Chapter 2636: In April of the fourth year of Shenwu, a new military system was introduced

Ren Hongchang and Liu Mu's son created a storm in Luoyang, and even the entire West Palace was destroyed in the battle to kill Zhulong. On the other hand, the five daughters Su Daji, Zhen Mi, Arthur, Mu Guiying, and Li Xiuning had their sons. Much calmer.

Among the five Su Daji women, the strong one is Arthur, who is a super general, while the weak Zhen Mi is even more powerless, but they are all pregnant with the child of Ying Hao, the great master.

 This is enough to show that the probability of a female grand master becoming pregnant with a child who is not a male grand master is indeed low, but it is not difficult for a male grand master to get a woman who is not a grand master pregnant.

 Otherwise, it would be impossible to explain where Xiang Yu's children came from. After all, Xiang Yu only gave birth to Xiang Shaolong and Xiang Ruoxi after he became a great master.

It is impossible that Yu Shilan, who loves Xiang Yu to the death, turned Xiang Yu over.

Among the three sons and five daughters born in the third year of Shenwu, the one that surprised Ying Hao the most was Ying Mo, born to Arthur.

Since there are many women around Ying Hao, he is busy with things, and the concubines in the harem keep a close eye on him, so he basically chooses concubines nearby, and he may not be able to go to the outer chamber once a month.

As for Arthur, Ying Hao remembered clearly that he only irrigated her three times in total, but in the end, he got her pregnant three times.

 Among Ying Hao's concubines, even Mu Guiying, who was prone to pregnancy and had given birth to two sons and three daughters, only had these four harvests due to Ying Hao's continuous irrigation over many years and hundreds of rounds.

Mu Guiying was indeed capable of giving birth. She had one child each in the second and third years of Shenwu, and only half a year passed before she became pregnant again. It must be said that women who practice martial arts have good physiques.

As for Ren Hongchang, who had the most difficulty getting pregnant, Ying Hao used the perseverance of an old cow to plow the land. After five or six years of continuous irrigation, Ying Sheng and Ying Shuixian were born.

  Arthur was able to win the bid so easily, which shows that she, like Mu Guiying, has a physique that is easy to get pregnant. She must be irrigated more in the future. Ying Hao really wants a daughter of mixed Eastern and Western blood.

After Ying Mo was born, Arthur missed his hometown, so he gave his son a Western name, Mordred.

Ying Hao originally disagreed. After all, it was a poisonous name. He didn’t want rebellion or anything like that to happen to his family.

 But Arthur seemed to like the name very much and said it had a special meaning to her.

Ying Hao then thought about it and realized that history had changed beyond recognition, so why bother with those illusory things, so he named little Mordred Ying Mo.

So far, Ying Hao has had eleven sons and sixteen daughters, and is the father of twenty-seven children. However, he is only twenty-nine years old, not even thirty, and he is in the prime of spring and autumn. occasion.

If he continues to be born according to this trend, Ying Hao may be able to break King Zhou Wen's record of 100 sons.

As for the many concubines in Ying Hao's harem, apart from Ren Hongchang and Liu Mu, the one with the most special status in him is Ye Qingmei.

It's not that Ye Qingmei is more beautiful than other concubines, but that Ye Qingmei is a time traveler like him, and she is the only person in this era who truly understands him.

Only when he was with Ye Qingmei, would Ying Hao put down his burdens and forget his identity as emperor.

Ye Qingmei is also the most talented among the concubines of Ying Hao. In addition to personally going to the West and bringing back the map of the world, she also helped Cai Yan and Li Qingzhao compile the "Da Qin Dictionary" to teach literacy and enlightenment for school-age children in Da Qin. .

In addition, Ye Qingmei also invented sanitary napkins, high-heeled shoes, lipstick and other female products. Through Mi Zhen, Zhen Mi, and Xiao Meiniang, she hooked up with the three major business families of Mi Zhen, Zhen Mi, and Xiao Meiniang, and joined forces with several major families to make products together. Business, jointly selling these gadgets she invented, and she has the potential to inherit the name of the Empress Dowager and the Commercial Queen.

The market for women in Da Qin is actually not big, and things like sanitary napkins can be considered a luxury item for ordinary people, so it is naturally impossible for women in ordinary families to afford them.

Therefore, Ye Qingmei initially targeted the middle and upper classes. Although the market size is small, the advantage is that it can monopolize the entire market and has no competitors, so the profitability is still considerable.

Ying Hao saw that Ye Qingmei's business talent was so high, so he handed over the management of Huangshang to her, and she was always able to give Ying Hao some surprises every now and then.

Ye Qingmei is very famous among the people, and the common people also call her Ye Fei, but in fact, her rank in the harem is still a nobleman, not a concubine.

Ying Hao wanted to canonize Ye Qingmei as a concubine several times. After all, Ye Qingmei had made great contributions to the Qin Dynasty, whether it was traveling to the West or compiling dictionaries.

Ying Hao even thought of a title for Ye Qingmei, so he called her Ye Fei. After all, this title was already deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, but Ye Qingmei rejected it.

 The reason for Ye Qingmei's refusal is also very simple. The royal family has regulations that only those who give birth to a prince or a daughter can be promoted to a concubine.

As for the concubines such as Sun Shangxiang, Zhao Ling'er, Cao Jie, and Cao Xian, who were also not pregnant yet but were named concubines, they were all princesses from other countries who had come to marry each other. The designation of concubines was a sign of respect for the country to which they were married.

Ye Qingmei is not pregnant with Ying Hao's child yet, so she doesn't want Ying Hao to break the rules for her. Besides, it's not like she can't give birth, and she won't be in a hurry when she gets promoted after having a child.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that Ye Qingmei is a nobleman in name, but in fact her treatment is better than that of most concubines. After all, His Majesty's preference for her is too obvious.

In the past, some officials impeached Ye Qingmei. They felt that as a concubine, Ye Qingmei always played tricks and tricks, which was really detrimental to the royal family's face.

But with the advent of Da Qin's dictionary, Ye Qingmei's influence became more and more important, and her reputation among the people became better and better. Gradually, no officials dared to speak against her.

　　——————

 South China, Kunming.

Chi You, who married a peerless beauty as he wished, should be very proud of himself, but he couldn't be happy because he already knew that his sister had escaped from the marriage. Chi You never expected that his sister Zhu Rong would exchange identities with Zixuan and leave the Southern Kingdom in this way of marriage.

Chi You, who had just learned the news, was extremely angry, but his first reaction was not to reflect on himself, but to want to replace him, and wanted to replace Zhu Rong with Zixuan.

Chi You couldn't really push out a war god. Besides, Zhu Rong was too important to the Southern Kingdom, so he had to exchange her back no matter what.

Chi You quickly sent a letter to the envoys who were getting married, but the reply he received was that the whole country of Qin knew that the marriage partner was Zhu Rong, and the Emperor of Qin seemed to be very satisfied with Zhu Rong.

If a substitution is proposed at this time, then Nanguo is really playing tricks on Da Qin, and this marriage will have no meaning.

Chi You finally gave up the plan to exchange for Zhu Rong. After all, the marriage was a done deal. Although Zhu Rong was important to the Southern Kingdom, it was not as important as the materials that Qin gave to the Southern Kingdom, so he had to accept this dumb loss.

Zhu Rong, who was far away in Luoyang, saw that Chi You did not send a regular diplomatic meeting to Da Qin, and when he offered Zixuan to exchange her, he was secretly relieved. He secretly thought that the fake marriage was the right move, and that was the only way to force his brother to compromise. , otherwise, even if she escapes from the Southern Kingdom, she will definitely not be able to live in peace, and her brother will definitely send someone to capture her and take her back.

Zhu Rong was also worried that his brother would be angry with Zixuan because of this incident, so he wrote a letter back and took all the responsibility on himself.

 Later, Zhu Rong learned that his brother did not punish Zixuan, but only married her to Gonggong to make up for his debt to Gonggong.

Zhu Rong was naturally very angry about this. She felt that she had harmed Zixuan.

 But when she learned that Zixuan not only did not refuse, but was willing to marry Gonggong, Zhu Rong was a little confused. She thought that her good sister was helping her for her own sake, but it turned out that it was for her own sake.

Zhu Rong did not blame Zixuan. On the contrary, he sent many gifts back to congratulate the two on their wedding, including a pair of dragon scale black armor, which was used as a wedding gift to bless the two.

Dragon Scale Black Armor is the pinnacle of Great Qin's armor-making technology and is currently the highest level of armor in Great Qin.

Although there are military purchases between Da Qin and the Southern Kingdom, the armors sold to the Southern Kingdom are only ordinary goods, and the Southern Kingdom cannot afford better armor. , not even one pair of dragon scale treasure armor has been sold, let alone a more advanced dragon scale black iron armor.

 Da Qin has only given Chi You a pair of dragon scale treasured armor as a friendly witness to the mutual alliance between the two countries. Chi You also treasured this armor, but unfortunately it was broken by Xing Tian in the battle in southern Shu.

Chi You was distressed for this for a long time and wanted to find a craftsman to repair it, but the damage to the armor was too serious, and even with the metallurgical technology of the Southern Kingdom, it was impossible to repair such a high-end armor as the Dragon Scale Armor.

Now that Zhu Rong has directly sent back a pair of higher dragon-scale black armor, I believe that armor-loving people like Gonggong will no longer remember her for escaping from the marriage.

After Zhu Rong and Ying Hao got married, they either went horse racing with Sun Shangxiang, Lu Lingqi and other girls in Luoyang, or went to train with their wives to train the army. By the way, they had some discussions with the Phoenix Marquis Arthur. Ying Hao also always came to visit her every now and then. Life was very comfortable. Extremely.

Ying Hao did not ask for Zhu Rong like other concubines. After all, he also wanted Zhu Rong to become the first female super general in the East. Zhu Rong would not be able to become a super general if he only stayed in the palace.

Even the imperial concubine Mu Guiying quit the army after marrying into the Ying family and stayed in the palace to take care of her husband and raise her children, but Zhu Rong was able to live in the military camp, and the emperor even planned to let her and Phoenix Marquis jointly take charge of the Women's Army.

Both the officials and the people of Qin Dynasty realized that this girl Nan Fei had an unusual status in His Majesty's heart. Otherwise, how could she go in and out of the military camp.

It is precisely because of this that many people think that Zhu Rong may become the second Ye Qingmei.

  ……………

Time flies, five months passed quickly, and it was April in the fourth year of Shenwu (AD 199).

During these five months, Da Qin did not continue to cause trouble and stimulate the nerves of various countries, but actively trained its troops honestly. The same was true for the seven kingdoms of Shu, Chu, Wei, Song, Ming, Wu, and Sui. Maximize army expansion and train new recruits.

The current situation in the world is like a powder keg, which will explode completely with just a spark, but no one dares to be the first person. As long as Da Qin does not take action, they will continue to accumulate strength.

All countries are trying their best to maintain this fragile balance, but the Qin Dynasty has sharpened its claws and will not give up until it is full of food.

 Luoyang, the Imperial Palace.

"Your Majesty, after ten months of training, 750,000 new troops have been trained." Zhang Liang, Minister of War, added.

 The original plan of the Qin Dynasty was to expand its army by 700,000, but it lost 50,000 troops in the Battle of Hanzhong, and after replenishment, it would only be 750,000.

At present, Da Qin has a total of 1.55 million combatable troops, including 1.1 million light and heavy infantry, 300,000 light and heavy cavalry, and 150,000 naval troops.

Out of the 1.55 million army, 800,000 are veterans. As for the other 750,000 recruits, their combat effectiveness has also been improved after ten months of training.

Although the combat effectiveness of new recruits is not as good as that of veterans, they are still useful. As long as they go to the battlefield and see blood, they can transform into elites in all battles.

"Well, our Qin Dynasty has such a strong army, so why worry about the world being unstable and the princes not being destroyed." Ying Hao said with a smile.

“Your Majesty, the new military system has been completed, and the next step is to promote it throughout the army.” Prime Minister Wang Meng said.

As early as ten months ago, when Da Qin had just expanded its army, Ying Hao had already started to reform the military system. After ten months of preparation and improvement, Da Qin's new military system was finally officially promoted in the entire army.
