Chapter 1657 A century-old plan, education comes first
“This is the cotton armor we will wear in the future. It will be invulnerable to swords, bows and arrows, impervious to rain, undamaged by mold, and invulnerable to bullets. The sword is shining, the gun is flying, the wind is raining, and it is trustworthy."
"Did you hear that? We all have one. Everyone can wear a set of cotton armor. I'm excited just thinking about it."
"That's not exciting. We only have The armor wearing rate is 30% to 40%. I heard that only the imperial guards around the emperor can wear armor. No. Thinking that everyone in the Zhejiang Army can wear armor, I feel like I can beat five people without armor."
"Putting on cotton armor is equivalent to five or six more armors on the battlefield. Life, it’s not like one can defeat five. One with bare hands cannot defeat one with weapons. , it is common sense that a person wearing clothes cannot beat a person wearing armor. Even if we are not as skilled as others, we are not afraid of being stabbed by him first. If we have armor, he cannot hurt me, but we are just poor at craftsmanship. If you are stupid in martial arts, you can kill him even if you stab him in the back.”
All the soldiers of the Zhejiang Army were overjoyed with excitement and became more energetic in their drills. Not only were they not afraid of going to the battlefield, they were even looking forward to it. They were looking forward to wearing cotton armor and killing all directions, killing Japanese pirates with their heads rolling, being rewarded for their meritorious service, and honoring their ancestors. , married a village beauty, raised two children in one year, and reached the pinnacle of life.
"I pay my respects to Lord Zhu. The Governor has given orders. Zhao Wenhua, the imperial envoy from Jihai, arrived in Yangzhou yesterday and will arrive in Yingtian in the near future. Please arrange your military affairs and set off for Yingtian, waiting for the imperial envoy to arrive. "
A messenger with an order flag rode to the Zhejiang Army camp. After the briefing, he came to Zhu Pingan, knelt down on one knee, and presented a fire-lacquered official document with both hands, summarizing briefly. Zhang Jing's official order.
Zhao Wenhua is here!
When Zhu Ping'an heard the news, he couldn't help but twitch his lips. This is not good news!
Historically, Zhao Wenhua came to Jiangnan to worship the sea and stayed in Jiangnan for a year or two. Relying on the powerful Strict Party forces, he turned Jiangnan's officialdom into a mess and gave the Japanese pirates an opportunity to take advantage of it, making the Japanese troubles worse. Until Hu Zongxian came to power, Jiangnan Only then did the officialdom stabilize, and the great cause of the fierce Japanese pirates began to set sail.
Zhao Wenhua is a shit stick, addicted to food, but he also likes to get involved in the military, just like the micro-management masters of later generations.
Unfortunately, the Strict Party is now too powerful and powerful. This shit-stirring stick has the strong support of the Strict Party, so it cannot be thrown away, and it keeps breaking...
I can’t help but have a headache when I think of this.
However, everything depends on human effort, and everything is subject to change until the last moment. Moreover, there is a butterfly from the future flapping its wings.
Thinking of this, Zhu Pingan was full of fighting spirit again. He took the official document from the messenger and said with a smile, "Thank you for your hard work, please drink a cup of hot tea to warm yourself up."
After that, Zhu Pingan will Putting the official documents aside, he personally held the teapot and poured a cup of hot tea to the messenger.
"No, thank you for your kindness. I have to rush to inform other adults." The messenger declined politely.
"I know you are in a hurry, so this pot of tea is not hot and is just warm enough to drink. It won't be too late to set off after drinking it."
Zhu Ping'an smiled slightly and explained.
"Thank you for your sympathy."
The messenger was very moved when he heard this. He rarely met such an approachable and considerate big man in his life.
Running all the way, I was really thirsty. Gudong, gudong, a cup of warm oolong tea entered my stomach. It was like rain after a long dry spell. My whole body was moisturized. My thirst was gone and I felt warm all over. , full of strength again, resurrected with full blood.
While the messenger was drinking tea, Zhu Ping'an opened the official document and read it carefully. The content of the official document was to inform Zhao Wenhua of his imminent arrival, but in more detail, Zhao Wenhua's identity, the imperial envoy on his shoulders, and the arrival of Approximate time, arrival port, Yamen where to stay, range of officials who need to be present and waiting, etc.
After the messenger drank tea, he stood up and left. Zhu Ping'an knew that he had to go to others to communicate, so he did not stay.
Hu Zongxian is here.
Zhao Wenhua is coming too.
Jiangnan is becoming more and more lively, and the ups and downs and magnificent history are about to begin.
Haha, I’m a little excited.
Zhu Pingan called Liu Mu, Ruofeng and other battalion commanders, explained the drill matters, and encouraged them to drill rigorously, especially the fire gun drill, although the fire gun cannot be used by human hands One, but everyone must be able to use fire blunderbuss; then, Zhu Pingan called a few craftsmen to explain some matters about the cotton armor, and then took Liu Dadao and ten personal guards to Taohuaji Town .
Zhao Wenhua will not be able to arrive in Yingtian until at least tomorrow afternoon, so he still has time to accompany Sister Li today. Well, he also has time to educate his children in the evening
In a century-old plan, education comes first.
"Brother Zhu is back."
Li Shu was pleasantly surprised when she saw Zhu Pingan's arrival. Usually Zhu Pingan would not come back until dinner time, but today it was not dinner time yet.
"We are going to Yingtian early tomorrow morning. Zhao Wenhua, the imperial envoy of Jihai, is coming soon and summons all officials of fifth rank and above to pick him up." Zhu Pingan explained simply that this does not involve any secrets and there is no need to hide it. .
"Yingtian"
Li Shu's eyes lit up, but soon darkened again. Her body was not suitable for long distances, her belly was too big.
"I've finished my business and will be back soon." Zhu Ping'an comforted him.
"Okay." Li Shu's mood recovered.
"Let's go, it's still early. Let me take a walk with you. I heard that walking more is good for pregnant women."
Zhu Pingan took Li Shu's hand and supported Li Shu's waist, as if caring for the most precious porcelain in the world.
“Don’t be so careful, people will see it in broad daylight,” Li Shu said coquettishly with a blushing face.
"What are you afraid of? We are already an old couple."
Zhu Ping'an didn't take it seriously. This small scene is not worth mentioning in modern times. Kissing in the street is a bit normal. Unless.
"Shameless" Li Shu was irritated, but she seemed to find it helpful. She was supported by Zhu Ping'an for a walk in the yard.
The sun is about to set, and the evergreen flowers and trees planted in the yard are shining in the sun.
Zhu Ping'an supported Li Shu for a walk in the sunshine. The scene was very warm. The girls and old ladies in the yard who saw this scene were all stuffed with mouthfuls of dog food. Of course, they were all excited about this. Very willing.
“Oh, it’s so early in the morning, I’m so embarrassed, I’m getting goosebumps.”
The enchantress Ruo Nan came to Hua’er, and when she saw this scene, she couldn’t help but rub her arm. , shook the goosebumps on his body, and whispered.
"It's so warm, my uncle and my lady are so loving." Hua'er held her little face with both hands and was so moved. (End of chapter)
