Chapter 25 College Concert Niu Jinxing Visits

On October 16, the twentieth year of Chongzhen, Zhang Zhimu looked at the desk calendar on the table and felt a little emotional. I've been here for almost six years, and I don't know what happened to my family in my previous life. However, I haven't wasted a day in the past six years, the entire Ming Dynasty has undergone tremendous changes, and history has indeed changed.

Now the life of the kiln gang people is extraordinarily comfortable, if you say that you were a little worried before, the emperor allowed the kiln gang to always be like this, and you are also worried, will Li Zicheng come back if he is not convinced? But now I don't even think about it. The people of Yaogang enjoy everything that Yaogang brings to them. People seem to have a soft spot for movies, and the two movies are released in rotation, but everyone still enjoys it. Some people can even memorize the lines in the movie very smoothly. The movie interlude is even more humming by almost everyone.

There are a few things that have attracted everyone's attention. "Yaogang Weekly" reported that after a long period of trial operation, the passenger car has improved some deficiencies, and will soon be put into production a batch, ready to be put into use in Yaogang, in order to solve the problem of insufficient transportation. Tram lines are too fixed to reach many places, so with a car, you can freely arrange the line to make up for the lack of tram transportation. How to arrange the bus line, "Yaogang Weekly", "Yaogang Daily", and the radio station jointly issued an article entitled "Building Our Beautiful Home Together", telling everyone that Yaogang is all of us, soliciting everyone's opinions, and calling on everyone to put forward their own suggestions.

The residents of Yaogang felt the feeling of being the masters. People were talking about it, and many people wrote letters to the newspaper to put forward their opinions.

Zhang Zhimu knew that Editor-in-Chief Fan understood his conversation with him last time and had already begun to act. Zhang Zhimu was extremely happy in his heart, because this was not the task assigned by himself, it was Editor-in-Chief Fan who found the focus by themselves. It's completely different from completing a task you've set yourself.

Another thing is that the trial operation of telephones that can be used for automatic dialing has begun. The first automatic exchange was installed in the Yaogang office building, and each office was equipped with a telephone that could be automatically dialed, and the telephones of each office were renumbered, and the calls between offices could be dialed directly. If you call the Yaogang office building, dialing a "0" is equivalent to the previous external line to shake the phone. Of course, this matter should be of special concern for those who already have a phone at home, and even more so for those who have been thinking about installing a phone but have not been in line.

Zhang Zhimu used the dial-up phone made by Yang Chang and them, and felt that it was very convenient. He knew that Yang Chang and the others had worked hard in the past two years. Next year, we will be able to come up with a district trial dial-up phone. These old-fashioned hand-cranked telephones may have to be sent to remote areas for use.

There is another thing that has caused everyone to talk about it. That is, Zhang Zhimu and Xiao Hongyu held a concert for students in the auditorium of Yaogang College.

Originally, Zhang Zhimu just wanted to have a lively time with his classmates, but he didn't expect that not only the students of Yaogang College came, but also many students from other schools, and even many people jumped over the wall. The hallways were full of people.

Xiao Hongyu also made full preparations for this concert, brought a band over, and invited the male and female protagonists of the movie "Love in the Fenhe" over. The students of Yaogang College were also very cooperative, and they engraved many of the songs prepared by Xiao Hongyu into a wax plate and printed them into a book. A lot of students are scrambling to read these songbooks.

As soon as everyone entered, the atmosphere in the auditorium became enthusiastic. Seeing that the students can have such passion now, Zhang Zhimu is happy in his heart. These energetic students can take on the mission of the rise and fall of the world in the future.

There was a burst of relaxing music, and the auditorium fell silent.

After a piece of the band's relaxed music stopped, Zhang Zhimu spoke first: "Good evening, teachers and students! ”

A round of applause was reciprocated below.

Zhang Zhimu continued: "Xiao Hongyu told me that the students of our Yaogang Academy are now very active. Let's meet, get married and go back to her parents' house with her, and let's have a lively time with everyone. Today, as soon as we entered the auditorium, I found that our students were really vibrant, and I was very, very happy in my heart, because I knew that such a group of people could take on the mission of the rise and fall of the world! ”

Zhang Zhimu's words were very heavy, and the students below were stunned at first, and then there was more enthusiastic applause. got such a high evaluation from Zhang Zhimu, the classmates didn't expect it. In fact, this is Zhang Zhimu's feelings, Yaogang College is now the highest institution in Yaogang and even the world, and the teachers here are the highest in all schools in Yaogang, as long as the students are active in their minds, they have the opportunity to contact all kinds of people. Get in touch with the big things happening in the world. There will be a few outstanding people among them, or a group of outstanding people.

Zhang Zhimu changed his words and said, "I know that my voice is not suitable for this elegant hall, but the reason why I am here is because none of the outsiders who come here. I just want to talk to you about it. I also want to tell you that music is something that each of us can enjoy, and we can express our thoughts and feelings, no matter how good or bad our voice is. However, when I sing for a while, the sound is really unbearable for you to hear, so don't give me a cheer, cover your ears for a while and it will pass. ”

As soon as Zhang Zhimu's words fell, he opened the pot with a smile. The students had never seen Zhang Zhimu speak like this, and this form was rare.

Xiao Hongyu and the band on the stage were also amused by Zhang Zhimu's humorous speech, and they bent over. Seeing that the people on the stage are happy like this, the people below are even happier. Xiao Hongyu didn't expect that Zhang Zhimu would be more free on stage. I was still thinking that if Zhang Zhimu was nervous, he would have to round the field for him. Now it seems that the original idea was simply redundant.

After laughing enough on and off the stage, Zhang Zhimu said: "Today, in addition to inviting the best musicians from our kiln to accompany us, we also invited these two movie stars to cheer everyone up. ”

The two celebrities came to the stage to give everyone a salute. The young students in the audience responded with cheers and applause.

Before the performance even began, the atmosphere in the auditorium was already very lively.

Zhang Zhimu first played the guitar and sang "See the Smoke Rise Again". Although Zhang Zhimu's voice was a little hoarse, it was very magnetic. Singing affectionately, the students below almost held their breath. The very graphic song "See the Smoke Rises Again" made everyone devote themselves to the picture of the twilight cooking smoke.

After the song was sung, everyone was stunned for a moment before they thought of applauding.

As soon as the applause fell, Zhang Zhimu said: "It seems that my singing voice is still welcomed by most people, so I will sing another song "On the Water Side" to everyone." ”

The affectionate song "On the Water Side" immersed everyone in a dreamlike realm. Zhang Zhimu left a little time for everyone to reminisce. He also saw that there were many people who quietly wiped tears from the corners of their eyes while listening to the song.

Zhang Zhimu's song "Plum Blossom Three Alleys" set off another **. The lyrics of this song are very suitable for today's young students, especially the sentence "Ask what time and conditions are, and teach people to live and die" deeply moved the students.

Zhang Zhimu's opening three songs had a very good effect, which was beyond Xiao Hongyu's expectations, and Xiao Hongyu, who has a lot of stage experience, sang a lighter song "Story of a Small Town". The relaxed and graceful "Tale of a Small Town" is very suitable for Xiao Hongyu's soft singing, and because of this song, many students can sing it. When Xiao Hongyu sang, the students below couldn't help but sing along.

Then Xiao Hongyu sang "Sweet Honey", "The Place of First Love", "The Moon Represents My Heart", "Moonlight in the City", "Night Fragrance", "He Rijun Comes Again", "Lover" and other classic songs from her previous life. In the middle, the two movie stars performed the movie "Love in the Fen River" episode "Ninety-Nine Sunny Days".

Until the end, the students stood up and refused to leave, and kept applauding, and Zhang Zhimu and Xiao Hongyujia sang a lot of tunes. Zhang Zhimu finally said: "There is no banquet that will not be dispersed. We have been here for a long time, and in the future, Xiao Hongyu and I will try our best to arrange time to get together with our classmates. ”

In fact, not only in this auditorium, many people are following the singers with emotions. Yaogang Radio Station broadcast the performance live. More listeners.

Of course, many conservatives oppose such a thing, because they believe that as Zhang Zhimu, he should not appear on such an occasion, let alone sing on stage. But young people don't care about this, after listening to Zhang Zhimu and Xiao Hongyu's singing, they understand that people should fall in love freely like Zhang Zhimu and Xiao Hongyu, and being with their beloved is the happiest thing.

Emperor Chongzhen laughed when he heard Zhang Zhimu sing on stage in person, but when he heard Zhang Zhimu's speech to the students, he felt that Zhang Zhimu was buying people's hearts. I felt that Zhang Zhimu was doing whatever it took to buy people's hearts. But when he heard Zhang Zhimu's singing, he really thought it was good, he didn't understand that this was an obscene cliché, and he shouldn't be in the hall of elegance, why did Zhang Zhimu disregard his face and behave like this. Anyway, these songs are really good. During the whole concert, Emperor Chongzhen didn't even go to the toilet, for fear of missing the listen.

After listening, Emperor Chongzhen felt that he was really cheap, and these things should not be listened to. This hateful Zhang Zhimu makes everyone in the world listen to these things, and he doesn't mess up. Although Emperor Chongzhen was very angry, he couldn't help but let people inform Gonggong Li in Yaogang that if the Yaogang people released the concert records, don't forget to buy them back. Emperor Chongzhen has now collected a lot of records from Yaogang. He knows that according to the habits of Yaogang, concerts such as the Spring Festival Gala will generally be released after the record.

Also listening to the concert were Li Zicheng and Liu Zongmin.

It turned out that Liu Zongmin was preparing to lead an inspection group composed of some generals to Yaogang, which was to bid farewell to Li Zicheng. Niu Jinxing and a group of civilian officials had already set off first. But the concert in Yaogang began, and Li Zicheng waved his hand to stop Liu Zongmin and asked him to listen to the concert with him.

As soon as Liu Zongmin listened to it, this concert was really good. Until the two listened to the concert, Li Zicheng said to Liu Zongmin: "Zongmin! Don't forget to buy me the record of this concert when you get to Yaogang! ”

"Good! You can rest assured. Liu Zongmin said: "I didn't expect this Zhang Zhimu to sing a little song!" It's really nice. ”

"Zong Min! If you want to change your words, you will have to call Mr. Zhang in the future. But they didn't sing a ditty. It's not that good! ”

"Good! I changed my name to Mr. Zhang. ”

"Don't think I'm verbose, when you get to the kiln, be polite to others, you are guests, and you are learning from others. If you are polite, people will respect you. Li Zicheng said, "To be honest, after arriving at the kiln, you will understand that we really have nothing to be unkind to others." I'm really a little worried, the people you brought are all rolling over from the pile of dead people on the battlefield, but don't get into trouble after drinking in the kiln. It's really about equality before the law. If you cause trouble, it will be me and Zhang Dongjia who will be in trouble. If you don't deal with your face, the law is child's play. It's going to be hard for everyone! Li Zicheng said.

"Alas! Speaking of home, isn't it true that we come out to rebel because everyone is not equal? I've told them several times that if anyone can't control themselves, stay and go. If you go and don't use the kiln gang to make trouble, I won't spare him! Liu Zongmin was very excited.

"I don't know what heaven will be like in the future? But I think the world is like a kiln, it's all heaven. When you get there, take a good look and ask more. It's normal not to understand. If you don't understand, just ask, there is no shame in the kiln! Li Zicheng said.

"Hey, hey! Master, you should worry too much! We've all seen the world, and the military advisor has already told us most of the problems, including the things we need to pay attention to when. Hehe! Liu Zongmin said with a smile.

"A military advisor is a careful person. He is afraid that you will not understand and go to make a fool of yourself! However, it's okay, it's not just us who make a fool of ourselves when we go to the kiln. Those who haven't been there will inevitably make a fool of themselves. Li Zicheng said, "When I arrived at the Yaogang Military Academy, I learned more from them about the experience of using muskets." We will immediately complete the reorganization and send 500 officers to the kiln post for training in batches. I have already talked to Mr. Ouyang about this. By the way, how about they promised us a brand new uniform? ”

"Good! Master, you rest, I won't come over tomorrow, take them on a boat and leave directly. After speaking, Liu Zongmin said goodbye and went out.

Li Zicheng now feels more relaxed than he has ever been. Although, after coming back, it took a lot of effort to persuade these civil and military generals who wanted to sit in the world with him. But here's where the reality is. One by one, they did not wait or admit that Li Zicheng's choice was the most correct.

After Li Zicheng let go of the idea of being the emperor, he felt much more relaxed. I used to fight for my life, and then I fought for the world. But it's never easy. Now the trouble will be solved by the kiln people, and I can really relax for a few days.

Editor-in-chief Fan: They quickly made the recordings of the concerts and sold them on record. The record was sold out on the first day it hit the counter.

Editor-in-chief Fan had no choice but to let the record factory work overtime to produce.

Niu Jinxing and they came to Yaogang together after meeting Chen Yufeng and Ouyang He at the Zhenjiang Shipbuilding Base.

The former enemies are now seeing each other, and it is especially delicious. That night, the two sides fought to the death for a drink. After a drink, everyone is friends. It turns out that people are all the same, and only when they stand in their own positions, they fight to the death. Now that the wine is drunk and the words are open, it is easy to become good friends.

Together, they boarded the ship from Yangzhou and chartered the top cabin. Although, the weather is a little cold. However, everyone is still willing to enjoy the scenery on the top deck.

Since Niu Jinxing followed Li Zicheng, although he has become Li Zicheng's son-in-law, he has never been so easy. He not only has to pay attention to the other people around Li Zicheng, but also has to plan all kinds of things for Li Zicheng. Not a moment has passed. Now I really feel like it's good to let it go.

When he arrived in Kaifeng, Niu Jinxing insisted on going to see the new channel of the Yellow River. Ouyang He accompanied a group of them to watch for a long time.

Niu Jinxing was very emotional, and said to Ouyang He: "Alas! I did some water conservancy projects in Shaanxi, and I thought it was amazing. I can't even think about what you're doing. We all know that the Yellow River is going out to sea, but only you dare to change it back. It's really better than people! ”

"I know that you have only learned eight buckets, and there are many things that need to be done in the whole world." Ouyang He said, "When you pacify Annan, I suggest that you come to Yaogang with King Chuang, we can do a lot of things together." In the future, you will know when you see our Mr. Zhang. Everything he thought about was such a big thing. Everywhere else is afraid of many people, only our kiln gang is not afraid of many people, especially capable people. Because we have too much to do. ”

"Good! I will go back and persuade the emperor. Niu Jinxing is still called the emperor to Li Zicheng.

When the ship left Kaifeng, Niu Jinxing drank tea seemingly unintentionally, and said to Chen Yufeng and Song Xiance: "When the emperor returned to Lin'an (Hangzhou), he said that he had a good talk with Zhang Dongjia. Many of our brothers couldn't think about it for a while, and they couldn't accept it all at once. The military advisor and I knew very well in our hearts that this was the wisest decision made by the emperor. We also persuaded everyone together. In fact, everyone understands the truth, but they can't think about it all of a sudden. The emperor brought me, the military advisor, and General Quan over, and said, whether you are civil or military, you must go to Daoyaogang to open your eyes, and if you don't go to Yaogang, you are a frog at the bottom of the well, and you only know the sky above your head. I first brought this group of people to Yaogang to have a look. Actually, it's all a small matter. I do have some ideas about the arrangements for our trip to Annan. ”

Chen Yufeng and Ouyang He looked at each other, and Ouyang He said, "We all know that Mr. Niu is a master. We'd like to hear it! ”

"Don't you dare to be a master!" Niu Jinxing was a little polite, "I think, let's go, you are taking over Zhejiang and dealing with Zheng Zhilong, this may be a little inappropriate." Of course, if our two families haven't completely intertwined and have a grudge, it's safer for you to do so. However, I see that the emperor and Zhang Dongjia are now sincere to each other, and the support and care you give us far exceeds that of ordinary friends, if you do this again, I don't think it is the best practice. ”

"Huh! Mr. Niu, please tell me the details. Ouyang He glanced at Chen Yufeng and said.

Chen Yufeng also smiled slightly and nodded.

Niu Jinxing saw that his words had attracted the attention of Chen Yufeng and Ouyang He, and then said: "We are now a family, so we should do a family thing." You can take advantage of your naval army to surround Zheng Zhilong from the sea, don't let them escape. We've been reorganized, and we've replenished our weapons, and we've increased our combat power. We can enter Fujian by land. If we join forces to completely solve Zheng Zhilong's words, can we also have this road from the sea when we go to Annan? ”

"Huh! We thought about it together. Chen Yufeng also admired Niu Jinxing for thinking of this problem, and said, "I was about to go back to Yaogang with Mr. Ouyang to talk to Zhimu about this." I'm going to let Zhimu tell you about it. I didn't expect Mr. Niu to say this first. If it is like what Mr. Niu said, you will have to go to Annam later. Because our warship does not have the ability to guarantee that Zheng Zhilong's warship will not be let go for the time being. ”

"Could it be that Zheng Zhilong's navy still has a warship that can beat you?" There is something strange about Bull Venus.

"That's not it," Chen Yufeng said, "and our idea is to keep all of Zheng Zhilong's warships, not sink a few of them." They have accumulated a lot of wealth over the years. We don't want to let them go. ”

"Haha! People say that you kiln gang people don't fight a losing battle. I think that's exactly what happened! Niu Jinxing said with a laugh.

"To win the battle, we must maximize the benefits." Ouyang He said, "You see, the Ming Dynasty is full of holes, and when it resumes construction, where is there no need for silver?" ”

"Yes! You're not going to take one place now. It's a good idea to occupy a place and stabilize a place, but unfortunately we understand it too late! Niu Jinxing said.

"There are only things that have not been done, and there are no things that are late. This is what Mr. Zhang often says. Ouyang He said, "You have to face this problem when you go to Annam. ”

"If, according to the method I said, to solve the Fujian problem, when will you be ready?" Niu Venus asked.

"This will have to wait until at least later next year," Mr. Ouyang said, "and we are building a second 5,000-ton ship here in Zhenjiang." We will have at least two large ships of 5,000 tons next year. With such a large ship to follow the fleet, we can continue to fight at sea. Use our maneuverability to compensate for the lack of our number of warships. A long blockade at sea. ”

"Oops! This man is a little worse than others. Niu Jinxing sighed with emotion.

"Mr. Niu, to be honest, we already admire you very much when you can see this move." Ouyang He said, "Because you don't have as many intelligence resources as we have, it is impossible for you to make the same judgment as us." This is not a difference between people and people, but a gap in the overall strength of the two groups. ”

Niu Jinxing nodded admiringly and said, "That's what you said." The military advisor and I have always been unconvinced, why are we so much worse than you kiln people? Now I can see some of the reasons. ”

The boat crossed the Kaiyuan New River and came to Fenglingdu. The ship could not go forward. Because the Fen River has begun to freeze. Just as they got off the boat and were about to change trains, they heard the sound of gongs and drums and firecrackers by the river. The staff on the pier told them that it was the first pier cofferdam of the Tongguan Bridge that successfully sat on the bottom.

Chen Yufeng and Ouyang He knew that this meant that if this construction plan was successful, the construction of the bridge piers would be accelerated next year.

Curious Bull Venus, I have to go to the river to have a look. When I arrived at the river, I took a boat to the cofferdam at the bottom and asked the construction personnel this and that. At this time, Niu Venus was agitated by an inexplicable force in his heart, and he couldn't calm down. The unique pride of a Chinese literati made Niu Jinxing seem to be a rare impulse, and those officials of the Dashun Dynasty who came with Niu Jinxing rarely saw Niu Jinxing lose his temper like this.

Niu Jinxing heard Song Xiance say that the Yaogang people should build a dual-purpose bridge that can pass through roads and railways in Tongguan. Although Niu Jinxing had never taken a train before, he saw that the scope of a bridge pier was so huge, and he understood that this bridge was definitely a huge project.

Until Niu Jinxing followed Chen Yufeng and them to board the train, he couldn't stay in the soft sleeper car, came to the dining car, and talked to everyone non-stop. These officials of the Dashun Dynasty, who were riding the train for the first time, calmed down from the excitement and began to enjoy the scenery speeding past outside the window.

Seeing Chen Yufeng and Ouyang He coming to the dining car, the people around Niu Jinxing hurriedly got out of the way.

Chen Yufeng and Ouyang He sat down, Niu Jinxing personally served the tea, and asked, "What are you going to do with that Zuo Liangyu?" ”
