Nanjing, the government of South Korea.

Li Qi, the son of the world, heard the news and ran to find his father in a hurry. Maybe he learned a lesson, remembered his father's instructions, and after seeing his father practicing calligraphy in the study, he withdrew all the subordinates around him.

Then, he entered the door excitedly, and at the same time did not forget to close the door, and then said to his father: "Dad, I just heard that those two boys ran to war with the Mongol Tatars in Liaodong with only 50,000 horses. ”

After finishing speaking, Li Qi saw that his father was still writing, as if he hadn't heard his words, he was a little disappointed, so he was anxious and asked, "Is this news right?" Just 50,000 horses dare to run, this is not looking for death! Dad's plan is really clever! ”

He naturally knew that his father had tried his best to get that kid from Liujia Village to the north to get together with King Yan, and sure enough, Wei Guogong couldn't stop those two dead boys.

The battle of Yongping, after winning by luck, the tail went up to the sky, I don't know how many catties and taels I had, I dared to run to Liaodong with only 50,000 horses! You must know that the Mongolian Tatars in Liaodong have more than 200,000 horses, and he also heard his father say that the situation in Liaodong is complicated, and there are Jurchens and Goryeo people mixed in.

In this way, he could almost conclude that those two boys must have suffered a big loss this time. Even if they don't die, if there are many soldiers and generals, the emperor will inevitably punish them, and he will be able to breathe a little evil.

At this time, Li Shanchang had already finished writing, and after putting down the brush, he first looked at the words he had written, and then turned his head to look at his son and said, "Your news has long been behind, and it has been at least a month since they launched the war in Liaodong. However, the war has not yet been decided, and only a few people in the DPRK and China know the news. ”

As soon as he heard this, Li Qi hurriedly asked, "It's been more than a month?" Is that a result? Did those two boys suffer a big loss, or were they killed by the Mongol Tatars? ”

Li Shanchang didn't answer immediately, and motioned for his son to remove the writing he had written, and then replied: "Don't be impatient, fighting is a matter of one sentence?" If there is really a winner or a loser, then it will have to be at least half a year, wait patiently, sooner or later there will be news. ”

Li Qi listened and was slightly disappointed. He can't wait for the news to come immediately, and it is the news that King Yan was injured and the boy from Liujia Village was killed, so that he can get out of the evil breath in his heart and the hatred of taking his wife!

If he knew that Zhang Yifan could have a great victory in his leisurely days of fishing at the beach, he probably would never want to hear the news.

But at this moment, he was still excited, and even helped his father polish ink, and then continued to ask: "Dad, they will be defeated, right?" ”

When Li Shanchang heard this, he pondered for a while, and finally shook his head and said: "You can't win if you win, but if you lose, it's also a little difficult." ”

"Why?" When Li Qi heard this, he was a little surprised, and immediately said unconvinced: "The Mongol Tatars have at least 200,000 horses, and the Jurchens and Goryeo people are stirring up, which means that those two boys have at least 50,000 horses to deal with more than four or five times the number of troops, and they can't be defeated?" ”

What his father meant, he also understood, meant that he might be undefeated and undefeated, and then slightly biased towards the kind that suffered a little more.

Li Shanchang listened, and the brush in his hand did not fall, but looked up at his son, and said patiently: "Fighting a war is not just about the number of troops!" The firearms invented by Zhang Yifan are really powerful, that is, the number is relatively small now, otherwise, it is possible that they really won the war in Liaodong. That's why Dad said that......"

Speaking of this, he paused before continuing to explain: "There is Wei Guogong watching there!" If the two of them hadn't said anything about Wei Guogong, with Wei Guogong's qualifications, the two of them would definitely not be able to send troops. ”

The name of the first hero of the founding of the Ming Dynasty fell on the head of Li Shanchang. However, if you want to say who has the most strength to compete for this title, it is none other than Xu Da. From this, it can be seen that Xu Da's qualifications. Not to mention, Xu Da is also the father-in-law of King Yan and a veteran in the army.

Li Qi naturally knew this and understood that his father was right, so he rolled his eyes and said, "Then transfer Wei Guogong back?" ”

Without Wei Guogong watching, those two boys wouldn't have flown into the sky!

When Li Shanchang heard this, his eyes widened and he said, "You said that you will transfer it back?" Who do you think your dad is? ”

Speaking of this, he looked outside the door, and then lowered his business and shouted: "Don't talk about this kind of thing in the future!" ”

"Dad, don't worry, when I first came in, I sent people away." When Li Qi saw it, he hurriedly explained, "Since Wei Guogong is here, what if those two boys not only did not lose, but also made a contribution?" ”

Listening to his son's chatter about things in the north, Li Shanchang put the brush back on the pen holder, then sat on the Taishi's chair, and motioned for his son to bring him the tea on the table.

After he got the tea, Li Shanchang looked at his son and said: "Everything is going well in the war in Yunnan, with the ability of Fu Youde and Mu Ying, as well as the ability to lead 200,000 troops, and the people's strategy deployed in advance, I believe that this year's victory will definitely come from Yunnan." On the Liaodong side, even if you win a battle? Compared with Yunnan, even if the emperor favored his son and son-in-law, there could be no reward. ”

Speaking of this, he paused, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and a sneer appeared: "Otherwise, the rewards of Yunnan soldiers are not good for the emperor, unless they want to reward and punish unknown!" ”

Li Shanchang spoke, but he was sure in his heart that now Meng Yuan was only expelled and not destroyed, if Zhu Yuanzhang was to reward Liaodong and Yunnan soldiers in the Yunnan War and Liaodong War were obviously not at the same level, it would definitely be a very significant blow to his prestige. With his wisdom, he will definitely not be able to do it, even if he wants to favor his Zhu family.

Li Qi understood that with Zhuyu on the side of the Yunnan war, even if King Yan and that kid won the battle in Liaodong, there would be no waves.

Thinking about this, he was a little happy. But he didn't stop there, he wanted to say more.

However, before he could speak, Li Shanchang saw it, and said one step ahead of him: "If you want to think about the defeat of Liaodong, it is unrealistic to let the Mongols kill that kid. Although there are many Tartars in Liaodong, I am afraid it is impossible to do it with the ability of Nanaha to defeat the general. Unless there is a miracle! ”

Speaking of this, he paused, took a sip of tea, and then saw that his son was very unhappy, so he continued: "But don't worry, with the little strength under King Yan, even if the firearms are sharp, they are limited by too few numbers and affected by the consumption of ammunition, it is also very difficult to achieve a great victory." The biggest possibility is that even if you make a small fuss, you can't do much. Unless the Emperor begins to mobilize a large number of men to the north, then it is possible to achieve a great victory! ”

Li Qi was still unhappy when he heard it, which was far from his expectations.

Li Shanchang naturally saw it, and to be honest, he was not happy.

Up and down the Ming Dynasty, the one who could make him Li Shanchang suffer a big loss but didn't retaliate back was the kid from Liujia Village!

Originally, I thought he was just an orphan in the countryside, and it was not a matter of words to pinch him. As a result, I didn't expect that I would repeatedly eat flat on this kid. This made him not sleep well for many days, and his chest hurt when he thought about it.

However, sometimes, he has to admit that this kid from Liujia Village really has the ability and can toss. Just the ability to make money, he was envious.

Last month, I was going to pick a group of students from that kid, and seriously, he wanted his son to go to school. As long as you learn that kid's ability, then you will have a good way to make money.

However, in the end, he couldn't pull off this face, and could only secretly hint that the younger students in his clan who were a little more distant should go to study.

Hey, how good it would be if that kid was his own son, even if he wasn't his son-in-law, as long as it was his own bloodline, he wouldn't let himself linger all the time, and he always had a thorn in his heart.

He was thinking about it, so he heard his son Li Qi say with some annoyance: "Then can't you do something?" Anyway, if it's just like that, it's really hard to calm down! ”

Li Shanchang didn't say that he held it in his heart, because he himself was uncomfortable.

After thinking for a moment, he looked up at his son and said, "In this case, you will praise both of them ......."

"Again?" When Li Qi heard this, he was immediately dissatisfied.

His father always said that he was killed, and he was killed, but it turned out to be praised, but where was the killing? People have been getting better and better!

When Li Shanchang heard his son's rhetorical question, of course he understood why his son said this, so he patiently explained: "I have already said just now, Liaodong cannot win much battle, but what about Yunnan? With the ability of Fu Youde and Mu Ying, leading an army of 200,000, and having won the first battle, has opened the passage into Yunnan and Guizhou, and recovering Yunnan is almost a sure thing. With this contrast, the higher we praise Liaodong, the worse it will be in the impression of others! ”

Speaking of this, he paused and said: "Of course, this kind of practice will definitely not cause the two of them to be actually damaged, that is, it will be bad in the impression of others, at most it is an impression, but the big thing is used to show off!" With such an impression, do you think it's worth doing? Whatever you want! ”

Li Qi listened, although he was a little unwilling, but he still gritted his teeth and said hatefully: "Do it, of course you have to do it, as long as there are more people disgusting him, I can be comfortable!" ”

Li Shanchang had expected that his son would agree, so he gave him an idea on how to do it.

So, on the Jingshi side, as the news of the war spread on the Liaodong side, there were many comments on the streets and alleys.

"I heard that King Yan and Da Juma also launched a war in Liaodong, and Liaodong may soon be included in my Ming territory."

"However, I heard that Liaodong is not the focus of this year's war! The emperor mobilized 200,000 horses from the north for the war in Yunnan. This year's big victory is the recovery of Yunnan, right? ”

"That's right, over there in Liaodong, I heard that there are only fifty or sixty thousand imperial court officers and soldiers, although they have won a battle before, but there are at least 200,000 horses in the Tartars, how can they fight?"

"That's right, if the 200,000 troops in Yunnan are transferred to Liaodong, I believe that they can win a big battle, and it is not impossible to take Liaodong. But now, let's look at Yunnan! ”

"This underestimates King Yan and the big horse, right? They are the youngest and most capable rising stars of our Ming Dynasty. In the future, our Ming Dynasty will still look at young people! ”

"You can't say that, the leaders in Yunnan are also in their prime. Although King Yan and Da Buma have the ability, they are still a little lacking compared to the founding generals of our Ming Dynasty. ”

"That's right, our Ming Dynasty's founding generals, they were all killed by the sea of corpses and blood, and what victory did King Yan and Da Ma have? At the end of last year, more than 30,000 Tartar troops were wiped out, which is no match for other founding generals! ”

“……”

But when it comes to this year's war, most of the general topics are like this, and eventually escalate into quarrels.

Is it the rising star who is more powerful, or the founding star who is more powerful?

For most people, that's of course the most powerful of the founding generals. However, there is such a small part, in that nonsense, I have to say that the combination of Yan Wang and Da Horse in the north is the rising star of the Ming Dynasty, the blue is better than the blue, the back waves of the Yangtze River push the front waves, and the front waves are slapped to death on the beach......

All this has made the public opinion on the side of Jingshi fall into the debate between veterans and rising stars, and most of them are on the side of veterans, and they are very disgusted by the aggressive arguments of King Yan and Da Concubine.

This kind of public opinion was naturally sniffed by the imperial history that had heard about it.

There is a part of the imperial history, although they are not used to the arrogance of this rising star, but they don't want to offend King Yan, let alone offend the big horse who makes money, so they pretend not to hear it. However, there are still some imperial historians who think they are honest and upright, and they are very unaccustomed to this kind of public opinion.

After a check, they gave Emperor Hongwu a script, impeaching the Jingshi atmosphere, saying that some sycophants of King Yan and the big horse were unscrupulous, ignoring the facts, and blowing the merits of the king of Yan and the big horse better than the famous generals of the country, so that not only the king of Yan and the big horse were trapped in injustice, but also would promote the wind of flattery, and the source must be traced and the lawlessness must be investigated.

Zhu Yuanzhang is actually willing to go in this direction, but on the surface, he also has to compromise, just as he wanted to recruit people into the palace for entertainment, but he was blocked by the imperial history, forcing him to admit his mistake.

As a result, Zhu Yuanzhang asked Jin Yiwei to investigate, and found that the argument that King Yan and the big horse were more bullish at first turned out to be from the Korean government, which surprised everyone (this will really have glasses).

You must know that the big horse was originally competing with the Korean government for Princess Lin'an. It stands to reason that even if you don't mind, you won't be so popular in the first place, right?

Who is Zhu Yuanzhang! He immediately sniffed out the malice hidden behind this matter.
