My Daming New Empire

The second generation of the Wu family has a marquis and two earls. The marquis can have three hundred guards, the earl can have one hundred guards, and the three brothers of the Wu family have a total of five hundred guards.

Other soldiers do not have military orders, whether it is the Duke or the Marquis, they cannot be mobilized, but the personal guards can.

Wu Lv now said that he would bring three hundred personal guards to assist Tang Lincheng in the battle, and these were all the personal guards of their family.

If it was before, Lin Hanlun would be very happy, but now, with the 200 repeating guns, 300 million bullets, and some high-grade explosives on this train, the presence or absence of these [-] people does not affect the overall situation at all.

He also sat up straight, and then patted off the snow stains and mud on his body, feeling pain everywhere on his body. "Your Majesty has already decided to replace it with repeating guns. Now there are [-] guns in the car. With these muskets, I am confident to destroy all the enemies."

Upon hearing this, Wu Lv immediately looked at the four iron box-like carriages with bright eyes, and said, "Is it really a repeating gun?"

Lin Hanlun nodded, and Wu Lv punched him in the chest and said, "Wait, I'll go back immediately and tell our old man that I'll go to Tanglin City with you. After learning so many tactics of shooting multiple guns, now It finally came into play."

He turned around to leave, but after taking two steps, he turned back and said, "I don't value the marriage between the two families. But Xunmei is my own sister. I just want her to be happy, do you understand?"

Lin Hanlun nodded and said, "I will persuade my grandmother, and I will also treat Xunmei well."

Wu Lu and Lin Hanlun have known each other since they were young, and they knew that he was a steady and committed person. Hearing what he said, the little grudge against him in his heart disappeared.

Back to his own city lord's mansion, it was already an ugly time.But now his heart was on fire, he ran back to his small courtyard first, asked Maid Meng Yuan to help him pack his clothes, and then came to the main courtyard.

He didn't dare to break into the main courtyard. If his grandfather was making out with the little beauty, if he broke in, his grandfather might break his leg.

He stood outside the yard and shouted loudly: "Grandfather, grandson has something to tell you."

Wu Keqin is 59 years old this year. In recent years, he has lost his ambitions and enjoys the rest of his life with peace of mind.

Not long after he fell asleep with his beloved little beauty in his arms, Wu Lu's loud shout woke him up.He was exhausted and asked feebly, "What time is it?"

The maid who was on duty outside the door replied: "Master Hou, when I first arrived at Chou."

Wu Keqin was furious immediately, and shouted: "Call that bastard in for me, and see if I don't break his leg."

That's the way it is said, but no one believes it.The eldest son is now in the capital, and the strong grandson is the old man's heart, and he loves him endlessly every day.

The maid moved the brazier in her room to the outside of the bedroom. Wu Keqin put on a cotton jacket, cotton trousers, and a fur cloak, and came out of the bedroom.

Seeing his grandfather coming out, Wu Lv immediately knelt down and said, "Grandfather, just now my grandson went to see Lin Datou, did you know that His Majesty actually gave him [-] repeating guns, which will replace flintlock guns from now on?" gone."

Wu Keqin went up and kicked his ass, and said, "Just for this, you woke me up in the middle of the night!"

Wu Lu said with a smile: "Grandson learned a lot of continuous shooting tactics in Habayashi Guard, but they are useless. We don't know when we will wait until we change our clothes in Tungus City. So grandson thinks I want to go to Tanglin City with Lin Datou."

Although there are some Tatar and Oirat tribes around Tungus City, these tribes have already belonged to Ming Dynasty.There are no enemies around here, even if the army changes clothes, it may be their turn to wait a year or two later.

As his grandson, he was not afraid of fighting, and he was very happy, but he was a little worried about letting him go to the battlefield like this.

Ever since the imperial court adopted the enfeoffment system and feudalism overseas, the succession laws of the entire Ming Dynasty have undergone earth-shaking changes.

No matter which family, only the sons and grandsons can inherit the title if they have to receive education in Yingtian Mansion.Moreover, the direct descendants of each family must be separated from the head of the family by life and death, and they can only see each other once every two years at most.

What if the descendants of the direct line are not talented, but there are capable people in the collateral line, which has become the most troublesome problem for all honorable families.

However, after more than 20 years of exploration, the major families have also explored a set of plans, that is, to establish a family elders' council just like the parliament that appeared in the imperial court.

Use the elders to restrain the misconduct of the head of the family, so that the family will always be at a stable level.Although the patriarchs of some families are still very powerful, for some families whose patriarchs died because of the young patriarchs, this set of rules still works very well.

Take Chen Xuan, Marquis of Pingjiang as an example. When he was alive, he was in charge of the Daming Bank, with great power and a prosperous family.After his death, he was posthumously named Duke, hereditary Marquis of Pingjiang for three generations.

His son Chen Chong had a weak personality. During his tenure as the commander of the Changling Guard, because he was framed and polluted the holy tomb, he was deprived of his title by the emperor and sent to Nanzhou. The title of Marquis of Pingjiang fell to his youngest son.

Chen's parents married the second son of Huang's family, Duke of Fu, and with the assistance of Huang's family, they established a family elders' association to develop Nanzhou.

Today, the Chen family is still developing well, and it is entirely thanks to this system.Although the position of Patriarch must be inherited by direct descendants, with the Presbyterian Church and the collateral branches of the family, people can give full play to their talents, and capable people also have the opportunity to take power.

Wu Keqin's two elder brothers include most of the second generation of the family, and the descendants of the third generation are all in Nanzhou, and in the third generation, he values ​​the eldest grandson the most.

None of the grandsons of the direct line can compare with him, not even some of the collateral grandsons.

If he has three ups and two downs, the entire family structure of the Wu family will undergo great changes.

However, it is impossible not to let him go.The Wu family started out with military exploits. If they lost their bravery, what would they have left?

"Didn't you have a falling out with the Lin family's son? Why did you go to him again today?"

Wu Lu said with some embarrassment: "Lin Datou is still very good, and he is not without affection for Xunmei. If it weren't for that old godmother..."

Before he finished speaking, Wu Keqin slapped Wu Lv, who was already bruised and swollen, and fell to the ground. "grandfather……"

Wu Keqin pointed at his grandson and sternly said, "You can call me an old godmother! Don't forget who you are! Who is Mrs. Tang? That's Mulan in the army who wants to be called a big sister when I see this old man. She is the only woman conferred by His Majesty as a First Class Hero of the Empire!

For decades, she has guarded the northwest border of the empire with a weak force. Not only did she not lose an inch of land, but she also expanded the border westward by two thousand miles.Your Majesty asked her to write novels and dramas based on her, haven't you seen them?You are a brat, what right do you have to call her a godly old woman! "

Wu Lu didn't dare to be stubborn anymore, so he said, "But why doesn't she agree to the marriage between Datou and Xunmei..."

Wu Keqin sighed and said: "My Wu family was originally from a small tribe in Mengyuan, and the Lin family was originally from an ordinary commoner. This identity is a deterrent to ordinary people, but in the hearts of the dignitaries of Yingtian Mansion, who wouldn't laugh at us?

Mrs. Tang was proud and arrogant. Her son married the princess and she still wanted her grandson to marry into a clan, so that no one would dare to laugh at them about their origins in the future.

Even Xun'er, I originally wanted her to marry a prince and grandson, but she didn't want to, so I did what she wanted.

You are also grown up now, and I shouldn't have told you about these things, but you will always have to be exposed to this aspect of affairs in the future.When the old man dies, your father will come back to take over the position of city lord. At that time, you will stay in the capital.

At that time, what you are facing is not an enemy, and you cannot fight or kill.For the development of the family, you may suffer a lot and encounter many setbacks.

Therefore, you can no longer be simple. The development of a family is all-round, and it cannot rise just by fighting.What's more, the chances of fighting in the future will be much less. "

Only then did Wu Lu understand why the juniors of the Lin family and the Wu family were all uncomfortable because of their marriage, but the elders didn't seem to care.He straightened up, kowtowed to his grandfather and said, "Grandfather, grandson has been educated."

Wu Keqin just nodded, helped him up, touched his face with his hand and said: "I will send an order in the next few days to summon my personal guards, and let them escort you to Tanglin City in a few days. As for the Lin family and the Wu family Let's see fate..."

Although Lin Hanlun regretted that Wu Lu couldn't go with him, he was not disappointed. After all, he would arrive in Tanglin City in a few days at most.

After departing from Tunguska City, the security on the train became much stricter.This is the hinterland of the north of the Mengyuan Mountains, not only many small tribes, but also some remnants of the Mongolian Yuan army.

They didn't submit to Daming, they did their own way, and some refused to obey discipline.If Daming sent troops to suppress them, they would break up into pieces and hide.

However, 20 years have passed, and they have never had any disputes, and the local garrison has not pressed too hard.

Now his life is inseparable from Daming's trade, and in another 20 years, I'm afraid they will take the initiative to integrate.

But at this time, when it is time to take precautions, we still have to take precautions.

Two days later, the train arrived at the newly built Yilan City smoothly.Lin Hanlun was surprised to see that his mother had traveled thousands of miles to see his son.

When the mother and son met each other, they naturally had some emotions. Princess Ningguo held her son in her arms and never wanted to let go.

Although she is number 25 among the princesses, she is the queen's own.When she was promised to marry Lin Chu, she was very reluctant in her heart, because the Lin family came from a low background, and the fief was also in the far west, where it was extremely cold for half a year, and there were often threats of war.
