"Father, calm down, calm down, the dragon body is the most important thing."
Zhu Di hurriedly helped Zhu Yuanzhang to the chair.
They brought tea and served them, and fanned themselves with cattail leaf fans.
"Hey, it's my fault that we indulged him too much."
"This kid is becoming more and more lawless."
Zhu Yuanzhang slowly sat on the dragon chair, shook his head and sighed.
Looking back on the past, not even three months after Li Xiao returned to Peking, the memorial to impeach Li Xiao came to the court like snowflakes.
Zhu Yuanzhang naturally knew what was going on. It was Li Xiao who was making changes.
But this was also the explanation he made to Li Xiao before he left.
Therefore, no matter how unbearable the memorial written by General Li Xiao was, Zhu Yuanzhang remained unmoved.
Of course, Zhu Yuanzhang was still a little dissatisfied, because Li Xiao had made too many changes, which seemed like a bit of nonsense.
However, Zhu Yuanzhang finally endured and allowed Li Xiao to come.
After all, he had personally promised Li Xiao.
Finally, Zhu Yuanzhang became furious and got angry in the court.
Then he blocked all news about Beiping Mansion and forbade anyone from talking about it. He also withdrew all the royal guards from Beiping Mansion, out of sight and out of mind.
Including Peiping's tax revenue, Zhu Yuanzhang considered that the imperial examination reform required money, and Peiping's tax revenue had not been collected in these years, so he fully supported Li Xiao.
With Zhu Yuanzhang's strong support, Peiping almost became a state, disappeared from the court, and was never heard from again.
Until today, news came that Li Xiao had run away.
I really didn’t expect that this news came.
"Do you think this is true?"
Zhu Yuanzhang frowned and asked.
"It's definitely not true."
Before Zhu Di could speak, Zhu Gaochi said loudly, "Grandfather, if you think back on the tremendous changes in the Ming Dynasty in the past five years, they were all brought about by Li Xiao. How could Li Xiao run away?"
Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned and nodded slightly.
yes!
In the past five years, there have indeed been tremendous changes! ! !
Zhu Yuanzhang himself wanted to visit Peking many times.
But due to too many things, I still didn’t make it in the end.
In the past five years, although Zhu Yuanzhang did not manage government affairs much, he was not idle either.
While maintaining his health according to the methods given by Li Xiao, he was also doing things to benefit the Ming Dynasty.
The first is sweet potatoes. Zhu Yuanzhang has continuously promoted the cultivation of sweet potatoes in the past five years.
At first, the people didn't quite believe in this stuff, so Zhu Yuanzhang had to plant a batch himself, and then took it to officials from various places to publicize it.
Sweet potatoes are indeed one of the most important national treasures left by Li Xiao.
With the vigorous promotion of Zhu Yuanzhang, sweet potatoes with a yield of six thousand kilograms per mu began to bloom all over the country, feeding countless people.
You can say it directly.
Now in the Ming Dynasty, there is no situation where people are unable to eat.
No matter how poor you are, you can still afford sweet potatoes.
Of course, Zhu Yuanzhang still made a trade-off and did not allow all the people to grow sweet potatoes.
Each household is only allowed to grow one acre of sweet potatoes. Zhu Yuanzhang still has a long-term vision. He feels that the widespread proliferation of one crop is not a good thing.
The second thing is that Zhu Yuanzhang opened massages for the blind in many big cities, so that there would be no more beggars in the world and increase tax revenue for the court.
The third thing is to promote snowflake white salt. Now all coarse salts across the country no longer exist.
All the people can eat snowflake white salt, and the price is still the same as before.
The government produces salt and collects salt tax.
In addition, because of crops like sweet potatoes, there is no shortage of food everywhere.
The Kaizhong Law has almost been abolished, and getting rid of this advanced consumption habit of "eating at the same time and eating at the same time" has led to higher and higher taxes on the imperial treasury.
In the 30th year of Hongwu.
Treasury tax revenue has increased from 20 million taels to 40 million taels, fully doubling.
Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhu Di, and Zhu Gaochi studied for a long time, but they could not figure out why taxes would rise so fast after the emergence of sweet potatoes and white salt.
This made Zhu Di smile with joy.
The treasury is now extremely rich, but he has been calling for a war for five years, but has not succeeded in five years. Now that he is so rich, he should be able to fight a war, right? ?
The reason why Zhu Di has not fought in the past five years is because he has been busy with big things.
The first is the reform of the imperial examination, after learning about many disadvantages before.
It took Zhu Di two years to finally cancel the eight-legged examination system, find many civil servants, re-study it, and develop a set of imperial examination methods.
In fact, it is similar to the imperial examination in the Sui and Tang Dynasties. It is equivalent to reversing the course of history. It means that the policy questions of the imperial examination have become more pragmatic and there is no such thing as falsehood.
Secondly, Li Xiao said before that the main reason why most officials accept corruption and bribes is that they feel aggrieved because the money is not paid in place.
Zhu Di studied for a long time, and finally slightly improved the treatment of officials, increased the time for rest, and postponed the morning court so that there was no need to go to court so early.
This change was supported by most officials, and the court hall cheered!
Coupled with the abundant national treasury, Zhu Di completely canceled the previous "Ming Dynasty Treasure Notes", and the salaries paid to officials were just snowflakes of silver.
After taking a two-pronged approach, Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Di were surprised to find that the number of cases of corruption was indeed as Li Xiao said, significantly reduced.
Many petty officials have had their salaries improved and are given more rest time.
It's very comfortable to be an official.
When they want to commit corruption, they should weigh it more carefully.
With such a good job, you can actually live a life of peace and quiet. Otherwise, why would you take this risk if you are not greedy?
In this way, although the situation of corruption still existed, it was indeed reduced a lot compared to before, which made Zhu Yuanzhang very happy.
Increasing salaries and changing the imperial examination were two-pronged approaches. Zhu Yuanzhang once again discovered that the new batch of officials who had joined the officialdom seemed to be more able to do things than before.
Many things were ordered, and they were done neatly.
Many petty officials are content with the status quo and feel that they can't climb up, so they don't climb up. They don't give gifts or please people. They just do the job in front of them well and their income is acceptable.
Therefore, the situation of cliques and private interests has been alleviated a lot.
It is worth mentioning that Zhu Gaochi, with Zhu Yuanzhang's permission, spent three years studying the organizational structure, selecting talents, and establishing the Military Aircraft Department.
In addition, Zhu Di and Zhu Yuanzhang also studied the problem of "the vassal king defeated the Ming Dynasty" and rectified the vassal king system again.
Weakened some rights and treatment of the vassal king.
At first, many people were dissatisfied.
However, Zhu Yuanzhang didn't care so much and still obeyed.
Of course, those vassal kings were all Zhu Yuanzhang's sons. He did not cut them too hard and still ensured a life of glory and wealth.
In short, because of these things, Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Di have been busy for five years.
Zhu Yuanzhang's trip to Peking to see Li Xiao was delayed again and again.
And Zhu Di's decision to go to war was delayed again and again.
Following Zhu Gaochi's persuasion.
Zhu Yuanzhang calmed down and said slowly: "Yes, in the past five years, the Ming Dynasty has undergone tremendous changes. National treasury tax revenue has doubled. Now officials are more pragmatic and capable than before, and people no longer starve to death." , these are all changes brought about by Li Xiao."
Zhu Di smiled and said: "Father, don't worry. What bad intentions could Li Xiao have? It's even more nonsense to say that he ran away. I'm afraid the officials below are just talking nonsense."
Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and nodded: "Even so, we still have to go and see for ourselves."
As he said that, Zhu Yuanzhang stood up slowly and said, "In the past five years, we have wanted to visit Peking many times. Either this or that matter has delayed us. I don't know how many years I can live with my body, so I might as well go and see it."
"Dad, your dragon body is the most important thing. I plan to raise troops for the Northern Expedition. Why don't you do it?"
Zhu Di thought to himself, this father is gone.
Isn’t the matter of his Northern Expedition becoming obsolete again?
"Every day, I say a few words at the Northern Expedition, and my ears get calloused."
Zhu Yuanzhang scratched his ears and said, "We will discuss this matter when we come back from Peking."
Zhu Di shrank his head and said something else: "Dad, you are old and traveling long distances, so your dragon body is more important!"
"We want to go see our little brother, are there any questions?"
Zhu Yuanzhang's face fell, and his aura was high, "We can still move our bones. If we can't move anymore, we really can't go. We won't give up."
In fact, over the years, Zhu Yuanzhang used Li Xiao's prescription to recuperate him. Five years later, his body and bones are in good condition, not too bad.
In addition, I don’t have any government affairs to worry about, so I can sleep until I wake up naturally, and I feel in good spirits.
When Zhu Yuanzhang said this, he meant that he was going to use Huang Ba's identity to visit his sworn brother Li Xiao.
The status of sworn brothers has been revealed.
How dare Zhu Di stop this?
He could only smile and said: "Father, you can go ahead. Your son is in court, so don't worry."
Zhu Yuanzhang snorted, looked at Zhu Gaochi and said, "We can rest assured that our grandson is here."
Zhu Di: "."
Zhu Gaochi rubbed his belly and showed a chubby expression: "(#^.^#)"
"High and blazing"
Zhu Yuanzhang looked over.
Zhu Gaochi cupped his hands and said, "My grandson is here."
Zhu Yuanzhang teased: "Since the establishment of the Military Aircraft Department, your belly has become rounder day by day. Are you going to have a baby?"
Since the establishment of the Military Aircraft Department, Zhu Gaochi has finally become much more relaxed.
This meat has begun to rebound again, and it is much fatter than before.
Zhu Gaochi chuckled: "Yes, grandpa, how did you know?"
Zhu Yuanzhang: "????"
Zhu Di: "???"
Zhu Gaochi hurriedly explained, with a happy look on his face: "It's not my grandson who is giving birth to a baby, but my grandson's daughter-in-law, Mrs. Zhang, who is pregnant. My grandson will be a father soon."
Hearing this, both Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Di were happy.
Zhu Gaochi chuckled, cupped his hands and said, "Please grandpa give the unborn child a name."
Zhu Yuanzhang thought for a while and said: "In the past few years, the Ming Dynasty has been peaceful and peaceful for the people, and the weather has been smooth. We hope that he will be as noble and steady as you in the future, and be the foundation of the world. The foundation is embedded in the five elements. How about calling him Zhu Zhanji?" "
"Zhu Zhanji"
Zhu Gaochi was overjoyed and handed over his hands: "Thank you grandpa for the name, then I will call him Zhu Zhanji."
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded slightly, put his hands behind his hands, walked outside the palace, and looked at the northern sky.
"This time when we go to Peking and come back, we can see our great-grandson being born, haha. Having four generations living under one roof is really a great blessing in life!"
This year, Zhu Zhanji was waiting to be born in his womb.
The same year.
Zhu Yuanzhang left the capital alone and set out for Peiping.
The Ming Dynasty was in the hands of Zhu Di and Zhu Gaochi, and Zhu Yuanzhang was completely relieved.
In the last few years, this old man who was about to reach the end of his life felt that it was time to live for himself.
That's it.
Zhu Yuanzhang rode a carriage on the road from Nanjing to Peiping.
He walked around and took a rest, transforming into "Huang Ba" and checking out the people's sentiments.
Treat it as a trip and enjoy the scenery around you.
Therefore, it took two full months of walking before we slowly reached Peiping.
As he was about to arrive in Peiping, Zhu Yuanzhang was sitting on the carriage and began to feel a little uneasy.
In his hand was a memorial to impeach Li Xiao, which listed many crimes, including failure to pay taxes, corruption, running a brothel, canceling the imperial examination, forcibly expropriating land, opening up the sea, and running away.
The most important thing is that Li Xiao ran away, taking his granddaughter Zhu Ningyun and Han Wang Zhu Gaoxu with him.
Zhu Yuanzhang was already hinting to himself not to be angry.
No matter what mistakes Li Xiao made, he had made up his mind to spare his life.
But if the last one is true, Zhu Yuanzhang would not be able to accept it.
What are you running for? ? ? ?
We didn’t say we’d kill you, why don’t you run away! ! !
Just when Zhu Yuanzhang was thinking a lot, he found that the carriage suddenly stopped being bumpy and he felt very comfortable.
"Mr. Huang, my God. Come out and look at this ground."
As Erhu walked, he suddenly noticed something had changed and his whole body froze.
At the junction of Beiping Mansion and Mansion, a sudden change occurred.
On one side is a dirt road, on the other side is a black smooth road, clearly distinguishable! ! !
It really feels like the Chu-He-Han realm!
There are people coming and going on the road in an endless stream, which is very lively.
Logically speaking, people cannot leave their place of residence at will. They need to bring a note from the local government office in order to pass the checkpoint. However, there is no checkpoint at all at the junction of the two governments.
"What happened to the ground?"
Zhu Yuanzhang stuck his head out of the carriage and looked at the ground, and then he was stunned.
The road was pitch black and very neat. The trees on both sides were neatly arranged, and some people were planting trees.
“What a smooth road”
Zhu Yuanzhang jumped off the carriage directly, squatted on the ground and looked forward with squinting eyes. The ground was so flat, no wonder the carriage did not bump at all.
"Did you enter Peiping? Enter the jurisdiction of that guy Li Xiao?"
Zhu Yuanzhang asked in surprise, already squatting down and touching the ground with his palms.
Great! How did this road get built?
On the road, there were still many pedestrians looking at Zhu Yuanzhang, and their eyes felt like they were looking at someone who had never seen the world.
"It should be here by now, I'll go ask."
Erhu responded.
Then he randomly asked a passerby: "Excuse me, old man, is this place Peiping?"
The old man smiled and said: "Yes, if you look at the roads on the ground, if you have such a road, even if you reach Peiping, there is only such a road in Peking."
Zhu Yuanzhang listened on the side and felt moved in his heart.
This Li Xiao can do it. He actually spent such a huge price to build such a road in Peiping. This is to benefit the people. Some officials are impeaching him. He is really ignorant.
Zhu Yuanzhang stepped on the ground. The road was really solid.
It's really strange that it won't be damaged easily by wind or sun.
I don’t know what material it was made of. There are stones on it, so it must have been made of stones, but I don’t know what the dark stuff on it is.
Zhu Yuanzhang walked over with a smile and asked personally: "Old man, do you know what this road is called?"
The old man said: "Are you from out of town?"
Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and nodded: "Yes, old man, we are from out of town. It's our first time here. It's really strange."
"Then you've asked the right person."
The old man smiled and said: "This road is called an asphalt road, also called an asphalt road. We only have it in Beiping. This road is good. It is not bumpy when pulling goods or carts. It is much more convenient for us people."
Zhu Yuanzhang asked again: "Old man, do you know when this road was built?"
The old man smiled and said: "Five years ago, it was only in Dong'an County. In recent years, roads have been built all over Beiping, making them almost accessible. This section of the road was contracted by Zhang Erhu from our village. Erhu used to farm. The poor man made a sound, but as soon as the road was built, the boy suddenly made a fortune, bought a big yard in the county town, and married three wives."
Upon hearing this, Erhu already felt something was wrong.
This Zhang Erhu just has the same name as him.
What’s even more strange is how can a farmer take over a court project and make money by building roads?
Zhu Yuanzhang's expression was subtle and he asked: "The Zhang Erhu you are talking about was a farmer before?"
The old man said: "Yes."
Zhu Yuanzhang was surprised and said: "How can a farmer build a road?"
The old man smiled and said: "Hey, speaking of which, this Erhu is very courageous. As soon as the first entrepreneurship training base in Ming Dynasty was opened, he dared to put down the hoe in his hand to study and learned to build roads. It really makes the brave starve to death. . He has made a fortune now, and I regret it so much. If I had known, I would have let my son go. Now the requirements for getting in are very high, and you can’t just get in if you want to."
Zhu Yuanzhang was shocked and said: "It's impossible. The imperial court stipulates that farmers are not allowed to do business. How can he do business? Can he still build roads?"
The old man said: "You don't know, right? Beiping Prefecture has canceled the household registration a long time ago. All of us ordinary people can do whatever we want now."
"What?"
Zhu Yuanzhang's face turned dark and he said, "In addition to doing business, can farmers also study and become officials?"
"sure."
The old man was very happy to talk and said patiently: "Not only can you study, but you must study. The Beiping government stipulates that when every child reaches the age of six, he will enter school for five years of compulsory education. It is all free. Good study. , you can become an official in the future."
hiss! !
Zhu Yuanzhang took a breath of air.
It's a mess, it's a complete mess! !
Isn't this nonsense? ?
We did allow Li Xiao to change his ways, but this is too much!
Zhu Yuanzhang felt a little numb and wanted to find Li Xiao immediately and ask him face to face why he did this! !
Zhu Yuanzhang attached great importance to the management of household registration in the Ming Dynasty.
A series of powerful measures have been implemented to strengthen the investigation and management of the people, and a relatively complete household registration system has been established.
Zhu Yuanzhang, who was deeply aware of the chaos and disorder in the late Yuan Dynasty, came up with a way to make the Ming Dynasty very orderly. He divided the people of the Ming Dynasty into different household registrations.
Civilian households, military households, craftsmen households, music households, etc.
Each person has his or her own unique work household registration.
As soon as the people are born, they can do their own thing and live in their own one-third of an acre forever, so that the world can be peaceful.
Since everyone has their own division of labor, there will not be too many refugees, which will cause chaos in the late Yuan Dynasty.
"Damn it, this Li Xiao is too bold and presumptuous."
"We haven't even thought of taking a look for five years. This is completely messed up!"
"Now everyone wants to do whatever they want. Then everyone wants to be an official and do business. Who would still want to farm? Who would still want to fight?"
"There are already enough scholars, but he forces everyone to study, using martial arts to break the ban, and Confucianism to disrupt the law with literature! Isn't the example of the Song Dynasty enough? If there are too many scholars, the world will be in chaos!"
"We have finally managed the Ming Dynasty in a better way in the past five years. Will he cause chaos again???? Even the military households are gone, who is still going to fight!"
Zhu Yuanzhang almost fainted from anger.
Fortunately, Erhu next to him had quick eyes and quick hands to support him.
Erhu whispered: "Master Huang, the military households should not be cancelled."
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded slightly and thought to himself that Li Xiao would not cancel the military household, otherwise there would be chaos. When Beiyuan came over, he would not be able to fight back.
"Okay, I have something else to do, so I won't tell you more."
The old man waved his hand, raised his crutch and left.
On both sides of the road, there were many small stalls selling fruits and vegetables. The old man had obviously gone to buy vegetables.
Erhu saw that there was a watermelon seller in front of him, so he supported Zhu Yuanzhang and said, "Master Huang, how about you rest on the carriage while I buy a watermelon to quench your thirst?"
"No, we're not old yet, let's go and see for ourselves."
Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand and then walked over.
This must be because we entered one of the main avenues in Peiping. There were many vendors on this road, selling melons and fruits on strange little tricycles.
Zhu Yuanzhang walked around for a while.
Stopped in front of a young man in his mid-twenties.
Seeing that the cart used for setting up stalls was strange, Zhu Yuanzhang touched it and found that it was made of iron.
"What kind of car is this?"
Zhu Yuanzhang asked.
"Oh, you're talking about this car. It's a tricycle. It's very useful for hauling goods. You can buy it in the city. Many people come to Peiping just to buy a tricycle like this. In addition to tricycles, there are also bicycles."
This young man was very talkative. As soon as Zhu Yuanzhang opened his mouth, he said several words.
"Can you ride it for us?"
Zhu Yuanzhang asked. He felt a little abrupt and added: "Don't worry, I will buy you a few kilograms of melons later."
"That's okay."
The young man got up, sat on the tricycle, and rode a dozen steps away.
Then he wandered back and said with a smile: "Old man, you are not the only one. Many people who have met for the first time have made this request. I am used to it."
Zhu Yuanzhang smiled slightly again, "This car is really good. It's really useful for pulling goods. You can actually pull it with your feet. Can you let us try it?"
Zhu Yuanzhang became interested and wanted to try this tricycle.
"you try."
The young man gave up his seat and said: "Fortunately, you are trying this tricycle. If it is a bicycle, you really can't try it."
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and then got on the tricycle.
Under the guidance of the young man, I stepped on it and pulled it. It was a bit laborious at the beginning, but it became much easier later on.
"Okay! This car is great! It's really convenient for people to have this car."
Zhu Yuanzhang got out of the car, gave it back to the young man, and asked, "How much silver does this car cost?"
The young man smiled and said: "This car is a bit expensive, costing eighty taels."
Zhu Yuanzhang was startled and pointed to the driveway: "Eighty taels? Where did you get so many taels of silver?"
The young man explained: "Hey, isn't this the retirement pension I received after I retired from the army? I have more than two hundred taels of silver. I thought I couldn't just sit back and do nothing, so I planned to do some small business, so I bought a tricycle to sell watermelons."
"correct."
The young man smiled and said, "Old man, do you want to buy melons?"
Zhu Yuanzhang said: "Does your melon stay ripe?"
The young man laughed and said: "I, Li Liujiang, am honest in business, can I sell you raw melon eggs?"
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and prepared to take out the money.
Hey, that’s not right!
Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly realized that his question had not been asked yet.
Sure enough, he is older.
He turned around and forgot about the matter. This was not what he wanted to ask just now.
Zhu Yuanzhang asked again: "Just now we asked you where you got so much money to buy a car. What did you say? We didn't hear clearly."
The young man shook his head helplessly and said patiently: "I told you, I bought the car with the retirement pension."
"Retirement pension?"
Zhu Yuanzhang still didn't understand and asked again: "What is retirement pension?"
The young man explained loudly: "Retirement pension is a one-time subsidy given after you retire from the army."
"Retire from the Army"
Zhu Yuanzhang asked in disbelief: "Are you a military household??"
The young man waved his hand: "There is no such thing as a military household in Peiping. Without military households, we have to serve in the military for four years, and we will receive a pension when we retire."
"Military household. Selling melons"
Zhu Yuanzhang never expected that Li Xiao went too far.
Forget about canceling other household registrations, now all military households have been cancelled! !
Soldiers selling melons?
How could this be true? How could it be true?
Who will fight in the future?
What to do if the enemy comes over?
The country will not be a country! ! !
"What a fucking bastard!"
Zhu Yuanzhang was so angry that his eyes darkened and he fainted.
at the same time.
An extremely huge warship is riding the wind and waves on the ocean! !
This ship is extremely spectacular, with five decks, a length of more than 50 meters, a width of about 16 meters, and a height of 14 meters.
There are pavilion-style buildings at the front and back with beautifully carved decorations.
Especially the dragon head on the bow and the phoenix tail on the stern are very gorgeous and spectacular.
The exterior of the hull is covered with dark reflective iron plates, fastened with copper nails, reflecting its solemn momentum in the sunlight!
There are as many as a dozen sails on the ship, covering an area of more than 5,000 square meters. With the help of the sails, the ship can move forward quickly.
It is worth mentioning that the sides of the hull are also equipped with a large number of weapons and navigation tools, such as large artillery, compasses, and telescopes to ensure safe and smooth navigation.
Flying at the top of the sail is the flag of the Ming Dynasty.
And this ship is the first Ming Dynasty treasure ship that Zheng He spent five years building.
It is even equipped with large artillery manufactured by the weapons research institute established by Li Xiao in Peiping.
"If we drive another twenty nautical miles, we should reach Japan."
At this time, in the cabin, Zheng He held the navigation chart in his hand and said.
It is worth mentioning that Li Xiao, as a duke, had given Ma He the surname Zheng and changed his name to Zheng He.
In the cabin, in addition to Zheng He, there were also Zhu Ningyun, Zhu Gaoxu, Zhang Wu, Zhu Neng, Zhang Fu and others. Zhang Yu did not bring them out this time and stayed behind in Peiping.
Five years have passed, and the King of Han, Zhu Gaoxu, looks even taller and burlier again!
His shoulders are broad, his arms are thicker, his skin is darker, and he has a beautiful beard on his chin, which makes him look extra manly. He is much more stable before.
Looking back at Li Xiao and Zhu Ningyun, it seems that time has not left any trace on them. They are still so young, talented and beautiful, like a golden boy and a beautiful girl.
Li Xiao nodded slightly and said: "At this distance, I am afraid that we have entered the Japanese territorial waters, and they may send military ships to intercept."
Zhu Ningyun was wearing the armor that Li Xiao designed for her five years ago. She looked heroic and showed off the style of a female general. She said: "In this case, we have to act carefully. This is the first battle of our Ming Navy. We can only win, not lose." !”
"good!"
The King of Han, Zhu Gaoxu, narrowed his eyes and commanded: "Zhang Wu, Zhu Neng, and Zhang Fu, immediately move over to prepare the soldiers and enter combat status at any time."
"The last general takes command!"
Several people handed over, then exited the cabin and went to make preparations.
"By occupying the Japanese country, those Japanese pirates will lose their old nest and they will be able to defeat them without attack. Once the Japanese pirates' troubles have been completely solved, we can open up the sea and open up the Maritime Silk Road. The excessive silk production in Peiping has led to oversupply, so the market must be opened up. "
Li Xiao slowly sat down, picked up the tea cup and drank slowly.
"Well, Xiaolang, we all firmly believe in your decision. We have all seen the tremendous changes in Peking over the past five years."
"Yes, brother-in-law. At first, I was worried that you would bring down Peking. Now it seems that my brother is too worried. Whatever you say, brother-in-law, I will fully support you."
Zhu Ningyun and Zhu Gaoxu smiled slightly and sat down one after another. They looked at the sand table map of Japanese pirates on the table and began to think about how to fight.
It turns out that Li Xiao did not escape this time.
Instead, he took the big ship and planned to attack the Japanese country.
Because if you want to open the sea, you must get rid of the Japanese pirates entrenched in the ocean.
But there are too many Japanese pirates, and the vast sea cannot eradicate them at all.
Li Xiao simply decided to directly occupy the Japanese country and plant the Daming flag on the Japanese territory. Those Japanese pirates could not float on the sea forever and had to go ashore.
Once ashore, it would be a good opportunity to annihilate the Japanese pirates, and at the same time turn this Japanese country into the territory of the Ming Dynasty.
Not long after, the sound of a warning siren came from outside.
"Dong Yongle, King of Han, Princess Yong'an, there is a military ship to intercept us."
Zhang Fu hurriedly came to report.
"Let's go and have a look."
Several people came out of the cabin and came to the deck.
"Where's the boat?"
Zhu Gaoxu walked out of the deck and looked around.
Then I was stunned and didn't see it at all.
Zhang Fu explained, "The other side's boat is too short, so you have to look down."
"oh"
Several people walked to the side of the ship, looked down, and saw a small military ship.
Because the boat was too small, I didn’t see it at the first time.
There was a flag on the boat, with a red circle in the middle of a white background.
There was a general wearing black warrior armor on the ship. He pointed at the Ming Dynasty treasure ship and shouted: "Bagya Road, the ship is the sea area of Japanese Kingdom and the speed of power is out of してください!!"
Everyone: "????"
Zhu Gaoxu looked at Li Xiao and said, "Brother-in-law, what is this man talking about?"
Of course Li Xiao didn't understand either.
But he had a headset on his ear, a headset produced by the system that could automatically translate various languages.
The earphones immediately translated the words completely and transmitted them to Li Xiao's ears.
After listening, Li Xiao translated: "He said: Bastard, please move your ship quickly away from the waters of our country."
"Oh, you are so arrogant. You actually call us bastards?"
Zhu Gaoxu chuckled, then looked at the small boat and said with a speechless smile: "You are really overestimating your capabilities. Someone come and point the cannon at me and fire!!!"
Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
Loud noises rang in everyone's ears, deafening.
Reverberating through the sky! !
