As soon as they met, they were pulled to write a report, Xia Yuan was stunned for a while, then looked at the brush that was stuffed in his hand, and asked, "What kind of report did Zhang Shuai let his subordinates write?" ”

Someone helped write a report, Zhang Mao's whole person relaxed, at this time he was already sitting down on the chair next to him, heard the words and looked outside, and then asked in a low voice: "Did the Jinyi guard look for you today?" ”

"Yes."

"Oh, then you also know about the disappearance of His Royal Highness the Prince, those Zijinyi guards also came to the old man at noon, and asked Weihaiwei if there was any trace of the prince, where did Weihaiwei have.

Hey, after all, you will write to the minister Zhang Mao sent someone to secretly search, Weihaiwei did not find any trace of the prince inside and outside, the minister will continue to search, and if you find any trace of Your Highness, you will immediately report to Your Majesty. Hey, you are a reader, there is ink in your stomach, you look at and write, do you still use the old man to teach? ”

Hearing this, Xia Yuan's brows furrowed, he thought that Zhu Houzhao, the dog prince, would appear in Weihaiwei, but who would have thought that there would be.

He couldn't help but ask, "No?" Zhang Shuai searched the entire Weihaiwei so quickly? Can you search carefully? ”

"How do you search? A search is not so troublesome that everyone knows, and there is no need to search, although the old man has not led troops to fight with the enemy, but it is not that the old man will not be in charge of the army, you go out to see, the whole Weihaiwei dare not say that it is orderly, it is also in order.

The old man made the slats up and down in Weihaiwei smooth, not to mention His Royal Highness the Prince, even if a fly flew in, it was impossible to escape the old man's eyes. ”

"Moreover, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince left by boat, and the old man went to ask the port wharf, but no ships have arrived in recent days, so it can be seen that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince did not come to Weihaiwei."

Speaking of this, Zhang Mao began to sigh again, "Now that the Ming Dynasty has all gathered in Weihaiwei, hundreds of ships will sail in the port in a few days, but now there is such a thing.

Hey, the old man was looking forward to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince coming to our Weihaiwei, so that he could give an explanation to His Majesty, so that His Majesty could rest assured, but His Royal Highness really didn't come. ”

"The old man heard that you have a bad relationship with the crown prince, where do you think His Royal Highness the crown prince is now?"

“.”

Xia Yuan couldn't answer these words, you ask me such a question, and I am not a roundworm in the stomach of the dog prince.

I don't know where he is.

The only thing that is certain is that the purpose of Prince Gou's escape from prison this time is very clear, that is, to go to war.

This unfortunate kid has a fanaticism for the military that ordinary people can't understand.

Now it has been five days since the escape from prison, and it is a waterway by boat, and five days is enough time to be transported into the sea along the water.

The sea is vast, there is not even a reference, it is easy to get lost, it is not certain where that dog thing is floating now, it is not good, even Zhu Houzhao himself does not know where he is.

"I really can't say where His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is, and I don't dare to speculate."

"If you don't know, forget it, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has his own celestial phenomena, and nothing will happen to him."

Zhang Mao was in a good state of mind, put this matter aside, and then stopped talking, and sat next to him and watched Xia Yuan write a report.

After a while, Xia Yuan stopped his pen and dried the ink, "Zhang Shuai, the lower official has finished writing, you see, it can't be done." ”

He picked it up and looked at it casually, then shook his head repeatedly, "Okay, okay, this pen has to be your reader, let a rough person like the old man write, there is no ink in his stomach, and the words are still written crookedly, Your Majesty is worried when he looks at it." ”

Carefully putting away this report, Zhang Mao looked at him again and asked: "You are the assistant director of the Japanese government this time, I don't know what you think about this matter?" ”

When Xia Yuan heard this, he immediately replied with a serious face: "I don't have an opinion." The lower official is a civilian official, and this time with the army is nothing more than doing some clerical work of copying and writing, keeping accounts, writing a document or something, and relying on Zhang Shuai and even the generals to fight the war. ”

Hearing this, Zhang Mao stared at him for a while, and then smiled, "You kid is very slippery, but the old man has already heard that this time you took the initiative to ask for help in the expedition of the Japanese country with the army."

How comfortable is it to stay in Beijing, I want to come to the army, is it possible that you just want to follow the army to keep accounts and write documents? Dogs can do this job, the old man is old, and he doesn't read much, so you don't want to frame me. ”

Xia Yuan's cheeks twitched.

This old man is a lot old, and he still speaks so playfully, your dog can still keep accounts and write papers?

"Zhang Shuai don't misunderstand, the lower officials really think like this, the government does not interfere with the army, the army does not interfere in politics, what should be handed over to someone to do, civilian officials do civilian affairs, and military generals do military generals."

Hearing this, Zhang Mao's slightly cloudy eyes flashed, and there are not many civil officials who can carry it like this.

In recent years, there have always been civilian officials accompanying the army in all wars, and whenever there are civilian officials accompanying the army, they will always point fingers at the war and even seize authority.

If you know about war, for example, Wang Shi in the southwest of Naping, although he was born as a jinshi and a civil official, but after being sent to the southwest to supervise military affairs, he still led the army to level Miru, and he did have two brushes.

The most fearful thing is to meet those civilian officers who don't understand the war at all, and command indiscriminately.

With identity and authority, generals often have nothing to do about it, so that they delay the fighter, or even lose the battlefield, or even defeat it.

This time, I heard that it was this Xia Yuan who was with the army, Zhang Mao was still worried in his heart, but the twenty-year-old hairy boy was young and frivolous, and he was in power, in case he pointed fingers, he really didn't know how to deal with it.

Now that I heard him say this, I felt a little relieved, whether it was true or false, at least the words were given.

"And when the subordinate asked for his life, he once said to His Majesty that the minister didn't know much about this military matter, and he would never point fingers when he went to the battlefield."

Xia Yuan said it very humbly and sincerely.

In this conquest of the Japanese, he served as the assistant director of the conquest of the Japanese and the government, and he had the authority to participate in the affairs of the conquest and the requisition, and his power was not insignificant, but he would never dare to use it indiscriminately.

In his previous life, he was a social animal who enjoyed good fortune, and when it came to political laws, he still knew something, after all, this is what he studied in college.

After crossing over, he did make some decrees and became a trader a few times, driving the Ming Empire forward for a while, but he would not swell to the point that he could do everything.

Xia Yuan is still self-aware.

He has been a man in two lives, not to mention fighting, he has not even fought a few times, where does he know what art of war and what command he knows.

In this world, the most taboo thing is for the layman to command the insider.

Not to mention things like war, which are related to life and death, and the rise and fall of a country.

"The subordinate officer doesn't understand military affairs, where do you have any opinions, if it's nonsense, then it's a bully, Zhang Shuai said yes?"

Zhang Mao smiled and waved his hand, "You are quite modest, it's just that, since you don't want to say it, the old man is not easy to force, but if you have any suggestions, you must tell the old man in time." You, the assistant in the administration of the Japanese army, have the responsibility to participate in the war. ”

"Yes, Zhang Shuai rest assured, if the lower officials have any good suggestions, they will definitely tell Zhang Shuai as soon as possible."

"With your words, the old man will be down-to-earth, this battle is a matter of everyone's strategy, so there will be a lot of advice, and this battle will be fought."

After saying another sentence, Zhang Mao changed his words and said with a smile: "Okay, the old man won't force you to stay, it's inevitable that you will be tired after marching for many days, go back and rest, so you can rest for a night, and now the army is assembled, and you will sail out of Hong Kong in a few days." ”
