Ma Dapeng, the fat promotion officer of the Ordnance Bureau, took out his handkerchief and wiped some sweat on his forehead, then grabbed a cattail leaf fan and fanned it vigorously. His actions made people feel anxious, "It's a waste of time for me to be brothers with that surnamed Fan.
Why did you miss him?"
Lao Xu, who was sitting on the chair next to the coffee table, also echoed: "This kind of person must be severely punished. Although he took away his eldest son, his parents, daughter and youngest son are still in Chenzhou!"
Zhang Ning tapped his fingers on the table habitually, thinking that Liu Heju, the general who originally belonged to the army, could betray him, so why would it be strange for the people on his side to surrender? Everyone has his own ambitions. (No.
, pop-up window... But he can't say that. If he expresses his thoughts clearly and doesn't encourage people to defect? He immediately said: "If Fan Laosi is really recruited by the government, he may not be easy. An unfaithful and unjust servant serves two people."
Where can the Lord’s people be valued?”
This sentence resonated with many people in the government office. Zhang Ning had already grasped the values of the people of the Ming Dynasty. Although the world was turbulent for profit, they still valued loyalty and trustworthiness.
Lao Xu immediately showed up to everyone and said: "I served as a general in the army back then. I was framed and convicted and was in disarray. I know the rules of the army very well. People like Fan Laosi did it among those who rebelled against the imperial court.
If you live a good life, you will never be able to clean up your stain. If you live a good life, you just have to eat and drink in it cautiously, and your future is definitely not good; if you live a bad life, once you have used it all, you will have to settle the accounts... But here we have
, his parents, wife and children can’t please each other, they always have to take the blame for him. The two are not human beings.”
Zhang Ning suddenly remembered that several innocent members of the Zhang family were implicated and persecuted, and he did not want to kill Fan Laosi’s family. In fact, his family was also innocent. He reminded him: “Have Fan Laosi and others taken refuge?
The government has no real evidence to prove it yet, so you don't need to accuse his family members yet."
"No one knows where such a big man has gone. Besides, there are several craftsmen running away with him. Why are they not seeking refuge with the government?"
Zhang Ning said: "Having said that, it's still too early to convict. However, when guarding against the officers and soldiers, the Council should consider the possibility of our military leaks. The person who serves as the governor of Huguang this time is Yu Qian. Maybe you haven't heard of his reputation.
, but I have worked with him before, and I know that this person is not a good person. He is thoughtful and not only knows people but is also good at convincing them. The most difficult thing to deal with is that this person has a decent style and seems to have no weaknesses. He is a person who cannot find any weaknesses.
, it would be difficult for him to make a mistake by chance."
He looked serious when he spoke, but unexpectedly a general joked: "Compared with Yu Qian and my lord, who is more powerful?"
After Zhang Ning heard the joke, he actually meant to praise himself. Since he just said that Yu Qian was powerful, then the generals were compared with him. Naturally, only those who are qualified can be put together. Because of Yu Qian's reputation in history, Zhang Ning did not feel that he was
An unknown person can compare with him, but Yu Qian has not achieved much yet.
He relaxed his facial expression and said with a smile: "In the past when we were on official business with Yu Qian, we stood together and there was no difference between the winner and loser. If we want to compare, let's see who wins and loses this time."
"My lord, I only had a thousand soldiers and horses a few months ago, and we were able to defeat the enemy many times the number of Duke Cheng. Now we have strong soldiers and horses, and our military strength is growing rapidly. At present, including farmers and soldiers, we have seven or eight thousand people, and there will be more in the future; we can still do it."
Are you afraid of someone named Yu?"
Zhang Ning would not get carried away after being bragged by his subordinates. He just looked at Ma Dapeng calmly and said, "Fan Laosi's matter has nothing to do with Ma Tiju. You don't need to ask about it anymore. For specific matters, I am planning to form a Guards Bureau.
, is responsible for collecting intelligence and managing internal problems. The Ordnance Bureau only needs to make good weapons. You must make all craftsmen understand that the things you make are for soldiers to use on the battlefield. If a blunderbuss cannot be fired, it will be extremely serious.
It may cause the soldiers who use it to die in front of the battle! The people in the weapons bureau are sweating, and the brothers on the battlefield are bleeding!"
After hearing this, Ma Dapeng hurriedly clasped his fists seriously and said: "I should be cautious."
Zhang Ning nodded with satisfaction and said: "In addition to matchlocks, mortars, short-range sub-cannons, and long-barreled heavy artillery, we must also step up the production. The musket formation is not indestructible, and we will not encounter the enemy's infantry charging tactics every time. Officers and soldiers
You will also learn from every experience. Logically speaking, the weakness of the musket array alone is very great, but if the equipment is equipped with enough artillery, cavalry, and the coordination of the three armies, the weakness will be very small."
His theory is based on historical experience. After the fifteenth century, the development speed of Western wars was obviously ahead. They had been engaged in melee warfare for several centuries on the European continent. The scale of wars was getting larger and larger. Many tactics were proven in actual combat.
Yes, that's why Zhang Ning thinks so. Humanity first fought with cold weapons, and later gave up the combat method of swords, guns, bows and arrows, and switched to guns and artillery. Even though black powder weapons have various shortcomings, it also illustrates this.
This kind of army is comprehensively stronger than archers, horses, cavalry and archers; if it is easy to be restrained, those countries will not choose it.
Zhang Ning's office suite is still full of all kinds of notes. He has to deal with a lot of things, because whether he does well or not is a matter of life and death. He doesn't want to put his success or failure in the hands of others; now these few rooms
There is a simple secretarial bureau in the room, and two women, Xu Wenjun and Fang Ling, are helping him organize some trivial matters and files. Outside is a hall, which is the famous Consultative Department of the Suzaku Army. This place used to be a warehouse.
Walking out of the "warehouse" is a courtyard. The whole courtyard used to be used as a warehouse. The Chenzhou government office is right next to it. In comparison, the official office as the central office is very inconspicuous in the corner; because the official office of the Suzaku Army is not
We don't handle civil affairs and cases, so there is no need for places like the lobby.
When he finished his work and left the official office at Youshi, he encountered an unpleasant thing.
From the carriage he was riding in, he accidentally saw his "fiancée" Zhou Mengxiong. This young lady probably didn't plan to go back before getting married. According to custom, the woman should be at her parents' house before getting married, waiting for the sedan chair to pick her up; but things were expedient, Zhou Mengxiong
The family is on Emperor Jianwen's side. The exact place where Emperor Jianwen lives is a secret. Even Yao Ji doesn't know for sure, so she can't go to her mother-in-law's house on Tuesday to celebrate the wedding.
At this time, Tuesday's mother was actually arguing with a vendor selling gadgets on the street. Zhang Ning didn't believe his eyes, but after a closer look, he felt that it was Tuesday's mother. He looked at the peach blossom fairy riding beside the carriage, and she also said coldly
Looking at Zhou Niang, judging from her eyes, she probably recognized the right person.
"Girl, what I do is a small business. You broke something but didn't buy it. Why do you want me to eat it?" The salesman was reasoning.
Tuesday's mother said angrily: "Your stuff is already broken! Why should I spend money on a useless gadget? Let's go!"
In desperation, the salesman grabbed Zhou Niang's sleeve, and she immediately shook her and cursed: "You dare to touch me, do you know who I am? Believe it or not, you can stop doing business?!"
"Girls are not short of money, so why don't they even admit such a trivial matter and insist on telling lies!"
Zhang Ning probably understood the situation, and didn't care who was right or wrong. He just felt that Zhou Niang had a real identity when she argued with the common people on the street. She didn't look like the upbringing of a general's family, but more like a little girl.
It's okay but I still want to bully others.
He was very depressed for a moment, thinking that when he saw her in the garden that day, he didn't hear her say a word, so he thought she was being reserved, but unexpectedly she was in this situation.
"Let's go." Zhang Ning put down the bamboo curtain on the carriage, knocked on the carriage and said. At this time, he heard another man's voice outside shouting: "Stop pestering Miss, how could she take advantage of you?" Zhang Ning said
Ning is no longer interested in watching the fun.
After returning to her residence, Peach Blossom Fairy left the guards and entered the house, gloating: "Ping An has really chosen a good wife."
"It's not my choice." Zhang Ning said angrily, "But I find it strange. I have gotten along with Zhou Mengxiong. This man is not only knowledgeable but also knowledgeable. How could he discipline his daughter like this?"
Fairy Peach Blossom sneered and said: "Do you think dragons and dragons are born and phoenixes are born? My father relied on his skills to make a living. Although he hid with Lord Jianwen, he still had status and status among the remaining ministers and had enough food and clothing. Naturally, his daughter was pampered and pampered.
.This kind of little lady who has been pampered since she was a child has never experienced any hardship or hardship in the world. She has to obey her in everything, and it is extremely difficult to serve her. If anyone does not obey, of course she will have an attack. It is normal. "
"What you said makes sense." Zhang Ning nodded. He thought that even in modern times, many people with good backgrounds are better than ordinary people because of their good educational resources. However, there is no shortage of them. My father is Li Gang. Who doesn't?
, is not necessarily directly related to one’s origin.
The next day, he couldn't help but ask Yao Ji about Tuesday's mother's character. Unexpectedly, Yao Ji said that she couldn't tell how smart she was, but she was well-behaved. Yao Ji even hinted to Zhang Ning, did he see it?
I don't want to go to someone else's house, I'm deliberately looking for excuses.
Zhang Ning hesitated for a moment, then emphasized hurriedly: "Everything will be arranged by the mother and concubine."
He gradually figured it out. He really didn't have the time to care about those troublesome things. Since it was a marriage, he valued a family alliance. What else could he ask for? At worst, he would marry her back and raise her. How did Zhou Mengxiong raise her for more than ten years? Zhang
Ning Ye should be able to support him. Anyway, he has no shortage of women.
Just keep an eye on everything.
So he no longer interfered with this matter and was only busy with the expansion of the Suzaku Army and preparations for war. Yao Ji was completely in charge of household affairs. Anyway, he said that "everything is arranged by the mother and concubine" and sent away the letter to Jianwen Jun. If there was a temporary change,
It's very troublesome and there is no need to go back on your word.
The marriage was not delayed and was carried out step by step. The main reason was to wait for Emperor Jianwen's reply. Although the matter was subject to authority and some customs could not be followed, Jianwenjun was the father and had to get his approval no matter what.
A few days later, Zhou Niang, who had never spoken or interacted with her, suddenly sent someone to invite Zhang Ning to meet.
