On the wedding day, my wife was abnormal

Liu Miaoyan shook her long ponytail and walked out with a spear in her hand.

Since Lin Zhen is here these days, she is willing to stay by his side and act as his bodyguard.

Now that Lin Zhen is leaving, she naturally has to join the combat troops on the front line.

This is a woman who doesn't like quietness and only likes thrills and excitement.

If she is imprisoned in the capital, it would be like forcing a free bird into a cage. After a long time, she will really feel suffocated.

Fortunately, the world is a mess and there are plenty of battles for her to fight.

Mao Mengji looked at Liu Miaoyan, then at Lin Zhen who looked helpless, and suddenly regretted coming in.

"Sir, the 20,000 reserve troops led by General He Mingyuan have arrived in Qinghe and will reach Linyi in two days. Furthermore, General Zhou Ze, in collaboration with General Zheng Sanshan, has bypassed Licheng, leaving only 10,000 troops to siege it. They are heading straight for Tai'an and I think they will capture it soon."

Lin Zhen doesn't care much about these.

As long as Zheng Sanshan and Zhou Ze are obedient, there will be no major problems if we fight step by step.

What he cares about most is Chen Xiao.

"Is there any news about Chen Xiao?"

"No, but I can confirm that the order has been conveyed."

"That is to say, this kid intends to disobey orders."

"A general is not subject to military orders when he is away from home. Your Highness, please don't be too angry."

"Where is he?"

"According to the news from the scouts, Chen Xiao had already captured Mengyin the day before yesterday and continued to move south."

"Mengyin... they're fast enough." Lin Zhen rubbed his aching temple and said with his eyes closed, "I'm afraid the troops behind us have become corpse collection teams, alas."

"Your Highness is absolutely right. General Zheng Sanshan sent an official document the day before yesterday, requesting Your Highness to rein in Chen Xiao. Otherwise, he will have no chance of winning if he continues like this."

"Contain... I want to, too." Lin Zhen sighed and decided not to dwell on it any further. "Tell Zheng Sanshan that any city must strictly control the soldiers defending it. They are not allowed to harass the civilians or mistreat prisoners. Those who disobey orders will be executed."

"Yes."

"Go, bring Xiang Ying up to see me."

"Yes."

Xiang Ying was eventually caught and brought back tied up.

However, because the other party is a marshal, the undisputed top official of Nanchu, his status is no less than Lin Zhenxian in Daqian, so he cannot be treated in the same way as a captured soldier.

On the other hand, he was also a great general who had made great contributions to the country and deserved respect.

Of course, Lin Zhen was talking about his own people.

Except for the Japanese and Russians.

If it was a Japanese, Lin Zhen would not even ask any more questions and would just cut him with two knives!

The reason why he had to chop twice was because Lin Zhen was not strong enough and could not chop his head off with one blow, so he tried.

Xiang Ying was not wearing any shackles or handcuffs, and was invited in by Mao Mengji with great confidence.

The old guy was very tough and had no shame of being a prisoner. When he saw Lin Zhen, he neither saluted nor spoke. He snorted coldly and glanced away.

What an attitude.

"Xiang Ying, you're already quite old. If not for yourself, you should at least think about your descendants, right? You're a captive of Daqian now. Do you think your family will have an easy life in the capital?"

"Hmph, don't try to be so rude. If you want to kill me or cut me up, just give me a clear answer. There's no need to waste your breath."

"A headstrong marshal like you is not something the prince would appreciate. Take him away. When the prince arrives, he will interrogate him personally."

Xiang Ying was obviously stunned: "What did you say? Lin Zhenxian is coming?"

"Yeah. What? Don't you want to see your old rival?"

"Hahahaha." Xiang Ying threw his head back and laughed. "How can the emperor of your Qian Kingdom still be like this? He deprives you of your merits just after you've made some contributions. Interesting, very interesting, hahahaha!"

"You know nothing, take him away quickly and don't make me upset."

Lin Zhen disliked this old guy very much.

The emperor is my wife, so why should I be suspicious of her?

"Lin Zhen! Remember this! You won't have any offspring! Your emperor will never allow you to have any offspring! Hahahaha."

"Get out!" Mao Mengji pushed him immediately when he saw that he was still insulting Lin Zhen.

He didn't care and continued laughing as he walked out.

Lin Zhen was too lazy to bother with such people and began to write the recent battle report.

......

After waiting in Linyi for five days, Lin Zhenxian finally arrived.

The first thing the old man did when he came in was not to reminisce with his beloved grandson, but in a businesslike manner, he threatened that the handover work must be done well first and he must be responsible to the soldiers on the front line.

Lin Zhen naturally had no objection. By the time everything was explained, it was already evening.

Lin Zhenxian sat in the marshal's main seat and looked at Lin Zhen with a kind smile on his face.

Somehow, he never liked this grandson in the past two years, but now he can't get enough of him.

He was talented and good at fighting, and most importantly, he knew that his family was not large, so he kept marrying and having children.

Yeah.

After being raised for so many years, the pigs have finally learned to dig up cabbages.

Lin Zhen felt uneasy when he looked at him, and asked, "Grandfather, is everything okay at home?"

"Everything is fine. Qingwen's belly is getting bigger day by day. I think it's a boy."

It doesn’t matter whether it’s a boy or a girl, Lin Zhen doesn’t care about that.

Even Lin Zhen wanted a daughter.

It is said that a daughter is a father's little cotton-padded jacket, but a son...is of no use except paying money.

Without waiting for Lin Zhen to ask, Lin Zhenxian spoke.

"I suggest that Your Majesty let Xiaopang return from the Northeast."

"Oh? Why is that?"

"Little Fatty is too reckless. This time he went to the Northeast and basically wreaked havoc on all the noble families in Liaodong, burning, killing, looting, and committing all sorts of evil. I've long disliked him, but I've held him back because of his territorial expansion. I allowed him to return for the sake of stability in the Northeast. Didn't you say that the Northeast is full of treasures? After you return this time, you should focus on the development of the Northeast. It would be best if the ministers could see the results, otherwise Little Fatty will have accomplished nothing except murder and arson."

Developing the Northeast is a small problem in Lin Zhen's view.

Of course, this matter had to be done step by step. The development of any region in history required decades or even hundreds of years of accumulation, and it was definitely not something that could be accomplished in a short period of time. However, Lin Zhen was confident that he could show his officials the strength of the Northeast region in a short period of time.

"Eh? By the way, kid, when I came here, I saw a lot of captives in groups. Where did they come from? They shouldn't be from Nanchu, right?"

What Lin Zhenxian saw should be villagers who believed in Zoroastrianism.

Lin Zhen replied, "They were all Zoroastrian villagers. I couldn't bear to massacre them, so I had the soldiers escort them to Wuqing."

"What are you going to Wuqing for?"

"Of course they have to work. We can't keep these people around for nothing, right? So I came up with an idea. I sent them all to Wuqing, and then I set up a development zone there. They'll work during the day and receive ideological education at night, killing two birds with one stone."

"No wages?"

"Don't send it."

"Good job, you little brat! You're amazing!" Lin Zhenxian couldn't help but applaud. "Not only do you get a large number of free laborers, but you can also promote national development. Brilliant! Hahahahahaha."

"Grandfather, you're too kind. I have no other choice but to do this. Our Daqian land has been cultivated for thousands of years and is already extremely barren. The population is also overcrowded, so we can only allow some people to enter the factory first."

Although he didn't know what it meant to enter a factory, Lin Zhenxian still believed that his grandson was doing the right thing!

These villagers enjoyed the welfare of the state, yet they believed in evil cults and rebelled against the imperial court. Their crimes were unforgivable! Sparing them was already a great grace.

A guard came in to serve tea and then turned and left.

Lin Zhenxian never drank alcohol in the military camp, nor did he allow his subordinates to drink. Violators would be severely punished.

But because the previous head coach was Lin Zhen, the previous matters were not pursued.

"Since you already have villagers to work with, I will take care of the captives from Nanchu. Go home clean and have a good rest. You don't know how anxious His Majesty was when you were captured by Tiandao."

"This is absolutely impossible!"

When the captives were mentioned, Lin Zhen immediately refused and even stood up and spoke righteously.

"Your Highness, let's handle this matter impartially! If you want prisoners, go and capture them yourself. Those young men from Southern Chu must be mine!"

Lin Zhenxian's hand holding the teacup hung in the air, staring blankly at Lin Zhen.

I don't know why this brat suddenly got so excited.

"What do you want prisoners for? I'm warning you, they're all soldiers, you can't feed them!"

"Your Highness! You yourself said that I should be in charge of the affairs of the Northeast. How can I do that without someone to take care of it? I have great use for those 10,000 prisoners! They are not like villagers, they are all able-bodied men! They are an excellent labor force for coal mining!"

"No, I'm planning to use these prisoners to make a deal with Nanchu, so I can't give them to you."

"Your Majesty, if you want to make a deal with Nan Chu, I have a better bargaining chip!"

"What chips?"

"Xiang Ying."

"What!!?" Lin Zhenxian stood up like a spring after hearing that.

Lin Zhen was secretly surprised.

How can this guy be a sixty-year-old man?

This body is younger than mine.

"Stinky boy, tell me again, you caught Xiang Ying?"

"Yes."

"Then why didn't you mention it in the battle report?!"

Lin Zhen was suddenly speechless.

In fact, he was a little selfish, and felt a little embarrassed when Lin Zhenxian found out.

Lin Zhenxian was so angry that his whole body was shaking, and he pointed at Lin Zhen and said.

"You stinky boy, you dare to play tricks on me, I'll beat you to death!"

After saying this, Lin Zhenxian instantly jumped over the table, his speed was so fast that it made people jaw-dropping.

Lin Zhen didn't have time to react as he was grabbed by the collar.

Lin Zhenxian raised his hand and was about to slap him in the face when he heard shouting from the door.

"Your Majesty, please stop!"

Lin Zhenxian and Lin Zhen looked outside the door at the same time and saw Liu Miaoyan standing there.

She walked in quickly and saluted Lin Zhenxian with her fists clasped.

"Your Majesty, please forgive me. I don't know what mistake the prince made."

Lin Zhenxian's old face twisted, he looked at Lin Zhen in disbelief and asked.

"When did your relationship with Yanyan become so good?"
