: Recognize your godfather and sell your son
Tie Mo is not unfamiliar with the name Zhao Shizhen. He once read this person when he was reading historical materials in later generations.
Firearms developed rapidly in the Ming Dynasty, especially in the late Ming Dynasty, when firearm master Zhao Shizhen and artillery expert Sun Yuanhua made firearm technology develop leaps and bounds.
However, due to the limited wealth of the imperial court, there was no way to make a lot of money to improve the firearms, which led to the abnormal development of firearms in the late Ming Dynasty. Although the firearms and artillery technology had qualitative development, the border troops still used old firearms.
Moreover, there is another very important reason, that is, neither Zhao Shizhen nor Sun Yuanhua are valued.
Let me first talk about Zhao Shizhen, who entered the court as an official and served as the chief clerk of the eighth-rank Honglu Temple for 18 years. How could the eighth-rank official in the eighth-rank official be excluded to be able to get so miserable?
What's more, what does Honglu Temple do? It is the institution that is in charge of the etiquette of foreign guests' court meetings. It belongs to the Ministry of Rites, a firearm expert, and has been an eight-rank etiquette official for 18 years.
Sun Yuanhua was even more miserable. Because of his religious belief, he was excluded everywhere. Later, because of his pleading Kong Youde, he was framed by Wang Daochun and was criticized for treason and slashed his head.
If you don’t know Zhao Jinrong’s identity, it would be fine. Now that you know that he is Zhao Shizhen’s son, you can’t let go of anything you say.
Tie Mo stared at Zhao Jinrong and stared at him, "Old Zhao, do you have a son?"
Hearing this, Zhao Jinrong's old face turned black and covered with a layer of frost, "I have never married in my life, how can I have children?"
Tie Mo was a little depressed, "Old Zhao, you have no children, what should you do? It is spread to the inside but not the outside, and it is spread to the son but not the daughter. Are you making things difficult for the younger generation?"
"Hey, why don't you waste your time in vain? Boy, you'd better go back!"
"Maybe everything is God's will. I am destined to be sorry for my ancestors!"
Zhao Jinrong's face was gloomy and his voice was unwilling to accept it.
Tie Mo couldn't help but think about what Old Man Zhao said, did he suffer injuries when he was young and had hidden illness, which led to his never-marrying and having no children in his life?
It probably is this, otherwise Zhao Jinrong would not have watched his unique skills end from now on.
Thinking of this, Tie Mo suddenly stood up and took two steps back. Because it was too sudden, Zhao Jinrong was startled.
"What are you doing? I..."
Before he could finish his words, he saw Tie Mo kneeling directly on the ground with a plop. Zhao Jinrong was stunned.
"Dad, you are always here, you will be worshipped by your child."
The crutch in Zhao Jinrong's hand fell to the ground, his hands trembling violently, looking disbelief.
"What are you...?"
"You have no children or daughters, and your kids have no father or mother. This is not the right thing to do. If you are your father, I will respect you well and support you in your old age, dad!"
Tie Mo raised his head with a serious expression: "The child has decided to give birth to a boy in the future. Find someone with your surname Zhao and be your grandson."
"Bang!"
Zhao Jinrong trembled all over, his legs pressed against the table, shaking the teacup on the table.
Tie Mo's words were so shocking. Zhao Jinrong finally realized it after a while. He stood up and pointed at Tie Mo with an excited expression, "What you... are you saying true? Have a son and my husband's surname?"
"Of course it's true! My younger generation always speaks with spit and nails. If I lie, I will curse me to put three pieces of tofu into the butt of the chicken."
"Okay...Okay...Okay..."
"father!"
Zhao Jinrong was immediately happy, and his teeth were smiling while touching his beard and revealed, "Oh, let's make a louder sound!"
"father!"
"Why!"
After a moment, in the back hall, Zhao Jinrong knelt on the ground and smiled with tears in his eyes.
"Dad, mother, uncle, God is open to his eyes. Our Zhao family has a backer, and the child finally has the attitude to go and see you."
Tiemo stood aside, and was very happy, but when he heard this, his face changed suddenly. I recognized my father and sold my son, so I wanted you to go back with me to improve the firearm. Why did your first thought be to go underground to meet the ancestors and ancestors?
"Oh, Dad, what are you saying? You are always stronger and alive."
"Damn it, hurry up and kneel down!"
Tiemo knelt obediently next to him and kowtowed a few times to the Zhao family's sects.
Zhao Jinrong was very relieved. At this moment, he liked Tiemo the more he looked at him, and it seemed that there were advantages everywhere. He was rash in doing things, which was called straightforwardness, stubbornness, perseverance, stupidity, honesty.
"Good son, let's go back to Zhangbei today. By the way, how many concubines have you married?"
Tie Mo was stunned, "How many concubines? A child hasn't married yet!"
"What? You are so old that you don't have a single wife? You don't even have a wife, where does your son come from? Where is Mr. Ni Kuang?"
"Hey, dad, I said why do you always have such a temper? Why do you get angry if you say you are angry? I don't have a wife now, so I can marry you in the future. If you marry a few more houses, are you afraid that you won't be able to hold your grandson?"
"Hmph, this matter cannot be delayed. After I go back, I will find someone to arrange it for you."
"No hurry to do this!" Tie Mo's face was a little stiff.
"You're not in a hurry, I'm in a hurry!" Zhao Jinrong looked unhappy.
Nunu finally found the opportunity and pulled Zhao Jinrong's sleeve hard, "With Nunu here, what are you doing? You are not allowed to do this!"
"What? Nunu, I know you are here!"
Zhao Jinrong touched Nunu's forehead, then put on a smile, and said kindly: "Do you want to eat candy again? Grandpa will make it for you later!"
"Nunu doesn't want to call you grandpa!"
Zhao Jinrong's hand reached in the air and his lips moved, "..."
.........
After staying at Yanmen Pass for another day, Tiemo ordered Zhou Dingshan and Hao Sanpao to take people to protect Zhao Jinrong and Nunu back to Zhangbei. Fearing that there would be danger along the way, he specially sent Mengmeng to Nunu.
As for Tiemo, he cannot go back for the time being. Although the bandits near Yanmen Pass collapsed, it also increased the pressure on Taiyuan Prefecture.
Although Wang Ziyong's troops were disintegrated, their strength was not seriously damaged. After crossing Juzhu Mountain, they joined forces with Wang Jiayin and Gao Yingxiang's troops.
At first, Wang Jiayin just pretended to attack Taiyuan Prefecture, but now Yanmen Pass is blocked, and all the troops gather together, so he made a temporary decision to attack Taiyuan Prefecture.
Nearly 60,000 bandits gathered in the west and north of Taiyuan Prefecture. Officials from Taiyuan Prefecture were so scared that they sent letters of help to various places.
Under such circumstances, Man Gui and Hou Shilu naturally could not withdraw their troops, so they could only rest for two days and lead their troops to support Taiyuan Prefecture. Since Tiemo's troops experienced risks in the battle in Taiheling before, this time they had a relatively relaxed task.
Hou Shilu was very polite to his subordinates and asked Tiemo to lead his troops to carry supplies.
This made Tiemo so happy. Doesn’t this mean that as long as you move a little, you can be greedy for some supplies?
