Daming: Mixed in Dangzhi County, Beiping

Chapter 153 Eunuchs Going to Mining

"Good kill!"

After hearing this, Zhu Di was overjoyed and wished he could hold a banquet to celebrate immediately.

Deputy Baihu said with a face full of resignation: "Your Highness, if the last general waits for the boat to be followed by ten net shuttle boats and eagle boats, none of the Japanese pirates in custody will be able to escape."

Zhu Di said: "You are already very brave, when you go back, we will reward you heavily.

As for the soldiers who died in the war, we will also double the pension for their families. "

"Thank you, Your Highness!"

Deputy Baihu's face was full of gratitude.

Zhu Di nodded slightly, then walked out.

"Go home quickly."

"Yes, Your Highness..."

And the group of merchants outside were still scrambling to buy sea fish, not knowing that the sea fish they bought were almost snatched by Japanese pirates.

……

Wait until Zhu Di, Guo An and others return to Yan Palace.

Xu Xiang has brought another hundred households, waiting in the Cunxin Hall.

As soon as he saw Zhu Di, Xu Xiang quickly told the story of encountering Japanese pirates in the sea, especially the process of the war.

What he said was almost the same as what the deputy hundred household said at Zhangjiawan Wharf.

However, let Zhu Di, Guo An and others know that the large nets carried by the four large ships were all greatly damaged.

Moreover, ten Japanese pirates were also captured.

Zhu Di's face brightened, and he asked directly, "Where is the man?"

Xu Xiang replied: "Return to Your Highness, the pirates have a bad body, the last general and others left them outside the palace."

Zhu Di said: "Take us quickly to see what Japanese pirates look like!"

"Follow the order!"

Xu Xiang responded and hurried forward to lead the way.

Ten purple-red skinned Japanese pirates who were one head shorter than normal, their hands and feet were tightly bound, and their mouths were stuffed with stinky cloth. In the carriage.

Before Guo An could approach Zhu Di, he smelled an unspeakable stench.

"Why is it so fishy?"

Standing five steps away, Zhu Di frowned as he looked at the ten stinking Japanese pirates piled up on the carriage.

Xu Xiang replied honestly: "Reporting to Your Highness, the last general doesn't know."

Zhu Di said with a full face of disgust: "Forget it, drag it down and eunuch it, send it to the mine, find a few people to watch, those miners are not allowed to beat these Japanese pirates, we want them to dig mines for us for a lifetime!"

Xu Xiang's face was full of excitement: "Follow the order!"

Seeing that Zhu Di and others couldn't pass, the Japanese pirates who were tied to the car board suddenly became anxious. They yelled and raised their feet and heads, but they just couldn't stand up, like a chopping board sea ​​fish on.

"Snapped……"

Seeing this, the guard on the side directly raised the whip in his hand, and then beat it down hard, "Be honest with Yeye..."

It really worked, until Zhu Di, Guo An and others were no longer visible, none of these pirates dared to move.

"Go, pull down and eunuch these beasts!"

"Haha, General, the villain wants to eunuch one!"

"Have you ever eunuched a pig, and you want to eunuch these Japanese thieves?"

"Hey, the villain has been eunuch..."

"General..."

For the tragic experience of the ten Japanese pirates, Zhu Di, Guo An and others did not have the slightest sympathy.

After returning to the Hall of Cultivation, Zhu Di began to talk about the rewards and pensions for the more than 300 guards and forty fishermen on the fishing boat.

However, this kind of matter of Zhu Di taking out his wallet by himself is basically what Zhu Di said, and Guo An and Zhu Fu nodded accordingly.

"Each of the hundreds of generals on the ship will be rewarded with 50 taels of silver, and they will be promoted to a higher level, but their real power will not change.

All the remaining guards will be rewarded with 20 taels of silver each.

Fishermen, each rewarded with ten taels of silver.

As for the soldiers who died in the war, each will receive 100 taels of silver as a pension, and the family members will make proper arrangements for them..."

"Thank you, Your Highness!"

"Your Highness is wise!"

"Your Highness is merciful..."

Guo An and Zhu Fu clasped their hands together.

But Xu Xiang and other generals were overjoyed.

Although the 100 taels of silver for the pension is not much, it can be worth the income of ordinary people's families for five years.

Moreover, just for this wave of rewards and awards, Zhu Di would spend nearly ten thousand taels of silver, which only needs to go to sea to catch three or four sea fish to earn back.

And what makes Xu Xiang and others the happiest is that they were promoted to a higher level...

As Xu Xiang followed He Zhong, Zhu Di narrowed his eyes and said in a cold voice, "I didn't expect those Japanese pirates to come to Bohai instead of going to Koryo to plunder. Damn it!"

Guo An said: "Your Highness, the entire Ming Dynasty does not go to sea, except for the Ming Dynasty Navy that is fishing in the southern waters, there are only four seagoing ships from my Beiping Mansion.

Those Japanese pirates will naturally not let go of such a good opportunity! "

Zhu Di asked: "Guo Qing means that the Japanese pirates will come again?"

Guo An replied: "Please forgive me, Your Highness, I am not sure that those Japanese pirates will come to Bohai again.

After all, Xu Baihu and other soldiers killed nearly half of them. "

Zhu Fu said: "Your Highness, I feel that no matter what, our Yan Palace must guard against it. The Japanese pirates are rogues after all, and they live by plundering.

They couldn't stay in Korea, so they had to come to Daming. "

Zhu Di thought for a moment, then said: "If that's the case, then buy four more big boats and go fishing with Xu Xiang.

Also, after the fishing boat, follow the ten net shuttle boats and eagle boats! "

Guo An was taken aback, "Your Highness, is this a little too big!"

Zhu Fu also hurriedly said: "Your Highness, those Japanese pirates are treacherous and cunning, and they are elusive. If they see so many ships, they will definitely not dare to come up."

Zhu Di said: "Then let the four big boats hide people, and add fifty soldiers to each boat. We must make those Japanese thieves come and go!"

Guo An said helplessly: "Your Highness, 90 people per ship is already the limit, no more!"

Zhu Di looked at Guo An and Zhu Fu quietly, and said, "We can't add more boats, and we can't hide people, so what should we do?"

Zhu Fu and Guo An looked at each other, and said slowly: "Your Highness, it's better to add a boat, you can't kill the lives of the soldiers of my Yan Palace just to kill the pirates!"

Guo An also nodded slightly.

Zhu Di said: "If that's the case, let's add four more big ships, ten net shuttle boats and eagle boats. However, the fleet should be divided into two teams, one in front and one behind, separated by ten miles.

In this way, we can not only lure the Japanese thief to come, but also support each other! "

"Your Highness is wise!"

Guo An and Zhu Fu quickly nodded in response.

Soon, following Zhu Di's order, the Gongzheng Office of King Yan's Mansion began to get busy again.

at the same time.

The news that the fishing boat of King Yan's Mansion encountered Japanese pirates and won a big victory also began to spread in Beiping Mansion.

At the same time, there were ten more castrated Japanese pirate miners in Yanwang Iron Mine, and the news spread inexplicably.

Many common people and businessmen clapped their hands and applauded, and of course some great Confucian scholars criticized this.

However, with the precedent of His Majesty the emperor in the capital, those Confucian scholars did not dare to make too much noise.

……

Yingtian City, inside Fengtian Hall.

Lao Zhu held a memorial in his hand and looked at it, his eyes were full of joy.

"Biao'er, I didn't expect so many merchants to go to a mere concrete house and dock."

After the transfer, Zhu Biao also felt a little bit emotional, "I also heard that Zhangjiawan Wharf is like a paradise on earth, and all the people, merchants, and hawkers are laughing and laughing."

Old Zhu said: "We just listened to Jin Yiwei's report. The fourth child made a lot of money in just half a month on the Zhangjiawan wharf!"

Zhu Biao said: "Father, it is my great blessing that the fourth child is suddenly so good at governing the people!"

"Ok!"

Lao Zhu nodded slightly, "We are going to let the fourth brother send the secret cement recipe to the capital, and we also want to build the capital's wharf."

Zhu Biao cupped his hands and said, "Father is wise!"

The corners of Lao Zhu's mouth curled up slightly, and just as he was about to say a few more words, he saw Er Hu hurried in from the outside.

"Two Tigers, what happened?"

"Your Majesty Qi Zuo, His Royal Highness King Yan has sent you Ji Zuo."

The two tigers approached, saluted Lao Zhu respectfully, and then presented a memorial with both hands.

Lao Zhu's face turned serious, and he said directly: "Bring it to us!"

"Yes, Your Highness!"

A servant hurriedly took the memorial from Erhu and handed it to Lao Zhu.

"Ok?"

After opening it for a glance, Lao Zhu's expression darkened, and then he straightened up again.

"Dare to ask Father, what happened?"

Zhu Biao asked curiously.

Old Zhu said with joy on his face: "There was a group of 600 pirates who dared to attack Lao Si's fishing boat, and in the end, 300 of them were killed by the soldiers on Lao Si's fishing boat, and the rest of the Japanese pirates fled in panic... …

And the soldiers on the fourth fishing boat only killed 20 people and injured a hundred..."

Zhu Biao couldn't help exclaiming, "How is this possible?"

Old Zhu didn't blame him, just smiled lightly, and threw the memorial in his hand to Zhu Biao, "Look for yourself, we didn't expect that the big fishing net is so easy to use?"

Zhu Biao quickly opened the memorial, and quickly read it. The more he looked, the more surprised he became, and finally he said excitedly, "My Ming soldiers are so brave!"

"Your Majesty, Jin Yiwei has an urgent call!"

At this time, another servant hurried in from outside the door.

"Bring it up!"

"Here!"

Lao Zhu opened the memorial again and read it.

Afterwards, he laughed and scolded, "Young Four, you are really relieved!"

"Father, what happened to the fourth child?"

Seeing this, Zhu Biao was taken aback, and asked curiously, he could see that his father was not angry.

"Xu Xiang and other officers and men from the hundreds of households on the fishing boat of the old four, that bastard, also captured ten Japanese pirates. And the old four actually ordered the ten Japanese pirates to be eunuched, and even threw them to the mine for him to mine..."

"This……"

Zhu Biao couldn't help looking at Lao Zhu with a strange look on his face, but he didn't dare to comment because of his kindness.

He felt that the fourth son's bastard should have learned from his own father.

Old Zhu ignored Zhu Biao's weird eyes, but said again: "We didn't expect those Japanese pirates to go to Bohai Sea.

This time, Hejian Mansion, Yongping Mansion, and Laizhou Mansion must be taught to take strict precautions.

If the Japanese pirates are caught, they will be eunuchs, and they will be mined for our Daming..."

"In addition, Jin Yiwei has to find out for us, where are these pirates coming from..."

"The fourth fishing boat is allowed to carry firearms. If there are any Japanese pirates who dare to attack the fourth fishing boat, we will blow them up and throw them into the Bohai Sea to feed the fish..."

"Father is wise!"

……

Following Lao Zhu's order, Zhu Di hastily summoned Guo An.

"Guo Qing, as you expected, Father actually asked us for the secret recipe of cement!"

Regarding this, Guo An could only helplessly say: "Then we can only give the secret recipe to His Majesty, but please explain to Your Majesty the importance of the secret recipe of cement."

"We know it!"

Zhu Di nodded and said, "In addition, the emperor also allowed us to equip the fishing boat with firearms!"

"firearm?"

Guo An's eyes lit up, "Your Highness, I may be able to develop a treasure, so that the Japanese pirates on the sea will die without a place to bury them!"

……

　Zhu Yuanzhang said to King Gongmin of Goryeo: "The Japanese invaded you in Changchuan, so you prepare three to five hundred ships and hand them over to the soldiers to capture them. That's a good deal. My place is across the sea from yours. If the Japanese come, I will send someone to Catch him! If he couldn't get it, he killed the two rooted ones, Commander Dai of Mingzhou and Commander Xu of Taicang Wei. He was worse than the commander to catch him, stabbed the young Japanese in the mouth, and castrated it. The sea is also clean."
