Chapter 704 The Empress is Afraid of Children? Is It Wrong?

Chapter 704: The Queen is afraid of the child? Is there anything wrong?

Zhang Zhun said loudly: "The long-term war in Shandong has created a large number of orphans. The Grand Governor's Office once conducted statistics. Shandong is only in the east of the three prefectures, with at least tens of thousands of orphans. If no one provides food, these orphans will easily starve to death or even be eaten alive by some people. We gather these children together and settle in different literacy institutes to provide them with free food, accommodation and learning opportunities."

"I heard that the orphans in Dengzhou City wanted to see the Queen's style when they came. You know that the children in the countryside have never seen the world. The emperors and the Queen are all very distant in their thoughts."

Zhang Yan said in a little surprised: "Why not call it an orphanage?"

Zhang Zhun said casually: "I hate this name."

Zhang Yan frowned and said, "What is the reason?"

Zhang Zhun said seriously: "I don't want those children to be labeled as orphans since childhood, which is harmful to their personality growth. I think that as long as they have partners and teachers, they will not continue to be lonely."

Zhang Yan once became pregnant, but she didn't know whether it was a man or a woman, but was tampered with Ke Shi and got rid of the child. Later, she never got pregnant. As a result, she, the queen, didn't even have a child. Because of this reason, her relationship with the child was very complicated. She obviously hesitated for a moment before slowly saying: "I will definitely go tomorrow."

Zhang Zhun nodded and said casually: "The Empress is intent."

The next day, Zhang Zhun joined Zhang Yan and others and went to the Literacy Institute in Dengzhou City.

This literacy institute was actually opened by Zhou Yiming and others. The children in it are all orphans. On the one hand, they read and recognize words here, and on the other hand, there are people who hurt the Tui Shi teach them how to punch and kick skills. While exercising, there are also a large number of battle stories to tell them. For these poor children, the Hu Benjun is their parents.

The current full name of the Hu Ben Army is "The Hu Ben Army Disabled and Veterans Continued Contribution Department". There are a large number of disabled soldiers or veterans who are making use of their remaining energy. The disabled Ming army or retired Ming army usually leave the military field and becomes a real civilian household or military household. The retired or disabled people of the Hu Ben Army are different. They still stay in the power of the Hu Ben Army and continue to work for the Hu Ben Army.

Don’t look at them all as wounded, but the impact they have played is quite large. They are almost responsible for all ideological education, combat skills training, combat mobilization and other tasks. The selection and training of new recruits are them, and the basic quality training of children is them, and the registration and organization of middle-aged men are also them. Because they are all real soldiers of the Tiger Army and have a high status in the minds of ordinary people. Their words are very authoritative.

According to Zhang Zhun's meaning, there should be at least one person in every village and village under the control of the Huben Army who was injured by the Huben Army, responsible for the ideological education and training of local children and young people of appropriate age. The person in the Huben Army who was injured by the Huben Army should master several aspects of information. First, how many middle-aged men are there in this village. Second, how many children are there in this village and how many ages are there. Third, who in this village may be a detailed work by the Tartars.

Because the conditions of the Hu Ben Army are limited, compulsory education is not yet popularized yet. Therefore, the education of children is mainly based on storytelling and basic quality training. Everyone lacks culture, and it is a bit difficult to read and recognize words. Therefore, storytelling has become the best way of ideological education. The stories of the Shuai Tui Department are of course mainly based on combat stories. These members of the Shuai Tui Department have all gone to the battlefield in person. The stories they tell are of course vivid and in person, which fascinates the children.

Basic quality training includes daily running, horse stance, barbell lifting and other simple and easy-to-understand movements, as well as push-ups and pull-ups. As long as children have free time, they will follow the people who are injured and retreating to the department for training. According to Zhang Zhun's regulations, even if they are very busy, they have to have three days a month to train together. The purpose of the training is to compete for everyone's level and distinguish the level so that they can have the motivation to compete.

These children have received such influence since childhood. When they grew up, they can only describe it as "red and special". The relative closure of information and the lack of culture make them only know that the Hu Ben Army is the best, and the Hu Ben Army cares about them the most. When they grow up, they will also fight for the Hu Ben Army. Even if this kind of ideological influence is not at its peak, it is unprecedented.

When Zhang Zhun and his team arrived at the literacy institute, the children were dressed neatly and cleanly, and were staging continuously. The one responsible for training them was a thirteen-year-old child. These children were the youngest, only two or three years old, and the oldest, that is, eleven or twelve years old. If they were older, they could work, earn wages, and support themselves.

Because of insufficient staff, these older children have taken on the burden of caring for young children. A literacy home with five or six hundred people can manage it with just a few adults. They are mainly responsible for the distribution of materials, and the others are basically managed by the children themselves. Children in this era are much stronger than children in later generations.

"The Queen is here to see everyone!"

Zhang Zhun announced loudly with a smile.

"What is the Queen?" a child asked in a low voice.

"The Empress is the mother of everyone in the world." Zhang Zhun explained with a smile.

"Mother?" Some children didn't understand the word and looked at Zhang Yan in confusion...

"She is all your mother..." Zhang Zhun explained in more blunt language.

The children's eyes fell on Zhang Yan. Since they were orphans, they were no more parents. Parents were far away for many children here. Now, a woman suddenly appeared and said that she was the mother of all of them, which really made them feel very new.

Zhang Yan was obviously at a loss and wanted to say something, but she didn't know what to say. She had never had contact with children and had no experience with them at all. At that time, Emperor Chongzhen had only two very young children, both of whom were their mothers. She was a widowed woman, although she was the imperial sister-in-law, and had a unique status in the palace. However, she rarely met these two children.

The child was taken away by Zhang Yan. However, in the environment at that time, whether the child could survive smoothly even if he was born was unknown. Besides, even if the child could survive by chance and receive education smoothly, it was unknown. Too many unknowns made Zhang Yan feel inexplicably afraid of her child.

The emperors of the Ming Dynasty were not very good at education, especially the brothers Tianqi and Chongzhen. The father of their brothers, Zhu Changluo, was definitely one of the most miserable people in the Ming Dynasty. Because Emperor Wanli liked King Fu Zhu Changxun, not the miserable Zhu Changluo. Emperor Wanli wanted to change King Fu to the crown prince, but the court officials did not do it. They firmly rejected the emperor's selfishness and asked the emperor to abide by the relevant regulations on establishing the legitimate and establishing the eldest son.

As a result, Wanli and his ministers fought each other for decades, and until they almost died, Emperor Wanli finally surrendered. Zhu Changluo could only barely save his position as crown prince. As compensation, Emperor Wanli assigned half of the land in Henan to King Fu.

His position as a prince has always been in danger. Where can Zhu Changluo have time to manage his son? Of course, he has been herding sheep. Emperor Tianqi didn't know a lot of words, but he liked to be a carpenter. In fact, it was all caused by his father. Well, to be precise, it was caused by his grandfather. Fortunately, Chongzhen was a little ambitious and read a lot of books, otherwise he would be an illiterate person.

Zhang Zhun looked back at Zhang Yan, noticed that her expression was strange, and said with a smile: "Go!"

Zhang Yan was still hesitating there, not talking, but not moving.

"Are you still afraid that the children will bully you?"

Zhang Zhun said angrily and amused.

"No...I...I can't."

Zhang Yan was obviously a little nervous and actually forgot to call herself this palace.

"What's so nervous about playing with children?"

Zhang Zhun asked in surprise.

He did not expect that Zhang Yan would have such a reaction when she came to the children. It was really strange. Does this queen, who never surrendered in front of the eunuch party, dare not contact the children? If she had not seen it with her own eyes, Zhang Zhun would have thought it was a joke. The queen of Mother Yi Tian was actually afraid of children and freaks!

"I...I...I don't know."

Zhang Yan stammered.

Her face was very strange, her cheeks were red, as if it was a burning sunset.

Zhang Zhun looked over there and found that Yang Yinghan, Liu Rushi, Ning Lingwei and others had already played with a group of children. They did not bring any gifts, just played with the children, told them stories, swinged with them, and taught them to write. In fact, you don’t need to do anything at all, just squat down and listen to the children’s chattering, and you can already integrate into them.

Zhang Yan suddenly turned around and left.

Zhang Zhun looked at her back strangely, but did not catch up.

Ji Yuqing hurried over and asked with concern: "What's going on? I'll go and see?"

Zhang Zhun shook his head and said calmly: "No need."

Ji Yuqing said with concern: "What's wrong? Why did she run away?"

Zhang Zhun said casually: "I don't know, I probably don't dare to contact these children, as if I have some nightmare."

Ji Yuqing looked at Zhang Yan's disappearing back and said with a little concern: "She should be fine, right? Here, she shouldn't have anything to do. Otherwise, Huang Ni pulled her crotch, either shit or shit."

Zhang Zhun said thoughtfully: "Nothing big is going to happen. Let her be quiet for a while, maybe it's fine."

A strange smile suddenly appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he said to himself: "It's really strange. She is not afraid of life and death, but she is afraid of children! It's really strange!"

Ji Yuqing gave him a blank look and said a little complainingly: "Her child was taken away by Keshi and Wei Yan. Now that she sees so many lively children, it would be strange if she is not sad. Even I am a little depressed. You have to accompany me tonight!"

Zhang Zhun nodded and said slowly: "Well, this is indeed a hurdle. However, she must pass this hurdle, and it cannot be placed there forever! As the queen, the mother of a country, not only should she cherish her children, but also the children in the world. Look at other people, Deng Yingchao..."

Ji Yuqing asked curiously: "Who is Deng Yingchao?"

Zhang Zhun found that she had let go of her words, so she smiled, covered it up, and said with a smile: "I said it wrong. It's a person I know. She has no children, but she has adopted a large child and has trained them to become talents."

Ji Yuqing asked suspiciously: "Is there really such a good person?"

Zhang Zhun said affectionately: "Of course! The couple are the greatest people in this world!"

"Da da da da!"

Ji Yuqing was about to speak, but suddenly, the sound of horse hooves came hurriedly.

Zhang Zhun and others looked over and looked over, but they were the correspondents of the Grand Governor's Office. They should have set off from the pigeon liaison station in Dengzhou City. Soon, Lu Yidian delivered an emergency information to Zhang Zhun. After Zhang Zhun read the information, his brows quietly frowned.

Ji Yuqing said quietly: "Is something wrong?"

Zhang Zhun said with emotion: "Gao Qiqian wanted to watch the wall, but was attacked by the Tartars and suffered heavy losses. This time the court stole chickens without losing rice. He wanted to watch the fire from the other side of the river, but he ended up paying himself. Alas, Chongzhen's brain was really a problem with playing games with the Tartars."

The information was sent from Luanzhou, northern Zhili. After the teleportation of the pigeon, it finally came to Zhang Zhun's hands. The content of the information was very simple. Two days ago, the cavalry of the Tatars suddenly attacked the imperial army Gaoqian headquarters. The unexpected court army suffered heavy losses. It is reported that at least tens of thousands of people died, and even more than 20,000 people were killed. Xianghe and Baodi were once again captured by the Tatars, and all the soldiers and civilians inside were killed.

Ji Yuqing shook her head gently and said helplessly: "People from the court... Alas, tell my senior sister! As long as it is related to government affairs, she will definitely recover immediately."

Zhang Zhun nodded and walked towards Zhang Yan.

Zhang Yan heard Zhang Zhun's footsteps, quietly reached out and wiped the faint tears at the corners of her eyes, and said calmly: "I... I'm fine, I'll just stand here for a while."

Zhang Zhun said in a deep voice: "I received an emergency information."

Zhang Yan's emotions were indeed adjusted quickly. She obviously cared about the affairs of the court more than the children. She bit her pale lips gently and asked calmly: "What happened?"

Zhang Zhun said slowly: "If you have a small relationship with you, you must be mentally prepared."

Zhang Yan looked quiet and said in a low voice: "Tell me, I can bear it."

Zhang Zhun nodded and said slowly: "The slave chief Abatai led his army to attack Gao Qiqian. The Liaodong Legion suffered heavy losses and had to withdraw to the vicinity of Shanhaiguan. The two counties in Xianghe and Baodi were captured by the Tartars, and all the people inside were killed. The estimated death toll was more than 30,000. Xianghe had been broken by the Tartars before, and this time it was the second time it was ravaged. Alas, miserable!"

Zhang Yan's face suddenly turned pale.

Huang Taiji was defeated by Zhang Zhun, but he defeated Gao Qiqian again, which made her, the queen of the court, really not know what to say. She would not doubt the authenticity of Zhang Zhun's information, and there was no need for Zhang Zhun to make false. Moreover, Zhang Yan herself was deeply suspicious of Gao Qiqian's ability. Can an ignorant eunuch have the ability to command in front of the battlefield? Unfortunately, Chongzhen trusted Gao Qiqian, so Zhang Yan didn't have much to say.

After a moment of silence, Zhang Yan slowly said, "What's the news about Wu Aheng?"

Zhang Zhun shook his head and said, "Not yet."

Zhang Yan sighed slightly and said to herself: "I'm afraid the court will be in more storms again."

Wu Aheng was the newly appointed governor of Ji Liao. After so many years of stupidity, Chongzhen finally got the right appointment in personnel, that is, appointing Wu Aheng as governor of Ji Liao. This time, Gao Qiqian failed, perhaps Chongzhen would hold Gao Qiqian accountable, and then Wu Aheng led the army. If this is the case, perhaps the Liaodong Legion would improve a little.

Speaking of Wu Aheng, he still has some origin. Zhang Yan is even more familiar with Wu Aheng. Wu Aheng was a Jinshi in the Wanli period. His greatest achievement was that he had continuously defeated the attacks of the White Lotus Sect. Back then, the number of White Lotus Sect members led by Wang Yilun, Xu Hongru and others besieged Licheng, but was defeated by Wu Aheng. For this reason, Emperor Tianqi gave him armor and gave the imperial character "Zhong" as a commendation.

Later, Wu Aheng was transferred to the position of the Censor of Huguang Road. He was the first to expose Wei Zhongxian's crime to the emperor, but was chased by Wei Zhongxian. Fortunately, he saw that the opportunity was not good, and immediately hid in the countryside and avoided this disaster. It was just a coincidence that when Wu Aheng returned home to hide, the people from the Sinxiang Sect came to attack his hometown again. As a result, Wu Aheng immediately built an enemy building, built cannons, built moats, and donated money and scattered grain to drive soldiers and the people to climb the city to guard it. As a result, the Sinxiang Sect's attack was defeated again.

Because Wu Aheng showed his ability when suppressing the White Lotus Uprising, he has always served in the Ministry of War. However, the two main figures of the Ministry of War, Zhang Fengyi and Liang Tingdong, did not like Wu Aheng. Chongzhen appointed Wu Aheng as the governor of Ji Liao, which obviously had the intention of undermining Zhang and Liang. People who are interested in speculating that the third invasion of the Tatars had a lot to do with the wrong deployment of Zhang and Liang. Perhaps, after the Tartars retreated, Chongzhen would be asked to offend the two Ministers of War.

Zhang Zhun sighed silently and said coldly: "The wolf Huang Taiji is already injured. If Gao Qiqian takes the initiative to attack, he will definitely know some trouble for Huang Taiji. Unfortunately, he waited blindly and waited for Huang Taiji to recover. God can still live if he commits evil, but he can't live if he commits evil! He deserves it!"

Zhang Yan's emotions suddenly got out of control and turned around and left.

Ji Yuqing and others hurried up to ask what was going on.

"Don't care about her!"

"Let's play ourselves!"

Zhang Zhun reached out to stop Ji Yuqing and others and said coldly.
