Daming Greedy Wolf Star

Chapter 231 The imperial court... the old man's attitude?

When Zhu Zhanhe received the news from the grassland, his reaction was simple.

fling in teeth.

Miracles are called miracles because they are usually impossible to happen and cannot be replicated.

Zhu Zhanhe is a miracle.

In a world ruled by Confucianism, those born are basically Confucian scholars who are full of ideas about governing the country with benevolence, and unless the emperor is included, Confucian scholars are actually the ones who influence the government.

generals...

To put it bluntly, a military commander is actually a weapon in the hands of a Confucian scholar.

In this case, the chance of someone like Zhu Zhanhe appearing is very small, and with Zhu Zhanhe's thoughts and Zhu Zhanhe's identity, the chance is even smaller.

In history, this is the case for almost every dynasty. Except for the early stages of the rise, the emperors and even the royal family in the middle and late stages were all powerless losers.

With this kind of thinking, it would be strange for the imperial court to start a fight with the grassland.

Therefore, Zhu Zhanhe didn't care at all. After knowing the news, he threw it aside and began to concentrate on his own affairs.

The first thing he had to deal with was the Khmer and Cham states.

After receiving the Ming Dynasty's edict, the Khmer and Cham countries remained silent for a long time.

This is actually normal.

The idea of ​​the Khmer and Cham countries was actually the same as that of Oara before. It was just that the situation was stronger than the people. They couldn't defeat the Ming Dynasty, so they simply lowered their heads and said that the whole country was a vassal.

This is the same as what Zhu Zhanhe said before, saying that the whole country is attached to the country, but it is only in name. In fact, people still manage themselves. They don’t have to control anything except paying tribute every year. Even taxes are paid by themselves. of.

There are even benefits to paying tribute. After all, the rewards from the Ming Dynasty are far higher than the value of the tribute gifts they prepared for paying tribute.

But now, Ming Dynasty has changed and does not play according to the routine.

I just want to keep my head down for the time being. When you get old and can no longer carry the knife, I will change my body and go back to my original appearance.

But what about you?Good guy, you want to copy my old skills directly?

It was different from what I had expected, even very different. Naturally, the Khmer and Cham countries were not happy about it.

However, according to the law of conservation of energy, the overall situation in this world has not changed.

The Khmer and Cham countries were unhappy, but Zhu Zhanhe was happy!
Why did he report to Yingtian before, trying to forcefully interfere with Yingtian's decision, so that the previous conciliatory policy was forcibly aborted?Isn't it because he doesn't want to see a thunder left by his side?
Therefore, Zhu Zhanhe directly sent his troops to the Khmer border.

As for the people leading the troops...

Or Kunzashi.

That's right, you read that right, it's Kun Tashi, he's back again.

Originally, Kunzhaxi was going back to Uztangdusi to accept punishment. After all, on the surface, he was a private soldier and the culprit of invading other countries, but...

If someone knows the truth, everything will be easy to explain.

However, in fact, the Khmer and Cham countries are not the places that he pays most attention to, because although the Khmer and Cham countries are important, they are not the most important.

Moreover, to be honest, even if the Khmer and Champa countries can't be defeated, but to put it bluntly, they are just two weak chickens. How difficult can it be to solve them?
Is it difficult to beat?Or is it difficult not to disobey the imperial court?

There is no such thing as being unable to defeat them. If they could not be defeated, the Khmer and Cham countries would not be forced to this point.

As for the court's will...

Ha ha.

What was Zhu Zhanhe afraid of?
Isn’t the Japanese country a country that Emperor Taizu Gao decided not to conquer?Zhu Zhanhe was not destroyed in the same way. Not only did he slaughter the city, he also built two more fattened and enlarged capitals.

Isn't Siam the land of no conquest set by Emperor Taizu Gao?Didn't Zhu Zhanhe still have someone give them a bath with white phosphorous eggs?

Therefore, what Zhu Zhanhe is most concerned about now is not the Khmer and Champa kingdoms in the east of Xiangzhou Province, but the Manlaja in the south of Xiangzhou Province.

As the Malacca Strait that Zhu Zhanhe attaches most importance to, it is impossible for Zhu Zhanhe not to pay attention to it, but the more he pays attention to it, the more difficult it is to deal with.

In other places, he can use devastating attacks, such as white phosphorus eggs, but Manlajia cannot.

What he wants is a complete Malacca Strait that can be taken over immediately and generate value, not a ruin that requires a lot of manpower, material resources and energy to rebuild.

He originally wanted to let Jian Xiao go over, and then follow behind him. When Jian Xiao took Manlajia, he would directly move in and start organizing and using it.

However, the arrival of a person changed his plan slightly.

Zheng He.

"Zheng He pays homage to His Highness the Crown Prince."

Zheng He can now be said to be the only person in the Ming Dynasty. Everyone in the court, whether they are officials, ministers, or members of the royal family, treat him with great courtesy.

Zhu Zhanhe is no exception.

Although Zheng He was not a member of the Han Dynasty Party, his achievements can be admired by all future generations.

Therefore, even with different camps and the bonus of being a royal family member, Zhu Zhanhe would never put on airs against Zheng He.

"Commander Zheng is preparing to set off again?" Zhu Zhanhe looked at Zheng He with a smile on his face.

This smile is actually not the kind of friendly smile, but it can't be regarded as ridicule. Instead, it has a meaning of dumbfounding.

"His Royal Highness, yes." Zhu Zhanhe did not put on airs, but Zheng He did not dare to accept it so openly.

"His Royal Highness, this is what His Majesty ordered Zheng He to bring to you. Please take a look."

"Commander Zheng, this is..." The smile on Zhu Zhanhe's face never changed, and he pointed to the treasure ship docked at the beach with a bit of strangeness.

"His Royal Highness, this is the auspicious beast Qilin paid tribute by the Malin Kingdom. Your Majesty specially ordered Zheng He to bring you one."

That's right, Kirin.

Of course, Qilin is the name of the Ming Dynasty, and it is actually the giraffe in history.

People in the Ming Dynasty were very curious about this thing, but it was nothing to Zhu Zhanhe.

Although he hasn't seen it with his own eyes, he has watched it countless times on TV and online. What's so surprising about it?

"Tsk, tsk, this thing..." Zhu Zhanhe asked thoughtfully as he watched the boatmen on the boat leading the giraffe off the boat.

"Can I eat it?"

……

Zhu Zhanhe silenced Zheng Heqian with just one sentence, leaving him wondering how to answer.

Kirin eh!Although you are the emperor's grandson of the Ming Dynasty, can you have the most basic respect for this auspicious beast?
Also, even if you don't respect this auspicious beast, do you want to respect the Ming Emperor?Is this a reward from his old man?

If this were an ordinary person, he would have offered it to him as if he were serving his ancestors. How about you, do you want to eat it?
"Uh..." Zheng He thought for a moment and looked at Zhu Zhanhe with a hint of uncertainty.

"Your Highness, this is a gift from His Majesty, and it is also an auspicious unicorn. Do you want to... um... just think about it?"

Zhu Zhanhe shrugged upon hearing this.

He really doesn't care about this thing, because in his opinion, it is useless to raise this thing, it is better to raise a few dogs.

Dogs are all good, they eat whatever you want, they don’t need anyone to wait on them, and they can even help you with your work.

To raise this thing, you have to take good care of it, because it is a reward from the emperor. Although with Zhu Zhanhe's current identity and status, it would be nothing even if it was roasted and eaten on the spot, but that is not what happened.

"Okay..." Zhu Zhanhe smacked his lips, looking a little disappointed.

He really wanted to taste the taste of giraffe meat. When he was in Yingtian, he had eaten venison from Nurgandusi as tribute, and meat from deer and deer deer, but giraffe Well……

He really hasn't eaten.

"Commander Zheng, is there anything else?" Zhu Zhanhe asked Zheng He while directing people to pull the cumbersome giraffe back.

In Zhu Zhanhe's view, Zheng He was still ordered to sail to the West this time. Even if he worked part-time as a courier to deliver this giraffe to him, he would definitely not stay for a long time.

"One more thing." Zheng He nodded, but did not continue. Instead, he looked around with some deep meaning.

Seeing this, Zhu Zhanhe waved his hands.

Zhu Ling quickly took the people away, leaving a large enough place for Zhu Zhanhe and Zheng He.

"His Royal Highness." Zheng He bowed slightly and came to Zhu Zhanhe's side.

"His Majesty heard that His Highness was preparing to deal with Manlajia's affairs, so he specially asked Zheng He to come over and ask you if there is anything you need help with."

"Not only can it be reported to the imperial court, but this treasure fleet can also be used at will."

???

Zhu Zhanhe turned his head and looked at Zheng He in surprise.

Full of cards.

Zhu Zhanhe really didn't expect that the old man would do this, because although it was in line with the old man's actual character, it was not in line with the behavior of an emperor.

Although Parameswara used deception and betrayal to get Ming's approval, Ming still recognized him no matter what.

Generally speaking, when encountering this kind of thing, most emperors will make mistakes. Firstly, the cost of correcting the mistakes is too high and not worth it. Secondly, there is no need.

But this time...

"There is no need for the treasure fleet. As for the others..." Zhu Zhanhe looked thoughtfully toward the northeast.

That's the direction of Yingtian Mansion.

"I will discuss the other needs with Grandpa. Commander Zheng should focus on the great cause of the ocean first."

"Besides, didn't you bring a lot of envoys with you this time and prepare to escort them back to their own country?"

"It's not a good idea to bring an envoy with you in a war, so I won't bother Commander Zheng with his envoy."

"Then, everything is up to you." Zheng He bowed slightly.

Zheng He was a minister who was ordered to do things. Since Zhu Zhanhe said no, he would naturally not rush. After all, it would be the court, not him, who would contribute.

If his personal contribution is needed, then he has nothing to say. Whether it's flattering or following the rules, he will help.

But it was the imperial court that contributed, so he was not qualified to make the decision.

"Since His Highness the Crown Prince does not need to use the treasure fleet, Zheng He will take his leave first." Zheng He took two steps back and bowed to Zhu Zhanhe respectfully.

"Commander Zheng, please walk slowly." Zhu Zhanhe nodded, but said with deep meaning.

"Just a reminder, Commander Zheng, be careful when passing Manlajia, so as not to capsize in the gutter."
