Jingshi, He Li, the secretary of the military department, was full of joy, and hurriedly entered the palace with the good news he had just received.

In the Wuying Palace, He Li presented the good news with both hands and congratulated loudly: "Congratulations to Your Majesty!" The army of the Japanese army was successful, and the army led by the Marquis of Jiangdu successively broke through the palaces of Kyoto and Yoshino of the Japanese Kingdom, and captured all the Japanese kings who held the Ming Yuan and Dajue Temple! ”

Zhu Yuanzhang got up suddenly: "That kid really did it?" ”

"Yes, Your Majesty!" He Li replied respectfully.

After being confirmed, Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but look bright, although he had expected it, but at this time, he was extremely surprised to hear that Li Weizhen had done it.

At that moment, he no longer hesitated, hurriedly stepped forward to take the good news in He Li's hand, and looked at it carefully.

"Your Majesty, after the arrival of our army's baggage, the Marquis of Jiangdu immediately marched into the capital of the Wa Kingdom, after taking control of the city, the Marquis of Jiangdu used a new weapon, burning the city with fire, the Wa people hiding in the city were either burned to death, or were driven out of the house after being killed by the Ming army with muskets, only a few fled into the mountains and forests, after the war, the Marquis of Jiang Du found the Wa King in the ruins......"

Zhu Yuanzhang said while looking at He Li, and talked about Li Wei's great achievements in detail.

When Zhu Yuanzhang heard that Li Wei burned the city, he couldn't help but be shocked again, if he accidentally burned the king to death, it would also cause a lot of trouble.

Fortunately, this king of the Ming Dynasty escaped by burrowing into the ground.

After He Li finished speaking briefly, Zhu Yuanzhang carefully read the battle report from beginning to end.

Based on what Li Wei said above, now the Ming army has controlled all the royal families of the Wa Kingdom, and has found a name to suppress the rebellion, which not only controls the Wa Kingdom, but also occupies the name of righteousness.

Zhu Yuanzhang took a deep breath, and his face couldn't help but show joy: "Okay!" This kid did a good job, he didn't embarrass us! ”

He Li immediately followed the flattery: "Thanks to Your Majesty's discernment, I took a fancy to Jiangdu Hou at the beginning, and now the facts are as Your Majesty said at the beginning, Jiangdu Hou is really a genius who is rare in a thousand years, not only erudite and talented, but also wise and ......brave."

He Li followed Zhu Yuanzhang's words and praised violently, Li Wei is a colt anyway, no matter what he thinks, anyway, in the eyes of others, he is a member of the royal family, and now that he has made such a great contribution, it is natural to give Zhu Yuanzhang a long face.

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled, and listened to his praise and laughed constantly, and waved his hand after a long time: "Okay, okay, this stinky boy is not as good as you say." ”

He Li smiled, and the interest was stopping.

Zhu Yuanzhang paused for a moment before asking: "What do you think should be done about the disposition of the Wa King?" ”

When He Li heard this, he immediately replied: "Back to Your Majesty, although the Wa Kingdom has had it, if the king of the Wa Dynasty appoints another person, I am afraid that it will make the other vassal states frightened, and the minister thinks that it is better to escort the Wa King back to Beijing according to what the Marquis of Jiang Du said, so that he can confess his sins and repent, and at the same time, His Majesty can also choose one of them to be officially canonized to determine the relationship between the clan and the vassal." ”

He had already prepared for this matter, although Li Wei wrote two suggestions in the good news, but the first suggestion was definitely not good, although he was afraid of Jinyiwei and succumbed to Li Dang, but this kind of major event cannot be nonsense.

When Zhu Yuanzhang heard his answer, he nodded with satisfaction.

If He Li dared to flatter Li Wei without principle and chose the first suggestion, then he would definitely withdraw this Shangshu, or even go directly to prison!

"Okay, then let's act accordingly, and go back to your military department to draw up a specific charter."

"Yes!"

He Li didn't know that he almost lost his black gauze hat, so he responded respectfully.

Then Zhu Yuanzhang waved him down.

After he left, Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the battle report carefully, and couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion in his heart.

After his careful training in the past few years, this young man who fell in front of him from the future has finally grown into an important minister of the court who can take charge of himself, with his achievements this time, plus those past achievements, compared to Xu Da and Li Shanchang, these founding heroes, are not much worse.

When he comes back this time, I'm afraid I have to give him the title of Duke of the Kingdom, if he doesn't seal it, I'm afraid many soldiers in the army will not agree.

Thinking of this, Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help frowning again, it was still the same sentence, Li Wei was too young, and when he survived these founding ministers, no one would be able to restrain him, and he had to arrange some more opponents!

After a little thought, he thought of the most suitable person.

"It's time for him to return to Beijing......"

Zhu Yuanzhang muttered softly.

……

He Li left the palace and was about to return to the yamen of the military department, when he turned a corner and went to the head of the department not far away.

Last time, Li Wei wrote a book to take Kyoto directly, and very few people knew about it, but now that the overall situation has been decided, there is no need to keep it secret, and he must of course quickly inform all the "fellow parties" of such a happy event.

In charge of the division, Wang Jie was also pleasantly surprised when he learned of the great victory of the conquest.

Although Li Weili is a military merit this time, it has little to do with them, but Li Wei's power has been promoted, and they will definitely have the opportunity to follow in the future.

After Wang Jie learned about it, he immediately informed the others, and Yang Jing, Wu Shen and others quickly got the news, and everyone gathered together and praised them again and again.

"Hou Ye is really both civil and military, not only in terms of cultural governance, but also invincible in martial arts, and when Hou Ye comes back, he will definitely go further!"

"That's nature, how can you not reward the work of destroying the country, I think at least you have to be crowned a national prince!"

"Affirmative ......"

"Master Hou is really a genius, in just a few years, he is going to be a very human minister!"

"yes......"

Everyone praised and sighed, and had already booked the duke's seat for Li Wei.

In addition to a few of them, Ru Taisu and Wu Bozong also got the news.

Although they are relatively upright and don't want to form a party, when they hear the news, they have to sigh again and again, and they also agree with what Wang Jie and others said about sealing the public.

Chen Su, who was well-informed in Jinyiwei, learned the news one step earlier than them, and compared to these people, he was even more ecstatic!

If there is really a Li Party in the DPRK, then these craftsmen are the Li Party who is really loyal to Li Wei!

Li Wei can be a very popular minister, and they are the happiest!

It can be said that Li Wei is not only their benefactor, but also their dependence, without Li Wei, these craftsmen are still beaten and scolded every day, living a life of not enough food and clothing, let alone being an official.

And now, although the craftsmen in the Ordnance Bureau are still doing the lowest level of labor, the wages are rich enough for them to have food and clothing without worry.

And whenever Li Wei needs to employ people, he also gives priority to thinking of their craftsmen, as well as their children and grandchildren, the teaching of Minghuang College is not only free, but also a lunch, although only a hundred people are accepted now, but it will definitely be expanded in the future, their children and grandchildren of craftsmen have the opportunity to go in to study and learn skills, with Li Wei here, these students from Minghuang College will definitely be reused in the future!

"A very human minister, a very human minister!"

Chen Su muttered in a low voice while pacing back and forth in the room excitedly.

"No, that's not the limit!"

After a moment, he paused again, his eyes flashing dangerously.

The news of Li Wei's attack on Kyoto was deliberately spread by everyone, and it quickly spread among the ministers, and everyone who heard the news was shocked.

No one thought that this young Marquis of Jiangdu would officially take charge of the First Army for the first time, and he would directly make a contribution to destroying the country!

This is no ordinary feat.

Although the Wa Kingdom is small, it also depends on who it is compared with, and it lives far overseas, even the previously powerful Meng Yuan and the Goryeo alliance have not been able to do anything to people, and now Li Wei can destroy the country in a war, and his merits are catching up with the first hero Xu Da.

Although he has led the troops for a short time, and his accumulated military exploits are certainly far inferior to these veteran honors, in terms of the greatest merits, he can definitely be ranked at the forefront.

The ministers of the court and the central government talked a lot, and between the words, he was already listed with several state ministers, and everyone in the Li Party was full of smiles and looked honored, and others who did not belong to the Li Party were full of praise for him when they mentioned this matter, and their attitude was respectful.

Some people are not happy with them.

When Huang Bin, Fei Ju and other nobles heard the news, they first didn't believe it!

But soon Zhu Yuanzhang made the army's victory public, and they had no reason to doubt it.

Suddenly, all the martial nobles were shocked and inexplicable!

They are all battle-hardened generals, so they naturally understand how rare such a great achievement is, and even more aware of how difficult it is to go on an expedition to such a country to such a degree.

Although they did not deal with Li Wei, they had to admit Li Wei's merits in this battle.

After the news was confirmed, these nobles who had looked down on Li Wei in the past also fell silent, and even couldn't say a word of objection to Wenchen's attitude of juxtaposing him with several princes.

Sun Ke, who had a deep grudge against Li Wei, was even more in a heavy mood, with a face that was about to rush to the execution ground.

Li Shanchang, who lived in a simple house, heard the news, and even closed his door to discuss countermeasures with Wang Xing secretly.

In the past, he didn't take this favored minister in his eyes, he only regarded him as Yang Xian, Hu Weiyong and others, but now it is different, with such military exploits, even if His Majesty wants to move him, he has to think twice, just look at Zhu Yuanzhang's attitude towards their Huaixi Xungui.

Now he has to face up to this newly rising young man, and he can no longer be regarded as a simple pawn in the hands of His Majesty!

In the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, Tang He and Feng Sheng sat opposite each other, and they were also talking about the great victory of the conquest.

"It's really the back waves of the Yangtze River pushing the front waves, I didn't expect this young guy to be able to compare with us, an old thing who has fought all his life."

Feng Sheng said with some emotion.

Tang He smiled and sighed softly.

In fact, when he heard the news, he didn't feel too surprised except for emotion.

When he was in Kyushu, he had already seen the strength of Li Wei's firearms army, not to mention the Japanese who were already much worse than the Ming army's combat strength, even if he led the armies of other guards to fight against these armies that used firearms, I am afraid that there would be more losses than victories, unless several times the strength could make up for the gap.

"We are all old, and it is time to go back to our hometown to enjoy the blessings, let these young people fight."

Tang He said with a smile.

He had already planned to resign, but he knew that His Majesty would not release him before the time came, so he didn't mention it.

But now it's different, Li Wei has become a trend, and there are several marquis who conquered Yunnan Xinfeng, and the military generals in the DPRK and China have shown a trend of alternating the old with the new, maybe the time has come for him to resign.

Feng Sheng frowned slightly when he heard this.

He is different from Tang He, Tang He wants to quit the court, but he doesn't want to leave the army early.

After fighting all his life, he has become accustomed to this kind of golden iron horse days, and if he is allowed to be idle, he will not be able to bear the loneliness.

Tang He glanced at him, they were also old friends, and each other's hearts were self-evident, so they didn't say anything more.

The situation in the DPRK and China is changing, and the ministers have their own thoughts, while the situation in the Wa Kingdom is more complicated and chaotic.

Under Li Wei's instructions, Emperor Go-Komatsu had already removed Ashikaga Yoshimitsu from his post as shogun, and the Persian general Watayama Mitsuya had joined forces with Hosokawa Yoriyuki and sent people to ask for the title of the two emperors of Yoshino.

On the surface, they are asking the emperor for a seal, but in fact, they all understand that this is a request for a seal from the Ming army, and they are tantamount to surrendering to the Ming army.

In fact, there is nothing wrong with this, now that their own emperor has issued an edict, defining Ashikaga Yoshimitsu as a rebellious minister and thief, and the Ming army is a righteous army who is here to save them, so what can they say?

If you insist on resisting the Ming army, you will definitely be charged with the name of a rebellious minister and thief like Ashikaga Yoshimitsu, on the contrary, if you know each other, you may be able to get the righteous name of a shogun.

On the side of the Northern Dynasty, there is no Ashikaga Yoshimitsu, and Xuren, who has abdicated, is no longer hiding behind his son, and whenever there is a major event, he directly discusses with the Northern Dynasty Minister in person, although Nijo Yoshiji is dissatisfied, but he also knows that they are not yet superior to the Southern Dynasty, and it is better to have an adult emperor in charge than that child.

And the Southern Dynasty also changed the principal, the original Emperor Gokameyama and Ashikaga Yoshimitsu often had dealings, and now the Ming army will Ashikaga Yoshimitsu as a rebellious minister, this pro-Ashikaga Yoshimitsu Emperor is naturally no longer welcomed, and Emperor Chokei, who was forced to abdicate by him, also stood up.

The royal family has no family affection, although the emperor of the Wa Kingdom is just a puppet, and these royal families are also very happy.

However, they are also very knowledgeable, knowing that they are just puppets, so they do not dare to make decisions about the selection of the new shogun, and after receiving the request of the Persian righteous general and the Tianshan family, they found Li Wei for instructions.

When Li Wei heard what this shogun's name was, he couldn't help but pout.

These Japanese people, they are barbarians, and they also recruit the generals, and they recruit themselves?

After a little thought, Li Wei changed his name and asked them to give the Persian righteous general Hetianshan Manjia the title of general of Zhengdong and Zhengxi, which was originally what he had planned.

In the future, if there are other big names to surrender, you can also seal the generals of the south and the north, if there are any, then the name will be given again, anyway, they must not be allowed to dominate the family.

As for the shogun, Li Wei also gave a promise that whoever destroyed Ashikaga Yoshimitsu first would be crowned.

Through the understanding of the past few days, he also saw that this Ashikaga Yoshimitsu was not simple, this time not only expected him to attack Kyoto in advance, but also guessed the weakness of his lack of ammunition when he first arrived.

If it weren't for the fact that the two of them were afraid after the previous battle and didn't listen to his direct attack, I'm afraid it would really cause him a lot of trouble.

With the previous situation of the Wa Kingdom, if there was no intervention of the Ming army, I am afraid that in a few years, this Ashikaga Yoshimitsu would be able to destroy the Great Jue Zhitong and control the Wa State in one fell swoop.

In short, first induce these daimyo to attack Ashikaga Yoshimitsu with profit, destroy this potential scourge first, and then let the other daimyo fight to the death.

The Persian generals and the Hindayama family received the reward, and although they were a little disappointed that they could not replace the shogunate all at once, Li Wei also gave them hope.

Ashikaga Yoshimitsu is only a potential threat to Li Wei, but it is a big problem for them, even if Li Wei doesn't say it, they will do their best to destroy the Ashikaga clan. (End of chapter)
