Chapter 261 Zhu Yuanzhang wants to send Xu Da to attack Japan!
On the endless blue sea.
The water and the sky are the same color.
Not to mention the human figure.
Not half a bird could be seen.
Very monotonous.
Several warships sailed on the endless sea, and Ming soldiers wearing armor and holding sharp weapons stood on the deck. The Ming soldiers smelled the fishy smell of the sea on the tip of their noses. They had long been used to it and ignored it.
"Aha---!"
The soldier yawned.
Feeling sleepy.
"Our ship has been drifting at sea for more than a month."
"How long will it take to find Japan?"
“There is nothing but the sea all day long.”
"No fresh food yet."
"I'm tired of it."
The soldier complained softly.
Fortunately, Ye Xuan understood that people who sailed at sea all year round needed a balanced diet, otherwise they would easily get scurvy and other diseases, so he ordered the generals who sailed to have a balanced diet.
Storage-resistant meats are smoked into jerky and the like.
Also prepare some shelf-stable vegetables.
This prevented soldiers who were constantly at sea from contracting scurvy.
"Stop complaining."
“Our food is pretty good.”
"There's still meat to eat."
“Poor people want to eat meat, but they can’t.
The soldier next to him said.
These 17 warships were dispatched by Zhu Yuanzhang.
Zhu Yuanzhang ordered them to investigate the navigation line to Japan.
Investigate Japan.
As well as investigating the weather conditions in Japan, etc.
Be prepared to attack Japan.
Power room.
A shirtless boatman rowed the oar neatly under the command of the soldier.
They were sweating profusely.
The muscles were covered in sweat.
Exudes crystal light.
The power room reeked of sweat.
However, this group of people had long been accustomed to the smell and did not feel any odor at all.
Command room.
The generals and lieutenants looked sad.
More than a month has passed.
They have not yet found a route to Japan.
If you continue to delay.
They will definitely be held accountable by the emperor.
However, it's not that they want to delay.
It is really difficult for them to find Japan.
"call."
General Fu Qing stood up, exhaled heavily, and said, "I will go out for a moment."
He planned to go out on the deck to relax.
I was stuck in the cabin all day.
Still in such a low momentum place.
He felt like he was going to go crazy sooner or later.
Fu Qing opened the cabin, and a paper ball rolled down in front of his feet.
"who is it!!"
Fu Qing's eyes were as bright as a torch.
Scanning the dark corridor sharply.
There are lanterns on both sides of the dark corridor.
However, the lighting is limited.
A mixture of light and dark.
There was no one in the corridor at all.
"What's wrong?"
the lieutenants behind asked.
Fu Qing was confused.
Could it be a mistake?
But this paper ball.
Why did it appear suddenly?
Fu Qing picked up the paper ball on the ground and his pupils shrank suddenly.
This is!!!
Fu Qing was so excited that his whole body trembled.
"General?"
"General, what's wrong with you?"
The lieutenants noticed something was wrong with Fu Qing and hurried forward.
Fu Qing crumpled the paper into a ball again, stuffed the ball into his breastplate calmly, and said, "Nothing."
"I'm going to the deck."
He went to the deck without looking back.
The lieutenants were confused.
Looking at each other.
General, what's going on?
Fu Qing did not go to the deck, but returned to his room and lowered the door latch.
With his hands trembling with excitement, he took out the paper ball inside the breastplate and unfolded it again.
Inside were nautical charts.
Nautical Chart The Supreme Pure One clearly plots the route.
Weather conditions in Japan.
Defense plans, etc.
Very detailed.
Fu Qing was confused.
Who sent it?
Could this be anyone?
However, given the current situation, there is no doubt that there is fraud.
Just have to give it a try.
Otherwise, if the delay is too long, the emperor may be held accountable.
Fu Qing memorized this drawing in his mind, and then placed it on the candlelight.
The candlelight licked the paper.
Paper burner golden flame.
Tongues of fire burned.
More and more prosperous.
Fu Qing's dark pupils "reflected the dancing tongues of fire.
The paper was burned bit by bit.
Until the paper burns to ashes.
Fu Qing opened the lattice window.
Throw the ashes into the sea.
After doing all this, Fu Qing went to issue the order.
Diversion!
After that, everything went incredibly smoothly.
Fu Qing and others found Japan.
I figured out the route to Japan.
The weather in Japan was investigated clearly.
Military defense outside Japan, etc.
It's like divine help.
Then, Fu Qing's fleet quickly returned.
Return to Daming.
The moment Fu Qing's fleet docked at the port, a figure left quietly.
This figure was covered in black cloth.
There is a spider on the corner of the black mask.
Ye Mansion.
study.
The Snare Killer, covered in black cloth, returns to life.
"Yeah."
"The drawings, defense plans, weather conditions, etc. have been given to Fu Qing."
"Fu Qing burned the drawing?"
"That's good."
"It's just as I expected."
"Fu Qing is greedy for merit.
"Thanks for delivering it to your door."
"There's no way he doesn't want it.
"Just in time, it also helped us eliminate traces.
Ye Xuan flipped through the book and said without looking up.
His face was calm.
It seemed that everything was as he expected.
The Snare Killer admires him.
On the other hand, Fu Qing went to the palace to recover.
Inform Zhu Yuanzhang of all the investigated matters.
Zhu Yuanzhang is sitting in the main hall, wearing a bright yellow dragon robe. The dragon on the dragon robe is showing its teeth and claws, which is extremely powerful and domineering.
He looked delighted.
"good!"
"You did very well!"
"General Fu really lived up to our expectations.
"He is indeed someone we trust."
Fu Qing was praised a few times and was immediately overjoyed.
"The emperor praised me."
"Do things for the emperor."
"It's the duty of the last general 397!"
He thought to himself that he had done the right thing by hiding the drawings, giving all the credit to himself, and gaining the emperor's praise!
Zhu Yuanzhang complimented Fu Qing casually.
There were other things on my mind.
Ming Dynasty's navy was more powerful than Kublai Khan's navy.
Moreover, Kublai Khan's army was good at land warfare.
Water fighting is totally out of the question.
And their navigation skills were poor.
That's why they were defeated many times during the expedition to Japan.
But Ming Dynasty was different.
Ming Dynasty's naval technology came from Chen Youliang.
Chen Youliang's naval shipbuilding technology.
Navigation Technology.
But it leads the world.
Moreover, Ming Dynasty also built an invincible fleet.
Now that they have figured out the route to Japan, Japan's weather and external defenses, they don't have to worry about being caught in a typhoon or being defeated by Japan's terrain.
So many advantages.
Want to capture Japan.
Just a matter of time.
It's not that difficult.
Now we have figured out Japan’s routes, weather, etc.
Next we should send troops to attack.
So, who should be sent?
Zhu Yuanzhang thought of Xu Da.
He wanted Xu Da to be the commander-in-chief and lead an army of 80,000 to attack Japan.
Xu Da is the first general of the Ming Dynasty.
His military exploits were outstanding.
For attacking Japan.
It must be within reach.
However, Zhu Yuanzhang seemed to have thought of something and changed his previous thoughts.
A new edict was written.
Make Zhu Biao the commander-in-chief.
Xu Da is the deputy commander.
Attack Japan.
