Three hundred miles away, Zhu Xiongying and Lao Zhu didn't know what happened.
Soon, the younger Chen Ergou ran over and took the letter.
Zhu Xiongying received the memorial and said,
"Please arrange for this soldier to have a good rest!"
"Yes, Your Highness!"
On Zhu Xiongying's side, he and Lao Zhu opened the letter together.
"Enemy invasion?" Zhu Xiongying opened it and read the beginning.
"What?" Lao Zhu was a little excited.
Just kidding, who dares to tease his Ming tiger beard now?
In the past two years, the residual Yuan in the north was completely wiped out.
Lan Yu's fisherman sea battle captured many of their royal family.
All other places were also pacified, and the Ming Dynasty's power had completely reached its peak.
Now it's not the aliens who are attacking them, but the vassal kings guarding the border who go out to hunt from time to time.
"What's going on? Where is the invasion?" Lao Zhu was stunned for a moment and asked.
"Coastal, Japanese pirates!" Zhu Xiongying put down the letter, clenched his fists and said.
"Japanese pirates!" At this time, Lao Zhu himself frowned.
Throughout the Ming Dynasty, there were many disturbances caused by Japanese pirates.
Not only during the Jiajing period, Qi Jiguang was famous for his anti-Japanese resistance, but during the Hongwu period, there were also many Japanese invasions.
Moreover, as a later generation, how could Zhu Xiongying not know how despicable this Japanese pirate was?
The hatred towards them also went straight towards Zhu Xiongying's Tianling Gai.
Grandma, I didn't have a chance before, but now finally, Zhu Xiongying caught it.
As a grandson, the next generation of emperor, who holds the power of the world, it is unreasonable not to deal with them.
Zhu Xiongying knew that Japanese pirates had been harassing and invading the Han people since a hundred years ago.
Kublai Khan during the Yuan Dynasty failed to destroy them due to typhoons, and after the Yuan Dynasty, he did not continue to attack them.
After all, the strongest thing in the Yuan Dynasty was their cavalry. They couldn't fight across the sea, right?
At the end of the Yuan Dynasty, various rebel armies were attacking the Yuan Dynasty, and at this time, Japanese pirates also entered the era of war between the Northern and Southern Dynasties.
Well, the wars in the Southern and Northern Dynasties are quite scary, but at best, it was just a war between a few villages, but it also left them too busy to take care of themselves.
Moreover, because of their own wars and poor relations with the Yuan Dynasty, many supplies could not be sent to the Japanese pirates through normal trade channels.
Therefore, a lot of coastal trade is a black market, and the operators are naturally pirates and other criminals.
So many guys, if they don’t want to buy it, just grab it without even paying.
Their chaos continued into the Ming Dynasty.
It stands to reason that the Ming Dynasty can be regarded as expelling the Tartars and restoring China. The Japanese pirates should also visit the dock again.
However, the Japanese pirates seemed to be immersed in the fighting between the village chief and the township chief, and had no interest in the new Ming Dynasty.
Lao Zhu was also busy fighting against the remnant forces in the north and had no time to take care of the Japanese pirates.
However, the Japanese pirates' intrusion on the coastal areas continued unabated. Instead, they became more energetic and intensified.
Because he had no time to take care of it, Lao Zhu initially chose the diplomatic approach, hoping that the king of the Japanese pirate base camp could take care of his own people.
But unexpectedly, the Japanese pirates were very rampant. They felt that the Ming Dynasty had nothing to fear, so they killed five of the seven envoys in one go and detained the rest.
According to Lao Zhu's violent temper, isn't this Japanese pirate going to heaven?
However, Lao Zhu could only suppress his anger because of Can Yuan's continuous invasion, and sent another group of envoys.
Finally, Lao Zhu also understood what was going on with the Japanese pirates.
A few guys from the countryside were fighting with each other.
They completely ignored the outside world and joined forces with many losers to create these Japanese pirates.
Moreover, there are still some people who are not Japanese pirates at all, but are the remnants of Fang Guozhen and others from the past.
Because he couldn't take care of it, Lao Zhu could only adopt other methods, and the sea ban policy came into being.
Coastal residents are required to move inland, and no plank of wood is allowed to enter the sea!
So far, although Japanese pirates are still raging along the coast, the harm has been significantly reduced.
And until now, the twenty-fifth year of Hongwu, the Japanese pirates' armed fighting has not ended yet!
But unexpectedly, at this time today, they received news of Japanese pirate invasion again.
"Damn, these bastards are really toads on their feet!" Lao Zhu cursed.
"Grandpa, this memorial says that because of our maritime ban, Japanese pirates are now rampant!"
"But it seems that there is no more supplies. They have a lot of space. Now the war is very depleted!"
"So many people started to plunder supplies and start selling them!"
"And our people were killed and injured in seven villages, with more than 5,000 casualties!"
"Many children were even tortured and killed!"
"It seems like they were forced into a panic! They dared to go in deep!" Zhu Xiongying said.
"What are the guard stations along the coast for? There are so many guard stations, but no one is guarded and no one is caught?" Lao Zhu said cursingly.
"Grandpa, I want to fight!" Zhu Xiongying said with a very serious expression.
"Fight? How to fight?" Lao Zhu's voice became much louder.
"These bastards are like rats!"
"As soon as our army arrived, they went straight into the mouse hole!"
"When the army left, they got out on their own!"
"And there is such a long coast, they come up from nowhere!"
Zhu Xiongying listened without any emotion and said,
"No matter how difficult it is, we must get them out!"
"Now that the people along the coast have been evacuated, they can still come up!"
"With so many people injured at one time, are our people going to be killed by them like this?"
"Moreover, as time goes by and the population grows, people will still go along the seaside!"
"Also, I have also laid out some properties on the beach! We can't just leave it alone!"
"And the more we ignore them, the more rampant they become!"
"Every time there is danger, we shrink back. I, Ming, how much territory can I shrink?"
"In the past, it was because of the power of Can Yuan that I couldn't take care of them. Now you want to become a spirit?"
"How can we, the great Ming Dynasty, shrink back because of these rats!"
"If you can't defeat them in one year, just two years; if you can't destroy them in two years, just ten years!"
"It's like grandpa accumulating military supplies to attack Can Yuan!"
"I will destroy them directly!"
"Completely solving the coastal scourge!"
"Besides, they are Japanese pirates now. If time goes by, who knows if there will be other enemies in the future!"
"I, Ming Dynasty, will never do this!" Zhu Xiongying said,
"Didn't I just have this income?"
"This time, I will act as military support!"
"Okay, then let's fight!" Lao Zhu was also furious, looking at the bloody numbers on the memorial, they were all the people of his Ming Dynasty.
Each one of them was the pillar of a family, just like that.
In the past, I couldn't care less, but now, according to what Da Sun said, these people really have to be taught a lesson.
The current Lao Zhu is not the one in history. He is busy planning Xungui's affairs and dealing with Lan Yu, so naturally he can't take care of anything else.
Nowadays, with Zhu Xiongying's existence, there is no need to raise any major cases and there is no need to work hard.
In this way, they can free up their hands. It will be bad luck for them if they encounter the Japanese pirates this time.
"Come here!" Lao Zhu shouted suddenly.
"Here!" Lao Chen stepped forward and said.
"Forget it, Lao Chen doesn't have to go, Guo Ming!" Zhu Xiongying shouted himself.
"The general is here!" As he said this, Guo Ming took a step forward, cupped his fists and shouted.
"Instructions are given to the Duke of Liang, Lan Yu, the founding Duke Chang Sheng, the Duke of Wei, Xu Yungong, and the Duke of Ying, Fu Youde!" "Well, there are also Prince Consort Guo Zhen, Dingyuan Marquis Wang Bi, Jingchuan Marquis Cao Zhen, and the Governor of the Right Army. Peace be with you!"
"The governor's office is in charge of Tie Xuan, and the commander is Sheng Yong!"
"Meet you immediately!" Zhu Xiongying shouted.
"Yes, Your Highness!"
With that said, Guo Ming turned around and ran towards the palace gate.
"Huh?" Lao Zhu now looked at Zhu Xiongying suspiciously.
