Prodigal Son of the Ming Dynasty

  Chapter 288 Turning around

  The military officer was out of breath, with a tired look on his face.

In fact, he came here under the order of He Yan, and he used the fast horse of the express delivery shop. Commander He had already stated clearly that this good news must be delivered first. There the news came first.

  So the military officer didn't hesitate at all, and quickly handed over the report in his hand: "Great victory in Jinzhou, killing more than seven thousand Tatars..."

   All of a sudden, the military department was boiling.

  As if all of a sudden, many people breathed a sigh of relief.

  But the military officer stomped his feet anxiously, met with the right servant of the Ministry of War in person, and said in a low voice: "Li Shan and Wang Bao from Jinzhou also rushed to send the report here."

  The waiter froze, and immediately understood the deep meaning of these words, he glanced at the military officer indifferently and said: "You are in the capital, take a good rest, when the time comes, I will ask you for questions."

   After finishing speaking, without any further hesitation, she straightened her clothes and hurriedly left towards the palace.

  ...

  East Factory…

  After a while, he sent the memorial to the palace in a hurry.

  Xiao Jing hurriedly opened the memorial, raised his eyes immediately, and said with a shocked face: "Could it be that Wang Bao is taking credit for it?"

   This was Xiao Jing's first reaction.

   But immediately, he beamed with joy.

   It is unlikely that this is fake, otherwise this Wang Bao just doesn't want to live.

  As for the weight of this good news, he knows better than anyone else.

  His Majesty is worrying about this matter.

   Tens of thousands of people.

  The leader on the side said eagerly: "Godfather, Dongchang said this matter... don't wait, wait a minute, if others take the lead, all of this... it will be too late."

   "Yes, yes." Xiao Jing stroked his forehead, walked a few steps in the prison of rites, and then said: "We forgot, we forgot, go to Nuan Pavilion, hurry up."

  …

   It was Xie Qian who arrived at the Snapper first.

   Xie Qian came almost at a gallop, panting for breath.

  Today, His Majesty summoned the Great Scholars and Minister of the Ministry of War in the warm pavilion, besides Fang Jifan, but Xie Qian has many memorials and still needs to draw up a ticket. Unexpectedly, the Secretary of General Administration sent such news.

  At this time, in the warm pavilion, Emperor Hongzhi was looking at the map, and his gaze was fixed on Daning.

  The three guards of Duoyan are mainly entrenched near Daning. In fact, as long as you look at the map, you can understand why Duoyan Wei is such a snake and rat at both ends.

Once the Tatars took Jinzhou, Daning would be in an awkward position. They were unwilling to make enemies with the Tatars for the sake of Ming Dynasty, but at the same time they were afraid that the Tatars would take Jinzhou, which would make the ecological balance on the grassland completely. is broken.

   "Mistake, what a mistake." Emperor Hongzhi shook his head, still feeling regretful.

  Daming’s national policy towards the desert in the past few decades has indeed made huge mistakes. In order to avenge the Tumu Fort, he was blinded by hatred, which instead gave the Tatars a god-sent opportunity to unify the desert.

  He raised his eyes, rolled up the map, and sighed: "The Tatars have grown so strong, and from then on, the world will not be peaceful."

   "It's not impossible to deal with the Tatars." Fang Jifan thought for a while, and couldn't help but answer honestly.

   "Huh?" Emperor Hongzhi looked at Fang Jifan, a gleam flashed in his eyes.

  He found out that this kid always has an idea.

  Fang Jifan coughed, and then said: "This... is actually the idea of ​​the prince and the minister... together."

   "Oh." Emperor Hongzhi nodded, and then looked at Liu Jian, Ma Wensheng and the others. Although he didn't say anything, he couldn't help but think in his heart, Fang Jifan is indeed Zhongliang, and he still doesn't forget the prince at this time.

   "Tell me, I want to know what the prince and you are thinking."

Fang Jifan said conveniently: "Be loyal and good outside the pass, build settlements, step by step, and completely squeeze the living space of the Tatars. If there is one more Han outside the pass, the Tatars will have one less cattle and sheep. One will grow and the other will grow. There will be no Tatars in the world. "

  After listening to Fang Jifan's words, everyone's expressions became strange in unison.

  Emperor Hongzhi, Ma Wensheng, Liu Jian and others looked at each other, looking at each other a little bit.

  Emperor Hongzhi caressed the case and said, "You have nothing to do with your words."

Fang Jifan said: "The essence of the Tatar problem is that the Han people can't leave the customs. Why can't the Han people go out and settle down? It's because the cost is too high, and there is no food production outside the customs. If a large number of people gather, they must rely on food supplies inside the customs. For a long time, not only will it consume a lot of manpower and material resources, but the final result may not be ideal."

  Fang Jifan paused for a moment, then continued: "So if we want to solve the Tatars, we must first solve the problem of growing grain in the desert."

  Emperor Hongzhi pondered Fang Jifan's words silently in his heart, and nodded his head, feeling reasonable.

  Liu Jian and others also nodded.

   It really makes sense, and I feel very excited when I hear it.

  Of course, everyone is not mentally retarded. Although this is a perfect plan, the only fly in the ointment is how to grow food in the desert!

This is just like Fang Jifan's last life, a group of dead houses were all educators, and they kept saying that if they had a son, how would they educate them? A girlfriend, and then it is impossible for nerds to have a girlfriend for a lifetime.

  Emperor Hongzhi smiled slightly and said, "Can sweet potatoes be sown outside the customs?"

  Fang Jifan said: "There are some difficulties. Sweet potatoes are more suitable for the mountainous areas in the south, not to mention that it cannot be used as a staple food."

  Emperor Hongzhi was still looking forward to it just now, but at this moment he couldn't help showing a look of disappointment: "Since that's the case..."

   "Your Majesty, my subject... there is one..."

  Fang Jifan was halfway through speaking, but suddenly heard a voice from outside: "Your Majesty, Grand Scholar Xie Qian begs to see you."

   After the words fell, Xie Qian couldn't wait to enter the cabinet. He hurriedly bowed, but after this bow, he couldn't get up: "Your Majesty..."

   Xie Qian choked up and said: "Jinzhou... news..."

  Emperor Hongzhi was startled, and seeing Xie Qian choked up again, he subconsciously arose. His heart seemed to be hit by something suddenly, and he sank suddenly...Could it be...the city was broken...a hundred thousand soldiers and civilians...

  He felt a little dizzy, unable to hold on to himself, and his face became paler...

  The little **** on the side was taken aback, and hurriedly supported Emperor Hongzhi, but Emperor Hongzhi opened him, looking at Xie Qian fixedly in his eyes, and said in a deep voice, "What report?"

Liu Jian's face on the side also changed slightly, but he was barely able to hold on. In fact...he had already prepared for the worst. There was too much bad news from the Ministry of War, unrepaired military equipment, overstaffed people, and intrigues. Pile, piece by piece, is an ominous omen.

  Ma Wensheng was the most involved. He stared at Xie Qian, his heart pounding in his throat.

Once it is bad news, he, the Minister of the Ministry of War, really has no face to be a man. Someone must be responsible for the defeat of Jinzhou. It was a big mistake for the Ministry of War to predict the wrong direction of the Tatars' attack. This alone is enough for him to become The target of public criticism has been criticized by the Qing Dynasty. At that time, he has no other way to go except to ask for a speech.

   "Great news... It's a great victory... Your Majesty, the lives of 100,000 soldiers and civilians... have been saved. This is the report from Li Shan, Your Majesty, please read."

   As he spoke, tears flowed from Xie Qian's eyes.

  People’s hearts are fleshy, and it’s not about one or two people here. Back then, just because of Ouyang Zhi’s fortitude and clearing the country, several people were killed, which has already caused a lot of anger, saying that Ouyang Zhi has harmed the people.

  Now, there are tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians. Once they fall, the consequences will be disastrous.

   What's more deadly is that once the Liaodong portal is opened, the entire Liaodong will fall into chaos.

  Emperor Hongzhi was startled suddenly, he was silent for a moment, then he trembled and closed his eyes.

   It seemed like a long time...he digested the news.

   A young **** had already taken the memorial and handed it over to Emperor Hongzhi.

  Liu Jian and Ma Wensheng also looked at Emperor Hongzhi nervously.

   This news was a bit sudden, and I was still worried about it just now, but in the blink of an eye...

  Fang Jifan couldn't help but said: "Your Majesty... read it and listen..."

  He was also in a hurry. He couldn't sleep or eat well these days, and he didn't know whether his poor student was dead or alive.

   Now I am glad that Jinzhou has been saved, but it may not be that Ouyang Zhi is still alive.

Moreover, Fang Jifan once suspected that Ouyang Zhi's IQ was problematic, and outside the customs, the military system is adopted, which is different from inside the customs. Inside the customs, there are more or less royal laws. It is not necessary to lose your life to the city wall.

  Emperor Hongzhi subconsciously raised his eyes and glanced at Fang Jifan, thinking that Fang Jifan was a little bold, so I want to read the victory report to you?

  Emperor Hongzhi stared.

  Fang Jifan faltered immediately, his face was a little red, and he couldn't help thinking, it seems that it is difficult to have a character of character in this life, why are others so backbone? Could it be because of the uprightness of my three views? Do you have to keep a useful body and save the common people?

  Emperor Hongzhi bowed his head quickly. He read each word, and at first he was quite uneasy. After all, God knows if this is a fake memorial.

   But if you take a closer look, the inside... is really fake.

  Zoushu was written by Xunyan Yushi Li Shan.

In the report, he lavishly publicized his bravery, how to organize the people's power, help defend the city wall, and how he boosted morale. The implication is that the whole Jinzhou left him as a patrol censor, as if he could not turn around. Move in general.

  In addition to bragging about himself, he naturally did not forget to criticize He Yan's cowardice in command, and how He Yan's central guards have not improved their military equipment over the years. He also hinted at Zhongguan Wang Bao, howling when he saw the Tartars under the city, and even when the Tatars pretended to retreat, how they insisted on chasing them, almost causing the entire Jinzhou to fall because of this **** Zhongguan Wang Bao.

   "..."

  Emperor Hongzhi frowned into the word Chuan.

  This essay by Li Shan has excellent diction, which can be called lifelike and vivid, but it is difficult to tell the truth from the fake.

   Taking a deep breath, Emperor Hongzhi continued to read.

  Next, an acquaintance unexpectedly appeared...Ouyang Zhi!

  …

  The last sentence, ask for votes and support every day!
