These days, news about the white-clothed army, keep coming. The defenders of Guyuan Town, although trying to block the news, did not let the soldiers below know the truth. However, how can there be an impermeable wall in the world? Especially in this turbulent time, even many high-ranking officers of the Ming army were disheartened and found another way out, so naturally they would not keep it secret. As a result, the news that the white-clothed army had defeated Lin Dan Khan and defeated Mo Yuegen successively let the soldiers below know. It is conceivable what kind of shock these news will bring to them.

No matter what kind of army it is, their grassroots soldiers are eager to win battles. These Ming troops in Yang Lang Zhongbao are of course no exception. The Ming army in the northwest was often bullied by the Tartars. Their greatest wish is actually to kill the Tartars. It's a pity that before, they never had such an opportunity. Only after the appearance of the White Clothes Army did this wish become a reality. If there is an opportunity to abuse the Tartars, I am afraid that all the soldiers will not refuse.

Under the guidance of such an ideology, most of the soldiers in Guyuan Town had more or less the idea of defecting to the white-clothed army. Judging from the current situation, the army of the imperial court is not the opponent of the white-clothed army at all. Defecting to the White Army, there is no risk, only profit. Who wouldn't be tempted by such a good thing?

"Da Da Da!"

Suddenly, there was the sound of horses' hooves.

The soldiers on the open space inside Yang Langzhong Fort hurriedly went up to the city wall and looked outside. It turned out that several cavalrymen of the White Army appeared. These wandering white-clothed cavalry are all skirmishers of the Vulture Cavalry. After returning from Gansu Town, they were on the border of Ningxia Town, monitoring the enemy's movements. The direction of Guyuan Town is naturally closely monitored.

"Brother of the White Army, we have no malicious intent, we just want to ask, what's wrong with Gansu Town?" The loud-voiced Ming Jun suddenly shouted.

"Liu Fengxi is dead, Li Guozhen is dead, Li Maohui is gone!" A high-pitched Vulture Cavalry skirmish stepped forward and responded casually.

"Oh!" All the Ming soldiers nodded subconsciously.

The white-clothed army made a move, and it was really extraordinary. Both commanders died, and one of the remaining governors ran away. Since they ended up like this, it is estimated that Mo Yuegen's fate will not be much better. The white-clothed army is indeed the white-clothed army, amazing! Cleaning up the tartar is like cleaning up a little kid, it doesn't take much effort at all.

"Brother of the White Army, if we take refuge in the past, will you be welcome?" The loud voice continued to shout. There were several officers standing beside him, but they didn't seem to hear him at all.

"You've said that, can we still not welcome you? Do you want to see you put to death by your superiors? Several of the Eagle Cavalry skirmishers laughed.

This guy who shouted even said such things, and if he didn't take refuge in him, he would wait to be executed by his own commander. Surrendering to the enemy before the battle is a crime of immediate execution. However, those officers of the Ming army did not mean to deal with him at all. It seems that all this has nothing to do with them at all. Their eyes are simply transparent.

The loud-voiced Ming army really packed up his things, left Yang Langzhong Fort, and went to the white-clothed army. Soon, he mounted the war horse provided by the cavalry of the White Army and disappeared from the sight of the others. The other Ming soldiers, although they were a little yearning and a little envious, did not take this step after all. It's okay to think about it, and when it comes to actually doing it, they don't have the guts. This is also a common behavior of the vast majority of people.

"Oh no, there's someone coming from behind!"

Suddenly, someone screamed loudly.

Those officers were taken aback and hurriedly looked behind, and sure enough, they saw that behind Yang Lang Zhongbao, a team of dozens of people appeared. In the middle, there seems to be a civil official. When the defense officer of Yang Langzhong Fort saw it, he was immediately startled. God, it's Shaanxi envoy Zhu Xieyuan who is here! Such a big official actually came to Yang Lang Zhongbao! Could it be that the boss has already learned that someone in Yang Lang Zhongbao has defected to the enemy and came to deal with it in person?

In fact, they were completely wrong. Zhu Xieyuan's arrival has nothing to do with surrendering to the enemy before the battle. He came to find Xu Xingxia. For Xu Xingxia's sake, Zhu Xieyuan's hair has fallen out more than half. From the beginning, neither he nor Huang Kezhang expected that Xu Xingxia would make such a big move. In particular, the loss of Yulin City was a great dispatch to Zhu Xieyuan. Huang Kezhang was almost hit to the point of illness.

After the fall of Yulin City, the four towns in the northwest, only Guyuan Town was supported by reading power. However, everyone knows that Guyuan Town can't stop Xu Xingxia at all. Even Lin Dan Khan and Mo Yuegen couldn't stop Xu Xingxia, let alone others? Huang Kezhang couldn't afford to fall ill, and all major military and political affairs were handed over to Zhu Xieyuan. That's what the Cabinet means. Huang Kezhang retreated, and Zhu Xieyuan stepped on top, trying his best to control what happened in Shaanxi and solve it in Shaanxi. What the cabinet is most worried about is the internal erosion in Shaanxi and the turmoil in the whole country, which will be bad.

However, Zhu Xieyuan has no choice in the face of this mess. The combat effectiveness of the white-clothed army is indeed too strong, and it is almost impossible to solve the problem by attacking it militarily. The combat effectiveness of the imperial army, no matter how strong it is, is not as strong as Mo Yuegen and Lin Dan Khan. On the contrary, the more you attack, the stronger Xu Xingxia's counterattack will be, and the more places you will lose. In the end, it is very likely that even Xi'an Mansion will not be able to be saved. Frankly speaking, in Zhu Xieyuan's opinion, if Xu Xingxia is interesting, it will hardly be a problem to conquer Guyuan Town and Xi'an Mansion in one fell swoop.

There was no way, Zhu Xieyuan decided to talk to Xu Xingxia in person. Wu can't do it, so I have to write a letter. He hopes to solve the problem by appeasement. Last time, through Liu Zhiqiang, he already knew that Xu Xingxia was sincere in negotiating, and it seemed that he was willing to accept the appeasement. It's just that his asking price is really a bit high. The chief military officer of the three towns, that is, the former envoy of the Three Towns Festival. He would never dare to set such a precedent. In case His Majesty the Emperor pursues it, it will be a big trouble. It is estimated that the Cabinet and the Sixth Ministry will not agree.

"Who are you? Hold it! When the stragglers of the vulture cavalry saw Zhu Xieyuan appear, they immediately raised their muskets and stopped Zhu Xieyuan and the others.

"This official is the Shaanxi Inspector!" Zhu Xieyuan hurriedly said. At the same time, he signaled to his subordinates not to make hostile movements. In case it is misunderstood by the white army, it will be troublesome. He had also heard of the power of the muskets in white.

The eagle skirmish shouted, "Who do you care?" What are you doing? ”

While he shouted loudly, dozens of stragglers of the Vulture Cavalry appeared behind him. For the sake of safety, the skirmishers of the Vulture Cavalry never act alone. It's usually a squad activity as a whole. There are about 60 people in a team, and the overall combat effectiveness is still good. Even if you encounter a formed enemy cavalry, you can easily fight.

Zhu Xieyuan said: "On behalf of the Governor of the Three Sides, I request a meeting with your family. Believe me, there is absolutely no malice. ”

The leader of the squad leading the Vulture Cavalry patrol stepped forward and said awe-inspiringly: "Regardless of whether you have malicious intentions or not, according to the regulations, you must lay down all your weapons and equipment. ”

Zhu Xieyuan is in the back of Nunu's mouth. The retinue all laid down their weapons in good spirits.

The captain of the vulture cavalry waved his hand and asked his soldiers to put away all their weapons, and then said coldly: "Come with us!" ”

Zhu Xieyuan took a soft breath, urged the war horse, and followed behind the vulture cavalry.

...... "Xia'er, your face is not very good, didn't you sleep well at night?" Or was you too tired when you were in Gansu Town before? Xu Fuqing said with concern.

"Oh...... It's okay...... I'm just a little tired......" Xu Xingxia said casually. It is true that he didn't sleep well last night, and he was overworked, but the object of his labor is a little special. However, the details in this must not be told to your father.

In order to complete the task given by Tesna as soon as possible, he was able to do his duty last night, and almost used up the strength to feed. Of the twenty-four slave girls, four were the leaders, carefully selected by Tessna. Last night, Xu Xingxia's task was to accept their dedication as the sun god. Pampering four virgins at once is indeed a small challenge. Fortunately, with the help of Tessna, the task was successfully completed.

Xu Xingxia came to find his father, mainly to learn about the production of glass and bone china. Due to the emergence of steelmaking blast furnaces, the output of craftsmen's workshops has increased significantly. At this point, another bottleneck emerged. That's the money. The production of weapons and equipment requires the consumption of a lot of money. Xu Xingxia's current stable financial resources are actually only one glass. Of course, he had to pay special attention. It's a veritable cash cow!

Fortunately, he was here with his father, and all he heard was good news. According to Xu Fuqing, the output of the glass factory has more than doubled compared to before. The Lin family's sales ability is also very strong, and they have bought all the glass that has twice the output. The quality of white marble porcelain is also constantly improving. There are craftsmen who have already designed some nice utensils and are just waiting to be formed. However, white marble porcelain is a brand new porcelain, and it is still a bit difficult to really promote it. Xu Fuqing is only responsible for production, sales or something, that is Xu Xingxia's business.

Xu Xingxia pondered and said, "In this way, get me a few sets of good-looking white marble porcelain, and I'll put them in the study." From now on, we will use white marble porcelain at home, and all white marble porcelain will be used for entertaining guests. In addition, get a few sets for Mrs. Lin. ”

White marble porcelain is something like it must be popularized before it can be accepted by the broad masses of the people. And the celebrity effect is one of the methods of promotion. Xu Xingxia wanted to use it himself, and he also had to pull Mrs. Lin up. If there are other celebrities, pull them up as well. But thinking about it, it seems that there are no other celebrities.

Xu Fuqing suddenly said, "Xia'er, when did you go home?" ”

Xu Xingxia glanced at his father blankly, and said casually: "I've always been at home!" ”

Xu Fuqing hurriedly said: "You and Xiao Niang ......"

Xu Xingxia shook his head and said, "I didn't see her!" ”

Xu Fuqing said regretfully: "It's really strange. This little lady knew that you were back, but she suddenly disappeared, and she didn't know what was going on. ”

Xu Xingxia thought to herself, it's good if she disappears. To be honest, since having those female slaves that Tesna bought, Xu Xingxia felt that he was already very barren of silver. If it's not necessary, don't spoil other girls. Otherwise, there will be a sense of guilt. Besides, others also have to find their own happiness. It's so good that she disappeared on her own initiative, and she doesn't need to explain it yet. However, it's also strange, what kind of relative is this Lin Xiaoniang who needs such a secret?

Xu Fuqing suddenly said: "Xia'er, is there a woman named Tesna who has a good relationship with you?" Supposedly, you still live together? ”

Xu Xingxia knew that he couldn't hide it from his father. Originally, the matter of Tesna had already been rumored, and the whole army in white knew about it. Even if Xu Fuqing didn't listen to what was going on outside the window, he would definitely know about it. He was already in a hurry to hug his grandson, how could he let it go when he heard such news? Naturally, it is necessary to explore in detail.

"Ahem," Xu Xingxia said honestly, "we do live together." ”

Xu Fuqing didn't blame his son at all, but said impatiently: "Then dare to be kind, when will you bring it home?" Let my father and mother also take a look? ”

Xu Xingxia pondered for a moment, and said with a little hesitation: "Dad, you have to be mentally prepared, she is a Tatar!" Will you accept her? ”

Xu Fuqing said disappreciably: "Isn't she a woman?" What does it matter? ”

This is the most typical male psychology. They all hated the Tatar men, but they did not hate the Tatar women, and they wanted to keep them for themselves. It's like many people in later generations who hate the men of the island country, and they still welcome the women of the island country...... Xu Xingxia said: "It's no problem to bring it back, I'm afraid that my mother will have an opinion." ”

Xu Fuqing immediately patted his chest and said, "This is a good thing, how can your mother have an opinion?" She wishes you could have a grandchild right now...... I said, do you have to find a way to give us an explanation? Regardless of the male grandchildren and grandchildren, we have to give birth to one for us to see, you look at the children of the big chun, they can already walk, your mother's itchy ......"

Xu Xingxia hurriedly said: "Dad, don't worry, I understand the mood of you and your mother." In this way, next year, next year, I will definitely hold my grandson! I promise, I won't lie to you! ”

Getting Tesna pregnant is not a big problem. At present, he is intimate with Tessna, and it is Tesna who secretly takes measures. As long as Tesna doesn't take action, there's no problem. For the request to have a child, it is estimated that she will not be unwilling. If the child she gave birth to was a boy, I am afraid that it would be the eldest son. I really didn't expect that I actually gave birth to a firstborn son with a Tatar woman. That's not bad, though. Since he has Tatar blood, he will be king of the Tatars in the future.

I can't help but think of the majestic Forbidden City and the beautiful shadow again. I have tossed so many things recently, but I am afraid that the distance from her is getting farther and farther. Due to the exposure of Wang Qinian's identity, Jingshi's Jinyi Wei has cut off contact with Wang Qinian. It is completely impossible for him to contact her through Wang Qinian's way.

Perhaps, this is what you gain and what you lose. God can't put all the benefits on you, right?
