Steam Daming: Stop calling me to supervise the country

Chapter 277 It's all a lie

Ashikaga Yoshihide is now very busy because of the sudden death of Ashikaga Yoshichi and Emperor Shimitsu. As the first-in-line heir to the general, he will undoubtedly take over the position of the general, and now it is the general and the emperor. Now, the ministers and nobles have asked for a thorough investigation of this matter.

So Ashikaga Goshio was invited back to Kyoto, but this made him very uncomfortable. When he was in the Zhu Rihe Group, he was surrounded by heads of various departments. He only needed to supervise the work of these heads and listen to the report. , to decide some decisions, but he has to think of a way at any time here. He suddenly felt that the operation mechanism of this country in Dongying was not as efficient as that of Zhu Rihe Group.

Numerous and complicated opinions came to him, the battles in the court never stopped, the opinions of nobles and ministers always contradicted, and everyone kept shouting about the interests of the country, but in fact they were all wrapped up in their own selfishness.

This made him a little overwhelmed, and he really wanted to invite executives from Zhu Rihe Group to help him manage the country.

On this day, after Ashikaga Goku had dealt with several nobles, a messenger from the Shurihe group arrived.

"General."

"what's up?"

"His Royal Highness Zhujiang County has a secret letter that you need to open in person."

Ashikaga Yoshio accepted the letter, opened it slowly, and people were stunned when they saw the contents.

"Your Excellency Ashikaga Yoshikage, the silver mines in Iwami Mountain in Daejeon City are huge in quantity and rich in deposits. The wealth in them is estimated to be several times greater than the existing wealth of Toyo. This is a big matter. Daejeon City, discuss important matters together."

Putting down the letter, Ashikaga Yoshio murmured to himself, "Several times the wealth that exists in Toyo, several times the wealth that exists in Toyo!"

This is even more important than the death of Emperor Yu, and Ashikaga Gyokai immediately ordered to go to Ota City.

At the same time, Zhu Zhanchang sent letters to the nobles in power in all parts of the Eastern Ying, and the news of Iwami Silver Mountain flew to all parts of the Eastern Ying like raindrops.

If Ashikaga Yoshichi was still there, and Zhu Zhanyi did this, Ashikaga Yoshichi would definitely make trouble with him. After all, he sent messages to other nobles beyond himself, but now Ashikaga Yoshichi is dead.

Ashikaga Yoshikage itself is unstable, and during this time, these nobles have received a lot of benefits from the Zhu Rihe Group. Even if the dividends have not yet started, but relying on relationships to start trade, or give priority to the purchase of steam engines, has already made it. They made a profit, but this group of people liked the Prince of Pearl River who brought them money.

The news of the big silver mine this time has also caused many changes.

There are naturally a lot of people who have ambitions for it. After all, this is a huge amount of wealth, but if you don't gather the power of Dongying, you will not be able to snatch silver mines, and now Dongying can still gather together?

If everyone's interests don't converge together, naturally they won't work together.

And if they want to rob, it is not only within Dongying now. After all, Ishijian Mountain is within the concession of the Prince of Zhujiang. Daming's steam warships fought a battle.

Since what the Prince of Zhujiang County has made public is to share, let's see how he does it first, and then look at the follow-up.

A large number of people flocked to Daejeon for a while. This small city has doubled its resident population this year and has become the most popular city in Dongying.

Taking advantage of this great development time, countless Dongying people want to flock to this city. No matter what job they do, as long as they have a relationship with Zhurihe Group, they will become rich. The wind rises.

Ashikaga Yoshigoshi first arrived in Daejeon, he went to find Zhu Zhan, and was taken directly to the place where Iwami Ginzan was.

"His Royal Highness the Prince of Zhujiang County, is it true that you said there are silver mines in Iwami Mountain?"

"It can't be fake, it can't be fake, let's go and take the general to see it."

In Iwami Silver Mountain, a small car is pushed out from a small railroad track, which is built for the convenience of transportation. It can be pushed by shaking it manually. The speed is not fast, but it can also save some manpower.

Ashikaga Yoshihide did not know when Zhu Zhanzhen built this small railway.

Zhu Zhanqi took Ashikaga to stop a car, the workers backed away, Zhu Zhan took Ashikaga to go up, lifted the cloth above, and the bottom was full of silver mines.

These irregular silver mines can be refined into ingots of silver, and this truck is transported out of the incalculable wealth.

"This is the first batch of silver mines to be mined, and there are many more. I don't plan to mine on a large scale at one time, but take it slow and orderly."

Ashikaga Yoshio was shocked by the massive wealth in front of him. He also understood that if he wanted to have such a silver mine, he must have the strength to match it. Normally, it is reasonable to fight for this big silver mine. Now Zhu Zhan How to properly solve it.

Zhu Zhanchang reiterated the Dongying Fundamental Fund and the distribution plan previously mentioned by Emperor Xiaomatsu, and was shocked by the Dongying Fundamental Fund proposed by Zhu Zhanchang, which was a big killer to win over the hearts of the people.

Thinking about it, if you want to protect such a large silver mine, you may have to rely on Daming's army. If you let him come, it will definitely not be handled well, and as a general, you can be divided into a large part. Some wealth is already difficult to measure.

How to make a choice should be very simple. Ashikaga Kyoko decided now: "His Royal Highness Zhujiang County, your distribution plan is very reasonable, and I will support you with all my heart."

Zhu Zhanchang patted Ashikaga Yoshio's shoulder: "Your Excellency, you are really a good general who cares about the people. I believe that under the leadership of Your Excellency, the standard of living of the people of Eastern Ying will be several times better than before. I believe your historian The general will also be recorded as the best general in Eastern Ying history."

Ashikaga Yoshio, the new general, urgently needs Zhu Zhan's support and help, and the silver mine matter, the general's full support will get twice the result with half the effort, and mutual support is the best way to continue cooperation.

On the waters of Hiroshima, a ship set off, and Emperor Komatsu was on the ship. Although Huasou Zongtan did not recommend him to come, he still came. As long as he arrived in Datian City, Zhu Zhanyi and Ashikaga Church supported him to serve. The Emperor.

His position as emperor is the real Emperor Xiaomatsu. After his death, he faked it. He has never been a real emperor. He can't be emperor in Daming, and why not do it when he is emperor in Dongying.

Li Xianyu brought him a cup of warm tea and said, "Your Majesty, the sea is cold, you drink a cup of warm tea to go to the cold."

Afterwards, Emperor Xiaomatsu took over the tea with a satisfied smile and said, "You did a good job, Mako Kawashima, you are my most loyal subordinate and the best spy in Kuizhong. You serve as my valet, and I will let you marry into a nobleman and have no worries for your life."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Later, Emperor Xiaosong said suspiciously: "I'm surprised that Zhu Zhanchang didn't kill you. It seems that your ability is not small. Zhu Zhanchang still keeps you after knowing your identity."

"The Prince of Zhujiang County saved a small life because of your face."

"Give me face, hahaha, give me face." Afterwards, Emperor Xiaomatsu suddenly laughed a little crazy.

"This Prince of Zhujiang County is really an amazing person. As long as Ishijian Yinshan is allocated well, he will actually control the entire Dongying. Basically, he will completely control Dongying without a single soldier. There are still some valuable things on the table, I am afraid that there is no chance to live."

Li Xianyu spoke slowly: "As far as my subordinates know, the Prince of Zhujiang has never accepted threats from others. Your Majesty, how did you do it?"

"Everyone has weaknesses. Although this Prince of Zhujiang County is ruthless and has a lot of authority, I know that he attaches great importance to his family. His father, brother, sister, and wife are all like this. He is an extraordinary conspiracy. Also an unqualified member of the royal family."

As if he knew Zhu Zhanchang very well, Zhu Yunwen continued to analyze: "While he seeks the plot of the East, he also has unrealistic fantasies about the happiness of his family. Do you think he is naive and naive, he is still too young, not enough Ruthless, or with his strength, the Ming Emperor should be him."

"Maybe he just doesn't want to be emperor." Li Xianyu said softly.

"Don't want to be emperor? No one doesn't want to be emperor." Zhu Yunwen laughed at Li Xianyu's naivety. He would not understand that there are still people in this world who don't want to be emperor.

"I don't want to be the emperor, what does he deliberately occupy Dongying, what does he want my Kui organization to do, he is checking and balancing in many ways, if I were to grab the throne directly, but he is waiting for the opportunity, the throne can't wait. Come here, it’s yours when you grab it, those courtiers will only shout a few words, and then go to serve the new king, the fourth uncle understood this truth back then, but I don’t.”

Li Xianyu didn't know who his fourth uncle was.

The cold wind suddenly picked up, and the sea breeze in winter was really biting. Zhu Yunwen looked forward with his wishful thinking.

Behind his ship, a huge fleet was rushing towards them with steam rising.

The wind was cold, and the flags were roaring, and the steam mothership in the fleet was particularly conspicuous.

"Your Majesty, there is a fleet behind us, heading towards us."

Emperor Komatsu, who was immersed in a beautiful dream, suddenly woke up: "Fleet, what fleet?"

"His Majesty the Emperor, there is a steamship among them."

"Steam carrier? Steam carrier?" Emperor Komatsu's eyes widened and he couldn't believe the fact in front of him: "Isn't the steam carrier docked in Tianjin? Why did it suddenly appear in the waters of Dongying?"

The vigorous steam rose up in the sea, and Komatsu Yuhuangtian's ship couldn't compare with the fleet of the steam mothership at all, and was caught up in a short while.

Still in shock, he had no idea what was going on.

When the battleships swept past Komatsu Yuhuang's ships, when the huge steam mothership stopped by the side, the body of the steel behemoth had a strong sense of oppression, and it seemed that it could be crushed at any time.

The water in winter is like a dark abyss, and the waves of the giant ship make the ship bumpy.

The whitish waves beat against the hull of the ship, swaying like a lonely fallen leaf, helpless.

Later, Emperor Xiaomatsu looked up, and the behemoth in front of him, the steel cast body, and the cold and cold armored shell all had a majesty that made people feel hopeless and could not resist.

"How can this happen, how can this happen, what do they want to do?" Hou Xiaomatsu had already analyzed the current situation clearly.

The fleet will force the ship to stop, and then Komatsu Yuhuang's ship is sandwiched in the middle, and a line of well-equipped Ming soldiers boarded the ship in an orderly manner.

The first time everyone on the ship was under control.

Guangdong announced that Yang Lu personally led the second steam carrier battle group of the South China Sea to Dongying.

When he saw the flag of the South China Sea Fleet, Zhu Yunwen seemed to understand, and shouted like crazy: "Those who lied to me are all lied to me. It turns out that he lied to me, and it is a matter of cooperation with me. He lied to me, he lied to me to be emperor, he lied to me since the first meeting, he has been lying, he doesn't want to be emperor, how can anyone not want to be emperor..."

He suddenly roared hoarsely, but a silver thread went around his neck, and Li Xianyu beside him obviously didn't want him to say more.

The silver wire restrained his neck. Li Xianyu didn't have much strength, but the silver wire was so sharp that it cut through his skin with a single force.

The blood flowed from the neck, Zhu Yunwen blocked his neck with both hands, trying to keep his blood from flowing out, but in vain, the blood gradually seeped out from the fingers, he looked at Li Xianyu in disbelief, this he originally quoted. Proud of the dark pile.

His eyes became ferocious and terrifying, and he stretched out his hand to grab Li Xianyu. Li Xianyu stood there, his hand grabbed Li Xianyu's neck, but what could he do when he had lost his strength.

"He... he won't... marry you." Zhu Yunwen's scarlet eyes were round, and he said the last sentence of his life vaguely and fell to the ground.

Li Xianyu took out a white silk scarf and wiped the bloody handprint on his neck, looking at Zhu Yunwen who fell on the ground indifferently.

She cut Zhu Yunwen's throat for the first time, so that he could not say anything. The vague last sentence seemed to be a curse on her. This was Zhu Zhanchang's arrangement, and Zhu Yunwen was not given any time to speak.

As for another insider, the monk Huasou Zongtan had already drank the hot tea brewed by Li Xianyu in the cabin and went to the west.

"Xianyu girl, what should this person do?"

"Throw it into the sea, and all the people on this ship, all burned in a fire and sank to the bottom of the sea."

"Yes."

The entire ship was slaughtered, and when it was set on fire, it was turned into fly ash in the vast sea, and sank into the boundless seabed without a trace.

Zhu Zhanchang's purpose for keeping Li Xianyu behind was to let her silence her so as to prevent Zhu Yunwen from saying something to spread the word before he died.

In such an unprepared death, Zhu Yunwen himself will not leave behind, and Zhu Yunwen's news can be protected as much as possible.

Of course, about Zhu Yunwen's spies, Zhu Zhanchang asked when he talked to Zhu Yunwen last time. His spies had already attacked Zhu Zhanji, but they were suppressed by Zhu Gaochi. It would be nice to have this opportunity disappear.

On the steam mothership, Li Xianyu wiped off the blood on his body, and threw the bloody white handkerchief into the sea. The second steam mothership battle group of the South China Sea Fleet continued to move towards Daejeon City.

Li Xianyu looked at the sea, the bloody white handkerchief was fluttering in the cold wind, and he didn't know where it fell. The rootless person was like a handkerchief drifting in the cold wind, covered with blood and helpless.

Zhu Yunwen's last words lingered in her heart like a curse. She knew that her identity was not worthy of Zhu Zhanchang, but she also believed that he was not just using herself. This young man who was always high-spirited would definitely keep his promise.

He said he would marry her.
