Wild horses are like whales, men are like dragons.
Zhang Fu, whose upper body was covered with bloodstains, climbed directly onto the wild horse without using any saddle. Then, in the racecourse, the wild horse, unwilling to be controlled by others, jumped up and down like a whale out of the sea.
Zhang Fu was like a lonely boat in the storm, swaying messily with the ups and downs of the horse's back. But his hands still tightly grasped the wild mane of the wild horse.
Lulululu, the wild horse continued to exert force unwillingly, jumping and twisting its body. It must drop the uninvited guest on its back, and then step on it a few more times.
Outside the racecourse, everyone was watching this thrilling scene.
Zhu Yunxi was dressed in hunting attire, and pointed at the horse farm with the whip in his hand, "You have all been under Gu's command for a long time. In your heart, you are slightly dissatisfied because Gu loves Zhang Fu, right?"
After the words fell, the guards could not help but wonder.
Zhang Funa was born in the Yan vassal. He was neither a member of the Suwei in the capital nor a member of the Ming Dynasty noble group. Therefore, it was inevitable that he would be ostracized in private in the East Palace.
Law, law, law!
In the racecourse, the situation suddenly changed. The seemingly tired wild horse suddenly jumped up with its front hooves and then jumped up high with its hind hooves. After two trips down the mountain, Zhang Fu, who was like a boat in the storm, was thrown off the horse.
!
The Liaodong wild horse is the king of horses, with a violent personality no less than that of the wild beasts in the mountains. The rider on its back has been thrown off, it is breathing hot air, and tramples the figure on the ground directly with its hind hooves.
"Be careful!" everyone exclaimed in unison.
Just when the wild horse's hind hooves stepped on his body, Zhang Fu, who fell to the ground, nimbly twisted around to avoid it like a loach.
Then, a loach transformed into a dragon.
Zhang Fu directly hugged the horse's head, tripped one foot under the horse's leg, and said, "Down!"
After a loud shout, the wild horse screamed and struggled. In the flying dust, Zhang Fu hugged him and threw him down.
"Don't you prefer Zhang Fu!"
Outside the racecourse, Zhu Yunxi spoke again and said loudly, "Guai is one of all the good-blooded men in the world! He is a good man with real abilities!"
"This world is not only the world of Gu, but also the world of the men of the Ming Dynasty. The world is vast, and we should constantly strive to strengthen ourselves in order to shake the prestige of the Ming Dynasty!"
"Here!" the guards replied loudly.
After waiting for a while, Zhang Fu, who was covered in blood and sweat and exhausted, knelt down again and said, "My lord, you have fulfilled your mission!"
Zhu Yunxi looked over there, he had become docile, panting heavily, and let the horseman saddle the wild horse. He smiled slightly and said, "Wen Bi's bravery is indeed the best among the three armies!" As he said, his tone became slightly heavier, "However,
To become a general, you cannot rely solely on the bravery of an ordinary man!"
Zhang Fu suddenly raised his head with complicated eyes.
"It's good to be by your side. Those who are close to water and towers get the moon first. But it's not good to be by your side. You have to tie your hands and follow the steps!" Zhu Yunxi said with a smile, "If you are a general, you need a stage. The Duke of Yunnan and Guizhou reported that the barbarians in the border areas have been a little bit crazy lately.
If it is not stable, we must deploy troops to clear it up."
"Go ahead!" Zhu Yunxi continued, "Go and become a general under Muchun. Don't embarrass me! When you really become a general, you can be transferred back to me."
After saying that, he patted Zhang Fu on the shoulder and left with a smile.
Zhang Fu was stunned on the ground. He never expected that the matter would end up like this.
"What are you thinking about? Why don't you thank me quickly!" Fu Rang reminded loudly beside him.
Only then did Zhang Fu wake up and shouted to Zhu Yunxi's back, "I thank you, Your Highness, for your kindness. I will definitely make a difference on the frontier!"
Even though the imperial guard of the Ming Dynasty had a distinguished status, as a warrior, who didn't want to make meritorious deeds on the frontier, who didn't want to personally lead the troops, and who wanted to stay in the gentle and wealthy countryside of the capital.
"Brother Fu!" Zhu Yunxi walked away. Zhang Fu stood up and said to Fu Rang, "Thank you very much this time!"
"No need to thank me!" Fu Rang laughed loudly, "If you want to thank me, who do you want to thank!"
"Who is it?" Zhang Fu looked puzzled.
I saw the emperor's grandson, who was already far away, looking back slightly as he mounted his horse.
~~
The emperor's grandson had a decree, and the Fifth Army Governor's Office and the Ministry of War immediately issued approval documents. Zhang Fu served as a general in Yunnan and served under the government of Qian State in Yunnan.
When someone leaves, someone comes. A heavy rain suddenly comes, making the capital a little more refreshing in early summer.
In the reception pavilion outside the capital, Xie Jin couldn't help but crane his neck and look out, his anxiety palpable.
"coming!"
Someone on the side exclaimed, and Xie Jin hurriedly rushed out of the official pavilion, looking at the official road ahead in the rain and watching the people coming on the official road.
"Old Iron!" Xie Jin waved his arms and shouted loudly.
A group of carriages moved forward slowly on the official road. A half-smiling face appeared in the carriage. After seeing Xie Jin, this face that seemed unable to smile also showed a bit of smile.
"Old man, why did you come back just now? I've been waiting for you for several days!"
The carriage stopped, Xie Jin strode forward and asked with a smile.
Tie Xuan came out of the carriage and smiled slightly, "In the rainy season in the south of the Yangtze River, the road is difficult, so it is a little slower!"
The two have been separated for two years. At first, they were both the generals of the King of Wu. Now, one is the historian of the Hanlin Academy and has a bright future. The other is helping with military affairs in Fuzhou and is already becoming more and more successful in both civil and military affairs. Calm.
"Let's go have a drink!" Xie Jin said with a smile, "I'll give you a good chance today!"
"No!" Tie Xuan shook his head and said, "Let's meet His Highness first!"
Xie Jin smiled bitterly and said, "Your Highness has no time today. He is arguing with the Fifth Army Governor's Mansion and the Ministry of War!"
"How do you say this?" Tie Xuan asked curiously.
"Talking as we walk!" Jie Jin pulled Tie Xuan and said, regardless of the rain on his head, "Gong Xin Guo has also come to Beijing. He is old and needs to be raised. Who will take care of Jing Haijun? Now Korea is the Ming Dynasty. All the supplies traveling from south to north are transported by sea, so the Jing Navy becomes a hot commodity!"
The Commander-in-Chief of the Fifth Army and the Ministry of War have taken a fancy to him and told His Highness that they would select good generals to lead him."
It's more than just sweet cakes, because Zhu Yunxi gave those nobles the exclusive right to sell various supplies in Goryeo. Now the Jing navy stationed in Shuzhou has become a hot commodity.
When doing business, just like fighting, the most important thing is that the road must be smooth. Seeing that the nobles of the old school are benefiting, if the Ministry of War can feel at ease, even though it is suppressed by the Fifth Army Governor's Office, it must jump out and gain some benefits for itself.
Tie Xuan pondered deeply and said slowly, "Your Highness will definitely not agree. The purpose of appeasing the navy is for the Ming Dynasty's maritime territory. Your Highness has high hopes for this. I'm afraid that His Highness will not agree to the candidates proposed by both parties!"
"Your Highness wants to build a ship!" Xie Jin lowered his voice and said, "Build a big ship, saying that it should be able to sail tens of thousands and carry thousands of people, darling! The Ministry of War and the Commander-in-Chief of the Fifth Army were frightened. There are ships on the sea. Just a few will be enough, why bother throwing money away?"
"The order sent by Suzhou Shipyard is for a warship equipped with 18 guns, which can feed more than 30,000 people for two years and still make them rich! Isn't this throwing money into the water?"
"Besides, there are no Japanese pirates or pirates now. Why do we launch so many ships?"
Jie Jin rambled while Tie Xuan listened carefully.
The two changed into another carriage and entered the city slowly. Tie Xuan said seriously in the carriage, "There are only you and me here. Let me tell you, the Japanese pirates have not been eliminated, but because we are paying attention to it at this time, we dare not
Just come again!"
"The emperor's grandson built the navy not just for Japanese pirates. In the past few years, I have been involved in political and military affairs in Fuzhou, and the bustling seaport of Quanzhou in Fuzhou. People who have never been there can't even imagine it!"
"Only when I got there did I realize why we, the Ming Dynasty, are called the Kingdom of Heaven. Why, our country, China, has been said to be rich in products and have everything from our ancestors!"
Jie Jin pouted, "Is it that good?"
"Do you know how much the Fuzhou Tax Department's annual business volume was last year?" Tie Xuan said with a smile.
"Tell me about it!" Xie Jin was very interested.
Tie Xuan said with a straight face, "No, no, only the emperor's grandson and a few people in the household department know about this kind of thing!"
Xie Jin snorted, "You're a stupid person, you know how to sell it!"
Tie Xuan looked out the car window and saw some familiar but also unfamiliar street scenes. "The capital has also changed a lot. There is almost no open space on the docks by the river. They are all warehouses for storing goods!" After that, he asked again, "Xiaojie."
