Prodigal Son of the Ming Dynasty

  Chapter 1064 Reward

   It is rare for His Majesty to be so polite, which moved Fang Jifan very much and wanted to say something.

   But it seemed that Emperor Hongzhi was unwilling to give Fang Jifan a chance to express his inner joy. Emperor Hongzhi said: "Show it to Fang Jifan and Tang Qing's family."

  Xiao Jing took Qi Jingtong's memorial and sent it to Fang Jifan.

  Fang Jifan only glanced at it briefly, and he understood why Fang bumped into the Japanese envoy.

  Fang Jifan coughed and said, "Your Majesty...are you planning to suppress the Japanese again?"

  Emperor Hongzhi thought for a while: "Tang Qing's family once suppressed the Japanese and made great achievements. I just want to ask about it."

  Tang Yin had already read the memorial, and was about to speak.

  Who knew that Fang Jifan rushed to answer: "Your Majesty, you don't need to ask Tang Yin about this, he is Erchen's student, and this three-legged cat kung fu was taught by Erchen."

  Emperor Hongzhi glared at Fang Jifan.

Fang Jifan said sincerely: "The so-called shooting people first shoots horses, and capturing thieves first captures the king. Instead of getting angry with those Japanese pirates in twos and threes, it is better to solve the problem of Japanese pirates once and for all. Directly order the Ningbo Navy to go to the Japanese country and deal with the Japanese pirates." Initiate a warning, if the Japanese country ignores it, the country will inevitably be flattened, so there will be no more Japanese troubles."

Fang Jifan said with a smile: "Your Majesty, raising soldiers for a thousand days and using them for a short period of time, the imperial court has raised sailors for so long, so there is no reason to let them eat dry food. Don't worry, your majesty, although Qi Jingtong, my disciple, is a big boss, even my son's disciple It's not as good as that, but as long as His Majesty makes a will, he will definitely break through the Wa Kingdom and vent his anger on His Majesty."

   Qi Jingtong is not as good as his own grandson. In Fang Jifan's view, he is a certainty. After all, isn't Qi Jiguang, who was born not long ago, also his own grandson? It's not about hanging up his father.

   Tang Yin was beside him, his face flushed, and he wanted to say something, but he hesitated.

  Fang Jifan glared at him, thinking that Tang Yin wanted to deceive his master and exterminate his ancestors, so he couldn't help saying viciously: "Tang Yin, what do you have to say."

   "This... this... mentor, wrong..."

  Fang Jifan’s face turned down. He hated two kinds of people the most in his life. One was people like Zhu Houzhao who cheated him of his money, and the other was people who were against him. They couldn’t beat you to death!

   "Where is the mistake?" Fang Jifan asked kindly in front of outsiders with a smile like a spring breeze.

  Tang Yindao: "The Ningbo navy has not spent any money and food from the imperial court so far. They are used to raise soldiers, they are all fished out of the sea, so...the navy supports the imperial court."

  Fang Jifan: "..."

  Emperor Hongzhi frowned after hearing Fang Jifan's words: "Is this... an overreaction?"

  Liu Jian and others were beside them, but they couldn't help being speechless.

   Too cruel!

Liu Jian coughed: "Isn't it too much to mobilize the teachers? Besides, if the navy is unfavorable, it will be difficult for the imperial court to ride a tiger. The old man sees, let's take it slowly. Although the Japanese country is poor and weak, it is not fuel-efficient. What's more, the Japanese kingdom and my Ming Dynasty face each other across the sea, just because of sporadic Japanese pirates, they will be aggressively conquered, isn't it..."

   This is the words of Lao Cheng seeking the country.

  Actually, even Tang Yin felt that his mentor was a bit too much.

  Fang Jifan was delighted: "If this is the case, the problem of Japanese pirates may never be solved. No matter how much Ming Dynasty suppresses Japanese pirates, one group will be suppressed, and another group will come again... It will be too disturbing."

  Emperor Hongzhi and Liu Jian looked at each other.

  A terrible thought flashed across their hearts.

  How about...beating the Wa country for a try?

  Although Fang Jifan's plan is radical, it is indeed a permanent solution.

  After this idea passed through the minds of Emperor Hongzhi and Liu Jian, even they themselves felt that they were a little bold. After getting along with Fang Jifan, they had the tendency to learn badly under the influence of their ears and eyes.

  But immediately after that, thinking of the countless money and food for the expedition, the next countries wait and see, only in the name of the mere Japanese pirates, and the teacher came out of no name. There were also various other cumbersome questions, but they regained their sanity.

  Emperor Hongzhi said sternly: "Tomorrow, I will send a decree to the Japanese envoy to severely reprimand him for his mistakes."

  Emperor Hongzhi seemed to want to expand the situation.

  Fang Jifan and Tang Yin exchanged glances, Tang Yin was a little speechless, benefactor... this is going to lead His Majesty into a ditch.

  First of all, there is an admonition. If the Wa Kingdom does not respond, it is bound to be a more severe admonition, but what if the Wa Kingdom remains the same?

But that's fine too, Tang Yin was sure, he was too aware of those **** of the Ningbo Navy, they really reached the point of conscripting Japanese, how many people screamed, their blood spurted with excitement, even if they were all stuffed into the coffin, the coffin board I'm afraid I can't hold it down.

  Liu Jian solemnly said: "The veteran obeys the order."

  Emperor Hongzhi took a sip of tea, and his face softened a bit: "If... if we take 10,000 steps back, if the Japanese kingdom remains the same, and offends our great Ming power, and Ming is really on the point of conquest, can the navy be used?"

   This question is for Tang Yin.

   Tang Yin said: "Your Majesty, it is available."

Emperor Hongzhi frowned: "But I heard that the Japanese are very brave and fierce. Even a group of wandering warriors who went to the sea have amazing fighting power. Otherwise, the southeast would not cause the Japanese to cause disaster for a hundred years. Victory, because what was suppressed was just a mere Japanese pirate... But this time, it was this big Japanese country, which is different, I... I am a little worried."

Tang Yindao: "Your Majesty doesn't know something. I built my own navy in Ming Dynasty and restarted my voyages to the west. Not only did I train a large number of sailors, but the number of ships increased day by day. The most important thing is that I let countless sailors and soldiers really see new things. Heaven and earth, Your Majesty, people in the sea and people on land are different."

  Emperor Hongzhi smiled: "Different?"

"Yes." Tang Yin said: "I don't know what to say. Your Majesty can only know the difficulties they face after seeing with their own eyes the dangerous environment they face after the sailors go out to sea. Such people can survive in this adversity. In my view, their bravery and ruthlessness are by no means inferior to the Japanese, and as for the Japanese warriors on Wa Island, even though they claim to be brave, they are even more insignificant."

   There is no way to explain it.

   Tang Yin couldn't laugh or cry.

He can't say that those screaming guys have been poor for eighteen lifetimes, but as long as they have any hope of getting rich, they all seem to be desperate and can do anything, with their heads pinned to their belts. Can't hold it down.

This is a temple, this is the Imperial Palace, how can you say such 'vulgar' words, but Tang Yin is relatively thin-skinned, he is always embarrassed, and he is crowned with words such as loyalty and bravery, serving the country and the people, after all... he is a person who wants face what.

   Tang Yin felt uncomfortable.

  Emperor Hongzhi still didn't understand what he heard, but he looked at Fang Jifan: "Jifan, you also have confidence?"

   "Your Majesty, Tang Yin said yes, so of course there is. My son was in charge of the affairs of the voyages..."

  Fang Jifan was halfway through speaking, and Emperor Hongzhi said: "Since that is the case, let Jifan take charge of this matter. Jifan will be the envoy to negotiate with the Japanese state, and Tang Yin will be the deputy."

  Emperor Hongzhi was very decisive. Since I don’t understand it, you two understand it very well, then… I will leave this matter to you. Anyway, I don’t want to see any more news about Japanese pirates.

Emperor Hongzhi said again: "One year... I will give you one year. If there are still Japanese pirates raging within one year, I will look for you. Of course... if Haibo is calmed down, and the people of Ming Dynasty will not be harmed by Japanese pirates again, then... I remember your great achievements."

"what…"

  Fang Jifan did not expect His Majesty to become like this.

  Why does this sound like a household contract?

  Fang Jifan felt a little embarrassed, hesitated, and said nothing.

  Emperor Hongzhi glared at him: "Why, what's your problem?"

Fang Jifan coughed: "Your Majesty, if the matter is not handled well, and your Majesty finds trouble with my son, I can understand it. But I don't quite understand it. If Hai Bo is calmed down, what does this great achievement... mean? Don't misunderstand, Your Majesty, my son. He is a person with high aspirations, and he doesn't think of any credit or rewards. It's just that... Tang Yin, Erchen's protégé, may be relatively vulgar, and it's hard to have such sentiments as Erchen. He treats him like his own son, therefore, I want to ask, how to reward this merit... "

  Tang Yin: "..."

  This time... I really learned to be smart.

  Since Fang Jifan was given another three million gold last time, Fang Jifan has seen through it, and it would be more enjoyable to spread the word out, otherwise he would always reward several million gold, which would be too heartbreaking.

   This is simply an insult to IQ, rubbing one's personality on the ground.

  Emperor Hongzhi's face changed slightly.

"Will I treat you badly when it comes to rewards for meritorious deeds?" Emperor Hongzhi was furious: "You treat Tang Yin as your own son, and I treat you as a son. Tang Yin is my own grandson. , I will treat my descendants... so lightly? What are you talking about?"

  Tang Yin: "..."

  Liu Jian coughed: "This, this, your majesty calm down."

Emperor Hongzhi's lingering anger still persisted: "I... I will definitely reward you a lot. It is a great achievement to solve the Japanese problem within one year. When have I ever treated you badly, especially you... You are my son-in-law. Isn't that enough reward?"

  Fang Jifan didn't expect...to stab a hornet's nest, and didn't know what to say for a while, so he kept winking at Tang Yin, which meant that His Majesty was furious, so he didn't hurry up, and blocked the knife for his teacher.

  Tang Yin: "..."

  Emperor Hongzhi said angrily: "It's really unreasonable. Why, you dare not speak anymore? And...Tang Qing's family, your mentor and these bastards, you think the same way?"

  Tang Yin: "..."

  Emperor Hongzhi said: "I let you speak!"

   "Yes! That's what I think. I'm a vulgar person. As my teacher said, I'm greedy for fame and fortune. I hope His Majesty will reward my teacher and my humble minister. I really deserve death!" Tang Yin's eyes turned red.

  He has to carry this pot.

   "..."

  The atmosphere in Fengtian Temple became extremely awkward.

  Emperor Hongzhi gave Tang Yin a weird look, then suddenly lost his temper, and let out a sigh of relief: "Oh, I see."
