Now that the territory is getting bigger and bigger, how to divide the prince has really become a big problem.

The original princes couldn't count on it, Zhu Qiyu had a principle: except for the King Su, King Zhou, and King Min who had been released, only the princes of their own lineage would go to the frontier to build a vassal in the future.

In this way, at the end of the Ming Dynasty, even if the world was in turmoil and the imperial court lost control of the whole country, these vassal kings on the frontier would have the opportunity to reorganize the rivers and mountains.

Frontier vassal kings, give them a certain army and power. When the center is strong, they are not capable of rebellion. The center has collapsed, such as a Chongzhen or something, everyone will cross the sea with eight immortals and show their magical powers. It's better than letting the big clear pick up the leak.

Zhu Qiyu walked back home, turned his head and began to sleep.

I slept until the next morning, and when I woke up, I saw a large stack of papers on the coffee table.

Zhu Qiyu asked in a daze, "What is this for?" ”

Asa Xue replied, "Your sons and daughters have written poems, and some have copied words, so please ask your husband to check their homework." ”

Hearing this, Zhu Qiyu scratched his head: "Is there any deep meaning to this, why did you suddenly think of me and ask me to check my homework?" ”

Qianxue smiled: "Fu Junguang pays attention to the boss, and others think you are biased." ”

Zhu Qiyu was a little helpless when he heard this: "It's not that I want to be partial, I really can't pay attention to it." Zhu Wenfang is the crown prince, so it won't work if you don't pay attention to it.

The other 20 or so children, all of them are concerned, and I can't stand it. Pick a few excellent attentions, wouldn't that be more biased and offend people? ”

While speaking, while carefully looking at the poems excerpted by the princes and princesses, Zhu Qiyu nodded again and again: "The writing is very good, the pen and ink are waiting, I will give them back one by one, and praise them all." ”

Qianxue said with a smile: "Generally, fathers want to suppress their children as much as possible, so that they can fear their fathers and be obedient in everything. It's good that you never even say anything heavy about them. ”

Zhu Qiyu smiled: "I'm not that kind of person, and I don't want to squeeze my children." There's no need, just settle their family business and let them be comfortable to be vassal kings. These princesses, give more money, more treasures, give them rich dowries, and let them live comfortably. ”

Ning Xiang asked: "Now that the weather is warm, the King of Han wants his husband to accompany him to ride a horse and shoot arrows, do you want to go?" ”

"Hey, just like me, I still ride a horse and shoot arrows, I only ride and shoot at home, and when I really get to the school field, it's nothing. It's not enough to let Liu Chang and the other real masters play with the princes, I just went up to show my timidity. ”

Ning Xiang persuaded: "Go, King Han, they just want to play with their husbands, and no one really wants you to be a magic archer." Besides, the slaves boasted about Haikou, saying that they would definitely be able to invite their husbands over. ”

"Hey, okay, where are we going to ride horses and shoot arrows?"

Ning Xiang replied with a smile: "Yingzhou Zhongwei University Campus, go to play in the morning, eat with the soldiers at noon, and take you to Siyuan to dig wild vegetables and fish in the afternoon." ”

Zhu Qiyu nodded thoughtfully: "Is it a picnic barbecue?" I know that. I am the one who serves, fishing for you and baking for you. ”

……

April 12th.

The Daming Navy's sweep of the Japanese Navy's division was basically completed, and the Karatsu Port on the west side of Hakata Port was captured.

Most of the Japanese warships were sunk, but those who could be saved by the soldiers were saved. Chen Mingde built a makeshift camp in Tangjin and enclosed more than 13,000 prisoners of war.

These are all good miners, and they are reluctant to drown them in vain.

It is definitely not possible to move the people of the Ming Dynasty to work as miners and coolies, which is not dignified and benevolent.

So, the more prisoners of war, the better.

The Ming army rested for a while, and on April 15, the troops were divided into two routes, one with the main force of the naval division, and attacked the port of Hakata from the sea. The other route marched eastward by land, pulling the guns removed from the warships to storm the fortifications of Hakata Port.

The headquarters of Yue Zheng, who had been stationed in the southeast of Hakata Port for many days, partly launched an attack on the defenders of Hakata Port, and partly guarded the main road to prevent the Japanese from escaping.

The already demoralized more than 20,000 Japanese troops faced the simultaneous artillery bombardment of land and sea, and soon their mentality collapsed.

It doesn't matter if Karasuma is running, there is no one to command the unified surrender, and more than 20,000 Japanese troops scattered in a hurry, and they are all over the mountains and fields, and they can't be caught.

The Ming Army's naval division and the Baoding Zhongwei led by Yue Zheng and Zhang Ying finally met together.

Chen Mingde asked: "These Japanese criminals are running everywhere, can we catch them?" If you want to catch it, you have to go deep into the mountains again. The heavily armored soldiers were not yet able to enter the mountain. ”

Yue Zheng shook his head: "Forget it, just take Hakata Port." The two major trading ports of Hakata Port and Sakai Port are now under our control, and the overall situation is decided. ”

Chen Mingde asked, "Then what should I do next?" ”

Yue Zheng said with a smile: "Divide a ship and transport supplies to Kaga." Divide another batch of warships to replace Huang Song.

Then let Huang Song lead the Guangdong sailors to hurry back to the south. Xu Youzhen has urged the saint many times, and he is almost anxious.

Without the support of the Guangdong Naval Division, the Guang'an Southern Naval Division would not be able to defeat the Majapahit Boyi.

There is nothing else, and in the future, the sailor will be mainly responsible for transporting supplies and fighting the Japanese invaders. The decisive battle with the Muromachi shogunate mainly relied on the Kyoei Guard. ”

Before Chen Mingde could nod, Yue Zheng added: "Oh, the most important thing has not been said, there are a large number of craftsmen and supplies on Jeju Island, you have to send ships to transport them to Sado Island further north of Kaga, and even the prisoners of war have to be transported."

Sado Island has been laid down before, and the next thing is to mine on it. ”

Chen Mingde asked curiously: "How to dig?" ”

Yue Zheng replied: "There are already mines on Sado Island, and the saint said that the minerals on this island are far from being fully explored, and there is still great potential.

Besides, in the past, the Japanese were not good at prospecting and smelting technology, and if they only had mines, they could not increase their output, and they were also a tyrannical thing.

Now the prisoners of war are doing coolie mining, and our craftsmen of the Ming Dynasty are responsible for smelting.

Shengshang estimated that these minerals in Japan would increase the income of five million taels of silver to the imperial court every year, and the gold mines would be counted separately. Do a good job, we're going to make a big contribution. ”

Although the emperor's statement had already been spread all over the world, Chen Mingde still didn't believe it, and pulled Yue Zheng and asked quietly: "Is there really so much silver in Japan?" ”

Yue Zheng replied: "That is natural, otherwise, why would the Holy Lord have to be obsessed with conquering Japan." Aside from the gold and silver mines, is there anything else in Japan that would attract the Holy Lord?

Although there are many people in Japan, it is not convenient to look at these mountains in Japan, and it is inconvenient to go anywhere, and ruling these seven or eight million people can exhaust people to death.

If there were no gold and silver mines, who would have nothing to do to fight Japan. ”

Chen Mingde nodded understandingly, leaving Yue Zheng to clean up the aftermath, and he organized the main force of the water division to go to Jeju Island.

On the same day, Sakai Port.

Ahn Kok Gong Seo Hyung has received the news that Jeju Island has eliminated the main force of the Japanese naval division.

Xu Heng was relieved and breathed a long sigh of relief. Finally tricked the Japanese sailors out of Hakata Port, and then the soldiers made a dangerous move, raided and intercepted, no matter what, it finally succeeded.

The most difficult part of this battle is the transportation of materials. Now that Hakata Port and Sakai Port have fallen into the hands of the Ming army, it can be said that the overall situation has been decided.
