Chapter 720: Krypton gold is Zhu Yijun’s greatest respect for war

Ma Fang, the chief military officer of Datong in the Ming Dynasty, the chief military officer of Xuanfu, the deputy chief soldier of the Jingying camp of the Ming Dynasty, the uncle of Yangcheng, and known as Lord Ma, is already very old. Since he fell ill in the sixth year of Wanli, he has been promoted from the deputy commander of the Beijing camp. After leaving office, he became a teacher at the Jiangwu Academy and trained a large number of generals.

In the ninth year of Wanli, Ma Fang was canonized as Yangcheng Bo by the Ming Emperor because of his military exploits.

Bo Mafang of Yangcheng had two sons. The eldest son was elegant and good at literature, good at poetry and craftsmanship. He often liked to associate with famous people, was arty, and disliked his father's many military affairs. He often said that a good man should not be a soldier, and a good man should not hammer nails. Since he was a child, he has refused to do much military training. As a martial artist, he hangs out with scholars all day long.

Lord Ma spent his entire life in the military and was very unhappy with his eldest son's behavior. He reported to Your Majesty that after his death, his title would be inherited by his second son.

And Ma Fang's second son, named Ma Lin, was skilled in bow and horse. He was able to gallop at the age of ten and was brave and good at fighting. He was already serving in the camp in the second year of Wanli. In the ninth year of Wanli, Anda was destroyed. Ma Lin accumulated military merit. He was promoted to the rank of general of the Third Cavalry Battalion and led the 3,000 troops of the Third Cavalry Battalion. He was the first to attack the enemy.

Ma Lin doesn't like his brother Ma Dong, because he always says that being the first to get into trouble will only lead to death!

When Ma Lin is angry, he will beat his brother Ma Dong to vent his anger, so that he doesn't have to say anything in the future. Ma Dong still wants to say that he is a traitor to the army by opening his mouth and keeping silent. A good man does not enter the elite through martial arts, but only through literature. Both Bo Fugui and Marin laughed angrily at their own brother.

Their father, Ma Fang, was once the horse slave of Anda Khan. If his father had not been brave and made many military exploits, would the Yangcheng Mansion be what it is today? !

It is normal for brothers to fight with each other. Ma Lin is brave and his elder brother Ma Dong does not practice martial arts. In addition, his father favors his younger brother, so his elder brother Ma Dong can only be beaten. However, after receiving so many beatings since he was a child, Ma Dong also never Not changed.

In the sixth year of Wanli, his father was seriously ill, and Ma Lin was suppressing bandits in Baoding Prefecture and could not return home. After the seventh year of Wanli, Ma Lin hurriedly returned home. His father was out of danger, which made Ma Lin relieved. What made Ma Lin strange was that this time My brother actually stopped mentioning any weird things about a good man not being a soldier.

When Marin asked, he almost got angry. He took a long knife and wanted to find someone to explain!

My brother Ma Dong was humiliated. In the past, Prince Ma Fang of Yangcheng was still powerful. These scholars did not dare to talk nonsense and were in awe of their brother Ma Dong. When Prince Ma became seriously ill, these young people began to reveal themselves. His original attitude was to call Ma Dong the son of a horse slave in private, but Ma Dong listened to him.

Even though he was granted the title of Uncle Yangcheng by the emperor for his military exploits, in the eyes of these scholars, Lord Ma was still Anda Khan's horse slave.

Ma Lin wanted to find someone to ask for an explanation, but Ma Dong stopped him because Ma Lin was still serving in the military camp. To trouble these despicable scholars was because the army was disturbing the people. Ma Lin returned to the camp because he would be expelled. Ma Lin finally held back. .

Ma Lin and Ma Dong always argue with fists and feet, but they have their own ideas. He believes that when the two armies are connected, they all rely on the bravery of the generals. If the generals are brave, the soldiers will follow suit. If they are brave and dare to advance, the generals will be brave. If you advance, the soldiers will be brave enough to take the lead.

That is, the general is not a coward, and the entire army is not a coward.

Marin says this and does this. In every battle, he charges forward, wears strong armor and is strong-willed, in order to get into the battle and get there first.

Ma Lin can use the Tiger Power Bow, and he can hit all ten arrows, and he can fight again the next day. His own bravery can support his fighting skills, but what makes him more depressed is that he cannot beat Li Rusong, who is of the same age. Sis, it’s okay to be strong, but your endurance is also strong.

There are three cavalry battalions in the Ming Dynasty. Since their establishment, they have been known as elite because the cavalry battalions have the best mobility of the Ming Dynasty. Because they are elite, the cavalry battalions are also the only army in the Ming Dynasty that can leave at will. A quick-response army that can set off immediately the next day upon order is the pride of the cavalry battalion.

Always be prepared!

This sentence is the foundation of the cavalry camp. When His Majesty needs it, the cavalry camp can respond to the dispatch at any time and eliminate all enemies who dare to invade.

Yesterday, everyone in the cavalry camp received an order to rush to Liaodong within ten days, capture Jiulian City within one month, and be ready to fight in Korea at any time. The next day, the 25th of the twelfth lunar month, was a clear morning. The sound of whistles and the sound of bugles resounded through the military camp. The cavalry camp woke up at the fifth watch. Before His Majesty arrived, they had assembled in the school field and were waiting quietly.

The Ming Emperor's car arrived earlier than everyone expected. When the gate of Deshengmen had just opened, His Majesty's car had already slowly driven out, arrived at Wuying Tower, and completed the ceremony in Wuying Tower. print.

When the horn blew, the figure of the young emperor of the Ming Dynasty, dressed in military uniform, walked out of Wuying Tower step by step in the fierce winter wind. This figure was so familiar to the soldiers of the Beijing camp, and the emperor of the Ming Dynasty walked firmly. He came to the school grounds and stood in front of all the soldiers who were marching forward.

"The Ming army is so powerful!"

His Majesty the Emperor's concise but powerful words resounded throughout the school grounds. He was still the familiar His Majesty. He did not have long speeches or any heroic words, but he used the simplest words to tell this unpeaceful world that those who openly commit crimes against strong men will not be punished. If you are far away, you will be killed.

"Your Majesty, mighty!"

The uniform shouts of the mountains and the sea echoed in the Peking Camp. The brothers in the Buying were very envious of the Qiying. The Buying would set off half a month later. Although the Buying could celebrate the New Year in their hometown, the Qiying was already here. The journey is underway.

"Generals, triumphant!" Zhu Yijun stood on the school field and gave his most sincere blessings to the departing Ming army for their triumphant victory.

"Triumph!"

Zhu Yijun looked at Li Rusong and said, "Let's get one."

Zhu Yijun asked Li Rusong to compose a military song. There were many military songs in the Ming Dynasty. These military songs were composed by the German King Zhu Zaiyu and sung in the military camp.

Li Rusong cleared his throat, whispered twice to the guards beside him, and then shouted loudly: "Be prepared, all of us are united! Mount Tai can be shaken!"

"If ten thousand people are united, Mount Tai can be shaken."

"Only loyalty and righteousness, bullfighting in anger!"

"The Lord will kiss me better than his parents; if he violates military orders, he will not be free."

"The orders are clear, the rewards and punishments are communicated, and you go through fire and water, dare you stay late?"

"Report to the emperor, come down to rescue the head of Guizhou. Kill all the Japanese slaves and find a prince!"

The music troupe of Taichang Temple, as the soldiers shouted in unison, began to beat the instruments in their hands in time with the singing. The majestic tone soon became passionate, and the wind of iron-blooded murder spread throughout Beidaying and beyond. .

"Six feet of iron bones are forged into a sharp sword, and an inch of loyalty is melted into the mountains and rivers."

"If you don't regret it in the end, a man should die in the wilderness. After a hundred battles, there is no need to return with his body wrapped in horse leather!"

"The flag is fluttering, the bugle is loud! The sword is unsheathed, thunder and lightning flash!"

"When we meet on a narrow road, the brave wins! Move forward, move forward, move forward!"

The urgent horn sound sounded again.

Zhu Yijun stood on the school ground, singing the military songs of the Ming Dynasty together with the soldiers, and watched the generals and soldiers go towards Beidaying Station.

This time the Ming army went to Liaodong on iron horses. War horses, logistics, and baggage were all transported by iron horses, not on legs.

Shengping No. 4 Iron Horse has only 48 horsepower. The iron carriage has eight sections in total. The two front and rear sections are the front of the car, one pulls and the other pushes. The remaining six sections can be used to load goods. Each section can carry about 128 people. The total horse and baggage required It took nearly a hundred iron horses to transport ten thousand people to Liaodong, and water and coal had to be replenished along the way.

Although there are many inconveniences, if you ask the soldiers how they like to march, the soldiers will loudly answer, by car!

Although it is tiring to ride in the car, it is even more tiring to walk there. Riding in the car is the emperor's grace.

Marin came to the iron horse and looked at Shengping No. 4 who was already warming up the car. He loved and hated this thing. He loved it because it naturally saved a lot of energy, but hated it because it took away the limelight of the riding camp.

"This coal-eating iron horse is really a weapon for war. However, as soon as this thing came out, it seemed that our riding camp was very stupid." Ma Lin said with a smile to Li Rusong.

"Wouldn't it be better to save some energy to kill the Japanese pirates? This thing is really expensive. Do you know how much coal it takes to make a trip to Liaodong? Sixteen thousand kilograms, the two iron horses at the head and tail will be eaten. Thirty-two thousand kilograms of coal, one hundred cars, would cost 3.2 million kilograms of coal." Li Rusong also loved and hated it. He loved it because it reduced the burden on the soldiers, but he hated it because it was too expensive.

But since His Majesty pays all the bills, I don’t hate it so much.

The march alone, not counting the construction of roads, iron horses, and carriages, would cost His Majesty the Emperor thirty thousand silver for more than three million kilograms of coal alone.

Ma Lin counted with his fingers and said: "Thirty thousand silver, sixty thousand shi of grain, if you calculate it, it's not a loss. Otherwise, these 10,000 cavalry camps will be eaten by horses and run to Liaodong. Just this section The road requires 70,000 shi of food, not counting grass beans. Inside and outside, your majesty earns 10,000 shi. The more you use, the more your majesty earns.”

"Seventy thousand dan is not enough, let's say at least 80,000." Li Rusong did the math for himself. He sighed and said, "I'm almost forty, and I was beaten by my father yesterday. It's really annoying. What do you think we should do?" You have already reached the position of Staff General and Deputy Chief Soldier, and you still have to take the arithmetic test? And everyone has to pass it, dear, this cultural class is given to me, my brain hurts.”

When it came to the arithmetic exam, Ma Lin immediately became the same enemy as Li Rusong. He felt the same way. He was also beaten. He said angrily: "Study, study is nothing! I was beaten by my father yesterday. You said seventy How come you are still so strong when you are dead?”

Li Rusong, like Ma Lin, doesn't like to study, but he can't do it without studying. Otherwise, how can he lead troops to fight if he doesn't even know how to calculate military rations? I can only bite it hard. Logically speaking, there are accountants in the army, and generals like them do not need it. However, in the military song, it is said that the general will kiss me, which is better than my parents. The general and the soldiers must be educated.

"If I can stop studying and kill as many Japanese pirates as possible, I will be happy!" Li Rusong said with a smile.

Marin patted the carriage, looked back at Peking University Camp, and said with a smile: "You have a pretty good idea. Let's go to the front line."

Zhu Yijun saw the emperor's uncle Zhu Zaiyu playing with an instrument at the height of Wufeng Tower in Beitucheng. This instrument was at least the size of a desk and as tall as a person. The head of the instrument had a very long and large The halter is made of leather and is retractable. The halter is hung on a long wooden box. There is an escalator at the end of the long wooden box, and Zhu Zaiyu is standing at the end.

There is a canopy cover at the end of the long box. The cover is also made of leather and is opaque, and Zhu Zaiyu's whole body is hidden inside.

Zhu Yijun could recognize the emperor's uncle because he was wearing the prince's uniform.

"What are you doing, uncle?" Zhu Yijun asked in confusion.

"Huahua, that is His Royal Highness Prince De's drawing board." Feng Bao looked in the direction of Zhu Zaiyu and said in a low voice.

As a scientist, it is very reasonable that he can compose music and also paint at the same time. Zhu Zaiyu always likes to make various inventions, and this device is his latest optical invention, the viewfinder.

Feng Bao asked the small yellow door and brought a drawing. Then Feng Bao held the drawing and said: "This is the principle. The light passes through the convex mirror in the front and enters the camera obscura. The object image is reflected in the built-in reflector, and the thin film is reflected." Rice paper is spread on the reflection to trace the image. ”

(Darkroom drawing board schematic)

"This is a painting by His Royal Highness Prince De." Zhu Yijun looked at the drafts drawn by Zhu Zaiyu one by one. These paintings are all landscapes, mountains, rivers, pavilions and other objects painted by Zhu Zaiyu. Each one is lifelike. , the composition of each piece is very ingenious, each piece is a work of art, and the proportions of large and small near and far make the proportions of the entire picture more coordinated.

However, these drafts, which can be called works of art, have no names. It can be seen that after Zhu Zaiyu completed them, he was not very satisfied with these paintings. They were thrown aside and compiled into a volume by the secretary.

During the painting process, Zhu Zaiyu chose to use optical image mapping to make the proportions of the picture more harmonious.

"Let's go and have a look." Zhu Yijun went up to the Wufeng Tower, and Zhu Zaiyu happened to come out of the awning with a pencil. He saw His Majesty, holding a rolled scroll in his hand, bowed his head and said: "See your majesty, your majesty greets you."

"Your Majesty, uncle, are you very polite? Are you finished with this painting?" Zhu Yijun asked Zhu Zaiyu if he had completed the map of the expedition to aid Korea and fight against the Japanese.

Zhu Zaiyu handed the scroll over and said a little shyly: "Your Majesty, I haven't finished the painting yet, it's just a sketch."

Zhu Yijun opened the scroll. The scroll was indeed a sketch. Most of the characters were outlined in shape, but the whole picture was very complete. On the outline of the city wall of Beidaying, there were drums and horns, flags rolling in the winter wind, and the emperor on the school grounds. Watching the soldiers march off in an orderly manner, Li Rusong and Ma Lin stood in front of the iron horse talking and laughing, relatives were bidding farewell on the platform, and some scholar-bureaucrats were whispering to each other.

"Can we get rid of these scholar-officials? It's a bit of an eyesore." Zhu Yijun looked at this picture of aiding Korea and fighting against the Japanese. He was not satisfied with these scholar-officials who were whispering to each other. The main overall atmosphere was solemn and solemn. These scholar-officials could only whisper to each other. That's all, he's still gesticulating with his hands outstretched, which is worse than the people watching.

"I also feel that it is a bit inappropriate. When I perfected the sketch, I removed them all. Adding some flowers, plants and trees to the empty space is better than them." Zhu Zaiyu said with quite approval. His Majesty was completely naked. Regardless of his artistic ability, Queen Wang has worked hard for more than ten years, but His Majesty still knows nothing about music theory, and his painting is at the level of simple drawings.

But there is no problem with His Majesty's aesthetics. These scholar-bureaucrats are indeed disharmonious in the expedition plan.

It is very impolite to point at others, but at least a dozen of the courtiers and pen officials who came to see him off were pointing at the soldiers.

It's very, very rude!

"I have been tinkering with some materials recently, hoping to permanently etch this moment on a plate. The copper plate is plated with a layer of silver, then fumigated with iodine, etched on the viewfinder, and then fumigated with mercury, but the picture is still a bit blurry. , I am looking for a material to remove the unchanged silver to make the picture complete. It is not finished yet." After Zhu Zaiyu put the scroll away, he told His Majesty the Emperor his progress in optics.

Copper plate, silver plating, photo etching, mercury vapor development, Zhu Yijun keenly extracted the key words. After a good chat with Zhu Zaiyu, he realized that Zhu Zaiyu was stuck in the last step. There was no photosensitive mercury iodide. Having become the culprit of destroying the picture, Zhu Zaiyu is trying to find a way to wash away the mercury iodide.

Iodine was named by Zhu Yijun. Iodine was obtained by treating kelp extract with green vitriol oil.

Since the kelp king Yao Guangqi led fishermen to plant kelp in Shandong, Ming Dynasty has been very interested in what is in kelp that can be effective in treating big neck disease. After a long process of extraction, he finally discovered the black-purple kelp through green vitriol oil. The steam is on the glassware, and the iodine is treated with wine to obtain iodine.

Green vitriol oil is sulfuric acid, which has been used by alchemists in the Han Dynasty. By the Tang Dynasty, it was no longer a secret. For example, the Tang Dynasty's "Yellow Emperor Jiuding Divine Alchemy Sutra" contains a method of refining stone gallbladder to extract the essence. sulfuric acid.

According to research conducted by the Institute, iodine is a very powerful disinfectant that can kill a large number of pathogenic bugs for a long time. It is very suitable for use in various surgical operations, including burns, freezing, knives, scrapes, and contusions. Very practical.

This time the army went on an expedition, 120 boxes of iodine were sent to the front line with the army.

Zhu Yijun adopted the usual old method of aiding Korea and fighting against Japanese invaders this time, using money to smash them.

Krypton gold is Zhu Yijun's greatest respect for war.

"Asphalt and white wax have been used for etching before, but the imaging was too poor, so did they switch to copper plates and silver plating?" After Zhu Yijun and Zhu Zaiyu had in-depth exchanges, they learned that the original technology had already been iterated once, the asphalt etching method , it also needs to be cleaned continuously with vegetable oil to remove unhardened asphalt.

This method of poor imaging and long exposure time was quickly abandoned by Zhu Zaiyu. The current daguerreotype photography method is in the final battle. What should be used to wash away the reddish-brown unimaged silver iodide? Zhu Zaiyu Recent research.

"Yes, the images of asphalt and white wax are too blurry and can only be used as a reference for painting. However, some old scholars in the Gongyuan opposite the Royal Gakuin always scold us for playing with the art of spiritualism, and demand that our Gongyuan The viewfinder could not be pointed at their Gongyuan, and I made trouble several times, but was driven away by the Tiqi team." Zhu Zaiyu shared the frustrations in the development.

"Oh, then let the Gongyuan move away. I will find a new place for them. The old Gongyuan opposite the Qintian Prison has been cleared out. Let them go back." Faced with the multiple-choice question, Zhu Yijun chose to stay. Gewuyuan.

"Ah? Thank you, Your Majesty." Zhu Zaiyu shared it casually. He was simply sharing it with Your Majesty for fun. After all, these old scholars call this thing Soul Conjuration, which is somewhat fun.

A convex lens, an aperture, a copper plate, plated with silver, can suck people's soul into a black box? The imaginations of these old scholars are always so strange. Instead of thinking of the infinite truth of all things, they think of strange things.

But His Majesty still punished these old scholars for their nonsense.

The Gongyuan was burned down in a fire in the seventh year of Wanli. It was all about culture and education. The ministers in the court were unwilling to spend money to rebuild it, so they placed the Gongyuan opposite the Royal Gewüyuan. As a result, they are now in trouble, and the emperor has driven these old scholars back. Went to Laogongyuan.

The old Gongyuan was just cleaned up and not rebuilt. It was cold and freezing, but it was warm even if you squeezed in.

"This thing is made of silver. It must be very expensive. Does the Royal Gewuyuan need silver?" Zhu Yijun has not given money to the Gewuyuan for a long, long time. When it was first built, he gave 500,000 silver. Later, Zhu Zaiyu was secretive about the money. He spent one million silver to research reciprocating steam engines. Since then, Zhu Yijun has not allocated any funds to the Institute of Science and Technology.

"No, these are just gadgets. They don't cost much silver. They cost three thousand silver. Your Majesty, Gewuyuan has 500,000 silver. If there is any shortage in the army's expedition, you can use it. Gewuyuan doesn't have any silver for the time being." place." It's not like Zhu Zaiyu doesn't care about state affairs at all.

Zhu Zaiyu was willing to compose music for the Beijing camp, and the army set out. Zhu Zaiyu came to Beitucheng to draw a campaign plan for the army. Either he knew nothing about political affairs, he was just too lazy to put in the energy, and the Ming Emperor's connivance also made him With this confidence to ignore the ghosts of people's hearts, His Majesty chose one of the two, Gewuyuan.

Zhu Zaiyu discovered that other yamen in the Ming Dynasty would hand over their profits to the state and internal funds, more or less, and even the Jieguyuan would hand over part of their profits. Those who sell medicines make more money than those who sell laughter. A large dose of cockroach juice (New Rehabilitation Liquid) can make Jiejiyuan earn hundreds of thousands of silver a year, but only Gewuyuan does not have to hand over profits.

Gewuyuan makes money by licensing technologies, such as reflecting telescopes, steam engines, various hydraulic tools, and various spinning wheels. Although it does not make much money, it has also saved some money over the years. The Emperor is Chi Daohe Kaihai invested heavily and the internal funds were empty. After Zhu Zaiyu found out, he planned to take the initiative to hand over some profits.

"Keep it for the Five Classics doctors. I still have money here." Zhu Yijun said with a smile: "It's not like the Five Classics doctors really don't eat grains in the world. Don't let the Five Classics doctors work hard to scatter money."

"I obey the decree." Zhu Zaiyu didn't know much about the situation of national and internal funds, so he just told his majesty that there was it here, and if he wanted to use it, he said it directly.

"It's done, let me take a look." Zhu Yijun pointed at the scroll and said with a smile. Zhu Zaiyu paid great attention to this painting. Even the viewfinder in front of Zhu Yijun was a specially built large aperture viewfinder.

"Farewell to Your Majesty."

The New Year is coming soon, and His Majesty the Emperor is very, very busy. He has to go to the Wufeng Building in Peking University Camp to meet with the families of soldiers; he has to go to Huangjimen to meet with foreign officials, senior citizens, and ordinary people; and he has to go to the Royal Institute of Technology to meet with doctors of science and technology; I went to the Ten Kings City to meet my clan relatives; I went to the Xishan Coal Bureau to meet the craftsmen; I went to Nanhaizi to meet the coastal defense patrol inspectors and the relatives of Duntai Yuanhou; on the last day before the New Year, I also went to the Yangtze Hospital outside Chaoyang Gate to visit the children in the official residence. In the afternoon, I will meet with hundreds of officials to celebrate the New Year.

These are all tasks in addition to general affairs. In addition, the year-end audit of the Ming Dynasty has also been completed. The emperor also has to personally inquire some accounts, and the examination method will be published after the year. The examination results of all the officials in the capital are The Wenyuan Pavilion was being held, and the emperor also had to pass the examinations on the courtiers. All these had to be announced on a list, and naturally the emperor had to see them in person.

Zhu Yiliu said that in the position of emperor, a wise emperor will be scolded, and a foolish emperor will also be scolded. Being a foolish emperor will be miserable and being bullied, but being a wise emperor will be as busy as a donkey in a mill. He is absolutely right.

Zhu Yixuan could enjoy his rights without fulfilling his obligations, and his brother did the work for him.

Zhu Zaiyu looked at the emperor's back and sighed. Thirteen years have passed, and his majesty has only rested for eight months. He is still patrolling the south to fight with monsters and monsters. Now his majesty is passionate, but as time goes by, this enthusiasm will fade. , and how long can it last? The shadow of ultimate difficulty is growing day by day.

Zhu Zaiyu and Zhu Yijun, who were born nobles, did not particularly understand Zhu Yijun's diligence. In Zhu Yijun's view, these things were not a burden. On the contrary, he enjoyed them.

Until New Year's Eve, Zhu Yijun sat in Tonghe Palace, waiting for officials to come to pay New Year's greetings.

"Has the cavalry camp led by Li Rusong arrived in Liaoyang?" After Zhu Yijun sat down, he asked where the Ming army had gone.

"We arrived in Guangning yesterday, and we will definitely reach Liaoyang today. The snow in Chidao has been cleared. Your Majesty is at ease. Marquis Ningyuan personally went to Guangning to pick up the cavalry camp. Your Majesty, Li Rusong and Marquis Ningyuan have not been together for twelve years. It’s the New Year.” Feng Bao reminded His Majesty that for the sake of Li Rusong’s progress and to prevent the court from having any weird ideas, Li Chengliang would not let Li Rusong go home during the New Year.

It has been like this every year for twelve years. This is the first time in thirteen years that father and son are reunited at home.

"You will live up to me, and I will live up to you." Zhu Yijun said with certainty.

For Li Chengliang, this is also mutually beneficial. After Zhang Juzheng began to return power, the Ming Emperor's Zhenwu actions were even greater than Zhang Juzheng's. The court did not feel sorry for Li Chengliang in any way. In Liaodong, which already had a tendency to become a warlord, Li Rusong, as Li Chengliang's subordinate For the eldest son to be able to climb to such a high position and lead the elite cavalry battalion is a sign of the emperor's grace. If he continues to become a warlord, it means that both humans and gods have abandoned him.

They gave each other a chance to prevent things from getting out of hand.

"Minister Xuan, please come and see me." Zhu Yijun sat up straight and received the court official to wish him a happy New Year.

When Zhu Yijun met with the ministers, Liaodong was also immersed in the atmosphere of celebrating the Spring Festival. A year ago, there was a heavy snowfall. The auspicious snow heralded a good harvest, and next year it would be another good harvest.

"Oh, Old Zhao, tell me, when will His Majesty clear the land and collect the land tax in Liaodong?" Li Chengliang asked his old friend Hou Yuzhao with a smile on his face. This year, Liaodong has a good harvest, and the people are all in the pot during the New Year. Meat means celebrating the New Year.

In order to support the reclamation of wasteland in Liaodong, the Ming Emperor exempted Liaodong from imperial grain. This policy was not unique to Liaodong. For example, Gansu permanently exempted imperial grain. Liaodong did not say that imperial grain would be exempted forever, but after so many years, His Majesty did not say that it would be exempted.

"I have heard that, but you are so hard on His Majesty that he won't let you go." Hou Yuzhao frowned, stood up suddenly and said, "These cheap scholars in the court!"

Hou Yuzhao heard some rumors and didn't take it seriously at first, but now when he thought about the general environment of entering the North Korea to fight, he immediately realized that someone was going to take advantage of this opportunity to capture Li Chengliang, and the trap was set. !

People's words can kill people. As long as these casual rumors spread widely, no matter how beautifully the battle is fought, Li Chengliang will not be in a good situation. If others say what they say, three people will become a tiger. Maybe the Liaodong soldiers thought that Marshal Li had something. What idea do you have, dare to bargain with the emperor while taking advantage of the important event of resisting Japanese aggression.

"Fuck! I should have slapped these cheap Confucians with my big mouth in the capital!" Li Chengliang also reacted. His eyes widened, he slapped the table and stood up, and immediately said: "Song Jinglue, prepare the car, I want to go back to the capital! overnight! Just reply, Lao Zhao, you are optimistic about Liaodong, and whoever dares to talk nonsense will pull out his tongue!"

"You scholars are so evil!"

Li Chengliang can no longer celebrate the New Year with his son.

A rumor without beginning or end can drive Li Chengliang to this point. All the books these scholars read have read about this kind of conspiracy.

"Old Li, please be patient and sit down. It's not a big deal. Your Majesty always expects leniency to the enemy, otherwise I wouldn't ask you if you want to go to North Korea to guard." Hou Yuzhao thought for a moment, but felt that His Majesty was not If there was any grudge, I sat down and continued drinking tea, putting my hands in my sleeves.

"Eh? Yeah, Your Majesty is awesome, Your Majesty! Damn it, Your Majesty even thought of this." Li Chengliang suddenly remembered what His Majesty asked before going back to Liaodong, and he came to his senses.

Your Majesty's leniency to enemies is all-encompassing, including even lowly Confucian scholars.
