Hongwu Survival Guide

Chapter 145
"There is only one thing you actually have to do. In the name of looting, kill all the kings, chieftains, or leaders on the islands you pass by. Of course, it is within your ability to deal with it."

Dinghai.

In the meeting hall of the Navy Governor's Mansion.

Regarding Zhu Yuan's ocean expansion plan, after Lao Zhu wrote back and asked him to do it freely again, facing a group of former pirate leaders who had been quietly summoned, the Ying Hai Envoy straight to the point.

The captain of the navy still sat on the side leisurely, not interrupting.

In the lobby, the long table imitating the one next door was temporarily removed, and there were more than a dozen ex-pirate leaders standing in the middle. Yan Xun, nicknamed "Yan Sanzhi" was quite prestigious among the former pirates by virtue of his personal qualifications. Everyone opened their mouths, cupped their fists and said, "My lord, forgive me for being blunt, how can I be sure that my lord will not kill donkeys in the future?"

There has been contact in advance.

Zhu Yuan's promise is that after completing the mission, the Ming army will follow in the future. Yan Xun and others can choose to be incorporated by the government, or they can be disarmed and returned to the fields to enjoy the wealth.

Zhu Yuan wondered: "Why should I kill the donkey?"

Yan Xun thought that Zhu Yuan was pretending to be stupid, and said directly with a little dissatisfaction: "My lord's plan is really not glorious, just because we know the inside story, who can imagine, whether in the future, my lord will get rid of us all in order to keep a secret? "

Only then did Zhu Yuan come to his senses, and shook his head with a smile: "I have always adhered to a principle: the winner is always right, and the winner is not to be blamed. If it gets to the point where I want to kill you guys to cover up these things, then I can only It means that what I want to do has failed. On the contrary, if I succeed, even the history books will only regard me as a hero who expanded the territory, and the flaws of a hero are not called flaws."

"My lord's thoughts..." Yan Xun was a little stunned, and didn't know how to express it for a moment, paused, and blurted out: "...My lord is more suitable than me..."

Having said this, Yan Xun stopped immediately.

"I'm indeed more suitable to be a pirate than you guys," Zhu Yuan took the words instead, and said, "Actually, if it wasn't for Da Ming's need for some cover-ups, there's no need to let you go out and create any excuses. go out."

When Yan Xun heard this, he felt that he was not surprised at all. After thinking about it, he tentatively said: "My lord...don't be afraid that I won't come back after I wait, or I won't follow your lord's plan. Shall I add some restraints while I wait?"

"You do as I said, and I will give you a chance to be included in the future. This is an exchange," Zhu Yuan said, "If you really go to be pirates and never return, then what you have to look forward to is Don't be caught by me forever, the pirates who are caught for the second time will not be able to enjoy my soft policy at the beginning. And, as I said just now, you are only a pawn I dropped on the chessboard, With or without, neither can change the overall trend of Ming Dynasty to open up the sea. The whole thing, it is you who should strive for it, not me."

There was a brief silence in the lobby.

A moment later, Gao Kai, who was once the second leader of the pirates under Yan Xun's subordinates, clasped his fists and said, "My lord, my little ones... can you take your family and leave together?"

This question made all the former pirates in the hall subconsciously cheer up, looking at Zhu Yuan on the right hand side of the hall without looking forward to it.

Zhu Yuan was a little surprised, and said with a smile, "Are you so insincere?"

Yan Xun saw that his brother had made a slip of the tongue, and was about to answer, Zhu Yuan said again: "You can take it if you want, as long as you don't mind wives and children at sea together."

This time, everyone didn't know how to speak for a while.

Zhu Yuan said again: "I am very sincere about this matter. As for you, the best advice I can give is to think that you have been included in advance, and this time you are on a business trip, doing what I just mentioned. While going through those things, you can also collect a large amount of money. I definitely don’t want these, ah, and I don’t want to come. After the work is done, and you have a proper identity, not only you, but even your descendants can be safe and secure. After all, no matter bandits or pirates, in the end, don’t they all want to seek a golden basin to wash their hands, isn’t that the reason?”

Yan Xun and others either nodded or agreed with each other.

Zhu Yuan said: "That's it, I'll give you another day to think about it, and talk to your former subordinates by the way. If you are willing to go, you will start preparing in the next few days. If you are not willing, you will continue to serve in accordance with the original sentence."

After Yan Xun and the others left, in the conference hall, Hua Gao finally put down the cup that he had been holding in his hand, and said, "It's not good if you don't restrain them at all. If you let these people go, you have to pay for a batch of big ships to go out. If you succeed in the future In the event of disaster, Hanlin, you have to take care of yourself."

Zhu Yuan thought for a while and said, "There is a question, don't think too much about it, just blurt it out and say it right away."

"Ok?"

"Tang Dynasty, which emperor do you think is the best?"

According to Zhu Yuan's request, Hua Gao blurted out: "Taizong."

"That's right," Zhu Yuan said, "You think that a person who imprisoned his father and murdered his brother was the best emperor in the Tang Dynasty. Compared to that, what did I do?"

Hua Gao nodded, then shook his head again, with a reminder: "Hanlin, your comparison...is not good, don't do this in the future."

"Actually, it's all the same," Zhu Yuan said, "Just like what I just said."

Hua Gao also remembered immediately.

The winner is always right, and the winner is not to blame.

This word...

Brilliant.

Hua Gao wanted to write it down.

Moreover, I also remembered the battle reports that have been sent back from the north these days, whether it is public or private.

One of the things that attracted the most attention in private was that Chang Yuchun, the deputy general of Zhenglu, made a detour and rushed all the way from Juyongguan to Yanmenguan.

Pity.

If he hadn't been blocked in Xinzhou for three full days, he might have blocked the expanded Timur in Taiyuan City.

After conquering Dadu, Shanxi was captured in just one month. The court publicly announced that it was a great victory. Only his senior generals knew that a certain primary strategic goal had not been achieved.

When Zhu Yuan and Hua Gao explained it, Hua Gao didn’t think that the expansion was worthy of being regarded as a “primary strategic goal”. Until later, when he heard that the expansion was decisive to survive by cutting off the tail... No, that was The body below the head was cut off, such a resolute person, if he was allowed to escape, it might really bring trouble to Daming in the future.

The two people here were talking, when suddenly a servant girl hurriedly appeared at the entrance of the lobby, was stopped by the guards, stopped quickly, looked into the hall and shouted: "My lord, yes, yes..."

Hua Gao's first reaction was to get angry at his family's unruly behavior, and he subconsciously reprimanded loudly: "He came here to make noise, looking for..." Halfway through saying this, Hua Gao seemed to be caught by something suddenly, his eyes widened and he hesitated for a while , stood up suddenly, even forgetting Zhu Yuan next to him, and ran out quickly.

Because I remembered.

In the morning, in the inner house...a man in the room who married the third concubine before said that it was not appropriate to see a doctor recently.

Hua Gao didn't take it too seriously, so he casually asked someone to invite Dai Sanchun next door.

now...

Got it, got it?
What can there be, what can there be?
Baby!

Zhu Yuan also heard the maid's words, and followed out of the lobby, Hua Gao was gone, and even the maid ran away in a hurry, after thinking about it, although he was familiar with the house, did he not rush after him? House.

So he went back to the lobby, found a copy of the mansion newspaper, and waited for specific news.

Hopefully this time it does.

In less than a cup of tea time, Zhu Yuan, who was looking down at the residence newspaper, felt a figure rushing in vigorously, and when he got close to him, he fell to the ground before he could react.

dong dong dong-

With three solid blows, Zhu Yuan got up and jumped away in fright.

Take it again!

Hua Gao knocked his head three times, straightened up, ignored the three big swellings on his forehead, almost opened his mouth, walked two steps forward on his knees, and grabbed Zhu Yuan who was about to hide again: "Hanlin, there you are!" , Really, haha...hahaha...My old Hua...has a queen, a———"

Facing someone who looked more exaggerated than "Fan Jinzhongju", Zhu Yuan gasped for air, his face turned red and he tried to pull back his arm: "Hand—hand—— hand--"

Hua Gao's grip was so light and heavy, Zhu Yuan felt that the five fingers of his right hand seemed to be completely twisted together, and tears fell down.

Hua Gao, who was still grinning, noticed Zhu Yuan's strange behavior, he looked down before reacting, and quickly let go: "I'm sorry, I'm too forgetful, come on, I'll rub it for you..."

Zhu Yuan dodged to the side again, seeing someone outside the hall had already looked over, he waved his hand and said, "My lord, get up quickly to make people laugh."

"What the hell," Hua Gao didn't seem to get up at all, and chased after him on his knees: "Hanlin, without your science, I don't know if I, Hua, can have a baby. When my baby falls to the ground, I will be wronged. Became his adoptive father. It's settled like this. I... I, Lao Hua, just keep a shy face, and we will become brothers in the future. Brother...don't say anything, I will give you another one."

thump—

In another loud kowtow, Zhu Yuan quickly hid far away.

Dazed.

I can't stay here, I'll hide first!
Ignoring a certain guy, Zhu Yuan turned around and walked out of the lobby.

When he came outside the hall, he happened to see Dai Sanchun leading his apprentice Sanqi, who was carrying a medicine box, out of the back house, accompanied by two happy women.

When Dai Sanchun saw Zhu Yuan, his first reaction was also a strange expression.

Dai Sanchun studied Zhu Yuan's "Scientific Parenting Handbook" very carefully. In it, some seafood supplements zinc, zinc is very important for male fertility, and there are some sayings such as the time of intercourse and posture, even 20 years old. It was the first time he had heard of it until he was 30 years old.

The whole book is just a few traditional Chinese medicine conditioning prescriptions that Dai Sanchun participated in sorting out, and he can understand a little.

Unexpectedly, it is only less than three months, and Hua Gao, who has been struggling for many years, will really have a son.

The two looked at each other for a moment, and Zhu Yuan spoke first: "Are you sure?"

Don't make a fool of yourself.

The one in the lobby is already in a daze, and if he makes a mistake afterwards and is overjoyed and sad, that's not good.

Then Dai Sanchun withdrew his thoughts, nodded, thought about it and said: "Not only Na Gu, but also another Chen, said... the menstruation has been late for two or three days, but it's still not sure, or Wait for a few more days, and I will not report for the time being..."

While talking here, suddenly a high-pitched voice said: "What, the Chen family also has it, rebirth, rebirth... let's go, let's go again, and then go and take a good pulse. Aha, my old Hua... this is to double Good luck, double happiness..."

Said that he had already grabbed Dai Sanchun's hand, while not forgetting the half-brother he had just forcibly recognized, he also grabbed Zhu Yuan and walked towards the back house again.

Toss some, in the end is still not sure.

Among the three concubines, Gu's menstruation had stopped for nearly a ten-day period, Dai Sanchun was asked to check, and the pulse was very obvious.The other Chen family, perhaps because of his physical fitness, Dai Sanchun really couldn't guarantee it.

After all, it is not too uncommon for certain matters of a woman's family to be advanced or delayed by a few days occasionally.

Dai Sanchun couldn't be sure, but Hua Gao believed that he had a double happiness and was obviously going crazy with joy, so he directly ordered that he planned to organize a banquet, and invited the theater troupe to make it lively.

So rowdy until lunch time.

Both Zhu Yuan and Dai Sanchun couldn't leave and were dragged to eat together.

By the way, I started to have my own thoughts: "Rebirth, the two girls...I look at the bones...do you want to prescribe some prescriptions to protect the pregnancy, and stick to it?"

Dai Sanchun was also still surprised, and planned to put Huagao's 'case' in a good place. Hearing this, he immediately expressed a serious expression: "My lord, the two Mrs. Ru are both in good health, and the medicine is three-point poisonous. However, medication is not good, as long as you eat normally.” Thinking about Huagao’s current state, Dai Sanchun added: “Don’t overdo it, anything is too much.”

Hua Gao looked a little disappointed and looked at Zhu Yuan.

Zhu Yuan said: "Mr. Dai is right, my lord, you are too happy now, I have to remind you, don't mess around like you used to use folk remedies, just in case...you know."

Zhu Yuan didn't finish saying "what if", but Hua Gao understood it immediately.

Immediately straightened up: "Brother, brother, I will listen to you."

You still call me 'Hanlin' more pleasing to the ear.

Listening to it this way... it seems that everyone has gone to Liangshan.

Zhu Yuan slandered slightly, and said: "My lord, you really have to listen to this, I think you just... Anyway, this is not a joke, just be good, eat and drink well every day, in the future... "

"I know, I will be a big fat boy in the future, hehe, hehe..."

Speaking of this, Hua Gao laughed a few times, but he was also rational, and said: "Even if it is a girl, anyway, if I can give birth, there will always be, um, and that Wang... and, I just thought, Brother, do you think I should marry a few more houses, just like yours. Hey, brother, speaking of this, brother, I will persuade you, and you should hurry up so that we can be in-laws in the future Ah."
