Chapter 18: Letter from the Jingshi

Early the next morning, Yang Bo took Yun Niang and others to bid farewell to Chen Bilian......

After the extermination of the Wenxiang Sect, Maojiatun ushered in a rare respite, so Yang Bo gave Chen Bilian dozens of mortars to equip them, accompanied by artillery instructor Fernandez, and one hundred and fifty veterans of Maojiatun.

The purpose of Chen Bilian's trip is to go back to rectify the human ships, the reduction of the retrenchment, the rectification of the rectification, Chen Bilian originally wanted to go back to consolidate the newly laid down Pingshan, Dashan two islands, but Yang Bo carefully looked at the map and denied her idea, these two small islands radiate Zhangzi Island in the north, Ludao, Changshan Island in the east, and Dengzhou Islands in the east, which are not suitable for the construction of the main base, and only need to be firmly controlled in their own hands, and it is good to use them as supply bases in the future.

Waiting for the spring of next year, Chen Bilian will return to Maojiatun again to marry Yang Bo, and begin to go all out to go to sea trade.

Waiting for the shadow of the Black Pearl to disappear into the distance, Yang Bo looked at Yun Niang, who was a little lonely, and asked with a smile: "Yun Niang, do you want to do business?" ”

Yun Niang was stunned, and quickly nodded: "I want to, but I don't know what to do. ”

Yang Bo said mysteriously: "I already have a plan, but Xianggong I invested all my capital in sea trade this time, and I really don't have any extra silver." ”

"How much worse is Xianggong? Yun Niang still has nearly 10,000 taels of silver here, if you pawn some gold beads and jade hairpins, you can make up 20,000 yuan" Yun Niang and Yang Bo walked slowly side by side, she had bound her feet since she was a child, and the three-inch golden lotus couldn't go fast.

Yang Bo didn't answer, but asked, "Can Yun Niang know about account transactions?" Can you understand the purchase write-off? ”

Yun Niang smiled slightly: "Yun Niang also has a good calculation." ”

"Good!"

Yang Bo nodded: "Yun Niang can go to the private school at night to learn double-entry bookkeeping, this is the bookkeeping method I made, simple and easy to understand"

Yun Niangqi said: "The new bookkeeping method invented by Xianggong? ”

Yang Bo's old face flushed, and he looked at him left: "This double-entry accounting method is different from the general flow account, and you can see the balance at a glance, which is very useful."

Seeing Yun Niang nodding, Yang Bo said again: "Maojiatun is about to open a factory, and Yun Niang will be worried at that time."

"What does that worker do?"

"Preparing for the production of chiming ......"

Yang Bo carried Yun Niang to the mountainside of Dafu Mountain to worship the martyrs' tombs, and only returned happily after overlooking the sea for a while.

After coming back, Yang Bo began to prepare to go to Jimo Camp to order Mao, the court reward has not yet been given, he is not good to go first, this time Anton Wei asked for merit, Yan Kunzhi held a group of gentry who secretly communicated with the Wenxiang Sect, not only knocked a large amount of money and food, but also forced them to go to the book, for everyone to show merit, these puppets also have an important role, that is, to expand Yang Bo's number of troops loudly.

Not long after his return, a guard delivered a second letter from Bi Francis......

As he expected, after returning to Beijing, Sun Yuanhua was tortured in the prison of Zhenfusi, (his hands were tortured five times, and more than 200 plundered).

In July, Sun Yuanhua and Zhang Tao were sentenced to be beheaded in Xishi, and others such as Yu Dacheng, Song Guanglan, Wang Zheng and others were sent to fill the army. However, one of the people mentioned in Bi Francis's letter caught Yang Bo's attention, and before Sun Yuanhua was executed, the Christian missionary John Tang disguised himself as a charcoal servant and sent him to prison to make a final confession.

John Tong, an Italian mathematician, a celestial, philosophical, classical, artillery expert, and mechanical mechanics expert, had a close relationship with Galileo in the Roman Academy, as well as a monk and priest of the Christian Church, lived in China for 47 years, went through the Ming and Qing dynasties, and was buried on the left side of the Matteo Ricci tomb in Yanjing after his death.

Yang Bo can remember that he is still thanks to the countless TV series that praised the "Holy Monarch" in later generations, in order to highlight the great achievements of the "Emperor of the Ages", he is humble and comes from all directions, and Tang Ruowang, who is dressed as a monkey, often appears on major screens, of course, Tang Ruowang's almost torture in his later years is rarely publicized.

Tang Ruowang made the last prayer for Sun Yuanhua, and when the execution was completed, he went around to collect the funeral for Sun Yuanhua, and Sun Yuanhua's body was buried in the barren polder outside the south gate of Jiading, and there was a stone tablet in front of the tomb, which read "the tomb of Sun Yuanhua in the imperial history of the capital"

Back then, Bi Fangji and these people came to Daming after all the hardships, and when they finally arrived, there were only five people left, and there was Tang Ruowang......

Hearing that Bi Francis shined in Anton Wei and made a career, Tang Ruowang was extremely surprised, and after Bi Francis finished talking about the experience of the past few years, Tang Ruowang showed great interest in Yang Bo and insisted on coming to Anton Wei with Bi Francis to have a look, Bi Francis did not dare to make his own decisions, so he wrote to ask Yang Bo what he meant.

There is another thing that Yang Bo also attaches great importance to, that is, the fermentation of the Sun Yuanhua incident and the trend of the follow-up party struggle in the court.

In the matter of impeaching Sun Yuanhua, Wen Tiren and his family did their best, coupled with the long-cherished enemy Yu Yinggui of Shaanxi Province, Li Mengchen and Lu Zhenfei in the military department, etc., and the impeachment complaint was like snowflakes......

Wen Tiren won a big victory in this battle.

When Yang Bo saw this, he keenly felt that this court council was a weather vane, indicating that Wen Tiren had begun to move to the forefront, and the battle had become public, indicating that it was not far from the fall of Zhou Yanru, but no matter how Yang Bo recalled, he couldn't think of how Wen Tiren overthrew Zhou Yanru, since he couldn't figure it out, Yang Bo didn't bother to think about it.

Yang Bo pondered for a long time and began to write back to Bi Francis.

Since Bi Fangji didn't leave so quickly, he asked Bi Fangji to stay in Beijing for a while, and a five-person team in Maojiatun had already left for Beijing Division, one of the people in this team was selected from the civil affairs system to go to Beijing to be the treasurer, and the other few people were selected from the special forces camp, and they had other heavy responsibilities.

These people will open a shop in Jingshi, use the shop as a base to provide all kinds of support to Maojiatun, and of course, after the Maojiatun factory starts to get on the right road, it will also be the main point of sale for the chiming bell.

Yang Bo asked Bi Francis to find a suitable address for him in Jingshi, and asked Bi Francis to ask the Christian church in Beijing for a few chiming bells to bring back as samples.

Another important thing is the flintlock pistol, Yang Bo also asked Bi Francis to bring a few flintlock pistols back, I had heard Bi Francis say before, as early as the Wanli period, there were Spaniards to the imperial court to present flintlock pistols, the artisan camp to transform the musket urgently needed samples.

In addition to these two things, there is another big thing that needs Francis's help.

After the siege of Dengzhou, 12 Portuguese in the city, including Silaojing, Ruweiliu, Fulang Aranda, Fangsi Valley, Ehongliu, Gongsa, Anni, Amier, Sacong, Amdo, Ujowang, and Peduo, were killed in battle, and fifteen others were seriously wounded.

Now that Dengzhou is about to be pacified, Yang Bo asked Bi Francis and Tang Ruowang to go to Dengzhou on the return trip, and use his identity to persuade those Portuguese to come to Maojiatun to live.

Yang Bo was very dissatisfied with the performance of the mortar artillery team commanded by Huang Erman during the last extermination of the Wenxiang Sect.

In the end, Yang Bo thought about it and added: "The priest is working hard, please take care of your body."

After writing, Yang Bo sealed the letter and handed it to the guards and advised: "Send it out early, and don't delay it." ”

At this moment, there was a burst of footsteps at the door, and after a while, the guards brought in a person, Yang Bo recognized it, but this person was Chen Bilian's subordinate.

"My lord, Chen Dangjia asked me to turn back to report the news, from the mouth of the Yalu River to Guanglu Island, the imperial court sailors poured out of the nest, and all kinds of boats covered the sky, Chen Dangjia judged that their purpose was Dengzhou, Lushun area, or related to the siege of Dengzhou, Chen Dangjia was a little worried that the channel would be unquiet in the near future, so he sent a small one to warn the adults first"

The man didn't care about being polite, and directly said what he meant.

"Oh?"

Yang Bo's heart sank: "Go get the map!" ”
