People in the Ming Dynasty are lawless

Chapter 371 The Japanese slave kid was captured and sent to Liaodong to mine iron ore! The Japanese slave colonial area launched a massive attack! !

Zhu Di sent all the servants away.

Then he poured a bowl of wine for Zhu Gaochi himself.

In fact, it has been a long time since the father and son sat and chatted face to face like this.

The atmosphere was quite awkward for a while.

But Zhu Di still pretended to be calm, sat across from him, and poured himself a bowl of wine.

Both of them were embarrassed and didn't speak.

In the quiet back garden, insects and frogs chirp constantly.

After a gap of a stick of incense, Zhu Di said: "Before I became a father, I always disliked your figure, saying that you were fat, and that you were not as good at fighting as your two younger brothers.

He also said that you don't look like your father's son. These words should have hurt you a lot.

Because Zhu Gaochi looked at Zhu Di with a bit of flinching.

After Zhu Di finished saying this, he looked at Zhu Gaochi even more embarrassed.

Even Mr. Chen said that you are a talented person. As a father, he realized that it was wrong and apologized to you.

Have you ever seen a father apologize to his son? "

Zhu Gaochi was stunned by Zhu Di's words.

As he spoke, he picked up the wine bowl, raised his head and drank it in one gulp, probably to cover up his embarrassment.

He was apologizing, but he was so powerful that he seemed to want to eat Zhu Gaochi.

After he finished coughing, he mocked himself and said, "Dad is not used to drinking wine from the south, but it is the Shao Dao Zi from the north that makes me so happy."

No wonder Zhu Gaochi has been afraid of Zhu Di his whole life.

Zhu Di slammed the wine bowl on the table, "Father knew that, so I apologized to you."

Shouldn't it?
These words are very hurtful to say.

There was still a bit of expectation on my son's face just now, but now it's gone.

But now that you say it, it means that you really disliked me before.

He has read so many Four Books and Five Classics, and he has read so many teachings from sages, who told him that he must be filial to his father.

But why don't you dislike it now?

He drank it very quickly, and he choked and coughed violently after one gulp.

He quickly explained: "My child, don't get me wrong, as a father he is a man on the battlefield, not so polite.

I don’t know why, but I heard my father say it so frankly.

Being bored in the house all the time, I developed this lazy interest and gained weight.

As a father, I punish myself with this glass of wine. "

Although his father smiled at him in the yard just now, he was quite touched.

There is no bad father in the world, so he could only hide these emotions.

He didn't mean to forgive his father so easily.

This conversation between father and son is probably going to be difficult to bridge.

Just because I have made some achievements.

Zhu Gaochi had been hurt, and Zhu Di himself seemed to have said the wrong thing.

After mumbling for a while, he said: "Father, it seems that you are at fault."

Even though my father said that I looked down on you because you were too fat and because you didn't look like a man.

Even though he became the prince, even became the superintendent of the country, and had replaced Zhu Di in handling national affairs, Zhu Gaochi still couldn't hold his head up in front of Zhu Di. This was a lifelong psychological shadow.

In addition to reading the teachings of sages, you can also come up with so many good inventions at Daming Engineering College.

But I calmed down and sat in the courtyard.

If you were like your two younger brothers, able to wield swords and guns, and fight with the soldiers in the military camp, why would you be so fat?
My father is apologizing to you now because my father has indeed discovered that you are not that good-for-nothing person.

In the past, my father really looked down on you. You didn't look like a man. You were so fat that you had to have a guard to support you. What did it look like?
At first, my father thought it might be because he was sick and weak since childhood, but later he found out that it was not the case. You just like to read those Confucian books and the great principles.

But he couldn't say it.

He felt even more resentful in his heart.

You think I can become your son now.

This is not because you are apologizing because I am your son, but because you are apologizing because of what I have accomplished now, which would be meaningless.

Since you know this why are you saying it now.

Zhu Gaochi still seemed a little embarrassed when he heard Zhu Di admit that he had indeed ridiculed himself because of his body shape and felt that he was inferior to his two younger brothers, so he alienated himself.

If you don't say it, I won't think anything of it.

Opposite him, Zhu Gaochi still looked at his father with a little embarrassment.

But hearing his father say it so frankly made him feel a little emotional.

Zhu Gaochi picked up the wine bowl, touched Zhu Di's wine bowl lightly, and then imitated Zhu Di and drank it.

However, before the wine was finished, he quickly turned his face to the side.

Then with a pop, it all spurted out.

When Zhu Di saw this, he yelled, "You bastard who wastes food, how hard it was for your father to transport several jars of burning knives from Peking to the capital."

How much did you squirt out? If you can't drink it, don't drink it. "

After Zhu Gaochi was dissatisfied and wiped his mouth, he picked up the wine bowl and drank.

This time he felt like his whole body was on fire.

Then his face turned as red as a monkey's butt, and his whole body became hot.

Zhu Di burst out laughing when he saw his son looking like this, "That's so cool, that's so cool. A grown man can't drink, carry a knife, or kill enemies. What does that look like?"

You finally look good, not bad. "

Zhu Gaochi took a sip and poured a bowl for his father himself.

Then he picked up the wine bowl and toasted his father: "Dad, to be honest, I have been very resentful towards you for so many years.

You don't see your son's advantages or efforts, and you just think that the reckless man's two younger brothers are very good.

But they can only fight on horseback and cannot sit in the rear.

Look at your son, if you can really take over Peiping's logistics in the future, no matter how many battles you go to Mobei to fight, your son will be able to arrange everything for you.
This is your son's ability to strategize. As for your two younger brothers, they can only serve as your deputies.

I can only hold my head up under your halo.

But I will definitely be able to do something big in the future. "

Zhu Di laughed and said, "Okay, you don't need to hide it. That's fine. This is like Zhu Di's son. Come on, let's bury the hatchet tonight. From now on, we will get along with each other again. You can study hard at Daming Institute of Engineering."

After studying well, how about returning to Beiping Prefecture and setting up these factories so that Beiping Prefecture can be as prosperous as the Capital City? "

Zhu Gaochi also laughed loudly, and the father and son drank like this until midnight.

Three or four jars of roasted knives were all eaten down, and even those that were drunk were vomited.

But Zhu Gaochi still accompanied his father, drinking heavily from the burning knife that burned his throat.

A few months later, it was delivered from the Japanese slaves.

Another 20,000 prisoners arrived at the ore fields in Liaodong.

At first, these prisoners thought it was just mining, which was not bad.

However, they discovered that it was not that simple after all. They don't just have to dig for seven or eight hours.

What's more, you have to directly enter a very dangerous place.

When mining in that place, it is easy to get buried under the ore.

The most important thing is that people in the Ming Dynasty don't seem to sympathize with whether they will die.

Instead, no matter how they reacted, they were immediately driven to dig in the most dangerous mine.

After each dig, they could only get a small amount of food.

This immediately aroused the resistance of these Japanese slave prisoners.

What they didn't expect was that they had a pretty complete defense system here.

At the same time, there are also muskets that make them afraid.

As long as they dare to resist, they will be knocked down with one shot.

When the Ming Dynasty soldiers in Liaodong knew that these Japanese pirates were the same Japanese pirates who often invaded Liaodong and Shandong waters,

There is no sympathy at all. Anyone who dares to resist will be shot down immediately.

In the past few months, there were more than a thousand Japanese slave prisoners buried in the mines alone.

But the efficiency is also quite high.

Carload after carload of iron ore was pulled out.

Then one ship after another was transported directly from Liaodong waters to Shandong.

Then it was transported by land from Shandong to the capital.

Although the iron ore in Tieling is not as high grade as the iron ore on Australia Island far away in Australia.

But for today's Ming Dynasty, it is still quite acceptable.

Chen Han turned on his horse power to smelt the iron ore.

After ton after ton of steel was produced, Chen Han felt relieved.

To measure the development level of an industrial country, steel production must definitely be ranked in the top few columns.

Since the Song Dynasty, China has always occupied the top position in steel production.

But by the end of the Qing Dynasty, Europe and Japan began to overtake them.

Chen Han will never allow this trend to happen.

Therefore, during the Hongwu period of the Ming Dynasty, Ming Dynasty's steel production increased from only a dozen tons in the previous year to about ten tons in a month.

After Chen Han refined the steel, he immediately invested in the construction of railway tracks.

Although the Jingbei Road from Peking to Beijing is already under construction.

But Chen Han still wanted to make the Jingwei Line from Shandong Weihaiwei to the capital the first route to be opened.

The reason why this route was chosen to open was to facilitate the transportation of iron ore from Liaodong to the capital.

At the same time, it is also convenient to receive gold and silver transported from the Japanese slaves.

The previous route had always departed from Wonu Tangri Port and arrived at Tsushima Island.

After resting at Tsushima Island, we followed the North Korean coast to Hepu Port in Busan, North Korea, and then headed west to Weihaiwei, Shandong Province, and then returned to the capital by land from Weihaiwei.

Now, as long as the railway is laid, we can take the railway directly from Weihaiwei to the capital.

After this route is opened, it will facilitate the flow of silver and gold into the Ming Dynasty.

It's simply killing multiple birds with one stone.

Because laying railroad tracks required a large number of prisoners, Chen Han and his colleagues ordered the colonial committee of the Japanese slaves to increase their aggression against the Japanese slaves.

……

Japanese slave colonial committee.

Mu Ying was very excited after receiving the order from Chen Han and the others.

"Comrades, we have just received an order from the imperial court, ordering us to step up the colonial expansion of the Japanese slaves.

We had been cautious before because we didn't get orders.
What's more, because Ashikaga Kanemitsu is indeed cunning, we don't need to fight him hard, but to develop our colonial area.

But things are different now. Judging from the fate given by the court, if we transport the prisoners back to our Ming Dynasty, we can solve the biggest problem here - after getting the prisoners, we don't know how to arrange them, and we are afraid that they will rebel.

Comrades, now that we have clear instructions, every inch of the mountains and rivers we conquer, as long as they are thorns, will be transported directly back to our Ming Dynasty, and let them dig mines for us and build our railways, and exhaust them to death.

As for us in the Wolong Colonial Area Committee, we only need to keep a small number of obedient prisoners here.

It is enough to arrange for them to go to the mine to mine gold and silver.

Again, here's our chance to show off our talents.

Judging from the situation we know now, the western territories of the Japanese slaves are mostly poor people. Especially those places in Kyushu are poor and the people are tough and unyielding.

People here and there can be completely transported to Daming.

And to the east is the place where they once lived and served as their wealthy capital. This is a great opportunity for us to make contributions. "

The members and ministers below were even more excited after hearing Mu Ying's words.

They slapped the table: "Okay, it's finally our turn to show off our talents."

Muying's deputy general Zhao Shenyan was even more excited.

"It's been two years, Commander, it's been two years. Now we finally have a chance to show off our talents. Please give us the order.

What do you want us to do? Then the gun has been in the hands of our brothers for about a year. We have already practiced it very accurately, and we have long wanted to find those Japanese slaves to try the gun.

You should have ordered us to advance in earlier, so that we would not have to fight with him to demarcate the territory for both profit and gain.

What we want is to rule by dividing the territory. What we want is to bring the entire Japanese slaves into the palm of our hands. "

Mu Ying slapped the table and the order was like this. Mu Ying arranged for this massive attack.

To the east of the Japanese slaves, the territory controlled by Ashikaga Kanemitsu, it can be said that the Japanese slaves at this time were close to collapse.

Although Ashikaga Kanemitsu nominally inherited the position of Ashikaga Yoshimitsu.

But Ashikaga Kanemitsu is not a tycoon like Ashikaga Yoshimitsu, and he cannot control the daimyo below.

Moreover, those big names have always seen clearly that the current Ming Dynasty has already penetrated into their territory.

You have even occupied more than half of the territory. You are just a puppet who compromises with others.

Why do you lead us?
So the fight between them was fierce.

And on this day, it was November of the twenty-eighth year of Hongwu.

Mu Ying officially issued the order to attack.

While Ashikaga Kanemitsu and the others were still sleeping.

The Ming Dynasty's army has been divided into four armies from north to south based on the previously drawn boundaries and massive invasion.

Mu Ying personally commanded an army totaling 30,000 people and began to launch a general offensive towards the east ruled by Zhuli Shoulder.

This time, Mu Ying not only brought the Ming Dynasty's latest rear-loading rifle, but also the Ming Dynasty's thin armor made of new steel and put it on half of the soldiers.

As infantry charging into battle, these people wore light armor made of steel and held rifles.
The latest troops appeared in front of the Japanese slaves.

At this time, the Japanese slaves also had an army of more than 100,000 in the east.

Of course, they probably have to pay a lot of water for the more than 100,000 yuan.
Most of them here are the so-called Ashigaru troops, which are peasant troops.

How could such a force be able to block Mu Ying's attack?
