Beiping Mansion, Yan Palace.
Zhu Di looked at the helpless Erhu in front of him, his big eyes glaring at him.
"Commander Zhao, my father is really willing to exile Dingyuan Marquis Wang Bi, Heqing Marquis Zhang Yi, Huining Marquis Zhang Wen, Quanning Marquis Sun Ke, and Puding Marquis Chen Huan to the Japanese country?"
"Your Highness King Yan, this is indeed true!"
Erhu said helplessly, "It's just that from now on, these people can never return to the Ming Dynasty!"
Zhu Di stared and said, "But one person only needs ten thousand taels of silver. Moreover, each of their family members also needs two hundred taels of silver. How can my father do this?"
Erhu said: "Your Highness, this matter has been decided by Your Majesty, and I will only be the messenger.
Your Majesty said, if you want it, take the money and go to the capital as soon as possible.
It's too late, these guys will be beheaded by the whole family! "
Zhu Di was still a little unwilling, "With so many military attaches coming down, our Prince Yan's Mansion will have to pay nearly 600,000 taels of silver. It's not like my father doesn't know that all the money our Prince Yan's Mansion has earned in the past few years will be handed over to my father." The emperor!"
Erhu just smiled softly and said, "Your Highness, the general has been with your majesty since he was a child. As for your highness, the general has grown up.
Your Highness also knows the general's temperament and will never lie. "
"In addition, there are so many officials, including Ma Jun, the commander-in-chief of the left army, Wang Cheng and Nie Wei, the commander-in-chief of the right army, Xiao Yong, the commander-in-chief of the center army, Yang Chun, the commander-in-chief of the front army, Zhu Zhe, Tao Wen, Mao Ding, the commander-in-chief of the rear army..."
"If you don't act quickly, it will be too late!"
"..."
Zhu Di couldn't help but glared at Erhu, "Father, is this autumn wind coming to fight me?"
Erhu said softly: "Your Highness, if you can save some of these martial artists, please save more!"
Zhu Di said directly to He Zhong on the side: "Quickly raise money, empty out all the wealth of Prince Yan's house, and raise one million taels of silver for us!"
"Yes, Your Highness!"
He Zhong responded and walked out quickly.
Zhu Di said again: "Please President Zhao go back first and tell your father that I want these people in Prince Yan's palace!"
"Thank you, His Highness King Yan!"
Erhu bowed deeply to Zhu Di.
Then, he turned around and walked out.
When Erhu left, Hezhong appeared in front of Zhu Di again.
"Your Highness, I wonder if you should take all the silver, mix it with some gold and silver utensils, or take some copper coins and treasure notes?"
Zhu Di thought for a while and said: "Twenty percent silver, thirty percent gold and silver utensils, and the rest is all copper coins and treasure notes, mixed with some cloth!"
"Yes, Your Highness!"
This time, Ma He really left.
Zhu Di turned his head and said to Guo An: "Guo Qing, this time we will go to the capital in person!"
"Your Highness is wise!"
Guo An complimented him and then told him: "This time, even if I have to spend more money, I must ask your highness to be faster.
Wei Chen is worried that after knowing His Highness's actions, some people will not want His Highness to obtain these generals and officials and will interfere with them! "
Although the Wuhous such as Dingyuan Hou Wang Bi and Heqing Hou Zhang Yi are a bit older now.
However, all of them were experienced in battles, and their army commanding abilities were not as good as those of Xu Da, Feng Sheng, and Fu Youde, but they were still at the ceiling level in Japan and Goryeo.
Especially Zhang Wen, the Marquis of Huining, was the one who defeated Wang Baobao.
Originally, Zhu Di and Guo An just thought that they could buy some generals. Unexpectedly, Lao Zhu would allow these Wuhou to be placed under Zhu Di's command.
Beneath Zhu Di's calm face, his blood was already boiling with excitement!
"Don't worry, Guo Qing, I will decide these generals!"
"Your Highness, those civil servants can and need as much as they can!"
Guo An said.
A trace of hesitation flashed in Zhu Di's eyes.
Guo An hurriedly said: "Your Highness, the minister will send a message to Shen Zhuang, asking him to bring enough money to the capital to do business.
If His Highness is short of money, you can ask him for it!
When those generals and officials are brought back, our Prince Yan's Mansion will pay back the money to Shen Zhuang. "
"Can!"
Zhu Di responded.
Later, the two discussed some details.
Guo An then resigned.
As for Zhu Di, he quickly headed to the inner palace.
The second day.
Zhu Di took a team of guards and took property worth one million taels of silver and took a boat to the capital.
Guo An, on the other hand, prepared some food and property, as well as cloth, clothing and other items, loaded them on twenty large ships, and headed for Ganghwa Island in Goryeo.
…
And the other side.
Erhu worked hard all the way and soon returned to the capital.
He reported everything he saw in Beiping Mansion and even Prince Yan's Mansion to Zhu Yuanzhang in detail.
The emperor's grandson Zhu Yunwen was also on the side, listening very seriously.
After listening to Erhu's words, Zhu Yuanzhang sneered, "It seems that the fourth child has made a lot of money in Beiping Mansion over the years?"
Erhu remained silent.
However, Zhu Yunwen on the side asked with some confusion: "Grandpa Huang, are you saying that the money in the fourth uncle's house is more than this one million taels of silver?"
Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and said: "Yunwen, your fourth uncle has Yanshan Guards to support, and there are so many officials and servants in the house. How can this not cost money?"
"Then the fourth uncle is deceiving Grandpa Huang?"
Zhu Yunwen continued, with an innocent look on his face.
Zhu Yuanzhang was startled, and the smile on his face gradually faded.
By this time, Zhu Di's fleet had already passed Shandong and was only two days away from the capital.
However, within the capital.
A group of royal guards were still interrogating some generals and officials, ransacking their homes, and arresting people.
Outside the capital city, blood was everywhere.
However, some generals and officials were imprisoned and did not receive much punishment.
then.
As a fleet of Prince Yan's fleet entered the capital.
Some of the remaining generals and ministers in the court could not help but express their expressions.
Now, no one dares to look down upon His Highness, King Yan.
He has soldiers, he wants money, and he has won the hearts of the people in the feudal land.
The most important thing is that His Majesty also loves and trusts King Yan very much.
As King Yan Zhu Di entered the palace to pay homage to His Majesty, an imperial edict came from the palace.
"Wang Bi, the Marquis of Dingyuan, Zhang Yi, the Marquis of Heqing, Zhang Wen, the Marquis of Huining, Sun Ke, the Marquis of Quanning, Chen Huan, the Marquis of Puding... and other military officers and officials had meritorious service to the Ming Dynasty. Although they had intentions of treason, after investigation, they were deceived by the blue jade thief. …
From now on, Wang Bi, the Marquis of Dingyuan, Zhang Yi, the Marquis of Heqing, etc., together with their families, will be exiled to the Japanese country.
Without an edict, you are not allowed to return! "
Before the noble officials in the DPRK could react.
Jin Yiwei, King Yan and others have already escorted the Marquis of Dingyuan, Wang Bi, and the Marquis of Heqing, Zhang Yi, onto the ship.
Then, King Zhu Di of Yan personally escorted these criminals to Japan.
Capital.
After all the martial officers learned the whole story, they were all stunned.
King Zhu Di of Yan has such great ambitions!
But, that His Majesty is still so conniving?
Of course, it was the civil servants who were surprised.
As for the remaining generals, their faces were full of joy.
At least, His Majesty did not intend to kill them all. Although they were exiled to the Japanese country, their lives would not be any worse with the presence of Prince Yan's palace.
…
"Don't worry, everyone, the Japanese country is a vassal state of His Highness King Yan, although it has not been conquered yet.
However, those Japanese are all cheap, and they have been beaten into submission by our soldiers in Prince Yan's Mansion.
You all are gone, you just need to manage those Japanese people well.
This time, our Prince Yan's Mansion has prepared ten large ships of food, clothing and other materials for you.
If you are missing any items, we will transport them to you!
Now, Prince Yan's Mansion is very wealthy and lacks nothing. It just lacks generals like you who have experienced many battles, as well as officials like you who govern the place! …”
Goryeo.
Entering Ganghwa Port.
When Zhu Di brought Dingyuan Marquis Wang Bi, Heqing Marquis Zhang Yi and other prisoners to Jianghua Port, Guo An was already waiting at Jianghua Port with a fleet of ships.
These people had just landed at Ganghwa Port and were shocked when they saw the prosperity of Ganghwa Port.
In their impression, Goryeo and Japan were both barren vassal states.
How come what they saw was more prosperous than many cities in the Ming Dynasty?
especially.
The goods, grains, and weapons piled up in Jianghua Port made the generals such as Dingyuan Marquis Wang Bi and Heqing Marquis Zhang Yi full of surprises.
After Wang Bi, Zhang Yi, and Zhang Wen all put on new clothes, Zhu Di joined forces with Guo An and began to comfort the hearts of these veterans.
However, they are all telling the truth.
However, even if he told the truth, the generals and officials such as Dingyuan Marquis Wang Bi and Heqing Marquis Zhang Yi no longer had any worries and were even filled with joy.
With such a prosperous vassal country, why do they still stay in the Ming Dynasty and suffer from the bird's anger?
Moreover, they have long heard that Yan King Zhu Di is much more generous than those cowherd emperors!
"Please rest assured, Your Highness, Prince Yan. The general... Cao Min and others will definitely do their best to capture the Japanese country and make those Japanese traitors obedient to our people, Prince Yan!"
Wang Bi, Zhang Yi and others hurriedly raised their hands and said.
Seeing this, Guo An said from the side: "Don't worry, old generals, that Japanese man is now kneeling down to beg for mercy when he sees our Ming army, and he will never dare to resist.
However, I, the Yanshan Guard, still have too few soldiers in the Japanese country, so I can only ask you to go to the Japanese country and help me, the Yanshan Guard, guard the Japanese country! "
"His Royal Highness the King of Yan, Guo Changshi, and the common people also went to encircle and suppress the Japanese pirates. None of those Japanese pirates were afraid of death..."
Wang Bi and Zhang Yi looked at each other and said with doubts on their faces.
Zhu Di smiled faintly, his eyes full of pride, "Don't be surprised by these old generals. No matter how brave the Japanese are, they will be submissive as long as they are brutally killed by our Yanshan Guards!"
"There were rumors from the year before last that the Yanshan Guards in His Highness King Yan's house dug up the graves of the Japanese pirates' ancestors, which made all the Japanese pirates very angry. The Yanshan Guards were defeated..."
Wang Bi asked again.
Zhu Di chuckled and said, "When did you old generals start to believe the rumors of these long-mouthed women?"
Wang Bi, Zhang Yi, Zhang Wen, Sun Ke, Chen Huan and others all looked stunned.
Zhu Di continued: "Our Yanshan Guards have never been defeated in Japan. Since our Yanshan Guards invaded Japan, in the past two years, the number of dead soldiers has not exceeded one hundred!"
"Not a hundred? This..."
Wang Bi, Zhang Yi and others were all shocked and in disbelief.
"Your Highness, it's not that the common people are suspicious, but that the common people and others have also fought against Japanese pirates and are well aware of the ferocity of those Japanese pirates!"
"A few old generals will know why this is happening when they arrive in Japan!"
Zhu Di smiled lightly and did not explain much.
On the side, Jin Zhong, who rushed over to meet Zhu Di and Guo An, said cautiously after his expression flickered for a while: "Your Highness, the Goryeo State of Yan also needs an old general to be in charge. I wonder if your Highness can leave an old general?"
"Um?"
Zhu Di, Wang Bi, Zhang Yi and others all looked at Jin Zhong in surprise.
