Daming: From the end of Hongwu

Zhu Gaoxu couldn't take back the scolding words.

Zhu Di glared at Zhu Gaoxu: "Coincidence? Do you think it would have been such a coincidence without Zhen Wu and I's planning?"

Zhu Gaochi suddenly understood: "Father, brother-in-law did this?"

Zhu Di nodded, originally intending to explain to Zhu Gaochi and Zhu Gaoxu, but after thinking about it deeply, he thought of Zhen Wu's style of plucking wild goose in the past, and immediately cursed and said: "Grandma, this dog may get a lot of benefits. If his mother doesn't get enough money, will he benefit me? No, you can't just take advantage of him like this."

After finishing speaking, Zhu Di looked at Zhu Gaochi and the others and said, "When he returns to Beijing, you two go to his house to fight the autumn wind, and say that I allow it, and you scrape a layer of oil out of him for me."...

Zhu Gaochi was overjoyed.

He is not favored by Zhu Di, dare not and unwilling to accept any benefits from his subordinates, let alone run any business, but the whole prince's mansion needs to be supported by him, he is really too poor.

Now that Zhu Di asked him to go to Zhen Wu to fight the autumn wind, he was really happy.

Immediately, Zhu Gaochi couldn't help it anymore: "Second brother, let me see again. I'll see what Zhancheng gave this time. I think my brother-in-law will not miss it when he sees good things. I will help you choose a good one for your sister-in-law." Two good things."

Ok?

Zhu Gaoxu cast a glance at Zhu Gaochi, seeing how happy this guy is.

This boss is too worthless.

……

On the second day of the court meeting, Zhu Di raised the matter of Zhancheng, which caught all the courtiers by surprise. In Zhu Di's words, Zhancheng is our Ming Dynasty's more obedient younger brother, and now it's finally come to us. , we have to help, and cleaning up the pirates is also a good thing for our southeast coast of Ming Dynasty, so why not do this kind of thing that kills two birds with one stone.

Cai Qing and the others were stunned.

They had prepared their speech for a long time, and it was completely useless at this moment.

Who would have thought that Zhancheng would suddenly appear.

However, they, a group of officials with thousands of horses and horses who passed the imperial examination, had really good reflexes. They immediately reorganized their words in their hearts, and then opposed them in the court.

When one person speaks, the others have more time to prepare.

All of a sudden, one opening after another unexpectedly formed a wave of opposition.

Zhu Di was a little surprised by this. It was beyond his expectation. He didn't expect that the resistance he encountered was many times greater than that of going to Annan. It seemed that this was what hit their sore spot.

His face gradually darkened.

Cai Qing was standing on top of the court hall at this moment, as if he hadn't realized it, he was talking eloquently and said: "Your Majesty, now that I have just pacified Annan in the Ming Dynasty, it is really inappropriate to fight again, and the problem of pirates has existed since ancient times, and it is invincible. Kill, even if the pirates are wiped out now, within two years, the pirates will inevitably flood again. Why should my Ming Dynasty waste people's money by doing so? What's more, during the Hongwu period, my emperor Taizu had a plan to ban the sea. After these years, the effect is quite good. You don’t dare to offend me, Daming, why did Your Majesty change the strategy of the sea rashly in order to occupy the city and violate the precepts of the Taizu?”

At the end, Cai Qing even questioned Zhu Xi loudly: "Could it be possible that Your Majesty is the king who has made great achievements?"

Seeing this, the others also echoed, "I beg Your Majesty to curb your belligerence, and start reforming with the people."

Zhu Di looked at the group of people kneeling down in the dark, and a killing intent flashed in his eyes.

What is Daxigong? !

What is a warlike heart? !

Zhang Wu was not happy for others to disobey Zhu Di so much, so he stood up and questioned Cai Qing: "Cai Shilang, when will it be wrong to suppress pirates, officials kill thieves, the justice of heaven and earth, why does it change in your mouth, I Zhang Wu I’m not as knowledgeable as you, and I don’t understand your fancy ideas, but I do know that there are thieves on the sea, and my Ming Dynasty should exterminate these pirates for the sake of all people in the world, and restore the sea to a clear sky.”

Cai Qing smiled calmly and said: "It is not wrong to eliminate pirates, but it depends on the situation. If my Ming Dynasty wants to eliminate pirates, it is definitely not for the sake of occupying the city. It must be for my subjects, but now my subjects have not been violated. , The policy of banning the sea is very effective, why do you have to fight, don’t the soldiers under Lord Hou be raised by their mothers and fathers? Do you only know how to send them to death? "…

Zhang Wu was so angry that he wanted to punch Cai Qing twice with red eyes, but as soon as he moved, he was pulled back by the people around him.

As a result, the ruling party became more chaotic.

Seeing this, Zhu Di yelled angrily and retreated, then flung his sleeves and left first.

……

In the next few days, every morning, there would be quarrels over whether to build a boat to wipe out the pirates, and every day after Zhu Di returned from the court, he would lose his temper.

Pirates pirates.

Is it possible that even if he beats a pirate, he will be called a fool by this group of opposing things?

There is really no place for reason in the world.

They can set the standard for right and wrong.

At this time, Zhen Wu and the others have already returned to Guangxi. After arriving here, Zhen Wu needs to distribute the rewards for the conscripted soldiers this time, and also needs to arrange for the soldiers from all over the country to return to their respective guards in an orderly manner, so they are busy for a while up.

However, when he was about to finish these things, Liu Sheng suddenly came to him.

"Duke, didn't you ask the brothers in the navy to look at the situation at sea? The brothers on Annan's side sent a message that they happened to see a fleet of ships."

"Pirates?" Zhen Wu raised his eyebrows and asked.

"No."

Liu Sheng shook his head and said: "A brother went there in a small boat and found that it was a convoy of merchant ships, and the clothes were from our Ming Dynasty."

"Ah."

Zhen Wu suddenly became interested, put down his work, and looked at Liu Sheng: "Good guy, this group of smuggling boats are really brave, they dare to do business in this weather, and they are not afraid of dying at sea."

"What's the matter?"

Liu Sheng curled his lips and said: "Why don't these people dare to do it for money? I've heard from the brothers of the Navy that these smuggling fleets not only pay interest to the pirates, they even have some ulterior motives to please the pirates. It also sends information to the pirates, so that some pirates can go ashore to plunder."

Speaking of this, Liu Sheng asked: "Duke, our Daming is currently implementing a sea ban, and the subjects are not allowed to go to the sea. Now that we have seen it, should we arrest them and I will let people follow them from a distance. As long as you nod , within a few days, we will definitely catch them all, and maybe we can find some people by following the clues."

"You think too simply." Zhen Wu said: "These people dare to smuggle, so you won't be able to find out so easily, but... It's okay to clean up these people, so you can vent your anger. These selfish dog things, one counts as one, and it’s not too much to kill them all.”

Liu Sheng was overjoyed.

But then Zhen Wu opened his mouth and continued: "But there is one concern, we have now served as the teacher of Zhao's class, if we fight again on the way, I am afraid that some people will easily catch them, I am not afraid, even if I take the big responsibility, It doesn’t have much impact on me, but you and the brothers in the Navy may be wiped out by some people who criticize you for this time, are you willing to do that?”

"No way, if we catch the smuggling fleet, can we still make mistakes?" Liu Sheng was puzzled.

Zhen Wu raised his eyes and glanced at Liu Sheng. Although he hated those smugglers in his heart, he could only explain to Liu Sheng carefully: "I ask you, you caught those people at sea, how can you prove it Are they smuggled?"  …

Liu Sheng widened his eyes and said, "This... there must be a way."

"There's a fart."

Zhen Wu rolled his eyes and said: "He turned around and told you that he was a Champa or a Srivijaya, what do you say? The Three Caves of the Rabbit, do you think these people don't know how to have an extra identity? Even the people behind them, Maybe you will bribe other small countries, let these small countries sue you to His Majesty, and then say that you sent troops to attack friendly vassal countries, do you think you have the ability to escape this crime?"

Speaking of this, Zhen Wu came to hammer the table angrily: "These smuggling caravans, who is not behind a family, whose family has few officials in Daming, do you think they are ordinary people? Ordinary people don't have this ability Engage in fleets to smuggle goods out to sea."

"Fuck, what a bunch of fucking dogs." Liu Sheng scolded, and then asked Zhen Wu unwillingly: "Then let's just forget about it?"

Zhen Wu thought for a while, and after a while, Zhen Wu said, "There is a way."

"What way?" Liu Sheng asked immediately.

Zhen Wu smiled and said: "Choose some cronies and go pretending to be pirates. When the time comes, there will be an on-site interrogation. If we can interrogate things, we will still be the Great Ming Navy. If we can't interrogate them, we don't need to arrest those people, just kill them immediately." It’s time to vent your anger, and remember to bring back all the goods, it’s free, don’t want it for nothing.”

"Can this be done?" Liu Sheng opened his mouth wide in surprise: "Duke, this is a violation of discipline."

"Don't worry, I know His Majesty's temperament. I will write a memorial and send it up later. As long as half of the goods are handed over, Your Majesty will definitely not be angry." Zhen Wu said with a smile.

Speaking of which, Zhu Di hates these smuggled things more than he does.

"That works." Liu Sheng smiled happily: "I'll go down and do it now."

Zhen Wu nodded, he looked at the back of Liu Sheng rushing down, and smiled at the corner of his mouth, but with a smile, there was a sternness in his eyes again.

For the time being, let's cut a piece of meat from that group of bastards.

Sooner or later, those guys who only care about themselves and never think about the court, the nation, or the people will understand how their heads fell off their necks.

……

Chapter 395 - I'm a very happy king

In a vast ocean.

Numerous undercurrents surged, causing the sea level to fluctuate. The boat galloped through the sea surface, squeezing the sea water out of the spray, and finally was swept into a big wave by the wind, and slapped back on the side wall of the boat.

in the cabin.

Cai Fu and the steward were drinking and chatting about the business, the steward rubbed his hands expectantly and said: "When we go back this time, we can also get a reward, and then we have to go to the Chunhua Building to have a good time. I've been coveting Miss Wan's figure for a long time, but she just looks soft and big."

"It's just that it's already dark inside." Cai Fu laughed and teased.

The steward didn't care too much, and said with a smile, "Of course we can't compare to Eighth Master. If Eighth Master goes to Chunhualou, he will pick up the oiran lady to serve him. We will be satisfied if we can sleep with Wan Wan in our arms."

"That's not bad, but it's a pity that I have my own concubine to serve me, so I don't care about going to those places." Cai Fu said proudly, but he sighed again: "Speaking of it, nothing else in the sea It's nothing, it's just that I don't have a few young ladies to accompany me, so I feel a little bit lacking, and when we arrive at Srivijaya in a few days, no matter what, let's vent our mother's anger first and then talk about other things."

"That's a good relationship. We'll follow Ba Ye to see the world." The manager said flatteringly.

Cai Fu laughed, his eyes were shining brightly, as if he had seen what a wonderful night they would have in the future, he took a sip from the jug with enthusiasm in his heart.

After drinking the strong wine, the whole body seemed to be roasted by fire in an instant, and it became even hotter.

Cai Fu just wanted to brag with the steward for a while.

But at this moment, a crew member ran over in a panic.

"Ba Ye, it's not good, the big thing is not good."

The crew rushed in regardless of the rules, panting heavily, and waited a little longer before saying anxiously: "Bao Ye, there are pirates on the sea. Not only are there ships behind them, but there are also pirate intercepting ships ahead."

Cai Fuzeng stood up immediately.

But then he realized that he had lost his composure. He took two deep breaths to calm himself down, and then Cai Fu said, "What are you panicking? Isn't that a common thing to encounter pirates at sea? Go and tell the following People, let everyone not mess up, do what you have to do, just say what I say, there will be no danger."

After finishing speaking, he turned his head to look at the steward and said, "Before I came out, my family said that the pirates on this road have been bribed. You go and find the passing flag and hang it on the sail. Presumably the pirates will let us go after seeing it." Tongxing, at most we will encounter some greedy people, and we will give them some money at the worst."

The steward and the officials responded at the same time, and then seized the time to get busy.

Cai Fu strode out of the cabin and walked towards the deck.

The crew of his family's boat has been through many storms. Although they are still a little flustered now, under the comfort of all the stewards, they have gradually become stable.

Cai Fu came to the deck and looked in the direction of the pirates.

The pirates dispatched a lot of ships this time, Cai Fu frowned slightly, and at the same time found another problem, this time the pirate ships seemed to be very good.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

The steward also hung up the traffic flag at this time, and came to Cai Fu's side. He watched the pirates behind him moving faster and faster, and the distance between the two sides was getting closer. He said worriedly: "Baye, this..."

"don’t worry."

Cai Fu said calmly: "Go and call the flag bearer over, then slow down the boat, and ask the other party what they are doing."

"Ba Ye, isn't this too risky?"

Cai Fu shook his head and said, "Didn't you see it, you can't hide from it."

The steward sighed heavily.

……

At this moment, Liu Sheng in the pirate ship, seeing the other party slowing down from a distance, was immediately stunned, and the next moment he couldn't help but laughed.

Good guy, there are still people who think that death is slow.

No one will believe this.

Then why is he being polite?

Immediately, Liu Sheng ordered in a cold voice: "Send the order and move forward at full speed."

soon.

The two sides are getting closer.

At this time, the standard bearer approached Liu Sheng and reported: "Head... the other party asked who we are and what is the purpose of following them. How should we reply?"

"Reply?"

Liu Sheng glanced at the flag-bearer: "Come on, the big ship draws closer and shoots arrows densely, covering the small boat to board the ship. When did you become so f*cking, fuck his grandma, if I can If you come out with cannons, you'll give him a shit, and you'll talk nonsense with him?"

The flag bearer was scolded bloody, but he didn't care, he grinned and said: "Understood, just watch it, it will be done in less than two hours."

Liu Sheng waved his hand.

Then, his fleet began to move.

This time he needed to pretend to be a pirate, so the boats he brought out were relatively ordinary, but it generally depends on who he compares with, especially the helm is all formally trained Daming Navy, and the fleet can be seen as soon as it moves. An elite temperament.

They were well-trained and rushed towards Cai Fu's fleet. The waves had a cold breath, as if they were telling Cai Fu that they were beasts eating people.

Cai Fu was dumbfounded at this moment.

Is this awkward?
