"Is it related to Ming Dynasty's life or death?"
Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly exuded a fierce murderous aura, stared at Zheng Sen with sword-like eyes, and said every word authentically.
As his words sounded, the air in the hall seemed to freeze.
Not only the three Zheng Sens, but also Jin Xuan, Tian Shuying and others who knew the inside story were also breathless.
Especially Jin Xuan, according to the original plan, he should dissuade him in time and take the opportunity to win over Zheng Sen and others so that they can be used by him when he attacks Pidao in the future.
But now, he was actually a little unsure whether Zhu Yuanzhang was just putting on a show or really wanted to punish Zheng Sen and others.
"Yes, this matter is indeed related to Ming Dynasty's life and death."
In the deathly silent hall, Zheng Sen's voice cut through the silence like a mad sword, making everyone present breathe a sigh of relief.
But after Zheng Sen finished saying this, he felt even more uncomfortable. He felt as if his body had been hollowed out, and he was even more tired than having fought several naval battles in a row.
Just because he had a strong nature and never refused to admit defeat, he endured it, but he was still breathing heavily because of the great pressure.
When Zhu Yuanzhang saw this, he sneered and shouted in a deep voice: "Thief Li has been forced to retreat to Shanxi by us. It is only a matter of time before we defeat him. We really want to hear what you are talking about about the life and death of the Ming Dynasty?"
Zheng Sen had no idea at all, but because he was worried that Zhang and Xia would be punished, he adopted the military strategist's method of taking the lead.
Hearing this, he told Zhang Huangyan about the Pidao incident he had just discussed.
Zhu Yuanzhang had previously seen Zheng Sen and Zhang and Xia seem to have a good relationship under the boat. He originally wanted to use this to force Zheng Sen to take the initiative to challenge.
At this moment, I saw that although he did not ask for a fight, he said a way to solve the land annexation. While admiring him, I couldn't help but feel worried.
Because the Ming Dynasty is now divided into pieces, but the Zheng family not only has strong soldiers and horses, but also dominates Fujian, Taiwan, and has many strongholds overseas.
If there is another person with extraordinary resourcefulness, I am afraid that the Zheng family will not be able to stay under others for a long time, and Jiangnan may not be owned by the Ming Dynasty.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but reveal a murderous look in his eyes.
"Your Majesty, what Zheng Sen said is nothing more than hearsay and wisdom. Please forgive him for his arrogance!"
At this time, Zhang Huangyan on the side suddenly spoke.
When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he glanced at Zhang Huangyan in surprise, then looked at Zheng Sen and said, "Is what Zhang Huangyan said true?"
Although Zheng Sen did not understand the intention of Zhang Huang's words, he was also a magnanimous person and immediately replied: "Your Majesty, this method is indeed not what Zheng Sen thought. I heard it from Changsha Supervisor Du Yinxi when I was in Nanjing. .”
"Du Yinxi?"
Zhu Yuanzhang thought for a while and found no relevant information in Chongzhen's memory. After writing down the name, he looked at Zheng Sen and said: "The land issue has been around for a long time and has been the case in all dynasties. You are too alarmist!"
"Your Majesty, this matter..."
"Your Majesty, your Majesty, this matter is indeed not enough to shake the foundation of the Ming Dynasty. It is indeed that Zheng Sen was too reckless. However, now that the rebels are raging and the Jurchens are ready to take action, the common people are waiting for help. They are willing to attack Pi Island on your behalf to atone for their sins. I also ask for your permission. .”
After Zhang Huangyan interrupted Zheng Sen's words, he said it in one breath.
Zhu Yuanzhang heard this and shouted: "What an ignorant boy, you know where Pi Island is, how dare you say such arrogant words?"
Zhang Huangyan kowtowed and said: "Although the common people know little about Pidao, they don't want to break the law and die and bring shame to their ancestors."
"Therefore, I would like to ask for an order to kill the enemy. Even if I cannot succeed, I am still willing to spill my blood on the island. I hope your majesty will fulfill my wish."
When Zheng and Xia heard this, they also hurriedly agreed: "Your Majesty, the common people are also willing to spill their blood on Pi Dao, and hope that your Majesty will do it!"
When Zhu Yuanzhang saw this, he did not express his position, but kept looking at them.
At this time, Jin Xuan stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, although the three of them broke the law, they are also loyal."
"Since they are willing to fight to forgive their sins, Your Majesty might as well be lenient and give them a chance to atone for their sins."
Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at Jin Xuan, shook his head and said: "Mr. An Guo, fighting is not a child's play. You see, the three of them are still young, how can they take on such an important task?"
Hearing this, Zheng Sen was about to speak when he saw Zhang Huangyan quietly waving his hand.
Then I heard Jin Xuan's voice saying: "Your Majesty, your ambition does not depend on your age. I think they are all loyal and brave men. If your Majesty allows it, I am willing to go with them."
Zhu Yuanzhang shook his head and said: "Pi Island is easy to defend but difficult to attack. It is not as easy as they said. They knew they would die, so they made such arrogant remarks. You are our loyal minister, how can you go with them?"
Jin Xuan pretended to argue for a few words, but Zhu Yuanzhang refused.
Finally, he looked at Zheng Sen and others helplessly, and slowly retreated.
Seeing this, Zheng Sen kowtowed again and said: "Your Majesty, the common people have been in the army and are quite familiar with naval battles. Moreover, they have brought five thousand elite men with them this time. They are confident that even if they cannot capture Pi Island, they will be enough to delay the Jurchens." Please allow Your Majesty to invade the south!"
Zhu Yuanzhang pretended to be persuaded by him and asked in a deep voice: "Since you have been in the army for a long time, can you tell me how you plan to attack Pidao?"
Zheng Sen thought for a while and then said: "The civilians are going to divide the army into three. The first route will be dominated by bird boats. They will use their speed advantage to attack the North Korean dock first, while the accompanying black-tailed boats will ambush the Pidao Navy. On the only way back to North Korea."
"If the navy of Pi Island returns to rescue, I will attack it halfway, while the second bird ship will quickly seize Pi Island."
"If Pi Dao does not return to the division, the warships of the first line will attack the North Korean dock and then return to attack Pi Dao. While the two sides are fighting fiercely, the warships of the second line will suddenly attack. Although there will be some losses, it will not It’s enough to capture Pi Island.”
When Jin Xuan heard this, he was very moved and asked: "How did you hide the black-tailed boat from being discovered, and what is the use of your third route?"
Zheng Sen said with a smug look on his face: "Although North Korea has a navy, it's just a false name, and the daily patrols are just false stories. It's not difficult to hide it from them."
"As for the third army, it was ambushed between Pidao and the Jurchens, because although the Jurchens are not good at water warfare, the fallen generals Kong Youde, Geng Zhongming and others were once Mao Wenlong's capable generals."
"The reason why they have not gained much reputation in recent years is because the Jurchens do not pay attention to water warfare. If they learn that Pi Island is being attacked, they will definitely send troops to come."
"They are all arrogant people. When they heard that Pi Island and North Korea were attacked, they would not have thought that there would be an ambush. When the grassroots attack them halfway, they will definitely be defeated."
"Then the grassroots approached the coastline with warships and destroyed the Jurchen seaside strongholds. Then His Majesty used Pi Island as a transit to transport elite soldiers and generals to coastal towns."
"After we have established a foothold, we can then move the people to farm. This will not only deter the Jurchens, but also solve the problem of military food. It will also allow the people to have a place to live. It can be said to kill three birds with one stone... In this way, the Jurchens will not be able to survive at all." It’s nothing to worry about…”
Because the Ming Dynasty had been oppressed by the Jurchens for too long, everyone looked fascinated when they heard the beautiful prospects described by Zheng Sen.
