Just after the Lantern Festival, Duke Shi Yuan sent information: "Zhong Xiang has occupied the entire Jinghu Road and wants to use silver to buy food from us."

"The food he stolen from the government and wealthy families was exhausted so quickly." Zhu Ming was a little surprised.

Shi Yuangong said: "Zhong Xiang has been fighting, fighting with the officers and soldiers first, fighting with us, and then fighting with the officers and soldiers. Both Jinghu and the Jinghu River are vast and sparsely populated, and he has many troops. Moreover, the officers and soldiers on Jinghu South Road have been fighting for the past three years. How can they rely solely on the food on Jinghu North Road?"

"If you want food, you can sell it." Zhu Mingcai didn't know how to sell food, and he wanted to find someone to buy food.

The area around Dongting Lake was a large granary in the Ming Dynasty, but unfortunately it has not been fully developed yet.

Shi Yuangong also said: "There is another news that Li Bangyan sent from Tokyo. Quan Bangyan, the Jiangxi Transport Author, was also the Jiangxi General Pacifier, and the Song State ordered him to send troops from the east. Li Gong, the prefect of Hezhou who was a martial Jinshi, was promoted to Guangxi's criminal envoy for his contribution to suppressing bandits and also the Guangxi General Pacifier, and the Song State ordered him to send troops from the south. The Jiangxi and Guangxi officers and soldiers would attack Zhong Xiang in two groups at the latest."

Zhu Ming said with a funny look: "The king and minister of Song finally couldn't help it. An emperor from Jinghu Road was too annoying. Send the news to Zhong Xiang and sell him a favor."

Perhaps because of the good weather last year, Jiangxi and Guangxi both collected a lot of food and each quelled the rebellion in their jurisdiction. This year, they finally had to attack Jinghu Road in two directions.

An emperor of the Great Chu was nesting there, which attracted the attention of the emperor and ministers of the Great Song Dynasty than the Zhu family who occupied Sichuan.

At least, the Zhu family father and son did not establish a country and proclaim themselves emperor!

The letter was delivered to Changsha. After Zhong Xiang read it, his face turned calm: "I was going to fight out, but it was just right for these two officers and soldiers to come."

"Father, what did Zhu Thief say in the letter?" asked Zhong Ziang, the prince of the Great Chu.

Zhong Xiang handed the letter: "Look at it for yourself."

Zhong Zi'ang quickly finished reading the letter and said doubtfully: "Zhu Zhe is so kind-hearted, so he specially sent someone to inform him? Could it be fake news?"

Zhong Xiang shook his head and said, "The Zhu family has been high-ranking officials. He must have friends in Kaifeng, and he is also friends who are officials. The news should be true. They are all rebellious. We can stop the officers and soldiers for him, and he is happy to let us fight with the officers and soldiers."

"The Zhu thief and his son occupy five territories, and we only have two territories. The pseudo-Song court should first attack Zhu thief." Zhong Zi'ang said.

Zhong Xiang guessed: "Maybe it was because we were too early to proclaim ourselves emperor. Or maybe it was because Jinghu Road was better to fight, and in Sichuan's natural dangerous places, officers and soldiers really couldn't kill them, so it was naturally easy to start and then difficult to do so."

Zhong Zi'ang said worriedly: "I heard from people that Quan Bangyan has only been governing Jiangxi for a year, and he has made all the people praise the officials and the people. Li Gong in Guangxi has made outstanding achievements in military achievements and was promoted to a court official. He is an ever-winning general who has never been defeated. These two people came at the same time, and it is probably not easy to deal with."

"What's so afraid? If they dare to come, they will beat him hard!" Zhong Xiang didn't take the officers and soldiers seriously.

The Jin Kingdom was about to send troops south, and the Song army was about to encircle and suppress Zhong Xiang. The battles were densely covered with clouds on both sides of the north and south were about to break out.

On the contrary, there is a peaceful scene here between the Zhu family and his son, and they are training troops to develop their internal affairs with peace of mind.

The Shanheyan in Hanzhong has begun the third phase of the project.

The surrounding areas of Yangzhou City are all irrigation areas of Shanheyan and Hanjiang River. At that time, Guxu and Zhu Ming discussed water conservancy, and part of it was not built until the Ming Dynasty, but now it is only part of the third phase of Shanheyan project.

Or, it can no longer be called Shanheyan, but it should be called the "Hanzhong Basin Water Conservancy System".

The Baoshui, Han River, and Shanhewei are integrated into one, and the various tributaries of the Han River can irrigate four million mu of land in the Hanzhong Basin!

Moreover, it also has the functions of flood control and drought resistance, allowing the people here to have stable income from drought and flood.

A Hanzhong Basin with a complete water conservancy system, coupled with the Chengdu Plain of the Kingdom of Tianfu, is enough to support Zhu Ming's army of 200,000.

After a year of hard work in the Nanxiang Basin, the refugees were barely able to support themselves this year. Military training was on track, and Zhu Ming suddenly became idle and even took time out every now and then to take his wives, concubines and children to the countryside for a trip.

Perhaps it was because he had too much free time, Zhang Jinping, Zheng Yuanyi, Zhao Fujin, and Zhe Yanxiu became pregnant one after another...

Zhong Miaoyun and Li Shishi were a little panicked. They were very obsessed at night and wanted to have a son and half daughter.

Zhu Ming couldn't resist these tigresses, so he ran to the south to inspect the army in February. He finally recovered his spirit after cultivating his body and cultivated his character for more than a month.

Back in Xiangyang, he entered Pei Chang'e's room and turned a blind eye to the sad eyes of Zhong Miaoyun and Li Shishi.

Pei Chang'e and her maid were both overjoyed and were extremely attentive, afraid that they would not leave a good impression on Zhu Ming.

"No need to do this, just do things normally." Zhu Ming felt that he was a distinguished guest, not the owner of the place.

"Yes!" Pei Chang'e hurriedly bowed and took the order.

The maid brought the wine and food, Pei Chang'e poured the wine himself, and then sat down obediently.

This girl is so beautiful, with her facial features that are too perfect, just like a person in the picture, as if she is not like a thing on earth.

But she was frowning all day long, pitiful. She was sent for a year and had not been touched by Zhu Ming. She was worried and scared. She couldn't speak to other wives and concubines, so she could only please Li Shishi, making her like Li Shishi's little follower.

Zhu Ming could probably guess her thoughts: "Chang'e has been here for a long time and has been neglected. I'll give you a gift today."

Pei Chang'e smiled: "I don't need gifts from my husband. If you can come to sit there often, you will be very happy."

"Go and get paper and pen," Zhu Ming ordered his maid and said to Pei Chang'e, "Last year you were learning with Shishi, and I was afraid you could even learn to compose music. Today I will give you a new lyrics, but there is no lyrics. It is suitable for playing and singing in Yuetu, so I will compose a song for it."

Pei Chang'e became more and more happy, and said in panic: "I only know how to sing lyrics, and it's still far from compiling music by myself. This is something that everyone cannot say lightly."

"But take it to Shishi's place and you can discuss it." Zhu Ming said.

The maid quickly brought paper and pen, and Zhu Ming wrote: "The jade is slender and bent and the spring onion is weak, and the distant mountains are weak, and the eyebrows are full of idle worries. Suddenly, I heard the sound of selling flowers, and the embroidered needles are not waiting to be worn."

This song "Tianjingsha" is a Yuan song, but it is played in Yue tune, which has appeared in the Northern Song Dynasty.

Pei Chang'e blushed when she read it because she wrote about a woman Sichun. She said that she missed a man directly. Zhu Ming was writing lyrics to tease her.

"I... I will sing a song for my husband." Pei Chang'e was weak and could not speak even if she had a fever on her face. She quickly changed the subject and went to get the pipa.

Zhu Ming was relaxed and comfortable during this period. At this moment, he was drinking a small wine and listening to his concubine singing songs, enjoying the wonderful time.

He guessed in his heart that he would probably not be idle for long.

The news that the Jin and Song severed diplomatic relations have spread to Xiangyang.

But as soon as Pei Chang'e started singing, Zhu Ming almost squirted out a sip of wine, choking until his throat choked and coughed a few times.

But she heard her gently sing and sing: "The teacher and the teacher are so beautiful, the fragrance is so fragrant that I love more. Anan is more than a long time, and the four are one. Fortunately, the new words written in Canghuang are too polished. I have been ripped a few times and then moved them harder, and the word treacherous is centered on me."

It’s a erotic lyrics and erotic song. Liu Yong’s talented man is really fun!

The traditional Chinese character "子" is made of three "women", and another "I" is written in the middle, which vividly describes the scene at that time.

Liu Dacaizi lived in the middle, Shishi, Xiangxiang, and Ananhuan were around, and the four of them were no longer divided into each other.

Zhu Ming couldn't help asking: "Who taught you this poem?"

"Senior Sister Shi," Pei Chang'e lowered her head shyly, "Senior Sister Shi said, if your husband comes, you can sing this song and let her call you. It's just... it's ridiculous."

"She wants to compete for favor and thinks crazy..." Zhu Ming couldn't help laughing and crying.

Pei Chang'e asked, "Then won't you invite Senior Sister Shi?"

Zhu Ming thought about it carefully, swallowed his saliva and said, "It's okay to call her."

Pei Chang'e called her maid and whispered a few words. The maid immediately left with a blushing face.

Soon, Li Shishi came down and she blushed. She had a high-end style before, but she had never played such a trick.

Zhu Ming was very honest and was very itchy at this moment and suggested: "Why go to the couch to drink?"

"But it depends on your husband." Li Shishi lowered her eyebrows and looked at her.

Pei Chang'e asked her maid to come in with a wine utensil and sat down on the couch, feeling a little at a loss.

"I'm serving my husband to drink." Li Shishi pulled her sleeves to pour wine, sat beside Zhu Ming, leaning against him, and quietly winked at Pei Chang'e.

Pei Chang'e moved closer, and there was still a woman missing, who was "the word "traitorous" centered on me."

The details are inconvenient. Zhu Ming got up the next day and felt more tired than killing the enemy on the battlefield. He was sore and his back was sore and he was drifting when walking.

Ahem, I'm not sleeping very much last night.

I must be too sleepy.

Why have emperors of all dynasties lived short? Zhu Ming felt that he had found the answer.

Marshal Zhu was a little degenerate. After get off work that night, he went to Pei Chang'e's room and quietly sent someone to call Li Shishi.

After three consecutive days of this, Zhu Ming began to reflect, so he ran to the pregnant Zhang Jinping room for a night.

Happy and leisurely time lasts until mid-May.

Duke Shi Yuan hurried to Zhu Ming with the declassified letter: "The Grand Marshal is like a god, and the Jin soldiers have indeed gone south!"

After reading the letter, Zhu Ming immediately ordered: "Recruit the meeting of all the officials in the Marshal's Office!"

Zhang Tong, Wang Bing, Wang Yuan, Bai Chongwu and others came to the conference room in a quarter of an hour.

Zhu Ming said: "The Jin soldiers went south. When the letter was sent, the Jin people had already arrived in Xiongzhou."

Bai Chongwu immediately said: "The military rations in Hanzhong and Nanyang have been hoarded for a long time, and people can be recruited to send troops at any time."

"Are all the main forces dispatched?" Zhang Tong said worriedly, "Will the officers and soldiers in Huaixi take the opportunity to come?"

Wang Bing said: "I lent a hundred courage to the Huaixi officers and soldiers, and they dare not invade Hanyang. What's more, if the Jin soldiers go south, all the officers and soldiers from all walks of life will definitely be taken to the north."

Wang Yuan said: "Southern Sichuan has to retain some troops to prevent the barbarians from causing trouble."

There was no problem with the grand strategy, and everyone began to discuss the details of the dispatch of troops.

After the meeting, Zhu Ming ordered: "Give Li Yanxian a few cavalry and ask him to return to Longxi to raise troops and raise an uprising!"
