Zhou Yueying thought for a long time and finally had a rough idea. However, when her mother appeared outside the study door, she had to let go of these thoughts for the time being.

"Daughter, hasn't the son-in-law cleared the siege of Yushan County? Even Hong Chengchou couldn't do anything to him, so you don't need to worry too much. Besides, eating less and thinking more is not a long-term solution. Even if you ignore yourself, you have to take care of the child in your stomach."

"What my mother said is that my daughter will go for supper now."

After saluting, Zhou Yueying turned around and called Mo'er. After the maid closed the study door again, she returned to the dining room with her mother. Unexpectedly, while eating, the doorman hurried over and said that Zhou Jingting was outside the door and had something important to come to see his wife.

Chen Wen went on a war, and Zhou Jingting was his elder brother, but also Chen Wen's subordinate. It was not convenient to visit his sister often, especially if others didn't want others to discuss that he was a lucky person who was respected by climbing the corner of his sister's skirt, and he would not want those villains to criticize his precious sister. However, when his mother moved to take care of his daughter, he naturally had to come to greet him every day. Although he could not achieve the real sense of morning and evening settlement, he would also have to greet him at the door of the inner house every day.

However, at this time, it seemed a bit too early to work overtime every day.

"My mother, sister, the news I just delivered, my brother-in-law recovered Guangxin Mansion three days ago. Most of the civil servants and generals from the Nanchang Shogunate who were rebels Hong Chengchou were captured by the royal army. It was a great victory!"

"Your brother-in-law..."

"Brother, how about your husband?"

Unrestrained to worry, Zhou Jingting shook his head and said, "It's okay, nothing happened, my brother-in-law is very good. He is organizing the royal army in Guangxin Mansion to continue to recover the lost land."

"That's good."

His own men were fighting outside, and even if they won the field and took advantage of the situation to launch an attack, they would be frightened and afraid. However, this is the fate of a hero, and as a hero's wife, he naturally had to bear it. After getting Zhou Jingting's answer, Zhou Yueying couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and then she suddenly reacted and quickly apologized by her mother.

"When married, follow your husband, and your husband is fighting outside. Women should be good at helping their wives at home. It is natural to care about them and there is no need to worry about them."

The relationship between daughter and son-in-law is very good, and the old lady is also deeply relieved. Especially now, the relationship between Zhou family and Chen Wen is inseparable. Every step forward of Chen Wen and his power enhancement has a great impact on the Zhou family, and even her parents' family will benefit from it. Whether it is the husband's family, father's family, or the care of his son and daughter, Mrs. Zhou naturally also recites Chen Wen's benefits even more.

"Amitabha blessing, blessed by Guanyin Bodhisattva, my old man will go to fulfill his vows tomorrow morning."

In this way, Zhou Jingting was dragged to chat for a while, but he didn't stay for dinner. He returned to the office on the excuse that he still had official duties to deal with.

He was a little unsatisfied with the murder of Chen Wen in Guangxin Mansion, but he was not afraid of the Tartars fighting to the death in the future or sympathizing with the beasts. But his sister is now pregnant with Liujia, killing less people and accumulating blessings for his little nephew. This made him complain to Chen Wen in his heart.

Such reverie was just a journey back. He returned to the office and immediately became a working state.

"I notified the editorial office of Zhejiang Dibao that this edition of special issues will increase the printing volume, especially the Ningshao governments, and must be well known."

Before going to report the message to his mother and sister, Zhou Jingting had already set the general tone at the internal meeting of the Propaganda Department. Increase the number of journals, which is an old example of the agreement becoming a custom. Nowadays, there are mostly new professions such as doctoral students in various prefectures, counties, and even the wineries and tea shops in towns, which are just for the job of reading for customers. Those who know their own literacy also have orders for publications, especially scholars.

Ningbo and Shaoxing are newly recovered areas. Although Chen Wen left a large number of war soldiers in these two places and the officials of the government and garrison office had already taken their seats, Chen Wen hurried back to Jinhua and then fought a decisive battle with Hong Chengchou, and did not stay there for long.

The gentry class of these two prefectures is extremely powerful and is not comparable to the other six prefectures in eastern Zhejiang. They are very disgusted with Chen Wen's behavior of reorganizing land taxes, otherwise it would not have caused Huang Zongxi's reconstruction of Dalan Mountain.

Now Chen Wen led a large army to Jiangxi to fight Hong Chengchou. In the absence of an armed force, they chose to disagree with the matter of measuring the fields and even developed into a situation where the Huang family in Yuyao, the Wanjia in Yinxian and the Lu family in the places where they chose to cooperate with the Mingjun Group in Zhejiang could not convince them, and they were also humiliated by many gentry as traitors among the literati.

"This time, those ignorant guys must see the current situation clearly!"

Every victory of the Ming army in Zhejiang was not only the high-ranking officials and soldiers, but also everyone in the anti-Qing group benefited from it, but also Zhou Jingting's aide.

The scholars and officials in Ningshao prefectures were not only extremely powerful in the local area, but also in the Ming army in Zhejiang, many of them joined in Dalan Mountain. Many things were found to be very difficult from Sun Yu, the highest-level official who stayed behind. Especially when Chen Wen went out to war, it was not easy or heavy, which was very awkward. It can even be said that if the Ming army had not defeated the Qing army in Siming Mountains not long ago and had accumulated power, the local situation would have been even more difficult to control.

Now, with this victory as the foundation, although the Green Camp soldiers were defeated, it was a group of Green Camp heavy troops led by famous officials like Hong Chengchou. The external victory was enough to shock potential opponents within, especially Chen Wen's behavior of executing the murderers after the war, which was also a kind of intimidation for the gentry who resisted government orders. The task of their missionary department was to promote the strong military power of the Ming army while distributing this intimidation even more intensively.

"It's not just the Zhejiang Dibao, but the art troupe also needs to grasp the script writing work. The speed of holding up a script in a few months was too slow. Forget it, I'd better tell Captain Chen personally."

……………………

The celebration plan for Jinhua Mansion has begun, but other work, especially the civil servants, military officers in the garrison, soldiers and other military supplies, has already begun. Even Sun Yu himself is packing and preparing to rush to Guangxin Mansion to meet Chen Wen.

Compared with the hinterland of the Ming-occupied area, Quzhou has a deeper feeling about the war, because once Yushan County is lost, Quzhou will be facing the Qing army's troops next.

During this period, all the gentry, businessmen and people in Jinhua Mansion felt a tense atmosphere. One battalion of Ming troops followed the Qujiang River to the west, and batches of military supplies passed by here. Moreover, although there was less news from the upper level, the merchants had their own news channels for merchants, and the news from the people here was a little faster than that of Jinhua Mansion.

First, the Qing army captured Yongfeng County, the Yang Wen brothers died, and Liu Guangbi slaughtered the city; next, the Qing army broke through Yulangxi, and the Ming army failed to intercept the operation and was forced to retreat to the county; then, facing the Qing army that was several times more than it was, Chen Wen led more than 10,000 troops to fight.

At this time, almost everyone was panicked about the situation of the Ming army. But then, news of the Yushan Victory and Guangxin Mansion Victory came. Although Chen Wen's killing still scared many people, it would be better to win the Ming army than to massacre the city, to levy severe taxes on weekdays, and to shave their hair and change their clothes to kill them.

In the city of Quzhou Prefecture, the atmosphere among the people is no longer as tense as before a few days, and the crowds in the streets and alleys have also returned to the densest place. The Changshan Wharf outside the small west gate is the most densely populated place for cargo ships from Changshan County. However, compared with those cargo ships from Changshan County, Wang Fu was preparing to take a boat back to Changshan County here and set off for Jiangxi.

"My dear nephew, Jiangxi is still in chaos. It will be safer to go there after the Duke clears the Tartars."

Wang Fu has heard too much of similar advice in the past two days. From the first day of receiving the news of the Yushan Victory, he went to Jiangxi with great urgency.

He is from Huizhou and has the blood of merchants flowing from his bones. He came to Quzhou because of his importance to Xinnuo and was sought after by his peers for a long time, but he also knew that fame, especially the reputation of a merchant, was like snow in the cold winter. If you can't do more things when your reputation is still there and roll the snowball up, it won't take long to melt.

During this period, the attitude of the merchants in Quzhou towards him can also explain this. Although the tea has not yet been cold, the freshness has become smaller and smaller as time goes by, and he still has nothing to do here. It is really unbearable for a young businessman like Wang Fu who dreamed of becoming a big merchant in Huizhou since childhood.

"Thanks to my uncle for his care these days, my nephew is very grateful. But my nephew is a businessman. Although Jiangxi is now in chaos, business opportunities also exist. Those who arrive first can always get a share of the pie. My nephew has been in Quzhou for too long and needs to move, otherwise it will not be a good thing to be lazy."

His uncle Shi was still smart, but his courage was too small, so the situation was never too big. Wang Fu's father said to him that after spending time together during this period, it was indeed confirmed in his heart. In contrast, in order to keep his promise, he could risk traveling through the blockade of the Qing army. Why couldn't he go to Jiangxi, which was in chaos, to look for business opportunities?

"It is only a matter of time for Duke Xiu to kill Hong Ni and Jiangxi to completely recover. The land that has just been recovered must be in chaos, but the originally fixed commercial order will be broken. Just like Mr. Zhu in the city of Quzhou, when the Ming army occupied Quzhou, he dared to raise iron ore, sulfur and other goods for the Ming army. With the support of the government, he was able to jump from an ordinary big merchant and become the most powerful bull-holder among the Longyou merchants."

"If you can be, I can be. It's best if you can meet the Duke of the State. Even if you can't, I'll have a relationship with Li Shuai in Jiangxi. At that time, as long as you have a big shot from the Ming army, help the Ming army acquire military supplies, and transport the goods from Jiangxi, Huizhou and Quzhou, Jiangxi's transactions will only be a huge profit!"

When he boarded the cargo ship heading to Changshan County, he had a letter to Huizhou last time in his arms. When he sent someone back, his father brought him a few hundred taels of silver. Wang Fu, a Huizhou businessman, embarked on his journey to that unknown area with his vision and hope. At the same time, on the northern wall of Guangxin Mansion City, Chen Wen held a telescope and looked at the north side of the bastion that was still stubbornly resisting from afar.

"Mr. James, are you really sure that there is no other way but to siege me?"

Most of Hong Chengchou and the civil and military officials of the Nanchang Shogunate were captured by Chen Wen. As a Jesuit priest, a blond and blue-eyed man, James had no chance to escape with makeup, and was directly captured by the Ming army.

Although the practice of the Spanish phalanx and the construction of the ridges were all decided by Hong Chengchou, if it were not for this person, he would not have been able to realize these plans. Originally, Chen Wen planned to kill them together, but the white-haired baboon now acted like "I can't do anything to the ridges I made if you kill them." Whether it was a provocation or not, Chen Wen had more interest and had fun with him.

"Mr. Guogong, I am blunt, you have also built a battalion in Zhejiang, but it is too simple and it is all out of date in our Taixi style. But even so, the army in Hangzhou cannot break through. Now you are facing the battalion I personally commanded. Although it is still quite different from the fortress that is most easy to defend and difficult to attack in our Taixi, your army alone can only be the same as our Taixi army."

The white-haired baboon opened his mouth and was our Taixi, which really made Chen Wen unhappy. As far as he knew, this European man came to China only after the Qing army entered the pass, and he had never seen what China was like in the Ming Dynasty. Perhaps if the Ming army was not fighting the Qing Dynasty, this guy would have thought that the Chinese had been wearing braids since ancient times, and the ebony and wide belts were simply slaves' delusions about ancient times, and they were probably a little stronger than those seen by Macalny.

After hearing the answer of the Jesuit monk, Chen Wen put away his telescope, then picked up the charcoal pen and ruler, and wrote and painted on the paper with the female wall of the city wall, from time to time, he also looked at the castle in the distance.

After a long time, a basilized plan structure diagram appeared in front of Chen Wen and James. After seeing this drawing, James's mouth subconsciously twitched twice. Then, after returning to his calmness, he replied, "Mr. Duke has such a good memory", full of sarcasm.

Chen Wen did see James's bastion design drawings in Hong Chengchou's head, but after looking at them, he threw them on the side.

The reason is no different. In 1654 AD, the powerful man who really designed the castle in history to have no shooting dead corners had just joined the army. It took many years before he truly determined his position and began to play the left-hand and left-hand fighting technique on the castle that shocked the world's military history.

James's bastion design is average, but it cannot escape the flaws of the bastion in this era of Europe. It is far less than the artworks that he saw in later generations in some military books and the Internet. Those meat grinders that have no shooting dead corners can continue to interpret the irresistible myth under the fighting skills of left and right. Just this is worth it?
