Chapter 192 A brand new cannon casting method, patentee: Qi Jiguang
Yin Zhengmao's time in Guangdong and Guangxi to quell the Japanese bandits was from the fifth year of Longqing to the second year of Wanli.
During this period, the Ming Dynasty was really poor. Emperor Longqing had a guest, and the entire Ming Dynasty was plundered. They only needed 400,000 taels of silver to build the imperial mausoleum, which was not replenished until December of the first year of Wanli. The balance is paid.
The Ming Emperor’s mausoleum, how could there be such a shabby mausoleum?
It really does.
Emperor Chongzhen’s mausoleum cost a total of three thousand taels of silver.
The Ming court was poor at that time, but Yin Zhengmao had to find a way to defeat the Japanese in the extreme south and Guangdong.
In the process of thinking of ways, there will inevitably be corruption. The Ming Dynasty handed over all the official gifts of Guangdong and Guangxi for four years to Yin Zhengmao, and asked Yin Zhengmao to defeat the Japanese invaders. He did not care about anything else, as long as he could defeat the Japanese invaders. Good Governor.
So, Yin Zhengmao won, but the salary of the three thousand guest soldiers and the reputation of harshly criticizing the powerful gentry were all Yin Zhengmao's corruption crimes.
Yin Zhengmao's answer was also frank, saying directly that he had raised guest soldiers. After the war between Guangdong and Guangxi settled down, the placement of these guest soldiers became a huge problem.
At that time, he either followed the advice of the official in charge of the court, dismissed the guest soldiers, promoted Yin Zhengmao to Nanya as minister, and deprived him of his military, political and financial power.
Either listen to the advice of the court officials, recruit Lin Afeng to surrender, and capture Luzon, so that these guest soldiers and pirates can have a place to run wild.
Ting Yi, Zhang Juzheng, and Zhu Yijun finally chose the latter, and now it seems that the results are pretty good.
"What do you think, sir?" Zhu Yijun looked at Zhang Juzheng and asked Zhang Juzheng for his opinion. There were two courtiers in the side hall of Wenhua Hall, one Zhang Juzheng and the other Yin Zhengmao.
At that time, Zhang Juzheng kept writing letters repeatedly to prevent Yin Zhengmao from being greedy, but Yin Zhengmao seemed to ignore Zhang Juzheng at all.
Zhang Juzheng bowed his head and said: "Yinbu Tang is loyal to the emperor and the country, and the whale salamanders are all killed. The local area is peaceful, and the public merits are possible; when the soldiers are driven out, there should be a sudden change, and in the place where they fight, It is impossible to defeat a traitor who is destined to die, but the troops are not well-positioned and the battle is not flooded, but the whole army is victorious. The reward has not yet been fully rewarded. Jane is in the heart of the emperor and will have a great future. "
If Yin Zhengmao was in Guangdong and Guangxi, Zhang Juzheng would never speak highly of Yin Zhengmao so highly, but Yin Zhengmao has already arrived in Luzon!
The rewards from the imperial court are no longer enough to reward Yin Zhengmao for his achievements. Jian is in the emperor's heart and will have a great future. In other words, the past things are in the past. Now even the powerful people in Guangdong and Guangxi are responsible. If there is no further investigation, Zhang Juzheng will naturally not hold on to him anymore.
The interesting part is here. When Ling Yunyi visited Guangdong and Guangxi, the powerful gentry in Guangdong and Guangxi all missed Yin Butang.
Yin Zhengmao is greedy and demanding, but Ling Yunyi is murderous!
Yin Zhengmao knew this, because many powerful gentry from Guangdong and Guangxi wrote letters to Yin Zhengmao, asking Yin Zhengmao to advise Ling Yunyi that he should pay his dues, and if he wants money, he should get money, and don't engage in such activities as killing people. It's too scary.
"Did Yin Butang recruit pirates in Luzon?" Zhu Yijun asked the second question, asking Yin Zhengmao, what do you mean by recruiting pirates in Luzon? In addition to financial independence, you also want military independence, right? What on earth do you want to recruit these pirates?
This is also a question that Yin Zhengmao must answer.
Yin Zhengmao bowed his head and said: "Yes."
"Your Majesty, I am in the extreme south, and most of the pirates are outlaws. As long as there is some way, they will not be on the run, they will be on the run. , fleeing for one's life, just fleeing for one's life. It is a taboo for the country to gather ministers to flee. However, there are very few Han people in Luzon, so this method was adopted. To the Ming Dynasty, they were pirates, but to Luzon, they were Han people. He is one of the pillars of the Luzon Governor's Office in Luzon."
Yin Zhengmao waved his sleeves and knelt on the ground and said, "I am scared, Rong Chen defended me."
"Departure. Where does the saying of combat strength come from? He is so weak and has no sense of shame. He refuses to obey the discipline and restraint. He gathers and falls apart. He is nothing more than a group of rabble-rousers. The powerful soldiers of the ministers are recruited from Guangdong and Guangxi, and they are gathered together to escape. The second is to calm the people. "
Yin Zhengmao defended his behavior. Luzon was overseas and there were few Han people in it, so he recruited people to flee. The bandits were in Guangdong and Guangxi. Firstly, they reduced the gathering of pirates and prevented them from gathering and causing chaos. Secondly, they stabilized the local rule of the Governor-General of Luzon.
That's why he did it.
Yin Zhengmao has been fighting the Japanese bandits for so many years, but there are so many desperadoes. The most are a group of common people who can't survive, and they take risks and go to sea to run for their lives.
If you look at Yin Zhengmao's words from another angle, you are sympathizing with the civil unrest, which is a big crime! People who sympathize with the rebellion, do you, Yin Butang, also want to join in the civil unrest?
This was a matter of stance, but Yin Zhengmao still said it, with a clear conscience.
"Yin Budang, in the future, you will be free of courtesy when you play in private, and you don't have to kowtow and reply like this." Zhu Yijun first asked Yin Zhengmao to get up and reply, then looked at Zhang Juzheng and asked, "What do you think, sir?"
Zhang Juzheng bowed his head and said: "I believe that what Yin Butang said is true to every word. If you want to achieve extraordinary achievements, you must do extraordinary things. A small gathering of people in exile will only increase the number of Han people in Lu Song."
Zhang Juzheng bypassed the issue of stance and was quite satisfied with Yin Zhengmao's answer.
Because this involves the efficiency of the Ming Dynasty's control over Luzon, the Luzon Governor-General's Office is highly dependent on the support of the Ming Dynasty. This is good news for the Ming Dynasty. The Luzon Governor-General's Office controls Luzon Its core is three thousand recruited soldiers, and these people are the recruited soldiers of the Ming Dynasty. This is the root. As long as this root continues, the Ming Dynasty's rule over Luzon will not be interrupted.
"It's true." Zhu Yijun said with a smile.
Yin Zhengmao is a little confused. In his opinion, these two things cannot be passed so easily!
His corruption in Guangdong and Guangxi became a hot topic. Zhang Juzheng always told him to restrain himself with serious words in his letters. The powerful gentry of Guangdong and Guangxi even impeached him in their congratulations. , this corruption matter actually passed the test so easily, that’s it, Guangju was on the run, but he also passed the test smoothly?
This involves a question of stance. Is the court really not afraid that Yin Zhengmao will cause any big trouble in Luzon?
Yin Zhengmao was actually not optimistic about entering the capital this time. He was no longer a child. He knew very well how messy the court was. Although everything he said was true, it had to be believed by the emperor and Yuan Fu.
The court was actually able to tell the truth, and after telling it, His Majesty actually felt that what he said was reasonable!
This is even stranger than the sun coming out in the west! Is it possible that he is really a member of the old Zhu family living among the people? Otherwise, this kind of holy family is really unjustifiable. But in terms of how hard his father beat him when he was a kid, it was definitely his biological father.
Zhu Yijun looked at Yin Zhengmao's slightly shocked expression and said with a smile: "Yin Butang, you have to read about contradictions."
Yin Zhengmao's main contradiction in Guangdong and Guangxi was to quell the Japanese bandits, and other It is a secondary contradiction. Yin Zhengmao's main contradiction in Luzon was to protect the Ming Dynasty, and the other contradictions were secondary contradictions.
So even if what Yin Zhengmao told is a lie, these two reasons are completely sufficient. As long as the main contradiction is resolved, there is no need to worry about the rest.
Zhu Yijun can still figure out the priorities.
"The third question is about the Luzon Shipping Department. The imperial court sent eunuchs and coastal defense magistrates to set up a rate office. What does Yin Butang think?" Zhu Yijun asked another question that was the most discussed.
Governor of Luzon, the Ming Dynasty collected taxes in Luzon. Does Yin Butang agree or not?
This is a core conflict of interest issue, related to the distribution of interests.
"As it should be, responding to coastal defense, anti-smuggling, and tax collection is a regular matter for the imperial court, and I cannot go against it." Yin Zhengmao said without any hesitation.
Taking a step back, if Yin Zhengmao really wants to establish himself as king, he must get the support of Ming Dynasty. If he doesn't pay taxes to Ming Dynasty, why should Ming Dynasty support him? The five-masted ocean crossing ship parked in Tianjin Wei will definitely show off its power when it sails to Luzon.
Moreover, Yin Zhengmao never thought that he was an enemy of the Ming Dynasty. He was the uncle of Sishui, the Minister of the Ministry of War, and the governor of Luzon in the Ming Dynasty. The place where the Minister of War is the governor is called the Ministry of Defense. Yin Zhengmao is what he is today, all because of the Ming Dynasty!
If you don’t pay taxes to the court, do you want to rebel?
Yin Zhengmao did not want to rebel, and the Luzon Governor's Office also needed the support of the Ming Dynasty, so he was willing to pay taxes.
Coastal defense, anti-smuggling, and tax collection should all have the power of the imperial court. This is Yin Zhengmao's answer.
"What do you think, sir?" Zhu Yijun looked at Zhang Juzheng again and asked Zhang Juzheng for his opinion. Zhang Juzheng bowed his head and said, "I would like to take credit for Yin Butang."
Zhu Yijun showed a very happy expression With a smile, he said: "Okay, okay, Feng Bao, declare the edict."
Feng Bao stood a step forward, and the two small yellow doors opened a satin edict. Feng Bao shook the fly whisk again and loudly He said: "The emperor is destined to be transported by heaven, and the edict says:"
"To do great things, you must first rely on people and people; to establish a great business, especially the right location. For example, the battle of Bu Tang's attack on Luzon, how can it be called foreign affairs?" Is the island enough to establish the foundation of eternity? ”
"We have discovered wonders that have never been seen in the past, leaving these mountains and rivers as a world for overseas remnants. We have encountered so many things in our lives, and our shortcomings are returned to heaven and earth. This is Zhou Tianqi's perfect man."
"The spirit of Zhongheyue, For the victory of Mian Zhengshuo; I live by the sea and know that there are saints in China. "
"I would like to tell my ancestors that I will be loyal to you forever."
>
"The dynasty became a constitution after a long period of time, and the virtues and benefits were extended. The edict was issued to the world, and the envoys heard about it."
"I appreciate this."
As a literary scholar, of course Yin Zhengmao can understand it. , he knelt on the ground, bowed again and said loudly: "I thank your Majesty for your kindness."
At first he thought it was an imperial edict for routine rewards, but just when he was about to straighten up, he bestowed the three names of the country with the surname. The word flashed in his mind, and he finally understood what the emperor had rewarded!
Doesn’t this confirm that he is really the exiled clan member of Lao Zhu’s family?
He immediately bowed down again and said in a frightened tone: "I dare not, your majesty, please take back my order!"
Yin Zhengmao was stupid, he thought it was just He was given some money, silk, wine and other things, but the emperor gave him a big job and gave him a national surname!
How could he, Yin Zhengmao, be so virtuous and capable? Can you receive such holy grace?
This thing is really the first time since the Ming Dynasty. It was not uncommon in ancient times to give a country a surname. However, in the Ming Dynasty, there was only one case of the Duke of Guizhou, and the surname was finally changed back to Mu. His name was Yin Zhengmao. Once the imperial edict is obtained, ten thousand mouths cannot explain it clearly!
Giving a national surname requires a clan certificate!
Zhang Juzheng, you are so bold. Do you dare to do such a thing?
The side hall of Wenhua Hall was silent for a while. Zhu Yijun sighed heavily and said in a slightly uninterested tone: "Will Yin Butang also abandon me?"
"I am scared and don't know what your Majesty means." Yin Zhengmao was a little confused, and the little emperor seemed a little sad.
"Did Yin Bu Tang see the empty Huangji (Hall) outside before entering the hall?" Zhu Yijun's tone became more tragic, and he said helplessly: "They took my home. Give me some!”
Yin Zhengmao finally understood!
They were all the ministers left behind by the late emperor, but it turned out that some traitors were so bold that they burned down the palace! If Yin Zhengmao refuses to accept this, doesn't it mean that he, Yin Zhengmao, is also a traitor and a sycophant who does not repay the kindness of the late Emperor for knowing him and is not loyal to His Majesty's duties?
Yin Zhengmao thought again and again, then bowed his head and said: "I accept the decree!"
Facing the fire that filled the sky, the little emperor must have been so frightened, so frightened, and uneasy. He suddenly heard that a loyal minister of the late emperor had returned to the capital. He hoped to get more support and even the ancestral law that bestowed upon him the country. Having thought up this trick, there is no doubt that the little emperor needs support.
Look at the faces of these traitors, what they have pushed His Majesty to!
Since His Majesty came to the throne, His Majesty has never owed him Yin Zhengmao a penny. He has even given many favors and received many infamy, but Yin Zhengmao doesn't care much about it.
"Yin Butang is exempt from the ceremony." Zhu Yijun smiled at the corner of his mouth.
Zhang Juzheng sighed, just act as the little emperor. Bullying Yin Zhengmao does not know the specific situation in the court, bullying Yin Zhengmao does not know the true face of the emperor.
The little emperor may have expected that someone would take the risk, and had even been waiting for this day.
Zhu Yijun went to Taiye Pond to fish with a slingshot. He was always very close to the water. He was waiting for someone to push him down. He can swim! As a result, he didn't wait until he fell into the water, but waited until the hall was set on fire.
In fact, when the Ming Dynasty changed the country's surname, it did not mean to remove Yin Zhengmao's Yin, or to make Yin Zhengmao completely abandon his ancestors. It was a kind of favor. He only needed to change the surname from Yin Zhengmao to Chen Guo in the memorial. Masaki is enough.
This is an approach to unite people's hearts and further confirm that Luzon is the territory of the Ming Dynasty. "Yin Butang is coming with me." Zhu Yijun began to show off, showing off the results of his seven display windows.
The more Yin Zhengmao looked at it, the more frightened he became. The Ming Dynasty was now showing its contradictions. On the one hand, the Ming Dynasty was prospering, but on the other hand, the Ming Emperor's wealth and life were substantially threatened. It seemed to be in danger. The things in these seven windows, Everything can make Ming Dynasty better, and everything can also make His Majesty more dangerous!
Some snakes, rats, insects and flies are really damned!
Zhu Yijun and Yin Zhengmao talked about the changes from crank, circular to reciprocating motion, and completed the visit to the side hall of Wenhua Hall.
Gao Gong was introduced by Feng Baodai, and Yin Zhengmao was explained by the emperor himself. The holy family is prosperous, and Jane is in the heart of the emperor.
"What is this?" Yin Zhengmao asked looking at a very strange model.
Zhu Yijun looked at the model in front of him and said: "The method invented by Qi Shuai is not very intuitive when looking at the model. Let's go to the Bingzhan Bureau to have a look. This is a brand new casting method."
A brand new cannon casting method, patentee: Qi Jiguang.
Qi Jiguang was good at winning battles. He paid great attention to the casting of ordnance. In order to cast suitable and usable cannons, Qi Jiguang also got a method after serious communication with the craftsmen.
In the Ming Dynasty: Forging ten guns and cannons, those who can get two or three usable guns are called masters.
This is talking about the yield rate of the Ming Dynasty's cannons and firecrackers. Even if the craftsman is a skilled craftsman, the yield rate is only 20% to 30%, and once the chamber explodes on the battlefield, the problem will be very serious. Defense There will be mistakes and mistakes in the attack, and it is easy for the enemy to seize the opportunity.
How to improve the yield rate and reduce the explosion of the barrel became something that Qi Jiguang was thinking about. Qi Jiguang had been observing and summarizing his experience, and finally found the problem with the Ming cannon casting method.
The cannon casting methods of the Ming Dynasty are generally divided into two types. The first is sand molding, in which sand workers add clay and water to the sand, stir and compact it continuously, and finally form a mold. A large general cannon is The sand mold can be as short as one month or as long as three months. Coupled with the terrifying scrap rate, sand mold cannon casting has shortcomings such as a long time and the inability to cast in large quantities. The same is true for the lost-wax sand mold cannon casting method.
The second type is to cast cannons in iron molds. Casting cannons in iron molds has several advantages. Turn the clay mold over to cast the iron mold, and then use the iron mold to cast the cannon. This means changing the mold from a sand mold to a cast iron model. In this way, there is no need to waste the construction period, a large number of cannons can be cast, and the cannon molds can be used repeatedly to reduce mold making costs; there is no need to wait for the molds to dry like clay molds, which greatly improves production efficiency.
This iron mold cannon is so good, why do we need to improve the process?
Iron casting is not a new technology. It has been widely used as early as the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. It has only advantages and no disadvantages.
The biggest problem in iron mold casting is the explosion of the chamber, so the wall of the cannon must be continuously thickened to prevent the explosion of the chamber. Then the cannon will become larger and heavier, which is similar to Qi Jiguang's use of artillery in field battles. The purpose is contrary to the purpose. A seven to eight thousand kilogram artillery can only be filled with twelve kilograms of gunpowder. After two shots were fired, the barrel was cracked, so what else could be fired?
The biggest problem with iron-moulded cannons is that the cooling is rapid from the outside to the inside. A large amount of hard and brittle white cast iron will appear on the inner wall of the cannon bore. If it is hard, it cannot be sharpened. It cannot be bored smoothly, and if it is brittle, it will break due to explosion.
The method commonly used in the Ming Dynasty with a relatively high yield rate is: double-layer iron cannons forged internally and cast externally.
The inside is made of wrought iron and the outside is cast pig iron. The Ming Dynasty's artillery looks very ordinary. There are a lot of trachoma holes on the outside. Sometimes when the artillery is fired, a piece will fall out. It doesn't matter if it looks ugly, as long as it has good performance.
Losing a piece does not prevent the artillery from continuing to fire, and it can be used with subsequent repairs, all because of the forged wrought iron core.
The gun core is forged from hundreds of wrought iron, so the outer gun body is damaged, but the inner gun body is still intact, because the outer layer of pig iron only serves to reinforce the inner wrought iron gun barrel. The craftsmen who poured the outer layer You can do whatever you want, and you can replace whatever is lost.
So the Ming Dynasty's artillery can be used as long as the inner wrought iron core is not damaged.
Qi Jiguang's method is different from sand molds, iron molds, internal forging and external casting. The method he used was the brainchild of the craftsmen of the Ming Dynasty War Bureau.
Zhu Yijun arrived at the Bingzhan Bureau. The eunuch of the Bingzhan Bureau received the news too late. His Majesty had already arrived before the cleaning was finished.
"Tianzihao No. 27 General Cannon." Zhu Yijun came to the warehouse, asked someone to open the covering tarpaulin, and said with a smile.
Tianzihao was made by the imperial government, and the emperor personally supervised the work. The twenty-seventh cannon did not have twenty-seven brothers. It was the first new cannon-casting method of the Ming Dynasty. The cannon was cast successfully twenty-seven times and went smoothly. Multiple artillery fires were fired.
There are 257 characters on the body of the cannon from top to bottom according to the official rank. From the word "Emperor Made", the names of British Duke Zhang Rong, Dingguo Duke Xu Wenbi, Qian'an Bo Qi Jiguang and the craftsmen are all included. On top of the artillery.
Zhu Yijun stood in front of the cannon, looked up at the eight-pound cannon and said with a smile: "This cannon is seven feet, two inches and three inches long, with an inner diameter of three inches and three inches, and an outer diameter of eight inches and one minute. The body diameter is 24, the weight is 1800 kilograms, and the range is about 800 steps."
"The method of internal forging and external casting is actually very good, and it effectively improves the yield rate, but there is still a huge problem. The problem is that it cannot be cast in large quantities, and the production capacity is limited. It takes several months to cast a gun core, and the production efficiency is low. At the same time, the maximum inner diameter is six inches, and it cannot be larger."
"That's it. Prompted the birth of this artillery ”
"Water-cooled gun casting method in iron mold."
Long-term practice of gun casting has found that the most important and fundamental reason for the high rejection rate in gun casting is the cooling rate gap between the inside and outside of the gun barrel. The sand mold , iron molds all have this problem, so the gun core is a compromise.
Moreover, the larger the caliber of the gun barrel, the thicker the wall of the gun barrel, and the more obvious the difference in cooling rate between the inside and outside of the barrel. Due to this difference in cooling rate, many gun barrels whose materials are not good enough and are not uniform enough, During cooling, cracks will occur in the artillery barrel due to thermal expansion and contraction.
If the gun body has cracks, it is a waste product.
And the most important thing is that due to the difference in cooling rate between the inside and outside of the barrel, some cracks are not visible on the outside, but are inside the metal of the tube wall.
So all the artillery built at that time needed to be tested for the first time. The gun barrel is filled with gunpowder but without shells, and is released once. The gun with no cracks in the wall is considered qualified. This is called a gun test, but often the gun that passes the gun test still explodes or the gun body breaks on the battlefield.
The cracks caused by the difference in cooling speed will not be exploded once, but two or three times.
This is also the reason why ginseng iron was given as a gift by Ning Yuanbo Li Chengliang.
Guangningwei has an artillery called Yaowei General Cannon. It is a double-layer 10,000-kilogram iron cannon. It can use 47 kilograms of iron bullets and 23 kilograms of gunpowder. The inner diameter of the gun barrel is 15 Times, weighing more than 10,000 kilograms, it is powerful, but a cannon weighs more than 10,000 kilograms and is inconvenient to transport, so it can only be used as a city defense cannon.
Ginseng iron was not widely available in the Ming Dynasty, so it was imperative to improve the technology.
The answer given by Qi Jiguang and the craftsmen of the Ming Dynasty War Bureau was that iron molds can be cast on a large scale. The problem that needs to be solved is that the outside of the cast cannon is cooled too quickly and the inside is cooled too slowly, resulting in the accumulation of white iron. inside.
The craftsmen chose water cooling, internal mold water cooling technology.
After twenty-seven trials, the development of the water-cooled casting method in the iron mold was finally completed. The internal water-cooling rate is the final result of more than twenty practices. It is so extremely While greatly speeding up the casting speed of artillery, it also greatly improved the yield rate.
Yin Zhengmao marveled at the cannon and quickly understood the scope of application of this new technology. He breathed a little and said, "Doesn't this mean that heavy cannons can be built?"
< br>"Yes, the Bureau of War has designed a naval gun." Zhu Yijun nodded and said: "It has an inner diameter of three and a half inches, and an outer diameter that gradually changes from thick and heavy at the tail to thin at the head. The barrel is about nine feet long. The five-inch-one-minute naval gun, which weighs about 2,000 kilograms, has a range of more than 800 steps. It can be loaded with solid or explosive bullets weighing nine kilograms, and can effectively penetrate a four-inch-thick wooden deck within 300 steps. "
"Unfortunately, it has not been built yet."
Yin Zhengmao is a naval officer. Of course he cares about naval guns. Today's powerful general guns have too many shortcomings. The cannon must be at least five thousand kilograms. This load capacity can be replaced by food and fresh water, which can effectively increase the endurance. The new cannon casting method can effectively reduce the weight and increase the power of the artillery.
The naval gun is still under trial production. When he returns home this time, he wonders if he can get such a more powerful and lighter artillery.
Yin Zhengmao followed the emperor's footsteps and visited the cannon-casting factory of the Military War Bureau. He especially had questions about the thickness of the water cooling and the weight of the cannon wall.
Zhu Yijun explained: "The explosion at the tail is the most powerful, so it is the thickest. It is also light-headed and heavy-footed, which can also maintain the center of gravity and make the artillery more stable. The reason for this design is because of this picture, the explosion Power graph ”
"This is the result of degree bypass. The specific measurement method is like this."
Zhu Yijun explained the concept of lower chamber pressure. He drilled holes in different parts and filled them with lead. After the cannon exploded, The depth of the lead being ejected and penetrating the board is a concrete manifestation of the chamber pressure.
The rear chamber pressure is high, the gun wall is thick, and the front chamber pressure is small, the gun wall is light and thin. The purpose of this is to reduce weight without affecting the performance of the artillery, especially its service life. .
Yin Zhengmao has been shocked to the point of numbness. His Majesty has really spent a lot of effort in order to strengthen his military strength.
Yin Zhengmao will stay in the capital for half a month, mainly to participate in the court meeting and determine the county-level plan for Luzon. Before Yin Zhengmao came to Beijing, Zhang Juzheng had already written to Yin Zhengmao. It has been explained in detail.
Yin Butang returned to Beijing and lived in the Quan Chu Guild Hall. He was a member of the Chu Party, a direct descendant of Zhang Juzheng, and Zhang Juzheng's trump card in defeating Gao Gong.
It was night, Zhang Juzheng specially opened a bottle of Guojiao, Sweet Potato Shao, which is the wine brewed by His Majesty himself. It is a spirit of distilled wine. Zhang Juzheng poured it for Yin Zhengmao and said: "Brother Shi Ting, this cup "Wine to toast the hero."
Yin Zhengmao was twelve years old than Zhang Juzheng.
Zhang Juzheng admired Yin Zhengmao very much. Wen Jinshi led the troops in war, which was a thankless job. If he lost, he would die, but if he won, he would win on the battlefield under the strong public opinion of Xingwen and Wu. , lost in the temple, so Yin Zhengmao personally led the troops to fight, he was a hero.
"Brother Shi Ting, please return the Quanchu Guild Hall badge to me tomorrow." Zhang Juzheng drank it all in one gulp and said with a smile: "Why do you say that now Yin Butang has the surname of the country? The rules Can’t be broken.”
"I sent several letters to Guangzhou in the past, repeatedly urging the ministers to restrain themselves, but the ministers refused to listen. Now I have no choice but to go to sea and cannot come back."
Yin Zhengmao finished his drink and shook his head and said: "You can't restrain yourself. If you travel a hundred miles, you will be half ninety. Seeing that the Japanese are successfully pacified, you will be rewarded even more. I, Yin Zhengmao, have the greatest achievement in my life, which is to quell the Japanese invaders in Guangdong and Guangxi. As for the attack on Luzon, it is just a matter of providing supplies to the foreign soldiers." It's just a way out."
"There is no place for them in the Ming Dynasty, so it is just right to go to Luzon."
"It is true that there is Zhu Wan before me and Hu Zongxian behind me. I, the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, Pinghai. Kou may not necessarily end up well. Sometimes I think that dying on the battlefield is better than winning on the battlefield or losing in court. But people in the southeast are used to seeing the misery in the world, so they can't help but fight against the Japanese."
Yin Zhengmao could understand the meaning of protection in Zhang Juzheng's letter, but after he received the mission to pacify the Japanese, he had only one way to go. Kill all the Japanese who dared to invade. This was his only way. .
"Who burned the palace?" Yin Zhengmao asked with a frown.
Zhang Juzheng was silent for a moment and said: "Leaded by Zhang Siwei, Wu Dui, and Fang Fengshi, the clan party involved in Shanxi alone exceeds 24 people, including Yang Bo's family members and Wang Chonggu's family members. In terms of execution, A total of 1,728 people."
"So many?" Yin Zhengmao said blankly, "I'm afraid he will be scolded."
"Just get scolded." Zhang Juzheng shook his head and said: "There are some grievances that your Majesty cannot bear. It is not a big deal for a minister to be scolded."
"I don't think so." Yin Zhengmao disagreed with Zhang Juzheng's statement. He said solemnly: " Yuan Fu’s new policy will be a concrete breakthrough. Needless to say, Yuan Fu is here, but without him, it must be the beginning and breakthrough of counterattack.”
Yin Zhengmao clearly knew Zhang Juzheng's ambition.
Please give me a monthly ticket, wow! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !
