Chapter 506 The Emperor's In-person Recruitment

8days ago Historical fiction 7
After the storm, the Peach Blossom Fairy lay in Zhang Fan's arms and looked at his handsome face, showing deep obsession.

What are the difficult tasks you have this time?

It's nothing, I don't want you to go this time.

Do you think I am really going to get along with you in order to enter the palace?

The Peach Blossom Fairy is most afraid of two situations. One is that Zhang Fan first talks about the task and then gets along with her. This makes her feel that Zhang Fan is good for her in order to make use of herself, so she interrupted him early and wanted to seduce him to bed first.

Another situation is that if you are better, you will say that you have no task, because then Zhang Fan may think that he is a person who cherishes his life and will be able to get along with him in order not to take risks.

So this time, Peach Blossom Fairy will go, no matter what. She just wants to tell him that she loves her more than any woman she has, and that is useful.

The Peach Blossom Fairy was so persistent, he had to sigh and glanced at the plum blossom under her body. No, the Peach Blossom Fairy should be called Taohua, and then he explained in detail the plan to plot Xuande.

But this time you don’t have to show up too much. Just supervise the Japanese woman. It’s okay to sell her to protect yourself at critical moments.

If the plan cannot be completed, it doesn’t matter. What’s important is that you have to get out of it without any loss?

Zhang Fan felt that it would be God's will if he couldn't finish it. After all, this matter hurts people, and if it is not controlled well, there will be big problems.

Besides, Zhang Fan has the confidence to defeat Xuande on the front battlefield, which comes from his pride for his predecessors six hundred years later.

When you return triumphantly, I will definitely take you into the palace and will not let you suffer any more.

OK OK OK OK OK I know, don’t worry, I didn’t complete the task smoothly any time.The Peach Blossom Fairy seemed very happy to be able to be used.

……

The next day, he returned to the royal palace and summoned all the ministers in the cabinet. Zheng Qiao brought some news from Yunnan. The Xuande Dynasty hoped to gather some troops through Yunnan, Guizhou and Guangxi to restrain Zhang Fan's attacking forces.

Zhang Fan did not dare to do his best. Zhang Fan thought for a while and felt that this problem was not difficult. After thinking about it, he arranged for him. On Mu Sheng's side, you send someone to stare at him and let him pretend to cooperate with the court's attack. As for the Guizhou area, the Miao soldiers and horses made an attack, they were afraid of the disadvantages of defending the city and did not dare to cooperate with the Xuande court. As for Guangxi's sending people to explain the pros and cons to make them stop moving, at least they cannot do their best. There can be more defenses here than the other two.After all, this is a war between me and Xuande's court. As local emperors in remote areas, they are definitely unwilling to get involved. In the end, the result of my war with Xuande directly affected their attitude.

Yes, Your Highness, I will do it later.

After Zheng Qia reported, Zhu Heng proposed to let Emperor Jianwen lead the army in person. As soon as he made a statement, everyone was talking about it.

Now our army is in its prime. If His Majesty can be allowed to fight in person, it will inevitably increase morale. At this time, the puppet dynasty has encountered setbacks one after another. This move will definitely make the guards along the road shake and surrender.

Zhu Heng felt that it was extremely important to reduce the delay and loss of troops on the way to Nanjing.

No, Your Majesty is old and it is really not appropriate to go forward to supervise the battle in person. If there is any danger, the country will be uneasy.

The speaker was an old minister of Jianwen. As an old minister of Jianwen, of course, he did not agree with this method. If Jianwen is gone, then their position will be very embarrassing. Many of them are useless and are given by Jianwen in their position today.

Unlike Zhang Fan's maternal wife and Han Wang officials, they may not care about Jianwen's life or death if they either make contributions or bring capital to invest.

Zhang Fan thought about the rationality of this matter in his mind, saying that Jianwen was already old and he didn't think that Jianwen was only in his fifties, but where was he taller.

All the ministers in the audience expressed their opinions and thought that this matter was feasible. They could not escape death no matter how defeated the war. There is no essential difference between death on the front line and the palace.

So the final key to this matter fell on Zheng Qia, who was the leader of the old minister of Jianwen. If he agreed, it would be difficult for others to refute anything. If he did not agree with Jianwen, he would definitely focus on his opinions.

Of course, Zheng Qia also knew that he was the key to the problem. He thought about it for a long time, and weighed the pros and cons, and was finally moved by Zhang Fan's calm deployment of troops just now. He felt that with King Xiang, he would not lose, and it should not be a problem to protect Jianwen.

At that time, it will definitely be the first merit to win the Nanjing-based meritorious service. At that time, the identities of the ministers under Jianwen will also increase.

I also feel that Your Majesty will win the battle with his own command.When everyone saw that Zheng Qia agreed, some sighed, and some smiled and stopped reconsidering.

Immediately afterwards, Zhang Fan left a military general in the middle army, and he was about to start explaining them a lot of knowledge about parabola and gravity acceleration.

In order to get our army's artillery to hit every shot, I must explain the principles to everyone here. Only in this way can you better guide the soldiers to use them flexibly on the battlefield.

Zhang Fan did not directly talk about how far the conclusion was, and he did not know that this was necessary to accurately calculate the initial speed of each shell. He placed a long piece of paper on the case, and gave an example to explain to the generals how to decompose the speed and how to change the shooting angle from the landing point of the shell, so as to achieve a 100-year impact.

Finally, I will tell you the tangent value to you, and the angle is determined by the distance raised by the shell opening.

(I forgot all my knowledge of high school physics, don’t blame me for saying it wrong)

Finally, it was dark and finally made most people understand, and they asked each other to ask for advice after going back, and went to the camp to train in person another day.

……

In the third year of Xuande, on the morning of June 15, 1932, the 32nd year of Jianwen, the Chaoyang rose slowly from the Wuchang city wall in the distance. For a moment, thousands of lights shone from the Chaoyang to the main palace of the King of Chu Palace on the central axis of Wuchang City.

The gentle sunlight shot in from the doors of the hall, and you could vaguely see the dust floating in the air.

The little eunuch in the Royal Palace and the palace maids extinguish the candles in the hall one by one. Even if it is the palace of the royal family, it is shameful to waste it.

They lowered their heads and tiptoed, for fear of alarming His Highness, King Xiang and His Majesty the Emperor in the hall.

The imperial ethics hall of the Chu Palace is very high, second only to the Emperor's Taiji Hall and the Prince's Yinying Hall.

As Emperor Jianwen, who had been hiding in the east and hiding for decades, was not at all wronged, thanks to the feudal system implemented by Emperor Taizu, who was afraid of being hungry.

Although the princes repeatedly cut off military power and governance after the Jingnan Dynasty, the so-called vassal states had already died in name only, and the princes could no longer pass the local government to manage their fiefdoms, or even leave the city, and lose their freedom.

But you can still enjoy high treatment in life, such as the residence specifications of the royal palace.

Since Emperor Jianwen entered the palace of Chu, the dynasty on the first and fifteenth day of the lunar month seemed to be more formal. Most of the official duties had been handled by the cabinet, while Emperor Jianwen was more like what the book said was to rule, and all the memorials were corrected.

But this does not prevent the civil and military officials from enjoying the pleasure of being a farmer in the morning and climbing to the emperor's hall in the evening.

So no one ever gets too much or complains about this one-on-one setting.

Although Zhang Fan hardly went, he did not object to this practice of uniting people's hearts and showing that he was an orthodox court, not a bandit.

But today's morning court was very special. What was different from the past was that His Highness Xiang, who rarely had morning courts, was present, and from the very beginning, he sat alone in the hall with Emperor Jianwen.

The civil and military officials stood quietly on both sides of the eaves of the Huangxiang Hall, pricking up their ears to listen to the conversation between the Xiang King and the Emperor in the hall.

It’s a dialogue, to be precise, Zhang Fan is talking and Jianwen is listening.

Zhang Fan was originally a modern person and did not talk about the style of the monarch and ministers. He wore a straight naval uniform, even a gem short sword on his waist. He sat on the chair given by Jianwen Qin. He was not like the hypocritical manifestations of only half of his butts sitting, but sat very straight, holding his hands with a wide-edge iron helmet on his knees and talking about his father. If he was an ordinary person, in common terms, he would be a person from Yingtian Prefecture, Nanjing, whose ancestral home is Fengyang.

You were born in Yingtian, grew up in Yingtian, and struggled in Yingtian. You have long been born and raised in Nanjing...

Emperor Jianwen, with gray hair on his temples, sat quietly on the throne of the hall, slightly tilted his head, and his eyes seemed to look straight into the distance.

If you look carefully, you will find that his eyes are distracted, and he is obviously brought to the distant memories by Zhang Fan's words.

My father is from Nanjing, so is my son’s minister.

If those things didn't happen, then I should still sleep soundly in the gentle village of a popular brothel on the Qinhuai River. The princess in the palace might be thinking about waiting for her father to leave morning court and sue you, so that I can't afford to take care of her.

Zhang Fan smiled mockingly when he said this.

Then the topic changed: I remember that when Taizu became a commoner, he fought in the country and fought dozens of fierce battles between all and all, and then he drove out the Tartar slaves and restored the clothes of the Han people.

From then on, the capital of Nanjing was established, and it was famous and surrendered to all over the world.

And Father, you are the successor appointed by Emperor Taizu and the throne that Emperor Taizu personally helped him.

This is by no means comparable to the ruthless king, who has no king or father.

The second generation of Qin and Sui Dynasty died. The Taizu killed too much for Zhu Ming, and almost no important officials in the founding country were spared.

So much so that after King Yàn rebelled, no one was available to his father...

Since ancient times, the Central Plains dynasty have believed in governing the world with filial piety. It is wrong for younger generations to talk about elders. What's more, Zhang Fan directly admitted that Jianwen lost the world, and Zhu Yuanzhang also made a contribution.

This is a bit rude.

Even though Emperor Jianwen had been hiding for more than 20 years, and was used to life, death, honor and disgrace, and his concentration was transcendent, he couldn't help but tremble his face.

But I still didn't say anything...

Because he knew in his heart that this was the fact.

Although I never want to admit it, I often dream about it at midnight. Every decision and every cause and effect of that year was played back over and over again in my mind. What decisions were proved wrong and what decisions were correct...

But there is no medicine for regret in this world, and time never goes back.

When the son-in-law learned about his life experience, he resolutely abandoned the darkness and turned to the light.

Zhang Fan suddenly increased his voice and speeded up his speech to show his decision: When he was on the rise, there were only a hundred soldiers, only ten guns, and only a few generals. After dozens of bloody battles and fierce battles, now there are 100,000 soldiers and more than a hundred generals. Huguang and Jiangxi have already taken over my hands.

In the battle of Jiujiang, the elite troops of the puppet dynasty lost more than half of their losses and almost no more power to fight.

It can be seen that I was still in Jianwen Dynasty and the people’s hearts were still there!

My son obeyed the will of heaven and ordered the ministers to supervise hundreds of warships a few months ago. A hundred thousand troops went downstream soon and conquered Nanjing in one day!

When Zhang Fan said this, his eyes looked at Emperor Jianwen with a gentle and firm look: Then, we can go home!

Maybe it was Zhang Fan's words that we can go home.

Perhaps it was because of the fact that I had buried my name for more than 20 years, and I never thought that there would be someone who turned over and the day I would go back to Nanjing.

The dream of Nanjing, which has gradually blurred, seems to be alive again.

Emperor Jianwen walked out of his memories with difficulty, looked at Zhang Fan, wanting to hear clearly what he wanted to say.

My son begs to ask my father to lead the army in person. If my father is kind enough, my son promises that in the next 15th day of the dynasty, my father and my son will still drink and chat in the hall like now, not in the Chu Palace, but in...

In the imperial palace in Nanjing!

It seemed as if a lightning bolt hit Emperor Jianwen, and he saw his whole body trembling, as if he didn't expect that this day in his dream would come so quickly and so suddenly.

He promised in an uncontrollable tone: You can call yourself alone that day.

After saying goodbye to the emperor, Zhang Fan and a group of officials came to the cabinet and said to the gathering of civil and military officials, right-hand man: Do as planned!

As the orders were conveyed layer by layer, the entire Wuchang City began to become noisy.
