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

No matter how benevolent Emperor Guangxing was, he was still an emperor.

In the era when the monarchy was granted by God, the emperor represented the supreme power. He could decide the life and death with one word, change the fate of a person with one word, and even decide the rise and fall of the whole country with one thought.

Even if it is the emperor of Zhao or Ming, the monarchy is checked and balanced or even weakened by the power of the ministers. The Qingliu will still attack the emperor from time to time to brush up his reputation, but the emperor is still the emperor, a chess player, and the courtiers are just playing chess. It’s all about jumping within a certain range. If you dare to cross the boundary, do you think the emperor dares to punish you?

Therefore, even if Hua Manlou really didn't have much loyalty to the emperor, he still had to be in awe, after all...

The social animals in the previous life didn't dare to say anything too presumptuous in front of the boss, let alone the emperor?

In short, after anxiously following Emperor Guangxing into the Nuan Pavilion, Hua Manlou stood at the door with downcast brows like a quail, not daring to lift her head.

After taking his seat, Emperor Guangxing saw Hua Manlou so restrained, he couldn't help laughing: "Why, I haven't seen you so timid in the past, but today you are scared?"

Hua Manlou hurriedly bowed and said: "The guilty minister did not know His Majesty's identity in the past, so he offended me so much, I beg Your Majesty to forgive me."

Seeing his state, Emperor Guangxing couldn't help but sighed, becoming even more depressed.

The emperor is also a human being and has his own likes and dislikes.

From the actions of Emperor Guangxing, it can be seen that he has a relatively gentle personality, and he is also suspected of being indecisive when dealing with things, and even in some aspects he does not have the emperor's domineering at all, so it is no wonder that the current civil servants They are getting bigger and bigger.

But having said that, after a person with this personality becomes an emperor, he will be more humane than ordinary emperors, and he will be more gentle in his administration. There will be no large-scale implicated phenomenon.

All in all, it was so easy for the gentle Emperor Guangxing to have such a junior as Huamanlou who could be blind and give him advice, even the existence of Wangnianjiao. There is not a layer or two in the middle, and the sense of distance comes out all at once. Do you think Emperor Guangxing is not depressed?

Gathering his mind, Emperor Guangxing waved his attendants, including a certain sour Dongchang Changgong, to go out, and then said: "You have been calling for a long time about the sinful minister, where is the crime?"

Ai Ai said, "The crime... the crime is offending His Majesty?"

Emperor Guangxing said with a half-smile, "Oh, I don't think I was offended by you."

Hua Manlou continued: "Then... the crime is that you shouldn't have disturbed the holy car by setting off hot air balloons indiscriminately?"

Emperor Guangxing sneered and said: "I already knew that you and the crown prince were going to make a large Kongming lantern, and even if you didn't know, do you think this little scene can disturb me?"

Hua Manlou coughed dryly and bowed, "Your Majesty is mighty..."

Emperor Guangxing suddenly became a little angry: "You bastard, stand up straight and speak!"

Hua Manlou quickly raised his chest and raised his head to stand at attention, not daring to show his breath, but Emperor Guangxing became even more angry when he saw his action: "You... Get out, get out, I'm upset when I see you!"

Hua Manlou was about to exit the door immediately, but Emperor Guangxing sighed: "Yes, you should come back and sit here."

The position that Emperor Guangxing pointed to was the table under the throne, and he himself walked down, moved a stool with his own hands, and sat opposite Hua Manlou with a terrified expression.

"Now, can you talk properly?" Emperor Guangxing stared at Huamanlou.

Hua Manlou stuttered in surprise, "No...I wonder what Your Majesty wants me to say...say something?"

"Anything is fine, just say whatever you want!"

Emperor Guangxing picked up the teapot and cups again, Hua Manlou took a look and immediately said, "Your Majesty, let me do it..."

"Sit down for me, sit upright!" Emperor Guangxing poured water into the teacup Hua Manlou hastily held up, and said, "Do you know why I value you?"

"Er... I don't know..."

"Then do you know why I come to talk to you from time to time?"

"This... because of Weichen's mouth?"

"...Well, it's okay!" Emperor Guangxing glared at Hua Manlou, and then sighed: "I don't want to reveal my identity in front of you, and I ordered my father and Ying Guogong not to reveal my identity. It is to let you speak freely, talk about what you "enlighten" in the casino, although I know this is nonsense, but I have the right to treat what you say is true. I have relieved a lot of troubles, so, do you think I can not value you?"

Hua Manlou really didn't expect that he would get such an evaluation from the big boss. He was stunned and said: "Your Majesty, there are so many talents in Guochao, and the humble minister is so true... It's just that there are some cleverness that can't be put on the table..."

Emperor Guangxing looked at him and said: "A person who can't stand on the table can completely quell the chaos in northern Xinjiang that the Manchu civil and military can't solve for me, and can also earn a lot of money for me, and even think about it. Collecting commercial taxes to enrich the national treasury? So how can you let those people who can get on the table be so embarrassing? Even a few elders praised you, but you told me that you are clever... Well, very good, how about you Give me a big brain to open my eyes?"

Hua Manlou frowned and said, "There is no great cleverness, only small cleverness..."

Emperor Guangxing pointed at him with his finger and said: "Okay, I don't criticize you, and I don't expect you to talk nonsense in front of me as usual, I just hope you can do things well as always, and share my worries for me." Okay. Of course, I hope that you will treat me as an elder, and you can just continue to call me Uncle Zhao when there is no one else, what do you think?"

I have to say that what Emperor Guangxing said was true beyond Hua Manlou's estimation, and it also subverted his three views.After all, since ancient times, there has been a saying that companions are like companions of tigers, as if being an emperor would violently hurt others, but who would have thought that he would meet such a wonderful emperor?This is so approachable, like the neighbor's uncle...

As for him wanting to talk more about dry things...even if it's wet or something, it's not uncommon—the emperor is a loner, and he hopes that someone who can speak can understand.

So Hua Manlou muttered a few times, and finally said: "My minister... obey the order."

Ordinarily, Emperor Guangxing shouldn't have talked so much nonsense with Huamanlou, let alone forgive him, but firstly, Huamanlou gave him a really good impression, and secondly, he always thought that Huamanlou had been killed by Huai'an before. Bo beat him up a bit too much, so he was afraid that he would become submissive after being frightened, so he made this move.

Now he saw that although Hua Manlou was still a bit 'cowardly', she was much better than the quail outfit before, so he felt a little relieved: "Now tell me, how did you make that thing that you tinkered with?"

167. Wei Chen is very busy!

It is one thing to explain the principle of hot air balloons to 'Uncle Zhao', but it is another thing to explain it to the emperor.

Hua Manlou desperately suppressed his urge to eloquently, and tried to explain the problem of air buoyancy to Emperor Guangxing in the easiest way to understand.And because Zhao Ren had mentioned this before, Emperor Guangxing quickly got a general idea.

So he asked: "This thing is not just for playing, is it?"

Hua Manlou said cautiously: "This...you see, the so-called standing high and peeing...cough, standing high and looking far, hot air balloons are actually very good for reconnaissance. , we can even fly over their heads to reconnaissance. And, if we can grasp the time difference, throwing some Purdue is also a good choice, and we can even throw some kindling to burn the enemy's food and grass camp..."

Before he could figure out Emperor Guangxing's temper, Hua Manlou was under a lot of pressure, especially in this situation where he had to explain. It can be said that it is very hard for him to be habitually cheap.

But Emperor Guangxing couldn't help being happy seeing him in such a mess.

He used to worry that Hua Manlou would be too frightened to speak after knowing his identity, but now, after confiding in his heart, he found that Hua Manlou still dared to speak, and when he saw his efforts to speak concisely , Emperor Guangxing knew that it was almost time for Huamanlou to wait, so...

"What is the time difference?"

"This... is the time for the Purdue to be thrown from the high altitude to the ground and the time for the Purdue to detonate. If it is shorter, the Purdue will explode at high altitude..."

"Then can this thing be directly used to assassinate the enemy general?"

"Theoretically it is possible, but in practice it is more difficult, because people look like ants in the sky, and it is even more difficult to hit them. Your Majesty can try to spit on the ants..."

"...I'm not that free yet."

"Uh... I'm afraid..."

"According to what you said, the production of this object is very simple, and the required items are not difficult to buy, so naturally it is not difficult for others to imitate?"

"This...probably..."

"About what?"

Emperor Guangxing asked questions very quickly, and Hua Manlou couldn't help speeding up, which made it difficult for him to choose words: "Probably they can be imitated, but I don't know if they can be controlled, and the success rate is certain. He can't go anywhere, this Zhao Ren...His Royal Highness knows it very well..."

"According to what you said, I don't have to worry about a hot air balloon popping up above my head one day and setting fire to my palace?"

"This... I can't guarantee that..." Hua Manlou broke out in a cold sweat.

There is no such thing as air supremacy in this era, and if someone really invented a hot air balloon and dropped fire in the sky, the Forbidden City, which has a large number of wooden structures, may really suffer.

Hua Manlou didn't think of this at all when he was instigating Zhao Ren to tinker with hot air balloons. He just wanted to rely on this to throw Zhao Ren into the pit of basic physics. When Ren was thrown into the pit, he also dug two deep pits for himself, and jumped into it without hesitation: First, what the crown prince should teach should be learning about emperors, but it seems that he ran away after entering the palace. Checking the strength of the hot air balloon, how could he give up studying physics?Second, there is no such thing as airspace at present, and there is no effective means of anti-aircraft. If people really fiddle with hot air balloons, the emperor's danger will be greatly increased...

Indeed, throwing something at high altitudes to hit people... Even if it is a dangerous object like throwing Purdue, it is difficult to hit the target accurately, but everything is in case...

"What are you thinking about?" Seeing Hua Manlou suddenly break out in cold sweat, Emperor Guangxing knocked on the table to bring him back to his senses: "What's the matter, tell me the truth!"

Hua Manlou stammered: "This matter... Well, Weichen thinks that the artillery can be upgraded a little bit, and it can probably be shot down. In addition, an underground air-raid shelter can be built in the palace. In case someone dares... If you dare to be rebellious, you can effectively prevent harm..."

The more Hua Manlou talked, the more he felt that something was wrong, because after telling this matter, let alone the air-raid shelter, who should upgrade the artillery?Isn't it he who spends thousands of households!

The problem is that Huamanlou doesn't want to build cannons at all - blacksmiths have raised this matter before, because they think that since guns can be upgraded, there is nothing wrong with upgrading cannons, right?

But Mr. Hua Qian's life goal is not here. Isn't it good to be a quiet and well-educated salted fish?If it weren't for a series of mistakes, Hua Manlou wouldn't bother to toss the firecrackers at all, and if it wasn't for the fact that Uncle Huai'an was on a mission, he wouldn't have proposed to fire guns, let alone cannons?

Therefore, the lack of mouth is a disease that cannot be cured!

Moreover, in terms of range, Da Zhao has something like a ballista, isn't it good to use this thing!

But the pressure of the emperor's questioning made Hua Manlou act according to his previous life's thinking in an instant. Doesn't the air defense have to use artillery?

And in the final analysis, the hot air balloon is a hole he dug himself, even with tears in his eyes, he has to find a way to fill the hole, otherwise, if someone really rebelliously imitates the hot air balloon and throws something on the emperor's head, the building will be full of flowers I'm afraid my head is in danger...

Sure enough, after Hua Manlou stammered halfway through, Emperor Guangxing waved his hands and said, "Then you don't have to worry about the palace, you can handle the artillery thing yourself, I believe you can do it well."

Hua ManLou wanted to cry but had no tears: "I... will follow my will."

It has to be said that this is Emperor Guangxing's inexplicable trust in Huamanlou, and he has a better personality so that he will not be suspicious for no reason. What was your intention in creating the thing?Do you think I live too peacefully?

After talking about the hot air balloon, Emperor Guangxing asked about Wala again: "Is Erstum ready to leave?"

Hua Manlou nodded: "His injury is almost healed, and he will probably leave in the next year."

Emperor Guangxing said: "The so-called hard work is for those who are capable. You proposed this matter, so you can properly handle the affairs of the mutual market. If there is no war in the northern border, I can free up my hands to do other things. In the south... It’s not peaceful either! Speaking of which, what’s your opinion on things in the south?”

Hua Manlou immediately became vigilant: "This...Your Majesty, I have never been to the south, nor have I known about these things..."

Emperor Guangxing said with a smile that was not a smile: "Oh? You told me about the silver mines in the country of Wa before, right? You know about overseas affairs, but you don't know about Dazhao's affairs?"

Hua Manlou wiped off endless cold sweat: "This matter...is said by the barbarians I met earlier, I really don't know!"

Emperor Guangxing joked: "I don't know...how about you go and take a look for me?"

Hua Manlou couldn't bear it any longer: "...Your Majesty, those who are able can't work so hard! My minister... is very busy!"

But... I just want to be a salted fish from the beginning to the end!

willow spring breeze March [-]rd

168. Salted fish should abide by the duty of salted fish

Hua Manlou was terrified by Emperor Guangxing.

go south?What a joke!

What is there in the south?

Do you think it is "a dream of spring in the Qinhuai River in ten miles, and the smoke and moon in Jinling in the Six Dynasties"?Or is it 'West Lake is vast with smoke and water, a hundred hectares of wind pools, and ten miles of lotus fragrance'?

That's right, Hua Manlou also wanted to visit these places, to experience the wind and moon on the Qinhuai River, or take a tin pot to visit the West Lake to see the scenery of Suzhou and Hangzhou, but did Emperor Guangxing mean that?

Because, there are basically two problems in Dazhao Nanfang: Japanese pirates and chieftains.

Needless to say, the Japanese pirates have been tossing at sea for three centuries in Huamanlou's previous life, and they basically never stopped after the fall of the Kamakura Shogunate (1333).

In the 17th year of Yongle (1419), the Ming army wiped out the invading Japanese in Wanghaiguo, Liaodong. After that, the coastal defense was relatively peaceful, but in the Jiajing Dynasty, after the Japanese Kingdom entered the Warring States Period, the Japanese invaded the southeast of the Ming Dynasty. It was not until the late Jiajing period (1561) that everyone knew It took two famous generals Qi Jiguang and Yu Dayou four years to put down the Japanese pirates.

So how long has Jiajing been in power? 45 years.How many times did Japanese pirates harass Daming in the past 45 years? 628 times.

Of course, after the Jiajing Dynasty, it is not to say that Japanese pirates did not exist. After Emperor Longqing came to power, Japanese pirates harassed Ming Dynasty more than 40 times. Until the fourth year of Tianqi (1624), Japanese pirates also invaded the coast of Fujian...

Hua Manlou had learned about the situation in the southeast of Dazhao, and there were indeed Japanese pirates invading the coastal area from time to time.But because Da Zhao banned the sea, he didn't know what was going on in the sea at all, and he didn't know the main distribution of Japanese pirates today, and even the situation in the Japanese country was vague.

In this case, isn't it embarrassing for him to talk about how to solve the pirates?

What's more, as a salted fish, what's the matter with going to hate Japanese pirates?

As for the chieftain, that's not something to provoke - this chieftain can't be eaten, but a rather special ZZ concept. These people are often the leaders of a certain tribe, but they have only been appointed as officials by the court.

The main reason for doing this is that it is basically inconvenient for the imperial court in remote areas to send people to manage, and even if they send people, you say that those who can only read rote books are sent to add chaos or to govern?Most of the current county magistrates invite masters and appoint small officials to govern the place. Some people are no better than idiots. If they are asked to be magistrates in complicated and unique places, can they manage it?

Therefore, the general practice of the court is to appoint a tribal leader to grant official seals, save money and at the same time declare sovereignty, as the saying goes: the world has its own land, the world governs its people, the world rules its soldiers, the world governs its place , The world enters its stream, and the world receives its seal.

Of course, there are also low-ranking officials, but in the narrow sense, chieftains refer specifically to chieftains.

Strategically speaking, the chieftain system is not only used to declare sovereignty. The idea of ​​the imperial court is to appoint chieftains to maintain the southwestern frontier and take the opportunity to further expand the territory. Therefore, Burma, Laos, and Thailand, including Hua Manlou's previous life, all use it to comfort foreign countries. As far as the envoys are concerned, the six consolations in the Southwest are the six consolation envoys of Cheli, Babai, Mubang, Burma, Mengyang, and Laos...

So does this place name sound familiar?

But fundamentally speaking, the chieftain system is only an expedient measure, and the chieftains who are the local emperors are not stupid. Although they rely on the authority of the Han Dynasty and have a strong sense of trade, they are oppressive and authoritarian to the people at the bottom. rule, and strictly control their study of Han culture in order to maintain their rule.
