The eldest grandson of Emperor Ming Dynasty!

Chapter 421 Sapphire's Shock

The first naval battle between Ming and Wa ended with a complete victory for Ming.

It is a complete victory.

No one was killed in battle, and no one was damaged on the battlefield.

The difference is too huge.

The Japanese side is also ruthless, almost all suicide attacks, but when the last warship was sunk, it did not cause actual damage to the Ming army.

"Take no prisoners."

Feng Sheng looked at the Japanese warrior who fell into the water on the sea, and said indifferently.

Kindness does not hold soldiers.

Feng Sheng, who has spent most of his life on horseback, naturally has no pity for the weak.

These Japanese warriors who fell into the water are very brave, and they are not afraid of death. It is difficult for them to stay in the army, and they are completely a disaster.

Even if it is forcibly cultivated into a fine work, the cost is too high.

The best secret agents are never sergeants.

But the nobility.

For this point, Feng Sheng has a very deep understanding.

As the military order was issued, thousands of warships assembled, and the soldiers on board bent their bows and set arrows to shoot directly.

The reason why the fire system is not used is mainly because gunpowder is expensive and it is difficult to replenish it at sea. In this situation of killing dogs in the water, there is no need to waste it.

After staying for about a stick of incense, Feng Sheng felt that the shooting was basically completed, and then Feng Sheng ordered the fleet to move on.

Go to Kyushu Island.

The more than 500 warships of the Wa Kingdom only hindered the Ming Navy for less than two hours.

It doesn't make any sense.

Daming here.

Lan Yu, Zhu Quan and others have returned to the capital.

For the imperial court, Tian Jiucheng and others rebelled, the biggest nature of which was proclaiming the emperor.

In fact, the number of people who have rebelled in the past few years is actually not small. On average, similar situations happen every few years.

It's just that Tian Jiucheng's momentum is a little bigger this time.

It is not too much credit, it is equivalent to training soldiers.

But the next thing to go to Liaodong is very important.

"The change in the capital is too big. How long have I been waiting for this? I haven't arrived in two months. It feels like I've changed a place."

After the morning court, Lan Yu and Cao Zhen followed the previous habit, inviting friends to eat and drink.

No matter how you say it is a victory, brothers need to celebrate.

When I came back before, I was already shocked by Zhengyang Avenue once, and when I didn't want to walk around, it was even more exaggerated.

Hearing Cao Zhen's exclamation, Lan Yu nodded in agreement.

"Not only that, haven't you noticed that the people in the capital seem to have changed a lot?"

Cao Zhen couldn't help observing Lan Yu's words carefully, but looking at the hurrying passers-by, it didn't seem to have changed much.

Seeing that Cao Zhen didn't feel anything, Lan Yu also knew the situation of her brother, so she didn't bother to go around and said bluntly:
"Look at these people, do they all have a sense of hope in the past, and even when talking to people, they smile sincerely and happily."

"Even if it's a peddler carrying a burden, it's very energetic."

Hearing these words, Cao Zhen discovered these characteristics.

Recalling the situation of the common people outside the capital, it is much more obvious in comparison.

"Come on, let's go to Laifu Restaurant first."

Sapphire said hello and went first.

Laifu Restaurant is quite well-known in the capital, and noble generals like Lan Yu often have dinner there.

It is said to be a restaurant, but it is actually a structure with a front building and a backyard.

Sapphire and other Huaixi dignitaries are all of high status, so when they come to eat and drink in the restaurant, it is impossible to stay in the lobby.

Otherwise, ordinary guests will not be able to let go.

This Laifu restaurant is the Chang family's business, so it still needs to take care of it.

"Mr. Liang, this way please."

The shopkeeper of the restaurant has sharp eyes. Hearing that Lord Liang has returned from victory, he has been staring at the main road whenever the restaurant opens for the past two days.

Sure enough, he soon saw Sapphire's figure.

Before the boy could make a move, he came out from the counter to greet him.

Going to the backyard of the restaurant naturally has a separate side door.

But Lan Yu stopped at the entrance of the restaurant, frowned and asked, "What are the storytellers talking about here?"

In just a few short sentences, Lan Yu heard some familiar content, which was about some arrangements above the court.

When will restaurants be able to talk about state affairs so blatantly?

The shopkeeper quickly explained: "I don't know about Liangguo Gongping's return. Recently, in the capital, storytellers are being asked to tell the contents of the mansion newspaper."

"There is a lot of news about the imperial court in the residence newspaper, and everyone is very interested."

Listening to the shopkeeper's explanation, Sapphire immediately became interested.

"Okay, let's go and listen to the story first, what is it talking about, and tell the brothers in the backyard, I will go later."

Hearing Duke Liang's order, the shopkeeper quickly greeted him personally and entered the lobby of the restaurant.

Naturally, Cao Zhen also came along.

Greeting a clever boy to wait by the side, the shopkeeper trotted towards the backyard to deliver the message.

It's true that the restaurant belongs to the Chang family, but his shopkeeper is not from the Chang family.

He could not offend any of the officials in the backyard.

The shopkeeper has always been very clear that it is impossible for him to be the shopkeeper of Chang's restaurant all his life. If he offends someone in this position, maybe others will not embarrass him for the time being because of Chang's face.

But if you are careful, when he is done with work, just say hello to him, and his family will be ruined.

For Sapphire's entrance, many guests in the restaurant did not have much reaction.

After all, there is no such thing as portraits in this era, and no one will know them unless they are familiar with them.

Because of the Chang family's business, Laifu Restaurant is considered high-end and safe in the entire capital.

No green skin has ever dared to make trouble here.

Even if the price here is not low, the same tea is a few cents more expensive than other restaurants, but it is decent.

After sitting in the restaurant, Lan Yu and Cao Zhen began to hear about the scholar.

Just listening, the originally relaxed face became a bit serious.

Some of the things the storyteller is talking about now are mainly about the recent developments of the Dibao, including some previous content of the Dibao, which also has a lot of elements of retelling.

After all, if you read a mansion newspaper according to what you read, even if you speak a little slower, you will lose your tea time.

Therefore, when the storyteller is telling the story, he can't finish it all at once, just end it.

You can only add a lot of your own things into it.

Sometimes, as a last resort, I took out the content of the previous mansion newspaper and analyzed it again.

Fortunately, the guests did not feel bored and enjoyed listening to it.

The most important key is that the residence newspaper is updated very quickly, especially in the capital.

But now these are very important news for Sapphire.

Because the changes in Daming are all about this.

When the storyteller was elaborating, some opinions that had already spread were also expressed.

After listening for half an hour.

It wasn't until the content began to be recounted that Sapphire got up and left.

"I didn't expect that His Royal Highness, Grandson, is really so powerful. Although I had already guessed something, I was still very surprised when it really came to this day."

"This is only what a small storyteller can see, and there are many more things that can't be seen."

"Brother Zhen, I have a feeling that today's Da Ming, under the leadership of His Highness the Grandson, may undergo an extremely rapid change, which is beyond your imagination."

Sapphire is smart.

Among all the honorable generals, they can be regarded as the younger generation.

He is somewhat reckless in character, but that doesn't mean he can't learn.

On the contrary, Sapphire's learning ability is very powerful.

If not, then there would be no current Sapphire.

It's just that the continuous credits have blinded his eyes, especially after reaching the peak, there is a feeling of giving up to me.

The former famous official was slowly aging, and he inherited the power of Chang Yuchun's direct lineage, and he was very popular in the entire Ming Dynasty.

Coupled with the close relationship with His Royal Highness, it is really arrogant.

But after going through Zhu Ying's experience, especially the list that Sapphire still remembers fresh.

The current Sapphire, on the contrary, has calmed down like this.

Once the mentality changes, the vision will naturally be different.

So when I heard the storyteller about the recent changes in the capital, I could think of so many things.

In fact, Lan Yu called the brothers to eat and drink this time, because she also wanted to inquire about the latest news of the capital.

Cao Zhen didn't come from a big family, he climbed up slowly by relying on his daring to fight and kill.

Of course, I listened to what the storyteller said with great interest.

But now listening to Lan Yu say this, I feel a little confused and don't know how to answer.

Sapphire just sighed to herself, and didn't mean to ask him to answer.

In the capital, it was not the generals like Lan Yu who felt the most, but Li Jinglong.

Li Jinglong, who has a very strong relationship with Zhu Di.

"Cousin, you left early, what would you think if you saw the changes in the capital?"

In Prince Yan's mansion, Li Jinglong said with a sigh.

In the yard, he and Princess Yan sat facing each other.

"No matter how good the capital is, it's not your cousin's world. You should know your cousin's temperament, and you must be strong in your life."

"Now the Japanese side should have started a war. With your cousin's ability, he will naturally win all the way. I am not worried about these. What I am worried about is what His Royal Highness Taisun means."

"Jing Long, please tell me carefully, will there be any changes on His Royal Highness's side?"

Xu Yihua was in the capital, so he could clearly see the changes in the capital.

She seldom goes out, but she has been out frequently for more than a month.

Just to observe the changes in the capital.

Perhaps in the eyes of others, it is natural that the development is better, and the people live and work in peace and contentment.

But in Xu Yihua's eyes, he saw His Royal Highness's grandson's ambition, a huge ambition.

Especially the appearance of the residence newspaper made Xu Yihua feel a little panicked.

As a girl who grew up in the palace since she was a child, and then a princess, she has never been unfamiliar with the word "people's heart".

The appearance of the Di Bao is completely a big killer for manipulating public opinion.

Different from the previous defense against the people, it is now used for one's own use.

In other words, as long as the grandson thinks what he wants, he can use the mansion report as a guide to form changes.

It's scary.

Recently Xu Yihua also dressed up in disguise to listen to the thoughts of those businessmen, scholars, and even street vendors.

Because everyone is discussing the things in the newspaper.

In the end, she found that everyone believed in the contents of the mansion newspaper.

Especially when the Japanese pirates' violations were published in the mansion newspaper, anyone who saw or heard the content would hate the Japanese pirates to the bone.

And Xu Yihua knew that with His Royal Highness Taisun's current ability, whoever he pointed out was a 'Japanese pirate' would be a Japanese pirate.

Even the ministers in the court do not have the slightest ability to resist.

For Daming, this is a good thing.

But for King Yan, it was difficult to estimate.

Li Jinglong listened to his cousin's words, but did not answer immediately, but fell silent.

After a long time, he finally opened his mouth and said, "I went to the palace two days ago and happened to meet Yun Wen."

"Yun Wen was very happy to tell me that His Royal Highness agreed to the news of his overseas establishment of a country, and the place where Yun Wen chose to establish a feudal country was in Champa, my cousin should know."

Xu Yihua nodded. She was no stranger to Zhancheng, because many spices from the palace were transported from Zhancheng.

At this point, it is relatively well-known.

"The location of Champa is very special. His Majesty's thoughts on maritime trade have never faded, which shows the importance of Champa."

"But Yun Yun asked to go to occupy the city, His Royal Highness still agreed. If it was just a simple agreement, maybe I would think too much, but His Royal Highness first let Yun Wen enter the Military Academy to study."

"This is completely different. It shows that His Royal Highness really wants Yun Wen to establish a vassal state in Champa."

"What does my cousin think?"

Li Jinglong did not answer Xu Yihua's question directly, but instead talked about the recent incident of Zhu Yunqi.

But Xu Yihua, heard the meaning behind the words.

Li Jinglong's meaning is very simple, that is, His Royal Highness can give up all the important places to Zhu Yunqi, which shows that he really cares about the blood relationship.

The conflict between Zhu Yunqi and the grandson was more direct than that between King Yan and the grandson.

After all, before the grandson entered the palace, His Majesty had already announced that Zhu Yunqi would be the heir apparent, and even announced the date of the canonization ceremony.

But when Zhu Ying came, His Majesty directly abolished Zhu Yunqi's grandson position.

Judging from the situation, it has already formed a momentum of incompatibility.

So what Li Jinglong meant was that His Royal Highness, even Zhu Yunqi, can be reused, so Uncle Biao should be able to, too.

Xu Yihua hesitated for a moment and said: "Princess Concubine, Jing Long should be familiar with her."

"When I was in the palace, I often came into contact with her. She is not simple."

"Yun Wen can't think of Champa, but she can."

"Your cousin is different. He has made great contributions to him. Isn't His Royal Highness afraid of the Lord with great achievements?"

Li Jinglong shook his head and said: "No matter how strong my cousin is, there is still Liang Guogong, and the noble generals of Huaixi."

"The most important thing is that His Royal Highness is still very young, and the descendants of my cousin can't threaten His Royal Highness at all."

"It doesn't matter if it's Japan or Liaodong."
