Li Jie's ship went down the river, and a few days later went to sea to arrive at Ningbo Port, Tang He, who had already received the news, also came to greet him in person, speaking of which all the other princes were driven back to their hometown by Zhu Yuanzhang, but Tang He was still in power outside, which can also be seen Lao Zhu's trust in him.

"What's going on in the capital?" Tang He welcomed Li Jie into the military camp of the navy, and immediately asked, from Li Jie's entry into Beijing to the present, too many things have happened in the capital, although Tang He heard some rumors, but it is definitely not as detailed as Li Jie knows.

"Now the capital has calmed down, but some time ago it was a rumor, everyone was in danger, our family and Ji'an Hou and others must have known about it, and then the six princes and ten marquis returned to their hometowns, causing other nobles to run back to their hometowns to hide, even my uncle was afraid to go back to Fengyang's hometown, but halfway was recalled by His Majesty to master the Iron Book Army." Li Jie roughly explained.

"Your grandfather is an old fool, he didn't seize so many opportunities at the beginning, and ended up like this!" Tang He also said angrily when he heard the words.

However, when he said these words, Tang He also showed a heartache look, because in addition to Li Shanchang, Ji'an Hou Lu Zhongheng, Yan'an Hou Tang Shengzong, Pingliang Hou Feiju and others are all his old brothers, especially Lu Zhongheng, who is his old subordinate, who has fought with him for many years, but now these people are all dead.

"Grandpa Tang's Day condolences!" Li Jie also understood Tang He's mood, and immediately opened his mouth to persuade.

But having said that, Li Jie does not think that Lu Zhongheng and others are innocent, in fact, it is not without reason that Lao Zhu killed these people, although these people have made great achievements, but after their success, these people have become corrupt and degenerate, not only rampant in the countryside, but even dare to disobey the imperial order.

For example, take Lu Zhongheng as an example, when Lao Zhu summoned him to Beijing, he didn't arrive according to him, which is a capital crime in the army, but Lao Zhu only dismissed him from his official position, and he was reinstated to his original position only a year later, and even when Hu Weiyong died, Lu Zhongheng was involved, but Lao Zhu saw the love of the year and let him go again.

However, Lu Zhongheng did not wake up, and after escaping the catastrophe, he still went his own way, and finally let Lao Zhu's tolerance reach the limit, so ten years after Hu Weiyong's death, the Hu Weiyong case was reopened again, and this time Lu Zhongheng could not escape death.

The others are almost the same as Lu Zhongheng, in comparison, Li Shanchang is the most innocent of them, but he is greedy for power and refuses to let go, threatening the imperial power without knowing it, so he finally ended up like this.

In fact, with Tang He's shrewdness, of course he knew that Lu Zhongheng and others had their own way of dying, but he was old, and seeing that the old brother of the year did not die on the battlefield, but died in the hands of Zhu Yuanzhang, the old brother, he was still very uncomfortable in his heart, and his old eyes were overflowing with tears.

"Grandpa Tang, people can't be resurrected after death, you must take care of your health!" Seeing this, Li Jie hurriedly stepped forward to help Tang He sit down, the old man is old, and his joy and sorrow hurt his body the most, don't get angry because of this incident.

Tang He sat down for a while before calming down, and finally sighed and said: "Life, this is all fate, I have long persuaded them to be more restrained, but as a result, all of them are Lao Tzu's words, and some people even laugh at Lao Tzu behind his back for being timid, and now they are all fucking dead balls!" ”

Tang He became more and more angry in the end, and even scolded the swear words, but as long as these people could listen to his little advice, I am afraid that they would not end up with the separation of corpses.

Li Jie didn't know what to say at this time, so he had to persuade the old man to dissipate his anger, and finally Tang He finally calmed down, and then asked about the details of the capital, Li Jie also answered one by one, and told the purpose of his trip.

"Your Majesty is willing to let you go to sea?" Tang He also showed a look of surprise when he heard the words.

"What is there to be reluctant to give, this matter was originally caused by me, I also want to see its implementation with my own eyes, and I have obtained His Majesty's consent, this trip will also go to Goryeo, maybe there will be a big harvest!" Li Jie said that at the end, he smiled again and said, Goryeo is also the key to this trip, except for him, it is really difficult for others to grasp.

"Goryeo is now unstable in the country, although that Li Chenggui is desperately befriending our Ming Dynasty, but he can't completely control Goryeo, the purpose of your trip is mainly to the Japanese country, and now you are going to provoke Goryeo, will there be any extraneous branches?" Tang He asked with some concern when he heard the words.

"Grandpa Tang, don't worry, Your Majesty and I have already discussed, Gao Li is just a trip, if it is not feasible, I will also retreat in time, and I will never delay the business then!" Li Jie laughed again.

Hearing Li Jie say this, Tang He didn't ask any more, although Li Jie didn't explain too much, he believed Lao Zhu and Li Jie's judgment.

"By the way, what's going on with the fishermen surnamed Jiu, Zou Pusheng's placement hasn't gone haywire, right?" Li Jie asked again at this time.

"No, Zou Pusheng is also a person who has been a master, and controlling such a little person is also a piece of cake, of course, this is also thanks to the timely money and food sent by the imperial court, as long as there is food and drink, they will stay on the island honestly." Tang He immediately came back.

"That's great, Grandpa Tang, you should have seen their soldiers, how do you feel, are you sure to take Tsushima Island?" Li Jie asked again.

"If the Japanese are similar to the previous gang of Japanese robbers, there should be no problem, after all, although the Japanese are ferocious, but they have no tactics, they are basically rushing forward in a swarm, and there is no cooperation between each other, to put it mildly, the Japanese are simply a group of rabble, and they can only bully the people." Tang He also said very contemptuously when he mentioned the Japanese Kou.

It's a pity that Tang He didn't know that it was the rabble of the Japanese Kou who disturbed the Ming coastal area for hundreds of years, and even affected the direction of the Ming Dynasty's national policy.

"The Japanese are indeed a group of rabble, these people were originally a group of wandering samurai, the Japanese army is also dominated by samurai, and the soldiers are all temporarily recruited peasants, and the weapons are very backward, so even if the real Japanese army is stronger than the Japanese army, but the strength is limited!" Li Jie judged very calmly.

Although the later generations of the Wa Kingdom boasted of their own history very powerfully, in fact, as long as you study their historical materials, you will find that the Wa State is quite backward in military terms, and even equipped the soldiers with metal weapons, many soldiers simply use bamboo as weapons, not to mention horses, and the short Wa horses are not even as good as the Mongolian horses, but fortunately, a shipwreck wiped out the Mongols in the Eastern Crusade, otherwise the Mongols really killed the Wa State, I am afraid that the Wa Kingdom would have become a vassal of the Mongols long ago.

"Then there's nothing to worry about, but the ferocious reputation of the Japanese has frightened many people, and I heard that after Zhang Dingbian announced that they would go to the Japanese country, some of their subordinates were actually scared, and they even began to explain their future." Tang He said that at the end, he also smiled contemptuously again.

For Tang He, the nine fishermen are just the defeated generals of their Ming Dynasty, if it weren't for the inconvenience of the Ming Dynasty to send troops directly, how could these subordinates be defeated?

Li Jie frowned when he heard this, it is not a good sign to be cowardly before fighting, it seems that he has to think of a way to help Zhang Dingbian and them boost their morale.

Coincidentally, at this moment, suddenly a soldier came to report, Zhang Dingbian and Zou Pusheng came, it is estimated that they also got the news of Li Jie's arrival, so they also came to greet in person, of course, they mainly wanted to inquire about the arrangements for the imperial court to send troops.

Li Jie immediately went out to greet him, and then invited the two into the living room, but Zhang Dingbian and Tang He still didn't deal with each other much, and the two had a cold face after meeting, but Zou Pusheng and Tang He had a good relationship, and the two were also talking and laughing after they met, without any hostility.

"Master Mu, when are you coming back?" Li Jie asked Zhang Dingbian to sit down, and then asked.

"I just came back a few days ago, and I heard that Li Banyu is back this time, so we rushed here immediately and wanted to ask about the details of going to sea." Zhang Dingbian replied with a smile.

"It's not complicated to go to sea, the imperial court will give you a batch of boats, and then you will take the boat yourself, and the sailors of the imperial court will guard the periphery, and they will always send you to your destination, as for the details, I still need to discuss with the navy, but there should be no big problem." Li Jie also explained with a smile.

Zou Pusheng and Li Hong's men were already living overseas, and it was already very easy for them to control the ships, and even they had a group of ships of their own, plus the ships donated by those merchants, which were enough to load the expedition team on the ships.

"I was also about to ask Li Banyu about those ships, it seems that His Majesty didn't promise to send us ships at the beginning, right?" Zhang Dingbian asked again, and after he came back, he found that the support given to them by the imperial court was even more generous than when Lao Zhu agreed, which made him feel wrong, and he also wanted to ask Li Jie this time.

"These ships are actually not from the imperial court to support you, but from some merchants, including the food you eat, the cloth you wear, etc., some of which are also from these merchants, but they also have requirements......"

Li Jie also took this opportunity to talk about the conditions he promised Gu Xuewen and others, in fact, Gu Xuewen and others had already come to Ningbo, and they were waiting for Li Jie to come and introduce them to Zhang Dingbian and others, after all, they also had to go to the country with the fleet.

"No problem, I agreed to the conditions!" Zhang Dingbian didn't expect that there would be businessmen involved, but the conditions proposed by the businessmen were not excessive, they just wanted to buy the loot in their hands, as well as the priority trading rights in the future, anyway, they traded the same with whomever they wanted, so Zhang Dingbian agreed almost without thinking about it.

Li Jie knew that Zhang Dingbian would not refuse, and he was not surprised at this time, and then he thought of what Tang He mentioned just now, so he smiled again: "Master Mu Jiao, I heard that when you heard that you were going to go to the Japanese country, some people were afraid?" ”
