Chapter 252: I Want to Collect Flowers

Chen Ying'er seemed to have found a ray of light in the dark and bumpy love road, happily left the Xiao Mansion, and began to plan how to please the three ladies who won over Xiao Fan. Of course, the backyard business should be done in the backyard.

I have to say that Taixu has not lived in vain for more than 100 years, at least this time his idea is very reliable, although it is inevitable that there is a suspicion of extortion, but his idea is effective.

Of course, a female tycoon like Chen Yinger doesn't mind being blackmailed by Xiao Fan's master, she is not short of money.

Now Chen Ying'er plans to return to her Chen family's business, and then think about what method to use to please the three hostesses of the Xiao family, and treat her as her own family from now on, and then enter the house, so that Xiao Fan and his wife gradually get used to her existence, and finally be accepted by Xiao Fan naturally...... This is really a good idea, Chen Ying'er, who was full of joy, couldn't help but hook the corners of her mouth halfway back to the business.

She decided to give the person who helped her come up with the idea, that is, the Taixu old fairy, five thousand taels of silver, and make up a whole number of ten thousand taels, so that the old fairy who likes silver would be happy.

There is an old man in the family, if there is a treasure, this is really very reasonable. In the future, if you enter the door of the Xiao family, whether it is out of filial piety for Xiao Fan or seeking a backer in the backyard of the Xiao family, you must be filial to Taixu.

When Chen Ying'er returned to the business, the original sad and resentful pretty face had melted the snow, and when she stepped into the threshold of the business, she even began to hum a little song unconsciously and gently, and even her steps were much brisker.

"Miss, miss, you picked up silver on the road, didn't you? Isn't it? Where did you pick it up? Baoqin followed Chen Ying'er and asked in a jumping circle.

The reform of the military system is still in progress, and in the past two days, countless middle-level generals such as 100 households and general banners from thousands of households from other places have arrived in Beijing one after another, and under Xiao Fan's designation, the generals have gathered in the newly built lecture hall next to the horse farm on the outskirts of Beijing.

Zhu Yunwen made a few holy decrees, the peace of the Governor's Mansion of the Left Army, Geng Bingwen, the Marquis of Changxing, and even Guo Ying, the Marquis of Wuding, who garrisoned the Daimyo's Mansion, and other few remaining members of the Hongwu Dynasty who had experienced a hundred battles, and the experienced veterans abandoned all matters one after another, and held lectures in the martial arts hall on the outskirts of Beijing, and at the behest of the Son of Heaven, they passed on to the middle-level generals at all levels the experience of leading the troops to fight all kinds of battles that they had learned all their lives and had not even recorded in the military books.

At the same time, the king of Yan in Beiping seized the time to make great efforts to gather grain and grass, and frequently walked around in tandem with the feudal kings in various places, creating a terrifying atmosphere among the feudal kings with the theory that the Son of Heaven wanted to cut down the feudal domain, and tried to implicitly persuade other feudal kings to conspire with great things in order to protect his authority.

The vassal kings will be suspicious and will not dare to act rashly.

Such a big movement, scattered all over the Jinyi Wei secret agents of course already known, quickly reported to the Beijing Division, Xiao Fan entered the palace to ask for instructions, Zhu Yunwen then hurriedly to the vassal kings to appease the will, to the effect that I Fu ascended the throne, everything to be done, need to rely on the imperial uncles of the place is very much, the imperial uncles on behalf of me to guard the border, hard work, I am often grateful, do not dare to say or forget the kindness of the imperial uncles, recently rumors, saying that I want to cut the domain, this is really nonsense, if I can't even believe my own imperial uncle, this Ming thousands of miles of rivers and mountains, Will I leave it to those generals with foreign surnames who don't know the roots? I hope that all the imperial uncles will not be deceived by the rumors, and the people who spread this rumors must have the intention of dividing the feelings of my heavenly uncle and nephew...... A sincere and gentle remark temporarily stabilized the vassal kings in various places.

In contrast, Zhu Yunwen's words do have his truth, this world is our Zhu family, your kid has just ascended to the throne, it is when the foundation is unstable, we will not help you defend the territory of the Ming Dynasty's thousands of miles of territory, how dare you dare to hand it over to those generals with foreign surnames? No fool would do this.

The uncertain vassal kings were temporarily stabilized, but Xiao Fan understood that once Zhu Di rebelled, the contradictions between the court and the vassal kings would completely break out, and all the hypocritical and polite words would become excuses, and the vassal kings in various places would only have two choices at that time, one was to rebel, and the other was to be loyal to the emperor.

The imperial court and Beiping are busy, everyone is so busy that they know each other, and they all know that once the time is ripe, it will be the time to fight the male and female.

Xiao Fan was in the Wenhua Hall of the palace, reporting to Zhu Yunwen, and at this moment he didn't know that he had been sold to Chen Ying'er by his master for five thousand taels of silver.

"Your Majesty, everything is being prepared, thousands of households in various places have begun to train their troops, and the first batch of grain and grass allocated by the household department has been distributed by the prefects and yamen in various places, so that the sergeants no longer need to work in agriculture and can train wholeheartedly. The lecture hall has begun to teach, a total of more than 100 people in the head of the martial arts, awarded the title of garrison, all filled into the lecture hall, among which the head of the list of eyes of the discipline gang, the head of the head of the flower Mu Su two awarded the guerrilla general, the head of the champion...... Hum! The head armor champion, I didn't give anything, and I am facing the saint in the Wenhua Hall at this time......"

As soon as he talked about the title of this champion, Xiao Fan was angry.

Although I was a robber who relied on violent robbery in my previous life, I have already changed my mind in this life, okay? Do I look like I know martial arts? Wu Zhuangyuan...... Wu Zhuangyuan, your sister! Your whole family is a martial champion!

Zhu Yunwen lazily reclined on the chair behind the dragon case, Erlang's legs were raised high, and he kept shaking his legs without sitting down, seeing Xiao Fan's angry face, Zhu Yunwen couldn't help laughing, and said: "Xiao Shi reads both civil and military affairs, and knocks Wu Bangyan down with a slingshot, of course the title of this martial champion will be given to you, Bangyan was beaten by you, and he almost fainted on the spot, do you say he is embarrassed to be a martial champion?" If I make him the champion, I'm afraid I won't even have a bright face on my face......"

Xiao Fan was stunned, then stomped his feet and said, "...... Then you should discuss it with me! ”

"As soon as you finished shooting the slingshot, you rode away on your horse and disappeared, where can I go to discuss with you? At that time, tens of thousands of people on the school field were staring at me, if I didn't make a decision, I am afraid that the first martial arts of my Jianwen Dynasty would become a farce and a laughing stock of the world, and I couldn't do it......" Zhu Yunwen sighed with a sad face.

Xiao Fan thought about it, and finally sighed, and said: "Forget it this time, anyway, the wood is already in the boat, everyone in the world knows that I am a martial champion, and I can't change people if I want to,...... Let's not take this as an example! ”

Zhu Yunwen hurriedly nodded: "Don't worry, as long as you don't appear on the school field in three years' time, the title of martial champion will definitely not be on your head......"

Xiao Fan said angrily: "Am I so invincible? ”

"Hey, Xiao Shiyu, others can't ask for a champion name, why are you so unhappy?" Zhu Yunwen said dissatisfied.

Xiao Fan said angrily: "I'm willing? You come to try to be a martial champion! ”

Zhu Yunwen said curiously: "Isn't it good to be a martial champion?" ”

Xiao Fan's face twitched, and he took a long breath and said, "Since I became the champion of martial arts, there has been a rumor circulating in the Jingshi market......

"What rumors?"

Xiao Fan glanced at him and said with a sad expression: "The rumors are about me, say that I ...... Wen can lift the pen to hook the girl, Wu can go on the horse to fight the wife, enter can bully the body and suppress the beautiful woman, and retreat can raise the buttocks to welcome the crowd ......"

Zhu Yunwen's eyes were straight, and he was stunned for a while, just about to burst out laughing, but seeing Xiao Fan's sad and indignant appearance, Zhu Yunwen hurriedly shut up, but his handsome face turned purple.

Xiao Fan stared at Zhu Yunwen sadly and said, "Do you know how many love letters from my Hou Mansion will receive every day from Jingshi Huaichun Girl and Yinwa Slut?" ”

"No...... Ignorance. ”

Xiao Fan's eyes were red, he slapped his thigh fiercely, and said sadly: "Basket by basket!" The three ladies of my family helped me open the love letter until my hand cramped, and I wanted to go to the Tianfu to report to the official that I was being harassed, and the Ying Tianfu did not accept this case, saying that the Da Ming Law did not write that the mounding was guilty......"

"Xiao Shi read...... Suffered! Zhu Yunwen looked guilty.

"Your Majesty...... We must perfect the Da Ming Law! Xiao Fan's words were sincere.

Zhu Yunwen: "............"

The two monarchs and ministers in the palace fell silent.

"Champion and ,...... What a sad thing! Zhu Yunwen sighed.

"Forget it, let's not talk about these unpleasant things, Your Majesty, there is something that the minister must explain to His Majesty."

"Just say it."

Xiao Fan raised his head, paused for a while, took a deep breath and said: "Now that the imperial court is in great swing, and the military reform is also underway, as expected, within a year, the combat power and morale of my Ming army will inevitably be greatly improved, and if King Yan wants to rebel at that time, I believe that the imperial court will come up with effective countermeasures in time to deal with it, but before that, there is one thing that the imperial court cannot afford not to pay attention to......"

"What's the matter?"

Xiao Fan looked up at Zhu Yunwen and said word by word: "...... Duoyan Sanwei, Your Majesty, if you want to quell the rebellion of the vassal king, you must first accept Duoyan Sanwei! ”

Zhu Yunwen's eyes widened, and he said strangely: "Duoyan Sanwei? You mean...... Uncle Ninghuang's Duoyan Sanwei? ”

"That's right! Ministers are referring to them! ”

Zhu Yun snorted and said disdainfully: "Duoyan Sanwei...... It's just tens of thousands of Mongol cavalry, what's the use of taking them? My Ming court has a million troops, but is there still a shortage of tens of thousands of Mongolian soldiers? ”

Xiao Fan sighed, in the history of his previous life, it was precisely because of Huang Zicheng and Huang Guan that the imperial army was invincible, and they did not attach much importance to the combat power of the Yan army, and they did not have a correct estimate of the important surnames of the cavalry in the war, coupled with Li Jinglong's chaotic command, which led to repeated failures of the imperial court, and the imperial army with millions of troops could not defeat more than 100,000 Yan troops, so that the imperial court was defeated like a mountain, and was usurped by Zhu Di. Kill all sources of failure in the cradle.

"Your Majesty, you can't underestimate the tens of thousands of Mongolian cavalry in this mere area, my Ming Dynasty has a vast territory, from south to north, there are many plains, the plains are most suitable for cavalry combat, and the combat effectiveness of cavalry in land charges is beyond the reach of infantry. The fiefdom of King Yan is in Beiping, since ancient times, Youyan is the place where horses are produced, the number of cavalry under the command of King Yan is much more than that of the imperial army, a cavalry with strong combat power can often be one enemy ten, and can greatly weaken the morale of the enemy, why can the Mongolian soldiers of the former Yuan Dynasty be invincible in the world, the Southern Song Dynasty army will be defeated with one blow, and the country will be wiped out in a snap of a finger? The combat power of the Mongol cavalry played a very important role in this! Your Majesty, although the number of Duoyan Sanwei cavalry is small, this fierce division must not be ignored! ”

Zhu Yunwen's eyes widened, hesitated for a while, and said, "Cavalry...... Is it that powerful? ”

"Let's give an analogy, for example, you and a woman, how long does it take to disarm?"

Zhu Yunwen said without thinking: "At least an hour!" ”

Xiao Fan didn't speak, staring at him coldly.

After being silent for a while, Zhu Yunwen said with a little emptiness: "...... Well, it's only half an hour, actually. ”

Xiao Fan still stared at him coldly: "............"

Liang Jiu ...... "Okay, okay!" In fact, there is only one pillar of incense for ......," Zhu Yunwen said dejectedly.

Xiao Fan showed a teachable smile and said happily: "Your Majesty, you are not as good as me......

Zhu Yunwen's face became more and more ashamed: "............"

"Do you know why it didn't last long?"

"Why?"

Xiao Fan was silent for a moment, and said quietly: "Because you have no ......"

Zhu Yunwen: "............"

"A soldier on a horse, like a man who has taken an aphrodisiac, is not only high-pitched, but also very durable, fast, and powerful, **wave after wave ......"

Zhu Yunwen stared straight and said, "Are you talking about war or sex?" ”

Xiao Fan nodded in affirmation: "...... I'm talking about war! ”

Zhu Yunwen thought for a long time, and finally slapped his thigh heavily and said loudly: "Not bad! Cavalry is really important! ”

"Your Majesty, do you want to fight for Duoyan Sanwei?" Xiao Fan struck while the iron was hot.

Zhu Yunwen hesitated: "But...... Duoyan Sanwei is under the command of Emperor Ning, if we take it, we may lose morality......"

"Your Majesty means that you want to be a gentleman rather than lose your country in the upcoming counterinsurgency battle?"

Zhu Yunwen smiled dryly: "That...... Of course not! The question is, how can you take Duoyan Sanwei from Uncle Ning Huang? ”

"Duoyan Sanwei are all Mongolians who descended to my Ming Dynasty, mainly Duoyan, Taining, and Fuyu Sanwei, among which Duoyan Wei is the most powerful, Taining Wei's command Azashri, Fuyuwei's command Tongzhi Haisa Nan replied Xi, both of them are headed by Duoyanwei's command Tongzhi Tulu Huzar, only its horse head is Zhan, as long as you persuade Tulu Kuchar, the entire Duoyan Sanwei will be in hand......"

"How to convince him?"

"The minister has obtained the information of Jinyiwei, this person is an out-and-out greedy villain, he is greedy for money and lustful, and attaches great importance to fame and fortune, and the court only needs to use his official position and money to envelop him, and he will be in the middle of His Majesty's ......."

Zhu Yunwen groaned: "How to contact them? After all, they are in the north of Beiping, and if they want to subdue them, they must pass through Beiping Mansion, and it is very likely that King Yan will get the news. ”

"It's okay, take a detour, cross Henan, go straight to Shanxi, send someone to contact Tulu Kuchar directly, and ask him to meet in Shanxi Datong Mansion in the Great Wall, Qin sent on behalf of the imperial court to swear to the sky with Tulu Kuchar, not to break the contract with each other, and promise official positions and money, in this way, even if the back road of King Yan is cut off by us, if he dares to rebel, he will not be at peace before and after......"

"Who should I send?"

Xiao Fan's body retreated, and he lifted the hem of his official robe, and then knelt down and said: "The courtiers should share their worries for the king, Your Majesty, the courtiers are willing to go!" ”

"No! You can't go! Zhu Yunwen categorically vetoed.

"Why?"

“…… You're gone, who will help me chase Huang Ying? I'm still waiting to go to her boudoir and sing to show my affection......"

Xiao Fan: "............"

- Should I simply defect to Zhu Di? With such a senseless monarch, the surname of the person who lost the country is very great......
