I Am the Grandson of the Second Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, Earning 100 Million Taels at the Beginn

Chapter 187 We have an army of 3 million, so I ask you if you are afraid!
"After the first half is over, send someone over to notify them."

"After all, this is a battle to destroy the country, and the name must be decent, otherwise, in the history books of later generations, our man's reputation will not be very good."

After all the officers went to prepare, the old man who played with the little guy said something.

Zhu Zhangui nodded, and glanced at Xia Yuanji and Yang Pu who were standing aside.

It is more appropriate for a civil servant to go on a mission.

Noticing Zhu Zhangui's gaze, the two instantly understood that Zhu Zhangui planned to let one of them go.

There were not many civil servants who followed this time, and most of them were from the household department.

The people from the household department came here mainly to register the land and collect the gold and silver spoils.

All this money has to go into the national treasury. The last time the soldiers tricked them into putting together big and small money, it took them several days to calculate it.

So this time, they just followed them directly, so as to save the big soldiers from piling up the loot again, and they would have to lie there for several days.

Officials from other departments, except for a few people sent by the Ministry of Officials, did not follow.

The old man was mainly watching the battle this time, and had no intention of intervening in the battle, so the accompanying officials did not bring much.

Although more than 100 people were brought in, these people have never been in the officialdom, and I am afraid that this kind of thing can't be done well.

"Master, let's go!"

The two looked at each other, and Yang Pu stood up.

Xia Yuanji, an old man, wants him to do the math, and it's not a problem to do the math, but it's probably a little bit worse for lip service.

"That's all right, Xueshi Yang will work hard for you, and I will send 1000 people to follow you to protect your safety!"

Yang Pu nodded slightly.

Then he hesitated and said: "Your Highness, you still have to think about what I just said. After all, this is our land in the future. If there are too many killings, I'm afraid it will not be easy to manage in the future."

"This place is thousands of miles away from Daming. If something goes wrong, we have to send troops from the mainland. The consumption is too great. If we can receive it safely, try to receive it as safely as possible! If too many killings cause hatred between the two races, then hereafter Not only will it fail to become our food and grass base, but it will become a trouble that drags us down."

Zhu Zhangui smiled slightly.

"What Xueshi Yang said is that I will pay more attention to this matter."

Zhu Zhangui's polite tone made Yang Pu sigh slightly.

He understood that what he said was in vain.

He has some understanding of Zhu Zhangui, and Zhu Zhangui is very similar to Lao Zhu in character.

If Zhu Zhangui thinks seriously and talks to you with a serious expression, it means that he has listened to the words.

If his face is full of anger, pointing his nose and scolding his mother, it means that he cares about you very much and values ​​you as a person.

If you are smiling, talk to you politely.

That means that the other party didn't listen to what you said at all, but just put on an appearance.

Such a monarch is actually the most difficult to serve.

If you don't study penetration, you can't figure out what the other party is thinking at all.

Compared with Zhu Zhangui, Zhu Yuanzhang or Zhu Di's third person, Yang Pu actually prefers that the monarch is a person like the King of Han in his heart.

After all, people like Zhu Gaoxu, king of the Han Dynasty, have all kinds of psychology on their faces, which can be seen at a glance.

The crown prince Zhu Pangpang is also fine, he loves the people with benevolence and righteousness in his heart, and cares for the people. Such a king has a broad heart and will not care about some trivial matters, let alone kill a bunch of people's heads without blinking his eyes.

"Report to the emperor, the captives have been captured!"

A palace guard left and reported to the old man that important prisoners had been escorted over.

"Bring it in!"

The old man picked up the little guy and sat on the main seat.

Zhu Zhangui, Yang Pu, Xia Yuanji, and Zhang Fu were by their side.

Soon, two Asan generals who were tied up were pushed in.

"Your Majesty!"

The escorting palace guards kicked the two of them on the ankles with a low shout.

The two screamed in pain and knelt down on the hard deck with a plop.

The old man didn't even look at the two kneeling on the ground, and asked indifferently.

"What is the name of your country? How many troops does it have, and who is the king?"

The translator quickly translated the old man's words, and at the same time threatened the two of them, if they didn't tell the truth, they would be thrown into the sea to feed the sharks.

The two of them were not stubborn, and they began to confess in a chattering manner.

"They say their country is called the Saeed dynasty, and the king is Hazel Khan, who was originally the former governor of Punjab,..."

At the beginning of the translation, I still translated seriously, but when I heard a certain passage, my eyes widened instantly.

"What's wrong? What did they say?"

Zhu Zhangui frowned and looked at the surprised translator.

The translator swallowed, and couldn't believe what he heard. He looked at Zhu Zhangui and said, "His Royal Highness, he said that their country has 3 million troops, 5000 million chariots, and 1000 million giant elephants!"

Hearing this number, the old man and the people present were taken aback for a moment. They looked at each other and burst out laughing loudly.

The word "billion" rarely appeared in the Ming Dynasty before. When the court made statistics, it was usually tens of millions.

Later, Zhu Zhangui started to use the word billion, and the court gradually canceled Wanwan and replaced it with billion.

Xia Yuanji clutched his stomach and almost squatted on the ground laughing.

"Your Majesty, this is the first joke that Chen Huo has heard so loudly."

"My mother, with an army of 3 million, their citizens must be tens of billions."

Zhang Fu also shook his head again and again.

"This country is really interesting. With 3 million troops, the minister has never seen so many people in such a big place."

Yang Pu pinched his beard and laughed.

"People in the world say that when we Han send troops, it is easy to exaggerate the numbers. Tens of thousands of soldiers and horses are called 10,000+, and 10,000+ are called millions."

"But compared with them today, we are still too humble!"

"Hahaha…"

As soon as Yang Pu said this, everyone laughed again.

Zhu Zhangui didn't respond.

He had read reports on this, and it seemed that several countries around Ah San liked to brag like this.

There are hundreds of millions of troops sent out, tens of millions of people died in a battle, and the deeds of millions of missing heroes are everywhere in history books.

When reading reports on this aspect before, Zhu Zhangui thought it was made up by the self-media, but he did not expect to meet the right owner today.

The old man wiped away the tears from his laughter with his hand, and waved to the guards.

"Pull them out and treat them well, ask them clearly, 3 million soldiers and horses, my God, it scares me to death."

"Hahaha…"

Another burst of laughter.

The little guy who didn't know why, seeing everyone laughing, clapped his hands and laughed.

Soon there was a scream, and the guard walked in half an hour later.

"Go back to the emperor, I have already asked clearly!"

The old man nodded.

"This time it's hundreds of millions!"

"puff!"

Xia Yuanji couldn't hold back, and almost laughed again.

The guard suppressed a smile and reported.

"This time they told the truth. According to their account, their country has about 15 troops distributed in various city-states!"

"The navy has 25 warships, but they have already been captured by us. The ships that did not come were either sunk by General Qu Guang and the others, or they were in disrepair and could not be moved."

The old man nodded.

"That's about the same amount, 3 million troops, almost scared me so much that I turned around and left."

"Ha ha!"

Everyone laughed again.

After taking all the captives into custody, the navy assigned some people to control the enemy's warships, and began to set off according to their established goals.

Li Hu took 10 gunboats to Madras, preparing for a deterrent bombardment.

According to the plan, Zhang Xian and others speeded up their march to break away from the main fleet and launch an attack on Jaffna, Colombo.

At dusk, the fishermen of Madras drove their small boats back to the shore and began to sell the seafood caught today.

There is an endless stream of residents who come to purchase, they choose the goods, bargain with the vendors, and trade items.

The golden sunset sprinkled on the pier, reflecting the golden waves of the waves.

Such beautiful scenery is like a picture scroll in mythology, and people can't help but enjoy it.

"Hey, what is that!"

A resident who was buying sea fish accidentally looked up and saw 10 black spots slowly approaching the distant sea.

The fisherman who traded with him looked back and answered with a smile.

"It may be that General Henry who chased those foreign ships has returned, but the number is a bit small, and there are probably quite a few casualties."

"Hmph, those damn foreigners dared to kill the holy cow and the governor's son, they should all go to hell!"

"That's right, my cousin's cousin died in that conflict. Alas, he died just a few days after he got married. Pity the new wife."

"Hehe, let your cousin take care of him more!"

"Ahem, I'm afraid this is a bit difficult. My cousin is not interested in people. He prefers sheep and pigs!"

The man's eyes lit up.

"Where is your cousin from? He actually has the same interests as me, but sheep are pigs or something. I've had enough fun. I'm currently studying monitor lizards."

There was a moment of silence around, and everyone looked at the person who spoke in shock.

Nima, people are really crazy now.People couldn't be satisfied, and started to get started with monitor lizards.

However, some people are moved in their hearts, maybe they can try it, maybe it is a very enjoyable fun.

"Report sir, we have reached Madras."

A warship on the sea in the distance, the watchman holding a telescope to observe, communicated with a person beside him, and after confirming that this is Madras, he picked up the walkie-talkie and reported loudly to Li Hu.

In the command room, Li Hu, who was looking at the map, took a look through the binoculars handed over by the guards, picked up the walkie-talkie and said loudly.

"Attention all ships, we have reached the designated target, and the gunners immediately enter their positions and prepare for shelling!"

"Clang clang clang clang..."

Following Li Hu's order, the battle sirens sounded from all ships.

The artillerymen who were resting in the cabin quickly jumped out of the hammock and rushed to their respective posts.

The wooden board of the muzzle was opened, and a loaded cannon was pushed out of the muzzle.

"Report to the Commander-in-Chief No. 1 ship to get ready!"

"Ship No. 2 is also ready and ready to shoot."

"…………"

"Ship 10 ready to shoot!"

Listen to the report on the intercom and confirm that all ships are ready.

Li Hu raised his binoculars to observe the situation on the coast, raised his walkie-talkie and said loudly.

"Attention all ships, the time has come to avenge those sacrificed brothers, and now I order, open fire!"
