Fang Jifan narrowed his eyes and began to think, then... he lowered his head and said, "Let Wang Shouren come, and Tang Yin..."

After giving the order, Wang Shouren and Tang Yin rushed over without stopping.

Fang Jifan looked up, looked at them just at first, and said in an unquestionable tone: "There is one thing that you need to help you find a prescription, and the goal is very simple..."

As he said that, Fang Jifan spread out the map he had prepared long ago and then explained the current dilemma of the northern province.

Fang Jifan actually didn't know much about this military matter.

Military is a profound and profound knowledge, and it is by no means possible to learn it by reading a Romance of the Three Kingdoms.

Because of this, Fang Jifan would never learn these things that are not available, which would cause trouble for others.

On the contrary, Fang Jifan placed hope on Wang Shouren and Tang Yin.

Needless to say, Wang Shouren is simply a genius. He was the one who quelled the rebellion of Jiaozhi and he was also the one who managed the Urals. Even Wang Shouren in history, during the past two hundred years of the Ming Dynasty, Wang Shouren's military talents were still among the top ten.

As for Tang Yin, after practicing the navy for a long time, even if he was a pig, he should have learned it.

Fang Jifan believed that Wang Shouren and Tang Yin could think of a solution if Jiang Chen, who was far away in the sky, could have a glimmer of life.

Fang Jifan immediately said: "The biggest problem now is that Jiang Chen's life and death are unknown, and whether the Northern Province is completely lost to the hands of Spain is unknown. Even if they are still alive, even if the Northern Province has not yet fallen completely, Jiang Chen and his soldiers are probably already in a state of entanglement. "" The trouble we are facing now is that the iron armor ship is good, but the harbor along our way has not been established yet, so it is impossible to give iron armor.

The ship contributed sufficient fuel. Our iron-armored naval division has not been fully trained yet, so I am afraid it will be embarrassing now. "But if we send an ordinary fleet across thousands of miles of oceans, we still have to face the entire Spanish who are waiting for the battle, and even... the enemy is secret. ""Our goal now is to have a foothold in the northern province. At the same time, if Jiang Chen and the others are still alive, they will rescue them. Now, do you understand what it means to be a teacher?"

Wang Shouren and Tang Yin looked at each other at the same time, and then... took a deep breath.

It can be said that this is almost an incomplete task.

The biggest problem is...the situation of Franchis, they know almost nothing.

If the ironclad fleet cannot be used, then when the fleet arrives at the Franc, the nearest supply point will be at most in the North Kunlun Continent. Once it enters the Franc, it means that the supply is exhausted.

This is also why Fang Jifan must retain the Northern Province.

Only when the Franchise aircraft is left with a base, once the Ming Dynasty is determined to attack the Franchise on a large scale, the vast fleet that covers the sky and the sun is carrying countless military horses across the ocean, there must be a place to land, provide supplies, and accommodate enough troops for rest.

This is the greatest use of the Northern Province.

Wang Shouren took a deep breath again. He carefully summarized all the limited news, looked at the map, and began to study it carefully.

Tang Yin also seemed extremely cautious... and he pondered it for a long time.

After that, Tang Yin sighed and said, "Mr.... The student has a saying that he doesn't know whether he should say it or not..."

Fang Jifan looked at him, then said with a tense face: "If you can't speak, don't talk nonsense."

Tang Yin: “…”

So Fang Jifan put hope on Wang Shouren, looked at Wang Shouren with bright eyes and said, "Boan, is there any way?"

Very surprising...

"Yes!" Wang Shouren decisively cut off the railway.

Fang Jifan's eyes lit up and he hurriedly said, "Are you sure?"

"Yes!" Wang Shouren's answer is always so straightforward."

Wang Shouren said: "Did the mentor notice something? According to the report, the Spanish invaded in a large scale, advanced by land and water, and together with the German states, they vowed to completely take the Northern Province. But why did the French keep holding their troops?"

Fang Jifan was excited, but he thought for a while but couldn't figure out why.

So Wang Shouren said again: "France was almost surrounded by the Spanish on three sides. To the east, it was Austria of the Habsburg family. To the west, it was Spain, to the northeast, and the German states. This time, they stood on the side of Habsburg. Once the Spanish took over the northern province, France would be completely surrounded by tightly."

"Therefore, they know more than anyone that once the Northern Province falls, Spain's hegemony will be more stable and they will never cooperate with the Spanish. On the other hand, the Northern Province is controlled by our Ming Dynasty, and they are also very wary of our Ming Dynasty."

"So, after thinking about it, we encountered a huge problem. If we sent a large number of ships to provide assistance, then... our enemy was only the Spanish, but next... we were afraid that even the French would not be able to sit still, so we had to unite with the Spanish and fight with our Ming fleet."

Fang Jifan nodded secretly.

He has never paid attention to France, but now when he thinks about it, it is indeed the case.

The Franji people's fear of the Ming Dynasty was taken for granted. The French did not move at all, because they were in a dilemma.

Once the Ming Dynasty's fleet appeared in the seas of Francis, it would make the French believe that a nightmare similar to the original invasion of the Arab Empire would be repeated, and it would inevitably unite with the Spanish and fight the Ming Dynasty's fleet.

And this is a vast ocean. How many fleets and armies can the Ming Dynasty send?

The current supply of various ports can guarantee 30,000 people and hundreds of ships, which is the limit.

Facing the entire Francisco, there may not be a chance of winning.

Wang Shouren continued: "So, we must not send all the navy troops, but we must rescue them. In this way, in the eyes of the French, the troops sent by the Ming Dynasty were limited, which was enough to make the French relax their vigilance against the Ming Dynasty. But at the same time, the troops we sent must ensure a certain combat power and to be able to hurt the Spanish, only this is the only way... "

Wang Shouren said lightly: "Only in this way can one rise and fall, and slow down the attack of the Spanish. On the other hand, if envoys are sent to contact the French, then... Once the balance is broken, it will definitely arouse the French's fighting for hegemony. At that time, with the help of the French, checking and balancing Spain, the northern province can completely turn danger into safety."

Wang Shouren said this and sighed: "Of course, what the students said is just a rough idea. How to implement it, how to grasp the balance, how many people are sent, which can make the French people relax their vigilance against our Ming Dynasty. On the premise of relaxing their vigilance, how can they beat the Spanish, break the balance of power, and arouse the greed of the French people. All of the above need to be carefully considered. If one wrong step is wrong, every step will be wrong, and in the end... it is very likely to have irreversible consequences."

"Therefore, two capable people must be allowed to go to France, and with the help of him, negotiate with the French. The other person leads the fleet to sail, arrives at the Franco, and executes a secret plan. This plan... must be seamless... This person naturally needs to be proficient in navigation and have the ability to stand on his own."

Hearing this, Fang Jifan immediately looked up at Liu Wenshan and Tang Yin.

Fang Jifan held his chin: "Is that true? Such a person really can't even find a lantern. The former needs to know Franchise's situation well and also have to be good at communicating with others. The latter needs to be a navy commander..."

Tang Yin and Liu Wenshan looked at each other and suddenly, they understood everything.

…………

Emperor Hongzhi had already received the report and was immediately worried.

Then he summoned Fang Jifan to meet him.

During this interview, only Liu Jian and a few others accompanied him.

When Fang Jifan saw a few people, he understood in his heart that in accordance with the principle of discussing small matters in the conference and major matters in the conference, His Majesty must have received the news.

Fang Jifan performed his rituals, and Emperor Hongzhi said, "I heard that the Northern Province is about to fall, and the Spanish are aggressive. This Spain is really my nightmare. Jifan..."

Fang Jifan's eyes were firm and said, "Your Majesty, I have a plan."

As he said that, he took out a charter from his sleeve and handed it over to Xiao Jing.

Emperor Hongzhi looked surprised.

He never expected that Fang Jifan had already prepared a solution to the problem.

This made Emperor Hongzhi nodded in his heart. Jifan was really dedicated to serving the country.

After opening the report and taking a closer look, Emperor Hongzhi couldn't help but frown and said, "Breaking the Spaniards? How to beat the pain? This is unclear in this message. Can it really be implemented?"

Fang Jifan said: "Your Majesty, Franji is thousands of miles away. This is why they dare to cause trouble. If they are closer, why should I be so difficult in the Ming Dynasty? Your Majesty moves his finger and teaches them to ashes."

Of course... this is not a boast.

Throughout the dynasties, after the central dynasty was unified, the surrounding enemies were almost unwilling to accept the Central Plains dynasty as long as they were within thousands of miles of the capital.

Fang Jifan then said: "But because of the distance, the situation there is ever-changing, so the most important thing is to let the commander master the opportunity to grasp the fighter and adapt to the situation. If the formulating this charter is too detailed, it will tie their hands and feet. Therefore... the minister thinks that what the court needs to do is to be fully prepared and give the commander enough trust, then... everything will come naturally. Your Majesty knows the two disciples of the minister. Liu Wenshan had been to Franji in his early years. Tang Yin used to control the Ningbo Navy. With him, he could not guarantee success, but... the minister believes that if there is a possibility of a triumphal, they will definitely fight for their lives and strive for it."
