Chapter four hundred and eighty seventh beautiful pattern
The news about Zheng Qia was immediately reported to Wuchang, and Zhang Ning was overjoyed. Yang Shiqi secretly felt that he was planning state affairs in the court back then, but he seemed to be lagging behind in Yunnan.
But looking back, there is no better way. Only the Mu family is the most suitable to guard Yunnan. The prestige accumulated over the years can shock those areas that have not yet been civilized. For the sake of national strategy, we can only make compromises and indulge in internal struggles.
The person with the problem.
Opening up territory has always been the achievement that the Ming Dynasty longed for, but it is easy to conquer territory, but difficult to hold and digest it. The imperial court even wanted to peek into Jiaozhi, and it would not let places like Yunnan and Liaodong degrade that had already achieved results. The coup that took advantage of the internal struggle for the throne in Jiaozhi
, the imperial court used troops in the name of openly and honestly combating the illegal and unjust seizure of the throne. In fact, it had achieved a decisive victory in the battle. However, in the later period, the ruling policy was too hasty and aggressive, which caused rebellions everywhere, resulting in the situation that cannot be dealt with today.
Yang Shiqi is writing such unpublished articles, which are some words inspired by the events in Yunnan... He is very idle at the moment. He even started to discuss the issue of the expansion of the Central Plains dynasty from the Tang Dynasty, thinking that the Tang Dynasty
The restraint policy should let future generations learn lessons. Such a policy expanded the territory for a while, but could not hold it. Only by using population and royal education as follow-up policies can we continue to expand the territory left by our ancestors.
Yang Shiqi even secretly sent his articles on the Tang Dynasty to Jiangxi to exchange ideas with his favorite disciple Yu Qian. Yu Qian has been very busy recently, but as a scholar-official, Yang Shiqi taught him in the letter that he should not be completely entangled in worldly affairs, but should never stop learning.
exploration.
Yu Qian made supplements to Yang Shiqi's article, which was actually explaining some of his own views. Yu Qian believes that the art of restraint cannot be completely abandoned, as the process of opening up territory and finally occupying it is too slow to achieve results; and there are also advantages to expansion through other methods.
Therefore, the prestige of the Tang Dynasty could be broadcast all over the world very quickly. Another approach was that the Ming Dynasty spent all its efforts to sail to the West, but it did not achieve better results in promoting its prestige.
Yang Shiqi will not be bothered by this kind of "opposition" to himself. He believes that good students should not only inherit the teacher's knowledge, but also have their own thinking.
Yang Shiqi kills time by doing this kind of thing. He is in the position of chief assistant, but his power here is not good, but he understands that everything should be calm. When the King of Xiang Group gradually takes over the territory of the King of Yan,
As long as there is no major purge and massacre here, and the original governance system needs to be rearranged, Yang Shiqi believes that his abilities will be reflected at that time.
...Zhang Ning heard that the copper in Yunnan was of very good quality and was a good raw material for making artillery. Solving the raw material problem really made him happy for a while. But behind the joy, there was also a vague worry, and he had to think about it a lot.
Sometimes he felt like he was becoming suspicious.
Everything was ready, and Zhu Heng took charge of the Ministry of War and began to deploy the strategy of building the navy. This major event was beyond the authority of Jiangxi Governor Yu Qian to organize it. Because it not only included shipbuilding and gun building, but gun building required the Ordnance Bureau to send people directly to Jiangxi;
It also includes a series of matters such as recruitment arrangements, training, and testing of soldiers. Zhu Heng is delineating the tasks of each branch, and it will take some time to put various matters on the agenda.
Zhang Ning is thinking about another thing. He wants to establish a military school in Wuchang and personally train the newly selected generals of the Navy. This will allow the Navy generals to have the status of their own disciples as soon as they take office, and further exert influence on the military.
Influence beyond fame.
This idea was born out of inexplicable psychological pressure. Within the entire power group, the officials from all parties are very experienced, which makes him defensive and afraid of being deceived and teased; but the unsophisticated officials are afraid that their ability and prestige are not enough.
However, despite such a low mood, Zhang Ning often feels very relaxed and relaxed. He plans to redesign the navy uniform according to his own preferences... The power makes him feel like a king. What do he want to change and create here?
Whatever you want, you can destroy whatever you want.
At this time, he thought he could dominate everything and conquer everything, and his ambition was ignited.
Suddenly he saw water stains on the paper. He turned around and saw a strange maid standing next to him. He didn't need to be angry, but the maid was so frightened that she knelt down and begged for mercy. When Zhao Erniang heard the sound, she hurriedly said: "Today Xu
Madam (Wenjun) was not feeling well and did not come. I was afraid that there were not enough manpower, so I called someone to come over to help, but he was clumsy."
"Raise your head." Zhang Ning said.
The maid raised her head to look at him tremblingly. The passerby had a face with her shoulders hunched as if she was afraid of being beaten.
"You did something wrong, I can punish you, or even kill you!" Zhang Ning said in a fierce tone. He remembered a behavior he had experienced somewhere.
She hurriedly cried: "Please have mercy, Your Majesty, I will never dare to do this again."
Zhang Ning regained his composure and said: "I can also forgive you with just one sentence. Just go down." He waved his hand, and he seemed to be still savoring a subtle feeling.
Upon seeing this, Zhao Erniang silently watched Zhang Ning's performance with curious eyes. After only a short time in the cabinet study, she gradually learned more about Zhang Ning and found that he was often very strange and difficult to understand.
He glanced at Zhao Erniang and continued to look at the badge pattern drawn on the paper.
The clothes of naval officers and soldiers should not be distinguished by color. He once imagined the white uniforms of the modern navy, but quickly rejected this idea because the naval warships at this time were powered by humans, animals or wind power, with limited displacement and limited space.
, a bunch of people are crowded together and the conditions are poor, and they have to do a lot of physical work. It's a pain in the ass to wear that kind of clothes. It's best to wear them. And it's also the Suzaku Army Yongding Camp, and there are two colors of clothes.
Honor guards often wear cyan coats.
So he planned to use badge patterns to distinguish the soldiers of each battalion. The patterns could be embroidered on the collars. However, epaulettes were useless. Sometimes soldiers would wear armor during battles, and it would be inconvenient to have a hard thing on their shoulders.
While Zhao Erniang was changing tea again, she curiously took a look at what Zhang Ning had been drawing here for a long time, and saw a ship drawn with very crude lines on the paper, with a flag on it. She almost didn't laugh.
Come on, how dare he draw something like this when he has been free for so long?
Zhang Ning noticed something, raised his head and said seriously: "Isn't this picture good-looking?"
Zhao Erniang gritted her teeth and nodded: "It's quite beautiful."
After hearing this, Zhang Ning decided to show this picture to Zhu Heng and ordered him to prepare navy uniforms. All officers and soldiers should have this pattern embroidered on their collars. Senior generals should use yellow thread and soldiers should use red thread.
