Chapter 340: Zhu Di's Knowledge of the Japanese Country (Part 2)

In the study of the Fusang Prince's Mansion, Zhu Di and Zhu Ci sat opposite each other. On the desk in front of them, there was a globe given to Zhu Ci by Lao Zhu. At this time, Zhu Ci's left hand unconsciously moved the globe, and he was also recalling what Zhu Di had just said.

Zhu Chuang used to pay much attention to this globe. Like Zhu Di, he was somewhat suspicious of the authenticity of the globe. However, since he came to Japan, Zhu Chuang has believed in the content on the globe. Not to mention anything else, many of the descriptions of Japan in the introduction book of the globe are correct, and even many places are not even known to the Japanese.

For example, the introduction to Li Jie's globe describes the Japanese. He said that the Japanese were cunning and cruel, fearing power but not being virtuous. If you want the Japanese to surrender, there is only one way, that is, to knock them to the ground and then step on their faces into the soil. Only in this way will they surrender. And the tougher you will be in the future, the more obedient the Japanese will be.

Zhu Chuang also personally tried the above method, but found that it was true. He even conquered a lot of Japanese people with this. And as long as you are stronger than Japanese people, they will maintain extremely loyalty to you, which surprised Zhu Chuang.

Of course, Zhu Di came to Zhu Chuang to discuss the small Japanese country with him, but was a land that was several times larger than the Ming Dynasty, which was the legendary America. What Zhu Chuang did not expect was that Zhu Di actually joined forces with Zhang Dingbian and others to prepare... No, it should have sent a fleet to find America.

"Since you have joined forces with Zhang Dingbian and others, why are you still coming to me?" Zhu Ren thought for a while before finally asking, at the same time, his left hand paused suddenly and stopped the rotating globe.

"America is so big, how can we swallow it just by relying on the two of us? Even if the entire Ming Dynasty is added, it is a drop in the bucket for America, so you don't have to worry about this problem. Now we are mainly worried that we are too small, so we want to attract more people in." Zhu Di rarely explained patiently.

"Then what do you need me to do? I won't let me enjoy the fruits, right?" Zhu Ren asked again happily. He was not opposed to joining Zhu Di and his team exploring America. After all, his ambitions are no worse than Zhu Di, and he has never taken it seriously.

"We are ready for the fleet and have set sail. You don't need to do any more effort. However, the fleet needs to follow an ocean current to find America. This ocean current just passes through Japan, to be precise, it passes through the eastern coast of Japan. Although there are Zhang Dingbian and others in Kyushu, it is still not enough, so we hope you can expand your power to the east as soon as possible!" Zhu Di also said very directly.

Zhu Di said that Zhu Cheng was not looking for America this time, but planning for the future. If we really can find America this time, we will definitely send more fleets to America in the future, and we will definitely pass through the eastern coast of Japan. If they can have more ports on the eastern coast, it will also provide more help to the fleet.

"I understand. You are afraid that after I occupy the entire Japan in the future, I will not be able to go to America under my nose. I still need my consent at that time, so I can just come to me for cooperation in advance, right?" With Zhu Chuang's intelligence, he immediately saw through Zhu Di's plan.

"Whatever you think, I have told you anyway, would you like to give me some good words?" Zhu Di did not deny that he would definitely not be able to avoid Japan if he wanted to go to America in the future. Judging from the current situation, Japan will sooner or later be Zhu Chuang's hand, so he convinced Zhang Dingbian and came to discuss the matter with Zhu Chuang himself.

"Of course I'm willing, but I have a condition!" Zhu Ren said happily.

"What conditions?" Zhu Di frowned, and he knew that Zhu Ren was definitely not so easy to pass.

"My people should also be in the fleet!" Zhu Chui immediately asked. He had heard Zhu Di say just now that although the fleet had set sail, it did not leave Kyushu Island, but instead ran into the fleet along Kyushu Island, so he could send his own people on the ship now.

"No, the fleet is full, and I am not the only one who can tell the fleet. Zhang Dingbian and others also pay for it. You want to send people to participate lightly now, it is impossible!" Zhu Di refused without hesitation.

The more people there are, the better. After all, this is just an exploration fleet, not a war in the Americas, so the fleet is not large. There are only two large ships and five small fleets, and there are enough supplies to be installed, and there is no extra room to install people.

"I won't send too many people. I just need to send two people to follow the fleet. After all, I don't trust you. If you find anything in the Americas and don't tell me, wouldn't I be too bad?" Zhu Chuang also said his reasons. Although he and Zhu Di have never dealt with each other, they are brothers after all, so they just say anything.

When Zhu Bi said that he would only send two people, Zhu Di's expression also relaxed. After thinking for a while, he finally nodded and said, "Okay, I can arrange the two people, but you have to know that going to sea is a very dangerous thing, and no one can guarantee his safety, so if your people die at sea, don't blame us!"

"Don't worry, since I dare to send someone, I will naturally be mentally prepared!" Zhu Chuang replied immediately.

Zhu Di was also familiar with Zhu Chuang's character. He knew that he was extremely suspicious and almost competed with his father. If he did not allow his people to board the boat, there might be problems with the cooperation between the three parties in the future. So the two discussed the details of sending people to board the boat. As for the candidate, it was simple. Zhu Chuang pointed two people directly from his ears, while Zhu Di arranged a boat to return to Jiuzhou, and at the same time brought a letter from him to explain the situation to Zhang Dingbian and others.

In the next few days, Zhu Di also stayed in Shijianguo for a few days, mainly taking advantage of this opportunity to visit Shijian Yinshan. In fact, it was called Yinshan, which was essentially a silver mine. It has been completely mined here, and millions of taels of silver are produced every year, which made Zhu Di very jealous.

At the same time, an extremely important thing in the Ming Dynasty was slowly unfolding, that is, the formal capital movement. As the Spring Festival passed, Lao Zhu finally issued an edict to the world to rename Jinling to Nanjing. At the same time, he would lead the civil and military officials of Nanjing to set off for Beijing to meet with Zhu Biao.
