Bai Mu Xingjiu angrily threw the family heirloom knife in his hand on the ground, and picked up the saber that the guard threw on the ground by the light of the flames, but he was quite surprised as soon as he got his hands on this knife!

The so-called connoisseurs will know if there is one as soon as they stretch out their hands. From the shape, size, and weight of this saber, Shiraki knew that the material of this knife could not be wrong. Otherwise, there would not be such a Miao knife similar to the Japanese knife with such a heavy weight!

Sure enough, intersecting with the blades of the remnant guards, Bai Mu Xingjiu was pleasantly surprised to find that some of the guards of this Yusupu were actually equipped with the legendary Iron Steel Treasure Knife. And the one he himself picked up from the ground was a fine iron steel knife!

It's just that Rao is sword in his hand, but he can't catch up with Yu Supu's footsteps of escape, seeing the faintly visible white horse, it disappeared into the night in a blink of an eye, and as the last wisp of the white horse passed away on the retina, I couldn't help but feel like Bai Mu Xingjiu had lost the love of his life, and he felt like he had been drained of all his energy. Despair, frustration, frustration, resentment, and many other negative emotions come to my heart.

"Damn it! Why don't I run faster! Why do you have to entangle with those lowly inferior people! ”

"The opportunity to make a great contribution was lost!"

muttering curses and curses in his mouth, Shiraki Xingjiu looked at everything around him and felt so unpleasant, the prisoners were not pleasing to the eye, the captured knives, guns, and instruments and ceremonial equipment were not pleasing to the eye, and the huge luan yu was not pleasing to the eye, even the Kumamoto villagers who were laughing loudly on the battlefield and discussing each other's results were also very unpleasant.

The reason is simple, he didn't catch Yu Supu! According to the reward promised by Wu Liuqi, if he captures the Sultan of Yusupu alive, the soldiers of the entire Kumaben camp can be naturalized in Nanzhong, and from then on they will become the lord of Nanzhong. In this fertile land. Occupy a huge piece of land that can be passed on to future generations according to military exploits! And he, Shiraki Xingjiu, can directly join the Nanyue Army and become a lord of the Celestial Empire who can directly look at the shogun!

As a descendant of a retainer who has served the daimyo for generations, the Shiraki Yukihisa family has also achieved the level of a 600-stone general, and it is naturally a family history. Those who have read some books on Sinology. He had heard that in the most chaotic and brilliant Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period in the history of the Celestial Empire, the Qin State, which rose to the western frontier, used the twentieth-level military merit title system to create a tiger and wolf army that swept through the six kingdoms of Shandong. The whole country is happy when they hear about the war, because if they cut off one of the enemy's heads, they will gain first-class gains, and the difference in treatment between military merits at all levels can be said to be clear. It is precisely because of such different treatment that those soldiers of the Qin army will cut off the heads of the enemy with their waists tied around their waists, and the image of prisoners under their ribs, as if they were fighting bravely. It was left in the works of Sima Gonggong.

Now, in the eyes of Shiraki Xingjiu and others, the Nanyue Army's naturalization system for mercenaries in various ministries is that the masters of the Celestial Empire have opened a way for them to seek progress. As long as you are willing to die for General Li and cut off the enemy's head for him, he will give you a generous reward.

These bounties were undoubtedly enormous and rich, ranging from white rice to yellow and clear treasures, from the beautiful floral cloths and silks that women loved to the exquisite and sturdy weapons and armor that samurai loved. Each of them is a life-changing product.

However, in the eyes of these mercenaries in Shiraki Xingjiu. The most valuable reward was a notice of naturalization. After many years of business and trade exchanges with Nanzhong, political, economic and military contacts, there have been many people in the country who have lived in Nanzhong for a long time through various channels, or officially become the masters of the Ming Kingdom, and have a decent career. There is also a lucrative industry, enjoying a worry-free life of food and clothing. The power of example is infinite, and in the hearts of mercenaries, the rewards of money, food, and silk are far less important and glorious than a naturalization notice!

Once naturalized. With an identity, those money, food, and belongings, relying on their own skills, are all things at your fingertips! This is why those mercenaries know that they are cannon fodder, but they also pounce forward against the impermeable projectiles in front of them.

(Actually, this kind of means of changing fate overnight and carp jumping over the dragon gate is not only carried out by Li Shouhan's Nanyue Army, please cast your eyes to the northeast corner of the East Asian continent.) There, Huang Taiji also used the means of wantonly compiling the Han army flag and carrying the coat flag to stimulate morale and inspire people.

As for the Central Plains, which was the first to invent this means of changing personal destiny, it has long since abolished this military merit system, and there has been a vengeful backlash against the evil consequences accumulated over the years by the nobles and the lowly military. The generals everywhere have no skills to resist the enemy, but they have a few tricks to disturb the people. And the soldiers are everywhere, no matter what kind of governor or prime minister you are, we Lao Tzu saw that you were awkward, so he just left you and ran away!

This kind of system of ascending to Tianzitang for Tian Shelang only has some remnants in the imperial examination, but those who skip the dragon gate are no longer heroes who can go into battle to kill the enemy, but a group of Fan Jin. ）

Thinking about the happiness that was almost within reach, but now flying as far away as the white crane, Bai Mu Xingjiu couldn't help but feel no good mood at all, and he was angry with his subordinates, scolding all kinds of swear words in his mouth, and even kicking those captured Muhammad soldiers. Several times, I had the urge to pull out my sword and kill all these captives, but if it weren't for these captives, the military exploits of the Kumamoto villagers would be even less! He had to suppress the evil fire in his heart, and only punched and kicked those captives!

"Enough! You're a turnip head! If they are broken, Lao Tzu has to arrange for Lang Zhong to treat them! ”

Looking at Bai Mu Xingjiu, who waved the scabbard in his hand and kept beating those captives, Wu Liuqi, who rushed from the rear to inspect the battlefield and check the results of the battle, cursed in his heart.

Cursing in his heart, Wu Liuqi still appreciates Bai Mu Xingjiu's exploits. He and the Kumamoto soldiers he led, just like the tip of a sharp knife, directly pierced into the core of those rebels, stabbed into Yusupu's main formation, and turned this army's formation upside down, making him lose the courage to command the battle. From this point of view, Shiraki Yukihisa played really well!

"You don't put on a dead face there to show me Lao Tzu! Didn't you just catch Yu Supu's thief? If you can run, the monk can't run the temple! As long as he is in Java for a day, there will be a chance to catch him! ”

reprimanded Shiraki for a few long days, and suddenly made the leader of the Kumamoto soldiers his eyes shine.

"A good errand for you! Clean up. Take your men, hold this sedan chair, and these people around Yusupu, and go to Batavia City to report the victory! The horses will reward you! He scolded and told Bai Mu Xingjiu that although he didn't catch Yu Supu this time, he captured his Luanyu. It was also a big blow to the rebels, and the rewards promised remained unchanged.

Therefore, Bai Mu Xingjiu led the remaining team of less than 300 people under his command, escorted the Luan Yu of the Sultan of Yusupu, and sent this largest trophy to the city of Batavia, facing the eyes of Zheng Sen's uncle and nephew.

After listening to Bai Mu Xing's long-winded talk about all this, Zheng Sen was also secretly happy in his heart.

"Ruodian, this is a letter sent by General Wu to the villain, please look at Ruodian!" Seeing Zheng Sen's complexion, he was relieved of joy. Bai Mu Xingjiu naturally knew that the second horse of the Nanyue Army in front of him was relatively satisfied with the results, and if he didn't make a sycophant at this time, when would he stay? Hurriedly took out a letter sealed with fire paint from the leather bag he carried, held it with both hands, and handed it to Zheng Sen respectfully.

The letter was written by Wu Liuqi, and it was about the battlefield situation, so it was naturally read carefully by Zheng Sen in his hand. Zheng Zhibao on the side began to plan for the situation on Java Island after this war, and how to deploy manpower. How to turn villages and towns into iron buckets under the rule of the Southern Yue Army. I was bored for a while, so I chatted with the white wood for a long time.

The children of the Zheng family have a talent for language, not to mention that Zheng Zhibao and Zheng Sen have both lived in the Wa Kingdom, and Zheng Sen is half of the Wa blood, and when it comes to Dongying, it is no different from the hometown dialect.

"Your surname is Shiraki? Under which feudal lord did you work before? ”

"My lord! That was before! The villain has some credit for fighting. In order to encourage the villain, General Wu not only announced that the villain and these fellow villagers could join the Heavenly Empire and become the people of the lord's car, but also changed the villain's surname! ”

"Oh?! General Wu changed your surname? What's the last name? What should I call you? ”

"The villain's surname is white! It is called for a long time! ”

It turned out that Wu Liuqi just changed the white wood of Bai Mu Xingjiu to white, but he used this extremely lazy method to exchange for the death power of this group of bears' local buns. Zheng Zhibao didn't laugh out loud. His eyes rolled slightly, and an idea popped up.

"Now that this group of thieves is gone, and the island of Java is about to be pacified, this group of Japanese slaves can be of great use." After making up his mind at the moment, he slowly asked Bai Xingjiu.

"Bai Xingjiu, since General Wu gave you a name and surname, then this official will be the icing on the cake, how about giving you a word?"

Bai Xingjiu naturally knew how much good such glory and the incense karma that came from giving him a word, and he was so happy that he almost knelt down and licked Zheng Zhibao's boots with joy at the moment!

"Thank you, sir! Thank you, sir! ”

"General Bai, your real surname is Bai Mu, your name has been for a long time, although the wooden character has been hidden by General Wu, but you must not forget the fundamentals. In this way, the official will give you a word, how about Yan Song? The pine trees on the rocks are exactly the same as the artistic conception of your real name Shiraki Xingjiu, what does the general think? ”

"Bai Xingjiu, the word rock pine, rock pine, rock pine. Thank you for your name! ”

"The fifth uncle gave you a word, and the official naturally can't let you go back empty-handed. Come! Zheng Sen motioned to the soldiers who were waiting on the side to take a sword.

"This is my father's sword style in accordance with the Japanese sword, and invited master craftsmen to use iron and steel to make the best sharp weapon, since you were born in the Japanese country, you want to use the Japanese sword normally. The official will give you this turmoil, and you will have to be good to contribute to the Lord! ”

Within one day, Wu Liuqi, who had changed from the leader of the mercenaries to the lord of the Heavenly Empire, and was also known as the iron beggar, was given a name, and was given a name by Zheng Zhibao, who was in charge of the Fuken Bureau, and was also rewarded with a treasure knife by Lord Junma.

Bai Xingjiu, who was full of gratitude in his mouth, proudly took the same proud Kumamoto villagers, lined up in a neat line to escort Yusupu's Luanyu sedan chairmen to the Military and Political Department to report their merits, and at the same time reported the names and military exploits of the fallen soldiers in detail to ask them for pensions. According to the reward standard that Zheng Sen issued to them just now, although these fallen soldiers themselves died, their military exploits can also be inherited by their families. However, the heirs can only be his parents, wives and children. Neither brother. However, what Zheng Sen didn't expect was that the so-called policies and countermeasures are not only a specialty of China. In the face of the temptation of huge material interests, this pension condition is tantamount to opening a shortcut for many people to quickly become the people of Nanzhong.

Soon. In front of the homes of the fallen soldiers who were so poor that they were only in debt, groups of relatives came to confess their relatives. As long as you are willing to include my son and daughter in your family register and become the children of the man who has ascended to heaven as a god, then I will be responsible for paying off the debts owed by your family. In addition, you can also cover part of the cost of living in Nanchu.

In many places, in order to recognize the dead ghost as a father, a business has also begun to appear, and a large number of scalpers and brokers have appeared. Thereupon. Under the temptation of Huang Chengcheng's Tongbao and Bai Huahua's rice, many mercenaries who were only in their twenties and thirties when they died in battle suddenly had sons and daughters in their seven, eight, or even ten years. What's more, buy one get one free, and use his wife and concubine, who are several months pregnant, as the dead ghost wife who has been away from home for nearly a year.

I won't repeat all kinds of chaos.

We turned around and continued to focus on Uncle Zheng Sen's nephew.

"Da Mu, what did Wu Liuqi say in this letter?"

Back in Batavia, the battle was progressing smoothly. couldn't help but make Zheng Zhibao relax a lot. Place your entire body on a Western-style rocking chair and follow the undulations of the rocking chair. The whole body stretches out.

"Fifth uncle, Wu Liuqi's opinion is that he has gone straight into the hinterland of the enemy in the past few days, and the newly recovered area will have to bother his uncle's men and horses!"

Hearing Zheng Sen say this, Zheng Zhibao couldn't help but rise up decisively, "What? ”

Wu Liuqi's strategy. It was to press the army to the royal city of Yusupu, but it was besieged but not attacked, putting great pressure on the Sultan of Yusupu. The vast area from Wangcheng to Batavia City was handed over to Zheng Zhibao's Reclamation Bureau, and the original clans, clans, and blood relations were quickly disrupted one by one, and villages and towns were re-established.

While this work is progressing. Zheng Sen had to supervise the rest of the troops to thoroughly wipe out the remnants of the small bandits that were wandering around.

"Fifth uncle, Wu Liuqi has done a very good job of setting fire to the wasteland! How to open up the wasteland and how to cultivate intensively will depend on your fifth uncle! Whether or not this wasteland of Java can be turned into a fertile land under the lord depends on the fifth uncle! ”

handed Wu Liuqi's letter to the fifth uncle Zheng Zhibao, and Zheng Sen said thoughtfully.

So, the uncle and nephew discussed behind closed doors, carefully planning how to turn this wasteland into fertile land, the various steps of the process, the manpower, and material resources required, and those links that needed to be submitted to Li Shouhan for approval.

The next day, in the square of the former Governor's Palace, more than 1,000 capable officers of the Reclamation Bureau gathered here, ready to listen to the instructions of the Lord of the Council and the two of them.

"Ladies and gentlemen, in yesterday's battle, General Wu had already defeated the large and small bandits of Yusupu and the bandits attached to him, and at this moment he was already under the city of Yusupu. It is the time of siege without attack, which just gives you an opportunity to display your talents! ”

The good news of the front was simply conveyed to the more than 1,000 people present, and suddenly the square resounded with a buzzing discussion.

"My lord, there were rumors in the city yesterday that they captured Yu Supu alive, but why didn't they capture him alive?"

Zheng Sen said with a smile: "You don't have to regret it, this Yu Supu is our intention to let him escape, everyone, please see, the deployment of our army, the siege of three is missing, leaving a passage between him and the Calvinist bandits, if you want to run, you can only run to the Calvinist territory, they are intolerable, we just need to wait for a few days, maybe these two families will attack each other, and then we can clean up the mess." ”

It turns out that adults are playing a trick to drive away tigers and wolves! When the two of them are exhausted from fighting, our Nanyue army is the Bian Zhuang who pierces the tiger, and a sword can kill them!

At present, tremendous results have been achieved in the crackdown, but the criterion for judging the success of the suppression of bandits and rebellion is whether the area has been purified, whether a strong grassroots political power has been established, and various legal systems have been implemented. Past experience has proved that after each large-scale crackdown on bandits, large and small scattered bandits and rebels will flee to the depths of the dense forest and hide among the people by virtue of their familiarity with the terrain. Therefore, it takes a long time to purify the area.

"This official has given this process a name, it's called Garrison! The General Staff Office has divided the newly recovered areas from the front line to the original border according to administrative regions, and all prefectures, counties, towns, and villages, you good hands of the Reclamation Bureau, will take your troops down and stationed them in your own jurisdiction, and they will be divided into sections to eliminate scattered bandits. At the same time, build up the yamen for Lao Tzu, and establish the prestige of our lord and our Nanyue army! Last night, the official had already written to the lord overnight, asking him to quickly mobilize teachers to establish hundreds of primary schools in Java to promote the teachings of the saints. You have memorized for me that you must be diligent in three ways: walking more with your legs, more propaganda with your mouth, and more work with your hands to help the people who have been plagued by traitors! Eat with them, sleep together, work together. Let the people of your jurisdiction know who they should follow! ”

Zheng Zhibao's speaking style is familiar to these capable members of the Reclamation Bureau, and suddenly a light laugh came out of the team, and someone discussed in a low voice, "This sleeps together, if you don't pay attention to the wrong bed, what can you do?" ”

"It's okay! How did our eldest son do it in Taiwan? If you get married, you'll go home! It's a big deal that the public will give you a bride price! Zheng Sen is young, his ears and hearing are very good, and when he heard the jokes, he immediately replied jokingly.

The crowd erupted in laughter.

"Catch all the bandits, dig up all the bandits, and shoot all the bandits!" This is the slogan that came out of the villages, towns, and county governments after the start of the garrison.

As a result, Yu Supu, who was worried almost overnight in the royal city, felt even more pressure. There are constantly meticulous works risking life and death, crossing the blockade to find out the news outside:

In less than 10 days, the Reclamation Bureau set up dozens of town-level political power in the area under the jurisdiction of the former Yusupu Sultan in the selection of key points and transportation arteries, and then established village-level political power downward and county-level political power upward. Subsequently, relevant institutions and schools at all levels have also selected sites for construction.

What's even worse is that a registration office has been set up in the town office, so that those cornered bandits who have been chased down can go here to register and surrender themselves, and moreover, those who are coerced do not ask, and those who have made meritorious contributions will be rewarded. In just a few days, more than 1,000 people went to these registration offices to register and surrender, turned around and led the team to the nest where they had been hiding to carry out strangulation activities.

"Your Majesty, there have already been more than a dozen leaders who have surrendered to Wu Liuqi with their teams." Massoud, the prime minister of Yusup Sultan, also told him about the recent military situation with a sad face.

While the two kings and ministers were sitting in the city in this messy eye, suddenly an attendant came to report that the messenger of the Calvinist militia asked to see him! (To be continued......)
