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

Chapter 257 Prepare for Japanese!
Because Zhu Xi and Zhu Di came here, Zhu Su was no longer the most noble prince in Suzhou City.At this time, Zhu Xun sat at the top, the fourth eldest Zhu Di sat next to Zhu Xing on the left, and the fifth Zhu Su, Zhu Su, could only sit on the right.

Seeing Yang Lu carrying things in, Zhu Di and Zhu Su watched with cold eyes.Zhu Xi was quite interested, "What is this? Uncover it and let me see it!"

Yang Lu didn't notice any abnormalities on Zhu Su and Zhu Di's faces, he just thought it was because the Zhu family of the Tian family had strict rules, and now that his elder brother Zhu Xi was speaking on his behalf, the other two brothers naturally had to keep quiet.Smiling, he asked people to lift the curtains covering the three gifts, and saw a sudden light in the hall, and it turned out to be three coral trees that were several feet long!

Rao was feeling uneasy at this time, seeing these treasures suddenly, everyone present also took a breath of cold air.These three coral trees are radiant and inexplicably precious, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they are rare treasures.

"You have quite a lot of treasures in the treasury of Suzhou Weifu." Zhu Su couldn't help but mocked. "There are such rare and precious things."

"It's all thanks to Your Majesty and the three Highnesses Hong En." Yang Lu flattered. "These three precious trees were hidden somewhere in the city of Suzhou by Zhang Shicheng, the former king of Nacheng."

"By a coincidence, I, Suzhou Wei, took it into the public house. Now I just borrow flowers to offer Buddha to the three His Highnesses." He said with a smile to Zhu Su: "It was supposed to be presented to His Highness King Wu that day. , but I was so happy that day that I forgot about it.”

"However, it's just right now. The three precious trees and the three His Highnesses complement each other, don't they?"

Those officials in Suzhou below had weird eyes, they all peeked at the three Zhu family brothers above.Zhu Su, Zhu Di, and Zhu Xi looked at each other, and Zhu Xi said, "In this case, this king, Yan Wang, and Wu Wang will accept it."

"Commander Yang, please sit down, there is one important matter to discuss."

"Yes. Thank you, Your Highness King Qin." Yang Lu bowed half-kneeling, and the guards of King Qin took over these precious coral trees. first half sentence.

"You are all the pillars of the Suzhou Mansion. You must have known about the capture of the bandits in Taihu Lake last night." Seeing that everyone was already in their seats, Zhu Su got up from his chair and walked according to the previous plan. Come forward to preside over the overall situation.

"It's just that you may not know that before the leader of the bandit, Zhang Renqian, threatened us with big words, saying that a large army would march into this Suzhou mansion soon, and that he would slaughter us all in Suzhou, leaving no dog or dog behind. ..."

As soon as Zhu Su's words came out, everyone in the hall became restless.

"Dajun?" Someone asserted: "We all grew up in Suzhou, and we are the most familiar with the geography of Suzhou Prefecture. Every plant and tree here has been known since childhood."

"Where can I hide a large army that can break through the city? It must be that the thief deliberately threatened me before he died, in order to scare us."

"Regarding this point, the king, his staff and several brothers have already completed the investigation." Zhu Su spread his fan and said in a deep voice, "I'm afraid this army is not groundless."

"It is very likely that they are Japanese pirates!"

"Japanese pirates!" Everyone was shocked, and the scene suddenly became chaotic.

The origin of Japanese rebellion has been around for a long time, and there was already Japanese rebellion in the Yuan Dynasty.Su Song has always been rich and prosperous, and it was the hardest-hit area where the Mongolian Yuan taxed.

Often after the Japanese pirates plundered, the remaining food was not enough to pay the tax set by the Mongolian Yuan.It can be described as internal and external troubles.Therefore, Susong people's fear and disgust towards Japanese pirates is no less than that of Mongolian Yuan.

That is to say, in the troubled times at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, when Zhang Shicheng was in power, he built military affairs internally in order to fight for world supremacy, while the "One Piece King" Fang Guozhen was patrolling the sea outside. Got a moment of peace.

After the founding of the Ming Dynasty, although Japanese pirates were rampant in half of the south of the Yangtze River, it was still getting worse.But for some unknown reason, in the past few years, Suzhou has not been robbed by the first wave of Japanese pirates after the "Jianming".At this time, I suddenly heard that these villains who had appeared in memory are coming again, how can these people not panic?

"Your Highness's words are true?" Ru Taisu, the censor who patrols the river, looked extremely worried. "I don't know if there is any definite news. How many Japanese pirates are there? When will they arrive?"

"If there is, we need to take precautions early. If there is no definite news, we should also send a fast boat to investigate and warn along the coast..."

"I'm afraid we will plan for the worst. Since we dare to massacre the city, there should be at least [-] people." Zhu Su said.

"As for the exact time, I don't know. But I think it won't be too long."

Chen Hui and Zhang Ren and his party were small in number. They rushed to burn down the reserve warehouse and assassinate themselves. Their purpose must be to stir up chaos in the city, so as to prepare for Zhang Li's introduction of Japanese pirates into the city.

Then, this time will definitely not be much.Even if they managed to burn down the reserve warehouse and stir up the desperate refugees who had been deprived of food in the west of the city to start a riot, the chaos would not last long.Because when the imperial court learns about the chaos in the city and transfers relief food from other places, these refugees will surely settle down immediately.

But Zhang Chenyu's core group, with only a few hundred people, is simply unable to completely control the city of Suzhou and cooperate with the people inside and outside.Therefore, the time period for Japanese pirates to attack must not be longer than the time period for the imperial court to mobilize food and grass from other places.

Yingtian was not far from Suzhou, so the imperial court's response was bound to be swift.Then it will take no more than seven days to mobilize grain and grass to Suzhou.

In other words, within these seven days, Japanese pirates will definitely come from afar!

"The veteran will immediately close the four gates of Suzhou, and the whole city will be under martial law from today to guard against Japanese pirates!" Wei Guan, the prefect of Suzhou, couldn't sit still. "Besides, the minister is light-hearted, and please His Highness immediately write a book and go to the surrounding guards, and ask them to bring troops here to help."

"If the ministers come to the capital to write books and send troops to the capital, I'm afraid it will be too late. The three His Royal Highnesses are all here. If there is any good or bad, the old minister will die..."

On this side, many bureaucrats also nodded frequently, agreeing with Wei Guan's statement.

"If the prefect of Wei wants to close the city, do he want to abandon the other counties in Susong?" Wei Guan's old friend, Ru Taisu, who also had a completely different opinion from the good-natured Wei Guan, had a different opinion at this time. "How can we be sure that the Japanese pirates will come to attack Suzhou Mansion?"

"Those Japanese pirates came from far away by boat, and they didn't bring weapons for siege. The city of Suzhou is high and deep. Could it be that those Japanese pirates could use their bald, bald heads to directly smash open the city walls of Suzhou? "

"In my opinion, those Japanese people crossing the sea will definitely scatter and plunder. At that time, the villages and counties around me, Su Song, will suffer!"

"Since we know in advance that the Japanese are coming far away, we should gather our troops on the coast and wait for work, so as to wipe them all out on the coast. This is the best way to use troops!" Ru Taisu said.
