Daming Yinghua

Chapter 95 I'm Going to Make Money and Help You
"Bang, bang" sounded several times, and the water on the pond splashed and rose into the air. With the generous help of the sun, rainbows were transformed into rainbows.

The boys and girls by the pool cheered excitedly.

This is a course named "Gezhi" by Zheng Haizhu.

Today's class content is Lu Xiangsheng experimenting with the mines he learned from Wang Minghe's "Fire Attack Answers". Such exciting and fun games are naturally more attractive to children than the somewhat difficult geometric principles on paper.

Amidst the joyful sound, Zheng Haizhu came over and asked loudly: "Students, isn't Mr. Lu's torpedo powerful?"

"Well, Ms. Zheng, Mister is like Lei Gong in the playbook."

"You're not right. Mr. Lei is thundering in the sky. Mr. Lu is even more powerful than Mr. Lei. He can strike thunder underwater."

"Sir, please teach us how to make a chain boat, the kind that can sink a ship, teach us tomorrow?"

"Teach today, sir!"

"Yes, I will teach today, otherwise I don't even want to sleep."

Tall and short students surrounded Lu Xiangsheng who fished out the wreckage of the small wooden boat from the pond, tugging at his clothes and sleeves.

Sincere flattery, and earnest requests, keep coming.

Lu Xiangsheng seemed to be a mother cat covered with kittens, squeezed so tightly that she couldn't move, gentle and at a loss, she cast a look of help to Zheng Haizhu.

郑海珠暗笑，未来战场上把敌军揍得哭爹喊娘的“卢阎王”，此刻是个人见人爱的孩子王，实力演绎“感动大明的中小学教员”。

Zheng Haizhu went up to chase the children away, taking the opportunity to instill the importance of cultural lessons: "After leaving, we all go to poetry and prose classes. If Mr. Lu didn't learn Chinese and characters well before, where would he read books about firearms? Can you make such a powerful mine?"

She grabbed another boy with a sly face and said with a bluff, "Liu Daqiang, did you make Mr. Yao angry again yesterday? If you take the boys with you in the calligraphy class in the afternoon, I don’t have the patience of Mr. Yao to draw the big characters that should be written into various grenades and artillery. I’ll just kick you away, and you go home and draw your black ink ball. There are school rules, don’t you think I saw you Father respectfully call you Lord Liu, and you can make trouble on my mountain."

This boy is the son of Liu Butou, the government office, and he came to Zheng Haizhu's school together with his younger sister Liu Xiaomei.

Daqiang inherited his Lao Tzu's aura, knowing that in the school, whether it is the official family member Yao, the scholar's elder brother Lu Xiangsheng, or another old Confucian from sociology, and a teacher who is said to be sent by Xu Hanlin to teach geometry. Mr. Zheng, as well as several masters who taught labor skills, they are not as fierce as Miss Zheng.

Daqiang likes it here, but he doesn't want to be driven home by the kind-hearted Miss Zheng.

The young boy then solemnly promised not to dare to do anything wrong again, and called the students back to the classroom to spread paper and ink, and prepare for class.

When the poolside returned to tranquility, Zheng Haizhu smiled at Lu Xiangsheng: "Thank you, my lord, for agreeing to my unfeeling request to teach the children the development of firearms and the first theory of the art of war. It's taking up my study time."

Lu Xiangsheng lived in the library of the school for almost a month, and when he met the young woman in front of him, he was able to talk calmly and loosely.

"Miss Zheng, please don't be so polite. Your library, for Lu, is like a treasure land in a fairyland, and these dolls are like boys in the fairy world. When Lu reads military books, he loves to play with them."

When he said this, he leaned over to pick up the other two cow urine bubbles that were not filled with kerosene. After observing the details of the water seepage, he suddenly sighed sincerely: "Unfortunately, next year I will go to Nanjing for the rural examination..."

How could Zheng Haizhu fail to understand the meaning of being nostalgic for the library in his words, and hurriedly said: "How do you start with the two words? My son, now Daming is a civil servant in command of the army. Since you love the art of war, respect martial arts, and like firearms, you should It should be titled on the gold list and given an official position."

The corner of Lu Xiangsheng's mouth curled up slightly.

When Miss Zheng met for the first time, she knew that Chen was the long-term employee of the Han family. Only because the master's family was very generous and open-minded, and she was lucky enough to meet several nobles, she was able to leave the boudoir, open a school, and do business.

But Lu Xiangsheng clearly felt that this woman's insight, temperament and ability to perceive people's hearts are better than many groups who call themselves "lords, noblemen, Hongru, Shuyuan".

I only heard Zheng Haizhu say again: "However, it would be better if Mr. Lu could stay in Songjiang for a longer period of time. You will never realize it on paper, and you will never know that you have to meet a real person. General Ma will return to the capital, and I will ask him to pass it on. A letter to Xu Guangqi and Xu Hanlin. In the letter, I asked Xu Hanlin if I could find a former Yunnan general named Zhang Mingshi."

Lu Xiangsheng raised his eyebrows: "This general is..."

Zheng Haizhu said: "He is not from Yunnan, but from the Zhang family in Shanyin, Shaoxing. He is of the same family as the Zhang family who funded my school. However, he should be imprisoned now."

The Zhang Mingshi mentioned by Zheng Haizhu is the general who led two battalions of Zhe soldiers with Qi Jiguang's descendant Qi Jin during the Tianqi period in history, and was also a general of literati background.

Zhang Mingshi is very good at making firearms. According to historical records, after Liaodong governor Xiong Tingbi recommended him to be released from prison, he worked hard on the battlefield against Houjin and was a qualified bloody man.

These days, Lu Xiangsheng has often heard Zheng Haizhu bluntly express that he wants to set up another military school in the south of the Yangtze River, just like the Guozijian or famous academies for further education, to train young people who understand the art of war and firearms. "The word "is not surprising, it's just like I heard that it can strengthen Qin Liangyu before, so I became interested.

Unexpectedly, upon hearing it again, General Zhang Shen was in jail.

Zheng Haizhu also expressed helplessness: "Mr. Lu, General Zhang Shen suppressed the rebellion in the Miao tribe. He was read by the censor for several books. He didn't respond in time, and he killed the good and pretended to be meritorious. According to Shaoxing folks, I thought it was a frame-up, but the imperial court has imprisoned him for five years. General Zhang Shen is the best at making and using firearms. I have seen the firearms of the Frankies on the coast of Fujian, so I hope to be good at firearms My gentlemen can serve the imperial court. Coincidentally, General Ma is going to be the servant of the Minister of War, and the matchmaker is the admiral of Shenjiying. Isn’t Shenjiying just dealing with firearms? And Xu Hanlin always pays attention to firearms. So, I wrote this letter to Xu Hanlin, and told General Ma the whole story face to face, to see if I could run to rescue General Zhang.”

When Lu Xiangsheng heard this, even if he didn't look down on Zheng Haizhu, it was inevitable that he would suddenly show the look of "You think too simply".

Zheng Haizhu did not resist his instinctive reaction, but met Lu Xiangsheng's gaze more openly.

"Mr. Lu, I really like to think of everything simpler, and I have to try to do it when I think about it. What is slow, the city is deep, the edge is not exposed, the light is in the same dust, the wisdom is safe, and the good is accepted, these are in my opinion. Come on, it’s not a good word. It’s really useless for men to pursue these things. It’s best for us women not to follow suit.”

Lu Xiangsheng frowned, not because he was offended, but because he was thinking carefully.

It was the first time he heard that the official wisdom of "not showing one's edge" and "being in harmony with the light" was regarded as a hopeless argument.

Zheng Haizhu continued: "Mr. Lu, I am a merchant who sells goods. Before I say something and do something, I will not hesitate whether to make people laugh or cause trouble. I mention mine, and the other party can do it." Rejection. If I don’t refuse, it means that what I said and did is not so stupid. It means that there may be something to do with this matter. Even if it is impossible to rescue General Zhang Shen and get out of prison, I made a second request, whether I can visit General Zhang Shen We will hire you to come to Songjiang to research and develop firearms, and Mr. Lu can also participate in the details at that time."

Lu Xiangsheng looks gentle and handsome, but his nature is actually fierce.

He likes to take the initiative to attack with open fire, which is very different from those men who are either shady or cowardly.

At this moment, he savored a little bit, and he didn't think there was anything ridiculous in what Zheng Haizhu said.

So he said bluntly: "Miss Zheng is self-effacing. She is not stupid. You don't ask everyone you see. You must have been selected. Not only do you have a path that may lead you to Tianting, but you also have to be with you." It’s someone of the same path, like General Ma.”

Zheng Haizhu nodded unabashedly: "Sir, you are right. I admire Xianglin and trust Xianglin. A smart man from a family of military officials like him can only understand that when Nurhachi became a Khan last year, the court will need more and more Use soldiers and generals. Under the overthrow of the nest, there is no end. I wish I was a man, able to enter the imperial examination and lead the army with an official position. Unfortunately, I am not. I am a woman. Soldiers. I can only use the method I figured out on my own to do my best as a Ming citizen. This method is to earn money for General Qin, General Ma, General Zhang Shen, oh and Mr. Lu, you, I Help people like you. You must not let the people of Ming Dynasty be bullied and ravaged."

When Lu Xiangsheng heard the last word, he suddenly felt as if he had been knocked on the chest. It was neither sharp nor heavy, but the lingering sound was clear.

The 17-year-old Lu Xiangsheng has a family, has a mentor, has been selected as a scholar, has traveled to the south of the Yangtze River, and has read a large number of books other than the Four Books and Five Classics. He is already considered the best among young people in the Ming Dynasty.

But the plain and simple woman in front of him, with quiet eyes, used plain and crisp language, causing his thoughts to start on the axis of time, suddenly abandoning the current situation, and galloping forward.

"I'll get money to help you. You can't teach the people of Ming Dynasty to be bullied and ravaged."

Such a simple sentence conveys the most difficult ambition and the most difficult expectation dedicated to men.

Lu Xiangsheng did not expect that his confusion about studying literature and martial arts, his sense of the future crisis of the empire, and his plan for the future of life would be figured out by a member of the group who had never looked at him head-to-head.

He squinted his eyes in the sparkling water of the pool.

He seems to be traveling in the clouds, but also down-to-earth.

"Sister Azhu..."

A soft female voice, as if trying to swallow tea, suddenly sounded behind Lu Xiangsheng and Zheng Haizhu.

The two turned their heads, and saw Han Ximeng's cousin, Han Xiying, standing shoulder to shoulder with Gu's eldest daughter-in-law, Shen Shi, at the Moon Cave Gate.
