Listening to Zhu Di's introduction, generally speaking, Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to deal with the scourge of the Japanese from the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China.

However, diplomacy failed, and militarily, although in general every battle was victorious. The Marquis of Jinghai even pursued the Japanese to the vicinity of the Ryukyus, and then sacrificed them to the capital division, but the problem of the Japanese invaders was still unguardable.

Among them, there is also the reason why the remnants of Zhang Shicheng and Fang Guozhen's subordinates are still anti-Ming at sea. They colluded with the Japanese and even the natives of the South Seas. Especially in the sixth year of Hongwu, Zhang Ruhou, Lin Fu and others proclaimed themselves marshals at sea, gathered people to oppose the Ming, and the momentum was quite large.

This kind of thing still existed even in the Yongle period. So much so that the Yongle Emperor decreed that as long as they did not make trouble and returned to the shore, their sins would be forgiven.

In addition, in the early years of the Hongwu Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang's focus was on the Northern Yuan Dynasty, and since the coast was so troublesome, he issued an order to prohibit going to sea without permission, which was basically a passive defense.

After Zhu Di explained the basic situation of the Japanese Invaders, he looked at Zhang Yifan and said seriously: "I have already told you all about the Japanese Invaders, and then, what about your gift package?" ”

In this regard, he is actually a little conflicted in his heart.

You have to say that you don't believe Zhang Yifan, he can always surprise you and surprise you; But if you want to say that you believe Zhang Yifan, he is an orphan in Liujia Village, without a father, a mother, and a master, why should you believe him?

Then the question is, is there a so-called gift package, or is there not?

Zhang Yifan saw Zhu Di staring at him, knowing that he was probably a little entangled in his heart, so he laughed and said: "Fourth brother, dealing with the Japanese pirates is simple and simple, just take three steps, and you can never stop the scourge of the Japanese pirates......"

As soon as he heard what he said, Zhu Di obviously didn't believe it.

The scourge of the Japanese is not new. If it is said that the scourge of the Japanese can be eradicated, and there are more people who have the ability, why don't we see anyone who can put an end to the scourge of the Japanese bandits?

This brother-in-law, he's starting to brag again!

"What, don't you believe it?" As soon as Zhang Yifan saw him like this, he guessed his thoughts, and immediately asked with a smile.

Zhu Di looked at him as if he was confident, so he said directly: "Let's hear it!" ”

When Zhang Yifan heard this, he didn't have an appetite anymore, so he put on a serious attitude and said to him: "The first step is to train sailors and strictly investigate the places where the Japanese invaders appear, whether there is anyone colluding with the Japanese invaders on land, and whether there are islands suitable for the Japanese to hide near the open sea. Then dig out the traitors, patrol the island, and take out the pirates on the island. As for the pirates, they can be eliminated in this step. ”

Zhu Di listened and couldn't help but nodded.

Of course, he himself has considered it, and even summarized the previous situation of the imperial court's war against the Japanese invaders, it can be said that it is basically what Zhang Yifan said, and it is also the method he approves.

This is not special, it is decent, he thought of it himself!

Thinking of Zhang Yifan's words, he said that there are three steps to put an end to the scourge of the Japanese invaders, and I feel a little confident to say this. Thinking so, he looked forward to it, and immediately asked, "What about the second step?" ”

"The second step, I've actually said it before." When Zhang Yifan heard this, he was a little regretful, but he still said to Zhu Di, "It was I who preceded me in front of my father to cut off the main channel for the Japanese to come to my Ming Dynasty, that is, to garrison troops on the Ryukyu side." Of course, you can also ask the Ryukyus not to let the Japanese pass through the aisle. If they can't do it, we'll send troops over to help them do it, but we need them to provide them with food and grass! ”

Speaking of this, without waiting for Zhu Di to speak, he preemptively continued: "The Japanese invaders came to my Daming, and there was another waterway, which was to invade Liaodong and Shandong along the coastline through Goryeo. It is also possible to ask for the same as Ryukyu and Goryeo. As long as these two channels are cut off, then there will be no more Japanese robbers in our Ming Dynasty! ”

Zhu Di listened carefully and felt that what he said made sense. However, after Zhang Yifan finished speaking, he still shook his head and said: "Not to mention that my father has already said that he does not agree to garrison troops in the Ryukyus, it is only on the Goryeo side, which is more difficult." Although Goryeo has surrendered to my Ming Dynasty, there is still collusion with the former Yuan, and if one is not good, they can oppose the Ming Dynasty, not to mention, and ask them to put an end to the Japanese Invaders. ”

When Zhang Yifan heard this, he immediately smiled and said: "Goryeo sticks, if you don't fight, you won't be honest." When our Ming Dynasty makes a move against the Tartars of Liaodong and the troops come to Goryeo, if they don't change, then destroy them! ”

In fact, he actually has an understanding, and Goryeo has not had a few years left. There was no self-knowledge, just sending tens of thousands of troops to challenge the Ming army, but halfway through, the army rebelled, and Goryeo perished. Subsequently, the name of North Korea was given by Zhu Yuanzhang.

However, it was too sensational to say it now, so he chose not to say it.

Zhu Di's side is sixteen years old. Compared to his brother, he was more daring and heroic.

In the original history, after Zhu Yuanzhang became a vassal of these sons, he issued an order to them to send troops to fight against the former Yuan. As a result, Zhu Di, a vassal king, really had to lead his troops to the battle, and he won the battle. Other vassal kings, such as the King of Jin, went to the border and went around and then shrank there and did not move.

At this time, he listened to Zhang Yifan's arrogant words, and said that when Goryeo destroyed them if he was not satisfied with the Ming Dynasty, he was very feeling. However, as soon as he remembered what his father did, there was a high probability that he would not, and he was suddenly a little depressed.

So, he asked Zhang Yifan: "Then what about the third step?" Is there a third step? ”

Just by doing these two steps, it should be able to put an end to the scourge of the Ming Dynasty, and there is a third step?

He was thinking so, but Zhang Yifan said without thinking: "The third step is the ultimate move, directly destroying the Japanese state, won't it fundamentally solve the scourge of the Japanese invaders?" ”

"......" Zhu Di didn't expect that this third step would be to destroy the Japanese Kingdom, and he suddenly opened his mouth in surprise.

Then, he came back to his senses, and immediately shook his head and said: "You have never led soldiers to fight, and you don't know how difficult it is to major military affairs. ”

Speaking of this, Zhu Di saw that Zhang Yifan seemed to be a little disdainful, so he didn't wait for Zhang Yifan to speak, and asked directly: "Then let me ask you, when Qianyuan was strong, was it powerful?" There is no one in the world who is not convinced, including the Western Regions, and further afield, all of which were defeated by Qianyuan. But that's it, the two expeditions of the former Yuan Dynasty were wiped out, you say, is it easy to destroy the Japanese Kingdom? Can it be extinguished? ”

In fact, this is also Zhu Yuanzhang's idea.

However, when Zhang Yifan heard this, he sneered and said disdainfully: "What Qianyuan can't do, Daming can't do?" Qianyuan was also driven to the depths of the grassland by our Ming Dynasty, who would have thought before? ”

When Zhu Di heard this, he couldn't help but be stunned.

Zhang Yifan continued to say to him: "The most fundamental way to destroy the scourge of the Japanese is to destroy him. Moreover, it is not that difficult to exterminate the Japanese invaders. The most important thing is to train enough sailors, so that the Japanese are all island countries, we can choose a random place to land, the Japanese defense is invincible, why is it difficult to destroy them! ”

"And, if you think about it, just how strong can that pirate be, even if it is their regular army? Can you beat my Ming army? As long as they land on the island, they can spy on the reality of the Japanese kingdom in the early stage, will it be easy to destroy them? ”

Zhu Di was dumbfounded when he heard it, isn't it very powerful in the Wa Kingdom? How did it get into the mouth of this brother-in-law, it seems that the widow is just a piece of? However, listening to his words, it seems to make sense! This...... What went wrong?

For a while, he couldn't figure out which place, or Zhang Yifan said it wrong, or everyone was mistaken?

"Let me think, let me think!" Zhu Di had to speak, and asked him to take care of it again.

In this regard, Zhang Yifan naturally didn't care, so he asked Zhu Di to think about it himself.

Zhu Wu, who came over with a pot of boiling water from Daddy Niu's house next door, saw Zhang Yifan walking into the yard to stretch his waist, so he went over and said to him: "Liu Wu is outside, it seems that he is looking for you to have something." ”

Hearing this, Zhang Yifan turned his head to look at Zhu Di, and saw that he was still thinking there, so he went to the door first, and sure enough, he saw Liu Wu and a few people shrunk aside.

"Fifth Uncle Liu, are you looking for me for something?" Zhang Yifan took the initiative to walk over and asked.

When Liu Wu saw it, he hurriedly greeted him with a smile, and then said to him: "When will this cement workshop in our village community start?" ”

After finishing speaking, he hurriedly added: "There are already many people who have come to ask, and they all want to buy cement!" ”

Zhu Yuanzhang treated cement as an ordinary treasure and rewarded it to the noble ministers, which caused the impression of the cement to be tall.

Zhang Yifan listened, thought for a while and said: "You can go and start work now, but don't sell it yet, this price needs to be determined, maybe you need to ask for a decree!" ”

After he said that Daming treasure banknotes can't print money as much as he wants, Zhu Yuanzhang is estimated to have a headache about money. In this way, maybe Zhu Yuanzhang will change the strategy of cement. The price of cement in Liujia Village can't be less than the official price set by Zhu Yuanzhang, which will impact the official price. This kind of cheapness, can't ask for it!

Now in Liujia Village, Zhang Yifan must have the final say. As soon as he said this, no matter what Liu Wu thought, he would not question it.

After sending Liu Wu away, Zhang Yifan turned around, only to find that he didn't know when, Zhu Di was already standing behind him. So, he asked, "How?" ”

Zhu Di did not answer directly, but said to him with approval: "Father will be very happy to hear that the price of your cement is waiting for him!" ”

"Uh......"

Zhu Di didn't say much about this, just mentioned it, and then said to Zhang Yifan seriously: "I've thought about it, it's not impossible to destroy the Japanese country, the key is the water master, and God?" ”

Without waiting for Zhang Yifan to speak, he himself said in detail: "First, whether the sailor can win the sailor of the Wa Kingdom is a question. Even if we can defeat the invaders with us, if we go on an expedition against the Japanese country, there will definitely be more sailors in the Japanese country, and they will be more elite. And our labor expedition, not to mention the logistics of grain and grass materials, but just the naval battle of the sailors, whether we can win is a very critical issue! ”

"Second, even if we build a strong enough sailor, if we encounter God's displeasure after going to sea, it is very likely that the whole army will be wiped out directly under the hurricane, which is also a burden that the Ming Dynasty cannot bear!"

Speaking of this, he said with a serious expression: "Either of these two issues, the father emperor should not consider the matter of sending troops to the Japanese country!" ”
