Ming Dynasty: The poisonous imperial teacher, Zhu Yuanzhang advised me to be kind

Chapter 170 Hu Weiyong sees through Chu Nan's plan. Chu Nan is so vicious! So scary!

"Hi!" After hearing what Taro Kojima said, the Japanese pirate immediately went out and arranged people to investigate the situation.

"That's great." Seeing this situation, Taro Kojima's face was full of joy.

"Now, we are going to be rich. With so much money, we can build armor, weapons, and ships. This way, we will be even more powerful!"

"Yoshi!" After hearing what Taro Kojima said, the Japanese pirate leaders present all nodded happily.

"Kojima-kun, this is great! Now we can snatch more women and even occupy this place and become the king!"

"By then, neither the Ming Dynasty nor Japan will be able to do anything to us!"

"Yoshi, Yoshi!" All the leaders started shouting excitedly when they heard this.

Only Hu Lu frowned. He was really worried about Hu Weiyong. Was it really the right idea to choose to cooperate with this group of people?

He didn't even know if the Taizhou incident was a trap, so arrogant? What big deal could he achieve? But he didn't say anything, after all, this was someone else's territory.

Although he didn't say it, he was still very worried, so he arranged for his men to rush back to Nanjing to tell Hu Weiyong the news.

……

The news was transmitted very quickly, with fast boats and horses traveling along the way, and it reached Nanjing in less than five days.

The residence of Hu Weiyong.

Hu Weiyong was drinking tea leisurely, with four beautiful concubines serving him behind him, massaging his legs and shoulders, and he was enjoying the treatment of a vegetative patient.

The news he received in the past few days made him very satisfied. All actions were developing as he expected, so how could he not be happy.

"Prime Minister Hu!" But just when he was happy, Tu Jie came over and looked at Hu Weiyong with a happy expression.

"A letter from the east, great news!"

"What!" Hearing this, Hu Weiyong woke up immediately, then winked at the maids on both sides, and then they retreated immediately.

Then Hu Weiyong brought Tu Jie to the secret room. He looked delighted and said, "What's going on? Tell me!"

"Yes!" Tu Jie said immediately after hearing it.

"Prime Minister Hu, the situation is like this. Hu Lu sent a message saying that Taizhou will hold a jade fair soon. Many dignitaries from the coastal areas will be there to buy jade, and they will definitely bring a lot of money."

"The Japanese pirates are planning to attack Taizhou City and rob these dignitaries. This way they will make a lot of money. By then, the strength of these Japanese pirates will be even stronger, and it will be easier to contain the Ming border troops."

"There is such a thing!" Hu Weiyong was surprised when he heard this.

Wouldn't the strength of these Japanese pirates be greatly enhanced by this looting? That would be a good thing, and it would be very beneficial to Hu Weiyong.

"Okay, let them do it!" Hu Weiyong supported the plan.

"But." But he remembered something else and frowned.

"There's a meeting going on in Taizhou City, and with so many dignitaries there, there must be a lot of troops stationed there to defend it, right? The Japanese pirates only have so few people and so little fighting power, can they take over Taizhou City?"

Hu Weiyong was somewhat worried. He was worried that these Japanese pirates might not be able to rob Taizhou and be destroyed while attacking the city. That would be a loss.

"Minister Hu is really worrying too much." But after hearing Hu Weiyong's words, Tu Jie laughed.

"Hu Lu and his team were also worried about this before, but later they sent people to investigate. Although many dignitaries attended the Taizhou Jade Fair, most of the money they used was dirty money, embezzled."

"And your majesty has been investigating corruption recently, and the investigation is so strict, so how dare they go to Taizhou with such fanfare?"

"So they brought some guards to protect themselves. The guards of the dignitaries probably numbered tens of thousands in total, but they had no armor, no long weapons, and no firearms." "Moreover, they were not under the command of each other, and once they started fighting, it would be extremely chaotic, so they were definitely no match for the pirates."

"I see. That's fine then." After listening to Tu Jie's words, Hu Weiyong nodded seriously.

If this is the case, Taizhou City is indeed worth a try.

"Okay." Seeing that Hu Weiyong agreed, Tu Jie turned around and was about to tell Hu Lu the news.

"Wait a minute!!!"

But just when Tu Jie was about to leave, Hu Weiyong suddenly thought of something, and then his eyes widened and he looked at Tu Jie with horror.

"No, it's a scam!"

"What?" Tu Jie was incredulous when he saw Hu Weiyong like this. What a trick?
He didn't understand: "Prime Minister Hu, what's going on? Is this not going to work?"

"Of course not!" Hu Weiyong was very smart, so he figured everything out in an instant. He looked at Tu Jie with an impatient expression.

"Tu Jie, you know how hard Zhu Yuanzhang fought against corruption. His Jinyiwei have infiltrated so deeply."

"But, Taizhou made such a big move, but the court didn't react at all? What does this mean!"

"This!" Tu Jie was not a fool. After hearing Hu Weiyong's suggestion, he reacted and his eyes widened.

"Is this a trap set by your majesty?"

"Very likely!" Hu Weiyong's face also became extremely terrifying.

"Your Majesty often uses this kind of trap to trick people. Haven't the Northern Yuan people been tricked several times? And Your Majesty wanted to deal with the Japanese before, but he had no way."

"But now, I feel that it's not that he doesn't have a solution, but that he didn't tell it. This plan should be Zhu Yuanzhang's solution!"

"He took advantage of the pirates' desire to rob the rich and powerful, and set up a scheme that would not only destroy the pirates but also deal with the corrupt officials. It was really killing two birds with one stone!"

The more Hu Weiyong thought about it from Zhu Yuanzhang's perspective, the more he thought it made sense. This must be Zhu Yuanzhang's strategy.

"This..." Tu Jie widened his eyes, unable to believe it.

"Your Majesty is not so wise, is he?"

"You underestimate His Majesty!" Hu Weiyong shook his head when he heard Tu Jie's words.

"Your Majesty is a very scary person, his schemes are unfathomable, if you dare to underestimate him, you will die without knowing how you died."

"And even if Your Majesty can't come up with this plan, the people around Your Majesty may not be able to do so either."

"Minister Hu, could it be that what you are talking about is..." Tu Jie was shocked.

"Yes! It must be that Chu Nan!" Hu Weiyong's eyes glowed red.

Such a vicious plan must have been thought up by Chu Nan.

You are so good, Chu Nan. You almost made Zhu Yuanzhang conspire with the Japanese pirates. You are too vicious!
But Hu Weiyong had no time to hate Chu Nan, and said to Tu Jie: "Hurry up, tell Hu Lu the news and let the Japanese pirates retreat immediately, otherwise everything will be over!"

"Yes!" Tu Jie also went there immediately.

Hu Weiyong looked at Tu Jie's leaving figure with fear in his eyes. Chu Nan was really too scary. He hoped that everything would be in time.
