King Luhuang of the Ming Dynasty: My father, Ming Taizu

Chapter 30 What is King Lu? This is my beloved son-in-law!

Tang He looked at Wang Huai and couldn't help but said, "Is this serious?"

Wang Huai nodded and affirmed: "It's absolutely true! Lord, the situation that day was extremely critical! If His Royal Highness King Lu's army had not been prepared in advance, Rizhao County would have become a hell on earth!"

soon.

Wang Huai took Tang He and Lu Zhongheng to see a lot of weapons and clothing left by the Japanese pirates in the area.

Among them, there are dozens of Japanese swords.

Tang He was slightly startled.

Why did Zhu Tan keep these Japanese knives?

You know, although these Japanese pirates are all jingling, only this Japanese sword is the most precious.

The forging process of Japanese swords is complex, and their hardness and toughness far exceed those of Ming Dynasty weapons today.

Every time the Japanese pirates faced off against the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty, the weapons in the hands of the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty would break at the touch of a touch!
  Speaking of which, this Japanese sword evolved from the Tang sword craftsmanship of the Tang Dynasty.

Unfortunately, this forging craft has been lost in China, but has blossomed in Japan.

This also made the Japanese sword the most precious capture of the Ming army in the process of confronting the Japanese pirates.

As long as they come across them, they will definitely be taken away.

What Tang He couldn't understand was that Zhu Tan didn't want these precious Japanese knives!

If these things were placed in other guardhouses, people would have to break their heads to snatch them.

Tang He looked at Wang Huai and asked, "Didn't the people of Lu Wangwei take these Japanese swords?"

Wang Huaiqian laughed and said: "Maybe they captured too many Japanese knives! I saw that they captured at least a thousand knives. These are all knives with damaged blades or defects. The prince said that they are here. , leave a souvenir to the people of Rizhao and tell them that the Japanese pirates were once defeated here."

hiss--!
  Tang He and Lu Zhongheng couldn't help but gasp!
  Thousands of Japanese swords!

In recent years, the Ming Dynasty has only seized so many items along the southeast coast.
  It seems that everything Wang Huai said is true!

It’s just that this thing is really weird!
  It sounds like Zhu Tan is not here to seek immortality.

Instead, they came specifically to ambush Japanese pirates!
  Tang He couldn't help but ask: "Did His Royal Highness King Lu command the battle here that day?"

The words fell.

Behind Wang Huai, someone's eyes immediately turned red.

It is Yang Chang, the commander of Anton Guard!

Credit! Credit!
  My credit!

He couldn't help but said: "His Royal Highness King Lu did not personally command this place! He came to Anton Guard that day! He borrowed 2000 naval troops from General Mo, went east to Pingshan Island, and destroyed the Japanese pirates' lair there!"

The words fell.

Tang He and Lu Zhongheng were even more shocked!

Tang He's voice trembled!

"Commander Yang, are you serious about what you said? His Royal Highness King Lu also destroyed a lair of Japanese pirates?"

Yang Chang immediately said: "Seriously! Lord Guo, my subordinates led 2000 naval troops to personally follow His Royal Highness King Lu to Pingshan Island! They witnessed with their own eyes the army annihilated the Japanese pirates' lair and obtained countless baggage treasures! My subordinates personally participated in the whole process, Witness it with your own eyes! This subordinate dares to guarantee his wealth and life!"

Isn’t this a claim for merit?

I just want to prove that you really wiped out the Japanese pirates' lair
  You can't say I don't mean what I say!
  Yang Chang couldn't help but think in his heart.

Tang He was immediately convinced when he heard that Yang Chang had witnessed and followed each of them one by one.

Tang He asked: "How about the capture in this battle?"

Yang Chang said: "The last general went to check it out in person at that time and saw with his own eyes that nearly a thousand Japanese pirates were captured and killed, and the property worth tens of millions of taels of silver was seized!"

what!
  Tang He started to hear this.

Frown slightly.

What are you doing, one by one, in person and with your own eyes!
  Just say no once?
  Later, after hearing the results of the battle.

The whole person's eyes suddenly straightened!
  Nearly a thousand Japanese pirates were captured and killed! Ten million taels of silver seized!
  What a great achievement, what a great achievement!
  Not to mention, Rizhao County was saved!
  Zhu Tan did so beautifully this time!

Lu Zhongheng was also shocked when he heard what Yang Chang said!

He looked at Tang He and said, "My lord! This should be our greatest victory over the Japanese pirates since the founding of the country! His Royal Highness, King Lu, is really powerful!"

Tang He said with a smile: "Yes. It is really gratifying that my beloved son-in-law can achieve such an achievement!"

Lawrence Lu laughed dryly.

It seems that an hour ago, the Duke of Guo was planning to make a difficult decision to cut off from King Lu.

Are you now calling yourself your beloved son-in-law?
  Tang He was in a good mood at this time.

He said to everyone: "Haha. Since Rizhao County is fine, please ask the sergeants from each family to return to their respective stations!"

Subsequently.

Tang He said to Lu Zhongheng, "Let's go too!"

Lawrence Lu said: “Where are we going?”

Tang He said: "Yanzhou! Such a big thing happened in Shandong, we must find out!"

Lu Zhongheng smiled and said, "By the way, take a look at the Duke's daughter?"

Tang He coughed slightly and said with a happy face: "The main thing is to see my father-in-law's beloved son-in-law!"

Jinan Prefecture.

Shandong Chief Envoy Si Yamen.

The chief envoy Sun Yannian was smiling and chatting with the Shandong inspector Li Quan.

Yesterday, the memorial jointly signed by several high-ranking officials in Shandong and the King of Qi has been rushed 800 miles to Yingtian Mansion, and will be presented to His Majesty's case within two days.

It turned out that Rizhao County was raided by Japanese pirates, and several people had to bear a huge responsibility.

Even being beheaded by the emperor is not impossible.

But now, since everyone has passed the responsibility to Lu Wang Zhu Tan, it is much easier.

Now it is only necessary to report the loss of Rizhao County to the emperor.

Sun Yannian couldn't help but think about it.

King Qi and King Lu are both our lucky stars in Shandong!

One has the courage to take the blame, and the other has the courage to put the blame firmly on his head.

Such tacit cooperation makes it easier for us, right?
  suddenly.

Zhou Dakang, the Shandong capital commander, walked quickly with a flustered look on his face.

Sun Yannian felt a little strange when he saw Zhou Dakang's expression.

I couldn't help but ask: "Mr. Zhou, what's going on? Why are you so panicked? Could it be that Rizhao County has been massacred by Japanese pirates?"

In fact, the responsibility has now been passed on to King Lu, even if Rizhao County was massacred by Japanese pirates. Zhou Dakang shouldn't have such an expression.
  Zhou Dakang panicked and said: "The problem is more serious than massacre!"

Sun Yannian frowned and said, "How serious could it be? Did those Japanese pirates go to other counties?"

Zhou Dakang shook his head and said: "It's not that they went to other counties, but that they didn't massacre the city at all! These Japanese pirates were all wiped out by King Lu's troops! Not only that, King Lu also borrowed 2000 naval troops from Anton Wei. The Japanese pirates on Pingshan Island were destroyed The Japanese pirates' nests were also wiped out, and a lot of them were captured, making great achievements!"

"what!"

Sun Yannian and Li Quan stood up suddenly and screamed!

Even if the Japanese pirates massacred a whole mansion, they would not be as shocked as the current battle report!

After all, even if a city was massacred by Japanese pirates, it would only be Lu Wang Zhu Tan who was more responsible.

But now the massacre did not happen. Instead, it was King Zhu Tan of Lu who made the great contribution.

The memorial between the three of them and King Qi has become a joke!
  It might even become a false accusation in Lao Zhu’s eyes!
