Prodigal Son of the Ming Dynasty

  Chapter 766 His Royal Highness Prince's Dream Comes True

  Fang Jifan personally sent Xu Jing to Tianjin Port.

  Outside the harbor, batches of ships were divided into seven teams, and one of them would go all the way south, along the southerly direction of Luzon, looking for a new continent.

  The remaining six teams headed west all the way.

  Xu Jing arrived at the pier, stopped, turned around, bowed down, and kowtowed: "Men, goodbye."

   "Go, go, keep your mission in mind and go deeper inland."

   "Students should remember the teacher's teachings."

  Fang Jifan smiled at him.

  Xu Jing cried, sucking his nose and standing up.

  Zhang Heling was a little embarrassed because no one saw him off, so he yelled at the lively crowd: "Don't give it away, don't give it away, there will be a period later."

  The crowd along the port was surging. Here, there were many relatives of military households. People waved at the big ships, and the young people were envious.

  Military households are too bitter.

  Many young people are unable to marry a daughter-in-law at all, because no one is willing to marry a military household, let alone their children become military households.

  This military household is almost equivalent to the private slaves of military officials.

  Their situation is even worse than that of ordinary tenants. The tenants often rent and plant the land, and after paying the rent, the rest may still be their own.

But the military households are different. The military officers in the guards occupy the most fertile fields, and what they are given is only three to five acres of bad land. As for the workers, the bad fields that the military households were allotted to themselves were simply not enough to eat.

  Even in a good year, they can't get enough to eat, and their lives are like ants.

   Now, being able to go to sea, even if they die, is many times better than starving here.

   Xu Jing boarded the boat weeping, and Zhang Heling followed in embarrassment. Seeing that Xu Jing's eyes were red: "Your mentor sent you off, smiling so happily, and you still crying, why doesn't he cry?"

   "You don't understand." Xu Jing choked up slightly: "Men is a cold-hearted person, he doesn't move, but he is afraid that I will be even more sad."

  Zhang Heling only sneered: "Hehe...I was sold and returned the money to the number."

   Then he ignored Xu Jing, but his eyes were shining.

The size of Daming's fleet is getting bigger and bigger. More than 20,000 people will land on the Golden Continent, and then infiltrate the inland of the Golden Continent. They will build coastal areas nearby and build strongholds one by one. They are getting closer and closer to Jinshan. Yeah, come to think of it, it's really exciting.

  I, Zhang Heling, sooner or later, will be as rich as a country!

   Facing the sea breeze, Zhang Heling was very excited as he watched the sails swell.

  …

   "Master, drink tea." Fang Jifan came to the East Palace.

  After returning from Tianjin Wei, Fang Jifan went to the East Palace. As soon as Liu Jin saw Fang Jifan, he enthusiastically cooked a teacup and served the tea.

Fang Jifan looked at Liu Jin, took out a small mirror that he carried with him, and took a look at his handsome face... Ah, I am still very young, and I have become a grandfather so soon. I am a little embarrassed, why my face is so red, because I, Fang Jifan ...Thin-skinned.

   "My dear grandson, don't be so polite." Fang Jifan hugged the teacup: "Where is the prince?"

   "Your Highness is looking at the map." Liu Jin said with a smile.

   "Map?" Fang Jifan was stunned: "What do you do with the map?"

"Ah, the **** didn't know? Hexi, a group of Tatars are heading towards Hexi, and Hexi is in a hurry." Liu Jin said: "After His Highness found out, he has been thinking about the map every day, saying yes... saying yes... You must take command in person and beat those Tartars to pieces in Hexi. He also said that you should not be passive when dealing with the Tartars. You must use sharp knives to sharpen them like the champions of the past. The Tartars can escape into the desert. Let's Ming The iron cavalry can also enter the desert, let the Tatars know the pain, so that they... will never have peace."

   "..." Fang Jifan was a little confused: "Is he still awake from the dream?"

  Hexi…

  Fang Jifan had just returned from Tianjin Wei, but he did not expect that at this time, the Tatars would attack Hexi.

   This is wrong.

Hexi is not an important strategic place for the Tatars. There are mostly narrow and long valleys, which are not suitable for large-scale cavalry operations. This is why Fang Jifan felt relieved to emigrate. As long as there are minerals, a large number of people can go to Hexi, Tatars It is impossible for people to be there, there will be large-scale military operations, at most, it will be a tug-of-war with Daming.

   Moreover, last time Nayanda Khan suffered a big loss, dare to come now?

   While Fang Jifan was in a daze, suddenly, he thought of something, something was wrong.

If it were in history, if Emperor Hongzhi passed away, it would be the first year of Zhengde. In this year, the Tatars attacked Datong on a large scale. The reason is very simple. A huge snowstorm came in the desert. A snowstorm killed a large number of Tartar livestock in one winter.

  According to the habits of previous years, the Tatars will definitely attack aggressively during the snowstorm, because...if they don't plunder quickly, they won't survive this winter at all.

Because of this, in history, the Tatars will have a big battle this year. This battle is very fierce. In order to plunder and survive, the Tatars will fight against Ming Dynasty on the front line of Datong Pass for several months. offensive.

  Fang Jifan slapped his forehead: "Damn it, the Tatars' goal is not Hexi at all, but Datong. Hexi is just a way to deceive people. What about the prince, call the prince."

  How dare Liu Jin neglect her.

   This is my grandfather.

  He has to listen to what Grandpa says.

  Since having a godfather, Liu Jin feels at home.

  He hurriedly called Zhu Houzhao.

  Zhu Houzhao was sweating profusely. It turned out that after reading the map, he went to ride a horse.

  He came back out of breath: "Old Fang, I have some good news for you. The Tatars are here and they are going to Hexi. I have asked my father to go to Hexi. Guess what?"

  Zhu Houzhao looked at Fang Jifan with a smile, looking very excited.

  Fang Jifan laughed: "Your Majesty gave you a slap in the face."

  Zhu Houzhao's face collapsed: "Why are you more annoying than Zhang Yong?"

   "..." Zhang Yong... What happened to Zhang Yong?

  Fang Jifan looked dazed: "Does Zhang Yong hate it?"

  Zhu Houzhao sneered: "He thought I didn't know about this bastard, but the **** scolded me behind his back. I've sent him to the cesspit of reason, and I will never see him again."

  Fang Jifan gasped, and subconsciously glanced at Liu Jin.

   Liu Jin was smiling, and this smile... made my hair stand on end.

  This grandson...

   Really Yin.

  Fang Jifan knew it was Liu Jin's masterpiece without even thinking about it. If this grandson wasn't his own grandson, Fang Jifan really wanted to slap him a few times.

  After Zhu Houzhao finished speaking, he patted Liu Jin on the shoulder: "Fortunately, Liu Ban came back with him, otherwise, I really wouldn't even have a caring person by my side."

   Liu Jin said honestly and honestly: "Your Highness, don't say that. In fact, Eunuch Zhang was just confused for a while. Your Highness has a lot, so why bother with him? After all, he has served His Highness for so many years. He has no credit, but hard work."

Zhu Houzhao glared at him: "Fuck your mother! You think I don't know, you and Zhang Yong have a good relationship, so you speak for him everywhere, but Zhang Yong is a traitor, he is just a white-eyed wolf who is not familiar with him, and he is rarely seen in front of Bengong. Mention this thief again!"

   Liu Jin said with an aggrieved face: "Yes, yes."

  Fang Jifan looked at Zhu Houzhao, this bastard, and that expression again, as if he was looking at a mentally retarded person.

Zhu Houzhao then looked at Fang Jifan: "Let's be serious. Your Majesty saw that I was sincere, and he was right. However, I made it clear in advance that I was not allowed to leave Lanzhou, and I was only allowed to sit in Lanzhou to supervise the battle. Lao Fang, the father has changed. Ah, I am willing to let Bengong take charge at the beginning."

  Fang Jifan did not expect this point either.

   Actually...agreed.

  Your Majesty, what kind of medicine did you take wrongly?

  Fang Jifan thought about it carefully: "Your Highness, could it be because Your Highness gave birth to a grandson?"

"What do you mean?" Zhu Houzhao shook his head: "Forget it, I'm too lazy to talk about this, now I'm thinking about how to defeat the Tatars, Lao Fang, we have to agree that you can't accompany me on this trip to Lanzhou, I will take your disciples and grandchildren to go, and I will choose some brave cavalry from the East Palace to go with me, lest every time I go, I will defeat the Tatars, and the credit will fall on you. I am familiar with soldiers and horses, and I am not inferior to you , took you there, I have no credit for it."

  Lanzhou...

  Fang Jifan's expression changed when he heard this, and he shook his head: "Your Highness invites me to go, but I still don't go."

  This is the truth. Fang Jifan went to Lanzhou in his last life. There was a writer there who claimed to be handsome all the time, the one who wrote about the Great Doctor*Ran, but in fact, he was nothing but handsome.

  Fang Jifan shook his head: "I don't plan to go either."

"That's all right." Zhu Houzhao said excitedly: "Let's make a deal. I'm really gone. Don't miss me. Anyway, the portraits of me are all over Xishan. When will you miss me? Look at the painting, you can understand the feeling of longing."

  Fang Jifan nodded like a chicken pecking at rice: "Your Highness, let's go, take care of my grandson."

  Zhu Houzhao frowned: "Something is wrong, why did you and father agree so happily. Is there any trap?"

Fang Jifan quickly shook his head: "No, no, His Highness the Crown Prince is handsome and has both civil and military skills. From a distance, his face is radiant, and there is a faint halo on his head that appears and disappears. His Highness is a very lucky person. , When we arrived in Lanzhou, those damned Tatars were frightened upon hearing the news. Hearing His Highness’s reputation, they were afraid that they would pee their pants in fear. Your Highness, in my heart, there is only endless sympathy and worry for the Tatars, nothing else.”

  Zhu Houzhao suddenly felt a dull feeling, and muttered to himself in a low voice.

  Obviously...he thought that Fang Jifan, like his father, would try his best to stop him, but who knows, it seems...everyone is looking forward to getting out of the capital as soon as possible.

  Why is it different from what I expected?

   Could it be... hell?

  Zhu Houzhao... I can't understand it.

  Liu Jin was beside him foolishly. He liked to be by the side of the crazy Zhu Houzhao. When His Highness was foolish, he was really happy to watch.

  …

   Ask for a monthly pass. and also.
