I'm a big dick

Chapter 386 Untitled
What Zhang Pan said was not hypocritical.

From his point of view, the war horses are evenly distributed to each association.Although there are fewer conflicts and disputes, a musketeer unit equipped with horses will have more combat effectiveness and mobility, and will pose a threat to Jiannu.

Of course, it would be best if the Hybrid Association he led could achieve this goal first.If not, give up the horses to Kong Youde first, and it will have little effect on his military operations.

Pushing northward, relying on the original fortress or the built position, it is true that too many horses are not needed, and less food and grass materials can be carried.

What's more, with fewer horses, it can better ensure the food for the defenders in the stronghold, and can form a strong and stable situation faster.

Therefore, giving up the horses temporarily was also a decision made by Zhang Pan based on the mission and characteristics of his own army's combat operations, and it was not simply a high-spirited decision.

Kong Youde put away his astonishment, cupped his hands, and didn't say much.Between men, there is no need to express the love of comrades-in-arms too hypocritically.

In this military operation, his troops had a long journey, and it was more convenient to have more horses.There is also more room for maneuver in dealing with complex situations.

Once the join forces are successful, not only can they attack Haizhou from the southeast, but they can also occupy Fengcheng and launch an attack on Jianzhou Guard together with the headquarters.

"You must protect the imperial flag." Zhang Pan did not forget to remind, "I would rather destroy it than make mistakes."

Kong Youde laughed, and said: "How can a certain person not know the importance of the military flag? The life of a certain family can't compare with it, how dare you be careless?"

Zhang Pan nodded, showing a look of relief and parting farewell.

Not long after the two opened the town from Dongjiang, they went to southern Liaoning together, fought fiercely with Jiannu several times, defended against the enemy side by side, and their relationship was deep.

This time they act separately, but they don't know when they will be able to fight side by side again.

Kong Youde also felt the reluctance and melancholy of his comrades before parting, but not as delicately as Zhang Pan.With a big grin, he said, "Let's go, let's go drink and celebrate."

Zhang Pan was not as evasive as in the past, and he agreed with a smile: "I have to confer the imperial military flag, it is indeed time to celebrate. Let's go, Zhang will be the host."

Kong Youde chuckled, and said, "I won't argue with you, so I saved my money to buy cigarettes and alcohol."

"Save your money in case you get married and have a family in the future." Zhang Pan joked with a smile, and walked away with Kong Youde, talking and laughing.

Feeling the tension that another war is approaching, in addition to the officers and soldiers who are ready to go, there are also people living in the recovery area.

The officers and soldiers also felt that the imperial court was different from the past. The most direct thing was that the salaries were paid in full and on time.

Especially veterans who have been in the military for more than three years, they have a comparison.The recruits thought that was the case, and did not listen to what the veterans said, so how could they know the hardships and hardships of being in arrears and deducting salaries.

The ordinary people in Guangfu District felt differently from the officers and soldiers. What they cared about was their own life, the hunger, food and warmth of their children.

"It's going to war again!" Yingzi's father looked at the carriages passing by on the road, and a long line of rickshaws, and expressed emotion.

Yingzi's eyes are also staring, she knows more than her father.Brother Zhuzi got busy again. He hadn't seen anyone for several days, and was organizing people to transport supplies back and forth across the state.

"Another income!" Yingzi's father stroked his beard and said thoughtfully: "Our family will also get a car, and how many times will we deliver supplies? There will probably be a lot of such work in the future."

For ordinary people, expropriation by the imperial court is not a very normal thing.During the war against the Japanese and aid to the DPRK, how many Liaodong civilians recruited died, and no compensation was given.When Jiannu first rebelled against the Ming Dynasty, the civil servants did not take less levies, and they were all included in the corvee, which was nothing.

As it is now, the government clearly marks the price, and the price is paid for as far as the delivery is, which is the first time in history.

"There are so many people and so little land, why can't they earn money by running around?" Yingzi glanced at his father and said, "Our family has land, so it's better to plant it well than running around hard?"

"Land, plant it well." Yingzi's father said confidently, "You've made a lot of money selling vegetables, and it's almost enough for your dowry."

Yingzi rolled his eyes and said, "Don't save it for me, and you don't need to go bumping and working hard."

Yingzi's father curled his lips, took out the cigarette pouch and filled it with cigarettes, wanted to light it but hesitated, tried the direction of the wind, lit it up in the downwind of his daughter, and swallowed with gusto fog.

"Well, the cigarettes I bought this time taste good." Yingzi's father praised: "My daughter is still filial. Let's grow some next year and earn more."

Yingzi felt a little helpless, some land was not good enough to grow food, this year she would grow vegetables, and next year she would have to grow cigarettes.

Yingzi's father looked at his daughter, and murmured in his heart: This pillar is lame, so I won't pick it, so why don't you worry about it!Hurry up and find a matchmaker to talk about marriage. After my daughter is married, I will feel at ease.

"Silly boy, silly Zhuzi..." Yingzi's father mumbled unknowingly.

Yingzi turned his head strangely and asked, "Father, who do you think is a fool?"

Yingzi's father snorted, exhaled thick smoke, knocked on the pipe pot, and said angrily: "It's not up to me whether you're stupid or not, as long as you think it's good."

Saying that, he got up and put the cigarette pot in his waist, and said: "Okay, I'll go home first, you continue to be a buddy, and if you find good cigarettes, buy some more."

"Father—" Yingzi yelled, but the old man just waved his hand and left without looking back.

What's the meaning?Yingzi frowned and thought for a while, and finally figured out something.The girl pursed her lips and smiled, then couldn't help but sighed softly.

Ping Liao, it's really like what Brother Zhuzi said, it will be over in two or three years at most?

Yingzi would rather believe that this is true, and while thinking about it, he walked back to the expanded shop.

The variety of goods has increased again, and the food and clothing are almost the same as the grocery stores in the inland towns.It can also be seen from this that the expansion of consumer groups is no longer just soldiers, but also ordinary people.

If the Chinese Chamber of Commerce set up shops in Lushun and Pidao before, it was to please the emperor, and it was prepared to lose money and make money, but now it has started to make money.

It was the emperor's policy to increase the income of the people in the recovery area and get rid of the embarrassment of the court as soon as possible.

After going through wars and hardships, they fled to the Ming ruled area. The family background of the new batch of Liao people is generally very poor.The land has also been allocated to the old residents. If they are not given some work to do, they can only do idle work and cannot create value.

For the Liao people in the recovery area, the imperial court already had preferential policies.For example, no tax is paid for farming, and relief food is distributed on a per capita basis.

Now, the corvee has also been abolished.Mobilizing the people to deliver food, grass and materials, and also giving wages, is equivalent to finding a lucrative job for the newcomers.

Moreover, the people who have lived on the island and the Guangfu District for more than a year have more or less saved some money.Whether it is farming, fishing, or working, it is income.

If you have spare money in your hand, you need to buy the necessary household items.Although it is still budget-friendly, it can be regarded as having some spending power.

The wealthiest family members are those who serve as soldiers. The military pay is full, and the soldiers don't spend much, and they all subsidize the family.There is also preferential treatment for military family members, and these people are more generous when shopping.

The increase of consumer groups, in turn, promotes the development and expansion of stores, and increases the motivation of merchants to purchase goods.

Ping Liao has been put on the agenda of Japan, and Zhu Youxiao has to think long-term.

How to make Liaodong rebuild as soon as possible after the war, so that Liao people can live and work in peace and contentment as soon as possible, and specific policies have already begun to be implemented.

........................

The military towns launched operations one after another, benefiting from factors such as the large number of supplementary soldiers and the short training period of the Musketeers.

After the war, the Ming army recovered so quickly and launched almost continuous operations without interruption.This surprised the Houjin side, and was quite flustered.

The weaknesses of small population and weak foundation were fully exposed due to the continuous actions of the Ming army. In view of the shortage of troops, the later Jin also expanded the army.

There were not enough young and middle-aged people, so Nurhaci had to issue a Han decree to recruit Jurchens aged 15 to 50 to expand the army.

It barely met the requirements in terms of quantity, but the quality was not flattering, and the overall combat power of the Houjin Army inevitably declined.

Even if all the Jurchens were soldiers, they would not be able to consume the Ming Empire with a population of hundreds of millions.On this point, Zhu Youxiao can not only be sure, but also be sure.

Holding the little girl who can already babble, Zhu Youxiao temporarily put aside the troubles of political affairs and concentrate on enjoying the fun of being a father.

It is clearly written in the "Book of Rites, Qu Li" that a gentleman embraces grandsons but not sons.That is to say, the degree of importance attached to the next-generation relatives in ancient times.

"The grandson can be the corpse of the king's father, but the son cannot be the corpse of the father. If it is the corpse of a king, the officials will leave it when they see it. If the king knows why it is a corpse, they will lay it down.

Don't understand?Zhu Youxiao didn't understand very well either, so he had to ask others to know.

The so-called corpses are also idols.In ancient times, when sacrificing ancestors, a living person was used as the image (corpse) of the ancestors to perform sacrifices.This idol (corpse) should be the grandson of the ancestors, not the son.

This is true for the common people, and so is the emperor (the corpse of the emperor). Once the deceased monarch has determined the grandchildren who will be the corpse, all officials, civilians, and the new emperor must get out of the car and salute.

Confucius also once said: "Those who sacrifice to the funeral must have a corpse, and the corpse must be a grandson. If you have a young grandson, let people hug it. If you have no grandchildren, you can have the same surname."

In other words, the grandson is more important than the son.On the other hand, for the sake of image, the strict father is not too fond of his son.But when it comes to the grandson, when he is old, he doesn't need to pretend anymore, wouldn't it be beautiful to hang down on his knees?

And like Zhu Youxiao, as a monarch, he must "take the lead in setting an example" and don't hug his son, let alone a girl?

But he doesn't obey. To be precise, he is free in the inner courtyard of the palace and will not attract annoying persuasion.

Such a caring little padded jacket, such a cute little girl, how could she not hug or kiss her?Even though his face was full of saliva, Zhu Youxiao smiled happily.

I felt the warmth and humidity on my knees, and it was another young man who was chewing on it. It tasted delicious. I don't know why this girl's taste is so unique?
Zhang Yu'er reached out to pick up her daughter, patting the girl's butt twice pamperingly.The slightly punitive intimacy made the little girl giggle, and kept pushing her into her arms.

Laughter is contagious, and another girl who had calmed down laughed in Zhu Youxiao's arms.

Zhu Youxiao laughed, wiped her daughter's mouth with a silk handkerchief, and said with a smile: "They are very energetic, isn't it time for a nap?"

Zhang Yu'er said: "Your Majesty, these two girls don't take a nap every day. They are refreshed and don't sleep for a while during the day!"

Zhu Youxiao nodded, knowing that it is not an easy task to take care of children to grow up.Fortunately, there are palace people and nurses to help take care of it, so Zhang Yuer doesn't have to "fight" with the two little girls alone.

"It's time for the emperor to name them." Zhang Yuer reminded.

Zhu Youxiao thought about it and spent a lot of brain cells, but he was not very satisfied, so he didn't disclose it to the public.

According to the seniority, the names of the two princesses should be three characters, and the middle one is "Hui" according to the inheritance of the royal family.

Character.And the last word should be next to the word "female".

Zhu Huihao, Zhu Huimo, Zhu Huijiao, etc., but such names did not satisfy the emperor.

The Zhu family has a large population, and there are many contemporaries. The restriction on names makes it difficult to choose a name. It is either a rare character or a random coined character. This problem has been complained by many people.

But Zhu Youxiao can't make random changes, he can only think slowly and delay.

The two little girls were carried outside by their mother's order by the nanny. Zhu Youxiao "understood it", regardless of whether it was a misunderstanding or not, she lay on the bed with her arms around Zhang Yu'er.

Zhang Yu'er didn't look too shy, she nestled obediently beside the emperor, hugged the emperor's arm, and pressed it tightly to her more plump breasts.

There is both youthful and mature flavor, Zhu Youxiao does not feel contradictory.In terms of age, Zhang Yuer is just twenty; in terms of experience, she is already a mother of two children.

Another reason why Zhu Youxiao likes Zhang Yuer is Zhang Yuer's frankness.

She was born as a court lady, entered the palace since she was a child, and has received some education, but she is not considered formal, and her education level is not high.Because of this, Zhang Yuer sometimes seems to have no royal etiquette, but Zhu Youxiao feels casual happiness.

It's good for husband and wife to be casual, and doing it in a serious way is not interesting.

While Zhang Yuer appeared to be willful and casual, she was also very obedient, obeying the emperor's commands in any posture, and did not hide her body's reaction much, which made the emperor feel more conquered.

This is very good, there are Zhang Yan and Concubine Duan Chun who are shy and timid, half-pushed and half-hearted; Wang Liangfei is passionate; Li Chengcheng is lying down and being beaten...

A hundred kinds of women, a hundred kinds of tastes, Zhu Youxiao finally knows why men are bothered and why there are so many scumbags.

Of course, Zhu Youxiao is not defending those men, he is also a big pig.Moreover, in ancient times, a teapot with several teacups was not a matter of course.

Zhu Youxiao never thought that he could be firm in front of women, and even thought that Zhang Yuer's intimacy was teasing.Since you don't have the determination to be Liu Xiahui, it's useless to follow your body's feelings.

In the daytime, Zhu Youxiao felt that he had added another crime of being a fool, but who cares?
