"Hai Rigu, a leg of mutton?" Wu carried a leg of lamb that had just been decomposed from the roasted whole lamb, came to Hairigu, and said with a smile, "With cumin, it's delicious." ”

"Phew!" Hai Rigu spat out a mouthful of thick phlegm, "Traitor." ”

Wu Jiaotan was not angry, because Hai Rigu did not spit on him.

It can be seen that Hai Rigu's subconscious actually cherishes the childhood friendship between the two.

At the age of seventeen, he went to Liaoxi to enlist and became a member of his ancestral family, and before that he had been living in the Gongtu Department and getting along with the people of the Zodiac and Hairigu.

"Don't be so angry." Wu Jiaotan said with a smile, "It's a big injury." ”

"Phew!" Hai Rigu was obviously angry, "You traitor, don't talk to me, you are a vicious dog raised by the Ming Dynasty, and you specialize in biting your own people." ”

"You're right, I'm the dog raised by the emperor of the Ming Dynasty."

Wu said with a smile: "But what's so bad about being a dog? Just like the shepherd dogs raised by our herdsmen, they have hot food to eat, and occasionally they can gnaw meat and bones, and they can be safely raised after the pups, not better than the stray wolves on the grassland? They braved the wind and snow, suffered a lot, tasted sourness, but couldn't even feed their little wolf cubs, why bother? ”

Hai Rigu was a little stunned, he couldn't refute what Wu said about Tan.

"This life is just a few decades, what do you say? Isn't it Aha cubs, cows, sheep and horses? ”

Wu Jiaotan said again: "Do you know what title I have in Daming now? Do you know how much I can get a month now? How many cattle and sheep can these men buy? Also, do you know how many wives and concubines I have now? Do you know where my sons and daughters go to school? ”

"Going to school?" Hai Rigu was stunned, "Your daughter can also go to school?" ”

"Of course, Da Ming is different, forget it, you don't understand it, you don't understand what it means to go to school." Wu Zhantan looked at Hai Rigu with a look of implicit pity, "Hai Rigu, you don't understand that the various tribes on our grassland are just alive, and they are essentially no different from cattle, sheep, horses, camels, and wolves. ”

"After arriving in Daming, I knew what it meant to live like a human being."

After a pause, Wu Jiaotan said sincerely: "Hai Rigu, the moment we come out of the mother's womb is an answer, we have made a poisonous oath to the Immortal Heaven, and we will never betray it in this life, so please believe me, and swear allegiance to Daming like me, from now on you will live like a person, not a beast to be slaughtered." ”

Hai Rigu looked at Wu Jiaotan with a blank face, and suddenly felt that this person was so strange.

Is this really the one who went down to the river with his bare ass to fish and shrimp, and played with him until he was seventeen years old?

What he said sounded a little obscure, but it seemed to make sense.

As he spoke, a military doctor had already walked over with a medicine box, ready to operate on Hairigu.

Seeing the military doctor pick up a sharp scalpel, Hai Rigu's eyes instantly revealed a fierce light.

Wu Jiaotan hurriedly persuaded him: "Hai Rigu, this is our military medical officer, they are all surgeons who graduated from Daming Medical College, and they have superb medical skills, and he can cure your gunshot wounds." ”

Out of trust in the Wujiaotan, Hai Rigu quickly quieted down.

The military doctor carefully examined Hai Rigu's leg injury and said: "It's okay, it didn't hit the bone, and it was a penetrating injury, as long as the wound is treated, it will heal soon." ”

As he spoke, the military doctor took a fast child and wrapped it in cotton yarn and dipped it in some salt water and poked it through the sore.

Hai Rigu's mouth opened at once, and he wanted to scold angrily, but Wu took the opportunity to stuff the leg of mutton into it, and Hai Rigu couldn't make a sound anymore, so he could only chew the mutton in a big gulp.

……

In Osaka, Chongzhen went to Dojima Rice Market again.

At this time, the order of Osaka had been completely restored, and the merchants and citizens had become accustomed to the existence of the Ming army.

After going around from the rice market on the island and returning to the official hall of Zhou Yu, Chongzhen had a new idea.

"Zheng Qing, maybe you don't need too drastic means at all, you can achieve your goal." Chongzhen said thoughtfully.

Zheng Zhilong was stunned when he heard this, he didn't know what Chongzhen was referring to, what was too drastic a means? Refers to the use of force against the Japanese state? Isn't it already fought?

Seeing Zheng Zhilong's stunned face, Chongzhen hurriedly explained: "I said that there is no need to rob people. ”

"Don't rob people?" Zheng Zhilong said, "The Holy Lord is saying that let the Japanese people go by themselves?" ”

"Yes, let them go to Daming by themselves." Chongzhen said, "I went to the Dojima Rice Market just now, I don't know if you found it, even in a big city like Osaka, where commerce is developed, most of the citizens are still hungry, and only the samurai and above and a small number of merchants have the opportunity to fill their stomachs." ”

"That's nature." Zheng Zhilong said, "There are only 30 million stones of cultivated land in the country, but its actual output is definitely less than 30 million stones, but the population of the country is more than 10 million, and each mouth is less than three stones, how can it be possible to fill the stomach?" The citizens of Osaka are either merchants or workshop workers, which is quite good. ”

Chongzhen said: "In other words, the situation in the rural areas of the Wa Kingdom is even worse? ”

"It's much worse than here." Zheng Zhilong said, "A large number of people starve to death every year. ”

"That's right." Chongzhen said, "In order not to arouse the vigilance of the shogunate, let's not grab people on a large scale first, but recruit first, and on the condition that we can eat enough to work in the Ming Dynasty, a large number of Japanese farmers will be recruited to work in the Ming Dynasty." ”

The population replacement of the four islands of the Japanese Kingdom and the Korean Peninsula is a long-term process, because it is now a desire to replace, and the Ming Dynasty does not have a surplus population, and before the population of the Ming Dynasty does not have a blowout, it is not capable of large-scale foreign colonization, so it is not appropriate to take too drastic measures now.

】

It's still like North Korea to take a moderate approach.

Zheng Zhilong asked, "In this case, will the Japanese slaves still be sold after they are transported back?" ”

"Of course, we will ship it back and sell it as well." Chongzhen said, "It's just that Osaka doesn't rob it, but what should I do after the Japanese slaves return to China." ”

Zheng Zhilong asked again: "What if there are no Japanese slaves to apply?" ”

"It can't be." Chongzhen shook his head and said, "As long as the propaganda work is in place, there will definitely be Japanese slaves recruited, after all, for the peasants of the Japanese country, no matter how bad they are after going to Daming, it will not be worse than staying in the Japanese country." ”

……

Ulan Butong grassland, general bubbles.

The weather in the Ulan Butong grassland has risen a lot for several days, and it is not as cold as before, and the freezing of cattle, sheep and livestock has also improved significantly.

However, what made Zhu Cijiong even happier was the reaction of the Chahar Mongolian tribes.

Hu Guozhu said with a smile: "King Ding, the heads of the Chahar Mongolian tribes are still very stubborn, except for the head of the Gongtu tribe, the head of the Gongtu tribe, who is still unwilling to surrender, but most of those thousand and hundred households have already sworn allegiance to the Ming Dynasty, not to mention the herdsmen." ”

For herders, filling their stomachs is the most important thing.

Those thousands and hundreds of households do not have a strong sense of autonomy.

For these thousands and hundreds of households, allegiance to the Ming Dynasty is just a change of head, and the strength of this head is stronger, and the treatment that can be provided to them is also more favorable.

Only those leaders are unwilling to give up their power easily.

But Zhu Cijiong would not get used to them, and said: "Lone has done his best to them, since they are stubborn, then there is nothing to say, except for the Sun Tiechi, the rest of the dozen or so leaders have all been killed." ”

Hu Guozhu received Zhu Cijiong's will, and immediately turned around and left, which was ordered to kill people.

Hu Guozhu had just walked out of the tent with his front foot, and Xu Wuniu came in with his hind foot to report: "King Ding, the head of the Gongtu tribe, the head of the Gong Rabbit Department, has come to thank you. ”

"Really?" Zhu Cijiong said happily, "Invite him in." ”

Xu Wuniu immediately lifted the curtain of the tent door and saw a Mongolian man standing outside the door with a young girl, although the girl was wearing a bloated Mongolian robe, but her face was white and beautiful.

Su Malagu, who was kneeling by the fire and cooking haggis, immediately turned her head to look at it.

When she came in, she knelt down on the woolen blanket, muttered, and pulled the fair-skinned and pretty girl behind her to him, and then knelt at Zhu Cijiong's feet.

Zhu Cijiong turned his gaze to Aunt Su Mala, who couldn't understand Mongolian.

Su Malagu translated with a smile: "The person at the head of the Ming Dynasty said that he thanked the military medical officer of the Ming Dynasty for curing his old injuries and new injuries, and he also said that His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty and His Royal Highness the King of Ding are like the sun and moon in the sky, and he is willing to become one of the stars in the sky, and he will always guard the Ming Dynasty." ”

After speaking, he took the girl's little hand and said, "The man at the head of the day also said that he would give his daughter Wuyun Qiqi to Your Highness as a slave and maid to serve your daily life. ”

"The dark clouds of the Arch Rabbit Department are in full view, see His Royal Highness King Ding."

The girl Yingying bowed down, but this time it was a Han ceremony, and what she said was also Chinese.

"Do you speak Chinese?" Zhu Cijiong was a little surprised, he didn't expect that there was such a pearl on the grassland.

When I looked at it carefully, I found that the dark clouds were really beautiful, not inferior to the beauties in the south of the Yangtze River, and there was a sassy and heroic posture that only a first-class grassland girl had.

At that moment, Zhu Cijiong said happily: "Okay, you will accept this kindness." ”

Xiao Ri Tichi left satisfied, and the dark clouds quickly entered the role of his maidservant, and followed Su Malagu to kneel by the fire and cook haggis soup.

Zhu Cijiong looked at the dark clouds and fell into deep thought.

Rao is a girl who grew up on the grassland, and she was also a little embarrassed by Zhu Cijiong's straight eyes, and a surging peach blossom halo slowly swelled on her pretty face.

Su Malagu whispered a few words with dark clouds attached to it.

The clouds became even more shy.

Zhu Cijiong suddenly clapped his hands and shouted, "There is!" ”

The dark clouds were startled, and the wooden spoon in his hand almost fell to the ground.

[Not surprisingly, some readers criticized the slave labor trafficking in the book, in fact, this is a historical fact, don't explain the dynasty, until the Republic of China still retains slavery, the so-called deed of sale is to sell yourself as a slave, those who are domestic slaves in large families are essentially no different from the black slaves on Latin American plantations, because the law of the Republic of China says that it is to protect the personal and personal property safety of domestic slaves, but this is simply a dead letter, nothing in existence, until New China really abolished the domestic slavery system]
