Prodigal Son of the Ming Dynasty

  Chapter 1067 The royal driver has arrived

  Xiao Jing was about to cry.

   Did you blame yourself?

  He didn't know how to answer for a moment.

   It seems that everything is wrong.

  He naturally knew that His Majesty was obviously angry, but Fang Jifan was his son-in-law, and Fang Jifan accepted the gift, wouldn't it be embarrassing to the royal family? But to deal with Fang Jifan...it's unreasonable.

   As a result, this anger was directed at his own head.

  Xiao Jing had no choice but to say: "Your servant will die forever."

  Emperor Hongzhi said: "Fang Jifan, recently, what kind of strategy has he formulated to suppress Japanese pirates?"

   "No... no... no no no, I don't know."

  Emperor Hongzhi said: "Is there no or I don't know?"

   "No!" Xiao Jing said honestly: "For the past two days, Fang Jifan has been very leisurely. He told people that within a month, the plague of Japanese pirates will be eradicated forever."

  Emperor Hongzhi: "..."

"He has such a big tone." Emperor Hongzhi shook his head helplessly: "I would like to know why he is so bold. Also, I heard some rumors that... the emperor's grandson... is riding a horse recently. Huh?"

"this…"

"Say!"

   "Reporting to Your Majesty, the emperor's grandson is learning how to ride a horse."

  Emperor Hongzhi couldn't help but twitch his eyebrows. The emperor's grandson is already eight or nine years old.

   Watching him grow up gradually, Emperor Hongzhi felt warm in his heart.

   But the education in the nursery school is really a bit 'cruel'. He is still a child. He rides a horse at a young age. What if he falls and hurts?

  Xiao Jing looked at Emperor Hongzhi cautiously, without saying a word.

  Emperor Hongzhi suddenly said: "I have nothing to do tomorrow, I want to go to Xishan!"

  Xiao Jingdao: "Xishan?"

   "Go and see the emperor's grandson. If we don't see each other, I feel uneasy. I don't need to inform Fang Jifan of this matter in advance, lest this guy..."

  Emperor Hongzhi didn't continue with what he said later, it was to give Fang Jifan a little face.

  Xiao Jing hurriedly said: "Observe the order."

  Emperor Hongzhi sighed, the Japanese plague in the southeast, it seems... I have to solve it myself, but how to solve it, he stared at the memorial, dazed.

  ...

In Honglu Temple, a strange Japanese was escorted here. The Shaoqing of Honglu Temple personally verified his identity. After confirming that the other party was a retainer of the Japanese shogunate, there was no difficulty. He arranged for this person to go and talk to Ouchi Meet.

  Ouchi Yoshiyan's method is effective.

  On the one hand, he blatantly publicized his extraordinary relationship with Fang Jifan, and now everyone knows it.

  At the same time, he certainly wants to vigorously promote the difference between the Japanese kingdom and the Japanese pirates.

   Even included it, walked around, gave gifts, invited some ministers in the court, and defended him.

   I have to say, the effect is not bad.

   At least the DPRK and China did not seem to respond afterwards.

  Fang Jifan, who was ordered to wipe out the Japanese pirates, didn't seem to make any connection between the Japanese pirates and the Japanese country because of this.

Ouchi Yoshino consciously passed through a terrible crisis by himself. At this time, it was getting late. In his study room, he took out a pen and paper, picked up a pen to revise the book, and reported what happened here to his own. Clan brother Ouchi Yoshiko reported that although the crisis has been lifted temporarily, the Japanese pirate incident has once again aroused the vigilance of the Ming court. Therefore, the maritime trade in Zhoufang City must be cautious in the future.

  Thinking of Zhou Fangcheng, Yoshino Ouchi felt warm in his heart.

Beijing City is a good place, but Zhoufang City is the birthplace of the Ouchi Clan, and it is his hometown. It faces North Korea across the sea, and it is an important town for foreign trade of the Wa Kingdom. The Ouchi Clan relied on Zhou Fang to become a Protected by the six kingdoms, the shogunate governs.

  There, it is a good place, built by the sea, countless merchant ships from North Korea and Japan, and smuggling ships from Ming Dynasty also appear here and there.

  Porcelain, silk, tea from the Ming Dynasty, Jeju horses, ginseng, leather goods from the North Korean country... There are even strange goods shipped from the distant West.

  Yoshiyan Ouchi remembers that since he was a child, he liked to stand on the tall buildings of the temple and look at the seaside.

   Now, under my own suggestion, the clan brothers have started to imitate the new policies of Ming Dynasty, and started building houses in the Zhoufang area...

  Also...Zhou Fang has built a school for new learning, translated a large number of new learning books by himself, and sent them there.

  One day, Zhoufang City will definitely become the largest city in Japan, and the wealth it gathers will also make it shine...

  Ouchi Yoshino smiled.

  He continued to work on the book, and his superiors told his clan brothers not to have close contact with smuggling ships for the time being.

  The so-called smuggling ships of the Ming Dynasty were, in essence, Japanese pirates.

They plundered wantonly along the southeast coast, plundering the wealth and women of the Ming Kingdom, and then countless Japanese pirate leaders bought properties in Zhoufang. They were the guests of the senior officials of the shogunate and the friends of the daimyo and guardians, but when they arrived in Daming, they were ferocious bandits and became butchers on the ocean.

  After completing a book, there are attendants rushing outside...

  Then...the Japanese Hirai Koki hurried in, and when he saw Ouchi Yoshihito, Hirai Hongyi immediately burst into tears: "Your Excellency."

  Ouchi Yoshino was taken aback. Although it is a great pleasure to meet an old friend in a foreign land, but...he immediately noticed something unusual: "Why are you here?"

   "Your Excellency, I have been ordered by the leader to report an urgent matter. The country of Wa...is under attack!"

  Ouchi Yoshihito was stunned: "Who is the enemy?"

   "Ming people."

  Ouchi Yoshihito's eyes were fluctuating, he couldn't believe it at all, there was no news from Daming that Ming people went to attack the Wa country.

  He calmed down: "I think...it must be some thieves, it's harmless."

   "No." Hirai Hongyi burst into tears: "They attacked dozens of areas, and also attacked Zhoufang..."

   "What..." Yoshino Ouchi was shocked: "What was the result?"

"Wherever they passed, they burned, killed, looted, and no one could stop them. They had firearms and artillery, and they were all fearless of death. There were more than a thousand people, and they came and went without a trace. After the attack, after breaking the city, they looted, set fire to everything, and then... they boarded the ship and disappeared. Our fleet encountered them before, but their ships were extremely sharp. Water battles are even more unparalleled in the world, our fleet...destroyed...Zhoufang City has been looted and moved to the ground, and you...your wife and children...they are unfortunately...unfortunately killed!"

  Ouchi Yoshino took two steps back, his face was pale, he let out a howl, and beat the books on the shelf with disheveled hair.

   "Who are they, who are they..."

"It's the Ming people, the Ming people's fleet, and the whole country is panicked. The gold and silver they plundered are countless, and the people who were killed because of this are even more countless. They are extremely ferocious, even At one time, they attacked near the capital, and the terrible thing was that their fighting power was astonishing. Now Zhou Fang has been burned, and the lord has been severely injured. He wants to gather soldiers from the six countries to find these thieves for a decisive battle, but he can only sigh, especially Zhou Fang, where...there... "

  Hiroi Hirai's tears wet the front of his clothes.

You are the window of the entire Japanese sea trade. Countless wealthy businessmen have bought property there, hiding an unknown amount of gold, silver and jewelry, and the wealth of the Ouchi family has also been looted. What's more frightening is that these bastards, they If you rob, you rob, and when you finish robbing, you like to set fire.

  Ouchi Yoshino only felt that he was going to pass out.

  The hometown is gone, the Ouchi family has been hit hard, and all the wealth is gone. My own wife and children... my own wife and children...

  He couldn't help spitting out a mouthful of blood: "Bastard, bastard, shameless bastard!"

   "My lord, I hope that you, as a national envoy, will immediately negotiate with Ming. Ming and our country have always been in harmony. Why are swords suddenly drawn and swords drawn..."

  Yoshino Ouchi looked angry, and he said angrily: "I know, I already know!" Yoshino Ouchi's eyes were red: "Now...where are these fleets?"

   "I don't know." Hirai Hongyi smiled wryly: "No one knows where they will attack in the next moment! The coastline of the middle school stretches for thousands of miles. Anywhere within this thousand miles may be the target of their attack..."

  Ouchi Yoshino's face was pale, and he fell to the ground, looking extremely embarrassed.

Thousands of miles of coast, if the navy is inferior to humans, then the entire ocean will be controlled by these enlightened people. The speed of the ships is extremely fast. They can bring people, food, and weapons. Within a few days, they can appear anywhere One place, but this thousands of miles of coastline, even if all the Japanese were recruited to defend it, it would be impossible to defend against it.

   "I... I'm going to file a complaint, and I must negotiate solemnly. No... no, I'll go to find that Fang Jifan, maybe this is what Fang Jifan did."

  But... the night is getting late.

  Yoshino Ouchi was anxious all night.

The next morning, when it was dawn, he set off immediately. He didn't sleep all night, and his whole body was almost insane, with a haggard and painful look on his face... But the mission on his shoulders made him put away these useless emotions .

  ...

The emperor drove out of the palace and arrived at Xishan. Fang Jifan was hurriedly woken up. Her Royal Highness woke up early. Fang Jifan hugged the quilt and slept soundly. : "Young Master, Young Master, Your Majesty is coming... Your Majesty is coming."

  Fang Jifan only opened his eyes in a daze, and said, "Get out!"

  This time is different from the past. In the past, when you say get out, the world is immediately clean, but this time, a few people like wolves and tigers rushed in.

  Fang Jifan was startled, frightened the sleepy bug and disappeared without a trace, busy hugging the quilt, covering his sensitive parts, waiting to yell.

   It was Wang Jinyuan who rushed in desperately, because he knew that if he didn't wake up the young master quickly, according to the young master's temper, he would definitely say that he was not doing well and kill himself. If you rush in now, the ending may be much better: "Master, Your Majesty is here, the first person has already arrived, and your driver will be here in a moment!"
