The First Corrupt Official of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 399 Zhu Yuanzhang, who was betrayed and separated from his relatives, and Marshal Ye, who regained his fighting spirit, this is a battle that students have fought!
"it is good!"

"I promise you, but don't regret it, kid!"

"We will definitely let you know what it means to give up when you are ready!"

"."

On the deck of the handsome ship,

Dozens of navy officers were attracted by Zhu Yuanzhang's aura as if he was pointing to the sky and swearing to the sun.

At the same time, they each clenched their fists with their left hands and pressed their swords with their right hands. As long as Ye Qing gave the order, they would definitely swarm forward.

Ye Qing ordered him to be beaten, and they would hit the general in front of them with fists as big as sandbags.

If Ye Qing ordered him to be killed, they would draw their swords decisively, cut the general in front of them into pieces, and then throw them into the sea to feed the fish.

Xu Da and Wang Baobao, who followed, were also sweating profusely because of the tense atmosphere in front of them.

Their previous strategy was to join forces first and quickly occupy the southwest corner of the Japanese kingdom, which is the southwest corner of the Japanese kingdom with the Hisikari gold mine, Kagoshima Prefecture!

After occupying Kagoshima Prefecture, he divided his troops to the north and south to attack the capitals of the Southern and Northern Dynasties of Japan respectively.

Therefore, for a long period of time, Xu Da and Wang Baobao would not be on their admiral ship, but would stay on Ye Qing's admiral ship.

Just when Xu Da and Wang Baobao were about to speak to ease the atmosphere, Ye Qing said with a smile: "Don't be nervous, everyone, just go ahead and do whatever you have to do."

"General Guo and I have known each other for several years. As early as when we were in Yanmen County, we were good brothers on the battlefield."

"If I see him talking loudly to me in the future, you can just pretend that you didn't hear me!"

After hearing this, the soldiers stopped the murderous intent in their eyes and dispersed in groups.

At the same time, Mao Xiang, whose palms were slightly sweaty as he held the handle of the knife, sighed with relief.

It must be such a relief!

If they were soldiers from other places, he would still be sure to kill dozens of them.

But these soldiers were all elite soldiers under his command, Ye Qing, so he really wasn't sure.

During the battle at Yanmen Pass, he had already seen the strength of Ye Qing's elite soldiers. Although these soldiers from the southern army were not as strong as the soldiers from the northern army, they all looked as tough as tigers.

But the sharpness of their eyes was not weaker than that of the defenders of Yanmen Pass.

Furthermore, even if he led Zhu Yuanzhang out of the siege, he might not be able to bring Zhu Yuanzhang to swim back to the shore alive.

You must know that this is Ye Qing's warship, a 'thief ship' that is not very useful for the emperor and the commander of the Imperial Guard.

And what lies outside this pirate ship is not an inland river, but a sea where whether you can swim or not is no longer important!
Just after Mao Xiang sighed with relief, Ye Qing looked at the 'Guo Shenjiang' who had reached a bet with him forcefully.

"it is good!"

"Two pounds of secret herring. If you can't finish it, I'll have someone use a funnel to stuff it in for you."

"If you can't put it in your mouth, put it in from here!"

Having said this, Ye Qing smiled and slapped Zhu Yuanzhang on the butt.

The force was not small, not only that Zhu Yuanzhang fell down immediately, but he also took a small step forward.

After doing this, Ye Qing walked back to the cabin hall on the fifth floor in a relaxed manner.

In Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes, Ye Qing walked away gracefully, while shaking off the hand that had spanked Zhu Yuanzhang's butt with great disgust.

Seeing this scene, Zhu Yuanzhang was really angry, and his reason could not suppress the anger in his heart.

If he wasn't on Ye Qing's 'pirate ship', he would definitely jump up and hit Ye Qing on the head, and he would have to hit him with the soles of his own shoes.

Now he really wants to kill Ye Qing!
It's not that he doesn't know that Ye Qing is better off alive than dead, but he really doesn't want to consider so many pros and cons, just to kill Ye Qing to vent his anger.

Now, even if he knows that he will regret it later, he would rather regret it slowly afterwards.

Xu Da, Wang Baobao and Zhu Di who were standing beside him looked at Zhu Yuanzhang with big blood-red eyes and bared teeth, and they admired Ye Qing even more.

You must know that although Zhu Yuanzhang is impulsive and irritable, he is not a madman who gets angry casually.

Wanting to make him angry is something that requires skill!

Maybe you can make him so angry and walk away in a cool way, which is really a great skill!
After a while, Zhu Yuanzhang finally breathed a sigh of relief.

But his beloved fourth son, Zhu Di, was not ready to let go just like that, his own father who had finally recovered.

Zhu Di stepped forward and asked, "Dad, my son has a question he would like to ask."

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at this and secretly clenched his fists as he was the unfilial son who lured him into the pirate ship.

He just said in a cold voice, supplemented by a warning tone: "If you fart, let it go."

Zhu Di smiled and said: "Dad, if what my master said is true, if these three warships can really not be afraid of wind and waves, can fight against war, sail quickly, and advance and retreat freely, do you think it's better? Happy?"

When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he was still unwilling to violate his conscience.

He just nodded lightly and said, "That's natural."

Just as Zhu Yuanzhang finished speaking, Zhu Di asked with great anticipation: "At that time, will you choose to kill the master and silence him, or eat two kilograms of secret herring with tears and laughter?"

"Of course we are."

When Zhu Yuanzhang said this, he glared, and then took off his shoes smoothly.

"You bastard, stop for me."

"If you have the guts, don't run away!"

"."

In the high-up command booth, Xu Da, Wang Baobao and Mao Xiang looked at this scene. Not only did they not feel that Zhu Di was excessive, but they also showed a faint smile of satisfaction.

I have to say, this is such a damn relief!

They never expected that Emperor Zhu, who was shouting and shouting on the dragon throne, would also end up today.

Whether they were servants of the emperor or brothers of Zhu Yuanzhang, they all watched the fun with peace of mind.

There is no other reason,

Zhu Di is not only the son of Zhu Yuanzhang, but also the son of the queen's sister-in-law. Naturally, they cannot help Zhu Yuanzhang deal with the son of the queen's sister-in-law.

Furthermore, if they take action now, they are not calling it to help the emperor get out, but they are calling it to disturb the emperor's family happiness.

Since it is the emperor's family matter, those who work as ministers can just watch the excitement from a distance.

Although Xu Da is considered a member of Zhu Yuanzhang's family and can participate in their family affairs to a limited extent, he now chooses to be an out-and-out 'minister'.

Furthermore, Zhu Di is his future son-in-law, and his relationship with Zhu Di is closer than his relationship with Zhu Yuanzhang.

Therefore, both in public and private matters, he should be here to watch the excitement.

Thinking of this, Xu Da immediately decided to start a gambling game.

Xu Da smiled lightly and said: "Boy, do you think that if these three big ships really have the effect of 'having your cake and eat it too', will he eat those two kilograms of secret herring?"

"How about we make a bet?"

"I bet he will definitely eat those two kilograms of secret herring. I bet 100,000 yuan. It's a small bet for fun!"

Wang Baobao also nodded firmly and said: "Okay, I will also bet 100,000 yuan that he will eat it!"

Immediately afterwards, the two of them looked at Zhu Yuanzhang's personal bodyguard, Commander Mao Xiang of the Jin Yiwei. Mao Xiang smiled lightly and said: "I don't have as much wealth as you two, but I also want to bet 10,000 yuan on whether he will eat it."

"No, if we all bet that he can eat it, who will pay us if he really eats it?"

When Xu Da and Wang Baobao heard this, they immediately reacted.

Yes!

They all bet on the same outcome, so there is no banker!

In fact, their voices are not very quiet either.

They did not say "Your Majesty", but "him". There was no possibility of exposing Zhu Yuanzhang's identity, so there was no need to speak too softly.

Therefore, their voices also reached the ears of Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Di's father and son who were surrounding the command booth.

Zhu Di quickly answered: "I bet a thousand gu that my father will eat the secret herring."

The next moment, Zhu Yuanzhang no longer chased Zhu Di, but looked angrily at the three 'rebels' on the command booth.

He stepped forward aggressively and said, "Okay, let's be the banker."

Then, he gritted his teeth and said, "Let's bet Mr. Guo Ruiguo and Mr. Guo Shenjiang that he will never eat these two kilograms of secret herring."

When Xu Da and Mao Xiang saw that Zhu Yuanzhang was serious, they naturally avoided their eyes and wanted to just laugh it off.

But Wang Baobao, who surrendered because of Ye Qing, directly raised his head and whispered: "Your Majesty, do you have money?"

"One hundred strings, can you get it?"

"If the Queen doesn't open her mouth, we don't believe you can get this money!"

Zhu Yuanzhang, who was stabbed in the heart, had the urge to throw Wang Baobao into the sea to feed the sharks.

Under the influence of a strong gambler's mentality, Zhu Yuanzhang gritted his molars and said: "I have no money, but I will borrow money from the Ministry of Household Affairs."

"If I eat that bullshit herring, I will pay you even if I borrow the money."

"But if I don't eat, you can pay me obediently, but you are not allowed to tell your queen sister-in-law!"

The next moment, Wang Baobao smiled decisively and said: "Deal."

With Wang Baobao taking the lead, Xu Da and Mao Xiang, who had been hesitant before, immediately gained confidence.

"make a deal!"

Immediately afterwards, Wang Baobao saw that the gambling agreement had been reached, and hurriedly asked for Zhu Di: "Your son's question just now is not very comprehensive. Let me help him supplement it."

"If Mr. Ye really did not let go of the fish or the bear's paw in this matter, Mr. Ye is a more sincere master."

"Even if you tell him that you are the emperor, even if he believes that you are the emperor, he still wants you to fulfill your bet and be an honest person."

"Otherwise, he will not serve as an official in the court!"

"When that time comes, will you eat these two kilograms of secret herring, or will you kill him in anger?"

"Kill him, and you will lose a talented person. It will not be easy to explain in front of the empress!"

"But if we don't kill him, we have to eat these two kilograms of secret herring."

"But once you eat these two kilograms of secret herring, you have to compensate us."

"But you are a moneyless master. Should you go to your empress for money, or should you borrow money from the Ministry of Household Affairs?"

"."

Xu Da looked at Wang Baobao, who was eloquent and kept doing one thing after another, and almost laughed like a pig.

"The most amazing man in the world, he deserves his reputation!"

While Xu Da secretly praised Wang Baobao, Mao Xiang focused his attention on Zhu Yuanzhang's face, which was sweating like rain on his forehead under the strong sea breeze.

In fact, among these people, the one who wanted to 'revenge' Zhu Yuanzhang the most was Mao Xiang.

This does not mean that Mao Xiang is disloyal, it is just a subtle human behavior.

Even if Wu Yong saw Ye Qing being defeated, he would secretly be happy!
As long as it's harmless, they are happy to see the people they are loyal to suffer some small defeats!
Mao Xiang looked at Zhu Yuanzhang at this moment, and just smiled secretly in his heart: "Your Majesty, you really didn't miss it. This is the 'most amazing man in the world' that you have personally dubbed."

"Isn't he the most amazing man in the world who can make you sweat like rain while blowing the sea breeze?"

"."

At this moment, the sound from the shore broke their beautiful time of temporarily forgetting the identity of the king and his ministers.

Their naval fleet had just sailed out of the mouth of Ningxiang Bay.

They saw people from Ninghai County and Xiangshan County waiting at the Haikou Pier early.

They waved various bright red fabrics and brightly colored coats, and the users roared at the top of their lungs.

"You must come back safely!"

"Fathers and fellow villagers in my hometown, we are waiting for your victory and triumph."

"Remember, your parents, wives, and children are waiting for you at home."

"My sons, you must come back safely!"

"."

On the decks of each ship, soldiers waved their helmets in response.

The generals with cloaks also waved their cloaks vigorously in response.

They may be the nephews of the people who came to see them off, or they may not know these fellow villagers who represent the "hometown elders".

But at this moment, it doesn’t matter whether we know each other or not!

Because whether they know each other, they are all elders from their hometown and their relatives!
In the cabin hall on the fifth floor of the handsome ship,

Ye Qing was lying on the window, watching the scene on the shore, and his thoughts suddenly returned to AD 663, which was the third year of Emperor Gaozong of the Tang Dynasty, the great sage Dahongxiao, and the third year of Longshuo.

At that time, his name was Ye Yun, and he had already resigned and retired to seclusion.

He stood on the shore and sent one of his students out to sea to fight against the Japanese.

Yes,

Liu Rengui, the general of the Tang Dynasty who led the Tang Dynasty navy to defeat the Japanese navy at Baijiangkou, so that the Japanese did not dare to raise their heads for nearly a thousand years, was one of his students.

At that time, because he had resigned long ago and did not want to delay his and Li Xueyan's two-person life due to court affairs, he rejected Tang Gaozong Li Zhi's request and recommended his student Liu Rengui instead!

In Ye Qing's view, this level of petty fighting is not worthy of an old guy like him, but it can become a practical lesson in naval warfare for his students!
Liu Rengui lived up to expectations and left this proud history of naval battles to the world.

Thinking of this, Ye Qing just smiled faintly.

He never expected that he would be forced by Zhu Yuanzhang to personally lead troops to fight a small-scale battle of this level.

But as the old saying goes, take care of things as they come.

Since he personally led the troops on the expedition, he would have a better record.

At the very least, he couldn't lose to his own students.

Thinking of this, the moment Ye Qing closed the window, there was a fighting spirit in his eyes that had not appeared for a long time! .
