The eldest grandson of Emperor Ming Dynasty!

On the Mongolian steppe.

Zhu Di led the march, followed by Zhang Yu and Zhu Neng.

The information about the Wa country involves Zhu Gaochi, the eldest son of Zhu Di, so a copy will naturally be sent over.

"My lord, could it be the hand of King Jin? After all, he and the lord have always been at odds." Zhang Yu asked.

But Zhu Neng, who also knew the content of the information, was stunned.

Just now, the information clearly said that the Japanese assassin was involved, so why did it involve King Jin.

Zhu Neng, who has well-developed limbs, understood that there must be some truths that he didn't understand, so he just kept silent and listened to Zhang Yu chatting with the prince.

Zhu Di's face was a little gloomy, and he said after hearing the words: "It's not the third child. Although the third child has always hated the king, such things are not something the third child can do."

"It's just that the old seventh guy doesn't seem to be the one who would attack the eldest son of the king. Everyone knows that this will definitely violate the taboo of the father."

"It's true, it's false, it's false, I think it's really possible, it's the hands of the Wa country."

"However, if they can reach this level, the third child and the seventh child will not be able to get rid of the suspicion. There must already be a traitor from the Japanese country."

"And this person definitely knows a lot about us and other royal affairs, otherwise he wouldn't say that there is such a method."

In Zhu Di's voice, there was affirmation of his deduction.

After all, they are all brothers who grew up together, and this does not mean that they are involved in any battle for the throne.

The overseas vassal states seem to be outside of Daming, but in fact, to a large extent, they are also restricted and controlled by Daming.

A decree passed, so what about the so-called vassal state.

To a large extent, it is very difficult for feudal kings to develop.

In the vassal state, the first thing to face is the threat from external forces, as well as the handling of internal affairs.

Once he loses Da Ming's support, it will be like an ambush from all sides.

It is precisely because Zhu Di understands this that he is willing to give up his vassal state special zone and come to the grassland to become a general.

"Your Majesty, can we ask His Majesty to go to Wa Kingdom?"

"After all, no matter what, it is the foundation of the prince after all."

Zhang Yu asked after hesitating for a moment.

The current situation in the grassland, especially in terms of military power, even though it has been somewhat relaxed, there are too many restrictions in various aspects, and it is not possible to control the hearts of the soldiers as before.

A large number of middle-level officers who have received studies at the Ming Military Academy, although they are very effective in using them, they also control the lower-level soldiers at the same time.

It doesn't matter at ordinary times, and a little dispute involving the higher-ups cannot be controlled at all.

Even if you want to buy one or two people, it doesn't make much sense, because according to the current trend, everyone can see that every year, a large number of mid-level military officers will graduate from the Daming Military Academy.

These people are naturally Taisun faction.

If you can recruit a few people, ten people, how can you buy hundreds or thousands of people.

With the issuance of an order, Zhu Di's military power can be easily lifted without any ability to resist.

Even Zhu Di admired such methods.

It never occurred to him that Zhu Ying did not choose to win over these famous heroes and generals, but started with the middle-level officers.

At this point, there is no opponent.

It should be known that no matter how powerful a general is, what he achieves merits does not depend on his own force, but an extremely powerful army that obeys commands.

After hearing these words, Zhu Di stopped his horse temporarily.

Looking forward, the hundred households and general banners headed by the army.

These people are the real cornerstone of an army.

Zhu Di's eyes were somewhat complicated and unwilling.

After a while, he said: "No, the situation on the grassland is tense now. Although Bei Yuan Nahao Hai Dayu has little ability, he is constantly instigating various tribes to ambush our army."

"Leaving the grassland to go to the country of Wa at this point, all previous efforts will be in vain."

"I believe that Gao Chi can handle the affairs of Yan City in the Wa country well. With this lesson, the defense of Yan Palace will be more perfect."

Done.

Without any further hesitation, Zhu Di raised his whip and lashed the side of the horse, galloping away.

Zhang Yuzhu was able to look at each other, and then left with him.

The form of the grassland is not as good as expected.

Whether it's Zhu Di or Lan Yu, while going deep into the grassland, they are also facing the problem of supplies.

The long supply line could easily be attacked by the grassland cavalry, coupled with the current situation of constantly absorbing the population, all the nobles of the grassland became frightened and began to unite.

It was quite a blow to Zhu Di and Lan Yu.

During this period, there were several tough battles.

Although he won in the end, he suffered a lot of losses.

This is a frontal fight, and no one can easily escape, even in the past few days, Zhu Di was almost shot by an arrow.

There are also many injuries on the body.

The war has begun to heat up.

Japanese country.

Jin Palace.

King Zhu of Jin's expression showed a somewhat tyrannical feeling.

Ever since he came to Jincheng and stayed away from Daming, Zhu Bian was naturally more relaxed.

The so-called is that the country is easy to change, but the nature is hard to change.

Without the oppression of his father and Zhu Ying here, Zhu Yan revealed his brutal nature due to many conveniences.

Non-my family, its heart must be different.

Under the guidance of this sentence, the Japanese nobles and common people in Jincheng do not have a good life.

wrong.

In other words, within the scope of Jincheng's jurisdiction now, there is no such thing as the nobility of the Wa Kingdom.

The first thing Zhu Yan did when he returned to the Wa Kingdom was to destroy all the nobles of the Wa Kingdom.

Without the status of aristocrats, they are even worse than ordinary civilians, especially those rogue warriors, who are forced to be civilians.

After the weapons are collected, they also become better laborers.

Under the force of absolute suppression, resistance has no meaning at all.

The implementation of the continuous sitting system is very effective in Wa country.

If one person made a mistake, the whole group was punished, and they were suppressed without any temper.

And the soldiers on Daming's side didn't have any compassion for this kind of alien race.

Before the war against the Japanese kingdom, the numerous crimes committed by those Japanese pirates at the coastal border of Daming had already been widely publicized.

At that time, it was to boost morale, but now it has become the morality in my heart.

It's just that today's Jin Palace looks a bit depressing.

Zhu Yan held back his anger from above, looked at the ministers and generals under his command, and asked in a cold voice: "About the assassination of my nephew, say, we are here in Jincheng, but someone was involved."

"Now tell me honestly, I will kill you alone. If this king finds out that there is a connection, it will be your whole family, young and old, and none of them will be left behind."

"There are also those who know some of the secrets, if they are found out and do not report, they will be guilty of the same crime!"

Zhu Gaochi was assassinated, Zhu Yan was only slightly stunned for a while, and then quickly reacted.

This will inevitably lead to the suspicion of Master Huang who is far away in Damingjing.

Zhu Yan's temperament, of course, is fearless, but the one he fears the most is his father.

He knew how ruthless his father was, if he hadn't made a mistake at the beginning, if his elder brother hadn't pleaded for mercy, the prince might have been cut off.

The killing of uncles and nephews is the biggest taboo in my father's heart. Once it is confirmed, it must be a storm comparable to a tsunami.

Not to mention this overseas vassal state, it is good not to be demoted to a commoner, and it is very likely that he will be recalled to the capital and placed under house arrest.

The current Zhu Yan is feeling the joy of overseas, the most unrestrained time.

Besides, with the help of His Highness the Grandson's Chamber of Commerce, there is nothing to worry about money. If this person is wrongfully imprisoned and sent to the capital, it will be a great grievance.

No matter how cruel Zhu Yan was, he would not harm his nephew.

Although I hated the fourth child very much, I didn't think about what to do, I just hoped to be recognized by my father.

What he is most afraid of now is that these ministers and soldiers under his command are unruly, and they have messed up a moth without authorization, and implicated himself in it.

Zhu Bian, who was sitting on the throne, stared viciously at everyone's faces carefully.

Those who looked at him naturally lowered their heads in fear.

This feeling made Zhu Yan even more panicked. At first glance, it seemed that everyone in his mother was suspected.

Damn it, my father wouldn't doubt me like that.

At this moment, Zhu Yan suddenly felt like jumping into the Yellow River would not be able to wash away.

It even felt that the letter of father scolding had already arrived on the way to Jincheng.

"No, I have to do something, otherwise, if I am really misunderstood by my father, it will be bad."

Zhu Bian, who usually wouldn't frown when fighting on the battlefield, broke out in cold sweat on his forehead after a meal of self-anxiety.

He is very aware of his father's suspicious and suspicious character, and he also understands that he has never had a good impression in his father's heart.

In addition, his quarrel with the fourth child was an open secret, so he didn't dare to think about the consequences.

"I just hope that my eldest nephew can speak a few words of kindness for me in front of my father."

After being lucky for a while, Zhu Yan immediately got up and announced: "Prepare the horse immediately, my king's nephew has been assassinated, so I have to visit it in person."

Zhu Yu in Qicheng is not feeling well either.

"Father shouldn't think that I am causing trouble in the middle, right? If you suspect it, you should also suspect the third brother."

"We all know that the third brother and the fourth brother have serious conflicts. Although the fourth brother and I are not very close, there is nothing against each other. There is no reason for me to do such a thing."

"No, my father will definitely think about such things. The third brother and I are the most likely in this country."

"Could it be the third brother?"

After thinking about it for a while, Zhu Yu decided to go to the third brother's place to find out.

If it's really the third brother, then he has to be careful.

As soon as he said he would leave, Zhu Yu immediately ordered his subordinates to prepare horses, and led the cavalry straight to Jincheng.

If you don't go and see things like this yourself, you really don't feel at ease.

"What, third brother went to Yancheng?"

After spending two days rushing to Jincheng, Zhu Yu did not expect to hear such news.

"Could it be that the third brother wants to inquire about the situation in Jincheng?"

"So it looks like the third brother really did it?"

"No, I have to go check it out too."

Zhu Yu immediately transferred the team and set off towards Yancheng.

He felt that his trip to Yancheng would definitely bring him unexpected gains.

As far as the Wa country is concerned, the most stressful thing about Zhu Gaochi's assassination is of course the Wa royal family.

To be precise, it should be the shogunate general Ashikaga Yoshimitsu.

For Ashikaga Yoshimitsu, the Wa country has already been severely beaten by Daming, and there is still a lot of compensation here.

And now it is the Japanese who are going to assassinate the son of Daming.

"Your Excellency, General, this must be a conspiracy by the Ming people themselves. They must be looking for an excuse to launch an attack, so as to invade our Japanese country again."

"That's right, Your Excellency General, this was definitely not done by our people. Under such circumstances, how could we assassinate Daming's eldest son? Wouldn't this be causing trouble for ourselves?"

On the side of Ashikaga Yoshimitsu, there are a large number of daimyos.

For this matter, Ashikaga Yoshimitsu summoned all the daimyos who had the ability to accomplish this matter.

The purpose is to investigate clearly whose samurai did this.

Regardless of whether there are people from Ming Dynasty or not, it is indeed a ninja warrior from the Wa Kingdom, which is beyond doubt.

He had to investigate the situation here before the Ming envoy arrived.

"There are nearly a hundred warriors who did the fighting. With such a large scale, it is absolutely impossible to hide it from them."

"Even if it is a ninja cultivated in secret, do you really think that others don't know about it?"

"I hope that you can take the initiative to stand up and take responsibility for this matter. When you choose to use these warriors, you should think of the situation today."

Ashikaga Yoshimitsu stood in front of the main hall, and said in a low voice to the surrounding daimyos.

Dozens of people in the hall suddenly became silent.

Everyone knows that it must be in this hall today that so many powerful warriors can be assigned to attack the name of King Yan Palace.

In addition, there is no big name that can cultivate so many warriors in secret.

Time was slowly passing by, and still no one stood up, but Ashikaga Yoshimitsu didn't mean to be in a hurry, but just waited quietly.

Finally, the sound of footsteps came from the hall, and a daimyo wearing silk gorgeous clothes came out.

"Kurosawa-kun, how could it be you."

Ashikaga Yoshimitsu said in disbelief.

The surrounding daimyos also showed unimaginable expressions at this moment.

Because in everyone's impression, Daimyo Kurosawa is the most cautious, and will not easily conflict with others, even if there is any matter, he will give priority to giving in.

Just like a good old man's character.

And it was such a good old man who secretly supported high-level ninja warriors, and even dared to assassinate the prince of Ming Dynasty.

This and the usual impression are completely two extremes.

In fact, everyone has doubts in their hearts, including Ashikaga Yoshimitsu himself. It seems that he has a chance to win, but in fact he has already ruled out many candidates, and there are a few suspects.

However, Daimyo Kurosawa was not among the suspects.

He even said that all the famous names did not suspect him.

Resisting the shock in his heart, Ashikaga Yoshimitsu hurriedly asked: "Kurosawa-kun, tell me, is it King Qi or King Jin of Ming Dynasty?"
