Daming Greedy Wolf Star

Chapter 166 The Good Show of Cannibalism (Two in One)

After receiving Zhu Zhanhe's letter, Zhu Di immediately started to make preparations to spread the news that Daming had discovered grain seeds with several times or even ten times the yield per mu.

Speaking of it, Zhu Di was still a little emotional, because at the beginning when Jin Yiwei spread the news, many people didn't believe it.

It's as if you suddenly told a person in the 21st century that human beings can exceed the speed of light and can make space transitions, and you can immigrate to centaurs and punch Avatars and kick trisolarans immediately.

For the people of Ming Dynasty, it is pure fantasy to find a grain seed that yields ten times that of rice and wheat per mu, and they think it is more credible to say that it is twice as much.

But after the news spread that these grains were discovered by Zhu Zhanhe, the common people were uncharacteristically convinced!

After learning about this at the beginning, Zhu Di felt a sense of crisis in his heart, but it disappeared soon.

He can understand that these are actually the results of Zhu Zhanhe's tough attitude towards the outside world, which made the people superstitious about him.

Although he felt that this was a threat to an emperor, it was not considered a threat.

First of all, Zhu Zhanhe has made it clear that after a certain number of seeds have been cultivated, some will be sent to Yingtian.

Secondly, Zhu Zhanhe didn't have that many available people.

The lineage of King Han did not have a deep foundation in Yunnan, and it was not even as deep as in Yingtian.

You must know that the news of the food has not been spread in Yunnan, because Zhu Gaoxu has always kept a secret attitude, and he is afraid that Siam and other countries will take too much action after knowing the news.

Secondly, although the Hanwang lineage has the right to self-government, the Mu family is a problem that can never be avoided. Now the people in Yunnan still obey the Mu family more, because the Mu family brought them this kind of self-government in the past ten years or so. Seed a good life.

In the end, the King of Han's line had no available generals.

Needless to say, although Yunnan claims to have 30 troops guarding it, there are actually not so many. The most important thing is that these are soldiers from the Mu family, which is an obstacle to the line of the King of Han.

General, even counting Li Bin and Tan Zhong, plus Xu Heng who had followed the King of Han to the domain early, these are only three generals.

Even if you add Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Zhanhe, five, what can you do?

Other than that, Zhu Zhanhe hadn't made any overstepping actions before, plus his response to Tian last time...

Therefore, Zhu Di felt that these were not problems.

Perhaps, no one thought that Emperor Yongle would have a day of being emotional...

-

Wajima, Inaba.

As the Japanese people who went out to buy for the Ming army were all beheaded by the great feudal lords everywhere, Zhu Zhanhe moved again.

Pulling one hair and moving the whole body, Zhu Zhanhe resolutely attacked Inaba, and with the cooperation of the Inaba Japanese people, he wiped out all the nobles and samurai classes in Inaba.

Now Zhu Zhanhe is watching a play.

About [-] meters in front of him, Japanese nobles and warriors were brought up one by one, and the executioner beside him was holding a big knife, his face full of excitement.

Before that, this kind of thing was done by the soldiers of the Ming army, but today is different.

Today's executioners are Japanese people.

Seeing this kind of drama, Zhu Zhanhe expressed that he liked it very much.

"It's time! Slash!"

Looking at the sun above his head, Zhu Ling gave the order of execution.

Those Japanese people can't understand Chinese, but it doesn't mean they can't understand Zhu Ling's hand gestures.

Following Zhu Ling's order, the executioners raised their knives and fell. Most of them cut off the heads of the nobles who had bullied them. A few of them, like Zhu Zhanhe back then, The knife got stuck in the neck.

But this actually made them more excited.

"Next batch!" Zhu Ling was not in a hurry, and waited quietly until all those people were dealt with before ordering another batch.

This scene is very monotonous, just keep cutting, and then bring new people up, cut again, and pull people...

It is very boring for Li Bin, Tan Zhong and others, because they have seen it countless times before, and they have even tried it themselves. For them, this kind of drama is really not enough to watch.

But it's different for Zhu Zhanhe, he has a special emotion that Li Bin and others don't have, so he likes it very much.

After reading it, the execution ground was already full of piles and the ground was completely stained, so Zhu Zhanhe left with some unfinished business.

"Your Highness, do you have any thoughts?"

Following Zhu Zhanhe all the way back to the camp, Li Bin asked curiously.

Zhu Zhanhe's behavior today was really abnormal in his opinion, but Li Bin couldn't guess the reason for Zhu Zhanhe's abnormality, so he classified it in this aspect.

"What do you think?" Zhu Zhanhe slumped on the chair very comfortably, and asked very casually.

"At the end of the day, I see that you are very happy today, so I feel..."

As a general, Li Bin's mind is not as complicated as that of a civil servant, but now he can see that he guessed wrong, so he scratched his head in embarrassment and replied.

"Then what do you plan to do next? Do you want to continue to advance? Or let the soldiers rest for a while?"

"First send some people to escort those Japanese people who are willing to work in the mine to Shi Jian, and then let the soldiers take this opportunity to rest for three days."

"By the way, send an order to Wang Jinghong to take Shenjiying to Wakasa for a couple of rounds!"

"Yes!" Li Bin cheered up, and immediately took the order to leave.

Wakasa is not an ordinary place. If you land from there, you can reach Lake Biwa, the largest lake in the Wa Kingdom, and below Lake Biwa is the capital of the Wa Kingdom, Heian-kyo.

Therefore, if there are traces of the Ming army along the coast of Wakasa, the Wa Kingdom will definitely become tense.

However, the happier Zhu Zhanhe was, the more depressed someone was.

Stone sees Yinshan.

Zheng Heng and Chen Maozheng watched boredly as the miners were all motivated to help Daming mine.

They didn't understand why these Japanese people were so motivated to work for Daming before, but after knowing Zhu Zhanhe's plan, they understood, and at the same time, they admired Zhu Zhanhe even more in their hearts.

Although the Ming army has lost more than 3 people since the conquest of the Wa Kingdom, they have gained several times or even ten times the amount of labor they lost, and they are all young and strong.

If it is reckless, not only young and strong, this number will be even more.

"Tell me, if they knew they had been tricked, would they still work so hard?" Zheng Heng was very bored, watching the miners coming and going and throwing a question to Chen Mao.

"You think it's hard to say? But I think it should." Chen Mao yawned.

"His Royal Highness used a conspiracy to let them know that they were sacrificing their lives for a better life, but they had no choice but to jump in because their former great feudal lord treated them worse."

"Besides, these people used to work hard all their lives, and they might not be able to let their families live the life they are now. Now it can be said that they can let their families enjoy a year after working for a year. Isn't that very worthwhile?"

"Isn't that the main reason for their drive?"

"Well, so to speak..." Zheng Heng nodded thoughtfully.

"However, thinking about those Japanese pirates plundering my Daming Sea in the past, I suddenly feel quite relieved. Maybe this is why An Yuanhou would follow His Royal Highness's orders wholeheartedly after coming to the Japanese country."

"Need to say?" Chen Mao rolled his eyes at Zheng Heng.

"We are all pretty good, but Marquis Anyuan commanded the Shenji Battalion. In his early years, he even led his troops to chase down the Japanese pirates to the sea of ​​Qingzhou, and returned with a big victory."

"He has seen what the people of Ming Dynasty were like when they were looted by Japanese pirates. Those of us who have never seen it will be indignant, let alone him."

"But..."

"Zheng Heng! Where is Chen Mao!?"

Just when Zheng Heng and Chen Mao were still chatting boredly, a voice rang out, which made them both tremble instantly.

Looking back, Tan Zhong led a large group of people walking towards here.

"Uncle Xinning, does His Royal Highness have any orders?" Zheng Heng and Chen Mao greeted him with smiles on their faces.

The camp of generals has always been relatively harmonious, at least not like the camp of civil servants who counts against generals while counting their own people.

But even so, the camp of military commanders is also graded up and down.

Tan Zhong is Xinningbo, just an earl, while Zheng Heng and Chen Mao are Marquis of Wu'an and Marquis of Ningyang, two Marquises.

For a long time, although the relationship between the generals has been pretty good, it is extremely rare for the Marquis and the Earl to greet each other with a smile.

"Marquis Wu'an and Marquis Ningyang are polite, I'm just an errand runner." Facing Zheng Heng's smiles, although Tan Zhong was very helpful, he didn't go to the sky.

"His Royal Highness broke into Inaba, dealt with the local feudal lords and powerful warriors in Inaba, and then recruited a group of Japanese people to come to the mine. You two will accept it."

"There are Japanese people again? Or from Inaba?" Zheng Heng and his two looked dull.

You know, Inaba is far away from Iwami, and there are two Wafu kingdoms, Izumo and Hoki, in the middle. Although the area is the same as Iwami, that is because Iwami is already big. reason.

It is really unimaginable to send people across two closed countries now.

"They are all voluntary?" Zheng Heng and Chen Mao looked at the chattering Japanese people not far behind, and couldn't believe it.

"That's for sure." Tan Zhong gave an affirmative answer without hesitation.

"Didn't you two see how many people we brought? If they didn't do it voluntarily, then even though we are armed, it's hard to keep an eye on them."

"That way..." Zheng Heng felt a little numb.

He knew that the preferential treatment Zhu Zhanhe gave to the Japanese people was not that as long as they worked in the mine, they would be exempted from tax all the time, but that they had to work all the time.

Right now, the Japanese people from Anyun, Bingo, Izumo, and Hoki are all heading this way, and they all come to work in the mine for tax exemption, which cannot be allocated at all.

Overcrowded.

"His Royal Highness said..." Tan Zhong looked around before sticking to the two of them, and said in a low voice.

"Before, there was no way but to use this kind of generous treatment to induce the Japanese people to work in the mine. Now that we have conquered more and more places, the governance itself is more troublesome. It is better to let them compete by themselves."

"This can alleviate the trouble that we cannot rule here, secondly, it can relieve the pressure on the mines, so that there will be no shortage of personnel, and thirdly, it can stimulate them and make them feel a sense of crisis, thereby increasing the mine's output. .”

"Won't it be beautiful to kill three birds with one stone?"

Zheng Heng and Chen Mao looked at each other, only feeling that the three views had been subverted.

You let people work for you, just give some food, let them work hard and don't say anything, and now let people compete with each other, from verbal hard work to real hard work?

"Then, what will His Highness Shizi plan?" Zheng Heng didn't realize it until a long time later, and asked Tan Zhong in a low voice.

"Well..." Tan Zhong hesitated for a moment, but after thinking about it, he said it anyway.

"It's nothing, just continue to push forward. You also know that His Royal Highness's original intention is to completely eliminate the Japanese plague. If you don't solve the Japanese shogun, then everything will be in vain."

Zheng Heng heard the words and glanced at Chen Mao, but found that Chen Mao was also looking at him.

There is no doubt that both of them are heartbroken.

It was nothing before, just beating some big feudal lords, but now Zhu Zhanhe has already won Inaba, as long as he wins Tajima and Tanba, he can go straight to Heian-kyo!
At that time, the resistance encountered by the Ming army will be the strongest, and the enemies it faces will also change from the militia to the permanent army of the Japanese state.

Victory should not be a problem, but the difficulty will definitely increase.

"Thank you, Uncle Xinning." Zheng Heng patted Tan Zhong on the shoulder with a friendly smile all over his face.

"When the battle here is over, we will treat Xinningbo to drink after we return to Daming!"

"Hey! Why are you talking about this!" Tan Zhong waved his hand, seemingly carelessly, but actually said with a bit of showing off.

"You two don't know yet. After this battle is over, Fengcheng Hou Li Bin and I are probably going to Yunnan!"

"Ah? This..." Zheng Heng and Chen Mao's reactions were exactly the same, with surprise on their faces.

"Is this what His Royal Highness said? Or..."

"Hey! What is His Royal Highness saying? His Royal Highness made our military commander very proud during the Northern Expedition. Even if we can't help him, we can't hurt him either!"

"Without His Majesty's permission, we wouldn't dare even if His Majesty said so. Isn't this harmful?"

Zheng Heng and Chen Mao were full of envy when they heard the words.

Others didn't know, but they knew, because Chen Jikuo told all about Jiaozhi when he was taken to Yingtian Mansion, so they knew that Zhu Zhanhe planned to do something to Jiaozhi.

However, Zhu Zhanhe was delayed because Zhu Di called Zhu Zhanhe to the capital that time, and Zhu Zhanhe took over the errand of the Wa Kingdom.

Li Bin and Tan Zhong are going to Yunnan with Zhu Zhanhe, which means that there will be wars to fight in the future, which is what the generals are most envious of.

There is a war, which means that there is a chance to gain military merit.

Although it may not be possible to get enough military exploits to be promoted, but staying in Yingtian Mansion definitely has no chance.

"Okay, don't tell the two of you any more, I have to go back!" Tan Zhong's complacency only passed now, and he remembered that he had to return to Inaba.

"I have to trouble you two this time, His Royal Highness wants to transfer [-] battalions to the front line."

When Zheng Heng and Chen Mao heard the words, their hearts moved even more.
