My Chinese ancestors

Chapter 455 Qi Shaobao

Japanese pirates must be guarded against. After all, the Ming Dynasty was not sure, and now, he may not be able to block all Japanese pirate attacks.

However, the most important thing is the people who communicate with the Japanese. If the other party loses its spy and loses control of the Wuzhou navy, the entire strategy will not be in a passive state.

"Many aristocratic families in Wuzhou were on the run in those days. They have behaved themselves in the past few years. I never thought they would do this to me secretly."

Su Chen took Dian Wei and Xu Chu out of the imperial study room in the middle palace and headed towards the ancestral temple in the north. In the distance, a plump figure wearing a dark purple pomegranate skirt and a light green gauze scarf with double breasts and wide sleeves came swaying. , she wore a jade hairpin on her head and was holding Su Chen in her hand.

The little man was the first to see Su Chen's figure. He let go of Yang Yuhuan's hand, ran over with a smile, hugged Su Chen's legs: "Father, give me a hug!"

"Why are you with your aunt today?" Su Chen held the little man in his arms, teased his son a few times, and looked at the opposite side. Yang Yuhuan smiled slightly at the corner of his lips, bowed slightly and bowed to Su Chenfu.

"I have met His Majesty!"

Since Fang Xuejun became the queen and seldom went out, Yang Yuhuan rarely left the palace. He often gave her things that he once had in the palace. At the same time, Yang Yuhuan also regarded Su Chen as his nephew, and occasionally After all, she was only thirty-seven when she died, and she had no children. She treated Su Chen, whom she had grown up with, as her own.

"Auntie, are you taking Chen'er to play?" Su Chen smiled and put his son on the ground, but saw Yang Yuhuan asking the maid behind him to bring a bowl of soup, and said softly: "This is Duozi soup, you and me Mr. Xue has too few children, give birth to a few more, and then you can let them get more girls in the future."

People who live in this world would not dare to say this, and the Chinese civil and military officials are embarrassed to say this, but when it comes from Yang Yuhuan's mouth, it will not make people feel out of place.

"What's the point?"

Su Chen has always respected Yang Yuhuan. Although she is beautiful, she has never had other evil thoughts. After asking casually, he drank the soup that was handed to him.

Anyway, I don’t know if this thing is useful, but most of them will be sucked clean by their own terrifying internal power.

"You worry about national affairs and are very smart about how to fight other countries. How come you don't think about things in the harem? Lord Xue will give birth to a few more princes, and those born from Yue girls will not be able to get their turn according to the order of succession. The children under her knees, do you understand?"

"understand!"

Su Chen reacted and smiled awkwardly. He returned the soup bowl to Yang Yuhuan and patted the son next to him on his little head: "Play well with your aunt, don't be naughty, you know?"

"Well, Chen'er will be very good!" Su Chen nodded obediently, walked back to Yang Yuhuan, and watched his father lead Uncle Dian and Uncle Xu away.

Immediately, he turned his little head and looked at Yang Yuhuan.

"Auntie, what is my father busy with every day?"

"It's a national matter."

Yang Yuhuan took the little man's hand and continued to move forward. Naturally, the little man didn't understand the general truth, so he simply said: "There are still people outside, many, many people. They need to have food, clothing, houses, and care for their fathers." The emperor is busy with this, if he relaxes, many people will starve and freeze."

Su Chen blinked his eyes and pecked his little head half-understanding.

……

On the other side, Su Chen came to the ancestral temple, greeted the leisurely emperors outside, and went straight into the ancestral temple. He was surprised to see Xun Yu here, talking to Cao Cao.

In the past few years, they had been getting along day and night, and Cao Cao was a man of great charm. The grievances between the kings of Jin and Wei gradually dissipated in Xun Yu's heart.

"You guys talk, I'll find someone!"

Su Chen raised his hand to interrupt. Xun Yu wanted to come over to greet him, so he said hello to Li Tiangang and strode into the side courtyard. There were several wing rooms here. They were not where Zhu Yuanzhang and Queen Ma lived, but were attached to the ancestral temple. small courtyard.

Coming to a door, Su Chen knocked on the door.

"Ming Shizong."

Through the crack in the door, you can smell the smell of medicine oozing out from inside. Needless to say, he is refining elixirs again. The emperor inside is none other than Ming Shizong Zhu Houcong, one of the emperors Su Chen selected in the past three years, also the famous emperor who cultivated immortals.

Because of this incident, Li Shimin did not laugh at Major General Zhu Yuanzhang, saying that he was the emperor of the Ming Dynasty who was very weird.

If Empress Ma hadn't been there to comfort him, Zhu Yuanzhang would have smashed Zhu Houcong's spiritual tablet directly. After that, he asked the Jiajing Emperor to roll into the room and was not allowed to come out, and even threw the spiritual tablet in.

Emperor Jiajing was not angry but happy. He took his spiritual tablet and hid in his room. Soon, he got together with Liu Xie and asked him for help in finding medicinal herbs and refining elixirs.

As a result, Liu Che, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and Li Shimin, Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, were also attracted. A group of emperors who longed for immortality often gathered in the wing room, not knowing what to do.

After a moment, the door squeaked open, and smoke was swirling inside. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, Emperor Shizong of the Ming Dynasty, and Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty were surrounding the three-legged alchemy furnace. They closed their eyes and raised their faces, greedily inhaling the smoke.

"I've already died once, but I still have this thought."

The corner of Su Chen's mouth twitched. Seeing the scene in front of him, he couldn't help but think of a saying from later generations: gathering a crowd to smoke.

"That... Ming Shizong... please give me Qi Shaobao's token..."

"It's been prepared for you. Take it. Don't tell anyone what's going on here, especially our ancestors!" Emperor Jiajing was not distracted. He was afraid that the other three emperors would inhale too much, so he quickly took out a sign and threw it to Su Chen. I forgot to tell him to close the door later.

"Know!"

Su Chen shook his head helplessly, not rejecting the fact that emperors wanted to live forever. After all, no one had any preferences during his lifetime. It was just a bit of a waste of government, but they were already dead and there was no need for them to govern the world. Therefore, Su Chen was interested in Don't even bother asking.

Even if the formula is wrong, what else can be harmed if the soul is gone?

At most, he is like Tang Minghuang Li Longji, flying everywhere like a balloon. After closing the door and isolating the scene inside, Su Chen weighed the token in his hand and immediately injected 10,000 merit points. The moment he walked out of the eaves, a plume of green smoke suddenly rose in the small courtyard.

As the smoke dispersed, a figure slowly solidified and stumbled out. It was a thin-cheeked man with gray beard and hair, and a wrinkled face full of frustration. He was wearing shabby and worn-out clothes. , his eyes were a little cloudy.

"Is this the underworld?"

The old man waved his robe sleeves weakly, fanning away the smoke around him, and his eyes fell on Su Chen, as well as Dian Wei and Xu Chu behind Su Chen. Seeing these two people, he misunderstood for a moment and murmured: " Haha, I am a frustrated person who has been dismissed from office, but I never expected that I could take the trouble to come up in person."

Dian Wei raised his elbow and nudged Xu Chu, and laughed softly: "Are you going to be a bull's head or a horse's face?"

"Inappropriate!" Xu Chu responded in a muffled voice.

As they spoke, Su Chen, who was in front of the two of them, walked towards the old man opposite, held up his sleeves and raised his hands: "General Qi, you are not dead now."

"not dead?"

The old man was stunned for a moment, then he opened his palms and squeezed them, with an even more astonished expression on his face, "Remember... I was sick... and died in bed... did you save me?"

Seeing Su Chen nodding, the old man was about to continue asking when he heard Emperor Jiajing's voice coming from the house behind him through the door and window.

"As long as you're not dead, hurry up and fight the Japanese pirates. Don't wait outside the door!"

"This is...Emperor Sejong?"

The old man could hear the owner of this voice, and couldn't help but feel a little moved on his face. He was about to go to the door to pay homage, but Su Chen grabbed his hand and dragged him out, "Don't disturb your Shizong's cultivation, come here." , follow me, there are Japanese pirates waiting for Shaobao outside."

The old man who was suddenly caught and dragged away, still trying to struggle, heard the word 'Japanese pirate', and his cloudy eyes suddenly shone with a glint of light, or a look of hatred.

"Japanese pirates?"

"It's Japanese pirates. It's more serious than the Japanese pirates that Qi Shaobao eliminated."

This is not Su Chen's deliberate exaggeration. After all, the Japanese on the island are now led by famous generals from the past dynasties of the island country. They are definitely more difficult to deal with than the six countries in the world, especially at sea.

The two of them walked out of the ancestral temple. Along the way, Su Chen told him one by one about the world. The old man listened carefully and saw many figures wearing imperial clothes passing by to say hello to Su Chen.

He couldn't help but not believe it.

"Since we are fighting Japanese pirates, I have a duty, but Your Majesty must delegate power to me!"

Perhaps because he was worried about repeating the same mistakes, the old man took the next step and asked Su Chen to boldly delegate power to him without doubting him.

"Don't worry about this. The generals I appointed are all leading one army or even two armies. I have never doubted them. They are all Chinese people. I am not that petty."

With Su Chen's guarantee, the old man felt at ease. He asked Su Chen for a nautical chart and information about Japanese pirates, and then asked Su Chen to arrange a room for him to study carefully.

After all, when he first came here, it was different from the original world, geographical environment, and sea environment. He wanted to analyze the strength of the Japanese pirates here in detail and study whether the Japanese's fighting style was the same as before. Only in this way can he make more effective prevention, and Fight back.

On the afternoon of the second day, Su Chen, who was dealing with government affairs, heard the eunuch coming to report that Qi Jiguang was outside asking for an audience.

Summoning the other party into the study, the old man made some requests to Su Chen.

"The coast is thousands of miles away. The Japanese have tasted the sweetness of landing on the coast for the first time, and they will inevitably launch harassment on other coasts. Your Majesty built a beacon tower before, but the effect was not obvious. After all, the Japanese are not blind. After seeing the beacon tower, they will not I will choose to log in here.”

Su Chen nodded, not feeling unhappy with the tone of his words, "What does Shaobao mean?"

"Rather than moving people away from their homes, it is better to organize training for young people along the coast. Each village will be connected with information. In order to protect their hometown, the young people recruited will definitely stick to the coast and compete with the Japanese."

“How many people are needed to ensure the safety of young people?”

"The coastline from Feiyungang in Yanzhou to Wuzhou and Yuezhou is all under my jurisdiction! I wonder if your majesty can agree!"

"Why don't you allow it? I wish you could handle it!"

Su Chen was laughing so hard that he couldn't close his mouth. He thought that this famous anti-Japanese general who was respected by later generations would ask him to speak loudly. He didn't expect that it would be such a request. It would just push the Japanese pirates out of the way, and he would be able to relax a lot.

"Then it's settled, I will hand over all the coastal defense lines of Xia Kingdom to Shaobao!"

"Veteran Qi Jiguang takes the order!"

The old man bowed to Su Chen, and then left with Wu Zixun, who took him to his residence. In the next few days, Qi Jiguang recovered his health and then rushed to Feiyungang overnight to take over the defense line.

The second day of March.

Wuzhou Shengkang.

The spies of the Embroidered Clothes Department have spread out to investigate the matter of treason with the Japanese.
