Chapter 156: Carpet Intimidation-2

Kimura Shigenari was really a little difficult to deal with, so he took the opponent's city.

But now De Corning will definitely not take the initiative to answer the doubts in his heart. In Kangning's heart, he actually knew very well that Kimura Shigenari did not come here this time to take the island completely.

Although Awaji Island is geographically important and involves a cooperative relationship between Toyotomi Hideyori and the Huanglin Group, it is only an island after all. Under the Reiji system, the Awaji Province composed of Awaji Island belongs to the lowest of the four levels, that is, his overall strength is not as prominent as its strategic location.

In order to take the island, it was not necessary for Toyotomi Hideyori to touch all his subordinates and send his closest subordinate to Kimura Shigenari.

But Kimura Shigetari just appeared in front of Corning's eyes, what does this prove? Prove that he came here for other purposes. For example, to see if Corning's strength is as extraordinary as Mr. Huang said.

Since they wanted to know what they were capable of, Corning simply showed them what they were capable of. This time was a good opportunity, so of course, Corning would not take the initiative to ask Kimura Shigenari to answer his doubts.

Originally, this guy came here with eyes and ears. If he has to tell him something clearly, he may not be able to gain his trust. Let him see and hear for himself, doesn't he even believe his own eyes and ears?

People, even if they are suspicious, will not be suspicious to that extent!

In the days that followed, Kimura Shigeshi said nothing, just quietly observing Corning's every move. During this time, no matter what Corning asked, he complied with them.

Even if he asked the Japanese samurai to move out of their barracks and let the refugees move in. Kimura Shigenari also forcibly suppressed the opinions of his subordinates. They were ordered to do what Mr. Kang wanted.

The living conditions of the refugees have finally improved qualitatively. Although the simplicity of the barracks is not even as good as the low houses they have in the Central Plains, there is indeed a qualitative difference between having and not having them.

As for their food, it was always on the ship, or with them. That's what they'll give them when they're on the road, and if it weren't for the food, they wouldn't have accepted Corning's arrangement to follow Mr. Huang here.

This grain is a strong proof that when this grain is distributed. The members of the escort team who carried out the work always put on a dismissive look, which made the refugees feel that the food was certainly not worth mentioning in their eyes. So they firmly believed that the Huanglin Group must have a lot of grain in their hands. Follow them overseas and you won't go hungry.

In fact, the real situation is quite the opposite. The Huanglin Group may really have a lot of grain in its hands. But those are from the future world 400 years from now, or for Corning and others, the homeland of the time-traveler.

It already belongs to the category of time and space trade, and has no direct relationship with the local production capacity, in fact, under Mr. Huang's hands. There weren't even many decent construction sites, so how could it be what they imagined?

Reasons for the lack of arable land. It is not that there is not enough force to occupy a wider land, but that there is a lack of good enough peasants to reclaim it, so there is a group of immigrants.

The refugees who migrated here are largely ignorant of this. Even Corning only felt something ambiguous, not aware of the overall layout of the plan, and with the level of trust he was able to gain now, it was not enough to guide a more complete plan. If it weren't for the shortage of talent, he wouldn't even have been urgently recruited by Mr. Huang.

Of course, his excellent performance in Shandong is also one of the reasons why he was urgently recruited, and the ability he showed is inherited from Xu Hongru's agricultural development ability, which is currently the most important ability for Mr. Huang.

But if it is up to you to make it clear now that the role he wants to play is just that of a farmer's production manager, then he will not be reconciled, he wants to have an army that he can control, and it has always belonged to his own armed forces, so that he can have a greater say in the Black Clothes Society, but it is obvious that Mr. Huang does not allow him to do this now.

Therefore, he needs to show his military talent even more, whether it is to be able to gain the trust of Toyotomi Hideyori and win an army of his own from him, or to get more recognition from Mr. Huang and be able to control an army openly and honestly, he needs such an army, an army that can be like the regimental training of Qingzhou Mansion.

If you want to achieve this primary goal, this battle, you must fight beautifully.

With Kimura's attention, Corning continued to carry out his plan step by step, without any impatience to speed up his actions or show any signs of emotional instability.

From his own mentality, it is difficult for Kimura Shigenari to make new discoveries, only that he is already a confident person, however, this not only does not alleviate her doubts, but rather aggravates his doubts.

What exactly? Gives this guy such confidence. Thinking about it, Kimura Shigenari couldn't figure out what kind of house he could use if he were him? It seems that there are not many options available!

However, Corning gave him a big surprise.

The surprise came so suddenly that it almost became a fright.

On this day, Kimura Shigenari got up early, and wanted to continue learning from the scriptures according to the original plan, but he didn't expect that before he got out of his tent, he heard a deafening shout outside.

Kimura Shigenari was so frightened that he quickly picked up the weapon in his hand, believing that there was a high probability that a mutiny had occurred, and at this juncture when Tokugawa Ieyasu was about to launch an attack, it was very likely that the samurai, who were not strong-willed, would embark on the path of betrayal.

He had to watch out for that, but when he stepped out of the tent, he was shocked by what he saw.

A large black crowd of heads gathered around a high ground where Corning was roaring hoarsely.

Around him, dozens of loud strongmen gathered around, and they shouted every word that Corning said in the loudest voice like a trumpet.

At the same time, among the refugees who are pressed by the black. There are also those who keep repeating what Corning just said.

Now, Corning is saying, "I know you're here for your apprentices, but I need to tell you that this place isn't for you by hard work alone. You need to cooperate with me in order to gain the right to farm here. Otherwise, it's a matter of going to harder lands. Go and reclaim the wasteland there. Of course, the plague that may occur there is far worse than here, and I think, you are still with me? It is more reliable to take the right to cultivate this land. ”

Corning's words were passed down from one level to the next, and finally to everyone's ears.

Immediately after, the black-pressed crowd fell into a low noise. The reason why they say low is because each of them speaks quietly. They were talking in whispers, but the reason why they were able to form a noise was because there were enough of them, even if they were talking in small voices, the combined effect was deafening enough.

Kimura couldn't hear what they were saying, and he couldn't understand why Corning was doing it. But in the dark, he already felt it. Corning's words have reached everyone's heart. He didn't know why he felt this way, but he was clearly aware that everyone's pulse seemed to be beating with the meaning of Corning's words.

It's a magical power that Kimura has never seen before.

The whispered discussion slowly subsided after almost a quarter of an hour. Then replace it with those who deliver the word to Corning. Reporting upwards what they heard. Important kisses were prioritized, and the general doubts were naturally quantitative, and it didn't take long for Corning to know what most people were concerned about. Thereupon. His voice came from the rammed earth pedestal.

"I know what you're thinking right now? Some of you were members of the White Lotus Sect before, and they were wanted by the imperial court, but you didn't really want to rebel, you were just deceived by others, and now we have escaped from the territory of the Ming Dynasty, although we may not be able to go back in this life, but your children are likely to be able to return to their homeland with me, but this is not the point, you think it will be a few decades later, at least for 20 years, you will not see such a thing. As for the refugees who have been formed by the drought, I can only tell you that there will be abnormal weather in the coming decades on this land, but you can get more land to ensure that you have enough harvest, and at the same time, my backstage boss, Mr. Huang, will also provide you with enough food, because it needs enough manpower to cultivate the land for him. This is what I have brought you for. ”

This time the speech was conveyed one by one, and the quarrel quickly descended into a tumult, but this time, instead of conniving at them, Corning immediately passed the word and kept them quiet.

Kimura Shigenari was a little surprised this time. He doesn't know why you changed his approach, but he can see that what he is going to say next may be more important than just now!

"In the future, we will ensure that everyone has arable land to plant! There will no longer be a dozen strong laborers in the family, but they have to work long hours for the landlord. Because in our country there is no such thing as a landlord. In the entire area controlled by Mr. Huang, there was only one landlord. That's Mr. Huang. He certainly didn't want his tenants to have no land to cultivate. So, even if he will move for you, find a place for you to work. And the grain that you can get is not the one you cultivate, but according to your output, it will be directly distributed to you as if you wanted to settle your wages. This is a very different place from the past, and from now on, you are full-time farmers. However, I want to remind you that the reward given to you by Mr. Huang will probably exceed about two or three percent of the harvest when you have all kinds of landlords' land. You must distinguish clearly. ”

There was another commotion from the sidelines, this time it was obviously much louder than the previous two times, and they were obviously exposed to the actual information. For becoming tenants, many peasants who have lost their land are already psychologically prepared, and there can be no good thing in the world for no reason. So in this regard, they did not show as much resistance and disgust as Kimura Shigetari imagined. Instead, after getting the promise of permanent arable land. A lot of people are starting to get excited, and they're leaving their homes for a piece of land. As for who the land belonged to, most of them were former tenants who simply ignored the small number of yeoman farmers who had just lost their land. First of all, I have already prepared my mind. As for the actual treatment of this person, although there is only a vague statement, saying that it is two or three percent higher than the usual harvest, they firmly believe that Boss Huang, who worked hard to get them here, will definitely not treat them badly. Because they had already understood that Boss Huang was counting on them to work, it was naturally impossible to starve them.

This time, you don't need to silence them. After a few minutes, they calmed down, and they waited for what Corning had to say next, because at the beginning of his speech, there was a request that Corning need to do something in order to be able to get the right to cultivate the land.

Everyone's expectant eyes were on Corning. Kimura re-became this time. I finally understood some of what Corning was going to do. Not because of his perceptive skills, though, but because Corning's purpose is clear. If he can't see it yet. That can only be said to be a problem with his IQ.

Corning wants to use the refugees to achieve his strategic goals, which is already obvious, and even many intelligent refugees have already guessed, but they are willing to die for Kangning. Because what Corning promised them was too tempting for the peasants who were in desperate need of land.

They don't have a better option, even if it's not the only way. They also decided to go to the end.

The points were ripe, and now, it was time for Scanning to throw out his entire place, only to hear him say slowly: "I need you to surround this island city like today, like today, and we will come one by one." Remember, if any of the city's armies dare to attack you directly, I don't need you to fight them, I just need you to push and run away, and run as fast as possible. ”

It was the first time that Kimura Shigenari had heard that a military commander would say such a thing when he was about to fight, he didn't need his subordinates to fight the enemy to the death, and second, he needed them to run away when they saw the enemy, but he quickly figured out the reason, because Corning was not a real military commander, and his subordinates were not samurai, his subordinates were farmers, and they were valuable labor for farming. It is a resource that Boss Yan Xia Huang and he lacks the most.

Sure enough, he heard Corning explain next: "Why did you let you escape?" Because your combat ability is probably not as good as theirs. Even if you were once in good shape, after this voyage, your body may not be in the peak state of the year, and I don't want any of you to take any chances, because this is what our allies, that is, those samurai of the Wa Kingdom have to do. ”

All the peasants turned around in anticipation, and the sound of the turn converged, causing Kimura to feel a chill on his back. The peasants looked at him and the warriors behind him, some of them pointing, some of them laughing, and he heard one of them say that he did not expect that the Japanese who had invaded the sea frontier had now become our pawns.

Kimura's anger was slowly burning, but I couldn't argue with what he said about Corning, because that's what he was told. The agreement between Boss Huang and Toyotomi Hideyori was that Toyotomi Hideyori sent troops to help him occupy Awaji Island. Boss Huang offered to provide Toyotomi Hideyori with a steady stream of strategic resources, and at the same time cut off ties with Tokugawa Ieyasu.

In this war, it should indeed be the other subordinates of Toyotomi Hideyori led by Tao Mumura Shigenari, charging ahead. Instead of letting these refugees just brought by Boss Huang rush to the front of the team.

At this time, Corning's voice continued to come from the high platform.

"Don't look at them. They have their responsibilities, and we have ours, what we have to do. It was standing behind them, with today's black and oppressive layout, coupled with the shouts of the mountains and tsunamis, that the defenders in the city were terrified. ”

Again, the words were passed down from one level to another, and all the farmers understood what Corning was asking them to do. It's just a huge formation to crush the enemy's psychological defense. In their spare time, they often hear stories about the storyteller. If one side has a strong army, then it is not impossible for such a thing to happen.

The next day, a horde of refugees, including women and children, set out on an expedition, but Corning simply persuaded them to stay in the camp and make sure they did not leave the group on the way.

However, the women and children still felt that it was safer to follow them in charge, and that Corning would no longer stop them, and let them follow behind the large army like snails.

Kangning is not familiar with the layout of the city on this island, this point, Kimura Shigenari obviously knows better, but Kangning does not need to know too much military information, what he wants to carry out is just a psychological warfare, if the psychological warfare does not work, then the loss of the attack can only be Kimura Shigeni's men, and it has nothing to do with him Kangning.

When a low rammed earth city appeared in front of him, Kang Ning only felt that the construction level of the Wa Kingdom was still far from the Ming Dynasty, and he didn't know how this good apprentice learned? There's a lot of things that are out of shape. Although in the Sui Dynasty, Tang Dynasty and Song Dynasty, the Wa Kingdom sent a lot of time to the Central Plains to study, but there were still some people who stubbornly retained the construction traditions that had been passed down when they entered the market, such as the place where the residents were stationed, far from the real city. There are different functional divisions in the castle, so there is a difference between the so-called castle tower, Honmaru, Ninomaru and Sannomaru.

But that's a large-scale city, and a small city like the one it has now doesn't have that much of it. Corning's refugees surrounded the city in the dark. The samurai inside, whether it was Ashigaru or the Shogun, were the first time they had seen so many people.

As far as the eye can see, it seems that it should not be used to describe the crowd, but what they see now is exactly that.

And the shock they felt was only just beginning, and your men had not yet let out their thunderous roar. (To be continued.) )
