Li Jin and Zhu Biao stood on the third floor of the training base, looking at the Yiwu boatmen below who were training hard.

When Li Jin mentioned the Japanese pirates, Zhu Biao knew what Li Jin was thinking.

But Zhu Biao did not support Li Jin's approach, because going to sea was a very dangerous thing, and it was likely to be in vain.

Not only was a lot of human and financial resources wasted, but there was no return at all. This was a very stupid thing in Zhu Biao's opinion.

The Japanese pirates were ferocious in nature and cut off the entire southeastern coastal area of ​​the Ming Dynasty. As long as those who dared to go to sea, these Japanese pirates were the first line of defense.

Don't think that these Japanese pirates are from Japan and do not understand the actual situation of the Ming Dynasty.

On the contrary, most of the so-called Japanese pirates were Ming people.

It may not be accurate to say that the Ming Dynasty people were actually the remnants of the defeat of Zhang Shicheng and Fang Guozhen, who colluded with the Japanese.

Only then can it become a hegemon along the southeastern coast and harm the southeastern provinces.

Zhu Biao believed that the sea was vast and boundless, and Li Jin could not catch these Japanese pirates, and it was just a waste of effort.

But after hearing Li Jin's rhetorical question, Zhu Biao was stunned, and then asked attentively:

"How do you know where these Japanese pirates come from?"

Li Jin did not answer, but instead hooked his hand towards Zhu Biao and said:

"Come, follow me."

Li Jin took Zhu Biao towards the first floor, and in the lobby on the first floor of the training base, there was a huge map hanging.

This map is completely different from the maps Zhu Biao has seen before.

The cities on the Daming Sea and the surrounding islands are marked on the map. Even a small island is clearly marked on the map.

Yingtian of the Ming Dynasty was also marked on the map, using a golden color and specially enlarging it so that Zhu Biao could see it at a glance.

To the east of Yingtian is Shanghu County, which is also enlarged and marked on the map.

But what puzzled Zhu Biao was that there were four large islands in the northeast of Shanghu County, and the three large islands were marked in bright red.

Their names are Kyushu Island, Honshu Island, and Shikoku Island.

"What is this place and why is it specially marked in red?"

Zhu Biao pointed directly at the hanging map and asked:

"Does it have any special meaning?"

Li Jin looked at the direction Zhu Biao was pointing, his eyes gradually turned cold, and he said in a cold voice:

"That's where the Japanese plague comes from!"

"What?"

Zhu Biao looked at the three small islands in shock.

The combined area of ​​these islands is not as large as Jiangnan Road. How dare they cross the sea and invade the Ming Dynasty?

"How is this possible? How dare you attack Ming Dynasty in a place as big as a palm?"

"Yes, the people in these places are full of evil nature."

Li Jin's words did not contain any emotion.

"They are cruel by nature. Even though they are very weak now, they have never stopped invading other people's territory."

"This kind of people should not live in this world. We should wipe them completely off the map."

When Zhu Biao heard Li Jin's words, he felt a little creepy. He didn't know how these Japanese islanders provoked Li Jin and made Li Jin hate them so much.

He also thought that when he first came to this place, most of the slave traders in the north of the city were Japanese.

Thinking of this, Zhu Biaoqing couldn't help but shudder. It seemed that Li Jin had already planned it.

"But it's still a country there anyway. With just three thousand of your people, you want to completely wipe them out? Isn't it too far-fetched?"

Zhu Biao felt that Li Jin was exaggerating. After all, Zhu Biao only saw 3,000 people in this training base.

It is really impossible to destroy the country with three thousand people!

Li Jin did not refute.

It's not that it's impossible for three thousand people to destroy the country, but he has other plans.

As long as his plan can be successfully promoted, not to mention just a Japanese island, even the world will surrender to the feet of Ming Dynasty.

The key to this plan lies in the person in front of you.

....

Zhu Biao left Shanghu County feeling a little confused.

When he came, he was very ambitious and wanted to do things beautifully and prove it to his father.

But now, he just feels a little confused.

Because now he really can't tell whether Li Jin is a rebel or not.

If he didn't rebel, those Yiwu boatmen really didn't look like sailors, but like killers.

But he said he was rebelling, but there was no sign of rebellion at all. On the contrary, his plan to go to sea might make Zhu Yuanzhang even more angry.

When talking about going to sea, Zhu Biao remembered what Li Jin told him, which made it even more difficult for him to handle.

Zhu Fan planned to investigate in Shanghu County again, but he had already stayed in Shanghu County for two days.

If he doesn't go back, I'm afraid Zhu Yuanzhang will become anxious and it will be even more troublesome.

Zhu Biao also wanted to know the results of Mao Xiang's investigation. If it was true as Li Jin said, there was no problem with the Yiwu County magistrate, then he would believe that Li Jin did not rebel.

Zhu Biao quickly returned to Yingtian City as he hurried on with full of thoughts.

After Zhu Yuanzhang heard that Zhu Biao was back, he immediately summoned Zhu Biao in the study room.

"Biao'er, how was the investigation in Shanghu County?"

Zhu Yuanzhang's answer was casual, as if he was not sad about the result.

When Zhu Biao heard this, he hesitated to speak.

Seeing Zhu Biao like this, Zhu Yuanzhang finally showed a serious look on his face. Could it be that there was an unexpected surprise when Zhu Biao went there this time.

Even Biao'er found it so difficult to speak. It seems that Li Jin really has the intention to rebel?

If that's the case, don't blame us for being ruthless.

"Is there something unspeakable? Why are you so hesitant?"

Zhu Yuanzhang pressed again and wanted to ask about Zhu Biao's investigation results.

"No, that's not the case."

Zhu Biao gritted his teeth and decided to tell the truth:

"Li Jin recruited those people just to build a fleet."

"Those people are all Li Jin's boatmen. It's just that Li Jin's way of training boatmen is a bit strict, which makes the people who were eliminated hold a grudge."

Zhu Biao then told the story of why those people who were in the court and said that Li Jin was rebelling were driven out.

After Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he didn't care about the people's affairs. He cared more about another thing:

"Fleet? What does Li Jin want to do?"

Zhu Yuanzhang had a bad premonition when he heard what Li Jin was doing with his fleet.

He had just issued a sea ban, and Li Jin dared to commit crimes. This was simply intolerable.

Zhu Biao was caught off guard by Zhu Yuanzhang's sudden question and stammered:

"Li...jin...he wants...to go to sea."

"Going to sea?! Didn't he receive our order? What does he think of us? Does he still see us as the emperor in his eyes?"

Zhu Yuanzhang was so angry that he immediately protested. After all, he had expressly stipulated that he was not allowed to go to sea.

Now Li Jin dares to blatantly violate it and express his wish to go to sea in front of his son. This is simply disrespectful.

Zhu Yuanzhang only felt a surge of inspiration rushing to the sky, and he yelled angrily:
Chapter completed!
