Chapter 432 Staying on Sado Island
Hu Yunqiang's meaning was simple. He didn't want to just take the credit for exploring the path.
And the more valuable development work will be easily handed over to the latter's hands.
After all, he is only the second son in the family. If nothing unexpected happens, he will have no chance to inherit the title in the future.
If you don't take advantage of this excellent pathfinding mission, you can earn more merits for promotion.
Then his future achievements in the military, if he can become a partial general, will probably be unparalleled.
"General, let alone defending the island, even attacking the main city of the Japanese slaves is all a matter of your word."
"The third child is right. Now that you have an idea, just give the order directly. There is no need to say so much."
"Since gold can be mined and fields can be farmed on this island, it can be said to be a treasure land that must not be occupied by Japanese slaves again."
Several of Hu Yunqiang's confidants were the first to express their attitude of advancing and retreating with him.
However, he refused to rely on others and was only loyal to a few officers in the court.
Hearing this, he frowned and said, "General Hu, we should do whatever His Majesty orders us to do."
Now that Sado has discovered it, we will return immediately to find Shimane Prefecture on Honshu Island.
These words can be regarded as mature and prudent words.
But in the ears of Hu Yunqiang's confidants, they thought that these officers were deliberately trying to cause trouble.
Not only did he sarcastically say: "Aren't you just worried that the Japanese slaves will find out that the gate has taken over their island?"
"If a large army is sent to attack us, won't it be difficult to escape in the future?"
"If you are afraid of death, you are afraid of death. Why pretend to be loyal ministers? If you admit that you are weak, the general will not let you stay."
Several officers loyal to the imperial court immediately clenched their fists and stood up after hearing this.
Seeing that the two sides were about to start fighting, Hu Yunqiang quickly stood up and stood in the middle.
Then he scolded his confidants, "What nonsense are you talking about?"
"If you can't even recognize this, then let's take a boat back to Tsushima Island now."
After expressing his loyalty to Zhu Yuanzhang through the air.
Hu Yuanqiang then said to several officers who were about to return: "I have no intention of disobeying His Majesty's orders."
"It's just that this island is too important to our Ming Dynasty. If we abandon it directly, I don't know how many lives of soldiers will be lost if we try to occupy it again."
"So I want to take some people to stay on this island and wait for reinforcements, and try to occupy this island for as long as possible."
After hearing that Hu Yunqiang was not just for military glory, but also had longer-term considerations.
The officers who opposed staying on Sado Island now looked better.
The officer who led the advance army bowed his head to Hu Yunqiang and said, "General, we are not people who are afraid of death."
"Since you have said that occupying this island is beneficial to our Ming Dynasty, then you will be responsible for all subsequent arrangements."
If Hu Yunqiang hadn't led the advance army, there would have been consecutive battles starting from Yingtian Mansion.
These fierce warriors who have become angry may not be able to be vindicated so easily.
Hu Yunqiang unified everyone's thoughts before his eyes.
They immediately made arrangements for the follow-up matters of occupying Sado Island.
He left officers with higher status and soldiers with brothers at home, a total of more than 400 advance troops, on the island.
The remaining people provided food and fresh water.
Taking Hu Yunqiang's secret message and gold, he took a treasure ship and returned to Tsushima Island.
"Stop looking, call those Japanese slaves to build fortifications."
Hu Yunqiang looked at the treasure ship disappearing in the morning light.
Then he turned around and ordered his soldiers to drive the Japanese slaves to strengthen the defense force of Sado Island, so that they could find another island occupied by the Ming Dynasty in Japan.
When you are angry and send troops, you can hold on longer.
……
Zhu Yuanzhang, who had just come to court, did not know that Hu Yunqiang accidentally ran to Sado Island and did not want to leave.
After handling some government affairs, he prepared to retire. Suddenly a minister came out and said: "Your Majesty, I have something to report."
When Zhu Yuanzhang saw Wei Ting speaking, he looked familiar.
I thought this man was a diligent official.
Then he smiled and asked, "What do you want to tell me, my dear?"
"I want to sue His Highness the King of Qin."
Wei Ting shouted in a heartbroken tone: "His Royal Highness the King of Qin behaves cruelly and excessively."
"Yesterday, the magistrate of Nanyang County was hanged alive for no reason. Please ask your majesty to severely punish His Highness the King of Qin in order to calm the minds of hundreds of officials and people."
Throughout the ages, several princes have personally killed court officials.
In the impression of many courtiers, although Zhu Ping was tyrannical, he liked to fight and kill.
But his temper is not so domineering that he will kill officials at the slightest disagreement.
However, Wei Tingzhi spoke out the matter in court with firm words.
, obviously this matter is true, at least part of it is true.
Just when many people are still in a state of doubt.
An official of the Ministry of Civil Affairs has taken over his realm.
"Your Majesty, I heard that His Highness the King of Qin led tens of thousands of people to attack our county town of Ming Dynasty yesterday."
"This move not only ignores the laws of the Ming Dynasty, but also encourages the ambitions of those people who disobey the king."
"I am worried that if this matter spreads, the Dan people will become more rebellious and unruly. I also ask Your Majesty to severely punish those among the Dan people who deceive His Highness the King of Qin."
Obviously, the two men had discussed the key points of impeachment before going to court.
One specifically denounced Zhu Xi for his misconduct.
The other blamed the death of the Nanyang County magistrate on Zhu Ping being induced by the Dan people.
Anyway, the purpose is to destroy Zhu Xi, subdue the Dan people, and enhance the status of the Dan people.
There is also the cover-up of the Nanyang County magistrate's private sale of grain in the imperial warehouse.
Although the other courtiers did not know the plans of Wei Ting and others.
But after successive impeachments of Zhu Ping, they finally believed that the Nanyang County magistrate died at Zhu Ping's hands.
A feeling of sadness over the death of a rabbit spread instantly throughout the court.
Many courtiers who felt sorry for their colleagues expressed their opinions to Zhu Yuanzhang.
"Your Majesty, please quickly dispatch the captain to find out whether His Highness the King of Qin really murdered the Nanyang County Magistrate."
How could the school captain dare to investigate His Highness the King of Qin? I thought it would be better to send officials from the Ministry of Personnel to investigate the authenticity of what Lord Wei said.
"For today's plan, I really don't think it matters anymore. We should kill those people who deceive His Highness King Qin before this matter spreads to the world."
Zhu Yuanzhang heard that the important officials did not dare to say too much to Zhu Ping, but only dared to shout and kill the people.
He couldn't help showing a sneer and said: "No need to check, the Nanyang County Magistrate was indeed hanged by King Qin."
As soon as these words came out, the court fell into an eerie silence.
Even Wei Ting was stunned for a moment.
Because in his memory, Zhu Yuanzhang was an extremely protective person.
Not to mention, Zhu Ping is still his legitimate son.
In this case, even if it really happened.
Zhu Yuanzhang will definitely adopt a delaying strategy and find a way to wash away the stains on Zhu Ping's body.
Wei Ting jumped out to impeach Zhu Xi just to distract Zhu Yuanzhang from this matter.
At the same time, it will reduce His Majesty's favor towards Zhu Xi.
However, Wei Ting never expected that Zhu Yuanzhang would directly admit the matter.
This made him confused about the situation for a while.
