After the bloody battle of Beiping, Li Jinglong prepared to fight again in the coming year in Dezhou Mansion, Shandong, and King Yan was also actively preparing for war. Since the Battle of Jingyan, a series of major battles and hundreds of thousands of troops have caused great losses to Beiping Prefecture and the entire Henan and Hebei provinces.

When the official army was defeated and retreated, Liu Jing offered a plan to draw salaries from the bottom of the kettle, and took advantage of the situation to coerce more than 100,000 people to go south. It was also because of the retreat of the Yan army at that time that civilian thieves flocked everywhere, and the casualties were not small, and the losses of property and other losses were incalculable.

The large-scale reduction of the population undoubtedly gave the Yan King who had won successive battles a blow, and in the long run, even if he won more big victories, he could not make up for the unsustainability of food and soldiers, and in the final analysis, the number of people under his rule was the foundation of the struggle for the world.

Zhu Di, who had learned from the pain, decided to defend against the enemy in the future, and could no longer let the officers and soldiers drive in until it was absolutely necessary, so he continuously dispatched generals to garrison the important town pass with heavy troops to hold the main transportation routes.

In order to enrich the population, tens of thousands of military households and ordinary people in Daning Mansion were relocated, and tens of thousands of people from Shanhaiguan to Huailai were also relocated one after another.

Xu Hao knew that Zhu Di had no choice but to transfer the population of Daning, but in the long run, it would do more harm than good, and Zhu Di allowed a large number of Mongols to enter the customs in order to entrap the Duoyanwei cavalry in the army.

Xu Hao does not oppose the relocation of foreign races to Beiping Province, the integration of various ethnic groups is a good thing not a bad thing, narrow and radical nationalism is unacceptable, anyway, the proportion of Han people in Beiping occupies the absolute majority, there have always been a large number of loyal Mongolian generals in the Yan army, there are also Jurchen Koreans and other ethnic minorities, since the founding of the country in the past 30 years, the beginning of the residence and behavior is basically no different from the Han people.

The problem is that a large number of pro-Ming Mongols leaving the steppe will inevitably greatly weaken their already unstable control, just like a beast that has been tamed for more than ten years, and will regain its wildness after leaving the captivity of its master for as little as a year and a half and a while or as long as three or five years.

Xu Hao somewhat realized the deep meaning and helplessness of the first emperor Zhu Yuanzhang, and the reuse of military generals to defend the border passes could easily cause a chaotic situation of warlord secession, and the reuse of conservative and enterprising civil officials may reproduce the humiliation of the Song Dynasty. Only letting his sons out to control the generals was the most reassuring to him, and the worst thing was that the meat was stopped in the pot.

It's a pity that his old man has just passed away, Zhu Yunwen can't wait to cut the domain, and Zhu Di can't wait to be the emperor, even if this generation of royal families does not kill each other, sooner or later there will be a second martyrdom, because people's ambitions are endless.

In the final analysis, the feudal dynasty is born with fatal flaws, and in addition, China's territory is too big and too difficult to govern. So that the dynasties and dynasties that have produced many capable people can no longer change the fate of division and integration.

Xu Hao didn't dare to hope to change the national system from the top down, because if he was so radical, the chance of him and his entire family becoming martyrs was as high as 200%.

In the first month, Xu Hao, who was very worried, once again walked to Linglong Jingzhai, where Cuiliu and her little aunt Xu Miaojin, who led the hair and practiced, lived here, Hongchen's family rarely had a quiet place, and every time he came, he could give him peace of mind.

The temperature in the building was just right, and the best thing was that none of the subordinates were noisy, Xu Hao took off his cloak and hung it on the wall.

Three spotless flower pavilions on the second floor. Hanging the curtain of Xiangfei bamboo, the room on the right is living Xiao Yushi, for the cousin who has guarded him for many years, Xu Hao knows that it is time to give her an explanation.

What else can't be seen by those who have experienced the test of life and death? What's more, Xu Hao is bent on building a family that is not affected by the change of dynasties. Despite the shamelessness, it is a must to cast a wide net and sow diligently.

Xu Miaojin wore a ginkgo shirt today, covered with an ink-colored flowered bicarapace, and a pleated and butterfly skirt. Opposite sat Cui Liu, who was also dressed in the same costume, and the two were writing with a pen.

Xiao Yushi Yingying, who was wiping the doors and windows, came over and said softly, "I'll make you tea." You can go into the house by yourself. ”

Xu Hao patted his cousin's buttocks, which made Xiao Yushi surprised and delighted, lowered her head and went downstairs with a smile.

Xu Hao raised his feet and walked behind Xu Miaojin, leaned over to take a look, "Heaven - earth, who is the leading edge and who is the unlucky?" In the end, it was a general Zen that didn't matter, and it was in vain to laugh at people. To sleep with a pair of mandarin ducks, who knows me, it is also empty. ”

looked at Cuiliu again, which had a lot to do with him, "Endless lovesick blood and tears throw red beans, and the undefeated spring willows and autumn flowers are full of paintings." When the screen window is blown endlessly, I can't forget the new sorrow and old hatred, and I can't swallow the jade elixir in my throat. I can't open my brows, and I can't wait for Xiaochou. There are also unstoppable green mountains, and the green water that flows continuously. ”

Xu Miaojin raised his head and said embarrassedly: "I was actually broken by you, and my cultivation in the past few years is just a dream, and I can't make up my mind to become a monk after all." ”

Xu Hao said seriously: "You have never suffered or sinned since you were born, let alone a great calamity, and you have not been hurt by love, why should a girl in the flower season become a monk?" ”

"Alas!" Xu Miaojin sighed faintly, and stopped talking.

Xu Cuiliu got up and pulled Xu Hao aside and said, "Don't you know? The princess was sick in bed and intended to welcome her little aunt into the palace, and my wife took the opportunity to think about sending me in. ”

Xu Hao's expression was very strange, and he squinted his eyes and said: "Zhang Hai is also said to be preparing to enter the palace, the elders have a good calculation, isn't it completely messed up with this generation?" Don't be anxious, King Yan won't be nostalgic for women in the past two years, but you can't say for sure. ”

"Really?" Xu Cuiliu was immediately overjoyed.

Xu Haoxin said that he didn't know if Zhu Di could still be humane? It's okay if you can't give birth to children, you can't have sex to ask for so many concubines for face, it's too much, thinking of this, he shook his head slightly, and asked, "You hate men so much?" You don't even see a male cat except me, weird? ”

Xu Cuiliu chuckled, and said with a smile: "It's because I've been messing with you for so long that I hate men more and more, hum!" ”

Xu Hao said helplessly: "I admit that I have a problem with the eldest brother and second brother, you can scold me for being lustful and shameless, but there are men in this world who are dedicated and consistent, and it is not difficult to find them." ”

Xu Cuiliu said unhappily: "You just want to marry me off like that?" Can't you stay at home and be an old girl all your life? Why do you have to get married? ”

Xu Hao said happily: "This idea is right, what's the big deal if you don't get married?" My sister I raised, who dares to talk too much? ”

Xu Miaojin's expression was very incredible, even if he had heard that his nephew was different from others recently, he didn't expect it to be even more deviant than Cuiliu, but such a nephew made him feel happy, and he was also a fellow believer who was not bound by etiquette.

"Auntie, I can't be the master, Cuiliu can." Xu Hao turned his head and was a little apologetic, "You have to think about this matter for yourself, after all, I am a junior." ”

Xu Miaojin said calmly: "Let's talk about it in two years." ”

At this moment, Xiao Yushi walked in with fragrant tea and said, "Where is my sister-in-law?" ”

"I went to the palace early in the morning to visit the princess, and my sister-in-law also went."

Xu Hao stretched out his hand to take the blue and white tea cup, and found that Yushi had changed into a new dress, a delicate little cotton jacket embroidered by Parrot Brother Luxiang, a sky-blue goose yellow shoulder, and a white silk scarf around his neck, which looked fresh and lovely.

There were only four of them in the whole room, Xu Hao sat down and said with a smile: "There is no maid, everything is done by yourself, compared to you, I am getting more and more unbearable now, and I am used to being served by others in everything." ”

Xu Miaojin sat down in full clothes and raised his hand to place the chess pieces, "We have even experienced the battlefield, what else can't we do?" Besides, I have lived alone since I was twelve years old, and I am busy cleaning the house and washing clothes all day, and it is best to pass the free time. ”

Xu Hao took the lead in the black, turned the cannon sideways, and said: "Let the subordinates do the heavy work, this matter is not negotiable." ”

"Overbearing!" Xu Miaojin said cautiously and started to take the horse.

In this way, the two played chess, Xiao Yushi leaned quietly on Xu Hao's side, put her slender and round legs next to each other, Xu Cuiliu stood behind Xu Miaojin and watched the battle.

Suddenly, a gust of wind passed outside, and the branches of the trees were shaking, and Cuiliu said: "The clouds and fog have been cold again these days, and the weather has become worse, and it seems that it will snow again tonight." ”

Suddenly, a fragrance hit with the wind, and Xu Hao said strangely: "Where did the fragrance come from?" Good fragrance. ”

Xiao Yushi smiled: "It's the fragrance of woody flowers." ”

Xu Hao said: "Where do the woody flowers come from in winter, the ten-mile lotus flowers in Tang poems, and the woody fragrance in Sanqiu, it seems that they are the fragrant cakes you picked and dried in autumn." ”

After saying that, Xu Hao was about to leave the car, Cuiliu sighed: "Distract you, if you move, my aunt will jump off the horse and kill you, and I can win you in three steps." ”

Xu Hao smiled bitterly: "A bunch of difficult things, I can't calm down at all, that's it, I admit defeat." ”

Xu Miaojin smiled and cleaned up the chess pieces, and asked casually: "What's the difficulty, let's listen to it, although we are all women, it's better to be a listener." ”

Xu Hao thought for a while and said: "Yesterday, King Yan wanted to write to the court, and ordered me to phrase it, which is nothing more than counting the mistakes of the court and fighting a battle of words. I didn't bother to think about it, and I didn't write all day. ”

Xu Miaojin said happily: "What's so difficult about this? Everything is inseparable from a courtesy! Li said: The hatred of the monarch and father is not shared with the sky, and the hatred of the brother is not against the army. Anyway, it is not difficult to find fault with the imperial court, and when I came, I heard that the new monarch demolished a palace, which was a very rude mistake. Don't you hear Confucius said, 'The father is watching his will, the father is watching his deeds, and he has not changed his father's way for three years, which can be described as filial piety'. ”

Xu Hao nodded frequently, the so-called hatred of the monarch's father is not shared, and Dai Tian is inevitably a bit strong, but on the occasion of King Yan's consecutive victories, it can show Zhu Di's heroic spirit to the officials and people of the world. For the most inexplicative literati, Dai Tian faintly compared the imperial court to an enemy country, and the literati loyal to the imperial court simply continued to criticize the king of Yan, and for the majority of the literati who remained neutral, the ambition of the king of Yan had already jumped on paper, and there must be many bold scholars who realized this section and ran in advance to serve the future emperor.

Xu Hao sighed: "My aunt's talent is really worthy of her reputation, far better than me. (To be continued......)
