My brother-in-law is the prince Chapter 98: Great victory
Qiu Fu and the others saluted and said, "Your Majesty, I have a report here and would like to ask Your Majesty to take a look at it."
Zhu Di sat down, but he didn't expect that he was here for official business, so he winked at Yi Shiha who was standing aside.
He also lost his understanding and took the report and sent it to Zhu Di.
Zhu Di looked at it and frowned.
"Zhang Fu has sent a letter." Zhu Di said: "This boy is still like this. He is too impetuous. I asked him to wait at Chengshan Guard, but he became impatient."
The three Qiu Fu exchanged glances with each other, and Qiu Fu said: "Your Majesty, he is a loyal minister. Now that he is older, he has not made any great achievements. It is understandable that he is eager to do so."
Zhu Di seemed to be able to understand Zhang Fu's mentality, and said: "Yes, he wants to shine on his family and not bring shame to his father. Over the years, he has made a lot of small achievements and is willing to work hard. He arranges troops on weekdays.
He has also worked hard in formation and riding and shooting skills. I dare to say that in the future, he will be like his father and will be a pillar of my future."
After a pause, Zhu Di added: "But he is too impatient. All he thinks about every day is to go to the border town to perform meritorious service. This is not good. After all, he is still young."
Qiu Fu said with a smile: "Your Majesty, I think this is nothing. Wasn't it the same when Your Majesty and I were at this age? It is said that newborn calves are not afraid of tigers. This is a good thing."
Zhu Di put down the memorial, looked up at Qiu Fu and the others, and said, "So what do you mean?"
If it was just to show him the report, there would be no need to make such a big fanfare. The three governors must have other purposes for coming together.
Qiu Fu said: "I heard that those who respect their elders should love and protect their own children. It is understandable that Zhang Fu wants to make meritorious deeds. I think... this is also natural."
After hearing this, Zhu Di nodded and said: "Yes, I am afraid that the only one who can command the army in the future is this assistant. I have great expectations for him."
This is also true, Zhu Di still has some vision in this regard.
There are so many children, and their parents are all great heroes.
But to be honest, their fathers are now highly respected ministers, but as for these children, most of them are incompetent. Even if there are some who are successful, they don't focus on leading troops. After all...leading troops is hard, and the art of war is difficult.
Maneuvering strategies are not something that ordinary people can learn.
Having said this, the monarchs and ministers couldn't help but feel secretly.
They thought about the past when they charged into battle, how they dressed up, led their troops and horses, and how they swept away their enemies.
But they all grew old after all, but there were very few successors.
"The descendants only want to enjoy happiness. Who wants to be like us?" Zhu Di continued with emotion: "People say that they can conquer the world immediately, but they cannot conquer the world immediately. In my opinion, this is fart. No one will give it.
These unscrupulous descendants of the gentle countryside are guarding the border, and there is no one to clear out foreign enemies for them. Can they rely on a few books of the Analects of Confucius or a few sentences to stabilize the country? I get angry after hearing this nonsense."
Qiu Fu said: "Your Majesty, please calm down. What I want to say...is to order Zhang Fu to leave as soon as possible. Since he wants to make meritorious service at the border, his wish will be fulfilled."
Zhu Di raised his eyebrows: "Is there really nothing unusual at Chengshanwei?"
"The report made it clear, there is no change."
Zhu Di nodded, sighed, and wanted to say something, but finally said: "Then let the Commander-in-Chief of the Fifth Army issue an order for Zhang Fu to go to Xuanfu."
Qiu Fu said: "Follow the order."
Zhu Di frowned and said nothing.
I am unhappy to see Your Majesty.
Zhu Yong said: "What happened to your Majesty?"
Zhu Di smiled and said: "What I just said is really depressing. I am thinking, after a hundred years, who in the world will guard the Ming Dynasty? It seems that there is only one Zhang Fu who is willing to devote his life.
Already."
These words are indeed depressing. Since entering Nanjing, not to mention the disciples, many generals have become immersed in this gentle countryside.
You can imagine what it will be like once you encounter a foreign enemy.
"When Emperor Taizu Gao was here, he hoped to complete the battle and completely wipe out the remnants of the Northern Yuan Dynasty. In this way, his descendants would no longer be harassed by enemies from the north. But now I think about it, there are endless foreign enemies in this country. Without the Northern Yuan,
There will be Tatar tribes, there will be Oaras, and there will even be Japanese pirates who have harassed our southeastern coast of the Ming Dynasty in the past few years. In the future, can we only rely on Zhang Fu?"
The commander-in-chief Zhu Di mentioned was obviously not just talented people.
After all, such a person must not only be handsome and capable, but most importantly... trustworthy.
Zhang Fu is a trustworthy person.
As for other meritorious deeds...
Qiu Fu was silent for a moment and said: "Your Majesty, in fact, His Highness the King of Han..."
As he spoke, Qiu Fu prostrated himself and continued: "I know that Your Majesty is angry with His Highness the King of Han, but when it comes to commanding the army, I and other veteran generals are all convinced by him."
After Zhu Neng heard this, his expression became strange.
This Qiu Fu is really loyal. At this time, he still dared to speak for the King of Han.
Zheng Heng remained silent. He had been targeted recently and could not protect himself, not to mention that Han Wang was feeding him... When he thought of Han Wang, Zheng Heng felt nauseous and it was close to a conditioned reflex.
Zhu Di was pacing back and forth with his hands behind his back. He was not angry at all. He frowned and said, "Zhu Gaoxu is a fool. He is a fool."
After a pause, Zhu Di added: "But he is not useless."
Immediately, he looked up and said, "Is there any report from Jin Yiwei about the King of Han?"
Yi Shiha said: "Beizhen Fusi reported that since the King of Han returned to the Han Palace, he would not leave his house and live in seclusion every day, but...but..."
"But what?"
"But he didn't seem to think about food or tea. He didn't eat much of the meals he was given. I heard he lost a lot of weight."
Zhu Di's face darkened slightly and he simply said: "I understand."
Then, Zhu Di looked at Qiu Fu and said, "What you said is correct. The King of Han does have good qualities. He can command troops and is a talented general. But, he is too ambitious and does not respect himself."
Speaking of this, Zhu Di couldn't help but sigh.
Qiu Fu said: "In any case, the King of Han is also your Majesty's flesh and blood, and the brother of His Royal Highness. This cannot be given up. The King of Han is still young, and after all... he knows how to take care of the overall situation."
Zhu Di nodded and took a deep breath: "In a few days, I will call the prince and the King of Han to see me. In addition... I will also call Zhang Anshi. It would be good if the King of Han could admit his mistake in front of the prince and Zhang Anshi. If he is still stubborn,
Ning, I will never forgive you."
A big stone settled in Qiu Fu's heart.
In fact, Qiu Fu no longer expects the King of Han to be the emperor, unless... the current prince dies as early as Zhu Biao, the prince during the period of Emperor Taizu Gao.
But after all, Qiu Fu had a life-long relationship with the King of Han, so he could not ignore his fate.
He knew that at this juncture, he was extremely bold in saying these things and might even arouse suspicion, but if he didn't say them, he really couldn't bear his conscience.
At that moment, he choked with sobs and bowed down: "My lord... thank you, Your Majesty."
…………
Gu Xingzu's progress can be said to be visible to the naked eye.
Even Yang Shiqi had to admire this.
He was able to memorize articles written by these people, and began to try to write eight-legged essays.
Of course, the level is very low.
After writing an article, I showed it to Yang Shiqi. Yang Shiqi made an evaluation and compared it with the articles by Xie Jin and others to see which aspects were good and which aspects were not good. After making corrections, he typed it back and rewrote it.
Gu Xingzu was very profound, and it would be no exaggeration to say that he was irritated by hanging beams. He wrote articles until late at night almost every day. Many times, he would not go home, but would light a lamp and continue composing.
After many days passed, his eight-part essay was barely passable.
But it was just passable, probably at the level of a scholar.
Zhang Anshi did not give up, and continued to increase the pressure, and the questions became more and more difficult and tricky.
Gu Xingzu felt very pitiful. He had never suffered such hardship in his life.
What was even more frightening was that while he was doing the questions alone, five scholars from the capital were watching him. Even when he went to the hut, there were Qiu Song standing outside.
And after analyzing again and again, followed by splashing ink again and again, Gu Xingzu felt as if he had become numb.
So much so that even in my dreams, I am thinking about how to solve the problem and how to succeed in it.
He was most distressed by the increasing difficulty of the test questions, because the questions were getting more and more weird, and Zhang Anshi even directly came up with cut-off questions that only appeared in the middle and late Ming Dynasty.
This type of cut-off question is extremely difficult and most tests the candidate's skill. It is completely different from the simpler question structure in the early Ming Dynasty. It is completely the product of candidates' involution a hundred years later.
If the test questions in the early period are addition and subtraction questions in elementary school, then this question is equivalent to calculus.
When he saw this question, Yang Shiqi was shocked because he didn't know how to do it himself.
So much so that I can't even understand the question.
Until Zhang Anshi told him that this "Learn and write wei", the first sentence "xueer" is taken from the first volume of the Analects of Confucius, "learning without thinking is wasteful", and the second sentence "wenwei" comes from the Analects of Confucius Yan Yuan, that is: Ji Zicheng said: Gentleman
It’s just quality, why should it be written?
One question, two sources, each source has a different meaning, but when you answer the question, you must satisfy these two meanings.
Yang Shiqi was dumbfounded and said blankly: "Can it still be like this?"
"Why not?" Zhang Anshi said: "In my opinion, the current imperial examination is too simple. We, the five scholars in the capital..."
Yang Shiqi interrupted him: "Four...four Confucians."
"One idea." Zhang Anshi said: "Where did I just say? Yes, of course the disciples we teach must select the best from the best, and solve difficult problems. If such difficult problems can be solved, then those simple problems
Then it doesn’t matter anymore.”
Yang Shiqi: "..."
Yang Shiqi didn't expect that Zhang Anshi had become so perverted. Anyway, he might not be able to solve the problem at hand.
But let Gu Xingzu do it?
Of course, what shocked Yang Shiqi even more was that Zhang Anshi actually began to directly deconstruct the eight-legged essay.
He dismantled excellent eight-part essays and finally analyzed the structure of excellent eight-part essays, thus summarizing a large set of theories.
What is the method of relying on annotations to control the topic? This method is to memorize Zhu Xi's annotations, and then use Zhu Xi's annotations in large sections and then incorporate them into the article. Zhu Xi is a saint, and he is an officially designated saint. This is quite a bit.
Just like the political correctness of later generations, you are black, gay, disabled, depressed, and a person of color. With all these buffs added up, who dares to oppose you?
In addition, Zhang Anshi also summed up the 'law of obedience', 'the law of flowing water', 'the law of virtuality and reality', 'the law of separation', 'the method of pairing stocks', 'one roll', 'pulling together'
"Down method", "Bao lift method" and other question-solving methods.
All in all, when solving problems, summing up the methods is equivalent to finding the application formula to solve the problem. No matter what problem you encounter, apply a set of formulas, turn the essay into fill-in-the-blank questions, and then rely on your own analysis of the Four Books, Five Classics and Zhu Xi Jing's annotations.
With a deep understanding, he can directly solve and solve the problem.
Yang Shiqi's eyes widened even further: "This is a way of making articles...isn't it...isn't this a joke? Writing articles is a sacred thing."
Zhang Anshi said: "When did writing become a sacred thing? Yang Shidao, don't lie to yourself anymore. It's obvious that everyone seeks fame and fame in order to pass the Jinshi examination."
Zhang Anshi felt that he had told the truest truth.
Yang Shiqi continued to struggle: "But we can't do this..."
Zhang Anshi looked at Yang Shiqi meaningfully: "Master Yang, in the next hundred years, people will naturally sum up these experiences and use these things to make articles. We are just one step ahead of others and write them first as a courtesy."
Yang Shiqi: "..."
So Gu Xingzu began to do this kind of "cut off questions" every day. Sometimes he might not be able to solve a question for two or three days. He thought so hard every day that he almost went crazy.
Even if such a question can be solved, the article written will be full of loopholes.
But Zhang Anshi was very happy and came up with a new topic for him to continue working on.
Yang Shiqi's teeth ached when he saw it, and he only mourned for Gu Xingzu.
A few days later, Zhang Anshi was summoned to the palace by Zhu Di.
Outside the Meridian Gate, his brother-in-law Zhu Gaochi was waiting for him.
Zhu Gaochi was wearing a military uniform and looked serious. He patted Zhang Anshi on the shoulder and said, "How have you been lately?"
"Very good! Where is my brother-in-law?"
Zhu Gaochi frowned. He seemed to have lost weight these days. This imperial examination consumed a lot of his energy. The people in the imperial examination were still making a lot of noise, and some of the officials were also complaining.
What he is most afraid of now is that the situation happened during the Jianwen and Hongwu years, when candidates from the south occupied almost all the places for Jinshi in the imperial examination, while scholars from the north could only fail.
Once this happens... there will inevitably be another big fuss, and according to Zhu Di's character, there is no chance that there will be a killing spree.
Thinking of this, Zhu Gaochi became upset, but he still smiled at Zhang Anshi and said, "Our family Zhang Anshi has already become a doctor."
Zhang Anshi said with a smile: "No, no, I think my knowledge is still a little bit behind. Although Master Hu Yan said that my knowledge is higher than him, I think I may be a little bit behind him."
Zhu Gaochi said nothing.
Zhang Anshi could only say: "What did your Majesty ask us to do?"
Zhu Gaochi said: "Your Majesty also summoned the King of Han."
When Zhang Anshi heard this name, he immediately lost his good mood. He gritted his teeth and said: "This King of Han is not a good guy. Brother-in-law, you have to be careful."
"Don't talk nonsense." Zhu Gaochi became serious: "He is my brother after all. Hey... he is just ignorant."
Zhang Anshi shook his head. He could not understand Zhu Gaochi, but he also knew that it was difficult to change Zhu Gaochi for a while.
Wait until the two of them enter the palace.
Zhu Di was already sitting high in the Wu Tower, and he saw that Han King Zhu Gaoxu was also here talking to Zhu Di for a while.
Zhu Gaochi and Zhang Anshi saluted and said, "I have met Father (Your Majesty)."
…………
The Commander-in-Chief of the Fifth Army.
Zicheng Shanwei's fast horses quickly arrived outside the governor's office.
This person not only carried a secret message in a bamboo tube, but also a baggage containing pear melons.
"Urgent report, urgent report, please see me as soon as possible, Commander-in-Chief."
The soldiers at the door did not dare to stop him. They reported the news inside and welcomed the man in.
This man was exhausted and staggered, but his legs did not stop. Soon, he entered the lobby.
In the Fifth Army Commander's Mansion, four governors were sitting here chatting.
The Duke of Wei, Xu Huizu, was the commander-in-chief of the central army, and there were also the left and right commanders-in-chief, as well as the former commander-in-chief Qiu Fu, Zhu Neng, and Zheng Heng.
They were chatting happily.
At this time, the four of them frowned when they heard something strange happening outside. Generally speaking, such an urgent report would most likely be an urgent military situation at the border.
Immediately, order someone to come in.
The hundreds of households in the Chengshan Guard bowed down and said, "I have met all the governors."
"Which guard do you belong to? What's your military situation?"
Baihu said: "Chengshan Guard was attacked."
As soon as these words came out, the expressions of all the four governors changed.
They care about each other, but a thief actually attacks them?
Qiu Fu suddenly said: "Chengshan Guard... are there thieves in Shandong who dare to attack?"
"There are a lot of thieves." The hundred households said, "This is a memorial. Please see it for all the governors."
As he spoke, he took out the bamboo tube.
So several officials opened the bamboo tube, took out a report inside, then tore off the fire paint and opened it face to face.
Qiu Fu's face suddenly became dark and unclear.
The more he looked, the deeper his frown deepened.
Then he showed an incredible look.
"How... is this possible? How is it possible... that such a large group of pirates is really unheard of, unheard of!"
In fact... before this, although there were occasional incidents of Japanese pirate attacks.
However, the number of Japanese pirates is usually small, so it can be said that they are not worth mentioning.
But this time, it was obviously a large-scale operation. If Zhang Fu hadn't organized his troops at Chengshan Guard this time, Chengshan Guard might have broken through, and the consequences would be unimaginable...
Except for Chengshan Guards, the area has been peaceful for a long time and there is almost no defense. If several prefectures and counties are attacked by such a large number of Japanese pirates, their lives will inevitably be ruined.
“What’s up, what’s up.”
"Unfortunately, Zhang Anshiyan fell in love with him." Qiu Fu said dumbfounded.
"What do you mean? What did you say?"
Qiu Fu then reported the report to Zhu Neng. Zhu Neng was stunned: "This damn crow's mouth is so dangerous. Fortunately, we were prepared. Otherwise, we, the Commander-in-Chief of the Fifth Army, would be laughing at us."
Wei Guogong Xu Huizu was originally slow-tempered and had the demeanor of a general, but now that he heard about Zhang Anshi, he became interested and joined him.
Seeing this... I was shocked.
This guy...is really a crow's mouth.
So he couldn't help but said: "How did he hit the mark? This... is really unbelievable."
"There are more than a thousand thieves. It's hard to imagine that the enemy at sea has reached this level?"
"What are you still waiting for? Go to the palace to see me, and hurry up to report your victory." Wei Guogong Xu Huizu said: "Such an urgent military situation cannot wait long."
After everyone heard this, they felt it made sense.
But the hundred households said: "The governors are entering the palace... humble... Here is the explanation from General Zhang Fu."
Qiu Fu then looked at Baihu: "What else can I do?"
Hundreds of households took the baggage and said: "General Zhang Fu said, these are the pears and melons that our Chengshan Guard planted personally. They are all cultivated by the soldiers who work hard on weekdays. I know that I want to go to Beijing to announce the good news, so I brought this melon.
I want...I want to give His Majesty a taste."
"Fuck him..." Qiu Fu was about to scold Zhang Fu's mother, but fortunately he didn't scold Zhang Fu's mother. He stopped in time and said with a smile: "Look at this boy Zhang Fu, he only cares about Your Majesty and has never thought about giving him anything."
Let's give him a bite of melon to eat, this guy is very clever."
Zhu Neng said: "This guy has some tricks up his sleeve. I want to take note of it, maybe it will be useful in the future."
Regardless, it's a great victory.
Although the Ming Dynasty was on the border, its troubles were always in the north.
However, the enemies at sea should not be underestimated, because they invaded the Ming Dynasty's coastal defense line, which stretched for thousands of miles, and most of them were located in the richest prefectures and counties. Once they were breached, the losses would be even greater than the border towns.
"The Evil God"
I don’t know how many people, money and food were saved this time.
Several governors were beaming with joy.
Especially the Duke of Wei, Xu Huizu, stroked his long beard and looked like everyone was following me.
Fortunately, he is a cautious person after all, so he didn't make it too obvious.
…………
At the other end, Zhu Gaochi and Zhang Anshi saluted Zhu Di, and Zhu Di said: "Give the prince a seat."
Only the prince was given a seat, while Zhu Gaoxu and Zhang Anshi were both standing. This was clearly for Zhu Gaoxu, the king of Han, to see and teach him to calm down and start thinking less.
Zhu Gaochi leaned over and sat down.
Before Zhu Di could say anything else, Zhu Gaoxu stepped forward, bowed his head, saluted to Prince Zhu Gaochi and Zhang Anshi, and said, "I didn't know anything before, so I apologize to you."
After that, he pretended to touch Zhang Anshi's head affectionately: "Yes, yes, a hero comes from a young man. If it weren't for little brother Zhang, my mother's health would probably be worse. Don't remember what happened in the past."
Zhang Anshi was very unhappy when he pressed his head and struggled to get away, but Zhu Gaoxu still looked very affectionate.
Zhu Di then glared at Zhu Gaoxu and began to scold: "You are such a bastard, I have tolerated you again and again. This time it was your brother who persuaded me to calm down and refused to pursue you. Otherwise, I would have to chop you up."
.”
Zhu Gaoxu then said honestly: "Yes, I realized that I was wrong."
He looked aggrieved, and he had lost a lot of weight. It was hard for Zhu Di to continue to get angry at this time, so he immediately said: "We are all one family. We can no longer have any dissatisfaction with each other. You and the prince are both my sons."
, When we were in Peking, we were so happy, but why are we like this now that the three of us, father and son, have come to Beijing?"
"Hey, I'm referring to you two brothers. Fortunately, the prince has a gentle temperament. He, the eldest brother, still cares about you, the brother. If you do it again, you will really be no longer a human being."
Zhu Gaoxu bowed down and began to cry: "Father, I know I was wrong. This time in the palace, I have been reflecting... I am so stupid that I trust others. It is a crime of ten thousand deaths. I would rather kill him."
In order to atone for my sins, I sincerely ask my father to let me lead an army and horses. I would rather guard the Xuan Mansion and guard the border for the Ming Dynasty."
When Zhu Di saw that he was sincere, his expression softened.
Zhang Anshi became anxious when he heard this.
Guarding Xuanfu, don’t you really want to imitate your father?
The King of Han is a prince. Once he arrives at the border town, why don't the border soldiers move closer to him one by one? If there is a change in Nanjing, with his temperament, they will immediately raise troops to kill him.
Didn’t you think you could change history?
At this time, Zhang Anshi said with a smile: "What's the use of a bull's knife to kill a chicken? I've always heard that His Highness the King of Han is as brave as any man. But the King of Han is a prince and has a fiefdom, so why go to Xuan Mansion?"
Anyway, if my brother-in-law doesn't do this bad thing, Zhang Anshi will definitely do it.
Zhu Gaoxu: "..."
After Zhu Di heard this, he was a little hesitant. The unrest on the border was indeed what he was worried about.
Zhu Gaoxu said: "I just hope that I can share my father's worries."
Zhang Anshi intervened again at this time: "But now that there is nothing in the border town, there is no need to trouble the King of Han. Ah... I am still a child. I may have said something wrong. Please don't take offense to His Highness the King of Han."
Zhu Di said: "Don't quarrel."
King Zhu Gaoxu of Han originally wanted to say something, but in the end he gave in.
Zhu Di put his hands behind his back and said: "Look, you are quarreling now. I still hope that you brothers can be harmonious and jointly defend against foreign enemies. The prince is the master of defense, and the King of Han is a general. If brothers are of the same mind, how can there be so many
thing."
When Zhu Gaoxu heard that his father recognized him as a general, he didn't know whether to be happy or sad for a moment. The throne was most likely gone, but...it seemed that his father recognized his command of the army. If he could control the world's military, how could he?
Isn’t it really possible to be Li Shimin?
Zhu Di then looked at Zhang Anshi: "Zhang Anshi."
"I'm here."
"You said there was something wrong with Chengshan Guard, but Zhang Fu has already written a book and said that it was calm there and nothing happened. I have ordered him to go to Xuan Mansion. Of course, I don't mean to blame you. You are still young. These are just jokes.
It’s understandable. Your uncles from the Commander-in-Chief of the Fifth Army also mean the same thing. I hope you will be more cautious in the future and don’t say anything you shouldn’t say.”
Zhang Anshi was confused, could it be that what he saw was a lie?
Or maybe there was a problem with timing.
Thinking about it like this, Zhang Anshi got scared.
Zhu Di said: "You have a lot of abilities at a young age, which is already great. You also did well in Guozixue. This matter of marching and fighting will eventually need to be sharpened. You are still young."
Zhang Anshi said: "Yes, yes, I will never dare to talk nonsense again."
Zhu Gaoxu heard something and said: "Yes, An Shi, marching and fighting is not an easy task. Being a general is similar to running a country. There is no mistake. You can learn from me in the future."
Zhang Anshi said nothing.
At this time, Yishuhaji stepped in and said with an anxious look: "Your Majesty, all the governors of the Fifth Army Commandery Mansion would like to see you."
Zhu Di frowned: "What happened again?"
Yi Shiha said: "It is said that there is an urgent military situation."
As soon as he heard about the military situation, Zhu Gaoxu immediately became energetic, and it was time for him to show off.
After a while, Qiu Fu and others hurriedly entered the hall and bowed.
Zhu Di said: "Is there something wrong with Xuanfu or Liaodong?"
Qiu Fu raised his head, glanced at Zhang Anshi with a strange look, and then said: "Your Majesty, the problem lies with Chengshan Guard..."
When Zhu Di heard this, he was greatly surprised.
He exclaimed: "Chengshan Guard, is the Chengshan Guard that Zhang Anshi said?"
"Exactly."
"Where is the report? Show it to me."
Zhu Di's face was solemn.
Qiu Fu presented the report.
Zhu Di opened it, lowered his head and looked at it, and saw the memorial written: "Fengtian Yiwei Xuanli Wuchen, the commander of the capital camp, Tongzhi Zhang Fu, reported: I was ordered to go to Chengshan Guard to purge the troops and horses. It took more than half a month to arrive.
On the night of the 13th of this month, I suddenly heard the sound of gold drums outside the water stronghold. I immediately led my people to kill the thieves. The thieves were very powerful. They had dozens of ships and thousands of armored men. They attacked the camp overnight. The ministers and other generals fought all night. Among them
Zhang Kuan, the commander of the Chengshan Guards, went to the enemy formation in person, dispersed the number of thieves, and killed thirteen thieves in the formation. The thieves were very fierce and stubborn and refused to disperse until dawn."
After Zhu Di looked at it, he took a deep breath.
He did not expect that large groups of enemies would appear everywhere on the sea, which was completely different from previous pirate attacks.
Zhu Di continued reading: "On that day, I checked with the commander Zhang Kuan and found that twenty-three pirate ships were sunk and 11 were captured, mostly Japanese ships. More than 740 pirates were killed and 839 people were captured.
, and obtained some grain, grass, gold and silver. After being tortured by the ministers and others, it was found that this thief was a fierce bandit in the East China Sea. He had been roaming the sea for several years, came from the Japanese island, and had attacked several states and counties in Korea.
He killed and captured hundreds of Korean soldiers and civilians, and looted countless grains. This time the soldiers were well-prepared, and they wanted to form a mountain guard. They then went on to raid several states around our Ming Dynasty Chengshan Guard. Fortunately, your majesty is wise, uu read the book www.uukanshu.
com I ordered my ministers to clean up the army and horses, and be on guard day and night, otherwise... the thieves might have taken advantage of it, and Cheng Shanwei personally commanded the officers and men below Zhang Kuan, who were delighted when they heard about the thieves, and worked hard regardless of their own safety..."
The more Zhu Di looked at it, the more incredible he felt: "Thieves on the sea...thieves on the sea...damn it, have these pirates become so rampant?"
Zhu Di has been on the front line in Peiping for a long time and does not have a strong understanding of pirates.
In other words, no one in the whole court paid much attention to this.
At this time, he took a deep breath, and then his eyes fell on Zhang Anshi.
He said: "Do you know what this memorial says?"
Qiu Fu said: "Please give me your Majesty's instructions."
Zhu Gaoxu was also anxious and said quickly: "Father, there are thieves who dare to invade our territory of the Ming Dynasty. My son...my son can lead the troops."
Zhu Di waved his hand: "You don't need to."
"Father, son and minister..."
Zhu Di looked at Zhu Gaoxu with strange eyes and said: "These pirates have been caught in one sweep and killed. In this battle, nearly a thousand thieves were killed and nearly a thousand were captured. A lot of money and food were also seized."
After Zhu Gaoxu heard this, he felt a little disappointed, so he had to force a smile and said: "Zhang Fu is quite capable. He made a great contribution by standing upside down this time."
"Is it Zhang Fu's fault?" Zhu Di's eyes fell on Zhu Gaoxu: "The pirates on the sea are different from the enemies in the desert. The difficulty with the enemies in the desert is to confront them head-on. The enemies on the sea are often small in number.
But they can always harass our Ming Dynasty’s weak coastal defense line at any time. Therefore, to defeat the enemy, the most difficult thing is not to defeat them, but to be able to seize the enemy’s opportunity!”
