    Not long after, You Shiwei and others led the troops to the camp, which was not far from the Xuanfu Zhencheng cathedral. Tomorrow, they would also participate in the military parade, and then the army would set off to fight against the thieves.  Seeing the spread of countless military camps around them, everyone was very excited. At this time, they also received news that the prince announced that he would supervise the country and worshiped Yongning Hou Wang Dou as Duke of Jingguo to supervise all Chinese and foreign military forces.  He has become the Grand Governor, and from now on his own people will also call him Marshal.  After receiving the news, You Shiwei and others were shocked. On the way into Xuanfu Town, they also met Shaanxi General Gao Jie, Guyuan General Zheng Jiadong, and Lintao General Niu Chenghu who were rushing to the General's Mansion to pay homage to General Zhenglu.  There are also Chen Yongfu, the commander-in-chief of Henan, Ma Xu, the commander-in-chief of Gansu, Fumin, the commander-in-chief of Ningxia, Wang Ding, the commander-in-chief of Yulin, Gao Ruli, the commander-in-chief of Guxian County, and others.  ?Looking at the complicated expressions on their faces, it was obvious that they had also received the news, and they didn¡¯t know what they felt in their hearts.  In fact, the military attache system in the Ming Dynasty has developed to this day. On the surface, the military attache is noble and the military is humble. In fact, the wealth and power of the military attache are incomparable to those of civilian officials.  After all, they have a hereditary system. In the early Ming Dynasty, they were guard officers, and in the late Ming Dynasty, even if the camp soldiers were appointed in the middle Ming Dynasty, the camp generals were mostly selected from the guards officers.  If you are the commander of a guard, you usually serve as a guard and conduct yourself.  If you are in command of the general affairs, and there are thousands of households in the garrison, you will serve as the commander-in-chief of the thousand, and your general authority will remain unchanged.  Civil servants have to work hard to get up through the civil service examinations, and under the bureaucratic system, they will leave after a few years. They can just get a good job.  They have the same official position as their parents and ancestors. They have been passed down from generation to generation. Over the past few hundred years, their influence has been deeply rooted in the local area.  Therefore, they have become de facto local tycoons, controlling a large part of the local financial resources and power. Under the hereditary system, they often make money as their own mission.  The embezzlement of farmland and smuggling at the border initially started with the military officers of these local guards. Later, the eunuchs and civil servants became jealous and got involved.  Even if their status fell below the civil servants after the middle of the Ming Dynasty, in fact, as long as they were more respectful in front of those civil servants, they could still maintain their power and influence.  If you pretend to be a grandson, you can get something real, so why not?  Their situation is somewhat similar to that of government officials. They are apparently untouchables, but how dare the people in the county look down on these untouchables? ????????????????? Since the Chongzhen era, military men have had an increasing tendency to overtake the literati. During the seventeen years of Emperor Chongzhen¡¯s reign, how many civilian officials killed, and how many generals did he kill?  The most prosperous time for them was in Nanming, when military men directly supported the emperor, and civil servants actually became errands.  This system has been passed down for hundreds of years, and they have become very accustomed to it. Suddenly, the governor appears, and a tough boss appears directly above them. It is hard to say whether this is a good thing or a bad thing for them. After all, not everyone has the determination to change.  and strength.  "But some officers and generals don't care. They have long been fed up with the arrogance of those civil servants. Now that there is a military commander who knows the soldiers, this is good news for them.  But no matter what everyone thought, on the surface they all came to the General's Mansion respectfully to pay homage to the newly appointed Governor, Marshal, and General Wang Dou.  ¡­ At this time, Wang Dou was having fun with his children in the study room, talking around a wooden globe-like object on the table.  Earlier, his wife Xie Xiuniang and others rushed to Guihua City. After Wang Dou came to Xuanfu Town, they followed soon after. Apparently they were afraid that people like Zhong Susu would take advantage of it.  Because he was about to go on an expedition, Wang Dou also took the time to reunite with his wife and children. At this time, his many children were jumping around in front of him.  The seventeenth year of Chongzhen¡¯s time travels back to the current seventeenth year of Chongzhen. Wang Dou is already thirty-two years old. He currently has ten children, including six sons and four daughters.  Among them, Xie Xiuniang gave birth to the eldest son Wang Zheng, and then gave birth to a daughter Wang Wan.  Liu Qing and Liu Ji gave birth to four children. Liu Qing gave birth to a son, Wang Ying, and a daughter, Wang Yao.  Liu Ji gave birth to two sons, Wang Xiong and Wang Hao.  Butterfly and Dragonfly gave birth to two children, Butterfly gave birth to a son Wang Jie, and Dragonfly gave birth to a daughter Wang Yan.  Ji Junjiao gave birth to a daughter, Wang Sha, and Xu Yuee gave birth to a son, Wang Yi.  Now Li Yunluo has a child, and so does Chu Wanyun. It is conservatively estimated that he will have twelve children.  Ten years later, his eldest son Wang Zheng is also ten years old, Wang Ying, Wang Xiong, Wang Hao, and Wang Yao are eight or nine years old, Wang Jie, Wang Yan, Wang Sha, and Wang Wan are five or six years old, and Wang Yi is also fast.  Three years old.  Because Wang Dou often went to war, his children were actually taught more by their mothers, and they were more strict with their children. On the contrary, Wang Dou was strict on the outside but doting on the inside.  Therefore, Wang Dou's children are afraid of having too many mothers, so they are more intimate with Wang Dou in private.  At this time, the boy was okay. The girls were holding Wang Dou's legs and acting coquettishly, or climbing up and down on him naughtily. The image of a good girl was no longer there, and they all showed theirOutgoing personality.  "It's strange. Why is the earth round? Doesn't it mean that the sky is round and the earth is round?" Wang Ying pondered, and he expressed his doubts: "If the earth is round, why don't we fall into the starry sky?" Liu Qingsheng's  This son is nine years old and ranks second. He loves to think very much. At a young age, his eyes are shining with wisdom.  At this time, they gathered around Wang Dou and were all discussing the globe. Wang Ying discovered the problem first.  Wang Dou looked at his son and smiled: "This is a force, which my father calls gravity. It can attract people and things to the ground so that they will not float away." He said: "Physics classes will be offered in the future.  , to explain this kind of problem in detail. "Wang Ying thought deeply: "Daddy, what do you mean, there is a big magnet below where we are standing?" Wang Dou smiled and said, "It's somewhat similar." Wang Zheng touched his chin.  He looked around the globe and turned his eyes around. Suddenly he pointed at the territory of the Ming Dynasty and said, "Why is the Ming Dynasty so small?" He turned the globe, pointed to a territory on the other side and said, "This is the other side of the ocean.  It¡¯s called the Great Eastern Kingdom? Gee, it¡¯s several times bigger than the Ming Dynasty.¡± The place depicted on the globe includes the original territory of Canada, the original territory of the United States, and continues southward, finally including Panama, with a total area of ????2.  With an area of ??more than 10 million square kilometers, Wang Dou named it Dadong Kingdom.  In comparison, Daming at this time does look small.  Wang Dou smiled and said: "The world is so big that it is unimaginable. Although the Ming Dynasty is big, it is only a small corner of the world." Wang Zheng pointed to another territory and said: "This place is called the Southern Kingdom? Tsk tsk, this island is big enough, it can be called  It¡¯s a continent My father is so powerful, he can know everything about the world without leaving his study.¡± Wang Zheng said admiringly, but the place he pointed to was the former Australia, and Wang Dou named it Da Nanguo.  Wang Zheng looked at the "Da Nan Kingdom" for a while, and then moved his hand involuntarily to the "Dadong Kingdom" and said, "Father, how is the land here? Is the country strong?" Wang Dou said: "In terms of the fertility of the land, it is indeed better than the Ming Dynasty.  It's so much better. There is no country here, only some savage tribes." Wang Zheng's eyes flashed and he said: "What a great place. There are oceans on both sides and ice fields in the north. There are only savages here. It is a unique land. If you don't take it, it will be a waste.  If the father likes this place, the boy will help his father occupy it. "Wang Dou's third son, Wang Xiong, said: "My boy, I will go and occupy the Danan Kingdom." "I will go and occupy the Daxi Kingdom," he said.  I want to ride a horse!" Wang Jie, the fifth son, looked over and played with his sister Wang Yan and others.  Wang Dou laughed loudly and said: "My sons are all ambitious, which is good." Wang Ying said thoughtfully: "It's just that the land is so vast, can the Ming Dynasty sustain it? When the Tang Dynasty was strong, the land was so vast, but when it was weak  "Wang Dou shook his head and said: "It's difficult, unless there is a high-speed rail, the speed is still 500 kilometers per hour." The children didn't understand what Wang Dou meant, but they also knew that it would be difficult in the future. Wang Zheng disagreed and said: "If dad said it, it belongs to the land of the Han people.  It's good. If there is another famine in the Ming Dynasty, the people will have a place to immigrate and colonize. They will have more ways to survive and there will be no more wanderings." He looked at Dadong Kingdom again and said, "Where there is Dingkou, there is land, Dad.  , in order to occupy Dadong Kingdom, according to your estimate, how many people will be needed? " Wang Dou looked at his eldest son with joy and said: "To take root, immigration and births within twenty years, it is best to have a population of 10 million. " Wang Dou looked at his eldest son happily and said.  Zheng murmured: "Ten million." Wang Ying looked at his father with admiration and said: "When dad opens his mouth and screams, there is a magnificent river and mountains. When he flicks his sleeves, everything is in the mountains and rivers. The child is curious, you have worked so hard for me, Daming."  "For our Han family, what is your wish?" Wang Dou said thoughtfully, "Wish?" He smiled and said, "Wake up the power of the world and lie drunk in the lap of a beautiful woman. This is the dream of many men You still have it?"  I will know in the future. Then I will spend twenty years cultivating my indestructible tradition, and then I will retire I will build a big luxury cruise ship, in Hawaii this year, in Miami next year, and in the year after that.  Cape of Good Hope white sandy beach, dense palm trees, coconuts on the seaside, bright sunshine, leisurely wine tasting" He sighed with a smile: "Actually, I am very tired, I want to retire early, but I have my responsibilities.  The people of the Ming Dynasty, I want to put them in place, and the people who follow me, I also want to put them in place, you can¡¯t let them go now!¡± All the children gathered around, holding their father¡¯s hand comfortingly, and pulling his clothes.  Wang Yao, her daughter, put her arms around Wang Dou's neck and said obediently: "My daughter has heard everything my father said just now. It's true as the second brother said, thousands of miles of mountains and rivers can be seen in the wave of one's sleeves."Everyone is saying that daddy is a saint descended from heaven.  " Wang Dou smiled and shook his head: "Actually, I am not a saint, I also have selfish motives.  " He looked at the globe, looked at the 20 million square kilometers of land in the Dadong Kingdom for a long time, and said, "Okay, my daughters are leaving.  The four boys went down to rest. Tomorrow they will go on an expedition with their father, so that you can see what the military is.  " Immediately, Wang Dou's children dispersed. The second son, Wang Ying, walked to the door and suddenly turned around and said, "Father, where are Hawaii and the Cape of Good Hope you mentioned just now?  Wang Dou smiled and said: "These places are only in my heart. I will change their names in the future. They will never exist again in this world."  " Wang Ying left with a confused look on his face. At this moment, Clock Tune Yang came in and whispered to Wang Dou: "General, they are already waiting in the lobby.  " Wang Dou nodded and followed the clock to adjust the sun and walked out. (~^~)
