My Pen Pal Zhu Yuanzhang

Chapter 163: Rebirth from the ashes

When the scene came to the Northeast, the den of the epidemic prevention and water supply troops, Daoyan's heart, which he thought was strong, could no longer bear it. He let out a "wow" and vomited.

After vomiting, he didn't care about the filth on his mouth and clothes. He fell to his knees on the ground with a plop, and used all his strength to let out a deafening howl.

"what!!"

He roared and shouted without restraint. The sharp and piercing screams were filled with endless resentment and anger in his heart!

When the Jinyiwei outside the house heard the noise, they immediately ran in, holding embroidered spring swords, looking at Daoyan viciously, and surrounded him one by one, ready to take him down.

However, Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand, signaling the Jinyiwei to go out. The Jinyiwei looked at each other, all confused. Since His Majesty had given the order, they could only go out of the door, but they all stayed outside the door, paying attention to the movements in the house at any time.

The person inside is His Majesty. If anything happens, they will be guilty of the death penalty.

After venting his resentment, Daoyan looked ahead with blank eyes, and suddenly, he burst into tears again.

"They are a bunch of beasts, their behavior is worse than that of evil spirits, they must all die, all of them must die!"

He kept slapping the ground until his hands were red and swollen and he was unconscious. He spat and cursed. At this moment, he had forgotten his identity as a monk and cursed out all the dirty words he could think of.

The Jinyiwei outside were listening and found it hard to imagine that such obscene words could be spoken from the mouth of a highly accomplished monk.

This monk has committed a serious crime, right?

Mao Xiang walked in and patted Daoyan on the shoulder. His mood at this moment was almost the same as Daoyan's.

However, when he saw the maternal love experiment on the screen, he couldn't help but spit it out, and then started cursing with Daoyan.

The Jinyiwei guarding outside the door were completely confused at this time. Why did their commander go as crazy as the monk?

Zhu Yuanzhang saw Daoyan's changes from beginning to end and it was also within his expectations.

No one can remain indifferent when seeing such a cruel scene!
After a long time, Daoyan finally stopped crying. He looked at the screen with lifeless eyes, kneeling on the ground like a puppet, motionless.

These scenes seemed to make him experience life and death countless times. His world and his ideas have been completely overturned!
Zhu Yuanzhang had turned off the video, but Daoyan was still staring at the white cloth, motionless, and no one knew what he was thinking.

Mao Xiang was also immersed in great shock and sorrow, unable to extricate himself. No one spoke in the house, it was terrifyingly quiet.

It took a long time for Mao Xiang to recover. His face looked extremely heavy and he spoke, breaking the depressing silence.

"Your Majesty, in the future, will the descendants of our Ming Dynasty really suffer that disaster?"

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded but said nothing.

"Your Majesty, please tell me when we will launch the expedition to Japan! If we don't completely eradicate the Japanese invaders, I will not be able to bear this. For the sake of future generations of the Ming Dynasty, my life is nothing!"

As he spoke, Mao Xiang suddenly became excited, "I will go to Tongwenguan right now and kill those beasts!"

"Don't be impatient!"

Zhu Yuanzhang said in a deep voice: "Since I already know what will happen in the future, I must eradicate the Japanese invaders. I will never let those beasts go. When the time is right, it will be the time for the Ming Dynasty to march east!"

"I will obey your majesty!"

Mao Xiang had just finished speaking when he saw Daoyan slowly stand up, wipe off the dirt on his body, then walk in front of Zhu Yuanzhang and bow deeply.

"Your Majesty, I was wrong. I was so wrong. Thank you, Your Majesty, for letting me see what real hell is." Daoyan at this time returned to his usual calm appearance, but there were many different things in his wise eyes.

"Master Daoyan, there is no need to do this."

Seeing Daoyan's repentant look, Zhu Yuanzhang felt relieved. It seemed that Old Li still had a way. He could use the future disaster of China to directly shatter Daoyan's obsession.

If he still refuses to repent, then we have no choice but to kill him, otherwise he will become another great disaster.

"I think Your Majesty has long known that I have rebellious intentions, but you only arrested me and put me in prison instead of killing me. I dare to guess that Your Majesty is attracted by my obsession and needs me to do something very important."

After calming down, Daoyan guessed most of Zhu Yuanzhang's intentions.

"I think this important matter should be related to the Japanese invaders. Your Majesty, please tell me clearly. I will go through fire and water without hesitation!"

Zhu Yuanzhang felt a little emotional. Daoyan was indeed the one who could instigate Zhu Di to rebel. No wonder Old Li said that although he was a rebellious person, he was also a genius.

This time, I finally saw it.

"Since Master Daoyan is so open, I won't hide anything and will speak frankly. I need you to go to Japan as an envoy!"

Daoyan pondered for a moment and said resolutely:

"Your Majesty, I have understood your intention. Your Majesty, I am willing to go to the Japanese island and turn them upside down so that they will never be able to stand up again!"

His expression was unusually determined, and there was even a hint of excitement in his eyes. At this moment, he seemed to have found his goal again and was able to display his talents and ambitions to the fullest.

It's also like a warrior about to go to war, not hesitating even if it means he will be torn to pieces.

"Then on behalf of the future descendants of China, I would like to express my gratitude to Master Daoyan!" Zhu Yuanzhang said solemnly.

"Your Majesty, your words are too polite. This is my responsibility. For the future of the Ming Dynasty and to protect future generations from the hellish disaster, all I have learned throughout my life has finally found a place to put it to good use!"

Daoyan walked out of the imperial prison with Zhu Yuanzhang more than half a year later, but he felt as if he was in another world. The outside world was completely different from what he remembered.

The Jinyiwei Prison was located in the southern city of Yingtian Prefecture. Not far away was the industrial zone planned by Zhu Yuanzhang. There were many factories and tall chimneys everywhere as far as the eye could see.

"That is?"

Looking at the white smoke coming out of the chimney, Daoyan was shocked.

"Oh, you monk have been imprisoned for quite some time. I wonder how much our Yingtian Prefecture has changed."

Mao Xiang spoke quickly, and it seemed that he was trying to show off in front of Daoyan.

"That's our Ming Dynasty's steel mill. Monk, you know what steelmaking is, right? But that steel mill is incredible. It can produce tens of thousands of tons of fine steel a year.

Monk, you don’t know what ton means, right? Let me tell you, this ton is the same as jin, shi, etc. It is a unit of weight…”

The more Mao Xiang talked, the more excited he became, and Daoyan was more surprised the more he listened. When he heard that the Ming Dynasty could now build ships that could sail without sails, and even build hot air balloons that could fly into the sky, he was completely shocked.

I was only imprisoned for nearly a year, but I didn't expect that the Ming Dynasty had undergone earth-shaking changes. I missed a lot of wonderful things!

Looking at Mao Xiang's incessant talk, Zhu Yuanzhang did not say anything to stop him. He just let Mao Xiang brag, so that Daoyan could know how far the industry of the Ming Dynasty had developed.
