Ping An Biography

The first time Fang Ling saw Zhang Ning, she first showed surprise, and then whispered softly, pretending to be resentful: "If life is just like seeing Zhang Ning at first, what is the autumn wind and sad painting fan... The prince finally remembered me, or Yao Did Madam call you here?"

Zhang Ning said decisively, "I want to come myself."

Fang Ling said again: "I didn't even expect you to come, I should prepare a bit, and dress casually, hey..."

But seeing her wearing a light shirt and white dress, although it is old, it is also simple and elegant. Zhang Ning really can't see the difference between her well-dressed occasions, such as walking around Yao Ji's place, and now. Fang Ling probably pays too much attention to details. It is precisely those places that it is difficult for Zhang Ning to pay attention to.Her boudoir is brightly decorated, with multicolored bead curtains, red curtains, and even the cushions on the chairs are made of satin.Everyone has external preferences. Fang Ling is in the mood of "big plain and small glamorous" and "outer plain and inner glamorous". Her clothes are always plain. Wearing filial piety is the same; but the nails and even the toes are painted with paint, the eyebrows are always trimmed and painted, and the face is also painted with makeup. These places still reveal the dusty smell she has been contaminated for a long time.

Fang Ling and the others should not be lonely, because Yao Ji would often visit the garden with everyone, play cards, watch flowers and watch the moon, and even have horse racing and cuju.So that occasionally Zhang Ning met them chatting and having fun together, but he couldn't get in the conversation, as if he was an outsider; but this is just an appearance, they still need a man to accompany them, maybe sex is secondary, but to be cared for The psychological comfort of caring.

Zhang Ning sat down on the chair, waiting for Fang Ling to busily wait for him to fetch hot water to wipe his face and feet.While serving briskly, she gossiped: "You always don't come, I thought newcomers were better than old ones (referring to Bai Fengjiao?), you despise people like me."

"What kind of person?" Zhang Ning pretended to be unhappy.

Fang Ling said in a low voice: "I have self-knowledge, so naturally I am not as innocent as other people."

Zhang Ning said seriously: "Others can despise you, but I will never."

After Fang Ling heard it, she thought he was going to say some nasty love words, although those words were very fake, and she had heard a lot of them in the past, but there was nothing wrong with Quan's fun listening to them.She followed the words and asked, "Why?"

Unexpectedly, Zhang Ning said: "Chunhan, as the family of the most important officials and ministers in the scholarly family, why was he trapped in the old courtyard since he was a child? Wasn't it because Mr. Xunzhi (Fang Xiaoru) was persecuted for the festival of my father and emperor's guarding ministers? People from the Jianwen family treat such people unfairly. Wouldn’t it chill those loyal people? So people in the world can laugh at you ignorantly, but I absolutely can’t. Mr. Zhi has a reputation of being loyal through the ages, and I will also give Chunhan a reputation."

Zhang Ning is familiar with Fang Xiaoru in later generations, and has both positive and negative comments, but the official comments are probably foolish and loyal.But no matter what the posterity said, Zhang Ning's position was not wrong. If he didn't appreciate Fang Xiaoru very much, would he still have the position of Emperor Jianwen's righteous prince?Others are loyal to your family, but you say it is foolish loyalty, that is really crooked.

Such as Wugen Zhiping's sweet words can't move Fang Ling, but such a well-founded reason convinced her very much, she looked at Zhang Ning excitedly: "Is everything you said true?"

"It's true, when have I lied to you?" Zhang Ning took a breath and said gently, "It's just that the big thing is not done yet, and I don't want to make excuses for beautiful women. People outside don't know the inside story, and they can at most I heard that I have several concubines, except for the concubine, Xu Wenjun is helpless because of his old friend Lao Xu's granddaughter; Bai Fengjiao is on good terms with Miao Jiang. The two second concubines have nothing worth talking about. The two of us, in the future I will definitely fulfill my promise, if the relationship between the two lasts for a long time, why bother day and night?"

"Yeah." Fang Ling sat on his lap, snuggled into his arms softly, and whispered softly, "Although you still smell like some woman's powder, I don't care. , as long as I can have a little place in your heart... In this world, how can there be such a good man as the prince?"

Zhang Ning immediately felt warm and very comfortable. He hoped that his women could be cared for in this way.Of course, as he said, this kind of thing can only be done quietly, and there is no need to expose the flirtatiousness in front of the outside... Many soldiers are illiterate, but they also have a heart: Laozi is working hard in the front, and you play with women unscrupulously in the back ?This is of course not good.

Li Zicheng, another rebel in my memory, is said to have taken over 100 wives as soon as he occupied a village.No wonder he failed in the uprising and missed the king; he is not that kind of person, how could he indulge his subordinates to play with the women of Sangui?

Skirts are indeed the most suitable lower garments for women. Only skirts can bring out the best line of her buttocks. Fang Ling's buttocks are sitting on his lap, and he is holding her waist in his hands. It feels so straight It made people's mind flutter, and Zhang Ning soon had a reaction.Fang Ling said with a slight smile: "Didn't someone else serve you before, can you do it again?" Zhang Ning said softly: "It's just because you are too cute." A lecherous person, of course, must have some skills.Gu Long once said that there are people who are fond of wine but can't measure it, and who are lustful but don't hold it. Zhang Ning is not that kind of person.

……

Two days later, Zhang Ning temporarily refrained from his indulgence because the cabinet had drawn up a navy plan, but at this time he had already cared about all the women he should accompany.

He could see the tens of pages of playlist from the morning to the evening just by reading it the first time, and he didn't pay attention to the details.The content consists of three parts, shipbuilding, military training, and other chores, with a detailed time schedule.Such a careful performance, and Zhang Ning feels that the writing is very professional, which is really done by people with real talents and hard work.

Zhang Ning felt complacent for a while, thinking that not only could he attract talents, but the key was to know who the talents were. Obviously, the officials in the cabinet were not only familiar with the rules of the officialdom, but also had real skills. They were not the kind of people who only knew how to exercise power can be compared.

What kind of ship to build and how to build it all have detailed arrangements and schedules.The hull materials are mainly nanmu and tung oil, which need to be transported from Huguang to Jiujiang. There are more nanmu in Southeast Asia, but there are not many in Huguang, so building dozens of boats can handle it.With Xu Zixin's staff as the core, shipyard craftsmen were recruited from Yuezhou, Wuchang, and Jiujiang, and the governor of Jiangxi personally supervised the expenses of timber, money, and food.Zhang Ning noticed a construction description recorded in it. If you don’t read it, you don’t know it. It turns out that the shipbuilding technology of the Ming Dynasty is not bad at all. Carpenters can directly rivet the large keel with wood, and seal the gaps with glue. It seems to be the welding technology of the wood version. ; And the boatman knows how to double seal the hull with tung oil and paint to prevent corrosion.Zhang Ning was once again shocked by the "indigenous" technology. Although he is a descendant, if he does not make good use of local resources, what he knows is too little compared to what he needs.

Zhang Ning thought of Zheng He's fleet of treasure ships that could go to sea, and accidentally thought of greed again, thinking that it was simply a priceless treasure.It is not just a navy with more than 2 people going overseas to show off its might, nor is it a money-burning product that empties the national strength. In Zhang Ning's eyes, it is a complete team.From more advanced shipbuilding design and practical technology to sailing experience, they are not rare wealth, but valuable experience that only a vast unified empire can accumulate with resources.It's a pity that future generations no longer have the mind of Emperor Yongle. Although in the opposite position, Zhang Ning still holds a positive attitude towards Yongle's achievements.

The preparations for the dock began last year, and the Ministry of War estimates that it will take at least half a year to complete the construction from material transportation; it will also take time to train soldiers and organize generals to practice tactics.In this way, the flood season this summer will be missed, and the plan to launch a large-scale land and water attack on Nanjing this year may be delayed... because the main safety ship of the Suzaku Army Navy will deploy 32 naval guns, with a huge hull and a displacement of eight Of course, this kind of big ship is naturally best dispatched in the rich water season, the water depth is safer.Zhu Heng's suggestion is to send scouts along the river to explore and measure the water depth, so as to prepare early.

The recruitment and training of sailors also started last year. They can be trained on land and small boats first, and then board the ship for exercises after the construction of the new ship is completed.The safety ship is scheduled to carry 200 people, and the 4000 capital ships need 500 naval crews, plus some auxiliary boats, a total of [-] people.Because there is a battalion of ships in Yuezhou that is not well equipped with the first battalion of the navy, so the newly established navy in Jiujiang is logically numbered the second battalion of the navy.

At present, under the financing of the Ministry of War, the structure of the navy organization has almost been set up.The cabinet minister, Shangshu Yao Fang, is the prime minister of Jiangxi water and army affairs, and is in charge of military power. (Yao and Zhou are called Shangshu, they are the two Shangshu of Gonghu, they basically don’t care about the affairs of the six departments, because they are military generals, and they only have the Ministry of punishment, and the Jianwen court temporarily canceled the central review The rules of local cases and the power of criminal law are reviewed and administered by the Huguang Procuratorate and the Jiangxi Procuratorate respectively.)

Monk Yao's son, Yao Erlang, handed over the military power of the Yuezhou Barracks and became the deputy general of the second battalion of the Navy that was being formed.His official position is almost due to his relationship with the cousin of the King of Xiang. Everyone knows that Yao Erlang knows nothing about water warfare. He gave a lieutenant general experience, but he dare not directly hand over the military power to him.The commander of the navy is Zhu Guangyang, a person recommended by Monk Yao. According to the documents filed by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, this person was originally a general of the Yuezhou government army and navy. After Yuezhou surrendered, Zhu Guangyang defected to Monk Yao because Monk Yao treated him well Well, he worshiped Monk Yao as his adoptive father.Since it was recommended by Monk Yao, his position should not be a big problem. He has also been a navy general and is familiar with water warfare. The military department couldn't find anyone for a while, so he agreed to this person as the commander of the second battalion of the navy.

Zhang Ning didn't know this Zhu Guangyang, nor had he even met him.But soon all the trusted generals of the Navy will come to Wuchang for "training", and then they can meet and get acquainted.
