Chapter 2636: In April of the fourth year of Shenwu, the new military system was introduced
The city of Luoyang was stormy and storms caused by Ren Hongchang and Liu Mudanzi, and even the entire West Palace was destroyed in the battle to siege Zhulong. In contrast, the five daughters of Su Daji, Zhen Mi, Arthur, Mu Guiying and Li Xiuning had to be much more peaceful.
Among the five women Su Daji, the strongest one is Arthur, and the weakest one is even more powerful, but they are pregnant with the child of Ying Hao, who is the great master.
This is enough to show that the probability of a female master conceived a child who is not a male master is indeed low, but it is not difficult for a male master to get pregnant with a woman who is not a male master.
Otherwise, it would be impossible to explain where Xiang Yu''s children came from. After all, Xiang Yu was also the grandmaster, and Xiang Ruoxi was born.
It is impossible that Yu Shilan, who loved Xiang Yu, had made Xiang Yu green.
Among the three sons and five daughters born in the third year of Shenwu, what surprised Ying Hao the most was Ying Mo who was born to Arthur.
Because Ying Hao has many women around him, things are busy, and the concubines in the harem are closely watching, he basically chooses concubines nearby, and he may not be able to go to the outside room once a month.
As for Arthur''s side, Ying Hao remembered it clearly that he only irrigated her three times in total, but in the end he was three times, which made Arthur pregnant.
Among Ying Hao''s concubines, even Mu Guiying, who was pregnant and had a physical condition and had given birth to two sons and three daughters, only achieved these four harvests after years and hundreds of rounds of continuous irrigation of Ying Hao.
Mu Guiying can indeed give birth. Shenwu has one child in the second and third years, and he got pregnant again after only half a year interval. It has to be said that women who practice martial arts have good physical fitness.
As for Ren Hongchang, who was the most difficult to get pregnant, Ying Hao even played the perseverance of the old ox as plowing the land. After five or six years of uninterrupted irrigation, Ying Sheng and Ying Shuixian were found.
Arthur was able to win the bid so easily, which means that she, like Mu Guiying, has the kind of physique that is prone to pregnancy. She must irrigate more in the future. Ying Hao really wants a daughter with mixed race between East and West.
After Ying Mo was born, Arthur married his son a Western name, called Mordred, because he missed his hometown.
Ying Hao originally disagreed, after all, this is a poisonous name, and he doesn''t want rebellion or something to happen to his own home.
But Arthur seemed to like this name very much and said that this name has a special meaning to her.
Ying Hao thought about it again and felt that history had long been unrecognizable, so why should he care about those illusory things? So he named Modred Xiao.
So far, Ying Hao has eleven sons and sixteen daughters. He is the father of twenty-seven children. He is only twenty-nine years old, and he is less than thirty, just at the peak of the Spring and Autumn Period.
If you continue to be born according to this trend, Ying Hao might be able to break the record of King Wen of Zhou’s hundred sons.
As for the many concubines in Ying Hao''s harem, in addition to Ren Hongchang and Liu Mu, Ye Qingmei was the one with the most special status in his position.
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 also the only person in this era who truly understands him.
Only when he is with Ye Qingmei will Ying Hao put down his burden and forget his identity as an emperor.
Ye Qingmei is also the most talented among Ying Hao''s concubines. In addition to personally bringing back the map of the world to the West, she also pulled Cai Yan and Li Qingzhao to write the "Da Qin Dictionary" to recognize words and enlighten children of the Qin age.
In addition, Ye Qingmei also invented women''s products such as sanitary napkins, high heels, lipsticks, etc., and through Mi Zhen, Zhen Mi and Xiao Meiniang, he joined the three major commercial families, Mi Zhen Xiao, and joined several major families to do business together to sell the gadgets she invented, which was very stance to inherit the name of the Empress Dowager''s business queen.
The market for women in Daqin is actually not big, and things like sanitary napkins can be regarded as luxury goods for ordinary people, so women from ordinary families naturally cannot afford it.
Therefore, Ye Qingmei was targeting the middle and upper class at the beginning. Although the market size is small, her advantage lies in being able to monopolize the entire market and have no competitors, so the profit situation is still quite considerable.
Seeing that Ye Qingmei had such a high business talent, Ying Hao handed over the Royal Merchants to her to manage, and she could always give Ying Hao some surprises every now and then.
Ye Qingmei is very famous among the people, and the people also call her Concubine Ye, but in fact, her rank in the harem is still just a noble person, not a concubine.
Ying Hao wanted to confer Ye Qingmei as his concubine several times. After all, whether it was voyage to the West or compiling dictionaries, Ye Qingmei made great contributions to the Qin Dynasty.
Ying Hao even thought of the title for Ye Qingmei, and called him Concubine Ye. After all, this title has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, but Ye Qingmei rejected it.
The reason for Ye Qingmei''s rejection is also very simple. The royal family has regulations that only by giving birth to a prince and an imperial daughter can they be promoted to a concubine.
As for the concubines Sun Shangxiang, Zhao Ling''er, Cao Jie, Cao Xian and other concubines who were not pregnant yet but were granted the concubines, they were all princesses from other countries who were married to each other, and being granted the concubine was a respect for the marriage country.
Ye Qingmei is not pregnant with Ying Hao''s child yet, so she doesn''t want Ying Hao to break the rules for her, and it''s not that she can''t give birth. It''s the same with the promotion after having a child, she is not in a hurry.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that Ye Qingmei is a noble person in name, but in fact he has treated more than most concubines. After all, His Majesty’s preference for her is too obvious.
In the past, officials impeached Ye Qingmei, thinking that Ye Qingmei, as a concubine, always tinkering with some tricks, which really hurts the royal family''s face.
But with the birth of the Qin Dynasty''s dictionary, Ye Qingmei''s influence became increasingly greater and her reputation among the people became better and better. Gradually, no officials dared to talk about her.
—————
Southern Kingdom, Kunming.
Chi You, who married the peerless beauty as he wished, should have been proud, but he couldn''t be happy because he already knew the news of his sister''s escape from marriage. Chi You never expected that his sister Zhu Rong would exchange identities with Zixuan and leave the South by marrying her.
Chi You, who had just learned about this news, was extremely angry, but his first reaction was not to reflect on himself, but to change others and use Zixuan to exchange Zhu Rong back.
Chiyou couldn''t really push a war **** out, and Zhurong was really important to the South, so she had to be exchanged for her.
Chiyou quickly sent a letter to the marriage delegation, but the reply received was that the whole country of Qin knew that the marriage partner was Zhurong, and the Qin Emperor seemed very satisfied with Zhurong.
If we propose to change people at this time, the Southern Kingdom is really playing with the Qin Dynasty, and this marriage will have no meaning.
Chi You finally gave up on his plan to exchange for Zhurong. After all, the marriage matter has been done. Although Zhurong is important to the southern country, it is not as important as the supplies given to the southern country by the Qin Dynasty, so he has to accept this mute loss.
Zhurong, who was far away in Luoyang, saw that Chi You did not send a regular diplomatic meeting to Daqin and used Zixuan to exchange her back, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart and said that the fake marriage trick was used correctly. Only in this way can he force his brother to compromise. Otherwise, even if she escaped from the southern country, she would definitely not be able to live in peace, and his brother would definitely send someone to catch her back.
Zhurong was also worried that the brothers would take his anger out of this, so he wrote a letter back and took all the responsibility on himself.
Later, Zhurong learned that his brother did not punish Zixuan, but only married her to Gonggong to make up for his debts to Gonggong.
Zhu Rong was naturally very angry about this. She felt that she had harmed Zixuan.
But when Zhu Rong was a little confused when she knew that Zixuan not only did not refuse, but was willing to marry Gonggong on her own initiative. She thought that her good sister helped her for her, but it turned out to be for herself.
Zhurong didn''t mean to blame Zixuan. Instead, he gave a lot of gifts to congratulate them at the wedding, including a pair of dragon scale black armor, which was regarded as a wedding gift to bless them.
Dragon scale black armor is the peak of the Great Qin armor casting technology and is also the highest-level armor in the Great Qin.
Although there were military purchases between the Qin Dynasty and the Southern Kingdom, the armor sold to the Southern Kingdom were just ordinary goods, and better armor could not be afforded. , even the Dragon Scale Treasure Armor has never been sold, let alone the more advanced Dragon Scale Black Iron Armor.
The Qin Dynasty has only given Chi You a pair of dragon scale treasure armor to him as a friendly witness to the alliance between the two countries. This armor also makes Chi You very precious, but unfortunately he was broken by Xing Tian during the Battle of Southern Shu.
For this reason, Chi You felt distressed for a long time and wanted to find a craftsman to repair it, but this armor was damaged too seriously. Moreover, with the metallurgical technology of the southern country, it could not repair such advanced armor as the Dragon Scale Treasure Armor.
Now Zhu Rong directly sent back a pair of taller dragon scale black armor. I believe that a person who loves armor like Gonggong would not be resentful of her escaping marriage.
After Zhurong and Ying Hao got married, they either went to Luoyang with their daughters Sun Shangxiang, Lu Lingqi and other women, or went to train their troops, and then competed with Arthur, Phoenix Marquis. Ying Hao always came to visit her every now and then, and life was extremely comfortable.
Ying Hao did not ask Zhurong like other concubines. After all, he still wanted Zhurong to become the first female super **** general in the East. If he only stayed in the palace, Zhurong would not be able to become a super **** general.
Even the imperial concubine Mu Guiying withdrew from the army after marrying into the Ying family and focused on staying in the palace to take care of her husband and children, but Zhurong was able to live in the military camp, and the emperor even planned to let her and the Fenghuang Hou take charge of the Detachment of Women.
Both the officials of the Qin Dynasty and the people realized that this Concubine Nan had a very unusual position in His Majesty''s heart, otherwise how could he go in and out of the military camp?
It is precisely because of this that many people think that Zhurong may become the second Ye Qingmei.
…………………
Time flies, and soon five months passed, and it is April of the fourth year of Shenwu (199 AD).
During these five months, the Qin Dynasty did not continue to cause trouble and stimulate the nerves of various countries, but instead actively trained the army. The seven countries of Shu, Chu, Wei, Song, Ming, Wu and Sui were the same, all of which were expanding their troops at the limit and training new soldiers.
When the situation today is like a powder barrel, it will completely detonate with just a little bit of Mars, but no one dares to be the first to be the first. As long as Daqin does not take action, they will continue to accumulate strength.
All countries are trying their best to maintain this fragile balance, but they do not know that the Qin Dynasty has sharpened its claws. If they don’t eat a lot of money, they will not give up.
Luoyang, the imperial palace.
"Your Majesty, after ten months of training, the 750,000 new troops have been trained." Zhang Liang, Minister of War, said in a statement.
The original plan of the Qin Dynasty was to expand its army of 700,000, but it lost 50,000 troops in the Battle of Hanzhong, and after replenishing the entire army, it would be 750,000.
Currently, there are 1.55 million troops in the Qin Dynasty that can be fought, including 1.1 million infantry, 300,000 cavalry, and 150,000 naval troops.
Among the 1.55 million army, 800,000 are veterans. As for the other 750,000 new recruits, their combat effectiveness has also improved after ten months of training.
Although the combat effectiveness of the new recruits is not as good as that of the veterans, they are also useful. As long as they go to the battlefield and see the blood, they can still transform into elites in a hundred battles.
"Okay, if my Qin Dynasty has such a strong army, why worry about the uncertainty of the world and the immortality of the princes." Ying Hao said with a smile.
"Your Majesty, the new military system has been improved, and the next step is to promote it throughout the army." Prime Minister Wang Meng said.
As early as ten months ago, when the Qin Dynasty just expanded its army, Ying Hao was already working on reforming the military system. After ten months of preparation and improvement, the Qin Dynasty''s new military system was finally officially promoted throughout the army.
