Zhu Yunwen looked at Yang Rong. He had a strong ability to adjust. He entered the role the moment he learned about going to the northwest and started planning and arranging.
"Yang Pu, Hu Hui and others cannot go. I still need them to assist the prince."
Zhu Yunwen relaxed and said calmly.
Yang Rong shook his head slightly: "What the northwest needs is strategy and war. Without so much negotiation and appeasement, I will not ask for these two people. What I want is another person."
"Tell me, who is it?"
Zhu Yunwen was very curious.
Yang Rong said word by word: "Take off - take off!"
"What are you taking off?"
Zhu Yunwen was stunned for a moment.
In this Wuying Palace, there are some big men, can you tell me to take off my clothes?
Yang Rong, Yang Rong, I heard that you usually have a good official reputation, and you never went for a walk in the Qinhuai River. Why do you take off your clothes twice when you open your mouth?
Zhu Di, Xu Huizu and Tie Xuan's bodies began to tremble. They couldn't laugh. They definitely couldn't laugh. They would get beaten if they laughed. So hold it in...
Yang Rong looked at Zhu Yunwen in shock and said in his heart: My emperor, your thoughts are not pure. I mean take off your clothes, not take off your clothes...
"I want a person named Tuotuo."
Yang Rong explained quickly.
Zhu Yunwen was suddenly embarrassed. Seeing that Zhu Di, Xu Huizu and Tie Xuan were all blushing, he couldn't help shouting: "Hold it, if you can't hold it in, don't blame me for stripping you naked and throwing you out!"
Zhu Di and others were suddenly shocked, why were they so angry...
Tuotuo, who is this?
Zhu Yunwen knew that there was a general named Tuotuo in the early Yuan Dynasty, and he also knew that the right prime minister in the late Yuan Dynasty was named Tuotuo. However, these two people had died long ago. Did Yang Rong want to dig graves and change his career to become a gold captain?
Zhu Di saw that Zhu Yunwen was confused and was afraid that he would think about Tuo Tuo again, so he quickly explained: "Your Majesty, the Tuo Tuo mentioned by Yang Rong should be Tuo Tuo, the son of Nahuli. Nahuli is the brother of Hami King Anke Timur. "
Zhu Yunwen realized that he was Anke Timur's nephew. However, if you want to find his nephew, why don't you go to Hami and find me?
Well, Tuotuo is a slave, a prisoner of the Ming Dynasty...
This matter must be told in the 24th year of Hongwu. At that time, King Hami was very powerful and bullied this and that. As a result, Zhu Yuanzhang was angered and sent the governors Liu Zhen and Song Sheng to go on an expedition. As a result, more than a thousand people were captured, including Young Tuotuo.
It stands to reason that prisoners from the royal family should at least be given some preferential treatment, such as better food and drink, and humanitarianism must be in place. Zhu Yuanzhang always treated prisoners of the Yuan Dynasty royal family like this. But the problem is that Zhu Yuanzhang gave preferential treatment to the prisoners of the Yuan Dynasty because the Ming Dynasty needed to deal with the Yuan Dynasty. Although it was difficult to arrange a prisoner exchange, it at least seemed that the Ming Dynasty was magnanimous and did not engage in ethnic discrimination.
Hami royal family?
Zhu Yuanzhang did not intend to take the land in Hami, nor did he want to occupy the Western Region. Why should he give face to the Hami royal family? Even if he treated prisoners preferentially, no one would help him publicize it.
So Brother Tuo became an ordinary prisoner. As a servant, he worked in the clan's mansion sweeping fallen leaves in autumn and sweeping heavy snow in winter.
"If you want to take it off, I can agree to it, but you must make it clear what your plan is for taking him to the northwest."
Zhu Yunwen didn't care about one less slave.
Yang Rong said solemnly: "Your Majesty, King Anke Timur of Hami has been awarded by the imperial court and is the loyal and shun king of the Ming Dynasty. He died. Logically speaking, his descendants should take over as the loyal and shun king, but this man has no sons. …”
Zhu Yunwen's eyes lit up. Anke Timur had no son, which meant that no one in his lineage could succeed him as King Zhongshun. He could only find one among his brothers. His brother Nahuli was gone, but his son Tuo He is still alive after all. It is not difficult for Ming to support a puppet.
Yang Rong's plan is indeed this: "I want to send Tuo Tuo back to Hami so that he can become the new loyal and submissive king. Of course, the court should take this opportunity to send troops to Hami."
Zhu Di asked worriedly: "Tuotuo stayed in our court when he was a child, and suddenly returned to Hami to take over as King Zhongshun. Is it possible? You must know that although Anke Timur is dead, his mother is still there, and that woman has a strong right to speak. , plus the leader of Hami has his own position, even if Tuotuo goes back, he may not be able to control the Western Region."
Yang Rong smiled and asked: "What does it matter?"
Zhu Di looked at the smiling Yang Rong, suddenly understood, and extended his thumb: "The emperor has really chosen the right person to appoint you to the Western Regions."
Zhu Yunwen also understood Yang Rong's plan. Tuotuo was a trustee. He went to Hami and succeeded. The Ming Dynasty took the opportunity to extend military power into the Hami area and form de facto control. If Tuotuo could not stand and failed, he would be If the people are killed, it doesn't matter. Ming Dynasty will have an honest reason to march into Hami.
Xu Huizu thought for a moment and asked: "If Tuotuo enters Hami directly with military escort, the original leaders and forces in Hami will not accept it. Unless we have a valid reason."
Zhu Yunwen smiled and said, "Isn't there a reason?"
Xu Huizu was a little confused. Tie Xuan handed the document to Xu Huizu and pointed: "This is the reason why Ming Dynasty sent troops to Hami."
Looking at the document, Xu Huizu nodded repeatedly.
Anke Timur was poisoned to death. No matter who poisoned him from the Guilichi sect, Anke Timur died in the city of Hami. King Zhongshun of the Ming Dynasty was killed. It is normal to send out some troops to investigate. If it is proved that Gui Lichi did it, then it is better to protect Hami.
Tie Xuan was a little worried: "Chen Wei is worried that Guilichi will directly launch a war and occupy Hami!"
Zhu Yunwen looked at Zhu Di, Xu Huizu and Yang Rong who had the same worries, stood up and said loudly: "It is useless to speculate here. If the Tatars really occupy Hami, it will be a direct declaration of war against the Ming Dynasty! I am determined to conquer the Western Regions It will not change, even if Timur, Oara, and Tatar come together, the Western Regions must return to the Ming Dynasty!"
Yang Rong looked at the arrogant Zhu Yunwen, and a ball of fire ignited in his heart. If he was so ambitious, he would be able to do something big in the Western Regions!
The sea, the unnamed island.
Seven or eight small ships slowly docked under the cover of night. Chen Zuyi stood on the bow of the ship, his eyes gloomy and cold. Seeing that the ship was only three feet away from the shore, he drew his sword and raised a torch beside him. It shook for a moment, then went out.
"Plop!"
A series of dense sounds came out, and figures jumped in the sea water, waving steel knives in their hands, and stepped on the sea water to the shore.
"Remember, the leader must die, and the others will stay if they can!"
Chen Zuyi repeated again.
Chen Shiliang, Chen Sancai, Lu Daobao and others nodded repeatedly, and then led their men to kill on the island.
The island is not big, with a radius of less than two miles, and there are not many pirates stationed here, only about 200 and five leaders.
Panic sounds came out, followed by shrill screams, and the island was awakened.
"Haha, kill!"
Chen Zuyi rushed to the front, enjoying the pleasure of killing and looting to his heart's content.
The pirates on the island were really no match for Chen Zuyi's more than 180 people. In addition, there was a sudden night attack, and there was no way to organize a strong resistance. They were quickly defeated, the leader was killed, and all the pirates became Chen Zuyi's. captive.
Chen Zuyi ordered the prisoners to be escorted over. He pulled the robbed woman into his arms and lowered his head suddenly. Amidst the woman's screams, all the pirates laughed.
"Ask them one by one. If they don't want to surrender to us, send them to see the Sea Dragon King."
Chen Zuyi sat on the stone and gave the order.
Chen Shiliang signaled for ten people to be called over and asked whether they wanted to surrender to the Nanyang King. As expected, most of them were good men and they did not suffer the immediate loss. They surrendered as soon as they lowered their heads.
Chen Zuyi smiled. Pirates are the toughest beings in the world. Zheng He's fleet was so powerful that he lost many of his main forces, but so what? As long as you are alive, you can form a team at any time!
There are many pirates, and he knows where they are hiding. He only needs to kill them and recruit them to surrender, and he can get batches of subordinates. Although these people don't have much fighting power, they will still work hard when life and death are at stake.
If you don't work hard for yourself, you will die. If you work hard, you may still survive.
Once you join a pirate, you will always be a pirate. If you want to clear your name and wash your hands in a golden basin, you must first grab a golden basin...
Groups of people surrendered.
When another group of prisoners were sent over, someone suddenly started struggling and shouted: "Get rid of your mother, Le Shao Pai!"
When Lu Daobao saw this, he was immediately happy. There was actually a man who dared to resist. Just as he was about to pull out the knife, Chen Zuyi scolded him: "Back off!"
Lu Daobao looked at Chen Zuyi in confusion. Chen Zuyi came over, looked at the man in front of him, and communicated in words that Lu Daobao couldn't understand. Suddenly, Chen Zuyi laughed loudly, pointed at the man and shouted: "You lied to me. !”
As he said that, he took out the knife from his waist and slashed directly.
puff!
The knife entered the shoulder, and the blood was stained!
The big man gritted his teeth and cursed Chen Zuyi. When Chen Zuyi saw that the other party did not dodge at all, nor did he have much martial arts, his tendons were all black, and he still smelled fishy, he couldn't help but frown, sheathed the knife and apologized: "Brother, I have already It’s been a long time since I saw you, fellow countryman. You’re so good. Come hang out with me from now on!”
"Bah, I still want to go fishing, let me and my brother go!"
"Oh, you still have brothers, where are they?"
"Nonsense, it's in the back!"
"Oh, bring it up!"
Chen Zuyi looked at a thin young man carefully and couldn't help frowning: "You are a fisherman with your body?"
"I, I want to be a scholar, I won't keep fishing."
The young man said nervously, his face full of fear of Chen Zuyi, and his feet subconsciously stepped back.
Chen Zuyi looked at the big man and said, "You are pirates now. What is your name?"
"We are not pirates, we are good citizens of Chaoshan!"
shouted the big man.
"Brother, big brother, well done. As the ancients said, you can't bend with force. Big brother, why are you kneeling down? We must stand upright..."
"You are very brave!"
Chen Zuyi put the knife on the young man's neck, then slapped the young man's face with the blade, and said with a smile: "Can't you bend with force? Your eldest brother has already knelt down, are you going to kneel down?"
"Big, big brother, please bow to me."
The young man's legs went weak and he immediately knelt down, his forehead touching the ground. A cold light suddenly flashed through his fearful eyes, and then disappeared.
