Chapter 205: A Basket of Good Words
After Qiu Ping met Zhu Yuanzhang, he soon took his cronies to Zhangzhou.
Along with it came the 2,000 soldiers of the Shenji Battalion who he carefully selected, and these soldiers were the foundation for his achievements here.
After he came to Zhangzhou, he immediately set up camp and prepared to crusade against the Japanese invaders.
Although there were no more ironclad warships here, with a few ferryboats, he still wanted to try his hand at fighting the Japanese Invaders.
The soldiers of the Shenji Battalion can conduct any form of combat under any conditions, not to mention, this is the elite of the Ming elite, and it will never be ashamed.
Five days later, Zhu Yuanzhang once again received a war report from Zhangzhou.
The battle report was concise and to the point, the words were very simple, and the matter was also expressed very smoothly: the officers and men of the Shenji Battalion were all wiped out, and Qiu Ping was captured.
Zhu Yuanzhang completely smashed the cup, he glared at the ministers present and roared.
"Didn't you say that by transferring the Shenji Battalion to the front line, you can turn defeat into victory? What is the situation now, and can any of you tell me? ”
Zhao Guobin, the left deputy capital Yushi, was still continuing his performance, first giving a salute, and then saying to Zhu Yuanzhang.
"This is just a defeat, after all, the imperial court has a large army of hundreds of thousands of troops, guarding a small Zhangzhou, just send soldiers to go, why should Your Majesty be angry."
Zhu Yuanzhang's annoyance is indescribable, if he hadn't listened to this old boy's words, he wouldn't have combed his underwear so cleanly.
He immediately ordered Jinyi Wei to drag Zhao Guobin out of the martial arts, first hit the thirty court staff to live or die, and then left the stunned Liubu Jiuqing there, and left directly.
At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang remembered again that he also had a big nephew, Lu Ning.
Wen Neng put pen to peace in the world, Wu Neng set the horse to set the world, this nephew is his own minister of the sky, so he can't be wronged again no matter what.
Zhu Yuanzhang directly told the crown prince Zhu Biao.
"During this time, you yourself are watching the movements in the court, if there is anything, you can handle it yourself as the prince of the prison country, let's go to Changning again, no matter what, you must ask De Zi'an to go out of the mountain again and go to Zhangzhou to exterminate the Japanese invaders."
Hearing this, Zhu Biao sighed, and he was still a little embarrassed in his heart.
"Father, the son thinks that Zi'an has suffered such a big grievance, and he must not be willing to go out of the mountain to serve the court again, and this time he has made a contribution to the disaster relief and thieves for the court, not only did he not receive a reward, but he ended up unloading his armor and returning to his hometown, and there are many injustices in the court."
Zhu Yuanzhang also sighed, he is the emperor after all, although Emperor Hongwu is an iron-fisted emperor, the so-called balance of the court, he will occasionally do something that he is not willing to do.
Hearing Zhu Biao say this, he also replied.
"Zi'an, this kid has a pure heart, and he has paid everything for the court, we have wronged him during this time, but this time I invite him out of the mountain, we must make up for everything, as long as he asks, we will agree to anything!"
After Zhu Yuanzhang came to Changning, he found that Lu Ning had returned to his lazy appearance. He handed over all his official affairs to the two assistant officials of the county and the chief bookkeeper.
At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang didn't have any twists and turns, he told Lu Ning directly.
"This time, we are here to invite you out of the mountain on behalf of the imperial court, as long as you are willing to lead troops again to clear out the Japanese in the coastal areas of Zhangzhou, the imperial court is willing to agree to any conditions for you."
Lu Ning shook his head, and he replied to Zhu Yuanzhang helplessly.
"Uncle, what you said is wrong, I am just a mere courtier, how can I make conditions with the court at will, don't you know who Zhu Yuanzhang is? Now I am compromised, and I may be cut down later. ”
Lu Ning's words touched Zhu Yuanzhang a little, he is indeed such a person, and he has not done much to employ people in front of him and not in the back.
However, it is because of the heroes who have different intentions for many people, he has the heart to kill, and for a person with a pure heart like Lu Ning, he treats it as his own son and nephew.
"Zi'an, it's a little wrong for you to say this, after all, the emperor has named you the earl of the dynasty, from a merchant court lord, you are also the most favorable."
Lu Ning shook his head a little indifferently, and he told Zhu Yuanzhang.
"It is precisely because of this earl's title that I have a lot of trouble, from time to time someone wants to impeach me, and it's okay for someone to come to me to find trouble, I'm a rich man, isn't it fragrant to eat and drink? Why do I have the bullshit title of an earl, I have to be an eagle dog minion in the imperial court. ”
After hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang was directly speechless, everyone took the title as a matter of honoring the ancestors, but this title was pure bullshit in Lu Ning's eyes.
"If you don't go out of the mountain, then Zhangzhou will become a base established by the Japanese invaders, where they seem to have entered a no-man's land, and the people and officials and soldiers have all been slaughtered, can you just watch it?"
Lu Ning was a little helpless, he seemed to look at Zhu Yuanzhang like a fool and said.
"This is a meat eater's plan, what does it have to do with me, you are just an imperial merchant in the Department of Domestic Products, don't run errands for the Ministry of War and the Cabinet if you have nothing to do, lest people grab your handle and participate in your copy."
Zhu Yuanzhang knew very well in his heart that Lu Ning was completely cold, after all, this was the suspicion that the imperial court was unloading the mill and killing the donkey.
However, he can't come here in vain this time, no matter what, he must invite Lu Ning out of the mountain and win a great victory in Zhangzhou.
Seeing Zhu Yuanzhang so entangled, Lu Ning didn't say anything more, and directly took a bottle of Fat House Happy Water and handed it to him.
"Actually, things are not so complicated, unless you live up to you, you can't see it, the rolling Yangtze River is passing away, and it has always been a hero who has been swept away by the waves, so whether it is the pig emperor or the dog emperor, it is nothing more than an emperor, and it is not worth me to serve him."
