The eldest grandson of Emperor Ming Dynasty!

Chapter 564 Mineral Priority

Zhu's actions were even more violent than Zhu's.

It's not that Zhu Ying is more powerful than his third brother, but that Zhu Ying consciously restrained Zhu Ying's development when distributing the vassal state.

For Zhu Ying, the third uncle, Zhu Yan, was relatively close in relationship, and they had fought against Zhu Di together in the capital before.

However, Zhu Wei's personal ability is too strong, and with the help of the Qunying Chamber of Commerce, if it is not contained, then it is very likely that within a few years, Zhu Wei will completely suppress Zhu Wei and Zhu Gaochi.

A good relationship is a good relationship, but the situation where one family dominates is not what Zhu Ying, or Daming wants to see.

Therefore, Zhu Yan's Jincheng is located in the northwest of Kyushu Island, facing the sea, and can only advance to the eastern part of the Wa Kingdom.

It's completely different here with Zhu Mi.

Without the help of Qunying Chamber of Commerce and Daming Maritime Trade, Zhu Ying gave him a better location.

Zhu Yu's Qicheng is surrounded by the four kingdoms of Satsuma, Osumi, Hyuga, and Bungo.

From the map, it seems that there is a feeling of being surrounded by the four kingdoms of the Wa Kingdom, but in fact, with the strength of Ming's troops, this is a city that surrounds the four kingdoms.

The mighty Zhu Yu directly divided his forces into four groups, and directly fought against the four countries at the same time.

This is a bit ruthless, even a little arrogant.

But it is such arrogance and arrogance that these four countries are completely incomparable.

The difference in the abilities of the soldiers on both sides is really too great.

A team of thousands of people, even if there are only a few hundred cavalry, is still invincible.

The short Japanese warrior and the Japanese knight riding a pony are just like children.

Without strict training, a village of hundreds of households was easily trampled by dozens of Ming troops. This was completely a unilateral massacre and raging.

It was only because of the silver mine that Zhu Yu also knew that a large population was needed, so he strictly prohibited the massacre of Japanese people at will, which did not cause widespread deaths.

Of course, Zhu Yu's army mainly carried out raids outside the cities of the Four Kingdoms, and there was no need to conquest the cities of the Four Kingdoms.

When the war broke out, a large number of Japanese people began to migrate towards the cities of the four countries.

It's just that in the face of Zhu Yu's army, the speed of this migration is no different from that of a turtle crawling.

Often a village only gets the news, and before the action may start, Zhu Yu's army has already crushed it.

The upper beam is not right and the lower beam is crooked.

Like Zhu Wei, naturally he didn't care much about military discipline. Zhu Ying's strict military regulations seemed to have never been spread to Zhu Wei.

Of course, in Zhu Yu's army, there are also people from the Daming Military Academy, or people who have been trained in Xuanjiawei, and they are even more loyal to His Highness the Grandson in their hearts.

In terms of combat effectiveness in all aspects, it is also the best in the entire army.

It's a pity that soldiers like this are usually around Zhu Yu, while other scattered teams are relatively rare.

People, especially men, are always a bit bad-natured.

Or is it the true qualities of a hero?
Some general banners, leading dozens of people, quickly captured a village.

After traveling for a day, they saw that it was getting dark, so they planned to rest in this village for a night.

"Boss, the brothers over there have found a very nice girl, very juicy and tender."

"It's been a tiring day, and the brothers are also thinking that the boss may be a little tired. Should the girl come over and give the boss a massage to relax."

"This is also a little thought of the brothers."

A soldier who looked shrewd in his eyes walked up to the general flag and said in a slightly lower voice.

Zong Qi had a bit of hesitation on his face.

Although I feel a little itchy in my heart, this rule is a rule.

If it gets out, even if the prince doesn't pursue it and doesn't suffer any punishment, it will definitely have some impact on his future.

According to the latest military discipline introduced by Ming Dynasty, these people are credited with being on duty overseas. If they go back, they will have a great possibility of promotion and salary increase.

But if the reviews are bad, that's another story.

Seeing Zongqi hesitating, the subordinate thought for a while, and immediately understood the boss's concerns, and said immediately; "We have more than 40 brothers here, of course we will not miss it. These Japanese people speak different languages. There is nothing to be accused of."

"After this wave, those who are disobedient will be dealt with, and the rest will be arrested for mining. Of course, the brothers will not be stupid enough to tell this matter and cut off their own way."

When Zongqi heard this, his heart was indeed a little moved, but he was still pondering and didn't open his mouth.

Seeing that he did not directly refuse, his subordinates immediately waved back.

Following a few sounds, a Japanese woman came over with a subordinate.

The most interesting thing is that the Japanese woman had no nervousness or fear when she saw her, and saluted to the general flag, her eyes flickered, as if she was expecting.

"This Japanese woman, is she voluntary?"

Zongqi couldn't help asking.

The subordinate smiled and said: "We don't know either, anyway, we don't understand what they are saying, but when the brothers went to collect women, they still cooperated quite proactively."

At this moment, Zong Qi felt relieved, and waved at the subordinate, the meaning was obvious.

The two hurried out of the yard.

The Japanese woman followed Zongqi into the room very naturally, and closed the door by the way.

Zong Qi was a little embarrassed at once, it didn't mean that he hadn't done this kind of bullying before, it's just that he was so proactive, it seemed a bit different.

The woman from the Japanese country softly spoke the Japanese language that Zongqi could not understand, then walked up to Zongqi and helped him take off his clothes.

At this moment, the general flag actually had the feeling of returning to the brothel of Daming.

The peaceful village in the past is very noisy at night today.

All kinds of men's shouts and women's groans can be heard endlessly.

The biggest difference from Daming is that there is less crying.

This is the difference in customs.

In Japan, strong warriors have the priority to choose a spouse, even a woman with a family can't help but sacrifice herself.

For the Japanese, the soldiers of Ming Dynasty are simply a godsend of bravery.

In terms of height, they are much taller than ordinary Japanese with an average height of 1.5 meters. At present, the height of Ming soldiers is almost 1.7 meters.

The Japanese have the habit of being vegetarian and not eating meat, so naturally there will not be any heavy-backed warriors, and most of them are relatively thin.

Such a strong man is simply what Japanese women dream of.

In addition, even the Japanese who did not know Daming before, now basically know that there is a very powerful country on the other side of the sea, which is dozens of times stronger than the Japanese country.

Therefore, the Japanese women are eager to leave the seeds of Ming Dynasty in their bodies.

In this way, their descendants will also be the descendants of Ming Dynasty.

In their eyes, the descendants of Daming were born nobles in the Japanese kingdom.

After all, it is only a small village, and there are not many young and beautiful people. Except for the general flag and small flag, most of the other soldiers are shared by multiple people.

This made the one who didn't wait to enjoy it alone even more excited.

Situations similar to this continue to appear throughout Hyuga, Osumi, Satsuma, and Bungo Shikoku.

Men, after this, they can't help but communicate with each other. After some familiar teams meet, it's easy to talk about it.

It is absolutely impossible for dozens of people to know something, let alone the soldiers at the bottom.

Those who haven't felt it, want to feel it in their hearts, especially when they hear that those Japanese women not only don't reject such things in the slightest, but cater to them very much, so they don't feel any guilt in their hearts.

As a result, a strange phenomenon appeared on the side of the Four Kingdoms. The Japanese people who originally started to flee, but slowly rushed back.

Even when they met the soldiers of Ming Dynasty on the road, they were not even the slightest bit afraid, and were even very flattering.

Even if the language is different, some aspects of communication are relatively simple.

And the delicate and thin Japanese woman also made the soldiers of Daming feel very nostalgic.

Of course, in addition to this aspect, several silver mines have also been discovered.

These were being mined by the Japanese nobles, and they were easily taken over by Zhu Yu's army.

When the news reached Zhu Yu, let alone how excited he was.

Immediately began to send additional manpower to be stationed in the silver mine.

Not only silver ore, but also copper ore, iron ore and many other mineral deposits, the content of which is not low.

After Zhu Yu hesitated for a while, he recorded all the information about the mineral deposits he had discovered so far, and then passed it on to the capital.

It's not that he is selfless, but that the excavation of these mineral deposits cannot be effectively exploited by him alone.

The most important thing is that most of these mines are currently in the territory of the Japanese.

When the assassination of Zhu Gaochi here is over, is it possible to spit out the things in his mouth?
So this requires the support of Daming.

It is said that the overseas vassal states are their own masters, and it is the territory of the vassal king.

But Zhu Yu also knew that if a decree came, all the power on his side would be taken away, and it was impossible for many people to follow him to rebel.

Just on one line.

The soldiers stationed in the Wa country can return to Daming for a change of shift after five years.

Maybe there will be changes in the future, at least the current soldiers don't really want to stay in Wa country forever.

Fallen leaves, Angelica root.

"Lao Qi, seems to be more obedient, we didn't see it before."

Daming, Qianqing Palace.

Zhu Yuanzhang, who received the letter from Zhu Yu, said with a smile, with a bit of relief in his tone.

After all, the former Zhu Mi didn't do many good things in Daming's territory.

In other words, after most of the princes became feudal lords, none of them were in charge of personnel anymore, and all of them were extremely arrogant and domineering.

Now that he's thrown overseas, he feels a little more obedient.

Naturally, Zhu Yuanzhang didn't have the slightest idea about the current situation of the Japanese people. After all, they were not his own people. Daming still couldn't care about it now, so how could he care so much.

After Zhu Ying took the letter and read it, he said with a sigh: "There are too few craftsmen we can recruit from Daming. There are more than 5000 people gathered here. I'm afraid it will be a drop in the bucket in the past. This is only a part of the area. There may be more mineral deposits in Kyushu Island, Japan than we imagined."

Wa country is different from Central Plains.

In the Central Plains, excavation of many mineral deposits has already begun a long time ago, even thousands of years ago.

However, the country of Wa is limited by the influence of various factors such as population, and it is relatively slow in the area of ​​mineral deposits.

As an island country itself, the Wa country is also relatively rich in mineral deposits. Coupled with the exploration and mining technology of Daming today, this must be an extremely long-term harvest.

The grandfather and grandson had a tacit understanding and did not talk about the scope of the territory.

It was made clear that after Daimyo Kurosawa arrived in the capital, he would be imprisoned until he died.

As long as there is no result from Kuisawa, the assassination of Zhu Gaochi can be delayed forever.

From the obvious point of view, it did not have much impact on the peace covenant of the Wa Kingdom of the Ming Dynasty, and it would not be said that it would bring up anything related to the majesty of the Ming Dynasty.

Craftsmen are rare talents.

Under this premise, a large number of schools for cultivating craftsmen are gradually being established.

Even when it comes to mineral deposits, there is no Di Bao.

The scarcity of talents has brought about the rapid improvement of the status of craftsmen.

Well-connected families, officials, and nobles soon learned that a large number of mineral deposits were discovered in the Wa country area.

At this time, they suddenly realized a problem. It turned out that at the beginning of the conquest of the Wa Kingdom, His Royal Highness Taisun said that the Wa Kingdom was full of gold and silver mountains, which turned out to be true.

It's only now that we're starting to discover it.

All of a sudden, there was a gold rush in Daming.

The emergence of this craze was also slightly guided by Zhu Ying secretly, but the feeling of gold and silver was enough to make everyone crazy.

With the endorsement of the capital court, no one will have any doubts about it.

At the same time, it also drives the development of more industries, the most intuitive one is the shipbuilding industry.

Faced with the rising enthusiasm of the people, Zhu Ying also quickly formulated a series of measures.

At the same time, it was announced that if unmanned mineral deposits were discovered in the country of Wa, those who found them would have the priority to open them up, and they only needed to pay [-]% of the taxes of the Ming Dynasty to be protected by the capital of the Ming Dynasty.

This regulation is not only applicable to the Wa country, but also applies to any territory that is not part of Ming Dynasty.

In other words, even if you are in the Nanyang region, such as Annan, Champa, Java, Sumatra, Sulu, Pahang, Chenla, Guri, etc., this regulation can be applied.

It does sound exciting, but if there is no Ming army around, it depends on one's own ability.

The imperial court only provided a legal mining right in name, and if someone invaded it, it would have nothing to do with Daming.

Even in such a name, you have to pay [-]% of the income from the mine, otherwise it is tax evasion.

But even so, it still makes many families who are participating in the sea trade extremely excited.
