Chapter 329 Foreign relatives

8days ago Historical fiction 8
In the twelfth lunar month, a Senate official newspaper arrived at Changde Mansion and sent it directly to the Wuchang Camping Office.

The most important part is to inform the civil and military officials, set up the first battalion of the navy, and appoint Yao Fang (Monkey Yao) as the commander.

There are some other trivial military and political affairs, such as changing the organization title, changing the previous complicated left outpost and outpost into the first and second posts, and each battalion still has four posts.

The most important goal of the Shixiangwang Group is the military aspect. The subordinate institutions have been streamlined and have not been developed and improved, so they cannot implement civil servant administration; therefore, they have always governed the country with military force.

It eliminates many complex relationships that are often restricted, and is very efficient, but it is inevitable that there is a situation where the general in charge of the army is too powerful.

For example, Zhou Mengxiong of Changde Prefecture was the commander of Wuchang Camp, but in fact he controlled the military and political affairs of prefectures and counties on the south bank of Dongting, including Chenzhou Prefecture, etc., and local officials had to act according to his expression, which was equivalent to the generals of the Ming Dynasty, the governor, the censor, and the commander of the commander.

The Senate's newspaper was also sent directly to the military camp.

At this time, the time had passed (6 p.m.), and Zhou Mengxiong had packed up his things and was about to leave and went home. Before leaving, he read the new mansion newspaper roughly.

He sat in the sedan chair and pondered for a while, and soon discovered that there might be some mystery in it.

Zhou Mengxiong knew that monk Yao. He was indeed an official of the Jinyiwei more than 20 years ago and was barely considered a military general. However, he has been a village chief in a mountain Gaga for many years, and I don’t know what great ability he has.

However, this old boy has a special identity. He is Yao Ji's brother, the uncle of King Xiang; and Zhou Mengxiong himself is the father-in-law of King Xiang.

They are all relatives, but the relatives of Yao Ji's side are obviously the mother party; Yao Monk rarely appears in public, but he is indeed very powerful in the Xiangwang Group. In addition to his identity and his son is the chief general in the Zhuque Army, most of the veterans in the army have some connections with him, such as Wei Bin, the commander of Yongding Camp.

When such a pool of water was arranged to balance Zhang Ning, Zhou Mengxiong didn't know whether to be relieved or worried when he thought about it.

It is gratifying that Sn in law is indeed a bit capable, and everyone will not be able to see the future at all.

What I am worried about is that there will be imbalances when there are checks and balances, and there may be a struggle in the future and become victims; when Jianwen was the emperor, he has never seen such things in just four years.

Zhou Mengxiong returned home and sat in the tea hall first. The seventeen-year-old concubine Yun Niang, whom he loved, came up to pay his respects with his youngest son.

But I didn't see my wife Zhou Li, and I could see her once I got home.

Zhou Mengxiong asked, and then he realized that his daughter Ernie had come home, and the mother and the mother were talking inside.

After hearing this, Zhou Mengxiong was slightly happy and immediately stood up, but soon he looked indifferent and stern.

As a father, how can he be as long and short as her mother?

He first found an excuse to send the concubine away, and sat here alone to drink tea and wait. Zhou Ernie had to come to see her father when she came home.

Sure enough, after a while, Li took Zhou Erniang into the tea hall from the side door, and the mother and mother were still holding hands.

When Er Niang saw Zhou Mengxiong's appearance, she was not scared like an outsider. Instead, she quietly stuck out her tongue and made a face to Li.

Then she walked to the chair in a regular manner, bowed her knees and said, "My mother asked her father for good luck."

Zhou Mengxiong just nodded and said majesticly.

In the past, he could only find the feeling of being a man at home. Now he has dignity inside and outside. Although he has a stern face, he actually feels good in his heart.

He looks quite scary, with a long face like a knife, no smile at all, a big beard full of mouth, tall and burly.

Unfortunately, both of their children are not very similar to them. Zhou Zhong and Er Niang are more like their mothers, with slender bones and no momentum.

Especially the Erniang in front of her, she has a melon-shaped face and looks very weak, without the dignified and general feeling of Yao Ji.

Li took off the maid in the room and soon began to complain to her daughter in front of her husband: The second sister (second mother) has been married for several months, and there is no movement at all. No wonder she is because her husband is too romantic.Before he got married, there were several concubines. As soon as he got married, he helped one of them to the position of the second concubine...

Are you talking about Xu Wenjun?

Zhou Mengxiong frowned and asked, the answer was obvious. He immediately pulled down his face and said, "There is no one in Xu Wenjun's family, what's the second sister and she have to fight for?"Old Xu died in the Battle of Changde and his body was gone. You should sympathize with her if you don’t say that you should sympathize with her. Just considering that Xu Wenjun is helpless, isn’t it the time for you to win over her?The Xu family is poor and has no power in the royal palace; but the Xu family has been with the King of Xiang from the beginning, and the King of Xiang must have affection for her.If you don't win over, are you waiting...

Zhou Mengxiong paused for a moment and said seriously, "As the princess, you are the one who is grateful to the people below you, and you have won the hearts of the people."This is benevolence and courtesy, I have taught you.

Ernie was a very smart little girl. When she heard this, the laughing expression on her face was completely gone. She replaced it with a serious expression. She fell silent, as if she was thinking about something.

Seeing this, Li blamed him: A good family can chat about family matters. As soon as the master comes back, he scolds her loudly. It’s time to stop. You will be happy to make your daughter cry!

Zhou Mengxiong seemed to gradually soften his heart, stopped teaching his lesson, and turned to look at the bearded man who had his chin rubbed his chin outside the door.

It was drizzling outside the door. The rainy day made everything in the world seem graceful and entangled, just like this woman in the inner house.

He breathed a sigh of relief, turned to look at Zhou Erniang, and said kindly: All wealthy families are willing to be crowded, and there are many people living alone. It is not a good thing for those who live alone.But when this person is crowded, he will inevitably have likes and dislikes. Those who are accustomed to it will compete. But only those small people in the market can compete. Women who truly know the general also understand harmony.Fight and harmony, alas...

The daughter understood her father's teachings.Zhou Erniang said seriously, "You will never tell bad things to harm me, I understand."

OK... Zhou Mengxiong was immediately relieved. Although the air was chilly on the rainy day, he seemed to be very warm all of a sudden.

Li didn't stop nodding, and kept stroking Erniang's back with love, his eyes were a little wet. This woman was like this. She could look like a mother-in-law and mother even though she was happy.

He once became a general in the Jingnan Campaign and was full of blood. At this time, he gradually became warm and seemed to show that he had a daughter really good intention, but he was clumsy and could only nag with kind words: There are only loyal ministers and filial sons in the world, but there is no saying that loyal ministers and filial daughters...

Li immediately retorted: How does the master speak? Women cannot be an official as a minister, so there is no such statement!

Zhou Mengxiong had no choice but to change his words: I just want to say that it is natural for a son to be filial to his mother, and King Xiang and Mrs. Yao are also filial to their sons and kind to their mothers. You should pay more attention to establishing a good relationship with Mrs. Yao...

He pondered for a moment and said with a certain degree: The so-called struggle, if you need to fight, you must fight, and if you can win, you must fight; the so-called harmony, you must show that the struggle is for harmony, and you cannot be false, you must make the sincerity of harmony...

Li said: The master should talk about Zen. Every sentence seems to make sense, but every sentence seems to be true.

Zhou Mengxiong lowered his face and said: Second sister knows more than you!

Zhou Erniang smiled and said: Okay, what my father said is the great truth, governing the country and pacifying the world.I want to go to the kitchen and make two dishes for the two elders to try.

When did you learn how to cook?Zhou Mengxiong said.

Erniang said: I studied in the palace, but no one abused me, don’t worry.

Zhou Mengxiong has regained his majesty and sternness: You will go back tomorrow morning. Although King Xiang is not here, you are pouring water. Don’t run back to your parents’ home every few days and get tired of it.

After the mother and mother left the tea hall, Zhou Mengxiong looked at the rain curtain outside the door for a while and turned to look at a waist knife placed horizontally on the shore in the corner of the wall, and his eyes gradually changed.

The knife was already covered with a fine layer of dust. Although the maids would wipe it when cleaning the room, no one used such weapons. Only martial artists like Zhou Mengxiong put this thing in the tea hall at home.

Perhaps it was time to kill with his own hands again, and he seemed to see the distant Changsha City in the rain.

The main force of the Suzaku Army is on the front line of the Yangtze River in the north, so it is unlikely that it will be difficult to withdraw from the southern prefectures. This great achievement was delivered to Zhou Mengxiong.

To attack Huguang prefectures, the first battle should be a major city in Changsha. If you capture this place, other places may be free from bloodshed.

……

The next day, the rain had not stopped, but Zhou Mengxiong was still dressed in armor and came to the school field to supervise the training of the soldiers in the barracks himself. He changed a weapon on his waist. It was originally a sword and now he had a knife hanging.

The scabbard is already very worn, and it is still not very beautiful when repaired.

However, few people noticed this detail, only some generals who got closer noticed it.

In the cold light rain, Zhou Mengxiong was also standing in the rain. Even if the soldiers felt bitter, they couldn't complain. No matter how expensive they were, could they be as expensive as the middle-aged coach?

After each sentry lined up first, Zhou Mengxiong said a few simple words in the rain: This general has no other twists and turns in the army. He is just strict with himself, obeying orders, and sharing weal and woe. I usually treat you like my own sons, but no matter who dares to disobey the military orders, he will be in my hands. Even if he is really a real son, he will never be merciless!There are also those who dare to drink soldiers' blood and are greedy for life and fear of death. It is best to be careful not to hit me.

Zhou Mengxiong was half a head tall, with a big beard all over his mouth, a fierce face, and his voice was like a bell. He was so scared that a group of soldiers were stunned in the rain that they didn't dare to move.

Don’t complain if you get whipped on the school ground, you’ll lose your head when you go to the battle formation!Can't stand it and get out as soon as possible!

Zhou Mengxiong pressed his hand on the hilt of the knife, thought for a while, and waved his hand. After saying that, he trained according to the rules and stewed braised pork at night.

When the braised pork was heard, the group of people below became a little more energetic.The school ground gradually became lively amid the whistle.
