Rebirth of the Four Seas Emperor

There are now six provinces in Daxia, including Yunnan, Sichuan, Guizhou, Lianghu, and Gansu.

The army of King Tan of Yunnan was purging the forces of Shisi who disobeyed orders.

Sichuan, Guizhou, and Hunan were affected by the rebellion of Shi Si Yang Yinglong.

Hubei faced Gao Xiaosong's second attack, while Gansu was in turmoil because King Su proclaimed himself emperor.

Although King Su is of the bloodline of Emperor Gaozu, he is not the heir of the former emperor Ji Honghe. His self-proclaimed emperor is an outright rebellion, which has aroused dissatisfaction among many local and surrounding forces.

It's just that the imperial court's control over local areas is too weak now, resulting in local areas having to fight on their own.

Even though Gansu is an important area with nine borders and is heavily guarded by troops, because there is no unified command and dispatch, it is unable to concentrate its forces to quickly put down the rebellion, resulting in increasingly serious unrest.

Therefore, almost half of Great Xia was caught in the flames of war, and many people affected by the war could only become refugees.

Guangdong has become the first choice for refugees across the country to flee.

Bao'an County is a paradise in Guangdong, and tens of thousands of refugees want to enter Bao'an County every day.

However, after experiencing that assassination incident, Hou Yao also became wary of recruiting refugees.

The review system has also become more stringent. Although it can accept hundreds of new refugees every day, it is simply a drop in the bucket for the increasingly large refugee base.

At this time, Hou Yao had to seriously consider the proposal of Ji Wenjun to open a government office and build a government by the chief envoys of the four provinces.

At present, he still has many concerns about this. The first is the insufficient military strength of the Baoan Army.

The Bao'an Army has not been expanded, and the land and sea armies only have 3 troops at full capacity. These troops are enough to defend Bao'an County, but they are stretched to defend four provinces.

Secondly, compared to domestic turmoil, he felt that it was more important to immigrate to North America and support the Tianwu Gang in establishing a huge empire in North America.

Once Ji Wenjun opens a government office, he will definitely devote most of his energy to the government affairs of the four provinces. For this reason, it will delay the Tianwu Gang's immigration plan, which is not worth the gain.

As for Ji Wenjun himself, he was not without worries. The princess opened a yamen because of differences in the ancestral system. In addition, he knew that his good brother was jealous, and he was afraid that this might create a estrangement between the brother and sister.

In addition, Hou Yao's noncommittal attitude also made her uneasy and did not dare to let go.

Based on Ji Wenjun's popular reputation at this time, as long as she nods, she will definitely be supported by the people, and there will definitely be no objection.

But just before the two people who could make the final decision on whether to open the yamen had thought clearly about what to do, the news spread out somehow.

For a time, the streets and alleys in Baoan County were talking about this matter.

In just two days, it developed to the point where tens of thousands of people petitioned.

When Hou Yao saw this situation, he knew that he couldn't delay it, so he could only agree to open an office and build a mansion.

In early July, after a round of expansion, the original Princess Residence was officially renamed the Governor's Mansion of the Four Provinces.

The Baoan Army expanded and recruited [-] new troops.

As for the Navy, they directly reorganized 2 people from the Tianwu Gang who were unwilling to immigrate.

In late July, He Jinghui and Hou Tianzong officially set off for North America with the first batch of 3 elite troops.

Shekou Pier.

Hou Tianzong stood on the bow of the boat and looked at Bao'an County who was about to leave with emotion: "Pig-killer, life in Bao'an County is really comfortable. If we could live like this back then, we wouldn't even be beaten to death. You know how to go to sea."

He Jinghui curled his lips: "Bao'an County has become a paradise on earth after the water and electricity were connected. I said that little monkey of yours is a monster. He can even grow crops a hundred times better than others. The people of this county are almost treated like pigs by him." I don’t know where he got all these wonderful ideas. The new electric fan that came out two days ago is really ingenious. If I hadn’t promised to go to North America to found a country, I would be really reluctant to leave. I really want to Let’s see what new things he can come up with.”

The reins of the boat were loosened, and the lucky boat gradually sailed away from the coast. Hou Tianzong waved to Hou Yao and others who were seeing him off at the shore, indicating that they could go back.

"Pig-killer, after we win the territory, we must build a city in North America that is not inferior to Bao'an. Otherwise, we will be too embarrassed. What we have worked hard for a lifetime is not what others have achieved in a few years of development." Gao, your life is really in vain."

He Jinghui nodded heavily: "Of course. The little monkey said that corn and sweet potatoes are crops in North America. I don't believe that a paradise can't be built in such a unique place. But, nerd, what about running water and power generation? Have you really learned everything about the station? Are such ingenious things really so easy to learn?"

Hou Tianzong smiled and shook his head: "It's not difficult for those who know it, but it's not difficult for those who know it. Although I don't have the ability to discover such strange things from scratch, I still have the ability to follow the instructions. In fact, the principles of these two things are the same. It's extremely simple, and it was just not noticed before. Yao'er is right about one thing. The imperial court's exclusive respect for Confucianism has indeed restricted the development of technology. If technology could be encouraged, the people would have lived a life of ample food and clothing. "

He Jinghui said: "I don't understand these things, but I simply think that the development of firearms is a bit too advanced, and I'm afraid it may not be a good thing. In a few decades, no one will be willing to work hard to practice kung fu. ”

Hou Tianzong nodded in agreement: "Yes, it is indeed a pity that no one practices martial arts, but it is not necessarily a good thing that more people use martial arts to violate the ban. In the future, everyone will no longer know how to martial arts, and there may be fewer fights."

He Jinghui sighed: "I understand this. It's a pity that no one practices kung fu. It's all passed down from our ancestors. What a pity it would be if it were lost in the hands of our generation? Forget it, don't talk about this, it doesn't matter. We don’t know how many years it will take, but let’s build the country first.”

Hou Tianzong smiled slightly: "Yes, let's build the empire first, and then talk about other things. Let's go, expedition to North America, let's have a great time..."

……

As soon as she returned to the city, Yu Xiuer suddenly felt a pain in her stomach.

"Ms. sir..., sir, my stomach hurts so much, but... I might be giving birth."

Hou Yao said nervously:

"Quickly... quickly transfer to the hospital."

Everyone hurriedly turned around and headed to Bao'an Hospital.

The guards pedaled the eight-person bicycle into the air and rushed towards the hospital like lightning.

Along the way, Yu Xiuer was in excruciating pain. Hou Yao held her hand heartbrokenly: "Xiuer, please bear with me. We will be at the hospital soon."

Yu Xiuer was out of breath from the pain: "It hurts...it hurts me to death...it hurts..."

"Just be patient, we'll be there soon."

At the entrance of the hospital, the guards who had arrived early notified the director He Zhiyuan. He and Po Wen were already waiting at the entrance, preparing to deliver the baby to the mistress Yu Xiuer.

As soon as he arrived at the hospital, Hou Yao jumped out of the car impatiently and shouted: "Xiao He, hurry up..., Xiu'er is about to give birth, what should I do, what should I do...?"

He Zhiyuan and Wen Po came forward together: "Sir, don't be anxious, let the students take a look first."

After saying that, he got into the carport, checked Yu Xiu'er's condition, touched her belly a few times and then said: "Don't worry, sir, the mistress's fetal position is very good, there should be no serious problems, we just need to wait for Po Wen to deliver the baby." ."

Hou Yao nodded: "Okay, then hurry up... hurry up..."

The nurses at the hospital here have already lifted Yu Xiuer onto the hospital bed and pushed her into the delivery room.

Seeing Hou Yao's anxious look, Ji Wenjun felt unhappy in every way.

When she gave birth, she endured everything on her own. Now that she saw Hou Yao being so nervous, Yu Xiuer couldn't help but irritate her: "It's just giving birth to a child. What can happen? Why are you so nervous?"

Hou Yao subconsciously retorted: "Xiu'er's first time giving birth to a child is very risky. It's not like you should say less sarcastic words when you are born."

Ji Wenjun's expression changed immediately, and then he was stunned for a long time without saying anything.

Here Hou Yao just looked at the door of the delivery room nervously, completely unaware of Ji Wenjun's emotional changes at this time.

Ji Wenjun became angrier as he waited. After waiting for another moment, seeing that Hou Yao never looked at her again, he turned around angrily and left the delivery room alone.

He walked to the door of the hospital and stood there for a long time, wanting to see when Hou Yao would chase him out.

But after waiting for a long time, Hou Yao was not seen, so he was frustrated and left alone.

At this time, whether it was Hou Yao, Shen Yuluoyan or others, their thoughts were all on Yu Xiuer, and no one paid attention to Ji Wenjun's emotions at all.

It was more difficult for Yu Xiuer to give birth, and it took more than an hour to successfully deliver the baby.

Moreover, a blood vessel was squeezed during the delivery process, causing Yu Xiuer to lose excessive blood.

If Bao'an Hospital had not developed the prototype of a modern hospital, Yu Xiuer's life might have been in danger in the past in situations like this.

We have to admit that modern hospitals still have strong expertise in surgical treatment.

Yu Xiuer gave birth to a baby girl safely, and Hou Yao named her Jingjing.

After everything settled, Hou Yao discovered that Ji Wenjun was missing.

Immediately, they hurriedly sent people to search for her. After searching for a long time, they found that she had returned to the four provincial council offices to handle official business.

Hou Yao didn't think much about it. He was still immersed in the joy of getting the little cotton-padded jacket.

After returning to the Yamen, Ji Wenjun did not make any noise with Hou Yao as before, and everything was as peaceful as usual.

It's just that no one noticed a subtle change. Ji Wenjun, who used to leave official duties to Shen Yuluoyan without even looking at them, now has to go through every official task first, and only insignificant matters will be completely handed over to Shen Yuluoyan. , important official affairs are now handled by her personally.

Yu Xiuer was in confinement, and Hou Yao served her every day.

It was already two months after she was born, and then he remembered that he had neglected the princess too much recently.

On this day, Hou Yao cleaned himself well and sprayed some perfume.

He excitedly ran to the princess's boudoir, intending to warm her up, but it all came to nothing.

"Xiaoxia, where is Her Royal Highness the Princess? Why don't you rest in the room so late?"

Xiaoxia, the maid at the door, said: "My lord, your highness has been busy with official duties recently and has been coming back relatively late. He usually doesn't come back until midnight to go to bed. If your lord is in a hurry, you can go to the public room to find your highness."

Hou Yao was very surprised, but after thinking about it carefully, he realized that this might not be a good thing. Ji Wenjun had outstanding talents, and it was a good thing to be able to focus on business.

"Forget it, I'll just wait in the room...".
