Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    The news about Zheng Qia was immediately reported to Wuchang, and Zhang Ning was overjoyed.  Yang Shiqi secretly felt that while he was managing state affairs in the court, 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 in question.

    Kaijiang has always been desired by the Ming Dynasty, but it is easy to lay the territory, and it is not easy to keep and digest.  The imperial court even wanted to spy on Jiaozhi, and it would not let places such as Yunnan and Liaodong, which had already achieved results, degrade.  Taking advantage of the internal coup d'¨¦tat for the throne in Cochin, the imperial court used troops to fight against the illegal and unjust seizure of the throne. In fact, it had achieved a decisive victory in the battle. However, the later ruling policies were too hasty and aggressive, which led to widespread resistance, resulting in today's situation.  A situation that cannot be dealt with.

    Yang Shiqi is writing some unpublished articles, which are words inspired by the events in Yunnan He is very free at the moment.  He even discussed the issue of territorial expansion in the Central Plains dynasty starting from the Tang Dynasty. He believed that the Tang Dynasty's policy of restraint should let future generations learn lessons. Such a policy temporarily expanded the territory but could not hold it.  Only by taking 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 article 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 exploring knowledge.

    Yu Qian made supplements to Yang Shiqi¡¯s article, which was actually explaining some of his own views.  Yu Qian believed that the art of restraint could not be completely abandoned, as the process of opening up territory and finally occupying it was too slow to bear fruit; and there were advantages to expansion through other methods, so the reputation of the Tang Dynasty could be broadcast all over the world very quickly.  Another way of doing this was that the Ming Dynasty spent all its efforts to sail to the West, but it failed to achieve better results in promoting its majesty.

    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 Xiangwang Group gradually took over the territory of the Yanwang clan, as long as they did not engage in mass purges and massacres, and the original governance system had to be rearranged, Yang Shiqi believed that his abilities would be reflected at that time.

    ¡­Zhang Ning heard that the copper in Yunnan is of very good quality and is a good raw material for making artillery.  Solving the problem of raw materials really made him happy for a while.  But behind the joy, there was also a vague worry. He had to think wildly in his position, and many times he felt that he had become suspicious.

    Everything was ready, Zhu Heng presided over 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 alone.  Because it not only includes shipbuilding and cannon building, which requires the Ordnance Bureau to send people directly to Jiangxi; it also includes a series of things such as recruitment arrangements, training, and testing of soldiers.  Zhu Heng is defining 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 in 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 open and comfortable.  He planned to redesign the navy uniform according to his own preferences The power made him feel like a king, where he could change, create or destroy whatever he wanted.

    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.  No need for him to be angry, the maid was so frightened that she knelt down and begged for mercy.  Zhao Erniang heard the sound and said hurriedly: "Mrs. Xu (Wenjun) was not feeling well today and did not come. I was afraid that there was 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.  Remember an action you experienced somewhere.

    She hurriedly cried: "Please forgive me, 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.  "Waving his hand, he seemed to be still savoring a subtle feeling.

    Zhao Erniang saw this and 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 Navy officers and soldiers should not be distinguished by color.  He once imagined the white uniforms of the modern navy, but he 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 group of people were crowded together and the conditions were poor.  When you do a lot of physical work, it's a pain in the ass to wear that kind of clothes, so it's best to wear them.  Moreover, the Yongding Camp of the Suzaku Army also has two colors of clothing. The honor guard often wears cyan coats.

    So he planned to use badge patterns to distinguish the soldiers of each battalion, and the patterns could be embroidered on the collars.  However, epaulettes are useless. Sometimes soldiers will wear armor during battles, and it will 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 sitting here drawing for a long time, and saw a ship drawn with very simple lines on the paper, with a flag on it.  She almost laughed out loud. How dare he draw something like this when he had so much time to spare?

    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.  .
