Rise From the Humble

"This is the cotton armor we will wear from now on. It is invulnerable to swords, can protect against bows and arrows, is impervious to rain, is impervious to mold and mildew, and is invulnerable to birds and muskets. It is trustworthy in the light of swords and shadows, in the rain of bullets and bullets, in wind and rain."

"Did you hear that? We all have one. Everyone can wear a set of cotton armor. It makes me excited just thinking about it."

"Don't be excited about that. The guard station only has a 30% to 40% armor-wearing rate. I heard that only the imperial guards around the emperor can wear armor. I didn't expect that everyone in our Zhejiang army can wear armor. With this cotton armor on my body, I feel like I I can beat five unarmored me."

"Wearing cotton armor is equivalent to five or six extra lives on the battlefield. One can fight five. One with bare hands cannot defeat one with weapons. Similarly, one with weapons cannot defeat one with armor. This is Common sense. If the armor on our body is strong, even if we are not as skilled as others, we will not be afraid of being stabbed and slashed by him first. We have armor and he cannot hurt me. Even if we are clumsy in handicrafts and martial arts, we can still kill him if we stab him in the back. Got him."

All the soldiers of the Zhejiang Army were overjoyed with excitement and became more energetic in their drills. Not only were they not afraid of going to the battlefield, they were even looking forward to it. They were looking forward to wearing cotton armor and killing all directions, killing Japanese pirates with their heads rolling, being rewarded for their meritorious service, and honoring their ancestors. , married a village beauty, raised two children in one year, and reached the pinnacle of life.

"I'm here to pay my respects to Lord Zhu. The Governor has given orders. Zhao Wenhua, the imperial envoy from Jihai, arrived in Yangzhou yesterday and will arrive in Yingtian in the near future. Please arrange your military affairs and set off for Yingtian, waiting for the imperial envoy to arrive."

An orderly soldier with an order flag riding his horse arrived at the Zhejiang Army camp. After being informed, he came to Zhu Pingan, knelt down on one knee, and presented a lacquered official document with both hands, briefly summarizing Zhang Jing's order.

Zhao Wenhua is here!

When Zhu Pingan heard the news, he couldn't help but twitch his lips. This is not good news!

Historically, Zhao Wenhua came to Jiangnan to worship the sea and stayed in Jiangnan for a year or two. Relying on the powerful Strict Party forces, he turned Jiangnan's officialdom into a mess and gave the Japanese pirates an opportunity to take advantage of it, making the Japanese troubles worse. Until Hu Zongxian came to power, Jiangnan Only then did the officialdom stabilize, and the great cause of the fierce Japanese pirates began to set sail.

Zhao Wenhua is just a stick man, addicted to food, but he also likes to get involved in the military, just like the micro-management masters of later generations.

Unfortunately, the Strict Party is now too powerful and powerful. This shit-stirring stick has the strong support of the Strict Party, so it cannot be thrown away and will continue to be folded...

Thinking of this gives me a headache.

However, everything depends on human effort, and everything is subject to change until the last moment. Besides, there is a butterfly from the future flapping its wings. Nothing in this world is difficult except for those who are determined. It is still unclear who will win.

Thinking of this, Zhu Ping'an became full of fighting spirit again. He took the official document from the messenger's hand and said with a smile, "Thank you for your hard work, envoy. Let's warm up with a cup of hot tea."

After saying that, Zhu Ping'an put the official document aside and poured a cup of hot tea with his own hands, holding the teapot and handing it to the messenger.

"No, thank you for your kindness. I have to rush to inform other adults." The messenger declined politely.

"I know you are in a hurry. This pot of tea is not hot and is just warm enough to drink. It won't be too late to set off after drinking it."

Zhu Pingan smiled slightly and explained.

"Thank you for your consideration."

The messenger was very moved when he heard this. He had rarely met such an approachable and considerate big man in his life.

After running all the way, I was really thirsty. A cup of warm oolong tea entered my stomach. It was like a rain of rain after a long dry time. My whole body was moisturized. My thirst was gone. My whole body felt warm and full of strength. full HP resurrection.

While the messenger was drinking tea, Zhu Ping'an opened the official document and read it carefully. The content of the official document was to inform Zhao Wenhua of his imminent arrival, but in more detail, Zhao Wenhua's identity, the imperial envoy on his shoulders, the approximate time of arrival, and the dock where he arrived. , the Yamen where you are staying, the range of officials who need to be present and waiting, etc.

After the messenger drank tea, he stood up and left. Zhu Ping'an knew that he had to go to others to inform others, so he did not stay any longer.

Hu Zongxian is here.

Zhao Wenhua is coming too.

Jiangnan is becoming more and more lively, and the ups and downs and magnificent history are about to begin.

Haha, I'm a little excited.

Zhu Ping'an called Liu Mu, Ruofeng and other battalion commanders to explain the drill matters, and encouraged them to drill rigorously, especially the fire gun drill. Although the fire gun cannot be held in one hand, it must be done Everyone knew how to use fire guns; then, Zhu Ping'an called a few craftsmen to explain the cotton armor matter, and then took Liu Dadao and ten personal guards to Taohuaji Town.

Zhao Wenhua will not be able to arrive in Yingtian until at least tomorrow afternoon, so he still has time to accompany Sister Li today. Well, he also has time to educate his children in the evening.

A century-old plan, education comes first.

"Brother Zhu is back."

Li Shu was pleasantly surprised when she saw Zhu Pingan's arrival. Zhu Pingan usually didn't come back until dinner time, but today it wasn't dinner time yet.

"We are going to Yingtian early tomorrow morning. Zhao Wenhua, the imperial envoy from Jihai, will be coming soon and will summon all officials of fifth rank and above to pick him up." Zhu Pingan explained simply that this does not involve any secrets and there is no need to hide it.

"Yingtian"

Li Shu's eyes lit up, but soon darkened again. Her body was not suitable for long journeys and her belly was too big.

"I've finished my business and will be back soon." Zhu Ping'an comforted.

"Okay." Li Shu's mood recovered.

"Let's go. It's still early. Let me take a walk with you. I heard that walking more is good for pregnant women."

Zhu Pingan took Li Shu's hand and supported Li Shu's waist, as if caring for the most precious porcelain in the world.

"You don't need to be so careful. People will see it in broad daylight," Li Shuqiao said with a blushing face.

"What are you afraid of? We are already an old couple."

Zhu Ping'an didn't take it seriously. This small scene was not worth mentioning in modern times. Kissing in the street was somewhat common, unless...

"Shameless" Li Shu was irritated, but she seemed to find it helpful. She was supported by Zhu Pingan for a walk in the yard.

The sun is about to set, and the evergreen flowers and trees planted in the yard are shining in the sun.

Zhu Pingan supported Li Shu for a walk in the sunshine. The scene was very warm. The girls and old ladies in the yard who saw this scene were all stuffed with mouthfuls of dog food. Of course, they were all very willing to do this.

"Oh, I'm so embarrassed so early in the morning, I'm getting goosebumps."

The enchantress Ruonan came to see Hua'er. When she saw this scene, she couldn't help but rub her arms, shake the goosebumps on her body, and muttered softly.

"It's so heartwarming. My uncle and my lady are so loving." Hua'er held her little face with both hands and was so moved.
