Giving advice

I don't know where this assassin came from, but he had such a courage to assassinate Xu Da's mansion. The target of the assassination was the King of Pingliao, who was currently popular in the emperor. In a few days, the news of Wu'anguo's assassination spread all over the streets and alleys of the capital. In the teahouse and restaurant, people in groups of three or three were inferred from the origin of the assassin as if they were seeing it with their own eyes. Some said it was from Mongolians, some said it was from Goryeo, and some said it was from Persian women who were abandoned by Wu'anguo and came to seek revenge thousands of miles. As for what clothes the assassin wore, what looks were arranged in Xu Da's mansion, how Wu'anguo defeated the assassin with bare hands, they all said it was a nose and eye-catching, as if he was the planner of the assassin. Poor, officials from Yingtian Prefecture and the Inspection Department had such a big case in Jingjin. If you were not careful, what would the emperor blame him? Come on, I'm afraid everyone will be searching the house and exiling them. But what made them feel a little relieved was that Zhu Yuanzhang did not order them to arrest the assassin within a specified period of time. Logically, if this happens, the city gate should be closed and searched for a few days. But Zhu Yuanzhang just gave a light command to handle the case carefully and stopped asking. General Xu, who swept the world, didn't seem to care much about this matter. Yingtian Prefecture Prefecture apologized at his mansion. When he tried his words, Xu Da stroked his beard and politely dealt with him for a few words, and asked someone to send him out, not wanting to pursue it anymore. The victim Wu Anguo is even more interesting. He either was in Tai* or in the Yan Palace. Even when he saw him, he had to say hello in advance. When he mentioned the assassin, he was like the one who assassinated him, and said generously, "If you can't catch it, I'm not injured anyway."

"Strange thing, it seems that everyone is not interested in assassins." Yingtian Prefecture thought in a depressed manner and slowly slacked off. He didn't know that although the black-clad assassin's sword did not stab Wu Anguo's shoulder, it touched the most vulnerable part in his heart, which caused ripples in his calm heart.

Who was the assassin? Why did he just stab himself on his shoulder? It seemed that he wanted to teach himself a lesson, rather than really wanting to hurt himself. Wu Anguo recalled the scene that night, and was puzzled. He shook his head and returned his thoughts to reality. At this moment, he was in Taizhan, helping Zhu Biao, Tang He, Cao Zhen and others to give advice. He has been away from Peking for almost two months. Wu'an deeply misses his almost carefree life in Huairou. Although he is the focus of everyone's attention, he always feels that there is no cold left at the height. He bows three times and nine times every day, which makes him sometimes wonder if he will knock his head stupid. But the situation in front of him, if he does not take out the entire strategy of Ping Liao and Ping Japanese, he will definitely not be able to escape.

Ping Liao is still easy to say. Zhu Di stayed in Huairou for so long and knew very well about new weapons and new team training. In addition, his good friend took the initiative to ask Zhu Yuanzhang to order Chang Mao and Xu Zengshou, who followed the army, were all people with deep military tactics. With their help to come up with ideas, many problems were solved. Wu Anguo took advantage of his experience in writing bids and construction plans at the design institute, and used Ping Liao's plan and the cooperation of various departments, favorable conditions, unfavorable factors, problems that need to be solved, the previous experience that can be learned from fighting outside the Great Wall, as well as possible situations and response strategies, plans The feasibility and risks that need to be taken were listed one by one. After analysis and supplementation by Zhu Di and others, Guo Pu's writing process was written into a nearly 60-page "Ping Liao Ce" and presented it to Zhu Yuanzhang. This unprecedented memorial made King Yan and others admire him before it was handed over. "The father would not refuse to report it, and no one could write such a policy of civil and military affairs in the court." Zhu Di was full of confidence in this, "It depends on when the "Jinghai Ce" of the prince's brother will be released. We can run to Peking and prepare to see the Goryeo people off."

At this time, the prince Zhu Biao was worried about the Jinghai strategy, so he forced Wu'anguo to recruit. The reorganization of the navy and expel Japanese pirates was not the most difficult. The veteran Tang and the water and land war were both experts. Fang Mingqian, the pirate family of Dinghai, was born in a pirate family. His father Fang Guozhen seized Qingyuan, Wen, Tai and other places when the heroes rose up at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, and was also called a prince. Fang Mingqian led the navy to fight Zhang Shicheng's army at the age of fourteen, burning more than a dozen Shicheng boats, and all the troops moved, and the nickname was "Jade-faced Little Overlord". Later, he was forced to do so.

Shi surrendered to Ming with his father, and was placed in the navy as a free job, and his muscles and bones could not be stretched out every day. He heard that Japanese pirates harassing the coast, and they were resentful. He once used the strategy of defying the Japanese to express his ambitions and kept them with the opportunity. This time Fang Mingqian was finally ordered to go out to sea. He was so excited that he was trapped in a dragon and entered the water. He was like a stinking smell with the two of the Thirteenth Lang Cao Zhen. He either put a plate on the table or driftwood chips in the pool to practice naval reconnaissance, artillery battles, sneak attacks, underwater restraints, and ship burning. He didn't even want to sleep every day.

"In the Yuan Dynasty, the ships were 900, mostly Cang ships (a small and medium-sized ancient warship), which sank when they encountered strong winds. But the 100,000 heroes actually lived on the ship at night, which was a waste of water. It was no wonder that they were defeated." Fang Mingqian discussed the water war. "If you want to fight against the Japanese, you must first change the ship. The water in the south of the Yangtze River is deep and clear. You should use a lucky ship. The pointed and pointed bottom is easy to break the waves. The water in the north of the Yangtze River is turbid, and there are many silted shallows. It is better to use a sand ship with a flat bottom and square head, which is not easy to get stuck. If the river channel fights, the best vehicles and ships are, as fast as they are to escape rabbits. This is a powerful tool to use to defeat the enemy. However, your cannons must also be changed. The cannons used in water war are mainly bombing ships, not bombing the city walls, and they do not need that great power, but the farther they hit, the better. What your apprentice said is not to touch and fight.

The law is the best, not as good as us, do you see if it is feasible." Fang Mingqian connected the two chopsticks on Shisanlang's plate and said, "Lengthen the cannon body and reduce the shells. It is best to hit the enemy ship to catch fire." He was looking forward to the storm on the sea, but he did not expect to notice the gaze of Shisanlang next to him as if he had discovered a treasure. "This is a near-shore defense. If I want to eradicate the Japanese pirates, I don't see that they will hit their doorstep and let them taste the plunder. The Japanese pirates will not disappear automatically. Such a great task, we can't take responsibility for the treasure ships that the merchants carry cargo are big and round, and the goods are loaded much, but they are as slow as turtles. They are not material for combat at all, so don't expect them to."

"Lao Fang, you should have had a good conversation with Brother Wu. He and your heroes have similar views." Shisanlang interrupted happily, 'Who said that I, the Ming Dynasty's navy, is no one? These people are not skilled, but the court does not seek maritime responsibilities, and the heroes are old.' When he got the opportunity, Shisanlang never stings with Zhu Yuanzhang. He looked up at the audience. At the dining table where he and Fang Mingqian set up, there were some naval generals who had been recruited by the prince Zhu Biao, and everyone was quietly waiting for their following.

"Look at this picture", Shisanlang took out the four-dimensional warship drawn by Wu Anguo based on his memory. "Brother Wu said that Westerners use this kind of sailing boat to be extremely adaptable to deep water and naval battles." That is the ship model in Wu Anguo's memory, the Carrak sailing ship (Spanish sailing ship).

"From the appearance, this ship is more suitable than a treasure ship, but in my opinion, it is also suitable for hand-to-hand combat near hand-to-hand combat, discomfort and artillery battles. The forecastle and stern tower are too high. If it encounters a headwind, it will be difficult to turn around. The specific characteristics depend on its internal structure and roar bones." A inferior military officer named Shao Yunfei walked up and said boldly. Shao Yunfei was the old subordinate of Fang Mingqian, whose courtesy name was Pengju, from Shaoxing. He turned out to be an apprentice in a shipbuilding. He was forced to be a pirate by the Mongols at the end of the Yuan Dynasty. He admired Yue Wumu in his life and often encouraged himself.

After surrendering to the Ming Dynasty, he was appointed as the county magistrate of Qiantang. He spent his days by drinking every day. One day, the Japanese pirates came by the tide. Everyone was shocked. Yun Fei threw himself into a pot and flew up on his horse. He called out, "It's a man who killed the thief and guarded the family." Everyone was moved by his words and followed him with weapons. Suddenly, the county magistrate Liu Binglong brought a few yamen runners and a hundred strong men to the shore. Everyone bent their bows and shot, shouting to "kill the thief". The thief was afraid, so he left. He was promoted to the magistrate of Songjiang Prefecture for his merits. This time, Fang Mingqian assisted the prince in pacifying the Japanese and encouraged the prince to pull him up.

"I don't know the internal structure. I don't know much about ships. Why don't we make some plans and find a shipbuilder to show you. What you said just now makes sense. Can you change it?" Wu Anguo encouraged him.

Shao Yunfei thought carefully and said, "I think that the ships of naval battles need to be coordinated in size, but if the two generals said they were going to war, the large ship was obviously better than the small ship. The Fu Ship of the Fort has a double-layer water compartment, which is very strong and can be explained. The Western ship said that the large ship in the West is good and stable. Moreover, this sail is lighter than the Fu Ship and the treasure ship, easy to disassemble, and easy to replace. From the sail, the ship travels faster with the wind. Although it is three main masts, it is faster than the five-mast and five-sail sand ship in the direction of ours.

.But it is very troublesome to turn against the wind. Once the enemy is around me, there is only a hit. It is better to lower the height of the bow and stern, especially the forecastle. If you use low side, horizontal, vertical sail, spinnaker and spinnaker, and the bow and cable-stay sail, it may be better. However, the hull is long and the keel is extremely demanding. I have never seen anyone in Songjiang Prefecture that can be built. And this shipbuilding wood may not be made by ordinary wood, and it requires more than fifty years of good Liuzhou wood."

"Let's take a look at Shanhaiwei. At the beginning of last year, Quanzhou people built a new dock in Shanhaiwei. It is said that it is very large. The purpose is to buy wood from Liaodong. If you build a ship, you can also directly load the goods from Peking. The wood from Liaodong is also very famous. I don't know whether it is suitable or not. Now I don't know if the dock is ready. When fighting, I forgot to ask," Wu'anguo suggested.

"It doesn't have to build such a big one," Liu Binglong interrupted. He was originally a civil servant and a Jinshi in the early years of Hongwu, but he liked to talk about martial arts. He was also one of the talents recommended by Fang Mingqian to Zhu Biao. "In normal times, Japanese pirates may not be head-on to us. Only large ships are the main force in the decisive battle. I see that Japanese pirates are harassing me along the coast. I might as well use the other way to control them, build small, fast but suitable for long-distance sailing ships, and also go to his house to harass them, so that they can also taste the taste of being robbed." He picked up chopsticks and dipped some wine, and drew on the table: "Shrink the ships transformed by General Shao by half or more, and change them to sails, and the speed will be faster. As the guard of the main ship or as a warship. If you go out alone, you will attack them, and the large gang of enemies will flee. There should be no problem in protecting yourself at sea."

"No, it's too easy to overturn when encountering strong winds, especially when it's going well," Shao Yunfei stopped him and said, "The sail is unstable, and the boat is small but not resistant to the wind. He lowered his head and thought about it again, "But if the sail is changed to a combination of horizontal and vertical lines, it may be a good boat. It's good to transport goods and fight. And the boat is small, so it's easy to find some wood for making keels, and the pine wood from Liaodong. Unfortunately, Liaodong is still in the hands of the Goryeo people..."

………….

Veteran Tang He also recommended many talents to the prince. As the heir to the future throne, Zhu Biao himself is very appealing and he is also known for his kindness. Mu Ying and Xu Huizu are both his friends, and Mu Ying has other tasks. Xu Huizu asked for help with Tang He. How to form and develop the navy soon became famous. The current navy has no problem as a escort and protection of key ports for merchant ships. The national treasury has no money, but the queen, harem concubines and some great masters who are good at following the dragon. The sponsorship given by the ministers was enough for Zhu Biao to deal with the first customs tax treasury. As long as you find a suitable ship and build the first batch of gunboats, your life will be getting better and better. Fang Mingqian, Shao Yunfei and Liu Binglong promised that if they acted as pioneers, they would definitely allow the navy to spend endless money. The prince knew that they wanted to return to their old business and targeted the maritime trade between Japan and the Goryeo. Xiaoxiao agreed. The agreement was not allowed to be under the banner of the Ming Dynasty, not to rob the merchant ships of the country, and not to kill people randomly.

"Don't worry, Your Highness, we won't kill chickens and marry eggs. There are rules for being pirates. Those Japanese pirates are too blind." Fang Mingqian grinned and said, "If someone dies on a route, who dares to take the risk of making money? You must come a little bit and eat after you fatten up." The greedy gaze made people feel that he was simply a robber head who was sitting on the ground to share the spoils.

But it is difficult to establish a customs. Everyone doesn't know what the customs is. Wu'anguo is the one who knows the most about customs among everyone, but apart from how to write the word "customs", there is no more. Only two major principles can be provided. One is to restrict the import and export of some goods, such as grain and gold. The second is that customs duties should not be too heavy, and other states and prefectures shall not charge various toll fees for goods that have been stamped with customs duties. The first is that it has been explained to the prince before, and the second is that the prince himself understands, "This is similar to General Fang and others as pirates, so they have to leave some to be fattened before slaughtering," Zhu Biao said humorously.

Humor is humorous, and the choice of customs ambassadors is now the biggest problem. The Jinshi juren of the Ming Dynasty went through the back door to follow the prince, but they were all rejected by Shisanlang. "These sour dittos who were studying hard are not even aware of the numbers. They were ambassadors and they still paid for their pants." His image metaphor made everyone laugh so hard that they couldn't count them. Although everyone himself didn't know much about it.

What should I do? After a long time of discussion, everyone decided to ask Wu Anguo to write a book to the Peking Academy. Those who were proficient in mathematics and had excellent character and academic performance were selected from the students of Huairou Yixue. At the same time, they ordered the state and prefectures to recommend scholars who were familiar with calculations, with no age or background. When Wu Anguo proposed that most of the customs talents were from the Peking Academy, which may have a bad impact, the prince fully reflected his own advantages. "What's wrong with it? He only has talent. Teacher Song Lian said that the ancients said that the external dictatorship did not avoid revenge, the internal dictatorship did not avoid relatives, and the military general was over-concerned. The talents recommended by these ministers should not be wasted, and they were asked to go to the Peking Academy to learn how to settle accounts and learn to listen to them before coming to the account." He pointed to the list of customs ambassadors recommended by the ministers.

Now Peking Academy has become a customs cadre school. Wu Anguo thought with a smile. He himself did not expect the prince to have such a way of thinking. What if he doesn’t care. Anyway, the more students graduated from the academy, the more seeds he sows. Many times, I may not be able to control where the world is heading.

The "Jinghaice" by Prince Zhu Biao was sent to Zhu Yuanzhang's Dragon Case three days later than the "Pingliamentary Ce" by King Zhu Di of Yan. On the morning of the same day, the Secretariat reported that Kaifeng Prefecture was cold this spring, and it was afraid that the spring grain would be harvested without harvest. Zhu Yuanzhang ordered the department to provide relief and allocate funds from the treasury to buy seeds to help the people replant summer grain. When the ministers saw that the emperor was unhappy, they did not have much trouble. They left the court early and had nothing to do. When they came, Xuanwu's Anguo Imperial Study was alone.

Everyone is used to the newly-entered Marquis Wu being summoned alone. Not long after each summoning, someone will definitely be promoted. This Wu'anguo always seems to bring good luck to people. With an envious look, Wu'anguo walked towards the inner hall, feeling a little uneasy. Today, he always felt something was wrong. When the old fox Li Shanchang walked past him just now, he coughed gently. This old old guy who couldn't wake up didn't know what medicine he bought. It seems that he should be more careful today. Wu'anguo thought alertly.

When he arrived at the imperial study room, he gave the rituals of the monarch and his subjects again, and Wu'anguo's doubts deepened. Zhu Yuanzhang did not give him a seat as before, but looked quietly at the map on the wall with his hands behind his back. There was a feeling of depression spreading away with the monarch and his subjects as the center, which scared the little eunuch tiptoed when he walked.

"There are a few memorials on the desk, General Wu can take a look at it yourself." Zhu Yuanzhang did not look back and stared at the position in Henan, with a very melancholy expression. "The officials have risen and I have not gotten up, and I have not gotten asleep. I am not as good as the rich man from Jiangnan, who can still hold a big quilt in the sky tomorrow." Thinking of the poem written by Emperor Hongwu in the joke, Wu Anguo felt that this emperor was also a little pitiful and had to ask about everything, but with the strength of one person, how could he manage the whole world well?

He picked up the memorial placed on the corner of the table, slowly turned one, his face gradually turned pale, and a hint of angry blue. The name of the memorial was sealed, which was a secret book. Although he didn't understand classical Chinese very much, he still understood this memorial today because it clearly stated that "The grass man Wu Anguo said that he had killed the white tiger and killed the green dragon, and was a demonic saying that he had harmed the people. He also colluded with the government for a lot of money to buy the post of the classics and history. I investigated it privately, and this person has no parents and wife, and his origin is unknown. I am afraid he is a spy in Mongolia. Please check it carefully and make a decision to eliminate it to avoid future troubles..."

The second memorial is still a secret book, saying that he opened a mine, set up a factory, disrupted the farming season, and made fish and people.

When Wu Anguo opened the third memorial, he was too lazy to see who wrote it. The shameless rumor-monger would not write his name in an open and upright place, which is like this in ancient and modern times. This memorial was nothing new, but it was said that he had privately run charity schools, disrupting education, and privately building firearms and making misconduct, which was a crime of beheading.

The fourth and fifth, one after another, accusations followed. The incident happened suddenly, without any signs or preparations. The more he looked, the more he became more shocked, and the more he looked, the more angry he became. The most powerful thing was that someone found out which industries had been related to him and sold them at a low price.

I sighed, no longer had to look at it anymore. I raised my head and looked at Zhu Yuanzhang's back silently. I guess Zhu Yuanzhang had sent someone to check his every move. That day, the man in black must be the Jinyiwei written in the novel. No wonder no one was seriously pursuing it. It's just a pity...

"Anyway, I have died once in this world. What's the point of being afraid of? I just hope you have good luck and can escape this disaster." After a burst of sadness, he was no longer sad. A strong light flashed in his eyes, like a painting of the country, and he could see it all.
