Prodigal Son of the Ming Dynasty

[End of the God Station] Remind book friends to keep in mind: Website URL: www.xinwanben.com Remember it in a second, never lose it!

In this era, sailing... depends on inheritance and experience.

Just like the great voyages of the Western people at this time, it is by no means accomplished overnight.

They need to open up new routes, first arrive at the African continent, then arrive at the southernmost point of Africa, the Cape of Good Hope, and then continue to open new routes along the existing routes, arriving in India, and arriving in Asia.

No one can pat his chest and dare to say that he can directly reach the ends of the earth without the experience and channel opened up by the predecessors.

During Zheng He's seven voyages to the West, he gradually went deeper and deeper to the west, and finally reached the farthest Africa and Dashi. It is by no means that a fleet of ships can reach there.

Even when Zheng He sailed to the West, the Yuan Dynasty had just collapsed and there was no sea ban in the Yuan Dynasty, so the court could still get a lot of information from the big food merchants. Now, the sea ban has been banned for many years, and the only information is due to the negligence of the Ministry of War. disappear.

Daming is like a man with a strong body, but he can only look at the ocean and sigh.

Unless... subsidize the voyage again and again, spend ten, twenty, thirty years, slowly explore experience and open up new routes.

But……

Now, can you wait?

Emperor Hongzhi sighed in pain.

He can't wait.

In other words, tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians can't wait.

What a pity it is to see a treasure mountain but not be able to approach it.

What's more, all kinds of work have already started, the imperial court attaches great importance to it, and the various ministries cooperate, and the counties and counties below have recruited an unknown number of civilians...

Emperor Hongzhi's eyes were red, he stared at Fang Jifan, and asked very cautiously: "I only want to ask you one thing, your disciple Xu Jing, does he really know the route?"

All hope is now placed on the body of a concubine.

A little concubine with a damn crow's mouth has now become the last belief of Emperor Hongzhi.

Looking at the solemn Emperor Hongzhi, Fang Jifan's heart trembled.

He knew very well that he had to be responsible for what he said next.

The implication is that.

If he is the guarantor for Xu Jing, then the follow-up work of the voyage to the West will continue. Come on, come to this point, the court is already in a dilemma!

Stalling all kinds of work will inevitably mean heavy losses, and continuing to go to sea will mean investing more money and food. If Xu Jing can really find a new sea route, it’s okay, but if he can’t find it, then it will be a big pit. All the money and food that was exhausted, and the efforts of countless soldiers, civilians and civilians, may all be wiped out.

Even Fang Jifan, who was so serious here, gasped, he hesitated a little, and couldn't help asking himself in his mind, is that scumbag Xu Jing reliable?

This guy... seems very horny.

Perhaps at this time, his fleet has also been destroyed and buried in the belly of the fish.

Thinking of this, as his benefactor, Fang Jifan unexpectedly felt a little bit, and his heart...a little hurt.

But... just shake your head?

If you shake your head, you don't need to take any risks, after all, it is the responsibility of the Ministry of War now.

However, if he said that Xu Jing was just joking, then Fang Jifan also firmly believed that all the work of voyages to the West would come to an abrupt end, and Daming would return to its original state.

At this time, in the far west, explorations into the depths of the ocean have begun. Westerners have already taken a step ahead. They have reached the Cape of Good Hope, and soon they may reach the Philippines, or even Ryukyu and Macau.

They have reached the Americas, and they have discovered vast spaces one after another.

Daming is one step behind, and will fall behind every step of the way. This great country is at a crossroads, and there is no time to waste.

Hey……

Fang Jifan sighed in his heart, Fang Jifan was very entangled in his heart, but in his opinion, the voyage to the West must continue no matter what, even if someone is smashed to pieces, Fang Jifan will bet on it.

The kid who bet on Xu Jing, and Xu Jing's father, Xu Jing's father, his father's father, Xu's family for several generations, for the Song Yuan and Emperor Wen's period, for the study of ancient books of those times, rely on Spectrum.

Although...Fang Jifan has always suspected that this family is using the name of studying the Song and Yuan Dynasties as a pretense.

But the arrow is on the string, so I have to send it!

My lord, Fang Jifan gambled, at most it caused a huge loss, and in the end, Fang Jifan was smashed to pieces?

The big deal is that when the time comes, I will turn my eyes and stare twice, killing myself and having a brain attack. In order to calm the anger of the public, my future will definitely be gone, but at least... my life should be saved.

"I believe in Xu Jing." After Fang Jifan made up his mind, he said eloquently: "Xu Jing is my student, and I have always admired him. He is a man who keeps his word, is upright, and has vision. I believe that He is still alive at this time, I believe that he will find the route, and I believe that he will come back to offer a new route, I have no doubts about this. Your Majesty, the money and food from the Ministry of Households have been allocated, and countless civilians have begun The dock was built, and the wood was cut and processed. At this time, if you sail against the current, you will retreat if you don’t advance. Fingers, four toes, it's a big deal, you can also add the title of a minister, the title of a minister

The disciples are the guarantee. "

Emperor Hongzhi gasped.

Liu Jian and the others also looked at each other in blank dismay, and then fell silent.

This is a tough decision.

Should it stop?

or continue?

Emperor Hongzhi frowned deeply, and after a long silence, he suddenly looked at Zhu Houzhao and said, "You are the prince, what do you think?"

Zhu Houzhao never expected that his father would specifically ask him for advice on such an important matter.

He couldn't help being a little excited. This was the first time that his father asked him about politics. Could it be because he scolded his father just now, and his father suddenly repented?

If this is the case, it seems that the emperor is usually scolded less.

It's just... this question also made Zhu Houzhao difficult.

Because he very well remembered how Fang Jifan had complained about several of his disciples in front of him!

Wang Shouren is a strange person, Ouyang Zhi has a problem with his brain, Tang Yin is just a fool, Liu Wenshan, Jiang Chen... ah... bah, as for Xu Jing, he is a scumbag.

Fang Jifan pointed out all kinds of lustful deeds of Xu Jing, then looked at Zhu Houzhao with resentment, and told Zhu Houzhao that His Highness must not learn from human scum like Xu Jing. You should keep yourself clean.

What Zhu Houzhao didn't know was that Fang Jifan reminded Zhu Houzhao that using Xu Jing as a negative teaching material was actually a precautionary measure! In history, Zhu Houzhao could not give birth to children. Fang Jifan thought about it. This may be related to his lust when he was young. Of course, it is just related. As a friend, it is better to remind him than to be indifferent.

Well, with what Fang Jifan said, Zhu Houzhao naturally didn't have a good impression of Xu Jing!

At this time, he couldn't help but think in his heart, what a Fang Jifan, you scold your disciples behind your back every day, and you will use all your wealth to protect him after turning around.

After thinking about it, Zhu Houzhao said: "Fang Jifan believes in Xu Jing, and my son believes in Fang Jifan."

"Huh?" Emperor Hongzhi raised his eyebrows, and he seemed dissatisfied with this completely brainless answer.

Zhu Houzhao continued: "I also hope that my father can trust me."

call……

Looking at Zhu Houzhao's childish yet determined look, Emperor Hongzhi knew that he was making a difficult decision.

Finally, Emperor Hongzhi still made a decision.

"Decree! Everything remains the same! At various ports, if there is any information about Xu Jing... and... what is the name of the ship?"

Upon hearing the name of the ship, Fang Jifan could not remember it very clearly, and quickly said: "The scum of the world is not an official."

Emperor Hongzhi stared at Fang Jifan deeply, and suddenly felt a little regretful, and finally said: "If you have news about them, report it immediately."

Liu Jian thought for a while, and it seemed that at the moment, a dead horse was becoming a living horse doctor. He collected himself and said, "I obey the order."

Fang Jifan breathed a long sigh of relief, and said silently in his heart, Xu Jing, Xu Jing, you have to fight for your breath, otherwise you will really be finished as a teacher. If you are finished, you are not just a teacher? The painstaking efforts of hundreds of thousands of people in the Ming Dynasty, and the countless money and food, will be exhausted. If they lose, they will lose the destiny and future of the Ming Dynasty.

After all, if it takes twenty years to explore slowly, who can guarantee that the imperial court will continue to invest in it?

This kind of thing is really a long night and a lot of dreams. If there is no route and everything starts from scratch, such a huge cost and time cost are enough to stop this voyage to the West at any time.

At this time, Emperor Hongzhi sat down, and after making this difficult decision, he seemed to be exhausted.

In fact, everyone in the Snappers is betting.

Fang Jifan made a bet, the crown prince followed, and Emperor Hongzhi was also determined to follow these two guys, stud, so all the officials in the court were directly packed by Emperor Hongzhi and sent to the gambling table.

But now that he had made up his mind, Emperor Hongzhi waved his hand and said, "This matter was wronged by the officials of the Ministry of War at the time. After a careful investigation, if these people are found out, anyone who is involved in dereliction of duty at the beginning will not be lightly forgiven. Ma Qing's family ..."

Ma Wensheng's face was still pale, and he said tremblingly: "The minister is here."

Emperor Hongzhi said: "This is not your fault. I have clear rewards and punishments, and I will not take my anger out on you. But from now on, the Ministry of War must not make mistakes again. Not only the Ministry of War, but all departments must be rectified. This year, order the Ministry of Officials, The Metropolitan Procuratorate conducts a Beijing inspection to assess the officials of various ministries, and those who are usually negligent will be dismissed."

Ma Wensheng was ashamed and felt ashamed, and said quickly: "My lord... thank you for your kindness."

…………

Well, it’s finally over, the tiger is exhausted, he’s going to rest, and everyone goes to bed early, let’s continue tomorrow! Finally, routinely ask for a monthly pass! thank you all! Good night!
