Ever since he started compilation of the Imperial Academy, especially the compilation of the Daming Hui Code of the General Secretary, Gao Pragmatic has become extremely busy, especially since the original editors were transferred out of several senior editors to do other things, leaving the remaining There are only about ten people in charge of the editing work, so the workload has become even greater.
Fortunately, everyone seemed to be more attentive to their work, especially Xiao Liangyou and Wang Tingzhuan, who were busy following Gao Pragmatic. Although the compilation task was heavy, the progress was faster than before. It was much faster, which made Chen Siyu, the head of the academy, very satisfied. He repeatedly improved the treatment of editors and editors, and everyone became more motivated.
However, Wang Tingzhuan's health seemed to be in poor condition. After working for more than a month, he fell ill. Gao pragmatically used his personal connections to ask Li Shizhen to come over from Jianxinzhai to take a look at Wang Tingzhuan. It turned out that Wang Tingzhuan had a heart. It's a hidden disease. If it hadn't been discovered early, I might not have survived past my forties.
Both Gao Pangshi and Wang Tingzhuan became nervous, but Li Shizhen smiled and said there was no need to panic. She immediately gave him a prescription and asked him to take it for three months. He also warned him about some daily precautions, and then left calmly.
Wang Tingzhuan was so frightened that he didn't dare to disobey him and took the medicine obediently as Li Shizhen told him. Only then did Gao Pragmatic remember that Wang Tingzhuan in history seemed to have died violently before the age of forty. Fortunately, Now that Li Shizhen is here, this danger should be avoided.
During this period, in addition to being busy compiling the ceremony, Gao Pragmatic also dealt with many things.
First is the arrangement of the two retired famous generals. Ma Fang and Liu Xian's resignations came up. Gao Jingshi hinted that Wu Dui could ask the emperor to accept them, and then wrote to Ma Fang and Liu Xian, asking them to come to Beijing to treat their hidden injuries and diseases that they had suffered for many years. At the same time, they were specially hired to serve as firearms specialists for Beijing Military Industry. Validation consultant.
Firearms certification consultants, this is of course just a superficial statement. In fact, in addition to reviewing the product research and development of Jinghua Firearms Factory and Jinghua Artillery Factory based on years of practical experience, their more important task is to "lead apprentices" and research new technologies. Tactics.
Taking apprentices is naturally to teach the middle and high-level commanders of the Jinghua Guard Team, the Factory Guard Team, and the Mine Guard Team some experience in combat and logistics deployment, and the study of new combat rules is based on the development ideas of Jinghua's new firearms to create or transform newer ones. Tactical tactics suitable for these weapons.
Among them, Ma Fang is of course responsible for the cavalry, while Liu Xian is responsible for the infantry. Gao Pragmatic also specifically told these two veterans that they could put forward some higher standards for Jinghua's weapon development to coordinate with the new tactics.
Gao Pragmatic also briefly mentioned the so-called wall cavalry tactics, the Spanish Grand Square and the Morris Square to see if the two of them could recognize these tactics that had great reputation in history.
In fact, this may be the difference between Gao Pragmatic and other time travellers. He knows the general appearance of these tactics, but he is not very sure whether these tactics are suitable for the current Ming Dynasty, and his identity is not suitable for these things. He spent too much energy on it, so he had no choice but to leave these tasks to veterans and famous generals like Ma Fang and Liu Xian who had been fighting for decades, and he honestly became the boss.
Fortunately, there were quite a few famous generals in the early Wanli period.
Ma Fang and Liu Xian retired to serve, so naturally they needed someone to fill their vacancies. Gao Pragmatic suggested to Wu Dui that the Ma family could be reused in Xuanda, Shanxi, Shaanxi and other places. Wu Dui knew that Ma Gui and Gao Pingshi had an old relationship in Datong, and they understood each other well, so he replaced Ma Fang with Ma Jin, the commander-in-chief of the Shanxi General Military Department, as the commander-in-chief of the Xuanfu. Commander-in-Chief Ma Gui is the chief military officer guarding Ningxia. As a result, the Ma family has two general soldiers.
The Ma family has been a member of the family for generations, so they naturally have a way to know what is going on. So soon after, a letter arrived at Gao Jingshi's house, thanking Gao Jingshi for his help. One of the signatures was "Presently submitted by Mr. Ma, the little lackey under the family." ", one is "My lackey, Ma, will pay my respects to you soon."
Seeing these words, Gao Pragmatic was both secretly happy and a little sad. Secretly happy that the Ma family has taken refuge with him this time. Sadly, the civil and military system of the Ming Dynasty was really not fair at all.
It's a pity that he is very pragmatic and as a civil servant, his current actual status is not high enough. He certainly cannot express "non-mainstream" views on such matters, so he can only pretend not to know.
As for the vacancy left by Liu Xian's appointment as the Sichuan General Soldier, Gao Pragmatic had no intention of intervening. The main reason is not that Wu Dui will be unhappy. Wu Dui cares about him as his "brother", and Gao Jingzhi's status in his eyes is a hundred times more important than that of a mere Sichuan general soldier.
Gao Pragmatic's main reason is that there is no candidate to fill this vacancy. Liu Wei participated in the martial arts examination some time ago and won the first place in the Gengchen Kewu Jinshi. Seriously speaking, this should be called Wu Huiyuan, but since there is no martial arts examination these days, Wu Huiyuan is actually equivalent to Wu Huiyuan.
Liu Wei himself did not want to return to Nanjing to continue working as a camp in that small school, but his official military position was that of Nanchang Guard Commander. Generally speaking, unless there was a large-scale war in the north, he would not be transferred to the north to hold a long-term position. .
However, his qualifications and rank were not enough to take over the Sichuan Army Corps left by his father Liu Xian, so after much deliberation, Gao pragmatically decided to transfer him to Yunnan as usual in history to prepare to participate in the war against Burma.
Gao pragmatic felt that anyway, this guy had followed his father for many years in Shangougou and performed extremely well in the battles such as pacifying the Jiusi Barbarians and Zhangdu Barbarians. Then the Ming-Burma War was also a battle in Shangougou. Liu Wei should also be a very suitable candidate.
Besides, history has proven that Liu Wei seems to have never been defeated when he led the Confederate Army in mountain warfare.
So Gao pragmatism discussed with Wu Dui, and the Ministry of War proposed that Liu Wei be assigned to guard places such as Yunnan Yidong and Guizhou.
In Yunnan during the Ming Dynasty, Kunming County was generally used as the central axis, and the area to the east was called Yindong. Therefore, the jurisdiction of "Yunnan Yindong and Guizhou and other places" had a large jurisdiction and heavy responsibilities. As for the defense, the defense in the Ming Dynasty was divided into levels. The small one sometimes only took care of one castle, while the big one was like Liu Wei, who was in charge of the defense of several mansions. The levels were of course also different. For example, Liu Wei was assigned the title of guerrilla this time. Let this guard.
However, when Liu Wei took office this time, Liu Xin did not come to the capital with her father, so she naturally stayed in the capital. It happened that the medicine hall in Jinghua was also preparing to produce Baibao Xiansheng Powder presented by the Liu family, so Gao Pragmatic and Liu Xianyi combined and handed over the matter to Liu Xin.
In addition, Gao pragmatically met with Chen Ju sent by Zhu Yijun twice. Zhu Yijun mainly said two things. First, he told Gao pragmatically that the compilation of the canon should be accelerated. He had arrangements. Secondly, he asked How did he go about choosing Zhu Yao'e's consort?
Only then did Gao pragmatically realize that the matter of compiling the ceremony had suddenly been brought up again and was taken seriously by the court. The root cause was actually Zhu Yijun asking about it, and Zhu Yijun was probably trying to find an opportunity for Gao pragmatically to express his merits. As for the "arrangement" mentioned by Zhu Yijun, Gao Pragmatic estimated that it should be a follow-up arrangement, but Zhu Yijun didn't say it, so he couldn't just guess.
As for the matter of choosing a consort for the third princess Zhu Yao'e, Gao Pragmatic has almost done it. Now he has found something for Hou Gongchen to do in the Gao Mansion, and has already hinted at Princess Shang. Hou Gongchen's family background was poor, but he was very filial, good-looking, and a student. Gao Pragmatic felt that he should be a suitable candidate.
After Chen Ju reported the news back to Zhu Yijun, Zhu Yijun was very happy. He went to Zhu Yao'e to talk about this the same day, and then said with a smile, "Hou Gongchen is a good name, and Pragmatic's evaluation of him is also quite good, but I think, Yao'e, you'd better go and see for yourself."
Zhu Yao'e was surprised and happy, and asked uncertainly, "Ah, my royal brother, I can really go and see it."
"Yes, but let's not sneak out this time. It's too dangerous." Zhu Yijun said with a smile, "This time we have to find a more legitimate reason."
