Chapter 102                                                             

What makes Xin Ai dissatisfied is that many Mongolian nobles eat and eat and think about lust and desire after they are full. They don’t want to fight anymore. Some Mongolian nobles even greedy for the enjoyment of the Han people, and they don’t even want to practice even the most archery, horse riding and shooting. These people even advocated their desire to last for a long time, whether intentionally or unintentionally.

This made Xin Ai extremely angry.

Xin Ai couldn't understand it very well. The reason why the Tumote tribe had its current status was not because the Tumote tribe had something close to the Ming Dynasty, but because it had 100,000 iron cavalry in its hand. With this army in it, the Ming Dynasty would look at him differently. Even if he bowed his head and surrendered, it was different from other tribes.

Therefore, force is their only support and trump card. This world can only speak with strength. Putting down the sword and gun in your hands means being slaughtered. Perhaps it is beneficial to most Mongolians to truly lie flat, but to Mongol aristocrats such as Xin Ai is the beginning of a nightmare.

That's why we have today's trip.

Xin Ai took these peeping at Zhou Mengchenjun to confirm what kind of person his opponent was.

The generals behind Xin Ai said in unison no matter what they thought, "Please rest assured that I will not forget the grudges of my father and brother for a day."

Xin Ai nodded, he raised his telescope and looked at it for a while, and said, "Get away."

Although he spoke in a very strong tone, he also knew that it was not suitable for staying here for a long time. If he was really brought into Zhou Mengchen's army, Zhou Mengchen would not do anything to him. He simply asked Jiajing to build a royal palace in Beijing and let Xin Ai live there.

Xin Ai said in her heart: "I originally thought Zhou Mengchen would transfer from the governor of Datong, but he never left. Now Datong is prosperous one day better than one day. If I don't find a way, I'm afraid I will not be a match for Datong Town in the future, and some plans have to be implemented."

Not to mention what Xin Ai’s plan is.

But it is said that Zhou Mengchen had been patrolling the border for more than a month.

Overall, not sending a single arrow was a peaceful inspection.

After returning to Datong, Yang Jisheng had healed the damage from the Datong earthquake.

After all, the Datong earthquake harmed the people not as much as drought. Earthquakes were killed and injured at the first time, while the drought was starved to death in endless despair. The strong ability of the people in ancient times was beyond imagination.

Except for seeing some houses damaged during the earthquake, Zhou Mengchen had not had time to repair them, many things were restored.

Of course, it is urgent to rebuild the side wall. The side walls that have experienced vicissitudes have collapsed on a large scale during this earthquake. It has reached the point where it cannot be repaired.

Adhering to the principle of Zhou Mengchen reporting the losses to the great land. In his memorial to the court, Yang Jisheng even wrote the matter of repairing the walls of thousands of miles apart. So the court discussed and asked Datong to intercept one million taels. Of course, this was not a million taels, and it was necessary to be cast into silver coins first and then allocated to Datong.

In other words, the court has to pull out a layer of skin.

Of course, this is only this year. Next year, it will be discussed by Zhou Mengchen and Fang Dun.

In addition, Yang Bo, the new Minister of War, also helped Zhou Mengchen. He asked Zhou Mengchen to draw up a timetable to repair the border walls during his term of office. This seemed to be a big deal. He asked someone to repair the border walls, but he did not give any funds. But in fact, it was confirmed that Zhou Mengchen stayed in Datong.

There is nothing else. For those who want to pick peaches, having a perfect side wall and not a perfect side wall are completely different concepts.

In this way, Zhou Mengchen truly put his heart in his stomach.

I don't know if I'm worried about being transferred suddenly.

The Datong side wall is about one thousand miles away, but if you strengthen the key areas, many places are not one side wall, but several side walls. The total length is 1,500 miles or even a little longer. Complete repair is also a major project. Zhou Mengchen will repair it for at least two or three years. This time is very important to Zhou Mengchen.

Zhou Mengchen also understood that at this point, he and Datong would eventually be separated.

These two or three years are his last time.

Zhou Mengchen must seize the time.

He had many plans to do in his mind. However, when he returned to Datong, he heard a bad news.

Wu Tinghan is sick. And he is very ill.

Zhou Mengchen was furious and said to Wu Guoshang: "Why don't you tell me?"

Wu Guoshang's eyes were red. The person in his decades was a little childish at this moment and said, "It's my father who doesn't let you say that you are busy with official business. He is not a serious illness, so you don't need to disturb too many people. It's just--------------------------------------------------------

Zhou Mengchen sighed, and he knew it without Wu Guoshang's words.

This is how people get older. They are obviously colds and can develop into death-related diseases. Now Wu Tinghan's condition is obviously like this.

Zhou Mengchen immediately put down what he had and went to meet Wu Tinghan. He hoped to see him for the last time.

When Zhou Mengchen came to Datong Academy, there were countless people waiting here, most of whom were students from Datong Academy.

When Wu Tinghan was at Datong Academy, he not only focused on writing books, but also on teaching his disciples. The biggest shortcoming of Datong Academy was in Confucianism. No matter how Zhou Mengchen explained it, Zhou Mengchen's Qixue was actually not helpful to the imperial examination.

The imperial examination was a compulsory lesson for the scholars and officials of the Ming Dynasty to make progress.

As a great scholar, Wu Tinghan, in terms of his knowledge and ability, was just a basic skill for him. Therefore, he taught his disciples carefully in Datong, especially those who were interested in the imperial examination. By the way, he seamlessly connected the thoughts of qi learning into the Four Books and Five Classics. It made people feel that this is the true appearance of the Four Books and Five Classics.

It has attracted many students. Many students who used to study at Datong Academy have also joined the school.

For example, the children of the Li family in Datong, who became a Jinshi during the Zhengde period of Datong, and finally stepped down as the deputy envoy of Shandong. They were also considered to be one of the few scholarly families in Datong. They were helpless. In the Ming Dynasty, there were only seventy-nine Jinshis in Datong. It should be noted that every subject was once in the Ming Dynasty, and each subject was 300. There were at least 20,000 or 30,000 Jinshis. Many famous families in Jiangnan, father, son, grandchildren, uncle and nephew inherited the family and had more than a dozen or even more Jinshis. There were only seventy-nine Jinshis in Datong. I really don’t know what to say.

Moreover, in the later stages, the more the number of places in the imperial examinations was occupied by southerners.

Things are precious because of scarcity. Because of this, the master of the Li family’s fame and honor became more and more valuable.

When Zhou Mengchen first arrived in Datong, his methods became more fierce, which inevitably made the local gentry frightened. After all, although the hereditary military family might not be able to make the south, and they were not seen by the literati and official families at all. But this is Datong and still has status. Naturally, there is a marriage with the literati and official families.

Fortunately, Mr. Li was always a civil servant. He also studied in his family and did not mean to let his children join the army. He had nothing to do with the army, but he had little connection. He escaped under Zhou Mengchen's butcher knife.

In recent years, the Li family has become quiet and seems to have nowhere to exist.

Now after Wu Tinghan arrived, the Li family came to his house in person and finally impressed by Wu Tinghan's knowledge. To be honest, the education gap in the south is already very different. Although Wu Tinghan can be called a great scholar, he can only say that his knowledge is unique, but he may not be able to defeat a large number of people.

Otherwise, Wu Tinghan would not have been depressed and unsuccessful for so many years after being suppressed by Ouyang De and others.

However, when Wu Tinghan arrived in Datong, he was a king-level official. Mr. Li Hanchen was also a Jinshi. He served as an official for his whole life and finally became a deputy envoy of Shandong. This shows that Mr. Li has been a local official all his life. When he finally retired, he usually retired with a higher position. It is also quite nice.

Even so, he did not hold an official position like governor or governor. It can be seen that he must be from the top three. It is estimated that the ranking is not much different from that of Zhou Mengchen.

It can even be said that Li Hanchen's Jinshi may have some luck.

However, Mr. Li's status as a gentry in Datong is beyond doubt. With Mr. Li's praise for Wu Tinghan, the literati and officials have also sent their children to Datong Academy. It can be said that in Wu Tinghan's hands, Datong Academy has been equated with the Datong cultural circle.
