Daming: I, Yang Xian, really govern Yang!

Chapter 223 Roast Goose
  The lifting of the maritime ban was definitely a direct shot in the arm for the Ming Dynasty's economic situation.

For businessmen across the country, many businesses that were previously unavailable are now open to business.

Opportunities and challenges coexist!
  Especially the wealthy businessmen in the Jiangnan area were very happy.

Everyone is shouting in their hearts that they finally have a chance to make a fortune!
  The current prosperity of the Ming Dynasty's national power will definitely be a crushing blow to those small overseas countries.

But what they didn't know was that they were still cheering.

Shipbuilding has already begun at Mingji Trading Company's shipyard.

Yang Xian exchanged the large ship design drawings directly from the system. This ship Yang Xian planned to directly use the latest steam power.

After the sea ban was lifted, it was like there were huge cake islands in the sea.

The businessmen of Ming Dynasty were like fishes, big or small, and they rushed towards the cakes crazily smelling the sweet smell of cakes.

What they didn't notice was that a huge shadow enveloped them under the sea level.

It was a giant whale.

Mingji is this giant whale, ready to swallow everything at any time!
  He wields soldiers in troubled times, and he wields gold in prosperous times!
  This sentence will never go out of style.

In a prosperous age, money is the weapon in your hand, and many things must be planned in advance.

After several months.

The preparations for the Ming Dynasty Navy were finally completed, and more than [-] warships were all delivered as scheduled and launched into the sea.

Zhu Yuanzhang has been waiting for this moment for a long time.

If the problem of the Ming Dynasty treasure banknotes is not solved for a day, it will be like a time bomb beside him, and Zhu Yuanzhang will not be able to sleep peacefully for a day.

This is especially true since this disaster was planted by himself.

The question before Zhu Yuanzhang now is who to send out.

He really has no reliable naval generals under his command.

"How about letting Yang Qing go?" Zhu Biao suggested.

In his mind, Yang Xian was omnipotent, even though Yang Xian had never shown any talent in water warfare before.

Zhu Yuanzhang did not respond.

It's not that he doubts Yang Xian's ability, but from a balanced perspective as an emperor, he doesn't want Yang Xian to perform meritorious services in a short period of time.

Even if he wanted to confer a king with a different surname, Zhu Yuanzhang did not want to start with Yang Xian.

Zhu Yuanzhang thought for a long time and finally made a decision.

"Let Tiande lead the troops this time."

He paused, and then said: "Let the second brother go with us. Wasn't he full of complaints before? Let's give him another chance. If he doesn't perform well this time, then it's no one else's fault."

Except for his family.

The person Zhu Yuanzhang trusted the most was always Xu Da.

This has nothing to do with ability. Even if Yang Xian's ability is ten or a hundred times stronger than now, this will not change.

After making up his mind, Zhu Yuanzhang asked Queen Ma to prepare a family banquet in the palace, invited Xu Da to the banquet, and also called Zhu Biao and Zhu Chong to accompany him.

Zhu Yuanzhang just glanced at it.

Zhu Ming, who was sitting aside, immediately understood, stood up, picked up the wine bottle, and started pouring wine for Xu Da. "I can't do it, I can't do it, His Highness the Second Prince has betrayed a minor minister." Xu Da said.

"No problem." Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and waved his hand, signaling Xu Da to sit down safely. "Tiande, today is a family banquet. It's different from the one in the court. The second brother is your nephew. From now on, he will be your soldier, so you can sit back and relax."

"Here, give it to Uncle Tiande."

"Okay." Zhu Ming smiled and filled the wine glass in front of Xu Da.

"Okay, okay, you're full too." Xu Da said with a smile.

Zhu Fang filled Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao's glasses with wine respectively, and finally returned to his seat to pour wine for himself.

"Here comes the roast goose." Before she finished speaking, Queen Ma personally came out with a large pot of roast goose, placed it on the table, looked at Xu Da and said with a smile. "It's not too late, Tiande, I made it specially for you."

"Come on, Tiande, haven't you been good at this since you were a child?" Zhu Yuanzhang said with a smile.

Seeing the roast goose, Xu Da immediately had a smile on his face. As long as he smelled the fragrance, he felt comfortable all over.

But soon the smile on Xu Da's face faded, and he stood up directly, thanking him and saying: "Thank you, Queen Mother."

"We said it was a family banquet, Tiande, if you do this again, we will be angry." Zhu Yuanzhang said.

"I have been given banquets by Your Majesty for countless times. And the roast goose cooked by the Queen has been eaten three times in the past few years."

"In the seventeenth year of Zhizheng, Chen Youliang invaded Yingtian. Your Majesty asked me to set up an ambush with the King of Kaiping at Jiuhua Mountain. When I saw him off, your Majesty told me that I would escape death in this battle. This is the first time that I have eaten roast goose cooked by the Queen." Speaking of this, Xu Da raised his head and glanced at Queen Ma.

Queen Ma smiled and nodded. Even after so many years, the scene at that time is still vivid in her mind.

Xu Da then spoke: "In the twenty-fifth year of Zhengzheng, I led troops to attack Zhang Shicheng. Your Majesty told me that if we win this battle, Jiangnan will be settled from now on. This is the second time."

Zhu Yuanzhang just looked at Xu Da with a smile.

"In the first year of Wu, His Majesty sent his ministers and King Kaiping to lead an army of twenty-five to attack Dadu. That was the third time."

"Now, this is the fourth time."

"Your Majesty, do you have anything difficult for me to do right now?"

Xu Da and Zhu Yuanzhang are indeed as close as brothers, and they know their good big brother very well.

Zhu Yuanzhang also wanted Xu Da to sit down and eat first.

"Your Majesty, please speak first."

"Then let me tell you directly, Tiande, you should know that I have reorganized the navy in the past few months and spent a lot of money to build [-] brand new warships." Zhu Yuanzhang said.

Xu Da nodded and said: "Your Majesty is preparing for an overseas expedition. Where is the target? Japan?"

"Exactly."

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded. He stopped hiding his brother and said directly: "There is a huge silver mine in Japan, which is of great significance to our Ming Dynasty. I plan to send troops overseas to directly occupy it."

"You also know that since Yu Tingyu and Liao Yongan left, our Ming Dynasty Navy has never produced an outstanding naval general. After thinking about it, I finally felt that it is most appropriate to send you there. The original Chaohu Navy The team members will obey you."

"Of course, this battle is risky. After all, the overseas expedition is not on our territory. Natural disasters and man-made disasters, and anything can happen on the vast sea. The former Yuan Dynasty was so powerful at the time, but the Yuan Shizu sent troops to Japan several times, but in the end they all failed. , Returned in vain."

After hearing Zhu Yuanzhang's truth, Xu Da's worried heart was relieved.

"I thought it was something. As long as it's about war, Xu Tiande has never been afraid. I'll take over your majesty's job." Xu Da said loudly.
