Prodigal Son of the Ming Dynasty

  Chapter 715 Capture the Thief First Capture the King

  Zhu Houzhao narrowed his eyes: "In my view, this may not be the case."

   Zhu Houzhao had a sly look on his face: "Now, what kind of corruption is this officer and army? If you don't know anything about the military, you don't know."

Then, Zhu Houzhao said: "Official troops are of little use. Unless a large army is sent, at least one hundred to two hundred thousand people will be needed to surround Nanchang Mansion and make every step of the way. Therefore, I have read the regulations of the British public Zhang Mao. , he really put his mind to it, and he didn't rush for success, so he used this method."

"But you have to know that the soldiers and horses go first before the food and grass are mobilized, and it is the mobilization of tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, plus the steady and steady fight. It will not take a year or so. I am afraid it will not work, but... the meat is our flying ball As long as it can be dispatched, it will not take long before taking the head of King Ning's old dog."

  Fang Jifan said: "In Nanchang City, there are only a few rebels, and most of them are innocent people. You must not use flying balls. But..."

  Zhu Houzhao said: "But what?"

Fang Jifan held his chin: "To capture the thief, you must first capture the king. If King Ning dies, the rebels in the Nanchang Mansion will be coerced by this King Ning in all likelihood. As long as King Ning dies, they will surely die Surrender, never dare to cause chaos, if you can do this, it is really a blessing for the common people."

  Yes, in the land of fish and rice in the south of the Yangtze River, fighting for a year or so is unbearable, and how many people will die at that time, Fang Jifan would rather go to Guanwai and Jiaozhi to fight for three to five years, and he does not want this war to spread to Nanchang.

   "Kill, how?" Zhu Houzhao was stunned.

Fang Jifan said: "Naturally, it is necessary to strike accurately. On the one hand, the Nanchang Mansion should have our secret work, so that they can constantly detect King Ning's whereabouts. If King Ning is preparing for rebellion, he will often go in and out of the camp or inspect the towers. After clearing his rules, our people sneaked into Nanchang city, disassembled a flying ball, and mixed in. As soon as King Ning was confirmed to show up, the flying ball flew low at low altitude. And then... kill with one hit!"

   "..." Zhu Houzhao was dumbfounded when he heard this.

   That's... very imaginative.

  It is indeed very imaginative. If this method is used, then a huge disaster will be solved easily. Fang Jifan avenged the assassination of his beloved apprentice, His Majesty also relieved the hatred, and the court removed a serious trouble. The military households do not have to be recruited, and the common people can continue to live.

Perfect.

  Zhu Houzhao sneered and chirped and hummed: "It's not interesting. What I hate most is stabbing people in the back. This is something that despicable and shameless villains do. Lao Fang, I don't want to talk about these, let's go."

  Fang Jifan saw Zhu Houzhao like this, and couldn't help but despise him in his heart, you know what a fart, of course it is cost-effective to solve the huge trouble with the smallest price.

   If you have to send hundreds of thousands of troops, isn’t that sick?

Of course, although I tried my best to take advantage of the flying ball's advantages, but... After all, it has not been verified, and there are too many troubles that may arise in reality. When I talk about it, it can be called perfect, and it can be implemented. , it is difficult.

   But...what does it matter?

  Under the spiritual influence of Fang Jifan, there are some good people who can verify success or failure. Even if they fail, they are just dead, but if they succeed, it will be completely different.

  Seeing Zhu Houzhao go away whimpering.

  Fang Jifan didn't bother to talk to him, and was about to leave.

  But I saw Zhang Mao coming out of the palace happily, his footsteps were vigorous, and he looked arrogant: "Jifan, haha, haha..."

  Fang Jifan heard him laughing, and his heart was trembling. He hurriedly squeezed out a smile, and said to Zhang Mao: "Hello, Uncle Shi."

Zhang Mao stepped forward and patted Fang Jifan on the shoulder: "Okay, okay, my father and I have been gone for many days, hey, I'm a little busy, you know, it's the Chinese New Year, and I have to give something to our ancestors." Incense. But now, the old man is very anxious. Soon, the old man is going to go to war. When the time comes, what should we do with this priest?"

He thought for a while: "Why don't you go, the old man recommends you to go, this is a leisurely job, just accompany the ancestors to announce the good news, talk, it's fine, report the good news and not the bad news, you understand ?”

  Fang Jifan held his head: "My nephew's head hurts."

Zhang Mao had no choice but to shake his head: "That's all, I have to choose another wise man. Nephew, I have to go to the Ministry of War and discuss with the Minister of the Ministry of War about entering the army. Next time we will get together again, boy, don't you grow up?" Little, it is said that the baby is about to be born..."

  Like all the elders, although Fang Jifan was born very tall, he still patted Fang Jifan on the head condescendingly: "Let's go."

  Fang Jifan felt that his brain disease must be caused by these photos, sir, what are you doing to pat your head?

In the past few days, he has been worrying about Ouyang Zhi. Now, seeing that Ouyang Zhi is fine, Fang Jifan is relieved, and hurried back to the princess mansion. Seeing Zhu Xiurong smiling at him, he was angry: "I don't see anyone all day, I almost missed it the day before yesterday." I fell."

  Fang Jifan was about to blow up: "Why are you so careless? Alas, madam, don't move around. You sit quietly and don't move a step. I will kowtow to you for the 18th generation of my Fang family ancestors."

   "..." Zhu Xiurong hurriedly said: "Don't talk nonsense, it's true. The ancestors should know that you don't like talking about them all the time."

  Fang Jifan is silly.

  I said in my heart, I have passed it down for several generations. Whether his ancestors like it or not, they have to hold it in the sky if they don’t like it. If there are ghosts in the world, Fang Jifan would not dare to offend anyone's ancestors, but his own ancestors, uh... come and bite me.

  Sit down, obediently accompany Zhu Xiurong to knit a sweater.

  On the next day, Fang Jifan lazily remembered that he should go see Ouyang Zhi and check his injuries. He changed his clothes and went to Xishan.

  Ouyang Zhi is now recuperating in the silkworm room in Xishan. After all, he cannot stay in the palace for long, but he is a rising star. It is said that many people have come to care about him, and many important figures in the temple have come to visit.

  As soon as Fang Jifan arrived at Xishan, he saw Liu Jin stomping his feet and rushing towards him: "Captain, Captain...It's over, it's over..."

  Fang Jifan said: "Eunuch Liu is eating hot pot again."

With his characteristic bass, Liu Jin began to cry loudly: "Your Highness, he has disappeared. Since we parted ways with the Captain yesterday, he has not returned to the East Palace, but has gone directly to the West Mountain. This message was delivered by my maidservant, but His Highness did not return to the East Palace at night, so this is not uncommon, but this morning, this servantservant found out that His Highness was not at West Mountain last night."

  Fang Jifan shrugged: "If you're not here, you're not here. You can go to the brothel in the city and look for it."

Liu Jin cried and said: "Your Highness is not such a person. What's more important is that Zhang Yuanxi and Li Yi didn't show up either. It was said that they were called away by His Highness last night. There is also Shen Aohe who came back from Jiaozhi. Yang Biao, they are all gone. It is said that at noon yesterday, His Royal Highness told them to leave and showed an imperial edict..."

"..." Hearing the names of Zhang Yuanxi, Yang Biao, Li Yi, Shen Ao, and the imperial decree, Fang Jifan almost exploded on the spot. I, Cao... Yesterday... Yesterday, what did my grandson say? …

  Oh, by the way, he doesn't do such backstabbing, despicable things. Turn your head, this grandson... what is he going to do with the sharpshooter Zhang Yuanxi? And Yang Biao and Shen Ao...

   "Did you take a flying ball?" Fang Jifan asked.

   Liu Jin burst into tears: "That's right, a flying ball was also taken away, the flying ball was disassembled, and it was taken away by horse-drawn horse.

  Fang Jifan shuddered: "I knew it, you bastard, why don't you watch your Highness, what are you doing in a daze, go and report."

"Slaves dare not." Liu Jin hugged Fang Jifan's thighs and curled up on the ground: "You can't sue, once you report, the slaves will be negligent. Even if His Royal Highness is found, the slaves will die. Also, Fang Du Wei... Did you talk to His Highness the Crown Prince about flying **** and sharpshooters? When the slave girl came down to the west mountain with His Royal Highness yesterday, I heard His Highness repeatedly talking about flying balls, What kind of sharpshooter, what about capturing the thief first, and what else... Good idea, what the old Fang said is right, this will be a great achievement."

  Fang Jifan's face collapsed. He said resolutely: "I didn't say anything, I'll take Ouyang Zhi's head as a guarantee!"

   All of a sudden, Fang Jifan didn't intend to report it, what a fart to report it, once he got to the bottom of it, the crown prince himself abetted it.

  Zhu Houzhao, this bastard, is really nothing.

"Let's go, let's go after them. They can't go far with the flying balls, and to carry the flying balls, they can only take the flat official road. As long as the horse whips and heads towards Nanchang Mansion, they will definitely be able to catch up. "

  Liu Jin shivered: "Oh, oh, okay, let's... let's go... get some food."

   "Eat your uncle, let's take the ticket, and we are afraid that the various stations along the way will not be able to provide food and drink, so let's go without delay!"

  Fang Jifan was really in a hurry.

  He completely convinced Zhu Houzhao.

  This guy is playing dirty.

  Obviously the idea I came up with, I really intend to let people have a narrow escape, so try it.

  But I didn't expect that the crown prince would go.

  If something happens to the crown prince, it will be over. Fang Jifan guarantees that he will never see his unborn child again.

   Taking the horse, this matter, people who know about it are getting better and better. Fang Jifan and Liu Jin, each with their own ghosts, chose to keep it a secret.

   Immediately afterwards, Fang Jifan was not idle, he rode his horse all the way, and galloped south along the official road.

  Perhaps, in less than two days, Zhu Houzhao's grandson can be caught up. Don't let yourself catch up with this grandson. If you catch up with me, Fang Jifan will not beat you.

  …

   Here comes another one, wow, what a hardworking tiger, don’t you give some encouragement?
