Chapter 553 Zhu Di: Yanhua Breaks Off Diplomatic Relations with the Ming Dynasty!

Everyone secretly looked at Zhu Di.

The haters secretly rejoiced and said in their hearts: The new emperor is a master!

Lan Yu, Fang Xiaoru and others were worried.

They felt a sense of anxiety and anger for no reason.

In fact, everyone understood that this was probably a trap set by the prince.

Especially Lan Yu and Fang Xiaoru.

The first visit to Yanhua in the history of the Ming Dynasty.

At that time, it was not Yanhua.

The King of Yan just established a foothold overseas.

At that time, it was Xu Xianchang who sent them back.

At that time, Yanhua's warships were still very simple. They were just trophy ships that defeated pirates. After modification, they were equipped with artillery.

That was also groundbreaking.

They still remember.

At that time, the prince and Xu Xianchang had a private conversation on the warship.

Originally, they guessed that the prince's move was to make the King of Yan suspicious of the naval and land generals who followed him out of the Ming Dynasty.

But from today's incident, it can be basically judged.

Their speculation at that time was still too conservative.

Xu Xianchang might be the prince's man.

Just like before, when the Prince of Yan went to sea, the Jinyiwei system followed him.

The Jinyiwei was infiltrated by the Military Intelligence Department of Yanhua at that time.

There is no doubt that the prince succeeded in the matter of Xu Xianchang.

Xu Xianchang wanted to take the sixteen ironclad ships and sixteen steam-powered logistics supply ships as his own private property and bring them back to present to the prince, the new emperor now!

That is the navy capital of Yanhua!

Do this.

Isn't it a bit too...too despicable!

The former emperor and the former queen have just been buried, and the new emperor has acted like this. This matter has become a big deal. People all over the world know about it. Doesn't the new emperor worry about his reputation?

Why can't he propose it to Yanhua and buy it from Yanhua!

Is your majesty worried that Yanhua is conservative in technology?

They believe that Prince of Yan Zhu Di will not be like this.

What your majesty values ​​is probably not Yanhua's sixteen ironclad ships at all!

At least, the sixteen ironclad ships are not your majesty's main purpose.

Your majesty is probably more concerned about the next window period when the Yanhua Navy will be without ships available?

So?

What does your majesty want to do?

It's almost self-evident!

Eliminate Yanhua!

Just imagine.

The Yan Wang family is controlled in Jinling City.

The sharpest blade of Yanhua, the navy, has fallen into the hands of the court.

The center of Yanhua and Yanjing is bound to be in chaos. At this time, the court, under the escort of sixteen ironclad ships, sent troops to Yanjing...

Things have developed to this point.

The purpose of the new monarch has almost been revealed.

Every step is full of imperial mentality.

Every step, there is no brotherhood!

A look, the victor is not condemned.

History is written by the victor.

Is this still the prince they used to be loyal to and recognized?

Lan Yu looked at Zhu Biao with some disappointment.

He could not deny that this plan was really... It made people give a thumbs up and say, brilliant!

But he could not agree with this style of behavior.

Many people said that the previous emperor was cruel.

And the new emperor's actions were a far cry from the previous emperor's!

At least, he was like him at the beginning.

The previous emperor tolerated him and gave him a chance.

But the Prince of Yan was so kind to the new emperor.

But how did the new emperor treat the Prince of Yan?

It was chilling!

Qi Tai and Huang Zicheng looked at each other.

Huang Zicheng immediately stood up, "Your Majesty, why not summon Xu Tongzhi to make this matter clear."

Zhu Biao looked at Zhu Di, "Old Four..."

"Okay!" Zhu Biao just opened his mouth, and Zhu Di's cold and angry voice sounded.

Zhu Di raised his head and met Zhu Biao's sight.

Zhu Biao subconsciously looked away, "In this case, summon Xu Xianchang."

...

After a short and quiet wait.

Xu Xianchang appeared at the door of Fengtian Hall.

Under the gazes of hundreds of ministers, Xu Xianchang suppressed his excitement and walked in with a light step.

It won't take long.

As a loyal and brave duke.

And he controls the only and most powerful naval fleet in the world.

He will become one of the few people in the court who cannot be ignored.

Glory and wealth are just around the corner!

Xu Xianchang was excited and in a good mood until he felt a gaze falling on him. He subconsciously looked in the direction of his feeling and met Zhu Di. His calm gaze suddenly stopped.

He avoided Zhu Di's sight in a moment of guilt.

He lowered his head.

His face was pale.

A sense of fear emerged from his heart for no reason and instantly enveloped his whole body.

'No, I did nothing wrong. If the King of Yan could give me what the prince gave me, I would not betray the King of Yan. He is too stingy. Why should I risk helping Yanhua expand its territory while those fools get the most benefits! ’

…

‘As I hollowed out the Yanhua navy, he has already failed. Soon, Yanhua will be defeated by the Ming army, and the life and death of the King of Yan and even his family may be uncertain. Your Majesty may just want to annex everything in Yanhua and has not thought of killing the King of Yan, but how many people has the King of Yan offended over the years, and how many people want to get rid of him as soon as possible? ’

Xu Xianchang thought that Zhu Di would soon not even be able to save his own life.

Finally overcame the fear.

The pace quickened a bit.

Kneeled down: "Your Majesty, Xu Xianchang, pays homage to His Majesty. Long live His Majesty!"

"Three-surnamed slave!"

The voice, not too loud, but heard by many people, suddenly rose.

A series of eyes suddenly looked at Zhu Xi.

Zhu Feng turned around and said with a fake smile: "My lords, what do you think this king is doing? The protagonists today are your majesty and Commander Xu!"

Zhu Biao's face turned slightly dark.

Led by Zhu Gui, the younger brothers quietly gave Zhu Ping a thumbs up.

In the Lao Zhu family, in terms of yin and yang, Zhu Laoer ranks second, and no one dares to say that he is first.

"Second brother!" Zhu Biao's slightly angry voice sounded, "Do you still have any rules?"

Zhu Xi curled his lips and bowed to Zhu Biao, "Your Majesty, I am guilty of beating our old man when he was a child. He taught my brothers and sisters, but he did not teach me the rules. If I know this, I will definitely hold him in his arms in the future. As a man with a tail, I don’t want the two armies and horses that my father gave me. I’m afraid!”

Another yin and yang!

Zhu Biao's face turned black visibly to the naked eye.

Seeing that something was wrong, Zhu Ji hurriedly changed the subject and snorted: "Xu Xianchang, you are asking for a discount. If you want to return to the imperial court, you will also give sixteen armored ships and sixteen steam-powered supply ships to the imperial court. Who do you think you are?" You have the right to be the master!”

"These ships were built by the people of Yanhua."

"What right do you have to make decisions for the people of Yanhua!"

"You are a shameless and despicable person who tried to drive a wedge between His Majesty and my fourth brother. You should be punished for your crime!"

"Brother!" Zhu 㭎 suddenly turned around and bowed to Zhu Biaoyao: "Such an insidious and cunning villain cannot be kept. Big brother should immediately summon the soldiers in front of the palace, drag him out, and kill him with sticks and sticks!"

"slow!"

Qi Tai shouted, "Prince Jin, even if he is killed with a stick, at least let Xu Tongzhi finish his words!"

Xu Xianchang wiped his sweat and quickly raised his head: "Your Majesty, I have something to say!"

He originally thought that today's afternoon meeting was just a formality.

I didn't expect it to be so dangerous.

He didn't believe that the princes like King Qin and King Jin didn't see through that the new emperor was the mastermind behind this matter.

He just didn't expect it.

After seeing this group of people clearly.

He dared to shout and kill him for Zhu Di.

His previous judgment on the influence of King Yan Zhu Di in the Ming Dynasty was wrong.

Xu Xianchang hurriedly explained: "Your Majesty, I was originally a naval general of the imperial court. The former emperor asked me to follow Yu Tongzhi to Fujian, accept the leadership of King Yan, and fight against Japanese pirates along the coast..."

…

"The imperial court's initial support played a decisive role in the establishment of Yanhua's fleet."

"The King of Yan has never made this matter clear to the court. Now that Yanhua is so rich, it is reasonable for me to return to the court with sixteen armored ships to help the court build a strong navy."

"I think that King Yan should understand that I have a strong attachment to the Central Plains and our dynasty."

"Please, Your Majesty, please help me!"

Xu Xianchang said and bowed solemnly to Zhu Di.

The hall fell into silence again.

Everyone looked at Zhu Di.

Zhu Di was calm and silent.

The longer Xu Xianchang waited, the more scared he became.

He raised his head and whispered: "Moreover, my return at this time is also arranged by the late emperor. I am the late emperor..."

Zhu Di's face was instantly covered with a layer of frost.

The killing intent flashed in his eyes.

He had already rushed to Xu Xianchang in one stride.

Lift your feet.

Bang!

He kicked Xu Xianchang hard on the shoulder.

Xu Xianchang fell to the ground.

Zhu Di kept kicking Xu Xianchang in the stomach.

"Fourth! This is Fengtian Palace!"

Bang!

Zhu Biao slammed the case.

Only then did Zhu Di stop, stepped on Xu Xianchang's face, turned around, his eyes were extremely cold, and he looked up at Zhu Biao, "You know exactly what is going on in this matter."

"If you want Yanhua's fleet, you can tell me directly."

"I, Yanhua, have nothing but strong industrial capabilities."

"Not to mention sixteen iron-clad ships, even better iron-clad ships than these sixteen can be built in one year."

…

Zhu Biao didn't expect that Zhu Di would dare to talk to him like this.

His eyes were cold.

He didn't even call him "big brother", and all the words referring to him came and went without any politeness.

…

"That's all, but you should never, never do this in the name of your father. Don't forget that your father and mother have just been laid to rest."

"From today on, I, Yanhua, will sever diplomatic relations with Ming Dynasty!"

"Tomorrow, our family will leave Daming!"

"If you, in the future, use the name of my father to pin something like this on my father and discredit my father, we will see you on the battlefield!"

Say it.

Zhu Di lowered his head, stepped on Xu Xianchang, stood up, and stared at Xu Xianchang with cold eyes: "It's not just sixteen battleships. Originally, even if you took away sixteen battleships, I wouldn't do anything to you, but you It is absolutely wrong to use my father’s name to bury him in his grave and discredit him.”

"Remember, you must live well!"

Snap!

After Zhu Di finished speaking, he stood up, flicked his sleeves, and left in a state of astonishment.

"Presumptuous! Presumptuous!"

…

Behind him, Zhu Biao's angry roar loomed.

Zhu Di walked down the steps and stood at the foot of the steps of Fengtian Hall.

He raised his head and glanced at the dazzling sun in the sky.

The eldest brother set up a trap and Xu Xianchang betrayed him.

In his expectation.

As long as Xu Xianchang's betrayal occurs.

He will take advantage of this.

Crush the name of the benevolent and righteous king that the eldest brother has cultivated over the years as the crown prince.

Crush this golden body.

Originally, he would not be so angry.

After all, in his expectation, he was mentally prepared.

The eldest brother and Xu Xianchang should not involve the father and the emperor.

Xu Xianchang clearly wanted to say.

Everything he did was arranged by his father.

Word spread.

How do people in the world view their father?

How will future generations view their father?

Few people in the world, or even future generations, would think about it. If my father wants Yanhua’s armored ship, why should he do this?

Say something to him.

As a son, he can ask the shipyard to build as many as he wants.

Although, I don’t know what Xu Xianchang said.

Was it arranged by the elder brother?

But Xu Xianchang is the eldest brother.

If Xu Xianchang said this, Zhu Biao would have to bear the responsibility!

…

Just when Zhu Di came out of the palace.

The former Dong Palace Guards led a group to rush to the Huitong Pavilion.

One rushed out of the city.

With the cooperation of Xu Xianchang.

Boarded sixteen ironclad ships and sixteen steam-powered supply ships and took control of these thirty-two warships.

pier.

A merchant ship was stranded in the hold of a merchant ship with an excuse to load cargo.

Captain Yang Wang hurried into the cabin.

In the dark cabin.

Fang Rui sat under the lantern.

Looking at the inland river from Songjiangkou to Jinling.

If you look carefully, you will find that all the checkpoints and forts along the river are clearly marked on the map.

Shipowner Yang Wang hurriedly opened the door and said anxiously: "Director, there is news from the city that the hall where the prince is located has been surrounded by the former East Palace Guards."

Fang Rui said nothing.

After staring at the picture for a while, he raised his head and asked: "Where are the other soldiers and horses in Jinling City? Where are the Beijing Camp and the Imperial City Forbidden Army?"

Captain Yang Wang shook his head, "The Beijing Camp and Imperial City Forbidden Army are still under the command of Xin Guogong Tang He and have not moved for the time being."

Fang Rui nodded, stood up, looked at a small mirror hanging on the left side of the cabin with the dim light, adjusted his wig and Ming Dynasty decorations, and sneered: "Master Yang, next, you inform everyone in Jinling Yes, our Yanhua merchant ships will immediately rush along the river to the Songjiang mouth..."

"Director, it is enough for my ship to do this. Other colleagues' ships should carry the artillery we brought on board and bombard Jinling City!"

Fang Rui was immediately amused, turned around, and patted Wang Wang's boss on the shoulder, "You can't accomplish this alone. Since the new emperor of the Ming Dynasty has done this, he will definitely set up a blockade downstream to stop our Yanhua merchant ships. , Send the news back to Yanjing quickly."

"This new king has a huge appetite. He doesn't just want our Yanhua navy. He wants to get something for nothing and swallow the industrial achievements that the prince has accumulated through hard work over the years!"

"He is jealous of our Yanhua's industrial achievements. He is almost going crazy with jealousy."

"Despicable!"

King Yang's boss scolded and sneered: "I'm afraid that he has bad teeth. We Yanhua people don't want to be his subjects. The common people will be oppressed, and businessmen can only become the white gloves of his powerful officials!"

Fang Rui stopped Shipowner Yang Wang from angry nagging and continued: "So, from here to Songjiangkou, there will definitely be obstacles. This requires you to set up artillery and rush out regardless of it!"

"Director, please rest assured, we will ensure that the task is completed!" Yang Wang's boss patted his chest.

Fang Rui raised his hand and saluted solemnly towards Wang Wang's family, "For the prince, for Yanhua, for the ideals of Yanhua's eight million people, and for the beautiful expectations for the future, we can do anything!"

Yang Wang’s boss was a little unfamiliar, but he raised his hand solemnly.

Fang Rui got off the boat and secretly headed to Jinling City with several people.

A Yanhua-registered merchant ship.

Regardless of whether the goods are on the dock or not yet loaded, they leave the dock.

Shortly after leaving the dock.

While working hard to drive the cattle in the power cabin.

On one side, he threw the loaded goods into the river regardless of it, lightened the load, and rushed downstream.

…

Royal study room.

"Who asked you to mention the late emperor!"

Zhu Biao turned around and yelled angrily. After taking control of the fleet, he came back to report to Xu Xianchang.

"Prince, calm down." Lu Ben persuaded.

He and Hu Weiyong hurriedly entered the palace after receiving the news.

Unexpectedly, the new emperor did such a big thing quietly.

Zhu Silang is dead!

Now, it's time for him to make some plans for his grandson Yunwen.

At this time, speaking for Xu Xianchang will help win over Xu Xianchang in the future.

Xu Xianchang betrayed Zhu Silang and killed Zhu Silang's family.

He was destined to be tolerated by Zhu Xiongying.

Xu Xianchang planned for the future and would not allow Zhu Xiongying to become the third Ming emperor.

Of course, Xu Xianchang may not necessarily support Yunwen.

Therefore, it is very necessary to help Xu Xianchang now, "Prince, the top priority is to let Duke Zhongyong go to the fleet as soon as possible to persuade the soldiers to revolt and join the court. The court needs to completely control the fleet in the shortest possible time, so that The fleet forms a fighting force!"

Zhu Biao gradually calmed down.

Many things to come will still require this fleet.

Looking at the entire Ming Dynasty, Xu Xianchang was the only one capable of commanding such an advanced fleet.

What's more, he just wanted to kill Xu Xianchang.

Neither can.

Spend thousands of gold to buy horse bones.

If he killed Xu Xianchang because of Xu Xianchang's inappropriate remarks about his father, no one would dare to seek refuge with Zhu Biao in the future.

Zhu Biao glared at Xu Xianchang coldly: "I will give you five days. Within five days, you must control this fleet in the hands of the imperial court and cooperate with the imperial court's next plan..."

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty..."

At this moment, a hurried voice came from outside the palace.

Bang!

Then, without waiting for Zhu Biao's permission.

The palace door was pushed open from outside.

Song Zhong, wearing armor, hurried in and said anxiously: "Your Majesty, news came from the docks of Qinhuai River outside the city. All the merchant ships of Yanhua suddenly set sail and rushed downstream. The artillery forts in the lower reaches of Qinhuai River just heard the sound of artillery fire. I suspect that the merchant ships of Yanhua have known everything and tried to warn Yanjing!"

Zhu Biao's expression changed, and he urged Xu Xianchang: "Go and persuade the fleet to revolt collectively. I will give you three days. Within three days, you must be ready for battle!"

Your Majesty is going to attack Yanhua!

Hu Weiyong and Lu Ben looked at each other.

Hu Weiyong pretended to be cautious and reminded, "Prince, now, except for the former Donggong guards, all the heavy troops in the capital are in the hands of Xin Guogong!"
