Superintendent Cao Zhengchun, to build the strongest East Factory

Chapter 99
"What Li Shangshu said is very true. However, the governor's matter has a lot to do with it, and I still need to discuss it with the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs!"

"Cao Yue, hurry up and call your adoptive father, Governor Cao."

Zhu Houzhao looked solemn, and after thinking about it for a while, he decided to go to court to discuss the matter.

As for who will be the governor, go to retreat the enemy.

Zhu Houzhao also had three suitable candidates in his mind, namely Cao Zhengchun, Marquis Tiedan and Li Xunhuan, Shangshu of the Ministry of War.

However, he was still hesitant to choose the most suitable person to serve as governor.

Cao Zhengchun had no choice but to go back to Dongchang first, and changed back to his original appearance.

Then he rewarded his men with some silver, treasure armor, and elixir to get them ready.He went to the palace again to go to court.

In the main hall, all the civil and military ministers have arrived.There are also Tie Dan Shenhou, Li Xunhuan, Zhang Shoufu, Zhuge Zhengwo, Yu Huatian, Liu Xi, Liu Jin, Cao Shaoqin, Dong Tianbao, Catcher, Jin Jiuling and others also came to court.

"Today, there is a very urgent matter. According to the secret report obtained by Cao Yue and Li Shangshu, the pirates from Japan began to invade our Daming territory and plunder wantonly. And the governor of the frontier was also assassinated by their experts last night."

Zhu Houzhao narrated with a heavy face.

"It's really disgusting. Those Japanese pirates are too rampant. They don't even pay attention to me, Da Ming. They must pay a heavy price!"

"The Japanese pirates are powerful, with many masters and excellent weapons. They came prepared to catch us by surprise, and we are not easy to deal with."

After hearing this, all the civil and military officials felt a little angry and couldn't contain it.But there are also some people who are flustered and worried.

"Your Majesty! Anyone who offends me in the Central Plains will be punished no matter how far away!"

"We must get rid of these Japanese pirates as soon as possible. Otherwise, let them attack the city and take advantage of the geographical advantage. Then recruit some rebels, expand their manpower, and grow stronger. At that time, it will cause a big problem, and it will be even more difficult to deal with."

Seeing the panic-stricken looks of those civil and military ministers, Cao Zhengchun quickly stood up and proposed.

"Yes! What Cao Aiqing said is very true! These Japanese pirates must be eliminated as soon as possible, and we cannot give them time to develop."

Zhu Houzhao nodded after hearing this.

Seeing this, Tie Dan Shenhou quickly stood up and said:

"Your Majesty doesn't know. Although what Governor Cao said is reasonable, those Japanese pirates are unusual. They are all elites, well-equipped, and have firecrackers and cannons. They are not easy to deal with."

"According to the news that Weichen's spies are in the front. Those Japanese pirates attacked three cities of our Ming Dynasty in a row last night, beheading tens of thousands of our soldiers. But their losses were slight, and not many troops were lost."

Zhu ignored the news on purpose in order to prevent Cao Zhengchun from taking action and affect his plan.

"What, they already occupied three cities of my Ming Dynasty in one night, beheading tens of thousands of my soldiers. Their fighting power is really so powerful? So what should I do?"

After Zhu Houzhao heard it, his face turned pale, and he was a little flustered.

"Your Majesty, those pirates came to Daming to plunder resources. If the Emperor is not confident in defeating them, you can choose to negotiate peace with them."

"My Daming has a vast land and rich resources. Even if I give some to them, I won't lose much. If we are defeated by them again, it will hurt my Daming's face."

Zhu Wushi sneered in his heart, he just wanted Zhu Houzhao to give in, to show his incompetence.At that time, he can take the opportunity to replace him and seize the throne.

"Your Majesty, there is no need to hesitate any longer. If you choose peace talks after defeating the war, you will pay more."

Zhu ignored seeing that the emperor was thinking about it, and continued to urge him.

"What Shenhou said is very true!" Some ministers also quickly echoed.

Seeing that Zhu Wushi was digging a hole for the emperor, Cao Zhengchun quickly stood up.

"Your Majesty, this is absolutely unacceptable. How can I, Ming Dynasty, submit to a small country and negotiate peace with a group of humble and shameless Japanese pirates?"

"Some Japanese pirates just took advantage of the opportunity to sneak attack. It may also be that some ghosts among us give them information, so they can easily succeed."

Cao Zhengchun stood beside Zhu Wushi and said with disdain.

"Cao Aiqing, the soldiers at the front were defeated, lost cities one after another, and the morale of the army was slackened. According to what you said, are you sure you can defeat those Japanese pirates?"

Zhu Houzhao looked at him expectantly.

"Your Majesty, I am willing to personally lead the team to exterminate those Japanese pirates. As long as the Emperor can temporarily let me lead the troops from Xichang, Ouchi Guards, Jinyiwei, Shenji Battalion, Artillery Battalion, Six Gates, and Shenhou Mansion. "

"Besides, I also have a black-clothed arrow team in the East Factory, which can also deal with the group of Japanese pirates' gunfire troops."

Cao Zhengchun challenged himself confidently.I also want to take the opportunity to lead these forces.

"Hmm! Cao Aiqing, you're right. Our Daming also has an endless stream of masters, and it's no problem to deal with those arrogant Japanese pirates!"

After Zhu Houzhao heard what Cao Zhengchun said, his confidence gradually rose again.

"Your Majesty, don't be careless!"

"Mr. Cao! Don't act recklessly. It seems that you still don't know the strength of the leaders of the Japanese warriors! Even you are not easy to deal with them."

Zhu Wushi shook his head lightly and retorted.

"Oh? It seems that you, Shenhou, know those people very well! Then tell me, Shenhou, what is so great about those people?"

Cao Zhengchun looked at Zhu Wushi meaningfully and asked.

"Those are all the heads of the major sects in Dongying, and they are all in the realm of great masters. There is Zhiyue Canglongxuan, the head of the Koga Sect, Miyamoto Musashi, the head of the Iga Sect, and his master Tianfeng Shishiro, and The Yagyu Killing God of the Yagyu family."

After Zhu Wushi finished speaking, he gave Cao Zhengchun another cold look.

"Uncle Huang, you are also a great master. Even the undefeated naughty boy Gu Santong was defeated by you back then. Don't tell me that even you are afraid of those people?"

Zhu Houzhao also asked curiously.

"Yes, even I am not sure to deal with them. Those people are all unique in their own way, and their martial arts are extraordinary. It is difficult to have opponents in Dongpu."

Zhu Wushi nodded and continued talking.

"According to the information I know, Zhiyue Canglongxuan cultivates a kind of heart demon magic, which can control the opponent's heartbeat to kill people. Even the Dragon Yin Iron Shirt, or Governor Cao's Tiangang Boy Kungfu is not easy to resist."

"Miyamoto Musashi is not only invincible with Niten's first-rate swordsmanship. He is also good at the art of war."

"Also, Tianfeng Shishilang's Windward Slash is also invincible. It is so powerful that even the wind can cut it open."

"And that Liu Sheng Killing God not only practiced the killing god's sword to perfection, but he also practiced the Immortal Evil Sword. The opponent doesn't know his weakness, so it is difficult to kill him."

Zhu Wushi explained with a serious face that he was fully confident in this plan.
