Wendeng County Yamen suddenly had two imperial wives, plus Zhang Yan, who was alluring to the country. It can be said that the county government was full of brilliance inside and outside.
However, Liu Zhaosun, as the person involved, did not feel the joy of being together. The three women made him exhausted mentally and physically.
Jin Yuji came to Shandong not only alone, but also brought her nine-month-old daughter. Seeing this, Yang Qing'er was not to be outdone and directly brought Zhang Yangu over.
Zhang Yan is only one year younger than Yang Qing'er and has just turned sixteen this year.
After Kang Yingqian was exiled to Liaodong, she chose to stay in the capital, and later lived in Yang's house. Yang Jinglue instructed Mrs. Gaoming to win over this girl as a strong support.
Although Yang Qing'er disdained these palace fighting tricks, seeing her husband's increasing favor towards Jin Yuji, she became more and more suspicious of the North Korean beauty's enchantment skills, so she had to team up with Zhang Yan to deal with the enchantress, hoping to win back the victory.
Zhang Yan is so smart, she can see the situation clearly at a glance. From her perspective, she has no other choice but to participate in this palace battle game.
She couldn't go back to that home in Henan. Her parents sold her for eight thousand taels of silver. From then on, she was no longer the daughter of the Zhang family.
At present, he has no one to rely on in the Kaiyuan system. He can only temporarily rely on Yang Qing'er, advance and retreat with the Yang family, and wait for the opportunity to take over.
Liu Zhaosun had never seen a palace fighting drama in his previous life and knew nothing about strange existences such as Zhen Huan. In addition, his main energy was now on dealing with the Japanese country, so he had no time to pay attention to the war between women.
In late September, typhoons occurred frequently in various parts of the Bohai and Liaohai seas. Sea transportation and Ghost of Tsushima were temporarily suspended, and military supplies transportation and landing exercises were transferred to land.
Marquis Pingliao summoned generals such as Xu Guangqi, Jin Nige, and Deng Changxiong to analyze the weaponry and tactical characteristics of each Japanese vassal one by one. After repeated studies, he made corresponding adjustments to the weapons and tactics of the landing soldiers. To put it simply, the equipment of fire guns, bows and arrows was added, and the thousand-man car formation was changed into a mandarin duck formation that was convenient for mountain combat. The use of the Divine Fire Flying Crow has also been changed from the original division and regiment level to distributed by each battalion.
In addition, Ping Liaohou also assembled veterans of the White Pole Soldiers and Wolf Soldiers, plus some Jianzhou Bagara, and formed a mountain infantry combat training team of 300 people to conduct assault training on 6,000 soldiers drawn from various armies. Adapted to the mountainous terrain of Kyushu. In wartime, this army will also serve as the sharp sword of the entire army and break through the enemy's formation head-on.
On October 5th, the corywei guards who sneaked into the mountains and forests of Tsushima Island sent back information that hundreds of Japanese red seal ships suddenly appeared east of Tsushima Island, just like Busan's rapid advance.
The Japanese fleet was mainly composed of samurai and ronin from Satsuma, Nagasaki, Kaga and other feudal lords, as well as some pirates, with a strength of about 8,000.
The war is about to break out.
Liu Zhaosun excused himself from being busy with military affairs, sent Jin Yuji and Yang Qing'er away, and summoned the woman alone.
Zhang Yan happily came to Ping Liao Hou's bed.
Liu Zhaosun got straight to the point and said that he should let her return to Henan as soon as possible to reunite with her parents, and that Kang Yinggan would not have to pay back the 8,000 taels of silver he spent on buying her.
Quan should be the money that Ping Liaohou borrowed from Kang Jianjun. Anyway, Liu Zhaosun had already borrowed a lot of money from them.
Zhang Yan refused to live or die after hearing this.
"If you, sir, despise my daughter's lowly family, I can just stay with you as a maid, and you will never leave your master even if you die."
Liu Zhaosun couldn't help but marveled, and looked up at Zhang Yan secretly.
Although Ping Liaohou was nicknamed "Wu Yanzu of Liaodong", he was not Wu Yanzu of the Ming Dynasty after all.
Nowadays, he is a very popular minister, and to be precise, he is the most powerful person in the Ming Dynasty. However, he still feels a little bit nervous when facing such a beautiful person like Zhang Yan.
He took a deep breath, looked at the bright white whale oil lamp above his head, and sighed:
"I was born in the army, and I am originally a servant. In terms of family status, I am not as good as Miss Zhang. How can I say that I dislike her?"
Zhang Yan's eyes moved and she listened to him quietly.
"It's just that there are too many police officers in the north and south, and the people are in dire straits. Take Japan as an example. There are still tens of millions of people living in fire and water, waiting for me to rescue them. I don't know how many years this war will last. I am busy with military affairs. In the future Out all the time..."
Liu Zhaosun sat in front of his desk, staring at the map of Japan on the wall, chattering to himself.
There was already a storm outside the window, and a bolt of thunder and lightning streaked across the night sky, reflecting the towering wall of the county government office.
The room was as bright as day, with two whale oil lamps burning quietly.
Unknowingly, it has been three or four years since I came to Daming.
Thinking about it carefully, it seems that his three views have been stuck in the past. Except for the compromises he had to make in the military and political aspects, he still adheres to the cautious attitude of his previous life when it comes to matters between men and women.
"Next will be Annan, and the north, the north of the north, and the wider world."
Liu Zhaosun pointed to the location of Sakhalin Island and continued, regardless of whether Zhang Yan could understand:
"You always ask me why I keep fighting. Why? I want to restore the homeland of the Han and Tang Dynasties, or to put it another way, I want things to be the way they were. Therefore, it may be my fate to be shrouded in horse leather. Has Mrs. Yang ever Did I tell you that I haven’t been home for half a year?”
"So, Miss Zhang, I don't want to delay your future any longer. You should be with the Carpenter Emperor at the moment, but because of my appearance, everything is messed up..."
Liu Zhaosun was still chattering. When he looked back, Zhang Yan was holding a glass of wine and handed it to him.
"Miss Zhang, I don't drink."
Zhang Yan pursed her lips and smiled, full of affection.
"Why can't a hero among the Marquis of Pingliao drink alcohol?"
Liu Zhaosun had no choice but to take the wine glass and drink it in one gulp.
Zhang Yan immediately filled another glass, looked out the window at the lonely night, and murmured:
"It has been raining for ten years, a glass of wine and a spring breeze of peach blossoms. I heard that the general and Mrs. Jin got married. A spring breeze of ten miles filled the sky with peach blossoms. I hate that my little girl was so young at that time..."
"Stop talking, I'll drink."
After having no choice but to drink a few glasses of wine, Liu Zhaosun also felt an uncontrollable joy in his heart.
At this time, the heavy rain outside the house became more and more intensive, and the rain beat on the ground, like thousands of troops galloping.
Liu Zhaosun was so drunk that he would get drunk after three drinks. Unexpectedly, he was forced to sit up just now, so he wanted to call the guards to come in and see off the guests.
Zhang Yan held her breath, raised her feet, walked up behind him gently, and blew out the whale oil lamp in front of him with one strong blow.
The light in the room suddenly dimmed, and Liu Zhaosun immediately turned his head.
The beauty with bright eyes and white teeth stood close before her eyes and said in a sweet voice:
"What is the future of wealth and honor, General Liu is the future."
Liu Zhaosun was slightly stunned. He didn't expect such explicit words to come out of Zhang Yan's mouth.
"My little daughter is different from the two ladies. I don't want any status. Being able to be with a hero like the general is enough to comfort me for the rest of my life."
Liu Zhaosun just shook his head after hearing this, and then smiled and said for a long time:
"You and I have only met once briefly in Kaiyuan, and the rest is just hearsay. How can you be so sure?"
In the past two years, the women from all over the country who have actively thrown themselves into their arms and are willing to serve as house-filling girls to enter the General Military Mansion, it is no exaggeration to say that they have been queued from Kaiyuan to Wendeng.
Zhang Yan lowered her slender hands from his eyes and pointed at the lamp on the wall.
"Just like the lamp in front of you, this whale oil has a long history. Tai Shigong wrote about the Mausoleum of the First Emperor of Qin in "Historical Records": "Mercury is used as the source of hundreds of rivers and seas, and the structure is instilled, with astronomy at the top and geography at the bottom. Use mermaid ointment as a candle to save those who are immortal for a long time. "My little girl thinks that mermaid ointment is whale oil. "Taiping Yulan" and "San Qin Ji" both have records of burning whale ointment as lamps..."
Liu Zhaosun said with great interest: "Miss Zhang is well-read, I admire her! I only read historical records, or was it to prepare for the college entrance examination... I wonder what you mean by this?"
Zhang Yan naturally didn't know what the college entrance examination was, so she didn't ask in detail, but continued:
"When my daughter left Liaodong this time, it happened that civil affairs officials from various places were setting up such whale oil lamps on the streets. Liaodong is short, just for the convenience of the people. I think it was a treasure used by the emperors of Qin and Han, but when it arrived in Kaiyuan, it became an ordinary utensil that benefited the people. It is true that the little girl is not as knowledgeable about military and state affairs as Mrs. Yang, and she cannot kill the enemy in battle like Mrs. Jin. She only has a one-time relationship with the general. However, from this one thing, we know that the general is a great hero, a great hero, and will achieve great achievements in the future. She must be better than Emperor Qin and Han Wu... This little girl has little talent and little knowledge. She said a few random words. General, don't laugh."
Liu Zhaosun opened his mouth wide and was speechless for a long time. He was shocked by Zhang Yanling's sharp teeth and marveled that this woman could be so eloquent. It seemed that the person who could become the Empress of the Ming Dynasty was not just a vase.
At this time, a thunder exploded over the county government office, like artillery roaring in the ears, and Zhang Yan got into Liu Zhaosun's arms.
Marquis Ping Liao was deeply impressed by this technique of teasing Han.
Looking at her tender face like marble and eyes like black crystal, I felt that I couldn't bear it anymore, so I stretched out two hands and pinched her arms.
