The Ming Dynasty’s Prodigal Son - Chapter 1896
[1896.Chapter 1805: An extremely powerful minister]
The money from the most respected minister was finally paid in full.
The whole military department was naturally cheering.
But Wang Shouren was very calm, because he had expected this result from the beginning!
They all know one thing very well: any matter that cannot be solved within the rules, as long as you talk to your teacher, he will definitely solve it perfectly.
In fact, this kind of pushback between various departments will always exist. Even Wang Shouren feels a little powerless in the face of this.
Therefore, my mentor is worthy of being a mentor!
When he saw Jin Gui again and saw that he looked like he was dead, Wang Shouren didn’t have hatred in his eyes, but sympathy.
It’s not easy for everyone!
Everything is ready, and the mighty army sets off along with the railway!
The rumbling steam train roared, transporting countless soldiers who had long been eager to establish meritorious deeds to the farthest west.
Yumen Pass has been closed, and all caravans are not allowed to enter or exit. Even everyone needs to be interrogated to strictly guard against elaboration.
Half a month later, Fang Jifan arrived at Yumen Pass, where Yumen Pass had become a large military camp.
The First Battalion of the First Army, as the advance team, began to set off to the west, and then… various troops and horses began to leave the border one after another.
The nights here are extremely cold, and the cold air is pervasive.
Of course… Fang Jifan has some ideas about solving the problem of severe cold.
For example… his tent was covered with three inner and outer layers of Persian blankets. Sheepskin was originally more effective, but there was no way, the smell was a bit sour, and no matter how much he tried to deal with it, he couldn’t solve the smell. Weird smell.
Then he ordered people to dig a hole under the tent, and burned the earth dragon inside.
So the entire tent was placed on top of the earth dragon to bake, and the hot steam rose up along the soil, newly laid floor tiles, and carpets.
Fang Jifan was so hot that he had to drink iced watermelon juice in this cold winter, just to make himself feel better.
That night, he compiled a memorial and sent it back to the capital that night.
This time…it is impossible for His Majesty to conduct the expedition in person.
After all, he had gone too far recently, so Zhu Houzhao could only stay in the capital honestly and appointed Fang Jifan as commander-in-chief.
However, Fang Jifan was a person who had escaped from low-level tastes and had no interest in these so-called achievements.
But this does not mean that Fang Jifan has no selfish motives. For example… he packed up his disciples, disciples, and the guards who usually follow him.
Even some of the old soldiers who had followed his father were brought with him.
In the current situation, the only one in the world who can compete with the Ming Dynasty is Osman.
After passing this village, there is no such store!
Fang Jifan is a conscientious person.
Xishan Academy has mobilized more than 900 people, including people of all colors. Most of them are included in the advisory group, responsible for giving advice, or accompanying the army to solve problems in the army.
As for Xishan Medical College, it has almost been vacated. Su Yue happily brought hundreds of medical students, who were sharpening their knives and waiting for ready-made patients.
What’s more, after this battle, military merit can still be achieved.
In the Ming Dynasty, military merit was the most valuable, which meant that one would be hereditary and one would live with the country.
Fang Jifan’s memorial was sent to the capital. After Zhu Hou took care of it, he started to complain to Liu Jin with a look of displeasure on his face: “Old Fang, this piece of shit, I’m still alive, so he started selling it, and he took it to me everywhere. If you sell favors, sooner or later you will sell them all.”
As he spoke, Zhu Houzhao began to grind his teeth, looking unhappy.
When Liu Jin saw His Majesty complaining about his godfather, he was shocked and wanted to explain.
At this time, Zhu Houzhao sighed and said: “That’s all, this guy… It’s not the first day I knew he was unjust. Since he has been in the memorial… what else can I say.”
With that, Liu Jin took it. A box came, and several eunuchs struggled to open it.
I saw that this box was full of various kinds of seals.
Zhu Houzhao got almost half of his body into the box, and just found a seal from the full box.
This is the emperor’s treasure, the authentic jade seal.
Compared with other seals, it is a bit more primitive.
Zhu Houzhao breathed a sigh of relief toward the emperor’s treasure, clicked it, and approved the memorial personally, and immediately ordered someone to send it out.
Immediately afterwards… the prince Zhu Zaimo went to Yumen Pass according to the order!
It was Fang Jifan’s plan to bring His Royal Highness here.
This is his nephew, his nephew, his disciple, and even his little brother… No matter from which level of relationship, as the prince, Zhu Zaimo not only needs to be tempered, but also needs to be in the military. Establish credibility.
When Fang Jifan submitted the letter, almost everyone knew it.
At this time, everyone inside and outside the court suddenly realized, hey, there is actually such an operation?
This piece of shit Fang Jifan… he deserves his position as a supreme minister.
Zhu Zaimo was very mobile and ran over in a flash. When he got off the train, he saw Fang Jifan dressed in military uniform and majestic coming to pick him up.
When monarchs and ministers, masters and apprentices, uncles and nephews, and brothers-in-law meet here, it is inevitable that they will have some emotions.
Fang Jifan wanted to salute Zhu Zaimo, but Zhu Zaimo quickly stepped aside and then solemnly saluted Fang Jifan.
Since Fang Jifan returned home, everyone has been very busy and hasn’t had much communication with each other, so today… it feels like we have seen each other after many years, and I always feel a little awkward.
Zhu Zaimo’s apprenticeship completely clarified the relationship between the two.
Fang Jifan could only touch his well-maintained and well-groomed short beard, nodded and said: “Your Highness has been tired from the journey. Logically speaking, His Highness should have a good rest. However, the military situation is very strong, and I have summoned all the generals to come.” I’m waiting here to discuss with His Highness how to defeat the enemy.”
Zhu Zaimo understood.
His mentor…this is to let him meet the people in the army.
That’s how people are…
Everyone says they must be loyal to the emperor, but the emperor is aloof. Others are ministers, and you are also a minister. How should you be loyal?
But things are different now.
The prince came to the army and personally commanded everyone to kill the enemy. In this way, everyone had the opportunity to get close.
If there is a great victory in the future, for His Royal Highness, this will be a shining moment in life, and it will inevitably be mentioned often.
It is inevitable that he will become a little closer to the generals he served for back then.
The generals also knew that with this experience, even if they didn’t say a word in front of the prince today, they would be considered the confidants of the future emperor in the future.
So… all the people in this big tent are people.
Both humans and ghosts are here.
Everyone was both nervous and excited.
I still feel full of gratitude to the regent.
The regent is really exquisite, he is paving the way for everyone.
Whether they are military attachés of the New Army or counselors from Xishan Academy, these people are all disciples of Fang Jifan!
Some studied under Liu Wenshan, some followed Su Yue, and some studied under Wang Shouren when they were in the army. Not only inside the big tent, but also outside the big tent. Some people with low status could only wait outside, but in On this cold and windy day, people are extremely excited.
As soon as Zhu Zaimo arrived, everyone rushed thousands of miles away, shouting for a thousand years.
Zhu Zaimo took a deep look at Fang Jifan, and he knew in his heart that his mentor… really worked hard for him.
The grateful look in his eyes could no longer be hidden.
The meeting in the big account lasted until the third watch.
In fact… the battle plan has mostly been drawn up, but now it is just a formality, how the various armies will attack, which key point to attack first, and how to respond to each other.
What kind of results are expected to be achieved in the first offensive…
Zhu Zaimo only listens attentively and generally does not express opinions.
Over the years, he has become very clear that although he has been trained by his mentor, there are still many things that he does not understand. Many times… there is no need to show that he is smarter than others. He can slowly observe and learn from them, so that more people can learn from them. Only when talented people have the opportunity to express themselves in front of themselves is the true way to be a king.
A few days later…more troops and horses began to set off.
Countless supplies were piled up like mountains, and using Yumen Pass as a transit, they began to be transported into the depths of the desert.
Zhu Zaimo immediately led the main force of the Eighth Army to set off, followed by Fang Jifan.
In this desert, countless military horses and civilians have set up supply points in the oases along the way.
It only took two months to come and go…
the war was about to break out.
