If I fail to overcome the tribulation, I can only return to the Ming Dynasty and become a prince.

Chapter 177
"Second nephew, third uncle is here to see you!" Zhao Wang Zhu Gaosui walked into the hot spring villa where Zhu Zhanquan had been living with a smile on his face, followed by a row of guards carrying boxes.

After entering the hot spring villa, Zhu Gaosui didn't even wait for Zhu Zhankun to greet him. He calmly found a chair and sat down. Then he smiled and said: "You are so smart! This place you picked is really good! It's not like the other two of mine." Broken Island, it’s almost snowing now!
It seems that Uncle San will have to come to you, Maodong, in the future. This is so comfortable!I heard there are hot springs?I have to let your third uncle and I take a good soak in this. I have been crawling on the ice and sleeping in the snow these days. Your third uncle and I have suffered a lot in my body! "

While sitting down, Zhu Gaosui also asked the guards to place all the boxes they brought on the open space in the other courtyard. Then all the guards retreated, leaving only a Japanese-style sedan in place.

Zhu Zhanjuan was able to interject at this moment and smiled at Zhu Gaosui: "If third uncle likes it, he can build a separate courtyard here for me. If he wants to soak in the hot spring, he can come here. If the stay is comfortable, we uncle and nephew can It’s not impossible to change the fiefdom! Third uncle, my nephew, I’m very greedy for those two islands!”

While talking, Zhu Zhanjun also sat down on the chair next to Zhu Gaosui.

This annex was originally decorated in the Japanese style, and the furniture and other items were all imported from the Japanese country. Zhu Zhanquan was not used to it, so he asked people to replace everything here. Many of the furniture was shipped from the Daming Sea.

Although it was very expensive, the Japanese country did not have suitable furniture, and it was too late to make it now, so Zhu Zhanquan could only live in luxury.

Hearing what Zhu Zhanju said, Zhu Gaosui quickly shook his head and said: "A gentleman does not take away what others like. How can I, as an uncle, take away your second nephew's place? Besides, this place was agreed upon in the first place. I If it were changed, King Ning and King Liao would definitely have their opinions, and when the fight breaks out, everyone would look bad."

Of course Zhu Gaosui was telling the truth, but Zhu Zhanjuan could tell at a glance that his third uncle must have other thoughts.

As for what thoughts he was hiding, it was actually not difficult to guess. Zhu Zhanqi only had to briefly recall where the land Zhu Gaosui obtained was, and he would be able to figure out why his third uncle was unwilling to change places.

After all, that is Sado Kaneyama!

So Zhu Zhanjun didn't say anything, and just asked Zhu Gaosui: "Why is Third Uncle free to come to my place? Is the war on Honshu Island over?"

Although Zhu Zhanqun was on Jiuzhou Island during this period, focusing on building his own fiefdom, the other vassal kings did not stop their attacks.

Whether it was King Ning who attacked Iwami Ginzan or the Three Kings of Liaodong who attacked Kobe, Ise and Kamakura, they did not stop their attacks.

According to Zhu Zhanjun's estimation, plus Zhu Gaosui's route that penetrated straight down from the northern continent and landed on the other side of the Japanese country, the attack of the five-pronged army was impossible for the Japanese country to resist in any case.

A few months would be enough time for their five-pronged army to conquer the Japanese country.

However, Zhu Gaosui shook his head and said: "Although the five armies are progressing smoothly, and the battle situation is as you expected, Zhanjun. The Japanese can't look at each other from head to tail. They are too tired to cope and unable to withstand the army's conquest. However, since the beginning of winter, the heavy snowfall has The mountain closure seriously affected the progress of the army.

So far, according to your previous plan, you have taken the Kyushu region yourself, and King Ning has captured most of the Chinese region. Your two groups are making the smoothest progress.

The King of Liao had conquered the four kingdoms, and was attacking Kinki of the Japanese Kingdom with the King of Han. However, this was the capital of the Japanese Kingdom, and the Japanese had gathered heavy troops. They were fighting very hard and their progress had been slow.However, King Shen has made good progress and has basically captured the Kanto area of ​​the Japanese state. However, the local Japanese resistance is fierce.

So far, there are still many Japanese remnants hiding in the countryside. Whenever King Shen's army leaves the city, they will carry out sneak attacks, which makes him very annoyed.

Therefore, although the overall situation on Honshu Island has been decided, it is not yet time to celebrate. "

Listening to Zhu Gaosui's introduction to the war situation of the Japanese country, Zhu Zhanquan acted very indifferently and smiled casually: "I thought the Japanese country could cause some troubles! The left and right sides were just stubbornly resisting."

"Although we are indeed resisting stubbornly, we must be careful!" Although he said to be careful, Zhu Gaosui did not show how serious he said: "In the final analysis, we are just going on an expedition. If this war drags on for a long time, it will be very difficult for us. Adverse."

"That's what Third Uncle taught you." Seeing this, Zhu Zhanjuan casually agreed with Zhu Gaosui.

Zhu Gaosui didn't care about this. The two uncles and nephews chatted some more. Zhu Gaosui then said to Zhu Zhanyu: "Thanks to your second nephew, your third uncle and I have found gold mines in Sado Island and Hokkaido. Although there is currently a lack of In terms of manpower, the gold mining was not going smoothly, but my third uncle still collected 3000 taels of gold and 10 taels of silver and brought them over for you."

As Zhu Gaosui said that, he stood up and walked to the boxes. He casually opened one of the boxes and saw that it was full of neatly cast silver ingots.

Zuo Changshi had already seen such a scene once before when he sent the output of Linggao Gold Mine to Zhu Zhanqun. Seeing the same scene again now, the impact was undoubtedly much lower.

However, 10 taels of silver and 3000 taels of gold are not a small amount, and they are impressive enough when placed in front of you.

At least Zhu Zhanjun heard Hu Shanxiang, who was waiting next to him, make a sound of inhaling. It was obvious that the little girl was not calm enough and was distracted by so much gold and silver.

Zhu Zhanjuan didn't care, and just asked Zhu Gaosui: "Third uncle, how much gold and silver do you have now? The two gold mines should be able to dig out 10 taels of silver every month, right?"

"No, no, two mines a month can produce about 8 to 20 taels of silver now, and it's freezing cold and the rivers are frozen, so there's no way to do gold mining, so the output is actually not high." Zhu Gaosui Not knowing what Zhu Zhanqun was going to do, he quickly shook his head and denied the number Zhu Zhanqun had estimated. But at the same time, he also asked curiously: "What? Zhanjuan, do you want to use silver? I dare not say more, Third Uncle." Let me put it together for you, including what I brought here today, [-] taels should be no problem."

"20 taels? Then uncle, you can collect some more. Counting my almost 20 taels of silver and 3000 taels of gold, let's collect 50 taels of silver and 1 taels of gold, and we can go back to Nanjing before the New Year. ." Zhu Zhanyu nodded slightly, and then said his plan.

Hearing what Zhu Zhanjun said, although Zhu Gaosui didn't quite understand what Zhu Zhankun was going to do, Zhu Gaosui, who had already reaped benefits from the Japanese expedition, was still willing to listen to Zhu Zhankun again.

So he nodded and said: "The money is easy to talk about, but Zhanjuan, what do you want to do with so much money?"
