The Reborn Duke of Ming Dynasty

While Wan Zhong was talking, he suddenly walked up to Zhang Fan. His wide sleeves blocked the realization of the people behind him. He reached into his cuffs and took out a stack of paper that looked very thick and stuffed it into Zhang Fan's clothes. She said flatteringly to Zhang Fan: "This is considered as a gift for the maidservant to meet you for the first time, but it's not much. Please forgive me, Master Zhang. In the future, I hope Master Zhang will speak a few words of kindness for the servant girl in front of Eunuch Feng."

Zhang Fan naturally knew what Wan Zhong gave him, but he didn't care about it. He felt that this matter was really awkward in his heart.

This Wan Zhong is really audacious, knowing that Zhang Fan came to Jiangnan this time to thoroughly investigate corrupt officials and courtiers, but he still dared to give him money so blatantly. Of course, Zhang Fan would definitely not report Wan Zhong to anyone. He simply arrested him, after all, he didn't care what happened to Wan Zhong, and he didn't care how he got the money, but it still has to be said that Wan Zhong's courage is extremely large.

The second point made Zhang Fan feel awkward. A eunuch who came to read the imperial decree would give the other party money. Although this is not unprecedented, there is no such thing in Zhang Fan's memory. Thinking of this, Zhang Fan couldn't help laughing at himself in his heart. Being an official is indeed what many people dream of, but this is definitely not Zhang Fan's original intention. Now, apart from being helpless in his heart, Zhang Fan has to put on a look on his face. Apart from accepting the money with a very happy smiling face, he really has no other choice. The so-called being in the world of mortals cannot help himself.

"This is natural. I think Eunuch Wan has become His Majesty's angel to deliver the imperial decree at such a young age, and now he is serving as the supervisor of the army. The future can be said to be boundless, the future is boundless," Zhang Fan also knocked out , anyway, it’s just full of praise and bragging. Although he hasn’t been an official for long, he also knows that not all people with lower status than you can be despised and looked down on at will, especially eunuchs. In the palace, you often come into contact with princes, nobles, and royal families. Who knows that one day the eunuch who was insulted by you will suddenly gain the trust of the higher-ups? In short, remember one thing, everything is left to three points, and the future will be brighter.

"By the way, Eunuch Wan, I heard that you met His Highness and his party on the road." Zhang Fan originally didn't want to ask Wan Zhong about Yingyue, but after thinking about it, he still couldn't let go of his worries about Yingyue's safety. Finally asked out.

"That's right, I did meet His Royal Highness and his party in Yanzhou Mansion," Wan Zhong said, "And Elder Xu Ge and His Excellency's uncle's family also traveled with His Highness, Mr. Zhang, please rest assured that they did not encounter any trouble along the way. , very safe, now that I think about it, His Royal Highness and his party have almost passed Jinan Mansion, and they will reach the capital in a few days."

"That's good, that's good..." Although Zhang Fan had made up his mind to ask about Wan Zhong Yingyue's situation, he didn't know what to say when the words came to his lips.

"It's just..." Wan Zhong suddenly looked at Liang Chao who was standing at the side, and said, "I also heard something, and I told this Qianhu under Mr. Zhang just now, but Mr. Zhang still doesn't know about it. , I heard that after His Highness and his party arrived at the Yanzhou mansion, one person disappeared, and I heard that the relationship between that person and Mr. Zhang is not shallow." Although Wan Zhong already knew about the relationship between Yingyue and Zhang Fan in Yanzhou , but he didn't say so now, he mentioned these personal issues, and Zhang Fan would feel displeased.

"What's going on?" Zhang Fan saw Wan Zhong speak out by himself, and he couldn't care less about anything else. He hurriedly asked, but saw Wan Zhong looking at Zhang Fan with puzzled eyes. He had no choice but to say, "To be honest, the missing woman is Zhang's concubine. Although she has not yet entered the gate of my Zhang family, Zhang has already sworn that she will marry her, but now she is so inexplicably missing." , Zhang is really worried." When Zhang Fan said these words, both words and expressions seemed extremely true, and [-]% of them were the true portrayal of Zhang Fan's current heart, and [-]% were his own. It was made for Wan Zhong to see. After all, eunuchs are inhumane after being cleansed. Zhang Fan was afraid that this topic about concubines would cause Wan Zhong's dissatisfaction.

"It turns out that Mr. Zhang knows," Wan Zhong said calmly, without any abnormal expression, but still anxious, and said to Zhang Fan, "It's no wonder Mr. Zhang is so nervous. Although there is no change in the stationed in the three cities, no one can say for sure what they will do next. In such a situation, it is indeed very dangerous for a woman to walk outside alone, but Master Zhang has her movements. to send someone to find her."

Zhang Fan didn't speak, but shook his head very distressed.

"Master Zhang, don't panic, maybe she is too worried about your safety and came this way," Wan Zhong said.

"Well, now I can only hope for this," Zhang Fan said, immediately changed his expression, smiled at Wan Zhong and said, "This is Zhang's family business, and now I want to make my father-in-law laugh at me." up,"

"Hey, what did Mr. Zhang say?" Wan Zhong hurriedly shook his hand and said, "Mr. Zhang, this is human nature. There is nothing difficult to say. Besides, if you don't even care about your family, such a person And how can he put the people in his eyes and act as the minister of the humerus, "Well, this Wan Zhong can speak very well, and if there are no accidents in the future, he will definitely be a character.

"Hehe, my father-in-law is absurd," Zhang Fan said modestly, "Let's stop here for private matters. Now that my father-in-law is serving as the supervisor of the army, I think he wants to understand the situation here."

"That's right," Wan Zhong said with a nod, his expression became serious, "This is also the first time for this servant to be a military supervisor. If there is anything inappropriate, I hope Mr. Zhang will correct it in time. On the one hand, this servant has delayed the army. It's a big deal, that would be a big crime for slaves, and my lord knows that the military supervisors of this dynasty are in charge of meritorious crimes, rewards and punishments, and inspections, but they have no right to ask the generals how to command the army, so my lord must not care about slaves, just act casually Yes, slaves will never take the initiative to make any demands.

"The servant heard a lot of news on the way here, but it was hearsay after all. There is no way to check the military slaves sent to the capital by the adults, so I don't know what is going on here. Now I have to ask the adults to tell the servants explain,"

What Wan Zhong said, not to mention whether he was speaking from his heart or not, at least made people feel comfortable listening to it. Zhang Fan understood why Feng Bao wanted Wan Zhong to come over to be the supervisor, although he didn’t know Will he speak and command indiscriminately after he really joins the army, but at least this person is definitely a jack-of-all-trades, knows his identity, and knows when to say something.

Zhang Fan didn't talk too much at the moment, and gave Wan Zhong an overview of the current situation here. After Wan Zhong finished listening, he immediately began to scold the generals in the south of the Yangtze River: "The generals here are too childish. Now, even if you don't believe what your lord warned them, you should send more people to patrol the seaside day and night, but these people do this, it's like a burden to their official positions and the salary that the imperial court gives them every year, hum , not to mention how many benefits these people earn privately every year. From the perspective of slaves, this man died well, but it was too cheap for him. He should be arrested and placed in front of the people of Songjiang Mansion. That's the only way to calm the anger of the people." Wan Zhong seemed to have forgotten that he was thinking about Zhang Fan's bribery just now, but now he just scolded others.

"Elder-in-law, please calm down. Now that the matter has come to this point, it will be futile to say anything. Now we should focus on the present," Zhang Fan said hastily.

"What Master Zhang said is true," said Wan Zhong, "Now the Lord has a plan."

"I am worried that the Japanese pirates will attack us in three directions to disperse our forces, and I am even more worried that they will gather together," Zhang Fan said, "Now I have ordered Zhejiang to send warships on the waterway between Songjiang Prefecture and Ningbo Prefecture. Patrol, between Songjiang Mansion and Huai'an Mansion there are now five thousand elite soldiers led by Governor Ying Tian personally guarding to prevent these Japanese pirates from congregating together, if that is the case, it will be very difficult for ten thousand Japanese pirates to gather together, "

"Well, Mr. Zhang is thinking," I don't know if Wan Zhong understands this, anyway, he just keeps nodding and exaggerating what Fan did well, "These pirates are all people who lost their monarchs and were kicked out of their country. Now that I want to come to my Heavenly Dynasty to dig out wildfires, I am really a bit bolder. I just want to show them some color, and let them know that I am a dignified Ming Dynasty, so these bereaved dogs can get their hands on it.

"And now His Majesty has ordered General Qi to lead his Qi family army to the south to fight against the Japanese. It is estimated that they will arrive in a few days. At that time, these Japanese pirates must be taught some lessons, and none of them should be allowed to run away. No, they should stay. More than a hundred people let them go back, so that they can spread my reputation in the heavenly dynasty, so that they will not dare to invade from now on."

To be honest, although Wan Zhong said these words with great confidence, it seemed that he didn't take the massive invasion of Japanese pirates seriously at all. Although Zhang Fan despised him in his heart, in fact, he also felt the same way with Wan Zhong in his heart. As he thought, he never took Japanese pirates seriously.

Especially now, Zhang Fan feels that what he has arranged should be able to resist the Japanese pirates, so that they will not cause greater losses, and the fact is the same. If things really develop according to the normal way, all that Zhang Fan has done is totally wrong. It can resist the invasion of Japanese pirates.

But he forgot some things. When he was in college in his last life, he studied public courses, including "Introduction to Mao Zedong Thought". We must despise the enemy in terms of tactics, and we must pay attention to the enemy in terms of tactics."

The Japanese pirates who lived nearly 500 years before the birth of this sentence have vividly interpreted the truth of this sentence,
