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

Chapter 207 There is no one who can fight

Seeing them requesting orders to fight, Zhu Yuanzhang nodded slightly.

This is what the generals of the Ming Dynasty should be like. If enemies dare to invade, just fight them. The Ming Dynasty does not need to be afraid of overseas island countries. Zhu Yuanzhang is also prepared to remove the Japanese country from the list of countries that are not allowed to conquer.

"Do you know anything about naval warfare?"

Zhu Yuanzhang asked again.

Xu Huizu and the others were startled.

The Ming Dynasty has not fought a water battle for a long time, let alone naval battles. Currently, the navy with the best naval battle capabilities is probably Guangdong and Fujian. As for Yingtian, Shandong and other places, there are even fewer warships, and they are basically useless. Go to sea.

However, the best ships of the Ming Dynasty are those from Fujian.

If it were a land war, they would definitely be able to give various strategies and opinions, but when His Majesty asked him about naval battles, they really didn't know much and didn't dare to speak.

Zhu Yuanzhang said again: "You are not good at naval combat, how can you help us fight against Japanese pirates? Yunqi, bring our good grandson here."

The civil and military ministers in the court only knew about Zhu Xuan's military exploits, but they didn't know whether Zhu Xuan could fight in naval battles. They even thought that Zhu Xuan had won the Three Buddhas before, but it was actually Hua Ying and Mu Sheng who took the initiative to give Zhu Xuan the credit. in hand.

"Your Majesty, the little emperor's grandson is young, isn't this not good?"

Huang Zicheng said first.

They still stand firmly with Zhu Xuan. It is very dangerous to go to sea to fight Japanese pirates. How can they let Zhu Xuan take the risk?

Qitai echoed: "Your Majesty, please think twice!"

Zhu Yuanzhang's face darkened and he asked calmly: "You mean to say that our good grandson's victory in the battle of Sri Lanka was a fraud?"

After Yan Guan waited for Jin Yiwei to come back, he had already reported everything in detail.

Zhu Yuanzhang also secretly sent Jin Yiwei to interview soldiers in Guangdong, Guangxi, Yunnan and other places. After a thorough investigation, he was certain that Zhu Xuan had the ability and that all of his military exploits were true and not fraudulent.

"I dare not!"

Huang Zicheng and the other two could only say that they did not dare to object anymore.

Waited for a while.

"What does the emperor have to do with his grandson?"

Zhu Xuan walked into the hall. Facing so many people around him, he was not nervous at all. He even said openly: "I have met you all!"

The ministers returned the salute at the same time.

"My dear grandson, the Japanese pirates are here again. We want you to take the warship out to sea and destroy the Japanese pirates. Can you do it?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked.

He also told Zhu Xuan all the urgent military information.

The Japanese pirates finally came.

Zhu Xuan said loudly: "My grandson is fine."

Qitai said anxiously: "Your Highness, do you want to consider it again?"

Zhu Xuan knew what he was thinking, and shook his head decisively: "Don't think about it, they are just Japanese pirates. I can fight them. Chen Zuyi is so powerful, I defeated them all."

"it is good!"

Zhu Yuanzhang had discussed with Zhu Xuan a long time ago, and left the Japanese pirates to Zhu Xuan to fight. He also said: "How many warships do we have in Yingtian Mansion now?"

"Go back to Your Majesty!"

Warships are part of weapons, and these are the responsibility of the Ministry of War. Ru Chang, Minister of the Ministry of War, said: "Last year, we asked the Shipbuilding Department in Fujian to build thirty ships. They were all delivered not long ago. Including the original warships, there are a total of forty-three ships." ship."

There are only forty-three ships, which is still a small number.

These are ordinary warships. The artillery and ammunition are already very heavy and take up most of the load of the hull. Therefore, there are not many sailors on each ship. In addition, the Ming Dynasty does not have many sailors who can fight naval battles. There are not many troops going into battle.

Zhu Yuanzhang asked: "My dear grandson, are forty-three warships enough?"

He also knew that forty-three warships were pitifully few.

Back then, Kublai Khan used hundreds of warships to fight against the Japanese, but he failed to take them down. But this time he was not fighting against the Japanese, but against the Japanese pirates. These warships should be enough.

Zhu Xuan originally wanted to say that one Yingtian ship would be enough if it was not needed.

But after long consideration, the coastlines of Shandong and Liaodong are relatively long. If he wants to kill the Japanese pirates, it is impossible to kill them all in an instant. Besides, there are not many naval forces in Shandong, Liaodong and other places, and there are not many warships. They need certain support, so he still agrees. .

"enough!"

Zhu Xuan said: "Grandpa Huang, please rest assured that your grandson will definitely return victorious." Zhu Yuanzhang said loudly: "Okay!"

Then, he said calmly: "If you don't give up the sea ban and train the navy, once the enemy comes from overseas, you won't even have anyone who can go to sea to fight. You can only let our ten-year-old grandson go to fight. Go back and reflect on it!"

The ministers were silent.

Letting a ten-year-old child go to sea to fight does seem like they are incompetent and useless at all.

But it can also be seen that the quota for the battle has long been determined by His Majesty. Even if someone can go to the battle, Zhu Xuan will definitely go with him.

"Xu Huizu, after the Japanese pirates subside, I will give you a group of soldiers to help our Ming Dynasty and train the most elite navy. Can you do it?" Zhu Yuanzhang finally asked.

"I can definitely do it!" Xu Huizu responded solemnly.

Zhu Yuanzhang handed over the future navy to Xu Huizu for his consideration, and asked: "When will my dear grandson be ready to go to war?"

Zhu Xuan said: "Since the war is tense, my grandson is ready to leave tomorrow."

"We agreed!"

Zhu Yuanzhang said again.

The next step is to retreat from the court.

Zhu Yuanzhang did not keep Zhu Xuan, but took three pavilion elders back to Wenhua Pavilion to read the memorial together.

"Your Highness, is it really okay?"

Yang Shiqi asked first.

There were also some officials who supported Zhu Xuan and gathered around him at this time.

Zhu Xuan didn't want to be bothered by them, so he said helplessly: "Of course I have no problem, I have something else to do, so I won't chat with you anymore."

After saying that, he left directly.

We will go to sea tomorrow. If we have time today, of course we will go to Xu Miaojin and the others, and then come back to accompany Grandpa Huang in the evening.

-

East Palace.

"Big brother!"

Zhu Yunzhen came back and said, "I heard that I am going to lead our Daming Navy to go to sea to fight against Japanese pirates. I am really powerful!"

He has never disliked Zhu Xuan.

Especially after hearing about Zhu Xuan's various things, I admire him very much.

When Zhu Yunwen heard Zhu Xuan's name, his face was still livid, which was very ugly.

The two people he hated the most, besides Zhu Xuan, were Zhu Yunxi. He said calmly: "Don't mention that wild boy again in front of me!"

"Oh……"

Zhu Yunzhen lowered his head.

"Brother, Grandpa Xu has sent food again."

Zhu Yunxi said happily.

After a while, the eunuch from the imperial dining room brought in a sumptuous meal.

At the same time, many restrictions in the East Palace were relaxed by Zhu Yuanzhang. All the imperial guards who were watching were removed. Even the palace maids and eunuchs were replaced with better and more considerate ones. Everyday food, drink and other things were all provided. It is the highest specification arrangement.

They lived a very nourishing life.

But Zhu Yunwen finally figured out why Zhu Yuanzhang did this. It was probably to distract the civil servants and make him happy in vain.

"You can eat it again!"

Zhu Yunxuan cheered.

Zhu Yunwen nodded and said, "You guys eat first!"

He was thinking that Zhu Xuan was leaving Yingtian again. Is there any way to contact the people from the White Lotus Sect so that Zhu Xuan would never come back.

But at this time, no one from the White Lotus Sect dared to contact him anymore.
