My father Zhu Gaoxu

Chapter 640 It’s not easy for Zhu Gaosui either

The foundry was in full swing, and silver ore was sent here. After smelting the required silver, it was poured into the mold, and soon one piece of silver was obtained.

The silver was cast into unique shapes, then counted by a dedicated person, and finally sent to the warehouse for storage. During this period, no one was allowed to use it. It would not be shipped to the Ming Dynasty until a certain amount was accumulated.

Zhu Gaosui looked at the pieces of silver being sent to the warehouse, and he was also very greedy, but he had no choice. There were officials stationed by the court in the silver mine. At most, he could only supervise, but he could not interfere in the management of the mine, let alone the management of the mine. Make money.

At this moment, Zhu Zhanxu was suddenly seen rushing over. When he saw Zhu Gaosui, he immediately cried out: "Dad, that Pingjiang Bo Chen Xuan is just like a stone in the pit - smelly and hard. No matter what I say, he is." Refuse to send troops!"

"What did Chen Xuan say?"

Zhu Gaosui was not angry when he heard this, but asked slowly.

Previously, Zhu Zhanji sent 2 troops to help Zhu Gaosui wipe out Japan. These troops were commanded by Pingjiang Bo Chen Xuan. However, Chen Xuan remained stationary after arriving in Japan, so Zhu Gaosui sent Zhu Zhanli to urge him. Now it seems that it is Hit a wall.

"Chen Xuan said that he will definitely comply with His Majesty's orders, but now the army is short of food and supplies, so he will not send troops until the logistics are available."

Zhu Zhannan said angrily.

"Didn't you tell him that we could provide some food and grass supplies so that he could send out troops earlier?"

Zhu Gaosui frowned and asked again.

"I've said it, but this Chen Xuan won't accept anything, even if we provide food and supplies. I think he is a coward and he doesn't dare to send troops to help us wipe out Japan!"

Zhu Zhan'an said angrily again.

In Zhu Zhan's view, there are many famous generals in the Ming Dynasty. Among other things, there are still some veteran generals in Jingnan who are still alive. However, Zhu Zhanji sent a little-known Chen Xuan to lead the army. Obviously, he did not pay attention to Japan. things.

"What do you know? When Chen Xuan was young, he went to conquer the southwest. He made outstanding achievements many times. He won consecutive battles along the way and was promoted to commander. Unfortunately, he was not an old minister of your grandpa. During the Jingnan period, grandpa Qin went to the Yangtze River. He just led his troops to surrender, so he only got a count, but when it comes to fighting skills, he is no worse than anyone else."

Zhu Gaosui glared at his son and reminded.

In his opinion, Zhu Zhanji sent Chen Xuan to Japan because he wanted to wipe out Japan as soon as possible and reach a deal with him.

"Okay, okay, everything you said is right, but what should we do now? If Chen Xuan doesn't send troops, will he just wait like this?"

Zhu Zhan'an looked anxious until the end.

According to their father and son's plan, since Iwami Silver Mine can't get involved, it is better to wipe out Japan as soon as possible. In this way, the entire Japan will become Zhu Gaosui's fiefdom, and their father and son will have a foundation.

Zhu Gaosui pondered for a moment, then raised his head and said, "Let's go! Take me to see this Chen Xuan. I want to see if he dares to refuse my order as King Zhao?"

"It should have been like this a long time ago. You and my uncle agreed at the beginning that the troops sent to Japan would be under your command. Chen Xuan and the others should have listened to you!"

When Zhu Zhanan heard this, he slapped his thigh excitedly and immediately left the mine with Zhu Gaosui.

Chen Xuan's army was stationed at the port of Shijian State. In order to transport the silver here, the Ming Dynasty built a port in Shijian State, named Shijian Port. Some merchant ships often came here to do business, so the port was still Considered prosperous.

It took Zhu Gaosui and his son more than a day on horseback to arrive at the military camp behind the port.When Chen Xuan learned that Zhu Gaosui was coming, he did not dare to neglect and immediately led his army to greet him.

After entering the hall of the military camp, Zhu Gaosui asked the others to retreat, and then said directly to Chen Xuan: "Uncle Ping Jiang, when do you plan to send troops?"

"Your Majesty, please calm down. It's not that the general won't send troops, but that the food and fodder haven't arrived yet, so we really can't send troops!"

Chen Xuan replied helplessly.

"Didn't I already say that I can provide part of the food and fodder? With your military strength, it will be easy to defeat the Japanese daimyo."

Zhu Gaosui frowned and said again very dissatisfied.

"Even if you, Your Majesty, can afford part of the food and grass, I am sending troops in a hurry this time. Of the 2 people under my command, [-] were recruited from Liaodong, [-] from the capital, and the last [-] from Japan. The garrison of the Chief Envoy and the three parties need to be coordinated, otherwise it will be difficult to command the troops, I hope you will be considerate, Your Majesty!"

Chen Xuan replied helplessly.

In fact, Chen Xuan was not evasive, what he said was the truth. No one expected that Zhu Zhanji had just ascended the throne and would immediately conquer Japan. Chen Xuan's troops had to be scrapped together to recruit 2 people. If If you fight without getting used to it, if you don't get into chaos, then that's called ghosts.

"Then how long does it take for you to build up your strength?"

Zhu Gaoxu asked impatiently. He thought that Chen Xuan would not dare to refuse if he showed up in person, but he did not expect that the other party was so incompetent that he could not even save his face.

"It will take a month at the earliest!"

Chen Xuan thought about it for a moment before speaking.

The reason why Chen Xuan was unwilling to send troops, apart from the issue of food and army running-in, was mainly due to his cautious character. It was his first time in Japan and he was not familiar with the situation here, so he wanted to use this month to get familiar with it. The situation in Japan also allows his soldiers to adapt to Japan's climate, water and soil.

These things may not seem like a big deal, but for the army, a small mistake may lead to the failure of a war. Chen Xuan is already over sixty years old, and he does not want his wise life to be ruined when he is old. Here in little Japan.

"Okay, I will wait for you for a month. If you don't send troops after one month, then don't blame me for being rude!"

Zhu Gaosui said that he slapped the table for the last time. His patience was limited. If Chen Xuan did not send troops again in a month, he would definitely submit a letter to him and let Zhu Zhanji comment on this theory.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will definitely send troops on time in one month!"

Chen Xuan patted his chest and promised, and then asked Zhu Gaosui to review the army hypocritically, but Zhu Gaosui was not so leisurely and turned around and left the military camp.

"Dad, do you really plan to wait for them for a month?"

On the way, Zhu Zhannan suddenly asked Zhu Gaosui.

"What should I do if I don't wait? Chen Xuan is very difficult to deal with, and Zhu Zhanji was forced to send troops, so even if I sue Chen Xuan, Zhu Zhanji probably won't do anything to him!"

Zhu Gaosui sighed and said that it was not easy for him now. He wanted to ask Zhu Zhanji for help but also had to be on guard against him. Sometimes he had to give in.
