Li Yan asked: "Plotting against Hojo Kikujiro, there must also be a shadow of my Ming factory guard operating in it?" ”

Shi Fenglai was stunned when he heard this, and then smiled with relief: "Yes, you can think of this, it's good."

Just based on the little benefits that the Wakoku Heavenly Kingdom can promise, the risks of following the Heavenly King to overthrow the Tokugawa clan are obviously greater than the benefits, so how can Hojo Kikujiro obviously not be a fool, how could he agree to fall to the Wano Heavenly King? ”

After finishing speaking, Shi Fenglai sneered again: "Also, have you seen that this Hojo Kikujiro obviously has some meaning from the beginning to the end?" ”

Li Yan replied: "Yes, the disciple originally thought that this Hojo Kikujiro's attitude was a little strange. Although he tried his best to fight for the benefits of the shogunate, it was not as fierce as the disciples expected. ”

Shi Fenglai nodded, quite relieved, and said with a smile: "Yes, it's good for you to see it." The purpose of this trip is very simple, that is, to test the teacher's attitude towards the Wakoku, or the attitude towards the shogunate.

Now in this situation, he should be able to go back to the business with confidence.

Now Ren's father-in-law should be regarded as an excellent impression of the shogunate, but the attitude of the teacher is extremely poor, and after he Hojo Kikujiro goes back, whether it is for their king or for the shogunate, he can have a good explanation.

After all, the county officials are not as good as the current management, and Ren Gonggong is powerful, but he is very far away, and the teacher looks inferior to Ren Gonggong, but it is close at hand. ”

Li Yan asked with some hesitation, "Then why didn't the teacher tell the students in advance?" ”

Shi Fenglai said with a smile: "What did you tell you in advance?" Prepared for you? Silly boy, what the teacher can teach you is always the teacher's, and only what you learn is your own.

The teacher is already old, even if he looks good now, how many years can he last? In the past few years, the teacher has been able to shield you from the wind and rain, but what about the day when the teacher is gone?

Above the court, there are countless open knives and hidden arrows, and what is laughing at you is not necessarily good for you, and scolding you for impeaching you is not necessarily bad for you.

The human heart is too complicated, and it can't withstand temptation. Your Majesty values you now because you are doing well, but how many people are there in Daming? Far away from the court, if you behave inconspicuously, you will be forgotten by Your Majesty in an instant, are you willing? ”

Li Yan's nose was a little sour.

After he was thrown to his teacher by Emperor Chongzhen, he basically followed the teacher to learn every day, even when he was at sea.

Now he is even more independent to deal with this kind of thing that can be fought accidentally, which shows the teacher's cultivation heart for himself.

What's more, now that he has said so many heart-wrenching words, Li Yan feels that he is not a wooden person, how can he be indifferent to Shi Fenglai's love?

After bowing to Shi Fenglai, Li Yan choked up and said, "Thank you for the teacher's teaching, the students will never forget." ”

Shi Fenglai gave him a handful of help, and said with a smile: "Okay, okay, get up, get up quickly." ”

After Li Yan straightened up, Shi Fenglai said with a smile: "You kid, don't make such a childish gesture in front of the old man, the old man can't stand this." ”

After finishing speaking, Shi Fenglai sighed again and said: "When the ram was a strong man, it was all over the world, but now there is no trace of it, and the burden on your shoulders is not light."

But what about light energy? Don't you still have to pick it? I just hope you don't resent the old man in the future. ”

Li Yan just turned up directly, and when he heard the words, he saluted again, and replied: "The student will never complain, even if it is broken bones, he will vow to fight those corrupt Confucians to the end, and return my Confucianism a bright and sunny day." ”

Shi Fenglai's face was even more relieved, and he said with a smile: "Okay, good." You're tired from the day today, so let's go back and get some rest. ”

When Li Yan heard Shi Fenglai's order, he immediately bowed and retreated, returning to his residence.

It's too exciting to receive the news today, even the Wa Kingdom actually has the shadow of factory guard activities, how big is the power of Daming factory guard?

Li Yan didn't even dare to think about it now, because he had no way to guarantee whether there was a hidden Jinyi Guard secret agent around him.

Emperor Chongzhen also knew all these things that happened on Kyushu Island, even if he knew it later, it was not real-time.

Emperor Chongzhen, who has always been uncomfortable if he doesn't do things, has a headache for a long time because of this little, how can he let others follow him?

After thinking about it, Emperor Chongzhen sent someone to summon Zhang Weixian into the palace.

Zhang Weixian knew that as long as Emperor Chongzhen looked for him to enter the palace, there would never be anything good.

It's either asking for trouble for yourself, or it's asking for trouble for yourself.

It's all about trouble anyway.

Like this time, what the hell is a military exercise at sea? What the hell is it to review the artillery salvo of the East China Sea Fleet? It is understandable that the Amami Islands in the Ryukyus are those dwarfs who want to scare and scare Toei.

But what is the purpose of inviting envoys from neighboring countries to the ship? Visit the artillery salvo?

Are you old people planning to scare them to death so that they can take over their land?

Zhang Weixian, who thought about it for a long time and didn't come up with a reliable reason, simply learned from Guo Yunhou's old wisdom, bowed down and said, "Your Majesty, the treasury? ”

Emperor Chongzhen simply waved his hand and said: "There is no need for the treasury, this time the money will be paid out from the internal treasury and the East China Sea Fleet will be directly transferred to conduct artillery fire drills on the Amami Islands." ”

Seeing that Zhang Weixian still wanted to object, Emperor Chongzhen directly interrupted Zhang Weixian's words: "Although the artillery fire is quite expensive, it is a powerful deterrent to the neighboring countries. ”

Zhang Weixian bowed down and said: "Your Majesty, just like the example of North Korea, the other country serves me as a father, and often prides himself on being a filial son of the Ming Dynasty. ”

Son? Damn, what filial son has a stepfather and then goes back to help his stepfather deal with his own father?

Not to mention that he also set up his stepfather's artillery in the yard of his own house, and compared it to his father, can this be called filial piety?

Anyway, Emperor Chongzhen hadn't heard of this.

Not to mention helping the stepfather deal with his own father, even if he helped his father deal with his adoptive father, I haven't heard of a few cases.

This kind of filial piety, that is, when his father is powerful, he has a little filial piety, once he finds that this father's ability is not as good as his own, it is estimated that it will be a matter of minutes to change his father.

So Emperor Chongzhen didn't care what North Korea would think at all, but said with a big grin: "So what? Since North Korea claims to be the filial son of my Ming Dynasty, the stronger the Fuchuan fleet rebuilt by the Ming Dynasty, shouldn't they be happier?

As for the rest, those who are obedient and have no ghosts in their hearts, what are they afraid of? Only those who have ghosts in their hearts will be afraid! ”

Zhang Weixian felt that Emperor Chongzhen was making a strong argument - could he not allow others to be timid?

There is no such reason in the world.

But what Emperor Chongzhen decided, except for the fact that the pro-conquest of Jiannu has been delayed until now because the treasury has no money, there is really nothing that Emperor Chongzhen has not done.

If there is, it is the rebels who originally planned to personally conquer Yu Chongming and An Bangyan, but it didn't work out later.

But is it still a matter of fact? Just the rebellion of the two guys Chongming and An Bangyan, for an emperor like Emperor Chongzhen, it's a joke at all, okay?

Now Emperor Chongzhen suddenly thought that even if he asked the internal treasury to spend money to carry out this kind of sea artillery fire, if this thing could not be done, it would be a hell.

Zhang Weixian had no choice but to respond, but he bowed down and asked, "Your Majesty, when is this exercise scheduled?" ”

Emperor Chongzhen calculated the time, and according to the fact that it was now the time of June of the third year of Chongzhen, when there were enough ships on the East China Sea Fleet to launch and run in for a period of time, it would have to be delayed until the fourth year of Chongzhen.

And the main problem is not yet with the East China Sea Fleet.

Running all the way from the farthest place in Daming from Jingshi, if it weren't for the relay of changing horses all the way, it would take about two or three months to rush normally.

What about the other Tibetan countries? It would be faster to go by sea, but Emperor Chongzhen needed to send an envoy to inform those countries of Tibet about the approximate time.

Moreover, this time can only be advanced, not postponed, and the envoys from various countries must have enough time to rest.

In addition, after the envoys have arrived, a specific time must be determined.

After the specific time is determined, these envoys also need to accompany Emperor Chongzhen from Beijing to Denglai, and then get on the ship to watch the ceremony.

If Emperor Chongzhen doesn't go, it will be much simpler, and throwing these envoys directly to Denglai will be considered Qi Huo.

But Emperor Chongzhen, who had only seen the footage of the navy's missile launch in later TV programs or movies, now has the opportunity to watch his own naval live-fire exercises, so can he bear it?

Even if it's just a shell, it doesn't matter if you don't even have a concept of missiles, it's just ignition, launch, explosion, and then work hard towards the goal of nuclear leveling the world.

Now some of them look very good, you can't ask for too much.

Emperor Chongzhen is a must-go. And if Emperor Chongzhen wants to go, the envoys must first come to the capital to meet Emperor Chongzhen - this is also etiquette.

No matter how reluctant Emperor Chongzhen is, it is unlikely that he will be able to screw those old men in the Ministry of Rites in this matter.

And even if this matter is a toss-up, it is just a toss of those envoys of the Fan State, which is not a matter of concern to Emperor Chongzhen.

In this way, Emperor Chongzhen is even more unlikely to care.

After thinking about it, Emperor Chongzhen ordered: "It is scheduled for the first day of the fourth month of the third year of Chongzhen." ”

If it was before the first year of Chongzhen, or even before the second year of Chongzhen, Emperor Chongzhen's request, Zhang Weixian didn't dare to agree to it.

Nothing else, in addition to normal drills, the guards also have to plant crops - April is the spring plowing season, at this time do not go to the fields but run to engage in military exercises?

Broken head, right?

It's just that after Emperor Chongzhen ascended the throne, he set the rules, and the guards were not allowed to cultivate anymore, but became professional soldiers.

As for all non-commissioned officers who are not suitable for further battle, they will all be transferred to the agricultural reclamation corps on the spot, and there is no need to engage in a large amount of military training like professional soldiers, except for simple military drills.

In addition, Zhang Weixian is not a fool, so he obviously discovered the benefits, so he was naturally willing to implement it under the framework of the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies.

So far, the guards of the Ming Dynasty have been clearly divided into two factions.

Some of them are purely professional soldiers with the New Army and the Beijing Battalion as the main backbone, and the war machine does not need to pay attention to anything other than killing people with knives and serving the emperor.

The other part was selected and eliminated to become the soldiers of the Reclamation Corps.

As for the selection criteria, in fact, in the eyes of later generations, there are some non-dramatic criteria.

One is physical condition.

For example, those with disabilities, lack of height, lack of strength, and some are over 40 years old, all of them are considered to be unqualified;

The other is the condition of the mind.

For example, those who only think about their own affairs in their heads and do not have the courage to die for Emperor Chongzhen on the battlefield are all considered unqualified in terms of ideological conditions.

These people all entered the Family Reclamation Legion.

In this way, the strong combat strength of the regular army is ensured, and the non-commissioned officers who have been laid off will not be unable to adapt to the social life of normal people after leaving the army.

Emperor Chongzhen knew that even if there was a psychiatrist in later generations, people who had been on the battlefield and ordinary people were completely different concepts.

As for whether it was a battlefield stress reaction or a psychological trauma of war, Emperor Chongzhen did not understand.

But the news from Lao Mei's side alone is enough to make people feel shocked.

And it's not just Lao Mei, Emperor Chongzhen himself also has such a person around him.

It was a veteran who had been on the battlefield in Korea, and according to his seniority, Emperor Chongzhen still called him grandfather.

This veteran looked at people very strangely, never looking at people with the same eyes, or rarely when he looked at people with his eyes.

He has always tilted his head slightly, and one eye has been slightly squinted.

It's like picking out where to start, or aiming a non-existent rifle at someone's head.

Even when the leaders who drove cars to the village to visit the elderly got out of the car, the old people looked at them in exactly the same way.

There were even a few times when Emperor Chongzhen saw a flash of light in the old man's slightly cloudy eyes.

When the old man was still alive, Emperor Chongzhen was still relatively young, and he didn't understand much about these.

It wasn't until he grew up that Emperor Chongzhen listened to the older generation tell the story of this old man, and he also knew how terrible this seemingly harmless old man was.

When the old man first returned to the village, everyone was actually very happy and welcomed him back.

But it didn't take long for everything to change.

The old man is still the same old man, and the villagers are still the same villagers, but the relationship between the two sides has become extremely delicate.
