Outlaws of the Marsh

Chapter 549 There are so many children that I can't recognize them all (please subscribe!)
...

After several months of encirclement and suppression, the remnants of Koryo and Taifeng were finally wiped out, and the peninsula completely belonged to Li Yan and Shuibo Liangshan.

With the accumulation of nearly ten years, many excellent civil servants from Liao, Goryeo, and Taifeng have been acquired. Li Yan has brought over 1 imperial students from the Song Dynasty. More importantly, the talents cultivated by Shuibo Liangshan have also grown. stand up.

Therefore, although the three major counties of Liaodong, Xuanju, and Lintun were obtained, for Shuibo Liangshan, it is not difficult at all to govern.

Soon, the people in the two counties of Lelang and Zhenfan came out of the flames of war, and the three counties of Liaodong, Xuanju, and Lintun also entered a stage of rapid development.

At this point, Li Yan, who had been busy for two or three years, was finally free.

For more than two years, Li Yan has not been able to spend time with his family.

Therefore, after he was free, Li Yan spent every day with his concubines and children.

The reason why Li Yan did this was because Li Yan suddenly discovered a very embarrassing thing - he didn't know many of his children.

To be honest, this is also impossible.

First of all, Li Yan has too many children. The total number of children is more than sixty. Moreover, it may be because the genes are too strong. It is not clear who is who.

Secondly, Li Yan went out for several years. When Li Shishi, Yu Zaoqian and other concubines had children, Li Yan was not in Seoul, so how could he know their children?

Thirdly, many of Li Yan's children were born to female officials and maids of honor. ?

Speaking of this, Li Yan really has to thank Liu Huiniang—fortunately, Liu Huiniang helped Li Yan take care of the harem, otherwise Li Yan might not be able to tell whether some children belong to him or not.

(Li Yan often acts casually when it comes to men and women, especially after drinking some wine. Sometimes, Li Yan may not remember who he got lucky with, but it doesn't matter, because there will be a special female officer secretly All of these are recorded, and most of the women who have been lucky by Li Yanlin will also report to the relevant departments, so that their children can be legalized, and their status in the palace can also be changed-but those who are lucky by Li Yanlin The status of the women who have passed will be improved, and if they give Li a son and a half daughter, there will be further rewards.)
Zhao Ji has only 31 sons and 34 daughters, so Zhao Gou doesn't even recognize his own father.

Now, Li Yan has already tied with Zhao Ji, and will definitely surpass Zhao Ji in the future.

Li Yan didn't want his children to deny their father like Zhao Gou.

Therefore, taking advantage of the time now, Li Yan decided to communicate more with his concubines and children.

During this expedition, Li Yan successively captured Xijing, Nanjing, and Tokyo in the Liao Kingdom, and robbed Emperor Tianzuo. He also captured Xijing in Goryeo and Kaijing in Taifeng.

Therefore, after returning, Li Yan rewarded all his concubines, especially those who gave birth to him.

In addition to material things, Li Yan also gave them spiritual things—Li Yan went to live in their palaces for a few days, asked them what their demands were, and rewarded their parents or brothers.

Of course, Li Yan still puts more energy on his children, taking them to ride horses, teaching them some games for later generations, playing with them, and cultivating a father-son (daughter) bond.

……

On this day, it was her turn to live in Yuzaoqian Palace for a few days.

After lunch, Li Yan, who had nothing to do, came directly to the palace in front of Yuzao.

Yu Zaoqian, who had already been notified, brought her palace people out to meet Li Yan early.

Li Yu, the son of Yu Zaoqian to Li Xiansheng, saw Li Yan coming, and trotted over, shouting, "Father!"

Li Yan took two steps forward, picked up little Li Yu, and said with a smile, "Yu'er, do you miss your father?"

Li Yu said in a childish voice: "Think about it, when will the father take Yu'er to fly a kite again?"

Li Yan said: "Well... If there is wind the day after tomorrow, Father will take you to fly kites again, okay?"

Li Yu said cheerfully: "Oh! Fly a kite! Fly a kite..."

At this time, Yuzaoqian, whose belly was slightly bulging, came to Li Yan's side and said softly, "Your Majesty, you spoil him too much."

Li Yandao: "I don't have anything to do recently, so I just want to spend more time with you."

While speaking, Li Yan took Yuzaoqian into the palace in front of Yuzao.

Li Yan looked at Yuzaoqian's lower abdomen and asked, "Are there any adverse reactions?"

Yuzao said with a smile, "It's pretty good. Mou Jie also came to see it and said everything is normal."

Li Yan said: "That's good, I have many things to do, and I may not be able to take care of you, so you must take care of yourself."

Yuzao said: "The concubine understands."

After hesitating for a moment, Yuzao asked, "This time Japan is taking advantage of the fire to do a lot of evil in the south. I don't know what your lord is going to do?"

All these years, Yu Zaoqian had been helping Li Yan with political affairs, but this smart woman had never intervened for a moment, but now she took the initiative to ask about settling accounts with Japan, which shows her concern for this matter.

Li Yan looked at Yuzao and asked, "It's been so many years, can't you let it go?"

The tears in front of Yuzao suddenly fell, and she cried: "The concubine wants to go, but now in Japan there are still rumors that the concubine is a white-faced golden-haired nine-tailed fox, and it is said that the concubine will go back one day sooner or later and take over Japan. ...Where does the concubine look like a monster?"

Li Yan raised Yu Zaoqian's chin and said with a smile: "You are a monster, a monster who fascinates people more than life."

Yu Zaoqian glanced at Li Yan coquettishly, and said: "Even if the concubine is a monster, it is only your monster, the king, and I don't want to be someone else's monster."

Li Yan knew that Yuzao's reputation as a monster would never be erased, so he persuaded: "Rumors only stop with wise men, so please take it lightly. Besides, vixen is very good, I like vixen."

While speaking, Li Yan touched Yuzaoqian's buttocks, as if he was looking for Yuzaoqian's nine tails.

Yuzao went to lean on Li Yan's arms, and said: "The concubine doesn't care about the name of this monster, she just wants to take revenge. You don't know, my lord, how they harmed the concubine in the first place."

Seeing Yuzao insisted on revenge, Li Yan was silent for a while, and said, "Do you still have contact with Japan?"

Yuzao said: "The concubine's adoptive father sneaked back to Japan a few years ago, and now he has contacted many like-minded samurai in Japan. If there is an incident, he should be able to recruit nearly ten thousand samurai."

Hearing what Yu Zaoqian said, Li Yan's eyes lit up.

In Li Yan's impression, Japan has always been strong and Korea is weak.

But Li Yan was wrong, and it was very wrong.

In this era, the combat power of Japanese samurai was extremely low, and their tactics were very backward.

Not long ago, Japan sent [-] samurai to attack Jeju Island as an example.

The [-] Japanese samurai attacked for nearly a month, but they didn't even go to Jeju Island.

Moreover, more than 3 people were killed by the second chamber of Liangshan.

Later, Bian Xiang gave Li Yan an account, introducing the battle in detail.

Most of Japan's so-called warships are sampans, and a few large ships can carry thousands of stones. They can't compare with the fleet in Liangshan. If the sun never sets, the fleet has to transport troops back and forth. "In a decisive battle, only the fleet that never sets will be able to wipe out the [-] Japanese troops.

Moreover, the advance and retreat of Japanese samurai are not organized, and the attack depends on each individual's bravery.

In addition, because of short stature, incomplete armor, backward weapons, etc., the three Japanese samurai could not beat a Liangshan warrior.

In short, the Japanese army in this era was very weak.

The Japanese army is so weak, they dare to come here to take advantage of the fire.

More importantly, Japan still has gold and silver that Li Yan is in short supply.

How could Li Yan not seek revenge from Japan?

It's just that Li Yan is suffering from ignorance of Japan, and he is afraid of launching a war blindly, which will make Shuibo Liangshan suffer a lot.

Unexpectedly, Yuzao still has a lot of power in Japan, which can just solve the dilemma Li Yan is currently facing.
