Chapter 506: A Covenant with Someone in History Chapter 3

Chapter 506: The Agreement with Someone Shi

"...That's it for today's class, get out of class is over."

Zhao Lide put down the chalk, smiled and made a dismissal gesture to the students of the "Ming Dynasty Official Training Course" below. But suddenly he added as if he remembered something:

"By the way, I have something to do and I need to leave for a while. During this period, the course will be replaced by other teachers, and I may not be able to catch up with the exam again - I wish you all a successful pass in advance."

The students below did not react much to this sentence. After nearly a month of study and contact, they also understood the status of Mr. Zhao in Qiongzhou Prefecture. It can be said that he is a combination of the prefect and the general-military and political power.

He was caught, and he was also in charge of the Jinyiwei spies and secret reports. It was normal for him to disappear for a few days from time to time.

But they didn't know that Zhao Lide would be out for a longer time this time - Qiong Haijun always brought a chief of staff with him when going into battle. Now that Pang Yu and Ao Sayan are still in Shandong, of course the only chief of staff for the Luzon battle is Jean Ah.

De took action. In the morning, a telegram was sent to Qiongzhou Prefecture. After receiving the order, Zhao Lide remained calm and completed the scheduled courses before returning to the office calmly.

There were already staff here who helped him pack the things he wanted to bring, and he went back to the dormitory to get a few changes of clothes, towels, toothbrushes, etc... It was very easy for a grown man to go on a business trip. When Zhao Lide was a policeman, he would go there with just a phone call.

I often go out to other places. I always have a business trip bag with me.

However, when Zhao Lide walked out of the office door and planned to take a carriage to the Baisha Port Pier, he saw Shi Kefa standing at the door waiting for him, followed by his staff master and book boy, and they were both carrying a package. Zhao Lide frowned slightly

Get up, go forward and say:

"What, is there something wrong with Mr. Xianzhi?"

"Mr. Zhao..."

Shi Kefa bowed his hand to him first - scholars these days attach great importance to the status of master and apprentice. It is obviously impossible for a group of Ming Dynasty's elite scholars to worship Short Hair as their master, so when the training class started, Zhao Lide followed those

Officials have said that we are equals and the class is nothing more than exchanging experiences with each other. In the future, we will all be regarded as colleagues, so as to eliminate their resistance to receiving short-haired teachings.

But after all, they had learned a lot from Short Hair. Shi Kefa and the others would always say hello to each other when they met. Everyone was also more careful about their titles. Since they refused to admit their master-disciple status, they kept it vague.

It's cheaper to use the short-haired "sir" to match each other.

"I just heard from Jie Shanyan below that there is a police force in Luzon? The Western barbarians have made a comeback and are besieging the city there with elite troops and huge ships. But is this true?"

Ade raised his eyebrows. He did not hide the telegram from Lingao from Wang Pu, because after he left, local government affairs would basically be entrusted to Wang Pu and other local officials, so he informed the news as soon as possible.

Wang Pu, Zhang Ling, Yan Wenchang and others. However, they did not expect that Wang Pu was such a big talker and actually informed Shi Kefa immediately.

"There is such a thing, so we have to deal with it for a while... Don't worry, Mr. Xianzhi, we will only expand the territory in our hands, and there will be no lost territory. The Spaniards' ideas are just wishful thinking. I'll take care of you when the time comes.

Just be an official if you have a place."

Zhao Lide deliberately used a joke, but Shi Kefa said seriously:

"This is exactly why I'm here - I was ordered by the imperial court and entrusted by the emperor to be the co-president of the newly established Luzon Prefecture. I can waste time here in ordinary times, but since there is a police officer there, I should go there immediately.

, we share this difficulty with the soldiers and civilians there."

Zhao Lide looked at him and said nothing. He had already noticed it when he saw Shi Kefa and others coming with their bags. Now that he heard these words, Ade crossed his arms and touched his chin to think about it...

The reason why Shi Kefa is famous in history is because of his perseverance and unyielding spirit after he failed to garrison Yangzhou and fell into the hands of the Qing army. He sacrificed his life for the country. His spirit is touching. However, according to Gucheng's "History of the Southern Ming Dynasty", this man

My brother's military and political abilities are really lamentable - after Emperor Chongzhen was hanged, the Ming Dynasty re-established the Nanming regime in Nanjing. Shi Kefa first competed with Ma Shiying for the position of chief assistant of the Nanming government, but ended in failure; then he went abroad to serve as Jiangbei

As the governor of the four towns, none of the military leaders were willing to listen to him; in the end, he tried his best to defend Yangzhou, but Duduo captured the city within a few days... It is tragic to die for the country, but in terms of its role in Nanming

, I am really sorry for the huge fame and status he enjoyed at that time.

The reason for this situation has been analyzed internally by the staff group and the cultural and historical group. For every historical celebrity that may be dealt with in this era, the staff group and the cultural and historical group must analyze the historical data to make a decision.

Attitudes and strategies towards this person.

Regarding Shi Kefa, their judgment was that he had good moral character and was not without talent, but he had done too much as a Taiping official and lacked experience in dealing with difficult situations. Although Shi Kefa was from the north, he had fought with Lu Xiangsheng and the peasant uprising army in the early stage.

Apart from a few battles, his subsequent promotions were mainly in the peaceful land of the south. He was transferred from the Governor of Water Transport to the Minister of the Ministry of War in Nanjing. He was incomparable with those governors from the north, such as Hong Chengchou, Sun Chuanting and others.

——Should we take this opportunity to take him to gain some military experience? Zhao Lide was hesitant. For this tragic figure who has left a profound mark on history, they still have some respect for this tragic figure. And these people still have a lot of respect.

People who can leave their names in the history of youth do have their own abilities. Zhao Lide has dealt with them a lot during this period, and it is obvious from his interactions that these people who can be admitted to the Jurenjinshi School are definitely people with high IQs, if not

Because of the huge gap in vision, concepts, and nearly four hundred years of difference in scientific and technological knowledge, a young police officer in the detention center in Ade did not have the courage to teach these people.

After thinking for a while, Zhao Lide said slowly:

"Mr. Xianzhi, the one-month period is almost over, and the assessment day will be here in a few days..."

Shi Kefa thought that Ade was saying that he wanted to avoid the exam, and a look of pride suddenly appeared on his face:

"Although I am not talented, I have devoted myself to studying your teachings this month, but I have gained quite a lot of experience. Although I dare not say how proficient I am, I think there will be no problem in passing your assessment. If Mr. Zhao doesn't believe it, I can ask someone to read the questions later.

Take it to Luzon. If I fail to pass, I will never dare to stay in Tianyan. I will hang my hat and return to the Ming Dynasty."

Zhao Lide smiled. After a period of adaptation, these guys have almost entered the state. For the heavy reward money, many people used the same energy as when they took the imperial examination to fight bravely. Their ability to travel through various religions is nothing.

The Book of Heaven is all very conventional knowledge. With the IQs of these people, it is not difficult to accept it. It is estimated that everyone will pass it by then.

Therefore, Zhao Lide mentioned the assessment not to humiliate Shi Kefa, but to remind him of another thing:

"Mr. Xianzhi misunderstood. I believe that with Mr. Xianzhi's great talent, it will not be a problem to pass our assessment. Moreover, I dare not say that I will be ranked first. It is estimated that it is a sure thing to be among the top six. So as long as you can be patient

If you wait a few more days, you can easily pocket a thousand silver dollars, but if you leave now, you will..."

Out of some bad taste, Zhao Lide seduced Shi Kefa for a while, wanting to see if this man was as upright and upright as he was in history. As expected, Shi Kefa immediately showed an attitude consistent with his later reputation:

"Mr. Zhao is joking. Is Mr. Shi one of those people who is blind to money?"

Ade nodded:

"In that case... Then, Mr. Xianzhi, I can take you to Luzon, but there are some things that I must make an agreement with you."

Shi Kefa nodded immediately:

"Please say"

"First, our Qiong Navy side doesn't say that civil servants control military forces, but on the battlefield ahead, soldiers are the absolute masters. Once there, everything must be based on the opinions of military commanders. Do you think you can accept it?

"

——These days, officials in the Ming Empire are very particular about being "gentlemen, nobles, and military officials." Judge Shi Ke is a sixth-rank fellow. In the bureaucracy of the Ming Empire, even meeting a third-rank general soldier is considered disrespectful. Zhao Lide doesn't want him.

Even when you go there, you put on a bad show.

However, Shi Kefa was also greatly shocked after arriving in Hainan. Naturally, he knew that this Qiong Navy was definitely not comparable to the Ming Dynasty's native soldiers and horses, but he was not so proud. He just nodded when he heard this:

"Can."

"Then the second thing: the army puts discipline first. Although you are not a member of the military, you must abide by this rule since you are on the battlefield. On the battlefield ahead, whenever the commander gives an order, there are no conditions.

You must comply unconditionally. Is it possible for you to do this?"

Shi Kefa smiled slightly:

"It is as it should be if it is forbidden to do so."

"Okay, then there's one last thing..."

Zhao Lide looked at this

"The way we fight in the Qiong Navy is different from that of the Ming Dynasty. Here, if you are not familiar with it or are not used to it, you can tell us and ask questions. But when you get there, you can only watch and are not allowed to make any comments. Can you follow this?

"

Ade raised this point as a precautionary measure - these Ming literati all regard themselves as Wang Yangming, and they always feel that they are both civilized and military. If they want to be wise and martial on the battlefield ahead, they will make some random comments, even if they are Qiong

The navy will not be affected by him, but the local residents may not be, and it will inevitably disturb people's hearts.

However, Shi Kefa never thought of commanding the short-haired army. Hearing this, he smiled and said:

"It's natural. How can a scholar in history try to outdo others?"

Seeing that he was willing to accept all three conditions, Ade didn't care too much about himself and nodded:

"Then come with me."

Zhao Lide took several of them to board the carriage heading to Baisha Port, where the Qionghai was coming to pick him up. When the carriage was halfway through, Ade suddenly said to Shi Kefa in a daze:

"Remember everything you will learn there, Mr. Xianzhi, and maybe you will put it to use in Yangzhou one day."

"Um?"
Chapter completed!
