Dasong's first nightclub is quite fun for many people in this era, but for Ma Hanshan, it is really not that good because the program is too monotonous. He comes and goes just playing piano and singing, and hehe. It's really boring to write a poem with a couplets or something like that.
Ma Hanshan originally wanted to give Shen Wuwan some more advice to enrich the program, but unfortunately, Shen Wuwan was nowhere to be seen until Ma Hanshan and the others broke up and went home.
So, why did Shen Wuwan go there?
He was really sought out by the governor of Lin'an, and the governor's search for him was actually related to Ma Hanshan.
In fact, Fu Yin was just acting as a middleman, and the person who came to him was actually General Zuo Xiaowei and Bi Jiyu, the envoy of the Baokang Army.
Coincidentally, Meng Lianggon had originally arranged for Bi Jiyu's grandson to have a drink with Ma Hanshan tonight, but he missed it because of Shi Yuzhi. No one expected that his grandfather, from the second-grade military attaché Zuo Xiaowei General Bi Jiyu also came to find Ma Hanshan.
Bi Jiyu came to find Ma Hanshan because of a rumor. He didn't know who spread it. It was said that the reason why Wagang Village was able to defeat the Hugou camp with fewer people was mainly because the leader of Wagang Village invented a powerful weapon. Weapon: Fire grenade.
Until recently, by chance, he heard that there were explosive and burning weapons in Wagang Village. He immediately knew that the reason why Wagang Village was able to defeat Hu Bing was because of the explosive and burning weapons that defeated Hu Bing. u

Until recently, by chance, he heard that there were explosive and burning weapons in Wagang Village. He immediately knew that the reason why Wagang Village was able to defeat Hu Bing was because of the explosive and burning weapons that defeated Hu Bing.
As a veteran who cares about national affairs, when he heard about such powerful weapons, he certainly wanted to equip the country's armies with them. But how can he obtain such new weapons? How can he get the emperor to agree to equip them? This is not easy. thing.
Bi Jiyu was a close friend of Du Gao, the governor of Lin'an. After he stepped down from his official duties, Du Gao gave him advice on many matters, and this matter was naturally no exception.
Du Gao had a relationship with Shen Wuwan in Lin'an, so he naturally knew that Shen Wuwan's Zuixianjiu was produced in Wagang Village, so he found Shen Wuwan...
Shen Wuwan knew Ma Hanshan's temperament very well. Others could never force him to do anything he disagreed with. Therefore, he did not dare to agree to Bi Jiyu, and he did not even dare to say that Ma Hanshan had come to An. But he could not bear to refuse the old general. , and finally had to promise Bi Jiyu that he would try his best to handle this matter.
…
The next day, Shen Wuwan went to Baoshishan Villa early to visit Ma Hanshan, but failed. The gatekeeper told him that Master Ma had gone out early in the morning, but he did not know where Master Ma had gone or what he was doing. Time to come back.
Shen Wuwan returned disappointed, but at this time, someone excitedly entered the palace to meet the saint.
Lu Wenkuan, who was jointly sent by the governor of Jinghu and the prefect of Xiangfan, came to the palace to meet the emperor. The governor sent him to the capital to report on the horse purchase, while Gai Rancong sent him to the capital to present fire and water lanterns to the emperor. .
Lu Wenkuan was ordered to go to Beijing the day after Ma Hanshan left Xiangfan. Although he left Xiangfan only one day later than Mahanshan, he traveled overland on horseback, so he arrived in Beijing almost on the same day as Ma Hanshan, who had been in Ezhou for two or three days.
Of course, Lu Wenkuan could not go to see the emperor directly. According to the plan discussed by Gai Rancong and Fan Tianshun, no one would disclose the horse purchase before meeting the emperor. Therefore, when he arrived in Beijing, he went to work first The minister met with the minister of the Ministry of Industry and then Zuo Pushe of the minister's province. Finally, he was given several fire and water lamps and a small bottle of kerosene before he had the opportunity to enter the palace.
"Lu Wenkuan, why did you come to Beijing? Do you know that you will be beheaded if you leave your post without permission?" Emperor Long Guangning met with Lu Wenkuan in Chui Gong Hall after the court meeting.
"Your Majesty, I have not left my post without permission, but have been sent to the capital by the ruler and prefect to report important military information." Lu Wenkuan stepped forward and saluted.
"Oh? Important military information? Isn't there a special person to report important military information? Do you need a general to come in person? Why did the Ministry of Industry say that you came to Beijing to present new lamps to me?" Long Guangning began to listen.
He was very angry when he said that the dignified city guard general Yi Lian Deng had left his post. But now that Lu Wenkuan said that he came to Beijing because of important military information, his anger became a little less.
It is very troublesome to meet the emperor. You don't just want to meet him. It is easier to meet the officials in the capital. It is really troublesome for local civil and military officials, especially the military attachés, to meet the emperor. Otherwise, Lu Wenkuan would not have to hide his head and show his tail like this.
Military intelligence reporting is also very troublesome. You cannot skip levels. You have to report to the higher level level by level. Reporting beyond the level is taboo. From the Ministry of War, the Privy Council, the Prime Minister, etc., a message may not reach the emperor for several days. Of course, if
There are also shortcuts for urgent military information, but no one dares to take this "shortcut" easily, because it is easy to be "abused" by the accused. In this case, it will be more serious than reporting beyond the level.
Well, even in the modern society of Mahanshan's previous life, such things as reporting beyond the level were very taboo and a taboo in official circles.
"Back to the Emperor, Fan Tongzhi and Prefect Gai both believed that this matter should not be publicized for the time being, so they ordered me to face the Holy Spirit directly..." Lu Wenkuan said calmly.
Although Dasong valued literature over military affairs, Emperor Guangning was not completely heartless. He was an emperor who completely trusted his civil servants. Otherwise, he would not have listened to Han Qizhou's advice and agreed to the Northern Expedition. Lu Wenkuan had figured out Emperor Guangning's temper.
Therefore, Emperor Guangning pretended to be serious but he was not afraid at all.
"Isn't it appropriate to publicize it?" Long Guangning glanced at the eunuch standing next to him, waved his hand, and the eunuch and maid in the palace quietly retreated.
"Let's talk, it's just me and General Lu in the palace now." Without anyone else, Long Guangning's name for Lu Wenkuan changed.
"Your Majesty, I am so happy that we have found a way to buy army horses..." Lu Wenkuan took two steps forward and whispered with his fists clasped.
"What? Is there any way to buy military horses?" Upon hearing this, Long Guangning left his seat excitedly and walked towards Lu Wenkuan, holding his hand and saying, "General Lu, tell me in detail quickly."
Fortunately, there is no imperial seat for Long Guangning in the banquet hall. If he were in the main hall, and Long Guangning walked down the imperial platform at this speed, he would definitely fall to pieces and eat his shit, which would be really embarrassing.
"Your Majesty, please take a seat. I'll wait for you to come one by one." Long Guangning was so excited that Lu Wenkuan became nervous. If word of this "coaxing" got out, he would definitely be criticized by those bitter and rotten scholars.
"Sit... Lu Aiqing should also sit down and report." Long Guangning sat on the brocade pier next to the ministers, pointed to the one next to him, and asked Lu Wenkuan to sit down and report.
"Yes." Lu Wenkuan was not polite. He sat down and told Ma Hanshan that he could buy military horses.
"Mahanshan again? General Lu, does the Mahanshan you are talking about come from Wagong Village in Guogai Mountain?" Long Guangning asked in surprise.
"The emperor knows about him?" Lu Wenkuan was also surprised. He didn't expect that the emperor also knew about his adopted brother.
"So, it's him." Long Guangning said with a grin, "Not only do I know him, but I also know a lot of things about him, such as capturing two hundred more Hu soldiers as coolies with a small victory, and the drunken immortal he brewed.
Wine, and the green fragrant tea produced in Wagangzhai. He is a versatile man in both civil and military circles. He can brew unique wine and grow such fragrant tea. At such a young age, he can actually arrange troops.
The formation captured a battalion of Hu soldiers alive..."
Long Guangning thought that Zuixianjiu was brewed directly like Dasong's wine. He didn't even know that Luyun was actually wild tea, which was just fried by Ma Hanshan using the "modern frying" method.
"Your Majesty, that's not all. He can also make lamps that are bright and not afraid of wind and rain. The wind lantern is such a fantastic idea that it is not afraid of wind and rain. Also, he can also buy the most needed lamps for me.
An incredible military horse." Lu Wenkuan took the opportunity to advertise and praise Ma Hanshan. He also benefited from it, as he was his adopted brother.
"Ah, are there any lamps that are not afraid of wind and rain? Hurry up and present them..." Long Guangning was very curious about what kind of lamps are not afraid of wind and rain.
"Yes, your Majesty, wait a moment." Lu Wenkuan quickly ran outside the palace and brought in a box.
There was nothing else in the box, just a few large and small kerosene lamps and two gas-dead wind lamps.
"Your Majesty, this is a lantern that is not afraid of wind and rain." Lu Wenkuan took out a lantern and said.
"Ah, how bright can such a small lamp be?" Long Guangning seemed a little disappointed.
Because the lamps in the palace are all very big, the giant butter candles are as big as children's arms. Not to mention the big lanterns hanging on the eaves of the palace, even the portable lanterns are very big, otherwise the light would be too weak.
.
And this qi-death wind lamp is as big as a large bowl in diameter and only a little over a foot in height. Is such a small lamp really bright enough?
"Your Majesty, don't be impatient. Please light the lamp..." Lu Wenkuan took out two kerosene lamps, one large and one small, from the box and lit them skillfully.
"Ah, it's really bright..." Long Guangning exclaimed in surprise, "Someone... lowered the curtains, closed all the windows, and turned out all the lights."
In fact, the palace is not as magnificent as described in the book. If the lights are turned off, most palaces will be eerie because the lighting is not good. Therefore, all palaces must light up lights day and night, only during the day.
Just order a little less.
The eunuch and the maid covered the windows and extinguished the lights in the palace. Finally, the brightness of the kerosene was fully revealed in front of Long Guangning.
"It's really bright..." Long Guangning exclaimed.
"Your Majesty, be careful." Lu Wenkuan followed the same experiment that Ma Hanshan had done for him before. He poured a cup of tea on the angry wind lantern and flicked it vigorously with a fan a few times. There was nothing wrong with the angry wind lamp.
"Haha, it's true that the wind can't quench it, the water can't quench it, haha, good, great." Long Guangning was overjoyed.
Lamps, for modern people who have never experienced difficulty walking at night, no matter what kind of lamp they are, there is not much emotion or surprise. But for the ancients, where sunset means walking is forbidden, a lamp that is not afraid of wind and rain is definitely a blessing.
What a shocking invention. What's more, not only is this lantern not afraid of wind and rain, but it is also so bright that the king of the country was so surprised that he wanted to clap his hands.
