Steam Daming: Stop calling me to supervise the country

Chapter 280

Zhu Zhanqian glared, Zhang Xianqi and the doctor arrived in time to save his life, but fell into a coma.

After the doctor's examination, Li Xianyu was poisoned to death, but poison was detected in the porridge she drank that day. When she was poisoned, the type of poison could not be found out.

Fortunately, the person who poisoned him knew whether he could not control the amount of the drug or kept his hand deliberately. Li Xianyu is only in a coma now, and he is out of danger after one night.

Zhu Zhan was furious and ordered a search of all Dongying people in Daejeon City. This was to find out whoever poisoned them.

But there were no clues, no poisoner, no tool for poisoning, no poison, and no one who wanted to poison Li Xianyu. Everything was clueless.

Zhu Zhanqian shut himself in the house and thought for a long time, who wants to kill her?She has never had any enemies, and if she had any enemies, it was only Zhu Yunwen who died at the bottom of the sea. Thinking of this, Zhu Zhanqian's back felt chills, could it be that there were really evil spirits who wanted his life.

No, it's impossible, there won't be ghosts, and there won't be death claims, it's just being poisoned.

It was just a repeated search, which caused complaints from the Japanese nobles in Daejeon City, and Ashikaga Yoshinori and Zhang Xianqi found Zhu Zhanqian together.

Zhu Zhanqian closed the door and did not see him. Zhang Xianqi knew that going on like this was not an option, so he said to Xiaosheng: "Elder-in-law Xiaosheng, go and report to His Highness, Zhang Xianqi asks to see you."

"Ambassador Zhang, it's not that I won't go. You have also seen the current situation. You know His Highness's temper. If I go in at this time, it will not offend His Highness. I am just a servant. I really dare not touch this. Brow." Xiaosheng also had a bitter face.

Understanding Xiaosheng's embarrassment, Zhang Xianqi was in a hurry and had no choice.

At this time, the door of Zhu Zhanqian's room opened by itself.

Zhu Zhanqian walked out. He was very haggard for a few days, and he never found the murderer, and even couldn't find any clues.

Several people looked at Zhu Zhanqian and didn't dare to speak first.

Zhu Zhanqian looked at the blue sky and white clouds and said, "General Ashikaga."

"What are your orders, Your Highness?"

"There are a lot of cherry blossoms in Dongying, help me find a beautiful place. I want the cherry blossoms to bloom longer and more beautifully. Girls like beautiful things after all. I'm going back to Daming soon, so I need to find a place for my concubine to rest in peace." Keep it up." Zhu Zhanqin murmured.

"Yes, don't worry, Your Highness, I will definitely find the best place for you." Ashikaga Yoshinaka agreed.

Li Xianyu is actually a Japanese woman. She doesn't have any complicated identity like a princess. She was just cultivated by Kui organization, fabricated and instilled a background story, but all her identities were Zhu Zhanqian's concubine before.

"Zhang Xianqi, stop the search."

Zhu Zhanqian's simple sentence relieved Zhang Xianqi. He was really afraid that if the search continued like this, the high-ranking officials of the Japanese aristocrats in Datian City would really unite and turn against him, and all the good things would be gone.

"General Ashikaga, please take a trip to convey my apologies to the Japanese nobles who have been harassed by our soldiers these days, and announce the various proportions of the silver mines in the future."

Ashikaga Yoshikyo also wanted to comfort Zhu Zhanqin, saying some mournful and conciliatory words, and sent him away after saying a word.

After Ashikaga Yoshinaka left, Zhu Zhanqian asked Zhang Xianqi to come forward: "How is the situation of the search in the past few days?"

"I haven't found anyone who might have murdered Miss Xianyu." Zhang Xianqi lowered his head helplessly. The murderer who poisoned him seemed to come and go without a trace, and he didn't know where he was at all.

"I'm asking about the attitude of the Japanese nobles towards our soldiers' search." Zhu Zhanqian's words made Zhang Xianqi not believe his ears. Zhu Zhanqian didn't seem to be affected by anything about Li Xianyu.

After reacting, he immediately said: "At the beginning, I learned that His Royal Highness's side concubine was poisoned, and when His Highness wanted to search, he cooperated, but gradually, after several days of searching, they turned their lodgings upside down, and something happened. Some small-scale verbal conflicts, there are always some bad tempers, today they jointly asked me and General Ashikaga to persuade His Highness."

"En." Zhu Zhanqian nodded: "It should be close to their bottom line. They can bear it for so many days. It seems that they should be afraid of Daming and our steam mothership battle group. Then Dongying will change its flag. Things should get better."

"Dongying changed its flag?" Zhang Xianqi looked at Zhu Zhanqian in shock.

He thought that Zhu Zhanqian had fallen because of Li Xianyu's affairs, but he didn't expect that from the beginning, the purpose of his search all over the city by soldiers was to test the bottom line of the Japanese nobles.

Sometimes you can't have a comprehensive understanding, so try it out.

People in Dongying are still quite afraid of him, the King of the Ming Dynasty. After so many days of searching the house every day, they really couldn’t help it. Let Ashikaga Yoshinaka and Zhang Xianqi intercede. question.

He has a clearer understanding of the fear of the Japanese people towards Daming.

For a moment, Zhang Xianqi didn't know whether Zhu Zhanqian's previous sinking was true or not. If it was completely false, he couldn't help but feel chills in his heart. This Highness is too ruthless.

But he thinks it is impossible, Zhu Zhan is not a ruthless person, his cries and tears that day are not fake, in order to fulfill his promise to make Li Xianyu his side concubine, he also specially asked Zhu Di for his will, Before leaving for Japan, he made up his mind to play with Li Xianyu.

It should have come to mind during the search.

No matter what, there is one thing that he doesn't have to worry about 100%, Zhu Zhanqian will never sink because of it.

He will continue to investigate Li Xianyu's matter, but he understands that this search should have no effect, so he can only ask Jin Yiwei to search secretly.

"Zhang Xianqi, who do you think is the murderer?"

Zhu Zhanqian's sudden question made Zhang Xianqi a little embarrassed, so he couldn't talk nonsense, so he expressed his guess: "Your Highness, do you think you may be a member of Kui's organization? Now Empress Xiaosong is dead, but we haven't found Kui. There should still be a lot of spies keeping all the information about the organization, maybe they did it."

Zhu Zhanqian's eyes were like falcons, and Zhang Xianqi saw that his face still had the look of Zhu Di's eagle Gu in those days.

He shook his head and said: "No, it's not Kui's person. The other party's method of poisoning is very clever. Li Xianyu has been at home and hasn't gone out since he came back. It must have been done at home, and the other party only killed Li Xianyu. The goal is very serious. Clear and precise, if Kui's spies, it would be reasonable to poison me together, his target is Li Xianyu, and only Li Xianyu deliberately avoided me."

Zhu Zhanqian has been thinking about this for the past two days, but he still can't figure out who wants such a result?

Who has such a deep hatred for Li Xianyu.

He couldn't figure it out, really couldn't figure it out.

Zhang Xianqi said: "Your Highness, I also don't understand this matter. Your Highness, could it be an evil spirit..."

"Impossible, absolutely impossible!" A dense fog shrouded tightly, and Zhu Zhanqian could not solve this mystery in his life.

It's too weird, it's really weird, Zhu Zhanqian thought of his concubine fighting for favor again, but immediately shook his head, the only side concubine here is Alia, and Alia will not regard Li Xianyu as an enemy, both of them It's the side concubine.

Chen Xinyue is even more impossible, she is not such a person, and even if she wants to compete for favor, she can't win Li Xianyu's head, not to mention that she has not passed the door, even if she has passed the door, she is the one with the lowest background and the least threat, Chen Xinyue has There is no room for such a girl.

We can only see Jin Yiwei's follow-up investigation and whether the other party will show his feet.

……

The day after tomorrow was a sunny day, and the New Year of Ming Dynasty was coming soon. Zhu Zhanqian gathered all the nobles of Japan in Datian City to start dividing the silver mines.

Crowds of people, red flags fluttering, gongs and drums blaring, firecrackers blaring, steam warships on the port are majestic, and steam motherships in the sea are also temporarily moored.

In fact, the proportions are almost the same as discussed. Today is to announce it. At the same time, Zhu Zhanqian arranged a military parade for them.

Let them see the majesty of the Ming army, and take the tanks to the street for a military parade.

Seeing the majestic tanks and all kinds of weapons passing by on the long street, the nobles of Dongying couldn’t help but feel fearful and lamented the power of Ming Dynasty, while the people mainly watched the excitement. After all, Datian City was the concession of Daming. Moreover, their life has been getting better and better in the past six months following the Ming Dynasty, and now they call themselves the common people of the Ming Concession.

Self-consciously higher than ordinary Dongying people half a chip.

Ashikaga Yoshinaka watched with great interest, Zhu Zhanyan smiled and said to him: "General Ashikaga, everyone can earn the share of Iwami Ginzan, and the future development of Dongpu will definitely become smoother and smoother. Your Excellency, General, please take care of him." Hold on to me."

Ashikaga Yoshinaka was flattered: "His Royal Highness, what you said really blew me away. Without you, there would be such a prosperous Dongying. People say that His Highness is a person with magical powers. No matter where he goes, he can make the lives of the people there become better." Getting better and better."

The dialogue between Zhu Zhanqian and Ashikaga Yoshikon is different from the original Ashikaga Yoshichi. Ashikaga Yoshichi maintained his dignity as a Japanese general, and he always had an equal dialogue with Zhu Zhanqian. The teacher obviously treated Zhu Zhanqian like a superior.

The characters of the two brothers are very surprised, and because Ashikaga Yoshichi has suppressed Ashikaga Yoshikyo for many years, Ashikaga Yoshinaka has long been used to someone from above making decisions. If he has to decide on big things, he will hesitate instead. Indecision.

His personality is not suitable for being a team leader. He is hesitant and lacks his own opinions. To put it badly, he has no backbone. To put it nicely, he is good at accepting opinions.

So I can't help but always ask and obey Zhu Zhanqian's thoughts.

It was precisely because of this that Zhu Zhanqian felt that he was the most suitable Japanese general, as long as he was obedient.

At this time, the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty handed a flag to Zhu Zhanqian. It was a flag with the sun and the moon on a blue background. Surrounded by the sun and the moon, it was Ming.This is the meaning of Ming Dynasty's hope that "all nations will come to Korea".

Due to the development of the "Silk Road" on the sea, the current maritime trade has developed, and ships from various countries shuttle back and forth in an endless stream.In order to better identify the identities of the ships of various countries and avoid unnecessary troubles, they all hang their own flags on the ships for easy identification.

Gradually, this flag has also become the recognized maritime flag of the Ming Dynasty. The imperial court has not publicly recognized any national flag. The South China Sea Fleet and Guangzhou merchant ships all use this sun and moon flag.

Of course, after this banner, many firms will also hang their own family or firm representative badges, this is for branding.

This flag has become a symbol, Zhu Zhanqian handed the flag to Ashikaga Yoshikyo at this time, Ashikaga Yoshinaka was a little puzzled.

"Your Highness, is this?"

"General Ashikaga, this is Ming's maritime flag. As long as you hang this flag on the sea, you will be protected by the Ming Navy. In the future, all merchant ships in Japan will fly this flag when they go to sea." Zhu Zhan said with a smile.

Flying the flag of Ming Dynasty is equivalent to being a subject of Ming Dynasty. Although Ashikaga Yoshinaka has no opinion, he is not stupid. Dongying is nominally a vassal state of Ming Dynasty, but few nobles in Dongying are willing to bow down to Ming Dynasty.

Seeing Ashikaga Yoshinaka's reluctant expression, Zhu Zhanqian smiled slightly, now it's not a question of whether you are willing or not, but that you have to follow me.

In the previous search, Zhu Zhanqian probed the bottom line of the Japanese nobles. They were still afraid of the power of Ming Dynasty, so it was much easier to handle.

"General Ashikaga, only by flying the flag of Ming Dynasty can we be completely safe on the sea. After all, our fleet has been fighting pirates in the sea all year round. Only by flying the flag of Ming Dynasty can we distinguish friend from foe."

Zhu Zhanqian was afraid that Ashikaga Yoshikon would not understand, so it can be said that the threat was very straightforward, and he almost said that if he hangs up, he is one of his own people, and if he doesn't hang up, he is a pirate.

Generally speaking, if you are wiped out by the Ming Fleet at sea, there will be no news, it is missing, it must be missing, and it is extremely difficult to find evidence of a ship sinking in the vast sea.

This made Ashikaga Yoshinaka's expression even more embarrassing, Zhu Zhan said earnestly: "General Ashikaga, you yourself know that I have been suffering from pirates for a long time, and most of them are Japanese pirates who fled from Japan. Both you and I are disadvantaged. My father advocates vigorously eliminating hostile forces at sea. The relationship between us is getting better and better. We also hope that there will be fewer and fewer Japanese pirates, so that we can further promote the development of both of you and me. It's also good for the general."

Ashikaga Yoshinaka weighed it up, and then said: "Your Highness, let me go back and discuss this matter with you, it is difficult for me to make a decision alone."

"Naturally, the general looked at the sea. This vast sea contains infinite wealth. The world is rolling in. If you follow it, you will prosper, and if you go against it, you will perish."

After explaining these things to Ashikaga Yoshinaka with half warning and half lure, Zhu Zhanqian stood up and said, "General Ashikaga, besides the flag, please let someone learn the song of our Ming Dynasty. If you can sing it, you are one of your own."

"Ready to sing, unity is strength, unity is strength."

As the soldiers began to sing, the Dongying people in Daejeon City also sang along. They had been taught door to door in advance, and they would always hum if they couldn't sing.

But the scene is really spectacular. Unity is strength if the kings and people of Japan sing in unison. Zhu Zhanqian is going to conduct a surprise training for the next new little emperor, and he must learn the song of Ming Dynasty in the shortest possible time.
