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

Chapter 509: The Mongolian envoys received good news and arrived in Jinling!

"Hurry up!"

"Hurry up and board the ship. Our army cannot let the navy underestimate us. The navy has annihilated the Chen Dynasty navy, but their warships cannot reach land. The next battle depends on our army."

"Soldiers, many of you are new recruits. It is your first time to participate in actual combat. Are you afraid?"

"Don't be afraid! Don't be afraid! Don't be afraid!"

……

Yanjing, Naval Military Port Terminal.

The dark steel helmet rises and falls, and under the helmet are young faces.

The youngest is only eighteen or nineteen years old.

The oldest one is only twenty-four or five years old.

The new generation, young Yanhua soldiers, with high-spirited fighting spirit on their faces, carrying flintlock guns on their backs, and wearing high-top canvas boots with rubber soles, made a neat clicking sound.

Loudly shouted 'Don't be afraid! Don't be afraid! Don't be afraid! '.

Board a hybrid commercial ship.

The steam transport ships belonging to the Navy and Army Logistics Department all followed the rescue team headed by Zhou Chao back to the Ming Dynasty.

Therefore, after receiving the order to set off for Malacca, the army could only follow Yanhua's mobilization system and immediately recruit merchant ships.

In this regard, maritime merchants actively cooperated.

The maritime merchants were not dissatisfied because they were drafted to transport troops and could only barely maintain transportation costs.

Even more so, due to the limited number of ships required for mobilization.

There are many merchant ships at sea.

Maritime merchants also came up with various ways to compete for this glorious mission.

Finally, the Maritime Chamber of Commerce had to step in to coordinate and distribute tasks.

The reason why maritime merchants are so active.

First of all, it was due to the businessmen's recognition of the Yanhua regime and their sense of honor as a Yanhua person.

This situation is very common throughout Yanhua.

Secondly, defeating the Chen Dynasty this time will have great benefits for Yanhua's factory owners, maritime merchants, workers, and even farmers.

In recent years, Yanhua's industrial and commercial development has been greatly restricted by the Chen Dynasty's control of Malacca.

Once the Chen Dynasty is defeated.

The Strait of Malacca will be controlled by Yanhua.

Yanhua's goods can be easily transported to the more distant West.

This maritime Silk Road emerged from the Tang Dynasty.

Yanhua has been looking forward to it for many years.

Now, it’s finally time to put it into practice.

What's more, this war is a just war. After the Chen Dynasty is defeated, the suffering people of the Chen Dynasty will soon enjoy the same political and economic rights as the people of Yanhua!
……

Navy here.

Minister of the Navy Lu Zhen personally represented the navy and assisted the army in its departure.

Ye Cheng and other veterans who had retired with the rank of general also came to witness Yanhua's prosperous age.

Ye Cheng stood behind Lu Zhen, listening to the noise of the middle and lower-level army generals trotting past in front of him. He couldn't help but laughed angrily and said: "Tan Yuan, Liu Sheng, be careful. I will sue the prince for sowing discord between the navy and the army!"

These two bastards.

In order to stimulate the army's fighting spirit, they actually used the navy as their gimmick.

Tan Yuan carried two golden stars on his shoulders and said with a sneer: "General Ye, it's almost the end of the year now. In the past few years, you good fellows in the Navy have replaced sixteen armored ships in one go. The spending is enough for us to arm a town..."

……

"This time, Yu Jing commanded sixteen armored ships and directly annihilated all 230 large and small warships of the Chen Dynasty. This result shocked the whole world!"

"Our army has maintained two towns, four mixed associations, and one mixed cavalry association for so many years. Look at this troop dispatch, one town is still stranded in Xufu Province, and one mixed association is left in Yanjing. We can use it , there is only one town, three mixed infantry associations, and one mixed cavalry association..."

……

"Lao Liu and I can't help it. The brothers below are too aggressive in asking for progress..."

Ye Cheng glared at Tan Yuan who counted the Army's property with his fingers.

He laughed and cursed: "Shut up, you idiot!"

However, he could not deny Tan Yuan's words.

The new ironclad ships equipped by the navy are indeed too expensive.

Just like Tan Yuan said.

The construction cost of an ironclad ship alone, not counting the maintenance costs during later use, is enough to arm an army town.

With the increase in steel production, the cost of covering the layer of steel plates is not huge.

The real high cost of ironclad ships is mainly concentrated in steam engines and new large-caliber and powerful naval guns.

The cost of a naval gun is comparable to the cost of building half an army artillery battalion!
An ironclad ship must be equipped with thirty such guns!
The production process of large-caliber and powerful artillery such as naval guns is many times more difficult than that of more powerful coastal defense guns.

Not to mention the steam engine.

Naval steam engine.

and the steam engine on the factory production line, although they are both called steam engines.

But the construction materials and construction techniques are far beyond the steam engines on the production line.

A naval steam engine is not a large boiler.

Let’s take the Marquis-class battleships currently equipped in the navy as an example.

The power cabin has four sets of steam engines, which can independently drive the four blades of the ironclad.

At the same time, they can also be combined in series to provide power to one paddle.

The complexity of this design alone has pushed up the cost several times.

That’s all.

To achieve better steam propulsion.

The four sets of steam engines all use small boilers.

The so-called small boiler is a high-pressure boiler above the combustion chamber used to boil water. It is not like the factory production line where there is only a huge boiler above the combustion chamber.

The boiler above the combustion chamber of a naval steam engine is composed of one hundred small boilers.

The high-temperature flame in the combustion chamber can heat the water in the boiler over a larger area from the gaps in the small boilers.

At the same time, in each small boiler, due to the small volume of water, it heats up quickly and can produce more steam.

……

In short, this process is extremely complicated.

As a result, the construction cost of ironclad ships is very scary.

Even with Yanhua's current wealth, in the past two years, the prince and the cabinet had to grit their teeth and build a total of sixteen ironclad ships for the navy at a rate of eight ships per year!

Lu Zhen, who had been watching the army officers board the ship without speaking, turned her head.

He looked at Tan Yuan and Liu Sheng with a smile, "Don't worry, I will not support Yu Jing's plan of four vertical and four horizontal fleets."

The ironclad ship was built.

After Yu Jing saw the power of ironclad ships, he came up with a four-vertical and four-horizontal fleet plan within the navy.

It was proposed that four battle columns be built.

Each column must be equipped with eight ironclad ships, for a total of thirty-two ships in the four columns.

Each column must be equipped with sixteen wooden transport ships powered by steam engines.

In Yu Jing's design.

In this way, each column is equipped with reinforced transport ships using ordinary steam engines, which can ensure that a fleet can sail at sea for half a year without the need for land supplies.

have to say.

Yu Jing’s idea is really good.

A column fleet thus configured.

It can almost represent Yanhua, walking in every corner of the ocean.

However, Yanhua's current finances cannot afford this huge shipbuilding plan.

At the same time, it is unable to support the navy and visit various countries around the sea to spread Yanhua's influence.

In addition, he believes that the technology of ironclad ships will definitely develop and progress in the future.

There is no need to spend all the navy budget on the shipbuilding plan at once.

Facts have proved that the Yanhua Navy, with sixteen ironclad ships, is already the most powerful naval force.

Adding ironclad ships constitutes the waste of force theory proposed by Ye Cheng and others.

"Our sixteen armored ships have all achieved such glorious results. I wonder what will happen to the prince and those who hate the prince after the news returns to the Central Plains..."

The worry flashed away in Lu Zhen's eyes.

He continued: "So, in the future, the Navy will not add new ships, and a large part of the Navy's budget will be allocated to support the research of shipbuilding technology."

That's what he thinks.

Perhaps, at his age, he is no longer able to compare with the hot-blooded young people like Yu Jing when it comes to new naval warfare.

But he is more stable than Yu Jing and others, and has considered more things.

This was also the reason why the prince retained him and asked him to serve as Minister of the Navy when he originally planned to retire with his sworn brothers.

At that time, the prince also commented like this.

Now, the Navy provides part of the research funding to the shipyard, allowing the shipyard to carry out technical reserves.

After the technology has accumulated and made great progress, one or two test ships will be built.

After verification, continue research and technical reserves...

In this way, when the naval forces of other regimes catch up with Yanhua's navy, they will find that Yanhua has come up with more advanced technology.

Only in this way can the technological superiority of Yanhua Navy be guaranteed.

It will not put a big burden on the finances.

"Here you go, you fight well. As long as you fight well, in this year's year-end budget, I, the Navy Minister, will also support the expansion of your army. I dare not promise anything else. I will at least support your army. With the current establishment, at least Expand one town and add a mixed association."

The Yanhua Army has only two reorganized towns so far.

In the past, so many troops could not be used.

Moreover, there are not many generals under the prince who can serve as town-level generals.

In the earliest days, the prince himself commanded a town and asked Tan Yuan to assist and teach Tan Yuan step by step. Only then did Tan Yuan barely have the ability to serve as the commander of a town.

The new army is different from the army with cold weapons.

It's more complicated.

After Liu Sheng came, the second reorganized town, the Second Town, was established.

In recent years, Zhou Lang, the leader of the mixed cavalry association, has participated in the Luzon purge campaign.

The Battle of Japan.

This time, he will also participate in the battle to destroy Chen.

Zhou Lang, who used to be a small government official in Jiangning County, had already developed his ability to lead troops, especially his ability to command cavalry.

It's time for Yanhua to establish a reorganized cavalry town as a strategic strike force.

Simultaneously.

Once the Chen Dynasty is destroyed.

A reorganization town must be stationed in the Chen Dynasty.

In the current second town, it is inevitable to transfer to Chen Chao.

and.

With the intense impact of this naval battle, the results spread.

He could not predict what impact it would have on the internal affairs of the Ming Dynasty, the prince and the prince family.

In the future, how far will the Ming Dynasty under the leadership of Prince Zhu Biao and the prince's Yanhua go?

Plan ahead.

Taking advantage of the stable situation in these years, it is necessary to expand the army.

Now, Yanhua's navy and army have a total strength of 100,000.

Excluding the more than 15,000 people in the Navy.

The army has only 85,000 men.

If something goes wrong with the prince.

Eighty-five thousand people are not enough.

Yanhua must have at least 200,000 infantry troops!

……

The army generals led by Tan Yuan and Liu Sheng were all stunned by Lu Zhen's thoughts.

They didn't expect that Lu Zhen would think so long-term.

At least support the army and form a force of 200,000!

With such a force, even if it assists the prince in fighting back to the Central Plains, I'm afraid he can give it a try, right?
Gulu!

Lu Zhen heard the sound of everyone swallowing their saliva and said with a smile: "The prince's ambition is not in the Central Plains, we all know it. I also know that in fact, in these years, everyone has watched our Yanhua being wronged, and has seen that the prince has never fully imitated and learned from Yanhua. Hua, let the folks in the Central Plains live a good life. In fact, I also have the momentary indignation in my heart to fight back to the Central Plains."

Everyone couldn't help laughing.

This kind of thinking will indeed lead to watching Ming treat Yanhua and the prince unfairly at some point.

Looking at the people in the Central Plains, they are still living a difficult life.

will occur at a certain moment.

However, after calming down, no one had such thoughts.

After all, they also watched their grandson grow up beside the prince.

Although the prince and princess did not say anything to the outside world.

In fact, everyone has a clear mind, and they all know that after personally raising and teaching him for several years, the grandson's weight in the hearts of the prince and princess is as important as that of the prince.

In fact, they also regard their great-grandson as the biological son of the prince and princess.

This is not just Yanhua officials and generals like them.

The factory owners and merchants in Yanhua actually thought the same way.

Especially after the grandson got married to the prince and princess’s students, the green-picking girl.

This sense of identity is even stronger. Otherwise, how could the factory owners and businessmen of Yanhua support Taisun so vigorously!

To put it bluntly, in everyone's minds, the grandson who will inherit the Ming Dynasty in the future will be the prince's other son who will inherit the Ming Dynasty.

If not.

Do you really think that everyone is made of clay?
Is the firearm in your hand a fire stick?
For so many years, have you chosen to tolerate the prince’s behavior?

If it weren't for your majesty above, there would be a grandson below.

This time, it is not about destroying Chen.

I'm afraid everyone from top to bottom will be shouting, fight back to the Central Plains and save the people of the Central Plains!
……

"Therefore, the army's expansion of 200,000 troops is to cope with the new situation in the future, to defend, and to expand our Yanhua territory all over the world."

Lu Zhen paused for a moment, then waved her big hand: "But if, one day, something happens to the grandson, or the prince is too aggressive, we can also send troops to the Central Plains overnight. As long as we send one hundred thousand troops, first Seizing Fujian, we have a very good public opinion foundation in Fujian, and the topography of Fujian is very conducive to defense. As long as we consolidate the seizing of Fujian for one year, we can use the human resources of Fujian and Yanhua to form a strong army of 300,000. The troops were divided into two groups, one with the cooperation of the navy, along the Jiangsu and Zhejiang regions, heading directly to Jinling, the other to attack Guangxi and into Sichuan and Shu..."

……

bang bang bang...

In the midst of the navy's cannon salute, with Lu Zhen's words echoing in their minds, Tan Yuan and Liu Sheng took a merchant ship and left Yanjing Bay.

Lu Zhen took Ye Cheng and others and stood at the military port, watching the soldiers leave.

for a long time.

Wait for the fleet to move away and disappear from sight.

Ye Chengcai looked away, smiled bitterly and whispered: "Brother, your last words today were a bit harsh, and I'm afraid they will reach the prince's ears soon. People like Tan Yuan will definitely not hide anything from the prince. "

Lu Zhen smiled and said, "I just want the prince to know."

"Although the prince has fought back tit-for-tat against the prince's actions over the years, the intensity is still too small. It is undeniable that the prince is indeed a hero, but when dealing with the prince, he always has many concerns and will worry about his majesty's feelings. I also have to worry about my grandson’s feelings…”

……

"When we fight back, we will inevitably be a little helpless."

"But the prince has forgotten that the prince is a Machiavellian who grew up in the traditional imperial education."

"People like this don't understand Yanhua's struggle and compromise at all. For people like the prince, as long as you don't make him feel pain to the bone, this kind of Machiavellian will not stop. After suffering some losses, he will Unconvinced, he believed that as the crown prince and the eldest brother, he should not suffer! Such people are usually very benevolent and righteous, and have a reputation for virtue, but that is when they take the lead and have the advantage."

"We have all been with Chen Youliang. Prince Zhu Biao is definitely better than Chen Youliang, but people like them all have one thing in common. When they are the most powerful, they can generously let you enjoy the glory and wealth with him, but once they think , when you have the possibility of surpassing them, they will be very cruel when they take action."

Such people cannot tolerate others being better than themselves.

Nor can we accept that others are better than ourselves and are better than ourselves.

"If you think about it carefully, is this what the prince has done in these years? He could have directly asked the prince for technical support, but would the prince still help him? But what about him? Instead, he used Jin Yiwei to steal it and let Chen Chao A 25-year-old boy cooperates with him!"

"I have no thoughts of returning to my roots and returning to the Central Plains. I just cannot accept that the Yanhua established by the prince will encounter any turmoil in the future. I cannot bear it. All this beauty will be destroyed in one day!"

"We fought in the Central Plains for more than ten years, and in the end we became losers. But now, we can personally participate in building a prosperous dynasty like Yanhua. Anyone who wants to destroy Yanhua will be my undying enemy, Lu Zhen!"

……

Ye Cheng and others nodded silently.

Understood.

Why did they take the initiative to resign and retire?

Isn't it bad to be in charge of troops on the front line and have real power?
Isn't it because you feel that leaving these old guys will be more beneficial to the development of Yanhua's navy?

Their true love for Yanhua prompted them to give up their real power and retire voluntarily for the sake of Yanhua's development.

In the Central Plains, for the sake of glory and wealth, the ambitious people fought life and death for more than ten years.

Then His Majesty will unify the Central Plains.

Everyone became a homeless dog, wandering on the sea.

After meeting the prince, he joined the prince, witnessed the growth of Yanhua, and discovered that everyone can still live like this.

In fact, if we talk about the extreme persistence in defending Yanhua’s achievements.

These old guys are no worse than young people like Tan Yuan and Yu Jing!
They cherished all the beauty that the prince led them to create.

……

Just act as the Yanhua Navy and completely annihilate the Chen Dynasty Navy.

The Yanhua army took merchant ships and dared to attack Chen Dynasty in a mighty manner.

……

Half a month later.

A mighty team, carrying thousands of fine war horses, entered Jinling City.

"Mongol?"

"Why did the Mongols come to our Jinling?"

"Don't you know? This is Simon Gu's envoy. It is said that he came to ask the imperial court for help in exterminating the locusts. These war horses must be gifts to the imperial court."

"Look, Mr. Zhou is also in the team!"

"There is also the Prime Minister Zuo. The Prime Minister Zuo is also in the team!"

……

The people looked at the envoy led by Tupolo and talked a lot.

……

Tupolo looked at Zhou Chao and waved in response to the cheers of thanks from the people of Jinling. He turned to Fang Xiaoru thoughtfully and said, "Master Zuo Xiang, Mr. Xiao Zhou is also from the Central Plains, but I think some of their behaviors are not the same as yours." Very different."

Not to mention anything else.

In the Ming Dynasty, no one responded to the low-level ants like Zhou Chao.

Fang Xiaoru smiled bitterly.

How can he explain this?

Could it be that Tupolo was told that Yanhua did not have an extremely strict hierarchy like the Ming Dynasty?

In this case, in the face of the people's cheers for him.

He didn't even dare to respond.

It’s not that I don’t want to.

But don’t dare!

In the absence of complete innovation in Ming Dynasty.

If he responds to the people like Xiao Zhou Chao, I am afraid that some political opponents will label him as a man who wants to buy people's hearts.

Moreover, before the strict hierarchy is completely broken.

It is true that you cannot do it, and you cannot allow others to do this kind of thing.

He would not allow such people to appear among the reformists.

Without completing the reform, the appearance of such a person will have a huge influence on the people, and once ambition sprouts.

For the Ming Dynasty, it must be a disaster!
Fang Xiaoru could only explain vaguely: "On the basis of inheriting the culture of the Central Plains, Yanhua introduced the old and brought forth the new, and developed a better civilized culture. There, the children of King Yan often appeared among the people, and the people would not produce any sensation……"

Listen carefully to Tupolo.

In fact, he knows all this.

After Mahamu returned, he described everything about Yanjing for them.

Before, he really didn't believe it.

However, since the rescue team really defeated the locust plague sent by God and got to know Zhou Chao along the way, he began to believe it.

I also understand deeply.

Why is Mahamu so eager?

When Tupolo saw that Zhou Chao had finished greeting the people, he turned around, smiled and clasped his fists: "Mr. Xiao Zhou, when the time comes, I hope you can say a few kind words for our grassland in front of His Majesty the Ming Emperor, so that His Majesty the Emperor can , with great kindness, pity the ordinary herdsmen on the grassland, didn’t King Yan say that the Central Plains and the grassland have been brothers since ancient times? Although both of us have various conflicts of interest in history and at present, we are like Two brothers living separately, if one family is really in trouble, the other family will definitely not stand idly by, right?"

Fang Xiaoru's lips twitched and she was almost amused.

Trying his best to hold back his laughter, he looked at Zhou Chao, wanting to see how Zhou Chao would answer.

The corners of Zhou Chao's lips twitched, and goosebumps appeared all over his body.

He smiled and said: "I have met many Mongolians. For example, the former King of Liaoyang who now leads the Mongolian nobles and is responsible for the research of Mongolian literature and history. However, the Mongolians I have seen are not at all the same as the leader Ba Tu Polo. They are more Direct and more refreshing..."

He smiled at Tu Polo and was not angry.

After Zhou Chao made a simple joke, he smiled and said: "My master did say that the Central Plains and the grasslands have been brothers since ancient times. This has been best proved in Yanhua. Today, there are hundreds of thousands of Mongolian people , we have lived a good life in Yanhua, living in harmony with each other, very harmonious. As a Yanhua person and a descendant of the Yanhuang people, I also uphold the ideals of the master. I will speak up in front of the master, but how much effect can it have? I can't guarantee it. I think that since the leader also admits that we are brothers, we should take the initiative to show goodwill to the Ming Dynasty. After all, in the past hundred years, when you ruled the Central Plains, you were During their reign, they did do a lot of things that hurt each other's feelings."

"Looking at our Central Plains, the leader has seen everything in the Mongolian-Han Demonstration Area this time, right?"

Tupolo's mouth almost became angry.

It is undeniable that the Mongolian-Han Demonstration Zone really leaves people speechless.

But this was not caused by Daming!

It’s King Zhu Di of Yan!
At best, the Ming Dynasty just followed the policies left by King Zhu Di of Yan, and Xiao Gui followed Cao Cao.

Before the Mongolian-Han Demonstration Zone, the Ming Dynasty's policies towards them were actually the same as their policies towards the Central Plains a hundred years ago.

In fact, they are not afraid of Ming Dynasty's previous strategy on the grassland.

On the contrary, I was very afraid, even terrified, of the Mongolian-Han demonstration area created by King Zhu Di of Yan.

That is a policy that truly annihilates the grasslands!
At a loss, King Zhu Di of Yan fled to the Central Plains.

Otherwise, I'm afraid it won't take twenty or thirty years.

Herdsmen throughout the grassland will happily accept their identity as descendants of the Yan and Huang Dynasties and be completely assimilated into the Central Plains. From then on, the grassland will become part of the Central Plains territory.

Of course, these words cannot be spoken.

Ba Tupolo solemnly said: "This time, the Left Prime Minister and Mr. Xiao Zhou have also known our sincerity. They should understand that we sincerely want to live in brotherly harmony with the Ming Dynasty."

……

An hour later.

Fang Xiaoru personally arranged for Tupolo and his party to stay behind the hall.

Taking Zhou Chao with him, he hurriedly entered the palace.

Just arrived near the Imperial Study Room.

Then he saw Zhu Yuanzhang, the prince, grandson and everyone in the cabinet waiting outside the imperial study.

Fang Xiaoru and Zhou Chao quickly quickened their pace.

"Meet the Master (His Majesty)!"

"Get up!" Zhu Yuanzhang said, he personally helped Zhou Chao up, looked at Zhou Chao, nodded with satisfaction, patted Zhou Chao on the shoulder, and said: "Okay! Okay! Okay! I can be a teacher for outstanding children like you." , it’s our honor!”

Behind him, the expressions of Qi Tai and Huang Zicheng changed.

Isn’t it just to control the locust plague?

Emperor Zhu also praised this boy who studied miscellaneous arts too much!

Zhou Chao didn't know how to answer for a while, and kept laughing and scratching his head.

Haha ...

He immediately made Zhu Yuanzhang laugh heartily, grabbed Zhou Chao's hand, and said, "Let's go to the Imperial Study Room and explain it to Master in detail."

……

In the imperial study room.

Zhou Chao described the governance process and governance results in detail.

Finally, he concluded: "Master, now the locust plague in the demonstration area has been effectively contained. In another month, the chickens released should be captured. From now on, in the demonstration area, people will raise some chickens freely to cooperate with starlings and other birds." The natural enemies of locusts, birds, will soon re-form a stable biological chain..."

……

"However, as industrial activities become more and more frequent, people's impact on the environment and the biological chain will be increasingly greater in the future."

"Natural disasters like this one will definitely occur more frequently. If we want to prevent disasters before they break out, it is best for the court to cultivate a team with the ability to detect changes in the environment and biological chains..."

……

"It won't work without development. To develop, we must be prepared for human intervention to adjust the biological chain."

……

Zhu Yuanzhang listened carefully and nodded from time to time.

When Zhou Chao was behind the words, he said: "Master, I know. Later, the master's association will select a group of smart and studious children from ordinary people's homes and send them to Yanjing. The imperial court will fund it and entrust your research team to help train them. This can good?"

Zhou Chao smiled and said: "This is the best. Before leaving, the master said this, but the master should not choose those who are particularly smart or too smart. I am afraid they don't like to study biology and other miscellaneous subjects. It is best to choose those who , People who can endure hardships and endure temper, in fact, do not need to be too smart to engage in research, the main thing is to be patient, be able to endure loneliness for more than ten years."

Zhu Yuanzhang was thoughtful after hearing these words.

Of course he didn't doubt what Xiao Zhou Chao said.

Instead, think about Xiao Zhouchao’s requirement to select researchers.

This must be what the fourth child thinks.

Putting away his thoughts, he asked with a smile: "What do you think of Mongolia's request for help?"

Zhou Chao scratched his head, blushed slightly, and said honestly: "Master, I am not very familiar with the interactions between these countries and forces. What I said is what the master told me. Before leaving, the master told me I told you that if Mongolia asks me for help, the master wants me to agree..."

"Why!" Huang Zicheng asked suddenly.

Interrupt Zhou Chao.

Zhu Yuanzhang frowned slightly.

Zhou Chao didn't mind and replied: "My master said..."

Zhou Chao told Zhu Di exactly what he said.

After Zhou Chao's words, Fang Xiaoru then said: "Your Majesty, the envoy hinted that if the court can agree to help, the various Mongolian tribes are willing to pay tribute to the Ming Dynasty, and the three Mongolian tribes, Mahamu, Batu Polo and Taiping The leader is willing to send his son to Jinling as a pledge."

"Then agree." Zhu Yuanzhang said straightforwardly.

He didn't care about Ximen Gu claiming to be a vassal, paying tribute, or sending out protons.

He cared about Lao Si's analysis.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Zhou Chao, "It's just that I have to work hard for you little guy again."

Zhou Chao smiled and said, "It's not hard work. On weekdays, in order to understand the biological chain of a place, we set up tents in the forest full of mosquitoes, often staying there for several months..."

"His Majesty!"

At this moment, a voice from outside the hall interrupted Zhou Chao's words.

Everyone turned their heads.

Then Jiang Wei, who had followed Zhu Yuanzhang back to Jinling, hurriedly approached and came to Zhu Yuanzhang's imperial case. Holding the secret memorial in both hands, he loudly said: "Your Majesty, a great victory in the South China Sea. Yanhua's 16 armored ships wiped out 230 Chen Dynasty ships." Toward the navy warship!”

Wow!

There was a sound of a chair falling to the ground.

Zhu Biao, Huang Zicheng, Qi Tai and others suddenly stood up and stared at Jiang Yu's hand in surprise.
