Cutting over the end of the Ming Dynasty: a dog-leg knife at the beginning

Chapter 745 and Tiandou 5
Those people in the court ran here and there in order to kill Yang Menglong, and they didn't stop for a moment. Yang Menglong was also not idle. In the past few days, he commanded a rocket artillery unit to run around in the surrounding areas of Nanyang. Squeeze hard, and then it rains cats and dogs.Thanks to his efforts, the drought in Nanyang was greatly eased, the water level, which had dropped a lot, rose sharply, and the common people were all smiles.At the beginning, everyone was very surprised. After a few times, they knew what was going on. Although they didn’t understand the principle, they also knew that as long as Yang Menglong fired a rocket at the dark clouds, it would rain instead of hail. They were very happy Ask Yang Menglong for advice: Our side is very dry, can you come to our side and shoot a few rounds of rockets to make it rain?

The magistrates of several counties including Xinye, Fangcheng, and Yexian also wrote to complain: "The streets in Nanyang are flooded with rainwater and you still fight? It's too biased. We need rainwater most here. Hurry up." Bring me the rocket!" It seems that Nanyang people have an extremely powerful heart, even if a Godzilla suddenly emerges from the ground, they will not be surprised, at most they will say in surprise: "Master Hou can still make it!" Playing this thing? It’s really good at playing!”

Of course, Yang Menglong didn’t mess around casually. The reason why he flooded Nanyang was for two purposes. First: Nanyang is a big city with a population of tens of thousands. Vaccination; second: collect data.Every test is followed by a huge observation group, measuring the temperature, wind speed, cloud height and thickness, and air humidity... Although the test equipment is simple and the conditions are not very good, everyone is full of enthusiasm and gives full play Use your imagination and gather as much data as possible.With the insistence of these data madmen, Nanyang people enjoy the coolness of the rainy season in advance, with one light rain every three days and one heavy rain every five days. The sales of umbrellas and raincoats are extremely hot, and the supply can even be said to be in short supply.And the most intuitive impact is that the crops in the field drink enough water and keep growing wildly, which makes the farmers in other counties who watch the fields day and night anxiously waiting for the opportunity to irrigate their crops. It was really too dry. The water level in the river generally dropped by one foot, and the amount of water lifted by the water truck was greatly reduced. Everyone had to take turns to irrigate under the unified arrangement of the government. The anxiety in the farmers' hearts can be imagined.

Under the strong request of the county magistrate of Fangcheng County, Yang Menglong led his rocket artillery unit to a town with the worst drought in Fangcheng County, and deployed the rocket artillery to the top of the mountain with the help of local farmers, waiting for the arrival of cold clouds .Some observation stations reported that a large group of cold clouds was moving towards Fangcheng County, and would reach this town in the next three days, but instead of the expensive spring rain, it would bring deadly hail.Now Yang Menglong is going to turn the fatal hail into life-saving rain, of course, the premise is that the cold cloud really moves here.

After finally deploying the rocket launcher, before he had time to wipe off his sweat, Li Yan rode over and said a few words to Zaji Chongweng at the foot of the mountain. Repeat in a low voice.

Yang Menglong shrugged his shoulders and said: "If they want to come, let them come, I'm still afraid that they won't succeed!" After finishing speaking, he raised his binoculars and looked into the sky, looking for the trace of Leng Yun, and ordered his men to give a huge The hot air balloon is inflated.

A guy who is not afraid of death wrapped himself in a thick padded coat like a rice dumpling, stepped into the hanging basket with a smile and was about to lift off. Seeing his relaxed expression, he didn't seem to be running to the sky to die, but Like to play.Ever since Yang Menglong, a bastard, made hot air balloons, his gang of lunatics have fallen in love with this thing. People often take hot air balloons into the sky, observe the sky, weather, and map... This thing is so good, it flies so fast High, the earth, mountains and rivers are all in sight, it is really convenient!Due to the lack of technology, there were many accidents, and several people died, and they all fell to pieces, which was extremely tragic. However, more and more people wanted to go to heaven, and there was no sign of fear at all. In the eyes of outsiders, these guys are all It's crazy!

Isn't science and technology pushed forward by these fearless lunatics?

Zaji ran down the mountain to Weng and repeated Yang Menglong's words to Li Yan.Li Yan smiled bitterly: "Isn't his heart too big? Or, he doesn't know how powerful those guys are at all?"

The "those guys" that Li Yan was talking about were strutting on the streets of Nanyang at the moment.They are all dressed as scholars, with Confucian crowns and scarves, wide sleeves and drooping sleeves. They are all handsome, like a jade tree facing the wind. , or come up with a wonderful couplet, it is simply the dream lover of a girl in a boudoir!However, few of the crowd coming and going are girls who are still dreaming of nympho dreams. They are all running around for their lives, coming and going in a hurry, and it is difficult to have free time before sunset. Therefore, in their eyes, these wind-chanting The guy who plays the moon is simply sick.Seeing this scene, the oldest among the group of scholars frowned, his eyes flickered, and there was a hint of slyness.The other younger ones scolded directly. In Jiangnan, they are the focus of attention no matter where they go. Local officials surround them, rich merchants and gentry flatter them in every possible way, and beauties flirt with them. What kind of scenery is that?But in this ghost place of Nanyang, there are none of these things. The prefect of Nanyang who is so busy is too lazy to bother them. Those lively and lovely girls go straight to the textile factory chatting and laughing and have no time to look at them. As for the traders and farmers... Who the hell knows who you are?Get out of our way!

This undoubtedly made these scholars very unhappy, very unhappy!

"Heaven is like a lord, it's outrageous that people in this place are so contemptuous of me and other scholars!" A weak-crowned scholar in a navy blue robe said angrily as he bowed his hands to the older one.This handsome guy is only eighteen or nine years old. He is not very old, but his reputation is very scary. His poems and articles have long been famous in the Jiangnan literary circle, and everyone knows him.

He is Hou Xun's precious son, Hou Fangyu, one of the four sons of the late Ming Dynasty.This buddy comes from a famous family, is full of talent, and his literary achievements are second to none among the four young masters.However, like many literati in the Ming Dynasty, he also belonged to the kind who had talent but no virtue. He caused a lot of trouble in the late Ming Dynasty, but the big scene he single-handedly directed was after the collapse of the Ming Dynasty.When the Manchu Qing Dynasty entered the Pass, the killings were extremely miserable. The Han people who were forced to die turned into soldiers. According to his suggestion, the Qing army dug up the embankment of the Yellow River and flooded the seven armies. The Yulin army's active states and counties were all Zeguo, and millions of soldiers and civilians became food for fish and shrimp. devoured.However, substituting water for soldiers is not an honorable act after all. The Manchus were in a difficult situation at the beginning of the founding of the country, and they were quite taboo about it and dared not mention it. Go back to her hometown to live in seclusion, and die in depression.Such a ruthless character who can offer such vicious tricks as "flooding the seven armies" to the invaders in order to seek wealth and honor is naturally not some kind of gentleman. The cold reception he received in Nanyang made him very unhappy, and the consequences were very serious!

That "Tianru Gong" is not an idle person, "Tianru" is his character, his name is Zhang Pu, the boss of the Donglin Party Fushe.This man is equally talented, the pen in his hand is more powerful than a knife, a knife can only kill, but his pen can not only kill, but also kill.This dear brother Chongzhen won the Shujishi four years ago, he can be described as a young man, but he did many major things long before the imperial examination, from organizing riots to attacking government offices, and setting fire to the city.What he was most proud of was the arrangement after Wen Tiren's downfall, which allowed Zhou Yanru, who had been sitting on the bench for several years, to re-emerge as the chief assistant of the dynasty, while he himself led the government in the south of the Yangtze River. Zhou Yanru's strategy for governing the country came from him He has the final say on the appointment and removal of personnel, who to use and who to demote, the chief assistant can't make the decision at all, he has to nod to do it, isn't it scary?It's a pity that extreme joy begets sorrow, Zhang Pu was too arrogant, Zhou Yanru couldn't tolerate him, and finally a pack of poison sent this careerist who led the government far away to Huangquan Road.

However, because Yang Menglong made such a big fuss, all the literati in the Ming Dynasty were terrified by it. For the first time, the Donglin Party stopped the internal fighting, temporarily shook hands with Wen Tiren, the sworn enemy, and turned their guns on Yang Menglong... Donglin Although the party likes internal fighting and death, it also knows that the reason why they can die without scruple, even if they corrupt the state affairs to a mess, can still be innocent and enjoy a life of rich clothes and fine food. If this foundation is shaken, all of this will cease to exist, but Yang Menglong's governance strategy and his water cycle theory are shaking this foundation!Therefore, Zhang Pu, the king of death, didn't care about continuing to deal with Wen Tiren, and rushed to Nanyang with a group of young generals from Fushe, planning to meet Yang Menglong, and see if he could pull Nanyang officials over to tear down Yang Menglong's platform—— It may not work to ask him to do other things, but he is absolutely expert at this.

However, when he arrived in Nanyang, he discovered that this place seemed different from other places in the Ming Dynasty. The golden signboard of Fushe was of no use here. From officials to students to ordinary people, they all had a lot to do and had no time. Surrounding them, this was the first time he had experienced such cold reception.But after all, he is a person who does important things. No matter how unhappy he is, he will not express it on his face like Hou Fangyu. He just pointed at the people coming and going in a hurry and said calmly: "Thanks to the man surnamed Yang, Nanyang was originally simple and simple. The folk customs have been completely corrupted, rituals and music have collapsed, everyone is proud of pursuing profit, and it is shameful to study. It is natural to look down on students like us."

Chen Huizhen snorted: "It's nothing, the most abominable thing is that the surname Yang destroyed Linquan like a madman, built factories, and destroyed so many beautiful and historic sites! In Nanyang today, we can no longer see the warmth of spring." The beauty of blooming flowers, as far as the eye can see, is full of smoke billowing from the chimney! If you don’t stop him, I’m afraid that the splendid country of Ming Dynasty will be destroyed in his hands. What face do I have to face future generations!”

All the young masters echoed, each one aggrieved.In their eyes, what kind of productivity, what kind of industrialization, all I want to die, I just want green mountains and green waters, forest springs and birds, as for the common people who have no food and clothing, hunger and cold... none of my business?Anyway, it's not me who starved to death!Starving people to death is a trivial matter, but destroying those beautiful scenery for the sake of setting up factories is a heinous crime!
Zhang Pu waved his hands and said: "Everyone, be careful. You must know that there are many people here, and the thief's eyes and ears are everywhere. If it is exposed, it will be extremely harmful to us."

Hou Fangyu snorted: "He still dares to touch me!"

Zhang Pu said: "That thief is so insane that he can do anything. It's better to be careful. Isn't that thief going to call those young people to spread his fallacies and heresies? Wouldn't it be better to refute his fallacies and expose his ugly face than to show off his tongue here?"

Chen Zhenhui slapped her palm with a folding fan, and said, "Wonderful! It's better to be considerate than the Lord!"

Hou Fangyu shouted: "Just do it like this! Then I want to see how that thief can get down!"

Everyone hit it off, stopped whining for the time being, recharged their energy, and waited for the best time to start spraying again. We must spray until Yang Menglong's body is completely damaged and he can't take care of himself!

Zhang Pu pointed at Chen Zhenhui: "By the way, have you got in touch with Wozi and Mizhi?"

Chen Zhenhui is good friends with Chen Zilong and Fang Yizhi. Chen Zilong and Fang Yizhi have stayed in Nanyang for several years, and they know Nanyang well. Zhang Pu attaches great importance to these two. Before arriving in Nanyang, Chen Zhenhui told Chen Zhenhui to try to contact them. , Know yourself and the enemy, and win a hundred battles.Asked at this time, Chen Zhenhui was a little embarrassed: "We have made contact, but they seem to be busy..."

Zhang Pu was very upset: "Busy? What are you busy with? Is it important that we have to defend the righteousness with our lives? Contact them again. If they still stand by and watch at this important moment, then they will be expelled from Fushe !"

Chen Zhenhui was taken aback, she didn't dare to say anything, and went to do it obediently.

Zhang Pu seems to be graceful and elegant, but his hands are not as black as usual. If you make him unhappy, no one will end well, so he'd better be careful...
