The first year of Hongxian, which is the summer of six years in total, was particularly stuffy. As soon as summer began, the north was so stuffy that it was unbearable. Farmers began to worry that the crops in the fields would suffer again if it was a dry season.

Yuan Weiting's body became bad again due to the changes in the weather. Although Chen Lianfang was invited to ask for a pulse, the potion was no longer as effective as the last time. It was also the battle situation on the front line that was as anxious as the weather.

Judging from the paper data, the number and military expenditure of Hong Xian's army are not enough for the Yunnan-Guizhou army. The dispatch of ace troops such as the Third Division made many people believe that this would be a devastating victory. If there is any problem, it is nothing more than the distribution of Yunnan and Guizhou provinces. Who should the emperor appointed as the supervisor, who should be the public, and who should be the marquis. But the current situation is that the war has burned into Sichuan, and the Beiyang soldiers have only stabilized the front line, but cannot push the enemy back to Yunnan. This performance on the Yunnan battlefield is the best performance among the three fronts.

The civilian army in Hunan formed an alliance with the Communist Army. Tang Zhuxin, the biggest hero in the Wuchang reign, has now become the most highly valued pillar under Emperor Hong Xian. Although he has no experience in leading troops, he has a huge influence among the gentry and is familiar with public opinion. The troops equipped for him are also powerful generals like Ma Jizeng and Zhang Zongyao, plus the Imperial Guards like the Seventh Mixed Brigade.

In comparison, the civilian army has poor equipment and poor training. The troops entering Hunan, the Yunnan-Guizhou Guest Army should not be welcomed by local forces no matter how they look. In Yuan Weiting's view, using his own troops to deal with such troops should be easily crushed. But the fact is that the troops are progressing slowly and it is difficult to collect food and wages. Tang Zhuxin's influence on the local area is not expected, as if this hero of Gonghe who once led the Hubei gentry to declare war on the Jin Dynasty lost all his magical powers after restoring the imperial system.

The gentry did not buy new tents, and the military supplies were not willing to assist. The Beiyang Army had to fight against the civilian army, but also faced endless assassinations, attacks and harassment day and night. The help the gentry could provide was extremely limited, and most gentry adopted an attitude of sitting on the wall to watch. Hunan was like a quagmire, trapping the two divisions and one brigade inside, and unable to pull out his legs at all.

A large number of soldiers were unfamiliar with the environment, and were not accustomed to the local environment, had many diseases, and were seriously deprived of non-combat personnel. The secret telegrams taken by Tang Tianxi repeatedly stated that most soldiers died of illness, insufficient food and grass supply, and it was still unsuccessful to stabilize the front line, so it was impossible to advance the front line.

Compared with Guangxi, the situation in Hunan is not too bad. Long Chaoguang's troops were ambushed by Ma Qi, a strong general under the command of Guangxi Governor Lu Ganqing, and all the troops were disarmed. After obtaining this batch of arms, Lu Ganqing immediately swore an uprising, sent a telegram to fight against Yuan, and respected Cen Chunxuan as the commander-in-chief and led his troops to attack Guangdong.

The civilian army in Guangdong, which was rushing with the entry of Sun Emperor Xiang, formed a front line with the Gui Army Alliance. The first naval fleet, originally belonged to Hong Xian, also raised the anti-flagship and joined the Communist Party. The successive rebellions led to the complete disappointment of the situation in Guangdong. Long Qiguang, who was originally expected by Yuan Weiting, not only could not cut off Cai Feng's retreat, but even the Guangdong local area could no longer control it. Guangdong and Guangxi had been occupied by the Iron-blooded Eighteen Star Flag. Hong Xian's flag was shaking.

The continuous bad news was like poisonous arrows shooting at Yuan Weiting, beating the ambitious emperor, both physically and mentally exhausted and mentally exhausted. He found that becoming an emperor was not as easy as he imagined. People would not become obedient just because the country suddenly had an emperor, and even the conflicts would become more serious than before becoming emperor. The idea of ​​originally hoping to stabilize the position with a war has now become a joke.

No matter how hard he wanted to stabilize the hearts and physical condition, Yuan Weiting was no longer allowed to persevere. The emperor, who once forced himself to support and gave people the impression of health and strength, finally fell ill again and ignored the national affairs. Shen Jinying boiled the medicine and sent it to Yuan Weiting's mouth. He watched him drink the medicine soup before he breathed a sigh of relief.

Less than a hundred days... His dream shouldn't have woken up so early. Shen Jinying thought of this. Before he became emperor, the governors of various provinces submitted a letter of persuasion. It shouldn't have been like this now... It shouldn't have been like this.

Yuan Weiting's voice was like a bellows. After a while, he asked: "Frontline...the battle report on the frontline..."

"Don't worry about the front line, just rest first. As you said, you are the heaven of the people and the backbone of all people. If your health is not good, how can the people below calmly settle down to fight? As long as your body is good, you can win this battle."

Yuan Weiting shook his head, "How can things be so easy... Why did my troops become like this? Since I was a small station to train troops, I have put such great efforts into these troops, but in the end, they have used this method to repay me. I have no heart and no heart!"

He cursed a few times, feeling a little excited, Shen Jinying quickly comforted her, "It doesn't matter, don't worry. Look at it this day, it's still so hot to stay in the house, let alone outside? I heard that the climate in Sichuan is hotter than here, and the soldiers can't stand it just by being sunny. How can we fight? Wait, when the weather gets cooler, we should win."

"I'm confused! How much does it cost to wait until the weather is cool? How can we pay so much money?" Yuan Weiting panted and said, "Fight quickly, we must fight quickly, we must fight quickly! No, I have to change generals. The commander-in-chief of the front enemy must change people. We use female officials in the palace, so why don't we see Shandong? He runs a female school in Shandong and has trained some female talents. Why can't we see them in the palace? Didn't I ask Shandong to select women with outstanding talents and morality and come to Beijing to serve? He didn't send anyone there?"

Shen Jinying quickly smiled and said, "Don't mention it, this Guan Hou is also a nonsense. He chose a female official for His Majesty, and finally made him choose a woman for himself, causing a lot of trouble. The inner house is much more lively than our palace, so this matter... is delayed."

"So that's the case... If he likes a woman, he will let him marry him. You send a telegram to Su, saying that it was my intention and let her put the overall situation first. No matter what kind of woman he is, even a lady from a famous family or a wealthy official, they will be given a marriage! After getting married, they will be immediately dispatched to Sichuan as the commander-in-chief of the front-line enemy. I will grant him... the lord of the five southwest provinces!"

Yuan Weiting's voice became higher, and it seemed that he had made the greatest determination. "Shandong was well managed by Guanhou, but now Shandong has developed to its limit. No matter how capable he has, it will not make Shandong better. Instead of doing this, it is better to let him go to another province to establish a government and build a second and third Shandong for the country. The more provinces like Shandong, the stronger our country's strength is, and it will be of great benefit to the country and nation. Han Yun's character is just like Cao Zijian of the previous dynasty, who is willing to write poetry and books and lazy to govern politics.

People are not suitable for being the king. Even if I hand over the country to him, he will not have the power to control it. So according to my opinion, it is better to arrange for him to be a vassal of a province and be a free prince. You will not have to worry about food and drink, and you will also follow his wishes. Shandong has rich resources and rich people. There is no need to be able to be officials. You just need to keep the achievements and let Hanyun be a vassal of Shandong. For him, the five southwest provinces will give him the best outcome. As for Guanhou, he will be given the southwest king of the country. In the future, he will be the main one to the south of the Yangtze River and be with me. Now, he should be satisfied."

Yuan Weiting's arrangement was very clever. If he arranged for others to go to Shandong, Shen Jinying would definitely stand up and strive for Zhao Guanhou. However, now giving the position of Shandong coach to Yuan Hanyun is equivalent to using her son to squeeze out her brothers. The two weighed the two, but the son was more important than the brothers, and Shen Jinying had nothing to say.

When Fusang invaded Shandong, Zhao Guanhou publicly refused the order to relocate the arsenal, which actually made Yuan Weiting quite dissatisfied. After the Battle of Shandong, Zhao Guanhou's reputation reached an unprecedented peak, and the president's reputation was not as high as his subordinates. Combined with Shandong's military and economic strength, Yuan Weiting had to worry whether Zhao Guanhou could control him if he wanted to be a great throne.

Based on the traditional idea of ​​loyalty and righteousness, he did not think that Zhao Guanhou would really rebel, but it is hard to say what attitude he would take after his son succeeded to the throne.

Therefore, he had long wanted to take action against Shandong. However, whether it was based on Shen Jinying's relationship, the friendly cooperation between the two families, or the public opinion style in society, he could not take de facto actions against Zhao Guanhou. This time, the use of martial arts in the southwest made Yuan Weiting finally make the decision to persuade Shandong to go out at the expense of some of the emperor's authority.

It took at least ten years to transfer Zhao Guanhou to the southwest to open the capital. During that period, his son should be enough to train a strong army to suppress the governors of various provinces. Even Zhao Guanhou did not dare to act rashly. This was also the biggest thorn he had pulled out for his son.

"You send him a secret telegram to explain what I mean. The Thais are capricious. They clearly agreed to support me in the newspaper to proclaim me emperor, but when they turn around, they do not allow our troops to attack Yunnan. It is clearly a bully of us. Only those who are as strong as Guan Hou and who are familiar with diplomacy can avoid being bullied by foreigners. Furthermore, the war broke out in Thailand now, and the influence that the great powers can exert on China is limited, which is a great opportunity for our rise in China. Vietnam has been seized by Cape since the pre-Kinth era and became a colony of the Thais' powers. This time, taking advantage of the opportunity to use troops to Yunnan, I will support Guan Hou, let him recover Vietnam and include the land in China's territory. Destroy Fusang in front, take Vietnam in the back, and seal the wolf and Juxu. The Han champion Hou Huo Piao in the future. In the future, Yuan and Zhao will share the world, and I will give him the people, wealth and military power in Jiangnan. I will send him a report quickly!"

Although Shen Jinying knew that Zhao Guanhou did not support or objection when he heard the emperor, he would not send troops for Hong Xian. However, at present, Yuan Weiting had already placed his hope of turning the tables on Shandong, and she could only hope that the old friendship could be used again. The promise of dividing the river and half of the world might be exchanged for Shandong to send troops... I hope so.

Looking at Yuan Weiting's haggard face, Shen Jinying secretly prayed: God bless you, let his dream be done for a few more days.

When the telegram was sent to Jinan, Zhao Guanhou put a hand-made ice bowl in front of Chen Lenghe like a monkey offering treasure.

"I tell you, if you want to talk about this ice bowl, you have to eat Huixiantang. There are ten acres of lotus ponds near the area, and the water from the river is planted with fresh and water lotus roots. The source of the pond water is the same as that of the Beifu. It is all the water from Yuquan Mountain in the west of Beijing, so the river food is better than the lotus root of West Lake. In addition, the river pond also produces chicken head rice. The chicken head that has just been strongly pelleted is extremely large, not only does not produce the portion, but also does not collect the medicine shop, so no one can bear to pick it, only Huixiantang has it. Last time you went to the Liang God of Wealth God Banquet at Huixiantang, and this was the one I ate. Although we can't compare to the capital city in Jinan, there is no way to eat the river food if you want to eat the river food? Try my skills and the ingredients are a little worse than those of Beijing, but it is also the water fermented fresh, and the best river food. Do you think the taste is similar?"

Pregnant women are in trouble and think of what to eat if they don’t know. The stuffy weather makes pregnant women more likely to be emotional. Chen Lenghe is now at this stage. Although she has an electric fan, she dare not blow it. She is so hot that she remembers Huixian Ice Bowl that she has eaten in Beijing.

The difficulty of this thing lies in the ingredients. Even though Zhao Guanhou had great hands and eyes, he could only invite the chef of Huixian Hall, but he could not get the river food. Unexpectedly, he cooked himself and tried his best to get such a rice food in Jinan. Of course, he could not compare with the famous chefs. However, Chen Lenghe had eaten it all the way from her mouth to her heart.

Ajiu looked at the two of them with envy expressions, "The Grand Marshal is so nice to Sister Leng He. He doesn't even read the telegram from Beijing. He is busy making food for Sister Leng He in the kitchen. He sweats a lot. I want to help, but the Grand Marshal refuses."

"Shut up! What's the hard work of this kind of thing? You can make Songemoto's helping dishes, but you won't make this ice bowl in the north. You are not helping or making trouble. In the future, you don't need to report on these small things. If you dare to talk too much, I will marry you to the ugly officer who is the most beloved and loves to beat your wife." Zhao Guanhou threatened, but Ajiu was not afraid of him

"I'm not afraid with Sister Leng He here. Besides, I can get divorced even after marrying! Now Shandong knows that women can divorce men, but at worst they can sue."

Although Zhao Guanhou had changed his clothes intently, Leng He could imagine what he would be like when he was busy in the kitchen in such a stuffy weather. What's more, the governor of a province cooked and made ice bowls for his wife. I'm afraid that no one would believe it. Sister Han Zhi, I will definitely beat you this time.

She thought of this and felt both complacent and guilty. "Are you not afraid of spoiling me? Next time, I will eat something more rare. What should you do?"

Zhao Guanhou smiled and said, "What else can I do? Of course, the wife has an order and must not disobey. Women are originally used to spoil them. If they cannot enjoy them, how can they be considered as the governor's wife? Come on, let me hear what happens to our children."

Looking at her husband, infinite ripples appeared in Chen Lenghe's heart. Her luck was indeed good. She almost missed it with such a man. Looking back on the past, the biggest regret was that she met too late. As for the twists and turns, she has now become part of the sweet memories between husband and wife.

The two of them snuggled together, and they didn't care about the general trend of the world. Chen Lenghe asked, "Is that telegram important? I have Ajiu serving him, everything is fine. Now the country is in such chaos. I can't hold you back. If you want to go and do it... I won't mind."
