Fengxin County, Yuanzhou Prefecture, Daming Jiangxi Province.

There is a Songjiazhuang in the north of the county, in front of the gate of the largest house in Songjiazhuang.

Kang Xing'an, who had not shown up for a long time, was standing in front of the gate and waiting quietly.

The doorman had already taken the prayer note in, and was now waiting for the master's reply.

Anzi was a little nervous, this time, would Song Juren be willing to see him?

This is the third time this month, and the first two times Song Juren was not at home, saying that he was visiting friends......

Nima, I don't believe a word in this, Song Juren has watched too much "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", right?!

Well, speaking of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", is the young master Liu Xuande or Cao Mengde?

It doesn't feel like it......

Just when Anzi was thinking wildly, the little guy who entered the courtyard came out and bowed to Anzi: "Manager Kang, the master is invited." ”

As soon as Anzi heard the title of "Chief Manager Kang", he immediately straightened his waist a little, and now he is the head of the family of the dignified four-grade Ningyuan governor Zhang Da, so he must come out with some energy.

Anzi followed the little maid into the courtyard, this yard is not big, there are only three entrances in total, and the master lives in the innermost one.

The whole courtyard is also the residence of an ordinary squire, but it is a little less gorgeous and a little more simple.

Coming to the door of the study of the inner house, the little servant took Anzi to the door and left.

An Zilang said: "Ningyuan, the governor of Lord Zhang's house, asks to see Song Juren. ”

Soon a male voice came from the study: "Come in." ”

Anzi stepped into the study, and saw a middle-aged scribe about forty years old, wearing a round-necked scribe's robe, sitting upright on the main seat, looking at himself.

The middle-aged scribe let out a "huh", and seemed to be a little surprised by the head of the dignified four-grade civil official family. It turned out to be such a young hairy boy.

However, only a moment later, the middle-aged scribe pointed to the guest seat and said to An Zi, "Chief Kang, please take a seat." ”

Youdao is a seven-rank official in front of the prime minister, although Zhang Zhang is not the prime minister, but he is also a member of the party, and a small person must give this face.

Anzi sat down without humility or arrogance, and said, "Thank you Song Juren." ”

Song Juren glanced at the prayer post in his hand. With a puzzled look on his face, he said: "Manager Kang, he is just a lifter below, why does Master Zhang value it so much?" ”

Anzi nodded, and said with a solemn face: "My family has heard of Song Juren's name for a long time, and the adults said that Song Juren has very incisive insights into science and technology - well, for fortifications!" ”

Song Juren's eyes narrowed slightly, and he still didn't seem to believe it.

Yasuko stood up and pulled out an official letter of appointment from her bosom. Respectfully handed it to Song Juren.

Song Juren took the letter of appointment and looked at it, and immediately became excited, only to see that it was written "Give Song Yingxing Ningyuan Tuanshan Fort Experience...... "A few big words!

That's right, this Song Juren is the famous Song Yingxing.

Song Yingxing, who wrote "Heavenly Creation"!

This one doesn't need to be annotated anymore, and basically anyone who has studied knows his name.

"This, this ......" Song Yingxing raised from the middle of the Wanli year. I have been taking the Jinshi exam for nearly 20 years, but I have never passed the exam. Naturally, it is unlikely that he will become an official.

Now Zhang Zhang actually went to the door of the Ministry of Officials, and directly got Song Yingxing a position with seven-grade experience!

The experience of the military guard is equivalent to the county order, the dignified seven-grade county master!

Just when Anzi looked stunned, thinking that Song Juren must have obediently followed him to Liaodong, Song Juren spoke.

Song Yingxing said loudly: "I have thanked Lord Zhang for his kindness." However, he has no interest in his career. Recently, I opened a new book. In the next I will write a book and speak up. ”

Anzi was shocked, Nima, don't you want the officials who sent it to the door?

This Song Juren's brain was kicked by a donkey?!

However, Anzi took out a booklet from his arms and handed it to Song Yingxing: "Song Juren, my family said that you are in charge of the fortifications when you go to Ningyuan. Not civil. Here are some of my grown-up's ideas about mechanical devices and ......."

An Zi "harmonize" for a long time, and after all, he didn't know what to call "steelmaking law" or something like that.

Anzi doesn't understand, but Song Yingxing does!

Song Yingxing saw the booklet handed over by Anzi, and the first page in it was "New Method of Steelmaking"!

This, this is exactly what I think in my heart!

Song Yingxing was taken aback, and hurriedly flipped through the contents of the booklet, including machinery, bricks and tiles, ceramics, weapons, gunpowder, textiles, dyeing, salt making, coal mining, oil extraction, etc., almost everything.

Although there are only a few words below many items, and no specific plans are written, there are also a lot of whimsical ideas in them!

Song Yingxing was fascinated by it, and hung Anzi for half an hour before he came back to his senses.

Song Yingxing hurriedly asked, "Is Lord Zhang interested in these?" ”

An Zi nodded heavily, and said the "nonsense" that Zhang Li confessed to him: "Lord Zhang used to worship Lord Xu of the cabinet as a teacher-tsk, as the saying goes, if there is a teacher, there must be an apprentice, Lord Xu, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, Song Juren should know, right?" ”

After all, Zhang Zhang belongs to the "whoosh" rocket promotion, and there is no reputation at all.

However, Master Xu Guangqi, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, attaches great importance to science and technology, which is known to everyone in the entire Ming Dynasty.

If Zhang Li pretends to be under Xu Guangqi, then many things don't need to be explained.

Disciple of Lord Xu, what else does this Nima need to explain? It must be determined to engage in scientific and technological work!

Song Yingxing no longer had any doubts at this point, and the whole person trembled slightly, obviously too excited.

After a long time, Song Yingxing finally controlled his emotions and said to An Zi: "Manager Kang, if this is the case, then it is better to be respectful and obey your orders, and go to Ning Yuanwei for a while, and you will not live up to your knowledge." ”

Kang Xing'an was immediately overjoyed when he heard this, and did not forget to gently pat Song Juren's ass: "Song Juren is wise." As long as you arrive in Ningyuan, you will definitely be able to display your ambitions! ”

Song Yingxing bowed slightly, and began to inquire about the various situations in Ningyuan Tuanshan Fort......

In fact, it must be noted that during the Ming Dynasty, China's scientific and technological level was quite high.

For example, the fine ratio of gunpowder that appeared before, Qi Jiguang has long been written in the "New Book of Ji Xiao".

And Song Yingxing's "Heavenly Creations" even appeared in the theory of species development and variation, that is, the work done by Yuan Longping in later generations, although the theory is still just embryonic, but it is also very appalling.

"Heavenly Creations" has been praised by the West as "the encyclopedia of Chinese craftsmanship in the seventeenth century", which can be seen from this.

On this day, the Song Mansion was beaming with joy - Song Yingxing naturally did not say that he would go to Ningyuan to engage in scientific and technological research and development with Zhang Li, but that he would go to Ningyuan to be the prince of Qipin County, and the whole family was naturally very happy.

……

Ningyuan General Army's Mansion Inner House.

Zu Dashou still sits on the main seat, while his cousin Zu Dale and his son Zu Zepu stand on the left and right.

These two people don't look down on each other, but they are both defeated by Zhang Li's subordinates, which is a bit of sympathy.

Zu Dashou glanced at the two of them, sighed, and said in a deep voice: "Alas, I'm afraid Ning Yuan is going to change the sky!" ”

Zu Dale was silent, he was the chief soldier of Guangning, and Ning Yuan had nothing to do with him.

Zu Zepu was different, and said in an anxious tone: "Father, it's better to transfer all the 60,000 soldiers in Guangning and fight with that tension!" The boy wants to see if his 6,000 regiments of mountain army are powerful, or our 60,000 male divisions are powerful! ”

"Smack-" Zu Dashou slapped the desk next to the seat and scolded angrily: "Confused! ”

Zu Zepu was shocked, and his face suddenly turned red.

Zu Dale looked at it from the sidelines, and lost no time in "stepping on" a kick: "Zepu, there is no reason for our whole army to go out!" The thief is the governor of Ningyuan, our soldiers from Guangning are killing Ning Yuan violently, what do you want to do? This is a rebellion! It's okay to say that a small army can come to fight a dozen, but with the current strength of tension, it is impossible to defeat without heavy troops! ”

Zu Dashou's face turned pale, and he glared at Zu Zepu: "Your uncle is right, it is impossible for heavy troops to come and fight against Zhang Li. ”

Zu Zepu also reacted at this time, if it was really a strategic decisive battle between the Guangning Army and the Tuanshan Army, it would mean that the Ming Liaoxi generals would really rebel.

Even if he wins, I'm afraid there is only one way to defect to Jiannu.

Surrender Jiannu, with Huang Taiji's scheming, Liaoxi Jiangmen must not be as happy as now!

Zu Zepu said a little stupidly: "Father, Zhang Zhang has now deployed the sergeants on the southern line of the Shahe River to prevent us from going south to rescue!" Ning Yuan's middle and right offices have been lost yesterday, and Ning Yuan's rear guards may not be able to hold out for two days......"

Zu Dashou frowned and didn't say a word.

The Tuanshan Army recently attacked the city and took all the military garrisons south of the Shahe River in Ningyuan.

It's not all attacked, after all, Zhang Li is the governor of Ningyuan, and he ordered the defenders to change their guards, and many of the guards of the military garrison did not dare to disobey the order!

The cronies and guards of the Jiangmen in Liaoxi naturally would not surrender the tension, but the Ningyuan Acropolis was slow to send reinforcements, and they couldn't resist it, and they lost it one after another......

Zu Dashou thought about it for a long time, and finally seemed to have made up his mind, and said coldly: "Zepu, you are holding the Ningyuan Acropolis to the death, waiting for the situation to change." ”

"A change in the situation?" Zu Zepu was a little stunned, how could the situation change?

Zu Dale naturally understood what Zu Dashou was thinking, and said with a smile: "Let's stay up for a few months, Jiannu will definitely come to Ningyuan next year......

Zu Zepu suddenly understood that his father and uncle were going to let Jiannu enter Ningyuan and borrow a knife to kill people!

In previous years, the front line of the Ming-Jin war was in Guangning, I am afraid that my father meant that in the coming year, the whole territory of Guangning would shrink to avoid the war, and even send some "inner lines" to hint at the Tartars - "Lord Jinguo, please rest assured that through Guangning Wei, we will never betray your promise and copy your back road!" ”

As soon as he thought about it, Zu Zepu suddenly felt refreshed, and said: "The child is patient for a while, and it seems that the thief boy died in the old tension!" Hmph, doesn't he like field battles? It just so happens that Jiannu also likes field warfare! (To be continued......)
