Chapter 209 I don't want you to think, I want me to think(2/3)

Chang Mao seemed to have not beaten up enough, so he followed him to chase him out.

Fang Shiyu's mouth twitched, "Damn the old Zhu family are all drama artists, and they haven't had enough acting yet?"

Infernal Affairs for three or four months, the third part has been completed. Why is there another sequel? It’s still a brand new plot and a brand new actor?

Fang Shiyu just pretended that she didn't see it, and then fell on the bed with the opportunity!

Looking straight at the ceiling, everyone said that Prince Zhu Biao was honest and honest. Why did he look like this guy now?

"Sir, I'll apologize to you for them! My father asked me to come over and take you to see him!"

Zhu Biao gave a disciple ceremony and said it respectfully.

Come on, this scene is about to be changed.

If the young one is not good, the old one is about to take action!

Fang Shiyu even doubted whether Zhu Biao had been outside forever. If Zhu Quan and Zhu Zhi could handle it themselves, he would not show up. Only when Zhu Quan and Zhu Zhi couldn't handle it would he show up in time.

On the surface, Lao Zhu's head was moved by his emotions and reason, showing that he was relieved by a hundred times, but he was still worried in secret!

"Old Zhu, at most three years! I will definitely come back in three years!"

Fang Shiyu returned with a confident look on his face. This time he was just going out to explore a way, not marching and fighting, so naturally it didn't take that long.

There is no risk at all when you set out along the coast.

Fang Shiyu was even sure that this route would be the only route between the Ming Dynasty and the New World within two hundred years.

As for crossing the Pacific Ocean, Fang Shiyu felt that it was a bit long and could not be done in a short period of time.

"It's been 23 or 4 years since you come back. I don't know if I can survive until that time!"

Zhu Yuanzhang sighed.

"Old Zhu, you are in good health and you can eat whatever you like. It's no problem to live for a few decades."

Fang Shiyu patted her chest and said that he could still guarantee this.

Fang Shiyu cannot guarantee whether Empress Ma and Zhu Biao can survive until that time, but Zhu Yuanzhang obviously can.

"Don't flatter you, Tiger Talisman, go to the Five Army Governor's Office to transfer troops, 50,000 troops and 600 warships. Get out early and come back early!"

Zhu Yuanzhang turned his head and waved his hand.

"Old Zhu, don't worry, I will definitely come back with the treasure as soon as possible!"

Seeing that Zhu Yuanzhang had actually let go, Fang Shiyu couldn't help but feel mixed emotions.

Zhu Yuanzhang and Fang Shiyu stayed in the Qianqing Palace all night, and the two of them did not sleep all night and said something all night.

The next day.

As soon as the sky was dawn, Fang Shiyu took the tiger talisman and headed straight to the governor's office of the Five Army.

Xu Da had been at the door for a long time, and obviously had received Zhu Yuanzhang's order.

Seeing Fang Shiyu coming with the tiger talisman, he didn't ask much.

"Boy Fang, I will select the 50,000 most elite troops for you. Each of them has been through the battlefield for a long time. They are the wealth I have accumulated over the years!"

Xu Da led Fang Shiyu directly and walked into the Governor's Office of the Five Army. The two of them were considered old acquaintances.

"Old Xu, there is no need! This time I went to sea to cut people. Please choose some people with better water properties and no seasickness. It is best to be familiar with water wars and better understand sea wars. You are more proficient in using firearms, especially the use of the Three-Eyed Fire System. As for whether they will fight, it is secondary."

Fang Shiyu immediately explained that in fact, naval battles are much simpler than land battles, with less tactical requirements and less need to arrange troops.

To put it bluntly, whoever has a larger warship and whose warship is more resistant to bombing will become the final winner.

At least in the current Hongwu period, there were not so many twists and turns. Basically, the so-called naval battle was to rush around with iron heads.

Poyang Lake and the sea are different things. If you want to replicate the fire camps in Chibi again, it is basically unlikely. Even the Rockets will have minimal effect in naval battles.

The wind and waves on the sea are not comparable to Poyang Lake. Playing with fire makes it easy to burn yourself and cause fire to burn yourself!

"Boy Fang, when are you going to leave?"

Xu Da didn't say much, nodded and asked slowly.

"Of course we should set out as soon as possible. According to my plan, the preparation will be completed within three days, all the staff will board the ship within five days, and the army will be deployed within seven days. Lao Zhutou has already greeted the Ministry of Revenue and is waiting to allocate funds. However, the Ministry of Revenue has no minister now, so it is estimated that it will take some time to delay."

Fang Shiyu couldn't help but sigh when she heard this.

The Guo Huan case caused the entire Ministry of Revenue to be almost emptied. Old Zhu was so happy to kill him. Except for the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Works, there were also the Minister of the Six Divisions. You can’t even get the Minister of the Other Divisions.

Three of the four major cases have occurred now, and there are tens of thousands of people who died. If Lan Yu had not been stopped by Fang Shiyu, she would have probably been on Zhu Yuanzhang's death list long ago.

"Your Majesty has issued an imperial edict. If you have any requirements, please say it. I promise to meet them one by one! In three days, you can prepare the necessary supplies. In another day, you can get up and go to Longjiang military parade. I can guarantee that you can let the army be driven in seven days!"

Xu Da nodded.

The two of them made a brief handover, and Fang Shiyu exchanged a few more greetings, saying that this time he went to sea, he would definitely bring some good things to Xu Da when he came back, which was a good thing that could revive his men's magnitude.

After finalizing the departure schedule, Fang Shiyu said goodbye and left.

As soon as I walked into the palace, I immediately saw a group of civil and military officials. Their eyes seemed not so friendly, and they were all dejected.

Fang Shiyu was very curious and quickly grabbed Prince Zhu Biao.

"Xiao Zhu, what's going on?"

When Zhu Biao saw Fang Shiyu ask, he immediately smiled.

"Sir, you are in the limelight now! The father issued several imperial edicts last night, dispatching troops and generals, 50,000 troops, food and grass for three years, more than 600 warships, and countless muskets and gunpowder."

"The Ministry of Works and the Ministry of War were ordered to take it out for a limited time of five days. This is not the end. The Ministry of Revenue also asked the Ministry of Revenue to distribute military pay to the 50,000 soldiers in advance."

"Sir, now I know why these officials are dejected like eggplants made from frost?"

Zhu Biao said slowly.

Fang Shiyu went to the Governor's Office early in the morning, so naturally he didn't go to attend the morning court. How could he know these things?

Now that he heard Zhu Biao say this, he suddenly became speechless.

"So that's it! Some of these officials are busy one by one. I feel that I am the culprit!"

Fang Shiyu smiled and didn't take it seriously.

"Sir, do you know how much it costs to go to sea this time?"

Seeing that Fang Shiyu was not taking it seriously, Zhu Biao couldn't help but sigh and asked.

"The elite troops have 50,000 yuan and their military pay for three years. These two are about nine million taels of silver, right? As for other losses, they are a decimal amount, and the total total will not exceed fifty thousand taels of silver. The other big one is three years of food pay, and the total total should be about fifteen million taels of silver."

Fang Shiyu slowly returned to this number, he had already estimated that it was not easy for Old Zhu to invest so much this time and let him take action in person!

Fang Shiyu suddenly felt a little regretful and didn't squeeze out a few tears in front of Lao Zhu's head.

However, if he really squeezed out a few tears, Lao Zhu probably kicked him again and told him to get out of here.

"Sir, you're doing the same. But have you ever thought about a question? The annual tax revenue of our Ming Dynasty is only 18 million taels of silver, and there are many of them, which are all kinds of specialties and other physical products."

"You spend 15 million taels in a row. This is almost the financial asset that we can only accumulate in the four years of Ming Dynasty, and we have to eat or drink! So the look of these officials looking at you is a little resentful, which is reasonable."

Zhu Biao was so envious and jealous at this time!

What a stingy person, Dad!

If others don’t know, can he still not know?

But now, Mr. Fang is so generous. Not only does he ask for people but also money. The key is that he also trusts Mr. Fang so much and lets Mr. Fang lead the team to go out to sea. Even the fifteenth and seventeenth brothers, these two unhappy guys, don’t know if they can go out to sea with Mr. Fang.

Fang Shiyu couldn't help but feel moved when she heard this.

"What did Lao Zhu say?"

"The construction of the imperial tomb has been put on hold for the time being, and the expansion of the imperial palace has been stopped by the father. The expenses of the six ministries and the various yamen are also as frugal as possible. Wherever there is money, you must go to the Ganqing Palace to ask for the father."

"Mr. Fang, you are so powerful! My father's trust in you is more than that of me, the prince! He supports you with all his strength without regard for the consequences. He has more than 600 warships, 50,000 elite troops, and enough guns and powder. Mr. Fang, what are you going to do?"

Zhu Biao's tone was also a little jealous. Not to mention the 50,000 elite troops, after all, just these more than 600 warships were almost 80% of the entire Ming Navy.

Moreover, there was not one of the largest warships left, and they were all used for Fang Shiyu to go to sea.

As the prince of the Ming Dynasty and the executive vice chairman, Zhu Yuanzhang did not feel sorry for him, and Zhu Biao could not help but feel sorry for him!

"Everything, just look at it. When I come back, you will know what I'm going to do. Okay, I won't tell you now. I have to go find Lao Zhu to make a decision."

After Fang Shiyu finished speaking, he wanted to leave. It is not advisable to stay in places like the imperial palace for a long time!

Didn't you see all the civil and military officials in the court, and you would like to eat your own eyes?

But before Fang Shiyu could raise his foot, Zhu Biao suddenly stopped him.

"Sir, I beg you for something!"

Zhu Biao suddenly looked serious and gave another disciple ceremony, and said slowly.

"What's the matter? Why do you do so indifferent? Even if you say that."

Although Fang Shiyu had guessed what Zhu Biao was going to say, he remembered that this was the first time Zhu Biao asked him so seriously. After all, he was a prince, so he must have given him face.

"Sir, this is my personal request, and it has nothing to do with my father. I beg you to take your fifteenth and seventeenth brothers with you when you go out to sea. They are still young and need your husband to take care of them, especially your seventeenth brother."

"The father loves his seventeenth brother very much. This time, I want you to take with you, sir, which shows that your father is good at it! Sir, you don't have to blame him. His father has no other intentions. He just wants you to take your fifteenth brother and 17th brother to experience it well!"

"It's just that the second brother, the fourth brother and the fifth brother cannot get away from you. You are not familiar with the other brothers, sir. Only the fifteenth brother and the seventeenth brother are still young, which is more suitable. Think about it, why don't the father send you seventh brother, eighth brother and others to you? I'm afraid you have a grudge!"

"Of course, my father also loves the second brother, third brother, fourth brother, fifth brother, seventh brother, eighth brother, sixteenth brother, eighteenth brother..."

"Stop! Can't I promise you? Stop chanting the scriptures!"

Fang Shiyu rolled her eyes and quickly interrupted Zhu Biao. What a guy, Tang Seng likes to chant scriptures. This inspiration comes from you, Zhu Biao!
