Ming Zuo

Chapter 386 Arrangement
In order to deal with Sun Yuanhua and Wang Zheng, Zuo Menggeng played a trick.

Taking advantage of the time difference and poor information, the families of Sun Yuanhua and Wang Zheng were brought to Shandong.

It doesn't matter if you do this. Originally, it was only the responsibility of Sun Yuanhua and Wang Zheng. Now their family members are also in the crotch of Huang Ni, and it is unclear.

The imperial court must think that their whole family fled in fear of crime, and there may be some tricks behind it.

Afterwards, Haichau documents became popular in the world. As long as the two families left Shandong, without the protection of Zuo Menggeng, it would definitely be a dead end.

No matter how loyal Sun Yuanhua and Wang Zheng were, they would not be able to sit back and watch the family suffer.

They did not know that in the original history, only Sun Yuanhua was sentenced to death, and Wang Zheng was even rescued and acquitted.

Now, they can only stay here with Zuo Menggeng.

But seeing that Sun Yuanhua and Wang Zheng were rescued by Zuo Menggeng, another person was dumbfounded.

That is Zhang Tao.

He was also one of the officials who were sent back to the capital, but now Zuo Menggeng has picked up Sun Yuanhua and Wang Zheng's family. What about his own family?

After listening to it for so long, he also remembered it.

Once the three of them return to the capital, it will definitely be a dead end.

Zhang Tao didn't want to die, and his thoughts of turning to Zuo Menggeng were far more enjoyable than Sun Yuanhua and Wang Zheng.

He knelt down in front of Zuo Menggeng, no matter whether he was a general soldier or not, he tried his best to flatter and please.

"Thank you for saving your life, General. From now on, Zhang Tao will be the general's lackey, no matter what he does, no regrets or regrets."

Zuo Menggeng raised his foot and kicked him a somersault, his voice was particularly cold.

"You too?"

Immediately, several soldiers stepped forward and held Zhang Tao firmly, not allowing him to struggle.

Zhang Tao was terrified.

Why are people treated differently?

"General, General Zuo, the last general... The last general is loyal to take refuge!"

Seeing that Zuo Menggeng didn't seem to want to let Zhang Tao go, Sun Yuanhua couldn't bear it and stepped forward to persuade him.

"Zhongheng, Zhang Zongrong has always been a capable general under the old man's command. Please take the old man's face and spare him."

Zuo Menggeng was unmoved, pointed at Zhang Tao, and said sternly, "Uncle, how confused you are. Do you know that you are being played around by this Zhang Tao."

Sun Yuanhua was stunned, as if he really didn't know what was going on.

Zuo Menggeng turned his head to stare at Zhang Tao, and asked, "Zhang Tao, last September, you were ordered by Uncle Sun to lead an army with Kong Youde and others to reinforce the Daling River by sea, and return soon. I ask you, How did you say it?"

In order to survive, Zhang Tao hurriedly shouted: "Lord Zhongcheng, you are aware of this matter. The last commander was waiting for a storm at sea, the ship was severely damaged, and the Sancha River mouth was frozen, so it was impossible to land, so he had to return it. Yes."

Sun Yuanhua nodded.

"Indeed, Zhongheng is only afraid of a misunderstanding."

Zuo Menggeng sneered, killing intent.

"Zhang Tao, you are still lying and deceiving. The entire September in Shandong has never encountered a storm, and the Sancha River estuary has not frozen. You are greedy for life and afraid of death, and you dare not go to the battlefield, so you conspired with Kong Youde to deceive Uncle Sun. Guilty, how can I forgive you?"

Zhang Tao struggled hard.

"General Mingjian, the sea is different from the land, how can you generalize?"

Sun Yuanhua and Wang Zheng also looked over, and they agreed with what Zhang Tao said.

Zuo Menggeng was very firm.

"Zhang Tao, you won't give up until you reach the Yellow River. I'll let you die today so that you can know what the scientific way is."

He said sincerely to Sun Yuanhua: "Uncle does not know, the storms that come from summer and autumn mostly originate in the southeast sea, travel north all the way, and involve all over the country. Whether there is a storm in the north sea, it must pass through Shandong. reason."

The people of later generations, who knew a little about typhoons, knew the truth. At this time, Zuo Menggeng said it, which opened the eyes of Sun Yuanhua and Wang Zheng.

Especially Sun Yuanhua, who is from Songjiang Prefecture, has a deeper understanding of storms.

Indeed, as Zuo Menggeng said, the storm originated from the southeast sea.

He recalled carefully that in September last year, the whole of Shandong was really never hit by a storm.That is to say, Zhang Tao's so-called remarks about encountering a storm at sea are obviously lying.

What made Sun Yuanhua even more unacceptable was that Zhang Tao actually joined forces with Kong Youde to deceive him.

"Zhongrong Zhang, you...you are very good."

Zhang Tao's face was pale, and he did not expect that Zuo Menggeng could see through his seamless speech so easily.

He knew immediately that he was doomed.

He suddenly turned grim and exclaimed.

"You traitors, you can't die. I'm going to the capital to report you...I..."

Zuo Menggeng was very displeased by the croaking noise. He waved his hand, and two soldiers stepped forward, holding up their crossbows and shooting at Zhang Tao's chest.

Zhang Tao hooted a few times, stared unwillingly, and fell to the ground.

Seeing Zuo Menggeng kill Zhang Tao so simply and neatly, Sun Yuanhua and Wang Zheng both showed their unbearable expressions.

"Uncle must never save a woman's kindness. Once this person escapes, the catastrophe will not be far away."

Well, he again put the reason for killing Zhang Tao on Sun Yuanhua's head.

Because Zuo Menggeng found out that Sun Yuanhua was indeed a gentleman.In this case, of course, a gentleman can deceive him.

Why did Sun Yuanhua make so many mistakes during the Wuqiao Mutiny?

It was because Kong Youde, Geng Zhongming, and others fooled him several times, and he all entered the Internet one after another.

For such a person, some means are still necessary.

At this point, Sun Yuanhua and Wang Zhengwan can no longer go to the capital.

Regarding the follow-up, Zuo Menggeng's remarks were also very rough.

What else, the two of them disappeared.

Now that the army is in chaos, it is normal to encounter bandits on the way to the capital.

In this regard, Sun Yuanhua and Wang Zheng had no choice but to accept it.

Zuo Menggeng escorted the two back to Linqing.

Sun Yuanhua met Xu Guangqi here.

"Teacher, the students have failed your expectations and caused a catastrophic disaster. The tired teacher is worried and deserves death."

Sun Yuanhua knelt in front of Xu Guangqi and burst into tears.Especially seeing Xu Guangqi's old-fashioned appearance, it is even more sad.

He did not know that in the original history he was sentenced to capital punishment, and Zhou Yanru went to find Xu Guangqi in order to save him.

However, at that time, Xu Guangqi was terminally ill, and the Xu family was too busy to take care of themselves, and there was nothing they could do.

But now Xu Guangqi resigned from his official position early and hid in Linqing to do what he liked freely, and his health was much better.

He pulled Sun Yuanhua up from the ground, sighing endlessly.

"When the old man introduced you to the teaching, I originally wanted to learn more Westerners' magical skills to help me fight the chaos and pacify the prisoners. Now it seems that although the guns are good, the rulers can't follow the sky and respond to others, and they are also self-defeating. Dao. Your nature likes to study and sparse camps, and stepping into the officialdom is a disaster rather than a blessing. It is a blessing that Zhongheng has brought you here."

After coming to Linqing, Xu Guangqi found out that his grandson-in-law was going to rebel.

At first, the old man was really frightened, and he wanted to advise him.

But Zuo Menggeng hadn't seen it yet. After discussions with Liu Zongzhou, Hou Xun, Li Banghua and others, Xu Guangqi found out that this was not Zuo Menggeng's ambition alone.

Afterwards, Xu Guangqi wandered around, seeing the schools that were blooming everywhere, the factories that were booming, the wealthy local people, and the strength of the new army.

Especially the artillery equipped by the new army made Xu Guangqi feel ashamed.

After learning that it was all from Zuo Menggeng, Xu Guangqi couldn't help but wonder if it was really necessary for him to try his best to introduce Portuguese artillery technology all his life?

After learning the strength of the new army and Zuo Menggeng's layout from Xu Ruolin's mouth, Xu Guangqi understood that this was a chariot that could no longer be turned back.

This chariot has already carried too many people, and if it overturns, it will cause more harm than the civil unrest in the northwest and the eastern prisoners outside the customs.

Since the bow has not turned back, the old man has seen the wind and rain of a lifetime, and quickly accepted all this peacefully.

Today's Xu Guangqi, under Zuo Menggeng's compulsion, no longer engages in heavy work.

Zuo Menggeng arranged for him five assistants to help the old man start his academic summary of his life.

Just sorting them all out is a wealth of shocking past and present.

Seeing that his students had also escaped the barriers of the imperial court, Xu Guangqi was only happy.

Seeing the teacher's attitude, Sun Yuanhua's heart finally calmed down a little.

Looking back to meet Wang Zheng again, I found that the old friend's mentality has also changed a little.

Wang Zheng went to see Deng Yuhan and Luo Yagu, and learned everything here from their mouths, and couldn't help but be moved.

In the land of Daming, there is still such a hot land that attaches great importance to science and craftsmanship, and it is simply born for people like him.

"Uncle, you have made a lot of achievements in firearms. What my nephew means is that I would like to invite you to work in the arsenal. Duke Bi Dongjiao is there. You two are world leaders. I believe you can be friends with each other."

This arrangement made Sun Yuanhua very happy.

He has long been envious of the new army's weapons, but he has never been able to understand it.Now he can join in and take a closer look, finally satisfying his curiosity.

Zuo Menggeng looked at Wang Zheng again.

"Mr. Kui Xin, you helped us a lot when you translated and annotated the "Far West Qiqi Tushu". However, after checking it, we found that some of the contents can be listed separately for special research. You are the author of this book, I also ask you to work harder."

Most of the content of "Far West Qiqi Tushuo" comes from three books: "The General Theory of Mathematics" by the Dutch mathematician and engineer Stephen, "The Encyclopedia of Mining and Metallurgy" by the German mining and metallurgical expert George Bauer, and the Italian Engineering Technician's "On Various Craft Machinery".

Later generations will understand that these are completely independent three disciplines.

Although they can be fused together to form an encyclopedia, it is far better to separate them and study them as works of various disciplines.

And Zuo Menggeng's arrangement was really too much for Wang Zheng's appetite, which made him feel very happy.

"Prepare a quiet room for the old man, and it will not disgrace the mission."
