Chapter 124 Lin Mojun’s Request
Today, Lin Mojun in the Hundred Household Office was not wearing a military uniform, but a set of loose casual clothes.
Lin Mojun tied up her hair with a hairpin. Although Lin Mojun still covered her face, she looked a little less heroic than usual.
Su Ze also found it a bit incredible that Lin Baihu was the daughter of Baihu.
However, now that the Japanese pirates are serious in the southeast of the imperial court, the vacancies of hundreds and thousands of households in many health centers cannot be supplemented. After the death of the previous Lin Baihu in the battle, the Dusi Yamen and Haido Yamen of Fuzhou Prefecture were actually feeling bad. They watched Paoze rescue Fuzhou Prefecture. But they were massacred by Japanese pirates. The command of the whole city made thousands of households dare not go out of the city to rescue them.
Therefore, the Lin family's application for Lin Mojun to temporarily act as Baihu's deputy was sent directly to the Ministry of War for filing without the Dusi Yamen sending anyone to verify it.
Lin Mojun's idea was also very simple. When Lin Liangjun came of age in two years and faked his death in battle, he could give his position in Baihu to his younger brother.
For those who are familiar with Changning Guard, if Lin Mojun and his brother continue to serve as one of the hundred households in the guard, and ensure that the Lin family continues to inherit the hundred households, then Changning Guard will be able to have peace of mind.
If a dishonest person really comes from the distant sect, Changning Wei will really not be able to survive.
Su Ze entered the Hundred Household Office, and Lin Mojun handed Su Ze a letter and a book.
"This is the military document and letter sent by my uncle. I have something to discuss with Mr. Su."
Military document?
Su Ze is preparing to upgrade his "Art of War" skill to level five, and someone is giving him a pillow because he is sleepy?
Military books are hard to find, and the Ming Dynasty's attitude toward military books was sometimes prohibitive and sometimes loose.
In the early days of the dynasty, the control of military books was naturally very strict, but with the development of the times, the management of military books was not so strict.
However, there are still very few military books on the market. The reason is also very simple. Who has nothing to do to buy military books?
There were martial arts examiners in the Ming Dynasty, but those who could take the martial arts examinations were those who were noble military guards and were at least children of a thousand families.
These people all have military books passed down from their families, but why would ordinary scholars buy military books if they have nothing to do?
It’s not profitable to print this thing, and the pirated booksellers in Jianyang don’t like printing it.
But by the end of the Ming Dynasty, things changed again.
The situation in the late Ming Dynasty was turbulent, and scholars also liked to buy some military books so that they could deal with national issues.
Many scholars who had never led soldiers also began to write military books, using their own imaginary strategies to gain fame.
Under such a trend, the slogan of the thirty years of peace and stability in the early years of Chongzhen was compressed into three years of peace and stability. Various "pacification and stabilization policies" and "pacification policies" were piled on the emperor's desk.
From the Jiajing to Wanli years, some scholars began to write their own military books, but the military books at this time were still very valuable.
When I looked at the title of the book, I saw it was "Summary Essentials of the Continuing Martial Arts Classic".
Su Ze suddenly became interested!
"Wu Jing Zong Yao" is a military work compiled by officials in the Northern Song Dynasty. Throughout the Song Dynasty, it was an important military book guiding the officials and troops of the Song Dynasty.
This "Summary of Martial Arts Classics" is not a pirated bookseller's "The New Chapter of Duo Neng Shi Shi" in bookstores, but a serious military book!
This book is a serious art of war book co-authored by Yu Dayou, a famous general in the Ming Dynasty, and his mentor Zhao Benxue!
Su Ze looked at Lin Mojun and asked: "The surname of Shibo from Baihu is Yu?"
Lin Mojun looked at Su Ze in confusion and asked: "Do you know Yu Shibo?" Su Ze said
sincerely: "I have long admired your name!" Lin Mojun looked at Su Ze in
confusion and asked: "Do you know Yu Shibo?" Mo Jun was a little confused. He, Yu Shibo, was indeed famous in Fujian, but he was only famous in the health system. Su Ze, a scholar, also knew about it?
Lin Mojun said: "Yu Shibo and my father are old friends, but he was transferred out of Fujian after he won the martial arts examination. It was only this year that I learned about the death of his father in the war." Su Ze opened the letter, which was written by Yu Dayou to the Lin family
. His family letters were only addressed to Lin Liangjun.
Yu Dayou has been fighting against the Japanese in Zhejiang for the past two years. He only learned about Lin Baihu's death in the battle at the beginning of this year.
He didn't know about Lin Mojun's inheritance, so this letter was written to his old friend's son, Lin Liangjun.
The content of the letter was naturally to encourage Lin Liangjun to practice martial arts and study hard, and to inherit his father's military position and serve the country in the future.
In order to encourage Lin Liangjun, his nephew, Yu Dayou also sent the military book he was writing to Lin Liangjun, which was very well-intentioned.
In addition, Yu Dayou also talked about the current situation of Zhejiang's anti-Japanese war.
It was May when I wrote the letter. The Japanese pirates captured Putuo and even invaded Hangzhou, the most popular area in Zhejiang. Now the court really couldn't sit still.
Even the strict party that controlled the government was under great pressure from the Jiajing Emperor and was not allowed to appoint Zhang Jing, a Fuzhou native with rich military experience, as the governor of the seven provinces of Jiangnan, Jiangbei, Zhejiang, Shandong, Fujian, and Guangdong and Guangxi. Japanese pirates.
Zhang Jing once put down rebellions in Guangxi, Guangdong, Qiongzhou (Hainan) and other places. Although he was a civil servant, he had rich experience in commanding troops.
This veteran minister went to Zhejiang at the age of sixty-three. As soon as he took office, he showed an attitude of working hard to govern. He authorized his subordinates such as Yu Dayou and other generals, and also allocated money, food, and soldiers to concentrate on fighting the Japanese.
Yu Dayou's letter is full of hope for the future. This Zhang Jinglue really understands military affairs!
Nowadays, there is a game of chess in seven provinces, and with the support of the imperial court's money and food, Yu Dayou even believed in his letter that the Japanese rebellion can be quelled in one or two years!
Su Ze sighed and could only say that Yu Dayou is still too naive now. He understands military affairs but not politics.
This Zhang Jing was a famous anti-Japanese minister, he did know military matters, and he was deeply loved by his generals.
However, in the historical timeline before Su Ze traveled through time, Zhang Jing, who had made great achievements in pacifying the Japanese in the southeast, was arrested by Emperor Jiajing on May 16, the 34th year of Jiajing. On October 29 of the same year, he was executed in Xishi together with Li Tianchong and Yang Jisheng.
It's just that Yu Dayou, who is now full of morale, and Zhang Jing, who has just arrived in Zhejiang to take charge of the Japanese affairs, do not know their future fate. At this time, Zhejiang's war against the Japanese did have the dawn of a counterattack.
Lin Mojun hesitated for a while and said to Su Ze: "Mr. Su, Yu Shibo's fight against the Japanese in Zhejiang is related to the peace of the people of Zhejiang and nine provinces. I want to write to him and teach him the mandarin duck formation and the training method of the bird gunner. , what do you think?"
It turned out to be this.
Su Ze suddenly realized that it was no wonder that Lin Mojun called him here and showed him her family letter. It turned out that he wanted to ask for the training manuals for the Yuanyang Formation and the Bird Gun Team.
Su Ze said before that his military tactics came from "Wu Mu's Suicide Note". Although Lin Mojun didn't know why Wu Mu's Suicide Note contained a training manual for muskets, these are Su Ze's "family" tactics. If not, With Su Ze's consent, she couldn't tell others at will.
Lin Mojun wanted to help Yu Dayou fight against the Japanese, so if he wanted to teach him the training manual of the Yuanyang Formation and the Bird Gun Team, he had to get Su Ze's consent first.
Su Ze thought for a while and said: "The imperial court does not have muskets in Zhejiang, but the Japanese have many muskets. The training methods of muskets should not be leaked."
Lin Mojun thought for a while, and agreed with Su Ze's statement with a low expression.
Su Ze added: "But the Yuanyang Formation is a powerful weapon for fighting against the Japanese. Hundreds of households can tell Commander Yu exactly how to use the Yuanyang Formation."
Lin Mojun looked at Su Ze in surprise, and she said in surprise: "Is it really possible?"
Su Ze nodded and said, "If Yue Wu and Mu Quan know that his formation is used to fight against Japanese invaders, they will definitely agree with my decision." "Soldiers are a major matter for the country, and the art of war is also the country's top priority. Important events should not be passed down lightly, but they should not be cherished and kept in a high cabinet as secrets." "
The Yuanyang Formation is useful for Japanese warfare. Teaching it to General Yu will definitely kill more Japanese pirates. It will definitely be more useful than hiding in Changning Guard."
Lin Mojun . He stood up and said, "Thank you, Mr. Su."
Su Ze took the "Summary of Martial Arts Sutra" and asked, "Lin Baihu, can you give me a look at this military book?"
Lin Mojun said quickly, "Mr. Let’s go and see.”
He received a copy of the military book.
Su Ze also didn't expect that the little Chang Ningwei would be related to Yu Dayou, but Yu Dayou was also from a military household in Fujian, so it was normal for him to know the previous Baihu.
As famous anti-Japanese generals, Yu Dayou and Qi Jiguang both fought in Zhejiang, and they were called Yu Long and Qi Hu by later generations.
I don’t know if Su Ze taught Yu Dayou the Yuanyang Formation in advance. Can it change the anti-Japanese situation of the Ming Dynasty?
Su Ze quickly shook his head. The collapse of the situation in the southeast had little to do with the war.
After Zhang Jing arrived in Zhejiang, he did a lot of things to prepare the army for war. However, under the arrangement of Emperor Jiajing's balancing act, in the thirty-fourth year of Jiajing, Zhao Wenhua from Yan Song's party was assigned to inspect Zhejiang.
As soon as Zhao Wenhua arrived in Zhejiang, he asked Zhang Jing for a bribe of 80,000 taels, but Zhang Jing naturally couldn't give it. Zhao Wenhua hated Zhang Jing and often wrote bad things about Zhang Jing.
In the thirty-fourth year of Jiajing's reign, Zhang Jing and Yu Dayou won a great victory at Wangjiangjing. Zhao Wenhua took credit for it, and together with Hu Zongxian, he falsely accused Zhang Jing of "losing the opportunity to support the bandits", causing Zhang Jing's death in vain.
He also falsely accused Li Tianchong, the governor of Zhejiang, who was also killed in vain, and Hu Zongxian was recommended as his replacement.
He also discussed the governors Zhou Jun, Yang Yi and others one after another, confounded their merits and crimes, and restrained the military. As the Japanese power became more and more fierce, they responded with defeat in return for victory.
From then on, Wang Jiangjing clearly achieved a great victory and killed more than 2,000 Japanese pirates, but the Japanese rebellion in the southeast continued.
Even if Yu Dayou could fight, the upper-level party faction and the corruption of the Jiajing Dynasty would be enough to ruin any military victory.
After understanding this, Su Ze simply put away his thoughts of luck and just read military books every day to train soldiers, or practice calligraphy and imperial examination skills. In his free time, he inspected Changning Wei's water conservancy facilities and newly reclaimed wasteland, and guided the people of Changning Wei in planting. Potato.
The skills of "Water Conservancy", "Farming", "Shooting" and "Imperial Examination" have all increased.
The art of war skill has also increased to Lv4, 320/400, and the calligraphy skill has also increased to Lv4, 60/400.
Literary skills have increased to Level 4 and will no longer increase after 20/400. It seems that the second issue of "Surprise" will be released as soon as possible.
After reaching Literature Level 4, Su Ze had some more content from famous articles in his mind, but they were still short stories. Su Ze was also thinking about what content to copy in order to make up the second issue of the newspaper.
This time I go to the city at the end of the month to set up the editorial department of "The Surprise". Except for the first page, the remaining pages will finally be submitted by local readers. Otherwise, Su Ze will brush up his literary skills to Lv4, and it will be done very quickly. Eviscerated.
Before entering the city at the end of the month, the newly reclaimed land had been measured. Su Ze handed over the field register to his grandfather, handed over the new water conservancy map to the ancestral hall, and awarded the newly reclaimed wasteland to the people who had been working in Changning Wei for a month. surrendered to the Montenegrin bandits.
These Black Mountain bandits burst into tears of gratitude. They were ordinary people who were carried up the mountain. Those Black Mountain bandits who had killed people and done evil were all escorted to the county town.
After acquiring the land, these Black Mountain bandits completely settled down in Changning Guard, and they became more motivated to work.
During this period, Sun Dianshi and Beishan Village both sent young men, and Lin Mojun sent a small flag to build a new military camp in Changning Wei.
Zhu Qi's Yanding, Xiong Wu's Luohan Jiao, and the Black Mountain bandits who surrendered this time also practiced with these young men during the monthly slack time.
Lin Mojun did not expect these ragtag groups to go into battle to kill the enemy. He only trained them in simple military discipline and some patrol and reconnaissance skills, and only let them serve as reserve and joint defense teams.
After finishing the matter with Changning Guard, at the end of June, Su Ze rode the horse borrowed from Hai Rui and headed for Nanping County.
Unexpectedly, Su Ze saw Yu Zongyuan's familiar face just when he arrived at the gate of the county town.
Su Ze was not shy about his enthusiasm towards this number one angel investor. Before he could go up to say hello, he saw Second Young Master Yu rushing over to him enthusiastically when he saw him.
It turned out that Yu Zongyuan was waiting for him at the city gate.
The second young master Yu was very enthusiastic. He pulled Su Ze and said,
"Brother Su! It's so hard for you to hide this from me!"
Su Ze was confused. He only heard the second young master Yu say:
"I didn't expect you to be able to do it again." Writing a play, do you know how popular "Du Shiniang Sinks the Treasure Box in Fury" is now? I have been waiting for you at the city gate for half a day, just to beg you for this!"
Play?
Su Ze then remembered that he had authorized Mr. Tuo Hu to adapt the novel into a Southern opera. Who would have thought that Mr. Tuo Hu would act so quickly?
After listening to Yu Zongyuan's words, Su Ze finally knew the whole story.
He Liangjun is indeed a famous opera master. After he returned to the county town in the middle of the month, he stayed behind closed doors for three days and changed "Du Shiniang's Furious Sinking of the Treasure Box" from a novel to a southern opera.
Immediately afterwards, Mr. Tuohu led the family's theater troupe to rehearse. Mr. Tuohu personally taught the opera to the actors and the music score to the musicians, and the play was put together in less than seven days.
The wife of Baizhi County in Nanping loved going to the theater, so she asked Mr. Tuohu to perform the first performance in her back house.
The result was naturally a hit!
The county magistrate was full of praise. All dignitaries, gentry and landowners in Nanping County invited Mr. Tuohu's troupe to sing at their homes.
Because the imperial court did not publicly lift the ban on operas, the Zaju Nan operas these days were basically performed at home, and relatives and friends would also be invited to watch the opera at home (see Dream of Red Mansions).
Mr. Tuohu continued to receive invitations and became the most popular person in the literary and artistic circles of Nanping County.
Yu Zongyuan's mother, Commander Yu's wife, was celebrating her birthday and wanted to invite Mr. Tuohu to perform at home, but Mr. Tuohu refused.
The reason is naturally simple. Because of his ancestor's incident, the Yu family has a bad reputation among scholars. Although he is a third-grade capital commander, Mr. Tuohu's rejection of him only increased his reputation among scholars.
Nowadays, the elite and the military are humble, but Yan Maoqing is still in the Qing army in Fujian. He suffered huge insults as a commander, but he could only grit his teeth and swallow it.
These days, Mr. Tuohu is out promoting the play, which is based on Su Ze's novel. Yu Zongyuan had an idea and waited at the city gate for Su Ze to enter the city for school.
Su Ze frowned and said: "This is not easy to handle."
Yu Zongyuan quickly begged: "Brother Su, I am also filial, I hope you will fulfill it!"
Looking at his number one angel investor, Su Ze said: "Let me think of another way."
