Daming Greedy Wolf Star

Chapter 199 He Came?
Regarding Qian Yong and the other three, Zhu Zhanhe actually never intended to give up.

Their special experience had caused great harm to them both physically and mentally, especially the woman Zhu Sanfeng.

There are many ways to calm the inner hurt, but Zhu Zhanhe couldn't find a better one at the moment, and Zhu Sanfeng was even more troublesome, so he chose the most radical method.

Let them vent, and use the most extreme method to vent, so he let Jian Xiao go to Shenglong City, and let Qian Yong and Zhu Sanfeng go to Wa Kingdom.

Zhu Zhanhe didn't know whether it would be good or not, but he knew it would definitely be useful.

"How is it? Do you feel better?"

Zhu Zhanhe looked at Jane Xiao in front of him, and asked a question.

Compared with Qian Yong and Zhu Sanfeng, Jian Xiao's experience in Shenglong City was duller because Mu Sheng was also here, so he couldn't make decisions like Jian Xiao and Qian Yong.

Although Mu Sheng has changed a lot and has become more radical, he is still far different from Qian Yongzhu Sanfeng who was in Japan.

"Everything is well, I'm thinking of you, Prince Lao." Jian Xiao's smile was always very calm, no matter what time it was.

In fact, in the eyes of outsiders, Qian Yong is the team leader among the three and the one who makes decisions, but in fact he is not, at least not completely.

Qian Yong's character is more impulsive and he is suitable to be a warrior who charges into battle, while Jian Xiao's character is very calm.

On that trip, many decisions were actually made by Jian Xiao, especially when facing the difficulties faced by the Ottoman Empire and Timur Empire on the return trip.

Let's put it this way, Zhu Zhanhe values ​​Jian Xiao far more than Qian Yong and Zhu Sanfeng.

"Any thoughts?" Zhu Zhanhe pointed to the camp below.

"What is the son saying?" Jian Xiao bowed slightly, stepped back half a step, and stood behind Zhu Zhanhe very politely.

"Are you talking about Siam, or this weapon?"

"Let's talk about it." Zhu Zhanhe smiled noncommittally, making it difficult to tell what he was thinking.

"Everything you said..." Jane smiled and stood up straight, twirling her chin with her right hand, thoughtfully.

"As for Siam, we can push forward this time because Chen Jikuo's grandson is in their hands. I guess this is why His Highness took action this time."

"That's right." Zhu Zhanhe nodded with a smile, but his smile revealed a bit of coldness.

"Jian Xiao, actually I always feel that you are the person who can understand me best."

Jian Xiao was stunned, he didn't know what to say.

He knew what Zhu Zhanhe was talking about, because there was only one point that Zhu Zhanhe had not been understood by others.

Don't say that the people understand him and the military generals understand him. There is nothing wrong with them understanding him, but it all has a prerequisite, whether it is for a stable life or for military glory.

No one has ever thought about it from Zhu Zhanhe's perspective.

"Jian Xiao, tell me, is this saying that 'human nature is inherently good' true or false?"

Zhu Zhanhe looked at the Siamese camp that was slowly being buried, and the words in his mouth were a bit sour.

Jian Xiao lowered his head and said nothing.

"Actually, I'm not afraid of your jokes. At the beginning, I felt that I was a kind and kind person."

When he said this, the smile on Zhu Zhanhe's face was slightly mocking, but what he was mocking was himself.

"I remember someone once told me, never give up your goodness because of other people's evil, because in that case, you will be no different from them."

"I agreed with this sentence at first. I thought that as long as everyone is kind, no matter what the problem is, it can be solved. The bad people's words can be dealt with."

"Later I found out that this was wrong."

"Evil people do evil and deal with it, but the good people have been hurt and it's irreparable."

"Do you know? I actually made the cannonballs you just saw a long time ago, but I have never used them."

Jian Xiao suddenly trembled.

For people of this era, Zhu Zhanhe has a very magical power, that is, you can never find out his bottom, but what he does is still pushing you to keep testing the bottom. Where exactly.

Usually, the end of such people is usually not very good, such as Xie Jin, Huang Huai and others.

However, in the process of your testing, you will always be frightened by Zhu Zhanhe's ideas, again and again.

For example, at the beginning, he just killed the Japanese pirates who were causing trouble in Taizhou Prefecture in a way that ordinary people would not use. At that time, people already felt that it was too much.

Later, when he came up with the idea of ​​conquering the grassland and building a Beijing temple, it made people tremble again.

Jingguan was really a distant word at that time, because from the Zhao and Song Dynasties to the Yuan Dynasty, the Han people were bullied. When did they ever think of building a Jingguan?
Jingguan is the most cruel method in the eyes of both civil servants and ordinary people. Even military generals feel that this is the limit of their knowledge.

However, Zhu Zhanhe broke through this limit again.

The burning of Annan made Zhu Zhanhe famous again, and his efficiency in handling problems made almost everyone sad.

This method of solving both enemies and civilians together made everyone in the Ming Dynasty feel happy and scared at the same time.

Civil servants are different, they are simply afraid.

However, this is still not Zhu Zhanhe's limit.

Building a Jingguan in a royal palace can be said to be unprecedented and unprecedented. Because of the previous dynasty changes, most of the palaces of the old dynasty were retained, slightly repaired or torn down and rebuilt, and finally became the new dynasty's palaces. The royal capital.

The incident in Japan shocked everyone. First, they felt that Zhu Zhanhe's bottom line was really unfathomable, and you would never guess what more cruel methods he would have.

That's right, it's not that you can't guess that it will happen, but that you can't guess whether it will happen or not.

Now, Jian Xiao can see it.

The burning egg really subverted Jian Xiao's cognition, because in his opinion, if it weren't for Zhu Zhanhe, no one would have thought of doing this.

After patting Jian Xiao on the shoulder, Zhu Zhanhe turned around and left with his guards.

Zhu Zhanhe never expected anyone to understand him, not anyone, because he knew that in this era, if he chose this path, perhaps future generations would praise him, but at the moment, there are definitely still many critical voices.

Not only what he did before, but also what Qian Yong and Zhu Sanfeng did in Wa country will be named under his name.

-

Sado Island.

Looking at the red sea water, Zhang Fu felt a little uncomfortable.

It should be said that Zhang Fu is also a battle-hardened man. He participated in the Battle of Jingnan and once built a Jingguan in Jiaozhi, although it was only a small Jingguan with 2000 people.

However, compared with the scene in front of him, the Jingguan he built really pales into insignificance.

Seeing Qian Yong and Zhu Sanfeng commanding the Mu family army to throw the corpses into the sea expressionlessly, Zhang Fu frowned tightly.

He was not disgusted with this kind of behavior. As a military general, and a military general who had experienced surrender and rebellion like Chen Jikuan, Zhang Fu knew very well that the approach of Qian Yong and others in front of him was the most correct.

But the scene brought about by this correct approach is also extremely bloody.

"The British Lord." Qian Yong heard the soldier's report, and then he knew that Zhang Fu was coming, and he quickly went up with Zhu Sanfeng.

"No need to be polite." Zhang Fu stretched out his hand to help Qian Yong and Zhu Sanfeng.

He is the Duke of the country, and in the Ming Dynasty, he can be said to be the highest peak that the Zhu family can reach, while Qian Yong and Zhu Sanfeng only have identities now.

Let alone a lord, he doesn't even have an official position. It is appropriate to salute him when you see him.

However, behind the two of them was Zhu Zhanhe, and Zhang Fu didn't dare to trust him at all.

"It seems like I'm late?" Zhang Fu glanced around again.

"There's no way." Qian Yong's smile was so formulaic that one could tell at a glance that it wasn't sincere.

"Beating these people is like children, it's really not difficult."

What Qian Yong said was really not bragging.

The Ezo people have lived in Hokkaido for a long time. According to the records of the Japanese country, these Ezo people are "outstanding in martial arts", but they are not very good in either armor or weapons.

In short, he has good physical fitness, but not much technology, and can't even make a decent weapon.

In the past, Zhu Zhanhe and his [-] Mu family troops were able to crush the Japanese army. Now they are still the same people, that is, without the Shenji Battalion. Isn't it easy to capture an Ezo?

What's more, Qian Yong and Zhu Sanfeng's actions can be said to be unscrupulous. There is no such thing as benevolence and righteousness. Whether it is a battle on the battlefield or the handling of prisoners afterwards, it is just one word: kill.

"Will it be difficult?" Zhang Fu didn't care about Qian Yong's formulaic smile, but asked with concern.

"Not at the moment." Qian Yong shook his head slightly.

"Actually, we wiped out more than 1 Ezo people last time. They already wanted to retreat. Later, it was probably when the news of the discovery of the mineral vein spread that they came back again."

"This time we wiped out more than [-] enemies. Adding them all together, plus those before His Royal Highness left Japan, the losses of these Ezo people should have exceeded [-]."

"The Ezo side doesn't have a large population to begin with. After sending out troops, they have repeatedly hit the wall without any gains. I think even if there is a follow-up offensive, it won't be very big, and their morale will not be very good."

"If you need anything, just ask." Zhang Fu nodded and added.

If they don't want it, then there's no point in rushing. Even Zhang Fu wants to keep Sado Island safe, but as the saying goes, going too far is never enough.

What's more, Zhang Fu also knew that Sado Island belonged to Yunnan, not the imperial court.

"Thank you for your concern, Mr. British." Qian Yong and Zhu Sanfeng bowed at the same time.

Judging from the behavior of the two of them now, Zhang Fu really couldn't imagine that it was these two people who made the decision to kill all the prisoners of war before.

Oh, no, that’s not everything. As the saying goes, the stronger ones are better out of the short ones, and the relatively strong ones are handcuffed and shackled to work in the mines of Sado Island.

After taking another look at the people coming in and out of the mine, Zhang Fu glanced at Qian Yong and Zhu Sanfeng with some fear, then nodded and turned to leave.

Zhang Fu's consciousness told him that these two people would become very dangerous in the future.

-

Everything this year is very unusual, from the beginning of the tax system, to Zhu Zhanhe's new weapons, to Sado Jinshan starting to produce output, many people can see the undercurrent in this.

And just when most people were waiting to see what happened, a person came to Annan without any warning, surprising everyone.

This person's name is Zhu Gaochi.

……

Thang Long City.

Zhu Zhanhe looked at his uncle with an expression of disbelief on his face, and his eyes almost popped out of his head.

"You...why are you here?" Zhu Zhanhe was stuttered by Zhu Gaochi's arrival.

"What's wrong, your uncle, I can't come over?" Zhu Gaochi said with a smile.

"By the way, this is also the territory of Ming Dynasty, right?"

When Zhu Zhanhe heard this, he couldn't laugh or cry for a moment.

What does he mean?Obviously not!Zhu Zhanhe didn't believe that his uncle couldn't guess what he wanted to ask.

The crown prince is the heir apparent and the future emperor. Like the emperor, there are complicated procedures for the prince to leave the capital or even the palace.

Including but not limited to notifying the Ministry of Rites, and then notifying all officials along the way, various regulations, and preparation of various things, it is very troublesome.

This is okay, after all, you just need to be prepared, but there is one thing that goes against the rules!
When the old man wanted to lead the expedition in person, why were so many officials opposed?Aren't you just afraid of something happening?
If something happens to the emperor, the entire Ming Dynasty will be in chaos!
Although Zhu Gaochi is not as good as the emperor Zhu Di, he may not be much different.

The three brothers of the Zhu family have been fighting for a long time before. Although the eldest son has been made the prince, his son has been made the grandson, and the second and third sons have also been vassalized, anyone with a discerning eye can see it. The current situation is still very serious.

Zhu Zhanhe has repeatedly performed extraordinary feats and has never disappeared from people's sight. Needless to say, Zhu Di has repeatedly given in to his grandson's guilt, and even Yunnan is about to let him go.

At this time, the crown prince Zhu Gaochi left Beijing without saying anything without any warning. What was coming to the territory of his good brother Zhu Gaoxu?

But sometimes, the most likely thing to happen is the least likely to happen.

"No, if grandpa has any instructions, why don't you just send someone to deliver the message? Why do you need to come in person?"

Zhu Zhanhe didn't understand very much, and a big stone weighed on his heart.

He was not worried about what the old man would do, such as whether he would abandon his family and prepare to consolidate the crown prince's position.

He was worried about his uncle's safety in Yunnan.

As I just said, sometimes the most possible is the least likely.

If something happens to Zhu Gaochi in Yunnan, Zhu Gaoxu's family will be the first to bear the brunt. They will be held accountable regardless of whether they did it or not.

Therefore, the Zhu Gaoxu family not only would not harm Zhu Gaochi, but also had to send people to protect him. Once Zhu Gaochi had any shortcomings, even if the family had enough evidence to prove that they were not responsible, the result would still not be much better.

"Get in the car and talk."

You have to be polite when joking. Zhu Zhanhe is dealing with the swarming people from Nanzhang and Khmer. If Zhu Gaochi is here, he is just looking for trouble.

As the saying goes, if something happens, no one can run away.

Zhu Zhanhe didn't say anything. Zhu Gaochi was naturally happy to think so of him.

Of course, he would be even more happy if Zhu Gaochi returned home.

"I came here for three things this time." Zhu Gaochi started to say with a smile as he pulled Zhu Zhanhe into his carriage.

"First of all, I just came to see you two."

"It's true that you two will be a vassal for now, but it won't be like this, right? If your grandpa doesn't issue an edict, you won't plan to return to Beijing?"

……

Zhu Zhanhe moved with great effort, and then looked at Zhu Gaochi with a look that looked like he was mentally retarded.

He wanted to say two things now.

First, after the vassal king becomes a vassal, he is not allowed to enter the capital without the emperor's edict. Isn't this a fucking rule?I dare to enter Beijing without the old man’s edict?

Secondly, don’t you have any ideas about your body shape? ? ?Do you have to pull me into the same carriage? ? ?
"Uh……"

Zhu Gaochi seemed to understand the meaning in Zhu Zhanhe's eyes, smiled awkwardly, and then moved his body "quietly".

"This second thing is mainly because I want to hear your views on the new tax system."

"New tax system?" The expression on Zhu Zhanhe's face became serious.

"What do you want to ask?"

Regarding this issue, Zhu Zhanhe will not hide his secrets. Firstly, it is not necessary. Secondly, he has taught the court to the church, which will save him a lot of trouble.

"Now the imperial court has launched a new tax system, and it has also put on the agenda what you said about the government and gentry paying taxes together, and now it has been implemented around Yingtian."

Speaking of this matter, Zhu Gaochi's face looked distressed.

"I think you can probably guess that the officials and gentry are not cooperating. There is still no progress in the summer tax, and it is even far lower than the progress in previous years."

"Is there anything you can do?"

"Yes." Zhu Zhanhe nodded.

He came up with this method, so he naturally has a solution, otherwise he wouldn't have come up with it.

"The first method is very simple, just like how my nephew dealt with those corrupt officials in Yangzhou."

"No." Zhu Gaochi waved his hand and refused.

"Previously, many officials have been implicated because of Huang Huai and others' affairs. If it was a normal matter, it would be fine, but now it is a matter related to the interests of the entire world of officials and gentry."

"If we have to deal with it, there will be too many people to deal with, and the court may not be able to bear it."

"Then we can only use the second method." Zhu Zhanhe smiled and stretched out two fingers.

Seeing this, Zhu Gaochi quickly sat up straight and his ears perked up. He didn't want to miss even a word.

This was a major event related to the future of the entire Ming Dynasty. Zhu Gaochi knew very well how much benefit the new tax system and the unified payment of grain by officials and gentry would bring to the Ming Dynasty if they were fully implemented.

This is the reason why he came to Yunnan in person.

Because Zhu Di had no reason to summon Zhu Zhanhe to Beijing, but he still needed Zhu Zhanhe's advice.
