Daming: The system rejected my request for salted fish

Before coming to Fengxian Hall, Wei Wu also wondered why Old Zhu was so anxious to find him.

At first, he only thought about whether he wanted to discuss battlefield matters with him. After all, it had been agreed that he would also go to the eastern expedition against the Japanese pirates.

Unexpectedly, as soon as I entered the door, I heard the news that the Japanese pirates were looting again, and they also burned the village and killed people. My heart sank immediately.

At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang spoke again:

"Currently, this group of Japanese pirates is still in Tongzhou. Although they are few in number, their individual strength is extremely high, and their actions are meticulous and orderly."

"Ordinary yamen runners were no match for them. We had to send troops from the garrison, but they always escaped early after the several attempts we made to encircle and suppress them."

After hearing what Zhu Yuanzhang said, Wei Wu immediately responded.

"Uncle Zhu, do you suspect that the Japanese pirates had someone collaborating with them, and that they were able to escape the encirclement by working together from within and without?"

Zhu Yuanzhang never needed to hide anything in front of Wei Wu, and immediately expressed his doubts:

"That's right, if no one cooperated, they wouldn't be so lucky."

Indeed, if it happened only once or twice, it could be considered good luck, but it was such a coincidence every time that I escaped the encirclement in advance.

Even a fool can guess that there must be something wrong here, but the problem is that it is not so easy to investigate since the emperor is far away.

However, there was one thing Wei Wu didn't understand. Logically, he should have discussed a solution to the Japanese pirate attack with the Ministry of War.

It was a bit strange that Zhu Yuanzhang, who had no official position but only a title, called him to discuss things.

At this moment, Wei Wu suddenly thought of something, then looked up at Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao, and found that they were also looking at him.

"Uncle Zhu, you are not going to let me handle this matter, are you?"

"That's right!"

Upon hearing Zhu Yuanzhang's answer, Wei Wu immediately grinned.

"Uncle Zhu, you think highly of me. Those Japanese pirates are so difficult to deal with. Aren't you afraid that I will fall into their hands too?"

As soon as Wei Wu finished speaking, Zhu Yuanzhang looked at him with his eyes slanted, and then began to reveal Wei Wu's cards.

"You little brat, you don't really think I'm old and confused! If I didn't know your ability, would I let you do this?"

"You've trained the Impermanence Squad to be like killing machines. I'm afraid one person could kill a dozen Jinyiwei!"

"And the weapons you showed your brother in the teahouse, those were just a bunch of roving Japanese pirates. Was that difficult for you?"

Wei Wu could only scratch his head in embarrassment when Zhu Yuanzhang exposed his past in front of him.

"I'm just taking precautions! You know, there are so many bad guys out there, I have to protect myself..."

"Okay, stop talking nonsense to me. I really want to let you do this, but it depends on what you think."

Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand, interrupting Wei Wu's words, and then continued:

"The main thing is to see what your plans are for this eastern expedition against the Japanese pirates. Do you want to follow the navy, or do you plan to act on your own?"

"After all, you've never been in the military before. You don't know many of the rules, and you may not be able to adapt to that kind of environment."

After hearing what Zhu Yuanzhang said, Wei Wu immediately fell into deep thought.

Of the two options, acting alone or acting with the army, Wei Wu prefers the former.

Just as Zhu Yuanzhang said, he had never been in the army and probably could not adapt to that environment.

The army has always been linked to discipline, and his lazy behavior is likely to have an impact on other soldiers.

The most important thing is that his presence will make it difficult for Lan Yu, the military leader, to make decisions, and he will have to take him into consideration no matter what decision he makes.

Wei Wu guessed that Zhu Yuanzhang also had concerns in this regard, so he brought this matter to the surface.
