Chapter 724: Two Women's Minds
Although the war in Liaodong is about to break out, both the Ming and the Qing dynasties are still preparing in an orderly manner. After all, this is a decisive battle of tens of thousands of troops.
For the Ming Dynasty, if it is defeated, Sun Chengzong's efforts in Liaodong for several years will be destroyed, and the Jiangning army will also be severely damaged, and the Ming Dynasty will return to the defensive several years ago.
For the Qing Dynasty, this battle is even more important. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is related to life and death. Once defeated, Nurhaci and his sons' efforts for decades will be in vain, and the entire Qing Dynasty will no longer exist.
The Manchus will not forget how they slaughtered Liaodong, which originally had more than two million Han people, to only hundreds of thousands. Once the Ming Dynasty wins, let alone the Qing Dynasty, the entire Manchus will probably become history.
Although Xiamen is thousands of miles away from Liaodong, the people here still feel the atmosphere of a war.
Teams of sergeants began to step up their training, and warships and cargo ships began to gather in Xiamen. Large trucks loaded with supplies began to sail to the dock, and the sergeants and porters who had been waiting at the dock began to transport these supplies onto the cargo ship.
Yang Feng and his generals were also very busy, especially Yang Feng, who had to deal with every day suddenly increased, and countless information and official documents were sent to his desk like flowing water.
After reviewing the last document, Yang Feng stretched out his waist. He picked up the tea next to him and took a sip. He found that the tea had turned cold. He put the tea back on the desk and shouted.
"Come!"
With the sound of footsteps, a maid with bright eyes and white teeth and covered with a light green gauze dress quickly walked in and said in a crisp voice after reaching Yang Feng's blessing.
"Mr. Marquis, what are your instructions?"
Yang Feng pointed to the teacup, hesitated for a moment and said, "You...you are Cai'er, let's change a cup of hot tea for me."
"yes!"
The maid took a few steps forward and picked up the teacup and took a few steps back: "I will change the tea for you now, and... I am Yue'er."
"Uh... OK, okay, I get it." Yang Feng coughed lightly, feeling a little embarrassed. He had been in contact with the twin sisters for a short time, and the two looked exactly the same, so it was really hard to tell.
Soon, Yue'er brought a cup of hot tea. Yang Feng took a sip and asked, "Where is Milia and Kanaya, I remember that they should be on duty today."
Yue'er replied obediently: "Zhezhe and Madame Bumubutai have been a little unhappy these two days, so today, Madame Tuo Niang and Madame Shinniang accompanied Hai Lanzhu, Zhezhe and Madame Bumubutai and several ladies went to Sanhe Temple outside the city to burn incense, and Milia and Kanaya also went to serve him."
"They aren't happy?"
Yang Feng was stunned when he heard this. Then he remembered that since he learned that the Jiangning Army was going to expedition to Liaodong again, Zhezhe and Da Yuer's behavior became a little abnormal. They had not come to accompany him for several nights, but they had been very busy these days and had not noticed the abnormality of the two girls.
He sighed lightly, but Yang Feng didn't know what to say.
In fact, he understood the mood of the two daughters Da Yuer and Zhezhe. As they followed Yang Feng over time, after they understood the strength of the Jiangning Army, they also had a premonition that their former husbands would be in danger when the Jiangning Army went to Liaodong this time.
Although they have made up their minds to break up with everything in the past since they decided to follow Yang Feng to the Ming Dynasty and start a new life, some things are not something that can be given up just by giving up.
Although the two girls felt uncomfortable, they couldn't tell Yang Feng about this kind of thing.
They can't say that, husband, can you let Huang Taiji go because of our ex-husband?
They were depressed and could only compete with themselves. Fortunately, Zheng Tuoniang and Hai Lanzhu discovered the two girls' concerns in time, so they took them to the temple outside the city to burn incense and relax.
After a while, Yang Feng waved his hand, "Forget it, just go, go and relax."
It was not until the evening that Hai Lanzhu and his group returned. During dinner, Yang Feng specifically said that he would rest with Zhezhe and Da Yuer tonight, so the two girls would naturally not object.
That night, Yang Feng rested in Zhezhe and Da Yuer's room.
After a few clouds and rains, the two women were exhausted and could hardly move a finger in Yang Feng's arms.
Yang Feng kissed the two girls on the cheeks and asked softly: "You are a little unhappy these two days. Is it because I am going to go to Liaodong?"
Da Yuer, who has always been straightforward, was silent for a moment before saying, "My husband wants to fight for the country. This is a serious matter. We women shouldn't say much, but Bumubutai and I were with the same wife... after all, we had a fight with Huang Taiji and Huang. When we thought of this, my aunt and I felt a little... a little uncomfortable.
When my sister and Tuo Niang saw that my aunt and I had something to do, they took me and my aunt to relax outside the city.”
Speaking of this, Da Yuer secretly looked at Yang Feng's face and found that there was no obvious sign of being angry. She said with some concern: "Husband, you won't be unhappy about this."
“That’s not.”
Yang Feng shook his head.
"I can understand your feelings, but this is a national event after all. From another perspective, if the weak today is my Ming Dynasty, if Huang Taiji led the Eight Banners Army of the Qing Dynasty to the Central Plains, would he show mercy to me because of yours?
But don't worry, if you allow it, I can go to the battle this time..."
"No need for husband."
Zhezhe stretched out his slender jade hand.
"You are so relieved, since Bumubutai and I chose to follow us back then, we have decided to completely break up with the past, and I don't want our relationship with Bumubutai to affect you.
There is no sight on the battlefield. If the national affairs are delayed because of our reasons and it will affect your future, Bumubuteke and I will become sinners."
"Don't worry."
Yang Feng smiled.
"This matter will not affect me. And I can also tell you that Huang Taiji has not been in good health in the past two years. According to our spies lurking in Shengjing, Huang Taiji's health has become worse and worse in recent years. He often has nosebleeds from time to time, and in severe cases, he may even faint. It is estimated that he has been alive for a few years."
"What?"
Zhezhe and Da Yuer were shocked. Although they had already broken up between Huang Taiji, they could not help but feel a little shocked and sad when they heard that their former husband had not been alive for a few years.
"Actually, it's nothing. It's probably because of long-term obesity... forget it, let's not talk about it."
Yang Feng shook his head helplessly. Huang Taiji's disease is just a typical hypertension caused by obesity, which induces coronary heart disease. This disease is quite difficult even in later generations, not to mention this era.
