When early spring comes, in addition to matters concerning the grassland military base, everything about the Japanese country will also be officially implemented.

The first is the compensation from Japan. According to regulations, the first batch of compensation will be delivered to the capital in May this year.

The second step is to transport most of the soldiers who are still in the Japanese country back and reorganize them.

The general who went to lead the troops became very important.

Feng Sheng is naturally inappropriate.

Even if he was asked to go, he would not dare to go.

"Dasun, what do you think of Wei Guogong?"

Zhu Yuanzhang asked Zhu Ying.

This remark was quite a pun. Zhu Ying sounded a little weird, but didn't think much about it.

After thinking for a while, he nodded and said: "Wei Guogong is naturally reliable. Now at the peak of his power, Wei Guogong has never been in charge of such a large army. I can rest assured that I am entrusted to him this time."

Zhu Ying had not had much dealings with Xu Huizu, but he was no stranger to Xu Huizu.

At the beginning of the Jianwen period in history, Xu Huizu was awarded the title of Crown Prince and Tutor.

In April of the first year of Jianwen, on the anniversary of Zhu Yuanzhang's death, King Zhu Di of Yan sent his sons Zhu Gaochi, Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Gaosui to Beijing.

When the three of them arrived in the capital, Qi Tai asked Zhu Yunwen to keep them together.

Huang Zicheng said no.

It is suspected that Zhu Di has some other unknown arrangements, so it is better to send them all back.

It can be said that at this point, Huang Zicheng gave Zhu Di a divine assist.

Xu Huizu secretly reported: "Among my three nephews, only Gao Xu is brave, fierce and rogue. Not only is he unfaithful to His Majesty, but he will also betray his father. He will definitely become a big problem in the future."

Zhu Yunwen asked Xu Huizu's brother Xu Zengshou and his consort Wang Ning for their opinions. Both of them had received benefits from Zhu Di, so they naturally chose to protect them.

Under this circumstance, Zhu Yunwen finally sent the three people back to the country out of concern for their bloodline relationship.

Zhu Gaoxu stole Xu Huizu's horse and escaped.

Xu Huizu sent people to catch him but failed to catch him. When Zhu Yunwen heard about it, he trusted Xu Huizu a little more.

Previously, because of Xu Da's eldest daughter Xu Yihua, Zhu Yunwen had never dared to reuse Xu Huizu, for fear that he would cause trouble and secretly collude with Zhu Di.

Shortly thereafter, Zhu Di launched the Jingnan Campaign.

During the campaign, Zhu Gaoxu contributed a lot as the commander-in-chief of the Yan Army.

As for Li Jinglong, he made two major mistakes in fighting, which led to various defeats.

On the other hand, Xu Huizu fought to the end and defeated the Yan army in succession, including killing the general of the Yan army.

Even when Zhu Di seized the throne, Xu Huizu refused to give in at all and did not recognize Zhu Di's identity. Zhu Di, who was so angry and embarrassed, did not dare to kill him. He could only order him to return to his private residence and remove his salary and title.

Zhu Ying was deeply impressed by these things, so he was very relieved about Xu Huizu.

However, Zhu Yuanzhang's intention was obviously not that.

Zhu Yuanzhang said: "Just a few days ago, Xu Huizu came to see us."

Zhu Ying frowned. He thought Xu Huizu came to see the old man to talk about going to Japan to lead troops.

Zhu Yuanzhang immediately saw what the eldest grandson was thinking, and said with a smile: "He is not looking for us for himself, but for his little sister."…

Xu Huizu’s little sister?

After thinking about it carefully, Zhu Ying guessed that it was Xu Miaojin.

Having said all this, Zhu Ying still doesn't understand.

The whole reason was to push Xu Miaojin over to be his grandson's concubine.

"Why, Dasun is not satisfied?"

"If we remember correctly, you and Xu Miaojin must have met many times. At first, we thought you were going to marry your wife as your grandson."

"But having that boy Xu Huizu come to us in person shows that he has already made a secret promise to you, my eldest grandson."

Zhu Yuanzhang said with a smile.

Hearing this, Zhu Ying thought for a moment and then said, "My grandson will follow grandpa's arrangements."

This is relatively straightforward.

Zhu Yuanzhang was also very satisfied.

The two of them also understood that Xu Miaojin was not the key, but Xu Huizu was.

At present, for Xu Miaojin, it can only be said that she will marry first and then raise her.

The people who went to Japan this time, including Zhu Gaochi and others, were also very important.

Before setting off, Zhu Yuanzhang specially called Zhu Gaochi, Zhu Fan, and Zhu Su over to talk.

"When we go to Japan this time, you also know that the fourth son will not go, so let the fourth son's son go."

"This kid, Gao Chi, has been crowned as the crown prince. After arriving in Japan, you and your uncles cannot bully your nephew."

"Especially you, third child."

"We know your temper best. Don't go to the new city to cause trouble like before."

"We hope you will keep the previous lessons in mind and don't do anything that disappoints us again."

"When we went to Japan, we were the only ones there. If we knew in the future that you two were trying your best to bully your nephew, I would have broken your legs."

Zhu Yuanzhang warned.

Jin King Zhu Fan and Qi King Zhu Shu quickly stated that they would take good care of their nephews after arriving in Japan.

"The fourth child went to the grassland. This guy is addicted to fighting."

"Don't blame us, you two. If you want to be like the Fourth Brother, I can agree to it, but if things are done well, your reputation will be better."

These are two lamps that are not fuel-efficient, so Zhu Yuanzhang's words have to be a little more serious.

What Zhu Ying didn't expect was that Zhu Gaochi asked to see him, wanted to get another spot, and brought some people with him.

The first name among them is familiar to you.

It was Xia Yuanji, whom Zhu Ying had always been optimistic about but had not reused.

"You're a big fat monkey, and you can still detect such talents."

Zhu Ying had always known Xia Yuanji's situation very well, but under current circumstances, Zhu Gaochi suddenly wanted to take him to the Japanese country, which made Zhu Ying have some memories.

In the early days, Zhu Ying was sure to reuse Xia Yuanji.

Later I forgot about it and spent a lot of time in the prison in vain.

Now if he really followed Zhu Gaochi to the Japanese country, it would be considered a fate.

When the matter was conveyed to Xia Yuanji, Zhu Ying thought there would be changes. Unexpectedly, Xia Yuanji only thought about it for a moment and chose to agree.

Zhu Ying asked curiously: "Why are you willing to give up the prosperity and status of the Ming Dynasty and go to Japan?"...

Xia Yuanji bowed and replied: "Reporting to Your Highness Taisun, the talents of ministers have become somewhat redundant in today's Ming Dynasty. In the Ming Dynasty, there were many ministers but one person was not enough, and few ministers were not enough."

"I look at the Japanese country. It is now at a time of development and there is a shortage of talents. Moreover, the Japanese country is as important as the coastal areas of the Ming Dynasty and is no less important than the grassland border. If the Japanese country can develop stably, there will naturally be no more Japanese troubles along the southeast coast."

Zhu Ying smiled and looked at Xia Yuanji carefully. After looking at it for a long time, when he saw that Xia Yuanji was not feeling well, he asked: "How many benefits did Zhu Gaochi promise you, so that you are so willing to follow him wholeheartedly?" He went to Japan."

Zhu Ying doesn't believe in any nonsense about ambition.

It's certain to have ambitions, but the Ming Dynasty is so prosperous now, and Xia Yuanji is an official himself, so he can leave just by talking.

Furthermore, this is not just a matter of one person, it also includes his wife, children, relatives and friends, and many personal connections at home.

Wherever it is possible to give up with just one sentence.

Xia Yuanji heard your Highness Taisun's question, hesitated for a moment and then said: "The Crown Prince of Yan told me that the maritime ban has been lifted and maritime trade will prosper in the future. Your Majesty and Your Highness Taisun will seize the three cities of the Japanese country as ports, and they will definitely be there in the future." In the future, we will attach great importance to the Three Cities."



In the future, the three cities will prosper rapidly, and there will be many places for me to develop my ambitions. "

"Yancheng is now like a blank piece of paper waiting to be painted. I can paint with my own hands whatever scene can come out."

"If I go with the prince, I promise that I will serve as the chief of a city and be responsible for many matters related to the construction of people's livelihood. If I can make some achievements, I can set up a monument in Yancheng to show to future generations."

Sure enough, even if Xia Yuanji is not greedy for money, he is very particular about fame.

The two words fame and fortune must occupy the same place.

Zhu Ying smiled and said: "If I tell you that if you choose to stay in the Ming Dynasty, I will be put to good use. How should you choose?"

Xia Yuanji immediately said: "I am a minister of the Ming Dynasty. Naturally, all my arrangements must comply with the orders of His Highness Taisun."

"Whether I stay in the Ming Dynasty or go to Japan, I must comply with the arrangements of His Highness Taisun."

"Even if I go to the Japanese country, I will serve the Ming Dynasty and educate the barbarians."

Zhuying smiled.

Xia Yuanji's words are quite telling.

I mean, it’s up to your grandson whether you go or not. I can do that.

Things have come to this point, so naturally we don't mean to force him to stay. The Ming Dynasty does not lack Xia Yuanji, but the Japanese country Yancheng is in great need of Xia Yuanji.

Zhu Ying originally needed to have enough talents to develop the Japanese country.

For people like Xia Yuanji to be persuaded by Zhu Gaochi, this is actually what Zhu Ying hopes for.

Most talented people would be willing to go to a barren place like Japan. From the current situation of the Ming Dynasty, anyone can see that the future will naturally get better and better and prosperous.

Going to Japan, even after being constantly publicized by the capital's newspapers, is not much different from being exiled in the eyes of many people.

It's really difficult to persuade some people to go over. ….

And Zhu Gaochi was able to do it, maybe because of fate, maybe because Xia Yuanji wanted to better display his ambition, maybe there were some other reasons, which Zhu Ying was too lazy to understand, as long as the result was good .

He believed that Xia Yuanji's visit to the Japanese country would definitely make Yancheng prosperous.

Regarding Yancheng, Jincheng and Qicheng, Zhu Ying is more optimistic about Yancheng run by Zhu Gaochi.

As for Jin King Zhu Fan and Qi King Zhu Shu, Zhu Ying predicts that within a few years, he will try his best to stir up trouble and then occupy other Japanese cities.

These were all within Zhu Ying’s foresight.

As for whether the Japanese country is in chaos and what kind of chaos it will be, how much does this have to do with Zhu Ying?

Without the evil of Jin King Zhu Fan and Qi King Zhu Su, how could the people of Japan understand the goodness of Yancheng.

Good and evil always require comparison.

Outside the palace, Zhu Gaochi has been waiting.

Seeing Xia Yuanji coming out, he hurriedly greeted him: "Sir, the eldest brother has agreed."

Xia Yuanji looked at Zhu Gaochi's slightly childish face and felt a little sad in his heart. How could he be so easily persuaded by him?

In the final analysis, it was Xia Yuanji's ambition. If he wanted to develop his talents and knowledge, going to Japan was obviously a challenge and a better choice.

Xia Yuanji immediately bowed and said, "From now on, Xia Yuanji will rely on His Highness the Crown Prince."

Hearing this, Zhu Gaochi didn't understand. He quickly went to help Xia Yuanji and said, "Sir, what are you talking about? Gao Chi will have to rely more on you in the future."

"Gao Chi is young, and he has nothing to rely on when he goes to the Japanese country. Even his father is also at the border of the grassland."

"My two younger brothers also followed their father to the border to make achievements at the request of my eldest brother. I was the only one who went to the barren land of Japan to hold on."

"After arriving in Japan, I can only ask your husband for help with everything big or small. I hope you won't find it troublesome."

What Zhu Gaochi meant by this was to tell Xia Yuanji that his father and his brothers had all gone to the grassland, and the Japanese country Yancheng was completely gone.

It's up to you.

And after Xia Yuanji goes to the Japanese country, everything big and small will be at your disposal. Even if he doesn't have the name of prime minister, he will still have the actual status of prime minister.

As the saying goes, it's better to have a head than a phoenix's tail.

Now when we go to the Japanese country, the place is a bit smaller, but from now on it will be inferior to one person and superior to ten thousand people.

Xia Yuanji's eyes showed a little excitement when he heard the Chengruo in Zhu Gaochi's words.

He said: "Your Highness, please rest assured that I will wholeheartedly contribute my own efforts to the future development of Yancheng."

Zhu Gaochi nodded heavily and then said, "If you live up to me, sir, I will definitely not let you down."

"Spring has begun now, and we don't have much time left for us. I have already told you about it, eldest brother, and I would like to trouble you to make a few trips to see if anyone is willing to go with me. If you have an official status, I will Let me go and explain to the elder brother."

Zhu Gaochi was not plotting against Xia Yuanji alone.

He also planned it with his friends and students Xia Yuanji.

Naturally, the more talents, the better.

Xia Yuanji had a good reputation and was a serious official in the scientific examination.

In the 23rd year of Hongwu's reign, he was recommended by his hometown to join the imperial college, and was selected to be a member of the banzhongshu provincial imperial edict.

There are naturally many classmates and friends, and Zhu Gaochi knows that there must be many who are depressed.

Now as long as Xia Yuanji sets off to say it, a group of people will definitely follow him to develop in Yancheng, the Japanese country.

Sure enough, after hearing Zhu Gaochi's words, Xia Yuanji immediately said: "After confirming with His Highness the Crown Prince, I have indeed contacted several friends. Although they currently have fame, they have no official status and cannot realize their ambitions. Regarding going to the Japanese country, Very interested."

"Now that His Royal Highness is willing to accept it, I will go and tell them the good news."

Xia Yuanji can indeed talk. Zhu Gaochi was happy when he heard this and said, "That's Mr. Duoduo Trouble."

Xia Yuanji replied: "This is what I should do.".
