The Red House starts from Liaodong

Beijing.

Iron Kan Temple.

The funeral ceremony is ostentatious, and there are many guests.

From Tieshan Temple to Ningfu, there are tens of thousands of people watching along the road.There are also those who envy and those who sigh.

It took a long time to arrange the funeral of the great master of Ningguo Mansion.

Jia Mu and her party came back to rest in the mansion by carriage from Tiekan Temple. They sent people to look for them, and they also called Jia Zheng.

When Jia Jing was around, he didn't feel that he was dead. Jia's mother was a little flustered, and Jia Zheng was also flustered.

Jia Jing is the patriarch of the Jia family. Although he was handed over to his son Jia Zhen, Jia Zhen was always considerate in doing things and did not dare to be rude.

It is Jia Jing who can really stabilize the hearts of the people.

"You still have to listen to my uncle's words."

Mother Jia knew that her son's talent was weak, so she warned him.

Jia Zheng said to Shi Ding in the past that he had the intention of regretting the marriage, but most of it came from Wang Ziteng because he was ashamed and angry and said angry words.

How could he have the courage to make such a decision.

Now there is Jia Jing's last words, he does not dare to disobey, in front of Jia's mother, he only dares to nod.

Not to mention Jia Mansion.

Chen Deyan found Shi Nai and asked him to come forward to organize a marriage for Marquis Ping Liao.

"It's difficult."

Shi Nai was in a dilemma.

Marquis Ping Liao is not in Beijing, and he also knows that Marquis Ping Liao dare not return to Beijing, so many etiquettes cannot be carried out as usual.

But Jia Zheng is old-fashioned again.

"Let Shi Gong worry about it."

Chen Deyan asked.

It was Shi Nai who came forward to act as a matchmaker at the beginning, but now he can't let it go, so he can only grit his teeth and agree to discuss this matter with Jia Zheng.

As for the palace.

Everything is done according to Ping Liaohou's will, but there is no difficulty.

But the easier it is, the final requirement may not be less.

Marquis Ping Liao's wedding will be held.

The marriage between Liu Chengmin, the chief soldier of Jinjiang Town, and the Jinxiang Houfu will also be held.

The former is big and the latter is small.

All kinds of trivial matters made Chen Deyan almost lose his leg.

In the meantime.

Tang Chengzhi, who was studying in the Imperial College, participated in it. He was in high school, and he was seen by the emperor and arranged to be sent to the Imperial Academy.

All kinds of happy events are not mentioned.

Tang Chengzhi suddenly approached Chen Deyan, saying that he wanted to go back on his marriage with the lady of the Guangdong General's family.

No matter how busy Chen Deyan was, he didn't dare to wait slowly, and looked at Tang Chengzhi in surprise.

"Why is this?"

"I'm a scholar. How can I marry the lady of the General of Guangdong? It will make my classmates ridicule, and I don't want to be the eldest brother's accomplice."

Tang Chengzhi said righteously.

When he was studying in Jinling, he was still proud of his eldest brother. At that time, it was said that his eldest brother was the court's general who won victory.

Ever since the elder brother became Marquis of Ping Liao, everything has gradually changed.

Many people blamed the eldest brother, thinking that the eldest brother has ambitions and has become a cancer of the country. Tang Chengzhi was confused for a while.

Finally recognized righteousness.

When reading sage books by yourself, you should be loyal to the emperor and protect the people as the foundation of your life, even if you are the eldest brother, you must persuade him.

Be a general who is loyal to the imperial court and the country, not a cholera country.

In the Hall of Supreme Harmony.

Chuanlu called the new scholars to enter the palace, and when it was his turn, he was questioned by the saint with concern.

In the end, he even stepped down and took his hand personally, with a look of expectation on his face, hoping that he could become a pillar of the country.

Such a friendship between the monarch and his ministers has made Tang Chengzhi very excited until now.

Looking at the new Jinshi in front of him, Chen Deyan thought he couldn't convince him, and he was the eldest brother's younger brother.

Such a big problem, let the eldest brother solve it by himself.

"This matter must not be made public, so as not to ruin the reputation of other young ladies. When you arrive in Jinzhou, go and tell your elder brother in person."

Tang Chengzhi nodded confidently.

When he was young, he still lived with his elder brother, but later his elder brother left, and he hadn't seen his elder brother much in these years.

see.

Chen Deyan ignored Tang Chengzhi's affairs and went to work on the important affairs of Jinjiang Town.

Not to mention how Jinjiang Town sent the betrothal gift to Beijing.

A girl from the Jia family, a girl from the Wang family.

Sitting on the bridal sedan chair was the same as when Qin Keqing entered Jinzhou before.

The two ladies are noble, but the two governments are concerned about the situation in the capital, so the movement is not particularly big.

Nonetheless.

All honorable families set up congratulatory sheds along the road to provide rest or supplies for the team, and either came in person or sent their children to congratulate and present gifts.

Jia Lian from Jia's mansion, as well as the elders of the literary generation, the clan brothers of the Wang's generation, Wang Zisheng, Wang Ren and others from the Wangfu.

Responsible for the road, to deal with the congratulations of each family.

The long convoy is full of all kinds of dowries.

Finally arrived in Shandong.

Officials from all over Shandong came forward to greet them in person and arranged for assistance, even the chief secretary of Shandong came forward.

When they arrived in Denglai, the governor of Denglai, Han Hao, also came to greet them and saw them off to the pier in person.

The pier at this time.

The big ship flying the flag of Jinjiang Town has already been waiting here, and the rest of the civilian ships around have also been arranged to other docks.

Tang Qing'an's younger brother Tang Zhanwang, cousins ​​Wu Zhong, Wu Shun, and Xue Bian.Feng Shengzhi, the envoy of the left branch of Jinjiang Town, and others, the housekeeper Zhou Ji, Li Dun and other family servants.

Ding's relatives, Zhou's in the mansion, Ge Zhu and other deacons' wives and maids.

A crowd of people are waiting here.

Next to the suona, gongs and various musical instruments are very lively.

After greeting each other, everyone boarded the boat one by one.

Then it was to carry the numerous betrothal gifts, carefully transport them to the cabin, and the stewards of the two mansions would take care of them personally.

at this time.

Tung Chung Island overseas in Fuzhou, Fujian.

It turned out to be an unnamed island.

There are only a dozen households on the island, and they live by fishing. Because it is barren, there is no one to control it. Zhou Gou'er values ​​the island.

After discussing with several households on the island, it became a supply point.

next year.

This place will become a refuge for the immigrant fleet to repair, or encounter storms.

Several households received food from the Jinjiang army, so instead of fishing, they built huts to provide temporary accommodation for immigrants.

Zhou Gou'er searched for this kind of island a lot.

According to the agreement, he will visit from time to time to check whether everyone is on schedule.

The official navy also has this kind of benefit, who would not want to offend the survivors on the island, at least they would not dare to offend.

When the Jinjiang Army Navy left.

Some pirates began to harass these supply points, destroying numerous huts, and terrorizing the people of the island.

Whoever dares to do things for the Jinjiang Army Navy will be retaliated against.

And so on.

When Zhou Gouer led a fleet of more than a dozen ships to patrol the East China Sea, he was furious when he heard the news, and immediately followed the pirates.

But the sea is vast.

How could he find the pirate ships? Moreover, he had few ships and soldiers, but there were so many pirates that he couldn't protect the many supply islands on such a long channel.

Not two months.

Seventy percent of the many supply islands he had set up before had been removed, and the people on the islands did not dare to agree to him.

All previous efforts were in vain.

"Boss, it won't work like this, the pirates can't find it, and we're all going to die of exhaustion."

The sea is boundless.

Zhou Gou'er's subordinates are already exhausted, and they don't want to stay in the sea anymore, they need to go back to the land to rest.

Zhou Gouer was helpless.

Knowing that the morale of the army is unstable, we can only return.

Although it is only the battalion commander, there are not many battalion commanders in the navy. Zhou Gou'er knows Jinjiang Town's plan.

The immigration of Xinghua Prefecture in Fujian is just the beginning, and not only Fujian, but also cities of Guangdong and Guangxi will immigrate in the future.

I have to assist the Sakishima Islands of the Ryukyu Kingdom and take care of the route, but I don't have much power in my hands.

More than [-]% of the Jinjiang Township's navy is used to protect the mainland and Jinling's overseas business routes.

In the south, only less than [-]% of overseas.

Even after asking for help, they couldn't get much support and couldn't protect many supply points.

Although Zhou Gou'er was born as a commoner in the Liao people, since he became the commander-in-chief of the battalion, he is certainly not a dull person.

He thought of General Guangdong.

Wu Wei, General of Guangdong, is a general in charge of coastal defense affairs in Guangdong. His ancestors fought with the Duke of Jia.

The relationship between the two is extraordinary.

After the founding of the People's Republic of China, the Wu family inherited military positions and was responsible for Guangdong's coastal defense affairs.

So many years ago, when Da Zhou clashed with the fleets of Western countries that harassed and occupied land, the Wu family was one of the main generals.

The gifts that Wu Wei sends to Jia's mansion every year are often dragged into Beijing to appraise the officials, and the tone is respectful.

Because he is a junior, the same generation as Jia Lian.

His ancestors, and many others, died in battle with the fleets of Western countries.

He hates people from western countries, as well as pirates.

The fight against pirates can also confiscate a large number of goods, including foreign goods, which can bring him great profits.

As for violating the sea ban and smuggling overseas at the risk of the family being copied, the Wu family does not have such great ability to obtain the cover of officials in Guangdong.

Otherwise, at the beginning of the founding of the country, they would not have been resettled in Guangdong, a place far away from the capital.

Moreover, it is a military position for generations, and the family can already benefit from the fight against pirates, compared with the risk of prohibition.

Not worth the candle.

Therefore, strictly adhering to the sea ban has strengthened its power.

Give gifts to Jia's mansion in the capital every year.

Not only the precious specialties of Guangdong, but also the captured spoils were sent, such as a pair of glass kang screens.

This glass kang screen was loved by Jia's mother, and she kept it for her own use.

It can be seen that Wu Wei's family, because they are far away from the capital, and have a relationship with the ancestors of Jia's family, so it is Jia's house that speaks for General Yuehai in the capital.

This person is extremely old-fashioned, strictly abides by dogma, and values ​​the relationship between nobles and nobles. The capital is under the care of the Jia family. Although his influence in Guangdong is not the largest, it is not small.

He had heard of Marquis Ping Liao and knew that he was the son-in-law of Jia's family. Of course he was happy to know the other party's wish to marry.

Locally, their Wu family is the emperor of the earth, but without the relationship of the capital, how can they last long.

Hearing the guerrilla general Zhou Gouer's request for help, he said nothing, and immediately dispatched the Guangdong navy to assist Zhou Gouer in clearing up the surrounding pirates.

sea ​​ban.

He is strict.

He has to maintain Xungui's network even more.

Otherwise, why bother to marry the Marquis of Liao in peace.

In Xungui's view, human feelings are greater than laws, which is the human nature of Xungui.

He is in charge of the maritime defense of a province in Guangdong. The naval divisions of the water villages are all his subordinates in name, and they are under the name of Guangdong General.

After receiving the list from Zhou Gou'er, he ordered the navy to patrol around the islands.

in this way.

Only then did Zhou Gouer's supply islands regain their stability.

Knowing that the young lady of the Jia family was married, Wu Wei quickly sent a boat to deliver the congratulatory gifts, and Zhou Gouer wrote a letter to the general about the general Guangdong Hai's help.
