Ever since he started compiling Hanlin, especially the compilation of the Ming Dynasty Code of the General Secretary, Gao pragmatism 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 chief editor, very satisfied. He repeatedly improved the treatment of editors, and everyone became more motivated.
However, Wang Tingzhuan's health seemed not to be good. He fell ill after working for more than a month. 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 condition. It's a hidden disease. If it hadn't been discovered early enough, I might not have survived past the age of 40.
Both Gao Pangshi and Wang Tingzhuan became nervous, but Li Shizhen smiled and said there was no need to panic. She immediately prescribed a prescription for him and asked him to take it for three months. He also warned him about some daily precautions and left calmly.
Wang Tingzhuan was so frightened that he did not dare to disobey 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.
The first is the arrangement of the two retired generals. Ma Fang and Liu Xian both submitted their resignations. Gao Pragmatic hinted that Wu Dui could submit it to the emperor for acceptance, and then wrote to Ma Fang and Liu Xian, asking them to come to Beijing to treat the hidden illnesses they had suffered for many years. , and at the same time specially hired two people as firearms certification consultants for Jinghua Military Industry.
Firearms certification consultants, of course, is 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 "train apprentices" and research new technologies. Tactics.
Naturally, bringing up apprentices is 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. The study of new warfare rules is based on the development ideas of Jinghua's new firearms to create or transform new ones. Tactical tactics suitable for these weapons.
Of course, Ma Fang was in charge of the cavalry, while Liu Xian was in charge of 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 travelers - 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 the Ming Dynasty. He spent too much energy on these things, 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, while he honestly became the boss.
Fortunately, there were quite a few famous generals in the early Wanli period...
Ma Fang and Liu Xian retired and became official, so they naturally 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 Pragmatic had an old relationship in Datong back then, and they understood each other, so he Tongzhi Ma Jin, the commander-in-chief of the Shanxi General Military Administration, replaced Ma Fang as the commander-in-chief of the Xuanfu. This man was Ma Gui's eldest brother. Ma Gui, the deputy commander-in-chief of Datong, was appointed as the chief military officer guarding Ningxia. As a result, Ma's family A double army.
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 "Presented by Mr. Ma, the little lackey under the sect." ", one is "My lackey, Mr. Ma, bowed his head and bowed again."
Seeing these words, Gao Jingshi was both secretly happy and a little sad. What he was secretly happy about was that the Ma family had taken refuge with him this time. What was sad was that the Ming Dynasty's civil and military system 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 in Sichuan's general army after Liu Xian became official, Gao Jingshi had no intention of intervening. The main reason was not because he was afraid that Wu Dui would be unhappy. Wu Dui was very concerned about his "brother", and Gao Jingshi was in his eyes. The status is a hundred times more important than that of a mere Sichuan general soldier.
The main reason for Gao Pragmatism 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, In the imperial examination, Wu Huiyuan is actually equivalent to Wu Zhuangyuan.
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 the commander of the Nanchang Guard (Wufeng's note: According to "Records of Ming Shenzong"). Generally speaking, unless a large-scale war breaks out in the north, , otherwise 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 Gao pragmatically thought about it and decided to transfer him to Yunnan as usual in history to prepare to participate in the war against Burma.
Gao pragmatism felt that anyway, this guy had followed his father for many years in the mountains and valleys, and had performed extremely well in the battles such as pacifying the Jiusi Man and the Zhangdu Barbarians. So in the Ming-Burma War, which was also a battle in the mountains and valleys, Liu Wei should also be a very suitable candidate.
Besides, history has proved that Liu Wei seems to have never been defeated when he led the Southern Army in mountain warfare (the time he died in the battle of Saarhu, he originally wanted to wait for his own Sichuan soldiers to arrive, but he waited and waited. When I arrived, the superiors were in a hurry, so I had to lead the northern troops to the expedition).
So Gao pragmatism discussed with Wu Dui, and the Ministry of War proposed that Liu Wei be assigned to guard Yunnan Yidong and Guizhou and other places.
In Yunnan in the Ming Dynasty, Kunming County was generally the central axis, and the area to the east was called Yidong. Therefore, the jurisdiction of "Yunnan Yidong and Guizhou and other places" had a large jurisdiction and heavy responsibilities. As for defense, the defense in the Ming Dynasty was divided into levels. , the small ones sometimes only take care of one castle, while the big ones are like Liu Wei, who is in charge of the defense of several mansions, and the levels are of course different. For example, Liu Wei is in charge of the defense this time with the title of guerrilla.
However, when Liu Wei took office this time, Liu Xin did not go with him - her father was coming to the capital, so she naturally stayed in the capital. It happened that the medicine hall in Beijing also started to prepare the Baibao Xuanming Powder presented by the Liu family.
Therefore, Gao Pangshi and Liu Xianyi combined their efforts 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 and he had arrangements;
I was asking him how he went about selecting Zhu Yao'e's consort.
Only then did Gao pragmatic know that the compilation of the ceremony was suddenly brought up again and was taken seriously by the court. The fundamental reason was that Zhu Yijun asked about it, and Zhu Yijun probably wanted to find an opportunity for Gao pragmatic to express his merits. As for Gao pragmatically, it was
The "arrangement" Zhu Yijun mentioned, Gao Pragmatic estimated, should be the follow-up arrangement, but Zhu Yijun didn't say it, so he couldn't just guess.
As for the matter of selecting the 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 is very poor.
, but he is very filial, looks pretty talented, and is a student, so Gao Pragmatic thinks he should be a suitable candidate.
After Chen Ju reported the news to Zhu Yijun, Zhu Yijun was very happy. He went to Zhu Yao'e to tell him the news that day, and then said with a smile: "Hou Gongchen's name is quite good, and Pragmatic's evaluation of him is also quite good, but I think
, Yao'e, you'd better go and take a look for yourself."
Zhu Yao'e was surprised and happy, and asked uncertainly: "Ah? I...Brother Huang, can I 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."
