Chapter 333

Zhao Peng handed over the latest "Da Ming Daily" and pointed to the newspaper and said: "My little lady, to improve the status of women, she has written in black and white in Da Ming Daily. Women can join the work. His Majesty also restored the ancestral system of the Hongwu period and encouraged widows to remarry. The little lady is only twenty years old and has no children. Can she live alone to die in her old age?"

The Donglin Party did not object to the promotion of women entering factories and improving the status of some women. Because the Donglin Party, which uses the textile industry as its main profit method, is actually willing to wave to female workers. After all, the salary of female workers is lower than that of male workers, and strong men can save money on cannons and sea trade and earn more money.

The Donglin Party only opposes the improvement of the status of women who have no jobs and are housewives at home. Because this is related to themselves, the Donglin Party is rich, and no woman in their family is supported by men. Naturally, they cannot make the women in their family make a fuss. Therefore, the Donglin Party adopted double standards for the emperor's proposal to improve the status of women. Women who support their families can improve their status, but housewives should not think about it.

In fact, Zhao Peng still agrees with these views of the Donglin Party, after all, economy determines status. Although Zhao Peng advocates improving the status of women, it is only when women have their own economic strength to have corresponding status. As for those women who have extreme feminist rights in later generations who do not want to give but want status, and who always "warns" their children, Zhao Peng is actually very disgusted.

It is reasonable to make a lot of contributions to gain a lot of status. Similarly, the extreme patriarchal rights that are lazi and lazy to be raised by women are also disgusting.

If a person has no contribution to the country and society, but lives in this world, it is simply a waste of the earth's resources.

Just like those thugs, there have been such a group of people since the early days, and these people are all debris of society. However, those thugs have existed since the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. There are many such people in "Water Margin". A group of thugs subdued by Lu Zhishen and Niu Er killed by Yang Zhi all belong to this type of people.

Although this phenomenon cannot be completely eradicated even in the future, what Zhao Peng considered was that as much as he could be cracked down, it was necessary to crack down on gangsters and eliminate evil at the right time, arrest all the thugs and sent them to the mine for forced labor.

Hearing that Zhao Peng wanted to remarry himself, Shen Yunying replied with a red face: "Thank you for your care of the little woman. If you can meet a man who likes her and does not dislike the little woman, I will naturally be willing to serve him for the rest of my life. But how many men in the world are willing to marry a little widow? Most of them are ill-hearted and abandoned. How dare the little woman promise to her? "

Zhao Peng asked again tentatively: "Can you be willing to follow me back to Jiangnan?"

Shen Yunying shook her head: "The Marquis is the prince-in-law. Even if the young woman follows the Marquis, she can only be a young man. Although the young woman is a little widow, she is still a serious woman. How can she be a young man for others?"

It was not so easy to be a concubine back then. The status of a concubine was only a little higher than that of a maid. The wife had the power to kill the concubine. The son born by the concubine had no status at home and did not even have the right to inherit. The concubine could have a place at home, which was completely favored by the head of the family. Once the head of the family passed away, if the housewife was a little more jealous, she would sell the concubine. Some housewifes were poisonous women, and even beat the concubine to death directly, and they would be beaten to death in vain. At most, some money would be paid to the concubine's family.

Therefore, generally speaking, those who are concubines are either favored maids who are promoted to be concubines or brothel women. Therefore, in Shen Yunying's mind, rather than being concubines, it is better to be widows for her dead husband for life.

Since Chen Yunying was unwilling, Zhao Peng couldn't force anything, so he stood up and said goodbye: "Miss Chen, I am leaving. I will board the ship early tomorrow morning. I don't know when I will meet again today."

Chen Yunying also stood up and said to Zhao Pengying's blessing: "I wish you a good trip to the marquis."

After saying that, she turned her head, but her eyes were filled with crystal tears.

The next morning, Zhao Peng went to the dock and boarded the Clippers of Princess Kunxing. Just as the Clippers were pulled out and set sail, he found a young man in white helmet and white armor squeezed into the crowd of people seeing him and watched from him.

The Princess Kunxing Clippers sailed down and set sail. After leaving the dock, sails rose. The figure on the dock gradually shrank, and the young general with white helmet and white armor gradually disappeared from Zhao Peng's vision.

The flying scissors raised the sails and sailed towards the Korean waters where the Zheng family navy was located. Because according to the letter sent by the Zheng family flying pigeon, the Japanese were ready, so Zhao Peng decided to watch the Japanese take down Jeju Island first and then return to Jiangnan.

Over the past month, the Zheng family's navy and the Laideng Navy have guarded the Han River estuary like gate gods. The Korean navy huddled in the Han River did not even dare to bubble. As long as they dared to leave the Han River estuary, they would be immediately annihilated. There was no chance to smuggle the sea and land in Jiaodong. The sea control power was firmly in the hands of the Ming Dynasty.

Ganghua Island has fallen into the hands of Masao Takawa and others. For this important island at the mouth of the Han River, the Korean Kingdom naturally felt like a thorn on its back. The Korean navy launched several sneak attacks, attempting to smuggle a group of land troops on Ganghua Island and regain the island. As a result, they were defeated by the Ming Navy and the Japanese samurai on the land.

To be honest, the knots were definitely afraid of being beaten by the Japanese. When the knots met the Japanese, they had a natural phobia. When they heard the word "Japanese", the knots became weak and they couldn't even stand straight.

Although the Qing Eight Banners Army stationed near Seoul was not inferior to the Japanese on land combat power, they had to have a way to land. If they couldn't get on the shore, everything would be useless. In order to help and help regain Jianghua Island, the Eight Banners Army took the Bangzi Navy's ship to sea several times, but were sunk by the Ming army, and thousands of people were lost in vain. After that, they simply refused the Bangzi's request and refused to go to sea.

The sea control power is firmly in the hands of the Ming Dynasty, and the Jiaodong Peninsula is very safe. At this time, not only is the Jiaodong Peninsula safe, but the Ming army can also seize Jeju Island at any time.

The Kunxing Princess is getting closer and closer to the Han River Estuary. Zhao Peng saw various warships of the Zheng Family Navy and the Laiden Navy cruising in the nearby waters. In addition to the Chinese warships, he also saw several Japanese Anzhai ships.

Judging from the appearance alone, Zhao Peng cannot tell the difference between Japanese Anzhai ship and Korean slab boat. The two ships look very similar from the appearance. Both have relatively high superstructures on the hull, with shooting holes on the superstructure. There is also a tower at the highest point on the top deck of the superstructure, which is where the commander of the entire ship is riding.

The two types of ships look very similar, but the Korean slab boats are flatbeds, while the Japanese slab boats are pointed-bottom boats, so the slab boats are far more naval-bottom boats outside the sea than the slab boats.

The Princess Kunxing entered the middle of the dense fleet on the sea, slowed down its speed and sailed slowly. At this moment, an Anzhai ship flying the banner of "Tianchuan" slowly leaned towards the Princess Kunxing.

The two ships were approaching, and Zhao Peng discovered that it was a very tall Anzhai ship, much higher than the upper deck of his Kunxing Princess, and Zheng Sen was standing on this Anzhai ship at this time.

The Kunxing Princess and the Anzhai Ship communicated in flag language, and then the two ships docked together. Although the tonnage of the Anzhai Ship is definitely not as large as that of the Kunxing Princess, the height of the ship is two stories higher than that of the Kunxing Princess. Of course, the length of the Anzhai Ship is not as good as the Captain of the Flying Shears.

The two ships leaned together and put down a net from the installation ship. Zhao Peng took four personal soldiers and climbed onto the net and climbed up the net to the Anzhai boat along the net.
