I really don't want to be emperor at the end of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 73 Someone pretends to be confused

Chapter 072

The moment Sun Yuanhua saw Cheng Shijie, his lips trembled, and he pointed at Cheng Shijie: "You..."

He talked to you for a long time, but he didn't say a word.

However, Sun Yuanhua immediately turned his head and stopped looking at Cheng Shijie.

From Sun Yuanhua's expression, Cheng Shijie knew that Sun Yuanhua did not believe his words.

But the problem is, what Cheng Shijie said is the truth, there is no fact of adulteration.

Although Sun Yuanhua didn't believe it, if Cheng Shijie stood in Sun Yuanhua's position, he wouldn't believe it if he was thinking in another way.

Sometimes people won't believe you when you tell the truth from the bottom of your heart.

When you tell a lie, they will dig out their hearts and souls instead.

In all fairness, Cheng Shijie really had his own plan. He spared no effort to strengthen Ning Haijun, but it was not for his own rebellion, but to deal with Kong Youde.

Even now that he has been "rebelled", if Kong Youde still launches the Wuqiao Mutiny like in the original time and space, Cheng Shijie will still send troops to kill Kong Youde instead of joining him.

Of course, facing Sun Yuanhua's unfriendly attitude, Cheng Shijie didn't take it seriously, he was very generous.

Cheng Shijie knew that Sun Yuanhua was angry.

This matter is more understandable to him.

If you think about it differently, if Cheng Shijie is the governor Sun Yuanhua, and Sun Yuanhua is Cheng Shijie who rebelled.

Don't be angry and don't look at each other.

Cheng Shijie took revenge on the other party as much as possible within the scope of his strength, and greeted the eighteen generations of the other party's ancestors, which is definitely the lightest.

Cheng Shijie saw that Sun Yuanhua was unwilling to talk to him, and he didn't turn around and leave. Instead, he said with a cold face: "What's the matter? I don't have any vision. Why don't you come over and help me, and help Master Futai back to the study. A few braziers, don’t freeze Lord Futai, if anyone neglects Lord Futai, I will punish him with the crime of neglecting the army!”

Cheng Shijie wanted to step forward to help Sun Yuanhua.

Sun Yuanhua pushed Cheng Shijie away angrily.

Two strong Ning Haijun soldiers came over and roughly lifted Sun Yuanhua, who weighed up to 120 kilograms, and walked towards the study.

Thanks to the strict military discipline of the Ning Navy, there are strict regulations on eating, drinking, lying, walking, sitting and lying down.Even if the Governor's Yamen is occupied for three days, there are not many Ning Haijun soldiers who can come in the entire Governor's Yamen.

Of course, the entire governor's office is very well preserved.

Cheng Shijie didn't know the thoughts of Ning Haijun's officers and men. Their nerves were as thick as steel bars, and they simply and rudely thought that they rebelled and should have Cheng Shijie as the emperor.

The best and most magnificent place in Dengzhou city is naturally the Governor's Yamen of Dengzhou, which covers an area of ​​more than 100 mu and will be Cheng Shijie's future palace.

Since it is Cheng Shijie's palace, it is natural to be in awe.

Cheng Shijie just walked to this utility room, but Xu Dacheng immediately caught up with Sun Yuanhua and pushed away a Ning Haijun soldier.

Ning Haijun's face darkened, and he glared at Xu Dacheng with sharp eyes.

Xu Dacheng shivered in fright.

Fortunately, the Ning Navy soldier saw Cheng Shijie's eyes.

Just behind Cheng Shijie, Liu Qingsong opened his mouth and said in a low voice, "Just now the garrison sir said you were slowing down the army? What does the slowing down mean?"

Zhou Ning explained with a smile: "You are a stick, let you study more, slow down the army, the meaning of neglect, meet with the army, and come later. If the castle is not repaired, the armor stick is not good. It is the neglect of the military aircraft, and the crime should be beheaded." .”

"When will Ning Haijun be guilty of slowing down the army?"

"No!"

"Then how to deal with the crime of neglecting the army?"

"Of course, there is no need to deal with it!"

Zhou Ning reached out and patted Liu Qingsong: "Eat delicious, listen to the music, you are a stick!"

"Don't call me a mallet!"

"Just call, stick, stick!"

Two Ning Navy soldiers roughly supported Denglai Governor Sun Yuanhua, followed by Xu Dacheng and Cheng Shijie, and the group came to Sun Yuanhua's study in the inner courtyard of the governor's yamen.

In later generations, some people jokingly call it a man's study, which is another wife of a man.This is also the exclusive space for men.In a man's bedroom, it is not a private space.Wives can enter, and men who have concubines in the Ming Dynasty can also enter concubines, and maidservants can also enter.

Once the relationship is in place, servants can also enter.

However, the study is different.Even if it is to clean the sanitation in the study, it needs the owner's permission.

This is Cheng Shijie's first visit to Sun Yuanhua's study. It is simply a small library. The Mingtang architectural style (. According to "Shuowen Jiezi" records, the hall is also the hall. From the soil and the sound, the house is spacious and noble. The open and bright place is the paradigm of the hall.

Sun Yuanhua's study is also in this architectural style. From the outside, it is slightly lower than the main hall of the governor's office, but it is about two feet and eight feet high, which is equivalent to the height of a three-story building, but it does not have the second and third floors. It is about eight feet long. , about four or five feet wide, visually covers an area of ​​more than 400 square meters.

In the huge bright hall, there is no brick wall or wooden wall to divide it, and the sight line is extremely wide. The entrance part is divided into three parts by a screen, which is simply divided into three parts: the tea room, the desk, and the soft couch.There are eight copper lamps with goose feet on both walls. The lamps are shaped like the solitary feet of wild geese. The legs support the circular lamp panel, and there are three lamp posts in the lamp panel.

Well, looking at the collection of books in this study, it is even more dazzling.

There are bamboo slips, sheepskin scrolls, hand-copied books, books printed with engraving blocks, and books printed with movable type.From the content point of view, there are hundreds of schools of thought, Yuefu Poetry Collection, Songs of Songs of the Book of Songs, Tang Poems, Song Ci and Yuan Songs, "Wei Liao Zi", "36 Strategies", "Sun Tzu's Art of War", "Three Strategies", "Wu Zi Art of War, Warring States Strategy, New Book of Ji Xiao... A series of military books are neatly placed there, forming a style of its own.

"Original Geometry", "Explanation of Ancient Calculator", "Explanation of Measuring the Sky", "Da Ceremony", "Ri Zang Calendar Finger", "Measurement Complete Meaning", "Ri Zang Table", "Nongzheng Quanshu", "Sweet Potato Shu", "Nong Yi Za Shu", "Draft of Agricultural Book", "Taixi Water Method", "Selected Practice Hundred Character Jue", "Selected and Lian Tiaoge", "Practice Art Tiaoge", "Shuwu Tiaoge" , "Xingming Tiaoge", "Fire Attack Essentials", "Gunpowder Making Law", "Chongzhen Almanac", "Xu Shi Pao Yan" and so on, these are the works of Sun Yuanhua's mentor and current Minister of Rites Xu Guangqi, or participated in the compilation , and translated books form an area of ​​its own.

Judging from the size of the study, Sun Yuanhua, the governor, should be a person who likes to read books. The number of military books he has collected is amazing.

Cheng Shijie likes to judge from the subtleties, but judging from the newness of these books, Mr. Sun Yuanhua and Mr. Sun read all kinds of books, except the books on military affairs.

Because these military books are brand new, and there are no traces of tampering, Xu Guangqi's books have been flipped through by him.

"Move more braziers to heat up the study."

Xu Dacheng hastily stepped forward and said: "Master Cheng, there is no need to raise the brazier here, you need to order someone to heat up the furnace, and you can make the study slightly warm like spring!"

After Xu Dacheng's explanation, Cheng Shijie knew that the floor of Sun Yuanhua's study was built in the form of a fire pit. He only needed to burn coal or firewood. Like the floor heating of later generations, it can increase the temperature in the house, but there is no smoke from the brazier, and it will not cause carbon monoxide or carbon dioxide.

Cheng Shijie once thought that Sun Yuanhua was very simple, but when he saw this study, he knew that he was superficial and the layout was small. There were 48 candles in this study, a total of [-] candles that looked like children's arms, and lighting them at the same time was enough to burn five people. The family's annual living expenses.

With such a large space, it is impossible to heat up the study without the effect of floor heating from later generations, without dozens of bundles of firewood, or hundreds of catties of charcoal a day.

"Be careful, if someone disturbs Mr. Futai, you will be confined for fifteen days."

Hearing the confinement, the fearless Ning Haijun soldiers were so frightened that they gasped much less. The fastest thing they did was not whipping, standing still, and not letting them eat, but confinement.

For the soldiers of the Ning Navy, confinement is equivalent to being buried alive. The soldiers who stabbed their heads were locked up for three days and couldn't even stand up. Some even became incontinent due to fright.

Ning Haijun's confinement room is different from that of later generations. It is a hole dug in the ground with a cover on it, just like a nest in a special era.

This nest is only six feet long and high, about four feet wide, the size of a bed, and as long as it is more than six feet tall, you have to bow your head when you stand up. There is no light inside, and there is no window. There is only a hole on the door. The one-foot-square movable door can be used to deliver meals.

Cheng Shijie ordered the soldiers to deliver food to the study. Considering Sun Yuanhua's body and his stomach, he specially provided him with easy-to-digest liquid food, that is, rice porridge.

"My lord Futai, there are a lot of rioting soldiers in the city, I left a sentry soldier to protect you!"

After finishing all this, Cheng Shijie left Sun Yuanhua's study.

Cheng Shijie came out of the study.

Just as Cheng Shijie came out of the study, two chubby figures rushed towards him.

Cheng Shijie clenched his fists subconsciously, and finally saw clearly that these were his two adopted daughters.

"Father..."

Cheng An Ning and Cheng An Jing rushed towards Cheng Shijie, one left and one right, and the two daughters burst into tears.

Cheng Shijie was a little at a loss as to what to do.

At this time, there were dozens or hundreds of Ning Haijun officers standing in the courtyard. They all hurried over after learning about Cheng Shijie's news.

Seeing this scene, they immediately turned around.

Indecent disregard.

Only when you have lost, will you know how to cherish and possess.

In fact, this sentence not only describes love, but also family affection.Just like a mother, or a father, when they were alive, they couldn't get along well at all, and they were like enemies when they met.Once lost, will understand their good intentions.

Both Cheng Anning and Cheng Anjing were like this.

Especially Cheng Anning, she was able to survive entirely because of having a great mother, who gave her the last chance of survival.

When she and her whole family were in exile, they encountered bandits. In fact, they were not bandits, but a few stronger refugees. The originally kind people, when they were about to starve to death, showed their vicious nature. She watched her father being beaten to death by mobs.

I also watched my mother take the initiative to stay behind to delay the pursuit of the mob in order to allow her to take her younger brother to escape.In order to keep her younger brother alive, her eldest sister took the initiative to sell herself to a wealthy family as a maidservant, and she doesn't know what's going on now.

Fortunately, she met Cheng Shijie.

Cheng Anning also heard about the fate of being sold in the grass market. Most of them were enslaved, either became prostitutes, or became other people's adopted sons and adopted daughters, or adopted sons and adopted daughters.

Adopted son and adopted daughter, or adopted son and adopted daughter, is just another relatively elegant term for slaves, and their status has not changed much.

She also heard at that time that some people even used them as cash cows, specially trained them as skinny horses, or sold them off, or gave them away to others.

There are also people who are more interested in playing special hobbies.

But when they entered Cheng's house, they found that Cheng Shijie neither had the special hobbies of those rich people, nor did he treat her as a slave.

Not to mention eating well and dressing well, the key is stability.

Because she witnessed the tragic death of her biological parents, Cheng Anning was even more afraid that Cheng Shijie would die too.

During the three days when Cheng Shijie disappeared, like Cheng Jingjing, she didn't even sleep for a minute.

"Silly girl, why are you crying!"

Cheng Shijie looked at the two adopted daughters, crying on his chest, and even wet his clothes.

"My daughter is so happy to see her adoptive father!"

Cheng Anjing said timidly, "Father, can I..."

"Okay, foster father still has important things to do, come back when you are free!"

Cheng Shijie's words are not to evade this, although Ning Haijun occupied Dengzhou City with little effort and captured the dignified governor of the province.Now Sun Yuanhua's life and death, including the life and death of tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians in Dengzhou City, are all in Cheng Shijie's mind.

Isn't it great to have the power of life and death in your hands?

Cheng Shijie knew very well that Ning Haijun had many problems of his own.This is a flattened army.

The unspoken meaning of flat management in the future workplace is that the company is small and you need to wear several hats.

In fact, Ning Haijun is the same now. Like Zhou Yandong, he is Ning Haijun's assistant defender. Except for the army, he takes care of other major and minor matters.From the Gun Bureau, Ordnance Bureau, Gunpowder Bureau, Armor Bureau and factories of all sizes.

Why do you need him?
Does Cheng Shijie have any other options?
The answer is no.

Should Song Xiance take care of it?

God knows what moths he can pull out.

And Song Xiance himself has multiple roles. He is Cheng Shijie's staff, the dean of Ninghai Academy, the chief of the Ning Navy's department (diplomacy), and the head of Ning Navy's business and trade. He is also responsible for publicity work.

Even Yang Yunniang, a charlatan, became his auditor and general accountant.

Cheng Shijie's principle is that women act as men, and men act as animals.Even Cheng Shi and Cheng Hu, at the age of junior high school students in later generations, Cheng Shijie has already treated them as livestock.

Looking at the more than 100 officers in the courtyard, they are all Cheng Shijie, that is, the big animals of the Cheng family.

Among the officers of the Ning Navy, their ranks are extremely low.In other armies, the general only manages [-] military households or [-] soldiers, but in the Ning Navy, the number of soldiers in charge is ten times that.

In other armies, the hundred generals are only in charge of three sentry soldiers, and the hundred generals of Ning Haijun are in charge of five sentries plus four teams, which is equivalent to 300 soldiers.More than twice as many as other armies.

It's not that Cheng Shijie doesn't want to promote his subordinates, nor is he forcing his subordinates not to be promoted, but the problem is that he himself is just a garrison, a general of the fourth rank, and within the scope of his authority, he can only promote military officers below the seventh rank, so he doesn't need to apply to Sun Yuanhua , just report directly.

At the sixth-rank level of Mr. Qian, an application is required, and Sun Yuanhua will review it, and it is also possible to add sand to the Ning Haijun, and Cheng Shijie has no choice.

This is just an expedient measure. In fact, the official position is second, and the most important thing is ability.

Being a squad leader to manage a squad is not the same as being a platoon to manage a platoon, and being a company commander to manage a company, or being a regimental leader to manage a regiment is not a concept at all.

Perhaps friends in the workplace will refute that no one is available under his command, and the bigger the official, the easier it is to do it. This is actually a fallacy.

One person has one thought, ten people have ten thoughts, one hundred people have one hundred thoughts, can it be the same?

Whether it was Zhang Yu or Shen Mingyu, they were promoted too quickly, and they were promoted to the position of general manager in just over three months. But now, they are facing their own difficulties.

Ability does not match power.

Including Cheng Shijie, he himself felt the pressure. The person who shouted the loudest slogans was not necessarily the most loyal person, and the most silent person did not necessarily mean the least capable person.

Cheng Shijie's Ning Haijun actually has many problems. He himself is the leader of the army, Shen Mingyu and Zhang Yu are the leaders of the small soldiers, and Zhou Ning and Liu Qingsong are the leaders of the smaller soldiers.

One level of allegiance to one level will easily form a disconnect and it will be easier to lose control.

No, in the absence of Cheng Shijie, Ning Haijun began to have fun like a wild horse. If there was no restraint, this group of animals would dare to poke a hole in the sky.

Cheng Shijie walked towards the courtyard.

"Meet the guard!"

"Free gift!"

Cheng Shijie looked at the Ning Haijun officer in the compound, waved his hands and said, "Find a warmer place, let's talk!"

Shen Mingyu immediately found a warm place for Cheng Shijie, which was Governor Sun Yuanhua's lobby.

As a governor's office of a province, it is naturally very dignified.Shandong is a very strange province. In the early Ming Dynasty, the real power was great. The Chief Secretary of Shandong and the Inspectorate had direct jurisdiction over the 25 guards of Liaodong. After Jiajing, the capital of Liaodong and Shandong Province no longer have any substantial connection Yes, the military preparation system of Liaodong is only sent to Shandong.

The official post of Governor of Denglai established later was actually temporary in nature, and the governor of Shandong was a fixed official position. In addition to the military affairs of Shandong coastal areas, sea areas, Lushun, and southern Liaoning, it also covers the four prefectures of southern Liaoning.

In terms of jurisdiction and power, the governor of Denglai is far greater than the governor of Shandong, but the governor of Shandong has been reduced to Jinan, Yanzhou, and Dongchang, and the official staff is also low.Just like in the third year of Chongzhen, Lu Xiangsheng was promoted to be the chief envoy of Shandong to participate in politics, and he organized the famous soldiers and prepared the way.

The places Lu Xiangsheng managed were Daming Mansion, Guangping Mansion, and Shunde Mansion, but he was the Chief Secretary of Shandong's right to participate in politics, right to participate in politics, and right to participate in politics, which is equivalent to a high-ranking official in later generations.It is an embarrassing situation for Shandong to go to Hebei to work in the name of a senior official in Shandong.

Of course, because of this institutional problem, it has also caused chaos in Shandong for many years.

As Cheng Shijie entered the hall of the highest official in Shandong, Cheng Shijie also sat down on the chief seat that originally belonged to Sun Yuanhua.

"Have you ever thought about what we will do in the future?"

"Then……"

Shen Mingyu opened his mouth, but didn't say anything.

Zhang Yu suddenly said: "We support the garrison as the governor of Denglai!"

"shit!"

Cheng Shijie scolded unceremoniously: "Do you know what the governor's full name is?"

"what……"

Cheng Shijie stared at the crowd and said: "On behalf of the sky to inspect the hunting, to comfort the army and calm the people, this is the governor. Without the approval of the emperor, the six ministries and cabinet ministers recommend it, what should I do as the governor?"

Song Xiance looked at Cheng Shijie's unkind expression, and hurriedly explained: "My lord, the situation was urgent at that time..."

Cheng Shijie sneered and said, "Chen Guodong ran from Dengzhou to Ninghai to write a letter. You guys discussed it and decided to do it. Didn't you use your brains? Such a big loophole, just turn a blind eye?"

"What loophole?"

Shen Mingyu asked subconsciously.

Cheng Shijie didn't answer his question immediately, but looked at Song Xiance: "Mr. Song, you haven't lost your mind, have you? Changyu is young and inexperienced, and he can't see the key to the problem. Resentment, taking the opportunity to flare up, fanning the flames, can't you, Song Xiance, see the crux of the problem?"

"My lord, forgive me!"

Song Xiance actually guessed at that time that Chen Guodong must have made an oolong. His rank is too low to understand the operating methods in the officialdom.

If Sun Yuanhua really wanted to master Ning Haijun, he would not use Cheng Shijie to train Ning Haijun, saying that Ning Haijun was strong and strong, and Sun Yuanhua would not want this army if he gave it to Sun Yuanhua.

Because this army is too expensive.

Ning Haijun gave Sun Yuanhua, and Sun Yuanhua couldn't afford to support him. In fact, he believed more in the Western instructors of Europa and the artillery he made himself.

Once again, even if Sun Yuanhua's head is broken, if he wants to control Ning Haijun, he doesn't need to detain Cheng Shijie at all. As the governor of a province, he has countless methods of being aboveboard within his power.

For example, if you go up and down secretly, you can transfer Cheng Shijie to the commander of the Dengzhou Guard as the commander, or you can transfer Cheng Shijie to the Dengzhou battalion as the general of the Dengzhou battalion.

What could Cheng Shijie do at that time?
reject?

That is disobedience and disobedience, and it is justified to deal with Cheng Shijie.

What's more, Cheng Shijie had no conflict of interest with Sun Yuanhua so far, and Shen Mingyu couldn't see the real reason why Sun Yuanhua founded Ning Haijun.

Song Xiance knew, however, that it was a countermeasure he had to take in desperation because he was disappointed with the erosion of Dengzhou Guard's combat effectiveness.Moreover, Sun Yuanhua is a pragmatic official, and he has no reason or motivation to deal with Cheng Shijie at all.

Song Xiance knew it was an oolong, but he pretended not to know.

Even if Sun Yuanhua's head was flooded and he used such inferior means to deal with Cheng Shijie, as Cheng Shijie's bodyguard, how could he escape from Dengzhou City?
