Chapter 223 The glory of Rongqingtang is revealed!
The letter from the Xue family has just been delivered a few days ago. It will probably take a month or two before they actually come to Shenjing City. Although it is exciting, there is no rush yet.
In two years, of course it was not just Jia Lian who had changed, he was not the only one with strong genes.
The genes of Ahu, the shadow dragon and wolf, are equally powerful, but I don't know if it's because his bloodline is more developed than when Dahei successfully sowed it, or if it's because of the female wolf.
In short, Ahu's first child stayed in the wolf's belly for a full year and a half before being born.
Half a year after he was born, he is still a small bundle, looking like a puppy with just opened eyes, and he looks extremely cute.
Xiao Hong'er was very interested in this real dog brother. She even liked him more than her own brother and sister. She had to ask Jia Lian to take time to take her to the Spirit Beast Studio every day.
It's not that I'm afraid of Dahei and Ahu. After these two advanced to the third level of golden combat power, their wisdom has surpassed that of ordinary humans, let alone that they are now at the peak of legends.
These two guys have always behaved extremely calmly in front of little Jia Hong, with no trace of their childhood detachment. They obviously understand their status as "uncles".
Xiao Jiahong also seems to be born with a keen sense of spirituality, and can sense the kindness of these two "dog uncles" towards him, and is very close to Dahei and Ahu.
The problem lies in the harems of Dahei and Ahu. Those seven second-order wolf beasts are already the strongest wolf beasts that Jia Lian's forces have discovered in the world of Red Mansions over the years.
After being admitted into the harem of Dahei and Ahu, these seven wolf-like beasts would also patrol with the personal guards of Rongguo Mansion on weekdays, so they were barely considered semi-domesticated.
But little Jia Hong has always been a little afraid of these seven female wolves, and he doesn't dare to approach them unless Dahei and Ahu or his father are there to support him...
After taking a bath, Jia Hong, who had been fed supper by Zhiyu and the nanny, came bounding to find his father again under the protection of the nanny and the maids who were on hand.
Originally, according to the rules of Rongguo Mansion, or most high-ranking nobles in this era, a child of only one or two years old would be carried by wet nurses and servants wherever she could walk.
After the age of three or five, children will gradually be allowed to act on their own. Children raised in this way will naturally be weak, sickly, and spoiled. This is the so-called skill of being stronger than a woman's hands.
Naturally, Jia Lian would not let his children be raised in this way. How could he help his children grow up healthily? Jia Lian, who came from the era of information explosion in later generations, would naturally not listen to these so-called "old ladies".
"Daddy, daddy, shall we go and see Xiao Huihui? After seeing Xiao Huihui, we have to go see our ancestors."
In Rongxi Hall, Jia Lian was listening to what Jia Sidao was reporting, when suddenly the voice of his precious daughter sounded at the door.
Jia Lian waved, and Xiao Hong'er screamed happily and ran towards him, rushed over and hugged Jia Lian's legs.
Smiling, she reached out and held the little guy in her arms. Without waiting for any prompting, little Jia Hong said hello to Jia Sidao in a clear childish voice.
"Uncle Xidao~"
"Oh, the eldest daughter of our family is so good-looking. She will definitely be a beauty who will conquer the entire country in the future!"
"Hehe~"(˙︶˙)
Although the little girl didn't quite understand what Jia Sidao was saying, she was obviously praising herself. Her mother said, at this time, all she needs to do is smile.
Jia Sidao was originally a distant branch of the Jia family in Shenjing. According to the genealogy, he and Jia Lian are of the same generation. He is indeed worthy of being called "uncle" by Jia Hong. What's more, this man also successfully promoted to the legendary realm last year and became one of the few in the world.
The strong one.
In fact, his martial arts qualifications are extremely extraordinary. He was among the first batch of beings to be promoted to innate grand masters in the legion, and he has always been a core figure in the [Jia Lian Legion].
He is now one of the persons in charge of the legion's intelligence work and often visits the Hall of Honor, so naturally he is very familiar with Xiao Hong'er.
When Jia Sidao saw this little man coming, he understood that his general probably had no intention of listening to his report anymore, so he said goodbye to Jia Lian, and smiled and said hello to little Jia Hong before leaving.
Anyway, the big things have been discussed in advance, and other small things will be handled by myself first, and I will just report them tomorrow.
In recent years, with the temporary silence of the legion, other voices have gradually begun to appear within the Daqing Dynasty and overseas in Nanyang. Some people and forces have recently had the intention of testing the Rongguo Mansion.
Especially after the carving up of Luzon, the major families who had tasted the first piece of sweetness, after silently digesting it for more than a year, actually bypassed the Nanyang Fleet and pieced together a group of 300 quasi-innate high-level warriors, and brazenly started from there three months ago.
Annan was struck at sea!
The land of Annan and the provinces of Yunnan and Guizhou are separated by high mountains and miasma-prone areas. Since the Ming Dynasty, they have repelled countless attacks from the Central Plains dynasties.
But this time when facing the Han people from the sea and Daqing's high-level warriors fighting in groups, they were suddenly stunned.
In just three months, Annan lost most of its territory, and even the capital Hanoi was captured by the army led by Feng Ziying.
That's right, it's Feng Ziying, the son of the Shenwu General Feng Tang and the loyal supporter of Prince Yizhong!
Seeing his name appear in the intelligence, Jia Lian immediately understood that the war in Annan must be the work of Qin Keqing's "brother" Prince Yizhong.
He is at least involved in it, and is even very likely to be the main promoter. However, Jia Lian is happy to see such things happen. It seems that as the families in Daqing are eating a lot of oil overseas in Nanyang,
, these royal family princes finally couldn’t sit still.
Although these noble princes will definitely have a share of the benefits taken by each family, they are not short of money, or in other words, they are short of more than just money.
After more than a year of testing, adjustment and preparation, these princes finally took action, and once they took action, they had a strong record of destroying a country.
After this battle, few people would dare to look down upon those clan princes who had behaved almost harmlessly in the past.
However, this battle still seemed a bit lucky in Jia Lian's eyes. The king of Annan at this time, Ruan Guangping, was competing against another king of Guangnan with the same surname Ruan.
The two Ruan men had to fight every once in a while. In addition, neither family had expected that the Daqing people would suddenly attack from the sea. It is understandable that they were caught off guard and suffered a heavy defeat.
However, it took almost 20 years from Emperor Yongle of the former Ming Dynasty to Emperor Xuande to occupy Annan. Later, he was really troubled by the frequent rebellions of the natives. In addition, the civil servants of the Neo-Confucian lineage were worried that the military generals would become more powerful and use frequent measures in the court.
In the end, Emperor Xuande of the former Ming Dynasty chose to withdraw his troops.
Although it was stated before that it was assisted by civil servants, Jia Lian was still not optimistic about the Annan battle of Yizhong County Prince and the clan princes.
It wasn't that Daqing's army was weak, but that these people seemed to have no experience in colonial warfare. In Jia Lian's view, their tactics and strategies were copied from those used to fight domestic wars against one's own people.
We are completely using the lives of our own soldiers to drain the opponent's war potential throughout the country. There is no complete management and digestion plan. If this continues, I am afraid that we will fall into the vast ocean of the Annamites.
The princes and even the generals under their command seemed to scorn the articles in "Daqing News" that explained the strategies and tactics of white people on how to colonize the world.
Although the white people's practices are indeed despicable, and Jia Lian does not advocate learning from them completely, he cannot be forced to do so...
Even if you can win, it's still not worthwhile.
You must know that there is a lot of land, and the value of the mature Daqing soldiers in Annan Kingdom is even higher than that of the entire Annan Kingdom.
It's just that Prince Yizhong, who is still winning at this time, obviously can't listen to Jia Lian's concerns. Besides, his relationship with him is not that good, so Jia Lian will naturally not rush to ask for trouble.
Maybe Prince Yi Zhong will think that you are jealous of him, fearing that he will also successfully expand overseas and steal your world-renowned reputation from Jia Lian...
Jia Lian could only ask the Nanyang Fleet to assemble a squadron in Manila, which was closer, to provide some sort of response after Annan's misfortune occurred.
Although most of the people who will lose by then will be those of the clan princes, if they suffer too much, it may affect the plan to open the sea again.
This nanny is...
Jia Lian picked up her baby daughter's small, soft body and shook the complicated thoughts out of her mind:
"Come on, let's go see if little Huihui behaves today and takes milk seriously.
When little Huihui grows up and is weaned, let him stay with Xiao Hong'er and protect you forever, okay?"
When Xiao Jiahong heard this, his little eyes suddenly showed a look of surprise. Is there such a good thing?
"Really? Daddy is so kind. Hong'er likes you the most! Muah~"
Xiao Jia Hong followed Jia Lian's guidance and kissed Jia Lian hard on the face, but then she had some doubts.
"Then...if Xiao Huihui is with me all the time, what if Xiao Huihui wants to kiss her father and mother?"
A little person who is not more than one or two years old has actually begun to think about little Huihui. He is really gifted.
"If Xiao Huihui wants to kiss his mother, then let him go back. From now on, you can come over and play with Xiao Huihui every day."
As for Xiao Huihui’s father, Ahu, he had the same character as Dahei. When Xiao Huihui was just born, Ahu was so excited and curious, but who would have thought that within two months this guy would start hiding from his own cub...
Annoying…
In the Spirit Beast House, as soon as the father and daughter arrived at the large luxury wolf house belonging to Ahu on the right side of the yard, they saw a little white rabbit-sized, gray-breasted dog squirming towards this side.
Come running.
While little Jia Hong climbed up her calf in Jia Lian's arms and wanted to get down, she was surprised: "Ah! Little Hui Hui~"
"Wo~"
"Xiao Huihui, are you good today?"
"Woof!"
"..."
Not far away, a huge blue-gray female wolf appeared in the Ahu wolf house. Seeing it was Jia Lian and little Jia Hong, she seemed to know that Miss Hong didn't like her, so she retreated silently.
Jia Lian waited for little Jia Hong to get tired of his "dog brother" for a while, then took advantage of little Huihui's yawning opportunity and said to the little guy:
"You see, little Huihui is already sleepy. Let's go quickly to say hello to our ancestors and aunts, and then go to bed early."
"Okay, I have to leave. Little Huihui, you should go to bed early~"
…
Rongqing Hall.
Sanchun, Daiyu, and Xiangyun were learning female red from the nuns, and from time to time they took the time to chat and laugh with the old lady sitting at the top.
Night was about to fall, and the tall room was illuminated brightly by tallow candles as thick as an arm, but there was no risk of hurting the eyes.
Sitting next to the old lady were Mr.
Mrs.
In fact, the old lady felt some pity for Mr. Xing, so she allowed her to accompany her.
Since Wang was deprived of her stewardship rights that year and was punished to go to the Buddhist hall to copy sutras, she rarely appeared in Rongqing Hall again.
Even on some big occasions, she was only allowed to show up when Yuanchun got married a few years ago. On weekdays, Wang was only allowed to take care of her affairs in the West Road Courtyard.
The appearance of Ms.
The little sisters in the hall said they were learning female celebrities, but in fact the atmosphere was very relaxed. From time to time, there would be bursts of clear and sharp laughter, which made the old lady smile.
The most lively among them was Xiangyun. That year, Jia Lian came forward to ask for her "custody rights" to the old lady. Logically speaking, this was a matter that brought shame to the historians. The two princes of that family could not do it.
Just agree.
Even if the two brothers were stupid for a moment, they should have woken up after such a long time. Besides, the old lady had to think about her mother's family's face.
However, with Jia Lian and his entourage in Jiangnan, the momentum of the Rongguo Mansion soared to the sky, and then became even more uncontrollable. In the past two years, there were even rumors that he would be crowned king more than once.
After the two princes of the Shi family were beaten several times by Jia Lian, they also knew that they were not taken seriously by the master at all. Their status as elders was nothing to Jia Lian, so they began to question Shi Xiangyun's "custody rights."
I dare not say any more.
Later, when Jia Lian summoned the major families in Daqing to form a high-level warrior group, the Shi brothers were originally unwilling to pay attention.
But seeing that both the Xue family and the Wang family rushed to send the elders of their own clans there, and the old lady seemed to have also handed them a letter, so the two elders of the Shi family actually appeared in Nanyang.
Among the high-level warriors of the fleet.
Sure enough, the rewards later made the brothers overjoyed. In just two years, the Shi brothers earned more than 100,000 taels of silver!
This also made them completely stop thinking about taking Shi Xiangyun back.
Yes! Just lose face if you lose face. This will save you a fortune in dowry, which is fine.
On the old lady's side, although she was secretly angry at Jia Lian for not saving face for the Shi family at first, she still felt very sorry for Shi Xiangyun, the only daughter left by her nephew, who had the best relationship with her in the early years.
Come on! It's all the fault of those two people who failed to live up to expectations. My Lian'er just feels sorry for her sister...
