Daming: Brother, there is no future for monks, let's rebel
Chapter 140 Zhu Yuanzhang's Attitude Towards His Family
Chapter 140 Zhu Yuanzhang's Attitude Towards His Family
Quanzhou, a tall and brand new gatehouse.
Like a majestic mountain, it just appeared in front of the Persian Maru Ali.
Ever since Daming killed the descendants of the local Pu Shougeng family.
A larger and more magnificent Quanzhou city was rebuilt.
Especially outside the city of Quanzhou, a Jingguan built with the head of Pu Shougeng Semuren was built, which showed the martial arts of the Ming Dynasty!
At this moment, Maru Ali was greatly awed by this martial virtue.
Looking at the Beijing Temple and the inscription, Maru Ali knew what had happened here, and his curly beard became trembling.
His lips were already trembling with excitement, and after trying to swallow a mouthful of saliva, he finally calmed down.
"Maru, come here!"
Suddenly, a shout in Quanzhou accent brought the Persian Maru Ali back from his shock.
Maru Ali, a Persian, immediately put on the kind smile inherent in business people, and walked over with small steps.
"Master Zhang, what's your order?" The Persian Maru Ali was all smiles.
This Ming official has long been used to flattering the Semu merchants.
He pointed at Maru Ali, a Persian, and said to a small leader of the Ming army who was on duty at the gate of the city.
"Master Jun, look, he can still speak our words!"
"What if you can speak Chinese?"
The officers of the Ming army stared at Maru Ali seriously, as if they were looking at a military medal.
"The previous Semu people can also speak Chinese, so they are all beasts!"
After Maru Ali heard this, he was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat.
He had a better understanding of the killing of the Semu people in Quanzhou.
The Semu people in Quanzhou were wiped out by Daming.
Those Quanzhou Semu people are actually of the same ancestor as Maru Ali, and their appearance is exactly the same.
Maru Ali didn't want to be hacked and killed by the Ming army as a military exploit.
"Master, I'm not from Semu, I'm a Persian, a good businessman, and a good citizen." Maruali said with a strange accent.
As Maru Ali's words fell, a bag full of silver coins was stuffed into the hand of the Han army leader.
The Han officer measured it lightly with his hand, and there was an idea in his heart.
Now that this curly-haired barbarian from the Western Regions is so knowledgeable, the Han officer also plans to let him go.
"Then what are the goods you brought?" the Ming army officer asked.
The Quanzhou official surnamed Zhang didn't want to answer, but Maru Ali who was next to him spoke first.
"Master Jun, our country of Kang is rich in gems and horses. This time, what we brought here are all gems and horses, or a large amount of spices and furs. They are all legal transactions!"
"Legal business? I'm afraid that what you bring is legal, but what you want to take away is not legal!"
The Han officer scoffed at this sentence.
"May I ask the military master, is there anything prohibited that cannot be taken away?" Maru Ali asked immediately.
"My Daming's books, horses, cattle and sheep, and dingkou are all forbidden to be sold!"
The officer kept saying things that were not allowed to be sold.
Finally, he pointed to the dozens of corpses on the city wall and continued.
"See, these barbarians from the Western Regions just wanted to leave with contraband. After we found out, this is the result!"
Maru Ali glanced again, and immediately nodded tremblingly to express his obedience.
Since the opening of the Quanzhou maritime trade route, Zhu Han has not let down his vigilance, and has imposed strict embargoes on many goods.
Zhu Han ordered the Ming army in the Shibo Division to strictly investigate all kinds of smuggling!
Especially for the smuggling of books, potatoes and other good varieties, the death penalty is even more severe.
If there is an accomplice, no matter if it is Han or Semu, or whether it is a commoner or an official, it is a general crime.
"Don't dare, don't dare, we Persians are all good citizens, and we absolutely dare not do things that violate discipline." Maruali immediately offered another bag of silver coins.
After a while, several Han soldiers inspected the goods and waved for Maru Ali and others to enter the city.
After entering Quanzhou City, Maru Ali finally felt a little more relaxed.
The crowds on the streets are dense, and the goods in the Dongxi City are full of goods.
The eyes of Maru Ali and his party are almost not enough.
"Maru Ali, this place is a place of business, that is, our Quanzhou Chamber of Commerce Inn, you can settle here."
The official surnamed Zhang from the Shibo Department stopped, stretched out his hand and pointed to a wide courtyard on the side of the road and said.
When Maru Ali saw it, he knew he had arrived at his destination.
These Persian caravans went in, and after entering, Maru Ali immediately asked to see the local Quanzhou Shipping Department official.
The manager of the Shipbuilding Department was named Zhang Ju. After some inquiries, he gave Maru Ali a 30-day trade visa.
Without this visa, no foreigner can do business in Quanzhou.
"Honorable Master in charge, I am willing to offer you another gold coin and ask for your protection." Maru Ali said.
"Asylum? What asylum?" Zhang Ju was slightly taken aback.
It turned out that the Semuren Jingguan outside the city of Quanzhou had already scared Maru Ali, a Persian businessman, to death. Without the protection of Ming officials, he felt uneasy.
Moreover, he knew that according to the laws of Ming Dynasty, private trade was allowed, but there was only one rule prohibiting illegal trade.
This rule is like a red line, no one can touch it.
Maru Ali knows, but Maru Ali is a businessman who is good at human trafficking. If Daming does not allow human trafficking, then he will suffer a lot.
The only way is to seek shelter from this Zhang Ju.
If he could save his life, even if he had to pay a huge amount of wealth, he would be happy.
After all, life is the most important thing. As for money, it is all outside the body.
"Dear steward, you may not be clear, we Persians have a traditional trade."
"It took us [-] or [-] days to reach Quanzhou City, and we have traveled more than [-] miles..."
"After going through many difficulties, these goods were brought here. Please also allow our products to be traded in Quanzhou."
"What kind of goods are you transporting?" Zhang Ju, the manager of the Shibo Department, asked.
Maru Ali said cautiously: "Slave!"
Zhang Ju frowned, and then said: "No, this is a violation of my Ming law!"
Zhang Ju is very smart. He knows that the products of Maru Ali and his gang should not be accepted now.
Because he knew that once he accepted the goods from the Persian merchants, he must bear the corresponding responsibilities.
"The law of the Ming Dynasty stipulates that it is not allowed to buy and sell your beloved as slaves without permission, otherwise you will be punished!" Zhang Ju added.
"My lord, you can't do this!" Maru Ali panicked.
"Our goods, our goods are all high-quality Slavic female slaves, regardless of gender, they are all of high quality and low price!" Maru Ali shouted eagerly.
If this group of slaves cannot be sold in Quanzhou, they will be ruined.
Zhang Ju shook his head and smiled wryly. These Persian goods were pretty good, but the key point was that he could not accept them, nor had the right to accept them, let alone sell them privately.
Although Zhang Ju wanted the filial piety of this Persian businessman, it was not up to him, a mere manager, to buy and sell people.
"We Daming don't need goods like yours, you should leave quickly!" Zhang Ju turned around and prepared to leave after finishing speaking.
Seeing this, Maru Ali felt dizzy for a while.
Knowing that his hopes were shattered, he immediately grabbed Zhang Ju and said, "Master Zhang, please tell me, who in the Ming Dynasty can decide to buy these slaves? I am willing to give you a [-]% discount!"
Maru Ali said anxiously.
Seeing his pitiful appearance, Zhang Ju sighed.Said: "His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Empire! Or His Royal Highness the King of England!"
After Zhang Ju finished speaking, he turned and left.
Hearing this, Maru Ali felt overwhelmed, he knew he had to fight.
After he left, he immediately took the fleet to Yingtianfu, the capital of the Ming Dynasty, hoping to find the emperor of the Ming Empire in the capital of the Ming Dynasty, and negotiate with him to let him buy the slaves in his hands.
On the sea outside the city of Quanzhou, Maruali's merchant ships sailed northward.
"Our Persian goods are the best in the world. The emperor of Ming Dynasty and the King of England must like them!" Maru Ali showed a confident smile on his face.
In Yingtian City, an urgent message was sent to Zhu Han's palace.
"Your Highness, the Wa country is urgent!" said a guard.
Zhu Han opened it and laughed immediately.
Seeing this, Lan Yu hurriedly asked, "Your Highness, is this a good news from the Wa Kingdom?"
"Good news, what a fart! The Southern Dynasty of the Wa Kingdom was defeated, and Yoshino Castle was lost." Zhu Han said.
Yoshino Castle was an important city in the Southern Dynasties of the Japanese Kingdom, and the important source of income for the little Japanese king was the taxes from Yoshino Castle.
Now that Yoshino Castle is lost, the Southern Dynasty of the Wa Kingdom was immediately suppressed and beaten by the Northern Dynasty of the Wa Kingdom.
"Ah, why are you laughing, Your Highness?" Sapphire asked suspiciously.
But he knew that Zhu Han was the "wild father" of the little Japanese king of the Southern Dynasty of the Wa Kingdom, and the concubine Fujiwara of the Kingdom of Wa was Zhu Han's best friend.
"It doesn't matter whether the Wa people die or not, I just laugh at the waste of the Wa country!" Zhu Han laughed.
"Then what does His Highness plan to do?" Sapphire eagerly asked.
Now on the battlefield of the Central Plains, the forces of the Mongolian Yuan are already defeated, and Hu Dahai has firmly established his foothold in southern Liaoning. The complete defeat of the Mongolian Yuan is already a certainty. Lan Yu went to the battlefield of the Central Plains. Didn't get many chances to make meritorious service.
Now that he hears about the changes in the Wa country, he immediately wants to show his hand to relieve the boredom.
Zhu Han also saw what Sapphire was thinking, and said to him with a smile: "Since the silver mine of Iwami Fan came out, the Northern Dynasty of Wa Kingdom has been jealous. Now that Yoshino Castle has been captured, the next step must be to attack Iwami Fan. How about leaving it to you to solve it?"
When Lan Yu heard this, she immediately became happy, "Don't worry, Your Highness, the general will kill all the Japanese in the end!"
Zhu Han said with a smile: "The best situation for the country of Wa now is the division between the north and the south. After you go to the country of Wa, just kill the prestige of the northern army of the country of Wa, so that they dare not continue to invade Shijian Yinshan. Let Wa Kingdom fight among itself, the more people they die, the happier I will be!"
After hearing Zhu Han's words, Lan Yu immediately understood Zhu Han's deep intention.
"Your Highness, I finally understand." Sapphire said hastily.
Zhu Han thought for a while, and then continued: "You don't need to bring too many officers and soldiers to attack the Northern Dynasty of the Wa Kingdom this time. It is best to draw more soldiers from the Eight Banners of Goryeo and let the Goryeo people fight against the Wa people. , tsk... a devil versus a stick, it doesn't matter who dies!"
After two years of training, today's Goryeo Eight Banners soldiers already have considerable combat power.
It shouldn't be a problem to use sticks to deal with devils in Japan.
The Ming army led by Lan Yu only needs to play the role of supervising the battle team.
And make the final fatal blow.
"Don't worry, Your Highness, the general will understand!" Sapphire immediately accepted the order.
Afterwards, Lan Yu took Zhu Han's military order to prepare for the military operation to go east to Japan.
Just when Zhu Han finished handling a lot of government affairs and wanted to go to the back garden to find his side concubine Liu Sanniang to hold his little hands gently, the guard outside the door came in to report again.
"Your Highness, Hu Weiyong asks to see you."
Hearing that Hu Weiyong came to look for him, Zhu Han knew that he must not be able to sneak away again.
Zhu Han is still the Minister of Yingtianfu in Ming Dynasty now, but he has too many concurrent official positions, and it is impossible to be busy, so Zhu Han basically has a name for Yingtianfu's affairs, and entrusts Hu Weiyong with all the big and small matters. Ying Tianfu is everything.
Anyway, after so many years of getting along, Hu Weiyong is still very honest and responsible today.
He didn't have the slightest look of dying in history with the ambition to control the Ming Dynasty.
"Let him come in." Zhu Han sat back on the grand master's chair again and said.
Soon, the guards of Yingtian Mansion brought in Hu Weiyong, the governor of Yingtian Mansion.
"Your Majesty Hu Weiyong, see Your Highness Chitose!"
Hu Weiyong's attitude towards Zhu Han has always been the most humble among all officials and generals.
Because every time he met Zhu Han, Hu Weiyong always felt that His Royal Highness had a very scrutinizing attitude towards him, as if he was very jealous and guarded against him, which made Hu Weiyong feel uncomfortable all over, it was like a thorn in his back!
Therefore, every time Hu Weiyong met Zhu Han, he was trembling.
It is simply more respectful and careful than seeing Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang of the Ming Dynasty.
"Excuse me, old Hu, what are you looking for?" Zhu Han said.
Hearing His Highness the King of England call himself 'Old Hu', Hu Weiyong felt a little relieved.
"Your Highness, it's actually just a trivial matter. A Semu man who claimed to be a Persian merchant brought a shipment of goods from the West. The Quanzhou Shipping Department didn't dare to let him manage it, so he came to Yingtian Mansion. He wanted to see the King of England. Your Highness, I want you to make the decision for him!" Hu Weiyong said.
"Oh, that's all it is?" Zhu Han was a little puzzled. He didn't know what kind of goods made the Quanzhou Shipping Department rich but not profitable.
"Yes, Your Highness, there is only one thing." Hu Weiyong said carefully.
"Quickly tell me, what exactly is the Persian merchant bringing?" Zhu Han asked.
Hu Weiyong quickly said: "Reporting to Your Highness, they are slaves, a large number of slaves with lustful eyes!"
"slave?"
As soon as Zhu Han heard it, he immediately became energetic.
In this era, selling slaves to the Central Plains is not a popular business. The Central Plains people are very discriminatory towards the Semu people. In addition, the Semu people under the Mongolian Yuan rule have a higher status, and there will be no Semu people who sell their compatriots in large numbers. Come to the Central Plains.
"Your Highness, the Persian businessman said that this is a large number of Slavic slaves. There are about 600 men and women!" Hu Weiyong said.
"Slavic slaves? Damn it, big ocean horses?"
At this time, Zhu Han was not simply excited, but very excited.
He never imagined that he would meet a group of Eastern European wild horses here in Daming.
"Where is that Persian businessman?" Zhu Han stood up excitedly.
"Reporting to Your Highness, that Persian businessman is in the Yamen of Yingtian Mansion." Hu Weiyong said.
Seeing that Zhu Han was so excited, he didn't know whether it was a good thing or a bad thing, and he felt a little uneasy.
If the Persian businessman named Maru Ali hadn't honored him with a large sum of gold coins, he wouldn't have come to bother His Royal Highness.
Now it seems that His Royal Highness's reaction far exceeded Hu Weiyong's expectations.
"Your Highness, do you want to call him?" Hu Weiyong asked carefully.
"No, come with me to Yingtian Mansion, I want to meet this Persian in person!" After Zhu Han said that, he strode out the door and ran towards Yingtian Mansion.
Inside the yamen of Yingtian Mansion, Maru Ali, who was dressed as a Persian businessman, was kneeling on the ground cautiously.
In front of him was His Royal Highness, the most powerful British King in the entire Ming Dynasty except for Emperor Hongwu.
"Your name is Maru Ali?" Zhu Han looked at the Persian businessman, who was dressed in an ordinary businessman.
"Your Highness, the villain is Maru Ali, a businessman from Persia." Maru Ali said hastily.
"Well, I heard you brought a group of slaves?" Zhu Han asked.
"Yes, Your Highness, they are all high-quality goods. The Slavs on the Chincha Grassland are all young men and women. Whether it is the paradise of Eastern Rome or the harem of the Seljuk Turks, there are no such good and high-quality goods." Stuff!" Maru Ali saw the interest of the Great Ming King, and immediately began to boast professionally.
"Hehe, empty talk is useless, let's go to the pier and have a look." Zhu Han said with a smile.
"As you wish, my esteemed highness!" Maru Ali laughed immediately, he knew that his business was going to be successful this time!
Zhu Han and his party came to the pier to let Maru Ali's merchant ship dock.
Then a large number of blond and blue-eyed Eastern European Slavic slaves appeared in front of Zhu Han.
These Eastern European Slavic slaves, the men all have very strong muscles, their skin is fair and delicate, their faces are unusually handsome, and they have exquisite facial features. They look like works of art, and they are carefully selected first-class goods .
Moreover, these Eastern European Slavic slaves all wore a kind of tattered clothes, showing their skin completely.
Especially those Slavic female slaves.
Their skin is much fairer than that of ordinary women, but they are still healthy and look very seductive.
"Your Highness, look, look at these Slavic female slaves, how beautiful they are, look over there, I bought those women with money, they are my treasures!" Maru Ali saw Zhu Han I have been looking at these Slavic female slaves, so I introduced them.
Zhu Han glanced at these female slaves and nodded, "Sure enough, they are first-class goods!"
"Thank you for your compliment, Your Highness!" Maru Ali was very happy.
The better His Royal Highness treats him, the better it is for his business.
"Well, I think all of your goods are pretty good, they are all high-quality goods! But the price"
"Don't worry, Your Highness, as long as you like, I can give these slaves a [-]% discount, which is definitely worth the money."
"Oh? [-]% discount, you can consider it!"
Zhu Han nodded in satisfaction.
Seeing this, Maru Ali immediately said: "Your Highness, if you are satisfied, I can bring in more Qincha slaves, as long as the price is right and the quality and quantity are guaranteed!"
"Well, okay, I want all the slaves you have in the future." Zhu Han said with a smile.
"Thank you, Your Highness!" Maru Ali was so excited that he was about to cry, this is a big customer!
"However, I want to make it clear to you that from now on, as long as I am a female slave, I will not allow any male slaves to be transported to the territory of Daming!" Zhu Han said.
He had a normal orientation, he was only interested in white and beautiful wild horses. As for the male slaves, let them serve the Arabs and Turks.
"Obey, Your Highness!" Maru Ali was overjoyed!
Most of the slaves this time are female slaves, and there are very few male slaves. He can definitely make a lot of money.
. . . . . . . .
Wa country, Yoshino Castle.
Outside Yoshino Castle.
Lan Yu, the governor of the Fusang Governor's Mansion of the Ming Dynasty, was in front of the horse formation, looking at Yoshino Castle not far away and said.
A few months ago, the Northern Dynasty of the Wa Kingdom suddenly sent troops to defeat the Southern Dynasty of the Wa Kingdom supported by the Ming Dynasty, not only killed thousands of soldiers of the Southern Dynasty of the Wa Kingdom, but also captured the important city Yoshino Castle.
The elder brother Zhu Yuanzhang was furious, he followed Zhu Han's suggestion, and sent Lan Yu to lead five thousand Ming troops and ten thousand Koryo Eight Banners soldiers to conquer the Northern Dynasty of Japan.
After a battle, Lan Yu easily led his army to the foot of Yoshino Castle.
"My lord, the Japanese in the city have said that they will fight to the death and never retreat!" A soldier of the Ming army who had just gone to persuade him to surrender came back and returned.
After Sapphire heard it, it could be said that it was exactly what she wanted.
"Haha, I will definitely let the Japanese in Yoshino City know what the real power of Heaven is!"
After several rounds of artillery bombardment, Sapphire waved his command flag and let his Goryeo Eight Banners soldiers take the lead in attacking the city.
With the attack of Goryeo Eight Banners soldiers, the Japanese defenders immediately fell into panic.
However, the fighting will of the soldiers of the Japanese country was very tenacious. Under the fierce resistance of the soldiers of the Japanese country, the Goryeo Eight Banners soldiers still failed to break through the defenders of the Japanese country.
After a round of attack, the Goryeo Eight Banners soldiers were repulsed by Japanese soldiers.
Lan Yu had already expected the tenacious fighting will of the Japanese defenders, so she did not give up and continue to attack.
"The soldiers of the Eight Banners of Korea listen to the order, and the second echelon is ready to charge!"
Lan Yu gave an order, and the Goryeo Eight Banners soldiers quickly marched forward.
"Kill!"
The Goryeo Eight Banners soldiers shouted together!
Like a mad dog, he rushed towards the Japanese defenders again.
"Kill Kill Kill"
The soldiers of the Southern Dynasties of the Japanese Kingdom were not to be outdone!
Holding shields, spears and other weapons, they fought fiercely with the Goryeo Eight Banners soldiers.
The Goryeo Eight Banners soldiers are already the strongest troops in Goryeo, so there is no need to say more about their rich combat experience.
Moreover, because the Goryeo Eight Banners soldiers are well trained and much stronger than ordinary people, the Japanese defenders appear very weak in front of them.
After a round of offensive, the Japanese defenders fell into a hard fight again.
"Boom boom boom!"
"Ahhh"
The Japanese soldier let out a miserable cry, and was knocked to the ground by the Goryeo Eight Banners soldiers.
The offensive of the Goryeo Eight Banners soldiers was so fierce that the Japanese defenders could not resist it at all.
However, the Japanese soldiers gritted their teeth and repelled the Goryeo Eight Banners soldiers again.
Seeing this, Sapphire waved her hand.
"Stop attacking and rest for a while."
"Yes."
Hearing the order, the Goryeo Eight Banners soldiers stopped attacking one after another.
During this period of time, the Goryeo Eight Banners attacked more than ten times in a row.
Although the defense line of the Japanese garrison was already crumbling, it still did not collapse. It can be seen that the strength of the Japanese garrison is still very strong.
"Pass on the general's order, the next attack, everyone will fight to the death, the general does not mind using military law!"
"Yes!"
"Kill Kill Kill"
The Goryeo Eight Banners soldiers shouted again!
Continue to kill the Japanese defenders in front, and the casualties of the Japanese defenders continue to increase.
The formation of the Japanese defenders has been messed up, and their minds have also begun to fluctuate.
Seeing this, Sapphire secretly sneered in her heart.
The morale of the Japanese defenders is already in disarray, as long as they work harder, they will surely collapse across the board.
This is the tactical purpose of Sapphire.
Under Lan Yu's command, the Goryeo Eight Banners soldiers became more and more determined to fight.
Finally, under Lanyu's deployment, the Goryeo Eight Banners soldiers launched another attack.
The Japanese garrison fell into chaos again!
Their formation also began to become shaky!
With a wave of Lan Yu's hand, the Goryeo Eight Banners soldiers rushed forward again.
"Kill Kill Kill"
As the Eight Banners soldiers of Goryeo attacked again, the position of the Japanese defenders was once again in turmoil, and they had no sense of resistance.
The soldiers of the Japanese defenders fell one after another, and the Goryeo Eight Banners soldiers also beheaded the heads of the Japanese soldiers one after another, and the blood stained the whole earth.
Sapphire's eyes shone with excitement, the Japanese soldiers had been completely defeated, and now there were only the last few Japanese elites left, as long as they were eliminated, then victory would be won.
The camp of the Japanese defenders has been completely disintegrated, and their morale has dropped to the extreme!
Seeing this, Sapphire immediately gave the order to attack for the last time, and the Goryeo Eight Banners soldiers immediately launched a fierce attack again.
click
puff
Following bursts of rushing and killing, the Japanese soldiers in the city began to be defeated.
The heads of the Japanese soldiers who were killed rolled out, and blood spurted out one after another.
The howling is also endless.
Not long after, the formation of the Japanese defenders finally completely lost their resistance.
Those who were killed by the Goryeo Eight Banners soldiers threw away their helmets and armor, and the last guard also fell under the sword of the Goryeo Eight Banners soldiers.
"Wan Sheng, Wan Sheng!"
The Goryeo Eight Banners soldiers had a ferocious expression on their faces, and their eyes were also bloodthirsty. They were like a group of killing devils.
The Goryeo Eight Banners soldiers roared excitedly.
Listening to the roar and killing of these Goryeo Eight Banners soldiers, Lan Yu, who was standing in the distance observing the battle situation, also showed a satisfied smile on his face.
Sapphire led the army and easily defeated the Northern Army of the Wa Kingdom outside Yoshino City.
Just dispatching the Goryeo Eight Banners soldiers killed not a single piece of the Japanese Northern Army. The elite of the Ming army stood at the rear of the army formation without even shedding a drop of sweat.
"Report to the general that our army has killed 6000 enemies and captured 2000 people, including more than [-] Japanese wounded soldiers." Quan Qian, the commander of the Eight Banners of Korea, knelt on the ground and said to Lan Yu.
"Two thousand wounded Japanese pirates, saving rice for waste! Kill them all, and build a Jingguan for Lao Tzu outside Yoshino City, to show my mighty military exploits!" Lan Yu said with a relaxed face.
"Follow the general." Quan Qian, the commander of the Goryeo Eight Banners Army, was startled when he heard this, and his whole body trembled immediately.
Quan Qian didn't dare to slack off in the slightest, and immediately returned to the army according to Lan Yu's instructions, ordered the beheading of all the wounded Japanese soldiers who had just been captured, and then prepared to use their heads to build a Jingguan.
With the sound of wailing on the battlefield, all the wounded Japanese soldiers outside Yoshino City were all killed.
When the Japanese Northern Army entered Yoshino City, they had already carried out a lot of robbery and killing, so there were not many Japanese people left in the entire Yoshino City.
"If it weren't for the order of His Royal Highness, I would have killed all the Japanese in Yoshino City." Lan Yu looked at the corpses of Japanese soldiers killed on the battlefield expressionlessly, and thought to herself.
After a long period of garrison in the Wa country, Lan Yu has already figured out the habits of these islanders. They are a group of barbarians who are fearful of power but not virtuous.
If it weren't for the silver mines of Iwami Fan that required a lot of slave labor, Sapphire wouldn't even keep the remaining Japanese pirates with intact hands and feet.
After the execution of the wounded soldiers, all the enemies in the Yoshino Castle of the Wa Kingdom were finally wiped out, and some of the people of the Wa Kingdom were driven out to clean up the battlefield.
"General Lan, when will Yoshino City allow the king and the concubine to come back here?"
At this time, a dwarf dressed as a Japanese official came to Lan Yu and asked respectfully.
The official of the Wa Kingdom, who is like a little monkey, was the official in charge of the palace in the Southern Dynasty of the Wa Kingdom, and his name was Ono Taro.
Ono Taro's status in the Wa Kingdom is basically equivalent to the level of the prime minister of the Central Plains Dynasty.
However, in front of Lan Yu, the Ming general, Ono Taro respectfully treated him like a servant.
"Yoshino Castle is dilapidated now, and it must undergo a major renovation before your concubine and Japanese king can return to the city."
Sapphire said to Taro Ono.
Before Sapphire came to Wa Kingdom, Zhu Han had told Sapphire that after seizing Yoshino City, Daming must station a strong army in Yoshino City, not only to protect the safety of the Southern Dynasty of Wa Kingdom, but also to It can more effectively control the power of the Southern Dynasties of the Wa Kingdom.
Since Iwami Fan discovered a huge silver mine, many gold mines with rich reserves have been discovered one after another.
These minerals are very difficult for Japanese pirates to mine, so even if they knew of the existence of these mineral deposits, they did not have the mining technology.
Now Daming has mined all these gold and silver mines through his own efforts, which has caused many dignitaries in the Japanese country to have great resentment and greed for this, and even some Japanese pirates and lords have begun to think of ways Trying to tear some benefits out of it.
This is absolutely unacceptable to Zhu Han.
Therefore, we must strictly control all the movements of the Southern Dynasty of the Wa Kingdom to prevent them from making peace with the Northern Dynasty of the Kingdom of Wa and threatening the interests of the Ming Dynasty on the islands of the Kingdom of Wa.
After all, although the Southern and Northern Dynasties of Japan in history fought endlessly with each other, the final outcome of the Wa Kingdom was peace talks between the North and the South, the unified Wa Kingdom was restored, and the only emperor was enshrined.
This made Zhu Han have to be careful to prevent the Southern and Northern Dynasties of the Wa Kingdom from compromising with each other in the face of huge interests.
"General Lan is right, so I'll go back and report to Concubine Fujiwara and the King."
Ono Taro saw that Lan Yu didn't have a good face towards him, so he didn't make fun of himself, made an excuse, and left in despair.
Afterwards, Sapphire first built another inner city in Yoshino City according to Zhu Han's request.
The inner city plans to have [-] Ming soldiers stationed there, and [-] Goryeo Eight Banners soldiers.
In this way, in addition to the tens of thousands of Ming garrisons in Iwami Fan, Yoshino City has nearly [-] Ming garrisons.
The garrisons in two places are enough to control the power of the Southern Dynasty of Wa Kingdom.
Of course, in name, it was the Ming Dynasty who saw that the vassal state was facing the enemy from the north, and sent garrisons to protect the vassal state's security.
Outside Yoshino Castle, a busy scene.
"Don't be lazy, whoever dares to be lazy will not give him food!"
"The generals of the Kingdom of Heaven are inspecting over there. Anyone who dares to be lazy will cut off his hands and feet!"
"Finish the work here today! Everyone eats white rice tonight."
A group of overseers wearing bamboo hats and whips in their hands were yelling at the busy Japanese people on the construction site outside Yoshino City.
As a practice of Zhu Han's strategy of "barbarians governing barbarians", using Koryo sticks to closely monitor Japanese devils can be said to kill two birds with one stone.
The two countries already have feuds, so there is no need to worry about them covering up and colluding with each other to deceive the Ming army.
Goryeo Bangzi, which has been harassed by Japanese pirates for hundreds of years, is now facing the Japanese devils. Because of the support of the Ming Dynasty, it has fully demonstrated its harshness and cruelty, and made these Japanese people submissive.
The Japanese people did not dare to resist at all, because once these Japanese people dared to resist these Goryeo Eight Banners soldiers, they would face a series of cruel criminal laws such as beheading, beheading, and whipping.
Using these Koryo sticks, Sapphire recruited a large number of Japanese people around Yoshino Castle, and built a new type of fort outside Yoshino Castle.
The fortress adopts a new design structure, which looks like a huge five-pointed star, with many protruding horse faces, corners and crenels on the wall.
"This is a new type of fortress ordered by His Royal Highness the King of England. When you are constructing it, if there is something you don't understand, don't make claims. You must strictly follow the drawings!"
"His Royal Highness will come here for inspection in the future. If anything goes wrong, I will peel off his skin!"
Lan Yu looked at the new fortress that had begun to take shape in front of her, and warned the overseers of the Goryeo Eight Banners soldiers.
The Yoshino Castle of the Japanese Kingdom is really small, and the thousands of garrisons are too crowded in the Yoshino Castle.
Therefore, according to Zhu Han's instructions, Lan Yu built this new type of fort outside Yoshino City, which is the famous bastion in history.
The bastion uses guns and artillery as the main defensive weapon. Even if there are only a few hundred people, it can withstand the siege of an army of tens of thousands of people, and it will not be at a disadvantage in the battle.
As long as ammunition and food are sufficient, the bastion is theoretically indestructible.
Therefore, once the bastion outside Yoshino City is built, the influence of Daming on Yoshino will last forever, and the confidants of the Wa Kingdom will be firmly controlled by Daming.
Building the Yoshino Bastion requires a lot of human resources, but this is no problem for Sapphire.
Ever since Sapphire led the Ming army to repel the Wa Kingdom and the Northern Dynasty's army, they immediately gained supreme prestige in Yoshino City, and it was not difficult to recruit some manpower.
In addition, Zhu Han attaches great importance to the construction of the fortress of the Wa Kingdom, and has already given Lan Yu an order not to be stingy with food and money, and to recruit the local people of the Wa Kingdom in Yoshino to provide labor. The more the better, the construction period is The shorter the better.
The life of the people in the Japanese country is very poor. The Ming army's daily meal of mixed grains, plus a meal of white rice, can make these Japanese people work hard. With the supervision of the Goryeo Eight Banners soldiers, this project The quality is beyond words. In less than two months, Sapphire built a very strong new bastion under Yoshino Castle.
Concubine Fujiwara and the little emperor Kuancheng of the Japanese country finally returned to Yoshino who were kicked out before.
After the battle of Yoshino.The military power of the Northern Dynasty of the Wa Kingdom was greatly affected, and they did not dare to launch an attack on the Southern Dynasty of the Kingdom of Wa in the near future. As a result, no Wa people dared to disturb Daming's silver mining in Ishii.
Chapter 320 Royal Academy
"At the beginning of human beings, nature is good, nature is similar, habits are far away!"
"Helium hydrogen lithium beryllium boron, carbon nitrogen oxygen fluorine neon!"
"Phylum, order, family, genera and species!"
……
In a corner of the Daming Palace, the sound of reading was heard from several rooms. Zhu Han and Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help smiling gratifiedly as they walked outside these schools.
"Qiwu, the students enrolled in this new school of yours are all very motivated, unlike the lifeless schools of old Confucian students we have seen, who can do nothing but shake their heads!"
Zhu Yuanzhang stroked the beard that had just grown out and said, as an emperor, Zhu Yuanzhang is now very concerned about his majestic appearance, so he naturally grew a beard that symbolizes stability.
"Brother, what you said is really on point. The things taught in our new school are not only novel and useful, but also interesting to learn. They are not comparable to those old scholars." Zhu Han showed a smug smile Said.
The new studies taught in Daming's new school are all the most vivid and interesting standard courses for later generations that Zhu Han obtained through system registration. Students in Daming will naturally learn them very vividly and have fun in learning.
Moreover, this school established in the Daming Palace is not an ordinary school, but the 'Daming Royal School' with the royal name.
All the students here are either the children of princes and nobles, or the children of the emperor's relatives.
"Ding, ding, ding..."
With a crisp bell ringing, it was time for the Daming Royal Academy to end the get out of class.
After a few bells, a group of half-grown children in their teens came out of the school happily.
Although the Daming Royal Academy is built in the palace, it is located in a remote corner of the palace, and there is another small door that is half open, so these students will not pass through the palace after class, but leave the palace directly through the small door, and go back to school after school. Family.
Elder brothers Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Han didn't have too many government affairs to deal with today, so they wanted to come to this new school to inspect and see the academic situation of their nephew Li Wenzhong and eldest nephew Zhu Wenzheng.
I saw a large number of children coming out of school.
The elder brother Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Han retreated to a room next to them.
"Little Guizi, go and bring Li Wenzhong and Zhu Wenzheng here." Zhu Yuanzhang said to a young eunuch who was close to him.
"Your Majesty Zunzhi!" Xiao Guizi ran out quickly.
Soon, Zhu Wenzheng and Li Wenzhong, carrying schoolbags, walked in together.
As soon as they saw Zhu Han and Zhu Yuanzhang, they knelt on the ground and kowtowed to salute.
However, Zhu Yuanzhang bowed his hands with a smile and said, "No, no!"
Both Zhu Wenzheng and Li Wenzhong are in their teens. According to the original history, the Ming Dynasty would not be established so quickly. They still have a lot of time to make contributions on the battlefield and become the founding heroes of the Ming Dynasty.
However, because of the existence of Zhu Han, the founding of the Ming Dynasty was more than ten years earlier than in history, so there is no opportunity for the two juniors, Li Wenzhong and Zhu Wenzheng, to display their military talents.
Today's Zhu Wenzheng and Li Wenzhong are both outstanding students of the Daming Royal Academy, studying physics and chemistry while studying traditional classics and history.
"Let me ask you two, what did you learn in school today?" Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the nephew and the elder nephew and said with a smile.
Ever since he ascended the throne and became the emperor of Ming Dynasty, the elder brother Zhu Yuanzhang has not changed his attitude of valuing his family, especially for the two juniors, Zhu Wenzheng and Li Wenzhong, he is full of love and love in his heart.

(End of this chapter)
Quanzhou, a tall and brand new gatehouse.
Like a majestic mountain, it just appeared in front of the Persian Maru Ali.
Ever since Daming killed the descendants of the local Pu Shougeng family.
A larger and more magnificent Quanzhou city was rebuilt.
Especially outside the city of Quanzhou, a Jingguan built with the head of Pu Shougeng Semuren was built, which showed the martial arts of the Ming Dynasty!
At this moment, Maru Ali was greatly awed by this martial virtue.
Looking at the Beijing Temple and the inscription, Maru Ali knew what had happened here, and his curly beard became trembling.
His lips were already trembling with excitement, and after trying to swallow a mouthful of saliva, he finally calmed down.
"Maru, come here!"
Suddenly, a shout in Quanzhou accent brought the Persian Maru Ali back from his shock.
Maru Ali, a Persian, immediately put on the kind smile inherent in business people, and walked over with small steps.
"Master Zhang, what's your order?" The Persian Maru Ali was all smiles.
This Ming official has long been used to flattering the Semu merchants.
He pointed at Maru Ali, a Persian, and said to a small leader of the Ming army who was on duty at the gate of the city.
"Master Jun, look, he can still speak our words!"
"What if you can speak Chinese?"
The officers of the Ming army stared at Maru Ali seriously, as if they were looking at a military medal.
"The previous Semu people can also speak Chinese, so they are all beasts!"
After Maru Ali heard this, he was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat.
He had a better understanding of the killing of the Semu people in Quanzhou.
The Semu people in Quanzhou were wiped out by Daming.
Those Quanzhou Semu people are actually of the same ancestor as Maru Ali, and their appearance is exactly the same.
Maru Ali didn't want to be hacked and killed by the Ming army as a military exploit.
"Master, I'm not from Semu, I'm a Persian, a good businessman, and a good citizen." Maruali said with a strange accent.
As Maru Ali's words fell, a bag full of silver coins was stuffed into the hand of the Han army leader.
The Han officer measured it lightly with his hand, and there was an idea in his heart.
Now that this curly-haired barbarian from the Western Regions is so knowledgeable, the Han officer also plans to let him go.
"Then what are the goods you brought?" the Ming army officer asked.
The Quanzhou official surnamed Zhang didn't want to answer, but Maru Ali who was next to him spoke first.
"Master Jun, our country of Kang is rich in gems and horses. This time, what we brought here are all gems and horses, or a large amount of spices and furs. They are all legal transactions!"
"Legal business? I'm afraid that what you bring is legal, but what you want to take away is not legal!"
The Han officer scoffed at this sentence.
"May I ask the military master, is there anything prohibited that cannot be taken away?" Maru Ali asked immediately.
"My Daming's books, horses, cattle and sheep, and dingkou are all forbidden to be sold!"
The officer kept saying things that were not allowed to be sold.
Finally, he pointed to the dozens of corpses on the city wall and continued.
"See, these barbarians from the Western Regions just wanted to leave with contraband. After we found out, this is the result!"
Maru Ali glanced again, and immediately nodded tremblingly to express his obedience.
Since the opening of the Quanzhou maritime trade route, Zhu Han has not let down his vigilance, and has imposed strict embargoes on many goods.
Zhu Han ordered the Ming army in the Shibo Division to strictly investigate all kinds of smuggling!
Especially for the smuggling of books, potatoes and other good varieties, the death penalty is even more severe.
If there is an accomplice, no matter if it is Han or Semu, or whether it is a commoner or an official, it is a general crime.
"Don't dare, don't dare, we Persians are all good citizens, and we absolutely dare not do things that violate discipline." Maruali immediately offered another bag of silver coins.
After a while, several Han soldiers inspected the goods and waved for Maru Ali and others to enter the city.
After entering Quanzhou City, Maru Ali finally felt a little more relaxed.
The crowds on the streets are dense, and the goods in the Dongxi City are full of goods.
The eyes of Maru Ali and his party are almost not enough.
"Maru Ali, this place is a place of business, that is, our Quanzhou Chamber of Commerce Inn, you can settle here."
The official surnamed Zhang from the Shibo Department stopped, stretched out his hand and pointed to a wide courtyard on the side of the road and said.
When Maru Ali saw it, he knew he had arrived at his destination.
These Persian caravans went in, and after entering, Maru Ali immediately asked to see the local Quanzhou Shipping Department official.
The manager of the Shipbuilding Department was named Zhang Ju. After some inquiries, he gave Maru Ali a 30-day trade visa.
Without this visa, no foreigner can do business in Quanzhou.
"Honorable Master in charge, I am willing to offer you another gold coin and ask for your protection." Maru Ali said.
"Asylum? What asylum?" Zhang Ju was slightly taken aback.
It turned out that the Semuren Jingguan outside the city of Quanzhou had already scared Maru Ali, a Persian businessman, to death. Without the protection of Ming officials, he felt uneasy.
Moreover, he knew that according to the laws of Ming Dynasty, private trade was allowed, but there was only one rule prohibiting illegal trade.
This rule is like a red line, no one can touch it.
Maru Ali knows, but Maru Ali is a businessman who is good at human trafficking. If Daming does not allow human trafficking, then he will suffer a lot.
The only way is to seek shelter from this Zhang Ju.
If he could save his life, even if he had to pay a huge amount of wealth, he would be happy.
After all, life is the most important thing. As for money, it is all outside the body.
"Dear steward, you may not be clear, we Persians have a traditional trade."
"It took us [-] or [-] days to reach Quanzhou City, and we have traveled more than [-] miles..."
"After going through many difficulties, these goods were brought here. Please also allow our products to be traded in Quanzhou."
"What kind of goods are you transporting?" Zhang Ju, the manager of the Shibo Department, asked.
Maru Ali said cautiously: "Slave!"
Zhang Ju frowned, and then said: "No, this is a violation of my Ming law!"
Zhang Ju is very smart. He knows that the products of Maru Ali and his gang should not be accepted now.
Because he knew that once he accepted the goods from the Persian merchants, he must bear the corresponding responsibilities.
"The law of the Ming Dynasty stipulates that it is not allowed to buy and sell your beloved as slaves without permission, otherwise you will be punished!" Zhang Ju added.
"My lord, you can't do this!" Maru Ali panicked.
"Our goods, our goods are all high-quality Slavic female slaves, regardless of gender, they are all of high quality and low price!" Maru Ali shouted eagerly.
If this group of slaves cannot be sold in Quanzhou, they will be ruined.
Zhang Ju shook his head and smiled wryly. These Persian goods were pretty good, but the key point was that he could not accept them, nor had the right to accept them, let alone sell them privately.
Although Zhang Ju wanted the filial piety of this Persian businessman, it was not up to him, a mere manager, to buy and sell people.
"We Daming don't need goods like yours, you should leave quickly!" Zhang Ju turned around and prepared to leave after finishing speaking.
Seeing this, Maru Ali felt dizzy for a while.
Knowing that his hopes were shattered, he immediately grabbed Zhang Ju and said, "Master Zhang, please tell me, who in the Ming Dynasty can decide to buy these slaves? I am willing to give you a [-]% discount!"
Maru Ali said anxiously.
Seeing his pitiful appearance, Zhang Ju sighed.Said: "His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Empire! Or His Royal Highness the King of England!"
After Zhang Ju finished speaking, he turned and left.
Hearing this, Maru Ali felt overwhelmed, he knew he had to fight.
After he left, he immediately took the fleet to Yingtianfu, the capital of the Ming Dynasty, hoping to find the emperor of the Ming Empire in the capital of the Ming Dynasty, and negotiate with him to let him buy the slaves in his hands.
On the sea outside the city of Quanzhou, Maruali's merchant ships sailed northward.
"Our Persian goods are the best in the world. The emperor of Ming Dynasty and the King of England must like them!" Maru Ali showed a confident smile on his face.
In Yingtian City, an urgent message was sent to Zhu Han's palace.
"Your Highness, the Wa country is urgent!" said a guard.
Zhu Han opened it and laughed immediately.
Seeing this, Lan Yu hurriedly asked, "Your Highness, is this a good news from the Wa Kingdom?"
"Good news, what a fart! The Southern Dynasty of the Wa Kingdom was defeated, and Yoshino Castle was lost." Zhu Han said.
Yoshino Castle was an important city in the Southern Dynasties of the Japanese Kingdom, and the important source of income for the little Japanese king was the taxes from Yoshino Castle.
Now that Yoshino Castle is lost, the Southern Dynasty of the Wa Kingdom was immediately suppressed and beaten by the Northern Dynasty of the Wa Kingdom.
"Ah, why are you laughing, Your Highness?" Sapphire asked suspiciously.
But he knew that Zhu Han was the "wild father" of the little Japanese king of the Southern Dynasty of the Wa Kingdom, and the concubine Fujiwara of the Kingdom of Wa was Zhu Han's best friend.
"It doesn't matter whether the Wa people die or not, I just laugh at the waste of the Wa country!" Zhu Han laughed.
"Then what does His Highness plan to do?" Sapphire eagerly asked.
Now on the battlefield of the Central Plains, the forces of the Mongolian Yuan are already defeated, and Hu Dahai has firmly established his foothold in southern Liaoning. The complete defeat of the Mongolian Yuan is already a certainty. Lan Yu went to the battlefield of the Central Plains. Didn't get many chances to make meritorious service.
Now that he hears about the changes in the Wa country, he immediately wants to show his hand to relieve the boredom.
Zhu Han also saw what Sapphire was thinking, and said to him with a smile: "Since the silver mine of Iwami Fan came out, the Northern Dynasty of Wa Kingdom has been jealous. Now that Yoshino Castle has been captured, the next step must be to attack Iwami Fan. How about leaving it to you to solve it?"
When Lan Yu heard this, she immediately became happy, "Don't worry, Your Highness, the general will kill all the Japanese in the end!"
Zhu Han said with a smile: "The best situation for the country of Wa now is the division between the north and the south. After you go to the country of Wa, just kill the prestige of the northern army of the country of Wa, so that they dare not continue to invade Shijian Yinshan. Let Wa Kingdom fight among itself, the more people they die, the happier I will be!"
After hearing Zhu Han's words, Lan Yu immediately understood Zhu Han's deep intention.
"Your Highness, I finally understand." Sapphire said hastily.
Zhu Han thought for a while, and then continued: "You don't need to bring too many officers and soldiers to attack the Northern Dynasty of the Wa Kingdom this time. It is best to draw more soldiers from the Eight Banners of Goryeo and let the Goryeo people fight against the Wa people. , tsk... a devil versus a stick, it doesn't matter who dies!"
After two years of training, today's Goryeo Eight Banners soldiers already have considerable combat power.
It shouldn't be a problem to use sticks to deal with devils in Japan.
The Ming army led by Lan Yu only needs to play the role of supervising the battle team.
And make the final fatal blow.
"Don't worry, Your Highness, the general will understand!" Sapphire immediately accepted the order.
Afterwards, Lan Yu took Zhu Han's military order to prepare for the military operation to go east to Japan.
Just when Zhu Han finished handling a lot of government affairs and wanted to go to the back garden to find his side concubine Liu Sanniang to hold his little hands gently, the guard outside the door came in to report again.
"Your Highness, Hu Weiyong asks to see you."
Hearing that Hu Weiyong came to look for him, Zhu Han knew that he must not be able to sneak away again.
Zhu Han is still the Minister of Yingtianfu in Ming Dynasty now, but he has too many concurrent official positions, and it is impossible to be busy, so Zhu Han basically has a name for Yingtianfu's affairs, and entrusts Hu Weiyong with all the big and small matters. Ying Tianfu is everything.
Anyway, after so many years of getting along, Hu Weiyong is still very honest and responsible today.
He didn't have the slightest look of dying in history with the ambition to control the Ming Dynasty.
"Let him come in." Zhu Han sat back on the grand master's chair again and said.
Soon, the guards of Yingtian Mansion brought in Hu Weiyong, the governor of Yingtian Mansion.
"Your Majesty Hu Weiyong, see Your Highness Chitose!"
Hu Weiyong's attitude towards Zhu Han has always been the most humble among all officials and generals.
Because every time he met Zhu Han, Hu Weiyong always felt that His Royal Highness had a very scrutinizing attitude towards him, as if he was very jealous and guarded against him, which made Hu Weiyong feel uncomfortable all over, it was like a thorn in his back!
Therefore, every time Hu Weiyong met Zhu Han, he was trembling.
It is simply more respectful and careful than seeing Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang of the Ming Dynasty.
"Excuse me, old Hu, what are you looking for?" Zhu Han said.
Hearing His Highness the King of England call himself 'Old Hu', Hu Weiyong felt a little relieved.
"Your Highness, it's actually just a trivial matter. A Semu man who claimed to be a Persian merchant brought a shipment of goods from the West. The Quanzhou Shipping Department didn't dare to let him manage it, so he came to Yingtian Mansion. He wanted to see the King of England. Your Highness, I want you to make the decision for him!" Hu Weiyong said.
"Oh, that's all it is?" Zhu Han was a little puzzled. He didn't know what kind of goods made the Quanzhou Shipping Department rich but not profitable.
"Yes, Your Highness, there is only one thing." Hu Weiyong said carefully.
"Quickly tell me, what exactly is the Persian merchant bringing?" Zhu Han asked.
Hu Weiyong quickly said: "Reporting to Your Highness, they are slaves, a large number of slaves with lustful eyes!"
"slave?"
As soon as Zhu Han heard it, he immediately became energetic.
In this era, selling slaves to the Central Plains is not a popular business. The Central Plains people are very discriminatory towards the Semu people. In addition, the Semu people under the Mongolian Yuan rule have a higher status, and there will be no Semu people who sell their compatriots in large numbers. Come to the Central Plains.
"Your Highness, the Persian businessman said that this is a large number of Slavic slaves. There are about 600 men and women!" Hu Weiyong said.
"Slavic slaves? Damn it, big ocean horses?"
At this time, Zhu Han was not simply excited, but very excited.
He never imagined that he would meet a group of Eastern European wild horses here in Daming.
"Where is that Persian businessman?" Zhu Han stood up excitedly.
"Reporting to Your Highness, that Persian businessman is in the Yamen of Yingtian Mansion." Hu Weiyong said.
Seeing that Zhu Han was so excited, he didn't know whether it was a good thing or a bad thing, and he felt a little uneasy.
If the Persian businessman named Maru Ali hadn't honored him with a large sum of gold coins, he wouldn't have come to bother His Royal Highness.
Now it seems that His Royal Highness's reaction far exceeded Hu Weiyong's expectations.
"Your Highness, do you want to call him?" Hu Weiyong asked carefully.
"No, come with me to Yingtian Mansion, I want to meet this Persian in person!" After Zhu Han said that, he strode out the door and ran towards Yingtian Mansion.
Inside the yamen of Yingtian Mansion, Maru Ali, who was dressed as a Persian businessman, was kneeling on the ground cautiously.
In front of him was His Royal Highness, the most powerful British King in the entire Ming Dynasty except for Emperor Hongwu.
"Your name is Maru Ali?" Zhu Han looked at the Persian businessman, who was dressed in an ordinary businessman.
"Your Highness, the villain is Maru Ali, a businessman from Persia." Maru Ali said hastily.
"Well, I heard you brought a group of slaves?" Zhu Han asked.
"Yes, Your Highness, they are all high-quality goods. The Slavs on the Chincha Grassland are all young men and women. Whether it is the paradise of Eastern Rome or the harem of the Seljuk Turks, there are no such good and high-quality goods." Stuff!" Maru Ali saw the interest of the Great Ming King, and immediately began to boast professionally.
"Hehe, empty talk is useless, let's go to the pier and have a look." Zhu Han said with a smile.
"As you wish, my esteemed highness!" Maru Ali laughed immediately, he knew that his business was going to be successful this time!
Zhu Han and his party came to the pier to let Maru Ali's merchant ship dock.
Then a large number of blond and blue-eyed Eastern European Slavic slaves appeared in front of Zhu Han.
These Eastern European Slavic slaves, the men all have very strong muscles, their skin is fair and delicate, their faces are unusually handsome, and they have exquisite facial features. They look like works of art, and they are carefully selected first-class goods .
Moreover, these Eastern European Slavic slaves all wore a kind of tattered clothes, showing their skin completely.
Especially those Slavic female slaves.
Their skin is much fairer than that of ordinary women, but they are still healthy and look very seductive.
"Your Highness, look, look at these Slavic female slaves, how beautiful they are, look over there, I bought those women with money, they are my treasures!" Maru Ali saw Zhu Han I have been looking at these Slavic female slaves, so I introduced them.
Zhu Han glanced at these female slaves and nodded, "Sure enough, they are first-class goods!"
"Thank you for your compliment, Your Highness!" Maru Ali was very happy.
The better His Royal Highness treats him, the better it is for his business.
"Well, I think all of your goods are pretty good, they are all high-quality goods! But the price"
"Don't worry, Your Highness, as long as you like, I can give these slaves a [-]% discount, which is definitely worth the money."
"Oh? [-]% discount, you can consider it!"
Zhu Han nodded in satisfaction.
Seeing this, Maru Ali immediately said: "Your Highness, if you are satisfied, I can bring in more Qincha slaves, as long as the price is right and the quality and quantity are guaranteed!"
"Well, okay, I want all the slaves you have in the future." Zhu Han said with a smile.
"Thank you, Your Highness!" Maru Ali was so excited that he was about to cry, this is a big customer!
"However, I want to make it clear to you that from now on, as long as I am a female slave, I will not allow any male slaves to be transported to the territory of Daming!" Zhu Han said.
He had a normal orientation, he was only interested in white and beautiful wild horses. As for the male slaves, let them serve the Arabs and Turks.
"Obey, Your Highness!" Maru Ali was overjoyed!
Most of the slaves this time are female slaves, and there are very few male slaves. He can definitely make a lot of money.
. . . . . . . .
Wa country, Yoshino Castle.
Outside Yoshino Castle.
Lan Yu, the governor of the Fusang Governor's Mansion of the Ming Dynasty, was in front of the horse formation, looking at Yoshino Castle not far away and said.
A few months ago, the Northern Dynasty of the Wa Kingdom suddenly sent troops to defeat the Southern Dynasty of the Wa Kingdom supported by the Ming Dynasty, not only killed thousands of soldiers of the Southern Dynasty of the Wa Kingdom, but also captured the important city Yoshino Castle.
The elder brother Zhu Yuanzhang was furious, he followed Zhu Han's suggestion, and sent Lan Yu to lead five thousand Ming troops and ten thousand Koryo Eight Banners soldiers to conquer the Northern Dynasty of Japan.
After a battle, Lan Yu easily led his army to the foot of Yoshino Castle.
"My lord, the Japanese in the city have said that they will fight to the death and never retreat!" A soldier of the Ming army who had just gone to persuade him to surrender came back and returned.
After Sapphire heard it, it could be said that it was exactly what she wanted.
"Haha, I will definitely let the Japanese in Yoshino City know what the real power of Heaven is!"
After several rounds of artillery bombardment, Sapphire waved his command flag and let his Goryeo Eight Banners soldiers take the lead in attacking the city.
With the attack of Goryeo Eight Banners soldiers, the Japanese defenders immediately fell into panic.
However, the fighting will of the soldiers of the Japanese country was very tenacious. Under the fierce resistance of the soldiers of the Japanese country, the Goryeo Eight Banners soldiers still failed to break through the defenders of the Japanese country.
After a round of attack, the Goryeo Eight Banners soldiers were repulsed by Japanese soldiers.
Lan Yu had already expected the tenacious fighting will of the Japanese defenders, so she did not give up and continue to attack.
"The soldiers of the Eight Banners of Korea listen to the order, and the second echelon is ready to charge!"
Lan Yu gave an order, and the Goryeo Eight Banners soldiers quickly marched forward.
"Kill!"
The Goryeo Eight Banners soldiers shouted together!
Like a mad dog, he rushed towards the Japanese defenders again.
"Kill Kill Kill"
The soldiers of the Southern Dynasties of the Japanese Kingdom were not to be outdone!
Holding shields, spears and other weapons, they fought fiercely with the Goryeo Eight Banners soldiers.
The Goryeo Eight Banners soldiers are already the strongest troops in Goryeo, so there is no need to say more about their rich combat experience.
Moreover, because the Goryeo Eight Banners soldiers are well trained and much stronger than ordinary people, the Japanese defenders appear very weak in front of them.
After a round of offensive, the Japanese defenders fell into a hard fight again.
"Boom boom boom!"
"Ahhh"
The Japanese soldier let out a miserable cry, and was knocked to the ground by the Goryeo Eight Banners soldiers.
The offensive of the Goryeo Eight Banners soldiers was so fierce that the Japanese defenders could not resist it at all.
However, the Japanese soldiers gritted their teeth and repelled the Goryeo Eight Banners soldiers again.
Seeing this, Sapphire waved her hand.
"Stop attacking and rest for a while."
"Yes."
Hearing the order, the Goryeo Eight Banners soldiers stopped attacking one after another.
During this period of time, the Goryeo Eight Banners attacked more than ten times in a row.
Although the defense line of the Japanese garrison was already crumbling, it still did not collapse. It can be seen that the strength of the Japanese garrison is still very strong.
"Pass on the general's order, the next attack, everyone will fight to the death, the general does not mind using military law!"
"Yes!"
"Kill Kill Kill"
The Goryeo Eight Banners soldiers shouted again!
Continue to kill the Japanese defenders in front, and the casualties of the Japanese defenders continue to increase.
The formation of the Japanese defenders has been messed up, and their minds have also begun to fluctuate.
Seeing this, Sapphire secretly sneered in her heart.
The morale of the Japanese defenders is already in disarray, as long as they work harder, they will surely collapse across the board.
This is the tactical purpose of Sapphire.
Under Lan Yu's command, the Goryeo Eight Banners soldiers became more and more determined to fight.
Finally, under Lanyu's deployment, the Goryeo Eight Banners soldiers launched another attack.
The Japanese garrison fell into chaos again!
Their formation also began to become shaky!
With a wave of Lan Yu's hand, the Goryeo Eight Banners soldiers rushed forward again.
"Kill Kill Kill"
As the Eight Banners soldiers of Goryeo attacked again, the position of the Japanese defenders was once again in turmoil, and they had no sense of resistance.
The soldiers of the Japanese defenders fell one after another, and the Goryeo Eight Banners soldiers also beheaded the heads of the Japanese soldiers one after another, and the blood stained the whole earth.
Sapphire's eyes shone with excitement, the Japanese soldiers had been completely defeated, and now there were only the last few Japanese elites left, as long as they were eliminated, then victory would be won.
The camp of the Japanese defenders has been completely disintegrated, and their morale has dropped to the extreme!
Seeing this, Sapphire immediately gave the order to attack for the last time, and the Goryeo Eight Banners soldiers immediately launched a fierce attack again.
click
puff
Following bursts of rushing and killing, the Japanese soldiers in the city began to be defeated.
The heads of the Japanese soldiers who were killed rolled out, and blood spurted out one after another.
The howling is also endless.
Not long after, the formation of the Japanese defenders finally completely lost their resistance.
Those who were killed by the Goryeo Eight Banners soldiers threw away their helmets and armor, and the last guard also fell under the sword of the Goryeo Eight Banners soldiers.
"Wan Sheng, Wan Sheng!"
The Goryeo Eight Banners soldiers had a ferocious expression on their faces, and their eyes were also bloodthirsty. They were like a group of killing devils.
The Goryeo Eight Banners soldiers roared excitedly.
Listening to the roar and killing of these Goryeo Eight Banners soldiers, Lan Yu, who was standing in the distance observing the battle situation, also showed a satisfied smile on his face.
Sapphire led the army and easily defeated the Northern Army of the Wa Kingdom outside Yoshino City.
Just dispatching the Goryeo Eight Banners soldiers killed not a single piece of the Japanese Northern Army. The elite of the Ming army stood at the rear of the army formation without even shedding a drop of sweat.
"Report to the general that our army has killed 6000 enemies and captured 2000 people, including more than [-] Japanese wounded soldiers." Quan Qian, the commander of the Eight Banners of Korea, knelt on the ground and said to Lan Yu.
"Two thousand wounded Japanese pirates, saving rice for waste! Kill them all, and build a Jingguan for Lao Tzu outside Yoshino City, to show my mighty military exploits!" Lan Yu said with a relaxed face.
"Follow the general." Quan Qian, the commander of the Goryeo Eight Banners Army, was startled when he heard this, and his whole body trembled immediately.
Quan Qian didn't dare to slack off in the slightest, and immediately returned to the army according to Lan Yu's instructions, ordered the beheading of all the wounded Japanese soldiers who had just been captured, and then prepared to use their heads to build a Jingguan.
With the sound of wailing on the battlefield, all the wounded Japanese soldiers outside Yoshino City were all killed.
When the Japanese Northern Army entered Yoshino City, they had already carried out a lot of robbery and killing, so there were not many Japanese people left in the entire Yoshino City.
"If it weren't for the order of His Royal Highness, I would have killed all the Japanese in Yoshino City." Lan Yu looked at the corpses of Japanese soldiers killed on the battlefield expressionlessly, and thought to herself.
After a long period of garrison in the Wa country, Lan Yu has already figured out the habits of these islanders. They are a group of barbarians who are fearful of power but not virtuous.
If it weren't for the silver mines of Iwami Fan that required a lot of slave labor, Sapphire wouldn't even keep the remaining Japanese pirates with intact hands and feet.
After the execution of the wounded soldiers, all the enemies in the Yoshino Castle of the Wa Kingdom were finally wiped out, and some of the people of the Wa Kingdom were driven out to clean up the battlefield.
"General Lan, when will Yoshino City allow the king and the concubine to come back here?"
At this time, a dwarf dressed as a Japanese official came to Lan Yu and asked respectfully.
The official of the Wa Kingdom, who is like a little monkey, was the official in charge of the palace in the Southern Dynasty of the Wa Kingdom, and his name was Ono Taro.
Ono Taro's status in the Wa Kingdom is basically equivalent to the level of the prime minister of the Central Plains Dynasty.
However, in front of Lan Yu, the Ming general, Ono Taro respectfully treated him like a servant.
"Yoshino Castle is dilapidated now, and it must undergo a major renovation before your concubine and Japanese king can return to the city."
Sapphire said to Taro Ono.
Before Sapphire came to Wa Kingdom, Zhu Han had told Sapphire that after seizing Yoshino City, Daming must station a strong army in Yoshino City, not only to protect the safety of the Southern Dynasty of Wa Kingdom, but also to It can more effectively control the power of the Southern Dynasties of the Wa Kingdom.
Since Iwami Fan discovered a huge silver mine, many gold mines with rich reserves have been discovered one after another.
These minerals are very difficult for Japanese pirates to mine, so even if they knew of the existence of these mineral deposits, they did not have the mining technology.
Now Daming has mined all these gold and silver mines through his own efforts, which has caused many dignitaries in the Japanese country to have great resentment and greed for this, and even some Japanese pirates and lords have begun to think of ways Trying to tear some benefits out of it.
This is absolutely unacceptable to Zhu Han.
Therefore, we must strictly control all the movements of the Southern Dynasty of the Wa Kingdom to prevent them from making peace with the Northern Dynasty of the Kingdom of Wa and threatening the interests of the Ming Dynasty on the islands of the Kingdom of Wa.
After all, although the Southern and Northern Dynasties of Japan in history fought endlessly with each other, the final outcome of the Wa Kingdom was peace talks between the North and the South, the unified Wa Kingdom was restored, and the only emperor was enshrined.
This made Zhu Han have to be careful to prevent the Southern and Northern Dynasties of the Wa Kingdom from compromising with each other in the face of huge interests.
"General Lan is right, so I'll go back and report to Concubine Fujiwara and the King."
Ono Taro saw that Lan Yu didn't have a good face towards him, so he didn't make fun of himself, made an excuse, and left in despair.
Afterwards, Sapphire first built another inner city in Yoshino City according to Zhu Han's request.
The inner city plans to have [-] Ming soldiers stationed there, and [-] Goryeo Eight Banners soldiers.
In this way, in addition to the tens of thousands of Ming garrisons in Iwami Fan, Yoshino City has nearly [-] Ming garrisons.
The garrisons in two places are enough to control the power of the Southern Dynasty of Wa Kingdom.
Of course, in name, it was the Ming Dynasty who saw that the vassal state was facing the enemy from the north, and sent garrisons to protect the vassal state's security.
Outside Yoshino Castle, a busy scene.
"Don't be lazy, whoever dares to be lazy will not give him food!"
"The generals of the Kingdom of Heaven are inspecting over there. Anyone who dares to be lazy will cut off his hands and feet!"
"Finish the work here today! Everyone eats white rice tonight."
A group of overseers wearing bamboo hats and whips in their hands were yelling at the busy Japanese people on the construction site outside Yoshino City.
As a practice of Zhu Han's strategy of "barbarians governing barbarians", using Koryo sticks to closely monitor Japanese devils can be said to kill two birds with one stone.
The two countries already have feuds, so there is no need to worry about them covering up and colluding with each other to deceive the Ming army.
Goryeo Bangzi, which has been harassed by Japanese pirates for hundreds of years, is now facing the Japanese devils. Because of the support of the Ming Dynasty, it has fully demonstrated its harshness and cruelty, and made these Japanese people submissive.
The Japanese people did not dare to resist at all, because once these Japanese people dared to resist these Goryeo Eight Banners soldiers, they would face a series of cruel criminal laws such as beheading, beheading, and whipping.
Using these Koryo sticks, Sapphire recruited a large number of Japanese people around Yoshino Castle, and built a new type of fort outside Yoshino Castle.
The fortress adopts a new design structure, which looks like a huge five-pointed star, with many protruding horse faces, corners and crenels on the wall.
"This is a new type of fortress ordered by His Royal Highness the King of England. When you are constructing it, if there is something you don't understand, don't make claims. You must strictly follow the drawings!"
"His Royal Highness will come here for inspection in the future. If anything goes wrong, I will peel off his skin!"
Lan Yu looked at the new fortress that had begun to take shape in front of her, and warned the overseers of the Goryeo Eight Banners soldiers.
The Yoshino Castle of the Japanese Kingdom is really small, and the thousands of garrisons are too crowded in the Yoshino Castle.
Therefore, according to Zhu Han's instructions, Lan Yu built this new type of fort outside Yoshino City, which is the famous bastion in history.
The bastion uses guns and artillery as the main defensive weapon. Even if there are only a few hundred people, it can withstand the siege of an army of tens of thousands of people, and it will not be at a disadvantage in the battle.
As long as ammunition and food are sufficient, the bastion is theoretically indestructible.
Therefore, once the bastion outside Yoshino City is built, the influence of Daming on Yoshino will last forever, and the confidants of the Wa Kingdom will be firmly controlled by Daming.
Building the Yoshino Bastion requires a lot of human resources, but this is no problem for Sapphire.
Ever since Sapphire led the Ming army to repel the Wa Kingdom and the Northern Dynasty's army, they immediately gained supreme prestige in Yoshino City, and it was not difficult to recruit some manpower.
In addition, Zhu Han attaches great importance to the construction of the fortress of the Wa Kingdom, and has already given Lan Yu an order not to be stingy with food and money, and to recruit the local people of the Wa Kingdom in Yoshino to provide labor. The more the better, the construction period is The shorter the better.
The life of the people in the Japanese country is very poor. The Ming army's daily meal of mixed grains, plus a meal of white rice, can make these Japanese people work hard. With the supervision of the Goryeo Eight Banners soldiers, this project The quality is beyond words. In less than two months, Sapphire built a very strong new bastion under Yoshino Castle.
Concubine Fujiwara and the little emperor Kuancheng of the Japanese country finally returned to Yoshino who were kicked out before.
After the battle of Yoshino.The military power of the Northern Dynasty of the Wa Kingdom was greatly affected, and they did not dare to launch an attack on the Southern Dynasty of the Kingdom of Wa in the near future. As a result, no Wa people dared to disturb Daming's silver mining in Ishii.
Chapter 320 Royal Academy
"At the beginning of human beings, nature is good, nature is similar, habits are far away!"
"Helium hydrogen lithium beryllium boron, carbon nitrogen oxygen fluorine neon!"
"Phylum, order, family, genera and species!"
……
In a corner of the Daming Palace, the sound of reading was heard from several rooms. Zhu Han and Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help smiling gratifiedly as they walked outside these schools.
"Qiwu, the students enrolled in this new school of yours are all very motivated, unlike the lifeless schools of old Confucian students we have seen, who can do nothing but shake their heads!"
Zhu Yuanzhang stroked the beard that had just grown out and said, as an emperor, Zhu Yuanzhang is now very concerned about his majestic appearance, so he naturally grew a beard that symbolizes stability.
"Brother, what you said is really on point. The things taught in our new school are not only novel and useful, but also interesting to learn. They are not comparable to those old scholars." Zhu Han showed a smug smile Said.
The new studies taught in Daming's new school are all the most vivid and interesting standard courses for later generations that Zhu Han obtained through system registration. Students in Daming will naturally learn them very vividly and have fun in learning.
Moreover, this school established in the Daming Palace is not an ordinary school, but the 'Daming Royal School' with the royal name.
All the students here are either the children of princes and nobles, or the children of the emperor's relatives.
"Ding, ding, ding..."
With a crisp bell ringing, it was time for the Daming Royal Academy to end the get out of class.
After a few bells, a group of half-grown children in their teens came out of the school happily.
Although the Daming Royal Academy is built in the palace, it is located in a remote corner of the palace, and there is another small door that is half open, so these students will not pass through the palace after class, but leave the palace directly through the small door, and go back to school after school. Family.
Elder brothers Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Han didn't have too many government affairs to deal with today, so they wanted to come to this new school to inspect and see the academic situation of their nephew Li Wenzhong and eldest nephew Zhu Wenzheng.
I saw a large number of children coming out of school.
The elder brother Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Han retreated to a room next to them.
"Little Guizi, go and bring Li Wenzhong and Zhu Wenzheng here." Zhu Yuanzhang said to a young eunuch who was close to him.
"Your Majesty Zunzhi!" Xiao Guizi ran out quickly.
Soon, Zhu Wenzheng and Li Wenzhong, carrying schoolbags, walked in together.
As soon as they saw Zhu Han and Zhu Yuanzhang, they knelt on the ground and kowtowed to salute.
However, Zhu Yuanzhang bowed his hands with a smile and said, "No, no!"
Both Zhu Wenzheng and Li Wenzhong are in their teens. According to the original history, the Ming Dynasty would not be established so quickly. They still have a lot of time to make contributions on the battlefield and become the founding heroes of the Ming Dynasty.
However, because of the existence of Zhu Han, the founding of the Ming Dynasty was more than ten years earlier than in history, so there is no opportunity for the two juniors, Li Wenzhong and Zhu Wenzheng, to display their military talents.
Today's Zhu Wenzheng and Li Wenzhong are both outstanding students of the Daming Royal Academy, studying physics and chemistry while studying traditional classics and history.
"Let me ask you two, what did you learn in school today?" Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the nephew and the elder nephew and said with a smile.
Ever since he ascended the throne and became the emperor of Ming Dynasty, the elder brother Zhu Yuanzhang has not changed his attitude of valuing his family, especially for the two juniors, Zhu Wenzheng and Li Wenzhong, he is full of love and love in his heart.
