Daming: At the start of the showdown, Lao Zhu was stunned

Chapter 255 Japanese pirates! !
Unexpectedly, following Chen Hui's words, the furious Chang Mao immediately got up and asked Chen Hui to be dragged out of the cell again.But as expected, as Zhu Su was worried, when he killed those dead soldiers in front of Chen Hui, Chen Hui just laughed like a madman, but he didn't show any wavering or entanglement.

"Zhu Su, don't think about it! Don't think about it!" She shouted loudly.

screwed up...

"That woman is so cold-blooded, I'm afraid she has no compassion in her heart." Zhu Su shook his head.

Cold-blooded, to a certain extent, is also a kind of strength.

He felt extraordinarily tricky.

"...That bird woman, I'm afraid she's gone crazy." Chang Mao was covered in blood, panting slightly, and turned his head to look at Chen Hui's cell behind him.Torturing and killing several people like that in a row, even though he was always a big and three rough, he couldn't help but panic psychologically.

He really didn't expect that woman could stand it...

Not for nothing.This vicious woman would rather die all the soldiers loyal to her in vain than maintain the mystery of the Zhang family's so-called army.It can be seen that the army is indeed there.

And, maybe not on a small scale...

"Let me go." Zhu Xi gritted his teeth. "At this time, there is no need to worry about whether the punishment will be executed or not. Copying the words from that crazy woman's mouth is the business!"

"It's really not possible, it's the only way." Zhu Su also nodded. "Besides that, we should also send out people to catch those escaped fish that escaped from the city. We also have to send fast horses to warn the Taicang guards in the east, so that they are ready to rush to help."

"This city of Suzhou is guarded by more than 1 soldiers from the Suzhou Guard, so there should be no need for the Taicang Guard," Zhu Di said. "With [-] people stationed in this city, even if tens of thousands of troops come to attack, they can still rely on the city wall to defend it for a month."

"Besides, there is really some army coming, let me kill him seven in and seven out!" Zhu Lao Si was obviously eager to try.

"The enemy is dark and we are clear. What I am worried about is that they still have internal support in the city..." Zhu Su touched his chin.The fourth brother is right, to attack a big city like Suzhou, even if there is internal support, at least an army of more than [-] people is required.

How could this group of remnants lurking in the dark be able to bring out such a large army?
He scratched his hair irritably.I just feel helpless.

"Your Highness." Zhu Su was annoyed, when at the corner ahead, a Wu Wangwei unexpectedly came over.

"Your Highness, Mr. Yao is looking for you! I have something important to discuss with you."

"Monk Yao?" Zhu Su's eyes lit up, and he slapped his head suddenly.

How did you forget that there is still this think tank?
"Where is Monk Yao? Quickly take me to find him!" Zhu Su hurriedly walked a few steps, and after taking a few steps, he realized it.

"By the way, what does he need from me?"

"Your Highness." The guard hurriedly cupped his hands. "It's the Shen family."

"That Shen Hai from the Shen family was captured by Mr. Yao."

……

……

"What? Did Ma Fengsun come to look for you before the incident?"

In the Shen Garden, everyone in the Shen family knelt down on the ground tremblingly.Shen Wang's son, Shen Hai, knelt at the front, trembling like sifting chaff. Facing Zhu Su's question, he trembled all over, and couldn't utter a word for a long time.

Seeing that he was dumbfounded by fright, Yao Guangxiao had no choice but to stand up again. "Your Highness, according to what this son and the monk said just now, it is exactly so."

"Ma Fengsun, who is pretending to be a salt merchant, knows that Shen Hai has also been confiscated by you to hoard the stored grain, and he complains to you a lot when he is away on weekdays."

"So he approached Shen Hai secretly, intending to let Shen Hai wait for an opportunity to make trouble in Shen Garden, and it would be best to assassinate you."

As soon as these words came out, Shen Hai's father, Shen Wang, said "Ah" and fainted in the hall.Zhu Su only glanced at him, and had no time to pay attention to this "partner" who was quite inseparable on weekdays, and continued: "So, monk, you have seen the strangeness of the Shen family, so you deliberately sit in the Shen garden tonight, Caught the Shen family's cheating feet, right?"

"This Shen family is so brave!" Zhu Xi said sharply.

"Assassinate the prince? This king will let you wait for the nine clans today, and they will disappear in this Ming Dynasty!"

The Shen family immediately shouted their grievances loudly, being intimidated by Zhu Xi's python robe, many people couldn't stand Zhu Xi's coercion and passed out directly.Some even got up and cursed at Shen Hai for more than that, and the scene was chaotic for a while.

"Then Ma Fengsun said that to him, and this idiot just did it so stupidly?" Zhu Su pinched his nose and looked at the one who dared to yell at him before, but now he was scared out of a puddle. Liquid, sinking sea with a foul smell. "Ma Fengsun is not his own father, why is he listening to that fellow?"

"Of course Shen Hai won't be obedient and obedient." Yao Guangxiao put his hands together when he saw the joys and sorrows in the audience. "It was Ma Fengsun who prepared the way out for him."

"Ma Fengsun told him that he has connections on the sea. No matter whether it is success or failure, all he needs to do is sink into the sea and go to the sea. Naturally, we can't do anything to him."

"If things come to fruition, the Shen family can monopolize the glass business, and they will flourish from then on."

"If the matter fails, the ones involved will only be the main branch of the Shen family. His sinking into the sea is a side branch. Whether the main branch is dead or alive, anyway, he has nothing to do with him drifting on the sea."

"If he sinks into the sea, he can find a place overseas and start anew..."

"Oh, it's a good idea." Zhu Su sneered.It turned out that they planned to smuggle away, but from ancient times to the present, these criminal moths have always had ordinary abacus.

"What kind of door is the door on the sea that Ma Fengsun said?" Zhu Di who was beside him asked casually.

"Amitabha, Your Highness the Fourth Highness is a Japanese pirate." Yao Guangxiao said.

"...What is it?" Zhu Su felt something flash in his mind, and couldn't help being startled.

"Your Highness, they are Japanese pirates." Yao Guangxiao replied calmly.

"Japanese pirates!"

Zhu Su only felt that a certain door that had been tightly closed had suddenly opened in his mind.

"Fifth, you want to say..." Seeing Zhu Su's appearance, Zhu Di also realized something.

"The so-called 'big army' mentioned by those remnants refers to the Japanese pirates?"

"It must be so!" Zhu Su said firmly.

A few years ago, when the elder Zhu established the Ming Dynasty, the Japanese pirate rebellion in the south has never stopped since the Ming Dynasty.

Ming history records that during the Hongwu period, "Japanese pirates infested the islands, invaded and plundered Suzhou and Chongming several times, killed and wounded residents, seized property, and all coastal areas suffered.".

In the second year of Hongwu, "Japanese invaded Huai'an"; in the third year of Hongwu, "Japanese barbarians invaded Shandong, turned to plunder the people near the sea in Wen, Tai, and Mingzhou, and then invaded the coastal counties and counties of Fujian."; It was looted by the Japanese invaders.

Even in the seventh year of Hongwu, the Japanese monks entered the Ming Dynasty to pay tribute to horses and square objects, but the Ming Dynasty did not accept it. Instead, Lao Zhu issued a letter accusing the Japanese Emperor of "damaging goodness internally and plundering innocents externally", ordering him to Immediately rectify the Japanese chaos, but there is no response.

But to be honest, in fact, the so-called Japanese pirates are not all "Japanese Japanese" from Japan.At the end of the Yuan Dynasty, the Japanese invasion was actually not as severe as it is now.So why in the early Ming Dynasty, when Lao Zhu rectified people's livelihood and set up guards, the Japanese riots along the coast intensified and spread almost throughout the southeast?
There is an answer in the history books: "Zhang Shicheng, Fang Guozhen and the rest of the party led the Japanese to haunt the sea, burn the houses, and plunder the goods, from Liaohai and Shandong in the north, to Fujian, Zhejiang, and Dongyue in the south, and the coastal areas. "

Yes, at the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, the reason why the Japanese riots intensified suddenly was because Lao Zhu completely defeated many armed forces headed by Zhang Shicheng and Fang Guozhen.

This led to some powerful landlords who were still loyal to Zhang and Fang, and most of them went into exile overseas, living in the islands, pretending to be Japanese pirates, and making a comeback.

This is tantamount to giving another "heart booster" to the already serious Southeast Japanese plague.

In other words, the real power hidden behind these Zhang Chen remnants, the so-called "big army" they rely on, is not a natural disaster at all, nor is it a refugee.

It's those "Japanese pirates" drifting overseas, eyeing Daming, and always planning to wait for an opportunity!
