One thousand two hundred seventy chapters: ambition

At this moment, the officials were listening to Zhu Houzhao's blaming.

I heard that I was going to Tianjin Wei Guanwu, so I... showed my bitter faces one by one.

When it was cold and cold, I ran to Guanwu. Isn’t this full and full?

There are some good things about Qiu Ba.

But now, they found that they no longer had the right to choose.

At the forefront of the storm, it is almost equivalent to seeking death.

Emperor Hongzhi made a decision after a single word. Since it was decided, everyone had to say that His Majesty was wise.

This made Fang Jifan touch his nose.

I feel that these damn ministers are suspected of stealing their jobs.

When it comes to flattery, Fang Jifan is actually very self-aware. He may be better than Xiao Jing, the old guy, but the civil officials of the Ming Dynasty were not the most talented person. At the beginning, they couldn't let go of their figure and wanted to maintain a little so-called character, so their talents have not been fully discovered.

But if you throw it away, you're really shameless...

Fang Jifan felt that the competition in the future would be very large.

You need to practice diligently in the future.

Emperor Hongzhi was worried that Zhu Houzhao would come all the way. Although this guy still looked very interested, the father and son had not seen each other for many days and had a lot to say, he still sent Zhu Houzhao to get out and rest.

Zhu Houzhao resigned happily, pulled Fang Jifan and left. Xiao Jing had arranged a mansion for Zhu Houzhao. Zhu Houzhao pulled Fang Jifan, as if he had something to say. After entering the mansion, there was no one around. He excitedly put his hands behind his back: "This firearm is very interesting, your long gun is very interesting."

Fang Jifan saw that he was so excited, but he could understand it. After all... Although Zhu Houzhao had a wide range of interests, he was still his military service over the years.

Fang Jifan smiled and said, "I don't know how my military and infantry practice is practiced."

"It's very effective." Zhu Houzhao said: "It's so interesting. Changpingwei has now become a good example and can achieve the same order. Your method is quite meaningful...but..."

Zhu Houzhao paused for a moment, and he looked at Fang Jifan: "There is a big thing that I want to tell you, but I don't want to tell you."

Fang Jifan: "..."

Zhu Houzhao sighed: "Do you know why I want to go to Tianjin Wei?"

Fang Jifan said: "Your Highness the Crown Prince wants His Majesty to see the power of the new army."

Zhu Houzhao shook her head: "If you want to see, isn't it okay to be in Changping? Lao Fang, have you become more and more confused recently?"

Fang Jifan suddenly had a bad premonition: "Your Highness, don't scare me."

Zhu Houzhao patted his shoulder: "You can choose not to listen."

Fang Jifan's face was unstable, and he finally gritted his teeth: "Listen, Your Highness, you'll finish your words."

"Then I said, you sit firmly, and, don't drink tea at this time, so as not to choke." Zhu Houzhao held his chin, and he cared about Fang Jifan very much.

Fang Jifan subconsciously pulled his hand back, but found that the back was empty.

He was nervous and wanted to bring safety.

It’s just a pity that there are no seat belts in this era.

Zhu Houzhao immediately took out a letter from her sleeve: "You can read it yourself."

Fang Jifan opened the letter and saw that he suddenly understood everything.

This is a secret report sent from overseas, and it was delivered by Siyang Commercial Bank.

And the person who wrote this letter... was written by Wang Xi.

Wang Xi was still alive when he made this dog.

In the letter, Wang Xizuo said that after he went to sea, he soon gained the trust of the Spanish. He even returned to Franchis and had a meeting with the Spanish king in Madrid.

The Spanish king was obviously very satisfied with him and rewarded him with a bag of gold. Not only that, he also intended to confer his title.

Of course, Wang Xizuo looked down on these things at all.

He has been Chineseized long ago.

So far, he has been away from Franji all the time, missing the food in Beijing, missing his mansion with more than ten acres of land, and whether the mortgage that Duke of Qi once promised him to pay him back for him would be fulfilled.

He spread the vulnerable remarks of the Ming Dynasty again and again.

The Spanish attacked Xinjin, and the battle of Xinjin was successful, which made the Spanish realize that the Ming Dynasty was more like a mud-footed giant.

Of course, the destruction of several ships, under Wang Xizuo's repeated instigation, also made the Spaniards relax their vigilance. They believed that this small fleet should have encountered a storm.

No matter what.

The Spanish are inflated.

There is a reason for them to expand. After all, their ships roam the world, their army is invincible, and they do not take any non-Francisian seriously.

Given that the Han people are increasing in the American continent, there are huge competitive pressure.

In the Kingdom of Spain, an expedition was planned at the beginning of last year.

Their combat plan is very simple.

Wang Xizhuo acts as a guide.

Through the church, mediate with the Portuguese, hoping to get the necessary assistance.

The Portuguese had long been worried about the Ming Dynasty's expansion in the West, and they were happy to see it happening.

Then, a fleet will quickly pass through the West and take advantage of their Clippers, carrying more than 2,000 soldiers to arrive at Tianjin Guard.

Wang Xizuo told them that Tianjin was only a hundred miles away from the capital of the Ming Dynasty. As long as it was captured by Tianjin Wei, it could quickly kill the imperial city of the Ming Dynasty, and then break the city in one fell swoop. By that time, the entire Ming Dynasty would surrender to the great Spanish kingdom.

God knows what medicine the Spaniards took wrong, but they actually... they believed it.

So, a huge fleet had already set off.

This secret letter was first sent to the Luzon colony where the Portuguese were located after special means of encrypting it, and then sent to Beijing via the Siyang Trading Company.

The reason why Fang Jifan did not receive this letter was that he came to Changping himself. Liu Jin's dog thing made people rush to give it to Zhu Houzhao, who had a clear address.

Fang Jifan took a deep breath: "Your Highness, this letter was sent half a year ago. At the same time, the Spanish fleet had already set off roughly, which means... it is very likely that they... have arrived at the East Ocean along the current?"

"That's right." Zhu Houzhao said: "They are very likely to have passed Jiaozhi, and even have passed Jiaozhi. If they were faster, they might not have arrived at Tianjin Wei these days. They should have provided supplies in the Portuguese place. Now they have to make a concerted effort to attack Tianjin Wei, and then attack our Ming Dynasty capital."

Zhu Houzhao couldn't help but grin: "Are these people crazy? They only have more than 2,000 people, and they dare to climb to land and fight against my Ming Dynasty. My Ming Dynasty has a million armors."

Fang Jifan looked at Zhu Houzhao deeply: "Soldiers are more important than elites. They understand this truth very much in this regard for the past hundred years. Moreover, although the Ming Dynasty had a million armors, the real soldiers and horses in the capital were only 70,000 to 80,000. Prince, do you know that the Spanish, who fought in the world in recent years, often used hundreds of people, or thousands of people, defeated tens of thousands, or even tens of thousands of troops? The Spanish gave people the impression that their ships were powerful, but in fact... it was not so. They could only rely on a small country, but the world was built on their infantry. Because their infantry always used one to do ten. Under the agitation of Wang Xi, they had such confidence that two thousand people were enough to expedition to the Ming Dynasty."

After hearing this, Zhu Houzhao remembered that from some of the captives of the Franji people, there were indeed cases of defeating tens of thousands or even tens of thousands of troops in the West and Golden Continents.

In the eyes of the Spanish, the Ming Dynasty was just a little stronger than the Manlaga and the Indians.

What's more, this time was a surprise attack, and there was another excellent guide who was very familiar with the situation of the Ming Dynasty.

Well……

Wang Xizuo...he is such a godly person.

Damn...it can be fooled in this way.

Fang Jifan was amused and laughed at the secret report.

"I have Wang Xizhu, which can be worth 100 houses. I have decided that he has made great contributions this time and I will reward him with thirty acres of land." Fang Jifan couldn't help but say, "But your Highness... what are your plans?"

"Simple." Zhu Houzhao said: "First hide it from my father. You know and I know this secret report. If a third person knows it, Lao Fang, you have harmed me. You must not betray your brother."

Fang Jifan seemed to have eaten a fly: "..."

"Let your father go to Tianjin Guard first. When the time is right, then report it to you secretly. Tianjin Guard has a great relationship and will never allow any mistakes, but you also know. If the father is not in Tianjin Guard, he will definitely not display heavy troops in this Tianjin Guard gate. In order not to allow any mistakes, all officials will definitely shrink all their troops and wait for their hard work. They want to fight the Franchisemen in the capital. Tianjin Guard now has so many docks and is building steam engine ships. This steam engine ship has not been built, so even the second one will not be launched until March next year."

Zhu Houzhao said: "So, we must take down all these thieves who landed in Tianjin in one fell swoop, and no one is allowed to be let go. This palace needs to have enough troops to cut off all their retreats. Only when the father is there and the one who follows him will there be tens of thousands of cavalry and Jinwu Guard officers and soldiers. This is enough to wipe out these damn Franchise men in a short time. Do you understand what this palace means?"

Fang Jifan understood.

What Zhu Houzhao asked for was not the absolute safety of the capital, but to let these friends who came from afar be defeated in the shortest time, leaving no one behind.

What he wants is that once he wins completely, there will be no mistakes.

But... Your Majesty is so innocent, you are fooled by you all day long?

Zhu Houzhao looked at Fang Jifan seriously: "Lao Fang, you have to believe in me. I have been waiting for this day for too long!"
