Fu Qiuning looked back at Jiang Wanying. She really wanted to ask the other party: What kind of news do you want to hear? Would you really be happy if Jin Fengju died in battle? You belong to the prince, but after all these years, you have no feelings for him? Or was it because of the resentment after that that you completely turned to the prince's side and became such a disgraceful spy? Why don't you think about it? If Duke Jingguo's government falls, can you, as a woman, benefit from it? Will you still be able to enjoy the scenery when you return to your parents’ home? Can we find another young talent? Have you ever thought about what to do with two children? Do you think the prince will let them go? Or can they continue to live a carefree life at grandpa's house? Don’t you know that it’s called living under someone else’s roof
Because these thoughts were stirring in his chest, Fu Qiuning realized that he couldn't hide it, so he quickly turned his head, took a deep breath, and said calmly: "Yesterday, good news came from the front. I and the soldiers killed the Japanese pirates at Shaping Ao. More than 800 people were killed, which was the most enemies killed in more than a month. I heard that the anti-Japanese war in Ningbo, Suzhou and Zhangyan was also going very smoothly. It seems that although the emperor was on the battlefield in the north, his focus was on the coastal resistance in the south. Japanese pirates. I think maybe this is the last year for Japanese pirates to come ashore. After the end, who will dare to go to sea to become Japanese pirates and seek death?"
Jiang Wanying didn't speak for a long time, and now the situation has been decided. And she also smelled something unusual from the emperor's will and the successive victories against the Japanese. Because of this, when Jin Zhenxuan and Jin Xiuzhen came to Fu Qiuning recently, she never said anything, which was equivalent to acquiescing to the children to get close to the woman who she hated so much.
"Grandma, Grandma Wan'er is gone."
When Qiu Yu saw that Jiang Wanying didn't say anything, she turned around and left. She leaned forward and said something in Fu Qiuning's ear, but she saw her nodding and said, "Yes, I understand. Alas! If I had known this today, why did I do it in the first place?"
After another ten days, Jin Fengju finally led his soldiers back in triumph. This time it was a real victory, so the gates of Quanzhou City were opened wide, and the people spontaneously stood on both sides of the road to welcome the soldiers who entered the city who bravely killed the enemy. There were even many wealthy squires carrying pigs, cattle and sheep to bring them up, and the crowd was furious. Jin Fengju had no choice but to endure his concern for his family and personally offered the pigs, cattle, sheep and wine as sacrifices in front of the city gate, solemnly paying homage to the soldiers who died in the anti-Japanese war. This move won the goodwill and respect of the people. Over time, the name of the young Marquis Jin Fengju resounded throughout Quanzhou and beyond.
*********************************************
"Qiu Ning, haven't you packed it up yet? In fact, you don't need to bring anything with you, ah... right? You want to bring it with you? This... This cat can just stay at home to catch mice. What can it do if it is taken to the island? What if it happens? If it falls into the water from a boat, someone has to go out and salvage it.”
Jin Fengju stopped at the door of the bedroom, staring at the old cat inside the door, and loudly expressed his dissatisfaction to Fu Qiuning in the room.
"How could they fall off the boat? Cats are smart. In fact, many cats can swim, but they are naturally afraid of water. Don't worry, the old cat is so smart, he will definitely not fall into the water." Fu Qiuning walked out of the back room, Holding two bundles in his hand, he smiled and said, "Okay, are you ready? You can leave when you are ready."
Jin Fengju made great achievements this time. Not only did he not die at the hands of the Japanese pirates, he beat the Japanese pirates until they cried for their fathers and mothers. In the end, they even destroyed the Japanese pirates' lairs on several islands. This move was not surprising. But it was beyond the prince's expectation and shocked the whole world. He only hated the prince till his teeth were itching, but there was nothing he could do about it.
What made the prince most angry was that his only loyal chess piece in Fujian also "sacrificed with honor" in the anti-Japanese battle. Of course, he didn't know that this was because Jin Fengju found out that he was forcing the official family members. The person who was behind the move out of the government office just let him "sacrifice" on the battlefield. If he had known about it, I'm afraid His Royal Highness would not just be the glaring look he is now, and it would not be impossible for him to vomit three liters of blood.
Because the Japanese pirates were defeated, good news came frequently in the northern battlefield. The emperor rewarded many trophies seized from the northern battlefield, such as mink fur cloaks, tiger skins and wolf skins. Tatar things were the only things that caught the emperor's eye. There are only these soft and smooth furs. The old man doesn't pay attention to anything else, even gold and silver, let alone cattle and sheep.
Seeing that it was already late autumn, Jin Fengju estimated that as the war in the northern battlefield was coming to an end, he, the prefect of Quanzhou, might not be able to do it in the long run, because he had long promised to take the children to play on the small island after the Japanese pirates were defeated. After the triumphant return, the children all remembered this. Jin Fengju had no choice but to fulfill his promise.
The Japanese pirates have been a problem for a long time. Although nearly four months of fighting has almost wiped out the Japanese pirates along the coast, the people are still worried. Jin Fengju wanted to take advantage of this trip to give the people reassurance. , so that they can understand: the troubles of Japanese pirates have become history.
Therefore, Fu Qiuning handed the two bundles to Jian Fengyujie, and asked Jin Fengju: "Although it is important to make the people feel at ease, sir, do you have any idea? Don't encounter the remaining Japanese pirates again. Until then, that’s it for you and me, I’m worried about the kids.”
Jin Fengju smiled and said: "Don't worry, if it's not 100% sure, can I let the children take risks?" Seeing that several children came out neatly dressed, he touched their heads one by one, and then said with a smile: "Okay, let's set off."
This time Jin Fengju took Fu Qiuning and the children to a large island, which was actually Taiwan Island. However, in this dynasty, it was not called Taiwan, but Dongfan.
Until she was sitting on the boat, Fu Qiuning still had an unreal feeling. Watching Jin Fengju peeling an orange leisurely beside her, she couldn't help but ask again: "Master, is this... not too exciting? "
"What's the reason for mobilizing troops?" Jin Fengju glanced at Fu Qiuning, shook his head and said with a smile: "Don't even think about it, if there were no ships like this and a navy like this, why should I go raid the Japanese pirates' lair? Why should I let these Japanese pirates at sea run away? In fact, the ship is still the same one we had when we came down from the capital, but it only has two thousand more sailors. Are you so shocked?"
Fu Qiuning couldn't see how complacent he looked at this time, and said angrily: "Can I not be shocked? What if people say that the prefect of Quanzhou is so grand and grand, leading his wife and children on a trip, and having a thousand navy escorts, a book Come on, are you afraid that the prince won't be able to catch your pigtails?"
Jin Fengju sneered, raised his eyebrows and said, "My pigtail? Well, why not just let him catch it again? I'm afraid he won't be able to decide on my appointments in the future."
Fu Qiuning curled his lips and said: "Come on, don't be complacent first. When you encounter Japanese pirates, where will you put your face?"
"So what if we meet? They're just remnants of soldiers, just enough for the two thousand navy to mop up the rear. Otherwise, why do you think I would mobilize so many troops?" Jin Fengju peeled the orange, came to Fu Qiuning, and personally broke off a piece and sent it in In her beloved wife's mouth, she then said with great ambition: "The Japanese pirates were completely wiped out this time. Even some little shrimps either hated me deeply and waited for revenge, or they just fled away without a trace. Just in time, if there is such a strong heart to come, Those who seek revenge from me, I will fulfill their wishes and let them accompany the Japanese pirate brothers. Qiuning, the Japanese pirates will no longer be a problem. Di Bao, who came to Suzhou the day before yesterday, has built three warships The ship, just looking at the drawing, is bigger than our ship. Now that the sea ban has been lifted, the power of warships and naval forces will definitely be strengthened in the future. In this vast sea, there is really no chance for the Japanese to take advantage of it. From now on, my grand plan for the hegemony of the Ning Dynasty will not only be on land, but the sea that is thousands of miles or even tens of thousands of miles will eventually become part of the territory of Daning."
Damn, this guy is also thinking about the sea. Tsk tsk, I really don’t know how this period of history will develop. Could it be that in the future of this era, China will not be bullied and oppressed, but will become a powerful country with countless colonies? Fu Qiuning thought, no matter how much he thought about it, he thought this was ridiculous.
"What are you thinking about? You're so lost in thought?" Jin Fengju stuffed another orange slice into Fu Qiuning's mouth. Seeing that she was stunned, he smiled and asked.
Fu Qiuning came back to his senses, glanced at Jinfengju, raised his eyebrows and smiled: "I was thinking that I have such an ambition to reach the clouds, and he also said that he would take me to visit the mountains and rivers in the Xiaoao Mountain Forest in the future. Conquering the sea is not something that can happen overnight. Even if you devote your whole life to it, you may not realize your dream of dominating the sea. Do you still have time to fulfill your promise?"
Jin Fengju laughed loudly, patted Fu Qiuning's shoulder and said: "Haha, don't worry, good wife, I'm not doing this. I'm just making a plan, and other ministers will execute it. The emperor will supervise the progress. When the time comes, Of course I can get out of it."
As he finished speaking, he suddenly heard Jin Ming say from outside: "Sir, Dongfan Island has arrived. Should you and your wife get off the ship now? Or should you just sit on the deck and watch the scenery for a while?"
"What's there to see? Get off the boat. Qiuning, let me tell you, this Dongfan Island is amazing. Many people told me that this island is truly rich and beautiful. Many inland people are just greedy for the scenery and food here. Since then, we have taken root here, which shows the charm of this big island.”
