Chapter 156: The Homecoming

Walking out of the Sifang Pavilion, Li Zhen was like in a dream.

From the moment he decided to unite with Zhu Gaosui, Li Zhen was ready to die, because as the prince of the king, he knew very well that North Korea would not and would not dare to provoke the Ming Dynasty.

However, this is nothing in Li Zhen's opinion, falling from the peak to the trough, and there is no chance to turn over in the future, which is better for him to die.

But now, not only is he fine, he has been "forgiven" by Zhu Zhanyan, but also supported by Zhu Zhanyan.

For Li Zhen, the peak and loop are no longer enough to describe his current mood.

But......

A diligent and studious prince who has been excellent in character and learning since he was a child, and is also a North Korean prince, naturally will not be far behind.

After a brief moment of excitement and disbelief, he quickly figured out Zhu Zhanyan's intentions.

is nothing more than wanting to fund him, confront his younger brother, or his father, and finally let Daming reap the benefits of the fisherman.

However, Li Qi still couldn't think clearly, because in his opinion, Zhu Zhanyan's chances of wanting to compete for the throne were very slim, unless he waited until his grandfather, Emperor Yongle, a hundred years later, he also had a kind of difficulty in raising troops.

But if that's the case, it's a little premature for Zhu Zhanyan to start paving the way for North Korea.

Thinking of this, Li Zhen suddenly shook his head.

No matter what Zhu Zhanyan is trying to do, this is the only chance for him, if he doesn't seize it this time, then he will return to the trough in the future, and he will never be able to turn over because of this seizure of supplies from the Ming army.

Behind Li Zhen, Zhu Zhanyan walked out of the Sifang Pavilion and looked at Li Zhen's back with deep meaning.

In fact, he was not prepared to attack North Korea at the beginning, because it was too difficult.

North Korea has always been an obedient vassal state in the impression of the Ming Dynasty, and this situation has continued.

The famous Chenghua Plough Court has the help of North Korea.

In the Ming Dynasty, which governs the country with benevolence and filial piety, it is too difficult to make a move against such a subordinate country, whether the old man will agree to put it aside for the time being, those civil officials will definitely obstruct it.

The reasons are all the same, what kind of backsliding attack on the subordinate parliament will make Daming lose face, and no one will dare to rely on Daming or anything like that in the future.

If Zhu Zhanqi has been in Yingtian, then he can change it slowly, but now that the Han Dynasty has gone to Yunnan to become a vassal, it will be more difficult to realize this matter.

It's just that thinking that in the future, the stick sent more than 200,000 yuan to help the Japanese slaves attack the Central Plains, Zhu Zhanyan was a little angry.

Since you can't plot, let's use a little trick and let them mess up on their own.

It's just that what Zhu Zhanyan doesn't know is that there have been some changes within Daming now.

-----------------

Ying Tianfu, Wumanyi.

The Wuman Post is actually the Sifang Pavilion of North Korea, a place used to receive envoys from other countries, but the current Wuman Post is empty, because the last group of envoys who came with Zheng He's fleet had left Daming in November last year.

That's actually not true, because the current Wumanyi is already inhabited, but it's just ......

Not an envoy.

Zhu Di looked at the gate of the Wuman Station, then looked at the carriage in the courtyard, and stepped into the Wuman Station.

In one of the best rooms of Wumanyi, two men and one woman sat on the ground around a large box, and if you walked in and looked closely, you could find that these three people were already asleep.

However, when the footsteps sounded, the three men struggled to their feet and looked at the door with a wary expression.

However, it didn't take long for the three of them to quickly put the tip of the knife into the sheath and kneel on the ground.

"The grass people meet Your Majesty......"

Zhu Di looked at the three people in ragged clothes in front of him, and an emotional look appeared on his face.

This person is very polarized, some people can sell everyone, including their relatives, for a little profit, while some people can abide by their hearts and never give up the bottom line they stick to no matter what the situation is.

The three people in front of him are the latter.

"Let's all get out." I don't know how long it took to be silent, Zhu Di finally spoke, and drove out the accompanying Jinyi guards, leaving only Ji Gang alone.

"Let's talk about it." Zhu Di sat on the chair brought by Ji Gang and looked at the three people in front of him.

The three people kneeling on the ground looked at each other for a long time, but none of them spoke.

I don't know how long it took, the three of them didn't speak, and Zhu Di was not in a hurry, just watched quietly.

In the end, it was the three of them who took the lead.

didn't speak, but Qian Yong took off his saber and didn't unsheath it, just put it on the ground and pushed it in the direction of Zhu Di.

The same is true for the other two.

The meaning is very simple, you can't say, if you are not satisfied, then kill us, and we will not resist.

"Alas......" Zhu Di sighed softly.

Seeing this situation, Zhu Di was a little angry and a little relieved.

The angry thing is that these people dare to resist the decree in person, and Zhu Di has not encountered this situation for an unknown amount of time.

It is gratifying that these people are his grandsons, and Zhu Di is naturally very pleased to be so loyal to his grandson.

In fact, if these three people don't come back, Zhu Di will almost forget about them, because they haven't entered Zhu Di's field of vision for too long.

The last time it was mentioned was when Zheng He came back.

These three people were the nails that Zhu Zhan Yan buried in the city in the seventh year of Yongle, at first there were 200 people, and later for some reason, four people were brushed off before going to sea, and in the end only 196 people were left to go to sea with Zheng He.

And now, only the three of them are left.

"Tell me what you can say......"

Ji Gang didn't expect it, and Qian Yong didn't expect that in the end, it was Zhu Di who made concessions.

Taking a deep breath, Qian Yong slowly spoke.

"Yongle Seven Years ......"

-----------------

Zhu Zhanyan didn't know what was going on in Beijing, but at this time he had returned to Hizen on Shikoku Island and began to rectify military discipline.

To be honest, he didn't care how many Wako died, but he cared about the soldiers who followed him on the expedition.

He couldn't let these soldiers be ruined.

As for the North Korean side......

Although Zhu Zhanyan buried the nail of Li Zhen, he didn't think that he would be able to make a profit soon, and he didn't even think that there would be a profit.

In his opinion, Li Chun's strength is weak, and even with his own help, he may not be able to achieve great things.

Although Zhu Zhanyan wants Maoshan iron ore very much, it is a little difficult for him now, and now he already has a source of iron ore, but he has not yet started mining.

Stony Brook Iron Mine, the largest iron ore in Southeast Asia, is located in the former Dayue Country of Chen Jikuan, and now in the territory of Jiaozhi.

Although compared with the Maoshan Iron Mine, which claims to have 5 billion tons of reserves, the Shixi Iron Mine is only one-tenth of its reserves, Zhu Zhanyan is already very satisfied, and it will be enough for him in the short term.

Now, he is most concerned about Iwami Ginzan.
