The eldest grandson of Emperor Ming Dynasty!

Chapter 405 Zhu Di's Means

There is no place to find if you break through the iron shoes, and it is not a waste of effort to get it.

How could Zhu Di have thought that he could catch a big leak with just a drink?

As the army was approaching in the past few days, Zhu Di, as the King of Yan, naturally had his generals to practice and restrain the soldiers. The rest of the time, he basically spent drinking with Li Jinglong.

The reason for this is very simple, because without Dao Yan's relationship, many things are difficult to arrange.

Speaking of which, Zhu Di had also read Yue Fei's biography, and he knew very well what an embarrassing place it was to have no one to help speak at the court.

Especially in the country of Wa, it is even more difficult to say.

Li Jinglong is Zhu Di's best candidate, not one of them.

Li Jinglong is Cao Guogong, and he is his father's nephew and grandson. He is a serious relative of the emperor. Because of his graceful and luxurious appearance, he is very pleased with his father.

With Li Jinglong at the capital's side to take care of him, Zhu Di can go to the front line of Japan with peace of mind.

Just now, when he was drinking and chatting with Li Jinglong, he suddenly heard a commotion.

Listening carefully, it turned out that it was Jin Yiwei who arrested the Japanese spy.

Japanese secret work?

Zhu Di's eyes lit up immediately, and he went upstairs, just in time to see that Jin Yiwei was about to take the two of them away.

How could Jin Yiwei take this away?

"This king will soon go to war against the Wa country, and these two Japanese secret agents are just used to review information."

"Stay here, let's go."

Zhu Di spoke directly.

The mood of the Jin Yiwei could be described as flying from the ground to the sky, and now falling from the sky to the ground again.

They looked at each other a few times, but didn't know how to answer.

Standing in front of them was King Yan of the Ming Dynasty, with Duke Cao next to him.

In this society with the largest royal family, King Yan wanted to snatch people from Jin Yiwei, they really didn't know what to do.

And among the Jinyiwei guards here, the highest status is the Jinyiwei Xiaoqi officer Lu Liu, what to use to bargain with King Yan.

However, this overwhelming contribution is the hope of promotion for the brothers.

"Your Highness King Yan, we have been following these two spies from the Japanese kingdom for a long time, so it might be a bit out of order."

Gritting his teeth, Lu Liu said boldly.

Zhu Di looked at Lu Liu with disdain, and said with a sneer, "When will Jin Yiwei's rules be governed by my king?"

"Heh, where are the guards!"

Following Zhu Di's order, there was a burst of intensive footsteps on the other side of the stairs.

The twelve guards immediately surrounded everyone.

Under Zhu Di's signal, the guards forcibly stepped forward and arrested the two Japanese spies.

The Jin Yiwei, who was arresting him, wanted to resist, but he still didn't make any other moves, and let Yan Wang's personal guards arrest him.

No matter what the status of King Yan is, they can't afford it. No matter how reluctant they are, they dare not confront him head-on.

If he really offended him, let alone being promoted, he would be dismissed from the army and demoted to a commoner, that would be the best result.

Burning with anxiety, Lu Liu cast his eyes on Zhang San.

No one knows the ability of the Qunying Chamber of Commerce. At this point in time, only the Qunying Chamber of Commerce can compete against King Yan.

Seeing the pleading eyes of his former colleague Lu Liu, Zhang San's heart moved slightly.

There is no doubt that Zhang San is an emotional person, especially after spending a lot of time in Jinyiwei.

After hesitating, he was about to speak, but Zhang Bo stopped him by tugging on his sleeve.

Zhang Bo shook his head slightly.

Zhang San immediately understood the meaning.

When King Yan is involved, it is better not to intervene in some matters.

In this way, Zhang San could only turn his head slightly to avoid Lu Liu's gaze.

Seeing this, Zhu Di also breathed a sigh of relief.

It's not that I'm afraid of the Qunying Chamber of Commerce, but mainly because at this point in time, if something goes wrong and the grandson's side is misunderstood, it's really not worth the loss.

something happened,

Before leaving, Zhu Di nodded to Uncle Zhang, and Uncle Zhang bowed and sent him off respectfully.

In the palace of King Yan.

"It's really God's help. At this time, I have captured two Japanese masters, so why worry about the failure of the Japanese map."

"This king feels that the role of these two Japanese secret agents is not only on the map, but in some aspects, there will be unexpected gains."

Zhu Di made no effort to hide the joy on his face.

This kind of luck is really rare.

With two Japanese people leading the way, it is inevitable that they can clearly know the general situation of the Japanese army during the conquest of Kyushu Island.

Li Jinglong also analyzed at the moment: "The status of the Japanese who can be admitted as a scholar will definitely not be low in the Japanese country."

"As far as I know, there are many aristocratic families and clans in the country of Wa, with distinct classes. The Wa people who can be sent to Daming to lurk are at least at the level of warriors in the country of Wa."

"Their family's status in the Wa Kingdom will naturally be extremely high."

"if"

When Li Jinglong said this, there is no need to say more, Zhu Di naturally knew it.

For the Wa country, although it is a bit unfamiliar to hurry up, there are many ancient records in various aspects.

I also have a general understanding of the shogunate, emperor, samurai, temples, etc.

"That depends on whether they are interested or not."

Zhu Di took a sip of tea and said calmly.

At this time, the two were waiting directly in the lobby.

The two Japanese have been arrested and taken to the backyard of the palace, where they will be interrogated by the guards, and they only need to wait for the result.

However, an hour passed, and it was almost dark.

The backyard guards came late in a hurry.

"Please forgive me, Your Highness. I will wait for the punishment to come in and out, but those two Japanese are very strict and refuse to reveal anything."

Looking at the guard who was kneeling on one knee, Zhu Di did not choose to punish and scold, but got up and looked at Li Jinglong: "Go together?"

"Go together."

Inside the black house in the backyard.

The two Japanese were tied together, covered in welts and poured with salt water, and some traces of other tortures could be vaguely seen.

However, the two clenched their teeth and refused to speak.

Several personal guards were so angry that their teeth itched, but they didn't dare to really kill them.

King Yan had explained earlier that the two of them had to be kept alive, otherwise, according to the conventional procedure, they would at most leave half their lives.

The door was opened, and Zhu Di and Li Jinglong walked in.

The guard clasped his fists and saluted.

"Let's all go out, I will personally interrogate you."

"As ordered."

With the departure of the guards, the room became deserted, and only two people's gasps could be heard.

"My king's name, I think you can get the title of scholar, you should already know it, now can you tell me your name and name?"

Zhu Di moved a stool, sat down so big, and then looked at the two with interest and asked.

Inoue's eyes flickered a little, and he looked at Zhu Di with a little strangeness in his eyes, then took a deep breath, calmed his mind, and spoke with a little respect in his tone:

"Reporting to Your Highness King Yan, my name is Asuka Inoue, I have met His Highness."

Hearing Asuka Inoue's voice, Kameda also announced his name with a little respect: Kameda Reizo.

A trace of doubt flashed in Zhu Di's eyes.

This respect was clearly felt by him.

How could such a situation happen if he clearly ordered people to torture him so severely to extract a confession.

This is because Zhu Di did not understand the habits of the Japanese.

The Japanese worship the strong and discriminate against the weak.

As long as they are strong, regardless of whether they are enemies or friends, they are all worshiped and respected.

Moreover, King Yan, as the vassal king of the Ming Dynasty, theoretically speaking, is at the same level as their emperor in terms of status.

Often when faced with this situation, the Japanese will become very polite.

While Zhu Di was on the coast, he used to massacre with a massacre, regardless of the enemy or himself, and slaughtered wantonly.

This caused a heavy loss to the Japanese elites, and at the same time won the admiration of the remaining elites.

It sounds a bit strange, but Japanese people are like this.

Although Zhu Di didn't know why, it didn't hinder his next plan.

"This king will lead hundreds of thousands of troops in a few days to fight against the disobedient subjects of the Japanese kingdom. Both of you must know about this."

"The current situation of Daming, you have been lurking for many years, so you can see it clearly. This king would like to ask a question, how much do you think the country of Wa has the chance of winning?"

Zhu Di's voice echoed in the room, and the two did not respond for a long time.

After a long time, Inoue Asuka replied, "[-]-[-]."

"Ha!!!" Zhu Di laughed out loud.

"Just relying on you and other warriors from the Japanese kingdom, how can you fight me five or five times?"

Hearing this laughter, Asuka Inoue lowered his head in shame.

As for the strength of the generals of the Ming Dynasty, it was already clear at a glance in the grand grandson canonization ceremony.

He didn't think the warriors of the Wa Kingdom could resist them when the soldiers landed in the Wa Kingdom.

However, he still insisted: "Wo Kingdom has its own divine wind to protect, and the Ming warship will definitely be destroyed under the divine wind, just like it once was in Mengyuan."

"The final winner must be the Wa country."

"No matter how many times, it's the same!"

Listening to Asuka Inoue's words, Zhu Di rarely argued or refuted.

Instead, he asked like this: "What if the king's army has not been eroded by the kamikaze and landed in the Wa country?"

Inoue Asuka was speechless for a moment.

Zhu Di didn't pursue it here, and said with a smile: "Inoue and Kameda, they should be regarded as big families in the Wa Kingdom, otherwise they would not be able to send you and other two talented agents over here."

Hearing the family name, the two had pride on their faces, but also loneliness.

But he didn't answer Zhu Di's question, obviously he didn't intend to speak.

This expression alone is enough for Zhu Di to guess many things.

"This king is a cheerful person, he doesn't like to go around, so there is no need to say anything else."

"This time I am going to the Wa Kingdom, and I am going to take the two of you there. If you can make contributions, I will never be stingy with rewards."

"This king knows that under the Emperor of Japan is the shogunate."

"This king hereby promises that if you can help me, I can set aside two pieces of the territory that will be laid down in the future, as your opening and building a mansion."

"Both of you, this king personally asks my father for an edict to confer the title of General of the Wa Kingdom."

"Would you like it?"

Zhu Di's tone was indifferent, as if such a matter was not important in his eyes.

"Your Majesty King Yan, are you serious?" Asuka Inoue's eyes lit up and she asked.

"Inoue-kun, are you going to betray His Majesty the Emperor???" Kameda Reizo shouted suddenly.

Of course he said this in Japanese.

"Puff!!"

As soon as the words fell, the sword light flashed, and I saw that Zhu Di's sword had been pierced into Kameda Reizo's heart.

With the sword drawn out, Kameda Reizo was dead.

Zhu Di couldn't understand Japanese, but that didn't prevent him from feeling the anger in Kameda Reizan's tone.

However, when Asuka Inoue saw this, not only did he not feel the slightest sorrow over the death of his companion, but his eyes were filled with joy.

Zhu Di said at the right time: "This king keeps his promises, so there is no need to lie."

"This king believes that there will naturally be many heroes in the Wa country, who understand the principle that good birds choose trees to live in."

"However, this king believes even more. Instead of choosing those Japanese who have lived in the Japanese country for a long time, it is better to trust you who have lived in Daming for many years."

"If you think about the pros and cons of this, you should know better than this king."

Hearing this, Asuka Inoue had no other choice.

At this time, you can only believe if you believe it, or if you don't believe it.

Seeing this, Zhu Di didn't hesitate, and went down with a few swords to cut the rope.

After Inoue Asuka untied the restraint, he bowed his head to Zhu Dina.

Zhu Di's wild laughter echoed in the palace.

Zhu Di's matter was quickly fed back to Zhu Yuanzhang through Jin Yiwei.

Including some details of He Jinyiwei, Zhang Bo of the Qunying Chamber of Commerce, and Zhang San, are also recorded in detail.

However, after Zhu Yuanzhang read it, he didn't say anything, obviously acquiescing to Zhu Di's approach.

And Zhu Ying didn't say much about it.

Sometimes, people do need a lot of luck. In Zhu Ying's view, the conquest of the Wa Kingdom is far more important than suppressing Zhu Di.

If Zhu Di can really pacify the Wa Kingdom in one fell swoop, even if the entire Wa Kingdom is handed over to him to build a country and open a vassal, so what.

Zhu Ying is also very clear that it is actually a very difficult thing to completely pacify the Wa Kingdom.

It is already very good to see hope in three to five years.

Daming has lost a quarter of its troops, which means that whether it is Zhu Di, Zhu Bian, or Zhu Mian, it will be difficult to get reinforcements.

It can only be recruited and enlightened from the local aborigines.

This is a test of personal ability.

Daming will also move to Liaodong, fight against the grasslands, and control the land of South Vietnam centered on Annan.

More than 200 million soldiers seem to be a lot, but in fact they are evenly divided among many parties, and they are still a bit stretched.

The next day, the long-awaited Jingshi Mansion Newspaper finally went on sale.

In the capital, there are a total of 36 stores, which are sold and operated as residence newspapers.

And early in the morning, there was already a long queue in front of each store.

Everyone wants to buy a mansion newspaper with three pennies a piece, even if they can’t read it themselves, it is a very good choice to pass it on to their children in the family to learn how to read.

In terms of the quantity sold, Zhu Ying naturally made many restrictions.

First of all, one person can only buy one Dibao, not more.

Zhu Ying knew that under such a low price, there would definitely be a lot of scalpers who would raise the price for secondary sales.

However, the current mansion newspaper is in short supply, and price hikes are inevitable.

It can only be printed on the bottom right of each mansion newspaper with the words "Purchase price of three Wen", so as to crack down on possible scalpers.

At least the price of scalpers will not be too exaggerated.

With the beating of gongs and drums, all shops open at the same time.

I saw that the inside of the counter of the shop was already filled with layers of mansion newspapers.

And with the continuous sales, in just one morning, the millions of cents have all been sold out.

At this moment, all the storytellers above every restaurant are telling the current affairs of the mansion.
