Chapter 96 The Subjugated Empress Dowager

The night is dark, a full moon hangs high in the sky, the shadow of the moon is reflected in the depths of the sea, and the water is sparkling. This is a very peaceful and gentle picture.

Then, not far from the reflection of the moon, a fight was taking place.

This is the depths of Lihai, and it is about to leave the edge of Lihai. In the past, this sea area was full of pirates. They robbed passing merchant ships, raped and plundered, and did all kinds of evil. Merchants hated them very much!

During the Daqi Dynasty, Haicheng had a navy, and the navy would patrol the waters of Lihai, and the pirates were more restrained. Then when Daqi was caught in a war, Haicheng's navy was either transferred back to the capital, or joined forces with the pirates.

During the two years when piracy was the most rampant, there were basically no shadows of merchant ships on the sea. It was because Haicheng's navy was re-established in the past two years that merchants who were devoted to profit dared to take risks. If you don't encounter pirates, you can go to the ocean and come back, and you will basically be rich for a lifetime.

However, tonight, this merchant ship was not lucky. They encountered the most ferocious Gomali pirates. There are foreigners and Han Chinese in them. Their lairs are stationed on the islands. There are countless islands in Lihai sea area. Who knows where they hide?

Just when the owner of the merchant ship was desperate, Haicheng's navy stepped into the battle with swift force.A merchant ship surrounded in the middle is the owner of the merchant fleet. He is a middle-aged man in his prime. At this time, he knelt on the deck and thanked God.

Well, he shouldn't thank God, he should thank Haicheng's navy.

One can vaguely hear the voice of a woman in the fighting team, sandwiched in the sound of swords piercing flesh, it is so abrupt.

The fight ended after half an hour. The navy captured a small number of members of the Gomali Pirates alive, most of them were Han Chinese, a small number were foreigners, and some pirates saw that the situation was not going well, so they escaped at the right time.

The owner of the merchant ship waited for a while before an officer from the navy came to approach him. The officer didn't say anything, but told them to set sail back to Haicheng. The merchant ship went ahead, and the navy ships would sail behind.

The moonlight was cunning, the water was turbulent, and there was silence all around, with the occasional chirping of seabirds spreading.

"Ma'am, we succeeded!" A woman in navy uniform saluted Yunyao, her expression was very excited, behind her were a dozen women also in military uniform, all of them couldn't hide the surprise on their faces , They also participated in the fight just now. They couldn't do it when they were asked to kill at first. After all, killing people still requires a certain amount of psychological endurance. Different paths, they have to break through this inner difficulty.

Yun Yao patted the leader woman on the shoulder: "Yes, we have succeeded after taking the first step!"

After coming to Haicheng, Ba Xiong was training the navy, and Yunyao didn't want to stay in the house all the time, so she started to form the women's navy by herself. As the world knows, she only recruited eleven people, but she was not discouraged, Bringing eleven people to train with Ba Xiong's navy soldiers, tonight is the first time these eleven women have played in battle.

"But you can't be complacent. You are still very far away from being a real soldier. If you want to control your own destiny, you need us to work hard and keep moving forward. Only when we stand on a high ground can we have more words right."

"Yes, ma'am, we will never forget your teaching!"

The leading woman has the same surname as Yanfeng, named Yanping. Her family is from a small alley in the southern district of Haicheng, but their family is very patriarchal from grandparents to parents. It was the year of Huaxin, and Yan's family planned to marry her to the stupid son of a rich man in the same district. Yanping didn't want to, so she ran out of the house, just in time to see the notice of recruiting soldiers for the navy, and there was also a small notice next to it, saying that she was recruiting girls. Bing, in order to get out of trouble, she signed up without even thinking about it.

Of course, not all of the eleven girls are like Yanping. Some girls are from poor families, their father died young, and their mother alone raised their sisters and a younger brother. Enrolled in the military.

In the passage behind the cabin, Ba Xiong and his lieutenant were standing in the shadow. walk out.

Under the moonlight, a man and a woman stood at the bow of the boat, the water was shimmering, and the sea breeze was blowing gently.

"Yaoyao is awesome!" Ba Xiong now has a gentle demeanor, not at all like the ferocious appearance when he was fighting with the pirates just now.

Yun Yao gave him a blank look: "You are talking nonsense with your eyes open, I didn't make a move tonight, okay?"

Ba Xiong felt that it was not a white eye but a wink, and he was very happy in his heart. He stretched out his hand secretly, and then hugged Yunyao. Yunyao just glanced at the big hand that suddenly protruded from her left shoulder, and didn't say anything. Anyway, I sleep in the same bed at night, and it's okay to hug me.

"Yaoyao, I really can't think of what I forgot." Ba Xiong was extremely distressed. For more than a year, he tried to think hard whenever he had free time, but his mind went blank. Can't think of anything.

Yun Yao glanced at him from the side, his square face, apart from the raised brows, really couldn't tell that he was in any distress.

"I'll always remember it, don't worry!" Yun Yao blinked, the lie was very smooth, she didn't know when this guy would remember.

Ba Xiong smashed his mouth, how could he not be in a hurry?It's really useless to be anxious!

I saw the pier of Haicheng from a distance. The naval ships passed the pier but did not enter. They continued to sail forward. After sailing for another quarter of an hour, the ships arrived at the naval base.

The owner of the merchant ship who successfully landed wanted to thank the officer again for his life-saving grace, but found that there were no ships behind. Before he knew it, the navy had already parted ways with them.

After getting off the boat, Yunyao took Yanping's 11 people back to the dormitory to settle down. She clearly gave everyone two days' vacation. They can stay in the dormitory to rest, or go home to visit relatives. go home.

The place where Ba Xiong and Yunyao live is not in the center of Haicheng City, it is closer to the naval base, in the eastern suburbs of Haicheng, and it only takes half an hour for Yunyao to ride a horse.

When she returned to the mansion, it was already Chen's hour, and Yanfeng had already gotten up early to exercise, running, dancing swords, riding horses, and reading in the morning.

When Yunyao walked in, she heard the child's voice reciting, which was clear and sweet.

In the blink of an eye, three years have passed, and the six-year-old Yan Feng has grown up a lot compared to the three-year-old Yan Feng. Not only is he taller, but he has already understood many things. It is not easy to lie to him.

Yunyao stood quietly at the side, and after Yanfeng and Xiaosi, Xiaosi, Wuxiaoliu and Xiaoliu had finished reading, the children realized that there were extra people in the corridor.

Little Four, Little Five, and Little Six rushed to greet Yunyao, Yunyao waved her hand, and hugged her son who flew over, "That's right, I'm not being lazy."

"Mom, you're back!" Yanfeng looked behind Yunyao with a smile on his face, but he didn't see Ba ​​Xiong, so he asked, "Where's Dad? Why didn't you come back together? And Sister Yanping and the others What was the result of the first actual battle?"

"You have so many questions, which one should I answer first?"

Yan Feng immediately replied: "Where's dad?"

"Your father won't be back until the afternoon. His official duties are much busier than mine."

After Yunyao had breakfast with her son, the letters from the capital arrived. It was a big package. She took out a few letters inside and put them on the table, and put the letters for Ba Xiong aside. She opened her own The letters are browsed.

Shopkeeper Yao, Shopkeeper Hao and others routinely report things, so it’s okay for her to see it. She is now in Haicheng, and the capital’s affairs are out of her control. All she needs is for the two shopkeepers to manage the embroidery building and restaurant well.

"Hey, Susu is getting married." Feng Ruosu's letter was announcing the good news, and Yunyao was overjoyed. She said that she would marry again in September, this time to a fourth-rank general in the army. There are two sons and one daughter, Feng Ruosu has two sons and a daughter, now that they are married, they have four sons and two daughters, but the general's children are older than Feng Yi's three brothers and sisters, Feng Ruosu is a smart woman, Yun Yao doesn't worry about her will have a bad time.

Getting married in September, it's only July, there is still time to send congratulatory gifts to Beijing, Yun Yao thought, folded the letters, put them back at hand, and picked up the last letter to read.

This letter was sent by the emperor, and Yunyao and Ba Xiong's letters were sent by Wu Yushu and Mumbaiping, so whenever they want to send a letter to Haicheng, they have to go to the palace to ask I asked if His Majesty the Emperor had any letters to send?Every time the emperor personally wrote the letter, and of course Yunyao and the two also replied to the letter.

This made the people around the emperor envious and jealous, but they did not dare to behave like Ba Xiong and Yun Yao, they were terribly afraid of the emperor.

The emperor's wording is very elegant, and 90.00% of the whole article is complaining, saying that he has troubles with having too many sons and daughters. Over the past year, the emperor has added a princess and a prince. At the end of this article, the empress is finally pregnant Already, anticipating the disputes between the legitimate son and the concubine in the future, the emperor felt that his head was getting bigger.

The last paragraph is a gentle reminder, how could she do such a dangerous thing as a woman?

Yun Yao raised her eyebrows, noncommittal, why can't she do it?This emperor is really the most masculine person she has ever seen, but the emperor has an advantage, if he doesn't like it, he doesn't like it, but he won't stop her from doing things.

In the evening, Ba Xiong came back from the army, saw the letter from the capital, carefully browsed through the letters from the two younger brothers, and finally opened the letter from the emperor. He had expected that the emperor would blame him in the letter, and he would not be surprised.

"Yaoyao, Feng'er, I will accompany you later." Ba Xiong took the letter and went into the study, and said as he walked, "I have to talk about him, his thinking is too old-fashioned, how can a man come without women? Wasn't he born to a woman? By belittling women between the lines, is he trying to deny the Empress Dowager Xiaoci?"

Yun Yao is not surprised by this, ever since Ba Xiong showed his true colors in front of the emperor because of her, the two often disagree on one point of view, of course, basically every time the emperor is defeated, the emperor is also very depressed, so he just I don't understand, it doesn't matter if he can't beat in martial arts, why can't he still beat Ba Xiong in terms of words?

In less than half an hour, Ba Xiong came back.

The blue sky and white clouds, the setting sun hanging in the sky, and the sea breeze blowing.

Because of the climate, Yanfeng has changed from a white bun with thin skin and tender flesh into a bronze-colored boy in the past few months. He has seen army soldiers training, and he is quite satisfied with the current changes. Also go to army training.

"In a while, after I clear all the islands in Lihai, you can go to the island for vacation." Ba Xiong stroked his chin and thought about how to use the island. He planned to take care of all the islands in Lihai. Choose a few islands with large areas and no dangerous beasts to develop them for tourism.

Vacationing is of course good, but this is not a modern society, there is no modern equipment, and the island has to form a tourist route, which is a long-term development plan.

The next day, before returning to the army, Yunyao went to Gao's house next door to visit the pregnant Qiu Yun.

"Sister-in-law." Seeing Yunyao, Qiu Yun immediately stood up, she was doing show work on the porch.

Yun Yao quickly pushed her down on the chair, and she took advantage of the opportunity to sit beside Qiu Yun, "Don't do too much show work, be careful that your eyes get tired."

Qiu Yun smiled and said: "Yes, I remember. I have a child, so I don't dare to be tired."

Gao Da has not been at home for a long time, and Qiu Yun is pregnant. Yunyao comes to chat with her every time she comes back, cares about her psychological needs, and guides her step by step. She can do whatever she wants, such as talking with Wei. Phantom does business together in Haicheng.

Wei Huanling, Wang Sheng, and Gao Qi are in charge of all Yunyao's business in Haicheng. Of course, Yunyao is the shopkeeper, Wang Sheng and Gao Qi don't ask for anything in return, and Wei Huanling can't, so only Wei Huanling is in charge. [-]% of her business is owned by her, and [-]% is owned by Yanfeng.

Back in the army, Yunyao continued to lead the training of the female soldiers. Within three months, the number of female soldiers increased to 20. Although it was far behind the number of male soldiers, Yunyao was not discouraged. She had time .

In the evening, today's training was over, Yun Yao waved goodbye to the female soldiers, then returned to her residence in the barracks, cleaned up briefly, and rode back home.

Just in time to have dinner with her son, Yanfeng was very happy. After dinner, Yunyao checked his homework. Now she is teaching Yanfeng's homework, and she will assign two to three days of homework for him. Finish it in the next time, after she comes back to check, teach him what he doesn't understand, and then continue to assign homework, so it goes round and round.

After the serious schoolwork inspection, Yanfeng eagerly presented a few paintings, all of which were people from the mansion, including Wang Sheng, Gao Qi, Fang Zhao and others, Xiaosi, Xiaowu, Xiaoliu, and the little yellow cat, etc. Wait, in the end it was Yunyao and Ba Xiong's figure paintings, but the little guy didn't draw himself.

Yun Yao smiled and said: "The painting is not bad." She spread out the painting and explained to him carefully how to apply ink to achieve a better effect, and how to apply some pigments to make a painting more vivid.

After explaining the painting skills, Yunyao took advantage of the opportunity to paint the last painting. Yanfeng was drawn in front of her and Ba Xiong. He and Ba Xiong were holding Yanfeng's hand. It is like swinging on a swing. The whole picture of Yanfeng is a cartoon image, which seems to be as distorted as the characters painted by Yanfeng.

Yan Feng is only a little over six years old, and no matter how good his drawing skills are, it is impossible to catch up with Yun Yao, so the characters he draws are somewhat distorted to varying degrees. It just so happens that Yun Yao's cartoon characters seem to be in line with him, after all, in this era There are no cartoon characters yet.

Yan Feng's face turned red all of a sudden, he was a little shy, he was already an older child, so he was never so stupid!

A fluffy head came in from the door, Yunyao felt bewildered and speechless when she saw it, she really couldn't figure out why the beard on Ba Xiong's face grew so fast?Often after two days, the beard is as long as a finger. Is it because of overnutrition?

"Feng'er." Ba Xiong walked behind Yan Feng and hugged Yan Feng up. Only then did Yan Feng realize that Ba Xiong had returned, and he was overjoyed again.

"Father, you're back!" Yan Feng tugged Ba Xiong's beard, then pointed at the paintings on the table, and said with a smile, "Guess this painting is all mine?"

Ba Xiong looked at Yunyao frequently, but now that his son is older, he recognized it at a glance, pinched Yanfeng's nose, "Test me?"

Yunyao idly watched their father and son 'show affection' in front of her with arms crossed, and finally Ba Xiong said happily: "Yaoyao, we will take Tian'an Island to do the final survey in the future."

It's October now, the weather is getting colder, and the seaside doesn't feel it yet, so it's time for Yanfeng to go play with him.

"Father, I want to go, I want to go!" Yanfeng hugged Baxiong's neck tightly and began to act like a baby, but Baxiong couldn't bear it, so he reluctantly agreed.

Two days later, Yun Yao and Yan Feng boarded the ship. Behind the navy ship, there was a fleet of five people. These were the major merchants in Haicheng, and Wei Huanling was among them.

There is an extra woman in the Haicheng business world, and the businessmen can't find out her details, but everyone only knows that she knows Wu Chenghou and Mrs. Yan who are new to the Haicheng Military Region, so in the business field, there will be no secrets. To deal with Wei Huanling, but whether they can gain a firm foothold in the business field depends on Wei Huanling's ability, they will not risk their lives to accompany a gentleman!

When they arrived at Tian'an Island, Ba Xiong and his lieutenants took a group of businessmen to investigate the island, while Yun Yao took Yanfeng to play on the beach.

The October sun shone warmly on his body, and it was noon again, Yanfeng took off his shoes and ran up and down on the beach, with four, five, and six at his side.

Two hours later, the large army from Shangdao came back, and the businessman's circle sat directly on the beach, as if they had run [-] laps.

On the contrary, Wei Huanling was a different kind, she wasn't tired at all, and after playing with Yanfeng on the beach for a while, she came to Yunyao's side and sat on the ground.

"Sister, I understand what brother-in-law means. Are you optimistic about this kind of play mode?" Wei Huanling felt that it would be fine if his family built a holiday villa on the island, but it would be a bit reluctant to use it for business. , she felt that no one would come at all.

Yun Yao nodded and shook her head again: "I like it, but it may not be effective in a short time. After decades or hundreds of years, society has improved and people have spare money at home, so this game mode will prevail." Pause , continued: "However, you have to do it, just build a luxury resort island for yourself."

In short, traveling is now a pastime only for rich people. Unlike modern society, where the tourism industry is developed, only people with a little spare money can travel.

Wei Huanling nodded, even if the army advocated the development of the island, even if it didn't make any money, he still had to participate!In order to prevent these islands from becoming nests of islands, Ba Xiong must control all the islands in his hands. Naturally, he must mobilize the power of merchants. On their own, what do they need so many islands?Do an experiment, fry one a day?

The capital, the imperial palace, the emperor Pei Yi looked at the letter in his hand and crumpled the letter paper into a ball. After a while, he flattened the letter paper bit by bit. He was thinking, should he continue to let Ba Xiong go?Now that he can overstep his arbitrariness, there is no guarantee that he will not pose a huge threat to Daming in the future?Thinking of Yunyao, his arrogance disappeared again.

Becoming a barrier on the Great Ming Sea, Ba Xiong is still as arrogant as ever!But when you think about it carefully, he has a point!

"...I'm not interested in your Jiangshan. I only have Yanfeng, a son who is not of blood. If Jiangshan comes, he will have no heir, so you don't have to worry about me posing any threat to your imperial power. Let's discuss things carefully, dear Minister, far away minister, I hope that your majesty can distinguish between loyal ministers, treacherous ministers, and ministers around you, and humble ministers as straight ministers..."

Pei Yi pouted, if he didn't believe him, how could he let him go to Haicheng?In fact, the one who didn't believe him was obviously that bear!

Pirates are indeed rampant, and the common people hate them deeply. Since Ba Xiong is so confident, he will give him this right.After careful consideration for a long time, Pei Yi carefully wrote down this reply letter, but it was not from the channel through which Wu Yushu and the others sent the letter, but from the secret channel of the imperial court. Ba Xiong also submitted this letter from a secret channel, but Ba Xiong did not I am patient with memorials, so I have been using letter paper.

Five days later, this reply letter was delivered to Ba Xiong. After he opened it and looked at it at a glance, Ba Xiong nodded in understanding.However, I heard that the imperial court is not very peaceful recently. Some of his mud-legged brothers once became rich, and now they are making a fool of themselves.
