13 special treasures
Mount Tai is the first of the "five mountains" in our country, has the reputation of "the national mountain of China", "the first mountain in the world", also known as Dongyue, one of the most beautiful and shocking ten famous mountains in China, the first of the top ten famous mountains in China, is located in Tai'an, Shandong, the natural landscape is majestic and tall, there are thousands of years of spiritual and cultural penetration and rendering and the cultural landscape of the background, the famous scenery has the Tianzhu Peak, the Riguan Peak, the Baizhang Cliff, the Xianren Bridge, the five major Fu pine, the Wangren pine, the Longtan Waterfall, the Cloud Bridge Waterfall, the three pools of the Waterfall and so on. Since ancient times, Chinese have worshipped Mount Tai, and there is a saying that "Taishan is safe, and the four seas are safe". The ancient dynasties continued to seal Zen and sacrifice in Mount Tai, and built temples and statues above Mount Tai, carved stone inscriptions. The ancient literati admired Mount Tai and came to travel and write poems. There are more than 20 ancient buildings and more than 2,200 steles and stone carvings on the magnificent mountain of Mount Tai.
At this moment, Wang Guangfu and Wang Qian of Qingzhou Mansion led a hundred soldiers, hanging long knives and shields, and followed the thief who was greedy for life and afraid of death to Mount Tai.
"My lord, I said, I said, our boss hid the looted treasures in a cave at the foot of Mount Tai, and I will take the adults to get the treasures" This thief is called Zheng Zhong, which guy is greedy for life and afraid of death.
"Mr. Wang Qian, you take dozens of people to follow Zheng Zhong to Mount Tai for a trip, be sure to find the treasure" Li Long also wants to attack the thieves in Yanzhou, as long as Wang Guangfu Qian is arranged to go to Mount Tai.
"General, please rest assured, the last general will definitely complete the task," Wang Guangfu patted his chest and assured
A group of more than 100 people, after a day's journey, finally at the foot of Mount Tai in Tai'an Mansion when the sun was about to set, looking at the majestic Mount Tai, Wang Guangfu sighed for a while, the head of the five mountains is the spirit.
"Is it there? Zheng Zhong, you won't fucking fool me, will you? Wang Qian was a little tired from walking, wiped his sweat and stopped and asked
At this time, it was already dark, and the soldiers all held torches and followed Zheng Zhong into the mountain step by step
"It's almost there, Mr. Wang Qian, after crossing a mountain stream, you will arrive at the treasure cave" Zheng Zhong replied like a pug......
After walking for about an hour, Zheng Zhong pointed to a cave in the distance and said, "Mr. Wang Qian, the front is it."
Wang Guangfu looked at the cave from afar, and found that there was a bright light in the cave, presumably a thief guarding the treasure, and dragged Zheng Zhong angrily: "You fucking dare to play grandpa, there are defenders inside, why didn't you say it earlier, if you had already brought a cannon, you can kill the thieves in the cave with one shot at the entrance of the cave."
Zheng Zhong begged for mercy while suffering pain: "My lord, I don't know, there is no one to guard the cave, my lord, you think, if our boss asks people to guard the treasure, how will it definitely attract the attention of others, now the army is in chaos, how many troops can't hold this cave, our boss just set up a stone gate inside, there is nothing."
Wang Guangfu was right when he thought about it, so he let go of Zheng Zhong and said, "Why is there fire in which cave?" ”
Zheng Zhongdao: "This villain really doesn't know! ”
Wang Guangfu didn't look like Zheng Zhong was lying, but there was a fire in the cave, and he didn't know who was staying in this cave overnight, so it was better to go into the cave to see what was going on, and it would not be too late for the team to enter the cave
"Wang Er Mazi, you take someone to wait here, I'll sneak in first to see what is going on, watch me signal to act, if the torch shakes back and forth at the mouth of the cave three times, you will bring the soldiers in to get the treasure, if you don't enter the torch for an hour, you will lead the troops to rush in" Wang Qian broke up with the next general road
"Yes, Mr. Sen." Wang Er Mazi replied that this Wang Er Mazi is a general under Wang Guangfu.
Wang Guangfu took off his armor, took off his helmet, tied straw to his shoes, and then secretly came to the cave. When he arrived at the entrance of the cave, he heard the sound of talking inside, and Wang Guangfu hid behind the rock wall outside the cave and listened carefully
"Liangpu, I don't know who you are going to recommend your invention first when you go to Beijing this time, you must know that now there are fewer loyal ministers in the court, and traitors are in charge, like Zhou Yanru, you will definitely not let you succeed" The person who said this seemed to be forty or fifty years old, and it sounded like a gentleman.
"Mr. Zixian, thanks to Mr. Zixian's help, I escaped the attack of thieves today, Mr. Zixian is my reborn parent, thank you...... But after my Wang Zheng was attacked by this thief, I felt that I didn't want to go to Beijing anymore. Alas, "This voice is very young, about 20 years old.
"Brother Zhenzhi, tell me, can this court still safeguard the interests of us scholars?" The middle-aged man said
The middle-aged man known as Zhenzhi pondered for a while and said: "It's hard to say, I think I have also awarded the posts of Shaoqing of Pinglu Temple, Zhizhou, Taifu Temple, and Wailang of the Nanjing Ministry of Industry, but I didn't expect that the saint actually listened to Zhou Yanru's advice, saying that I was engaged in strange and clever tricks, and I was dismissed and exiled to the township because I did not have the face of the Heavenly Empire." Fortunately, I met Brother Xu on the road, and it happened that my two brothers climbed Mount Tai together and met, otherwise I would have died in the hands of thieves, I think that the court can no longer be counted on today, I think that with Brother Xu, Brother Wang, we can live in seclusion on this Mount Tai together, and it is not bad to be a hermit."
"That's it, that's it...... Haha, haha" The middle-aged man surnamed Xu laughed
"Haha, haha"
Wang Guangfu heard it at this time, these three people climbed Mount Tai together, just because it was dark one night, and they stayed in a cave in the middle of the mountain, as if they were two middle-aged people and a young man...... The young man seemed to be preparing to go to Beijing to catch the exam, but he was attacked by thieves from Shandong on the road and lost his entanglement, and at this time, two middle-aged people outside the country drew their swords to help and rescued the young man. Listen to the voice, there are still three people in Shandong.
Wang Guangfu flashed to the entrance of the cave, hugged his fists and bowed and said with a smile: "Gentlemen are gathering here, the villain passes by here, and sees that there is light in the cave, so Xun Guang comes, and the rude place is more forgiving."
"Brush brush brush ,,," The guards protecting the three of them immediately became vigilant......
"Put your weapons away, this brother doesn't look like a bad guy," one of the middle-aged men hurriedly stopped
"Thank you, sir," Wang Guangfu thanked for his work
"The contemptible Xu Guangqi Zizi first Prince Taibao, Shaobao, and now he is forced to resign and return to his hometown in Shanghai County, this is Li Zhizao's word Zhenzhi, and he has also served as Shaoqing, Zhizhou, Taifu Siqing, and Nanjing Ministry of Labor, etc., and now he is also resigning to return to Renhe County, guiding the way through Tai'an, and unfortunately met the bandits who are attacking this little brother, and the two of us are guarding to repel the bandits, and the three of them are staying here" Xu Guangqi introduced himself and Li Zhizao.
The other younger one seems to be of a different level from Xu Guangqi and Li Zhizao, so he was not introduced......
The young man also introduced himself and said: "Xiao Ke Wang is a good man, and he has no achievements at all." I was lifted once. After that, he didn't like it, so he returned to his hometown and made some small inventions. Later, friends in Beijing invited me to go to Beijing to take the exam. Unexpectedly, he was attacked by bandits at the foot of this mountain, thanks to the help of Mr. Xu and Mr. Li. to be able to survive."
Wang Guangfu saw that he had been a court official in the past few years, and he did not dare to slack off. Zuo said: "Three gentlemen, the villain is a thousand generals under Li Long, the counselor of Qingzhou Prefecture in Shandong, and he will be replaced by Wang Guangfu. Just because the thieves are attacking Yanzhou City, the capital of Shandong. Governor Zeng Hualong urgently transferred Qingzhou General Li Long to ask for help, Qingzhou General Li Long led an army of 20,000 to fight, when our army passed through Yanggu County, 50,000 thieves were storming Yanggu County. General Li decisively attacked the thieves in Yanggu County, and the thieves were defeated and fled. 20,000 beheadings (deliberately exaggerated) and 10,000 prisoners. General Li remembered the city of Yanzhou, but it was not safe, and he could not carry a large number of thieves and prisoners to slow down together. At the time of the execution of the captives, there was a man named Zheng Zhong who was greedy for life and feared death, saying that there was a treasure they had hidden in this cave. General Li thought that if he got these treasures, he could greatly increase the economic strength of Qingzhou Prefecture. In this way, Qingzhou's military defense force can be better improved. It is a matter of time before General Li clears his troops into the customs, and if the defense of Qingzhou is not strengthened, it will definitely be destroyed in the future. For the sake of the people, General Li ordered me to take people to follow Zheng Zhong here, and I saw a fire in the cave from a distance, thinking that it was a thief. The villain dived into the cave to find out. I don't want to actually bump into the gentlemen, it's rude."
If Li Long was here, he would have been surprised, and anyone who knows the history of the Ming Dynasty knows these three people. These three people have made outstanding contributions to the science and technology and invention of the Ming Dynasty.
Wang Zheng was taught by his father since he was a child, and at the age of 24, he was not very proud of the examination room, so he returned to the village to entertain himself by farming and studying. Wang Zheng once made "siphons", "crane drinks", "wheel pots", and also made "rotation mills" and "bicycles". Whenever spring and summer are plowing, the machines he makes are brought to the fields, which is very lively.
At that time, the Jesuit priest Matteo Ricci gave a lecture on the Beijing teacher, and Xu Guangqi, Li Zhizao and other Chinese scholars traveled with him and jointly translated the books of Western science. Wang Zheng was fifty-two years old (the second year of the Apocalypse) when he was a jinshi, and next year Ai Julius wrote "The Outer Records of the Staff", Wang Zheng saw that the mechanical engineering things recorded in this book were not owned by the Chinese tradition, and he was very yearning, and sighed: "Huh! How can I see such a strange artifact in the world?" Later, he became an official in Guangping, worked hard to clear the river, and irrigated thousands of acres of fields. At that time, Kinniege was in Shanxi, he invited Jin's to come to Shaanxi to preach, Kinnige was a Belgian, Matteo Ricci came to China in the year of his death, once collected Matteo Ricci's notes and wrote the Latin "History of China's Enlightenment", Wang Zheng and Jin's study Latin, this is the first Chinese to learn Latin
Li Zhizao was a scientist in the Ming Dynasty, knowledgeable, and skilled in astronomical calendrical calculations and mathematics. "Xiaochang's Art of War, proficient in the study of Taixi", is as famous as Xu Guangqi.
Xu Guangqi was a native of Shanghai County, Songjiang Prefecture, Nanzhili, Ming Dynasty, a mathematician, scientist, agronomist, politician, and military strategist in the late Ming Dynasty. Astronomy, calendrical calculations, and firearms. He entered the Catholic Church and studied with Matteo Ricci, an Italian. For 40 years, he served as a compiler of almanacs, and worked with the missionary Xiong Sanba to make the heavens and the earth and other observators. The following year, he was reprimanded, said he was sick and went to work, and he worked in Tianjin.
But the author is sorry everyone,,,,, sorry...... When Chongzhen was fifteen years old, Xu Guangqi and Li Zhizao had already died for ten years among the three people, and Wang Zheng would also die seven days after Emperor Chongzhen's death. Hunger strike.
But these three famous scientists and inventors need to be used in this book, otherwise how would rocket artillery and the first tanks and steamships be found in the future? So the author brought the three of them back to life
Xu Guangqi and Li Zhizao returned the salute to Wang Guangfu and sighed: "I didn't expect that my Ming still has such loyal generals, I didn't expect that my Ming still has generals who can conquer and fight, and it is really my Ming luck to have General Li to guard Shandong."
Li Zhizao and Wang Zheng both agreed, and Li Zhizao asked: "I don't know how many soldiers and horses Wang Qian led to get the treasure, seeing that there is no treasure in the cave, how to get it?"
Although Wang Guangfu didn't know Xu Guangqi and the others, he felt that they were not bad people, saying that they only had a dozen guards, and there were more than 100 soldiers I brought, if they really had evil intentions, they were not afraid that they would snatch the treasure. He smiled and said, "The villain brought a hundred soldiers, one of them." ”
"Haha, haha," Xu Guangqi laughed and said: "Mr. Wang Qian, the treasure in this cave, the Wang Zheng brothers have already discovered it, but they haven't touched a penny. ”
"There is such a thing," Wang Guangfu said he did not believe
Wang Zheng smiled but did not answer, Li Zhizao explained: "The Wang Zheng brothers have the potential to invent and are good at making organs. When a few of us entered this cave tonight, we were attacked by the mechanism in the cave, and several guards were shot and wounded, and the Wang Zheng brothers asked us to retreat, and he went into the cave to check alone, and found that the mechanism of this cave was very simple, so it was easy to crack. Also opened the hidden stone door and found the treasure inside"
"Really, if you ask Brother Wang to open it, I will let the soldiers come up and carry the treasure"
As he spoke, Wang Zheng took off the torch and went to the entrance of the cave and shook the torch three times.
At this time, Wang Zheng came to the front of a stone wall, and Wang Guangfu saw that it was a bare stone, and there was no trace of the door. Wang Zheng touched down with his right hand, found a stone the size of a soybean, and then gently pressed it down. The heavy stone door opened with a bang......
Taking the torch, Wang Guangfu took a look inside, only to see a gold ingots as high as a hill and a box with a mouth.
At this time, Wang Er Mazi arrived with his troops, and after seeing the three gentlemen, he followed Wang Guangfu into this treasure cave. 、。
That night, Wang Guangfu asked the soldiers to load the gold ingots and a mouthful of boxes onto the ox carts, and more than 100 ox carts were full of them and stopped at the entrance of the cave.
Wang Guangfu and Wang Qian arranged for fifty soldiers to guard all night until dawn, when they had time to count the number of treasures. Mr. Xu Guangqi estimated that an ox cart would carry about 1,000 catties. When the chest was opened, it was full of gold. about sixteen thousand taels of gold. At the end of the Ming Dynasty, the ratio of gold and silver was 1:11, which was about 176,000 taels of silver.
The carts were full of one hundred and nine hundred thousand taels of silver. That's enough for the total income of Qingzhou Mansion for a thousand years......
Wang Guangfu instructed Wang to bring the troops to Qingzhou Mansion, and then said to Xu Guangqi, Li Zhizao and Wang Zheng: "Mr. Xu, Mr. Li, Mr. Wang." At present, there are mostly bandits in Shandong, and the thieves are very heavy, ranging from thousands to tens of thousands. With just a dozen people under Mr., there is no way to leave Shandong alive. Why don't a few gentlemen go to Qingzhou Mansion to live temporarily with the officers and soldiers? ”
Xu Guangqi thought about it, and felt that what Wang Qian said made sense, but now there are thieves everywhere, this is not Qingzhou General Li Long is leading troops to attack bandits, and Yanzhou, the capital of Shandong, is surrounded by bandits, and tens of thousands of soldiers and horses in Yanzhou Mansion can't get rid of the thieves, and now relying on a few of us, we can't leave Shandong alive. It's better to follow Mr. Wang Qian to Qingzhou Mansion to avoid it...... One: Qingzhou's soldiers are strong and strong, and in addition to the millions of taels of money just obtained, it has strengthened Qingzhou's military strength, and ordinary bandits do not dare to attack Qingzhou easily. Two: Li Long, the general of Qingzhou Mansion, is a military general who can fight well, and he has long heard that Li Long was attacked by bandits in the river on the way to protect Zeng Hualong, the governor of Shandong, and Li Long led a hundred soldiers to easily repel thousands of bandits, and killed the leader of the bandits. From these two points, Xu Guangqi decided to follow Wang Guangfu to Qingzhou for a trip......
After Xu Guangqi asked Li Zhizao and Wang Zheng for their opinions, he asked the two to go to Qingzhou together. At noon that day, Wang Guangfu, Xu Guangqi, Li Zhizao, and Wang Zheng and a group of more than 100 officers and soldiers escorted 100 ox carts to Qingzhou......
Not to mention that Wang Guangfu and others got 17.6 million taels of silver and then went back to Qingzhou. Let's just say that of course, after Wang Guangfu was sent by Li Long to Mount Tai to hunt for treasures...... After straightening out the soldiers and horses, packing up the grain and grass, and burning the corpses of the thieves, the battle flags and armor, he collected more than 20,000 taels of silver from the corpses of the thieves. Li Long ordered Zhu Fulei to bring a hundred soldiers, put away the knives, guns, swords and halberds and other iron weapons discarded by the thieves and send them back to Qingzhou Mansion.
Li Long then ordered the soldiers to stop and clean up the battlefield, and bring the bodies of their companions, as well as the heads and prisoners of the bandits, along with the dead horses on the battlefield. and marched to Yanzhou Mansion.
Seeing Li Long take the people away, the magistrate also wiped his sweat and said, "Is this still an official army?" Do we still have such officers and soldiers in the Ming Dynasty? ”
Yanggu County is close to Yanzhou Mansion, so after the army set off, it only took more than an hour to arrive at Yanzhou Mansion.
At this time, the army of Lao Ba and others was in the southern city of Yanzhou Mansion, and Li Long did not want to alarm them, so he led the army around the north gate of Yanzhou Mansion and entered the city.
The city gate was opened, the drawbridge was lowered, and Li Long led the army into the city, only to find that Zeng Hualong and a group of people would greet him at the city gate, and hurriedly dismounted, because his official position was not high, so he had to pay homage to everyone one by one. Among them is King Lu
Zeng Hualong helped him up and said in a harmonious voice: "Li Long, it's been hard all the way. ”
Li Long hurriedly said: "The governor is still working hard for state affairs, how can we say that it is hard." ”
Zeng Hualong smiled, looked at the team entering the city again, and said, "The soldiers you brought are really different. It is not in vain that the official recommends one. ”
Li Long said: "The adults have won the award, and the subordinates dare not be ashamed." ”
Only then did Li Long tell him about passing through Yanggu County and defeating the bandits. When Zeng Hualong heard this, he couldn't help laughing, patted Li Long's back, and said, "Okay! I can't imagine that you didn't come to Yanzhou Mansion, but you made a great contribution and saved Yanggu County, which is not a small credit! In the future, I will be like this, and the generals who came with Zeng Hualong have already heard of Li Long's name, and I saw that Li Long made a meritorious contribution on the way to Yanzhou Mansion, and he was deeply respected by the governor, because they were all jealous and jealous, but in front of Zeng Hualong, they didn't dare to show it.
At this time, all the teams entered the city of Yanzhou, and the city gate was closed again. Zeng Hualong patted Li Long before he returned, and said, "Li Long, you go and settle your soldiers first!" Tonight, I will hold a banquet for you in the pavilion, and at the same time it can be regarded as a celebration for you. "Report to the court."
Li Long arrived at Yanzhou Mansion on the 4th of February, and on the same day that Li Long arrived at Yanzhou Mansion, Liukou's men and horses also gathered outside the city, and according to the spies, Liukou's army should be between 80,000.
That night, Zeng Hualong arranged a banquet in the pavilion to catch Li Long's wind, and also to celebrate Li Long's victory in rescuing Yanggu County. The news of Li Long's victory in Yanggu County had already been reported to the whole city in order to boost the morale of the soldiers and civilians in the city. Also present were Wang Ying, the prefect of Dengzhou, and Chen Guan, the prefect of Yanzhou, as well as more than a dozen local officials and generals, because Li Long's meritorious service would not affect his status, so their attitude towards Li Long was not bad.
During the banquet, there were two governors sitting here, and the generals did not dare to be too presumptuous, and everyone was staggered, although the atmosphere was very lively, but it was still harmonious. Because Li Long first made military exploits, so starting from the two governors, they toasted Li Long one by one, but although distilled liquor was popularized in the Ming Dynasty, the degree of liquor at this time was not high, and it was about twenty or thirty degrees. Therefore, I also came to drink, and I drank more than a dozen glasses in a row, and my face did not change.
After three rounds of drinking, Zeng Hualong said to Wang Ying: "Governor Wang, Denglai's men and horses came to rescue Yanzhou Mansion, the action was in a hurry, and there may not be much food with the army, and it has been three days since the men and horses arrived in Yanzhou, so please also ask the local government to support our army with some grain and grass." “
Wang Ying hurriedly said: "It's easy to say, it's easy to say, but may I ask Governor Zeng, how many people in the Denglai area will rush to Yanzhou Mansion, and we can prepare all together." ”
Zeng Hualong shook his head and said: "No, what General Li brought is the last team of Denglai, and there will be no more in the future, so according to the current amount, it is good to support our army for ten days of food and grass first." ”
"Ahh There are only so many centaurs! Zeng Hualong's eyes couldn't help but flash a look of disappointment, but he immediately covered it up again and said, "Okay, okay, I'll let Yanzhou Mansion arrange it tomorrow." Then he turned his head and said to Chen Guan who was sitting on the side: "Governor Chen, you will pay ten days of grain and grass for Denglai's men and horses tomorrow." ”
Chen Guan hurriedly arched his hand and said, "Your Majesty respects your life." ”
Li Long watched their actions while drinking wine, and vaguely heard a few words, although he didn't hear them all, he could roughly guess what they were talking about. Then he inquired like Wang Xuzhai at the adjacent table about how many people Li Long had brought this time. Now in Yanzhou Mansion, how many people are there?
Fan Qing's fame is not heavy, although he is envious of Li Long, he is not too hostile, and now he is also drunk five or six points, so when he heard Li Long ask, he also talked about it.
It turned out that this time Li Long rescued Yanzhou Mansion, and brought a total of 4,000 Qingzhou super long spears, led by the garrison Chen Jixiang, 2,000 firecrackers led by the garrison Zhang Cheng, 3,000 crossbowmen, and 1,000 guards and sword players, all led by the generals. In addition the officers who followed had two garrisons, four thousand in total. Attack 10,000 horses.
Li Long listened to this, and couldn't help but smile bitterly, regardless of the garrison in Shandong, there are a total of 70 guards, 90 thousand households, according to the custom, a guard station should have more than 5,000 horses, and a thousand households should have 1,200 soldiers, but only Li Long of Qingzhou sent 10,000 horses, it seems that Zeng Hualong, the governor, is indeed very difficult.
The local garrison in Yanzhou Mansion was even smaller, only more than 5,800 people, although Zeng Hualong sent an official letter to Dongchang Mansion and Jinan Mansion to transfer troops, but there was no response, and it is estimated that it is difficult to count on it.
Although the rogue is generally dragged with the family, so the actual combatants on the basis of the total number, at least one in half, but 60,000 or 70,000 rogue bandits, draw out about 30,000 troops should always have, and there are only more than 15,000 horses in the city, although it is enough to defend the city, but it is estimated that it is still difficult to repel the rogues. Therefore, Li Long can only hope that the Liukou will not attack a city for a long time, and after attacking the city for a few days, he will take the initiative to withdraw.
At this time, Zeng Hualong and Wang Ying also formulated a plan to defend the city between the wine tables, with the Qingzhou people paying the responsibility for the west and south gates, and the Yanzhou people guarding the east and north gates. Zeng Hualong immediately ordered that Li Long should be responsible for guarding the south gate, assisted by Yang Mingyuan and Fan Qing, Liu Tianxi should be responsible for guarding the west gate, assisted by Ma Hanfu, and his own family and Gao Tian's men and horses would be the reserve troops.
Although this is not a public court, it is a fine tradition in China to talk about business at the wine table, and it is the same in ancient and modern times. So the garrison plan of Yanzhou Mansion was also decided.
