"Your Majesty, the ministers also ask for war." At this time, another person stood up, it was Zhu Wenzheng.

Zhu Wenzheng has outstanding military achievements, but he has a bit of self-sustaining military achievements.

After Zhu Yuanzhang defeated Chen Youliang, he relied on the merits of the defense of Hongdu, and immediately wanted to be the marquis and worship the prime minister.

Of course, it's no wonder that he has achieved the kind of credit for the defense of Hongdu, and it is easy for anyone to float.

As a result, Zhu Yuanzhang didn't give it to him, he was only King Wu at that time, and he gave his generals the title of marquis? The name is not right.

He thought so in his heart at the time, if you want to be a marquis and a king, at least wait until we become emperors. You are still our own nephew, will we treat you badly after we achieve great things?

Zhu Wen is the son of Zhu Yuanzhang's second brother, and he is his own nephew, not some righteous nephew.

As a result, Zhu Wenzheng couldn't wait at that time, was dissatisfied, and wanted to take refuge in Zhang Shicheng, but was arrested by Zhu Yuanzhang.

Zhu Yuanzhang remembered his outstanding military exploits, coupled with cherishing talents, talents like Zhu Wenzheng are a sharp war knife, invincible, even a bit like an 'artifact', it is indeed a pity to destroy it.

They didn't kill him, but put him under house arrest.

Later, Emperor Zhu came into contact with Qin Yu, and after he had the idea of expanding his territory, he didn't want to kill him even more.

The current Ming Dynasty, not only is it not the time to liquidate the generals, but it needs to use a large number of outstanding military talents.

Let them expand their territory for the Ming Dynasty and establish a thousand years of hegemony.

So, Zhu Yuanzhang released Zhu Wenzheng again.

After several years of tempering, Zhu Wenzheng is no longer the teenager he used to be, and has become a lot more mature.

In Zhu Yuanzhang's view, Zhu Wenzheng's defense of Hongdu was a great achievement, and the rebellion was a great achievement.

The merits and demerits were compensated, and he was not given any title, not even an earl.

However, he was still allowed to stay in the court and participate in some military decisions.

Zhu Wenzheng defected to Zhu Yuanzhang when he was seventeen years old, and he was only twenty-four years old when he defended Hongdu.

In addition to the defense of Hongdu, the previous exploits are also numerous, and the outstanding talents are eye-catching. If it weren't for the trust in his ability, Zhu Yuanzhang would never have placed him in such an important position.

It's just that the defense of Hongdu was too brilliant that it covered up his previous exploits.

Zhu Wenzheng was also invincible in the past, and he was invincible. Before the age of twenty, he commanded Li Wenzhong, Feng Sheng, Tang and those elder famous generals.

It can be said that if it weren't for the personality problem, Zhu Wenzheng's achievements would have surpassed Huo Quzhi's.

The key is that when he made contributions, he was also very young.

"Your Majesty, in the defense of Hongdu that year, the minister only used 40,000 troops to block the attack of Chen Youliang's 600,000 army, and held the Hongdu City for 85 days." ZHU Wenzhengdao,

"The minister's ability to lead the army is obvious to all, if the emperor can take the minister as a general and go on an expedition to the Japanese country, he will be able to defeat the Japanese country, and it will be foolproof."

Zhu Wenzheng is now eager to establish military merits and be ashamed of his previous rebellion.

If you can't make meritorious contributions, let your merits outweigh your faults, and you will definitely do nothing in the future.

"Yo, show off your military exploits, right?" Feng Sheng sneered, "Back then, the emperor sent a three-way army to attack Wang Baobao, Xu Da, and Li Wenzhong, but none of them won, but I, Feng Sheng, won a lot. ”

As the founding general of the Ming Dynasty, who hasn't had a proud record?

Who isn't a famous player yet?

It stands to reason that Feng Sheng's military exploits are completely incomparable to the defense of Hongdu, and he has also accepted Zhu Wenzheng's command before, but he just grasped the stain that Zhu Wenzheng had rebelled against King Wu.

"Your Majesty, why do you need 50,000 elites to conquer the Wa Kingdom?" Lan Yu stood up and said, "The last general only needs 30,000 people. ”

"Dispatch 50,000 troops to work the people and lose money, the last general will only lead 30,000 troops, the consumption is smaller, and the victory can be guaranteed, if you don't win, please Your Majesty behead me."

"Your Majesty, the last general only needs 10,000 troops." Zhu Wenzheng said, eager for this opportunity to turn the tables.

"Zhu Wenzheng, you are too trusted, you only need 10,000 troops to cross the sea to attack the Japanese Kingdom?" Li Wenzhong said coldly, "I think you are looking for death, it doesn't matter if you are looking for death yourself, don't fall into my Ming national prestige." ”

"Your Majesty, the minister doesn't need 10,000, the minister only needs 5,000 troops." Feng Sheng said suddenly.

"Your Majesty, the last general only needs to lead five hundred personal guards." Lan Yu said.

"You don't take the Wa Kingdom too seriously, do you?" When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he said, "Only bring 5,000, only 500 guards to expedition to the Japanese country?" Isn't that a joke. ”

"Your Majesty, the ministers can recruit troops on the road while rushing to Goryeo, but they don't need to transfer troops from the military department and don't cause trouble to the imperial court." Lan Yu said.

"If I can recruit soldiers on the road, I can bring no soldiers." Zhu Wenzheng said.

"Your Majesty, is it too much to bully them with the Shenji Battalion to attack the Wa Kingdom? It seems a bit of a victory. Li Wenzhong said, "Therefore, the minister can not even bring the Shenji Battalion." ”

"The minister can not even use the money and food of the imperial court, pay for it himself, and go bankrupt to attack the Japanese country!" Feng Shengdao.

"Okay......" Tobe Shangshu's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he said subconsciously.

He was not happy with Zhu Yuanzhang to fight, because he was afraid of wasting money from the treasury.

Now Feng Sheng said that he didn't need the money from the treasury, of course he agreed to 100,000 yuan.

……

In order to compete for the position of general of the Eastern Expedition, the generals have reached the point where they will do everything.

Zhu Yuanzhang saw it in his eyes and sighed in his heart.

Now in front of this group of generals, the Wa Kingdom is a fragrant bait that everyone is vying for.

A stepping stone to carry them into the martial temple.

The temptation of the Eastern Expedition was so great for them, and the generals were so fierce that they could be used to 'kill three soldiers'.

However, he still can't make up his mind about who the Eastern Crusade General will give to.

Whichever one of these four people sends in the past can win, but it doesn't seem to be able to completely satisfy him.

There is no mistake

When you are an emperor, you have to weigh the pros and cons when you point to the general.

"Your Majesty, if you have to go on an expedition to the Wa Kingdom. The minister thought that Cao Guogong, Song Guogong, Zhu Wenzheng, and Lan Yu were not suitable. At this moment, Liu Bowen stepped forward and said, ignoring the murderous eyes cast by the four of them.

Liu Bowen's biggest characteristic is not that he can tell fortunes and give advice, but that he is upright and not afraid of the powerful.

Otherwise, he would not be the supervisor of the imperial history and the supervision of hundreds of officials.

"Why can't any of them?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked coldly.

"If you want to send someone to expedition to the Wa Kingdom, the minister thinks that you still need Tang He to go in person." Now the courtiers basically dare not blatantly oppose the emperor's conquest, and only make suggestions on the conquest.

"Tang He used to be the commander of the water army in the Battle of Poyang Lake, and he had been to Yingzhou by ocean before and caught whales, he was very familiar with the sea conditions, and only by sending him there could he ensure that nothing went wrong."

"Tang He is opening the port now, it's too late." Li Wenzhong said coldly, "Liu Bowen, do you want Your Majesty to delay the fighter?" ”
