Chapter 449: Kill with a Rod!

"Haha, revenge? Although the Ming Dynasty is strong, the sea is our territory! ”

As Lu Kang's head was removed by the Japanese invaders, Kumamoto Taro didn't take it to heart when he heard Lu Kang's shout before he died, but instead sneered with disdain.

At this moment, a Japanese servant walked up to Kumamoto Taro and said to Kumamoto Taro, "My lord, all the Ming people on the ship have been killed. ”

Kumamoto Taro nodded slightly, his eyes swept over the blood-stained boat and said, "Take this small boat, let's go back!" ”

The sea area that surrounded Lu Kang and others before, but at this moment, in this sea area, several big ships that originally belonged to the Ming Dynasty fell into the hands of the Japanese Kou.

When Kumamoto Taro caught up with Lu Kang and the others and returned, and boarded one of the big ships, he saw a group of Japanese robbers looking at him excitedly.

"My lord, we've made a fortune, we've really made a fortune this time!"

Kumamoto Taro chuckled lightly, raised his eyebrows and said, "Oh, I don't know how the harvest is!" ”

As he spoke, Kumamoto Taro followed these would-be robbers out of the cabin and into the cabin, Kumamoto Taro couldn't help but widen his eyes, and his face couldn't help but show a little consternation.

I saw that in the cabin, several open boxes were filled with gold and silver, and these gold and silver were packed in the boxes, which were open in front of Kumamoto Taro at the moment, and the impact of so much gold and silver was not small at all.

At this moment, a Japanese servant standing beside him said to Kumamoto Taro: "My lord, 100,000 taels, a full 100,000 taels of gold and silver, we really made a fortune this time." ”

Kumamoto Taro stabilized his mind, glanced at the crowd around him, and endured the surprise in his heart and said, "If you go back this time, the general will definitely reward everyone." ”

These people themselves were soldiers and horses under the command of a daimyo of Toei, but they often pretended to be Japanese robbers at sea, and Kumamoto Taro was the retainer of this daimyo.

Kumamoto Isyasu sits in the land of a city, with dozens of samurai and nearly 1,000 soldiers and horses, and Kumamoto Taro is the most daring retainer under Kumamoto Ichiyasu, and he is also Kumamoto Ichiyasu's henchman, and he was given the surname Kumamoto by Kumamoto Ichiyasu.

On this day, Kumamoto Ichiyasu was feasting several merchants from the Ming Dynasty, Kumamoto Ichiyasu was very enthusiastic about these Ming merchants, if he didn't know that Kumamoto Ichiyasu supported a group of Japanese robbers on the sea to plunder the passing merchant ships, I am afraid that no one would have thought that Kumamoto Ichiyasu, such a famous name, would secretly send his samurai as Japanese robbers to rob merchant ships.

These Ming businessmen were obviously confused by Kumamoto Kazuyasu's appearance, thinking that Kumamoto Kazuyasu was extremely enthusiastic about them, but they didn't think that between pushing the cup and changing the lamp, their details were exposed to Kumamoto Kazuyasu's eyes.

If someone is targeted by Kumamoto Kazuyasu, then when he leaves Toei, on the open sea, what awaits him is the Japanese led by Taro Kumamoto, who received the news early and ambushed him.

A retainer walked into the hall, walked to Kumamoto Ichiyasu, and whispered a few words in Kumamoto Ichiyasu's ear, Kumamoto Ichiyasu's eyes couldn't help flashing a gleam, and the whole person suddenly sat up straight, and his face gradually revealed a little horror.

Several Ming businessmen were obviously clear-eyed people, and they could see at a glance that Kumamoto Ichiyasu was afraid that something was going on, and all of them saw that one of them took the initiative to get up and say goodbye to Kumamoto Ichiyasu.

Kumamoto Yiyasu's heart was a little shaken at this time, but he didn't have much energy and ideas to talk to a few businessmen, and seeing that these people were very knowledgeable, he couldn't help but nod slightly, and sent someone to send a few businessmen away.

Soon, I saw Kumamoto Taro striding into the hall, and respectfully bowed to Kumamoto Ichiyasuchi: "I have seen the Lord!" ”

Kazuyasu Kumamoto stepped forward and helped Taro Kumamoto up, and said with a little concern on his face: "Kumamoto, is everything going well when you go to sea this time?" ”

Kumamoto Taro said to Kumamoto with a touched face: "Back to my lord, everything is fine with Taro's going, and there is a labor lord to care about!" ”

As he spoke, he saw Kumamoto Taro shouting out of the hall, "Come on, bring things up!" ”

Kumamoto Kazuyasu was slightly stunned, and looked out of the living room with a little doubt.

I saw more than a dozen figures carrying a few heavy big boxes staggering over, and I heard a clang, and several boxes fell heavily to the ground.

Kumamoto Kazuyasu's eyes fell on those boxes, which could make Kumamoto Taro so solemn, obviously the contents of this box were not simple.

"It's ......"

Hearing this, Kumamoto Kazuyasu looked at the boxes with a little doubt, and Kumamoto Taro nodded at those people, and soon saw that the boxes were opened one by one, and suddenly neatly placed gold and silver appeared in front of them.

Kumamoto couldn't help but be a little shocked when he saw the boxes of yellow, orange, orange, gold, and white silver.

Judging by Kumamoto Kazuyasu's experience, if the yellow, orange, orange, gold, and white silver are combined, I am afraid that it will add no less than 100,000 taels of silver.

You must know that even if Kumamoto Kazuyasu rules a city, aside from the few gold and silver mines he occupies, he does not accumulate much wealth on weekdays.

In Kumamoto Kazuyasu's secret treasure house, there are only tens of thousands of taels of gold and hundreds of thousands of taels of silver.

Of course, because Kumamoto Ichiyasu occupies the gold and silver mines, the annual gold and silver input is quite stable, so the secret vault has never been able to enter or leave, and the gold and silver obtained from the excavation and refining of gold mines and silver mines are enough for his annual expenses.

Such gold and silver worth 100,000 yuan couldn't help but be moved even when Kumamoto Kazuyasu saw it, but Kumamoto Kazuyasu took a deep breath, and his eyes shifted from the gold and silver to Kumamoto Taro with difficulty, with a somewhat solemn look on his face.

Where the gold and silver came from, in fact, Kumamoto Kazuyasu himself could guess, must have been looted from other merchant ships.

It's just that Kumamoto couldn't figure out what kind of caravan would carry so much gold and silver.

The Ming merchants that Kumamoto Yiyasu came into contact with did not have this level at all, and even if these merchants robbed all their goods, they were afraid that the most would be tens of thousands of taels of silver.

"Where does all this gold and silver come from?"

Kumamoto Taro told Kumamoto Kazuyasu how they targeted Lu Kang and his party and how they ambushed at sea.

Of course, Kumamoto Taro focused on Lu Kang's identity, after all, Lu Kang showed their identity to them at that time, and Lu Kang's identity is also a little sensitive, Kumamoto Taro can be said to be loyal to Kumamoto Yiyasu, and this kind of thing is naturally 1510.

Kumamoto Ichiyasu listened to Kumamoto Taro finish explaining the process of the matter, and Kumamoto Taro said to Kumamoto Ichiyasu: "Lord, it is the subordinates who have caused trouble for the Lord!" ”

Hearing this, Kazuyasu Kumamoto couldn't help but laugh and said, "Trouble? Where does this begin? ”

Kumamoto Taro said: "After all, these people are from the background of the Ming royal family, and his subordinates led people to loot them, in case the emperor will raise troops tomorrow......"

"Hahaha, the great tomorrow will raise the army? Could it be that the people and horses of the Ming Dynasty can still fly over the ocean? Even if they did send people here, they were afraid that before they landed, they would have been wiped out by the kamikaze. ”

Saying that, Kumamoto Ichiyasu said: "If they come, then General Ben will wait here, I want to see how they came across the sea!" ”

As a large amount of gold and silver wealth flowed into the hands of the imperial court, and then the accumulated wealth was used by the imperial court, the construction of water conservancy, the expansion of official roads and other major actions were all going on.

When a lot of gold and silver were sprinkled out, all kinds of construction carried out by the Ming court were in full swing.

On the outskirts of the capital, a Huangzhuang has long been converted into a barracks for the training of recruits from the Beijing Army.

The imperial court recruited 250,000 troops, of which 50,000 needed to be recruited in the southern coastal areas, while the remaining 200,000 foot soldiers could be recruited from anywhere.

Of course, it is naturally impossible for the old, weak, sick and disabled to enter the army, and now who in the army does not know Chu Yi, that is the same thing.

If anyone dares to violate the rules set by Chu Yi, the consequences can be imagined, so with Chu Yi in charge, the entire recruitment process is definitely very strict, but no one who does not meet the requirements dares to recruit them into the army.

It can be said that the strict military discipline in the army at present is even far greater than that of the Taizu and Chengzu back then. Although it was said that at that time, both Taizu and Chengzu did not hesitate to kill people, but compared to Chu Yi, everyone still had a deeper awe of Chu Yi.

In the final analysis, even if Chu Yi was crowned king, no one dared to ignore Chu Yi's identity in everyone's hearts, that is, the inner servant.

As a person without a descendant, he never needs to think about whether it will affect future generations, so everyone thinks that it is precisely because of this that Chu Yi will act so well and ruthlessly, leaving no trace of a way out for himself.

It's like what Chu Yi has been doing all along, it is completely making enemies everywhere, although it is said that it is high up now, but it has left a great hidden danger.

If Chu Yi has descendants, even if no one dares to attack Chu Yi when he is alive, it is difficult to ensure that one day Chu Yi dies of old age, Chu Yi's opponents will let his descendants go.

The 200,000-strong army has now recruited nearly 100,000 people, and the entire newly built military camp already has a bit of a military camp.

100,000 young men have already started training in the barracks, and the momentum is earth-shattering.

A team of fast horses galloped over, and the person at the head was Chu Yi, and the other person was walking side by side with Chu Yi, not someone else, it was Zhu Houzhao today.

Zhu Houzhao was dressed in a strong suit, and his face was full of joy.

He carried a group of civil and military ministers on his back, and secretly went out of the palace with Chu Yi to this military camp on the outskirts of Beijing.

You must know that Zhu Houzhao has not had any chance to leave the Beijing Division in the past few years, and there are Manchu Dynasty civil and military officials, it would be strange if Zhu Houzhao could leave the Beijing Division.

This time it was Chu Yi, otherwise, Zhu Houzhao would have been caught up by a group of civil and military ministers not long after he left the palace.

Even though Zhu Houzhao worked hard to make the palace into an iron bucket, this is obviously not very realistic, and there will inevitably be other people's eyeliner in the palace.

This time, Zhu Houzhao and Chu Yi went out of the palace together for less than half an hour, and the news had already spread.

The reason why these civil and military ministers did not catch up was because Chu Yi was by Zhu Houzhao's side, and everyone believed that with Chu Yi here, Zhu Houzhao would not have any accidents even if he left Beijing.

Zhu Houzhao, who was galloping on a horse, left the Beijing Division, only to feel that the whole person was much more relaxed all of a sudden, as if he had put aside the identity of the Son of Heaven, and the whole person was galloping wantonly.

The group roared and stopped in front of the barracks, but was stopped by the soldiers guarding the barracks.

Seeing this, a little eunuch who accompanied him couldn't help but take a step forward and screamed at the soldier guarding the camp gate: "What a big dog, don't open your eyes to see clearly what kind of noble person you stopped......

Under the reprimand of the little eunuch, several soldiers guarding the camp gate couldn't help but show a little panic on their faces, but these soldiers did not let go of the camp gate because of this, one of the army commanders gritted his teeth and said: "Your nobles, please forgive your sins, according to the military order of His Royal Highness King Wu: the military camp is heavy, there is no military order, no one is allowed to trespass, and those who violate the order will be killed!" ”

The little eunuch wanted to say something more, but Zhu Houzhao coughed lightly: "Little Dezi, don't be embarrassed anymore, don't give me a retreat!" ”

It can be seen that this little eunuch should be very pleasing to Zhu Houzhao, otherwise, based on the actions of this little eunuch alone, he would be scolded at least and killed on the spot.

Chu Yi couldn't help but glance at the little eunuch a few times, and it was obvious that this little eunuch had entered Chu Yi's magic eyes.

As if noticing Chu Yi's gaze, the little eunuch nodded slightly at Chu Yi, and Chu Yi could clearly see the envy, jealousy, and ambition hidden in the depths of his eyes!

With a light sigh, Chu Yi said to Zhu Houzhao: "Your Majesty, this little eunuch does not abide by his duty, does not distinguish between dignity and inferiority, and is suspected of flattering the king, he should be killed!" ”

Zhu Houzhao was slightly stunned, and subconsciously looked at the little eunuch, but at this moment, the little eunuch called Xiao Dezi stood there with a dull face, looking at Chu Yi with a calm expression in disbelief, and after reacting, he almost instinctively knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Zhu Houzhao frantically: "Your Majesty spare your life, Your Majesty spare your life!" ”

Zhu Houzhao smiled bitterly, looking at Chu Yi's calm appearance, Zhu Houzhao couldn't help but say to Chu Yi: "What the big companion taught me is that I was negligent, so that some people around me forgot the dignity and humility of their identity, and they dared to fake the tiger and not keep their duty......"

Xiao Dezi couldn't help but scream in despair: "Your Majesty, the slave and maid know that they are wrong, the slave and the maid will never dare again, you are magnanimous, just spare the slave and maid this time!" ”

Taking a deep breath, Zhu Houzhao said to the Yulin guard beside him: "Come on, drag it down, kill it with a rod, and pass it on to the court to set an example!" ”
