The military report was passed on.
It was impossible for the courtiers to swarm around like grabbing eggs. The big bosses from the three provinces watched first and took turns. At the emperor's instruction, Wen and Wu briefly explained the situation at the top of their lungs.
Military reports, great victory, coming from the East China Sea.
There has been a saying in the Ministry of War that there is no great victory in the East China Sea. It can also be said that there is no victory in the East China Sea.
Jie, Dajie, refers to victory, a major victory in war.
Defend a place, defend the door of your home, defend your own home, if the defense is down, that is not called "quick".
What is victory? Taking the initiative and winning the battle is called victory.
This is also the reason why the Donghai Navy is most looked down upon in the east, south, west and north. From the previous dynasty to the present, no armed warship has ever approached Yingdao, let alone shot an arrow. No stones have been thrown. For so many years, they have been passively beaten and defended. The Japanese warships come and leave whenever they want. They are so cowardly.
However, just seven days ago, a great victory occurred in the East China Sea.
Seven days ago, six Japanese privateers invaded the coast, nominally for revenge. The area of attack was near Youcheng, which was the fiefdom of King Zhou Ben of Zhao.
King Zhao entered Beijing because he took the palace guards and some garrison soldiers out to sea to pursue three warships. This time, these six fully armed Japanese privateers also avenged those three warships.
As a result, these six Japanese warships fell into the "ambush circle".
The military report was written by the navy master, saying that King Zhao Zhou Ben had predicted before he left the East China Sea and entered the capital that the Japanese pirates were very brave and fierce. If they sank three warships, they would definitely come back for revenge, and they would most likely land in the waters of Youcheng.
However, no one supported it at that time, mainly because the naval commander did not support it. The general meaning is that no one took Zhou Bi's words seriously. However, Zhou Bi, who had a very strategic vision, insisted on going his own way and invested a lot of manpower and material resources to make a thorough plan before leaving. Arrangement, an ambush circle set up in the waters of Youcheng.
Facts have proved that Zhou Ben was right in his bet. All six Japanese privateers were annihilated. The palace guard organized a large number of people in the city to engage in an unofficial annihilation war.
Four of the six warships were sunk, two were captured, and 1,872 Japanese bandits were killed. It can be said to be a rare success in the East China Sea. The most important thing is that one of our own battles lost even one Chengdu. Less than.
After understanding the situation, the civil and military officials of the entire court praised him.
Lao Ba Longyan Dayue, who rarely laughed in front of the ministers, looked at Zhou Bi who was praised by the ministers, and felt happy and proud.
Even many military generals couldn't help but glance at Zhou Ben.
You must know that the third prince has been dealing with civil servants and scholars since he entered the capital, and he has nothing to do with the "warriors".
Only now do I know that the master of emotions is a man of both civil and military skills.
Strong generals are uncommon, but not rare.
What is rare is a handsome man with a strategic vision. The mere fact of setting up an ambush circle is enough to make people look at him with admiration. It is quite a bit like winning a battle thousands of miles away.
"Okay, okay, okay."
After saying the word "good" three times in a row, Lao Ba, who was very happy, slapped his thigh: "Reward!"
Wenwu bent down and listened.
Lao Ba smiled and said: "No, the palace will not reward you. If you want to be rewarded by the court, the Ministry of Rites will quickly draw up a regulation."
The officials of the Ministry of Rites said yes one by one, and they were all happy. The relationship with Zhou Ben had been going well recently, and they were happy to hear it.
Zhou Ben had a humble and slightly ashamed smile on his face, very modest.
The atmosphere in the entire court was very good, everyone was smiling, except for one person, You Wang Zhou Yan.
Zhou Yan didn't smile, his face turned pale, and he stared at his third brother closely.
The source of information about Four Seasons Resort cannot be wrong.
You must know that the villa also has its own "intelligence system". The ladies under Yuqi's supervision will compile a large amount of information every day, and finally screen and record it before handing it over to Beimen Yuyong.
Secondly, there are the bankers managed by Zhu Shang. These bankers will also intentionally or unintentionally inquire about some information through other people. Most of these people work in various prefectures in the capital.
Finally, there is the Yi Dao Camp. Because Fu Yuxiang is not here, Zhou Yan is temporarily in charge, and Zhou Yan has handed over the management to the palace guard Zhang Zhuo. As for Azhuo, he will send soldiers from the camp from time to time to pretend to be scholars. Enter Beijing and go to various restaurants, teahouses and other places to collect information.
The information collected through three different channels will be finally compared, screened and judged by Beimen Yuyong.
It was Beimen Yuyong who through "judgment" believed that Zhou Ben would go to court today, believed that someone would make trouble today, and even identified some of the people who made trouble.
Facts have proved that Beimen Yuyong's judgment was correct, and Zhou Ben did go to court.
Zhou Ben always goes to court, which does not mean that Beimen Yuyong's judgment is correct.
However, Beimen Fatty also identified some "personnel". During the court, Zhou Yan had been observing these people. From their facial expressions and eye contact, it was obvious that they had no good intentions. At the same time, it also confirmed that Beimen Yuyong speculation.
As a result, the young prince was unexpected. The expected impeachment or criticism did not appear, but a good news.
This good news did not make Zhou Yan breathe a sigh of relief, but instead made him feel like he had fallen into an ice cave.
When the guards walked into the hall and shouted victory, most of them were confused, but those few people whom Zhou Yan had been secretly observing did not show any surprise or confusion on their faces.
Zhou Yan was so smart that he came up with a guess, a guess that made him fall into an ice cave, and he thought that this guess was close to ten.
The whole court praised Zhou Bi, while Zhou Yan came quietly to Da Laohuang, the left minister of the Ministry of War.
"Master Huang."
Zhou Yan's voice was trembling, he lowered his head and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "My mentor said that if you encounter trouble, you must look for Master Huang."
Huang Youwei kept smiling, as if he admired Zhou Ben as much as the other courtiers.
"Master Huang." Zhou Yan's voice lowered a little: "Good news... Good news..."
Zhou Yan couldn't say the words "There will be no lies".
He hopes that the good news is true, which will make him proud and proud of his third brother.
But in fact, this good news came by chance. It came... and there was no look of surprise on the faces of several officials among the civil servants.
Zhou Yan suddenly heard a sigh, a vague sigh.
The young prince suddenly raised his head, but the elder Huang was still smiling, making Zhou Yan wonder if he had just heard a hallucination.
Huang Youwei still didn't speak, but looked at Zhou Bi who was praised by the ministers. The smile on his face was so sincere, and his eyes were so indifferent and contemptuous.
At this moment, the guard who had just come in once ran over again, stumbling and frightened, and shouted in a voice like a father who died after his mother remarried.
"Your Majesty~~~Great victory at Nanguan, great victory at Nanguan, Your Majesty, Nanguan, Nanguan...Great victory at Nanguan!"
