I want to be a grandson

Chapter 593 The Suffering of Loneliness...

"Your Majesty, Cao Guogong Li Jinglong is waiting outside the hall to see you."

In the palace, Zhu Yunxi washed his face after lunch break, and then listened to Wang Zhong's report.

"Well, let him in."

"Yes, slaves obey."

"My minister pays homage to His Majesty, Your Majesty bows!" Li Jinglong saluted.

"Get up and talk, come and show Cao Guogong a seat."

"Thank you, Your Majesty..."

The little eunuch moved the brocade stool, and Li Jinglong sat on it carefully after saluting.

He took the initiative to say: "Your Majesty, I have been ordered to go to Henan to train troops, and today I am here to report to Your Majesty."

Zhu Yunxi nodded and asked, "How about the soldiers and horses in Henan? Are there any slack in the guards?"

Li Jinglong then told what he had seen and heard about his military training in Henan and the situation in the guard, and finally he did not forget to flatter him.

Through other means, Zhu Yunxi knew that his military training was still very good, that he could be dedicated to his duties, and he was not as stupid as the historical rumors at all.

After talking for a while, Wang Zhongjin reported, "Your Majesty, the Supreme Emperor is ready..."

Li Jinglong hurriedly said very wittily, "If Your Majesty has no other orders, then I will leave..."

But Zhu Yunxi said, "I'm going to go to Xuanwu Lake with Grandpa Huang later, so you should go too."

Of course, Li Jinglong didn't want to be suspicious of himself, so he quickly declined, claiming that he didn't want to disturb, but Zhu Yunxi said, "We are all a family, cousin, you don't have to be polite, it just so happens that Grandpa Huang hasn't seen you for a while."

"Yes, I obey. Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness." Li Jinglong didn't know that being able to accompany the emperor and the Supreme Emperor to go out was a sign of grace, so his heart gradually warmed up.

Previously, because my wife spoke inappropriately in front of the empress, I was neglected during that time. This time, His Majesty invited me to travel with me, which is a sign of being trusted again!

Zhu Yunxi changed into casual clothes, and asked someone to find Li Jinglong to change into, which made him even more excited.

Xuanwu Lake, in the northwest direction of the imperial city, came to Dashan Hall to pick up Zhu Yuanzhang, and the group left the imperial city from Xuanwu Gate in a carriage.

When you come to Xuanwu Lake, what you see is the crystal clear lake water. The lake water is so quiet and calm, you can't feel it flowing at all.

If you look at it from a distance, the lake looks like a flawless emerald. In the shallow water, you can clearly see the stones at the bottom of the lake and the fish swimming in the water.

There are flying birds flying over the lake, some are drinking water here, some plunge into the water, and then swallow a small fish into their stomachs...

There are green and lush weeds growing on the shore, and there are also wild flowers dotted, which is very beautiful and pleasing to the eye.

Zhu Yunxi accompanied Zhu Yuanzhang along the lakeshore, talking while walking, while Li Jinglong followed closely.

Zhu Yuanzhang turned back and said, "Jing Long, what were you busy with a while ago, we haven't seen you, and haven't come back for the Chinese New Year?"

Li Jinglong hurried forward, and replied with a smile, "Reporting to the Supreme Emperor, a few days ago, I was on official business with the court. I went to Henan for military training, and I just came back."

Zhu Yuanzhang encouraged him a few words, and then said to Zhu Yunxi, "Wonu Kingdom is fighting hard now?"

"Yes, it's another battle between the North and the South. This time the Southern Dynasty learned how to be smart and won over Ouchi Yoshihiro and others, so it was evenly matched with the Northern Dynasty's strength, and the fight was very anxious..." Zhu Yunxi replied.

Zhu Yuanzhang glared at him, "Without your support, who can they win over in Nanchao? And why?"

"Hehehe, they will have a battle sooner or later. The grandson is just pushing the boat with the flow and sympathizing with the weak, so he can help a little."

"sophistry!"

Zhu Yuanzhang said, "Then you are preparing to send troops?"

Zhu Yunxi replied honestly, "The arrow is on the string, and we have to launch it. Besides, after so long in the Japanese slavery, how can we easily stop it. If we want to completely solve the Japanese pirate rebellion and restore peace to the coastal areas of Ming Dynasty, the Japanese slave country must be resolved. "

Zhu Yuanzhang frowned slightly, and said worriedly, "To solve the problem of Japanese pirates, it is not necessary to destroy their country, right? Over time, the national power will be wasted..."

"Grandfather, don't worry. After many deductions, the grandson will definitely not let the war fall into a quagmire. Taking advantage of the fact that their troops in the North and South Wars are almost exhausted, they will attack in one fell swoop. This is a smooth battle. Not difficult."

"Moreover, the Ming army has been at peace for a long time, and it also needs to fight to maintain its combat power, otherwise it will inevitably give birth to slack."

Zhu Yuanzhang said disapprovingly, "Speaking of which, you just want to destroy the Japanese slave country! They really counted too much, but what makes us curious is why you are so hostile to them..."

Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't figure this out.

Because Zhu Yunxi was very dissatisfied with the Wonu Kingdom from the very beginning, and he wanted to destroy them both inside and out!

Zhu Yuanzhang can feel that this desire to destroy the country is not all because of the Japanese pirates, nor is it because they once asked to marry the princess, but because of the hatred from the heart of his grandson!
And Zhu Yunxi couldn't tell him that the Japanese pirate rebellion would last almost the entire Ming Dynasty, let alone tell him the evil deeds of those beasts!
If you don't take advantage of Daming's strong national power and destroy them when they fall into civil strife, there will be no chance in the future!
This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity that cannot be let go!

Zhu Yuanzhang turned to Li Jinglong and said, "Boy Li, do you think we are right or he is right?"

Li Jinglong: "..."

At this moment, he felt a pain in his throat. Can he participate in such a topic?
This clearly means letting yourself be roasted on the fire!

"Uh, what the Supreme Emperor said is right, and what His Majesty said is also right..." I had no other choice but to practice Tai Chi.

"You kid is also a cunning!" Zhu Yuanzhang said with a smile.

Li Jinglong could only laugh with embarrassment, and gently touched his forehead to wipe off the cold sweat.

As he walked forward, Zhu Yuanzhang said, "Anyway, you are the emperor now, and we can rest assured that you can make decisions on major national affairs. Just do as you think."

"Yes, thank you, Grandpa Huang."

"Thank you for what we did. We don't want to take care of these things, and we don't bother to take care of them. We wanted to fight across the ocean many times before, but in the end we held back after weighing...

Forget it, let's not talk about it, it's rare that you can come out with this old man, we have to take a good look at the scenery of Xuanwu Lake. "

"Hehehe, grandson said to accompany you out of the palace, but you refused, and now you are relying on grandson..."

As for the elderly, they need more company to relieve the pain of loneliness. Zhu Yuanzhang is an old man at the end of his life at this time, so with the company of his grandson, his mood is getting higher and higher.
Looking at the quiet and clear lake, he would squat on the shore to wash his hands and splash water, looking like an old child.

Zhu Yunxi looked at the sunset glow in the west, and said, "Grandfather, it's time to go back to the palace for dinner, why don't we go back?"

"What! We haven't run enough yet!" Zhu Yuanzhang immediately rejected his proposal, but touched his stomach again, "Don't tell me, we are really hungry..."

Looking at the family in the distance, Zhu Yuanzhang said, "Go to the farmer over there and buy two chickens. We will make a beggar chicken for you, so that you can try our craft too.
If I could eat a bite of beggar chicken during the war, it would be so delicious and full of strength to fight the war! "

Li Jinglong volunteered to go to a farmer to buy chickens, and bought some salt and common spices. When he came back, he killed the chickens, washed them with the water in Xuanwu Lake, rolled up his sleeves and started mixing mud, working very hard.

Then he jumped into Xuanwu Lake and picked seven or eight lotus root leaves. Zhu Yuanzhang did it himself, coated the chicken with salt, and wrapped it tightly with lotus leaves.

At this time, Zhu Yunxi had already lit the fire and could start firing.

When the time came, I pushed aside the fire and carefully knocked away the dried mud, and the fragrance immediately came out.

After eating a piece of chicken, it was full of juice, with a lingering fragrance on the lips and teeth, and the salty aroma was delicious. Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Yunxie ate it happily, and they enjoyed it very much.

Poor Li Jinglong can only gnaw a little corner, but even so, he is willing to eat, and it is a great honor to be able to eat the leftovers gnawed by the Supreme Emperor and His Majesty!
The wind and waves in Xuanwu Lake are calm, but the sea in the Western Ocean is very windy and rough at this time.

The waves on the sea were choppy, one wave after another overwhelming the sky, seeming to swallow everything, and the big raindrops fell from the sky into the sea.

At this time, in Longwan, Chen Zuyi's old nest, it was a natural safe haven. Although the boat also swayed with the ups and downs, it would not be damaged and capsized.

In the hall, Chen Zuyi was drinking with the boss below, pushing glasses and changing glasses, you come and go, it's very lively.

Holding the wine glass in his hand, Chen Zuyi said to the other pirates, "Brothers, eat well and drink well. I looked at the storm on the sea. It is estimated that this rain will last for four or five days. When the wind and waves in the sea are calmer the day after tomorrow, we will Send troops immediately, we must take down the fat of the Daming Mission!"

"Master Chen, we all listen to you, we will do whatever you say!"

"As long as there is wine and meat, you can send troops in any way, hahaha..."

One of the pirate leaders asked, "Master Chen, I heard that the ship in the Daming Mission is huge, what if they take advantage of the wind and waves to suddenly attack us!"

Chen Zuyi smiled and said, "You don't need to worry too much! Their boats are big, but they are boats after all. The sea is so stormy and they will capsize if they don't pay attention. They won't seek their own death.
Besides, they rely on guns and artillery, mainly because they are wet by the wind and waves, and they become squibs, so they should be more afraid of rain and wind and waves! "

He added, "I've already arranged secret whistle along the way. As long as they have any troubles, we will receive the news as soon as possible, so brothers, just eat and drink!"

Hearing what he said, everyone was relieved and started drinking happily again.

Shi Jinqing was sitting in the corner drinking wine, the corner of his mouth curled up...

The bean-sized raindrops crackled on the roof, making a lot of noise, which complemented the bustle of the lobby.

……

"Just now I received a letter from Shi Jinqing, he said that Chen Zuyi and others plan to attack us when the wind and waves in the sea are less..."

Inside the camp, Ma He called all the generals to discuss countermeasures.

Wang Yidao, "Instead of letting them come to attack, why don't we take the initiative to attack? Jin Yiwei has already found out the terrain of Longwan. Their boats are small and afraid of wind and waves. They are all nesting in Longwan at this time.
As long as we block the exit with big boats, they will be the turtles in the urn!Not one can escape! "

"That's great, but I'm worried that the wind and waves in the sea will be bad for our boat..." Ma He said worriedly.

Qianhu Liu Tang said, "My lord, we can only let the big boats set out, and the smaller boats stay in the camp, so that we can take the lead. Even if we divide our forces, they are no match for their mob."

"What do you guys mean?" Ma He asked.

Everyone agreed, and Ma He Dangji ordered, "Okay! Then let's take the initiative to catch them all!
Gao Cheng, you lead the Jinyi guards Ma Hui to Second Sister Shi, unplug the guard posts along the way, and you must not give them a chance to react! "

"Yes! I am obedient!"

"Li Hua, Qiao Shan, Tong Wei, you stay in the camp, you must be vigilant at all times, and you must not be negligent! The rest of you will lead the troops to board the ship and set off for Longwan!"

"Yes! Don't obey!"

Everyone immediately acted separately according to the order.

……

"Tnd, it's really hard for us to stand here under such heavy rain, cold and hungry!"

In a wooden hut made of branches by the sea, three pirates built a fire on the ground to drive away the cold.

The floor of the house was wet, with rain dripping from above, and there were many air leaks around, coupled with the cold sea breeze blowing, it was almost chilling.

One pirate complained, "They eat delicious food, drink spicy food, eat and drink good wine and meat, but let us suffer from hunger and cold here, you are really tnd bastards!"

"Okay, if you have the strength, go to the beach and have a look, don't let Daming's warship come..."

"Whoever wants to go, go! I don't suffer from that crime! If you get sick in such a heavy rain, you will die! Besides, they are stupid or something, they have already hidden in the port by now!"

"Don't forget it, let's warm up to the fire, don't talk about those useless things, we are the lives of the little ones..."

The few of them were sentry posts arranged by Chen Zuyi, but they were not in the mood to be on duty in this weather, so each of them took shelter in the small wooden hut.

"Is anyone in the house?"

A crisp female voice sounded, and the three people in the cabin heard that it was Second Sister Shi's voice, and they all lowered their vigilance.

Second Sister Shi came in through the wooden door wearing a coir raincoat, looked at them and said, "Didn't I let you watch the Ming warship? What are you all doing here! Are there other guard posts by the sea?"

"This...Second Sister Shi, the wind and rain are too heavy outside, we are here to take shelter from the rain, so let's go to the beach and watch..."

Under the indifferent gaze of Second Sister Shi, the three quickly got up from the ground, grabbed their ponchos and were about to leave.

At this moment, Second Sister Shi suddenly got into trouble, and she pulled out her dagger and stabbed a pirate in the back. Before the other two pirates could react, they were wiped across their necks by Jin Yiwei, who was blocking the door...
