Chapter 881: The Heavenly Cannon Sitting on the Crater

Zhang Qiang and they faced a headache of nearly 10 million Japanese people everywhere and more and more people in Southeast Asia, trying to find a way, how to reduce them, the third prince Hong Tianpao also had a headache here His soldiers were fighting more and more, and at this time, Hong Tianpao also noticed that there were more and more Japanese people in his territory, which was 50 percent before, and now it is 75 percent.

The rest were 20 percent of the people of Southeast Asia, while only 5 percent were Han Chinese, and Hong Tiancan, a traditional Han Chinese, could sense the danger, and he convened his ministers more than once to discuss the issue.

Now the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty are still Han Chinese, but some military generals have appeared Japanese, Southeast Asians, although they are still middle-level military general groups, but there are more and more Japanese soldiers in the army, and there are more and more Southeast Asian military generals.

Compared with the single ethnic group of Japan, Southeast Asia is much more complicated, with Annamite people, Lao people, Donghu Dynasty people, Indonesian aborigines, Luzon natives, Cambodian natives, as well as indigenous people from unknown tribes, and even Australian aborigines, as well as mixed-race Westerners who were collected and sold to Southeast Asia by Spain from all over the world.

The threat of these people is not big, but they cannot be used as their own help, once the Japanese want to rebel, they will become a burden, which makes Hong Tiancang very uncomfortable.

50,000 Han soldiers and horses are not enough, 100,000 is a bit difficult, and 150,000 is the limit, because there are not so many Han people.

He now only has 70,000 soldiers and horses, 50,000 are stationed in various parts of the Ryukyu Kingdom, 20,000 are assigned to serve as senior commanders in various servant armies, and only 20,000 soldiers and horses are going to suppress the current nearly 600,000 servant troops.

Among the civil and military officials he gathered, there were also his brothers, the second prince Hong Hongxiu and the little prince, Zhang Qiang didn't want to do it, so he handed over the second prince and the little prince to Hong Tianpao for disposal, and Hong Tiancang had no reason to kill his second brother, although the two people had been eager to send someone to kill each other in order to compete for the throne, but once the second prince was down, Hong Tiancang still didn't kill him ruthlessly.

The second prince has always been under house arrest by the third prince, the little prince holds some idle positions, responsible for handling some civil affairs for him, Hong Tianpao is not afraid that they will turn against him, the soldiers and horses of both of them have been exterminated, and the rest have also been absorbed by Zheng Zhi, that is, a light pole, except for a little influence of the Hong family, they do not have any capital to fight with themselves, not to mention that Hong Tiancang also holds the family of two people in his hands, as well as the family of the dead eldest prince.

The second prince and the little prince also knew that they could survive thanks to the third prince, so they didn't cry, didn't make trouble, and were their own rich men with peace of mind.

However, the identities of the two people are too sensitive, and they have not dared to speak or speak, so as not to be suspicious.

Hong Tianpao really had no choice, "Second brother, is there any way to change the current situation?" ”

Hong Hongxiu looked at him, a little embarrassed, Hong Tianpao thought about ghosts, and immediately guessed his second brother's thoughts, everyone is the king, some things are the same, and immediately said: "It's okay, second brother, you say, I won't blame you." ”

Hong Hongxiu looked at Hong Tiancang's eyes and saw that he didn't look like he was lying, he was very sincere, so he said: "It's not difficult to solve, I can solve our dilemma with the following points, the easiest thing is to let people go to Nanyang with money to recruit Han people, where the Han people were tortured by Zheng Zhi and the natives, as well as the Spaniards, the two sides fought countless times, and the entire Luzon Island was broken."

The Spaniards have strong ships and artillery, elite soldiers and horses, Zheng Zhi and their many people are powerful, but they have to deal with two sides, one side is the Spaniards, the other side is the local natives, and they are not good at weapons and equipment, we have the Huaxia Army where to buy the new weapons, exchange our weapons for them, give them some money, let them even some Han people to us, those who fled to Southeast Asia Han people or Han blood natives are also OK, we don't need pure Han people like the Huaxia Kingdom, we just need Han people. ”

Hong Tiancang knocked on the armrest of the chair and bowed his head slightly, "This is, there are many Han descendants in Nanyang, as well as the Han people of the Ming and Qing dynasties who fled to the Ming Dynasty, although there are tens of thousands of Han people or more Han people, hundreds of thousands of Han people, so that the population of the territory we occupy will increase." ”

He raised his head and asked again, "Then second brother, what else?" ”

Hong Hongxiu touched the gray beard on her chin, "This is the second, you have a good relationship with the Huaxia Kingdom, the Huaxia Kingdom has just conquered Shaanxi, Gansu Prefecture and Shanxi Prefecture, there are many prisoners, just buy them, there are many of those captives, and they are all Han Chinese, even if they are Mongols and Manchus, these people always trust us more than the Japanese."

In addition, you can buy some prisoners who are soldiers, so that the third brother you are gracious, give them a change of clothes, give them new guns, and organize some family members to manage them, then the Han team has increased a lot, I estimate that now the Huaxia army is taking too many prisoners for them, and now the Huaxia Kingdom has occupied most of the Ming land, and there is no place to use these prisoners, let's just solve some for them, and it seems that the third brother you are friendly with them. ”

"Is this the third?" Hong Hongxiu hesitated.

"What's the matter, second brother, but it's okay to say it, no matter what the second brother says today, Brother Wang, I will pardon the second brother, you are not guilty." Hong Tiancang said eagerly.

Hong Hongxiu touched the beard on her chin and said, "Third brother, you are on fire." ”

"Presumptuous," the four guards standing beside Hong Tianpao, who were also his four most loyal family members, and his henchman master, drank together.

Hong Hongxiu immediately stood up and knelt in front of Hong Tianpao in fear, "Please forgive Your Highness, Weichen deserves death." ”

Hong Tianpao stood up and took two steps closely, "Second brother, what are you talking about, I said that I forgave you for your innocence today, but it doesn't hurt to say it." ”

After speaking, he turned his head and shouted angrily at several guards and masters: "This is my second brother, your master, is there such a thing as you treat your master?" Next time, I'll go to the punishment camp by myself. ”

The Kingdom of China has a punishment camp, and there has always been a continuation of the Lu Kingdom to learn the tradition of the Kingdom of China, the Ryukyu Kingdom, Hong Chengchou's sons actually also established a punishment camp, which is also dedicated to the detention of criminals and prisoners of war, and there are also hard labor camps, those who are degraded, hated characters are sent to the hard labor camp, the hard labor camp is not a good place, it is a frightening place.

However, of course, Hong Tianpao was not stupid enough to send his most loyal guards to the hard labor camp, he just gave his second brother a step down.

If the second prince and their ruthless emperors are killed, the person who can endanger his throne will definitely not live in the world, but Hong Tiancang still gave Hong Hongxiu and them a chance to live, which can be regarded as brothers.

But how to say that this danger still exists, beating is wanted, but it is impossible for him to kill one party, on one side is a loyal henchman, on the other hand is a brother, the best way is to beat while scolding without pain.

"Second brother ignore them and sit down and talk carefully, since the eldest brother and father left, I will leave you and me to depend on each other, this old saying is good, go into battle father and son soldiers, fight tiger brothers, second brother, you must help me."
