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

Chapter 99: Spewing blood (third update)
As for Zhang Yifan, he was certainly surprised to hear the news.

The Prince Consort and the Commander-in-Chief actually had the same status as the Duke.Classmate Lao Zhu is really kind to relatives!
Zhu Wu and the others were naturally also booing happily, and they booed together with the guards sent by Zhu Di to report the news, asking for money.

In the end, Zhang Yifan followed the custom of later generations and not only gave them red envelopes, but also took them to a restaurant to treat them to a big meal.

As for Zhu Wu, the two guards assigned to him by Zhu Di, Zhang Yifan actually had his mind set on keeping them as his guards.

Not only because Zhu Wu and Zhu Wu got along well with him, but also because they were both men in the army, elites who fought hard to protect the vassal king.

He went to ask Zhu Di for it. Even if he was a hired worker, it would probably be fine.However, in addition, in the future, his wealth and life will depend on the protection of Zhu Wu and others, and he will also need to win over emotionally.

Dan Niu and Er Niu were also eating together.One is as thin as a monkey, but has a better brain; the other is as strong as an ox, but has a missing brain.

These two people still lack experience.Their father begged Zhang Yifan to train him, so he took him with him.

Kiss or not, people from my hometown can rest assured!
This kind of treat must not be too shabby.As for the money, Zhu Jingjing still gave him a lot. When the cement starts to be sold later, he won't have to worry about running out of money.

Therefore, Zhang Yifan found a restaurant called Taibai Restaurant on the main street.Just because Zhu Wu said that His Highness King Yan had brought them here once before, and they still had fresh memories of the Taibai wine here.

It was still early before the crowded time at noon, so Zhang Yifan asked for a secluded private room, and a group of five people ordered wine and food and started eating and drinking.

This Taibaijiu is not white wine.In ancient times, liquor was a low-grade liquor, commonly known as Qionerle.That is to say, people who have no money can get drunk even if they drink less in order to satisfy their greed.

Taibaijiu is actually rice wine. Even though it’s May, you can still drink it after heating it in a wine pot in the stove.

As soon as he drank this rice wine, Zhang Yifan couldn't help but miss the wine of later generations.There is no other reason than that I am used to drinking beer.

This beer, when I first drank it, tasted really bad. It was said that it tasted like horse urine.But once I get used to drinking it, I like the taste again.

It's a bit similar to durian. It smells bad and I like to eat it. It's so fragrant!
Seeing Da Niu and Er Niu engrossed in eating, Zhang Yifan smiled and said to Zhu Wu: "When we get back, I will set up a winery in another courtyard and put in various types of wine. You guys can try it later and see which wine is better." What suits your taste best?”

Upon hearing this, Zhu Wu was obviously stunned for a moment. When he came to his senses, he suddenly became enthusiastic and responded to him enthusiastically.

Zhang Yifan knew as soon as he saw it that Zhu Wu might have understood what he meant from these words and wanted to pull him over.Obviously, Zhu Wu was a little tempted, otherwise he wouldn't have responded so enthusiastically.

Zhang Yifan was familiar with them and could guess a thing or two about the reason.

There are a lot of men like Zhu Wu on Zhu Di's side, but he is not considered top-notch.

And if Zhu Wu comes to Zhang Yifan's side, then Zhu Wu will definitely be the backbone and leader.

The difference between the two is that although following the King of Yan is more noble, following the Prince Consort is not!
At this time, although this relationship has not been revealed, both parties have almost understood it.Under the influence of Lang Qing and Concubine, the atmosphere was very good.

Before I knew it, I had almost finished drinking. The food on the table was served twice, and most of it went into the stomachs of the two cows.

So, full of wine and food, I was ready to leave.

As a result, as luck would have it, as soon as I walked out of the private room, I heard shouts and curses coming from the private room next to me: "Why the hell, I used real swords and guns, bleeding and fighting, and as a result, a country boy died... With just one poem, you can take advantage of me?"

"What? Say it again? I have to kowtow to the captain-in-law after meeting him?"

"I heard that His Majesty is planning to issue an order to let King Yan and the Prince Consort lead the troops to wipe out the Japanese pirates?"

"It's just two of them who are still young, how many days of training can they fight? This is ridiculous!"

"..."

Several voices were speaking in a straight voice, and it could be heard that they were obviously drunk.

Zhu Wu and others were also drunk, and they were very drunk. They were usually under the command of King Yan and were not afraid of anyone. At this time, they felt that they were about to obey Zhang Yifan's command.When I heard that someone was disrespectful to Zhang Yifan, I naturally wanted to show something.

No, the two guards glanced at Zhang Yifan, then kicked open the door of the private room. As they rushed in, they shouted sternly: "Who is talking nonsense and dares to have an objection to His Majesty's decree?"

Zhang Yifan wanted to stop him, but he didn't have time, so he had no choice but to follow him in.

When he entered, he was a little surprised.I saw a Japanese sitting at the banquet inside.

After all, hair accessories are very special and instantly recognizable.

The others were from the Ming Dynasty, but they were dressed in casual clothes, but each of them was tall and powerful.Just by looking at them, one can tell that these people are probably from the military.At this time, these people were stunned for a moment when Zhu Wu drank.

It has to be said that if Zhu Wu and others can work in Prince Yan's Mansion, they will not be reckless people.As soon as I entered, I just slapped a hat on, the kind of big thief.

No, these people were yelling vigorously just now, but all of a sudden they lost their voices.

However, they soon recovered. One of them, who looked like he was in his 20s, stood up and shouted in a loud voice: "Don't spit on anyone, we are all in the military, what's the problem with discussing military affairs?"

After saying these words, he seemed to have calmed down, and then said loudly: "Your Majesty wants His Royal Highness King Yan and the Prince Consort to suppress the Japanese pirates. I think it is inappropriate because it will easily lead to the loss of troops and generals. What's wrong? I will also submit a letter , this is also the saying!”

"That's right, His Highness King Yan is only training troops in Zhongdu and has no battlefield experience; and the Prince Consort is a scholar who writes lyrics. Who can obey them when they lead troops?" Another person also agreed.

Although each of them was blushing from drinking, they were not drunk enough to act recklessly, and they obviously spoke in a measured manner.

It was obviously because the Prince Consort's status was too much higher than theirs, and everyone was unconvinced. However, after Zhang Yifan and others entered, they insisted that they were talking about this issue from a military perspective.

In this way, even if the trouble comes to the imperial court, they probably won't do anything to them.

Zhang Yifan listened and ignored the question. Instead, he pointed at the Japanese and asked, "Who is he? They all drink together and discuss government affairs. Are you a Japanese traitor?"

What I haven’t mentioned yet, if I want to point out the blame, Li Shanchang and the others know how to do it, and so can Zhang Yifan.

When the person who spoke at the beginning heard this, he immediately slammed the table and shouted: "Don't spit on anyone, this is the envoy of the Japanese Kingdom. He has been waiting in the capital to be summoned by His Majesty. We just happened to bump into him today!"

Hearing this, Zhang Yifan remembered.The Southern Dynasty of Japan did send envoys to the Ming Dynasty, but Zhu Yuanzhang knew that the Southern Dynasty was actually a puppet king, so he refused to receive them, not wanting to establish relations with the Southern Dynasty.

After that, the Japanese envoys kept wandering around Nanjing, making friends with the civil servants and military generals of the Ming Dynasty.

In the future, when Zhu Yuanzhang killed people, one of the crimes that included nobles and civil servants was colluding with Japanese pirates. It may also have something to do with the association with the Japanese envoy.

When he was thinking about this, the man had already started to ask, "Who are you guys who spout blood without asking indiscriminately? If you don't make it clear, don't think of this door today!"

As soon as he finished speaking, several strong men at the banquet immediately stood up and surrounded him to block the door.

When Zhu Wu saw it, he immediately took a step sideways and stood in front of Zhang Yifan, and then shouted in a cold voice: "I am from Prince Yan's Mansion. You are so bold. What do you want to do?"

As he spoke, he took out his badge from his pocket and flashed it.

There are many people on the opposite side, and they can be beaten at a glance.Zhu Wu understood that a hero would immediately reveal his identity if he didn't suffer immediate losses.

As for Zhang Yifan, if he is willing to reveal his identity, of course he will; if he is not willing to reveal his identity, the sign of Prince Yan's Mansion is enough.

Sure enough, as soon as his identity as Prince Yan's Mansion was revealed, the men who wanted to block the door immediately stopped and turned to look at the strong man at the head.

"It turns out they are from Prince Yan's Mansion!" The man was not afraid and said with a slap on his chest, "You can go back and report to His Highness Prince Yan, just say that we don't accept his leadership of the army. Especially the Prince Consort who only knows how to write lyrics. I am even more dissatisfied when I am the deputy. Military and state affairs are nothing like child's play. We will report it!"

While talking, he glanced at Zhang Yifan.Obviously, he knew Zhang Yifan's identity, and he must be more noble than the man from Yan Palace who spoke.At least important people will be guarded behind them.

However, although he had never met King Yan, he had met the prince and others. From a brother's perspective, he could not see that Zhang Yifan looked like Zhu Yuanzhang's son.

No matter who it is, if he confesses this, he will not be afraid of being snitched.

After Zhang Yifan listened, he could actually understand.After all, Zhu Di was only 16 years old at this time and had just married a daughter-in-law.There is no prestige among the military, especially among the founding generals.

And he was only 16 years old, and there were rumors in the market that he became the Prince Consort because he wrote the poem well.

It is impossible for these two absolute idiots to convince these founding generals!
If the original historical development was followed, Zhu Di would not become the commander-in-chief of one party and go to the Northern Yuan Dynasty until he was 30 years old.

Now, because of the butterfly effect, I have reached 16 years earlier.Although we are only dealing with Japanese pirates, it is indeed a bit difficult to convince the public.

With these thoughts in mind, Zhang Yifan asked: "Who are you? Do you dare to tell me your name?"

The strong man was a little hesitant when he heard this, but when he saw Zhang Yifan looking at him with a look that seemed a little contemptuous, he immediately stopped caring.
