Chapter 735 On the Wheel of History

.Through conversation with Wei, Chen learned that after Zheng Ruozeng returned home, he drank all day long and was depressed by his sorrow and depression. He didn't listen to anyone and it was useless to persuade him.
About half an hour later, there was a noise outside. Wei rushed in and opened the door. Then he saw Sanchi and others carrying a drunk man and came back. It was her husband Zheng Kaiyang, and two worried drinkers were following behind. Seeing that Wei met these strong people, he went back with confidence. Of course, he couldn't help but sigh: ▲ He actually sent a strong man to catch a man home. His fierce wife Ruosi would be better than to hit him to death...
Wei closed the door with a blushing face, Sanchi asked, "Where to put it?" "Suspiciously 11111111111" Wei said angrily = "Take it on the ground." As soon as he became familiar with the lady, he stopped pretending. Sanchi Fist man laughed and said to himself that this old Zeng had no status.
He still said, "Put it on the recliner first." He gave the strong tea to the drunk Zheng Ruozeng. Wei also hurried in and boiled a pot of sour fish soup to relieve her husband's wine.
Zheng Ruozeng was drinking, but Sanqi and the others said nothing, carried it and left. He suddenly turned dizzy, as if falling into the clouds. Then he became drunk and unconscious. After sitting down, he drank a few sips of tea, and suddenly vomited a lot of food, which splashed on Shen Shu. Both Gui Youguang and Sanqi knew that adults were obsessed with cleanliness, and they immediately called it a secretly, but Chen didn't care about it, and even brought tea to him.
After vomiting, Zheng Ruozeng opened up the conversation. Of course, everyone would rather not say anything, because he cursed people when he opened his mouth. He cursed Chen on his head, his eyes turned pale. As soon as he opened his mouth, Kunshan Village cursed: "I'm so crazy! Nong Lai Du has a break? Do you want to eat life?" Chen had been here for a few years, knowing that he was scolding himself for meddling in other people's business and asking for trouble if he had nothing to do...
Gui Youguang, who was sweating beside him, quickly explained, "Sir, he is talking crazy when he is drunk, don't be able to see him..." Chen shook his head and smiled, "I don't understand very much, what did he say?" Gui Youguang stared at Chen for a while, and now the adult was indeed confused, so he smiled with difficulty: "He is complaining that he didn't drink enough."
At this time, Zheng Ruozeng was still chattering, but the target of the attack had been moved to the court, no longer limited to a person who cursed Xu Jie's despicable villain one by one. Hu Zongxian was tied up in a cocoon, and Shen was gentle and charming, and swore never to be used as a urinary. Although he was drunk, he was talking about what he said, and Shen sighed when he heard it.
Gui Youguang also appears, but Shen actually understands it, so he sighs secretly and sits aside without talking.
Although Wei was born into a big family, she had not enjoyed a few days of happiness with the man and practiced her cooking skills. She stewed a large pot of sober soup with sober bamboo shoots and live crucian carp. Not only did she serve Zheng Ruozeng to drink it, but she also served a bowl of Shen and Gui Youguang. The taste was really good, the sour aroma was delicious, which made people feel refreshed.
After drinking the sobering soup and sitting for a while, Zheng Ruozeng gradually came to his senses and felt so boring that he felt so boring. He just kept drinking strong tea and sat there stunned. Shen Ze didn't urge him to drink tea and look at the starry sky with him, feeling a rare relaxation.
It was already the third update, and Wei was already sleepy. Gui Youguang asked her to go and rest first. Just serve her here by herself. Unexpectedly, he couldn't hold on and fell asleep against the chair. Only Zheng Ruozeng and Chen were left in the yard, one with his eyes straight and the other looking up at the starry sky.
After sitting until dawn, Zheng Ruozeng finally said, "Why do you have the time to run to this deserted village?"
"I made a special trip to see you." Chen said softly, "Since I got your Jiangnan Principle" and "Chuhaitu Label", I have always been with me. Even if I am busy with official business, I have to take time to read. I admire my talent and have long wanted to come and pay my respects. Zheng Ruozeng smiled and said, "It's all nonsense, and the adults look at the entertainment. "It's not entertainment." Chen said seriously, "I read it seriously, and I have written more than 100,000 words in the notes alone." "Oh?" Zheng Ruozeng said slightly, "I don't know which book I like when I am the master of the government?"
"If you want to say that what is useful to me now is naturally the Jiangnan Jingluo" Chen said in a deep voice: "But what I really value is "Chuhaitulu" o" "Why?" Zheng Ruozeng smiled and said: "Now that the Japanese pirates have been decided, for adults, the usefulness of this book is far less than the former."
"If I just want to solve the urgent problem, Chen Ju smiled confidently: "It's enough to rely on yourself, why bother to work hard on others?" Although this is not the case, it is very necessary to brag reasonably at this time. "Then why are you doing?" Zheng Ruozeng said calmly.
"I'm for..." Chen Ju's eyes turned to the east, as if he was about to see the sea a hundred miles away through the night, and said leisurely: "I'm not for my high-ranking official and generous salary, nor for anyone else..." He was a little embarrassed, calm down, and turned his head and said: "Have you been to Shanghai?" "Hmm." Zheng Ruozeng nodded and said: "After returning from Hangzhou, I went there to see it.
"How do you feel?" Chen asked.
"It's shocking." Zheng Ruozeng said: "So many big sea boats covering the sky and the sun are coming across the ocean, as well as those red-haired and blue-eyed barbarians, big food merchants with their heads wrapped around, and black slaves...just like returning to the Yongle period.
"It's different..." Chen shook his head. He said a little sourly. "Hundred and fifty years ago, our fleet went to explore the world. Fanbian took our ship to Daming Dam and paid tribute. Now, people come from a further place, taking a boat to do business with us. Can this be the same?"
"I didn't expect that Fanbians had progressed so quickly..." Zheng Yu÷ once sighed: "I see the Franji people's warships and their guns and cannons, which are more advanced than ours. If we put aside the advantages of the landlords and meet on the ocean, we need three to defeat one... Of course, naval battles are not simple addition and subtraction, but they are not as certain as others."
"Time!" Chen Jixian communicated with experts in naval warfare, and was as comfortable as a horse and killed a chicken. He said with a key point: "The times are developing, the world is changing. With the great exhibition of Europa's navigation technology, they can already reach every corner of the world from the sea! The ocean has changed from a roadblock that hinders people's footsteps to a passage that can send you to the other side of the ocean! The Franchise people have gained tangible benefits from this progress. They have realized that the New World has gained endless gold and silver, and have become stronger and stronger. Before the great voyage, their status in Europa made it like Annan in the Ming Dynasty, but now, they are the most extensive, richest and most powerful country in the world."
Zheng Ruozeng nodded silently. He always believed that the Ming Dynasty was the largest country in the world. But in Shanghai, a Franchise man pointed to a world map and said to him proudly: 'The place where the sun shines is our land." This deeply pricked his self-esteem of the Supreme Kingdom of the Celestial Kingdom. Now he heard that the Franchise was originally as weak as Annan, so he was naturally extremely shocked.
"How could Europa's traditional power make Fohu Ji people look beautiful before? The adventurous Dutch, the largest continental power, Gu Lanshi, and Britain, are all ready to join this feast!" Shenzu's speech has always been infectious... Of course, it is only for those who can understand: "The ocean, as a trade channel for countries around the world, will become the focus of future wars. Which country's shipbuilding has the largest number of ships and tonnage, and the most powerful artillery and navigation technology, defeats its opponents, controls East-West trade, dominates the ocean, and then dominates the world!"
"In the next five hundred years, the status of the navy will be unprecedentedly improved, and maritime power will determine the power of the country! Whoever can effectively control the ocean will become a world power; to control the ocean, there must be a strong navy and sufficient naval bases to ensure control of the world's important strategic sea routes! Chen's sonorous words made Zheng Ruozeng hear it. Although he proposed sea control, it was not the same as Chen's words. His sea control was just an active defense. What Chen said was a change in the thinking of the entire country, from a traditional conservative land country to a sea country seeking maritime hegemony. This proposition is a bit big, even a bit two...
Of course, if Chen was just a Confucian scholar who was talking about, he would applaud his wonderful ideas, but as a senior official of the court and the Southeast Administration, he had this 'fantasy', Zheng Ruozeng was worried for him. "Listen to your words, it is better to read for ten years: "My understanding of the ocean is overturned." Chen could not hear the alienation in this sentence, and the subtext was 'I will not go back with you.
He sighed lightly and calmed down his excitement, knowing that his remarks were too aggressive. Even the most sensible strategist of this era would only regard it as a non-descript imagine, rather than a rational prophecy.
Chen originally wanted to use his idea of ​​maritime power to gain ideological resonance with this maritime strategist who is more time-traveling, and then meets a soulmate in the mountains and rivers, and never separate from it again. But his ideals are full and the reality is too skinny, and he eventually scared him... This made him rush to the olive man, who will I return?", but Chen knew that the other party was still a rare strategic genius, rich in experience and knowledge, and could communicate slowly, and he would definitely become his good helper in the future. So he cheered up and said, "If you don't say that far, strengthen the sea and the strong navy should be your revenge, right?
"Well." Zheng Ruozeng said, "If you listen to me, build a powerful navy, use the island as the base, and respond to each other, you can attack the enemy on the sea!" He said, "I will be satisfied if I can do this." "Then let the twigs work together" Chen said with a sincere face: "Build the strongest navy in the world, those who offend my Ming Dynasty will be punished even if they are far away!" "No, that's just my original idea." Zheng Ruozeng shook his head repeatedly and said, "I am old and tired now, and Tan-want to enjoy the joy of the mulberry and yu at home."
The conversation went into a dead corner, and Shen felt powerless and smiled bitterly: "If you think my ideas are unrealistic, I can let you do it, and I will give you all my support." He said and sighed: "I am usually a very slander, but today I am so angry that I messed up everything. Please believe me, this is not the norm."
"This is not your problem." Zheng Ruozeng said seriously: "You have proved your ability again and again. I have no disrespect to you. On the contrary, I am promising to you." "Then..." Chen said: "Don't you want your ideal to become a reality?"
"I know you have this ability," Zheng Ruozeng said: "You can convince the Ministry of War, integrate various provinces, form a powerful navy, promote the power of the border, and shock foreign countries, but... what after you? How do you change the fate of the people who have the government to survive and the government will be destroyed?"
Chen was stunned for a moment, and just now he thought he had overestimated Zheng Ruozeng. Now he had just realized that he had actually underestimated the other party. This person had actually seen the knot of society. It was a congenital terminal illness that people were in politics, and people died and politically stopped.
But after receiving the lesson just now, Chen would not make any comments easily. He just asked in a vague way: "Why is sir so pessimistic?"
"The feeling of a dog cooking after a rabbit is dead" Zheng Ruo once shook his head and said, "One time is enough o." As he said, he said with a little nervousness: "I am a dog, Hu Zongxian is a dog, Yan Song is a dog, Xu Jie is a dog, you are also a dog, one r1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1
This guy's unrestrained words made Chen Ju's expression more solemn, but he was not unhappy, but was surprised by such a rebellious thought.
Zheng Ruo once mistakenly thought he was angry and said unceasingly: "Don't believe it. Although you are the six top scholars in the ages, the youngest senior official in the Ming Dynasty, and the best in the world's literary coach, but these are all illusions, just like attics in the sky and castles on the sand, which may collapse at any time!" He said, "The rolling Yangtze River flows eastward, how many strange people are coming? Who can escape the fate of losing the sand? Once you fall, everything I do will be completely denied by your successor. The ending is destined, why should I be in vain again?"
He remained silent. He knew that he had met a strange person this time. Every word could be spoken to his heart, which made his eyes sour and he couldn't help but cry.
Zheng Ruozeng poured out the lurking in his heart and waved his arms excitedly and said, "Sir, you must understand that this is a world where heroes cannot die well and slaves can die well. If you want to live for a long time, you cannot be Yue Fei, Wen Tianxiang, Yu Qian, and Xia Yan, you must be Qin Hui, Liu Mengyan, Xu Youzhen, and Yan Song... Because your misfortunes and blessings are all in the emperor's thoughts, you are the country. The family has made great achievements and devoted their energy to the court. They may also be ruined in the blink of an eye because your achievements are so great that the emperor is uneasy. It is better to serve the emperor and accompany you to refine a fairy pill and write a green poem, and you can enter the cabinet and become a prime minister. In this way, it seems that it is better to be a puppy and only please the emperor. Well, it is disgusting, boring, too boring!”
He looked at Chen with tears in his eyes and said, "Sir, your wish is good, and your ambitions also touched me, but I really can't see the hope of success..." As he said that, he knelt in front of him with his knees and cried, "Let me go and let yourself go. The saints are not dead, and the thieves are not allowed to succeed! We idealists cannot succeed...
Chen looked up at Qi Mingxing in the sky, with tears hanging on his cheeks, and murmured: "The saint is not dead, the thief is not stopped, the saint is not dead, the thief is not stopped... Brother Kaiyang, you are right, I will not advise you anymore, I will only ask you to follow me to a place and see something. If you still refuse to come out of the mountain after reading it, I will never beg you anymore, and I will not blame you." "Where?" Zheng Ruozeng said: "Can you untie this knot?"
"Let's talk about it then." Chen helped him up and said, "For the first time in the past few decades, I, Chen, have had such a strong feeling, and I can definitely untie this knot!" This is my destiny and my only mission... Chen said to himself secretly.
"Okay." Zheng Ruozeng did not object this time, but instead was curiously attracted by Chen and said, "Let's go now." "I'm almost hungry," Chen laughed and said, "Can't you enjoy the food first?"
"Okay." Zheng Ruozeng hurried to call his Zi family. In fact, Wei had already gotten up, but the two outside cried and knelt, so how dare they come out to disturb him. Similarly, Gui Youguang woke up long ago, but he was just pretending to be sculptures. Now he could finally move his sore neck and say to Chen: "Sir, you can really talk to him together." "Maybe in essence, we are all a little crazy." Chen smiled and said, "Don't mention today's matter to anyone." "I'm not worried about me?" Gui Youguang felt insulted and said, "I walked into a famous mouth lock. After simple breakfast, Zheng Ruozeng followed Chen on the way. Before leaving, he also told the Ji family: "Prepare my supper." His approach to Chen indicated that he just agreed to go and see, not just joining the group like this. Chen naturally wouldn't care about this little thought, and smiled and said, "Let's go..."
The bamboo pole lights the bow of the boat and rows a faint wave of water. At this moment, no one knows that this time the sail will be praised and praised by countless literati and historians in later generations. Because at present, it is just a very ordinary sail...
