Great Eunuch of the Ming Dynasty

For a while, the civil and military officials in Fengtianmen began to discuss in a low voice.

Chapter 528

Chapter 528

"The Xuanwu guards under the command of the governor are all elites who are worth a hundred. How can they be compared with ordinary sergeants? Please rest assured, my lords, there are Xuanwu guards and my navy officers from the Ming Dynasty. Fusang in the land of Fusang will definitely fall under the control of my Ming Dynasty." Wang Zhen said confidently: "As early as more than half a year ago, the spies of our Ming Dynasty had already lurked into the various towns in the land of Fusang Among them, as the saying goes, if you know yourself and the enemy, you will never end in a hundred battles, and Ben Du's Chamber of Commerce and Dongchang's spies have already grasped all the information on the Fusang Land, and there will be absolutely no problem in the expedition to the Fusang Land."

"If that's the case, then I don't worry, but I still have a question to ask Admiral Wang, and I hope Admiral Wang can tell you a thing or two." Censor Fan Doudou nodded, seeing that he was not on Wang Zhen's body. What is the advantage, then thought about it and asked.

Wang Zhen frowned, and asked, "I don't know what doubts this censor has? The governor will naturally solve this matter perfectly in front of the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs of the Manchu Dynasty."

Censor Fan Doudou asked: "I don't know how Admiral Wang will deal with local problems after he conquers the city of Fusang Land?"

This question is very tricky. Once the answer is not good, Wang Zhenke will give up all his previous efforts. He glanced at the censor Fan Doudou, and Wang Zhen said with a smile: "It is because the number of Xuanwu guards under the governor's command is not enough, so the governor plans to Change the surrendered army in the Fusang town into a servant army, let these servants manage the security of the place, and then send the soldiers who retired from the guards of the border towns of the Ming Dynasty because of their disabilities, and let them manage these servants. In terms of government affairs, my Ming Dynasty was full of talented people. There were many scholars who failed the rankings. Yes. After all, Fusang people also learned the way of Confucius and Mencius."

"But people in Fusang Land have small courtesy but no great righteousness. Is it appropriate to teach them like this?" Censor Fan Doudou asked immediately.

"What's wrong with this? It's because the people in the Fusang land have small courtesy but no great righteousness. Only in this way can the people in the Fusang land submit to my Ming Dynasty, otherwise the people in the Fusang land will avenge their country one by one with righteousness. , then there is no need for me in the Ming Dynasty to spend that much effort on expeditions to the land of Fusang." Wang Zhen said with a smile: "Although the land of Fusang is barren, there are still many good fields. Although Fusang is a small land, but Fusang The output of copper and silver mines in the Land of Fusang is not lower than that of the Ming Dynasty, so these things are urgently needed by the Ming Dynasty, especially the sulfur mines in the Land of Fusang, which are even more important strategic materials, and the governor also attaches great importance to them .”

"Copper mines??? Silver mines???" A servant of the household department heard this, and a gleam of light flashed in his eyes. Although the household department is very rich now, who thinks there is too much money?

"On behalf of Hubu, I agree with Admiral Wang to lead the Xuanwuwei army to expedition to Fusang." Hubu's servant saw the wink from Hubu Shangshu to him, nodded immediately, and bowed to the supreme Zhu Zhanji Said.

"On behalf of the Ministry of War, I agree with Admiral Wang to lead the Xuanwuwei army to expedition to Fusang." The Minister of the Ministry of War also came out and bowed.

For the Ministry of War, it is not necessary for the Ministry of War to send a large army, and is happy to watch the excitement. If it loses, the Ministry of War has no responsibility at all. If it wins, the Ministry of War can stand up to pick the fruit, but the Ministry of War does not have the courage to pick Wang Zhen's fruit Yes, but the Ministry of War can use this to let its own strength break into the land of Fusang and make some plans for future things.

"Has Admiral Wang heard of the Qianyuan expedition to the land of Fusang?" Censor Fan Doudou saw that Wang Zhen had already started to have some supporters, so he became anxious and searched for the only information in his mind, intending to bite This point is not let go, as long as Wang Zhen can't solve these problems, then Yushi Fan Doudou will have a way to prevent Wang Zhen from leading the Xuanwuwei army to expedition to Fusang.

The bigwigs standing inside the Fengtian Gate are all well-read poets and books. How could they not know what the censor Fan Doudou was talking about, and their expressions suddenly became a little ugly. After all, the lessons learned from the past are there. Don't worry!

"What about the pre-Yuan expedition to Fusang, the governor is just a eunuch, but he doesn't understand these things, so I ask the censor to explain something clearly." Wang Zhen pretended to be stupid and said in a daze.

Censor Fan Doudou blushed with anger at Wang Zhen's words, but he knew that Wang Zhen was a man of knowledge, and now he pretended to be stupid, obviously because he didn't want to put him as a censor With a cold snort in his eyes, he said, "Hmph, since Admiral Wang is ignorant and knowledgeable, I will talk about this matter. Back then, Kublai Khan sent envoys to Fusang five times to appease others, hoping to win without fighting. However, none of the soldiers returned without finding the essentials, which led to the first expedition to Fusang. In this expedition, although the army landed in Hakata Bay and other places, although the soldiers in Fusang were much behind in terms of institutional establishment and weaponry , but their fighting will was very tenacious when fighting, and they were completely reckless. The Yuan army's fighting will was relatively weak. During the first expedition to the land of Fusang, Shaoer Zijing, Kikuchi Takebo, Takezaki Jichang and others led a cavalry team armed with swords, long spears, and wearing heavy armor, to attack the Yuan army's position tenaciously, making Yuan The light bow of the army was useless. In the melee, Liu Fuheng, the deputy marshal of the Yuan army, fell from his horse with a stray arrow, causing the morale of the Yuan army to decline. However, due to the attack of the evil wind, most of the warships were destroyed, and finally returned without success. This is the first expedition of the previous dynasty to the land of Fusang."

"So what about the second expedition to Fusang?" Wang Zhen asked with a smile.

"The first expedition to Fusang did not discourage Kublai Khan, so he continued to send envoys to the Chrysanthemum Kingdom in Fusang to appease him. This time, the shogunate who ruled the Chrysanthemum Kingdom finally had a clear answer-in the future, all beheaded. When the news reached Dadu, Kublai Khan was finally angered, and an organization dedicated to dealing with Fusang, that is, Zhengdong Province, was established. Two large expeditionary forces sailed to Fusang. One set out from Hepu , led by Xin Du, the main general of Fusang for the first time, with a total of 4 people and 10 warships; Thousand and five hundred ships. But at the beginning of August, the evil wind showed its power again and completely destroyed the warships of the Yuan army. Less than one-fifth of the 14 troops survived. Dare I ask Admiral Wang to solve the evil wind that protects the land of Fusang? ?” Yushi Fan Doudou asked.

Chapter 529

"Does the censor know why the evil wind capsized Qianyuan's warship? If you don't know, I will tell you in detail!" Wang Zhen said confidently.

Censor Fan Doudou frowned, thinking of such a tricky problem, is there a way to solve it?Immediately asked sincerely: "The old man doesn't understand very well, so I ask Admiral Wang to give some pointers."

Wang Zhen was very satisfied with the appearance of Yushi Fan Doudou on the way, nodded, and said: "First, Qianyuan started from a small tribe and created such a large country and territory by barbaric killings. Although the territory is large, But it is not good for the common people. This is the reason why Taizu Zhizun raised his troops. If Qianyuan was kind and treated the common people well, then to tell the truth, the common people care whether you are of a different race or not, but they are not of my race. It must be different, so it is not good for the common people. It is also in accordance with the time for the common people to raise troops under the leadership of Taizu Supreme. It is precisely because the people of the former Yuan Dynasty were not in harmony, so when they went to the land of Fusang, the command was not coordinated, and internal conflicts were very large. This is the reason why the two expeditions to Fusang failed.”

"But what does this have to do with the evil wind? Admiral Wang, please don't change the topic." Yushi Fan Doudou knew that Wang Zhen had brought him into the ditch, so he said hastily.

Wang Zhen smiled, and said disapprovingly: "It is because of the tyranny of the former Yuan that the hearts of the people are not in harmony, and the destiny is not in the former Yuan, so the evil wind will blow up the warships that went to Fusang, and my Ming Dynasty is Born in accordance with the destiny, and protected by the god of protecting the country, Emperor Zhenwu, how could this mere evil wind attack my navy of the Ming Dynasty?"

"However, Qin Tianjian has recorded before that Emperor Zhenwu's national defense array can only protect the sea area of ​​our Ming Dynasty. Once the naval ships of our Ming Dynasty arrive at the sea area of ​​the Fusang Land, if there is a demon wind, it should be What should I do?" Obviously Yushi Fan Doudou is not a vegetarian, he has done a lot of research beforehand, and he even knows some information about the National Defense Formation, which shows how deep this person's scheming really is.

"Has this censor ever heard of Nine Thousand Years?" Wang Zhen asked with a smile.

The censor Fan Doudou's complexion suddenly turned ugly. The officials of the entire Ming Dynasty knew that the nine thousand years old was a false god made by Wang Zhen in order to build a shrine for himself, but this matter was never released in the Ming Dynasty. From the above, it’s just that Nine Thousand Years has been enshrined in Taoist temples in many places. The common people don’t know who Nine Thousand Years is. They just heard that Nine Thousand Years is in charge of everything, and it’s very effective. They often entrust their dreams to believers. To relieve the depression and doubts in the heart is the only fairy among the people who can manifest.

Of course, these bigwigs in the court do not believe this. After all, Wang Zhen is standing in front of them now, a real person, and he is still a young eunuch. Speaking of it, everyone is so familiar with it, so just stop making trouble.

In particular, it cannot be said that Wang Zhen is nine thousand years old in Fengtianmen. Isn't this slandering Wang Zhen for rebellion?The supreme is just long live, a good guy, a eunuch can be called nine thousand years old, so brave, not only will he not be able to overthrow Wang Zhen and make himself famous, but it will also make himself dirty.

"The old man has heard some rumors that this nine thousand years old is a god, and it is said that it has some efficacies among the common people." Yushi Fan Doudou said dryly.

"Hahaha! The governor has also heard about this nine-thousand-year-old god. Since Emperor Zhenwu, the great protector of the country, cannot protect the land outside the territory, then it is better to let the nine-thousand-year-old believers bring the nine-thousand-year-old statue to suppress my Ming Dynasty navy. In this case, wouldn’t that mere Yaofeng be easily dealt with?” Wang Zhenyi said pointedly.

The bigwigs in the court heard what Wang Zhen said, and they all nodded. This kind of practice is not uncommon. When Zheng He, the great eunuch of the Three Treasures, went to the West, there were statues of gods on those ships, and some worshiped the Dragon King. Yes, there are those who worship Mazu, and those who worship Guanyin Bodhisattva of the South China Sea. There are all kinds of things, so there is no big objection to Wang Zhen's proposal.

"Since Admiral Wang can solve the problem of the evil wind, how should the resources of Fusang Land be allocated after capturing Fusang Land?" Yu Shi Fan Doudou asked with narrowed eyes.

It would be bad if Wang Zhen swallowed this tempting big cake in one bite.The Supreme Zhu Zhanji heard this sentence, and leaned forward a little with his upper body, wanting to see how Wang Zhen would answer this question.

"The shore of the land, could it be the land of the king, the people of the land, the ministers of the king, once the governor leads the Xuanwu Guard and the Ming Navy to capture the land of Fusang, except for the spoils that have been promised to the soldiers, the rest, of course It belongs to my Ming Dynasty. It is all supreme, and it belongs to the people of my Ming Dynasty. Once the down-and-out scholars go through one, two or even three generations, the land of Fusang will completely become a part of my Ming Dynasty. , after you retire, you can buy thousands of hectares of fertile land in the land of Fusang, and live a happy and carefree life of a rich man!" Wang Zhen said with a smile.

"Since Admiral Wang has arranged everything, the old man has nothing to say. I also ask Admiral Wang to be kind to the soldiers of the Xuanwu Guards and the marines, and not to let me from the Ming Dynasty fight because of the expedition to the land of Fusang. The people throw their heads and blood, and bury their bones in a foreign country." Yu Shi Fan Doudou felt as if he had eaten a fly in his mouth, so he could only say some scene words, and then retreated to the civil service team.

"The governor regards all the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty as brothers, because they stood up and stood at the forefront when the war broke out in the Ming Dynasty, so the governor respects these soldiers the most. Don't think that they are pure soldiers. It is an honor to serve as a soldier. Although the adults may feel that they are not as noble as literati, in the eyes of the governor, they are the cutest people and the people who the governor trusts the most. The governor will let the war Keep the casualties to a minimum and save their lives, because behind them, wives, children, and parents are all looking forward to going home!" Wang Zhen said seriously with a straight face.

However, what Wang Zhen said was just in exchange for the admiration and admiration of the generals and the contemptuous look of the civil servants, but Zhu Zhanji had a different kind of brilliance in his eyes, but Wang Zhen didn't see it. , Otherwise, you will know that Zhu Zhanji, who is suspicious by nature, has started to be suspicious again.

But so what?Wang Zhen is just following the rules now, once Wang Zhen lifts the table and stops playing with you, won't everyone be dumbfounded?

Wang Zhen now has the ability to flip the table.

Chapter 5 Thirty Fan Doudou's Face Changing Technique

Chapter 5 Thirty Fan Doudou's Face Changing Technique

"Since all my lovers have no other objections, the plan for the governor of the Nine Frontiers to guard the eunuch and the admiral of the East Factory Wang Zhen to personally lead the Xuanwuwei army and the fleet of the Navy Headquarters to the land of Fusang has been finalized. The cabinet has drawn up a decree. In the future, I will stamp the great seal and start today, anyway, the Xuanwuwei army has already assembled and can be dispatched at any time." Supreme Zhu Zhanji looked at the civil and military officials below, and said with a smile.

"Supreme sage!!!" Civil and military officials bowed down and praised.

For the things that have become a foregone conclusion, these bigwigs in the DPRK and China have no other ideas. After all, in their cognition, the land of Fusang is a small place, and there is nothing worthy of attention. Only some people know that Fusang Only the ministers who knew the specific situation of the land knew how big the land of Fusang was. It was a place as big as a province of Yunnan. How could it be a tiny place?It's just that his area is very narrow and long.

"In this case, let's retreat! Wang Zhen stays!" After the Supreme Zhu Zhanji finished speaking, he got up and walked towards the back.

"Retire!!! All officials pay homage and send off the Supreme One!!!" Li Daban shouted.

The ceremonial inspectors and eunuchs below shouted successively: "Retire from court!!! All officials pay homage to the Supreme One!!!"

"Retire!!! Hundreds of officials pay homage, send off the Supreme!!!"

"Retire!!! Hundreds of officials pay homage, send off the Supreme!!!"

"Long live the Supreme! Long live! Long live!!!" Civil and military officials fell to their knees and shouted long live.After praying three times, they got up and slapped their buttocks and walked towards the Fengtian Gate. They no longer whispered to each other, and went their own way, as if they didn't know each other. In fact, this is the rule of the court. , cannot be surpassed, once the court is dispersed, if you still whisper to each other, walk shoulder to shoulder to discuss things together, you will be deemed as forming a party.

Now there is no clique formation in the court, and that is the bloody lesson from before, so the civil servants are very disciplined now, and they have not dared to do anything out of the ordinary.

But there are exceptions to everything. For example, the censor Fan Doudou, who is obsessed with profit and wants to climb up, is standing in front of Wang Zhen with a flattering face at this time, and said with a smile: "Master, just now, old man, uh ~ I have offended many officials, I hope the governor will not blame me!"

Several officials around who hadn't left Fengtianmen, saw the scene in front of them, and laughed in low voices. Although the voice was not loud, it was a little embarrassing to Wang Zhen's ears. Not to mention the censor Fan Doudou who has always cared about his face, but Fan Doudou is willing to go all out for his future future. As long as he can get promoted and raise his salary to become a high-ranking official and marry Bai Fumei, even if he gives up his old face, Fan Doudou is also willing.

"Cough cough! I don't know what the censor has to say, so just tell me directly. You don't need to be so secretive, it's just a joke, and I have to see the Supreme, so I don't have much time to talk to you. You're messing around here." Wang Zhen said with a smirk.

"What the governor said is that the lower official is Fan Doudou, the censor. It is only natural that the governor doesn't know the lower official. What the lower official means is that the governor intends to send failed candidates and down-and-out scholars to become officials in Fusang. This is the ruling party. It can be said that he is a big official of the frontier. I don’t know who the governor plans to send to these literati? After all, he needs a leader! These literati are ignorant and incapable of governing the place of the empress. Say it right? Lord Governor!" At this time, the censor Fan Doudou had revealed all his thoughts to Wang Zhen, and Wang Zhen easily understood what he meant.

"So, Lord Yushi wants to go to the land of Fusang to be a member of one party? But Lord Yushi should know that these barbarian lands can't just use the policy of Huairou, and it will even lead to death, no Do you know that Lord Yushi is afraid?" Wang Zhen's eyes lit up, and he was just worried about finding someone who could work hard for him and have the ability, didn't this person come to his door?
