My life skills in Daming Liver

Su Ze sent away Wang Daokun, a special guest.

Wang Daokun did not reveal his identity in Nanping County, but left Nanping County immediately, and then went to Tingzhou Mansion next door with a guard of honor.

Inspector Wang seemed to be in a good mood. He returned to Fuzhou City to prepare for the provincial examination without dismissing any student in Tingzhou Prefecture.

The time came to May in the thirty-fourth year of Jiajing.

Those students from prefectures and counties who were not patrolled by Wang Daokun secretly rejoiced, and there were also regrets like Huang Shixing, who lost a chance to show off.

Zhang Sijing's letter to Wang Daokun fell into disrepair, but Zhang Sijing still met with the students of the academy and the prefectural school in the "Shabby Pavilion" to talk about the real things.

Especially Fang Wanghai, who has already been promoted, was even reprimanded as a traitor. Although Zhang Sijing did not speak ill of Fang Wanghai in public, those flattering students praised him instead, saying that he was a gentleman and refused to attack the same year. .

The newly-appointed prefect of Yanping has not arrived for a long time, and the prefectural and county government offices maintain a delicate balance, maintaining a state where well water does not interfere with river water.

Su Ze sent people to the tea gardens in Mount Wuyi to let them continue to make black tea and collect tea from tea garden owners who were willing to make black tea.

The weather this year is really not good, and many tea leaves have no time to dry. Since Su Ze's tea garden harvests tea and saves manpower for transporting it to towns down the mountain, there are gradually more tea gardens making black tea.

However, this year's tea production season is coming to an end, the weather is getting hotter, and spring is coming to an end, and the young leaves of the next tea trees can no longer be pinched.

Su Ze turned a shop he bought from the Cai family into a filling workshop. The wooden boxes and ceramic tea pots he ordered from the county were delivered here, and then they were filled with black tea and sealed, and then sent to Changning Wei transported to Yuegang for sale.

Su Ze couldn't help but feel that the tea trade is indeed a huge profit. Just such a tea garden and the black tea purchased sporadically earned him 600 taels of silver. You know, this money can buy 20 francs The machine gun is gone, and it would be nearly 600 shots if replaced with a bird gun.

However, it is clear that the entire Portuguese does not have so many guns in the Far East. Diogo, the general representative of the Far East, immediately stated that he would immediately send a ship to Malacca and order more bird guns.

However, this also exposed the information that the Portuguese had established a foundry in Malacca to manufacture guns.

Sure enough, from Father Pierre's mouth, the Portuguese had already recruited Chinese craftsmen in Malacca to make cannons, but for a long time, the cannons made by the Cannon Factory were not up to standard, and only the bird guns were barely usable.

A few years ago, the Governor of the Far East in Goa replaced the director of firearms. In recent years, the Vulcan gun in Malacca has gradually become usable.

However, at present, most of the Japanese are ordering, and the Portuguese have not been able to open the Ming market.

It turned out to be a scam, so it's no wonder that Diogo agreed so easily.

Su Ze hurriedly wrote to Lin Mojun again. When buying a cannon, these Portuguese must test the cannon in person. They must not let their own people to test the cannon. If the chamber explodes, they must not pay for it.

On the fourth day of May, the day before the Duanyang Festival, Su Ze bought a pot of realgar wine from the street and returned to the editorial department of "Surprise".

Tomorrow, the Dragon Boat Festival is already a very grand festival. Customs such as drinking realgar wine, eating zongzi, and dragon boat racing have already formed. Scholars will go out of the city to climb mountains together to pray to Qu Yuan for a smooth exam.

Lin Qingcai went back to the clan for the festival, Chen Chaoyuan brought zongzi, Su Ze gave him realgar wine, and made an appointment to go out of the city tomorrow to climb a mountain.

"By the way, Brother Ru Lin has two of your letters, which are already on your desk."

Su Ze nodded. The Dragon Boat Festival is only a one-day holiday, and he is not planning to go back to Changningwei for the festival. He invites a few classmates from the county school to climb up to celebrate, and then takes advantage of the holiday to take a look at his own property. Return to Changningwei at the end.

Back in the house, Su Ze saw two letters on the desk.

The first letter was rather ostentatious, and Su Ze saw that it was from Lin Mojun.

Now the two communicate very frequently, and they will exchange letters every few days. The last letter was on May 1st.

Su Ze is naturally also happy to communicate with Lin Mojun. Through this method, he can understand the dynamics of the Changning Guard, and he can also discuss the art of war with Lin Mojun.

Opening the envelope, there were two pieces of letter paper inside. When I opened it, it turned out that Yu Dayou had written again.

Today's date is the fourth day of May, and Yu Dayou's letter was written on the ninth day of April, that is, a month ago.

The future military god of the Ming Dynasty seemed to regard the Lin family as a tree hole, and the words in the letter became more and more casual.

It turned out that Yu Dayou was defeated again, and he was demoted again.

Su Ze couldn't help feeling that if this fight continued, Yu Dayou might even lose his hereditary position of a hundred households.

After reading the letter soon, Su Ze was also very speechless. He could only feel that Yu Dayou would be defeated even if Han Xin was reborn.

This time the defeat took place in Caojing. You can tell from the name that this is a channel for water transportation, and it is a place that must be contested by military strategists.

Yu Dayou's headquarters was severely damaged, so Zhang Jing allocated some Guangxi wolf soldiers to him.

The so-called wolf soldiers are private soldiers belonging to the Zhuang and Yao chieftains in Guangxi. They were hired by the Ming court to fight.

These wolf soldiers are wild and difficult to tame, and their appearance is also different from that of the Central Plains people. They also like to wear weird masks, with tattoos on their shirtless upper bodies, so the Japanese pirates were very afraid of wolf soldiers at first.

But in Yu Dayou's letter, these wolf soldiers were sprayed as useless.

They don't obey military discipline and only know how to ask for rewards. In Yu Dayou's view, this is not an elite at all, but a group of paper tigers.

It's still the kind of bluffing externally, and the kind that is fierce and brutal internally.

Yu Dayou didn't intend to lead these wolf soldiers into battle at first, but Zhang Jing is in a very bad situation now, and even Qingliu's censor has begun to impeach him. He urgently needs a victory to prove himself, so he wrote many times asking Yu Dayou to lead the battle. The wolf soldiers went out to fight.

Yu Dayou had no choice but to lead two thousand wolf soldiers out of Caojing, preparing to attack the Japanese pirates entrenched in Chuansha and Tuolin.

At the beginning, Yu Dayou did win some small victories, and the generals of these wolf soldiers drifted away. Because of the high reward Zhang Jing offered before leaving the station, they all demanded to pursue the Japanese pirates.

Yu Dayou originally wanted to fight steadily, but was urged by these wolf soldiers to lead his troops out of Caojing, but was ambushed by the Japanese coalition forces.

Thousands of wolf soldiers died in this battle, and Yu Dayou only led the soldiers and horses of his headquarters to break out of the encirclement.

And the remaining wolf soldiers did not return to the army, and they simply became Japanese pirates and began to plunder the people of Zhejiang.

Seeing this, Su Ze could only sigh. For the army, discipline is far more than personal blood.

After entering the age of firearms, discipline is combat effectiveness, and this is also the hotbed for the birth of full-time soldiers.

Well-trained veterans are more lethal than young and brave recruits on the battlefield. Professional soldiers have also promoted the progress of military technology and military doctrine, which led to the rapid development of military doctrine in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries.

Su Ze took it as a warning and wrote down in his notes that "sending untrained soldiers to the battlefield is murder."

But counting the days, the day of Da Ming's counterattack is coming soon.

Zhang Jing can no longer afford to lose, and will definitely organize a big battle as soon as possible to prove himself.

This is also the reason why Yu Dayou was defeated repeatedly, but he was still not dismissed, and he was allowed to continue to lead the army.

Even Hu Zongxian, the governor of Zhejiang, can't continue to hold back Zhang Jing at this time.

If the situation in Zhejiang continues to deteriorate, neither Qingliu nor Yandang will have any good fruit to eat.

The other letter was naturally from Lin Mojun, and what Lin Mojun sent was the latest news from the General Directorate of Fujian Province.

Sure enough, as Su Ze had expected, the balance in Fujian was quickly broken.

On the 20th of last month, Bao Xiangxian, the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, ordered that Guangdong Beiwa Commander Wang Bo supervise the army to crusade against the pirates in the Guangdong sea.

This time, Guangdong Haibeiwa put the general manager to the best of his ability, and spent a lot of money to hire Portuguese who docked in Macau to help.

In this battle, more than 1,200 people including Xu Quan, the leader of the Japanese pirates in the Guangdong area, were killed, and more than 350 people were recruited.

Encouraged by his colleagues in Guangdong, Fujian's chief general couldn't sit still anymore, and ordered the guards to prepare for war, and also to expel the "deer king" who was criss-crossing the sea in Fujian.

After receiving the news, Lin Mojun immediately followed Su Ze's instructions, hid the Wuwan in the dock, and evacuated the immigrants near the port of Dong'ao Island.

But what happened next was beyond Lin Mojun's comprehension.

Because Lin Mojun no longer pretended to be the King of Deer to patrol the sea, the number of coastal guard ships cruising out to sea increased, and soon five guards reported to them, and they fought to expel the King of Deer by themselves.

Lin Mojun:? ?

Although Lin Mojun no longer plays the role of King Deer these days, she will "occasionally" drive the warships of the guard to "pass by" Dong'ao Island, but she has never seen any warship of Ming Dynasty dare to approach Dong'ao Island.

Why did you expel King Deer?

The most exaggerated thing is the Dinghai Shouyu Qianhu Office in Fuzhou Prefecture. These insects are said to have bought a Japanese boat from Yuegang and towed it back to the wharf of Fuzhou Prefecture. They said that they sunk the flagship of the Japanese pirates by themselves. Wa country.

Relying on a broken ship, a few flags of Japanese pirates, and a few tattered Japanese knives, the Yamen of Fujian Dusi and the General Director of Beiwa Commander went so far as to ask for credit for Dinghaiwei and report to the Ministry of War.

Seeing this result, Su Ze was even more speechless. He still overestimated the moral bottom line of these coastal guards in Fujian.

But this saves trouble. It seems that these guards don't have the courage to go to Dong'ao Island to check whether the "Deer King" has withdrawn.

It's just that the protection fee business can't be done.

However, Fujian Coastal Guards fabricated military exploits regardless of the cost, and Guangdong and Guangxi also made a sudden effort, and even hired Portuguese to fight against the Japanese, which made Su Ze smell unusual.

The Japanese invasion was the most serious in Jiangnan, Zhejiang, Fujian and Guangdong.

Now both Fujian and Guangdong have achieved results, and the Japanese pirates at sea have been wiped out.

Why did the Jiangnan and Zhejiang regions, where the imperial court invested the most, transferred the most generals and soldiers, and spent the most money, fail to make any contribution and instead suffer defeat?

What a deep calculation!

Sure enough, Zhang Jing, the governor of Zhejiang, who can only fight military battles and can't make political accounts, will be replaced by Hu Zongxian. Emperor Jiajing has already lost patience with him, and if he makes meritorious service later, he will be convicted.

The imperial power under the autocratic system is the most impatient creature in the world.

When your every wish is granted,

Anything you say casually will be taken as an imperial decree,

Any mistakes you make will be covered up for you,

People will lose their reverence for objective laws, thinking that all difficulties can be overcome, and that failure to overcome is the problem of the people below.

Not only Jiajing, but also his grandson, and his grandson's grandson.

It is delusional to think that an imperial decree can immediately change the status quo, any war can be settled in one battle, and any policy can have immediate results.

The subordinates can only create enthusiasm and use "it's not a small thing, it's a good situation" to fool the superiors.

Su Ze sighed, Zhang Jing's death was already doomed the moment the Japanese pirates in Guangdong, Guangxi and Fujian were pacified.

Su Ze took up a pen and wrote back to Lin Mojun, asking her to continue to pay attention to the movements of Dong'ao Island, not to let the officers and soldiers land on the island, and temporarily hide the skin of King Deer, quietly waiting for the next opportunity when the water is muddy.

Su Ze opened another letter. This letter was written in elegant handwriting, and it was written on high-quality letter paper. It was signed on the cover by Mrs. Li who had just moved back to Quanzhou.

Su Ze smiled slightly, how could Mrs. Li write a letter to herself, and sure enough, she saw the familiar handwriting, it was Fang Ruolan's letter to herself.

A few days ago, Su Ze wrote a greeting letter to Mrs. Li, but it should have not been delivered to Quanzhou Mansion after some calculations. The date on this letter should be that Miss Fang just moved to Quanzhou Mansion, so she wrote to Su Ze Believe it.

It has to be said that Miss Fang is a person with a very zest for life.

What she talked about in her mind were some trivial things in life, such as when she moved back to the old house to tidy up the old house, she found that a citrus tree that she planted with her uncle when she was young had grown up, and she recalled some childhood memories.

She also found a new pastry recipe from her uncle's collection, and she described the process of making pastry with orange peel, which was also quite lively and interesting.

Of course, not everything in the letter was happy. Fang Ruolan also complained about her mother's miserable experience of forcing her to study as a female worker.

Thinking of Lan Zhihui's Miss Fang, who spent a long time embroidering a mandarin duck into a chicken, Su Ze also smiled.

In addition to these interesting trifles in life, Miss Fang also brought a piece of news.

Her uncle was a doctor at Nanjing Guozijian. In a letter sent by her uncle a few days ago, she talked about the affairs of the court.

"Bingke gave Yin Zhengmao a request to mint coins, and the Ministry of Households reconsidered. Copper coins can be minted in Yunnan, Guangdong, Guangxi, Shandong, Fujian and other provinces where copper is produced."

Fujian is going to cast copper coins?

Fang Ruolan said that her uncle reminded Mrs. Li in a letter to exchange the family's copper coins for silver as soon as possible, and Fujian's money law will be chaotic.

Fang Ruolan couldn't figure out why the imperial court wanted to mint copper coins in Fujian, but the money law would be chaotic, so she wrote to Su Ze for advice.

Su Ze thought for a while, picked up a pen and began to write a letter.
