The girl turned her head and stared at Wang Xinyu's eyes with shining eyes, as if to see if he would lie and deceive herself.

Wang Xinyu had no choice but to answer honestly: "Xiaosheng thinks that I am a Ming Ming!" Let my Huaxia become an empire on which the sun never sets! ”

"The sun never sets on the Empire?" Zheng Yun raised her little head curiously, and looked at Wang Xinyu with wide eyes, "What is the empire that the sun never sets that Gongzi said?" ”

Wang Xinyu picked up a small stone and scratched on the rock: "Our earth is round, twelve hours, different hours, the sun shines on different corners of the earth. The so-called empire of the sun never sets means that our territory is all over the world, and the sun will never set from my Ming territory! ”

Zheng Yun is also a girl with some knowledge, her family is originally a pirate family, and she vaguely knows a little bit about the fact that the earth is round. When she heard Wang Xinyu say that our territory is all over the world, she was very surprised: "Childe, what a great achievement this is!" I'm afraid that even the Qin Emperor and Han Wu, the Tang Sect and the Song Ancestors can't be compared! If the prince can create this great cause for the imperial court, then our emperor will not become the king of Zhongxing? That's more than any emperor in history! ”

"I didn't expect that Miss was well-informed, and she also knew that Emperor Qin, Han Wu, Tang Sect and Song Ancestor." Wang Xinyu said with a smile.

Zheng Yun lowered her head: "The little woman is lonely and unheard, where is there a son who knows more." The little woman only hopes that her son can return safely again and again and create a great cause as soon as possible! ”

Seeing that Zheng Yun's appearance was very shy and cute, the girl's fragrance stimulated Wang Xinyu's nerves. At this moment, a gust of wind blew, whisking up a wisp of green silk and floating on Wang Xinyu's face, only to feel a feeling of itching and unbearable, Wang Xinyu couldn't help but want to close his mouth to kiss the delicate little face.

"Ahh Zheng Yun turned her head suddenly, but saw that the thief's face was about to be pasted. Zheng Yun, who has practiced martial arts since childhood, reacted faster in her hands than she thought in her brain, she didn't even think about it, she stretched out her hand like lightning and slapped Wang Xinyu in the face.

After all, he is a person who practices martial arts, and this slap made Wang Xinyu's eyes glow, and he immediately left a five-finger mark on his face.

Wang Xinyu covered his face and stood up, and he was at a loss for a while.

Only then did Zheng Yun react, after all, the person in front of her was her future husband. She no longer cared about being shy, she also stood up, stretched out her hand and gently touched the place where Wang Xinyu was beaten: "Childe, all concubines are not in good health, I don't know if I hurt my son." As he spoke, he suddenly remembered something, and added with a red face: "Childe, you and I have not yet married, and after the candles in the cave room, the concubine will be picked by you." ”

This is not Wang Xinyu's previous life, this is the end of the Ming Dynasty and the beginning of the Qing Dynasty, at this time it cannot be compared with the 21st century, nor can it be compared with the openness of the Han and Tang Dynasties, even if Miss Zheng is a person who practices martial arts, it is relatively open, but it is still not allowed to do anything to her before she is married. In addition, she has a pungent personality, she used to walk on the streets, and even her splashing skin that was disrespectful and teasing her was beaten by her, not to mention that someone wanted to do something, and she slapped it without thinking about it at the time. But after the fight, Zheng Yun regretted it a little.

Wang Xinyu grabbed Zheng Yun's hand and said softly, "Miss Zheng, it's okay." As he spoke, he put a little force in his hand and took Zheng Yun into his arms.

Zheng Yun half-pushed and half-pushed his head against Wang Xinyu's arms, and said softly: "Don't bear me." ”

"No, it won't! I, Wang Yu, swear to the sky, in this life and this life, I will be unswerving to Yun'er to death! If you lose Yun'er, my Wang Yu will be punished by heaven! Wang Xinyu stretched out his right hand and pointed to the sky.

Zheng Yun hurriedly covered Wang Xinyu's mouth: "Son, don't talk nonsense!" The concubine is not an unreasonable person, and the son can take a concubine in the future. By the way, that Liu'er is good, and the son can earn it in the future. ”

"Liu'er? She's too young, isn't she? ”

"It's not small! Other people's daughters have children at her age. ”

The two hugged each other for a long time, and at this time, Zheng Yun suddenly saw out of the corner of her eyes that Liu Er appeared on the mountain road not far away, so she hurriedly pushed Wang Xinyu away: "Son, it's not too early!" If the concubine doesn't return home, her father will suspect it. ”

"Miss Zheng!" Wang Xinyu felt a little reluctant to be this pretty person.

Zheng Yun suddenly asked: "When Wang Gongzi comes back from Zhoushan, do you want to go to Nanyang?" ”

"Exactly!"

"Can you get to the southwest from the South Seas? Yun'er misses her sister so much! I hope that the son will one day take the concubine to meet his sister. Zheng Yun said quietly.

Wang Xinyu asked about the situation, it turned out that when Zheng Yun was seven years old, her thirteen-year-old sister was sent to the southwest by Zheng Chenggong, and eight years have passed, and she has never seen her sister again.

"Yun'er, I promise, one day I will be able to let you meet your sister and your little nephew!" Wang Xinyu said with an oath. He knew that after Li Dingguo's death, Li Sixing actually went against his father's last wish and surrendered to the Qing army with the remaining 1,200 men and horses, but there were still about 3,000 Miao Yao and other soldiers of various ethnic groups who were unwilling to surrender and scattered to the mountains and forests. In the future Wu Sangui anti-Qing uprising, White Lotus uprising and other anti-Qing incidents, these brave soldiers and their descendants fought bloody battles with the Qing government again and again, and even the later Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, there are also the descendants of these Miao Yao soldiers. The anti-Qing fighters carried the banner of King Jin from generation to generation, until the end of the Qing Dynasty, Cai Ye and the young Zhu D, all took Li Dingguo as an example. During the Republic of China, the Dian army, to the War of Resistance Against Japan, those soldiers in the southwest still regarded Li Dingguo as the god of war. The Han soldiers and the remnants of the Southern Ming Dynasty, who were unwilling to surrender under the Li Dingguo Department, stayed in Burma for fear of being liquidated by the Qing court and became the Kokang tribe.

The eldest lady of the Zheng family, that is, Zheng Yun's sister, seems to be unwilling to follow her husband to Qingqing, and her whereabouts are unknown. Some people say that they took their son to Taiwan, and some people say that they committed suicide and martyrdom.

Wang Xinyu has a plan in his heart: since he has come here, he must meet Li Dingguo, a national hero who can sing and cry. When the time comes, bring Zheng Yun's sister and Li Dingguo's grandson back together, and save Li Sixing from surrendering to the Manchus with his wife and children.

The city of Menggong on the border of Yunnan and Myanmar in the southwest.

Li Dingguo just killed He Jiuyi, who was hesitant and wanted to surrender.

After the bloody battle of Mopan Mountain, Li Dingguo's troops suffered heavy losses. And Emperor Yongli was greedy for life and afraid of death, so he left behind the soldiers who were fighting against the Qing Dynasty and entered Burma with a group of people. Under these circumstances, the Ming army was unstable, and many people surrendered to Wu Sangui and Hong Chengchou one after another. In order to stabilize the morale of the army, Li Dingguo killed a group of unstable elements.

At this time, the Ming army was in a worrying situation, and Li Dingguo had to train and stabilize the morale of the army, and he was already physically and mentally haggard.

In Menggong City, Li Dingguo, who had gone through a catastrophe, could be said to be destitute, and there was no silver in his pocket. Because of the difficulty of supply, the Ming army had a hard time, and they ate rice bran and wheat bran every day, and even rotten vegetable leaves, wild vegetables, and tree bark. Even the Jin Palace, life is not easy, you can eat buckwheat black buns, and drink gruel that is so thin that you can show the shadow of a person, even if it is a very good life.

"The Son of Heaven has abandoned the country, and I don't know why my father is still loyal to this court! Such a hard life, when is it the end! Li Sixing vented his dissatisfaction with his father to his wife.

The eldest lady of the Zheng family said: "Husband, my father-in-law is a lonely and loyal minister!" Although the concubine is a little woman, she still understands the truth of loyalty and patriotism. ”

Li Sixing saw that he couldn't talk about his wife, and he had nothing to say. In fact, Li Sixing also had the idea of surrendering, but when he saw that those people at both ends of the rat head were killed by his father's cane, and the bloody corpses were still placed at the city gate, he didn't dare to have such thoughts again.

At this time, someone outside came to report: "Zhang Shangshu and the messenger of King Yanping are here!" ”

Li Sixing asked his soldiers to tell the messenger: "Father is training outside the west gate of the city!" But after thinking about it, since it was someone sent by Zheng Chenggong and Zhang Huangyan, it was not easy to slack off, so he personally brought a messenger to see his father.

After meeting the messenger, Li Sixing personally took the messenger to his father's barracks.

"Father! The Southeast Messenger arrives! Li Sixing saluted his father.

"Biography!"

"Courier!"

"You stand down first!" Li Dingguo said to his son.

"No!" Li Sixing withdrew.

Li Dingguo personally walked out of the door of the big tent and invited two messengers to his big tent of the Chinese army: "Two, please inside!" ”

"Lord Wang, what a victory! Great victory in the southeast! After entering the Great Tent, the messenger reported to Li Dingguo the situation of the battle in the southeast.

Li Dingguo stood up excitedly and arched his hand facing the southwest: "The imperial court is blessed!" God bless me with another great victory! The Tartars originally wanted to treat Xiamen as a cliff mountain! It's a pity they miscalculated! Ha ha! Kill so many Tartars, be happy! ”

Zheng Chenggong's messenger said: "Lord, the prince of Yanping sent a lowly post this time, in addition to reporting the good news, there is also a major event: Xiamen is a great victory, the Tartars are unable to offend my Jinxia again, and Penghu is as stable as a mountain." Prince Yanping and Lord Zhang both wanted to take the emperor to Penghu. When you get there, surrounded by the sea, the Tartars have lost all their sailors, and they are powerless to attack, so we can guarantee the emperor's safety! ”

Li Dingguo's excited expression just now dimmed again: "I'm afraid the two of you are going to be disappointed!" This king also persuaded the long-lived lord that he was willing to send elite troops to protect the emperor to the southeast. But the emperor didn't listen. Now that the emperor has arrived in Ava, the Burmese have taken him in. The king heard from the envoy sent by the imperial court that the emperor would rather stay in Ava than come back. Since it is a messenger sent by King Yanping and Lord Zhang, this king will let people persuade the emperor again. ”

The two said, "We are also about to go to Ava to see the emperor, and we will also go together to persuade him." ”

Li Dingguo didn't have anything good to entertain the two messengers here, so he had to let people go up the mountain to hunt game.

When the messenger saw Li Dingguo's army, although they were in rags, they were still very full of spirit, and every soldier revealed a murderous aura, and these soldiers were veterans of a hundred battles.

In addition to the Han soldiers, Li Dingguo's army also had many Miao and Yao soldiers, although these soldiers also wore the red clothing of the Ming army, but their heads had the colors representing their own people, some red, some blue, and some dark blue. Only the Yao people, there are Pai Yao, Guo Shan Yao, etc., although they are all Yao people, but the color is different, Guo Shan Yao is a blue headdress, Pai Yao is a red headdress.

"Don't underestimate these Yao soldiers, each of them is an elite!" Li Dingguo said proudly to the messenger.

The Yao people grew up in the mountains since childhood, and the mountain and forest warfare is their strength, these Yao soldiers, they fought side by side with the Han and Miao people, killing traitors and the Manmeng Eight Banners, and once fought the green camp and the corpses of the Eight Banners were all over the field and the blood flowed like a river. Since the end of the Southern Song Dynasty, these ethnic minorities in the south have fought side by side with the Han Chinese, resisting foreign invasions in the south again and again.

The messengers stayed in Menggong for only one day, and the next day Li Dingguo sent two messengers to escort them to Ava to report the victory to Yongli and ask for a reward.

But less than five days later, the king of Yanping sent another messenger. To Li Dingguo's surprise, this messenger came all the way for a person's reward!

"Wang Yu? Why hadn't this king heard his name before? Just for him, King Yanping sent you thousands of miles to the southwest? Li Dingguo was very surprised.

The messenger replied: "Back to the prince! This Wang Yu is incredible! It was the flowering shells he made that made the Tartars suffer heavy losses at sea! And this time he landed in the clouds, and the fortified city that the Tartars spent a year building was broken by him in three days! What's even more rare is that there were more than 5,000 people defending the city, and he only led more than 6,000 people to attack the city! ”

The teacup in Li Dingguo's hand almost fell to the ground: "It only took three days for 6,000 people to attack the fortified city of 5,000 people?" What a powerful person is this? Is it a trick to open the gates of the city? ”

"No, it's the technique of acupuncture."

"Cave attack? Can a three-day attack break through a strong city? But he was only 6,000 people, how did he do that? ”

"It looks like gunpowder exploded."

"Gunpowder?" Li Dingguo shook his head, "How is it possible?" The king also tried to blow up the city walls with gunpowder, but to no avail. However, with a trebuchet, you can use a gunpowder canister to explode in the city, but the power is too small, and it can only kill and injure the defenders at the head of the city, but cannot break the city. ”

"It's true! It is indeed a city broken by gunpowder! The messenger said firmly.

Li Dingguo said: "There is really such a strange person, if there is a chance, this king would like to meet it!" ”
