In the days when I was dressed as the king of a subjugated country

As soon as the results of the palace examination came out, the capital was naturally bustling again.Yang Tingbi won three yuan in a row. In addition, his friend Jiang Wenyuan and others also achieved good results and were selected as Shuji scholars of the Imperial Academy.

After the Qionglin banquet, Gu Li called him into the palace alone, took Zhen'er with him, and had dinner with Yang Tingbi.

Gu Li had his own plans. Zhen Er's lecturers were all elderly men, unsmiling, stern, and pedantic. It was inevitable that Zhen Er would feel intimidated and unable to develop interest in learning.Yang Tingbi is young and handsome, and his personality looks good. Maybe you can try to let him give lectures to Zhen'er.

Listening to Gu Li mentioning that it is not easy to enlighten His Highness, and asking him if there is any good way, etc., Yang Tingbi immediately guessed that maybe His Majesty wanted him to give lectures to His Highness.Yang Tingbi was naturally happy, following Gu Li's words, after dinner, Gu Li asked him to come into the palace from tomorrow morning, and give Zhen'er a three-month class to see the effect.

Yang Tingbi couldn't help being overjoyed, thanked Shengen, passed by the government office when he left the palace, and happened to see Prime Minister Mu leaving the office and walking back slowly.

A while ago, because His Majesty borrowed his way to lead out of Beijing, Prime Minister Mu arrested and questioned Yang Tingbi, but Prime Minister Mu did not embarrass him, so there was no quarrel between the two of them.For this immediate boss, not to mention flattery, at least the etiquette that should be done needs to be done well.

Yang Tingbi greeted and saluted Prime Minister Mu. When Prime Minister Mu saw him, he smiled and said, "So it's Yang Hanlin, did you just come out of the palace?"

The two exchanged some pleasantries, and Yang Tingbi walked back with Prime Minister Mu.Seeing that Prime Minister Mu was full of worries, Yang Tingbi asked, "Is Prime Minister worrying about Liaodong?"

Prime Minister Mu said: "There are Jiao Liewei and Dong Peng guarding Liaodong, and Yan Zanhua is also a smart man. With the three of them, as long as the military expenditure keeps up, there will be no major chaos in Liaodong."

Yang Tingbi said: "Why is the prime minister so worried? Could it be..."

He thought of the man His Majesty brought into the palace. Although he heard from the courtiers that he was an envoy from the distant country of England, Yang Tingbi remembered that this man spoke Chinese very fluently, and he once lived across from his house. , and later caused His Majesty to vomit blood, how could this man look like an envoy?

A gentleman doesn't talk about people's right and wrong, so Yang Tingbi naturally wouldn't gossip around, but just thinking about the possible relationship between this person and His Majesty, he vomited blood.

Others can't tell, but Prime Minister Mu can always see something. Could it be... Is Prime Minister Mu worried about this matter?

Yang Tingbi was overjoyed, and his heart was pounding.

But I heard Mu Chengxiang say: "Recently it has been raining for several days in a row, and it's not yet the rainy season."

It turned out that Prime Minister Mu was worried about the flood.

Yang Tingbi couldn't help being a little disappointed, when Prime Minister Mu mentioned the flood, he also remembered that since the beginning of spring this year, there has been more rain.

He said: "Didn't His Majesty ask the Ministry of Industry to repair canals and build water conservancy?"

"These are big projects that need to be persisted for many years. How can they be so immediate." Prime Minister Mu thought of Nie Guangyu and Xia Xingcheng who were building water conservancy facilities outside. up.

Prime Minister Mu said: "Do your best and listen to the destiny. It's useless to worry about it. Forget it, let's not mention it. Is Yang Hanlin still used to being in the capital? I remember you are from Huguang."

Yang Tingbi said: "Except for the dryness in the north, everything else is fine."

Prime Minister Mu smiled, and the two chatted for a while. Prime Minister Mu said: "Yang Hanlin is talented and knowledgeable, and his ideals and ambitions are different from the conventional ones. Let's have lofty aspirations."

Yang Tingbi smiled and said, "I can't talk about having lofty aspirations, I just hope to be a good official who pleads for the people."

When Prime Minister Mu heard this, his face showed a look of reminiscence for a moment, and he said with a smile: "To be a good official, you have to be smarter and more cunning than the bad guys!"

From the next day, Yang Tingbi went into the palace to give lectures to His Royal Highness.I thought it was only His Royal Highness, but I didn't know that there was a boy with a red mole on his forehead, it was said that he was Zhending Bo Zhou Ermao, and several eunuchs from Neishutang.The children were fine, and the envoy who was said to be from England was actually sitting by the side, listening to his lecture with a smile on his face.

When Yang Tingbi was stared at by him, he felt chills on his neck for a moment, like a concubine who was being scolded by the big house, trembling.

He mentioned it to Gu Li tactfully once, and Gu Li went to persuade Chen Feng not to stare at Yang Hanlin's class, because there is no son in class, and his father accompanied him.

Chen Feng said eloquently: "I just want to see how good this person is. Whether Zhen'er can carry your burden as soon as possible depends on these masters and officials."

Gu Li had no choice but to leave it to him.Fortunately, after a few days, the sailors and helpers brought by Chen Feng from Europe came to Beijing as envoys. They also brought a few samples of firearms and handed them over to Wang Gongchang for research. Chen Feng wanted to arrange them, but he had no time Let's take care of Yang Tingbi.

Yang Tingbi heaved a sigh of relief, but the troubles were not over yet. Today, when he was talking about the way of a gentleman to His Royal Highness, His Highness suddenly said: "But Dad said, don't worry about what method you use, as long as you can achieve your goal, sir. How can a gentleman do something and not do something?"

Yang Tingbi is not a pedantic person, so he immediately talked to Zhen'er about the dialectical relationship between legalist power tactics and the way of a gentleman, and taught him: "Distinguishing right from wrong is called what a gentleman does and what he does not do; in order to achieve his goal, he takes extraordinary measures, perhaps It may not be understood by people for a while, but as long as it is for the sake of justice and righteousness, you can do it. The principle of governing the country, in the final analysis, is Confucianism on the outside and the law on the inside. Your Highness should not be too rigid, nor too cunning."

After explaining in this way, who would have thought that Zhen'er would ask him many strange and strange questions, and she kept saying "but Daddy said..." Some questions, Yang Tingbi could answer them, but some were tricky and weird. Once he asked him why some people's eyes are green and blue, which touched Yang Tingbi's blind spot of knowledge.

and also--

"Your Highness must address Your Majesty as Emperor Father, not Daddy."

Zhen'er nodded, and when she returned to Qianqing Palace and saw Chen Feng, she happily called him: "Father!"

Gu Li was drinking tea and reading the memorial, when he heard this, he didn't choke on the tea.Chen Feng patted Zhen'er's head with a smile, and said complacently: "Baby, just keep some things in mind, don't say them."

Gu Lichong waved to Zhen'er: "Chen'er, come to Father Emperor."

Zhen'er stepped forward, grabbed Gu Li's arm and sat in his arms.Gu Li asked: "Who taught you to say that?"

"It's Mr. Yang!" Zhen'er had an excellent memory, and repeated Yang Tingbi's words. Gu Li asked, "Did you mention your father in class?"

Zhen'er nodded.

Gu Li taught him: "From now on, don't mention daddy in front of others, and don't call him daddy in front of others, do you understand?"

Zhen'er nodded ignorantly.

He patted Zhen'er on the head and asked him to go to Chen Feng to have Chen Feng check his homework.

When Chen Feng's men hired in Europe arrived in the capital and were placed in the Sifang Pavilion by the Ministry of Rites, the batch of firearms was also transported to Ningyuan by sea.

Gu Li also specially sent a bodyguard with Chen Feng's seal to keep watch all the way to prevent the firearms from being confiscated during transportation.This batch of firearms boarded Ningyuan first, and Ningyuan's commander-in-chief planned to sign for it. The guard got Gu Li's oral order, except for Jiao Liewei himself, no one was allowed to deliver the firearms.

Jiao Liewei was on the front line of Jinzhou at this time, and the Ningyuan General Soldier sent someone to follow the firearms transport team to Jinzhou.Unexpectedly, just [-] kilometers away from Jinzhou, they were actually ambushed by Jianlu.

There may not be a full 1 people in this group of ambushes!Could it be that they all came here to rob after hearing about the firearms?This place is too small, just between Ningyuan and Jinzhou.

This guard also trained with Xie Lian. He had expected that he might encounter an ambush on the way, so he was brave enough to stand in front of the firearms transport convoy with his weapons drawn. In his team, there were ten others brought by Chen Feng. His subordinates and others have already entered Beijing disguised as missions.

In addition to these people, there were more than 100 soldiers sent by the Ningyuan General Soldier to help escort them. The guards originally thought that there were only so few people, and they wanted to fight against Jianlu.Unexpectedly, these blond-haired and blue-eyed Fanyi were extremely tough, and they took a few guns from the convoy and fought with the Jianlu.

How did he know that the group of people employed by Chen were all from the Netherlands. They often fought pirates, and they had already developed their skills. When they fired a shot, one of them fell off the horse.

The guards were about to breathe a sigh of relief, at this moment, a group of people came galloping from the direction of Xingshan City, looking far, it seemed that there were tens of thousands of people.The leader shouted in fluent Chinese: "Stop beating! Save yourself! Damn you!"

The guards heard him speak fluent Chinese, and when they got closer, they could see clearly that these people were all wearing Da Chu's military uniforms, but they didn't know what he meant by telling everyone not to fight.

The general has rushed up and is fighting with Jianlu.

The guard thought to himself, this trick is wonderful!He is clever and quick-witted, and he has already figured out that this may be his own people spreading suspicions and spreading news of new firearms. With such a piece of fat hanging in front of his eyes, how can Jianlu, a dog, not be greedy?However, this is really a dangerous move. Although our side has set up an ambush in Xingshan City and other places, if the timing is not good and there is no time to rescue, all these firearms will fall into the hands of Jianlu.

I don't know who came up with such a strange and dangerous strategy.

Just as he was thinking about it, a tall Dutchman beside him put his shoulders on the wheel and fired another shot, knocking off a Jurchen in heavy armor of bright light.The man fell to the ground, convulsed for a moment, and then died.

This made people see it, and they were secretly shocked. They didn't expect this batch of firearms to have such a terrible penetrating power.The general of Dachu felt sorry for the firearm, and shouted: "Okay! Don't fight! Don't hurt your own people!"

The Dutch seemed not to understand, and were still lighting the fuse.Only then did the guard realize that they could not understand much Chinese.He bowed and walked quickly to the Dutchman, patted him on the shoulder, and gave him a cross, and the Dutchman finally understood.

The two armies are fighting in one place, and it is indeed not suitable to use guns anymore.The general of Dachu was Fang Congjian. He has now been promoted to the defense of Jinzhou, he can lead [-] soldiers, and immediately commanded his men to charge and kill the Jianlu army in an orderly manner.

Jianlu saw that he couldn't please him, so he issued orders in privet language, and retreated while fighting.But they didn't know that another group of light cavalry came out on the way they came, and blocked the way they were going.

Among the light cavalry blocking their way, the leader smiled and said, "Dai Jiang, hello, we meet again."

Hearing his voice, the guards remembered that this person is Fu Langzhong, it seems that he was demoted to Liaodong, but he did well.

Dai Jiang had already suffered from Fu Shaoge's hands, so he didn't want to pay attention to him.Fu Shaoge sneered and said: "Old acquaintances want to see each other, why don't they say hello? Could it be that you don't understand Chinese? Tsk tsk, Dai Jiang, look at you, you've really lived and returned!"

Dai Jiang scolded angrily: "You despicable villain! I won't listen to you any more because of how eloquent you are this time!"

Fu Shaoge avoided the blade of a prisoner, and said with a calm smile: "Oh, look at your determined appearance, it seems that Abach has successfully educated you. But I am doing it for your own good, and Abach sent you here Send it to death!"

Dai Jiang snorted and urged the soldiers to fight with Jurchen words.Fu Shaoge dodged the blow, and continued: "Did Pu Junchen persuade Abach to be careful before coming here, but Abach still sent you out. Ask him why he didn't send his younger brother Azig? He just sent you Come? This is the difference between closeness and distance!"

Fu Shaoge's few words were like magic voices piercing his ears, and he said a few more words, which seemed to hit the seven inches, causing Daijiang to be in chaos for a while, and the army formation was smashed into a mess by Fang Congjian's impact.

Fu Shaoge smiled and said: "Dai Jiang, if you go back and ask Abach why he sent you but not Azig, Abach will probably say that you are familiar with Ningyuan and Jinzhou, and it is most appropriate to send you. But why don't you want to?" Thinking, whoever came here from unfamiliar to familiar, he is just protecting his shortcomings."

The guards on the side listened in amazement, it was scary that Fu Langzhong could stir up conflicts with just a few words.

Dai Jiang was already in a state of confusion, kept silent, charged wildly, and finally made a way out, barely retreating with the remnant soldiers.

The next step is to clean up the battlefield, count the dead prisoners, and strip off the armor for secondary use.Fang Congjian couldn't wait to jump off the horse, rushed to the front of the convoy, picked up an eagle-billed gun, stroked it lovingly, and said with tears in his eyes: "I never thought I would see you again in this life!" Fu Shaoge stood aside with his arms folded, tsk He sighed: "Why is this? If you say a few more nice words, it's not impossible for me to get it for you."

Fang Congjian ignored him, this dangerous trick of using firearms as bait was conceived by Fu Shaoge, unexpectedly Jiao Liewei, who was as bold as this, agreed, Fang Congjian was sweating while he was lying in ambush in Xingshan , I'm afraid that Jianlu will really ask Jianlu to intercept the firearm.

The guards followed them and finally sent the firearms to Jinzhou. Jiao Liewei counted the number himself, treated him to a meal, fed the horses, and sent him away the next day.

As for those Dutch people, Jiao Liewei stayed behind.Some of these new firearms they don't know how to use, just ask these people for advice.

Dai Jiang suffered a defeat and managed to escape with his life, but when he returned to Shengjing, he was laughed at by Hao Yitong.

Dai Jiang was sullen, and went to ask Abach for business. Those words were repeated in his heart. At the end of the conversation, he finally couldn't help asking: "Abach, Azig has more soldiers than me, why did you send me to Don't send him?"

Abach said: "You are more familiar with Jinzhou and Ningyuan."

Dai Jiang's heart felt cold, and he left in a daze.

Pu Junchen looked at the direction he left, with a trace of suspicion on his pockmarked face.Abach sighed, and said, "I knew I should have listened to you, and I would not have intercepted these firearms. So many people died this time, Jiao Liewei is cunning!"

Pu Junchen said: "Last time when we intercepted their guns, Jiao Lie jumped into a rage, so he would naturally be on his guard. But——he is not the one who is really cunning. In the Great Chu Army, there are other people who come up with a plan!"

It's time for Chen Feng to leave.

Not to mention Gu Li, even Zhen'er couldn't bear to part with him, so she tugged at his sleeve and cried, "When is Daddy coming back? Can you please stop leaving?"

Chen Feng patted his head: "Dad is not here, so you can't slack off in your homework. When Dad comes back, he will test you."

Zhen'er was even sadder for a while.
