Chapter 33: Sun Yuanhua
(New books are online, kneel and beg for collections, recommendations, and rewards)
Chu Fan had a "buzz" in his head, he never expected that Sun Yuanhua, one of the key figures in the late Ming Dynasty, would be such a sloppy person! And when I came to this time and space, I could meet such a big coffee when I went out for the first time!
It is not an exaggeration to say that Sun Yuanhua is a big name, not because of how high his official position and how prominent his status is, but because he is a disciple of Xu Guangqi, the most famous scientist in the Ming Dynasty, and also the most important armament expert in the late Ming Dynasty -- the Hongyi cannon that made great achievements in the Ningyuan War last year came from the hands of this sloppy master.
So from this point of view, Sun Yuanhua's influence on both the Ming and Qing dynasties is actually not under Yuan Chonghuan, Mao Wenlong, Huang Taiji, and Dolgon.
Chu Fan looked at Sun Yuanhua, who was clear, and his eyes couldn't help but light up a little, because he knew that in the next few years, this armament expert would be appointed as his parent's official, Governor of Denglai.
It was also in this position that Sun Yuanhua used the wrong person, and the gang of Dongjiang escapees Li Jiucheng, Kong Youde, and Geng Zhongming that he recruited really made him miserable.
Embezzling military salaries and drinking soldiers' blood are all trivial matters, but the key is that when Huang Taiji besieged Zu Dashou in the Daling River in the fourth year of Chongzhen, Sun Yuanhua sent Li Jiucheng and Kong Youde to lead 800 people to help - 800 people! It wasn't enough for Huang Taijisai's teeth, Chu Fan really didn't know what the old master in front of him thought.
As a result, the Liao soldiers went all the way to the west, and when they arrived at Wuqiao, they actually rebelled for a mere chicken - yes, it was a chicken, but the owner of the chicken came from a very large background, it was the Wang Xiangchun of the Shandong Wang clan and the former Nanjing officials!
So Linyi fell, Shanghe fell, Qingcheng fell, and finally Dengzhou fell.
This is the famous "Wuqiao Mutiny" at the end of the Ming Dynasty, also known as the "Three Mine Disciples" in Shandong.
As a traverser, Chu Fan of course knows that the so-called chicken forcing against the three miners of Shandong is actually exaggerated, and the deep reason is that Chu Fan has already experienced it firsthand, that is, the sharp contradictions and antagonisms between the locals of Shandong and the people of Liaodongliu.
The final result of the Wuqiao Mutiny was that Sun Yuanhua was first arrested and then released, and finally came to the end of his life in Beijing's vegetable market; After a year and a half of plundering Denglai, the miners fled to Liaodong by boat under the leadership of Kong Youde and Geng Zhongming, and surrendered to Huang Taiji. With this weapon, and the Ming Khan work together, land and water go hand in hand, the momentum is like a bamboo, who in the world dares to be the enemy of Khan? ”
Chu Fan hated the Tartars' obedient king Kong Youde, the Huaishun king Geng Zhongming, and even the Zhishun king who surrendered later, Chu Fan hated it very much, the reason was very simple, the Tartars were before the Sanshun king, and the attack either relied on human lives or by digging long trenches, in short, there was no way to do high ditches and deep bases; After King Sanshun surrendered, he brought Sun Yuanhua's biggest "inheritance" to the Tartars, that is, dozens of Franc machine people and a large number of artillery manufacturing craftsmen who were plundered by Kong Youde directly helped the Tartars to replace their guns, and their ability to attack fortified positions was improved by several levels!
Not to mention, King Sanshun plus Wu Sangui, the king of Pingxi who "rushed to the crown and was angry for the red face", these four Han people are willing to be Tartar lackeys and pioneers, and it is not an exaggeration to say that more than half of the world of the Aixin Jueluo family was defeated by them.
And the starting point of all this is Sun Yuanhua, the governor of Denglai.
So when Chu Fan looked at the head of the military department with a strange gaze, Sun Yuanhua was quite uncomfortable, and he inexplicably had a feeling of being stripped naked and watching alone.
Liu Zhongwen and Sidesa on the side had already chatted enthusiastically, and the crooked nuts spoke straightforwardly, just facing the appetite of Liu Zhongwen, who was simple-minded and didn't know how to turn the corner, and it happened that the post man who had collected the money had already sent Chu Fan and their food, and Chu Fan saw this and stuffed some silver for the post guard, and asked him to bring Sun Yuanhua's food as well, and by the way, buy some wine and stew it from outside--the two groups tacitly lifted out the Eight Immortals table in their respective rooms and put them together, ready to have a dinner.
After a period of chaos, the wine and food were ready, everyone sat down, and Chu Fan deliberately sat next to Sun Yuanhua - and no matter what the "Wuqiao Mutiny", he could be close to his future parents, how could Chu Fan let go of such a good opportunity?
After a few glasses of wine, Sidshisha talked about the reason why he was angry, it turned out that this time Sun Yuanhua and he went out to Beijing as an artillery instructor to inspect the Guanning defense line, and when they arrived at this Tianjin Station, they almost entered the door together with the Shandong Patrol, and as a result, this post watched people cook, and flattered the Patrol in every way, but it was perfunctory to them, which caused Sidesha's anger.
"I really don't understand your Daming, Master Sun is obviously a sixth-grade, so what kind of bird patrol is only seventh-grade, why is this Yicheng shaking his head and tail like a dog?" Sidsha shook her head again and again, and drank her glass.
Liu Zhongwen tried his best to speak, and with Chu Fan's help, he finally made this blonde-haired seven-rank military attache understand why the seven-rank patrol was much more powerful than the sixth-rank military chief.
"Lord Silva, the student has something unclear, please give me advice." Chu Fan was quite surprised by the custom of calling Sidesa according to Taixi, but he quickly reacted and nodded for Chu Fan to ask.
"As far as the students know, Cessinai is dated by the age of God, and the students are curious, I don't know how many years this year?" Chu Fan asked eagerly - his history in the future is based on the year of the Common Era, and he has never figured out what year it is in the seventh year of the Apocalypse, and now he has easily met Sidesha, an authentic crooked nut, how can he miss the opportunity to ask clearly.
Sidesa and Sun Yuanhua glanced at each other, their eyes full of surprise, and then pinched their fingers and calculated before replying, "This year is Christmas 1627. ”
1627? Chu Fan's first reaction was to calculate how many years there were until 1644, when the Tartars entered the customs, and as soon as he calculated the result of 17 years, he saw Sun Yuanhua next to him quickly draw a cross and asked softly, "Amen, may I ask if Gongzi Chu is also a member of my sect?" ”
Chu Fan immediately reacted, this Sun Yuanhua had already entered Catholicism.
But he didn't dare to pretend to be a Catholic, who knows what strange taboos Catholicism has in this era, and it would be bad if he showed his stuff.
So he had to answer honestly, "The students have always liked the doctrine of Tessie, and as for Catholicism, the students have only heard a little about it." ”
Hearing him say this, Sun Yuanhua reverted to his fugue appearance - it seemed that this old man didn't seem to care about things that had nothing to do with Tessie.
Chu Fan had an idea, took out the book from his arms and said to Sun Yuanhua, "I heard that Master Sun is Xu Shilang's pride, and the student bought Xu Shilang's "Geometric Original" a few days ago. ”
Sun Yuanhua studied Western studies under Xu Guangqi, and it was precisely because he was too obsessed with the Chinese Academy that he resolutely gave up the examination after the middle school and devoted himself to the study of Western studies, which made him an alternative among the Ming literati - except for Western studies, he really had no common language with his colleagues who were searching for chapters and sentences and playing words, in other words, he was very lonely academically.
Today, I didn't expect to meet a young boy who also likes Western learning in this small Tianjin Station, his old eyes that were a little dizzy lit up in an instant, and he changed his previous indifferent attitude, and took the trouble to explain his teacher's masterpiece to Chu Fan in detail.
"Geometry Original" is actually some of the most basic geometric knowledge, and Chu Fan, who has long been familiar with it, still uses him to explain, just to find an excuse to shorten the distance between himself and Sun Yuanhua.
It didn't take long for the roles of the two to quietly transform, from one teaching and one learning to a reciprocal academic discussion, and the two used wine instead of ink, and drew various patterns of geometry on the table.
When Chu Fan threw out some basic theorems and axioms of three-dimensional geometry, he completely conquered the head of the military department who was obsessed with Western learning, and when he heard the excitement, Sun Yuanhua couldn't help but dance and chant repeatedly.
"Wizard! Wizard! Childe is really a genius! ”
