Chapter Thirty-Seven: Liu Yi's Teaching

The same is true for Taiping Prefecture. Zhou Zhihan was unable to be promoted for five years because he was a Qingliu. He has always been the magistrate of Wuhu County. Huang Yu became the deputy Qianhu family. In the local area, there was the Xu Hongru White Lotus Rebellion in Shandong, and later the Yang Congru Uprising in Anhui. Due to the party struggle between the eunuch party and the Donglin party and the chaos in local administration, there are dozens of soldiers and horses that cannot be distinguished from whether they are thieves, rebels or bandits. Therefore, the military system of the guards in Nanzhili has been adjusted, and the soldiers and horses of several prefectures near Yingtian Prefecture were organized into Nanjing Jingying.

Because Huang Yu was transferred to Dangtu, he became a deputy thousand household in Wuhu County, and his partner was stationed in the prefecture with Long Zongwu. The defense of Fanchang County and Wuhu County was handed over to Wu Bin, and Wu Bin also changed from a hundred households to a general of the battalion commander, and was under the control of Long Zongwu. He had four hundred households under his command, but he was not satisfied.

In fact, he was the chief commander of 500 soldiers, but in fact he had only 300 people. Even three hundred households were not full. Among them, Yan Hai, the former garrison of Fanchang County, commanded the troops. Wu Bin assigned him a general flag to make the troops in Fanchang County reach 120. However, he had only more than 170 people here, and he set up a hundred households. The hundred households were called Zhao Lin, but he was a distant relative of Zhao Jingzhong, one of Wei Zhongxian's ten children.

After he came, he demolished Wu Bin's platform everywhere and kept changing those who defected to him. Relying on Zhao Jingzhong's name, Wu Bin could not touch him. Wu Bin was a professional soldier and was not Zhao Lin's opponent in the officialdom. In the end, Wu Bin could only command a general flag. Even Liu Jin's general flag officer and Tao Zong's small banner officer were removed by Zhao Lin. It was said that he would not raise idle people.

This Mid-Autumn Festival, Cheng Chongdou took Liu Yi to the yard and sat down, and said to Liu Yi solemnly: "Advisor, you have been 65 years old. Over the years, you have studied with your teacher. After the investigation, you can already learn and become a teacher." Liu Yi had long expected that this day would come sooner or later, so he got up and knelt in front of the master to listen to his teachings.

Cheng Chongdou said again: "There is no banquet that will last forever. I have been with you for many years and have known that you have good character and great ambitions in your heart. I have taken it as my responsibility to save the people. Now the eunuch party is in trouble with the government, the people's livelihood is in decline, and bandits are surging everywhere. It is the time for a great man like you to serve the country. I wish you all the best and success. I hope you will not forget the teachings of your master and serve the country. The teacher is here waiting for the moment when you make achievements."

Liu Yi kowtowed a few times with tears in his eyes and said to Cheng Chongdou: "The disciple will definitely live up to his high hopes, serve the country with loyalty, and protect the mountains and rivers of the Ming Dynasty. I hope the master can take care of his health. In the future, if the disciple has a family business, he will take the master to enjoy the happiness of the city. If the master wants to live in the house in the city, he can leave at any time."

Cheng Chongdou nodded and patted Liu Yi on the shoulder lovingly and suddenly said, "Look at my old man's memory, you can give you two treasures to your teacher. Come with me." Liu Yi followed Cheng Chongdou into the room, and Cheng Chongdou took out a long wooden box from under the bed, which was covered with dust.

Cheng Chongdou opened it and said to Liu Yi: "Here. I'll give it to you."

Liu Yi stretched out his head and looked at it, "This, is this?"

Cheng Chongdou took out the things inside, and it turned out to be a large iron gun with a barrel of about nine feet long and a spear head of about one foot and three inches long, with a sharp edge. It was made of fine steel and gold, and it was extremely sharp. It reflected a terrifying light in the sun.

Cheng Chongdou stroked his beard and said, "This gun is called the Shenwei Lie Water Spear. It was a weapon of Qi Shuai back then. There were two shots in total. This shot was given to Li Kefu, the general under Qi Shuai back then. He is also my gun master, so when I got out, I gave this gun to me and hoped that I could make achievements with it, but I failed the master's expectations. Now I will give this Shenwei Lie Water Spear to you, hoping that you can accomplish what I could not do for me."

Liu Yi knelt down and took the spear with both hands and said to Cheng Chong, "I thank you for the master's gift. I will never forget this kindness. I will definitely regard it as the master's unfinished work."

"Okay, in addition, the master's latest and improved sleeve arrow will also be given to you. Unlike in the past, the master has improved the arrow this time and turned the arrow into a triangular piercing arrow. Two layers of armor can be broken within thirty steps. I hope it can help you." Cheng Chong Dou said.

Liu Yi held the flying dragon horse, wearing a brand new white kung fu practice, wearing a net scarf, holding a magical water gun in his hand, and a goose feather knife inserted into the horse bag on his right. He turned around and shouted to Cheng Chongdou, "Take care!" He kowtowed three times, then turned over and "drive!" He rushed towards Wuhu County.

Looking at his cool and heroic figure, Cheng Chong Dou burst into tears, "Take care, disciple!"

(Fisherman's note, this book will not be detailed about the three strange cases in the late Ming Dynasty, but the author talks about his own thoughts on the Hongwan case. From the perspective of general criminal investigation, whoever is the final beneficiary is most likely to be the murderer.

However, the reason why the Red Maru case became a strange case was that the final beneficiary was the eldest son of the emperor Zhu Youxiao. From the perspective of the government affairs at that time, Zhu Youxiao's own power alone was not enough to support this action. Moreover, under the circumstances at that time, his son killed me was too terrifying, but Zhu Youxiao could use his power to fight.

The fisherman boldly speculated that Fang Congzhe and Concubine Zheng wanted to kill Emperor Taichang and support Zhu Changxun to the throne. In this way, Concubine Zheng naturally had the empress dowager to rule from behind the curtain, and Concubine Fang Congzhe could also control the government. There is no dispute, but the final result was that the palace case caused Zhu Youxiao to take over. So who seems to have the greatest power after Zhu Youxiao took over? It is the most powerful figure in the late Ming Dynasty, nine thousand years old Wei Zhongxian, and historical records that Wei Zhongxian, Concubine Zheng and Concubine Zheng and Fang Congzhe are

If he was too close, would it be like this? The three of them formed an alliance, but Wei Zhongxian had his own little Jiujiu. It can be seen from the fact that he killed Wang An in the future that this person was cruel and ruthless. So when he and Zhu Youxiao's wet nurse Keshi, he should have become the undercover agent of Zhu Youxiao's department in Zhu Changxun's faction. After killing Emperor Taichang, he and Keshi used Donglin's power to support Zhu Youxiao to take office, and Wei Zhongxian seemed to have become the biggest winner.

Based on Wei Zhongxian's character of betraying his teammates, he in turn destroyed the Donglin Party. In the end, Wei Zhongxian was trusted by Zhu Youxiao from Long Zhigong and became nine thousand years old. Before Zhu Youxiao died, he told Chongzhen that he would use Wei Zhongxian very much. Everyone said that he was a bad person, but only Zhu Youxiao said that he was a good person. Don't you think it is strange that Shengjun is like this?

Then sort out the fisherman's guess that Zhu Youxiao was the mastermind behind the scenes. He used his teammate Wei Zhongxian to invade the enemy, and then took the lead by himself. Then he helped Wei Zhongxian up to form a eunuch party, allowing the artillery fire from the people to focus on Wei Zhongxian, so that Zhu Youxiao could become the emperor steadily.
