The legend of the king of crossing

Chapter 518

Concubine Yang gave birth to a son.Quan Jiu is also pregnant.It seems that the population of the Zhao family has begun to prosper.Under the joy.It took a while.I just remembered.There is also a memorial.

"This is a memorial from the Government Affairs Council. Linger, read it."

"En." Fang Ling took the memorial from me and said: "Report to the emperor. The time was announced on July [-]th in the fifth year of Xianchun. He Jihe, a bachelor of Xianwen Pavilion and president of Lin'an University, passed away due to illness. He was eight years old. Ten to one."

"He Aiqing." I froze for a moment.said sadly. "It's only been postponed for half a year."

He Ji in history died in December 1268.This is what I mean by the half-year delay.certainly.Yuan Ji, Fang Ling and the others who were present did not know what happened.

Although Fang Ling met He Ji.But before amnesia.There was no contact after that.Therefore, all he knew was that He Ji was the president of Lin'an University.Others are not very clear. "Brother. Below this memorial is a letter written by Mr. He before he died." Fang Ling said again.

"Really. Read it."

Fang Ling read in a low voice: "Veteran He Ji deeply feels that time is short. Your Majesty is thousands of miles away. I can't see Shengyan again. It's a pity. I am loved by Your Majesty. When I was old, I was appointed as the president of Lin'an University. This new type of university is the first in the history. It is really the wave of the future. It should be a model of education in our dynasty. It should be promoted. In this way. In less than ten years, the students of the university can take on the important task of revitalizing our dynasty. The old minister should be smiling. Shen Yiqiu, the vice president of Lin'an University, has both ability and political integrity. Loyalty can be learned from. I suggest that he can succeed the principal. After the minister, he will be buried with a scholar's ceremony. No official ceremony. I only hope that your majesty will recover the Central Plains as soon as possible. ZTE I am the Great Song Dynasty. Minister He Ji. On the night of July [-]rd in the fifth year of Xianchun."

I don't have much contact with He Ji.But I am very impressed by his character and knowledge.He Ji is a solid scholar.There are Han Confucianism; clarify and play.Many innovative ideas.What I admire the most is.He Ji learned from Zhu Xi.But he is not a person who lives on the past.Have the courage to explore new things.In the year of Jinzhang Dynasty ([-]s), he accepted the post of president of Lin'an University, which focuses on new education.I thought for a while and said: "Gongsun Xiaochen. Pass on my will. Order Zhao Shun and Sun Zhao Aiqing of the Government Affairs Council to inform Wen Aiqing of Lin'an. He Aiqing was named the Duke of Korea. His posthumous posthumous title was Wending. A temple was built in his hometown Jinhua Mansion for future generations to look up to. At the same time To commemorate He Aiqing's contribution to the education of our dynasty, I have decided to set the recruitment date for Lin'an University and other new universities that will be opened in the future on July [-]th every year."

"Yes. Your Majesty."

Lu Xiufu said: "Your Majesty, Mr. He is a famous person in our dynasty. He is also a current official in the court. Will he be buried according to the official ceremony of the court?"

I shook my head and said, "No need. Just follow He Aiqing's dying intentions. Let's bury her with the etiquette of a scholar."

"Yes. Your Majesty."

Three days later.Tian Xiuyan, Duan Donglou and hundreds of Yunnan Xingfu Army arrived in Xiangyang.I listened carefully to Tian and Duan's report on the entire Yunnan campaign.He also praised Duan Heng's "benevolent deed" and the achievements of all the soldiers of the Southwest Military Region.For the meaning of the revival army going north.Of course I understand.Then he ordered the Xingfu Army to join the army in the middle of the Northern Expedition.Still under the command of Duan Donglou.Duan Donglou was named the captain of Shangqingche.Lead from the fourth rank.Specific military officials will be appointed when the Central Northern Expedition Army is formally formed.

night.At the banquet for Duan Donglou and his party.Duan Donglou presented a letter from Duan Heng to me and said, "Your Majesty, this is a letter written by Prince Duan to the Emperor."

I took the letter and saw it.Its content is very simple.The general idea is to thank me for driving the Mongols out of Yunnan.And expressed the heart of submitting to the Song Dynasty.Last mention.He hopes to send people to study in two universities in Lin'an.To reserve talents for the future development of Yunnan Province.

After reading it, I immediately expressed my opinion: "General Duan. You reply to Prince Duan. Let him send 20 people from each to study at Lin'an University and Lin'an Military University. For specific matters, let them go to Tian Zuiyan from the Ethnic Affairs Department after they arrive in Lin'an."

Duan Donglou said happily: "Yes. Finally, I will thank the emperor on behalf of Prince Duan."

"To build Yunnan well, a large number of local talents are naturally needed. Yunnan is a remote province with many ethnic groups. Although it is relatively backward, it still has a lot of resources. As long as a good method is found, it should soon become rich. Wait for this group of people After graduating from university. A similar university can be established in Yunnan. It is dedicated to cultivating talents for the local area.”

"It's better like this." Duan Donglou said. "The last general thanked the emperor for his kindness on behalf of the people of all ethnic groups in Yunnan."

I smile.Then he said to Tian Xiuyan: "Xiuyan. You will stay in Xiangyang. Together with Gongsun Xiaochen, you will serve as the military counselor. Follow me in the Northern Expedition."

"Yes. Your Majesty. The final general will obey the order."

"En. Generals. You have worked hard all the way. Eat well today and rest well. From tomorrow onwards, we will train according to our army's training methods. Rejuvenate the army. Not only to revive Yunnan, but also to revive our Song Dynasty. "I raised my glass and said. "Come on. Drink this cup. I believe that the Xingfu Army will definitely become an invincible iron army in our Great Song army."

July 23rd and 24th.I have successively received eight hundred li urgent reports from Li Tingzhi, the commander of the Jianghuai Military Region.

The first report was forwarded to Yin Yinglei.Li Tingzhi said in the report.A few days ago, I received news from Longya, Jinan Prefecture.The Ministry of India and Thunder is heading towards Liaocheng at the junction of Shandong, Henan and Hebei provinces.Yin Yinglei said humanely.Please rest assured, Your Majesty.He will implement His Majesty's guerrilla spirit.

Although Yin Yinglei said it lightly.But I know the difficulty of going deep alone.Later generations of Liu Deng's army withstood severe tests in the struggle in the Dabie Mountains.And paid a heavy price for it.Only half of the personnel were lost.

For the Ministry of India should mine.Because it is impossible to get in touch.There is nothing I can do about it.I can only pray to God to bless me.No matter how difficult it is.At least I know that Yin Yinglei is still alive.In any case, this report is good news.

The content of the second report was something I hadn't thought of at all.After reading it, I was taken aback.

Luzhou Mansion Arms Depot was stolen a few days ago.Five muskets and dozens of rounds of ammunition disappeared.As top secret.Only Miao Zaicheng, the defender of Luzhou, and Shi Yuqi, the commander of the No. 14 box, had the right to enter and leave the secret place where the muskets were placed.Shi Yuqi also disappeared at the same time.According to the armory guard.At 45:[-] pm ([-]:[-] pm) on the date of the incident.Shi Yuqi took out the musket from the library.The guard at the north gate of Luzhou also said.Shi Yuqi said that he went out of the city to test the gun.At the end of Shenshi (five o'clock in the afternoon) before the city gate closed, he left the city gate together with several people in civilian clothes.After that, he never returned.

That night.General Miao Zaicheng, who had finished patrolling the city defenses, held a nightly parade meeting.Only then did I realize that Shi Yuqi was missing.After finding out the situation.General Miao Zaicheng immediately reported to Yangzhou.And sent people out of the city to search all the way north.until the next morning.Shi Yuqi's whereabouts were not found either.

Shi Yuqi is upright.No bad habits.Always act low-key.The relationship with the lieutenant soldiers is also very harmonious.He is quite respected by the officers and soldiers of the Fourteenth Chamber.Therefore, General Miao Zaicheng ruled out many possibilities.Think the most likely is.Shi Yuqi is a Mongolian masterpiece.because.Only Kublai Khan was most eager to get the musket.

Impression of Shi Yuqi.I'm still quite deep.He was born in martial arts.In his martial arts exam.I have personally seen the battle between him and Ouyang Jianqing.Later joined the Forbidden Army.Follow Xiagui to Luzhou.In the first battle of Anfeng, Li had military exploits.In addition, Shi Yuqi leads the army well.Within a few years, he was promoted to commander of the box.

"For a few muskets, I gave up my hard-earned position as a general. It seems that Kublai Khan attaches great importance to firearms."

"Brother. Compared with firearms, the role of the box commander is of course far inferior."

"Oh, really."

"As far as Kublai Khan is concerned, if he can't crack the firearms of our dynasty, he will definitely lose. Therefore, it can be said that Shi Yuqi will play a role in at least one point. But firearms are a major issue related to the whole situation."

"Ling'er said it very well. This is the relationship between point and surface. But, firearms are not so easy to crack."

"Brother. Don't underestimate it. It may not be possible to crack it in the short term. But the Yuan Dynasty has a vast territory. Naturally, there are many capable craftsmen among them. It is still possible to imitate."

"Imitation. This is very possible." I, who came from later generations, naturally have no doubts about the ability of Chinese people to imitate.I smiled. "Just imitating firearms is not an easy task. Just the gunpowder formula used in muskets is enough to make Kublai Khan toss for a while. Gongsun Xiaochen."

"The end is here."

"Go and call General Xia Gui, General Wang Sheng, General Bian Juyi, General Zhu Huan and General Jiang Cai."

"Yes. Your Majesty."

As Shi Yuqi's boss and colleague.Xia Gui, Wang Sheng and Bian Juyi were all shocked when they found out that the musket had been stolen.It never occurred to them.This matter is actually related to Shi Yuqi.But Zhu Huan and Jiang Cai didn't know Shi Yuqi because they didn't know each other.But his face was as usual.

"It's true that you know people and faces but don't know your heart." Xia Gui sighed. "Your Majesty. Shi Yuqi is a young hero in our Jianghuai army. He and his son Xia Qing are also known as Luzhou Twin Heroes. They are also people who are very optimistic about the last general. What a pity, what a pity. Hey."

Wang Sheng said: "Kublai Khan arranged such a pawn a few years ago. It can be seen that he has good intentions. It's okay. The incident happened ahead of time."

Bian Juyi said: "Your Majesty, General Miao's judgment may be the only reason why Shi Yuqi stole the musket. If this is true, it only shows that Kublai Khan's desire to decipher our firearm has reached the point of impatience." .”

"Yes. The battle of Xiangyang. Our army's firearms showed great power. Cannons, muskets, and throwing bombs. They defeated the Yuan army. Morale was low. If Kublai Khan can't find a countermeasure. In my opinion, he will Only to die."

Jiang Cai, who had seen the power of firearms with his own eyes, said, "Your Majesty, it would be great if all our troops were equipped with firearms."
