Finally, from Hu Guang, I asked for an article to mourn Ashikaga Yoshikyo.

Zhang Anshi didn't bother to read it, so he directly asked someone to send it to the newspaper office of Di Bao and let it be published quickly.

On the other hand, Zhang Anshi's charter was also presented.

Zhang Anshi almost divided the kingdom into five, and then divided it into four imperial grandsons.

After Zhu Di read it, he didn't say much. He was also not clear about the situation of the Wa Kingdom, and after thinking for a while, he summoned the crown prince, Zhang Anshi, and the four imperial grandsons to meet him.

These four imperial grandchildren, the second Zhu Zhanjun and the fourth Zhu Zhanyin, are all from one of the prince's concubines, Li, as for the third Zhu Zhanyong and Zhu Zhanrong, they are all the sons of the crown princess Zhang.

Most of them are adults, in fact, the Zhang family has a son, but because he is young, he did not participate in the canonization.

This Zhu Zhanyong and Zhu Zhanrong met Zhang Anshi before entering the noon gate.

When the two saw Zhang Anshi, they were very intimate, and they were chattering with joy, Zhu Zhanyong said with a smile: "Uncle, the mother concubine scolded you again, saying that you taught us badly." ”

Zhu Zhan said: "The original words of the mother concubine are that my uncle is not at home all day, and no one is ......."

Zhang Anshi said with a smile: "Don't talk about this." When I enter the palace later, I see your imperial grandfather, deal with it carefully, your imperial grandfather is very fierce, if you know what you do on weekdays, carefully peel off your skin. ”

Zhu Zhan stuck out his tongue, too frightened to make a sound.

But Zhu Zhanyong didn't care, and said with a wink: "No matter how ridiculous I am, can I have my second uncle's absurdity when he was young?" He didn't even peel the skin, where is my turn? ”

Zhang Anshi glared at him and said, "You kid, don't insult King Han behind your back, I am a brother to him, and I can't listen to this." ”

Zhu Zhanyong became even more imposing, and said: "Okay, then put aside the second uncle, the mother concubine also said that when my uncle was my age, he didn't go to the house for three days......"

Zhang Anshi stepped forward, slammed one hand around his neck, and covered his mouth with the other: "Shut up, don't give me nonsense, obediently follow me into the palace, so that I can be a saint." ”

On the other side, Zhu Zhanjun and Zhu Zhanyin followed from a distance, and did not come over, they saw that Zhang Anshi and Zhu Zhanyong were so close, and they couldn't help but feel a little envious in their eyes.

When the eunuch led everyone into the hall, everyone saluted Zhu Di.

Zhu Di saw these imperial grandchildren, but he was not as intimate as seeing Zhu Zhanji.

Instead, he swept their faces with a cold face, and after looking at them for a while, he said: "You have all grown up, you are all the oldest, the so-called family and business, your uncles and cousins have all made contributions overseas early, and now it is finally your turn." ”

Zhu Di's face became more and more stern: "It is the iron law of this dynasty for the princes and grandsons to go out of the town, and now that you are adults, you should do the same." ”

These emperors and grandsons were still quite afraid of Zhu Di, and the four of them did not dare to come out, so they hurriedly kowtowed, and said respectfully one by one: "Obey the order." ”

Zhu Di stood up, with his hands behind his back, pacing again, and said: "This time I will teach you to go out of the town, but you still need to wait for some time, when the army enters Fusang, and then I will give you military households, civilian households, and artisan households to go to the Wa Kingdom to settle, but I have already selected the various feudal lands for you...... And I lost it, and showed it to them. ”

After hearing this, he didn't dare to slack off, so he hurriedly took the map presented by Zhang Anshi and sent it to the four emperors and grandsons.

The two of them, Zhu Zhanyong and Zhu Zhanyong, only glanced at them casually, and said, "Sun Chen obeys the order." ”

And Zhu Zhanyin took a look, but his domain was on a large island in the north of the Wa Kingdom. He hesitated for a moment, and finally kowtowed, "Sun Chen obeys." ”

Only the second child, Zhu Zhanjun, pursed his lips and hesitated for a long time without answering.

Zhu Di looked at him, raised his eyebrows and said, "Why don't you make a sound?" ”

Zhu Zhanjun said: "Sun Chen...... Sun Chen...... Nor ...... No comments......"

Zhu Di frowned, seeing that he was so unhappy, he couldn't help but say, "But it seems that you should have something to say!" What do you have to say, it doesn't hurt to be blunt, you are in the East Palace, except for Zhan Ji, the oldest, out of the town of the Wa Kingdom, among the four princes, you are their brother, what are the words, it is unspeakable? ”

Zhu Zhanjun showed hesitation on his face, and after thinking for a long time, he said tremblingly: "Sun Chen's domain, facing Korea across the sea, is indeed good logically speaking, but Sun Chen does not dare to accept it. ”

As soon as these words came out, Zhu Gaochi was the first to frown.

Zhang Anshi is still smiling.

Zhu Di's face did not change, he was the son of heaven who relied on Jing Difficulty, and naturally knew that the biggest hidden danger of Emperor Taizu Gao was to treat his children and grandchildren, although he loved him, but there was still a difference in his attitude towards his children and grandchildren, which laid the root of the bane, so that Jianwen and the vassal kings had a huge estrangement.

For Zhu Di, if his grandson feels that something is inappropriate, it is better to speak out than to bury it in his heart.

So he said, "Don't you look down on this place?" ”

Zhu Zhanjun said: "It's Sun Chen who doesn't dare to specialize in beauty. ”

He said this, as if he was saying that his domain was very good, but he didn't dare to accept it, and he had a bit of a posture of letting pears melt.

But who is not a human spirit standing here? However, it was already evident that his intention was to say that he, as the eldest of the four imperial grandsons, felt that his domain was not appropriate.

Zhu Di rolled his eyes slightly, and glanced at Zhang Anshi.

Zhang Anshi immediately said: "Your Majesty, the domain here is the best, and Zhan Jun is old, so the minister ordered him to guard here......"

Zhu Di nodded.

That being said, it is clear that some people don't seem to believe it.

After all...... Zhang Anshi is the uncle of Zhu Zhanyong and Zhu Zhanrong, and the second and fourth children are separated by a layer, and even in detail, they have nothing to do with each other.

Isn't it natural for an uncle to favor his own nephews and leave the benefits to them?

For Zhu Zhanjun, it's a different matter.

He knew that his mother's status was not high, and it was a foregone conclusion that he would go to the feudal town, and he might never be able to return to Nanjing City in his life.

The division of the domain is very important, not only determining his life, but also determining the fate of his descendants!

So at this time, he knew very well that he could take advantage of the opportunity to grab more benefits in front of his imperial grandfather, so he would grab more, otherwise, once it was a foregone conclusion, then he might never have such an opportunity again in his life.

So although he was a little timid in his heart, he made up his mind, so he stubbornly said: "Such a good domain, Sun Chen thinks that it is better to give it to the third brother...... I implore the emperor to fulfill it. ”

The third brother is Zhu Zhanyong, speaking of which, several nephews, except for the eldest Zhu Zhanji, Zhu Zhanyong and Zhang Anshi have the best relationship, from Zhu Zhanji to go out alone to experience, Zhu Zhanyong grew up a little, as long as Zhang Anshi went to the East Palace on weekdays, Zhu Zhanyong was like a fart, always looking for opportunities to follow this uncle.

Although this Zhu Zhanjun does not know the situation of the Wa Kingdom, he knows that this Zhu Zhanyong must be able to get the best piece of domain, and if he is replaced, he will never suffer.

Zhu Di frowned, in his heart, he also knew everyone's thoughts.

Zhang Anshi must be close to his own nephew, so he will favor Zhu Zhanyong and Zhu Zhandong.

And Zhu Zhanjun was a little dissatisfied with this, so he asked to replace the fief.

As far as Zhu Di is concerned, they are all his grandchildren, except for Zhu Zhanji, who is his own hope, the rest of them are also their own flesh and blood, and the palms and backs of their hands are all meat, but they are treated the same.

Zhang Anshi said: "Does Zhan Jun really think so? Do you really want to replace? ”

Zhu Zhanjun nodded.

Zhang Anshi sighed and said: "This domain is blessed, once it is replaced, you don't have to regret it." ”

Zhu Zhanjun said without hesitation: "No complaints, no regrets."

Zhang Anshi then said to Zhu Di: "Your Majesty, Zhan Jun is the oldest among the emperors and grandsons, and the minister originally hoped that he would go out of the best domain of the Zhen Wei Kingdom, but since he insisted on doing so, then the minister also thought that it would be more appropriate to replace his domain with Zhan Yong's domain." ”

Zhu Di glanced at Zhang Anshi meaningfully, and then bowed his head: "If this is the case, then it is decided." ”

It's just such a small episode, which makes Zhu Di a little disliked.

Although Zhu Di started by cutting his nephew, it is precisely because of this that Zhu Di pays special attention to the harmony of his children and grandchildren, but because of the affairs of the domain, the trouble is quite unpleasant, which makes him frown, and his good mood suddenly drops a little, so he waves his hand and signals everyone to retire.

And they withdrew from the temple.

Zhu Gaochi's face was a little pale, obviously this father couldn't help but be disappointed.

It's just that he is too busy now, there are many things to deal with, and he is in a mellow mood, but he didn't scold his sons, just shook his head and left with a little displeasure.

Then Zhu Zhanjun obediently stepped forward and saluted Zhang Anshi: "Uncle, it's me Meng Lang......"

Zhang Anshi glanced at him, sighed, and said, "It's okay." ”

So Zhang Anshi and Zhu Zhanyong and Zhu Zhanrong who were waiting for him left.

Zhu Zhanyong looked at Zhang Anshi's face and said with a little strangeness: "Uncle, I look at you and you seem to be very relaxed." ”

"It's not easy." Zhang Anshi smiled and said, "Actually, Uncle didn't expect that in the end, someone would replace your domain." Originally, Uncle wanted to have a little face, to show that he was selfless, and gave that piece of feng shui treasure to Zhan Jun, but where did he think that he still refused to accept it. ”

Zhu Zhan was stunned for a moment, blinked his eyes and said, "Uncle, what does this mean?" ”

"It's not interesting." Zhang Anshi patted him on the shoulder and said, "You will be rich and noble in the future, and you must remember that your uncle is good to you." ”

Zhu Zhanyong was even more stunned, and said in a daze: "Ah...... This ......"

Zhang Anshi said: "By the way, do you want to develop your domain in the future?" If you want to develop, Xinzhou, you need people, you want machinery, you can hire uncle's people, let's have a joint venture......"

"Joint venture ......" Zhu Zhanyong was confused and said, "What does a joint venture do?" ”

Zhang Anshi said with a smile: "Of course it's to earn money, we join forces and go into battle with our uncles and nephews, and in a few years, we will be the richest vassal king in the world." ”

Zhu Zhanyong said in disbelief: "Uncle won't lie to me, right?" ”

He was suspicious of Zhang Anshi, after all...... Zhang Anshi has a criminal record.

Zhang Anshi touched his shoulder and said, "Hey...... Let's go back and talk about this matter in detail, but we are not in a hurry, and we can't eat hot tofu in a hurry...... Let's wait for the good news from my two brothers. ”

…………

On the other hand, after the two brothers Zhu Zhanjun and Zhu Zhanyin said goodbye to Zhang Anshi, they returned directly to the East Palace.

Zhu Zhanyin waited until he returned to his residence, and then he said to Zhu Zhanjun who was pulled over worriedly: "Second brother, how can you be so bold and dare to say such things in front of the imperial grandfather......"

Zhu Zhanjun smiled bitterly: "There is no way to do this. Although our two brothers are also emperors and grandsons, there is a world of difference between the emperor's grandson and the emperor's grandson. Naturally, I don't dare to compare with the eldest brother, he is the eldest grandson, and he will succeed the great unification in the future, and no one dares to have any wishful thinking. But soon after, our brothers were going to go to sea, and went our separate ways, and from then on, we ended up at the ends of the earth, this domain...... Shouldn't there be a fight? If you don't fight, you may not have a chance for the rest of your life. ”

Zhu Zhanyin said with a puzzled face: "But Uncle said it clearly...... The domain that was originally given to you was best ......"

Zhu Zhanjun looked at Zhu Zhanyin like an idiot and said: "You are really the number one fool in the world, although we want to call King Song as our uncle, but in fact, you and I are brothers, and he has no real relationship!" How could he give us such a benefit for no reason? These are just rhetoric! I may not understand overseas affairs, but people's hearts ...... But I do. ”

Zhu Zhanyin tilted his head and thought about it for a long time, then became depressed and said, "What the second brother said makes sense, hey...... Who made our mother concubine...... It's not as good as people...... We don't have such an uncle either. ”

He hung his head and sighed.

Zhu Zhanjun said: "In any case, this time I questioned in front of the imperial grandfather, and the imperial grandfather at this time could not favor others like King Song." Since he agreed to the replacement of this domain, although this time, it may dislike the emperor's grandfather, father, and King Song, but at least the goal has been achieved. When we become vassals in the future, you and my brothers will be in the kingdom of Wa forever, and they will be beyond their reach, so we will take care of ourselves at that time. ”

Saying that, Zhu Zhanjun was proud in his heart, this time it was indeed a bit risky, but he finally achieved his goal, and it must be excellent to get Zhu Zhanyong's domain, this should be the best domain selected by Zhang Anshi, which is enough for him to live overseas in the future.

…………

A military horse is landing in a harbor, which is indeed a natural harbor, very good, a large number of sea ships directly approaching, and then, countless military horses have landed one after another.

Immediately after that, a local samurai was answered.

These samurai have already received secret reports, knowing that the Ming army is about to enter the army, there are many, all of them are supporting the Ashikaga family, this Ashikaga family, in the Wa country as the general of the expedition, there are six generations, operating for nearly a hundred years, their retainers, has long been all over the Wa country, although this time caused the opposition of the entire Wa country, but their supporters, but there are not a few.

Therefore, these retainers are still in various parts of the Japanese kingdom, resisting stubbornly. At this time, when they heard the news that the Ming army had helped the Ashikaga family to quell the rebellion, they were naturally also encouraged, and after despair, their morale was greatly boosted.

A group of retainers and samurai had already gathered here, waiting for Zhang Xuan and others to land, and then went to see it.

The first person saluted Zhang Xuan.

Zhang Xuan bowed his head and asked for his name, only to learn that the other party was the local feudal lord Edo clan.

The Edo clan, which dates back hundreds of years, has been living here, and at this time, hundreds of people have come to take refuge.

When facing business, Zhang Xuan is still serious, plus he has been a general for many years, he is still very powerful, and at this time he said with a straight face: "Your men and horses are gathered and used as auxiliaries, as guides for us, or to dredge the grain road for us." The rest of the time, you don't have to bother. ”

The Edo clan was greatly surprised, and said, "General, what we have brought this time are all elite soldiers, among whom are brave samurai...... There were more than three hundred and seventy people, and the rest of the guards ......"

Zhang Xuan said: "Needless to say, just do it." ”

Zhang Xuan's dominance made the Ashikaga retainers and samurai led by the Edo clan more or less dissatisfied.

Although I have been looking forward to the arrival of the Great Tomorrow soldiers, who knows, this Great Tomorrow soldiers obviously don't value them.

What's more, the scale of the Ming army that came here this time was not large, but it was only about 3,000 people, which made them even more worried.

You must know that the scale of this rebellion is too large, and the 3,000 Ming troops at this time should be temporarily held here, and then wait for the continuous arrival of the army to make plans.

But Zhang Xuan didn't seem to agree, thinking that the soldiers were fast, and he insisted on starting the attack immediately.

This made the Edo clan feel more and more that the situation had reached such a point that even if the Great Tomorrow Soldier was so arrogant, he might not be able to redeem the defeat.

At the moment, they were nervous, but soon, they realized...... What I thought before was all wrong.

When the rebels realized that the vanguard of the Ming Dynasty had arrived, they also began to assemble, and tens of thousands of elite soldiers rushed to Edo with great vigour.

A big war is imminent.

Obviously, the rebels also hope that they can quickly defeat this heavenly army, saving them a lot of nights.

The two sides then engaged in a major battle in the Edo area.

As soon as the war began, there was the roar of artillery.

As far as the eye can see, the sky is full of fire and rain.

The rebels were shocked, and the warriors in armor watched the rain of fire fall, and there was roar and gunsmoke everywhere, and they taught them to fly flesh and blood in an instant.

Soon, the Ming army began to approach under the roar of artillery.

This tactic of coordinated infantry and artillery is the most important training subject of the model battalion, using artillery to disrupt the enemy's position, and then the infantry attack, which is enough to make any enemy unable to parry and fight back.

However, the Edo clan and others who lived in the rear saw the most terrifying scene in the world, the more than 10,000 elite rebels only collapsed in an instant, and then, before the war began, it became a one-sided slaughter in a short period of time.
