Recently, Zhang Fan has started to worry again.

There is no other reason, there is news in the southwest, the news that has come over, for the imperial court, it is really great news, this time, the battle against the servants, it can really be described as a big victory, Liu Xian is worthy of being the famous general of the Ming Dynasty, and the ability to lead the troops is not to say, this time, he led 140,000 officers and soldiers to the so-called "flying into the suppression" of the servants, which is indeed worthy of his name.

140,000 Han troops, in the face of more than 100,000 servants, if it was placed in the past, even before the war, it was impossible to say that the Han army would inevitably win, after all, it was the southwest, there were many ethnic minorities, although the disputes were never less, but the Han people never put them in their eyes, so the army over there, the combat effectiveness was not strong, if it was the border army in the northern Xinjiang, let alone 140,000, even if it was an equal number of 100,000, Even if there are 100,000 or 80,000 or 60,000 people who are less than them, it is not a problem at all to win against the 100,000 army of the servants.

However, this kind of thinking is unrealistic, that is to say, Liu Xian led the 140,000 Han army to fight the 100,000 army of the enemy, and it is a very remarkable thing in itself, not to mention, it is still a big victory now.

In this battle, the 140,000 troops of the imperial court, the number of dead is less than 10,000, and the number of wounded is only 20,000, although a total of 30,000 casualties sounds like a lot, but this kind of thing always depends on who the opponent is.

Although Liu Xian himself is not happy about this result, after all, there are 10,000 people who will never be able to stand up again, and they will never see their own relatives again, which is definitely the thing that makes Liu Xian feel the most sad, but in fact, it doesn't matter how Liu Xian looks at this matter, how the important court looks at it, and now, for the court, this victory is definitely worthy of praise.

Of course, this is just for the imperial court, in fact, it is one thing whether the imperial court commends or not, and Zhang Fan does not have too many feelings about this matter.

He also knows the news about the servant, although he doesn't know how the people of later generations will evaluate this matter, and he doesn't know what kind of feelings the people of later generations will have about the demise of such a nation, but Zhang Fan understands one thing, the demise of the servant actually has many irreversible factors.

Now, the victory of the imperial court has made many famous people living under the rule of the Ming Dynasty have made a voice, and the impact of this matter is very great, so it didn't take much time for the world to spread, and for other ethnic minorities, the servants who have been serious for thousands of years, such powerful servants, actually died out overnight, and can only be seen in other people's mouths or books in the future, this kind of thing is indeed a shock for other peoples.

No, it's not so much a shock as a deterrent, and now, other nations have also become soldiers, and everyone is in danger, especially those who always like to oppose the court in the past.

At the same time, Zhang Fan also received a rumor, which is spread in many places, although the content is different, but there is actually only one meaning, the general meaning is that the reason why the servants will rebel against the Ming Dynasty is because they raised the flag to revolt in order to resist the tyranny of the powerful and the Ming court's harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes.

It sounds very heroic and righteous, it seems that all the righteousness is on the side of the servant, and then the Ming court played an extremely evil role, in short, the whole thing sounds, it is simply that the Ming court is a dark and tyrannical dynasty, extremely oppressing the minorities under his rule, and the servant is dedicated to the cause of justice.

But Zhang Fan, who understands what is going on, knows what is going on, about this matter, maybe others will look at it this way, after all, this kind of thing sounds like this is really the case, but Zhang Fan understands that it is not like this at all.

Why can Zhang Fan say so sure, he is not because he is an official of the Ming Dynasty, so he wants to defend the Ming court, the reason why Zhang Fan thinks so is completely objective, because, the servants are not within the scope of the Ming Dynasty's taxation at all, whether it is because the servants have no fixed residence, or their resistance to the Ming Dynasty, in short, the Ming Dynasty has never collected a penny of tax from the servants in the two hundred years since its founding.

As for the oppression of Haoqiang, with the character of a servant, if this situation had been encountered, he would have rushed forward with a knife, where would there still be Haoqiang who dared to oppress them.

The problem between the servants and the Ming court, the most important thing is the problem caused by the long-term irreconcilable contradictions between the local servants and the Han people, and back then, Wang Hao killed countless leaders of the servants in the name of appeasement, which was the fuse, which directly led to the nearly century-long struggle between the servants and the Ming court, and finally, finally led to the demise of the servants.

Of course, there are many people in the court who understand what is going on, but no one has ever said it, and no one intends to release the news and tell the world, after all, this kind of thing, it is enough to understand it yourself, for the imperial court, they have no obligation to tell others what is going on, and more importantly, for the imperial court, many people understand that this kind of thing cannot be done, and it is like defending themselves for something, but they are putting themselves in a disadvantageous place.

However, these things are no longer important to Zhang Fan, what Zhang Fan needs to worry about now is not the problem of servants, but what he needs to do after this war, although the Empress Dowager Li did not tell anyone what she thought, and even Zhang Fan, who planned the whole thing with her, Empress Dowager Li did not reveal any news, but about what the Empress Dowager Li was going to do, Zhang Fan was able to come out a little.

And Zhang Fan, who guessed what he would face, would be so troubled now, after all, before doing the thing that Empress Dowager Li was about to tell him, Zhang Fan still had an unresolved matter here, and if this matter was not solved now, Zhang Fan had no intention of doing anything else, but the question was that there was no clue about that matter now.

What's the matter, isn't it the last time Zhuo Yang went to "assassinate" Zhu Yijun, someone actually went to Zhang Fan's house to report the news on the same day.

Zhang Fan was worried about this matter, and he was worried that the person who did this would threaten his family in the future.

After so many days of investigation, he, Wang Meng, Liang Chao and others have already locked the question on the rear army that day, and even they have found an extremely suspicious person.

After investigating in the army for a period of time and there was no news, Zhang Fan secretly operated and gave the person a few days of vacation to let him out, so that he could have a chance to show his feet, but five days passed, and that person also returned to the army, but on the side of Jinyiwei, there was no news, which is simply incomprehensible, could it be said that it was wrong.

In those five days, this person didn't know if he had noticed the reason why someone was secretly spying on him, in the past few days, in addition to resting in his own home, he was not only drinking wine, but even went to the Qinglou once, but no matter how you look at it, this is the work of an ordinary soldier who has been in the army for a long time, plus he has not started a family, it is completely normal to do these things.

However, for the task that Zhang Fan explained, the people who monitored below naturally did not let it go, whether it was to go to the tavern with him, or even those Fengyue Fields secretly went to a lot, fortunately, this person did not go to many places during this time, and it was not too troublesome for Jinyiwei to investigate.

However, the problem also came out, in the past five days, Jin Yiwei followed him, and saw that he had also come into contact with a lot of people, and because of prudence, Jin Yiwei even investigated all the people who had contact with him, as long as he had a face-to-face with this person, he did not let go, let alone the person who had spoken to him.

However, what about the final situation, after the investigation of these hundreds of people, there is no problem at all, although it is said that hundreds of people, such a huge number, in such a short period of time, there is no way to do anything too in-depth investigation, but there is no problem at all, obviously there is a problem.

When Zhang Fan received the news, his first reaction was, did he see the wrong person, but immediately, he felt that it would not, after all, no matter what, this person was in a coma there at that time, and after Wang Meng's inspection, it was already certain that the person who knocked him unconscious was a master.

Of course, it is not excluded that someone came outside and knocked him unconscious, but this possibility, Zhang Fan thinks it is very low, after all, someone will assassinate Zhu Yijun that day, only five people know about this matter, and it is also five people who will never reveal the news, so in this way, since there is no news leaking out, how can anyone innocently go there.

Or did the people who went there not do it for this matter, but because of something else, but inadvertently saw someone assassinating the emperor, which was a temporary change of method.

Although this possibility is also possible, Zhang Fan does not think that will be the case.

And now, with the news from the southwest, Zhang Fan knew that he would have to leave the capital for a while soon, but the problem here had not been solved, which made Zhang Fan feel at ease to leave here.

In short, Zhang Fan is now in a dilemma, and there is no solution, which makes Zhang Fan feel quite uneasy.
