Chapter 52 Breaking

"Husband, how did Fan Liuyuan and Bai Liusu end up doing?"

When he returned home, the sumptuous dinner was ready. While having dinner, Chen Wen mentioned the first performance of the Art Troupe today. However, compared to the past, Zhou Yueying began to pay attention to the love story of such a foolish man and aggrieved woman in the great era, which surprised Chen Wen a little.

Perhaps, marriage is not just about emotions and **, but more about the soul.

This feeling came to my mind. After rinsing, Chen Wen took Zhou Yueying's hand into the study, took out one of the books on the bookshelf and handed it to her.

Under the candlelight, Qianqian's bare hands were flipping page by page, and her pretty face, which was used to being plain and faced, appeared in a complex look as the story unfolded step by step, as it seemed to be joyful and sad, and both joyful and sad. An occasional smile, or a slight frowning of E Dai. During this frown, Chen Wen sat quietly and watched the beauty in front of him focus on the story, and a smile could not help but turn a smile across the corner of his mouth.

"Husband..."

He reached out and handed the book over, but his cheeks were slightly red, which was even more attractive against the background of fair skin. After taking the book, Chen Wen did not put it back in place, but placed it on the table casually and continued to enjoy the beautiful scenery in front of him.

"In the past, Su Shi said: Looking at the mountains upstairs, looking at the snow on the top of the city, looking at the flowers in front of the lamp, looking at the clouds in the boat, and looking at the beauty under the moon, and another scene. Now it seems that Mr. Dongpo's talent really lives up to the praises of later generations."

On the surface, Chen Wen was praising Su Shi, but in fact, Zhou Yueying didn't know what he was saying. Her eyelashes were drooping, and her shyness was even better than before. In a flash, she suddenly raised her head, and her eyes were full of doubt.

"Husband, did Mr. Dongpo say this?"

“Isn’t it?”

When Chen Wen heard Zhou Yueying ask this question, he was not sure. After all, compared to his wife who is well-read in poetry and books, the source of his knowledge that can barely be called miscellaneous studies is quite complicated. It is impossible to determine whether it is true or false.

"Your husband, I am a martial artist, and I am not a scholar. It doesn't matter whether it is yes or not."

"Hmph, I knew it was made up by my husband, and I pretended to be Mr. Dongpo, but instead I thought what I said was ignorant."

He pulled the beauty with her little mouth into her arms, sniffed the intoxicating fragrance, and then came to her ear and laughed in a low voice: "The truth is right, this is the most important."

The scorching breath blew on the ears, and Zhou Yueying's breathing became a little rapid. But when the next moment, she suddenly stood up and stood up, her bulging as if her little face had become a little round.

"Okay, I know this is a study, but I can't help it."

Zhou Yueying, who couldn't help but say something, immediately turned red. She saw that her expression would soon return to normal with her slightly messy hair.

"My husband always said he knew, but he would never remember it when he needed it. He would be accustomed to bullying me."

She has been married for several months, and she has long known Chen Wen's temper. At this moment, it is better to say that she is acting spoiled rather than being angry.

Chen Wen also knew that most of the women in ancient and modern times were the same in this regard. They acted very angry, but they might not be really angry. It was enough to just show concessions or concerns. Of course, doing something to make her unable to hold back her spirits anymore is also an excellent choice.

"Who made my wife look handsome?"

Cooperating with the next two silly laughter, he looked like a country silly boy who had just married a wife and was stunned. Then he heard her "scroll" and smiled. If he wanted to be so angry, he would no longer have that atmosphere.

"It's a blessing that my husband is still a Duke of the Kingdom, and he has tens of thousands of iron armor under his command. Now he has supported the pillar of the sky in the southeast for the Ming Dynasty. The appearance just now makes others laugh at me and we are not allowed to laugh at me when we see it." Even though he said this, he was full of sweetness. After all, this appearance was only given to her, and only for her. The four words uniqueness dripped into her heart like honey.

After a while between the young couple, Zhou Yueying remembered what he wanted to say: "This story is indeed very true. Even the alleys in the Fan family and Bai family are heard of. The place where the Bai family lives is not far from my parents' home. I have passed by when I went to incense before. There are also Zhu Fuzun from Jinhua Mansion and Manager Chen from Shaoxing Mansion, and I have also heard of it."

Zhu Meixi was the prefect of Jinhua Prefecture at that time. When he was in Jinhua, he was quite concerned about literary affairs and held several gatherings between local scholars, including Zhou Jingting, which was very normal for him to hear as his sister. Chen Zilong, when he quelled the Xudu Rebellion, was one of the three sons of Yunjian and six sons of Jishe. His literary name was well in the south of the Yangtze River. Many women in the boudoir knew about this person, and even had some secret admiration, such as her aunt...

"I remember, I heard from my aunt before that Manager Chen seemed to know Yang Yinglian, a famous prostitute in Jiangnan, but he failed to stay with him..."

Yang Yinglian is the current Hedong Jun Liu Rushi. When he met Chen Zilong, it was said that he had not changed his name yet. Chen Wen also heard about the story Zhou Yueying told, but he only mentioned Liu Rushi, but he seemed to remember something, and the interest of talking about everything just now was gone.

"Husband?" Her man's expression changed slightly. How could Zhou Yueying not see it? But she didn't understand where Chen Wen was unhappy. She also whispered when she asked.

"The Yang Yinglian, now named Liu Rushi, married Qian Muzhai twelve years ago."

At this time, it was a matter of elegant relationship between scholars and such famous prostitutes. It was not uncommon for talented men and beautiful women to be taken as concubines. However, when Qian Qianyi married Liu Rushi, he welcomed Liu Rushi with the courtesy of competing with the legitimate wife when his original wife was still alive. It was an injustice at that time. Especially Qian Qianyi's literary name was already the leader of the Southeast Wenzong, so the impact was naturally greater.

This incident was a sensation at that time. Even Zhou Yueying, who was still young at that time, had heard of it. After this, she actually deliberately avoided Liu Rushi's name, but Chen Wen suddenly thought of Qian Qianyi, but she still shocked her.

"That money, no, but what are the three rounds of the cherry plaque now?"

Qian Qianyi's identity and reputation will soon spread all over the country if something big happened to him. In addition to Qian Qianyi's accident, the greater possibility is that there was a problem in the third game of the Qiping, so he didn't think about it at all.

"The third game of the Ching Ping is still the same, but only a few companies that have executed it, but now they have their own thoughts. The three companies are probably out of the way to meet in Nanjing."

"oh."

Today, each unit of the Ming army has its own interests. Zhou Yueying and Chen Wen have more or less heard of these things after marrying each other. She has not had much hope for the strategy of Suliping, which requires the cooperation of several forces to achieve success.

However, for Chen Wen, he was forced to cooperate with the forces to fight against the Qing army on Dalan Mountain, but was excluded. Later, he invited Li Dingguo to attack Jiangxi and was politely rejected. Now the third game of the Qiping seemed to be unforgettable, and a strange feeling emerged in his heart, which even made him breathe a little uncomfortable.

"Sun Kewang, I have never expected it. But today Zheng Tai mentioned trade matters with me. He ordered two weapons and one armor from Chen Wen, and even brought the drawings, which really opened Chen Wen's eyes. But tomorrow he set off to return to Fujian. So far, let alone joining forces to guide Fujian, even the third round of the Luping game will never be mentioned. What the surname Guo behind him is thinking is self-evident."

“So what?”

Not comparable to later generations. In Zhou Yueying's eyes, Sun Kewang, Zheng Chenggong and even Li Dingguo have not yet concluded their conclusions, but they are all warlords. Even her husband is a warlord, and in her opinion these people are not as good as that of her - without any other. Chen Wen started from scratch all the way and achieved such achievements in the Southeast battlefield in just three years. Those people were either remnants of bandits, but started their business by inheriting the legacy of the rebel Zhang Xianzhong, and they were the largest maritime merchants and pirates in the southeast. The son of the Fujian warlord who once had more than 200,000 troops could not be compared with her husband.

Without this desire for national heroes and the desire to cooperate with heroes from the heart, or rather, because there has been no such burden, Zhou Yueying can see it more clearly than Chen Wen, a time traveler.

"The situation in the four southeastern provinces has become better and better for the Ming Dynasty. These are all achieved by the husband and the tens of thousands of officials and soldiers under his command, step by step, and in the cracks of the heavy siege of the Tatars. In the future, the Ming Dynasty will be revived, and the husband will be the greatest hero. If the three games of the Chingping are successful, the husband will give Qian Yushan a face; if it cannot be successful, without them, would our Zhejiang King's Army not go to the northern expedition?"

As soon as this statement was heard, Chen Wen was stunned. After he tasted the three flavors carefully, he stood up and stared at the woman in front of him with wide eyes.

"I have made a mistake, and I hope my husband will forgive me."

Chen Wen's reaction scared Zhou Yueying. In fact, once she blurted out her words, she regretted that she had said too little tactfully. When she saw Chen Wen's reaction, she was even more shocked and hurriedly fell to the ground.

In the study, Chen Wen and Zhou Yueying stood and knelt, and even the air seemed to be frozen. After a moment, Chen Wen helped Zhou Yueying up and then kissed her deeply on the cherry lips.

Zhou Yueying never imagined Chen Wen would be like this. She widened her eyes and was shocked. She let Chen Wen hug her in her arms, as if she wanted to integrate the two. Until a long time later, after the kiss, Chen Wen was no longer as gloomy as she had just been, and even her temperament seemed to be sublimated.

"My wife, you are really Zhuge, my Chen Wen's daughter. As you said, without him Zheng Butcher, would my surname Chen still have to eat a pig with hair?"

Amid the hearty laughter, the burden that had been depressed in the chest for many years disappeared, and Chen Wen's momentum soared into the sky.

At this moment, in Zhou Yueying's eyes, if Chen Wen used to hide his sword in the sheath and hid his sharpness in the word "Qiyi", what she saw was a sword unsheathed until the sky!

……………………

The next morning, Chen Wen took the civil and military officials from Duke Xiuguo's Mansion and Jinhua Prefecture City out of the city to see Zheng Taihe who returned to Fujian and then returned to Guiyang to send off the imperial envoy.

Their gang will take a boat at the Wujiang Wharf, pass through Dongyang River and Qujiang, then enter Chuzhou by land, and arrive along the Oujiang River to Sanpan to join the fleet. On this way, Zhejiang Inland Water Division and Chuzhou, Wenzhou garrison will escort them forward, and Quzhou, Chuzhou and Wenzhou station systems will take care of their water needs, and will not lose etiquette.

At Wujiang Wharf, the crowd of people who saw off the fare had arrived. Chen Wen and Zheng Tai also walked with each other. It was not until they were attracted to see off the farewell wine that Zheng Tai and his group boarded the warship. However, before boarding the ship, Zheng Tai still added again and again, in order to deepen Chen Wen's greater impression.

"Fu Ren, Brother Yu will deliver the purchased silver at the latest in April next year. I hope I will pay more attention to that matter."

"Brother, can't believe me?"

"Brother Yu has no such meaning, but this fact is of great importance. I hope Fu Ren forgives Brother Yu for his extra words."

"Brother, please relax. When I returned to Fujian, I also informed me of Damu. Since I have agreed with this, I will never make any mistakes and will always prepare the goods on schedule."

Zheng Tai had already handed over the trade matter to a household official named Yang Ying, who was fully responsible for this major procurement of the Fujian Ming Army and the subsequent cooperation between the two parties. With Chen Wen's repeated guarantees, Zheng Tai completely relaxed and finally embarked on the way back after boarding the warship.

Zheng Tai, to be precise, was the matter that Zheng Chenggong asked Chen Wen for help. It was a large-scale manufacturing of armor and two types of weapons. For this reason, he did not hesitate to propose that before April next year, no matter how much of the manufacturing was completed, Zheng Tai would come with the full purchase payment. This shows his importance to these weapons and armor.

The two weapons Zheng Chenggong wanted were the Lumi gun and the other one was the long-handled sabre.

These two types of weapons, the Lumi gun is the standard equipment of the Ming army musketeers in Zhejiang, and Zheng Chenggong has heard of them. Compared with the bird guns equipped by the Zheng army today, whether it is the iron cannon made in Japan or the large number of self-made and captured bird guns sold by the Ming army in Zhejiang, although the Lumi gun is still a light combroster gun with a thin barrel and a smaller bullet, compared with the former, the Lumi gun has a longer range and greater lethality. It will inevitably have a certain advantage when facing the Qing army musketeers who are still mainly bird guns.

In Chen Wen's army, since the flintlock bolt has been successfully developed but the output is pitiful, only Nantangying has completely completed the replacement. The second batch of Lumi guns equipped with flintlock bolts used to replace the guards battalion are still being manufactured. If you want to use it, you have to see you next year.

The flintlock guns themselves were not enough, so Chen Wen naturally could not make them in large quantities for Zheng Chenggong. He just gave two short flintlock guns to Zheng Chenggong and Zheng Tai as gifts. The goods ordered this time were also the original Lumi guns of the flintlock guns. Of course, the saber cutting on the stock was also cancelled, because this thing was a waste.

If the Lumi gun could be equipped in large quantities, the Ming army in Fujian would definitely improve its firepower to a certain extent when facing the Qing army. However, before the popularization of machine guns and rapid-fire cannons, hand-to-hand combat was the main theme of the battlefield. Zheng Chenggong, who had been in the Qing Dynasty for many years, would naturally not be addicted to firearms like those literati and officials, so he had a second large-scale weapon - the saberatta.
