Chapter 18 The destruction of pirates is blocked, and the Ming Dynasty will meet

After Lao Zhu received the news, the news from Hangzhou also began to spread.

When Fang Xiaoru came to the East Palace, Zhu Yunwen also received a detailed message from Jinyiwei.

"Taisun should know, right?" Seeing the anger on Taisun's face, Fang Xiaoru guessed.

Zhu Yunwen nodded lightly! "This damn Zhusang! Not only did he escape, but he also controlled the Three Kingdoms of Xiaoliuqiu! ”

"Plus the 100,000 islanders of Xiaoliuqiu, this damn has already controlled more than 100,000 soldiers and civilians!"

Seriously, Zhu Yunwen is also jealous!

In fact, Fang Xiaoru was also shocked! It's only been a long time since three small countries were occupied by him!

"Taisun relax, although Xiaoliuqiu is nearly two thousand miles away from the Ming Dynasty, but Zhongshan is also a subject country of the Ming Dynasty, and my Ming Dynasty must send troops to quell the chaos, otherwise the vassal countries will also be panicked!"

Zhu Yunwen sneered and nodded! "It's just that the imperial grandfather may not make a big move!"

Fang Xiaoru said again. "Even if the emperor misses the old love, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty will not sit idly by, and among them, the military generals such as Yanwang Lanyu and Guo Ying hate Zhu Sang even more!"

"That's right! The emperor's grandfather has already ordered King Yan to return, and then Fang Shi can also propose to the ministers. After figuring it out, Zhu Yunwen also smiled.

Led by the island's fishermen, Niu Dang easily found the pirate's hiding place.

"General Zhou Hai, there are more than 1,000 pirates on the island, and there are more than 1,000 old and weak women and children, I don't know if General Zhou needs support." Niu Dang smiled faintly.

"But why do more than a thousand pirates need support, my department is enough." Although Zhou Hai didn't want to be a pioneer, he couldn't refuse at this time.

"Good! Then General Zhou will be in charge of this place, and the rest of the ships will be left behind, and then divided into two ways to exterminate the pirates. Niu Dang was not in the mood to wait slowly.

With the strength of the Ming army, hundreds of sailors were enough to deal with a thousand messy pirates.

"Don't worry!" Seeing that he also left some ships for himself, General Zhou was also much more relieved!

Originally, I thought that King Zhusang was planning to use these thousands of pirates to wipe them out!

On the shore, the three thousand sailors still looked reluctant.

"Brethren, we can only serve the King of Heaven, and this pirate is our chance to settle down."

"Destroy this group of pirates, and I will only live until we wait." General Zhou also stopped talking nonsense.

However, when he reminded him, the newly joined sailors also immediately raised their fighting spirit.

The strongest pirates in the Southern Islands had already discovered the Ming army, but the size of the Ming army's sailors frightened the pirates into retreating to the walled city, and they didn't even want a boat for them to eat.

Before coming to the walled city on the mountainside, Zhou Hai felt embarrassed!

Although it is not a one-man pass, it is not open, but the mountain road is also very dangerous, and the mountain road in front of the walled city can only pass through a maximum of ten people at a time!

"This! How to attack this! ”

"General, this Niu General is just going to embarrass us!"

General Zhou shook his head and thought for a while before he said! "First besiege and persuade them to surrender, and then make a stone thrower, there is still a lot of gunpowder on the ship to withstand them."

"Yes, hit them with gunpowder!" Hearing General Zhou's arrangement, the commanders were relieved!

If you really want to attack, it is estimated that there will not be many of them of 3,000 people in the end!

Similarly, the pirates they met also hid in the caves, and they could only slowly surround and kill if they could not attack.

However, the rhetoric of the Niu Dang general army to exterminate the pirates in a few days has also become empty words.

Niu Dang couldn't exterminate the pirates in a short time, so he had to send people back to Nago City to spread the news.

As soon as he received Niu Dang's letter, Zhu Sang was not angry, but laughed.

"These pirates can survive for decades, and they really have some means!"

"It's a pity that there are no artillery! Looks like we're going to have to find someone to start researching! You have to make steel first! ”

He only knew a thing or two about steel guns and guns, but under his guidance, as long as the craftsmen kept experimenting, the craftsmen would come up with them one day.

"By the way, there is also cement to be developed!"

Then Zhu Sang summoned the craftsmen to elect the leader, but first he had to build a research base outside the city, he didn't dare to put it in the city, in case something happened, half the city would be gone.

……

After receiving the order, Zhu Di Lanyu hurried back to Beijing non-stop.

And Lao Zhu waited for them to return before he began to hold a court meeting.

At the beginning of the imperial meeting, Chadu, the king of Zhongshan, went to the palace to meet the Ming Emperor.

After three prostrations, Chadu cried out. "Little Wang Chadu, please ask the Ming Emperor to send troops to save Zhongshan Kingdom."

These few clear words are still taught to him, and the King of Zhongshan will only say a few words for the time being.

Lao Zhu nodded lightly and said. "King Zhongshan, please rest assured, Da Ming will definitely not sit idly by! Take the King of the Mountains to recuperate first. ”

"Xiao Wang bows to Emperor Daming." Chadu immediately thanked him excitedly.

When Chadu was helped away, all the civil and military officers did not rush to speak, and Lao Zhu was also a little embarrassed!

To be honest, he also wanted to kill Zhu Sang, but Xiaoliuqiu was too far away, and the risk at sea was not small! An expedition of at least 30,000 sailors plus 20,000 or 30,000 soldiers is very expensive!

If it is to fight pirates, pirates, and even remnants of the Yuan forces, of course Lao Zhu doesn't mind!

But now it's really his own son! Knowing that Zhu Sang has completely occupied Xiaoliuqiu, to be honest, Lao Zhu is quite satisfied!

If Zhu Sang can settle down and not make trouble, Lao Zhu doesn't mind giving him the title of King of the Ryukyus.

Not only the small Ryukyu, but the big Ryukyu is no problem for him, anyway, they are all desert island pirates and aborigines.

Lan Yu was an anxious sub, and he immediately couldn't help it.

"Your Majesty, the rebels are growing stronger and stronger, if they are not exterminated, I am afraid that the Ming Dynasty will face tens of thousands of pirates in the future!"

Lao Zhu frowned and said. "Sapphire! The rebels are only 10,000 sailors and are controlled by pirates and pirates, and the 100,000 islanders will not really surrender, and it is estimated that it will be difficult for Zhu Sang to threaten our Daming Sea Frontier in the future. ”

"You can even make it fight with pirates and pirates, and then my Great Ming Sailor can clean up the mess." The more Lao Zhu spoke, the louder he became.

This! Fang Xiaoru and the others didn't expect Lao Zhu to say this!

"Huh! Father is really soft-hearted! King Yan smiled silently! He had already decided to rebel, and he didn't dare to anger Lao Zhu at this time.

If they can't leave Jingshi, then their father and son will definitely die!

"Yes!" Lan Yu didn't know what to say! Lao Zhu's plan is good, but he is unwilling!

can't just forget it, Qi Tai can't help it.

"The emperor Zhongshan is a vassal of the Ming Dynasty, if he does not send troops, how can the Ming Dynasty deter the surrounding countries, and even the vassal countries mistakenly think that it is my Ming who wants to invade other countries."

"The minister asked the emperor to send troops to quell the rebellion." Fang Xiaoru also immediately shouted.

Later, all the civil and military forces also begged one after another, and Lan Yu shouted that he would lead 100,000 horses to exterminate Zhu Sang and the pirates in the East China Sea.

Looking at the very united civil and military officials, Lao Zhu felt cold, and what he was most worried about was that the minister forced the palace to seize power.

But they had a point, and he had no excuse to punish them.

Seeing Lao Zhu's embarrassment, Zhu Di immediately proposed.

"Father, the son is willing to lead the troops to the sea, only 30,000 sailors are needed, and there is no need to send soldiers."

glanced at Zhu Di coldly, and then Lao Zhu spoke. "Okay, let King Yan lead the army! The Governor's Mansion of the Military Department prepared 30,000 sailors and the food and grass materials needed for the expedition within a month, and then King Yan could only choose the right time to send troops after he was familiar with the training! ”

"Son's Honor!"

"Okay, retreat!" With that, Lao Zhu got up and left.

Seeing that Lao Zhu was going to be angry, Lan Yu could only keep his mouth shut, he originally wanted to go to sea with Zhu Di, and then tie Zhu Sang back in person.
