1635 Han style rises again

Chapter 500 Throbbing ([-])

"The Princess Zhancheng has been in Hanzhou for more than two months. Are you going to wait until the new palace is completed before bringing her into the palace?" Luo Yuru looked at Qitian with a smile.

"It's okay, she's still young, she can wait for the palace to be completed before entering the palace." Qi Tian replied with a smile.

"You still young?" Luo Yuru was stunned for a moment, and then she said angrily: "He is already 16 years old, which is the right age for marriage, and he is also the princess of the Champa Kingdom, who gave a piece of land as a dowry. Don't be slow to others!"

Hearing this, Qi Tian couldn't help but carefully looked at his queen to determine whether she was sarcastic or not.However, when he saw her serious expression, he knew that she was not angry with him, and he relaxed a little.

"Could it be that you want to wait for Daming's defeat to bring another Daming Princess back from Beijing?" Before Qi Tian could say anything, Luo Yuru said another sentence abruptly.

Although she knew that her husband was the king of the Daqi Kingdom, it was impossible for her to be the only queen in the harem, but when the Champa Kingdom actually sent a princess, Luo Yuru still felt a little uncomfortable psychologically.Perhaps, in the future, princesses from other Tubang kingdoms will be sent to Hanzhou to make peace with Qi.

Originally, it belonged to my husband alone, but later, many women came to share with me.As proud as she is, how can she be willing in her heart?

Therefore, since Princess Zhancheng arrived in Jianye City in January, she has been feeling angry and unhappy, and occasionally said some sarcastic words to Qi Tian.But after all, the two have been acquainted to get married for several years, and their relationship is deep, so it is not possible to turn their faces and colden their relationship because of this.

However, a few days ago, his mother Luo Wang heard that her daughter was troubled, and immediately came to the palace to persuade her. From the three cardinal guides and five constant rules to women's admonitions, from Confucianism and ethics to Cheng Zhu Neo Confucianism, she said that women's status is inherently low, and they are men's vassals.For example, "The Book of Songs": "When you give birth to a man, you will bear the glory of the Nong. If you give birth to a woman, you will bear the tile of Nong."

What's more, in the territory of Ming Dynasty, anyone with a little wealth or official status would take concubines and maidservants. Among the scholars, there were countless public sex with prostitutes.Qi Tian is the lord of Hanzhou, the king of Da Qi, and now he is just the princess of a small country in Nayibang. As a queen, why is this so!If outsiders know about it, wouldn't it bear the name of "envious"?
Luo Yuru heard her mother's words of persuasion, and suddenly felt that she had lost her temper and was a little spoiled.Thinking about the way Qi Tian treated himself with care in the past month or so, he must have a bit of guilt.Qi Tian's marriage to Princess Zhancheng allowed Qi State to obtain a strategically important area.

Therefore, seeing Qi Tian today, Luo Yuru suggested that he should bring Princess Champa into the palace as soon as possible so that the two families could get married.But while speaking, he accidentally revealed his emotions and mentioned the matter of Princess Daming.

"The Ming Dynasty was defeated, and the city of Beijing was destroyed. I am afraid that the concubines and princesses in the Forbidden City will not survive." Qi Tian couldn't help thinking of the poor one-armed princess in a certain literary work in later generations, lonely and miserable.Of course, that was a literary description. Perhaps under the actual situation of the collapse of the Ming Dynasty, the fate of many women in the palace might be even more miserable.

"Then can we send someone to rescue them all?" Luo Yuru asked carefully.

"It can't be saved." Qi Tian sighed: "The emperor guards the gate of the country, and the king dies in the country, so many people are needed to be buried with him. Those concubines, princesses, and countless Ming people are all funeral objects."

"Prosperity, the people are suffering; death, the people are suffering!" Luo Yuru said in a low voice, "How innocent are the common people, how innocent are the women!"

"So, we sent almost the largest force in the country to the vicinity of Daming, hoping to rescue more people."

"Will our people be in danger if they go to Daming?"

"As long as you don't go deep into the territory of Ming Dynasty and only stay in the coastal area, it should be fine. But if you want to experience war, some losses are inevitable."

Luo Yuru was stunned for a moment when she heard the words, but she thought of her two younger brothers who were going to Daming.

The second brother, Luo Shoushao, was in the navy, and with the power of Qi's ships, he should not encounter opponents in the Daming sea area, and the danger was relatively small.But the third brother, Luo Shouzhang, was in the Marine Corps. If he landed on the coast of Daming and encountered Jiannu or bandits, wouldn't his life be in danger?

---------

"I don't know if we will be stationed near Daming. If we are stationed on Hanxing Island or Changshan Island, we may have the opportunity to meet Jiannu in Liaodong. If so, I really want to compete with them! "

In the evening, in a tavern in Songcheng (Catherine City, northern Australia), a group of Marine Corps officers gathered around a table, eating meat and drinking wine.Because they are about to be deployed overseas, all Marine Corps officers and soldiers have taken turns to take vacations to spend the last time with family and friends.If he returns to the mainland of Hanzhou again (if he can come back alive), it may take two or three years.

Luo Shouzhang drank the honey wine in the cup in one gulp, then wiped his mouth, and said loudly: "Jiannu bullied me Han people and insulted my Chinese civilization. If we arrive in Ming Dynasty, we will definitely kill all these barbarians and show our respect." The style of the Han family!"

"Well said!" A Marine Corps officer stood up, slapped his hands and said: "The barbarians, the natives, and the Western barbarians are all enemies of my Han family! I am a Daqi man, Wield a three-foot sword to kill this generation, and expand a wider living space for our Han family!"

"Damn it, you people who have studied speak so elegantly, and you are so fucking righteous!" A stout Marine Corps officer grinned and said: "If you want me to say, the king's sword pointed, we Just rush up. First use the artillery to bombard his mother, and then hold the bayonet, stabbing the enemies facing me to the ground one by one. Come, so that we can win all the victories overseas, in Daming, Let’s make another cup for us all to come back alive in the future!”

"Wansheng!... It's done!" All the officers shouted loudly and drank their glasses in one gulp.

"Change wine, change wine!" The stout Marine Corps officer smacked his mouth and said loudly: "This honey wine is too boring to drink, let's drink soju! That's what men in our army should drink! "

"Don't get drunk! Otherwise, it won't look good to go out!" An officer said worriedly.If a group of drunken Marine Corps officers lay down on the street and were caught by the military police, they would have to be locked up in a dark room for a day.

"I'm so afraid! Let's keep a sober one...Xiao Luozi, it's you. You are the youngest, and you are allowed to drink honey wine. If we drink too much in a while, you have to find someone to take us away." Carry it back." The burly officer pointed at Luo Shouzhang and said.

"Old Ren, who do you look down on!" Luo Shouzhang immediately became unhappy when he heard the words, and threw the honey wine beside him aside, raised his hand to bring over the sorghum shochu on the table, and filled his glass, "Although I You are young, but you are also an imposing man! Don't underestimate me!"

"Who dares to underestimate you!" Ren Maoyong said: "I know that when you were practicing in the army, you performed excellently in all kinds of drills, and you have always killed the natives on Weiyuan Island, Timor Island and the interior of Hanzhou. Fighting to be the first. I'm just afraid that you might get drunk and miss returning to Jianye City tomorrow to visit relatives."

"Brother sitting here, I'm not the only one returning home to visit relatives." Luo Shouzhang said with a smile: "I was drunk and returned to Jianye City tomorrow, so I just fell asleep in the carriage for two days."

"They're all good men!...Drink together!" Ren Maoyong didn't repeat any more, he held the wine jar, and poured wine one by one with the Marine Corps officers sitting there, then raised his glass and said loudly: "Brothers, This time we are stationed overseas, I wish everyone can make great achievements, be promoted and be rewarded. Of course, the most important thing is that everyone will come back alive, and then we will talk about our love!"

A seven or eight-year-old boy, while helping his father to clean up the dishes on the dining table, looked towards the direction of the Marine Corps officers. He was wearing a blue-black military uniform, short riding boots, a tight-fitting armed belt, and a short knife on his waist. , looking at it makes people feel envious.

"Father, I will also join the Marine Corps in the future!" The boy turned his head and said to his father on the counter.

"Don't think about it!" The tavern manager said with a stern face, "Being a soldier will kill you! You have to study well in the school, and you will have a great future in the future!"

"I'm not afraid of death!" The boy raised his head and said, "Only wearing that majestic military uniform can make a big difference."

"You're talking nonsense!" the tavern manager reprimanded, "You have to study well and become an official in the county in the future, then you will be really promising!"

"But the officials in the county are not as majestic as the military officers..." The boy continued to look at the table of marine officers with admiration in his expression.

And in a corner of the tavern, two men who looked like merchants were eating wine and vegetables while looking at the table of marine officers from time to time.

"Why do I feel that our country of Qi is going to war again?" Zhu Bingkun said softly.

"Which year did our Qi State not fight!" Bao Dajin said with a smile: "Dimor Island, Weiyuan Island, the eastern part of Hanzhou, the wasteland hundreds of kilometers south of Song City, aren't our Qi State's army fighting everywhere?" Kill the natives."

"Hey, fighting the natives is also called fighting?" Zhu Bingkun sneered, "I think our country of Qi seems to be going to fight a big war. Did you know that the people in Kaiyuan City (now Humpty Doo, Australia) A few days ago, the leather factory placed an order for [-] pieces of crocodile skins for me, with a deadline of one month for delivery. In the past, there has never been such a large demand."

"Really?" Bao Dajin said: "This is a good thing! A few days ago, I also received an order from the military government for the first time, requesting to provide [-] cans within a month. Is there something wrong that caused the military to place an order with us in Song City? If there is a real big war, the demand will not be small....Who are you going to fight? The Dutch red-haired ghost?"

"Probably not. It has never been heard that we have any trouble with the Dutch."

"If you don't fight the Dutch red-haired ghost, then in this Nanyang region, which other force is worthy of our Qi State's big fight?"

"Maybe it's a small country in the Nanyang region that doesn't know how to live or die."

"Speaking of which, this war can actually drive the production of our factory." Bao Dajin said with a smile: "To put it bluntly, in order for us to earn more money, this war really shouldn't continue. "

"If we keep winning battles, it's easy to say. If we lose, maybe there will be disasters. How long is the foundation of our Qi country, but we can't stand the consumption!" Zhu Bingkun frowned and said: "Back then , Daming is so powerful, let’s look at it now, what kind of situation is it?”

"How can our country of Qi compare with Ming Dynasty?" Bao Dajin shook his head and said, "Qi is the only country that owns the continent of Hanzhou, and there are no strong enemies in the interior. They are all stupid natives. If strong enemies from outside want to attack, they will all cross The sea is far away, and the coastal areas of our Qi State are densely packed with fortresses and artillery, so we must not take advantage of foreign enemies. From my point of view, as long as our Qi State itself has no internal strife, there will be no worries about foreign aggression."

"Well, there is some truth." Zhu Bingkun nodded in agreement, "I just hope that our Daqi will continue to rise like a red sun, and the country will flourish."
