On the Taiwan side, Kong Tai also made corresponding arrangements after receiving Lu Feng's secret report. For example, he sent people to Beijing to bribe Zhang Yong, Gu Dayong and other eunuchs and ask them to help Wang speak.

Of course, the bribe was in the name of "Friend Wang", not in the name of Beihai State. In the past few years, Kong Tai has been on the side of the Ming Dynasty, relying on a lot of money, and has attracted a lot of manpower. In addition to scholars like Lu Feng, Kong Tai also recruited a lot of chickens and dogs under the instruction of Ma Lin to help him deal with some shady things. Of course, Comté is hidden behind the scenes. These chickens and dogs are thieves, one level at the same time, and several levels down, and the people who perform the task will never know that their general backstage is Kong Tai, a foreigner.

This time he bribed Zhang Yong, Gu Dayong and other great eunuchs who were still reused by Emperor Zhengde, and Kong Tai planned to use those roosters and dog thieves to give gifts to several great eunuchs through the professional brokers of Jingshi. It doesn't take much, ten thousand taels of silver can be used. After all, the other tigers of the "Zhengde Eight Tigers" have not been as powerful as Liu Jin, and their appetite is not as big as Liu Jin.

And for Kong Tai, the big man who controls the import trade of Beihai Country, spending tens of thousands of taels of silver is a trivial matter. Anyway, he didn't have to pay for the money out of his own pocket.

And the reason why he wanted to help Wang speak was also to let the matter of Wang burn the boat pass quickly, so as not to attract the attention and accountability of Zhengde. After all, if Zhengde engages in ships, it will affect the interests of the Beihai Kingdom.

Kong Tai's men and horses could not use the Ming Dynasty post station system, so the speed of going to Jingshi was slower. Within a few days, Wang's messenger arrived in Beijing and sent the "Eight Hundred Miles Expedited" report to the cabinet.

Liang Chu, the first assistant of the cabinet, and Jiang Mian, Mao Ji, and others, who were the auxiliary ministers of the cabinet, were taken aback after opening the chapter. As a matter of fact, in the past few months, the cabinet has basically received urgent reports for help from the coastal areas that have been built every few days, and some time ago it also received urgent reports from the coastal areas of Jiangsu and Zhejiang. Therefore, the cabinet has been anxious about this matter for a long time these days.

In order to shirk responsibility, the urgent reports in various places without exception exaggerated the strength and "invincibility" of the Portuguese, and asked the imperial court to send a large army to encircle and suppress them.

But the problem is that these Portuguese always change places with one shot, and do not stay in one place for a long time, which brings great difficulties to the mobilization of soldiers and horses in the Ming court.

Therefore, these days, the three auxiliary ministers of the cabinet, Liang Chu, Jiang Mian and Mao Ji, are having a headache about the affairs of the Portuguese. Moreover, because of the exaggeration of the emergency reports in the coastal areas of the two provinces, the Ming court also decided that it would be difficult for the "Francophiles" to defeat.

At the moment, even Emperor Zhengde, who had been preparing for a decisive battle with the Mongols, had set his sights on the southeast coast. However, Emperor Zhengde doesn't seem to know much about water warfare. Otherwise, they would have been shouting that they would have led troops to assess the "Frankie Pirates".

But just when the Ming court was a little helpless against the "elusive" Portuguese fleet, the good news suddenly came, saying that the Portuguese had been defeated, and 19 enemy ships had been burned...... Isn't this a lie about the military situation?

The first reaction of the three cabinet elders was that Wang lied about the military situation, but they also knew that although Wang was not so pedantic, he was not the kind of villain who was too talkative. So, they are a little skeptical.

However, Wang also said that he had captured 3,351 yellow-haired ghosts and was preparing to escort the Beijing division and hold a "prisoner sacrifice ceremony" to boost the prestige of the Ming Dynasty.

Maybe the burning of the ship can be lied about, anyway, the ship is gone, and it can be talked nonsense. However, more than 3,000 ghosts can't be faked. After all, the appearance of the ghost is very different from that of the Central Plains, and it is difficult to pretend. Therefore, it is 80% true.

Thinking of this, Liang Chu and the three of them were suddenly excited. Moreover, it feels like there is an honor. After all, it was a great victory for their tenure. As the three most senior civil leaders of the imperial court, they will also get a high evaluation of "good leadership", and they can be regarded as being able to gain popularity and share a lot of credit.

Moreover, Wang is very face-raising for the civil service class this time! This is not a great victory led by military generals, but Wang used the unique strategy of civil officials to break the Franco. Therefore, this great victory is also a victory for the civil service class, which proves the rationality of the civilian bureaucracy's control of the world......

The three of them were not at ease, so in the afternoon they asked the messenger who had rested for half a day to come to the cabinet and inquire about the matter in person. The messenger had been instructed a long time ago, and naturally according to the "script" given by Wang, he depicted the thrilling battle......

After hearing this, the three pavilion elders couldn't help but be fascinated and sighed greatly......

"Jingzhi (Jiang Mianbiao Zi Jingzhi), Weizhi (Mao Ji Biaozi Weizhi), I really didn't expect this Wang Xuanzhi (Wang) to be so resourceful and able to come up with such a strange trick to break the Franc Machine!"

Jiang Mian stroked his beard and said:

"It's not that he Wang Xuanzhi pioneered this method of fire attack, in the Three Kingdoms dialect book in the market, there is a plot of 'burning Chibi'. This Wang Xuanzhi is also learning and using this method to fight against the Franc warship, but he is also a good talent! ”

Liang Chu and Mao Ji both nodded, agreeing with Jiang Mian's statement. But Mao Ji added:

"Having said that, so many officials in the Ming Dynasty and so many officials in Jianjian have probably heard the commentary of the Three Kingdoms, but no one else can come up with such a clever plan. It can be seen that this Wang Xuanzhi is also a talent! ”

"That makes sense!" Liang Chu and Jiang Mian nodded repeatedly.

"Since this great victory is true, let's hurry to the leopard room to report to Your Majesty!" Liang Chu proposed.

Jiang Mian and Mao Ji both frowned, however, considering such a big event, it was not appropriate not to report it to the emperor. So, the two reluctantly followed behind Liang Chu, left the Forbidden City, and went to the Leopard Room, Emperor Zhengde's private pleasure place in the northwest of the imperial city, to report this great victory.

And when the three auxiliary ministers arrived, they heard a loud shout from Zhengde inside:

"Big cat (Zhengde's name for a certain tiger), bite big black (the name of a certain black bear)!"

After a while, Zhengde shouted again:

"Big black, shoot the big cat to death!"

Obviously, in the leopard room, a fierce tiger and bear battle is being held, and Zhengde, one moment cheers for the tiger, and the other supports the black bear......

The three auxiliary ministers were helpless, but Liang Chu had a straightforward personality, so he ignored Zhengde Zaixing's head and shouted directly outside the door:

"Your Majesty, Liangguang is a good news!"

The voice in the courtyard suddenly became quieter, and after a while, Zhengde's impatient voice came:

"Urgent report, urgent report, these days, how many days do not come to report urgently? Liang Ge Lao, you look at it and deal with it! Obviously, Zhengde listened to the "good news" as an "urgent report" for help.

"Your Majesty, it's not an 'urgent report', it's a 'good news' of a great victory! The two Guangzhou sailors broke the Franc fleet, and there was good news, please Your Majesty! Liang Chu said loudly.

Now Zhengde finally became interested, he didn't care about the tiger and bear fight, and ran out of the door excitedly, saying:

"Really? The two Guangzhou sailors defeated the Francophone fleet? Isn't this a lie about the military? These days, I've heard mostly bad news! ”

As a martial emperor, it's strange that he can be in a good mood when he hears bad news every day. Therefore, after going down today, Zhengde came directly to the leopard room to have fun, ignoring the things in the palace. And the leopard room is no longer in the palace, but in the northwest of the imperial city, so naturally I didn't know the good news for the first time.

But no matter what, Zhengde is still an emperor with an online IQ. I was also very excited to hear the "good news". So, he ran out excitedly and took the good news from Liang Chu and read it......
