With the help of these people, Zheng Chenggong finally got rid of the cumbersome government affairs.

Zheng Chenggong returned to the temporary courtyard of Tong'an, and heard that Song Yingxing, who he had been longing for, had been invited by his subordinates.

Zheng Chenggong was immediately overjoyed, ran into the house, and when he saw a strange old man in his sixties with a goat's beard, he knew that this was Song Yingxing in front of him.

Lao Tzu's 17th-century encyclopedia is finally available, Lao Tzu's artillery improvement technology is finally hopeful, and Lao Tzu's iron metallurgy technology can finally be improved......

It's not that Song Yingxing's physical level is high, Zheng Chenggong values his induction of technical experience more than anything else.

The technology that was so advanced in ancient China was rarely inherited and developed, one reason is that there is no good way to inherit it, and the other is that there is no systematic induction.

Most of the ancient literati were more emotional than rational, and paid attention to doing whatever they wanted.

When the mood comes, you can come in the snow to see your friends.

The interest is gone, and when they are all at his door, they can return immediately and not see each other.

For this kind of sensuality, it is very good to have fun in poetry.

But science is the most rigorous and requires the most rational thinking.

Ancient craftsmen and blacksmiths could create miracles with experience and skill. But they don't have much knowledge, and they can't summarize and record their craft.

Ordinary literati either despise "agriculture and industry" and are unwilling to understand it.

Either they don't understand "agriculture and industry", and they can't summarize these technical experiences at all.

There is no written record, only based on experience and memory, and once there is an accident, the craft will be lost.

Moreover, without written records, it is impossible to spread it widely and let more people know about this technology.

Isaac Newton once said, "If I look a little further, it's because I'm standing on the shoulders of giants." ”

If China's science and technology need to develop, someone must summarize the technical experience of these predecessors, so that future generations can stand on the shoulders of giants and look farther.

Song Yingxing was such a literati, who devoted his life to the scientific investigation and research of agriculture and handicraft production, and collected a wealth of scientific materials; He has written heavenly creations, which are known as "the encyclopedia of Chinese craftsmanship in the 17th century".

That's why Zheng Chenggong attaches so much importance to him, hoping that he can lead those handicraft blacksmiths to summarize the technology and experience of firearms manufacturing and metal metallurgy training, so as to improve and develop.

Zheng Chenggong stepped forward and bowed to the end and said: "Mr. Chang Geng, Mr. Ming Yan has long admired Mr. Da Ming, looking forward to the stars and the moon, I can finally see Mr. today, it is really a great luck for Ming Yan!" ”

Zheng Chenggong gave such a big gift, he originally expected Song Yingxing to be moved, and immediately bowed his head and worked for himself from then on.

But Zheng Chenggong waited left and right, and didn't wait for Song Yingxing to respond, he secretly looked up, and was suddenly angry.

I saw Song Yingxing put his hands behind his back, looking at the roof with his head raised and looking unhappy.

Zheng Chenggong was very puzzled, Lao Tzu didn't offend you before, and now his attitude is sincere, why is your face so stinky.

Zheng Chenggong asked cautiously: "I don't know what Ming Yan annoyed Mr., please tell Mr. that Ming Yan will definitely apologize to Mr." ”

Song Yingxing said lightly: "The farmer of the mountains and fields is not worthy of such respect from the general. Please also ask the general to return the old man's family! ”

When Zheng Chenggong heard this, he immediately looked at the guards who escorted Song Yingxing to Tong'an, and shouted, "How did you invite Mr. Song?" Say! ”

Zhang Dashan, the captain of the guard team, said suspiciously: "What, isn't it according to what the general said, if Mr. Song refuses to come, will he be tied up?" No, he won't come, so I'll tie him up! ”

It turned out that after Song Yingxing and his eldest brother Song Yingsheng saw the Qing army entering the customs, they all pinned their hopes on Emperor Longwu to regain their strength and recover the Ming Dynasty. But at that time, the Longwu court was controlled by Zheng Zhilong, and Emperor Longwu was powerless.

In the end, Zheng Zhilong defected to the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and Longwu was captured in Tingzhou and died on hunger strike.

When Song Yingsheng heard the news of Emperor Longwu's death, he took poison and martyred the country, and Song Yingxing went into hiding and refused to leave the office.

It can be said that Song Yingxing's eldest brother Song Yingsheng's death has a lot to do with Zheng Zhilong, and when he heard that it was Zheng Zhilong's son Zheng Chenggong's subordinates who asked to see him, Song Yingxing immediately asked them to eat a closed door.

What kind of temper is Zhang Dashan, a ruffian!

How can he stand to be treated like this, not to mention that the general also strictly ordered that this old man must be sent back.

At that moment, Zhang Dashan immediately opened the door of Song Yingxing's thatched hut with a big foot, and when he arrived at his room, he didn't care about Song Yingxing's resistance at all, and carried him out.

Zhang Dashan shouted loudly: "You farmer, listen up, my general is a loyal and filial uncle of Longwu." Now the general looks down on you, and it is your blessing. You dare to refuse, it's just a shame. Since you don't know each other, don't blame Lao Tzu for being rude! ”

Zhang Dashan carried Song Yingxing out, and then sent his subordinates to call out Song Yingxing's wife and children, stuff them into the carriage, and then set Song Yingxing's house on fire!

Along the way, Song Yingxing also angrily wanted to argue with Zhang Dashan, but he didn't expect Zhang Dashan to say eloquently: "If the broken house is burned, it will be burned, follow the general, and protect your Yonghua wealth." When the time comes, don't talk about a broken house, ten mansions will be given by the general. You're afraid of a bird! ”

When Song Yingxing heard that he just wanted to speak, "When will I ......?"

Zhang Dashan glared at Song Yingxing with bull's eyes open, and said, "Now the general will listen to the order before requisitioning your army, and you won't go." Could it be that he wants to take refuge in the Manchu Qing Dynasty and become a traitor! ”

When Song Yingxing heard that he was a traitor to him, he was so angry that he almost lost his breath.

It's really a show to meet a soldier, and it doesn't make sense.

Seeing that it was impossible to reason with this barbarian, Song Yingxing came to Tong'an with a burst of anger and saw where Zheng Chenggong would have a good face.

Hearing the causes and consequences of Zhang Dashan's invitation to Song Yingxing, Zheng Chenggong's face suddenly turned dark.

Lao Tzu said that he would also tie it back, but he just expressed his importance to Song Yingxing.

You really dare to tie him back!

In front of Song Yingxing, Zheng Chenggong slapped Zhang Dashan's head fiercely, and then said: "Mr. Song suffered, this is Ming Yan's fault. Because Ming Yan was busy with anti-Qing affairs, he did not invite Mr. Song in person. Originally, I expected my personal entourage to express my sincerity to Mr. Song, but I didn't expect to disturb Mr. Song, which was really a serious fault. I feel guilty about this and ask for forgiveness from my sir! ”

Song Yingxing didn't reply, still looking at the ceiling.

Seeing that he didn't move, Zheng Chenggong looked at Zhang Dashan fiercely and said, "Dashan, don't apologize to Mr. soon!" ”

Zhang Dashan suddenly said aggrievedly: "General, I am following you...... Mr. Song, I'm sorry, I'm a reckless man and I don't know how to be polite, please forgive me! ”

Looking at the general's fierce eyes, Zhang Dashan became quieter and quieter the more he spoke, and it was better to apologize obediently.

Seeing that Zhang Dashan apologized, Song Yingxing still had a nose that was not a nose, and his face was not a face.

Regarding Song Yingxing's attitude, Zheng Chenggong was very helpless, he couldn't beat him, and he couldn't scold him.

It's been a long time, and I don't know how much I said to apologize. Reasoning and reasoning, the method of agitation is also used.

But Song Yingxing was Xu Shu who entered Cao Ying-without saying a word, which made Zheng Chenggong lose his temper in the end.

In desperation, Zheng Chenggong had no choice but to ask the guards to send Song Yingxing back to his residence to rest.

Sitting on the main seat in the lobby, Zheng Chenggong drank tea and was sullen.

It happened that Ye Yiyun knew that Lu Ruoteng from the county came to the door to report on government affairs, and saw Zheng Chenggong's unhappy appearance.

Ye Yiyun hurriedly asked: "Dare to ask the general what is upset, can you tell me to see if your subordinates can relieve the general's worries?" ”

Seeing that it was Ye Yiyun, Zheng Chenggong hurriedly told him about Song Yingxing. He asked: "I have long admired Mr. Song's attainments in Gewu, and I want to ask him to help our army improve artillery." But my brute annoyed him, and I didn't know how to persuade him. ”

When Ye Yiyun heard it, he smiled and said, "I have also heard a little about Mr. Song. General, Mr. Song is known for his temper, and even if you invite him in person now, you may not be able to persuade him. ”

When Zheng Chenggong heard this, he couldn't help but ask anxiously: "Jingpu, how is it good?" Please also sir plan for me! ”

Ye Yiyun Weiwei said with a smile: "General, please rest assured, although this Mr. Chang Geng can't be invited by the general, as long as someone else is persuaded to persuade him, he will definitely be able to persuade this person." ”

At this time, Zheng Chenggong was also interested, and said: "Oh, Jingpu, tell me quickly, who should I let persuade Mr. Song?" ”

"Back to the general, Zeng Yingzeng can persuade Mr. Song. Mr. Song and Mr. Zeng are both from Jiangxi, Mr. Song is a person raised in the 43rd year of Wanli, Mr. Zeng is a person raised in the 39th year of Wanli, and Bingchen Kejin is a senior of Song Yingxing in the 44th year of Wanli in the Ming Dynasty. In addition, Zeng is honest, fair, and not afraid of power. Mr. Song has always admired Mr. Zeng, and if he goes to persuade him, he will definitely succeed! Lu Ruoteng replied.

Zheng Chenggong laughed happily when he heard it, "Okay, okay, I'll write to ask Master Zeng to come and persuade Mr. Song." ”

So, Zheng Chenggong sent someone to invite Zeng Ying to meet Song Yingxing.

Under Zeng Ying's persuasion, Song Yingxing held the wish to oppose the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty, and finally came out to help Zheng Chenggong develop firearms.

However, his prejudice against Zheng Chenggong has not changed, and every time he sees Zheng Chenggong, he never has a good face.

Zheng Chenggong saw that he had helped him develop firearms with a smile.
