The Reborn Duke of Ming Dynasty

Later on the day when Liang Chao and Li Yang went to Suzhou, a letter came from Fujian, and the money there had been sorted out, and now they were on their way.

This is a good thing in the first place, after all, as long as the money is brought in and counted, if there is no problem, then Zhang Fan can immediately have the money carried on board, pat his ass and leave back to Beijing, here There is nothing more to do with him.

But now Zhang Fan is not happy at all. The reason is naturally that the incident of the killing of the gate official a few days ago made Zhang Fan really upset. Actually speaking, this incident has nothing to do with Zhang Fan. Even if the Japanese pirates are behind this, and even if the Japanese pirates are planning to attack a large area along the coast, it will be several days later. By then, Zhang Fan may have returned to the capital long ago. No matter how troublesome it is, even if Liu Shan made the whole thing up, it has nothing to do with him.

But Zhang Fan can't do this. After all, he is also a high-ranking official of Ming Dynasty, and now he knows a little bit about this matter, so of course he can't just sit idly by. Coupled with the patriotism in his heart, As well as the dislike of people from the island country to the east in the education he received in his previous life, he couldn't just sit idly by.

But Zhang Fan has some troubles now. Qi Jiguang, who has been letting go of the southeast coast, was transferred to northern Xinjiang by Long Qing at the beginning of this year to "protect the law" for the tribute exchange market. The terracotta warriors here have a lot of experience that has become a habit, whether it is daily training or dealing with Japanese pirates, but Zhang Fan, who has learned some psychological analysis in his previous life, understands that the role of spiritual leaders is very important. If the attack comes, there is a big difference between Qi Jiguang's presence and absence, which can directly affect the combat effectiveness of the troops. Now the northern border is stabilizing, but neither Longqing nor the imperial court will agree to it because of Zhang Fan. Qi Jiguang was transferred back from northern Xinjiang because of uncertain news. After all, at this time, Daming was helping Alda to eliminate the discordant forces within Tatar. I can't help but wonder whether I will suddenly turn around and point directly at the territory of Ming Dynasty. This is something that no one can say for sure. Therefore, the current Qi Jiguang must stay in the northern border.

Moreover, Zhang Fan is not only worried about these things. As mentioned earlier, although there are many signs and there is a high possibility that the Japanese pirates intend to invade on a large scale, after all, Bai is not completely sure now. If he is not completely sure, Zhang Fan will not be able to report to the imperial court, or remind the border guards all over the coast to pay attention, not to mention whether they will believe what Zhang Fan said, and more importantly, in a feudal dynasty, false military information would But the crime of deceiving the emperor, if nothing really happened, then even the emperor Long Qing couldn't resist the ancestral etiquette to hug Zhang Fan.

This is the so-called selfishness of people. Zhang Fan is not a saint. He is not yet so enlightened. If anything involves his family, he will think twice before acting.

So all in all, the current Zhang Fan is very worried that the Japanese pirates will attack aggressively, and wants to be able to make preparations, but because of the uncertainty of the information, he cannot report to the higher authorities or other people, reminding them to pay attention, the current Zhang Fan I can only rely on my own subordinates, I hope they can quickly find out the truth of the matter, so that he can find a solution, but Zhang Fan knows in his heart that if it is really the Japanese pirates who are planning to invade, there are many things to talk about now. It was too late, you know, the action of removing the opponent's checkpoint is usually before the army is about to attack, but now that this action has already started, how can Zhang Fan not be worried.

Thinking of the truth behind the incident, Zhang Fan couldn't help but think of Liu Shan. This Liu Shan didn't know how many tricks and stumbling blocks he had set for Zhang Fan. Even after he died, he still wanted to stay. Seeing things like this as a scourge really made Zhang Fan hate him very much.

Suddenly, a light flashed in Zhang Fan's mind. If Liu Shan was really behind this matter, then if he followed Liu Shan's lead to investigate, he might be able to find something. It is very clear that Liu Shan has always been secretive in his work. If it is investigated, it is very likely that nothing can be found, or it will take a long time and a lot of effort to find out, but now The situation has an uncertain urgency. Since there is a way in front of us, it is better to always try it, and there may be some gains.

As soon as you think about it, do it right away. Although Wang Meng and Liang Chao, two of Zhang Fan's most trusted subordinates, have been sent out to investigate this matter, Zhang Fan also believes that other people under his command will also follow his orders. will fully implement.

After recruiting his own subordinates, Zhang Fan gave them some instructions. The factory guards under his command did not understand Zhang Fan's intentions. They did not know why he was after Liu Shan was punished, and all the dirty money had been recovered. Now that the batch of money is about to be transported, they are still asked to investigate Liu Shan's affairs, and the time span Zhang Fan asked them to investigate is so large that it started when Zhang Fan just arrived in Jiangnan. .

This made the factory guards who had received the order really complain in their hearts. After all, some time ago, when Liu Shan was still jumping, they received Zhang Fan's order, and they could be said to monitor Liu Shan's every move around the clock, but that At that time, they didn't find anything. It can be said that Liu Shan's confidentiality work is really excellent, but now, Liu Shan can't jump anymore. In such a hot summer, the corpses are probably starting to grow worms But Zhang Fan actually asked them to investigate who Liu Shan had contacted before, and these factory guards saw Zhang Fan's tense face and extremely serious appearance, obviously the things involved must be It is very important, which makes these people feel a little headache.

However, an order is an order, not to mention that it comes from the commander of Jinyiwei. As a direct order from their immediate superior Zhang Fan, they absolutely have no right or reason to refuse, so these factory guards also responded loudly and proudly. Yes, they turned around and left vigorously, and went to carry out the mission. However, in fact, they didn't know what to expect in their hearts, and they didn't know what the result would be.

Watching his subordinates leave to carry out his orders, Zhang Fan didn't know what was going on in his heart, and suddenly fell silent. Everything is out of control now, and all he can do is this. We have to wait until things can come to a conclusion before we can make specific preparations.

Thinking of preparations, Zhang Fan suddenly had thoughts in his heart. He thought of the people around him. If Japanese pirates invaded aggressively, he would be protected with all his strength because of his special status. There would be no problem with his safety, but As for the people around him, by Zhang Fan's side now, there are two women he loves deeply, Yingyue and Luo Linger, his family, uncle Zhang Yufang's family of six, and Zhang Juzheng, whom he promised his teacher to ensure safety. Xu Jie, of course, and most importantly, the safety of his current student, the present Prince Zhu Yijun of Ming Dynasty.

Thinking of this, Zhang Fan felt that he had to take action quickly. He had to persuade these people to let them leave here temporarily to avoid the possible war that might arise here.

Zhang Fan thought about it for a while. His uncle Zhang Yufang's family is very persuasive. With his weight in Zhang Yufang's eyes, Zhang Fan can let them leave temporarily without even explaining the reason to him. Here, after all, Zhang Yufang believed in Zhang Fan for no reason now.

Among the remaining people, Zhang Fan felt that Xu Jie was the one who could be persuaded better. Of course, persuading Xu Jie has a lot of uncertainties. You must know that Xu Jie is very stubborn, but at the same time he is also very sensible. After knowing this matter, it is possible to guess that the folks in the village would not leave at all; but it is also possible to understand Zhang Juzheng's explanation to Zhang Fan, and he does not want him to make it difficult, plus Xu Jie's concern for his family, The possibility of leaving is very high. Zhang Fan has already made up his mind. If Xu Jie is unwilling to leave during the first negotiation, then he will use Xu Jie's family as an excuse. Maybe he will also find him at that time. Go to Xu Jie's family to talk about this matter. Xu Jie loves his grandson and grandson so much, presumably it will not be too difficult to persuade him to leave.

After drawing up a solution to the above two problems in his mind, Zhang Fan started to have a headache for the next one. Yingyue and Luo Linger are two women he loves deeply, so naturally he would not say that they are very important to put here. It may be in an extremely dangerous situation, but he also knows that Yingyue and Luo Linger are also extremely concerned about him. It is very difficult to let them leave him, and Zhang Fan can't tell them the truth of the matter, because if he does that , these two people will not want to leave even more.

The remaining Zhu Yijun is not very persuasive. For the same reason, although this young prince has read a lot of books, he is not very clear about the reality and cruelty of war. If he is told the matter, he may want to stay After all, it would be troublesome, but Zhang Fan has a solution. After all, Zhu Yijun still has Ruan Er who he values ​​very much by his side. As long as Ruan Er's safety is used as an excuse, I believe Zhu Yijun will return to Beijing first. In that case, Zhang Fan would not be able to monitor Ruan Er by Zhu Yijun's side. He was not at ease with Ruan Er, and he needed to think carefully about this matter.
