My father Zhu Gaoxu

Chapter 300
"Crack! Be honest!"

With the sound of a whip, the prisoner in the prison car screamed, and then stared at his own soldiers with eyes full of resentment.

"What are you looking at? Believe it or not, I will dig out your eyes!"

The guard guard said even more fiercely, he was not threatening, but telling the truth, for these Japanese pirates, every Ming would wish to cut them into pieces!

Facing the guard's ferocious eyes, the pirate in the prison car finally backed down, lowering his head and not daring to look at the guard again.

Zhang Fu on the horse also saw what happened to the guards and Japanese pirates in the prison car, but he just smiled and didn't pay attention to it.

"General, your Ming army is so majestic, you humiliate us like this, don't you show any kindness?"

On a prison car beside Zhang Fu, a Japanese man who was held in solitary confinement looked at Zhang Fei and said.

Compared with other Japanese, this Japanese man was much taller, and looked similar to ordinary soldiers of the Ming army. His naked upper body showed strong muscles, and he looked very mighty. This man was the leader of the Japanese pirates, Gecheng Erlang.

"Is it necessary for a group of people waiting to die to talk about benevolence and righteousness with you?"

Immediately, Zhang Fu glanced sideways at Ge Chengerlang, then sneered.

Zhang Fu and his soldiers were also very happy to capture Ge Cheng Erlang and other Japanese pirates this time. Therefore, after arriving in Tianjin, he handed over the grain handover to Mr. Qi, and then personally escorted Ge Cheng Erlang and others to Beijing.

As for Mr. Qi, he must not be able to enter Beijing, after all, his identity is not well known.

"Are you so sure that the emperor of Ming Dynasty will kill me?"

Ge Chengerlang asked back with a smile.

"As for the Japanese pirates, from the time of Emperor Taizu, as long as the Japanese pirates were captured, it has never been heard that they can survive. You should prepare early!"

Zhang Fei sneered.

In the previous battle at sea, Zhang Fu almost wiped out the Japanese pirates, even the leader Ge Cheng Erlang was captured alive by him. In order to save his life, the other party even said that he had something important to report to the Ming Emperor, but he refused to say what it was.

"Hey, more than ten years ago, more than 20 brothers and I left the country of Wa in a small boat. We went through hardships and dangers along the way. In the end, only eleven of our more than 20 brothers survived. Later, our eleven brothers died one after another. At sea, now I am the only one alive, it can be said that from the moment I went to sea, I have no intention of going back alive!"

Ge Cheng Erlang said with a nonchalant smile.

He has been on the coast of Daming for many years, and he speaks Chinese very well, except for a few words that are a bit blunt, he can hardly hear any accent.

"Since you don't care about your own life so much, why do you say something important to save your life?"

Zhang Fu asked again with a sneer, he didn't believe a word of Ge Cheng Erlang's words.

"If you can live, who wants to die? I'm used to seeing life and death, but it doesn't mean that I want to die. What's more, I'm sure, you Ming will definitely not kill me!"

Ge Chengerlang once again said confidently.

Hearing that Ge Cheng Erlang was so sure that the court would not kill him made Zhang Fu even more puzzled, but he also knew that before entering Beijing, Ge Cheng Erlang would definitely not tell him the truth, because he had asked many times before.

The capital was in sight, and when Zhang Fu escorted the prison cart to the gate of Beijing, he immediately saw Zhu Zhanhe who came to greet him in person.

"My subordinate pays homage to the crown prince!"

Zhang Fu swung his saddle off his horse, and quickly stepped forward to salute.

"Commander Zhang, you don't have to be polite. I have already asked Grandpa Huang for your credit for defeating the Japanese pirates this time, and Grandpa Huang also specifically ordered that I summon you in person!"

Zhu Zhanhe laughed and stepped forward and said.

Zhang Fu and the others actually defeated the Japanese pirates on the way of shipping, which was also a surprise to Zhu Zhanhe.

Therefore, after hearing the news, Zhu Zhanhe immediately entered the palace and reported it to Zhu Di in person. Zhu Di was also very happy. After all, Japanese pirates have always been a serious problem in the southeast coast. .

"Your Majesty wants to summon me in person?"

Zhang Fu was also very pleasantly surprised when he heard the words. To be summoned by His Majesty the Emperor is definitely a great opportunity for the courtiers. If he can make His Majesty remember his name, then he will be called Jane in the Emperor's Heart, and he will be promoted in the future. It's just around the corner.

"Let's go, let's advance into the city and imprison these Japanese pirates in the prison of the Ministry of Justice. Then we will enter the palace immediately. The emperor is waiting for you to tell us about the process of eliminating the Japanese pirates!"

Zhu Zhanhe said as he took Zhang Fu's arm and entered the city side by side with him.

After the escorted team arrived at the Ministry of Criminal Justice, the officials of the Ministry of Criminal Justice had already received the news and immediately came out to count the Japanese pirates.

This time, Zhang Fu and the others captured more than 300 Japanese pirates, but many of them were seriously injured. Zhang Fu did not want to waste medicine to treat them, so many Japanese pirates died in pain. to the capital.

After handing over the prisoners, Zhu Zhanhe brought Zhang Fu into the palace.

Zhu Di summoned Zhang Fu in the Wuying Hall, and several cabinet ministers including Jin Zhong and Xia Yuanji also came.

"Zhenhaiwei Commander Zhang Fu, pay homage to my emperor, long live!"

Zhang Fu strode into the hall and solemnly saluted Zhu Di.

"You don't need to be too polite, Zhang Fei, you led the army to defeat the Japanese. This battle was fought beautifully. If En Guogong knows it, he will be very pleased!"

Zhu Di laughed heartily.

En Guogong is Zhang He, the first generation of Marquis of Navigation, also Zhang Fu's uncle, who was posthumously named En Guogong after his death.

"Thank you for your praise, Your Majesty!"

Hearing that Zhu Di mentioned his uncle, Zhang Fu also said with reddened eyes.

"Zhang Fu, tell me in detail how you encountered Japanese pirates at sea and fought with them!"

Zhu Di ordered again.

"Yes!"

Zhang Fu agreed, calmed down a bit, and then narrated.

"Not long after we left Taicang, we found a small boat peeping in the distance. Obviously, someone on land was in collusion with the Japanese pirates, so the Japanese pirates got the news of our departure..."

Following Zhang Fu's narration, Zhu Di, Zhu Zhanhe and others finally understood what happened.

And when Zhang Fu was narrating, he also emphasized the excellent performance of those new warships, which had a lot to do with Zhu Zhanhe, and it was considered to be helping Zhu Zhanhe to ask for credit.

Finally, Zhang Fu said again: "After Ge Cheng Erlang was arrested, he kept saying that he had important matters to see His Majesty. I dare not make a decision without authorization, so I brought him to the capital, and now he is being imprisoned in the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice."

"Just a Japanese pirate wants to see me?"

Zhu Di sneered, he was not in the mood to meet a Japanese pirate, as for such matters, he could just hand them over to the Ministry of Criminal Justice for trial.

"Grandfather, I'm quite interested in Ge Cheng Erlang, why don't I go meet him for you!"

At this time Zhu Zhanhe suddenly asked.
