Emperor Ming Dynasty

Chapter 105 Marriage
Shanxi merchants cooperated with captives, and Shaanxi merchants cooperated with bandits.

As for Huizhou merchants, Tongyan, relying on the special characteristics of Nanzhili, just to win over the Donglin Party is enough to get close to the central government, and they are in a neutral position anyway.

The strength of Shaanxi merchants is strong, and it is inevitable to support Li Zicheng, who is expected by everyone.

Sun Changzhou lurks in Xi'an and reveals the news that Shaanxi merchants spent a lot of money to collude with Li Zicheng's counselor Niu Jinxing and Song Xiance to prevent the bad luck of being ransacked.

Thinking of this, Zhu Yixi shook his head, the Shaanxi merchant's gaze was really a bit off.

Li Zicheng was defeated, and the business ways of Shanxi merchants were eroded by Shanxi merchants. The end of Ming Dynasty and the beginning of Qing Dynasty were probably the most glorious time.

"General soldier, that's what the Shanxi merchants in Guanzhong did, and it has nothing to do with us in Hanzhong!"

He Yitong cried out in a hurry, very aggrieved.

"Does it make any difference?"

Zhu Yixi sneered and said, "Aren't you the ones who make the profit?"

When I'm stupid, isn't Lu Xun the same as Zhou Shuren?
These words left He Yitong and Tang Yongfu speechless.

After hesitating for a long while, He Yitong said helplessly: "General Soldier, there is no news in Guanzhong, we really can't do anything about it, but we do know a thing or two about the western thieves in Huguang."

"Where are they?"

Zhu Yixi's expression changed.

"Zhang Xianzhong has already entered Jiangxi, and was besieged by Zuo Zongbing and Governor Lu. He won more than he lost."

"Jiangxi?" Zhu Yixi murmured.

It seems that Zhang Xianzhong will continue to fight in Jiangxi for a while.

However, Zuo Liangyu was defeated in Zhuxian Town last year, and his elite was exhausted. Now that most of the recruits are recruits, how can Zhang Xianzhong still fight back and forth?
This western soldier was weaker than expected.

Zhu Yixi was determined, but at the same time very vigilant.

The thief's invasion is not far away, so it's time for me to plan how to rescue Sichuan.

"What about Yunyang?"

Zhu Yixi shook his head and asked again.

This time, it was Tang Yongfu's turn to answer, he said: "Huguang bandits occupy it, Henan is in a mess, and the situation of Yunyang Mansion is not good."

"I found out later that the price of its grain is already one stone and three taels."

"How many soldiers and horses does it have?"

Zhu Yixi still refused to let it go, and continued to ask questions.

"Minister Hui Deng and Wang Guang'en each have more than ten thousand troops, and there are thousands of Luo Rucai soldiers and horses. There are very few elites."

The two sighed and had to speak out in one go.

"very good."

Zhu Yixi nodded, stood up, and said happily: "Your Chamber of Commerce is sincere this time, and I have accepted this favor."

After the two left, Zhu Yixi immediately asked, "What do you think?"

"pretty close."

Zhao Shu pondered for a moment: "Yunyang Mansion has been besieged many times, even if it is an elite, I am afraid it will kill most of it."

"That's good!" Zhu Yixi clapped his hands and shouted: "Then prepare quickly and prepare more food. This winter, we will take down Yunyang Mansion."

"Chief Soldier, just came back from a big victory, isn't it too urgent?"

Zhang Daoku couldn't help but said: "Now the soldiers are tired and horses are exhausted, besides, it is a big taboo to use soldiers in winter."

Zhao Shu on the side was also full of doubts.

However, he knew Zhu Yixi well and knew that there must be a reason for him not to fight unprepared battles.

Zhu Yixi was hesitant to speak when he saw two seeking answers.

He can't say, Zhang Xianzhong will enter Sichuan soon, I have to gather troops to prepare for battle, right?

After thinking about it for a while, Zhu Yixi said: "Zuo Liangyu is suppressing the bandits in the west. If he loses more than he wins, he will definitely think about the troops of the Yunyang Mansion. After all, he was the one who recruited Prime Minister Hui Deng to surrender."

"It's been too long, Huideng and others, I'm afraid they will go to Huguang to suppress the thieves."

Zhao Shu and Zhang Daoku were helpless, this excuse was too arbitrary.

"Okay! I'll tell the truth." Zhu Yixi said helplessly:
"Taking advantage of the thunder of defeating the Chuang army in this battle, we just happened to frighten Yunyang. In addition, we will send charcoal in the middle of the snow, and we will show both grace and power. There is great hope."

"Chief soldier!" Zhao Shu couldn't help laughing when he heard this, "You are so blunt."

"It's a good way to suppress the situation with soldiers, but the court is still there, so it's too ostentatious. I have a good way, and I can test it out for you."

"Oh?" Zhu Yixi became interested: "Tell me quickly."

"You can take advantage of recovering Huguang and combating the bandits, and summon Hanzhong."

Zhao Shu said to himself: "Once you decide to go on an expedition, you will definitely lead the army. How dare you refuse to obey orders under your command? Then you can control it."

"Hit Zhang Xianzhong?"

Zhu Yixi became excited.

This is turning passivity into initiative, intimidating Huguang, and shocking the world.

Zhang Daoku was helpless.

Zhao Shu looked at him solemnly, and said: "The western thieves have 200,000 soldiers. The soldiers in the south of the Yangtze River chased and intercepted them, but they were still unsuccessful. We people can only go to die."

As he said that, Zhao Shu sighed: "Fighting the thieves in the west is just a pretext. Now, the most important thing is to recruit soldiers. There are tens of thousands of soldiers, and there is no room for talking."

"you're right."

Zhu Yixi calmed down, he didn't integrate his soldiers and horses well, so let's develop a wave first!

"No, you just said you were married?"

Zhu Yixi suddenly realized that she had overlooked something.

"Yes."

Zhao Shu said with a light smile, "It's the right time to marry the Sun family."

……

"marry?"

Sun Xueniang was sitting in front of the mirror, wearing a plain blue jacket and skirt, her white and tender oval face was a little thinner, but still amazingly beautiful.

At this time, she turned her head and looked at her aunt Li, her beautiful eyes were full of surprise: "Could this be too fast?"

"It is urgent to follow the right."

Mrs. Li was wearing a royal blue jacket and skirt, and a trace of love flashed across her kind face.

Touching her daughter's beautiful hair, she said softly: "I will tell the outside world that your father has already set the marriage and the date of marriage, and will not violate filial piety."

"We are taken care of by Zhu Jingming, and he also needs us at this time."

"Our Sun family is not the kind of ungrateful person who is in a hurry and understands kindness."

Regarding this, Sun Xueniang was silent.

She has long understood that her marriage will inevitably involve politics.

"Mother!" Xue Niang's beautiful eyes were reddish, she called out, and said softly:

"Xueniang understands, but she just misses you, aunt, younger brother, and younger sister."

"Find you a suitable husband, and your father will be happy in the spirit of heaven."

Mrs. Li rubbed her eyes, the wrinkles on her forehead stretched a lot, and said with a smile: "It's great to see you get married."

"Sister, sister, a lot of things have been delivered outside the door!"

The damselfly ran in with a white raccoon slave in her arms, wearing a mink fur jacket, with a round face and a tender pink face, smiling.

"It's Natsu."

Mrs. Li smiled and said: "Although we are in a hurry, we can't save the process, we have to get married properly."

There are six steps before the wedding, Na Cai (send the mascot), ask the name, Naji (send the horoscope to the ancestors), Na Zheng (betrothal gift, dowry), ask for a date, and welcome.

This is an essential step for a regular wife, that is, a regular marriage by a clear medium.

When several people came to the courtyard, they saw a pair of wild geese struggling fiercely.

In the rest of the boxes, there are more than [-] kinds of things that imply auspiciousness, such as pampas grass, Selaginella, relic beasts, blessed beasts, fish, nine sons and so on.

"My sister is getting married, I really can't bear it."

Eight-year-old Sun Shining, with a wrinkled face, was reluctant to let go of his arms.

Damselfly's small face was also full of reluctance, and she leaned her chin on her sister's shoulder: "I can't bear it either!"
