Chapter 852: The Wokou is going to be unlucky

Sure enough, many thieves who couldn't stand the offensive in their hearts began to confess, and they told the Ming army about the crimes they had committed like pouring beans from a bamboo tube.

There are many people who confess their sins, and the thieves who are lucky don't dare to try to get away with it, because the tree wants to be quiet and the wind doesn't stop, who can be sure that they will not be pulled out of the lotus root?

In an atmosphere where people who do not take the initiative to confess will be labeled as passively resisting censorship, all the thieves are striving to be introspection activists and pacesetters in confession, and the screening work has been completed in a few days.

Da Ming will not raise hundreds of thousands of thieves to consume food in vain while waiting for screening, and organize them to work as coolies while autumn is about to begin.

The construction of ditches, the excavation of rocks, and other work that only required death, these thieves were in full swing in order to get praise.

Because the labor activists in the thieves will be pardoned and given preferential treatment, and those who have bloody cases will also be given lenient treatment, the thieves who have hope will work hard to get the opportunity for leniency with their hard work when they can have two full meals.

The Air Force, a new branch of the armed forces, has been born out of thin air for more than 10 years and has been tempered in previous battles, and this unit has attracted more and more attention.

In the offensive and defensive battle of the Beijing Division, the special forces who fell from the sky in a hot air balloon shocked the enemy and invigorated our army.

Now this new branch of the armed forces, which has matured, has embarked on a new journey, and the air force athletes will immediately set off for the battlefield of the Eastern Expedition.

This was because information from the Wa Kingdom indicated that the Tokugawa shogunate was trying to concentrate its forces to defend the capital Edo Castle.

Shi Changjin and generals such as Yan Yingyuan, Li Guozhu, and Zheng Sen brainstormed a plan, and they were ready to make way and give the daimyo from all over the Wa Kingdom, who were unwilling to submit, a chance to lead troops into Edo to participate in the battle to defend the capital.

The purpose of this plan was to gather the living forces of the Tokugawa shogunate in one fell swoop, so as to achieve the strategic intention that after this war, the Japanese kingdom would never have a major battle to fight again.

Shi Changjin and Li Guozhu won the honor of third-class marquis for their outstanding achievements in the past two years, and Yan Yingyuan and Zheng Sen also became third-class earls.

The armies of the Wa kingdom gathered in Edo, all of whom had a vested interest in loyalty to the Tokugawa shogunate, and they brought not only the bravest samurai but also food and weapons.

Intelligence revealed that there were hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians assembled in Edo, including more than 50,000 armored samurai, and Tokugawa Iemitsu's determination to concentrate his forces in a decisive battle against the invading Ming army under Edo Castle was exposed.

Sun Jiuge and Cheng Shiju had already received the canonization of first-class Ao Xiangbo, they were the commanders of the air force battalion and the pacification officer, and Huang Sheng raised his orders before they set off.

The two pilot-turned-earls solemnly stated that they would complete the task of destroying the enemy to the letter, and they were full of confidence in the new weapons produced by the arsenal.

This new weapon is not worth mentioning, and it is nothing compared with the incendiary bombs and napalm bombs of later generations, and it is just a Molotov cocktail in the early 10s made of fierce fire oil mixed with grease, white phosphorus, and sulfur.

Even so, during the exercise, when the first Molotov cocktail was thrown from the gondola of the hot air balloon to the ground, a sea of fire exploded still made the "God of War" soldiers who were watching excited.

Shi Changjin, together with Li Guozhu, Yan Yingyuan, and Zheng Sen, wrote a strategic plan for the conquest of the Japanese kingdom, and wrote in detail the tactical concept of the Battle of Edo and handed it over to the Commander-in-Chief's Painting Department for decision.

Because the completion of such a tactic was too murderous and contrary to the consistent style of the Zhongxing Emperor to convince people with virtue, the Praise Painting Department did not dare to be proficient, and handed over this battle plan, which might kill hundreds of thousands of Japanese people in one fell swoop, to the Son of Heaven for decision.

Who knew that Emperor Zhongxing, who had always focused on killing less, actually adopted this inhumane tactic, and asked the Quartermaster Department to meet the needs of the Air Force with as many Molotov cocktails as possible, and asked the air raid to be arranged as much as possible on September 18, the 17th year of Chongzhen.

Of course, the tactics approved by the emperor will be refined, and a more detailed plan will be released, and the mystery will be solved at the end of September as the final effect will be.

Now Huang Sheng is spending his energy on internal affairs, and if he takes the Ming Dynasty, he must be responsible for tens of millions of people, and it is urgent to rebuild their homes and resume production.

"Nanming" was originally full of soldiers and food, rich and land, and a large-scale war of annihilation took the Ming Dynasty, where the rich people in the north were relatively concentrated, and of course it was the most cost-effective deal.

This is thanks to the monetary system of this era, wealth exists in the form of precious metals, even if these things are burned, the value is still there, Huang Sheng alone relies on the captured precious metals to cover military expenditures, and the cost of resettlement of ordinary people and surrendered thieves has also been settled.

All the seizures and return to the public have been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and all the Ming soldiers under the command of Emperor Zhongxing know that this is the minimum military discipline.

Practice has proved that the ideological consciousness of the new generation of young intellectuals is even higher, and there are very few cases of private possession of property discovered by the magistrates.

This is also because the "God of War" soldiers are not only highly paid but also have a great future, and they are expelled from the army for the sake of the petty profits in front of them, not only will their lives be ruined, but they will also cause disaster to the family, and the cost of committing crimes is too great.

According to statistics, the precious metals seized by the siege and thieves this time were more than 70 million taels of silver, and the stocks seized were also worth 30 or 40 million silver coins.

Since the thieves have looted the wealth of the entire capital, Huang Sheng will certainly not let them return to their original owners, and so far no bitter master who has been tortured by the thieves has come to the army to ask for the wealth that his family has been tortured by the thieves.

Of course, some people can't get good results when they ask for it, they are tortured by the pseudo "Dashun" in the name of the government, and the lost wealth has become the pseudo "Dashun" state funds, and the new Ming Empire has not investigated their evil deeds of the enemy is already an extrajudicial favor.

Besides, by this time, the wealth has become the treasury of the Ming Dynasty, who dares to reach out to the treasury to ask for private money?

Is this different from looking for death? Therefore, there was not a single fool, and the money was naturally used for military salaries, resettlement money, and construction funds for water conservancy facilities and roads.

Huang Sheng did the best for the people, he did not have the thinking of a miser, and he has been investing in the Ming Dynasty for 20 years, and he has been constantly investing, and he has naturally achieved fruitful results.

The reward for giving love to the people is support and support, and the return for investing in the land is that the rice warehouse is full, so that the people can have a full stomach and surplus grain.

A large amount of money and grain was invested in army building, and the reward was that the Xiyi, Jiannu, Wako, Tartar, and Liukou were beaten to the point that they were either destroyed or turned into frightened birds.

After solving the civil war, there is no doubt that the national strength of the Ming Empire will rise, and the more national funds will increase, the scale of investment will be increased, especially the construction of the navy, and it is not far from embracing the world to have the sea.
