at the same time.
Zuo Maodi, a fourteen-year-old boy from Laiyang County, Shandong Province, was also on his way to Dahuang Village with excitement.
Fang Yizhi, a fourteen-year-old boy from Tongcheng, South Zhili, also entered the territory of Dahuang Village accompanied by his father Fang Kongzhao.
Lu Xiangsheng, who was twenty-five years old at the time, also arrived in the capital and made arrangements to go to Dahuangzhuang first. He was a Jinshi in the second year of Tianqi, so he was a very talented person! He first served as the head of the household department, was promoted to Yuanwailang, and later moved to the magistrate of the daimyo.
Serving as the prefect of a prefecture at the age of twenty-five shows that he has extraordinary talents.
Fifty-four-year-old Bi Maokang also arrived at Dahuang Village almost at the same time.
He was a Jinshi in the 26th year of Wanli, and was awarded the title of Zhongshusheren. Later, he moved to Guangxi to be the censor of the Dao, the censor of Youqiandu, and the inspector of Shaanxi. Last year, when Shaanxi suffered a big disaster, he set up porridge factories and warehouses. The refugees gradually resumed their occupation, and there were tens of thousands of people alive.
He reviewed ten border affairs and impeached seven people including Wang Xueshu, the deputy commander-in-chief. Therefore, he offended the courtiers and was dismissed by Wei Zhongxian as a citizen. He returned to his hometown in Anhui to live and study knowledge.
He and Fang Kongzhao received the order almost at the same time, so they arrived at Dahuang Village at this time.
Forty-four-year-old Sun Yuanhua rushed to Dahuang Village from Ningyuan, Liaodong.
He studied firearms and mathematics under Xu Guangqi, but because he was enthusiastic about Western learning, he failed to pass the Jinshi examination, so he gave up the imperial examination and concentrated on studying Western learning.
Sun Yuanhua came into contact with Western priests and Western learning because of his mentor Xu Guangqi.
After Xu Guangqi entered Christianity, Sun Yuanhua confirmed that Catholicism could "benefit Wanghua, influence Confucianism, and save Buddhism." After he was baptized into Christianity in Beijing in the first year of Tianqi (1621), he invited foreign priests to his hometown Jiading to start teaching, and thus Jiading Become one of the Catholic activity centers in China.
In the second year of Tianqi (1622), Liaodong's defense was tight. Sun Yuanhua submitted two strategies to the imperial court: "Beijing Preparation" and "Border Defense", which received great attention from the imperial court.
Sun Chengzong, the Secretary of the Ministry of War, was appointed as the manager of Jiliao. He used Sun Yuanhua to build platforms and artillery, and built Ningyuan City, with Sun in charge. ("History of the Ming Dynasty: Biography of Sun Chengzong")
Later, Hou Zhenyang recommended him to join the army in Liaodong and cooperated with Yuan Chonghuan to station in Ningyuan. He was of great help to Yuan Chonghuan and others. Yuan Chonghuan was praised as "the two essences of knowledge and wisdom".
The following year, Sun assisted Yuan Chonghuan in guarding Ningyuan. In the sixth year of the Apocalypse, Nurhachi led an army of 60,000, claiming to have 200,000, and stormed Ningyuan. A total of 11 cannons were deployed on the city walls of the Ming army, which were astonishingly powerful. Nurhachi was defeated and retreated injured (according to different opinions on whether he was injured, in the article The selected information is different, please don’t comment, thank you bosses.), died of illness seven months later, known as the "Ningyuan Victory" in history.
Facts have proved that building platforms and making artillery is the best strategy to resist gold.
Later Sun Yuanhua also died as a result.
In the fifth year of Chongzhen's reign, General Kong Youde captured Dengzhou due to rebellion. Later, Kong Youde brought a large number of Hongyi artillery and gunners across the sea and surrendered to Houjin in Dengzhou, which gave Houjin the ability to use firearms to attack cities.
Sun Yuanhua was blamed by Emperor Chongzhen and beheaded at Caishikou, Beijing. This was an unjust case (if you are interested, you can check it out by yourself, I will not repeat it again).
Thirty-two-year-old Sun Chuanting also arrived almost at the same time!
He was in the forty-seventh year of Wanli. He was a Jinshi in high school when he was twenty-six years old. He was awarded the magistrate of Yongcheng County at the beginning of the first year of Tianqi. Two years ago, he was dismissed from the official position for offending Wei Zhongxian.
It was not until the eighth year of Chongzhen, twelve years later, that he became an official again.
During the 25 years from the time when Sun Chuanting was a Jinshi to his defeat in the 16th year of Chongzhen, he gradually rose from the county magistrate of Yongcheng to the Minister of the Ministry of War, commanding the military affairs of seven provinces, and participated in and presided over dozens of suppressive activities against the militia in the late Ming Dynasty. He was deeply appreciated by the Ming court.
Whether in the joint encirclement and suppression of the "Four Positives and Six Corners" or in the independent action of "Defending the Flood Pass", he used his unique resourcefulness and decisiveness to put the peasant army in difficult and dangerous situations many times and became a force in the hands of the Ming court. A rare trump card.
Therefore, there is a saying in "History of the Ming Dynasty" that "when the Chuan court died, the Ming Dynasty died."
Several people arrived at Dahuang Village in the evening.
Also today, also in the evening, Huang Xiao also returned again.
After five days of intensive training, he had completely mastered the propeller aircraft operating techniques, and he spent the remaining time learning parachute techniques.
In his spare time, Huang Xiao worked with coaches and self-study to compile a feasible pilot training manual.
Although there were only five days, Huang Xiao's arrangement was extremely tight. If he hadn't had extraordinary physical strength, photographic memory, and extremely smartness, he wouldn't have learned so much. When he left, the coach was shocked!
Huang Xiao chose the Aerospace University because they had old-fashioned aircraft. In short, he gained a lot from this trip to the capital.
After returning to the small courtyard, he couldn't wait to return to Daming.
After five days apart, he was always reflecting on his behavior while studying. When he came back, he could no longer act recklessly!
He really missed the people and things of the Ming Dynasty, and was also worried that the court would have something to deal with, so he returned to the palace as soon as possible.
Jiaotai Hall was the place Huang Xiao and Zhang Yan had discussed.
When Huang Xiao came back, he arrived at Jiaotai Hall.
He was able to enter Qianqing Palace.
Zhang Yan and Zhang Lizhen's eyes lit up.
Zhang Lizhen smiled sweetly at Huang Xiao.
Zhang Yan nodded slightly, but Huang Xiao could still see her happiness from Wan Cheng Yue'er's eyebrows.
"Are you back? Is everything done?" Zhang Yan asked calmly.
Huang Xiao nodded and asked, "Do you have anything going on these days?"
Zhang Yan said: "Everything is fine. The talents you summoned have all arrived at Dahuang Village today. When are you going to meet them?"
Huang Xiao said: "No rush, let them experience it at Dahuang Village first!"
Zhang Yan nodded, stood up and went out, saying: "Zhen'er, go and talk to Huang Xiao. He has been working hard these days, so let him rest early."
Zhang Lizhen walked up to Huang Xiao and looked at Huang Xiao affectionately with her beautiful eyes, but was speechless for a moment.
Huang Xiao raised his head and glanced at Zhang Yan, then looked back at Zhang Lizhen.
The two women were dressed almost the same today. If it weren't for Zhang Yan's and Zhang Lizhen's different gazes, Huang Xiao would have almost been confused.
Zhang Yan seemed to have remembered something, and said calmly: "Huang Xiao, have you had dinner?"
Huang Xiao smiled and shook his head, "I'm in a hurry to come back and haven't eaten yet."
Zhang Lizhen said: "Sister, Huang Xiao, you are so weird now. Why are you so polite? Have you not seen each other for several days?"
Zhang Yan had a complicated look in her eyes.
Huang Xiao also felt awkward in his heart. He also knew that Zhang Yan deliberately kept a distance, but it was okay. After all, she was his sister-in-law and she couldn't mess around. But could she keep the distance if she wanted to?
Huang Xiao smiled and said: "What nonsense are you talking about? This is how my wife and I are originally!"
Zhang Lizhen said with a smile: "I still like to be free. I talk and laugh as before. My sister and I haven't eaten yet. Sister, can we have dinner with Huang Xiao?"
Zhang Yan could only nod.
now.
Inside Dahuang Village.
The three of them, Li Hongji, were also invited to her home by the enthusiastic Mrs. Wang.
Others were received and arranged by others.
