Cheng Xiaolian thought that it would be difficult to convince Gu Yanwu, but he didn't expect Gu Yanwu to hesitate at all after hearing about this, and directly agreed: "Although these people are craftsmen, they have the idea of serving the country, and they are not afraid of death to cast sharp weapons for my Ming Dynasty. ”

"I heard that Mr. Gu has been in poor health for the past two days, so take more care."

Gu Yanwu laughed: "It's not because His Highness won the battle, I heard that Qutang was closed, and in the heavy rain, His Highness fought to the death and did not retreat, and fought with the thieves all night to repel the strong enemy." At that time, Huang Taichong and Wang Ernong were recruited, and the three of us old guys drank all night, from Wang Shaobo's Yellow Sand Hundred Battles wearing gold armor to Xin Jiaxuan's drunkenness to pick up the lamp and look at the sword. ”

Cheng Xiaolian knew about this matter, and after winning the battle, Yang Youcai immediately organized people to start spreading the news, not to brag, but to let the people of Sichuan farm with peace of mind, and the officials in Sichuan to do things with peace of mind, so Yang Youcai naturally had to process the content of the war to a certain extent.

This kind of news, if it is not legendary, will certainly not be widely circulated among the market. There is even a saying that Cheng Xiaolian is the reincarnation of the white snake under the sword of Han Gaozu, and after thousands of years of cultivation, he fell back into the people and won the world again, so the white snake in the Yangtze River stirred the Qutang water, and the big ship of the Geng Shang coalition army was not tenable at all, so it was natural to lose the battle.

Of course, Gu Yanwu didn't believe it at all when he heard this, but when he heard that he had won the battle, he hurried to ask for details, Confucius knew that he was a great Confucian in the world, and there was nothing to hide from the battles he had fought, so he immediately showed him the battle report sent from the front, and then he pulled Huang Zongxi and Wang Fuzhi to drink all night, and finally the three of them got drunk together, and only two fell ill the next day.

Cheng Xiaolian smiled bitterly: "The old gentleman is full of pride, I admire him very much, but I still have to pay more attention to my body in the future, after all, the academy relies on the support of the three old gentlemen, and Daming also has to rely on the gentlemen to select talents." ”

"Your Highness doesn't wear a coat on his body in the heavy rain, and he doesn't have an umbrella on his head, but now he advises us to pay attention to our bodies, which is strange."

Cheng Xiaolian scratched his head and said with a smile: "I am here to motivate the soldiers behind me, you are doing your best, the old gentleman should not be confused." ”

"The old man has lived for sixty years, and only then did he feel that the revival of the Ming Dynasty was promising, and it was normal for people to drink bitterly. His Royal Highness must take care of his body outside, and there must be hope for Daming. ”

Cheng Xiaolian laughed: "Okay, okay, let's not talk about this problem for the time being, I'm going to go on an expedition in the next few days, is there anything else that needs to be solved in the academy?" ”

Gu Yanwu waved his hand: "We can solve these things, Your Highness has every opportunity, just be busy with those military affairs, we are a few old men in the last years, we have no other skills, and we still have the ability to teach the way of saints." ”

Cheng Xiaolian said goodbye to Gu Yanwu and them, and went to Zhang Peng again: "The bodies of several old gentlemen must be taken care of, don't be afraid of spending money, and the doctor must always check their pulse." ”

Zhang Peng nodded: "Your Highness, don't worry, I can do this little thing well,"

When he arrived at the governor's mansion, Han Yue was waiting carefully beside Lawson, but Cheng Xiaolian remembered the young man who was rejected by the academy because of gambling money: "Are you still used to living here?" ”

Han Yue didn't speak, but Luo Sen spoke first: "When I get in front of the master, I don't ask about the master's situation first, but I want to ask about the situation of the subordinates, Your Highness is humiliating me." ”

Cheng Xiaolian laughed: "It's rare that Lord Luo has this leisure to joke with me, I don't know if you have decided to follow our court on a boat?" ”

"Don't be complacent just yet, has Your Highness forgotten what I once told you?"

"What?"

"Within three years, you must have the capital to compete in the world, the general trend of the world will be united for a long time, although you have blocked the offensive of Geng Shang's coalition army, but it is useless for the overall situation of the world, so don't get carried away."

Cheng Xiaolian laughed: "Then Mr. Yi, what should I do now?" ”

"It is a good way to enter Shaanxi, if you can get the land of Shaanxi and Gansu, and the power of a war, since the end of the Ming Dynasty, Shaanxi and Gansu will have many people who can recruit good fighters, if you can get here, you can really sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight. At that time, unless the Manchu Qing and Wu Sangui join forces, no one will be able to help you. ”

Cheng Xiaolian scratched his head: "How easy it is to talk about, not to mention Wang Pingfan and Daniel Zhang, just say that Wang ~ auxiliary ministers I may not be able to deal with, if you want to go through Shaanxi and Gansu, you have to look at the luck." ”

"That's not something I can manage, if His Royal Highness can pacify Shaanxi and Gansu within three years, I will bow down and become the governor of Sichuan, if the general trend is not right, I still have to run."

Cheng Xiaolian laughed: "Don't worry, before I take Shaanxi and Gansu, you will definitely not be able to run out of Chengdu Mansion." ”

He was very happy when he walked out of the governor's mansion, because Rosen finally didn't reject him much, and even began to give him advice, and his thoughts of escaping were much lighter, but he didn't know his heart, what Rosen thought in his heart, as long as he knew.

After Cheng Xiaolian left, Han Yue glanced at Luo Sen: "Teacher, why do you want to talk to Your Highness like this, our lives are in the hands of others." ”

Rosen pouted: "Have you finished reading the new book of Ji Xiao?" ”

Han Yue was a little aggrieved: "I came here to learn the way to govern the country, and I didn't learn any military books and strategies, why did my teacher give me such a military book." ”

"Let me ask you, who wrote Ji Xiao's new book?"

"Qi Shaobao Qi Jiguang."

"If you want to govern the country, you must read this book, now the world is in troubled times, internal affairs are closely related to the army, the reason why Xiao He can be ranked as the first hero of the founding of the Han Dynasty is because of the guarantee of the supply of food and grass for the army, you don't even know about military affairs, how can you guarantee that you can do a good job in internal affairs?"

Han Yue hurriedly lowered his head: "The student is ashamed, so I'm going to read Ji Xiao's new book." ”

"After reading it, you have to write a piece of experience and give it to me in three days."

After Han Yue left, Rosen looked stunned and said to himself: "Why didn't you know the current affairs at the beginning, and now you can't get off the stage, and you have to rely on students to consolidate your position." Thinking of this, he pouted again: "They were just a bunch of mud legs at the beginning, who knew they could do such a big thing." ”

Not to mention anything else, since withstanding the offensive of Geng Shang's coalition army, Rosen understands that this Da Ming is really hopeful, and now what he is worried about is whether he can find a place in this new court, his position is very embarrassing, and now all the hopes are pinned on this student, I hope he can establish a career, and no one will embarrass his teacher at that time.
