"Father! My sons and ministers are waiting for me to come back to you!"
In the Imperial Study Room, after leaving Honglu Temple, Chu Ze and the other two people went directly to the palace without any unnecessary delay.
As soon as he arrived at the door of the Imperial Study Room, Zhu Xi couldn't wait to step forward to greet him.
However, as soon as the three of them stepped into the imperial study, they found that Zhu Yuanzhang was sitting on the deputy seat, and sitting on the main seat of the imperial study was Zhu Biao, whose condition had basically improved.
As soon as the three people entered the door, they directly glared at Zhu Biao.
"What are you doing standing still? Tell me, how do you look at your brother sitting in this position? Is he powerful and domineering?"
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the three people who were stunned, and waved his hand to Zhu Biao above with a smile.
Let the three people quickly express their opinions.
"Dad, let's stop messing around, okay? Are you putting your son on the fire?"
After Zhu Biao heard Zhu Yuanzhang's words, he immediately wanted to get up and stand aside.
At this time, he didn't even want to say the word father.
I originally came here to take up a new job, but it turned out...
As soon as he opened his mouth to say that he felt better than before, he was forcibly placed on the throne.
Moreover, the three of them were bumped into by Chu Ze.
How embarrassing!
“I feel pretty good”
"Uh, Dad, actually, eldest brother is quite domineering at ordinary times. But, why don't you just pay a little more attention on weekdays?"
"Dad, my son actually thinks that even if we don't care about anything, in terms of filial piety, my son should not sit in the main seat and I should sit in the deputy seat! Otherwise, you should let the eldest brother get up. It seems awkward for him."
"Fart, why are you getting up? As I'm getting older, I just want to sit next to you and have a rest. Is it wrong? Or do you mean, fourth brother, to let us go so that your elder brother won't be embarrassed?"
"Yes! This is a good suggestion!"
"Chu Ze, shut up!"
Throughout the ages, it has always been said that there is no family affection in the heavenly family.
However, in Zhu Yuanzhang, we can always see the strong love between father and son.
In front of his children, Zhu Yuanzhang never concealed his exclusive love for Zhu Biao from beginning to end.
However, even so, the other brothers were particularly obedient to Zhu Biao.
At this time, even though he saw the coordinates of the prince, he was already sitting on the throne that symbolized the emperor.
The two brothers Zhu Xi and Zhu Di are still just having fun.
After Lao Zhu saw this scene, the joy in his eyes was not concealed at all.
After laughing for a while, Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Chu Ze and the other three people coming in a hurry from outside. He smiled slightly and waved his hand.
"Why are you three still standing there? Why don't you report anything to His Majesty the Emperor immediately?"
"Uh, Dad, if you keep fooling around like this, my son... my son is going to leave!"
"Hey, hey, let's not talk, let's just stop talking! You three, hurry up."
"."
Lao Zhu has always been sure of being rude and treasonous.
After all, he is the emperor, he is the father!
He can say whatever he wants.
But seeing that Zhu Biao really couldn't accept his words, Lao Zhu didn't force it.
Anyway, sooner or later he will abdicate.
He wasn't in a hurry.
"Then, Your Majesty, can we report the results of our trip to Honglu Temple?"
While Zhu Yuanzhang was sitting aside and listening leisurely, Chu Ze looked at Zhu Biao, who was sitting on the throne and twisting uneasily from time to time.
He laughed playfully and called His Majesty as soon as he opened his mouth.
His move made Zhu Yuanzhang on the side nod silently.
If this kid goes to the road, he will cause trouble!
"Chu Ze, look what this is!"
In response to Chu Ze's heckles, Zhu Biao silently stretched out his fist, and then raised a huge middle finger directly.
Ever since Zhu Biao learned this move, he could basically only use it in front of Chu Ze.
After all, he still had to maintain his majestic appearance as a prince in front of others.
Looking at Zhu Biao's raised middle finger, Zhu Di and Zhu Xi grinned and laughed.
Chu Ze, on the other hand, raised a huge middle finger to Zhu Biao with a look of disgust on his face.
Four young people of about the same age were smiling happily in the royal study room.
In such a scene, Zhu Yuanzhang on the side not only did not scold him, but actually indulged him a little.
Brotherly harmony, this should be the scene Zhu Yuanzhang hopes to see most.
"Okay, the jokes are almost over, let's get down to business. How did you gain from this trip?"
It's a joke, just stop it in moderation.
Zhu Biao is still very clear about this.
After everyone laughed, he finally became serious.
After hearing what Zhu Biao said, the smile on Chu Ze's face also faded.
His eyes gradually became serious.
"The basic situation is similar to what I know. The country of Japan is currently in a state of war. According to what I know, it will take a lot of time for them to unify."
"At this time, the Ming Dynasty has sent 100,000 troops. As long as they can successfully land on the island, they will definitely be able to crush them."
"And this group of people who came to our Ming Dynasty claimed to be members of the Yoshida family. The purpose of coming here is that they heard that people from the forces next door killed our Ming Dynasty envoys. They took the opportunity to come over and see if they could take advantage of the situation and call themselves He surrendered to the Ming Dynasty and then defrauded people of money."
"By the way, what they claim is that, if possible, they hope to trick His Majesty into giving them a Ming princess. It's considered a marriage."
Chu Ze did not hold back or hide anything about what he tortured.
Directly explain the situation exactly as it is.
After Zhu Biao and Zhu Yuanzhang heard what he said, their faces became extremely ugly.
His country was in chaos, and he wanted to take advantage of the lack of information to defraud money and people. He actually targeted the princess of the Ming Dynasty.
This is simply a way to die!
"How did you handle it over there?"
Although Zhu Yuanzhang was furious after hearing these words, he did not interrupt.
He just sat aside and silently watched Zhu Biao deal with these things.
When Zhu Biao saw that his father had no intention of speaking, he asked Chu Ze directly.
"You know my situation well. After I went there, I first avenged myself and then threatened them. After asking about the situation, I was temporarily allowed to live."
Since the last negotiation with Zhu Biao.
Zhu Biao is now the person who knows the most about future generations besides Chu Ze.
So when he heard Chu Ze's personal revenge, he just nodded slightly.
Didn't ask too much at all.
Zhu Yuanzhang frowned slightly as he watched the somewhat unclear conversation between the two.
'Do these two little bastards have secrets? '
Although he was a little curious about the little secrets of these two little guys, Lao Zhu was just curious.
Although Zhu Yuanzhang has always been wary of Chu Ze.
But for Zhu Biao, he had almost absolute trust.
There was a little secret between them, something innocuous.
"It is right to leave them alive. If, as you said, the Japanese territory is currently in a state of war, then we may still have value in using these people."
"At least, if we use them to lead the way, maybe the army will avoid many detours."
Zhu Biao was quite satisfied with Chu Ze's decision to keep him alive.
Of course, if Chu Ze kills people directly in anger.
Then kill him.
"If you expect these guys to lead the way, to be honest, I can't trust them."
After hearing Zhu Biao's words, Chu Ze silently shook his head.
The sea area is vast, and the Ming army has no experience in going to the ocean.
If he expected such a few Japanese to lead the way, Chu Ze would be somewhat uneasy.
You know, this time the Ming Dynasty dispatched an army of 100,000.
If these people were wiped out because of a few people who led the way, I am afraid that the Ming Dynasty would be severely damaged.
Then his plan will probably have to be delayed for a long time.
Chu Ze himself has always felt that he does not have enough time. If he capsizes in this kind of gutter, it will cause him to waste years, or even more than ten years.
For Chu Ze, it was too much of a loss.
"My opinion is that since Japan is currently in a state of war, all forces must have their own ambitions."
"Now that these people are here, the Yoshida family they represent is likely to be in a relatively weak position."
"My goal from the beginning was to completely annihilate all forces in the Japanese Kingdom. I have always been very confident in the combat effectiveness of the Ming Dynasty's army."
"But what worries me most is that these Japanese people will choose to become rogues at sea."
"Once these people lose their land and turn into bandits, they will inevitably invade our borders for a long time in the future."
"It will not be easy to deal with these people at that time. It will be laborious and unpleasant."
After hearing what Chu Ze said, Zhu Biao, who was sitting on the throne, couldn't help but look at Zhu Yuanzhang with a bit of inquiry, as if he wanted to ask for his opinion.
However, facing the questioning look from his son, Lao Zhu pretended not to see it, picked up the tea cup and took a silent sip.
Seeing that his father obviously didn't want to give any advice, Zhu Biao's mouth twitched slightly, and then he looked at Chu Ze again.
"You mean, you want to use the name of the so-called Yoshida family to send a large army to help them unify first, gather the people, and then deal with them all at once?"
"Basically, according to my understanding, if Ming directly and openly invades the other party's territory, regardless of whether we are righteous troops or not, in the eyes of the other party, we are all invaders. There is no doubt about this."
"Even then, our intervention may actually unite the other party, even though they are just a group of ants. After uniting, they are still a group of ants."
"But what is certain is that if the other party unites the whole country, the number of casualties of our army will inevitably increase. To deal with these people, I, the Ming sergeant, will lose blood even if one more person dies."
"So, if you can let the other party's internal self-disintegration and consume their internal vitality, I think this is still necessary."
"If we support the Yoshida family first and let the external conflicts turn into internal conflicts. For the people of the Japanese country, at least the Yoshida family is still their 'own'. They will not resist too seriously."
"And in the name of the Yoshida family, we can gather as many people as possible in the Japanese country. Once we completely control the situation, we can annihilate them all at once."
Chu Ze never worried about the combat effectiveness of the Ming army from beginning to end.
What he has always been worried about is that he cannot completely annihilate the opponent.
Once these Japanese gave up their territory and chose to play guerrilla warfare with the Ming Dynasty, defending these scattered Japanese pirates would become a big headache for the Ming Dynasty's long border.
Therefore, as long as there is hope, Chu Ze still hopes to kill the opponent as much as possible in one go.
After Chu Ze's point of view was put forward, not to mention Zhu Biao, even Zhu Xi and Zhu Di couldn't stop nodding.
If the Ming Dynasty's army were to overwhelm them, there's no guarantee that smart people would choose to flee with their entire family.
And there should be many such people.
"So that's why you spared the lives of those bitches! Hehe, it's a good thing I didn't kill them directly before. Otherwise, things would have been really bad."
After listening to Chu Ze's words, Zhu Di finally understood why Chu Ze didn't let him kill the Japanese envoys directly.
After bumping Chu Ze's shoulder with a smile, he gave Chu Ze a thumbs up with a smile.
He really lacked consideration on this matter.
"When it comes to war, the art of war is to siege the city first and attack the heart first. Your boy has thought it through quite carefully. Biao'er, this matter is feasible."
"Although it is straightforward and simple to invade the country with an army, Chu Ze is right. We will feel sad if every one of our soldiers of the Ming Dynasty dies."
"If possible, it is the best move to allow the opponent to consume its combat power internally."
"You can meet with this group of envoys, but remember, although we want to use them, our intentions must not be seen by the other party."
"I know it's feasible to support them, but they must offer a price close to their bottom line."
"No matter what time, we must not let the other party see our true purpose."
After Chu Ze finished speaking, Zhu Yuanzhang also added.
And while supplementing, he also taught Zhu Biao.
"Help the Yoshida family to unify the Japanese country, but after that, the Yoshida family will become a vassal of our Ming Dynasty. They must pay tribute every year, and they must also accept the title of minister."
"Our court needs to arrange for envoys to be stationed in the Japanese country. Establish a captain's mansion."
"These are the basic conditions. When negotiating, you must not let go and convince the other party that these are my Ming conditions."
"As long as they agree to this condition, the next step is to help them gradually eliminate their enemies."
Regarding Chu Ze's proposal, Lao Zhu already had a basic plan after thinking about it for a moment.
Emperor Hongwu's strategic vision is still very strong!
