Chapter 487 Beautiful Patterns

Zheng Qia reported to Wuchang, and Zhang Ning was overjoyed.Yang Shiqi secretly felt a little bit, thinking that he was planning state affairs in the court, but he seemed to be a chess game in Yunnan.

However, when you look back, there is no better way. Only the Mu family is the most suitable to guard Yunnan. The prestige accumulated over the years can shock those areas that have not been educated. For the sake of national strategy, you can only make compromises and concessions in internal struggles and indulge this problematic person.

The Ming Dynasty has always been a achievement that was longed for by the Ming Dynasty, but it is easy to conquer the territory, but it is difficult to defend and digest it.

The imperial court even had a glimpse of Jiaozhi, and would not degenerate the already effective places such as Yunnan and Liaodong.

In the past, taking advantage of the coup in Jiaozhi to fight for the throne, the court used its troops to openly fight against illegal and unjustly and instigate the throne. In fact, it had achieved a decisive victory in the battle. Unfortunately, the later ruling policy was too urgent and reckless, causing resistance everywhere, which caused an uncontrollable situation today.

Yang Shiqi is writing such non-public articles, which are some words posted from the thoughts about Yunnan...

He is very idle now.

He even began to discuss the issue of the Central Plains dynasty's expansion of territory from the Tang Dynasty, believing that the Tang Dynasty's restraining policy should allow future generations to summarize the lessons. Such policies expanded their territory for a while, but could not be defended.

Only by taking population and royal education as follow-up policies can we continue to expand the territory left by our ancestors.

Yang Shiqi even sent his articles on the Tang Dynasty to Jiangxi to exchange ideas with his favorite disciple Yu Qian.

Yu Qian has been very busy recently, but as a scholar-official, Yang Shiqi taught in his letter that he should not be completely plagued by earthly affairs, but should never stop exploring knowledge.

Yu Qian made an addition to Yang Shiqi's article, which was actually expounding some of his own views.

Yu Qian believed that the art of restraint cannot be completely abandoned, and the process of opening up the territory and finally occupying was too slow; and expansion through other methods also had a good side, so the reputation of the Tang Dynasty was able to spread all over the world very quickly.

Another approach was that the Ming Dynasty spent its efforts on voyage to the West, but did not achieve better results in promoting majesty.

Yang Shiqi will not be upset with this kind of opposition to himself. He believes that good students should not only inherit the teacher's knowledge, but also have their own thinking.

Yang Shiqi spent time by doing this. He was in the position of chief minister, but the power here was not good, but he knew that everything should be kept calm.

Wait until Xiangwang Group gradually takes over?

After taking over the territory of the King of Yàn, as long as there is no large-scale purge and massacre, the original ruling system must be reorganized. Yang Shiqi believes that his ability will be reflected at that time.

……

Zhang Ning heard that Yunnan’s copper quality is very good and it is a good raw material for making artillery.

Solving the raw material problem really made him happy for a while.

But there is also a vague worry behind the joy. When he is in his position, he has to think about it. Many times he feels that he has become suspicious.

Everything is ready, Zhu Heng presided over the Ministry of War to start the deployment of the strategy of building a navy. This major event cannot be organized by the authority of the Governor of Jiangxi Yu Qian.

Because it not only includes shipbuilding and artillery building, but also requires weapons to send people directly to Jiangxi; it also includes a series of matters such as recruitment arrangements, training, and testing of soldiers.

Zhu Heng is demarcating the tasks of each branch, and it will take some time to put various matters on the agenda.

Zhang Ning was considering another thing. He wanted to establish a military school in Wuchang and personally take over the training of the newly selected military generals of the navy, so that the navy generals would have their own disciples as soon as they took office, and further exert influence beyond fame in the army.

This idea is a thought arising from inexplicable psychological pressure. Within the entire group of forces, all the officials are very experienced, making him wary of being deceived and teased; but the officials who are not experienced are afraid that they do not have enough ability and prestige.

However, in addition to such a low mood, Zhang Ning often feels very open and comfortable.

He plans to redesign the navy uniforms and do it exactly according to his preferences...

Power makes him feel like a king, and he can do whatever he wants to change, create, and destroy everything he wants.

At this time, he thought he could dominate everything and conquer everything, and the ambition in his heart was ignited.

Suddenly, there was a water stain on the paper. He turned to see a strange maid standing next to him.

There was no need for him to get angry, and the maid was so scared that she knelt on the ground begging for mercy.

When Zhao Erniang heard the sound, she hurriedly said: Mrs. Xu (Wenjun) was not in good condition today. I was afraid that there was not enough staff, so I called someone to help, but unexpectedly I was clumsy.

Raise your head up.Zhang Ning said.

The maid looked up at him tremblingly, with a passerby's face shrank her shoulders as if she was afraid of being beaten.

If you do something wrong, I can punish you or even kill you!Zhang Ning said in a fierce tone.Remind of an act that I felt somewhere.

She hurriedly cried: Please be kind to the prince, I will never dare to do it again.

Zhang Ning regained his calmness and said: I can forgive you in one word.Go down.With a wave of his hand, he seemed to be still savoring a subtle feeling.

Seeing this, Zhao Erniang watched Zhang Ning's performance silently with curious eyes. After only a short time in the cabinet study, she gradually learned more about Zhang Ning and found that he was often very strange and difficult to understand.

He glanced at Zhao Erniang and continued to look at the badge patterns drawn on the paper.

The clothes of navy officers and soldiers should not be distinguished by color.

He had imagined the white uniforms of the modern navy, but he quickly denied this idea because the navy warships at this time were powered by humans and animals or wind power, with limited displacement and limited space. A bunch of people squeezed together and had poor conditions, and had to do a lot of physical work. It was so painful to wear that kind of clothes, preferably it was dirty and wear-resistant.

Moreover, the Yongding Camp of the Vermilion Bird Army also has two colors of clothes, and the guard of honor often wears blue coats.

So he planned to use badge patterns to distinguish the soldiers of each battalion, and the patterns could be embroidered on the collar.

But the epaulette is useless. Sometimes when war, soldiers will wear armor, and making a hard thing on their shoulders will cause inconvenience.

Zhao Erniang took advantage of the tea change and looked curiously at what Zhang Ning was drawing after sitting here for a long time. She saw a boat drawing with very simple lines on the paper with a flag on it.

She almost didn't laugh out loud. It turned out that he had been idle for so long, but he had just drew such a thing?

Zhang Ning noticed something and raised his head and said seriously: Is this picture not good-looking?

Zhao Erniang gritted her teeth and nodded: Very beautiful.

After hearing this, Zhang Ning decided to give this picture to Zhu Heng and ordered him to prepare the navy's armor to embroider the collars of all the officers and soldiers who were given the clothes, and the senior generals used yellow lines and the soldiers used red lines.
