After the banquet, Zhu Zhangui gave the officers and men of the whole army a few days off.

After a few days of enjoying themselves, the officers and men of the whole army began to pack up their things and prepare to go back.

There is still a big battle to be fought next, and the little gourd has already chosen to surrender, and the little gourd is about to come to an end for the time being.

On the fifth day after the banquet, Zhu Zhangui held a military meeting.

After discussion at the meeting, it was decided to leave a corps and a naval detachment of five ships to garrison Izumo and Iwami.

In terms of candidates, Zhu Zhangui, after careful consideration, decided to let Shen An, the commander of the second regiment of the Shenji Battalion, lead the troops to garrison the two places.

The navy divided five warships and formed a small detachment as a maritime patrol force.

The reason why so many people were left was mainly because they were worried that the little gourds would not be convinced, and they would come over to attack while the large army had left.

Once the remainder was confirmed, the fleet began to load the ships and prepare for the return voyage.

It took them more than half a year to fight a small gourd country, and Ah San still has such a long distance, and when they rush over, it will be at least the end of the year.

When I got to Ah San, I had to fight and occupy and rule.

Time is very tight, and they have to hurry.

Zhu Zhangui had already planned to unload his things at Haikou on the Yangtze River Road and set off immediately.

Although I miss my son and several daughters-in-law, national affairs are more important.

All this hard work is for their own future and the future of their children.

As a father, you can't fight hard.

Yongle 13 years in August.

Packed with a full fleet, set sail and returned to Daming.

Jinling, Imperial Palace, Shang Shufang.

"How's it going?"

The old man sat on the carpet, his hands spread out, and a smile on his face protected the little one who stumbled forward.

Zhu Fatpang, who was also sitting opposite and also stretched out his hand to defend himself, heard the old man's words and hurriedly replied.

"It's already good, I've lost more than 10 pounds, and the imperial doctor checked it yesterday and said that there is no big problem, as long as you keep exercising in the future, don't be too tired!"

"Hahaha, my good grandson is amazing!"

caught the little guy who pounced on him, and the old man laughed and kissed the little guy on the cheek.

"Giggle..."

Hearing Grandpa's praise, the little guy also laughed happily, and his little hands clapped hard.

"I'm going to go to Peking after a while, I'll leave it to you at home, if there is any report from the little cub, don't make a decision, pass it to me as soon as possible."

After confirming that his son was fine, the old man finally said his thoughts.

Jinling, the old man is really not used to it, if it weren't for the fact that the Forbidden City in the north has not been built, he would have moved there a long time ago.

Originally, after Beijing last year, the old man did not return to Jinling, but stayed in Beiping.

But in this world it's different.

The old man, who was thinking about his great-grandson, didn't even stay there in Beiping, just rested for the night, and returned to Jinling on the second day.

Now the little one is a little older, and he is no longer as delicate as when he was born.

The old man decided to take the little guy to live in Beiping.

"Dad, it's cold in the north, Yi'er Chen sees that you should stay in Jinling, if you don't worry about it, I'll go over there!"

Zhu Fatpang, how could he let the old man go.

It's not that he is reluctant to let the old man go, but he is worried that the old man will take his grandson with him.

The old man is simply spoiled by the little guy.

I have to take it with me every day, and even when I go to court, I will put the little guy by the dragon chair to accompany me.

This move made Zhu Chupang speechless.

Two years ago, before he became the emperor, his son took the lead in supervising the country.

As a result, this year, his grandchildren are sitting on the dragon chair.

This can make Zhu Chubby very depressed.

Obviously, all this is his own, why haven't he gotten it yet, his sons and grandchildren, they have all experienced it first.

"What are you going to do!"

The old man squinted at Zhu Chubby, took a folding fan, and said while fanning the little guy.

"I plan to take the little guy back to Peking to show your mother, your mother hasn't seen this child since he was born."

"I told her when I was in Beiping, and she probably looked forward to seeing the child for a long time!"

The old man has said this, and Zhu Fatpang naturally doesn't dare to object.

If he dares to object, it is unfilial.

Not to mention the loss of reputation, in fact, he also wanted his mother to see the child.

Besides, the old man just went to the north to see, not to fight, and it didn't cost much.

"Alright then, when are you leaving?"

The old man thought for a while and replied, "Let's wait a few days, I'll leave when the little cub comes back." ”

mentioned Zhu Zhangui, Zhu Chupang hesitated for a long time in his heart, and finally asked the doubts in his heart.

"Dad, where the hell has Jungyu gone, don't tell me, really go to defend against the enemy outside."

The old man turned his head to look at Zhu Fatpang, and affirmed with a serious expression.

"He is really defending against foreign enemies, this matter is true, the prince, you just do your part, you don't have to worry about other things."

Zhu Chubby has a black line.

There's definitely something going on here.

If it is really to defend against foreign enemies, with the powerful strength of the Ming Navy, how strong must the enemy have to be to be able to deal with the Ming Navy for so long.

War is fought with attrition.

From the time of departure to the present, the navy and the Shenji battalion have not asked for supplies at all, and they have not even mentioned food and other supplies.

With such a large army, doesn't it eat food and have no wounded?

The navy has thousands of guns, and every salvo is a huge drain.

If the enemy's strength is really not weak, the two sides must have been at war.

Fighting at sea can be different from on land.

Every war is very costly.

Not to mention ammunition and gunpowder, the maintenance of warships cannot be done by ordinary small docks.

But since the departure of the navy, there have been no warships in the shipyard to repair them, except for the manufacture of warships.

It's even more impossible to fight that Ah Sanguo.

You must know that to fight the three countries, the military department has mobilized 50,000 troops who can fight well.

These troops are still waiting in Quanzhou, Fujian, where the grain and grass prepared by the household department and the artillery shells and gunpowder provided by the artisan battalion are still piled up.

If Zhu Zhangui goes to fight the Three Kingdoms, these supplies and soldiers will definitely be brought with him.

If you want to fight the Japanese invaders, it is even more impossible.

Almost the entire coastal area of the Japanese were almost wiped out, and the remaining one or two small forces were also bulldozed by the coastal sailors.

Now, for the people living along the coast, there is almost no danger other than wind, waves, and natural disasters.

"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Emperor has sent an urgent report!"

Just when Zhu Fatpang was about to probe the wind, the little snot standing by the door took the music from the little eunuch who came outside, walked in quickly, and handed it to the old man.

The old man's eyes lit up slightly, and he knew in his heart that Zhu Zhangui's side should have been settled.

Handing the little guy to Zhu Fatpang, the old man quickly opened the chapter and read it.

"Good!"

After scanning the contents of it, the old man shouted happily when he saw that he had found Iwami Silver Mountain, which was now being mined, and that a large amount of gold and silver had been seized.

Zhu Chupan's eyelids trembled, and he had a bad feeling in his heart.

The two of them must have hidden something from themselves.

Looking at the old man's excited appearance, coupled with this period of time, Xia Yuanji asked the old man mysteriously about the situation.

Zhu Chupang had a bold guess in his heart.

His son may have gone back to his old job and went out to plunder.

No way, he had to think in this direction.

It is obvious that the navy has not encountered foreign enemies, and there are no foreign enemies overseas, and Zhu Zhangui also went out with the navy and his descendant's Shenji battalion.

That could be only one.

The imperial court is short of money again.

His son also found a place to make a fortune.

is also a ruthless old man, and after discussing with his son, he decided to grab a handful.

"Dad, how much did you rob this time!"

Looking at the elated old man, Zhu Chubby put the little guy playing with the fan aside and sat down, and asked the old man leisurely.

"Haha, this time I earned 50 million taels of silver and 1 million taels ......"

The old man was happy and subconsciously said it.

But halfway through the words, he suddenly found that his eldest son was looking at him resentfully.

"Ahem..."

"The little cub said that they defeated the foreign enemy, and the foreign enemy took out 50 million taels of silver and one million and two gold to ransom his life in order to survive."

"The little cub told me that he had agreed, the money was in hand, the people were released, and now he is returning!"

"He plans to send the money back first, and then go to Quanzhou to bring soldiers and supplies, and go to the country called Ah San!"

The old man deserves to be the emperor.

Lies are true.

While telling incoherent lies, he stuffed the song into his arms, and didn't have the slightest idea of giving Zhu Fatpang a look.

Reaching out to pick up the little guy, the old man waved at Zhu Fatpang.

"That's it, when the little cub comes back and leaves in a few days, I'll go to Beiping, and the family affairs will be handed over to you, you go back first!"

Zhu Chubby left speechlessly.

Does the old man think he is stupid, this is a lie full of loopholes, if he doesn't hear it, he will have a ghost.

Zhu Chubby was very tired, he felt that he didn't look like his son at all, and he didn't look like his father.

Whatever the two of them do, they are guarding themselves, as if they are outsiders.

Is he that pedantic?

This kind of thing is good for Daming, and as long as it doesn't make too much trouble, he will turn a blind eye.

He is the prince of the Ming Dynasty, not the prince of the world.

"Alas!"

Walking out of the study, Zhu Fatpang glanced back and sighed.

Since beating the second and third children and going to the fiefdom, Zhu Fatpang suddenly found that his life had become boring.

In the past, when the second and third brothers were here, the three brothers often quarreled together.

Although he was often bullied by his two brothers, he lived happily and happily.

But since the second and third children went to the fiefdom, no one usually quarrels with him.

The daughter-in-law couldn't take care of her grandson during this time, so she became obsessed with mahjong, and played mahjong with several other daughters-in-law every day, and she couldn't see anyone at all.

Except for the morning visit, the daughter-in-law is usually busy with the affairs of the Chamber of Commerce.

The scholar of Baimao Pavilion was sent away by himself again, and now he is being raised by a daughter-in-law, and he is embarrassed to come back.

The grandson is at the old man's place again, and he doesn't have to worry about state affairs.

This caused Zhu Fatpang to read books in a daze every day in addition to running and exercising in the morning.

He wanted this kind of day very much before, thinking that it would be good to be quiet and quiet.

But after more than a month of silence, Zhu Chupang suddenly felt a little lonely, lonely and cold.

"I really envy that stinky boy, running overseas every day, being able to see foreign customs and customs, if I can go to see and open my eyes, how nice it would be!"

On the way back to the East Palace, Zhu Fatpang said depressedly as he walked.

Thinking of Zhu Zhangui, who is everywhere overseas, Zhu Chupang felt envious in his heart.

To be honest, he has never even seen the sea when he grows so big.

If he has the opportunity, he really wants to go to the beach to see and feel the grandeur of the sea and sky that his son said.

"That's right, why can't I be with him stinky boy, that stinky boy is very reckless, this war is related to the lifeblood of the country, if no one looks at this stinky boy, what if this stinky boy wants to kill him!"

Zhu Chubby stopped, and had a bold idea in his heart that he hadn't had since he was born.

That is, he is also going overseas, and he also wants to see the scenery abroad.

Now that the old man is older, it is no problem to live another five or six years.

Since the old man is in good health, it should be no problem to go out for a year and see the scenery outside.

The more he thought about Zhu Fat, the more excited he became, and finally he really went to find the old man.

It's just that half a day later, he was scolded by the old man.

In the words of the old man, the prince of a country is not good at studying government affairs, and he runs around every day to become a system.

After scolding, the old man touched his chin and thought about it again, and added.

"But I think you're right, this war is related to the lifeblood of the country, and it is related to the granary treasure of my future Ming Dynasty, no one looks at that stinky boy, I really don't feel at ease!"

After speaking, the old man slapped his thigh and decided not to go to Beiping, but to follow Zhu Zhangui overseas.

If Zhu Fatpang didn't say it, the old man really didn't have the idea of going overseas.

When Zhu Zhangui proposed the idea of fighting the Three Kingdoms, he was just thinking about how much he needed to pay and what benefits he would bring to Daming in the future after he won it.

I didn't even think about going there in person.

As a result, Zhu Fatpang mentioned it today, and the old man reacted immediately.

Why do I always want to go north?

The sea is so wide and there is so much wealth, why don't I go and see it?

Besides, I'm not young now, and I don't have a few years to live.

Do you really want to end your life in government affairs in this life?

The old man was a little unwilling.

So after Zhu Fatpang mentioned it today, he decided to become the first emperor in Chinese history to go on an expedition across the sea.

If this cross-sea expedition was a great victory and brought endless benefits to future generations.

Then he Zhu Di is in the second place among Emperor Wu, and no one dares to rank first.

Coupled with the establishment of Xinxue, Daming's future centennial plan.

A hundred years after he Zhu Di, he went down to meet the ancestor and the old Zhu, and he can say proudly.

Among the emperors of Chinese history, his merits of Zhu Di can only be compared with the first emperor.

What Han Wu, Tang Zong, Song Zu, is not qualified to compare with him at all.

The more I thought about the old man, the more excited I became.

In the end, he drove the eldest son away, and then summoned the six ministers and cabinet scholars to announce the news.

At first, everyone was still against it, but the old man said, if I die outside, the crown prince will immediately succeed to the throne, and anyone who dares to oppose it is a rebellion.

Almost all of the civil servants are princelings.

The old man was determined to leave, and he had reached this point, and everyone no longer stopped him.

However, the ministers had a request, that is, Zhu Di must bring an important minister to follow, and he must also select some soldiers and horses from the three thousand battalions and five military battalions as escorts.

The old man, who was bent on going to sea to fight, responded to everyone's requests without even thinking about it.

When choosing to accompany the important ministers, Xia Yuanji jumped up and down, and kept shouting at him.

Later, after arguing with everyone and almost breaking out into full martial arts, this old man finally convinced everyone.

The reason he finally persuaded the crowd was.

The Three Kingdoms are full of golden grain, and the emperor and His Royal Highness the Taisun are the masters of big spending.

If you don't send someone who is good at careful calculations to manage it, it is estimated that those things will be almost defeated if they are not pulled back.

He succeeded in convincing everyone with this reason, but Yang Pu on the cabinet side said that he would also go.

In his words.

When there is a war, there must be someone to give advice, and the territory that is laid down also needs to be managed.

Xia Yuanji is in charge of money and food, so he will be responsible for managing these things.

After half a day of discussion, the personnel of this trip were completely decided.

Zhu Di, who took the lead, Xia Yuanji, the head of the household department who was in charge of the management of money and grain, and Yang Pu, a cabinet scholar who was responsible for making suggestions and managing the planning of new land.

and Zhang Fu, the commander of the five military battalions, led the soldiers of the 15,000 battalions and 3,000 battalions to follow.

At the same time, 100 outstanding alternate officials were selected from the Ministry of Officials to set out with the army, and these people would be the officials who would administer the outer territories in the future.

In order for someone to voluntarily sign up, the old man thought about it and offered a heavy reward.

Officials who will serve in the three countries in Afghanistan will be rotated once every five years.

After returning to Beijing to report on their work, officials will be promoted to one level, and there are good places that need to be prioritized by officials.

And it has directly increased by 10 times in terms of profit.

When the official was in the office, the money would be sent directly to his home.

The eating, drinking, and lodging of officials outside were all borne by the imperial court.

After the news spread that afternoon.

Those scholars who only took the examination and never failed to pass the Jinshi examination became a sensation all of a sudden.

Although the place where he became an official is far away, and the culture and language are not understood, the conditions are really attractive.

After these people passed the exam, they couldn't get in.

Although there are qualifications to elect officials in the Ming Dynasty, the problem is that the Ming Dynasty does not lack people who can be officials.

If these people don't have anything to do with and have no money to bribe, they don't want to be elected to the official in this life.

Even if it is chosen, it is some remote county seats.

The imperial examination just finished last year, and if the emperor didn't release Enke, he would have to wait three years.

Three years and three years, how can they have so much time.

Even if they can afford to wait, their families can't afford to wait.

What's more, they don't dare to guarantee that they will be able to pass the next imperial examination.

Instead of waiting for three or even six years, or even longer, it is better to follow the emperor to fight overseas.

When you get there, the worst is a prefectural order, and as long as you come back after staying for 5 years, it is possible to become a prefect.

The more you think about it, the more cost-effective it becomes.

Before dark, the ministry received more than 500 self-recommendation letters.

After discussion and selection by several elders of the ministry, 100 places were decided.
