As soon as Chen Zhenhui finished speaking, Fang Yizhi immediately said: "I know, I know, the kind of fire gun that uses flint is called a self-generated fire gun."
"That's right. It is indeed a self-made firecracker." Chen Zhenhui nodded.
It is no secret that the Tiger Flag uses flintlock guns. The Ming army has fought so many battles with the Tiger Flag, and they have long been familiar with the firearms used by the Tiger Flag.
After suffering too much, no matter how stupid the generals are, they will still care about some situations in the Tiger-Character Banner Army. After all, it is about their own lives and their black hats.
Maoxiang said: "If the Ming army were equipped with more self-generated fire guns, would they be able to eliminate the tiger thieves and regain the territory lost by the Ming Dynasty?"
"It's hard to say." Chen Zhenhui shook her head slightly.
However, Fang Yizhi said: "In my opinion, it is the corrupt officials in the court that prevent the Ming army from equipping such self-generating fire blunderbuss. Without these traitors, the army would not only be able to equip self-generating fire blunderbuss, but also Equipped with more cannons, not to mention killing a tiger thief, even the Manchu Qing in Liaodong can be killed together."
After Huang Taiji established the Qing Dynasty in Liaodong, the Jurchens also became Manchus, and the name of the Manchus was spread little by little with Fan Wencheng's two visits to Nanjing.
"That's right. The traitors in the court are in power, but the ambitious people cannot come forward. If this continues, when will the Ming Dynasty be able to recover, and when will the Ming Dynasty be restored to its glory." Maoxiang said with the same excitement.
For them, the reason why Ming Dynasty can bully anyone who wants to bully is not that Ming Dynasty is not good, but that the court is controlled by treacherous ministers, which makes Ming Dynasty weak and easy to bully.
"Two, two," Chen Zhenhui said, "Aren't we here to see the envoys of the tiger thief? Why are we discussing the affairs of the court again?"
The forced words interrupted the other two people's discussion of the court.
Although he was also dissatisfied with the situation in the court, as he was older, he was still unwilling to openly discuss some of the high officials in the court in a place like a restaurant.
After all, they will have to take the imperial examination to become officials in the future. If a certain official in the court really stumbles these scholars, it will be very difficult for them to achieve success in the imperial examination.
"Brother Dingsheng, you are just too cautious." Maoxiang complained as if reproaching, and then said, "I heard that the envoy sent by the tiger bandit was an official of our Ming Dynasty? Do you know who it is? "
Fang Yizhi, who heard this, smiled and said, "Don't take the test from us in Pijiang. Who doesn't know that the person here is Hong Hengjiu. He once served as the chief envoy of Shaanxi Province and participated in politics. The court did not lose him. It's a pity that this person is behind the scenes." He is so rebellious that he actually turned his back on the imperial court and took refuge with the bandits. He is simply a rat who seeks glory by turning his back on his master."
"It's true that he is a rat, but he is already the governor of the tiger bandit in Shandong. He can also be regarded as a border official, guarding one area." Chen Zhenhui said with mixed emotions.
My father was a Jinshi in the 23rd year of Wanli. After many appointments, he finally became Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of Civil Affairs. However, he was demoted because of Wei Zhongxian. It was not until the new emperor ascended the throne that he got a position as the censor of the capital in Nanjing. Later, the capital was moved to the Ming Dynasty. Nanjing went one step further and became the censor of Zuodu.
It can be said that it took decades to sit in the position of Zuodu Yushi.
And Hong Chengchou was a Jinshi in the 44th year of Wanli, a full 21 years later than his father, but he was already a high official in the border area. This made him, who was already thirty years old, feel both envious and envious in his heart. There is some contempt for Hong Chengchou's speculation.

"It doesn't matter if he is the governor. When we get on the gold list, we will be better than him sooner or later. Besides, he is just a fake official of a bandit. How can he compare with us." Maoxiang said with a look of disdain.
As a young man, he was in the prime of his ambition. Not to say he was arrogant, but he also looked down upon many officials in the court. In private, he always told others that if he became an official one day, he would rise to the top.
"That's right. A fake official like this is a traitor. Even if he loses to us, we won't want him." Fang Yizhi said with the same hatred as the enemy.
Chen Zhenhui just smiled when she heard the two people's words.
He has seen more things at this age and cannot be like the two in front of him, still full of longing for the future.
"Let's go, the tiger bandit envoy's team has passed. It's time for us to go back." Chen Zhenhui greeted the two people next to her.
They came to the restaurant here at the city gate this time just to take a look at the envoys of the Tiger Flag.
Now that I have seen what I should see, I have no interest in staying here anymore.
If they have free time, they prefer to go to the Qinhuai River, which is ten miles away, to recite poems and talk on the beautiful boats accompanied by beauty, complain about their dissatisfaction in the court, and think about the future. This is their life.
"It's too early to go back now. Do you want to go to the Qinhuai River to find a boat and swim together?" Maoxiang asked the two of them.
"Okay!" Fang Yizhi blurted out, "Anyway, there's nothing to do when we go back now. Why not go swimming together on the river? Maybe we can meet some good friends."
The two people looked at Chen Zhenhui.
Chen Zhenhui hesitated for a moment, then shook her head and said: "I won't accompany you two wise brothers today. There must be a lot of things happening when the tiger bandit envoy team enters the city. I want to go home first. My father may have something to explain. .”
He carried his father out and declined the invitation from the two of them.
"It doesn't matter, the three of us brothers can get together at any time. Since Brother Chen has something to do today, let's get together tomorrow." Mao Xiang was not unhappy with Chen Zhenhui's polite refusal.
In fact, he was very envious of Chen Zhenhui for having a father who was the censor of Zuodu.
Although he also came from an official family, his father was just the magistrate of Yangzhou and was far from comparable to the censor of Zuodu.
"Yes, Brother Chen, if you have something to do, get busy first. We brothers will get together later." Fang Yizhi did not take Chen Zhenhui's rejection seriously.
Although they are close, their relationship is not that good.
In fact, he has a relatively good relationship with Mao Xiang, but his relationship with the older Chen Zhenhui is somewhat distant.
The three people separated after leaving the restaurant.
Maoxiang and Fang Yizhi went to the Qinhuai River together to continue looking for people to talk about the envoys of the Tiger-Character Banner coming to Nanjing, while Chen Zhenhui hurried back home with his servants.
When Chen Zhenhui returned home, she learned from her servants that her father was having a visitor, so she did not go there and returned to her residence, telling her servants that her father would call him when he was free.
About half an hour later, a servant came to tell him that the guest had left.
"Father."
Chen Zhenhui entered the study and saw Chen Yuting in the study. She took the lead in saluting and greetings.
Chen Yuting glanced at his son and said, "Why are you back so early today?"

"After meeting the tiger thief's envoys, the child separated from his companions and returned home." Chen Zhenhui explained.
After hearing this, Chen Yuting nodded and said, "It's better to come back early, because the city has not been peaceful recently."
