Chapter 509 Mongolian Envoys Natuna's Victory Report, All Arrived in Nanjing!

"Hurry up!"

"Hurry up and board the ship. Our army cannot let the navy underestimate us. The navy has annihilated the Chen Dynasty navy, but their warships cannot reach land. The next battle depends on our army."

"Soldiers, many of you are new recruits. It is your first time to participate in actual combat. Are you afraid?"

"Don't be afraid! Don't be afraid! Don't be afraid!"

…

Yanjing, Naval Military Port Terminal.

The dark steel helmet rises and falls, and under the helmet are young faces.

The youngest is only eighteen or nineteen years old.

The oldest one is only twenty-four or five years old.

The new generation, young Yanhua soldiers, with high-spirited fighting spirit on their faces, carrying flintlock guns on their backs, wearing rubber-soled, high-top canvas boots, made a neat clicking sound.

Loudly shouted ‘Don’t be afraid! Don't be afraid! Don't be afraid! ’.

Board a hybrid commercial ship.

The steam transport ships belonging to the Navy and Army Logistics Department all followed the rescue team headed by Zhou Chao back to the Ming Dynasty.

Therefore, after receiving the order to set off for Malacca, the army could only follow Yanhua's mobilization system and immediately recruit merchant ships.

In this regard, maritime merchants actively cooperated.

The maritime merchants were not dissatisfied because they were drafted to transport troops and could only barely maintain transportation costs.

Even more so, due to the limited number of ships required for mobilization.

There are many merchant ships at sea.

Maritime merchants also came up with various ways to compete for this glorious mission.

Finally, the Maritime Chamber of Commerce had to step in to coordinate and distribute tasks.

The reason why maritime merchants are so active.

First of all, it was due to the businessmen's identification with the Yanhua regime and their sense of honor as a Yanhua person.

This situation is very common throughout Yanhua.

Secondly, defeating the Chen Dynasty this time will have great benefits for Yanhua's factory owners, maritime merchants, workers, and even farmers.

In recent years, Yanhua's industrial and commercial development has been greatly restricted by the Chen Dynasty's control of Malacca.

Once the Chen Dynasty is defeated.

The Strait of Malacca will be controlled by Yanhua.

Yanhua's goods can be easily transported to the more distant West.

This maritime Silk Road emerged from the Tang Dynasty.

Yanhua has been looking forward to it for many years.

Now, it’s finally time to put it into practice.

What's more, this war is a just war. After the Chen Dynasty is defeated, the suffering people of the Chen Dynasty will soon enjoy the same political and economic rights as the people of Yanhua!

…

Navy here.

Minister of the Navy Lu Zhen personally represented the navy and assisted the army in its departure.

Ye Cheng and other veterans who had retired with the rank of general also came to witness Yanhua's prosperous age.

Ye Cheng stood behind Lu Zhen, listening to the clamor of the middle and lower-level army generals trotting past in front of him, and couldn't help but laughed angrily: "Tan Yuan, Liu Sheng, be careful, I will sue the prince for sowing discord between the navy and the army!"

These two bastards.

In order to stimulate the army's fighting spirit, they actually used the navy as their gimmick.

Tan Yuan carried two golden stars on his shoulders and said with a sneer: "General Ye, it's almost the end of the year now. In the past few years, you good fellows of the Navy have replaced sixteen armored ships in one go. The spending is enough for us to arm a town..."

…

"This time, Yu Jing commanded sixteen armored ships and directly annihilated all 230 large and small warships of the Chen Dynasty. This result shocked the whole world!"

"Our Army has maintained two towns, four mixed associations, and one mixed cavalry association for so many years. Look at this troop dispatch, one town is still stranded in Xufu Province, and one mixed association is left in Yanjing. We can use it , there is only one town, three mixed infantry associations, and one mixed cavalry association..."

…

"Lao Liu and I can't help it. The brothers below are too aggressive in asking for progress..."

Ye Cheng glared at Tan Yuan, who was counting the army's belongings on his fingers.

He laughed and cursed: "Shut up, you idiot!"

However, he could not deny Tan Yuan's words.

The new ironclad ships equipped by the navy are indeed too expensive.

Just like Tan Yuan said.

The construction cost of an ironclad ship alone, not counting the maintenance costs during later use, is enough to arm an army town.

With the increase in steel production, the cost of covering the layer of steel plates is not huge.

The real high cost of ironclad ships is mainly concentrated in steam engines and new large-caliber and powerful naval guns.

The cost of a naval gun is comparable to the cost of building half an army artillery battalion!

An ironclad ship must be equipped with thirty such guns!

The production process of large-caliber and powerful artillery such as naval guns is many times more difficult than that of more powerful coastal defense guns.

Not to mention the steam engine.

Naval steam engine.

and the steam engine on the factory production line, although they are both called steam engines.

But the construction materials and construction techniques are far beyond the steam engines on the production line.

A naval steam engine is not a large boiler.

Let’s take the Marquis-class battleships currently equipped in the navy as an example.

The power cabin has four sets of steam engines, which can independently drive the four blades of the ironclad.

At the same time, they can also be combined in series to provide power for one paddle.

The complexity of this design alone has pushed up the cost several times.

That’s all.

To achieve better steam propulsion.

The four sets of steam engines all use small boilers.

The so-called small boiler is a high-pressure boiler above a combustion chamber, used to boil water, unlike the factory production line, which has only one huge boiler above the combustion chamber.

The boiler above the combustion chamber of the navy steam engine is composed of one hundred small boilers.

The high-temperature flame in the combustion chamber can heat the water in the boiler over a larger area through the gaps between the small boilers.

At the same time, in each small boiler, due to the small volume of water, the temperature rises quickly, and more steam can be produced.

...

In short, this set of processes is too complicated.

So much so that the construction cost of the ironclad ship is very scary.

Even with Yanhua's current wealth, the prince and the cabinet have gritted their teeth in the past two years, and built a total of 16 ironclad ships for the navy at a rate of eight ships per year!

Lu Zhen, who had been watching the army soldiers boarding the ship without speaking, turned his head.

He smiled at Tan Yuan and Liu Sheng, "Don't worry, I will not support Yu Jing's four-vertical and four-horizontal fleet plan."

The ironclad ship was built.

After seeing the power of the ironclad ship, Yu Jing came up with a four-vertical and four-horizontal fleet plan within the navy.

It is proposed to build four battle columns.

Each column should be equipped with eight ironclad ships, and the four columns should have a total of thirty-two ships.

Each column should be equipped with sixteen wooden transport ships powered by steam engines.

In Yu Jing's design.

In this way, each column can be equipped with reinforced transport ships using ordinary steam engines, which can ensure that a fleet can sail on the sea for half a year without land supplies.

I have to say.

Yu Jing's idea is really good.

A column fleet configured in this way.

It can almost represent Yanhua and walk in every corner of the ocean.

But Yanhua's current finances cannot afford this huge shipbuilding plan.

At the same time, it is also unable to support the navy to visit various countries around the sea to spread Yanhua's influence.

In addition, he believes that the technology of ironclad ships will definitely develop and progress in the future.

There is no need to use the navy's budget for shipbuilding plans all at once.

Facts have proved that the Yanhua Navy with sixteen ironclad ships is already the most powerful naval force.

Adding ironclad ships constitutes the theory of waste of force proposed by Ye Cheng and others.

"Our sixteen ironclad ships have achieved such brilliant results. I wonder what the prince and those who hate the prince will do after the news is reported back to the Central Plains..."

Lv Zhen's eyes flashed with worry.

He continued: "So, in the future, the navy will not add new ships, and a large part of the navy budget will be used to support the research of shipbuilding technology."

This is his idea.

Perhaps, at his age, he can no longer compare with the passionate middle-aged and young people like Yu Jing in the new naval warfare.

But he is more stable than Yu Jing and others, and considers more things.

This is also the reason why the prince retained him and let him serve as the Minister of the Navy when he was planning to retire with his sworn brothers.

At that time, the prince also commented on it.

Now, the navy provides part of the research funds for the shipyard to allow the shipyard to make technical reserves.

After the technical accumulation and significant progress, one or two test ships will be built.

After verification, continue research and continue to make technical reserves...

In this way, when the naval forces of other regimes catch up with the Yanhua Navy, they will find that Yanhua has come up with more advanced technology.

In this way, the technical advantage of the Yanhua Navy can be guaranteed.

It will not cause too much burden on the finances.

"This time, you fight well. As long as you fight well, I, the Minister of the Navy, will also support your army expansion in this year's year-end budget. I dare not promise anything else, at least I support your army and ensure that under the existing establishment, at least one more town will be expanded, plus a mixed brigade."

So far, the Yanhua Army has only two reorganized towns.

In the past, so many troops were not needed.

In addition, there are not many generals who can serve as town-level generals under the command of the prince.

At the beginning, the prince commanded a town himself, asked Tan Yuan to assist, and taught Tan Yuan hand in hand, and Tan Yuan barely had the ability to command a town.

The new army is different from the army of cold weapons.

It is more complicated.

After Liu Sheng came, the second reorganized town, the second town, was established.

In recent years, Zhou Lang, the commander of the mixed cavalry, has participated in the Luzon Purge War.

The Japanese War.

This time, he will also participate in the War to Destroy Chen.

Zhou Lang, a former small yamen servant in Jiangning County, has also been trained in his ability to lead troops, especially the ability to command cavalry.

It is time for Yanhua to establish a reorganized cavalry town as a strategic strike force.

At the same time.

Once the Chen Dynasty is destroyed.

A reorganized town must be stationed in the Chen Dynasty.

The current second town is bound to be transferred to the Chen Dynasty.

Moreover.

As the strong impact of this naval battle spreads.

He cannot predict what impact it will have on the Ming Dynasty, the prince and the prince's system.

In the future, how far will the Ming Dynasty, led by the prince Zhu Biao, go with the prince's Yanhua?

Prepare for a rainy day.

Taking advantage of the stable situation in these years, expanding the army is a must.

Now, the total strength of the Yanhua navy and army is 100,000.

Excluding more than 15,000 navy personnel.

The army only has 85,000 people.

If there is something dirty going on with the prince.

85,000 people are not enough.

Yanhua must have at least 200,000 infantry!

……

The army generals headed by Tan Yuan and Liu Sheng were all stunned by Lu Zhen's thinking.

They didn't expect that Lu Zhen would think so far ahead.

At least support the army and form a force of 200,000!

With such a force, even if it is to assist the prince to fight back to the Central Plains, I am afraid it can be tried, right?

Gulp!

Lu Zhen heard the sound of everyone swallowing saliva and smiled: "The prince is not interested in the Central Plains, we all know it. I also know that in fact, in recent years, everyone has seen our Yanhua being wronged, and the prince has always been unwilling to fully imitate and learn from Yanhua, so that the people of the Central Plains can live a good life. In fact, there are also temporary indignant thoughts in their hearts to fight back to the Central Plains."

Everyone couldn't help but laugh.

This kind of thought will indeed arise at some point, watching the Ming Dynasty treat Yanhua and the prince unfairly.

Watching the people of the Central Plains still have a hard time.

It will arise at a certain moment.

However, after calming down, everyone did not have this idea.

After all, they also watched the grandson grow up beside the prince with their own eyes.

Although the prince and the princess did not say anything to the public.

In fact, everyone knew clearly that after raising and teaching for several years, the prince and the princess were no less important in their hearts than the prince.

In fact, they also regarded the prince as the prince and the princess's own son.

This was not only the officials and generals of Yanhua.

The factory owners and merchants of Yanhua actually thought so.

Especially after the prince and the prince and the princess's student, Cai Lu, got married.

This sense of identity became even stronger.

Otherwise, how could the factory owners and merchants of Yanhua support the prince so strongly!

To put it bluntly, in everyone's mind, the prince will inherit the Ming Dynasty in the future, just another son of the prince, and inherit the Ming Dynasty.

If not.

Do you really think that everyone is made of mud?

Is the firearm in your hand a fire stick?

For so many years, you have always chosen to tolerate the prince's behavior?

If not for the emperor above and the prince below.

This time, it is not to destroy Chen.

I am afraid that everyone will shout, fight back to the Central Plains and rescue the people of the Central Plains!

…

"Therefore, the expansion of the army by 200,000 is to cope with the new situation in the future, to defend, and to expand our Yanhua territory in the four seas."

Lü Zhen paused slightly, and then waved his hand fiercely: "But if, one day, something happens to the grandson, or the prince is too aggressive, we can also send troops to the Central Plains overnight, as long as we send 100,000 troops to seize Fujian first. In Fujian, we have a good public opinion base, and the terrain of Fujian is very conducive to defense. It only takes one year to consolidate the occupation of Fujian. We can use the human resources of Fujian and Yanhua to form a strong army of 300,000, and divide the troops into two routes. One route, with the cooperation of the navy, will go along the Jiangsu and Zhejiang regions and drive directly to Jinling, and the other route will attack Guangxi and enter Sichuan and Shu..."

…

Bang bang bang…

Tan Yuan and Liu Sheng left Yanjing Bay on a merchant ship, echoing Lu Zhen's words in their minds during the navy's cannon salute.

Lv Zhen, Ye Cheng and others stood in the military port, watching the soldiers leave.

For a long time.

When the fleet went away and disappeared from sight.

Ye Cheng retracted his sight, smiled bitterly and whispered: "Brother, your last words today were a bit fierce. I'm afraid it will soon reach the ears of the prince. Tan Yuan and others will definitely not hide anything from the prince."

Lv Zhen smiled, "I just want the prince to know."

"Although the prince has fought back against the prince's actions over the years, the force is still too small. It is undeniable that the prince is indeed a hero, but when dealing with the prince, he always has a lot of concerns. He will consider the feelings of His Majesty and the feelings of the grandson..."

...

"It is inevitable that he is a little restrained when fighting back."

"But the prince forgot that the prince is a political strategist who grew up with traditional imperial education."

"Such a person, He doesn't understand our Yanhua struggle and compromise at all. As long as you don't make him feel the deepest pain, this kind of power-seeking person will not stop. After suffering a little loss, he will not accept it. He thinks that as the crown prince and the eldest brother, he should not suffer losses! Although this kind of people are usually very kind and righteous, they are well-known for their virtues, but that is when they are in the lead and have the upper hand. "

"We have all followed Chen Youliang. The crown prince Zhu Biao is definitely better than Chen Youliang, but people like them have one thing in common. When they are the most powerful, they can be magnanimous and let you enjoy the glory and wealth with him, but once they think that you have the possibility of surpassing them, they will start to fight and be very cruel. "

This kind of people cannot tolerate others being better than themselves.

They can't accept that others are better than themselves and more outstanding than themselves.

"Think carefully, what the prince has done over the years, isn't it? He could have directly asked the prince for technical support, would the prince not help him? But what did he do? He used the Jinyiwei to steal, and let a traitor from the Chen Dynasty cooperate with him!"

"I don't have the idea of ​​returning to my roots and returning to the Central Plains. I just can't accept that Yanhua, which the prince founded, will have any turmoil in the future. I can't stand that all this beauty will be destroyed in an instant!"

"We fought in the Central Plains for more than ten years, and finally became stray dogs, but now, we can personally participate in the construction of a prosperous dynasty like Yanhua. Anyone who wants to destroy Yanhua will be my Lu Zhen's mortal enemy!"

...

Ye Cheng and the others nodded silently.

Got it.

Why did they take the initiative to resign and retire?

Isn't it bad to be in charge of troops on the front line and have real power?

Isn't it because you feel that leaving these old guys will be more beneficial to the development of Yanhua's navy?

Their true love for Yanhua prompted them to give up their real power and retire voluntarily for the sake of Yanhua's development.

In the Central Plains, for the sake of glory and wealth, the ambitious people fought life and death for more than ten years.

Then His Majesty will unify the Central Plains.

Everyone became a homeless dog, wandering on the sea.

After meeting the prince, he joined the prince, witnessed the growth of Yanhua, and discovered that everyone can still live like this.

In fact, if we talk about the extreme persistence in defending Yanhua’s achievements.

These old guys are no worse than young people like Tan Yuan and Yu Jing!

They cherished all the beauty that the prince led them to create.

…

Just act as the Yanhua Navy and completely annihilate the Chen Dynasty Navy.

The Yanhua army took merchant ships and dared to attack Chen Dynasty in a mighty manner.

…

Half a month later.

A mighty team, carrying thousands of fine war horses, entered Jinling City.

"Mongol?"

"Why did the Mongols come to our Jinling?"

"Don't you know? This is Simon Gu's envoy. It is said that he came to ask the imperial court for help in exterminating the locusts. These war horses must be a gift to the imperial court."

"Look, Mr. Zhou is also in the team!"

"There is also the Prime Minister Zuo. The Prime Minister Zuo is also in the team!"

…

The people looked at the envoy led by Tupolo and talked a lot.

…

Tupolo looked at Zhou Chao and waved in response to the cheers of thanks from the people of Jinling. He turned to Fang Xiaoru thoughtfully and said, "Master Zuo Xiang, Mr. Xiao Zhou is also from the Central Plains, but I think some of their behaviors are not the same as yours." Very different."

Not to mention anything else.

In the Ming Dynasty, no one responded to the low-level ants like Zhou Chao.

Fang Xiaoru smiled bitterly.

How can he explain this?

Could it be that Tupolo was told that Yanhua did not have an extremely strict hierarchy like the Ming Dynasty?

In this case, in the face of the people's cheers for him.

He didn't even dare to respond.

It’s not that I don’t want to.

But don’t dare!

In the absence of complete innovation in Ming Dynasty.

If he responds to the people like Xiao Zhou Chao, I am afraid that some political opponents will label him as a solicitor.

Moreover, before the strict hierarchy is completely broken.

It is true that you cannot do it, and you cannot allow others to do this kind of thing.

He would not allow such people to appear among the reformists.

Without completing the reform, the appearance of such a person will have a huge influence among the people, and once ambition sprouts.

For the Ming Dynasty, it must be a disaster!

Fang Xiaoru could only explain vaguely: "On the basis of inheriting the culture of the Central Plains, Yanhua introduced the old and brought forth the new, and developed a better civilized culture. There, the children of King Yan often appeared among the people, and the people would not produce any sensation……"

Listen carefully to Tupolo.

In fact, he knows all this.

After Mahamu returned, he described everything about Yanjing for them.

Before, he really didn't believe it.

However, since the rescue team really defeated the locust plague sent by God and got to know Zhou Chao along the way, he began to believe it.

I also understand deeply.

Why is Mahamu so eager?

When Tupolo saw that Zhou Chao had finished greeting the people, he turned around, smiled and clasped his fists: "Mr. Xiao Zhou, when the time comes, I hope you can say a few kind words for our grassland in front of His Majesty the Ming Emperor, so that His Majesty the Emperor can , with great kindness, pity the ordinary herdsmen on the grassland, didn’t King Yan say that the Central Plains and the grassland have been brothers since ancient times? Although both of us have various conflicts of interest in history and at present, we are like Two brothers living separately, if one family is really in trouble, the other family will definitely not stand idly by, right? "

Fang Xiaoru's lips twitched and she was almost amused.

Trying his best to hold back his laughter, he looked at Zhou Chao, wanting to see how Zhou Chao would answer.

Zhou Chao's lips also twitched, and goosebumps appeared all over his body.

He smiled and said: "I have met many Mongolians. For example, the former King of Liaoyang who now leads the Mongolian nobles and is responsible for the research of Mongolian literature and history. However, the Mongolians I have seen are not at all the same as the leader Ba Tu Polo. They are more Direct and more refreshing..."

He smiled at Tu Polo and was not angry.

After Zhou Chao made a simple joke, he smiled and said: "My master did say that the Central Plains and the grasslands have been brothers since ancient times. This has been best proven in Yanhua. Today, there are hundreds of thousands of Mongolian people , we have lived a good life in Yanhua, living in harmony with each other, very harmonious. As a Yanhua person and a descendant of the Yanhuang people, I also uphold the ideals of the master. I will speak up in front of the master, but how much effect can it have? I can't guarantee it. I think that since the leader also admits that we are brothers, we should take the initiative to show goodwill to the Ming Dynasty court. After all, in the past hundred years, when you ruled the Central Plains, you were During their reign, they did a lot of things that hurt each other’s feelings.”

"Looking at our Central Plains, the leader has seen everything in the Mongolian-Han Demonstration Area this time, right?"

Tupolo's mouth almost became angry.

It is undeniable that the Mongolian-Han Demonstration Zone really leaves people speechless.

But this was not caused by Daming!

It’s King Zhu Di of Yan!

At best, the Ming Dynasty only followed the policies left by King Zhu Di of Yan, and Xiao Gui followed Cao Cao.

Before the Mongolian-Han Demonstration Zone, the Ming Dynasty's policies towards them were actually the same as their policies towards the Central Plains a hundred years ago.

In fact, they are not afraid of Ming Dynasty's previous strategy on the grassland.

On the contrary, I was very afraid, even terrified, of the Mongolian-Han demonstration area created by Yan Wang Zhu Di.

That is a policy that truly annihilates the grassland!

At a loss, King Zhu Di of Yan fled to the Central Plains.

Otherwise, I'm afraid it won't take twenty or thirty years.

Herdsmen throughout the grassland will happily accept their identity as descendants of the Yan and Huang Dynasties and be completely assimilated into the Central Plains. From then on, the grassland will become part of the Central Plains territory.

Of course, these words cannot be spoken.

Ba Tupolo solemnly said: "This time, Prime Minister Zuo and Mr. Xiao Zhou have also known our sincerity. They should understand that we sincerely want to live in brotherly harmony with the Ming Dynasty."

…

An hour later.

Fang Xiaoru personally arranged for Tupolo and his party to stay behind the hall.

Taking Zhou Chao with him, he hurriedly entered the palace.

Just arrived near the Imperial Study Room.

Then he saw Zhu Yuanzhang, the prince, grandson and everyone in the cabinet waiting outside the imperial study.

Fang Xiaoru and Zhou Chao quickly quickened their pace.

"Meet the Master (His Majesty)!"

"Get up!" Zhu Yuanzhang said, helping Zhou Chao up himself, looking at Zhou Chao, nodding with satisfaction, patting Zhou Chao on the shoulder, and said: "Okay! Okay! Okay! I can be a teacher for outstanding children like you." , it’s our honor!”

Behind him, the expressions of Qi Tai and Huang Zicheng changed.

Isn’t it just to control the locust plague?

Emperor Zhu praised this boy who studied miscellaneous arts too much!

Zhou Chao didn't know how to answer for a while, he kept laughing and scratching his head.

Ha ha……

He immediately made Zhu Yuanzhang laugh heartily, grabbed Zhou Chao's hand, "Let's go to the imperial study and explain it to the master in detail."

…

In the imperial study room.

Zhou Chao described the governance process and governance results in detail.

Finally, he concluded: "Master, now the locust plague in the demonstration area has been effectively contained. In another month, the chickens released should be captured. From now on, in the demonstration area, people will raise some chickens freely to cooperate with starlings and other birds." The natural enemies of locusts, birds, will soon re-form a stable biological chain..."

…

"However, as industrial activities become more and more frequent, people's impact on the environment and the biological chain will be increasingly greater in the future."

"Natural disasters like this one will definitely occur more frequently. If we want to prevent disasters before they break out, it is best for the court to cultivate a team with the ability to detect changes in the environment and biological chains..."

…

“It’s impossible without development. To develop, we must be prepared for human intervention to adjust the biological chain.”

…

Zhu Yuanzhang listened carefully and nodded from time to time.

After Zhou Chao fell behind, he said: "Master, I know. Later, the master's association will select a group of smart and studious children from ordinary people's homes and send them to Yanjing. The imperial court will fund it and entrust your research team to help train them. This can good?"

Zhou Chao smiled and said: "This is the best. Before leaving, the master said this, but the master should not choose those who are particularly smart or too smart. I am afraid they don't like to study biology and other miscellaneous subjects. It is best to choose those who , People who can endure hardships and endure hardships, in fact, do not need to be too smart to engage in research, the main thing is to be patient, able to endure loneliness for more than ten years. "

Zhu Yuanzhang was thoughtful after hearing these words.

Of course he didn't doubt what Xiao Zhou Chao said.

Instead, think about Xiao Zhouchao’s requirement to select researchers.

This must be what the fourth child thinks.

Putting away his thoughts, he asked with a smile: "What do you think of Mongolia's request for help?"

Zhou Chao scratched his head, blushed slightly, and said honestly: "Master, I am not very familiar with the interactions between these countries and forces. What I said is what the master told me. Before leaving, the master told me I told you that if Mongolia asks me for help, the master wants me to agree..."

"Why!" Huang Zicheng asked suddenly.

Interrupt Zhou Chao.

Zhu Yuanzhang frowned slightly.

Zhou Chao didn't mind and replied: "My master said..."

Zhou Chao told Zhu Di exactly what he said.

After Zhou Chao's words, Fang Xiaoru then said: "Your Majesty, the envoy hinted that if the court can agree to help, the various Mongolian tribes are willing to pay tribute to the Ming Dynasty, and the three Mongolian tribes, Mahamu, Batu Polo and Taiping The leader is willing to send his son to Jinling as a pledge."

"Then agree." Zhu Yuanzhang said straightforwardly.

He didn't care about Ximen Gu claiming to be a vassal, paying tribute, or sending out protons.

He cared about Lao Si's analysis.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Zhou Chao, "It's just that I have to work hard for you little guy again."

Zhou Chao smiled and said, "It's not hard work. On weekdays, in order to understand the biological chain of a place, we set up tents in the forest full of mosquitoes, often staying there for several months..."

"His Majesty!"

At this moment, a voice from outside the hall interrupted Zhou Chao's words.

Everyone turned their heads.

Then I saw Jiang Wei, who had followed Zhu Yuanzhang back to Jinling, hurriedly approached and came to Zhu Yuanzhang's imperial case. He held the secret memorial in both hands and said loudly: "Your Majesty, a great victory in the South China Sea. Yanhua's 16 armored ships have wiped out 230 Chen Dynasty ships." Toward the navy warship!"

Wow!

There was a sound of a chair falling to the ground.

Zhu Biao, Huang Zicheng, Qi Tai and others suddenly stood up and stared at the secret music in Jiang Jian's hand in surprise.
