Daming Greedy Wolf Star

Chapter 163 Not a very good signal (two in one)

When Chen Mao and Zheng Heng came to Iwami Yinshan, their first reaction was to sigh with emotion while slapping their mouths.

What Zhu Zhanhe did in the Japanese country has spread throughout the world, but people's reactions are relatively dull.

First, hearing and seeing are different. The difference between the impact of hearing and seeing is not at 01:30. After all, there are no photos and videos in this era.

This is the second time...

People are more or less accustomed to the name Zhu Zhanhe. Although the number of enemies killed by the Japanese country is large, people who have already brought it in first are somewhat less concerned about it.

What?Hundreds of thousands?Isn't this normal?Wasn't the Tatar tribe completely wiped out in the grasslands?
What?You said it was only 10,000+?nonsense!That's because there are only 10,000+ enemies!
Look at what Wala dared to do at that time.What would happen if he dared to move?Can Bei Zheng still only have 10,000+ kills?
Zheng Heng and Chen Mao also fell into this misunderstanding to some extent. Before coming, Zheng Heng and Chen Mao didn't think anything was wrong. Although they were somewhat jealous because they were also military generals, they still felt that if the other party was Zhu Zhanhe Very normal.

But when they saw the Jingguan, which was bigger than the one on the grassland, even though they were used to big scenes, they couldn't hold it any longer.

"His Royal Highness, this is..." Chen Mao stumbled a bit as he spoke. He pointed at the Jingguan by the lake and felt that the three views were shattered.

"What?" Zhu Zhanhe raised his head in confusion, and couldn't help but roll his eyes after seeing the Jingguan that Chen Mao pointed to.

"Jingguan! I've never seen it before! Didn't you join the expedition to the grassland?"

……

Chen Mao said he didn't want to talk.

It was right to join the grassland expedition. This was one of the experiences he was most proud of so far. Apart from that expedition to the grassland, there was only one experience that made him more proud than following Zhu Dijing with his father.

But when had he ever seen such a big Beijing? ?

"The general knows that this is Jingguan, but..." Chen Mao was speechless, and his words were a little incoherent.

"Isn't this a little big..."

"Well, if you want to say that, it's a bit..." Zhu Zhanhe nodded and explained casually.

"After the weather started to warm up, the Japanese began to organize an attack to take back the Iwami Silver Mountain. However, it is spring now, which is when the farming is busy, and the morale of their soldiers is not very high, so this is the result."

"Originally I didn't want to. After all, this Silver Mountain still needs a lot of miners, and I couldn't bear to let the soldiers or the people come from our Ming Dynasty. But if they insist on charging, I can't help it."

……

Zheng Heng and Chen Mao didn't know what Versailles was, but they felt that their self-esteem was somewhat frustrated after hearing Zhu Zhanhe's words.

"Then Jingguan..." Zheng Heng also felt his mouth was dry.

"Jingguan?" Zhu Zhanhe glanced at the Jingguan in the distance and said casually.

"I don't know exactly, but there should be 30 to [-] people..."

"I originally wanted to hold them back. After all, the silver mountain has already been won. Even if you don't do anything else, it is okay to mine here. Anyway, if you have income, you are naturally not in a hurry."

"But the Wa country probably didn't want me to be so comfortable. In addition, although the exchange rate for silver in the Wa country is not high, it is still money after all, so they began to organize people to attack."

"For more than a month, people from Bingo, Bichu, Mimasaku, Izumo and Boqi all attacked one after another with the intention of taking back Ginzan."

"No, I didn't want to push it forward, but I had no choice but to push it all the way to Lake Shindo in Izumo."

Now Zhu Zhanhe is no longer in Yinshan, because the Yinshan area has been stabilized and the supply troops have been stationed, so he took advantage of the Japanese army to attack Ishijian and led people directly to the direction of the Japanese capital Heianjing. .

Now he has left the Iwami Territory and arrived at Lake Shindo in the Izumo Territory.

It may be a bit of a coincidence to say it, the last time I was fishing in the sea when I was building Jingguan in the grassland, this time I was in Lake Shindo in the country of Wa, and both times I was next to the big lake.

Up to now, no herdsmen dare to use Yuyuerhai as a water source. Even those who dare to approach it are just drinking from a horse or something. They dare not get water from Yuyuerhai for people to drink.

It is estimated that Lake Shinji will be the same in the future.

But that's not certain, after all, people here may be born with something wrong, and maybe they can just get away with it.

If this is not the case, how can we explain the things they did in the future that outraged both humans and gods?
"His Royal Highness..." Listening to Zhu Zhanhe's remarks in Versailles, Chen Mao said that he did not want to stay here anymore.

"I don't know, can we go take a look?"

"What are you looking at?" Zhu Zhanhe looked confused when he heard this.

"What's there to see in Jingguan? It's not like you haven't seen it before."

"Besides, this time Zhujing Temple is also by the lake. The lake is half dyed red. What are you doing there?"

"Don't talk nonsense! How many soldiers did you bring this time?"

"Return to His Majesty the Crown Prince!" When it came to business, Zheng Heng and Chen Mao immediately became serious.

"The two of us are ordered by His Majesty to lead 6 soldiers, and everything is subject to His Royal Highness' orders!"

"6 people? Not bad." Zhu Zhanhe nodded with satisfaction, because he didn't expect that the old man could give to so many people.

6 people, plus the previous 10, totaling [-] people, which is not a small number.

You know, the last time Han King Zhu Gaosui led his army in the Northern Expedition, the actual available combat strength was only 10,000+. Although it was said to be 20, there were still many civilians among them.

"You should take people directly to Yinshan. I will advance to Heianjing later, and Yinshan will definitely not be able to take care of it."

"The current Silver Mountain produces about 15 taels of silver every month, which is not a small figure. It would be a pity to delay production, so your task is to guard the Silver Mountain and protect my supply lines. "

"Ah? This..."

Zhu Zhanhe looked at Zheng Heng and Chen Mao in surprise, wondering what they were hesitating about.

You know, the two of them were transferred this time because Zhu Zhanhe wanted to continue to advance. He only had a strength of more than [-] points, and there was no way to ensure the production of Yinshan while advancing, so they had them 's arrival

But now, it seems that the two of them are somewhat reluctant?
"Do you have any ideas?" Zhu Zhanhe put away the piles of battle reports on the table and turned to look at the two of them.

He wanted to see what these two people were doing.

If you are here to serve as a reserve soldier to help him... oh no, to help the court look after Yinshan, then he welcomes it, and maybe he will be willing to share some of his military exploits with them in the future.

But if they want to pick peaches...

Hum, Zhu Zhanhe can only say that they are too good at thinking. He, Zhu Zhanhe, is not Zhang Fu. The old man can give his third uncle a mother-level assistant with just one order.

Want to pick peaches?no problem!Zhu Zhanhe said that let alone peaches, he can give you the entire peach tree or even the entire peach forest, but!

If something happens in the future, don't expect him to wipe your ass!

"Your Highness, it's not what you think..." Looking at Zhu Zhanhe's expression, Zheng Heng and Chen Mao knew that Zhu Zhanhe had gone astray, and hurriedly began to explain.

"We... don't want to go to Yinshan. Can you let us follow you..."

"Don't get me wrong! Not everyone! Just the two of us!"

……

Zhu Zhanhe looked at Zheng Heng and Chen Mao with a puzzled expression.

It wouldn't be surprising if this was said about other military commanders. After all, military commanders themselves pursue military glory. Most of the military commanders in the court had previously supported the King of Han, and very few supported the prince.

But Zheng Heng and Chen Mao are different.

Although the two of them did not support the prince, they did not support the king of Han, because they had always been under the old man's control.

Zheng Heng was the hero of Jingnan. He was the first general to switch from Emperor Jianwen to the old man during the Jingnan period, and he made many military exploits later. Otherwise, he would not have been promoted to Marquis of Wu'an with his contribution to Jingnan.

As for Chen Mao, he also made meritorious service in Jingnan, but at that time he was only granted the title of Ningyang Bo. Later, in the sixth year of Yongle, he was promoted to the title of Ningyang Marquis for guarding Ningxia.

These two are the kind of military commanders who have no camp and always stand behind the old man.

But at the same time, this actually means that they will be of the prince's lineage, because normally, the prince is the future emperor, and since they are the emperor's people, they are naturally the prince's people.

But those are still a bit too early for now.

"You two..." Zhu Zhanhe looked at Zheng Heng and Chen Mao with interest.

"How many years has it been? It's been 12 years. You two are both veteran ministers of the court, and you are also honorary ministers who followed the imperial grandfather. Don't you understand the rules?"

"You don't know what kind of situation I'm in now. At this time, Grandpa Huang asked you to guard Ishimi Yinshan, but you want to follow me to conquer the Japanese country?"

"What impact will this have, you don't understand?"

Zheng Heng and Chen Mao looked at each other and wanted to say something, but they closed their mouths in unison.

Indeed, what Zhu Zhanhe said makes sense.

They are the rare generals in the court who do not take sides. This is a very important point. It may also be one of the important reasons why Zhu Gaochi recommended that the old man send them here.

But if they disobey orders and follow Zhu Zhanhe on the expedition...

Although it is said that the general will not accept his fate, this is not the same thing at all!

Are the emperors and princes worried that they will not obey orders?Nonsense!They are all afraid that they will be impressed by Zhu Zhanhe!

A person who has already lost his vassal...the crown prince of the Han Dynasty still has such great influence in the court. Even the emperor will be afraid of him, let alone the crown prince!

As for the question that they were talking about just the two of them, without soldiers...

This is even more serious. If there is no problem if they lead the troops, they will be considered as grabbing the credit, but if it is just the two of them, then they are really convinced.

Not to mention what will happen to Zhu Zhanhe in the future, even if they both go back, it will be difficult.

"Don't think too much." Zhu Zhanhe stood up with a smile and patted the two of them on the shoulders.

"Eating the king's salary is a matter of being loyal to the king."

"Just do what you have to do, and as for the rest..."

"It's no use thinking about it."

After saying that, Zhu Zhanhe left the camp, leaving only Zheng Heng and Chen Mao looking at each other.

To be honest, the two of them were very excited to be selected to support Iwami Yinshan this time. After all, they were the ones closest to Zhu Zhanhe after arriving.

Following a god of death who has built Jingguan several times, it is very simple to achieve military prowess.

Although this kind of meritorious service is no longer enough to promote them to the title of nobility, only the kind of meritorious service of commanding and winning the battle can promote them.

However, there is no general who does not desire military glory, even if it is just for comfort.

-

Yingtian Mansion, Imperial Palace, Qianqing Palace.

"You mean, those three people brought back some seeds?" After hearing Ji Gang's report, Zhu Di frowned.

The difference in worldview made it impossible for him to understand what Zhu Zhanhe was doing. In his opinion, there were no seeds in this world that Zhu Zhanhe sent people to travel thousands of miles to retrieve.

Especially...the losses are so huge.

Out of nearly 200 people, only three people came back alive, and these three people are still not intact.

Qian Yong and Jian Xiao had countless scars on their bodies. Even Zhu Zhanhe was afraid to look at them, let alone others.

The worst thing is Zhu Sanfeng, a woman. In order to ensure that she can return to the Ming Dynasty smoothly, she has experienced countless insults. She may not even remember...

Zhu Di didn't understand what kind of seed was worthy of Zhu Zhanhe's concern, and what kind of seed could make those 200 people willing to sacrifice their lives, or even something more important.

"I haven't found out what kind of seeds those seeds are?" Thinking of this, Zhu Di raised his head and asked again.

"Your Majesty, no..." A look of shame appeared on Ji Gang's face.

"His Royal Highness the King of Han sent people to keep watch day and night. There are people patrolling continuously for twelve hours. No one can approach without the permission of His Highness the Crown Prince."

"Furthermore, His Royal Highness has issued a death order. Anyone who approaches at will will be killed on the spot, no matter who they are."

"You have told me not to alert others, so I will..."

"Is that so..." Zhu Di lowered his head in thought.

At the beginning of issuing the order, he had emphasized to Ji Gang several times that the mission this time was to find out as much as possible what Zhu Zhanhe brought back, rather than to conduct a reckless investigation like before.

After all, Zhu Di just wanted to know what his grandson was doing, instead of thoroughly investigating and dealing with corrupt officials as before.

"Your Majesty, from now on..." Ji Gang breathed a sigh of relief and asked cautiously.

"Keep staring." Zhu Di sighed.

"Just keep an eye on it. It would be best if you can figure it out. If you can't figure it out..."

"Don't force it..."

"Yes!" Ji Gang was completely relaxed this time.

For things like this involving royal relatives, it would be better if Zhu Di issued a death order. Although he, the commander of the Imperial Guard, would feel uncomfortable, it would never be time to settle the score.

But if it's a royal relative like Zhu Zhanhe who is obviously very favored but can't express his feelings in words, if he can't handle it well, he will be gone as the commander of the Imperial Guard.

No, if it's just gone, that would be a relief, but I'm afraid that the future will settle the score and my whole family will be gone.
