Daming: You are really my eldest son

Chapter 87 Good News
The unique way of getting along with Zhu Yuanzhang and his son that day left an unforgettable impression on many Wu Xun.

In the next few days, Zhu Yuanzhang seemed to intend to establish Zhu Ji's right to speak in the Governor's Mansion. Zhu Yuanzhang seemed to have completely forgotten about the newly established yamen, and never entered Wu Wang's Mansion again.

As for Zhu Ji, who is willing to admit defeat, he has not encountered any important military affairs that are difficult to deal with during his personal leave these days.

The most important foreign enemies of Ming Dynasty today are the remnants of Yuan Yuan.

In the south of Caiyun, the generals of the Huguang and Sichuan-Shaanxi command divisions are staring at them.As for the most important northern border town, not to mention several high-ranking officials from the remnants of the Yuan Dynasty successively came to serve, and many martial arts have won small-scale victories one after another under Xu Da's command.

But what really allowed Zhu Ji to completely establish his position in the hearts of these martial artists was the battle report from Japan.

It has to be mentioned that the combat power of the Ming army is definitely the strongest at that time.

Before it was Zhou Dexing's turn to lead the infantry, the Daming Navy, under the leadership of Zhenhai Hou Wuzhen, captured the entire Kyushu Island area within three days after the ships docked.

Using this as a base for follow-up reinforcements, two days later, the area Zhu Ji pointed out on the map was completely occupied.

If it hadn't been for Zhou Dexing's desire to surrender without a fight, the army would have almost reached Xuanwenxi's so-called capital of the Northern Dynasty at the same time the news of victory came.

While delivering the good news, Zhou Dexing also asked for instructions on the next arrangements.

Chang Mao naturally wanted to tell Zhu Yuanzhang about this matter of boosting the prestige of the Ming Dynasty as soon as possible, and he wanted to invite Zhu Yuanzhang to the Governor's Mansion to beat drums and have a discussion with the generals. Liwei's determination is really a bit high on the status of the small country of Dongying in Zhu Yuanzhang's heart.

"We still have to summon the envoy sent by brother-in-law Jian Zangbu, and the matter of Dongying will be dealt with by King Yong."

In the hall, many military officers watched Chang Mao aggrievedly recount Zhu Yuanzhang's original words, and many generals who couldn't hold back their laughter laughed out loud.

"Zhou Dexing is in a hurry to make His Majesty think of him. He took up a lot of space and rushed over to ask for credit. If we were allowed to go there, we would be ashamed to announce this success unless we take down the whole of Dongpu."

Geng Bingwen didn't care about Chang Mao's embarrassment. Standing behind Feng Sheng, he grinned at Zhu Ji loudly and shouted:
"Your Highness, you and His Majesty have agreed on the matter of the Great Eastern Ocean. What to do next, you can directly tell that guy Zhou Dexing. If it doesn't work, send me there too."

Some of these masters living in the capital are too old, and some are purely because Zhu Yuanzhang doesn't want to find work for them.

Now being driven by Zhu Yuanzhang to the small school field to practice for a few days, I only feel itchy all over my body, and I want to enjoy the thrill of fighting on the battlefield.

Obviously, there is no place in today's Ming Dynasty where they deliberately let them vent so wantonly. Just in order to please Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhou Dexing held down the front of the soldiers who attacked Dongpu. Not only Geng Bingwen, but even Zhu Liangzu's eyes showed expectations.

Instead of Zhu Yuanzhang sitting on the chair at the top of the court hall, Zhu Ji read Zhou Dexing's success report in detail, and threw it on the case angrily.

Geng Bingwen was right, Zhou Dexing just wanted to contribute.

Although their father and son had the strongest purpose for Iwami Yinzan when they formulated strategies with these nobles, but they stopped the attack without authorization under such difficult conditions for food and grass transshipment, and instead contributed to it. Zhu Ji felt that it was necessary for this Jiang Xiahou understood how big a mistake he had made.

Seeing that Zhu Ji's face was cloudy and uncertain, Li Wenzhong, who was standing at the front of the train, stopped the vernacular words of several Wu Xun with his eyes at the right time, and then stood out of the train and bowed and asked:

"Your Highness, what's the problem?"

Zhu Ji, who was used to the noisy atmosphere, suddenly came to his senses in the sudden silence of the hall. Hearing Li Wenzhong's question, Zhu Ji said with a bit of annoyance while relaxing his expression:

"The problem lies in Zhou Dexing's delivery of the good news."

"You may not know why my father suddenly ordered to attack Dongying, but today I will tell you that there are abundant silver mines in the Iwami Mountain area, and as long as there are enough people, it is easy to produce a million taels of silver a year.

For the sake of Daming's foundation, Dongying must be subordinated to my kingship.So knowing that the national treasury is now empty, the father still brazenly launched this war that seemed to be an unknown battle in the eyes of civil officials. "

Hearing what Zhu Ji said, Feng Sheng, who knew that Zhu Ji was called a natural saint by Zhu Yuanzhang, was not too surprised. He just marveled that there is such a large amount of silver mines in the small land of Dongying.

But Li Wenzhong and the other warriors couldn't accept it.

"Your Highness...Your Highness, I heard you right, what you said just now is the annual output of one million taels of silver?"

It's no wonder that Wu Xun, who asked questions, was a little hesitant.

Listening to those civil servants arguing in the court every day, these warriors more or less know that now the annual silver tax of Daming is only tens of thousands of taels. According to the ratio of silver tax to ten taxes and three to three, that is to say, the annual output of a silver mine in Dongying, It is more than the actual annual output of all the silver mines in Daming combined.

All eyes were on Zhu Ji, and when they saw Zhu Ji nodding slowly, the expressions of these warriors were exactly the same as that of Zhu Yuanzhang that day.

"Zhou Dexing's killing talents is really not a son of man. For such a silver mountain, it would not be an exaggeration to slaughter the small country of Dongying. He dared to delay the military aircraft like this."

Li Wenzhong immediately understood why Zhu Ji's expression was cloudy just now.

Co-authoring my cousin also gets angry sometimes.

But the next step is to see how His Royal Highness King Yong, who is angry, will deal with this matter.

The noisy Chaodian regained its calm in an instant with Zhu Ji's light cough. Looking at the warriors with burning eyes under the imperial steps, Zhu Ji's expression suddenly became serious:

"Zhou Dexing didn't know about this in advance, so I will only pursue him for the crime of delaying the military plan. Immediately recall Zhou Dexing, Marquis of Jiangxia, and Liao Yongzhong, Marquis of Deqing, will take over his position as the commander-in-chief of the infantry."

"In addition, Zhou Dexing's covetousness and flattery will delay the military plane, he will be fined for two years, and will be confined in the mansion for three months. In the future, when setting up military generals, he will be reduced by two ranks, so as to imitate others."

The establishment of the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion was a bit sudden. Although the structure has been established, the generals still share a set of scattered steps with the civilian officials.

For example, Zhou Dexing, now the Sanjie is from the first-rank Ronglu doctor, the honor rank is from the first-rank Zhuguo, and the lord is Jiang Xiahou.

In order for the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion to stand side by side with the civil service system in a true sense, Zhu Ji still decided to suggest to Zhu Yuanzhang to create another set of scattered steps exclusive to generals.Obviously, Zhou Dexing's unsatisfactory performance has already been written down in Zhu Ji's notebook.
