As a salted fish, I was forced to become the teacher of all ages

Ying Guogong said blankly: "He... still understands this?"

When drinking tea with Uncle Huai'an, I heard him complain about his son's incompetence—or rather, when Duke Ying and Uncle Huai'an get together to chat, most of them talk bitterness to each other. The daughter got into various troubles and couldn't get married...

But suddenly that prodigal son came here, which made Ying Guogong a little bit unacceptable: Can't a good gambler be a good gambler?Why go to the Shenji Camp to fiddle around?

Although what Huamanlou is doing is not a big deal, and it's not a particularly complicated thing, but this is not the right sign!

This is where the inferiority of human beings lies. It’s like the same roommates in the same dormitory, who are also LOL Kings of the Real God 2077 every day, but one or two of them won the first place in the class during the final exam, and the rest are all in the class. Failed, what do you think of those who failed?

It is estimated that if this is done, even the brothers will not have to do it.

Of course, Uncle Huai'an's situation is not that small. He was just upset for a moment, and his mind was on the right track again: "Wait a minute, Rong'er, are you sure that the firearms team's combat power has improved?"

Qi Wanrong nodded depressedly: "If that wasn't the case, why would my daughter be so angry? I spent so long in the Shenji camp, but I couldn't even think of such a simple solution, and I was humiliated by that Huamanlou..."

The so-called humiliation is purely fictitious, and what I have to say is that Hua Manlou's tactics broke her tactics...

But Ying Guogong's thoughts are no longer on his daughter: "Come on, prepare the horse, and go to Shenji Camp to have a look!"

Qi Wanrong was overjoyed: "Daddy, you want to help me? I knew it, Daddy is the best!"

Only then did Ying Guogong come back to his senses: "Ah? Ah... Take action... Oh, yes, Dad will go and have a look first, and then help you to study the details carefully! You just stay at home obediently, don't mess around, don't get into trouble , got it?"

After appeasing Qi Wanrong indiscriminately, Ying Guogong hurriedly went to Shenjiying to kill him.

In fact, it is said that Ying Guogong is too lazy to pay attention to such a trivial matter, and he said earlier that Guochao doesn't care about the development of firearms at all, so a big man like Ying Guogong doesn't care about Shenjiying-it's all Now that he's concurrently in charge, do you still expect him to be more considerate?

But the problem is that the situation has changed now, and the situation has changed in the past two days.

The matter is also very simple to say, just two words: grassland.

It has to be said that in the history of the Chinese Dynasty, the monarchs of all dynasties have had a headache for the nomads on the northern grasslands.The Xiongnu, Xianbei, Rouran, Turkic, Uighur, Khitan, Jurchen, Tatar, Oala, the nomadic peoples of this water have gone south to plunder. A generation of geniuses who know how to bend bows and shoot big eagles established Mengyuan, which can be described as...

Extremely irritable?

All in all, in the feudal era, it was customary for the nomads to go south to plunder, almost every winter, and from time to time, they would tear up the agreement with the Han Dynasty, turn their faces and deny people, and start wars at random.

Today’s Great Zhao is like Huamanlou’s former Ming Dynasty, with similar national borders, and the defense in the north is still the same line: Liaodong, Jingshi, Xuanfu Datong, and Shaanxi. In the words of the textbook, it starts from Shanhaiguan in the east and reaches Jiayuguan in the west— —That’s right, it is to build a defense line based on the Great Wall.

And Da Zhao's opponents are exactly the two that Huamanlou's previous life Daming confronted: Tatar and Wala.

Let alone Wala, a few years ago in Tatar there was a leader who could be regarded as a hero.

Tuotuo Buhua, who unified Monan, would naturally focus on Da Zhao's flowery world, but in fact, since the tribes recognized Tuotuo Buhua Khan's position, the Heavenly Sacred Khan's attitude towards Da Zhao has become more and more tough. The intensity of the looting is also getting stronger and stronger.

Just a few days ago, Xuanwuwei received an informant that Tuotuobuhua invited the leaders of various ministries to the meeting, and decided to send troops in late autumn, with the intention of invading Dazhao from Datong.According to the informant, this time is definitely not a looting, but an intention to completely bring down Datong, so all the ministries will use their best troops and gather [-] troops to attack on a large scale.

After hearing the report, there was an uproar in the DPRK: Who is this scaring?Damn it!

I have to say that Da Zhao and Da Ming have too many similarities. Their foreign policies are all the same: no marriage, no compensation, no cede land, no tribute. There is nothing to discuss about it, just smoke.

In the past, even relying on the sharp arrows in the city of Datong, the Tatars could return without success. However, the situation in Datong is a bit embarrassing now. There are 27 generals who sell salt and iron, and kill the good ones. Now Datong's military system is really corrupt, and people's hearts are floating. Under such circumstances, if you want to fight the Tatars, it is purely old birthday stars drinking arsenic. It's too long.

As a result, it became the most important thing for Beijing and China to support Datong and appease the soldiers in the border towns. However, the DPRK and China still have to deal with two problems.

First, is the news Xuanwuwei got true or false?Is it possible that Tuotuo Buhua clearly wants to fight Datong, but secretly detours to attack the capital, or Liaoji?

This is not impossible, so if Jingzhong dispatched a large number of people to Datong, but itself was in danger, who would be able to take the responsibility?

Second, even if the news that Xuanwuwei got is true, who should go and where should people be transferred to Datong Mansion for support?

The general leading the troops must be able to control the scene, otherwise the hearts of the people in Datong Mansion will not be stabilized.And the manpower to be transferred must also be elite soldiers, and they must be good at defending troops, otherwise it is better not to go - such as the local guards, going to it would be pure chaos.

Of course, it is even more unacceptable to go too much, after all, the capital is far more important than Datong.

And at this time, the Shenji Battalion suddenly increased its combat power, so there is something to be said about it.

16. Many people learn to be stupid when they learn

The story of the Tatar going south has been spread in Beijing, but Hua Manlou didn't know it at all.

He was such a prodigal and rotten gambler in his previous life, he didn't care whether Tatar went south, and he didn't want him to go to the battlefield anyway, so he naturally didn't have the concept of this aspect.As far as Huamanlou is concerned now, how could he pay attention to the border war because he was only thinking of joining scholars?

Ever since he escaped the catastrophe of Uncle Huai'an, "the world is nothing to worry about, it's better to lie down and have extra meals" has become his motto. I'm afraid he will pretend not to know even if he knows that the Tatar is knocking on his side.

After all, the capital is more than 700 miles away from Datong Mansion. In the previous life, it would have taken half a day to drive on the highway. What's more, in this era when there is no Malatang, it will take seven or eight days?

Human beings have a strange sense of distance. Even if it is a hundred miles, it feels quite far away. Even if you go out of the urban area, it feels like another world. In this case, wouldn’t more than 700 miles feel like the end of the world?

Therefore, the people in the capital don't care much about this matter, let alone the flowers all over the building.

After returning from Shenji Camp, Hua Manlou went home—anyway, when he went to Baihusuo, he could only take a nap in the air-ventilated public house, so wouldn't it be nice to go home to 'high bed and extra meal'?

What's more, there is a cute Qin'er waiting at home, isn't it more fun to tease dill than go to Baihu to reprimand those rough guys?

It's just that Qin'er didn't show any good face when she saw Hua Manlou, she just looked at him angrily.

Hua Manlou wondered, "What's the matter? Who messed with you?"

Qin'er pursed her lips: "I thought the young master would get better if he had an errand, but the young master is still like this."

Hua Manlou said speechlessly: "...what about me? This is not today...then what, Baihu has nothing to do..."

But Qin'er didn't believe it at all: "How can there be nothing to do? A man's family controls the army and dismounts to rule the people. I don't know the masters in the court, but I see the masters leaving early and returning late every day. But the young master just I arrived home after noon, so I must have not taken it seriously."

To be honest, ordinary maids and maids would never dare to show their faces to their masters like this.

But Qin'er is Qin'er after all, this little girl has been arranged next to Huamanlou since she entered the Huafu. Cautious.

What's more, Qin'er knows that she will be inseparable from Huamanlou for the rest of her life, so she puts all her heart on Huamanlou, as long as she thinks it is good for her young master, she will definitely do it - to put it bluntly , this little girl is a bit stubborn, she believes in authority, and the authority of the Hua family is in the hands of Uncle Huai'an, so Qin'er believes in Uncle Huai'an's words.

So naturally, in the eyes of the young Qin'er, the master is a big boss, so everything he does is right, so if the young master and the master do things differently, then it must be the young master's fault...

In addition, Qin'er basically didn't understand how the imperial court operated. In her heart, the lords in the court were busy with state affairs, and any decision was related to the basic necessities of tens of millions of people.And she doesn't know what kind of official Zongqi is. In her eyes, an official is a high-ranking official—to put it simply, Hua Manlou's responsibility is generally the law and order of the East Street, but in Qin'er's eyes, his responsibility is no less As a governor, he was very angry with the little girl in Huamanlou.

Hua Manlou was stunned. He really couldn't give the 12-year-old Qin'er Science Popularization Master Zhao Chaotang's assignment of functions and the current situation of Baihu Office on Xuanwuwei East Street, so he could only say: "Okay Well, today is the young master, isn't it, tomorrow I will be on duty at the head office?"

Qin'er immediately became happy: "It's a deal, the young master can't play tricks!"

Hua Manlou smiled wryly: "Okay, it's a deal."

From Hua Manlou's point of view, the former guy still has some merits. At least he won't beat and scold servants easily, and he won't put on airs at home. He used to get along with Qin'er so casually. That's fine.

Otherwise, with Hua Manlou's beating nature, he really can't pretend to be majestic in front of a 12-year-old loli. If the attitude changes too much, maybe the little girl will really think that the young master has bumped into something evil, and then invites a group of people to take it. Religious people with mahogany swords, staffs and bowls...

In short, Qin'er happily went to prepare lunch for Huamanlou, but Huamanlou herself smiled wryly: Don't even think about extra meals in the high bed, if you don't want to go back to the Yamen to force the night, worship the watch and go out to invade the morning 'In the days when the little girl is determined to be even more angry than today, she thinks that she has missed a major national event and caused countless people to be displaced and have children to eat...

What?You said that as the master, why would you care what a little girl thinks?

But in fact, the first person Huamanlou saw when he came to this world was Qin'er. At that time, he was in the water, and Qin'er was crying and calling for help on the bank, and then she was taking care of him by the couch in undressed clothes. Drowning made Huamanlou sick, if not for this, I’m afraid Huamanlou would have passed away as soon as he wore it—neither his predecessor nor Huamanlou himself could swim...

So you have to have a conscience, right?Especially for this kind of person who puts all his heart on himself, it's better not to lose.

With a sigh, Huamanlou summoned Chang Sui and said, "Go, find a bookstore and buy the Four Books and Five Classics, pens, inks, papers and inkstones, and then send them to my office in the Baihu Office on East Street."

If you can't go home early to catch fish, you can always read in the leaky public house, right?

Hua Manlou thinks that since he wants to join the circle of scholars, he must first have a clear understanding of the Four Books and Five Classics.Da Zhao’s imperial examinations also consisted of classics and meanings, practical style writing and policy theory, among which the classics and meanings are the most important, which is commonly known as stereotyped essays.

The scope of the stereotyped exam is so small, so why is it said that the stereotyped part is difficult?The main reason is that the eight-part essay is divided into several parts, such as breaking the topic, inheriting the topic, starting the lecture, entering the topic, etc., and the essence of it is the starting section, the middle section, the back section, and the bundle section. These four parts cannot be written casually. Parallel couplets.

This thing is very old-fashioned, even if you want to write one more word, many people write and make up at the same time, just to make up the number of words to achieve the dual effect. The text looks very neat on the surface, but the content is full of nonsense and a mess.

In this regard, because the scope of the scriptures is too small, the examiners always like to separate the Four Books and Five Classics, take the upper and lower sentences and put them together, or cut the beginning and the end and take the middle to take the exam, and they have to imitate the sage's words, so many People learn to be stupid when they learn. This is very similar to a Chinese student who has studied grammar for many years but can't speak English at all...

So is Hua Manlou afraid of this thing?

Don't be afraid!

Where is the scope of the subjects of the college entrance examination not wider than the classics?And about writing questions, who are the students of the Celestial Dynasty afraid of? How many times do the papers done in a year circle the earth?

Of course, although I have to find a teacher to explain the stereotyped format, but first memorize the Four Books and Five Classics!

Although the long follower didn't know why Hua Manlou went crazy and wanted to read the Four Books and Five Classics all of a sudden, but after all, he was not Qin'er, so he had to go if the young master ordered him.

But after a while, this guy ran back again, and he brought a message to Hua Manlou: "Master, the master is back, please go to the front hall to meet the guests."

Hua Manlou's heart tightened: There was no movement a few days ago, and I thought the rumors had passed, but now it's possible that the kiss is coming?

17. Act like it's at his house

Huamanlou thought it was her father who brought a matchmaker to the door, and the meaning was quite similar to "come to see the goods", look at the physical characteristics such as physique, teeth, whether they can be bred...

Oh, that's looking at the livestock.

But after all, kissing is to see people, right?

Speaking of which, in these years, is there really a subtle similarity between the two?

In short, at the moment when he heard the news, Hua Manlou jumped over the wall and escaped like Xuanwuwei came to raid his home, but it was a pity that he abandoned the market at the slightest and was late at worst, so he could only walk back to the front hall at every step.

In fact, Huamanlou thinks too much: Compared with Qi Wanrong who can't get married, Huamanlou's market is actually worse, because Qi Wanrong simply can't get married, but those who are interested in Huamanlou It's a few middle-aged uncles...

That's right, it wasn't a matchmaker who followed Huai'an Bo to the Huafu, but Liu Jianian, the general of the Shenji Camp who pretended to be a failure, Huang Zichao, the general manager of the Shenji Camp who was not good at words, and Ying Guogong, the admiral of the Shenji Camp who didn't care much. .

When Huamanlou was tossing about three-stage shooting earlier, Liu Jianian actually watched secretly from the corner. Hearing the dense sound of gunfire, he couldn't help but feel refreshed.

Liu Jianian is actually quite a thief. In the past, if Ying Guogong brought Qi Wanrong to Shenji Camp, he would definitely show up, and then he would do everything he could to make Qi Wanrong happy, and then please Ying Guogong.And if Qi Wanrong came alone, then he must not be in the camp—whether he is really there or not, he must not be there, anyway, there is no benefit, why bother playing house with the little girl?

This is how he did it today, but a lot of flowers popped up out of nowhere, which surprised him very much.

Liu Jianian is not a bad person, but he is a bit more self-motivated, and it is a bit difficult to be promoted as a military general in Dazhao, which makes him want to reap the benefits of all corners.But even so, he is much better than those corrupt generals, at least he will not drink the blood of soldiers.

In short, seeing that the firearms team's combat power has risen to a new level in an instant, Liu Jianian's thoughts came alive: Isn't this just the time when the Tatars went south? If they can let the Shenji Battalion go with them, it will be a great contribution. , maybe you can get a title?

And he could also see that Huamanlou seemed to be disgusted with this level of increase in combat power, maybe there was another way to hold back, so Huamanlou just walked out with his back foot , took Huang Zichao to find his immediate boss, Ying Guogong, and wanted to talk to him about Shenjiying's support for Datong, and asked Ying Guogong to find a way to get some dry goods from Huamanlou.

So after settling Qi Wanrong, Duke Ying, who hurried out, ran into these two as soon as he arrived at the gate of the city.

It has to be said that Ying Guogong and Liu Jianian have very similar ideas, and he also thinks that it is a good choice for Shenji Battalion to support Datong. Therefore, after hearing Huang Zichao and Liu Jianian's more detailed report on the three-stage shooting, Ying Guogong is on the contrary. Not in a hurry to go to the Shenji Camp to check, he went directly to Uncle Huai'an - the reason is very simple, as Qi Wanrong's female soldiers thought, Hua Manlou, a bad gambler, had never heard of studying military affairs, so Didn't his set of things come from Uncle Huai'an?

So the three of them hurried to the Jingwei command department again, and found Uncle Huai'an who was about to go out to find Fan Zhe.

And after the three of them finished talking about the Shenji Camp, Uncle Huai'an was completely dumbfounded—it has to be said that Ying Guogong's expression was very problematic. Hua ManLou kept burying Bo Huai'an for the emperor's grace: the so-called acquisition of literary and martial arts is a scourge...cough, goods and the emperor's family, you are blind if you don't show it if you don't show it. preferential treatment?

Uncle Huai'an stayed for a long while, exhausted his words to explain that he had never taught Huamanlou these things, and finally asked a question similar to that of Ying Guogong: "Are you sure it's my son Huamanlou? Isn't it Huamanlou next door? But...my son just went to Xuanwuwei today..."

Uncle Huai'an was happy for a while and worried for a while.

He is naturally happy that his son has a long face, but if he makes a mistake, wouldn't it be very embarrassing?

But Huang Zichao said firmly: "That's even more true. When Hua Zongqi came, he was wearing a flying fish suit, and it looks like he was dragged here by Miss Qi..."

Liu Jianian who was next to him secretly kicked him to signal him not to open his mouth, but Ying Guogong waved his hand: "Go, go to Xuanwuwei to have a look!"

The group went to the Hundred Households Office on the East Street again, frightened Huamanlou's subordinates, especially Peng Guang, until they found out that Huamanlou hadn't come back, and they came to Huafu together...

So when Qi Qiran of Huamanlou walked into the front hall, before he could give all the gifts, Duke Ying had already stood up and laughed loudly: "Come, come, nephew, don't be too polite, sit down, sit down and talk." !"

So polite, it's like being at his home.

Huamanlou certainly knew Duke Ying, and at this moment he was thinking about getting married without turning the corner, so he couldn't help being horrified: Duke Ying came to the door in person?This... It seems that Qi Wanrong is the only girl in his family, right?Is this to bring together the two people in Kyoto who have lowered the bottom line of noble morality?

Although Huamanlou admires Qi Wanrong quite a bit, getting married is a different matter, even if Qi Wanrong is not the kind of girl who has a crooked nose and slanted eyes and a beauty mole on her face, but her style is different. Huamanlou plans to follow the route of a scholar, Can we live together with this martial young lady in the future?

Turning around, Hua Manlou saw Huang Zichao again, so he was even more horrified: What is the purpose of this door-to-door visit with a general?Planning to test my young master's force value to see if it is enough for Qi Wanrong to beat me up?

It's not impossible, that aunt is a master of "I still have enough courage to be good at it", although it's hard to say what the combat power is, but after all, she was playing with guns and clubs since she was a child, and she is definitely more than enough to beat herself— ——Hua Manlou's predecessor didn't practice martial arts. In his previous life, he didn't even take part in the taekwondo training class of a fool. How could he beat others?

Thinking about it more deeply, Qi Wanrong could not get married, maybe there are other reasons besides martial arts ruining her reputation?Like beating people up?Or like Cao Cao, he likes to beat people in his dreams?Otherwise, just to have a look at the door, the Duke of Pinying would come to the door in person, and he was so polite!

The more polite you are, the bigger things will be!

So Hua Manlou immediately turned his horrified eyes to Uncle Huai'an: Father, save me!I still want to give you a pension, I don't want to die young!

But Uncle Huai'an was still dizzy at this time, he turned his searching eyes to Huang Zichao, wanting to make sure that the guy he was talking about was his son, and he didn't look at Huamanlou at all.

So Hua Manlou was in despair: It seems that the cheap father really gave up the treatment, as long as he can breed, he doesn't care about anything, so it's time to pretend to be crazy now, right?

Hua Manlou decided that from now on, no matter what Ying Guogong asks, he will be ababa ababa.

After pulling Hua Manlou to sit down, Duke Ying smiled and said, "Nephew, are you really responsible for those three shots?"

"Abaa... huh? Three-stage shooting?"

18. Don't look at this old guy with a tiger face now
