34. Assassination in tents, blocking entry to Beijing
Zhang Zhixiang and Wang Yuanzhi talked about the things extended from the shipyard, and the merchant ship docked.
He Hongsheng, the executive officer of Longjiang Shipyard, has been waiting for a long time.
The Tijuan Department is under the Ministry of Works and is not under the jurisdiction of the local government. It has one person, one person, the eighth rank, two deputy one, the ninth rank, and one official, and one person, and is not in the rank.
He Hongsheng is an official of the eighth rank, but when facing Wang Yuan's merchant, he nodded and bowed, and was extremely respectful.
"Mr. Wang."
"The shipyard is ready. This 1,800-material yellow ship is about to be built. There are not many people who can see it. The B-font dock has been cleaned up. The keel of a small yellow ship can be laid at any time."
In order to please Wang Yuanzhi, He Hongsheng can be said to have worked very hard.
As for why he is called an adult, Wang Yuanzhi is indeed an official. If he doesn't go to the imperial examination, he wants to become an official. He will donate a student in the prison first. It is not expensive, only three or five hundred taels of silver.
With the status of a supervisor, you can queue up to become an official, but generally you can't get in less than two hundred years.
I can only spend money to go to the line.
Generally speaking, the level of a county magistrate is a threshold. Without fame and fortune, you cannot get through. The supervisor cannot become a county magistrate unless... you have to pay more.
The Wang family doesn’t have much else, but the money is too much.
Wang Yuanzhi bought a member of the Nanjing Ministry of Revenue. He was a fifth-ranked person and used tricks to take advantage of the pit first. He entered the state of unemployment after half a year and continued to queue up and wait for a short time.
In this way, although he does not have a real position, he can act as a member of the User Department.
Although it is just a false name, there are many people who are willing to recognize it.
He Hongsheng is like this. Not to mention the fifth rank, he treated Wang Yuanzhi as a rank-level official. His diligence and enthusiasm made Zhang Zhixiang feel a little uncomfortable even after following him...
Longjiang Shipyard now has six workshops: tent factory, fine wood, paint, iron, cable and cable.
After visiting the boat platform, He Hongsheng took them to visit the tent. This place where sails are made, there are huge canvas hanging. There is a special artistic conception under the afternoon sun and river breeze.
Zhang Zhixiang was in it, as if lying on the deck in the sea, basking in the afternoon sun.
Extremely quiet and open...
"call out--"
Just as Zhang Zhixiang was enjoying the artistic conception, a sound of breaking through the air suddenly rang out, and the sharp crossbow arrow shot through the canvas and took Zhang Zhixiang's neck and left. He did not react at all.
It was Zhang Yonghuan who suddenly opened his eyes and stretched out his finger to skew the arrow.
Seeing that the attack was missed, the remaining dozens of bows and crossbows were fired together. An assassin drew his sword and shouted, "Kill the Taoist priests and steal the heavenly book." He came to Zhang Zhixiang under the cover of the crossbow arrows.
"Kill people, rob books?"
Zhang Zhixiang was confused. For some rumors in the world, he organized such a large-scale assassination? So outrageous?
The first time the assassination happened, Wang Yuanzhi looked at He Hongsheng with a cold look. He Hongsheng shuddered and hurriedly defended himself, looking like he was about to cry.
This time, Wang Yuanzhi only brought eight guards, and could only barely protect him. I don’t know if he could withstand it.
After a brief look, Zhang Yonghuan saw that there were crossbowmen and musket soldiers filling and aiming behind them, and then charged forward towards the assassins. As a martial arts master who was in good condition, this rush was like a tiger entering the flock of sheep, with the beauty of beating people like hanging paintings.
Although Zhang Yonghuan was so brave, the assassins actually fought to the death.
Some of them were determined to dying and entangled Zhang Yonghuan, while the other one rushed towards Zhang Zhixiang. It was roughly estimated that the number of these assassins was no less than fifty!
"Bang!"
With a gunshot, the guard who was blocking Zhang Zhixiang's body suddenly fell to the ground, and his neck was pierced by the projectile and splashed blood stained Zhang Zhixiang's face, making him a little stunned and lost.
"There are sharpshooters!"
Someone in the guard shouted, and immediately someone rushed towards the person who was sniping with a bird gun, but the man had already begun to move. In the yard, the sails were tied to the traction stages. The sharpshooter in charge of sniping was moving to other traction stages and finding angles to continue sniping.
One person dies and go to chase and kill one person.
Now there are only six guards left, and the protection seems a bit pale.
Zhang Zhixiang looked at a bandit's determination to kill him, but he didn't understand. The so-called heavenly book is just a rumor in the world. Is it worth sending so many dead soldiers to assassinate?
"I'm afraid it's not as simple as killing people and catching treasures."
Assassination was only happening after the ten realms of practice spread in the past two days. If it wasn't for robbing books to assassinate, then it was because... the impact of the realm of Huiguang on the cultivation of immortals.
Wang Yuanzhi narrowed his eyes slightly, probably knowing who took action.
During the war, Wang Yuanzhi was not panicked at all. He took off the cigarette pole from his waist, ignited the fire slowly, and said, "The emperor is keen on cultivating immortals, and is known to everyone in the court and the country."
"If there was no 'returning' incident, His Majesty was disheartened after touching the wall several times, so he turned to retreat and practiced in seclusion and ignored the government affairs."
"But with the 'return'..."
"In order to cultivate immortality, this Majesty will probably work extraordinarily and become more and more tenacious."
"You know, this priest is a very smart person today."
Jiajing likes metaphysics, which was not something that happened recently, but was widely known before he ascended the throne. His father, Zhu Youze, had close contacts with Taoist priests. Before the death of Wuzong, the father and son had never thought of becoming emperors at all, and were both addicted to cultivating immortals.
It was precisely because Yang Tinghe saw this that he chose Zhu Houcan to succeed the throne.
As a result, the one who chose was not a puppet, but a master...
Although Jiajing is diligent now, he is essentially obsessed with cultivating immortals. When Jiajing discovers the situation of the Ming Dynasty, no matter how hard he tries, he can't change it, and he will extinguish his mind and go to seclusion and practice quietly.
Now.
Wang Yangming changed the state of cultivation and had a "return" in life, saying that personal cultivation is closely related to the country and civilization...
Now Jiajing can still go to seclusion honestly?
Although the realm has changed, whether it can influence Jiajing and change Jiajing from the Qing cultivation of the Yinxian School to the practical cultivation of the worldly experience. The important thing is to look at Zhang Zhixiang's entry into Beijing this time.
If Zhang Zhixiang can be killed in time, there will be no such "auspicious immortal born into auspiciousness" to guide the way.
There may be room for salvation in things.
Based on this plan, after the ten realms of cultivation spread, the people behind the scenes immediately made a decision and arranged the assassination when Zhang Zhixiang visited the Longjiang Shipyard.
"Who will it be?"
After hearing what Wang Yuanzhi said, Zhang Zhixiang understood. He once again felt "shocking" and had a deeper understanding of those people's boldness and arrogance.
"I don't know, maybe it's the Xu family or maybe it's other families."
The merchants in the world were not just Hui merchants. There were five major merchant gangs in the Ming Dynasty, divided into Hui merchants, Zhejiang merchants, Jiangsu merchants, Shanxi merchants, and Guangdong merchants. Although Hui merchants were the first of the merchant gangs, the other companies did not fall much behind.
There are twelve companies who have obtained a special identity.
It belongs to the twelve zodiac signs, and each family has a zodiac sign.
The one in Wang Yuanzhi's hand is Wu Ma Ling.
