Horse on the World

Chapter 975
Under Mrs. Wen's strong intervention, Taoyuan Xiaozhu became the place where Li Qing's family reunited. They laughed and talked, and their children and grandchildren were around their knees. There will be two more children and granddaughters in sight. Li Qing's family is thriving, and she is the happiest.
Li Muzhi and Li Feng were happy, Qiu Shi and Li Qing resolved their knots, Yan Ran and Jiyue were happy, after this time, Li Qing's order to restrain them was in name only, and this time the Baoer incident turned into a trivial matter. melted.Anmin, Jishi, Xinyi, and Tang Long were even more elated. Not only were they given gifts during the Chinese New Year, but they also got an extra reward of setting off fireworks by themselves. Watching the bright flowers blooming in the night sky, the little doll Their pure laughter echoed over Taoyuan Xiaozhu.
Everything seemed harmonious and complete.
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, Lu Yiming, Yan Nanfei, Luo Daoming, Guo Shanfeng and others came to Taoyuan Xiaozhu to pay New Year's greetings. After a short reunion, everyone set off for Huanxi's mansion in Dingzhou City to pay respects to Huanxi and Ming. Smoke wedding congratulations.

Huan Xi's status is detached, and he has a very good relationship not only with Li Qing, but also with high-ranking officials and dignitaries in Dingzhou. Almost most of the officials and doctors in the entire medical system of Dingzhou come from Huanxi's sect, no matter what the reason is The purpose, Huanxi's wedding day, was unprecedentedly lively and grand, even more so than Li Qing's wedding. After all, not everyone was qualified to attend Li Qing's wedding, but Huanxi was different. It's worth it to give a gift if you look familiar.
Looking at the beautiful bride and the white-haired groom, Li Qing always had a strange feeling, especially when he saw Huanxi's sons bowing down in front of Mingyan and calling him "mother". He almost laughed, but when he saw the smiles and satisfaction from the heart of Huanxi and Mingyan, Li Qing felt a little lost.

Perhaps, this is the best destination for Mingyan who has spent half his life.
But Huanxi finally did not spend the wedding night in the bridal chamber.

In the middle of the night, after dealing with He Xi's hostess, Huan Xi, who had just entered the bridal chamber, just picked up the red scarf covered by Mingyan with a golden scale, before he even had time to say a few words, several horses galloped away from Taoyuan Xiaozhu Come, Concubine Bao is about to give birth. Although there are several doctors and midwives with rich experience in delivering babies in Taoyuan Xiaozhu, Quan Baoer is premature after all, and the fetus is less than nine months old. How can Li Qing feel relieved? At this time, I didn't care about Huanxi's small admission, so I sent someone to pick up Huanxi to sit in town.

Taoyuan Xiaozhu was brightly lit, and the house where Concubine Bao lived was crowded with people. In the living room sat Li Muzhi and Wen Shi and Qiu Shi, Ji Yue sat on the other side, and Yan Ran was sent back by Wen Shi. She didn't want to let the situation of Ji Yue's childbirth frighten her daughter-in-law.Li Qing was rubbing his hands and feet, and kept turning around in the room, the hoarse cry of Concubine Bao came from the inner room, Chang Kuan leaned against the wall with his arms in his arms, his face was full of worry, And Wu Siniang is in the house accompanying her daughter to give birth.
When Huan Xi, who was still wearing a red dress, hurried in, nearly two hours had passed. Li Qing was sweating profusely on his forehead. He held Huan Xi's hand and said, "It's been two hours, and I haven't given birth yet." , will there be no problem?"
Huan Xi calmly said: "It will be fine. Although Concubine Bao was born prematurely, Concubine Bao has always been in good health, so she should be fine." He picked up a chair, sat by the door, and loudly asked the midwife inside. And make a series of guidance according to the report inside.
As the first light of dawn appeared in the sky, there was a loud cry of a baby from inside the house. Concubine Bao, who had been fighting for five or six hours, finally gave birth to a boy safely. Wu Siniang walked out of the back room with the wrapped baby in her arms, with a happy face He held it in both hands and handed it to Li Qing: "My lord, it's a boy, weighing five and a half catties!"

Although he already had three children, this was the first time he saw his own child born on the spot. Li Qing excitedly took it with both hands and held it in his arms. Children, can't help but smile.

"My lord!" Huan Xi walked over, "Although the child is less than a month old, he is still in good health, better than I expected. Just be careful and raise him for a few years, and he will be no different from ordinary people."
"Thank you, Mr. Huan!" Li Qing said, "I feel very sorry for delaying your bridal chamber wedding night."

Huan Xi laughed loudly: "My lord just needs to give me a few more jugs of good wine from the mansion to compensate me."

Li Qing said with a smile: "Mr. Huan, just go to my house and take as much as you want."

Huan Xi smiled happily, "My lord, the young master is born, you still have to name him!"

Li Qing walked around the room a few times with the child in his arms, looked up at the window, the sky was bright at this time, the weather had been gloomy for many days, today unexpectedly it was clear, a round of red sun jumped out of the horizon just at this time At the same time, thousands of rays of light will come down, illuminating the inside and outside of the house red.

"This child should be called Shimin!" Li Qing said, "Li Shimin!"
In Dingzhou in the New Year, the birth of Li Shimin, the fourth child of Regent Li Qing, gave the whole Dingzhou another reason to celebrate the new year. For the local people in Dingzhou, Li Qing was The god in their hearts, these years, under the leadership of Li Qing, Dingzhou not only got rid of the impoverished and precarious life in the past, but also made Dingzhou the center of attention of the whole mainland. The rapid development of industry and commerce made Dingzhou in the A large amount of wealth was accumulated in a short period of time, and the gentry and aristocrats devoted themselves to investing in emerging industries and commerce, which fully released the land resources of Dingzhou, and ordinary people truly realized the dream of living in land to the tiller.Farming when busy, working when free, all year round, there is always no free time, life is getting richer day by day, pockets are getting bigger day by day, coupled with some policy inclinations of the center towards Dingzhou, making this place the people are richer.

Entering the spring, Dingzhou, which should have been busy with spring plowing, was busy doing another thing. A large number of young and strong laborers were mobilized to form a magnificent transport brigade, and began to transport materials to the front line. , The constant flow of people and convoys stays day and night.In Fuzhou seaport, the mountains of supplies were dragged away one by one by huge warships, but there was no decrease.

All the people and gentry in Dingzhou are very excited. This is the final battle. After this battle, a new dynasty will be born on this continent, and they will become the witnesses and founders of this new dynasty.
When the spring is warm and the flowers are blooming, it is time for Dingzhou to launch the final attack on Luoyang.
In March, Yanran gave birth to Li Qing at the Prince Regent's Mansion and named her Zemin.King Zhou, Princess Yanran, and the former courtiers of Zhou Dynasty breathed a sigh of relief at the birth of Zemin, and their expressions of joy were beyond words.
In March, Li Qing issued an order to the Yang Yidao Department in the Youyan area, and the Central Group Army went out of Xiegu, and the offensive began.
At the end of March, at Lu Dalin in Suzhou, Tian Feng divided the regiment into two groups and began to attack Zhou Tong's 20 troops entrenched in Suzhou.

Pinggu County, Yang Yidao Camp.

Another batch of ordnance was packed in tight boxes and dragged into Yang Yidao's camp. Since the start of the attack, Yang Yidao's army of more than 20 troops fought fiercely with Xiangping's nearly [-] troops for several battles. However, Xiang Ping's main force was not seriously damaged, and his strength still existed. The [-] heavy armored cavalry in the opponent's army also made Yang Yidao and Xiao Yuanshan feel scruples. After several battles, every critical moment, the iron armor Heavy cavalry is always able to turn the tide and make the Dingzhou army fail.

Li Feng's first tactic of defeating armored cavalry with light cavalry did not achieve much effect here. In Qingzhou, the entire army of a thousand armored cavalry was annihilated, which sounded the alarm for them. The heavy cavalry made the Dingzhou cavalry group headed by Jiang Kui helpless.

And Yang Yidao and Xiao Yuanshan had to try their best to avoid large-scale battles with each other on a flat battlefield, because this was exactly what Xiang Ping expected. One point, even Jiang Kui, who has won the three armies bravely, has to admit it.In a head-on confrontation, it is difficult for light cavalry to block the impact of armored cavalry.
And the arrival of this batch of ordnance is precisely to defeat the armored cavalry.
"Open the box!" Yang Yidao said.
The steel rod was inserted into the gap, and with a light pull, the box opened, and a black Shenwei cannon appeared in everyone's field of vision. Compared with the batch of cannons that Qingfeng sent to Minzhou, this one was obviously much smaller ．

"This is our Shenwei cannon in Dingzhou!" Yang Yidao introduced to Xiao Yuanshan. "From the big guy weighing several thousand catties when it was invented to less than one thousand catties now, the Shenwei Cannon has achieved a qualitative leap!" Yang Yidao beamed, "The Shenwei Cannon could only be equipped for sailors at the beginning, but now, But it can already be deployed in large quantities for our army!"
Xiao Yuanshan was also in high spirits, no matter what, he was now on the side that was about to win, Xiao Haoran's final decision finally made Xiao Shi choose the right side.

"How much equipment did your lord equip our Central Group Army this time?" Xiao Yuanshan asked.
Yang Yidao raised a finger. "A hundred gates, a full hundred gates! There is still enough ammunition for us to fight all the way to Luoyang."
"With him, the armored cavalry will be sent to the grave." Xiao Yuanshan said, "It's time to start a decisive battle with the opponent."

Yang Yidao laughed, "You're right. Isn't Xiang Ping always looking for a confrontation with us? Isn't he just trying to use the armored cavalry to tear up our defenses and crush our soldiers? Why don't we fulfill his wish. "
Xiao Yuanshan knocked on the sound of the Shenwei cannon, "I am looking forward to the look on Xiang Ping's face when they roar."

Yang Yidao laughed loudly, "It must be wonderful, Mr. Xiao, let's go, let's choose a burial place for Xiang Ping."
