Daming: I, Zhu Di, threatened to seize the heir apparent at the beginning!

Chapter 332 Zhu Di’s massacre order!The gears of war turn!

Jian'an County.

Dusi Yamen.

Shen Ren's official office.

"Sir, I just received news that Chen Zuyi is going to convene all the pirates on Jilong Island for discussion. The news shows that he seems to want to deal with King Yan..."

Shen Ren frowned slightly after listening to the information reported by his subordinates, stood up, and took the letter from his subordinates.

While looking at it, I came to the map of Fujian.

After a moment, he raised his hand and pointed at Min County, "If the pirates really take action, it must be Min County!"

In fact, this is all nonsense!

The strength of the pirates would be good if they plundered the coast.

There was no way he could rush to Jian'an.

The only way to teach King Yan a lesson is in the coastal areas and only in Min County.

He said this nonsense just to relieve the urge in his chest to curse.

He didn't believe it. This matter had nothing to do with the Fujian tycoons and the chief minister Ye Mao!

In these years, Ye Mao has been in charge of the people and he has been in charge of the army.

The two collaborated in Fujian.

Even if he didn't have the exact information, he had heard about some of Ye Mao's things.

This bastard wanted to target King Yan, but he didn't stop him.

But we can't involve him!
As the highest military general in Fujian, if he did nothing during the Japanese pirates' plunder, the court would be held accountable!

But now he is hurriedly leading his troops to reinforce King Yan and help King Yan scare off the pirates.

Will it lay hidden dangers for his future career?
In recent years, he has been based in Fujian.

There are many local powerful people who want to corrupt him.

For the sake of long-term considerations, he resolutely rejected all the free money and all kinds of women presented to him.

Of course, in order not to offend these powerful people.

He also turned a blind eye to the bribes accepted by his brothers below.

There is no way, these powerful people can only show off their power in Fujian.

But with just a few tricks, you can get in touch with some big shots in the DPRK.

He just wanted to be a pure general. He just wanted to lead troops and be promoted based on military merit. He didn't want to offend these people.

As for the brothers below.

If the management is too strict, the brothers will be resentful.

You can't just let others make money if you don't want to make it yourself, right?
For the sake of his long-term future, he resisted the corruption of money and beauty.

Now, these people are forcing him to get too close to Zhu Silang and be misunderstood by the Crown Prince's supporters?
Years of perseverance turned into nothing?
Why did King Yan come to Fujian?

Shen Ren was very irritable.

"Dusi, what should we do? Pretend we didn't receive the message?"

A confidant asked, interrupting Shen Ren's thoughts.

Shen Ren pondered for a moment, then turned around and ordered: "Go and send an order to the other five guards along the coastal defense line. Each guard should send out a troop to assemble towards Jian'an. We haven't fought in many years. Let each guard feel it out."

Seeing his confidant frowning in confusion.

Shen Ren didn't explain either.

He didn't want to rush to Min County right now, and he didn't want to show others that he had a close relationship with King Yan and supported him very much.

Gather troops slowly.

After the Japanese pirates landed in Min County and fought against King Yan.

It is his duty to mobilize troops again.

But you can’t pretend you didn’t receive the message.

What if the pirates go crazy and are blinded by the benefits of robbery and rush out of Min County?
Even if he tacitly allowed the pirates and Japanese pirates to land in Min County, he would inevitably be reprimanded by His Majesty.

If pirates are allowed to break into other counties from Min County.

That would be a great sin.

Moreover, as a general, he was actually about to be condemned by his own conscience for allowing Japanese pirates to land in Min County.

But the power field is so helpless.

He could only weigh the pros and cons and sacrifice the people of Min County.

'If all the officials in the imperial court were like me, it would be great. '

Shen Ren watched his confidant leave and silently comforted himself.

……

Zhouzhuang Shen Garden.

The eldest son of Dafang is also the head of the Shen family.

Shen Mao's study.

Brothers Shen Mao, Shen Rong, and Shen Wang are all here.

After Gu Xuewen slipped back from Jian'an, he alarmed the three of them.

At this moment, Gu Xuewen was talking endlessly about what Jian'an had seen and heard.

"Brother, Zhu Silang can't accomplish anything. The chief envoy of Fujian is ignoring him, and the governor of Fujian wants to keep a distance from him. In such a big Fujian, there is only a small Jiang family..."

……

"The most ridiculous thing is that Zhu Silang is full of talents, but he is a man with no ambitions. He actually teaches his grandson without any secret..."

……

The three Shen Mao brothers frowned.

Shen Mao couldn't help it anymore and interrupted Gu Xuewen in a deep voice: "Xuewen, was it you who called you Zhu Silang?"

Gu Xuewen hurriedly restrained himself, "Brother, I know I was wrong. It's true that King Yan can't hold up the wall, which makes people anxious."

As soon as he finished speaking, he turned to look at Shen Wang, "Third brother, Shen Zhi has been drunk by King Yan now, and his whole head is burning. He actually wants to stake everything in the third room of the Shen family on King Yan. Don't follow him. fever!"

"It's best to write a letter and call Shen Zhi back immediately. If that doesn't work, just send someone to kidnap him back!"

"We understand. You've had a long journey, so go down and rest first."

After Shen Mao sent Gu Xuewen away, he turned around and said, "Third brother, Shen Zhi wants to take the entire third bedroom into custody. What do you think?"

"Although Xuewen is a bit out of tune, I think what he said makes some sense." Before Shen Wang could speak, Shen Rong was the first to express his opinion.

Shen Wang's lips moved.

Look at the eldest brother and the second brother.

Suddenly understood.

The eldest brother and the second brother do not want all the three members of the Shen family to bet on King Yan.

This means that the Shen family will be divided.

Although each of their three houses is responsible for a share, they are responsible for their own profits and losses.

But the interests between them are very deep.

The purpose of dividing the family is to separate them. Even if something happens to King Yan in the future, and the third family becomes unlucky, it will not affect the entire Shen family.

But if divided like this, the business of the first and second houses will definitely be affected.

To be honest, after reading the eldest son’s letter.

He wanted to stake the entire Shen family.

First of all, he felt that if he stayed in the Ming Dynasty, the Shen family would only continue to decline step by step, and there would be no development prospects.

Secondly, he did not think that the current emperor or the prince had the courage to initiate a drastic transformation in the Ming Dynasty.

In the end, it was achieved, rural village community + shareholding business model + opening up the sea.

"Eldest brother, second brother, I will not agree to the separation of families." Shen Wang swallowed what he wanted to say and said with a smile: "Shen Zhi wants to make trouble, so I will give him his share and let him make the trouble on his own... "

The eldest brother and the second brother obviously disagreed with the separation.

Strong score.

Brothers must turn against each other.

Simply give the eldest son more money and support.

Let the eldest son go and follow King Yan.

When King Yan goes to sea, the big deal is that they, the third family, will give up their current stall.

No more, leave it all to the eldest brother and the second brother.

Shen Mao and Shen Rong breathed a sigh of relief and smiled, "Lao San, please remind Shen Zhi that it doesn't matter if you lose all your money, but you must protect yourself. Whether King Yan can gain a foothold in Fujian is unknown."

Shen Wang smiled and agreed perfunctorily...

……

Min County.

Zhu Di and Xu Huizu arrived the next day.

Five navy warships sailed into the Minjiang River from the estuary.

County government office.

study.

A young general stood in front of Zhu Di, "Yu Jing, a humble official, pays homage to His Highness King Yan!"

Zhu Di couldn't help but smile when he looked at the young naval officer in front of him who was about his age and looked at him curiously.

Yu Jing!

The nephew of Yu Tonghai, Duke of Guo!
In the Ming Dynasty's military, a typical Chaohu system!

The naval generals of the Ming Dynasty were mainly controlled by generals from the Chaohu Department.

Mainly two families.

Yu family.

Liao family.

Among them, the Yu family is the most powerful.

Historically, all three generations of the Yu family were granted the title of Duke!
The old man also commented: Among the generals of the Chaohu Navy, Yu Tonghai is the strongest!
It can be said that the Yu family is not as famous as Lan Yu and Taishan.

But this family definitely has a very special position in the history of the Ming Navy.

So, historically.

Yu stood on the opposite side of 'him' Jingnan.

After 'he' won.

Apart from reducing their rank, the Yu family was not severely punished.

Yu Jing inherited the title of his father. After Jingnan, he was demoted and renamed the Commander of Jianchang.

To put it bluntly, the Yu family has too much influence in the Ming Navy system and cannot be punished too harshly.

Otherwise it will be detrimental to the stability of the navy.

Unexpectedly, the old man sent Yu Jing to him.

Not long after the Liaodong Navy surrendered, the old man sent Yu Jing.

From this, we can also see that the Yu family has an irreplaceable position in the Ming Navy system.

Ten years of the army, a hundred years of the navy.

Although this is a bit exaggerated now, it is not an exaggeration.

The Yu family is actually just proficient in water warfare in rivers and lakes.

Gathering his thoughts, he smiled and pointed to the chair next to him, "It's been a bumpy ride, so sit down and talk."

"Thank you, Your Highness."

After Yu Jing thanked him, he sat down on the chair pointed by Zhu Di.

Out of the corner of his eye, he spied on Zhu Di.

He had heard all about this prince's deeds.

In the ninth year of Hongwu's reign, when he first heard about it in the army, he laughed it off.

But later, when I heard about this man's deeds, he was already deeply involved in Liaodong.

At that time, they were a group of military brothers who had nothing to do on the boat all day long, and even got a map of Liaodong and the grassland to analyze.

When this person rushed into the grassland.

Everyone unanimously concluded that the prince would die heroically.

Either put down your dignity, surrender to Bei Yuan, and wait for the court to pay the price for redemption.

He never expected that this person would unexpectedly come back.

And brought back incredible results!

At that time, he wanted to take a closer look.

Unfortunately, I had responsibilities at the time.

Later, news came one after another about this person who was sprinting for the imperial examination.

It is even more shocking.

……

Just when I was becoming more and more curious about this prince.

Unexpectedly, he received an order from His Majesty to go to Liaodong, receive five warships, and follow him.

According to my uncle, second uncle, and father.

He accepted the order.

It means that he will be the prince's person from now on.

Once the prince cannot tolerate this person.

The family also needs to draw clear boundaries with him.

At that time, his fathers asked him to think carefully.

It didn't take him long to decide.

First, I want to see the prince up close.

He is a soldier.

I admire this kind of strong man who can break out from a group of 20 cavalry in a joint attack.

Secondly, he also wants to command the battleship and charge on the sea!

Daming Navy, except Liaodong Bay.

The rest of the time, they are in the rivers, seas and lakes offshore.

Said he was a waterman.

It might as well be said that he is a master of rivers and lakes.

It’s so boring!
The navy should dominate the sea!
Unfortunately, the imperial court's national policy decided that as long as he stayed in the Ming Dynasty, it would be difficult to realize this wish.

It's different now.

It is reported that His Majesty promised the whole world to King Yan.

King Yan can conquer any place in the world that is not part of the Ming Dynasty at will!

King Yan is so good, he should be able to realize his dream of commanding hundreds of giant warships, sailing across the sea, and conquering the unconquered, which makes people's blood boil just thinking about it, right?

"Yu Jing..."

Zhu Di's sudden voice interrupted Yu Jing's thoughts.Yu Jing was about to get up.

Zhu Di pressed his hand and asked with a smile: "Now we have a mission. Do your five warships have the strength to fight?"

'So fast? '

Yu Jing suddenly stood up and said excitedly: "Your Highness, please give the order! Although the five warships are small in size, we are not afraid of battle. Water battles require courage!..."

Zhu Di couldn't help but be surprised when he looked at Yu Jing who was full of fighting spirit.

Water fighting is all about courage!

This statement has a bit of the British Royal Navy flavor.

Historically, if Yu Jing was employed, would the Ming Dynasty's navigation industry be different?
Zheng He is also very good.

But Zheng He was more of a Confucian scholar.

Not enough killing!
I don’t know what happened to Zheng He.

Historically, the eldest brother Muying took over Yunnan in the 14th year of Hongwu.

But in this time and space, because he was in the grassland, Bei Yuan lost face.

This caused the King of Liang in the Northern Yuan Dynasty to provoke the Ming Dynasty.

The eldest brother Muying Hongwu captured Yunnan in the 11th year of his reign.

Ever since his father told him that the way out for him was to develop overseas.

He also inquired about Zheng He in private.

However, this time, among the prisoners brought back from Yunnan by the elder brother, there was no one named Ma He.

It is not known whether he died in the war or whether his family members avoided the war.

In short, there were none among the prisoners.

……

Zhu Di stood up and came to a map put together by Fujian and Dongfan.

Dongfan map.

It was after he and Huizu arrived in Min County that they finally found him.

Clicking on Jilong Island, "We received news that Chen Zuyi, the King of the Four Seas, summoned pirates on Jilong Island... It seems that he wants to attack Min County..."

……

Yu Jing listened carefully.

……

"I want you to supplement today. Set out in the evening and go to sea to hide. If the pirates really attack Min County, you can try your luck at Jilong Island. If the opponent's defense is weak, you can break into Jilong Island for me..."

Yu Jing immediately turned his head.

Staring at Zhu Di with bright eyes.

He is now more certain that he was right to choose to accept the emperor's order!

Look at this guy’s handiwork!
This is a naval battle!

If it were someone else, I'm afraid he would be asked to lead the navy brothers to defend the waters near Min County, right?

Or just avoid fighting.

In short, most people definitely don't have this kind of courage.

Directly dispatch five warships to try your luck outside!
'Following King Yan to develop on the sea, as long as I don't die, it will definitely satisfy my dream of sailing on the sea! '

Zhu Di didn't know what Yu Jing was thinking. He turned around, clenched his fists, and said with a hard face: "If Jilongyu's defense is really weak, and if you can break in and win, you can give me the entire Jilongyu, everyone, no matter what." All men, women, and children, if they are not fit to be carried as prisoners, will be killed!”

"Then set fire to the entire Jilong Island!"

Yu Jing's face turned slightly pale.

on the way.

He took off his clothes and jumped from the boat into the sea. The water was cold, and King Yan's voice was cold even at this moment.

Not suitable for carrying, no matter men, women, old or young, kill them all!
He fought in battles.

But when he served in the Ming Navy.

The imperial court has pacified the world.

In the past, the most they could do was fight with the Yuan Dynasty navy in Liaodong Bay.

Or, within the territory of the Ming Dynasty, destroy those water bandits who were left over from the war and were unwilling to surrender to the court.

None of these wars were brutal.

It's not as cruel as King Yan's Zongheng Grassland.

King Yan is only 19 years old, right?

Why are you so cold-blooded?

"Your Highness, there may be Han people on Jilong Island..."

He can be sure that there must be many Han people in Jilong Island.

Although he has become a pirate vassal, he is still a Han citizen!

Zhu Di patted Yu Jing's shoulder, turned and stared at Jilong Island, "War is war, and war cannot tolerate mercy."

From ancient times to the present, there has been no mercy in war.

Not to mention a group of Han people from Jilong Island who fled the Central Plains many years ago.

It is in the Central Plains.

Fight for the world.

Frequent massacre of cities, has it been rare since ancient times?
"This is not an order, it is the maximum authority I give you. The reason for this is that I want to remove the pirates' lair on Jilong Island..."

Chen Zuyi based himself on Jilong Island.

Rely on two things.

Infrastructure built over many years.

And the population of Jilong Island has been obtained for many years.

Lose these.

It is impossible for Chen Zuyi to recover in a short time.

Jilong Island will also lose value in a short period of time.

Otherwise.

Even if he defeats the pirates this time.

Pirates occupy Jilong Island and can attack Min County at any time.

If Fujian County wants to establish rural village cooperatives, it needs a stable environment.

And if he wants to build a naval army, he also needs a period of stability.

This time the pirates were severely damaged. If they can make another sneak attack, they will destroy Jilong Island.

This strait can be controlled by him in a short time.

Since we have no choice but to fight.

He wants to maximize his profits!

Strive for this time window.

Recruit yourself or recruit pirates to quickly expand your naval force.

Relying on Min County and Jilong Island, we will completely control the strait between Jilong Island and Fujian.

Then you can land on the island, sort out the villages that have settled on the island for thousands of years, and integrate your forces.

……

call!
Yu Jing secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

He thought it was an order.

Just have permission.

If he really couldn't capture him, he would not be merciful for the sake of the long-term overall situation.

As King Yan said, there is no mercy in war.

Have mercy on these people.

What about the people of Fujian County?
If the pirates become angry and occupy Jilong Island and attack Min County, the people of Min County will never be able to live in peace for a day.

At that time, if someone adds fuel to the flames.

The people of Min County will vent their grievances on King Yan and Xu Huizu, and even drive King Yan and Xu Huizu away from Min County!

People can really do this kind of thing.

They are officials of the imperial court, and they are first responsible for tens of thousands of people in Min County.

"I understand your humble position, please rest assured, Your Highness!"

Zhu Di patted Yu Jing on the shoulder and warned: "If you can't do anything, don't be brave. You are not familiar with Jilong Island. I will send Shen Zhi, the eldest son of the third eldest son of the Shen family, to go to sea with you. Go and prepare."

"As ordered!"

Yu Jing loudly accepted the order and left quickly.

Later, with the support of Zhu Di and Xu Huizu, a batch of supplies was purchased in Min County.

……

evening.

The bank of Minjiang River.

Five small battleships docked quietly.

Zhu Di personally saw off Shen Zhi and Yu Jing.

Shen Zhi pointed to the servant next to him and said with a confident smile: "Your Highness, don't worry. The servant next to me happened to be the steward on board our caravan. He is very familiar with the surrounding waters. As long as he is around, he will never get lost." !”

Zhu Di looked at the middle-aged man behind Shen Zhi.

Nodding, "You can search for such talents in advance and prepare them in advance. I have the right to sea trade. After this battle, as long as we win, we will also try sea trade."

After talking to Shen Zhi for a few words.

Looking at Yu Jing, he warned: "You are not familiar with this water area. After going to sea, you should listen to Shen Zhi's opinions more."

"Yes!"

……

In the darkness of night.

Zhu Di and Xu Huizu stood on the shore and watched five naval warships leaving along the Minjiang River.

……

The warship soon sailed from the estuary into the sea.

Yu Jing stood at the bow of the ship wearing armor, looking at the vast dark night.

Turning his head, he looked at Shen Zhi, "Is your Shen family going to turn against His Highness?"

Shen Zhi smiled bitterly and spread his hands: "I would like to, but I still have my father who makes the decision, and my father has my eldest uncle and second uncle above me. My idea may not come true. However, even if my family disagrees, I will set up my own business and follow King Yan..."

Immediately, Shen Zhi relayed Zhu Di's rural village community + shareholding business model + sea opening idea to Yu Jing.

Yu Jing opened his mouth slightly in shock.

After a while, he smiled bitterly and shook his head, "In the Ming Dynasty, there is too much resistance to thinking like this, but as long as King Yan leaves the Ming Dynasty, the dragon will return to the sea!"

He serves as a navy general.

I can appreciate the tradition and conservatism in the navy.

The navy is like this.

This is especially true for the entire Ming Dynasty.

Rural village communities are okay.

The resistance is not too great.

But how many people’s interests will be affected by the stock-holding business model and the comprehensive transformation of the Ming Dynasty?

Not to mention merchants and gentry.

How much business did the rich and powerful people of the dynasty secretly do?

How many people have such courage?
His Majesty?

Prince?
Daming is doing very well now.

Once the rural village community succeeds, it will be even better.

He felt that His Majesty and the Crown Prince would never risk another comprehensive transformation of the entire civil society under such a good situation.

this model.

I am afraid that only in Jian'an and Min counties, the brothers-in-law, King Yan and Xu Huizu, can exist.

It's unclear how long it will last after the two leave.

"However, after we go to sea with King Yan, as long as King Yan can make the decision, this thing will definitely happen!"

Yu Jing laughed heartily.

He is now more confident about going to sea and conquering all over the world.

in this mode.

King Yan is definitely not short of money.

He can definitely afford to support a huge navy!
According to legend, His Majesty issued a death order. When the prince went to conquer the Yuan Dynasty in the north, he asked King Yan to command [-] elite troops to return to the court.

Maybe, wait until then.

He can command a navy...

Do not!
Not navy.

The army of the sea!

He can command an army of the sea and send King Yan to the north. When the time comes, he will show off in front of his father, uncle and former colleagues.

They are the water masters of rivers and lakes.

And what he commands is an army of the sea!
Shen Zhi shrank his neck, "Yu Qianhu, your look makes me a little scared!"

I don’t know what Yu Jing thought of.

Suddenly, when I looked at him, my eyes were burning.

I heard that these navy officers have some special hobbies because it is difficult to get in touch with women.

It sinks to the point where you subconsciously contract your lower abdomen.

He doesn't have such a habit!

"Old Shen!" Yu Jing suddenly hugged Shen Zhi's shoulders, "You are the God of Wealth. From now on, you must work hard to make money. The size of your brothers' warships all depends on you!"

call!
Shen Zhi breathed a sigh of relief and secretly wiped his sweat, "Easy to say, easy to say..."

Fortunately, this one has no special hobbies!

"When King Yan leads his troops back to Jinling in the future, I hope you can earn a large sea army warship for the brothers, and we can sail from the Qinhuai River to the boundary of Jinling in glory!"

……

As Shen Zhi listened to Yu Jing's description, he couldn't help but forget about his special hobby, and couldn't help but picture that scene in his mind.

If it can really happen!

He also wants to follow back to Jinling!
"Okay! That's what we agreed on!"

That night, a young man with a dream of large-scale trade and a dream of a real navy high-fived and made an agreement...

　Asking for monthly tickets, recommended tickets, follow-up subscriptions, full subscriptions
