I Am the Grandson of the Second Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, Earning 100 Million Taels at the Beginn

Chapter 182 The Battle of the Three Kingdoms begins.

After the banquet, Zhu Zhangui gave the whole army a few days off.

After playing happily for a few days, the soldiers of the whole army began to pack their things and prepare to go back.

There is still a big battle to be fought next, and the little pumpkin has already chosen to surrender, so the little pumpkin will come to an end for the time being.

On the fifth day after the banquet, Zhu Zhangui held a military meeting.

After discussion at the meeting, it was decided to leave a corps and a naval squad composed of 5 ships, stationed in Izumo and Iwami.

In terms of candidates, after careful consideration, Zhu Zhangui decided to let Shen An, the commander of the Second Army of the Shenji Battalion, lead the troops to station in the two places.

The navy divided 5 warships and formed a small team as a maritime patrol force.

The reason why so many people were left behind was mainly because they were worried that the little pumpkins would not be convinced, and they would come and attack again while the large army was gone.

After the people who stayed were determined, the fleet began to load and prepare to return.

It took them more than half a year to fight a small pumpkin country. There is still such a long distance from Ah San, and it will be at least the end of the year by the time they get there.

When they get to Ah San, they will fight and occupy and rule.

Time can be said to be very tight, they must hurry up.

Zhu Zhangui has already made plans to unload his things at the Haikou of Changjiang Road and set off immediately.

Although I really miss my son and a few daughters-in-law, national affairs are more important.

All these efforts are for the sake of my own future and the future of my children.

As a father, you can't do it without fighting.

Yongle 13 years in August.

The fully loaded fleet set sail and returned to Daming.

Jinling, Imperial Palace, Shangshufang.

"How's your rest this time?"

The old man sat on the carpet, with his hands spread out, and with a smile on his face, he protected the little guy who was stumbling forward.

Zhu Pangpang, who was sitting across from him and also stretched out his arms to be on guard, quickly replied when he heard the old man's words.

"I'm fine. I lost more than 10 catties. The imperial doctor checked yesterday and said that there is nothing serious. Just keep exercising and don't be too tired!"

"Hahaha, my great-grandson is amazing!"

After catching the little guy who rushed over, the old man laughed loudly and kissed the little guy on the cheek.

"Cuckoo..."

Hearing the great-grandfather's praise, the little guy also laughed happily and patted his little hands vigorously.

"I plan to go to Peiping in a while, and I will leave it to you at home. If there is any report from the brat, you don't need to make a decision, just pass it to me as soon as possible."

After confirming that his son was in good health, the old man finally expressed his thoughts.

The old man is really not used to Jinling. If it wasn't for the fact that the Forbidden City in the north has not been built yet, he would have moved there long ago.

Originally, in history, after Beijing last year, the old man did not return to Jinling, but stayed in Peiping.

But it's different in this world.

The old man, who was only thinking about his great-grandson, didn't even stay there in Beiping. He just rested overnight and returned to Jinling the next day.

Now the little guy is a little bigger, and he is no longer as delicate as when he was just born.

The old man decided to take the little guy to live in Peking.

"Father, it's cold in the north. Yi Erchen thinks you should stay in Jinling. If you don't mind, I can go over there!"

Zhu Pangpang will not let the old man go.

It's not that he doesn't want to part with the old man, but he is worried that the old man will bring his grandson with him.

The old man really spoiled the little guy.

I have to take it with me every day, even when I go to court, I will put the little guy by the dragon chair to accompany me.

This action made Zhu Pangpang speechless.

Two years ago, before I became emperor myself, my son took the first step to oversee the country.

As a result, all my grandsons have sat on the dragon chair this year.

This made Zhu Pangpang very depressed.

Obviously all of this is my own, why I haven't got it yet, my son and grandson have experienced it first.

"What are you doing!"

The old man squinted Zhu Pangpang, holding a folding fan, fanning the little guy while saying.

"I'm going to take the little guy back to Beiping to show your mother. Your mother hasn't seen this child since he was born."

"I told her about it when I was in Beiping, and she must have been looking forward to seeing the child for a long time!"

Now that the old man has said so much, Zhu Pangpang naturally dare not object.

If he dared to object, it would be unfilial.

Leaving aside the loss of reputation, in fact, he also wanted his mother to see the child in his heart.

Besides, the old man just went to the north to see, not to fight, and it didn't cost much money.

"Well, when are you leaving?"

The old man thought for a while and replied: "In a few days, I will leave after the boy writes back."

When Zhu Zhangui was mentioned, Zhu Pangpang hesitated for a long time, and finally asked out the doubts in his heart.

"Father, where did Zhangui go, please don't tell me, really go to defend against the enemies outside."

The old man turned his head to look at Zhu Pangpang, and affirmed with a serious expression.

"He is really defending against foreign enemies. This matter is absolutely true. You just need to do your job well, prince, and you don't need to worry about other things."

Zhu Pangpang has black lines all over his head.

There is definitely something going on in this.

If it is really to defend against foreign enemies, with the strength of the Ming Navy, how powerful the enemy must be to deal with the Ming Navy for so long.

War is about consumption.

From the time of departure to the present, the navy and the Shenji Battalion have never asked for supplies at all, and they have not even mentioned food and other supplies.

With such a large army, don't they eat food and have no wounded?

The navy has thousands of guns, and every salvo is a huge waste.

If the enemy's strength is really not weak, the two sides must have fought.

Fighting at sea is different from fighting on land.

Every time a battle is started, the consumption is very huge.

Leaving aside the ammunition and gunpowder, the maintenance of warships cannot be done at ordinary small docks.

But since the navy left, apart from manufacturing warships, there have been no warships in the shipyard for maintenance.

It is even more impossible to beat that Ah Sanguo.

You must know that to fight the Three Kingdoms, the Ministry of War has mobilized 5 troops capable of conscripting and fighting.

These troops are still waiting in Quanzhou, Fujian. The grain and grass prepared by the household department and the shells and gunpowder provided by the craftsman camp are still piling up there.

If Zhu Zhangui goes to fight the Three Kingdoms, these supplies and soldiers will definitely be brought with him.

If you want to fight Japanese pirates, that's even more impossible.

The Japanese pirates in the entire coastal area were almost wiped out, and the remaining one or two small forces were also wiped out by the coastal navy.

Now, for the people living along the coast, there is almost no danger other than natural disasters caused by wind and waves.

"Report to the emperor, His Royal Highness Taisun sent an urgent report!"

Just when Zhu Pangpang was about to sniff out the wind, the little snot standing by the door took the memorial from the little eunuch who came outside, walked in quickly, and handed it to the old man.

The old man's eyes lit up slightly, and he knew in his heart that Zhu Zhangui's side should have been settled.

Handing the little guy to Zhu Pangpang, the old man quickly opened the memorial and began to read it.

"it is good!"

After scanning the content above, the old man shouted happily when he saw the news that Iwami Silver Mine had been found, was being mined now, and a large sum of gold and silver had been seized.

Zhu Pangpang's eyelids trembled, and he felt a bad feeling in his heart.

These fathers must have done something without telling themselves.

Looking at the old man's excited appearance, and during this time, Xia Yuanji always asked the old man's situation mysteriously.

Zhu Pangpang had a bold guess in his heart.

My son may have gone back to his old job and went out to plunder.

No way, he had to think about it.

Obviously, the navy did not encounter foreign enemies, and there were no foreign enemies overseas. Zhu Zhangui also took the navy and his direct descendant Shenji Battalion out.

That could be just one.

The court was short of money again.

My son also found a place to make a fortune.

The old man, who is also ruthless and ruthless, discussed with his son's opponent and decided to grab one.

"Father, how much did you steal this time!"

Looking at the happy old man, Zhu Pangpang put the little guy playing with the fan aside and sat down, and asked the old man leisurely.

"Haha, this time I earned 5000 million taels of silver and 100 million taels..."

When the old man was happy, he subconsciously said it.

But just halfway through the conversation, he suddenly found that the eldest son was looking at him resentfully.

"Cough cough..."

"The brat said that they defeated the foreign enemy. In order to survive, the foreign enemy took out 5000 million taels of silver, 100 million taels of gold, and ransom their lives."

"The brat told me that he has agreed, got the money, let him go, and is returning now!"

"He plans to send the money back first, then go to Quanzhou to bring soldiers and supplies, and then go to that country called Ah San!"

The old man deserves to be the emperor.

Telling lies as if they were true.

While telling nonsense lies, he stuffed the memorial into his arms, and he didn't have the slightest intention of showing it to Zhu Pangpang.

Reaching out to pick up the little guy, the old man waved at Zhu Pangpang.

"That's the way it is. I will go to Peiping when the little boy comes back in a few days. I will leave the family affairs to you. You can go back first!"

Zhu Pangpang left speechlessly.

Does the old man think he is stupid? He would be a ghost if he didn't hear this lie full of loopholes.

Zhu Pangpang was very tired. He felt that he was not like a son or a father at all.

No matter what these two men do, they are on guard against themselves, as if they are outsiders.

Is he that pedantic?
This kind of thing is good for Daming, and as long as the trouble is not too big, he will turn a blind eye.

He is the prince of Ming Dynasty, not the prince of the world.

"Ugh!"

Walking out of Shang's study, Zhu Pangpang looked back and sighed.

Ever since the second and third child went to the fiefdom, Zhu Pangpang suddenly found that life has become boring.

In the past, when the second and third child were together, the three brothers often bickered together.

Although he is often bullied by his two brothers, he lives happily and happily.

But since the second and third child went to the fiefdom, no one usually quarreled with him.

The daughter-in-law couldn't take care of her grandson during this time, so she became obsessed with mahjong. Every day, she played mahjong with several other daughter-in-laws, and there was no one in sight.

Apart from meeting in the morning, the daughter-in-law is usually busy with the chamber of commerce.

The Bachelor of Baimaoge was sent away by himself again, and now he is being raised by a daughter-in-law, and he is embarrassed to come back.

Whether the grandson will come back at the old man's place, he doesn't need to worry about the country's political affairs.

This caused Zhu Pangpang to read books in a daze by himself, except for getting up in the morning for running and exercising.

He wanted this kind of life very much before, and he thought it would be good to be quiet and quiet.

But after more than a month of silence, Zhu Pangpang suddenly felt a little lonely and cold.

"I really envy that brat, who runs overseas every day and can see the customs and customs of foreign countries. It would be great if I could meet and open my eyes!"

On the way back to the East Palace, Zhu Pangpang said depressedly while walking.

Thinking of Zhu Zhangui who was wandering around overseas, Zhu Pangpang felt a burst of envy.

To be honest, he has never even seen the sea since he grew up so big.

If he had the opportunity, he really wanted to go to the beach to see and see, and feel the grandeur of the sea and sky line that his son said.

"Yeah, why can't I be with that brat, that brat is very reckless, this war is related to the lifeblood of the country, if no one is looking at this brat, how can he be killed easily? manage!"

Zhu Pangpang stopped abruptly, and had a bold idea in his heart that he had never had since birth.

That is, he also wants to go overseas, and he also wants to see the scenery of foreign countries.

Although the old man is old now, it is no problem to live another five or six years.

Since the old man is in good health, it shouldn't be a problem for him to go out for a year and see the scenery outside.

The more he thought about Zhu Pangpang, the more excited he became, and finally he really went to find the old man.

But half a day later, he was scolded by the old man.

In the words of the old man, if the prince of a dignified country doesn't study government affairs well, he will run around every day.

After scolding, the old man stroked his chin and thought about it, then added something.

"But I think what you said is right. This war is related to the lifeblood of the country, and it is related to the future granary of my Ming Dynasty. I am really worried that no one will look at that brat!"

After finishing speaking, the old man slapped his thigh and decided not to go to Peiping, but to go overseas with Zhu Zhangui.

If Zhu Pangpang didn't say anything, the old man really didn't have the idea of ​​going overseas.

When Zhu Zhangui proposed the idea of ​​defeating the Three Kingdoms, he was only thinking about how much he would have to pay, and what benefits it would bring to Daming in the future after winning.

I never thought of going there in person.

As a result, Zhu Pangpang mentioned this today, and the old man immediately reacted.

Why do I always want to go north?

The sea is so vast, and there are countless wealth, why don't I go and see it?
Besides, I am not too young now, and I don't have a few years to live.

Do I really want to end my life in government affairs in this life?

The old man was a little reconciled.

So after Zhu Pangpang mentioned it today, he decided to become the first emperor in Chinese history to cross the sea.

If this cross-sea expedition has achieved a great victory, and brought endless benefits to future generations.

Then Zhu Di ranked second among Emperor Wu, and no one dared to rank first.

Coupled with the establishment of Xinxue, Daming's future hundred-year plan.

A hundred years after Zhu Di, he went down and met his ancestors and Lao Zhu, so he can proudly say that.

Among the emperors in Chinese history, Zhu Di's achievements are only comparable to that of the First Emperor.

Han Wu, Tang Zong, and Song Zu are simply not qualified to compare with him.

The more I think about the old man, the more excited he becomes.

In the end, the eldest son was driven away, and then the six ministers and cabinet bachelors were summoned to announce the news.

At the beginning, everyone objected, but the old man said, if I die outside, the crown prince will succeed immediately, and anyone who dares to object is treason.

Almost all civil servants are princelings.

The old man was determined to leave, and he had already spoken to this point, and no one stopped him anymore.

However, the ministers have a request, that is, Zhu Di must bring an important minister with him, and also select some soldiers and horses from the Three Thousand Battalion and the Five Army Battalion as personal guards.

The old man, who was only thinking about going to sea to fight, agreed to everyone's request without even thinking about it.

When choosing the important ministers to accompany him, Xia Yuanji jumped up and down, constantly recommending himself and yelling for him to go.

Later, after arguing with everyone and almost breaking out in martial arts, the old man finally convinced everyone.

The reason he finally convinced everyone was.

There is gold and grain everywhere in the Three Kingdoms, and the emperor and His Highness the grandson are masters of extravagance.

If you don't send a person who is good at calculating and calculating to manage, it is estimated that those things will not be brought back, and they will be almost defeated.

He successfully convinced everyone with this reason, but Yang Pu from the cabinet said that he would go too.

In his words.

When fighting a war, someone must give advice, and the territory won also needs someone to manage it.

Xia Yuanji is in charge of money and food, so he will be in charge of managing these things.

After half a day of discussion, the people who traveled this time were completely settled.

Zhu Di, who is the leader, Xia Yuanji, the household minister in charge of money and food management, and Yang Pu, a cabinet bachelor who is in charge of making suggestions and managing the planning of new land.

And Zhang Fu, the commander of the Fifth Army Battalion, led the soldiers of the [-] Army Battalion and the Three Thousand Battalion to follow.

At the same time, the Ministry of Officials selected 100 outstanding alternate officials to set off with the army. In the future, these people will be the officials who will manage the outer territories.

In order for someone to sign up voluntarily, the old man thought about it and offered a huge reward.

Officials who will be officials in the three countries in the future will be rotated every five years.

After returning to Beijing to report on his duties, the official is promoted to a higher level, and there are good places that need to be allocated first by officials.

And the salary has directly increased by 10 times.

When an official is an official abroad, these salaries will be sent directly to his family.

All the food, drink and lodging of officials outside are borne by the imperial court.

After the news spread that afternoon.

Those scholars who only passed the Juren examination but failed to pass the Jinshi examination suddenly became a sensation.

Although the place to be an official is far away and the culture and language are difficult, the conditions are really attractive.

After these people passed the Juren examination, Jinshi couldn't pass the examination.

Although juren in the Ming Dynasty were also qualified to select officials, the problem was that the most important thing in the Ming Dynasty was people who could be officials.

If these people don't care and have no money to bribe, they will never even think about being elected as officials in this life.

Even if they are selected, they are still some remote counties.

The imperial examination was just finished last year. If the emperor hadn't let Enke go, he would have to wait for three years.

Three years and three years, how could they have so much time.

Even if they can afford to wait, the family members can't afford to wait.

What's more, they can't guarantee that they will pass the next imperial examination.

Instead of waiting for three years or even six years, or even longer, it is better to follow the emperor to fight overseas.

When you get there, you will be a county magistrate at worst. As long as you come back after staying for 5 years, you can become a magistrate.

The more you want to lift people, the more cost-effective it is.

Before dark that day, the Ministry of Officials received more than 500 self-recommendation letters.

After discussion and selection by several big bosses in the official department, 100 places were determined.
