Well, the truth is that Zhao Xin is 1.8 meters tall, while A Miao is 1.58 meters tall, so if he wants to hug the other person's waist, he can only bend down.

Even though Ah Miao was forced by Zhao Xin to eat beef and mutton, drink milk every day, and have been eating Shancun films for several years. Every morning, she has to skip rope and bask in the sun. The little girl is still not more than 1.6 meters tall.

This is nothing strange. Looking at the entire 18th and mid-19th centuries, the general height of the Japanese was only about 1.2 to 1.4 meters, and A Miao could grow to nearly 1.6 meters, which is an exception. The old saying goes, "Male to 18 to 20, women to 20", Zhao Xin felt that there was still a chance to jump.

Let's say something fun.

Now the "Sea Dog Gongka" Tokugawa Kichi, who is in the dynasty, is 1.56 meters tall. Don't underestimate it. His figure is the fifth tallest among the fifteen shoguns in history, and is taller than the four successors behind him. When Matsue Taedaki, who was 1.5 meters tall, was Yariyama when he first met Zhao Xin. After he fled back to Edo, Tokugawa Kichi learned that Zhao Xin was nearly six feet tall, and his chin almost smashed his chin onto the tatami.

"I, I want to go back to my hometown to see you." After snuggling on Zhao Xin's chest for a moment, A Miao made a request in a slightly hesitant tone.

Zhao Xin said "um" casually. It was really uncomfortable to always bend his waist, so he pulled A Miao and sat on a double sofa next to him, hugged the other person's shoulder and whispered: "Go back to the island country?"

A layer of crystal clear appeared in A Miao's eyes and murmured: "It's been nine years. I want to go see my grandmother, mother and younger brother, give them incense sticks, and tell them that I have been doing well over the years and will continue to get better in the future, so don't worry about me."

What could Zhao Xin say? Of course, he had to agree unconditionally. However, when he proposed to go back with A Miao, A Miao's eyes first showed a hint of joy, and then shook her head and said no. She explained that her mother and younger brother were washed away by mudslides, and she didn't know where the body was. Grandma had a kind-hearted person from the village to help bury it and erected a "stele" with wooden pieces. This time she went there, and wanted to renovate her grandma's cemetery, and it would take nearly a month to travel back and forth.

Zhao Xin thought for a while and said, "I'll ask Jishan's sister to accompany you and draw a platoon from the guard company."

Chen Jishan's sister Chen Erya married Li Qingwen two years ago and was also a matchmaker for Wu Zhong's protection. Although she married a wife and gave birth to a fat boy, Chen Erya still served as the captain of the female family's guard in Zhao Xin's house. The child also hired a nanny to watch. She stayed in the back of Zhao Xin's house for a long time every day. Over the years, after careful training with her and Wang Yuanfang's wife, Beihai Town has a female guard with more than 20 people.

Almost all those who can be women guarding are women in border guard hunters. They are fierce, straightforward and tough, and do not have the ethics of Han women. Beihai Town has been promoting equality between men and women over the years. There are also female soldiers in the army, and their treatment is higher than that of male soldiers. Especially Liu Sheng’s wife Wu Xiha played a good demonstration role among Hezheren.

The female guard may not be able to become a master like Wang Yuanfang's wife, but it is necessary to be flexible. In addition, everyone has good shooting skills, so even Zhao Xin's guards dare not underestimate it easily.

“不用,那么多人太招摇了.”

“这事我说了算!安全第一.”

Hearing Zhao Xin's unavoidable tone, A Miao had to say "um" and her little head arched on the other person's shoulder. On a large stool opposite the sofa, Duofu, who was lying on a thick cushion, looked at the pair of men and women in front of him, showing a satisfied expression, making a snoring sound from his mouth, stretching his limbs and rolling.

The "Miao Ji" next to the King of Zhao Palace wanted to return to his hometown to worship his relatives, which was not a trivial matter. When the news reached the Sendai vassal, the old man Ishikawa Murakami attached great importance to this. He immediately sent an envoy to the "Beihai Immortal Office", which is Cao Peng's mansion, and solemnly requested that the ceremonial affairs be handed over to the full responsibility of the vassal, and they would handle it according to the level of welcoming the general.

There is an island woman in Zhao Xin's family. In fact, it was known to me a few years ago that the Sendai Fan and Tokugawa Shogunate had known. At first, they thought the little girl was just a beautiful maid selected from refugees. But after a long time they realized that something was wrong. Ah Miao's status in Beihai Town was extraordinary. You should know that Ah Miao occasionally expressed her opinions, and those naturalized people with island nationality would regard it as an imperial edict, thinking that it was Zhao Wangdian who asked her to pass on the message on her behalf.

Especially the earliest naturalized people from Beihai Town, who respect Amio very much. They now live a life of abundant food and clothing. Not only do they live in large blue brick houses with two or three entry, but the whole family is dozens of times better than the vassal lords of the island country. Of course, their behavior of eating meat every meal also made the shogunate bosses deeply despise them, believing that these people are traitors and their souls have long been impure.

In recent years, the "Korean Sea Perseverance" of the Shogunate and the Sendai vassal side tried to give gifts to Ah Miao through several Lan scholars who defected to the town of Bekhai. However, Ah Miao always hated the inaction of the Shogunate after the eruption of the Senma Mountain volcano. In addition, due to the influence of Zhao Xin over the years, no matter whether it was the Sendai vassal or the Shogunate envoy, to avoid disturbing his peaceful and happy life.

Just late last year, after one-eyed Dragon Masajangzong, after 180 years, the Sendai Fan finally went abroad again and sent the first 300 immigrants to Palawan Island. The hot climate on the island made the people of Sendai who were used to living in a cool and humid environment very uncomfortable. However, it was a place where three cooked a year was rewarded by the King of Zhao Palace. There were many fish, shrimps and various birds alone, and they could not finish eating. The news came back, and the Sendai Fan was overjoyed. The heads of each family decided to wait for the monsoon this autumn to transport 500 people there.

As the Sendai Basilica became stronger and stronger, Ishikawa Murakami's ambitions grew. Now he was no longer satisfied with just being a family. What he wanted to do was to be a regent or even Guan Bai. However, before taking action, he had to get Zhao Xin's affirmation. Now that he had the opportunity to establish a relationship with "Miao Ji", Ishikawa Murakami was unable to ask for it.

However, my wife's county is in Takasaki, and I have to inform Edo about this." Cao Peng sat cross-legged on Lin Sheep, leaning his arms in front of him, speaking very casually.

The messenger of Ishikawamura bowed and said, "It's okay, we will send someone to inform Edo."

Cao Peng nodded, straightened up and said, "I have to remind you that I have no objection to fighting with the shogunate, but Ah Miao came back this time to visit the graves for her family. Don't involve her in the matters around her, otherwise you will know the temper of King Zhao."

The envoy leaned over and said, "This vassal state can be careless of the care of King Zhao and Mr. Cao, and I will never forget it. I will go back and report it now."

As soon as the messenger left, Cao Peng got up and went to the backyard. Lin Sanyue was walking in the garden with two nurses with a big belly. Seeing her husband Lin Sanyue smiling, she waved her hand playfully at him, so Cao Peng walked over quickly like a pug.

Although this girl looks as quiet as a flower, she is a stubborn girl in her bones. Otherwise, she would not have argued against Li Chao County Magistrate in person. When she and her husband returned to Beihai Town to report their work, Cao Peng and Lin Ruoyu meant to let her stay in Beihai Town for delivery. After all, the medical level of the island country is really not very good. But March refused to agree and said, "After marriage, she will go wherever her husband goes."

Cao Peng was helpless by his wife, and he didn't dare to lose his temper, so he had to look for Liu Siting and beg for a long time. Only then did the other party send two of the most experienced nurses to come with him.

“夫君,是谁来了?”

Cao Peng likes to hear March call him "husband" and says with a smile: "Fun Ishikawamura."

"What's the matter?"

"Hey! Boss Zhao's young wife comes back to sweep the grave, and these guys have become turtles and move."

“这跟王八有什么关系?”

Lin Sanyue had been living with her father in Hunchun City before. After getting married, she came to the Xiantai vassal state. So she was confused about many people and things in Beihai Town, and Cao Peng rarely mentioned it. When she heard "Boss Zhao's little wife", her first reaction was that "Empress Shen".

“鳖(憋)不住了呗!”

March and the two nurses were stunned. When they reacted, they covered their mouths and laughed. Then the two nurses left on the excuse of something and asked the couple to speak.

“相公是说沈娘娘要来?”

Cao Peng thought to himself, I was dizzy, there was no matter where this is! So he told his wife what he knew about A Miao. While looking at the flowers and plants in the yard, March responded "Yeah" and said after hearing it, "In this way, the life experience of that girl Miao is really pitiful. But she was also lucky to meet King Zhao."

Cao Peng said casually: "Haha, what did you say at the beginning? It turned out that it was a play-making process, which is really OK."

March was shocked when he heard this, and quickly turned around and glanced at him, and said softly: "Husband, don't talk nonsense like this, especially the King of Zhao."

"Don't worry! Boss Zhao is not such a petty person. To be honest, I still admire him very much."

The couple took a few more steps. March suddenly stopped and tilted his head to look at Cao Peng and joked: "Husband, will you accept a little girl too? Wait a few years later..."

Cao Peng took the other party's hand without thinking, and said, "I, Cao, swore to heaven, and I will be nice to Sanyue alone in my life. If I violate the oath, call me..."

"I'm joking with my husband!" March yelled to raise his hand to cover his husband's mouth, with a smile in his eyes.

After lunch, March felt a little tired and went to rest. Cao Peng got up and went to the front yard, looked around, and it was quiet, so he came to the doorman, coughed lightly, and soon a middle-aged man with a smile on his face came out.

"Why do you have to come here in person if you have something to do? Just find someone to call Xiao."

"Kakunosuke, what I told you last month..."

"At noon, I'll send someone to send a message and ask me to come and see people in the afternoon." After Kakunosuke said that, he leaned into Cao Peng's ear and whispered: "I heard that he is the daughter of a businessman! He is well-educated and well-reasoned, and he looks like he was looking for according to your requirements."

Cao Peng whispered: "Don't leak the news!"

Kakunosuke bowed and said, "Yes."

......

As May began, the war in South Asia continued. Mysore and Marata, who received a large amount of material assistance from Beihai Town, fought hard.

Governor Leclerc had a great affection for the Cialis who helped him sit back on the throne of the governor. In order to go to Beihai Town to meet Prince Louischar as soon as possible, he simply came to a big show. Except for the administrative affairs in the city, he still under his control, and all military affairs were authorized to Ding Guofeng.

This war started by the British East India Company against the French has developed to this day, and Lord Cornwallis is already in a difficult situation. It would be fine if the French did not resolve it. If Mysore was asked to take back the ceased territory, the East India Company's prestige would have suffered a severe blow.

Starting from February, except for the Qing Dynasty, which occupied Gurkha in the north, did not intervene, all other Tumen in the Hindustan area have appeared. Some places have already started fighting, and some places are about to go on.

The last Indo-Med War was when the East India Company's army divided into three groups to attack Mysore. Hyderabad and Marata took advantage of the situation as the British alliance, and Mysore was defeated.

This time, with the help of Beihai Town, Tipu Sultan and Ding Guofeng reached an agreement to guard the British troops in Kolkata and Madras. He himself led 50,000 troops in Kanatic and Malabar on the Deccan Plateau. Since the war between the two sides has mainly revolved around the area between the Krishna River and the Penna River in eastern India.

After the signing of the Treaty of Selinga Patan two years ago, the Nizam family, the ruler of Hyderabad, obtained this land. Especially the two forts, Kadapa and Gandikota on the southern bank of the Penna River, are of great military significance to Mysore.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content behind! Fearing from the existence of the Northern Navy, the British East India Company, who was beaten up before, was afraid that the army would be trapped in Madras and would not dare to go anywhere, for fear that as soon as they left, they would be taken out of their nest. As the North Navy had fought too much, Cornwallis, who was a soldier, had already faintly noticed a terrible fact; the reason why he was repeatedly crushed by his opponent on the battlefield was not only the problem of weapon generation difference, but also the collision of different military systems.

Since he couldn't beat it, Cornwallis could only resolve it through negotiation. He asked Dundas, who was the official who managed Indian colonial affairs, to go to local governance and contact Beihai Town as his secret history. Unexpectedly, as soon as both sides sat at the negotiating table, Dundas finished his opening remarks with a smile, Ding Guofeng put forward the conditions for Beihai Town.

First, the East India Company recognizes the legal rule of Mysore France over South India, and any future war against the Kingdom of Mysore will be regarded as declaring war on Beihai Town; second, the East India Company shall not sell opium to Guangzhou and Southeast Asia, including Borneo, Bacheng, Malacca City and other Chinese gathering places. Once seized, Beihai Town has the right to arrest merchants and sailors, punish them in accordance with its own laws, and confiscate ships and all cargo as a fine.

After hearing this, Dundas whispered with the secretary beside him, then pretended to be puzzled and said, "General Ding, we did not sell a lot of opium to Guangzhou. It was all done by the Portuguese. They secretly sold opium from the Mawa area to Macau."

Ding Guofeng sneered: "Mr. Dundas, please put away your cleverness! Last year alone, you sold 2,600 boxes of opium to Guangzhou. If you can no longer control those licensed private merchants, we don't mind taking care of you. We only have one way, which is to send them to the gallows and hang them outside the city of Malacca, so that all the passing merchants can see!"

Dundas changed his expression and drew a cross on his chest, thinking that he was really a group of "barbarians", how could the company have such an opponent?

That is, from the year when Liu Zheng went to Guangzhou, due to the changes in the method of simply smoking opium, the amount of opium input in Guangdong has seen a jumping growth, from 1,500 boxes to 4,000 boxes, with an average annual growth rate of up to 10.3%. Today, in Guangdong, opium consumption is a situation where "only farmers do not taste the taste among the four people."

Among the more than 4,000 boxes of opium that entered the Guangdong market, 2,600 boxes were from Bangladesh, and the other more than 1,000 boxes were from Mawa. The traffickers were Portuguese, who smuggled opium into Guangzhou through Macau.

After the Battle of Changxing Island, Deng Fei warned the other party when he met Macalny. After that, under his advice, the East India Company banned the company's ships from carrying opium to China. The problem was that the official trafficking had stopped, but the EIC continued to issue licenses for trade with China to private merchants and did not take any measures to prevent private merchants from importing opium to China. Therefore, Bangladeshi opium was still continuously transported to China by private merchants.

As Beihai Town just ended its war with the Dutch last year and followed by local governance, the navy's deployment in Malacca was not perfect. Although it issued a smoking ban order, the inspection of private merchant ships was not in place, and there were too many fish that missed the net.
