Zhu Qizhen looked at Han Shuiping and said, "Commander Han, among the seven guards of Huilong Camp, the most powerful one is the Tiger Guards under your command, and it is also the only one with full strength. I ask you, if you encounter Guangdong at sea,
What is the chance of winning for the naval forces of Dusi and Fujian Dusi?"
Han Shui thought for a while and said, "Ten percent!"
He told the truth.
As the imperial court's overseas contraction strategy has been implemented for decades, the Ming Dynasty Navy has now become extremely weak. The naval guards of Guangdong Dusi and Fujian Dusi are seriously short of personnel, and the warships are dilapidated.
It is no match for the Tiger Guards, which has experienced many naval battles over the years after its establishment.
Zhu Qizhen nodded and said, "You are willing to send servants to the Jurchen and Wala tribes for me, and you can also meet the Maoli children."
Han Shui shook his head and said, "Your Majesty, I cannot leave."
Zhu Qizhen was stunned.
Han Shuihui continued: "Among the seven guards of Huilong Camp, four of them are controlled by General Fan, the commander of the capital. If Wei Chen leaves again, the Tiger Guards will be leaderless, and Wei Chen is worried about His Majesty's safety."
Zhu Qizhen suddenly woke up.
What Han Shui said makes sense.
Moreover, not only Han Shuiping could not go on a mission, Zhan Luochuan could not go to Annan, but Yabuka didn't care, he was not a core figure in the first place.
The mission personnel need to be selected separately.
Waving his hand, "Commander Han, let's go down and rest while we continue to monitor those two people."
Han Pingping accepted the decree.
Zhu Qizhen fell into deep thought. He was not worried about the personnel who were sent as envoys. They could be selected at any time. There were still some talents under Kaohsiung. He was wondering whether Xie Wan and Fan Biao had a quarrel?
Otherwise, why would you want to send Han Huihui and Zhan Luochuan away?
You have to be careful.
…
…
The candle shadows flickered, the lights were dim, and the air was turbid and humid.
Fan Biao raised the wine bottle in his hand and took a sip. He felt that his body was much warmer. He handed the wine bottle to Xie Wan opposite, "Old Xie, would you like to take a few sips to warm yourself up?"
His Majesty Baozong is still worried about whether he and Xie Wan will be connected?
There is nothing to worry about.
They have always been linked together.
I don’t even think about who built the city of Kaohsiung. At the beginning of the construction of Fan Biao and Xie Wan’s mansion, tunnels were built to facilitate the two men to meet secretly to discuss important matters.
Xie Wan sat upright with a serious look on his face, shook his head and said, "No."
He was never a teetotaler.
Drinking will cause trouble.
Xie Wan added: "At this moment, the commander of the Huben Guards, Han Shuiping, should have been summoned to Beiwang Pavilion by the Baozong. I guess Han Shuiping will not be sent as envoy to Jurchen, and Zhan Luochuan will not be sent as envoy to Annan."
Fan Biao asked worriedly: "Baozong is suspicious of us?"
Could it be that Prince Zhu Jianji did it deliberately when Baozong discovered that he could escape to Taiwan, so he began to be suspicious of the two of them.
Xie Wan chuckled, "Are you suspicious?"
He added: "Don't worry. Thinking from the perspective of Baozong, His Highness the Prince will never let him live, so he will never doubt the rationality of us bringing him to Taiwan from Fujian. His suspicion now
, it’s just the instinct of an emperor.”
The instinct of an emperor is to be suspicious.
Especially with the current situation in Taiwan, if Zhu Qizhen is not suspicious, the fourteenth year of Orthodoxy will be a joke.
In Huilong Camp, there are four guards ostensibly under the control of Fan Biao.
Han Shuiping, Zhao Tai, and Xue Meng control the other three guards. In Zhu Qizhen's eyes, these three people are the confidants he has cultivated in recent years, and they are also people he can truly trust.
But even so, Baozong knew that the troops he controlled were still not as good as the four guards under Fan Biao's command.
As for the civil servants and staff, he almost pulled them together by himself.
A combination of literature and military skills can indeed take over the Fortress Sect.
Or even replace it.
Under such a situation, it is reasonable and reasonable for Baozong to be suspicious and wary of the two of them. This is also the political sense that an emperor should have.
But there are some things that Baozong cannot control.
He probably wouldn't have thought of it.
Because from the beginning, this was just a dream.
Fan Biao laughed when he heard this and said: "The problem is that if the Baozong wants to unite Zonglianheng, if his plan is successful, you can imagine the pressure that Ming Dynasty will suffer. When the time comes, it will not look good for us to be on the side of His Royal Highness.
"
Counterattack against the Ming Dynasty is possible.
If you don't move your troops into formation, how can you use your own skills of commanding troops to fight and submit more certificates of surrender in front of His Highness the Crown Prince?
Perhaps due to the original promise, His Highness the Crown Prince will still give himself generous salaries to high-ranking officials.
But senior officials are also different.
Like Duke Zhu Yi, the Duke is high enough, but Zhu Yi's weight in His Royal Highness's heart is not as important as Wang Yue and Zhu Yong. When His Highness the Crown Prince ascends the throne in the future, these two will be the pillars of the army.
If Zhu Yi does not break through, he will guard Nanjing for the rest of his life.
This is the greatest sorrow for a military commander.
Military general...
Fighting on the battlefield and dying on the battlefield are where the blood boils.
Xie Wan was silent for a while, "In this matter, Lao Fan, your worries are completely unnecessary. In the past eight years, I have been paying attention to all the moves of His Highness the Crown Prince, especially after last autumn, when His Highness the Crown Prince led the East Palace young army to personally conquer Mobei.
They swept through the coalition forces of the Oara tribes along the way, and then continued to advance eastward, frightening Maoli Hai and Li Manzhu, forcing them to withdraw voluntarily."
Fan Biao said: "I really don't understand how incredible the power of the Donggong Young Army's fire cannons is, so that they can defeat the Zhungeer tribes led by Batu Erte with zero battle losses with 10,000 troops."
The coalition's 50,000 cavalry, even the Shenji Battalion during His Majesty Taizong's time, would not be able to reach this level. In the circle of generals, everyone thinks this is almost a miracle!"
Xie Wan smiled slightly, "So, that is the one who dares to send His Majesty Baozong to Taiwan. If you don't have some confidence, how dare you risk your throne."
He added: "When you and I return to Gyeonggi, we will naturally know how far the young army's guns have reached. At the moment, we still have to consider His Majesty Baozong's handiwork. He wants to unite Zonglianheng. Should we cooperate and vigorously promote it?
This matter?"
It is no exaggeration to say that Fan Biao and Xie Wan were Zhang Liang and Han Xin of Baozong in Taiwan.
If the two of them don't support it, Baozong will definitely not be able to unite.
Fan Biao was in disbelief, "Are you kidding me, Lao Xie? We have no reason to promote this matter. If the Ming Dynasty is really besieged on all sides, it will be a miserable victory and it will not be of any benefit to the country and the country."
Xie Wan shook his head, "How come you are surrounded on all sides?"
The vitality of all the tribes in Wala was severely damaged.
Maoli Boy and Li Manzhu, frightened birds.
Japan?
Across the sea, we are beyond reach, and the Ashikaga Yoshimasa of the Ashikaga Shogunate is also a weakling. There are already signs of civil strife in the Japanese island, and there is no strength to invade the Ming Dynasty. At most, it will only harass the people along the coast.
Against the Ming army?
In Japan, he himself did not dare to think so.
As for Taiwan's military strength, even though it has an advantage against the Ming Dynasty Navy, the Guangdong Dusi and Fujian Dusi can drag Taiwan's Huilong Camp to death even if they use drag.
The real threat is Annan.
But don’t forget, there is also a Prince Mu’s Mansion in Yunnan!
So there is no embarrassment at all.
But as a scholar, Xie Wan looked at the overall situation and found that Baozong Zonglianheng was probably sending pillows to His Royal Highness, so he wanted to discuss it with Fan Biao.
The Three Stooges are better than Zhuge Liang.
Xie Wan believed that he had correctly guessed His Highness the Crown Prince's grand ambition.
But I'm afraid His Royal Highness is not ready.
So ask Fan Biao.
Although Fan Biao was a military general, his ability and vision have been greatly improved in his analysis and control of military situations, especially in controlling Huilong Camp in Taiwan for the past eight years.
Fan Biao should be able to see His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's military layout.
