The problem of Japanese pirates has become serious since the Hongwu period, but in the past few decades, there has never been a "organized" loss, let alone the loss of three lucky ships!
This is not a question of ability, it is a matter of shame!
If Liu Cheng, that bastard, wasn't already dead, Zhu Yunwen would have wanted to kill him with a thousand knives!
Ru Yu and Xu Huizu bowed their heads in training, and no one dared to speak.
Zhu Yunwen got angry, but he still needed to force himself to calm down and solve the problem. The Japanese had brains and began to use honey traps and knives. Since they were going to make a fuss, they might as well have a big one.
"Biography of Zheng He, Zhu Neng, and Zhang Yu."
Zhu Yunwen ordered.
The three of them hurried into the palace, confused, and looked at Zhu Yunwen without knowing why.
After Xu Huizu told the three people about the matter, Zheng He immediately said: "Your Majesty, I am willing to lead the main force of the navy to avenge the dead soldiers and recapture the Dafu ship!"
Zhang Yu and Zhu Neng are also a little angry. These Japanese are really not good people. They are making trouble while they are on vacation. In this case, don't take vacation at home and go fishing on the sea.
Zhu Yunwen looked at the three of them and said solemnly: "You have traveled all the way back to the South Seas, and now you have to go to sea again. I really can't bear it. However, among the naval forces, your division is the strongest among those who can fight. In order to avoid the expansion of the disaster, , we can only use the power of thunder to destroy the Japanese pirates in the East China Sea."
"Zheng He, Zhang Yu, and Zhu Neng, I order your troops to reorganize the navy from now on, and go to sea in three days. Ru Yu, the Ministry of War must do a good job in guaranteeing it. If you don't do it well, you will be dismissed from the minister's post and investigated!"
Ru Yun was shocked. The minister was dismissed from his post and investigated? Wouldn't that mean the entire military department was killed?
"I accept your order!"
Ru Yu didn't dare to refuse, and she couldn't refuse.
The Japanese pirates had the Dafu Ship, which was even more powerful. The Ming Dynasty navy now cruises in the East China Sea, adopting the defensive route of the Sansan warship. This arrangement no longer has the advantage of the number of warships when facing the Japanese pirates.
If there is another big battle and ships are lost, the Japanese pirates are likely to grow stronger in a short period of time, and it will be more difficult to deal with them by then.
"Let Li Jian come back, Zheng He, take charge of the Donghai Navy, and order all warships to kill or sink any Japanese pirates or unknown ships! Facing the Japanese, we must not take it lightly!"
Zhu Yunwen said with murderous intent.
Zheng He and others took the order to leave, and Ru Yu also left quickly. The naval fleet's expedition required a lot of preparation work, but there was no delay.
Zhu Yunwen sat back, rubbed his sore arms, and said to Xu Huizu: "I always thought that the generals of the Ming Dynasty were reliable and could carry out my will, but now it seems that some generals are simply unwilling to obey. As a We are in charge of the affairs of the Governor's Mansion of the Chinese Army, and we also have the responsibility of supervising the Navy. Shouldn't we think about how to deal with this kind of thing?"
Xu Huizu said with a look of pain on his face: "I failed to restrain the generals well and lacked discipline on the generals. I am guilty..."
Zhu Yunwen patted the table, frowned and said: "You are guilty and go back and reflect. What I'm asking is how you can ensure that this kind of thing never happens again!"
"Military orders are like mountains and must not be violated. People like Liu Cheng who disobey military orders should be killed. I believe that this can strengthen the idea among the entire army that obedience to orders is the highest mission. Anyone who disobeys orders will be dealt with according to military law!"
Xu Huizu gritted his teeth and said.
Zhu Yunwen nodded slightly and said, "Then catch a few examples and warn everyone."
Xu Huizu did not dare to look at Zhu Yunwen's murderous eyes and lowered his head in agreement.
If you catch a few examples, you will naturally kill a few people. It seems that the army should also improve its morale.
After Li Jinglong returned to Beijing, he placed many cronies in Zhejiang Dusi and Shandong Dusi. The reason why Liu Cheng from Qianhu entered the Navy was actually arranged by Li Jinglong.
Xu Huizu didn't point it out, and it wouldn't make any sense to tell the truth.
Liu Cheng alone can't hit Li Jinglong in the foot. Instead, he will be labeled as "sowing discord" and "disunity".
Zhu Yunwen calmed down his anger and said: "The naval fleet is expanding, and the training of naval sergeants must also follow up. After Li Jian came back, he ordered him to train the navy and select people with naval command talents from various places to serve as command officers. .”
"According to the order."
Xu Huizu took the order.
Zhu Yunwen looked at Xu Huizu leaving and sighed. More than two hundred soldiers died, and more than two hundred families were broken. And all this could have been avoided!
The commander of the Security Bureau, Shi Gu Sansheng, asked for an audience. After entering the palace, he took out a report and said, "Your Majesty, there is a report here. Please take a look at it."
After Zhu Yunwen took it, he scanned it suspiciously.
He glanced at it and said, "Yangzhou?"
Gu Sanshen replied: "The investigation by the Security Bureau found that although Yangzhou had a Yangzhou Guard to control this important town in the north of the Yangtze River, its commander Shi Wangli did nothing. The city was open and the soldiers were slack. When Shanxi merchants came, Chang Baiye and others They arrived with more than a dozen cavalry, but no one stopped them from asking. Chang Baiye once jokingly said: They are Mongols, and the city of Yangzhou has already fallen."
Zhu Yunwen looked at it carefully, with a gloomy face, and said: "A joke? Oh, I don't think it is a joke! It is a majestic and important town, and it is controlled by a guard. It can be defeated by merchants in one fell swoop. If the Tatars really come with troops, Wouldn’t it mean that the city was completely slaughtered! Give this report to Xu Huizu and tell him that I want an explanation!”
Gu Sanshen quickly agreed.
Zhu Yunwen looked at the memorial on the desk and lost his mood, so he said to Gu Sanshen, "Come out for a walk with me."
"According to the order."
Gu Sanshen lowered his hand to one side.
Walking out of Wuying Hall, feeling the chilly spring breeze blowing, Zhu Yunwen asked: "Has the people behind the scenes in Kaifeng Mansion made any progress?"
Gu Sanshen shook his head and replied bitterly: "Your Majesty, the man in the dark seems to have disappeared out of thin air, cutting off all connections. Although Guo Luan is still alive, he is dead and unable to speak. The clues to the man behind the scenes have been cut off. .”
"Where are the two women Yu Xin mentioned?"
Zhu Yunwen asked.
Gu Sanshen replied carefully: "The Security Bureau has never relaxed its search so far, but still found nothing. It is still easy for the two women to hide. If they don't show themselves, it will be difficult to find them."
Zhu Yunwen thought for a while and said: "It is a hidden danger after all. Zhu Youxuan has an old relationship with a woman named Mo'er among them. Do you think she will look for Zhu Youxuan?"
Gu Sanshen looked at Zhu Yunwen in surprise, shook his head and said: "It's absolutely impossible. Not to mention that Mo'er is probably just a chess piece and is not free. To say that Zhu Youhuan is like a prisoner in the capital and has no value in surrendering... …”
"Value can be created."
Zhu Yunwen said calmly.
Gu Sanshen looked at Zhu Yunwen in confusion, and Zhu Yunwen said calmly: "Let Zhu Youhui succeed the King of Zhou and return to Kaifeng Mansion."
"this……"
Gu Sanshen found it hard to accept it.
The emperor spent all his efforts to cut down the vassal vassal. How could he let Zhu Youhuang go back to Kaifeng now?
