Chapter 192: Son and Daughter
When Qin Hao returned to the inner house, Xiao Ling'er was basking in the sun with her brothers and sisters in the newly built sunroom with her mother.
Li Xiangjun, Bian Saisai, and Bai Ling'er added a boy and two girls to Qin Hao's family, allowing Qin Hao, who had just turned 20, to experience a joy he had never experienced in his previous life.
In order to ensure the healthy growth of his babies, Qin Hao specially ordered people to build this sunroom out of glass for his wife and children in his inner house. He also ordered people to put some collected flowers, plants and trees in the room, turning the sun room into a greenhouse for these babies to grow up happily.
The house, which uses thin copper bars as a skeleton and is inlaid with colored glass in the middle, is about the size of five bays. Under the bright sunshine, it exudes a dreamy light, a bit like a princess's sunny castle.
The wife and children can let the little babies bask in the sun in such an environment with flowers and plants in sight without having to worry about being blown by the wind.
While teasing her younger brother and sister who were lying in a cradle made of bamboo wrapped with gold wire, Little Bai Ling heard the footsteps, looked up, and immediately screamed in surprise.
"Daddy!" Little Bai Ling threw herself into Qin Hao's arms like a spring swallow.
"hug!"
Behind Xiao Bai Ling, like a clumsy little bear, Xiao Qin Yu opened his arms in unclear words and asked his father to hug him.
Behind him, Qin Hao's other daughter, who was also dressed like a flower, Xiao Xiangjun, whom Li Xiangjun gave birth to for Qin Hao, also opened her delicate arms and asked her father to hug her.
Qin Hao had a headache when he saw these three children. No wonder people always said that this child was the little devil. Just hugging him took a lot of effort.
After Qin Hao finished hugging them one by one, Bai Ling'er, who had a scarf wrapped around her head, gently called her children back, "Come here, don't bother me anymore!"
She put down the pile of paper in her hand, rubbed her cheeks, ordered the maid to make tea and bring snacks to Qin Hao, and asked her man with a smile, "Didn't you say you would go to the chemical factory in Keelung today to inspect their new technology?" ? Why did you come back so early? What happened? "
A few days ago, a chemical workshop published a report saying that they have figured out how to extract what adults call iodine from kelp, which can be added to table salt to effectively alleviate the big neck disease in the Ming Dynasty. This is due to the lack of iodine. Typical diseases. Similarly, iodine can also react with silver to form a silver mirror effect, making the mirror surface smoother.
I originally wanted to go out this morning, but I didn't want to be disturbed by a piece of news and have to return halfway!
"What are you holding?" He did not answer his wife's question directly. On the contrary, he asked Bai Ling'er in return.
Qin Hao was very interested in the pile of paper in his wife's hand, and it seemed that he could make a fuss about it.
"Oh! Isn't this a 100-day celebration for these three little guys? The people below have drawn up a list of guests to be invited by relatives and friends. Let me check it to see if there are any omissions."
Qin Hao took the paper in Bai Ling'er's hand that was filled with names and family relationships. After flipping through a few pages, he stretched out his hand and said, "Pen!"
Li Xiangjun, who was taking care of his little daughter, gently handed a red vermilion pen to Qin Hao's hand with a wink.
"This group of people from Annan, please don't be among the guests we invite!"
Qin Hao's pen tip casually scratched a few times on the paper, crossing out more than a dozen names of Annan's names from the invitation.
"Put them into the units directly under the Keelung Army!"
"Is this appropriate? People are here to send gifts." Bai Ling'er asked worriedly. Although she didn't know much about the outside world, she was very clear about the accounts of relatives and friends. In the heart.
King Annan sent a lot of good things this time, including 100 taels of gold, 1,000 taels of platinum, 200 pairs of buffalo horns, 100 mink skins, 100 deer skins, 1,000 bags of tea, 400 otter skins, and 300 green rat skins. 30 bushels of pepper, 26 waist knives, 20 smooth knives, 100 kilograms of hematoxylin, 1,000 rolls of large paper, 1,500 rolls of small paper, 4 five-claw dragon mats, 40 flower mats, 200 white ramie cloth, 2,000 cotton silk , 400 pieces of linen, 10,000 pieces of linen, 4,000 pieces of cloth, and 10,000 bags of rice.
After seeing the list, Qin Hao was slightly shocked. This Annan background was still good, but there was a reason why he could send these.
"I just received an urgent report from the front line that Annan could not withstand the attack of King Yangon and asked us to surrender. King Annan said that as long as he could save his family's life, he was willing to become a general of our Keelung Army and annex the entire territory. Natukilong.”
"Oh! This is a good thing! Does it mean that our Keelung Army is expanding its territory again?!" Bai Ling'er was a little happy, after all, who would dislike the size of his garden.
"It can't be wrong! Moreover, Annan has a good geographical location and is close to the sea. There are many good sailors among the natives in the country. In the future, sailors can be recruited from there to work in the navy and fleet to strengthen Keelung. The strength of the navy.”
"In this way, the world's heroes will be among my heroes!"
Facing Qin Hao's bold words, Bai Ling'er couldn't help but feel a little obsessed. Her husband was always so capable!
When Qin Hao intentionally transported weapons and equipment, the entire Anandong Peninsula was in chaos. Everyone thought they had the strength to unify the world.
King Yangon was a major overlord in this troubled world. Under his aggressive offensive, King Annan found it difficult to resist.
At this time, the ministers in the country suggested to him that the King of Yangon wanted both the territory and people of Annan and our lives and property. We should simply offer our territory and people to the Keelung Army, find a big tree to hug, and ask the Keelung Army to preserve our property and lives in exchange for a position and continue to enjoy wealth and honor. Isn’t it wonderful!
So, at the unanimous request of the Annan Dynasty from the king to the ministers, it announced its allegiance to the Keelung Army. When the King of Yangon, Sheru Mamtim, heard the news and saw that the Keelung Army flags were hung on the city walls of various towns in front, he did not dare to act rashly and hurriedly ordered the generals leading the troops in the front to retreat.
^.^,
"The petition they requested to surrender has been sent to Keelung by the Spanish express ship. The petition says that as long as we protect their lives and property, they are willing to live in any place designated by the Keelung Army. If they can be given a position and receive a salary, it would be even better!"
Bai Ling'er felt that their request was a little low, and thought that she might as well give more, but she was a little puzzled that they asked the Spaniards to send the petition, "They asked to surrender, why did the petition come from the Spaniards?"
"This question is a long story." After taking a sip of tea, Qin Hao's mind was slightly settled.
"Annan has always been a good place for good sailors. It has close ties with Spanish pirates. Many sailors on Spanish ships are from Annam! There is a lot of friendship between the two. So the Spanish sent this memorial to Keelung by speedboat!"
"I see!" Bai Ling'er nodded as if she understood, and asked, "Then my husband, have you agreed to their request?"
"Yes!" If Qin Hao still doesn't agree to such a request from the King of Annan, then Juebi must have been kicked in the head by a donkey.
"In this case, will the King of Yangon give up? Annan is a piece of fat meat that they can easily get in their eyes! Now that the cooked duck has flown away, will they admit it?" Bian Saisai, holding little Qin Yu, walked out from the depths of the flowers.
"This is the general trend, he can't disagree. Our Keelung Army's firearms are not vegetarian. If you don't want to be confiscated, you have to be obedient!"
Now Keelung is as vast as Fusang in the north and Temasek in the south. It has a vast territory and abundant military equipment. Now it can beat anyone it wants, without any ambiguity.
"Then, why is my husband still a little unhappy?" After coaxing Xiao Xiangjun to sleep, Li Xiangjun hurried to Qin Hao's side. The milky fragrance on her body mixed with her own body fragrance, becoming more and more charming in the midday sun.
Qin Hao looked at Li Xiangjun's figure, which became more and more plump after giving birth, with some obsession, and sighed!
She still saw it. Qin Hao didn't want to bring his work emotions home. Unfortunately, the three women at home were powerful. They could find something as soon as there was a little clue.
