Chapter 8

Ever since he received this mission, Zhu Zhanhe knew that he was being used as a gun by the old man, and when he took the transfer order to the three major camps to transfer people, he was even more sure of his idea.

The 2 people that the old man transferred to him are nothing, but the problem lies in the generals of these 2 people.

Daming Uncle An Yuan, Liu Sheng!

Liu Sheng's resume up to now is considered brilliant, because he started from inheriting his father's position. In his early years, when he served as the guard of Baihu in Yanshan, he went through more than [-] battles, big and small. thing.

However, his real rise came in the fourth year of Yongle. He followed Zhang Fu in the conquest of Jiaozhi, led the navy to defeat the bandits, captured the pseudo-shangshu Ruan Xizhou and others alive, and later captured Li Jiwei and his comrades. Son Li Cheng.

Because of this achievement, Liu Sheng was granted the title of Uncle An Yuan and was granted a hereditary certificate.

In other words, Liu Sheng's Uncle An Yuan can be inherited by his son.

But this is not important to Zhu Zhanhe. The important thing is that this year Liu Sheng led the boat division to patrol the Daming sea area, and happened to encounter Japanese pirates, and chased them all the way to Qingzhou sea, defeated the Japanese pirates, and wiped out more than [-] enemies!
Zhu Zhanhe privately mobilized the Japanese army on the front foot, and the old man arranged for him a general with experience in fighting Japanese pirates on the back foot.

This is intriguing.

"The final general has met His Royal Highness!"

As soon as Zhu Zhanhe entered the three camps, Liu Sheng immediately greeted him.

"Excuse me." Although Zhu Zhanhe was young, he put on a good posture, and Liu Sheng didn't dare to underestimate him for a while.

"I wonder if An Yuanbo is ready?"

"My son! The [-] soldiers of the Fifth Army Battalion have been ordered! Your Highness, please inspect it!"

Although it was not an expedition, routine inspections were also a common practice, but Zhu Zhanhe did not follow these cumbersome rules.

"Okay, there's no need for an inspection." Zhu Zhanhe waved his hand, and shouted at Liu Sheng who wanted to go to inform the soldiers.

"It's urgent, and this time it's not an expedition, so let's not do these useless things, you lead the team directly to the wharf on the north side of Yingtian, there is a treasure ship waiting there, the first stop is Xiushui in Jiaxing Mansion. "

Yingtianfu is adjacent to the Yangtze River, and water transportation is faster in this era.

Liu Sheng was startled when he heard the words, he thought that Zhu Zhanhe would be as fastidious as his father Han Wang Zhu Gaoxu, but he didn't expect Zhu Zhanhe to be informal.

This made Liu Sheng feel good about him, but that's all.

After all, Liu Sheng used to be in charge of the Shenji Battalion, which was dominated by firearms, and King Han was mainly in charge of the [-] Battalion, which mainly consisted of cavalry in previous wars. The relationship between the two is not close.

This is also the reason why Zhu Zhanhe did not inspect the soldiers.

If it was the [-] Battalion, he would still take a look. With the influence of his father, he would be able to command these soldiers better if he went to brush his face. But the Fifth Army Battalion is an infantry battalion, and it is not under the control of his father, King Han.

To be honest, the Fifth Army Battalion has a closer relationship with Zhao Wang, that is, Zhu Zhanhe's third uncle.

In previous wars, Zhao Wang Zhu Gaosui was mainly in charge of the Weizishou camp, which was under the Fifth Army Battalion.

After the order was given to the general, Zhu Zhanhe stopped wandering around in these three battalions, because for him, these three battalions were nothing to see.

Because of his father, Zhu Zhanhe came here a lot. The three camps are not as familiar to him as home, but they are not far behind.

After leaving the three camps, Zhu Zhanhe headed directly towards the pier.

Now his confidence is getting stronger and stronger, and he is more and more sure that the old man is pulling him out to take the blame.

Why?Because of the way to go to Jiaxing this time!

You know, the treasure ship is the ship used by Zheng He on his voyages to the West, and one ship is enough to accommodate nearly 2000 people!
The manufacture of each treasure ship is quite expensive, even if it is to grab food, it will not reach the point of using treasure ships, and one use is ten!
You know, even if it is a land march, it will take about three days if the court notifies the following in advance, and it is really not worthwhile to use the treasure ship.

Secondly, Zheng He returned from his second voyage to the Western Ocean in June, and immediately began to prepare for the voyage.

Although the treasure ship transferred to Zhu Zhanhe this time is a spare, it cannot be moved casually.

Moreover, it's fine if you're not in a hurry, but according to history, Zheng He will go to the West again in September!
In a month's time, if these spare treasure ships were to be used for anything else, wouldn't that be a bad thing?
In comparison, it's not worth it at all!

Zhu Zhanhe, who secretly mobilized the Japanese army, the treasure ship that should not be used, and Liu Sheng, who has experience in fighting Japanese pirates, what kind of combination can such three conditions be put together?

Anyone with a brain can think of it.

And more than that, people with brains may not only come up with such a little bit, but many, many.

So much... Maybe Zhu Zhanhe didn't expect it.

When Zhu Zhanhe was about to leave for Jiaxing Mansion, a person came from the Wenhua Hall of Yingtian Palace.

Xie Jin.

Logically speaking, under a prosperous dynasty, it can be said that the vast majority of officials are capable, and there must be corrupt officials among them, but these corrupt officials are either still useful, or their power is entangled and cannot be cleaned up in a short time.

But there are rarely those who have no ability and still exist, and exist in a high position.

The strange thing is that there was such a person during the Yongle period, and this person was Xie Jin.

Of course, it's a bit too much to say that Xie Jin, because he still has real talents, but in terms of Xie Jin's ability, the chief assistant of the cabinet is really a bit high.

Because Xie Jin's flexibility, or his ability to adapt to the wind is really average.

In fact, Xie Jin's superior position can be summed up for two reasons. One is that he does a good job of pretending, and the other reason is that although he has the ability to adapt to the wind, it is not enough.

Among them, the second point is the most important point.

When Zhu Di came to be in charge of Yingtian Mansion, many civil servants refused to accept Zhu Di, and even cursed everywhere. The most famous one was Fang Xiaoru, who was punished by the ten clans.

After killing a bunch of old Jianwen ministers, Zhu Di regretted it, because he had killed too many, which made his image in the hearts of civil servants even worse. The effect is manifested.

For this reason, Xie Jin was quickly promoted. In addition, when he was ordered to review the articles written by Jianwen's old officials, he would take away and destroy all the insults to Zhu Di in advance, and only presented the articles about military aircraft and people's livelihood to Zhu Di. , Xie Jin finally entered the cabinet and became the chief assistant.

But still the same sentence, although Xie Jin's ability to adapt to the wind is good, it is too ordinary.

This is one of the reasons why he was thrown into the snow to freeze to death in the end...
