Liu Jian felt that the world was spinning, and after his body trembled, he almost fell.

The destruction of the fleet was a major event, and the deaths and injuries of hundreds of people seemed to be a major event.

But in the Ming Dynasty, in fact...... It's another trifle.

Because the Ming Dynasty is still strong in the country after all, there are not a few sea ships, but as long as you are willing, you can build thirty or three hundred. What is the value of a few sea vessels?

The deaths and injuries of hundreds of people are just a drop in the ocean for tens of millions of households.

This kind of thing can actually be big or small, Da Li said, such a serious accident is enough to shake the government and the opposition, enough to cause His Majesty to be furious.

But to put it mildly, in the face of countless major events, it is actually not worth mentioning.

But what really made Liu Jian dizzy was one thing, and that was ...... All the materials that went to the West were turned into waste paper.

What a terrible thing that is.

The national policy of going to the West has been decided.

This is no longer changeable, in order to find the legendary good species, the Ming must go to the vast sea, follow the example of the Three Treasure Eunuchs of the past, and leave their footprints on countless seas and lands.

But...... There is no route, there is no hydrological information, then it is necessary to re-open up, the so-called seven voyages to the Western Ocean, in fact, is to open up the route again and again, the fleet is farther and farther each time, with the experience of the previous voyage to the Western Ocean, the next time, they can sail thousands of miles, and for the seven voyages to the Western Ocean, the imperial court has been preparing for decades, using countless manpower and material resources, and hundreds of thousands of people have requisitioned for it.

Without that, everything would have to start all over again, and it would take decades of hard work to reach the sea you had reached on your first voyage to the Western Ocean......

What is it?

This will be the blood and sweat of hundreds of people, and it will take the hard work of successive kings to create.

It's silver, it's food, it's manpower!

What the Cabinet does every day is to do the most with the least amount of money. Over the years, one province here, one province over the other!

And now, just because of this note, the imperial court has saved a hundred years of grain, and the little silver that was pulled out from the household department is afraid that it will not be enough to squander it next.

Liu Jian's face was miserable, he sat down dejectedly, and said in a sad voice: "You...... You've mistaken the old man. ”

Ma Wensheng's face was even paler as paper, and he didn't even dare to raise his head!

At this time, he must not shift the responsibility to his predecessor, he knows very well that the more he shirks the blame, the more disgusting it will be...... Gotta back.

Ma Wensheng said: "The petty official is dizzy, overwhelmed by the heavy responsibility, and has failed His Majesty's kindness. ”

Liu Jian glared at him viciously and said sharply: "Zhishi, Zhishi...... Do you think that if you are a scholar, you will be innocent? When you are a soldier, you can have peace of mind? What is the use of a Zhishi? This recital will be presented to Your Majesty immediately, and you should know what the result will be after Your Majesty sees this recital? The king is worried and humiliated! If you don't solve the current problems, you will return to your hometown to tease your grandchildren and live for the rest of your life? Negative picture, you just have a little heart, you are the ministry, not those officials and imperial history, not Liu Ke's science, what can you do when you say these useless words? How? If you come out in a way, you will be the secretary of the military department after all......"

Xie Qian and Li Dongyang can be regarded as understanding.

They never imagined that the original plan to go to the West would produce such a big moth at this time.

Many people have already begun to collect and distribute it, and the timber of many large ships has also begun to be harvested and embalmed, and countless money and grain have been allocated by the household department!

As a result, your military department told everyone that there is not even a navigation route now, and all the information, the customs and customs along the way, and all the hydrological data, have no clue.

Xie Qian, who was anxious, couldn't wait to find a knife to chop Ma Wensheng.

Xie Qian said angrily: "Didn't the military department swear at the beginning? Negative map, you don't have to joke, Nanzhili, Fujian Chengxuan political envoys, as well as Zhejiang, Guangdong, requisitioned more than 100,000 people to practice, build ships, and cut wood; There is also the money and food of the household department, which has been distributed, and it has been spent a lot, and now it is difficult to collect it when it is covered with water, which is all the money and food we save from between our teeth on weekdays. ”

How could Ma Wensheng not know the seriousness of the problem, he bit his lip, and his body trembled.

People who have reached his point have experience, Ma Wensheng managed Ma Zheng at the beginning, but he personally restrained those Qiu Ba in the border town, such a person, today to this point, he knows that the seriousness of the problem has completely exceeded his imagination, this responsibility, he can't afford it.

But at this moment......

"Yes!" Marven ascended suddenly.

"What?" Liu Jian and others glared at Ma Wensheng one after another.

Ma Wensheng actually wanted to cry very much, and even ...... He wanted to die.

At this point, he really wanted to die clean.

He took a deep breath before he said, "Have you forgotten?" There was also a fleet that went to the Western Ocean, and Fang Jifan's protégé ...... Xu Jing! ”

“……”

Xie Qian had already begun to search around, looking for a weapon to take advantage of.

"Ma Wensheng, Ma Wensheng, you are really ashamed of the court, what did you say at the beginning, you said that Xu Jing and these people are just messing around, is this what you said? It was you who was the ...... You keep saying that Xu Jingnai is a Hanlin Shujishi, and he only goes to a few broken boats, and it won't be long before he will return to the sea in disgrace, you still say...... That's it, don't talk about that! Okay, now you actually want to bet the entire Ming Dynasty, hundreds of thousands of manpower, countless money and food, and this national strength on just one Jishi and a few broken ships......"

"I ......" Ma Wensheng was speechless, he really felt like he picked up a boulder and hit his own feet.

But it seems that this is his last hope, otherwise...... He, the secretary of the military department, has really become a monstrous sinner.

Liu Jian was already lying on the chair, panting heavily, too lazy to speak.

But at this time, a eunuch outside hurriedly came and said, "Where are Duke Liu, Duke Xie, and Duke Li...... Your Majesty has a decree to summon you to the Warm Pavilion as soon as possible. ”

Liu Jian was stunned for a moment, but now he was not interested in anything, sighed, and said weakly: "It's time to see Your Majesty, let's go, go and see you." ”

He stood up with difficulty, then glanced at Ma Wensheng who was lying on the ground, shook his head and said, "Let Your Majesty adjudicate it, negative map, you can also enter the palace with us." ”

Ma Wensheng was silent and stood up, he had prepared for the worst.

………………

In the warm pavilion that is as warm as spring, Emperor Hongzhi is staring at Zhu Houzhao, in fact, this action has been maintained for a long time.

Zhu Houzhao's courage today is particularly fat, and he also glared at Emperor Hongzhi.

Fang Jifan's eyes were a little erratic, in fact, he was swaying in his heart, looking at Emperor Hongzhi and Zhu Houzhao, and finally decided not to get involved in their affairs.

Finally, Liu Jian and the others finally arrived.

Liu Jian and the others' faces were pale, and at first glance, they were in a very bad state, and Emperor Hongzhi also saw Ma Wensheng, and he couldn't help but sigh slightly: "How did Ma Qing's family come?" ”

Ma Wensheng bowed, gritted his teeth and said, "The minister is dead." ”

Emperor Hongzhi looked at Liu Jian with a puzzled expression.

Liu Jian said: "Quanzhou...... A report came, and I asked Your Majesty to take a look at it first. ”

Emperor Hongzhi was originally in a hurry to see Zhu Houzhao's documents, but when he saw the seriousness of the situation shown by Liu Jian and others, he immediately decided: "I will take a look." ”

The report was in the hands of Emperor Hongzhi, who opened it, only glanced at it, and then fell silent.

Emperor Hongzhi's face was obviously not good, and after half a sound, he suddenly looked at Fang Jifan and said, "Fang Jifan." ”

"The minister is here." Fang Jifan was confused.

Emperor Hongzhi said: "Not only are you a crow's mouth, but even your protégé Xu Jing is also a crow's mouth." ”

What?

Fang Jifan's heart was even more puzzled, and he couldn't help but say: "Your Majesty, although the minister's protégé Xu Jing is unbearable, among the minister's protégés, whether it is ability or morality, it is far inferior to the minister, but Your Majesty ...... Why blame him? He's still ...... Or ......"

Fang Jifan wanted to say that he was still a child, but if he thought about it carefully, no, this guy is thirty years old, and he can almost be his own father, and he is only a child.

So, Fang Jifan hurriedly changed his words: "He has a new career, I don't know what happened, and I ask Your Majesty to ......."

Emperor Hongzhi closed his eyes in pain and said, "What else can happen, the fleet of the military department has been destroyed." You and Xu Jing are right, the charts and documents left behind by the Three Treasures Eunuch have many mistakes, and they have no effect! In the matter of going to the West, I once issued 23 holy decrees, ordering the political envoys to recruit the people, ordering the household department to allocate money and grain, ordering the military department to transfer the backbone of the guards to practice, and ordering people to build ports in Quanzhou and Guangzhou, and now ......"

Emperor Hongzhi shook his head, and his face showed a bit of weakness, as if he had aged a few years all of a sudden.

The consequences are terrible.

The money was spent, and as a result, you told me that when you go to sea, the fleet of the Ming Dynasty will be blind and deaf, and you can't distinguish between the south, the south, the west, and the northwest, let alone find the legendary country, and you won't even have a sailing line, or even basic sailing experience.

"I ...... Should you say that you and Na Xu Jing are like gods, or should you say that you two can't spit out ivory in your mouth? ”

Fang Jifan thought for a while and said, "I hope it's the former. ”

In fact, the entire annihilation of the military fleet shocked Fang Jifan.

He didn't expect the consequences to be so serious.

There are problems with the route and hydrology left by the eunuch of Sanbao, he believes it, because he believes in Xu Jing, Xu Jing is a scumbag, that is also his protégé, he understands him, this guy is a little worse than his morality, he loves to mess with flowers and grass, and his knowledge is a little worse, in fact, ...... It's almost a qualified protégé.

But even if he chose to believe Xu Jing, what he never imagined was that the navigation data of the Ministry of War would be so wrong.

The fleet had only been out to sea for a short time before it was destroyed, and what a pitfall. Search for "CM" or enter the URL:.
