Go back to the Ming Dynasty to be a thousand households

Chapter 141 Congratulations on Having a Son
March 1591, 8 AD.

When the official document of Huang Laifu's award was sent to Wuzhaibao, Huang Laifu was intoxicated with joy, because two days ago, Gu Yunniang had given birth to him a big fat son, who was very chubby and cute. Named Huang Dalang.

The sun was shining brightly, and guests were being welcomed in the defense mansion of Wuzhai Fort, and laughter continued.Huang Laifu gave birth, not to mention the constant congratulations in Wuzhai Fort, but many people outside the fort took this opportunity to come to congratulate.

Now everyone knows that Huang Laifu defeated the horse thief, this promotion is affirmative, and Wuzhaibao is getting more and more popular now, it is always good to have a good relationship with him.Huang Laifu was blessed with a son this time, and this opportunity of He Xila relationship is rare, especially Huang Laifu's brothers-in-law, naturally came in person.

At this time in the backyard, everyone was crowded in Gu Yunniang's room, looking at Huang Laifu's precious son Huang Dalang in turn.There is a rocking blue beside the bed, rocked gently by Liu Huan and Meiyue Ernv.The fleshy Huang Dalang was lying on the cradle, barely opening his eyes, looking at everyone.Gu Yunniang was still a little weak after giving birth, so she just leaned against the bed to rest, but she looked at her son with a satisfied smile on her face.

"Oh my lord, look at this child, with his eyebrows and eyes, he really looks like his father?"

Looking at her grandson, Yang said to Huang Sihao happily.

Huang Sihao didn't say anything, but nodded with a smile. He was very satisfied with his current living conditions.The Huang family can have what it is now, and the Huang family has descendants again. The old man has nothing else to ask for.

"I feel like his mother."

She was Song Shidao who had been promoted to a grandmother, and Gu Qianhu who was beside her also smiled.

Immediately, many sisters-in-law and aunts in the room started a heated discussion.

Hearing the clamor of the crowd, Huang Dalang who was in the blue suddenly burst into tears.

Yang said: "The child is about to nurse, everyone should go out."

Immediately everyone went out, leaving Huang Laifu and Gu Yunniang in the house, as well as Liu Huan and Meiyue.

"My dear son, don't cry, mother will feed you."

Gu Yunniang glanced at Huang Laifu, picked up her son and said.Counting it, Gu Yunniang was just this year, if it was placed in later generations, she had just left the queue of underage girls, but in the current Ming Dynasty, she is already a mother.

Gu Yunniang was breastfeeding, while Huang Laifu was watching. Looking at his wife and son, he also felt emotional. He traveled to this Ming Dynasty, not to mention having a family, and having children, and he was more deeply integrated into the Ming Dynasty. Come.And looking at his son and his wife who was breastfeeding, he also had a warm feeling in his heart.

Huang Laifu was enjoying this atmosphere, when suddenly Yang said outside: "Fuer, Fuer."

Huang Laifu went out, only to see his father and mother standing outside the door, both of them smiling.

Huang Laifu said: "Father, mother, what's the matter?"

Yang said happily: "Just now a family member came to report that a senior member of the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Rituals has come. He has entered the gate of the fort. He is here to announce the reward from the emperor and the Ministry of War."

"Oh." Huang Laifu was also very happy when he heard that, he waited day and night until the reward finally arrived.

He hurriedly ordered the mansion to prepare drum music, and then everyone came out together, waiting at the gate.

Soon, the group of people arrived, and immediately the drums on both sides of the garrison mansion sounded together as a sign of welcome.Huang Laifu saw that all the people in this group were riding horses, and they looked travel-stained. The military officer was a Yuanwailang, wearing a blue official uniform, a white pheasant patch, and a gauze hat with a pair of wings on the back of the hat. It is a master.There are several attendants beside each of them.

Huang Laifu hurriedly greeted him, the member of the Ministry of War, Wailang, was all smiles, and the head of the Ministry of Rites acted a little rigidly.Everyone said a few words, it turned out that the surname of Wai Lang, a member of the Ministry of War, was surnamed Shi, while the head of the Ministry of Rites was surnamed Yu.After a few words of concession, everyone went to the hall and finished the etiquette.

The Ministry of Rites took out the imperial edict, read out to Huang Laifu the emperor's commendation to Huang Laifu and others, promoted Wuzhaibao to Wuzhaiwei, promoted Huang Laifu to be the commander of Wuzhaiwei, and added the title of guerrilla. Huang Laifu was overjoyed and knew that he would be rewarded. Rewards, but I didn't expect the rewards to be so generous, and I also opened the guard independently.

Busily chanting Long Live Thank You, the Huang family present were also overjoyed.The brothers-in-law of Huang Laifu next to him also showed envious expressions.

Huang Laifu is only 19 years old this year, and he has been promoted to guard commander and guerrilla, and he is also independent.How many soldiers of the Ming Dynasty were promoted to less than a thousand households at the age of forty, but Huang Laifu was promoted to guerrilla with ease.

The head of the Ministry of Rites handed over the edict to Huang Laifu, who respectfully collected it.Wai Lang, a member of the Ministry of War, took out the official documents appointed by the Ministry of War to Huang Laifu, as well as the official uniform of the Great Seal.In addition, Jiang Dazhong and other people who have made great contributions in this battle will also be rewarded, and Huang Laifu will handle it at that time.

Huang Laifu took them all.

Shi Yuanwailang looked affectionate and said with a smile: "Huang Guerrilla defeated [-] bandits with two hundred riders. The emperor was very happy to hear that. Even Mr. Shi of the Ministry of War praised Mr. Huang very much. Mr. Huang is young and already As a guerrilla, the future is really limitless."

Huang Laifu hurriedly said: "Master Shi is too much."

The two exchanged a few words, Shi Yuanwailang is the confidant of Shi Xing, Minister of the Ministry of War, and he knew what Shi Xing was thinking, so he naturally tried to win over Huang Laifu.

After the work was over, Huang Laifu arranged for them to rest and hosted a banquet in honor of them in the evening.After Shi Yuanwailang and others went down to rest, some members of the Huang family gathered around Huang Laifu, and everyone was overjoyed.Younger sister Huang Xiurou led a group of Qian Niuer, Qian Shier, Fu Tuantuan and other children, surrounded Huang Laifu to ask for happy money.

Eldest sister Huang Zirou said with a smile: "My brother is getting stronger and stronger, and from now on my sister will decide to stay by my brother's side."

Mother Yang scolded her for always eating her younger brother, and everyone laughed.

After returning to the backyard, she was also very happy to talk about this matter with Gu Yunniang.

That night, Huang Laifu held a big banquet to welcome Shi Yuanwailang and his party.All the people gathered together, and all the officials of Wuzhaibao were also present.After the banquet, everyone went to the back garden again, Guerrilla Mansion had invited a troupe to sing.

There are some tables here, and everyone is fully seated. Huang Laifu accompanied him on the main seat, listening to the play with Shi Yuanwailang and others, talking and laughing freely.Several brothers-in-law are surrounded by Huang Laifu and others.

However, the third brother-in-law Tian Dafu looked a little bad, he had handed over the victory document long ago, but up to now, the reward from the Ministry of War has not yet come down, but his brother-in-law's reward has come down, and he has received the emperor's reward Praise, and at the same time, the promotion of the Ministry of War.Seeing Huang Laifu's high-spirited look, he said that it was impossible for him not to feel lost in his heart, so he made up his mind to ask Shi Yuanwailang from the Ministry of War what happened in private.

The eldest brother-in-law Xu Xueshi didn't think about anything else, but was happy for Huang Laifu.Huang Laifu's second brother-in-law, Li Yingchun, was thinking about his own concerns. Huang Laifu's promotion made him feel emotional on the one hand and on the other.This time, the second brother-in-law also came to inquire about the cooperation between Baodezhou and Wuzhaibao.

The second brother-in-law has seen that the cooperation between Wuzhai Fort, Bajiaobao and Shenchibao is in full swing. In these two places, a large amount of land in Bajiaobao has been reclaimed, a large farm is built, and various economic crops are planted.In Shenchibao, several large mines have been established, and the output of coal and iron is very rich.With these things alone, it is estimated that Huang Laifu's eldest brother-in-law and third brother-in-law will reap a lot of money every year, and they will be rich.

As for his Baode Prefecture, the cooperation with Wuzhaibao has been delayed. Although Baode Prefecture is rich in coal and iron, the mines are all controlled by some private mine owners. These mine owners are all local snakes. With fierce personal armed guards, it is not easy to get minerals from them.

Some time ago, the second brother-in-law had to know that Huang Laifu had been killing in Shenchibao. He wiped out the Liu family, the local snake in Shenchibao for a century, and fought against horse thieves, so that the local mine operation was stabilized.But the second brother-in-law thinks he doesn't have the fighting power and courage of his brother-in-law, so he doesn't want to move on.

Last year, Huang Laifu and his second brother-in-law talked about the jujube business in Baodezhou. At that time, the second brother-in-law was moved, but after returning home, he realized that this way of making money was not so easy.One is that the local production of red dates is still small, and the other is that the road conditions from Baodezhou to Wuzhaibao are not good, making transportation inconvenient and costly.Due to various reasons, the second brother-in-law's financial resources were meager.This time my second brother-in-law Li Yingchun came to Wuzhaibao for this reason.

He took a moment to talk about it with Huang Laifu.

Huang Laifu pondered for a while, thinking that the coal and iron in Baodezhou could not be reached by himself, and the road conditions from Baodezhou to Wuzhaibao would not be solved in a day or two. There was no other way except to use the river as much as possible. As for the production of red dates ...

Huang Laifu said with a smile: "Second brother-in-law, don't worry, I've been thinking about it these days. Qiu Hou will build some farms in Baode, specializing in red dates and other things. I believe that money and food for running Baode farms after Qiu Hou are not a problem, but the farm is safe. question……"

Second brother-in-law Li Yingchun laughed quickly: "Don't worry about Laifu, your second brother-in-law is the garrison of Baode Prefecture, as long as it doesn't take captives to plunder, it's fine to take care of some farms."

Huang Laifu smiled and said, "That's good."

At the moment, the two had an in-depth discussion on some cooperation matters.

※※※

On the same day, Huang Laifu was promoted to the command envoy, added guerrilla warfare, and independently opened the defense of Wuzhai Fort. The news spread to the surrounding Junbao prefectures and counties at a fast speed. Everyone who heard the news was shocked , and envy.

Not to mention that the military households of Wuzhai Fort were all extremely excited, and they talked a lot: "Our garrison, Mr. Huang, has been promoted again, and he is also independent. Well, this Wuzhai Fort has been promoted to Wuzhai Guard. From now on, we will go to the Wuzhai Fort. Going outside, speaking of it, is it worth saving face?"

And many merchants in Wuzhaibao have also strengthened their determination to cooperate with Huang Laifu. Headed by Qu Yuanrui, various merchants came to congratulate Huang Laifu one after another.This makes the new Guerrilla Mansion even more crowded, and there are many cars and horses every day.

Except for the flow of people from Hexi in the castle.Even in places outside the castle, no matter what kind of thoughts they have, no matter whether it is envy or jealousy, on the surface, everyone still sends their hands down to congratulate.Not to mention that Huang Laifu's three brother-in-laws were already in the guerrilla mansion, they were the military fortresses in Shanxi Town who had no friendship with Huang Laifu before, such as the general of Hequ County, the general and garrison of Limin Fort, the general and garrison of Beiloukou, and the Guangwu Station The garrison, the deputy commander of the old camp, and others all sent people to congratulate.

Even Mr. Liu, the commander-in-chief of Wuguan in Zhenning, Shanxi, also sent someone to congratulate Huang Laifu.And Master Liu Fuyu, the Commander of the Metropolitan Government of Shanxi Province, even more enthusiastically dispatched his confidants, and presented generous gifts to congratulate Huang Laifu.Not to mention the magistrate of Kelan Prefecture who had a deep cooperation with Huang Laifu.

Of course, among these people, Liu Jingchun, Huang Laifu's adoptive father and commander of the Zhenxi Guard, felt a little complicated.In Huang Laifu's defeat of the horse thief this time, he was the direct superior of the Wuzhai Fort Institute. Naturally, he also shared some of the credit. Originally, Liu Jingchun was the defensive title. When Huang Laifu received the award, he also received the award and added the guerrilla title .He is 59 years old this year and happens to be promoted and retired.

Everything was fine at first, even though Wuzhai Fort opened its own defense, and without the name of the boss in the future, would the adopted son Huang Laifu still pay for himself?Right now, Kelan Prefecture has a lot of cooperation with Wuzhaibao because of the wool issue. It is foreseeable that by the end of the year, this penny will be a lot of money.

What is Huang Laifu's thinking after independent defense?Liu Jingchun couldn't be sure, so he sent his confidant, Master Sun Wanao, to Wuzhaibao, firstly to congratulate him, and secondly to find out Huang Laifu's attitude.But in the end Huang Laifu's attitude reassured Master Liu Jingchun.
