Chapter 221 Zhang Fu's Hint

Fang Xing looked at these officers, and explained: "The armor will be built in the battalion soon. After you come out, you will familiarize me with it immediately, and discuss the pros and cons!"

As for whether the Northern Expedition or not, Fang Xing is not sure at the moment, because there is no news of Zhang Fu. 』⒉3

Zhang Fu was very calm, even if the outside world said that he was rejected by the emperor, he was still the same, and he never delayed when it was time to find a great Confucian to study.

Fang Xing accompanied Zhang Shuhui to the British residence. After greeting the old lady, he was going to find his brother-in-law.

"Uncle."

Fang Xing just turned around, when he heard the voice, he quickly turned around, "Does the old lady have anything to say?"

Fang Xing did not dare to underestimate this old lady, one must know that her father was a privy envoy of Qianyuan, and his family was well educated.

Seeing Fang Xing's respectful appearance, the old lady said with satisfaction: "My lord, the day of the Northern Expedition is getting closer, Fu'er will probably stay in the capital, you have to be more careful."

Fang Xing caught a glimpse of Zhang Shuhui's instantly pale face, and said with a smile: "The old lady is complimenting me. I'm just in charge of a thousand-household office. Even if I'm in the army, I can only beat the side drum at most."

The old lady also saw Zhang Shuhui's appearance, so she let Fang Xing go.

As soon as Fang woke up and left, the old lady sighed: "You girl, have you forgotten the battles your father and brother fought back then?"

Zhang Shuhui lowered her head and said in a muffled voice, "I haven't forgotten, I'm just a little worried."

The old lady sighed: "Back then your father was away fighting all the year round. After he left, your elder brother took over to fight with His Majesty. Even now, it is rare for your elder brother to stay at home for a few days."

"This is life..."

The two women were lamenting the parting brought about by the battle, but Fang Xing and Zhang Fu did not have such worries.

In the study, Zhang Fu and Fang Xing were sitting on the futon, looking like two lay monks discussing the Tao.

Zhang Fu first put an end to Fang Xing's worries.

"Your Majesty will keep me in Beijing to guard this time, so don't worry."

Fang Xing frowned and said, "I'm not worried about this, I just think His Majesty underestimated Mahamu."

Zhu Di almost led the most elite army of Ming Dynasty to set off,

And Zhang Fu who stayed behind is of course the general who guards the house, so this is a kind of honor.

Kings trust in your glory.

But whether some of Zhu Di's dissatisfaction, no one knows.

You, Zhang Fu, beat Chen Jikuo to the bum in Cochin, so I, Zhu Di, will show Mahamu who the No. 1 military master of Ming Dynasty is.

Sitting on the futon, Zhang Fu said with a gloomy gaze: "Why do you think that Wacha can stop His Majesty's army?"

Fang Xing couldn't tell why, but he remembered that Wacha later captured Zhu Zhanji's son, and even attacked the city of Beiping. If it weren't for Yu Qian's efforts to turn the tide, Daming's future...

Maybe there will be no later!

"Brother, Wax should not be underestimated."

Fang Xing's dry words didn't surprise Zhang Fu, he just smiled and said, "No tribe on the grassland should be underestimated, do you think His Majesty doesn't know?"

"That's good."

Fang Xing felt a little relieved, and asked, "Brother, will I follow this time?"

But Zhang Fu shook his head and said: "This is a military aircraft, don't ask me, just wait."

Fang Xing understood and stopped asking. After sitting for a while, he went to pick up Zhang Shuhui and go home together.

After returning home, Zhang Shuhui went to the inner courtyard in a dull mood.

Xiaobai ran over with the bell, his face was red, and he asked with a smile, "Master, I heard that the men and horses for the Northern Expedition have all been decided."

This is feeling without me, right?

Fang Xing pinched Xiao Bai's face, and said angrily, "Your young master will probably have to go this time, so be careful recently, don't offend your young wife."

Xiao Bai's face collapsed instantly, Fang Xing was so happy with that disappointed and worried expression.

"Don't worry about it, lest I come back and see you turned into a yellow-faced woman."

Xiaobai lowered his head, "Master, can you not go?"

Fang Xing rubbed her hair, said with a smile: "After this time, I think it will take a long time to relax, it's worth the calculation."

If you don't go, how can you have military merits?

If there is no military merit, wouldn't the title be nothing!

Seeing Xiaobai go in with the bell downcast, Fang Xing couldn't hide his reluctance.

But no matter how reluctant he was, Fang Xing was still interested in expeditions to the grasslands.

At the foot of Jubao Mountain, the heavy hammer was lifted and then dropped again.

In the mold, the cut iron plate was smashed and dented.

Zhu Fang picked up the formed plate armor, tested it against her upper body, and handed it over to an assistant for simple heat treatment.

Everything must be convenient and simple, this is Fang Xing's instructions, and Zhu Gui is strictly implementing it.

The helmet is a bit more troublesome. It often takes several smashes in the mold to form it, and it has to be matched with the visor, which requires more procedures.

After the holes were drilled, those carpenters took care of the rest.

When Fang woke up, two sergeants had already put them on, and Zhu Gui was asking how they felt.

The plate armor was fastened behind, and the helmet and visor were riveted together, which looked a bit sinister.

When the visor was pulled down, two soldiers with only eyes exposed appeared in front of Fang Xing.

"Yes, just follow this and speed up the construction."

Zhu Gui nodded and said: "The materials are all ready-made, it's just that we have blocked the river these few days, will the Zhuangzi downstream cause trouble?"

Fang Xing said coldly: "This is military supplies, who dares to make trouble!"

There are no crops in the fields now, so what do we need water for?

But when Fang Xing returned home and saw a big fish in Bell's mouth, he also froze.

"Husband, the water downstream has become shallower, so many people are going to catch fish today!"

Zhang Shuhui probably figured it out, so she stopped worrying about Fang Xing's going to the north, and only cared about making up for him.

Fang Xing took the still-dead fish, and boasted: "My Bell is really a good breadwinner, I'll give you beef...pork at night."

Bell's tail was wagging, and she squinted, enjoying the patriarch's caress.

But Ji Gang was a little annoyed, lying on the bed, listening to Wang Qian's report. When he heard that Fang Xing might participate in the Northern Expedition, he was so angry that he almost scratched his pillow.

"Firearms are dangerous. Your Majesty's safety is more important than Mount Tai. We need to monitor his troops."

Thinking of the letter he had just received, Ji Gang gasped and said, "Send someone, you go to Beiping yourself, and communicate clearly with there, it must be..."

...

No. 1 Fresh has been open for a few days. From the beginning when it was just full, it is now hard to find one, which makes the two neighbors on the side and the colleagues on Zhuque Street hate their teeth.

Seeing that the business was booming, Fang Xing brought his family to take a look.

The carriage went directly to the back door, and Fang Eleven personally picked people up, and then said with a sad face: "Master, today is full, but Master Fang's family will be ready to eat soon."

Fang Zheng?

Fang Xing nodded, and found a room in the back to rest.

Since he brought his family here, it means that Fang Zheng will not be far away from Beijing.

what about me?

Thinking of this, Fang Xing quietly held Zhang Shuhui's hand, and said in a gentle voice, "At our own place, we can order whatever we want, today I will be at your mercy." (To be continued.)
