When Chen Mao and Zheng Heng came to Iwami Silver Mountain, their first reaction was to sigh while smashing their mouths.

Zhu Zhanyi's actions on the side of the Japanese kingdom have already spread in the sky, but people's reactions are relatively flat.

One is because hearing and seeing are different, and the impact of hearing and seeing is not a little bit worse, after all, are there any photos and videos in this era.

What are you going to ......

People are more or less accustomed to the name of Zhu Zhanyan, although the number of enemies killed in the Wa Kingdom is large, but the people who have already brought in first are a little unconcerned.

What? Several hundred thousand? Isn't this normal? Wasn't it all wiped out in the steppes at the beginning?

What? You say that's only a hundred thousand? Nonsense! That's because the enemy is only a few hundred thousand!

Do you dare to move at that time? What will happen to him if he dares to move? Can the number of kills in the Northern Expedition be only a few hundred thousand?

Zheng Heng and Chen Mao also fell into this misunderstanding somewhat, before coming, Zheng Heng and Chen Mao didn't feel anything, although they were a little red because they were also generals, but if the other party was Zhu Zhanyan, they still felt normal.

But when they saw the Jingguan that was bigger than the one on the grassland, even if they were used to seeing big scenes, the two of them couldn't hold it anymore.

"His Royal Highness, this is ......" Chen Mao was a little stumbling when he spoke, pointing to the Jingguan by the lake, only to feel that the three views were shattered.

"What?" Zhu Zhanyan raised his head in a bit of confusion, and couldn't help but roll his eyes after seeing the Jingguan that Chen Mao was referring to.

"Jingguan! I've never seen it! Aren't you from the grasslands? ”

……

Chen Mao said he didn't want to speak.

It is right to follow the grassland, this is one of the resumes he is most proud of so far, except for that expedition to the grassland, only following his father with Zhu Dijing can hardly make him more proud than this resume.

But when had he ever seen such a big Kyoto Temple!?

"The last general knows that this is Jingguan, but ......" Chen Mao was speechless, and his speech was a little incoherent.

"Isn't that a bit too big......

"Well, it's a bit ...... to say that," Zhu Zhanyan nodded and explained casually.

"After the weather began to warm up, the Wa Kingdom began to organize people to attack, wanting to take back this Iwami Silver Mountain, but now it is spring, it is the time when the farming is busy, and the morale of their soldiers is not very high, so this is the result."

"Originally, I didn't want to, after all, this silver mountain still needs a large number of miners, and I am reluctant to let the soldiers or transfer people from our Daming to come, but they have to rush hard, and I can't help it."

……

Zheng Heng and Chen Mao didn't know what Versailles was, but they felt that their self-esteem was a little frustrated after listening to Zhu Zhanyan's words.

"Then this Jingguan ......" Zheng Heng also felt his mouth dry.

"Jingguan?" Zhu Zhanyan glanced at the Jingguan in the distance again, and said casually.

"I don't have a specific understanding, but there should be two or three hundred thousand people......

"I originally wanted to hang them, after all, this silver mountain has been taken, even if you don't do anything, it's okay to mine here, anyway, if you have income, you naturally don't worry."

"But the Wa country probably didn't want me to be so comfortable, and although the exchange rate of silver in the Wa country was not high, it was money after all, so I began to organize people to attack."

"It's been more than a month, and Bigo, Bichu, Misaku, Izumo and Boqi have all been attacked one after another, intending to take back the silver mountain."

"No, I didn't want to push it forward, but I couldn't help it, so I had to push it all the way to this Izumo (ròu) Michi Lake."

Now Zhu Zhan is no longer in Yinshan, because the area around Yinshan has been stabilized, and the supply troops have been stationed, so he took advantage of the Japanese army to attack Iwami, and led people to advance directly in the direction of Heianjing, the capital of the Japanese king.

Now he has left the Iwami realm and has come to Shinji Lake in the Izumo realm.

It may also be a bit of a coincidence, the last time I was fishing in the grassland to build a Kyoto view, this time in the Japanese country and in Shinji Lake, both times next to the big lake.

Until now, no herdsmen have dared to use it as a water source, and even if they dare to approach, they only go to drink a horse or something, and they dare not take the water that people drink from the fishing sea.

It is estimated that this Shinji Lake will be the same in the future.

But this is also possible, after all, people here may be born with a bit of a problem, maybe it's okay.

If this is not the case, how can they explain the things that they did in the future?

"His Royal Highness the Prince ......" Listening to Zhu Zhan's Versailles remarks, Chen Mao said that he didn't want to stay here anymore.

"I don't know, can we go and see?"

"See what?" Zhu Zhanyan was puzzled when he heard this.

"What's there to see about Kyokan? It's not like you haven't seen it. ”

"Besides, this time the Zhujing Temple is also by the lake, and the lake is half dyed red, what are you going to do?"

"Don't talk about this uselessness! How many soldiers did you bring with you this time? ”

"Returning to His Royal Highness!" When it came to business, Zheng Heng and Chen Mao immediately straightened up.

"On the orders of His Majesty, the two of us will lead 60,000 soldiers, and everything will be subject to the orders of His Royal Highness the Prince!"

"Sixty thousand? Not bad. Zhu Zhanyan nodded with satisfaction, because he didn't expect the old man to give so many people.

60,000 people, plus the previous 20,000, and then 100,000 people, is a lot of numbers.

You must know that the last time the Han King Zhu Gaosui led the army on the Northern Expedition, the actual usable combat power was only more than 100,000, although it was claimed to be 200,000, but there were still many people in it.

"You take people directly to Yinshan, I will advance to Heiankyo in the future, and Yinshan will definitely not be able to take care of it."

"The current Silver Mountain has a monthly output of about 150,000 taels of silver, which is a big number, and it is a pity to delay production, so your task is to guard the Silver Mountain and protect my supply line."

"Huh? This ......"

Zhu Zhanyan looked at Zheng Heng and Chen Mao in surprise, not knowing what they were hesitating about.

You must know that the two of them were transferred over this time because Zhu Zhanyan wanted to continue to advance, he only had more than 100,000 troops, and there was no way to ensure the production of Yinshan while advancing, so they came.

But now, looking at the two of them, it seems that there is some reluctance?

"Do you guys have any ideas?" Zhu Zhanyan put away the piles of battle reports on the table and turned to look at the two.

He wanted to see what these two men were here for.

If you're here to be a reservist, help him...... Oh no, it's to help the imperial court look at Yinshan, then he welcomes it, and maybe he is willing to share some of their military exploits in the future.

But if they want to come and pick peaches......

Hmph, Zhu Zhanyan can only say that they are thinking too beautifully, he Zhu Zhanyan is not Zhang Fu, the old man can give his third uncle an old mother-level assistant with a single order.

Want to pick peaches? No problem! Zhu Zhanyan said that not to mention peaches, he can give you the entire peach tree, or even the entire peach forest, but!

If something happens in the future, then don't think about him to wipe his ass!

"Your Royal Highness, it's not what you think......" As soon as they saw Zhu Zhanyan's expression, Zheng Heng and Chen Mao knew that Zhu Zhanyan was thinking about something, and hurriedly began to explain.

"We ...... I don't really want to go to Silver Mountain, can you let us follow you......"

"Don't get me wrong! Not everyone! Just the two of us! ”

……

Zhu Zhanyan looked at Zheng Heng and Chen Mao inexplicably.

It would not be surprising if this was put on other generals, after all, the generals themselves pursued military merits, and most of the generals in the court had supported the King of Han before, and there were very few who supported the crown prince.

But Zheng Heng and Chen Mao are different.

Although the two of them did not support the crown prince, they also did not support the king of Han, because they had always been under the hands of the old man.

Zheng Heng was the hero of Jingnan, the first general to switch from Emperor Jianwen to the old man during the Jingnan period, and he made many military exploits later, otherwise he would not have been promoted to Wu'an Hou by virtue of Jingnan's merits.

As for Chen Mao, he was also martyred and made meritorious contributions, but at that time he was only named Ningyang Bo, and later in the sixth year of Yongle, he was promoted to Ningyang Marquis because of his defense of Ningxia.

These two are the kind of generals who have no camp and have been standing behind the old man.

But in the same way, this actually means that they will be the people of the prince's lineage, because normally, the prince is the future emperor, and they are the emperor's people, so they are naturally the prince's people.

It's just that that's a little too early for now.

"You two ......" Zhu Zhanyan looked at Zheng Heng and Chen Mao with interest.

"How many years? It's been twelve years, and both of you are old ministers in the court, and you are both ministers who are sad with the emperor's grandfather, so you don't know the rules, right? ”

"Don't you know what kind of situation I am now, at this time, the imperial grandfather asked you to come to guard the Ishimi Silver Mountain, but you want to follow me to conquer the Wa Kingdom?"

"What are the implications, you don't understand?"

Zheng Heng and Chen Mao glanced at each other, wanting to say something, but they closed their mouths in unison.

Indeed, what Zhu Zhanyan said is not unreasonable.

They are one of the few military generals in the DPRK who did not stand in line, which is a very important point, and it may also be one of the important reasons why Zhu Gaochi recommended them and the old man sent them over.

But if they come, they will disobey the order and follow Zhu Zhan to go on the expedition......

Although it is said that the general will not be subject to the order of the king, but this is not the same thing at all!

Is the whole court, including the emperor and the crown prince, worried that they will not obey orders? ! They are all afraid that they will be convinced by Zhu Zhanyan!

One has already gone to the domain...... The prince of the Han Dynasty still has such a great influence in the court, let alone the crown prince, even the emperor will be afraid of it!

As for what they said about just the two of them, not bringing troops......

This is even more serious, if there is no problem with leading the troops, it will be considered to be to grab credit, but if it is just the two of them, it is really convinced.

Not to mention what will happen to Zhu Zhanyan in the future, even if the two of them go back, I am afraid that they will not be happy.

"Don't overthink it." Zhu Zhanyan stood up with a smile and patted the two of them on the shoulder.

"The food of the king, the matter of loyalty to the king."

"Just do what you have to do, and ...... for the rest"

"It's useless to think about it."

After speaking, Zhu Zhanyan left the camp directly, leaving only Zheng Heng and Chen Mao looking at each other.

To be honest, the two of them were still very excited to be selected to come over to support Iwami Silver Mountain this time, after all, they were the closest people to Zhu Zhan Yan after they came.

Following a killing god, and it is a killing god who has built Jingguan several times, it is a very simple thing to mix military skills.

Although this kind of merit is no longer enough to promote them to knighthood, only the kind of merit that commands the victory of the Great War can make them promoted.

However, there is not a single military general who does not desire military merit, even if it is just to talk about comfort.

Yingtianfu, Imperial Palace, Qianqing Palace.

"You mean, those three guys brought back some seeds?" After listening to Ji Gang's report, Zhu Di frowned.

The difference in worldview made him unable to understand what Zhu Zhanyan was doing, in his opinion, there was no seed in this world worthy of Zhu Zhanyan sending people to retrieve it from thousands of miles away.

Especially...... The losses are still so big.

Of the nearly 200 people, only three people came back alive, and these three people are not intact.

Qian Yong and Jian Xiao have countless scars on their bodies, not to mention others, even Zhu Zhanyan is a little afraid to look at them.

The worst thing is Zhu Sanfeng, a woman, in order to ensure that she can return to Daming smoothly, she doesn't know how many times she has experienced insults, maybe she can't remember it herself......

Zhu Di didn't understand what kind of seed was worthy of Zhu Zhanyan's attention, and it could make those 200 people willing to give their lives, or even more important things.

"Didn't find out what the hell those seeds were?" Thinking of this, Zhu Di raised his head and asked again.

"Back to Your Majesty, there is no ......" Ji Gang's face was filled with shame.

"His Royal Highness the King of Han sent people to wait day and night, and there were people patrolling non-stop for twelve hours, and no one was allowed to approach without the permission of His Royal Highness the Prince."

"Moreover, His Royal Highness the Prince of the World has also issued a death order, but anyone who approaches at will will be killed on the spot, no matter who they are."

"You told you not to startle the snake, so the minister ......"

"Is that so......" Zhu Di lowered his head and pondered.

At the beginning of the order, he emphasized to Ji Gang several times that the task this time was to find out as much as possible what Zhu Zhanyan had brought back, rather than investigating recklessly as before.

After all, Zhu Di just wants to know what his grandson is doing, not to thoroughly investigate and deal with corrupt officials as before.

"Your Majesty, ...... after that" Ji Gang breathed a sigh of relief in his heart and asked cautiously.

"Keep watching." Zhu Di sighed.

"Just keep an eye on it, it's best if you can figure it out, if you can't figure it out......"

"Don't force it......"

"Yes!" This time, Ji Gang was completely relaxed.

Like this kind of thing involving the imperial family, if Zhu Di gave the death order, it would be fine, although he, the commander of the brocade guard, would be uncomfortable, but it would definitely not be the time to settle the account.

But if it is a royal family like Zhu Zhanyan, who is obviously very favored, but is difficult to explain, he will be the commander of the brocade guard who is not good.

No, if it's gone, it's still a relief, but I'm afraid that after the autumn, my family will be gone.
