Chapter 493: Swaggering
"Don't get on your knees at every turn!"
Zhu Yuanzhang pulled Chen Hu up again, and asked again: "The injury on your arm, but you fell when you hit the fireboat?" ”
Originally, this was just Zhu Yuanzhang's question to win people's hearts at will.
However, Chen Hu's answer made the smile on his face suddenly turn into a dark cloud.
I only heard Chen Hu shake his head: "Avoid it, the ministers and others hit the Japanese slave fire ship, except for the damage to the bow of the treasure ship they are on, any damage to the soldiers." ”
"However, when the ministers changed to a new warship and were about to return to the mainland, they encountered a Japanese slave ship at sea and sea."
"Although the number of the other party is large, but fortunately, the wolf is still good on the ship, and the ministers are only slightly injured."
"If it weren't for the fact that these wouldn't have hit a big hole in the side of the ship while the courtier's ship was turning, none of them would have thought of escaping."
They were also lucky to be the slaves who hit the boat they used, and the bow was relatively high.
Just close to the deck, a hole was knocked out.
Otherwise, all the advance soldiers on the ship would probably be fed to the bottom of the sea.
"What a Japanese slave, the war is burning at home, and you dare to come to my Ming Dynasty to plunder."
Zhu Yuanzhang snorted heavily, but he turned around and swept around, gathering the ministers on the beach.
Some courtiers who had ghosts in their hearts couldn't help but subconsciously shrink their necks when they heard Zhu Yuanzhang's words.
Zhu Yuanzhang has long had a countermeasure to clean up these guys who eat inside and out.
So I didn't pay attention to those who didn't confess to themselves.
He praised Chen Hu and the other returning advance soldiers a few words.
So he called the lieutenant and asked them to carry three boxes of gold and walk towards the imperial city like a swagger.
As for the advance sergeants, Zhu Yuanzhang arranged for them to go to the Tai Hospital for treatment, and they would be sent over after the commendation.
Chen Hu is naturally grateful for this.
However, some people have heard of the imperial doctors of Tai Hospital, and the treatment methods are not as good as those of the soldiers in the Jianghu Lang.
But they were reluctant to let the quack doctors help them heal their wounds.
They all found excuses to take leave from Chen Hu and went to find Lang Zhong who they knew well.
And the people who gathered around the pier to watch the excitement.
Seeing the captain carrying the gold, he couldn't help whispering for a while.
"Haven't all the goods brought back by Tang Guogong just now been shipped away, where did all this gold come from?"
"Didn't you see the wrecked ship? The gold was brought down from the ship. ”
"Alas, I seem to have seen this ship, isn't this the same boat that held bamboo and annihilated the Japanese army in Yingtian? How did it get ragged? ”
"Isn't it, those military masters went to the country of the Japanese to rob the Japanese slaves? This gold is the spoils of war? ”
Because Hu Yunqiang won more with less, the battle of annihilating more than 2,000 Japanese robbers was really beautiful.
In addition, Zhu Yuanzhang dragged all the captured Japanese robbers to Yingtian and beheaded them, which made many people living near the dock recall the flag of the advance fleet.
At this time, I heard someone say that the army with bamboo was likely to fight to the Wa Kingdom.
Suddenly, some people excitedly asked, "What you said is true?" I, Daming, finally took the initiative to clean up those slaves? ”
Many of the people who had suffered from the Japanese invaders also looked at the residents of the dock who had just spoken with expectant eyes.
However, this person is just a random guess, who knows what the advance army is doing.
But at this time, it would be humiliating to admit that you were talking nonsense.
So this person said nonsense: "Of course, my Ming Dynasty can even drive the invincible Northern Yuan back to the grassland." ”
"The slaves are just clowns jumping off the beam, and my Ming army can pinch them to death if they free their hands!"
Even if the residents of the dock said that the Ming Dynasty had begun to attack the Japanese slaves, there was no corroboration.
However, the onlookers couldn't help but cheer.
Many of them have heard rumors that the Japanese slaves are rampant and domineering in the Ming Dynasty.
Even some of the people's relatives died under the sword of the Japanese slaves.
Although they were not sure whether the news was true or false, when they heard someone say that the Ming Dynasty had finally avenged the people who died tragically at the hands of the Japanese invaders.
Everyone still couldn't help but kneel on the ground and shout long live in front of Zhu Yuanzhang's distant royal bowl.
A red-robed official who deliberately walked at the end heard the speculation of the people.
couldn't help but snort coldly and said: "It's all some people, don't you know that once the war starts, Your Majesty will raise taxes?" It will not be you who will suffer? ”
"Moreover, now that the remnants of the Northern Yuan have not been dealt with, His Majesty has used troops against the Japanese slaves, which is really mediocre..."
Before the red-robed official could finish complaining, he was covered by a green-robed official beside him.
The man glanced around and found that no one had heard the words of the red-robed official, and he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Then he persuaded him: "Now the docks are full of captains, and I ask my brother to be cautious." ”
"Now that the Duke of Xinguo has returned, the Ming Dynasty has no shortage of ships to expedition to the Wa Kingdom."
"Instead of wasting time complaining, brother should think about how to destroy the evidence of trade with the Japanese and dispose of those Japanese slaves."
The Qingpao officials are all heartfelt words for their family.
However.
The red-robed official felt that he had lost face by the green-robed official, and snorted again: "Now that I am the head of the family, what should I do, I have my own plan in my heart, and it is not your turn to intervene." ”
The green-robed official couldn't help but sigh when he heard this, but he didn't have the heart to speak anymore.
……
"You say, while the people were chatting, they actually guessed that we wanted to attack the Japanese kingdom?"
Zhu Yuanzhang, who was sitting in the imperial court, was reading the secret letter written by Hu Yunqiang and Vice General Liu brought back by Chen Hu.
Suddenly, when he heard what Mao Xiang hurriedly came to report, he couldn't help but show a playful smile.
Mao Xiang, who was trotting outside the royal palace, replied honestly: "Your Majesty, those people should have seen the flag hanging on the ship when Hu Yunqiang set out on the expedition. ”
"That's why I unexpectedly guessed that the advance army went to the Japanese country, and also regarded the gold and silver as the capture of my Ming Dynasty."
"Your Majesty, did you warn them not to talk nonsense? So as not to spoil your plans? ”
Zhu Yuanzhang categorically rejected Mao Xiang's suggestion.
He solemnly warned: "Let the people say about this matter, if you dare to do anything behind our backs, don't come to see us again." ”
The imperial court of the Wa Kingdom had already sent troops to Tsushima Island.
There is no point in sending the advance army to conquer the Japanese kingdom, and it is meaningless to cover it up.
Anyway, soon after, the Ming Dynasty will officially send a large army to the Wa State.
This matter spread in advance, but it was able to boost the morale of the Ming soldiers.
Mao Xiang was so frightened by Zhu Yuanzhang's words that he fell to his knees directly.
Frightened, he said: "Your Majesty, you have officially tormented the minister, how dare the minister do things that should not be done behind your back." ”
