Daming Greedy Wolf Star

Chapter 157 Homecoming
After walking out of the Sifang Pavilion, Li Zhenru was in a dream.

From the moment he decided to join forces with Zhu Gaosui, Li Zhuo was prepared to die, because as the crown prince, he knew very well that North Korea would not and did not dare to mess with the Ming Dynasty.

But this doesn't matter to Li Zhen. He has fallen from the peak to the trough, and will never have a chance to turn around again. To him, it would be better to die.

But now, not only is he fine, he has received Zhu Zhanhe's "forgiveness" and Zhu Zhanhe's support.

For Li Wei, this turn of events is no longer enough to describe his current mood.

but……

A diligent, studious, excellent in both character and learning since childhood, and he is also the prince of North Korea, so naturally he will not be far behind.

After a brief moment of excitement and disbelief, he quickly figured out Zhu Zhanhe's intention.

It was nothing more than wanting to support him and confront his younger brother, or in other words, his father, and finally let Daming reap the benefits.

However, Li Zhen still didn't think clearly, because in his opinion, the chance that Zhu Zhanhe wanted to compete for the reserve position was very slim, unless he waited until a hundred years after his grandfather Emperor Yongle, he also had a decent way of raising troops to appease Jingnan .

But if this is the case, it would be too early for Zhu Zhanhe to start laying the groundwork for North Korea.

Thinking of this, Li Bao suddenly shook his head.

No matter what Zhu Zhanhe's intentions are, this is the only opportunity for him. If he doesn't seize it this time, he will fall back to the bottom in the future, and he will never be able to stand up because of his seizure of Ming army supplies. .

Behind Li Bao, Zhu Zhanhe walked out of the Sifang Pavilion and looked at Li Bao's back with deep meaning.

In fact, he was not prepared to attack North Korea at the beginning because it was too difficult.

North Korea has always been an obedient subordinate country in Ming Dynasty's impression, and this situation has continued.

North Korea helped the famous Chenghua Liting incident.

In the Ming Dynasty, which governs the country with benevolence and filial piety, it is too difficult to take action against such a subordinate country. Will the old man agree to put it aside for the time being? Those civil servants will definitely obstruct it.

The reasons are all the same, such as going back on their word and attacking the subordinate parliament to make Ming Dynasty lose face, and no one will dare to rely on Ming Dynasty in the future.

If Zhu Zhanhe had been in Yingtian, he could slowly change it, but now that the Han Dynasty line has gone to Yunnan to become a vassal, it will be more difficult to achieve this.

However, Zhu Zhanhe was a little angry when he thought that Bangzi would spend 10,000+ to help the Japanese slaves attack the Central Plains.

Since they can't plot, let's use a little trick to let them cause chaos on their own.

But what Zhu Zhanhe didn't know was that there had been some changes within Ming Dynasty.

-

Yingtianfu, Wumanyi.

Wumanyi is actually the Sifang Pavilion of North Korea, a place used to receive envoys from other countries. However, the current Wumanyi is empty because the last batch of envoys who came with Zheng He’s fleet had already arrived on November last year. Yue left Daming.

It’s actually not right to say that, because someone has already moved into Wumanyi, but...

Not an envoy.

Zhu Di looked at the gate of Wuman Inn, then at the carriage in the yard, and stepped into Wuman Inn.

In the best room of Wuman Station, two men and one woman sat on the ground around a large box. If you walk in and take a closer look, you will find that these three people have fallen asleep.

However, when footsteps sounded, the three of them struggled to their feet and looked at the door warily.

However, not long after, the three quickly put the tip of the knife into the sheath and knelt on the ground.

"Caomin greets His Majesty..."

Zhu Di looked at the three people in ragged clothes in front of him, with a look of emotion on his face.

This person is very polarized. Some people are willing to betray everyone, including their loved ones, for a little profit, while some people can stick to their hearts and never give up their bottom line no matter what the situation is.

The three people in front of me are the latter.

"You all should go out." After being silent for an unknown period of time, Zhu Di finally spoke and drove out the accompanying Jin Yiwei, leaving only Ji Gang alone.

"Let's talk." Zhu Di sat on the chair brought by Ji Gang and looked at the three people in front of him.

The three people kneeling on the ground looked at each other for a long time, but no one spoke.

I don't know how long it took, but the three of them remained silent. Zhu Di was not in a hurry and just watched quietly.

In the end, it was the three of them who took the lead.

No words were spoken, but Qian Yong took off his sword without taking it out of its sheath. He just placed it on the ground and pushed it in Zhu Di's direction.

So did the other two.

The meaning is very simple, you cannot say, if you are not satisfied, then kill us, we will not resist.

"Alas..." Zhu Di sighed softly.

Seeing this situation, Zhu Di was a little angry and a little relieved.

What made him angry was that these people dared to resist the order face to face. Zhu Di hadn't encountered such a situation in a long time.

What is gratifying is that these people are his grandsons. Zhu Di is naturally very gratified to be so loyal to his grandson.

In fact, if these three people don't come back, Zhu Di will almost forget about them, because they have not been in Zhu Di's field of vision for too long.

The last time it was mentioned was when Zheng He came back.

These three people were the nails that Zhu Zhanhe buried in the Shipping Department in the seventh year of Yongle. Initially, there were 200 people. Later, due to some reasons, four people were eliminated before going to sea. In the end, only 196 people were left. Go to sea with Zheng He.

But now, there are only three of them left.

"Tell me what you can tell..."

Ji Gang did not expect, nor did Qian Yong and the other three, that it would be Zhu Di who finally gave in.

Taking a deep breath, Qian Yong spoke slowly.

"The seventh year of Yongle..."

-

Zhu Zhanhe didn't know what happened in Beijing. At this time, he had returned to Hizen on Shikoku Island and began to rectify military discipline.

To be honest, he didn't care how many Japanese pirates died, but he cared about the soldiers who followed him on the expedition.

He couldn't let these soldiers be ruined.

As for North Korea...

Although Zhu Zhanhe planted the nail of Li Bao, he did not expect to make any profit soon, or even thought that there would be any profit.

From his point of view, Li Wei is single and weak, and even with his own help, he may not be able to achieve great things.

Although Zhu Zhanhe really wants the Maoshan Iron Ore, it is a bit difficult for him now, and he already has a source of iron ore, but he has not started mining yet.

Shixi Iron Mine, the largest iron ore in reserves in Southeast Asia, is located in the former Dai Viet Kingdom of Chen Jixuan, now in Jiaozhi.

Although Shixi Iron Mine has only one-tenth of its reserves compared to Maoshan Iron Mine, which claims to have reserves of 50 billion tons, Zhu Zhanhe is already very satisfied, and it is enough for him in the short term.

Now, what he cares about most is Iwami Ginzan.
