Chapter 1292
"My lord, you must go now; matters of state are of utmost importance!"
Zhu Yuxuan responded softly, and then Wei Wu followed Eunuch Wang to the palace.
Upon entering the rear hall of Fengxian Hall, Wei Wu initially thought it would be another three-person game, but unexpectedly, he also saw Xu Da.
Upon seeing Wei Wu enter the hall, Zhu Yuanzhang immediately looked at him and said:
"You brat, you probably don't know yet! The Northern Yuan has already made its move, and I'm sure those smaller countries have followed suit."
Upon hearing Zhu Yuanzhang's words, Wei Wu immediately burst into laughter.
"I know!"
"you know?"
Upon hearing Wei Wu's reply, Zhu Yuanzhang was somewhat surprised, and then immediately said:
"Didn't Biao'er say you went to plant some rubber trees? We just got the news, how did you know?"
Wei Wu was about to answer when Zhu Biao spoke first:
"Yes, you got the news from Brother Mu Ying?"
"Ok!"
Wei Wu looked at Zhu Biao and slowly nodded, then spoke:
"After the planting was completed in Qiongzhou Prefecture, I went to Yunnan. With Brother Mu's cooperation, three thousand rubber trees were planted very quickly."
"Just as I was about to return to the capital after the planting was completed, a scout brought back news that Annam and the chieftains were invading."
At this point, Wei Wu looked at Zhu Yuanzhang and asked a question.
"Uncle Zhu, what is the situation at the border now? With new firearms in hand, we shouldn't be threatened by the Northern Yuan cavalry, right?"
Upon hearing Wei Wu mention this, Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhu Biao, and Xu Da all smiled.
Zhu Yuanzhang even patted Wei Wu on the shoulder and laughed:
"Not only will they not be threatened, but the Northern Yuan cavalry couldn't even get close to the gate before we drove them back."
"According to news from Beiping, after repelling the Northern Yuan attack, the fourth prince immediately led his troops out of the pass."
"The specific battle situation is still unknown, but judging from the military reports sent back by the fourth brother, he is confident of victory."
Upon hearing this, Wei Wu finally understood why Xu Da was also in Fengxian Hall today—it was because of his son-in-law!
That's normal, though. When Zhu Di visited before, he said he wanted to return to Beiping to guard the border.
He even specifically asked Wei Wu about mortars, presumably preparing to carry out the plan to launch a night raid on the camp with mortars!
Recalling his conversation with Zhu Di, and considering Zhu Di's current words, Wei Wu immediately spoke up:
"The battle situation will be fine. It won't be long before we hear news of Fourth Brother's victory in the night raid on the Northern Yuan camp."
Upon hearing Wei Wu's words, the three of them turned to look at him simultaneously, and then Zhu Yuanzhang spoke.
"You even know how to win? Did the fourth brother tell you?"
"Before leaving Beijing, my fourth brother drank with me and asked me about firearms, and also told me how he wanted to use the new firearms."
He then responded with a comment, and then Wei Wu spoke again:
"Let's not talk about that for now, Uncle Zhu. Since they've already made their move, we can have a legitimate reason to attack and go straight to their homeland."
"There are still too many countries on this land. Asia only needs one voice, and that is the voice of my Great Ming!"
Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao were already used to Wei Wu's way of thinking, but Xu Da was experiencing it for the first time.
So after Wei Wu finished speaking, Xu Da immediately turned to look at the Zhu family father and son, and gave them a sharp look.
"Has this kid always been this... radical?"
Although Xu Da did not speak directly, Zhu Yuanzhang, as an old comrade, could still understand the look in his brother's eyes.
After understanding the message conveyed by Xu Da, Zhu Yuanzhang returned the look with a glance.
"It's always been like this. This kid is more ruthless than us. At most, we'll confiscate their property and exterminate their clan, but this kid will destroy the country and wipe out the race!"
Receiving a look from Zhu Yuanzhang, Xu Da turned to Wei Wu again, his face full of strange expressions.
