Let Zhou Hai sit down, Zhu Sang said again. "General Zhou has also heard a lot of news, and this king doesn't plan to say more, and in the future, this king's command will no longer listen to the orders of Emperor Daming."

"What? Your Highness, you? Zhou Hai was so frightened that he almost dropped the cup.

Nodding with a light smile, Zhu Sang continued. "This king just wants to ask General Zhou, if you are willing to follow this king to ride the waves, if you don't want General Zhou, you will return to Daming with your subordinates!"

"Your Highness, me!" Zhou Shenjiang's heart was entangled.

He knew that the emperor was old, and the princes did not obey the grandson! So Zhu Sang plans to set up his own door, and he can understand it!

Zhu Sang was not in a hurry, so he tasted tea and waited.

Zhou Hai was also very embarrassed, he wanted to go back after all, his family was still in Daming, but after several battles with pirates and pirates, he also liked the life of fighting on the sea!

After thinking for a while, Zhou Hai asked solemnly. "The last general, may I ask the Heavenly King, will he raid the coast in the future, and will he continue to exterminate the pirates and pirates?"

Without thinking too much, Zhu Sang laughed. "This king will not plunder the coastal people, but will make the people voluntarily go to the sea to open up the wasteland, but the officials and businessmen are rich, after all, this king also needs to raise troops, but he will also try not to hurt his life."

Zhou Hai nodded. "It is already benevolent and righteous for the king not to hurt the people!"

Similarly, he has no good impression of the wealthy officials and businessmen, and under Lao Zhu, these young generals have no chance of getting rich.

Nodding, Zhu Sang continued. "This king not only exterminates the pirates and pirates, but also collects their land, and in the future, the East and South Seas and even the four seas will belong to this king, and belong to the land of our Han people."

Hearing Zhu Sang's oath, Zhou Hai only felt that his mind was hot, and he couldn't help but get up and kneel on the ground.

"The last general is willing to be the sword of the king of heaven, and swear to destroy the pirates and pirates of the seas."

Zhou Hai had never knelt down to him, and when he knelt down, Zhu Sang knew that he had already made a choice.

"Good! General Zhou will hurry up, no~ In the future, General Zhou will be appointed as the deputy chief of the water division. The speaker, Zhu Sang, helped Zhou Hai up.

"Thank you!"

After thanking him, Zhou Hai couldn't help but suggest. "The sailors of the Tianwang Jiangkou may not all be willing to return to the Ming Dynasty, but if they can bring their relatives to Dongfan Island, many soldiers must not want to leave His Highness."

In fact, Zhou Hai just wanted to remind the Heavenly King to pick up the families of these generals as soon as possible, otherwise they would be controlled by others in the future.

"That's right! What Mr. Zhou said is extremely true! The families of 70,000 soldiers and nearly 10,000 craftsmen should be taken over. ”

Then Zhu Sang personally wrote the letter of appointment and asked Niu Dang and Zhou Hai to investigate the list of sailors who did not want to stay.

He planned to use these sailors to exchange people with Lao Zhu, and of course he also needed to give up a large amount of gold and silver.

…

Gong Shouren and Sun Dama, more than 4,000 of them, had not yet returned to Beijing, and Zhu Sang's handwritten letter had already been sent to Lao Zhu's roots.

It was sent by Prince Zhusang, and Jiang Zhen didn't dare to check it, so he had to say. "Your Majesty, although it was sent by the Xiaoliuqiu ship, the minister did not conduct a private investigation."

The anxious old Zhu was not in the mood to let them check slowly, so he waved his hand and said. "This rebel doesn't have the guts!"

"It's the emperor." Seeing that Lao Zhu spoke, Jiang Zhen stopped persuading.

Zhu Sang is very demanding, so his attitude is also very good, and Lao Zhu nodded secretly when he saw it.

After reading it, Lao Zhu asked Jiang Xuan. "Jiang Xuan, you can estimate how much gold and silver this Zhu Sangbu can seize in the East China Sea?"

After thinking about it, Jiang Xuan hurriedly reported. "According to rumors, two million taels of gold and silver were seized in the lower part of His Royal Highness Zhu Sang of the Three Kingdoms of Xiaoliuqiu, and the pirates in the north did not capture much, while the pirates in the south harvested hundreds of thousands of taels of gold and silver."

"The pirates of Dongfan Island have been rumored for at least a few decades, numbering tens of thousands, and the ministers estimate that there are at least four million gold and silver."

Lao Zhu nodded, not much different from what he thought, the richest pirates among the pirates were still pirates on the other side of the South China Sea, and he also knew that most of the gold and silver of the pirates had also flowed back to the Wa country.

Waving his hand to let Jiang Xuan retreat, Lao Zhu thought deeply.

"In this way, this rebel has at least six or seven million taels, and he wants to exchange only three million taels and nearly ten thousand sailors for five or six hundred thousand people! We wouldn't agree! ”

"If you don't agree, this damn rebel will definitely send troops to rob people after the spring!" Zhu Sang didn't say it explicitly, but Lao Zhu also saw his threat.

"But this rebel is right! If the Ming Dynasty abandons Dongfan and ignores it, not only will the pirates become bigger, but also the Han people will lose their homeland! ”

"But in this way, the foundation of this rebel son is stable! I'm afraid in the future! ”

Lao Zhu doesn't mind his son occupying Dongfan, but he is worried that the Zhu family will kill each other in the future! In the end, it was cheaper for outsiders!

"Da Ming wants to form a deep sea division, and it will take at least two or three years to deal with this rebel army!"

After thinking for a long time, Lao Zhu frowned and said. "Forget it, this Dongfan Island must be Han Chinese! Three million is too little, four million must be made! ”

"I have to let him promise that he will exterminate the northern pirates in the next two years and prevent them from disturbing the coast, and in three years he will also send troops to the South China Sea! This will make it difficult for him to take care of himself, and it will be difficult for pirates to get in, and the result will inevitably be a lose-lose situation! Wait until the water division is formed, and then it will be difficult for this rebel to endanger Daming! ”

Fortunately, Zhu Sang is Lao Zhu's own son, and he did not occupy the place of Daming, or he was worried that Zhu Sang would lose face by invading the coast, otherwise Lao Zhu would not easily agree.

Wenchen would definitely not agree, but Lao Zhu didn't pay attention to their attitude.

After Gong Shouren arrived at Zhenjiang Wharf, he received a message from Zhu Sang.

After reading the letter, he knew his new goal.

……

Now that King Yan and others have just been sent back, the main reason is that Zhu Sang also believes in Lao Zhu's character.

Zhu Sang hadn't been to see Zhu Di for these days, which made King Yan happy and annoyed!

Although it was delicious and entertained, the experience of these days still made King Yan lose a few pounds.

Even the great monk couldn't figure out why this Zhu Sang was able to subdue so many Ming soldiers!

As soon as King Yan returned, Lao Zhu ordered Zhu Di to enter the palace, and he was also very curious.

"The son is guilty!" Zhu Di knelt down and said.

He estimated that the old man was also deceived by Zhu Sang, and Zhu Sang, who went to sea, must have planned to set up his own door and refused to obey the old man's orders.

For this, in fact, Zhu Di also admires it!

Seeing Zhu Di's blank eyes, Lao Zhu became angry. "Hmph, useless thing! We gave you 50,000 people, and you brought back a dozen! ”

"If it weren't for that rebel son who thought that you were the fourth brother, you would have fallen to the ground a long time ago!"

"I can't even look down on my subordinates, so how can we rest assured that you will guard the north!"

Zhu Di didn't refute either, and let Lao Zhu scold him.

After scolding for a while, Lao Zhu felt that he was much more comfortable.

"Why is there nothing to say? Do you admit that you are not even as good as Zhu Sang? After a pause, Lao Zhu scolded again.

Zhu Di nodded with a bitter face, then looked up and said. "Father, you are right, my fourth brother is really not as good as Zhu Sang's imperial brother!"

"He is only sixteen years old, and he has commanded more than 100,000 people, not only defeated Lan Yu and other generals in a row, but also easily exterminated more than 30,000 thieves in the East China Sea!"

"Hmph, get up and sit down!" Seeing Zhu Di's unconvinced appearance, Lao Zhu's anger also disappeared by half.

The defeat is not terrible, he just doesn't want to see Zhu Di look useless.

In fact, Zhu Di also deliberately pretended to make the old man no longer pay attention to him, so that he could return to the domain as soon as possible.
