Chapter III: Planning
(By the way, I plan to write the history of the late Ming Dynasty into three books, the first part is about the clan, the second part is about scholars, and the third part is about ordinary people, so as to show you the end of the Ming Dynasty in the eyes of people of different classes through the trilogy.) These words should be put in the preface, but I am too lazy to change them, so I put them directly in the text! )
Ma Cheng listened to his mother like a bolt from the blue, and the only thing he relied on when he traveled to this era was to be familiar with history. Still playing a fart dynasty for supremacy? Still playing a fart family and a big country? Without the golden finger of history, no one can play with it, and it is almost the same to be played with!
Thinking of this, Ma Cheng ignored the serious injury on his head, took his mother Gu's hand and said: "Mother, go and send a letter to your father, don't support King Lu and King Gui, you must support King Fu!" ”
Ma Cheng's thinking is very simple, he wants to move history back to his familiar track, but he forgot his current identity, to put it nicely, he is soft-spoken, and if it doesn't sound good, it's the second generation of eunuchs, who is not bullshit, can those bigwigs in the DPRK and China listen to his words?
Although Gu Shi didn't know the situation in the DPRK and China without studying, he also knew that what his son said was impossible at all. Gu Shi scolded: "You kid really hurt your head, don't say that your father can listen to you if you are soft-spoken, it is your father who believes you." But can those adults in the court listen to your father? ”
Although Gu is a woman, after all, his father and brother are officialdom figures, and he knows that although his father-in-law Ma Shiying is a second-grade soldier and the governor of Fengyang, this kind of identity is nothing in the eyes of those bigwigs in Nanjing.
Gu Shi looked at the anxious Ma Cheng and sighed and said, "Son, if you want those ministers in the court to listen to you, you have to study hard, and learn from your eldest brother to take the rank of scholar early, so that is the right way, do you know?" ”
After Gu Shi finished speaking, he saw that his son was not in any danger, stood up and said to Gu San beside him: "Gu San, you have to follow the second young master at all times, do you know?" ”
Gu San hurriedly bowed down and said, "Please rest assured, Grandma Gu San will definitely protect the second master this time!" "Gu San is the dowry slave that Gu brought from his mother's family, and this hurry has told Gu's title in his mother's family.
After Gu finished speaking, he looked at his son and said: "Son, don't leave the house if you are injured, just take this opportunity to study at home, your father is estimated to be back in a few days, this time I want to ask your book for my mother, can I help you!" ”
After Gu finished speaking, he got up and went out with his daughter-in-law Zhang and daughter Ma, Ma Cheng quickly stood up and bowed down and said, "Son sends mother!" ”
When Gu Shi came out of the room, Ma Cheng lay on the bed and pretended to be dead again, of course, this time it was not a headache and a coma, but Ma Cheng was very optimistic about his future.
In history, Ma Shiying controlled the Southern Ming Dynasty by supporting the Fu Wang, although the court was in a miasma, but the absolute power was still in the hands of Ma Shiying, Ma Cheng also planned to borrow Ma Shiying's prestige at the beginning, and at the same time use the future knowledge he mastered to train tens of thousands of strong teams in a year, and he will definitely be able to fight the Manchu Qing Dynasty when the time comes.
But now it's good, Ma Shiying actually listened to Shi Kefa's desire to support King Gui and King Lu, King Gui Ma Cheng has heard that the Yongli Emperor who replaced the dead ghost Zhu Yousong is King Gui Zhu Youlang, but I haven't heard of which onion King Lu is. Now that Ma Shiying wants to support these two, the fart government that is still in control, naturally Ma Cheng's great goal has also become the moon in the water.
Ma Cheng lay down for a long time and sat up and said, "Gu San, I'll bring a pen and paper for the second master!" ”
Gu San listened to this main study, this is the sun rising in the west, but Gu San didn't dare to delay, and hurriedly went to the study outside to bring the pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and at the same time brought a few books in.
The paper is good, it is the Xuan paper of Xuanzhou, the pen is also good, it is the wolf of Huzhou, and the ink is not ordinary, it is the Xuanyuan Lingqi ink made by Cheng Junfang, this kind of ink is as fine as jade, and it is not ordinary at a glance. However, these things have completely become a big road commodity in Ma Cheng's hands.
Ma Cheng's palm was like a chicken claw, grabbed the Huzhou wolf's hair, and was full of ink in the inkstone, and then opened the rice paper to splash and write. Gu San, who was on the side, also saw the second young master writing with a pen for the first time, so he hurriedly held his breath and prepared to watch the second young master's ink treasure. I knew that the brush had not yet fallen, and the ink in the pen had fallen a big drop, polluting a piece of fine rice paper.
Ma Cheng scolded angrily when he saw this: "Your mother, what kind of broken pen is this!" Gu San, go outside and find a few goose feathers for the master! ”
Gu San originally wanted to appreciate the second young master's ink treasure, but knowing that it had become like this, he had no choice but to go out to find a goose to pluck his feathers.
Gu San's efficiency was still very fast, and he walked in with a handful of goose feathers after a while.
"Second master, this is the goose feather you want!" Gu San really didn't know what Ma Cheng wanted goose feathers for, so he picked out a lot of goose feathers, some on the wings, some on the buttocks, and a lot of fluff was plucked out a lot.
Ma Cheng picked a long feather feather on his wings and looked at it to see that it was just right, cut the capillary into wedges with a knife, and then split a one-centimeter-long gap in the middle, such a simple quill was made.
Ma Cheng took a piece of rice paper and tried the quill pen, which was not bad, but the rice paper was a little cloudy, but it was perfectly solved by increasing the font.
Ma Cheng's making quills is very simple, just to have a plan for the future, after all, now Lao Tzu is unreliable and can only rely on himself.
Ma Cheng took the quill pen and thought about it, what is the most important thing in those novels that later generations have read? The first is steel, Ma Cheng wrote a big word on rice paper, and then wrote steelmaking. Ma Cheng was worried after writing it, and he didn't know how to make steel. Ma Cheng majored in computer science in college, and this kind of thing was not useful in the Ming Dynasty, so it was better to go to an agricultural university to study veterinary medicine.
It seems that steelmaking is not good, so Ma Cheng wrote a two words under steelmaking and gunpowder on the back. Ma Cheng still felt at a loss after writing, thanks to the ubiquitous network of later generations, Ma Cheng knew that the best ratio of black * gunpowder was fifteen parts saltpeter, three parts charcoal and two parts sulfur, and also knew that in order to increase the power of gunpowder, it would be granulated and polished, but I didn't know how to do it.
Ma Cheng thought about it, steelmaking and gunpowder are still too far away, didn't the later Taizu say that it is people who decide the victory of the war, and it seems that cultivating qualified subordinates is the key.
Ma Cheng thought of this and looked at Gu San beside him, this Gu San was of medium stature, but he was five big and three thick, and he didn't know if he had ever been a soldier.
"Gu San, have you ever been a soldier?"
Gu San heard Ma Cheng ask this and smiled: "Second master, have you forgotten?" Gu San is the family member of the commanding envoy, and the small one has the identity of a hereditary hundred households! ”
Ma Cheng was stunned when he heard Gu San say this, but he didn't expect this Gu San to still be an official!
"Oh? Tell me about your origins! ”
Gu San knew that the second young master in front of him had been hit on the head, didn't the doctor just now say that there were symptoms of soul separation, so Gu San didn't think about anything else, and explained the relationship between the Gu family and the Ma family in detail.
As a traverser, Ma Cheng had heard the deeds of the white-faced traitor Ma Shiying in later generations, but the Chinese have never liked this negative example, so there is very little information about Ma Shiying's family origin. But those loyal ministers, such as Wen Tianxiang, Shi Kefa and others, are lined with various memorial halls and temples. Today, Ma Cheng listened to Gu San's general talk about the origin of the Gu and Ma families, and sighed in his heart: Sure enough, there is no accident in success, and the family of the traitor Ma Shiying is not an ordinary soldier.
