Angry, Zhu Yuanzhang was completely angry.
Although he knew that Li Jin was a little clever, he didn't expect that Li Jin would be so bold.
You must know that the reason why Zhu Yuanzhang issued the sea ban was after careful consideration.
Unexpectedly, Li Jin didn't take his hard work seriously at all. How could Zhu Yuanzhang not be angry?
You must know that the sea ban is related to the safety of the Ming Dynasty in the future. Once Li Jin takes the lead to break this taboo, the sea ban he issued will become a piece of waste paper.
Then everything he had worked hard for for coastal defense would be in vain. How could Zhu Yuanzhang still act as if nothing had happened?
Immediately, Zhu Yuanzhang asked people to arrest Li Jin, ransack his home and behead him.
Even if Li Jin is extremely talented, he is insignificant in the face of Zhu Yuanzhang's eternal strategy.
Zhu Biao, who was standing next to him, saw Zhu Yuanzhang's sudden rage. He was so frightened that he hurriedly interceded for Li Jin:
"Father, wait a minute."
"Li Jin did this out of necessity."
Zhu Biao hurriedly told Zhu Yuanzhang about the invasion of Daming Sea by Japanese pirates in recent years.
After Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, his angry face did not go away. Instead, he became even more angry and said:
"So what? Can Li Jin destroy the Japanese pirates just by relying on his bravery?"
"Then we don't even know where the Japanese pirates came from. In the Ming Dynasty, they are home all over the world and don't even have a home. Where will Li Jin go to exterminate them?"
Didn't Zhu Yuanzhang know that Japanese pirates invaded the Ming Dynasty waters and massacred the people of the Ming Dynasty?
Every year alone, the chief secretaries of these coastal provinces can fill up their imperial files with memorials about Japanese pirates.
However, these people come and go without a trace, and the Ming Dynasty's coastline is thousands of kilometers long. He can't just put his army on the beach and wait for the Japanese pirates to come to his door, right?
Not to mention other things, just the maintenance of military expenses is not something the court can support.
He also wanted to kill the Japanese pirates' lair to avoid future troubles, but Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't find these people's lair at all, so how could he go straight to Huanglong?
Because of this incident, he even called Xu Da, Liu Bowen and others together many times to discuss how to completely eradicate the Japanese pirates, but the results were not satisfactory.
Over time, Zhu Yuanzhang also gave up this unrealistic thought.
Now that Zhu Yuanzhang heard that Li Jin actually wanted to use 3,000 men to wipe out the Japanese pirates who had been entrenched on the southeast coast for decades, Zhu Yuanzhang felt that it was a fantasy.
"But Li Jin said that he knew the lair of these Japanese pirates."
Zhu Biao felt that nothing was absolute. His intuition told him that Li Jin must have some way to solve the problem of Japanese pirates.
"And when he came back, he asked him to bring a map and said he would give it to the emperor."
"He said that as long as the emperor looks at this map, he will know where the Japanese pirates' lair is!"
Zhu Yuanzhang was shocked when he heard this. Li Jin actually knew the Japanese pirates' lair?
How is this possible? He has never been to the sea, how could he know?
Zhu Yuanzhang took the map from Zhu Biao's hand with doubts, and then slowly unfolded it.
This map was the one Li Jin showed to Zhu Biao, but it was a reduced version. The islands on it were painted even smaller, and the place names and cities were also reduced several times.
It was the first time that Zhu Yuanzhang saw such a detailed map. Not only were all the small islands of the Ming Dynasty marked, but even the routes were clearly marked on the map.
It seems that Li Jin has already started planning to go to sea, otherwise it would not be possible to draw this sea map with such painstaking efforts.
"Li Jin hung this map in his training base, but his map is much larger than this."
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the map attentively and didn't pay attention to what Zhu Biao said. After Zhu Yuanzhang read the map carefully, he raised his head and asked Zhu Biao:
"Tell us the truth, are Li Jin training boatmen or soldiers?"
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Zhu Biao with a serious face. Zhu Biao did not hesitate and said reflexively:
"boatman."
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Zhu Biao, as if he could see whether Zhu Biao was lying.
After a moment, Zhu Yuanzhang slowly looked away and asked:
"If Li Jin only trained boatmen, how could he destroy these Japanese pirates?"
"Only relying on his three thousand unarmed people? We think he wants to commit suicide!"
Zhu Yuanzhang didn't believe Zhu Biao's words at all.
Since Li Jin was so well prepared, if he wanted to wipe out the Japanese pirates, he naturally had to do more than just train boatmen.
Otherwise, if a group of honest sailors went to fight the Japanese pirates, they would die.
Don't look down upon these people even if they have the word "寇" in them.
They were all former subordinates of Zhang Shicheng and Fang Guozhen, and all of them were experienced in many battles.
Even though they are now some remnants, their combat power cannot be underestimated.
If Li Jin thought that he could wipe out these people with a few people, he was destined to be buried overseas and thrown into the sea to feed the fish.
When Zhu Biao heard Zhu Yuanzhang's words, he laughed twice and said awkwardly:
"I knew I couldn't deceive my father. This is the new book on military training records and effects that Li Jin asked me to bring back."
"He said that if the father doesn't believe that he can destroy the Japanese pirates, he will ask his son to give this to you."
"You'll know after reading it."
Real records of military training? Ji Xiao’s new book?
what? It sounds like a military strategy, but why has Zhu Yuanzhang never heard of it?
Zhu Yuanzhang had read Sun Tzu's Art of War, Thirty-Six Strategies, and Three Strategies and Six Strategies, but what kind of books were these?
Could it be that Li Jin himself wrote the military book?
Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly felt disdainful when he thought of this.
It's not his old Zhu Chui. If it's enough to ask him to write a military book, how about Li Jin, a scholar in his twenties who is weak in writing and has never been in battle, writing a military book?
Stop being funny, writing a storybook is more like a novel!
Zhu Yuanzhang took the two pamphlets from Zhu Biao's hands with a disdainful look on his face and opened two pages at random.
But when Zhu Yuanzhang read the first sentence of the opening chapter, his contempt disappeared instantly, and his face suddenly became extremely solemn.
"The choice of soldiers is still important, but it varies from time to time, so it is difficult to choose one. If the power of attracting people is in the early days of ignorance, just like the use of military force in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the selection method will be the same. Only now will the world be peaceful, and the people will forget it. In battles, vehicles and writings are mixed up, and sudden changes are the same."
When Zhu Yuanzhang saw this, his scalp felt like it was exploding, as if he had found a close friend, and he couldn't help but read on.
"First of all, don't be a person who travels around the city..."
Zhu Yuanzhang read this for half an hour. It was not until he had read all the words in Ji Xiao's new book that he slowly raised his head.
"call!"
Zhu Yuanzhang breathed a long sigh of relief, feeling that the person who wrote this book was already among the best in military training. There were some things in this that even he, Zhu Yuanzhang, could not understand.
Who wrote this? And who is so talented that he can write this military book? Why has Zhu Yuanzhang never heard of him?
"Father, how is this book?"
Seeing that Zhu Yuanzhang had finally finished reading the book, Zhu Biao asked cautiously from the side.
Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly turned to look at Zhu Biao and asked word by word:
"Biao'er, is this ability really written by Li Jin?"
Zhu Biao looked at Zhu Yuanzhang's expressionless face and didn't know whether the book was good or bad, so he had to bite the bullet and said:
"This book was indeed given to Erchen by Li Jin, but Erchen doesn't know whether it was written by him."
"What's this book like?"
"The world is shocked and ghosts and gods are weeping. Even the reincarnation of Sun Wu is nothing more than this!"
