Emperor Chongzhen's advice, at this time, most people just listened to it and didn't particularly care about it.

………………

In the courtyard of a deep house somewhere in the capital division, there are also people discussing things about steam engines.

"Then Xingguo Gong heard that he was coming back, what should I do?" There was a younger one, with a fat man who sat on the throne as if he were asking.

When the fat man heard this, he frowned a little and said, "What if he comes?" Don't be afraid! ”

Obviously, his words did not reassure the young man much. He himself discovered this.

So, the fat man said to the young man: "The rise of the Xingguo Gong is only because of his meritorious crusade against the thieves. Now that he has rushed back to Beijing, he has no military merits. The people are forgetful, after the time passes, as long as there is no new work, the prestige of Xingguo Gong will fade, and there is no need to be afraid of him! ”

"But......" said the young man, still a little uneasy, "but although he has returned, those who led the troops to fight were all recommended by him." There is good news ahead, how can the prestige of Xingguo Gong not be high? ”

Hearing this, the fat man was a little surprised, but he immediately shook his hand and said with a smile: "This point, don't worry about it." Now that the thieves have jumped into the Yunnan-Guizhou region, where the mountains are high and the forests are dense, and there are many toasts, it is not easy to exterminate the thieves, so there are so many good news? If the thieves really want to be destroyed so easily, why haven't they been pacified all these years? ”

After a pause, he thought for a moment and then continued to the young man: "Now the place where the Ming Dynasty uses troops, except for the southwest border, is only Liaodong Jianyu. However, Liaodong Jianyu is more powerful than those thieves. Before, he just lost the battle by a sneak attack, but now he will definitely be prepared. Look at it, after so long, can you pass on the good news again? ”

Did the young man listen? He shook his head? Not really.

When the fat man saw this, he smiled and said, "Isn't that right?" Then Xingguo Gong only needs to return to Jingshi? Prestige could not have increased. Maybe there is a disagreement with the DPRK and the Chinese government? There will be infighting. And the allusion of the rabbit dead and the dog cooking, you should also know, right? Today's emperor kills the first assistant? It's as easy as killing a chicken, and this Xingguo Gong is useless? Maybe there will be a gap with the current emperor. In a word? You can rest assured, this Xingguo Gong will rise quickly, and his defeat will definitely be fast! You are all disciples of saints, how terrible is he? ”

Hear this? The worry on the young man's face was finally gone? Still clenching his fists, he nodded vigorously and said, "Student understands!" In order to continue to learn from the saints, we must fight to the end with this rejuvenating country! ”

"The children can be taught!" The fat man listened, nodded with a satisfied smile, and praised the young man? His face became serious again, and he said earnestly to the young man. That Xingguo Gong's job is to command the Jinyi Guard, after he returns to Beijing? Don't come to me unless you have to? Do you want to be on guard? Got it? ”

"Students understand!" Young people listened? Immediately nodded.

But then, as if he had something in mind, he looked up at the fat man, as if he wanted to say something. But in the end, he still didn't say it.

Seeing that the young man didn't ask, he didn't ask, and after discussing the details for a while, he led the young man out of the study.

At the door of the study, there was an old servant waiting here, obviously watching the wind. It can be seen that their meeting was very cautious.

Sure enough, I heard the fat man explain to the old servant: "Go to the back door, you go out first, if there is no one, then take him away!" ”

"The old slave understands, the master can rest assured!" The old servant heard this and hurriedly agreed.

When the fat man heard this, he grabbed the young man's hand and said sincerely: "Wensheng, this is a matter related to thousands of generations, if it is done well, it will definitely be passed on for generations, and the history books will be passed on!" ”

When this man named Wensheng heard this, he became a little excited, and immediately expressed it impassionedly again, and then left with the old servant.

And the fat man went back to the study and sat down, and after a long silence alone, he took up his pen and wrote a letter.

After he had finished writing, he read it again before carefully folding it into an envelope and sealing it with fire paint.

At this time, the old servant also came back and told him that he had sent the man out of the house safely.

The fat man nodded, took the letter he had written to the old servant, and solemnly instructed him: "That person will definitely not give up, and the affairs of the Jingshi side will definitely usher in a storm." You go back to Shandong, personally hand over this letter to the master, and how to deal with it in the future, I will listen to the master's decision, I will wait. ”

When the old servant heard this, he immediately agreed, and did not ask for specific details, obviously he understood, and then left the Jingshi.

………………

Early the next morning, on the side of Guozijian, groups of prisoners gathered from all over the capital.

When they saw each other, they must have greeted each other very eagerly.

In the past, there was no such scene, at most a few like-minded acquaintances would greet each other.

But at this time, because of a major incident against the steam engine, they were closely united.

At the gate of Guozijian, a group of prisoners were impassioned, and some even posted big-character posters on the walls next to them.

That's right, during the Ming Dynasty, there were already big-character posters. Even in the heat of time, someone pasted it on the palace wall.

The rules of the Ming Dynasty, you can post it, but you must sign it. If you post a big-character poster anonymously, once it is caught, it will be a felony.

At this time, many people were looking at the big-character poster on the wall, and when they saw the signature, they were not surprised and talked about it one after another.

"Wensheng, that's good, that's right!"

"That's right, Wen Sheng is right, the teachings of the saints, we consider ourselves saints' disciples, and we must defend the learning of the saints!"

"Now that all the slutty things are on the table, it's an insult to the saint!"

"Just let the steam engine get out of here, hurt others and yourself!"

“……”

In the midst of their condemnation, the man named Wen Sheng seemed even more excited, and directly waved his hands under the wall, and became impassioned again.

While they were bustling with activity, suddenly, there seemed to be a louder noise in the distance. The sound came, and it even overshadowed it.

This made the excited group of inmates suddenly a little surprised, and at the same time a little curious, so they all quieted down and wanted to hear the situation.

"Daming Wansheng!"

"Hooray...... Victory ......"

“……”

Faintly, too noisy, only the loudest words can be faintly heard.

However, although they only heard a few words, most of the prisoners here reacted.

Suddenly, they also began to talk.

"Won't it, the court has won the battle again?"

"Isn't it possible that the thieves have been pacified?"

"Impossible, didn't the thieves rush into the Yunnan and Guizhou provinces? Where is it not good for the court to suppress thieves, how can it be pacified so quickly? ”

"That's it, isn't Xingguo Gong also back, and it is impossible to win another battle, right?"

"You are not old Jingshi anymore, listening to this cheer, you are so excited, it must be a war against the captives!"

"That's even more impossible, how can there be a victory over there in Liaodong? On the side of the imperial court, didn't they hide in Shanhaiguan and not go out? It can't be all, and it's like Ning Yuan back then, just retreating by himself after the siege of the city, so he shouted for a great victory, right? ”

Wen Sheng said this, and it does make sense. Now, if we still lie about a great victory, we will never agree to go to the Metropolitan Procuratorate to meditate and demand a thorough investigation of such bad practices. ”

“……”

A group of prisoners, led by Wen Sheng, suddenly became emotional again, as if they cared much about national affairs. When it was okay to go before, Da Ming was in danger, and I didn't see them do anything!

While they were making a fuss, another group of prisoners came over and brought news from there.

"What, is the Phi Island victory? The Denglai Naval Division defeated the Jianyu Naval Division to the annihilation? ”

"Exactly, now the messenger has galloped into the palace. It won't be long before there will be a detailed announcement. ”

"It's actually a sailor fighting? That could be a big win! Just by virtue of Jianyu, the sea is still stronger than our Ming Dynasty! ”

"Don't you know? Today's Denglai Sailor, who was transferred from the Fujian Sailor, used to be old pirates, of course they can fight? ”

"yes, how did we not know before?"

"Of course you northerners don't know, ask the south of the Yangtze River, many people know."

“……”

The prisoner named Wen Sheng, who had been dancing happily just now, obviously withered a little when he heard their discussion.

Because of the news of this great victory, they ended their activities at the gate of Guozijian early. Because there is no way, at this time, what everyone cares about is not the old tune about the steam engine, but the great victory in the naval battle of Liaodong!

Any war that can defeat the Liaodong Jianyu must be the most interesting in this Jingshi. Because the northern side, including the people of Jingshi, have been more or less poisoned by Jianlu, and some relatives and friends have died directly or indirectly at the hands of Jianlu.

The hatred of Daming and Jianyu is not shared!

After about half an hour, the Kyoshi was lively and finally calmed down.

The students of Guozijian are also studying in the academy.

Suddenly, however, there were cheers outside. Overall, though, it wasn't as lively as the initial cheers.

Na Wensheng sat in the room, distraught when he heard it, and immediately scolded: "It's just a naval battle, what are you excited about, and it's not over?" ”

When several of his friends heard this, they chimed in.

But at this time, it was a doctor (Zheng Wupin official position) who came to teach, and just heard their whining, so he smiled and said: "No, this is another big victory!" The imperial court has recovered the Hetao! ”
