Hearing what Xie Wan said, Fan Biao slapped his thigh and drank all the wine in the flask, "Then the question is, Lao Xie, the situation in Mobei, even if His Majesty Baozong doesn't know the details, he should
Knowing that the Oara tribes have too much time to take care of themselves, the Maoli girls and Jurchens dare not really fight against the giant fish, and Japan is very likely to be headed for civil strife. Annan is restrained by the Mu Prince's Palace. Since he knows this, why does he still propose to join forces to counterattack the land? "
Xie Wan smiled and said: "He is afraid."
What are you afraid of?
Fear of being replaced.
So Zhu Qizhen had to take this step. If he succeeds, there is indeed hope for restoration.
But if it fails, you can still retreat to Taiwan.
Moreover, to counterattack on land, it is necessary to establish a small court in Taiwan to show his identity as the orthodox emperor of the Ming Dynasty. In this way, the small court in Taiwan will also govern the country with Confucianism.
This is what Zhu Qizhen wants: the king should be the guide for his ministers.
Instead of the current situation, where he has political power but no status, he and Fan Biao can kill him and replace him at any time.
but……
Zhu Qizhen really judged the heart of a gentleman with the heart of a villain.
If he really wanted to take his place, would he survive today?
But the ten-year period is coming.
Now Zhu Qizhen is jumping like this. Is it what His Highness the Crown Prince wants to see? If so, he is sending pillows. If His Highness the Crown Prince does not want to see it, Xie Wan and Fan Biao have to stop it.
Fan Biao agreed, "But we will return to the mainland in two years at the latest, so Lao Xie, you are hesitant and entangled. You are not sure about His Highness the Crown Prince's attitude towards Taiwan. Should you take advantage of the opportunity or delay for two years?"
Xie Wan nodded, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's attitude is very important."
This directly determines how high the two of them can reach in the Ming Dynasty in the future.
Fan Biao suddenly smiled, "Lao Xie, there is actually news that has yet to be confirmed, but I think it is almost the same. I will tell you in advance that except for the navy of Fujian and Guangdong, the battleships of the rest of the Ming Dynasty's navy
Except for those who were required to stay at the coastal guard post, they were all transferred to the waters outside Dengzhou Guard. According to my reports, there was a mysterious army of nearly ten thousand people practicing naval battles outside the Dengzhou waters. Lao Xie, what do you think?
Which army is this?"
Xie Wan's eyes suddenly lit up.
Who else could it be.
It must be the young army!
In this case, His Royal Highness also plans to take action against Taiwan!
Xie Wan smiled and said: "This news is very timely, and it also confirms my thoughts. After all, the Ming Dynasty has opened the sea, and the court must ensure the safety of the sea routes. It is impossible for Taiwan to rob the maritime trade fleet unscrupulously, so it will definitely
In the near future, we will take action against Taiwan. In this case, we can take full action. Then we will give a big gift to His Highness the Prince, fully cooperate with His Majesty Baozong, and send the envoy to Annan. After all, how can we allow others to snore next to the bed, Prince
His Highness is so strong that it is impossible to sit back and watch Annan continue to grow, but the division is unknown. If only the Baozong fled to Annan, Li Sicheng could send the Baozong to the Ming Dynasty to seek peace, but if Annan and Taiwan sent troops to invade the Ming Dynasty, the Baozong would
When the time comes to flee to Annan, even if Li Sicheng sends Baozong back to the Ming Dynasty, it will be of no use!"
Fan Biao smiled and said: "Okay, I agree. What about Japan?"
Xie Wan sneered disdainfully, "Ashikaga Yoshimasa is stupid and incompetent, and Japan is about to enter a troubled world. As long as His Highness the Crown Prince develops the Ming Dynasty Navy, it is easy to attack Japan at any time, and the reasons for attacking Japan are easy to find. In fact,
No, just let Baozong go to Japan when the time comes, so don’t care about Japan this time."
Fan Biao immediately said: "Then I will give instructions tomorrow to put the plan into action. Then we will wait for the Crown Prince to come to take over Taiwan. At the same time, we will deploy manpower to protect our Majesty Baozong from going to Annan by sea."
Xie Wan said: "Good!"
Fan Biao stood up and said, "Go back to sleep."
Xie Wan also got up.
Fan Biao walked a few steps, then suddenly turned back and asked: "Lao Xie, are you sure that His Highness the Crown Prince wants to use troops against Annan? If His Highness the Crown Prince does not have this intention, we will drag Annan in, but it will be self-defeating!"
Xie Wan didn't look back, "I don't know. After all, we are too far away from the capital. I don't know if His Highness the Crown Prince has taken any other measures to strengthen the army besides establishing the Ministry of Agriculture. I just want to confirm one thing. His Highness is interested in accepting the Ministry of Agriculture."
Is Taiwan ready? Since you said that the Donggong young troops have boarded the ship to practice naval battles, that means too much.
His Highness has made preparations. As for whether His Highness wants to regain the Annan that was lost in the hands of His Majesty Xuanzong, that is not something I should worry about. His Highness has such ambitions, and I have gone all out to make arrangements for him. His Highness has not
I still try my best to implement this idea, and I am just doing my duty as a minister."
After a pause, "That's all."
Fan Biao was stunned for a long time after hearing this, but he didn't notice...
Lao Xie is so tough.
Facing the back of Xie Wan who had reached the end of the tunnel, he whispered softly: "Then I will add fuel to the fire of His Highness the Crown Prince. The account books you gave me over the past few years will be sent to the East Palace in Gyeonggi Province and handed over to His Highness the Crown Prince.
."
With the account book in hand, His Royal Highness saw that the Baozong had accumulated nearly 50 million taels of wealth in Taiwan, so it would be strange not to act quickly!
After all, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is very poor. This is something that everyone in the entire Ming Dynasty and nearby countries knows.
Xie Wan hummed and left.
As a counselor, he had to consider many things, which were more complicated than Fan Biao's job.
Fan Biao also has a lot of work.
But in fact, there is only one important task: how to make it easier for the prince's East Palace young army to take over Taiwan.
Xie Wan, on the other hand, had to think about how to lay out the situation, how to arrange people, and finally, he had to think of a strategy that would allow the Bao Zong to retreat to Annan without any suspicion that he was let go on purpose by His Highness the Crown Prince.
Fan Biao was in a good mood.
I have stayed in Taiwan, a place where birds do not lay eggs, for eight years.
Although one person is inferior to ten thousand people, what is the meaning of such wealth and power?
It’s like walking in brocade clothes at night!
Returning to the dormitory from the basement, Fan Biao chuckled to the three confidant generals guarding the door: "Everyone, our dawn is coming. During this period, you must monitor Han Shuihui, Xue Meng, and Zhao Tai. After all, these three people
The three of them hold heavy troops, and I’m worried that they have other ideas. If the East Palace young army suffers huge battle losses because of these three, then even if we return to the Ming Dynasty, we will be despised by His Highness the Crown Prince!"
These three people are all veterans who followed him all the way from Fujian.
He is an absolute confidant.
Hearing this, they immediately accepted the order and were very excited. One of them murmured: "I don't know if that bastard in my family will recognize me as a father when I return to my hometown."
The other person laughed and said, "By then, no matter what, you and I should be the commanders of the First Guard. How can your little bastard be willing to let go of your father, who is a high-ranking official?"
They are all commanders in Taiwan.
Returning to the Ming Dynasty, it will only be higher.
