Chapter 138 Chu Nan’s evil plan, a substitute plan for Zhu Yuanzhang!
"That makes sense! That makes sense! How could I forget about the Koreans?" After hearing Chu Nan's words, Zhu Yuanzhang smiled.
Li Fangji, the son of the Goryeo general, had previously said that he would work for Zhu Yuanzhang, and this was not just talk.
Thinking about it, Zhu Yuanzhang nodded directly, then looked at Zhu Biao: "Biao'er, make arrangements. Let the Koreans form an army to deal with the Nuzhen people within a month."
"I don't have much time to deal with the Nuzhen people now, but I don't want them to have an easy time, so I will let this Korean take my place and deal with them!"
"Your Majesty is wise!" After listening to Zhu Yuanzhang's arrangements, Chu Nan also expressed his opinion.
"However, Your Majesty should not completely trust and rely on the Nvzhen people. I suggest that Your Majesty leave an army behind to monitor the Koreans from behind and to take over the land occupied by the Koreans."
"We can't let the Koreans occupy the land of the Nuzhen people after they have conquered it. Wouldn't that weaken the Nuzhen people and create a powerful enemy, the Koreans? This is not advisable."
"That makes sense." After hearing Chu Nan's words, Zhu Yuanzhang immediately frowned. What Chu Nan said made sense.
He could use the technique of checks and balances to keep a balance between Nuzhen and Goryeo, or he could destroy Nuzhen, but he must never allow Goryeo to become strong.
"Pass on my orders." After thinking this through, he spoke directly.
"I have more than 60,000 men under my command, and I will only take 50,000 with me. The remaining 10,000 men will be under the command of Tang He. I will ask him to help me supervise the Koreans."
"The Koreans fought in the front, and he took over the land and equipment in the rear."
"Yes, sir." After hearing Zhu Yuanzhang's words, Zhu Biao took note of them and prepared to arrange them later.
"That's really thoughtful." After hearing their arrangements, the other princes couldn't help but shake their heads and sigh.
Every time they listened to Zhu Yuanzhang and Chu Nan's plans, they learned a lot, which was much more than listening to their previous teachers.
I would rather listen to Chu Nan and Zhu Yuanzhang’s one-hour lecture than listen to those great scholars talking about nonsense.
"By the way, Chu Nan." But just when they were shocked, Zhu Yuanzhang brows became worried again.
"You said that when I return to Jinling, how can I find out who is causing chaos in Jinling?"
Zhu Yuanzhang was very upset. This man actually made Empress Ma not want to stay in Nanjing anymore, but instead came to the grassland. So Zhu Yuanzhang must want to kill this man.
But how to check it is a problem.
Zhu Yuanzhang felt that if he returned quickly, the man in Nanjing would probably destroy all the evidence immediately. That would be very troublesome as he would have no way to investigate.
But if he went back slowly, that person's power would grow even greater, and he would do more things, which would be even more disadvantageous to him. How could Zhu Yuanzhang allow this to happen?
"Your Majesty, you actually know how to check it, right?" But after hearing Zhu Yuanzhang's words, Chu Nan smiled.
How could a man like Zhu Yuanzhang be trapped by such a problem? There are many ways to check, it's just a matter of finding out which method is more reliable.
"Ah?" But after hearing what Zhu Yuanzhang and Chu Nan said, the princes present were surprised and confused.
What is Chu Nan talking about? If the emperor had a solution, would he still ask Chu Nan?
"Hahahaha!" But after hearing Chu Nan's words, Zhu Yuanzhang immediately laughed.
"As expected of Chu Nan."
Then he glanced at his sons, and said speechlessly: "You guys are so interesting to talk to."
"I have also climbed up from a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood. How can I not be helpless when encountering problems? And after listening to Chu Nan's many vicious schemes, I have not made any progress at all?"
Thinking of this, Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Chu Nan with a proud expression.
"Chu Nan, my idea is very simple, that is, to return to Nanjing with great fanfare, but most of the journeys are slow, and I will travel light and secretly return to Nanjing quickly." "Use thunderous means, investigate personally, and catch them off guard!"
"So that's it!" When the princes heard Zhu Yuanzhang's words, they were surprised and suddenly saw the light.
It has to be Zhu Yuanzhang. This method is feasible. The emperor's carriage is decorated with great fanfare to confuse the people in Nanjing, making them careless and unable to destroy the evidence in time.
Zhu Yuanzhang himself secretly returned to Beijing quickly, so they had no time to react and destroy the evidence, and they were caught red-handed.
"Your Majesty is wise!" After hearing Zhu Yuanzhang's words, all the princes were happy.
Zhu Biao: "My Ming Dynasty has a father, it is a blessing for the country and the country!"
Zhu Chong: "No wonder father was able to stand out from so many heroes at the end of the Yuan Dynasty and defeat the Northern Yuan Dynasty. His methods are truly admirable!"
Chu Nan also nodded. The ability of Emperor Hongwu was definitely among the best among all the emperors in Chinese history.
Zhu Yuanzhang’s method is also acceptable, and Chu Nan just wants to recommend this method to Zhu Yuanzhang.
"Father!" But just when Zhu Yuanzhang was happy, Zhu Di remembered something and asked.
"But there is a problem with this plan. How does it take into account the safety of the emperor? Why doesn't the emperor send an envoy with the imperial sword to investigate this matter?"
"Let the envoy return to Nanjing quickly and secretly, and everything will be settled, right?"
"Yes." After listening to Zhu Di's words, the princes also felt that it made sense.
Zhu Yuanzhang secretly returned to Beijing, and he must have brought few people with him. How did he consider the safety issue? What if this person has great power and becomes desperate? Wouldn't Zhu Yuanzhang be in danger? Zhu Yuanzhang must not be in danger!
So it’s not quite reasonable for Zhu Yuanzhang to return to Nanjing by himself. It seems that Zhu Yuanzhang should arrange an envoy to return to Nanjing?
Just let the envoy go and investigate with the imperial sword. This way, we can have the best of both worlds.
After thinking about all this, the princes all agreed with Zhu Di: "Father, what Fourth Brother said is absolutely right. We should do it according to Fourth Brother's method."
No.
But after hearing their thoughts, Chu Nan shook his head.
The envoys are carrying the imperial sword and want to go back and shake the interests of those people? You think you are acting in a TV drama. If you are not careful, you may be eaten by them when you go back.
And who said that if Zhu Yuanzhang didn't go back with the main force, he would be in danger? No one would protect him?
"You are confused." Sure enough, after hearing what the princes said, Zhu Yuanzhang's face turned ugly and he directly retorted.
"Do you think I'm in danger without a large army? Did I set up my Jinyiwei for nothing? There are so many Jinyiwei, can't they protect me?"
"As long as I return to Jinling, will the Jinling Imperial Guards disobey me and harm me?"
"There is also the Imperial Sword, which is simply nonsense." Zhu Yuanzhang looked as if he was disappointed with his friend.
"What's the use of the Imperial Sword? If this person is a high-ranking official in Nanjing, what can I, an envoy, find out when I go back? It's a waste of time."
"This, this..." After hearing Zhu Yuanzhang's words, the princes realized how fantastic their imaginations were and could only admit their mistakes.
"Father, I am wrong."
"So, Father, your idea is..."
