A white light flashed, and the blade without an edge struck Zhang Mu's chest. Then Tang Shunzhi bumped his shoulder, knocking Zhang Mu back. Before he could stand still, he struck Zhang Mu's shoulder with another knife.
Zhang Mu's entire arm was gone, and the Yanling knife clattered to the ground. His chest also hurt a lot. Even though he was wearing chain mail, it was still painful to hit him every time he was struck.
Especially the last knife was supposed to land on Zhang Mu's neck, but Tang Shunzhi deliberately missed it by a few inches.
"I lost." Zhang Mu was very depressed. He came from a gangster background and had been with Wang Yuan for almost ten years, but he actually lost to Tang Shunzhi, who had only been practicing swordsmanship for two months.
Tang Shunzhi sheathed his sword and clasped his fists: "Promise!"
Wang Yuan was also speechless. Regardless of his physique, just in terms of his understanding, Tang Shunzhi's martial arts talent actually surpassed Yu Dayou's.
What kind of monster is this?
In history, Tang Shunzhi did not learn marksmanship until he was thirty-seven years old, and ten years later he became Qi Jiajun's marksmanship teacher. Qi Jiguang's famous "Mandarin Duck Formation" was improved from the "Mandarin Duck Formation" taught by Tang Shunzhi. Qi Jiguang's concept of multi-arms combat also
He was deeply influenced by Tang Shunzhi's "Wu Bian". At the same time, Tang Shunzhi also taught Yu Dayou the art of war, and "Yu Long and Qi Hu" were all students of Tang Shunzhi.
Tang Shunzhi was also one of the "Eight Talents of Jiajing" and "The Three Great Masters of Jiajing", and was a pioneer in practical learning that unified the left and right schools of Yangming's philosophy of mind.
Historically, Jiajing demoted Luo Hongxian (the number one scholar) and Tang Shunzhi (Huiyuan) to civilian positions. Luo Hongxian returned to Jishui, Jiangxi to study hard and lived in Shilian Cave for sixteen years. Tang Shunzhi also built three thatched huts and worked hard with the same
After sixteen years of cultivating the mind, my friend couldn't bear it anymore, so he changed the door panel he slept on to a small bed.
The works left by Tang Shunzhi cover everything from astronomy and geography, poetry and songs, military arts and martial arts, classics and history, and even water conservancy books such as "Sanwu Water Conservancy Records".
Tang Shunzhi in this time and space was also very crazy. The "Positional Geometry" he handed to Luo Xiu was just a very elementary topology booklet. In the past three months, while practicing swordsmanship and archery, he also supplemented and improved the topology theory.
Wrote two more related mathematics papers.
"Master, master!"
Zhou Chong quickly rushed to the martial arts arena and shouted to announce the good news: "Young master has won the imperial examination!"
Wang Yuan asked: "What's your rank?"
Zhou Chong replied: "Twelfth place."
Wang Yuan nodded and said: "It's okay."
As soon as he finished speaking, Song Ling'er, Huang E and others also came here to celebrate.
Six months ago, Wang Ce was escorted by Song Ling'er's dowry bodyguards and returned to Guizhou to take part in the provincial examination. Now news finally came that he had passed the examination.
However, in Wang Yuan's view, ranking 12th in the Guizhou Provincial Examination is really nothing to make a fuss about. This result is too difficult to participate in the general examination. Whether he can win the Jinshi depends on luck. How can the newly recruited disciple Tang Shunzhi be as strong as him?
"Congratulations, sir!" Tang Shunzhi bowed and congratulated.
Wang Yuan smiled and said: "I hope that next year, Quan Zi will be able to study in the same class as Ying De (Tang Shunzhi)."
Tang Shunzhi said: "Mianzhi (Wang Ce) is a good brother and has a good academic background. He is also a disciple of Mr. Jian Zhai (Yang Shen). He will definitely be named on the gold list in the coming year."
Wang Yuan always found it easy to name his children. This time Wang Ce went back to Guizhou for the rural examination. Before leaving, he casually chose the word "Mianzhi", which is a bad word.
As for Yang Shen, because he was not exiled to Yunnan, both Yuexi and Sheng'an were gone, and he now calls himself "Jianzhai". Many poems and tunes he wrote in adversity were also lost, including those copied by Wang Yuan.
The first "Linjiang Fairy" can be regarded as a saved literary classic.
…
"Cough cough cough cough!"
In late autumn, the weather turned cooler, and Zhang Yong fell ill due to a minor cold.
On the hospital bed, Zhang Yong asked feebly: "Is your Majesty accurate?"
The adopted son Zhang Long said: "It's accurate. The governor of Gu is also accurate."
Zhang Yong and Gu Dayong are both "Eight Tigers", and they are also the only two remaining among the Eight Tigers. In the past few months, both of them have been in poor health. They asked to resign and return home every now and then. Zhu Houzhao was afraid of trouble and never approved it.
, only sending imperial doctors to treat them frequently.
After coughing a few more times, Zhang Yong said helplessly: "Well, Your Majesty is right, but I am like this now, how can I survive to return to my hometown to retire? I am afraid that my guest will die in the capital."
Zhang Yong's hometown is very close to the capital, in Xincheng County, Baoding Prefecture. It is only more than 300 miles away, but even 300 miles cannot support a sick person.
All the land that Zhang Yong occupied in the suburbs of Beijing was donated to the Railway Department of the Ministry of Industry. He only asked Wang Yuan to help take care of his posthumous affairs. He also donated 3,000 taels of silver to the Physics Society and another 2,000 taels of silver to the School of Physics, leaving the rest
All the money was shipped back to his hometown in batches.
As for his brothers and nephews, Zhang Yong asked them to return most of the land because they couldn't keep it if they didn't retreat. But those guys were so greedy for profit that they didn't listen to Zhang Yong's advice at all. Whatever happened to them in the future was their own fault, and Zhang Yong, a dying man, didn't care.
Not that many.
Gu Dayong's health is slightly better, and all the land in the suburbs of Beijing has been donated. Not only has it been donated to the School of Physics as a study field, but a large area has also been donated to the Imperial College.
Gu Dayong's only younger brother, Gu Dashan, was in the capital. Gu Dashan was relatively calm, but Gu Dashan's sons were arrogant and domineering. After a beating, Gu Dayong forced his family to disperse and leave the farm shop, taking hundreds of thousands of taels of silver with them.
Returning to his hometown was a joy. He finally understood that the water in the capital was too deep, so it was better to go back to his hometown to buy property.
Gu Dayong came to visit and said sincerely: "Brother Zhang, I will leave Beijing tomorrow. Please take care of yourself in the capital."
Zhang Yongqiang sat up while supporting his sick body: "Brother Gu, how fast are you? It's not too late to wait until spring."
Gu Da said in a low voice: "In the past two years, everything inside and outside the court has been very peaceful. The more it is like this, the more scary it becomes. Your Majesty has given permission for us brothers to return home. The seal will be handed over for as long as half a month or as little as a few days."
On that day, the officials will surely rush to impeach me. I'm afraid that I will be too slow to leave the capital!"
"As long as His Majesty is alive, you won't be afraid of those officials." Zhang Yong could only comfort himself in this way.
Historically, the fate of these two people was not good. They were both thrown into guarding the imperial mausoleum by Yang Tinghe. Especially Gu Dayong, because he had a bad relationship with the civil servants. After guarding the tomb for ten years, he was liquidated by Zhang Cong and his house was confiscated. Where did he hide?
None can escape.
What the two of them fear most now is that there will be harmony inside and outside the court.
Regardless of whether it is true harmony or fake harmony, if the civil servants do not start fighting among themselves, they will collectively take out their anger on the eunuchs!
The two eunuchs who had deep grudges put aside all their grudges and gathered together to reminisce about the past. Zhang Yong even had a few sips of wine.
The era that belongs to them has passed. They don't want to save their lives, but just don't harm the family. If the civil servants really want to take revenge, they will be able to take action after twenty or thirty years. Once they take action, the whole family will be exiled to the frontier.
The next day, Gu Dayong left the capital, taking with him all the clansmen in the capital, and donated thousands of acres of fertile land to the Imperial College.
The next day, Zhang Yong also left the capital and died of illness on the way to Zhuozhou.
The Kedao Yanguan really went crazy and swarmed to impeach him. All the memorials were suppressed by the new Chief of Ceremonies.
The palm prints and the pen are finally separated.
The eunuch named Wang Chang and the eunuch Bingbi were named Zhang Cong. They were Zhang Yong's confidants. Zhang Cong was also Zhang Yong's godson. They would not allow the civil servants to say anything.
The pawprint of the Royal Horse Supervisor is called Gu Zhong, and he is the godson of Gu Dayong.
These three eunuchs are not very impressive, especially the eunuch Zhang Cong, who promoted and appointed his own family members crazily, which temporarily diverted the attention of the officials. Perhaps this was Zhang Yong's purpose, to let a
The arrogant and domineering eunuch acts as a pen, and the hatred value can be transferred quickly in a short period of time.
As long as Zhang Cong does crazy things, the civil servants will think Zhang Yong is good, and who is good and who is bad will be compared.
"Cough cough cough!"
Yang Tinghe also fell ill this winter. When he heard that Zhang Yong and Gu Dayong had left Beijing, he actually felt a sense of sadness.
Why is the emperor not dead yet?
He has been critically ill several times as promised, but it is difficult to cure him with the promised medicine and stone!
If Zhu Houzhao does not die, Yang Tinghe will not be able to hold on anymore. He is still waiting for the emperor to die and have a perfect curtain call as a virtuous prime minister!
Good mountain garden.
"Bang bang bang!"
A row of breech flintlock rifled muskets fired a volley, Zhu Houzhao's face glowed red, and he clapped his hands energetically: "This rifled musket is really powerful, it can hit far and accurately, I will spend 10,000 yuan to build it first, I have a lot of money now!"
