I, Jiajing, successfully cultivated immortality

Chapter 338 Plotting the Tatars
Jizhou, Governor's Mansion.

At this moment, Yang Bo, Zuo Shangshu of the Ministry of War, and Yang Xuan, governor of Jiliao, gathered together to discuss the next strategy.

I saw Yang Xuan put the tea cup in his hand aside, and said immediately.

"Brother Wei Yue, the imperial court has gradually shifted its strategic focus from the southeast to the north."

When Yang Bo heard this, he couldn't help showing a trace of curiosity on his face, and asked him.

"Oh, how do you see it?"

Yang Xuan looked away from Yang Bo and explained.

"For a long time, the strategy implemented by the imperial court has been to first go south and then go north, but right now, the Japanese pirates in the south have been wiped out by Hu Zongxian!"

"And Hu Zongxian, by virtue of his contribution to exterminating Japanese pirates, was promoted to General Hussars!"

"Once the southeast is stable, the court will be able to free up its hands and concentrate on dealing with the Tatars in the north. At that time, our chance will come!"

After listening to Yang Xuan's analysis, Yang Bo quite agreed with this, and then said.

"Yes, you can get a glimpse of it from the supplies recently delivered by the imperial court."

"For a long time, due to the large amount of cash transported by the imperial court, the price of goods in the border areas has risen. Many soldiers have complained about this, but now, most of the supplies transported by the imperial court are in kind!"

"According to the caravans and officials responsible for transporting supplies, the imperial court will vigorously transport related goods in the future, so that prices in the border areas will gradually stabilize!"

Yang Xuan who was at the side nodded when he heard this, and immediately agreed.

"Well, not only that, the supplies sent by the imperial court are more than twice the usual amount, and the rest, such as ordnance, food, etc., are countless. I heard that a new weapon called a grenade was also sent."

Immediately afterwards, Yang Xuan looked around before lowering his voice.

"Brother Wei Yue, tell me, if the time is right, will His Majesty formally use troops against the Tatars?"

Hearing this, Yang Bo shook his head and said slowly.

"At present, I have not received any news about this, but judging from the current situation, His Majesty will use troops against the Tatars sooner or later!"

"Your Majesty is so talented and insightful, not only helped Ming Dynasty to get rid of the empty state treasury, but also wiped out all the Japanese pirates who have been entrenched in the southeast coast for a long time!"

"What I need to do is to train well and wait for the right time. When the time is right, I can march north and drive the Tatars out completely, so that they will never dare to invade the border of our Ming Dynasty again!"

After Yang Bo finished speaking, he couldn't help clenching his fists, his eyes full of expectation.

Yang Xuan on the side also seemed to be infected by Yang Bo's words, and he withdrew his gaze and said in a deep voice.

"Well, there will be such a day!"

……

The Forbidden City, the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

It was late at night, but the Hall of Mental Cultivation was still brightly lit.

I saw Jiajing standing in front of a huge map with his hands behind his back, in a state of contemplation, while Lu Fang beside Jiajing looked at Jiajing with a worried face.

"Your Majesty, it's getting late, you should rest!"

After a long time of inner struggle, Lu Fang took a step forward and exhorted Jiajing.

Hearing this, Jiajing suddenly came back to his senses, waved his hand, and said casually.

"It's okay, I'm not sleepy yet."

Afterwards, Jiajing looked away from the map, turned to Lu Fang who was at the side, and asked.

"By the way, have all the supplies needed for the important town on the Nine Sides been delivered?"

Seeing this, Lu Fang thought for a moment, and immediately responded respectfully.

"Yes, Your Majesty, all the supplies have been delivered. Not only that, the supplies delivered this time are more than twice the usual amount, and most of them are real objects. According to this situation, the prices in the border areas will soon stabilize."

"At the same time, there are grenades developed by the Weapons Division!"

And when Jiajing learned from Lu Fang that the newly developed grenade from the Ordnance Department was transported along with the supplies to the important town of Nine Borders this time, a look of astonishment appeared on his face, and he immediately said.

"This Zhang Juzheng moves really fast!"

Seeing this, Lu Fang immediately responded with words.

"Yes, Your Majesty, this servant was quite surprised when he heard the news. This Zhang Juzheng is really a pillar of our Ming Dynasty!"

Afterwards, Jiajing came to sit on the dragon chair, stroked the dragon head carved on it with his hand, and asked Lu Fang.

"By the way, what's going on with the Weapons Department?"

When Lu Fang heard the words, his expression immediately turned serious, and he responded respectfully.

"Report to Your Majesty, a total of 660 taels was allocated to the Household Department earlier!"

"After receiving this grant, the Armament Division opened workshops in hidden places in the capital to vigorously produce grenades. At most, it could produce nearly a thousand grenades a day!"

Jiajing frowned when he heard this, and then gave instructions to Lu Fang.

"The current output is far from enough, you go and tell Yi Bin, I will give him whatever he wants."

"I only have one request, that is, to increase the output of the grenade, and it is best to double it on the original basis!"

After listening to Jiajing's order, Lu Fang immediately responded.

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Jiajing nodded slightly, then turned around and gave instructions to Lu Fang.

"Okay, it's getting late, go back and rest, I'm a little tired too."

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

After Lu Fang responded, she took silent steps and left the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

……

When Lu Fang came out from the Hall of Mental Cultivation and was about to go back to the Supervisor of Rituals to rest, a young eunuch appeared in front of him.

Seeing this, Lu Fang frowned imperceptibly, and asked him.

"what's up?"

And the little eunuch who blocked Lu Fang's way was very keenly aware of the displeasure in Lu Fang's words, and his face turned pale in an instant. After sensing Lu Fang's sight, he immediately mustered up his courage and trembled road.

"Eunuch Lu, Eunuch Shi and the others sent me here. Your godson Feng Bao is...kneeling in front of your house right now!"

After Lu Fang understood the reason of the matter, the expression on her face became much better, and her tone gradually softened, confirming to him.

"You mean, Feng Bao knelt down in my room?"

"Yes... yes, Eunuch Lu!"

Seeing this, the little eunuch forcibly suppressed the panic in his heart, and continued to add.

"Eunuch Shi and the others can't do anything about it, because...so they sent me to inform you!"

After listening to the little eunuch's narration, Lu Fang nodded and said slowly.

"Well, I know about this, tell him for me, no need to kneel!"

The little eunuch saw that his mission for this trip was completed, and immediately turned his gaze to Lu Fang, thanking him a thousand times.

"Thank you Eunuch Lu, thank you Eunuch Lu!"

"Okay, let's go back, don't make them wait."

A smile appeared on Lu Fang's face at the right time, and she ordered so.

"Yes, Eunuch Lu!"

After listening to Lu Fang's order, the little eunuch bowed to him and left the place quickly.

Lu Fang looked at the leaving figure of the little eunuch, her face gradually became indifferent, and she said silently.

"Hmph, this time I'm going to teach you a lesson!"

After Lu Fang finished speaking, he turned around and left the place. He didn't plan to go back to the Prison of Rituals tonight.

At this moment, outside the room where Lv Fang rests, the supervisor of ceremonies.

As before, Feng Bao knelt in front of Lu Fang's room, motionless, like a sculpture.

Feng Bao wanted to use this to pray for Lu Fang's forgiveness.

Due to kneeling for too long, Feng Bao's knees were already numb and he lost consciousness, but he still knelt on the ground full of hope. He believed that Lu Fang would definitely come.

Time passed so slowly. During this process, other members of the Supervisor of Ceremonies also stepped forward to persuade Feng Bao to get up from the ground, but Feng Bao ignored their words and still went his own way, unwilling to move half a step.

After a long time, the little eunuch from before ran in, turned his gaze to Feng Bao, and said loudly.

"Eunuch Feng, Eunuch Lu asked me to tell you something, he said you don't have to kneel!"

When Feng Bao heard this, his face was full of astonishment, he lost all his strength in an instant, and passed out.

"Eunuch Feng, Eunuch Feng, are you okay..."
