“This is the cotton armour that we will wear in the future, ah, swords and knives can do no harm, bows and arrows can be defended against, rain does not penetrate, bushy black hair does not rot, and bird cannons can’t injure. Trustworthy in the light of swords, in the rain of bullets, in the wind and in the rain.”
“Hear that? We’ve got a set for everyone. Everyone gets to wear a set of cotton armour, it’s exciting to think about it.”
“That’s not exciting, the guards only have an armour rate of 30% to 40%, I heard that only the imperial guards around the emperor can wear armour, I didn’t think that our Zhejian army can wear armour as well. This cotton armour put on the body, I feel I can beat five without armour I ……”
“Clothed with cotton armour, the battlefield is equivalent to more than five or six lives, not one can fight five well. Empty-handed can’t beat with weapons, the same with weapons, wearing clothes can’t beat wearing armour, this is common sense. If the body armour is good, even if we are not as skilled as others, was first poked and cut into the fear, we have armour he can not hurt me, we are clumsy, martial arts stupid, after the poke and cut into him, but also be able to kill him.”
A group of zhejiang army generals excited happy flowers, drill up more energetic, on the battlefield is not only not afraid, and even look forward to up, look forward to their own wearing cotton armour to kill the four sides, kill the Japanese head rolls, meritorious and rewarded, glorious ancestors, marry the village flower, a year hold two children, on the peak of life.
“I pay my respects to Lord Zhu, the Governor-General has ordered that Zhao Wenhua, the Imperial Agent for the Sea Sacrifice, has arrived in Yangzhou yesterday, and will be arriving in Yingtian in the next few days, so please set out for Yingtian after arranging the military affairs, and wait for the Imperial Agent’s arrival.”
A messenger with an order flag steered his horse to the Zhejian army camp, and after a briefing, came before Zhu Pingan, kneeling down on one knee and presenting a fire-painted official letter with both hands, succinctly outlining Zhang Jing’s official order.
Zhao Wenhua has arrived!
Hearing the news, Zhu Pingan could not help but tug the corners of his mouth downwards, this was not good news!
Historically, Zhao Wenhua came to Jiangnan to sacrifice the sea, stayed in Jiangnan for one or two years, relying on the powerful Yan Party forces, Jiangnan officialdom stirred up the sky and darkness in a mess, giving the Japanese the opportunity to take advantage of the Japanese, making the Japanese disaster more and more intense, until Hu Zongxian came to the throne, Jiangnan officialdom stabilised, and martyrdom to the Japanese cause only began to set sail.
Zhao Wenhua is a shit stick, people dish addiction, but also like to meddle in the military, with the latter-day micro-manipulation master.
Unfortunately, now the Yan Party is too powerful, too strong energy, this shit stick has a strong Yan Party support, throw can not be dropped, folded constantly …….
When I think of this, I can not help but have a headache.
However, things are people, not until the last minute, everything is variable, and there is also himself from the future of the hu butterfly in the wings it, the world is not difficult only afraid of people who have the heart, the deer who died is not yet known.
Thinking of this, Zhu Pingan was full of fighting spirit again, took the official document in the hands of the messenger, smiled and said, “The envoy has worked hard, drink a cup of hot tea to warm up your body.”
Saying that, Zhu Pingan put the official document aside and personally carried the teapot and poured a cup of hot tea and handed it to the messenger.
“No need, thank you for your goodwill, I have to rush to inform the other lords.”The messenger politely refused.
“I know that you are in a hurry to catch up, this pot of tea is not hot, it is warm and just right to drink, it is not too late to drink it before you set off.”
Zhu Pingan smiled faintly and explained.
“Many thanks for your compassion, my lord.”
The messenger was touched by his words, he had rarely met such an approachable and considerate person in his life.
Running all the way, really thirsty, gulp gulp, a cup of warm oolong tea into the abdomen, like a long dry rain, the whole person is nourished, thirst is eliminated, the body is warm, and full of strength, full-blooded resurrection.
While the messenger was drinking tea, Zhu Pingan opened the official document and read it carefully, the content of the official document was also to inform the news of Zhao Wenhua’s imminent arrival, but it was a little more detailed, Zhao Wenhua’s identity, his duties as an imperial envoy, the approximate time of his arrival, the pier he arrived at, the magistrate he stayed at, the range of officials that needed to be present to wait for him, and so on.
After the messenger drank his tea, he got up to take his leave, and Zhu Pingan, knowing that he had to go and pass on the others, did not detain him any longer.
Hu Zongxian was coming.
Zhao Wenhua was also coming.
Jiangnan is getting more and more lively, and that tumultuous and dramatic history is about to draw the curtain.
Oh, some excitement.
Zhu Pingan called Liu Mu, Ruofeng and other battalion commanders, explained the drill matters, encouraged them to rigorous drills, especially to focus on cannon drills, although the cannon can not be done manually a hand, but to do so that everyone will be able to use the cannon; then, Zhu Pingan called a few craftsmen, explained some of the cotton armour matters, and then took Liu Dazhou and ten guards to go to the Peach Blossom Market Town first.
Zhao Wenhua will not arrive in Yingtian until at least tomorrow afternoon, so there is still time to accompany Li sister today, well, there is also time to educate and educate the child in the evening ……
A hundred years of planning, education comes first.
“Brother Zhu is back.”
Seeing Zhu Pingan arriving, Li Shu was pleasantly surprised, usually Zhu Pingan would not come back until dinner time, today it was not even dinner time yet.
“I have to go to Yingtian early tomorrow morning, the Sea Sacrifice Chinaman Zhao Wenhua will be coming soon, and all officials above the fifth rank are summoned to receive him.”Zhu Pingan explained simply, this did not involve any secrets, there was no need to hide it.
“Yingtian ah ……”
Li Shu’s eyes lit up, but soon darkened again, her body was not suitable for long journeys anymore, her stomach was too big.
“I’ll be back soon after I’m busy with official business.”Zhu Pingan comforted.
“Okay.”Li Shu’s mood then recovered.
“Let’s go, it’s still early, let me accompany you for a walk, I’ve heard that walking around more is good for a pregnant woman’s health.”
Zhu Pingan pulled Li Shu’s hand and held Li Shu’s waist, like caring for the world’s most precious porcelain.
“No need to be so careful la, letting people see in broad daylight ……”Li Shu’s pretty face flushed, pouted.
“What are you afraid of, we’re all old married couples.”
Zhu Pingan not think, this little scene in modern times are not worth mentioning, kissing in the street or something, also some usual, unless ……
“Cheeky ……”Li Shu pouted, but seemed to be very flattered, helped by Zhu Pingan to walk in the courtyard.
The sun was about to set in the west, and the courtyard was planted with evergreen flowers and trees that shone in the sunlight.
Zhu Pingan helped Li Shu to walk under the sunlight, the picture was very warm, the maids and old mothers in the courtyard who saw this scene were all solidly stuffed with a mouthful of dog food, but of course they were all extremely willing to do so.
“Aiya, pulling and tugging early in the morning, shy or not, goosebumps are up ……”
Demoness Ruo Nan came to look for the painting, after seeing this scene, she couldn’t help but rub her arms and shake the goosebumps on her body, and whispered bellyaching.
“How cosy, Master and Miss are so in love.”Painting child held her hands on her small face, touched.
