my days with tyrants

Chapter 390 Take good care of my seventh uncle and grandpa
"Pick up!"

Hundreds of households in the cabin personally carried whips and whipped themselves among the Japanese slaves.

The latter sit in pairs of four in pairs, and then work together to shake the long oars.

Of course, he was chained to the oar.

This kind of centipede boat has also become a standard equipment for offshore patrols and inland river operations. After all, even a schooner boat cannot completely get rid of its dependence on wind. It is only suitable for a variety of wind directions, but this kind of centipede boat is Yes, if there is a favorable wind and the oars and sails are used together, the speed will not be inferior to that of the longitudinal sail, but this kind of fast sailing requires burning Japanese slaves...

In fact, it is almost the same as burning.

The Japanese slaves in the bottom cabin rowed their long oars desperately to the beat of increasingly louder drums.

Anyone who moves slightly slowly will be whipped immediately.

Even those that cause serious delays will be dragged aside and chopped off...

"Delaying military aircraft will lead to delays!"

Baihu shouted ferociously.

The Japanese slaves all rowed hard...

They know it's true.

Really good at Ling Chi.

The Japanese slaves were worthless and they had to be killed to exchange for new ones. The He family resold tens of thousands of Japanese slaves from the Japanese country every year. Why did they care about the lives of a hundred or so?Even if the ship transporting them encounters an emergency at sea, they will be thrown directly into the sea in order to escape faster.

"One hundred households, another one died from exhaustion!"

shouted the officer.

A Japanese slave next to him collapsed on the oar and was still twitching.

"throw it out!"

Baihu shouted.

The officer immediately took out the key to open the chain, and then pushed the not-quite-dead Japanese slave directly out of the oar hole on the side. The latter immediately fell into the seawater. Perhaps the stimulation of the seawater made him wake up a little. He was trembling in the sea. He stretched out his hand as if to ask for help, but then the long oar that once locked him fell on his head, and he was instantly pressed into the seawater by the heavy pressure.At the same time, a substitute Japanese slave took his place and was chained to the oar. Together with three other Japanese slaves, he rowed the long oar. As for the other Japanese slaves in the entire bottom cabin, they just continued their work mechanically.They were all slaves who were kidnapped by bankrupt samurai and sold to slave traders. Although this trade is currently prohibited by the government, for the bankrupt samurai of Japan, as long as they have a sword in hand, who cares about the law!

Since returning to the Ming Dynasty, the daimyo, including the Ashikaga family, no longer need samurai...

No more fighting.

On the contrary, as long as they are loyal to the Ming Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty will ensure that they live with the country.

There was no more war between daimyo.

The rebellion at the bottom was suppressed by the Ming Dynasty King's Division.

The only thing the daimyo had to do was to do their best to flatter the Ming Dynasty. In this case, samurai became increasingly useless and expensive to them. After all, supporting samurai required most of their annual income.

No need to raise any more.

High-ranking samurai had fiefdoms.

The big names don’t have to worry about this.

What else do other samurai who need to pay Lumi and money do?

Just force them to fend for themselves!
But under such circumstances, don't blame these samurai for robbing and selling slaves. In fact, it's not just that. Bankrupt samurai are rapidly controlling various theoretically illegal but still prosperous industries in the Japanese country, which has a bit of a post-World War II flavor.And these warriors still belong to the daimyo, so part of the money they make must be given to the daimyo, so that the latter will not care about it, including the robbery and sale of slaves.Anyway, for the daimyo, selling some filthy non-humans to work as Japanese slaves in the Ming Dynasty not only gave the bankrupt samurai a livelihood, but also increased their own income and reduced the population of the territory.

Although in theory, for a daimyo, the more people there are, the better.

but……

That damn place in Japan is short of land!
If the population increases, there will not be enough fertile land. If there is not enough fertile land, a large part of the population will go hungry.

The hungry will rebel.

Not only can this part of the population not be able to provide the daimyo with surplus food to increase their income, but on the contrary, they have to consume the surplus food created by others. If they do not get it, they will choose to rebel or otherwise cause instability due to hunger.

So the best way is to reduce the number.

Men can be sold to the Ming Dynasty to row boats, open up wasteland, build roads, and do all kinds of hard and tiring work. Women can go to the Ming Dynasty to serve. In the end, the famous people take the treasures exchanged with their blood and tears and live in cities everywhere. An increasingly luxurious life.Of course, they also understand the consequences of this. The population of the Japanese country will continue to decrease and the national power will continue to weaken, but it is none of their business. As long as they continue to kneel at the feet of the Ming Emperor and shout the "Bahuang Xiange", they can always maintain their good clothes and fine food.

Being a dog can be very happy!
They are so much happier than before.

In the past, not only did most of the income need to be invested in raising the army, but they also often faced annexation by other daimyo. Even the Ashikaga family found it difficult to live a luxurious life.

But it's different now.

Most of the income from the territory can be used for enjoyment.

Those who like beauties should buy beauties from the Western Regions from the Ming Dynasty. Those who like construction should buy all kinds of new building materials from the Ming Dynasty to make their castles beautiful. As for the various new things in the Ming Dynasty, such as chiming bells, glass mirrors, etc. Even all kinds of glass, glazed products and even new-style carriages.

All have.

Of course, even if the people eat bran-pharyngeal vegetables, this is also indispensable.

But don’t be afraid!

Dare to rebel?

The five-star emperor Qihou Ye's heavenly soldiers are in Edo!
Whoever dares to rebel will send the cannonballs of the heavenly soldiers one by one.

Very beautiful.

Moreover, such self-reduction can also make the Ming Emperor feel completely at ease with them.

After all, he has accomplished this, and he is definitely loyal to the sun and the moon.

In the end, the Japanese slaves became the sludge at the bottom of the Ming Dynasty, and the Japanese country also became a manufacturing machine for this sludge...

"Baihu, we've arrived at Humen!"

There were shouts outside.

Baihu rushed out quickly, then looked at Humen not far away, and then turned to look behind him.

Dots of white sails can already be seen behind.

"After all, we got there first!"

he said with a sigh of relief.

After all, he won the sea race by exhausting a dozen Japanese slaves to death.

He originally wanted to go to Tuen Mun to report the news, but some warships from the ruling fleet blocked his way to Tuen Mun, and other warships also wanted to surround him. He had no choice but to go northward to the west of Taixi Mountain, and was almost followed by the ruling fleet. While chasing, I didn't bother to go to Tuen Mun. The tide just started to rise again, so I just went straight to Humen.After all, Tuenmen actually doesn't have many troops. It's just a base for patrolling and checking smuggling. Humen is the real fortress with heavy troops. As long as Humen prepares for war quickly, the ruling fleet can't even think about it.

The centipede boat docked next.

Baihu jumped onto the pier and ran towards Humen Fort in the astonished eyes of everyone on the shore.

He rushed up to the fort in one breath at the fastest speed he could achieve...

"Quick, quick, the bandits are here!"

he said out of breath.

Hua Ying, who was talking to someone, turned her head in shock...

"What bandit army has arrived?"

he shouted.

"Hua, General Hua, is the ruling fleet, just behind the small one."

Baihu quickly saluted and said.As he spoke, he pointed toward the sea in the distance.

Hua Ying hurriedly raised the telescope and looked at the dots of white sails there.

"Bastard, where is the ruling fleet? Are you confused and mistaking the whaling clippers for the ruling fleet? The Marquis of Qingyuan is at war with Zheng He. If they don't fight to win, how can the ruling fleet get past them and get to Humen?"

Hua Ying said angrily.

Hundreds of households were stunned.

He pointed to the growing number of white sails on the sea.

"General Hua, why are there so many whalers?
That is the ruling fleet. I came closer to see clearly. I was almost surrounded by them. You should quickly order preparations for war. It will be too late if it is later. "

He said.

"Asshole, this general wants you to teach me how to do things with a hundred households?"

Hua Ying said angrily.

Hundreds of households were speechless.

Why doesn't he understand that Hua Ying doesn't believe something so obvious?

"Get rid of this bastard who is disturbing the morale of the army."

Hua Ying shouted.

The soldiers rushed up and chased away hundreds of households.

"General Hua, they are really the enemy, they are really the ruling fleet, I can see it clearly, don't miss the important matter, brothers, you have to believe me, what I say is true, that is really the ruling fleet, they are here to attack Humen is here, brothers..."

Baihu struggled, shouting like a loyal man who had been wronged.

"boom!"

Suddenly gunshots rang out.

He looked at Huaying in shock at the short gun in his hand, and the others also looked at Huaying in shock.

"This bitch must have been bribed by the Northerners to deliberately spread rumors to disrupt the morale of our army and the people. Throw him down as a warning to others!"

Hua Ying shouted.

Under the complicated eyes of everyone on the fort, his cronies immediately dragged Baihu's dead body and threw him directly from the fort. The latter disappeared below with full loyalty to his seventh uncle and Jianwen. In the waves of the rising tide.At this time, more and more white sails appeared on the sea in the distance, as if endless, and everyone on the fort did not speak, just looking at Huaying cautiously.At this time, anyone with any brains will understand that there is obviously something wrong with General Hua. This is definitely not a whaling ship. There are hundreds of whaling ships coming together. There are not a hundred such large whaling ships in the entire Guangdong. Where's the boat!

Even He Di's navy didn't have so many clippers.

This is the ruling fleet heading south.

Although I don't know how they quietly evaded He Di's fleet patrol and warning, and then suddenly appeared in Humen, this is indeed the ruling fleet.

and so……

just wait!
Anyway, Hua Ying is the main commander.

Then they, including the traders on the dock and even the sailors on the Centipede boat, all watched strangely as the huge fleet got closer and closer, until the first two-masted clipper docked directly at the dock under their gaze.However, people were shocked to find a man wearing floral clothes standing on the mast. The latter was holding the mast with one hand and carrying the brown cable with the other beside the hunting flag. The moment the clipper docked at the dock, he jumped He jumped, and then suddenly paused in mid-air just before hitting the pier. The next moment, he was standing on the pier.He walked forward leisurely under the stunned gaze, and handed a child a piece of black stuff...

"Sugar, delicious."

He said.

Then he continued walking forward while being watched by the crowd.

At this time, Hua Ying had already arranged his clothes and walked down the fort. The officers behind him followed their General Hua mechanically, until they walked up to the man...

"The guilty minister Guangzhou Zuowei hereditary Qianhu Huaying pays homage to the ambassador!"

Huaying saluted and said.

"Ah, it seems that your father is buried in the capital, right?"

Yang Feng said.

"Go back to the ambassador, just outside Ander's Gate."

Huaying said quickly.

His family was transferred from Shencewei to the Guangzhou left-back.

"Fortunately, it has not been affected by the artillery fire. What is the relationship between your family and the Dongqiu Hou family?"

Yang Feng asked.

Hua Yun's son Hua Wei had already inherited the title given to his father when the Queen came to the throne and showered him with rewards.

"Ambassador Hui, they just have the same surname. The ancestral home of the criminal family is Chao County, and the ancestral home of Dongqiu Hou is Huaiyuan."

Huaying said quickly.

"You are also following Taizu to conquer the world, and the government is behind you. Since you have turned against me, you are not guilty, and the same is true for you. As long as you are not those lustful and rebel leaders, others who take the initiative to turn against the party are not guilty."

Yang Feng said.

The officers behind Hua Ying were instantly refreshed, as if the sun had cleared through the clouds...

"Ambassador, now Guangzhou doesn't know that the heavenly troops have arrived. The general is willing to be the vanguard of the king's army. King Guangze only relies on Semu. It's just that time is short and Semu has not all gathered in Guangzhou. We can take advantage of the opportunity to work together. The general is willing to serve Wang Shi attacked the city to atone for his previous sins. The general's brother is at Yuzhu Fort. He has always been thinking about the capital, but he had no choice but to compromise with the rebels. As long as Wang Shi arrives at Yuzhu, the general will be able to protect him."

one officer said impatiently.

Other military officers expressed their opinions one after another, patting their chests one by one and saying that they would open Guangzhou to power.

"You are commendable for your courage, but the ruler has an order. King Guangze was just confused for a moment, but he is still an aunt and nephew to the ruler, so he will not attack by force. We should send an envoy to make him wake up."

Yang Feng said with a smile.

"Uh?"

Hua Ying and others were all dumbfounded.

"Ambassador, King Guangze is stubborn by nature and has deep resentment against the government. From the perspective of the general, this may not be useful. It also allows King Guangze to gather troops and horses. After all, Guangzhou is well-defended. Once the troops and horses gather, I am afraid it will not be possible." You can leave anytime soon."

Huaying cautiously objected to this obviously insane decision.

You've all entered Humen. If you don't take the opportunity to go straight to Guangzhou, what's the point of playing Xiaoyu?
How did you guys take over the world with such twitchy brains?

The tide is rising right now, and the wind is favorable. The army will arrive in Guangzhou in a few hours, but they still stop to tell the truth?

Brother, you are at war!

"Well, you also know that the ruler is a woman, and sometimes you really don't know what she thinks, but no matter what she thinks, her orders are orders. You don't want to just see the ruler and dare to openly disobey her orders, right?"

Yang Feng said.

He just threw the Twitch hat to the princess.

Of course, we have to stop telling the story. The key to Guangzhou is Humen. As long as we enter Humen, Guangzhou will be a matter of time. But since Zhu Yunwen's elite men haven't arrived yet, let's wait until they do.Ambassador Yang's real target is not Zhu Yunwen. The latter is not worthy of his and the little princess's personal expedition. The key is to clean up the garbage in Guangdong.

"As for you, why don't you hurry up and get ready to take power? Besides, the He family is from Dongguan, right? Don't you want to ransack the house?"

he then shouted.

Huaying and others suddenly woke up...

Yes, getting rich is the most important thing. Why bother with Guangzhou at this time? Wouldn't it be better to go to Dongguan to raid homes?
