Japan.
Japan.
When this thought appeared, Zhu Bai couldn't hold it in any longer.
Moreover, compared to South Vietnam, Japan's choice was undoubtedly much better.
Even though Japan was one of the fifteen countries that his cheap father had set up.
Of course, it was different from South Yue.
South Yue did not have enough reason yet, if he invaded South Yue, he would be slapping his father in the face.
However, Japan was a ready-made reason.
When the pirates were in trouble, he went to attack in the name of eliminating the pirates.
As the vassal king of the Ming Dynasty, he had the ability and the qualifications to do so.
As long as he submitted a petition to the Imperial Court, his father would most likely agree.
Once the expedition was carried out, it was naturally up to him to decide how to go.
Thinking of this, Zhu Bai was somewhat impatient.
Therefore, he did not hesitate. On the third day after Wang Qiuhao left, he submitted a letter to his father.
Then, they began to prepare for the battle.
As for the so-called preparation for war, it was naturally to build ships and recruit soldiers.
In the castle era, he could not build a gunship, but even an arrow ship was enough.
Of course, arrow boats also required gold. 100 gold was only enough for him to build three arrow boats.
But this was not a big problem.
Three arrow ships, plus the original five arrow ships, were enough to form the foundation for an expedition to Japan.
Don't forget, there was still the transport ship.
At this point in time, the idea of naval warfare had yet to prevail, and infantry was the key.
With the military camp, he could recruit soldiers endlessly.
Therefore, at this moment, he was mainly building transport ships and recruiting spearmen.
On the other side, the news quickly spread back to the capital.
When Old Zhu received Zhu Bai's request to fight, he could not help being stunned for a moment.
"What did you say?"
"Twelfth Brother wants to conquer the Wei Nation?"
In the room, Old Zhu was stunned when he heard his subordinate's report.
"Yes, Your Majesty. His Highness King Qiong said that the root of the Japanese pirates 'attack on our seas lies in the Japanese islands. If we can conquer the Japanese islands, it will be enough to make the Japanese pirates have no place to hide and no place to send troops.”
"Moreover, this is only an expedition, so there is no need to waste the money and food of the Imperial Court. Your Majesty can just give some appropriate support.”
An Embroidered Uniform Guard reported respectfully.
"You don't need money or food?"
Old Zhu was stunned again.
To be honest, Old Zhu did not care much about conquering the Wei Nation. Although he had established 15 countries that did not want to conquer, that was only because they were not a threat.
However, if the situation was reversed, he naturally did not mind making a move.
As for frowning, it was only because the northern expedition had already begun.
If they were to fight on the sea, Da Ming might not be able to take it.
It was just that he hadn't expected that Zhu Bai actually didn't want money and food.
"Your Majesty, His Highness King Qiong feels that the Wei Nation is just a group of farmers. Although the pirates are fierce, the Wei people are enough to intimidate them, and a few farmers can suppress them.”
The Embroidered Uniform Guard spoke respectfully again.
His words also made Zhu Yuanzhang react.
"Alright!"
"Hahaha, as expected of our royal son.”
"We will allow the Twelve to send troops!"
"How about this, Guangzhou Guard, if King Qiong has any needs, we will fully support you!”
Old Zhu ordered.
He did not hesitate at all.
But since he didn't need the capital's funds, Zhu Bai wanted to crusade against Japan.
Naturally, it was not impossible.
Not to mention, the constant invasion of the pirates had already angered Old Zhu to the extreme.
The so-called conquest was a good lesson for Old Zhu.
It was just that Old Zhu would never have thought that the so-called conquest that Zhu Bai was referring to was actually a different one from what he understood.
After he gave the order.
Giving Zhu Bai an unimaginable opportunity.
The news was quickly sent back to Qiongzhou Prefecture.
By the time he returned, nearly a month had passed.
In a month's time, Zhu Bai's preparations were basically completed. Eight arrow ships and twenty transport ships.
Each transport ship could carry 200 soldiers, and the 20 ships could carry 4,000 soldiers. Adding on the 1,000 soldiers from the 8 arrow ships, Zhu Bai had dispatched around 5,000 soldiers.
This was also the foundation of his government.
In the middle of Hainan Bay.
Zhu Bai lifted his feet and stepped onto the ship.
This time, he was prepared to lead the team personally.
Behind him was a dense group of soldiers.
Every single one of them was neat and orderly, and a solemn aura permeated the entire area.
After everyone boarded the ship.
He also announced his departure.
Nearly thirty ships set off in a mighty manner.
The target was the north.
Japan.
In the north.
Prince Zhu Di had already begun his majestic northern expedition.
Zhu Di led Fu Youde and others out of Gubeikou, reconnaissance learned that the Northern Yuan Taiwei Naier Buhua and others stationed in Yidu, so he led the army forward. It was snowing heavily at this time, and the generals wanted to wait for the snow to stop before advancing. Zhu Di believed that the enemy would not expect the Ming army to arrive and should take advantage of the snow to advance. The army advanced to Yidu, separated from the Yuan army by only a sand moraine, but was not discovered. Although he was heavily pressured, Zhu Di still wanted to outsmart him and sent his general Guan Tong to the enemy camp to persuade him to surrender.
In history, this time, Zhu Di's name would rise to fame and resound throughout the entire grassland.
In the south.
King Qiong launched a campaign that was enough to influence the entire East Asia.
However, at this moment, no one noticed the southeast.
Most people's attention was on the northern expedition.
Whether it was Old Zhu or the entire Ming court.
After all, compared to the Japanese pirates, Northern Yuan was the biggest threat to the entire Ming Dynasty.
The pirates could be solved by sealing off the sea, but Northern Yuan could not seal off the Great Wall.
As long as it continued to weaken, it would be the long-term stability of the entire Great Ming Dynasty.
Under such circumstances.
The ship was mighty and mighty, and Zhu Bai gradually arrived at the Japanese island.
