Chapter 634: The Pure Prince
Zhu Houzhao hurriedly replied: "Don't be afraid, kill him." β
Simple and brutal.
It's good to be killed.
This is very good-looking.
And Fang Jifan came back with the news: "I can't win, there are too many people." β
Person...... It's a lot.
Those who know the times are Junjie.
Fang Jifan was in this telegraph room, Xiao Jing was not in a hurry with dozens or hundreds of Dongchang's fans, just outside, waiting quietly, Xiao Jing smiled, no matter what you do, you can't escape from the palm of our hand.
Fang Jifan stood up when there were too many people.
This thing is very difficult to use, and although it can work if it is set up at a distance of 100 zhang, it is a fool's dream if you want to apply it on a large scale.
First of all, copper is the currency of the Ming Dynasty, and it wants to lay a large number of wires to connect various places, which is too great for copper. The emperor gave gold at one time, but it was only a few hundred catties, and this thing, even if it was just from Tongzhou to Jingshi, I am afraid that after refining, hundreds of thousands of catties of refined copper with impurities removed would not be able to afford it at all.
What's more, the battery is too primitive, and no matter how complex the battery is, it involves real professional knowledge, which Fang Jifan can't have, barely relying on this little bit of electricity, playing back and forth for an hour or two, and then needing to re-manufacture the battery, which is too time-consuming.
And the real trouble lies in the fact that the hand-made transmitter, before the in-depth study of many aspects, may be able to maintain communication at a distance of 100 zhang, or even thousands of zhang, but if it is longer, Fang Jifan will not dare to guarantee it.
Before the completion of primary industrialization, this thing was more just a toy of Fang Jifan and Zhu Houzhao.
If you have money, go home and build one between Xishan and Donggong, communicate with each other, and quickly exchange information with each other.
Of course, the reason why he came up with this was that Fang Jifan had his own considerations.
The appearance of a novel thing is bound to arouse many people's thinking and curiosity, maybe now, there is no way to really explore the modern meaning of the telegraph, but as long as someone begins to think, open up many people's understanding of electricity and conductivity, there will always be someone standing on Fang Jifan's shoulders to make a telegram of real significance.
Fang Jifan's dynasty Xiao Jing was silly.
Xiao Jing was also happy: "Du Wei, long time no see." β
Fang Jifan said: "Yes, I haven't seen you for a long time, Gonggong Xiao, you miss me to death." β
"Haha." Xiao Jing said affectionately: "Yes, our family and Du Wei have always been unjust and innocent, haven't they always missed each other?" Okay, let's not say more, please go back to Beijing, Your Majesty has been waiting for the news of the crown prince and the governor. β
Fang Jifan said: "Your Majesty? β
Xiao Jing was a little gloating: "After I go back, the lieutenant will know." Oh, by the way, His Royal Highness the Prince, it's on the other side of this line, oops, you talk about you, even if you want to hide and seek, you have to hide a little, you have to connect this end of this line to that end, we, the governor of Dongchang, are sometimes very melancholy. Captain, it's not early, let's hurry up and go on the road with His Royal Highness the Prince. β
Fang Jifan said beautifully: "In the past few days, the minister has been inspecting the Tongzhou Grange with the prince, but I have been thinking about Your Majesty in my heart, and I am really grateful that Your Majesty still remembers the minister." There is a saying that the height of the temple is worried about the people; When I was in the middle of the court, I thought about the people in the field, and now in this field, I am thinking about Your Majesty all the time, which is really a contradiction. β
"Hehe......"
β¦β¦β¦β¦
The British Duke Zhang Mao and several lords were invited into the palace, and what was placed in front of them was also a map.
Here is a topographic map of Annam.
Emperor Hongzhi had a straight face, and he looked displeased.
Zhang Mao was a little weak-hearted, and cautiously glanced at Ma Wensheng, the secretary of the Ministry of War.
Ma Wensheng looked very aggrieved, uncle, why is it that my military department is unlucky, what did he do in his last life, the gentleman of the Hongzhi Dynasty, the secretary of the military department, is just one step away, he is a very human minister, and he is deeply trusted by His Majesty, but in the past two years, it has not been smooth.
Fang Jinglong had already led his troops into Annan.
The military department was already panicking.
His Majesty obviously blames the Ministry of War, and has not been able to come up with a charter so far.
But how can the military department take it, say that they will fight them, what is the military department, this is a very particular place, such a big thing, if you don't study it for a year and a half, what can you get?
Of course, Ma Wensheng did not dare to say that the vast majority of the troops within the military department were opposed to entering the army.
After all, Emperor Wen's precedent is just around the corner.
The loss is too great.
As for His Majesty, he summoned him, Zhang Mao and others and asked them to do only one thing.
Can the Ming Dynasty achieve a quick victory in the battle of Annam.
This is equivalent to the fact that the kings of ancient times have sent armies to attack the vassals, but the armies have been withdrawn, but they have also called the sorcerers for divination.
What kind of thing is this, the wood is already in the boat, what is the divination?
In Ma Wensheng's eyes, this is indeed similar to divination, on the battlefield, changing rapidly, the ghost knows if the Ming army will suffer a big defeat, this kind of thing, how to do it accurately.
But Emperor Hongzhi is very serious, he has accepted the fact of Zhenguo Mansion, although he wants to kill Zhu Houzhao, but no matter what, the business is important.
Emperor Hongzhi remembered that at that time, Fang Jifan and Zhu Houzhao were talking on the paper in Xishan, and these two guys had a plan to fight.
But...... Is this battle plan workable?
After all, Emperor Hongzhi didn't understand Ma Zheng, so he called the people he thought were talented and wanted to hear their opinions.
"Ladies and gentlemen, you look at ......" also thanks to Emperor Hongzhi's good temper, at this time his face was flat, holding a chess piece: "This chess is the preparation of the Japanese guard, Ningbo Beiwei all the way south, to here, this is the Qinghua City of Annam, which is the important place of Annam...... They took here, what do you think? β
Zhang Mao was silent.
Emperor Hongzhi looked at Ma Wensheng first, where did Ma Wensheng dare to say it, if it didn't work? He thought for a while: "Your Majesty, since Thanh Hoa is an important town, the people of Annam are bound to hold on, and the guards are very good at fishing, so is it possible that the landing operation is also invincible?" Yes, Bei Wei is to eliminate the Japanese and make great contributions, but the Japanese are not Annan people after all, not to mention, once they land on the shore, if they fall into the encirclement of the Annan people, they can't advance and retreat, what will happen? The minister was very worried about this, this was too risky. β
Emperor Hongzhi frowned: "What are the chances of winning?" β
Ma Wensheng said: "There is a cloud in the art of war, and there is nothing wrong with the dangerous moves of soldiers, after all, how much risk there is, how much benefit there is." But Your Majesty has thought about it, since there is such a big risk, can you really stand firm in the guards? The minister thought otherwise, but if he wanted to come, at most, there would be only two or three percent. β
Emperor Hongzhi looked at Zhang Mao again.
Zhang Mao said in his heart, the minister is a bow horse, not a boat technique, the whole Ming Dynasty, can not find a few people who are good at water warfare, how long has the Ming Dynasty been open to the sea, His Majesty asked the minister, how to answer the minister.
He felt that it was still conservative: "The minister probably thought that there was only a chance of winning two or three percent." β
Emperor Hongzhi said: "Next ......"
To a certain extent, Emperor Hongzhi still has some confidence in Zhu Houzhao and Fang Jifan, if he doesn't believe in his son, can he still not believe in his son-in-law?
But...... Hearing the uncertain tones of Ma Wensheng, Zhang Mao and others, Emperor Hongzhi's heart hung again.
But at this time, a eunuch came in a hurry: "Your Majesty, the crown prince and the concubine are all lieutenants Fang Jifan, and they have returned to Beijing." β
"Okay!" Emperor Hongzhi is like a powder keg that has been ignited, I was going to say that he came back just right, and it didn't take much effort to step on the iron shoes and find nowhere to get them!
But then, I thought that there were foreign ministers here, so I still didn't want people to see jokes.
"Oh, are they back?" Let them come into the palace to see them, for I have not seen them for many days, and I am very worried. β
"The slave obeys."
β¦β¦β¦β¦
Ma Wensheng and Zhang Mao glanced at each other and were silent.
Zhang Mao said: "If Your Majesty summons the prince, will the ministers retire?" β
Emperor Hongzhi waved his hand: "No need, Qing is here for inquiries." β
Zhang Mao looked helpless and simply stayed.
A moment later, Zhu Houzhao and Fang Jifan came.
Zhu Houzhao bowed down: "The son has seen his father. β
Fang Jifan said: "The minister has seen Your Majesty, the minister has been thinking about Your Majesty every day in the past few days, and Your Majesty usually teaches ...... earnestly
Emperor Hongzhi pressed his hand: "You two, where did you go?" β
Zhu Houzhao said embarrassedly: "I went to Tongzhou." β
Emperor Hongzhi pulled his face: "The dignified prince, leaving Beijing without permission and going to Tongzhou, don't you know the truth that the son of a daughter can't sit down?" Go to Tongzhou, what is the so-called? β
"Yes...... It's ......"
Emperor Hongzhi's face became colder and colder, and he snorted coldly: "The Zhenguo Mansion has done a great thing, and the entire court is in the dark, but what about you, but you are mobilizing troops and horses without authorization, what do you want?" What, are the wings stiff? β
Zhu Houzhao said: "The son is the prince, this is what the son should do." β
Emperor Hongzhi never imagined that Zhu Houzhao would retort: "So far, you still don't admit your mistake?" β
"Then what about you, Fang Qing's family, have you pleaded guilty?"
Fang Jifan thought to himself, confess and be lenient, and sit in prison, I am not stupid.
Fang Jifan said righteously: "Your Majesty, the minister has grievances. Annan country, has always disobeyed the king's land, arrogant, bold and reckless, these things, both Chinese and foreign, when the minister reads, this book says, the whole world is not the king's land, the coast of the land is not the king's land; Your Majesty is ordered by heaven, but he is the son of heaven, this black and white, it is always right. It is said in the book that there are no two days in the sky, and there are no two masters in people, but King Annan also calls himself the emperor, Your Majesty, which is different from what is said in the book. Isn't Your Majesty angry at their actions? The civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty are all educated, and there are countless Confucians who have studied ancient and modern times, and they understand this truth better than their ministers, haven't they heard of the matter of Annan? β
"But...... Your Majesty, why have the Annan people flaunted their military might for decades, and everyone learned the truth in the book, but no one stood up and told the Annan people that their good days were over, because they had committed the greatest taboo in the world. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, I have been reading lately, and the more books I read, the more I understand the truth, His Royal Highness is reading while looking at what happened in Annan, which is different from what is said in the book, and I dare to ask Your Majesty, is what is written in the book right, or is it right that the people of Annan are right? Now the prince is doing what he says in the book, and His Majesty actually blames the prince for being rude, well, the minister and the prince, they all confess their guilt, blame only the prince, the prince and the minister, too stupid and naΓ―ve, actually believe in the evil of the sage Confucius and the sages in the book, and listen to their nonsense, the minister...... Ten thousand deaths. β
β¦β¦β¦β¦
Let's think about the plot today, no more, starting tomorrow, five more.
