Chapter 10 Zhang Taishun Visits

Fangjiazhuang was very quiet in the afternoon, only the sound of the breeze blowing through the earth.

Fang Xing was sitting in the study, dozing off with his hands on his chin.

When I was dreaming that I was punching Japanese pirates and kicking Mongolia, a burst of hurried footsteps interrupted this dream.

"Master, Master, there is a man named Zhang Taishun visiting you."

Fang Xing, whose sweet dream was interrupted, was very upset, so he just raised his hand and said, "Please come in."

Even though the alcohol was still working in his brain, Fang Xing still held his spirits up, rubbed his face with his hands, and put on the appearance of a wild crane.

"Hahaha! Brother Dehua, the little brother is being polite."

Fang Xing still covered his face with his hands. Hearing the familiar voice, he glanced through his fingers.

The young man in a brocade robe looked energetic, with an exquisitely crafted Futou on his head, and he was holding a folding fan in his hands and saluting with his fists clasped.

"Who are you……"

Fang Xing's face turned red from being rubbed, and he felt that this young man looked familiar.

The young man said with a smile: "Little brother Zhang Taishun, I had a conversation with brother Dehua at the edge of Zhuangzi a few days ago, and I was astonished! So today I took the liberty to come to pay a visit, I'm being impolite."

Although this man was smiling, he had an awe-inspiring and inviolable aura, and he was not a child of an ordinary family at first glance.

Fang Xing slapped his forehead, and said with an oh: "I remembered, the Zhuangzi next door belongs to your family, right?"

This is Fang Xing playing tricks, trying to get rid of the fact that he refuted several literati that day.

Although that remark was very outrageous, but under the premise that most people are opposed to moving the capital, it is intended to offend people if it is spread.

The two sides greeted each other and sat down. After Xiaobai served the fragrant tea, Zhang Taishun looked around the study room and said, "Brother Dehua, I see that you are not very happy with what you said, so I came here today, and I still want to ask you about me. Regarding the matter of moving the capital, please give me your advice.”

These words are very polite, but they have a taste that cannot be refused.

What a great momentum!

Fang Xing guessed the identity of this person in an instant, and finally felt that it should be a certain official, and he was the son of an official who was involved in the transfer of the capital.

Fang Xing wanted to refuse, but he thought that Emperor Yongle had still been in power for a long time, so he could only pretend to sigh: "Corrupt Confucianism is ruining the country!"

Zhang Taishun listened with a smile.

Fang Xing, who was of ordinary background, was a little envious of this kind of posture.

Fang Xing dipped his hand into the tea, and drew a circle on the table, roughly the same as the territory of Daming. Then he drew another line, and finally pointed out Jinling, looking up at Zhang Taishun.

Zhang Taishun frowned and beat the palm of his hand with a folding fan, and said after a long time: "Brother De Hua means...far?"

"correct!"

Fang Xing pointed out the location of Beiping again, and said: "If I don't move the capital, then I can guarantee that within fifty years, the Nine Sides will be corrupted."

Fang Xing's expression showed concern for the country and the people, and he was determined to go through fire and water for my Daming, but in his heart he really agreed with moving the capital.

If he didn't move the capital, maybe those barbarians on the prairie would come to Beiping before he was dead. Where could he hide then?

Zhang Taishun pointed to the location of Jinling with a folding fan, and said with some doubts: "Brother Dehua, if I don't move the capital, even if I warn the north, the capital can calmly mobilize troops to support it!"

The argument of mobilizing large army support from Jinling, that is, the south, is also very marketable at present.

Fang Xing saw Xin Laoqi swaying at the door with a vigilant expression on his face, so he smiled and said, "That's just wishful thinking!"

After all, he was still young, Zhang Taishun looked a little shocked, and asked hastily: "Brother Dehua, what do you mean by that?"

Fang Xing was a little anxious to urinate, so he said without hesitation: "From Jinling to Beiping, it's a journey of thousands of miles. By the time the reinforcements arrive, the north has already been corrupted.

"

"That Taishun, I'll go change first, wait a moment!"

After Fang Xing finished his work happily, he found that Old Seventh Xin was guarding the outside of the hut, looking at the gate vigilantly.

"Master, that Zhang Taishun brought two followers, which is interesting."

Xin Laoqi supported Tang Dao with one hand, while telling Fang Xing what he had discovered.

interesting?

That's the master!

Fang Xing took out a mint candy from his purse, put one in his mouth, and threw two to Xin Laoqi.

"Give it to the big girl later."

Staggering into the study, Fang Xing saw that Zhang Taishun was still writing on the 'map'. Hearing the sound of footsteps, he messed up the water marks on the table, turned his face and said, "Brother Dehua, from your analysis just now, I think you are not optimistic about Daming's Nine Sides, right?"

Fang Xing didn't have the pressure of the imperial examination, so he said very easily: "Sooner or later something will happen to Nine Sides, and it must be Nine Sides who will ruin my Ming Dynasty in the end."

After a while, Zhang Taishun stood up with an angry face, narrowed his eyes, and said lightly: "Brother Dehua, please make it clear."

Fang Xing burped, and a scent of Moutai wafted out, and then he said leisurely: "The so-called Nine Sides are just watchdogs. If my Ming's military system does not keep pace with the times, sooner or later To have the same virtue as the Mongols does not depend on human will."

Fanning his mouth with his hands, Fang Xing saw that Zhang Taishun was still thinking in anger, and said, "You are still young, go back and read more history books to see how those dynasties turned from prosperity to decline."

"Take history as a mirror, and you can know the ups and downs!"

Fang Dashan said with compassion.

The current Daming army is at its peak, and the prairie barbarians are being beaten to the brim. It won't take a hundred years, or even fifty years, and the Ming Yingzong who favored Wang Zhen will ruin the last morale of the Ming Dynasty in the Tumu Fort. Since then, Ming's soldiers have never entered the grassland on a large scale.

The anger on Zhang Taishun's face miraculously disappeared, and he sat down again, talking and laughing as if it was another person just now.

"Brother Dehua, then look at the disadvantages of my Daming's military system."

This topic was too big, and Fang Xing didn't dare to talk nonsense, for fear of being beheaded by that Emperor Yongle, so he said perfunctorily: "In the annals of Chinese history, only the great Han and the Great Tang died by force."

Zhang Taishun recognized this point, so he looked at Fang Xing with hot eyes, making his hair stand on end.

"Ahem!" Fang Xing coughed dryly, "In the Song Dynasty, the status of sergeants was the lowest in history, but do you know why the Song Dynasty lasted so long?"

Zhang Taishun said a little confused: "Probably because of his outstanding martial arts."

The Wenzhi of the Song Dynasty was indeed 'outstanding', directly sharing the world with the scholar-bureaucrats.

Fang Xing cast a sideways glance at Zhang Taishun, pointed at him and said, "You are dishonest."

Zhang Taishun cried out: "Brother Dehua, I really mean it!"

Fang Xing lazily said: "The Song Dynasty only relied on the benefits of opening up the sea, and the national treasury was full, so it was able to persist until the Southern Song Dynasty without the protection of the Great Wall and the unfavorable environment of the low status of the sergeants. People are dragged to death."

"This is the benefit of being rich! But what about me, Daming?"
