Liu Ziguang felt a shiver in his heart, and subconsciously looked around for candles and whips, but he couldn't find them, so he asked with a frown on his face: "Your Majesty, the main business now is to finish drinking and hurry up to the wedding. You are dressed like a pirate.
Which song is this from?"
Zhao Wen said: "Let me ask you, when you married a beautiful daughter-in-law like me, did you give her any valuable gifts?"
Liu Ziguang said: "I came in a hurry and I was not prepared. Whatever you want, I will help you arrange it later."
Zhao Wen sneered: "We in the Song Dynasty have nothing, and we care about your crappy stuff. I want something, and you can get it for me. It is the best gift."
Liu Ziguang asked curiously: "What is it?"
"Temasek." Zhao Wen replied calmly.
A drop of sweat dripped from Liu Zi's bald head: "Temasek, that seems to be a small foreign country. You are so ruthless that the bride price actually requires a country."
Zhao Wen rushed over and grabbed Liu Ziguang's arm and shook it: "They just want Temasek. It's a good place. As long as we occupy this place, we can control the Strait of Malacca. All ships coming from Xiniu Hezhou have to pay a toll. It's simply
It’s just a cornucopia.”
Liu Ziguang glared and said: "You... you are simply a pirate. The Song Dynasty Navy is so powerful that you can just send troops to seize it. Why let me go and get it for you."
Zhao Wen explained: "Our Song Dynasty is a celestial kingdom. How can we humiliate those feudal states? So I have to ask you to take action. No one from our Song Army will take part in this operation. We will all rely on your own subordinates.
The Temasek we win like this is just a betrothal gift. What do you think, do you agree? If you agree, we will set off right away. Look, I'm all dressed up."
"This is the business you're talking about. Let me think about it first." The temperature in the palace was very suitable, but Liu Ziguang was still sweating. Zhao Wen was far more crazy than Peng Jinrong, Zeng Cheng, and Liu Xiaomao. On their wedding night, they were able to hold each other.
He went to conquer a country. Liu Ziguang could no longer describe this madness in words. At this time, his mind was very confused. He had less than a thousand soldiers and two warships.
Among them, the teaching team is also responsible for training the troops stationed in the Song Dynasty. They cannot be transferred without authorization. Conquering a country is no small matter and requires planning and preparation by the logistics staff department. How dare you do it if you don't have a few months to do it.
As if she could read his mind, Zhao Wen took out a map, swept the wine bottles and glasses on the table to the ground, spread out the drawing and said: "Temasek is a country as big as a booger. It's very easy to take it down.
We don’t need a lot of troops. Your two hundred martial arts school students are enough. I can also send two ships here. We will set off overnight and return in triumph in a short time. There is no need to worry about the Privy Council. Anyway, I am an emperor who is fast.
It’s time to abdicate. No matter how big your game is, they won’t interfere. Besides, I’m just here to serve as an advisor to you. Raising troops to capture Temasek is just your personal behavior, Liu Ziguang.”
Liu Ziguang carefully looked at the map Zhao Wen spread out. The map was a partial map of Southeast Asia. It summarized Kalimantan, Sumatra, Java and other places. The various islands, ocean currents, and reefs were all clearly marked. Even Temasek's
There are detailed classification maps of the palace and military camps, and the appendix also contains the deployment of troops from relevant countries in the vicinity. It seems that this drawing comes from the Traveling Department of Song Dynasty.
Liu Ziguang was an adventurer, and after reading the drawings he felt confident, and said solemnly: "In that case, I will help you get this gift!"
In the Forbidden Army barracks outside Xinbianjing City, Meng Zhiqiang was changing the dressing for Hua Wuyu, using two parts of mashed yellow gardenia, one part of egg white, one and a half flour, a few leaves of Prunella vulgaris, plus a small amount of sugar.
Mix an appropriate amount of white wine into a paste, apply it on the old flower's buttocks, and then cover it with a wet cloth. Change the dressing every three days. This is the third time the dressing has been changed. Hua Wuyu has a very good physique and lies on the bed to serve her every day.
His brothers Xie Long and Xie Hu boasted a lot and ate the food they brought, and they lived a very comfortable life.
"Brother Hua, after changing the medicine three times, it should be almost gone." Meng Zhiqiang applied the medicine, picked up a towel and wiped his hands, and asked with concern.
"No way, I have to change the medicine at least ten more times, but for the future of you monkeys, it's worth beating my ass. Xiaoqiang, take out the wine bottle under the bed, I have to take a sip."
Wuyu pointed to the big backpack under the bed.
"Brother Hua, the doctor said that you can't drink because of your injury." Meng Zhiqiang advised.
"Shit, it's better after you drink. Take it out quickly and stop talking nonsense."
The two were arguing when two brothers, Xie Long and Xie Hu, walked in carrying a food box and said: "Brother Hua and Senior Meng, there is a big banquet in the dining hall tonight to celebrate the wedding of the Marquis and the Queen. We have specially reserved a lot of dishes.
For you to eat.”
"Oh, great, you two are smart. Do you have any wine? Hurry up and have a pot." Hua Wuyu said with drooling eyes.
Before Xie Long could take out the jug, a rapid drumbeat suddenly sounded outside.
"No, emergency assembly!" The trainees heard that this was an emergency assembly order for the first-level combat readiness of the Red Shirt Regiment. They quickly picked up their backpacks, put on their armor, and rushed out of the dormitory with their weapons on their shoulders. The whole process only took thirty seconds.
That's all.
In the evening, there were two hundred students and the veterans of the training team who were responsible for coaching them. Everyone stood upright like a javelin, waiting quietly for the commander's words. Mr. Anthony, the Martial Arts Master of the Capital Lecture Hall, and General Duncan of the teaching team
The master was dressed in military uniform and walked up to the general stand with a serious face. The two of them gave way for a while, and finally Duncan spoke: "Young men, the commander-in-chief has an order. There is an urgent military matter that requires your death! All students must participate in this mission.
, after completion, you can get a diploma from the Martial Arts Hall. Someone is likely to die on the battlefield in this mission, and even the bodies cannot be transported back to their hometown. Do you have the courage to participate?" The last sentence was asked at a higher octave. Learned
The soldiers immediately shouted with full strength: "Yes!"
Duncan nodded with satisfaction and continued: "We still need twenty veterans to volunteer for this battle. Those who are willing can take a step forward."
The veterans of the Red Shirt Regiment all know what the Marquis is doing. As long as you follow him out, even if you just wander around for nothing, you will be richly rewarded. If you are injured in the war, the allowance will be generous. Travel around the Song Dynasty
Since there are no strong enemies, the Marquis may be taking these child soldiers out for an outing. Thinking of this, the veterans naturally signed up enthusiastically.
At this time, a loud roar suddenly came from the direction of the barracks: "Don't fight with anyone, the Marquis needs me, and the students need me too!" Who else could it be if it wasn't the wounded Hua Wuyu? I saw him running over with vigorous steps.
, it seemed that the injury on his butt had completely healed. He squeezed into the middle of the veterans and handed over his hands: "Senior General, Xiao Qihua is speechless and firmly insists on participating in this operation!"
Duncan glanced at Hua Wuyu and said, "Is your injury healed?"
"Lord Qi, you have recovered, and you are running and jumping as usual." As if to prove it, Hua Wuyu even hit a few tornado kicks on the spot.
"Okay, that's it, let's set out immediately!" Duncan waved his hand to end the training, turned to Anthony and said: "There are no strong enemies in this raid on Temasek. It is a good opportunity to train the trainees, so I won't go with it.
Take care of yourself."
Anthony's tall body was covered with a piece of scale armor. He held his hands with a smile and said: "You're welcome, it's just Temasek. Just wait for the good news." Without further words, he turned over and jumped on the horse.
The cadets held weapons in their hands, wore armor on their bodies, and had luggage and quilts on their backs. They were ready to go on the expedition. They turned one by one at the officer's command and followed Antony's horses at a gallop. Two hundred and twenty people
The team advanced towards the dock in the dusk.
On the pier of Bianjing Bay, there is a white Western-style three-masted ship parked. Liu Ziguang and Zhao Wen are standing on the bow of the ship watching more than 200 soldiers board the transport ship next to it. Bianjing Bay at night is far less busy than during the day.
This small-scale troop movement cannot attract anyone's attention at all. There are many islands in the Song Dynasty, and it is normal for the troops defending the islands to change defenses. The weapons of the students are not advanced, they are just teaching-type flintlock muskets.
, and there was no saber, only a bayonet one foot and a half long hanging on the waist. The gunpowder and lead carried by each person were also very limited, but it was more than enough to deal with the native soldiers.
"This ship is called the White Swan. It is my yacht. Although it looks simple, it actually hides murderous intent and its armaments are more powerful than the Black Pearl. I will lend you this battleship. It can send a large number of troops to attack Temasek.
It's useful." Zhao Wen said. At this time, she had taken off her black blindfold and flowered cloth headband. She stood on the side of the ship with outstanding grace and said to Liu Ziguang.
A yacht, more than 200 student soldiers, and a cargo ship. Such a grassroots team is going to seize a country. Liu Ziguang feels ridiculous when he thinks about it. Alas, it should be a different kind of honeymoon trip. Who asked me to take such a wife?
After all the students entered the cabin, Liu Ziguang said with a smile: "Your Majesty, it seems that you have forgotten what day it is today."
"Huh?" Zhao Wen looked at him with wide eyes and confusion.
"Today is the wedding night." After saying that, Liu Ziguang rushed forward, picked up Zhao Wen and walked towards the cabin. He was slowly traveling on the sea at night, always looking for something to do...
