Daming Greedy Wolf Star

Chapter 257 The Rebel
Zhu Zhanhe didn't expect that the old man who was tough but also paid attention to the way of balance would be so decisive this time.

But Zhu Ling, on behalf of Zhu Zhanhe, came to Yingtian with Ma Qi's head. When he met Zhu Di, Zhu Di did not hesitate and asked Jin Yiwei to lead people and ransack Ma Qi's home.

The favor that I once had was completely destroyed in an instant. It was just a trip to Yunnan.

All of a sudden, all the maids and chamberlains in the palace were trembling with fear and caution.

However, what surprised Zhu Zhanhe was far more than that.

On the second day after Zhu Ling arrived in Yingtian, Zhu Di issued an order for Zhang Fu to lead his troops to withdraw from the Japanese country, support Jianzhou, and strive to capture the Jianzhou guards within half a month!

Once this order was issued, it immediately caused an uproar.

From the cabinet ministers to the common people, their attitudes towards this matter were surprisingly unanimous: This is not right.

Among them, Xia Yuanji was the most excited.

Today's Shijian Yinshan can supply more than 150 million taels of silver to the court a year, which is one of the important incomes of the national treasury. According to Zhu Zhanhe, this Shijian Yinshan can be mined for at least a hundred years.

In a hundred years, this loss is not 01:30 points.

However, this time Zhu Di did not listen to the minister's order, and directly issued the order without even discussing the matter at the court meeting.

In addition to the imperial court and the surrounding areas of Yingtian, the first person to learn about this matter was North Korea, followed by Qian Yong who was stationed on Sado Island in the Japanese country.

Knowing that the Ming Dynasty was about to withdraw from Japan and concentrate on resolving the civil strife, the court was immediately ready to board Japan and take over Iwami Ginzan.

They didn't dare to snatch the prey hunted by Daming, but now that Daming didn't want to eat it, they could still go over and eat the leftovers. At worst, they could just evacuate when Daming returned.

However, Qian Yong's speed far exceeded North Korea's expectations.

After learning about this incident, Qian Yong immediately sent people to Ishimi Yinshan to confirm the matter with Zhang Fu. After learning that the matter was true, he immediately implemented two steps of action.

In the first step, Qian Yong ordered the interruption of the mining of the Sado gold mine. Except for those who stayed behind, he personally led people to Iwami and took over the guard work of Iwami Ginzan.

Note that it is guarding, not mining.

The second part is to send a message to Zhu Zhanhe as quickly as possible.

Japanese country, Shi Jian.

Li Housheng looked at the Ming army in front of him and felt his hands and feet numb.

He had never thought that the Ming army would be so fast. North Korea's actions were already very fast. From the deployment of troops to the landing on the island to the arrival of Shi Jian, it only took seven days.

Compared with wars in the feudal era, this speed is already top-notch.

But even so, Qian Yong was one step ahead of him and took over the Shijian Yinshan.

Of course, even if he was one step ahead of Qian Yong, when Qian Yong came over, he would still have to let Iwami Yinshan out obediently.

Not to mention him, even the current North Korean monarch Li Fangyuan did not have the courage to fight with Zhu Zhanhe.

Because, the current North Korea is no longer what he, the North Korean king, can do.

"I wonder why Mr. Dequan is here?"

Qian Yong walked down the mountain road and looked at Li Housheng in front of him expressionlessly.

Li Housheng is a member of the North Korean clan. His father is the predecessor and the second monarch of North Korea, Li Bangguo. If Li Fangyuan had not launched two princes' rebellions twice, the current crown prince of North Korea would be...

His elder brother, Li Yuansheng, Lord Yiping.

However, in the first princely rebellion in North Korea, Li Fangyuan killed his eldest brother Li Bangshuo successively, so that the then North Korean monarch and the founding king Li Chenggui had to change Li Bangguo to be the crown prince.

During the Second Prince's Rebellion, Li Fangyuan eradicated Li Fangguo's power, forcing Li Fangguo to make his younger brother Li Fangyuan the heir apparent, and abdicated to him the following year.

As for Li Housheng, he was the eighth son of the former monarch of North Korea, Li Bangguo, and Dequanjun of North Korea.

In today's North Korea, because of the "help" from Zhu Zhanhe, Li Zhen was once again established as the crown prince, and he also obtained the help of North Korea's prominent families, basically ignoring his father.

The condition for him to get help from North Korea's prominent families was to once again use the neglected Li Bangguo lineage.

"No... nothing." Li Housheng trembled, because Qian Yong in front of him...

Qian Yong has never returned to Yunnan since he came to Japan. Years of killing and managing miners, coupled with the fact that Zhu Sanfeng, the only one who could tell the truth, was transferred away, made Qian Yong's character extremely cold.

It's daunting, even for people like Li Housheng.

"We got news that the Ming Dynasty asked the British Duke to return with troops in order to quickly resolve the civil strife. He was worried that these Japanese people would take advantage of the British Duke's return to cause trouble, so we wanted to come over and help."

"Now I won't bother you, Mr. Tokquan. When you go back, remember to tell your army that we accept this friendship."

Qian Yong spoke coldly, but as he spoke, thousands of Ming troops emerged from the mountains and fields, making Li Housheng tremble.

"But this stone sees Yinshan, we can manage it, so..."

"Understood! Understood..." Li Housheng immediately took two steps back and bowed slightly towards Qian Yong.

"Since we have already made preparations tomorrow morning, I will naturally not make any random moves. Don't do anything wrong."

"If Ming Dynasty needs it, just ask us, we will spare no effort!"

"Thank you." Qian Yong also bowed slightly, but his tone was as cold as ever.

Li Housheng reluctantly glanced at Ishimi Yinshan behind him and paused for a long time, but finally ordered to return.

Qian Yong narrowed his eyes and turned around to leave immediately after Li Housheng was no longer visible.

Not long after, another letter was sent from Japan, heading towards Xiangzhou Prefecture.

However, Zhu Zhanhe was not in Xiangzhou Prefecture or Dhaka City at this time.

However, although Zhu Zhanhe was not here, Zhu Gaoxu returned to Xiangzhou Mansion honestly after wandering around looking for his son.

After receiving the news from Qian Yong, Zhu Gaoxu immediately ordered two of his three guard posts to be transferred to the Japanese country, so that Qian Yong must guard Sado Gold Mountain and Iwami Silver Mountain at the same time.

This is the first time Zhu Gaoxu gave an order beyond his son.

Yaman.

This is located in the middle reaches of the Henghe River, and it is also the furthest point Zhu Zhanhe can reach for the time being.

Although Zhu Sanfeng had already led his people towards Multan, Zhu Zhanhe could not go ahead.

It's okay to go to war, but it's not safe there for fun.

"His Royal Highness!"

Zhu Zhanhe was looking at the snow-capped mountains in the distance. Although he knew they were far away, they always seemed so close, which made Zhu Zhanhe daydream.

After hearing the shout, Zhu Zhanhe put away his thoughts and turned to look at the source of the sound.

"His Royal Highness." Chen Xun panted and ran to Zhu Zhanhe, his face full of confusion.

"What's the matter with calling me back urgently?"

"Two things." Zhu Zhanhe took out a letter directly from his sleeve pocket without any ink marks.

"First, take people to intercept Zhang Yucheng's caravan and bring him back."

"second……"

Zhu Zhanhe didn't finish his sentence, but motioned Chen Xun to take a look at the letter he handed over.

……

It didn't take long for Chen Xun to finish reading the contents of the letter.

In fact, it's nothing, it's just the court's transfer of Zhang Fu.

"What do you think?"

"We must capture Shijian Yinshan!" Chen Xun replied without hesitation.

"Of course I know this." Zhu Zhanhe shook his head slightly.

"That's not what I'm asking you about, but about Zhang Fu going to Jianzhou Guard."

"This..." Chen Xun lowered his head and hesitated for a while before looking up and saying.

"Your Highness may have to make preparations, and His Majesty will probably take this opportunity...to move the capital!"

Zhu Zhanhe fell silent when he heard this.

Indeed, this was his first reaction after receiving the news.

Calling Zhang Fu back would do more harm than good. There was no need for the old man to do this, but he did so, which meant that the old man was preparing for other things.

Zhu Zhanhe felt that one was because of the relocation of the capital, and the other was because of the Wala incident.

By moving the capital to Shuntian, Shuntian will be able to respond faster whether it is fighting against Oara or the Eastern Chagatai Khanate.

Not to mention the distance from Shuntian to the grassland, when it comes to the Eastern Chagatai Khanate, Shuntian is closer than Yingtian.

However, Zhu Zhanhe was not optimistic about the old man's plan.

Again, it's not that he is conceited. If Ming doesn't help now...

It is unlikely to solve the Oara and Eastern Chagatai Khanates.

There is only Zhu Zhanhe, he has few worries, and now he still has the big granary of the Ganges Plain, and with the addition of white phosphorous eggs, it may be possible.

"By the way, Your Highness, what's going on with this piece of jade?"

Chen Xun's words interrupted Zhu Zhanhe's thinking and brought him back.

Zhang Yucheng was one of the three merchants initially reused by Zhu Zhanhe. He was used by Zhu Zhanhe at the same time as Li Chengliang and Song Shiyi to transport potatoes to the Sultan of Delhi.

"This person has rebelled." Zhu Zhanhe's tone was lowered, full of coldness.

"I received news from Zhanqi, saying that Zhang Yucheng's son suddenly left Yunnan with his family, heading west, suspected of going to Shu Shendu Road."

"Hiss..." Chen Xun gasped.

He knew about the affairs of Li Chengliang and the other three, because they knew things earlier and more than ordinary businessmen, so Zhu Zhanhe always kept surveillance on them.

As a bargaining chip for being reused, the relatives of Li Chengliang and the others cannot leave Yunnan. This is a rule and an agreement.

but now……

"Do you want to bring it back?"

"No need." Zhu Zhanhe shook his head and rejected Chen Xun's suggestion.

"Just deal with it directly, so as not to have long nights and dreams."

"After all, Shaharu may have already stared at him to death."

"Alas..." Chen Xun shook his head and sighed.

"Why bother... defect to the Timur Empire... the other party obviously wants what he has in his hands. If he really defected to it..."

Zhu Zhanhe smiled.

Chen Xun was right. The news about Hongshu could not contain the fire in the paper. It was for this reason that Zhang Yucheng decided to rebel.

But the words of the rulers cannot be trusted.

If the family really moved to Timur's empire, it would be like a fat chicken entering the wolf's den, a Bengal monitor lizard entering the third brother's house, and going to Shenyang to show off to Brother Dao.

"By the way, Your Highness, have you ever thought about..."

Chen Xun sighed for a while, then suddenly raised his head, his eyes flashing.

"After moving the capital, Yingtian..."

Zhu Zhanhe frowned, and Chen Xun suddenly fell silent.

According to the old man's idea, after the capital is moved, all the regulations of Yingtian Mansion, including the Six Ministries and other important institutions, will be retained. From now on, Shuntian Mansion will be the national capital, and Yingtian Mansion will be the remaining capital.

Chen Xun's idea is very simple. He just wants Zhu Zhanhe to take this opportunity to settle in Yingtian. When the time comes...

"Forget it, let's wait until the war in the imperial court is over." Zhu Zhanhe sighed.

Chen Xun also nodded slightly.

It is really not easy to bring up this matter at this time. Once it is brought up, Zhu Zhanhe will become the target of public criticism. When the war is over and the north is pacified, it may be possible.

But Chen Xun didn't expect, and Zhu Zhanhe didn't expect that this battle would turn out to be...

Five years!
