The sun never sets in the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 30
When Huang Sheng handed over a Ba Ya La waist badge and two vest waist badges to Sun Yuanhua, the scientist was stunned for a moment and couldn't react.

He was surprised and said: "Little friend really succeeded again? Little friend risked his life to obtain military exploits, how can I keep it for myself?"

Mao Yuanyi said: "Brother, you are welcome. He also gave me a share of the credit this time. We just need to take care of him in the future. He has been promoted twice in one year at such a young age. If he makes meritorious service again, the court may not reward him."

Sun Yuanhua is honest, but he is not stupid, and he has a high IQ.He said with a smile: "In this case, brother Yu will be disrespectful."

Huang Sheng saw that Sun Yuanhua changed his name to Brother Yu, so he beat a snake and followed the stick and said, "You are welcome, brother. I will come to my brother's place in the future to set up some cannons. Next time I have a chance to plot and build a slave, I will get twice the result with half the effort."

Sun Yuanhua said: "It's okay, I don't worry about giving it to other people, it's okay to give it to my virtuous brother, but the cannon is too heavy, I happened to carefully craft a few lighter cannons, and I'll give you one or two when the time comes."

Huang Sheng knew in his heart that the lightness Sun Yuanhua spoke of could never be understood as being able to be carried by three or two people. It might just be more delicate than the Hongyi cannon, and he didn't know whether it was a four-pound cannon or a three-pound cannon.

Mao Yuanyi said: "Little friend Huang Sheng will soon have his own sea ship, that is, a sentry ship. Can your small cannon be equipped on it?"

Sun Yuanhua said: "Oh! That's very good. It's okay to equip No. [-] Fuchuan with six or seven gates, but you can't give so many. It's too eye-catching. It's no problem to equip two gates."

The scrap rate of cast artillery in the Ming Dynasty was too high, so Sun Yuanhua would definitely choose the one he thought was the best for Huang Sheng, and then it would be written on the document that it would be scrapped. Anyway, he had the final say on whether the artillery was qualified or not.

I sent out seven Jiannu heads, and got two scientists to be my confidantes. In the future, I can get gunpowder, armor, Lumi blunderbuss and other supplies from the imperial court, and I can also get artillery for my future warship. It's a good deal. .

In the future, I will drift in the Liaohai Sea if I have nothing to do. Jiannu's nearly [-]-mile coastline is the target of my own landing and sneak attack. I can also bypass the Yalu River to attack Jiannu's backyard. Hehe, it seems very enjoyable!
Huang Sheng said: "Brother, how are your artisans grinding telescope lenses?"

Sun Yuanhua was a little strange and said: "Brother virtuous didn't mention Brother Yu, I forgot about them, they should be doing some chores now. They are all craftsmen, and they have no place to go, just hang out."

Huang Sheng said: "Little brother's family doesn't have many people, and there will be a big boat in the future. These three seem to be relatively honest..."

The clever Sun Yuanhua immediately understood: "They are blessed to be able to follow the virtuous brothers as servants. Brother Yu will ask the servants to take them to your place tomorrow."

Although Sun Yuanhua is a scientist, he is also a scholar-bureaucrat, and he does not regard these craftsmen as human beings at all.Huang Sheng is completely different. He believes that technology can improve efficiency, that industry can save the country, and that knowledge can change destiny.

These three people are rare skilled craftsmen, they are good at processing glass and jewelry, and they can also polish crystals. Such skills are outstanding in this era.

Sun Yuanhua generously gave Huang Sheng the three master lens manufacturers for nothing, and he was so happy that he wanted to laugh.It's just that there are three more people in the family, and the place where I live now may be a bit small.

Mao Yuanyi said: "Your brother's current official residence is still the treatment of the Ninth Grade Registrar, which is a bit inappropriate. Tomorrow, brother Yu will arrange a larger cross-court for the younger brother and his family. Everyone is a courtier of Ming Dynasty, and they all serve the country. The house is not my own, so Xiandi can only make do with it."

Huang Sheng knew that this was a public house, but he was only living there temporarily, and it didn't belong to him when he left the office. He didn't even want to have his own property in Ningyuan City, a place of right and wrong, as long as he had a place to live.

Master Mao Yuanyi personally arranged for the house to be no worse than the current house, Huang Sheng quickly thanked him.

The three of them came to the restaurant to drink together, but Sun Yuanhua didn't invite anyone else.A thousand cups of wine is rare for a bosom friend, and the three of them talk very congenially, so they feel drunk before they know it.

With the foreshadowing of the military exploits of beheading the white armor soldiers who built slaves, everyone became more enthusiastic. They didn't call them adults, officials, or subordinates, and just called you, me, him, or virtuous brother and brother.

The civil servants are upright and don't do anything to kowtow to the alliance, but at this time the three of them have a tacit understanding of helping each other in the future.

Huang Sheng was relatively successful in later generations, and there was no example of failure in public relations with any useful officials. Officials in the Ming Dynasty were much more honest than cadres in later generations. Of course, Huang Sheng did it deliberately.

Most officials are like this, no matter what dynasty is no exception, if you are generous to him, he will be generous to you.Anyway, the bribes given to officials will be returned ten times and a hundred times.

The two scientists were no exception. They were also in the circle of right and wrong in the official circle of the Ming Dynasty.If they really did what Hai Rui did, no one would dare to use them.

Huang Sheng understands these two people, they should not be bad people, and when he has the strength, he will definitely try his best to help them and try to change their tragic fate.

After drinking, the three of them were all slightly drunk, and their feet were a little sloppy. Sun Yuanhua and Mao Yuanyi left the restaurant with Huang Sheng with the support of two servants.

Huang Sheng refused to be helped by the servants. At this time, Huang Dongshan should be waiting for him downstairs with the dog in the restaurant.

Huang Mingli and Huang Mingdao were taken care of by Huang Sheng, and they were not allowed to do such small things as serving themselves in the future. They must have the awareness that they are already seventh-rank military officers of the imperial court, and let them step up training new servants.

When they came to the gate of the restaurant, they found a large group of Ming soldiers standing on both sides, and the leader was Ma Shihu.He saw Mao Yuanyi and Sun Yuanhua hurried forward to kowtow to salute.

Although his rank is from the fourth-rank military officer, Mao Yuanyi and the others are only sixth-rank civil servants, but the Ming Dynasty is rich in culture and military, and Mao Yuanyi is the general Zanhua trusted by the supervisor. This kid hastened to show his courtesy.

Mao Yuanyi squinted his drunken eyes and said, "General Ma, you have to treat Mr. Huang well. If he suffers a loss, I will definitely not stand idly by."

Ma Shihu said with a smile on his face: "How can it be! A lowly position is good to Mr. Huang! Don't worry, my lord, my commander-in-chief knows it well, and he will definitely not lose to Mr. Huang."

Sun Yuanhua also said: "That's good. It's rare for scholars in my generation to have such a heroic man as Mr. Huang. You must protect him well."

Ma Shihu sent his servants all the way to escort the two civil servants back to rest. He hurriedly came to Huang Sheng and stretched out his hand to help Huang Sheng.

This kid was waiting for news in Ningyuan, and had been sending his servants to watch every move of the Huang family. Someone had already reported to him such a big commotion today.

He immediately rushed to Huang's house in a hurry. Unfortunately, Huang Sheng had just left the house, and the chief banner officers Huang Mingli and Huang Mingdao received him.

The two of them had already received Huang Sheng's instructions, and when they saw Ma Shihu coming in a hurry, they didn't talk nonsense, and took two Jiannu vest heads cured by nitrate, including some dilapidated armor, and handed them to him.

Ma Shihu didn't understand what he meant, thinking that Master Huang had just got two Jiannu heads this time, he said anxiously: "My two brothers, I made an appointment with Master Huang to ask for ten real slave heads, and now there are only two. , I'm afraid it's not easy for me to make an appointment with my Lord Chief Soldier."

Huang Mingli said: "The general misunderstood, these two heads were given to you by my lord, and we have already kept your lord's head."

Ma Shihu's eyes started to light up when he heard this, and he asked repeatedly: "Your lord gave me two heads for free? He also prepared the amount for my lord commander? What did you kill this time?" How many Jian slaves?"

Huang Mingdao said with some regret: "It should be no less than [-] in real life, but it's a pity that the adults don't allow us to continue chasing, and there are two Jiannu whose heads have been smashed, so they can't be harvested. Only the soldiers have no heads."

Ma Shihu said anxiously: "Brother, tell me how many heads you have got? Are there military cards but no heads? Do you have captured armor and weapons?"

Huang Mingli said: "Jiannu's head is nineteen, the number of soldiers is 21, and there are many armors and weapons, but most of the armors are broken."

Ma Shihu was so excited that he rubbed his hands together, he said: "What kind of bloody battle must you have gone through, Jiannu's armor was smashed by you. But you shouldn't smash their heads too! There are no heads, only soldier badges , I don’t know how long it will take to repay the merits of the armor!”

Then Ma Shihu didn't care about the stench, and picked up Jiannu's heads one by one like appraising works of art, slowly admiring them, and he enjoyed watching them all.I have completed this mission beautifully, and I can also report the third-level merit of beheading Jiannu.

Huang Mingdao teased him: "General, if you want another head, it's actually very easy. You just need to take your people to search along the route of the previous march. I guarantee that you will find Jiannu who is seriously injured and dead. Not too little."

Ma Shihu got excited all of a sudden, and asked quickly: "You two brothers, are you serious?"

Seeing that he was about to move, Huang Mingli quickly dissuaded him: "General, don't listen to his nonsense, you must not go now, if you go three days ago, you will definitely gain a lot, now you can't tell, Jiannu should send troops there went."

Ma Shihu stomped his feet in regret and said, "Damn it, I shouldn't be waiting in Ningyuan. If I can get a few more Jiannu leaders, I'm afraid this time I might become a guerrilla general."

Ma Shihu stayed at Huang's house for a drink, accompanied by Huang Mingli and the two of them. They bragged about the ins and outs of the incident, including the details of how they fought with Jiannu. Huang Sheng admired him even more.

Ma Shihu took Huang Mingli and Huang Mingli's hands and said: "Brothers, next time you and Mr. Huang go to Jiannu, you must call me. I, Ma Shihu, can also draw a strong bow and ride a strong horse."

Huang Mingli said: "My lord's military discipline is too strict. No one can have any problems during the ambush. General, you are fine. I'm afraid your subordinates may not be able to do it."

"This..." Ma Shihu was at a loss for words for a moment, it was true, he could only guarantee that he would obey the order, as for the old soldiers under his command, he couldn't say for sure.

After waiting and waiting, Master Huang came back, so Ma Shihu couldn't sit still, so he sent someone to inquire, and it turned out that Master Huang was dragged by Master Sun to a restaurant for a drink.

Ma Shihu had no choice but to discuss with Huang Mingli and the two of them: "Brothers, can I take these things back and hand them over to my Chief Soldier?"

Huang Mingli said: "You can take the things that my lord gave you now, and I will also give you the two soldier badges and armor without heads."

Ma Shihu said happily: "It's so good, I will definitely benefit the two brothers if I get the credit. Is it just something from my family's chief soldier?"

Huang Mingdao said with a smile: "What about your lord's promise to my family? This is a big deal, General, you and our brother are both helping the lord, so we can't spoil the good deeds of the lord, right?"

Ma Shihu got a lot of benefits, and immediately began to think about Huang Sheng, he said: "It's okay, my commander-in-chief happened to come to Ningyuan the day before yesterday, so I'll go back and look for him, and ask him to bring the things promised to Master Huang to me. "

Ma Shihu found Ma Shilong excitedly, congratulated Mr. Zongbing as soon as they met, and honestly reported the situation to him.

Ma Shilong came to Juehua Island to build a ship, and he was very happy when he heard that he really got what he wanted, so he directly gave Ma Shihu the delivery document for a No. [-] Fuchuan.

Seeing the back of Ma Shihu excitedly going to work, Ma Shilong felt uncomfortable, what kind of monster is the scholar?

Everyone is afraid that Jiannu is like a tiger and wolf, but he takes Jiannu's head like chopping melons and vegetables. It seems that this person's future is limitless, and we must get along with him well in the future.

Ma Shihu soon came to Huang's house again, and the servant picked up less than two hundred catties of silver, which was too inconvenient to use silver as money.

After Huang Ming obtained the delivery documents for the silver and the sea-ship, of course Ma Shihu's servants resisted taking everything away. Ma Shihu had arranged everything but refused to go back. He must wait for Huang Sheng to come back and thank him in person.

Everyone was bored waiting at home, so they all came to the restaurant to pick up Huang Sheng. Ma Shihu saw that Huang Sheng was as good as his immediate boss, so of course he wanted to go up and flatter him.

Back home, he chatted with Ma Shihu about the deployment of the Ming army in Ningyuan. Huang Sheng was worried, fearing that because of his actions, Jiannu would come to surround Ningyuan this year, and if he found that the situation was not good, he would leave this isolated city.

Now that Jiannu is here, the situation of the Ming army is worse than that of the sixth year of Tianqi. At present, there is no Ming army in Jinzhou, the artillery in Ningyuan has not been installed in place, and the reinforcement of the city has not been completed.
