"Your Majesty Yan Jizu has finished changing his clothes and is here to see me!"
After some intensive cutting and sewing by the tailors of the Shangyi Supervisor, everyone rushed to make new clothes. Finally, it did not take too much time. The governor of Shandong suddenly became the official first royal model.
After taking off his thick official uniform, he took a shower and put on the new, thin official uniform. The simple design made Yan Jizu feel cooler and more comfortable than ever before.
Although the style of this new official uniform is indeed a bit strange, and I feel a little uncomfortable, it is much more comfortable to wear than the stuffy official uniform.
The attitude of others was second to none. Yan Jizu actually accepted what the prince said before. This new style of official uniform is indeed outstanding. Not to mention it is cool. Because it is short-sleeved, it is easier to hold a pen and write without having to use another hand. Come and pick up your sleeves.
"Come in! It's just in time for you all to have a closer look!"
Because the slits in his robe reached to the knees, Yan Jizu did not look clumsy when he stepped onto the threshold. Judging from his neat steps, when crossing obstacles, he seemed to be lighter than his colleagues in public uniforms.
Seeing this poorly dressed governor, some of the ministers frowned, some were quite surprised, and some sighed sadly. The appearance of this uniform was not much different from what everyone had imagined before.
After some close discussion and whispering, the ministers came to a roughly unanimous conclusion, that is, this uniform is too vulgar and they must not be worn!
Shang Zhouzuo, the censor of the right capital of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, who couldn't bear it anymore, spoke first: "Your Highness, I believe that this uniform has no trace of the ancient heritage of our Han family. It has an ugly appearance and no elegance. If it is seen by the envoys of the feudal state, I will definitely point it out. It’s a shame, it’s detrimental to the prestige of our Ming Dynasty, I hope His Highness will take back his life!”
After hearing this, most of the ministers nodded frequently and agreed. In their minds, the clothes worn by the Shandong governor were half-finished products and they had to go back and add the sleeves.
Zhuang Qinlin, the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, followed closely to assist in the battle and refused this strange service: "Your Highness, I think that since ancient times, our Han family's clothing has been characterized by long sleeves, which is clearly distinguishable from the uncivilized Hu clothing. I am the official of the Ming Dynasty. What is a garment without long sleeves? It’s as hard to look at as a strong man’s broken arm!”
At this time, officials, especially Confucian scholars, basically suffered from long-sleeved obsessive-compulsive disorder. Even the innermost concubine must wear long sleeves. If it is not long sleeves, it will never be worn.
Only Nong Min and Yu Min, who are at the bottom, dress in short clothes. They work hard in summer, and most of them are bare-chested or only wear a small vest and a hat on their head.
Liu Zeshen, the right minister of the Ministry of Justice, continued to criticize, and came with three consecutive attacks: "I reconsider what Shang Yushi and Zhuang Shangshu said. Since my dynasty, Taizu Emperor Gao, all official uniforms have been long sleeves. To this day, since the inheritance of the great unification , Never wear official uniforms without long sleeves."
The Portuguese Cruz once wrote in his book "The Great Ming Dynasty": The common clothing of Ming people is robes. Ordinary people wear black cloth robes, and poor people mostly wear white cloth robes. Because they do not need to be dyed, the price is lower.
He did not say that the poorest people cannot wear robes, and if they wear them, they will not be able to work in the fields. The robes are actually the watershed between people's levels. The shorter the hem and sleeve length of the clothes, the more impoverished they live.
As a class of scholars who use officials as their proxy, they will naturally not move closer to the lower class people in terms of clothing. Especially if the prince intends to ask the court to pay for and give everyone his own official uniform, then he must carefully consider it.
Yaoji couldn't help but raise his eyebrows after hearing this, and thought to himself: Did you just eat and drink enough, and now you're talking about having a meeting in the afternoon to antagonize me? After absorbing the lessons learned in the morning, we started to attack in groups at the beginning of the afternoon!
"Every clothes has its own merits. You must not only look at their appearance, but also listen to the personal feelings of the wearer before you can weigh the pros and cons! Yan Aiqing, tell me how you feel!"
Such a few words are like making me speechless? Then it's too easy for you to think. On such a hot day, idle time is idle, just quarreling with each other.
Even though there was a maid fanning behind him, Yaoji was still too hot to open his fan. The wind hit his face and chest, and there was a dark wind behind the fan.
Yan Jizu knew that the time for his performance had come, and he would go out to eat locusts if he didn't know well: "I think that although the appearance of this uniform is slightly unique, it is several times cooler than the official uniform. It does not have long sleeves to restrain the elbows, and it is very difficult to write. Convenient, if worn in summer, it is indeed better than public clothes."
Seeing the embarrassment of his colleagues who were constantly getting hot and sweating and clinging to old customs, Yan Jizu couldn't help but feel funny. The appearance of this clothes is indeed not as solemn and majestic as the public clothes, but it is worse than the light and comfortable clothes. If there are consecutive officials who fall into coma due to heatstroke, wearing official uniforms will be meaningless.
"It's just a lie. I wrote a poem in my spare time. I chose an Aiqing to have a copying competition with Yan Aiqing to see who could finish the copy first! When I entered the court, I sent someone to bring a long table with pen, ink, paper and inkstone. Serve!”
By the way, I would like to remind you ministers who claim to be patriotic. Don't forget about it as soon as you go out. You consider yourself a Confucian scholar and a great sage. Writing those poetry collections is a veritable thing to kill your will.
The prince's poem aroused the curiosity of the chief minister. I don't know what the level is. If it is a child, in order to avoid making people laugh, it is better to stop and say: "Your Highness, can I let you have a preview?"
When Xue Guoguan took it over and took a look, he couldn't help but be shocked. He was stunned for a long time without saying a word. He read it twice from beginning to end without missing a word.
His face changed again and again, and he took a long time to break free from the poem. Then he bowed deeply to the prince: "Your Highness is wise, wise, and talented. This poem is ambitious, heroic, and majestic. I admire you greatly." !”
All the officials were very surprised when he said this. Xue Guoguan's flattery was too much. What kind of content could make him look like this.
"If His Highness allows it, I will allow you to read it on your behalf!" Of course, the chief minister will enjoy the fruits of such a good deed.
"Read it!" By the way, I will kill your counterattack momentum.
"Wolf smoke rises, the mountains and rivers look north, the dragon curls up, the horse neighs, the sword energy is like frost..."
At first, all the ministers were as disapproving as Xue Guoguan. When the chief minister finished reading the first sentence, everyone immediately stood in awe and were greatly surprised by the prince's poetry talent. Especially the generals in the palace like Sun Chuanting, whose thoughts were immersed in the blood-stained battlefield. Unable to extricate himself from the tragic mood.
When I think of the great Ming Dynasty, it was often ravaged by the iron hoof of the slaves, which led to the destruction of the country, the loss of life, the name of the court, but no assurance of victory, the fall of good generals, low morale, and the situation of the Ming Dynasty becoming more and more passive in the face of the aggressive Qing army. Some ministers were so moved that they even couldn't help but sigh secretly.
The most important thing is that sentence-in twenty years, who can resist?
A battle that took place twenty years ago was the famous Battle of Saarhu!
The Ming army assembled nearly 90,000 elite troops to attack Houjin in Nurha Chicken Wings in the north. As a result, four groups of troops were killed by the opponent and were defeated. The army lost nearly half. Half of the land outside the pass was subsequently taken by Houjin, which shocked the government and the public. Then began A tug-of-war that lasted twenty years.
Since then, the strength of the Ming army outside the pass has been severely weakened, and the entire front has turned to passive defense. Hou Jin, whose military strength has rapidly increased, has begun an all-out attack, and has continued to invade the border towns of the Ming Dynasty southward. To this day, the Ming army has not been able to reverse such a critical situation. situation. Although it was regarded as a national humiliation by the Ming Dynasty, it was unable to take revenge due to internal and external troubles.
As the Ming court gathered a large number of troops and was busy fighting the waves of civil war in the pass, there were not many major battles between the Ming and Qing Dynasties. There was only one that could be called a strategic decisive battle, and that was the Battle of Saarhu. After defeating the attacking Ming army in this battle, Nurha Chicken Wings opened the door to the emperor's legacy.
As for the Battle of Songshan commanded by Hong Chengchou, although the Ming army mobilized 130,000 troops, almost all the troops from the north, they were very determined to break the siege of Jinzhou, and the dumper had high hopes for it, but before the battle started, it was already Knowing the result, Dingtian is just the Ming Dynasty version of Arden, not even a death struggle.
To this day, the Manchu, Han, and Mongolian armies of the Qing Dynasty each have eight banners, and the total strength of the twenty-four banners is as high as 180,000. Even a more optimistic estimate is based on the fact that Huang Taiji can only command 120,000 troops who can go south at any time. . The Ming army needed three times the size of the enemy to attack it, which also required 360,000 troops.
If it is more ideal and safer, it is best to gather more than four times the number, which is close to half a million. Taking into account the annual salary, food, grass, and weapons, the average annual consumption per person is forty taels of silver. So just raising these people will cost an annual The military salary is as high as 20 million taels of silver.
This is also the reason why Shenzong and the dumping father repeatedly urged the frontline commanders to quickly fight the enemy. Because they had no money in their pockets and could not afford to support so many soldiers, they could only fight quickly.
But the consequences of such a push are obvious. Once the Ming army is defeated, it will probably be wiped out or severely damaged by the enemy, and more money will need to be spent to recruit troops.
Like other time-travelers, recruits who have been trained for several months can confront the pigtails, and 8,000 people can go straight to Shen Yang's chicken coop. Meteorite is more suitable...
Use one chicken coop to fight three chicken coops. The only thing Yao Ji knows is to use the method of random ore flow to recruit troops. If you can't defeat one hundred thousand, you can get two hundred thousand. If you can't defeat two hundred thousand, you can get five hundred thousand. If you can't defeat five hundred thousand, Just one million, until the chicken on the other side is killed with money!
This trick is not too bad. This was how Han Xin defeated Xiang Yu to death, and few people said he was shameless. As long as he won the battle, he could write whatever he wanted in the bound book. Otherwise, how many Han armies can defeat the same number of Chu armies in a one-on-one battle?
When you have saved up enough money, you can go forward in ten groups, each with 100,000 troops, and join together to attack the XXXL-Plus version. Let’s see how many roasted chicken wings Huang Tai Chicken has with cumin curry flavor. You can take advantage of such clever tricks... …
So Yaoji first set a small goal for himself that was relatively easy to achieve. He first saved 50 million taels of silver. He didn't know what the dumping dad who came back from Xianyou would think after hearing this!
