Chapter 294 The Unlucky Punggala Khanate
Chapter 294 The Unlucky Punggala Khanate
The family was discussing the trip to Nanyang in the flower hall, and the maid led Shani and her family in.
"It's not too late for us to come. We could have come earlier, but something delayed us." As soon as she entered the door, Shani talked to herself and looked at Xia Jing: "Jingjing, don't blame me. It’s too late.”
Xia Jing raised her lips slightly: "How could that be!"
"Don't blame me for not welcoming you today. I know our Jingjing is a sensible and reasonable person." Xia Dani smiled from ear to ear.
The other people in the flower hall couldn't help but twitch their mouths after hearing this. It sounded like the fourth child was an ignorant girl.
Chen's eyes were now focused on the people following Shani, "My father-in-law and mother-in-law are here, come and sit down, don't stand."
The father and aunt of the Li family glanced at Li Jingfu who was sitting at the top, gave a stiff smile, and sat down honestly.
Xia Qingshan's eyes turned around the two elders of the Li family and frowned slightly. Today was a good day for the Xia family's girls to return to their parents' home. The eldest sister came back with her husband and children. He could understand why these two old men and women Coming too?
Xia Jing's eyes fell on the children of the Li family who were greeting their elders.
Shani married into the Li family and gave birth to two sons and a daughter, and the girl was Li Yingzi, who had a secret affair with Tong Song.
Xia Jing knew the dishes at Tong Song Restaurant, so she naturally paid more attention to Li Yingzi.
Li Yingzi bowed to several male elders, walked up to Mrs. Chen and bowed, and then bowed to Xia Jing: "Yingzi has met my aunt. I haven't seen her for many years. Does my aunt still remember Yingzi?"
"Of course I remember." Xia Jing waved to her, and when she walked in front of her, she took off a bracelet from her wrist and put it on her wrist.
Seeing this, Mrs. Li quickly said: "Her aunt, you are too polite. There is no need to give such an expensive gift to my niece when we meet her."
After saying that, the old lady said to Li Yingzi: "Yingzi, why don't you thank your aunt quickly? Such an expensive gift for you shows how much she values you!"
After that, he laughed at everyone in the flower hall.
Xia Jing wiped the corners of her slightly hooked mouth with a handkerchief. She ignored Mrs. Li who was enjoying herself, but turned to Shani and said, "Sister, you will be blessed for giving birth to such a beautiful daughter."
Shani smiled awkwardly: "She is lucky to have a kind word from the Queen Mother."
After hearing this, Xia Jing glanced at Li Yingzi who was standing behind the master with a blushing face, and then said nothing more.
Mrs. Chen glanced at her youngest son-in-law, Li Jingfu, and then looked at Father Xia, who was the Supreme Emperor and Dayu's most distinguished guest.When the two in-laws of the Li family came, they were not seen bowing to Li Jingfu who was sitting at the head.
Although the two families are relatives, at least we don't need to talk about the common etiquette. At worst, the two elders of the Li family are despising the royal family, which is a serious crime!
The old lady didn't seem to have this consciousness. Seeing Xia Jing's silence, she spoke again: "Her aunt, of the three children in our family, your three nephews, only the eldest is married, and the other two are not yet settled. As their aunt, you also help to advise them. There are so many young talents and officials in the court, which one do you think is suitable for them, and give them a marriage?"
"My mother-in-law, how can marriage be a trivial matter!" Mrs. Chen stopped her. At this moment, she finally understood why the two old men and ladies from the Li family came to the house.
At this moment, Mrs. Chen was still a little angry. It was fine that her in-laws were scheming against her, but now she wanted to scheming against her own daughter. If it weren't for the sake of face between the two families, she might have fallen out with her by now, and why would he give her anything? Good look.
Xia Jing looked at the angry Mrs. Chen and felt a little warm in her heart. She raised her head and met the shrewd triangular eyes of the old lady of the Li family. A sneer curled up her lips: "The emperor is particular about granting marriages. Either he is a member of the royal family or he has merit. Minister, what contribution did your Li family make to the imperial court?"
Mrs. Li stared after hearing this: "There is something special about this. Isn't it just a matter of lip service? Is it as mysterious as you say?"
Xia Jing didn't want to argue with such an ignorant old lady, so she turned to look at the man sitting at the bottom. This is the so-called brother-in-law: "I heard that you recently entered the academy to study, preparing to take the exam. Your mother If you don’t understand these principles, you should understand them, right? How about you help your mother explain Dayu’s laws?"
When his name was called, Brother-in-law Li raised his head and smiled honestly: "My mother is just an ignorant old lady. Don't take her words to heart. My family has neither fame nor merit. I dare not trouble my mother to grant them a marriage. I hope you won’t be offended!”
Listening to He Xini's words, Xia Jing was filled with anger, "In that case, don't be shy in asking for this or that in the future."
"That is, your Li family has no merit and you are not a royal family. How can you have the courage to ask for rewards with a shameless face?"
Li Jingfu has long been annoyed by this unreasonable old lady. Ever since they entered the flower hall, they disturbed the rhythm of his and his father-in-law's conversation.
Moreover, this old lady likes to speak with a loud voice. Whenever she speaks, she will make him dizzy and extremely irritable.
"What the Emperor said was that we overstepped the mark!" Brother-in-law Li was so frightened that sweat broke out on his forehead. He wiped the sweat and hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed to apologize.
"Son." Looking at their frightened son who was kneeling on the ground with a miserable look on his face, the two elders of the Li family felt so distressed that they almost suffocated.
"Jingjing, please let them go this time for the sake of my sister!" Shani also knelt down.
Mrs. Chen rubbed her forehead with a headache and scolded: "Dani, get up!"
How could she give birth to such a brainless girl? The Li family wanted to take advantage of their little girl by relying on their relationship with them, and they were the kind of people who couldn't get enough of the advantage.
The Li family is so greedy, wouldn't it be nice to let their little girl scare them?
Seeing the farce in front of him, Father Xia quickly asked the kitchen to prepare meals and invited everyone to eat together.
It was also during this time that the Li family and Xia Jing couple were arranged separately to prevent them from getting together again.
Xia Jing shook her head. It's no wonder that a love-minded mother gave birth to a love-minded girl.
In the past, when Li Yingzi was still young, Xia Jing was actually very optimistic about her. She was pretty, and her status as a niece made her marriage very popular in Lingnan, but she just fell in love with the plot. Most of the ingredients are Tong Song.
Although the Tong family is a big family in Lingnan, compared with the entire Dayu, the Tong family is not ranked at all, and the most important point is that the Tong family has declined.
Nowadays, the Tong family members who are working in the officialdom can no longer support the rise and fall of the entire family.
He has long been reduced to a low-class aristocratic family, and his family background has also become a merchant. To exaggerate, it can be said to be a wealthy merchant.
After returning from Mingyue Hou Mansion, Xia Jing and Li Jingfu never left the house again. They stayed in Prince Qian Mansion and were busy with their own affairs.
And good news came frequently from Donggo's war.
It wasn't until good news came from the port that the fleet to South America was back that Li Jingfu and Xia Jing went out again.
The two of them went to the port to welcome new heroes home, and they were heroes if they dared to go forward and explore unknown areas.
South America is a continent that Dayu has never been to. They risked their lives to go to a foreign land. Now they have returned safely and can be welcomed by the Emperor and the Queen Mother.
Such courtesy almost stunned all the officers and men of the entire fleet.They did not expect that after returning from South America after all the difficulties, they would learn that the emperor had been changed, and the previous emperor had become the Supreme Emperor.
But now the Emperor and the Queen Mother actually came to welcome them back in person. How could they not be shocked and moved by this situation.
The fleet brought back many species from South America this time. What made Xia Jing most happy was that the fleet led by Ming Shui successfully brought back rubber trees and cinchona trees from South America.
Of these two trees, one can drive Dayu's industrial progress, and the other is a special medicine for treating malaria.
Especially when the army is attacking south, if malaria occurs in Dongwu and other places among the soldiers who are adapted to the southern climate, if there is no specific medicine, they will probably be defeated and retreat without the enemy attacking.And countless soldiers will die from malaria.
Xia Jing asked people to plant some rubber trees and cinchona trees in southern Taiwan and southern Annan, and then the planting area would be slowly expanded.
The South American natives brought back by Mingshui were divided into two groups to plant these tree species in two places.
Xia Jing promised them that if they planted these two trees, they would be rewarded, and they would be able to take a boat back to visit relatives next time they went to South America.
"Mother, in addition to bringing back tree species this time, we also brought back a lot of cinchona tree bark."
Ming Shui learned from Li Dingguo that this kind of tree could cure malaria. It happened that when he went to South America this time, more than a dozen soldiers in the fleet were acclimatized and suffered from malaria and high fever. He asked people to get the bark of this tree to boil water for them. They drank it, but they didn't expect that he was actually cured.
I thought that since the bark can cure diseases, I might as well buy the bark from the locals, dry it and bring it back.
This is easy to preserve and brings back life-saving medicinal materials.
It's much easier than bringing the cinchona tree back, and you don't have to wait for the cinchona tree to grow before you can harvest it.
"You also brought back a lot of cinchona tree bark?" Xia Jing looked at Mingshui with surprise on her face. Why is this young man so smart?
"Yes, two ships can be loaded with bare bark!"
"That's a lot, young man, you have done a great job this time!" Xia Jing praised without hesitation.
"This is the general's responsibility for going to South America this time. I don't deserve your praise!"
Without any further delay, the fleet will go to Yi'an Town in Annan tomorrow. Xia Jing asked someone to move some cinchona bark to Yi'an for emergencies.
The jungles in the south are full of miasma. With the cinchona bark, the expeditionary force does not have to worry about acclimatization or malaria after being bitten by mosquitoes.
According to the original history of Dayu, without Xia Jing's time travel, perhaps the Central Plains would have changed a lot now.
Now, under Xia Jing's influence, Dayu's expeditionary army has captured most of Dongwu.
It can be said that the countries south of Annan were most influenced by Xia Jing.
For no other reason, Annan's remaining troops fled to Dongwu, and Dayu's army followed them closely.
Annan's remaining troops were almost wiped out, and Dongwu was almost done harm.
The Dongwu people were forced to resist, but facing the firearms of Dayu's army, they had no choice but to flee.
Perhaps the most unlucky one at the moment is the Punggala Khanate. Their country is thousands of miles away from Dayu, and they are not neighboring countries. The war caused Dongwu's remaining troops to flee to their country.
At this time, the Banggara Khanate was under military threat from Zunnapu'er. When the two sides faced off, no one took action first. However, as soon as Dongwu's remaining troops entered the Banggara Khanate, their plans were instantly disrupted. Rhythm, the city near the east fell into chaos.
When the news reached the palace, its king, Aiya Siding, was so angry that he almost fainted.
Immediately, an order was issued to punish the general who neglected his duty at the border with a cane and was exiled to an island to serve his sentence.
However, the eastern region has fallen into chaos, and the messenger was beaten to death by refugees before he reached the border.
Bangge La is like summer all year round, the land is fertile, and the products are even richer. The remaining Dongwu troops rushed into Bang Ge La, just like a fish entering the sea.
They were bullied by others and almost destroyed the country. Why can the Punggala Khanate live and work in peace and contentment? It will never be allowed. Since I am going to hell, it is better for everyone to fall into hell together and perish together.
After Numa Na Pu'er learned that Banggela was affected by Dongwu's remnant troops and that the eastern region had fallen into chaos, he wasted no time and hurriedly raised troops to attack Banggela. They also knew how to take advantage of the enemy's illness and take their lives.
However, Dayu's army was stationed in Pinarhong. Currently, they were located a certain distance from Dayu's homeland. They should not rush into a war that was far away from the homeland.
Now that the large areas captured from the rear need to be managed, for the time being, Bangge La, Zun Na Pu'er and the remaining troops of Dong Wu are left to fight to the death.The best way for them to deal with it at the moment is to watch the fire from the other side, and when the fire gradually subsides, it will not be too late for them to end the game.
During the war in Banggela, they did not dare to ask other countries for help. They were afraid that if they asked for help, one or two more countries might be added to divide their Banggela Khanate.
The powerful Shendu Empire is currently deploying troops against Afghanistan in the west and has not paid attention to the situation in Banggela for the time being. Otherwise, depending on the nature of the Shendu Empire, they might really send troops to get a share of the pie.
Annan and Dongwu were both attacked, and Li Chengyi, who stayed in the fiefdom of Malajia, was excited.
The Malay Peninsula belonged to his fiefdom, and Annan and Dongwu were attacked by Dayu, which relieved his worries and did not have to worry about being stabbed in the back.
"General Ren, now that we have no worries, should we send troops to Li Dai across the strait?"
Before Xia Jing left, she told him that there were many minerals on the opposite land, and the most important thing was that there might be gold mines.
With such a temptation, how could Li Chengyi not be tempted? He dreams of digging gold mines at night. With money, he can expand his army. With his army, he can seize more territory. For example, so many places in front, left and right are unowned. Why not seize the land and manage it yourself?
Of course, the lordless land he mentioned here refers to the lord without Dayu, and does not include the indigenous people and the Western Yi people.
"We have five thousand soldiers of our own, and the twenty thousand soldiers left to us by the Supreme Emperor are on standby at any time. As long as the prince has orders, we will go immediately."
General Ren replied excitedly that he was the leading general of Li Chengyi's private army. Now the navy left by Li Jingfu is also under his command. He has long wanted to go out and try to command thousands of troops. How heroic is that? !
Of course, if Li Chengyi is not satisfied with the use of these 2 soldiers, he can send them back after he recruits his own army.
