Qi Hao Extra Story (13)

The days of reunion always pass very quickly. In a blink of an eye, the Lantern Festival came out, and Zaozao was going back to Tongcheng.

The night before leaving, Zaozaowo sleeps with Yuxi in the Palace of Compassion. As for Yunqing, he went to sleep in the study.

Yuxi said: "In the future, there will be no big things, so don't ride back in the cold weather. If you don't pay attention to taking care of your body now, you will suffer when you get old."

Zao Zao is not a masochist, nor does she want to ride a horse back to Beijing in the cold weather. But when the snow melted and the weather warmed up, she couldn't leave again. But she was reluctant to give up this position. Therefore, filial piety and career cannot be balanced.

Holding Yuxi in her arms, Zaozao said with guilt on her face: "Mother, I'm sorry, you have worked so hard to raise me and cultivate me to become a talent, but I can't be filial by your side. Mother, I am really an unfilial daughter." Her father said She is absolutely right, she is an unfilial daughter.

Yuxi smiled and said: "It is not easy for a woman in this world to live, and it is even more difficult to make some achievements. If you want to realize your ideals and ambitions, you have to sacrifice a lot. Fortunately, Jinyu follows everything. You and the children understand you and consider you. Otherwise, you would not be able to get to where you are today. "

Zao Zao hugged Yu Xi tightly: "It's all thanks to your father and mother." When she was young, she didn't feel how important her parents' help was to her, but as she grew older, she realized that the original How childish the idea is. Without the support of her parents, she couldn't even enter the gate of the barracks, let alone her dream of becoming a generalissimo.

Hearing this, Yuxi smiled lightly and said: "If you want to fly, parents will naturally drag you up and let you fly as much as possible." They have this ability, so naturally they want to help Zaozao as much as possible.

"Mother, how lucky I am to be your and father's daughter." After a lot of things, I can understand how rare Yunqing and Yuxi's training and support are for her.

Yuxi smiled and asked: "What's the matter? Suddenly expressing such emotion." At the beginning, she encouraged Yunqing to rebel because she didn't want others to control the fate of her children, but wanted them to control their own destiny. Fortunately, she did.

"People in some places think that girls are losers, and they drown girls to save a morsel of food. Some people think that girls will marry into other people's homes sooner or later, let girls be like cows and horses at home, and even suck their blood after they get married... "Similar things, she sees and hears a lot. Therefore, the feeling is also very deep.

Yuxi said: "Instead of lamenting, it is better to take action to change this phenomenon." Although the short-term results are minimal, it will be useful after a long period of time. Just like women's studies, after thirty or fifty years, the living environment of this woman will definitely be forced to be more relaxed now.

Hearing this, Zaozao told Yuxi about recruiting female soldiers: "Qihao said I couldn't recruit female soldiers, hum, I'll recruit 3,000 female soldiers and show him."

"It's more reliable to set the number of people at 500 first.

"Three thousand female soldiers may not sound like a lot, but recruiting so many is as difficult as skyrocketing.

If it was still possible in peacetime, at that time, women soldiers could still have a bite to eat if they didn't have enough food and clothing. But now in peacetime, there is no need to worry about food.

Zao Zao's heart skipped a beat: "Mother, even you don't care about this?" She felt that women can also go to the battlefield to kill the enemy. Like her, she can also make contributions.

Yuxi smiled and said: "It is a matter of narrow escape to go to Tongcheng to serve as a soldier. Unless you can't survive, no one is willing to die. Besides, women's physical strength is weaker than men. You and Zijin's military achievements are better than men's. There are many more, thanks to your natural power, not everyone can get the gift of God." Mo Lan followed Zao Zao to fight with his life, and now he is only a fourth-rank Qianhu.

Of course, the thousand households of the fourth rank is already very remarkable to many people. At least, her father Fu Tianlei is very proud. But Yuxi felt that this rank was not equal to what Mo Lan had paid

Zao Zao is not a person who retreats when encountering difficulties: "Mom, what do you think I should do?" Five hundred people are too few, and at least one thousand people must be recruited.

Yuxi smiled: "Go to the women's martial arts hall to recruit first, there should be some people willing to join the army. Then make an announcement to the world that you want to recruit female soldiers." As for the result, she didn't know.

Zaozao said: "Mother, the life of the people in Liaodong is difficult, I believe those women will be willing to serve as soldiers."

Yuxi smiled, but didn't answer Zaozao's words: "I have to get up early tomorrow morning, go to bed early!"

Zao Zao left the next day.

Looking at her back, Yun Qing couldn't help but shed tears. The older you are, the more you can't stand parting.

Yuxi was fine, although she was also very uncomfortable, but her eyes were red and she didn't shed tears.

Seeing this, Qi Rui turned to look at Qi Hao. It should be my mother who is so uncomfortable that she wants to cry, why did she object?

Unfortunately, Qihao didn't give him any response, not even a look.

After the first month, Qi Rui also left Beijing and returned to Shengjing. In order to prevent Yunqing from crying again, Qi Rui took his wife and children and left before dawn.

After getting up, Yun Qing knew that Qi Rui was gone, so he cursed angrily: "This unfilial son won't even let me see his grandson again." Why did you have a son, it's to anger yourself.

Yuxi laughed and said: "It's not the last time I saw you cry, Qi Rui was scared, so I left early." When I was young, I thought parting was nothing serious, but I didn't know that when I was old, I was very afraid of parting. She can control her emotions, but after Yun Qing abdicated, she completely let herself go, doing everything according to her temper. Laugh when you are happy, cry when you are sad, and cry when you are sad. Sometimes, Yuxi even admired him.

Crying in front of the child is completely inconsistent with the wise and powerful image he created before.

Yun Qing was also a little embarrassed, and said uncomfortably: "Isn't this out of control all at once?"

Yuxi smiled and asked: "When will we set off for Fujian to visit Liu'er and Jiaojiao?"

"The weather is still a bit cold now, let's wait until the end of February!" After speaking, Yun Qing smiled and said, "Don't tell Liu Er, just give her a surprise."

The husband and wife whispered and talked for a long time.

At the court meeting on the first day of February, Qiyou Shangzhezi hoped that the court would lift the sea ban and resume normal exchanges with Fan people.

One stone stirred up waves, and Qiyou's proposal was immediately strongly opposed by officials headed by Yuan Ying. Fortunately, Qiyou is not fighting alone. Nearly half of the officials headed by Han Jianming and Chen Ran support the sea ban.

The two sides launched a fierce rebuttal on their own views. Qiyou said that opening the sea ban will benefit the country and the people; the opposing party said that opening the sea ban will harm the country and the people.

Qiyou spat on Yuan Ying: "Why did the opening of the sea ban bring harm to the country and the people? Could the sea ban be able to stop the wolfish ambitions of those Fan people? If so, why are there still pirates along the coast? Locking the door can't prevent them, so why not fight with them?" Intersect and learn from them, and then deal with them in turn."

Yuan Ying said: "I am a big country, why do I need to learn from Fan Maozi?" In Yuan Ying's heart, Fan people are all savages who drink hair and drink blood. Learning from such a person is a self-deprecation.

"Confucius also said that three people must have my teacher. You are arrogant." After finishing speaking, Qiyou said with a sullen face: "If you don't say anything else, just talk about ships. As the Minister of the Ministry of War, don't you know that the ships of the Fan people are more powerful than others?" Are we good? I have already asked the general of the Fujian navy, and he said that if we fight against the Fanren, we have no 20% chance of winning." Qiyou's words are close to saying that Yuan Ying, the secretary of the military department, is not qualified.

Yuan Ying said angrily: "Do you know that once the sea ban is opened, the Fan people can fight to the shore without any effort. Even, they can fight all the way to the south of the Yangtze River." Bustling location. If the Fanren hit Jiangnan, the Ming Dynasty would be in danger.

When Qiyou heard this, his face was flushed with anger: "Fight to the south of the Yangtze River? Could it be that our sailors are just for show, and let the Fans go to the south of the Yangtze River to rob? Or, are you afraid of war?"

Before Yuan Ying could argue, Qiyou sneered and said, "As Minister of the Ministry of War, you don't even dare to fight, what are you still occupying this position for? Get back early and let those who are capable and courageous take over."

The appointment and dismissal of officials of the military department of the imperial court is very different from that of the previous dynasty. The officials of the Ministry of War in the former dynasty were basically civil servants who had passed the scientific examination. But Yunqing felt that these civil servants had never stayed in the barracks for a day and didn't know what was going on in the barracks, so how could they really think about the soldiers below. Therefore, he requested that the Minister of the Ministry of War and the Minister of the Ministry of War must not only serve in the Ministry of War, but only those who have stayed in the army. Yuan Ying had fought in wars before, and the two servants were also promoted from the army.

In this regard, the civil servant was very aggrieved. But this matter was decided by Yun Qing and Yu Xi, and it cannot be changed with a few twists and turns from civil servants.

Yuan Ying was so angry that he resigned immediately.

Qi Hao reprimanded Qi You a few words, and then said a few words to appease Yuan Ying. Then he told the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs about his decision and took Tong County as a pilot. If the coastal area is well developed, it will be fully opened, otherwise it will remain the same.

Hearing Qi Hao's decision, the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs knew that the emperor also wanted to open the sea ban.

Yuan Ying couldn't make Qihao change his mind, so he came to find Yunqing and Yuxi. He hoped that the two would come forward and persuade Qihao to give up the idea of ​​lifting the sea ban.

Yuxi smiled and said: "Even if Tong County is allowed to do the experiment, there will be a conclusion after three years. If it is not good, it will not be too late for you to submit a paper to object."

When Yuan Ying heard this, he knew that Yuxi agreed to open the sea ban, and he could only put his hope on Yunqing.

Yunqing didn't care about this matter anymore, and said: "I have already retired, so why bother with these things. Yuan Ying, you are already old, why bother to work so hard. You have to learn from me, and you have nothing to worry about. Flowers to raise birds, bored to play chess with old friends."

Yuan Ying went back with a disheartened face.

Yun Qing looked puzzled: "What's wrong? Did I say something wrong?"

Yu Xi smiled and said: "You didn't say anything wrong, it's because he thought too much." Now Yun Qing is thinking of what to say, not thinking about the impact of his words at all.

After Yuan Ying went back, he submitted his resignation on the grounds of old age.

Qi Hao did not agree to Yuan Ying's resignation, but comforted Yuan Ying instead. But Yuan Ying really wanted to resign this time, and within two days, he submitted the resignation paper again.

When submitting his resignation for the third time, Qihao agreed. Subsequently, Guantai, the Marquis of Linchuan, was transferred as Minister of the Ministry of War.

As the culprit, Yun Qing had no idea that Yuan Ying's resignation had anything to do with him. Yuxi, who knew the details, didn't tell him.
