: Looking forward to it

Day flashed in the blink of an eye. On the day when Ma Sanbao followed Zheng He to the expedition, Zhu Ye did not go to see him off.

Although Ma Sanbao looked forward to it, he left the imperial city with regret.

Ma Sanbao felt that Zhu Ye was blamed for him, but he still felt that he should stick to what he decided.

Although he was able to show off his skills by Zhu Ye's side, his ambition was not about engaging in business.

Zhu Ye can understand him, but he is grateful. If Zhu Ye cannot understand him, he will not have any delusions to force him.

What Ma Sanbao didn't know was that Zhu Ye didn't go to see him off, but just simply didn't want to see Zheng He.

Zhu Ye felt that since he had entrusted Ma Sanbao to Li Jinglong for care, he naturally no longer had to worry.

It doesn't make any sense whether he gives it or not.

Recently, Zhu Ye is busy cleaning up his treasures in Yaoshan.

Since Zhu Gaosui took care of him for ten watermelons last time, his Yaoshan has not been able to escape Zhu Gaosui's clutches.

The naughty child came to ask for something to eat every few days.

Not only did he eat, he also had to eat and take it, which was called "going back to honor his grandfather."

Zhu Gaosui's grandfather took advantage, but Zhu Ye's grandfather still hasn't been able to eat it.

So Zhu Ye, who worked hard under the hot sun, is ready to prepare all the fruits and vegetables that will honor his grandfather today.

He thought that his grandfather hadn't come for a long time. If he didn't come today, he would have to go to the Five Army Capital Mansion to take a look.

After packing up his things and returning home, before the door of Lan Yuliang Duke's Mansion, Chang Sheng's broken gong sound had already passed through the open door.

"Have you heard that? Have you heard that Prince Cao won the Grand Priest and fought a beautiful battle when he came up."

"Old Lan, whether to say it or not, the ability of the prince of Duke Cao's family can still be bragged for a few days."

Chang Sheng's complacent voice in the courtyard was heard by Zhu Ye.

Did you win the first battle? Zhu Ye's mouth was slightly raised unconsciously.

It seems that the situation at sea is not as dangerous as I imagined.

"Hey, Zhu Ye is here?"

Because Lan Yu faced the gate, he noticed Zhu Ye's figure at first sight and hurriedly called out.

"Hey, my nephew."

Perhaps because of his happy geography, Chang Sheng suddenly rushed to Zhu Ye's side and hugged Zhu Ye to Lan Yu's side.

"You don't even know that the one named Ma Sanbao next to you is really capable."

"I heard that he and Prince Cao suggested to find out where these pirates were in their nests, so they suddenly attacked and took their nests while they were unprepared."

"If you lose your garrison, you will probably not be able to jump for a few days."

The excitement in Chang Sheng's tone was expressed without reservation at all.

When Zhu Ye heard this, he was not as happy as Chang Sheng expected. Instead, he had a little sad look on his face.

"What?"

Chang Sheng was surprised by Zhu Ye's reaction, and he didn't know what Zhu Ye was upset about.

"Old Chang, shut up."

Seeing Zhu Ye like this, Lan Yu knew that Zhu Ye must have an idea in his heart, so he quickly interrupted Chang Sheng.

"What are your concerns?"

Lan Yu was not as fussy as Chang Sheng, and looked straight at Zhu Ye.

He knew that Zhu Ye always had special opinions on some things, and some opinions were not even enough for him, a person who had fought all his life.

So Lan Yu couldn't wait to hear what Zhu Ye would say in this way.

"General Chang didn't know that pirates were no better than soldiers on land. They lived by the sea and would never be stationed in one place."

"They are like nomadic peoples, and they will repair wherever they go."

"The only difference is that nomads are constantly looking for places with abundant grasslands, while these pirates are shooting and changing places."

"There are scarce resources at sea, so they can't stay in one place and stay still."

"So, even if this mission is to wipe out pirates, it will be only a temporary move."

"The cunning rabbit has three holes. Even if General Li and the others really take over the pirate's nest, it is just one of the three holes."

"On the contrary, if General Li and the others are not vigilant and prepared enough, they will be overwhelmed by these pirates and make a comeback."

Lan Yu agreed with what Zhu Ye said.

Although he had never experienced naval battles, just the information he had made him know that what Zhu Ye said was true.

Although I don’t know why this young boy in front of me can be very broad, Lan Yu’s appreciation for Zhu Ye from the bottom of her heart is not fake at all.

"I hope they can see through this layer and do not cause any irreversible consequences."

Zhu Ye stared at the southeast horizon and sighed.

"According to what you mean, this war will not end in a short time?"

Zhu Ye's words are easy to understand, and even Chang Sheng can understand them.

Originally, Chang Sheng thought that since he won the first battle, compared to the fact that these pirates were beaten to death, he also realized that the Ming Dynasty was invincible.

This war may be able to be decided quickly, which will make the rampant thieves at sea and dare not invade.

Now that I have heard Zhu Ye’s explanation, Chang Sheng has also come back to the point and knows that this war is not as quick as he imagined.

"Since ancient times, where has there been a quick war?"

"Although the Ming army has an overwhelming advantage among the two forces."

"But naval warfare is not what I, the Ming soldiers, are good at. In addition, the living habits, natural environment and many factors in Shanghai are not good for us."

"If we have no advantage in this situation where the right time, place, and people and us are not at the forefront, it would be great to win a battle. General Chang should not expect them to be able to fight quickly."

Zhu Ye was a little helpless. He didn't dare to hope that Ma Sanbao and the others could return soon.

He only hopes that these soldiers who went on missions to the southeastern waters will suffer less losses and return to victory.

In fact, Zhu Ye himself dared not think deeply.

It’s like a naval battle, the climate is still good now. If you really encounter any bad weather, you don’t know how the soldiers on the sea will survive it.

"At most, it's just autumn. Even if the pirates cannot be eliminated, I'm afraid the emperor will summon them back to the city."

Lan Yu followed Zhu Ye's gaze and then explained.

"Yes, it's cold, so I can't stay at sea."

Zhu Ye knew why Lan Yu was so sure.

When the weather is autumn and the temperature drops, the Ming generals led by Li Jinglong will definitely not be able to continue to adapt to the sea environment.

At that time, the emperor will definitely summon them back.

Otherwise, those people will be dead when they stay at sea.

Chang Sheng stood between the two, looking at Zhu Ye on the left and Lan Yu on the right.

I also didn't know that I was here to deliver good news, so why did they make the two of them feel sad together for nothing?
