Ming Dynasty: He was ordered to give lectures in prison, but Lao Zhu eavesdropped and made people nu

Chapter 183 Hu Weiyong proposed to offer prisoners to the Imperial Ancestral Temple

However, after listening to Lin Che’s colonial theory.

There are also several large island chains, which have benefited the Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Yuanzhang was reluctant to just kill tens of thousands of precious people in vain.

These beasts have eaten the rice grains of the Ming Dynasty for so many years.

Instead of killing them with a knife, it would be better to break up these people and send them overseas to colonize.

Even in a colonial land, someone would die unexpectedly just by digging a hoe into the soil.

It also contributed to the development of Ming Dynasty.

From His Majesty's mouth, which is ruthless in murdering people, I heard Xu Tuzhi's words that innocent people should not be wronged.

Liu Sanwu couldn't help but feel a little funny.

However, he did not laugh because of Zhu Yuanzhang's words.

Instead, he laughed at the stupid actions of the officials and gentry who let the Japanese invaders into Yingtian and dug their own graves.

Your Majesty decided not to kill easily this time.

That means that they will fall into a desperate situation where even death is difficult.

Seeing that Liu Sanwu understood what he meant, Zhu Yuanzhang continued:
"Liu Aiqing, what I want you to do is to stabilize the court after I start arresting people. Can you do it?"

It can attract two thousand Japanese pirates and pass through countless checkpoints without any obstacles.

Go directly to the officials and gentry of Yingtian Mansion.

The involvement must be intricate.

Even if Zhu Yuanzhang finishes collecting the evidence, he will inevitably encounter counterattacks when arresting people.

The country gentry is easier to deal with.

If you dare to resist, just send the guards to ransack your home.

Civil servants in the court who are involved in this matter can naturally be killed.

however.

Others are saddened by the death of rabbits and foxes, or they are civil servants who want to gain fame.

Although their motives are hateful, they can no longer use the knife easily.

otherwise.

It will definitely cause shock in the world.

It is not conducive for Zhu Yuanzhang to implement various new policies and many strategies provided by Lin Che.

Zhu Yuanzhang needed Liu Sanwu and others to stabilize the court.

This will give him time to slowly deal with those unscrupulous people who are of no use to the country.

of course.

During this period, Liu Sanwu will inevitably receive overwhelming criticism.

What Liu Sanwu did was bound to be misunderstood by the ministers of the DPRK and China.

However, the people of the world, misled by the gentry, are likely to regard him as the traitor who persecuted the loyal and good in the play.

It was naturally impossible for Zhu Yuanzhang to let his ministers who helped him suffer such infamy.

But he doesn't have any good way to control public opinion.

Fortunately, the school inspection found sweet potato seedlings, which were originally planned to be taken care of by Liu Sanwu.

But by some strange combination of circumstances, he became a tool to clean up Liu Sanwu's future reputation.

"Your Majesty trusts me so much that I am willing to die for your Majesty!"

Liu Sanwu pondered for a moment, with a look of determination on his face.

Kneel down to Zhu Yuanzhang and receive the errands of taking care of the sweet potato seedlings and suppressing the court in the future.

The king and his ministers chatted for a while longer before Liu Sanwu left the imperial garden.

……

The next day, early morning.

As usual, after going through the process of shouting "Long Live the Mountain", Gu Shi, Minister of the Ministry of War, went out to report to Zhu Yuanzhang:
"Your Majesty, the heads and prisoners of the Japanese pirates who attacked our country the day before yesterday have been escorted to the Gyeonggi Camp for custody."

"I wonder how Your Majesty will deal with these Japanese pirates?"

Nearly 800 Japanese slaves surrendered, and the Ministry of War prison could not be closed at all.

Gu Shi simply drove all these Japanese slaves to the military camp of Gyeonggi Camp.

Today's Gyeonggi camp is full of the most heroic warriors in the world.

Unlike ordinary soldiers, they have an inexplicable fear of Japanese pirates.

Having them in custody is safer than locking these Japanese pirates in prison.

Zhu Yuanzhang did not answer Gu Shi's question immediately. Instead, he glanced at the ministers and said calmly:
"I don't know what you, my dear friends, think about how to deal with these Japanese slaves!"

Soon, Prime Minister Hu Weiyong stood up:

"Your Majesty, with such a great victory, we should sacrifice prisoners to the Imperial Ancestral Temple!" The other ministers, who were half a step too slow to react, couldn't help but feel a little annoyed when they heard this.

Then they all agreed.

"Your Majesty, our customs and ports have been repeatedly harassed by Japanese pirates. Now that we have avenged our great vengeance, it is time to report it to our ancestors!"

"Japanese pirates come and go like the wind. This is a rare victory in the world, and it is inevitable to sacrifice prisoners."

"We should really sacrifice prisoners to spread the word to the world, in order to frighten the Japanese slaves, and maybe we can make them a real vassal state of our Ming Dynasty."

Zhu Yuanzhang heard the officials clamoring for him to sacrifice prisoners.

Veins twitched in the corners of his eyes.

Even a prince like Zhu Biao who is not good at military affairs.

Everyone knows that the victory of only 2000 people is not considered a great victory for today's Ming Dynasty.

It is precisely because these prisoners were Japanese slaves that this military achievement has weight.

But that's about it.

If we really pull these Japanese pirates without knowing it, they can break into the hinterland of Yingtian and massacre innocent Ming people.

What if there is a ceremony to dedicate captives to the Ancestral Temple?

Not only Japan will not surrender.

Emperor Hongwu will also become the laughing stock of the whole world.

After all, it was only after the enemy country captured the nobles and royal family.

The emperor reported his achievements to his ancestors.

How could anyone catch a group of nameless Japanese pirates on their own territory and offer them as prisoners?

Not only would this move not improve Emperor Hongwu's reputation.

On the contrary, it will make uninformed people think that he is incompetent and a man who loves success.

otherwise.

How could he still have the nerve to hold a prisoner sacrifice ceremony when the enemy invaded the capital?
"Have you finished talking?"

Zhu Yuanzhang silently glanced at the several ministers who advised him to go to the Ancestral Temple to offer prisoners.

Keep his name silently in your heart.

Then, he snorted:
"The Ministry of War listened to the order and took all the remaining Japanese pirates outside Yingtian City to be beheaded."

"All the heads were sent to the coastal areas where Japanese pirates invaded the most and built into the Jingguan!"

"The corpses were left to die in the wilderness for ten days, and then they were all burned."

Zhu Yuanzhang actually wanted to abandon the Japanese pirates directly in the wilderness.

It's just that he heard Lin Che say something before, saying that corpses can cause plague.

Therefore, he could only crush these Japanese pirates into ashes.

Many civil servants heard about Zhu Yuanzhang, but not only did they not adopt their guidance.

The Japanese pirates were sacrificed to the Imperial Ancestral Temple.

On the contrary, they also committed cruel killings of prisoners.

Immediately someone jumped out and shouted:

"Your Majesty, the number of prisoners killed is unknown! Your Majesty, please think twice!"

Upon hearing this, Prince Zhu Biao couldn't help but look back, wondering who was so stubborn.

Dare to wield the traditional moral stick on such a big issue of right and wrong.

Zhu Yuanzhang frowned.

Staring coldly at the civil servant who spoke out, he asked:

"Wang An, I'm very curious, what unknown consequences will arise from killing the Japanese pirates?"

The young censor named Wang An wanted to make a generous speech.

But suddenly he noticed that the minister who had just advised Zhu Yuanzhang to sacrifice prisoners.

They actually lowered their heads on this issue.

He was the only one who jumped out stupidly.

So much so that he blushed and failed to answer Zhu Yuanzhang's question.

"Humph, another person who wants to buy his straightness by asking for a name!"

Zhu Yuanzhang patted the armrest of the dragon chair heavily.

Coldly shouted:

"Come here, take off this rat's official uniform, throw him into the sky prison, and interrogate him severely!"

heard.

The Han generals in the hall stepped forward one after another.
