Chapter 039
Cheng Jialong clamored to learn Sanda. Cheng Shijie spent more than three thousand yuan to enroll him in a summer class and practiced for two semesters.
Although it is not very harmful, it is extremely insulting.
"Dad, I... I... really didn't want to hit him. He scolded me, but I couldn't help it... so I hit him!"
"There is no need to endure it anymore!"
"You also say hello with your face turned away. It's the softest place and the easiest to see injuries. There are so many places that can be hit, such as the stomach, torso, thighs, and calves. Why hit the nose? Once the nose bone is broken, it is a minor injury! And If the eyes are damaged, the problem will be more serious."
Cheng Jialong thought he would get a good beating in the fight, but Cheng Shijie's performance was unexpected.
The scrap collection station has become a construction site. Mixers, sand and gravel, cement and workers have already entered the site. Cheng Shijie thought, the scrap collection station is full of old, weak, sick and disabled people, so safety issues must be taken seriously.
It's too far from the city. Even if we call the police, the police won't be able to come for a while.
Cheng Shijie said: "Let's raise two dogs at the scrap collection station!"
Xiang Hui nodded and said, "That's fine!"
"How about I buy two?"
"Too much money to burn?"
Xiang Hui picked up the phone and started to make a call: "Mom, this is Hui Hui, who in our village still has dogs? Yes, yes, yes, I plan to raise two dogs. There are a lot of things at the scrap collection station, although they are not It’s valuable, if someone steals it…Okay, okay, okay!”
In just two minutes, Xiang Hui hung up the phone.
She put away her phone and said, "I've already asked, there are several dog breeders in our village, including thin dogs, pastoral dogs, and golden retrievers. What kind do we want?"
"A golden retriever costs hundreds of dollars!"
"My fellow villagers, you are so mean when it comes to raising money!"
"Then we need a golden retriever, a pastoral dog, and a thin dog. Let's lock them up during the day and let them out at night, right here in this courtyard!"
Cheng Jialong sat in the corner to eat. After eating, he took out his homework book and started doing homework.
Xiang Hui saw that Cheng Jialong was more obedient, and even gave Cheng Jialong a plate of fruit.
Cheng Shijie did not go home with Xiang Hui, but went back early on the pretext that something happened at work.
Before leaving, Xiang Hui looked at Cheng Shijie and said, "Please pay attention to your health. You have lost too much weight during this period!"
"I'm losing weight!"
“Health is the most important thing!”
"Okay, I get it!"
Cheng Shijie brought a large bag of seeds, weighing more than fifty kilograms. Even if these seeds were placed in the late Ming Dynasty, it is not the season for sowing. However, due to his limited transportation capacity, Cheng Shijie was unwilling to come back empty-handed every time.
When Cheng Shijie appeared in the late Ming Dynasty, Cheng Shi hurriedly came over and said, "Father, you are finally back!"
"What happened?"
"Someone from the governor's office is here, asking you to go to Dengzhou City!"
Cheng Shijie frowned, and his heart skipped a beat.
Could it be said that the reselling of military exploits has come to light?
Cheng Shijie washed his face and rode Lao Zhou's carriage, taking Cheng Shi, Cheng Hu and a group of servants to Dengzhou City.
Just as Cheng Shijie's carriage was driving on the official road, the same carriage passed by his carriage. Yang Yuniang came from Dengzhou City with Xiao Jiaxin, Cheng Jingjing, and Cheng Anning.
Because Xiao Jiaxin didn't sleep well at night and was very energetic at night, Yang Yunniang was exhausted from the torture and was sleeping in the carriage.
Cheng Shijie thought about what Sun Yuanhua wanted to do with him.
In fact, when Jin Yousheng reported to the governor's office of Denglai that he had annihilated the fifth Qin headquarters, Sun Yuanhua realized that it was impossible for Jin Yousheng and the useless Dengzhou guards to completely annihilate the powerful bandit Qin Wu. If Jin Yousheng With this ability, last year's defeat wouldn't have been so disastrous.
Sun Yuanhua said subconsciously: "This is impossible. I don't know how bad the Dengzhou Guard is. In the battle last year, almost all the servants that the Dengzhou Guard could fight were killed. With just that few men and horses, not It would be nice to be eaten up by the bandits, and to wipe them all out..."
Staff member Xu Dacheng smiled bitterly and said: "Who says otherwise, but the prisoners have been sent to Dengzhou City. There are more than 3,000 people, and there are more than 1,500 heads, including the ruthless bandit Qin Wu!"
"There's something wrong with this, go check it out!"
"yes!"
As Xu Dacheng conducted an in-depth investigation, using the staff buried beside Jin Yousheng, Xu Dacheng quickly figured out the whole story.
Xu Dacheng then reported to Sun Yuanhua: "Master Futai, the investigation has made it clear that this battle was indeed fought not by the gang of drunkards but by Cheng Shijie, a Qianhu of Dengzhou Weizuo!"
"Cheng Shijie?"
"That's right!"
Xu Dacheng said hurriedly: "A while ago, I spent six thousand taels of silver to buy Cheng Shijie from Weizuo Qianhu in Dengzhou!"
Cheng Shijie spent 8,000 taels of silver to buy an official position. In fact, only 6,000 taels of silver entered the hands of Sun Yuanhua, the governor's Yamen. The two thousand taels of silver were divided between the governor's Yamen and the commander of the Dengzhou Guard, Si Yamen.
Sun Yuanhua nodded and said, "Is it him? I have an impression."
"After Cheng Shijie took office, he used his family wealth to buy food on a large scale in Dengzhou City. He then transferred 400 young men from Dengzhou Guard Zuoqianhu Station and trained them intensively. On the fifth day of Qin Dynasty, he led more than 4,000 bandits to attack Zuoqianhu City. At that time, Zuo Qianhu City was almost captured. That night, Cheng Shijie personally led 400 elites to attack the Qin Fifth Division camp at night. It was just one battle. In this battle, Cheng Shijie defeated more than 4,000 Qin Fifth Division troops along the way. After chasing Qin Wu for more than two hundred miles, he captured Qin Wu in Linglong Mountain. All the leaders from Qin Wu on down were killed and no one escaped the trap!"
"You mean Cheng Shijie has only been training this unit for more than a month!"
"Absolutely not two months, it has only been more than a month since Cheng Shijie took office!"
At this time, Sun Yuanhua became very interested in Cheng Shijie, a Qianhu household. There was a split within the Dongjiang Army. Generals like Geng Zhongming, Shang Kexi, Kong Youde, Li Jiucheng, etc. Why did he want to recruit them?
It is because Sun Yuanhua actually has great political ambitions. He hopes that after the Denglai New Army is trained, he can regain Lushun and Liaonan in one fell swoop. With this huge achievement, not only his teacher Xu Guangqi can successfully enter the cabinet, but also Sun Yuanhua I can also go one step further from the governor and become the governor of Ji Liao or Xuanda.
In addition to him, including the teacher Xu Guangqi, if the teachers and students join forces, they can take power and reform the Ming Dynasty like Zhang Juzheng and Qi Jiguang.
By the time of the Chongzhen Dynasty, all knowledgeable ministers had already seen the crisis within the Ming Dynasty.
The civil and military officials of the Chongzhen Dynasty were considered to be selfish and selfish in later generations. In fact, this is not entirely the case. Just like Bi Ziyan, the Minister of Revenue, in that difficult situation, he demolished the east wall to repair the west wall, barely keeping this broken ship from sinking.
After Liang Tingdong, the Minister of War, took office, he quickly asked for "five things to correct the disadvantages", namely farming, salt method, money method, tea horse, and millet accumulation. He also elaborated on the reasons for the invasion of Shaanxi and requested that corrupt generals be severely punished to alleviate the anger of the army and the people and stop the source of rebellion. The emperor praised him.
It is a pity that these reforms only stayed at the political level, and Liang Tingdong was impeached. Sun Yuanhua's own political philosophy is to continue the strategy of Yuan Keli, the governor of Denglai, with the four states in southern Liaoning as the front and Denglai as the rear, and coordinate the Dongjiang Army and the Denglai New Army to fight a decisive battle with the Jiannu in southern Liaoning.
The Ming army used naval supplies to reduce consumption, and it could use attrition to consume the slaves.
It's a pity that Sun Yuanhua's strategic layout did not have time to be implemented. A Wuqiao mutiny destroyed all his hard work.
At this time, Sun Yuanhua was looking for generals who could fight all over the world, and Cheng Shijie appeared at this time. He spent more than a month training more than 400 young men, and then wiped out more than 4,000 fierce bandits in one battle.
This ability in training soldiers seems to be very outstanding.
When Cheng Shijie returned to Dengzhou City in a carriage, he was directly greeted by the troops of the governor's Yamen.
Cheng Shijie followed the Fubiao pro-jun directly to the governor's yamen. The Fubiao pro-jun primary school came to the door and said directly: "This is Mr. Cheng Shijie of Dengzhou Weizuo Qianhu, Mr. Futai has summoned you!"
The principal just said this, and no one came to check. Cheng Shijie followed the principal into the house, led him to a greenhouse in the atrium, left Cheng Shijie and walked straight away.
Sun Yuanhua did not summon Cheng Shijie immediately. After all, as the governor of a province, Sun Yuanhua was busy with official duties.
Cheng Shijie was mentally prepared and waited patiently. However, he was very bored during the waiting period, so he stood up and observed in the Nuan Pavilion.
On the soft couch in Nuange, there is a small table with a copy of "Seven Books of Martial Arts" placed on it. This is a series of books on the art of war issued by the Northern Song Dynasty as an official book. It is the first military textbook in ancient China. It is compiled from seven famous military books: "Sun Tzu's Art of War", "Wu Zi's Art of War", "Six Tao", "Sima Fa", "Three Strategies", "Wei Liaozi" and "Li Weigong's Questions". It has been a must-read military book for martial arts students since the Song Dynasty.
Cheng Shijie flipped through it casually. This kind of book was obscure and difficult to understand, and he couldn't understand it without some literary skills. He was a male majoring in engineering and knew most of the words. Even if they were connected together, he didn't know what they meant.
After all, Cheng Shijie had graduated too long ago, and everything he said in school was returned to the teacher.
They waited for most of the day, until it was time to turn on the lights, and Sun Yuanhua walked in with a tired look on his face. However, by this time, Cheng Shijie had already fallen asleep sitting on the soft couch.
"Ahem..."
Sun Yuanhua coughed, Cheng Shijie slept so deeply that he didn't wake up.
Xu Dacheng frowned slightly and was about to step forward to wake Cheng Shijie up. However, Sun Yuanhua stopped Xu Dacheng.
"Come on, let's eat!"
The servants brought four plates of dishes, which were not extravagant at all. There were fish and meat, vegetables and shrimps, a combination of meat and vegetables.
Sun Yuanhua was eating vegetables and drinking millet porridge, and Cheng Shijie was awakened by the smell.
Cheng Shijie knew that he had lost his composure and hurriedly apologized: "Master Futai, I am lowering my rank..."
Sun Yuanhua pointed at the food and said, "Come, come, let's eat together!"
Cheng Shijie was not polite, and the woman waiting beside him helped him fill up a bowl of millet porridge to eat.
While Sun Yuanhua was eating, he asked: "Cheng Shijie, do you know why I have recruited you?"
Cheng Shijie hardly needed to think before he said: "I would venture to guess that Mr. Futai has great ambitions to improve the administration of officials and clean up military equipment..."
"Um……"
Sun Yuanhua snorted lightly and motioned for Cheng Shijie to continue.
"In matters of government administration, lower-level officials have neither fame nor talent. It is difficult for them to join the ranks of the elite. I'm afraid they won't be able to help you much!"
Cheng Shijie continued: "To be honest, the subordinate is also complaining that the local armament is slack and the bandits are so arrogant. He wishes he could use his gun and ride the horse to defeat the bandit Shu Zhi. The subordinate does not dare to expect to be in charge of military equipment and supervise military affairs in his life; when he first arrived, When he arrived in Dengzhou, Shijie looked at the situation in Dengzhou and had some delusions!"
"oh!"
Cheng Shijie's voice slowly raised an octave: "Ninghai Prefecture is not only the outpost of Shandong's coastal defense, but also the barrier of the capital. Shijie is willing to lead an army to protect the whole country, so that Jiangyang and pirates will not even think about disturbing the place...also called the raging bear A group of more than ten thousand Dengzhou guards looked at how three to five hundred elites could resist the bandits from outside the country!"
Sun Yuanhua came up and said with interest: "Come, come, come, even if we are talking about war on paper, tell us, how can we protect the safety of the place with the power of one army?"
PS: When asking for votes every day, Lao Cheng unfortunately fell into the trap and insists on coding. If one day I can't hold on anymore, please forgive me.
