Chapter 509 Why was Hu Weiyong sent to conquer Tianzhu? Next door, in the secret room. Zhu Yuanzhang because of what Lin Che said. I walked back and forth excitedly for several times. He clenched his fists and said, "Tianzhu, we want to conquer Tianzhu." There was no room for Zhu Yuanzhang not to be excited. It occupied a land that was second only to the Ming Dynasty, and it was all fertile land. A country that not only did not resist in the face of conquest, but also found legal principles for its rule. It's like a mass of fat and thin meat. If you don't swallow it into your stomach. Aren't you sorry that Lin Che gave Ming a good opportunity to easily expand its territory? Liu Sanwu was also very excited.

If he makes no mistakes in his career in the future. When the Ming Dynasty conquered Tianzhu, he should also be sitting in the position of the chief assistant of the Ming Dynasty. Develop a territory as huge as the Ming Dynasty. I'm afraid that in the history books, his future chief assistant will be praised on par with Jiang Ziya and Zhuge Cheng! However, Liu Sanwu was very excited, but he still maintained the minimum sense of reason. He admonished Zhu Yuanzhang: "Your Majesty, now that the Northern Yuan Dynasty has not been destroyed, it will probably not be easy to conquer Tianzhu through the grasslands." "Sea transportation requires a large number of ships and many coastal strongholds to store food, which our Ming Dynasty does not have now." "Furthermore, you have said several times that you want to conquer the Japanese country. It is not the way for a king to change your orders early and late. I ask your Majesty to think twice before taking action." The prospect described by Lin Che was very beautiful. The problem is that the Ming Dynasty has not yet completely conquered the Northern Yuan Dynasty. Most of the battleships and treasure ships were also taken to Treasure Island by Tang He to transport gold and silver mines. If you want to attack the nearby Japanese country, you have to build new ships. Not to mention conquering Tianzhu, which is further away, hundreds of warships would need to be built. Ming Dynasty has just become financially wealthy. But it still cannot afford such a huge shipbuilding plan. "Hahaha, Ai Qing is right, the Japanese slaves must be conquered first, then the Ming Dynasty will have the power to conquer Tianzhu!" Zhu Yuanzhang was not angry at all at Liu Sanwu's dissuasion, but instead laughed loudly. Because he suddenly discovered that Lin Che was already in Japan, giving Ming a way to attack Tianzhu. The road Zhu Yuanzhang mentioned was the Japanese Golden Mountain and Silver Island mentioned by Lin Che, as well as the Treasure Island occupied by Tang He.

This is a machine that can print unlimited money in the future of Ming Dynasty. It is also the source of various ordnance warships. Thinking of this, Zhu Yuanzhang sincerely admired Lin Che's foresight that was beyond ordinary people. If you were an ordinary person, you would know that Japan has a huge amount of gold and silver. It will also be recommended to fight Tianzhu first. After all, it is the normal choice for people to eat the meat that can be eaten in their mouths first. However, Tianzhu seems to be able to fight it off. But it is at an awkward distance from the Ming Dynasty. Although it is not very far, the consumption of food and grass along the way is absolutely astronomical. If the Ming Dynasty attacks Tianzhu first, it might be overwhelmed by the supply line. But let’s start with the Japanese country, which is difficult to defeat. The early Ming Dynasty may be a little more difficult, but as long as you win the golden mountains and silver islands. You will be able to obtain the situation where the trapped dragon ascends to heaven. Just when Zhu Yuanzhang was thinking about Lin Che's foresight. Next door, the mansion. Zhu Chong's blood boiled with excitement as he listened to Conquer Tianzhu's words. Suddenly a question came up: "Sir, tell me, if Ming Dynasty wants to conquer Tianzhu, who should be sent as a general?" Zhu Bai, who thought Lin Che was bragging and was about to doze off, pinched his calf hard when he heard Zhu Ping's question and quickly cheered up. However, Lin Che gave an answer that was beyond everyone's expectations. "Tianzhu is full of soft persimmons. Sending Tang He, the Duke of Xin, is overqualified. I think it will be enough to send Hu Weiyong with some generals from Huaixi." Zhu Xi's eyes widened and he said: "Tianzhu is a land comparable to the Ming Dynasty. Hu Weiyong is now dissatisfied and wants to rebel at all times..." Lin Che interrupted him angrily, and Zhu Ping stammered. He didn't care at all and said: "It is precisely because Hu Weiyong and some Huaixi nobles have the idea of ​​​​rebellion, so they want him to fight against Tianzhu." "And it's not just Hu Weiyong, but all the Huaixi nobles who are dissatisfied with His Majesty, either harming the people, or supporting His Majesty." "Everyone pack up and join the team to attack Tianzhu." Zhu Fang heard what Lin Che said and wanted to join the Huaixi nobles in the army to conquer Tianzhu. I can't figure out what my husband's intentions are at all. He could only ask tentatively: "Sir, you also know that Hu Weiyong wants to rebel, but many nobles in the army and Huaixi do not listen to him." "But if he is given the opportunity to command the three armies and deal with weak troops like Tianzhu, wouldn't he be able to gain prestige in an instant?"

"In the future, if he returns to the Ming Dynasty with the power of victory to disrupt the situation, let alone the colonization of Tianzhu in the Ming Dynasty, I am afraid that the world will be in chaos in an instant." There was no way, who knew that Hu Weiyong was forced by his father to rebel, and his father pretended to be confused with the understanding in his heart. However, Zhu Yuanzhang still imposed various surveillance and restrictions on Hu Weiyong. But if it is sent to attack Tianzhu, these restrictions will become invalid in an instant. Maybe, Hu Weiyong doesn't care about Tianzhu at all. After gaining the right to command the army, he might turn towards Yingtian. I saw Zhu Xiang's entangled expression as he coveted the land of Tianzhu and was afraid of Hu Weiyong's rebellion. Lin Che couldn't help but laugh and said: "If Hu Weiyong had such a decision, he would have rebelled long ago when His Majesty betrayed his faith." "It is impossible for him to truly rebel in his entire life. It is most suitable to send him to attack Tianzhu." Facts have proved that Hu Weiyong was always played like a monkey by Zhu Yuanzhang, and even in the end he did not dare to really rebel. Zhu Fang didn't know why Hu Weiyong didn't dare to rebel, but he believed that Lin Che would not joke about this kind of thing, but he was still a little confused and said: "Sir, even Hu Weiyong will not rebel." "But it's not like our Ming Dynasty doesn't have generals who are good at fighting. They can fight far more than he can." "He is just a civil servant, why do you have to let him go to conquer Tianzhu?" "Haha, whether Hu Weiyong can beat him or not is not the key." "The most important thing is his identity, which played an extremely important role in the colonial policy after the conquest of Tianzhu." Lin Che patiently taught Zhu Ping who had fallen into misunderstandings. After eating a few edamame, a seemingly unrelated question came up. "Do you know what era it is now?" The topic jumped too much, and Zhu Xi was suddenly confused. He recalled Lin Che's previous lectures. He said in an uncertain tone: "Sir, is this the beginning of the Age of Discovery?" Lin Che shook her head. He smiled and said: "You kid, think about the problem and don't follow the script. The Age of Sail is just a representation. What is really hidden behind it is not as simple as maritime trade." Zhu Xi remembered the reasons why colonization was needed that Lin Che had mentioned before. Some realization suddenly arose in my heart. (End of this chapter)
