Chapter One Hundred and Sixteen: One Sect and Five Tributes
Fang Jifan Ben just felt that he should say something, but obviously, this... made people feel a little uncomfortable to hear.
There is one in your ear, saying every day that you are a little inferior and you are embarrassed. Such words will inevitably cause some self-confidence to a young man from a noble family like Xu Jing.
However, it is very necessary to damage his confidence. He should not let him jump too much. Who knows what pit will be dug for Fang Jifan?
Five disciples gathered in front of Fang Jifan. These five people almost won the top three in the imperial examination, and there were two in the imperial examination, and they also had the highest scores in the imperial examination. This is almost a matter of the imperial examination in today's subject, and they were all in one go.
You should know that there are only 300 people who have won the entire imperial examination, and the imperial examination is one in three years. This is the most outstanding scholar in the world in three years.
But Fang Jifan was really not happy because he had to arrange accommodation for them.
The Fang family's mansion was very large, thanks to the Emperor Gaozu of Fang Jifan. He followed Zhu Di from Peking to Nanjing excitedly, and was awarded a title, and then followed Emperor Wen Zhu Di to move the capital back to Beijing. In this process, he always maintained an optimistic spirit. You see, people followed the court, and Emperor Gaozu followed Zhu Di. Many people died, but he was still alive. After climbing out of the sea of corpses and blood, his life was legendary and happy. He believed that the Fang family's hereditary earl would be as smooth as his life, and their descendants would be lush in the future. Therefore, when building this mansion, he never thought about starting in the finest place, and only one goal... big.
But the result was not as wonderful as he expected. At least Fang Jifan is now a single-handed person of three generations, which means that the descendants of the Fang family are not prosperous.
Therefore, the mansion was vacant, and even in many places in the backyard, it was covered with moss and weeds.
Now... several disciples must be moved in. The five of them are all tribute students. Fang Jifan is still waiting for them to support him. Although these five are older than him, they will have disciples in the future.
Then, the construction of a study and a row of temples was put on the agenda. By the way, the Fang family's vestibule and other buildings had to be repaired, which was a major project.
Fang Jifan has silver, but he is not afraid of spending silver. Isn’t it just for money?
In terms of design, Fang Jifan also had his own ideas. He had to open a unique yard for himself, and there must be a row of wing rooms in the yard. This is for the purpose of marrying a wife and taking concubines in the future.
As for study and monastery, okay, I can’t help it…
After some design, he began to recruit craftsmen and prepare building materials. Of course, it would be better to leave such things to Manager Yang. Although Manager Yang often whispered, Fang Jifan trusted him very much. He was a real person and had served the Fang family for two generations.
Everything is ready, but the east wind is missing.
In early March, Fang Jifan arrived at Zhan Shi Mansion early in the morning. The watermelon was about to be ripe. Zhu Houzhao, who had been waiting for a long time, was so excited that he danced with joy, but he was cautious. When he looked at the watermelon, he suddenly felt like a treasure. No eunuchs outside were allowed to enter the greenhouse. Only Fang Jifan and Zhu Houzhao squatted here. Zhu Houzhao gently stroked the fruits produced by the champion Hou, and burst into tears.
A gentleman takes revenge, it’s not too late for ten years, and his son takes revenge, which is a rhythm of five steps.
Fang Jifan thought to himself, if I have such a son who takes Xigua as his life for revenge, I will definitely strangle him to death.
The two came out of the greenhouse, and Zhu Houzhao seemed excited, but suddenly said, "Yes, there is one thing, have you read the diary report?"
"I haven't seen it."
"You don't even read the Dibao?"
"Lag!" Fang Jifan said seriously.
"It makes sense." Zhu Houzhao smiled: "I am lazy, but... I am concerned about border affairs, so I will occasionally look at it. The day before yesterday, the newspaper was copied out, saying that since the Milu rebellion, Wang Shi, the Minister of Revenue and the Left Deputy Censor of Nanjing, was ordered to supervise the military affairs of Yunnan and Guizhou. He had arrived in Guiyang and mobilized 50,000 elite soldiers to attack the nests of Milu rebels Pu'an and Annanwei. His report had already been passed to the palace. Wang Shi was a good soldier. After seeing the memorial, his father wrote a letter in person and told the people of all directions to strive for Wang Shi in advance. My palace has thought about his combat plan, and he mobilized elite soldiers and generals, thinking that he would be the main force and work step by step, and never make the mistake of Qian Yue. It seems that Milu's rebels will be pacified soon."
His eyes blinked with agility, and then said, "I am very clear about Ma Zheng and military affairs. The court will win this battle. Wang Shi is a general, but I have neglected him."
Zhu Houzhao said that he understood military affairs, which was really not a brag. In history, Zhu Houzhao had great martial arts skills. He had outstanding tactical abilities in fighting the Tatars. In fact, if it were not for Zhu Houzhao, who was posthumously named Emperor Wuzong of Ming Dynasty, his reputation in history would never have been so bad.
Zhu Houzhao was obviously quite satisfied with Wang Shi's warfare method. Many of his own opinions also wanted to coincide with Wang Shi, so he sighed so much.
but……
Fang Jifan shook his head.
When Zhu Houzhao saw Fang Jifan shook his head, he couldn't help but blush: "Why, do you don't agree?"
"It's hard to say." Fang Jifan looked smiling.
In fact, the tactics of step by step are theoretically good for Milu rebels. Fang Jifan also agreed with Wang Shi's tactics when he was studying history, but the problem is that Wang Shi still failed because Milu was even more clever. She relied on the convenience of Guizhou's mountains and ridges to pieces and never fought with Wang Shi, but continued to harass her. The final result was that although Wang Shi's tactics were safe, they were repeatedly frustrated and eventually failed.
It is now the twelfth year of Hongzhi. In history, it was not until the fifteenth year of Hongzhi that Wang Shi's army completely quelled the Milu Rebellion. During these three years, the first two years were in heavy losses.
This tactic has been proven to be wrong in history.
Zhu Houzhao was competitive and strong. He followed Fang Jifan's advice in other matters, but Fang Jifan did not agree with the marching and war at all. He had his own opinions and opinions!
Zhu Houzhao couldn't help but say, "Why is it hard to say?"
Fang Jifan thought about it and said, "Wang Shi will definitely be frustrated. Milu is not an ordinary person. At the beginning, he was able to defeat Qian Yue and defeat the strong with the weak, which proved that she was different from other rebel chieftains. She would never confront Wang Shi head-on. Lord Wang took every step forward, but he was in vain. Once the army could not find Milu's main force and the food route was cut off by Milu's rebels, the losses would be heavy."
Zhu Houzhao was stunned and frowned and said, "This is just your empty talk."
Fang Jifan sighed in his heart. In fact, he hoped that his grasp of history would alert the court, but the problem was that he found that many people seemed to have doubts about their words.
It seems that only when what happened in history happened can everyone suddenly realize it, but it was too late at that time.
After all, this reason... is still a slight word.
"Isn't Your Highness a simple talk?" Fang Jifan smiled at him.
Zhu Houzhao was stunned, and suddenly became unhappy, and said angrily: "This is different. I have been familiar with military books since I was a child. How many military books have you read?"
"Does Sun Tzu's Art of War count?" Fang Jifan thought for a while.
"..." Zhu Houzhao burst out laughing: "Sun Tzu's Art of War is good, but this is actually not the real art of war. Just like when you study and only read the Analects of Confucius, although the Analects of Confucius is good, it is too big and transformed. No wonder you don't know anything. Come, I will teach you that the real art of war is not just as simple as the Thirty-Six Strategies. What is involved is military rations, the exercises of men, and... "
"Not interested!" Fang Jifan shook his head, learning military tactics... it was very tiring...
"So, should you admit that Wang Shi's tactics are...?"
Before Zhu Houzhao finished speaking, Fang Jifan shook his head and said, "If you don't admit it, Wang Shi will definitely be defeated."
"You..." Zhu Houzhao was convinced by him, especially Fang Jifan's attitude of not afraid of boiling water, which annoyed him. After all, no one dared to provoke him. I am usually very interested in you, Old Fang, and I am so friends like this, why are you so stubborn?
Fang Jifan is not afraid of Zhu Houzhao. This young master has a swordsman. Although Wang Shi will not be defeated, he will definitely suffer heavy losses. Why do you have to admit it?
Zhu Houzhao snorted coldly and couldn't help but say, "I ignore you."
Scared, can this scare our Jiefan?
Fang Jifan said oh, "That minister takes his leave."
Zhu Houzhao was so angry that she said angrily: "You are too stubborn."
"Your Highness is the one who is stubborn."
Zhu Houzhao stared at Fang Jifan: "I have read countless military books, and have received guidance from many veteran generals. I have read countless maps, but you clearly don't understand it. Go, I will grow my own watermelon."
"Oh." Fang Jifan sighed in his heart. He knew that he could not admit defeat. He sighed in his heart and just said, "Your Highness, say goodbye."
Seeing that Fang Jifan was really gone, Zhu Houzhao suddenly became annoyed and grinned in anger. It was obvious that Fang Jifan had no intention of turning back at all, and he felt a little regretful.
This debate made Zhu Houzhao very unhappy, so that Liu Jin and Zhang Yong on the side were all unbearable, fearing that they would be irritated by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.
“What to see?”
Sure enough, Zhu Houzhao rushed to Liu Jin angrily and kicked him in the heart.
Liu Jin staggered, and with a whisper, he hurriedly fell down again. The imperial city said in panic: "I have died."
Zhu Houzhao was stunned, her face pale, and she couldn't help but mutter in her heart.
Looking at Liu Jin lying on his feet trembling, he couldn't help thinking, it would be great if Lao Fang and Liu Fan were obedient like this.
But immediately... he shook his head again, if this is true, is Lao Fang still Lao Fang?
