Inside the Kunning Palace.

"Mother, mother!"

A girl in palace costume, dressed slim and elegant, twenty-eight years old, with a face like a peach blossom and a heart orchid, gently calling Queen Ma.

It is Zhu Yuanzhang's eldest princess, Princess Qinghe.

But in the face of Princess Qinghe's call, Queen Ma did not react, as if she was stunned.

"Queen Mother!!"

Seeing this, Princess Qinghe suddenly raised her voice, startling the fascinated Queen Ma.

"You damn girl, why are you so loud? It's not that I can't hear, and you're not deaf! ”

Queen Ma came back to her senses, saw Princess Qinghe, and said angrily.

Princess Qinghe pouted and said:

"Queen Mother, what's the matter with you these days? What do I think of your distraction, is something going on? ”

When Queen Ma heard this, she sighed secretly in her heart, although she usually pretended not to care, but occasionally lost her mind, she would still be discovered by people close to her.

However, Queen Ma thinks that the less people know about the fourth child, the better, after all, if something really happens at sea and the people know the truth, it is likely that the world will be shaken.

"It's fine, it's just that I may have been a little tired lately and have not been concentrating enough."

"Did you come to find the queen mother?"

Princess Qinghe Bingxue is smart, and she knows that Queen Ma is lying at a glance.

However, Queen Ma didn't want to say it, and she couldn't force it, so she could only say:

"Mother, have you forgotten? The day after tomorrow is the fourth brother's birthday. ”

"In the past, our family would prepare in advance for the fourth brother, but I don't seem to have prepared in advance this year, so I came to ask."

"But what happened to the fourth brother? I don't think I've seen the fourth brother in a long time."

Queen Ma felt a pain in her heart, thinking of Zhu Di's birthday, Queen Ma's eyes instantly turned red, and tears couldn't help but roll in her eyes.

Queen Ma's love for her children is even higher than Zhu Yuanzhang, and now Zhu Di is alone at sea, and his life and death are unknown.

Although she has always pretended not to care, when Zhu Di's name is mentioned again, Queen Ma still trembles in her heart and is extremely worried.

Princess Qinghe noticed Queen Ma's abnormality, and hurriedly asked:

"Queen Mother, what are you crying about? Could it be that the fourth brother..."

Queen Ma couldn't hold back any longer, and her tears rolled down like a beaded curtain with broken threads.

This frightened Princess Qinghe, and quickly wiped her tears with a handkerchief for Queen Ma.

And Queen Ma finally told Princess Qinghe about the worries in her heart in the past few days.

Shanghu County, going to sea, joining the army, life and death are unknown.

One by one, Princess Qinghe was terrified when she heard it, until she heard that Zhu Di was now fighting against the Japanese invaders overseas, and she didn't know whether she was alive or dead.

Princess Qinghe was also so frightened that she cried, and the two of them hugged their heads and cried.

"The emperor has arrived!"

Just when the two were crying, Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly arrived at Kunning Palace.

When Zhu Yuanzhang stepped into the palace and saw the mother and daughter in pain, he was stunned for a moment, and then quickly came to Queen Ma's side and asked with concern:

"Girl, what's wrong? Who bullied you? Tell us that we have to break him into pieces. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang's angry voice shook the entire temple.

When Queen Ma saw Zhu Yuanzhang coming, she slowly calmed down, wiped her tears, and said:

"Juhachi, I'm fine."

"Why are you here?"

Seeing that Queen Ma was reluctant to speak, Zhu Yuanzhang looked at his daughter and asked:

"Girl, what happened just now, tell us about it?"

Princess Qinghe was still a little afraid of Zhu Yuanzhang, her father, and told Zhu Yuanzhang what had just happened in a sobbing voice.

"Alas!"

After listening to the cause and effect, Zhu Yuanzhang was also helpless, after all, now that the army has set out, and the fourth child has to go, even his family has to hide it, what can Zhu Yuanzhang do?

"Father, can't you let that Shanghu County Commander collect troops back?"

Princess Qinghe said timidly, in her opinion, this is all a good thing done by the county magistrate of Shanghu County.

If it weren't for this, his fourth brother would not have risked his life and went to sea to fight for the Japanese invaders.

Who are the Wokes? It's clearly a group of outlaws, how can his fourth brother fight with these people?

Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes widened, and he was about to get angry, but when he saw the worried look on Princess Qinghe's face, he didn't say anything after all.

Instead, he slowed down his tone and said softly:

"Military affairs, how can it be child's play?"

"Although your fourth brother is a prince, he is the seed of our old Zhu family, so he should fight on the battlefield and serve the country, this is his fate that he can't bypass."

Although he said this, Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes were looking south, and his thoughts had already flown to the war-torn island.

....

Shengsi Island.

"Old horse, you can't rush anymore, let's send it to death again!"

At this moment, Zhu Di was leading his team of less than 100 people to rush to the beach.

And the seaside port is now surrounded by Japanese bandits, and the number of people is definitely not less than 20,000.

If Li Jin was here, he would definitely be surprised, he didn't expect that there were so many widows hiding on this small island.

But when you think about it, this is normal.

At the beginning, Zhu Yuanzhang hanged Zhang Shicheng in Pingliang City, which is now Suzhou.

To pacify Zhang Shicheng's forces, Zhu Yuanzhang spent three years.

This is not to say that Zhang Shicheng is popular with the people, but Zhang Shicheng is a smuggler of salt, so he naturally knows the importance of business.

During Zhang Shicheng's reign, business was encouraged, and commercial taxes were most of Zhang Shicheng's tax revenue, coupled with the interests of maritime trade, Zhang Shicheng could be described as a rich streamer.

Naturally, the peasants at the bottom were not careful, and most of their money came from commerce, and all agricultural taxes were levied less.

It is precisely because of this that Zhang Shicheng's reputation among the people in eastern Zhejiang is still good.

After Zhu Yuanzhang hanged Zhang Shicheng, he thought that eastern Zhejiang and Jiangsu were all thieves who followed the rebellion, and imposed heavy taxes on these places.

The people of eastern Zhejiang, unable to bear the taxes, fled to the sea, until Zhu Yuanzhang issued a ban on the sea, and the situation was alleviated.

Shengsi Island, as a small island nearby, naturally became a gathering place for these displaced people, and with the prevalence of the Japanese Invaders, these displaced people gradually mixed up with the Japanese Invaders, and gradually developed the habit of looting.

After the continuous development and growth of these people, the gang of Japanese in Shengsi Island has reached tens of thousands.

If it weren't for Li Jin's mistake, the wouldn't have become the largest gang of pirates in the coastal areas in a few decades, disturbing the coastal areas of Zhejiang.

In the future, Wang Zhi made his fortune from this place.

However, although the power has not yet swelled to its peak, it is not something that Zhu Di can shake with just a hundred people.

More than 20,000 of those would-be pirates, in a fan-shaped queue, pressed towards the port in a hurry.

In the center of the team, Ichiro Ida, the leader of the Japanese Bandits, personally led the team.

The moment Ichiro Ida heard the bell, he began to mobilize all his men on the island.

Since returning yesterday, Inoue Ichiro has been uneasy, and he didn't expect the other party to really dare to come to the door.

If it is said that at sea, Inoue Ichiro does not dare to touch Li Jin's super battleship with his small fishing boat.

Then on the island, Inoue Ichiro felt that the other party was asking for his own death.

Although he is only a ronin, he is also very strict in his control over the island's pirates.

After all, all those who dared to disobey him had been sunk into the sea by him to feed the fish.

There are tens of thousands of elites on the island, this is the capital of Inoue Ichiro who dares to run rampant in the sea.

He even planned to wait until a few years later, with an army of 100,000, to wave his army eastward to attack the Japanese and take his hometown.

There is an old Chinese saying that if you don't return to your hometown, it's like walking at night in brocade.

Now that these people dare to go to his own territory, he will break all these people into pieces to vent his hatred.

But just when he rushed to the port with tens of thousands of menacing, he encountered a rout on the way, and when he learned that the opponent's firearms were powerful, but he was short of manpower.

Inoue Ichiro immediately thought of diverting the tiger from the mountain, using the terrain advantage to eat the opponent's reinforcements, and then smashing Huanglong and taking the port.

At that point, he will not only get a batch of powerful firearms, but also the kind of giant battleship that he drools over.

Now that the first step has been carried out smoothly, presumably the enemies who were diverted from the mountain by him have already been killed by his own men in the mountains.

Next, he only needs to destroy the enemies in the harbor to get the battleship of his heart's desire.

When the time comes, with these warships, who else will be their opponents at sea?

Even the Pirate Alliance in the South did not dare to be disrespectful to themselves.

Just as the Japanese were approaching the beach, the navy on the beach had already formed a battle formation, but compared with the 20,000 Japanese invaders, the naval queue of 500 seemed so thin.

All the naval soldiers in the array also knew that this time they were more than lucky, but at this moment they had no way to retreat, so they could only fight to the death.

After Zhu Di chased and killed the enemy for more than half an hour, he also found out that something was wrong and hurriedly led his army back.

But when he saw that his five hundred colleagues on the seashore were about to face a siege of 20,000 people, his eyes instantly turned red.

Even though there were only more than a hundred of his men at this time, he still desperately wanted to rush forward and kill and relieve his brothers and comrades.

However, just when Zhu Di was about to go berserk, he was stopped by Sun Cannon next to him.

Zhu Di waited for Sun Cannon with red eyes, and shouted:

"Sun Cannon, if you are afraid of death, you just wait honestly in the same place, Lao Tzu can't watch his brother die in battle and be indifferent."

"I'm going to fight alongside him!!"

Sun Dacang's face was flushed by Zhu Di's excitement, and he also roared angrily:

"The son of a bitch is afraid of death."

"I'm here to calm you down, let's find a way to save them, instead of going up and sending them to death!"
