Daming: From the end of Hongwu

Zhen Wuqi raised his eyebrows and looked at Cheng Liang with tiger eyes, which made Cheng Liang completely shut up.

However, the old king was moved at the moment.

Speaking of pirates, they were really suffering. If Daming was willing to send troops to wipe out the pirates, that would be a great thing.

Afterwards, the old king began to bring the topic to the pirates indiscriminately.

Instead, Zhen Wu didn't answer the question.

The old king sighed repeatedly when he talked about it, especially when he talked about Chen Zuyi, a sea tycoon, he sighed and felt helpless.

Speaking of Chen Zuyi, Zhen Wu naturally knows him well. It is rumored that he is from Guangdong. When Hong Wu fled to the sea and became a pirate, then in just a few years, his power grew rapidly, and now he is the leader of the sea. Pirate leader.

Its forces are entrenched in Malacca, across the South Seas and the Indian Ocean, from Daming and Fujian in the north to the old port of the Srivijaya Kingdom (Palembang, Indonesia) in the south.

As for small countries like Champa, Chen Zuyi even dared to land, plunder and kill.

The old king was not reconciled to Zhen Wu's reticence, so he couldn't help asking Daming's opinion of Chen Zuyi.

Zhen Wu smiled and said: "If Da Ming sent troops, Chen Zuyi would be vulnerable, but Chen Zuyi didn't dare to rape me, Da Ming, so there is no need for me, Da Ming, to send troops to exterminate him."

Cheng Liang behind Zhen Wu couldn't help but want to laugh again, he really learned something from Zhen Wu, because he knew that Zheng He was going to go to the West, and Chen Zuyi was also on the list that must be wiped out.

This time Zhen Wu was like a fisherman, setting his hooks little by little, waiting for the old king to come to give gifts on his own initiative.

Afterwards, Zhen Wu refused to say anything more, and started playing Tai Chi with the old king.

After all, the old king was also a king. Seeing that Zhen Wu didn't want to get in, he gave up for the time being. He just took a few glances at Cheng Liang and secretly made up his mind.

Wait until evening.

As soon as Cheng Liang got off the watch, he was taken away by some people from Zhancheng to have a drink. At the wine table, they asked Cheng Liang Daming if he would consider beating Chen Zuyi.

Cheng Liang seemed to have drunk too much, and said with a big tongue: "It's nothing, of course I won't fight Chen Zuyi for no reason, but if our Duke goes to report to His Majesty, then His Majesty Ming will definitely send troops, you know Annan is our country's Princess Zhang's troops."

As he said that, Cheng Hao seemed to be talking more excitedly. He pulled those people and started to blow up Zhen Wu.

But everyone in Champa believed it.

The next day, the old king began to think of ways to benefit Zhen Wu, making up his mind to gain Zhen Wu's favor.

In the days that followed, no rhinoceros ivory, any one-foot-eight-foot Avalokitesvara bamboo, any Jialan incense, could not be accepted by Zhen Wu. Everyone squinted and smiled every day.

Until the discussion on the border issue was over and Zhen Wu was about to leave.

The old king couldn't help talking about the pirates again. He pulled Zhen Wu and said, "My brother, I really miss you."

"I can't bear to part with my old brother, too. My old brother treats me so well." Zhen Wu said emotionally.

Seeing this, the old king hit the rails while it was hot: "The old brother has an unfeeling request, and I am willing to help the old brother."

"Based on our friendship these days, brother, you can speak directly."

"Brother, can you tell His Majesty Daming about the problem of pirates?" The old king sighed and said with a sad face: "You don't know, we are suffering in Zhancheng, so it's fine for Chen Zuyi to enjoy himself at sea, but he still does it from time to time. Landing and plundering my subjects, I only hate that I can't capture the city and can't destroy him, but as their king, every time I think about it, I feel so sad."

"This..." Zhen Wu pondered for a while, and then slowly said a sentence that everyone understood.

"It's a little difficult."

Hearing this, Cheng Liang almost stared.

Want more? !

They have collected a lot of things these days.

Are you going to die?

Zhen Wu glanced at Cheng Liang secretly, this kid is inexperienced after all, although Chen Zuyi cannot be avoided in Zhu Di's Nanyang trade, but once the Ming Dynasty destroys Chen Zuyi, the nearby kingdoms will all benefit.

He couldn't do anything far away, and Zhancheng was so close, why didn't he make the most of the benefits.

The old king was much more sensible. Seeing what Zhen Wu said, not only did he not feel sorry for anything, but also showed joy on his face, and quickly said: "My brother will help you with your troubles. Don't worry, I will never let my brother waste your troubles in vain. I have prepared something for you here." Some small things for my brother to play with."

hiss.

so happy? !

fuck.

Zhen Wu was a little upset.

His mother is still less.

However, Zhen Wu turned his eyes, and then a smile appeared on his face: "Since this is the case, then I will agree, but it is too abrupt for me to mention this matter rashly to my Majesty Daming, why not go to Zhancheng this year I pay tribute to the Ming Dynasty, so I might as well add another gift list, and then you ask His Majesty the Ming about this matter first, and when the time comes to discuss it in the court, I will definitely open my mouth to facilitate this matter, so that my Ming Dynasty can raise troops to go out to sea on a huge boat, and wipe out Chen Zuyi."

Zhen Wu looked at the old king expectantly.

The old king was a little confused.

Want to make another payment?

He calculated in his heart, this time made him feel a little pained, but after the calculation, he still gritted his teeth and nodded in agreement with Zhen Wu's proposal.

Long-term pain is worse than short-term pain.

For once and for all, it is always worth it.

When Zhen Wu saw this, he also laughed in his heart.

This mission was successfully completed.

A lot of benefits have been gained.

The reason for Zheng He's voyage to the West was also found for Zhu Di.

……

Zhen Wu rested briefly in Zhancheng for another day, and then returned to Tsinghua City with Cheng Liang and others.

When I came, I packed lightly.

When I went back, there were a few more cars of precious treasures.

Cheng Lianghouzi and the others were so happy that they wished they could sleep in the carriage every day.

But Zhen Wu suddenly felt a little sad, now it is almost December, and they want a class teacher at least next year, this Spring Festival he will inevitably have to celebrate the New Year in other places.

Seeing Zhen Wu, Cheng Liang felt a little sad, and asked, "Grand Duke, why are you unhappy when we got so many things this time?"

Zhen Wu smiled, with a hint of bitterness, but it was not conspicuous: "The child in Jin'er's stomach should have been born for two or three months, but I still don't know what happened."

Cheng Liang was taken aback.

Zhen Wu then smiled casually: "Fortunately, I got a lot of treasures this time, so I can choose some carefully and give my children two good ones."

Cheng Liang laughed again.

……

Chapter 393 - People's hearts are the most difficult measure

The New Year in Thanh Hoa is very boring.

The main thing is that a group of big bosses get together, no matter how wild the game is, they can't play well.

It's somewhat lacking in sentimentality.

Of course, if Zhen Wu really wants to be interesting, it can be interesting. Girls of the right age in Qinghua City all regard Zhen Wu as Tang monk meat, as if eating one bite can make the whole family fly, and they try to make Zhen Wu commit crimes. mistake.

In the middle of the night, Zhen Wu really felt itchy in his heart.

It's just that after thinking about it, I still put out that thought.

There are too many temptations in this world, and some vulgar desires, the more they are released, the more they will seduce the devil in their hearts after they are satisfied.

In life, one needs to cultivate oneself after all.

Zhen Wu finally lived another life, so how could he be willing to live as a bad person.

However, the capital of the Ming Dynasty was very lively this year, and the military newspaper that Annan asked to be attached to brought the excitement to its peak.

Zhu Di and the others quarreled in the court for a month, and finally, under Zhu Di's insistence, they agreed to Annan's surrender and announced it to the world immediately.

This news then quickly spread to all corners of Daming with the capital as the center, and then spread to some other surrounding countries.

And Zhen Wu's name, along with the credit for expanding the territory, became famous again, which shocked many people.

Mobei.

When Guilichi was being humiliated by various tribes in the grassland because of orthodoxy, when he suddenly heard the news from Daming, he was even more shocked and angrily threw countless things.

Daming why? !

Guilichi roared angrily.

How can those low-level southerners with low intelligence and weak limbs stand up.

How does this make him happy.

Gui Lichi's violent eyes flickered, and he felt that if it wasn't for the short-sighted guys from the various tribes, he would definitely be able to lead the heroes of the tribes to regain the glory of the past.

Otherwise, they, the people on horseback, would retreat and struggle on the grassland in disgrace.

……

And Arutai, who was leading troops to quell the chaos, also heard the news from Daming at this time. He sat in the big tent for a long time in silence, but there was a huge wave in his heart.

It's him again, it's him again!

How could it be him again!

That little hundred household back then in Baicheng had started to stir up troubles in the world now, and he was still nesting on the grassland racking his brains to unify the ministries.

He, Alutai, was born no worse than anyone else, why is he always inferior to that little Baihu.

Alutai hammered heavily on the table with his fists clenched. Who would have thought that a small hundred households under the command of King Yan had now grown to hold nearly half of the soldiers and horses of the Ming Dynasty, and even went south to wash the blood of the small country in Nanyang, and opened the door. The power of expanding the territory.

That is the expansion of the territory, which is worthy of praise in any era, but if a prosperous dynasty has no achievements in the expansion of the territory, what face will it have to stand proudly in the long river of history.

They seem to be creating legends.

How ridiculous this sounds.

Thinking of this, Alutai suddenly made a decision in his heart. He sneered, called his cronies, and ordered him to secretly contact the leader of the enemy tribe.

The relative was startled, and couldn't help asking in surprise: "Chief, are you planning to betray Guili Chi Dahan?"

Alutai stood up from his seat, looking at the flickering charcoal fire in the tent, his eyes seemed to recall the time when their tribe was weak at the beginning, it was he who followed Guilichi at the beginning, and gradually developed into the current scale.

He closed his eyes, took a deep breath and said, "Not bad."

Then, with deep eyes, as if explaining for himself, he muttered softly: "Guilichi's reputation is too bad, it doesn't matter if he wants to sweat profusely, but he should never kill the inheritor of the Golden Family. All the tribes can't tolerate him, what else can I do?"

The confidant stood there in amazement.

Arutai walked over and patted his confidant on the shoulder and said: "Don't worry, I, Arutai, will never lead the tribe into the abyss. Da Ming is becoming more and more invincible. We have no time. We must unify the tribes as soon as possible."

"What is the leader going to do?"

The corner of Alutai's mouth curled up, and the universe in his heart emerged, and he said coldly: "On the one hand, I went to contact the tribes, supported Benya and lost face, and turned around to destroy Guilichi. Its power nourishes itself, and this grassland must not continue to be chaotic!"

Benya Shili is the son of Kun Timur killed by Guilichi, and also the grandson of Elebek. In the name of orthodoxy, he has already made Alutai feel that he cannot be eliminated. However, if he turns against him, then the ghost Li Chi will definitely not be able to last for a few years.

The confidant nodded heavily, he trusted Alutai.

……

But at this time, Xue Lu's family in Beiping, Cao Xiaoman in Jinan, Meng Shan in Liaodong, Zheng Heng in Datong, Lao San in Fujian, etc., countless people who are close to Zhen Wu, after getting the support of Zhen Wu to take down Annam After the news, he was overjoyed to congratulate Zhen Wu at home.

They personally told the legend of Zhen Wu to the younger generation.

Especially Cao Xiaoman, he was the captain of Zhen Wu's former personal guard, and he knew Zhen Wu's deeds very well, and he told his son Cao De and righteous daughter Tang Sai'er eloquently.

His daughter-in-law Cao Lishi and the concubine of Hou Na looked at Cao Xiaoman's eyes shining with tenderness and a smile on his mouth. They were Cao Xiaoman's pillow people, and they knew that Cao Xiaoman often missed him in the dead of night. The days of previous battles.

Now that Zhao Guogong has made great contributions to the sky, their men probably only wish they were not by Zhen Wu's side to witness all this.

The little guy Cao De suddenly couldn't help shouting: "I know you, I like you the most."

Seeing that the concubine's room was somewhat puzzled by Cao De's performance, Mrs. Cao Li explained with a smile: "This little monkey is the most powerful, you don't know, every time the Duke sees him, he will tease him, and he will even give him some worthless money." Fei's gadget, how can he not have a deep memory of the Duke."

Cao Xiaoman laughed happily because of his son's words in an instant, and then hugged his son: "As expected of my good son, the Duke of the State cannot come back this year. When the public is giving off the New Year gift, I will take you to the capital, and I will also take you to gain insight and see the Duke's mansion."

"really?"

Cao Xiaoman nodded.
