Chapter 512: Family happiness, frame-up

Every time I return home from the Governor's Office, Jiang Feng's mood is always better than ever. He listens to his child's silence and calls "Master Father" angrily. The fatigue of the day is gone. Now among Jiang Feng's wives and concubines, Liu Fangrui has two boys, Su Guanyue is a boy, Su Guanxue is a girl, and Xia Cuiyu is the last to give birth. Last year, there was a boy. Andrea gave birth to two girls. The only one who was not pregnant is Tang Xuan who came back and forth recently.

The oldest of the children was four years old, and some of them were inseparable from their mother's arms. A few of them could walk by themselves were running wildly under the leadership of Jiang Zhengxi. The servants and maids behind them were carefully guarding them, fearing that something would happen.

In this era, it is very different from when Jiang Feng had not traveled through time. At that time, it was not a good thing to have an extra child. Measures such as fines and household registration will make you feel overwhelmed. In this era, the most authoritative people can use this sentence to explain "many children and many blessings".

Especially for kings and princes like Jiang Feng, they have heirs and many heirs, which are necessary means to stabilize their subordinates and make their subordinates more loyal. In fact, after the birth of Dinghai, the child of his wife Liu Fangrui, many scholars who had actually waited and watched began to take the initiative to contact the bureaucratic system in Huazhou.

Because of a formal heir, it shows that according to the current momentum, Huazhou can at least ensure that two generations will not decline and are worthy of allegiance to itself.

Su Guanyue's son is the eldest son, Jiang Zhengxi. He took his younger brother Dinghai to run around. When Jiang Feng came back, he held them in his arms. After teasing for a while, he walked into the main hall with a smile on his face. The wives and concubines there had already prepared supper and waited for him to come back.

When Jiang Feng was not traveling through time, he was just a restaurant chef who was scattered and waiting to die. After traveling through time, he was just a junior college in the Jinyiwei School. Although he became rich later, because of what he did, he still dared not seek any stability in his heart, just to save his life. He thought of the situation where there would be a situation where wives, concubines and children are full of people today. The most important and fulfilling thing for a man is his career success and his family is his happy.

Looking at the lively dining table, Jiang Feng felt quite confident. According to the etiquette of this era, the female relatives who could sit with Jiang Feng were only Liu Fangrui, but Jiang Feng was too lazy to make these false heads. Moreover, he also knew that if he really had a class, the inner house might not be able to be peaceful, so he arranged for his family to sit on both sides of the European-style long table when he was having dinner.

It was lively and the whole family gathered together. It was really hard to say that Jiang Feng’s inner relatives rarely had any jealous things. Of course, there was Liu Fangrui’s general understanding, the modesty and courtesy of the Su sisters, Andrea’s restraint, and perhaps the credit for gathering at the long table regardless of class.

The family banquet of the governor of Huazhou enjoys a high reputation among the civil and military officials of the Jiang family army. Even those who have eaten and seen it in Jiangnan and the capital were amazed. Jiang Feng made his first pot of gold in Huifenglou that year, which was not a futile reputation. Although he does not cook in person now, the chefs of the governor's office have received guidance from Jiang Feng. In a word, Fatty Bao from Huifenglou, Chef Bao was the chef of the governor's office.

Fatty Bao used to give Jiang Feng a lot of effort, but later when he was helping the chef in the capital, he also helped the Jiang family army a lot. Many of the heroes who started their business together are now in charge of the country. According to Jiang Feng and Zhao Zhubu, Fatty Bao could take a idle position in the prefect's office. Anyway, the salary was extremely generous, which made him rich for the rest of his life. Unexpectedly, Chef Bao was unwilling to be idle.

He said this to Jiang Feng, saying that he had been a chef for his whole life, and that Jiang Feng had great kindness and he was willing to continue to be a chef for Jiang Feng's private residence, which was to do something for Lord Jiang Feng. Since he said this, no one was willing to make things difficult for him. Moreover, Fatty Bao had excellent skills and knew Jiang Feng quite well, so Jiang Feng agreed to him.

Every night, Jiang Feng always drinks some rice wine. This rice wine is transported from Jiangnan. It is the best wine. It has always been supplied to the richest families in the Ming Dynasty. With Jiang Feng's identity, naturally, a maritime merchant bought it to him to please him. At this time, the weather on the Korean Peninsula was a little cold, so drinking some hot and mellow wine was very pleasant. When Jiang Feng was drinking, he couldn't help laughing when he thought of the letters he brought on the boat in the afternoon.

Su Guanyue, who was beside her, looked at Jiang Feng and laughed, couldn't help but ask gently:

"Mr. Husband, why are you so happy?"

It took one and a half months to sail from Zhangzhou to Incheon, from North Korea, even if the fastest ship of this era set sail when the wind direction was right. Yang Shitou occupied Zhangzhou City in June. In September, the information compiled by the personal barracks and Sima worked on the train to Huazhou.

The so-called Spanish occupying army occupied Zhangzhou City. The fall of a medium-sized city is still close to the coastal city. This is not a big deal when the sea ban has not been revoked, because the Fujian officialdom almost knew that there were actually no official people in Zhangzhou City, and most of them were under the management of the maritime merchants. If there were any pirates and pirates who wanted to enter the city.

As long as you attack with your heart, it is not a problem to capture this city. As long as the nearby officers and soldiers are dispatched, they can be recaptured soon. However, what I didn’t expect was that it was not pirates and pirates who occupied the city, but the regular Spanish army, and their combat effectiveness was very strong.

The troops of more than 6,000 people from the two nearby garrisons were actually defeated. It is said that the firearms are very good and ships are assisting. It is said that these giant ships were originally planning to attack the Portuguese in Macau, but because Guangdong was strictly guarded, they did not succeed. Some people also said that this was a conspiracy between Guangdong's pirates and foreigners, and they wanted to occupy the land of our Ming Dynasty.

No matter how you concluded, it would be impossible to regain Zhangzhou in a hurry with the troops of Fujian's own province. In this mountainous terrain in Fujian, it is not very convenient to gather a large number of troops. It often requires a ship to transport troops at sea.

At this time, the sea route was completely blocked by gunboats, and it could only be mobilized inland. This is not something that can be accomplished in a short period of time. Therefore, Fujian mobilized more troops to prepare for the attack on the other side, and reported it layer by layer, requesting support from troops.

In fact, in this matter, the whole country of Fujian was not affected at all. Farmers and landlords still farmed. As for those industrialists and businessmen who made money by maritime trade, people were panicked a few days before the occupation of Zhangzhou City. Later, they found that Yuegang had just changed their owners, and their business was not affected at all. The merchants had no idea of ​​a nation-state and would not feel any inconvenience.

The only thing that felt very troublesome was that the missionaries from Europe came from Europe. With the increasing prosperity of maritime trade, more and more missionaries came to the Ming Dynasty to preach. In this era, missionaries from the East were generally priests from the Jesus Church in Spain and Portugal. These people took different technologies and experiences from the West and the East as introductions, and after they became interested, they were preaching the doctrine.

When the industry and commerce prospered in the Ming Dynasty and the traditional Confucian system was in chaos, it filled the spiritual gap of some people. However, in recent years, the churches in the Western world gradually declined in the north. There is no other reason, because the newly emerging holy Taoism began to rise slowly. This holy Taoism does not talk about cultivation and focuses on making money, which is naturally in line with people's psychology, and miracles have appeared frequently, so people cannot believe it.

The doctrines spread by the Jesuits are relatively outdated, very different from those Protestant doctrines that advocate industry and commerce, so they cannot take advantage of it. They gradually began to concentrate in big cities and the south. Fujian is also an important coastal province, and there are quite a lot of priests in Quanzhou, Fuzhou and Zhangzhou.

After the fall of Zhangzhou City, these missionaries who were also from the West were immediately suspected by the government as spies who spies spies spies who spyed on military affairs. No matter what they did in the past, they were all arrested and imprisoned.

The coincidence happened here. Spain did organize an expeditionary force of 3,000 people. In the Spanish kingdom, this was naturally not a military secret. However, almost two years ago, those priests who knew the expeditionary force also came to the Ming Dynasty by boat. After all, no one knew that in Malacca, the fleet had been wiped out, the ships were sunk into the sea or burned down, and many people were locked in the South China Sea as slaves. Such a long-distance expedition would be normal even if it was only at this time that it would start to attack Zhangzhou City.

In the prison in Fuzhou City, there was a priest who knew about this, and several missionaries from the West stayed with him. He thought that these were all from Spain and the yamen runners outside could not understand Spanish, so they said what they knew and cheered their companions and said, the invincible Spanish army must conquer this country. We only need to pray to the Lord and believe in the kingdom of China's army.

Unexpectedly, there was a Portuguese who was locked up with him. He was unwilling to suffer for the glory of Spain, and immediately reported to the yamen runners who were guarding them at night - the priests were all good at speaking Chinese.
