The First Corrupt Official of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 407: Take Zhu Yuanzhang off, Master Ye beats the emperor’s military stick, the power of a human brown bear!

"Ye Qing, did you overlook something?"

On the small watchtower, Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Ye Qing and asked in a relatively serious tone.

Then, everyone followed his gaze and looked at Ye Qing, who was still calm and composed.

Ye Qing put down the telescope and said with a slight smile: "Tell me about my General Guo!"

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Ye Qing's appearance of doing business without being serious, and he was really anxious and wanted to slap him.

In his opinion, the mistake he realized Ye Qing made was not a small mistake, but a big mistake that affected the situation of the battle.

Zhu Yuanzhang suppressed his anger and said: "Let me ask you, are the people you sent to notify the Japanese envoys from the Southern and Northern Dynasties the same group of people?"

Ye Qing felt speechless. Is this worthy of "invoking an army to prosecute"?
Ye Qing rolled his eyes at him and said: "Nara County and Kyoto Prefecture are so close to each other. How can I send two groups of people to take one more step forward?"

"Isn't this a waste of manpower?"

"Besides, when they came back to report, weren't you also there?"

When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he immediately pointed at Ye Qing and taught him how to hate iron.

In the eyes of everyone, Zhu Yuanzhang pointed at Ye Qing and reprimanded severely: "Ye Qing, Master Ye, Prefect Ye, you are usually arrogant, arrogant and conceited based on your talents. We won't say anything to you."

"After all, you did everything right!"

"But it's because of our indulgence that you become more and more arrogant. Now it's okay, something has gone so wrong!"

"We have never been to Japan, but from your map, we can see that Kyoto Prefecture and Nara Prefecture are both in the Kinki area on the main island of Japan!"

"Moreover, one port faces south and the other port faces north!"

"But the inland junction of these two places is the junction of the Northern and Southern Dynasties. If your people go from Nara Prefecture to Kyoto Prefecture, they are traveling from one country to another!"

"The border guards on both sides are already at war with each other. When the sergeants of the Southern Dynasty saw your people, they went to the Northern Dynasty in a big way?"

"Even if you don't stop him, you will still inform the Queen of the Southern Dynasties, Guishan Ghost Emperor, right?"

"With just a little research, I will know that you, Ye Qing, are a profiteer who exploits both the south and the north under the guise of commercial employment."

"Do you know the consequences of doing this?"

"You are helping them to unite and unite, and you are helping them to act in unison with the outside world!"

"."

Ye Qing did not stop Mr. Guo in front of him, but after he finished speaking, he said lightly: "The Tubo people have arrived at the border area between Ming Dynasty and Bei Yuan Dynasty. Is it normal to visit both places?"

"Moreover, I heard that the border towns of the Ming Dynasty are more prosperous, such as our Yanmen County!"

Zhu Yuanzhang thought about it carefully and felt that this was the case.

Just when Zhu Yuanzhang nodded thoughtfully, Ye Qing continued: "My Ming Dynasty's envoy went to Nara County, the temporary capital of the Southern Dynasties, for business. After the business is over, can't we go to Heianjing next door?"

"Moreover, Ping An Jing is a replica of Chang'an City!"

"As a citizen of the Ming Dynasty and a 'Tang Dynasty', is it normal to stop by and have a look?"

“When they went to Heian-kyo, they were empty-handed, but when they returned to Nara Prefecture from Heian-kyo, no one’s hands were empty. They were all local souvenirs!”

"The sergeant is not a human being?"

"Can't you go shopping, sergeant?"

Zhu Yuanzhang just said with twinkling eyes: "This"

Ye Qing did not give Zhu Yuanzhang a chance to speak, and continued to educate him: "The conflict between the Northern and Southern Dynasties is very serious. Even if the Ghost Emperor of the Southern Dynasty sees this scene, he will not seek verification."

"Isn't he afraid of the Ghost Emperor of the Northern Dynasty, knowing that they have found outside aid to help them fight against the Northern Dynasty?"

"For the same reason, Northern Dynasty is also afraid!"

"Before the war started, this was the highest state secret for them!"

"For this reason, from the perspective of the Northern Dynasty, our envoys are just passing through the Southern Dynasties. From the perspective of the Southern Dynasty, our envoys are just stopping by to visit the only city they can offer!"

Having said this, Ye Qing slapped Mr. Guo's thick shoulder directly.

At the same time, he smiled faintly and said: "General Guo, do you still feel that I have been negligent?"

Zhu Yuanzhang frowned again and looked constipated. At the same time, he also cast a "help" look at Xu Da, Wang Baobao, Mao Xiang, and Zhu Di.

The four of them just coughed lightly and looked decisively towards the sea on the other side, while also exaggerating the scenery here.

When Ye Qing heard this, he just nodded secretly.

I have to say, the scenery here is really good!
Ye Qing remembered that in his previous life in the city, the Ryukyu Islands, which had been occupied by the Japanese, was an island city focusing on fishing and tourism.

It's just that this archipelago city, centered on the Ryukyu Islands, composed of Miyako Islands, Yaeyama Islands and other islands, and formed in an arc along the Chinese mainland, was illegally managed by the "Police State".

Thinking of this, Ye Qing's eyes immediately lit up.

"What Lao Guo said is right!"

"I did ignore it, but I didn't ignore the trivial things he said!"

"I overlooked that this archipelago city in the future that forms an arc along the Chinese mainland is actually controlled by a 'police state'!"

"I must unify the Ryukyu Islands before going home, not just the main Ryukyu Island!"

"."

Thinking of this, Ye Qing once again added a combat mission to himself.

But that was a small thing that could be done easily when returning home after completing the commission from the Japanese Southern and Northern Dynasties.

After Ye Qing secretly made up his mind, he planned to let Mr. Guo settle the account first.

Ye Qing looked at Mr. Guo in front of him and smiled lightly: "Old Guo, since you have nothing to say, then I have something to say."

After Zhu Yuanzhang rolled his eyes at the four people who were looking at the scenery, he looked at Ye Qing and said still seriously: "What else do you have to say?"

"Since I am a general, I have the duty to remind you!"

"Even if the reminder is wrong, it is still an expression of due diligence. Is it possible that there could be another mistake?"

Ye Qing shook his head and said: "Yes, I deserve a reward!"

"What can I reward you with?"

"I'll reward you with a thousand coins, but don't let your wife know about it, okay?"

When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he immediately laughed.

The grudges I had written down before were immediately thrown out of my mind.

He slapped Ye Qing on the butt, winked and said, "Our brother Ye is still upright!"

Having said this, he did not forget to look at Xu Da with his peripheral vision and said: "It's not like some people who promised well and then turned around and complained to our wife." After saying that, Zhu Yuanzhang reached out his hand actively and said: "Give me the money." Bar!"

Ye Qing looked at the strict control of his wife and thought it was too cute. For a moment, he couldn't bear to settle a score with him.

If he hadn't been Zhu Yuanzhang's part-time imperial envoy, Ye Qing would have really ignored the villain!

But he is Zhu Yuanzhang’s part-time imperial envoy!
Therefore, Ye Qing must not let go of any opportunity to offend the Imperial Envoy!
Ye Qing yelled at the bottom of the watchtower: "Come here some soldiers, yell at these Shangguan officers, no matter how big or small, no matter how old or young they are, drag them down and beat them with sticks from the Tenth Army!"

As he spoke, Ye Qing said in an extremely stern tone: "For the sake of our brotherhood, I will punish you with a small punishment but a big warning. If you dare to speak to me in this tone next time, it will not be something that can be handled by a stick from the Tenth Army. "

After a while, the soldiers came up to take the person!
As soon as Xu Da, Wang Baobao and others heard this, they were not in the mood to look at the scenery!

The more they begged for mercy, the more Ye Qing wanted to beat him!
Ye Qing knew that they all knew the identity of Mr. Guo as a 'part-time imperial envoy', and they were completely worried that he would be retaliated against after beating him.

But for him, Ye Qing, that was the best outcome.

Therefore, the more they begged for mercy, the greater Ye Qing's desire to beat Mr. Guo. He even felt that beating him with the Tenth Army's stick was a bit too little.

It’s just that he has already said this, so there is no point in regretting it!

It's a little less, but it's enough to hit Mr. Guo. At this level, there's not much difference between hitting him with one army stick and hitting him with ten army sticks.

"Don't even try to persuade me!"

"Hit him, let him hit him, isn't he just a stick from the Tenth Army!"

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the two marshals who were pleading with the district magistrate, as well as His Royal Highness the Prince and the Commander of the Royal Guards. He himself felt ashamed.

Although he knew that before he returned to the Ming Dynasty, these identities were nothing to him, Ye Qing!
In the eyes of everyone, Zhu Yuanzhang refused to be escorted by his own soldiers and followed them with determination.

And at this moment,
Zhu Di looked at Zhu Yuanzhang walking away, and for the first time looked at Ye Qing with a pitiful expression: "Master, that's my father!"

"Oh!"

"So that's your father?"

Ye Qing said playfully: "Then you will supervise the execution!"

"I'm giving you the chance to beat your father. You can do it to show your filial piety or to seek revenge. It's up to you!"

Zhu Di smiled immediately, thanked him, and rushed forward as fast as he could.

At this moment, Xu Da and Mao Xiang looked at this scene and breathed a sigh of relief.

In their view, allowing Zhu Di to supervise the execution not only frees Zhu Yuanzhang, but also frees him Ye Qing!
"coming!"

"Master Ye, they have entered your naval formation!"

The King of Shanbei and the King of Shannan said excitedly one after another.

Their noise was so loud that Zhu Yuanzhang, who had just stepped down from the watchtower, ran back with Zhu Di.

After returning, Zhu Yuanzhang still said seriously: "We are not escaping, we just want to get beaten after watching it."

When Ye Qing heard this, he just smiled and didn't bother to worry about it.

It would be a good idea to let him see such a grand scene to avoid any regrets.

In everyone's eyes,
The envoys of the Southern Dynasties of the Japanese Kingdom, led by the Japanese general Qianye Chongwu, who they considered to be elite soldiers, entered the Ming Dynasty naval formation in a small boat.

In fact, this warship is not too small, it is about the same size as the Tang Dynasty warship 'Fighting Ship'!
In fact, warships such as "fighting ships" were not unique to the Tang Dynasty, but had already taken shape during the Three Kingdoms period. It was only in the Tang Dynasty that the most mature warships in all aspects were developed.

Ye Qing looked at this battleship, and his thoughts suddenly returned to the 'Battle of Baijiangkou' back then!
That year, his student Liu Rengui was appointed as the head coach!

It was just that at that time, he had already resigned from his job, studied medicine with Sun Simiao, and was now engaged in the great cause of setting up stalls and hanging pots to help the world.

Naturally, he would not come out again for something as trivial as a naval battle against Japan.

But in order to help students, he went to the shipyard and made some improvements based on the existing fighting ships and the industrial level of Datang.

In this way, the main warship of the Tang Dynasty, the "fighting ship", which he improved, defeated a force ten times his own at the mouth of the Baijiang River.

In that battle, the Japanese army had 40,000 troops and 1,000 warships, and almost all of them were wiped out!
Thinking of this, Ye Qing just smiled with amusement on his lips.

"You learned how to fight my warships, right?"

"It doesn't matter, it really doesn't matter!"

"."

Just when Ye Qing was thinking like this, Qianba Chongwu and other Japanese generals standing on the deck of the Southern Dynasty battleship were stunned!
In their eyes, both sides were filled with 'giant ships' whose deck height was higher than the total height of their battleships.

The well-equipped Ming navy officers stood behind the parapet on the deck, looking down at them with the eyes of the dwarf.

Not only that, so many cannon muzzles were pointed at them at low elevation angles.

"Cocked!"

The generals of the Japanese and Southern Dynasties looked up at the scene in front of them and couldn't help but secretly swallow their saliva.

"General, look at their warships. Not only are they tall and big, they are also inlaid with iron plates. They could sink us if they hit us!"

"I feel like a frog in a well"

Among these Japanese generals, there is rarely a tall person.

Yes, he is Chiba Chongwu, the general of the Japanese Southern Dynasty!

He hurriedly whispered in Japanese: "Baga, shut up, don't increase their ambition and destroy your own prestige."

As soon as he finished speaking, he even felt funny.

Does the Ming fleet still have much ambition?
Do they still need to destroy their own prestige?
All this is obvious!
"We thought that by learning the fighting shipbuilding technology of the Tang Dynasty, we would have a navy that could compete with us, but never thought that they would build an armored ship that could use fighting ships as fishing boats?"

"In the face of them, even a small witch can't even be considered a big witch!"

"I must get the right to be the commander, and I must board their handsome ship and carefully study their shipbuilding technology and gun craftsmanship!"

"."

Chiba Chongwu looked at the three tallest and largest "three-masted gunboats" with forty-eight cannons, and secretly made up his mind.

At the same time, they were secretly glad that this fleet was helping them and not the Northern Dynasty.

If this fleet were to help the Northern Dynasty, even half of the fleet would be a disaster for the Southern Dynasty!

After a while, they landed!
"Give us your weapons."

At this very moment,
Ten soldiers, the minimum height of 1.8 meters and as big as a human brown bear, blocked their way with their strong chests.

"idiot!"

Several Japanese generals from the Southern Dynasty cursed loudly and subconsciously drew their swords.

At this very moment,
A few arms as thick as legs were raised high and slapped hard towards their faces.

The next moment, their faces were bombarded by bear paws shaped like human hands! .
