Prodigal Son of the Ming Dynasty

Liu Jian felt dizzy, and after trembling, he almost fell down.

The destruction of the fleet is a major event, and the casualties of hundreds of people seem to be a major event.

But in the Ming Dynasty, in fact...it was a trivial matter.

Because after all, Ming Dynasty is still strong in national power, and there are few sea-going ships, but as long as they are willing, they can build thirty or three hundred ships. What are a few sea-going ships in the district?

The casualties of hundreds of people are just a drop in the ocean for Daming with tens of millions of households.

This kind of thing can actually be big or small, Dali said, such a serious accident is enough to shake the government and the public, enough to trigger His Majesty's fury.

But to put it mildly, in the face of countless major events, it is actually not worth mentioning.

But what really made Liu Jian dizzy was one thing, that is...all the materials on the voyages had been turned into waste paper.

What a terrible thing this is.

The national policy of sailing to the West has been determined.

This cannot be changed anymore. In order to find the legendary good breed, Daming must go to the vast ocean and follow the example of the Sanbao eunuch back then, leaving his footprints in countless seas and lands.

But...there is no shipping route and no hydrological data, so it is necessary to open up again. The so-called seven voyages to the West are actually opening up routes again and again. The fleet travels farther each time. With the experience of the previous voyages, Next time, they will be able to sail thousands of miles. For the seven voyages to the West, the imperial court has prepared for decades, spent countless manpower and material resources, and hundreds of thousands of people have been requisitioned for it.

Without these, everything needs to be started from scratch, and it will take decades of painstaking efforts to reach the waters that were reached during the first voyage to the Western Ocean...

what is this?

This will be the blood and sweat of countless people, and it needs the painstaking efforts of successive kings to create it.

This is silver, food, and manpower!

What the cabinet does every day is to do the biggest thing with the least amount of money and food. Over the years, saving one province here and another province there!

But now, just because of this memorandum, the imperial court has saved a hundred years of food, and the little money they got from the household department may not be enough to squander in the future.

Liu Jian's face was bleak, and he sat down slumped, and said in a sad tone: "You...you missed the old man."

Ma Wensheng's face was as pale as paper, and he didn't even dare to raise his head!

At this time, he must not pass the responsibility to his predecessor. He is very clear that the more he shirks the blame, the more disgusting he will be. This pot, his Minister of the Ministry of War... has to bear it.

Ma Wensheng said: "The little official is old and dim-sighted, unable to bear the heavy responsibility, and has failed His Majesty's kindness. In this matter, the lower official would like to take the blame and resign as a soldier, and return to his hometown."

Liu Jian glared at him viciously, and said sharply: "Zhi Shi, Zhi Shi... Do you think that you are innocent if you get Zhi Shi? You can feel at ease if you get Zhi Shi? What's the use of Zhi Shi? This memorandum , I will submit it to Your Majesty immediately, and you should know what will happen after Your Majesty sees this memorial? You are worried about your humiliation! You have to find a way, and you have to find a way. If you don’t solve the current problem, you will go back to your hometown Sun, do you want to take care of your life? Negative pictures, you should grow up a little bit, you are a minister, not those officials and censors, not Liu Ke’s scientific way, what can you do if you say these useless words? What is the solution? If you come up with a solution, you will be the minister of the Ministry of War after all..."

Xie Qian and Li Dongyang understood it.

They also never imagined that the voyage to the West, where all the plans were originally planned, would have such a big mess at this time.

Many civilians have already begun to confiscate, and the timber of many large ships has also begun to be harvested and treated with antiseptic treatment. The Ministry of Households has allocated countless money and food!

As a result, your Ministry of War told everyone that there is no navigation route now, and all the information, customs and customs along the way, and all hydrological data are clueless.

The impatient Xie Qian wanted to find a knife to chop Ma Wensheng.

Xie Qian said angrily: "Didn't the Ministry of War swear by it at the beginning? Negative pictures, don't be kidding, Nanzhili, Fujian Chengxuan, and Zhejiang and Guangdong have conscripted hundreds of thousands of people to practice, build ships, and log; There is also the money and food from the Ministry of Households, which has been distributed, and it is a lot of money, and now it is hard to collect, this is the money and food that we have saved from between our teeth on weekdays."

How could Ma Wensheng not know the seriousness of the problem? He bit his lip and trembled.

A person who has reached his level has experience. At the beginning, Ma Wensheng managed Ma Zheng, but he personally restrained those Qiuba in the border town. Such a person, now at this point, knows that the seriousness of the problem has completely surpassed him. He couldn't bear this responsibility beyond his imagination.

But at this moment...

"Yes!" Ma Wensheng said suddenly.

"What?" Liu Jian and others glared at Ma Wensheng.

Ma Wensheng actually wanted to cry, even...he wanted to die.

When he got to this point, he really wanted to die.

He took a deep breath, and said: "Masters, have you forgotten? There is another fleet sailing to the west, Fang Jifan's disciple...Xu Jing!"

"..."

Xie Qian had already started to search around, looking for a weapon that was handy.

"Ma Wensheng, Ma Wensheng, you are really ashamed of the court. What did you say at the beginning, you said that people like Xu Jing were just messing around, did you say that? It was you at the beginning... You kept saying that Xu Jing was a Hanlin concubine Jishi, just go to a few broken ships, and it won't be long before we return in a dingy state

Yes, you still said... that's all, let's not talk about this! Well, now you actually want to bet the entire Ming Dynasty, hundreds of thousands of manpower, countless money and food, and this national power on a mere nobleman and a few broken ships..."

"I..." Ma Wensheng was speechless, as if he had picked up a big rock and smashed himself in the foot.

But it seems that this is his last hope, otherwise... he, Minister of the Ministry of War, has really become a heinous sinner.

Liu Jian was already lying on the chair, panting heavily, too lazy to speak.

But at this time, an eunuch hurriedly came from outside and said, "Where are Liu Gong, Xie Gong, and Li Gong... Your Majesty has an order to call you to the Nuan Pavilion to have an audience."

Liu Jian was taken aback, but now he was not interested in anything, sighed, and said weakly: "It's time to see His Majesty, let's go, go and see."

He struggled to stand up, then glanced at Ma Wensheng who was lying on the ground, shook his head and said, "Let His Majesty adjudicate, Negative Figure, you can also enter the palace with us."

Ma Wensheng stood up in silence, he had already prepared for the worst.

………………

In the warm pavilion like spring, Emperor Hongzhi was staring at Zhu Houzhao. In fact, this gesture had been maintained for a long time.

Zhu Houzhao was very courageous today, and he stared at Emperor Hongzhi in the same way.

Fang Jifan's eyes were a little erratic. In fact, he was swaying in his heart. He looked at Emperor Hongzhi and Zhu Houzhao, and finally decided not to get involved in their affairs.

After much difficulty, Liu Jian and others finally arrived.

The faces of Liu Jian and the others were livid. At first glance, they were in a very bad condition. Emperor Hongzhi also saw Ma Wensheng, and he couldn't help being slightly taken aback: "Why is Ma Qing's family here?"

Ma Wensheng bowed down, gritted his teeth and said, "I will die."

Emperor Hongzhi looked puzzled and looked at Liu Jian.

Liu Jian said: "Quanzhou... There is a report, please read it first, Your Majesty."

Emperor Hongzhi was rushing to read Zhu Houzhao's documents, but when he saw the seriousness of the situation shown by Liu Jian and others, he said decisively: "I'll take a look."

The memorial was in the hands of Emperor Hongzhi. Emperor Hongzhi opened it, glanced at it, and then fell silent.

Emperor Hongzhi's complexion was obviously not good. After a while, he suddenly looked at Fang Jifan and said, "Fang Jifan."

"The minister is here." Fang Jifan was at a loss.

Emperor Hongzhi said seriously, "Not only are you a crow's mouth, but even your disciple Xu Jing is also a crow's mouth."

What?

Fang Jifan was even more puzzled, and couldn't help but said: "Your Majesty, although Xu Jing, my disciple, is unbearable, among the disciples of my minister, he is far inferior to me in terms of ability and morality, but Your Majesty...why blame him?" Him? He's still...or..."

Fang Jifan wanted to say that he was still a child, but when he thought about it carefully, no, this guy is thirty years old, he can almost be his own father, and he is a child.

Therefore, Fang Jifan quickly changed his words: "He has just entered the official career, I don't know what happened, please Your Majesty..."

Emperor Hongzhi closed his eyes in pain, and said in his mouth: "What else can happen, the fleet of the Ministry of War is destroyed. You and Xu Jing are both right. The charts and documents left by the Sanbao eunuch have many mistakes. It has no effect! Regarding the voyage to the West, I have issued 23 imperial decrees in a row, ordering each to announce the envoys to recruit civilian husbands, ordering the Ministry of Households to allocate money and food, and ordering the Ministry of War to transfer the backbone of the guards to practice, and ordering people in Quanzhou and Guangzhou A port was built in the area, and now..."

Emperor Hongzhi shook his head, a look of powerlessness appeared on his face, as if he had aged a few years all of a sudden.

The consequences were dire.

The money was spent, but you told me that after entering the sea, the Ming fleet would be blind and deaf, unable to tell the difference between east, west, north and south, not to mention searching for the legendary country, even a sailing line, or even a basic None of the sailing experience.

"I...should I say that you and Xu Jing are as good as gods, or should I say that you two can't spit ivory out of your mouth?"

Fang Jifan thought for a while and said, "I hope it's the former."

In fact, Fang Jifan was shocked by the annihilation of the entire fleet of the Ministry of War.

He didn't expect the consequences to be so serious.

He believed that there were problems with the route and hydrology left by the Sanbao eunuch, because he believed in Xu Jing, no matter how scumbag Xu Jing was, he was also his disciple, and he knew him well. Apart from his poor moral character, he loves flowers Being provocative, his knowledge is a bit lacking, in fact... he can almost be called a qualified student.

But even if he chose to trust Xu Jing, what he never expected was that the Ministry of War's navigation data would be so wrong to such an outrageous point.

The fleet was destroyed not long after it went to sea, what a pitfall.
