The so-called nothing to say is so, Li Meng's knowledge of firearms and this era are too different, and apart from the conversation on the dock, Sun Hedou is not willing to say anything.

After Sun Hedou got up to greet him, he said a few kind words that were not salty or light, and sat down where he was busy, anyway, the people in the "Sun Mansion" here were all arranged by Li Meng, and they didn't need him to greet them, so the people naturally came to serve in fear, and Li Meng had someone pouring tea and water.

These old and weak military households and servant women are also accustomed to Li Meng's arrival, and after preparing the tea, they will bow and retreat, and Li Meng will greet them when they are needed.

According to the report of the observation of the Sun family, Sun Hedou is in this study every day, and it does not change because Li Menglai does not come, the weather at this time is already a little cold, but because the room is full of paper items such as books and notes, he does not dare to place heating equipment such as charcoal braziers, which is very cold.

The huge bookcase was full of books, and Sun Hedou kept transcribing and transcribing there, which when Li Meng visited for the first time, after revealing his identity, Sun Hedou explained what he was doing.

Sun Yuanhua translated and created the works of mathematics, encyclopedias and weapons before his death, all of which are the painstaking efforts of Sun Yuanhua throughout his life, and he has repeatedly said that he will organize these things into a book after Zhishi, but he has suffered a misfortune of killing, Sun Hedou likes it since he was a child and his father likes it quite consistently, so he is determined to organize these things into a book and pass them on to future generations.

After the Sun family knew Li Meng's identity as a general, they generally expressed cold hostility, after all, their family was destroyed by Hu Weishang, a Shandong military general (Liaozhen is also subordinate to Shandong, and Kong Youde is technically a Shandong military general). Speaking of which, Sun Hedou's attitude is better.

Judging from the busy affairs of these people on weekdays, Li Meng could also judge that Sun Hedou was the one who knew firearms, so his mind was on him.

To say that this deliberate effect is really bad, Li Meng is a person who doesn't even understand the rules of military generals at this time, where he can make friends with a family like Sun Hedou, and the noble and martial arts are inherently natural, not to mention Li Meng, a character who doesn't understand any rules.

At present, there can be such a lukewarm attitude, or Li Meng's blacksmiths to build the firearms, incidentally, the Zheng family recruited dozens of blacksmiths have already arrived in Jiaozhou, but after trying to build a few guns of about 700 catties, Li Meng asked them to stop, these size cannons, the power is always not up to the level they think, and they are all guns mounted on wooden box cars, it is not convenient to move.

An artillery gun needs a lot of copper and iron, and this cannon is not practical for the current Li Meng, Li Meng simply stopped, let them follow Guo Dong to make guns and weapons, seeing that the army is about to expand again, there must be some technical problems that they have not solved, I hope that the light artillery bought in Macao will be some inspiration after they get it.

Sun Hedou was there to transcribe things, and when he heard Li Meng ask, "What kind of person is Yan Jizu, the governor of Shandong", the pen in his hand paused, and said lightly:

"I didn't expect this to be the boundary of Shandong, Yan Shenqi, that is a big man in Donglin, because of the position in the matter given by the officials, Ruan Dacheng was angry and came out of Donglin to stand on his own, which is amazing."

"Rope it", Li Meng was still stunned after hearing it, the ancients called names, words, and numbers, which he still can't figure out, Sun Hedou said something that should be known to the literati Lin Gong, Li Meng nodded "Oh", the first few times Sun Hedou also asked some questions about the firecracker, these few times it seems that he has asked almost the same question, and he will no longer speak.

Li Meng remembered very clearly, this Sun Hedou was very surprised when he saw the fire gun that day, and asked a lot of questions, Li Meng knew everything, and could see the excitement of the other party.

The two of them had nothing to say, and the scene was a little embarrassingly quiet, only until the slight brushing sound of Sun Hedou writing on the paper, when Li Meng was about to say goodbye, Sun Hedou stopped writing, hesitated, and said with a smile:

"When Chongzhen was in the ninth year, Yan Yanqi gave the inscription to the current saint and said, 'Destroy the slaves first. Rebel slaves are stubborn, and righteousness must be punished. But compared with Kou, the slave is still separated from the fence, and Kou is close to the mystery; The slave is still suffering from scabies, and Kou is anointed. 'Very good! ”

This kind of literary language used to play folds is different from the vernacular, and Li Meng is really difficult to understand, but he can see that the faint smile on Sun Hedou's face is a little strange, and it doesn't seem to agree with the meaning of this sentence.

"Slave" refers to the Manchu Jurchen, "Kou" refers to the breaking army led by Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong, "scabies" and "anointment", and it is also thanks to Li Meng that Li Meng has insisted on reading and studying all these years, which is what he can understand.

The soldiers guarding in the courtyard all know the order, don't get too close to this house, and the sound of not being able to hear the voice is the standard, the soldiers are in the fort, Li Meng is a brave man, Sun Hedou is rude, but he is just a scholar, and they are also a lot more relaxed.

Suddenly heard a loud noise in the house, more than a dozen people outside immediately pulled out their weapons and stood up, the two immediately went out to contact the periphery, and the rest of the people rushed towards the house, "clang", the door of the house had been knocked open, but the guards who rushed in were stunned.

The tea bowl that was broken on the blue brick floor, Li Meng stood there and was already angry to the extreme, and the scholar sitting behind the bookcase, holding a brush in his hand, had a surprised look on his face, but he was not afraid, when the guards were scratching their heads, they heard Li Meng say in a deep voice:

"It's okay, call someone in and clean up the ground."

The guards nodded and bowed down, and closed the door directly, and when they left, they couldn't help but stare at the scholar, thinking that they really don't know what to do, and the posture of my family has been enough. They didn't notice that Li Meng's hands were shaking all the time—in a state of extreme anger.

"Why is Master Li so angry?"

Sun Hedou asked leisurely, Li Meng took a few breaths, this is how he calmed down, and said coldly:

"Governor Yan is so confused!"

Hearing Li Meng's words, Sun Hedou couldn't help laughing, the brush in his hand trembled, and he didn't notice a few bits of ink falling on the transcribed paper, and still teased:

"It's not right for Lord Li to say this, let's not mention that Yan Jizu is the lord's official, among the government and the opposition, everyone is clear, no one doesn't say so, why should your lord be angry?"

Li Meng only felt that the chest and abdomen were about to explode, but what Yan Jizu said in those literary sayings, it can often be seen in some articles, there are often things that have been handed down in China for 5,000 years, and this Ming Dynasty and the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China era after that have some things in common.

Isn't what is said in the title book the meaning of "if you go outside, you must first settle inside" and "I would rather give away friends than domestic slaves", this kind of traitorous argument has not been seen at the end of the Ming Dynasty.

If you want to say that Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong, Luo Rucai and other Shaanxi rebels, there is no overall situation, the foreign enemy is raging, they still turn the Ming Dynasty upside down, and vaguely and the Dongyu Jurchen have become a situation of internal and external collusion, and work together to bring down the Ming Empire, which is a big tree that has suffered natural and man-made disasters.

From the time when Li Zicheng entered Beijing, Shanhaiguan was defeated, and the Han people in the world were supposed to fight against the Jurchen Tartars together, they dragged their feet behind, and the people who surrendered to the Jurchen Tartars were the generals and officials of the Ming Dynasty. Even when the Ming Dynasty could only retreat to the small court of the Southern Ming Dynasty, and the remnants of the Great Shun Army and the Great Western Army took the initiative to ask for a joint fight against the Jurchen barbarians with the Ming Army, there were also important ministers of the Southern Ming Dynasty who said that the Manchu Qing Dynasty was avenging the Ming Dynasty and should use the power of the Ming Dynasty to expel the thieves.

It was not until the retreat to Liangguang Yungui that the two sides united, but by that time, the Jurchen was already a behemoth and could not be shaken, and the last resistance was useless. As for who did the so-called "surging anti-Qing struggle" one after another, it was all from the power of the people, and the so-called stupid gentry and people who did not know the change of the mandate of heaven.

Li Meng stood there, after the extreme anger dissipated, he felt extremely dazed, even a little lonely, what Sun Hedou said, in the newspapers and proclamations he read on weekdays, he could also see one or two, the Ming court almost did its best to levy civil strife, but for the threat of the Dongyu Nuzhen, it always did not know enough.

"My lord, this Dongyu is only one and a half million, and the Ming Dynasty is more than ten million, the distance is so huge, this chaos in the heart is a big disaster!"

Sun Hedou had already put down the brush and was still saying these words unhurriedly, but the title of "Lord Li" had already become "adult", and he was obviously a lot closer.

A subordinate walked in with tea, Li Meng stopped making a sound, sat on the chair with a wry smile, and waited for the subordinate to go out, he took a sip of tea, and said helplessly:

"Mr. Sun, you're all confused! Daming's henchman is not a thief, but a captive! ”

Li Meng wanted to say that everyone in the world was confused, but he stopped his mouth in time, remembering that this Li Zicheng was really extinguished, at least let Emperor Chongzhen hang himself and occupy most of the country, but for Li Meng, who came from modern times, he knew that the culprit who completely destroyed the Ming Dynasty and created all kinds of massacres and bloody tragedies, and dragged Huaxia to the next few hundred years of the dark era, was the barbarian Eastern Tartars, which Li Meng could not accept in any case.
