my brother-in-law is the prince

Chapter 98 The Great Victory
The three of Qiu Fu saluted and said, "Your Majesty, I'm waiting for a report here, and I would like to ask Your Majesty to read it."

Zhu Di sat down, but he didn't expect that he was here for business, so he winked at Yi Shiha who was beside him.

He also failed to understand, took the memorial and sent it to Zhu Di.

Zhu Di frowned.

"Zhang Fu came to write a letter." Zhu Di said: "This kid is still like this, his heart is too impetuous. I told him to wait at Chengshanwei, and he became impatient."

The three of Qiu Fu exchanged glances with each other, and Qiu Fu said: "Your Majesty, after being a loyal minister, he is now old, but he has not made any great contributions. He is eager to make contributions, which is understandable."

Zhu Di seemed to be able to understand Zhang Fu's psychology, and said: "Yes, he wants to honor the lintel and not shame his father. Over the years, he has made a lot of small contributions, and he is willing to work hard. I have also endured quite a lot of skill in riding and shooting, and I dare say that in the future, he will be like his father, and will be a pillar of enlightenment for me."

After a pause, Zhu Di said again: "But he is too anxious, and all he thinks about every day is to go to the border town to make meritorious service. This is not good, after all, he is still young."

Qiu Fu smiled and said: "Your Majesty, I think this is nothing. Didn't it be the same when Your Majesty and I were at the same age? The so-called newborn calves are not afraid of tigers, this is a good thing."

Zhu Di put down the memorial, looked up at Qiu Fu and the others, and said, "Then what do you mean?"

If it is just to show him the report, there is no need to make such a big fanfare. The three governors must have other purposes when they came together.

Qiu Fudao: "I heard that a respected person should take care of his children. Zhang Fu's desire to make meritorious service is justifiable. I think...it's justified."

After Zhu Di heard this, he nodded and said, "Yes, Zhang Fu is the only one who will be able to command the army in the future. I have great expectations for him."

This is also the truth, Zhu Di still has vision in this regard.

With so many children, their parents are all great heroes.

But to be honest, their fathers are all extremely powerful ministers now, but most of these children are not successful, and even if there are occasional successful ones, they don't put their minds on leading soldiers. After all...leading soldiers is hard work, and the art of war Manipulation is not something that ordinary people can learn.

Speaking of this, the minds of the monarchs and ministers could not help but feel sad.

They recalled the past when they charged into battle, how they dressed up, led the army, and swept away their enemies.

But they are all old after all, but there are very few successors.

"The children and grandchildren only want to enjoy the blessings. Who wants to be like us?" Zhu Di continued with emotion: "People say that they will win the world immediately, but they can't sit in the world immediately. In my opinion, this is farting. These unworthy children and grandchildren from the gentle village are guarding the border, and no one has wiped them out of foreign enemies. Can they rely on a few Analects of Confucius and a few sentences to stabilize the country? I am so angry when I hear these nonsense."

Qiu Fu said: "Your Majesty, please calm down. The meaning of the ministers... is to order Zhang Fu to leave as soon as possible. Since he wanted to make meritorious service at the border, his wish was fulfilled."

Zhu Di raised his eyebrows: "Is there really no change in Chengshanwei's place?"

"It is clear in the report, there is no change."

Zhu Di nodded, sighed, and wanted to say something, but finally said: "Then let the Commander's Mansion of the Five Armies order Zhang Fu to go to the Xuan Mansion."

Qiu Fu said: "Observe the order."

Zhu Di frowned and remained silent.

See His Majesty unhappy.

Zhu Yong said: "What's wrong, Your Majesty?"

Zhu Di smiled and said: "What I just said just now is really depressing. I was thinking, after a hundred years, who will guard the Ming community in this world? It seems that there is only one Zhang Fu who is willing to do his best. gone."

These words are really frustrating, since they entered Nanjing City, not to mention those children, even many generals, they have all indulged in this gentle village.

You can imagine what it will be like once you encounter a foreign enemy at that time.

"When Emperor Taizu Gao was here, he hoped to complete the battle and completely wipe out the remnants of Beiyuan. In this way, his descendants would no longer be harassed by the northern enemies. But now that I think about it, there are endless foreign enemies in this country. Without Beiyuan, Since there will be Tatar tribes, there will be Wala, and there will even be Japanese pirates who harassed the southeast coast of our Ming Dynasty a few years ago, so in the future, will we only rely on Zhang Fu?"

Zhu Di's commander-in-chief is obviously not just talented people.

After all, a person who masters heavy troops and is in charge of killing and fighting, not only needs to be handsome, but the most important thing is... trustworthy.

Zhang Fu is a trustworthy person.

As for other meritorious deeds...

Qiu Fu was silent for a moment, and said, "Your Majesty, in fact, His Highness the King of Han..."

As he said that, Qiu Fu bowed down, and continued to say: "I know that Your Majesty is angry with His Highness the King of Han, but when it comes to commanding troops, I and these veterans are convinced."

After hearing this, Zhu Neng's expression became strange.

This Qiu Fu was really loyal, at this moment, he still dared to speak for the King of Han.

Zheng Heng didn't make a sound. He has been the target of the most important attack recently, and he can't protect himself, not to mention Hanwang's dog, he was fed to him... Thinking of Hanwang, Zheng Heng felt sick to his stomach, and he was close to a conditioned reflex.

Zhu Di paced back and forth with his hands behind his back, but he was not angry. He frowned, "Zhu Gaoxu is so confused, hey...you're a fool."

After a pause, Zhu Dicai said again: "But he is not useless."

Immediately, he raised his head and looked in disbelief: "Jin Yiwei, do you have any reports about the King of Han?"

Yi Shiha said: "Beizhen Fusizuo, the King of Han has never left his house since he returned to the Mansion of the King of Han, and he lives in seclusion every day, but...but..."

"But what?"

"However, he doesn't seem to think about tea and food, and he didn't eat much of the meals sent in. I heard that he has lost a lot of weight."

Zhu Di's face darkened slightly, and he only said, "Got it."

Then, Zhu Di looked at Qiu Fu and said, "What you said is not wrong. The King of Han is indeed good. He can lead the army and is a great general. But, he has too much heart and doesn't respect himself."

Speaking of this, Zhu Di couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

Qiu Fu said: "In any case, the King of Han is also His Majesty's flesh and blood, and he is the brother of His Highness the Crown Prince. This cannot be parted from him. The King of Han is still young, and after all...knows the overall situation."

Zhu Di nodded, and took a deep breath: "In a few days, I will call the crown prince and the King of Han to meet. In addition...call Zhang Anshi too. It would be great if the King of Han can admit his mistakes in front of the crown prince and Zhang Anshi. Ning, I will never forgive you."

A big stone settled in Qiu Fu's heart.

In fact, Qiu Fu no longer expects the King of Han to be the emperor, unless... the current prince died as early as Zhu Biao, the prince of Emperor Taizu Gao.

But after all, Qiu Fu had a life-threatening friendship with the King of Han, so he couldn't just leave him dead.

He knew that at this juncture, he said these words very boldly, and might even arouse suspicion, but if he didn't say it, he would feel sorry for his conscience.

At that moment, he choked with sobs and bowed down: "Minister... Thank you, Your Majesty."

…………

Gu Xingzu's progress can be said to be visible to the naked eye.

Even Yang Shiqi had to admire this point.

He was able to silently write articles by people like Xie Jin, and began to try to write stereotyped essays.

Of course, the level is very low.

After writing an article, I showed it to Yang Shiqi. Yang Shiqi made an evaluation, compared with the articles of Xie Jin and others, which part was good and which part was not good. After making corrections, he typed it back and wrote it again.

Gu Xingzu is very deep-rooted. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is hanging on his shoulders. He writes articles almost every day until late at night. Most of the time, he does not go home and continues to write by lighting the lamp.

For many days in a row, his stereotyped essays are barely passable.

But it's just passable, probably at the level of a scholar.

But Zhang Anshi did not give up, and continued to increase the size, and the questions he asked became more and more difficult and tricky.

Gu Xingzu felt that he was very pitiful, he had never suffered such hardship in his life.

What was even more frightening was that he was doing the problem alone, but the five Confucian scholars in the capital were staring at him. Even when he went to the latrine, there was Qiu Song standing outside.

After analyzing again and again, followed by splashing ink again and again, Gu Xingzu felt as if he had become numb.

So much so that even in my dreams, I was thinking about how to solve the problem and how to accept it.

The increasing difficulty of the exam questions was the most painful for him, because the questions became more and more strange, and even Zhang Anshi directly took out the cut-off questions that only appeared in the middle and late Ming Dynasty.

This kind of cut-off questions is extremely difficult, and it is a test of the candidates' kung fu. It is completely different from the simpler structure of the questions in the early Ming Dynasty. It is completely the product of the candidates after a hundred years later.

If it is stated that the examination questions in the early stage were addition and subtraction questions in elementary school, then this cut-off question is equivalent to calculus.

When Yang Shiqi saw this question, he was shocked because he couldn't even do it himself.

So that I can't even understand the topic.

Until Zhang Anshi told him that this way of "learning and writing", the first "learning and writing" is taken from the first volume of the Analects, learning without thinking is nothing, and the latter sentence is from the Analects of Confucius Yan Yuan, that is: Jizi Cheng said: Gentleman It's all about quality, so what is the purpose of writing?

One question, two sources, and the meaning of each source is different, but you must satisfy these two meanings when you do the question.

Yang Shiqi was dumbfounded, and said in a daze: "Can it still be like this?"

"Why not?" Zhang Anshi said: "In my opinion, the current imperial examinations are too simple, our five Confucian scholars in the capital..."

Yang Shiqi interrupted him: "Four...four scholars."

"One meaning." Zhang Anshi said: "What did I just say? Yes, of course, the disciples we teach must be selected from the best, and they must solve difficult problems. If such difficult problems can be solved, then those simple problems Then nothing counts.”

Yang Shiqi: "..."

Yang Shiqi didn't expect that Zhang Anshi had become so perverted. Anyway, he might not be able to solve this problem by himself.

But let Gu Xingzu do it?
Of course, what surprised Yang Shiqi even more was that Zhang Anshi actually began to directly deconstruct stereotyped essays.

He disassembled the excellent stereotyped essays, and finally analyzed the structure of the excellent stereotyped essays, so he summed up a large set of theories.

What is the method of relying on annotations to control the questions? This method is to memorize Zhu Xi’s annotations, and then use Zhu Xi’s annotations in large sections and then incorporate them into the article. Zhu Xi is a saint, and even an officially designated saint. This is quite a bit Like the meaning of political correctness in later generations, you are black, gay, physically disabled, depressed, and a person of color. Once these buffs are added, who would dare to oppose you?
In addition, Zhang Anshi also summed up the "law of forward and reverse", "law of flowing water", "law of virtual reality", "law of separation", "law of pairing stocks", "one-roll grid", "leading and joining" "Under the method", "including the method of lifting" and so on.

All in all, to solve the problem, sum up the method, which is equivalent to finding the application formula to solve the problem. No matter what problem you encounter, apply a set of formulas, make the essay into a fill-in-the-blank problem, and then rely on yourself to analyze the Four Books and Five Classics and Zhu Xi's annotations. The profound understanding, directly solve the problem, accept the problem.

Yang Shiqi's eyes became straighter: "This article...isn't...isn't this a joke? Writing articles is a sacred thing."

Zhang Anshi said: "When did writing become a sacred thing? Yang Shi said, don't lie to yourself anymore. It is obvious that everyone is seeking fame and fame for the sake of being a Jinshi."

Zhang Anshi felt that he had spoken the most truthful truth.

Yang Shiqi continued to struggle and said, "But I can't do this..."

Zhang Anshi looked at Yang Shiqi meaningfully: "Master Yang, a hundred years from now, people will naturally sum up these experiences and use these things to make a fuss. We are just one step ahead of others, and we are just going to write it first as a respect."

Yang Shiqi: "..."

Therefore, Gu Xingzu began to do this kind of "cutting questions" every day. Sometimes he might not be able to solve a problem in two or three days. He was thinking hard every day, and he almost went crazy.

Even if such a question can be solved, the article that can be written is full of loopholes.

But Zhang Anshi was very happy, and asked him to continue working on a new cut-off question.

Yang Shiqi watched from the sidelines, his teeth hurting, and he only mourned for Gu Xingzu.

A few days later, Zhang Anshi was called into the palace by Zhu Di.

Outside the Meridian Gate, brother-in-law Zhu Gaochi was waiting for him.

Zhu Gaochi was wearing a uniform, looking serious, patted Zhang Anshi on the shoulder, and said, "It's been okay recently."

"Very good! Where's my brother-in-law?"

Zhu Gaochi frowned, he seemed to be a little thinner these days, this imperial examination consumed a lot of his mental energy, the educators are still making a lot of trouble now, and there are also complaints among the officials.

What he is most afraid of now is that in the Jianwen and Hongwu years, the southern candidates almost occupied all the places for Jinshi in the imperial examination, while the northern scholars could only fail.

Once this is the case... there will inevitably be another riot, and according to Zhu Di's character, there is no guarantee that there will be a massacre.

Thinking of this, Zhu Gaochi became upset, but he still smiled at Zhang Anshi and said, "Our Zhang Anshi has already become a doctor."

Zhang Anshi smiled and said: "Where, where, I think my knowledge is still a little bit behind, although Master Hu Yan said that my knowledge is higher than his, but I think I may be a little bit worse than him."

Zhu Gaochi didn't speak anymore.

Zhang Anshi had no choice but to say: "What did His Majesty ask us to do?"

Zhu Gaochi said: "Your Majesty has also summoned the King of Han."

Hearing this name, Zhang Anshi lost his good mood immediately, he gritted his teeth and said: "This King of Han is not a good thing, brother-in-law, you have to be careful."

"Don't talk nonsense." Zhu Gaochi became serious: "After all, he is my brother, hey...just ignorant."

Zhang Anshi shook his head, he couldn't understand Zhu Gaochi, but he also knew that it was difficult to change Zhu Gaochi for a while.

Wait until the two enter the palace.

Zhu Di was already sitting in the Wulou, and he saw that Han Wang Zhu Gaoxu was also talking to Zhu Di here for a while.

Zhu Gaochi and Zhang Anshi saluted and said: "I have seen my father (His Majesty)."

…………

The Mansion of the Commander-in-Chief of the Five Armies.

Since Chengshanwei's fast horse rushed to the outside of the Dudu's government hall.

This person not only carried a secret letter in a bamboo tube, but also a bag containing pears and melons.

"Urgent report, urgent report, please see the governor soon."

The soldiers at the gate didn't dare to stop them, they reported the news inside, and welcomed the man in at the same time.

The man was already exhausted and staggered, but his legs didn't stop, and soon he entered the lobby.

In the Mansion of the Governors of the Five Armies, the four governors are sitting here chatting.

Wei Guogong Xu Huizu was the governor of the central army, and there were also left and right governors, as well as former governors Qiu Fu, Zhu Neng and Zheng Heng.

They were chatting happily.

At this time, when they heard the strange movement outside, all four of them lowered their eyebrows. Generally speaking, such an urgent report is likely to be an urgent military situation at the border.

At the moment, order someone to come in immediately.

The hundred households of Chengshanwei bowed their heads and said: "I have seen all the governors."

"Which guard do you have, what's the military situation?"

Baihu said: "Chengshanwei was attacked."

As soon as this remark came out, the faces of the four governors all changed.

They looked after each other, but there were really thieves attacking them?

Qiu Fu suddenly asked, "Chengshanwei... In Shandong, there are also thieves who dare to attack?"

"There are thieves from everyone." The hundred households said: "This is the report, please have a look at it."

With that said, he took out the bamboo tube.

So several officials took apart the bamboo tube, took out a report inside, then tore off the wax and opened it face to face.

Qiu Fu's face suddenly darkened.

The more he looked, the deeper his frown became.

Immediately revealed an incredible color.

"This... how is it possible? How is it possible... that there are such a large group of pirates, it is really unheard of, unheard of!"

In fact... Before this, although there were occasional incidents of Japanese pirates' harassment.

But Japanese pirates are often small in number, so it can be said that they are not worth mentioning.

But this time, it was obviously a large-scale operation.And this time, if Zhang Fu hadn't organized the army in Chengshanwei, I'm afraid that Chengshanwei might break through, and the consequences after that... unimaginable...

Except for Chengshanwei, the surrounding area has been in peace for a long time, and there is almost no defense. Several counties and counties are invaded by such a large number of Japanese pirates, and their lives will inevitably be ruined.

"What's up, what's up."

"Unfortunately, Zhang Anshi's words fell into the trap." Qiu Fu said dumbfounded.

"What do you mean, what did you say?"

Qiu Fu reported the play to Zhu Neng, and Zhu Neng was dumbfounded: "This bastard's crow's mouth is so dangerous, but fortunately, he was prepared for it. If not, our five-army commander's mansion will be ridiculous."

Wei Guogong Xu Huizu was originally slow-tempered, and he had the demeanor of a general, but now that he heard Zhang Anshi, he was tempted to join him.

Seeing this... I was surprised.

This son... is really a crow's mouth.

So he couldn't help but said: "How did he get it right? This... is really unbelievable."

"There are more than 1000 thieves, it is really unimaginable. Has the enemy at sea reached such a level?"

"What are you still doing in a daze, come to the palace to have an audience, hurry up and report the victory." Wei Guogong Xu Huizu said: "Such an urgent military situation, we can't wait for long."

After hearing this, everyone felt reasonable.

But the hundred households said: "The governors entered the palace...humble...here is the explanation of General Zhang Fu."

Qiu Fu looked at Baihu: "What else is there?"

The hundred households took the burden and said, "General Zhang Fu said, this is the pear and melon that Chengshanwei planted himself. It was cultivated with hard work by the soldiers on weekdays. I know that I want to go to Beijing to announce the good news, so I brought this melon. I want to... want to give His Majesty a taste."

"Into him..." Qiu Fu was about to scold his mother, but fortunately he didn't scold Zhang Fu's mother after all, so he stopped in time and said with a smile: "Look at this kid Zhang Fu, he only thinks about His Majesty, and never thought of giving it to him." Let's give a bite of melon to eat, this kid is very clever."

Zhu Neng said: "This kid has tricks, I have to remember it, maybe it will be useful in the future."

Anyway, it's a big win.

Although the edge of the Ming Dynasty was always in the north.

However, enemies at sea should not be underestimated, because they harass Daming's coastal defenses, and Daming's coastal defenses stretch for thousands of miles, and most of the richest counties are located. Once they are breached, the losses will be even greater than that of border towns.

I don't know how many people and money have been saved this time.

Several governors were all beaming with joy.

Especially Wei Guogong Xu Huizu, stroked his long beard, and put on an appearance that everyone looked up to me.

Fortunately, he is a reserved person after all, not too obvious.

…………

On the other side, Zhu Gaochi and Zhang Anshi saluted Zhu Di, and Zhu Di said, "Give the crown prince a seat."

Only the crown prince was given a seat, while Zhu Gaoxu and Zhang Anshi were both standing. This was clearly for Han Wang Zhu Gaoxu to teach him to calm down. From now on, let’s not think about anything wrong.

Zhu Gaochi leaned over and sat down.

Before Zhu Di could say anything else, Zhu Gaoxu had already stepped forward, bowed his head, bowed to Prince Zhu Gaochi and Zhang Anshi, and said, "I didn't know anything before, so I'll make it up to you."

After all, he pretended to pat Zhang Anshi's head affectionately: "That's right, that's right, the hero is a teenager, if it weren't for Brother Zhang, the queen mother's body would be in trouble. Don't keep the past in mind."

Zhang Anshi was very upset when he held his head, and struggled away, but Zhu Gaoxu still looked very affectionate.

Zhu Di immediately glared at Zhu Gaoxu and began to scold: "You son of a bitch, I have tolerated you again and again, this time it was your elder brother who persuaded me to calm down and refused to pursue you, if not, I will definitely cut you .”

Zhu Gaoxu said honestly: "Yes, I know my mistake."

He had an aggrieved look on his face, and because he had lost a lot of weight, Zhu Di couldn't continue to get angry at this time, and then said: "We are all a family, and we must not have any quarrels with each other in the future. You and the prince are both my sons , when we were in Beiping, we were happy and harmonious, why is it that the three of us, father and son, have come to Beijing now, but it has become like this?"

"Hey, I'm just pointing to you two brothers. Fortunately, the prince has a gentle temperament. His elder brother still cares about your brother after all. If you do it again, you will really be inhuman."

Zhu Gaoxu bowed down and began to cry: "Father, I know my mistake. This time in the palace, I have been introspecting... I am so stupid that I trust others. It is a crime of death. I would rather give up To make amends, I implore my father to let my ministers lead an army of horses, and I would rather guard the Xuan Mansion and guard the border for the Ming Dynasty."

Seeing his sincerity, Zhu Di's expression softened.

When Zhang Anshi heard this, he became anxious.

Guarding the Xuan Mansion, don't you fucking want to learn from your father?

The King of Han was originally the prince, once he arrived at the border town, wouldn't the border soldiers approach him one by one?Once there is a change in Nanjing, with this guy's temperament, I'm afraid he will immediately raise troops to kill him.

Didn't you think you could change history?
At this time, Zhang Anshi smiled and said: "You can't kill a chicken with a sledgehammer. I have always heard that His Royal Highness the King of Han has the courage of a million men, but the King of Han is a prince and has a fief. What are you going to Xuanfu for?"

Anyway, if my brother-in-law doesn't want to be a bad guy, Zhang Anshi will definitely do it.

Zhu Gaoxu: "..."

After Zhu Di heard this, he was a little hesitant. The restlessness in the frontier was indeed something he was worried about.

Zhu Gaoxu said: "My son just hopes to share his father's worries."

At this time, Zhang Anshi interjected again: "But there is nothing wrong in the border town now, so naturally there is no need to work for the King of Han, ah... I am still a child, I may have said something wrong, please His Highness King of Han, don't be offended."

Zhu Di said, "Don't quarrel."

Han Wang Zhu Gaoxu wanted to say something, but in the end he obediently admitted his cowardice.

Zhu Di put his hands behind his back and said: "Look, you are quarreling again now, and I still count on your brothers to be harmonious and defend against foreign enemies together. thing."

When Zhu Gaoxu heard that his father recognized him as a general, he didn't know whether to be happy or sad. The throne is likely to be gone, but...it seems that his father recognized his command of the army. If he can control the world's army and horses, how can he Can you really be Li Shimin?

Zhu Di immediately looked at Zhang Anshi: "Zhang Anshi."

"The minister is here."

"You said something happened to Cheng Shanwei, but that Zhang Fu has already written a book, saying that there is nothing wrong with the calm and calm there, and I have ordered him to go to the Xuan Mansion. Of course, I don't mean to blame you. You are still young, these are just jokes. There is nothing wrong with that. Your uncles also mean the same thing in the Governor’s Mansion of the Five Armies, I hope you will be more cautious in the future, and don’t say what you shouldn’t say.”

Zhang Anshi was puzzled, could it be that what he saw was a lie?

Or, there was a problem with timing.

Thinking about it this way, Zhang Anshi was scared.

Zhu Di said: "You are young, and you already have many abilities, which are already very remarkable. You have done well in Guozixue. The marching and fighting needs to be tempered after all. You are still young."

Zhang Anshi said: "Yes, yes, from now on, I won't dare to talk nonsense anymore."

Zhu Gaoxu heard something, and said: "Yes, An Shi, marching and fighting is not an easy task. Being a general is similar to governing a country. You can make no mistakes. You can learn from me in the future."

Zhang Anshi didn't say a word.

At this time, Ye Shiha quickly stepped in, and said anxiously: "Your Majesty, all the governors of the five armies' governor's mansions are asking to see you."

Zhu Di frowned: "What happened again?"

Yi Shiha said: "It is said that there is an urgent military situation."

As soon as he heard about the military situation, Zhu Gaoxu immediately regained his energy, and it was time for him to play.

After a while, Qiu Fu and others hurried into the hall and saluted.

Zhu Di said, "Is there something wrong with Xuanfu or Liaodong?"

Qiu Fu raised his head, first glanced at Zhang Anshi with a strange look, and then said, "Your Majesty, the problem lies with Cheng Shanwei..."

When Zhu Di heard this, he was very surprised.

He exclaimed in surprise: "Chengshanwei, the Chengshanwei that Zhang Anshi said?"

"Exactly."

"Where is the report? Show me."

Zhu Di's face was serious.

Qiu Fu will present the report.

Zhu Di opened it, looked down, and saw that the newspaper read: "Fengtianyiwei Xuanli Wuchen, the commander of Jingyingdu Zhang Fuzuo said: I have ordered to Chengshanwei to clean up the army and horses. It will take more than half a month to arrive at On the thirteenth night of this month, I suddenly heard that outside the water stronghold, there was a sound of golden drums. Immediately, they led people to kill the bandits. Cheng Shanwei commanded Zhang Kuan to come to the enemy's formation in person, to disperse the number of bandits, and behead thirteen bandits, but the bandits were very stubborn and refused to disperse. We will not stop until dawn."

Zhu Di took a deep breath after watching it.

He didn't expect that there would be a large number of enemies in the sea, which was completely different from the previous pirate attacks.

Zhu Di continued to read: "On that day, the minister and Commander Zhang Kuan inspected and sank 23 pirate ships, captured eleven, mostly Japanese ships, killed more than 740 robbers, captured 8319 people, and captured some food, gold and silver. According to the interrogation by ministers and others, it is known that this thief is a murderous bandit in the East China Sea. He has traveled across the sea for several years. He came from Wa Island. He once attacked several counties and counties of Korea. Hundreds, countless plunders of food, this time the soldiers have enough food, and they want to become a mountain guard, and then go all out to raid several states around our Daming Chengshan Guard. Fortunately, His Majesty's sage, ordered the ministers to clean up the army and horses, and be on guard day and night, if not... a few days Being taken advantage of by thieves, Cheng Shanwei himself commanded all the officers and men under Zhang Kuan, who were overjoyed when they heard about the thieves, and did not care about themselves..."

The more Zhu Di looked at it, the more he felt incredible: "The thief of the sea... The thief of the sea... Damn, have these pirates reached such a rampant level?"

Zhu Di has been on the front line of Beiping for a long time, so he doesn't have a strong understanding of pirates.

In other words, this is full of people, but they don't really care much about it.

At this moment, he took a deep breath, and then his eyes fell on Zhang Anshi.

He said: "Do you know what is said in this memorial?"

Qiu Fu said: "Your Majesty, please show me."

Zhu Gaoxu was also anxious, and hurriedly said: "Father, there are thieves who dare to invade our Daming sea area, my son... my son can lead the army."

Zhu Di waved his hand: "I don't need you."

"Father, son..."

Zhu Di looked at Zhu Gaoxu with strange eyes, and said, "These pirates have already been caught and killed. In this battle, nearly a thousand thieves were killed, and nearly a thousand thieves were captured, and a lot of money and food were also seized."

After Zhu Gaoxu heard this, he felt a little disappointed, so he forced a smile and said: "Zhang Fu's ability is not small, he has made great achievements in this handstand."

"Is it Zhang Fu's work?" Zhu Di's eyes fell on Zhu Gaoxu: "The pirates on the sea are different from the enemies in the desert. The difficulty of the enemies in the desert lies in confronting them head-on. The enemies on the sea are often not many in number. But they can always harass our Ming Dynasty's weak coastal defenses at any time, so to defeat the enemy, the most difficult thing is not to defeat them, but to be able to control the enemy first!"
