The most reckless man in the Ming Dynasty.

Chapter 304: The Eldest Son Tang Tuo

After leaving the palace, Tang Hao went straight back home.

When I returned home after more than a year, I found that the feeling was completely different.

In the past, Tang Hao was just a rootless duckweed in the Ming Dynasty. He didn't know where he should go, nor did he know whether what he was doing had any meaning.

He just didn't want to see the last Han Dynasty slowly fall into the abyss as it had happened in history.

Therefore, Tang Hao chose to assist Zhu Houzhao and work hard to change the fate of the Ming Dynasty, even though he killed many people and became the Marquis of Zhongshan who was hated by the gentry!
Until now, Tang Hao felt a sense of closeness, which came from the power of blood.

He sent away the maids and servants who came to pay their respects, then tiptoed into the backyard and came to the couple's room.

As soon as he reached the door of the room, Tang Hao heard silver bell-like laughter coming from inside. It was obviously his wife Zhang Jingshu teasing the baby.

Tang Hao suppressed his anxiety and excitement, calmed his mind, and slowly pushed open the door.

Zhang Jingshu looked up subconsciously, and when she saw the familiar tall figure, tears instantly flowed down her face.

"Husband?!"

Hearing the surprised voice, Tang Hao strode forward and stopped his wife who was about to get up.

"Shu'er, don't get up. You still need to rest well."

Tang Hao soothed him gently and began to apologize.

"I'm sorry, I'm really sorry!"

"I thought October would be enough time for me to come back, but I didn't expect..."

Zhang Jingshu looked at her husband with tears in her eyes, then stood up and buried herself in his arms.

Feeling this broad and solid chest again, Zhang Jingshu suddenly felt extremely at ease.

"Husband, don't apologize, I just hope you can come back safely, really, I just hope you can come back safely!"

Due to the experience of being bullied by her elder sister since childhood, and her father Zhang Lun's indifference, Zhang Jingshu longs for the company of her family.

Compared to the fact that Tang Hao came back so late, she was more concerned about Tang Hao's safety.

After all, my husband is leading the army to conquer Japan. This is a war to annihilate a country, so it is not an easy thing to do.

Swords and knives are ruthless on the battlefield, and countless famous generals and heroes have died under stray arrows. Compared with the dangers her husband faces at all times, Zhang Jingshu really doesn't think that her own suffering is nothing.

Hearing her caring words, Tang Hao was deeply moved and hugged his wife, expressing his longing for her.

The couple hugged each other tightly, enjoying this rare quiet moment.

Until the new member of the family found that no one cared about him, the little guy became a little unhappy. Without even opening his eyes, his little mouth suddenly pouted, and then he burst into tears, making a loud cry.

When her son started crying, Zhang Jingshu, the mother, immediately pushed her husband away and subconsciously picked up her son to comfort him.

Tang Hao couldn't stop laughing when he saw this. The little guy's cry was very loud and confident, which meant that he was very healthy. At least there was no need to worry about any congenital diseases.

Although half of his ears were buzzing from the little guy's crying, Tang Hao was smiling with joy from ear to ear.

After all, this is his first child in two lifetimes, and also his first bloodline in this world.

"Good boy, you are worthy of being my son, Tang Hao. Just by the sound of his crying, I know he will definitely be a great general in the future!"

Zhang Jingshu gave birth to the eldest son, which meant that the Marquis of Zhongshan would have successors. Unless there were any accidents, the Tang family, a military family, would continue to be passed down. Tang Hao single-handedly brought this increasingly declining military family back to its peak.

As Tang Hao's eldest son, the little guy would naturally inherit Tang Hao's mantle.

Moreover, Tang Hao did not want his son to be like Zhang Lun, the second generation of a noble family, an uneducated, dissolute good-for-nothing who only knew how to eat, drink, have fun and play with women.

Basic training is still necessary.

Zhang Jingshu couldn't help but complain when she heard this: "How can you tell whether a general is a tiger or not just by listening to his voice?"

"I hope that this child will not be so outstanding in the future, and just live a peaceful life as an ordinary person, without having to fight on the battlefield..."

Every mother hopes that her children can live a peaceful life. Whether or not they can become rich is not what they care about. Zhang Jingshu is no exception.

Upon hearing this, Tang Hao did not argue, but looked at his son with joy on his face.

"Okay, okay, whatever the madam says is right!"

Hearing this, Zhang Jingshu glared at Tang Hao in reproach.

This husband is really very good to her.

"Husband, do you want to hold the child?"

After these words were spoken, the lawless Marquis Zhongshan became frightened for the first time in his life.

He subconsciously stretched out his hand, but before Zhang Jingshu handed her son over, he subconsciously retracted his hand.

Seeing Zhang Jingshu's puzzled expression, Tang Hao smiled awkwardly and said, "I'm just a rough guy, and I'm too strong. I'm afraid... I might hurt the child!"

This is indeed true.

Tang Hao's strength is still growing every day!
Now he himself doesn't know how strong he is.

The last time when he threatened Zhu Houzhao not to rob the women, that seemingly powerful punch directly smashed a hole in the city wall. In fact, Tang Hao did not use his full strength at all, and only used 50% of his strength.

When you have too much strength, you may feel distressed.

Zhang Jingshu frowned and said soothingly, "What nonsense are you talking about, my husband? How can a father hurt his son?"

"Besides, my husband will have many children in the future. Are you planning to have only this one?"

Tang Hao also smiled when he heard this. Without saying anything more, he carefully reached out his hand and took his baby son from his wife.

Looking at his cautious look, Zhang Jingshu couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Tang Hao observed this blood relative carefully, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise.

The weight of 2.5 pounds was perfect. He held the baby in his hands and didn't dare to use any force, or even make any other movements. He just looked at the new member of the family seriously.

The little guy has a bit of a rebellious nature, and even when wrapped in the swaddle his hands and feet are still struggling and moving restlessly, as if he doesn't want to be restrained in the slightest.

His small eyes were tightly closed, his brows were deeply furrowed, and his unhappy expression was exactly like Tang Hao's.

Especially the little fist stretched out of the cradle, waving from time to time, revealing a strong sense of lawlessness and unruliness.

Tang Hao was getting happier and happier as he watched. He couldn't help but smile and joked, "It's obvious that this child is restless. I'll have to trouble Madam to take care of him in the future."

Zhang Jingshu spat unhappily: "My son is very well behaved."

Looking at Zhang Jingshu, who was shining with maternal love, Tang Hao was too lazy to argue with her.

After holding the child for a while, the little guy became unhappy again. His little mouth pouted again, and then he burst into tears. Seeing this, Tang Hao was so scared that he quickly handed the child to Zhang Jingshu.

As a result, as soon as the latter took the baby, the little guy stopped crying and making a fuss, and was obviously closer to his mother.

"Husband, look, the child is smiling, smiling!" Zhang Jingshu said happily.

Tang Hao came closer, and when the baby saw his face, the smile that had just appeared disappeared immediately. The baby looked at him seriously, with that unhappy look again.

Seeing this, Tang Hao suddenly laughed angrily: "Something is wrong, this little guy was my creditor in my previous life, and he came to me to collect the debt in this life!"

As soon as he said this, the little guy waved his fists a few times.

Tang Hao didn't know whether to laugh or cry when seeing this, and pretended to be angry and "taught" his son a few words. Zhang Jingshu was amused by his childish appearance and couldn't stop laughing. The little guy also smiled again in the cradle. The picture of the family of three was extremely warm at this moment.

Zhang Jingshu giggled and said, "Husband, it's time to give the child a name."

This is a troublesome matter.

In fact, according to the general patriarchal etiquette, naming a child is the privilege of the elders in the family.

However, Tang Hao's nominal father and grandfather had died on the battlefield long ago, so naturally no one was more qualified than him.

But Tang Hao shook his head and said with a smile: "Second uncle is the elder of the family, and since I was conferred the title of marquis, all the affairs of the mansion have been taken care of by Second uncle alone, and he has given me a lot of support and help, so the troublesome matter of naming should be left to Second uncle to worry about!"

Zhang Jingshu had no objection to this, as she also had great respect for her second uncle Tang Yu.

You know, after she gave birth to the child, everyone was more concerned about the child. Even her grandfather Zhang Mao was concerned about whether she gave birth to a boy or a girl. Only her second uncle asked about her situation at the first time. Zhang Jingshu has always kept this kindness in her heart.

The couple smiled at each other and continued to tease their baby son.

After a while of playing around, Zhang Jingshu took the initiative to say, "My dear, I can't accompany you these days. Why don't you take Zhuier back? And the little fairy Guli can also serve you!"

Guli is the stunning Hu girl who was given to her by Ning Wang Zhu Chenhao.

When Tang Hao heard these words, he was stunned.

He was a little uncomfortable with his wife's caring attitude and could only sigh at the evil feudal society.

"Why? Aren't you afraid that I will only favor them?"

Zhang Jingshu rolled her eyes at him and said, "The most important thing is to have children. I am already very satisfied to have given birth to this son for my husband. There is no need for me to continue to be the only one favored by my husband."

"Zhui'er came with me as a dowry. She has been with me since she was young. I don't want her to marry a servant in the future. It would be better for you to take her in as a concubine." "As for Guli, I have asked her in detail. She is also a pitiful person. She was sold to the Ming Dynasty when she was young, and then she was trained to please men... If you don't take her in, I think her future life will be miserable."

Facts have proved that Zhang Jingshu, the wife of Marquis Zhongshan, has gradually demonstrated her bearing and majesty as the mistress of the house.

Tang Hao couldn't help but step forward and hug his wife and son in his arms, and the family of three quietly felt the warmth.

"Madam is so understanding. I feel a little embarrassed!"

"That's enough. You're lucky. If you weren't so..."

The beauty's face flushed, but she didn't say anything explicit in the end.

Tang Hao couldn't help but burst into laughter, which made the little one cry again. The couple was in a panic, and their life became more colorful.

That night, Tang Hao fell asleep peacefully holding his wife in his arms, and did not favor Zhuier and Guli.

He is not a beast or a creature who thinks with his lower body. What his wife Zhang Jingshu has done for him is worthy of Tang Hao's respect.

The next morning.

The Zhongshan Marquis Mansion was extremely lively.

The Marquis of Zhongshan had a new son, which was a really big deal.

According to the patriarchal system of the Ming Dynasty, the eldest son has a very important position in a wealthy family. According to the rules, unless there are unexpected circumstances, the eldest son is destined to be the only candidate to inherit the family business, including the royal family. This is the system of primogeniture inheritance.

Of course, the situation of the Ming royal family is a bit special. Zhu Yunwen, Zhu Di, Zhu Qiyu and Zhu Youtang are not the eldest sons. But who can blame the Zhu family for being so troublesome? Add to that the intrigues of the concubines in the harem, and it would be strange for the royal family to strictly follow the system of primogeniture.

In fact, all the forces in the capital had already expressed their congratulations. On the day after Zhang Jingshu gave birth to her child, the Zhongshan Marquis' Mansion received congratulatory gifts from the powerful and influential people from all forces.

Of course, since Marquis Zhongshan was not at home, these powerful forces also understood the etiquette, so they did not visit him in person, but simply prepared a generous gift and sent it to his house.

Now, not only has Lord Zhongshan returned, but he has also returned victoriously with the achievement of destroying a country, causing the capital to be shaken and the whole world to boil. Therefore, all forces on all sides are ready to make a move and want to make friends with this new noble in the court!

Besides, that involves things related to Japan.

Japan was conquered, but how to develop it subsequently and how to divide this piece of profit pie are what all parties are concerned about.

Without talking about other things in Japan, just the Iwami silver mine with hundreds of millions of silver is enough to drive people crazy.

However, the problem is that both Japan and the fleet that wants to go to Japan are now under the control of Zhongshan Hou Tang Hao.

Therefore, if various forces want to get a piece of the big cake of Japan, they can't get around Zhongshan Hou!
Driven by interests, the Zhongshan Marquis Mansion today received a lot of gifts and visiting cards, and the second uncle Tang Yu was extremely busy.

When Tang Hao found him, the chief steward of Zhongshan Marquis's Mansion was still chatting and laughing with a visitor from a royal palace.

Tang Hao casually sent the man away. Looking at his exhausted second uncle, he couldn't help but said with concern: "Second uncle, you don't have to meet these people in person. Just pick a few of the Tang family members to receive them. This way, we won't lose our manners."

Unexpectedly, Tang Yu smiled and shook his head, saying: "No, no, I am enjoying it!"

"Since our ancestor passed away, when has our Tang family ever been so prosperous?"

"Hao'er, thank you, thank you so much!"

Tang Qi actually thanked Tang Hao solemnly, but this made Tang Hao very confused.

He could understand the feelings of the elder of the Tang family. After all, ever since Tang He passed away, the old Tang family had never recovered. Even the title that they should have inherited had been blocked by the civil officials and gentry. After decades of running around with no results, the family was forced to fall into disgrace at the hands of the founding heroes.

Now that Zhongshan Marquis Mansion is becoming more and more prosperous, Tang Hao is happy to see it, so he is willing to serve as the housekeeper of the mansion and run things for Tang Hao.

"Okay, uncle, let's go and talk business!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Tang Hao pulled Tang Chu to the study without further ado.

"Uncle, the little guy has been here for so long, it's time to give him a name."

"After much thought, I think you are the only one who is qualified..."

Hearing this, Tang Yu was stunned for a moment, and then his eyes turned red.

Of course he knew what it meant when Tang Hao asked him to name his eldest son.

This means that Tang Hao truly considers himself a member of the Tang family and has truly integrated into the old Tang family. He is no longer an outsider.

"Hao'er, I..."

"Uncle, don't refuse. Why should you and I say anything more?"

Upon hearing this, Tang Qi nodded vigorously and stopped hesitating. Instead, he began to think seriously.

This is the eldest son of Marquis Zhongshan. He will definitely inherit the title of Marquis Zhongshan in the future, so his name must be chosen carefully.

After thinking for a long time, Tang Qi slowly said: "Ze means brightness and moistness, and also means grace and favor."

Hearing this, Tang Hao nodded subconsciously and said with a smile: "Tang Ze? Not bad, I hope this little guy likes it..."

Before he finished speaking, a voice was heard outside the house.

"inappropriate!"

“Why not name it “Taku”?”

"Tuo means to expand! Expand the land in all directions and expand the territory by a thousand miles!"

When Tang Hao heard the voice, he knew who the person was, Duke of England Zhang Mao.

"Meet Grandfather!"

"Meet the old Duke!"

After some greetings, Zhang Mao also looked at Tang Hao with a smile.

"If it's Tang Ze, he's a bit conservative; if it's Tang Tuo, he's aggressive and enterprising!"

Tangtuo!

This name is undoubtedly more suitable for Tang Hao's taste.

Opening up land in all directions and expanding territory for thousands of miles is also more in line with the future trend of the Ming Dynasty!

The reason why Zhang Mao proposed this name was undoubtedly to let His Majesty the Emperor see Tang Hao's determination to fight for the country and expand the territory!
Tang Hao looked at Tang Yu, who nodded.

In terms of pleasing the emperor alone, Tang Tuo is undoubtedly better.

So Tang Hao nodded and decided on the name directly.

The eldest son, Tang Tuo!

Then Tang Hao noticed that behind Duke of England Zhang Mao, there was a young man hiding, who looked very shy.

"Grandfather, this is..."

"This is Rong'er, my eldest grandson!"

Zhang Mao said directly: "Tang Hao, do you still remember the support I gave you in the past?"

When Tang Hao suddenly appeared, although he made great contributions in saving the emperor in the Nanyuan Tiger Case, he was obstructed by civil officials and gentry when he tried to inherit the title. It was Duke Yingguo Zhang Mao who came to the rescue, which enabled Tang Hao to inherit the title of Marquis of Zhongshan.

After that, Zhang Mao also used the power of the Military Merit Group to dispatch a group of military merit descendants and generals from the Nine Frontiers to follow Tang Hao, including Tang Mu, Chang Kuohai, An Guo, Chen Jizu and others. Now they have all grown into Tang Hao's confidants who follow him in his campaigns.

So no matter what, even if Zhang Mao did these things with selfish motives, Tang Hao still had to repay the favor.

Hearing this, Tang Hao nodded seriously.

"Of course I remember, I never dare to forget!"

Hearing this, Zhang Mao nodded with relief.

"In that case, I'll leave this child to you to train and cultivate."

After hearing this, even Tang Hao was a little surprised.

"What does this mean, Grandfather?"

"Why do you want to give him to me to train?"

Zhang Mao looked miserable and sighed.

"I am neither good at literature nor martial arts in my life, so I can't raise any good offspring. Zhang Lun, this useless guy, is the best example!"

"Now that idiot only knows how to indulge in alcohol and sex, and the child's mother is a jealous woman. If we continue to let that jealous woman teach Rong'er, I'm afraid Rong'er will also be a useless thing in the future!"

Zhang Mao looked at Tang Hao with red eyes and said in a deep voice: "You can train this child however you want. I have only one request, don't let him die or become disabled!"

Seeing this, Tang Hao couldn't help but sigh.

"In that case, Tang Hao will obey your orders."

"Grandfather, rest assured, Brother Rong will never be a playboy!"
