The arrival of Zhu Han and the Red Turban Army naturally aroused the vigilance and attention of the Japanese state, and soon reported the matter to the Japanese court in Yoshino.

"Their strength is very strong, there are many people, and the whereabouts of our emperor are unknown, so it must have something to do with these rebellious ministers and thieves of the Iwami Domain!"

"Troops must be sent!"

"Can't let them step into Yoshino half a step!"

The ministers of the Yoshino Imperial Court are gathering to discuss countermeasures.

According to the news that came out from the front, it seems that Emperor Gomurakami died in Iwami Domain.

However, the people of the Japanese country believed that the emperor was a god, so how could he die so easily!

It must be the rebellious ministers and thieves of the Iwami Domain, who deliberately released false news to disturb people's hearts.

Facing the chaotic court, Prince Kuancheng, who was sitting on the top seat, was only ten years old, and he didn't understand anything at all, so he suddenly fell into a panic and didn't know what to do.

"Gentlemen, please be calm! I can personally lead an army of 8,000 to repel these traitors!

”

At this moment, a figure in a white robe walked out of the crowd.

"It's Master Shirai!"

"It turns out that Master Shirai is actually here!"

"It's great, with his help, we can successfully deal with these damn Iwami clan rebels!"

Seeing this figure coming out, the surrounding ministers began to discuss.

This man who came out was the famous White House master of the Wa Kingdom, whose name was Shirai Shou, who was the most relied on by Emperor Gomurakami of the Wa Kingdom, and was also the teacher of Emperor Gomurakami of the Wa Kingdom.

If it is in Huaxia, it is almost equivalent to the Taishi in the Three Princes.

The 8,000-strong army was basically all the troops directly under the Imperial Court of Yoshino, and if some surrounding peasants were recruited, they would be able to gather between 15,000 and 20,000.

"Master Shirai, then please!"

Prince Kansei, who was in charge of the country, was persuaded by a group of ministers to immediately entrust military power to Master Shirai.

"Qishan Palace, please rest assured, the minister will definitely kill the enemy who came to attack and find out the whereabouts of His Majesty the Emperor!" Master Shirai said confidently.

On the coast fifty miles away from Yoshino, the naval army led by Zhu Han had completed the landing, and the local Japanese army organized an attack of more than 1,000 people, which was killed by Chang Yuchun and Lan Yu with 200 cavalry, and no Japanese dared to approach after that.

According to Zhu Han's plan, after the Red Turban Army established a stronghold here, it would continue to march towards Yoshino Castle, and then attack Yoshino Castle, and raise up a cooperative Emperor of the Southern Dynasty to ensure the interests of the Iwami Domain, and then they could calmly withdraw and return.

After all, Zhu Han did not have the time to seize the land of the Japanese kingdom that was so poor that he had no time to seize it at this time.

"My lord, the secret agent from the front has come to report that the Yoshino Imperial Court has sent a large army to attack." Hojo Yoshima hurriedly came to report to Zhu Han.

"How many soldiers and horses are coming?"

"There are about fifteen thousand people, of which there are two thousand armor soldiers, three thousand archers, and the rest are ashigaru."

Hojo Yoshishin reported all the news he had one by one.

"It seems that they haven't figured out the situation yet, they sent it to the door, and we just happened to kill them in one fell swoop!" Zhu Han heard Hojo Yoshishin's answer, a sneer rose at the corner of his mouth, and then ordered the army to continue to advance.

In this world, there is nothing that money cannot buy, and even more so in a barren place like the Wa Kingdom.

Zhu Han marched this time, bringing with him the 5,000 newly recruited Japanese soldiers of the Iwami Domain, and after eating more than ten days of white rice, these Iwami Domain's Japanese soldiers were all full of strength, and were arranged by Zhu Han to be used as cannon fodder in the front of the army.

For this cannon fodder army, Zhu Han gave them a domineering name.

'Iwami Emperor Song Cooperative Army', can also be referred to as 'Iwami Emperor Cooperative Army', a certain military state system, which happens to be the old regulation of the Great Song Dynasty, and the feudal lord Hojo Yoshima served as the Iwami Emperor's Cooperative Army.

After all, the Japanese army from Yoshino has a large number of archers, and it is not good to shoot and wound the soldiers of the Red Turban Army, so first use the Iwami Imperial Army to consume the bows and arrows and strength of the Yoshino Japanese army.

What Zhu Han never expected was that the Japanese people of the Iwami Domain did not have a clear understanding of their cannon fodder duties.

After marching for half a day, the 5,000 Ishimi Imperial Allied Army led by Hojo Yoshishin immediately encountered the Japanese army of the Southern Dynasty from Yoshino.

Hojo Yoshima, as a striker, wanted to show his bravery and loyalty in front of Zhu Han, so after sending someone to transmit information to the rear, he personally led the army to launch a surprise attack, anyway, there were less than a thousand people on the opposite side, so he didn't have to worry about defeat at all.

Hojo Yoshima turned on his horse, brandished his spear and shouted, "Kill the traitor, kill!" ”

The thousands of stones under his command saw the Emperor's Cooperative Army, and immediately followed the call.

"Onboard!"

"Kill!"

"Onboard, onboard!"

A group of Iwami Imperial Allied troops rushed into the Yoshino Japanese army.

This Yoshino Japanese army was led by Shirai Shou himself, and he wanted to test the strength of the Iwami Domain's rebels first.

Originally, in the eyes of these Yoshino Japanese soldiers, the rebels of the Iwami Domain should be just a bunch of unarmed ordinary people, and there was no threat at all.

So seeing them rushing all the way over, I didn't have the slightest scruples.

However, when they came into contact with the 'Iwami rebels', they found that these people were not as simple as they seemed on the surface, because the armor and weapons of the Iwami Emperor's allied army were all equipment of the Red Turban Army, although they basically belonged to the backward equipment of the Red Turban Army, but the actual combat effect was not bad at all.

Even, the weapons and equipment worn by these people in the Iwami Emperor's Allied Army completely exceeded the imagination of the Yoshino Japanese army, which can be said to be a luxury!

All the soldiers of the Iwami Imperial Association were armed with a spear or a simple sword, and they wore a cloth iron plate armor, which looked inconspicuous, but its defensive power far surpassed that of the Japanese bamboo armor.

Seeing such a weapon, the Yoshino Japanese army couldn't help but feel strong jealousy and fear in their hearts, and they realized that the Iwami rebels were definitely not that simple.

"Onboard ~~~!"

Hojo Yoshishin brandished a spear, led his subordinates, and frantically killed Shirai Shou and others.

Shirai Shou didn't contain a lake, so he directly took out a Japanese knife and shouted, "Kill ~~~!" ”

The two sides are still fighting together.

The soldiers of the 'Imperial Allied Army' on Hojo Yoshishin's side were all wearing armor and the weapons in their hands were all spears and swords, while Shirai Shou's men were all light infantry, and the weapons they used were all bows and crossbows, and it was difficult to cause major damage to the Iwami Imperial Allied Army.

After the confrontation between the two sides, the Yoshino Wa army suffered a terrible blow, and the corpses that kept falling made Shirai Shou, the first general of the Wa Kingdom, shocked, he did not expect the Iwami rebels to be so powerful.

"Retreat! Fall back~~! ”

Shirai Shou shouted in a panic and wanted to lead his army to flee from these terrible enemies.

However, the Iwami Emperor's allied army, which had eaten white rice for more than ten days, became more and more brave the more they fought, and when they saw the defeat of the Yoshino Japanese army, they even screamed and chased after them.

"Rush!"

Iwami was a Japanese soldier of the Imperial Alliance, and they took their swords one after another and killed the enemy in front.

Shirai Shou took the remaining hundreds of soldiers and quickly fled to the rear.

On the way to retreat, they left behind dead and wounded Japanese troops along the way.

......

"Report to your lordship, the army of the Yoshino Imperial Family was found in front!"

"Report to your lordship, the Iwami Imperial Alliance Army is facing the enemy!"

"Report to your lord, the Iwami Imperial Alliance Army has repelled the enemy and is pursuing!"

One piece of information came to Zhu Han.

"Haha...."

After hearing this information, Zhu Han couldn't help laughing, the combat strength of the Yoshino Southern Dynasty Japanese army was so scumbag, it really surprised him.

"Send the coffin of Emperor Gomurakami to Hojo Yoshishin, and let the Iwami Emperor Allied Army escort their Emperor's coffin into Yoshino Castle!" Zhu Han ordered loudly.

In order to establish a puppet Japanese regime in Yoshino, it is necessary not only to have a strong military deterrent, but also to have a reasonable name.

Holding the coffin of the Emperor of the Japanese Kingdom to beg for a thief is very suitable.

Soon, the Iwami Emperor's allied army led by Hojo Yoshishin approached near the main force of the Southern Dynasty Japanese army.

The 5,000 Imperial Allies swaggered in front of the 15,000 Southern Dynasty Japanese Army!

"Bold traitors, dare to trespass on the emperor's station, are you tired of being crooked!" When Shirai Shou saw this Shijian Emperor Army, he couldn't help but feel a burst of heart in his heart, and couldn't help but roar angrily.

"Hmph, rebellious ministers and thieves, the person who colluded with Onishi Shengqing to kill His Majesty the Emperor must be you! I'm going to send you on your way today! Hojo Yoshima said arrogantly, and the spear in his hand pointed at Shirai Shou.

At this time, the Yoshino Japanese army on the opposite side found that the Iwami Emperor Cooperative Army had walked out pushing a huge coffin, which was also covered with a robe embroidered with chrysanthemum patterns, which was the one that Emperor Gomurakami wore when he died.

In an instant, the entire Yoshino Japanese army fell into a panic and panic.

The emperor is dead!?

And it seems that he was still killed!

This simply made the Yoshino Japanese army have no intention of fighting.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Hojo Yoshishin led the Iwami Emperor's allied army and immediately launched a fierce attack.

When Shirai Shou saw the fierce attack of this Ishimi Emperor's Army, his heart suddenly sank, and he knew that he had encountered a hard stubble today.

"Imperial Army, avenge His Majesty the Emperor!" Hojo Yoshima shouted loudly.

"It's dark! Onboard! ”

"It's dark and it's onboard!"

Suddenly, the 'white rice' soldiers of the Iwami Emperor's Allied Army were all crazy, and they rushed forward with spears and knives.

Although the Japanese soldiers under Shirai Shou were all elite Japanese soldiers, they were unable to resist the wolf-like Iwami Emperor's army, and they were soon killed and abandoned their armor.

Iwami saw that the morale of the Imperial Association army was high, and he continued to rush forward.

"Rush me! Kill all these thieves! Hojo yelled.

"Enter Yoshino Castle!"

"Onboard!"

............

Shirai Shou led the Southern Dynasty Japanese army to rout and fled towards Yoshino Castle, originally thinking that he was chopping melons and vegetables, but he didn't think that he was a melon and vegetables.

When Zhu Han led the army to arrive, except for the corpses of the Southern Dynasty Japanese soldiers left on the battlefield, there was no longer a single Southern Korean Japanese army.

"These would-be robbers, kill all the captives?" Chang Yuchun said with some surprise, he saw that many Iwami Emperor's troops on the battlefield were cutting and killing wounded soldiers, and he didn't have the slightest pity.

"Hehe, this is the nature of the wolf."

Zhu Han smiled coldly, anyway, the people who died were all the Japanese Kou's own people, and he didn't care at all whether he kept the prisoners or not.

"They are as fierce as wild beasts, and they must be more vigilant in the future!" Lan Yu couldn't help but say.

"As long as we hold the knives and guns in our hands, we are not afraid that they will dare to make mistakes!" Zhu Han patted Lan Yu's shoulder and said.

At this time, Hojo Yoshima, who won a big victory, also ran over in a hurry.

"My lord, the villain defeated the thief army general Shirai Shou, and there is no obstacle outside Yoshino Castle!" Hojo Yoshima said as he knelt on the ground.

"Okay, 5,000 to 10,000, you have a lot of credit!" Zhu Han nodded and praised Hojo Yoshima, "Wait until Yoshino Castle is captured, and let you be the great imperial guard of the Wa Kingdom!" ”

When Hojo Yoshima heard this, his eyes immediately lit up, his ancestors were the great nobles of the Kamakura Shogunate, and now if he becomes a great guard, it will far exceed the official status of his ancestors.

However, although Yoshino's Southern Dynasty Japanese army was defeated, after they fled into Yoshino Castle, they still did not surrender obediently, but relied on the castle to resist to the end.

Moreover, the defeated Japanese soldiers also brought bad news that made the Japanese people despair.

"His Majesty the Emperor has died!"

"His Majesty the Emperor has been murdered by traitors from the Iwami Domain!"

"Iwami deserves to be punished by heaven!"

"Damn Iwami Domain thief!"

.......

Hearing the news of the killing of the Emperor of the Japanese Kingdom, the Japanese people in Yoshino Castle immediately fell into extreme anger and fear.

"Damn Iwami! Damn the Chinese dog! I want to avenge Your Majesty! ”

"Kill all these despicable traitors!"

"Kill! Kill! Kill! ”

"Kill the dog minions of the Ishimi Domain!"

......

The shouts of the Japanese people in Yoshino Castle have even reached outside the castle.

Zhu Han, who arrived with the army, was not too worried, anyway, the Japanese army had already become a turtle in the urn, and they couldn't make any waves.

......

At the same time, inside Yoshino Castle.

Shirai Shou knelt on the ground with a reverent face, and led the bureaucrats and nobles of the Wa Kingdom to persuade Prince Kannari to immediately ascend the throne to inherit the throne, and then encouraged the residents of Yoshino Castle to defend the castle and wait for reinforcements from all over the country to come to King Qin.

However, Shirai Shou's words did not cause any reaction from Prince Kannari at all.

Prince Kansei, who was only ten years old, stood aside with a blank face, looked at Shirai Shou who was kneeling on the ground, and turned his head to look at his mother, Concubine Fujiwara.

Concubine Fujiwara was born in a famous family, and she was the favorite concubine of Emperor Gomurakami, because her son Prince Kansei was young, and all decisions were made by Concubine Fujiwara.

"Shirai Shou, can you hold Yoshino Castle?" Concubine Fujiwara asked with a serious face.

Shirai Shou, who had just returned from a big defeat, was still very hard-mouthed at this time.

"Yoshino Castle is impregnable and can definitely be defended, please rest assured!" Shirai Shou said.

Concubine Fujiwara is worried that once her son inherits the position of emperor, she will not be able to live when Yoshino Castle is broken!

The rebels of the Iwami clan even killed Emperor Gomurakami, not to mention a young emperor.

"Okay, then prepare ,,,, immediately"

Concubine Fujiwara just nodded and was about to agree, suddenly!

A loud thunderclap rang out from outside Yoshino Castle.

"What's going on?" Shirai Shou asked with a puzzled expression.

"Oh no, the siege has begun, the Iwami Clan rebels have begun to attack the city!" A Japanese man hurriedly rushed into the main hall to report.

Hearing the report of the Japanese people, the imperial concubines, princes, and ministers present were all dumbfounded.

Are these Iwami rebels so strong that they just rushed outside the city and began to attack the city?

Don't the rebels even need to make siege equipment?

"Don't panic, I'll personally supervise the battle!" Shirai Shou commanded loudly.

Concubine Fujiwara and the ministers of the Japanese Kingdom were also full of doubts, and they followed Shirai Shou to the city wall.

They wanted to see for themselves how the Iwami rebels outside the castle were attacking the castle.

Thundered!

Thundered!

Outside Yoshino Castle, a series of violent explosions resounded through the sky, deafening and shocking.

On the ground below, heavy siege guns continued to fire shells and landed on Yoshino Castle, smashing the walls above Yoshino Castle into large craters and flying rubble and earth in all directions.

"Ahh

On the city wall, several Japanese people could not dodge, and were hit by a cannonball, and were immediately beaten into pulp, and blood flew on the city wall.

Such a scene is too scary.

The ministers of the Wa Kingdom, the princes and nobles on the city wall covered their mouths and noses one after another, staring at the Iwami Domain's army under the city wall with a frightened expression!

They were so scared that they had never seen such powerful artillery at all!

"Boom!"

Another cannonball fell on the city wall, and the city wall shook when it exploded, and a large number of Japanese people fell on the city wall.

Concubine Fujiwara and the others immediately collapsed to the ground in fright, and the ministers and samurai were not much better, and they all knelt on the ground in fright.

The defenders of the entire Yoshino Castle completely broke their will to resist under the first round of bombardment by the Red Turban Army's heavy siege artillery.

Many of the soldiers on Yoshino Castle fled, leaving only a large section of the void.

Zhu Han took in all this outside the city and immediately realized that this was a good opportunity.

"Yoshima Hojo!" Zhu Han shouted.

"My lord, I am humble!" Hojo Yoshima hurriedly answered.

Zhu Han pointed to Yoshino Castle in front of him with his hand, "Send someone to persuade them to surrender, give them half an hour to consider opening the door and surrendering, otherwise there will be no chickens and dogs left after the city is broken!" ”

"Yes, my lord!" Hojo Yoshima said loudly.

Subsequently, Hojo Yoshimasa himself led a team of soldiers and horses to Yoshino Castle to persuade him to surrender.

The soldiers defending the city had already been frightened stupidly, and after hearing the surrender, no one spoke against it.

Even Shirai Shou, who claimed to be the first general of Yamato, was pale and acquiesced without speaking.

"Peace! Talk about peace! ”

Concubine Fujiwara hugged her son Kuancheng and said loudly.

"Hello!" The general defending the city replied loudly.

As a result, the Red Turban Army led by Zhu Han successfully captured Yoshino Castle in only half an hour after a round of artillery bombardment.

"Hahaha, take it, take it so easily!"

The generals of the Red Turban Army laughed.

"Congratulations on the victory!"

"Hahaha, the deputy marshal is mighty!"

"Long live the adults!"

A group of soldiers congratulated Zhu Han one after another.

"Hahaha, good! Let the magnates of Yoshino come out of the city to meet me! ”

"Yes! My lord! Hojo Yoshimako.

Soon after, Concubine Fujiwara of the Southern Dynasty of the Wa Kingdom took Prince Kannari and surrendered out of the castle accompanied by ministers such as Shirai Shou and Fujiwara Tadayoshi.

They came to the Red Turban Army and knelt on the ground to show their submission.

Concubine Fujiwara was extremely panicked and frightened at this time, looking at the Central Plains man in front of her, she didn't know what the fate of herself and her son was.

Concubine Fujiwara, Shirai Shou and others all know that the Central Plains person in front of them is the real controller behind Iwami Domain.

"Roar! If you are willing to surrender, it is a great good citizen! ”

Zhu Han looked proudly at a group of little devils kneeling on the ground, and couldn't help but be very happy in his heart, the Southern Dynasty with a small territory and weak troops was willing to surrender obediently, which would save him a lot of trouble.

"Sinner Fujiwara, I beg Lord Kamikuni to spare the lives of our mother and son!" Concubine Fujiwara couldn't help but plead, and Hojo Yoshima on the side translated.

"Hmmm! Your son is lovely! Zhu Han smiled and touched the round head of Prince Kuancheng, and praised, "Your mother and son can inherit the throne of the Japanese under the protection of our Red Turban Army with peace of mind, and I can guarantee that our Red Turban Army is absolutely merciful!" ”

"Yes, yes! Thank you, Lord Heaven! Thank you, Lord Heaven! ”

Concubine Fujiwara kowtowed again and again in gratitude.

Now that Yoshino Castle has surrendered, it will be necessary to find someone to bear the blame for the death of Emperor Murakami, and outsiders in the province will question the legitimacy of the Southern Dynasty of the Japanese Kingdom because of this incident.

"Shirai Shou! colluded with the remnants of the Northern Dynasty and harmed His Majesty the Emperor, and immediately beheaded him for public display! ”

Under Zhu Han's instructions, a group of Japanese ministers led by Shirai Shou were all cut off from their heads.

Subsequently, a large number of Iwami Domain's Imperial Allied Army and Goryeo's Eight Banners Army entered Yoshino Castle and completely controlled the castle defenses, and Zhu Han appointed Hojo Yoshimasa as the Great Imperial Guard of the Wa Kingdom, and concurrently served as the lord of the Iwami Domain, and assisted the newly ascended Prince Kansei of Zuo.

And Zhu Han led the main force of the Red Turban Army to be stationed on the seaside, and the Imperial Concubine Fujiwara and his son Prince Kancheng were in the camp of the Red Turban Army.

According to Zhu Han's request, after the feudal lords of various regions came to Yoshino Castle to meet the new Wa king, the Red Turban Army would leave, leaving behind the plenipotentiary representative of Hojo Yoshishin.

In the camp of the Red Turban Army, the surviving Fujiwara clan wearing a black robe was eating with his son Prince Kansei, when suddenly, there was a coughing sound outside, her face changed, and she quickly stood up and ran towards the door.

"Grandma, where are you going?" Prince Kuancheng hurriedly asked.

Fujiwara replied without replying: "Grandma has something to go out, you stay in the big tent first, Grandma will come back soon, okay?" ”

"Oh!" Kuancheng Prince Road.

Fujiwara nodded hurriedly, turned around and ran out.

After leaving the camp, the Fujiwara clan came to a luxurious camp.

In this, Zhu Han was leisurely cooking wine.

"Meet your lord!" Fujiwara's face was flushed, and he knelt on the ground and whispered in broken Chinese.

When Zhu Han saw this Fujiwara clan, he smiled playfully, who could refuse a man who looked like Aragaki Yui - his wife!

"Madam, you've come to me again to learn a foreign language!"

"Yes!" Fujiwara smiled softly.

"Madame, do you remember what I said to you?" Zhu Han asked.

"Yes, the slave remembers, as long as the slave and the maid obey the adult, then you can get your protection!" Fujiwara said shyly.

"Hahaha! Madame is really smart! I don't like women who are too smart, though! Zhu Han said with a smile.

"Slaves don't dare! Slaves are stupid! Fujiwara said hurriedly.

"Hehehe, don't worry, madam, you are obedient to the good people, and the benefits are great!" Zhu Han smiled and said in a translation tone.

"Slave must work hard!" Of course, Fujiwara knows how to behave as 'well-behaved'.

.......

Outside Yoshino Castle, after several days of in-depth exchanges between Zhu Han and Concubine Fujiwara, the feudal lords of the Southern Dynasty of the Wa Kingdom finally came to Yoshino Castle to meet the new Wa King, and all the charges for killing Emperor Gomurakami were naturally thrown on the head of Shirai Shou and the Muromachi Shogunate of the Northern Dynasty.

No one dared to question the status of the Iwami feudal lord and the Red Turban Army, because more than a dozen huge artillery traces on the Yoshino city wall were still hideously preserved!

If the feudal lords of the Wa Kingdom dare to disobey them, they should be prepared to be baptized by artillery fire.

This sentence frightened those feudal lords!

These feudal lords didn't dare to take risks, you know, they were all small feudal lords, and even the Iwami Domain's Onishi Morikiyo was wiped out in World War I, and no one dared to take risks.

Therefore, they all honestly took refuge in the Red Turban Army, that is, they respected the puppet Kuancheng Prince, and now the Emperor Changkei of the Wa Kingdom.

During this period, Hojo Yoshishin and Fujiwara Tadayoshi took over the affairs of the Wakoku, of which Fujiwara Tadayoshi was the father of Concubine Fujiwara and was responsible for the internal affairs of the Yoshino Wakoku court, while Hojo Yoshimasa was stationed in the Iwami Domain, controlling a large number of Iwami Emperor Allied Army, mainly responsible for digging silver mines for Zhu Han!

"The Legend of the Fairy Tree"

Therefore, they all honestly took refuge in the Red Turban Army, that is, they respected the puppet Kuancheng Prince, and now the Emperor Changkei of the Wa Kingdom.

During this period, Hojo Yoshishin and Fujiwara Tadayoshi took over the affairs of the Wakoku, of which Fujiwara Tadayoshi was the father of Concubine Fujiwara and was responsible for the internal affairs of the Yoshino Wakoku court, while Hojo Yoshimasa was stationed in the Iwami Domain, controlling a large number of Iwami Emperor Allied Army, mainly responsible for digging silver mines for Zhu Han!

Because of the mineral coordinates and latitude and longitude determination method that Zhu Han had mastered for a long time, a large number of mining craftsmen from Jiangnan quickly found the location of the silver mine in the territory of the Iwami Domain.

The first silver ingots were mined very quickly!

That's 500,000 taels of silver, which is just the first batch of silver ore production!

"Great, it's finally time to mint silver coins!" Zhu Han looked at the silver ingots that were being loaded onto the ship, and couldn't help but think proudly.

"Report! My lord, the feudal lords of the Southern Dynasty of the Wa Kingdom and the feudal lords of the Wa Kingdom from all over the country are asking to see you! At this time, there was a report from Hojo Yoshishin outside.

"Let them in!" Zhu Han said with a smile.

A moment later, the lord of the Wa Kingdom walked into the big tent.

"Your Excellency!"

A group of Japanese feudal lords knelt on the ground like slaves.

"Rise up, everybody! The Iwami clan recruits craftsmen, and if you send a laborer, you can get ten koku of rice every year, and until the laborer dies or goes home, there will also be ten koku of rice compensation! Zhu Han smiled and waved his hand.

These feudal lords also laughed along, this deal is too good a deal.

The land of the Wa country is barren, and a farmer cannot grow ten stone of white rice in a year.

But now they can earn ten stones of white rice, which is even happier for these people than eating the elixir!

"My lord, I am willing to contribute a thousand laborers." At this time, a Japanese man in a black robe suddenly said.

The other feudal lords of the Wa Kingdom are all glaring angrily, this is obviously a quota grab!

That's 1,000 stone of rice a year!

In case there are only a few thousand people, wouldn't he have robbed most of the white rice share?

Therefore, the other feudal lords of the Wa Kingdom immediately followed suit and said, "My lord, the minister is willing to contribute 2,000 people. ”

"The minister is also willing to contribute two thousand men."

"My lord, the minister is willing to contribute 2,000 people."

......

Seeing them so enthusiastic, Zhu Han couldn't help but nod secretly, these people are all good, they are all talents!

As long as the various feudal lords sent people, Zhu Han was confident that he would raise a large number of Japanese people to lead the way.

"Okay, you only need to transport the strong men in your own territory, and I can guarantee that within a month, I will be able to provide you with 100,000 stone white rice!" Zhu Han said.

"Your Excellency is wise!" The crowd shouted loudly.

"Don't worry, General Ben is what he says, and the food will definitely be ready in a month." Zhu Han said loudly.

As soon as they heard that the food was properly prepared, the faces of these lords of the Japanese kingdom already showed happy expressions.

"Your Excellency is wise!"

......

A group of people chimed in.

"Haha, don't worry, you will be my Red Turban Army's good helper in the country in the future, and I will definitely not treat you badly!" Zhu Han said with a smile.

"Thank you, sir!"

"Thank you, sir!"

The problem of the silver mines of the Iwami Domain only needs to leave Lan Yu to lead a thousand Red Turban troops to station here to monitor.

Zhu Hanqin led the rest of his troops back to Jinling, Jiangnan.

The news that 500,000 taels of silver had been shipped back to Jinling soon spread throughout Jinling City.

After countless Jiangnan soldiers and people heard the news, they all showed fascinated eyes.

"Five hundred thousand taels of silver!"

"In just one month, 500,000 taels of silver were mined, how much silver did you have to mine in that year!"

"King Wu has the big silver mine of the Wa Kingdom, I'm afraid that the little Jinling can't trap this real dragon!"

"The world is chasing deer, and the artifact has not yet been mastered!"

Everyone is already aware......

Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Han brothers will definitely not stop in Jiangnan.

At this time, the day after Zhu Han led the expeditionary fleet back to Jinling, Liu Futong and Han Lin'er, the leaders of the Northern Red Turban Army, sent someone to send an urgent document.

"Report! King Wu, eight hundred miles urgent! A herald from the Wu Palace's mansion hurriedly came in to report.

Zhu Han and his elder brother Zhu Yuanzhang were discussing the matter of minting silver coins, and they immediately stopped talking and looked at the herald officer.

The elder brother Zhu Yuanzhang asked: "What kind of military situation, talk about it!" ”

"King Wu, Kaifeng is in a hurry! Tartar Chahan and others combined 200,000 troops to surround Kaifeng, Prime Minister Liu Cheng was defeated in three battles, Kaifeng was in danger, and an urgent document was issued, wanting to let King Wu send troops to relieve the siege! ”

Hearing the news, Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Han were slightly stunned.

None of them thought that as the leader of the Northern Red Turban Army, Liu Futong would be defeated so quickly this time.

"It's only been a month or two, and Kaifeng can't hold it?" Zhu Han's face was embarrassed.

Once Kaifeng is lost, the Red Turban Army will inevitably fall into a huge defeat, and there will also be a countercurrent to the great cause of the anti-Yuan Dynasty in the world.

However, Zhu Han is now busy with the issuance of silver coins, and the Jiangnan Red Turban Army is also busy with the reorganization of the new army, so it is really not a good time to send troops.

"Okay, we got it!" Zhu Yuanzhang took the urgent report, frowned and waved his hand.

The herald immediately turned and left.

"Brother, what should we do?" Zhu Han asked with a frown.

"Don't worry about it for now, let's see what tricks the Tartars want to play, and I'll talk about it later!" Zhu Yuanzhang said surgingly.

"Well, my brother is right!"

Zhu Han agreed with Zhu Yuanzhang's decision.

Although Zhu Yuanzhang is not very old, because of Zhu Han's help in military strategy and ruling ability, it can be said that he has reached the level that he should have in history, and he will not be stumped by the reputation of loyalty and righteousness of those vain heads.

"There is a huge Kaifeng Bianliang City, as long as you stick to the city, plus there are so many grain and grass in the city that we support, it is definitely not so easy to be attacked!" Zhu Yuanzhang said.

Zhu Han nodded, and also agreed with this statement, the Kaifeng Red Turban Army hoarded a large amount of grain and grass in the city, all of which were sent by the elder brother Zhu Yuanzhang to support from Jiangnan.

"Seventy-five, by the way, where did you just come from?" Brother Zhu Yuanzhang pulled back the topic and said.

Zhu Han smiled lightly, "Brother, I just said that now that we have the Waguo Silver Mine, we don't have to worry about lack of money anymore, and we should reorganize the army." ”

"Adaptation? Let's divide the fields and pay the sergeants now, they are all very high in morale, how else do they need to adapt? "Brother Zhu Yuanzhang was a little confused.

"Brother, in this world, the most lacking is corruption, now we are the government soldier and military household system, to the soldiers and officers to distribute land, one generation and two generations are fine, they are all born and died brothers, if three or four generations later, the officers and generals, I am afraid they will try their best to encroach on the land and property of the soldiers, at that time, the soldiers' land is encroached upon, the military salary is swallowed, where is there any combat effectiveness!" Zhu Han said with a serious face.

"So tell me how you plan to change it?" The elder brother Zhu Yuanzhang thought for a while, and felt that what Zhu Han said made sense, so he nodded.

Zhu Han's distrust of the military household system is definitely in line with historical development.

Historically, the military household system of the Ming Dynasty quickly degenerated into a dependency relationship of the landed population with the corruption of middle- and upper-level officers, and a large number of military households became serfs of officers, living a poor life without food and clothing, and it was really difficult for them to expect them to go into battle to kill the enemy.

"From now on, the military household system will no longer be implemented, the original military merit grant land can be retained, and the original military household will also be retained, but the ownership of the land is only the heir of the military household, and it cannot be divided and transferred. Zhu Han said.

When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he immediately gasped.

This move can be described as a bold move!

Many soldiers of the Red Turban Army are fighting desperately, but they just want to leave some property for themselves and future generations, and if the military merit field can also be confiscated, it will definitely affect the morale of the army!

"Seventy-five, this method is a bit excessive, right?!" Zhu Yuanzhang pondered for a moment and said.

"Brother, once the fields are distributed, it will be difficult to be managed by the above, and for those military households whose military skills are not qualified, it is also appropriate to confiscate their fields!" Zhu Han said.

"Then where will the morale of our soldiers come from?" Zhu Yuanzhang wondered.

"Brother, that's exactly what I want to change! We must organize and train a new army, and a thorough new army is not only a new army that uses muskets and artillery, but also a perfect military salary, logistical supply, staff system, and military management! ”

All these things Zhu Han said are the basic elements of the modern army, and the modern army relies on the construction of a perfect system, so that even in the most disadvantageous situation, an army can still maintain a certain combat effectiveness, and will not be as extremely low as the lower limit of the feudal army.

Regarding the changes in this, the elder brother Zhu Yuanzhang did not have a deep understanding at this time, and hurriedly began to ask Zhu Han about the details and key points.

Zhu Han explained to Zhu Yuanzhang in detail the structure of the modern army, as well as logistics and supply, military management, military tactics, etc.

After listening to this, Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes became brighter and brighter, this kind of military reform is undoubtedly very useful, and it can completely turn any group of ordinary people into a strong army!

"Seventy-five, since that's the case, let's do what you said!" Brother Zhu Yuanzhang said with satisfaction.

"Brother, military change is a major event after all, you can't be reckless, I'll pilot a part of the army first, completely adopt the new army system, and practice first." Zhu Han said.

Now is not a peaceful time, surrounded by forces from all sides, Zhu Han wants to reform the military and does not want to affect the current military combat strength.

"Well, let's just serve you as you are safe, just do what you say, if you need money, food or something, just look for Li Shanchang." Brother Zhu Yuanzhang said.

"Okay, brother!"

The biggest difference between Zhu Han's modern army and the classical army is naturally in the organizational structure and material supply.

The organizational structure of the classical army mainly relies on the personal ability of the generals, while the modern army relies on strict military discipline and middle and lower-level officers, which requires a large number of backbone officers, who can not only train soldiers in accordance with military requirements, but also ensure the basic cultural level, such as understanding the deployment of the army, knowing how to calculate the army's march planning and supply distribution, rather than the reckless warriors of the middle and lower officers of the classical army.

As for the supply of materials, it is even more different, the supply of grain and grass in the classical army often has no strict regulations, only need to transport the grain to the front, then it is considered a qualified quartermaster, as for how much ink or quality, as long as the soldiers do not have a strong protest, often no one will be held accountable.

The material supply of the modern army can basically be specific to the data of each meal, and there is a strict hierarchy system according to the rank of each soldier, which makes it difficult for officers from top to bottom to deduct greed.

According to his own plan, Zhu Han told his elder brother Zhu Yuanzhang that he would first set up a new army as a pilot, and the number was set at about 15,000 people, and except for a small number of elites of the Longxing Army, all the rest were newly recruited soldiers.

Regarding the reorganization of Zhu Han's new army, Zhu Yuanzhang also had great expectations and agreed without hesitation.

Zhu Han first found Li Shanchang and asked him to concurrently serve as the logistics chief of the New Army.

"Deputy marshal, what kind of official is this chief?" Li Shanchang asked with a puzzled expression.

He is now the general manager of Wu Wangfu and the chief of the march, and he belongs to the strategist who grasps the military, political and logistics, and he doesn't understand the logistics chief of the new army made by Zhu Han at all, obviously they are all soldiers under the command of Zhu Yuanzhang, the king of Wu, and his original general affairs are not enough? What are you doing?

Get another Rausch logistics chief.

"Mr. Li, because my new army and the original Longxing Army and the Model Army do not need a set of logistics supplies, they must be operated separately, so naturally a new official position needs to be established." Zhu Han said.

In Zhu Han's plan, all armies will implement a more specialized logistics system in the future, and now let Li Shanchang concurrently serve as the chief of logistics, which is also to slowly let his subordinate officials adapt and train in advance.

"Sun and Moon"

"I see!" Li Shan nodded knowingly.

"In that case, then I will temporarily be in charge of the logistics chief of this new army, and I will gradually increase the number of personnel in this area in the future!" Li Shanchang said.
