My father Zhu Gaoxu

Chapter 356 Rewarding the Three Armies
Dazai Castle, also known as Fukuoka in later generations, was built here by the Japanese Kingdom during the Tang Dynasty. Many envoys sent to the Tang Dynasty started from here, making it an important port on Kyushu Island.

Not far to the west of Dazai Castle is Iki Island, and a little further away is Tsushima Island. The traffic is much more convenient than Hirado Island. Therefore, after Zhang Fu defeated Dazai, Hirado Island was replaced by this place, and it became the Ming army's base. The most important rear base on Kyushu Island.

Zhu Zhanhe came to the port early today, stood on a high place and looked out over the sea, because he received news a few days ago that Zhu Di sent Zhu Yong to lead the team to reward the three armies, and he also brought a large number of officials. Arrive at Dazai.

So Zhu Zhanhe also came to the port early to wait. After all, he missed Daming very much since he left for the expedition. Today, he finally hoped that someone would come, and it was Zhu Yong who led the team. Of course, he couldn't neglect it.

After waiting for about an hour, a large-scale fleet finally appeared on the sea in the distance. When he saw the big "Ming" flag on the ship, Zhu Zhanhe also strode excitedly to the pier to wait. .

Soon the fleet entered the port, and as soon as the leading warship came to a stop, they saw Zhu Yong and ran off the ship excitedly, and when they saw Zhu Zhanhe on the pier, they immediately shouted excitedly: "Zhanhe! "

"Haha~"

Zhu Zhanhe laughed out loud, and ran forward excitedly, the two hugged each other happily, and patted each other's back heavily.

At this time, other officials on board also got off the boat, Zhu Yong also calmed down, and immediately introduced these officials to Zhu Zhanhe.

Except for a few officials who accompanied Zhu Yong to reward the three armies, most of the remaining officials were dispatched to Kyushu to follow Zhu Zhanhe's arrangement to manage Kyushu.

It’s just that these officials are all listless. After all, they stayed well in Daming, and everyone has a bright future, but now they are doing well. They were transferred to overseas wild places like the Wa Kingdom, and no one would be happy about it. .

The leader of these officials was Yang Yun, who had served as a local official for many years and had outstanding political achievements. That's why Zhu Di personally named him and sent him to assist Zhu Zhanhe in managing Kyushu.

"Meet the prince!"

Yang Yun stepped forward and saluted Zhu Zhanhe.

Compared with other officials, Yang Yun seemed very calm, at least he didn't show the slightest complaint on the surface.

"Emissary Yang Buzheng doesn't need to be too polite. I've already asked someone to host a banquet. Let's chat and eat later!"

Zhu Zhanhe laughed, then stepped forward and pulled Yang Yun's arm affectionately, and came to Dazai City together with Zhu Yong.

Zhu Di had already decreed to announce the establishment of a province in Kyushu, but because Kyushu was the name of ancient China, Zhu Di felt that this name could no longer be used, so he directly named the province established on Kyushu Island as the Japanese Province.

This is actually a common practice. When Zhu Di took down Annan, he directly established the Jiaozhi Province there, with Huang Fu as the chief envoy.

This time, the Japanese province will have Yang Yun as the chief envoy, so in a short period of time, Yang Yun will be one of Zhu Zhanhe's most important assistants.

Dazai's City Lord's Mansion has become Zhu Zhanhe's residence, and the welcome banquet is also held here. After Zhu Zhanhe brought Zhu Yong, Yang Yun and others to the banquet, immediately another musician and Japanese girl came forward and danced. Although the native dance of Shouwa Kingdom is very weird, it also has a bit of exotic flavor.

After the song, Zhu Zhanhe waved the dancers and musicians to leave, and then chatted with Zhu Yong and Yang Yun, and inquired about the situation on Daming's side.

When he learned that Zhu Gaochi had been released by Zhu Di and entered the palace to handle government affairs, Zhu Zhanhe was also very happy. After he left the capital, he was most worried about Zhu Gaochi who was imprisoned. Now he can finally feel relieved.

"My lord, how is the situation in Kyushu? Is the army's attack going smoothly?"

At this time, Yang Yun, on behalf of the other officials present, asked a question that they were most concerned about.

After all, before they set off, they only knew that the Kyushu was still at war. Although Daming had the upper hand, some areas had not yet been defeated. As officials in such a war-torn place, they would naturally worry about their own safety.

"Don't worry, now the entire Kyushu is almost completely occupied by us, the only remaining area, we are also in contact with them, try to win them over, and jointly deal with the Ashikaga shogunate."

Zhu Zhanhe explained with a smile.

Hearing that the army had achieved such great results, all the officials present were also relieved. In this way, their safety was at least somewhat guaranteed.

"My son, since we have conquered Kyushu, why hasn't there been any movement from the Ashikaga shogunate? Are they planning to give up Kyushu?"

Yang Yun still asked worriedly.

Since he came to work in Kyushu, Yang Yun also learned a lot about the Wa country beforehand. He knew that the real power in the Wa country was the Ashikaga shogunate, and he would definitely not sit back and watch Kyushu be occupied by Ming Dynasty.

"Haha~, in fact, we have been worried about the Ashikaga shogunate sending troops to support Kyushu before, but we didn't know until recently that civil strife broke out in the Ashikaga shogunate last year. The rebellion even brought down the home of the Ashikaga family, and the rebellion has not subsided until now, so they have no energy to care about the affairs of Kyushu."

Zhu Zhanhe laughed loudly when he heard the words.

He had just learned about the outbreak of civil strife in the Ashikaga shogunate, and it was revealed to him by Ouchi.

During this period of contact with Ouchi Shengjian, although the other party did not agree to join Daming, his attitude was already leaning towards Daming, and he probably would make a choice soon.

Hearing that the Ashikaga shogunate was too busy to take care of themselves, Yang Yun and other officials were also more happy. In this way, they will be more stable in Kyushu.

Zhu Zhanhe had long seen what these officials were thinking, and knew that they were not willing to stay in Kyushu, but had to come because of Zhu Di's order.

Regarding the thoughts of these officials, Zhu Zhanhe did not point out, but just told them that the time when the Wa country is employing people is the time when problems are most likely to occur. Don't blame yourself for turning your back on others.

Blind Huairou is sometimes not a good thing. For example, when Zhu Di mobilized officials to serve in Kyushu, he didn't care whether the officials were willing or not. As long as his imperial edict was issued, these officials would come.

The same is true for Zhu Zhanhe. Since these officials came to Kyushu, they have to do their best to do things for themselves. Now Kyushu is still under military control. If something goes wrong with these officials, he can completely follow the military law.

Sure enough, in the face of Zhu Zhanhe's warning, these officials sat up straight at once. They all knew that the son of the King of Han founded Dongchang by himself, and even Jin Yiwei had to obey the order of Dongchang, so they dared not offend Zhu Zhan He.
