Chapter 3 Planning
(By the way, I plan to write the history of the late Ming Dynasty into three books. The first part tells the royal family, the second part tells the literati and the third part tells the ordinary people. Through the trilogy, I will show everyone the late Ming Dynasty in the eyes of people of different classes. These words should be put in the foreword, but I am too lazy to change them, so I will put them directly in the main text!)
After hearing his mother say it, Ma Cheng was like a bolt from the blue. The only thing he relied on to travel to this era was to be familiar with history. Now that history has changed, he will never end? He is still playing with a dynasty and a tyrant fight for hegemony? He is also playing with a tyrant's cause? Without history, no one can play with it. It is almost the same to be played with by others!
Thinking of this, Ma Cheng, despite the serious injury on his head, took his mother Gu's hand and said, "Mom, go and send a letter to your father. Never support King Lu and King Gui, you must support King Fu!"
Ma Cheng thought very simply, and wanted to move history back to the familiar track, but he forgot his current identity. To put it nicely, he was a slight person, but he was just a shitty second generation of castration. Can those big men in the court listen to his words?
Although Gu did not study and did not know the situation in the court, he also knew that what his son said was impossible. Gu cursed: "Your child is really hurting his head. If you don't say that you are slight, can your father listen to you? It's your father who believes you. But can those adults in the court listen to your father?"
Although Gu is a woman, his father and brother are all official figures after all. He knows that although he is a second-rank assistant minister of the Ministry of War and the Governor of Fengyang, this identity is nothing in the eyes of those big men in Nanjing.
Gu looked at Ma Cheng anxiously and sighed, "Son, if you want the ministers in the court to listen to you, you must study hard and learn from your elder brother to pass the imperial examination early. Is this the right way to know?"
After saying that, Gu saw that his son was not in danger, he stood up and said to Gu San beside him: "Gu San, you have to follow the second young master at all times, do you know?"
Gu San quickly bowed and said, "Please rest assured, aunt, Gu San will definitely protect the second master this time!" Gu San was a dowry slave brought by Gu from his parents' home. This anxiousness revealed Gu's title in his parents' home.
After saying that, Gu looked at his son and said, "Son, if you are injured, don't leave the house. You just happened to take this opportunity to review your books at home. Your father will probably come back in a few days. This time I will ask you about your book again, but I won't help you!"
After Gu said that, he got up and took his daughter-in-law Zhang with his daughter-in-law. His daughter Ma went out. Ma Cheng quickly stood up and bowed and said, "Son, I respectfully send my mother!"
When Gu left the room, Ma Cheng lay on the bed and pretended to be dead. Of course, this time it was not because of a headache and coma, but because Ma Cheng was very optimistic about his future.
In history, Ma Shiying controlled the affairs of the Southern Ming Dynasty by supporting King Fu. Although the court was in chaos, the absolute power was still in the hands of Ma Shiying. Ma Cheng also planned to borrow Ma Shiying's prestige and at the same time, he used the future knowledge he had mastered to compile tens of thousands of powerful troops in a year. At that time, he would definitely be able to fight the Qing Dynasty and find teeth.
But now, Ma Shiying actually believed in Shi Kefa and wanted to support King Gui, King Lu, and King Gui Ma Cheng, who had heard of the Yongli Emperor who replaced the dead Zhu Yousong was King Gui Zhu Youlang, but he had never heard of the onion that King Lu. Now Ma Shiying actually wanted to support these two, and the government policy he still had, so naturally Ma Cheng's great goal also became the moon in the water.
Ma Cheng lay down for a long time and sat up and said, "Gu San, bring me paper and pen for the second master!"
When Gu Sanyi heard that this person was studying, the sun rose from the west, but Gu San did not dare to delay, so he quickly went to the study outside to bring the pen, ink, paper and ink, and brought in a few books.
The paper is good, it is Xuanzhou's Xuanzhou's Xuan paper, the pen is also good, it is the wolf hair of Huzhou, and the ink is even more extraordinary. It is Xuanyuan spiritual ink made by Cheng Junfang. This ink is as bright as jade ink, and it is obviously not an ordinary product. However, these things have become big products in Ma Cheng's hands.
Ma Cheng's palm was like a chicken's claw. He grabbed Huzhou wolf hair and covered the ink in the Duan inkstone. Then he opened the rice paper and was about to splash the hair to write. This was the first time Gu San on the side saw the second young master writing with a pen, so he quickly held his breath and prepared to watch the second young master's ink treasure. He knew that the brush had not fallen yet, and a large drop of ink in the pen fell, contaminating a good piece of rice paper.
Ma Cheng was so angry that he cursed: "Damn it, what a broken pen! Gu San, go outside to find a few goose feathers for me!"
Gu San originally wanted to appreciate the Second Young Master's Mobao, but knew that it had become like this, so he had no choice but to go out to find the big goose to pluck his hair.
Gu San's work efficiency is still very fast. He walked in with a handful of goose feathers in a short while.
"Second Master, this is the goose feather you want!" Gu San really didn't know what Ma Cheng wanted for goose feathers, so he picked a lot of goose feathers, ones on his wings, ones on his butt, and a lot of fluffs were pulled out.
Ma Cheng picked a long feather on his wing and looked at it just right. He cut the hair tube into a wedge shape with a knife, and then cut a one-centimeter-long gap in the middle, making a simple quill.
Ma Cheng took a piece of rice paper and tried the quill. It was not bad, but the rice paper was a bit shady, but it was perfectly solved by enlarging the font.
Ma Cheng made a quill pen very simple, just to have a plan for the future. After all, I can only rely on myself if I am not reliable now.
Ma Cheng held a quill pen and thought about it. What is the most important thing about time travel among the novels I read in later generations? The first is steel. Ma Cheng wrote a big word on rice paper and then wrote about steelmaking. After Ma Cheng finished writing, he was worried. He didn't know how to make steelmaking. Ma Cheng studied computer science at university. This kind of thing was useless in the Ming Dynasty. It would be better to study veterinary medicine at Agricultural University.
It seems that steelmaking is not good, Ma Cheng wrote a word under the steelmaking process and wrote gunpowder at the back. After Ma Cheng finished writing it, he still felt that he had no idea how to start. Thanks to the ubiquitous Internet in later generations, Ma Cheng knew that the best ratio of black* gunpowder was fifteen parts saltpeter, three parts charcoal and two parts sulfur. He also knew that in order to increase the power of gunpowder, it would also have to be pelletized and polished, but I don’t know how to do it.
Ma Cheng thought about the fact that steelmaking and gunpowder were still too far away. Didn’t Taizu later say that it was the people who decided to win the war. It seems that cultivating qualified subordinates is the key.
Ma Cheng thought of this and looked at Gu San beside him. This Gu San is of medium size and tall, and I don’t know if he has ever been a soldier.
"Gu San, have you ever been a soldier?"
Gu San heard Ma Cheng's question and laughed: "Second Master, have you forgotten? Gu San is a servant of the commander, and the youngest is also the identity of a hundred hereditary households!"
Ma Cheng was stunned when he heard Gu San say this, but he didn't expect that Gu San was still an official!
"Oh? Tell me about your origin!"
Gu San knew that the second young master in front of him had been hit in the head. Didn’t the doctor just now say that he had symptoms of soul-leaving, so Gu San didn’t think about anything else and explained the relationship between the Gu family and the Ma family in detail.
