Chapter 2590: Going to War

Going on an expedition in winter is not a good idea, but the journey from Beijing to Hami, which can take at least four or five months to more than half a year, is mind-numbing.

In the martial arts school, the establishment of the Qianhu Institute is already full. Those students who wanted to sign up but were unable to register took the lawsuit to the imperial court, but they still had no choice but to accept the outcome of staying in the martial arts school.

Shang Hui was very satisfied. As an earl who had never been on the battlefield and a poor student in martial arts, he looked forward to re-showing his late father's bravery and loyalty on the battlefield.

After daily drills, many students get a vacation and then go home to reunite for a few days.

Tudou had just asked for leave and saw Shang Hui waiting for him, so he asked, "Is there something wrong?"

Shang Hui looked around and asked in a low voice: "The forward is Xing Hebo, can we go with him?"

Tudou shook his head, "Everything in martial arts must obey His Majesty's will."

He cupped his hands and left, quite disapproving of Shang Hui.

And this disapproval dissipated after arriving home.

In the inner courtyard, three women and Wuyou were helping Fang Xing pack his bags, but they didn't look worried.

The admiration of Fang Xing made them never consider the possibility of failure.

"Your father is in the front yard study."

Zhang Shuhui is not worried about her husband, but she is worried about her son. But she couldn't express her worries at this moment, lest it affect Fang Xing, who was about to go on an expedition.

"The poor monk is going back."

There was more peace and a bit more tranquility in Mingxin's eyes.

"You look like some eminent monks. Why, do you want to develop in Jinling?"

Fang Xing was not as nervous as before the expedition and was very relaxed.

Ming Xin said calmly: "The poor monk has been cultivating devoutly in the past few years, and he feels that he has some spiritual awareness. Uncle Xinghe, I cherish this trip."

Fang Xing nodded and said, "You have a nice journey too. I hope that next time I go to Jinling, we can have tea and visit the lake."

Mingxin nodded and left.

Fang Xing sent him out, but saw Yang Rong.

After welcoming people in, Tudou happened to come out of the back house and took charge of the reception.

Fang Xing took the teacup from his hand and asked, "How many days of leave do you have?"

Tudou put another cup of tea on Yang Rong's side, and then said: "Wu Xue said that his father is about to go on an expedition, and Wu Xue will follow His Majesty later. Father and son are both in the army. It is a good story, so I gave it five days." holiday."

Fang Xing's eyes became more loving, and then he asked Yang Rong: "Master Yang came to see Fang for a private matter?"

Yang Rong glanced at Tudou and saw that Fang Xing had no intention of letting him leave, so he said, "Shiqi's side..."

This is quite straightforward.

Fang Xing said: "Fang has said many times that whether it is a mule or a horse, just pull it out and run around, rather than just talking without practicing. And the war is coming, whether it is to innovate Confucianism or improve Confucianism, it must be subject to this overall situation, otherwise even if it is Your Majesty is not in the capital, but there are people in the capital who can make the decision. When the time comes, there will be a lot of blood... When Fang comes back, Mr. Yang, there will be no Confucianism anymore. "

Yang Rong said with a livid face: "If I stay behind, I will naturally keep an eye on these."

Fang Xing's eyes were filled with murderous intent.

"Fang knows that in the eyes of many people, the national war is just a joke and has nothing to do with them. Many people are eager to change their masters. These people are all rebellious officials and traitors. Once launched, the Western Expeditionary Army will cease fighting and return to the army. We must kill all these people!"

Yang Rong knew that what Fang Xing said was true. Those people had no concept of a country, and changing their ruler would not be a problem for them.

"I know."

The irrefutable depression made Yang Rong want to vomit blood.

But after getting Fang Xing's promise not to do anything bad, he could go back and suppress those hot-blooded guys.

Ma Su did not come back. He wrote a memorial, asking the emperor to reduce or reduce the grain tax in the Susong area with fierce words, and gave examples of the suffering of the people in the Susong area under such high grain taxes.

It is an exaggeration to say that Su Song taxed half the world, but the produce of that land of plenty was the granary of the Ming Dynasty in the past.

Ma Su has been in office for a long time. To make suggestions at this time, he must have analyzed various pros and cons.

However, Su Song's high taxes were set by Emperor Taizu Gao. First, the area was fertile, and second, Su Song and other areas supported Zhang Shicheng as revenge.

The emperor won't agree, right?

But the emperor did not hesitate and immediately agreed, and reduced or exempted the grain taxes owed by the Susong area over the years.

That’s a grain tax worth tens of millions of dan!

But the emperor agreed without blinking an eye.

What does it mean?

Since the emperor had already planned it, why didn't he propose it himself instead of letting Ma Su win fame and capital?

Then the emperor issued a decree, allowing private individuals to open academies or private schools to promote science in various parts of the Ming Dynasty. Local governments were not allowed to block or make things difficult, otherwise they would be severely punished!

As soon as this decree came out, it immediately caused an uproar.

Countless people are asking crazily why!

The news spread quickly, and madness spread.

This is a decisive blow!

This represents a move by the emperor to completely rely on science!

After taking this step, the emperor had no possibility of regret.

So this is a declaration of war!

The next day was the day when Fang Xing set off for the expedition.

The north roared at night, like ghosts and gods howling.

Fang Xing was in the palace at the moment.

"It's not good for you to leave me alone to fight with them again."

Fang Xing looked at Zhu Zhanji helplessly, feeling that he should have taught him more shameless ways back then.

The two stood outside, with eunuchs holding plates with freshly heated wine.

Zhu Zhanji took a glass of wine and drank it, then looked at the night sky and said, "It has to be done eventually. What you do doesn't count. Only when I do it, they will know that this is not a fight between two people, but a fight under the Ming Dynasty, which is related to the rise and fall of the Ming Dynasty, so there is no dispute of will!"

Zhu Zhanji put the wine glass back, then picked up a piece of dried meat, and sighed, "Uncle Han Wang sent a letter, saying that he was very happy to open up a thousand miles of land. But I know he was feeling depressed. As for the other vassal kings, they will start to migrate from tomorrow. There is no room for bargaining. If they don't migrate, they will be dealt with in descending order."

He looked at Fang Xing and suddenly laughed, a very comfortable laugh.

"Brother Dehua, take care."

Fang Xing was startled, then said, "Okay, I'll wait for you over there."

Zhu Zhanji nodded and said, "The Ming Dynasty will win!"

Fang Xing said confidently, "Definitely!"

...

The next day, 30,000 troops gathered outside the city.

Jubaoshan Guard, Zhuque Guard, and 20,000 cavalry.

The sacrificial ceremony has ended.

Fang Xing was right next to him, with three women in the carriage and four children in front of him.

Potato said, "Take care, father. I will follow His Majesty's army later."

Fang Xing nodded, then looked at Ping An and said, "Take care of the house."

Ping An's eyes were a little hot, he sniffed and said, "Dad, come back safely."

Fang Xing nodded.

Huan Huan said, "Dad, I will also go to the west next time!"

Fang Xing touched his head and smiled, "Boy, you are brave. Okay, you go next time! But remember to take good care of your mother now."

Finally, it was Wuyou.

Her eyes were a little red and swollen. Looking at Fang Xing, her eyes were filled with tears again in a short while.

Fang Xing smiled and said, "My daughter, are you reluctant to leave your father?"

This sentence made Wuyou's mouth droop, and then she threw herself into Fang Xing's arms and cried.

"Dad!"

Fang Xing's heart was filled with reluctance. He touched Wuyou's head and said, "Listen to your mother at home."

"The prince is coming."

A carriage came down with a group of cavalrymen as escort.

Fang Xing hurried back to his seat.

The carriage stopped in front of the formation, someone brought a stool, and then Yumi appeared.

He walked in front of Fang Xing, looked up and said, "Sir, we will definitely win."

Fang Xing, wearing armor all over his body, shouted loudly, "The Ming Dynasty will win!"

"The Ming Dynasty will win!"

The cheers of 30,000 people made Yumi frown slightly.

He nodded, stepped back a little, and then said with a stern face, "Ha Lie and the meat fans are coveting the Ming Dynasty. Soldiers, destroy them and have breakfast!"

"The Ming Dynasty will win!"

The heir of the Ming Dynasty is not a soft egg. This discovery boosted everyone's morale.

Amid the cheers, Fang Xing nodded and said, "Your Majesty, please rest assured, Your Highness, please rest assured, I will definitely defeat the enemy and enhance the prestige of our Ming Dynasty."

Yumi nodded, and the little guy suddenly whispered, "Sir, I'll wait for you to come back."

Fang Xing felt warm in his heart, and whispered in the same low voice, "Okay."

"Keep your word."

Yumi stretched out his right hand.

Fang Xing smiled, then reached out.

Two hands, one big and one small.

Clap your hands to swear!
