Daming: I am the most powerful emperor grandson, please abdicate the throne

Chapter 112 Japanese pirates attack
  "Uncle Twenty."

"The fourth uncle is here anyway."

Zhu Xuan came to the arsenal and saw that the person testing the gun was actually Zhu Di.

Zhu Song was also on the side, instructing how to test the gun. Hearing this, he smiled and said: "Fourth brother heard about our factory and wanted to come and try the gun."

Zhu Di put down his rifle and laughed and said: "Xiao Yunxuan, these guns of yours are too powerful. If our soldiers in the north can also have rifles, it will be easy to destroy the remnants of Beiyuan."

When Zhu Di heard Xu Huizu talking about these guns yesterday, he didn't quite believe it. Today he asked Zhu Song to take him to take a look and found that they were even more powerful than he imagined.

This little nephew brought him too many surprises.

"When there are more guns in the future, I will send some more to Fourth Uncle."

Zhu Xuan said: "Fourth uncle can help our Ming Dynasty and defeat all enemies."

Zhu Di nodded and said: "That's right!"

"Fourth brother, there are many special things in our factory. I will show you around."

Zhu Song was still waiting to show off the success of their research.

Zhu Xuan didn't think there was anything wrong with revealing the research results to Zhu Di. After Zheng Ci came to see it, he had already spread everything here, so it was no longer a secret.

Zhu Xuan called Hou Xian over and asked him to explain the things in the factory to his fourth uncle. They didn't go back until noon.

Zhu Di invited them to visit Prince Yan's Mansion and had lunch before leaving.

Zhu Xuan asked Hou Xian to take Zheng He with him and continue working in the factory.

When returning to the palace, it is enough to have Yan Guan with you.

Returning to the palace, we first went to Jinshen Hall.

"Grandpa Huang, why are you angry?"

As soon as Zhu Xuan entered the door, he saw Zhu Yuanzhang's angry look and said softly: "Who made Grandpa Huang angry again? My grandson asked Yan Guan to beat them."

Zhu Yuanzhang's expression softened and he said with a smile: "We are not angry. When we see our good grandson come back, we will lose all our anger."

Zhu Xuan didn't believe it.

Seeing Lao Zhu's expression, his anger had not subsided, and he asked: "Are there some more memorials that make Grandpa Huang very angry? I wonder if my grandson can help Grandpa Huang share his worries."

"Perhaps my dear grandson can do it!"

Zhu Yuanzhang said hesitantly: "Do you still remember those Japanese people last year?"

"My grandson remembers."

"We asked Jiang Wei to kill all the Japanese. The Japanese could not wait for those Japanese to go back. They guessed that I had killed them, so they sent people to test."

Zhu Yuanzhang recounted: "We did not admit that we killed the Japanese, but those Japanese felt that we must have killed them."

"Just some time ago, the Japanese caused chaos at sea. They first attacked Ryukyu, then sent their Japanese soldiers to infiltrate the Japanese pirates. They also gathered a large number of Japanese pirates, landed on the Daming Sea, and robbed the people."

“Officials from various coastal provinces kept writing memorials and came back.”

"We ordered them to send troops to pursue them, but when the Japanese pirates saw us sending troops to kill them, they turned around and ran towards the sea, deep into the sea, and disappeared without a trace."

"We have no navy along the coast of Ming Dynasty and cannot go to sea to fight."

"The soldiers couldn't pursue them out to sea. They just retreated. Those nasty Japanese pirates came to land again. We chased them. The Japanese pirates fled. We retreated. The Japanese pirates came again. Are you angry, my dear?"

At the end of the sentence, Zhu Yuanzhang was so angry that he punched the table.

It made the memorials on the table jump.

Zhu Xuan can understand why Grandpa Huang is so angry. Those Japanese pirates are indeed hateful.

However, the Ming Dynasty's army was indeed helpless against the Japanese pirates. The reason was naturally that there were insufficient naval forces. There were no warships to go to sea, and no one knew how to fight on the water. The sea had been banned for so many years, so the Ming Dynasty navy could still fight a dozen inland river battles.

The Japanese country is just a small island country, but it dares to provoke so arrogantly.

This was a severe slap in the face of their Ming Dynasty. Zhu Yuanzhang definitely couldn't bear it and almost wanted to give an order to go to sea and destroy the island country.

"Grandpa Huang, there is no need to be angry."

Zhu Xuan thought for a while and said: "Grandpa Huang can consider opening the sea to guide the Japanese pirates back and allow the people to go to sea. This can reduce most of the Japanese pirate intrusions. In addition, my grandson has a way to destroy the Japanese country."

"My dear grandson, please tell me!"

Zhu Yuanzhang said quickly.

"My grandson can't do it now. He needs time to prepare."

Zhu Xuan judged the current progress of Hou Xian's research and development, and said: "In Sun'er's factory, a new shipyard has been added recently. As long as Grandpa Huang can give enough support, Sun'er can guarantee that within five years, there will be a new shipyard." Destroy the Japanese country."

After experiencing this incident, I saw the memorial sent back from the coast.

Regarding the sea ban policy, Zhu Yuanzhang became more and more shaken. When he heard Good Sun say this again, he frowned and said: "We still have to discuss with the people below whether we can open the sea, but Good Sun can really do it?"

Zhu Xuan promised: "My grandson can definitely do it, and he can also build a navy for Grandpa Huang that can shock the entire sea. When the time comes, our Ming Dynasty can fight whoever wants to go to sea, and no one is our opponent! However, the funds needed to invest in shipbuilding are relatively small." It’s a lot, but once the ship is built and goes to sea, it can earn the emperor’s grandfather back exponentially.”

Zhu Yuanzhang thought about it for a long time and thought he could give it to Guaisun to give it a try. He said: "In terms of shipbuilding, we will do what Guaisun said, but it is difficult for us to invest too much. The money from the Ming Dynasty treasury still needs to be used." As far as the people are concerned, as long as the obedient grandson opens his mouth, no matter how many iron ore mines and coal mines there are, there will be no problem."

"Thank you, Grandpa Huang, for your support!"

Zhu Xuan was very satisfied with the agreement.

Zhu Yuanzhang had already seen how helpless a Ming Dynasty without maritime troops was when facing enemies from the sea.

Although Japanese pirates did not dare to go deep into the interior, how could the prestige of the Ming Dynasty be preserved by such harassment at the seaside?
  Such harassment is very annoying!

They cannot continue to move coastal people inland.

If we really do this, it will have no national prestige and even encourage the arrogance of Japanese pirates.

A counterattack must be made from the sea.

"As for opening up the sea and abandoning the sea ban..."

Zhu Yuanzhang was still hesitant and didn't want to make a decision right away.

He maintained this idea for many years.

I think those pirates overseas are not good people. If we let the overseas pirates go, the people of Ming Dynasty will still escape, or the pirates will come more fiercely. So what?
  Zhu Xuan understood Grandpa Huang's thoughts. He wanted to open the sea, but he couldn't let go of his thoughts and ideas, and without the support of a powerful enough naval force, he had no confidence.

"Grandpa Huang can wait until his grandson builds the boat and trains the Ming Navy before setting sail."

Zhu Xuan raised his head and said.

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and said: "We are not in a hurry, we have to think about it, but now that the Japanese pirates are causing trouble, there must be a solution."

The coastline of the Ming Dynasty was too long and it was difficult to achieve this, so it deployed troops to garrison it comprehensively.

"My fourth uncle and my grandson told me some of their experiences fighting Bei Yuan."

Zhu Xuan pretended to think for a while and said: "One of the methods that my fourth uncle often uses is to lure the enemy deep, then launch an encirclement and completely annihilate the enemy. Maybe it can be used to deal with Japanese pirates."

"Luring the enemy deeper?"

Zhu Yuanzhang recited these words twice, and felt that they made sense, so he said, "Keep talking, dear grandson."
