"So we have to scare them. When the knife is placed on their necks, they will obey." Boss Zhu said with ridicule: "Then, in order to comfort themselves, they will think of the bright side of things and turn bad things into good things."
"Okay..." The prince stopped retorting, otherwise his father would not be able to enjoy the wine.
However, Zhu Yuanzhang happily ate six bowls of soju in a row, but the prince refused to let him drink any more: "It's too much today."
"Okay, we have to listen to the prince. When you get old, you have to obey your son." Zhu Yuanzhang smacked his lips with unfinished meaning and started talking about business.
"You all know that this time there were five hundred Japanese pirates in the army that Hu Weiyong launched the coup. They confessed that it was Prince Huailiang who accepted Hu Weiyong's proposal and sent them to enter the country disguised as tribute envoys to help him in his rebellion."
"Yes." The three brothers nodded, all very angry.
"The little Japanese pirates invaded the Ming Dynasty again and again, and now they dare to participate in the assassination of the father." Lao Liu and Lao Si even screamed for a fight.
"If we don't flatten their capital and hang the head of Prince Huailiang on the North Tower, how dare we, the Ming'an, compare with the Han and Tang Dynasties?!"
"Well, ten years ago we wanted to send a large army to cross the sea to conquer the Japanese. Unfortunately, due to various reasons, the trip failed. The Japanese pirates became more and more contemptuous of our Ming Dynasty, and even went crazy like today!" Zhu Yuanzhang nodded heavily and said:
"This time we are determined to conquer the Japanese country and avoid future troubles forever! Then we will spread the message of Huai Liang throughout the barbarians to serve as a warning to others!"
"Father..." When the prince heard this, he didn't know whether his father was drunk or bloated. He quickly said helplessly: "Now the imperial army has gathered in the southwest, and the military supplies are almost ready. Isn't it appropriate to change the course at this time? Isn't it agreed?
Do you want to punish me first and see the effects later?"
"We thought about it again and thought that would be too boring." Zhu Yuanzhang shook his head, he was just drunk.
"Think about the Han Dynasty. A dozen envoys dared to destroy the country thousands of miles away. Wang Xuance of the Tang Dynasty was even more exaggerated. One person could destroy a country. Why did the Ming Dynasty stress all day long about 'accidents at sea' and 'Yuan Dynasty'?
"Teach me a lesson', why don't you dare to attack the Japanese pirates because you are unfamiliar with the place?"
As he spoke, he raised his voice and asked: "Where is our class champion Wang Xuance?!"
"Here, here." The fourth and sixth children rushed to raise their hands. The prince couldn't laugh or cry. As the only normal person in the old Zhu family, he often felt that he was out of tune with these perverts.
The prince kept coughing and winked at Lao Liu. Lao Liu had to change his words and said: "But what the elder brother said is correct. The battle to regain Yunnan and unify China is imminent. It is really not appropriate to give up halfway at this time. It will hurt morale too much."
"Do you have a stand?" Zhu Yuanzhang glared at Lao Liu with dissatisfaction.
"Father, please don't be anxious. Listen to what I have to say." Lao Liu hurriedly said: "Japan is definitely going to be destroyed. The Japanese pirates have been harassing my people for more than ten years, and the Japanese chief dared to take advantage of my father's idea and not kill them.
Light, it is difficult to understand the hatred in my heart!"
"But we must also see that we are still unable to compare with the Han and Tang dynasties. The reason why Ban Chao Wang Xuance was able to destroy the country alone was based on the fact that the Han and Tang dynasties had already established huge prestige in the Western Regions."
"The failure of the Yuan Dynasty's two eastern expeditions made the Japanese slaves lose their respect for China, so they dared to be so unscrupulous." Lao Liu said solemnly:
"So we can't replicate the miracle of Banchao Wang Xuance. We can only treat them as an enemy country, follow the basic principles of war, and annihilate them step by step. Finally, behead the Japanese chiefs, spread them to the barbarians, and re-establish the prestige of the Ming Dynasty.
, so that we can have our own class super player Wang Xuance in the future!"
"Lao Liu, these are mature words, I second my opinion!" Lao Si also hurriedly agreed.
"That makes sense." Boss Zhu rubbed his swollen head, nodded, and said with great displeasure: "But, we want revenge now!"
"You can immediately send a commercial fleet to the coast of Japan to punish them." Lao Liu said calmly: "The invaders can come, and I can go too! From now on, the offensive and defensive momentum will be easy!"
"Yes, from now on, if the Japanese pirates dare to kill one of us, we will kill thousands of them and hundreds of them!" Zhu Di felt very appetized. He patted Lao Liu's thigh heavily and said, "Let's see who dares to hurt me, Hua Xia Zi again"
A hair on the head of the people?!”
"Secondly, conduct on-site investigation on it, win over Japanese traitors, cultivate pro-Ming forces, and make full preparations for the future army to attack Japan." Lao Liu said solemnly: "Father has been preparing for so many years to regain Yunnan, and we have no plans for Japan.
We know even less about the situation, so we definitely need to be fully prepared for the expedition to Japan!”
"What you said makes sense, but we just don't feel comfortable with it!" Zhu Yuanzhang said in a loud voice: "If we don't kill the Huailiang Dog King, we can't swallow this breath!"
"If we just want Huai Liang's head, I will give it to my father this time!" Lao Liu had no choice but to take the high road.
"Okay, it's a deal!" Zhu Yuanzhang was waiting for his words, grabbed Lao Liu's hand and said: "You must bring his head back to us! Then we will make you a king and give you three
Every daughter-in-law will be a princess! Then you don’t have to worry..."
"Uh..." Lao Liu stared at the old thief dumbfounded, and then realized that he had been tricked by him again. This was clearly because the old thief didn't want to change the established strategy of attacking Yunnan first, but also wanted to vent his anger, so he threw this problem to
own.
But to be honest, the third princess is quite attractive...
"How much is the military expenditure?" Lao Liu asked.
"Two million strings!" Boss Zhu said solemnly.
"Really?" Lao Liu couldn't believe his ears. The sun was rising from the west. The iron rooster actually plucked its feathers, and he plucked a lot of them.
"Really." Boss Zhu nodded and said, "Don't be too grateful, just bring Huai Liang's head back."
"Ahem." The prince couldn't bear to deceive the sixth son and told him the cruel truth: "The Battle of Yunnan and post-war reconstruction still have a gap of two million. My father originally planned to let the Hai Zheng Yamen share the burden. Now,
I guess I’ll waive it for you.”
"Just two million coins?" Lao Liu was not surprised, but rather took it for granted.
"Isn't this different? If you don't ask, I'll give it to you." Zhu Yuanzhang said plausibly: "If you feel dissatisfied, then first pay out the two million Yunnan dollars, and then we will allocate another two million dollars to you.
Japanese rates.”
"..." Lao Liu has a saying that I don't know whether to say or not.
"We have to extend the tax exemption period of Hai Zheng Yamen for another three years." He set out his own conditions.
Lao Zhu regretted that he had given him a five-year exemption period... At that time, he really didn't expect that the Hai Zheng Yamen would have so much money.
Now that the term is finally coming to an end, he can make a lot of extra income. Letting him extend it for another three years is almost like killing Zhu Laocai.
"One year at most, I won't be defeated if I don't do it." Lao Zhu's face darkened.
"At least two years, I can't pull him down." Lao Liu looked like he was about to give up and leave.
"Just two years..." The prince still faced Lao Liu.
"Oh, okay. The boss has already spoken..." Lao Zhu had no choice but to agree.
