Rebirth Farmer Yaomei

Chapter 353 Blessing
Just as he was talking, the Palace of Jinghai prepared a banquet. Ning Wan used the excuse of changing clothes to go back to the guest room to meet Tie Shi. Sure enough, he came back to change clothes with the same intention and told himself, "Prince Jinghai intends to let the prince marry our family. , I think Sophora japonica is going to marry back to Liaodong."

"That's what I said too," Ning Wan said again: "It's not good to refuse directly, so I promised to help the prince to marry in the capital."

Tie Shi nodded after hearing this, "You have a good idea. King Jinghai is the only king with a different surname in this dynasty. When the court crowned him the throne, he had a lot of helplessness, and King Jinghai also had a knot in his heart, so the two sides have always been at odds. If If we can really promote the marriage between Prince Jinghai’s son and the Gaomen in the capital, it will actually be beneficial to both the imperial court and the Fujian region.”

"Although marrying a woman can't change anything, but after all, the two sides can communicate more from now on, and the previous gap may be able to make up for it." Ning Wan laughed again: "It's just that the truth is so, but help to say Dear, we still have to make sure that the young couple can live well in the future."

"That's natural. We feel sorry for our own daughter, and we can't harm other people's daughters."

"That's why I have to tell the truth about the situation at Prince Jinghai's mansion." Ning Wan lowered her voice and asked, "Do you think King Jinghai will be unhappy with us because of this?"

"Unhappiness is definitely unhappiness, but King Jinghai can achieve great things because he is very tolerant. After understanding our thoughts, he should also figure it out."

King Jinghai is the overlord of the sea with great talent and general strategy, so of course he would not be angry about such a trivial matter, and did not mention marriage at the next banquet, he just smiled at Madam Lu: "I heard that General Lu was afraid of his wife, I just thought it was someone doing it on purpose. The bad reputation of General Lu is now known to be really good!"

Ning Wan was sad for such words before, but now she doesn't care at all, Fu Yifu replied with a smile: "Our family is originally from the countryside, so we don't understand the rules of the nobles. As for Tieshi who is afraid of me , That’s nonsense.” But he laughed secretly in his heart, King Jinghai has countless concubines, and now that he is over fifty, he only has one eldest son and two weak grandchildren. It's not prosperous, not to mention that the biological mothers of the children and grandchildren are all low-level people, without the son-in-law that everyone looks up to, he really has no right to laugh at Tie Shi and himself.

King Jinghai saw that Mrs. Lu didn't take it seriously, so he waved his hands and said with a smile: "I invite you this time, actually there is another very important matter. Since Mrs. Lu can be the master of the house, you might as well listen to it."

"Since the establishment of Cangzhou and the garrison of the army, the coastal defense of Fujian has been like an iron barrel. The Japanese dare not come to fight, so they have gone north recently. I received the news that they occupied Ningzhou a few days ago, and then The river went upstream from the mouth of the great river, and went to the inland for more than 200 miles, and captured a county town. It seems that the Japanese have not yet returned from the inland."

"I would like to ask General Lu to move northward, take Ningzhou from the Japanese, and intercept the Japanese at Jiangkou," King Jinghai asked, "What does General Lu think?"

Ning Wan suddenly heard such news and couldn't help being shocked, the Japanese are so rampant!Previously in Liaodong, she didn't even know that the Japanese crown repeatedly violated the coast. Although she heard some rumors when she arrived in the capital, she still felt that it was just a disease of ringworm and scabies, which would not shake the foundation of the imperial court. The disaster is far more than she imagined, and it has caused great harm to the local people, and now it has reached the point of going ashore to attack the city and plunder the land.

After two years in Fujian, everyone's hatred for the Japanese has already surpassed that of the barbarians.In all fairness, although the Yi people would go south to harm the court people, it was because the Yi people's leaders were deceived by the rich specialties of the Central Plains and had the desire to plunder, and the ordinary Yi people would just follow their orders blindly.When the two sides cease fighting, everyone can mostly live in peace.What about the Japanese who came to commit crimes?I heard that they did not send soldiers out of the government, but were vicious by nature. When they arrived in the Central Plains, they burned, killed and looted, and they were more vicious than the barbarians.Moreover, the border between the Yi people and our court has not been clearly defined for thousands of years. There is still something to dispute about this, but the Japanese and the court are separated by a vast sea. They have no hatred, but they are bullied. What can't be tolerated!
"Fight over there and encircle and wipe out all the Japanese who entered the inland!" Ning Wan was about to shout, but she still managed herself at the last moment.

Fighting a war is not a matter of momentary loyalty, especially the situation along the coast is extremely complicated.

The reason why King Jinghai became the only king with a different surname in this dynasty was originally an expedient measure by the court. If King Jinghai had not stabilized Fujian, it would be hard to say what the situation in the southeast would be.However, since King Jinghai got the title, there have been many criticisms in the court, and King Jinghai has also made Fujian independent from the court, and he has a faint heart of disobedience.If Tie Shi was under King Jinghai's command, if he only fought against the Japanese in Fujian, he would follow the emperor's order after all, but if he left Fujian, it would be different.Tieshi did nothing back then and was charged with a lot of crimes, but now he doesn't know what will happen if he leads troops out of Fujian!

Leaving aside the imperial court, King Jinghai seems to want him to make up his mind when he asks Tieshi now, but it is the first time for him to actually release the soldiers and horses from Fujian. Would he be worried that the soldiers and horses will never come back?Ning Wan always knew that although Tieshi would go all out to fight against the Japanese in Fujian, his original intention was actually for the people and not for King Jinghai.In Tieshi's mind, he is still a courtier and not a subordinate of King Jinghai.

Therefore, King Jinghai had the idea of ​​marriage.Only when the interests of the Lu family and Jinghai Palace are completely tied together, can King Jinghai rest assured of Tie Shi.

When Ning Wan thought of this, her heart was in a mess, she hated the Japanese people, and hated the imperial court for not working hard to govern. The Japanese people have been in chaos for decades, why can't they train well in the coastal area!Fujian has been handed over to King Jinghai, what about Jiangnan?Is it possible to see that the most prosperous and prosperous place in the world is also being poisoned?
Now Tieshi is in Fujian, in this embarrassing situation, and even involved in his own daughter's marriage!Seeing him sitting upright, Ning Wan wanted to persuade him to go back and think about it, but Tie Shi had already said: "The most important thing in marching and fighting is timing. Since the Japanese dared to go up the river, they believed that the imperial court was powerless to defend against the enemy. There will be no troops from Fujian, and now we are going to Ningzhou as quickly as possible, so that we can block all the Japanese at the mouth of the river and make it impossible for them to escape the Skynet!"

King Jinghai asked, "If we send troops, what will happen to the court?"

"Ningzhou is farther away from Fujian than the capital city. It is estimated that the news will only enter Beijing after we defeat the Japanese. At that time, we have brought our troops back to Fujian, so it doesn't matter what we say."

King Jinghai said again: "But if we get Ningzhou from the Japanese, we will give it up directly?" Forcibly claiming the title of King Jinghai, and now sending troops and ships, I don't want to do it in vain.

Lu Tieshi said without even thinking: "Teaching the Japanese a profound lesson is more important than winning Ningzhou!"

Ning Wan never thought that Tie Shi would say such words, it sounded unrealistic, but the more she thought about it, the more she felt that these were the most sincere words.King Jinghai has a very high prestige in Fujian, but ordinary people don't know that he is actually at peace with the court. If there is a war between the court and King Jinghai, it is really hard for the people to say which side they will stand on.After all, the imperial court has ruled the world for more than a hundred years. Let’s just talk about the imperial examinations. People from Fujian are also participating now. The magistrate Qian of Hutai County was from Fujian, and Ningzhou should be more difficult to accept the rule of King Jinghai.It is actually very important to teach the Japanese people a lesson, not only to make them fear King Jinghai from the bottom of their hearts, but also to gain an excellent reputation.

King Jinghai was stunned for a moment and then said: "Brother Lu, you are a hero and have made outstanding achievements in battle, but how will the court treat you? Haven't you thought of dominating one side like a brother? If we get married, one south and one north, Get a few more places like Ningzhou and Qingzhou—" He waved his hand inward, "If you retreat, you will be able to protect yourself, and if you advance, you can sweep the world!"

It turns out that the rumors that King Jinghai has ambitions are true, and now he even persuades Tie Shi to be like him, but Tie Shi will not agree, Ning Wan can be sure.When the couple gossiped, they were often dissatisfied with the emperor, but they never thought of betraying their family and country.

Tie Shi also looked at his daughter-in-law at this time, and seeing her clear eyes, he turned to King Jinghai and said, "Neither of us husband and wife are ambitious people, and we don't want to see people dying. Cause war on the land of the Central Plains."

Ning Wan also said: "Although I am a woman, I have experienced the suffering of the barbarians going south in Liaodong, and I have seen the evil of the Japanese in Fujian. Sometimes I think of the imperial court and hate them for their incompetence and injustice, but no matter what the reason is, the war is the most important thing. The poor are all our people!"

King Jinghai let out a long sigh, "What the virtuous couple said is true, and everyone has their own ambitions, so we can't force it. In this case, we don't have to stretch our hands in the affairs of Ningzhou and other places. If there is no fault, we will have merit. Only recently have the ministries strengthen their defenses and manage Fujian well. The land is enough. Today is a good day, let's put those things aside and just have a good drink."

It was King Jinghai who immediately called them over after getting the news, and now he put it down, but who would be in the mood to drink?
Tie Shi got up and cupped his hands and begged: "No matter what, the Japanese harm Jiangnan is to harm the people of our dynasty. Please also ask King Jinghai to borrow five thousand soldiers. I will go to Ningzhou to fight the Japanese. The property, prisoners, weapons, and warships are all the same. The number is given, and the Japanese will not guard against it, and the income must be very large."

King Jinghai made a troubled look, "I naturally believe in Brother Lu, otherwise I wouldn't have invited Brother Lu to discuss it as soon as I heard the news. It's just that I have always treated Brother Lu as a sibling, but Brother Lu treats me like an outsider. Then my old brothers at sea asked me why I borrowed troops and how should I answer? I’m afraid the teacher came from nowhere!”

Ning Wan knew that he was rejected earlier, but she was still angry, and now she forced her family to propose a marriage and tied the two families together.Now that things are going on, Tie Shi is even more difficult. He was about to speak, but he heard the following Prince Jinghai come up and say: "Father, let me lead the boat to Ningzhou! Uncle Lu will go with me and be in charge of military affairs. If When some uncles asked about it, they only said that I wanted to make a name for Fujian.”

King Jinghai looked at his son and smiled helplessly, "Since my son is willing to do so, then call for soldiers immediately for father, and everyone will send troops to Ningzhou after drinking the farewell wine, which will stop the Japanese!"

Ning Wan also felt the love of Prince Jinghai's son, so she also smiled and said: "I always like the picturesque scenery of Lu Island. This time, Tie Shi will follow the son to go to war, so I will take the children to stay on the island for a longer period of time. Please don't be disgusted, my lord." King Jinghai needs to explain to his brothers, so he will use himself as a pledge.

King Jinghai nodded and said: "Since Mrs. Lu likes the scenery of the island, let Mrs. Bai take it around and see how our house is different from the imperial palace in the capital, so that I can renovate it."

Not mentioning that Tie Shi and Prince Jinghai sent troops, Ning Wan stayed on the island, and she was indeed led by Bai to see all over the island: the deep-water port where ships can berthed, the island's stretches of fields and vegetable gardens, planted with many High-yield overseas grain and vegetables, the granite castle towering on the highest point of the island, a huge warehouse full of rare treasures...

Aunt Bai looked all the way and was amazed, "Actually, I was only able to enter the warehouse because of Mrs. Tolu's blessing. I didn't know that our prince has so many treasures! There is also the main hall of the princess. It was saluted in the hall many years ago, and now it is the first place. Go inside once and take a look!"

It was also the first time for Ning Wan to go upstairs to the Ludao Castle. It is said that this castle was built in imitation of Western houses, and it is very different from the houses of this Dynasty. The first floor is a tall and spacious hall, and the second floor is the Jinghai Palace. private house.Now she is standing in the westernmost room on the second floor, speechless for a moment, the semi-circular wall facing the door is covered with pieces of glass a few feet high, as if nothing, the sunlight outside is completely It poured in, shaking her so much that she couldn't help squinting her eyes.Now the Lu family also has this kind of glass, but it is much smaller. It is installed in the carved window frames, and everyone who sees it admires it repeatedly.But the castle that was built many years ago has already used bigger glass, which surprised her even more than the treasures in the warehouse.

The glass is shipped from the west, it is an extremely valuable item, and it is easy to break. I don’t know how many cargo ships have picked out such a large glass, and only King Jinghai has this ability!
The crystal clear glass allowed Ning Wan to see all kinds of rare decorations in the house and the bright roses outside the window more clearly. She suddenly understood the pride of King Jinghai. His castle was indeed not inferior to the imperial palace. Judging from Wan's preferences, this place is much more beautiful than Kunning Palace.

I heard Bai's voice saying in a low voice: "The grandfather of the princess is the most loyal subject of the grandfather of the prince. He led his family to die in the sea with the grandfather of the prince. The princess is a posthumous daughter, so our prince treats her again. Cherish and respect, but no one has lived in this room for many years. In the future, only the concubine of the crown prince is eligible to live here." Ning Wan sincerely nodded in appreciation, "This place is indeed beautiful, the future crown prince's concubine How lucky!"

But she always believed that people who are blessed to live in such a gorgeous house and have countless treasures may not be really happy. She would not marry Sophora japonica for the treasures of the luxurious house.So Ning Wan wrote a letter to Mrs. Ping Ninghou, the right governor of the Fifth Army Dudu Mansion, in front of Aunt Bai, asking Mrs. Ping Ninghou to see the marriage for Prince Jinghai's son, which can be regarded as expressing her attitude.
