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

Chapter 341 Good news comes to Jinling!
The next day.

It was just dawn.

Chen Zuyi summoned the pirate leaders.

On the deck of the ship.

Just like at Jilong Island, there are two rows of chairs.

But there are at least [-]% less people.

snort!
Chen Zuyi glanced at the empty chair on the left and snorted slightly.

Liang Daoming rushed to pick peaches excitedly. Now that he was well, he would most likely have died in battle or become a prisoner of Zhu Di, the fourth prince of the Ming Dynasty.

If Lu Zhen hadn't helped Liang Daoming's son quickly stabilize his people's hearts, and even pretended to be on guard against him.

Perhaps last night, he annexed Liang Daoming's forces.

Nowadays, Liang Daoming's son does not dare to come to discuss matters.

Chen Zuyi's peripheral vision passed over Lu Zhen's body, and then he looked to the right, and the corners of his lips couldn't help but twitch.

The pirate sitting on the right has a good relationship with the Chen family, and is the first choice for the Chen family to gradually win over and annex them.

Now, people have become prisoners of Zhu Di.

The warship became Zhu Di's trophy.

The fourth prince of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Di, received two hundred warships. In the future, the Chen family will definitely be under great pressure on Jilong Island.

……

After a while, Chen Zuyi put away his thoughts and said in a deep voice: "Everyone, we have lost this battle. We have lost completely. We have all underestimated the Fourth Prince Ming..."

……

"Eight thousand elite soldiers are dead, and even Leader Liang is probably in trouble..."

……

"In addition, it has been confirmed that Shen Ren, the governor of Fujian Province, is involved and has blocked the lower reaches of the Min River..."

"In this battle, we have no choice but to admit defeat. The purpose of summoning you is to inform you that I am preparing to return to Jilong Island."

The expressions of many pirate leaders present changed again and again.

Chen Zuyi changed the subject, "Just because we lost this battle, it doesn't mean we gained nothing! In this battle, the fourth prince of the Ming Dynasty's art of war is worth learning. My Chen family is going back to Malacca to follow what we learned from the fourth prince of the Ming Dynasty in this battle." In terms of the art of war, even if it means selling off the pot, a new type of army must be retrained..."

Chen Zuyi waved his hand.

Chen Shou came out and handed out several pieces of paper filled with content to each pirate leader.

Lu Zhen glanced at Chen Zuyi in surprise.

It turned out to be the battle in Min County.

This is very valuable information.

Unexpectedly, Chen Zuyi was willing to take it out.

Chen Zuyi glanced at Lu Zhen and smiled secretly. These contents could not be hidden. With Lu Zhen's relationship with Fujian's tycoons, they could quickly find out.

In this case, why not take it out openly.

It can not only show your mind, but also sell well.

"This is the story of the battle in Min County compiled by the eldest son Chen Shou and Kanda Takanobu who witnessed it overnight. Facts have proved that they did their best in this battle..."

Lu Zhen listened and checked.

Nod slightly.

Indeed, the offensive actions of Chen Shou and others in Min County would probably be the same even if it were them.

It is the fourth child of Zhu Yuanzhang's family who is superior to others.

Use your troops efficiently, concentrate your firearms, and fire a volley within fifty paces.

……

However, he also understood why Chen Zuyi was so generous.

Except for the Chen family and the Liang family, it is basically impossible for other families to imitate the methods of the fourth prince of the Ming Dynasty.

They had no dedicated infantry.

There is no financial support to form a small infantry army.

First of all, the new army needs to be equipped with a large number of firearms. This alone makes it impossible for many of their forces to do so.

……

"The fourth prince of the Ming Dynasty is just a prince of the Ming Dynasty. He cannot be the master of the Ming Dynasty, and he does not get much support. With this new type of army, I conclude that it will be difficult for the Ming Dynasty to follow up quickly. This gives us an opportunity. I, Chen Zuyi, I swear here to all my colleagues that within one or two years, I will avenge the shame of this defeat!"

……

Chen Zuyi’s speech ended.

Soon, the leaders of each family left.

A fleet began to retreat in an orderly manner from the coast of Min County.

……

blah blah blah...

Chen Shou walked to Chen Zuyi's side with some depression, followed Chen Zuyi's gaze and looked towards Min County.

The shame in his eyes flashed away.

In Malacca, he was a hero even the Malacca royal family was afraid of.

But in this battle, all two thousand elite members of the Chen family were lost in Min County.

Forcibly suppressing the discomfort, he reminded, "Father, everything is ready, we can go."

All the other warships were gone.

My father didn't leave for a long time. Obviously, he felt very sad that he failed in this battle.

Chen Zuyi came back to his senses, pointed at Min County and said to Chen Shou: "Remember this place, this is a shame for our father and son. After returning to Malacca, I will fully support you in forming a new army, and then take Malacca for me first. With the wealth of Malacca, Strengthen yourself, return here, use the methods of the four princes of the Ming Dynasty to defeat the Ming army, restore the dignity of our Chen family, and strive for benefits!"

Hearing this, Chen Shou glanced in the direction of Min County and nodded heavily.

……

Three poles in the sun.

Zhu Di was at Shen Ren's camp and received news of the pirates' retreat.

Immediately relieved.

He is not afraid of war.

It is because they don’t want to fight in the Ming Dynasty.

"Congratulations, Your Highness."

"Your Highness, this battle is our greatest victory against Japanese pirates since the founding of the Ming Dynasty."

"When the news of this battle reaches the capital, it will surely inspire people."

……

Zhu Di came to his senses amid the congratulations of the Zhendong Guard generals. After smiling and thanking him, he looked at Shen Ren and said, "General Shen, logically speaking, I should celebrate with you all for such a great victory, but there are still a lot of things to deal with in Min County." …”

Shen Ren smiled and said: "Your Highness is busy, but I will visit you again after returning to Jian'an."

After almost a day of contact.

This one gave him a very good impression.

The news that came from Jinling before was really misleading!
On the same day, Zhu Di and Xu Huizu set off and returned to Min County.

at the same time.

News of the great victory in Min County also spread quickly.

First of all, after hearing the news, the powerful gentry gathered in Fuqing panicked and scattered in panic. They were in panic all day long.

Zhu Di has not yet returned to Min County.

The news of the defeat of the Japanese pirates in the field battle yesterday reached the Yamen of the Chief Envoy of Fuzhou Prefecture.

The chief envoy's office.

Ye Mao's face was pale and without a trace of blood, and he slumped down on the chair, "How is it possible, how is it possible..."

That’s eight thousand pirates!

Even if you let [-] pigs go to Gongmin County, you can still collapse the city!
So many pirate leaders fell into the hands of Zhu Silang.

Once their connection with local powerful people in Fujian is exposed...

What about him?

Can Zhu Silang spare him?
Thinking of this, Ye Mao finally came to his senses and no longer worried about Zhu Di's victory.

Now, he should focus more on how to overcome the difficulties.

Uneasiness and fear flashed away in his eyes, and he looked at his confidants, "For the current plan, what should I do? Is there any use in showing my goodwill to Zhu Silang?"

The staff smiled wryly.

Being so arrogant in the front and respectful in the back is not like seeking medical treatment in a hurry.

"Sir, it's okay to show your goodwill. Maybe Zhu Silang didn't think about causing any big trouble, but you can't put all your bets on Zhu Silang. You might as well write to Lord Lu to ask for help. The prince once argued for Feng Sheng. Strive hard, if Mr. Lu can convince the Crown Prince..."

"Yes, yes, two-pronged approach, two-pronged approach..." Ye Mao hurriedly braced himself, sat up, and rummaged around on the desk with trembling hands...

The letter he had sent to Lu Ben to announce the good news had almost reached Lu Ben's hands.

Now, maybe Lu could save him.

……

The entire upper-class elite in Fujian is in a state of panic.

Zhu Di returned to Min County.

jail.

Liang Daoming and Ye Wenju were imprisoned in a cell.

Since being imprisoned, no one has cared about him.

Not even a meal delivery person.

Liang Daoming stood in front of the small window, taking up all the little light that came in.

At a certain moment, he turned around and asked curiously: "Senior Ye, the fourth prince of Ming Dynasty is so outstanding, why did Emperor Zhu exile the fourth prince of Ming Dynasty overseas?"

Such an outstanding prince.

Shouldn't he be made the heir?

He knew that the Central Plains had a system since ancient times, the idea of ​​​​establishing direct descendants and establishing elders.

To be honest, he was really puzzled.

Why do you have to establish a direct descendant?

Isn't it a loss for the Ming Dynasty that heirs like the fourth prince of the Ming Dynasty were 'exiled' overseas?The loss of the Central Plains?
If there is the backing of the entire Central Plains.

The fourth prince of the Ming Dynasty may be able to achieve unimaginable achievements.

Ye Wenju opened his eyes and looked at Liang Daoming.

Liang Daoming's ancestors left the Central Plains.

Said they were Han Chinese.

But the way of thinking is already different from that of the Central Plains people.

blah blah blah...

Just as Ye Wenju was about to speak, footsteps came.

The two were attracted by the sound of footsteps.

It was so uncomfortable to be ignored.

After all, they are all from the same side.

Soon, a young man, accompanied by several people, appeared in sight.

The fourth prince of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Di!
When they saw the leader, although they were unfamiliar, they were very sure that it was Zhu Di.

Zhu Di stood outside the prison and looked at the two men with a smile.

The cell door opens,

He led Xu Huizu, Jiang Jinzhong and others inside, smiled and clasped his fists, "Welcome the two leaders to visit the Ming Dynasty."

Welcome in prison?

Not even a welcome meal?

guest?

The corners of Liang Daoming's lips twitched, and he clasped his fists and smiled bitterly, "The fourth prince of the Ming Dynasty is very talented and bold. We are convinced that we will lose. If you want to kill or behead him, please do as you please."

Zhu Di smiled and walked to the dark bench next to him, sat down, and pointed to the opposite side.

After Liang Daoming and Ye Wenju sat down, they smiled and said: "We can't be considered acquainted without fighting. Who said that we must fight to the death?"

Liang Daoming and Ye Wenju were surprised.

not kill them?

He looked at Zhu Di suspiciously and waited for Zhu Di to say something.

"Everyone should know that I was ordered to come to Fujian this time to shoulder the task of destroying pirates. At the same time, I also have maritime trade privileges..."

..."I want to make friends with the two leaders. From now on, I will conduct direct trade with the forces represented by the two. The three of us will form an alliance at sea to deal with pirates together..."

……

Chen Zuyi is now the king of the world.

It is impossible for him to form an alliance with Chen Zuyi.

This will only make Chen Zuyi stronger and stronger.

Liang Daoming, who is the second person in the world, is the best candidate.

The sea is too big.

His current strength is too weak.

In his original plan, he had no intention of developing maritime power so quickly.

Plans can't keep up with changes.

The current situation has changed, and when it has reached this point, it is necessary to make reasonable plans based on the changes.

Liang Daoming and Ye Wenju were both shocked.

don't kill them.

Let them go back!
That's all.

Are you still going to trade with them?

Liang Daoming frowned and thought, according to the plan of the fourth prince Ming, he would fight against the pirates with the fourth prince Ming.

It is tantamount to offending all colleagues in the sea.

Will doing this be good or bad for the future of the Liang family?
"I heard that the fourth prince was 'exiled' overseas. I wonder what will happen to the fourth prince in the future?" He wanted to know if the fourth prince of the Ming Dynasty had any intention of spying on territories such as Srivijaya and Malacca.

Zhu Di looked at Liang Daoming with a smile, "Chief Liang, who can say clearly what will happen in the future? I can tell Chief Liang that I will base myself in Dongfan and rely on the Ming Dynasty to explore the four seas..."

There is no point in fighting for the world in the Ming Dynasty.

He doesn't want to and doesn't want to.

Going to sea is different.

Leave a family fortune to Yongming and Qihua.

Inject a maritime culture into the Central Plains.

Let the Central Plains culture spread further afield.

There is so much to do.

No worries, no entanglements.

If you want to expand your territory, expand your territory.

If you don't want to, then just stay with their little family.

Unfettered.

……

really!

Liang Daoming sighed secretly, if he was not strong enough to compete with the fourth prince of the Ming Dynasty before the fourth prince of the Ming Dynasty established his foothold in Dongfan and opened up the world.

Then we can only surrender.

But does he have a choice?
"Fourth Prince, what if I don't agree? Will you let me go?" Liang Daoming looked at Zhu Di with a smile.

Zhu Di was immediately amused and said bluntly: "If you don't agree, I will behead Leader Liang in front of the entire people of Min County. The other captured pirate leaders this time, even if they confess what I want, will eventually be killed." If you deal with it this way, if you attack my Ming Dynasty, you must be prepared to lose your head."

Liang Daoming stared at Zhu Di.

The Ming prince did not hide anything, and he felt a rush of confidence.

Just like telling him that he will explore the world in the future.

Not afraid of him knowing at all.

After a long time, Liang Daoming stood up and solemnly clasped his fists: "Okay, I agree to the conditions of the fourth prince. From now on, our Liang family armed group will never plunder the Ming Dynasty. At the same time, we are willing to form an alliance with the fourth prince to defend the sea for the Ming Dynasty!"

As for the future...

Things to come will be told.

Perhaps, when the time comes, he will grow stronger and be able to compete with the fourth prince of the Ming Dynasty?

Perhaps the fourth prince of the Ming Dynasty will be feared by his father and brother in the Central Plains, and most of his energy will be restrained by the Central Plains?
Worst case, the worst possible outcome would be to join the Fourth Prince of the Ming Dynasty.

If he really has the strength to force his Liang family armed group to surrender, there is nothing wrong with surrendering.

It is also a good choice to follow the other party to expand territory and become a prince or prime minister.

Ye Wen raised his body and clasped his fists, "Fourth Prince, I can't make the decision for my eldest brother, but I can stay in Min County and write letters to my eldest brother."

Zhu Di looked at Ye Wenju, shook his head and smiled: "No need to go to such trouble, senior Ye can just go back and tell senior Lu my sincerity in cooperation."

He has decided to recruit Lu Zhen's power.

But not now.

I don’t know if Yu Jing ever conquered Jilong Island.

After Yu Jing comes back, he will select some of the captured pirates with barely qualified characters and hand them over to Yu Jing to form his own navy.

Before this naval force was successfully formed.

Lu Zhen cannot be appeased yet.

The naval force formed based on pirates hastily recruited Lu Zhen before forming loyalty, and it is very likely to make Lu Zhen's wedding dress.

There are some things that must be guarded against, no matter how unlikely they are.

But that doesn't stop him from showing kindness to Lu Zhen now.

Ye Wenju's face was full of surprise.

Until Zhu Di came and left in a hurry, looking at Zhu Di's back, he finally came back to his senses for a long time and said with emotion: "God really favors the old Zhu family."

Otherwise, an outstanding prince like Zhu Silang.

Why is he Zhu Yuanzhang’s son?

"In the future, these four seas will probably be very lively!" Liang Daoming couldn't help but sigh.

He had a strong premonition.

As long as the emperor of the Ming Dynasty does not envy, envy, or restrict the four princes of the Ming Dynasty.

I am afraid that in the future, a behemoth will appear on the four seas!
……

Just when Zhu Di was in charge of Min County, it was the end of the war.

The news that Zhu Di had annihilated eight thousand Japanese pirates quickly spread outside Fujian.

The first is adjacent provinces.

Jiangsu and Zhejiang.

Zhouzhuang, Shenjia Manor.

study.

Brothers Shen Mao, Shen Rong, and Shen Wang gathered in the study again.

Shen Rong asked curiously: "Brother, why did you call us here?"

Shen Wang also looked at Shen Mao curiously.

Shen Mao looked at his two younger brothers and said in a deep voice: "The steward in Wenzhou just sent someone to send the news back quickly..."

After a slight pause, Shen Mao looked at Shen Wang, "The steward saw Shen Zhi!"

Shen Wang was suddenly surprised.

"Brother, isn't Shen Zhi with the fourth prince? Why did he run to Wenzhou?" Shen Rong asked first.

"Shen Zhi has made a meritorious service!" Envy flashed in Shen Mao's eyes, and he said directly: "The steward wrote to inform him that Shen Zhi accompanied Yu Jing, a member of the navy under the command of King Yan, to sneak attack when the pirates attacked Min County. After arriving at Jilong Island, because the Min River was blocked by pirates, they turned back and stopped at Wenzhou. It is said that they took thousands of prisoners..."

Shen Rong glanced at Shen Wang with envy, even some jealousy.

How long has Shen Zhicai been with King Yan?

To achieve such a feat?

If nothing else, just by destroying Jilong Island, Shen Zhi's name will appear in the report of his achievements to His Majesty.

"My lord, my lord..."

While the three brothers were talking, there was a sudden rush outside.

boom!
The butler pushed open the door and rushed in, panting: "The eldest master, the second master, the third master, the latest news from Fujian, King Yan has wiped out eight thousand Japanese pirates and achieved a great victory!"

Quiet!

The butler's voice fell.

The entire study was so quiet that you could hear a needle drop.

After a while.

Shen Mao waved his hand to dismiss the housekeeper, and his eyes fell on Shen Wang, "Third brother, the eldest brother knows that from Shen Zhi's previous letter, you actually wanted to bet the entire third house on King Yan. The eldest brother also admitted that he was worried about the family separation before. It caused losses to the big house, it was selfish, and I didn’t want you to separate the family..."

……

"Now the eldest brother agrees to separate the family."

King Yan has only been in Fujian for a long time.

Destroy Jilong Island.

Annihilated eight thousand Japanese pirates.

Facts have proved that this prince can accomplish something even if he is based in Dongfan.

Now that the families are separated, it will indeed be very difficult for the first and second bedrooms.

But if Sanfang follows King Yan and takes root overseas, it will be a retreat for the Shen family, right?

If their family encounters difficulties that they cannot overcome in the future, future generations will be able to seek refuge with Sanfang.

Look at what King Yan is doing.

As long as he could accept his business model of rural village community + employee stock system, King Yan did not discriminate against business, but instead held an encouraging attitude.

This may be difficult to achieve in Ming Dynasty.

In short, the person who made the decision in Ming Dynasty was not King Yan. He had a pessimistic attitude towards this kind of folk economic concept.

Your Majesty does not like businessmen today.

As for the prince, he was introduced by several children in his family who were officials in the court.

The prince doesn't seem to have such courage.

You know, the transformation of the stock-holding business model involves too many aspects.

Most people in high positions really don't have this kind of courage.

Don't talk about the prince.

Even if King Yan becomes the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, it will probably be very difficult to achieve this.

In the end, it is possible to end up like Emperor Yang of Sui Dynasty.

This kind of private transformation requires too much effort.

If you are not careful, war may break out.

It's different overseas.

As long as King Yan can push back all the old things through war, he can rebuild according to his ideas.

……

Just when the three brothers of the Shen family were discussing.

Chen Zuyi also returned to Jilong Island.

As far as the eye could see, there were corpses everywhere, and all the buildings were burned to ashes.

Even the embankments that had been repaired and constructed over the years were destroyed.

All the infrastructure on Jilong Island is finished.

This time, the Chen family lost more than two thousand elites.

And the entire Jilong Island.

The fourth prince of the Ming Dynasty, who has a navy, will definitely not sit back and watch the Chen family continue to restore Jilong Island.

Do nothing else.

As long as the navy is dispatched to harass the construction of Jilong Island from time to time and carry out sneak attacks, the Chen family will not be able to gain a foothold on Jilong Island.

Ah!
At a certain moment, Chen Zuyi suddenly looked up to the sky and roared.

The day.

Chen Zuyi said, "I will come back again!"Without making any stops, abandon Jilong Island and retreat to the southwest.

The Chen family is not rich enough to build a new elite while building Jilong Island.

……

a few days later.

Several homing pigeons from the south flew into Jinling City...

Good news comes to Jinling!
