Chapter 278 The Painter
The younger generations such as Chengen and others have been living in war with the fight for a long time.
But they know more about the development of the current situation and the changes in information than Hunbai, and they are more likely to accept new knowledge.
For example, when Mr. Chengsheng, who received the news that Sorikam had been attacked, led his army to cross from the right bank of the Kama River with the messenger sent by Qi Jiguang's central army, and immediately gave Mr. Cheng a lesson as his youngest son.
The envoy sent by Qi Jiguang was not a military supervisor, but Yu Shaoyu, a home from the Wanli Palace, and Wu Bin, Zhang Fu, the inner court worship painters, were ordered by the emperor to go to the front line to accompany the army, and served as the chief general, and painted portraits of the army, wrote heroic aspirations and emperor telegrams.
Although no one who is a military officer doesn't think that his martial arts are famous all over the world, he is not unhappy when he hears that the emperor has this plan, but after all, he is an old man and he still pretends to be reserved.
In particular, I knew that the emperor's order was not to let the painters listen to their paintings and writes with their homes, but to eat and sleep with the soldiers in the military camp, write whatever they think of and draw whatever they see.
The most important thing is not to draw according to the customs of palace painting, which makes people feel uncomfortable.
At first, He Bai was very embarrassed and waved his hand and said, "Take it down, He is the deputy general, and the head of the company will draw some portraits for the juniors."
Later, I heard Wu Bin say that this is not possible, and he must draw it. The emperor ordered all generals to treat them equally. Regardless of their official position, age, or origin, as long as they were generals who received the title of Ming Dynasty, they would draw them.
This touched Huobai very much. Looking at the past, these things have never been his share.
Even the war report could not mention his name. Just like in his early years, as the commander of the garrison Zheng Yin, even if Zheng Yin did nothing, the war report was that Zheng Yin led the Tatar soldiers to defeat the thief army.
Not worthy of a name at all.
Now that Emperor Wanli is in charge, he even has to make a portrait?
Without saying a word, Huobai led the inner court enshrined painter Wu Bin to him to capture Sorikam's trophy library.
It was a huge wooden granary, with grain and wooden barrels accounting for more than half. The rest was filled with mountains of Rakshasa armor, leather goods and hardware. It was obvious that it was too late to settle the battle.
He took Wu Bin through the guards and went to the innermost compartment and opened several wooden boxes with bronze sculptures.
Unprocessed gold nuggets, silver ingots, processed gold rings, earrings, and granular diamonds, citrines, and emeralds almost blinded Wu Bin.
"The Lord came from afar under the emperor's order. There are no good people here. Who do you like, choose one."
Xibai looked at Wu Bin and said happily as if he was quite regretful: "I rarely asked the court to treat him as a national sage in his life, and I have no regrets anymore. Only a few kids in my family would ask the head to paint them like Han people."
Wu Bin was a painter in the inner court. The painting academy in the Ming Dynasty was different from the Song Dynasty and did not have an independent painting academy organization. However, due to the need, there was a mechanism for selecting talents, mainly in various departments, cabinets, and internal supervisors.
Therefore, a court painter in the Ming Dynasty promoted his talents, but his official positions may be the Secretariat of the Hanlin Academy and the Attendant, the Attendant of the Wuying Palace, the Head of the Works Department, the Dr. Kelu of the Imperial Heavenly Supervisor and the Lingtai Lang of the Wushiwei, the Punishment of the Jinyiwei, the Hundred Houses, the Thousand Houses, and even the Commander.
It was not until they set out specifically to follow the Ming army that Wanli established the official organization of the Calligraphy and Painting Academy in the inner court as a reward for their meritorious service.
Wu Bin was good at painting figures and followed Qi Jiguang in the northwest. When Hanino Khan of the Weilath and the Shuoshou returned to the fore, he painted the "Pictures of the Walaine" and sent it back to Beijing to make the emperor happy. He set up a calligraphy and painting academy on the spot and gave it to him as the main business.
Wu Bin dared not take the property that he had been worshipped, on the one hand, because of his character, and on the other hand, because he followed the frontier westward, even a sheep had to be controlled by Qi Jiguang. Perhaps the front-line commanders who fought the war dared to give in to others, but others dared not take it.
Qi Jiguang is actually a very good gift-giving person, but that's because what he said doesn't count.
In addition to giving gifts, he was also his specialty. Now, where he had the final say, all these worshipers from the inner court were bound by rules. They should have a lot of money. They should not get any more money. These things have been communicated with the emperor through the report, and no one can change them.
He didn't dare to take it, but Wu Bin cared about this respect very much, so he quickly waved his hand to agree to the beg: "General, don't worry, I will definitely practice for the young masters."
He even proposed to ask Xu Chengen, Xu Chengpeng, his adopted son Tu Wenxiu and others to change their armor recently. If he couldn't do it, he would send someone to the Central Army to borrow a few pairs of Beiyang Army armor.
How could this be borrowed? Qi Jiguang was busy winning the hearts of the court. He knew very well that the forces of this army were so messy that when he proposed this demand, he immediately rewarded several sets of armor.
Not only did Hebai, but also gave him a set of newly accepted generals such as Karacha, but Chechen Khan and Altan's armored cavalry from the Jin Dynasty still maintained their former military uniforms.
This was also the first time that Huobai felt that even if he had marched thousands of miles across the west, the Ming Dynasty was not far away from him.
At least the heart of Emperor Wanli is here.
More importantly, while interacting with Wu Bin and other inner court enshrinements, He Bai had a better understanding of the land when Dongfang came.
"And what is going to be chaos, peace? Not peaceful."
Wu Bin took out half a bag of Muye cigarette from his sleeve, took out one for him before he thought about it, and then he was pulled out of the warehouse by him, and then he took a comfortable mouthful and said, "It's hard. Once the railway is repaired, everyone will go north."
It was not that the painter was stingy, but that was the policy of the Eastern Minister of the United States not allowing Muye to cross the country. It forced the Ming Dynasty to sell overseas to become a treasured item. Even his bag was distorted by Xu Jue, the governor of Jinyi, at the firearm shop in Jinning.
I can't bear to smoke. It's not that there is no smoking in China if the East does not sell cigarettes in China. The Nanyang Military Office is also selling it to China. But I don't know what's going on there. Anyway, it doesn't taste better when smoking.
Tobacco is not a new thing to Jebi, but he has never smoked Makino, and he thought to himself: It's the railway again.
Without saying anything, Wu Bin continued: "First, the merchants, who had the vision, ran to the north to explore the mines when the Wulianghai Railway was built, opened mines on the spot and operated coal mines."
"With work, the people who were sad inside their mouths ran out of their mouths. The tribe chiefs outside their mouths were happy that they were gone. There were no one left. The emperor recruited people to fight in the west one after another, and some even had their tribes exposed."
"Workers outside the exit built railways and mined mines. The herdsmen who stayed on the grassland also came to work, and they were responsible for food and paid for their wages. It was more comfortable than grazing. The railway was built along the westward direction, and soon Qinglong was opened, from Wulianghai to Jining to Guihua City, from Guihua City to Yili to continue the construction."
"Some people have become horse thieves, and merchants and workers are making firearms at the outlet firearms. Anyway, they can make money by going through life and death. No matter how chaotic it is, the railway means money. The coal, iron and woods next to it can be used, and it will be built sooner or later."
He Bai thought hard in his mind, but he couldn't figure out what the railway was. He only knew that the railway ran faster than the horse army and asked, "How fast does the railway run?"
