Win the Ding 1617

() When Shouhan returned to the inner house, Xiao Huamei was basking in the sun with her younger siblings in the newly built sun room with her mothers.

Meishan, Shilin, and Yanmeier added two men and one woman to Shou Han.In order to ensure the healthy growth of the babies, Shou Han ordered people to build this sunshine room for his wife and children with glass in the inner house.He also ordered people to put some flowers, plants and trees collected in the house, turning the sun room into a greenhouse.

The house with thin copper strips as the skeleton and colored glass inlaid in the middle is about the size of five bays. Under the bright sunlight, it exudes a dreamlike light.

The wives and children can let those little babies bask in the sun in such an environment where flowers and plants are everywhere, without worrying about being blown by the wind.

While teasing her younger siblings who were lying in a cradle made of bamboo woven with gold thread, Hua Mei heard the footsteps, looked up, and immediately let out a yell in surprise. <Yan generally threw herself into Shou Han's arms.

"Daddy hug!"

Behind Huamei, like a clumsy little bear, Xiao Huayu opened his arms inarticulately and asked Dad to hug him.Behind him, another daughter of Shou Han who was also dressed like a flower, Meishan's little Hua Duo, who was born for Shou Han, also opened her delicate arms and asked her father to hug her.

According to Shou Han's meaning, the names of the boys in the family are all taken from characters with a treasure cover, while the names of the daughters are all chosen from the characters next to the wooden characters because of Huamei.

Seeing Shou Han's expression not hesitating, Yan Mei'er, who was still wearing a turban on her head, gently called for the children to come back, "You all come here, don't pester Dad anymore!"

She put down the stack of papers in her hand, rubbed her cheeks, ordered someone to make tea and serve snacks for Shou Han, and asked her man with a smile, "Didn't you say to go to the chemical workshop to inspect their new crafts today? What's the matter?" Come back so early?"

A few days ago, there was a report from a chemical workshop, saying that they had researched how to extract the iodine that adults call from kelp, and they also had a process for extracting sugar from corn.Shouhan was very excited. With iodine and glucose, the silver mirror reaction can be carried out, which further reduces the production cost of mirrors, and can further manufacture mirrors on a large scale and distribute them to various places, making money for the South China Army.Today, I was supposed to go to the chemical workshop to see their academic achievements, but I didn't expect to come back halfway.

"What did you take?" Instead of answering his wife's question directly, he asked Yan Mei'er instead.Shou Han was very interested in the stack of papers in his wife's hand.

"Oh! Isn't this going to be a centenary event for Huaning, Huaxuan, and Hualiu? The people below drew up a list of guests to be invited by relatives and friends. Let me check it to see if there are any omissions. I I have read it here, and I have to take it to the Rites to see if there is anything to add from the gentlemen of the Rites."

Shouhan took the paper full of names and kinship in Yan Meier's hand, flipped through a few pages, and stretched out his hand to signal, "Pen!"

Mei Shan, who was taking care of the newborn, handed a vermilion pen to Shou Han with great eyes.

"This group of people from Arakan, don't be among the guests we invite!"

Shouhan's pen tip randomly stroked the paper a few times, crossing out more than a dozen names of Arakan.

"List them among the subordinates of the South Central Army!"

"This? Is it suitable? When Er Ya was [-] years old and Zhuo Zhou, people came to give gifts."

Although Yan Meier doesn't know much about the outside world, she keeps the account of relatives and friends very clearly in her heart.

"I just received an urgent report from the front that Arakan couldn't resist King Toungoo's attack, so he asked us to join us. King Arakan said that as long as he can save his life, he is willing to be a member of our South Central Army. "

"Oh! This is a good thing! Does it mean that our South China Army has expanded its territory again?!"

Yan Meier was a little overjoyed.

"Not bad! Moreover, because Arakan is close to the sea, there are many good sailors among the natives. In the future, sailors can be recruited from there to work in the navy and fleet."

Under the aggressive offensive of the Mangying family in Taungoo, Myanmar, the King of Arakan could not resist it. At this time, the ministers of the country offered him advice. If we want our lives and property, we will dedicate our country and people to the South China Army, find a big tree to hug, and ask the South China Army to protect our property and life in exchange for an official position. Continue to enjoy wealth and wealth.

As a result, at the unanimous request of the Arakan Dynasty from the king to the ministers, the southwestern coastal area of ​​Myanmar, starting from Qinling Mountains in the north and ending in the west of the Irrawaddy River Delta in the south, announced that it would belong to the South Central Army.King Anabilon of Burma heard the news and saw that the banners of the South China Army were hanging on the tops of the towns in front of him. He didn't dare to make mistakes, and hurriedly ordered the former enemy to lead the troops to retreat.

"The seal they requested has been sent to Hue by the Portuguese fast boat. The seal says that as long as we preserve their property and life, they are willing to live in any place designated by the South Central Army. If we can give them It would be even better to have a part-time job and receive a salary!"

Yan Meier was a little puzzled, "They asked to enclose it, but why the seal was sent by the Portuguese?"

"You don't know about this."

After taking a sip of tea, Shou Han's mind also calmed down a little.

"This Arakan has always been a well-born sailor, and has some connection with the Portuguese pirates and the so-called soldiers. Many Portuguese sailors on board are Arakan! It is inevitable that there are some unclear relationships between them. And The two families once fought together against King Toungoo in Burma. Now Gonzalez’s Portuguese renaissance is recruiting soldiers and sailors in the Arakan region, and there is a bit of a relationship between the two. In this way, the Portuguese used fast boats to transport the two A seal has been sent to Hue!"

"Sir, have you promised them?"

"Agreed! Of course I agreed! Not only did I agree, but I also asked them if they would like a salary, or would they like to have the trading agency rights of a Hanyuan firm in a certain area?"

"Then, will Dongyu Wang Mangying's family give up? This Arakan is a piece of fat they can easily get! Now that the cooked duck is flying, will they accept it?" The money came out.

"This is the general trend! Not long ago, Xu Huanshan led the army to Tsinghua. He wanted to fight the Mo family, but in the end he missed with one punch. Mo Deling ordered Mo Jingkuan's family to be counted Sacrifice, surrender. Unwilling to be reconciled, this guy led his troops westward to rest. Now he is on the back of the Mangying family! If his Mangying family dares to say something disrespectful, he will face the enemy twice!"

It turned out that the battle on the western front was won, and Li Muhua didn't know what it was like to hear that the Mo family, who had been enemies with his family for many years, was kidnapped by his subordinates and left the city to surrender.In any case, I was standing behind the winner and saw this scene, so I was considered a winner!

"Then, why is my husband still a little unhappy?" Coaxing little Hua Ning to sleep, Mei Shan hurriedly came to Shou Han's side, the scent of her nai mixed with her own body scent, under the noon sun More and more charming.

Shou Han looked at Mei Shan's plump body after giving birth with some obsession, and heaved a long sigh!

In the morning, I received several urgent documents in succession.

Except for the form attached to this Arakan request, which is a surprise, the rest of the documents are new situations in several strategic directions!

Zhang Xiaohu on the Eastern Front led a huge fleet of [-] new recruits to Luzon to recover the land that had been occupied by the Spaniards for many years and caused the Chinese to shed blood and tears.According to the traditional habits and the regulations of the Navy of the South China Army, the Navy divides the personnel into deputy finance officers according to their respective responsibilities, and is in charge of goods and money.Chief, coordinate incidents on board.The fire is long, in charge of the leakage and the needle path.Yaban, helmsman, Da Liao and Er Liao are in charge of Liao Suo.The first anchor and the second anchor, the secretary anchor.First relocation, second relocation, third relocation, Si mast rope.Escort workers and manage the cargo on board.Choose the warehouse and clean the cabin.General sales, management food.Xiang Gong, responsible for offering sacrifices.

Dozens of ships rushed to Luzon all the way!

However, the same fate happened to Zhang Xiaohu!

When his flagship just appeared in Manila Bay, the soldiers on the forts on the hills on both sides discovered the very ostentatious three-headed tiger logo.The panicked people rang the alarm bell and passed the bad news to Luzon Island that the guy who had starved to death the rats who had looted the islands of Luzon led a huge fleet.

After the bell rang, the soldiers on the fort consciously sat on the ground of the fort, placed the gunpowder and shells separately, and waited for the Nanzhong Army to come to receive them.

"Why didn't you resist? Why didn't you fire?!"

When Zhang Xiaohu learned the terrible news from the sailors, he jumped up on the deck of the bridge and cursed in anger.

"This group of eggless bastards!"

"My lord! According to the testimonies of these Spaniards and Luzon natives, the businesses on Luzon Island are basically controlled by fellow Fujianese. Only the governor can make a fortune. The rest of the hundreds of Spaniards are also poor for a long time. Yes. I wish I could do something here in the Nanzhong Army, so that I can receive a military salary."

"Grandma Pu! You bastards!"

Outside Manila, Zhang Xiaohu was furious when he saw Viscount Pérez, the Governor of Spain in Manila, who was holding a white flag with a smile on his face and leading a group of civil and military officials to welcome him on the pier.

Zhang Xiaohu grabbed the hall tightly.Viscount Perez's big dress, if someone beside him pulled him, our Commander Zhang's big slap would be the turn of Viscount Perez's fat face.

"General Zhang, I'm here to surrender. Do you think it's too late for me to surrender?"

Mr. Perez looked at Commander Zhang with an innocent face.

(Is it easy for me? You have controlled the economy of Luzon Island these years, and all the Chinese don’t pay taxes, let alone the poll tax and other payments that go to the small treasury of the Governor’s Palace! Count on those lazy natives, How much tax and wealth can I collect? But the Chinese use knives and guns every day in addition to doing business. How can the hundreds of Spanish soldiers in my hand deal with tens of thousands of Chinese with knives and guns? Not bad! Then Governor Li left me some business to do, otherwise, I would have to spend time on this hot island like those unlucky soldiers and monks!)

"Oh! I lost your old mother!" Zhang Xiaohu, who thought that he could fight in Manila when he saw that his opponent was like this, slammed into the hall.The collar of Viscount Perez brought him to the fort in Manila City, pointing to the sea in the distance.

"For you! With the Spaniards from Luzon, I brought forty boats! There are thousands of sailors and sailors alone! I planned to practice my hands and feet here with you, but you bastard raised the white flag and surrendered! "

"My lord. In fact, I also have a voting certificate for the South China Army."

Viscount Don Pérez gave full play to his characteristics of being a nobleman among rogues, a rogue among nobles, lowered his head and leaned into Zhang Xiaohu's ear, whispering to him.

"What is a vote certificate?! Does the vote certificate have anything to say?!"

Zhang Xiaohu scolded this uneducated Western Red Maoyi, and a sense of cultural superiority was born in his heart.

"Yes, yes, yes! It's because I didn't study well."

Church.As the governor of Spain in Manila, Perez naturally knew some secrets of the Spanish Empire. Not long ago, he received a letter.A letter sent from the Viceroyalty of Peru, a Spanish fleet transported a large amount of gold and silver from Peru, to the east for trade, and the materials and profits obtained will be transported to Spain by the fleet to support the empire's sacred work in Europe war.

"Ok?"

As expected of being a pirate, Zhang Xiaohu heard a fleet transporting gold and silver, and immediately let go of his hands like iron clamps, and put his arms around Perez's neck. The two of them are like a pair who have gone through countless hardships. Like brothers reunited after a long absence.

"How much gold and silver is there in the fleet you speak of transporting gold and silver?"

He talked to Perez in the same tone that he used to talk to his own brother, and the tone was so affectionate that the people around him felt hairy and goosebumps all over their bodies!

"When we set off, there were about 100 million taels of gold and about 500 million taels of silver. In addition, there seemed to be some gems such as emeralds. These gems were packed into seven or eight boxes."

"Good! Good!" Zhang Xiaohu laughed wildly and patted Tang.Perez's shoulder, "I have accepted the property for the South China Army! When the property is in hand, I must reward you according to the regulations!"

"It all depends on the promotion of the adults!"

Zhang Xiaohu laughed triumphantly in his heart, 100 million taels of gold, 500 million taels of silver, and several boxes of precious stones. Are there military expenses?Although this trip to Luzon did not receive the effect of military training, the gains outweighed the losses if they lost what Sang Yu gained in the east!

The former governor of the Spanish Empire in Manila, Viscount Perez, bowed to Zhang Xiaohu very gracefully, and then respectfully invited Zhang Xiaohu and the soldiers of the South China Army Navy to enter the city.

After a short rest and replenishment in Manila, the soldiers and horses stationed here were left behind and handed over to Zhang Cheng, the new prefect of Luzon. Customers who transport goods across oceans to Manila.

"Then, did Zhang Xiaoliuzi succeed?"

Xiao Huamei, who blinked curiously and listened to Dad telling the story of the navy, was very anxious to hear the result.

"Ah! Don't be unruly!"

Yan Meier scowled and reprimanded her daughter.

"Either call him his official position, Commander Zhang, or call him Uncle Zhang. How can anyone call him that?"

After hearing A Niang's reprimand, Xiao Huamei just stuck out her tongue weirdly, and repeated it like a parrot.

"Excuse me, Dad, Zhang Xiaohu, the left wing commander of the South China Army's navy, led the navy's gunboat to Luzon Island, and led the army out to fight the Spanish navy. I don't know how we will win or lose?"

Seeing the little girl's adult expression, everyone smiled.

Shou Han laughed for a while, took out two things from his pocket, and held them in his hands, "Guess what, what are they?"

"Is it the seal of King Luzon?!"

Xiao Huamei said to Father confidently.

"No! Where is the King of Luzon? Guess again!"

"What is it?"

"Could it be Zhang Xiaoliuzi, the spoils of Zhang Da Commander?"

Xiao Huamei was a little uncertain.

"The sky is lingling, the earth is lingling. Taishang Laojun is in a hurry like a law!"

After Shou Han made a fool of himself, he spread his hands outwards. In his palms, two emeralds shone lovelyly under the sunlight.

"Ah!" Everyone exclaimed.In recent years, as the South China Army has controlled the east-west routes, it has almost monopolized the trade with Europeans, and it has collected taxes on the routes. It can be said that it has seen gold mountains and silver seas.All the people in the mansion, including the wives, Uncle Fu and Shou Han himself, and even the maids and women around the wives are all used to seeing rare treasures with their eyes.However, she has never seen such a large and moist emerald before!

"This is the loot sent back by Zhang Xiaoliuzi. Along with these emeralds, there is also the intact Spanish treasure fleet. Half of our navy has also returned. Xiaoliuzi brought the emeralds back to Hue. The [-] boats, mainly composed of recruits, were diverted to the senior officials, and they planned to pull out all the Spanish strongholds there, and hand them over to Zheng Zhilong. Then they returned to Hue to celebrate!"

Several women glanced at each other. There were good news coming from all directions. Why was his man so unhappy?

No matter how openly and secretly they fight with each other on weekdays, everyone knows that this family can lose anyone. Once the Shouhan falls, it will really fall, the white jade pillars supporting the sky, the purple golden beams of the sea, and the whole family's death The sky is falling!

"Chen Tianhua from the northern line and Li Peiting from Guangzhou jointly sent a letter of plea, and the North Route Army suffered a loss. In Xin'an County, they were intercepted by the armed landlords organized by the local local tyrants, and more than a thousand refugees who surrendered to our South Central Army died. There were more than 170 wounded, more than 500 soldiers died in battle, and nearly [-] were injured. This is a huge loss that our South China Army has never had since its establishment!"

"Tianhua raised his troops to avenge the incident on the third day after the incident, but in the end, he returned in defeat at Jiqingwei and other strongholds. More than a hundred people were killed and injured!" (To be continued.)
