The progress of Dongjiao University has been relatively smooth, and there have been no troubles.
Fang Zhengyi happily became the hands-off shopkeeper.
Anyway, there have been talented people in the county over the years who have sorted out the process, and he can do whatever he can.
After all, I have a real job, so I should be worthy of it.
Go to morning as usual.
Fang Zheng was as confused as ever. As long as he was not asked about his affairs, he would pretend that other things had not happened, let alone care about them.
This is the self-cultivation of the old salted fish.
But this time, things were a little unexpected.
"Can you say that again?"
Fang Zhengyi closed his eyes slightly, when Emperor Jing's angry voice suddenly came to his ears, and he couldn't help but feel shaken.
I looked up and saw Feng Jiejun, Minister of the Ministry of War.
Feng Jie said nervously: "The natives of Yishun rebelled and attacked Shanwei City, killing 2,700 officers and soldiers... After looting, they returned to the walled city."
"However, reports have been sent to the local area that reinforcements have been sent nearby."
"Is Shenji Camp available now?"
"Under renovation, not available yet..."
The anger on Emperor Jing's face had not dissipated, and he nodded helplessly: "Send Cui Jun, the left deputy capital censor, to lead the governor to Yishun to supervise the army. After suppressing it, we will appease him. Remember to report it in time."
Feng Jie nodded in agreement and then stepped back.
Fang Zheng only listened to half of it, and Fang Zheng was confused when he heard it.
But I still care about it... Local wars and conflicts, large and small, have actually never stopped.
However, there was no big war, only a few or dozens of people died. Now, 2,700 people died at once, which was the first time he had experienced this since he entered the court.
But thinking about it again, things that were thousands of miles away...had nothing to do with him.
Continue to slip away.
Until he retired from the court, Li Yuanzhao came up to him mysteriously: "Old Fang, there is a war in Yishun. Did you listen?"
"What does it have to do with me?"
"I'm not interested in any of this. You're still not a man! Come on, come with me to the East Palace."
In the East Palace, Li Yuanzhao hurriedly dug out an old map of Baba from somewhere and hung it on the wall.
Fang Zhengyi was listening like a primary school student below.
Li Yuanzhao held a sword in one hand, pointed to a location on the map and said: "This is Yishun, the old place of the Qian Kingdom. The barbarians gathered here, and later they surrendered to our Dajing. The imperial court has been sending transportation to this place for so many years." Money and food, but the barbarians cannot be educated, and disputes continue.”
"The conflict broke out this time because the local officials violated their customs again. Those barbarian natives have many problems, and I don't know which god they provoked. This kind of thing is also common. I didn't expect this. This is the first time things have caused such a big fuss."
"Stop!" Fang Zheng raised his hand and said, "Your Highness, does it seem meaningless to tell me this?"
"Your Majesty has already sent people to fight, why are you talking about this?"
Li Yuanzhao licked his lips and said: "I guess we can't win... at most it's a tie. No matter what, it's our loss."
"If it could be captured, my father would have sent people to attack it by force. Yishun is a mountainous area with dense forests and miasma, making it easy to defend but difficult to attack. Muskets are not as convenient as bows and arrows, and artillery is heavy and the shells cannot be aimed. The local natives are far better than us. The soldiers are more familiar with the environment. The purpose of this trip is to suppress and quell conflicts at most, and it is simply impossible to completely make them obey."
"Whether we win or lose this battle, we actually lose. With just this one defeat, the imperial court has lost its majesty. Originally, those natives were dissatisfied, but are there other tribes that are eyeing them? If we can't conquer them all at once, I'm afraid There will be endless troubles!”
"Fortunately, there is only one Yishun this time." Li Yuanzhao said, taking out another small map and hanging it up.
Pointing to a small house-like pattern above, he said: "This is the main city of Yishun. Many tribes gather here. I heard that they also worship some beliefs."
"If I were to lead the troops..."
"Wait a minute!" Fang Zheng looked at Li Yuanzhao suspiciously, "I heard that His Highness...does he want to go and fight?"
Li Yuanzhao twitched the corner of his mouth, coughed twice, and continued to point at the map.
"Listen to what I have to say. If I am leading the troops, I will first send a large army to the border...in three groups to advance the troops and force the natives into the walled city."
"According to past experience, the natives will definitely withdraw and defend the walled city. It is impossible for our people to survive outside the walled city for a long time. They will automatically withdraw their troops within a few days."
"But as long as we mobilize two hundred elite soldiers, attack the walled city at night, and then use gunpowder to break open the city gate, the army can march straight in..."
Fang Zheng nodded repeatedly: "Well, what next?"
"Then, lend me two hundred elite soldiers from Taoyuan County, and I will go and subdue those natives myself."
"..."
The corners of Fang Zhengyi's mouth dropped instantly: "Don't even think about it!"
"Your Highness, are you crazy? You go all the way to fight and still want to borrow my men. Your Majesty knows you have to kill me first."
"Besides, why do you want to borrow my people? Why do you want me to send them to the battlefield?"
Li Yuanzhao raised his head and sighed: "Old Fang, I am already at this age, and I feel that there is no hope of going to the battlefield again in this life. This is my only wish, really!"
"If you want to break open the city gate in a night attack, it is difficult to use ordinary soldiers. Those people in Taoyuan County are not only big and round, but also strong in physical strength. They have also been exposed to gunpowder... There is no more suitable candidate than them."
"The local generals are not brave enough! They don't know the power of gunpowder. Cui Jun, the supervisor sent by the emperor, is just a civil servant. What does he know? What if he interferes in military affairs and sends people to attack directly? How many casualties!"
This shameless thing actually had the idea of his own elite soldiers and refused to agree!
Fang Zhengyi's face made the old man angry and he shook his head vigorously.
"They are in the capital. It's too dangerous to do this kind of thing. If I don't lend it, you can't go either."
Li Yuanzhao said excitedly: "I will take the lead and win the battle. I don't know how many lives will be saved. Lao Fang, when did you become so cowardly?"
Fang Zheng had no choice but to persuade: "Your Highness, even if everything goes well, I don't know how much time it will take. Don't you want to see your child born with your own eyes?"
"What's more, how can you be sure that the imperial court will definitely lose the battle? Maybe it will be a great victory when you come back in a few months. Your Majesty will use his troops like a god, and you can't go wrong."
Li Yuanzhao felt depressed when he thought that he had a child.
Sitting down next to Fang Zhengyi, he sighed: "What you said makes sense. I thought you would support me. But believe me, the outcome of this battle will not be good. Both sides will be exhausted and can only compromise with each other in the end." , I am not wrong about this. If Yishun could win using conventional tactics, he would have been defeated by the Qian Kingdom’s army long ago."
When Fang Zheng saw that he had given up, he breathed a sigh of relief, stared at the map and said thoughtfully: "If you force people into the walled city and then throw kerosene from the sky, wouldn't that be a successful battle? What do you think?"
"Haha, of course that's good! But I think it would be more convenient to do this. It would be more convenient to drop the divine thunder from the sky and kill all the enemies." Li Yuanzhao laughed.
Fang Zhengyi shrugged, noncommittal.
He was too lazy to talk about cross-professional matters.
The hot air balloon didn't even have a single horoscope. It was just a native. The court was furious and sent heavy troops to defeat him?
...
