Li Jie entered the Dongnuan Pavilion with a bloody aura, and Zhu Biao, who was discussing with Zhu Yuanzhang, couldn't help frowning, and then looked at his father next to him worriedly.

However, Zhu Yuanzhang said with a normal face: "Have you all converged?" ”

"It's all converged!" Li Jie also replied very calmly.

"Your grandfather's body has been sent to your fifth uncle, and your father will handle his death, if you have time, you can burn some paper money for me!" Zhu Yuanzhang commanded again, as if he was talking about a very ordinary thing.

"Yes!" Li Jie agreed again.

Was Li Shanchang really involved in the Hu Weiyong case? There is no need to answer this question at all, Li Jie and Zhu Yuanzhang both know it, the important thing is that now that Li Shanchang is dead, the previous threat does not exist, so Zhu Yuanzhang can also look at his old comrade-in-arms calmly.

"How's going along the coast, when will those would-be robbers?" Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly changed the topic.

"After the elimination of the Japanese invaders, there is no threat in the coastal area, but there was a big storm before, which caused a lot of losses to the Ningbo area, and when I came back, Xin Guogong and the local prefect Wang and others were also busy with disaster relief matters."

Li Jie paused when he said this, and then said: "As for the captured Japanese robbers and the spies who colluded with the Japanese invaders, these people will arrive in the afternoon, and then the imperial court will interrogate them before dealing with them?" ”

"What is there to review? These thieves really deserve to be killed, so they ordered them to cut them all down directly outside the city gate, and pile them into a Jingguan to set an example! Zhu Yuanzhang said murderously.

For these hateful pirates, Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't wait to pick their skins with his own hands, you must know that the Ming court spends a lot of silver every year just to guard against the pirates, but it has no effect before.

Li Jie was not surprised by Zhu Yuanzhang's disposition, firstly, those gangsters were indeed hateful, and it was not enough for the people to be angry if they were not killed, and secondly, Lao Zhu was a murderous master, just by restarting the Hu Weiyong case, I don't know how many heads fell to the ground, let alone the widows who should be killed.

"By the way, you wrote to me before that the root cause of the Japanese has not been removed, and in a few years, new Japanese will appear again, what can you do about it?" Zhu Yuanzhang finally asked the most critical question at this time, which was also the main reason why he summoned Li Jie.

Li Jie also knew that Zhu Yuanzhang would ask this, but he reached out and took out a copy of the nautical chart he drew from his arms and presented it: "Please Your Majesty!" ”

Zhu Yuanzhang opened the chart, but found that the picture seemed to be a big island, although he didn't know it, but he quickly guessed where it was, so he looked up and asked: "Is this picture the Wa Kingdom?" ”

"Your Majesty is wise, this is the Wa Kingdom!" Li Jie stepped forward and pointed to the island road on the map, and Zhu Biao next to him also showed a surprised look, he also saw the map of the Wa Kingdom for the first time.

This map is actually the one that Li Jie showed Zhang Dingbian, and at the moment he gave a general description of the current situation of the Wa Kingdom, which is nothing more than the confrontation between the Northern and Southern Dynasties, and the power is held by the Ashikaga family, but the daimyo in various places do not obey the central government, which leads to continuous conflicts in various places, and a large number of samurai go bankrupt and become pirates, which is the so-called Wako.

Finally, Li Jie pointed to Tsushima Island and said: "Tsushima Island is the first stop of the Japanese Invaders going south, and it is also the nest of the Wolves, if you can lay down here, then you can block the road for the Yakuza to go south, if you go further, directly hit the Kyushu Island next to it, then I will never be in danger of the Wolves along the coast of the Ming Dynasty!" ”

"You mean to send troops to attack these two places?" Zhu Yuanzhang also frowned when he heard this, he was not afraid of fighting, but the key was that the main forces of the Ming Dynasty were concentrated in the north, constantly attacking the remnants of Mengyuan, and the south was not very peaceful.

"I also think it's inappropriate, not to mention that there is no division of troops now, even if there is really an army available, if you want to cross the vast sea to conquer the Japanese country, you don't know how much money and food it will cost, and now the treasury is not very abundant, and you can't take out so much money to fight!" At this time, Zhu Biao next to him also shook his head.

"Your Majesty and the crown prince have misunderstood, I don't want the imperial court to send troops to attack the Wa Kingdom, but let others attack the Wa Kingdom for us!" Li Jie explained with a smile.

"Let someone else?" Zhu Biao looked at Li Jie very puzzled when he heard this.

"Yes, when the Japanese invaders harassed the coastal areas of the Ming Dynasty, the imperial court once sent people to the Japanese kingdom and asked them to restrain the Japanese invaders, does Your Majesty still remember how the Japanese replied?" Li Jie did not rush to answer, but opened his mouth to ask a question.

When he first ascended the throne, he sent envoys to the Japanese country, but he was detained by the Japanese and killed five people.

Thinking of the above, Zhu Yuanzhang was even more annoyed with the Wa Kingdom, and then said angrily: "The Wa Guo said that those Wa Kou are just rogue Kou and are not under their jurisdiction!" ”

"Yes, the Wako are indeed a group of rogues, although they are secretly supported by some Wa nobles, but on the surface, the imperial court can't grasp any handle of the Wa State, in this case, why don't we use the way of others to govern their bodies?" Li Jie also showed a smug smile at the end.

"In the way of others, and in the body of others?" Zhu Biao also repeated Li Jie's words when he heard this, but he still didn't understand what he meant.

In contrast, Zhu Yuanzhang stood up all of a sudden, only to see him walk back and forth twice, and then suddenly stopped, stared at Li Jie and asked, "Did you think of this solution, or did they propose it?" ”

"I came up with it, but I had already told Zhang Dingbian before I came, and he didn't agree with it, but then I was persuaded to just put forward one condition!" Li Jie said truthfully.

"Father, what are you talking about, why is there Zhang Dingbian ......" Zhu Biao didn't understand at first, but halfway through his words, he suddenly came to his senses, and immediately slapped his thigh and said, "I understand, it turns out that you want the imperial court to support Zhang Dingbian and these people to kill the Japanese country, but why do they agree?" ”

"Your Highness doesn't know, Zhang Shicheng and Chen Youliang After those old subordinates went to sea, their lives were actually very difficult, and some people even went to pirates, and now Zou Pusheng and others are still alive, and they can still restrain their subordinates for the time being, but if they die, I'm afraid that the hearts of those subordinates will be scattered, and then they will either become rogues, or they will live like savages guarding the island." Li Jie explained again.

"What conditions did Zhang Dingbian propose?" Zhu Yuanzhang is most concerned about this issue.

"Nine fishermen, to be precise, I used nine fishermen to persuade Zhang Dingbian, which made him make up his mind and lead the people to go to sea to kill the Wa Kingdom!" Li Jie replied honestly again, because he knew that he couldn't lie in front of Lao Zhu, otherwise the consequences would be serious.

"Sure enough, you really grasped Zhang Dingbian's weakness, as long as he knows the current situation of the fishermen surnamed Jiu, he will definitely not sit idly by, even if he fights for his life, he has to kill a way for these people!" Zhu Yuanzhang also sneered when he heard this.

"In fact, there is no way to do it, although there are tens of thousands of people under Zou Pusheng, but the ones who can really go to the battlefield are only a few thousand young and strong, relying on this little person alone, at most he can only take Tsushima Island, without Tsushima Island, the Japanese can still go south from Kyushu Island, but if there are fishermen with nine surnames, he will have the strength to enter Kyushu Island!" Li Jie opened his mouth again to explain.

The nine fishermen are just a general term, referring to the navy after Chen Youliang's defeat, as well as the families of the navy, because Zhu Yuanzhang was afraid that they would make trouble, so they were placed separately in multiple waters, and they were forbidden to go ashore, after these years of fertility and recuperation, although there is no exact number, but according to Jinyiwei's estimate, the total number of fishermen with the surname nine should be hundreds of thousands.

"Hmph, but why did I promise them, even if they can really solve the Japanese Koukou, if they let them sit overseas, wouldn't it be a greater threat to my Ming Dynasty?" Zhu Yuanzhang snorted coldly, and his gaze at Li Jie was also a little cold, because in his opinion, Li Jie's idea was too stupid!

Li Jie knew that Zhu Yuanzhang would say this, but he had already prepared a killer plan, so he stretched out his finger and nodded at the southeast coast of the Wa Kingdom: "Your Majesty, do you know where this is the Wa Kingdom?" ”

"If you have something to say, don't sell it in front of me!" Zhu Yuanzhang was also a little surprised to see Li Jie's unhurried appearance, and immediately said again angrily.

"The name of this place is Iwami, and the territory is mountainous, but among these mountains, there is a huge silver mine hidden, if it is mined, it is enough for me to use it for a hundred years!" When Li Jie said the end, his finger pointing at Iwami Silver Mine also became even harder.

"Is that true?" Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao asked almost in unison when they heard this,

"The minister dares to vouch for it with a head!" Li Jie replied with a smile, it seems that it is not the first time that he has used a human head to vouch, and now it is not bad this time.

After receiving such a positive answer from Li Jie, Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao looked at the position of Li Jie's finger at the same time, and the eyes of the father and son suddenly became unprecedentedly hot!
