"Brother, brother, does this suit look good?" Zhao Zhenfang ran in bouncing around.
Zhao Han is cooling off by the pool. Although it is the autumn harvest season, the autumn tiger in Nanjing is even hotter.
Fei Rulan and Pan Qimei also came in, and they were each wearing new clothes. It seemed that they had just gone shopping in a clothing store.
All tube top Perot shirts, Fei Rulan is better, the sleeves are up to the wrist. Zhao Zhenfang and Pan Qimei were both wearing half-sleeved sleeves, their snow-white arms were exposed.
Don't think that ancient women dressed conservatively. From the paintings left by the Song and Ming dynasties, we can see that women in summer dress very openly.
There are sleeveless shirts, and both arms are completely exposed. You can still see a tube top inside, and you don't even wear a tube top, which vaguely reveals that.
Of course, this is in my own yard.
When going out, you will wear an extra bijia (sleeveless and collarless double-breasted vest).
Fei Rulan smiled and said, "My clan brother (Fei Ruyi) also moved to Nanjing and opened a clothing store. Please invite us to be the first batch of customers."
"Very beautiful." Zhao Han praised.
Holding a bag of melon seeds in her hand, Zhao Zhenfang sat by the pool and kowtowed non-stop: "I heard that eldest sister is going to Gaoyou?"
Zhao Han nodded and said, "When Gaoyou is captured, my brother-in-law will go over there to be the magistrate."
The elder sister's matter has been settled, and Xu Zhiyuan has reconciled with his original partner. His original wife married Zheng Yu, and followed Zheng Yu to Fujian to be an official.
In addition, the Xu family is temporarily split into three branches.
One stayed in Jiangnan, one moved to Fujian, and one moved to Hunan. This kind of big family will continue to be dismantled in the future, not only the Xu family, but many big families in Jiangsu and Zhejiang will also be dismantled.
Fei Yinghuan, Lou's family, and Fei Rumei's family are all in Zhejiang at this time, and Fei Yinghuan's official position is the prefect of Jinhua.
Fei Rulan sat by the pool for a while, feeling terribly hot. Then he got up and left, and came back with Xiyue after a while, and put a few bowls of "milk ice" on the tray.
"I learned how to relieve heat a few days ago." Fei Rulan said with a smile.
Milk ice can be divided into milk and goat milk. Milk is added to the ice, and condiments such as jam are added, which is not much different from modern ice cream.
The method of making ice with saltpeter existed in the Tang and Song dynasties.
The cold drink shops in the Song Dynasty night market did not close until the middle of the night.
When Fei Rulan and the others came to Nanjing, they didn't enjoy much else, but tried all kinds of street snacks and drinks.
Zhao Han scooped up the ice cream with a spoon, and it felt icy in the mouth, and the heat disappeared three points immediately. He commented: "The taste is too sweet, you can put less sugar."
"I think it's just right." Pan Qimei said while licking the ice cream.
Zhao Zhenfang nodded again and again: "Yes, just right, it won't taste good if it's not sweet."
Zhao Han could only agree that the sweetness was right. Looking at the people in front of him, he couldn't help but think of the women drinking milk tea all over the street.
Women are all the same in ancient times and modern times.
Everyone was eating cold drinks when Zheng Sen suddenly came to see him.
The kid ran to the pool, first winked at Zhao Zhenfang, and the little girl immediately rolled her eyes back.
Zheng Sen cupped his hands and said: "Commander, my father heard that there are not enough warships in the Shanghai Navy, so he is willing to sell 20 warships at a low price."
"I've made up my mind." Zhao Han was neither pleased nor annoyed.
The warship that Zheng Zhilong is willing to sell must not be small, but it is not big, so it can be regarded as a medium-sized ship. But there is almost no ocean-going capability, and the Dutch shipbuilders have to be recruited to build them slowly using Western-style shipbuilding methods.
Both Chinese and Western sea ships have their own advantages.
If you want to improve your combat effectiveness, a western-style warship is better. This has nothing to do with shipbuilding technology, but is determined by the hull structure.
Zheng Sen hesitated to speak.
Zhao Han smiled and said, "Your father wants to be an official?"
"He always wanted to be an official." Zheng Sen said helplessly.
Zhao Han said with a smile: "I want to be an official, but I don't want to part with the Nanyang trade, and let the merchant ships of various countries pay him protection fees. Can he take advantage of all the benefits in the world?"
Zheng Sen sighed: "My father won't listen to advice."
Until now, Zhao Han has not appointed Zheng Zhilong as an official, and his identity is the Daming Coastal Defense Guerrilla.
Seeing that Zhao Han's territory is getting bigger and bigger, Zheng Zhilong is a little anxious.
Zhao Han was not in a hurry, and let Zheng Zhilong and the Dutch wait until he took up more territory in the inland area.
The autumn harvest is over and the grain is in storage, it is time to send troops
The South Court Army did not move for the time being, and half of them stayed in Guangdong to guard against the enemies of Guangxi. Half of them entered Fujian to suppress bandits. There are a large number of bandits in the mountainous areas of Fujian.The bell was rung and the whistle was blown, and the peasants, soldiers and peasant associations quickly assembled.
Luo Rucai killed dozens of villagers, and when he saw the rest of the villagers assembled into an army, he immediately ordered to turn around and leave.
Arriving at the next village, there was another attack and killing. After the villagers gathered, Luo Ru escaped again with the cavalry.
Two thousand cavalry marched through villages and towns, raiding and killing hundreds of peasants in three days.
He had no other intention, but to disturb the rear of the Datong Army, so that Huang Shun and Fei Yinggong, who had just occupied Luzhou, could not concentrate on attacking Lu'an.
Zhao Han's shortcoming of not having cavalry was finally exposed, and he couldn't even chase after him. He had to mobilize several times the number of troops to chase and intercept him.
Huang Shun and Fei Yinggong had nothing to do about it. In ten days, more than 2,000 farmers were killed or injured.
Luo Rucai's cavalry rushed into the village and chopped it down, and they didn't deliberately massacre the village. Anyway, they ran away after killing people, and they couldn't even touch the shadow of ghosts.
In desperation, Huang Shun simply ignored it and led his troops to attack Luo Rucai's territory.
"Son of a bitch!"
"It's not for grabbing food, it's just for killing people. If I catch Luo Rucai, I will cut him into pieces!"
When Zhao Han got the news in Nanjing, he was furious and sent the cavalry from Jeju Island ahead of time. The Mawari horses continued to breed, and the Jeju pony was temporarily used to fight, only to kill Luo Ru so that he would not be allowed to kill everywhere.
From Shanghai to Jeju Island, it only takes a few days to go back and forth.
Hu Dinggui, Wang Yaochen, and Chen Tangong came with cavalry, while Lu Xiangguan stayed in Jeju Island to manage the civil affairs.
In a fit of rage, Zhao Han called Lu Xiangsheng, and asked Lu Xiangsheng to lead the cavalry to chase the enemy. The genius remembers the address of this site in a second.
