My father Yong Le Emperor, you let me keep a low profile

Chapter 86 Golden Ge and Iron Horse Riding Fuso!
"Keep the door, no one can come in without my order."

When Wu Hai and others made the emperor into a pig's head, Wu Shan came to a room alone, and ordered his personal guards to guard the door, and no one was allowed to enter.

When he came to a tatami mat, Wu Shan sat cross-legged, took off the iron helmet on his head, turned it over slowly, uncovered a layer of cloth inside, and took out a letter.

Before the helmet set off, Zhu Gaoyu took it for a while, and when he returned it, Zhu Gaoyu confessed: "After the capital is captured, take out the letter inside and follow the instructions inside."

Looking at the letter without any signature, Wu Shan fell silent.

Zhu Gaoyu also told him that if you don't want to execute it after reading it, you can directly destroy the letter.

After so many years of ups and downs in the officialdom, Wu Shan can naturally understand the meaning of the words.

The content of this letter is absolutely shocking, even challenging the bottom line of human beings.

Rejection, Wu Shan never thought about it.

Zhu Gaoyu handed this letter to him, which represented his absolute trust in him.

He has no family background, no contacts, and he has climbed to the rank of captain, and it has come to an end.

It is almost impossible to go up one more level, or even get the final target title of a soldier.

Before Zhu Gaoyu left, he had already promised to break through the capital city and give him an earl.

A scholar died for his confidant, Zhu Gaoyu treated him with sincerity and gave him absolute trust, Wu Shan would never let Zhu Gaoyu down.

Taking a deep breath, he slowly opened the letter and took out the letter paper inside.

Wu Shan read the above content word by word without any change in the expression on his face.

After reading the last word, Wu Shan silently lit the letter and watched the letter burn quietly.

The content of the letter was not much different from what he had guessed.

He didn't know why His Highness hated the Wa Kingdom so much. As far as he knew, His Highness had lived in the palace since he was a child, and had never had contact with the Wa Kingdom, so there was no possibility of enmity.

But are these important?

unimportant.

No matter how the Japanese pirates offended His Highness, if His Highness said they deserved to die, they deserved to die.

After the letter was burned, Wu Shan put the iron helmet on his head, ready to carry out the order.

And he was going to execute it in his own name.

Your Highness is a man of gold, and he will surely achieve great success in the future, so he cannot be tainted with such a bad reputation.

As a subordinate, it is his duty to share the pressure for the monarch.

Maybe His Highness doesn't care about these things, but as a subordinate, he can't ignore them.

"Captain, we have captured their emperor."

As soon as Wu Shan got up, his younger brother Wu Hai's voice sounded outside the door.

"come in!"

As soon as Wu Shan finished speaking, the door was opened, and Wu Hai and the veteran's third child walked in excitedly dragging a pig's head.

"Brother, this is their emperor. My good fellow, the one who hid well enough is hidden in the secret room. If it wasn't for a brother who accidentally touched the switch, he might have run away."

Wu Hai was very excited, and excitedly told Wu Shan about the process of catching the emperor.

The third child also looked excited, looking at Wu Shan expectantly, waiting for him to nod.

As long as Wu Shan nodded, the credit of their team of brothers would not be lost.

However, Wu Shan's next action made the two of them freeze in place.

Wu Shan ignored the excited Wu Hai, and walked past the two of them and the dead pig-like Emperor Shimitsu on the ground, closed and opened the door.

Then he turned around and pulled out the dagger at his waist, and under the confused expressions of the two, directly stabbed Emperor Shōmitsu in the chest.

"Brother, what are you doing, this is... woo..."

As soon as the astonished Wu Hai spoke, the youngest next to him covered his mouth.

"Is there anyone else with him?"

Wu Shan wiped his dagger calmly, and asked the third child who covered Wu Hai's mouth.

"There is also a minister and his queen." The third child replied in a low voice.

Wu Shan nodded, "Go and deal with them, and clean up the corpses for me."

The third child nodded, let go of Wu Hai, and walked out quickly.

"Brother, they are..."

"I know!"

"Then why do you still want to kill him? It's all thanks to you."

"I don't need them to prove my merits."

"But you killed him, how will His Highness explain it? If His Highness blames him, the brothers' suffering for so long will be in vain."

Wu Shan looked up at Wu Hai, and said seriously: "The moment we set off, our contribution has already been determined."

Without waiting for Wu Hai to ask, Wu Shan continued: "Xiao Hai, you have to remember that at the bottom of the officialdom, you may be able to get promoted through merit, but if you want to be promoted after reaching a certain level, it is not a matter of merit."

"Both of us brothers were born with mud legs. I was able to get into the command position at the beginning, all because I followed Eunuch Zheng and risked my life to go to sea."

"The position above is one radish and one pit. Just because our two brothers have no background, my commanding life will be over."

"Fortunately, we met His Highness. He gave me a chance and gave me a stage to perform. Only then did my brother, a muddy leg, have further hope."

Wu Hai nodded seriously, "Brother, don't worry, I will be with His Highness for the rest of my life."

But after he finished speaking, he was still a little puzzled, pointing to the body of Emperor Shōmitsu and said, "What does that have to do with killing him?"

Wu Shan was silent for a while, and then slowly said: "Now there is a chance for our Wu family to reach the top and become a marquis or even a duke in the future."

Wu Hai looked dazed, wondering if his elder brother had caught a cold and had a fever, and the Earl promised by His Highness hadn't arrived yet, why did he think of the Marquis and the Duke again.

Ignoring Wu Hai, Wu Shan continued: "But this opportunity is too risky, and it's easy for my brother to be accused by thousands of people, so I thought about it and decided to change to a more tactful method."

"What can I do?" Wu Hai asked subconsciously.

"Hurry up, hurry up, whoever dares to procrastinate and drag Rag will be killed!"

Groups of Ming soldiers rushed into the houses of the Japanese pirates in Kyoto, and drove out all the people inside. At the same time, according to the order from above, they stripped off everyone's cotton clothes and did not allow them to wear shoes.

The Japanese pirates cried and struggled, begging the soldiers loudly to give them a cotton coat.

However, the expressions of the soldiers were as cold as ice, and they simply ignored them. They were driven out by waving weapons, and anyone who dared to struggle and resist was hacked to death.

The capital city of the Wa country is the most populous city in the Wa country.

Before Ashikaga Yoshichi left with his troops, the population was about 13.

With the troops and strong men defending the city being taken away, there are still more than 8 people.

After the chaos last night and the killing of the rebels today, the population is only over 7.

At this time, more than 7 people, driven by soldiers, were heading for an open space outside the city.

These people, regardless of men, women, old or young, are all barefoot and wearing single clothes.

Their bare feet stepped on the thick snow, which made them shiver.

Some couldn't hold on and fell to the ground. The soldiers didn't allow them to help them at all, and they just stepped forward to solve them with a knife.

Every time someone who fell was killed, there was a burst of weeping and wailing.

Soon everyone was gathered outside the city, shivering and crowded together under the guard of the soldiers.

Wu Shan led the officers and walked towards a high platform, looking coldly at the frightened crowd below.

"All quiet!"

As Wu Shan raised his hand, the members of the Shimadzu family hiding in the capital, holding whips, surrounded the crowd and shouted loudly to keep them quiet.

When the scene was completely quiet, Wu Shan said in a calm tone: "Your Japanese court sent people to kill the descendants of our Great Ming Kong Sage. Our Majesty was very angry and sent us to question your emperor."

As Wu Shan opened his mouth, those two dogs also held iron horns and loudly translated.

The common people of Pumpkin are at a loss. This is what their emperor did. What does it have to do with them?
"Originally, one person does things and one person is responsible. We will take away your emperor and go back to ask the crime."

"But yesterday we broke into the city, but your emperor and empress are nowhere to be found."

"We've got word that they're hiding among your people."

After saying this, Wu Shan looked at the crowd and said loudly: "Emperor Shōko, if you are still a monarch and don't want your subjects to suffer, then stand up yourself."

However, there was silence below, and the people of the Wa country in the crowd looked around blankly.

After waiting for a long time, no one stood up. Wu Shan turned around and sat on the chair, stretched out his hands to warm the fire, and looked at the crowd with a sneer.

There are many ways to slaughter the city, Wu Shan chose the most gentle one.

And this kind of excuse can also have an explanation with the court in the future.

They don't know the emperor, how can they force the emperor out without this method.

As for all of them freezing to death, and no one stood up, it only shows that their emperor has no regard for the life and death of the people.

And once this matter spreads in the Wa country, it will completely dispel the people of the Wa country, and the last thought about the royal family will also be very convenient for future rule.

Time passed bit by bit, and the barefooted Japanese people, wearing only shame clothes, stood shivering in the snow.

To make matters worse, it was snowing again in the sky.

Under such circumstances, no matter how strong a man is, he can't last for a few minutes with such thin clothes, let alone bare feet.

In less than half an hour, someone fell to the ground.

Looking at the people lying on the ground stiffly, there was a trace of commotion in the crowd.

All kinds of shouts kept ringing, and some even pushed each other, trying to escape from this place.

Wu Shan didn't care what these little melons shouted, and he didn't want to know.

Seeing that someone wanted to take the opportunity to create chaos and escape, Wu Shan raised his hand with a calm expression.

"Prepare!"

Following the order from a few thousand households, the soldiers held shields in one hand and weapons in the other, and looked coldly at the pumpkin who wanted to attack the line of defense.

"Flax fell, flax fell..."

Looking at the sharp front of the soldiers, some little pumpkins who were pushed and shoved screamed loudly.

But the people behind ignored him at all, and kept pushing forward, trying to use his body to break through the line of defense.

"Pfft!"

The spear pierced through the gap in the shield, and the sharp tip pierced the human body with ease.

Another half an hour later, under the order of the officer, the soldiers lined up and walked into the square, which was lying all over the ground.

Every time a corpse passed by, whether it was dead or not, it was stabbed.

"Captain, if we don't find their emperor, our credit will be greatly reduced."

Qianhu of the third team looked at the soldiers who were examining the corpses with a sad expression on their faces.

They didn't know that Japan was ruled by the shogunate, and the emperor was just a mascot, a puppet.

In their conception, if they break through the enemy's capital and fail to capture the opponent's emperor, then the credit will be discounted by half.

After all, once the emperor fled and went to other places, he could still call on the people to resist Daming, and it would be useless to break through the capital.

The other Qianhu also looked worried.

Everyone worked so hard to come here, isn't it for this little credit?

As a result, the emperor ran away, and the duck in his hand also flew.

Wu Shan also replied worriedly, and said to several thousand households: "The mountain is covered by heavy snow, I don't think he can run very far, let the brothers search the surrounding towns, if you want to see a person, if you want to see a dead body, you must find him."

"Yes!"

In the next few days, the Ming army searched frantically in the surrounding towns, and it was bound to find the missing emperor.

However, the emperor seemed to have evaporated from the world, and no matter how hard he searched, there was no clue.

The Japanese capital Kyoto was breached, and the army led by Ashikaga Yoshichi was destroyed. These two news spread almost at the same time.

After receiving these two pieces of news, many feudal lords were at a loss.

With the two leading forces gone, what should they do.

More importantly, Ashikaga Yoshichi took away most of their samurai, and even many feudal lords went with them.

As a result, after a big battle, it was all gone.

Without the patriarch, it would be a big deal to choose him again, but without the samurai, how should he resist Daming.

As for the idea of ​​taking advantage of the chaos to rise up, occupy one side of the land, and confront Daming, it's not that they haven't thought about it.

But looking at the two or three kittens and puppies under his command, let's not talk about whether he can take other land with this little strength, even if he takes it, he can't hold it.

What's more, Daming still didn't stop attacking in this cold winter day. The Ming army fought against the heavy snow, and attacked each feudal domain with all its might.

All the vassal lands that dare to resist will be killed in half according to the old rules after they are broken.

Such a cruel method made many forces terrified.

Some even couldn't bear the pressure, and they surrendered as soon as the sentry of the Ming army arrived.

With fewer and fewer feudal lands to resist, the marching speed of the Ming army became faster and faster.

Even in the later stage, even the army is not sent, and a ten-man team can take over a large area.

When Zhu Gaoyu led his troops to the capital of Japan, all the areas south of the capital were occupied.

"Congratulations, Your Highness!"

Outside the capital city, Wu Shan led his officers to welcome Zhu Gaoyu who came with the main army.

Zhu Gaoyu didn't respond immediately, but quietly looked at the dead city.

He has received Wu Shan's report. Although he thinks these little pumpkins are a bit cheap, he can't refuse the wishes of his subordinates.

"where?"

Zhu Gaoyu asked without beginning or end, Wu Shan understood the meaning, and pointed to an area outside the city.

"In order to prevent the plague, the last general ordered that all be buried there."

"But at the end of the day, I don't think it's very useful. Once it thaws after spring, the smell will definitely hit my head."

"Hahaha…"

Zhu Gaoyu laughed, and said to Wu Shan, "Don't worry, you can't smell it!"

After speaking, he waved his whip and rode his horse towards that area.

Wu Shan cupped his hands towards Liu Sheng, and quickly followed.

"Ugh!"

Looking at the distant figure, Liu Sheng sighed slightly.

He was a little worried about Zhu Gaoyu now.

According to his calculations, no less than 90 Japanese pirates have disappeared into this world due to various wars and killings since they landed in the Japanese country.

This is only half of the fight, and there is still a small half of the area that has not been occupied.

If the remaining half of the area is completely captured, Liu Sheng conservatively estimates that the number of deaths will be at least over one million.

A war that killed more than one million people in the enemy country.

Counting since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, there has never been such a situation.

Although Yan Shenggong was used as an excuse, it would still have a considerable impact on Zhu Gaoyu's reputation after the news spread.

Liu Sheng couldn't imagine what kind of arrangements Zhu Gaoyu would make for those well-fed, free-spirited Confucians.

Don't say that the dead are all enemies. For those people, as long as it is something they are not used to, even if Zhu Gaoyu killed their father and enemy, they will criticize and slander without hesitation.

The Generals Group wants to support Zhu Gaoyu, but once Zhu Gaoyu's reputation is ruined, it will be difficult to get a position.

Of course Zhu Gaoyu didn't know about Liu Sheng's worries, even if he knew, he wouldn't care.

Fame is nothing.

Since you can't be a sage king through the ages, then be a tyrant who is famous forever.

He will not be like his old man, who is tired like a dead dog just to wash that stain.

What's the use of being so busy.

The history books of later generations can't say what they want to say, and the descendants of later generations can't satirize as much as they want.

Even some people who liked other emperors degraded the old man to nothing.

Knowing the urine nature of those people in later generations, Zhu Gaoyu, who was also one of them, would not make himself so tired.

How chic and unrestrained in the first rebirth.

From now on, those powerful men who earn thousands of dollars a month and still worry about state affairs all day long, talk about the past and the present, and comment on the emperors of various generations, let them judge him.

"Your Highness, they are all here!"

When he came to a clearing covered with snow, Wu Shan pointed and whispered, "There are about 8 people in the city, including the surrounding towns, a total of more than 15 points, all of which are buried here."

Listening to Wu Shan's introduction and looking at the snowdrift in front of him, Zhu Gaoyu showed a cheerful smile, and when the smile subsided, he said softly:
"From today on, if you don't let me down, I will never let you down."

Wu Shan's body trembled slightly, he got off his horse, knelt down on one knee, put his hand on his chest, and looked at Zhu Gaoyu: "I am willing to go through fire and water for your highness, and sweep everything away!"

Zhu Gaoyu looked at him, nodded seriously, and then let out a low drink.

"Left Army!"

"Your Highness!"

Zhu Gaoyu held the whip and pointed to the place in front of him.

"Let people carry the things I ordered people to build."

"Yes!"

Zuo Jun responded, turned around and walked towards the rear camp.

Soon, a horse-drawn sled was brought over by soldiers.

A stone tablet was tied to the sled.

The stele is nine feet high and five feet wide.

There is no writing on one side, but there are dense carvings.

There are countless gold and iron horse soldiers on the ground, holding high the red flag and charging bravely.

On the other side, a short poem was written.

A poem Zhu Gaoyu has kept in his heart since he knew it.

The white mountains and the black waters are hated for thousands of years,
The country is destroyed and the family is destroyed.

Do not reason with wolves,
Jin Ge and iron horse step on Fusang.

This poem records the dreams of countless people, and Zhu Gaoyu engraved it here today.

From now on, no one may know what it means, but this is Zhu Gaoyu's declaration, and it is also for those who have been looking forward to it for countless years.

What you dreamed of, I made it for you.

ps: Some plots can't be written too much, it can only be like this, if you write too much, you will be shut down.
