Chapter 536: The Zhu Family Father and Son Are Ready to Make a Move

"Sea Station?"

"Hiss... this statement is quite powerful!"

Zhu Biao pondered for a moment and thought about this plan from Master Hu.

The more I thought about it, the more I felt that this plan seemed to be particularly useful.

"Dad, does Mr. Hu have anything else to say?"

"Think about it carefully. Let's think about it together."

"We can't trouble Mr. Hu for everything, that would make us seem incompetent!"

Anyway, by now the others had already been driven out by them father and son, so Zhu Biao spoke particularly impolitely.

The way they talk is actually no different from that of ordinary people.

Zhu Yuanzhang didn't care about this, and he even preferred to speak this way.

It’s just that on weekdays, both father and son have to pay attention to their status.

"Well, let's think about it!"

"By the way, I was actually about the same as you at that time. I also asked about this colony."

"At that time, we wanted to know, what is the purpose of this colony?"

"Then Weiyong gave us a simple explanation."

"Well, let's think about it!"

Zhu Yuanzhang frowned and thought hard about the situation at that time, and then spoke slowly.

"Yeah, I remember now, yes, yes, I remember now!"

Zhu Yuanzhang patted his head excitedly, then looked at his fat son and said loudly.

"Weiyong's arrangement is very simple, that is, our dynasty will send soldiers to the sea on ships."

"Once you are there, choose a place with a good port, suitable climate, convenient transportation, and a thriving population!"

"Ask the other party first, and then hit them if they don't give it to you!"

At this point, a sly smile appeared on Zhu Yuanzhang's face.

"Weiyong had a statement at the time, which I think is particularly good."

"He said that a general from the Ming Dynasty brought a large army to your country and asked for a piece of land for trade. How could you disagree?"

"That means you are not giving face to the Ming Dynasty!"

"You don't even give face to the Ming Dynasty. How can the generals and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty still watch?"

"Shouldn't this teach them a lesson?"

"At that time, not only can we take the land, but we will also have to ask them to pay for the money and manpower to build the city."

"After all, the small foreign countries fear power but not virtue. If we don't teach them a lesson, won't they rebel again in the future?"

When Zhu Yuanzhang said this, the smiles on the faces of the father and son were exactly the same.

Yeah!
That's it!

Mr. Hu is worthy of having served as the Prime Minister of our Ming Dynasty.

Look at this arrangement, it is reasonable, polite and decent.

This is very consistent with the style and status of the Ming Dynasty!
very good!

After Zhu Yuanzhang joked with his son for a while, he turned the conversation back to the original topic.

"Once we get this piece of land, it will become the territory of our Ming Dynasty!"

"This place should follow the laws of the Ming Dynasty. We should station troops, send officials, and settle immigrants!"

"Of course, if the people of that small foreign country yearn for the splendor of our Great Ming and insist on entering the city, that's fine." "But once they enter the city-state of our Great Ming, they will naturally have to abide by the laws of our Great Ming, otherwise they will die without knowing how they died!"

Hu Weiyong's words were spoken with confidence, and Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao also felt that it was natural.

That's the way to do it!

My Ming Dynasty didn't destroy your little foreign country, so you should be grateful. What's the problem with asking you to abide by the rules?

"Colony means the place where our Ming Dynasty cultivates and immigrates to!"

"As long as there are more places like this, then in the future our Ming fleet will be able to sail freely on this sea!"

"Weiyong's method is very good!"

Zhu Biao also nodded without hesitation.

For Zhu Biao, this method with "packaging" and grand momentum was most to his liking.

In his opinion, this is how the Ming Dynasty should be.

As for "kindness"?
Well, he is the prince of the Ming Dynasty, not a prince of a foreign country. Why does he want to think about those things?
Afterwards, Zhu Biao and Lao Zhu discussed the candidates for the expedition!
That's right, the father and son immediately started thinking about the candidate for the expedition commander.

In their view, this expedition was a good thing that would bring them credit.

The military virtue of the Ming Dynasty is now at its peak. Facing these small foreign countries, wouldn't it be a matter of defeating them in one fell swoop?
Then it is very important to choose a suitable head coach.

After much deliberation, the father and son finally chose Lan Yu, Fu Youde and Li Jinglong.

The three of them will each lead a group of troops to occupy a piece of "enclave" in a country!
To Zhu Yuanzhang and his son, these three people are all very important.

Lan Yu was Zhu Biao's brother-in-law, Fu Youde had some sailing experience, and Li Jinglong's father, Li Wenzhong, Duke of Cao, was also a founding hero who was adopted as a son by Zhu Yuanzhang.

It can be said that apart from Fu Youde, the mature and steady "backup", Lan Yu and Li Jinglong were actually trained for Zhu Biao.

They all belong to the second generation of generals of the Ming Dynasty.

Now that he has this suitable opportunity, Old Zhu will naturally seize the opportunity to train his fat son well.

After selecting the general to lead the army, Zhu sent someone to invite Master Hu.

After all, it is Mr. Hu who has to give the advice.

At least, it is still up to Master Hu to decide where is suitable to be a colony and how to make the early arrangements.

The person who ran errands was, as expected, Song Li.

When they arrived at the Hu Mansion, they found Master Hu with ease and told him the plan. Master Hu agreed very readily.

He was even pleased.

After all, Master Hu thought that he had done a great deed by persuading Zhu, a stubborn man who believed in isolation, to vigorously develop maritime trade and take the initiative to occupy colonies.

So, the excited Master Hu chatted with Song Li about the arrangements for the expedition while sitting in the carriage towards the palace.

Song Li is on Master Hu's side, so naturally there is nothing to hide.

After all, Master Hu will know all these things soon.

He simply told Zhu Yuanzhang and his father all the candidates for the head coach that they had just decided on.

But Mr. Hu originally had a smile on his face, but as he listened, the smile disappeared and his brows furrowed.

Damn, what is Lao Zhu thinking?
These people don’t seem to be that good!

Not to mention Lan Yu, he was a reckless man and a troublemaker. No one knew what he could do when he got hot-headed.

As for Li Jinglong, his reputation was even greater. He was the first-class war god of the Ming Dynasty, and he was as outstanding as the Crouching Dragon and the Phoenix Chick together with Ming Baozong.

Even Li Jinglong proved across a thousand years that "talking about war on paper" was not just a skill possessed by Zhao Kuo alone, he also had this skill!

Among the three, it can be said that Fu Youde is the only one who is truly reliable.

But Fu Youde is not the chief commander among the three. The three of them lead their own troops.

I’m afraid this is going to be a big problem!
