Daming: My boss Zhu Yuanzhang

Although the emperor of Japan was just a decoration, the various official titles conferred by him were quite useful. For a period of time, the royal family lived by selling official titles.

After the news spread that the Persian righteous generals and Tianshan Manjia were granted the title of generals in the east and west, the famous names from all over the world sent people to ask for the title.

Li Wei was also very generous. As long as he was willing to participate in the crusade against Ashikaga Yoshimitsu, he would give them an official position.

Hosokawa Yoriyuki, who was opposed to the Persian general, couldn't help but be shaken when he saw this scene.

Although he is a veteran of the Ashikaga clan, the current situation has changed. The Ming army has broken the political ecology of Japan, and the Ashikaga clan has become rebellious. He can't help but have some other thoughts.

At the call of the "Emperor", the Persian generals joined forces with many daimyo and gathered more than 100,000 people to attack Ashikaga Yoshimitsu who had fled back to Kamakura. Although Hosokawa Yoriyuki did not participate, he temporarily suspended the war with the Persian generals and formed an alliance. Watching from the wall, Li Wei sat leisurely in Yoshino waiting for the outcome of their chaotic battle.

At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang's imperial edict also arrived.

The officials responsible for delivering the decree were still officials from the Xingren Division. Li Wei led the generals to receive the decree respectfully, and the Japanese such as Xuren and Changqing also knelt down and listened to the holy teachings.

Zhu Yuanzhang's main purpose was to urge Li Wei to return to his army as soon as possible, and at the same time bring back all the Japanese royal family.

Now that the Japanese capital is gone, there is no point in continuing the war. The more important thing is to enthrone the Japanese king as soon as possible, stabilize the Japanese country and stop the Japanese troubles.

Li Wei couldn't help but frown after receiving the order.

Originally, he wanted to take it slow and wait until these daimyo were tired before reaping the benefits, but it seemed that this was no longer possible. He had to deal with Ashikaga Yoshimitsu as soon as possible, stabilize these daimyo, and start executing the plan to hollow out Japan.

After receiving the order to express his gratitude, Li Wei took action and took all the Japanese kings from the north and south together, boarded the ship that had circled to the east, and set out for Kamakura.

Kamakura is located on the coast of Kantō. Kantō is the largest plain area in Japan. The former Kamakura shogunate flourished here. The later Tokyo of Japan, which is today's Edo, is also not far to the north.

Although the Persian righteous generals and others had many soldiers and horses, the Ashikaga clan was not a vegetarian. The two sides fought back and forth and were inseparable. Ashikaga Yoshimitsu firmly guarded Kamakura.

But the arrival of the Ming Navy navy broke the battle situation. When Ashikaga Yoshimitsu saw the Ming Army's largest ship, he knew it was going to be over!
When the ship docked, Li Wei ordered several rounds of artillery fire on Kamakura, which was close at hand. Then the Ashikaga clan was defeated and was quickly defeated by the coalition forces of the Persian generals and others.

But Ashikaga Yoshimitsu ran away anyway, running very swiftly and without hesitation.

Li Wei was a little disappointed that he failed to kill this guy, but now that he is a lost dog, it may be difficult to make a comeback.

The Persian righteous generals and others led their troops in hot pursuit, vowing to take Ashikaga Yoshimitsu's head in exchange for the shogunate, but Li Wei paid no attention to them.

After the war, Li Wei led people to inspect the nearby coast. This is the entrance to Tokyo Bay. Not far from the peninsula is the later-famous Yokosuka, the largest military port stationed by the Americans in Japan. Further inside, there are also Many excellent seaports are the best places for sea trade or garrisoning.

"I will leave you 10,000 soldiers and horses. You will be stationed here temporarily and build the dock. As for the fight between the Japanese, don't worry about it for now."

Li Wei chose the best place and gave instructions to Lu Tang.

"Yes, sir, don't worry!"

Lu Tang bowed his hands and accepted.

Li Wei nodded lightly.

Although the war has come to an end for the time being, they still have a lot to do. The money has not yet been mined, and the slave trade must be started quickly.

The members of the Japanese pirates are very complicated, but in the final analysis, they are all causing trouble because they live a difficult life and no one cares about them. Instead of doing this, it is better to take them all into your hands, and even if you are a slave, you can still feed them, so you don't have to work hard every day.

It doesn't matter whether these Japanese are willing or not. Nowadays, with so many famous people fighting in a melee, they will definitely need a lot of weapons and equipment. The Ming Dynasty can provide them. Of course, they only sell cold weapons.

Even if it is a cold weapon, Ming's equipment is much better than their own. Of course, these things require money to buy. What should I do if I don't have money? Of course, prisoners of war were sold as slaves.

When these slaves are obtained, they can be organized to dig for money, or they can be recruited as slave soldiers. Anyway, there are many places where they can be used.

After making arrangements for Lu Tang, Li Wei led the rest of the army and set off back to Beijing.

Except for some left for Lu Tang, all the hundreds of ships set sail on their way home.

It was early summer when they arrived and it was already late autumn when they returned. After nearly ten days of sailing, the army finally entered the Yangtze River and returned to the Ming Dynasty.

At the Longjiang Port, Zhu Yuanzhang led his ministers to personally welcome him. This was a treatment only available to the founding fathers of Xu Dana's level. Li Wei's victory this time also qualified him for this.

The huge ironclad ship docked at the shore. Li Wei led Hu Hai, Guo Ying and other generals to disembark and pay homage to Zhu Yuanzhang.

"See Your Majesty!"

All the generals saluted in unison.

"Haha, okay, the generals have lived up to their expectations. After returning home with a great victory, we will definitely be richly rewarded!"

Zhu Yuanzhang said with a smile on his face.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Li Wei and others quickly thanked him.

After greetings, Li Weicai ordered people to bring up all the Japanese royal family behind him, and introduced to Zhu Yuanzhang: "Your Majesty, these are the Japanese royal family."

Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at these people following his introduction and frowned slightly.

Without him, he looks too ugly.

"The little king of Japan pays homage to His Majesty the Ming Emperor!"

Xuren, Changqing and others bowed down one after another, with respectful attitude and thorough etiquette.

Zhu Yuanzhang put away his disgusted expression and nodded lightly: "I heard that the Japanese king's family was coerced by traitors and the Japanese pirates happened. I don't blame you. But after you are granted the title, you must cooperate with me, the Ming Dynasty, to control the Japanese invaders. Don't be like before. That's it!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness! We will do our best to control the Japanese invasion!"

Both Xu Ren and Xu Ren tried their best to express their loyalty.

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded lightly.

In fact, he was just saying some superficial words. Now that the Ming army has controlled these Japanese royal families and has troops stationed in the Japanese country, they cannot tolerate their disobedience.

After giving some instruction to the Japanese royal family, Zhu Yuanzhang led everyone back to the palace.

As the protagonist and great hero this time, Li Wei naturally went with Zhu Yuanzhang, and all the officials followed him.

However, inadvertently, he unexpectedly discovered someone in the crowd whom he had not seen for a long time - Lan Yu!
"Is this guy back again?" The moment he caught a glimpse of Lan Yu, Li Wei frowned.

He hadn't seen this guy for a long time after he was kicked out of Beijing, but he didn't expect to see him again on this special day.

Lan Yu followed the crowd and couldn't help but look a little lonely as she looked at the glorious Li Wei.

I think that this treacherous and fawning minister who was nothing at first has now reached the level of a very human minister. Especially after this conquest of Japan, his status has surpassed ordinary nobles like them. Only Xu Da, Li Shanchang and his like can do it. Suppress it by one point.

Li Wei glanced at him, then calmly withdrew his gaze, followed Zhu Yuanzhang half a step behind, and walked towards the palace.

In the Fengtian Palace, Zhu Yuanzhang formally issued a decree to confer rewards. Not surprisingly, Li Wei was granted the title of Duke of Jin, with the title of Duke of Han. However, the rewards given by others were somewhat unexpected.

As deputy generals, Hu Hai and Guo Ying both received generous rewards, which was quite reasonable.

However, Lu Tang, Shi Jun and others under Li Wei's command have made great contributions, but they have only been promoted to the governor's office. Although they have been promoted several levels in a row, compared with such great military achievements, The words were a little too light. On the contrary, those of Sheng Yong who did not have much meritorious service were awarded very generous rewards. Especially Sheng Yong, a veteran who had been in the army for many years, was directly granted the title of Marquis.

Of course, a veteran like him had already accumulated a lot of military exploits, and it was understandable that he was granted the title of Marquis after this battle, but when comparing the two sides, it seemed a bit unusual.

Li Wei's heart sank, and he was vaguely aware of Zhu Yuanzhang's intentions.

Although the things Lu Tang and Chen Su did were secret, it would be impossible to say that Zhu Yuanzhang knew nothing about them. Zhu Yuanzhang's move was obviously to beat them.

After the imperial edict was recited, the generals thanked him, and Li Wei didn't say much. He understood that it was not appropriate to say more about this matter, so as not to backfire.

After the dynasty was over, Li Wei returned the general's seal and went home to look after his children.

I haven't seen him for half a year, and I don't know how old little Keqin is.

At the Prince Consort's Mansion, An Qing and Xiao Qing led the crowd to welcome him, and Li Wei walked forward with a smile on his face.

Xiaoqing is still so young and pretty, but Anqing is a mother for the first time, but she still exudes a hint of maturity at such a young age. The temperament of a girl and a young woman blend together, and Li Wei can't help but swallow his saliva quietly.

"I've met the master!"

A group of Yanyan Yingying stood up to salute, and Abu also led his servants to escort them to greet them respectfully. Li Wei casually raised his head and excused himself, then walked up to Xiaoqing and Anqing and pulled them into the house together.

Although the servants in the house already knew about the relationship between the master and Xiao Qing, they could not help but be slightly surprised when they saw him holding Xiao Qing and the princess together in his hands.

But now that Li Wei had a distinguished status, they did not dare to say anything, and they all lowered their heads and pretended not to notice.

When everyone entered the house, Li Wei also saw little Keqin being held by the nanny.

This little guy is growing very fast. I haven’t seen him for half a year, and he is already quite a bit bigger now. Li Wei tried to hug him, and he estimated that he weighs almost twenty kilograms.

It's just that this little guy who used to be very kind to him now cries loudly when he hugs him, and he is obviously a little resigned to it.

An Qing gave him an angry look and quickly took the child over to comfort him.

It's been half a year since he left. This little kid who doesn't remember anything has naturally forgotten about him. But fortunately, he's still young now, and he will get better after spending more time with him.

Li Wei looked at his son and couldn't help but feel a little guilty. He secretly made up his mind to spend more time with him in the future!

That night, after dinner, Li Wei hurriedly pulled An Qing into the room.

After a while, the room was full of clouds and heavy rain, and the two people's voices were sometimes high-pitched and high-pitched, sometimes low and gentle, expressing their long-awaited lovesickness.

After all, Anqing was young and recovered quickly after giving birth. In just over half a year, she was no different from the girl she once was. Li Wei knew this well.

Li Wei often spends half a year recuperating and has saved a large amount of savings, and he is not stingy in spending.

In the first half of the night, he and An Qing talked about missing each other. After An Qing fell asleep, he moved the battlefield and went to Xiao Qing's place to review the past idioms.

As the saying goes, the firewood I was born with will be useful, and I will come back again after all my essence has been dispersed.

After a night of hard work, Li Wei finally spent all his savings in the past six months and fell asleep with satisfaction.

At the same time, little Keqin, who was taken away by his wet nurse, had trouble sleeping that night...

……

After resting at home for two days and spending time with his wife and children, Li Wei finally returned to his normal life.

Three days later, in the morning, the ministers gathered outside the Meridian Gate to wait. Li Wei arrived late.

When the officials saw him, they stepped forward to salute one after another. Even the noble generals bowed their heads and remained silent. There was no longer any cynicism, and many even showed respect.

Those who accompanied the army during the Japanese expedition received heavy rewards, and these generals were also very envious, especially those generals who had not been granted the title of marquis. They were even more jealous of Sheng Yong who became a marquis in the first battle.

They believed that their ability was no worse than that of Sheng Yong. If Sheng Yong could accompany Li Wei to conquer the feudal lords, they could naturally do the same, so they couldn't help but have other thoughts about Li Wei.

He didn't reach out to hit the smiling person, and Li Wei didn't put on any airs. He responded to these kind gestures one by one, and everyone became even more enthusiastic when they saw this.

The sound of whips started, the palace doors opened wide, and the ministers began to enter the palace in formation.

Li Wei no longer has a civil service, he only has the status of a duke. According to the rules, he can only stand in the queue of nobles. However, this time he is no longer the prince-consort standing at the end, but the head of the royal family. One of the public.

Li Wei waited patiently for all the distinguished officials to finish their shifts, and then slowly walked over.

The four princes-in-law standing behind, Mei Yin and Lu Xian, were both sons of noble families. They turned their heads away and pretended not to see him when he passed by.

Wang Ning and Li Jian, two ordinary consorts, had to give him face and bow respectfully.

Wang Ning was just an ordinary military general, and he was promoted to the governor's office after becoming the consort. Li Jian, whose father fought in Yunnan, had some connection with Li Wei. Li Wei saw the two saluting and responded with a smile.

After dealing with the two of them, Li Wei quickly walked towards his target.

"Hey, you guys, stand back a little!"

When he came to Lan Yu, Huang Bin and others, Li Wei looked impatient and waved his hands as if to shoo away flies.

Lan Yu and the others, who had been standing well, suddenly became pale after hearing this.

"What? Are you not convinced?" Li Wei glared and said displeased.

He waited for everyone to stand up before coming over, just to embarrass them.

"Humph!"

"What's so arrogant?"

"Isn't it just a victory? Who hasn't?"

"that is!"

Several people had dark faces, muttering angrily, and took two steps back to make way for him.

There is no way, they are the Duke of the country, and they have to give in no matter how much they refuse to obey.

"cut!"

Li Wei glanced at them disdainfully, then stood still behind Fu Youde.

Li Shanchang was on the civil servants' side, and Wu Xun was on the other side with only three princes, Fu Youde, Tang and Feng Sheng, and no one else.

Fu Youde looked back at him and wanted to give him some advice.

Li Wei smiled gently at him, and he nodded slightly, and then turned around.

After much thought, he still did not get involved in these grudges. (End of chapter)
