Wu Nian stood with his hands behind his hands and turned to look at Chen.
Mrs. Chen nodded lightly, glanced at Chen Jiagui, hugged her son, and walked away surrounded by her maids and wet nurses.
"General. I received the news. Chunyuan issued an order. 1. Disband the soldiers of thousands of Han households, collect armor, and equip Mongolian soldiers. 2. Order people to make heavy axes and divine arm bows, and select soldiers to establish a heavy army. Heavy armored ax soldiers, divine arm archers. 3. Order all households to strengthen military discipline and refine their soldiers."
Chen Jiagui didn't bother to salute. After standing still, he said immediately with an extremely ugly face.
The sparkle in Wu Nian's eyes flashed, and after a moment, it slowly subsided. He glanced at Chen Jiagui and said: "Calm down. I use heavy armor, heavy ax soldiers, and divine arm bows to compete with thousands of households in the Meng Yuan Dynasty, and I have won many battles. Chunyuan is not stupid, and it is normal for him to find a way to deal with me. Things. And the easiest way is to imitate the tiger."
"With the quality of the Mongolian soldiers, it is indeed no small feat to train heavy armor, heavy axe soldiers, and divine arm archers."
"But our military morale is also very important."
"It's really a fight. I trust my soldiers."
"As for the thousands of Han households. Now that there are frequent problems, of course he has to ban them."
Wu Nian held his head high and his whole body was filled with confidence.
"Yes." Chen Jiagui couldn't help but admire him, loudly agreed, then turned around and left.
Wu Nian exhaled, with a slightly worried look on his face. In front of others, he should not be discouraged or decadent, and would always be a high-spirited general supporting the Han Dynasty.
otherwise. How to unite people's hearts?
But that doesn't have to be the case in private. Although what he just said was very relaxed, it was actually not that relaxed.
The heavy armor, heavy axe, and divine arm bow were his weapons, and they were now copied by Chunyuan. If we fight in the future, even if we win, our losses will be huge.
It is even more pity that there are tens of thousands of Han households. It is like a sieve that leaks air, allowing you to sneak in and use tricks. But now it has been disbanded by Junyuan.
"Expelling the Tartars and recovering Liaodong. It's not easy." Wu Young sighed softly and shook his head. But he didn't think much about it.
there is always a solution to a problem.
Now he has no other choice but to guard Yingqing Mansion. Let the nine major captains train elite soldiers and strengthen themselves before they can make progress.
Without strength, everything is just talk. Even if there is a chance, I can't seize it.
Chunyuan's actions caused some waves in Yingqing Mansion.
But not big.
The beliefs of the officials, the army, and the people were united, and Wu Nian's prestige was sufficient to carry the hearts of the officials, the people, and the military. Everyone believes it.
Wu Nian will definitely be able to lead them to expel the Tartars and regain Liaodong.
What are you afraid of?
Wu Nian's banner did not fall, and the entire Yingqing Mansion was as calm as the Dead Sea. Officials and people are busy celebrating the New Year.
Including the Wu family.
Amid much anticipation, New Year's Eve has finally arrived. Wu Nian and the baby's family, including Wu Yu, Wu Wuyang, and Wu Huazhuang, had a lively New Year's Eve dinner together and stayed in Liu Xiang's bedroom that night.
New Year's Day. Wu Nian took a nap, and when he woke up, it was already three o'clock in the morning. When I reached out and touched the person next to the pillow, he was already gone.
He called the maid to bring hot water in. After washing up, he had a hearty breakfast in the room. After asking the maid, he came to the small living room.
Liu Xiang and Wu were sitting at the main seats, talking across the coffee table. A group of maidservants were waiting nearby.
"Sister, Xiang'er, what are you talking about?" Wu Nian asked curiously.
"We are talking about how to repay the gift. The school captain, chief historian, Sima, meritorious officials, etc. have all sent New Year gifts. We must return the gift as appropriate, and we cannot let others laugh at us."
Liu Xiang's little face was as wrinkled as a bun. She stretched out her little hand and rubbed her temples, complaining of a headache.
Wu Nian thought something had happened and said with a smile: "What's the trouble? They are either my subordinates or my brothers. Just be casual."
Liu Xiang rolled her eyes at Wu Nian, how could this be done?
"Brother, a red envelope for you." Wu smiled, took out a red envelope from her purse, and handed it to Wu Nian.
"Thank you, sister." Wu Nian immediately became serious, lowered his head and accepted it respectfully. The red envelope is very light, probably a copper coin.
This year is really peaceful. Wu Nian sat with Wu and Liu Xiang for a while, watching them rack their brains in order to return the gift.
Then he slipped away and went to see Wang Ruyan, Xiaohong, Chen, and their children. He also prepared a lot of red envelopes and gave them to people he saw.
Zhang Zhen, Li Ya, Lu Yanxun and the young people all participated.
After wandering around for a day, Wu Nian returned to Liu Xiang's room at night, hugged his wife's soft body, and fell asleep happily.
This is the life a time traveler should live.
Who said that I, Wu Nian, am fierce, cruel, and murderous without blinking an eye?
If it weren't for the invasion of the Mongolian Yuan people. I am a minor official in Liaodong. I have a wife and concubines. I don't have to worry about food or clothing. I have more than my superiors and less than my inferiors.
Don't let your life be too happy.
such a pity.
It's all the fault of the Meng Yuan people. If you don’t kill them, who will you kill?
As a hands-off shopkeeper, Wu Nian, the general who assisted the Han Dynasty, lived a very relaxed life when he was not fighting.
After the new year.
The nine major captains of Yingqing Mansion each moved to the designated defense areas.
Liu Zhixing and Li Yong recruited new soldiers and mobilized supplies to the school captain. The entire Yingqing Mansion's army is in training.
As time goes by, the weather gets warmer. The hard-working Han farmers are beginning to prepare for spring farming.
The faces of most people were filled with longing.
Although they now have to support an army of 65,000 people, their life is very hard.
But under Wu Nian's rule, no Meng Yuan people were superior to others, no Liaodong generals exploited the countryside, and no thieves were rampant.
Stable and safe.
They believe that as long as they follow Wu Nian, their lives will get better and better.
And in the Wu family. As the weather warms, the children gradually grow bigger. Going home to worship ancestors is also on the agenda.
March eighteenth.
The weather in Liaodong is still cold, but it is no longer freezing. Wu Nian took his whole family, escorted by soldiers from a thousand households, out of the south gate of Jiang County, and headed along the road to Beishan Fort.
Wu Nian rarely rode a horse, but sat in a large carriage with Liu Xiang and Wu Yu. They rocked as the carriage swayed, as if they were riding a boat.
"It's better to ride a horse." Wu Nian sighed and said.
"Brother, you're talking nonsense. Riding a car is much more comfortable than riding a horse." Liu Xiang rolled her eyes at Wu Nian, then covered her mouth with her little hand and started retching.
Wu Nian quickly took out pickled plums from his purse and gave them to her.
That's right. Liu Xiang is pregnant again.
Not only Liu Xiang. Wang Ruyan and Xiaohong are also pregnant.
no way. Wu Nian was young and strong, and there were no protective measures in this era. It is difficult for them not to get pregnant.
Because of Chen's health, she was afraid that it would be difficult to conceive another child.
"I didn't expect that the reaction would be greater the second time I got pregnant than the first time." Liu Xiang patted her chest first, and after feeling comfortable, she pinched a sour plum and put it in her mouth.
"It's really hard on you." Wu Nian said apologetically.
"I do." Liu Xiang rolled her eyes at Wu Nian and said happily.
To be able to spread the branches and leaves of the Wu family, seven or eight children are too few for her.
I will use my own efforts to make the Wu family prosperous.
snort.
The distance from Jiang County to Beishan Fort is not long. The team moved slowly, but arrived at Beishan Fort two days later.
Wu Nian once again returned to his loyal Beishan Fort.
