Zhu Yuanzhang said bluntly: "Biao'er, it seems that you let your second brother follow Wei Guogong on purpose." ”

Zhu Biao said with a smile: "Let the second brother have more contact in front of Wei Guogong and behave well, and the marriage between the two of them will come naturally in the future!" ”

Zhu Yuanzhang glared angrily: "You little slippery head, how can you see that we want to give the eldest daughter of the Duke of Wei to the second child?" ”

He was also confused, and soon after this thought popped up in his heart, he was discovered by this eldest son.

Biao'er, really smart!

Zhu Biao smiled and replied: "Father, among the daughters of several heroes, there are only a few people who are worthy of the second brother. ”

"We're so happy you're so smart." Zhu Yuanzhang said with satisfaction.

Zhu Biao was about to say goodbye, but was stopped by Lao Zhu.

"Biao'er, take a look at this twist, how to deal with it." Zhu Yuanzhang took out a copy from the piled up like a mountain of recitals and handed it to Zhu Biao.

Zhu Biao respectfully took the fold and read it carefully, and suddenly his heart burst into endless anger.

There were local officials who played, and there were rebellions in Nanzhili, Shandong and other places.

Although these widows were short, like a ten-year-old child in the Ming Dynasty, they were brutal and bloodthirsty by nature, causing great harm to the coastal people.

At this time, the Ming Dynasty was established, like the rising sun, and Lao Zhu had not yet issued a ban on the sea.

According to the normal timeline, it was not until the 14th year of Hongwu that a very strict sea ban policy was issued, and it was strictly forbidden for the people to engage in sea trade.

Therefore, there is no smuggling trade today, so the Japanese who killed these days are not the kind of Japanese people who are the leaders of later generations, but the real Japanese who are really strong, and the real Oriental Xiaozi.

At this time, the Ming people didn't know what kind of bird the country was, and no one was interested in the place where the bird didn't.

However, Zhu Biao knew very well that the Wa Kingdom was in the era of the Northern and Southern Dynasties, and was in a civil war, and the reason for the ban on the sea led to a sharp rise in prices, and countless martial arts went to sea because of their poor lives.

It is also because in the Jiangsu and Zhejiang areas of the Ming Dynasty, the handicraft industry is developed, and a large number of raw silk is produced every year. Once these raw silks are transported to the Wa Kingdom, they can reach ten times the profit, in addition to iron, pots, cloth, tea and medicinal herbs, etc.

Therefore, the wandering samurai and pirates of the Wa Kingdom, who were stimulated by huge profits, gradually turned into looting from the beginning of the purchase transaction.

From the initial robbery of merchant ships to the later robbery of logins, all kinds of evil were done.

The coastline of the Ming Dynasty is too long, and there is no strong navy. In the era when communication was basically based on roaring, these pirates who came and went without a trace were like swarms of flies and mosquitoes on the lion's body, making people gnash their teeth but helpless.

In the future, I am afraid that this situation will become more and more serious.

"What does Father think?" After Zhu Biao came back to his senses, he asked.

Zhu Yuanzhang said angrily: "There is a sea between the Wa Kingdom and my Ming Dynasty, and it is not easy to send troops on an expedition, and the lessons of the former Yuan are vivid." Therefore, we want to send envoys to carry letters of state to the Wa Kingdom, so that they can take more care of the people in the country. ”

Lao Zhu, aren't you giving the other party a head?

Zhu Biao thought speechlessly.

"Father, how can such an uncivilized barbarian country be regarded as a ceremonial state like the Ming Dynasty. If we cut off our envoys without saying a word, it will be a loss of face for the Ming Dynasty. Zhu Biao said with a serious face.

Zhu Yuanzhang straightened his back and retorted: "How is that possible, aren't they afraid of the thunderous wrath of the Ming Dynasty?" ”

"Father, you just said the lesson of the previous yuan, how can they not know ......" Zhu Biao shook his head and said, "Today's Ming Dynasty has no means to deal with them." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly lost his previous momentum.

The boss is right, even if the Ming Dynasty is the upper kingdom of the Celestial Empire, but there is no means to deal with it, the other party will not be afraid of you.

As for those corrupt Confucians who often say, use benevolence, righteousness and morality to influence those barbarians, Lao Zhu never believed those nonsense.

"That standard, what do you think should be done, is it true that the Xingbing army can't be defeated?" Zhu Yuanzhang threw this question to Zhu Biao.

"Today's great enemy is still the Northern Yuan, let Erchen think about it!"

Zhu Biao closed his eyes slightly and fell into deep thought.

He didn't want to plough the court and sweep the holes of the Wa country, and cut off its descendants.

No matter how great the hatred is, it must also take into account the current conditions of the guest officer.

The Northern Yuan Dynasty has always been the great enemy, and the Japanese are secondary, but this tone must be drawn.

Those barbarian countries must be made to understand that if they dare to provoke the dragon of the Ming Dynasty, they must pay a tenfold and hundredfold price.

Otherwise, once Lao Zhu implements the ban on the sea, he will wait until he becomes the emperor to open the sea, isn't he going to bear the name of unfilial piety?

"Father, although the sailors of the Ming Dynasty can't rush to the ocean to fight now, it shouldn't be a big problem in the coastal waters, right?" Zhu Biao asked.

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and said: "The Daming Navy Division has experienced a hundred battles, and there is no big problem in coastal operations. ”

"That's good." The corners of Zhu Biao's eyes wiped a fierce look, and continued, "Those Japanese people who crossed the ocean to come to my Ming Dynasty are actually on ordinary boats, and many people will die in the sea, after all, they are all outlaws. ”

"But our ordinary people can't deal with those outlaws, but the soldiers of the Ming can."

"Erchen has thought of some solutions!"

Zhu Yuanzhang asked curiously: "What way?" ”

"Fake for real! The Ming soldiers disguised themselves as villagers and blended into the village, and the Ming sailors also disguised themselves as merchant ships to lure the Japanese robbers. Zhu Biao said in a cold tone.

After thinking about it, Zhu Yuanzhang said with some uncertainty: "But how long the coastline of Daming is, and how many villages along the coast." ”

"Fiction and reality!" Zhu Biao said decisively, "The sailors of the Ming Dynasty are patrolling the coastal waters, and the Japanese will inevitably avoid it, which is false." We'll have some sailors dressed up as merchant ships, which will be our killer feature. ”

"But I have an opinion, no matter how precious the life of the Ming Sailor is, if the Japanese escape from the coastal sea, there is no need to risk death to follow."

The warships of the Ming Dynasty were equipped with various firearms, artillery, and bows and crossbows, which seemed to be ironclad giants in this era.

In the offshore sea of this era, the Daming Sailor is invincible in the world.

However, once you reach the open sea, the wind and waves are unforgiving, and it is difficult to predict.

"The same is true in coastal areas, where heavy guards are set up in densely populated areas so that the pirates dare not log in, and then in some villages, they dress up as villagers in units of 50 people and a general flag, and deliberately reveal some silk and cloth to lure the pirates." Zhu Biao said solemnly.

Zhu Yuanzhang thought for a while and asked, "I don't know what those would-be robbers are thinking about, and whether they will find out about these deployments." ”

Zhu Biao nodded his head and said with a smile: "Those Japanese are down-and-out warriors, not those upper-class people of the Japanese Kingdom, they are very impulsive!" Father, you can compare the quality of those low-level soldiers in the rebel army back then, the Japanese are not as good as them! ”
