The Ming Dynasty started with caution

Chapter 136 The Saint Goes to War

If the incident fails again this time, the Tatars will probably become even more rampant.

Emperor Hongzhi sighed: "I am worried about sending only the Duke of Ying!"

Your Majesty, how can you be more cowardly than me...

"If your Majesty is really worried, I will recommend another person. With this person, the chances of winning the Weiyuan crisis will be at least 20% higher." Yan Chengjin said.

"Who is it?"

"Wang Shouren, the head of the Ministry of Justice!" Yan Chengjin said.

It would be a pity if Wang Shouren's saintly aura was not used. Except for Wang Hua, it seems that there is nothing that Wang Shouren can't handle.

"Wang Shouren? The Western Hanlin who was in a daze all day long?"

The image of a silly scholar suddenly emerged in the minds of the ministers.

"This person is proficient in military tactics. Although he has never been on the battlefield, he knows the situation of the nine borders like the back of his hand!" Wang Yue stood up.

After hearing Wang Yue's words, Emperor Hongzhi was relieved: "I will order Wang Shouren to supervise the army, but 300 Shenying are too few, add 250 elite soldiers from the military camp!"

Not to mention that the officials did not believe it, when Zhang Mao heard that His Majesty only gave 500 people, he did not believe it himself.

Without sword and shield soldiers, dare to fight the Tatar cavalry?

Zhang Mao felt cold in his heart. His Majesty's imperial edict had been issued, and he could only hope that Weiyuan still had enough military strength.

"How long do you want to watch? I'm going to set off."

Wang Shouren was very interested in the three Song telescopes. He squatted on the ground and looked at the tube for a long time.

In addition to the 50 artillery pieces, there were also three Song telescopes escorted to Weiyuan this time.

Zhang Mao had noticed this scholar a long time ago. He heard that he was the son of Wang Hua of the Zhanshi Mansion. He looked like a not very smart boy!

Seeing that the scholar turned a deaf ear, Zhang Mao raised his voice.

"Hey! Is your name Wang Bo'an?"

Wang Shouren came back to his senses and said a little embarrassedly: "It's your subordinate."

"Get on the horse, the journey is long, and the transportation of artillery is slow, so we must set off as soon as possible."

Yan Chengjin looked from a distance, and Wang Shouren's figure gradually disappeared.

The ministers were worried, but he was very relieved. Once Wang Shouren's saintly halo shined, maybe the Nine Borders would have another person who would make the Tatars tremble.

Zeng Mansion,

The front door was very lively. The Song family telescope was just finished and was taken to Weiyuan. The Zhang brothers covered their faces and cried, and came to collect debts.

"If you two brothers continue to make trouble, don't blame me for beating you!" Zeng Jian was also anxious and grabbed the door bolt.

Zhang Yanling stretched his head over and cried: "Smash it, smash it here, if you don't smash it, it's my grandson!"

"Return the silver, the silver is being robbed! Yanling, 20,000 taels of silver, that is the Zhang family's accumulation for future generations, it's all gone, I can't accept it..." Zhang Heling knelt on the ground and cried.

The two brothers were determined not to leave if they couldn't get the silver.

Zeng Jian snorted coldly: "You can go to His Majesty to ask for it, it's not that I embezzled your silver."

Bang!

The door of Zeng's house closed.

Zhang Yanling was dumbfounded and said pitifully: "Brother, don't cry, he closed the door."

Zhang Heling collapsed and sat on the ground.

"Brother, how about we go to the palace and say bad things about Zeng Jian?"

Zhang Heling beat him up: "The prince and the princess have just got married, and they are in favor, unless you still want to eat a stick!" Zhang Yanling shrank his neck and gave up the idea angrily.

"Don't you want the silver?"

"Yes, go to Yan's Mansion!"

His Majesty ordered Yan Chengjin to make two telescopes for the two brothers. Now that one of them has not been handed over to them, of course they have to settle accounts with Yan Chengjin.

However, they found a problem.

How to get to Yan's Mansion...

Zhanshi Mansion,

Wang Hua heard that his son was going to Weiyuan. At this time, half a day had passed since Wang Shouren set out. He hurried to Fengtian Hall to find Emperor Hongzhi.

"Your Majesty, my son can't go to the war. Please send a fast horse to chase him. It's still in time!"

It is normal for a father to worry about his son going to the battlefield. Emperor Hongzhi comforted him: "Master Wang, don't worry. With Duke Ying here, Wang Shouren's life is safe."

Wang Hua stamped his feet in anxiety: "Your Majesty, you don't know, my son is unreliable!"

He was not worried about Wang Shouren. He was afraid that Wang Shouren would get excited and stare at something for a long time, delaying the military plan and causing the Ming Dynasty to suffer another defeat.

Afraid that Emperor Hongzhi would not believe him, Wang Hua told Wang Shouren's dark history.

He stared at the bamboos in the bamboo forest for seven days and seven nights.

On his wedding night, he left his bride behind and meditated in a temple all night. At dawn, he realized that he had married a wife.

Emperor Hongzhi's face twitched fiercely. It turned out that he had a brain problem. How could a normal person not even remember that he had married a wife? Suddenly, he felt that my son Houzhao was quite likable.

A moment later, Yan Chengjin was summoned to the Fengtian Hall. Emperor Hongzhi frowned and said, "Why did you recommend Wang Shouren to me? Do you know that Wang Shouren has a brain problem?"

Yan Chengjin looked blank and confused.

Wang Hua sighed, "Don't blame Yan Chengjin. Only my family knows about these things. If you want to blame someone, blame your son. He looks normal, but actually... Alas... Your Majesty, there is no point in saying more. Send a fast horse to bring that rebellious son back. Don't let him cause any trouble."

Wang Hua is probably the only one in the world who complains about his son's father like this.

It's not Wang Hua's fault that feudal ethics are weird. Anyone who becomes Wang Shouren's father will think that this child is a freak.

He was born after fourteen months of pregnancy.

He couldn't speak at the age of five.

When he could speak, he didn't call me daddy, but recited the entire Book of Rites.

Not only skipping classes and teasing the teacher, but at a young age, he dared to run away from home in Zhejiang Prefecture with a bow on his back, and went north to see the Great Wall alone. Not only did he see the Great Wall, but he also left the country.

Whoever becomes Wang Shouren's father will probably have to worry about him for the rest of his life.

Yan Chengjin said: "Don't worry, Mr. Wang, brother Bo'an has had an epiphany and may never study objects again in this life."

"How do you know?"

"Based on what Brother Bo'an said at the Meridian Gate, knowledge cannot be gained by studying things."

You call this an epiphany?

Wang Hua was so angry that he couldn't breathe. Just after hearing what Master Wang said, even Emperor Hongzhi was not sure.

Yan Chengjin looked troubled: "To be honest with your Majesty, the key to this battle is not the British Duke, but Wang Shouren."

"That's it, Master Wang, don't say any more."

Wang Hua's head buzzed and he felt a little dizzy.

The twentieth day passed by in a blink of an eye,

Spending these days with Wang Shouren, Zhang Mao discovered that this nerd not only understood horse politics, but was also very good at telling jokes, making him laugh. He was obviously different from ordinary nerds, and he soon fell in love with Wang Shouren.

"Hahaha, the joke you told made me laugh to death. There was a fool who sat in the bamboo forest for seven days and seven nights. By the way, what happened to that fool?" Zhang Mao asked with an expectant smile.

Wang Shouren seemed to be telling someone else's story: "That fool was beaten by his father. From then on, he avoided bamboo when he saw it."

"Hahaha"

In terms of communication, Wang Shouren was an out-and-out genius. He slipped out of the customs when he was young, and even went to the Tatar tent, where he drank with the Tatars and became brothers.

He was demoted to Longchang and could not understand the local language, but he was able to mingle with the locals.

Wang Shouren's ability to communicate beyond the boundaries of language is an important reason for the widespread spread of mind science.
