I Am the Grandson of the Second Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, Earning 100 Million Taels at the Beginn

Chapter 163 Zhu Zhangui: Second uncle, I also want to put you in a jar.

"Hurry up, brothers in front, there are still a lot of people waiting to board the boat!"

"One, two, three... use your strength!"

"Pay attention to the muzzle of the artillery, don't hit the ship!"

At the mouth of the Yangtze River, hundreds of warships dock here.

On the surface of the sea, small boats were filled with soldiers from the Shenji Battalion, densely covering the entire sea surface.

The boatmen paddled their oars vigorously, transporting batches of fully armed soldiers of the Shenji Battalion to the boat.

"My mother, this boat is so big, bigger than my house!"

A northern soldier, holding the side of the swaying boat, looked at the huge blessing boat in front of him, and couldn't help but exclaimed.

"Haha, let me tell you, little six, this boat is not only big, but also very comfortable to sit on."

A former guard battalion soldier suppressed a smile and patted Little Six on the shoulder.

As an old man, he knew all too well the horrors of being in a boat at sea.

As a southerner, when he first boarded the boat, he was so dizzy that he couldn't even stand upright.

This northerner named Xiaoliuzi can imagine what kind of tragedy it will be in the next few days.

"Your Majesty, Li Hu, sees Your Highness!"

When the soldiers boarded the ship and the dock delivered the artillery to the warship.

On the Fuchuan, the flagship of the Ming Navy, a short man with a height of only 1 meters and a muscular body, leading a group of officers, strode up to Zhu Zhangui who boarded the ship, knelt down and saluted.

"Hahaha, long time no see for the dwarf tiger."

Looking at his favorite general whom he hadn't seen for nearly two years, Zhu Zhangui laughed and stepped forward to help him up.

"Hehe, yes Your Highness, it has been two years."

After the short man got up, he scratched his head with a silly smile.

Li Hu, the commander-in-chief of the Ming Navy, was one of Zhu Zhangui's first subordinates.

He used to be a thousand households in Zheng He's fleet, and was seriously ill while sailing at sea, and was rescued by Zhu Zhangui.

Since then, the short man has been following Zhu Zhangui.

During the battle at sea, this short man always went forward bravely, and the hearts of all the overseas races who killed him along the way were terrified.

After returning to Daming, Zhu Zhangui handed over the management of the fleet to him, and reported to the Ministry of War the team of the Ming Navy, and promoted him to the position of chief officer of the Ming Navy.

Li Hu also lived up to Zhu Zhangui's great trust, and he trained the naval forces impressively.

At the same time, in the past two years, under Zhu Zhangui's money offensive, Li Hu reorganized and adjusted the original warships of different types, so that the Ming Navy had the appearance of a regular navy.

After communicating with the navy's favorite generals, Zhu Zhangui walked to the side of the ship, looked at the Shenji Camp who were boarding the ship, and asked Li Hu about the ships docked with artillery.

"When will it be finished!"

Li Hu seemed to have been prepared for a long time, and quickly replied.

"The soldiers can all board the ship at noon, the artillery side may be slower, and it is estimated that it will be dark."

Zhu Zhangui asked again.

"How about the fleet's artillery equipment?"

Li Hu cupped his hands and replied.

"The equipment is [-]% ready, and the last batch will take two months to be delivered to the craftsman camp."

"But our fleet artillery is enough for now."

Li Hu raised his chin slightly, and proudly said to Zhu Zhangui: "Your Highness, with the current powerful firepower of our fleet, we are kings above this sea."

"Hahaha…"

Zhu Zhangui laughed in satisfaction, raised his hand and punched the dwarf tiger behind him.

"What I want is your arrogance, but you should not take it lightly, the enemy is not made of mud, be careful that the boat capsizes in the gutter!"

Li Hu smiled foolishly.

"Subordinates obey!"

After staying on the side of the ship for a while, Zhu Zhangui brought the generals of the Navy and Shenji Battalion to the meeting room.

Entering the meeting room, officers from the Shenji Battalion and the Navy sat down on two sides.

The general of the Shenji Battalion who came out of the guard camp before, winked and greeted the friends on the opposite side.

And those who were originally the generals of the Shenji Battalion, who were not familiar with the navy, just nodded in a friendly manner, as if they were familiar.

"Brothers, this time our task is very heavy."

After everyone was seated, Zhu Zhangui looked at everyone with a serious expression and began to speak.

The generals of the two parties below each looked solemn, holding a pen in one hand and a small notebook in the other, listening carefully to Zhu Zhangui's narration.

"This time we have two combat objectives, of course, it can also be called three!"

Getting up and walking to a huge map behind him, Zhu Zhangui picked up the baton and pointed to the location of Wa Kingdom and Ah San Kingdom.

"These two places are our goals for the next two years."

"It's just that the plans for attacking these two places are different."

Pointing to the location of Wa Kingdom, Zhu Zhangui looked at everyone and said: "We will not occupy here for the time being, but will carry out some looting like we used to go to sea."

"Although it is said to be looting, we have a place that must be occupied, and it is the kind of unconditional occupation."

Zhu Zhangui clicked on a certain location.

"It's here! Izumo of the Japanese country, no matter what the price is, we must take this place of Izumo."

"And, there is no one alive here except us!"

None of the generals cared about this cold order.

Killing is already commonplace for them.

Carefully staring at the location of the map, the generals wrote down the name of the place in the small notebooks they carried, and noted the massacre at the back.

Zhu Zhangui not only asked his housekeepers to carry small notebooks with him, but his generals also had to develop the habit of taking notes with them.

Especially for the navy, it is necessary to frequently detect various sea lines and new islands. This habit is very useful.

"Except for this one that must be occupied, other places are dominated by looting."

"All rebels will be shot to death."

Throwing away the baton casually, Zhu Zhangui looked at all the generals and said indifferently.

"Anyway, you just don't want to treat these little pumpkins as human beings. You can do whatever you want!"

The generals were instantly happy.

This is their favorite.

Seeing the smiles on everyone's faces, Zhu Zhangui reminded everyone seriously.

"However, I can explain in advance that the methods of torturing people are only allowed to be used on these small Wogua people. If anyone dares to use these methods on the people of Ming Dynasty, I will let him understand that death is also a wish. .”

"As ordered!"

After talking about the battle plan against the Wa Kingdom, Zhu Zhangui began to talk about the mission goals for the Three Kingdoms.

"We will occupy this country for a long time. For the next attack to go smoothly, I will send a fleet to arrive there in advance for our follow-up troops to sort out a port."

"Who are you going!"

All the generals quickly lowered their heads.

After finally finding a place where you can play casually, who wants to travel thousands of miles to another place to build a port.

Seeing that no one said anything, Li Hu's old face immediately became serious.

"You bastards, you don't work hard as soon as you hear that there is a place to play, right? You are really messed up."

The old fritters didn't care about Li Hu's reprimand.

Anyway, they just want to go to Japan to play, to go to the thing called A Sanguo to build a port, whoever wants to go.

Seeing that no one took the initiative to stand up, Zhu Zhangui shook his head helplessly.

"Since no one stands up, it's the old rules."

As soon as they heard the old rules, the admirals became nervous, staring at their partners around them, winking and reminding each other.

"123!"

Zhu Zhangui counted to three, and the generals raised their hands together, pointing to one person.

"Your sister, don't play like this, it's always me."

The general who was pointed at looked at the pile of fingers in front of him, and angrily scolded his mother directly.

"No way, the minority obeys the majority!"

Li Hu slowly withdrew his hand and looked at the general with a smile.

"Depend on!"

The general rolled his eyes, and gave the middle finger to Li Hu, the boss.

"Well, Qu Guang, your fleet will be responsible for the construction of the port in A Sanguo."

"As ordered!"

Although he was pushed out by his comrades, he was very upset, but at the moment the order was issued, the general still stood up and raised his head to accept the order loudly.

This is the rule Zhu Zhangui set for his subordinates.

On weekdays, joking and joking are fine, but once the order is issued, no matter what the reason is, the order must be carried out unconditionally.

After assigning the naval personnel, Zhu Zhangui glanced at the generals of the machine battalion.

"Qi Yuan!"

"The end is here!"

A tall general stands tall with his chest up and his head raised.

"You go with General Qu. You listen to him when you are at sea. If there is a land war, you decide how to fight!"

"As ordered!"

After arranging the personnel, Zhu Zhangui announced the adjournment of the meeting.

Except for Li Hu and Jiang Huai, the other generals left the meeting room talking and laughing.

There are partners who haven't seen for a long time, but they are hugging their shoulders intimately, discussing that they must have a good drink later.

"How's the situation over there?"

He took a sip of tea and moistened his throat.

Zhu Zhangui began to ask Li Hu about the situation of the pirates in Fujian.

Although Li Hu also reported these things, he only reported them roughly.

"We fought against them a few times when we just passed by. Their strength was very average. After being beaten up by us a few times, they became honest. Later, seeing that we had been staying in the Fujian waters, they did not go ashore again."

"After our investigation, the number of Japanese pirates in Zhejiang and Fujian is about 2 to 3, of which more than [-]% are Ming people, and the number of real Japanese pirates is less than [-]%."

Speaking of this, Li Hu also explained.

"Originally they were not in the same group, and the biggest force is only a thousand people."

"Later when we came over, they might have sensed a threat, and they were organized under the coalition of some one, which is why they have the current form."

Zhu Zhangui understands the idea of ​​being threatened by himself and uniting to fight against the enemy.

If it were him, he would choose to do the same.

If one's own strength is too weak to fight against the imperial court, then find a bigger force to unite together, maybe there is still a glimmer of life.

Li Hu walked to the map and pointed to several hidden islands.

"These guys are all distributed on these few islands, and there are countless hidden reefs around them, making it difficult for big ships to approach."

"One of them is on an island opposite Ningbo Mansion, and the number of people is about 3000. We are going back this time, and I plan to kill them."

Zhu Zhangui nodded slightly and agreed to the battle plan.

Zhu Zhangui will not ask or intervene in how his subordinates fight and how to command the army.

He is only responsible for providing logistics and final results.

But if any guy has the guts to get out of his control, Zhu Zhangui will let the other party understand that not everyone can afford the army that has been supported by countless money.

In particular, the navy has recently equipped a large number of artillery, which has stricter logistical requirements.

Except for the old man, there is no one person or force in the entire Ming Dynasty who can afford such a huge consumption.

Li Hu pointed to another location and quickly introduced it.

"This is the largest force, with a population of about 7000. They are located on Xiaoliuqiu Island."

"This is also the most difficult place to fight. Every time we advance troops here, they retreat directly to the island."

"The vast mountains and forests, coupled with the help of the local natives, it is very difficult for us to find them."

"And we are not yet familiar with the terrain. If we rush ashore, we will easily fall into a trap."

"That's why I suggest that we should focus on surprise attacks here, and it is best to defeat them all at once."

Zhu Zhangui looked at the position of Xiaoliuqiu, pondered for a while, and said: "Eat the others first, and save this place for the end. If you really can't take it down in a short time, send a team to watch them. You can't just because of this. A small wave of Japanese pirates has affected our overall plan."

"As ordered!"

"Have you found out the people behind these pirate forces?"

Hearing this, Li Hu quickly took out a list from his pocket and put it on the table.

"These people are the targets of our suspicion, but we have no absolute evidence to prove that they are related to Japanese pirates."

"Why do we need evidence? Let's kill them in the name of bandits and Japanese pirates."

Jiang Huai, who had been listening to the discussion between the two, finally interjected.

Zhu Zhangui shook his head and rejected the suggestion.

It's not that Zhu Zhangui has changed his character, but that the old man doesn't allow him to use this method.

In the old man's words, it's a bit embarrassing for the future prince and future emperor of a grand grandson of a country to use such unscrupulous methods every day.

It's not that this method cannot be used, but that it cannot be used as soon as difficulties are encountered.

Once this habit is formed, it is easy to be limited in thinking when dealing with state affairs in the future.

And as a rule maker, if you don't abide by this rule yourself, then no one below is willing to abide by this rule.

So the old man set a limit for Zhu Zhangui.

In the future, when dealing with any forces in Ming Dynasty, it is not allowed to use the method of pretending to be a bandit to directly silence them.

Of course, the method used to deal with the Kong family should not be used in the future.

The plague is really hard to control. The old man is afraid that Zhu Zhangui will play it off in the future, and the people of Ming Dynasty will suffer from the disaster.

As for other countries, the old man didn't say anything.

The attitude is completely the same, I am just the emperor of Ming Dynasty, not the emperor of the world.

People in other countries suffer from disasters, suffer, suffer, and suffer grievances, and it has nothing to do with me, the emperor of Ming Dynasty.

"These people are in collusion with the Japanese pirates. There will definitely be letters and lists from the Japanese pirates."

"When we look back and wipe out the Japanese pirates, pay attention to this aspect. Those Japanese pirate leaders can be captured alive."

"As long as there is evidence and witnesses in this regard!"

Throwing the list in his hand on the table, Zhu Zhangui said with a sneer on his face: "I can handle these guys as I want!"

"Your Highness, I have important information!"

Just when the three of them were about to continue discussing the next plan, there was a knock on the door.

"Come in!"

A Jin Yiwei walked in quickly and handed a letter to Zhu Zhangui.

Zhu Zhangui took it and opened it casually, glanced at the contents above, and was speechless.

The letter was written by the third uncle Zhu Gaosui, which stated the second uncle's plans and ideas for the future.

Zhu Zhangui felt helpless and angry when he saw that his second uncle planned to unite with those people in the south to rectify him.

My second uncle, there is really no one else.

No wonder the boss wants to put him in a stuffy jar.

If it wasn't for the old man and the old man who were still alive, Zhu Zhangui would have wanted to put this second uncle in a jar and let him calm down.

"Go back and tell my third uncle that I already know the matter and I will be careful."

"In addition, tell him that I agreed to the distribution of pistols to the Beizhen Mansion Secretary he mentioned to me. When the new batch comes out next month, I will have someone send them to him."

"As ordered!"

Looking at Jin Yiwei who left, Zhu Zhangui put the letter on the lamp and lit it.

Looking at the burning letter, Zhu Zhangui felt that it was time to find someone to look after this second uncle.

Otherwise, he will always make trouble when he does something by himself, even if he doesn't succeed, it will make people uncomfortable.
