Zhu Yuanzhang, who was reprimanding Hu Weiyong, heard a shout of victory outside the door as soon as he spoke.

Zhu Yuanzhang's spirit was shocked, and his eyes turned directly from Hu Weiyong's body to the outside of the palace and looked at the door.

Before long, a herald covered in dust and a weather-covered face rushed in through the door.

"Great victory, the battle of Fuzhou City, Xu Da, the Duke of Wei, united with Deng Yu and Li Jin, under the city of Fuzhou, to break the pirates."

"More than 100,000 pirates were wiped out, and countless people were killed."

Zhu Yuanzhang's face showed ecstasy, and he directly slapped the case, shouting:

"Okay, Xu Da has lived up to our expectations of him."

Hu Weiyong and Zhu Biao in the palace were stunned when they heard the battle report at this moment, and they were stunned by Xu Da's amazing achievements.

The little eunuch beside him hurriedly presented the fold in the herald's hand to Zhu Yuanzhang.

Picking up the fold, Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't wait to browse it, wanting to see how Xu Da used more than 17,000 people to break the pirates' army of 100,000.

Zhu Biao stood aside, also tilting his head, looking towards the fold.

After Zhu Yuanzhang finished reading it, he was overjoyed.

Pretty, just so beautiful.

It can be said that Xu Da's operation perfectly achieved Zhu Yuanzhang's strategic purpose.

Not only swept away the army of more than 100,000 pirates in one fell swoop, but even the pirate leader, Chen Zuyi, was shot to death.

From now on, the waters of the South China Sea in the Liangguang region will be clear and will no longer be harassed by pirates.

The pirates and pirates in Fujian were all wiped out by Li Jin and his people.

The Pinghu camp can be said to be a perfect naval base, and Zhu Yuanzhang keenly discovered this little episode in the twists and turns.

After Li Jin suggested that he capture the Pinghu camp, Xu Da went south this time and was basically in an invincible position.

Pinghu Daying is isolated overseas, but it is the most critical island in Fujian waters.

It is bordered by Fujian and Zhejiang in the north, the South China Sea in the south, and the Liangguang region.

It can be said that if the sea is to be opened in the future, all merchant ships that want to trade with the South Seas will pass through this area.

Li Jin suggested that Xu Da attack the Pinghu camp, which can be described as beating snakes to more than seven inches.

Then Xu Da's lure the enemy deeper, and the plan to burn the city with fire was even more desperate, annihilating 100,000 pirates in one fell swoop, and he almost didn't spend a single soldier.

Of course, Zhu Yuanzhang's effect on the large-scale use of artillery on the battlefield for the first time was also very shocking.

A whole 10,000 pirates, under the baptism of artillery, did not survive a cup of tea at all.

Such a terrifying lethality deserves to be called the god of war.

Zhu Yuanzhang agreed with Li Jin's evaluation very much, and felt that artillery was the evaluation of the god of war, which was very pertinent.

At the end, Xu Da summarized the battle.

The Ming army killed 103,000 pirates and captured more than 17,000 pirates.

Most of these pirates were pirates who escaped by hiding in wells or creeks in the city.

After seeing the Ming army pressing the border, these pirates did not regard death as if they were at home, as Chen Zuyi did, but directly chose to surrender.

After all, they had been hungry for two days, even if they wanted to fight the Ming army, they couldn't muster their strength.

"Well, that's great!!"

After Zhu Yuanzhang read it, he exclaimed in his mouth, he originally planned to hold a funeral for Deng Yu, but he didn't expect it to turn around now.

Xu Da not only saved Deng Yu, but also killed Zhu Yuanzhang's henchman Chen Zuyi.

Even the 100,000 pirates under Chen Zuyi's command will all be wiped out, which can be described as an outstanding achievement.

Zhu Biao followed Zhu Yuanzhang and watched the folds all over the time, and he was also very happy in his heart.

However, thinking that there were still hundreds of thousands of homeless people in Fuzhou, Zhu Biao was still a little unbearable, and said to Zhu Yuanzhang:

"Father, the city of Fuzhou is now burned down by fire, and the people are displaced."

"Erchen thinks that he should allocate money and silver to Fuzhou and let the Fuzhou prefect build houses for the people."

Speaking of the prefect of Fuzhou, Zhu Yuanzhang's expression was not very good-looking, and he snorted coldly:

"Qian Yu, the prefect of Fuzhou, had fled back to his hometown in Zhejiang the day before the pirates besieged the city."

Zhu Biao was stunned, but as if he had thought of something, he continued to admonish:

"In that case, it's better to let Li Jin stay in the local area as the prefect."

"Li Jin has the ability to govern the government, let him act as the prefect of Fuzhou, presumably it will not take a few years for Fuzhou to return to its former prosperity."

Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes lit up when he heard this, but in the end, Zhu Yuanzhang shook his head and refused:

"Li Jin can't leave Shanghu County yet, he has more important things to do."

Zhu Biao didn't know why, and he didn't know what Zhu Yuanzhang's so-called more important things meant.

Zhu Yuanzhang didn't explain, but looked at Hu Weiyong and said:

"Wei Yong, there is a way to build a highway."

Hu Weiyong had been keeping his head down, listening to Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao discussing the affairs of Fuzhou, and he felt that the affairs of Fuzhou had nothing to do with him.

After all, as long as you honestly repair the highway, then everything will be fine, and the promotion will be smooth.

Now after hearing Zhu Yuanzhang's words, he couldn't help but look at Zhu Yuanzhang with puzzled eyes.

Zhu Yuanzhang didn't talk nonsense, but just threw the fold to Hu Weiyong and asked Hu Weiyong to take a good look.

Hu Weiyong picked up the fold and watched it carefully word by word from beginning to end, for fear of missing a word.

After reading the last sentence, Hu Weiyong only felt deeply shocked, not only shocked by Xu Da's 10,000 and 100,000, but more importantly, Zhu Yuanzhang was already doing such a big thing behind his back.

Sea!! Navy!! Exterminate the Wakos!!

Hu Weiyong didn't expect that a few days ago, the boiling news in the capital that Shanghu County was going to sea turned out to be true.

And looking at this matter now, the driving force behind it is Zhu Yuanzhang.

Li Jin is just a pawn, and the real boss is the current emperor, Zhu Yuanzhang.

Although I don't understand why Zhu Yuanzhang changed his mind and wanted to go to sea, judging from this report, Zhu Yuanzhang's plan to go to sea has basically been completed.

Not to mention anything else, Shanghu County has secretly built a naval fleet that is enough to sweep away the Japanese invaders, and this alone shows that Zhu Yuanzhang has long begun to plan and implement the matter of going to sea.

But Hu Weiyong and Li Shanchang didn't know anything about it, they thought they were Zhu Yuanzhang's number one confidants before, and now it seems that they don't know a lot of things.

This made Hu Weiyong break out in a cold sweat behind his back.

The report said that the Ming army led a naval fleet to sweep away the Japanese pirates in Zhejiang, as well as the largest pirate gang in the south, and now all preparations for going to sea have been completed.

In this way, Zhu Yuanzhang no longer intends to hide it, and will announce the lifting of the sea ban at a later date.

Thinking of this, Hu Weiyong couldn't help but swallow his saliva.

If this is the case, then their Huaixi Group is already one step behind.

Going to sea has been a big deal since ancient times, and if they can take the lead in opening the sea, then they Huaixi Group may be able to expand with this.

Thinking of this, Hu Weiyong actually began to think about how to take the lead in opening the sea.

"Weiyong, what are you thinking? Let's let you see the folds, can you see it? ”

Zhu Yuanzhang saw that Hu Weiyong didn't react after watching the music for a long time, so he couldn't help but ask questions.

Hu Weiyong was awakened by Zhu Yuanzhang, pulled back to reality, and hurriedly bowed down and replied:

"The minister understands, the emperor wants to say that now the Duke of Wei has captured so many pirates, and these pirates can be used as slaves to help the minister build the highway."

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded with satisfaction, I have to say that Hu Weiyong's mind is still bright, and talking to smart people is to save energy.

But Zhu Yuanzhang's purpose of letting Hu Weiyong see this letter is not so simple.

Next, Zhu Yuanzhang continued to ask with deep meaning:

"Wei Yong, now that we want to open the sea again, what do you think?"

Hu Weiyong thought to himself, here it is.

He had long known that Zhu Yuanzhang would definitely ask about this, but fortunately, Hu Weiyong had already thought of a rhetoric in his heart.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks it's impossible."

Hu Weiyong refused directly, but this sentence made Zhu Yuanzhang stunned, thinking that Hu Weiyong didn't understand what he meant?

But Hu Weiyong's next words really surprised Zhu Yuanzhang, and he looked at Hu Weiyong even more.
