Chapter 123: Provide sufficient ammunition for the little emperor!
Zhu Yijun stood up and said with a smile: "If there is a will, things will come true. If the cauldron sinks the boat, one hundred and two Qin Pass will eventually belong to Chu; if you work hard, God will not let you down; if you lie on the salary and taste the courage, three thousand Yue Jia can swallow Wu." "
"A group of rotten people who deserve to be buried still want me to bow my head without even thinking about it."
Zhu Yijun expressed his contempt for the corrupt Confucians. This is not Zhu Yijun's arrogance. , it is really the rotten scholars who are really vulnerable.
There have been two recent incidents between the DPRK and China, which can share the cake.
The first thing is that Baoqi Division recruits talents, and the second thing is the recommendation of Maritime Academy. One cultivates the land and the other cultivates the sea.
In these two things, the rotten scholars, or this group that likes to discuss things clearly, show their deep-rooted incompetence and laziness, and they can't even drink soup.
Baoqisi cultivates the land and Maritime Hall operates the sea. Both of them are extremely hard work.
Of course there are courtiers who object to the change of ancestors. This opposition is based on the motive of throwing the cake on the ground if they can't get a share of it.
Especially regarding the Maritime Hall, some court officials reported: Maritime prohibition is an ancestral law. In order to study the state, we have to exploit the sea to make profits. This is already a great sin. Why should we encourage this matter again? , when the time comes when the world's rituals and music are ruined, people's hearts are not as old as they used to be, and the people are resentful and vulgar, and the people are stealing, what will be done if integrity and shame are mourned?
Zhu Yijun directly used another ancestral method to deal with it, defeating the opponent and defeating him.
In the early days of the country, there was a ban. Those who learned the calendar were sent to the garrison, and those who created the calendar were put to death. In the eleventh year of Hongzhi, during the Xiaozong Dynasty, many calendars were inaccurate. Emperor Xiaozong personally issued an order to relax the ban on the calendar and ordered scholars who could live in seclusion in the mountains and forests to prepare for their selection. However, the result was that none of them died.
Due to the ban, a large number of calendar scholars were lost. During the Hongzhi period, if we wanted to formulate a complete calendar, we couldn't even find anyone who knew how to do it. Do we have to wait until the Ming Dynasty's maritime affairs and the conquest of mountains and forests to retreat? Only those who can master maritime affairs will regret it when they die without responding?
They all go against the ancestral laws. Is it something we did wrong today, or did we do something wrong in the Hongzhi Dynasty during the reign of Emperor Xiaozong?
Ming Xiaozong, who was very filial and filial, was also a politically correct existence in the Ming Dynasty. At that time, the main contradiction in the Ming Dynasty extended from household affairs to world affairs. After Xiaozong ascended the throne, he established various laws and regulations that have been highly praised. high.
It is said: Three generations below, those who are called wise masters are Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty, Emperor Renzong of the Song Dynasty, and Emperor Xiaozong of the Ming Dynasty.
To oppose the opening of the sea in violation of the ancestral law, we must first oppose the Ming Xiaozong's revision of the calendar and the violation of the ancestral law.
When the emperor knows enough about the history of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yijun as the emperor will not be bullied and can even scold him back.
"I heard that Your Majesty has doubts, and I will try to solve this doubt for Your Majesty." Zhu Zaiyu bowed his head and said.
Zhu Yijun's eyes lit up, someone wanted to help him solve his doubts again.
The little emperor who was diligent in asking questions couldn't wait to say: "Oh? Uncle Emperor, tell me quickly."
Zhu Zaiyu hurriedly said: "His Majesty once asked the Minister of Rites Wan Shihe and Yuan Fu a question, which is the little Buddha The Langji people and the Dafo Langji people live next to each other. They are both from the west of Thailand, but one is from West Malacca and the other is from East Luzon. Wan Shihe cannot respond to His Majesty's admonishment. I have a little Idea. "
Zhu Zaiyu wanted to show his value and persuade the emperor to invest in him. If he wanted to explain his value, he needed to tell a good story and coax the investors into thinking.
On the way, Zhu Zaiyu read the Di newspaper that he had never paid attention to for many years, and selected a breakthrough point. The emperor asked the red-haired fans from Malacca and Luzon why one came from the east and the other to the east. West.
Zhu Zaiyu picked up a piece of paper and outlined the shape of the Ming Dynasty in three or two strokes, followed by the Wanli Seawall, Luzon and the Strait of Malacca. However, in this picture, the shape of the Ming Dynasty is larger than usual. Unlike the situation that takes up the entire page, the Ming Dynasty in this picture is not too big.
The map of the Ming Dynasty is north, south, left, west, right and east. It has existed since ancient times. Zhu Zaiyu did not deviate from the tradition when he drew the map. It is easy to understand. After all, there is a huge official writing screen in the Wenhua Hall. Ancient Chinese On the map, north is always on top.
"Uncle Huang can also draw?" Zhu Yijun was amazed, and in a few strokes he sketched out the prototype of the world known to the Ming Dynasty.
"I understand a little, I understand a little." Zhu Zaiyu said with a smile. How could he dare to go to Liangshan without twos and threes? How could Zhu Zaiyu dare to be so arrogant, in front of the envoy? The person who said such a treason only hates that he is a member of the Zhu family?
"Your Majesty, during the Zhengde period, the Xiaofo Langji people sent envoys. From then on, the place where the Hongmao Fan was located was called Taixi. It is an extremely far west. It takes about a year to travel by boat. We can't reach it until now, but we still don't know its location, and the size of the country is still unknown, but we can summarize it by pointing at a location in the west."
Zhu Zaiyu clicked on a black dot and continued: "The size of the country. The country of Folangji is adjacent, so click on the side.”
"Compared to our Ming Dynasty, one came from the west to Malacca, and the other came from the east to Luzon and other places. On this piece of paper, it is indeed unreachable. It is indeed strange. They are obviously the same place, but they are far away in the east. It’s far to the west again.”
“But what if we stand the paper up and roll it up?”
Zhu Zaiyu drew two lines on the paper and picked up the paper. , rolled together, in this way, all problems are solved and suddenly become clear.
"The Red-haired Fans are all from the West. They are on the sea, one heading east and the other heading west, so they can naturally come to our country, the Ming Dynasty." Zhu Zaiyu answered His Majesty's doubts.
"Do you understand, sir?" Of course Zhu Yijun understood what Zhu Zaiyu wanted to express. The key is whether Zhang Juzheng, the prime minister of the empire, can understand it.
The little emperor thinks that Zhang Juzheng can understand that this is not a difficult matter and can solve the problem perfectly.
"Simple." Zhang Juzheng said with his usual expression. The little emperor had doubts. Zhang Juzheng really tried hard to find answers for the little emperor. He knew more than the little emperor thought, but he didn't think so yet. Just make sure your answer is correct.
Zhu Zaiyu glanced at Zhang Juzheng in surprise. There was something wrong with this person. For such a deviant topic, Zhang Juzheng actually said a simple sentence. He should not shout immediately, "Book of Rites" said: "Owpish sounds, strange sounds" Use clothes, strange skills, and strange weapons to suspect everyone and kill! The prophecy is just a lot of nonsense and nonsense.
Su heard that Zhang Juzheng was extremely strict with the young emperor. Is this how he became the emperor’s teacher? Don’t you even say anything about blaming Chen Shan?
Zhang Juzheng didn't say anything. The damage Fu Yingzhen caused to him was nothing more than drizzle. The little emperor hit him with a big hammer and a small hammer every day. Zhang Juzheng was dizzy. What Zhu Zaiyu said was nowhere to be found. When Zhang Juzheng was giving a banquet, the young emperor had asked him many times whether the king, father, and the country were one. That would be the real treason.
Zhang Juzheng said they were one, but in practice, the national funds were divided, which was a betrayal of the unity of the monarch, father, and country.
Political correctness must be practiced and things must be done.
It was in this side hall before that the little emperor discussed that machinery has nothing to do with xinxing.
"So, what the emperor is saying is that the earth is not flat, but a cylinder? It rotates back and forth around the axis of the earth, so there are sunrises and sunsets?" Seeing that Zhang Juzheng could understand, Zhu Yijun asked. .
Just like there are two dark clouds on the little emperor, after solving one problem, a lot of problems follow one after another, and it is overwhelming. For example, the little emperor said at this time, if the earth is a cylinder, The east and west are curved, why not the north and the south?
Zhu Zaiyu shook his head and said: "Your Majesty measured the angle of the North Pole to be 39.98° in the capital. I sat in Prince Zheng's Mansion for several years and received a rare gift from His Majesty. Before leaving, I observed the sky and obtained the figure from Prince Zheng's Mansion. The ground angle is 35.15°, which raises a new problem, Your Majesty.”
“Your Majesty, it’s four degrees off. This is abnormal.”
“What’s wrong?” Zhu Yijun asked slightly confused.
Zhu Zaiyu said with emotion: "As the saying goes, a horse will die if it looks at the mountains. If it sees the mountains and keeps running, the horse will be exhausted and cannot run. At this time, it will I have doubts, the sky is infinitely high, the sky is so high that I don’t know how high it is, and Beichen is like the top of a mountain. Your Majesty is in the Wenhua Hall, and I am in Prince Zheng’s Mansion. Although they are far away, compared to the sky, how can there be such a difference? ? ”
“So, our earth is not a tube, but a ball ”
The sky is infinitely high. Compared with Beichen, there is already a difference of four degrees from Hanoi County, Huaiqing Prefecture to Daming. Is it because the sky is not high enough, or is the ground a curved surface?
Two young eunuchs came to the emperor carrying a plate covered with red silk cloth. Zhu Zaiyu opened the red silk cloth and said: "The earth is a ball."
"So, what do you think, sir?" Zhu Yijun looked at Zhang Juzheng.
Zhang Juzheng bowed his head and said: "The Notes on the Armillary Sphere by Zhang Heng of the Han Dynasty says: The sky is like a chicken, and the earth is like a yellow. They live alone in the sky. The sky is big and the earth is small. Liu Song He Chengtian's "On the Body of the Armillary Sphere" said: " After searching carefully, I said before, by looking at the armillary sphere and studying its meaning, I realized that the shape of the sky is perfectly round, and water is half of it. It is the same from above to below, and water surrounds it below. "
"What the prince said is not a rare thing. What heaven and earth say is different. ”
What the sky looks like and what the earth looks like have different views throughout the ages. The sky is round and the earth is flat, and China is in the middle. It is just one of them.
In order to solve the little emperor’s doubts , Zhang Juzheng really tried his best to read a lot of books. The saying that the earth is a ball has been around since ancient times, because if the earth is a ball, it can explain many problems.
Zhu Zaiyu. He continued: ""Zhou Guan" said: "The shadow of the sun falls on the ground, and the difference is only one inch." "
"In the first year of Yongping, Wuzi, Northern Qi Dynasty, Xindu Fang said: Two hundred and fifty miles and a shadow is only one inch apart."
"In the Tang Dynasty, the eminent monks and others, Nangong Shuo and others, sent officials to various places to travel the zodiac and the armillary sphere to measure the shadow of the sun and return to the sun to report that the North Pole is high from the ground, 51° Tiele Uihe, and the North Pole is high from the ground 18° Linyi, the "Dayan Calendar" was completed. "Nangong Shuo led officials and astronomical doctors to map out the four places from Baima, Junyi, Fugou and Zhishang Caiwujin."
"The height of the North Pole was measured with the instrument complex moment instrument, and the winter solstice, summer solstice, spring equinox and autumnal equinox were measured with the eight-foot altimeter. The length of the sun's shadow at noon was measured by the measuring rope. The height of the North Pole above the ground was obtained. The difference is one degree, and the distance is 351 miles and 80 steps. "
Obviously, Zhu Zaiyu made it very clear that this is not his alone. From Zhou Guan to He Chengtian of Liu Song Dynasty, Xin Dufang of Northern Qi Dynasty, and Tang Dynasty. Master Yixing, Nangong Shuo, a supporter of the round earth theory, even practiced it and took advantage of the mystery of the instrument to conduct measurements.
Zhu Yijun looked at the sextant in front of him and asked doubtfully: "I understand what the emperor said. Since the Zhou Dynasty, he has discovered that the shadow length is different at the same time. By the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties , it was actually six hundred miles per inch. By the Northern Qi Dynasty, it became two hundred and fifty miles per inch. By the Tang Dynasty, instruments such as the compound moment instrument were used to measure the angle of the North Pole. "
"What is the compound moment that the emperor uncle said?"
Zhu Zaiyu drew the appearance of a compound moment in two or three strokes, which is a right-angled ruler turned over and a heavy hammer suspended at the vertex of the right angle. , an arc is set between two vertical rulers, with scales marked on them.
As long as you observe Polaris along a ruler, the weight line on the arc can show the reading of the North Pole altitude.
Zhu Zaiyu said sincerely: "The sextant used by His Majesty has the same goal by different paths."
"Sure enough, nothing is accomplished overnight, and there is a very clear development path. ." Zhu Yijun said with deep feeling.
Zhang Juzheng also stood on the shoulders of the sages of the past generations, breaking through his own cognitive scope bit by bit, without building castles in the air, and got the theory of contradiction. As for all Zhu Zaiyu's achievements, it is not that he is taller than the sky, and he is born with everything. They are all created and invented independently by themselves, but they stand on the shoulders of the sages of the past generations and take another step forward.
Knowing is born, knowing is learned, and knowing is difficult. These are the three methods of cognition. Only through drop by drop, little by little accumulation, and little by little breakthrough can we achieve results.
"Does Your Majesty know the precession of equinox?" After Zhu Zaiyu finished telling the story, he finally started to attract investment. He needed His Majesty the Emperor to invest in him. Policies, talents, and funds were all what Zhu Zaiyu needed. .
Zhu Yijun said with a smile: "I know, Feng Daban, explain to the emperor what precession is."
"The years of the sky and the earth are different, the years of the earth are short, and the years of the sky are long. It's the precession of equinox." Feng Baoyan explained briefly and comprehensively, but he listened very carefully. As for the definition of heaven and earth, Feng Bao didn't know much about it. He didn't do it, but it was enough to know the definition.
Zhu Zaiyu was dumbfounded. His Majesty was really surrounded by crouching tigers, hidden dragons. If he asked Sun Jigao, the number one scholar, about the concept of precession, he didn’t even know about it!
"What is the precession measured by the emperor's uncle?" Zhu Yijun asked curiously.
Zhu Zaiyu bowed his head and said: "One year's deviation is one minute and forty-three seconds, seventy-three microseconds and twenty-six fibers. When the sky travels once on the 25th day of the 91st day of 25202, that is to say, the north celestial pole pointed to by the earth's axis That star will become Gouchenyi again after more than 25,000 years, and it will retreat westward once in seventy and twenty quarters."
"Uncle Huang is awesome," Zhu Yijun said blankly. Looked at Zhu Zaiyu.
Guo Shoujing's "Time Calendar" measured the precession as sixty-six years, and Zhu Zaiyu measured the time as seventy years and twenty quarters. The correct answer is seventy-one years, eight months and one degree backward.
The emperor's uncle is here. Whoever said that the Ming Dynasty calendar has not made progress will send the emperor's uncle to fight!
The Ming Dynasty had no plans. It was just that the Ming Dynasty court could not make the trip because of the strong public opinion in the court.
You must know that Zhu Zaiyu is the son of Prince Zheng, and his father is a commoner. The Ming Dynasty has ancestral laws and cannot be educated. Zhu Zaiyu took great political risks to learn the calendar and was trapped by the royal vassal. In the absence of actual calendar measurement data and without any astronomical equipment, one can imagine how difficult it is to study the calendar alone, but the results obtained are a step forward.
Zhu Zaiyu is crazy and indeed has the capital to be crazy.
"I heard that the emperor's uncle is good at arithmetic. Please teach me arithmetic in the future." Zhu Yijun found a job for Zhu Zaiyu to teach the emperor mathematics. Of course, whoever teaches whom would be more interesting. Zhu Zaiyu said solemnly: "I want to build a star observatory to correct the errors in the calendar."
"What do you think, sir?" Zhu Yijun looked at Zhang Juzheng and asked road.
Zhang Juzheng knew before that the little emperor had plans to study for academic qualifications, but this matter had to be done step by step. He planned to provide the little emperor with some ammunition so that when the little emperor cursed, he would have enough ammunition. Can call the other party a fool.
He thought about it and said: "Some people say that Emperor Taizu Gao's forbidden calendar is the ratio of the forbidden astronomy and calendar calculations in all dynasties. This means that he only knows one but not the other. He has learned it but not all of it. Reading I have read the book, but I have only read a little bit.”
“Jin Shu said: The study of forbidden star energy and prophecy”
"Volume 9 of "Tang Lu Shu Yi" says: Those who study astronomy privately will be treated as prophecies and military books, and those who violate it will have to wait for two years." Eight people were assigned to Si Tiantai, and Yu Xixian lived on the island. "Song Law" said: Anyone who conceals his private practice and does not say anything will be punished by death, and those who ask for information will be rewarded with a hundred thousand yuan and sent to the palace. "
“The History of the Yuan Dynasty: The Chronicles of the Ancestors: The astronomical pictures and prophecies are secretly hidden in the world, and those who have private practices and conceal them will be punished.” They are not allowed to move, and their descendants are only allowed to learn astronomy and calender, and are not allowed to learn other professions; those who do not learn are sent to the South China Sea to serve as soldiers. "
"The so-called: Those who learn calendars are sent to garrison, and those who create calendars are forced to die. This is a misunderstanding. , It should be that the descendants of Qin Tianjian who did not learn astronomy and calender were garrisoned, and those who secretly created calendars were killed."
Zhang Juzheng provided the first ammunition, even in the Wanli period, even in the Ming Dynasty, against the Ming Dynasty. Emperor Zugao's ban on the calendar was also misunderstood. It was because the descendants of the Qin Tianjian officials went to the South China Sea to join the army without learning astronomy and calendar calculations, and the people secretly created the calendar.
Zhang Juzheng continued: ""Zuo Zhuan" said: The former king Sun Manzhi reprimanded Chuzi: The importance of the tripod cannot be asked." It is a symbol, so others are not allowed to covet it. The astronomical calendar has been banned in all dynasties for the same reason."
"Zhou Li·Chun Guan Zongbo" records: The duties of Taishi are given in prefaces every year. The government and the capital promulgate it to the states. "
"The Zhou rites are also the laws of astronomy and calculus that are in charge of the imperial court, and are then promulgated to the government and the capital, and are also given to the states, and the princes and subjects all abide by them. ”
"Correction of official astronomy, strict prohibition of private astronomy practice."
Zhang Juzheng provided the second ammunition, why has the private practice of astronomy and calendar been prohibited in all dynasties? Because this thing has the power to reach the sky and the gods, and it is the same as the Jiuding. The calendar is now inaccurate. Doesn’t it mean that the court cannot reach the sky and the gods? If it is not repaired quickly, is it necessary to conquer the rituals and music? Are the princes coming out?
It is natural for the imperial court to be in charge of astronomy. Now the people are more powerful than the imperial court in calendaring. That is the end of the world.
"Shang Tang destroyed the Xia Society and restored it; King Wen of the Zhou Dynasty built a spiritual platform and destroyed the trading company; those who privately studied astronomy and calculus and then joined the new master were considered criminals in the old dynasty, and criminals in the new dynasty. You are a hero! Wu Fan is like Wu Wang Sun Quan, Zhang Bin is like Emperor Wen of Sui Dynasty, Li Chunfeng is like Emperor Taizong of Tang Dynasty, and Liu Ji is like Emperor Taizu Gao." Zhang Juzheng provided the third ammunition to the young emperor. , this ammunition can be described as a gunpowder ship-level blockbuster.
The calendar compiled by the imperial court is not as good as that of the people, and chaos in the world is foreseeable.
Liu Ji had an Astronomical Book and Zatian Shu as his assistant to Taizu Emperor Gao. After Liu Ji became an official and returned home, he became seriously ill. He gave the Astronomical Book to his son Liu Lian and said: It is urgently needed. Don't let future generations learn from it! When Liu Ji died, he warned his children and grandchildren not to learn astronomy and calendar calculations, but also to return astronomical books to Taizu Emperor Gao.
"Sir, do you mean it can be done?" Zhu Yijun asked with a smile. He accepted Zhang Juzheng's ammunition and loaded it.
Zhang Juzheng said with great confirmation: "Yes, the Qintian Prison is opposite the Gongyuan and the Imperial College. The star observatory should be built in the Qintian Prison."
Zhu Yijun nodded and said: " Well, then the emperor's uncle and Qin Tianjian, Prime Minister Zhou, will supervise this matter together."
Zhu Zaiyu obeyed the leader's order and said loudly: "I accept the order!"
Zhu Zaiyu's father, Zhu Hounan, had put aside his past grievances. In Zhu Hounan's view, the late emperor restored his title and gave him an additional salary of 400 shi. This was an admission of mistake. In this era when the emperor was supreme, the late emperor could not pretend to be ignorant. You know, Zhu Houtan will never be able to live without a high wall in his life.
As for Zhu Zaiyu, in fact, he has been fighting for right and wrong, but he is just fighting for his life unwillingly.
Now that the emperor has asked him to preside over the compilation of the New Calendar, he has put aside the right and wrong of the past and given him an opportunity to correct the new right and wrong. He is still arguing about right and wrong, but there are differences.
Zhu Zaiyu and Zhang Juzheng left the side hall of Wenhua Hall and stood under the winter sunshine.
"Sir, can you lend me a copy of the theory of contradictions?" Zhu Zaiyu decided to take a look. What kind of knowledge is the theory of contradictions highly recommended by his father? Today's court affairs, Zhang Juzheng, are better than he imagined. More powerful.
But even such a powerful Zhang Juzheng, such a smart little emperor, has such difficulty in doing things.
Zhang Juzheng said quite accurately: "That is your majesty's contradiction. You should ask Daxuan for it. Your Highness, the capital of Longtan and Tiger's Cave is no better than Huaiqing Prefecture and Hanoi County. You must be more cautious and more careful." , If you can’t say it, don’t say it. This is a big matter, so please make it clear in advance.”
At the grand banquet to welcome Prince Zheng’s crown prince Zhu Zaiyu to the capital to show his close friendship, the young emperor was too busy. Xiwu and Nongsang did not attend, and neither did Zhu Zaiyu, the protagonist of this close friendship.
After Zhu Zaiyu got the theory of contradiction, he forgot the time while studying. He was not interested in these red tapes, especially knowing that the little emperor would not go, then he would not go, plus Zhang Juzheng’s instructions , Zhu Zaiyu, who lived in the Tenth Prince's Mansion, lived a life of seclusion and simplicity.
The courtiers could not see the prince at all.
What Zhu Zaiyu regretted was that his nephew didn't care about music at all. What he was best at was music rhythm, so the little emperor only looked at him twice.
Although the little emperor has many hobbies, he has little interest in music.
In December of the second year of Wanli, in the Liaodong Dusi Administrative Office, the governors Zhang Xueyan and Li Chengliang held their hands and looked at the sky. The sky was as blue as a wash, and there was no intention of snowing at all. It was not going to snow. Without launching an attack, Li Chengliang's move was to annihilate Jiannu in one battle.
Li Chengliang is burly and tall, while Zhang Xueyan is a scholar and a little thin, but the two of them stand together in harmony. The two of them have the same posture, looking up at the sky, and they are helpless to God.
It just doesn’t snow.
Zhang Xueyan frowned and said: "At the beginning of November, the imperial court has decided to attack, and the food and wages have also arrived. If we don't attack, the imperial court may think that we are supporting the invaders to respect ourselves, and threaten the imperial court to pay the arrears of wages." It will be distributed as scheduled."
"I also have this worry, but God is not kind to me. What can I do if I don't suppress it, it will cause endless harm?" Li Chengliang looked up at the sky, his neck was sore, but he still didn't see it. dark clouds.
This made Li Chengliang particularly anxious.
“The imperial court seems to have not urged you.” Zhang Xueyuan said with an even weirder expression: “Your Majesty has never issued an order to inquire, and the ministers have not sent letters. The imperial court is even calmer. There has been a lot of commotion in the imperial court recently. , because it is unusual to reduce the vassal salary. It is usually the courtiers and prime ministers who persuade His Majesty to reduce the vassal salary. Now it is the other way around. It is the courtiers who are blocking the reduction of the vassal salary."
"Qi Shuai never sent his troops. When the officer heard the news, it was strange! This battle made me feel uncomfortable."
If they were urged, Zhang Xueyan and Li Chengliang would not be so worried. Everything is ready now, but they only need West Wind. Li Chengliang and others have been slow to move. The court, let alone reprimanding, did not even urge. They just asked one or two questions every day. It was so weird that the two of them felt very strange.
Li Chengliang raised a possibility: "Is it possible that His Majesty is wise and knows that Liaodong is far away, so he does not give us orders? You see, His Majesty transferred silver from the internal funds and said that he would make up for the full salary. , this is the first time since the Yongle Dynasty.”
“When have you ever seen money coming back?”
Li Chengliang has never seen this scene before. He had to figure out his own way to fight the war. There was no money, food, or logistics at all. Half of the imperial court's salary had arrived in Liaoyang. It was the first time for Li Chengliang to fight such a wealthy battle. After the battle, he still had full salary. If he could cash it in, it would not be Li Chengliang's fault. The situation in Liaodong will be stable for more than ten years immediately!
Haixi women's straights, Yeren women's straights, Wuliangha's three tribes, and Jianzhou women's straights are all local chickens and dogs!
Zhang Xueyan said with some uncertainty: "Maybe, maybe? Maybe? Qi Shuai also said the same. Qi Shuai said, Your Majesty is wise and wise. He knows the military affairs on the front line and the fighter opportunities are fleeting, so he doesn't urge you much. "
"According to Qi Shuai, the imperial court only has this amount of money, and it will last for as long as it takes. It's quite... the Ming Emperor is wise."
When they got up, Zhang Xueyan and Li Chengliang were somewhat uncomfortable. This battle was a bit strange.
Li Chengliang was also under a lot of pressure. The court's silent attitude made Li Chengliang feel very angry. What if he was scolding someone with an imperial edict?
Li Chengliang pointed at the sky and cursed loudly: "God, you son of a bitch, won't give you face when you use him. He can't even catch a breath. I went to the Dragon King Temple to beg for snow for several days." , I have seen people praying for rain, but I have never seen people praying for snow! Don’t let me find where your Dragon King is, otherwise I will have to pull out its skin and cramp its muscles!”
Zhang Xueyan withdrew his gaze, shook his head and said, "What a bastard! Normally, the cold wind keeps howling, and the snow gets heavier each time, but this year is not the best. Since the beginning of winter, not even a single hair has fallen!"
Li Chengliang and Zhang Xueyan were amazed. As soon as they finished speaking, the old dead vines roared, and the sand on the ground was blown up by the wind, swirling and raising a puff of smoke.
"The wind is blowing?"
"The wind is blowing." Li Chengliang suddenly trembled and said, "The wind is blowing!"
In fact, it was not the two of them. The magic is that the two of them squat and scold each other every day. Whenever the wind blows, it seems that the two of them have magic.
The wind in Liaodong was so cold and biting, it was like blowing on human bones. When the cold wind blew, Li Chengliang shivered and said with ecstasy: "Haha, my God. Don't stop me! Well done! Zhou Shilu, gather your men and prepare to attack the rebel leader Wang Nian! Where are you, Wang Nian?"
Feng, Li Chengliang went crazy.
Li Chengliang prepared to fight. After searching for a long time, he could not find where Wang Nian, the grain doctor in the Ministry of Household Affairs, had gone!
"I'm afraid he's sleeping on some girl's belly! I'm going to look for him!" Zhang Xueyan looked left and right. These days, the generals have been waiting for the snow to fall, so come over if nothing happens. Let me ask you, Commander-in-Chief, when will we attack? Avenge Pei Chengzu?
Only Wang Nian, who was in charge of the food supply, kept saying that he could not be beaten all day long. Not only that, Wang Nian did not even click on the button many times.
If the main discussion in the court had not been focused on the issue of sects and vassals, what Wang Nian said might have set off a wave of public opinion to stop the advance.
Looking at the wind, Wang Nian is still not there!
The reason why Wang Nian is so rampant is entirely because he is a Jin party, and Zhang Xueyan, the governor of Liaodong, is also a Jin party.
In September of the fourth year of Longqing, the three guards of Uliangha, Chahan Tumen Khan, saw that Anda Khan was enthroning the king in the northwest. They immediately took the three guards to peek into Liaodong and Chen Bingguan, hoping to seek enlightenment from the soldiers. The court also granted him the title of king. Wang Zhidao, the commander-in-chief of Liaodong, and Lang Degong, the general of Jinyi, died in battle. The following year, the governor Li Qiu was dismissed, and Zhang Xueyan was recommended by Gao Gong to patrol Liaodong.
Zhang Xueyan immediately became angry. When there was no war, you acted wantonly. Zhang Xueyan saw that everyone was a member of the Jin Party, so he tolerated it. However, at present, the war was fierce and dangerous, and Wang Nian was not interested in the Jin Revolution. Not even a human figure could be seen.
When Zhang Xueyan found Wang Nian, some snowflakes were already floating in the sky, and Wang Nian's legs were spinning and he was a little unsteady. It was obvious that he was not fully awake from the wine. Zhang Xueyan was so angry that he kicked Wang Nian. He threw him to the ground, took his seal and ribbon, and personally supervised the food supply.
Wang Nian grabbed Zhang Xueyan, shook his head vigorously, and after waking up for a few minutes, he said: "You can't fight. Leave Fushun Pass and go to Gule Village to fight against the bandits. It may be dangerous. Then How did Pei Chengzu die? Wasn't he trapped?"
