Chapter 593: Zheng San's Strategy

Kuramiya Minoru reluctantly agreed to Hu Ye's request, so the group of old people worshiped Hu Ye and Kuramiya Minoruto, and finally, after living in the mountains for a few years, they could return to their homes, eat a full meal, sleep in a warm bed, and no longer have to worry about the attack of wild beasts.

"Your Highness! How can you promise him! He's going to drag you into the mire! ”

After Ida Erichi learned the news, he said angrily to Kuramiya Minoruhito.

"You weren't there at the time, do you know that his Divine Machine Battalion has reached the barracks gate? If I don't agree, I'm afraid that the Shenji Battalion will copy your back road, and you can still achieve today's victory there. Kuramiya Minoru said helplessly.

"That damn Hu Ye, he actually had to inch in, even if he indulged his soldiers who killed me, he had already begun to intervene in our future affairs. If the whole of Kyushu had to keep these old men, there would be tens of thousands more, and then we would simply not have any extra food to train the army! This kid is so vicious! ”

Ida Eryi slammed his fist on the table and said viciously.

"It's still the same sentence, people are under the eaves, they have to bow their heads, wait for him to leave, what to do with these old people at that time, it's not up to us to decide?" Kuramiya Minoru muttered, he promised Hu Ye that it was also an expedient measure, and when Hu Ye left here, it would not be his world? There is a good saying, the tiger is not at home, the monkey is the overlord.

"By the way, what's going on in the battle ahead?"

"Today I got news from Hu Ye, saying that Ashikaga Yoshito has assembled a large army in Kumamoto, and I have already sent an army to investigate, if the situation is true, tomorrow I will lead all the troops to destroy them all. As long as the army of the Ashikaga Yoshito is gone, the Northern Dynasty will not have any chance in Kyushu, and when the time comes, His Highness will raise his arms again, and the people of Kyushu will respond. At that time, Kyushu will be His Highness! Ida said with a hint of joy.

"That Ashikaga Yoshito is not a fool, he must have asked his brother Ashikaga Yoshinori for help, and the Northern Dynasty will not sit idly by." Kuramiya Minoru said with a hint of concern.

"Your Highness, you don't have to worry about this, I heard that Hu Ye's kid has sent ten ships along Kyushu to the north, although Ashikaga Yoshinori is powerful, but he doesn't dare to directly fight Hu Ye's army, so his reinforcements will definitely not be able to reach Kyushu, with the strength of Ashikaga Yoshito, I'm afraid it's not enough for me to plug my teeth." Over the years, they have been pampered in Kyushu. And these soldiers and horses of mine are very strong soldiers in the east, almost all of them are outlaws, and it is easy to deal with them. So His Highness's mastery of Kyushu is just around the corner! Ida said.

"Okay, as long as you master Kyushu, you can start all over again, just ......"

Kuramiya Minoruhito's face also showed a hint of relief, but it immediately made up for the dark cloud.

Ida Iichi knew what Kuramiya Minoru was thinking, "Your Highness, Matsushita died for us. One day we will avenge him and honor him with Hu Ye's blood. ”

"Hey." Kuramiya Minoru shook his head, he knew that Hu Ye was powerful and cunning, and wanted Hu Ye's life? Easier said than done.

That same evening. Hu Ye called Liu Guan to his tent, and these days, Liu Guan has an important duty in addition to dealing with the topographic maps brought back from various places. It is to calculate the population, tax revenue, and income composition of these Kyushu. Before, Hu Ye really wanted to know about this place, but after the matter of that group of old people, Hu Ye suddenly wanted to be a real person. This real yàn must have a large number of jù. In later generations, it was possible to use a computer, but now only Liu Guan, a special brain, can be used.

"Dean, I have carefully calculated that if they can end the fighting within this year, they will be able to resume normal production next year, and the production capacity will be reduced by nearly forty percent compared to before. If they take all the old people back, the average productivity will drop by about 20%, which means that without external intervention, their production capacity will only be 40% of what it used to be. ”

"According to the information I got from them, his per capita food was only enough to eat and clothe before, and if it is reduced to the original 40%, it will be below the food and clothing, and many people will not have enough to eat. According to the birth ratio of Kyushu's population, in the future, there will be more and more elderly people, more and more newborns, and the labor force will be less and less, so even if there is no external intervention, the production capacity will continue to decline. ”

"So in order to ensure their productivity, once we leave, they will definitely lower the population, and they will not give up on newborns who are not able to work, but these old people who are not able to work, they will definitely be abandoned." Liu Guan gave Hu Ye a long paragraph of analysis, and Hu Ye was stunned when he heard it.

Isn't this what kind of population model those sociologists did in later generations? He just asked Liu Guan to analyze how many years it would take for Kuramiya Minoru to recover his combat effectiveness, and then he would bring troops to exterminate him, but he didn't expect Liu Guan to come up with such an accurate analysis.

"So Dean, although they have promised you to keep those old people now, once we leave, those old people will definitely not stay." Liu Guan said loudly.

"I didn't expect them to keep this promise for a long time, just for two years." Hu Ye muttered.

"Huh? What does this mean, Dean? Liu Guan asked curiously, if it was only for a year or two, why did he have to go to such great lengths to make Kuramiya Minoru agree to keep these old people.

"What the Ming Dynasty needs now is time, these two years will give Kuramiya Minoru a headache for the livelihood of Kyushu and the army of the Northern Dynasty, Annan thinks that it will not be long before there will be a coup d'état, and the cripple Timur in the Western Regions will not settle down, and the imperial court will not have extra troops to deal with the attack of the Japanese invaders." Hu Ye said.

"Who was Timur the Cripple? Also, how did the dean know that something would go wrong with Annan? Liu Guan was even more curious, could it be that the dean was really the same as Zhuge Liang?

"You don't care about this, when Nie Yuan comes back, remember to let him lead his troops to the place with the strongest production capacity in Kyushu to cause sabotage, this kind of thing he likes to do the most." Hu Ye smiled, and then walked out of the tent.

The next day, Ida Niichi got the news that in Kumamoto, the 30,000 horses of the Ashikaga Yoshito had been assembled, so he took the only 4,000 men and horses and pounced directly on them, destroying all the forces of the Northern Dynasty on Kyushu Island in one fell swoop.

At the same time, Nie Yuan also came back with the centaurs, but there was no smile on his face.

"Dean, why did you let this thing go with us? Originally, we were all going to teach the Japanese a good lesson, but we had to tell him to negotiate, but this negotiation was good, and the Japanese fleet went back directly, and they didn't plan to fight us in a decisive battle. As soon as he got off the boat, Nie Yuan viciously pointed at Zheng San next to him and complained to Hu Ye.

It turned out that Hu Ye asked his fleet to go north along Kyushu Island before, and sure enough, he encountered the fleet of the Northern Dynasty of the Japanese Kingdom, which was full of reinforcements from the Northern Dynasty, so he naturally saw that this fleet was the fleet of the Ming Dynasty, and he didn't know why the fleet of the Ming Dynasty ran to their territory, but he knew that the ships of the Ming Dynasty couldn't fight, so they hurriedly retreated.

Just as Nie Yuan was about to give the order to pursue, Zheng San suddenly asked him to stop the pursuit, which made Nie Yuan very annoyed. But he also knew that Zheng San was a close confidant of the emperor, and his position in the army was only under Hu Ye and Zhu Neng, and he didn't dare not listen to Zheng San's words.

The most terrible thing is that Zheng San finally asked Nie Yuan to take a dozen soldiers and follow him to the fleet of the Japanese in a small boat, saying that he was going to negotiate.

Nie Yuan didn't know where the courage of this goods came from, and in the end, he took a dozen soldiers and followed Zheng San into the fleet of the Japanese Kou.

In the end, Nie Yuan didn't know how Zheng San negotiated with the Japanese Invaders, and in the end, the Japanese Invaders actually gave up their plans to help Ashikaga Yoshito and led the fleet back to Kyoto.

could have fought a big battle, but as a result, Zheng San was so involved that he couldn't get anything, and Nie Yuan was of course very annoyed.

"You dead eunuch, when I return to Nanjing, I will definitely refer to you to the emperor." Zhu Neng didn't look at Zheng San angrily, and said to Nie Yuan vigorously, "You are also a pig's head, if Lao Tzu was in it at the time, he would definitely directly chop up the head of the widow, where can this dead eunuch be allowed to negotiate." ”

Nie Yuan is also dumb and eats Coptis chinensis, the so-called official level crushes people to death, he doesn't dare to scold Zheng San for dying as a eunuch like Zhu Neng.

"This is nothing, although our fleet is invincible at sea, but if it docks, there will not be much advantage, and there are Japanese robbers near Kyoto, we don't have a Shenji battalion to fight the front station, if we rush ashore, I'm afraid it will be counterproductive." Zhang Dingbian gave another explanation.

Hu Ye knew that Zhang Dingbian had some truth, Nie Yuan brought a navy, and it was first-class in the battle at sea, but if he went ashore, he was afraid that his combat effectiveness would be greatly weakened, so he forced Kuramiya Minoru yesterday, and Hu Ye used the Shenji Battalion to deter, not the water army.

"Senior, how can you speak for a dead eunuch! Isn't it just a wolf, come and kill one by one, and kill two and a pair! Zhu Neng said loudly, he dared to murder Zheng San, but he didn't dare to murder Zhang Dingbian.

"By the way, Gonggong Zheng, how did you convince them to give up the 30,000 troops of Ashikaga Yoshito? This is certainly not a small amount for them. Hu Ye asked Zheng San curiously, this product is really like Zheng He in history, he has excellent diplomatic skills, and he can achieve his goal with a mouth.

"If we want to fight, our fleet can indeed stop them, but this is not worth the loss, and I don't want to let our soldiers die because of some unnecessary actions. That's why I'm going to tell them about the benefits, if our fleet is moved, the Ming Dynasty will definitely pour all the strength of the whole country to wipe out the Japanese country, and they are naturally afraid. But if they just give up Kyushu, they will still keep most of the country, and as I said, once we leave Kyushu, it's up to them what we do. They are not stupid, so naturally they will not fight with us, and they will only do it against Kyushu after we leave. Zheng San said with a smile. (To be continued......)
