Chapter 131 Good News Flying
"...Shu Hui, the army has nothing to do these days. I just follow my elder brother to give advice all day long. In terms of safety, no one in the Southern Expedition Army can surpass me...I miss you..."
In March of the beacon fire, the family letter is ten thousand gold.
Fang Xing has already received a letter from Zhang Shuhui, saying that everything is fine in Fangjiazhuang, but everyone is worried about his safety. Every day, Xiaobai would bring a bell to guard the gate of the village, hoping to see the messengers returning from the Southern Expedition... The emperor's grandson often came to check and inquire, so no one dared to underestimate Fang's family.
"Why!"
Fang Xing thought of his wife who was sometimes dignified like a noble lady, and sometimes playful like a childless wife, and that Xiaobai who never knew sorrow, as well as the housekeeper and flower girl...
I'm homesick, Fang Xing really misses home.
Dry the ink on the letter and put it in an envelope. Fang Xing was about to ask someone to deliver it, but Fang Wu begged to see him.
After several battles, Fang Wu grew up very quickly. He bowed and said, "Young master, I have discussed it with you, and all of them are vain jobs."
Fang Xing handed over the envelope, nodded and said, "The emperor's grandson is still young, let's not worry."
Fang Wu nodded and said: "Everyone understands, young master, then I'll be sent out?"
This is the right that Fang Xing begged for, just to make the servants mature faster.
"Go."
After Fang Xing arranged for the specially trained servants, as well as the men who scouted hundreds of households, Fang Xing believed that they would definitely shine brightly in Cochin.
...
"Great victory! Great victory for our Southern Expedition Army!"
Lubu's victory was a surprise that Zhang Fu wanted to give the emperor, and it was also a way to cheer up the morale of the army and the people who were somewhat depressed because of the eagerness of the Wacha people outside the pass.
"Great victory, the Southern Expedition army defeated 50,000 enemies in one battle!"
Zhu Di was discussing the preparations for the next year's Northern Expedition with several auxiliary ministers, and he laughed loudly when he heard the sound: "I knew that Zhang Fu could live up to everyone's expectations, good!"
Yang Rong hurried out to take the Lubu and the memorial, and handed it to Zhu Di when he came in.
Zhu Di didn't look at Lu Bu, but carefully looked at Zhang Fu's memorial.
"...I landed on the shore determined to die, and the rebel army really counterattacked, intending to take advantage of our scattered army and smash it in one fell swoop..."
"...My left-wing Jubaoshanqian headquarters bravely responded to the enemy, with one against five, and swept the main force of the enemy... Our landing army took advantage of the situation to cover up and kill, and defeated the enemy!..."
Yang Rong looked at Huang Huai, a scholar of Youchunfang University, who responded with a reassuring smile.
During the Yongle period, Zhu Di had several ministers to assist him, including Hu Guang, Huang Huai, Yang Shiqi, Yang Rong, Jin Youzi, and Hu Yan who was in charge of the Imperial Academy.
Although the cabinet has been abolished, these people are actually equivalent to the former ministers of the cabinet, assisting the emperor in managing the country.
But Zhu Di, the emperor's mind is too difficult to guess. On the one hand, he ordered these assistant ministers to teach the prince, which meant paving the way for the prince Zhu Gaochi.
But on the other hand, once Zhu Di was dissatisfied with the prince, these assistant ministers would be unlucky, especially Huang Huai, who almost went to prison for slander several times.
Looking at the majestic and unpredictable emperor above, Huang Huai felt inexplicably worried.
After reading the memorial, Zhu Di passed it on, and after the assistant ministers had finished reading it, he said: "The brother-in-law of Zhang Fu made me miss it. I didn't expect that he would be in the army. It seems that the empress dowager Sun should have learned a lot from him."
Huang Huai bowed his head and said: "Your Majesty, this battle has been a great victory, but Chen Jikuo still has a large army in his hands, and the Cochin War will probably continue."
Zhu Di nodded, and seeing Yang Rong shaking his head, he asked, "Do you have something to say?"
Yang Rong is smart, so only he dares to be presumptuous in front of Zhu Di.
"Your Majesty, my Ming Dynasty is really full of talents. A small person can be educated and educated, which shows the effect of enlightenment."
This kind of flattery Zhu Di still eats, so he laughed and said: "You read it wrong this time,
That Fang Xing prides himself on miscellaneous learning, so he doesn't want to be with you. "
This question made Yang Rong feel a little flustered, and he retorted: "Although Fang Xing said he was a miscellaneous student, he was still a child prodigy in Beiping Mansion back then."
When talking about Fang Xing, the ministers all smiled, thinking that this was a great victory for the literati.
One of our Confucianists can defeat the Jiaozhi rebellion. In the future, who will dare to say that we are powerless.
Lao Tzu learned that ten thousand enemies are the enemy, okay?
And far away in Fangjiazhuang in Jinling, at this time Zhu Zhanji sent someone to pass the news to Zhang Shuhui. She was overjoyed, and with a wave of her little hand, each family distributed wine and meat.
Fang Jielun didn't have any complaints at all, and walked in the village with a smile on his face, with a look of pride on his face.
Only Zhu Zhanji, both he and the prince were a little surprised.
Zhu Gaochi sighed: "I didn't expect this Mr. Fang to be so... outstanding, Zhan Ji, your luck is good!"
Zhu Gaochi's teachers are all civil servants, and there is no such thing as Fang Xing who is both civil and military, so he is also a little emotional.
Zhu Zhanji said in a deep voice: "Now there are some rumors outside, saying that Brother Dehua's credit is all given by the British public for the sake of relatives."
"Never mind!"
Zhu Gaochi smiled like a Maitreya Buddha, "Who is the Duke of England? Would you do such a thing? Your grandpa is the first one who doesn't believe you! It's nothing more than mediocrity, nothing to worry about!"
Zhu Zhanji nodded and said: "That's right, the British government is calm in its work and strict in running the army, so it is impossible for it to be favoritism!"
"but……"
Zhu Zhanji looked at Wanwan who was playing outside, feeling inexplicably melancholy.
——Why can't I go to Cochin? Anyway, I can also go to battle and hack and kill myself!
...
Fang Xing didn't know the various reactions brought about by the good news. He was still training the soldiers every day, and visited Fang Zheng when he was free.
Today Zhang Fu convened the generals to discuss the matter, and the place was outside.
The terrain here is open, but five miles away, there are several hills.
Zhang Fu pointed to the hill on the left with his horsewhip and said: "This place is easy to defend but difficult to attack. If the enemy comes, he can harass his rear. So I decided to garrison troops on this hill. Who will take care of it?"
Several generals are eager to try, and the credit for this kind of independent combat is not small.
But Mu Sheng said as if discussing with Zhang Fu: "I think the Jubaoshanqian headquarters is the most suitable. If we can add some helpers, it will be able to contain the enemy."
Zhang Fu glanced at Fang Xing, then looked at the generals, nodded and said, "In that case, Fang Xing."
Fang Xing hurried forward, cupped his fists and said, "Commander, Fang Xing is here."
Zhang Fu looked at Fang Xing, and said in a deep voice, "I'll give you this place, and I'll give you two thousand headquarters, are you confident?"
Fang Xing nodded and said: "I will live up to my trust!"
The hill was less than 200 meters high, and there was a large area of flat land and water sources on it, so this was why Zhang Fu dared to station troops here, not afraid of being defeated alone.
After Fang Xing returned to the camp, he immediately went to take over the two thousand headquarters.
Soon, more than 3,000 people gathered in the camp.
"Meng Jiao, my subordinate, I have met Mr. Fang."
A man with a big beard cupped his fists and sang, but this guy was not convinced when he saw some other people wake up.
"My subordinate Lin Qun'an, I have met Mr. Fang."
This Lin Qun'an looked gentle and elegant, but he had the demeanor of a Confucian general.
