Ming Dynasty: The poisonous imperial teacher, Zhu Yuanzhang advised me to be kind
Chapter 183 Hu Weiyong thought one step too much and ended up being fooled by Chu Nan!
Chapter 183 Hu Weiyong thought one step too much and ended up being fooled by Chu Nan!
“grown ups!”
When Taro Kojima was discussing things with his men, a confidant came to report.
“Sir, great news. Someone from Taizhou said that the Ming army has withdrawn and Chu Nan has left!”
“What!” Hearing this, Taro Kojima couldn’t believe it and his eyes widened.
The Ming army withdrew? What’s going on? Then Taro Kojima can lead his troops back again?
“Yoshi!” He stood up immediately, his face full of excitement.
“The Ming army retreats, Chu Nan leaves, then there will be no one along the entire Ming coast who can stop my invasion!”
“Look at us as we charge back and rob as much as we can! This time we must rob as much as we can!”
“Yoshi!” The other pirate leaders were also very excited.
“We are going to massacre Taizhou. So many of our warriors died in Taizhou. Taizhou must be destroyed! We will use the lives of all Taizhou people to commemorate the souls of our fallen warriors!”
“Yes! We are going to massacre the entire Taizhou, and also rob the southeast coast of the Ming Dynasty of food, gold, silver, treasures, and women! Let them know that we are not to be trifled with!”
There was murderous intent in the eyes of these leaders. Upon hearing the news, they wished they could go back immediately and rob the Ming Dynasty.
Let the Ming Dynasty know how powerful they are and make the Ming Dynasty regret making an enemy of them.
“Kojima-kun, calm down.” But at this time, Hu Lu’s face became serious.
He looked at Taro Kojima with a frown on his face.
“Is this a trap? We still have to investigate. After all, Chu Nan and Zhu Yuanzhang are so cunning.”
“Hahahaha!” But after hearing Hu Lu’s words, many leaders laughed.
“Hu Sang, you are too timid, or are all you Ming people so timid? There are so many conspiracies and tricks. I think the Ming people can’t catch us and can’t afford the military pay, so they have to go back.”
“Yes, there are not so many conspiracies at all. Don’t worry. Let’s go back.”
“Hu Sang, you worry too much.” Taro Kojima also laughed when he heard it.
“How can there be so many tricks? And we are not that stupid. We were fooled once, so why would we be fooled a second time?”
But Taro Kojima thought that Hu Lu helped them after all. If it weren’t for Hu Lu, they would never have been able to leave Taizhou City alive.
Moreover, Hu Lu is the representative of Hu Weiyong and their financial sponsor. They must listen to Hu Lu’s opinions and cannot offend him.
So he looked at Hu Lu and said, “Hu Sang, let’s make preparations for both scenarios.”
“On the one hand, our army will set out directly and return to the island where we lived before.”
“The second step is to immediately send people to investigate whether there are any ambushes around Taizhou. At the same time, we will go to Jinling to contact Hu Xiang and see if Chu Nan and his men have returned.”
“If there is any doubt, we will return immediately, how about that?”
“Okay.” Seeing that Taro Kojima said so, Hu Lu had no choice but to agree.
After all, Taro Kojima has to support so many people. If he doesn’t let them go out robbing and just feed and drink them every day, he really can’t make a living.
Moreover, the reason why Hu Weiyong kept these people was to let them cause trouble for Zhu Yuanzhang.
If we stay at sea now, how can we create trouble? So we have to go out.
Hu Lu hoped that this was not a trap, or rather, it was a trap but could be detected in time.
The Japanese pirates thought so and then began to act.
The Japanese pirate army prepared supplies and quickly headed towards the coast of Ming Dynasty, eager to rob Ming Dynasty. Then the Japanese pirates’ intelligence personnel set out in advance and headed towards Ming Dynasty, wanting to explore the news around Taizhou and also wanting to connect with Hu Weiyong.
But Chu Nan’s plan is not so easy to break.
Taizhou is so big, isn’t it easy to hide 5,000 people?
Including the Japanese pirates’ intelligence personnel, there were only a few dozen people. After searching around Taizhou, they didn’t find any problems.
Those who went to Nanjing to investigate the situation were even more miserable. Many of them had their identities discovered by the Jinyiwei who checked along the way and were directly killed as Japanese pirates’ spies.
Some people who were lucky enough to escape the inspection of the Jinyiwei on the road were killed by the Jinyiwei arranged by Chu Nan after they came into contact with Hu Weiyong’s men.
Therefore, these Japanese pirates failed to accomplish anything.
However, Chu Nan’s actions aroused Hu Weiyong’s vigilance.
Jinling.
The secret room in Hu Weiyong’s mansion.
At this moment, Hu Weiyong’s face looked a little ugly.
Sitting next to him were Tu Jie and Chen Ning.
He looked at the two of them and said, “Have you felt anything uneasy recently?”
“I can always feel that there are eyes watching me. I have changed several groups of people around me, but this situation seems to still exist!”
“We have it too!” Tu Jie and Chen Ning also looked solemn.
“Prime Minister Hu, I also feel like there’s always someone watching me recently. It’s creepy and it’s hard to do anything.”
“Yes, I have thought of many ways to come to you in a reasonable way this time.”
“In this case, could it be that Zhu Yuanzhang knows something and is going to attack us?”
Hu Weiyong did not think it was the Japanese pirates, but thought it was Zhu Yuanzhang who did it and was going to attack him.
“It’s very likely!” Tu Jie’s face also turned ugly.
“Minister Hu, you want to deal with him, but he is a very powerful person. He may have known all this a long time ago, so he is ready to take action now.”
“And only His Majesty has the ability to mobilize so many surveillance personnel. These surveillance personnel must be the Jinyiwei.”
Chen Ning’s face turned pale: “What should we do? If His Majesty really takes action, we will be finished. We can’t compete with him now.”
Tu Jie thought of an idea: “How about we lie low for a while and do nothing to dispel His Majesty’s suspicion and let him withdraw those people?”
Chen Ning nodded when he heard it: “That’s a solution. Maybe His Majesty will let us go after seeing that we have behaved ourselves.”
“What are you two dreaming about?” But after hearing what they said, Hu Weiyong’s face turned ugly and he looked at them fiercely.
“Once Zhu Yuanzhang starts to suspect someone, will he ever stop? As long as he suspects you, you will die!”
“After all these years, you still don’t understand him?”
“This!” After hearing Hu Weiyong’s words, Tu Jie and Chen Ning also woke up as if from a dream.
Yes, Zhu Yuanzhang was a tiger and they were the prey. How could they imagine that the tiger would be merciful and let its prey go? It was simply wishful thinking.
Then they became anxious: “Prime Minister Hu, what do you think we should do now?”
