The Reborn Duke of Ming Dynasty

Kirigakure Kuro conveyed Oda Nobunaga's words to Zhang Fan and went back.

Oda Nobunaga does not know whether he should be said to be deep-minded.Or he has the demeanor of a general.In the words he asked Wuyin Jiulang to convey to Zhang Fan.Hardly any words of tangible benefit.It's just some insignificant etiquette words.This is indeed beyond the expectations of almost everyone.

In the eyes of many people.Including Qi Jiguang too.They felt that since Oda Nobunaga had done him such a big favor.Then it is inevitable for him to ask for some benefits from himself.Even they themselves think it should be.However, waiting until it is indeed an irrelevant etiquette and polite words.But no request was made to them.This really confuses Zhang Fan, Qi Jiguang and the others.

In their view.As long as it is a foreigner.As long as it helps me a little bit.They all want to get as much benefit as possible from here.And for them as the kingdom of heaven.They also eat this set very much.I feel that since others have helped me.If you don't do something good for others.It will make you look petty.

And people like Zhang Fan and Qi Jiguang are not fools.How could one not feel a hint of conspiracy from the words Oda Nobunaga entrusted.Maybe he will have bigger requests waiting for them later.And now.Oda Nobunaga asked for nothing in return.It was almost as if they owed him a favor.But know.This debt of favor is the most annoying.It is also the hardest to pay off.Rather.People in the Central Plains of China still eat this set of things.

"Master Qi, the war is over now. How should the thousand prisoners of war be dealt with now?" Zhang Fan asked Qi Jiguang.

"This... I don't know too well." Qi Jiguang was also puzzled.

This matter is also really tricky.originally.Xiang Qi Jiguang's attitude.Now that this kind of person is caught.Naturally, they all killed it.After all, the ones he fought against were basically Japanese pirates.If those people are not killed.What's the use of putting it here.Or maybe let them go back.Let them regroup and come here again to plunder and harm the people.

However.Now this can no longer be done.These people were caught.Talk about it.They are the official army of the enemy.Not a bereaved dog like the Japanese pirates.It doesn't matter if you kill one or two like Qi Jiguang did before.If they were all slaughtered.I'm afraid it will be another troublesome matter.

"My lords. This can be regarded as evidence that the empire attacked our country." The eunuch Wan Zhong said suddenly. "If the court investigates it at that time. If Ashikaga Yoshiaki refuses to admit it, these people can be regarded as evidence."

"No. That's not going to happen." Qi Jiguang said. "According to the message of Kirigakure Kurō just now. That Oda Nobunaga didn't ask us for help or anything else. This shows that whether he wants us to owe him a debt of favor or something else. At least now he doesn't need it. With our help, Ashikaga Yoshiaki can be defeated. When the court plans to pursue this matter, the body of Ashikaga Yoshiaki is probably already rotten."

Everyone listened to what Qi Jiguang said.Turn around and think about it.And that's exactly what happened.

"Then...then why do we need these people? Do we feed them for free?" Wan Zhong asked. "It's better to let them go to hard labor."

"Master Qi. I have thought of a good way." Hearing Wan Zhong's words just now.Suddenly, a flash of light flashed in Zhang Fan's mind.

"Oh. Master Zhang thought of something. Please tell me quickly." Qi Jiguang was worrying about these prisoners of war.Zhang Fan seemed to have a solution.Quickly asked.

"This is what the Lord Superintendent said just now reminded me." Zhang Fan said with a smile.He didn't forget to look at Wan Zhong, who was full of doubts. "It's actually very simple. Now the enemy army has been wiped out. And the Japanese pirates who occupied our three big cities have also been wiped out. The remaining thing is naturally to let the people who had fled return to their homes. But this is There is a problem. After such a big battle, there must be a lot of damage in these four big cities. Naturally, large-scale repairs will be carried out at that time. Not to mention that it will cost a lot to hire craftsmen and purchase stone materials. manpower and material resources. I'm afraid there will be officials enriching their own pockets. I mean..."

"You mean. Make these prisoners of war work as coolies. Repair the city for us." Qi Jiguang didn't wait for Zhang Fan to finish speaking.He had already guessed Zhang Fan's plan.

"That's right. That's exactly what I mean." Zhang Fan nodded and said.

"Well. This is a way. It's just this kind of thing. You still have to notify the court. Especially now. The war is successful. The court will definitely delay for a while. And the repair of the city is also urgent. I'm afraid this will come. In terms of time Will it be too late?" Qi Jiguang expressed his concerns.

"There is no problem with this matter." Zhang Fan showed a confident smile.Said. "This matter is on Zhang Fan's shoulders. I will write a letter to His Majesty right now. And the repairs can be started immediately here. Don't worry, Mr. Qi. If anything happens, Zhang Fan will bear it all." body."

It's not that Zhang Fan dared to say that because he was fooling him.He understood very well.Now it's not just a war victory.And the most important thing is for Long Qing.He sent back Prince Zhu Yijun safely.Just this one.He is [-]% sure.Long Qing would agree to his request.

"Since that's the case, then I'm not in a hurry to go back to Jizhou. After all, it's very peaceful there now. Let my people take care of these people to repair the city. I'll go back when the imperial order comes." Qi Jiguang also made a plan.

"It's just right. I'm still worried about whether these Fusang people will cause any big trouble. Now that Lord Qi's Qi family army is in charge, there will be no worries." Zhang Fan heard Qi Jiguang's plan.Also very happy.

"It's getting brighter today." Qi Jiguang looked at the eastern sky.Said. "Although this night was not hard, it was also very tiring. Mr. Zhang, why don't you go back to my camp to rest first. I will go back with the soldiers here. I will also escort these Fusang people back to the camp. It will definitely take a lot of time."

"This..." Zhang Fan heard Qi Jiguang's words.It is natural to want to refute.And want to insist on staying on their own.But somehow.After he heard what Qi Jiguang said.Actually really sleepy. "In that case, I won't make trouble here."

Wang Meng and others at the side saw that Zhang Fan had made a decision.Immediately went to bring a few horses.Escorted Zhang Fanhui to the barracks.

along the way.This group of people was very silent.No.In fact, only Zhang Fan was silent.The others just saw that their superiors did not speak.There is no more words.

Zhang Fan was thinking wildly all the way.At first, I just thought about the Fusang people's attack.After all, this was the first time Zhang Fan saw it with his own eyes.There is a case of foreign troops invading the land of Ming Dynasty to fight.When I lived in northern Xinjiang before.The invasion of the Tartars also counts.But it seems to be influenced by the concept of the local people that has been formed over the years.In their view.Although the invasion of the Tartars will cause them great losses and painful experiences.But that's almost a natural thing to do.

And after Zhang Fan came to Jiangnan.All I saw was a bustling scene.The image of the people living and working in peace and contentment.Although the people here will talk about some topics about the invasion of Japanese pirates from time to time.But at the end of the day.The damage caused by Japanese pirates to them only existed in many small places along the coast.For the people who are far away from these big cities.Still too far away.

And this time.The opponent actually occupied several big cities.This is completely different.It was in Yangzhou City before.See the various situations of the people who fled.Zhang Fan had more thoughts in his mind.

at first.All in his heart.It's just pure sympathy for what these people have encountered.And no other ideas.However, during the last period of guarding Yangzhou.That's when the people in the city started to riot.Zhang Fan just felt a kind of disappointment.

And when that crisis passed.Another strange idea came to Zhang Fan's mind.perhaps.Perhaps the people in the Central Plains are too stable.I couldn't bear a little bit of panic.I think of the people in northern Xinjiang.It's just sad that something like this happened.There is no other idea.He just wanted to wait until his army drove the Tartars away.I can go back to my residence sooner.

This made Zhang Fan feel that the people in the south of the Yangtze River were too weak.

But now.He had another idea.For the common people.It is their job to live and work in peace.It is the job of the rulers to let the people live and work in peace and contentment.Maybe on the other hand.It may be that the people in Jiangnan are the representatives of a peaceful and prosperous age.

With these things in mind.Unknowingly.They have returned to the barracks.

After getting off the horse.Zhang Fan shook his head.Get rid of these chaotic thoughts in your mind.Now he felt happy again.Since I left the capital and came here.It has been quite a few days.So much going on here.Even a few times.He is hovering on the brink of death.

And now.Things are finally over here.Zhang Fan couldn't help but think of his family members who were still in the capital.My mother, my beloved wife, and my child who will be born.

I have been thinking about these things in my heart.Zhang Fan lying on the bed quickly fell asleep.This is also after the war.Best sleep he's ever had.
