Daming Yinghua

Chapter 267 Master Zheng, please clean her up with me

Although Zhu Youxiao didn't know his younger brother's plan and implementation, but today his sixth younger sister Zhu Huiyan came to class in disguise, and he agreed.

Just because she felt that Zheng Haizhu was a female teacher and not like a corrupt scholar who was unwilling to take any risks, so she obeyed the request of her younger siblings.

Sure enough, when Master Zheng accompanied Zhu Youjian to the edge of the pond, his expression looked calm as usual.

She smiled and said to Zhu Youxiao: "Princess Six is ​​very sensible, I really want to recruit such a good student."

Zhu Youxiao said "That's natural", and then turned his attention back to the wooden warship.

Zhu Youjian also put the model boat with the pointed bottom into the pool.

Wang Chengen went to replace Zhu Youxiao's sweaty little companion, and shook the seven-wheeled wooden fan brought from the inner court more vigorously.

Two wooden boats with small silk sails rushed out quickly.

Zhu Youjian's sharp-bottomed boat moved faster, but after a while, the hull tilted and fell on the water like a drunkard.

"Two princes, please look," Lu Xiangsheng explained, "this kind of turtle ship in North Korea can only fight in the offshore, because, as the eldest son of the emperor just said, the bottom is like the navel of a female crab. If it is overseas The wind and waves are strong, so it is necessary to replace it with a sharp bottom. It is like the difference between our Daming sand boat and the lucky boat. But the shell of the turtle boat is very different from the lucky boat. If you change it to a sharp bottom, it will turn over like this ship.”

This is actually common sense in ship navigation.

But the Zhu family brothers who have lived in the deep palace for a long time have never even been to Tong County dozens of miles away, and they have never even seen the tank boats on the canal. Listening to Lu Xiangsheng explaining the sea boats at this moment, it is as if they have seen a whole new world. Very novel and interesting.

Zheng Haizhu observed Zhu Youjian from the side, and saw him bowing his sleeves behind his back, staring intently at the model boat and the turbulent water surface, he seemed not to be distracted by thinking about whether the Sixth Princess was hidden, nor worried about " Please put the turtle into the urn", has the turtle crawled over from the Qianqing Palace?

This baby, no matter whether he is too suspicious to be an emperor in adulthood, killing virtuous officials and generals indiscriminately, at least for now, there are quite a few of them who have the potential to be calm in every major event.

Zheng Haizhu stepped forward and took Lu Xiangsheng's words and said: "In fact, in the south, some of the guards from Ningshao to Fujian and Guangdong have written booklets with rich pictures and texts, which are about naval battles. However, the paper is too shallow. I know that this matter must be practiced. As masters, we not only guide students to read books, but also take students to conduct actual tests. Do you two remember that I mentioned to you in the last lecture that the earliest sailors in the universe People, Frankies, because their poultry and livestock are too smelly, and they are not seasoned with the spices of the Eastern Islands, so it is difficult to swallow."

The Zhu family brothers nodded.

"Then let me talk about it in more detail today. 200 years ago, there was a prince named Henry of Frankie. He went out of the palace and opened a navigation school. In addition to learning drawing, handicrafts, geometry and mathematics, the students also learned To go out to sea with the captains, whether sailing or mooring, you must carefully record the sun, shadows, nebulae, tide fluctuations, wind direction changes, sea fish and sea birds, etc...."

While talking, Zheng Haizhu signaled Lu Xiangsheng to pick up the two model boats, while he took the two brothers of the Zhu family and walked into the Wenhua Hall.

After entering the hall, in front of the desk, Zheng Haizhu picked up a brush, set the east, west, north and south, and drew the general directions of the Eurasian continent, the African continent, the American continent, the Pacific Ocean, the Atlantic Ocean, and the Indian Ocean on the white paper.

She took the picture as an example, simplified the complexity, and clarified to the two princes how the Portuguese, Spaniards, Dutch, and the British, who are now ready to move and try to catch up, rely on advanced navigation technology after the beginning of the sailing age. And weapons and equipment, occupy the world and divide up the benefits everywhere.

Zhu Youxiao was surprised: "Master Zheng, it turns out that the Frankies camped in my Daming when Lord Jiajing was here?"

"That's right, whether it's seafarers, sea merchants, pirates, or navies, your Highnesses, the sea route cannot be stopped or blocked. Therefore, Lord Longqing is wise and ordered the moon port to be opened. Otherwise, the nearby Ningbo Shuang Hong Kong Island will become a place where pirates are rampant."

When Zheng Haizhu said this, he drew an arc from Ningbo, Zhejiang on the east coast of Daming, headed north, stopped at a blank space, and drew a caterpillar.

"This caterpillar-like country is the country of Japan. In memorials or pond newspapers, it is called Dongying and Japan. The turtle ships we trial-produced are those warlike barbarians in Japan. When they bullied Korea, the famous Korean general Yi Sun-sin used them A naval battle with the Japanese army. My Ming Dynasty has always been the suzerain of North Korea, and Japan is a tiny country hanging overseas. You two think about it, why did Japan suddenly change from Japanese pirates who only dared to loot houses along the coast to become Have you turned into an army of criminals who swooped in and attacked the city?"

Zheng Haizhu was persuasive, and Zhu Youjian's eyes lit up: "Because the Frankies sold firearms to the Japanese?"

Seeing the master's expression of approval, Zhu Youjian, who had a keen mind, quickly followed up: "When the emperor was doing woodwork, he often taught me that if a craftsman wants to do a good job, he must first sharpen his tools."

This little flattery made Zhu Youxiao feel like a cat whose hair has been patted down, and he felt very irritated.

He also showed the look of "I know this question", and said to Zheng Haizhu: "According to what the master said, there are two kinds of Frankies. My Ming Dynasty allowed the Portuguese Frankies to do business in Haojing, Guangfu, and the Spanish Frankies Ji couldn't compete, and couldn't enter the customs in the Zhangquan area, so he hid in Yuegang to smuggle, and naturally had goods exchanges with the Wa country in the north. Presumably for the sake of smooth shipping, not to mention selling, just giving away some firecrackers and small cannons for nothing, which also made the The Japanese people are not stupid, if they make more and more, they must have the confidence to kill them."

Zheng Haizhu nodded, and moved his pen to the direction of Liaodong: "However, when I was in the Ming Dynasty, how could I sit idly by? Li Rusong, Ma Gui, Wu Weizhong and other brave generals set out from Liaodong to lead the army to aid the dynasty. The Japanese general named Toyotomi Hideyoshi , I finally regretted being my enemy, Daming, and sighed that I was going to turn a hundred thousand Japanese soldiers into overseas ghosts in vain!"

In the War to Resist Japan and Aid Korea, one of the three major expeditions in Wanli, the actual battles between the Ming army and the Korean army were of course not always invincible, and the Japanese army cried out.

But in the stage of enlightenment for the Tian family boys, Zheng Haizhu will only pick up the words that have a positive guiding effect, in order to sow the seeds in the hearts of the two boys not to belittle the generals.

"Master Zheng, why are your hands shaking?" Zhu Youjian asked suddenly.

"Oh," Zheng Haizhu put down the brush, staggered his fingers and moved his wrist, and said calmly, "Master, when I talk about Liaodong, I think of the Battle of Fushun three years ago, and when I talk about Wu Weizhong of the Qi Family Army, I think of him. Grandson, my former good helper, Mr. Wu who cheated the Tartars with me in Liaodong, unfortunately, we are separated forever."

Zhu Youxiao said solemnly: "That Mr. Wu, why did you die?"

"It was my negligence that allowed the tartars to enter my village. Mr. Wu wanted to protect the people in the village, so he rang the bell as a warning, and was shot and killed by the tartars."

"Tartar!" Zhu Youjian said angrily.

A boy of his age has not yet started to change his voice, his voice is still clear and sweet, and the anger gushing from his throat is real and strong.

Zheng Haizhu looked at him: "That's right, that's not right. Tatars are not dogs, but pigs are worse than dogs. When I went to spy on the Tartars' lair, I had already seen how they treated the Han people outside our customs. Later, I collected them myself. The Liao people who fled desperately back from outside the pass suffered many tragic events. Therefore, these Tartars, who are not as good as pigs and dogs, cannot attack our Ming Dynasty like the Japanese invaded North Korea. Therefore, Long Live Lord is so wise. I issued an edict to use the internal money as a salary and send it to Liaodong to reward the frontier troops!"

"Master Zheng is right!"

Suddenly, behind the lattice screen in the main hall, there was an applause.

The teachers and students turned around in surprise, and it was Zhu Changluo, who was wearing a dragon robe, pacing out.

From the prince to the courtiers, they all subconsciously bowed and saluted in an instant, calling Long Live Lord.

But within a few breaths, they could all discern that behind the emperor's dragon robe, there were several skirts and several pairs of shoes.

"Miss Li..."

"Guest mama..."

"My lord..."

Zhu Youxiao and Zhu Youjian shouted in panic, but Zheng Haizhu beside them was more excited than when he was preparing.

Zhu Changluo is here too?

It must be that when Ke Yinyue went to Qianqing Palace to file a complaint, Xi Li forcefully dragged the emperor along.

Zheng Haizhu thought in his heart, that would be great, the left and right are tearing up their faces, are they afraid that it will become a big one?

It's even better if the emperor is here, so as not to listen to others, and the message will be discounted.

"Zheng, salute to Empress Li!"

Wang An scolded.

In the past few days, Zhu Changluo's health was not good, Wang An assigned Cao Huachun and other cronies to watch over the work of the supervisor of ceremonies, and he himself guarded Zhu Changluo every step of the way.

Therefore, at noon today, Ke Yinyue rushed from Ciqing Palace to Qianqing Palace to report that Wang An was also there when the sixth princess was deceived by Zheng Shi to Wenhua Palace.

Wang An, kept in the dark, was naturally terrified.

Why does this Zheng family always make some fools while taking advantage of it.

At this moment, Wang An's nervous sternness was not pretended, but he was called "Xi Li Niangniang" by the whole palace to show that Xi Li Xuan, who was different from Zhu Youjian's adoptive mother and benevolent Dong Li Xuan, was full of embarrassment. His hostility was even more undisguised.

She stared at Zheng Haizhu who was standing behind the table and saluted to herself a foot away.

As Mammy Ke said, she is not young, but she still has a little bit of beauty left.

This Zheng family, she had already heard the name from the steward of Huangzhuang, and recently listened to Ke Yinyue's arrangements.

How could such a bitch fall out of thin air!

It's okay to talk nonsense in front of ordinary people in Tongxian Wharf, so that her Li family can't get any land. Anyway, there are more people who scold Zheng Guifei hard to hear than her Xili Niangniang.

But she just walked into the palace, what's the matter?

Mammy Ke said that the first time she came to the Wenhua Hall to give lectures, even though she planned to go to the Three Great Halls to meet her, she was forced to refuse after being discovered by the lecturers of the Sixth Section Corridor.

How?The humble heart is not dead, and she is going to please the sixth princess. She wants to be the adoptive mother of the sixth princess and raise her, so she climbs from the Wenhua Palace into the Qianqing Palace?
My husband, the son of heaven, just now praised this woman surnamed Zheng for her good words?

What did she say, worthy of clapping the palms of the Long Live Lord?

Li Xuan waiter was about to launch an attack, but Zhu Changluo said to his two sons after saying "Excuse me", "You Master Zheng, what you said about the internal money is an edict issued by me, but in fact, it follows the late emperor's edict. The late emperor said in the edict It is said in the book that the Eastern Division is short of pay, so it is advisable to pay more internal funds to help the military. The soldiers who died in battle will be quickly added to the record. How dare I not obey it? How can I not obey it? Master Zheng also took history as a mirror and told you to know it in detail. My Imperial Academy and Wenhua Hall are indeed full of righteousness!"

The emperor's words moved his face, and Li Xuan's waiter hurriedly moved his mouth: "Long live, where is the sixth princess?"

Zhu Changluo was taken aback for a moment, then came back to his senses, glanced at the Wenhua Palace, and stared at the eunuch accompanying his two sons for a moment, then looked back at Zheng Haizhu: "Master Zheng, you have allowed the sixth princess to come to Wenhua Palace too." Huadian?"

Zheng Haizhu glanced at Zhu Youxiao, who had changed his face in an instant, stepped forward, and replied: "Long live, I don't quite understand what happened. Today, when I entered the Wenhua Palace, I only saw the eldest son and fifth son of the emperor." .”

"Impossible!" Li Xuan waiter interrupted her.

Li Xuan, who was used to being domineering in front of the emperor's husband, didn't bother to care about the royal demeanor, so he carried a bloated sixteen-panel skirt and hurried to the back of the Bogu shelf on the side of the Wenhua Hall to see if there was someone hiding.

"Li Niangniang, Li Niangniang calm down, servants come."

Ke Yinyue's soft and gentle voice sounded.

In fact, after she entered the main hall, her eyes were swollen everywhere, and the more swollen she felt, the more she felt that something was wrong.

Zhu Huiyan and the little maid were not there.

No, my cronies in Ciqing Palace clearly said that these two little girls slipped out following Zhu Youjian and Wang Chengen's buttocks.

Went to the latrine?Or playing outside the hall?
Ke Yinyue was looking anxiously at the pool under the tree outside the main hall, and Sun Chengzong, who was dressed in a green-blue fifth-rank official robe, hurried over from the direction of the cabinet and the imperial court in the south.

Before a stick of incense, the Son of Heaven and others passed through the Wenzhao Pavilion and suddenly appeared at the small east gate of the Wenhua Palace, there was a clever scribe who went to the south to look for Sun Chengzong.

The Long Live Lord refused to let the newspaper be sung, the prince’s face was ashen, and that Li Niangniang, who was more like an ancestor than the emperor, hated Yoyo and threw down a sentence "Your Wenhua Palace has done a good thing, let the princess see the foreign ministers", such a battle, the book The officials dared to entrust the big ones, so they went to report to Sun Chengzong like a rabbit.

Sun Chengzong was sweating from running, and he took a look into the hall from not far away. Sure enough, there were things that should be there, and things that shouldn't be there were also there.

He didn't dare to face the concubines in the harem at close range, so he stepped back on the steps and said loudly: "My minister, Sun Chengzong, pays homage to His Majesty."

"Master Sun, come in and talk." Zhu Changluo's tone was calm and gentle.

Sun Chengzong walked into the palace according to his words, and Li Xuanshi stood by the Bogu stand, and said like a firecracker: "Sun Hanlin, how did you and the Ministry of Rites become courtiers? What kind of prince and master did you invite, eh? Mrs. Zheng brought this Lu, what kind of juren did Lu have? Come in and talk about it once or twice, and then trick the sixth princess out to meet her. What's the matter? I can't win the Jinshi, and I want to be a son-in-law?"

When Li Xuan said the last sentence, his two eyes, like knives, turned from Sun Chengzong to Lu Xiangsheng who was retreating in the corner of the hall.

Sun Chengzong heard a black line on his forehead, but at the same time he was suspicious.

How could Mrs. Zheng be stupid enough to use such a brain? Could it be that she was framed again like before the Three Great Halls last time?
