Daming: From the end of Hongwu

Chapter 352 350- Does Daming have such a hero?
There are other beautiful scenery on both sides of the Tumen River, and it is not too close to the Suzi River.

Zhen Wu considered that in the past, there was a high probability that he would have to deal with many tribes, or travel for a long time, and it would be inconvenient to bring Jin'er and other female relatives with him, so he asked people to send Jin'er and others back to Liaodong Resettlement, and left Ma Yi and others as caretakers.

In addition, it was Meng Shan who guarded Liaodong, and Meng Shan was Zhen Wu's lieutenant general at the time of Jing Nan, and now that Jin'er and others were placed in Liaodong, Zhen Wu felt at ease and relieved him of any worries.

As for other matters such as the opening of the horse market, after Li Chengshan and his son left, Zhen Wu recruited Liaodong officials to make all the arrangements and instructions.

Then, there was nothing to say all night.

In the early morning of the second day, Zhen Wu led Cheng Liang and other guards, together with Li Chengshan, father and son, and headed towards Meng Temu's tribe on horseback.

They ran fast all the way, and only slowed down when they came close to Meng Temu's tribe.

Li Chengshan familiarly introduced the situation on both sides of the Tumen River to Zhen Wu, whether it was the terrain, style, or the other small tribes stationed near the Tumen River area, they were all familiar, and even how many tribes there were in those small tribes. Li Chengshan also knows almost everything.

Zhen Wu remembered what Li Chengshan said in his heart, and at the same time, he had some complaints about this old guy. It is estimated that Li Chengshan paid attention here.

Perhaps Li Chengshan's attachment to Daming was because he knew that he was not strong enough, and wanted to annex these tribes with the help of Daming.

But this is also good, after the Han people are stationed here, they can also take advantage of the mutual conquests between these tribes to annex and grow.

Later, Zhen Wu and Li Chengshan chatted about Meng Temu.

Meng Temu is the largest tribe in the Tumen River Basin. For Zhen Wu, he naturally hopes that Meng Temu can belong to Ming Dynasty. The small tribes naturally attached themselves.

Then, as the power grew, it gradually affected the Haixi Jurchen and the Savage Jurchen, and let them also come over.

At that time, Zhen Wu can use the Jurchen's attachment to influence the various tribes in the Nuergan area, and even unite vertically and horizontally to unify the entire Northeast, so that he can gain a certain advantage in the future battle with Mongolia.

It's like rolling a snowball, making the snowball bigger and bigger little by little.

What Zhen Wu has to do now is to find a way to roll the snowball.

However, Meng Temu does not seem to intend to cooperate.

When Zhen Wu and others came to Meng Temu's tribe, they received a cold nail. Meng Temu didn't come out to greet them at all. Only Meng Temu's younger brother Fancha came out to greet Zhen Wu and others.

Li Chengshan's face sank at that moment.

"Fancha, where's Meng Temu?"

Fancha's face was a little embarrassed, and he stammered that Meng Temu was not in the tribe, but before he finished speaking, Li Chengshan roared angrily: "What's the use of you talking about this with me, since he is no longer in the tribe, then you Tell me, where is he?"

Li Chengshan is the elders of the Meng Temu brothers. He thought it would be a sure thing to come here to persuade Meng Temu in person, but he didn't expect to be so humiliated in front of Zhen Wu just after arriving here, how could he not be angry.

Fan Cha saw that Li Chengshan was angry, and a few tangles appeared on his face, but when he saw that Li Chengshan was about to lose his temper, he finally pointed to the east, and replied honestly: "Watching the clansman wrestling on the grass over there. "

"Lead the way." Li Chengshan said with a dark face.

Fan Cha was reluctant, and took a peek at Zhen Wu, then whispered next to Li Chengshan: "The North Korean envoy is also over there."

Li Chengshan's eyes widened in an instant, and he pointed at Fancha and cursed in a low voice: "Meng Temu is confused, are you confused too? Don't care what North Korean he is at this time."

After finishing speaking, Li Chengshan turned his head to look at Zhen Wu, and said hastily, "Your Majesty, don't worry, I will explain the strengths to Meng Temu and clarify the pros and cons."

Zhen Wu nodded.

Only then did Li Chengshan look at Fancha again and scolded: "If you don't lead the way, if you continue to grind, don't blame me for not saving face for you."

Van Cha sighed.

He had no choice but to take Zhen Wu and his party towards Meng Temu.

I don't know what day it is today, maybe there is something to say, maybe there is no, anyway, after a while, Zhen Wu saw a group of people from the Meng Temu tribe gathered together and having a good time.

The most conspicuous of them was an open space where two big men were wrestling with each other, trying to throw each other out.

And Zhen Wu didn't know why, but for the first time saw a girl full of youth, vigorously running around the open space, running back and forth and cheering.

The girl is not short, about 1.7 meters tall, and with her colorful clothes, she looks like a beautiful sika deer when she jumps.

Zhen Wu took the opportunity to ask Shi Jianu: "Is that girl Di Jiya you mentioned?"

Shi Kanu followed Zhen Wu's gaze, nodded, and then said with a little pride: "It is indeed Di Jiya, what does the Duke think, she is recognized as the most beautiful flower among our many tribes, if it wasn't for Meng Temu's tribe is strong enough, it must have been snatched away long ago."

Zhen Wu nodded. In fact, Zhen Wu didn't have any intuitive feelings about how beautiful Di Jiya was. Speaking of which, the first time Zhen Wu noticed Di Jiya was because of the bright colors of the clothes she wore. God Ji Ya is more youthful, so it's just conspicuous.

But the attractiveness of this kind of girl has always been good, at least at this moment Zhen Wu saw Di Jiya followed by many teenagers running after her.

At this time, Zhen Wu and others had already walked over.

Meng Temu could no longer pretend to turn a blind eye. He brought the North Korean envoys to greet him. He met Li Chengshan first, and then met Zhen Wu solemnly under Li Chengshan's introduction.

Zhen Wu nodded as a greeting to Meng Temu, and then turned his attention to the North Korean envoy.

This person looks a little gentle and has a good appearance, so it's no wonder that Di Jiya fell in love with this person in just a few days, he has a good skin.

And according to what Shi Jianu said, this person is called Li Wenshu, and it seems that he can be hooked up with the Lee family of North Korea. Even if he is not a child of the royal family, he can at least be regarded as a child of a famous family. He will pay special attention to this Li Wenshu.

At this moment, when Zhen Wu looked at Li Wenshu, the atmosphere in the field suddenly had a different flavor.

Because everyone knew that Zhen Wu came here because he wanted Meng Temu's tribe to belong to Ming Dynasty, and Li Wenshu came because he didn't want Meng Temu's tribe to belong to Daming.

There is bound to be no harmony between the two.

Speaking of it, although North Korea is a vassal state of Ming Dynasty, when it comes to important matters related to the border, for their own interests, they will never willingly obey Ming's arrangements.

Zhen Wu understands this, and at the same time understands that tit for tat with Li Wenshu cannot be avoided.

So Zhen Wu's eyes on Li Wenshu naturally turned cold, and even his aura of leading troops for many years also pressed on Li Wenshu.

Li Wenshu was the first to be unable to bear Zhen Wu's eyes. He bowed down and bowed to Zhen Wu, saying, "Meet Zhao Guogong."

It has been almost a year since Zhu Di sat on the throne, enough for the surrounding forces to understand the current distribution of power in Ming Dynasty, so he is naturally no stranger to Zhen Wu, who occupies a large part of the pie.

Zhen Wu's face was just calm, he didn't speak, and he didn't let Li Wenshu get up.

Meng Temu and the others beside him were shocked.

He couldn't help thinking, this Zhao Guogong is straightforward enough, just after meeting with Li Wenshu, he unabashedly used his little tricks to embarrass Li Wenshu.

In the open space not far away, the big men on both sides had stopped wrestling, and everyone focused on Zhen Wu and the others. Di Jiya raised her eyebrows when she saw her sweetheart being embarrassed by Zhen Wu, and planned to rush over to replace him. The sweetheart fights against injustice.

But just as she made a move, she was held back by others.

"Hey, my aunt, we can't go there now. That is the Duke of Ming Dynasty. It is not a trivial matter to run into him."

Di Jiya was annoyed: "Is the Duke of Ming Dynasty able to bully people like this? How can I let him be so arrogant and domineering at the door of my house? See if I'm afraid of him."

This sentence scared the hearts of all the friends around her.

Now that Daming's national strength is unparalleled, and they are not Mongolia, how dare they provoke Daming.

But fortunately, at this time Meng Temu jumped out to smooth things over, and introduced Li Wenshu to Zhen Wu as his distinguished guest with a smile.

Only then did Zhen Wu's expression soften a lot, and he said to Li Wenshu lightly: "For Brother Meng Temu's sake, don't blame you, get up, and when you go back to your country, remember to give I send my greetings to Cheng Shilin, the Prime Minister of the Right Government."

Cheng Shilin, who served as the right government official in North Korea, went to Nanjing as a North Korean envoy to pay tribute at the beginning of the year. Zhen Wu and Cheng Shilin also had a relationship on several occasions. Cheng Shilin was considered an important figure in the Korean Kingdom. , at least a hundred times more important than when Zhen Wu looked at the Korean files, he couldn't even see the name Li Wenshu.

When Cheng Shilin saw Zhen Wu, he had to perform an official ceremony, let alone Li Wenshu.

Zhen Wu felt that a few words with Li Wenshu would be regarded as embarrassing to Li Wenshu.

More importantly, North Korea is a country with a small problem. From the Wang Dynasty to their Lee Dynasty, they don’t feel safe if they don’t recognize a big brother. Now North Korea is licking its face and wants to recognize Daming as a big brother. How dare it be with Zhen Wudang? Turning faces.

Therefore, at this moment Li Wenshu listened to Zhen Wu's words, even though his heart was already filled with anger because of Zhen Wu's tone, Li Wenshu still nodded honestly in the end.

This was beyond Meng Temu's expectation.

Although Meng Temu had heard a lot about the power of the Ming Dynasty in the past, and had seen the Ming conquer the northern grasslands and Liaodong, after all, knives were rarely placed on their heads, so he didn't have a specific concept of how powerful the Ming Dynasty was. Many, they have a deep understanding of North Korea's hegemony.

He originally thought that even if Li Wenshu couldn't compare to Zhen Wu, he wouldn't be as powerful as Zhen Wu.

But seeing this scene now, Meng Temu couldn't help being speechless.

Li Wenshu, who was flaunting his power in his tribe, was arrogant and arrogant. After seeing Zhen Wu, Zhen Wu refused to let him get up, so honestly he didn't dare to get up.

This time stimulated Meng Temu.

Immediately.

Meng Temu's attitude towards Zhen Wu went up several notches.

However, Zhen Wu felt a little boring. With his back against Daming, he couldn't feel any sense of accomplishment in front of these younger brothers. In contrast, he still liked the unruly Mongolian brothers.

"Let's go, let's go over and see the excitement." Zhen Wu said.

Meng Temu and others immediately walked around Zhen Wu and walked inside, and Meng Temu even introduced to Zhen Wu their wrestling activities today.

There are tents, tables and seats next to the wrestling space.

After Zhen Wu and the others were seated, Zhen Wu looked at Li Wenshu again, and he asked, "I heard that North Korea intends to prevent the Jurchen ministries from attaching to me, Daming?"

"Guogong misunderstood, how dare we do this, but..." Li Wenshu paused for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said firmly: "It's just that the Jurchen ministries should always decide for themselves whether to attach themselves to Da Ming, Da Ming It is a great country, and it has always been a country of etiquette, so it must not be because of the rejection of Jurchen's various ministries, so it will use weapons."

Zhen Wu raised his eyebrows. He didn't expect Li Wenshu to be so bloody, and dare to play tricks with him in front of him.

No wonder you can come here as an envoy.

However, it doesn't matter.

In the face of absolute strength, everything is in vain.

Zhen Wu glanced at Meng Temu indifferently, then turned around and said, "You are right, let Meng Temu make his own decision."

After finishing speaking, Zhen Wu looked at Li Chengshan and said, "Then trouble Commander Li to talk to Meng Temu and explain the details. As for me, I will take this time to watch our Jurchens wrestle."

Li Chengshan said: "Since the Duke is interested, you can go there. I can talk with Meng Temu in detail. If necessary, let someone ask the Duke for advice."

Zhen Wu nodded, then looked around at the others and said, "Let's go and have a look together?"

Shikanu was most interested in this matter and immediately agreed.

Zhen Wu got up with Shi Jianu and others, then turned to look at Li Wenshu and said, "You should come here too. Since the Jurchen ministries are allowed to make their own decisions, if you are here, it will inevitably affect other people's judgments. Why don't you go and see with me?" Watch wrestling, and you can have a lot of fun."

Li Wenshu's face turned ugly. He looked at Meng Temu and then at Li Chengshan.

Meng Temu's understanding of Daming is relatively shallow, but Li Chengshan has a deep understanding of Daming. With Li Chengshan's persuasion, there is no guarantee of Meng Temu's attitude.

But under Zhen Wu's gaze, he couldn't do anything, so he followed Zhen Wu to the open space with an ugly expression.

On the way, Zhen Wu casually asked Li Wenshu something.

His contemptuous tone made Li Wenshu's complexion even more ugly, and at the same time, the anger in his heart became more and more intense, and he was determined to find a way to make Zhen Wu return without success.

Di Jiya, who has been paying attention to this side all the time, saw that Zhen Wu kept embarrassing her sweetheart, the anger in her heart could not be contained first, she only felt that Zhen Wu was a villain who bullied others, no matter how she looked at it, she hated it .

And it's still in her territory, how can she endure it.

Immediately, Di Jiya jumped out angrily, pointed at Zhen Wu and scolded in a charming voice: "Hey, what kind of prince are you, I think you look good, why do you only do things that bully others?" ?”

Zhen Wu was taken aback.

Just at this time, a man in the wrestling field with black hair on his chest like a breastplate roared and threw his opponent out.

Digiya cheered with flying eyebrows, pointed at Zhen Wu again, raised her eyebrows and said proudly: "I know you came here to want our tribe to belong to you, Da Ming, but you think you can make it easy just by talking casually?" Do we obey you, let me ask you, does your Daming have such a hero?"

Zhen Wu looked at the man in the arena. The twisted muscle lines on his arms are enough to prove that this man's strength is extraordinary, but...in Zhen Wu's eyes, it seems to be nothing more than that.

"Is this a good man in your eyes? But in my Ming Dynasty, he is nothing more than mediocre." Zhen Wu said lightly.

"You're bragging." Di Jiya snorted and said, "I didn't expect that you would not only bully others, but also speak boldly. Aren't you afraid to make people laugh at what you say?"

There was indeed laughter of disbelief all around.

Zhen Wu looked around, and found that everyone in the Meng Temu tribe had a look of disdain for Zhen Wu's words. Their eyes were full of confidence and pride in their family's hero, and they didn't believe that Da Ming could find someone better than them. A better man than a hero.

And many people even had indignation in their eyes. If it wasn't for Daming's national power, they would have sprayed madly at Zhen Wu long ago.

The frog at the bottom of the well.

Zhen Wu sighed in his heart.

At this time, Li Wenshu added fuel to the fire with malicious intentions: "I heard that Mr. Zhao is unparalleled in bravery. I wonder if there is a chance for me to see the bravery of Mr. Zhao of the Ming Dynasty today? Of course, if Mr. Zhao is afraid of losing to the people in the field, You can also re-select your opponent, presumably no one will gossip about the Duke.”

Di Jiya's eyes lit up: "That's right, if you have the ability, you can compete in the next game. Don't always show off your villain's tongue, which is annoying."

As soon as this was said, some members of the Meng Temu tribe couldn't bear it any longer, and immediately started booing one by one to ask Zhen Wu to end the competition.

They were noisy and lively, as if they were afraid that Zhen Wu would be scared, and they just wanted to make Zhen Wu end.

Even Siganu who was beside Zhen Wu secretly began to look forward to it.

He always heard his father talk about Zhen Wu's strength, but since Zhen Wu went to his tribe, he never showed any force, which made him a little puzzled, he is also a first-class hero in his tribe.

He really wanted to know how powerful what his father said was, and how powerful it was, so powerful that his father told him not to provoke Zhen Wu in every possible way.

Is it possible that it can be more powerful than he imagined?

Sikannu didn't believe it at all.
