Chapter 144: Assemble Your Army, Prepare for War!
The emergency military information in the southeastern provinces came one after another, which made Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao's faces very gloomy.
Looking at the report on the imperial case, Zhu Yuanzhang could no longer suppress the anger in his heart, and roared:
"Order, let Xu Da enter Beijing!"
Zhu Biao was shocked and hurriedly dissuaded:
"Father and Emperor must not, now the navy is still under construction, and if he attacks rashly, I am afraid that he will not be the opponent of the Japanese Invaders."
Zhu Biao felt that his father had been dizzy.
Just now, the news of the Japanese raiding the southeastern provinces came.
Not only Taizhou, but also Hangzhou in Jiangnan Province, Quanzhou, Fuzhou and other places in Fujian Province were all invaded by the Japanese invaders.
As if someone was directing from behind, overnight, the southeast coast of the Ming Dynasty was full of beacon fires.
The most infuriating thing is that these pirates are like locusts, they will kill wherever they go, leaving no armor behind.
More than 3,000 people were killed or injured in Fuping County, Hangzhou, Quanzhou, Fuzhou and other places.
At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang summoned Xu Da to Beijing, and he didn't have to think about it to know that it was to send troops to exterminate the Japanese invaders.
Hearing Zhu Biao's admonition, Zhu Yuanzhang's expression did not relax, but opened his eyes angrily and said in a deep voice:
"The revenge of the people of the Ming Dynasty has to be avenged."
"If these robbers dare to come to seek death, then we will let these people die without a place to be buried."
"Quickly summon Xu Da into Beijing, we will send troops to exterminate the Japanese invaders!"
Zhu Biao didn't dare to persuade again, and the little eunuch on the side hurried down to draft the will and convey Zhu Yuanzhang's will.
...
Shanghu County, inside the base.
Li Jin rarely appeared at the training base, and these days, he devoted himself to the great cause of shipbuilding, and all the training of the navy was handed over to the teaching team.
But today, Li Jin came to the training base uncharacteristically and found Lan Yu and Xu Da, who were training soldiers at the beach.
"Master Li, why are you interested in coming here today?"
After Lan Yu saw Li Jin, she was in a good mood, and she couldn't help but tease.
Li Jin didn't have any smile on his face, but was gloomy and terrifying, as if he could drip water.
Xu Da felt that something was wrong on the side, and asked out loud:
"What happened?"
"There's something going on in the south!"
Li Jin took out the report in his hand and gave it to Xu Da and Lanyu.
Xu Da was shocked, and hurriedly checked it after taking the report.
Lan Yu on the side also squeezed closer, he wanted to see what happened to make Li Jin so angry!
"Brute!!"
After Lan Yu finished reading the report, he suddenly roared angrily, and the murderous aura overflowed uncontrollably, making the surrounding temperature seem to be a little lower.
The corners of Xu Da's mouth, which had been smiling gently, also sank at this time.
"The crime of the Japanese deserves death!"
Xu Da didn't roar, but the understatement made people shudder.
Li Jin's face was still ugly, and he said:
"If you don't take revenge, you won't be a man."
The three of them have the same attitude, and they all want to crush these widows and scatter their bones.
But none of the three said anything, and immediately sent troops to exterminate the Japanese invaders.
This is because their current training has not yet achieved the expected training results.
Just as the three of them were talking, Zhu Yuanzhang's eunuch came to several people out of breath.
"The emperor decreed, Xuan Wei Duke Xu Da to meet him."
When Li Jin, Lanyu and Xu Da heard this, they were immediately shocked, and at this time they summoned Xu Da, and the purpose was self-evident.
Xu Da's face was a little ugly, but he still knelt down to accept the order and prepared to enter Beijing.
"Wei Guogong, this is not the best time to send troops, please Wei Guogong must keep it in mind."
Li Jin was a little uneasy, and reminded Xu Da loudly, hoping that Xu Da could pass on this to Zhu Yuanzhang and let Zhu Yuanzhang endure a little for a few days.
Xu Da looked at Li Jin with a responsible face and didn't say a word.
The closest general to Zhu Yuanzhang, Xu Da can be said to have a deep understanding of Zhu Yuanzhang.
Now that something happens in the southeast, Zhu Yuanzhang will definitely not sit idly by.
If Li Jin hadn't tossed these warships and navy, Zhu Yuanzhang might have settled down and moved the people to the interior.
But now that Zhu Yuanzhang actually sent Xu Dalanyu to lead 20,000 troops to Shanghu County for training, then he will definitely send troops.
Even if I try to dissuade myself at that time, I am afraid that it will be in vain.
"Grandpa Guo, let's go quickly, the emperor is still waiting for you!"
Xu Da hadn't replied yet, but the little eunuch next to him had already urged, after all, Zhu Yuanzhang's expression at that time looked very anxious.
Xu Da glanced at the little eunuch and scared the little eunuch so much that he didn't dare to speak.
Then he turned to Li Jin and said:
"Master Li, you still have to prepare quickly, this war is inevitable."
Li Jin's eyes widened instantly, and he wanted to persuade again, but was stopped by Xu Da reaching out.
"This matter is not something you and I can control, the matter of eating the king's fortune and being loyal to the king."
"This operation is imperative, and it must be won, and if it loses, the Daming Sea will no longer be owned by the Daming."
Xu Da's tone was resolute, his expression was resolute, and he looked at Li Jin's gaze, which could not be refused.
Li Jin understood.
Zhu Yuanzhang must definitely fight this battle, and he can only win but not lose, otherwise all Li Jin's efforts will be turned into a virtual shadow.
Xu Da left and didn't explain anything, but he believed that Li Jin was a smart person, and he didn't need to say it anymore, he should also understand.
"Master Li, what should we do next?"
Lan Yu looked at Li Jin with blazing eyes, and he naturally understood what Xu Da meant just now.
Next, it depends on what Li Jin says?
After all, when the army is marching and fighting, the grain and grass of the warships must be provided by Li Jin.
Li Jin lowered his head and pondered.
To be honest, Li Jin didn't want to go on the expedition at this time.
On the one hand, the training of non-commissioned officers has not yet been completed, although the queue of these people is already presentable.
However, the use of weapons was still a little jerky, and it did not achieve the effect that Li Jin wanted.
Now that he is going to sea, Li Jin is still a little uneasy in his heart.
On the other hand, if the water army is not familiar with the water nature in the first place, it is very likely that they will drown directly if they fall into the icy seawater.
But Xu Da's words just now let Li Jin know that next, Zhu Yuanzhang would not give him time to prepare.
Thinking of the Ming people who were brutally killed by the Japanese invaders, Li Jin finally gritted his teeth, turned his heart sideways, and said coldly:
"Assemble the army and prepare for war!"
......
Inside the upper study.
After a day and a night of running wildly, Xu Da finally rushed to the study in the afternoon of the next day.
When Zhu Yuanzhang heard that Xu Da had entered Beijing, he did not give Xu Da time to rest, and directly summoned Xu Da into the study to discuss the march.
Xu Da's hair and beard are a little ice slag, and his face is very weathered, and he looks full of vicissitudes.
But at this time, Zhu Yuanzhang didn't care whether Xu Da was tired or not, and asked straight to the point:
"Xu Da, do you know about the southeast?"
Xu Da arched his hand and said:
"Minister, I know!"
"Tell us, what are these brutes going to do?"
Zhu Yuanzhang's tiger eyes widened angrily, looking like he was going to eat people.
Xu Da replied in a deep voice:
"These beasts deserve ten thousand deaths, ten thousand corpses, and they must never be reborn!"
"In that case, let's let you send troops, can you exterminate this group of beasts and avenge our Ming people!"
Zhu Yuanzhang stared at Xu Da, hoping to get the answer he wanted from Xu Da's mouth.
But Xu Da just arched his hands, lowered his head, and didn't say a word.
Zhu Yuanzhang saw that Xu Da didn't answer, and his tone suddenly became a little heavier.
"Xu Da, tell us, can you or can't?"
Xu Da sighed, although he knew Zhu Yuanzhang's intentions, Xu Da still advised:
"Your Majesty, the navy has not yet been trained, and now that the troops are dispatched, the outcome is unpredictable."
"Yes or no?"
Zhu Yuanzhang didn't answer, just repeated the question just now.
Zhu Yuanzhang naturally knows the problem of insufficient training.
But the problem now is that there is no time to train the navy again.
Nowadays, the Japanese are extremely rampant, and these people can attack the Ming Dynasty dozens of times in just a few days.
Moreover, it is in different places and different provinces, which shows that the southeast coast of Daming is no longer safe.
Although Zhu Yuanzhang has made the will to move inward again, it takes time, not an instantaneous completion.
If during this time, the Japanese invaders attack again, then the people of the Ming Dynasty will be hit hard again, which is unacceptable to Zhu Yuanzhang.
This will be a major blow to his prestige.
For today's plan, the only way to do this is to let the navy take the initiative to move inward for the people of the Ming Dynasty and buy time.
No matter what the victory or defeat is, at least these wouldn't dare to invade the coastal areas of the Ming Dynasty unscrupulously.
Listening to Zhu Yuanzhang's resolute tone, Xu Da knew that there was no room for turning around in this matter, so he had to say:
"The minister will be the emperor, break this thief, and avenge the people of the Ming Dynasty!"
