Chapter 504: Choosing the Right Time
After listening to Zhang Fan's words of consolation, although Yang Bo understood very well that this was just Zhang Fan's words to comfort him, he was still very grateful to Zhang Fan, but at this time, Yang Bo did realize that he was indeed a little too presumptuous just now.
Even if this method was used by Feng Bao at the beginning, but what does it matter, Feng Bao has not applied for a "patent" that does not exist in this era, nor has he released a word, others are not allowed to use the method he used, besides, the history of the land of China for 5,000 years, whether it is the court or the people, the situation of intrigue is everywhere and all the time, Feng Bao's method will definitely not be the first one he has used.
Yang Bo understood that because of the last Minister Wang incident just now, he had already planted a lingering disgust for Feng Bao in his heart, and it was this feeling that made him act rashly and confused his mind, and at the same time, he couldn't see clearly which was more important than the matter, which would become like this.
Now, after Zhang Fan's words, it can be regarded as enlightening words, and he has already figured it out, since they are all using strategies, why should they be entangled in who came up with the strategy, and, no matter what, Feng Bao is now an official eunuch who is an official in the same dynasty as him, and the two of them are still colleagues, even if the two have become the kind of enemies who fight to the death, then the enemy's strategy is not more worthy of reference.
And Zhang Fan's side, after Yang Bo's guidance, it was also a sudden opening, Zhang Fan can remember everything he has experienced in the past, it is not impossible for him to come up with such a solution, and it can even be said to be very easy, but now, Zhang Fan is worried about what kind of impact he is going to do, these things annoy him, so that he forgot how to act for a while, and now after Yang Bo's guidance, he has also sorted out his thoughts.
"In that case," Zhang Fan said to Yang Bo, "I'll prepare for this matter,"
"So anxious," Yang Bo couldn't help but say when he saw Zhang Fan in such a hurry, "Now, these muskets have not been manufactured, and there is no trace of these eight characters, what are you doing in such a hurry, and if you are ready now, after the performance, in case the Empress Dowager Li immediately agreed, and immediately filmed the army to go to Jiangnan, but after waiting for a long time, no Japanese came to come, wouldn't it be asking for trouble?"
"This ......" Yang Bo's words made Zhang Fan, who was now impatient, also come back to his senses, this is indeed the case, after all, before this, Zhang Fan had been thinking about how to make Empress Dowager Li agree, but he had never considered the situation in case Empress Dowager Li agreed immediately.
It's not impossible to think like this, after all, Empress Dowager Li is also a woman in the end, and the woman is in power, what she wants is not the prosperity of the Han and Tang dynasties, but more of the peace of the world, if you want to be peaceful, you naturally have to take precautions against many things, so once Zhang Fan said that there might be a problem of Japanese robbers in Jiangnan, Empress Dowager Li didn't ask, and even agreed to send troops to Jiangnan to garrison without Zhang Fan taking out any evidence, so Zhang Fan was very embarrassed, At that time, Zhang Fan may no longer care about whether the Japanese will come, but will hope that the Japanese can appear as soon as possible, otherwise he will really be guilty of bullying the king.
Thinking about it this way, the encounters and changes in life are really too drastic, even a little breathless, it is really too amazing, but for Zhang Fan, no, for many people, they are very unaccustomed to this kind of wonder, they would rather be so steady and steady, but not everything is so rapid change.
In short, now Zhang Fan has made up his mind.
"Lord Yang," Zhang Fan finally said to Yang Bo, "Those musket matters are still bothering Lord Yang,"
"I know about this matter," Yang Bo nodded at Zhang Fan and said, "I will immediately write a document for the Ministry of Industry to make muskets, as long as it is good, I will immediately send someone, no, I will go in person, and go to the Ministry of Industry with the holy decree and documents,"
"Well, Lord Yang is really thoughtful," Zhang Fan said, "This matter has to be bothered by Lord Yang himself, after all, it is not appropriate to publicize a major event at this time, and the fewer people who know, the better,"
"Well, but ......" Yang Bo naturally agreed with Zhang Fan's words, but he still had to ask, "I don't know when Lord Zhang plans to sell these muskets to those Fusang daimyo, if it's too urgent, I naturally want to urge the Ministry of Industry,"
"This matter doesn't have to be too urgent, but it's not too late," Zhang Fan thought for a while and said, "If it's too impatient, it's not that I'm afraid that there will be any problems with the gun that is made, it's just that I'm afraid that in that case, it will alarm some people, if it is discovered by someone with a heart, it's not good to track it down and know about it, but this matter shouldn't be too delayed, after all, we're going to 'help' those Fusang people, if it's too procrastinating, it won't show our sincerity,"
"This ...... This is also true," Yang Bo heard Zhang Fan say this, and he couldn't react for a while, but he was not a stupid person, but he didn't understand what Zhang Fan meant for a while, or he didn't expect Zhang Fan to say this, but he thought about it in a blink of an eye, and after figuring out the situation, he also smiled.
Since he had already planned it, Zhang Fan said goodbye to Yang Bo and left Yang's mansion, but Zhang Fan did not go home, but went directly to the yamen and found his subordinates.
Even if this matter is even his own subordinates, Zhang Fan doesn't want to publicize it too much, except for the more than 100 factory guards who went to sea with Zhao Xiande and Wang Xiliang at that time, no one else knows, even the people who ran the boat under Zhao Xiande don't know, those people only know that they unloaded a batch of goods from the clothes after stopping the ship in Fusang, but the goods were tightly packaged, and they couldn't see what was inside at all, and those people thought it was just some ordinary things.
After Zhang Fan found Wang Meng, Liang Chao and Wang Xiliang, he told them the story of the matter, and the three of them were also very happy to hear that Zhang Fan had done the matter.
But then, after Zhang Fan mentioned to them what Fang Cai and Yang Bo said, he asked them to go and go back to replace the dead ghost to be the unlucky wolf, and several people were a little puzzled by this.
"My lord," Wang Meng was the first to speak, "Since the person has already discussed with Lord Yang and agreed with what Lord Yang said, this matter is not in a hurry, why do you want the lowly people to go to the substitute ghost immediately, isn't it a little too impatient?"
Several other people also nodded, obviously having the same questions in their hearts as Wang Meng.
"Asking you to find someone now doesn't mean that you have to take this matter into action right away," Zhang Fan said.
"What do you mean by ......" Obviously, these people didn't fully understand what Zhang Fan's words meant.
"I asked you to find someone first, in order to prepare early," Zhang Fan said, "It's not difficult to do this thing, the difficulty is how to grasp this time, if it's too late, even if the Queen Mother agrees, but the people sent are late, so that the people in Jiangnan will have any damage, it will not be good."
"But if I play too early, and the Queen Mother sends out an army early and long, but waits there for many days with nothing to do, how should I answer if the Queen Mother asks me?
"It's best to be able to, the army has just arrived in Jiangnan, just ready, those Japanese robbers are coming, so it's best, I don't have to explain, and even the queen mother will pay more attention to the affairs of the Japanese invaders,"
"But my lord......" Liang Chao said with a difficult face, "The inferior people also understand in their hearts that this kind of thing is naturally the best, but how can this kind of thing be done so accurately, you know, we are far away from Fusang, although if there is any news there, we can all know, but this time comes and goes, the time is much worse,"
The other two also nodded.
"I've naturally considered this," Zhang Fan said, "This matter naturally can't be done so accurately, but it can still be done without a big difference,"
"What do you mean ......," Wang Xiliang couldn't help asking.
"We just need to send people to transport those muskets to Fusang and play to the Empress Dowager Li," Zhang Fan said, "If you want to come there, plus the time of the war, it should be just right,"
"Well, what my lord said," Wang Meng said, "it's just that the batch of muskets we sold to Oda Nobunaga earlier, how can this be calculated?"
"It doesn't matter," Zhang Fan thought for a while and said, "After all, now, Oda Nobunaga is at a disadvantage, even if he loses any battle, there will be no stragglers who will escape and harm us, but when our batch of muskets is transported, although it is only the number of two or three thousand, but for that Fuso, it is extraordinary, and when that time comes, we must immediately play the Queen Mother,"
"My lord, I understand," the three of them said in unison.
"Well, then you can go and find someone for me now," Zhang Fan said, "It's best to go to the prison to find those death row inmates, but even if it is a death row inmate, if he is chosen, he must take good care of his family, remember, this matter is also a last resort, you can't just arrest people, wronged good people, but it will be in vain our original intention,"
"Your Excellency, please rest assured, I understand," the three of them said in unison again,
