Daming: Brother, there is no future for monks, let's rebel

Chapter 125 Supporting the Japanese King, Adapted by the New Army
The arrival of Zhu Han's Red Scarf Army Navy naturally aroused the vigilance and attention of the Japanese side, and soon notified the matter to the Wa court in Yoshino.

"They are very strong and have a large number of people. Our emperor's whereabouts are unknown. It must have something to do with these rebellious officials and thieves of Ishijian Fan!"

"Must send troops!"

"Don't let them step into Yoshino half a step!"

The ministers of the Wa Kingdom in the Yoshino court are getting together to discuss countermeasures.

According to the news from the front, Emperor Murakami seems to have died in Iwami Fan.

However, the Japanese people all think that the emperor is a god, how could he die so easily!
It must be the rebellious officials and thieves of Shi Jianfan who deliberately released false news to disturb people's hearts.

Facing the chaotic court, Prince Kuancheng, who was sitting in the upper position, was only ten years old, and he didn't know fart at all, so he fell into a panic and didn't know what to do.

"My gentlemen, please be safe and don't be impatient! I can personally lead an army of [-] to repel these traitors!!"

At this moment, a figure in a white robe came out from the crowd.

"It's Master Shirai!"

"It turns out that Master Shirai is here!"

"It's really great. With his help, we can smoothly get rid of these damned Iwami Fan rioters!"

Seeing the figure walking out, the surrounding ministers began to discuss.

The man who came out was the famous master of the White House in the Wa Kingdom, named Shirai Shou, and he was the most important minister of the Emperor Murakami of the Wa Kingdom, and also the teacher of the Emperor Murakami of the Wa Kingdom.

If it is in Huaxia, it is almost equivalent to the Grand Master in Sangong.

The [-] army is basically the entire force directly under Yoshino's Japanese court. If you recruit some surrounding farmers, you can get together between [-] and [-].

"Master Shirai, please!"

Prince Kuancheng, who supervised the country, immediately entrusted the military power to Master Shirai under the persuasion of all the ministers.

"Qishan Palace, please rest assured, I will definitely kill the invading enemy and find out the whereabouts of His Majesty the Emperor!" Master Shirai said confidently.

On the coast fifty miles away from Yoshino, the naval army led by Zhu Han has already landed. The local Japanese army organized an attack of more than a thousand people, and was killed by two hundred cavalry led by Chang Yuchun and Lan Yu. Since then, no Japanese people have dared to approach him again.

According to Zhu Han's plan, after the Red Scarf Army has established a stronghold here, they will continue to march towards Yoshino Castle, and then attack Yoshino Castle, and support a cooperating Southern Wa Emperor, guaranteeing the interests of Iwami Fan, and then they can retreat calmly return.

After all, Zhu Han didn't have the time to seize the land of the Wa country, which was so poor.

"My lord, the spies ahead are here to report that the Yoshino court has sent a large army to attack." Hojo Yoshizane hurriedly reported to Zhu Han.

"How many soldiers and horses are here?"

"About 5000 people, including 2000 armored soldiers, [-] archers, and the rest are ashigaru."

Hojo Yoshizane reported all the news he had.

"It seems that they haven't figured out the situation yet. They came to our door, and we just wiped them out in one fell swoop!" Zhu Han heard Hojo Yoshinori's answer, a sneer sneered at the corner of his mouth, and he ordered the army to move on.

In this world, there is nothing that money cannot buy, especially in a barren place like Wa country.

Zhu Han's march this time brought five thousand Japanese soldiers newly recruited by Iwami Fan. After eating more than ten days of full rice, these Japanese soldiers of Iwami Fan were full of strength, and they were arranged by Zhu Han It was used as cannon fodder at the forefront of the army.

For this cannon fodder Japanese army, Zhu Han gave them a domineering name.

"Iwami Emperor Song Cooperative Army" can also be referred to as "Iwami Imperial Association Army" for short. The certain military state system happened to be the old regulations of the Song Dynasty.

After all, Yoshino's Japanese army has a large number of archers, and it would be bad to shoot and injure the soldiers of the Red Turban Army. First, use the Iwami Emperor's Association Army to consume the bows and strength of the Yoshino Japanese army.

What Zhu Han never expected was that the Japanese in Shi Jianfan did not have a clear understanding of their duties as cannon fodder.

After marching for half a day, the Five Thousand Ishimi Emperor's Association Army led by Hojo Yoshima immediately encountered the Southern Dynasty Japanese army from Yoshino.

As a forward, Yoshima Hojo wanted to show his bravery and loyalty in front of Zhu Han, so after sending someone to pass the information to the rear, he personally led the army to launch a surprise attack. Anyway, there were less than 1000 people on the opposite side, so there was no need to worry about failure.

Hojo Yoshima got on his horse, waved his spear and shouted loudly: "Kill the traitor, kill!"

Thousands of stones under his command saw the Imperial Association Army, and immediately followed suit.

"Onboard!"

"Kill!"

"Onboard onboard!"

A group of Iwami Imperial Association troops rushed into the Yoshino Japanese army.

The forward of this Yoshino Japanese Army was led by Shirai Shou himself, and he wanted to test the strength of the Iwami Fan rebels first.

Originally, in the eyes of these Yoshino Japanese soldiers, the rebels like Iwami Fan should be nothing more than a group of unarmed ordinary people, and they are not threatening at all.

So seeing them rushing all the way, I didn't have the slightest scruples.

However, when they came into contact with the 'Iwami Rebels', they discovered that these people were not as simple as they seemed on the surface, because the armor and weapons of the Iwami Imperial Association Army were all equipped by the Red Turban Army, although they basically belonged to Outdated equipment in the Red Scarf Army, but the actual combat effect is not bad at all.

What's more, the weapons and equipment worn by the Iwami Imperial Association Army completely surpassed the imagination of the Yoshino Japanese Army, and it can be said to be a luxury!

Ishijian Imperial Association soldiers are equipped with a long spear or a plain knife, and wear a cloth-covered iron leaf armor, which looks inconspicuous, but its defense power far exceeds that of the Japanese bamboo armor.

Seeing such weapons, the Yoshino Japanese army couldn't help but feel strong jealousy and fear in their hearts. They realized that the Iwami rebels were definitely not that simple.

"Onboard~~~!"

Hojo Yoshima brandished his spear, and led his subordinates to madly kill Shirai Shou and the others.

Shirai Shou was also unambiguous, directly took out a Japanese sword, and shouted, "Kill~~~!"

The two sides are still fighting together.

The officers and soldiers of the "Imperial Association Army" on Hojo Yoshima's side are all wearing armor, and the weapons in their hands are long spears and simple knives, while Shirai Shou's men are all light infantry, and the weapons they use are bows and crossbows. Ishimi Imperial Association Army caused heavy damage.

After the confrontation between the two sides, the Yoshino Japanese army suffered a terrible blow, and the corpses kept falling, which shocked Shirai Shou, the number one general of the Japanese country. He did not expect the Iwami rebel army to be so powerful.

"Retreat! Retreat~~!"

Shirai Shou shouted in panic, wanting to lead the army to escape from these terrible enemies.

But Ishimi Huangxie Army, who had been eating white rice for more than ten days, became more and more courageous as they fought. Seeing the defeat of the Yoshino Japanese Army, they chased and killed them one by one.

"Come on!"

Shi Jian, the Japanese soldiers of the Imperial Association Army, took their swords one after another, and rushed towards the enemy in front.

Bai Jingshou took the remaining hundreds of soldiers and quickly fled towards the rear.

On the way they retreated, they left behind dead and wounded Japanese troops along the way.

"Report to my lord, the army of the Yoshino imperial family is found ahead!"

"Report to your lord, Ishijian Imperial Army troops are attacking the enemy!"

"Report my lord, Ishijian Imperial Army has repelled the enemy and is pursuing!"

One piece of information was sent to Zhu Han.

"Ha ha."

After hearing this information, Zhu Han couldn't help laughing out loud, he was really surprised that Yoshino Nanchao Japanese Army's combat power was so scumbag.

"Send the coffin of Emperor Murakami to Hojo Yoshin, and let the Iwami Imperial Army guard their emperor's coffin and enter Yoshino Castle!" Zhu Han ordered loudly.

Since a puppet Japanese regime is to be established in Yoshino, it must not only have a strong military deterrent, but also have a reasonable name.

It couldn't be more appropriate to support the coffin of the Emperor of Japan to beg for thieves.

Soon, the Iwami Emperor's Association Army led by Hojo Yoshizane approached the main force of the Japanese army in the Southern Dynasties.

Five thousand Japanese imperial association troops swaggered in front of fifteen thousand Japanese troops of the Southern Dynasty!

"Bold rebels, dare to trespass on the emperor's residence, are you tired of living!" When Shirai Shou saw the Ishimi Imperial Association Army, he couldn't help but feel a palpitation in his heart, and couldn't help roaring .

"Hmph, traitors, you must be the one who colluded with Onishi Shengqing to kill His Majesty the Emperor! I will send you on your way today!" Hojo Yoshizane said arrogantly, pointing at Shirai Hisashi with the spear in his hand.

At this time, the Yoshino Japanese army on the opposite side discovered that the Iwami Emperor's Association Army came out pushing a huge coffin, covered with a robe embroidered with chrysanthemum patterns, which was exactly what Emperor Murakami wore when he died. pieces.

In an instant, the entire Yoshino Japanese army fell into panic and panic.

The Emperor is dead! ?
And it seems that he was killed by someone!
This simply made the Yoshino Japanese army unwilling to fight at all.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Hojo Yoshizane led the Iwami Imperial Association Army and immediately launched a fierce attack.

When Bai Jingshou saw the fierce attack of the Ishimi Imperial Association Army, his heart sank suddenly, knowing that he had encountered a hard stubble today.

"Imperial Association Army, avenge His Majesty the Emperor!" Hojo Yoshima shouted loudly.

"Dark Black Card! Onboard!"

"Tiannao black card, onboard!"

Immediately, the 'white rice' soldiers of the Ishijian Imperial Association Army went crazy one by one, and rushed forward one after another holding their spears and knives.

Although the Japanese soldiers under Bai Jingshou were all elite Japanese soldiers, they were unable to resist the wolves and tigers of the Ishimi Emperor's Association Army, and were quickly killed to the point of throwing away their helmets and armor.

Ishi saw the morale of the imperial association army was high, and continued to charge forward.

"Come on! Kill all these thieves!" Hojo Yoshima shouted.

"Into Yoshino Castle!"

"Onboard!"

Shirai Shou led the Japanese army of the Southern Dynasties to defeat and fled towards Yoshino Castle. He thought he was cutting melons and vegetables, but he didn't think that he was the melons and vegetables.

When Zhu Han led the army to arrive, except for the corpses of the Southern Dynasty Japanese soldiers left on the battlefield, there was no more Southern Dynasty Japanese soldiers in sight.

"These Japanese pirates killed all the captives?" Chang Yuchun said in surprise. He saw many Ishijian Imperial Alliance troops on the battlefield killing and killing wounded soldiers, and he showed no mercy at all.

"Hehe, this is the nature of Japanese pirates."

Zhu Han smiled coldly. Anyway, those who died were the Japanese pirates' own people, and he didn't care at all whether they kept prisoners or not.

"The Japanese pirates are as fierce as wild animals, so we must be more careful in the future!" Lan Yu couldn't help but said.

"As long as we hold the swords and guns firmly in our hands, we won't be afraid of them daring to make mistakes!" Zhu Han patted Lan Yu's shoulder and said.

At this time, Hojo Yoshima, who had won a big victory, also ran over excitedly.

"My lord, the villain has defeated the general of the bandit army, Shirai Hisashi, and there is no obstacle outside Yoshino Castle!" Hojo Yoshima knelt on the ground and said.

"Okay, five thousand broke ten thousand, you have done a lot!" Zhu Han nodded, and praised Hojo Yoshin, "When Yoshino Castle is captured, I will let you be the great garrison of the Wa Kingdom!"

When Hojo Yoshizane heard this, his eyes lit up immediately. His ancestors were great nobles of the Kamakura shogunate for generations. If he were to become a grand shou now, his official position would be far beyond that of his ancestors.

However, although Yoshino's Japanese army of the Southern Dynasty was defeated, after they fled into Yoshino Castle, they still did not surrender obediently, but relied on the city to try to resist to the end.

Moreover, the Japanese soldiers who returned from the defeat also brought bad news that made the Japanese people desperate.

"His Majesty the Emperor is dead!"

"His Majesty the Emperor was murdered by the traitors of Iwami Fan!"

"Ishi Jianfan should be punished by heaven!"

"Damn Iwami feudal thieves!"

Hearing the news that the Emperor of Japan had been killed, the Japanese people in Yoshino Castle suddenly fell into extreme anger and fear.

"Damn Ishi Jianfan! Damn Huaxia dog! I want to avenge His Majesty!"

"Kill these despicable traitors!"

"Kill! Kill! Kill!"

"Kill all the dog slaves of Ishijian Fan!"

The shouts of the Japanese people in Yoshino City have even spread outside the city.

Zhu Han, who led the army to arrive, was not very worried. Anyway, the Japanese army of the Japanese country has become a turtle in the urn, and they can't make any waves.

At the same time, inside Yoshino Castle.

Shirai Shou bowed to the ground with a pious face, and led the Japanese bureaucrats and nobles to persuade Prince Kuancheng to immediately ascend the throne to inherit the emperor's throne, and then encouraged the residents of Yoshino Castle to guard the city, waiting for reinforcements from all over the world to come to serve the king.

However, Shirai Hisashi's words did not arouse any reaction from Prince Kancheng at all.

Prince Kancheng, who was only ten years old, stood aside blankly, looked at Hisashi Shirai who was kneeling on the ground, and turned to look at his mother, Concubine Fujiwara.

Concubine Fujiwara was born in a famous family, and she is the favorite concubine of Emperor Gomurakami. Because her son, Prince Kannari, is young, Concubine Fujiwara made all the decisions.

"Shirai Hisashi, can you defend Yoshino Castle?" Fujiwara Concubine asked seriously.

Shirai Shou, who had just returned from a big defeat, was still very stubborn at this time.

"Yoshino Castle is as solid as gold, and it can definitely be defended. Please rest assured at Jiaxi Menyuan!" Shirai Shou said.

Concubine Fujiwara is worried that once her son inherits the position of emperor, she will not be able to survive until Yoshino Castle is destroyed!

Ishimifan's rebels even killed Emperor Murakami, let alone a young emperor.

"Okay, then prepare immediately,,,,"

Concubine Fujiwara just nodded to agree, suddenly!

A loud thunderous noise sounded from outside Yoshino Castle.

"What's going on?" Bai Jingshou asked with a puzzled expression.

"It's not good, it's time to attack the city, and the rebels of Shi Jianfan have begun to attack the city!" A Japanese rushed into the hall to report.

Hearing the report of the Japanese, all the concubines, princes, and ministers of the present country were dumbfounded.

Are these Shi Jianfan rebels so powerful that they started attacking the city as soon as they rushed outside the city?
Don't the rebels even need to make siege equipment?

"Don't panic, I'll personally supervise the battle!" Bai Jingshou ordered loudly.

Concubine Fujiwara and a group of Japanese ministers were also full of doubts, and they followed Shirai Shou to the city wall.

They wanted to see with their own eyes how the Iwami Fan rebels outside the city attacked the city.

Rumble!
Rumble!
Outside Yoshino City, bursts of violent explosions resounded through the sky, deafening and shocking.

On the ground below, heavy siege guns continuously fired shells and landed on Yoshino Castle, smashing the walls above Yoshino Castle into big pits, and clods of gravel and soil splashed everywhere.

"what!"

On the city wall, a few Japanese people couldn't dodge in time, and were hit by a cannonball, and were immediately beaten to a pulp, with blood flying on the city wall.

Such a scene is too scary.

The Japanese ministers, princes and nobles on the city wall covered their mouths and noses, and stared at the Iwami Fan army below the city wall in horror!

They were so scared, they had never seen such a powerful artillery!

"Boom!"

Another shell landed on the city wall, and the city wall trembled, and a large number of Japanese people on the city wall fell down.

Concubine Fujiwara and the others immediately collapsed to the ground in fright, and the ministers and warriors were not much better, they all knelt on the ground in fright.

The defenders of the entire Yoshino City, under the first round of bombardment by the Red Turban Army's heavy siege artillery, completely disintegrated their will to resist.

Many soldiers on Yoshino Castle fled one after another, leaving only a large section of vacancy.

Zhu Han had a panoramic view of all this from outside the city, and immediately realized that this was a good opportunity.

"Hojo Yoshizane!" Zhu Han shouted.

"My lord, I'm humble!" Hojo Yoshima quickly responded.

Zhu Han pointed to Yoshino City in front of him, "Send someone to persuade them to surrender, and give them half an hour to consider opening the door and surrendering, otherwise no one will stay behind after breaking the city!"

"Obey my lord!" Hojo Yoshima said loudly.

Afterwards, Hojo Yoshima led a team of soldiers and horses to Yoshino Castle to persuade him to surrender.

The soldiers guarding the city had already been frightened to death, and no one objected after hearing the surrender.

Even Shirai Hisashi, who claimed to be the number one general of Yamato, was pale and silent and acquiesced.

"Talk about peace! Talk about peace!"

Concubine Fujiwara hugged her son, Prince Kannari, and said loudly.

"Hayi!" The general defending the city responded loudly.

Ever since, the Red Turban Army led by Zhu Han successfully captured Yoshino Castle in only half an hour after a round of shelling.

"Hahaha, I got it, it's so easy!"

The generals of the Red Turban Army laughed loudly.

"Congratulations to the deputy commander!"

"Hahaha, the deputy commander is mighty!"

"Long live my lord!"

A group of soldiers congratulated Zhu Han one after another.

"Hahaha, good! Let Yoshino's Japanese dignitaries come out of the city to meet me!"

"Yes! My lord!" Hojo Yoshizane replied.

Soon after, Concubine Fujiwara of the Southern Dynasty of the Japanese Kingdom took Prince Kansei out of the city and surrendered accompanied by ministers such as Shirai Shou and Fujiwara Tadakichi.

A group of them came to the front of the Red Turban Army and knelt on the ground to express their submission.

At this time, Concubine Fujiwara was extremely panic-stricken, looking at the armored Central Plains man in front of her, wondering what the fate of herself and her son would be.

Concubine Fujiwara, Shirai Hisashi and others all knew that the Central Plains man in front of them was the real controller behind Ishimi Fan.

"Yaoxi! If you are willing to surrender, it is all thanks to good people!"

Zhu Han proudly looked at a group of little devils kneeling on the ground, and couldn't help but feel very happy. The Southern Dynasty Wa Kingdom with a small territory and weak troops would obediently surrender, which would save him a lot of trouble.

"Sinner Fujiwara, I implore Lord Shangguo to save our mother and child!" Concubine Fujiwara couldn't help but begged, and Hojo Yoshima translated.

"Hmm! Your son is very cute!" Zhu Han smiled and touched Prince Kuancheng's chubby head, and praised, "Your mother and son can safely inherit the Japanese throne under the protection of our Red Scarf Army. I can guarantee that our Red Scarf Army Absolute mercy!"

"Yes! Thank you, Lord Shangguo! Thank you, Lord Shangguo!"

Concubine Fujiwara repeatedly kowtowed in gratitude.

Now that Yoshino Castle Wa Kingdom surrendered, then Emperor Murakami had to find someone who was responsible for the death of Emperor Murakami, and outsiders in the province questioned the legitimacy of Wa Kingdom Southern Dynasty because of this incident.

"Bai Jingshou! He colluded with the remnants of the Northern Dynasty and harmed His Majesty the Emperor. Immediately behead him for public display!"

Under Zhu Han's instruction, a group of Japanese ministers headed by Bai Jingshou were all beheaded.

Afterwards, a large number of Iwami Fan Emperor's Alliance Army and Koryo Eight Banners entered Yoshino Castle and took full control of the city defense. Zhu Han appointed Hojo Yoshin as the Imperial Guard of the Wa Kingdom, concurrently serving as Iwami Fan Lord, and assisting the new Prince Kansei.

And Zhu Han led the main force of the Red Scarf Army to station at the seaside, and the Japanese concubine Fujiwara and her son, Prince Kancheng, were in the Red Scarf Army camp.

According to Zhu Han's request, after the feudal lords from all over the country came to Yoshino Castle to pay homage to the new Wa king, the Red Turban Army would leave, leaving the plenipotentiary representative of Hojo Yoshizane.

In the Red Scarf Army camp, the widow Fujiwara in a black robe was eating with her son Prince Kannari when suddenly there was a coughing sound outside, her expression changed, she stood up quickly and walked towards the door run away.

"Aunt, where are you going?" Prince Kuancheng asked hastily.

Fujiwara replied without turning his head: "Auntie has something to go out, you stay in the big tent first, and Auntie will be back soon, okay?"

"Oh!" Prince Kuancheng said.

Fujiwara nodded quickly, turned and ran out.

After Fujiwara left the big camp, he came to a luxurious tent.

Inside, Zhu Han is leisurely cooking wine.

"My lord!" Fujiwara's face was rosy, and she knelt on the ground and whispered in broken Chinese.

Seeing this Fujiwara family, Zhu Han showed a playful smile, who can refuse a wife who looks like Yui Aragaki!
"Ma'am, you have come to me to learn foreign languages ​​again!"

"Yes!" Fujiwara smiled softly.

"Ma'am, do you still remember what I told you?" Zhu Han asked.

"Yes, I remember, as long as I obey you, I will be protected by you!" Fujiwara shyly said.

"Hahaha! Madame is really smart! But, I don't like women who are too smart!" Zhu Han laughed.

"I don't dare! This servant is actually very stupid!" Fujiwara said hastily.

"Hehehe, madam, don't worry, you are a good citizen, and the benefits will be great!" Zhu Han smiled and spoke in an interpreter's voice.

"Slave must work hard!" Of course Fujiwara knew how to show her 'obedient'.

Outside Yoshino Castle, after Zhu Han and Concubine Fujiwara had continued in-depth exchanges for several days, the feudal lords of the Southern Dynasties of the Wa Kingdom finally came to Yoshino Castle to meet the new Wa King. Head of the Muromachi Shogunate.

No one dared to question the status of Lord Ishimi and the Red Scarf Army, because there were still more than a dozen traces of huge artillery on the wall of Yoshino City with grim faces!
As long as the feudal lords of the Wa Kingdom dare to disobey them, they are ready to be baptized by artillery fire.

These words frightened those feudal lords!

These feudal lords didn't dare to take risks, you know, they were all petty feudal lords, even Ishijian Fan Daxi Shengqing was wiped out in World War I, no one dared to take risks.

Therefore, they all honestly took refuge in the Red Turban Army, that is, they enshrined the puppet Prince Kansei, the current Emperor Changqing of the Wa Kingdom.

During this period, Hojo Yoshima and Fujiwara Tadakichi took over the government affairs of the Wa Kingdom. Among them, Fujiwara Tadakichi was the father of Fujiwara Concubine and was in charge of the internal affairs of the Yoshino Wa Kingdom court. Zhu Han digs a silver mine!

Because of the mineral coordinates and longitude and latitude measurement method that Zhu Han had mastered long ago, a large number of mining craftsmen from the south of the Yangtze River quickly found the location of the silver mine in the territory of Iwami Fan.

The first batch of silver ingots were mined out soon!

A full 50 taels of silver is only the first batch of output from the silver mine!
"Great, we can finally mint silver coins!" Zhu Han couldn't help thinking proudly while looking at the silver ingots being loaded onto the ship.

"Report! Your Excellency, the feudal lords of the Southern Dynasty of the Wa Kingdom and the feudal lords of the various places in the Wa Kingdom are here to see you!" At this time, Hojo Yoshizane reported from outside.

"Let them in!" Zhu Han said with a smile.

After a while, a group of feudal lords of the Wa Kingdom entered the big tent.

"I see you, my lord!"

A group of Japanese feudal lords knelt on the ground like slaves.

"Get up, everyone! Shi Jianfan is recruiting craftsmen. As long as you send a laborer, you can get ten shiba rice every year. Until the laborer dies or goes home, he will also be compensated with ten shibai rice!" Zhu Han waved his hand with a smile.

These feudal lords also laughed, this deal is too good-for-nothing.

The land in the country of Wa is so barren that a single farmer cannot grow ten stones of white rice in a year.
But now they can earn ten stones of white rice. For these people, they are happier than eating elixir!

"My lord, I am willing to contribute a thousand laborers." At this moment, a Japanese man in a black robe said suddenly.

The other feudal lords of the Wa Kingdom all stared angrily, which is obviously grabbing the spot!
A full thousand people, that is [-] shibai rice per year!

If there are only a few thousand people, wouldn't he be robbed of most of the rice share?

Therefore, the other vassal lords of the Wa Kingdom immediately followed suit and said, "My lord, I am willing to contribute 2000 people."

"The minister is also willing to contribute 2000 people."

"My lord, I am willing to contribute 2000 people."

Seeing their enthusiasm, Zhu Han couldn't help nodding secretly, these people are all good, they are all talents!
As long as the feudal lords send people here, Zhu Han has the confidence to raise a large number of Japanese leading parties.

"Okay, you just need to bring the strong men from your own territory, and I can guarantee that within a month, I can provide you with [-] shi of white rice!" Zhu Han said.

"Your Excellency is wise!" Everyone shouted loudly.

"Don't worry, this general keeps his word, and the food will definitely be ready in a month's time." Zhu Han said loudly.

As soon as they heard that the food was guaranteed to be ready, the faces of these Japanese lords already showed joyful expressions.

"Master is wise!"

A group of people echoed.

"Haha, don't worry, everyone, you will be my Red Turban Army's good helpers in Japan from now on, and I will never treat you badly!" Zhu Han said with a smile.

"Thank you sir!"

"Thank you sir!"

Regarding the silver mine issue of Shi Jianfan, it is only necessary to leave Sapphire and lead a thousand red scarf troops to station and monitor here.

Zhu Han personally led the rest of the tribe back to Jinling in the south of the Yangtze River.

The news that 50 taels of silver was transported back to Jinling quickly spread in Jinling City.

After hearing the news, countless Jiangnan soldiers and civilians showed fascinated eyes.

"50 million taels of silver!"

"50 taels of silver were mined in just one month, how much silver was mined in that year!"

"The king of Wu has the big silver mine in the country of Wa. I'm afraid the little Jinling won't be able to trap this real dragon!"

"The world is competing for the deer, and the artifact has not yet had an owner!"

Everyone is already aware of...

Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Han brothers will never stand still in Jiangnan.

Just at this time, the day after Zhu Han returned to Jinling with his expeditionary fleet, Liu Futong and Han Liner, the leaders of the Northern Red Scarf Army, sent people to send emergency documents.

"Report! King Wu, hurry up for [-] miles!" A herald from Prince Wu's residence hurried in to report.

Zhu Han and his elder brother Zhu Yuanzhang were discussing about minting silver coins, they immediately stopped talking and looked at the messenger officer.

The elder brother Zhu Yuanzhang asked: "What military situation, tell me!"

"Report to the King of Wu that Kaifeng is in urgent need! The Tartar Chahan and others joined forces to surround Kaifeng with 20 troops. Prime Minister Liu lost all three battles. Kaifeng is at stake. We hereby issue an emergency document to ask the King of Wu to send troops to relieve the siege!"

Hearing this news, both Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Han were slightly taken aback.

None of them thought that Liu Futong, as the leader of the Northern Red Scarf Army, would lose so quickly this time.

"It's only been a month or two, and Kaifeng won't be able to hold on anymore?" Zhu Han looked distressed.

Once Kaifeng falls, the Red Scarf Army will inevitably fall into a huge defeat, and the great cause of the world's anti-Yuan will also face a countercurrent.

However, Zhu Han is currently busy with the issue of silver coins, and the Jiangnan Red Scarf Army is also busy with the reorganization of the new army. It is really not a good time to send troops.

"Okay, we got it!" Zhu Yuanzhang took the urgent report, frowned and waved his hand.

The herald immediately turned and left.

"Brother, what should we do?" Zhu Han asked, frowning.

"Don't worry about it for now, let's see what tricks the Tartars want to play, let's talk about it after a while!" Zhu Yuanzhang said lightly.

"Well, brother is right!"

Zhu Han agreed with Zhu Yuanzhang's decision.

Although Zhu Yuanzhang is not very old, but with the help of Zhu Han in terms of military strategy and ruling ability, it can be said that he has reached the level that should be in history, and he will not be entangled by those vain reputations of loyalty.

"The Bianliang city of Kaifeng is so big, as long as it sticks to the city, and there are so many food and grass supported by us in the city, it will definitely not be so easy to be breached!" Zhu Yuanzhang said.

Zhu Han nodded, agreeing with this statement. The Kaifeng Red Scarf Army has hoarded a large amount of food and supplies in the city, all of which were sent by the elder brother Zhu Yuanzhang from the south of the Yangtze River to support them. It will never be a year or a half, and they will never fall into a shortage of food. .

"Qiwu, by the way, where did you just talk about?" Zhu Yuanzhang, the older brother, brought the subject back to the topic.

Zhu Han smiled softly, "Brother, I said just now that we now have the Japanese silver mines, so we don't have to worry about lack of money anymore. We should reorganize the army."

"Adaptation? We now distribute the land to the soldiers and pay them. Their morale is very high. How else do they need to be adapted?" Zhu Yuanzhang, the elder brother, was a little confused.

"Brother, the most indispensable thing in this world is corruption. Now we are in the military household system of soldiers and officers. We distribute land to soldiers and officers. It's okay for one generation and two generations. They are all brothers who are born to die. After three or four generations, the officers and generals will probably try their best to seize the land and property of the soldiers. At that time, the soldiers will have their land stolen and their salaries swallowed up, so how can they have any combat effectiveness!" Zhu Hanyi Said seriously.

"Then tell me how you plan to change it?" Brother Zhu Yuanzhang thought for a while, and nodded when he felt that what Zhu Han said made sense.

Zhu Han's distrust of the military household system is absolutely in line with historical development.

The military household system of the Ming Dynasty in history quickly degenerated into a dependency relationship between the land and the population with the corruption of the middle and upper-level military officers. In poor days, it is really hard for them to expect them to fight the enemy.

"From then on, the military household system will no longer be implemented. The original land granted by military meritorious service can be retained, and the original military households can also be retained, but the ownership of the land is only for the heirs of the military households, and cannot be divided and transferred. Anyone who fails the military evaluation will be confiscated. Military merit fields, up to thirty acres of ration fields!" Zhu Han said.

When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he took a deep breath.

This move can be described as bold!
Many soldiers of the Red Turban Army fought desperately, but they just wanted to leave some property for themselves and future generations. If military meritorious fields could also be confiscated, it would definitely affect the morale of the army!
"Qiwu, isn't this method a little overdone?!" Zhu Yuanzhang said after pondering for a moment.

"Brother, once the fields are distributed, it will be very difficult for the superiors to manage them. For those military households whose military skills are not up to standard, it is right to confiscate their fields!" Zhu Han said.

"Then where will the morale of our soldiers come from?" Zhu Yuanzhang wondered.

"Brother, this is exactly what I want to change! We want to train a new army, a thorough new army, not only a new army that uses guns and cannons, but also a complete military salary, logistics supplies, staff system and military training. manage!"

What Zhu Han said are all the basic elements of the modern army. The modern army relies on the perfect system construction, so that even if an army is in the most unfavorable time, it can still maintain a certain combat effectiveness, and it will not be like the lower limit of the feudal army. That's extremely low.

For the changes inside, the older brother Zhu Yuanzhang did not have a deep understanding at this time, and quickly began to ask Zhu Han about the details and key points.

Zhu Han gave Zhu Yuanzhang a detailed account of the structure of the modern army, as well as logistics supplies, military management, military tactics, etc.

After listening, Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes became brighter and brighter. This kind of military reform is undoubtedly very useful. It can completely turn any group of ordinary people into a strong army!
"Qiwu, since that's the case, let's do it according to the method you said!" Zhu Yuanzhang said with satisfaction.

"Brother, military change is a major event after all, so don't be reckless. I'll try out a part of the army first, and fully adopt the new army system. Let's practice first." Zhu Han said.

It's not a peaceful time these days, surrounded by all kinds of forces that are eyeing each other, Zhu Han wants to reform the military and doesn't want to affect the current military strength.

"Well, let's take your prudence and do what you said. If you need money, food or something, just ask Li Shanchang." The elder brother Zhu Yuanzhang said.

"Okay, brother!"

The biggest difference between Zhu Han's modern army and the classical army is naturally in the organizational structure and supplies.

The organizational structure of the classical army mainly relied on the personal ability of the generals, while the modern army relied on strict military discipline and middle- and lower-level officers. This requires a large number of backbone officers who can not only train soldiers according to military requirements, but also ensure The basic cultural level, such as understanding the deployment of the army, knowing how to calculate the army's marching plan and supply distribution, not the reckless warriors of the middle and lower ranks of the classical army.

As for the supply of materials, it is even more different. There are often no strict regulations on the supply of food and grass in the classical army. You only need to transport the food to the front line, and you can be regarded as a qualified quartermaster. As for how much money or quality there is, As long as soldiers are not allowed to protest violently, no one will be held accountable.

The material supplies of the modern army can basically be specific to the data of each meal. According to the rank of each soldier, there is a strict hierarchical system, which makes it difficult for officers from top to bottom to cheat.

According to his plan, Zhu Han told his elder brother Zhu Yuanzhang that he would first set up a new army as a pilot, with the number of people set at around 5000, and except for a small number of elite Longxing troops, the rest were all newly recruited. soldiers.

For Zhu Han's new army adaptation, Zhu Yuanzhang also had great expectations, and agreed without hesitation.

Zhu Han first found Li Shanchang and asked him to serve as the logistics chief of the new army.

"Deputy Marshal, what kind of official is this chief?" Li Shanchang asked with a puzzled expression.

He is now the general manager of Wu Wangfu and the commander of the marching army. He belongs to the military and political logistics. Is everything not enough?Why do you have to get another Laoshizi logistics chief.

"Mr. Li, since my new army and the original Longxing Army and Model Army do not need a set of logistics supplies, they must be operated separately. Naturally, a new official position needs to be established." Zhu Han said.

In Zhu Han's plan, all armies will implement a more specialized logistics system in the future. Now that Li Shanchang is also the chief logistics officer, he is slowly allowing his subordinate officials to adapt and train them in advance.

"I see!" Li Shanchang nodded knowingly.

"In this case, then I will be in charge of the logistics chief of the new army for the time being, and I will gradually increase the number of personnel in this area in the future!" Li Shanchang said.
