Chapter 170: Next Steps

Early the next morning, Li Jie entered the palace again to see Zhu Yuanzhang, and then presented the weight loss recipes and weight loss plans he wrote, in fact, it is also very simple, the weight loss recipe is nothing more than to control the intake of carbohydrates and fat, eat more vegetables and high-quality protein, and fruits should also be controlled, because the fructose content in fruits is very high, and fructose will increase the burden on the liver, and fat people generally have problems with their livers, so for fat people, fruits can not be eaten more.

As for the weight loss plan, it is simpler, it is nothing more than an exercise plan, such as which exercises to complete every day, with Zhu Biao's weight, running is definitely not good, it hurts his knees too much, so his exercise is mainly brisk walking, and Li Jie also suggested that it is best to build a swimming pool, so that Zhu Biao can swim to exercise, which is the real weight loss weapon.

Zhu Yuanzhang also nodded after reading the whole plan and said: "It seems quite simple, but it is not easy to get the prince to obediently follow this plan, no wonder you say that you can't do it!" ”

"Your Majesty is wise, in fact, it is best for Your Majesty to personally supervise the crown prince." Li Jie also said very honestly.

"I also want to, but I can't abolish the government because of the crown prince alone, I can only let Lan Yu do it for me!" Lao Zhu also sighed at this time, and said something in his heart rarely, maybe in the eyes of others, he, the emperor, has the power of the world, and he can do whatever he wants, but only he knows that there are many things that he can't help himself.

"By the way, the fourth child did a good job in Goryeo, but some time ago he also wrote a letter to ask the imperial court to send more reinforcements to Goryeo, what do you think of sending the Iron Book Army over?" Lao Zhu suddenly asked again.

Li Jie was also shocked when he heard this, yesterday his uncle Liu Ying also told him that the Iron Book Army might go to the battlefield, but today Lao Zhu made a decision, which is also too coincidental.

"Your Majesty, it's no problem for the Iron Book Army to go to Goryeo, but those princes ......" Li Jie quickly replied, but when he mentioned those noble princes, he suddenly stopped and looked at Lao Zhu.

The noble prince is a hostage in the hands of Lao Zhu, although it is of little use, but it can also contain those nobles, and now Lao Zhu has sent the Iron Book Army to Zhu Di, if those princes also go with him, wouldn't it be so that Zhu Di suddenly mastered the hostages of the nobles, which is not a good thing for the court, if Zhu Di wants to rebel, he can use those sons to threaten the nobles.

"Just send the Iron Book Army over, and all those sons will stay in the capital!" Lao Zhu was really not confused, and immediately waved his hand, which made Li Jie also nod secretly, it seems that his judgment yesterday was correct, Lao Zhu really didn't plan to let those sons go to the battlefield.

"Your Majesty is wise, then is my uncle going to Goryeo with him?" Li Jie suddenly said with some worry, Liu Ying is the commander of the Iron Army, and it stands to reason that no matter where the Iron Army goes, he will go with him.

"Your uncle should stay in the capital and watch those princes, just let Mu Sheng lead the troops!" Lao Zhu replied again, Liu Ying is loyal to loyalty, but Lao Zhu knows that Liu Ying does not have the talent to lead troops, and letting him go to the battlefield will only make a mistake, so it is better to let Mu Sheng, who has been in charge of military training, go to the battlefield to exercise.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Li Jie also secretly wiped a cold sweat when he heard this, he knew his uncle best, let him go to the battlefield is simply to drive ducks to the shelves, not only will he mislead others but also himself, with Zhu Di's violent temper, it is not easy to mess around under him, maybe he will cut Liu Ying in anger, so it is safest to stay in the capital.

"With the fourth child here, it is only a matter of time before the whole territory of Goryeo is controlled, Zhang Dingbian and their side are also going very well, the latest news from Jinyiwei, they have initially gained a firm foothold on Kyushu Island, and the follow-up reinforcements have also been transferred, and after a while, they may officially start immigration."

Lao Zhu paused here and then said: "These things are developing according to your original plan, so how should the silver mine be developed next, do you have a detailed strategy for this?" ”

"Your Royal Highness, the minister thinks that the matter of the silver mine of the Wa Kingdom must wait until the King of Yan controls Goryeo before making plans, after all, before mining the silver mine, it is necessary to send troops to control the Iwami region, and then levy the people's power to open mines and smelt, which requires a large number of troops, as well as manpower and material resources to cooperate, it is definitely not possible to mobilize from the Ming Dynasty, if it is from Goryeo, it will be much easier!" Li Jie stepped forward solemnly.

"It's similar to what I thought, it seems that the Iron Book Army should be transferred to Goryeo as soon as possible, so that the fourth child can do it quickly, so as not to have too many dreams at night!" Lao Zhu Wenyan also nodded in agreement and said, in fact, it is not impossible to mobilize manpower from Daming, but the consumption is too great, in comparison, it is more cost-effective to mobilize from Goryeo.

"By the way, what's the situation in the Wa Kingdom now, I heard that Prince Huailiang who killed my Ming envoy is dead?" Lao Zhu suddenly asked again, since he was going to send troops to the Wa Kingdom, he also wanted to know more about the situation of the Wa Kingdom.

"Prince Huailiang is an important figure in the Southern Dynasty of the Wa Kingdom, he has controlled Kyushu for nearly ten years, when His Majesty sent an envoy to the Wa Kingdom, and even thought that he was the king of the Wa Kingdom, this person retired more than ten years ago, and died seven or eight years ago, but after he retired, many daimyo in Kyushu pretended to communicate with the imperial court in the name of Prince Huailiang, and secretly supported the Wako, which was extremely hateful!" Li Jie replied again, and then gave a detailed account of the recent situation in the Wa Kingdom.

It is now the end of the Northern and Southern Dynasties of the Wa Kingdom, the general trend of the Southern Dynasties has gone, and the Northern Dynasties have the upper hand, for example, taking Kyushu as an example, it used to be one of the strongholds of the Southern Dynasties, but now it is controlled by the Northern Dynasties, but Zhang Dingbian killed into Kyushu Island, and the Imagawa Ryoshiro of the Northern Dynasties was captured, which disrupted the pattern of Kyushu again.

"The current Southern Dynasty is just surviving, and there is only one Shao Er clan left on Kyushu Island who still supports the Southern Dynasty, so I suggest that after Zhang Dingbian enters Kyushu Island, he can try to contact the Shao Er clan to see if he can muddy the waters of the Wa Kingdom under the banner of the Southern Dynasty." Finally, Li Jie concluded again.

"What about Iwami Country, which force does it belong to now?" Lao Zhu asked again, he was most concerned about the silver mine.

"Now the guardian of Iwami is Ouchi Yoshihiro, Ouchi is also one of the three major clans in Kyushu, Ouchi Yoshihiro is a famous fierce general of the Wa Kingdom, originally Ouchi was loyal to the Southern Dynasty, and later was lured to the Northern Dynasty, Ouchi Yoshihiro has made many military exploits, and finally got the guardian of Iwami Country!" Li Jie introduced again that this information was also collected by him a long time ago.

"Ouchi?" Lao Zhu also sneered when he heard this, no matter who blocked his way to mining silver ore, it would be a dead end in the end.

At this time, I saw Li Jie speak again: "In fact, when we sent Zhang Dingbian to land on Kyushu Island, we had already fought with the Ouchi clan, when we went north along the coast, we saw the port and bombarded it with artillery, many of which belonged to the Ouchi clan, especially the strait connecting Kyushu Island and Honshu Island, which was burned by us, and it is estimated that now Ouchi Yoshihiro is also angry." ”

"It turns out that you burned their port, and I heard that the navy of the Japanese country is very weak?" Lao Zhu also raised his eyebrows when he heard this.

"Your Majesty, my Ming sea ship is tall and sturdy, with artillery on the deck, which can be called a strong ship and a good artillery, and it is almost invincible at sea, and only a few small boats can be built, so it is naturally not the opponent of my Ming navy!" Li Jie said proudly.

Later Zheng He's fleet under the South Seas did not appear out of thin air, but relied on the accumulation of thousands of years of shipbuilding technology in the Central Plains Dynasty, although the Ming Dynasty did not attach much importance to the navy, but it was still far beyond foreign countries on warships, if this can be used well, Li Jie is confident that he will open the age of navigation in advance.

"The battle of Baijiangkou in the Tang Dynasty was to defeat the Japanese navy with fewer victories, and it is estimated that it was because of the sharpness of the Tang army's warships, it seems that hundreds of years have passed, and the shipbuilding technology of the Japanese people has not improved!" Lao Zhu heard Li Jie's exaggerated shipbuilding technology, and immediately smiled with great relief.

Li Jie's words also reminded Lao Zhu of the battle of Poyang Lake between him and Chen Youliang, when Chen Youliang's warships were advanced, and his troops were three times his, almost forcing Lao Zhu to a desperate situation, but he finally turned the tables and won the other party, but for Chen Youliang's advanced warships, he still had lingering palpitations, and now the feng shui is turning, and it is finally his turn to crush others with advanced warships.

"Since that Ouchi Yoshihiro is a fierce general of the Wa Kingdom, it should be very difficult to deal with, it seems that it will take a lot of effort to capture Iwami Province in the future!" Lao Zhu suddenly said to himself with a contemplative expression at this time.

"Your Majesty, the unification of the Northern and Southern Dynasties of the Wa Kingdom is imminent, and the current shogun Ashikaga Yoshimitsu is also a generation of heroes, Ouchi Yoshihiro has made great achievements, and Ashikaga Yoshimitsu has long been wary of him, I think we can work hard from here!" Li Jie suggested again.

Thanks to the blessing of the games and comics of the Wakoku in later generations, Li Jie also understands the history of the Wakoku, especially the grievances between Ashikaga Yoshimitsu and Ouchi Yoshihiro, which is a bright spot in the history of the Wakoku, so he clearly knows that just a few years after Ashikaga Yoshimitsu unified the Northern and Southern Dynasties, he soon forced Ouchi Yoshihiro to rebel, but unfortunately Ouchi Yoshihiro died in battle, resulting in this rebellion ending in failure, which is called "Onaga's Rebellion" in the history of Wakoku.

It is also worth mentioning that the current Emperor of Wakuni is Emperor Go-Komatsu, and legend has it that the famous monk Ikyu is the illegitimate son of this emperor, but Ikyu should not have been born yet.

"Is there discord between the monarch and the minister, this is a good opportunity!" Lao Zhu also narrowed his eyes when he heard this, stroked his beard and said.

"By the way, there is another important thing, the Ouchi clan has always claimed to be the descendants of the king of Baekje, and they only moved to the Wa country after the fall of Baekje, and they did not think that they were Wakoku, but called themselves Tolai people, and even asked Goryeo a few years ago, hoping that Goryeo would give up a piece of Baekje's homeland so that they could establish a port to trade with Goryeo." Li Jie suddenly thought of one more thing, so he spoke again.

When Lao Zhu heard this, he stood up suddenly, and a light burst out in his eyes, because Li Jie's words also reminded him at once, and he thought of how to take down Iwamiko!
