Chapter 179: Hu Litao's sycophant
The so-called plan of the year lies in the spring, when the snow on the Hokuriku begins to melt, and then people are pleasantly surprised to find that the grass under the snow has begun to sprout, and when you take a deep breath, your chest and abdomen are full of fresh feelings.
Spring ploughing and autumn harvest, the way of heaven also, the era of cold weapons is generally not a war in this season, the obedient official is shocked to retreat 50,000 soldiers, but also take advantage of this, most people are worried about the fields at home, the so-called samurai is only a half-read homesteaders, as soon as the monkey dies, it is spring, then don't run home to farm, keep it to die, isn't it stupid.
However, the good officials are now wealthy, with enough white rice, and each person will be given a family of three for a year's rations, and the army will be left behind, and the news spreads like a plague, and when the army goes up, many daimyo cry and laugh and find that the soldiers who ran away under their men actually came back, and those who carefully counted the number of people found that when they went out with Chikuzen Guard, it was 3,000 soldiers, and at this time it actually became more than 3,000.
In this era, if you don't give birth to three or four, you are embarrassed to say that you are a mother, and it is not uncommon to give birth to seven or eight, white rice is enough, and a year's rations are paid, it is strange that these peasant soldiers do not stay, even if the brothers are dead, there are always parents, or relatives, and it is enough to help plant rice in the field, but the land is thinner, and the harvest is poorer, anyway, most of them have to be handed over to the lord, but the white rice is enough and the rations are sent, which really falls into their pockets, His Royal Highness said that no one is allowed to tax this, and those lords and lords are probably very greedy!
The peasants of the Ming Dynasty imagined that the emperor ate meat and buns all day long, and wanted to eat a few and eat a few, which was obviously nonsense, but the peasants of Fusang imagined that the lord ate white rice all day long, and wanted to eat a few bowls and eat a few bowls, this is really not nonsense, and even thought too well about the lord of the lord's words, such as the elder brother of the Ukita family, who went on a hunger strike with his retainers when he was fine, in order to save rations, and the big turtle Tokugawa Ieyasu said that even if he became a shogun, he still ate a small bowl of white rice and a few radish strips, It's just two more tail-long grilled fish and a bowl of soup than ordinary people.
So these peasant soldiers really didn't speculate about their own lords, most of them really coveted, and even thought that they would have to follow the convention to have a five public and five people everyone to divide in half, but the good officials had long expected that they were strictly not allowed to be taxed, and then, the wealthy merchants of Hakata pulled the rice to Kanesaki Town one by one, and the bags of rice were not enough in the end, so they directly poured the rice transported in front of them into the rice warehouse and used the pockets again, this time, the Hakata Sanjie did play a big role in it, naturally, the good officials did not treat them badly, Everything is always treated differently, it is all a big pot of rice, who still works hard, other merchants have five taxes and one, Shimai Sect, Shenya Zongzhan and Oga Zongjiu, these three families have ten taxes and one, and raw silk and satin These began to monopolize in Kyushu, and these three are licensed.
In this way, where is there a reason not to work hard, especially a major event occurred in the previous incident, the sea ship of the Liang family in Quanzhou of Daming Province refused to pay taxes, and was openly intercepted by He Kangan in the offshore waters of Hakata Town with an ironclad ship, more than a dozen sea ships sank four, and the rest were also wiped out, only one ran away, this is still deliberately released, otherwise who knows that you are powerful and barbaric!
I don't know how many years this kind of thing hasn't happened, after all, whether it's the pirates of the Ming Dynasty or the pirates of Fusang, the main thing is to collect protection money, stop you, and also charge a sum of money to buy the road, and the Liang family's ship also has an escort team and artillery, but the hooligans will martial arts immortals can't stop it, like He Kang'an, the three-master He Kangan, a pirate who has been running on the ship all his life, has a Franc machine and an ironclad ship, it is really a dragon when he encounters a storm, and he will deal with the civilian maritime merchants, which is not a hand-to-hand capture.
This naval battle took place in the offshore sea, standing on the seashore can even be vaguely seen, and the captured Liang family sea ships were also pulled to Boduo, some of them were still watching the direction of the wind, and suddenly the spirit of the spirit had a cold war, more than a dozen sea ships sank four, most of them went to the sea to feed the fish, it is said that the deck of the sea ship dragged back was full of blood, and those who listened to the news did not dare to ask, whether the people of the Liang family were caught or killed, and finally paid the tax honestly.
He Kang'an, the third master, has the restless factor of pirates in his bones, and he was not happy to surrender at first, but at this time he was full of joy, he liked to smell the fishy smell in the sea breeze, if this smell was mixed with the smell of musket fire and the smell of blood, it would be better, this is not to say that he is perverted and murderous, but some people are born with a risk factor, and you let him sit at home and enjoy the happiness He is uncomfortable.
This naval battle scared those maritime merchants, and other seafarers just bought road money, this is buying life money, and they want people's lives! Money can be earned slowly, and if you don't have a surname, where can you reason.
People always remember whether they eat or not, he doesn't remember the countless good things you do to him, and even if you don't treat him well one day, he will still be resentful, but if you ask him for money and a wife, if you treat him a little kindly, he will be grateful, this is the so-called Stockholm syndrome in later generations. Of course, most people like to use one word to describe it, cheap.
As soon as these people pay their taxes, they find out, huh? The cashier was full of smiles, and even issued documents, received a flag after paying taxes, and hung it on the bow of the ship, even if someone checked at sea, as long as the documents were issued, the other party would be released, there was no imaginary layer by layer of exploitation, or within an acceptable range, after all, the profits of the maritime merchants in these years were calculated in several times and several times, to put it bluntly, paying taxes was not enough to make some money, if it was burned like the Liang family, it would be empty.
In short, small and medium-sized maritime merchants feel that this is acceptable, and the maritime merchants feel that they have lost face, logically speaking, they can't be angry with money, but almost all the maritime merchants are either the Ming eunuchs themselves, or the relatives of the Ming eunuchs, in short, there are no ordinary people, of course, ordinary people can't afford to do the maritime business, after all, the trading movement at sea is calculated in 10,000 taels of silver.
And the literati are the ones who like to be angry the most, when they are really angry, what is the mud horse and money? What is Lao Tzu? Literati, how can you stand this breath.
Therefore, there are many merchants who do not trade with Fusang for the time being, naturally, they will not feel pain for a while, but they will still have pain after all. This is the shortcoming of the literati, there is no decision left and right, you either die early, or simply die to the end, but most literati are hard-mouthed and soft-boned, and they must suffer the great hardships of good officials in the future, so that they will be honest and obedient, otherwise, how could Han Gaozu scold the literati for being sour Confucian!
Therefore, the good official now really wants money in his hands, and he wants people to have people, with a hundred thousand yuan, and he will go to Luo to enter Beijing, and along the way, some of the so-called wealthy families, that is, the families whose ancestors have lived locally for generations, and whose children and grandchildren have spread their branches and leaves, are put into the Ming Dynasty, which is equivalent to the fact that the vast majority of people in a village have a surname, and such a village, the village chief is called a wealthy family in Fusang.
This belt armor is 100,000 mighty, and these wealthy families are scared half to death, kneeling to welcome and kneel, and I can't wait to send my own princess to sleep, but the good officials can't look down on it, such as Chiyo, Chacha, Mao Lilan, etc., calling a princess is barely qualified, and you dare to call a girl from the village chief's family a princess, I will spit on your face.
When the army arrived in Kyoto, nearly 100,000 people were stationed near Kyoto, and a small assembly was immediately formed, and people came to sell things every day, and the lowest-grade maiden in Kyoto wiped her cheeks and put on small sleeves and swayed around the barracks.
And at this time, Yi Neng Xiaozaburo Jingzhai and Hu Litao finally appeared, the first thing the two of them did was to go to the good official to ask for guilt, Hu Litao blushed and said, Uncle Guo, it's not that we are ineffective, it's really because the four islands are too unbeaten.
At the beginning, they went to Beijing from Shikoku Island, and it stands to reason that they had already arrived, but they fired a few cannons on Shikoku Island along the road, and they didn't want the soldiers on Shikoku Island to be similar to the green battalion of the Manchu Qing Dynasty in later generations.
Yi Neng Jingzhai and Hu Litao were surprised and delighted, and in the end, Hu Baihu was eager to make meritorious contributions, but he was gearing up to be promoted to thousands of households! You must know that he was the first batch of people who followed the obedient officials, and as a result, he took a thousand soldiers from Tang Zhucheng to the island, and the deeper and deeper he fought, and suddenly hit the city of Gangfeng City, the residence of Changzong and my Yuanqin, Changzong and my Yuanqin resisted to the death, although Hu Litao's subordinates were all professional soldiers, they were not as good as Changzong and my Yuanqin's so-called collar was actually a peasant wearing an armor made of bamboo, which was also the reason why Saruhideyoshi easily conquered Shikoku Island in less than three months.
Of course, in the Fuso Warring States, Shikoku Island is also a place where soy sauce is made, and it is a novelty on this island that people who abandon the city and flee because of the sound of muskets.
However, there are few thousands of people, and Hu Litao is reluctant to have more dead people, but as soon as Yi Neng Jingzhai's eyes rolled, he came up with an idea, Baihu, you take the ironclad boat in a circle and fight from behind.
Gangfeng City is also coastal, just in the south of Shikoku Island, and Hu Litao and others landed from the north, so Hu Litao returned to the ship with a small number of people, and spent money to hire pirates who knew the sea route, and went around to the south in a circle, first bombarded Anyun City, and after a few clicks, Anyun City surrendered, and the next day Changzong and my relatives got the news, couldn't bear it, and sighed gloomily, saying that it seems that Mori Zhitian did not bless Changzong and my family, so Kaicheng surrendered.
As soon as Changzong's family surrendered, he immediately led the way to fight the Shihe family, I can't have a good time, you don't want to have a good time, I have to say, Changzong's family is still quite powerful on their own island, and the people of Changzong's family know that the ironclad boat is now on their side, and their morale is extremely high, and they are marching forward, and they immediately won several cities of the Shihe family, and finally the Shihe family retreated to Ruisheng City.
Ruisheng City is the original residence of the Miyoshi family, the Miyoshi family is also the family that once controlled the shogunate, the city is strong, and it can't be beaten down in a hurry, at this time the hot-headed Yi Neng Jing Zhai and Hu Litao remembered that they have a great responsibility to go to Beijing this time, and immediately Yi Neng Jing Zhai hurried to Beijing with an ironclad boat, and only contacted the Fuso court a few days ago, but before the start of the talks, there was news that Yu Shiba Hideyoshi died.
And Hu Litao took the relatives of Changzong and my department to Kyoto in a hurry, at this time the relatives of Changzong and my department were asking to see outside, and finally, Hu Litao relied on him to be familiar with the good official, and said with a shy face: "Uncle Guo, do you say you see it?" ”
This reason is very strong, and the good official really can't cry or laugh when he hears it, and the feelings of Shikoku Island are also mine now? He couldn't help but snort, "Brother Hu, your above-the-top temper, how can you ever talk so well, you have used you, can I still see you." ”
Hu Litao was stunned immediately, hehe smiled, and the obedient official asked Tomita Jingsheng to bring the head of the Changzong and my department to come, and then Hu Litao remembered and asked, "Uncle Guo, who is this young man next to you?" Now that you have a noble body, you can't just use someone who doesn't know the roots! ”
The obedient official was not angry, "I want to count on you, brother of the Hu family!" Can you stay with me all the time? Hu Litao has really grown up recently, and he actually knows how to pat himself on the back, rubbing his two big hands against each other, and said with a smile: "I'm not helping Uncle Guo with you, according to it, I'd rather be by your side Uncle Guo......"
"Come on! Brother Hu family, your ranger's temper ......" The obedient official couldn't help but tease him when he saw him patting his ass, and he was actually a little embarrassed in his heart, he Zheng Guofan is still Zheng Guofan, and Hu Litao is still Hu Litao, the person is still the same person, not only he has changed, but this Hu Baihu has also changed!
Where does the butt sit, naturally say something, the doctor talks to people, and promises to say [You don't seem to look good these two days], the teacher will inevitably say [how is your child's homework recently], and the elder brother's sister will inevitably say [Oh, the customer rate is not good in the past two days, and I only pull 300 yuan a day].
Hu Baihu is now a big man, and the temper of the former ranger naturally has to be retracted.
As he was talking, Changzong and my relatives brought it, and after coming in, they bowed and worshipped, and prostrate on the ground.
The obedient official sat on the top and smiled, didn't speak, and hung him for a while, Changzong and my Yuanqin were worried, and Tomita Jingsheng next to him came over and whispered to him, Lord Yuanqin, please stay away for a while.
"Yuanqin, it's right next to you!" Although the good official is fourteen years old, his identity is indeed different now, when he meets Zhongli Hu Litao, after all, he has a previous relationship, but others are basically calling other people's names.
At this time, a man in his fifties with a head was brought in outside, and as soon as the man came in, he fell to the ground, "The villain Yanagi Zongyan has seen His Highness." ”
"Yagyu Soyan." The obedient official propped one hand on Bao Yiman's thigh, held a cheatbook in his hand, flipped through it, and threw it on the floor in front of him, "This is all the cheats of your Yanagi New Yin Stream?" ”
Liu Sheng Zongyan trembled, and suddenly touched the ground with his forehead, and did not dare to speak.
The obedient official sneered at the top, and the clan of the Yanagi family in later generations took out the secret books that had been hidden in the family for more than ten generations in the Internet era, before this, no one knew that the so-called external biography, internal biography, this biography, and all the transmission of several levels, as well as the mystery of this biography, people with foreign surnames can't learn it at all.
In fact, the good official doesn't have to ask for those so-called tricks, the key is, if you hide a few moves, he hides a few moves, won't Uncle Guo's sword house become a joke?
