The eldest grandson of Emperor Ming Dynasty!

Chapter 262 A Brand New Ming Dynasty

Goryeo's war against Japan, to be honest, was not within the scope of Zhu Ying's plan.

He is more concerned about the impact on people's livelihood.

It's just that Yao Guangxiao, when he's getting old, can't wait, and if he takes power a little bit, he wants to prove himself and make something happen.

During the period of launching the war against the Wa Kingdom, the Wa Kingdom naturally also had envoys.

"I want to see your leader. Why do you want to launch a war against our country? Do you know how much impact this will have on our country and Goryeo?"

The Japanese envoy roared angrily, but no one paid attention to him.

After coming to Busan, Koryo for a few days, he was almost imprisoned all the time, and he was not even eligible to see Yao Guangxiao.

Only today will he be allowed to be released and lead him to the seaside.

The surrounding guards had no intention of talking to the Japanese envoy at all, so they silently escorted him forward.

It's not that they don't understand the words of the Japanese envoys. The current Japanese envoys also speak fluent Chinese.

We must know that today, perhaps in the entire Asian region.

Outside of the Ming Dynasty, only nobles were eligible to learn Chinese.

In the eyes of Japanese envoys, Koryo is a vassal state of Ming Dynasty, and communicating with it in the language of the suzerain state can virtually enhance its own status.

Soon, the Japanese envoys were taken to the seaside.

Seeing tens of thousands of troops at sea continuously landing on the ship, the Japanese envoys only felt their scalps tingling.

Just by looking at it, he knew that there were at least 8 or 3 soldiers on board, and there were no more than [-] people on Tsushima Island including the people.

This is a very different battle.

"This is an eminent monk who came from Daming, and he is also the national teacher of our Koryo. Hurry up and meet him."

The guard next to him scolded.

The Japanese envoy saw the black-clothed monk in front of him. Although he still didn't understand why a monk seemed to be the leader, he still saluted and said, "Eigou Erlang, the Japanese envoy, pays homage to Master Guoshi."

Yao Guangxiao looked at the army by the sea, and said calmly: "Do you think that the [-] army of the poor monk has the ability to resist Mashima?"

Hearing this, Eguchi Jiro immediately said angrily: "Master Guoshi, this is a war, not a joke. What on earth did Wa country offend the Guoshi, and it is necessary to launch such a large-scale war."

"The military division of the National Normal University is unknown, and it will definitely have a very bad ending."

Yao Guangxiao chuckled lightly and said, "The Japanese pirates of the other country are colluding with the government, not only on the coast of Daming, but also on the coast of Koryo. They have invaded for many years."

"As far as the poor monk knows, these Japanese pirates who robbed a lot of money in Koryo and Ming Dynasty, after returning to the Japanese country, they transformed themselves into nobles, and even some big Japanese pirates were personally received by your emperor."

"Or is it that you are only allowed to invade Japan, and I am not allowed to fight back?"

Hearing the question from the black-clothed national teacher in front of him, Eguchi Jiro, the envoy of the Japanese country, retorted: "What the national teacher said is just a rumor. These Japanese pirates are called by everyone in our Japanese country. How could they be summoned by the emperor?" .”

"Our country has wiped out these bandits many times, but because of the wars in Japan in recent years, we can't take these bandits into consideration."

"At present, the Japanese civil war has subsided, and the emperor has ordered the start of the investigation of the bandits. I originally guaranteed the head of the project. In the shortest possible time, the soldiers of the Japanese country will do their best to wipe out the bandits."

"There will be no more bandits invading Goryeo."

Speaking of this, the Japanese envoy took off the cap on his head and bowed to Yao Guangxiao.

This is asking Yao Guangxiao to withdraw his troops.

"What you said makes some sense. There are a large number of Japanese pirates gathered in Tsushima Island. I don't know if those bandits gathered from the sea belong to the Japanese pirates or you Japanese soldiers."

Yao Guangxiao asked.

The Japanese envoy Jiangguchi Erlang raised his head slightly and replied: "My lord, whether it is in Daming, Koryo, or in the territory of Wa, there are bandits."

"For banditry, the commonly used tactics are recruitment and extermination. Now in our country, these strategies are also being implemented."

Yao Guangxiao asked: "According to what I mean, these Japanese pirates who violated Daming and Koryo only need to be recognized by the Japanese country and accepted to be recruited."

"Then can the crimes they committed in Daming and Korea be written off?"

The Japanese envoy replied: "Of course not, if the national teacher has evidence to prove that these Japanese pirates who were recruited did invade Daming and the Koryo coast."

"After I return to Japan, I will definitely report to the emperor, and I will give the most severe punishment to these bandits."

Hearing this, even a person like Yao Guangxiao, who has perfected his mind, couldn't help laughing angrily.

Said: "Look carefully, the poor monk doesn't know the 8 people in front of you. Maybe they are just fishermen who go out to fish."

"If these [-] fishermen go fishing in the sea and affect some part of the Wa Kingdom, please collect the evidence, and the poor monk will punish them severely."

As soon as these words came out, Wei Guang, Zhao Pang and others beside him burst out laughing.

"The two countries are at war. If there is no war, come and send an envoy. If you come, let this envoy go back with our ship."

Yao Guangxiao ordered.

Immediately, the guards forcibly took the Japanese envoy to the seaside.

The envoys of the Japanese Kingdom issued roaring reprimands, but this did not change anything.

"These Japanese people are really the same as chickens of the same feather. With his appearance, how can he be different from those Japanese pirates." Wei Guang said disdainfully.

What the Japanese envoy said just now is tantamount to forcibly turning black and white, pointing a deer into a horse.

It is simply whimsical to try to withdraw the troops.

It took more than an hour for the [-] troops to set off.

Seeing the ship sailing farther and farther on the sea, the indifference in Yao Guangxiao's eyes became deeper and deeper.

He knew that it would be easy to seize Tsushima Island.

However, the food reserves in Tsushima Island are simply not enough for 8 people to consume, and it is impossible to persist until the beginning of next spring.

Yao Guangxiao reckoned that the food in the entire island would be eaten up in two months.

He knew this, but still sent [-] soldiers over.

Last night, Yao Guangxiao summoned all the generals who went to war and issued a special order.

That is, after the expedition to Tsushima Island, all the money robbed can belong to the general himself, and there is no need to turn it over to the Korean royal family.

It was this special order that made all the generals in Goryeo feel as if they had been beaten with chicken blood.

This is what Yao Guangxiao wants.

When the food on Tsushima Island was exhausted, these generals would lead their soldiers to plunder the Japanese mainland directly.

Obviously, at this stage, those Goryeo soldiers will also face starvation and death.

However, does Yao Guangxiao care?
He just needs a result.

The news of Yao Guangxiao launching the war quickly reached Zhu Ying.

Looking at the information that the first batch of [-] troops was dispatched, Zhu Ying immediately sensed Yao Guangxiao's thoughts.

"Yao Guangxiao is Yao Guangxiao after all, it's really cruel."

Zhu Ying said with some sighs.

Even if he had ever thought about Annan's plan to found a country, he never had such an idea.

However, it is naturally impossible for Zhu Ying to intervene in this matter, so let's see the result.

Recently, the output of matchlock guns has become larger and larger. With the support of a large amount of manpower, the Gunpowder Division is also constantly increasing the scale of making matchlock guns.

Just this month, the output of matchlock guns is expected to break through the [-] mark.

Zhu Ying thought, it's time to really bring the matchlock gun into the army.

At this moment of thinking, there was a sound outside the door, but there was no sound.

Zhu Ying knew that this was the old man.

As soon as this idea came to mind, the door of the study was pushed open, and the old man was smiling, and even walked in eagerly.

"Hurry up, come on, grandson, follow us to have a look. Someone came to report just now, saying that the crops on the outskirts of the city are almost gone now, and they can already be used as a new batch of grain seeds."

Zhu Yuanzhang's tone was obviously very excited, and no one could maintain a stable mood when such high-yielding crops had matured.

For Zhu Yuanzhang, this is not only to ensure the food of the people in the world, but also the foundation of his Zhu family's inheritance.

Throughout the last years of the dynasties, there were always famines, which caused the people to live in dire straits and suffer unspeakably.

It is really too hungry to take the road of rebellion.

These crops alone are enough to last the Ming Dynasty for hundreds of years.

All the people who survived because of these crops will be grateful to his old Zhu family.

When Zhu Ying heard the news, she was more or less moved, and went out together under the hand of the old man.

Outside Kunning Palace, Long Lun was ready.

"Da Sun, we have already arranged for people to do the statistics. You said how many crops can be produced per mu."

Although Dasun had already said it before, Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help asking again.

Zhu Ying didn't hesitate, and said directly: "The output of sweet potatoes and potatoes should be around [-] catties, and the output of corn should be lower, around [-] catties."

Although these grains have not been detoxified, they are relatively high-quality in Zhu Ying's inventory in the Western Regions.

At least the yield per mu of the first batch will not be too low.

Hearing Dasun's reply affirming that the yield per mu is a thousand catties again, and Tong Suan who is about to see it, Zhu Yuanzhang laughed so hard that his mouth split open.

"Okay, okay, okay, let's see with our own eyes today, this can produce a thousand catties of grain per mu."

"Da Sun, this is a great achievement. It can be called immeasurable merit and countless living people."

"What a great grandson, what a great grandson!"

Hearing the old man's praise, Zhu Ying accepted it calmly.

Of course he is very clear about the significance of these crops.

Not only in terms of survival, but also a kind of liberation of the labor force of the people at the bottom.

Before that, all the people needed to cultivate the land intensively, with little rest.

Once there is any disaster, there will be no harvest.

Now that there are so many choices, it is completely different, especially many barren fields can also be used for planting without too much worry.

The yield per mu in the north is about [-] catties, and in the south it is slightly more, about [-] catties.

These are all first-class fertile land.

And sweet potatoes, sweet potatoes, etc., no matter how low the output is, they can still weigh seven or eight hundred catties.

The technology of detoxification is also the first research direction that Zhu Ying intends to hand over to Fifth Uncle Zhu Huan.

If the anti-virus technology can be researched.

Even without chemical fertilizers, the yield per mu of sweet potatoes and sweet potatoes would be almost stable at [-] catties or more.

We must know that the normal cultivation of sweet potatoes in later generations has [-] jin, and the high yield can reach [-] jin.

The same is true for potatoes.

At this stage, it is impossible for Zhu Ying to be too demanding. With a yield of more than 1000 catties per mu, it can completely be a qualitative change for the entire Ming Dynasty.

Only by liberating a large amount of labor force from the land can the door of industry be completely opened.

When Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Ying came here in the outskirts of the city, dozens of officials from the Ministry of Industry could already be seen, constantly counting.

And thousands of soldiers took off their armor, rolled up their sleeves, and put down their swords.

Pick up the hoe next to it and start digging.

There were soldiers following behind with baskets, and put the dug up potatoes and sweet potatoes into the baskets, and when they were full, they were sent to the side to be weighed by the officials of the Ministry of Industry.

Shen Mo, Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, was already disgraced by now.

He had heard about the planting of these crops a long time ago, but His Majesty did not give him the right to check, so although he knew about it, he could only wait quietly.

In the past two days, there has been news that the crops are about to mature, and he asked him to prepare some officials to follow and count.

When he first came here, Shen Mo, Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, ignored the official uniform on his body, and immediately got down to the ground and began to fight.

The Ministry of Industry is in charge of construction projects, including farming and water conservancy.

Of course, Shen Min knew these things very well, he just had to dig a few meters around, and he could figure out the approximate yield per mu in his mind.

And when this number came out, he was completely shocked.

A thousand catties per mu, this is a thousand catties per mu.

Without intensive cultivation and day and night care, the yield per mu can be easily achieved.

For Shen Mo, who has been immersed in farmland and water conservancy for many years, it is like a fairy tale.

But everything in front of him clearly told him that these were all true.

Holding the potato in one hand and the sweet potato in the other, Shen Mo began to tremble.

Then growled:
"God bless Daming!!!"

At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Ying, surrounded by soldiers, came here.

"See, grandson, this is the Shangshu of our Daming, and the officials of the second rank are already so excited."

"God bless Daming, what a god bless Daming, what you said is really good. If it weren't for God's blessing, we would never see our great grandson again, and it would be impossible for us to have such crops come to our Daming."

Zhu Yuanzhang sighed with a smile.

Zhu Ying looked at Shen Mo, Minister of the Ministry of Industry, who was so excited that he didn't even realize that the old man and himself had come.

The corners of the mouth could not help but slightly curl up.

Starting today, Daming will be a brand new Ming!
