Chapter 2832 Prepare for a Rainy Day
Although Fang Yize was usually a bit dandy, he was not uneducated and had a smart personality. He knew a lot about family affairs. Occasionally, he would be ordered to do some affairs by Princess Gaoyang or Wu Meiniang, and his performance was very good.
Now I was shocked when I heard that the second brother I had always admired and respected the most actually said that they were going to Japan to manage a base as a last resort in the future...
Although Fang Jun explained that this was just a precautionary measure and would not necessarily be used in practice, he did not dare to slack off at all. He nodded heavily and said: "Second brother, don't worry. Although I am naughty, I am not ignorant. I can still distinguish priorities." Get clear Yes. Since the second brother trusts the younger brother, the younger brother will naturally have no problem with it. I have always been under the protection of my father and brother since I was a child, and I only want to play and play without seeking to make progress. But after all, I am a member of the family and I should take responsibility and move forward bravely. ”
Fang Jun was greatly relieved.
A good man never depends on how ridiculous and naughty he is. As long as he can shoulder the heavy burden at critical moments, he is worthy of his seven-foot body.
In fact, a family like the Fang family does have the basis for the second son of the family to indulge a little. As long as there is an opportunity and conditions, who is not willing to live a life as he pleases?
It is even more valuable that the prodigal son can't exchange for gold.
After a pause, Fang Yi was a little embarrassed and hesitated: "It's just... what about the Zhang family's marriage?"
Fang Jun glanced at him, lowered his face, and said slowly: "Brother Wei and Song Guogong personally came to propose marriage and promised extremely generous benefits. The Zhang family would definitely not refuse. After the New Year, the Zhang family sent a reply. Take some time to tell that Zhang Jiagui Just don't blame your brother for being troublesome. It's okay to take a concubine. But if you neglect your wife because of this, or even do something stupid like doting on your concubine and killing your wife, don't blame your brother for breaking your legs. .”
Fang Yi was most afraid of this elder brother. He was so frightened that he hurriedly said: "Brother, don't worry. Is my younger brother such a cold-hearted person? He must love his wife and keep the family harmonious. He will not let his father and brother worry about it."
As the saying goes, one who is close to vermillion is red, and one who is close to ink is dark. With an elder brother like Fang Jun in front of him, how could he not learn from it?
There are countless nobles in the city of Chang'an, and it is common to have three wives and four concubines, but which family does not cause conflicts among wives and concubines, and constant fights in the house? But only on his brother's side, the head wife is an extremely noble princess of the dynasty, and the concubines are all of extraordinary origins and outstanding abilities, but they are able to live in harmony inside and outside. This has long become a legend in Chang'an City. There are so many envious admirers.
With such an elder brother around, Fang Yize, no matter how heartless he is, has learned a few skills in handling the relationship between wives and concubines, and also knows how important family harmony is...

After noon, Fang Jun changed into a set of clothes, wore a helmet, a sword, and a sword at his waist. He led a group of soldiers on horseback and swaggered through the city. He left the city from Jinguang Gate and went straight to the Youtunwei camp in the north of Xuanwu Gate. .
The sky was covered with clouds and the cold wind was howling. All the snow on the campus of the camp had been cleared and piled in the surrounding open space. Groups of soldiers were braving the cold wind to practice. The shouts of killing shook the surrounding areas, and morale was high.
Gao Kan welcomed Fang Jun into the Chinese military tent. When he saw Fang Jun taking off his helmet and throwing it on the table aside, his first words when he sat down were: "We will formulate an emergency training plan and start training the entire army after the year." , Arrays, assassinations, marches, firearms, etc. must be taken into consideration, and the amount of training must be at least doubled to ensure that whenever they go into battle, they can show the best morale, fight when they are ready, and win the battle. "
Gao Kan walked over and put the helmet plates in place. Wen Yan was stunned for a moment, and then said excitedly: "Are we also going to go on an expedition with His Majesty?"
Fang Jun glared at him angrily: "What are you thinking! Do you think you didn't get enough military merit in the Mobei battle? If we continue to follow His Majesty in the Eastern Expedition, believe it or not, those nobles will pounce on us and bite us to death!" ”
Both the government and the public have already regarded the Eastern Expedition as the last large-scale war in the next twenty years. Other than that, it is difficult for any decent war to break out. For me, this is an opportunity that I absolutely cannot give up.
But after all, Goguryeo's power was limited. According to everyone's optimistic assessment, the empire mobilized no less than 500,000 troops for this Eastern Expedition, and they were equipped with new types of firearms. Their combat power was enough to crush the Goguryeo army. It would not take more than six soldiers at most. The battle will be over in seven months.
If the war goes smoothly, or even if it is pushed through with overwhelming force, many armies will never get a serious chance to go into battle.
As a result, the enthusiasm for war is naturally high. Who doesn't want to gain military merit in a war that must be won? As the main force in the destruction of Xue Yantuo, Youtunwei has experienced a huge military merit distribution from top to bottom. Many middle-level officers have even been promoted several levels and have long been envied by all armies. If they were involved in the Eastern Expedition, That is simply taking food from others.
You are already full, but you still have to snatch food from the mouth of Pao Ze who is waiting for food. Who can bear it?
Therefore, Youtunwei can only be stationed in the capital and has no chance of setting foot on the battlefield of the Eastern Expedition.
Seeing that Gao Kan was obviously disappointed, Fang Jun warned: "Don't think that you can gain merit only by setting foot on the battlefield of Liaodong. Your Majesty will lead the expedition personally and leave the prince to supervise the country. The safety of the important places in the capital is equally important. When the army marches eastward, the entire close The military strength of the general will be empty, and there is no guarantee that no one will take risks. As long as the capital is safe and His Majesty has no worries, this is a great achievement, and it may not be less than the merits gained by going to Liaodong. "
"Here!"
Gao Kan quickly agreed. He most admired his commander-in-chief's prediction of the situation. Wen Yan couldn't help but rub his palms together and said excitedly: "What does the commander-in-chief mean, is there anyone who will have a disobedient heart?"
"Fart! Can you say these words casually? As soldiers, we should protect our country and fulfill our duties. If we go to the battlefield, we will naturally move forward bravely. If we stay to defend the capital, we should do our best with enthusiasm!"
"If you finally realize your mistake, please ask the commander to punish you!"
"Concentrate on training your soldiers and think less about those things that you have and don't have. Is that something you can worry about?"
After scolding, Fang Jun stood up and came to the window. He looked at the increasingly gloomy sky outside the window. He looked across the school grounds and saw the tall watchtower of Zuo Tunwei in the distance. He said to Gao Kan: "If you are with Zuo Tunwei at this moment, In a real fight with swords and guns, what are our chances of winning?”
Gao Kan thought for a while and said firmly: "At least 70%! Of course, this is just a safe statement. If we really fight to the death and the general dares to issue a military order in front of the commander, we will win without a doubt!"
Fang Jun nodded. He naturally had strong confidence in this powerful team that he had put countless efforts into, but he could not stop there.
"How long will it take to completely defeat it?"
"If it's just a defeat and a sudden attack, one hour is enough." Gao Kan said proudly.
Fang Jun's eyes moved to the towering Xuanwu Gate Tower in the south. He made some calculations in his mind and shook his head: "It takes too long. Can it be done in half an hour?"
Gao Kan looked confused and said hesitantly: "This... I'm not completely sure."
I thought that although the Zuo Tun Guards were not as powerful as our elites, they were still the main force among the Bei Ya Forbidden Army. They would be defeated in half an hour. Do you really think that they were just freeloaders?
Moreover, in a real confrontation, the battle situation changes rapidly. The two armies have a total of nearly 60, 70,000 people. The resulting situation is simply uncontrollable. Who can say how long it will take to win the civil war?
Fang Jun looked deeply at the Xuanwu Gate Tower under the clouds in the distance, and said solemnly: "The training plan for the future will be to use the Zuotun Guard as the imaginary enemy to ensure that it will be defeated in the shortest time and completely lose its combat effectiveness. ”
Gao Kan thought to himself that even if you have always been at odds with Chai Lingwu, the general of Zuotunwei, there is no need to treat him as an imaginary enemy so arrogantly, right?
But when he raised his head and looked in the direction of Fang Jun's eyes, his heart jumped suddenly and he said in a voiceless voice: "Commander..."
As the main force of the Beiya Imperial Guards, the left and right guards were stationed to the north of Xuanwu Gate. There was also a "Baiqisi" station in the middle, which jointly guarded Xuanwu Gate, the key to the north gate of the palace.
If the Right Guards can quickly defeat the Left Guards, they will be able to completely control the important place of Xuanwu Gate. As for the "Hundred Cavalry Division", although they are all the elites among the elites, each one is as good as ten, but it is difficult to use their elite troops in the battle formation. The advantage is almost negligible under the full attack of the Youtun Guards.
And now the Right Tun Guard actually takes the defeat of the Zuo Tun Guard as the training goal. Does his commander want to clear out the hostile forces outside the Xuanwu Gate at a certain moment and completely control the key to the palace?
Gao Kan was a descendant of the Bohai Gao family. Even though his family was in decline, he was still educated. Naturally, he knew the special strategic position of the Xuanwu Sect.
My heart suddenly felt cold...(End of Chapter)
