"It's not easy for our eldest grandson. The plague was suppressed so easily."
"I'm afraid it hasn't even been a month since Da Sun passed away."
After Zhu Yuanzhang read the information reported back by Jin Yiwei, he said to Jiang Wei with some sigh.
"Reporting to Your Majesty, there are still six days left in the month."
At this time, Jiang Wei would of course choose to say good things about Zhu Ying.
For now, there is basically no suspense about Zhu Ying's succession to the Ming Dynasty throne.
"What do the people on the other side of the plague think of Da Sun now?"
"Do they know Da Sun's current identity?"
Zhu Yuanzhang asked with interest.
You must know that this time, Da Sun almost saved hundreds of thousands of lives.
No large-scale plague in history has killed hundreds of thousands or hundreds of thousands.
Moreover, after the plague passed away this time, Zhu Yuanzhang specially sent people to investigate the situation in Europe.
The feedback he received was indeed the same as what Da Sun said. Although there were no real quantitative statistics, Zhu Yuanzhang was shocked by the horrific scene.
Even in the war at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, so many people did not die.
The plague was a massacre, with the population of a city dying within a few days.
"Your Majesty, the people who have survived the plague area in Henan are extremely grateful to His Highness King Yu. Most of them have placed His Royal Highness in their homes for immortality."
"Your Highness's move can truly be said to have immeasurable merit and countless lives."
Jiang Wei's tone was slightly excited. He was in the center of power in the Ming Dynasty. Although he had a military position, he had to understand it after he had been exposed to it a lot.
Now His Highness Changsun's prestige among the people will follow the fermentation of the plague, thus heating up the entire Ming Dynasty.
Tens of thousands of living Buddhas are not enough to describe the current His Highness Changsun.
And it is easy to guess that the government will definitely spare no effort in spreading the news about His Highness Changsun.
Coupled with the previous rumors about the Xiaoling incident, it is difficult to estimate what level His Highness Changsun's reputation will reach.
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded with a smile.
He was very satisfied with his eldest grandson. Even according to Zhu Yuanzhang's critical eyes, he was a perfect heir to the throne.
Thinking of this, Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but think of his fourth son, Zhu Di.
To be honest, if the fourth son Zhu Di hadn't brought him to the capital, how could he have seen his eldest grandson.
Even if there are people who have seen the boss Zhu Biao, they have seen the eldest grandson.
I just think they look very similar.
Especially because the eldest grandson died young, not many people know about it.
Moreover, if the treatment of the crown prince is not carefully investigated, he will be mistaken for the prince instead of the prince's grandson.
What Zhu Ying has done in Henan has been going on for a month now.
Some well-informed officials, especially officials in Beijing who were originally from Henan, quickly noticed the title His Royal Highness, King Yu.
In a certain teahouse, several officials from Henan gathered together and started discussing.
"This plague in my hometown is thanks to the help of His Highness King Yu. Otherwise, I don't know how many people would have died. The floods in the first half of the year and the plague in the second half of the year are really difficult."
The official who spoke was originally from a place near Kaifeng. He suffered from two natural disasters and one decline.
Of course he was not affected in the capital, but many of his friends and relatives back home were killed in the disaster.
If the plague is not controlled and spreads this time, don't think too much, more people you know will naturally lose their lives as a result.
Man, it's a completely different feeling when you know that people you know well are dying one by one.
If you hear about someone you don't recognize, or how many people died because of it, the concept in your mind will be very vague, as if it's just a simple number.
This is why those gathered together now are all officials from Henan.
Because only they can feel it after hearing about the plague.
"I am really grateful to His Highness King Yu. However, I have been in the capital for so many years. When did Your Majesty confer the title of King of Yu, I can't remember."
"Colleagues, can you please remind me? I have thought carefully about it, and it seems that among the ten princes who were conferred last year, His Royal Highness Prince Yu was not included."
Another official hesitated for a moment and said hesitantly.
Earlier, in fact, no one said that they did not know about His Highness Prince Yu, and they all thought that there was something wrong with their memory.
After all, it is not a good thing for a minister to not remember the prince's name.
It's like walking on the street one day, and suddenly a person greets you and says he was a classmate of a certain period, but you don't remember it.
This is very rude.
But after the official said it, several people looked at each other, as if no one present knew it.
"Don't think too much. His Majesty, Prince Yu, will certainly reward you for your contribution. You will know when the time comes."
An official said, which relieved the awkward atmosphere.
Then everyone started to drink and drink again.
In fact, not only officials from Henan, but also many ministers above the fifth rank were discussing the existence of His Highness King Yu.
Henan is a major province of the Ming Dynasty. It was a battleground for military strategists from the Central Plains in ancient times, and it was also a sacred place for literature.
Kong Shengbian was originally from Henan.
Of course, the key point is that whether it is the Qunying Chamber of Commerce, the Jin Yiwei, or the government, they are all rapidly spreading the story of His Royal Highness King Yu driving away the plague and saving all people.
Just like in teahouses in Henan today, some people have already compiled it into an opera.
"What a great Dao Yan, you really turn into a dragon when the storm hits you."
Zhu Di looked at the information passed and shouted loudly.
Recently, the number of Japanese pirates along the coast suddenly decreased on a large scale, which made Zhu Di wonder if there was something big going on, so he sent people to start investigating.
Of course he knew about the fact that his subordinate Dao Yan went to Goryeo.
He even believed that Dao Yan behaved like this in order not to betray himself.
Now it seems that I may have thought wrong.
"Your Highness, General Master Daoyan really didn't notice. This is too cruel. There are 150,000 mercenaries. How many people are there in the entire Goryeo?"
Zhu Neng exclaimed.
Yao Guangxiao and many of the generals under Zhu Di are very familiar with each other. After all, they were once military advisors.
But as far as Zhu Neng is concerned, the former strategist suddenly became a commander-in-chief. The changes in this world are really amazing.
What is the concept of an army of 150,000? Even His Highness the King of Yan currently does not control such a large army.
After Zhang Yu thought about it, he suddenly said: "The general has also heard about the situation in Goryeo. Master Daoyan went to Goryeo to become a national teacher. This is obviously not normal."
"No matter how much Goryeo admires the Ming Dynasty, it will not reach such an extent. I think it is inseparable from His Highness Changsun."
"His Royal Highness Changsun is in Goryeo. I'm afraid the layout is very large. The army of 150,000 is commanded by Master Daoyan. It's not that the general thinks that Daoyan doesn't have this ability."
"It's only been a long time since Master Daoyan went to Korea. If I remember correctly, this is Master Daoyan's first time to Korea."
Zhang Yu's words made Zhu Di think deeply, and he quickly came to his senses.
Daoyan led an army of 150,000 to defeat the Japanese pirates, which was most likely the work of his eldest nephew.
Suddenly, Zhu Di's expression began to darken.
"So, my eldest nephew has a huge influence in Goryeo. If my guess is correct, it must be the British Chamber of Commerce."
Zhu Di analyzed and said. In fact, Zhu Di has never paid too much attention to the Qunying Chamber of Commerce.
In Zhu Di's view, they were just a group of businessmen, not worthy of much attention.
But now, Zhu Di has realized that this Qunying Chamber of Commerce is probably using the guise of the Chamber of Commerce to carry out other purposes secretly.
Although Zhu Di looks down on businessmen as cheap, he also understands that when a businessman's wealth accumulates to a certain level, the huge influence it brings is completely different.
Lu Buwei in the pre-Qin period is the best example.
Although Zhu Di's educational level is not high, he still reads a lot.
At this moment, Zhu Di suddenly had mixed feelings about Dao Yan.
After a while, Zhu Di said in a deep voice: "Give me the order to assemble the troops and go to sea to prepare to sweep away the Japanese pirates."
Zhang Yu and Zhu Neng looked at each other, lowered their heads and clasped their fists, saying: "I will obey the order."
This is a good time.
The Japanese pirates are probably gathering on a large scale now to support the war in Goryeo.
The Japanese pirates themselves have a deep connection with the Japanese government. In other words, in the Japanese country, Japanese pirates are not a bad pronoun.
On the contrary, what Ming Dynasty regarded as Japanese pirates was cheered by the Japanese people after they returned to Japan.
Because Japanese pirates are often composed of Japanese ronai and warriors, after they plunder wealth and return home, they are equivalent to Japanese heroes.
Japanese pirates are organized.
Now the large army on the Goryeo side has obviously put a lot of pressure on the Japanese country.
The ronai and samurai of Japan, even those who were defeated, still had patriotic feelings.
The Japanese nationality was originally very strong.
When the Japanese pirates in the Ming Dynasty got the news, they had already gathered spontaneously and started to stop the Goryeo army.
"These mice are usually hard to catch, but this time I will catch you all in one fell swoop."
Zhu Di said coldly.
The situation in the sea is very complicated, and Japanese pirates like to hide on unnamed islands. Not only is it difficult to find them, but also the losses will be serious when encountering storms at sea.
This is what is difficult to prevent.
However, the Japanese pirates still hardly benefited from the method of strengthening the walls and clearing the fields.
At the same time, the Goryeo Palace.
Li Chenggui is furious.
"How dare he do this? He simply doesn't take me seriously. Whose Korea is this? Or is it the Korea of my Korean people?"
"What a National Preceptor! What a Heroic Chamber of Commerce!"
Just half an hour ago, Li Chenggui received an urgent document from Japan.
Among them was asking Goryeo why they suddenly attacked their Japanese country.
But now Li Chenggui realized that the new imperial master was so crazy.
We are about to start a national war!
Li Chenggui, who had just received the news, was completely stunned.
