The Reborn Duke of Ming Dynasty

"My lord. Good news." Liang Chao hurried in.He was waving something in his hand.

"Why are you so flustered? It seems that something good really happened. It's supposed to make you so happy." Zhang Fan said with a smile.That's not to say he still has the time to tell jokes.He was just pretending to be relaxed.

the day before yesterday.Wang Xiliang and a group of factory guards have already set off by boat.Thinking of Fusang and drove away.In order to avoid encountering Japanese pirates at sea.They took a detour on purpose.From the east of the Yellow Sea, we sailed in a big circle to Fusang.Although this route is not completely safe.But relatively speaking, it is much better.After all, Japanese pirates used small boats.The speed is not fast.It is unlikely that it took so much effort to get here.Although it takes a little time to go this way.But there is no way.They were on a merchant ship.Are there any defensive weapons like artillery.And even if there is.Zhang Fan couldn't install them in a short time.Moreover.The official documents of the court did not arrive.Zhang Fan has the right to mobilize warships.But he has no right to conscript warships.Although everyone on the ship has a knife.But just in case.That's the only way to do it.

But Zhang Fan and the others still haven't figured it out yet.This time the Japanese pirates plan to attack somewhere in the Ming Dynasty.Where to log in from.Without knowing this there is no way to defend.It is really depressing.But as said above.Shandong is indeed a bit far from Fusang.It is not suitable for a large number of small boats to travel long distances.And halfway through the entire Korean peninsula.Not a good destination for Japanese pirates.

"The imperial court's official document has come down." Liang Chao said happily.The things in his hands were also handed over.

"Seriously." Zhang Fan was very pleasantly surprised when he heard the news.He hurriedly took something from Liang Chao's hand and opened it to look at it.

Liang Chao saw Zhang Fan looking at the official document.It didn't bother him either.Wait until Zhang Fan raised his head.Only then did he ask: "My lord, what does the official document from the court say?"

"This thing is full of official words. But now I am a general who drives away the barbarians. Now I have the right to temporarily mobilize all the troops in Shandong, Nanzhili, Zhejiang and Fujian provinces. But as long as there is no war. My right is only for mobilization. I can't command them to fight. And in order to ensure the early understanding of the war here, Your Majesty still sent General Qi and the Qi family army under his command to come here. But the journey is far away. I guess it will take a long time for General Qi to get here Time." Zhang Fan said.Because it matters.The official documents came first.However, the imperial decree will not arrive until two days later.However, this does not prevent Zhang Fan from exercising his right now.But Zhang Fan immediately looked puzzled again.As if talking to himself. "But this time, I really didn't expect the court to come to a conclusion so quickly on this matter that has no evidence. Even the official document was drafted and issued."

Zhang Fan's doubts did not seem strange.The court of Ming Dynasty was notoriously procrastinated.It came out in the era of Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang.At that time, it was because of Zhu Yuanzhang's deterrent power.It really is that political affairs are carried out vigorously and resolutely.Not too procrastinating.But after.Even if Zhu Di became the emperor.Even with his brave reputation, he couldn't restrain the ministers in the imperial court.At that time, the capital was moved to Shuntian Mansion.It can be said that Zhu Di was thoroughly annoyed by those civil servants.This shows the efficiency of the Ming court.

this time.What Zhang Fan played was not insignificant.But there is no real evidence in his memorial.That's why Zhang Fan was surprised.Why was the official document issued so quickly this time.

"The person who brought the official document is one of our people. I have heard from him about the situation." Liang Chao heard Zhang Fan's question.Open your mouth and say. "I heard that Your Majesty's memorial has been submitted to Your Majesty. Your Majesty trusts Your Majesty very much. But in the cabinet, Gao Gong and his follower, Guo Pu, disagree. Li Chunfang didn't say anything. But Your Majesty's teacher, Mr. Zhang I also agree with the adults. I mentioned it once, but I saw that other people didn’t agree with it, so I won’t say it again.” Liang Chao said what the factory guard who delivered the letter told him.From here, we can also see Jin Yiwei's ability.What happened above the court.They are all crystal clear.

Zhang Fan has no objection to Zhang Juzheng's approach.He knew Zhang Juzheng's difficulties.After all, Zhang Juzheng is now planning the reform.It is normal not to want to attract too many political enemies.

"From what it looks like, those courtiers must be against me." Zhang Fan asked.It's just that his tone is more like a statement.

"My lord is right. The ministers and ministers of the six divisions of the imperial court, and those officials who are qualified to go to the early court are almost all opposed to your lord." Liang Chao said.

"This is a bit strange. If you put it this way, my book can be regarded as nothing." Zhang Fan said doubtfully. "And how could it be passed suddenly now?"

"Actually, my lord. Of course there are people helping here." Liang Chao said. "It's that Feng Bao."

Hear Liang Chao's answer.Zhang Fan was not surprised at all.Feng Bao will help him.This is within reason.And Feng Bao also had enough reasons to help him.After all, the account books he needs are still in Zhang Fan's hands.It was impossible for Feng Feng to just watch Zhang Fan helplessly.Or those books.Being in danger and not helping.It's just that Zhang Fan was still very puzzled.To know.Although Feng Bao is in charge of Dongchang.He is also the eunuch of the Bingbi Supervisor.Its power is naturally very great.But now almost all civil and military officials in the Manchu Dynasty disagree with Zhang Fan's excerpts.What method did he use.Let Zhang Fan's paper pass.It also allowed the court to issue official documents so quickly.

"Talk about Feng Bao. There are really some tricks." Liang Chao started talking before Zhang Fan asked. "He knew that no one agreed with your lord's statement in the court. But he knew what your majesty was thinking. He knew that your majesty actually wanted to agree with your lord. It's just that there is no evidence to prove your lord's words. Above the court. Two days of discussion have yielded no results. After that, on the third day, Your Majesty suddenly received a report from Dongchang. It said that Dongchang had captured many Japanese in Zhejiang and Fujian a few days ago. And they were not ordinary Japanese pirates. They were all dressed up as my Ming people. What's more, these Japanese pirates have a rigid mouth. They refuse to ask anything.

"As soon as this matter was brought up, the court immediately exploded. This group of courtiers thought of what the lord said before. They finally believed what the lord said. This is why the official document was issued so quickly."

After Zhang Fan listened to his words.There was a sudden realization in my heart.It turns out that there is such a thing.It seems that Feng Bao is really crazy about the position of the palm print eunuch.Actually did this kind of thing for this matter.On a big scale, it is the crime of deceiving the emperor.

"It's such a coincidence. It seems that God treats Zhang Fan well. When I go back, I need to put a few more sticks of incense. Of course. I also have to go and see Feng Bao. Thank him." Zhang Fan seemed to be at all. Unknowingly said such a sentence.

Hearing Zhang Fan's words.Liang Chao, who was still about to speak, stopped.It seems that the relationship between Zhang Fan and Feng Bao is really good.Originally, Liang Chao wanted to persuade Zhang Fan to dedicate this matter to Zhang Fan as a bargaining chip against Feng Bao.But Zhang Fan didn't want to do that.He was not going to say any more.He believes in this matter.Zhang Fan must have a plan in mind.

"Your Excellency, you have obtained the official document from the imperial court now. I think it will be much easier to act now." Liang Chao threw away the thoughts in his head just now.Let's talk about the situation at hand.

"The current situation. It is indeed a lot more convenient to have this thing in hand. But it still doesn't work." Zhang Fan sighed.Looking at the puzzled Liang Chao, he explained. "Think about it. Now we can't be sure where the Japanese pirates are going to fight. Although I have the power to deploy troops, those generals must listen to me. But I am afraid that many people are not willing. At that time, I can only garrison One place. I can’t estimate the generals of the other three provinces.”

Liang Chao heard what Zhang Fan said.I thought about it in my heart.it is as expected.The location of the attack could not be determined.Targeted defense cannot be made.Zhang Fan can only be stationed in one place.Supervise the local generals.But what about people elsewhere.

"Actually, my lord. You don't care about this matter. Your lord can just leave here like this. Leave the matter to other people." Liang Chao said.He didn't say that because he was cowardly.Or he disregarded the life and death of the people.He said this because he was worried that Zhang Fan would get into trouble because of this matter.

"It's not that I haven't thought about it that way." Zhang Fan said frankly with a helpless expression. "However. How can I watch the people here suffer. Not to mention that this is my hometown. Moreover, it is too late to say these things now. Your Majesty's imperial decree will arrive in a few days. I am now Can't get away."

The two are talking.Wang Meng came in from the door.

Zhang Fan didn't notice his expression now.Instead, he opened his mouth and told him that he had now obtained the official documents from the imperial court.Now he has the right to mobilize the troops in the four provinces.Although not at war.He has no right to direct command.

"My lord, I have something to report to you." Wang Meng said with a serious face. "Your Excellency, you can skip the part of deploying troops. You can directly start directing operations."

"What's wrong. What happened." Sure enough.Zhang Fan heard Wang Meng's words.Immediately became tense.quickly asked.

"The Japanese pirates have already attacked." Wang Meng said what Zhang Fan thought of. "Now Huai'an Mansion, Songjiang Mansion, and Ningbo Mansion are in urgent need."

heard the news.Zhang Fan and Liang Chao gasped.It seems that what should come is always coming.Hiding is impossible.
