Although Liao Town has not had a major military operation for nearly a year, the limelight seems to have been stolen by Dongjiang Town.

But this is only a temporary phenomenon. In the future, Liao Town, which has the red barbarian cannon, is the real main force.

When Guangning is reoccupied, Liao Town will face Liao directly. The main force of the Later Jin Dynasty will become a force to restrain and cooperate.

In fact, it can be seen from Xiong Tingbi as a governor, a governor, and a sword of Shangfang that he is far superior to Mao Wenlong in terms of status and trust.

Xiong Tingbi also knows the importance of being criticized, and monopolizing power also means an excuse for being criticized.

Therefore, the salary and food were handed over to the supervisor of the salary, and the military law was handed over to the Military Law Department. He only cared about military training, military command, and preparations for the recovery of Jinzhou, Dalinghe, and Guangning.

He reached out to brush away the thin snow on the battlement. Xiong Tingbi smiled and said, "If the Donglu returned in a desperate situation, maybe there was no need for us to chase them, and someone would intercept them halfway!"

Huang Degong blinked his eyes and understood a little, and then laughed, "It's Hudun Rabbit, I hope he has the courage."

Xiong Tingbi also connects with Mongolia, but he is different from Wang Huazhen's all hopes.

He sent a messenger and made it clear in the letter that if the Eastern Barbarians return and Lin Dankhan's troops intercepted and killed, they could use their heads to exchange for the reward silver.

A fifty taels of silver at the head of the Zhenyi was the same as the Ming army's reward, but the Ming army did not need to work and work. This policy was approved by the emperor, and it depends on whether the Mongolian tribes dared to take advantage of the situation.

It’s not that you are fighting with the Later Jin Dynasty. You don’t dare to touch the retreating Donglu, and you are so embarrassed to come and ask for rewards?

Of course, even if the Mongolian tribes remain unmoved like a mountain, the annual quota of silver rewards will be given. There are not many, so there is no need to blame the Mongolian tribes to the Later Jin Dynasty for the sake of saving money like Chongzhen.

Xiong Tingbi inspected the city and arrived at the fort. He saw artillery officer Luo Li and others pointing fingers, conducting the final survey and distance measurement.

"Sir." Several officers bowed and bowed.

Xiong Tingbi raised his hand and said, "Don't give me a gift. Thank you for your hard work."

As he said that, he took a few steps, patted the cannons covered with oil cloth, and smiled and said, "Don't set off firecrackers during the Chinese New Year. When the Donglu attacks, let's use the roar of this cannon instead!"

Luo Li was born in Fujian and Zhejiang, and had an empiricist artillery technique. He mastered theories in martial arts, which can be said to be a step further.

If Ning Yuan hadn't had a great deal, he would have been left in martial arts as an artillery instructor. After this battle, some artillery officers would have grown up, and he would have been transferred.

But Luo Li hoped to leave after fighting this battle. He was confident in the power of the Red Barbarian cannon and would definitely cause great casualties to Jiannu. This is military achievements. Returning to martial arts professors, there is also a completely different qualifications and reputation.

"If Jiannu dares to attack the city, they will taste the power of this cannon." Luo Li pointed out his hand outside the city, and there were a few reference objects that only they knew. "The real shooting data has been fully mastered, and it can be continuously fired without further testing."

After pausing, he said with some regret: "If there are several more forts in the city and the fire is concentrated and bombarded, Jiannu will suffer heavy casualties."

Xiong Tingbi smiled, reached out to pat the arm of the officer with a little weird accent, and said, "The red cannon is expensive, and it is not a long-term solution to set up passive defense on the city. It is extremely difficult for the imperial court to pull out more than twenty gates."

Luo Li pondered for a moment and said, "The emperor understands that the imperial court is manufacturing field artillery. The emperor will carefully study artillery techniques, and then take the artillery to join the war. He will follow the emperor to destroy Jiannu and restore Liaodong."

"Okay, very good." Xiong Tingbi felt the blood heat and said, "Long live to become an invincible iron cavalry in three years. You must also practice skilled artillery in three years. The iron cavalry and artillery will be added. Jiannu will be destroyed and Liaodong will be pacified. A real man will have no regrets even if he dies."

Looking at the young general in front of him, Xiong Tingbi stroked his beard and laughed, feeling extremely relieved.

................

As the fifth update approaches, scattered snowflakes were falling in the capital.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, the first day of the third year of the Apocalypse came in this faint snowy color.

At the fifth update, Zhu Youxiao was woken up by Queen Zhang Yan. But after the first shot of the New Year, the emperor who was looking forward to a good start, wanted to pretend to be dead and press his wife to sleep for a while!

"Long live, long live." Although the happiness and sweetness have not completely disappeared, Zhang Yan could only coax the emperor to get up, "I have to get up early today..."

Zhu Youxiao hummed and hugged the queen with a great touch, but he just didn't want to open his eyes.

Zhang Yan blushed and her heart beat, and her voice was a little trembling, "Long live, I have to go to Fengxian Hall, Fengci Hall to worship, and I have to go to Concubine Liu to congratulate the New Year..."

His little mouth was blocked, and Zhu Youxiao didn't open his eyes, so he was very accurate in finding it. After a while, he opened his eyes, reluctantly let go of the queen who was blushing and panting, and sat up from the bed with a wry smile.

Zhang Yan quickly got up and tidied up her messy underwear first, calling on the palace servants to serve the emperor to change his clothes.

After washing and dressing, Zhu Youxiao and the Queen sat at the table and saw the palace servants serving hot dumplings, some refreshing side dishes and pepper and cypress wine.

It is tradition to eat dumplings and pepper and cypress wine on the first day of the Chinese New Year, and royalty is no exception.

"Long live, eat more, this day is very busy!" Zhang Yan took the dumplings and dipped them in the ingredients and took them to Zhu Youxiao's small plate.

Zhu Youxiao yawned again. The work hours were good, and they were together early, so they were a little uncomfortable.

Eat it, you will be hungry if you don’t eat it. Worship, congratulations, and a grand ceremony. It’s time to give the banquet!

"You should eat more, too." Zhu Youxiao was concerned.

The queen is not calm. Today, all destined women who have been granted imperial edicts will enter the palace and celebrate the empress dowager and the queen. This is also a very cumbersome etiquette activity.

Zhang Yan was not bored. Perhaps as the mother of a country, she enjoyed this atmosphere of worship and congratulations.

But for Zhu Youxiao, although the scene of this grand dynasty meeting was very spectacular, both civil and military officials and foreign envoys would participate, which could highlight the emperor's majesty and the status of the Ming Dynasty as the "Celestial Kingdom".

But he wanted to be quiet or go to Shaoyingyuan to spend a lively New Year's Day with the children. Unfortunately, he was in his position and couldn't help himself!

At this time, the Shaoying yard was very lively, and the children were not afraid of getting up early, and they were even so excited that they couldn't sleep well, and finally waited for dawn.

They had a sumptuous meal last night, so they all went to the Meridian Gate to watch the fireworks and the Aoshan Lanterns. Although there was no Spring Festival Gala, they were not lonely and lonely.

After Xiaoye's suggestions and the emperor's adjustments, Shaoyingyuan has undergone considerable changes. The most important change is that it passes the exam and divides it into three grades according to the level of knowledge.

If you have a good foundation, like Xiaoye, you can graduate after only three years of study, which is the primary school level set by Zhu Youjiao. If you have no foundation, you have to study for almost six years and pass the exam before you can enter junior high school.

When you enter junior high school, although you still have to learn Chinese and mathematics, your proportion will decrease. Moreover, professional courses such as physics and chemistry have been added.

In that era, the development of science and technology had just begun, and many disciplines were still in the stage of germination and exploration, and there was no need for too profound cultural knowledge.

Zhu Youzhao didn't expect to train great scientists who could win the Nobel Prize and educate a group of professional subject workers, so he was very satisfied.

These children are his hope, and he is not stingy in terms of treatment, even though they are all spent. During the Chinese New Year, he allows the children to enjoy the festive joy and joy of the festival.

Therefore, the college also has a decorative light, presenting a festive atmosphere. In this festive atmosphere, it feels completely different to wander around as usual.

It’s the Chinese New Year, let’s eat dumplings!

The most eager thing is to count May. From the 24th day of the twelfth lunar month, I count the days, wait for the New Year, wait for the bustle, wait for the fullest, wait for the fullest, wait for the fullest, wait for the dumplings.

What kind of stuffing will it be? There must be meat, cabbage, radish, or... Xiao Wuyue feels that there are only a few vegetables in winter.

I got up early, washed my face clean, put on new clothes, May followed everyone to the canteen, sat obediently at the dining table, waiting for the dumplings to serve.

While waiting, she also sucked her nose, hoping to tell the type of dumpling stuffing from the fragrance.

Xiaoye walked forward with three bars and said with a smile: "Everyone should eat dumplings slowly, don't swallow them all in one go. Because—"

After deliberately pausing, Xiaoye reached out and raised a small Yuan to show it to the children, and smiled happily on his face, "Some dumplings are covered with silver and money, and those who get it will be auspicious for a year."

The children grinned and whispered, guessing what kind of dumplings would be in the money.

"You can only see, but you are not allowed to use chopsticks!" Xiaoye solemnly reminded, but his smile remained unabashed. "If you pick it up on your plate, you have to eat it, regardless of whether there is any money or not."

May's little head is very cool. She is a good child and never wastes it. What's more, fragrant dumplings are as delicious as they are without money.

A few side dishes were placed on the table. Older children not only had to study, but also could do the work within their ability. For example, cleaning the canteen and distributing food.

May was very well-behaved and sat honestly. From the surface, she could not tell at all about her eagerness to wait for dumplings.

The hot dumplings were served, and the children did not compete for them, although they should be very greedy and wanted to eat them. Because the food in Shaoyingyuan is full, this is the rule set by the Emperor Long live.

When the cloud board rang, the children picked up their chopsticks and reached towards the dumplings. Smiles appeared on their faces. Eating and playing were the happiest things for them.

After biting it, the hot juice filled the mouth and the meaty smell filled the lips. Well, it was made of pork and scallion, and the scallion was just a little flavored.

It's so fragrant! The dumplings with meatballs are bright, and May's eyes are lit up. They chew and taste the saltiness, and prepare to mix sauce and vinegar dipping sauce.

"May--" The boy opposite had swallowed the dumplings in his mouth, raised his eyebrows, and smiled: "I always want to know how many dumplings I have eaten, but I forgot as I have eaten them."

"That's a fool!" A girl teased and showed him his small plate, "Hold five at a time, and then after eating, so that she can remember how much to eat!"

"Five at a time, ten at two times, three times, three times..." the boy thought, and almost brought his feet up and counted them.

After a while, he seemed to have figured it out, nodded with conscience, and said, "Well, this is indeed a good idea. I took four of them, had already eaten one, and I just made up five."

The idiot Zhao Dabao can't even remember the thirty-five, and he still can't calculate how much he has eaten after he finishes eating.

May smiled loudly but didn't go to study. Just eat enough, why do you need to know how much you eat? Besides, dumplings are big and small, and you still have to eat as much as you want every time?

Huh? The girl diagonally opposite made a strange sound, and was hurting her teeth. But the bitterness on her face quickly turned into joy. She spit out a half-yuan dragon coin and she giggled.

"I'm so lucky!" The boy glanced at him enviously, speeded up his eating speed, and carried five dumplings into the small plate.

May just grinned. She didn't care much about small money. It would be good to be able to eat it. If you don't have that luck, it would be useless to just die of death.

Besides, May subconsciously pinched the clothes on his chest, which contained half-yuan dragon coins wrapped in colored money.

This is a New Year's gift, and every child has it. But she feels that her own is the best and most beautiful one.

Because, this was sent by the Empress and the Empress brought the palace maids to her for a few years, and she hanged it on her neck personally. Who made her look cute? She would run up to meet her and kowtow, and would ask, "What are you eating?"

Laughing sounded from time to time in the canteen, and the children who ate the "mascot" smiled happily, including the boys on the other side.

Mayyue remembers that when he first came, he called Dogzi, and he was so cute that he had a snot. When he was about to flow into his mouth, he disappeared after sucking hard. It was very magical. Now, what is the name? It seems that he was named Zhao Dabao by his teacher.

"In May, you should also take a few more to the plate and eat together." Zhao Dabao enthusiastically taught his experience, "This way you should be able to eat money!"

May smiled and shook his head, adjusted the dipping sauce, continued his own rhythm, and ate it slowly one by one, without caring about the small money.

They are not only good kids, but also good girls in the future. Can they wear Sister Xiaoye’s three levers? Can they be the same as you?

Zhao Dabao seemed to be full, but he only ate one dragon coin, and the cute May opposite was not yet! Staring at the few remaining dumplings on the plate, he gritted his teeth and stretched out his chopsticks again.

Finally, when Zhao Dabao felt that he had already eaten his throat, he felt a strange feeling in his mouth.

He hurriedly spit the dragon coins into his hands quietly. While others were not paying attention, he bounced the dragon coins on the table and bounced them in front of May.

Huh? Huh! May blinked his big eyes and looked at the dragon coins stained with food debris, and he disliked it as bad.

Zhao Dabao smiled foolishly, raised his chin and said, "Look, May has also eaten money! I will definitely have good luck this year."

May's face turned bitter and moved over the bowl of dumpling soup to block it. He didn't dare to look at the small money spit out of someone else's mouth.

It’s so disgusting. I don’t want to eat these fragrant dumplings anymore!
