Chapter 187: Absolute Letter

Upper study.

With the invasion of the Japanese invaders, there were more and more twists and turns on the southeast coast, all of which were attacked by the Japanese invaders.

The entire Fujian and Guangxi regions seem to have become a pot of porridge.

Since Deng Yue was besieged in Fuzhou City by the Japanese bandits, these Japanese bandits have become more and more rampant.

In the past, they may not have dared to go too deep into the territory of the Ming Dynasty, but even Deng Yu, the Duke of Weiguo, was defeated by the Japanese and retreated in the city and did not dare to come out.

This further fueled the arrogance of the pirates, making them more presumptuous and bold.

Even the day before, Zhu Yuanzhang received a report that the territory of Longyan in Fujian Province had been attacked by Japanese pirates.

You must know that Longyan City is hundreds of miles away from the coast.

And the Japanese invaders appeared in Longyan County so swaggeringly, burning, killing and looting, because they didn't treat the Ming army in Fujian as human beings at all.

Of course, now the Ming army in Fujian has basically been suppressed and beaten by the Japanese invaders.

Since Deng Yu led 3,000 soldiers of the Beijing battalion with tens of thousands of guards and was defeated, Fujian's defense has been useless, allowing the Japanese to enter and exit.

"Father, don't worry, Li Jin and Wei Guogong have already gone south, and there will be good news in the near future."

Zhu Biao enlightened Zhu Yuanzhang on the side.

But Zhu Yuanzhang's expression was still gloomy, Xu Da and Li Jin were thousands of miles away from Fujian, and they didn't know when they would have to get to Fujian.

But Zhu Yuanzhang has not received news from Deng Yu for several days, which is by no means good news for Zhu Yuanzhang.

After all, Deng Yu had been blocked in Fuzhou City before.

Now that the news has been lost for so long, it is likely that it is already a lot of bad luck.

If Deng Yu really died in Fuzhou City, then the Ming Dynasty, which had finally settled down, would definitely become turbulent again.

You must know that Deng Yu is the Duke of Weiguo who Zhu Yuanzhang was crowned by Zhu Yuanzhang when he founded the country, with a high position and great achievements, and his influence in the army can even be compared with Xu Da.

Once Deng Yue has an accident, the army will definitely be shaken first.

If Mongolia takes the opportunity to go south, it is afraid that the north of the Ming Dynasty will have many troubles from now on.

Thinking of this, Zhu Yuanzhang was even more upset.

At this moment, an urgent report came from outside the door:

"Report! Fujian 800 miles of urgent war report! ”

Zhu Yuanzhang hurriedly asked people to bring up the battle report, but after reading a few lines, his originally gloomy face seemed to be able to drip water at this time.

Zhu Biao saw that something was wrong, and hurriedly asked:

"Father, what happened?"

"This is Deng Yu's last letter."

Zhu Yuanzhang put the battle report on the imperial case weakly, and the whole person sat on the dragon chair and froze.

You must know that Deng Yu was the first group of people to follow Zhu Yuanzhang, he was not only brave in battle, but also brave and strategic, and made several great contributions to Zhu Yuanzhang.

Zhu Yuanzhang takes great care of this little brother and fellow countryman who is a few years younger than himself.

In the end, by virtue of his military exploits, Deng Yu was named the Duke of Weiguo.

You must know that at this time, Zhu Yuanzhang rewarded a total of one piece of Guogong, and there were only six.

Even Tang He, who followed Zhu Yuanzhang at the earliest, was only a Marquis of Zhongshan, but Deng Yu was awarded the title of Duke of Weiguo, and Zhu Yuanzhang's respect for Deng Yu is self-evident.

But it was such a prince who would die at the hands of the Japanese Invaders.

Zhu Biao ignored Zhu Yuanzhang's distraction, took the letter from the imperial case, and read it carefully.

It turned out that just yesterday, the Japanese invaders seemed to have gone crazy and launched a large-scale attack on Fuzhou City.

Day and night, several teams of men and horses took turns to fight, and it seemed that they were vowing to break through Fuzhou City.

Deng Yue saw that the bandits were attacking the city urgently, and felt that he might not be able to hold on, so he wrote such a desperate letter.

expressed his loyalty to the army, and at the same time vaguely told Zhu Yuanzhang that if he unfortunately died in battle, he hoped that Zhu Yuanzhang would be kind to his wife and children.

After Zhu Biao finished reading it, the whole person became overwhelmed.

I thought that Deng Yue would be able to hold on to the fortified city for half a month, waiting for Xu Da and Li Jin to come to the rescue.

But now, Deng Yu didn't hold on for even seven days, which really shocked Zhu Yuanzhang and his son.

Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly thought of something, suddenly got up and yelled at the door:

"Let Mao Xiang come to see us!!"

Soon, Mao Xiang came to the upper study in a hurry, saw Zhu Yuanzhang, and hurriedly saluted respectfully.

"Mao Xiang, where are Li Jin and Xu Da now?"

"Emperor Qi, Wei Guogong and they have just set off for three days, and now according to the distance, they are almost near Ningbo."

Mao Xiang's answer made Zhu Yuanzhang frown.

After such a long time, Xu Da actually walked to Ningbo?

That's too slow!

Zhu Yuanzhang immediately ordered:

"Contact Xu Da and Li Jin immediately, ask them to speed up the march, we order them to rush to the waters of Fujian within three days, and find out Deng Yu, the Duke of Weiguo!"

Three days?

Hearing this time, Mao Xiang only felt that his scalp was numb.

Although it is true that it is much more convenient to travel at sea than on land, correspondingly, the speed of the ship depends largely on the wind.

If the wind is not in the right direction, even if the people on the boat are in a hurry, there is no way.

In addition, the sea area of Zhejiang is also not very flat, and the terrain of the Wenzhou sea area is more complicated.

Mao Xiang opened his mouth and wanted to give Zhu Yuanzhang a message, saying that the three-day time was too rushed.

But as soon as he looked up and saw Zhu Yuanzhang's indifferent eyes, Mao Xiang's words instantly stuck in his throat and could no longer be spoken.

On the contrary, Zhu Biao said on the side:

"Father, is it too much time for three days?"

"Hurry?"

Zhu Yuanzhang did not continue to say.

At this time, Fuzhou was already in danger, let alone three days, even if it was two days, or even one day, Deng Yu might not be able to hold on.

If Deng Yu really died in Fuzhou, what would it mean for Li Jin and Xu Da to rush to Fuzhou again?

Mao Xiang understood Zhu Yuanzhang's intentions, and he stopped talking nonsense, so he planned to go out and find a way to contact Li Jin, Xu Da and others.

Just as Mao Xiang was about to leave, an official of the General Administration Department happily ran to the door of the upper study and shouted:

"Your Majesty, great victory, great victory!"

"The Duke of Wei was in Wenzhou, Zhejiang, beheaded more than 30,000 Japanese invaders, destroyed more than 80 warships, and defeated the Japanese on the southeast coast."

"From now on, I will be on the coast of Zhejiang in the Ming Dynasty, and I will no longer be affected by the Japanese Invaders!!"

Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned for a moment, then he was ecstatic in his heart, and immediately ordered the official of the General Administration Department to come in.

And Mao Xiang, who was about to leave, also stopped, and was curiously stunned, wanting to hear how Wei Guogong did it.

As soon as the official of the General Administration Department entered the room, before he knelt down, he ran towards Zhu Yuanzhang excitedly, and kept shouting the word "great victory" in his mouth.

At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang didn't care if this person was rude, but asked the little eunuch to quickly present the fold, and he wanted to take a good look at what was going on.

After taking the fold, Zhu Yuanzhang read ten lines at a glance, and the original gloom on his face was immediately swept away, but he put on a faint smile.

After reading it roughly, Zhu Yuanzhang read it carefully, then raised his head and praised loudly:

"Okay, great!!"

"Xu Da is worthy of being our Great Wall, not only has the style of a general, but also the courage of a champion, throwing away his armor and fleeing in embarrassment."

"The little widow, just a clown jumping off the beam, dares to brush off our Ming Dynasty's tiger might, this time I have to make them regret it."

"And this Li Jin, it's not bad, hahaha, it's really good!!"

Xu Da reported the battle he experienced last night to Zhu Yuanzhang in 1510.

No matter how big or small, from the day and night of the army, Keri set off, quickly southward, until it passed through the waters of Wenzhou, and was attacked by the Japanese invaders.

In the end, he fought fiercely with the Japanese at night, held on to the battleship, swore not to retreat, waited until dawn, fought back to the death, and destroyed all the Japanese warships.

Except for a few lucky ones who fled in battleships, the other Japanese and warships were either killed by artillery or stabbed to death by the Ming army.

In this battle, the Ming army suffered more than 3,000 casualties, and the number of Japanese soldiers killed directly reached more than 30,000.

It can be said that most of the Japanese who originally plagued Zhejiang were wiped out by Xu Da in the First World War, and the rest of the people are estimated to have been frightened long ago.

In my lifetime, whether I dare to come to Daming or not is unknown.

After Zhu Biao finished reading the recital, he was also excited.

Xu Da won such a big victory, which reassured both Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao.

What's more, Xu Da is now about to arrive in the waters of Fujian, which is more than twice as fast as Mao Xiang's estimated journey.

If time is in time, Xu Da is fully capable of arriving in the waters of Fujian and saving Deng Yu.
