Chapter 198: Yongguo Water Master Dispatched

Sure enough, Monk Xu's nest can't hide from anyone in Jiangnan. But in a day or two, all the information about Monk Xu's lair arrived in Xu Song's hands.

Very detailed, specific to the location of Monk Xu's lair, the hydrological situation, and even the situation of Monk Xu's subordinates, Xu Song looked at the level of detail of this information, and knew that Monk Xu must have their people, and the position was not low.

However, Xu Song didn't worry about this, he sent this information to Dongyong and waited for the result.

There are many rules and regulations in the negotiations with the Jiangnan side, and it is not easy to negotiate them, and there are even some political conditions that must be negotiated repeatedly, and whether or not the elimination of Monk Xu is a temptation. In such a situation, it is not the same.

Only after Monk Xu's battle can he continue to talk.

All Xu Song can do is wait for the results.

After Zhu Houhuang got this detailed information, his heart moved. He looked at Monk Xu's strength, although Monk Xu's strength was not weak, it was still a lot worse than the strength of the Yongguo Water Division. The main force of the Yongguo Navy Division may not be able to deal with the Franc man, but it is not something that even a single Monk Xu can't deal with.

Zhu Houhuang's long-lost heart sprouted again.

He was going to go out in person.

Zhu Houhuang understands that in the future, the focus of Yongguo must be on the sea. Therefore, if Zhu Houhuang wants to implement the principle that the government is the prime minister and the army is the king, he must establish his prestige among the sailors.

What is the best way to establish prestige in the army, to lead the army to victory? Always winning. No matter how Zhu Houhuang calculates, this battle is a knife and a chicken, and there is almost no possibility of failure. Zhu Houhuang didn't know much about water warfare, so he just started learning from the simplest aspect.

Of course, there is also a glimmer of unspeakable apprehension.

The strength of the Xu family is already too great.

Although Xu Lan is Zhu Houhuang's wife, the power of the Xu family is also Zhu Houhuang's basic plate. But Zhu Houhuang couldn't let the Xu family have too much power. At least, Zhu Houhuang also intended to limit Xu Dong's prestige among the sailors.

I have to say that there are still few talents in Zhu Houhuang's entrainment. In terms of sailors, Zhu Houhuang didn't know who to entrust this battle to, except for Xu Dong. Zhu Houhuang also wanted to pass this battle, and selecting talents was also one of the reasons why he had to go out in person.

It's just that as soon as his decision came out, it immediately caused an uproar. The first to react was none other than the Empress Dowager Wu.

After Zhu Houhuang got married. The Wu family doesn't care much about Zhu Houhuang. She saw that what Zhu Houhuang did was very orderly, and the wild land of the master became fertile soil little by little in her eyes. also understands that he can't compare to Zhu Houhuang in terms of knowledge. Even when Zhu Houhuang went out to conquer the Potbelly Tribe, the Wu clan did not come forward to stop it.

But this time it was different, and in Wu's view, it was absolutely different on land and at sea.

"My son, just a little thief, you will go out in person, the waves on the sea are undecided, in case there is anything missing, how can you let your mother live?" Wu said worriedly.

Zhu Houhuang said: "Mother doesn't have to worry, didn't I come over like this in the Taiwan naval battle?" This time it was just a small battle, and Tarzan was overpowered, but it was just a matter of hand-to-hand capture. ”

Zhu Houhuang was so good at talking that he persuaded the Wu family.

After Zhu Houhuang persuaded the Wu family, he had to face another person, but this person was not easy to convince, this person was Lu Wan.

Lu Wan said unceremoniously: "Your Highness has set up hundreds of officials to deal with the affairs of Yongguo, and they are performing their duties, if Your Highness does not believe in Lord Xu, the commander of the sailor, please change him, why do you need to recruit it in person, once it is lost, what is the society of Yongguo?" ”

Lu Wan is not so easy to fool, Zhu Houhuang said solemnly: "What Mr. said is very true, but Mr. can know the ambition of Lonely." ”

Lu Wan said: "I want to hear about it." ”

Zhu Houhuang said: "Westerners can chop waves and travel tens of thousands of miles, come to my Ming Dynasty, and lead thousands of ships and travel tens of thousands of miles." Expand the territory and exalt tens of thousands of miles away. ”

"Your Highness wants to do something old for the Three Treasures?" Lu Wan frowned. Zheng He's evaluation of going to the West in the entire Ming Dynasty and even the Qing Dynasty was not positive, and Lu Wan felt a little uncomfortable when he heard Zhu Houhuang say this.

"Definitely." Zhu Houhuang said. "What you want to do alone is far above the Three Treasure Eunuchs, and the fleet of the Three Treasure Eunuchs is like a fleeting light, but it is fleeting in the Western Ocean. And Lone wants to let the Ming Dynasty shine like the sun and the moon on the West. Zhu Houhuang paused slightly and said, "What does Mr. think of Dongyong?" ”

"It's just a desert island." Lu Wan said.

"How will Dongyong be ten years later?" Zhu Houhuang then asked.

Lu Wan groaned slightly, he felt that ten years later, although Dongyong could open up a lot of places, it was still not as good as the mainland, and said: "It is also a poor and remote land." ”

"So what about a hundred years from now? Can it be with the Han land? Zhu Houhuang asked.

Lu Wan was speechless for a while, but he already believed in this answer in his heart.

Zhu Houhuang didn't wait for Lu Wan to answer, so he continued: "Lonely all the way to the west, conquer the countries you see, and seal the descendants of the sons." For example, three generations of old things, more than a hundred years later, all over the country are like Han land, so you can smile when you are alone under the nine springs. ”

With a "collapse", one of the beards that Lu Wan was pinching was broken by himself, but he didn't feel it, he was intoxicated by the blueprint drawn by Zhu Houhuang for him. For a moment, there was a feeling of sudden realization.

Lu Wan looked at Zhu Houhuang again, this time seeing that although Zhu Houhuang was only a teenager, he felt that there was a layer of light shining on Zhu Houhuang's body, and this layer of light was called the Saint King.

Originally, Zhu Houhuang wanted to open up Dongyong's feat, Lu Wan said a lot, but he also admired it in his heart, and looked at Zhu Houhuang a few times, not everyone can get the assistance of a former official of the Ministry of Heaven.

At this moment, when he heard Zhu Houhuang's true ambition, he suddenly felt a deafening feeling. He bowed for a long time and said, "The minister will definitely assist His Highness in achieving this grand wish." ”

For a while, Lu Wan had a kind of hatred, hating that he was born too early, hating himself for being too old, and he was destined to not be able to assist Zhu Houhuang to complete such a grand wish.

Zhu Houhuang hurriedly helped Lu Wan up and said, "It is a great luck to have Mr. to assist." ”

Lu Wan immediately left, no longer dissuading Zhu Houhuang a word. Lu Wan returned to his room, cried three times, laughed three times, as if returning to the time when he was studying, he was knowledgeable, sincere, and ruled the country and the world together.

Lu Wan immediately began to work with an attitude that was several times more serious than before.

Zhu Houhuang's expedition was no longer dissuaded.

Zhu Houhuang gathered all the Yongguo naval divisions, because this time there was an attack on the island, and also brought Yongwang's own soldiers, starting from Dayuan, staying at sea for a while, and waiting for the round of the Ryukyu detachment brought by Xu Dong, and the guide from Jiangnan was also converged. Under the guidance of the guide, the fleet headed in the direction of Zhejiang.

Monk Xu's lair is in the Zhoushan Islands, but in the end, it is the modern island, Zhu Houhuang himself did not distinguish, first, he was not very familiar with the Zhoushan Islands. Second, there are some gaps between ancient and modern islands.

From the big man to Zhoushan, plus the time to wait for the round, it took more than a day.

In the afternoon of the next day, Xu Dong gave Zhu Houhuang guidance: "In that direction, this island is Monk Xu's lair." ”

Zhu Houhuang raised the clairvoyant mirror and looked over, but saw that there was not an island, but several islands surrounding a bay. It is a natural harbor. Before Zhu Houhuang could take a closer look, he suddenly saw a beacon smoke burning. It was as long as a long sword, slashing through the sky.

Zhu Houhuang said: "It seems that we have been discovered. Now that you've been discovered, let's take action. ”

"Yes."

Xu Dong was by Zhu Houhuang's side, in case of consultation, and the main force of the Yongguo Navy Division was divided into four groups to surround the islands, blocking all the passages that could escape.

The strength of the Yongguo Water Master is sufficient, even if it is divided into four, it is greater than the entire strength of Monk Xu. Zhu Houhuang didn't think about what method to use at all, that is, to use strength to suppress people.

This battle was not only the beginning of Zhu Houhuang's own study of naval warfare, but also Zhu Houhuang's examination of all his sailor members.

If you can't even deal with a few pirates, how can you deal with the Franc man.
