Chapter 182: Madame Review
Besides, he didn't sleep, but went to bed and sat on the table to practice, the sense of crisis in his heart has become more and more urgent, and the kung fu of cultivating the heart needs to be enhanced, what he admires most is that Wang Shouren is surrounded by the enemy, his heart is still not chaotic, and he is like a god, defeating King Ning's 100,000 elite masters with inferior soldiers, and achieving great achievements in one fell swoop.
Mind is not useless, science is the same, he has no real introduction to both, but the heart of kung fu is practiced since childhood, he believes that no matter science or mind, it is from the heart, to practice the heart, the difference should not be too big, of course, if in theory, doctrine, then there is a world of difference.
This difference is not a difference between high and low, but a difference between what is right and what is wrong, and it is difficult to judge its merits.
For the golden dragon in his body, he has always been curious, and sometimes he feels a little frightened, not knowing what will happen once it is fully grown, whether it will swallow itself in one gulp, or whether it will achieve himself.
This kind of thing is basically a flash of thought, and it is useless to think about it, and he can't do anything to change it.
In the morning, he told Xiao Nier that he had invited Mrs. Qi Jiguang to the house for a family dinner.
"What should I do, our chef can eat with his own family, but he is a handsome lady, and he is tired of eating delicacies from the mountains and seas every day, what do we give to others to eat." Xiao Nier panicked.
Besides, he said with a smile: "No matter how rich they are, they can't eat the delicacies of the mountains and seas, no one can stand eating that thing for a long time, and home-cooked food is the most nourishing." The cook is a problem, send someone to the restaurant to please. ”
Besides, the invitation is basically a hard invitation, usually Zhou Dingcheng takes someone to show the brand of Jinyiwei to invite people, who dares not to come? It's not that you don't pay your wages!
After hearing this, Zuo Ling smiled and said, "What are you please, we have a good cook." ”
Besides, Zuo Ling explained to him, saying that it was a street where the teahouse, in fact, some of them also operated a restaurant business, and there were several cooks in Beijing who were famous in Beijing.
"It's good to do this, I didn't expect you to be very far-sighted." Besides, he nodded.
He just seized that street, he didn't care about the specific operation, and he didn't even ask how to run it, the teahouse belonged to Li Xiangjun, but Zuo Ling was in charge of one street.
She laughs at herself for being hard work, but she still likes to do this kind of thing, just like she likes calligraphy and painting, and she is full of strength and addiction to doing it.
"Is Yahuan enough?" Besides, he asked.
"That's enough, those twenty sisters are still idle, don't use it in vain." Left Ridge Road.
Besides, he also agreed, Qi Jiguang's wife likes military martial arts, and Xiao Xueyi and their maids can have more topics. Zuo Ling kills two birds with one stone, and will never let go of the opportunity to step on them, in her eyes, these people may be the objects of competition with her in the future.
The three of them studied for a morning, drew up the menu, checked the drinks and ingredients, etc., and then went to the university with confidence.
Throughout the day, besides, he accompanied him throughout the whole process, he didn't dare to be the shopkeeper in this matter, he was not only accompanying Qi Jiguang, but also studying, and he might also need to personally preside over these military formations in the future, if he didn't understand anything at that time, it would not be a joke, it might be a lot of lives.
Ji Chang and other guards are also learning, especially Qi Jiguang's flag orders, they feel very fresh, but very practical, the sound on the battlefield is noisy, giving orders may not be heard by everyone, flag orders can be given accurately and clearly, and can be conveyed to everyone in a timely manner.
"I learned this set from the pirates at the beginning, they were on the sea, each ship was very far away, they passed messages to each other, and they relied on flags to give orders, although the army used flag orders from the two Han Dynasty, but there was really no complete flag order." Qi Jiguang explained.
"I think that when Zheng He went to the West, the flag language should be sound, right?" Besides, he asked.
"Of course, at that time, my Ming Navy was rampant all over the world, and no one could stop me, but unfortunately, in the end, it was all destroyed by itself, and it was impossible to find the information at that time, and I still had to learn from the pirates, which was really embarrassing." Qi Jiguang sighed.
Besides, he also sighed in his heart, but he could understand that now the country is struggling to even support officers and soldiers, and it is impossible to maintain a strong navy, and the cost difference between the navy and the army is too much.
At that time, I don't know what Emperor Yongle and Zheng He did, why couldn't they scavenge enough resources and wealth from overseas? Is it really because of Emperor Yongle's short-sightedness, who thought that overseas was barren and did not allow Zheng He to loot wealth?
It is also possible that the colonization of various places by the European powers later was simply a policy of extermination, and they still had the face to invent a * crime hundreds of years later, and their ancestors were all * criminals.
The Chinese Empire was founded on Confucianism, paying attention to gentleness, courtesy, and frugality, and mainly preached and indoctrination for the barbarian tribes, rather than plundering and exterminating.
Perhaps it is precisely because of this that the Chinese Empire failed to go to the world and colonize various places like the European powers, otherwise America would have long been China's territory, after all, it was Zheng He's first to reach the Americas, and he also reached Africa, not Columbus, Magellan, these adventurers and slave traders.
China's industrialization has not been carried out, but there is no demand, if there is a huge demand for overseas colonization, China's industrialization may be the first to be completed, after all, looms, hydropower, etc. have been very mature in the Ming Dynasty, not to mention ship technology, artillery technology, the germ of industrialization has emerged.
The West was the first to invent and complete industrialization, and the main driving force was the huge demand for overseas plunder and colonization. The invention and creation of science and technology have advanced by leaps and bounds precisely because of the huge demand for them, and during World War II, if it were not for the great threat posed by Hitler, the United States would not have been able to research and invent the United States with all its national efforts*, and nuclear technology may not have surfaced until several years later.
China's ancestors did not do evil, they must have accumulated merits for their children and grandchildren, and the Chinese nation endured a century of humiliation and finally ushered in prosperity. It is too early to say whether the crimes committed by the Western powers will have retribution, and it is difficult to predict who will have the last laugh.
In the evening, besides, he didn't invite everyone to drink, everyone knew that he and Qi Jiguang had a family banquet.
In the evening, several carriages arrived at the mansion under the escort of a group of young and handsome soldiers.
Besides, the middle door was also wide open, and the guards lined up in the vestibule and the outer house to welcome them, and after the carriage stopped, they first got down two maid rings, and helped a noble lady down from a car in the middle. Qi Jiguang was also in the car, and at this time he walked out and stood straight beside his wife, like a faithful bodyguard.
Besides, with Zuo Ling and Xiao Nier, Qi Jiguang introduced his wife to Besides and the two ladies.
"This is the state of the adult, so young, just too beautiful, not like a soldier." Mrs. Qi is very bold, and she does not have the sour and rancid taste of ordinary noble ladies who pretend to be reserved.
"This, Brother Yunming is actually a literati, not a soldier." Qi Jiguang bowed and said in his wife's ear.
"Oh, this lady is Mrs. Zuo, Fengyang is a flower, it is really a beautiful shameful flower. The two of you are a good match, a beautiful couple. Mrs. Qi did not hesitate to praise her.
"Thank you, Madame, for the compliment." Zuo Ling's big and generous way.
"This is Mrs. Xiao, I've admired it for a long time." When she saw Xiao Nier, she said a word, obviously feeling that compared with Zuo Ling, Xiao Nier was too bad.
Xiao Nier is not annoyed, she doesn't care what others think of her, and how she looks is the most important, as long as she loves her, it is enough.
Besides, he stepped forward and bowed; "Please Mrs. Qi to review."
When he boarded, the military music was played, and this was still the various military music that had been sent to him a long time ago, and I don't know if it was because everything was transported directly from the palace or for other reasons, and there was absolutely no military band for ordinary generals, and there was a formal establishment here, which should be the etiquette that only the prince had.
Besides, he didn't understand these cumbersome etiquette systems, he had seen these military music a long time ago, and he didn't pay attention to it all the time, and he only remembered it today. Thinking of Mrs. Qi Jiguang's fond of the pomp and circumstance of the review, she simply asked people to bring all the instruments of military music, and found a few guards who used to make these instruments to practice for a day.
It is said that every time Emperor Yongle went on an expedition, he always brought a military band with him, not because he liked music or military music, but because he liked this kind of pomp and excitement.
When Mrs. Qi heard the military music, she was stunned and looked at Qi Jiguang.
Qi Jiguang was also stunned, what kind of etiquette is this? I haven't heard of this for many years, only the Son of Heaven and the Prince can have military music, and how can there be military music here?
Besides, seeing the faces of the two of them, I still don't understand what's going on, could it be that the tune is playing wrong? Or what are the taboos of Qi Jiguang and his wife?
"This, Brother Yunming's sixth guard in brocade clothes is the emperor's pro-army, and he will be the minister of the Qin mission when he goes out in the future." Qi Jiguang can only explain it this way.
"Oh, no wonder it's so pompous, it's the first time I've seen it." Mrs. Qi also smiled.
"You can't really be the illegitimate son of the former emperor, right?" She asked again.
Besides, when he heard this, he almost choked on his saliva and said with a wry smile; "This is definitely not, I have nothing to do with the royal family."
Qi Jiguang took advantage of his wife's inattention, and hurriedly hugged his fists to express his apology.
Besides, I don't care, anyway, rumors that he is the emperor's illegitimate son have been flying all over the sky.
Mrs. Qi originally didn't believe in this kind of rumor, but when she saw the military music that only the prince could be qualified to enjoy, she believed it a little, otherwise it wouldn't make sense.
"The sixth guard of brocade clothes is a little special, especially valued by the emperor." Qi Jiguang hurriedly explained.
He also knew that this explanation was not reasonable, but he could only explain it like this, otherwise he could only say that he was the illegitimate son of the emperor and had the qualifications of a prince.
"Madam, you'd better review." Qi Jiguang stretched out his hand and asked.
"Okay." Madame Qi likes to do this kind of thing the most, and she walks between the guards with a group of maids in strong suits and short swords at their waists, completely like a review ambassador.
