My Brother-in-law is the Prince

  Chapter 98 Victory

  Qiu Fu and the others bowed and said, "Your Majesty, I'm waiting for a report here, and I would like to invite 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 at the side.

   Also lost his understanding, he 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 asked him to wait at Chengshanwei, and he became impatient."

  Qiu Fu and the three of them exchanged glances with each other, 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."

  Paused, Zhu Di said again: "But he is too anxious, and what 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 fuss. The three governors must have other purposes when they came together.

  Qiu Fudao: "I heard that a person who is respected and elder should love his children. It is understandable for Zhang Fu to want to make meritorious service. I think... this is just as it should be."

  Zhu Di listened, nodded and said: "Yes, I am afraid that Zhang Fu will be 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.

  There are so many children, and 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 It is not easy for ordinary people to learn.

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

  They remembered the past when they charged into battle, how they put on their clothes, led the army, and how they 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 Fudao: "Your Majesty, please calm down. The meaning of the ministers is... let's order Zhang Fu to leave as soon as possible. Since he wanted to make meritorious service at the border, he fulfilled his wish."

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

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

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

  Qiu Fu said: "Observe the order."

  Zhu Di frowned and remained silent.

  Seeing that His Majesty is 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 indeed frustrating. Ever since they entered the city of Nanjing, not to mention those children, even many generals have indulged in this gentle village.

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

"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?"

  The commander-in-chief Zhu Di mentioned is obviously not just talented people.

   After all, to master heavy troops and command killing and fighting, such a person 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 in his mouth: "I know that Your Majesty is angry with His Highness the King of Han, but in terms of commanding troops, I and these veterans are convinced."

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

   This Qiu Fu is really loyal. At this time, he still dares 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 Han Wang’s dog, he was fed to him... Thinking of Han Wang, 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, this kid, is so confused, hey... he is a fool."

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

  Immediately, I looked up and lost my mind: "Jin Yiwei, do you have any reports about the King of Han?"

  Yi Shiha said: "Beizhen Fusizuo, since the king of Han returned to the mansion of the king of Han, he has been staying at home, living 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. He heard that he lost a lot of weight."

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

  Then, Zhu Di looked at Qiu Fu and said, "You're not wrong. The King of Han does have good things. 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 Fudao: "In any case, the King of Han is also His Majesty's flesh and blood, and a 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 could admit his mistakes in front of the Crown Prince and Zhang Anshi, but if he is still stubborn , I will never forgive you."

  Qiu Fu felt a big stone settle down.

  Actually, 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 lifelong 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 the moment, he choked with sobs and bowed down: "My... 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 can already silently write the articles of 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 no 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.

  Zhang Anshi did not give up, and continued to overweight, 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.

   Even in my dreams, I was thinking about how to solve the problem and how to accept it.

  As the difficulty of the exam questions increased, it was the most painful thing 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 the test of candidates' kung fu. It is completely different from the simpler structure of the questions in the early Ming Dynasty. It is completely a product of the candidates after a hundred years later.

  If it is stated that the test questions in the early stage are addition and subtraction questions in elementary school, then this truncated question is equivalent to calculus.

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

   So much so that I can't even understand the title.

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 the current problem himself.

  But let Gu Xingzu do it?

  Of course, what surprised Yang Shiqi even more was that Zhang Anshi actually began to directly deconstruct the stereotyped essay.

  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 Anshidao: "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: "Shi 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, and we are just going to write it first as a respect."

  Yang Shiqi: "..."

  Thus, 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 only watched his teeth hurt, and 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 solemn, patted Zhang Anshi on the shoulder, and said, "It's been okay recently."

   "Very good! Where's 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 people in the exams are still very noisy, and there are also complaints among the officials.

   What he is most afraid of now is the situation in the Jianwen and Hongwu years. Southern candidates almost occupied all the places for Jinshi in the imperial examination, while 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 said with a smile: "Where, where, I think my knowledge is still a little bit behind. Although Master Hu Yan said that my knowledge is higher than his, 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 Your Majesty ask us to do?"

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

  When Zhang Anshi heard this name, he immediately lost his good mood. 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: "He is my brother after all, hey...just not sensible."

  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 temple.

  Zhu Di was already sitting in the Wulou, and 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)."

  ...

  Five Armies Dudufu.

  The fast horse from Chengshanwei rushed to the outside of the government office.

  This person is not only carrying 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.

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

  Five Army Dudu Mansion, four Dudu 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 having fun chatting.

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

   Now, 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 is your military situation?"

  Baihu Road: "Chengshanwei was attacked."

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

   They care about each other, but there are really thieves attacking?

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

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

   As he spoke, he took out the bamboo tube.

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

  Qiu Fu's complexion suddenly darkened.

  The more he looked, the deeper his frown became.

   Immediately, an incredible look appeared.

   "This... How is it possible? How is it possible... There are such a large number 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 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 was hit by the words." Qiu Fu said dumbfounded.

   "What do you mean, what does it mean?"

  Qiu Fu reported the report 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, we will be the governor of the five armies, and it 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, his heart moved, and he joined him.

   This look... 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 a thousand thieves, it is unimaginable. Has the enemy at sea reached such a point?"

   "What are you still waiting for? Enter the palace and have an audience. Hurry up and report the victory." Wei Guogong Xu Huizu said: "The military situation is so urgent that we can't wait for long."

  Everyone listened and felt reasonable.

  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 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 thinks about giving us a favor." Give me 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.

   Enemies at sea should not be underestimated, because they harass Daming coastal defenses, and Daming 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 Xu Huizu, the Duke of Wei, stroking his long beard and putting on an appearance that everyone looks 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 finishing speaking, he pretended to pat Zhang Anshi's head affectionately: "Yes, yes, the hero is a boy. If it weren't for Brother Zhang, the mother's body would be in trouble. Don't remember the past."

  Zhang Anshi was very upset when he held his head, and struggled to get 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 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 my merits." 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."

  Zhu Di's expression softened when he saw his sincerity.

  When Zhang Anshi heard this, he was in a hurry.

   Guarding the Xuan Mansion, don't you **** 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 think that you might change history?

  At this time, I saw Zhang Anshi grinning 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 to be unworthy, 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 hearing this, Zhu Di hesitated a little. The unsettled frontier was indeed something he was worried about.

  Zhu Gaoxu said: "My son just hopes to share the worries of the father."

  Zhang Anshi cut in again at this time: "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.

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, wouldn't 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 is a problem with timing.

  Thinking about it this way, Zhang Anshi was scared.

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

  Zhang Anshidao: "Yes, yes, I will not 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't make any mistakes. You can learn from me in the future."

  Zhang Anshi didn't say a word.

  At this time, Shi Ha 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 suddenly regained his energy, and it was time for him to perform.

  A moment later, 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..."

   Zhu Di was surprised when he heard this.

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

   "Exactly."

   "Where is the report? Show me."

  Zhu Di's face was solemn.

   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 did not expect that there would be a large number of enemies in the sea, which is 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 11, mostly Japanese ships, killed more than 740 thieves, and captured 839 people. , and obtained some grain, gold and silver. According to the interrogation of the ministers and others, we know that this thief is a murderous bandit in the East China Sea. He has been on the sea for several years. He beheaded and captured hundreds of North Korean soldiers and civilians, and plundered countless grains. This time, the soldiers were full of fine food and food, and they wanted to become a mountain guard, and then went all out to raid several states around our Daming Chengshan Guard. Fortunately, His Majesty, the Holy Spirit, ordered the ministers to purge the army and horses. , be on guard day and night, if not... the thieves will take advantage of it, and Cheng Shanwei will command Zhang Kuan and his subordinates.

  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 in fact, they don't pay much attention to 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: "Please show your Majesty."

  Zhu Gaoxu was also in a hurry, 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, nearly a thousand thieves were captured, and a lot of money and food were seized."

  After hearing this, Zhu Gaoxu 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!"
