Early Ming Dynasty: Turning Clouds and Rains into New Learning Saints

Chapter 213 Emergencies
When best friends meet, there is naturally some prelude, and then we will talk about serious topics.

Just listen to Zhu Di happily saying to Zhang Yifan: "I have set up your kind of Military Beitang in Jiangyin. I call it the Naval Military Beitang. I use your Xiangshan people as instructors. Now there are five warships equipped with weapons capable of launching weapons." The kind of gunner who blasts away cannons."

Having said this, he added with a bit of regret: "It's just that there are too few bombardment artillery pieces. More of the artillery pieces cast here in the capital have to be shipped to the north and southwest. I think what my father meant is that Ready to deal with the Tatars entrenched in Yunnan and Guizhou."

Zhang Yifan listened and said with a smile: "In the past two years, you have swept away the Japanese pirates and pirates along the coast. After cleaning up, there are no enemies left. Naturally, it is impossible for my father to allocate artillery to you first."

Zhu Di admitted this, and then he said excitedly: "After the New Year, I will be twenty, and it is time to become a vassal. I plan to take the initiative to tell my father, so that after I become a vassal in Peiping, I will face The Tatars in the grassland and the Tatars in Liaodong, I will have the opportunity to deal with them."

They were talking about military affairs here, and Jing Jing and Princess Yan, Xu Da's daughter, went to the other side to talk about their women's family affairs, leaving enough space for the two gentlemen to talk.

After hearing this, Zhang Yifan asked Zhu Di: "What about the navy? Don't want it anymore?"

After hearing this, Zhu Di hesitated and said, "That depends on what the father wants."

It can be seen that he is obviously reluctant to let go of the navy who has spent so much effort.

When Zhang Yifan saw his look, he felt a little sorry for him and said: "Actually, the navy is quite good. As long as it's a coastal place, if you have a navy, you can go wherever you want. You can choose any coastline to land, just like the Japanese pirates It’s like harassing us in the Ming Dynasty. With such a long coastline, it’s too difficult to defend against.”

"Yes, my navy is far more elite than the Japanese pirates, and they are even more difficult to stop!" When Zhu Di said this, his eyes suddenly lit up and he said, "Liaodong can, right? We can fight the Tatars in Liaodong, I think even if we land in Okay. The only thing you need to worry about is the food and supplies after landing."

Having said this, Zhu Di said to himself before Zhang Yifan could speak: "Let me think about it, let me think about it again!"

Zhang Yifan became happy when he heard this. Let you think about it?Okay, then think about it more. Anyway, you will be at home with your wife to give birth next year. No matter how hard Zhu Di goes, it has nothing to do with him.

Zhang Yifan himself has basically decided to build a glass factory.Just wait until the next year to start construction.Including that other courtyard, this one belongs to our family, and we need to start construction.

Until Zhu Di left after eating, he seemed to be a little distracted and kept thinking about the war.

The flavor of the new year is getting stronger and stronger, red lanterns are beginning to be hung on the streets, and firecrackers are ringing from time to time.

Finally, during the Chinese New Year, it snowed.

The auspicious snow heralds a prosperous year, which is a good sign.

At the end of the year, the land survey of Yingtian Mansion was completed again, but the population registration was not completed.Yingtian Mansion is really crowded with too many people, and all the dignitaries are there, which is also a troublesome thing.

After the new year, registration will continue and the corresponding household registration will also need to be changed.Only after these two preparatory tasks are completed can the law of redistributing grain fields to the public be implemented.

If Zhang Yifan takes over the position of Yingtian Prefecture Yin, he will have to be busy with this matter before and after that year, and he will definitely be very busy.

Now that he has no next step, this aspect has nothing to do with him.As for the specific methods, they are all ready-made in Xiangshan County.

Moreover, Emperor Hongwu has decreed that all the top leaders in Xiangshan County will be transferred to the capital.If you are capable enough, you will take the lead in doing things; if you are not capable, you will assist in doing things.Anyway, at this time, there is no imperial examination. Whether to be an official or not, and what kind of official to be, is decided by Emperor Hongwu.

........................

Zhang Yifan is relaxed here, and Li Shanchang is equally relaxed here.

He holds the title of Duke of Korea, his official position is Grand Master, and he is making preparations for national enlightenment, that is, compiling dictionaries and simplifying Chinese characters.

Thanks to Zhang Yifan, his job was at least half easier.For this reason, as the Chinese New Year approaches, it’s time to be leisurely.

One day, he was drinking tea and admiring the snow in his mansion, when he saw his son Li Qi coming over, he said to him: "Father, the Japanese envoy is here again, how about meeting you?"

"No!" Li Shanchang flatly refused after hearing this.

When Li Qi heard this, he did not leave. He advised Li Shanchang again: "Dad, it is not easy for the Japanese envoys. They have come five or six times, and you have refused every time. This is not the way to treat guests, is it?"

When Li Shanchang heard this, he looked away from the window, looked at his son, and asked with a cold face: "Did you receive any benefits?"

He knows his son better than his father. This son is a little abnormal, and Li Shanchang probably knows the reason.

After hearing this, Li Qi shook her head and denied, "No, I just think it's the Chinese New Year, so rejecting others like this will make you upset, right?"

When Li Shanchang heard this, he immediately said: "If I see him, I will be upset!"

After finishing speaking, he paused and said: "These Japanese people don't want to establish diplomatic relations with our Ming Dynasty, but when your majesty wanted to establish diplomatic relations with them, why did they kill our envoys from the Ming Dynasty? And they are not orthodox of the Japanese country, so your majesty did it They were chasing them. Also, they had nothing to do to provoke the prince-in-law, but they also caused the prince-son to sneer at their Japanese country, which made His Majesty even more angry..."

At this point, Li Shanchang suddenly stopped talking.

Li Qi felt a little strange when he saw this. After waiting for a while, looking at his father's face, he seemed to have thought of something, so he was a little curious and asked: "Dad, what are you thinking about?"

Li Shanchang ignored him, probably continuing to think about his own affairs.

Seeing this, Li Qi felt angry: Well, then think about it yourself!
Anyway, after listening to his father's wishes, he still didn't see the Japanese envoy, so he was ready to run away, and he didn't see the Japanese envoy either.

As a result, as soon as he left, he heard voices coming from behind. It was Li Shanchang who stopped him and told him: "Go, you and your cousin go and talk and ask him to bring a message to Hu Weiyong. What you say... "

Li Qi was confused. After listening, he said unhappily: "Dad, what are you doing? Let that kid behave in front of His Majesty again? Isn't he valued enough by Your Majesty?"

After hearing this, Li Shanchang's face darkened and he said, "What do you know? Just do it like this. You can reveal that I said that and then you heard it."

Li Qi: "..."

He really didn't understand what his father wanted to do?Although on the surface it seemed that his father was helping that kid, but hearing his tone and looking at his expression, it seemed to be a way to deal with that kid.

This dad has too many twists and turns in his belly. Anyway, I can’t figure it out. Forget it, I don’t want to think about it anymore, just do what dad wants!

........................

During the Spring Festival, it is the time to visit relatives and pay New Year greetings.

Hu Weiyong watched his niece-in-law Li You, who had come to pay New Year greetings, leave the backyard lobby. He sat still, still thinking about what Li You had just said to him.

If these words were said by others, he wouldn't care at all.But after hearing Li You say that this was what Li Shanchang meant, Hu Weiyong naturally thought about it carefully.

Japanese, Goryeo, Mongolian and Yuan, Tusi...

Master, what does this mean?
Hu Weiyong frowned and thought, one thing he was sure of.Li Shanchang is very narrow-minded and will retaliate for his anger.The prince-in-law had humiliated the Li family so much, so there was no reason for him to support him like this. He must have some bad intentions.

This means that it is impossible for Li Shanchang to see the consort.In this case, it is obvious that there is a dirty trick in his proposal.

What kind of dirty trick could that be?

Hu Weiyong was thinking about it, and he didn't know how long it had passed before he suddenly slammed the table in excitement and shouted loudly: "Good guy, this is a good move. If you don't do it well, you can kill that kid from Liujiacun. It's really beautiful. plan!"

"Dad, who are you going to kill?" Hu Weiyong's son Hu Shiji happened to hear it. He was about to go out, so he turned back and asked curiously, "The boy from Liujiacun, that consort?"

When Hu Weiyong heard this, his face darkened and he shouted: "It's none of your business, don't ask any more questions!"

Hu Shiji heard this, but said with a playful smile: "I knew that father is the most powerful, and those who are officials are flattering father, isn't it just married to a woman..."

"Get out!" Hu Weiyong got angry and shouted, "Shut your mouth. If you dare to talk nonsense, do you believe that I will beat you to death?"

This son is really not as worry-free as those hozens!When Hu Shiji heard this, he curled his lips, listened to his father's words, and ran out of the inner courtyard.

Hu Weiyong saw that his son was about to go out again, but at this moment, he didn't bother to care about it, and hurried to the study, he was going to sort out the memorial.

........................

At the Prince Consort's Mansion, Zhang Yifan took Zhu Jingjing out to pay New Year's greetings to relatives.

The father-in-law in the palace went there on the second day of the Lunar New Year.On the third day of the Lunar New Year, the eldest brother is the Prince of the East Palace.Next, there is the second brother Qin’s palace, the third brother Jin’s palace, the fourth brother Yan’s palace...

This father-in-law is really capable of giving birth. It's a good thing that he is not an ordinary citizen, otherwise he wouldn't be able to prepare so many New Year's gift packages.

Because Zhu Jingjing was already six months pregnant, Zhang Yifan did not ride a horse and accompanied Zhu Jingjing in a carriage.

In the past few years, we have been in Xiangshan County. This year is the first time to pay New Year greetings, so it would be better to be more formal.

Zhang Yifan and Zhu Jingjing were talking in the carriage. Suddenly, the carriage stopped, and then Zhu Wu, who was guarding outside, shouted loudly: "Get out of the way..."

The movement was a bit loud. Although the carriage Zhang Yifan was sitting on stopped, he still heard the sound of the carriage speeding and the screams of passers-by.

Zhang Yifan suddenly became a little anxious. His wife was pregnant and couldn't bear the fright, so he immediately got out of the carriage to see the situation.

I saw Zhu Wu and several other guards had stopped in front of the carriage and were shouting loudly.

Opposite them, several carriages were seen galloping towards them at very fast speeds.

At this time, it was still the time when people in the capital went out to pay New Year greetings, and there were many pedestrians on the road.

The speed of those carriages was very fast, and they couldn't see the driver's intention to slow down. The passers-by were so frightened that they ran away in embarrassment.

However, from the window of the carriage, someone could be seen peeking out and laughing.

Zhang Yifan looked at the posture of those carriages. Although it seemed that they would pass by his own carriage, if they were not careful, they would most likely crash.

In such a short period of time, he couldn't tell who was sitting in the car opposite!

However, no matter who it is, he is the consort, and there is a princess in the car. Even if it is a prince's carriage, he must stop to salute each other, not to mention that in Zhang Yifan's view, he has been threatened.On the official road of the capital, there is no rush for eight hundred miles, so how can you drive like this!

So, without even thinking about it, Zhang Yifan immediately shouted loudly: "Why are you standing there in a daze? Shoot the leading horse!"

When Zhu Wu heard this, he immediately drew his arrow and nocked his bow. Almost instantly, he shot out an arrow. He was indeed King Yan's guard and a fierce soldier in the army.

It was too late, but it was too late. Zhu Wu's arrow was like lightning, nailing the leading horse's neck in the blink of an eye.

Immediately, people overturned their horses, no, it was horses overturned, the driver of the carriage flew out, and the people in the carriage rolled out; several Mercedes-Benz carriages all overturned and piled into a pile.

This is a tragic car accident!
However, the shocked pedestrians on the side of the road showed expressions of gloating when they saw it.There were even some people who secretly spit on the ground and cursed "serve it".

The carriages at this time were obviously not as fast as cars in later generations, otherwise, the consequences would have been very serious.

But even so, the coachman who could be seen driving the car couldn't get up and lay on the ground groaning.The person who rolled out of the carriage limped to his feet.

No matter who they were, they could see blood stains on them.Fortunately, this is the coldest day of the year, so we all wear thick clothes, otherwise, it would probably be even worse.

In the distance, a team of patrolling soldiers came out from nowhere, and immediately rushed to help the injured people.

There was a young man, covering the blood on his head with his hands, and shouted at Zhang Yifan, "Who the hell is it? He almost killed me, do you know who I am?"

A military officer came to Zhang Yifan's side and asked, "Which family are you? Don't you know that the person in front of you is the prime minister's son?"

When going out to pay New Year greetings during the Spring Festival, it is naturally impossible to wear official uniforms, so the officer did not recognize him at first sight.But he knew that among those who drove express trains in the capital, there must be the son of the prime minister.

Without Zhang Yifan speaking, Zhu Wu had already shouted: "How dare you be rude in front of the Prince Consort, Marquis Rong Guo, and Princess Lin'an?"

Upon hearing this, the officer immediately knew something was wrong and immediately knelt down.

Today, there are two consorts in the Ming Dynasty, but since they are both consorts and marquises, there is only one, let alone the one with Princess Lin'an.

Hu Weiyong's son Hu Shiji also heard it. If it was normal, he would not mess with the princess.However, he felt like it almost killed him just now. When had he ever suffered such a loss?

It's not that I haven't met dignitaries before when I played with the speeding carriage, but after I knew it was him, I didn't dare to argue with him.

But this consort almost killed him!
He immediately remembered the few words he heard before going out, and said fiercely: "Damn it, my father can't kill you, just wait and see!"

Zhang Yifan was already angry, but when he heard this, he turned coldly and shouted at the officer: "Take them all to Yingtianfu Yamen, report them truthfully, and tell them there, I want a result!"

After hearing this, the officer turned to look at the prime minister's son, turned around and shouted back: "Yes!"

Although he is the prime minister's son, but opposite him is the son-in-law, plus the title of Marquis, and the princess. It is clear at a glance which side is light and which side is heavy.

And he heard that the prince-in-law must punish the prime minister's son, and his father probably couldn't protect him.He is a small person, and he has no choice when things like this happen.

Zhang Yifan's eyes were a little cold. He heard some meaning from what Hu Weiyong's son just said.

He quarreled with Hu Weiyong more than once, and the relationship must not be good.And Hu Weiyong is not a good bird. According to the original historical development, he will be dealt with by his father-in-law this month, and he will be involved in a Hu Weiyong case, which will profoundly affect the entire Hongwu Dynasty.

But maybe because of my own butterfly effect, this has not happened yet.

Hu Weiyong seems to be thinking of dealing with himself, and now he wants to punish his son. In this case, he might as well push the wheels of history and crush this man named Hu to prevent him from becoming a monster.

Having made up his mind, Zhang Yifan ordered Zhu Wudao: "Go to the East Palace first!"

Hu Weiyong was afraid that he had never imagined that he wanted Zhang Yifan to fall into the trap of Yingtian Mansion Yin and let Zhang Yifan go against the dignitaries of the capital, but Zhang Yifan did not step into this trap.But when he got stuck to the edge of the pit, the first one to deal with was not others, but himself.

In the East Palace, it was still the Spring Festival, and Zhu Biao was also resting.I heard that Zhang Yifan and Zhu Jingjing went there, and I was very curious, why are they here again?
As a result, after hearing what Zhang Yifan said about the situation, he immediately became angry and said to Zhang Yifan: "This is simply lawless. Who gave him the courage to act so wantonly under the emperor's feet?"

Having said this, he comforted Zhang Yifan and said, "Don't worry, it's been more than a day or two since my father disliked Hu Weiyong. If my father knows about this, he will definitely be very angry!"

There are very few people who help managers but not relatives, not to mention that the truth is still on Zhang Yifan's side.

Lao Zhu's family is definitely very famous for protecting their shortcomings.Not only Zhu Yuanzhang, but also Zhu Biao.In history, the King of Qin acted recklessly, and Zhu Biao also interceded for him.

This time, reason and family affection were all on Zhang Yifan's side, and Zhu Biao had no reason not to help, so he took Zhang Yifan into the palace to find his father.

Shouting to kill Zhang Yifan, let’s see who kills whom!

Although Zhang Yifan's time travel did affect many things and changed many historical events.However, there are some things that he cannot change.

For example, some people's personality, way of doing things, etc., cannot be influenced casually.This is especially true for Zhang Yifan who doesn't care and doesn't deliberately influence people.

Hu Weiyong is naturally the same.
