Chapter 426: A Threat from the West! The Ming Navy is nothing more than that?
However, just as the two sides wrestled with each other.
A sudden news reached the Daming Jingshi, and it was as if a drop of water had been dripped into the king's boiling pot.
Suddenly exploded!
An unprecedented atmosphere spread within the scope of the Daming Jingshi.
It turned out that not long ago, Zheng He led the main force of the Ming Navy to the Wa Kingdom, preparing to clean up the Wa State that had not been very obedient recently.
So the Nanyang battlefield was taken over by Xu Huizu.
But I didn't expect that not long after taking over, I actually suffered a big loss.
A group of ships from the Western Ocean took advantage of the huge wind and waves and deep fog to unexpectedly board the ships of the Ming Navy and take them down.
Captured a ship of the Ming Navy!
Although this loss is not large, compare the ships of the Ming Navy.
But on the face, it's not good!
Palace.
Fengtian Temple.
Zhu Yunxi angrily threw the fold to the ground.
"Rubbish! What a waste of a waste! ”
"Give him the best equipment, the best soldiers, the best treatment, it's just a group of barbarians rowing in small boats, and he will fail!"
"Call Xu Huizu back to Beijing immediately!"
"Lone should ask him carefully and see what the hell is going on! My dignified navy can't defeat the barbarians in the west? ”
"It's shameful!"
Zhu Yunxi was really angry to the extreme, although this failure did not mean that the Ming Navy was really not good.
Even the other party itself is because of the time of occupation.
There is an opportunity to take advantage of it, and the luck factor occupies too much, which is simply not enough to compare the combat power of the two sides.
Zhu Yunxi believed that on the frontal battlefield, the Ming Navy would definitely be able to crush these fleets from the Western Ocean.
But this defeat is more like an undefeated image created by the Ming Navy, a head-on blow!
That's why Zhu Yunxi is so angry!
It's just that after calming down, Zhu Yunxi regained his calm, after all, in this world, where is there an army that is always victorious and undefeated?
Not to mention, naval battles are inherently unexpected.
With the current level of technology of the Ming Dynasty, it is impossible to defeat the wind and waves, and it is impossible to eliminate the sight obstruction caused by the fog.
As long as the navy of the Ming Dynasty remains undefeated on the frontal battlefield.
That's enough.
Merely...... This big and small defeat set off earth-shattering waves among the Beijing divisions, and even Zhu Yunxi had to deal with it in a high-profile manner.
so as to give an explanation to the people of Jingshi.
After all, in the hearts of the people of Daming Jingshi now, the invincible image of Daming must not be broken!
But what Zhu Yunxi didn't expect was that it was just a small victory, but it spread among the countries around the Ming Dynasty, and it spread and spread, and it turned into a heavy blow to the Ming Navy!
The countries around the Ming Dynasty began to jump, especially the Khmer Empire and the Srivijaya near the Indian Ocean region.
They have begun to take advantage of this opportunity to unite and plan to blockade the Ming sea ships and throw them into the arms of Westerners.
In order to fight against the Ming Dynasty.
How can Zhu Yunxi not be angry?
If it weren't for the fact that they couldn't get rid of their hands now, Zhu Yunxi would immediately want them to see and understand, the Ming Navy is powerful!
Come and touch it head-on, and you will know whether the Ming Navy is strong or weak!
Soon.
Xu Huizu was recalled to Jingshi.
All the people of Beijing learned about Xu Huizu's return to Beijing.
On the streets of Kyoshi.
One by one, the people of the Ming Dynasty shouted angrily, demanding that Xu Huizu be severely punished!
…………………………
Xufu.
"Eldest sister, you can persuade the third sister then!"
"It's just a small defeat, no, it's not even a defeat!"
"You can't fold the big brother into it because of this!"
"The third sister is the future queen, and she has a deep relationship with His Royal Highness the Grand Sun, so she will definitely be able to persuade her!"
Xu Zengshou's face was anxious.
As the youngest man in the Xu Mansion, all he can do now is to do everything he can to help his eldest brother, after all, if the eldest brother falls, then the glory of the Xu Mansion will completely fall!
Glory and wealth do not say.
The glory accumulated by our fathers must not be lost in their generation!
And all of this lies in Xu Miaojin!
Because she is the only one who can persuade Zhu Yunxi, and she is the only one who can help Xu Huizu get rid of his crimes.
But it doesn't work.
Even though Xu Zengshou wore out his mouth, Xu Miaojin never let go, and was unwilling to care about Xu Huizu anything.
"Longevity, you don't understand."
"It is precisely because your third sister is the future queen that she can't speak!"
Although Xu Miaoyun was also full of anxiety.
But he still kept calm and analyzed: "As long as Miaojin's grace is not lost, and there is a third sister in one day, then the Xu Mansion will not fall." ”
"But now act rashly."
"Maybe to keep your eldest brother safe for a while, or even continue to entrust him with important tasks."
"But the problem is, if the favor is exhausted, and the crime of interfering in the harem is added, our Xu family will not fall when the time comes, and it will really fall!"
"Instead of letting your third sister persuade His Royal Highness."
"Why don't I go back and talk to King Yan about this matter, I feel that there must be someone behind this matter."
"Otherwise, it would be impossible to let Jingshi make such a fuss!"
"This is a frame that His Royal Highness the Taisun must severely punish your eldest brother! Presumably, His Royal Highness Taisun must have a lot of dissatisfaction in his heart! ”
Xu Miaoyun is worthy of being Zhu Di's virtuous helper.
In three or two clicks, the situation will be analyzed clearly.
And Xu Miaojin on the side also nodded.
agreed: "That's right, now there is indeed a hidden force in the Jingshi, and then it wants to target my Xu family behind it!" ”
"No, it should be said that it is aimed at His Royal Highness Taisun!"
"The purpose is to weaken the power of His Royal Highness Taisun, and this opportunity is the opportunity for them to take the opportunity to cut off His Highness Taisun's big arm!"
"Naturally, they won't let it go!"
Zhu Yunxi's first two major supporting forces were none other than the lineage of Xu Da, the king of Zhongshan, and the Lanyu lineage of the Duke of Liangguo.
And this is also Zhu Yunxi's basic plate above the Ming Dynasty!
No matter what, the people of these two factions will spare no effort to support him!
And these two factions of men and horses both hold a large number of soldiers and horses!
Not to be underestimated!
Although Zhu Yunxi later developed many other forces, these forces may not be as loyal as they are to Zhu Yunxi!
Completely tied to the chariot!
So if you can take this opportunity to get rid of Xu Huizu, you can even let the entire Zhongshan King family decline.
That is undoubtedly a major weakening of Zhu Yunxi!
This method of gathering public opinion is almost no different from putting Zhu Yunxi on the fire!
"Then are we just looking at it empty?"
"Nothing?"
"It is precisely because of this that we can't let the enemy's tricks succeed!"
Xu Zengshou was a little puzzled.
The other siblings present were equally unconvinced.
"To do, of course to do things!"
"And it has to be a big event that shocks Jingshi!"
"If you don't take everyone's eyes away from a major event that shakes the Jingshi, then how can the eldest brother be saved?"
"The defeat of overseas certainly attracts attention."
"But if an earth-shattering event happens in the Jingshi, it will inevitably cause an even greater uproar!"
Xu Miaojin's words made Xu Zengshou feel uncertain.
Didn't His Royal Highness the Taisun urgently summon the eldest brother to Beijing? How is it possible that there is still time for meritorious service?
It's good not to be escorted to Jingshi!
Xu Miaoyun on the side saw Xu Zengshou's confusion and comforted: "Okay, Zengshou, there are some things, don't think about it if you can't figure it out." ”
"You just need to know anyway."
"Go directly to His Royal Highness Taisun for help, this is the worst idea!"
"What we should do is to help His Royal Highness Taisun solve the surging public opinion!"
"In this way, your eldest brother's matter is nothing more than a sentence from His Royal Highness Taisun!"
Xu Zengshou seems to understand whether he understands or not.
On the side, Xu Miaojin had already turned around and left.
She is going to do a big thing that will cause a sensation in Jingshi!
……………………
"Boom!"
Not long after Xu Miaojin left, a deafening voice resounded throughout the entire Jingshi!
Let all the people in the capital be shocked!
The sky-high fire ignited in the middle of the Jingshi!
"What's going on? Why is there such an explosion in the Kyoshi?! ”
"It's not clear...... But it seems that a group of officers and soldiers have just gone somewhere south of the city. ”
"Aggressive look."
For a while, the people of Jingshi were also a little panicked.
But soon, a thing that attracted far more attention than the defeat overseas spread among the Beijing division.
The powder magazine of the Technical Research and Manufacturing Bureau was stolen not long ago!
It was secretly transported to a courtyard in the south of the city to secretly make ammunition!
And when the officers and soldiers want to arrest the people inside.
The people inside ignited the explosives and burned the entire yard to the ground, blowing it all up, leaving no trace!
In the Jingshi, there is a news that there is a depot of explosives.
Immediately spread throughout the entire Jingshi! And frightened the people of the entire Jingshi!
It turns out that they are in danger all the time!
But they don't know it! And these people are hiding so much ammunition in the Ming Jingshi, what do they want to do?
Time.
In the entire Beijing Division, the wind and clouds are thundering!
In the palace.
His Royal Highness Taisun seems to be furious again, and ordered Dali Temple, the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and the Criminal Department to strictly review it!
Be sure to find out who these people really are!
So in the blink of an eye, the wind direction of the people of Daming Jingshi changed by 18,000 degrees, and the overseas defeat incident that was in a uproar not long ago was suddenly no longer mentioned.
The person who seems to be behind the scenes.
All disappeared and went into hiding...... The root cause is naturally because of Zhu Yunxi's strict investigation, so that these people dare not show traces again!
And while everyone is focusing on another thing.
Xu Huizu ...... Quietly entered Beijing.
………………
Palace.
The Imperial Study.
Zhu Yunxi's face was grim, and he looked at Xu Huizu who was kneeling on the ground below.
Full of hatred, he said: "Do you know that Miaojin almost blew up the Jingshi in order to save you?" ”
"I really didn't expect that my invincible navy could be defeated by the fleet of Westerners!"
"What else do you have to say?"
The reason why Xu Miaojin didn't find out sooner or later was that he found out when Xu Huizu was about to enter Beijing.
The purpose is to make it easy to uncover this matter.
Without the coercion of public opinion, Zhu Yunxi naturally wouldn't really do anything to Xu Huizu.
But in order to save Xu Huizu.
This time, Xu Miaojin paid a very heavy price, not only was he charged with unfavorable care, but he was impeached by the ministers of the DPRK and China, and the clues that Xu Miaojin had been tracking for a whole month were completely broken!
That's right, except for the Kaiji.
Xu Miaojin's Technology Research and Manufacturing Bureau also found thefts of varying degrees.
Some are self-stolen by artisans.
In some cases, the officials below colluded to sell guns and ammunition.
So Xu Miaojin also launched an investigation.
Finally discovered this extremely hidden ammunition depot!
But now, with that bang, all the hard work has turned into foam!
All the clues tracked down by Xu Miaojin are all broken!
And all this is to save Xu Huizu!
"Your Highness, if you are truly defeated by the enemy, I, Xu Huizu, will definitely have nothing to say!"
"But on that day, the fleet of Westerners also paid a great price!"
"Almost half of the losses! It was only by luck that my Ming Navy lost a ship! ”
"Your Highness! In any case, the minister is indeed defeated! ”
"But if His Highness can give his ministers another chance, he will definitely be able to lead the Ming Navy and be invincible!"
"Taking down the fleet of the Westerners is just a gesture!"
"What the minister really wants is to break the blockade of the Khmer Empire and the Srivijaya Kingdom! Incorporate a wider sea area into the territory of my Ming Dynasty! ”
"Please also ask Your Highness to give your ministers another chance!"
"If you are defeated again, the minister will come to see him!"
Although Xu Huizu was in disarray.
But the fighting spirit in his eyes is extremely high, and this failure is a wake-up call for him! But it is also a spur to him!
Let him always forget his original intention of making contributions!
"Good!"
"Lonely, I'll give you this chance!"
"You have to remember that this is only one chance!"
"There's no next time!"
"If you lose again next time, even if Xu Miaojin opens his mouth to save you, Lone will definitely not spare you!"
"Let's go down!"
Zhu Yunxi decided to give Xu Huizu a chance, not just because of Xu Miaojin.
It is also because Xu Huizu is a manufacturable material.
Even though he is not as talented as Zheng He, as long as he is well trained, he will be able to become an excellent admiral sooner or later, and he must not lose a general because of a defeat that is not a defeat.
And Xu Miaojin's actions actually came from Zhu Yunxi's instructions.
After all, Zhu Yunxi doesn't want to be held up by public opinion.
This time it was to kill Xu Huizu, so what about next time? Are you going to kill Lan Yu, kill Yang Shiqi, and kill Zhai Shan?!
Wouldn't all Zhu Yunxi's henchmen be killed!
How can Zhu Yunxi endure this?
So getting rid of their ammunition depot is the warning given by Zhu Yunxi! It is also a secret flag under Zhu Yunxi!
The ammunition depot has been blown up, and these rats lurking in the shadows are bound to run out of ammunition.
And the Bureau of Technology Research and Manufacturing is clearly out of play.
Then there is only one way left...... Zhai Shan's director of the sea division! And Zhu Yunxi's bureau that has been laid out a long time ago is already waiting for them here!
Merely......
These people are unusually cautious.
Zhu Yunxi wants to really catch the big fish behind him, but he is afraid that he will have to wait for a while.
