Chapter 935 Re-trusted
Chen Feng's fleet did not return to Dadu immediately after the coastal river, but arrived in Yingtian first.
Since Chen Feng wrote the memorial to Zhu Yuanzhang in advance, when Chen Feng reached Yingtian, Zhu Yuanzhang had already had a very thorough understanding of the whole matter.
For Zhu Yuanzhang, he is just a feeling now, and he is happy!
At the beginning, Zhu Yuanzhang sent an envoy to the island country to surrender. Unexpectedly, the birds and people from the island country actually killed their envoys.
At that time, Zhu Yuanzhang really wanted to send troops to the island country! Unfortunately, the main enemy of the Ming Dynasty at that time was the Tartars, and the Japanese pirates were far away from the mainland and needed to send ships to them, so they had to give up.
And now, as the Ming Dynasty continues to grow stronger, it is finally time to solve this matter!
When Chen Feng arrived in Yingtian, he was urgently summoned by Zhu Yuanzhang.
"Brother Emperor, you have always been the best warrior in our Ming Dynasty. This time, I have solved the Japanese pirate problem for our Ming Dynasty, which is really gratifying." Zhu Yuanzhang said.
"These are all the blessings of the Emperor. I have asked me to protect the Ming Dynasty. The battle at sea has always been dangerous. This time, I am lucky to win." Chen Feng said: "This battle was just a temporary intention. I went to sea from Yangzhou. I didn't have time to report to the Emperor. I also asked the Emperor to forgive me."
Chen Feng's words are always so humble, and Zhu Yuanzhang was very satisfied after hearing this.
At this time, only he and Chen Feng were still in this posture. Some people's alarmist remarks were purely slander, and Zhu Yuanzhang could still tell it.
Although Chen Feng was not in the court, Chen Feng could know clearly about the affairs of the court in a few days, and naturally he knew that it was a few days ago that someone was talking sarcastic in the court.
Chen Feng led the navy to attack the Japanese pirates, which was of course very satisfying. However, the entire court had never heard of such an important battle. Prince Chen's army was a natural formation. If this continued, he would be afraid of disaster. Especially, Yingtian was next to the Yangtze River. If the Taihu Navy had the intention to go against the current, he would go upstream at any time.
People who say such words think they are very secretive, but Chen Feng still knows it clearly.
Chen Feng would not touch him immediately. When the right time comes, he would make all the people who were bad for him. The ones who borrowed must be the emperor's knife.
Chen Feng has always been very clear about this principle, but Chen Feng is fearless now. First, the foundation of the Ming Dynasty is not stable and he already needs himself. For example, the northern borders have to be defended by himself. Lan Yu is still very young and cannot take on his own tasks at all. Second, Zhu Yuanzhang still believes in Chen Feng now. After all, Chen Feng helped him to defeat him. Zhu Yuanzhang has not yet reached the time of suspicion and bloodthirsty killing in the later period. Third, even if Zhu Yuanzhang dares to attack him, Chen Feng is definitely not afraid. Although Chen Feng has not many soldiers and generals under him, they are all elites. Zhu Yuanzhang is not stupid. At this time, he will never listen to slander and turn himself into Yue Fei's.
Moreover, Chen Feng was very careful in doing everything, so that Zhu Yuanzhang could not find any fault.
"Brother Emperor, wouldn't you let my brothers separate?" Zhu Yuanzhang said: "Since you and I became brothers in Yangzhou, you have been helping me wholeheartedly. I know very well these things. A few days ago, someone slandered me in my ears. This person has been sent to the frontier to serve as a military force."
Zhu Yuanzhang said it very naturally and even brought up the things that happened a few days ago.
"Thank you the Emperor to understand." Chen Feng said: "This time, I also learned that Ye Shishi was a detailed work of the Japanese pirates. In the past, it was fake to be a woman on the Qinhuai River. It was true that helping the Japanese pirates find out the information of merchant ships on the sea. Later, Ye Shishi was given to me by the emperor, and I asked her to stay in Yangzhou. From then on, the Japanese pirates became headless flys, and then they came to our land to loot."
After Chen Feng analyzed this, Zhu Yuanzhang nodded: "No, it's true! This traitor is the most hateful!"
"How to deal with Ye Shishi, please make a decision on the emperor." Chen Feng said.
Hearing Chen Feng's words, Zhu Yuanzhang thought for a moment, and then said, "Since we have come back, let's continue to stay in the palace. When we fight the island country, let her see the majesty of our Ming Dynasty! Humph, if this Ye Shishi is directly sentenced to death, wouldn't it be a good deal for her? Brother Emperor, when will we send troops? I have to prepare in advance."
"Thank you, the emperor." Chen Feng said. He naturally knew that it was very wise for Zhu Yuanzhang to say this. When Zhu Yuanzhang saw that he brought Ye Shishi back, he knew that he was reluctant to kill her. Therefore, Zhu Yuanzhang naturally would not order Ye Shishi to be killed, and would still stay in his palace. What should he do? Follow his own arrangements.
Moreover, even when fighting, I followed my own arrangements. Will such an emperor feel that he is not satisfied with it?
Chen Feng didn't think about this much. Now, it is related to a new war. If you should make the decision, you must make the decision. After all, in this battle, your navy is the protagonist. If you suffer losses, it will be your own.
"Your Majesty, the news that I asked the Japanese pirate to join the army was that I immediately sent troops and would soon flatten the island country." Chen Feng said.
Hearing Chen Feng's words, Zhu Yuanzhang frowned: "Then we have to find a way to find a grain merchant in Jiangnan."
Zhu Yuanzhang and Chen Feng thought of going together. Last year, they borrowed a lot of food from grain merchants in Jiangnan. It is only spring now, and it is still a long time to get a new grain harvest. Those immigrants who just came out of Shanxi also take time, so if they fight now, this food problem will become the first major problem.
"This is just what Weichen said. When the Japanese pirates find out, our army will never go there. At most, they will call Weichen a coward and a coward." Chen Feng said, and he didn't feel any guilt when he said this.
When Zhu Yuanzhang heard Chen Feng's words, he smiled: "It seems that the people of the island country will definitely think that the people of our Ming Dynasty are all cowards, and that's fine. After half a year, the cowards in their eyes will become tigers."
Zhu Yuanzhang's idea coincided with Chen Feng. Half a year later, after the autumn harvest, the court had enough food and grass to attack the island country!
"The emperor is wise. Now I am just trying to anger the islanders. Their personalities are very strange. Once they are angry and fight with us, they will be ready to die. However, if we are left aside first, they will gradually become discouraged. At that time, we will go up again and have a rainbow of momentum. It is a good time to eliminate the Japanese pirates." Chen Feng said.
"Brother of the Emperor, you are the first person who is good at fighting in our Ming Dynasty." Zhu Yuanzhang said.
Hearing Zhu Yuanzhang's words, Chen Feng quickly lowered his head: "Your Majesty, I am just a martial artist. If you discuss literature, martial arts, and knowledge of strategies, you are the number one in our Ming Dynasty."
"Okay, brother, you and I have supported each other over the years. If it weren't for you, how could the Ming Dynasty be today? Until now, you are still loyal and considering the eternal foundation of the Ming Dynasty. How could I be those emperors who believe in slander and doubt loyal ministers? Don't welcome me like this." Zhu Yuanzhang said.
Zhu Yuanzhang said this very appropriately today. Chen Feng knew that even if the emperor said it very comfortably, it would still change afterwards.
This time, the action he planned was to flatter the emperor correctly, so the emperor was so happy and especially favored Chen Feng. Chen Feng knew that he really couldn't afford it, just listen, he couldn't take it too seriously.
"Thank you for your kindness," Chen Feng said.
"Let's talk about it specifically, brother, do you think we are sure of attacking the island country this time?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked.
Chen Feng thought for a while and said, "If Weichen's plan can be fully implemented, then we will be 100% sure."
Ten percent sure! When marching and fighting, you will encounter various emergencies. Even if you are a wise commander, you will not be very sure. However, Chen Feng said that he is very sure!
Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes lit up: "Brother Emperor, what are your plans?"
"Now, the island country is not a monolithic piece. They are divided into two parts, north and south, and there are two emperors. This is our opportunity." Chen Feng opened his mouth and started talking endlessly.
There is no need to hide it. Anyway, this time the attack is still the main force of his Taihu Navy. At that time, the plan can be temporarily modified, and it doesn't matter even if it is leaked.
Chen Feng told his plan, and Zhu Yuanzhang opened his eyes wide, all of them were surprised: "Brother Emperor, you are indeed 100% sure of such a plan. However, will I betray others in the Ming Dynasty?"
"Your Majesty, we must pay attention to integrity when dealing with people, but when dealing with island countries, we must show our sharp means. Island countries must be ruled by us, otherwise, the seas of the Ming Dynasty will never be peaceful in the future. Moreover, the silver mountain on the island country will be the wealth of our Ming Dynasty for hundreds of years in the future. We are now short of money and the national treasury is empty. It is just right for the silver mountain to let the island people use it as compensation, and our Ming Dynasty will be more prosperous and strong."
"If you really want to bear the infamous reputation of those shameless villains in the island country, then let me bear it." Chen Feng continued. Zhu Yuanzhang was still paying attention to benevolence, righteousness and morality, but Chen Feng completely disagrees. "Okay, I fully agree with this plan. As for this infamy, let me bear it. Whoever dares to curse a word will implicate the nine tribes!" Zhu Yuanzhang said.
