Lord of the House: Chapter 15 marriage

After nightfall, news came back from Seogwipo one after another.

The side hall on the second floor of the main building is used as a simple war room. On the west wall, there is a map of Danla Island. Identify it.

Ge Changgen led a water battalion to attack the remnants of the Haiyang/Navy Army in Seogwipo. At this time, the battle had already started. Lin Fu, Zhou Pu, Zhao Hu, Lin Jing and others were all waiting in the war room for the latest battle report. back.

The climate of Jeju Island is comparable to that of Chongju. At this time, it is also the cold season, and the brazier is burned in the room. The hot charcoal fire sizzled in the high-footed copper basin. Lin Bing sat in front of the brazier and drank the local tea produced in Jeju. There was some fishy smell, but he could barely drink it.

At this moment, the stairs outside were creaky, listening to Song Jia whispering to others outside. After a long time, she came in and asked, "What's the matter?"

"Kingdom of Danluo was thoughtful, afraid that it would be inconvenient for the adults to live in Jeju, so he specially sent four well-behaved and smart girls over to serve the adults in the daily life here," Song Jia replied with a faint smile on the corner of her mouth. , "They're all daughters of big families. They know the book and have good manners. They have studied Han since childhood. The adults don't have to worry about what they can't understand. They are all waiting outside. Would you like to bring them in to show the adults?"

The empire lost Liaodong, but in fourteen years, the cultural influence on the Danluo and Koryo people had not been weakened much. Officials and aristocrats in Danluo and Goryeo all regard learning Chinese as a fashion. It is not surprising that four girls who speak the same language can be selected on Danluo Island.

But at this moment, King Li Jian of Danluo thought of offering a girl here, and it was not the right time.

Seeing the faint smile at the corner of Song Jia's mouth, Lin Bie waved his hand and said, "Send it back! When is it time to make this mess?"

Zhou Pu, Zhao Hu, and others were all military generals, and they didn't like this kind of behavior of sending their daughters to please and flatter them, so they sat there without saying a word; Lin Jingzhong was noncommittal, and it was normal to remember this kind of thing.

"I'm afraid it would be inappropriate to send it back like this. The King of Danluo intends to make good friends, but wouldn't it be heart-wrenching to send it back? Besides, it's not good for these four girls: it's not good to return the items that were sold. It's valuable..." Song Jia said.

Lin Shui led his troops to aid Jeju Sai. It was an idea to act on the spot. At that time, he was even worried about the position of the Danluo people, but he didn't expect that the Danluo people had no room to choose a position just after coming here.

There are Zhou Pu, Ge Cunxin, Zhao Hu and others who are leading the army to fight, and there is no shortage of people who make up their minds, but force cannot solve all problems. Hearing Song Jia say this, Lin Fu thought that this matter was not just a matter of simply sending four girls over to serve him. His brows were slightly frowned, and he felt that it would not be good to send them back directly.

"What do you say?" Lin Bie asked.

"These four girls are all well-informed and good-looking, and they are indeed from big families on the island," Song Jia said, "It's better not to refuse first. It is also good to promise those officials and generals in Chongzhou who have not yet married. Matching. It's not humiliating to each other, and it can be considered a good marriage..."

"..." Lin Bie frowned. There is a big difference between offering a daughter as a maid and getting married. This involves the most fundamental position on Danluo Island. It is not so easy to make a decision. Said, "Do you think that it is better to support Li's establishment in Danluo for now?"

"Apart from that, are there any other good strategies?" Song Jia asked.

"..." Lin Fituo nodded and thought, things were far from being as simple as they seemed.

"Chongzhou's troops are divided into three groups, how long can the army stay in Danluo?" Song Jia said, "Korryeo is a small country, but it is a country of millions. What's the benefit?"

"Danluo's forces are too weak," Lin Fu said. "It has always been subservient to strong states, and officials and people may not have the will to resist..."

"The vassal states of Fusang are also strong and weak, choose the weak and support them, petition the court, canonize them, allow them to benefit from Jeju's maritime trade, and support each other with Danluo, it is better than Chongzhou here. It's better to have troops," Song Jia said, "If the She family is not slow, they should also make arrangements for this..."

"You mean Kyushu Island?" Lin Fu asked.

"Well," Song Jia nodded and said, "Jin'an's sea merchants can't watch the starry night sailing yet, but from Jin'an to the sea, the ship sails northeast along the current. If it goes well, in three or five days, you can see On the land, there is a country named Osumi, and I think it is the Osumi feudal state on the island of Kyushu..."

Due to the limitation of shipbuilding and navigation technology, the exchanges between the Central Plains and the Goryeo Peninsula mostly took the land route, but there was a record of navigating with the Fusang Islands nearly a thousand years ago.

Fusang and Goryeo are not new continents.

Due to the characteristics of the route, the merchants who went to sea from Mingzhou Prefecture and Jinan Prefecture mostly contacted the southern part of Kyushu Island, and Danluo Island has never been taken seriously.

In the eyes of pirates, Danluo Island is also a remote and remote place, and is rarely visited.

Lin Fu directly applied the astrology technique to the isolatitude navigation, which made it possible to open up a fast route from Chongzhou to Jeju, and the status of Danluo Island was highlighted.

In the past, maritime trade routes were blocked. First, the imperial court banned trade and the sea, and second, the East China Sea bandits were huge, blocking the mountains and blocking the sea.

In fact, the maritime trade route has never been completely cut off, but for a long time, the East China Sea pirates have become the main body of maritime trade with feudal states such as Goryeo, Honshu, and Kyushu, and the scale has always been large.

Even if the She family did not raise the flag in the early years, it is not surprising that they participated in smuggling activities on a small scale. In addition, a large number of former East China Sea pirates have attached themselves to the luxury family. How could the luxury family not know the benefits of the maritime trade route?

In the past two years, the luxury family has penetrated into the East China Sea, and the property looted from the coastal areas of Zhejiang and Jiangdong has flowed into East Fujian.

Lin Fu sent people to operate Jeju, which is the right time to fill this gap, but at the same time, the luxury family will inevitably resume the route between Jinanfu or Mingzhoufu and the southern part of Kyushu Island...

Raw silk, sucrose, iron, and tea from Dongmin are all in short supply on the maritime trade routes, and they can make huge profits to make up for the lack of military resources.

The She family did not have the energy to send troops across the sea, but at this time it was possible to support proxy forces in the southern part of Kyushu Island, make peace with Gaoli, or make peace with the Donghu people, and join forces to suppress the forces of Chongzhou in the East China Sea.

It is also impossible for Lin Fu to invest unrestricted forces on Jeju Island, support proxy forces, and win over and differentiate the forces in the East China Sea. This is also the strategy that Chongzhou should choose.

Ge Cunxin pushed open the door and walked over, his armor covered with snowflakes, pushed the door into the house, and let the fire melt immediately.

"It's snowing outside?" Lin Fu asked in surprise, looking at the snowflakes on Ge Cunxin's armor.

"Well, it's snowing," Ge Cunxin said as he took off his cloak, "It's a pity to go to sea a day earlier, otherwise there will be some troubles. The news came back from the north that Janggen had just defeated Goryeo's navy in Seogwipo, and was in the process of going to sea. Lead the troops back. We will have to wait until Changgen returns to find out what the outcome of the battle will be. In addition, as expected, the pirates who participated in the siege of Jeju Saigang yesterday did indeed have pirate forces bought by the Koreans. However, they did not catch the big fish. Whether there are other transactions, it is unclear at the moment..."

Lin Fu stood up, pushed open the door and the wooden window, and a cold wind rushed in, licking his neck and getting goosebumps. There were torches around the school grounds in front of the building, and the snow was quite heavy.

Thinking of one incident, Lin Fu asked Ge Cunxin, "Is Changgen the same as Cunxiong, who hasn't remarried yet?"

"Yes," Ge Cunxin asked in surprise, "Why did your lord bring this up?"

In order to oppose the government, the Ge family put their heads on their trousers belts. The wife of Ge Cunxiong and Ge Changgen were all tortured and killed by the government.

Zhou Pu sat on the side and poked the brazier, and said with a smile: "Your Excellency has promised you a Danluo daughter-in-law for your Ge family, why don't you kowtow and thank you?"

"Ah!" Ge Cunxin didn't understand why he mentioned this matter.

"Li Jian sent four girls, all of whom are daughters of big Danluo families," Lin Fu said. "Miss Song means to get married, but we can't just fool others. Let's ask your opinion first."

"How can this be possible? This is what Li Jian dedicated to you!" Ge Cunxin said.

"The signs of the participation of the luxury family are obvious. Chongzhou has no way to station many troops here. It is a feasible strategy to borrow or support the Li family. I want four spoiled girls to do something, but I think the inner house is not lively enough. ?" Lin Fu said with a smile, "Do you feel wronged, wait for Changgen to come back, and then ask him what he means!"

"It's not his turn to talk about this," Ge Cunxin took over as the eldest son without authorization, and said, "I will thank the lord on his behalf."

Lin Fu asked Song Jia, "Who sent the four girls here?"

"Princess Danluo, accompanied by Zhou Lizheng's wife, is still waiting in the west..." Song Jia said.

Lin Fu sighed slightly. Although Danluo is called a country, its national strength is small. If it is another country, even if it has the power to subjugate the country, there is no need for the princess to come out and do this kind of activity? He said to Song Jia, "It's not convenient for me to come forward. You can do it properly and pick someone with a good background..." In this marriage, appearance is the second most important, and background is the most important, so it doesn't count as giving up the Ge family.

Ge Cunxin also saluted Song Jia: "Trouble Miss Song!"

****************

It was snowing overnight, and Ge Changgen didn't return until dawn broke.

The remnants of the Goryeo Navy in Seogwipo consisted of only twenty warships and more than 400 people.

In Goryeo, the captain of the three-jang is a large warship. Ge Changgen led his troops to attack the past, and there were five warships of more than ten meters in length. The navy soldiers were twice as many as the remnants of the Goryeo navy in Seogwipo. Ge Changgen was more familiar with the terrain of Seogwipo than the Goryeo navy. There is not much suspense in such a war.

On the way back, however, a Jiyun-class warship was pushed by the wind and waves, hit the reef, broke a big hole, and almost sank, becoming the biggest loss in the raid.

Jeju Saiwu Port already has the ability to repair ships, so there is no need to worry about the loss of water camps.

The wind and snow on the island continued, and it was getting more and more intense. The wind and waves at sea were also big, and it was impossible to use troops on land and water. The situation on Danluo Island suddenly returned to its surface calm. The situation behind the scenes will never be calm.

Lin Bie fell asleep at the break of dawn, opened his eyes, it was already bright, and he heard the light walking outside the door, knowing that Song Jia was outside, he sat up. Song Jia listened to the creaking of the bed. Knowing that Lin Fu woke up, she pushed the door and came in.

"The marriage is done," Song Jia said. "She is the youngest daughter of the Prime Minister's family. She has a good personality and appearance. Ge Xiaowei is also very satisfied. It seems that he has met before. , I want to get a daughter-in-law for my youngest son..."

The Danluo State System followed the example of the Central Plains, and below the monarch, officials such as the state minister and Jiuqing were all in one fell swoop. Although the sparrow is small, it has all the five internal organs. It's just that there are only more than 30,000 people in Dingkou, only one-tenth of the county of Chongzhou. As a monarchy, it is too small.

"Zhou Guitang wants to take root in Danluo, that's fine," Lin Fu said. "You promise Zhou Guitang's home."

Lin Bie reached out and picked up the clothes on the bedside table and put them on. He caught a glimpse of a woman outside the door and asked suspiciously, "Who is outside?"

"Among the four girls, two have gone missing. There is also a pair of little sisters, girls from Guangluqing's family. Guangluqing was killed by the Koreans in Xianlupu with the crown prince Li Gong, and there is nothing at home. There is a son who is still very young, and there is only one orphan and a widowed mother. There is no suitable family for these little sisters for a while. One is called Zuo Lan and the other is called Zuo Yan. ~www.mtlnovel.com~ Maybe it will be scrambled by the rich and famous. Seeing it is pitiful, I advocated without authorization and stayed." Song Jia glanced at Lin Bie's face and replied, "Is there two people missing by my side? ?"

Lin Fu glanced at Song Jia and asked, "Is it wrong?"

Four girls, two got married, and two stayed as maids. The gap was huge. In this world, "do not suffer from widowhood, and suffer from inequity." An uneven bowl of water, causing resentment, is actually a bad thing.

"But the orphans and widows are begging me. If you don't think it's appropriate, then send them back." Song Jia said.

"Please don't drive us back..." The two girls at the door listened to what was said inside, walked in and ran on the cold ground and kowtowed.

The two girls can't speak the official words accurately, but they can understand them clearly. The two girls were lying on the ground, and Lin Fu couldn't see their faces clearly. He didn't want to refute Song Jia's face.

The two girls raised their heads, Lin Bie looked at them, but felt that the two girls' faces were really beautiful, their complexion was creamy, delicate and snow-white, and he secretly said: Koreans have beautiful embryos without plastic surgery? The younger one was thirteen or fourteen years old, and his face was still childish. If the older one was a little more mature, he would have thought they were twin sisters, and he didn't know which was Zuo Lan and which was Zuo Yan. He waved them to step back first.

Lin Fie understood why Song Jia wanted to keep the two girls without authorization. The owner of the Dan Luo Zuo clan had just died, and the youngest son was still young, so there was no one else who could support the family business. The two girls went back, and their fate was indeed not much better. Song Jia may have felt pity; for Zuo, the two women who stayed as maids were undoubtedly the thick thighs that were held here.
