Prodigal Son of the Ming Dynasty

  Chapter 513 Military achievements come

  Fang Jifan's words are a bit heavy.

  This is group satire.

  Although people who can sit here will definitely not blush easily.

Some people want to argue with Fang Jifan, but they find that they seem to be arguing with a brain disease, which seems to affect their reputation. To put it bluntly, even if you have a sharp tongue, sharp teeth, and use your mouth to overthrow Fang Jifan On the ground, so what? Victory is not martial arts.

   What's more, since the change of Tumubao, Ming Dynasty's civil servants have gradually grasped the power, and the martial arts have begun to step aside.

  But because of this, the disadvantages of Daming also began to show.

Since Emperor Hongwugao, it has even gone through Emperor Wen and Renzong...Even Ming Xuanzong, the Emperor Xuanzong who was named after Wenzhi, followed Emperor Wen to Mongolia when he was young. After he became the throne, he personally led troops to station at Xifeng When he saw the Oirats coming to attack, he took his own guards and personally commanded the battle. He was so brave that he raised his bow and shot several Oirats in succession, defeated the Oirats, and finally forced them to surrender.

Afterwards, when Emperor Yingzong came to the throne, in history, the so-called civil fortress battle seemed to be like Emperor Yingzong was fed up, refused to listen to advice, and insisted on the imperial conquest. In fact, it is wrong here. People often It is believed that it was Wang Zhen's slander that deceived Emperor Yingzong, so he drove himself to conquer. But the actual situation is that even without Wang Zhen's slander, Ming Yingzong would also drive himself to conquer, because this is the tradition of Emperor Taizu Gao. Yingzong's father, Emperor Xuanzong, would come to the border town to fight against the Wala people; He was also the one who personally led the army to fight. As for his grandfather's father, Emperor Wen, he attacked the desert again and again, using the entire desert as a hunting ground, beating the remnants of the Northern Yuan Dynasty and eradicating the grass.

   It is a tradition for the Yingzong to conquer in person, but he died in the end.

Since then, the emperor's admiration for martial arts has come to an abrupt end. In the eyes of everyone, advocating martial arts has become an extremely shameful thing, so that the imperial court's military equipment has been slack, and it has fallen to the present day. Every year, the imperial court provides countless money and food. Flooding in the southeast has become a serious problem. The Tatars grew stronger day by day, and the Hexi Corridor, the influence of Ming Dynasty also weakened day by day.

  All the princes in the court said that the money and food for raising soldiers were getting heavier and heavier, and the court was already overwhelmed.

So…

  What about the actual effect?

   You spent the money, right? You spent so much money on food, but you were beaten everywhere, and you were burned everywhere. Who is to blame?

Liu Jian suppressed his hand and decided to smooth things over: "Okay, talking, talking, why did it become like this, if you have something to say, say it well, the flying ball is not useless, it's just...Fang Jifan, what they said is , I am afraid that the effect is not significant, and if it is not significant enough, I am afraid that money and food will be wasted. As for what Fang Jifan said, it is also reasonable. Over the years, the money and food spent by the court have been several times higher than that of Emperor Wen and Emperor Xuan. But this money and food, the flowers are spent, but how much is spent wisely? This is our fault, and there is nothing wrong with it. If it is changed, the Ministry of War... needs to review it!"

   Ma Wensheng blushed: "Yes, the lower officials must... review it carefully, and the Ministry of War must re-establish the strategy of Ma Zheng."

Liu Jian said again: "As for whether this flying ball can kill the enemy, what is the use, and how useful is it, this... is not yet determined, because after all, it has never been really used in the army. Fang Jifan has saved people by using it. , but I, Ming, can’t spend so much money and food just to save people, can I? How about this, here in Xishan, build 30 ships first, and the Ministry of Households will allocate the money and food, and use it first. If it is effective, then Make some more, but if it doesn’t work, let’s just let it go. How?”

   "This..." Li Dongyang was still a little bit reluctant.

  Wang Ao was severely slapped by Fang Jifan, and he couldn't get down. After all, he is the emperor's teacher, and he is also a heavenly official. You know...well, you seem to know a lot of things, but...

  Wang Ao said: "I have nothing to say about this, but...it can't be used to kill the enemy, and the skillful lewd skills, the old man still thinks it's a waste. Negative picture, what do you say?"

  He hoped to take Ma Wensheng, Minister of the Ministry of War, together for the final struggle.

  Ma Wensheng felt that he was shot while lying down, and it didn’t take a day to be frozen three feet. I, the Minister of the Ministry of War, am I so unlucky?

  He looked at Wang Ao, then at Fang Jifan.

  Wang Ao is the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, equal to himself, but his status is obviously higher than his own, so it is not easy to offend. Look at Fang Jifan again, Fang Jifan is a scum, a stinking shameless thing, well, he is determined to stand by Fang Jifan, because... scum and stinking shameless people are the worst people to offend: "Grand Liu You’re right, is this thing a miracle or not? You’ll know when you use it after you make it. I’ll find a way to save the money and rations of the Ministry of War in other places.”

   "..." Wang Ao was a little confused.

   This king's negative map is a bit wrong.

  Emperor Hongzhi didn't speak from the beginning to the end, and he always kept his words stingy in such a closed-door discussion: "If that's the case, then let's do it this way."

   As he said that, Emperor Hongzhi got up: "I am a little tired today. The Ministry of War has come up with a regulation in the past few days."

Emperor Hongzhi was in a bad mood. Hearing what Fang Jifan said, he really felt sorry for his ancestors. Not to mention Emperor Gaozu, but Emperor Wen, Emperor Ren, and Emperor Xuan. Zhu'er, who personally went to the battlefield to kill people, is really worse than the next generation.

  Emperor Hongzhi prided himself on his martial arts, and still has some merits, but this martial arts has been in vain so far, and he can't help but feel a little bit melancholy.

Everyone saw His Majesty's disheartened look, and Liu Jian seemed to see His Majesty's thoughts. It has been fifteen years since the Hongzhi Dynasty. In the past fifteen years, except that the chaos in Guizhou was finally stabilized, it seems... indeed Nothing to get out of it. It would be fine if His Majesty is a fatuous and incompetent person, but the Emperor is still so diligent.

  Liu Jian hurriedly said: "In that case, I will take my leave."

  ...

  Jinyiwei Commander Mu Bin held a memorial from Shanhaiguan in his hand.

  He was a little confused.

  What is the meaning of this report...?

   I can't understand it.

  Fang Jifan...killed the Tatar prince?

Mou Bin has heard a lot about the Great Prince of Tatar. The Great Khan of Tatar is an ambitious man, and his sons are all like tigers and leopards, especially the Great Prince, who is even more terrifying , this person... is dead?

   Besides, Fang Jifan killed him?

  The question is, has Fang Jifan passed the test?

  According to the report, Fang Jifan went to Shanhaiguan a few days ago, but there is no record of leaving the customs.

  He ordered people to take the memorials from Shanhaiguan a few days ago for comparison.

   Still don't understand.

And the person who reported this matter was a small banner officer of Jinyiwei who was hiding near the Golden Tent. It is said that he was a member of the Duoyan Department. Is a very cautious person.

  Mu Bin sat behind the copybook, tapping his fingers on the copybook. He didn't know what went wrong. He always felt that the memorial was like a scripture from heaven. He seemed to understand what it meant, but... he couldn't understand it.

Standing next to him was Jin Yiwei's experience, Shen Huangzhi, Jin Yiwei's experience in the department, although the official position is very low, he is almost the most important staff around the commander. He seems to have seen through the mind of Commander Mou: "Commander, is it I don't think there are many strange things in this report."

   "Yes, I suspect that this is the Tatars, so they spread the false news, but the question is, what can they get when they spread such bold false news?"

"Yes, I heard that the eldest prince is the number one warrior of the Tatars, and he is also brave and resourceful. He once attacked my Ming's Hexi land alone, so that my Ming had to shrink our defenses in Hexi. This person is not a simple person. How could he be killed so easily? An important person like him, surrounded by many guards, was hacked to death with an axe. In the report, Uncle Xinjian was mentioned repeatedly. I really can't guess Thorough."

   "Look, do you want to verify this news?" Mou Bin stared at Shen Huangzhi.

  Shen Huangzhi frowned: "If we verify the situation, there will be no news within ten days and half a month. And Dongchang..."

   "Are you worried that Dongchang will send the news to Yuqian first?"

"Yes." Shen Huangzhi smiled wryly: "A few days ago, Dongchang had better news than Jinyiwei. Eunuch Xiao always hoped that Dongchang would show his face more in front of His Majesty. His goal has been achieved, but our Jinyiwei , some inside and outside are not human."

  Mou Bin's face turned cold, but he said in his mouth: "The factory guards all work for His Majesty, regardless of each other, that's okay."

  Shen Huangzhi said with a smile: "It might as well, let's play it, at least it shows that our Jinyiwei still has some achievements in the desert."

   "But what if the news is not true?" Mu Bin was a little worried.

   "The news is not true. That is also the problem of the hundred households in the desert. Commander, tell His Majesty in advance that the news has not been confirmed, and that is enough."

  Mou Bin nodded, thinking it made sense, but he really didn't want to be taken over by Dongchang again.

"But if the news is accurate, then... this is a great contribution. Since Emperor Wen of the Ming Dynasty, I have never killed a prince of the Tatar or Oala tribe. If your majesty knows, you will be very happy. Moreover, this To play the report, Commander Mou is required to play the report in person, this Dongchang is good at asking for credit, so don’t we, Jin Yiwei, not know how to do it?”

  After hearing this, Mou Bin nodded his head and said, "That's right, since that's the case, prepare the horse immediately, and I'll go to the palace!" He stood up, and this memorial must be explained clearly, otherwise...it will be unclear at that time.
