Chapter 608: The Rising Wind (Page 1/1)
As soon as the soldiers of Vladivostok appeared, they immediately silenced the troublemakers. The battle that day made a reputation, especially the Hezhe people who were armed with swords, and everyone was covered in blood.
When they appeared with swords in hand, they immediately sent chills down the backs of the troublemakers.
Luzhle came to the troublemaker with a horse chopping knife in his hand, lifted his mask and stared at the person in front of him, and said, "Are you making trouble in Vladivostok?" ”
"Nope! Absolutely nothing! We just want to confirm whether it is the head of the Jurchens, and there is absolutely no intention of making trouble! "This thing was immediately shocked.
"Is that clear now?" Lu Rile looked at the person in front of him with unkind eyes, and his voice was even colder.
"Clear! It's all clear! The creature swallowed violently, and the pressure on him was so great that he kept backing away.
"If you don't change your head clearly, where are you going to retreat?" Lu Zhile almost made the thing turn around and run away with a suffrage, and he had to exchange the head with trepidation.
Lu Zhile looked around again and said to everyone present: "Anyone who dares to make trouble in Vladivostok will be fined three months of work in the coal mines, or directly beheaded." ”
After speaking, he pointed to a string of heads hanging on a tree and said: "Those who have killed good people and made meritorious deeds will be beheaded, and Vladivostok has silver dollars, as long as you dare to work hard, everyone can get rich!" ”
After the Vladivostok soldiers left, many people looked at Kuchgil and their minds became lively. Killing the Jurchens is a price, and the women and children must be easier to start. So......
More and more people with ideas have moved, and they have packed their bags and marched in the direction of Jianzhou.
They were unable to deal with the well-dressed Jurchen armor soldiers, but there was no problem at all in sneaking up and killing a few women and children.
Soon the Jurchens' Jianzhou beacon smoke was everywhere, and their most stable rear was tossed by various departments in the East China Sea.
The Jurchen armor soldiers, who were already small, began to be exhausted, and they had to walk several places in another day. Each time they returned in vain, occasionally robbing and killing a few daring natives of the East China Sea, but the Jurchens killed by them could never survive again.
Some large tribes even united to attack the tunpu in Jianzhou, often breaking through some unguarded tunbao and slaughtering the Jurchens inside.
The attacks of these people made the Jurchens miserable, and more and more Jurchens began to pour into Jianzhou City. They don't want to stay outside the dangerous city in fear, even if it's crowded, it's better than losing their lives outside the city.
When Nurhachi heard the news, he immediately fell ill in bed. Jianzhou is his root, but now he is tossed by the natives of the East China Sea who he looks down on to the current state, and he will immediately send all the Eight Banners to level Vladivostok.
But at this moment, a letter from Huang Taiji calmed down Nurhachi, and the letter said that the Ming Dynasty had accelerated the speed of building the city outside the pass, and there had been a big move recently. Fuzhou's Changxing army also suddenly launched an offensive, and his men and horses were firmly pinned down in Fuzhou and could not move.
Nurhachi also calmed down, and he flipped the medicine bowl that had been brought to his mouth to the ground. Two terrifying cold lights shot out of his eyes, and he said gloomily: "The natives of the East China Sea! I'm going to kill all these savages! ”
……
Tokugawa Iemitsu was also lying on the hospital bed moaning, his head tied with a white cloth belt, and he was lying on the floor with a pale face to rest.
After Iwami Ginzan was attacked and destroyed by pirates, Tokugawa Iemitsu fell ill all at once. It was the biggest source of wealth for the shogunate, and without Iwami Ginzan, the shogunate would give money to its samurai, build warships, and cast artillery......
Without Iwami Ginzan, the shogunate went to half a life. Tokugawa Iemitsu had no other way than to send people to intensify the excavation.
Even if he sent someone to dig through the silver mountain again, it was inevitable that the pirates would attack again, and if he had to give Iwami silver mountain another blow, the shogunate would be completely in a desperate situation at that time.
Tokugawa Iemitsu has been thinking about it for a long time these days, but he really can't think of any way to defend against pirates. With the kind of tall splints, pirates could land anywhere on the island.
Although there were many samurai in the Wa Kingdom, they were also invincible. Even if the forces are scattered, it is easy to be defeated by each other, so the only way to do this is to raid Jeju Island.
Even if you can't annihilate the pirates, you have to deal a heavy blow to them. It is better to rush somewhere else, so that such a group of pirates will remember that the Tokugawa family will not be able to sleep peacefully.
And in Samosa, his uncle Tokugawa Tadanaga, actually declared Jiuzhou Island a free trade zone. Merchants from all over the world were welcome to come and trade, and he could not bear the result that he had worked hard to enforce his father's ban on the sea for a few years, and that it would be abolished.
There is a heart army to attack Kyushu Island, but what if the pirates take advantage of the situation to attack Edo again? In the end, it is all about dealing with the pirates first, otherwise everything is empty talk.
Tokugawa Iemitsu asked the Admiral about the construction of the plywood battleship, but he was very dissatisfied with the results.
Ten Galen ships at the Yokosuka shipyard would not be launched until June, and ten battleships built elsewhere would have to wait until October.
Although the ten warships purchased have been sent to the Japanese state, the training of the navy is also very troublesome, and the Dutch seem to be deliberately hiding their secrets, and are not willing to teach them the skills of naval warfare.
The casting of the artillery also did not go well, and it was difficult to imitate the Dutch artillery. The yield rate is not 1 in 10, and even so, the cast cannon is still easy to blow up, and the charge must be reduced before it can be used.
And Iwami's loss of Ginzan made it impossible for the shogunate to spend too much money to buy artillery, and the shogunate suddenly fell into an embarrassing situation.
Tokugawa Iemitsu, who was lying on the collapse, looked deep, and a fierce look appeared on his emaciated face.
He suddenly got up and startled the maid who was serving beside him. Hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed, not daring to look at the general.
"Heirlooms!" Tokugawa Iemitsu said coldly.
Soon the shogunate issued a borrowing order, and the shogunate borrowed money from all the merchants of the Wa Kingdom. Each merchant had to voluntarily lend half of his value to the shogunate as money to eliminate pirates, which could be used to offset the annual deduction of taxes. If you don't take money voluntarily, your fellow pirates will immediately exterminate your family.
The Ming Dynasty must unconditionally support the shogunate, otherwise it will be a rebellion, and the family will immediately send troops to fight.
Although this loan order allowed the shogunate to get the money quickly, it also laid a hidden danger for the shogunate. Tokugawa Iemitsu wasn't unaware of the dangers of doing this, but he couldn't wait.
If you wait any longer, the shogunate will be tossed to death by pirates, so it is better to give it a go while there is still a certain amount of strength.
His order was quickly conveyed, and the entire Wa kingdom was in chaos at once. None of the merchants were willing to give away the family business they had worked hard for many years, but the samurai sent by the shogunate would not be relentless.
Suddenly, the whole country of Wa was slaughtered, and the samurai who went to carry out the execution also had to get some benefits, and many merchants were ruined. A wind of Japanese attacks on merchants is blowing throughout the country!
The only place where the loan order was not enforced was on Kyushu Island, where the shogun simply ignored Tokugawa Iemitsu in Edo.
For a time, the merchants of the Japanese kingdom began to concentrate on Jiuzhou Island.
