The Ming Dynasty began from Sarhu

Chapter 35 Beauty Picture

In a quiet and peaceful bedroom in the backyard of the Jinglüe Mansion, candlelight illuminates the desk.

Liu Zhaosun held a brush and wrote and drew on the rice paper. After several failures, a kindergarten graffiti work was finally presented.

Jin Yuji, wearing a tight skirt, walked up to him with a basin of hot water and gently put it down.

Looking up at General Liu who was writing quickly at his desk, his bright eyes lit up.

"So the general can write. Oh, he can draw."

Her graceful figure was faintly visible under her skirt. She pressed against Liu Zhaosun's back, exuding fragrance. When she turned around, she bumped into Meiji's chest.

Liu Zhaosun quickly covered his eyes with his hands.

Jin Yuji was very interested and stared at the rice paper carefully.

A crooked monster, resembling a frog with its tongue sticking out, appeared on the paper.

"What is this?"

"Red Cannon, this is the gun barrel, this is the gun carriage, this is..."

"General, wash your feet first."

Meiji spoke softly, took Liu Zhaosun's hand, helped him take off his official boots, and gently soothed Liu Zhaosun's feet covered with blisters with her slender hands.

Liu Zhaosun had told Meiji not to be so polite, but the woman just wouldn't listen. Every day she took off her armor and served Liu Zhaosun meticulously.

Liu Zhaosun looked at Meiji's back and said earnestly:

"You've been through a lot these days, and I'm leaving tomorrow. Here's three hundred taels of silver. Take it back to Korea, and don't come to Liaodong again."

These days, Liu Zhaosun gradually understood Jin Yuji's life experience. Knowing that her life was miserable, and thinking of his own unfortunate fate in his previous life, he couldn't help but feel pity and gradually regarded her as a relative.

"Why? I won't leave."

Under the candlelight, the beauty's bright eyes and white teeth make her even more charming.

She looked at Liu Zhaosun with light in her eyes.

Liu Zhaosun shook his head and said:

"Yang Jinglue promoted me to garrison commander and sent me to Kaiyuan to resist the Jiannu. The enemy outnumbers us, and we will be defeated and nothing will be left. Why follow me? Take the silver and go back to live a peaceful life."

"I don't want money. I want to follow you and avenge my family!"

Liu Zhaosun was somewhat moved. This woman was loyal and righteous, stubborn and independent, just like the Hongfu Girl in the Tang Dynasty legend.

That night in Hunjiang, she took the initiative to call him, and Liu Zhaosun felt that she was extraordinary.

"You saved tens of thousands of lives, my lord the civil servant. You did what the general couldn't do!"

"You are not greedy for money, but brave and skilled in battle, just like Yue Wumu! That day at Hunjiang, you led 300 cavalrymen into the battle. I prayed to the heavens, begging you not to die in battle. You have experienced all these life and death events, all the things on the Three Lives Stone..."

Liu Zhaosun knew that she was truly in love.

He put all his energy into the war. Meiji usually wore a mandarin duck battle jacket, just like any other soldier, so along the way he treated her like a servant.

At this moment, she changed back into women's clothes, wearing only a skirt and jacket, which set off her slender waist and graceful figure, making her extremely seductive.

Although she is not wearing any makeup, her appearance is much better than those celebrities who had plastic surgery in her previous life.

The two looked at each other for a while, and Liu Zhaosun's heart was beating fast. He put his arms around Meiji and was about to take off her skirt. He saw that she was breathing rapidly and her face was flushed.

Thinking about whether he would live or die on this journey to Kaiyuan, he wondered. If he died in battle, wouldn't he be letting this extraordinary woman down? She bore the hatred of her country and family, yet she trusted him so much, how could he possibly let her down?

Liu Zhaosun stopped it in time.

"When I return, I will marry you."

"Don't worry, General. I will keep my chastity pure, or..."

Meiji blushed.

When Liu Zhaosun heard this, it was as if Teacher Cang had said that he had never been in love! Otherwise, there was only one possibility...

Liu Zhaosun took a step back and leaned on the bed, but the beauty was still approaching.

"You, what's your real name?"

"Jin Yuji."

"My father was a councilor of the Yangban class. After the Imjin War, my family was exiled for ten years. We were all killed by the Tartars at the border. My brother's whereabouts are unknown."

Like a floating duckweed, one's fate is filled with misfortunes.

"How can you, a weak woman, protect yourself in the army?"

"I have been practicing martial arts since I was young. I can shoot a bow and wield a sword. I will not cause any trouble to the general. Please do not despise me!"

He had been busy these days and had a long chat with Yang Hao tonight. He didn't expect Jin Yuji to suddenly do this, which caught him off guard.

He tried to avoid the burning gaze.

"Why is the general so evasive? Doesn't he love women?"

"Nonsense! I just."

"General, stop talking nonsense!"

"Miss Jin, please respect yourself. You can only sell your art, not your clothes... Don't take off your clothes..."

With a bang, the door was opened from the outside. Liu Zhaosun breathed a sigh of relief. The bastard Qiao Yiqi was finally here.

The person who came was a woman, who seemed to be quite pretty.

Jin Yuji, as if facing a formidable enemy, put her hands on her hips and angrily shouted, "You are such a rude servant! You don't realize General Liu is Master Yang's honored guest. Why are you barging in? And why are you standing there? Get out! Or I'll break your legs!"

The woman at the door was tall, about fourteen or fifteen years old. The hem of her skirt was as thin as a layer of silk gauze shrouded in mist. She looked noble and graceful, and her temperament was like that of orchid. Liu Zhaosun couldn't help but take a few more glances at her.

You can vaguely see the white and tender long legs trembling slightly in the cold wind.

Liu Zhaosun was a man of compassion for women, so he picked up the fat coat and handed it over.

"Girl, aren't you cold dressed like this? In this chaotic war, if you catch a cold, there's no place to find a doctor for you!"

The long-legged maid was Yang Qing'er, the daughter of Yang Hao. Liu Zhaosun stayed at the Jinglüe Mansion tonight. She saw women talking in the house and became anxious. She came to check without even getting dressed.

I never expected to see the scene where Jin Yuji forcefully pushed her future husband.

The scene was so erotic that it greatly stimulated Yang Qing'er's young mind. She pushed open her mandarin duck jacket, her slender eyebrows raised, and her pretty face flushed red.

"Get out of here, I don't want your filthy thing! My father valued you so much, but you're such a lecher. It's true that all men in the world are bad. A mere captain dares to talk about the general! How shameless! And you, bitch, where did you get this Korean maid? How dare you seduce... seduce Liu Zhaosun in broad daylight, openly committing adultery, how shameless! I'm going to report you to my father!"

Liu Zhaosun pointed out the window. It was seven o'clock in the evening and the city of Shenyang was quiet.

"Girl, look, it's already dark. What do you mean by broad daylight? You misunderstood. This Korean girl is me...my servant."

"A servant? What kind of servant is he dressed like that? I think he's a vixen!"

In the early and middle Ming Dynasty, many palace maids and concubines from Korea were sent as tribute to the Ming Imperial Palace, and even Korean eunuchs and chefs were sent as tribute to the capital.

Koreans had to pass through Liaodong to go to the capital. Over time, in Liaodong, if people wanted to insult a woman, they would call her a "Korean maid."

Jin Yu Ji was born into a noble family. She practiced martial arts since childhood and was skilled in archery and horse riding. She had a hot temper and was naturally not someone to be trifled with.

She had a crush on Liu Zhaosun, and when she saw this maid looking around and calling her a maid, it was clear that she was trying to steal his man, she immediately became angry:

"General Liu and I are in love. Who are you? A bastard that even the Tartars don't want. You come to the general's bed in the middle of the night, you bastard!"

The maid was so angry that she stamped her feet, her face red and white, she stole a glance at Liu Zhaosun and said angrily:

"I'm walking around in my own house, and you have no right to interfere! Who would I care about hooking up with?! My father has betrothed that thief... Liu Zhaosun to me. You, a Korean witch, don't stay in Seoul and sell your smiles, but run to Liaodong to get beaten. Today, I will teach you a lesson for your foul mouth."

The maid didn't waste any time, she picked up a stool and threw it over here.

Jin Yuji dodged lightly and rushed forward with a punch.

Liu Zhaosun stared at the two of them blankly.

"Two ladies, stop fighting!"

General Qiao drank too much and woke up in the middle of the night. He caught a glimpse of the flickering candlelight and shadowy figures in the next room. Qiao Dazui seemed to be thinking about something and was about to ask Liu Zhaosun if he was summoning ghosts again.

But then I heard loud noises in the house, screams, sobs... one after another, and suddenly everything was silent, and faint whispers filled the air in Wushan.

Qiao Yiqi stood there for a long time, not realizing it was already five o'clock in the morning. He yawned, shook his head and sighed:
"The next generation is to be feared, the next generation is to be feared!"

The next morning.

In front of the lobby of the Jinglüe Mansion, Liu Zhaosun, who was promoted to garrison commander on the spot, felt a pain in his back and waist, but his face was full of pride, and he didn't look like he was about to go to Kaiyuan to die.

Kang Yinggan had a sad and pale face. If you didn't know him, you would think he was in mourning for his father.

He escaped all the way back from Hunjiang, escaping danger at every turn, literally risking his own life. He finally accomplished a great deed, but the court's reward has not come down yet, and Liu Zhaosun has to go out to fight again. Who knows whether he will live or die this time? I must persuade him if I get a chance, Zhaosun, Zhaosun, how can he fight again if he has lost his life!

Liu Zhaosun led everyone to bid farewell to Yang Hao.

Yang Jinglue smiled and patted him on the shoulder, and reminded him not to clash with the Liao soldiers when leaving the city.

As for the defense of Kaiyuan, he would come forward in person and talk to Marin, mediate and strive to ensure a smooth rotation of the southern troops.

Finally, Yang Hao looked at Liu Zhaosun meaningfully:
"Nephew Liu, the imperial court's appointment documents haven't arrived yet. Based on my experience, if you can hold Kaiyuan, I can at least promote you to Lieutenant General. A Lieutenant General at the age of twenty is no worse than Li Rusong! You could even become the General of Liaodong in the future! After this battle, marry my daughter."

Liu Zhaosun was so impressed by Yang Qing'er that he was afraid that Yang Hao would misunderstand him, so he quickly explained:
"Yang Jinglue misunderstood. I really didn't talk to..."

"That's fine, that's fine. Youthful recklessness is true nature. The Liu family should have descendants. You have no wives or concubines, so how can you have grandchildren? When we get to Kaiyuan, we'll discuss with Ma Lin about farming or training soldiers. As long as we defeat the Jiannu, we'll be promoted. Hahaha, right? General Qiao."

Qiao Yiqi was calculating how much silver Liu Zhaosun owed him.

Suddenly hearing Yang Hao's question, he was confused and said nonsense:
"What Yang Jinglie said is absolutely right. Men should marry when they are old enough, and women should marry when they are old enough. Captain Liu, no, Captain Liu, is just at the age of twenty, and getting married is in accordance with human ethics! Moreover, Yang Jinglie's daughter is virtuous and beautiful, like a fairy. Captain Liu, there is no time to hesitate!"

Liu Zhaosun was speechless.

On that day, Jin Yuji stayed in the Jinglüe Mansion.

Liu Zhaosun told her not to argue with Yang Qing'er and that he would come to pick her up after he settled down in Kaiyuan.

Mao Yuanyi led everyone out of Shenyang City. Yesterday, Liu Zhaosun suddenly rose up and intimidated the generals of Liaozhen, so no one bothered them today.

Liu Zhaosun was busy chatting with Mao Yuanyi about the Red Cannon and had long forgotten that the two beauties had gone to Java last night.

Mao Yuanyi was very interested in the red-haired cannon that could cause devastation for dozens of miles with one shot. He repeatedly asked Liu Zhaosun if the cannon could really fire that far.
Liu Zhaosun patted his chest and guaranteed with his eighteen generations of ancestors that this is what is written in the book. If you don’t believe it, just create one yourself.

"There are plenty of blacksmiths in Liaoyang City. You can ask Yang Jinglie for money and hire a group of craftsmen to build this red cannon according to your sketch."

"I heard from the Red Barbarians that if the casting is not done properly, too many bubbles will form in the barrel and it will easily explode."

Speaking of exploding barrels, Liu Zhaosun subconsciously turned around and looked at Qiao Yiqi. Master Qiao recalled the scene of the cannon exploding barrel that day and said angrily:

"Why are you looking at me? I'm just casting and exploding! There's no firearm in the Ming Dynasty that doesn't explode! If Kaiyuan can't be defended, your father-in-law will kill you at Caishikou, and you won't be able to escape!"

Mao Yuanyi was a little embarrassed and explained:
"If it's cast properly and the gunner loads the gunpowder appropriately, it won't explode."

Mao Yuanyi is a senior professional and has extensive experience in various firearms of the Ming Dynasty.

Liu Zhaosun finally realized that his appearance had changed the course of history.

The Battle of Kaiyuan was originally scheduled to begin three months after the end of Sarhu, but now it is about to break out ahead of schedule.
