Daming: I can’t kill such a greedy prince-in-law?

"Duke Song, please speak quickly!"

Zhu Biao also spoke hurriedly.

Once the Yunnan rebellion is quelled, the Ming Dynasty can continue to develop freely, which is definitely a good thing!

If the war is delayed or stuck in a quagmire, it will be like the Ming Dynasty is constantly losing blood and will not be able to devote all its strength to doing anything. This will not only affect Yunnan Province, but other provinces will also be affected.

To be honest, Zhu Biao was extremely anxious some time ago. He went to the clan house every day to pester Ouyang Lun, hoping that Ouyang Lun could give him some advice. However, Ouyang Lun was not panicked at all and did not give any advice. Zhu Biao could only worry.

Now it seems that Zhu Biao is still far behind Ouyang Lun!

Although Feng Sheng wrote in the military newspaper about the victory of the army in suppressing the rebellion, many details were not mentioned, and many things are difficult to fully express in words. Listening to Feng Sheng's personal description is the most direct way.

Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao spoke one after another.

Feng Sheng was also planning to speak.

But at this moment, Feng Sheng felt the gazes of Li Shanchang, Lan Yu and other Huaixi Party officials. Feng Sheng was a member of the Huaixi Party after all. Even though he did not hear what Li Shanchang, Lan Yu and others said, Feng Sheng understood what they meant at this moment.

This was to allow him to flatter Ouyang Lun in front of Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao during the description!

This is a good opportunity to overthrow Ouyang Lun. Even if there is no way to overthrow Ouyang Lun, we can use this incident to severely suppress Ouyang Lun and restore the glory of the Huaixi Party!
In fact, as early as when he rushed back to the capital, Li Shanchang, Lan Yu and other members of the Huaixi Party had been constantly sending him information. These messages were all similar. In addition to telling him what happened in the court during the time he was away from the capital, the most important thing was to let him find a way to belittle Ouyang Lun!
As the main general in the Yunnan rebellion suppression campaign, as long as Feng Sheng spoke first and pointed the finger at Ouyang Lun, then Li Shanchang, Lan Yu and other Huaixi Party officials would immediately swarm in. With their cooperation, even if Ouyang Lun could argue cunningly and had ten mouths, he would not be able to explain himself clearly!

By that time, the credit will go to their Huaixi Party, and the blame will be on Ouyang Lun!

But along the way, Feng Sheng had been thinking about the problem. Did he really want to cooperate with Li Shanchang, Lan Yu and others to attack Ouyang Lun at this time?

When he came to Taile Palace, Feng Sheng was hesitant and entangled, but when he accidentally looked at Ouyang Lun, although the two looked at each other for a very short time, it was precisely because of this look that Feng Sheng made a decision!
If Ouyang Lun did not do well in the Yunnan rebellion operation, Feng Sheng would not hesitate to attack Ouyang Lun, list all his faults, and ask the retired emperor Zhu Yuanzhang and the emperor Zhu Biao to deal with Ouyang Lun severely! !
However, as the main general in this rebellion suppression, no one knew better than Feng Sheng that Ouyang Lun was the great hero of this suppression. It was no exaggeration to say that if it were not for Ouyang Lun's arrangement, Feng Sheng and the 150,000-strong army would not have achieved victory, and it would have been God's blessing for them to come back alive!

Picking on Ouyang Lun's faults and even fabricating some trumped-up charges is, to put it bluntly, tantamount to deceiving the emperor!
If he won, Ouyang Lun would naturally be dealt with, but if he lost, based on his understanding of the characters of Li Shanchang, Lan Yu and others, he, Feng Sheng, would probably become a victim of this party struggle, and the retired Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang and the Emperor Zhu Biao would probably not keep such a nonsense minister as him.

The biggest loser will be himself.

He will end up with a fate even worse than Lan Yu.

But if you don't do this, everything will be much easier to handle.

"Duke Song?"

Seeing that Feng Sheng had not spoken a word, Zhu Biao immediately asked again.

Feng Sheng also reacted immediately and said, "Your Majesty, the suppression of the rebellion in Yunnan lasted more than four months, and the actual fighting was only in the middle of the month. It was definitely not the work of me alone."

Next, Feng Sheng described the entire battle truthfully without concealing anything.

"Your Majesty, it is precisely because of the sufficient logistical supplies that I can suppress the rebellion with peace of mind. And Xu Huizu, as the deputy general, provided me with many useful strategies, such as the field hospital and persuading the rebels to surrender. These are all the merits of Deputy General Xu Huizu!"

"The support of hundreds of civilians was a stroke of genius. Without their support, the suppression of the rebellion would never have been so smooth. The army suffered no more than 10,000 casualties, and only 500 soldiers died!"

"."

Feng Sheng's description made all the ministers in Taile Palace a little confused.

what happened?

Isn't this Duke of Song Feng Sheng a member of the Huaixi Party? Why do these descriptions seem to be asking for credit for Ouyang Lun and Xu Huizu?
The most confused people, of course, were Li Shan, Lan Yu and other Huaixi Party officials.

They were extremely looking forward to Feng Sheng's description and were ready to launch an attack.

As a result, after listening to Feng Sheng's description, they couldn't find any points to criticize or target Ouyang Lun at all, which made Li Shanchang, Lan Yu and others extremely uncomfortable. It was like accumulating energy for a long time but just couldn't use it, and they were almost hurt internally.

What is Feng Sheng doing?
Could it be that he has already betrayed us?

Faced with the questioning and even angry eyes of officials such as the Huaixi Party, Feng Sheng was quite helpless. In his heart, he certainly wanted to defeat Ouyang Lun, but this time, not to mention that Ouyang Lun did an impeccable job in suppressing the rebellion, even if he could find a reason, Xu Huizu, as the deputy general, had been in the army all the time and knew the whole thing very well, and could expose his lies in minutes.

I really can't think of a good excuse.

Not only will he fail to overthrow Ouyang Lun, but he will also get himself involved. How will the people of the entire Ming Dynasty view him, Feng Sheng, in the future?

As for how to explain to Li Shanchang, Lan Yu and others in the future, Feng Sheng was not worried. As a duke, his status and position in the Huaixi Party was only slightly lower than Li Shanchang and Lan Yu. Even if they had opinions about him, they would not dare to do anything. If the Huaixi Party did not tolerate him, Feng Sheng this time, he could completely learn from the Duke of Wei and the Duke of Xin and keep a certain distance from the Huaixi Party.

After all, he had just defeated the rebels. As long as he didn't commit suicide, no one would dare to attack him in the short term.

After hearing Feng Sheng's description, Zhu Biao nodded with satisfaction. Although he was a little surprised, this was undoubtedly the best situation. He was really worried that Feng Sheng and the Huaixi Party would take the opportunity to attack Ouyang Lun.

"Ha ha, alright!"

"The emperor and his subjects of the Ming Dynasty are united as one, and the rebels are not worth mentioning at all!"

"By the way, I heard that the army that was suppressing the rebellion this time has added a lot of good stuff, such as the three-wheeled vehicle, which is very powerful? How is the actual combat effect?"

Zhu Biao asked.

"Your Majesty, this three-wheeled vehicle is really a good thing! A three-wheeled vehicle is equivalent to a thousand-mile horse, and we have 10,000 of these three-wheeled vehicles. We can easily transport the supplies of millions of people to the front line!"

"Thanks to the three-wheeled motorcycles, our army has never been short of logistical supplies. It's so damn comfortable to fight such a rich war! Haha!" Feng Sheng became more and more excited as he spoke!
"So that's how it is. This three-wheeled vehicle is really a good thing!" Zhu Biao's eyes lit up after hearing this, but he did not realize the other uses of the three-wheeled vehicle.

Not only Zhu Biao, but other people also did not pay much attention to the three-wheeled vehicle. In their view, the three-wheeled vehicle was just a logistical transportation tool, at most similar to Zhuge Liang's wooden oxen and horses. It was said that it was made of steel, that is, a steel oxen and horses!
"Duke Song, I heard that the reason why our army suffered so few casualties during the rebellion suppression campaign this time was mainly because we had several field hospitals?"

Compared with the three-wheeled motorcycle, Zhu Biao was more concerned about the field hospital, which saved many soldiers' lives and was the most direct!
Hearing Zhu Biao's question, Feng Sheng quickly said, "Your Majesty, it is indeed the credit of the field hospital. The military doctors in these field hospitals are not only highly skilled, but also have many treatment methods. Anyone sent to them can be saved unless they die prematurely. The medicines they use are also very useful, and they have an immediate effect after taking them!"

"I went to the field hospital once and the way they saved lives really opened my eyes!"

"I suggest that field hospitals be promoted throughout the Ming army, with at least one field hospital for every 10,000 soldiers!"

Hearing this, Zhu Biao nodded repeatedly with a satisfied look on his face. "The field hospital has made great contributions in suppressing the rebellion this time. It is of great help to our Ming army. Next, the Ministry of War should think about it carefully and come up with a plan as soon as possible!"

Zhu Biao knew without asking Ouyang Lun that both the three-wheeled vehicle and the field hospital came from Ouyang Lun's hands, mainly the scientific research institute and medical school founded by Ouyang Lun!

These two institutions not only brought many new things to the Ming Dynasty, which were able to improve or change the lives of the people of the Ming Dynasty, but also, as two universities of the Ming Dynasty, they were constantly cultivating various talents for the Ming Dynasty.

Thinking of this, Zhu Biao couldn't help but praise Ouyang Lun: "Brother-in-law Ouyang, you are really amazing! You have a long-term vision and set up a scientific research institute and a medical school in advance. You can create so many good things for my Ming Dynasty!"

As Zhu Biao praised Ouyang Lun in front of all the civil and military officials, their expressions varied.

There are people watching the show, admiring, and even jealous.

It was really a good show to watch. In fact, except for the officials of the Huaixi Party, other officials could see that the Huaixi Party was obviously going to take advantage of the victory of the rebellion-suppressing army to do something else. The only surprising thing was that Feng Sheng, who had already sounded the clarion call against Ouyang Lun, not only did not target Ouyang Lun, but praised him instead!

Some people will definitely say that Feng Sheng rarely mentioned Ouyang Lun when describing the situation. How can this be considered praising Ouyang Lun?

Look at what Feng Sheng praised? Mobilizing the people, logistical support, Xu Huizu's help, the three-wheeled vehicle, and the field hospital. Which of these is not related to Ouyang Lun? Even Zhu Biao couldn't help but praise Ouyang Lun after hearing it, so there is no need to say more about others.

It can be said that he never mentioned Ouyang Lun, but he praised Ouyang Lun everywhere!

Based on Feng Sheng's words alone, Ouyang Lun cannot escape the blame for being the hero in suppressing the rebellion. What reason do the Huaixi Party have to criticize and attack Ouyang Lun?

Lan Yu had an unpleasant look on his face and wanted to force his way forward, but Li Shanchang gave him a look and he had no choice but to retreat.

"Your Majesty, these are just what I should do." Ouyang Lun said calmly, without any pride in his achievements. "And what I did was just to assist. The one who really defeated the rebels was the 150,000-man army led by Duke Song!!"

As soon as these words came out.

Everyone at the scene was immediately filled with question marks.

What the hell?

Are we dreaming?

Ouyang Lun and Feng Sheng actually praised each other and were humble to each other?
The Prince Consort Party and the Huaixi Party. When did they become so harmonious?

Both the officials from the Prince Consort's Party and the officials from the Huaixi Party were confused at this moment, but this was a happy thing for Zhu Biao. Such a harmonious scene was rare in the court!

"Ha ha!"

"The soldiers and the government offices have worked hard to suppress the rebellion this time. The court should give all the rewards that should be given to them!"

Zhu Biao spoke loudly.

"Your Majesty, Holy Might!"

Civil and military officials all spoke up.

"Oh, by the way, brother-in-law Ouyang, what do you think about Duke Song's suggestion to promote field hospitals in the Ming army?" Zhu Biao looked at Ouyang Lun with great interest.

Ouyang Lun nodded. "Equipping the army with a field hospital can indeed improve the army's sustained combat capability and reduce casualties. However, it is expensive to configure a field hospital. My suggestion is to give priority to the front-line troops."

"Otherwise, I am worried that the court's purse will not be able to bear it."

According to Ouyang Lun's character, he certainly wanted to popularize field hospitals, but the retired emperor Zhu Yuanzhang was very stingy. If he really told the old man about the expenses of the field hospital, the old man would probably jump up and down and even suspect Ouyang Lun of corruption!
After hearing what Ouyang Lun said, Zhu Biao wanted to ask how much this field hospital cost, but after thinking about it, he didn't say it out loud.

The reason is very simple. Ouyang Lun is the richest man in the Ming Dynasty and he controls the Ministry of Revenue. Even Ouyang Lun said that the court's purse could not afford it. This is enough to show that this field hospital is really expensive. If he asks about the price in front of all the civil and military officials, the price will be too high and it will inevitably cause some controversy!
This is something Zhu Biao did not want to see.

I'd better find an opportunity to ask in private.

"Since Brother Ouyang said so, you are still responsible for the field hospital. Your cabinet should pay attention to the promotion. If our Ming army can defeat the enemy at a very small cost in every battle in the future, it will be great!"

Zhu Biao said expectantly.

"Your Majesty, I have something to report!"

Ouyang Lun stood up and said.

oh! ?

Upon hearing this, Zhu Biao and all the civil and military officials were shocked, their eyes full of curiosity. Ouyang Lun rarely spoke in the court, but now he took the initiative to speak. What he said next might not be simple! (End of this chapter)
