Chapter 90: The Warrior
The second letter is actually Zhu Jian's bad taste, it can also be said to be a solicitation and test, the olive branch is extended, it depends on Song Yingxing's reaction, the official who came with the secret letter of the Son of Heaven is the invigilator, and he will help Zhu Jian speak just right. exaggerated everything that happened in the court.
Old Song, do you know? The court is like a battlefield, your brother was scolded by the Donglin Party to the point that he was worthless, he spat under his feet, and they were a little bit of a lower limit of discipline, and they didn't greet all the women in your family. The Son of Heaven is for you, but he is too strong to disagree, and even makes a fortune, but the Donglin Party is too powerful, and the Son of Heaven finally compromised and sacrificed the quota of promoting several aspiring young people to ensure that you were not brushed down by the Donglin Party.
The Son of Heaven does not ask you to be grateful, but I just hope to show what you have learned all your life, help him govern the Ming Dynasty, benefit the common people in the world, and go down in history.
A big flicker, which had already moved Song Yingxing to tears, and then looked at the second letter from the Son of Heaven, he couldn't help but cry again.
Zhu Jian's second letter was actually dictated by him, ghostwritten by the gunman, and the ancient sayings of the Eight Classics were touching and tear-jerking, and I couldn't wait for people to cut out their hearts to show their loyalty.
The envelope is "Mr. Chang Gung personally opened" six dragons flying and phoenix dances, vigorous and powerful brush words, Mr. Shan's title, so that Song Yingxing's old face is slightly red and his heart is warm, to be honest, how can he afford the word Mr., if it is someone else, he must be regarded as sarcasm, and it is strange not to fight, but from the mouth of the Son of Heaven, the meaning is completely different, the Son of Heaven is treating him as a national soldier.
In this letter, Zhu Jian did not talk nonsense, but said things seriously, I know that Mr. has great talent, ambition, and passion, and wants to write a comprehensive work about agriculture, handicrafts, etc., for the benefit of the world, but there is no stage to display his talents, now, I will give you the stage, play well, come on, I am optimistic about you, don't ask me how I know that you are talented, anyway, I know, whether you believe it or not, I believe it.
A few sentences at the end of the letter suddenly changed the style of painting, and it seemed to be a little out of tune again, the family is not peaceful, how can you govern the country with peace of mind? I know that Mr. is arrogant, but his life is quite hard, and he has wronged his wife and children, and this 10,000 taels of silver tickets is considered a salary advanced in advance, and it means nothing else, by the way, a reminder, don't get involved with those colleagues who have formed a faction in Laban, and be a good official who will go down in history.
Song Yingxing couldn't help crying again, the Son of Heaven is not only his bosom friend, but also treats him like a national soldier, this kindness and virtue, he should swear allegiance to the death, the Jiangnan faction of the Shenma Donglin Party, the official doesn't know anything, and there is only the emperor in his eyes.
The reason why he regarded the Son of Heaven as a bosom friend was because he usually had a habit of recording some things such as handicraft production methods and agricultural cultivation when he was idle, and in order to figure out some details of the process, he even went to the field to ask the farmer in person to experience the hardships of farming and labor, so as to obtain the correct labor or production method.
There are many records of these things, and he has a faint idea in his heart, to sort them out and compile them into a book for the convenience of the world, but the collection is still not enough, not perfect, and it is not an easy task to write a book, and it also costs a lot of money to print a book, which is not something he can afford as a poor teacher, so he hides this idea deep in his heart and does not let people know, but the Son of Heaven knows.
The ancients believed in ghosts and gods, and the natural phenomena that cannot be explained at present are all classified as gods, and Song Yingxing is no exception, otherwise how can it be explained that the Son of Heaven who is far away in Beijing will know the secret of his heart? Therefore, the Son of Heaven is the true true dragon, and he treats him as a national soldier, how can he not be grateful and swear to death.
Song Yingxing was not arrogant, he happily accepted the 10,000 taels of silver tickets, settled his family, and then brought his official uniform to seal the letter, took two young Zhuang people, and went on the road with gratitude and passion for serving the country.
Messed with Song Yingxing, Zhu Jian was in a good mood, in fact, there were quite a lot of cattle in the late Ming Dynasty, it depends on how you use them, don't use suspicious people, don't doubt people, this is the iron law of employing people, and another is to protect them, not to interfere with blind command, not only to let them have a stage to play freely, but also to help them prevent being killed by pig teammates, there are fewer cattle people, one less dead, Cao Wenzhao, Lu Xiangsheng and other cattle in history are not all killed by pig teammates? Of course, Emperor Chongzhen also has to bear some responsibility, fortunately, Emperor Chongzhen in this time and space is no longer the Chongzhen who is suspicious and has been fooled miserably by the Donglin Party.
However, there are also some cattle people who have become arrogant and disobedient because of their repeated military exploits, such as He Renlong, Zuo Liangyu, Mao Wenlong, etc., Mao Wenlong is stationed on Phi Island, just like a sharp knife against the abdomen of the Jin Army, which has a great effect, and he really didn't dare to touch Mao Wenlong before the Wolf Battalion, the Shenji Battalion and the Phoenix Legion were not trained into an army.
Historically, Mao Wenlong was arrogant and arrogant, provoked Yuan Chonghuan to be killed, lost the containment of Phi Dao, and the rear of the Jin army was solid, and he could rest assured that he could boldly free up his hands and feet to attack Ming, and finally settle the country.
When the time is ripe, he will transfer Mao Wenlong away from Phi Island, and Cao Bianjiao will lead the wolf battalion to take over and garrison, Mao Wenlong is also a meritorious general, he will not kill the donkey, he will still let him lead the army to fight, it can be regarded as giving him a chance, it depends on whether Mao Wenlong clearly understands things and understands whether he understands how to be a man.
However, the current situation is somewhat different from the original history, the internal affairs of the Ming Dynasty have not been turned upside down because of the people's army, the border army stationed in Liaodong has not been seriously short of food, clothing, and salary, and their morale is low, and even there is a mutiny, the welfare is much better than before, and the weapons and equipment are becoming more and more sophisticated, and the Jin army that has committed the border has suffered heavy casualties, and it is impossible to break through the border pass and invade the Central Plains.
The good news came one after another, in Shaanxi, Sun Chuanting led the main force of the division to defeat Wang Jiayin, Gao Yingxiang and other 36 battalions of the people's army by the Yellow River, the people's army was ambushed by Cao Wenzhao's Guangping army when retreating, scattered and fled, and a small number of people's troops who crossed the Yellow River were also defeated by the officers and troops who were waiting for work, either jumping into the Yellow River and drowning, or stubbornly resisting and being killed, or surrendering, which was considered the annihilation of the whole army.
Wang Jiayin, Gao Yingxiang, Li Zicheng, etc., who made Zhu Jian regret, were like Xiaoqiang who couldn't be killed, and they still slipped away safely under the siege of the official army.
The 36th Battalion of the People's Army was defeated, most of the officers and soldiers surrendered, and the leaders were all snapped away, while the ordinary people were sent to the labor camps to serve as free laborers, forced to dig water conservancy reservoirs, open mountains for mining, etc., and only after five years of labor reform will they be released.
In the era of backward science and technology, young and strong are the best labor productivity, Zhu Jian will not waste it, food and housing and other welfare benefits are relatively much better than those of prisoners in the original time and space, and strictly order the officers and soldiers in charge of guarding not to treat prisoners of war harshly, labor intensity is not allowed to be too overloaded, prisoners of war are even allowed to communicate with their families, people stationed in Jinyiwei and Dongchang are cross-supervised, and a team of medical teams is also sent to treat sick prisoners of war.
Because of the better welfare benefits, coupled with the promise of being released after five years of labor reform, most of those prisoners of war who were originally poor people worked honestly, and a very small number of people were restless, instigated trouble, and looked for opportunities to escape.
Another piece of good news is that Empress Zhou is finally happy.
