Chapter seven hundred and sixty seventh: hard-edged
Zhu Houzhao quickly walked out of suspicion.
In any case, it is extremely pleasant to go to Hexi to fight the Tartars.
He stayed in front of the map for many days and nights before he developed a foolproof strategy.
Zhu Houzhao was simply a genius in military affairs. Then, as if he was afraid that his father would change his mind, he immediately selected the Knight Camp and the East Palace Guards, and took them away with them with the students of Xishan Academy, which was called to let them see the world and gain more knowledge.
Hundreds of students who were willing to go with him, plus thousands of cavalrymen, immediately took Zhu Houzhao to set off.
Fang Jifan went to see him off in person. When he arrived outside the capital, Zhu Houzhao rode a tall horse in military uniform and was extremely heroic. He looked at Fang Jifan: "Lao Fang, I'm going here, don't regret it."
Fang Jifan said, "Your Highness, it's getting late. If you are too busy, I won't be able to catch up with my lunch."
"..." Zhu Houzhao was happy and said, "I will miss Mr. Wen, um... I'm leaving."
Fang Jifan bowed to Zhu Houzhao and bowed.
Zhu Houzhao pulled the horse, turned around and left.
All the riders surrounded him.
Liu Jin sat on the horse, happily eating watermelon seeds, and while knocking, he said, "God, see you all."
"Goodbye." Fang Jifan kept smiling.
Farewell to Zhu Houzhao.
I felt a little reluctant.
If this fool knew that he could hardly find the Tatars in Lanzhou, he would definitely be furious.
Forget it, let him go to Lanzhou and feel disappointed. I have nowhere to put my energy into it.
Fang Jifan sighed in his heart, returned to the capital, and then rode his horse to the Meridian Gate, asking to meet Emperor Hongzhi.
A moment later, an eunuch invited Fang Jifan to the Warm Pavilion.
Emperor Hongzhi quietly leaned on the desk. When he heard that Fang Jifan was coming, he raised his eyes and looked at Fang Jifan with a smile: "Are the prince gone?"
"Yes, your majesty, I'm a little reluctant."
Emperor Hongzhi sighed: "How could I bear to give up? But every time I see him, whenever there is something wrong with the country, he will be happy to celebrate the New Year. I see it in my heart and also in my heart. At a young age, I don't care about the big deal of watching the fun. I simply let him go out for a walk, so that he can understand the hardships outside, fall, and come back."
Fang Jifan hesitated for a long time: "Your Majesty, I have a saying that I don't know whether to speak or not."
Emperor Hongzhi stared at Fang Jifan: "You said."
Fang Jifan said: "Your Majesty must know that the Hexi Corridor is just a Tatar bluff, right?"
Emperor Hongzhi looked surprised: "You actually know?"
But immediately, Emperor Hongzhi was amused: "Haha... I almost forgot that you are the most clever one. You can't hide anything from you. It's rare in the world that you are so smart that you are so smart. You are so rare in the world. You said that since the Tatars and the Ming Dynasty completely got into trouble, my factory guards have already come out and tried every means to buy and lurk some people. Among the Tatars, according to the report of the factory guards, the target of Yanda Khan was Datong. As for the Hexi Corridor, it was just a bluff. After a few tentative attacks, the small group of people would retreat immediately. In other words, when my son arrived in Lanzhou, he would only see thousands of miles of yellow sand."
Fang Jifan couldn't help laughing and raised his thumbs up: "Your Majesty is so cunning... No, you are far-sighted. My son, I'm convinced."
Hearing that he was cunning, Emperor Hongzhi lowered his face and then thought about it, what should he care about with this brain-related son-in-law?
After thinking about it carefully, this time, I finally teased my son. This guy always made me worry. Today, I asked him to go to Lanzhou to eat dust, and then went home obediently with his tail. From then on, let's see if he still dares to make trouble all day long.
Emperor Hongzhi coughed: "Don't mess around. This time, the Tatars will attack Datong and Jifan, what do you think?"
Fang Jifan was silent for a moment: "Since he has come, he must be hurt. Since Zhenguo Mansion has purged Wanggong Factory, Wanggong Factory has manufactured a large number of new firearms, which can come in handy."
Emperor Hongzhi nodded: "I heard the British Duke boast about the power of your firearm, and I am quite looking forward to it, so I hope that you will follow the army. The Governor's Artillery Battalion and the Flying Battalion this time."
Fang Jifan said: "My son has brain disease and must not accept it."
Emperor Hongzhi frowned. He thought Fang Jifan would be willing to go there happily.
"I have issued an order, how dare you not go? Don't use brain diseases as a guise."
Fang Jifan said, "Your Majesty, I just gave birth to a son. The child is still young. I want to spend more time with my son."
Emperor Hongzhi lowered his face: "Successfully, national affairs are the most important."
Fang Jifan continued: "Son minister..."
Emperor Hongzhi showed disappointment: "Hey, since that's the case, I will choose another wise man."
Fang Jifan stared at Emperor Hongzhi: "What does Your Majesty mean? Isn't it time for me to resign three times? Your Majesty must do whatever he wants. Then, Is it necessary for me to accept it?"
"What?" Emperor Hongzhi glared at Fang Jifan.
Fang Jifan looked at Emperor Hongzhi innocently.
Four eyes are opposite.
a long time.
Emperor Hongzhi sneered: "Do you think you are Zhuge Kongming?"
Fang Jifan shook his head: "What the son minister means is to refuse at least a few times, otherwise His Highness the Crown Prince will return empty-handed, but he will learn that his son minister has gone to Datong, so it is difficult to explain."
"..." Emperor Hongzhi was speechless: "I will ask you if you will go for the last time."
Fang Jifan said sutra: "Since Your Majesty has to force me to go, how dare I not go? Well, I have to go. I just don't know who is the candidate for the head coach this time?"
Emperor Hongzhi said lightly: "You will know later."
Soon, an eunuch came to report: "Your Majesty, British Duke Zhang Mao, here."
"Please come in." Emperor Hongzhi nodded.
Duke of England...
Fang Jifan's eyes were opened. Can the British Duke succeed? He has been offering sacrifices for most of his life and can still get on a horse and chop people up? Will he be cheated to death by him?
Soon after, the British Duke Zhang Mao entered the palace excitedly: "Old minister... I have seen Your Majesty."
When he came, Zhang Mao heard the sound of the wind and was excited.
Unexpectedly, this time, I would have to take on such a major task.
But if you think about it carefully, this battle is imminent. At that time, you will inevitably mobilize all armies and deploy defenses on the Datong line. If someone who does not have enough prestige in the army can mobilize all army horses.
The title of Duke of England is a symbol of itself, and it is a totem in the Ming army. It is wise for Your Majesty to choose himself.
Zhang Mao kowtowed and bowed: "Your Majesty..."
Emperor Hongzhi said: "The Tatar army is aiming at Datong with its sword. I want to invite you to the ancestral tomb and worship..."
"..." Zhang Mao was stunned.
Emperor Hongzhi continued: "After proclaiming sacrifices to the ancestors, he personally supervised all the troops and horses to guard Datong. You are willing to take responsibility..."
Suddenly, Zhang Mao's face turned red: "I am willing. I am willing, and I am willing one hundred of them."
Emperor Hongzhi smiled: "How can I not know what your family thinks? Over the years, you have been studying military and horses and have been on countless regulations to purify the Ma Zheng. You really know that you are unwilling to accept your heart. This time I handed over Datong to you, and Fang Jifan, I have also handed him over to you. Don't let him lose a hair."
Zhang Mao was ecstatic and burst into tears: "The old minister would rather die..."
Emperor Hongzhi held his hands tightly: "Don't say death, it's unlucky."
"I am sure that I will not be humiliated."
Emperor Hongzhi smiled: "Over the years, the Tatars have repeatedly invaded the border. I have been wondering why the Ming Dynasty was passively beaten again and again. Even if these Tatars hurt them, they will make a comeback as long as they rest and recuperate. I am so annoying. In this Battle of Datong, I hope that your family will beat the Tatars more and not hurt to the bone marrow. The Ming Dynasty will never have peace."
"Yes." Zhang Mao gritted his teeth and said, "The old minister obeys the order!"
Emperor Hongzhi waved his hand: "You can go and prepare quickly and choose an auspicious day to set off."
When Zhang Mao walked out of the warm pavilion, he was so excited that he almost covered his face and cried.
Fang Jifan looked at Zhang Mao like a fool. Is war really that fun?
This Uncle Zhang is so shameless, as if life is incomplete as long as the Duke of England is a man surnamed Zhang and does not lead troops to fight a war.
Zhang Mao wiped his tears and patted Fang Jifan on the shoulder: "Let's go, I'll take you to drink, haha, I finally got what I want, I got what I want."
"Uncle Shi, I will drink this wine again when I celebrate the future. My nephew will go home to see my child and go to fight. Thinking that his father is fighting outside, the child will not see his father, so my nephew feels uncomfortable."
Zhang Mao grinned his teeth: "One day, your son will be like your father spoiling you. In the future, he will be a demon king in the world. If he doesn't beat him for three days, he will be removed from the room and remove the tiles. You are treated as a beast. Are you happy or not? Scramble him. In the future, people will be honest and honest. Look at me..."
Fang Jifan looked at Zhang Mao as if curious, and blinked.
Zhang Mao suddenly felt relieved: "Hey, after saying this, my son is still studying insects and rice, but he is not as good as you. Forget it, don't talk about these, don't talk about these, Jifan, Your Majesty asks me to take care of you, don't worry, I will never let you lose a single hair."
Fang Jifan ran away in a flash.
This guy is too resentful and has a bad view, so it is better to be less contagious by him.
Fang Jifan returned to the princess's mansion excitedly. When Zhu Xiurong saw Fang Jifan come back, he was holding his son.
The child whispered, tossing and turning.
Zhu Xiurong's arm was a little sore, and he was busy passing it to Fang Jifan.
Fang Jifan hugged the child in his arms and sighed: "I am becoming more and more like him, as handsome as him. What can I do if I do this? Our Fang family is too high-profile and cannot hide its sharpness."
The child immediately opened his eyes and looked at Fang Jifan with black eyes. He seemed to not quite understand why his father was so sad.
Could it be...he has no milk left?
