Prodigal Son of the Ming Dynasty

  Chapter 376 is exhaustive strategy

   Li Yi is desperate, it is only a hundred miles away from Seoul.

  Every step you take, the danger gets closer.

  He couldn't imagine that, as the clan of North Korea, he would end up in this state.

Looking at Liu Jie who seemed to be determined, but actually retreated in his heart, Li Yi said to him again and again: "We will definitely die here, we will be tortured to death, your master is thousands of miles away Besides, he can't save us."

  Liu Jie thought for a while, and answered Li Yi like this: "The Master Guild will have a solution."

Li Yi said sadly: "Is it just based on this belief? He doesn't know anything about the situation in North Korea. What can he do? What kind of knowledge did he teach you, what did he teach you, that you have so much faith in him?" ?”

  Liu Jie thought about it again, and said: "Actually, he didn't teach me anything. My studies are all taught by my teacher."

   "..." Li Yi really wanted to find a crooked neck tree immediately, hang himself on it, then stretch out his tongue, and hang himself for Liu Jie to see.

Liu Jie thought for a while and said: "Actually, except for the time when I was envoy to North Korea, before that, I only saw him three times, twice from a distance, and once When I was apprenticeship, I had a total of four sentences with him."

   "..."

   "However, my mentor is a learned man, proficient in both civil and martial arts. In my eyes, my mentor is a person with great talent and learning. I think even my mentor respects Shigong so much, so Shigong must be very powerful."

Li Yi cried and hugged Liu Jie's thigh: "It's because of this, because you met him once when you were apprentice, because you saw him twice from a distance, because he said four words to you, We came here? We... It's too late even if we want to escape now, why didn't you say earlier, I would rather go out to sea with my people to find an island to live in, even if I drink hair and blood, I will never follow You come."

   "Your Highness, please rest assured, Shigong will not abandon us." Liu Jie comforted him.

   Li Yi was still crying, almost fainting.

   "The envoy, the envoy..."

  In the distance, flying riders came, and someone shouted.

  The Ming officers and soldiers who came with them were ready to draw their swords.

   After that, the Pegasus came in a whirlwind, and Liu Jie was nervous!

The man on the flying horse got off the ground and knelt in the snow. He shouted: "Liu Shunting, the judge of the official Cao, Pu Yuanzong, the official of the central government, and Pu Yuanzong, the deputy Si Yongcheng Xiyan, led the loyal soldiers and killed the capital of the country. The treacherous ministers who did evil in the middle of the country surrounded the king, and asked the envoy and Lord Jincheng to enter the capital immediately and preside over the overall situation."

  Liu Jie could not understand the Chinese language with obvious local characteristics, but Li Yi did.

  Many scholars and nobles understood.

  They gathered around one after another, all of them terrified.

   After repeated confirmation, everyone fell silent.

  Happiness comes too fast.

  Just now, they were still wanted and wanted to be killed, but in the blink of an eye, the world turned upside down, and Li Long, who terrified them, was now a prisoner.

  Everyone couldn't believe it, and looked at Mr. Jincheng one after another.

   After being silent for a long time, Li Yi burst into tears, and immediately fell down at Liu Jie's feet, deeply moved and said: "I finally understand the deep meaning of the Master Master..."

   Liu Jie stood there blankly, still a little bit unresponsive!

  Problem... Solved?

  So easy?

  Under the great sorrow and joy, Liu Jie couldn't help but burst into tears: "Master is unfathomable, unfathomable!"

  Countless people hugged their heads and cried loudly, thanking themselves for being able to survive.

  A seed has been planted in Li Yi's heart. He can't imagine that a person can make such accurate judgments and decisions thousands of miles away...

  After being excited, Liu Jie patted Mr. Jincheng on the shoulder: "We should go to Seoul immediately, Mr. Jincheng, your luck has come."

   "You mean..." Li Yi seemed to have thought of something, and looked at Liu Jie cautiously.

  Liu Jie was silent for a moment and said: "The entire North Korean country needs a clan to preside over the overall situation. Both Shigong and I think that Lord Jincheng is the most suitable."

"But…"

   "No need, that's what Shigong meant..."

  Master's meaning... This made Li Yi suddenly feel reassured.

  In fact, he was a little worried. After all, the people who started the rebellion used to be Brother Wang’s confidantes, and they were not his subordinates. These people were forced to rebel to protect themselves because they were pressured by Daming!

  And these people still hold military power in their hands, even if they are supported, they are just puppets held hostage.

  However, with the guarantee of the envoy, and even the intention of the master who can be regarded as exhaustive, then he has much more confidence: "Master Ling, you are really admirable..."

  ...

  Fang Jifan was almost forgotten.

  The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty surrounded the conquest of North Korea, and their faces were red with arguing.

  Emperor Hongzhi had just passed the new year, and immediately began to fall into the troubles of the military department asking for money, the household department crying for poverty, and then scholars all over the world screaming for the court to send troops.

  So no one talked to Fang Jifan, and Fang Jifan had no choice but to teach in Xishan Academy.

  Zhu Hou was still thinking about the affairs of North Korea, and he repeatedly urged Fang Jifan: "Has Liu Jie released?"

  Fang Jifan replied to Zhu Houzhao: "I think you have already set off?"

   "What if he is greedy for life and afraid of death, and refuses to set off?" Zhu Houzhao's questions are always very strange.

  Fang Jifan thought for a while, shook his head and said: "Liu Gong's son will not be like this, we must have confidence in Liu Gong."

  Zhu Houzhao smiled and said: "Let's go quickly. It would be better if the tyrant Li Long killed him along the way."

   "What?" Fang Jifan was a little confused.

Zhu Houzhao said eloquently: "If this is the case, then the imperial court will be more determined to crusade against North Korea. Think about it, Liu Jie is Master Liu's own son, and Master Liu is just such a son. Gong Chi named himself the commander-in-chief of the North Korean army, sneaked out of the pass, and led the troops into the North Korean country."

  Fang Jifan couldn't help looking at Zhu Houzhao with contempt, this man... has a problem with his mind.

   Zhu Houzhao remembered something, and said instead: "Also, I am here to apologize today."

  Fang Jifan was puzzled and said, "Did Your Highness offend me?"

"It's to correct my mistakes. I shouldn't talk nonsense about my sister's right and wrong. In fact, she is just a child. When I led her to make trouble, she couldn't walk steadily. The father and mother blamed it. She was so frightened that she cried, hey, she doesn't understand anything, what else can she do if she doesn't cry."

  Fang Jifan said conveniently: "Did Your Highness ask you to tell me?"

  Zhu Houzhao frowned and said, "No, why should I listen to her?"

  Fang Jifan gave him a blank look: "That's it, Her Royal Highness must be very angry, so Her Royal Highness Prince obediently came to correct it."

Zhu Houzhao was overjoyed, and patted Fang Jifan on the shoulder and said: "Old Fang, you still know about me, no wonder you say you are a brother, just like the roundworm in my stomach, she loves to cry too much, I can't stand it, you must not marry a wife." Marry someone like this."

  Fang Jifan was silent.

  Zhu Houzhao was about to jump up angrily: "Why didn't you respond? Why do you think you have other plans?"

  Fang Jifan lazily said: "Yes, marrying a wife is a major event, so you must be careful."

  Zhu Houzhao breathed a sigh of relief: "I have something to tell you."

   As he spoke, he dragged Fang Jifan into the Minglun Hall. The Minglun Hall was empty, and the students were all led to ride horses.

  Zhu Houzhao looked at Fang Jifan seriously and said: "My father issued an order yesterday, ordering Ma Wensheng, Minister of the Ministry of War, and Zhang Mao, the British Duke, to review and test the three armies, do you know?"

  Fang Jifan pretended to be dazed, shook his head and said, "I don't know."

  He said he didn't know, but he knew it in his heart. This reading test was clearly recorded in Mingshilu.

   On the first day of April in the 14th year of Hongzhi, Ma Wensheng, Shangshu of the Ministry of War, together with the **** Chen Kuan, the **** of the Ministry of Rites, and Zhang Mao, the British Duke, read and tried the strategy of riding and shooting the commander-in-chief of each battalion. And try, often holding the bow can not shoot the arrow, and some people even fall to the ground; and ask the strategy, can not answer. Ma Wensheng and others, please punish them more severely, or punish them by taking away their salaries, or remove them from their names. And please publish the "Wu Jing Zong Yao", and award the military ministers and generals in Beijing to support their knowledge. Xiaozong followed it.

  Fang Jifan had memorized this information fluently long ago, because this piece of historical data can be called the material of the corruption of the Ming army's discipline!

  After the Tumu Fortress, although Daming also began to purge the army, the army became more and more corrupt, so that in the Hongzhi Dynasty, this corruption can be glimpsed from this inspection.

The subjects of the test this time were the Beijing Camp and the Forbidden Army. In other words, this was supposed to be the most elite unit of the Ming Dynasty, but those who participated in the test were all nobles in the Beijing Camp, such as earls with military positions, The Marquis, their children, and even many military officers.

It's just a pity that the results were so miserable that even Emperor Hongzhi couldn't stand it. A large number of officers didn't know how to shoot with bows and arrows in their hands. It's a bow.

  This incident aroused the anger of Emperor Hongzhi, and these records can actually find some clues in the historical materials of Wa Kingdom and Annan Kingdom. From this, it can be seen that there should be envoys from various countries to watch the ceremony at that time.

   What a shame...

  Zhu Houzhao didn't know that Daming's military equipment had been relaxed to such an extent. At this moment, he stared at Fang Jifan and said excitedly: "It will be exciting then, but... I am very worried about you now."

   "What are you worried about me?" Fang Jifan was taken aback: "Does it have something to do with me?"

  Zhu Houzhao nodded, and said word by word: "Of course it does matter. You are the official of Qianhu of Habayashi Guard, and you are also the uncle of Xinjian, the son of Pingxihou. What do you think?"

  This means...

  Damn it...that...holding a bow and being unable to shoot an arrow, and even falling to the ground with a bow, can't it be someone like me?
