After the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the excitement in Hailing City slowly cooled down.
Xu He went to make tea, and gave some rice to Lao Zhengtou and the old people in the salt field. After staying for two days, he was ready to go back to Yangzhou.
But he didn't expect that just when he was going to make tea, three letters came from Beijing, two letters were for him and one was for his mother Xie.
Xu He felt a little strange when he heard that there were letters from his mother, but he opened his own two letters first.
One of them was sent by Xu Song.
The letter said that he had received a letter from Xu He and that he was in good health except for the recurring cough.
The second thing was to tell him that he would help Xu Dai handle family affairs at home. He also sent the Xu family's family motto written by himself with the letter, and asked Xu He to have someone carve it into a wooden plaque and hang it in front of the clan school and ancestral hall. .
Xu He opened Xu Song's handwritten family motto and saw that he had written a lot of regular script with great skill.
There is no hatred, big or small, just fear of sadness. Kindness is like helping someone in an emergency, a mustard of gold.
You need to be smart on the inside, but you need to be stupid on the outside. If your intelligence is used up, you will cause trouble and invite disaster.
I have experienced it in my own family, so listen to what others say, the authorities are confused, and the bystanders know clearly.
In a husband's life, his integrity is the most important thing. He must never ask for help. Life or death depends on his fate.
You need sweetness before bitterness, you need ease before work, you have to be able to bend down before you can jump high.
After a hundred days, reflect on yourself at night. If it is evil, you should be shocked, if it is good, you should be happy.
When others praise me for being humble, it adds to my beauty; when I boast about my own defeat, it adds to my ruin.
Harm and benefit follow each other, blessing and misfortune depend on each other, they are just ordinary and stable to the end.
He talks too much when he is angry, he talks too much when he is happy, he is anxious for a while, and then he feels ashamed.
In this world, it is really difficult to protect yourself. If you are careful, you can protect yourself for a hundred years.
Admiring the noble and ashamed of the poor, being in the same group of people with interests and interests, being surprised and horrified, and lacking in knowledge.
After reading the family motto written by his uncle's father, Xu He read it several times again.
These words are not profound, but each word is the condensation of his decades of life wisdom.
Some words he said were for the clan members, and some words were for the younger generations.
But some words are not advice to myself.
Especially this sentence [Be smart on the inside, be stupid on the outside, use your wisdom to show off, and cause trouble and bring disaster].
After reading this, Xu He suddenly broke out in a thin layer of sweat.
Yes, since time traveling, he has stood out everywhere and made various appearances in front of people.
There is no denying that many of these are the goods in his stomach, but aren't many of them also things that future generations have summarized from the wisdom of their predecessors?
For example, when scholars read "Ode of Lime", which is now being praised by scholars, they will give a thumbs up and praise him by saying that "Hailing Xu He keeps his integrity and uprightness. If he becomes an official in the future, he will be a wise minister."
Another example is the many eight-part essays along the way, especially the "Shi Jia Zhai Collected Works", in which many of the ideas for solving the topic were modified from the articles written by the great writers in the Ming and Qing dynasties in my memory.
It's fine if others don't know.
We know our own affairs best. If we indulge in these false reputations, wouldn’t it be deceiving others?
Therefore, the uncle's family motto was sent very timely. This family motto was like a wake-up call, telling him that it is difficult to stay safe in this world, and only by being careful can he survive for a hundred years.
After reading it, Xu He secretly made up his mind.
If there are no special circumstances after returning to school, then stay in seclusion and concentrate on your studies.
I definitely won’t go to literary conferences or anything like that.
Everyone has different ambitions. If you just want to stay in Yangzhou for the rest of your life, then taking the opportunity to make more friends like the Ma brothers is still reasonable, but do you really want to stay in Yangzhou for the rest of your life?
Thinking of this, he unfolded the letter and continued reading.
The third thing Xu Song said was that Xie Kun had arrived in the capital and had helped him deliver the "Petroleum Policy" to the palace years ago. It is said that Emperor Zhizheng was generally quite satisfied with Xu Song's method of pacifying the Japanese. I also plan to give it a try.
Therefore, my eldest uncle had already asked Jiu Qing to discuss the matter of recruiting troops a year ago.
However, Xu Song did not write about lifting the maritime ban in his letter. He probably knew that there were many difficulties and was preparing to take action slowly.
At the end of the letter, Xu Song specifically mentioned Qi Jiguang.
"Your uncle's student Qi, although he is still young, is proficient in the art of war and battle formations, which impressed me even more. He offered to go to Zhejiang to train troops. If he could not go to his hereditary military position, but would endure hardships, Will he be a great talent in the future?"
Needless to say, the uncle's eyes were quite vicious, and he actually took a liking to Qi Jiguang.
Qi Jiguang was even given a prominent position in the new army, and he could be regarded as being trained as a grassroots officer.
This time Zhejiang's newly recruited troops were Tuanyong recruited from Jinyun, Suichang, Songyang, Yunhe counties in Chuzhou.
Originally they were recruited by Jiang Hao, the prefect of Chuzhou, to protect the country and the people. However, these Chuzhou soldiers were very brave and practiced mountain warfare. Last year, they cooperated with Lu Yun from the flanks and attracted many of the main Japanese pirates. One battle attracted Xie Kun's Notice.
This time Tuanyong was used to organize and train the new army. After discussion, Xu Song and Xie Kun both believed that they must succeed in one battle.
Therefore, he was specially promoted to Shiyin, the commander of Qianshi in the Fujian capital, and Lu Bo, a member of the Chuzhou Guards, to serve as a general in the new army.
Lu Boring's original establishment belonged to the Zhejiang-Fujian Coast Guard Yamen and was controlled by the Zhejiang governor.
When Lu Yun was the governor of the southeast, the soldiers of the guard station were defeated when they encountered bandits. Only the soldiers of Chuzhou Guard could fight against the Japanese pirates.
After Lu Yunqizhi inquired about it, he found out that during the Battle of Yiwu, Lu Ziming, who had returned to his hometown to recuperate, came to support with the regiments recruited by the Chiang Prefecture. In the end, more than 800 people were used to raise more banners and clamor for advancement. Attracted more than two thousand Japanese pirates.
It was because of this that more than 2,000 Japanese pirates were transferred away, and Lu Yun, who was facing the front, was able to turn defeat into victory and defeat more than 4,000 Japanese pirates east of Yiwu.
Moreover, Lu Ti led his troops informally, with both wisdom and bravery. After attracting more than 2,000 Japanese pirates, he only used a small group of soldiers and horses to lure the Japanese pirates in circles in the mountains. It was not until heavy fog fell that he led the regiment into the Japanese pirates in the middle of the night. camp.
Visibility was very low in heavy fog, so Lu Borang ordered everyone to make noise and beat drums on the mountain, and then personally led his troops into the Japanese pirate camp.
The Japanese pirates heard the cry of killing all over their ears. They thought that there were many people coming, so they were too frightened to fight and fled.
In the final battle between eight hundred and two thousand, only three Chuzhou soldiers died, but the Japanese pirates were chased all the way to the seaside before giving up.
After reading his uncle's letter, Xu He took out another one. It turned out to be Lu Heng's little girl. In addition to asking about the current situation, the letter was just a reminder.
The most annoying thing is urging people to update, and this person also wants to read the content behind the author's latest manuscript [Yaoxie assumes that Xiao Leiyin and everyone will suffer a great disaster].
The key is that the bookstore hasn't read these chapters yet. He has already given the first half to Lu Heng, so why can't he be satisfied?
"I don't want to see it, send it quickly, hurry, hurry..."
Good guy, have you shared "Journey to the West" with your bestie? It is unbearable!
It's exactly this: the immortal path has not yet been completed, and the mind has no master and the five elements are withered.
After all, I don’t know how this ended up. Let’s listen to the explanation next time——
Want to see? Let’s wait until Fu Xue is free before sending it out!
