[Comprehensive History] Clothes are all over the world

The military supplies called "ham" brought by the Ming army are somewhat similar to the bacon Mubai has seen before, but both the aroma and the taste are more advanced. After the live animals are bled and cleaned, the pot is turned over Add some ham and stew together, without adding salt, the taste will be delicious enough.

Although there is still unavoidable fishy smell, it is much better than eating it directly. The two brothers of the Mu family, who have eaten prison food for a long time, can't forget the ham after eating a treat, especially the delicious, fragrant and oily ham. The ham bowl makes people want to eat it again.

The same is true for Mu Bai's more and more debt obligations.

The food in the barracks is also of different grades. Ordinary soldiers and militiamen who come to serve eat ordinary wheat cakes. Only officers can eat meat, let alone processed high-grade ingredients such as ham.

Mu Bai took a small sip because of his young age, the more he chewed, the more delicious it became. Afterwards, the two brothers gulped for a few days, but in the end he still couldn't suppress his greediness and his younger brother's longing eyes. Silently pinching the corner of the passing officer's clothes, he started the unequal trade of food for meat.

In fact, the main reason why the meal exchange activities of the two brothers of the Mu family can be carried out in full swing is because the army led by Guo Ying is stationed here to wait for the next order, and most of the soldiers are relatively free.

This is also the regular trimming time.However, during the entire process of capturing Mangbu Road, except for the hard work of crossing the river, there was basically no strong resistance, so the troops did not suffer any damage, and naturally the need for repairs was eliminated.

Of course, this does not mean that you can completely relax. In addition to gathering and reorganizing the local tribes, the commander must continue to conduct intelligence collection and terrain surveys.

It's just that this part of the work has nothing to do with most soldiers, so after completing the basic training and preparations, these soldiers started a rich and colorful spare time life.

Cuju, chuiwan, polo and even the most common archery corner. The colorful and fresh activities made the two children very excited. They are both boys.Xiaodou Ding Muwen was also "captive" by several soldiers who had brought his younger brother, and got special treatment to watch the game on his neck.

After discovering that these two kids were novices who didn't understand the rules at all, the soldiers who couldn't play in their idle time took the two kids to learn new skills with the heart of abuse.

But men, in their hearts, playing with children is basically the same as playing with children, not to mention that most of the soldiers are peasant children. severity.

What they pursue is the dogma of using the body to remember the rules.

Fortunately, Mubai and Muwen are solid, and they don’t mind being beaten at all when they play. The two children are both physically fit and have strong learning ability. After a while, when they help kick the ball back, they have already played well. , and soon took on the job of "little caddy".

The result of playing crazy is that at the end of the day, the two children have completely turned into mud monkeys, sweating and stained with dirt, and they can't even shoot cleanly.

This dirty look doesn't matter to the old men, it's unreasonable to make people and children like this, so several soldiers hooked up and scooped some hot water for them to wipe their bodies, and prepared a change of clothes , After a lot of tossing, the two children were deprived of the opportunity to thump on the ground the next day.

Brother Bing, who raised his son, severely criticized these Lengtouqing's behavior of taking the children to play high-energy-consuming activities. The weather is sweating and the cold wind blows, and it is easy to catch a cold. He even bathes people at night, just in case they get sick Who is responsible?

So Mu Bai and Mu Wen brothers could only sit on the sidelines and be the best spectators. Mu Bai is fine, observation is also a kind of learning. Lost interest in the game, and went to play with Ah Hua on short legs.

So, when Mu Bai followed the crowd out of the venue with an unsatisfactory face and wanted to pick up his younger brother, he was caught off guard and saw the scene where his little boy was hanging on his calf by all fours.

The young man with the extra leg pendant obviously has profound skills, and he still walks steadily despite the extra burden.

What was more eye-catching than Mu Xiaowen was the peacock in that man's hand.

Yes, mention it.

Ah Hua's two wings were pinched and fixed with one hand. Being controlled by this posture, Ah Hua had no ability to resist at all. All her pride and appearance disappeared, and her long tail screen drooped on the ground listlessly. Walking all the way to clean the road, it looks like a broom.

Even if it is a sacred bird in southern Yunnan, it is no different from an old hen in this embarrassing posture, and Ah Hua's kicking is not as strong as an old hen.

Under the cover of dangling bird feathers, the young man walked straight towards Mu Wen's finger.

Mu Bai: "..."

Brother, we have been separated for less than an hour!Why did you rely on another meal ticket?Did I treat you badly as a brother?

When Mu Bai looked up and saw the face of the little brother who was newly raped, he understood everything.

"Beautiful!" Mu Wen crisply said to his elder brother.

Yes, the young man caught by Mu Wen has a handsome face that is impressive, and Mu Wen... is an incurable face control.

Mu Bai sometimes doubts whether Mu Wen obediently followed him at that time, and was able to keep his well-behaved and cute younger brother's personality intact for a long time, whether it was because he was the brother of this kid's blood, or because of his good-looking face.

"Ah!" As if knowing that his elder brother was slandering him, Mu Xiaowen grinned, revealing a sweet and lovely smile.

Thanks to his younger brother, in Daming, a regular army with recruiting age, besides Mubai and Muwen, who are relatively eye-catching minors, Mubai found another child laborer—the young man who was hugged by Muwen's thigh. .

Coincidentally, this little brother is also the voice-changing soldier who found him on patrol.

When Mu Bai was caught, the other party was wearing a helmet. He didn't remember the other party's appearance at the time, but he remembered his voice, so when the other party asked about his situation, he recognized him immediately.

Since they are acquaintances (), it will be easy to handle, while Mu Bai tore his younger brother off his body, and re-acquainted with him.

The Corps of the Ming Dynasty today is basically the same group as when the country was founded. After 14 years after the founding of the country, the country's situation has basically turned from turmoil to stability, and the demand for professional soldiers has gradually decreased.

Although Emperor Hongwu did not reduce the army on a large scale in order to guard against the counterattack of the Northern Yuan Dynasty, he did not recruit new recruits either. Therefore, except for a small number of children from military families who joined the army, the regular troops of the Ming army today are basically older people. By.

In other words, the young people you can see in the army these days are basically the second or even the third generation of the army. They take advantage of the shelter and relationship network of the elders to seize the time to exercise and earn military exploits.

The name of this person is Mu Chun. It is said that he is only 14 years old this year, and was thrown into the battlefield by his old father who was a soldier at a young age.

What's more, Papa Mu didn't take his son with him to take care of him, but threw him into the army of his colleagues at will, becoming an ordinary soldier.

In ordinary battles, little soldiers are almost equivalent to cannon fodder, which requires a lot of nerves and a lot of trust in one's own children.Comparing your heart to your heart, if it is Mu Xiaowen... well, Mu Bai would definitely not dare to let him go, at least he would take care of him by his side.

However, Mu Chun is very satisfied with the current situation. Although he is young, his body is no different from that of an adult, and his daily training and patrols are consistent with his soldiers. There is no special treatment just because he has acquaintances in the army. Naturally, it is also the most common meal.

The only thing that is special is that although his weapons are also standard weapons, the craftsmanship is obviously much better than those uniformly distributed by ordinary soldiers.

Brother Mu Chun looked cold, but his personality was unexpectedly good. Seeing Mu Wen's gesture of reluctance to him with two tears in his eyes, he offered to teach the two children Sinology. The two children learn the local dialect.

Mu Bai, who coveted the three-foot green spear on Mu Chun's waist, swallowed his saliva and agreed to the deal. Except for Mu Xiaowen, who was forced to sit back on the table, so he slept with his head in his arms as a protest, the other two were right. This transaction is quite satisfactory.

"You should learn more now." Mu Chun said while writing textbooks silently on the paper with a Langhao pen made by Mubai, "When Yunnan recovers, His Majesty will definitely release some Engong quotas in Yunnan. There are not many Confucian scholars here in Yunnan. , the competition must not be fierce. You learn more now, and when the time comes, you can seize the opportunity, and you might be able to pass the exam in the capital."

Mubai rolled his eyes, shook his calf, and said seemingly unintentionally: "Can you be an official if you come to Beijing?"

"No, students must first go to the Imperial College to study when they enter Beijing, and His Majesty will select the best ones for employment." After Mu Chunmo finished a chapter, he handed it to Mu Bai, with a pair of black eyes that were extremely sincere, "Your foundation is very good. , there should be a good teacher. It’s just that what he teaches is slightly different from what is taught in Jingzhong now. I will give you some knowledge points and you can memorize them. You can find the other books. Memorization should be enough .”

He listed more than a dozen books in this list, Mu Bai wrinkled his nose involuntarily, took a breath and said sullenly: "Da Ming... can you still let monks be officials?"

"...Are you a monk?" Mu Chun froze, looking suspiciously at Mu Bai's inch-long head.

"I haven't shaved my head since I've been in prison for a long time." Mu Bai rubbed his head awkwardly.Then he answered a series of questions from Mu Chun, such as "Then why do you eat meat? Why don't you wear monk clothes? You can become a monk at such a young age." Finally, he came to the conclusion that it's over, his way of becoming a monk may be true. It doesn't work anymore.

Han monks really don’t eat meat, and the last flame in Mu Bai’s heart called “Is Mr. playing tricks on me” was extinguished, and his whole body became listless.

Mu Chun was also a little embarrassed, he touched his nose, although he did feel that the kid's hair was too short, but considering that this place is Yunnan, there might be special rules and he didn't think too much about it, and Mubai's words and demeanors were inconsistent. I don't have the spirit of a monk, and I have studied Confucian classics, so I naturally misunderstood it.

"Hey, you should think about it more. Your Majesty's management of monks is quite strict." Mu Chun hesitated for a while, but still persuaded, "Given your age and situation, I'm afraid you won't be able to obtain a degree in the future."

Mu Bai sighed, "I know, I just want to confirm again, but I don't want to be an official either."

Mu Chun was a little surprised: "Why? Is it bad to be an official?"

Mu Bai then shared his life ideals with his new acquaintances. When he heard that he wanted to go sailing to see the outside world, Mu Chun's expression suddenly became weird.

Seeing him like this, Mu Bai also felt a little bad, "Why, what's the matter?"

"Due to the disaster caused by the pirates, His Majesty ordered ten years ago that boards are not allowed to enter the sea. Anyone who dares to trade privately will be judged severely." Mu Chun looked at Mu Bai with a sympathetic expression, "This order Now, even fishermen are not allowed to go to sea, only tribute teams, foreign merchants, and official ships are eligible to go to sea, and civilians of Ming nationality are not allowed to go out."

"So... if you want to go out to sea, I'm afraid there is only one way."

"Be an official, and then go to sea in the name of an ambassador."

The author has something to say:

Mu Bai: System, come out of the system, look at what garbage world you have arranged!

system:……

Mu Bai: It’s fine if you don’t have anything you want, but you still have to make trouble!

system:…………

Mu Bai: This world is too unfriendly!I just put up with monks not being able to eat meat, why can’t they go to sea?

system:………………

Mu Bai: Tell me how you want me to do the task!I'm doing a task to promote clothes, and it's okay to beat them down first, so you have to give me a chance to beat them!How to do this now?Do I have to rebel first to be more promising?Then this task line is too long! ! !

system:……………………

The system is very innocent, and the system doesn't know why the plot has become like this. The system can't say anything or complain, and it's almost sick.

The system that was suffering from illness said that he was not motivated enough, and wanted a green liquid to restart, otherwise he would put Mu Xiaobai in the wild!

Daming’s coastal defense began in the Hongwu period, and has been adjusted several times since then according to the situation, but note that this is not a closed country, it can only be regarded as a closed door.

Daming did not prohibit foreigners from entering China, but only allowed their own people to go out, which did not have much impact on the acceptance and updating of new knowledge.Until the reign of Longqing (Jiajing’s son), Japan’s political situation was stable at that time, and the number of Japanese pirates was under control. In addition, Qi Jiguang had abolished the Japanese pirates before, and the coastal defense was safe, so the marine trade was officially opened and private commerce was allowed.

Because of this move, a large amount of overseas silver poured into Daming, which saved the life of Daming, which had basically run out of silver and copper coins and was in financial crisis. It is not a fuel-efficient lamp. Emperor Longqing was really a clear stream in the middle and late Ming Dynasty. Unfortunately, he died early and his son was crooked. If he had more time to take care of his son, the result would be different.

Capital is a double-edged sword. The benefits of ocean trade are huge, and it is easy to breed moths and capitalists. Capital is really not a good thing. When the regime suppresses it, capital is a dog wagging its tail. When the policy was relaxed, it immediately turned into a wolf.

Everyone understands the truth, and the regime also knows that capital cannot be released, but capital is cunning in that it will subtly assimilate the corruption of the people in the regime. In ancient times, many candidates were funded by capital to go to school (scientific examinations are very expensive). Candidates who pass the exam have to pay back their favors. Give the capital ten or twenty years, and it will be able to turn the younger generation into people who are inclined to themselves. At that time, just someone can help to leverage the lever to influence the policy, and it will be able to make the Capital is released.

The Qing Dynasty also saw the results of the Ming Dynasty, so even if they were not harassed by Japanese pirates at that time, they retreated directly. They even went a little further and added a lock-up.

In fact, a few hundred years ago, it would not have been a big problem for them to engage in closed-door policy. However, they encountered the Industrial Revolution, and there were differences between the East and the West, and because of the short-sightedness of the emperor, they missed several times from the West. The East is still a big country, and the steam engine weapons brought by it were ignored, which directly led to the West knowing the real situation of the Qing Dynasty) It is also fate.
