Chapter eighty-ninth joy begets sorrow
?After the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the 300 personal troops returned to the camp before the end of the holiday. Yang Ji, who was eager to try, followed Yuwen Wen and Chen Wudi to recruit new recruits around Anlu to work hard.
The original 300 soldiers will now be expanded to 2500, so 2200 new soldiers will be recruited, and the Anzhou General Administration will bear the food and salary expenses of these people.
Yuwen Liang, the general manager of Anzhou, once wanted to transfer people from his troops to his second son or let him choose, but Yuwen Wen decided to select soldiers by himself. He brought Chen Wudi and Yang Ji to the surrounding states to recruit soldiers from the general manager's office.
As Yang Ji, a person in the late Ming Dynasty, Yuwen Wen used the election requirements similar to Qi Jiguang, a famous anti-Japanese general in the Ming Dynasty, to measure whether the soldiers in front of him were qualified: people with slickness in the market, veterans should not be oily, and those who have done things in the government cannot use them.
It is just to be stupid, bold, strong, honest and afraid of the country people in the government, of course, there are miners.
Yuwen Wen's "evil deeds" that inspired hidden missions everywhere finally gained something: when he was recruiting troops in Yuezhou, the son of the governor, Xu Shao, came to Yuwen Wen and said he wanted to help. He had lost before he lost the bet. Fortunately, the Duke of Xiyang County was magnanimous and avoided the bad luck of running around Anlu for three laps.
"I have always done evil and not doing human affairs. Will you be afraid of being poked and scolded by others when you come to help?" Yuwen Wen glanced at the other party after saying that.
Xu Shao has been familiar with reading classics, history, and collections since he was a child, and he is a little uncomfortable with Yuwen Wen's speech style. He was choked with such a polite word in his belly and could not use it at all. He could only smile bitterly and say that he would like to be a good person.
Yuwen Wen thought to himself that your old father, who is the old official, wanted to make a lot of achievements when he saw that I was the son of the general manager, so he asked you to come and take a sailboat!
He didn't say anything about it, he had "bad intentions" to Xu Langjun. Seeing that the other party was throwing himself into the trap, he didn't even say polite words and asked him to recruit soldiers near Yuezhou. In addition to the beautiful queen mother Yang Lihua and the inexplicable Yang Ji (strong training), Xu Shao was the first historical figure who was successfully recruited by Yuwen Wen to this era to leave a name.
Li Jing, a military god of the early Tang Dynasty, was initially suspicious of Li Yuan, the founding emperor of the Tang Dynasty. Once, when he led his troops to pass by Kezhou, the barbarians delayed their trip. Li Yuan did not know the truth and secretly ordered Xu Shao, an old classmate who was the governor of Kezhou at the time, to "eliminate the traitor".
Xu Shao knew that there was a reason and that he loved Xiao Li's talent several times pleaded with Li Yuan and finally saved the life of Li Jing, one of the two dragons of the Tang Dynasty. Later, when Xu Shao died of illness on the way to suppress the rebellion, Li Yuan cried loudly after learning about it.
Xu Shao's family has served as the governor of Yuezhou (formerly known as Chuzhou) since his grandfather Xu Hong, which was the local tyrant of Yuezhou. With his help, the recruitment work has been much smoother. The simple farmers in Yuezhou knew that the grandson of the old governor brought people to recruit soldiers and asked their son to come out to apply without saying a word.
Xu Shao had many classmates studying in Anlu Township. I won’t mention the future Emperor Gaozu of Tang Li Yuan. There are many young people from local wealthy families. Yuwen Wen decided to develop slowly.
After a walk around the counties and counties around Anlu, as well as Yuezhou, Huanzhou, Mianzhou and Wenzhou not far away, there were more young people coming to apply for the conscription than expected, but the threshold for Yuwen Wen's conscription was a bit strange, so he could barely raise 2,200 people at the back.
Yuwen Wen and Yang Ji drafted the training outline at the end of last year, and asked Chen Wudi and five other fools to boldly put forward opinions based on the specific situation and revised the final draft several times. He asked the passionate Yang Ji and Chen Wudi and others to discuss the specific details.
Brother Chen Wu, Liang Dingxing, Chen Qijin, Tian Zhengyue, and Hao Dadan were the five fools and dadans who came to Beijiangzhou under the rule of the Huangzhou General Administration in May last year and "How can you get a tiger's son if you don't enter the tiger's den" and were also capable generals when training the 300 personal army.
Yang Ji, Xu Shao, together with the outstanding soldiers in the personal army and these five people, became Yuwen Wen's new officer corps to build a "grass platform team". Yuwen Wen was very excited to see that his career was about to enter a new stage and handed over the preparations for training to them.
......
The Huangzhou General Administration governs Chin Prefecture, and the prefecture governs the Bashui border on the eastern suburbs of Xiyang City.
Yuwen Wen stood on the shore in the wind and looked at the so-called Bazhou naval army in a mess: the wooden houses called barracks on the shore felt dilapidated and felt that they had just been demolished. More than a dozen small broken ships in the water were said to be warships.
The states under the jurisdiction of Bazhou and Huangzhou General Administration were still in the territory of Qi four years ago. Later, Qi was annexed by the Great Zhou Dynasty and the states in Jiangbei were captured by Chen on the south bank of the Yangtze River.
More than a year ago, Yu Wenliang, the general manager of Anzhou in the Great Zhou Dynasty, led his army eastward to sweep the boundaries of Huangzhou to include the prefectures in Jiangbei into the ruling of the Zhou State. Half a year ago, Chen State took advantage of the Anzhou Army and the Xiangzhou Army sent by the Great Zhou Dynasty and the Jingzhou Army to attack the river. Although Bazhou defended the water camp outside the city, it was burned to pieces.
In just four years, Bazhou has experienced three wars and the Bazhou navy was tortured to the point where only a few broken ships were left. Yu Wen Wen shook his head and led his entourage to Xiyang City and kept complaining in his heart:
This is a fishing boat, this is a fisherman, this is not a navy! How can you cross the river and attack Wuchang County on the opposite south bank to grab the iron mine?
If you put a few more thunders in the sky, you will probably sink if you put them in!
This time, he and the Anzhou General Administration Office, together with the officials sent by the Huangzhou General Administration Office, went to Xiyang County, Bazhou for on-site inspection. I was really shocked and shocked when I saw it. What made him speechless was the Xiyang City, the provincial capital.
The appearance of the city in this era did not meet Yuwen Wen's hygiene requirements. Urination and defecation are common everywhere, and pig manure, cow manure, and horse manure are everywhere. Flies and mosquitoes are exposed to the ground and drainage is not good. When the rain comes, the ground is filled with mud and sewage flows everywhere.
Anlu is still better than other prefectures and counties, but there is no worst, but even worse. Now Xiyang City is not much better. Others are used to it, but Yuwen Wen was frightened in his eyes.
The messy drainage in the rainy city in Jiangnan is almost the same as that. The rich families are in a high position, but the civilian gathering areas are much worse. If there is any plague spreading in the waterlogging process, the whole city will be dead.
Change it, change it all for me! This is the determination that Yuwen Wen had pinched his nose and walked around Xiyang City after just walking around.
According to officials, the number of households in Xiyang is about 6,000, which is about 36,000 per household. The city of Xiyang is messy and smelly. I don’t know when a plague will break out. Could it be that you asked me to be the commander of the undead and lead a group of undead troops to harm the world?
How dare the family come to live in such sanitary conditions? My wife is a peerless beauty who lets them live in such a place?
......
In the morning, Yang Lihua, who was sleeping on the recliner, opened her eyes, and Yuwen Wen, who was beside her, quickly helped her up.
Her abdomen was bulging more and more obvious, and she gradually became inconvenient to move. Yuwen Wen would come to talk with her every day when she had time during the day and put her ear on her stomach from time to time to try to listen to the movements of the fetus.
Yang Lihua became more and more lazy at this time, accompanied by Yuwen Wen, taking a nap in the back garden. Not far away, Yuwen Eying and Yuchi Mingyue were playing on the swing.
Although there were no high-legged seats in this era and bedding, Yuwen Wen still asked the carpenter to make a wooden lounge chair for Yang Lihua, who was inconvenient to kneel. Yang Lihua, who was pregnant for more than four months, soon got used to the gifts given by her husband.
But she would rather snuggle in her husband's arms and enjoy the warm feeling. Looking at her daughter who was smiling every day leaning on her husband's warm chest, she felt that this was the happiest life.
In the cold palace, she was alone in the empty pillow and she cried silently and died alone. However, Yang Lihua once thought this was a portrayal of the rest of her life until that day when she had a relationship with Yuwen Wen, who is now husband, everything changed.
Yuchi Chifan sat aside in a state of uneasiness. Just now she learned that her husband and her concubine were in the back garden, so she sat next to her husband on the grounds that she would not let her do anything randomly.
Yuwen Wen knew that his wife was jealous but didn't mind. He was begging him for being with a beauty. He even shamelessly took care of Yang Lihua while holding hands with Yuchi Chifan. At first, Yang Lihua was a little embarrassed, but when she saw that her husband's expression was naturally not like a fake, she also acted shamelessly and acted coquettishly.
After pretending to behave for a while, Yuchi Chifan also felt that his scheming was boring, but he still didn't leave. Now she no longer cared about her husband holding her concubine but was struggling, because she felt uncomfortable recently and felt vaguely expecting her in her heart but was not sure.
Her menstrual period has been postponed for nearly a month and has not come. The last time was in early December and now it is the end of January, nearly two months have passed.
Yuwen Wen noticed the abnormality of his wife and then helped Yang Lihua sit on the recliner and came over to say hello if he felt uncomfortable. After Yuchi Chifan stammered and told the truth, his eyes lit up.
He asked the butler Li Sanjiu to send someone to ask the doctor to come to take his wife's pulse. He stood beside him and scratched his head and watched the doctor take his wife's pulse for a while and finally heard good news: "Mrs. I'm happy."
"Congratulations to the Duke of County." The doctor bowed his hand and patted him a piece of silver worth nearly one tael of money into his hand. Seeing the couple hugging each other and cheering, he touched the unusual silver, nodding and leaving.
‘I really hope that many concubines in Xiyang County will be rich every month to take them.’ The doctor thought so.
Yuwen Wen hugged his wife with a smile and looked at her with a smile, gently rubbing her stomach, and felt relieved: God, if you can't get pregnant, your waist will be broken.
"Erlang, thank you." She leaned her head in Yuwen Wen's arms and said softly. The couple had been struggling day and night since Yuwen Wen returned to Anlu in mid-December, and now they finally had a result.
"I should thank you for your husband and add another one to the Yuwen family."
"I don't know if it's a man or a woman." Yuchi Chifan murmured happily. She thought about it day and night and hoped to have a child for her husband. For this, she almost passed away in every posture. She was so troubled that she wanted to die. Now she finally got what she wanted.
"Sanniang has a good rest and the family affairs will be handed over to Xiaojiu." Yuwen Wen thought for a while and added, "You must eat more to nourish your body."
"Um."
As the saying goes, extreme happiness leads to sadness, and there is also a saying that crosses the river and destroys the bridge. After a few days of being happy, Yuwen Wen was ruthlessly thrown into the garbage dump by his wife Yuchi Chifan as a used rag.
Because both wives were pregnant, Yuwen Wen became a professional "**", accompanying Yang Lihua on lunch break and accompanying Yuchi Chifan at night. As a result, both of them were "disgusted" and became unhonest while accompanying his husband. Not only did he touch his hands and feet, he kissed and hugged him, but he was "restless".
In the words of the two of them, it was to keep the children in their stomachs from sleeping with their husbands.
Yuwen, who was about to start his life as a bachelor for more than half a year, was full of grief and anger and had nowhere to appeal, so he burned his anger to the camp of recruits that was about to start training:
Chapter completed!
