Chapter 99: The younger generation has broken the thief
Sometimes good news comes faster than human speed.
He Xi had just returned to Liaodong and immediately held a meeting to build a winery and a cannery in Lushun.
Needless to say, the winery. What is produced is Erguotou.
The production technology of Erguotou itself is not a problem, it will soon be distilled liquor. The raw material is sorghum. Distilled liquor has been around since the Yuan Dynasty. Just integrate existing technologies. The only problem is that the amount of wine required by an army of hundreds of thousands is not a small amount.
And as soon as he produced wine, He Xi also thought of alcohol.
And food consumption cannot be too large. This is hard for He Xi.
He Xi thought to herself: "Is there any way to produce alcohol without using grain?"
He knew that this method must be wrong. It's a pity that he doesn't know. It seems that agriculture in Liaodong, and even the entire north, is the biggest problem that checks and balances the industrial development in Liaodong.
Then there are the canneries. Sheep were killed in Liaodong, put into cans, and easily sent to the front line. Not to mention, this method can also be used to process fish, especially whale meat. He Xi is naturally willing to develop vigorously.
He Xi just dealt with this matter. Good news came. The Ming army defeated the Japanese army, occupied the coastal islands of Kyushu, and besieged Nagasaki. Nagasaki is just around the corner.
Among them, Fang Chengfeng made great contributions, suppressing the Japanese navy and transporting the entire army to Kyushu. This alone is the most important thing.
Although Fang Chengfeng and He Xi are about the same age. But in terms of political status, he is really He Xi's junior.
Fu Youde was stationed in Korea and had no immediate command at all. The person responsible for commanding the Battle of Nagasaki was Fu Zhong.
Obviously, Fu Youde is paving the way for his son. Let Fu Zhong improve his record in Japan.
When the war broke out in Japan, He Xi felt very happy and couldn't help laughing and said: "Sure enough, the younger generation has defeated the thief."
------
In Nanjing, when Feng Sheng saw the good news, he couldn't help but laugh and said, "Young people have broken thieves?" Then he felt a little sad. The only thing Feng Sheng lacked in his life was a son. He admitted that Fu Youde was a good general and even a handsome man. But he, Feng Sheng, had never been weaker than Fu Youde. In terms of qualifications and record, Feng Sheng was confident that he was superior to Fu Youde. But it just so happened that Fu Zhong, the child, was slightly less qualified. But the war is fought in a orderly manner, and there is no such thing as a skill. But dare to fight and charge. It is enough to become a general.
After all, these veteran generals had to fight out of many people. It is normal for younger generations to be inferior to me.
And since he, Feng Shenglian, had a son, it would be difficult to pass on his title. Even political resources can only be passed on to his nephew Feng Cheng. Of course, Feng Cheng is also a good boy, filial, kind-hearted, and good to his two daughters. His absence is enough to support his two daughters. But not as good as Fu Youde's son.
This made Feng Sheng feel a little uncomfortable.
Feng Cheng didn't know that Feng Sheng thought of him like this. He said, "Uncle, His Majesty is preparing to summon you, and the Marquis of Yingchuan has won a great victory, which shows God's help."
Feng Sheng shook his head and said: "The Ming Dynasty is in the palace now. It's not somewhere else. Let's go. Don't let Your Majesty wait."
Feng Sheng immediately went out and got on the carriage.
Feng Sheng is indeed old.
He had never ridden a horse before. Although winter in the south is far inferior to that in the north. But Feng Sheng suddenly felt that he couldn't stand the cold wind anymore. Feng Sheng also tried to be brave for a while, but time was merciless and his stubbornness forced him to recuperate at home.
As time goes by, you will learn to behave well.
It’s not okay to refuse to accept old age.
Feng Sheng staggered and closed his eyes to rest. I thought about what to say to Zhu Yuanzhang after a while. Or what to say.
Suddenly, the carriage stopped. Feng Cheng said; "It's already here."
After Feng Sheng got out of the car, he found the palace gate in sight.
Feng Sheng pressed his thigh. The Forbidden City in Nanjing covers a large area. In the palace, riding a horse and walking are not something ordinary people can do. Moreover, as a military general, Feng Sheng had never thought of receiving such treatment before. Only this time when he came back from Beijing, he suddenly felt a little embarrassed about the distance from the palace gate to Qianqing Palace.
However, after a while, Feng Sheng had adjusted his mentality. He strode towards the palace.
Not long after he was in the palace, he met the prince.
The prince seemed to have met by chance. He greeted Feng Sheng and said, "Song Guogong, are you okay?"
Feng Sheng said, "I'm sorry for the prince's concern."
The prince and Feng Sheng were walking in the palace one after another. The prince said, "My lord, I will see your majesty later and be humble. What you did is really out of line."
Feng Sheng understood at this moment that his encounter with the prince was definitely not a chance encounter.
Feng Sheng said, "I know my mistake. But I am helpless. The hundreds of thousands of troops in the north are all thinking about making achievements, and I can't force them to do anything."
"My lord, what you said is wrong." The prince said; "There are definitely no people in the Ming Dynasty army who dare to commit such crimes. Who has any complaints? The three-foot law of the imperial court is designed for them. Let's look at their heads. How much does it weigh?"
The prince said it lightly. Feng Sheng's pupils shrank slightly when he heard this.
It's not that Feng Sheng couldn't stand the prince's words.
Don't say that, Prince. It's not like Feng Sheng has never done the kind of thing the prince said. Feng Sheng was surprised because it was the prince who said this. In his impression, the prince was always gentle, kind and kind. How could such decisive killing words come from the prince's mouth.
Feng Sheng didn't know that Jing Nan had become the prince's inner demon. He didn't know how many times he dreamed of himself, sitting on the dragon throne, and his fourth brother came with thousands of troops to kill him. What he called Jing Nan Xun Chen, Duke Qi, Duke Cheng, Duke Ying and other generals.
Whenever he dreams of this scene, he wakes up suddenly. sweating a lot.
If the truth is true, if the prince is not pure in nature. There is affection for brothers and sisters. His change was more than just that.
However, these shadows still left a deep mark on the prince.
Feng Sheng doesn’t know what happened to the prince? The prince's actions gave Feng Sheng some respect.
Being an emperor is not something that a kindhearted gentleman can do. Especially veterans like Feng Sheng, who are kind and tolerant, seem to them to be weak and can be bullied. Now that the prince has such a murderous spirit, Feng Sheng appreciates the prince even more.
But the prince's next words vented most of his murderous anger. The prince paused slightly and continued: "However, the prince should communicate with the court about the thoughts of the generals in the army. If nothing else, just write me a letter. Letters are fine too. It won’t lead to the current situation.”
"It doesn't end well."
Feng Sheng naturally understood that the prince was trying to win over him.
For a moment, he didn't know what to do.
Because before this, the prince was very measured. That is, for these veteran heroes, an uncle is called. It's like meeting an elder, but there is not much contact in private. The reason is very simple. The emperor is still here, and the prince is getting along with the generals. What is the intention?
Feng Sheng thought a lot and said, "I understand. This time it's my fault. Please give His Majesty the Crown Prince a few words of kindness."
This sentence seems ordinary. It also represents a statement from Feng Sheng.
Of course, letting Feng Sheng stand on the side of the prince and go against the emperor is something that is unthinkable, but it would be a good relationship with the prince. Leave room for the future. Feng Sheng is also willing. After all, in the eyes of almost everyone in the world, the prince's position is as secure as a mountain.
There is nothing to waver at all.
The prince said, "That's natural." When the prince said this, he suddenly paused and said, "How about my fourth brother in Peiping?"
The prince's tone was full of complex meanings.
The prince never knew how to face Zhu Di. Zhu Di did nothing wrong. At least that's the case for now. But the problem is, what Zhu Di did in history makes it difficult for the prince to trust Zhu Di.
The prince would not be able to attack a younger brother who had made no mistakes. But if Zhu Di is left alone, the prince will not be able to cope with it in his heart.
This kind of repeated entanglement is beyond Feng Sheng's knowledge. Feng Sheng just thought that the prince's brotherhood was deep and he immediately said: "Your Highness, His Highness King Yan is very good. He has done a lot of things in Peiping."
The prince said, "Oh, what's going on?"
