Chapter Ninety-Six: The Crown Prince's Apprenticeship (Second Update, Ask for Recommendation Votes!) )
As if seeing what Zhu Youlang was thinking, Wen Anzhi said in a harmonious voice: "Your Majesty, the old minister also hopes to do more things in his lifetime." The old minister is too old to put on armor and go into battle with a sword to kill the enemy, but he can still do such things as teaching and educating people. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is the future of the Ming Dynasty, and the old minister is willing to give it to him, and he hopes that His Majesty will allow it. ”
Wen Anzhi's words were extremely sincere, and Zhu Youlang was very moved when he heard it.
This kind of loyal and honest courtier, Daming is still too lacking.
"Elder Wenge, I'm right."
Zhu Youlang bowed slightly, turned to Han Miao and ordered, "Go and call the prince." ”
"Yes!"
Han Miao bowed down and took the order to exit the hall.
After about half a burnt of incense, the crown prince Zhu Cixuan was taken outside the palace.
After the experience of raising the army in the Zhifeng Festival, his vision and courage have improved a lot, and he is no longer the canary who was born in the deep palace and grew up in the hands of a woman.
Under the chanting of the chamberlain, Zhu Cixuan bowed down into the hall, knelt down and saluted Zhu Youlang: "The son and the emperor see the emperor." ”
Zhu Youlang cleared his throat and said, "I called the prince here to apprentice. Wenge is loyal to the country, and he is full of learning. I want you to worship the old man of Wenge as a teacher. ”
When Zhu Cixuan came, he listened to Han Miao's reminder, and he was already prepared in his heart.
"Son, thank you for your father's grace."
After saying that, he turned around and bowed to Wen Anzhi and said, "Please ask Mr. Wen to accept the orphan as a student." ”
After receiving this gift, Wen Anzhiman got up and helped the crown prince Zhu Cixuan up, and said with emotion: "His Royal Highness the prince is serious, and the minister will do his best to teach him." ”
Zhu Youlang saw all this in his eyes and was very relieved.
The etiquette of respecting teachers in the Ming generation is still in place. Even the royal family is no exception.
In addition to the fact that the crown prince had to bow down to his mentor during apprenticeship, the crown prince had to stand and listen to the lecture when the courtiers gave lectures to the crown prince as a sign of respect for his husband.
In the Qing Dynasty, this was completely reversed.
The courtiers have to kneel when they give lectures to the prince, yes, they have to kneel!
This simply subverts the Chinese tradition of respecting teachers for thousands of years.
Ji Xiaolan was severely reprimanded by Qianlong for not kneeling when he gave a lecture to the prince once, thinking that he was unruly.
This is simply putting the cart before the horse, laughing and generous.
Of course, when the prince of the Ming Dynasty listened to his lecture, although he did not have to kneel, he had to stand.
There is only one chance to enjoy the crown prince's prostration, and that is at the apprenticeship ceremony.
After the ceremony, Zhu Cixuan officially became a student of Wen Anzhi.
Zhu Youlang still felt a little relieved.
As the saying goes, those who are capable work harder. Since Wen Anzhi himself insisted on being the prince's teacher, Zhu Youlang had no reason to refuse.
I only hope that Zhu Cixuan can learn some statecraft from Wen Anzhi, and he can inherit the emperor's unification and become a generation of saints after a hundred years.

Nanjing Longjiang Pass, abandoned for many years, Longjiang Shipyard was reopened.
At Shi Lang's suggestion, Longjiang Shipyard gave priority to the production of large sea vessels.
Before the Jiajing Dynasty, more than eighty percent of the large sea ships in the entire Ming Dynasty were built by the Longjiang Shipyard.
For example, the treasure ship used by Zheng He to go to the West came from here.
At its peak, there were more than 400 craftsmen here, and they lived and ate in the shipyard.
The ship was recorded to be forty-four feet long and eighteen feet wide; The middle ship is 37 zhang long and 15 zhang wide.
Later, due to the sea ban policy, Longjiang Shipyard was abandoned.
On the contrary, after the opening of the sea in Longqing, the shipbuilding industry in Fujian and other places developed rapidly, and Fuchuan became the mainstream ship type.
Shi Lang was sent to Jiangnan by the Qing court to deal with the Ming army of Zheng Chenggong and Zhang Huangyan, who occupied Zhoushan.
If you think about it and build a ship along the coast of Zhejiang, it will be easy for the Ming army to find out and prepare in advance. Second, it is very cumbersome to recruit craftsmen.
But with the reopening of the Longjiang Shipyard, things are much simpler.
There are ready-made craftsmen, ready-made docks, and even river sluices in the city of Nanjing.
As long as it is dredged and dredged, the shed will be repaired.
What Shi Lang lacks now is time, and what he wants is efficiency.
He had to build a batch of ships that could compete with Zheng Chenggong's sailors in the shortest possible time. Just relying on the sea ships in the hands of Lang Tingzuo, Guan Xiaozhong, Liang Huafeng and others, rashly starting a war with Zheng Chenggong is to kill himself by hitting a stone with an egg.
No one knows better than Shi Lang the strength of the Zheng Clan's sailors, and he will only take the initiative to fight if he is at least five or five open.
Otherwise, if the Qing army was defeated at that time, his position in the eyes of the Qing court and the Shunzhi Emperor would plummet.
Shi Lang has been idle in Beijing for many years since he surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, and after waiting for so long to finally wait for this opportunity, he naturally can't easily miss it.
Fortunately, Lang Tingzuo is not an authoritarian and greedy person, and he adopted all of Shi Lang's suggestions.
According to this rhythm, it won't be long before Shi Lang can pull up a sea boat.
The issue of artillery also needs to be solved urgently. In a large-scale naval battle, in addition to fighting for whose ships have more ships, the two sides also fight for whose artillery has more.
In the firearm configuration of the Qing army, artillery was far more important than firearms.
Shi Lang had already greeted Lang Tingzuo, and at that time, more than half of the artillery of the Qing army in Jiangnan would be mounted on the naval ships.
This is not difficult for Lang Tingzuo to do. After all, he is the dignified governor of Liangjiang and oversees the military and political power in Jiangnan. That's what he said.
Only when the column is equipped to this extent can Shi Lang have the confidence to start a war with the Ming army.
Although Zhoushan is easy to defend and difficult to attack, it also depends on the comparison of the combat strength of the two sides.
The Qing army had captured Zhoushan many times, and Zhang Huangyan fled to the sea in panic.
Its implementation Lang is a little surprised that Zheng Cheng's function has persisted until now.
At the beginning, Zheng Zhilong descended to the Qing Dynasty, Zheng Chenggong ran away angrily and pulled up a team of people alone, which can be described as a self-made start.
At that time, no matter how you looked at Zheng Chenggong, it was a dead end.
As everyone knows, after years of development, today's Zheng Shui Shi is better than Zheng Zhilong's invincible army back then.
Is this really the power of faith?
Shi Lang scoffed at this. People still have to recognize the reality, and even so, it's just a matter of catching their breath for a while.
In the end, everyone will submit to the rule of the Qing Dynasty, so why not surrender early and take a good position?

Note 1: "Tongdian Kaiyuan Ceremony" records: The crown prince dressed Qingjin, went to the gate of the palace, and knelt. The deacons are led to the east steps of the school palace, on the west side. The doctor descended to the east staircase of the palace. The prime minister brought the crown prince in. The deacons serve wine and repair the case. The crown prince enters and left, south of the west steps, east, kneel, worship; Dr. Answer. The prince also avoided it. Proceed and grant coins; The repairer of the wine pot was laid before the doctor. The crown prince worships. The Doctor receives the coin. The deacons take the flask to the east of the repair case. The crown prince bowed, and the prime minister led the crown prince out. Courtesy.
It is clearly recorded here that the crown prince is to bow down to the teacher, and it has basically been used in all dynasties since then. The Qing Dynasty instead worshiped the prince, which is really staggering.
Note 2: For a detailed description of Longjiang Shipyard, you can read Lao Kun's old book, which will not be repeated here.
The second one is delivered, asking for a recommendation ticket.
