Chapter 224: Nightmares

"Fang La's traitor, you slaughter the gentry, you can't die a good death!"

"You are waiting for the erosion of the two roads in the south of the Yangtze River, it is no longer allowed in the Great Zhou, and you will be waiting for you in the Yongle Dynasty underground."

"Lord Shenggong, don't you claim to be the master of the small people? Why destroy the fields and cut off the villain's way of life......"

With an exclamation, Fang La woke up from the bed. The last scene in the dream is a blind old farmer with a hoe in his hand, a horse on his feet, and a zigzag plough tied to his back, complaining of him with blood and tears.

The slender and slippery concubine woke up and leaned over her soft body, "Your Majesty has a nightmare again?" Ah, Your Majesty has sweated a lot, and Concubine Rong has asked for a doctor of medicine to come over. ”

Several famous doctors who "voluntarily" took refuge in the Yongle Dynasty came to the bedroom of the Holy Father Fangla.

A famous doctor is a famous doctor, and after half an hour, the Holy Father, who had taken the medicine, fell into a deep sleep, only his eyelids still twitched from time to time.

The flowers and trees in the garden grow very fast, have completely got rid of monotony and dryness, and exude vitality. Swiftlets, warblers and magpies return to their nests one after another, feeding the chicks one by one.

The spring rain has been falling for many days, and the days when the clouds open and the rain are very rare. The light is slightly harsh, but it is very comfortable to shine on the body.

More than a dozen kinds of precious incense blended with Nanyang spices burn slowly, and the indistinguishable aroma fills the entire bedroom.

The temperature and humidity are suitable, so the quality of sleep is guaranteed. The herbs were extremely bitter, but the effect was remarkable, and Fang La finally regained some of his spirit.

Although the Yongle Dynasty's treasury had enough grain and coarse salt for 500,000 people to eat for two years, Fang La still insisted on leading by example and rarely extravagant.

The porridge is boiled until the rice grains are even, smooth but not sticky.

The cookcakes were made by the queen herself. The queen of the Yongle Dynasty stayed by the bedside for a night, and after making breakfast, she couldn't support it and went to rest.

Three side dishes, two meat and one vegetable, are the proud works of the three most favored concubines.

After breakfast, rinse your mouth under the careful service of the maid, and change into a loose and simple pale yellow crewneck robe and soap boots...... Fang La sat on the stone bench for a while, until Xiao Yan under the painting beam left, then wiped the corners of his eyes and got up and went to the west hall.

After not playing for a few months, Fang La's waist looked fat again.

Fang La sat on the rosewood chair in the north, smiling reluctantly, letting Fang Fei, Shen Shou, Fang Tianding, and Shi Bao, who had just returned from the front line, not have to be polite, and sat down to talk.

For a few months, the Yongle Dynasty paid special attention to red tape, or "seating order", and Fang La himself indulged in an atmosphere of self-respect.

But as the war dragged on for a long time, the high-level of the Yongle Dynasty, who had become a master, continued to explore the whole picture of Dazhou...... Gradually, they finally found out that they were still dirt buns.

Fang Fei is Fang La's family, and now he is the left minister of Yongle Dynasty.

Shen Shou is also a Wenchen, who fought against Fang Fei within the Yongle Dynasty, and was officially named the right minister not long ago.

Fang Tianding was Fang La's nephew, and was recognized by the soldiers of the Great Zhou Army and Fang La's army as the first in the Yongle Dynasty.

Shi Bao is one of the old brothers who followed Fang La's uprising, ranked among the "Four Generalissimos", and was extremely crazy on the battlefield.

As is customary, those who should return from the front line will be reported first, and then the discussion will be discussed. Lord Sheng Gong nodded at Shi Bao, only to see Marshal Shi Bao first bow to Fang La's side, and then walked to the map of Jiangnan, and said:

"After the beginning of spring, my Yongle Dynasty army attacked again."

"The last general in Suzhou-Kunshan-Jiading line, and the Great Zhou army fought several battles, and now firmly guards the Wujiang-Zhouzhuang-Qingpu-Songjiang line, and is seizing the time to repair the city and repair equipment. Yao Pingzhong hooked up with the fleet of the Gaoyou army, often harassing the rear of our army, coupled with the crisscrossing of rivers, the Taihu Lake fleet in the west often sneaked attack, so the overall progress of our army was limited. ”

Xue Dounan marched between the mountains in the southwest and had reached the foot of the Yellow Mountain. The officers and troops in these places have been beaten once by our Yongle Dynasty, and General Xue Dounan is overwhelmed. ”

"South of the Qiantang River, General Pang Wanchun captured Wucheng on the day of Qingming. A day later, General Pan Wende to the east captured Taizhou. The grain and cloth found by our army in these two places were very small, and they should have been all stolen by Liu Guangshi. ”

It was impossible for the Great Zhou army to attack from the west of Hangzhou, and Fang Fei and the others knew the specific situation best, so Shi Bao did not mention it.

Shi Bao did not mention the situation in the north of Hangzhou, because it was the pain in the hearts of all the generals and soldiers of the Yongle Dynasty: the two iron nails of Deqing County and Huzhou City north of Hangzhou firmly blocked the passage of Fang La's army to the west of Taihu Lake and Jiangnan West Road, basically cutting off the possibility of Yongle going up the river.

Fang Fei bowed in his seat, "Your Majesty." The minister has a strategy, which can ensure that the army of the Yongle Dynasty conquers the county seat of Deqing. On the side of Huzhou City, the subordinates did not dare to guarantee it, but it could somewhat hit the morale of the officers and soldiers. ”

Shen Shou guessed what Fang Fei wanted to say at the first time. He was powerless to stop it, and he had no position to stop it, so he had to sigh in his heart, bow his head and remain silent.

Although Fang Tianding and Shi Bao didn't know what Fang Fei wanted to say, they had already seen the desperate plan proposed by Fang Fei, and at the same time they had to admit that the more cruel the strategy, the easier it would work.

Fang La somewhat guessed Fang Fei's family's thoughts, and his hands clenched slightly in his sleeve robe, "What plan?" ”

Fang Fei said less than ten words before he was interrupted by Fang Tianding, who was furious.

Fang Tianding stood up, his hands trembling, "The previous ditch was broken and the fields were destroyed, creating millions of hungry people, and I don't know how many people died. Although the Great Zhou government was in a hurry, the subsequent epidemic also caused me to suffer heavy losses for the Yongle Dynasty. ”

"The Desperate Household Meter can no longer be used!"

"If I, Yongle Dynasty, really do such a thing that has lost my conscience, what else is the equality of the law, and there is no superiority? What else do you say to eliminate all corrupt officials and corrupt officials? If I really want to use your strategy, my Yongle Dynasty will be more hated in the hearts of the people than the corrupt officials back then! ”

Shi Bao couldn't believe his ears, a little buzzing. Although the lower limit he set for Fang Fei was very low, he never expected that Fang Fei would not hesitate to violate the taboo that had been circulating in the Yanhuang land for thousands of years.

Shen Shou looked at the old opponent opposite. Fang Fei closed his eyes in the face of Fang Tianding's question, but Shen Shou's mind became complicated.

Fang La asked everyone to go back to their respective homes, leaving only Fang Tianding, the nephew he valued the most.

"The Great Zhou gathered more than 30,000 soldiers and horses on the South Jingxi Road, and the leader was a capable minister, called Yu Yunwen." Fang La stood up, paced to the window, and looked at the pavilions outside, "Da Zhou has exerted his strength, and my Yongle Dynasty will have another fierce battle, maybe a decisive battle." ”

"There is no definite news north of Yangzhou, and I don't know if there are more Great Zhou troops. I only now know that the Great Zhou has a lot of confidence in the two hundred years of the country. The place is so big, there are so many people, and there is a lot of money. ”

"Dali dispatched half of the elite, and was soon driven back by Liu Guangshi, and the country was unstable. The yellow-headed Uighurs of Qinghai attacked Longxi, and dozens of Tibetan tribes harassed Hanzhong and Sichuan, and were actually beaten away by the Western and Sichuan armies, which is really ......"

The West Hall, which is carefully laid out and elegantly decorated, is so quiet that you can hear the sound of birds 100 meters away.

None of the things Fang La said were confidential, and anyone with a little identity in the Yongle Dynasty knew it. Most of the supporters of the Yongle Dynasty came from poor backgrounds, and they could not imagine what it was like to be thousands of miles away in Ganliang, Longxi, Shaanxi, and Sichuan, and most of them had never been out of their county before the uprising.

Dazhou is very large, and there are many different places, loess, Gobi, flying sand, forest...... Jiangnan is only a small part, which is the first point that the top management of the Yongle Dynasty understands.

The Great Zhou was very strong, and when dealing with the Yongle Dynasty, he could divide his strength to repel the all-out attack of the southern overlord, as well as the harassment of hundreds of tribes, and at the same time suppress several rebel armies and hundreds of bandits in the country. This is the second point that many people understand, and it is also the point that makes them tremble.

"Qilin'er, what do you say......" The brocade rubbed against the silk, and it turned out to be the Holy Father Fang La, who turned around, "You said that if we were not so arrogant, did not kill all the officials, small officials, rich gentry and wealthy businessmen that we caught, and did not capture such a big place, but accepted it when we saw it, is it possible to recruit An to be an official?" ”

"If you can't survive, you can get into trouble, all in order to find a way to live, and you will have a way to live after Zhao'an. But first, it is difficult to ride a tiger, second, I am worried that the government has no faith, and third, I have greater ambitions, so I still fought all the way. ”

"Uncle and you dig out your heart, now my Yongle Dynasty is really not necessarily better than the Great Zhou Mansion. What are the villagers, friends, and heroes from all walks of life who followed us into trouble, and even the lowest soldiers, doing in the township now...... It is more terrible than the corrupt officials, corrupt officials, and evil gentry we have seen, and nothing has changed in our Yongle Dynasty, and the life of small families may have become worse. ”

In terms of people's livelihood, Fang La has always paid attention to it and has made great efforts. However, it didn't work, unless Fang La ignored the foundation of the Yongle Dynasty and went on a killing spree against his subordinates.

"I also acquiesced to Fang Fei's plan to send millions of hungry people to Da Zhou, but the subsequent epidemic caused more than 2,000 casualties to our old base. We have dug up the roots of millions of small people, and in the hearts of those people, our party must have become a heinous thief. ”

"I was, why didn't I stop at the time? Whose ancestors are not from farming, and how difficult it is to farm, I know very well. I, Yongle Dynasty, actually became like this, why did I become like this......"
