The Reborn Duke of Ming Dynasty

October is the golden autumn, the so-called harvest season. The common people have harvested the crops. As for the other kind of harvest above the court, I don’t know what it will be like now. It was the seed he planted at the beginning of this year, and after ten months of gestation, it should be time to reap something.

Ru Xue was pregnant in October, and now it is time to give birth. Two months ago, that is, in August, Ru Xue was still able to walk on the ground, but after entering September, she couldn't even get out of bed alone. I can't even get out of bed and stand up. Every time I get out of bed and move around, I have to rely on the support of the maid beside me.

Although Zhang Fan is a new star in the court today, what's more, his insight into Gaoyi has made a huge change in the situation in the court recently, and at the same time made many people's eyes turn to him, but even if Zhang Fan is capable , no matter how much he is appreciated by the emperor, he is just a man after all, he is not an omnipotent person, some things say that he is powerless, but he is powerless, just like the fact that this woman is pregnant, for an old man In other words, it is useless to be impatient or worried.

Fortunately, Zhang Fan has always been a relatively calm person. Since he can't help much, then simply don't ask too much. Is there a specialization in the so-called art industry? Naturally, professionals will worry about this kind of thing, but Zhang Fan, who came from 500 years later, naturally knows who these so-called midwives are in this feudal era. They rely on experience rather than technology. It's just countless times of proficiency, and there is no real theoretical knowledge at all. Although it is said that true knowledge comes from practice, it is handled by people who don't understand anything at all. For this reason, Zhang Fan even ignored his mother Zhao's objection and hired I bought a girl to live at home to deal with possible situations. Although it is said that the doctor in ancient times would not ask about such things as giving birth, at least, if something special happened, it would be much more convenient.

After this period of time, the Ming Dynasty was considered to be stable, so Zhang Fan was not too busy, but Zhang Fan also had a lot of things to deal with every day, so he couldn't stay at home with Ru Xue all day. After more than ten years of Qi Jiguang's anti-Japanese history, the Japanese pirates' troubles have been much less, and the large-scale Japanese troubles have long since disappeared, and the big battle in July this year can be regarded as huge. The news also spread like wildfire. Many Japanese pirates heard the news. They saw 2 people, including 8000 Japanese pirates and [-] regular soldiers from Fusang. Insufficient and hasty coping, as well as the impulsive actions of some generals, killed and injured about [-] people, and there were no other casualties. However, the most important point is that although the impact of this war is quite deep, it has Almost no civilians were hurt.

But even so, there are still many people dissatisfied. After all, the casualties of seven to eight thousand people are not a small number. The battle consumed such a number of people, but now they are facing these Japanese pirates who have never been opponents in the Ming Dynasty, and they have suffered such heavy casualties. Naturally, some people are dissatisfied. Of course, taking this opportunity, send some Money, dredging and dredging, and there are not a few people who want to make themselves superior. In short, many leading generals in the south of the Yangtze River and many officials who have been in charge of the military have undergone great changes. He still has a firm opinion. Of course, Zhang Fan also contributed a lot to this, that is, the army in the south of the Yangtze River must never be allowed to continue to be so scattered. The army in the south of the Yangtze River was built.

As for Zhang Fan, the person who contributed to the Jiangnan War this time, he didn't put his mind on it. In comparison, he was more concerned about the situation in Fusang.

As for the north, things have been developing in a good direction. Since the signing of the tribute exchange agreement with Alda at the beginning of this year, the border trade has never stopped. Because of the internal struggle of the Tartars, it was secretly assisted by Ming. It didn't take me long to suppress the internal rebellion, because Daming's assistance was not on expensive consumables such as military power, so I paid a huge price for this victory, but wait until I When he came to his senses and understood what Ming Ting had planned at the beginning, and began to gnash his teeth, it was already too late and the matter was already a foregone conclusion.

Now the rebellion within the Tartars has been quelled, but Ida also paid a huge price for it. The number of warriors in the tribe has dropped a lot. A nation with swords and swords, but it is obviously unwise to let all the next generation ride on horses and fight on the battlefield, and I agree that it is worth accepting this result with humility.

In short, as mentioned earlier, the Tartars no longer have the strength to launch an attack on Ming Dynasty, and Qi Jiguang and Wang Chonggu's defense of the border, and those small groups of Tartar forces are simply unable to come and plunder , All of a sudden, the border crossed flat, and the Mongols had no choice but to accept this fact, and honestly made business transactions with Daming, using their own cattle and sheep and local precious medicinal materials in exchange for their early Food and cloth that can no longer be separated.

In comparison, what Zhang Fan is most concerned about is the affairs in the Southwest. Although there is no superficial news about the remnants of Wei Yinbao's rebellion, Zhang Yong and Wang Xin, those who know a little bit about the situation Everyone understood that the two of them must be actively preparing various matters for breakfast, but Zhang Fan was a little puzzled, even if he was more careful about such a big event as a rebellion, there would inevitably be a lot of news coming out, and Now, no matter whether it is based on factual evidence or speculative rumors, no news has come out, which makes Zhang Fan feel very strange.

For this matter, Zhang Fan went to discuss with Feng Bao specifically, hoping that Feng Bao could help him in the investigation of this matter. Feng Bao is naturally responsive to Zhang Fan today and is very forthright. He readily agreed, and ever since, under the joint efforts of the two most powerful spy organizations in the Ming Dynasty, Dongchang and Jinyiwei, the investigation into the Southwest was carried out in full swing. It all increased a lot in vain, and the two also used some small means to get the local government to cooperate actively. Under this scale of investigation, it seems that it is foolproof.

However, under such a surefire situation, the southwest side is like an iron wall. After two months, there have been a lot of hearsay and unreliable news, but a little bit, even a tiny bit, is true. They haven't found them yet, which makes Zhang Fan a little puzzled. Could it be that those people in the Southwest are really so united and so secretive? But Zhang Fan doesn't think so. To be suppressed so easily by the imperial court, one must know that Wei Yinbao's rebellion back then was huge, and it was considered very successful at that time.

But even so, Zhang Fan still did not give up on the investigation of the southwest direction. In fact, his main purpose was to find out about Fang Zhenqian's news. In his view, the matter has involved many aspects, especially the woman he loves, which is the reason why Zhang Fan will intensify the investigation on this matter.

Because of these things, plus many other trivial matters on weekdays, although Zhang Fan is not too busy every day, he will definitely not be able to relax as he used to. , plus now, he has to take on the task of teaching Zhu Yijun, which is the only job he is not very busy now.

In short, Zhang Fan is very busy every day nowadays, and there is no time to go home on the way, but every day, as long as he finishes his work, he will return home immediately, just to accompany him. It was Ru Xue, his beloved wife who was about to give birth, and this also made Ru Xue's already good impression of Zhang Fan greatly sublimated once again.

No matter what Ru Xue said, she was just a woman who grew up in ancient feudal China, and naturally she didn't have Zhang Fan's kind of enlightened thinking after 500 years. She knew that Zhang Fan liked her very much, but as a woman, she had never experienced it. All men want is the idea of ​​passing on the family line.

However, what Zhang Fan is doing now is obviously hoping that the mother and child will be safe, or in other words, in case of any accident, what he hopes is that Ru Xue will be safe. After all, the child can be born again in the future, and the lover is only the one and only in front of him. one.

Although Zhang Fan did not express this idea clearly, the smart Ru Xue can naturally hear it from Zhang Fan's daily words and deeds. Knowing Zhang Fan's idea, how could Ru Xue do it? Not touched yet.

Day by day, everyone in Zhang's residence was preparing for this big event, and one day, it just happened.

Everything was as beautiful as people imagined, except that, except for the moment when Ru Xue gave birth, Zhang Fan's people were not at home,
