Following.

After the morning court.

Zhu Yuanzhang returned directly to the Jinshen Palace, and at this moment, Zhu Zhang, the king of Qin, was already waiting in the palace.

Yesterday, Zhu Fan got a topographic map of the Wa Kingdom from Lin Che.

ran to Zhu Yuanzhang as soon as possible and informed him of the incident.

Zhu Yuanzhang was overjoyed, saw the topographic map, and then found a painter overnight, combined with the Daming coastal defense map, and sorted out Lin Che's sketch into a complete map.

Zhu Fan almost didn't sleep all night, and when his father was in the court, he came to the Jinshen Hall alone and studied the map carefully.

After going down, the father and son carefully studied the map, and at this moment, the eunuch Liu He came in to report.

Nakayama waits for the soup and the pilgrimage.

Zhu Yuanzhang put away the map and raised his hand:

"Xuan!"

Not for a while.

Under the guidance of the eunuch Liu He, Tang He walked quickly into the Jinshen Palace, followed by a young general with a strong figure and a heroic appearance.

Walking to the imperial case, Tang He bowed to the young general.

"Dingchen, please, who is this young man?"

Zhu Yuanzhang raised his hand and motioned for Tang He to get up and speak.

Tang He was in good order, and gave Zhu Yuanzhang a salute before getting up.

The young general continued to kneel on the ground.

Tang He stood up and replied to Zhu Yuanzhang:

"This is our deputy general Hu Yunqiang, the second son of the late Yue Guo Gong Hu Dahai, this time His Majesty summoned him, and the minister thought that it was a matter of going out to the Wa Kingdom, so he specially brought him here."

When Zhu Yuanzhang heard that he was the son of Hu Dahai, he was suddenly a little excited and stood up:

"It turned out to be Tongpu's children, and they all became deputy generals in the army, amazing, amazing!"

Hu Yunqiang knelt on the ground and kowtowed:

"Minister Hu Yunqiang, thank you for your majesty's praise!"

Zhu Yuanzhang made Hu Yun strong, and looked at the heroic general and praised it again.

Then.

Tang He on the side asked respectfully:

"Dare to ask Your Majesty if the summons of the ministers are coming, is the matter of the conquest in advance?"

When Zhu Yuanzhang heard Tang He's tone, he couldn't hide his excitement.

I nodded secretly in my heart, and my confidence in the conquest of the Japanese increased by another point.

But he didn't answer, but asked Liu He to take out the topographical chart of the Wa Kingdom that Zhu Fan brought back and handed it to Tang He.

"What is this?"

Tang He looked at the unfamiliar chart in surprise, and seriously showed a trace of doubt.

No way, now the generals of the Ming Dynasty.

The eyes were all focused on the body of the Northern Expedition pseudo-yuan.

The maps drawn by the army are basically in the Mobei area.

At most, add southern Xinjiang, and it is already a long-term vision.

Even if you can draw a sea chart, you can't find one.

Not to mention the topographical charts of the Wa Kingdom far away in the ocean.

"This map is a map of the country of Wa."

Zhu Yuanzhang didn't wait for Tang and guessed, and gave the answer directly.

Then he asked in a serious tone:

"Dingchen, let's ask you to follow the map and explore the Zodo Island and Honshu Island marked on the map."

"Record the hydrological features along the way, and the armament and ... Specialty! ”

"You can send an advance team to leave tomorrow, who are you going to put on this important mission?"

Zhu Yuanzhang asked, and glanced at Hu Yunqiang who was standing aside.

Since Tang He brought him here, I am afraid that he has always entrusted this young man with a heavy responsibility.

It was still Tang He who was thoughtful, and before he could say it, he vaguely guessed his intentions.

It's just that this time, the two islands that the advance team went to are the locations of the gold and silver mountains of the Japanese Kingdom.

Once the advance team, so greedy, took the gold and silver mine income for themselves.

And in case the advance army fights with the Japanese and there are soft bones who are captured, tell the purpose of the trip.

At that time, I am afraid that the Japanese slaves will raise the whole country's troops to fight against the great soldiers.

After losing the opportunity to take the island by surprise and occupy the gold mountain silver island.

Daming wants to take Zuodo Island and Honshu Island, God knows how many lives it will take.

Therefore, it is necessary to be led by a general who is absolutely loyal.

Hu Yunqiang is the son of the late Yue Guogong Hu Dahai, and there should be no problem in terms of loyalty.

Really.

Tang He bowed and replied:

"The minister is going to send General Hu to be the commander of this advance team."

"Although General Hu is young, he has fought many battles with the Japanese along the coast of Fujian and Zhejiang, and has rich experience, please rest assured of this."

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded.

Just when Tang He was talking to Zhu Yuanzhang, Hu Yunqiang was a little blindsided on the side!

Before coming, Tang He had already told him that he was going to send him to the front line in Fujian and Zhejiang to clear out the Japanese invaders, and then serve as the vanguard of the expedition against the Japanese state.

Hu Yunqiang was very surprised, His Majesty had such a deep understanding of the topography and hydrology of the Unu Islands.

After listening to Zhu Yuanzhang's order, he realized that he was originally the vanguard of the expedition to the Japanese state, but how did he become a scout who wanted to go deep into the hinterland of the Japanese slaves?

However, Hu Yunqiang has accepted the idea of loyalty since he was a child.

Even though he had doubts in his heart, he immediately knelt down and accepted the order.

"The minister will definitely find out the details of Zodo Island and Honshu Island for Your Majesty."

"If there is an opportunity, I will occupy these two places for Your Majesty, and the soldiers of the Japanese slaves will fight for it."

Obviously.

Hu Yunqiang didn't know the inside story.

Mistaken for Zodu and Honshu Island, it was regarded as a dangerous place for Japanese slaves.

Zhu Yuanzhang only told Tang He and other confidants about these top secrets, and a deputy general like Hu Yunqiang still can't get access to these core secrets.

It's just that Hu Yunqiang is after receiving the order.

Cautiously asked again:

"Dare to ask Your Majesty, will the matter of cleaning up the coastal pirates be put on hold for the time being?"

Regarding Hu Yunqiang's words, Tang He was also curious.

However, as Zhu Yuanzhang's hardcore confidant, His Majesty will never ask if he doesn't say it.

At the same time, he also knows Hu Yunqiang's true thoughts.

This time, let him serve as a scout team to investigate the Japanese slaves, and when he attacks the Japanese kingdom in the future, will he not have the opportunity to serve as a striker?

Tang He was about to scold.

was stopped by Zhu Yuanzhang.

Zhu Yuanzhang, who has fought countless battles, knows very well what the young general in front of him is thinking.

He smiled faintly and said:

"The importance of exploring the two islands of Zodo and Honshu is temporarily ranked above the clearing of coastal pirates."

"As long as you do this, it will be a great achievement equal to that of the vanguard to break the enemy!"

"In the future, you will still be my vanguard!"

Hu Yunqiang was instantly overjoyed.

You must know that although the pioneer accumulates meritorious service quickly, the death rate is not low.

Now just as a scout, you can remember the vanguard to defeat the enemy.

It can be said that it is the credit of picking it up for nothing.

Although Hu Yunqiang knows that the sea is dangerous.

But he is the second son of the Hu family, and the title and property of the family are not his share.

If you can't seize the opportunity to build merit.

I can't say, I will be kicked out of the house by my aunt one day!

After thanking Zhu Yuanzhang again.

Zhu Yuanzhang and Tang He explained some things again.

Tang He left the palace with Hu Yunqiang in a hurry.

didn't notice it at all, Zhu Fan looked at his back with envy.

Zhu Yuanzhang found that his son, who had always been martial, looked at him.

He just shook his head and smiled, but didn't say much.

Instead, he continued to deal with government affairs.

Father and son are like this, one is reviewing the folds, and the other is racking his brains to think about how to participate in this operation.

When the time came to the evening, Zhu Yuanzhang was about to take Zhu Fan to the queen's palace for dinner.

At this time, Liu Hexing, the personal eunuch, rushed in.

Say hello to Zhu Yuanzhang:

"Congratulations, Your Majesty, the sweet potato seedlings you asked people to look for have been found by the people of the Governor's Mansion!"
