【0809 Go to Weijiazhuang】
The great eunuch of Jingshi, except for Wang Tiqian, who is not living in a mansion and raising a large group of women?
The dark corruption of the Ming Dynasty is bottom-up, pervasive, all-round corruption, high-ranking officials and eunuchs, these top-level society, are the first to bear the brunt.
After the banquet was dispersed, Wei Bao stayed with Zhang Meiyuan tonight.
Before that, Wei Bao found Wu Xuexia and told him what Wu Sanfeng had proposed to him.
Wu Xuexia said with a smile: "The president doesn't have to pay attention to my eldest brother, can you not hate him, you already love Xuexia." My eldest brother is not an official material, he looks very scheming and very urban on the surface, but he lacks energy and measure, and he is also irritable and irritable. Once a person is angry and can't keep his senses, he will affect his judgment, and what he does is not right, just rush to this point, he is not suitable to be an official, and he is far worse than my second brother. ”
Wei Bao smiled slightly, he was not surprised to hear Wu Xuexia comment on Wu Sanfu like this, he could understand the things, with Wu Xuexia's wisdom, how could he not understand?
Wei Bao has always felt that his qualifications are really ordinary, if it weren't for the identity of being reborn and crossing the giant, he is a pure and bright person, and I am afraid that it is a luxury to live to adulthood in this world.
And people like Wu Sanfu, even if they were not born in a wealthy family like the Wu family, with Wu Sanfu's talent, they can live happily for a lifetime.
In the past, Wei Bao didn't believe in fate, but the level is getting higher and higher, and after coming into contact with the top figures, including the emperor, Wei Bao now believes more and more that everything is predestined.
"Speaking of which, it is precisely because your eldest brother has such a character flaw that I was able to develop under the coercion of the Wu family, otherwise I would have been killed by your eldest brother a long time ago." Wei Bao laughed.
"Hearing what the president said, the president is still blaming my eldest brother?" When Wu Xuexia heard this, her expression immediately darkened.
"No, no, don't get me wrong, I've put it down! It's all a family! Wei Bao smiled slightly.
Wu Xuexia saw that Wei Bao didn't seem to be saying unintentional words, and said with a smile: "Thank you, president." ”
"It's also called the president, and it's called the husband." Wei Bao laughed.
Wu Xuexia's face flushed, "Let's change my words after getting married in a few days." ”
Wei Bao knew that Wu Xuexia was thin-skinned, she usually looked hot, and she was very decisive in dealing with things, but when she encountered her own affairs, she was shy.
So Wei Bao didn't tease Wu Xuexia anymore, and personally sent Wu Xuexia to rest, and then went back to rest with Zhang Meiyuan.
Now when living with Zhang Meiyuan, Wei Bao generally sleeps with Zhang Meiyuan, which is a kind of respect.
Otherwise, Wei Bao would sometimes leave Wang Qiuya overnight.
Now Wei Bao's nominal official wife is still only Zhang Meiyuan.
In this way, after playing in Yongping Mansion for three days, it was still at the urging of Wei Bao that Gao Di and the three big eunuchs reluctantly agreed to go to Shanhaiguan in two days.
They are having a good time, they have been playing in Yongping Mansion for another year and a half, according to Wei Bao, a few old things can be played.
"Are we going to Weijiazhuang? I haven't been there yet. Zhang Meiyuan asked Wei Bao.
Wei Bao thought about it, anyway, Gao Di and the three big eunuchs also said that they would stay in Yongping Mansion for two days before leaving, and nodded: "It's okay, but I'm afraid of trouble, I'll go back alone, every time it's grand enough, this time I took you there, you went to Weijiazhuang for the first time, you are the hostess, and the people below don't know how to make a show." ”
"But if I don't go, the president should go too, right? Shouldn't we go and see the General Administration and the General Administration of Party Affairs in Weijiazhuang? There is also the General Military Administration, the main force of the Baojun Naval Division, which is also in Weijiazhuang, right? Zhang Meiyuan smiled: "The president still doesn't want me to go to Weijiazhuang." ”
"No, don't get me wrong!" Wei Bao smiled helplessly, secretly thinking about women, why are they so small-minded, and they misunderstand at every turn.
"That's not necessarily, if the president doesn't treat me as a wife, doesn't treat me as a member of the Heaven and Earth Society, but just treats me as the daughter of the Guogong, if you don't want my father and my brother to know, you will take it with you, and you don't want me to know it." Zhang Meiyuan said.
When Wei Bao heard this, his heart moved, he may not have thought about it like this, but after being told by Zhang Meiyuan, Wei Bao felt that he might really think so subconsciously, and he didn't want Zhang Meiyuan to participate in too many affairs of the Heaven and Earth Society.
Do you still mind the British government? Or do you mind that Zhang Meiyuan is the daughter of the British duke, and feel that the British duke is a representative of the hardcore imperial power, and there are irreconcilable contradictions with the bourgeois revolution he promoted, and he cannot merge with it?
"Then go ahead, maybe I might really have similar thoughts, but I think of you as my Wei Bao's wife, and I don't have anything to hide from you!" Wei Bao laughed.
Zhang Meiyuan said softly: "Forget it, I still don't want to go." ”
"I really don't have anything to hide from you, I wanted to go back on my way." Wei Bao felt hugged Zhang Meiyuan and coaxed: "Although I am in a hurry to get married, I really like you, how can I guard against you?" ”
"Husband, I am a member of your Wei family, and I am also a ghost of the Wei family when I die, if you have any dispute with the British government one day, I am also on your side, I only hope that you can not attack my father and my eldest brother for the sake of the relationship between husband and wife." Zhang Meiyuan said softly.
"You're thinking too much." Wei Bao smiled helplessly, "Go and tell Lin Wenbiao, let him prepare, and go back to Weijiazhuang in the afternoon." ”
Zhang Meiyuan glanced at Wei Bao, "Do you really want to go?" ”
"Go, when have I ever lied to someone." Wei Bao pinched Zhang Meiyuan's pink face, "Go and give the order." ”
Zhang Meiyuan sighed, this time Meimei walked out.
Wei Bao has a lot of contact with Zhang Meiyuan, and sometimes feels that Zhang Meiyuan may not be as strong as Wu Xuexia's ability, but Zhang Meiyuan also has her own advantages, Zhang Meiyuan also has a girl's heart, like a child who doesn't grow up, and her personality is more gentle, and she is very good at taking into account the feelings of others.
If Wu Xuexia becomes a big house, although Wu Xuexia will also be considerate of his other women and will do a good job of unity, Wu Xuexia's bearing is a little smaller than Zhang Meiyuan.
In addition, Zhang Meiyuan has a family background in the British government, and she does add a lot of points to herself.
Wei Bao felt that he was the identity of the emperor's deep celebrity, and even in the eyes of outside officials, he was not as valuable as the identity of the son-in-law of the British government.
Because of the big celebrities around the emperor, no one may dare to move, but the son-in-law of the British government, there are really few people who dare to touch him.
Wei Bao estimated that even if Wei Zhongxian wanted to move himself, he would never dare to do it easily, and he had to take care of the British government.
This also brings a lot of security to Wei Bao himself.
But where there is a good thing, there is a bad side.
Wei Bao also had to consider the thoughts of the Heaven and Earth Society congregations and ordinary people in the area under the rule of the Heaven and Earth Society.
I married a woman who was almost equal to the princess of the Ming Dynasty as my wife, and I was also inextricably linked with the Ming Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty, which was a kind of removal of the influence of the Ming Dynasty, slavery and feudalism that was being completely implemented in the areas under the rule of the Heaven and Earth Society, which was slightly unfavorable.
Everyone will definitely think that even the president is the son-in-law of the grandfather of the Ming Dynasty, so the Ming court is still powerful, and the army and people under the rule of the Heaven and Earth Society and the Heaven and Earth Society are still subordinate to the Ming Dynasty, right?
Wei Bao thought about this kind of problem, but he didn't take it too seriously.
This kind of influence must be there, but it will not be too big, with the popularization of education in the areas under the rule of the Heaven and Earth Society, the people who grew up under the education of the Heaven and Earth Society, and the people who grew up in the areas under the rule of the Heaven and Earth Society, completely isolated from the environment of the Ming Dynasty, will only recognize him Wei Bao alone, will only recognize the Heaven and Earth Society, and will no longer recognize the emperor of the Ming Dynasty and the Ming court.
Zhang Meiyuan went out for a while and came back, "President, Lin Wenbiao asked if you should go by water or by land?" ”
"Just let him watch it." Wei Bao was a little surprised, do you have to ask yourself this kind of trivial matter? When I arrived in Liaoxi, was I still afraid that there would be any problems in terms of safety?
"What he means is that you don't need to be ostentatious when you take the waterway, you have to be faster, you can leave in the afternoon, and you can arrive before dusk, and if you take the land route, you have to pass through several guards, and the thousands of households in the guards will definitely arrange reception." Zhang Meiyuan explained.
"Oh, that's right." Wei Bao understood what they meant, "Then take the waterway, I just want to go to Weijiazhuang Port to see the Coast Guard!" ”
Wei Bao's coast guard cannot be said to be the main force of Weijiazhuang Port, Weijiazhuang Port accounts for half of it, and half of it cruises back and forth between Lushunkou and Incheon Port outside Seoul, and Zhennanpu Port outside Pyongyang, providing escort for ships coming and going, as well as the transport ships of the Tiandihui, and also taking on the guard task of each port.
Wei Bao has always been funny because he doesn't know what Jiannu thinks, why don't he develop a little water master? If Jiannu Danfan had a little bit of the power of a water master, he would not have no way to take Mao Wenlong.
However, under the suppression of Mao Wenlong's sailor, it is true that it is more difficult for Jiannu to get the sailor, but no matter how difficult it is, it will not be completely undone.
However, in the original history, as soon as Mao Wenlong went out of business, Mao Wenlong's sailors took some of the elite sailors of the Ming army in Denglai and defected to Jiannu, and Jiannu picked up a big bargain in vain!
The more I think about this kind of thing, the more angry I become, and if I know a little bit about history, I know that Daming really gave it to Jiannu step by step, not Jiannu himself.
After Zhang Meiyuan agreed, she went out and gave the order.
Wei Bao and Zhang Meiyuan brought Wu Xuexia, Princess Zhenming, Wang Qiuya, Yang Xue and Xiong Xin'er, as well as people from the President's Secretariat, and some of the President's Guards and people from the General Administration of Statistics of the Heaven and Earth Society, and went to Weijiazhuang alone.
Wei Bao didn't say where to go to Gao Di and the three big eunuchs, but just said that he would take his wife to swim in the river to relax, and agreed that as soon as he came back in three days, he would go to Shanhaiguan together.
The brigade passed through the Yinma River, and when it came out of the mouth of the Dapu River, it went out to the sea.
A team of thousands of people will be arranged immediately and will be able to leave immediately.
It also shows the strong control ability of the Heaven and Earth Society in western Liaoning, this piece of river has been completely controlled by the Heaven and Earth Society, and the shops and docks are all owned by the Heaven and Earth Society.
The fleet traveled for three hours, and sure enough, it arrived at the port of Weijiazhuang at dusk.
It's still a bit windy today, and it's a headwind situation, otherwise it's faster.
Not only is Zhang Meiyuan taking a boat for the first time, but Yang Xue and Xiong Xin'er are also taking a boat for the first time.
Several women also went to Weijiazhuang for the first time.
Although Princess Zhenming has been by Wei Bao's side for a long time, and has followed Wei Bao to many places, she has not officially arrived at Weijiazhuang, and she passes by every time.
Several women were looking forward to it.
"How? Are you seasick, it's coming soon, hold on, you already know you won't be allowed to take the boat. Wei Bao looked at Zhang Meiyuan's little face that had turned pale in distress.
"No, it's just that this ship is so big, is this a boat you built yourself, it feels bigger than the boats of the Daming Sailor I've seen before." Zhang Meiyuan said.
"Where? These are all merchant ships, not as big as the ships of the Ming sailors. Wei Bao laughed.
The Ming Dynasty Naval Division, also known as the Great Ming Naval Division, was once the world's first Chinese Navy, and its origin was the Chaohu Naval Division, one of the two main forces of Zhu Yuanzhang's department at the end of the Yuan Dynasty. In 1420, when the Ming Dynasty was at its peak, the Ming Dynasty had 3,800 ships, including 1,350 patrol ships, 1,350 warships, and 400 large ships and 400 grain ships stationed at the base of Xinjiangkou in Nanjing, of which 250 were ocean-going treasure ships.
From the end of the Yuan Dynasty Zhu Yuanzhang's battle to cross the river and the Poyang Lake water battle, to Zheng Chenggong's recovery of Taiwan, the Ming Dynasty was founded for nearly three hundred years, but the Ming Dynasty sailors have never suffered a defeat, but unfortunately the ancient Chinese military has always been heavy on land warfare and light water warfare, so the glory of the Ming Dynasty sailors was also submerged. In fact, the Ming Dynasty sailors were indeed the most powerful fleet in ancient Chinese history and even in the ancient history of the world, and the glory of Zheng He's voyage to the West is well known, as recorded in the "Zheng He Inscription": "When facing foreign countries, those who are disrespectful to the king will be captured alive; Destroy the barbarian raiders. Therefore, the prestige of China is greatly promoted. In the middle and late Ming Dynasty, the naval defense was weak, but after Qi Jiguang's rectification, the Ming Dynasty sailors regained their combat strength.
At the beginning of the 16th century, the Portuguese colonists came to the east and originally wanted to take Macao as a colony, but the Ming Dynasty sailors inflicted heavy losses on them in the Battle of the Pearl River Estuary, so that they dispelled the idea of making peace with China. At the end of the 16th century, Japan launched a war of aggression against Korea, and the Ming Dynasty sailors defeated the Japanese fleet in the Battle of Luliang. Even at the end of the corrupt Ming Dynasty, Ming sailors defeated the Dutch colonists at the Battle of Penghu and the Battle of Liuluo Bay, and in the mid-17th century, they captured Dutch-controlled Taiwan in one fell swoop.
The Chaohu Water Division at the end of the Yuan Dynasty was the predecessor of the Daming Water Division. At the ferry side of Chaohu Laoshan Island, a circle of rocks protrudes from the water, if you are not careful, it is difficult for tourists to notice that this is a historical monument with more than 600 years, which is the witness of the Chaohu Lake sailor who was powerful in the last years of the Yuan Dynasty. Chaohu Lake seems to have always been the place where the water master came out, and the vast water surface of 800 miles provided natural conditions for the rise of the water master.
