Be a master through ancient times

The southwestern border was in full swing, and the reinforcements and the Yuexi army were busy recovering the robbed city together.Kou Jing led the soldiers of the Shenji Battalion to control the fort, and after a round of shelling, he went to the battlefield to kill the enemy himself.Because of a sense of anxiety that has been lingering in his heart, he vented by killing the enemy when he went to the battlefield. After several downtimes, he actually left a great reputation among the enemy troops. Every time he went to battle, the people around him Enemy forces are always the fewest.

But this does not prevent him from killing the enemy.At the beginning of the expedition, the commander gave him some firecrackers. In the hands of ordinary people, they can only look at them greedily but dare not use them lightly. Without them, the ammunition is insufficient.

However, Kou Jing led the mission of the Shenji Battalion, and had sufficient ammunition to fire the blunderbuss like an arm and finger, and could kill the enemy invisible within a hundred steps.Often only one sound is heard, and a person will fall down from the enemy's place, with a big black hole smoking on his forehead, and the melon of his head is almost smashed.

The enemy general didn't dare to fight for a while, fearing that he would be aimed at and killed with a "touch".

Because of his reminder, Li Zhi didn't mind his previous reckless behavior for a long time. Seeing him brave and good at fighting now, he cherished his talent even more. When submitting the battle report, he would mention Kou Jing's contribution every time. Let him earn a lot of attention from the emperor and ministers.

His reputation spread, some people were happy and some were sad.But in any case, the southwestern border issue is gradually approaching victory, but the situation in southern Fujian is not so good.

Since last December when a group of Japanese came ashore to massacre the village and killed the famous Juyeshan people, they seemed to realize that it was impossible to reconcile the old relationship with Wei, so they became more and more rampant, sometimes in the offshore. Seeing the pointed boats of the Japanese people, under the panic, everyone has a hard time this year.

Of course, it is impossible to block the entire sea area. The navy stationed here has only 6000 people, and there are 48 warships, of which [-] are cruise ships.When there is no enemy situation, these are enough.But now that there is war, these are not enough.

The imperial court's reinforcements have not arrived for a while, mainly because they have hesitated for a long time in the selection of manpower.If you want to send people from the Xijiang Daying Camp, Xijiang and Nanmin are old neighbors, and you can send troops there quickly.However, the camp in Xijiang Province just changed its defense a few years ago, and the landlubbers who came here were all landlubbers from the north and the central region. They are naturally brave and good at fighting on land, but as soon as they got on the rickety boat, they immediately vomited. It is said that if the enemy is killed, it is difficult to even save his life.

The navy of the Great Wei is not too many. In addition to the Southern Fujian Navy, there are Guangdong and Guangxi Navy, Haiping Navy, Ludi Navy and so on.Emperor Tianhe counted and called, and finally sent the Guangdong and Guangxi navy to support, but the distance between the two places is very far, and for the time being, the Nanfu navy has to support it alone.

The disadvantage of insufficient manpower soon appeared. Often, the naval personnel received the news only after the Japanese plundered ships or villages.This way of touring combat made the people of the navy very distressed. It can be seen how accurate the old saying of the ancestors is that there is only a thousand days to be a thief, but not a thousand days to prevent a thief.The Japanese are like bloodthirsty sharks in the sea. It is impossible to guard against these pervasive Japanese. They can only patrol these sea areas day and night to prevent the Japanese from doing more insane things.

The tense situation of the war has also affected the government offices of the entire Southern Fujian Province. People are panicking these days, and they are afraid that when the war breaks out, they will be caught and sacrificed first.Those with backers are now writing letters to try to mobilize them, those without backers can only stay here with a sad face, and everyone has become more cautious when traveling on weekdays, as long as there are less than five or six guards around them, they will not out.

Zhangzhou Mansion, where Chu Ci is located, is on the outskirts. If you look at it from the map, it looks like a sticking out foot in Southern Fujian Province. If it is dangerous, their place is the first place to bear the brunt of danger.

Ever since he was almost in danger last year, Steward Xu has been very worried about Chu Ci's safety. Brother Ah Tie has also changed from a secret guard to a bright guard. There is only one thing they have to do, and that is to protect him. Chu Ci.

In fact, Chuci did not go out many times. After officially receiving the news of the declaration of war between the imperial court and the Japanese kingdom at the beginning of the year, all matters unrelated to the war were no longer carried out, including the cancellation of the county examination this year, so as to avoid excessive personnel turnover. Give the Japanese a chance.Chu Ci suspects that if the battle lines between the two sides are further extended, this year's test will probably be cancelled.The reason is that the treasury of Wei may not be able to afford such a huge expenditure.

Apart from working in the yamen of the Tixue Department and writing some new textbooks, Chu Ci also tutors a few children in the backyard.These children are familiar with his temperament, and they often bargain with him when they are studying. The most serious one is Lu Jingshu who joined later.

Before she was brought back, Chu Ci called the children of the family to hold a meeting, the purpose was to warn them not to bully her sister.Back then, Fu Ming'an was once hostile to the two little ones. Of course, he was a boy, and Chu Ci was happy to watch them fight wits and bravery.But Lu Jingshu is different, she is a girl, and even more sensitive, if she is made aware of the malice of these boys, she will probably be very sad.

The two little ones looked a little aggrieved. They had grown up, and they were no longer the seven or eight-year-old hairy kids they used to be. How could they do that kind of thing out of jealousy?Uncle looks down on them too!

Chu Ci couldn't help but patted their heads gently, and said, "Uncle is wrong to blame you. It seems that you have been able to be a good brother and take good care of your sister. By the way, you guys should also remember not to come in and out at will." In Jingshu's bedroom, there is only one girl in our yard now, so we need to pay attention to these."

Several people nodded one after another. They understood the reason that men and women have different seats at the age of seven. Even if they are younger sisters, they must abide by the defense of men and women, and they cannot let outsiders know and look down on younger sisters.

Chu Ci was very relieved, it seems that his family should not produce the kind of Baoyu who likes to drill girls' bedrooms.However, the sentence just now also reminded him that it was inconvenient to have only one girl in the yard.

He was thinking about how to find an older girl to keep her company, but housekeeper Xu helped him solve this problem.Looking at the unsmiling little girl in front of him, Chu Ci felt a little apprehensive. She looked only fifteen or sixteen years old, could she take good care of Jingshu?

Butler Xu chuckled and assured that this girl not only knew how to take care of others, but also had enough martial arts to protect herself. With her by her side, Chu Ci didn't have to worry at all.

Chu Ci glanced suspiciously at this aunt named Ah Qing, and then got an unfriendly look.Chu Ci smiled awkwardly, he actually just wanted to see what kind of self-protecting martial arts was like, and he really didn't mean to offend her.

After Ah Qing was sent to help Jingshu clean up the room, Housekeeper Xu told Chu Ci about Ah Qing's background. After hearing this embarrassing experience, Chu Ci sighed, no wonder he always felt that this girl had thorns , growing up in such an environment, can it do without thorns?I'm afraid it has been devoured by those wolves long ago.

While sighing, Chu Ci was a little curious, what kind of people did Steward Xu have under his command?In the past, there was a man like Ah Tie who was skilled in martial arts and good at hiding, and later there was a woman like Ah Qing, not to mention those subordinates who each had different abilities.

At the same time, he also had a little bit of curiosity about his "Master Taishan" - Mr. Kou. What kind of person is this man who can take someone like Steward Xu under his command?Also created a huge business empire, and the least bit of publicity.I always feel that there is a big difference between him and those wealthy and idle Tian Jiaweng.

After Lu Jingshu came, seeing the friendly people and the bedroom specially cleaned up for her, all the uneasiness in her heart was finally dispelled.She was not a pampered little girl, she spontaneously went to help Zhang Hu as soon as she came, and wanted to help him choose and wash vegetables.

Zhang Hu quickly refused. In his opinion, the little girl should be happy just like sister Ying'er.

Lu Jingshu, who was rejected, was a little frustrated, until Chu Ci took her to the study and said that she would learn with everyone, she seemed to be hit by a huge surprise, her bright eyes gleamed with happiness, and asked: "Can you?" ?"

"Of course." Chu Ci patted her head carefully, "Girls also need to learn more knowledge, so as not to be deceived."

Lu Jingshu nodded excitedly. She used to read and write at Juyeshanren's place.Grandpa once told her that the outside world is more harsh on her daughter's family, so she should not show it off, so as not to attract others' tongues.

After coming here, Lu Jingshu found that there were many people living next to her.She originally thought that her adoptive father would stop teaching her because of other people's eyes, but she didn't expect that he would let her study with these brothers who were taking the imperial examination.What I study is no longer those couplet poems, but the imperial examination books such as the Four Books and Five Classics.Like a shriveled conch, she desperately absorbs knowledge and nutrients to enrich herself.

In fact, she didn't have any idea about her own destiny. Country people, whose girl is precious?She just worked a little harder than others.After she gradually learned how to read and write, she realized how unfair the environment she was in was like being shackled by invisible shackles. All the dogmatic etiquette seemed to be set up for girls.

Now, Chu Ci treats everyone equally, making her feel that the shackles seem to be looser.

……

During the day, Chuci works and teaches, and sometimes goes to various county schools to give a few classes. Now that there are fewer official duties, he has more opportunities to communicate with the students.Whenever he goes to class, the teachers and students of the local county school are very happy, because every time Chu Ci talks about things that cannot be learned in textbooks, what he says is always thought-provoking, whether it is a student who has not experienced the world or has been involved in the world. Everyone who has lived for a long time can get different inspirations.

It is also fun to practice Chu Ci from the old profession. Due to the constraints of the conditions, the students who can study in the county school are basically those who want to learn spontaneously, and there are very few people who do not want to study.Every time Chu Ci asks a question, the hands below are all raised together. The scene of scrambling to answer the question makes those gentlemen feel very sad. Why is it not like this in their class?

At night, Chuci began to sort out the manuscripts of Juyeshanren. Because these manuscripts were too messy, many of them were essays and the like, so the handwriting was rather scribbled, and it took some effort to decipher them.After such a long time, he has almost sorted out half of the things. After everything is sorted out, he still needs to edit, delete and modify the chapters and contents. In this step, he may have to ask Du Yu and his gentlemen for help.

Apart from the manuscripts, what Juyeshanren left behind is the sea chart.Except for the terrain and some symbols, there is not a single word on it. Chu Ci once judged that this should be the military deployment map of the Japanese.So as soon as Juye Shanren's funeral was done, Chu Ci approached the sailors and wanted to ask to see their Marshal Zhu Wei or Admiral Fan Ju.

Of these two people, one has the highest status, and the other is the most familiar with Chu Ci. Apart from them, Chu Ci dare not give this thing to others easily.In his opinion, there must be something wrong with the Japanese being able to escape every time. If the charts are leaked to scare the snakes, it will be even more difficult to have such an opportunity next time.

However, neither of these two people sent news that they wanted to meet Chu Ci, and I don't know if the news from the people below did not pass it on or they were really too busy.After Chu Ci inquired three times, he no longer placed his hopes on them, but prepared to find another way to meet these two people.

Just when he was about to find another way, Fan Ju suddenly disguised his identity and quietly came to the Tixue Office.
