Wang Xinyu turned the whole of Guangdong upside down and took the people to Qiongzhou. When he arrived in Qiongzhou, Wang Xinyu took people to decorate the original general military mansion of Gao Jinku, and prepared to move here with his family after he got married. Because there is still more than a year to go at most, there will be a showdown with Zheng Jing. Now Wang Xinyu is ready to move to Qiongzhou to stand on his own.

Originally, the mansion of Gao Jinku was the Qiongya Town Shoufu, located in the city of Qiongzhou Prefecture, which was a building in the Jiajing period and was a three-entry compound. Since Zhu Zhiguang did not set fire to the city when he was defeated, the facilities of Qiongya Town were intact and did not suffer any damage.

After the Ming army invaded the capital of Qiongzhou, all the gold and silver treasures in the treasury became Wang Xinyu's trophies, and the treasured antiques, flowers, birds, calligraphy and paintings in the mansion were intact. After the Ming army entered the city, Gao Jinku's concubine in Xinna, Qiongzhou also remarried someone else, and Wang Xinyu became the new master of the Qiongya Town Guard. The work of redecoration is also very simple, just clean up, paint the place that should be painted, repair the place where it is repaired, and the original furniture inside does not need to be moved, just use the original.

However, living in the capital of Qiongzhou is only a temporary residence, Wang Xinyu plans to develop Haikou Weisuo City near the capital city of Qiongzhou and turn it into a port city, and Haikou City will become the central city of Hainan in the future. The newly built mansion, located in the Haikou Guard City, is a three-story building with a view of the sea.

After staying in Qiongzhou for three days, Wang Xinyu returned to Xiamen with the special combat team.

Back in Xiamen, it was the eighth day of the second month of the lunar calendar, and the third month of the Gregorian calendar. The time when Zheng Chenggong sent troops to attack Dongfan Island is getting closer and closer, and the time in the original history is the same as the time set by Zheng Chenggong to send troops on the 23rd day of the second month of the lunar calendar, and there is still half a month left, and he will go east to attack Dongfan Island.

Back home, Wang Xinyu was busy preparing for marriage.

This marriage is a very troublesome thing, the two sides have exchanged birthdays, and the Wang family sent silk, jewelry, gift cakes and pigs and sheep to the Zheng family as a fixed appointment. After that, he gave a dowry of silver, silk, sesame oil, and beef. Then set a date. Mrs. Wang has already done these gift-giving things, and Wang Xinyu just needs to wait to get married. But he still has to be busy, decorating his new house, writing invitations, preparing clothes and hats for the newlywed, etc.

There are already witnesses, and Chen Jinnan volunteered to be a witness.

Wang Xinyu also invited Qian Mo, Shen Yuxiao, Du Dengchun and others, who were temporarily stationed on Shangchuan Island, to attend the wedding.

"Mother, after the child gets married, our family will move to Qiongzhou, and the child is also the chief soldier over there. Gotta live there. When he was in his spare time, Wang Xinyu mentioned to his mother about moving to Qiongzhou.

Who knew that Mrs. Wang said: "Yu'er, you are the chief soldier of Qiongzhou, you should take your wife over there." But I'm old, and your brother is in Kinmen, if I go there, won't your brother be left alone if he goes home to visit his family? Mother just stay here to watch the house, you take the newlywed lady, and the two of you can just go over. ”

Mrs. Wang insisted on refusing to move. Wang Xinyu didn't have much advice. He couldn't say to his mother: King Yanping will be gone in more than a year, and we will definitely have to turn against Zheng Jing at that time. If so. must have been scolded by his mother, scolding him for cursing King Yanping with nonsense. If you say that because you want to be self-reliant, you want your family to move away. That will also be scolded by his mother for being unkind and unjust, and trying to betray the lord. Wang Xinyu thought for a while, since his mother refused to go. I think it's better to bring my family over after a while.

After getting married, Wang Xinyu had to assist Zheng Chenggong to attack Dongfan Island.

In real history, Zheng Chenggong attacked Dongfan Island, and just one Hector sank more than 30 ships of the Zheng family's army, causing more than 1,000 casualties of the Ming army. Now with Wang Xinyu's Marine Corps Special Forces, it is impossible to let this phenomenon happen! Wang Xinyu's plan was to use the naval special combat team to attack the Dutch fleet, which would reduce a lot of trouble.

Zheng Jiajun also faced a great difficulty, that is, the castle of the Dutch.

The castles built by the Dutch, such as Prominsia, Geranza, and Ulletcht Fort, are all Western-style prismatic stone castles, which are exceptionally strong, equipped with a large number of artillery, and dense shooting holes, which are conducive to the defense of firearms troops. To attack such a castle, the Ming army would pay an extremely heavy price.

Wang Xinyu already has a new type of explosives in his hands that can blow up the castle, but the old-fashioned tunnel excavation method is not only time-consuming, but once it is discovered by the Dutch, as long as the trench is dug to block the offensive method of tunnel excavation and blasting.

To conquer the castle, a new siege mortar must be forged.

Wang Xinyu took a break from his busy schedule and went to the artillery factory to inspect the progress of the casting of siege mortars.

Chen Shuijie was very surprised when he saw Wang Xinyu coming: "General Wang is about to get married, why didn't he prepare at home, and came to the artillery factory?" ”

Wang Xinyu replied solemnly: "The official is going to my father-in-law's house, and I will pass by here to have a look." Our army will soon attack Dongfan Island, and if this siege weapon can be equipped in large quantities, it can reduce the losses of our army. So the official came over to take a look. ”

Chen Shuijie told him: "The mold of the mortar has been cast, and we will be able to cast the mortar from today." ”

"In a few days, I will come over and test the cannon myself, and in addition, you will cast a batch of flowering cannonballs and hand them over to the Alchemy Academy to charge. With this kind of sharp weapon, you are not afraid that you will not be able to attack the castle of the red-haired ghost. ”

These siege mortars were only four times the calibre, and at the tail was a very narrow chamber in which the propellant was loaded. Because the mortar cannon has a thick barrel and a large bore pressure, it does not need a long barrel to accelerate, so it does not need too much propellant.

For all tubular firearms, the projectile is accelerated in the tube, and after the projectile leaves the gun, it begins to decelerate under air resistance, so the longer the barrel of the firearm, the greater the acceleration that can be obtained in the tube, and the higher the muzzle velocity.

This short-barreled mortar has the following advantages: the first advantage is that because the barrel is short, after the shell is loaded into the muzzle, the fuse of the flowering shell can be ignited from the muzzle, and the success rate of the explosion after the shell is fired is almost 100%, unlike the flowering shell with a wooden butt used in cannons, whether the fuse can be lit depends on luck. The second advantage is that the flowering shells can be made very large and the charge is sufficient. The power of the cannonballs is great.

However, Wang Xinyu didn't dare to stay in the gun factory for too long, after all, marriage is a major event in life, and after taking a look, he went to Zhengfu to meet his parents-in-law.

When he arrived at Zheng's mansion and met his father-in-law and mother-in-law, Wang Xinyu kowtowed to the two elders and sat down in the lower seat. Zheng Xingying simply asked Wang Xinyu about making trouble in Guangdong, and when he heard the news that the Qing court's Guangdong sailors were all wiped out, Zheng Xingying clapped his hands and said: "Good!" This battle is indeed very well arranged! The Tartar Guangdong sailors were all wiped out. What a joy! The prince really didn't see the wrong person! In the future, the virtuous nephew will have a great strategy! Yun'er is following you, she is following the right person! ”

"Thank you, father-in-law, for the compliment!" Wang Xinyu arched his hand.

Zheng Xingying said with a smile: "Actually, we also sent news from the inside line of Tartar, originally the prince wanted to give you another reward, but considering that the virtuous nephew is about to get married, I will delay this matter for the time being, and wait until the day you get married, and then reward it together!" This time you're going to be promoted to the governor of Qiongzhou! ”

Wang Xinyu was taken aback: "Father-in-law, this is also rising too fast, right?" It's only been a few days since the little nephew was promoted to the chief soldier! ”

"Hahaha!" Zheng Xingying stroked his beard and smiled, "I won't promote you to the rank of admiral this time." I'm sorry for your great work this time! Do you know who your fleet killed when they bombarded Dinghaimen? ”

"Who was killed?" Wang Xinyu hurriedly asked.

"Killed the Governor of Liangguang of the Tartars, and also killed the two commanders of the Tartars. Two generals and one adjutant general! In addition, Shang Kexi, the king of the Tartar puppet Pingnan, was seriously injured, and according to our inside information, the old turtle had a broken leg. One eye is blind too! I was in a coma for several days and almost died! Although he is not dead now, he is already a waste! Zheng Xingying said with a smile. Virtuous nephew, you say, how can you not give you a commander with such a great achievement? The prince also sent a messenger to Burma to ask the court for a reward, and wanted to reward you with the title of a duke. ”

Wang Xinyu was stunned, he didn't expect Zhang Yukun to make such a big contribution! killed the governor of Liangguang, and almost killed Shang Kexi!

Shang Ke is happy to be abolished, and his son will definitely come to succeed to the throne in advance. Then, Wang Xinyu's plan to open a cargo outlet from Guangdong to the sea is very likely to be in advance. Although Shang Zhixin is cruel and tyrannical, this person's ** for power and money is much stronger than his Lao Tzu, and a gap can be opened from him.

After Zheng Xingying chatted casually for a few more words, she said to Wang Xinyu: "The male protagonist is outside the female protagonist, Yun'er's marriage, the virtuous nephew should talk to his wife, the old man still has some things, I will not accompany him." ”

Only Wang Xinyu and Mrs. Zheng were left in the living room, and Wang Xinyu first saluted.

As the saying goes, the mother-in-law looks at her son-in-law, and the more she looks at it, the more she likes it. Mrs. Zheng looked at Wang Xinyu for a moment, and said, "Virtuous nephew, Yun'er has true feelings for you!" Virtuous nephew, you are also about to leave and take up the post of Governor of Qiongzhou! When the time comes, Yun'er will follow you there, and there will be fewer homecomings. ”

Wang Xinyu hurriedly said: "Mother-in-law, if you two elders don't dislike it, the little nephew is willing to take you to Qiongzhou." ”

Mrs. Zheng shook her head, frowned and said, "We can't go to Qiongzhou, and some things are not easy to say, as long as the virtuous nephew can treat Yun'er well, we will be relieved." ”

"Please rest assured, my mother-in-law, the little nephew and Miss Yun'er have a deep affection, she went to Qiongzhou, and the little nephew will definitely treat her well." Wang Xinyu stretched out his finger and swore.

Mrs. Zheng nodded: "I went over there, do I have a place to live?" ”

"Yes, for the time being, I will live in the Qiongya Town Shoufu. When Haikou City is completed, a new three-entry compound will be built over there, and we can move there at that time. Wang Xinyu replied.

Mrs. Zheng looked at Wang Xinyu and said with a smile: "After the marriage of the virtuous nephew, the prince of Yanping is about to attack Dongfan Island, and you and Yun'er will have to be separated for a while." So, after you get married, before you go to Dongfan Island, the two of you will have a good time for a while, and it is best to have a child as soon as possible. ”

In fact, Mrs. Zheng's idea was: Wang Yu has become a commander at a young age, and this person has a bright future, and he will definitely take a concubine in the future. If the daughter did not give birth to an eldest son, she was preempted by the concubine, and the daughter would not have a good time in the future!

Of course, Wang Xinyu didn't know what Mrs. Zheng really thought, and he replied: "Mother-in-law, after the little nephew gets married, he will go to prepare to assist the prince in attacking Dongfan Island, and I am afraid that I will not have much time to accompany Yun'er." But Yun'er is a good and reasonable girl, and she will definitely understand. After the juniors help the prince of Yanping to take Dongfan Island, the juniors must accompany her well. ”

"As long as you can treat Yun'er well, I'll be relieved!" Mrs. Zheng looked at her son-in-law with a smile.

On the 18th day of the second month of the lunar calendar, firecrackers rang out at the gate of the royal compound, and gongs and drums were noisy. This day was Wang Xinyu's day of great joy, and the guests came to the door one after another, in addition to the generals at all levels of Zheng Jiajun, even Zhang Huangyan and others on Zhoushan Island also made a special trip. As the man of the family, Wang Xinyu's younger brother Wang Zihao stood at the door and greeted the guests.

Wang Xinyu rode a horse wearing a red flower and went to Zheng's house to pick up relatives.

In the sound of gongs and drums, the eight sedan chairs carried the bride into Wang Xinyu's house.

"One worships heaven and earth, two worships the high hall, and husband and wife worship each other!" With the voice of Chen Jinnan's shouting, Wang Yu and Zheng Yun officially became husband and wife. After the worship was done, the bride was ushered into the cave room, and the bridegroom held a banquet outside to entertain the guests.

In the large courtyard and in the hall, there were more than 50 tables of banquets, and in the hall sat Wang Xinyu's own family, as well as people from the Zheng family, Zheng Chenggong and several admirals, as well as Fang Yizhi, Zhang Huangyan and other high-ranking officials. In the large courtyard outside, there were several of Wang Xinyu's generals, personal soldiers and officers at all levels, as well as left leaders and right houses.

After three rounds of drinking, Zheng Chenggong and generals at all levels got up to say goodbye, leaving Wang Xinyu's group of brothers still enjoying themselves.

It was dawn, and Wang Xinyu opened his eyes in a daze.

"Husband, are you awake?" A soft voice said.

"Ahh My head hurts! What happened yesterday? Wang Xinyu felt that his head was about to explode.

A pair of soft and boneless little hands pressed on Wang Xinyu's shoulders, and Zheng Yun only heard Zheng Yun say softly: "Husband, you and your gang of big-headed soldiers drank too much last night, and they came to make trouble before leaving, you don't remember anything." The concubine will help you rub it. ”

"It's much better now, but my stomach is a little uncomfortable." Wang Xinyu said.

"The concubine went to make some porridge for her husband." Zheng Yun walked out. After about a quarter of an hour, she brought back a bowl of porridge.

Wang Xinyu asked Zheng Yun to wait, drank the hot porridge, and felt a lot more comfortable. Looking at Zheng Yun's ruddy and more cute face, Wang Xinyu thought that he would go out with the army in five days, and he was very sorry for the lady, so he took Zheng Yun's little hand and said softly: "Lady, I have five days to go on the expedition, and I have to check the preparations in the next few days, and I can't accompany the lady more, I am really ashamed." ”

"Husband, in fact, the concubine body can also go into battle to kill the enemy! Now that we are married, the concubine wants to form a women's barracks. Zheng Yun's answer surprised Wang Xinyu. (To be continued......)
