Chapter 1338: Merit
The treasury was released from the palace, and Fang Jifan and the commander of the two battalions were ordered to train troops.
Fang Jifan was extremely enthusiastic about this.
There are many people in their military academy who have a place to use their skills in the military training.
As for recruiting soldiers and everything you need, it is not difficult.
What is most lacking in the world is silver.
Fang Jifan invited someone to tell them.
Personnel can be recruited from Jiaozhi.
Jiaozhi has a large number of new students.
The Jiaozhi Administration Commissioner is no different from other places. On the one hand, they are the same as Han Chinese books and have similar customs. The most important thing is that perhaps because Neo-Confucianism was not prosperous in Jiaozhi, as soon as new ideas such as New Learning were introduced, they immediately began to spread like crazy.
On the contrary, compared with the other two thirteen provinces of the capital, Jiaozhi actually has the widest range of new learning and the most deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
In other places, there are still old schools that resist the spread of new schools. There are pedantic scholars who interfere everywhere, but the governors and envoys are like a piece of white paper. Now... there are new students everywhere.
Since the Qin and Han dynasties, Jiaozhi has been owned by the Han territory. Although it was occasionally established, it often belonged to the Han territory, with the land being the Han territory and the people being the Han people.
Fang Jifan understood Emperor Hongzhi's thoughts and gave two camps to serve as imperial guards for the Fang family in preparation for the future franchise.
God knows where the descendants of the Fang family will be enfeoffed.
Therefore, an absolutely reliable guard is essential.
Therefore, Fang Jifan planned to recruit new students and serve as backbone members of the two battalions.
All new students in Beijing are Bao, but the new students in Jiaozhi are much more affordable and have a high cost-effectiveness.
They have strong patience and are more fanatical than the new scholars in the thirteen provinces of the two capitals and thirteen provinces. They are the best candidates.
Fang Jifan planned to create a new school camp.
Since this is the case, the backbone military officers who lead the troops must be the new scholars.
Of course, the new great scholars did not read the Four Books and Five Classics all day long.
Most of them are martial, know how to ride and shoot, and learn a variety of knowledge.
Use theory to build an unbreakable group.
Fang Jifan carefully selected some backbones, first went to Jiaozhi, and set up the frames of Zhengqing Camp and Tianci Camp.
Then, Wang Jinyuan was told to appoint a backbone of a military research institute to Jiaozhi.
Of course, this is not to ask them to make weapons, but to observe first and formulate a logistics system for two battalions.
What weapons are suitable for use, how to fight, how to practice, and how to divide the logistics.
This is all a big deal.
After the preparations were made, Fang Jifan felt much more at ease.
He called Fang Zhengqing in front of him.
Looking at his son, Fang Jifan sighed: "Zhengqing..."
"Father." It seemed that because of the last time, Fang Zhengqing was uneasy, and he bowed and bowed.
Fang Jifan nodded: "Last time, I criticized you harshly for my father, but have you ever thought that it is for your own good. You are not young anymore. You were in a nursery school since then and then I went to Xishan Academy. For so many years, I have been worried about you for my father."
Fang Zhengqing thought about it and opened her mouth to say something.
Fang Jifan suppressed his hands: "This is because the eagle will eventually grow up and will have a day to spread its wings and fly high. If your father is not strict with you, you... will suffer in the future. You are not young anymore. When your father reaches your age, you have already started to serve the imperial court. Do you know about the establishment of a camp in Jiaozhi?"
Fang Zhengqing nodded: "I know, the Military Academy has to be allocated a lot of people."
Fang Jifan took a deep breath and felt reluctant to leave. After all, this was his own flesh and blood.
Whether Fang Jifan admits it or not, he will continue the incense for himself in the future.
Fang Jifan said: "You have been studying for so many years and it is time to spread your wings and fly high. Do you want to go to Jiaozhi? However, although you will be the commander of Zhengqing Camp in the future, now you can only start with a hundred households. How about it, do you want to go?"
Fang Zhengqing thought for a while: "I don't want to go."
A look of embarrassment suddenly flashed across Fang Jifan's face, and he wanted to brush his sleeves and scold you, a scammer.
Fang Zhengqing continued: "Father, the emperor's grandson is now in the Zhan Shi Mansion. After January, we brothers will meet a few more times. If I go to Jiaozhi, I will not be able to meet again. There are Xu Pengju and others, who are in the Military Academy..."
Fang Jifan said seriously: "The emperor will be the emperor in the future. If he becomes the emperor in the future, do you still have to stay in the palace and not leave? You are such a useless thing to set off for your father tomorrow and be your family honestly. As for Xu Pengju and the others, if they want to go, they will just go."
Fang Zhengqing hesitated for a moment, but he stopped talking.
"What else do you want to say?"
Fang Zhengqing said ai: "Father, if the emperor's grandson doesn't go, it's not good for Xu Pengju."
Fang Jifan grinned his teeth: "What's this for?"
"Xu Pengju is covered in a bunch of barbaric flesh. If the emperor's grandson is not here, I can't beat him alone."
Fang Jifan wanted to go up and kick him.
However, Fang Jifan really doesn't understand the world of young people.
Fang Jifan shook his head helplessly.
…………
The next day, Fang Zhengqing set out with the team.
Looking at the carriage and horses that were leaving, Fang Jifan felt a sigh in his heart.
Instead, he entered the palace with a charter.
When I met Emperor Hongzhi, I handed over the regulations.
Emperor Hongzhi was listening to the ministers of the cabinet, the Minister of War and the Minister of Rites explaining the food tax this year.
He looked at Fang Jifan with fun, took the charter that was sent to the imperial case, and took a look at it roughly: "Well, in just half a month, Jifan took out the charter of Tianci Camp and Zhengqing Camp, soon."
Fang Jifan said: "This is the result of being by Your Majesty's side all the time and being influenced by your eyes. My son is ashamed."
Emperor Hongzhi couldn't help but say, "Zhengqing is going?"
Fang Jifan explained: "In the future, sooner or later, he will be loyal to the court. Except for the sons of the Fang family, no one should be on the battlefield and serving His Majesty for a lifetime. He is still young, so it is better to let him experience it. Moreover, the whole camp is full of his classmates and classmates. With their care, the sons of the sons of the family will feel at ease."
Emperor Hongzhi sighed: "This is my grandson, hey... go, go, but... if Zhengqing is injured, I can settle the score with you."
Fang Jifan thought to himself, this makes no sense. If you agree to go, why do you ask me for something?
Emperor Hongzhi said, "Come on, Jifan, continue to listen. Come on, come aside, the envoys of Zhenla Kingdom to the capital are coming to see you."
Fang Jifan was stunned: "Just Zhen La envoy, just negotiate with the Ministry of Rites, why should His Majesty summon him personally?"
Emperor Hongzhi smiled: "The court had heard the news before. The Zhenla envoy knew that I knew about their actions in the secret of the Western Ocean. The Zhenla envoy, who was stationed in the capital, naturally came to apologize. After the news came out, the envoys of the Western countries were also watching. This is a major event, and I must observe it."
Fang Jifan shrugged and stood obediently on one side.
A moment later, a eunuch came in. The eunuch reported it and then led one into the hall.
The visitor was wearing real clothes and was in fear and fear, and bowed: "My dear minister, Gu Luozhi, met His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, Long live my emperor."
Emperor Hongzhi looked at the Zhenla envoy Gu Luozhi with a smile: "I'll give you a gift, please give me a visit, what's the matter?"
"I heard rumors in the capital that I was the real La Kingdom and colluded with the Franji people. This... This is pure slander. Your Majesty, my king has always been loyal to Your Majesty, but Zhao Riyue has never stopped the tribute every year. A few days ago, I built a Muen Tower and went to sacrifice in person. Now, there are people with ulterior motives who slander my king so much. Your Majesty, I beg Your Majesty to never believe these rumors. This must be a plan of disagreement. Not only that, I also asked the Ming court to strictly investigate the slandered rumors to serve as a warning to others and to give the country a cleansing innocence."
Emperor Hongzhi, Liu Jian and others looked at each other.
Fang Jifan stood aside, his heart was not fluctuating.
Emperor Hongzhi said lightly: "Is that so? Could it be groundless? I see... Although rumors are suspected of exaggeration, they cannot be without storms."
Gu Luozhi swears: "Please be aware of the truth. My king will never do such things. Your majesty... Zhenla is in the West, and is also a great country with tens of thousands of armor and mountains and rivers. My king has always been wise and has praised the people under his rule. It is precisely because my king admires the kindness of the Ming Dynasty that he is willing to pay tribute. How could he make peace with the Franji people for this?"
As soon as this sentence came out.
Emperor Hongzhi's face changed slightly.
There is a thorn in the words.
This means that it is unreasonable for Daming to doubt Zhen La.
Zhenla is not a small country, with more than 100,000 soldiers and countless dangerous places. Even if you ignore the Ming Dynasty, what can the Ming Dynasty do? Now that you have become a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty, it is a gift to the Ming Dynasty. If you want to collude with the Franji people, there is no need to do so.
Gu Luozhi was actually quite worried when he said this.
He was just an envoy, and the power of the Ming Dynasty was very clear in his heart, but the envoy was just the soundtrack of King Zhenla. Just half a month ago, King Zhenla's secret letter was sent to the capital, believing that the Ming Dynasty was suspected of using the new Confucian Confucians to infiltrate the Zhenla Kingdom. The Zhenla Kingdom must be self-reliant and must let Guluozhi show to the Ming Dynasty that although Zhenla is a vassal, it can only maintain a nominal tribute relationship. If the Ming Dynasty attempts to continue to control Zhenla, Guluozhi needs to make a stand. The Ming court must not think that Zhenla Kingdom is weak and can be bullied.
Emperor Hongzhi had a cold face.
Liu Jian and others looked at Emperor Hongzhi with concern.
Emperor Hongzhi said, "Is that so? If I say that, can I still apologize to you?"
Gu Luozhi pretended to be frightened: "I dare not."
Emperor Hongzhi said, "I don't dare, but I think you are very brave, so what's wrong with not daring? Humph!"
Gu Luozhi seemed to feel that the words just now were a little heavy, which shows that Emperor Hongzhi was furious and thought for a while: "Your Majesty, Siam, Aceh, and the Three Buddhas, after hearing these rumors, I was also very worried."
