Sun Yuanhua was obviously not ready to change the court, but Kang Ning's tone made him feel that the other party was already confident.

He didn't know what the other party's confidence was, so he had to say tentatively: "The humble post is actually the staff of Lord Shi Zi Mingshi, the political envoy of Shandong Chengxuan. This time, it was just a temporary secondment to Qingzhou for group training. ”

There was a loud bang, interrupting Sun Yuanhua's words to continue. After Sun Yuanhua shuddered, he hurriedly looked in the direction where the loud noise was coming from.

Corning was smiling and standing next to a cannon, torch in hand, and pointing to the mountains and forests in the distance.

"It's so powerful, it's much stronger than these bulky guys of yours."

Although Huang Lin's cannon is the same as Sun Yuanhua's smoothbore cannon, Huang Lin's gunpowder prescription is obviously much better.

After all, it is normal for people who can get goods from the hometown of the traveler, and it is normal to easily find some relatively useful materials from some libraries.

Kang Ning was naturally very aware of this, and he didn't believe that such a technical advantage was not enough to attract Sun Yuanhua's curious eyes. If he hadn't been so interested in Western things, he wouldn't have been baptized and converted to Catholicism under Xu Guangqi's guidance.

Sure enough, Sun Yuanhua's curious eyes looked at the cannon for a long time, but in the end, he gritted his teeth and refused: "I am favored by others, it is not good to ......"

"To put it bluntly, we are all working for the Ming Dynasty. It is self-evident loyalty, and His Majesty has never doubted it. ”

Sun Yuanhua nodded, Shi Ziming's loyalty and other timber were obvious to all.

But when he said this, he suddenly looked at Kang Ning vigilantly and asked, "Your Majesty's thoughts, how do you know?" ”

"I was in the capital, and I had a very coincidental thing. You'll find out about this later. I'm not going to reveal anything to an outsider. Unless. You and I embarked on the road of defending the Ming Dynasty, defending China, and defending the common people. ”

Sun Yuanhua's eyes suddenly lit up. He had heard something similar from Shi Ziming. At that time, I only felt that the blood on my body was ignited, and I hated to rush to the battlefield as an uncle, for the sake of Daming. For the sake of China, for the tens of millions of Li Shu living in this land, fight for your old life.

But then he finally figured out that in fact, what Shi Ziming wanted to express was not what he imagined.

The words of defending the Ming Dynasty, defending China, and defending the common people are actually not prepared to be executed at the same time. Rather, it pursues the other three goals in turn when the first purpose cannot be achieved.

In other words, the reason why the latter two purposes are used as alternatives is because Shi Ziming has a premonition. The Ming Dynasty may not be a dynasty that can save him from disaster by defending it.

Therefore, Shi Ziming emphasized the defense of China. That means that if the Ming Dynasty is finished, the land under their feet will also have to be an existence worth protecting.

As for protecting the people, I'm afraid it's more of a comforting slogan. How can a person who can have a premonition that the dynasty he serves is about to collapse really care about the life and death of the people. He, Sun Yuanhua, didn't believe it anyway.

At this point, he doesn't believe in Shi Ziming. I don't believe in Corning either.

It doesn't matter, though. Comparatively. It was Corning who was making a last-ditch effort to die in the land of rotten wood. They are quelling the rebellion that has just begun with unimaginable speed.

After thinking about this, Sun Yuanhua suddenly made a decision.

"Okay, I promise you. But you'll have to make sure I can work on more firearms in the future. ”

Corning laughed, "Of course. ”

Although Kang Ning's face was strange about this smile, he was very strange about Sun Yuanhua's expression, what he said just now. is also a bit of incitement, but he doesn't have any enthusiasm that a young person should have, but seems to recall something, think about something, and finally make a decision.

But he, Corning, is not a cod. You can't see through these small things in other people's hearts.

Therefore, he had no choice but to continue to smile and say: "The original commander of the artillery, the Water Commission, will go to the port of Tianjin. The hungry were transported by sea. Now, you take his place. However, you need to be aware that his artillery may not be the same as what you are trained in, so you should be careful. ”

Sun Yuanhua nodded, and went to greet the artillerymen with his men.

In fact, Corning also knows in his heart that they are all front-loading smoothbore guns, even if there is any difference, as long as the operation is carried out according to the process, there will be no dizziness.

What's more, the cannons they use, except for the difference in size and charge, look the same. Come to think of it, what Sun Yuanhua needs is just to adapt to the performance.

Corning just glanced at them and left. He has more things to do.

Back in his tent, Corning found the latest information on the table.

"Taitou Camp, Yanhe Camp, Santun Camp. I always thought these were three place names, but they turned out to be military camps. Wang Sen, Wang Sen, I have been working hard for so many years, but I didn't expect that I would sound the horn of rebellion for you. But that's fine, you have to do the opposite, you don't have time to prepare. I'm worried that I'm not sure enough to exchange your head for military merit. ”

At this time, Hu Luguang, who went into the city to count the grain and grass, also walked in. However, it brought not only the news that the grain had been counted, but also an uninvited guest.

"Lord, there is a man named Liu Yuewu, who claims to be the imperial history of the capital and the governor of Shuntian, I have to see you."

Corning touched his head, how did he cross over and meet people, they were all unknown guys. That is, Sun Yuanhua, Tan moved his name to leave history, Chai Yinbin, Wang Zhikey and others, they had never heard of it in their previous lives.

The same is true of this Liu Yuewu.

But after thinking about it for a moment, he decided to meet him.

In the future, he will inevitably have to deal with these civil officials. Governor Shuntian, how to say it, is also a member of the imperial court.

Sure enough, as soon as the governor named Liu Yuewu walked in, he put on a picture of a feudal official.

"This little general, you are so imposing. I, a governor with the title of imperial history, have to wait outside for so long if I want to sit in your pickled little military tent. ”

Listening to this yin and yang strange voice, even Hu Luguang, who is used to seeing bureaucrats. They were all a little angry.

But Kang Ning didn't bother to talk to him, made a gesture to let Hu Luguang out, and then invited this Lord Liu Yuewu to the main seat.

"Well, you're conscious."

Liu Yuewu smiled happily, and sat on the chair with a questioning ass. But Corning's first words made him stand up in anger.

"Father-in-law. Are you from East Factory? ”

Liu Yuewu jumped up and scolded, and scolded: "This official is the governor of Shuntian, haven't you heard the official title of this official clearly?" ”

Kang Ning smiled: "You speak so yin and yang, naturally you are a big official from Dongchang." And how can it be those nerds? ”

"You!" Liu Yuewu was so angry that he pointed his finger at Kang Ning.

But Kang Ning continued to say as if he hadn't seen it: "Father-in-law, in fact, we are a family. ”

Liu Yuewu was furious and roared: "Who is the family with you?" This official is an upright seven-foot man, and a righteous and awe-inspiring scholar is also. ”

Corning still doesn't understand what you're saying.

"Father-in-law, don't make trouble. It's not like you're not welcome here. I've told you all. We are family. You are from Dongchang, and I am from Jinyiwei. ”

Liu Yuewu wanted to continue to be angry, but the second half of Kang Ning's sentence was very clear.

Jin Yiwei, what kind of existence is that? Liu Yuewu, who has been working hard in the officialdom for many years, how can he not know.

He jumped down from the main seat suddenly, walked to Kang Ning's side honestly, bowed respectfully and said: "Liu Yuewu, the governor of Xiaguan Shuntian, I don't know the identity of Shangguan, and there was a lot of disrespect just now. Also please Haihan, Haihan. ”

"Hey." Not only did Corning not sarcastically mock his condescension. Instead, he waved his big hand and smiled, "Father-in-law, you are laughing again, we are all a family." ”

At this time, Liu Yuewu no longer had the heart to emphasize what kind of seven-foot man he was, a righteous and awe-inspiring scholar.

In front of Jin Yiwei. He had no choice but to obediently acquiesce to being the father-in-law of Dongchang.

Kang Ning took out his waist card and handed it to Liu Yuewu for him to check. Liu Yuewu actually didn't even look at it, the Jinyi guard who can go out to perform tasks, even if it is a small flag, must be the confidant of the person in power.

Such little people. Maybe a stab in the back will be enough for him to endure the rest of his life.

Liu Yuewu respectfully returned the waist card to Kang Ning. Kang Ning took it back with a smile and asked, "What is the reason why my father-in-law is here?" ”

Liu Yuewu couldn't get to the point directly, and said with some embarrassment: "No, it's nothing." ”

"Alright? You no longer stay in the east factory to enjoy the happiness, what do you run out of? Kangning said with a smile undiminished, "Anyway, if you have any difficulties, brother, I can actually help." ”

Liu Yuewu hesitated for a while, and finally reluctantly said: "Don't hide it from the officials, the lowly position was entrusted by the prince and the emperor to come here to do some things." ”

"The royal family?" Kang Ning pretended not to know this person, and thought for a long time before he suddenly said, "It's the one who is very familiar with Eunuch Wang Dexiang." I heard that the two of them are also connected to each other, and now they can be said to be a family. ”

Liu Yuewu laughed twice and said, "That's the one." ”

Kangning said, "What did he ask you to do?" ”

Liu Yuewu lowered his head and thought for a while before saying: "Shangguan has great powers, he must know that Wang Sen and the prince are actually connected. ”

"Yes." Kang Ning said lightly, "I'm in charge of Wang Sen's matter, how could I not know?" ”

Liu Yuewu said: "The prince thinks that if he can, please ask Shangguan to raise his noble hand and let Wang Sen go." ”

When Kangning heard this, his heart was already full of anger. This self-proclaimed righteous doctor actually came to ask for help. Moreover, the person he asked to be spared turned out to be Wang Sen, who did all kinds of evil in the local area, fooled the people, and defrauded money.

Where is the conscience of such a scholar?

Suppressing the anger in his heart, Kang Ning tried his best to say in the same tone as he had just now: "The prince is just connected with him, and his feelings should not be so deep." ”

Liu Yuewu stepped forward with a smile and said, "What Shangguan said is very true. The royal prince meant that if his life could be saved, it would be the best. If you can't ......"

"If you can't, kill him cleanly. Anyway, with those letters in the old days, he can't be a royal family, right? ”

"Shangguan, what a wise and martial artist."

"yes. I'm really wise. Kang Ning raised his head, sighed, suddenly turned around, raised his hand and pointed at Liu Yuewu, and angrily reprimanded, "You, please forgive the rebels for disloyalty to the emperor." It is unkind to connive at Wang Sen to defraud the township. Such a dirty deed, especially the teachings of parents, is unfilial. After entering the account, he is condescending and respectful, and falsely calling himself a seven-foot man, which is unjust. What is the use of keeping you, you unfaithful, unfilial, unkind, and unrighteous person? ”

After speaking, Kang Ning roared wildly, Hu Luguang heard the sound, drew his sword and rushed into the tent, and stabbed Liu Yuewu to death on the spot with a sword.

"Lord, you scolded well!" Hu Luguang drew his sword into the sheath, and didn't even look at Liu Yuewu who fell to the ground.

Kangning didn't bother to look at the guy and just asked coldly, "What about his entourage?" ”

Hu Luguang said: "It's all clicking. I've got all their hair with me. ”

"Good. Get some of this bastard's hair, and I'm worried that I don't have a good chance to carry out the military Kong Ming plan. "From the start, Corning was prepared to do both. If this person can cooperate, then he can give tempting conditions, if not, it is the fat that comes to the door.

Kang Ning took out his Filthy Earth Reincarnation Scroll, and after a burst of light, a Liu Yuewu who was completely obedient to him appeared in front of them.

Hu Luguang hurriedly disposed of Liu Yuewu's body, while Kang Ning sat in the tent and continued to speak.

It's just that the goal this time has been replaced by an honest and obedient new version of Liu Yuewu.

"I want my men to participate in the imperial examinations. You see what kind of way can be arranged. ”

Liu Yuewu thought for a moment and replied: "If there are not many of them, it is naturally not a difficult thing. If there are too many of them, it may be a bit of a struggle. ”

"Naturally, the more the better," Corning said. ”

Liu Yuewu replied: "Then it can only be apportioned to various states and counties." I'm afraid that I'm afraid that I will meet a stunned young man who can't open my eyes, and my plan will be exposed. ”

"Don't worry about that. My subordinates are all really talented. How can they debunk it? Cheating on the first exam? Whose copy was it? ”

Liu Yuewu nodded and said, "Then the problem is simple." The number of people who participate in the imperial examination every year is an important performance appraisal for officials. I don't think they would mind having that many more people come in and contribute to their performance. ”

Kang Ning nodded with satisfaction: "Just do as you say." (To be continued.) )
