The Reborn Duke of Ming Dynasty

Zhang Fan sent a memorial to the capital informing him that there would be a large-scale attack by Japanese pirates.It has been four days.But there is still no one in the capital to send something from the capital to Yangzhou.It's not that the capital doesn't pay attention.After all, what Zhang Fan reported was about the upcoming invasion of foreign races.Naturally, someone will pay attention to it.But since two days ago.After Zhang Fan's memorial entered the city.Two days have passed by now.But there is no movement yet.The reason for this.The situation was exactly the same as what Zhang Fan thought.It was because Long Qing received Zhang Fan's memorial.Very concerned.Although he trusted Zhang Fan very much.But it involves such a big thing as sending troops and mobilizing troops.Even if he is the emperor.He is the de facto supreme ruler of the Ming Empire.Nor does he have the right to act arbitrarily.then.After Long Qing made Zhang Fan's memorial public in the court hall.Discussions and wrangling began among the courtiers.It has been dragged on for two days and there is still no conclusion.

It stands to reason that this kind of military affairs.It shouldn't have taken so long.But it was because Zhang Fan's report that the Japanese pirates would aggressively invade the south of the Yangtze River had no real evidence.In addition, the ministers in the DPRK and China all know that Fusang Island has recently been in a state of melee among princes to grab territory.So no one would believe what Zhang Fan said.In their view.In the past, the place in the south of the Yangtze River was not untouched by a large number of Japanese pirates during the season.There were even a few times when the Japanese pirates had already approached Yingtianfu City.But which time did the pirates succeed again?In their eyes.There are hundreds of Japanese pirates in most seasons.It means thousands of people to die.It was also because the Japanese pirates came so suddenly that they were able to approach Yingtianfu.He was caught off guard when he hit the land in the south of the Yangtze River.In addition, the people in Jiangnan are not as strong as those in northern Xinjiang.That's why the Japanese pirates picked up the loopholes.

But they think so.these years.There is Qi Jiguang's operation on the eastern coast.It can be said that it is already familiar with preventing Japanese pirates from invading there.These Japanese pirates are simply not enough to cause any harm to the area in the south of the Yangtze River.not to mention.They felt that what Zhang Fan said was really watery.Or they felt that Zhang Fan was making too much of a fuss.Not believable.As for the Yangzhou Dongcheng gate gate official who was inexplicably poisoned to death.That incident was a pure accident to these courtiers.They felt that it must be the result of the enmity that the door official had forged himself.It's just a coincidence.Besides.How could there be such a big fanfare to assassinate the opponent's personnel before the invasion.Isn't this clearly telling the other party that he is coming to attack them.There can be no such stupid people in the world.

all above.That is why the courtiers objected.and.The courtiers with this idea in their hearts accounted for almost half of the court.Even a few people in the cabinet have this idea.That is naturally Gao Gong and his loyal henchman Guo Pu.The rest is Li Chunfang.But still like a boring gourd.silent.For anyone to ask him.They all smiled.I don't know if he agrees or disagrees.Gradually.Now no one cares about his opinion anymore.

But there are still people who believe Zhang Fan's words.And the first person to recommend is Long Qing.

so far.Zhang Fan had never said such affirmative words to him.But some things that Zhang Fan had guessed before had all come true.Plus this time.It was mentioned in Zhang Fan's memorial to Long Qing.He has cracked the major corruption case in Jiangnan.Getting back a lot of money for Long Qing can be used for his entertainment for a long time.And from Zhang Fan's memorial.Long Qing learned that he had sent Zhu Yijun back to the capital.This is another piece of favorable evidence.If it wasn't for a gaffe and emergency.Zhang Fan would never let Zhu Yijun out of his sight.So Long Qing naturally believed in what Zhang Fan said.But the difficulty lies.Whether to send troops or not is not the emperor's decision alone.This is the rule set by the ancestors.Even Long Qing couldn't change it.Want to send troops.Still have to solicit courtiers.Especially the consent of those in the cabinet.But now.There are already two objections in the cabinet.Li Chunfang's attitude was ambiguous again.It really gave Long Qing a headache.

There are still people who believe in Zhang Fan.That is naturally Zhang Juzheng.Zhang Juzheng knew Zhang Fan very well.He knew that Zhang Fan was not a person who would play tricks.Especially this matter is still related to the safety of many people in Jiangnan.That would be even more unreasonable.And if Zhang Fan made up this matter.That would be lying about the military situation.An official of the Ming Dynasty.Dare to form a party for personal gain, dare to practice fraud, and dare to embezzle and accept bribes.But few people dare to lie about the military situation.After all, if you violate the previous items.In the future, if something happens, maybe I can explain some secrets.Waiting for crimes and doing meritorious deeds to save lives.But lie about the military situation.If it is found out.His political enemies will surely entrap him.In the end, the lightest thing is also a crime of deceiving the emperor.That is definitely a dead end.Zhang Juzheng did not believe that Zhang Fan would not know this.Again.Zhang Fan is also a normal person.Not some hot-headed fanatic.Why do you want to do this.Zhang Fan didn't get any benefit from it.People who are not good don't care who they are or what they do.It's something no one would do.

Unfortunately.This is just Zhang Juzheng thinking so alone.Now the whole court is against it.Although he felt that Long Qing should also believe in Zhang Fan.But Yu Longqing never revealed his thoughts.And the only one in the cabinet who could possibly agree.Moreover, Li Chunfang, a very important figure, did not express his views.Zhang Juzheng didn't know what to do.Because Zhang Juzheng had already put his reform plan on the agenda.Acting cautiously now.He didn't dare to do anything that might arouse the public indignation of the ministers of the DPRK and China.In order not to hinder his reform in the future.So now he is silent.Did not say anything.

It looks like now.Civil and military officials in the Manchu Dynasty did not agree with Zhang Fan's memorial.And the only two people who believed in Zhang Fan.A Ming emperor and a cabinet minister.But because of many problems of its own.Neither came out to speak.It seems that the current situation in the imperial court is very severe for Zhang Fan and Jiangnan.

But it's not that no one doesn't want to help Zhang Fan.There is such a person today.Thinking about how to help Zhang Fan.Even started to put it into action.This person is the factory supervisor of the East Factory and the eunuch Bingbi, the supervisor of ceremonies.Feng Bao.

In fact, Feng Bao's motivation for doing this is very simple.He didn't believe in Zhang Fan.Or for the sake of the nation, the righteousness of the people, or something.He really wanted to protect Zhang Fan.Or.He is for himself.

After all, Zhang Fan still had in his hand the powerful evidence he needed to overthrow Meng Chong without being hindered by Gao Gong.Zhang Fan said a few days ago that he would use those account books to count the amount of dirty silver recovered.Although Feng Bao was anxious to overthrow Meng Chong.But he didn't urge Zhang Fan to send over the account books.Because he knew that Zhang Fan was working for Long Qing.How could it be possible to do that.

But this does not mean that Feng Bao is not in a hurry.In fact he was very anxious.Anxious to push Meng Chong down.Then he sat on the car he had dreamed of.The highest position a eunuch can attain.

Now Zhang Fan has sent a letter saying that the Japanese pirates may attack on a large scale.How could Meng Chong not be anxious?In fact, Feng Bao understood very well in his heart.With Zhang Fan's current identity and status.It was the Japanese pirates who attacked on a large scale.Even broke into the Yangzhou government.Zhang Fan will also receive excellent protection.Absolutely nothing could go wrong.But Feng Bao was worried.The so-called not afraid of ten thousand.Just in case.In case something happened to Zhang Fan.Or he was worried that if something happened to the account books that could help him get into position.Then he will temporarily stay away from the position of the palm print eunuch.Maybe in the future.Wait until Meng Chong steps down.Of course, Meng Chong is not far from stepping down.by that time.That position still belonged to Feng Bao.But the so-called late changes.In case that time comes.That Gao Gong who should kill a thousand swords in Feng Bao's mind once again made some kind of attention to hinder Feng Bao's words.Then Feng Baoke was about to go crazy.

Although he is the supervisor of the East Factory.He is in charge of the Daming Secret Service, which is even more terrifying and frightening than Jin Yiwei.But he can't send someone to assassinate Gao Gong.After all, assassinate the chief minister of the cabinet.This is no joke.Feng Bao is not that crazy yet.

so.Feng Bao was also seeking stability even in his anxiety.The top priority is that he must ensure Zhang Fan's safety.But to ensure Zhang Fan's safety.It's not that it's enough to shoot more people to protect Zhang Fan.Instead, it allowed Zhang Fan to completely stay away from the danger of war.

This thing sounds difficult.But it is very simple.As long as the imperial court is willing to send troops to the south of the Yangtze River.Prepare for a large-scale invasion of Japanese pirates.That way.Zhang Fan was fine.Although Zhang Fan is the commander of Jinyiwei's capital.But after all, he is not a military general.It was not Zhang Fan's turn to dictate the matter of leading troops to fight.Zhang Fan, who has nothing to do, will definitely come back.Come back to the relatively safe place of the capital.That way.It can keep Zhang Fan away from danger.Intentionally or unintentionally, let Zhang Fan know that Feng Bao was the one who caused the imperial court to dispatch troops.Let Zhang Fan absolutely owe him a favor; and let Zhang Fan return as soon as possible.Let him get the evidence to overthrow Meng Chong earlier.Let him sit in the position of palm print eunuch earlier.Isn't this a deal that kills two birds with one stone?

so.since these days.Feng Bao has been trying his best to persuade Long Qing.And those officials who have some friendship with him.Of course he couldn't make it so obvious.

really.Feng Bao's contribution.Some unexpected effects were produced.
