"Brother, I'm afraid this won't work! My identity as military advisor is kept secret. People from the Dahei family don't know about it at all, so how can they give me the eldest lady as my little wife? I think I'd better forget about it... ..."
When Zhuge Weidao said this, he felt a slight pain in his waist. Natalie and Queen Mother Zheng are both difficult to deal with, you can tell by looking at their figures! Sooner or later, Nalandili will join in. There is also a Li in the family, and now there is a big black one...
Zhuge Weixue glanced at his brother and said with a smile: "Second brother, although your identity as a military advisor should not be made public for the time being, the benefits it should bring, such as promotion and wealth, will not be missing from you! After two years, When you go to the Office of Naval Intelligence, you will be promoted to lieutenant colonel."
Can you really get promoted?
Zhuge Weidao was still a little skeptical, because no matter from every aspect, his mission was a success! Although he successfully won the Hongwu Emperor-level contract, the most important thing was messed up, and it also pushed Britain and Rakshasa together. The most outrageous thing is that he also brought home the woman who was going to be the empress of the Ming Dynasty.
Zhuge Weixue seemed to have noticed what was on his brother's mind, and immediately smiled and said: "Don't worry, everything has been arranged... You have taken care of the Zheng brothers and sisters who are the most difficult to deal with, and everything else is easy to deal with."
"But a lieutenant colonel is not that big," Zhuge Weidao shook his head and said, "The daughter of a big black chaebol is not that worthless, right? Can you treat me as a little girl?"
In addition to worrying that his body was unreliable, he actually had another worry: Grand Duchess Natalie!
There's a good chance she won't agree...but there's also a chance she'll be very happy!
But no matter which attitude he took, Zhuge Weidao didn't think it was a good thing.
Zhuge Weixue smiled and said: "Don't worry, the family will make arrangements... As long as you can get Natalie to agree, the young lady from the Dahei family will be yours sooner or later, and the dowry will probably be reduced by more than half."
Is the Zhuge family really so powerful?
Zhuge Weidao was still hesitating, and Zhuge Weixue said again: "Second brother, if you don't agree and force my mother to break off the engagement, and her stubborn temper gets angry, it will be troublesome. When our father was still alive, I’m afraid my little mom will lose her temper!”
"This, this, this..."
"Don't hesitate," Zhuge Weixue said with a smile, "I have seen that big black sky before, but she is a little beauty, with a baby face, very flattering, and that figure..."
It sounds great!
Zhuge Weidao was indeed a little moved...of course not because he was greedy for the stewardess's body, but because he was afraid of making his stepmother angry.
Zhuge is a filial son.
"If you agree, let's go talk to my little mom now," Zhuge Wei said, "If you keep coaxing my little mom, this matter may be over."
"Then, that's all it has to be!"
Zhuge Weidao had no choice but to agree. This is probably because fate is a peach blossom, and people are filial and can't help themselves, right? But how should this little mother be coaxed?
"Okay!" Zhuge Weixue said with a smile, "Then let's go together!"
The two brothers left the pavilion while they were talking. Then Zhuge Weidao came in front and Zhuge Weidao followed (Zhuge Weidao didn't know the way home), and they went together to Wolong Thatched Cottage where Guo's stepmother lived. When they arrived at the entrance of Wolong Thatched Cottage, Stepmother Guo was crying while holding Zhuge Youde's spiritual body in the thatched cottage.
"Master, please open your eyes and take a look. One of your two eldest sons is stupid and the other is stupid. Especially your second son, who is now fascinated by a Rakshasa demon and doesn't want the eldest daughter of the Dahei family... ...That old guy, Dahei Changshi (the head of the Dahei family has been called Changshi from generation to generation), is willing to give two million silver dollars!"
Zhuge Weixue glanced at his brother with a look of regret on his face. Two million!
At this time, a young man's voice came from inside: "Mom, please don't cry. It doesn't matter if the eldest brother and the second brother are stupid. You still have a child with me! I'm so smart... all the teachers in the school praise me." I am smart."
"Is this our brother's righteousness?" Zhuge Weidao asked in a low voice.
Zhuge Weixue nodded, "Yes, stepmother's darling, you must be nicer to him in the future." Then he said loudly: "Mother, I came with Daozi... Daozi knew he was wrong. Got it!"
"Then come in and talk!"
Stepmother Guo Rong's voice came from inside, and her tone became much gentler.
Zhuge Weixue glanced at the brothers beside him, then stepped back and walked in. Zhuge Weidao took a breath and followed in. After walking in, he discovered that this was a very simple but exquisitely decorated room, and the layout inside was like a Chinese-style living room. Stepmother Guo was sitting on a Taishi chair, still fuming, and there was a memorial tablet of Zhuge Youde on the coffee table next to her. Next to Guo, stood Guo Xiaobao and another little boy about seven or eight years old, who should be Zhuge Weidao's younger brother Zhuge Weiyi.
When Guo Rong saw her two stepsons coming in, she didn't lose her temper anymore. She just muttered: "For the sake of my second son's marriage to Miss Dahei, I used all the contacts I could use, and I spent all my money on it." My aunts and uncles have all asked for help... They all patted their chests and pledged themselves in front of Daheichang, what should I do now? Where can I put my face? "
"Mother, how old is Da Heikong this year?" Zhuge Weidao asked with an apologetic look.
"I'm sixteen..." Guo Rong said, "I will go to high school soon. A few days ago, someone even sent me a telegram asking whether I would go to high school in Japan or come to Beijing."
I'm still a high school student, really... I don't know if I can wear a miniskirt in school uniform? In addition, the legs cannot be too short!
"It's better to go to high school in Japan," Zhuge Wei said. "The second brother will soon go abroad to England with Lin Shangshu. When he comes back, he will go on board and become the captain of the cruiser... Then we can arrange for him to go If you serve in the Beiyang Fleet, you can often visit Japan."
Zhuge Weidao knew that the Beiyang Fleet his brother mentioned was not the fleet deployed in the Bohai Sea and the Yellow Sea. Instead, they are fleets deployed in the Sea of Japan, the Beiyang Sea (Sea of Okhotsk), and the North Pacific. There is also a naval base in Hokkaido, Japan!
This base was conveniently occupied by King Zhuge Wuchu when he sent troops to the Americas to seize Alaska... Back then, King Zhugewu Chu also provided weapons to the Anui people on Ezo Island (Hokkaido) to allow them to resist Japan. colonial ruling.
However, the resistance of the Anui people was later brutally suppressed by the samurai of the Tokugawa shogunate! But the Ming Dynasty did not gain everything. In order for the Ming Dynasty to give up its support for the Anui people, the Tokugawa shogunate agreed to give up its suzerainty over Ryukyu (at that time, Ryukyu professed its vassalage to the Ming Dynasty and Japan at the same time), and also established Kushiro, the only ice-free port on Ezo Island. The port and some of its surrounding land were ceded to the Ming Dynasty.
After the Ming Dynasty obtained Kushiro Port, it immediately invested heavily in its construction and built it into a large stronghold used by the Ming Dynasty to control northern Japan. At the same time, the Ming Dynasty also built a large military port at Naha Port in the Ryukyu Kingdom. This formed a layout of two major military ports, one in the south and one in the north, to "protect" Japan!
In addition to deploying military ports and fleets in the south and north of Japan to protect Japan, the Ming Dynasty also negotiated for the right of warships to visit ports to purchase supplies more than a hundred years ago when Japan was just reforming and founding the country.
In recent years, the Japanese's reform and founding of the country finally blossomed with the support of the British. The shogunate's navy became somewhat powerful and ready to move. Therefore, the iron-clad ships of the Beiyang Fleet of the Ming Navy have to go to Japanese ports every now and then to show off their power.
If Zhuge Weidao becomes the captain one day, he will naturally go to Japan to show off his power.
"What? Captain and Captain? So fast?" Guo Rong was obviously stunned by the "rocket rise" that Zhuge Weidao was about to start. "Boss, can the second brother have such an official fortune? Could it be that he won the position of military advisor?" Bit?"
"Mother, isn't this the second brother's meritorious service?" Zhuge Weixue said with a smile, "The second brother not only successfully brought the Grand Duchess Natalie back, but also negotiated a big deal with the Rakshasa people to transfer the warships. And...he also has other great achievements. Therefore, he has been appreciated by several veteran military advisors in the family, and he is ready to be promoted and reused."
"But he gave the Grand Duchess Natalie..." Guo Rong was about to say "put the Grand Duchess to sleep", but stopped abruptly when the words came to her lips, and just looked at Zhuge Weidao angrily.
"Mother, that's what the great military advisor meant," Zhuge Weidao said, and he completely passed the blame to Zhuge Weijiu, "He also asked me to marry Grand Duchess Natalie to Ming Media... "
"What? Is the Grand Military Advisor crazy?" Guo Rong looked in disbelief.
"Mother," Zhuge Weixue didn't expect that his brother would pass the blame to Zhuge Weijiu, but he had no choice but to bite the bullet and speak for his brother, "This is indeed what the military advisor meant. Maybe the military advisor has other plans? "
Zhuge Weidao nodded quickly: "Yes, that Miss Da Heikong, why not let her be a side room!"
"Being a concubine?" Guo Rong looked at her handsome stepson, "Is it possible? It's impossible for Daheichang to agree!"
Zhuge Weidao smiled and said: "The great military advisor will make him agree! The great military advisor said that the Japanese girl is only worthy of being a little wife. If you don't believe me, you can ask the great military advisor himself."
