Monopolize the little widow

The sunshine and twilight of early spring are not as hot as summer. The streets are full of nods and praises, merchants peddling, and people juggling to make a living. It's so lively.A casual teahouse was full of guests, most of whom were dignitaries.

Ling Jiu, the prince's guest, is bringing his servants to the appointment. Downstairs are the people drinking tea, and all of them are discussing the assassination of Prince Ping's mansion.They were only glad that the other person who died was not Prince Ping.

"Prince Ping really stays at home and doesn't go anywhere?" Once Donghuang Qianao and Donghuang Qianyu died, the emperor only punished him with one year's salary, and did not ground him. However, since that assassination until now, King Ping really never went to court once.

The tea drinker said: "Prince Ping was injured, he asked for leave to rest at home, don't you know?"

The man chuckled, "I only know that Princess Ping is pregnant, and the prince is taking care of him at home. I heard from the servants in their house that Prince Ping doesn't look like he's seriously injured. He takes care of the princess by himself all day long, and treats him as an ancestor. on."

"Haha, our prince dotes on this princess very much. When the prince was 16 years old, he spent 10 taels of silver in the Xingchen Tower to photograph a white tiger with blue eyes and gave it to him. The princess is not what she looks like now, ouch, she is so fat that the ground trembles when she walks."

"I have seen the princess before. Although she is not gorgeous, she is very cute. The princess used to be fat?"

"Not only is he fat, but he also has a bad reputation. What do you think, our prince married him back home. If you said that the prince doesn't like the princess, who would believe it?"

Lingjiu listened for a while and went upstairs.There are two men in the private room.One is from the capital, and the other seems to be from a different race.The men from the capital are dressed in fine clothes, imposing, with a crescent saber inlaid with gemstones around their waists.The man of the foreign race is older, with short blond hair, black mist eyes, and pale skin, which is different from the wheat color of Daming people.

Ling Jiu didn't like this person very much, he didn't like him at first glance, "Why are you so eager to see me?"

Zhan Fengxing said with an uncertain tone: "An unknown ship appeared at sea."

"What's so strange?" There are so many unidentified ships on the sea, and there are even pirates. Ships that have not been registered with the government are all classified as unidentified ships. The navy has no time to deal with them.

"My lord, I also thought this way at the beginning of this matter, but it is different now. Wherever the ship goes, that place will become hell."

They are caravans, specializing in dealing with fishermen. They buy corals and pearls from fishermen, and then take them to processing workshops for processing, and then sell them one by one. He will also go to sea to other states.

Until one day, he came to a fishing village. The fishing village was in a mess and full of gunpowder smoke. On the ground were fishermen who had been shot to death one after another.They searched all the way and found them in a house.

None of the women or girls were wearing clothes. They were tortured and shot to death in the end. Some witnesses said that the people who attacked their village were heavily armed troops with the most precise weapons.

He reported to the government, but for some reason, the government concealed the news, and then he began to investigate by himself, and finally found a clue in a canyon.

"Guns? Wait, you mean robbing?"

"Yes sir."

"Impossible. The arsenal is managed by King Ping. There are records of how many guns are in it. It is impossible for troops with guns to appear in the South China Sea area. Those troops in the military academy will not leave without orders." Slaughtering the entire village, armed with guns army?Daming didn't have that army that dared to massacre the people.

"My lord, I'm not talking about the army of Ming Dynasty, nor the army of Chu State. They are not from our mainland China at all. They are evil spirits."

On the border of the South China Sea, there is a Nanjin Canyon, where a group of fishermen live. Some people say that they haven’t seen the fishermen in the Nanjin Canyon come out to sell fish for a long time. Out of curiosity, he led people into it, but there are no fishermen there. , all sea people!Sea people with golden head and big green eyes.

He also met his friend in the south into the canyon, that is, the man named Feilu beside him.

He didn't understand why there were a large number of armed Hai people, why they massacred these fishing villages, why the local government ignored them, and even concealed the incident and did not report it to the court!

So his friend told him that those sea people came from their neighboring country, and they came to invade China this time.

"My lord, the border of the South China Sea is in dire straits. We escaped from there. I will tell my lord this matter, and I hope my lord will contact the higher authorities and send troops there immediately."

South China Sea has been reduced to a slaughterhouse, and the local people are complaining endlessly. The magistrates don't hear what's going on outside the window. They suspect that those magistrates have betrayed the country and become spies.

"Wait, isn't there a navy? What are those navy doing?"

Zhan Fengxing looked sad, "The navy on the border of the South China Sea fought against the Hairen, but they lost to the sophisticated weapons of the Hairen. Master Lu was wiped out by all the navy."

"What did you say? The whole army was wiped out!" Ling Jiu grabbed Zhan Fengxing's collar and asked angrily.

"My lord, they are all dead, there is not one left."

Lord Lu couldn't bear it anymore, and took all the navy to Haijin Canyon, but he was betrayed, and the whole navy fell into a trap.In order to let his subordinates escape as much as possible, Mr. Lu appeared on the deck alone to attract the opponent's firepower. Their rifles were poorly crafted.How can it be compared with the big cannon of the Hairen.

Lord Lu's ship was blown up, and his subordinates failed to escape and spread the news, until the scattered and riddled ships of the navy appeared on the coast, and there was a ship of corpses, the common people knew , the navies are all dead.

After hearing this, Ling Jiu rushed out of the door and hurried to the palace.There is no doubt that the boundaries of the South China Sea have been lost, that is to say, those sea people are entering the mainland with their entire army!

They will pass through the nearest city of Xiazhou, hoping to hold out for a while until the imperial court sends troops.

......

Song Bai said that the injury was serious, and he recuperated at home for nine days, and he ignored the outside world for nine days. The prince came twice, the first time was to visit in the name of the prince himself, and told Song Bai the follow-up by the way.The second time was in the name of the emperor. Although the emperor fined Song Bai a year's salary, the emperor quietly gave Song Bai a lot of good things in private.

"Who told you to put this flower here?"

The weather is fine, Song Bai supports Ye Zhulu to take a walk in the garden, Ye Zhulu's father came once, and then Ye Zhongmian tactfully takes him away.Half of the flowers in the garden of Prince Ping's Mansion are blooming, and the rest are buds. I think it's not time yet, so there are few blooms.

Ye Zhulv was clamoring to go out for a walk, he was only pregnant for how long, and it wasn't that he couldn't walk because of a big belly, why wouldn't it be boring to keep him in the room all day.

Both sides of the aisle are surrounded by flowers, and the bursts of fine floral fragrance make people feel comfortable, and Ye Zhulu also likes to smell it.Song Bai was furious when he saw the bonus that shouldn't appear, the imperial doctor told him that Ye Zhulu should not touch certain things, such as this bonus, pregnant women who smell it for a long time will have a miscarriage!

The servant quickly replied: "Returning to the prince, the princess said the bonus was beautiful, so she planted the bonus here. Presumably the maids forgot to remove it."

"Why don't you quickly dig it up and throw it away, do you want to harm the princess?"

"The little ones don't dare, the little ones will poach them away."

Ye Zhulu pouted, "Sister-in-law, don't blame them. It's because I like bonuses that I didn't let them poach them and keep them. We can go for a walk elsewhere."

"Since the concubine said it, don't dig it." Song Bai helped Ye Zhulu turn around and walked away, and continued, "Lu'er, you are pregnant now, so you will definitely not be able to come here in the future?"

"Okay, before the child is born, I will definitely not come here."

Near noon, Song Bai cooked delicious meals for Ye Zhulu, and planned to practice calligraphy with him, when a servant hurried in, holding a letter in his hand.

"My lord, there is a message from the palace to urgently call you into the palace and let you watch on the way." The servant handed the letter to Song Bai.

Song Bai held the letter, "Lü'er, I'll go to the palace."

"it is good."

Urgent call?never had!Could it be that something happened? Song Bai got into the carriage with doubts, opened the letter, and couldn't help being shocked. This is clearly a different world. Could it be that there are overseas... He has checked the history of this era. There has been no aggression by other unknown countries, that is to say, there is no record in history.

In the Qing Dynasty at that time, wherever the invaders went, they murdered and set fire, raped, raped and looted, and signed unequal treaties. It was because of those treaties that they were reduced to a semi-colonial and semi-feudal society. It was an unprecedented and painful disaster.

Killing, robbing, forcing land.

If you can't beat it, you can only be reduced to human flesh.

Then Song Bai saw the carriages of other important ministers hurrying towards the palace, even the carriages of Dongbohou's mansion, who didn't care about world affairs, also appeared, which shows that something big happened this time.

Song Bai never imagined that there would be overseas troops invading the mainland, and their equipment would even be robbed?Could it be that someone in this world has developed guns?

The theft of their arsenal is purely a rumor. How could it be stolen under his management, so there is no one who steals their things for research, and his things cannot be made by people other than the research institute.

Ling Jiu knelt on the main hall and begged the emperor to send troops there immediately.

"Your Majesty, the State of Chu sent an urgent message to Daming yesterday. An army of ten thousand seamen appeared on their border. Everything Master Ling said is true." It was Dong Bohou wearing a black mask who spoke , should be very young.

"What do you think, Prince Ping?" When the emperor heard the word gun, weapon, he didn't believe Ling Jiu's words. Even with the short pistol Song Bai gave him back then, they couldn't make a single gun. Why do outsiders do it in batches? !

Song Bai came out and said respectfully: "Yi Chen thinks, first, arrest the two Zhan Fengxing and torture them first, and second, you can contact Chu State to find out what happened to them. The third is also the most important thing." The important point is to send troops."

Lingjiu can understand the second and third clauses, but he doesn't understand the first clause, why should he grasp Zhan Fengxing! "Why King Ping wanted to arrest them is the information they provided, and it stands to reason that they have made great contributions."
