I'm only seven years old, Lao Zhu, you let me supervise the country?

Chapter 151: The court made a mistake, worshiping heaven and ancestors!
Huang Zicheng was really anxious.

He just wanted to dig a hole for Zhu Yunxu, but he didn't really want to reward him for his military exploits.

How can it be true?
Jin Yiwei, who reported the victory, was stunned, kowtowed to Lao Zhu again and again, and said, "Your Majesty, this matter is absolutely true, and there is absolutely no falsehood."

Feng Sheng took three steps at a time and rushed down from the high platform. He grabbed the good news in his hand and opened it. His face was filled with disbelief.

"Is this... this... is this true?"

He stepped back a few steps and almost fell.

After a daze, he realized that His Majesty the Emperor was looking at him.

The good news should be presented to His Majesty first.

But he was so excited just now that he didn't care about it.

Feng Sheng quickly apologized and said, "Your Majesty, please forgive me. I was rude to a humble minister."

"Present it." Old Zhu regained his composure.

He quickly stepped forward and presented the good news.

"Predict the enemy first, attack the enemy unprepared, and then seize his mind and shock his soul... good!"

When Lao Zhu saw it, he looked up to the sky and laughed, clapped his hands and applauded: "As expected of our Lao Zhu's grandson, this battle was well fought!"

All civil and military officials looked at each other in blank dismay.

Has Songjiang Fucheng really been recovered?
next moment.

But he saw the smile on Lao Zhu's face suddenly fade, and he stared at the kneeling Jin Yiwei below and said: "Did you collude with the Japanese pirates and send false military reports to the court? Let's get real!"

He slammed the good news in his hand on the ground, and his murderous intent suddenly arose.

The Jin Yiwei who delivered the letter was stunned for a moment.

He was also bewildered.

This Jin Yiwei who came to report his victory was the one who was stopped by Lan Yu.

Now he has come to the capital again to report his victory to His Majesty.

It was more than 21 miles from Songjiang Fucheng to Jinling. In order to quickly deliver the good news to Beijing, he changed [-] horses at the inn along the way, but he never rested for a moment.

After running into the capital, he entered the palace without stopping.

This kind of rewarding errand, but ordinary people can't grab it.

Originally full of thoughts, His Majesty must be very happy after reading the good news, and reward him heavily.

Unexpectedly, His Majesty also suspected that it was not true.

Looking at the civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty above, all of them have questioning eyes.

The Jin Yiwei who delivered the letter was really on the verge of tears.

It's obviously true, why don't you believe it?
"Your Majesty, my whole family, young and old, is in Jinling City. No matter how brave I am, I don't dare to collude with the Japanese pirates and deceive Your Majesty!"

Jin Yiwei, who delivered the letter, tried his best to explain, but he was confused and couldn't explain clearly.

Mainly because no one believes it!
at this time.

There was another burst of shouting in the distance.

"Great victory on the front line!"

"Great victory on the front line!"

……

They were outside the palace at this time. Although there was still some distance from the palace gate outside, the man's voice was loud and the wind was favorable. The voice spread very far, directly into the ears of Lao Zhu and all the civil and military officials.

what's the situation?
Lao Zhu was startled.

Soon, the messenger entered the palace.

"A great victory on the front line. His Highness Taisun led the new army out to sea by boat, directly attacked the Japanese pirates' stronghold on the sea, and burned their lair. All the Japanese pirates were either burned to death by the fire, or buried in the belly of the sea. It troubles me in the Ming Dynasty. The Japanese invasion of Southeast Asia that had lasted for decades was finally eliminated!"

When the words fell, he submitted the victory report.

in the field.

Eerily quiet.

Everyone stared blankly at the messenger.

unbelievable.

No one could believe it.

is that true?

The founding of the Ming Dynasty was not long, and many ministers present had experienced many wars.

The Japanese rebellion in Songjiang Prefecture was actually not a big war for the Ming Dynasty.

However, because it happened on the southeast coast, it was very close to the capital.

After the Japanese pirates landed, they threatened the Suzhou and Hangzhou areas, which were important tax towns for the imperial court, so they paid so much attention to it.

The War of Ping Japanese was also not a big war.

Everyone knows that as soon as the imperial army arrives, the Japanese pirates can be driven away.

The Japanese pirates themselves did not have the strength to confront Daming's regular army head-on.

Even if Zhang Shicheng's old department, private salt dealers and other rebels are added, that won't work.

Back then, Zhang Shicheng was so powerful that he was defeated by Lao Zhu.

What's more, today's Ming Dynasty has unified all nine states, and its national power has increased tenfold compared to before.

However, the remaining power of Zhang Shicheng's old department was less than one-tenth of Zhang Shicheng's back then.

Comparing the two, the gap is hundreds of times different.

As soon as the Ming army arrived, it was easy to suppress them and turn back.

But the problem is, the army hasn’t arrived yet!

Still on the way!

With just a few hundred new troops from His Highness Taisun, the rebellion of tens of thousands of Japanese pirates and rebels was put down?

Even the Japanese pirates' lair was burned?
You know, the most troublesome thing about Japanese pirates is that they rely on the power of the sea to advance and retreat freely.

When the army arrived, they fled to sea.

Even though the imperial court gathered an army of [-] people for the expedition this time, with strong troops and the intention to establish power, no one thought that this expedition could successfully find the Japanese pirates' lair and destroy it.

To regain the lost ground, it is enough to drive the Japanese pirates into the sea.

But the emperor's grandson actually burned down the Japanese pirates' lair?

"Your Majesty, this matter must be false!" A minister stepped forward and said, "His Royal Highness only brought five hundred new troops and five hundred brocade guards. How could it be possible to recover Songjiang City and destroy the Japanese pirates' lair?"

"I also think that this must be a plan set by the Japanese pirates." Another minister followed suit.

Other ministers also spoke one after another.

"The Japanese pirates are deceiving the court by confusing the truth with falsehoods. Your Majesty cannot believe it."

"It's a pity that the story they made up is too bizarre. How can people not doubt it?"

"The Japanese pirates are all civil and military officials of the Ming Dynasty, are they all three-year-old children? Will they be deceived by them?"

……

The ministers spoke one after another, but no one believed it.

It is not difficult to defeat the Japanese pirates.

But the premise is to wait until all the troops arrive!

The five hundred new troops led by His Highness Taisun are all mortals, and they are not heavenly soldiers and generals. How could they wipe out all the Japanese pirates like this?

There are tens of thousands of horses on the other side!
Not to mention, this battle was fought too fast, right?
According to the normal speed, the battle should be over before walking there?

How can you believe it?

How dare you believe it?

Even more worried ministers said: "The Japanese pirates have been deceiving Your Majesty by sending out good news one after another in the name of Lan Yu, Duke of Liang and His Highness the Grand Sun. Could it be that the war ahead has changed, and both Lan Yu and the Grand Sun of Liang have fallen into the trap?" Was it at the hands of Japanese pirates?"

As soon as these words came out, all the ministers felt a little nervous.

Did the front line suffer a disastrous defeat?
Zhu Yuanzhang's face darkened, his eyes turned slightly, and he asked, "Feng Sheng, Fu Youde, what do you two think about this matter?"

At this time, Lao Zhu's heart became tense.

What happened?
There shouldn't be any accidents, right?

He was worried, even calling Feng Sheng, Fu Youde called him by his name directly.

Among the ministers present in the court, these two have the richest military experience, so I asked them.

Feng Sheng thought for a moment, and said: "This matter is really strange. Together with the person who sent the good news yesterday, it is already a third person who sent the good news. Moreover, the customs seals are all correct, and there is no trace of forgery when you can read the handwriting. I think , this matter must be investigated carefully.”

Fu Youde said: "I believe that Your Majesty should not be trusted. For the time being, all troops are still strictly ordered to speed up and rush to Songjiang. At the same time, they sent urgent mail to Suzhou, Jiaxing, Huzhou and other places to inquire about the situation and find out what happened."

Old Zhu nodded slightly.

It had no choice but to be like this.

No matter what, let’s find out the situation first.

at this time.

The envoy came over in a hurry.

"Your Majesty, today I received dozens of urgent messages from the military, all of which were presented by the generals in charge of the Songjiang Mansion. They said that they had received an urgent message from Lan Yu, the Duke of Liang, and that the Japanese pirates in Songjiang were over. Lead the army to go, and immediately move the division back to the court."

"After receiving the urgent delivery, these generals did not dare to make their own claims. They all sent urgent military reports to inquire about the situation and verify the authenticity of the report."

As the Tongzheng envoy spoke, he held up a thick stack of memorials in his hand, and lowered his head to present it.

"What?" Lao Zhu's face suddenly changed.

The civil and military officials at the rear were all stunned with shock.

If there is a person who joins the Japanese pirates, passes on false military information, and deceives the court, that makes sense.

But all the soldiers and horses received the urgent message from Lan Yu, so it couldn't be Japanese pirates!
Could it be... could it be... could the good news be true?
It’s not that the Japanese pirates are making false claims, and no one is deceiving the court or His Majesty?

Is everything true?
Huang Zicheng stood there stunned, completely numb.

He couldn't accept it at all.

"Your Majesty, Liu Hanmo, the prefect of Suzhou, has sent an urgent report, saying that he has received accurate information that Songjiang City has been recovered by His Highness Taisun."

"Qizou Your Majesty, Zhu Zhenghe, Commander of the Zhejiang Province, sent an urgent report, saying that His Highness Taisun has recovered Songjiang Fucheng and put down the Japanese pirates' rebellion."

Two more officials from the General Affairs Department presented the two urgent letters that had just been sent.

All the officials were shocked and speechless.

Feng Sheng and Fu Youde looked at each other, and they saw the astonishment in each other's eyes.

I just suggested asking officials from Suzhou and other places, but unexpectedly, the memorial has already been sent.

Lao Zhu was also stunned. He waved his hand and motioned for them to submit all the memorials.

With trembling hands, he opened the pages one by one.

Good news, invitations from various generals, urgent reports from local officials...

Different information channels all point to the same answer.

Songjiang Fucheng has really been recovered, and the Japanese pirate rebellion has been put down!
At this point, there are no more doubts.

The civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty finally came to their senses.

"I congratulate Your Majesty, Your Majesty, for quelling the Japanese pirate rebellion. The Japanese invasion that has lasted for hundreds of years has been quelled in one day, all thanks to Your Majesty's great blessing!"

"Congratulations, Your Majesty, His Majesty."

"Congratulations, Your Majesty, His Majesty."

Sounds of congratulations resounded throughout the palace.

"Hahaha!"

Old Zhu looked up to the sky and laughed loudly: "Pass the decree, we will worship the sky and ancestors."
