The letter was directly taken to the Fuwang Mansion by Dong Qinghai, and after Zhu Houwei read it, he said to Huang Gonggong with a calm face, "Prepare the carriage and go to the palace." ”

When I arrived at Youranju, the whole family was there, and when I saw Zhu Houwei with a serious face, I felt that something big might happen, and sure enough, Zhu Houwei took out the letter and handed it to Hongzhi, and after a while, Hongzhi handed it to the anxious Zhu Houzhao with an angry face.

After reading it, Zhu Houzhao shouted angrily: "Incompetent." Hongzhi asked Zhu Houzhao with a calm face, "Have you thought about how to deal with it?" ”

Zhu Houzhao took a deep breath, and then said, "There are not many Japanese invaders, there is no need to mobilize a large army, it takes too long, and now we should send an elite army to suppress it, and at the same time send ministers to provide relief and appease." Hongji continued, "What do you see going on?" Zhu Houzhao immediately replied, "The Shandong Guard's combat strength is not good, the armament is lax, and the Dengzhou Navy Division is incompetent, so he can't defend himself on the sea." The laxity of civil officials and their defenselessness are a shame for the Ming Dynasty. ”

Hongzhi nodded lightly, and then looked at Zhu Houwei, "Do you have anything to add?" Zhu Houwei said expressionlessly, "For such a big matter, only the Dengzhou camp is reported in the book, it seems that the governor of Shandong should have something to think about." Today is the fourth day of the sixth month, and the messenger from the overland should arrive 800 miles in a hurry yesterday. Hongji nodded and didn't ask again.

Zhu Houzhao was anxious, "The top priority is to send troops to expel and annihilate the Japanese as soon as possible, so it is better to let the water and land battalions in Tianjin go, and take the waterway, which can be reached in 5 days at most." ”

Zhu Houwei said, "No matter where the troops are transferred, it will take time, and in a few days, maybe the Japanese will return to the sea, so the best way is to send a naval army to see if they can intercept it at sea, Dengzhou Sailor has been peaceful for a long time, there are few ships, and the number is less than 600, so it is best to send water and land battalions to go." As for Dengzhou, a minister can be sent to pacify the people, and as for the army, the local guard station of Dengzhou can also be dispatched, and there will be basically no land battles. Daddy, although the water and land battalion has been training for more than a year, it is still the first naval battle, and the child is ready to go to supervise the battle. ”

Hongji pondered for a while, nodded and agreed. Zhu Houzhao immediately said urgently, "Daddy, the child is the commander of the land and water battalion, and he should lead the team to participate in the battle, so let the child go." Hongji stretched out his left hand, pressed his eyebrows, shook his head lightly, and said calmly, "Nonsense." Zhu Houzhao was like an eggplant beaten by frost, and he suddenly lost his spirit.

Zhu Houwei immediately got up, "Without further ado, the child will set off." Koji nodded. Empress Zhang and the little girl were about to send him outside, but they were stopped by Zhu Houwei.

Bai Yulian looked at the absent-minded Zhu Houzhao, and suddenly pinched his arm, and Zhu Houzhao immediately looked at Bai Yulian in surprise. I saw Bai Yulian leaning over and whispered, "What are you still thinking?" You didn't pay attention to Hou Wei's glance at you just now, and if you didn't catch up, he must have something to say to you. ”

Zhu Houzhao immediately got up and said, "I'll send off the second brother." Then he walked out of the door quickly and caught up with Zhu Houwei. Zhu Houwei actually didn't go far, and when he heard the footsteps behind him, he stopped, and couldn't help but smile when he saw Zhu Houzhao running.

Zhu Houzhao also smiled and said, "You have to protect yourself when you get to sea, even if the Longjiang can't beat the other party, but no one can stop you if you want to go." Zhu Houwei nodded, "You are now His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of the Ming Dynasty, and it is estimated that it is impossible to go to the battlefield until the time of life and death." But isn't this time to send the minister to Shandong to pacify, I think it is better for the prince to come forward to appease the people. Zhu Houzhao was first overjoyed when he heard this, and then depressed, "When I get there, what else will happen to me?" ”

Zhu Houzhao was also helpless, so he had to say, "Then you pray that I will destroy the Japanese ships, so that they can only stay in Shandong and wait for you to come." Zhu Houzhao smiled: "Then you have to leave some for me." Zhu Houwei nodded and walked quickly.

When he arrived at King Fu's Mansion, as soon as he entered the gate, he immediately asked Gonggong Huang to prepare the horses, and Dong Qinghai went back to mobilize dozens of people with better riding skills. This time I will go to Tianjin day and night, and pursue a fast one. I also went to the house and took out the special equipment of the military factory for myself.

As soon as I got out of the bedroom, I found that the Xiaohuan sisters were looking at them with a resentful expression, and Qingmei said pitifully, "The prince is going out, how can he do it without someone to serve him, why don't you take our sisters there." Zhu Houwei said with a smile, "I'm going to the battlefield, I'm riding a horse all the way, you can't ride a horse, how can I take you?" ”

At this time, Steward Xiao, who was standing behind, said, "It's better to let them follow Gonggong Huang to Tianjin, the prince will definitely pass through Tianjin after returning triumphantly from Shandong." Looking at the charming and mature housekeeper Xiao, Zhu Houwei had no choice but to nod in compromise. The Xiaohuan sisters also came to the spirit, but Zhu Houwei didn't say anything, walked out of the villa directly, stepped on the war horse and went straight to the south of the capital.

Out of the capital, Dong Qinghai was already waiting there with dozens of people, all of them fully armed, leading war horses beside them. Dong Qinghai came to Zhu Houwei's side, about to say something, Zhu Houwei waved his hand to stop, "This time, you are good at guarding the road construction team in the capital, the most important thing at this time is that there can be no accidents." In the past, there were bandits and bandits in the land of Gyeonggi, and there must be these people in other provinces as the cement road entered, so now you go back and immediately expand the training, the capital sent 1,000 people to protect the road, and 1,000 people stayed in the camp, and this expansion will recruit 5,000 people, and you are not afraid of no war in the future. Dong Qinghai's eyes lit up, and then he arched his hand and said, "Second young master, take care." Zhu Houwei nodded and led the team to Tianjin.

This time the horseback riding basically did not stop, but fortunately, Zhu Houwei has not practiced equestrianism in recent years. In those days, there were no cars, and it was difficult to even get a bicycle, so equestrianism was very important. Even so, when he arrived at the Tianjin water and land camp, Zhu Houwei felt that his ass was about to fall apart. In less than a day, the team arrived in Tianjin and entered the camp, where Wu Yiheng and others were already waiting.

Zhu Houwei didn't enter the Central Military Mansion either, and asked directly, "Are you ready?" Wu Yiheng was stunned for a moment, and then said, "Ready, you can set off at any time." Zhu Houwei saw that he wanted to speak and stopped, so he said loudly, "What's the matter, say it quickly." ”

Wu Yiheng was shocked, and then he spoke, "Zhu Yuan took the Longjiang to Dengzhou on May 31, and he hasn't come back yet. Zhu Houwei frowned, "Anyway, let's go to Dengzhou first." ”

This time, there were actually three boats that set off for Dengzhou, a big fortune boat, and two days No. 2 fortune boat. In addition to the crew, there were a total of 500 sailors, Tianjin is very important now, so more than 1,000 people were left to guard here.

Wu Yiheng and Zhu Houwei were both on the Dafu ship, and at this time, Wu Yiheng slowly told what happened.

(Ask for collections, ask for recommendations, I hope you will be able to see the officials.) ）
