Chapter 281: Three Treasure Eunuchs
Ma Sanbao?
Cao Yi didn't react, in his opinion, it was just a very ordinary name.
Xiao Fan has been flustered for a long time, this name ...... It seems to be very familiar, as if I had heard of it somewhere in my previous life, who is this person?
Some chaotic and fragmentary memories in his mind flashed by one by one, Xiao Fan frowned, trying to piece together these memories.
Ma Sanbao, Mu Youxiao**, eunuch,...... Three Treasure Eunuchs?
As if being struck by a Nine Heavens Divine Thunder, Xiao Fan suddenly slapped his thigh hard, pointed at Ma Sanbao and said excitedly: "Damn!" Zheng He? Father-in-law Zheng? ”
Ma Sanbao was taken aback, looked left and right for a while, and said inexplicably: "Who are you talking about?" Who is Gonggong Zheng? ”
"You, you are Zheng He, Zheng Gonggong!" Xiao Fan couldn't help himself with excitement.
Ma Sanbao's face changed, and he said angrily: "You are Gonggong Zheng!" Your whole family is Zheng Gonggong! Dog Guan'an dares to deceive me, you are not my father, what qualifications do you have to change my name and surname? ”
Xiao Fan thought about it, patted his forehead and said, "I know that you are not Gonggong Zheng now, but you will definitely be surnamed Zheng in the future, this can't be wrong." ”
"If the dog officer has the courage to let go of me, I will fight you to the death!" Ma Sanbao was angry, the ancients paid attention to loyalty and filial piety, and their names were changed for no reason, which is a big unfilial piety.
"I will definitely let it go, but I don't have to fight to the death, you are my idol, how dare I be rude to you?" Xiao Fan said very seriously.
The Ming Dynasty has been in the country for nearly three hundred years, to say that he really admires and respects the people, the first is the Zheng He who went to the West seven times in front of him, and the descendants criticized that the move of the West is really a waste of money for the people, and emptied the Yongle treasury, but did not bring a trace of benefit to the imperial court, it is a hundred harms and no benefits, it is the biggest malpractice of the Yongle Dynasty, Xiao Fan can not agree with this point of view, no matter what kind of political needs, Zheng He's move to the West has a very positive side, spread the power of the great tomorrow, exchange civilizations around the world, exchange of goods, and more importantly, It broadened the horizons and knowledge of the Chinese people, and made them understand that the world was big, and the Chinese kingdom was only located in a corner, so that the court and the people woke up from the arrogance of the Huanghuang Heavenly Empire, and the move to the West, whether it was politics, folk customs or economy, had a far-reaching and positive impact on the Ming Dynasty at that time.
All of this is the achievements of this Ma Sanbao, now he, of course, can not imagine how precious and great wealth his life has left for future generations, his efforts let the world know China at that time, let the world know that in the far east, there is such a mysterious and rich country, they are generous and humble, strong but polite, with benevolence and filial piety as the criterion of life, let those barbaric nations know that in addition to killing and plundering, there is such a beautiful side in the surname...... Of course, these are all things in the future, under Xiao Fan's interference, history has changed, Zhu Di may not be able to usurp the throne, and Ma Sanbao's current identity is only Zhu Di's personal guard,...... and Xiao Fan's prisoner.
Xiao Fan's expression was serious, he straightened his clothes, and he bowed to the ground in a very formal manner, a standard Confucian gift.
Ma Sanbao froze, and then his expression became more and more suspicious, if it weren't for his hands and feet being tied, it was estimated that he would jump up in fright at this moment.
"You...... What do you want? What do you mean? What's your conspiracy? Ma Sanbao's face became paler and paler, he was not afraid of torture, but he was afraid of the enemy's unknown attempts, which made him feel frightened.
Not only Ma Sanbao was frightened, but even Cao Yi on the side was also frightened.
"Lord Xiao, you ...... You okay? A mere martial artist, do you need to give him such a big gift? ”
Ma Sanbao was very self-aware of his identity, and couldn't help but nod his head when he heard the words: "That's it." ”
Xiao Fan was speechless, this was a tribute to a great man, others couldn't understand this kind of action, but he himself understood that although this great man hadn't done that great thing yet, there would definitely be one in the future.
Jianwen is prosperous, and it needs a person who is wise and brave and benevolent to spread Chinese civilization to the Quartet, and then bring back the technology and products that are higher than the Ming Dynasty.
After quelling Zhu Di's rebellion, when the world is peaceful, it may be possible to consider letting this eunuch of the Three Treasures go to the West, measure the material resources of China, build treasure ships, recruit seafarers, set sail to sea, and pass through the countries, Zheng He of the Ming Dynasty is no worse than Columbus.
Facing the suspicious eyes of Ma Sanbao and Cao Yi, Xiao Fan gave Ma Sanbao a thumbs up from the bottom of his heart: "...... Pure masters! Well done! ”
The look of surprise on Ma Sanbao's face instantly turned into anger, and he said with a gloomy face: "Soldiers can be killed, not humiliated, adults want to kill me, if you cut me with a knife, why humiliate me so much?" ”
"I really praise you, what you do in the future is definitely worthy of my praise, and it's always right to praise it in advance."
Ma Sanbao: "............"
This legendary Lord Xiao who broke his wrists with the prince...... Is there something wrong? How could the prince lose to this kind of person repeatedly?
"Zheng Gonggong ......"
Ma Sanbao's face was pale, and he gritted his teeth: "...... I don't have the surname Zheng! ”
"It will be in the future, after a while, I will ask the Son of Heaven to give you the surname Zheng, Gonggong Zheng, do you like the sea?"
"I don't like it!"
"How could you not like it? The sea, lots of water ......"
"I hate the sea! I can't swim! ”
Xiao Fan was stunned, Zheng He, who had been in the West all his life, couldn't swim?
After being stunned for a while, Xiao Fan said angrily: "Why can't you swim?" ”
Ma Sanbao snorted: "What? Can't swim in the water and break the king's law? ”
“…… You always like to take a boat, don't you? ”
"I'm seasick!"
“…… You can't swim and get seasick, how will you go to sea in the future, how will you go to the Western Ocean? What is the meaning of your life? ”
"Phew! Who said I was going to the West? Whoever loves to go, I won't go anyway! The meaning of my life is to die to help the prince Jingjing! ”
“…………”
Xiao Fan finally returned to reality.
The reality is very cruel, the identity of the person in front of him is not Zheng Gonggong who has been to the West for seven times, but the anti-thief Ma Sanbao who aids in the abuse.
Is it more promising to be a thief than to be famous in the world? Ignorant ancients!
Xiao Fan and Cao Yi left the tent where Ma Sanbao was held, and on the way back to the tent, Xiao Fan instructed: "Untie Ma Sanbao, send someone to take care of him, provide him with good food and drink, don't let him run away." ”
"Brother Xiao, why are you so polite to a little captive? Does he matter? ”
Xiao Fan nodded affirmatively: "It's very important, this person may have a greater impact on Daming in the future than me, or even more than the Son of Heaven." ”
Cao Yi scratched his head, these words were too ethereal, he was very incomprehensible.
"Don't forget, Ma Sanbao is now a thief and has a lot of hostility towards us, how can you subdue him?"
Xiao Fan groaned: "A eunuch with a small **, what does he need?" ”
"He wants to be small."
Xiao Fan said without thinking: "I'll tell him that in the distant Western Ocean, there is a magical plant, and if you eat its fruit, you can grow a small **, as big as a durian......"
"Durian is that big?"
"Durian is so big!"
After conquering two cities one after another, Zhu Di gradually regained his lost confidence.
This is a big gamble with his family name and life as a bet, whether it is he or the Yan army soldiers under his command, they all have a worried heart, they all understand that what they are doing now is called "Fengtian Jingdifficult", and it is not good, that is rebellion, the great crime of punishing the nine clans, the supreme imperial power that has lasted for more than a thousand years, there are very few people who really dare to argue with it, and when it comes to rebellion, first of all, they will be empty-hearted.
Imperial power, what a distant and noble thing, awe-inspiring and worshiping, and now he dares to resist it in such a direct way and overthrow it, if he fails, what will happen to his wife and children? No matter how merciful a monarch is, I'm afraid he can't tolerate the people who dare to rebel, right?
The uneasy mood directly led to the low morale of the Yan army, and their psychological pressure was too great.
It was not until recently that Zhu Di conquered the two cities of Zhangde and Jing'an, and won both battles, that the morale of the soldiers of the Yan army rose slightly.
It turned out that the imperial court was not so invincible, they would still fail, and without much effort, the golden holy brilliance of the imperial court gradually dimmed in the hearts of the Yan soldiers, and the fear gradually disappeared, replaced by complete madness.
After withdrawing from Jing'an Mansion, Zhu Di's eyes locked on Fenzhou, Shanxi.
Enter! Besiege!
Soldiers of the Yan Army, you are the elite soldiers of a hundred battles, the most powerful border army in the world, the prince has taken a fancy to Fenzhou, you take it down!
On May 20 of the first year of Jianwen, the Yan army conquered Fenzhou, the world was shocked, and the imperial court was tired of catching up, and the whip was beyond the reach of the whip.
The morale of the soldiers of the Yan army rose to its peak with this battle.
It turns out that all the seemingly solid walls are nothing more than a pile of gorgeous powder.
Any city in the world, my Yan army takes it like a bag!
In Fenzhou City, when the Yan army was cheering and celebrating, in the yamen of the Fenzhou prefect's house, which was reduced to a temporary marshal's tent, Zhu Di's face was pale, and his whole body trembled slightly.
The people below cheered, as the coach, Zhu Di could not have been carried away by the victory, in fact, he was very angry now.
The scout sent to Taiyuan came with bad news, he sent to lobby the secret envoy of the King of Jin, before entering the gate of the Jin Palace, he was intercepted by a mysterious team of masters, his most trusted personal guard, appointed as the leader of the secret envoy Ma Sanbao is missing, the rest were all stabbed, none of them lived.
No need to ask, this must be a good thing that Xiao Fan sent someone to do.
Xiao Fan, born to be his nemesis of Zhu Di, he seemed to have expected Zhu Di to take this move, and sent a master to wait for him there early, and the swift interception not only destroyed Zhu Di's plan, but also gave King Jin a stern warning.
"Kill the chicken and show it to the monkey......" Dao Yan's expression was gloomy and he let out a long sigh.
Zhu Di trembled violently, and he couldn't tell whether it was fear or anger.
"What a vicious method! Sir, the king of Jin is there......"
Dao Yan lamented: "The King of Jin has been frightened, and I am afraid that he will not dare to follow the prince to raise troops...... Lord Wang, this road has been broken. ”
Zhu Di said in a trembling voice: "We ...... What are we going to do? ”
Dao Yan lowered his head and said in a low voice: "The only way to do this is to continue to conquer the city and lead the main force of the imperial court to the north, and then we will suddenly turn around and change our course and raise troops to attack the Jingshi directly!" ”
Zhu Di gasped: "Jingshi? Directly attack Nanjing Yingtian? Sir, are you crazy? ”
