The eldest grandson of Emperor Ming Dynasty!

Chapter 359 Preparations for conquest of the Wa Kingdom

Earlier, Lu's performance in the palace was quite satisfactory, and he didn't deliberately intrigue or anything like that.

Because it is not necessary.

She is the crown princess, and Zhu Yunwen is the grandson, so the throne is either her husband or her son.

The position can be said to be stable.

After Zhu Ying appeared, everything changed. The Lu family, who was living a good life every day, felt the crisis, so he could only try his best to help Yun Wen.

Now, she finally discovered that her son was not as good as she imagined.

It is undeniable that in terms of talent, Zhu Yunqi is still very good, but this character, the city is too shallow, has no independent opinions, and is easy to listen to others.

For his own sake, Mrs. Lu could only go into battle in person.

"There's not much hope for Yun Yu here, if he can win a good place, it's already very good."

"For civil servants and military generals, probably they can only rely on themselves to win them over."

Thinking in his heart, Mrs. Lu called the maid and asked her to send a letter to her father.

Father is not good at being an official, but he is still a good hand in business, and now he and Yun Yun are facing a situation where no one can use them.

Presumably, my father is also willing to follow me to the new feudal kingdom.

Thinking of this, Mrs. Lu felt a little regretful, because she never thought about this matter, and had a falling out with her father before, so the relationship with her natal family is generally not very good now.

In the minds of most people, leaving Daming to go to an overseas feudal country is basically no different from exile, and they will generally resist in their hearts.

After thinking about it, Mrs. Lu finally set her sights on Concubine Ning.

The relationship between her and Concubine Ning is extremely good. After all, the harem is only so big, and it is Concubine Ning and her who can have some power.

Concubine Ning's natal family, under Guo Ying's command, has many generals, if Concubine Ning is willing to talk about it and recruit some generals, there is still great hope.

Three days passed in a flash.

In Kunning Palace, Zhu Ying was looking at the map in front of him.

This map is very different from Ming's map, and is more similar to the maps of later generations.

Of course, if it can be drawn, it cannot be Zhu Ying. If Zhu Ying comes to draw, I am afraid that he will not know who he is.

He summoned the top court painters, and based on the current map of Ming Dynasty, plus Zhu Ying's own memories of his previous life, after scrapping dozens of drafts, it finally took shape.

At present, Zhu Ying is studying how to mobilize the army in Liaodong, Nuergan, and the country of Wa.

Of course Zhu Ying was not alone, beside him, Ye Yueqing was also with him.

It's cold now, although the Qunying Chamber of Commerce is lively, there are actually not many things to be responsible for.

There are basically few memorials, so it is relatively more leisurely.

In front of the palace, the old man is convening various ministers and scholars to discuss how to arrange the grain for the coming year.

Including some new layouts, taxes, and so on.

As soon as the war started, there must be no problems with the logistics support. How to make the current state treasury supply the former army and the connection between the summer grain, these things seem trivial, but they are extremely important.

"Your Highness, there is a letter from Master Daoyan, saying that the food problem has been solved. Next year, we will conquer the Wa Kingdom. We will be the vanguard to help Daming and involve the Wa Kingdom's troops."

Ye Yueqing said.

Zhu Ying heard this, and asked a little curiously: "How did Daoyan solve the food problem."

When Ye Yueqing heard this, he laughed and said, "Master Daoyan didn't stick to his face, he sent a letter directly to Li Chenggui. If he doesn't give him enough food, he can only bring a large army and return to the king's capital for Zhengdan."

"When Li Chenggui heard this, he was so frightened that he arranged food preparations overnight. The first batch of food and payment had already started to leave on the third day after receiving the letter."

Zhu Ying also laughed when he heard the words, and said: "Daoyan doesn't care about the people's livelihood, he only talks about victory or defeat, this Li Chenggui is considered interesting, otherwise Daoyan would never hesitate to forcibly mobilize troops back to the capital of Koryo. "

"Li Chenggui knows in his heart that once Dao Yan returns, a big battle is inevitable. Regardless of winning or losing, with Dao Yan's temperament, he will definitely plunder all the way."

"At that time, even if Li Chenggui wins, the whole of Korea will be riddled with holes. Li Chenggui cannot afford the price."

Hitting a snake and hitting seven inches, Dao Yan took advantage of Li Chenggui's weakness.

The current Li Chenggui just wants to reap the benefits of being a fisherman, so he must not go against Dao Yan.

Zhu Ying felt relieved when the matter on Gao Li's side was resolved, even though he knew that Dao Yan would definitely have a solution.

"Your Highness, there is information from the Wa country. It seems that we have already got the news about our conquest next year. Even at this time, the conscription has already started."

"However, life on the Japanese side is not easy now. There has been a war for years, and there is a shortage of soldiers, and the current winter is much colder than ours."

Ye Yueqing briefly described the situation in Wa country.

From Daming's point of view, the current Wa country should be in a state of panic.

After all, they had a small population, and because of the heavy consumption of the civil war, they had just recovered for less than a year.

But in fact, aside from the people of the Wa Kingdom, the upper-class nobles were extremely excited.

They believed that with the blessing of God, the seemingly mighty Ming army would definitely be destroyed by the typhoon. On the Koryo side, Wa had never lost, so there was nothing to worry about.

On the contrary, many wandering warriors feel that this is an opportunity. In this war, not only can they plunder enough credit, but they can also invade Daming and seize wealth later.

Moreover, Zhu Ying never underestimated the strength of Japanese warriors.

Blindness is not advisable. The so-called poor mountains and evil waters create troublesome people, because the islands where the Wa country is located are mostly volcanic eruption zones. All the Japanese people have a sense of crisis in their hearts, as if the entire Wa country will completely sink tomorrow.

In addition to various legends and stories about gods, gods and ghosts, basically every village has a god to worship.

This led to the specialization of Japanese warriors, similar to the concept of European knights.

In addition, because the Wa country is isolated overseas, there are few dependencies in history.

Although it was influenced by the culture of the Central Plains Dynasty, this influence was not imposed by the Central Plains Dynasty, but was obtained by the Wa Kingdom itself.

Although they have always tried to regard the Central Plains Dynasty as the suzerain state, due to geographical location, this situation is rarely realized. It is just a name, and there are actually very few contacts.

It seems that in history, the Wa Kingdom has never been invaded. That is because in the eyes of the Central Plains Dynasty, the Wa Kingdom is completely a barbarian land.

Moreover, the location of Wa country is too superior.

In ancient times, the navigation technology was not developed enough, and when going to the sea, it was basically sailing in a vague direction.

For example, in the heyday of Tang Dynasty, the most famous Jianzhen traveled to the east.

After Jianzhen was invited by Puzhao and Rongrui, the envoys of the Tang Dynasty sent by the Wa Kingdom, he kept trying and wanted to go to the Wa Kingdom.

His first five expeditions to the east all ended in failure.

At first, he tried to set off from Yangzhou, but after the failure, he moved to Fuzhou, but the sea wind blew their ship to Hainan, farther and farther away from the Wa Kingdom.

Later, Rong Rui, the envoy to the Tang Dynasty who invited him, passed away, and Jianzhen was almost blind, but he still insisted on trying.Finally, his sixth eastward journey finally succeeded in reaching the country of Wa.

It can be seen from this that it is very difficult to go to the country of Wa from Daming.

During the Mongolian and Yuan dynasties, the Japanese were conquered. If it weren't for the iron chain and the boat, I don't know where it went.

In fact, even if the Japanese themselves wanted to return to the Japanese country with supplies after looting from Daming, in many cases, it still needed luck.

For the real Japanese pirates, what they do is a near-death deal.

So in many cases, they are more ruthless.

It is this kind of ruthless personality that makes most of the Japanese warriors extremely resolute, and their personal force has also grown greatly.

"There is a lesson from the Yuan Dynasty. Although it seems that the court is harmonious now, no minister dares to say anything in front of the old man."

"But if the first round fails, then the voice of opposition will resound throughout the entire Fengtian Temple, with all kinds of advice.",

"In this step of fighting the Japanese country, we must be steady, we must not slack in the slightest, and we must not be greedy for merit. We must first lay down the foundation and drag the entire Japanese country into the quagmire of war."

"Let them confront each other and have no time to take care of themselves. This is a long-term war. The most important thing is to open up a stable voyage on the sea, including the study of strong winds, which is the top priority."

"If you are on the sea, there are special talents in Dafeng, you must treat them generously and reward them generously."

Zhu Ying frowned and said slowly.

In terms of overall military strength, Daming naturally crushed the Wa Kingdom.

But most people in this world are resistant to conquering the Japanese kingdom.

In everyone's thinking, what's the point of spending a lot of manpower and material resources to defeat such barbaric lands?
At that time, maybe Daming will still be here, often transporting food and other items, isn't this a burden for myself.

So, you can only win, not lose.

Now relying on the prestige of the old man, including the matter of Yinshan, Zhu Ying forcibly started the conquest of the Japanese country.

It seems to be calm, but the backlash is also very uncomfortable.

Ye Yueqing frowned and said: "Your Highness, our secret work in the Wa Kingdom has been hit hard because of this time. Even many of those who have already been bribed have begun to regret it."

Zhu Ying nodded, he was not surprised by this.

Because there has never been a clan relationship, the unity of the Japanese is actually stronger than that of the Ming Dynasty.

Although the Wa country also had frequent civil wars, the main middle class, that is, the Wa country samurai, paid the most attention to faith, or in other words, loyalty to the emperor.

Suicide by caesarean section is a kind of samurai glory in Japan.

Under the current strong external pressure, they naturally began to hold together.

The Japanese pirates on Daming's side, even Koryo's side, also had spies hiding in them, and it was easy to know about such big moves as the mobilization of the army and the hoarding of troops along the coast.

It will be much easier to lay down a place in Wa country first, and then collect intelligence.

In the palace of King Yan.

Zhu Di's complexion was not good. In the early morning yesterday, the emperor once again confirmed the list of generals to conquer the Japanese kingdom, and he was impressively on the list.

Doesn't this mean that Liaodong Nuergan has nothing to do with him?
Who wants to go to places like the Wa country? There was no way to speak of it before. It is not bad to be able to stand on your own as a king without being restrained.

But now, Zhu Di really wanted to take a bite of the fat in Beiping.

The point is, he really is the most qualified.

Zhu Di was very clear about the fact that the father used the vassals to distribute the military power of the Huaixi nobles, including some generals under his command, also belonged to the Huaixi nobles.

"Father does this, don't you worry about the Huaixi veterans becoming bigger? Where the sky is high and the emperor is far away, how can father be at ease?"

Zhu Di said harshly.

After finishing speaking, he picked up the high-grade liquor on the table and drank it down.

These baijiu were distributed by Zhu Ying to all members of the royal family, and Zhu Di also got two large barrels here.

At first he didn't care much, and didn't even want to drink.

Until yesterday, this son Zhu Gaoxu opened the wine barrel and was fascinated by the aroma of the wine. After a few drinks, he passed out immediately.

This made Zhu Di pay attention.

After tasting the tea, Zhu Di's final choice is naturally Zhenxiang.

After drinking a glass of strong wine and feeling the warmth in his stomach, Zhu Di's complexion eased slightly.

The wine glass was a very small one, and Xu Yihua, who was next to him, poured it for it, and said: "Your Highness, there is no need to be so worried. According to my concubine, this matter is not without room for reversal."

Zhu Di's eyes lit up when he heard the words, and he said, "Could it be that there is new news from the palace?"

Xu Yihua shook his head, Zhu Di was a little disappointed.

Then he said: "Actually, the conquest of the Japanese kingdom is not too related to guarding the Liaodong slaves. Your Majesty has wanted to fight the Japanese kingdom for a long time, but this time he finally succeeded. There is no ancestor wave, and he is also worried about the lessons from the past. "

"So if the concubine's guess is correct, the conquest of the Wa country this time must be all elite soldiers and strong generals."

Hearing this, Zhu Di nodded.

There are six armies in this conquest of the Wa Kingdom.

Let's not talk about the navy all the way.

Apart from him, Zhu Bian, and Zhu Yu, the other two are Feng Sheng and Fu Youde.

Letting these two pass by shows how much the father attaches great importance to conquering the Japanese kingdom. This is a famous veteran. In front of Feng Sheng and Fu Youde, Zhu Di can only be a junior.

"According to the meaning of Aifei, it means that after conquering the Wa Kingdom, I may not be directly canonized in the Wa Kingdom. Is it possible to come back?"

Zhu Di asked after pondering for a while.

Xu Yihua nodded, and replied: "Slaves in Liaodong are engaged in land reclamation, which is different from fighting wars. It is a long-term management."

"This involves common people and millions of soldiers, but the tribes in the grassland are not so easy to talk about. Even if they can't fight, they will often invade. Presumably, the pressure on Beiping will weaken."

"As long as His Royal Highness wins in the Japanese country and brings credit, or in other words, the momentum in the Japanese country is so great that the third brother can't match it, then all of this will be reconsidered."

"At that time, His Highness will naturally have the opportunity to come back and save the situation in Liaodong."

Hearing this, Zhu Di nodded deeply.

On the list for this expedition, there are almost no nobles from Huaixi, including the younger Sapphire, who is also not on it.

It fully explained the father's fear of Huaixi nobles.

Although Feng Sheng and Fu Youde are also top-notch in Huaixi, they don't have much contact with the Huaixi Xungui Group on Lanyu's side.
