Daming: Me!The auspicious beast unicorn of the old Zhu family

Chapter 144 The Japanese Ninja Assassin Corps!

"But if that's the case, how will President Sasaki ensure the safety of the caravan in the coastal area of ​​Daming?"

"I have heard that some of Ming's entrenched forces have also engaged in pirate activities."

Zhu Bing's words were his deliberate probing.

Don't look at Sasaki Kojiro's confession of the cooperative relationship between the Japanese official and the Japanese pirates, but he will naturally not tell all the truth to Zhu Yan, so Zhu Yan can only rely on the news he has now and go as far as possible. Test and infer more useful information.

Now that it is known that the remnants of Zhang Shicheng, Fang Guozhen and other forces have a cooperative relationship with those Japanese pirates, it has also been confirmed that there is an ulterior and shady deal between the Japanese officials and the Japanese pirates.

Then Zhu Bian naturally thought of it. Is it possible that Dongpu officials have unknown connections with the remnants of Daming?

Therefore, Zhu Yan took the initiative to bring up the matter of Zhang Shicheng and Fang Guozhen who established a pirate group with the Japanese pirates, and wanted to test Sasaki Kojiro's reaction to infer the result.

Sure enough, when Sasaki Kojiro heard Zhu Kai mentioned this matter, his first reaction was the panic in his eyes!
The fluster of Sasaki Kojiro clearly fell into Zhu Po's eyes, making Zhu Po immediately conclude that Dongying officials must have something to do with Zhang Shicheng, Fang Guozhen and the others!

At this moment, all the information Zhu Bian knew was gathered in his mind, and a judgment after his speculation came into being!
When Zhu Bing first came to Japan, he discovered a very critical problem.

According to normal logic, Japan, as an island country, should deploy heavy troops for defense in the coastal areas. Otherwise, if there is a surprise attack by the enemy, they will have no time to rearrange their troops.

What's more, at the moment when pirates are extremely rampant, it is even more necessary to have a heavy defense.

However, no matter which dock or important sea traffic route, there are almost no people from the Japanese military headquarters.

Anyone with some military experience would be suspicious of this point.

Therefore, the first thing Zhu Bing did after he came to Dongying was to investigate the general establishment of Dongying's military headquarters and the number of soldiers in each area through various channels.

Sure enough, according to the information about the establishment of the Japanese military headquarters obtained by Zhu Biao's investigation, the soldiers they saw were less than half of the fixed establishment!
But at the same time, the military expenditure of the Japanese army did not decrease at all.

This can be seen from the fact that generals like Kojiro Sasaki have to come out to "take jobs".

Although Sasaki Kojiro naturally had the purpose of enriching his own pocket, but at the general level, if the military budget of the military department is sufficient, it is absolutely impossible to personally come out to do such demeaning activities.

Therefore, Zhu Xi and Lan Yu analyzed and judged that it is very likely that the regular soldiers of the Dongying Army Headquarters were sent out to participate in certain activities.

At that time, Zhu Xie and Lan Yu thought of a possibility, whether the Japanese military headquarters would want to attack Daming because of the poor economic situation and lack of land and goods...

Now, after confirming that the Japanese army had a deal with the Japanese pirates, the probability of affirming this possibility in Zhu Xi and Lan Yu's minds also increased greatly!
But at this moment, coupled with Sasaki Kojiro's micro-expression reaction, Zhu Yan almost concluded in his heart that the official military headquarters of Dongying had already engaged in the remnants of Zhang Shicheng, Fang Guozhen and the others, and they wanted to deal with Daming together!
In fact, in the real history of Ming Dynasty, there is a saying of "the northern captives and the southern Japanese".

It was in the early Ming Dynasty that Comrade Zhu’s main enemies were Mongolia in the north and pirates along the southeast coast.

At that time, because the pirates were fighting on the move, it took a lot of manpower, energy and material resources to pursue them, and there was no way to concentrate their forces to destroy them.

Therefore, Comrade Zhu implemented two major policies.

One is the "maritime ban" policy.

The so-called "maritime ban" is to strictly prohibit the common people along the coast of Daming from fishing, doing business and other activities, so as to completely eliminate the connection between the coastal residents of Daming and the islands.

The second is heavy defense.

In order to prevent the sudden attack of pirates and to supervise the implementation of the "maritime ban" policy by coastal residents, Comrade Lao Zhu arranged heavy military defenses in the coastal area of ​​Daming, and even built defensive buildings such as the Acropolis.

However, whether it was the "maritime ban" policy or heavy military deployment, it actually consumed a lot of the national power of the Ming Dynasty, and it also had an extremely bad impact on the economy and people's lives in the coastal areas.

Moreover, in the middle and late Ming Dynasty, most of the so-called "Japanese pirates" were Ming people, especially the leaders of the Japanese pirates, such as Wang Zhi, Xu Hai, Ye Qinman, Mao Haifeng, and Peng Lao. and many more.

There is a record in "Ming Shizong Shilu": "It is called Japanese pirates, but in fact there are very few real Japanese."At the same time, because the Japanese pirates "committed their lives and dared to fight", the officials of the Ming Dynasty were frightened by the news, so the Chinese pirates used the name of the Japanese pirates.

This fully demonstrates that the existence of "Japanese pirates" actually provided an excuse for some remnants of the former dynasty to carry out rebellious activities. Therefore, only by directly destroying Japan can we completely eliminate a series of negative influences.

Although Zhu Biao didn't know that what he wanted to accomplish was a feat for the entire Ming Dynasty, which was a feat of "contemporary merit and benefit in the future", but the assassin's Zhu Biao suddenly felt blessed, and he was completely exhausted. Shan, once again noticed an important problem.

That is, in the past, he would not and could not have thought of this based on some vested information.

But now, he was able to analyze so many things, which shows that he has indeed grown.

But at the same time, Zhu Xi also understood more about Comrade Zhu's painstaking efforts, and felt admiration and gratitude for Comrade Zhu from the bottom of his heart.

"Father and emperor's kindness in nurturing and nurturing, it is difficult for sons and ministers to repay with all their efforts!"

Just when Zhu Yan silently recited this sentence of gratitude, Comrade Zhu, who was thousands of miles away, also sneezed three times in a row.

Comrade Zhu couldn't help but frowned and rolled his eyes, and said angrily, "It must be another brat who is cursing us behind our backs..."

Seeing that Sasaki Kojiro didn't speak for a long time, Zhu Yan couldn't help but felt a little depressed, and secretly said: "With your acting skills, why don't you leave it here to pretend to be the prince?"

"I really don't die until I see the Yellow River, and I don't cry when I see the coffin..."

After thinking about it, Zhu Bing stood up again, cupped his hands towards Sasaki Kojiro and said, "At first, I thought that the strength of the Dongpu Army should be infallible, but I didn't expect it, I didn't expect it..."

"Ugh……!"

"Since even General Sasaki can't guarantee it, I can't force it. It might be safer to spend more money and hire more mercenaries."

"Then General Sasaki, I will bid farewell!"

After the words fell, Zhu Bing turned around and left without looking back.

It's just that the voice in Zhu Bing's heart at this time is: "Cut—! Comparing acting skills with me?!"

"My prince has been following Comrade Zhu since he was a child. If he doesn't know how to act, wouldn't his ass bloom every day?"

"Little Dongying, you are still very tender...!"

Sure enough, seeing that Zhu Xi seemed to be really disappointed to leave, Sasaki Kojiro quickly stood up and stretched out his hand and shouted: "Mr. Zhu Xiao, please stay longer!"

Hearing Sasaki Kojiro's shout, the corners of Azuki's mouth turned up slightly with his back turned to reveal a sly smile.

Immediately, Zhu Bing's expression returned to normal in an instant, he turned around and looked at Sasaki Kojiro, and asked with a confused expression on purpose: "General Sasaki, since the Japanese military headquarters cannot guarantee the safety of the caravan below, Then I have no destiny to cooperate with General Sasaki."

"However, President Sasaki is willing to go there in person. I appreciate his sincerity."

"If President Sasaki has anything to do in the future, I will do my best."

Sasaki Kojiro stared at Zhu Kai closely, but his eyes kept flickering, obviously thinking and hesitating, whether to make a decision or not.

Finally, after two breaths, Zuozoumu Kojiro gritted his teeth tightly, as if he had made some extraordinary decision, and said to Zhu Bing in a deep voice: "Mr. Xiaozhu, this general is telling you a secret. "

"It's just this secret, Mr. Xiao Zhu must keep it a secret, otherwise, if it is leaked out, no matter whether Mr. Xiao Zhu did it or not, the Dongying Army will issue an arrest warrant for Mr. Xiao Zhu!"

Although Sasaki Kojiro's reaction was within Zhu Xi's expectation, Zhu Xi couldn't help being a little surprised when he heard him say that.

Therefore, Zhu Bing nodded, which was regarded as acquiescing.

"I just feel uncomfortable in my neck, but it's not that I promised you not to say anything."

Besides, when Zhu Xi knew what he should know, Sasaki Kojiro's life, wouldn't he just let Zhu Xi at his mercy?

Immediately afterwards, Sasaki Kojiro said with a serious face: "Actually, the same deal was made between our Dongying military headquarters and those pirates of Ming Dynasty."

Hearing this, Zhu Bing breathed a sigh of relief.

Even though this answer had been expected by Zhu Po long ago, when he really heard Kojiro Sasaki admitting it himself, Zhu Po couldn't help but feel a burst of excitement in his heart!
This shows that what he speculated and analyzed before, all hit!

This kind of clearly visible growth will naturally make people excited and happy.

Fortunately, Zhu Bing is mature enough now, and this kind of joy from the heart made him firmly suppress it in his heart.

After all, if he showed an excited smile at this time, no matter how stupid Sasaki Kojiro was, he would definitely have doubts.

Zhu Po suppressed the joyful emotions in his heart, showed a surprised face and replied: "Mr. Sasaki takes this seriously?!"

"If so, it would be great!"

"In this way, my caravan can return to Daming safely!"

Sasaki Kojiro replied with a relieved smile: "That's right, this secret is only known to us at the top of the Japanese officialdom."

"So Mr. Xiao Zhu should understand that for this transaction, this general is full of sincerity, right?"

Zhu Po immediately replied with an expression of "I understand, I understand": "President Sasaki, please rest assured that I am just a businessman. As long as I can guarantee the safety of my caravan, this secret, I will definitely let it rot. In the stomach."

"However, although Mr. Sasaki has told you so much, I still have an unfeeling request."

Hearing that Zhu Xi still had requests, Sasaki Kojiro frowned unhurriedly, showing a little impatient expression.

However, thinking of the four times the remuneration, Sasaki Kojiro put away the negative emotions on his face in an instant, and responded with a smile: "Mr. Xiaozhu, please tell me."

Zhu Po immediately said: "It's actually a trivial matter."

"I just believe in you, General Sasaki, so..."

"At that time, General Sasaki, can you... accompany me?"

Hearing Zhu Xi's request, Sasaki Kojiro's face immediately changed color, but before he could speak, Zhu Xi had already added: "However, Mr. Sasaki will rest assured that since Mr. Sasaki will accompany you personally, after arriving safely in Daming , I will definitely offer double the remuneration next time."

"Of course, whether this remuneration is distributed to the brothers of the Japanese military headquarters, or Mr. Sasaki accepts you yourself, then it depends on Mr. Sasaki..."

Sasaki Kojiro, who originally wanted to express his displeasure, immediately beamed with joy when he heard that the remuneration was doubled again!

"Mr. Xiao Zhu's words are really outrageous!"

"For a distinguished guest like Mr. Xiao Zhu, this general should accompany him in person, he should accompany him in person!"

Afterwards, Zhu Xi and Sasaki Kojiro exchanged polite greetings, and they separated after the two sides confirmed the return time.

Thinking of five times the remuneration, Sasaki Kojiro left complacently, but he didn't realize that what Zhu Yan said was nothing more than a empty promise.

Some people may say, since it is a blank check, why not say more about the amount of remuneration, and this is what Zhu Bing has grown up to during this period of time.

No matter how lucrative a business is, there is a limit for a businessman to do business.

Even if it is really an astronomical figure, as a businessman, he will not show his interests too clearly.

You must understand that "every man is innocent, but he is guilty", and the truth of not revealing his wealth when traveling is very simple but very important.

If Zhu Xi said the amount of this empty check was too large, it would not only make Sasaki Kojiro feel malicious, but also more likely to make him suspicious.

But for the same reason, Sasaki Kojiro could not accept the amount of remuneration if he said too little.

Therefore, the most important thing is to be able to grasp the most accurate measure of anything.

After sending Sasaki Kojiro away, Zhu Xi also planned to leave, but just as he reached the door of Younv's house, he was blocked by Toneko Tanaka.

Seeing Fengzi Tanaka bowed to Zhu Xi, he said respectfully and slightly apologetically: "Mr. Xiaozhu, if Mr. Sasaki made things difficult for you just now, Mr. Xiaozhu, please forgive me. Fengzi didn't explain well."

Hearing what Tian Zhongfengzi said, Zhu Xie realized that seeing this woman who has been reduced to prostitution, there is kindness in his heart.

"It's okay, it's okay, General Sasaki is not embarrassing."

"The matter has been negotiated, and I should thank Ms. Fengzi well."

As he spoke, Zhu Xi took out an ingot of gold from his pocket and handed it to Fengzi Tanaka.

Toneko Tanaka naturally wanted to refuse, but was preemptively predicted by Zhu Bing, and forced it into her hands.

"If Miss Fengzi doesn't accept this thank you gift, I'm afraid I won't have the face to come back again in the future."

Hearing Zhu Xi's words, Tanaka Mineko frowned and gave up the rejection.

Immediately, Zhu Bing stepped away from the Younv's house, but a pair of light behind him, like the pearls of a clear lake, kept staring at the direction he left, unwilling to move away for a long time...

And like Tanaka Mineko, in the darkness, there is also a pair of eyes, staring closely at Zhu Xi's back.

However, the gaze of these eyes is a faint cold murderous intent!
After getting the answer he wanted, Zhu Xi was also refreshed and happy physically and mentally.

As a special existence that has awakened the blood of the unicorn, in fact, when he was in the girl's house, Zhu Yan had already noticed a faint killing intent that seemed to be deliberately hidden behind him, which seemed to be hidden.

Therefore, Zhu Yan did not choose to go home according to the original route, but deliberately chose a remote and quiet path, and walked all the way to the desolate suburbs.

After confirming that there were no other living people around, Zhu Bing stopped in his tracks and said impatiently, "You are really patient."

"It's been so far, you're not tired, I'm tired, don't you plan to do it?"

The breath behind him obviously stagnated, and then, a figure paced out from the dark shadows.

"You can sense my aura, you really are not an ordinary businessman."

The voice behind her was sharp and hoarse, like a dying old woman who couldn't breathe but still wanted to say the last sentence.

"Your ability to conceal your breath is not bad."

"If you guess correctly, you should be the Ninja Corps of Japan, right?"

"But we don't offend the river. It's not wise for you to provoke me for no reason."

Zhu Bing responded with a light smile, but his figure moved slightly, and he was already fully on guard, taking a defensive posture.

Turning around to look at the black figure, but he was wearing a close-fitting black robe, and the slightly larger cap covered his entire face in the shadow, so he couldn't see his appearance at all.

It's just that the two sharp crescent moon sickles with a length of nearly two feet in his hands are really impressive.

Zhu Bing raised his eyebrows and asked, "Tell me, why do you Japanese ninjas follow me?"

However, that black shadow just sneered, and replied arrogantly: "For a person who is about to die, there is no need to know so much!"

Before the words fell, the black shadow disappeared in place with a "swoosh", and the next second, the blades of two crescent sickles appeared above Zhu Bian's head out of thin air, and slashed at him fiercely!
