Dai Mao just mentioned Cao Junshi in the morning, and the other party came over now. Wang Shijing looked at Dai Mao. Could it be because of Wang Jisong? He opened the curtain, Dai Mao and Junshi Cao saluted again and entered the tent.
"Wang Shao Zhengjun."
"Good morning, General Dai and Master Cao."
Brother Hu raised his eyelids and nestled quietly on the bed, his soft belly protecting the sleeping little prince and little Xingyi.
Seeing that Shao Yun'an was going to make tea, Military Master Cao immediately said, "I dare not bother Zhengjun. I came here to ask for something."
Military division Cao is Dai Mingrong's confidant, but the military division in the army does not have a formal official position, and his attitude towards Wang Shijing and Shao Yun'an is much more cautious than that of Dai Mao. When he said this, Wang Shijing and Shao Yun'an were very surprised. What's the matter? Can you ask Cao Junshi to "beg"? Wang Shijing immediately asked, "I don't know what's the matter with Master Cao?"
Cao Junshi bowed first, and then explained his intention. It turned out that Cao Junshi was not looking for "things", but "people".
The three children Jiang Moxi, Wang Qing and Nizi were wandering in the military camp. When passing by the craftsman camp, Shi Qiang didn't intend to take them in for a visit. Wang Qing and Nizi had no idea, but Jiang Moxi didn't leave. Jiang Moxi is the owner of the private workshop, and after just a few glances, he knows what this place does. The craftsman camp is not a secret place in the barracks of the Wing Tiger Army, and the barracks is only a branch of the craftsman camp. Department, the main production part is in the city. Shi Qiang didn't bring them in because the craftsman's battalion was full of low-status auxiliary soldiers, craftsmen, and handymen.
However, Jiang Moxi entered the craftsman camp as soon as he turned his footsteps. He didn't even ask if he could enter. Wang Qing and Nizi followed his eldest brother's lead, and the two children followed him in. Messed up. The captain of the craftsman camp rushed over to greet him, but Jiang Moxi didn't even look at him, and went straight to the place where the craftsmen were busy. This captain must have a bad face, but he didn't dare to get angry.
Wang Qing and Nizi are not too dirty, but rather curious, but Jiang Moxi is different. After looking around in the craftsman camp, Jiang Moxi asked Shi Qiang to take Wang Qing and Nizi away, and he wanted to stay. Wang Qing and The girl didn't leave, and Jiang Moxi didn't say much, she rolled up her sleeves and asked someone to take a pen and paper.
Wang Shijing and Shao Yun'an don't know exactly what knowledge Jiang Moxi has learned, but it is a fact that the private workshop has successfully developed gunpowder and produced many "advanced weapons" such as sabers, long knives, light crossbows, heavy crossbows, and continuous crossbows. , this matter is kept secret from the outside world, but it cannot be hidden from Wang Shijing and Shao Yunan. Wang Shijing did not participate in the affairs of the private workshop. Jiang Moxi and the old general were responsible for everything. The owner of the private workshop personally guided the craftsman camp.
The captain who was not dissatisfied at first did not dare to have any dissatisfaction after Jiang Moxi drew a blueprint of the dagger, and hurriedly sent someone to report to the commander, but the commander ran away, and the young commander went to Kuyeguan again For the time being, the only one who can make the decision is Junjun Cao, who is the most trusted by the commander. Junshi Cao immediately went to the craftsman camp when he got the news. After that, Junjun Cao ordered the craftsman camp to be put on guard. "Borrower".
"Duke, I implore the Duke to allow Young Master Jiang to give some advice in the craftsman camp." Master Cao saluted, and Dai Mao knew the purpose of Master Cao when he came. Of course he knew what people like Jiang Moxi meant to them. wearing something. After Military Master Cao finished speaking, Dai Mao also immediately said: "Duke, Zhengjun, Young Master Jiang is young and promising. He is the talent that our Wing Tiger Army urgently needs. Young Master Jiang just needs to go over and give advice when he has time."
Wang Shijing raised his hand, told Dai Mao not to worry, and said: "Brother Xi is willing to go to the craftsman camp, and I will do everything with him. It's just that this matter should not be publicized. Brother Xi is a child prodigy, and the emperor also values him very much. He There can be no mishaps in our safety.”
Cao Junshi and Dai Mao were immediately excited, and Dai Mao patted his chest and promised: "The last general will guarantee the safety of Young Master Jiang with his life! The Duke of the Kingdom, the righteous king, please accept the last general's worship!"
Wang Shijing hastily stretched out his hand to support him, but said: "To tell you the truth, General, I am also very curious about the craftsman camp, I wonder if I can go."
"The end general can't ask for it!"
Dai Mao said that the wind is the rain, so he took Wang Shijing and left, and Cao Junshi followed. Shao Yun'an showed a satisfied smile. The timing was really a coincidence. Brother Jing just wanted to improve the conditions in the army, and Cao Junshi sent the craftsman battalion over. There are a large number of all-round craftsmen concentrated in the crafting camp. With Brother Xi around, maybe Brother Jing can really achieve what he wants.
Shao Yun'an was powerless to do this kind of thing, Brother Liuhu was guarding outside, Shao Yun'an entered the space, and went to find out all the books that Wang Shijing and Jiang Moxi might need to use, sorted them out and put them away.
Wang Shijing and Jiang Moxi didn't come back until evening, and Wang Qing was gone, only Nizi came back for lunch. Shao Yunan made lunch and sent it to the craftsman camp for the father and son. He also specially made a large pot of boiled pork slices for the chefs in the craftsman camp.
The Yihu army respected the loyal and brave husband and wife from the bottom of their hearts. Only Wang Shaozhengjun would cook for them by himself. Wang Shijing didn't care about looking for his old comrades to talk about the past, so he plunged into it with Jiang Moxi In the artisan camp, although Wang Qing doesn't understand those techniques, he still insists on staying in the artisan camp to study. For scholars, the status of artisans is low. As a loyal and brave son, Wang Qing has such determination and won a lot of goodwill .
In the evening, after Wang Shijing, Jiang Moxi and Wang Qing came back, they ate without looking up, and asked to enter the space. Shao Yunan drew up the curtains early, expressing his intention to rest early, and sent everyone (tiger) into the space. He stayed outside alone, and he took everyone out the next morning. With Wang Shijing in the space, Xiao Xingyi and the little prince are not worried that no one will take care of them.
As the commander continued to "disappear", Shao Yun'an and Nizi became the most idle people. Shi Qiang became a nanny, took Nizi to play around in the barracks every day, and took her to ride horses, Shi Qiang was not unhappy at all, he was happy. Let's not talk about how well-behaved Nizi is, but the various snacks in Nizi's bag feed him absolutely willingly. Nizi was not unhappy that the two older brothers did not accompany her. After playing until nothing was new, she obediently took care of the two younger brothers with her little dad, helped him cook, and she still had to practice the piano and study homework. There are many things.
Seven days later, the "missing" Marshal Dai Mingrong came back. The blue under his eyes, the unshaven beard on his chin, and the expression on his face that had been hungry for so many meals almost scared the soldiers to death, but Dai Mingrong The light in his eyes was unprecedentedly hot, and he went to find his son as soon as he came back. After the father and son murmured for a long time in the handsome tent, Dai Mingrong called his personal guards and handed him a wooden box with a lock, asking him to send it to Dai Ming, the general of Kuyeguan, as quickly as possible. in the hands of the army.
Several senior generals headed by Dai Mao and others asked to meet the commander-in-chief. Because the commander-in-chief was not there, the armaments brought this time remained as they were, and no one dared to move them. The secret weapons that Dai Zhanxiao brought back last time were kept in a safe place, only Dai Mingrong and Dai Zhanxiao knew about them. This time, Dai Mingrong stayed with the generals who had followed him for many years and held a closed-door meeting.
This day, Shao Yun'an didn't see Fu Shuai and Dai Mao those generals again. In the middle of the night, Dai Mao left the barracks with a team of one hundred elite soldiers, pulling thirty carts, and disappeared. The next day, Wang Shijing asked to see Dai Mingrong, and Weng's "son-in-law" discussed behind closed doors for most of the day. After that, Dai Mingrong held a closed-door meeting with the generals again. After Dai Zhanxiao came back from Kuyeguan, Dai Mingrong asked all the armies including the Vanguard Army to compete in the whole army, and selected the most elite 1,000 people to form a special battalion, led by Dai Zhanxiao, and the Vanguard The battalion was temporarily handed over to Dai Zhanxiao's adjutant, Shi Qiang's brother Shi Zhuang.
After the formation of this special battalion was completed, Dai Zhanxiao took the special battalion and left the Yihu Army's barracks, and Wang Shijing went with the army. At the same time, a secret document about the formation and training plan of the special battalion was sent to Kuiyeguan. The general Dai Mingjun used the same method to select 1,000 people from the Flying Eagle Army to form a special battalion, led by Dai Zhanxiao and Shao Yunan. His cousin, the eldest son of Dai Ming Army Commander Dai Zhanli.
In the capital, the urgent secret letter at the border - the seal was delivered to Donglin Hall and Emperor Yongming's desk. Every time he read it, Emperor Yongming's mood would be refreshed for several days. This time, it was almost dark, and the tiger was in a hurry. Emperor Yongming, who was eating with the Queen, didn't even have time to wipe his mouth, so he got up and hurried to the East Lin Hall. After a while, a eunuch came to Jingyou Palace, and the emperor asked the queen to go there quickly.
As soon as the Empress entered the East Hall, she heard Emperor Yongming's excited voice: "Qi You, come and see, General Hussars sent me a big letter!"
Emperor Yongming happily called out the Empress's name, and the Empress quickly walked over: "What ceremony makes the Emperor so happy?"
Emperor Yongming held a stick of different thickness with both hands, and handed it to the queen: "Come and see."
When the queen got it, she was full of doubts: "What is this?" Dizi? Obviously not.
"Look from here." Emperor Yongming held the "stick" in one hand and told the queen where to look. The Queen held up the stick in perplexity, what is there to see in the stick
Emperor Yongming's hand slowly rotated the lower part of the stick, and the vision of the empress who was originally blurred in front of him gradually became clear. When he saw it, he exclaimed heavily and turned his head: "Your Majesty!"
Emperor Yongming had a smirk on his face, the queen pulled his hand down, aimed it again, and imitated the movement of Emperor Yongming just now and rotated. After the queen fully understood the meaning of this thing, he couldn't suppress his excitement, ran to the window, pushed the window open, and raised the "stick" again. Emperor Yongming walked behind the queen, put his arms around his waist, and whispered in his ear, "Qi You, can you see the palace wall?"
The Queen was so excited that he couldn't put into words, he didn't know if the little torches he saw were from the palace wall, all he knew was that he could see very far!
Putting down his hands, the queen turned around. Having led soldiers and fought in battles, he immediately understood how important this thing was.
"Your Majesty! This, this!"
"Qi You, don't be excited, don't be excited." Emperor Yongming would not tell the queen how excited he was just now, and laughed wantonly, "I know what you thought. Haha, I didn't expect that Mr. and Mrs. Zhongyong went to the border. It can still bring me so many surprises." Lowering his voice, Emperor Yongming said softly, "This is what Wang Shijing and Jiang Moxi worked together, it's called clairvoyance. Wang Shijing said, he wants to stay in Huxing pass for a while Day, I, yes."
Emperor Yongming said the last two words a little nervously. The longer Wang Shijing stayed at the border, the later it would be for the prince to come back. Emperor Yongming also missed the prince very much, but compared with some things, the prince's return to Beijing is not so important.
The Empress shook her head: "Your Majesty, haven't you understood me for so many years? Even if the crown prince has to stay in Huxing Guan for five or ten years, as long as it is good for me, Dayan, I will say nothing!"
Emperor Yongming hugged the queen tightly, and embraced his only lover in this life: "I knew Qi You could understand. Qi You, I, I am very happy, very happy."
"The emperor..."
The two embraced tightly.
Five days later, the censor of Yushitai reported to the emperor that the embankment of Jiangnan Road collapsed, and the river flooded a village near the river, but no major losses were caused. The Yushi Canzuo Ministry of Industry committed dereliction of duty in the construction of the river embankment. Emperor Yongming requested a thorough investigation unprecedentedly, but within ten days, more than a dozen officials, including the Minister of the Ministry of Industry and the Minister of Industry, were demoted and shut down.
Kang Rui, the former servant of the Ministry of Rites, was transferred to the Ministry of Industry as Minister of the Ministry of Industry. Immediately after the spring encirclement, a group of new Jinshi entered the Ministry of Industry through recommendation and selection, filling the vacancies of officials in the Ministry of Industry. Emperor Yongming urgently transferred Jiang Kangning, the magistrate of Chinan Prefecture, as the Minister of the Household Department, Su Jin'an, the son of Lu Guogong, as the prefect of Chinan Prefecture, and the former Shangshu of the Household Department was transferred to the cabinet. After all the officials took office, Emperor Yongming summoned the Ministers of the Ministry of Industry, Ministers of the Ministry of War, and Ministers of the Ministry of Households. The Ministry of Households issued silver, and the Ministry of War cooperated. The Minister of the Ministry of Industry obtained a large number of drawings from the emperor. The Ministry of Industry must produce finished products according to the drawings in the shortest possible time.
At the end of July, the Great Khan of the Huhar Kingdom once again strongly demanded that Dai Mingrong exchange King Keqin in accordance with the agreement between the two countries.
