Looking at the fire burning in another castle town in the distance, Zhao Gao had no sorrow or joy in his heart, even if he was doing demonic things now, he had no guilt in his heart. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

This is war, civilians have always been just bargaining chips, and burning this castle town is the card he shows.

At this time, there were three types of cities in Japan: castles, castle towns, and general towns.

Castles were used to garrison troops during the Warring States period, and most of them were built on the hills, because there were natural defensive passes on the mountains. Years of war have left each actual castle representing the actual occupation of the Daimyo.

Underneath these castles, the lords will automatically gather to form another castle town that has nothing to do with military affairs. At this time, Japan's productivity and medical level were low, and the population had always been a problem, so everyone would default to not attacking the castle town, otherwise it would be meaningless to attack the castle without population. The residents of the castle town are also honest, whoever builds the castle will mix with whom, anyway, change the boss, and the rest pay taxes or everything is the same.

At this time, most of Japan's castles were mountain castles that were convenient for military defense, and at the foot of the mountain were castle towns, which served as the economic and cultural center of the region, and were also inhabited by the townspeople. The interior of the castle was basically an area for the political life of the middle and upper samurai class.

Zhao Gao took the bandit route at the beginning. With the treasure fleet as the backing, and even the grain and grass could be supplied from the Ming Dynasty, Zhao Gao did not bother to occupy the so-called mountain city at all, and usually acted directly against the castle town.

These Japanese don't have any concept of a country, anyway, they rob everyone the same, and the people who live most in the castle town are rich merchants, and although most of the Japanese people are poor, the rich merchants are still very rich. There are also kabuki who are dressed up in strange shapes, and Zhao Gao is not forbidden, and you can play as much as you want to kill people and set fires. There was only one rule, and that was the time limit for each robbery, and when the time came, the fleet would sail away, and those who did not have time to leave would usually be torn to pieces by the angry defenders of the city.

Several times, all the Japanese are not good at anything else, and the concept of time is one and the same.

Every time Zhao Gao fights, it is a blitzkrieg, and the defenders of the city generally dare not go out of the city easily without an order, and when there is an order, Zhao Gao has already left.

Some angry daimyo would send a few small ships to pursue the Ming fleet, and usually these people panicked at the sight of the huge tower-like treasure ship, and there was no such thing as a naval battle. Zhao Gao's treasure ship turned around, and these small boats were immediately pressed directly into the bottom of the sea, maybe two or three days later, a few pieces of wood floated up.

After the burning, the next thing is blackmail. Find a Japanese "real wolf" at random, give him a piece of paper listing the gold and silver treasures extorted by Zhao Gao, and if he doesn't give the corresponding retaliatory measures, let this Japanese take a few people, and Shi Shiran went to the local lord.

Usually this price is carefully considered by Zhao Gao after consulting the information, the prices of the big names and small names are different but they are within the acceptable range, of course, it doesn't matter if they don't accept it, and then burn and loot a castle town, these lords will basically agree - Zhao Gao usually refuses to bargain.

Now the total number of vassal kingdoms has exceeded one hundred, and according to the calculation of grabbing once in ten days, Zhao Gao still has this business to do.

The treasure ship travels so fast that it doesn't take much time to circle the island of Japan. There are many participants in the battle in Amaterasu Space, but it is impossible to predict that Zhao Gao's next attack point will be chosen there, even if he knows, Zhao Gao basically does not get off the ship, no matter how bold these people are, they dare not attack the fleet. So an extremely depressing point appeared, the side with a large number of people was completely in a passive state, and there was no chance to fight back at all.

In the past two months, Zhao Gao and Lao Ba have only seen the participants in Amaterasu Space once, and the five servants on duty have mixed in the group of Japanese robbers who have returned from robbery, but they were discovered before they could get on the ship. Zhao Gao imitated the space of the ark and numbered each of the widows, and before boarding the ship, these widows were required to report their numbers, and such a simple measure made the five people who were not prepared exposed. Needless to say, the eighth took a few Zhang Xun guards under Zhao Gao's command, and easily left three of the five people, and the remaining two turned on the props that returned to the space in an instant, and barely saved their lives after paying a huge price.

In this way, no one dared to spy on Zhao Gao's fleet. It is also very difficult for these explorers of Amaterasu to use the power of the characters in the plot, first of all, it is not enough time to develop to influence the lord, and secondly, even if they can influence a certain lord, in the face of Zhao Gao's fleet, it is basically impossible for these lords to fight to the death with Zhao Gao.

After seven or eight years of arrangement, if a few explorers could easily break it, then he would have died a long time ago. The gap in team battle time is simply not seven or eight times the number of people that can be erased.

"If we rob this castle town called Ishio again, it is estimated that Zanzaki's daimyo Owari Yuda will consider our conditions." Lao Ba looked at the smoke rising in front of him, killing people and setting fires are often synchronized, this is the inferior nature of people, even if nothing will be gained, the pleasure of wanton destruction will also make these hooligans themselves from the hooligan indulge to the fullest.

The castle town that has been swept through is basically left with nothing but a scorched field.

"This is probably the easiest space battlefield." Zhao Gao also looked at the fire under the thick smoke and sighed in a low voice. His perception was superb, and even though the castle town was no less than seven or eight miles away from him, he could still vaguely feel the crying mixed with laughter over there.

It's the cry of a city.

"We have robbed a total of three big names and four small names, and the total amount of gold and silver earned has exceeded 270,000 taels, but it's a pity that these are all plot income, if only they could belong to us." Lao Ba looked at the back of the treasure ship, because the relationship between gold and silver was a layer deeper, and these silver taels were marked with the plot from the beginning and could not be included in personal space.

Zhao Gao also glanced at the back, to be honest, it was fake, but unfortunately according to the rules of team battles, all income will be recalculated, otherwise commanding tens of thousands of people to fight a casual battle, just picking up white treasure chests is enough for a team to rise.

In fact, the converted ratio is still higher than that of individual battles. Zhao Gao has already plundered several castle towns, and the overall income is about one hundred and eighty white boxes and twenty or so blue boxes, as for the purple and above boxes, because they basically avoid fighting with high-level plot characters, so there is not one so far.

"We can get Kojiro Tanama to send our request over." Zhao Gao nodded, and a Japanese man in a ronin costume stood up, took the letter from Zhao Gao's hand, and at the same time cut off one of his little fingers with a knife, and smeared the blood on the silk letter, representing that he would rather die and complete the task.

Zhao Gao twitched his eyebrows covertly, and seeing that several important works of Wang Yangming that he had copied by hand were not smeared with blood, he didn't say more, waved his hand and served the widow a bowl of wine, and sent him off the boat.

Although not killing the envoy is one of the bottom lines, Zhao Gao's looting of the castle town can also be regarded as tearing the bottom line, so half of the envoys sent in the past were torn to pieces by the angry lords, and of course, these lords also paid a heavy price for this impulsive act.

"Are you sure this kind of edification works?" Lao Ba frowned, he looked at the back of Kojiro in the field leaving, how could he not figure out what kind of education Zhao Gao was, could it be that copying Wang Yangming's works and forcing everyone to recite them was considered edification?

What kind of education is this TMD!

"You're thinking too complicated, and this is definitely edification." Zhao Gaocai didn't bother to argue with him, this kind of means of education, up to now, has not stopped in reality, read the book a hundred times and see its meaning, read more will memorize, it will always have a little impact.

After saying that, he silently walked into the cabin, for some reason, he had a faint bad premonition in his heart, and it was very strong, which forced him to recalculate his plan.
