Mixed with salted fish in Hongwudang

"Did Ming call?"

When Emperor Ganjin heard the news, he felt bad.

As far as he knew, the main army of the Ming Dynasty was taken to the Western Regions by His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty.Even the navy of the Ming Dynasty is partly in the far west and partly in the far east. There are not many people in the Ming Dynasty.

"how many people?"

"do not know!"

"It's overwhelming! It's overwhelming!"

The Ming Dynasty's Kinyi Uishan Honjiro, who was lurking in Kyoto, heard the news and immediately sent a telegram to the Ming Dynasty to inform the Ming Dynasty of the good news of the king's attack on Kyoto.

However, the Ming cabinet was confused after receiving the news from Yamamoto Jiro. They did not send troops to attack Japan at all.

Gao Ming looked at the telegram for a long time and asked around the people around him.

"Do you know about this?"

The others shook their heads when they heard this.

"I don't know!"

"What we know is the same as Mr. Ge. We only know that the Ming Dynasty sent thirty merchant ships to meet the Ming army stationed in Japan. We never knew that the Ming Dynasty sent troops to attack Japan."

"That's weird..."

Seeing Gao Ming's puzzled expression, everyone began to speculate.

"Mr. Gao Ge, could this be the fault of His Majesty the Emperor?"

"Your Majesty the Emperor?"

Gao Ming had no idea when he heard this and could only knock on Lao Zhu's door.

"Dong dong dong..."

"Come in!"

"The minister is paying homage to His Majesty the Emperor. I wonder if His Majesty the Emperor will receive this telegram?"

As Gao Ming spoke, he handed the telegram to the eunuch beside him, who passed it to Lao Zhu.

Lao Zhu took the telegram and looked at it, showing an expression even more doubtful than Gao Ming's.

"This……"

Seeing that His Majesty didn't know, Gao Ming couldn't help but asked curiously.

"Does His Majesty not know about this?"

Lao Zhu shook his head honestly.

"In our whole life as a soldier, how have we ever been in danger?"

"The purpose of sending out five thousand new recruits this time is to allow them to bring the veterans back home, but I never thought of letting them charge into the war!"

"These are the seeds of generals carefully cultivated by our grandson. How can we, an old man who looks after the house, be willing to let them die!"

Seeing Lao Zhu say this, Gao Ming became even more confused.

"Since His Majesty the Emperor did not send troops, could it be that His Majesty the Emperor personally deployed them?"

"he?"

Lao Zhu was also excited when he heard this.

"Then Nisun is pretending to be sick, right?"

When Gao Ming heard this, there was a trace of horror in his eyes, but the more he thought about it, the more it seemed possible.

This traitor has been out of tune since he was a child, and he might actually be able to do such outrageous things!

"Why don't His Majesty the Emperor ask General Lan Yu?"

Lao Zhu smiled and shook his head when he heard this.

"You can't count on that bitch. He will definitely help his nephew and grandson deceive us. We'd better ask..."

"Ahem, you go down first, we have our own way of distinguishing this matter!"

As soon as Gao Ming heard this, he knew that Lao Zhu had placed an undercover agent next to Xiao Zhu, and he quickly slipped out to avoid suspicion, but he couldn't help but look back when he walked to the door.

"Your Majesty, if there is really any news about Your Majesty, I must give Wei Chen some relief so that Wei Chen can feel confident..."

Lao Zhu felt funny in his heart when he saw Gao Ming looking at him almost pleadingly.

Although this old guy has nothing to do with us, he really cares about our eldest grandson!

"Okay, okay, we will definitely give you a letter!"

Lao Zhu sent Gao Ming away and sneaked out with Qin Deshun.

He had a secret liaison station outside the palace. Not only the people in the court didn't know about it, not even Zhu Yunxi knew about it.

"Qin Deshun, is that bitch Wang De still reliable now?"

Qin Deshun shook his head when he heard this.

"It must be unreliable!"

"That bitch stopped listening to my slave after he went to Beigong, and he was just perfunctory about his orders."

"But I have been prepared for this. I have arranged a new spy in front of His Majesty in advance."

"That's good!"

"Hurry up and activate this hidden line and ask Ni Sun whether something really happened or a fake accident!"

"promise!"

Not long after, Qin Deshun finally contacted his hidden line, but the result was a bit unsatisfactory.

"Your Majesty, there was a reply over there. It's true that His Majesty was attacked and it's true that he was injured..."

Lao Zhu almost fainted when he heard this, but fortunately Qin Deshun quickly gave him a hand.

"Your Majesty, this servant hasn't finished speaking yet!"

"According to the secret message from the slave, His Majesty was not seriously injured. He jumped off the carriage by himself. He was very angry when he cursed..."

When Lao Zhu heard this, he raised his foot and kicked him over.

"You bitch, who taught you to talk and gasp!"

Qin Deshun had long expected Lao Zhu's kick, but for the sake of Lao Zhu's health, instead of hiding, he followed Lao Zhu's strength and moved back slightly.

"The emperor calm down!"

"If I hadn't been afraid of disturbing His Majesty, I would have contacted the secret agent long ago, and there would be no need for the Emperor to worry for so many days..."

After Lao Zhu made sure that Zhu Yunxi was fine, he was in a good mood for a while, but soon another problem emerged.

"Since Nisun is fine, why does he act like he is about to die? Who is he acting for?"

Qin Deshun's eyes swayed when he heard this and he closed his mouth tightly.

Don't say this randomly, as it might lead to the crime of alienating the Tian family.

"Ask him, was it Ni Sun who arranged the crusade against Japan?"

"promise!"

After a series of telegram inquiries, the other party finally replied an hour later.

"Reporting to your Majesty, according to the secret message from the servant, Kangdu has not heard of this matter. It should not be arranged by His Majesty."

"However, the informant also said one thing. He said that His Majesty the new emperor is preparing for a war to destroy the country. He should not have the energy to deal with the Japanese pirates in a short time..."

"Destroy the country?"

Lao Zhu's eyelids jumped when he heard this. Is this grandson addicted to destroying the country?
Since ancient times, those who have destroyed too many countries will not end well.

The reason why Qin died after two generations was that he suffered retribution for destroying too many countries!
Now that the Ming Dynasty has destroyed the Beiyuan and Chagatai Khanates, there is really no need to destroy other countries, so as not to make too many enemies for itself.

"Quickly ask, which one is destroyed, but the Timur Empire?"

"Timur is not guilty of any serious crime. If he is annihilated rashly, it will be unlucky. We must tell him not to act rashly!"

"Oh, I'm going to ask you this..."

Now Qin Deshun no longer cared about the issue of exposure or not, and kept asking about the activities on the other side.

In Kangdu City, Qin Xiaoxin looked at the non-stop telegrams and was so anxious that he almost went crazy.

Didn't you agree not to contact me if nothing happens? Why are you still asking me today?
"I asked who to beat..."

"Timur!"

"It is said that Timur is not guilty, and his destruction is ominous!"

After hearing this, Qin Xiaoxin looked at his colleagues who were busy and saw that no one was paying attention to him, so he quickly replied.

"How can I say that Tamerlane is not guilty of assassinating His Majesty?"

In Nanjing City, Lao Zhu, who had just thought that the country had been destroyed too much and was afraid of being punished by God, was so angry that his veins popped out after seeing this telegram.

"His mother-in-law, Timur, a straight and thief, dares to assassinate our eldest grandson?"

"We are just too old, otherwise our special mother-in-law would have to take the lead and crush that bitch's balls!"

After Lao Zhu finished swearing, he waved his sleeves.

"go!"

"Let's go back to the palace!"

"Although we can't lead the expedition in person now, there is still no problem in preparing some troops for our eldest grandson!" "Alas..."

Lao Zhu returned to the palace angrily, and immediately began to summon the people from the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies and the Ministry of War, and mobilized troops from guard posts across the Ming Dynasty.

"No matter what, you have to squeeze out 20 people for us!"

"Your Majesty, the Ming Dynasty Guards really can't spare any manpower now. Not to mention 20, even [-] can't be spared!"

"Once 20 are mobilized, the local area will be empty of troops. Once a rebellion occurs, the court will not be able to mobilize troops to quell the rebellion..."

Lao Zhu slapped the table domineeringly and cursed.

"We don't care!"

"Our eldest grandson has been assassinated. If we, the grandfather, can't spare any troops, we might as well die!"

"what?"

The people in the Fifth Army Governor's Mansion and the Ministry of War were all dumbfounded when they heard this. The rumors were true. Not only was His Majesty the new emperor seriously ill, but he became ill because he was assassinated!

"I understand, I will dispatch 20 troops to support Your Majesty and avenge Your Majesty!"

Now Zhu Yunxi has long become the core of both the military and political circles of the Ming Dynasty. The military hopes to follow him to achieve greater glory. The civil servants are happy to eat the benefits he provides and praise him as a model of a saint.

In fact, it was easy to become a sage in the feudal dynasty. Be tolerant to the officials and give them more benefits, and they would praise you as being more sage than Yao and Shun.

This is what Zhu Yunxi did. Not to mention high salary to maintain integrity, but after he came to the throne, he also really improved the welfare benefits of grassroots officials.

For low-level officials in Beijing, he not only paid out their salaries on time, but also never used peppercorns, straw sandals and other physical objects as salary payments like Lao Zhu did. He also never gave them Ming Dynasty treasure notes that were too hard to wipe their buttocks.

With these two items alone, the civil servants in the capital praised Zhu Yunxi to a level that was rare in heaven and unparalleled on earth.

In addition, Zhu Yunxi built public rental housing for Beijing officials, allowing poor Beijing officials to bid farewell to the embarrassment of renting a house, and directly provided free houses to officials with outstanding performance.

Under these measures, [-]% of the officials in the capital shed tears of gratitude to Zhu Yunxi.

Urged by a joint letter from the Ministry of War and the Governor's Office of the Fifth Army, the 20-strong army was actually squeezed out of hundreds of Ming Dynasty guard posts, and then urgently transferred to the Kangdu area to avenge the new emperor.

Iwami Port, Japan.

Wei Ming and Yan Yi stood on the wooden bridge at the port, watching the thirty large ships slowly entering the port.

"Master Wei, what are you talking about? Beizhi has already said that Ming Dynasty will not leave us alone and will definitely send someone to help us!"

When Wei Ming saw the ship flying the flag of the Ming Dynasty, he finally let go of his worries, but he defended himself.

"I have never been worried. I am just afraid that the court will be busy with affairs and forget about the two of us."

Yan Yi smiled when he heard this and did not expose Wei Ming's words.

"Actually, even if the imperial court doesn't send anyone to respond, given the strength of our Shijian City, there will be no problem in defending it for a year or two."

"As long as the Ming Dynasty merchant ship continues to replenish us with supplies, we can defend him for ten to eight years!"

"Is that so?"

Wei Ming's face was full of disbelief when he heard this. Although Shijian City is strong, it is an isolated city after all.

Thousands of them are now trapped in the heart of Japan. Even if they can hold on for a year or two, they won't be able to hold on for that long.

Wei Ming typically underestimated the military strength of the Ming Dynasty and overestimated the combat power of the Japanese court.

Yan Yi saw this, but was too lazy to correct Wei Ming's problem.

After all, Wei Ming was just a civilian official, and it was normal for civilian officials to not understand military matters.

"Sir Wei, even though you are in a humble position, come forward and see who is here to help us this time!"

"it is good!"

When the two saw someone coming off the boat, they greeted them enthusiastically.

Wei Ming frowned when he saw it was a young officer and found that he had no impression of this person.

On the contrary, Yan Yi did greet him with a smile and hugged the young officer.

"We were telling Mr. Wei that we didn't know who the imperial court would send to meet him, but it turned out that he sent you!"

"Come on, let me introduce to you, old uncle. This is Mr. Wei, our Ming Dynasty's special envoy to Japan. Everyone in our Ming Dynasty in Japan must listen to his orders!"

"Master Wei, I would like to introduce to you. This person is the child of Beizhong's third uncle's daughter-in-law's younger brother's family. His name is Feng Yuncheng. He is a student of the third batch of Maritime University. I have also had the honor to listen to His Majesty's lectures in person..."

When Wei Ming heard Yan Yi's introduction, he quickly bowed his hand politely.

"Turns out he is a disciple of the emperor, disrespectful and disrespectful!"

When Feng Yuncheng heard this, he quickly waved his hands modestly.

"Don't dare, don't dare. In our Maritime University, only the first batch of students dare to call themselves disciples of the Emperor. We juniors don't dare to say so."

"Feng Yuncheng has a humble position. He is the agent of Qianhu in the Jing Navy. Before his departure, His Majesty the Emperor appointed a temporary guerrilla general to fight against the Japanese. He is now reporting to Lord Wei and asking for instructions from Lord Wei!"

Yan Yi saw that Wei Ming was confused by the battle, so he quickly explained to him in a low voice.

"Sir, this is the rule they learned at the Maritime Academy. You can just say a few words!"

"oh oh……"

Even if Wei Ming has never been exposed to this, for a second-ranked Jinshi like him, he can know what the other person means by just observing his words and expressions.The reason why he was stunned was just the surprise of encountering such a situation for the first time.

"I don't have any instructions. I would like to ask General Feng and the brothers who have come from afar to disembark and rest first."

"Yes!"

Feng Yuncheng saluted with a military salute, turned and left while walking forward, and came to the dock to give orders to the officers who were coming down.

"According to Master Wei's order, everyone disembarks from the boat and rests..."

After Feng Yuncheng settled the soldiers, he came to Wei Ming again and asked for instructions.

Wei Ming really didn't have any instructions this time. He thought about it for a long time before he remembered something.

"By the way, did General Feng bring His Majesty's will when he came this time?"

"Have!"

When Wei Ming and Yan Yi heard this, they quickly knelt on the ground respectfully and listened to the imperial edict.

Feng Yuncheng was a little panicked when he saw the two people giving such a big gift.

"You two superiors do not need to be so courteous. His Majesty the Emperor only passed down oral instructions."

Wei Ming and Yan Yi said with serious faces after hearing this.

“Oral instructions must also be respected!”

"Please ask General Feng to pass on His Majesty's oral instructions!"

Seeing how serious the two of them were, Feng Yuncheng could only put away his joking smile.

"His Majesty the Emperor orally: We don't know what is going on over there with the Japanese pirates. You go over and see if our people have suffered any losses, and bring back whatever you can. If conditions don't allow, you can do whatever it takes."

"Remember, we must ensure the safety of our people, officers and soldiers in Ming Dynasty..."

When Wei Ming and Yan Yi heard this, they hurriedly shouted long live the mountain and kowtowed in thanks.

Wei Ming said happily after getting up from the ground.

"His Majesty the Tai Emperor truly loves his soldiers as much as his sons. We are truly lucky to be able to serve as ministers under His Majesty the Tai Emperor and His Majesty the new Emperor!"

Yan Yi heard the words and hurriedly echoed, but before he could echo a few words, he heard Wei Ming grab the words again.

"General Yan, General Feng, I wonder when you two think it would be better for us to evacuate?"

Yan Yi said without hesitation when he heard this.

"It depends on Mr. Wei's arrangements. When Mr. Wei says we will withdraw, we will withdraw."

Wei Ming heard this and looked at the soldiers who were disembarking one after another.

"How about we leave for Daming in three days?"

Yan Yi had no objection to this. He had already made enough, and he also knew that Wei Ming had long wanted to return to Ming Dynasty.

However, Feng Yuncheng suddenly became unhappy when he heard this. He came all the way and returned without making any military achievements, and was laughed at by fellow students at the same time.

"Master Wei, I think it is inappropriate for us to evacuate."

"Oh?"

"Didn't His Majesty the Emperor say that we should evacuate?"

"Master Wei, His Majesty the Emperor also said that we should do things easily..."

"Hong Kong believes that we already have 6000 people in Japan, and adding the 5000 people brought by Hong Kong, that's more than 1 people."

Wei Ming interrupted Feng Yuncheng.

"General Feng, do you know how many troops Japan has?"

Feng Yuncheng shook his head when he heard this.

"Please show me, my lord!"

Wei Ming sighed.

"Japan can gather at least 30 million troops!"

Feng Yuncheng's eyes lit up when he heard this.

"Does Japan only have this small army?"

"Master Wei, I have the advantage, I can win this battle!"
