Zhang Zhun said loudly: "The long-term war in Shandong has created a large number of orphans. The Metropolitan Governor's Office once made statistics that Shandong is only the three eastern provinces, and there are at least tens of thousands of orphans. If there is no one to provide food, these orphans can easily starve to death and even be eaten alive by some people. We gathered these children together and settled them in different literacy centers, and we provided them with food, shelter and learning opportunities for free......"

"The orphans of Dengzhou City, when they heard that the queen mother was coming, wanted to see the queen's demeanor. You know, the children of the countryside have never seen the world. The emperor and the empress are all very distant beings in their minds. Zhang Yan was a little surprised and said, "Why not call it an orphanage?" Zhang Zhun said casually: "I hate this name......"

Zhang Yan frowned and said, "What is the reason for this......"

Zhang Zhun said seriously: "I don't want those children to be labeled as orphans since they were young, which is harmful to their personality growth." I don't think they will continue to be ......lonely as long as they have partners and teachers.

Zhang Yan was once pregnant, but she didn't know if it was a man or a woman, but she was manipulated by the Hakka family and got rid of the child. Later, "I never got pregnant." As a result, "she, the queen mother", didn't even have a child. For this reason, "she has mixed feelings for children. She obviously hesitated for a moment before she said slowly: "This palace will definitely go tomorrow." Zhang Zhun nodded and said casually: "Niangniang has a heart." The next day, Zhang Zhun joined Zhang Yan and others and went to the literacy institute in Dengzhou City.

This literacy school was actually opened by Zhou Ming and them. The children inside are all orphans, and on the one hand, they are here to read and write, and on the other hand, there are people who have been injured and retired from the division to teach them fist and foot kung fu exercises, and there are also a lot of battle stories to tell them. For these poor children, the Tiger Benjun is their parents.

The current full name of the Wounded and Retired Division of the Tiger Army is "The Disabled and Veterans of the Tiger Army Continued Contribution Division", and "there are a large number of disabled soldiers or veterans" who are exerting their residual heat. The disabled Ming army, or the retired Ming army, usually broke away from the military field and became an authentic civilian or military household. The retired or disabled personnel of the Tiger Army are different, they still remain in the wounded and retired division and continue to work for the Tiger Army.

Don't look at the influence they have on the wounded, but they have almost all the work of ideological education, combat skills training, and combat mobilization. The selection and training of recruits is theirs, the basic quality training of children is theirs, and the registration and organization of men in the prime of life are also theirs. Because they are all real Tiger Ben soldiers, they all have a high status in the minds of the general public. Their words are very authoritative.

According to Zhang Zhun's intentions, every village and tun under the control of the Tiger Ben Army should have at least one person who has been wounded and retired from the Hu Ben Army, who is responsible for the ideological education and training of local children and school-age youth. This person who has been injured and retired from the department needs to have information on several aspects. First, how many prime men are there in Bentun. Second, how many children are in Bentun and how many are of different ages. The third "who of Bentun may be the finest work of the Tartars."

Because of the limited conditions of the Tiger Army, compulsory education cannot be universalized for the time being, so the children's education "is mainly based on storytelling and basic quality training." Everyone lacks culture" and it is a bit difficult to read and write. Therefore, storytelling has become the best way to educate the mind. The story of the wounded and retired division" is, of course, mainly a battle story. The members of these wounded and retired divisions have been on the battlefield themselves, and the stories they tell are "of course lifelike and immersive, which fascinates the children."

The basic quality training includes simple and easy-to-understand movements such as running, zama walking, and lifting barbells every day. As long as the children have free time, they will train with the injured and retired officers. According to Zhang Zhun's regulations, even if he is very busy, he must have three days a month to "train together." The purpose of the training camp is to compete everyone's level and distinguish the high and low, so that there is the motivation to compete.

These children, who have received such edification since childhood, can only be described as "red and ......" when they grow up. The relative closure of the news, as well as the lack of culture, made them only know about the Tiger Benjun family. The Tiger Army is the best, the Tiger Army cares about them the most, and when they grow up, they "will also fight for the Tiger Army." This kind of ideological edification, if not the peak, can be regarded as unprecedented.

When Zhang Zhun and the others arrived at the literacy center, the children were neatly dressed and clean, "and they were walking continuously." The head of a thirteen-year-old child was in charge of training them. The youngest of these children was only two or three years old, and the eldest was "eleven or twelve." If you are older, you can go to work, earn wages, and support your own children.

Because of the lack of manpower, these older children have taken on the burden of taking care of young children. A literacy school of five or six hundred people can be managed by just a few adults. They are mainly responsible for the distribution of supplies, and the rest is basically managed by the children themselves. The children of this generation are much stronger than the children of later generations.

"The queen has come to see everyone......"

Zhang Zhun announced loudly with a smile.

"What is the queen mother...... a child asked in a low voice.

"The queen is the mother of everyone in the world." , Zhang Zhun explained with a smile.

"Mother?" , Some children didn't understand this word and looked at Zhang Yan suspiciously.

"She's all your mothers, and one by one you're allowed to explain n in more archaic language

The eyes of those children fell on Zhang Yan. Since he is an orphan, he has no parents. Daddy, for many children here, is a distant existence. Now, the sudden appearance of a woman who says she is the mother of all of them does make them feel very fresh.

Zhang Yan was obviously a little overwhelmed, wanting to say something, but she didn't know how to say it. She has never been in contact with children, and "has no experience with children at all." At that time, Emperor Chongzhen only had two very young children, both of whom were brought by their respective mothers. She was a widowed woman "who, despite being an imperial sister-in-law, had a unique position in the palace." But "she and the two children" also rarely see each other.

The child was removed, which was the biggest pain in Zhang Yan's heart. However, under the circumstances at the time, it was unknown whether the child would survive even if it could be born. Besides, even if the child can survive and receive an education smoothly, it is unknown. Too many unknowns" made Zhang Yan feel an inexplicable fear of her children.

The emperors of the Ming Dynasty were not good in terms of education, especially the two brothers Tianqi and Chongzhen. The father of their two brothers, that is, Zhu Changluo of the Ming Guangzong, "was definitely one of the most hard-working people in the Ming Dynasty." Because Emperor Wanli likes Zhu Changxun, the blessed king, not Zhu Changluo, a bitter man.

Emperor Wanli was bent on changing King Fu as the crown prince, but the courtiers did not do it. They resolutely rejected the emperor's selfishness and demanded that the emperor abide by the relevant regulations on the establishment of succession and chief.

As a result, Li and his ministers "fought with each other for decades, and it was not until he was almost exhausted that Emperor Li finally gave in." Zhu Changluo barely retained his status as the crown prince. As compensation, Emperor Li allocated half of Henan's fields to King Fu.

His position as the crown prince has always been precarious, where does Zhu Changluo have time to manage his son? Naturally, it was sheep grazing. The Emperor of the Apocalypse doesn't know a few big characters, "I just like a thousand carpenters, but in fact, they are all harmed by my father." Well, to be precise, it was to his grandfather. Fortunately, Chongzhen is still a little ambitious, and he has read a lot of books, "otherwise, he is illiterate".

Zhang Zhun looked back at Zhang Yan and noticed that her expression was different, so he said with a smile: "Go, ......"

Zhang Yan was still hesitating there, not speaking, but not moving.

"Are you still afraid that the children will bully you?" , Zhang Zhun said angrily and funny.

"It's not...... I...... I can't ......"

Zhang Yan was obviously a little nervous, and even forgot to call herself the palace.

"Playing with children, what's the ...... of a good nose open"

Zhang Zhun asked in surprise.

He really didn't expect that Zhang Yan would have such a reaction when he came to the children. It's really weird. This queen, who has never succumbed in front of the eunuchs, does not dare to contact the children? If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, Zhang Zhun would definitely have thought it was a joke. The queen of the mother world is actually afraid of children, freaks!

"I ...... I...... I don't know ......."

Zhang Yan said hesitantly.

Her face was very strange, and her cheeks were red, like a burning sunset.

Zhang Zhun looked back over there and found that Yang Yinghan and Liu Ruyi, as well as Ning Lingwei and others, had already played with a group of children. They didn't bring any gifts, they just played with the children, told them stories, swung with them, taught them how to write. Actually, you don't have to do anything at all" is to squat down, listen to the children's chirping, and you can already blend in with them.

Zhang Yan suddenly turned around and left.

Zhang Zhun looked at her back strangely, "But he didn't chase after her."

Ji Yuqing hurriedly walked over and asked with concern, "What's the matter?" I'm going to check ......."

Zhang Zhun shook his head and said indifferently: "No need......"

Ji Yuqing said with concern: "What's wrong? How did she run away? Zhang Zhun said casually: "I don't know" probably didn't dare to contact these children, as if there was some nightmare with him......

Ji Yuqing looked at Zhang Yan's disappearing back, and said a little worriedly: "She should be fine?" With us, it is better that nothing happens to her. Otherwise, the yellow mud pulls the crotch of his pants, and it's not but ......"

Zhang Zhun said thoughtfully: "It's not a big deal, let her be quiet alone for a while" Maybe it's fine......

A strange smile suddenly appeared on the corner of his mouth, "He said to himself: "It's really strange" She is not even afraid of life and death, but she is afraid of children! It's weird! ”

Ji Yuqing glanced at him, and said a little complainingly: "Her child was killed by the Ke family and Wei Gelding, and now she sees so many lively children, it's no wonder that she is not sad." It's just me" is also a little stuffy, you have to accompany me at night! Zhang Zhun nodded and said slowly: "Well, this is indeed a hurdle. However, she has to pass this hurdle forever, and she can't be there forever! As the queen and the mother of a country, she must not only cherish her own children, but also cherish the children of the whole world "Look at others Deng Yingchao", Ji Yuqing asked curiously: "Who is Deng Yingchao......

Zhang Zhun found that he had said something wrong, so he smiled and covered up the past, and said with a smile: "It's wrong, it's someone I know." She didn't have children of her own, "but she adopted very large children and raised them to be talented......

Ji Yuqing asked suspiciously: "Is there really such a good person?" Zhang Zhun said affectionately: "Of course! They are the greatest people in the world......"

"Da ......" Ji Yuqing was about to speak, when suddenly, the sound of horses' hooves hurriedly came.

Zhang Zhun and the others looked over, "But it is the communication soldier of the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion, who should have set off from the carrier pigeon liaison station in Dengzhou City." Soon, Lu Yidian sent an urgent piece of information to Zhang Zhun's hands. After Zhang Zhun read the information, his brows furrowed quietly.

Ji Yuqing whispered: "Is something wrong?" Zhang Zhun said with emotion: "Gao Qiqian wanted to watch from the wall, but he was attacked by the Tartars" suffered heavy losses. This time, the imperial court stole chickens and didn't eat rice, and wanted to watch the fire from the other side." Hey, playing games with Tartars, Chongzhen's brain is really a bit of a problem......"

The information was sent from Luanzhou in Beizhili, and finally came to Zhang Zhun through the transmission of carrier pigeons. The content of the intelligence was simple: "Two days ago, the cavalry of the Tartars suddenly attacked the headquarters of the imperial army. The imperial army, which was caught off guard, "suffered heavy losses. It is said that "at least tens of thousands of people died, and perhaps even more than 20,000." The two cities of Xianghe and Baodi were once again breached by the Tartars, and all the soldiers and civilians inside were killed.

Ji Yuqing shook her head lightly and said helplessly, "The people of the imperial court...... Alas, you tell me my senior sister! As long as it has something to do with government affairs, she will definitely recover immediately......"

Zhang Zhun nodded and walked over to Zhang Yan.

Zhang Yan heard Zhang Zhun's footsteps, and quietly reached out to wipe the faint tears at the corners of her eyes, and said calmly: "I...... Hongu is fine, Hongu will just stand here for a while......"

Zhang Zhun said in a deep voice: "I received an urgent intelligence ......"

Zhang Yan's mood was quickly adjusted. She is obviously more concerned about the political affairs of the court than about children. She bit her lip lightly and asked calmly, "What happened?" Zhang Zhun said slowly: "I have a small relationship with you" You have to be mentally prepared. Zhang Yan looked calm and said in a low voice: "You say" This palace can bear it. ”

Zhang Zhun nodded, and said slowly: "The slave chief Abatai led the army to attack Gao Qiqian, and the Liaodong army suffered heavy losses and had to retreat to the vicinity of Shanhaiguan.

The two county towns of Xianghe and Baodi were all captured by the Tartars, and all the people inside were killed, and the death toll was estimated to be more than 30,000. Xianghe had already been attacked by the Tartars once before, and this was the second time it had been ravaged. Alas, "miserable ......"

Zhang Yan's face suddenly turned pale.

Huang Taiji was defeated by Zhang Zhun "but also defeated Gao Qiqian, "let her, the queen of the court", really don't know what to say. She would not doubt the authenticity of Zhang Zhun's information, and Zhang Zhun did not need to be false at all. Moreover, Zhang Yan herself is also deeply skeptical about her ability to take off and dive. Can a eunuch who does not learn and has no skills have the ability to command in battle? It's a pity that Chongzhen trusts Gao Qiqian, and Zhang Yan doesn't have much to say.

After a moment of silence, Zhang Yan said slowly: "Wu Aheng, what news is there......

Zhang Zhun shook his head and said, "There is no ...... for the time being."

Zhang Yan sighed slightly, "I said to myself: "I'm afraid that the imperial court will be stormy again......"

Wu Aheng was the governor of Jiliao. After so many years of deafness, Chongzhen finally made a correct appointment in personnel, that is, to appoint Wu Aheng as the governor of Jiliao. "Maybe Chongzhen will hold Gao Qiqian accountable, and then Wu Aheng will lead the army." If this is the case, maybe the Liaodong Army will improve a little.

Speaking of this Wu Aheng, there is still a bit of a background. Zhang Yan is even more familiar with Wu Aheng. This Wu Aheng is a jinshi in the Wanli period. This person's greatest achievement was to continuously thwart the White Lotus Sect's attacks. In that year, the White Lotus Sect led by Wang Yilun, Xu Hongru and others besieged Licheng with no less than 100,000 people, but was defeated by Wu Aheng. For this reason, the Emperor of the Apocalypse gave him armor and the word "......" as a commendation.

Subsequently, Wu Aheng was transferred to the imperial history of Huguang Province. He was the first to expose Wei Zhongxian's crimes to the emperor, but was hunted down by Wei Zhongxian. Fortunately, he saw that the opportunity was not good, and immediately went incognito and hid in the countryside" to avoid this catastrophe. It also happened that "when Wu Aheng went home to hide, it happened that the people of the Xiangxiang Sect came to attack his hometown again, and as a result, Wu Aheng immediately built enemy towers, built cannons, repaired moats, and donated loose grain, and drove soldiers and people to the city to defend strictly." As a result, the attack of the Wenxiang Sect was beaten again because when suppressing the White Lotus Sect uprising, Wu Aheng showed his ability, so he has been serving in the military department since then. However, the two main figures of the Ministry of War, Zhang Fengyi and Liang Tingdong, "don't want to see this Wu Aheng." Chongzhen appointed Wu Aheng as the governor of Jiliao, obviously with the intention of setting up Zhang and Liang. Some people speculate that the third time the Tartars entered the Kou, and the wrong deployment of Zhang and Liang had a lot to do with it. Perhaps, "After the Tartars retreat, Chongzhen will ask these two military department scholars."

Zhang Zhun sighed silently, and said coldly: "Huang Taiji, this wolf, has already been injured, if Gao Qiqian takes the initiative" will definitely give Huang Taiji a little trouble. It's a pity that he blindly waited, waiting for Huang Taiji to slow down. "Heaven does evil" can still live, self-inflicted, not live! You deserve ......"

Zhang Yan's emotions suddenly got a little out of control and turned to leave.

Ji Yuqing and the others hurriedly came up to ask what was going on.

"Leave her alone!" "Let's play by ourselves!" Zhang Zhun stretched out his hand to stop Ji Yuqing and the others" said coldly.

Zhang Yan is still sober, so let more and more cruel realities make her sober up.
