Chapter 801 Let's say a few words
If you can cleanse your soul, your father-in-law will never cleanse your body.
After all, the latter's methods are too rough and it's just a bad person. It's really a shame to use them.
Everything must be sweet and lasting forever.
The seeds have been planted, and now they are waiting for the rain to nourish them, and they are waiting for them to sprout slowly and turn into towering trees.
On November 21, 2018, the 39th year of Wanli, Zhenjiang businessman Hu Shihai became the first member of the Rat Club...Temujin Treasure Thawing Committee.
Amid the blessings of Eunuch Wei, Member Hu began a glorious journey of life, and the Thawing Committee also began a legendary development.
Because I was too busy with work, Eunuch Wei had no time to stay in Zhenjiang for a few days to see if Member Hu was competent for heavy responsibilities. Therefore, after receiving the voluntary donation of the Zhenjiang Prefecture and the wealthy gentry, the father-in-law bent while waving the order to return.
This burp was so satisfying. Zhenjiang and his team gained a lot.
In order to thank the people of Zhenjiang and Yangzhou for their active support for the Ming Dynasty Imperial Army, Eunuch Wei specially ordered the two Cang ships to be named Zhenjiang and Yangzhou on his way back.
The Yangtze River Trip, which lasted nearly two months, finally came to an end perfectly. The trip had to take the initiative to seek refuge in the service of more than 200 young fishermen, more than 600 young and strong, and a total of nearly 700,000 taels of money and grain. It also organized the establishment of the Jiangbei Branch and Jiangnan Branch of the Maritime Chamber of Commerce (Planning), signed several letters of intention for maritime cooperation, issued several maritime licence certificates, and carried out the Sunshine Thaw Capital Operation Project. It is expected that in the near future, the Maritime Special Zone will surely prosper, and Eunuch Wei's money bag will also make money every day.
With the savings, the military expenditure of the Imperial Army in the 40th year of Wanli will definitely be able to be barely maintained.
In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, my father-in-law ordered that except for the horse team returning to the special zone along the river, all other units would return on naval ships.
The officers and soldiers have worked hard this time. My father-in-law will give him a reward after returning to the special zone so that everyone can celebrate the New Year happily.
Western priests such as Guo Jujing, Stellen and others also went to the Special Administrative Region. The missionaries did not know the real purpose of Lord Pang Maichen's shelling Zhenjiang. They only thought that the young servants around His Majesty the Emperor of Ming Dynasty were really organizing what he claimed to be the "exercise" to better train his army.
It may be because of professional reasons, or it may be really interested. The missionaries were very interested in the water and land exercises organized by the Imperial Army of the Ming Dynasty. For the purpose of cooperation, Eunuch Wei also consciously guided these missionaries to have a close-range and profound contact with his Imperial Army.
This made Zhang An and Tao Jie very tired. In the past few days, they took the missionaries on board this boat or running on that boat, or they went to the shore to check it out on the spot. If it weren't for the origin of Eunuch Wei, they wouldn't be so active.
There is nothing special to avoid the missionaries, because the current weapons and equipment of the Ming army are obviously behind the armies of Western countries, and they are not afraid of these missionaries "stealing their troops".
Of course, Eunuch Wei still kept a hand in blasting operations and did not publicly give them to these missionaries. Instead, he asked the navy to try a few things like fire dragons coming out of the water that he had brought from Beijing. As a result, the missionaries shook their heads and thought that these things were not real.
Eunuch Wei didn't say anything about this. It's true that flowers are not real, but they can't stand many things.
I bought it for a lot of money, and my father-in-law has also been treated as a surrender. You can't throw these things away. You can't drive them out of the sea and find an opportunity to be used as fireworks.
According to the prior agreement in Yangzhou and subsequent negotiations between the two parties, after the missionaries followed Eunuch Wei to Wusongkou, Eunuch Wei would invest in the selection of a place to build a church for them. In return, the missionaries would use their connections and influence to purchase a batch of firearms for Eunuch Wei from Macau, and hire some professional and technical talents and military instructors.
My father-in-law attaches great importance to this matter.
Because after returning to the SAR, my father-in-law would start to establish the Jiangnan Manufacturing General Administration, so there would inevitably be a lot of technical talents. It would definitely not be enough to rely on my father-in-law's own reserves. The input of technical talents for Western artillery and firearms is very important.
The word "communication" is emphasized by my father-in-law from time to time to time to the missionaries. He hopes that this word can reduce the military influence.
Not without his subordinates, no one has any objections to his father-in-law holding foreign monks, but his father-in-law believes that he can't bear to leave his children and can't trap the wolf. If he doesn't support these foreign monks, it will be difficult to deal with cooperation. You should know that in addition to the help of foreign monks, the maritime trade also requires them to match. In addition, his father-in-law also wants others to help him translate a batch of Western works.
In short, as long as these foreign monks can bring real benefits to the Ming Dynasty and Eunuch Wei, they will not mind their missionary preaching, and even ask them to be the president of the Jesuits in China.
When the fleet passed through the Taizhou River, my father-in-law had some insights and regrets when he looked at Taizhou City at the bow of the ship.
The Zhao family's affairs were resolved quite well. After Wang Yue'e returned to the Zhao family under the escort of her father-in-law's personal guard, her drunken husband was very shocked. After her father-in-law's personal guard showed him a letter, Zhao Jianyuan's face turned pale because of the wine and color.
After that, everything went normal for the Zhao family.
Relying on the tiger skin of the admiral maritime eunuch Wei, Wang Yue'e naturally replaced her husband as the new helmsman of the Zhao family, and immediately sent someone to the Maritime Special Economic Zone to welcome her father-in-law's body back. This action made the Zhao family respect it.
As his wife became more and more authoritative at home, and his backing was hard, Zhao Jianyuan was as if he had become marginalized from the front. He was very depressed and unwilling to accept it, but when he thought that if he had a quarrel, the matter of spending money to kill his father would be exposed, and he would not dare to act rashly.
………
It is difficult to travel on the river to go up. Some areas may also require boaters, but the downward movement is much faster.
After passing the Taizhou River, Eunuch Wei was demonstrating assassination techniques to Japanese officials such as Oshima, Yamamoto, and Anguo Temple. Generals such as Cao Wenyao and Wu Fuming also watched them together.
My father-in-law was idle and tied a long dagger to the musket, and then told the Japanese officials that after the musket was fired, he could use the bayonet at the front to fight against the enemy.
The specific assassination technique is also done by my father-in-law, but it is basically not bad.
"After we go back, we will order craftsmen to build bayonets and the muskets will also be renovated..."
My father-in-law roughly talked about the structure of the "bad knife". He found that except for Li Yanzhao standing in the corner, he took a brush and took notes, the others listened seriously, but my father-in-law was sure that at most half of these guys could remember afterwards, and the rest would definitely not be fully remembered.
As a result, the more he saw Li Yanzhao, the happier he became. He raised his hand to signal the other party to come over and asked him why he took a notebook to record.
"When I replied to my father-in-law, the young man has a bad memory. He was afraid that his father-in-law would not remember everything he said, so he specially used a pen to record it, so he could flip through the notes even if he forgot..." Li Yanzhao looked embarrassed when he spoke.
It is better to copy books than to read a hundred times. My father-in-law remembered the scene when he was studying in his previous life, nodded happily, and said to his subordinates: "You guys, you are all learning from Yan Zhao. Don't think that your head is so good and you can remember everything. This is not enough. You must take more notes. This way, you can't remember them. If you look back, you will know what our family said."
The generals nodded quickly, calling Li Yanzhao troublesome, and asked someone to find a pen and a notebook. Soon, each of them had a small notebook and a brush, and then they all looked like they listened carefully.
However, 90% of them didn't know a few big words, so this note was more uncomfortable than killing them.
Fortunately, what my father-in-law valued is his attitude and his attitude meets the standards. He can discuss anything else.
Although the brushes in these guys made my father-in-law feel a little uncomfortable, his attitude still satisfies me. So he cleared his throat and said, "Since you have memorized them all, let's talk a few more words. This assassination technique, first... second... last... well, a few more points..."
After summarizing more than ten points, Eunuch Wei was also exhausted. He could only think of so much, and only that could teach.
The speed of Mao’s notes was definitely not fast, and my father-in-law was not in a hurry. He waited slowly for his subordinates to write down what he said, then looked at Li Yanzhao with a smile and asked him how he did the pre-collect medicine.
Li Yanzhao replied that according to his father-in-law's instructions, he had already made batches of samples, and after testing, the efficiency was much faster than before. However, because large-scale modifications required a lot of materials and the fleet did not meet the conditions yet, he had reported the specific manufacturing method and purchased enough materials before installing it after the fleet returned to the special zone.
"Is that the case?" The father-in-law turned his head and asked Wang Dali.
Wang Dali nodded quickly: "Yes, General Cao has discussed it with General Cao. After returning, he will start immediately. Be sure to distribute the fixed medicine before the New Year."
"This matter should be fast and not delayed."
The father-in-law nodded and said to Li Yanzhao: "You are doing a good job and we will fulfill our promise. From today on, you will be a householder. Well, you are also very smart. Let's do your job in the staff office in the future."
"Thank you, my father-in-law!"
Li Yanzhao waved the small notebook in his hand up with some excitement. This action made his father-in-law look familiar. He then felt warm in his heart. He laughed, came to the bow of the boat, pointed at the river and said to the subordinates: "Let's hear those Western monks say that the earth is round, that is, if we go east from the Yangtze River and keep walking on the sea, we will return to the Yangtze River for two years."
After saying that, he was afraid that his subordinates would not understand, so he asked Li Yanzhao to give him paper and pen, drew a circular object on the paper, marked his own position, and then spoke the concept of "earth" as simple and popular as possible.
"If you say that, the world is big?"
"Yes, the world is very big. There are not only one in the Ming Dynasty in this world, but there are many countries. Some countries are behind us, while others are stronger than us. So don't be arrogant and think that you are the strongest in this world... Reading thousands of books is not as good as traveling thousands of miles. This principle is not only for scholars to understand, but you must understand it, and you cannot be self-confidence. Remember, the Imperial Army will go abroad and conquer the world in the future!"
Eunuch Wei's fist slashed heavily in the void.
Master Hu buried a seed in Zhenjiang, and what he talked about today is also a seed.
But the two seeds are both in style and bloom, and the flowers they bloom will be completely different.
This was also the first time he told his subordinates about the concept of "world". He wanted his army to know where the enemy was, where they came from, and how they went.
"My father-in-law is wise, we will follow him to conquer the world!"
Xu Dayou felt that he could no longer let that guy Li Yanzhao steal the limelight, so he was the first to shout.
"Well, if you want to conquer the world, you must conquer first..." My father-in-law said it casually, and suddenly realized that he had said something wrong. He quickly closed his mouth and looked at his subordinates with a serious look on his face, "I must conquer myself first!"
"Conquer yourself?"
The generals looked confused.
"To be precise, it is to transform yourself. Why is Yelang arrogant? Because the people there are like corrupt scholars who work behind closed doors, they are very arrogant. They always think that they know everything, but in the end they don't know anything, so they are a joke. So, you must learn all the time, learn new things and new things, and make yourself truly talented people. We don't ask you to understand everything, but you must at least understand a little, do you understand!"
My father-in-law's words are earnest.
"I understand a little, but I don't ask you to be a scattered Mr. Dongguo, but I know what's going on. Only when I know, even if I'm not good at it, can I always ask people for advice? Only when I understand, I won't be bullied. Although our family is a person in the palace, we can know a truth. Learn more and see more, and there will be no mistakes. Our family also gives you the opportunity. As long as people with talent and learning, no matter what their background, our family will value it and give it to their real shortcomings!"
Speaking of this, Li Yanzhao, who took notes seriously: "It's like Yanzhao. He is very good and willing to use his brain. If he can think of something to pretend, you can't think of it. If he can think of his poor memory, he will use a pen to record it. Have you thought of it?"
Li Yanzhao, who was happy in his heart, was so anxious when he heard Eunuch Wei say this. He wanted to flatter him, but he didn't want to offend these Shangguans.
Fortunately, my father-in-law didn't say much, otherwise he would be very nervous.
"If you want to do a good job, you must first sharpen your tools. Whether it is to set up medicine or the military exercises in Zhenjiang, today we talk about the slaughter and slaughter techniques you listen to, to make you better. What is good? Being better than others is better!"
"Okay, let's talk about this today. If you talk too much, you will be very impressed. If you are interested, please read the notes before going to bed at night to see what our family has said today and go through it in your mind."
The father-in-law finally said: "Remember, soldiers who don't want to be officials are not good soldiers, and officials who don't want to make a fortune are not good officials!"
