After learning that Chen Zuyi had submitted to the Darming Dynasty and commanded the Darming Navy because he had been instructed by the Ninth Prince to do so, the Ninth Prince was shocked.
Zhu Yuanzhang and all the officials were shocked.
Zhu Yuanzhang could not help but exclaim,"Old Nine, it's actually Old Nine. How did he do it?”
In Zhu Yuanzhang's heart, Zhu Li was actually very ordinary. He even thought that Zhu Li had no talent.
Back then, he had sent Zhu Li to Xining Prefecture to become a vassal to train him.
Because Xining Prefecture was often harassed by the Xiongnu, they could train their abilities.
But what he had never expected was that after Zhu Li went to Xining Prefecture, he actually led a life like a salted fish.
What he didn't expect was that this guy's luck was so good.
The Xiongnu soldiers who often invaded the border of Xining Prefecture had actually become well-behaved after Zhu Li became a vassal. They did not invade the border of Xining Prefecture again.
And who was Chen Zuyi?
This guy was a pirate who had dominated the sea for many years.
Even the Ming army was helpless against the overlord of the sea.
Back then, Zhu Yuanzhang had sent two envoys to negotiate with Chen Zuyi, hoping that Chen Zuyi would submit to the Great Ming Dynasty and serve the Great Ming Dynasty.
However, he was ruthlessly rejected. Not only that, even the messenger was killed.
It could be seen that Chen Zuyi, who was a pirate, was a ruthless person. Even the entire Darming Dynasty was not in his eyes.
However, such a person was subdued by Zhu Li.
What was going on?
For a moment, Zhu Yuanzhang was completely confused and dumbfounded.
In the end, he decided to ask Chen Zuyi what was going on.
"Men, summon Minister Chen to the Hall of Heaven's Tribute to see us!" he said hurriedly.”
Not long after, Chen Zuyi appeared in the Hall of Heaven's Tribute.
"Minister Chen, let me ask you. Did you really agree to join the Ming Navy and serve us because of Ninth Brother?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked impatiently.”
Originally, under Zhu Li's instructions, he could not easily reveal his relationship with the Ninth Prince.
However, since the Golden Roll had already been announced, he could not hide it anymore.
He believed that the Ninth Prince would not vent his anger on him.
After thinking about it, Chen Zuyi nodded and said respectfully,"Yes, Your Majesty! This subject is indeed willing to serve Great Ming because of the Ninth Prince.”
Although he knew that there was a high possibility that this matter was true.
However, when Chen Zuyi personally acknowledged it, Zhu Yuanzhang still found it unbelievable.
Most importantly, when Chen Zuyi mentioned Old Nine, Zhu Yuanzhang saw fear and reverence in his eyes.
He frowned and asked curiously,""Minister Chen, are you afraid of Ninth Brother?”
Hearing this, Chen Zuyi's face revealed an awkward expression.
He was once a fearless overlord of the sea.
Naturally, he did not want others to know who he was afraid of.
But in the end, he still nodded and said,""Your Majesty, I only have respect for the Ninth Prince!”
All the officials in the court were shocked.
The former overlord of the sea, the current commander of the Ming Navy, was actually afraid of the Ninth Prince!
If it wasn't for the fact that these words came from Chen Zuyi's mouth, no one would have believed it!
"Heavens! A dignified pirate leader was actually afraid of the Ninth Prince! This is unbelievable!"
"That's right! If General Chen was afraid of Zhu Di, I would believe him, but he was actually afraid of the Ninth Prince. This is really unbelievable!”
"The Ninth Prince doesn't seem to be that scary. I wonder why General Chen is afraid of the Ninth Prince?”
The ministers couldn't help but whisper among themselves.
When Chen Zuyi heard what the officials said, a look of disdain appeared on his face.
He thought to himself, You know nothing about the Ninth Prince. The Ninth Prince's strength is beyond your imagination.
Chen Zuyi still felt a lingering fear when he thought about how his pirate crew had fought against the pirates led by the Ninth Prince.
They could be said to be vulnerable!
It was a nightmarish experience that lingered in his mind.
If not for that, why would he be willing to submit to someone else as the overlord of the sea?
In fact, Chen Zuyi himself did not know much about the ninth prince, Zhu Li. He only knew that his pirate crew could not withstand a single blow from Zhu Li.
He also wanted to know how strong Zhu Li was.
However, he knew that Zhu Li didn't want to reveal it, so he didn't dare to ask about it all these years.
When Zhu Yuanzhang heard Chen Zuyi say that he was in awe of Ninth Brother, he asked in disbelief,"Why are you afraid of Ninth Brother?"
Chen Zuyi naturally wouldn't tell them that their 1,000-man pirate team was almost wiped out by Zhu Li's 10 men.
Because that would be too embarrassing!
He thought for a moment and did not elaborate. Instead, he said,"Your Majesty, I only think that the Ninth Prince is very strong, so I'm willing to listen to him. There's no other reason!”
Hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang broke out in a cold sweat!
Old Nine was very strong? Why didn't he know?
Could Chen Zuyi have been deceived by Ninth Brother?
Although he thought so in his heart, Zhu Yuanzhang was a smart person. He naturally wouldn't say it out loud.
Because he was worried that Chen Zuyi would go back to being a pirate after he said it.
After all, this guy was a talent. Under Chen Zuyi's leadership, the Great Ming Navy had grown day by day, becoming the most powerful navy in all the dynasties.
As for what kind of fraud Old Nine used to trick Chen Zuyi into working for Great Ming, he did not care.
As long as he could attract such a powerful talent for Da Ming, that was enough.
Suddenly, he remembered that the border of Xining had never been invaded by the Xiongnu troops in all these years.
Could it be that Old Jiu used the same method to scare the Xiongnu soldiers?
At this moment, Zhu Yuanzhang had ten thousand question marks in his heart. He really wanted to ask his ninth brother, Zhu Li, how did he do all of this?
……
[Rankings rewards: A high-level strength pill for each member of the Great Ming Navy, a mystic grade intermediate cultivation technique, Turtle Breathing Technique, and a diving suit!]
It meant that one high-grade Strength Pill could increase a person's strength by 500 points. The Turtle Breathing Technique could allow the cultivator to hold their breath for 5-10 minutes. The diving suit could allow the user to move as fast as a fish in the water!
Additional reward: Great Ming Navy Commander Chen Zuyi's combat power on the water 600 points. Reward: 1 high-level warship!
The Darming Dynasty that belongs to it is rewarded with 60000 points of National Luck!
Once this reward was announced, it caused another huge commotion.
"Oh my god! Another Advanced Strength Pill for each member. Wasn't this reward too generous?”
"That's right! And this Turtle Breathing Technique, he could actually hold his breath for so long. This was too awesome!”
"Not only that, but their leader also obtained a high-level warship. With this, the combat strength of the Great Ming Navy will increase by at least ten times!”
"In this way, the Great Ming Navy's ruling power on the water will be even stronger! No one can shake it!"
Everyone was extremely shocked and envious of the Golden Roll reward this time.
Cao Wei, Ye City.
Cao Cao stared at the golden roll.
A moment later, he said with envy,""If my Cao Wei could have such a navy, we wouldn't have lost the Battle of Red Cliff!”
After so many years, Cao Cao was still brooding over the Battle of Red Cliff.
They clearly had the advantage in numbers, but they were not good at water combat, so they lost.
In Cao Cao's opinion, if they had a force like the Ming Navy, he would have defeated Sun Quan and Liu Bei long ago.
Where was the current Three Kingdoms?
……
Ming Dynasty, Fengtian Hall.
They watched as a golden light of national destiny sprinkled down from the Golden Roll and finally landed on the territory of the Darming Dynasty.
Zhu Yuanzhang instantly felt that the fate of the Darming Dynasty had strengthened a lot.
A moment later, he sighed and said,""60,000 National Fate Points is already so good. If only we could get first place on the Golden Roll! Who knew which empire would be the first?”
