I, the grandson of the second emperor of the Ming Dynasty, earned 100 million taels at the beginning

"You bastard, you haven't even written a letter after being away for so long, do you still have my mother in your eyes!"

After helping Zhu Zhangui fasten his belt, Mrs. Zhang patted Zhu Zhangui angrily.

Zhu Zhangui, who was making eye contact with his wife, smiled awkwardly.

"I don't have time, don't I. I have traveled so far for thousands of miles. I just want someone to deliver a letter, but I can't send it back."

"Humph!"

Mrs. Zhang glared at him, and wanted to say a few more words, but noticed the eyes of the two daughters-in-law and the two maids beside her, and knew that this small family had a lot of things to talk about, so she didn't want to talk about it any more.

Instead, he pointed the finger at Zhu Pangpang, who was smiling beside him.

"Qi Rui, I asked you to take care of a child. Why did the child disappear in a blink of an eye?"

Zhu Pangpang spread his hands helplessly.

"Let the old man take it away, I..."

"Oh, what kind of child will the old man take care of? Don't annoy the child and annoy him. Let's go and have a look."

Before Zhu Pangpang finished speaking, Mrs. Zhang dragged him to the palace.

Looking at the couple walking away, Zhu Zhangui smiled.

He said to Zhao Linger and the girls: "Go back and wash up first, I haven't taken a bath for a long time, and I have to attend the celebration banquet tonight!"

Zhao Ling'er, who was looked at by Zhu Zhangui with unnatural eyes, blushed when she heard that Zhu Zhangui was about to take a bath.

That night, the grand celebration ceremony held in the palace lasted until midnight.

the next few days.

The Ministry of War and the Ministry of Etiquette were busy running around, constantly confirming and counting the military exploits of the soldiers.

On the fifth day of return, the old man held a court meeting and rewarded the generals and soldiers for their meritorious service.

Among them, Jiang Huai, the deputy commander of the Shenji Battalion, was named An Dongbo, and at the same time his position was promoted to the commander of the Shenji Battalion.

Zhang Xian, the vanguard general of the Shenji Battalion, was appointed as the deputy commander of the Shenji Battalion.

Yu Qian, a scholar who followed the Taisun for thousands of miles and went to war many times, was appointed as the governor of Yunnan and Guizhou because of his outstanding military exploits and good strategy.

In addition to Jianghuai, two other generals were knighted.

One of them is the left guard general of the [-] Battalion, and the other is the local guard Baihu.

Both of these two were cavalry officers who followed Zhu Zhangui for thousands of miles to attack. They charged forward in both battles and beheaded countless enemies.

The left guard general of the [-] Battalion, when he charged the Oirat barracks, because he did not keep up with Zhu Zhangui, he chose to lead his men to make trouble in the camp, dragging down many Oirat soldiers, and relieved Zhu Zhangui a lot of pressure.

There were hundreds of local guards. When Zhu Zhangui launched a raid on the herdsman camp, he led people to cruise outside and stopped the Wala people who escaped from the herdsman camp.

Except for these three people, the others are just verbal commendations.

No way, who made them have some cheating nephews.

Before going on the expedition, Zhu Di checked a large number of moths, and after considering the overall situation, the old man gave them a chance to exchange their lives with military merit.

So most of the credit they made this time is to offset the charges of cheating.

So this time they have made such a great contribution, they can only get some gold, silver and verbal awards.

Looking at the three people standing among the crowd and listening to Zhu Di's award, the others felt annoyed.

Damn, if it wasn't for those scumbags in the family, for such a big contribution this time, the title would at least be raised.

The more they thought about it, the more angry they became, and finally the generals made a decision in their hearts, and they must beat up those bastards again when they go back.

After the end of the Northern Expedition, the imperial court once again restored its previous calm.

In addition to welcoming the new year, the next thing is the canonization ceremony of Zhu Zhangui, the grandson.

The eighth day of December in the 12th year of Yongle.

On this day in Laba, Zhu Zhangui, the eldest grandson, was officially canonized as grandson.

His wife, Zhao Ling'er, was conferred the title of concubine grandson.

Ji Yun, the niece of Ji Gang, the Commander of the Jin Yiwei, and Yu Qingyao, the cousin of the governor of Yunnan and Guizhou, were made grandson concubines.

Hu Shanxiang, who has been serving as the grandson's daughter-in-law, was named a talented person.

"When are you going to leave? Xia Yuanji is crying poor with me every day, and Xie Jin has been urging for money these two days."

In the old man's study room, the old man with his great-grandson in his arms looked at Zhu Zhangui who was crawling on the imperial eucalyptus, frowning and correcting the memorial, and asked when Zhu Zhangui planned to start planning.

Since Zhu Zhangui officially became the grandson, in order to let the eldest son have more rest, the old man threw the government affairs to Zhu Zhangui again.

As for him, well.

He has to take care of his great-grandson and doesn't have so much time.

After correcting the memorial in his hand, Zhu Zhangui rubbed his wrist and replied.

"Let's start spring next year!"

"Li Hu has already reported to me. After a year of fighting against the Japanese pirates, they have figured out the approximate location of the Japanese pirates. They plan to completely wipe out the Japanese pirates in April next year. I plan to start at that time."

The old man nodded, handed the sleeping little guy in his arms to Nainiang next to him, walked to the hanging map, looked at the location of Wa Island and said: "This place is very evil, Meng Yuan sent soldiers several times , were blown back by the strong wind, so be careful when you do it."

Zhu Zhangui smiled confidently.

"Don't worry, old man, I've been at sea for so many years, and it's not for nothing."

The old man nodded Zhu Zhangui, "Don't be careless."

"By the way, I heard Xia Yuanji say that you told him that there are three crops of grain in the south, and people there just throw some seeds in the ground, so they can't eat all the grain every year, right?"

Ever since Zhu Zhangui talked about money and food with Xia Yuanji, this old guy has been thinking about it every day.

When Zhu Zhangui came back from Shandong, he wanted to ask Zhu Zhangui when he would bring the grain and silver back.

As a result, Zhu Zhangui wanted to supervise the country later, so he had no time to take care of this matter at all, and kept asking him to wait.

As a result, it took nearly a year to wait.

Now that Tobe is so empty that he can run away mice, Natsuhara Kina is in a hurry.

He wanted to ask Zhu Zhangui to bring it up again, but he couldn't see Zhu Zhangui's people at all.

Zhu Zhangui didn't appoint the old man who supervised the country this time, but just helped the old man deal with the memorial, so he didn't need to meet foreign ministers.

In addition to this period of time, Zhu Zhangui ran to the artisan camp whenever he was free, and Xia Yuanji couldn't find anyone.

In the end, he couldn't wait anymore, so he found the old man directly, and wanted the old man to remind Zhu Zhangui that the promise of the debt should be repaid.

"There is indeed a place!"

After the old man mentioned this, Zhu Zhangui remembered that when he went to Shandong for disaster relief last year, he had promised this to Xia Yuanji.

He was so busy during this time that he forgot about it.

Thinking of Xia Yuanji who had a grieving expression on his face, Zhu Zhangui smiled awkwardly.

Walking to the old man's side, Zhu Zhangui rummaged through a lot of maps next to him, found a simple map he drew back then, and hung it in front of the two of them.

Pointing at the position of A Sanguo, Zhu Zhangui said with a serious expression: "Grandpa... this place is a big piece of fat. Not only is it rich in products, but it can't even finish eating. If we take this place, at least we can eat it." Continuing the fortune of the Ming Dynasty for another hundred years."

"More importantly, this place is very easy to fight, and the people here are also very servile. As long as we capture this place and master their beliefs, this place will be our Daming's money bag, which is inexhaustible and inexhaustible. !"

"As far as I know, they are now divided into two countries, called the Delhi Sultanate and the Tugluk Dynasty."

"Now that they are fighting fiercely, it is a good opportunity for us to make a move. When we help them get rid of the chaos of war, these assholes may treat us like a savior!"

Although the old man didn't know what Ah San meant, he had heard of it in India.

The old man vaguely remembered that not long after he took the throne, a monk who claimed to be from there paid tribute to five golden Buddhas, and he even built a temple for him.

According to the location of this place on the map, it should be in the southwest direction of Wusi Zangdusi.

It's just that Wusi Zangdusi is a plateau, and the Central Plains people can't adapt to the environment there. The Ming Dynasty only occupied it in name, and the actual management and rule were still handled locally.

"If I remember correctly, our Daming's Buddhism should have come from here!"

Looking at the location of India, the old man remembered the source of Buddhism that the old monk told him.

Zhu Zhangui nodded and introduced.

"It is indeed from here, but after our localization, it is very different from them."

"Master Xuanzang of the Tang Dynasty came to them to learn scriptures."

The old man pinched his beard and squinted at India's position.

"It's really rich here, and there's really a lot of food."

Zhu Zhangui nodded affirmatively.

"Grandpa... here is richer than you imagined, and there is more food than you imagined."

Zhu Zhangui's affirmation, the old man naturally believed it.

His grandson has seen the big scene, saying that this place is rich, and that there is a lot of food, there must be nothing wrong.

Looking at the map while pinching his beard, thinking of the starving people in the country and the money-seekers from various places, the old man's eyes became colder and colder, and finally he punched him.

"Since our Da Ming needs it, then he should belong to our Da Ming's territory."

Chapter 160: Take the little days first, then beat the third brother.

It's so impolite not to mess with Brother Asan after making a fool of himself.

When he was overseas, Zhu Zhangui wanted to take advantage of the civil strife between Ah San and him.

It's a pity that the troops in hand are not enough, coupled with Zheng He's earnest persuasion, Zhu Zhangui can only regret that he has no idea to hit Brother Ah San for the time being.

Now that he has returned to Daming, he has gained the trust of the old man and has power in his hands.

Zhu Zhangui is going to decide on this jewel in the queen's crown.

In the future, it will be the pearl of Ming Dynasty, the inherent territory of China.

"How many troops do you need?"

After confirming that he wants to take Ah San's territory, the old man must determine how many troops Zhu Zhangui will use.

After all, he had to fight three countries in a row, and the number of troops dispatched was small. He was afraid that Zhu Zhangui would not be able to take it down. If he was defeated again by then, it would be embarrassing.

Staring at the territory map of Xiaotian and Brother Asan, Zhu Zhangui pondered for a long time, and said the troops he needed.

"I need to expand the strength of the Ming Dynasty Navy to about 3 ships. I also need 7 marines and 15 army troops. The total strength is about [-]."

"Combined with civil servants and logistical issues, the number of troops and numbers to be used will be about 30!"

"30 million!"

Hearing this number, the old man frowned and thought about it.

Using such a large force, it is impossible to hide the truth from the elders of the imperial court.

Without the cooperation of the six parts, it would be a problem to supply Zhu Zhangui.

"You go back and prepare. Tomorrow I will gather people together. Let's discuss how to fight and what reason to fight."

Zhu Zhangui knew very well in his heart that if he lived alone, his pirate plan would be enough.

After all, I was just robbing money in the past, and I haven't planned to take over the territory of Little Days yet.

But Brother Ah San's side is different.

He intends to completely occupy Brother Asan's side, and then build it into a springboard for the Ming Dynasty, a supply base for the Ming army, and assist the Ming army to occupy a larger land.

Since he intends to occupy it for a long time, it is definitely not enough to rely on his strength alone.

So he needs the full help of the court.

If you want the court to help you with all your strength, you can't just talk to the old man.

Dad Zhu Pangpang's side, and the Sixth Department's side have to persuade them to fully support their plan.

There is no problem with the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Accounting.

Lu Xin was promoted by Zhu Zhangui, and he was one of his own.

As long as that guy Natsuhara Kichi can fill the household, let alone beating a third brother, he will fully support him even if he goes to war with the whole world.
