Chapter 53: The Eastern Crusade to Kyushu 1
readx;
The people from Dingxiang County are naturally not only Zhang Cang and Sun Po, the two Zhang Jiashi who need to be transferred, but to Zhang Jiashi's surprise, Mo Yan'er and the white wolf actually came to join in the fun. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Well, yes to Mo Yan'er, Zhang Jiashi didn't say anything more after hearing the other party say a word.
The two princesses ordered Miss Ben to look at General Zuo's. ”
Zhang Jiashi: "......"
As for the white wolf, Zhang Jiashi gently tapped the other party's forehead: "Then what are you going to do?"
The white wolf simply lay directly at Zhang Jiashi's feet and yawned......
Zhang Jiashi: "............"
And Zhang Cang and Sun Po looked at Zhang Jiashi for a while before they said: "My lord, Chen Sima ordered the next two people to assist the adults this time, and here is a letter from Chen Sima." ”
After Zhang Jiashi took a letter from Zhang Cang's hand, he nodded lightly.
......
The white wolf was in Zhang Jiashi's tent, while "bullying" a little fox who pretended to be dead with his paws, and looked at Zhang Jiashi who was looking at the letter out of the corner of his eye, lying on the ground and closing his eyes to recuperate.
Zhang Jiashi looked at Ling'er's fire-attribute fox and didn't pay too much attention to it. After he opened this letter, he saw that Chen Ping's content on the letter was not too much.
There are two main contents in Chen Ping's letter, one is that if a very serious problem occurs, and Zhang Jiashi is far away from Dingxiang, what should he do?
The other is about the logistical supply if it is the corresponding one. Although Chen Ping also knew that the logistical pressure in the Jeju Island area was quite large, as the most important transit area, Chen Ping hoped that Xiao He would be in charge of the coordination on Jeju Island.
In fact, Zhang Jiashi didn't have too many thoughts about Chen Ping's problems.
The first question, Zhang Jiashi didn't think about it, so he wrote directly on the reply:
"If there is a matter that Sima Chen can't decide, then, please ask Her Royal Highness the Fifth Princess. ”
Although Zhang Jiashi said in his heart, he also knew very well that he was indeed a little angry, so he temporarily decided to lead the army to Kyushu Island. But this does not mean that Zhang Jiashi has lost his feelings for Ying Yuexi and his confidence in each other.
Although he was very unhappy, from the perspective of Ying Yuexi and others, it was understandable to figure it out first.
As for the second question, Zhang Jiashi was able to make up his mind after a long period of calculation.
It's not that Xiao He's ability worries Zhang Jiashi. Rather, it was because he believed that the preparations for this attack on Kyushu Island were quite adequate. Leaving Xiao He in charge of this aspect of the co-ordination would have the potential to delay the preparation of a more important step of the plan that followed.
After all, Zhang Jiashi himself knows very well that even if it is true that the plan to conquer Kyushu Island failed due to various reasons, but no matter how bad it is, Zhang Jiashi knows one thing, that is, even if this plan fails, it will not have too subjective impact on the next action.
After all, Zhang Jiashi has his own self-confidence, and he will not think that he can't even win against the current Japanese.
Of course, Chen Ping's question also gave Zhang Jiashi such a reminder. That is, in Jeju Island, even if there is no Xiao He in charge, there must be a person with the corresponding ability to be responsible for the overall work in this regard.
Zhang Jiashi thought about it for a long time and asked Cao Shen to be in charge of this aspect for the time being.
In Zhang Jiashi's heart, let Cao Shen temporarily manage these affairs, although there is also a feeling of overkill. But compared with Xiao He, Zhang Jiashi knows very well that in terms of internal politics, Xiao He is indeed much better than Cao Shen.
...................................................... Dividing Line................................................
This day, April 7, 208 B.C., became a major day for the Great Qin Empire to officially expand outward through the sea.
After less than a day's voyage, the fleet from Jeju Island arrived in the northwest waters of the Hakata region of later Japan, following the route of the charts that had been repeatedly examined repeatedly.
Of course, compared to the Hakata area of later generations, there are only a few fishing villages made of simple and low houses in this area today.
Outside the village, there is also a small amount of farmland, but from the eyes of these more poorly dressed Japanese, the large number of large ships that appear from the ocean makes them feel curious.
Perhaps, these aborigines living on the island of Kyushu do not understand what kind of concept the white-striped and black-background Xuanbird flags are hanging on some of the buildings and boats that open the road ahead.
When the Qin army troops who landed in some small boats pointed at them with the weapons in their hands, these ancestors of the Japanese Yamato clan knew that these big boats that made them curious were not their friends.
As more and more troops landed, Zhang Jiashi watched the situation in the landing area from a building ship.
For those Japanese who were tied up in one place and no one cared about them anymore, Zhang Jiashi did not have much interest in dealing with them like this.
Rather than doing this kind of thing, Zhang Jiashi hopes to be able to consolidate a landing area within today's time and build a relatively simple but relatively reliable camp.
Zhang Cang and Sun Po stood beside Zhang Jiashi, and after they glanced at each other, they both knew that the other party actually had quite doubts in their hearts.
Although they really didn't know why Zhang Jiashi was interested in this area, after all, at this time, except for a few people who could know that this area was inhabited and would not misunderstand why Penglai Immortal Island, most people didn't know that this place actually had such a big island.
It's just that after seeing the living standards of these people, Zhang Cang and Sun Po were not disappointed in their hearts? After all, this kind of living environment in a very backward area is probably not worth Zhang Jiashi's hard work.
Of course, Zhang Jiashi did not have any personal grudges to choose to attack the Kyushu Island region of Japan at this time, of course, Zhang Jiashi definitely did not have a good impression of Japan or anything, but Zhang Jiashi is not the kind of person with strange feelings, he sent troops to Kyushu Island, more in the hope of relying on the soil and geographical environment of Kyushu Island, to develop a stable granary.
And there is a situation that Zhang Jiashi has to pay attention to, that is, the geographical location of Kyushu Island is indeed quite superior, whether it is an all-out attack on other areas of Japan, or from the south of Kyushu Island along the Ryukyu Islands to Taiwan Island, Kyushu Island plays a very important role.
This is Zhang Jiashi's main idea.
At this time, Qin Min walked from behind Zhang Jiashi, clasped his fists at Zhang Jiashi and said, "My lord...... According to reports from personnel at the front, they do not appear to be able to locate anyone they can communicate with. ”
Zhang Jiashi didn't feel any surprise at Qin Min's words, on the contrary, it was strange to be able to find Japanese people who could understand the language of North Korea or Liaodong in such a small fishing village.
"It's okay, anyway, these people...... It is also suitable to work in the mines. A smile appeared on the corner of Zhang Jiashi's mouth.
That's right, for these Japanese people, who are basically equivalent to chickens and ducks, it is the best way to deal with them, and let them work in the most difficult and dangerous places.
The language barrier was one of the factors that caused Zhang Jiashi to lose patience, but the main factor was that Zhang Jiashi also changed his mentality in this regard after tasting the benefits of the population plundered from the Samhan region, especially the men as hard laborers.
Of course, for many reasons, Zhang Jiashi did not think that it was a good thing to let these Japanese, especially men, go directly to Liaodong County.
But it doesn't matter, anyway, there are quite a lot of mines, gold and silver mines in Japan. No matter how bad it is, it is also a good idea to let these Japanese go to various craters to collect sulfur and other resources.
......
The economic base of the Great Qin Empire was a very primitive gold standard system, and Zhang Jiashi planned to gradually use Japanese silver to change the corresponding economic base after he had enough silver in his hands and the corresponding strength that could change many things.
Copper coins or something, although it is also considered hard currency, but in many ways, there is a limit to the amount of copper coins a person can carry.
For example, a half-tael coin that has just been minted in good condition weighs eight grams. Then, a person carrying five or six thousand and a half taels worth about one piece of gold must weigh about forty or fifty kilograms, and it is obvious that this will not be of great benefit to the circulation of goods and economic development.
Of course, Zhang Jiashi didn't think about making banknotes directly, but Bai Qi warned him very directly that once he developed such a novel thing as banknotes at this time, it would definitely end up worrying.
Therefore, Zhang Jiashi had to choose the gold, silver and bronze three-level standard system that arose in the Sui and Tang dynasties and entered the peak in the middle of the Ming Dynasty.
Of course, under certain conditions and under the premise of reducing the corresponding cost, those pieces of silver ingots or gold cakes, forging into gold coins or silver coins, since it is beautiful, but also in many ways to reduce the shoddy, to solve some problems caused by this.
Perhaps, copper coins or something can also be used, but China is not a large country with rich copper reserves, and the structure of "Brother Kongfang" can indeed effectively avoid the waste of copper resources in some aspects.
Of course, Zhang Jiashi will not talk about this idea with the people around him now, after all, it is not a good time yet.
Japan has quite a lot of silver and gold reserves, and it is not a problem to use it as an economic structure that Zhang Jiashi plans to adjust. In particular, as one of the two largest sources of silver in China during the Ming and Qing dynasties, second only to the amount of silver and gold in South America, which traveled almost around the world for a week, Japan was very close to the Great Qin Empire.
However, Zhang Jiashi then thought of a problem, that is, except for the Ikuno Silver Mountain, Kurokawa Gold Mountain, and Sado Island, which are recorded in the Qingyu Spirit Book, Zhang Jiashi really did not know the corresponding situation of gold and silver mines in other parts of Japan......
Well, Zhang Jiashi has to think about a question, should he come to a direct point of the bottom of the kettle after officially controlling the Japanese region, and empty the entire gold and silver of Japan?
Of course, Zhang Jiashi is just thinking about it at this time, after all, for Zhang Jiashi, this idea is really long-term......
......
After a general survey of the area around the landing area, several teams of scouts were dispatched to confirm that there did not appear to be a Japanese ...... of a certain size in the area Well, whether the lord of the country or the lord or something, Zhang Jiashi doesn't have a concept of accuracy. After all, in Japan at this time, not to mention words, there is not even a more co-ordinated popular language, and Zhang Jiashi doesn't know what to do with these Japanese.
It's like the Japanese were able to deduce the 3,500 years of Emperor Shenma Shenmu, for this matter, Zhang Jiashi, who was boarding a small boat, had to directly whisper a bad thing: This matter is obviously nonsense......
The troops landed before the sun went down and built a relatively large makeshift camp outside the village.
And many of the officers and soldiers who spent the first night in this foreign country felt that they were more excited. After all, only a small number of these people have participated in the battle to attack Mizi Korea and the corresponding actions.
And Zhang Jiashi thoroughly understood the true meaning of a problem: curiosity kills cats.
Seeing the fish hanging on bamboo poles to dry, Zhang Jiashi was interested for a while and planned to try them......
As a result, Zhang Jiashi took a bite and squirted it out directly......
Under the strange eyes of Mo Yan'er and Ling'er's two sisters, Zhang Jiashi had to directly pick up the wine on the table and pour wine into his mouth to be able to hold back his nausea.
Zhang Jiashi couldn't imagine that the Japanese would be able to eat this thing.
Of course, Zhang Jiashi seems to have made something wrong, that is, the soldiers in the army did not do anything wrong, and those few fish were used to make fish soup.
However, Zhang Jiashi overlooked one point, that is, these things called bonito in later Japan are actually bonito and fish meat...... No matter how you do it, it's best not to cook it, otherwise, it will taste better raw than boiled.
And Zhang Jiashi, who has suffered such a big "loss", vowed never to touch Japanese food.
And Zhang Jiashi seems to have overlooked one point, that is, the Japanese cuisine of later generations mainly began to form gradually after the Tang Dynasty, and the current cooking method is almost the same as the original way, and the eight poles can't be beaten together.
Zhang Jiashi, who finished eating, did not ignore the Japanese who were arrested by him. Although it is true that the quality of these fishermen or farmers is not very good, it is not in the interests of Zhang Jiashi to let the other party starve to death like this.
It's just that Zhang Jiashi was really defeated by these Japanese. According to the feedback of Xiahou Ying, who was in charge of guarding these "captives", it was that these Japanese actually fought for these foods.
The officers and soldiers they sent to deliver food even had to intervene by force to stop such a turmoil.
Zhang Jiashi opened his mouth, not knowing what he should say, after all, such a thing was really unexpected by him.
He also knew very well that Xiahou Ying would not give some better food to these people, at best, he would just ask the soldiers in the army to make more soldier-level food and send it over.
But this can make such a farce, which is indeed unexpected by Zhang Jiashi.
He had to shake his head, and then said to Qin Min, who was also found by him: "Captain Qin, when you return tomorrow, bring everyone back, and let Cao Shen be responsible for arranging these people to accompany those three Hans." ”
Qin Min nodded, but then he seemed to remember something, he looked at Zhang Jiashi carefully, and thought for a while before clenching his fists and saying, "My lord, what should I do with the old and weak women and children among them?"
"......" Zhang Jiashi couldn't help but raise his brows when he heard this, he naturally didn't think that Qin Min was asking a meaningless question.
He looked at Qin Min for a while before saying, "These old people send someone to teach, and if they know each other, they will be assigned to clean up the streets, and if they don't know each other, let Xiao He watch it." If you are a child, put it in the market on the east side and see if anyone wants it, and it would be good to exchange some money. Female...... It's the same, but let Xiao He give me a strict check, if there is any problem, there is no need to show mercy to the other party. ”
"Whew!" After Qin Min heard Zhang Jiashi's instructions, he hurriedly clenched his fists and promised.
Qin Min and some officers of the Lou Boat Priest funded the opening of some Qin Lou Chu Pavilions in some places, but because the regional "competition" including Dingxiangcheng was too great, and Zhang Jiashi had always opposed things such as forcing good people to become prostitutes, and did not hesitate to strictly prohibit them, Qin Min and others, who had not received sufficient means of competition, could be said to have lost even their pants.
Of course, after Zhang Jiashi carried out the strategy of the Sanhan region, Qin Min, who was close to the water and got some "goods" first, gradually relied on these "goods" and began to reverse losses.
Qin Min knew very well that Zhang Jiashi asked him to say to Xiao He, a meritorious cao, in fact, a considerable part of it was for him.
Qin Min knew that Zhang Jiashi didn't care if the money of their subordinates came a little bit or not, but once Zhang Jiashi knew that they had violated the corresponding regulations, Zhang Jiashi would not say so much nonsense, and he would be punished directly.
It's like some time ago, that is, around the time of spring ploughing, Zhang Jiashi took refuge in a small Haoqiang who was the first to take refuge in him, because it was confirmed that he was forced to become a prostitute, and a lot of money was confiscated, and even the relevant personnel were punished by the boss.
Zhang Jiashi had two strict civil orders that were no less stringent than military discipline: Those who trafficked in children and women were to be punished! Officials who violated the law were punished with one degree of punishment.
Zhang Jiashi had a county magistrate under his command, and some time after the beginning of the year, it was found that the organization personnel were engaged in the trafficking of women and children, Zhang Jiashi did not say a word, and ordered Wang Ling to personally lead the army to that small county, and arrested the county magistrate and related personnel for interrogation.
As a result, the county magistrate and the county lieutenant were razed to the three clans, and a considerable number of small officials were beheaded and displayed to the public.
This was the first time that the three clans of Yi were carried out under Zhang Jiashi's command, and the most official behavior of the internal cleanup at one time.
If it weren't for Chen Ping's efforts to dissuade him, Zhang Jiashi wouldn't mind letting the officials under his command see what would happen if he violated the two things.
After glancing at Qin Min from the corner of her eye, Xiahou Ying sighed in her heart: "Some things are really not so easy to do. Brother Qin, you can do it yourself. ”
Xiahou Ying also knew that before Qin Min did this, Han Xin, who was familiar with Qin Min, had not dissuaded the other party. But Qin Min still chose such a path in the end, which made Han Xin very angry.
It is said that Han Xin did not communicate with Qin Min again after arguing with Qin Min.
Xiahou Ying didn't know if Zhang Jiashi knew about it, but he knew that people who were familiar with Zhang Jiashi's character would not touch these "private property".
Because as Han Xin said in the words that dissuaded Qin Min: "Even if you didn't mean to do so, but Brother Qin, can you watch these things all the time, and watch your subordinates not make mistakes for you?"
Xiahou Ying's friendship with Qin Min is average, but she doesn't want this colleague with his own future to anger Zhang Jiashi because of such a thing.
He knows very well that Zhang Jiashi looks very laissez-faire with them, and he also knows very well that there are some things about Zhang Jiashi that are indeed a little speechless, just like his official "human trafficking".
However, once Zhang Jiashi's bottom line is triggered, then, no one will save you. Because no one can save you.
......
Just as Xiahou Ying feared, on October 1, 200 BC, that is, at the head of a certain year after the rebirth of the Qin Empire, Zhang Jiashi, who presided over the Great Dynasty Meeting, directly dismissed Qin Min from all positions at the Great Dynasty Meeting.
The reason is because the private property operated by Qin Min was indeed found to be forced into prostitution.
Looking at the stacks of records that Zhang Jiashi threw directly in front of him, Qin Min knelt on the ground and couldn't cry.
Zhang Jiashi didn't say anything, but said a sentence: "The state has national laws, Qin Min, Gu Nian and your many years of credit, your family and orphans will take care of it." ”
This is also the highest-ranking important minister that Zhang Jiashi ordered to deal with in his life.
Because Qin Min's position at that time was the commander of the navy of the Great Qin Empire, he was crowned with the title of Marquis of Guannei.
