Chapter 332 Zhu Di's Massacre Order! The Gears of War Are Turning!

Jian'an County.

The Dusi Yamen.

Shen Ren's office.

"Sir, I just received news that Chen Zuyi will convene all pirates to discuss matters on Jilong Island. The news shows that he seems to want to deal with the King of Yan..."

Shen Ren listened to the information reported by his subordinates, frowned slightly, stood up, and snatched the letter from his subordinates.

He walked to the map of Fujian while looking at it.

After a moment, he raised his hand and pointed at Min County, "If the pirates really take action, it must be Min County!"

In fact, this is all nonsense!

The pirates' troops are good enough to plunder the coast.

There is no way they can rush to Jian'an.

To teach the King of Yan a lesson, it must be Min County in the coastal area.

He said this nonsense just to relieve the urge to curse in his chest.

He didn't believe that this matter had nothing to do with the Fujian tyrants and the governor Ye Mao!

In recent years, Ye Mao has been in charge of the people and he has been in charge of the army.

The two cooperated in Fujian.

Even if he didn't have a definite handle, he had heard about some of Ye Mao's things.

This bastard wanted to target the King of Yan, and he didn't stop him.

But he couldn't be involved!

As the highest military commander in Fujian, if he did nothing during the Japanese pirates' plunder, the court would hold him accountable!

But now he is rushing to lead his troops to reinforce the King of Yan and help the King of Yan scare off the pirates.

Will it lay hidden dangers for his future career?

He has been in Fujian for these years.

How many local tyrants want to corrupt him.

For long-term considerations, he resolutely rejected the white silver and all kinds of women in front of him.

Of course, in order not to offend these tyrants.

He also turned a blind eye to the brothers below accepting bribes.

There is no way, these tyrants can only show off their power in Fujian.

But they can get in touch with some big figures in the court by twisting and turning.

He just wants to be a pure general, just want to lead troops, and get promoted by military merit, and don't want to offend these people.

As for the brothers below.

If he is too strict, the brothers will resent.

You can't just stop others from making money if you don't want to make money yourself, right?

For the sake of his long-term future, he resisted the corruption of money and beauty.

Now, this group of people is forcing him to get too close to Zhu Silang and be misunderstood by the supporters of the prince?

Years of persistence, in vain?

Why did the King of Yan come to Fujian?

Shen Ren was very annoyed.

"Dusi, what should we do? Pretend that we didn't receive the news?"

The confidant asked, interrupting Shen Ren's thoughts.

Shen Ren pondered for a moment, turned his head and ordered: "Go and send a message to the other five guards except the coastal defense line. Each guard will send a troop to gather in Jian'an. They haven't fought for many years. Let each guard find the feeling."

Seeing the confidant frowned in confusion.

Shen Ren didn't explain either.

He didn't want to rush to Min County now, and didn't want to give others the appearance that he had a close relationship with the King of Yan and supported the King of Yan.

Gather troops slowly.

After the Japanese pirates landed in Min County and fought with the King of Yan.

It was his duty to mobilize the troops again.

But he couldn't pretend that he hadn't received the news.

What if the pirates went crazy and were blinded by the benefits of plundering and rushed out of Min County?

If he allowed the pirates to land in Min County, he would inevitably be reprimanded by His Majesty.

If the pirates were allowed to rush into other counties from Min County.

That would be a big sin.

Moreover, as a general, he would be condemned by his conscience if he allowed the pirates to land in Min County.

But the power field is so helpless.

He could only weigh the pros and cons and sacrifice the people of Min County.

'If the officials of the court were all like me, it would be great. '

Shen Ren watched his confidant leave and silently comforted himself.

...

Shen Garden in Zhouzhuang.

The eldest son of the first house and the head of the Shen family.

Shen Mao's study.

The three brothers Shen Mao, Shen Rong and Shen Wang were all there.

After Gu Xuewen sneaked back from Jian'an, he alarmed the three.

At this moment, Gu Xuewen was talking about what he saw and heard in Jianan.

"Brother, Zhu Silang can't accomplish anything. The governor of Fujian Province is ignoring him. The Fujian Dusi wants to keep a distance from him. In such a big Fujian, there is only one small Jiang family..."

...

"The most ridiculous thing is that Zhu Silang has a lot of talent, but he is a person without ambition. He actually teaches the grandson without reservation..."

...

The three brothers Shen Mao frowned.

Shen Mao couldn't help it and interrupted Gu Xuewen in a deep voice: "Xuewen, did you call Zhu Silang?"

Gu Xuewen quickly restrained himself, "Brother, I know I was wrong. It's really this King Yan who is hopeless and makes people anxious."

As soon as he finished speaking, he turned his head and looked at Shen Wang, "Third brother, Shen Zhi is now being drugged by King Yan, and his mind is hot. He actually wants to bet everything of the Shen family's third branch on King Yan. Don't get excited with him!"

"It's best to write a letter and call Shen Zhi back immediately. If not, send someone to tie him up!"

"We know, you've been tired all the way, go down and rest first."

After Shen Mao sent Gu Xuewen away, he turned his head, "Third brother, Shen Zhi wants to bet the entire third branch, what do you think?"

"Although Xuewen is a little unreasonable, I think what he said makes some sense." Without waiting for Shen Wang to speak, Shen Rong took the lead in expressing his opinion.

Shen Wang moved his lips.

Look at his eldest brother and second brother.

Suddenly understood.

The eldest and second brothers did not want the three branches of the Shen family to bet everything on Prince Yan.

This meant that the Shen family had to split up.

Although each of the three branches was responsible for a part of the business, they were responsible for their own profits and losses.

But the interests between them are very deep.

The purpose of dividing the family is to separate them. Even if something happens to King Yan in the future, and the third family becomes unlucky, it will not affect the entire Shen family.

But if divided like this, the business of the first and second houses will definitely be affected.

To be honest, after reading the eldest son’s letter.

He wanted to stake the entire Shen family.

First of all, he felt that if he stayed in the Ming Dynasty, the Shen family would only continue to decline step by step, and there would be no development prospects.

Secondly, he did not think that the current emperor or the prince had the courage to initiate a drastic transformation in the Ming Dynasty.

In the end, it was achieved, rural village community + shareholding business model + opening up the sea.

"Eldest brother, second brother, I will not agree to the separation of families." Shen Wang swallowed what he wanted to say and said with a smile: "Shen Zhi wants to make trouble, so I will give him his share and let him make the trouble on his own... "

The eldest brother and the second brother obviously disagreed with the separation.

Strong points.

Brothers must turn against each other.

Simply give the eldest son more money and support.

Let the eldest son go and follow King Yan.

When King Yan goes to sea, the worst possible outcome is that the three families will give up their current stall.

No more, leave it all to the eldest brother and the second brother.

Shen Mao and Shen Rong breathed a sigh of relief and smiled, "Lao San, please remind Shen Zhi that it doesn't matter if you lose all your money, but you must protect yourself. Whether King Yan can gain a foothold in Fujian is unknown."

Shen Wang smiled and agreed perfunctorily...

…

Min County.

Zhu Di and Xu Huizu arrived the next day.

Five navy warships sailed into the Minjiang River from the estuary.

County government office.

study.

A young general stood in front of Zhu Di, "Yu Jing, a humble official, pays homage to His Highness King Yan!"

Zhu Di couldn't help but smile when he looked at the young naval officer in front of him who was about his age and looked at him curiously.

Yu Jing!

The nephew of Yu Tonghai, Duke of Guo!

In the Ming Dynasty's military, a typical Chaohu system!

The naval generals of the Ming Dynasty were mainly controlled by generals from the Chaohu Department.

Mainly two families.

Yu family.

Liao family.

Among them, the Yu family is the most powerful.

Historically, all three generations of the Yu family were granted the title of Duke!

The old man also commented: Among the generals of the Chaohu Navy, Yu Tonghai is the strongest!

It can be said that the Yu family is not as famous as Lan Yu and Taishan.

But this family definitely has a very special position in the history of the Ming Navy.

So, historically.

Yu stood on the opposite side of 'him' Jingnan.

After ‘he’ wins.

Apart from reducing their rank, the Yu family was not severely punished.

Yu Jing inherited the title of his father. After Jingnan, he was demoted and renamed the Commander of Jianchang.

To put it bluntly, the Yu family has too much influence in the Ming Navy system and cannot be punished too harshly.

Otherwise it will be detrimental to the stability of the Navy.

Unexpectedly, the old man sent Yu Jing to him.

Not long after the Liaodong Navy surrendered, the old man sent Yu Jing.

From this, we can also see that the Yu family has an irreplaceable position in the Ming Navy system.

Ten years of army, one hundred years of navy.

Although this is a bit exaggerated now, it is not an exaggeration.

The Yu family is actually just proficient in water warfare in rivers and lakes.

Gathering his thoughts, he smiled and pointed to the chair next to him, "It's been a bumpy ride, so sit down and talk."

"Thank you, Your Highness."

After Yu Jing thanked him, he sat down on the chair pointed by Zhu Di.

Out of the corner of his eye, he spied on Zhu Di.

He had heard all about this prince's deeds.

In the ninth year of Hongwu's reign, when he first heard about it in the army, he laughed it off.

But later, when I heard about this man's deeds, he was already deeply involved in Liaodong.

At that time, they were a group of military brothers who had nothing to do on the boat all day long, and even got a map of Liaodong and the grassland to analyze.

When this person rushed into the grassland.

Everyone unanimously concluded that the prince would die heroically.

Either put down your dignity, surrender to Bei Yuan, and wait for the court to pay the price for redemption.

He never expected that this person would unexpectedly come back.

And brought back incredible results!

At that time, he wanted to take a closer look.

Unfortunately, I had responsibilities at the time.

Later, news came one after another about this person who was sprinting for the imperial examination.

It's even more shocking.

…

Just when I was becoming more and more curious about this prince.

Unexpectedly, he received an order from His Majesty to go to Liaodong, receive five warships, and follow him.

According to my uncle, second uncle, and father.

He accepted the order.

It means that he will be the prince's person from now on.

Once the prince cannot tolerate this person.

The family also needs to draw clear boundaries with him.

At that time, his fathers asked him to think carefully.

It didn't take him long to decide.

First, I want to see the prince up close.

He is a soldier.

I admire this kind of strong man who can break out from a group of 200,000 cavalry to fight together.

Secondly, he also wants to command the battleship and charge on the sea!

Daming Navy, except Liaodong Bay.

The rest of the time, they are in the rivers, seas and lakes offshore.

Said he was a waterman.

It might as well be said that he is a master of rivers and lakes.

It’s so boring!

The navy should dominate the sea!

Unfortunately, the imperial court's national policy decided that as long as he stayed in the Ming Dynasty, it would be difficult to realize this wish.

It's different now.

It is reported that His Majesty promised the whole world to King Yan.

King Yan can conquer any place in the world that is not part of the Ming Dynasty at will!

King Yan is so good, he should be able to realize his dream of commanding hundreds of giant warships, sailing across the sea, and conquering the unconquered, which makes people's blood boil just thinking about it, right?

"Yu Jing..."

Zhu Di's sudden voice interrupted Yu Jing's thoughts.

Yu Jing was about to get up.

Zhu Di pressed his hand and asked with a smile: "We have a mission now. Do your five warships have the strength to fight?"

'So fast? ’

Yu Jing stood up suddenly and said excitedly: "Your Highness, please give the order! Although the five warships are small in size, we are not afraid of fighting. Water fighting requires courage!..."

Zhu Di couldn't help but be surprised when he looked at Yu Jing who was full of fighting spirit.

Water fighting is all about courage!

This statement has a bit of the British Royal Navy flavor.

Historically, if Yu Jing was employed, would the Ming Dynasty's navigation industry be different?

Zheng He is also very good.

But Zheng He was more of a Confucian scholar.

Not enough killing!

I don’t know what happened to Zheng He.

Historically, the eldest brother Muying conquered Yunnan in the 14th year of Hongwu.

But in this time and space, because he was in the grassland, Bei Yuan lost face.

This caused the King of Liang in the Northern Yuan Dynasty to provoke the Ming Dynasty.

The eldest brother Mu Ying captured Yunnan in the eleventh year of Hongwu.

Ever since his father told him that the way out for him was to develop overseas.

He also inquired about Zheng He in private.

However, this time, among the prisoners brought back from Yunnan by the elder brother, there was no one named Ma He.

It is not known whether he died in the war or whether his family members avoided the war.

In short, there were none among the prisoners.

…

Zhu Di stood up and came to a map put together by Fujian and Dongfan.

Dongfan map.

It was after he and Huizu arrived in Min County that they finally found him.

Clicking on Jilong Island, "We received news that Chen Zuyi, the King of the Four Seas, summoned pirates on Jilong Island... It seems that he wants to attack Min County..."

…

Yu Jing listened carefully.

…

"I want you to add something today. Set out in the evening and go to sea to hide. If the pirates really attack Min County, you can try your luck at Jilong Island. If the opponent's defense is weak, you can break into Jilong Island for me..."

Yu Jing immediately turned his head.

Staring at Zhu Di with bright eyes.

He is now more certain that he was right to choose to accept the emperor's order!

Look at this guy’s handiwork!

This is a naval battle!

If it were someone else, I'm afraid he would be asked to lead the navy brothers to defend the waters near Min County, right?

Or just avoid fighting.

In short, most people definitely don't have this kind of courage.

Directly dispatch five warships to try your luck outside!

‘Following King Yan to develop on the sea, as long as I don’t die, I will definitely be able to fulfill my dream of sailing on the sea! ’

Zhu Di didn't know what Yu Jing was thinking. He turned around, clenched his fists, and said with a hard face: "If Jilongyu's defense is really weak, and if you can break in and win, you can give me the entire Jilongyu, everyone, no matter what." All men, women, and children, if they are not fit to be taken as prisoners, will be killed!”

"Then set fire to the entire Jilong Island!"

Yu Jing's face turned slightly pale.

On the way here.

He took off his clothes and jumped from the boat into the sea. The water was cold, and King Yan's voice was cold even at this moment.

Not suitable for carrying, no matter men, women, old or young, kill them all!

He fought in battles.

But when he served in the Ming Navy.

The imperial court has pacified the world.

In the past, the most they could do was fight with the Yuan Dynasty navy in Liaodong Bay.

Or, within the territory of the Ming Dynasty, destroy those water bandits who were left over from the war and were unwilling to surrender to the court.

None of these wars were brutal.

It's not as cruel as King Yan's Zongheng Grassland.

King Yan is only nineteen years old, right?

Why are you so cold-blooded?

"Your Highness, there may be Han people on Jilong Island..."

He can be sure that there must be a lot of Han people in Jilong Island.

Although he became a vassal of pirates, he was still a Han citizen!

Zhu Di patted Yu Jing's shoulder, turned and stared at Jilong Island, "War is war, and war cannot tolerate mercy."

From ancient times to the present, there has been no mercy in war.

Not to mention a group of Han people from Jilong Island who fled the Central Plains many years ago.

It's in the Central Plains.

Fight for the world.

Frequent massacre of cities, has it been rare since ancient times?

"This is not an order, it is the maximum authority I give you. The reason for this is that I want to remove the pirates' lair on Jilong Island..."

Chen Zuyi based himself on Jilong Island.

Rely on two things.

Infrastructure built over many years.

And the population of Jilong Island has been obtained for many years.

Lose these.

It is impossible for Chen Zuyi to recover in a short time.

Jilong Island will also lose value in a short period of time.

If not.

Even if he defeats the pirates this time.

Pirates occupy Jilong Island and can harass Min County at any time.

If Fujian County wants to establish rural village cooperatives, it needs a stable environment.

And if he wants to build a naval army, he also needs a period of stability.

This time the pirates were severely damaged. If they can make another sneak attack, they will destroy Jilong Island.

This strait can be controlled by him in a short time.

Since we have no choice but to fight.

He wants to maximize his profits!

Strive for this time window.

Recruit yourself or recruit pirates to quickly expand your naval force.

Relying on Min County and Jilong Island, we will completely control the strait between Jilong Island and Fujian.

Then you can land on the island, sort out the villages that have settled on the island for thousands of years, and integrate your forces.

…

call!

Yu Jing secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

He thought it was an order.

Just have permission.

If he really couldn't capture them, he wouldn't show mercy for the sake of the long-term situation.

As the King of Yan said, there is no mercy in war.

Have mercy on these people.

What about the people of Min County?

If the pirates get angry and occupy Jilong Island and focus on Min County, the people of Min County will never have peace.

At that time, if someone adds fuel to the fire.

The people of Min County will vent their anger on the King of Yan and Xu Huizu, and even drive the King of Yan and Xu Huizu out of Min County!

The people can really do such a thing.

They are officials of the court, and they must first be responsible for tens of thousands of people in Min County.

"I understand, please rest assured, Your Highness!"

Zhu Di patted Yu Jing on the shoulder and told him: "If it's impossible, don't be stubborn. You are not familiar with Jilong Island. I will send Shen Zhi, the eldest son of the third room of the Shen family, to go to sea with you. Go and prepare."

"Yes!"

After receiving the order loudly, Yu Jing left quickly.

Later, with the support of Zhu Di and Xu Huizu, he bought a batch of supplies in Min County.

…

Evening.

On the bank of the Minjiang River.

Five not-so-large warships quietly docked.

Zhu Di personally saw Shen Zhi and Yu Jing off.

Shen Zhi pointed to the servant beside him and smiled confidently: "Don't worry, Your Highness. This servant beside me happened to be the ship manager of our family's caravan before. He is very familiar with the surrounding waters. As long as he is here, we will never get lost!"

Zhu Di looked at the middle-aged man behind Shen Zhi.

Nodding, "You can recruit such talents in advance. I have the right to trade with the sea. After this battle, as long as we win, we will also try to trade with the sea."

After talking to Shen Zhi for a few words.

Looking at Yu Jing, he reminded: "You are not familiar with this area of ​​water. After going out to sea, you should listen to Shen Zhi's opinions more."

"Yes!"

…

In the dark night.

Zhu Di and Xu Huizu stood on the shore, watching the five naval warships leave along the Minjiang River downstream.

…

The warships soon sailed into the sea from the estuary.

Yu Jing stood at the bow in armor, looking at the dark night.

Turning his head, he looked at Shen Zhi, "Is your Shen family going to turn to His Highness?"

Shen Zhi smiled bitterly and spread his hands: "I do want to, but my father is above me, and my father has my uncle and second uncle above me. My idea may not come true, but even if my family disagrees, I will set up my own business and follow the King of Yan..."

Then, Shen Zhi relayed Zhu Di's rural village + shareholding business model + opening the sea idea to Yu Jing.

Yu Jing opened his mouth slightly in shock.

After a while, he smiled bitterly and shook his head, "In the Ming Dynasty, there is too much resistance to do so, but as long as the King of Yan leaves the Ming Dynasty, it will be like a dragon returning to the sea!"

As a naval commander.

He can understand the traditional conservatism in the navy.

The navy is like this.

The entire Ming Dynasty is even more so.

Rural villages are okay.

The resistance is not too great.

But the shareholding business model, the comprehensive transformation of the Ming Dynasty, how many people's interests will be affected?

Not to mention merchants and gentry.

How many businesses are there in the secrets of the powerful officials in the court?

How many people have such courage?

Your Majesty?

The prince?

The current Ming Dynasty is already very good.

After the success of the rural villages, it will be even better.

He felt that His Majesty and the prince would never take the risk of carrying out a comprehensive transformation of the entire civilian level under such a good situation.

This model.

I am afraid that it can only exist in Jian'an and Minxian because of the brother-in-law and brother-in-law of the Prince of Yan and Xu Huizu.

It is unknown how long it can last after the two leave.

"However, after we go to sea with the Prince of Yan, as long as the Prince of Yan can make the decision, this matter will definitely succeed!"

Yu Jing laughed heartily.

He is now more confident about going to sea and conquering the world.

Under this model.

The Prince of Yan must not be short of money.

He can definitely afford a large navy!

It is said that His Majesty issued a death order that when the prince went north to destroy the Yuan Dynasty, he asked the Prince of Yan to lead 10,000 elite troops back to the court.

Perhaps, wait until that time.

He can command a navy...

No!

Not a navy.

An army of the sea!

He can command an army of the sea and send the King of Yan to the north. When the time comes, he will show off in front of his father, uncle and former colleagues.

They are the navy of rivers and lakes.

And he commands an army of the sea!

Shen Zhi shrank his neck, "Captain Yu, your eyes make me a little scared!"

I don't know what Yu Jing thought of.

Suddenly, when he looked at him, his eyes were hot.

I heard that these navy officers and soldiers have some special fetishes because it is not easy to contact women.

Shen Zhi subconsciously contracted his lower abdomen.

He doesn't have this fetish!

"Old Shen!" Yu Jing suddenly hugged Shen Zhi's shoulders, "You are the God of Wealth. In the future, you must work hard to make money. The scale of the brothers' warships depends on you!"

Huh!

Shen Zhi breathed a sigh of relief and wiped his sweat secretly, "Okay, okay..."

Fortunately, this guy doesn't have any special fetishes!

"When the King of Yan leads his troops back to Jinling in the future, I hope you can earn a sea army warship for the brothers, and we will land in Jinling from the Qinhuai River in style!"

...

Shen Zhi listened to Yu Jing's description and forgot about his special hobby. He couldn't help but imagine such a scene in his mind.

If it really works!

He will also go back to Jinling with him!

"Okay! We have an agreement!"

That night, a young man with a dream of large sea trade and a dream of a truly great navy shook hands and swore an oath, making an agreement...
