But don't think that if a doctor can, then everyone else can? Others you try, don't kill you all over the house sorry for the executioner. So the court brawl in the Ming Dynasty can be said to be a kind of welfare for scholars, after all, there is a lot of pressure to govern the country, how can you relax if you don't have entertainment?

The people in the middle school outside the door were shocked to see it, but Feng Ruoshu, the first assistant sitting in the room, was watching it with relish. Old man Feng saw the six people below in a mess, and he actually missed the days when he was an official in Beijing before. In the past, Old Man Feng was also a general when he was young, but he didn't expect the back waves of the Yangtze River to push the front waves, and now the young people have a great tendency to catch up.

Old man Feng watched it with relish, and Zhang Jiayu on the side couldn't stand it. He also spent time in Beijing, but only for a year. I have only heard of this kind of welfare of scholars and doctors, and this time I am a little uncomfortable to see the six civil officials in their forties and fifties together.

Zhang Jiayu saw Gong Dacheng a monkey stealing peaches and pinching Wang Yunchang screamed, Wang Yunchang in turn elbow hammer hit Gong Dacheng on the nose, and immediately blood came down. Zhang Jiayu felt that it was better to stop it, and don't make trouble for a while.

Zhang Jiayu came to Feng Ruoshu and said, "Yuanfu, let's let people separate them!" ”

Feng Ruoshu looked at it for a while, and there was nothing new, it was still interesting to have a big melee of more than 100 people in the court before, but now this kind of small group of six people is not interesting. That's right, let's separate, it's insulting.

Seeing Feng Ruoshu nodding, Zhang Jiayu hurriedly went out to find more than a dozen Zhongshu people to help separate the crowd.

Feng Ruoshu looked at the six people below who did not know whether they were winning or losing, snorted, and said, "Since there is no conclusion, then please ask the Holy Judge of the Supervision State!" After speaking, he took everyone to the Chu Palace, looking for Zhu Hongsan.

At this time, Zhu Hongsan was discussing the matter of the steam engine with Tie Niu and other craftsmen, and now that the productivity has reached a bottleneck, it is really impossible not to engage in a steam engine.

At this time, someone outside the door reported that the cabinet members had come to visit the king of Chu, Chitose.

Zhu Hongsan was also stunned when he heard it, wasn't all government affairs handed over to them? What else is there to find yourself? Could it be that something is going on in the north? Zhu Hongsan was also afraid that something would happen, so he hurriedly summoned everyone in the cabinet.

After a while, eight members of the cabinet came to the house to meet Zhu Hongsan, the superintendent. Zhu Hongsan was stunned when he saw their embarrassed appearance, and saw that Ma Mingyuan's official uniform was torn, his nose was blue and his face was swollen, and one shoe was gone; Tong Yangjia looked very embarrassed by an old man with swollen eye sockets, bleeding from the corners of his mouth. The others, except for Feng Ruoshu and Zhang Jiayu, were all embarrassed.

Zhu Hong was furious, he thought that these people had been beaten, and said angrily: "Shoufu, what's going on?" But someone attacked the gentlemen? ”

Feng Ruoshu's old face turned red, and when he saw that there were still some craftsmen such as Tie Niu in the house, some things were not easy to say, so he thought for a while and said: "Your Royal Highness, the minister has something important to report, please avoid it if you have nothing to do." ”

Zhu Hongsan saw the appearance of the old man Feng, Si Aiai, and suddenly realized. Zhu Hongsan knew the virtue of the Ming Dynasty scholars, and he staged a full martial arts line without saying a word, it seems that there is something that has not been discussed today, and there is another real PK.

Zhu Hongsan said to Tie Niu, who was also stupid: "Tie Niu, you take someone down first, and I'll look for you when I'm free for the steam engine." ”

These craftsmen also looked stupid, in the past, these scholars and doctors looked at them one by one, and they couldn't wait to lift their chin to the sky. I didn't expect anyone else to dare to attack them? I really don't know how death is written.

After Tie Niu and the other craftsmen went down, Zhu Hongsan asked, "Shoufu, what's going on!" ”

The house was full of his own people, and Feng Ruoshu didn't have anything to hide, and stepped forward and said, "Your Highness, several of our colleagues have a dispute over the affairs of Nanyang. Those who agree to send troops and those who do not agree to send troops are now invited to His Highness the Prison State to make a holy judgment. ”

It turned out that it was for Nanyang, Zhu Hongsan nodded and said, "What is the reason for not agreeing to send troops?" ”

At this time, Ma Mingyuan stood up, and he said: "Your Highness, now all our energy is to ensure the war in Nanzhili, and all the factories in Dongguan are running at full capacity, so we really don't have the energy and strength to start a war with the Francophone people!" ”

As soon as Ma Mingyuan's words fell, Tong Yangjia, who had a swollen eye on the side, stood up to speak. "Master Ma, I'm afraid what you said is not right! Now there are only 10,000 troops on the Nanzhili side, but we still have 40,000 people in our hands, and Master Fu said that Luzon only needs 10,000 people to pacify. Aren't there still some in the arsenal of weapons and equipment? Master Ma, do you disagree, are you afraid that the power in your hands will be reduced? ”

Hearing that Tong Yangjia was reversing black and white here, Ma Mingyuan was angry and wanted to go up again. At this time, Feng Ruoshu, the leader of the team, shouted: "Okay, don't insult Sven in front of His Highness." ”

Zhu Hongsan looked at the embarrassed crowd below, and his heart was like a laugh. But on the other side, these are their own important ministers, and they are about to laugh, and they have to kill themselves.

Zhu Hongsan controlled his mood for a long time, and said in a calm tone: "Mr. Ma's words also have some truth, but Mr. Ma sees the problem on the surface. Mr. Ma is in charge of the household department, and it is normal to be worried about financial problems, but Mr. Ma doesn't see that we have some problems now? ”

"Oh? If you have any questions, please let Your Highness know. ”

"Population problem, didn't Mr. Ma realize that we have reached the limit of the army of 50,000 people we can support? However, 50,000 people were the opponent of the Manchu army's million-strong army, and if you want to resist the Manchus, you need at least 150,000 to 200,000 troops, and if you want to go on the Northern Expedition, you need more. However, Mr. Ma saw that the transportation of the population in Nanzhili was too slow, the population of Guangxi was even poorer than that of Guangdong, and the road from Huguang and Jiangxi to Guangdong was rugged and difficult, and less than 100,000 people went south every month, which was a drop in the bucket for us. But Luzon is different, there are 500,000 Han people in Luzon, and millions of natives, these are all resources, and if we take Luzon, our population pressure can be relieved, and we can organize and train more new troops in a year's time, so as to block the Manchu iron cavalry. ”

Zhu Hongsan's sentence has already considered the problem from a strategic point of view, and the scholars and doctors here are all capable officials. In the past, it was only a blind eye, and I did not see the crisis that Guangdong was in. Now when I heard Zhu Hongsan say this, I immediately realized.

When Ma Mingyuan heard Zhu Hongsan say this, he thought about it. In times of peace, it can naturally develop slowly, but now that it is a troubled time, can the Manchus in the north give you time to develop slowly? Now the best solution is to rob it.

Zhu Hongsan continued: "As for the easy solution to the financial problem, Luzon has been under the governance of the Francophone for hundreds of years, and there should be some family background. After the capture of Luzon, it can completely make up for military spending. ”

Hearing that Zhu Hongsan had solved the most important silver problem, Ma Mingyuan had nothing to say and retreated. Others saw that Ma Mingyuan, who was the most resolute in opposition, did not object, and Zhu Hongsan was right, now that Guangdong is in danger, the Nanyang war will not start.

Seeing that the ministers had no objections, Zhu Hongsan said to Feng Ruoshu: "Shoufu, since there is no objection to the cabinet, let's start preparing and strive to set off within half a month." ”

Feng Ruoshu nodded, bowed and went back to work with a group of wounded soldiers.

After leaving the gate of the Chu Palace, Fu Wenlong was in a good mood when he saw the Nanyang war plan passed. Tong Yangjia on the side came over and said, "Congratulations to Master Fu, why don't we go and have a few drinks!" ”

Fu Wenlong was born in the Imperial History Science Dao, and he also belonged to the Shangqing Stream, so he was naturally close to the Ma family brothers, and he looked down on Tong Yangjia as a traitor from the bottom of his heart. Today, there is no way to form an alliance with Tong Yangjia, but can it be in collusion with Tong Yangjia? Hearing Tong Yangjia say this, Fu Wenlong arched his hand and said: "Lord Tong is very sorry, the lower officials have to prepare, and if there is a chance in the future, they will definitely repay Lord Tong for his righteousness today." After speaking, Fu Wenlong arched his hand and left.

Gong Dacheng, who was behind, wiped the blood from his nose and said, "My lord, this Fu Wenlong doesn't know how to lift, let's help him so lukewarmly today." ”

Tong Yangjia looked at Fu Wenlong's back, and said with a smile: "You don't understand, the most difficult thing in officialdom is to repay favors, and this favor is not over until death." ”

Regardless of the intrigue of the literati outside, Zhu Hongsan in the palace saw everyone retreating, and hurriedly called Zhang Jiayu to ask about the situation in detail.

Zhang Jiayu was speechless when he saw the elated appearance of the King of Chu. But there was no way for the king to order, so he could only tell in detail what happened in the cabinet room.

Hearing Zhang Jiayu talk about Gong Dacheng's sneak attack on Wang Yunchang with a monkey stealing peaches, Zhu Hongsan laughed and said: "It seems that the gentlemen in the cabinet are still not physically strong, and they should strengthen their exercise in the future. ”

No matter how Zhu Hongsan arranged this group of literati and doctors, since the order of the king of Chu was under his order, the whole of Guangdong immediately began to prepare for a new expedition. Units transferred from the garrisons of various provinces were assembled in Dongguan for reorganization and training. In Dongguan, this is only a preliminary reorganization, and the next step is to go to Hongji Port for half a month of intensive training to adapt to the hot tropical climate.

Ten days later, the first group of 4,000 men went to Hongji on troop carriers, and the rest of the men and horses were transported in two parts. Fu Wenlong didn't go with the first batch, he had to wait for the big boat that Zhu Hongsan gave him to go with him.

The new large ship at the shipyard is really huge, with a displacement of 1,200 tons, and is about to reach the peak of the sail battleship. This ship, named "Guangdong" by Zhu Hongsan, was also the first provincial warship. The previous 800-ton warships were prefecture-class, and 400-ton warships were county-level.

Fu Wenlong's injury to Zhang Bingwen is basically good now, and he has come to the shipbuilding every day to inquire about the progress these days. Seeing the big ship in front of him being built day by day, Fu Wenlong couldn't help but be amazed. I didn't expect there to be such a big ship, the side of the ship was as high as the city wall, and the ten largest guns on the ship were almost as thick as a bucket. Seeing this, the unique sense of arrogance in Fu Wenlong's heart was even stronger, and the Ming Dynasty was invincible.
