Chapter 391: Take care of my seventh uncle and grandfather
"Row!"
In the cabin, hundreds of households personally carried whips and whipped among the slaves.
The latter sit in pairs of two in groups of four, and then work together to shake the long paddles.
Of course, it was chained to the oars.
This kind of centipede boat is also already the standard for offshore patrols and inland river operations, after all, even the schooner clipper can not really get rid of the dependence on the wind, it is just suitable for a variety of wind directions, but this kind of centipede boat can, if it meets the tailwind and relies on the oars, the speed is not even inferior to the shangsail, but it is this kind of fast sailing that needs to burn the slaves......
Actually, it's similar to burning.
The Japanese slaves in the bilge, accompanied by the increasingly dense drum beat, paddled desperately with their long oars.
If you move slowly, you will be whipped immediately.
Even those that cause serious delays will be directly dragged aside and chopped......
"Delay the military aircraft!"
Baihu shouted fiercely.
The Japanese slaves all paddled hard......
They know it's true.
It's really going to be late.
The Japanese slaves are worthless, they are killed and replaced with new ones, and the He family resells tens of thousands of Japanese slaves from the Japanese country a year, and they still care about the lives of more than a hundred? Even the sea ships transporting them were thrown into the sea in an emergency at sea in order to run faster.
"One hundred households, one more tired to death!"
The officer shouted.
Next to him, a Japanese slave collapsed on the oar, and was still convulsing.
"Throw it out!"
Baihu shouted.
The officer immediately took out the key to open the chain, and then stuffed the slave who was not yet dead from the hole in the paddle next to him, and the latter immediately fell into the sea, perhaps the stimulation of the seawater made him sober up a little, he trembled in the sea and stretched out his hand as if to ask for help, but then the long oar that had locked him fell on his head, and he was instantly pressed into the sea by heavy pressure. At the same time, a substitute U.S. slave took his place and was chained to the oar, and together with the other three U.S., rowed the long oar, while the other U.S. slaves in the bilge only continued their work mechanically. They were all slaves, taken captive by the bankrupt samurai and sold to slave traders, although the official ban on this trade at present, but for the bankrupt samurai of the Wa Kingdom, as long as the sword is in hand, who cares what the law!
Since the surrender of the Ming Dynasty, the daimyos, including the Ashikaga family, have no need for samurai......
No more wars.
On the contrary, as long as they are loyal to the Ming Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty will protect them from the rest of the country.
There are no more wars between the daimyo.
The rebellion at the bottom was suppressed by the Ming Dynasty.
The only thing the daimyo had to do was to do everything they could to flatter the Daming, in which case the samurai became increasingly useless and costly for them, after all, it would cost them the vast majority of their annual income to feed them.
There is no need to raise it again.
High-ranking samurai had fiefs.
This is not in the hands of the daimyos.
What are the other samurai who need to pay rice and money for?
Let them fend for themselves!
But in this case, don't blame these samurai for plundering slaves, in fact, not only that, but the bankrupt samurai are quickly taking control of various theoretically illegal, but still thriving industries, which have a bit of a post-World War II flavor. And these samurai still belong to those daimyo in terms of status, so they must give a part of the money they make to the daimyos, so that the latter will not care, including this kind of slave plundering. Anyway, for the Daimyo, selling some filthy non-human beings to become Japanese slaves in the Ming Dynasty on the one hand gives the bankrupt samurai a livelihood, on the other hand, they can also increase their own income, and they can also reduce the population of the territory.
Although theoretically for a daimyo the more populous the place the better.
But......
There is a lack of land in that ghost place in the Wa Kingdom!
If the population is large, there will not be enough fertile land, and if there is not enough fertile land, a large part of the population will need to starve.
The hungry will rebel.
Instead of providing surplus food to the daimyo to increase their income, this part of the population consumed the surplus food created by others, and if they did not get it, they would choose to rebel or other ways of instability due to hunger.
So the best thing to do is to cut off.
Men can be sold to Daming rowing, clearing wasteland, building roads, in short, all kinds of very hard and tiring work, women can go to Daming to serve, and finally the daimyo take the treasure money they exchanged for blood and tears, live in the city everywhere, and live a more and more luxurious life. Of course, they also understand the consequences of this, the population of the Wa Kingdom will continue to decrease, and the national strength will continue to weaken, but this is their business, as long as they continue to kneel at the feet of the Ming Emperor and shout the Eight Desolations and Xiange Prosperous Times, they can always maintain brocade clothes and jade food.
Being a dog can be very happy!
They are happier than they used to be.
In the past, not only did they have to invest most of their income in raising the army, but they also often faced the annexation of other daimyos, and even the Ashikaga family actually had a hard time living a luxurious life.
But now it's different.
The vast majority of territory income can be used to enjoy it.
Like beauties, buy beauties of all ethnic groups from the Western Regions from Daming, like to engage in construction, buy all kinds of new building materials from Daming, and repair their castles beautifully, as for all kinds of new things in Daming, self-striking bells, glass mirrors, and even all kinds of glass, glass products and even new carriages.
It's all there.
Of course, even if the people eat bran vegetables, this is also essential.
But don't be afraid!
Dare to rebel?
The Heavenly Soldiers of the Five-Star Emperor Qi Hou Ye are in Edo!
Who dares to rebel and send the shells of the heavenly soldiers one by one.
It's beautiful.
And this self-reduction can also make the Ming Emperor completely reassure them.
After all, they have done this, and they are definitely loyal.
In the end, the Japanese slaves became the sludge at the bottom of the Ming Dynasty, and the Japanese kingdom became the machine for making this mud......
"Baihu, it's time to Humen!"
Shouts rang out outside.
Baihu hurriedly rushed out, then looked at the tiger gate not far away, and then turned his head to look behind him.
A little white sail can already be seen behind it.
"After all, we came first!"
He let out a long breath and said.
After all, he won the sea race by exhausting a dozen or so Japanese slaves.
He was originally going to Tuen Mun to report the news, but some of the warships of the ruling fleet blocked his way to Tuen Mun, and the other warships also had to be surrounded, so he had to go north to the west of Tai Xi Mountain, and in the pursuit of the ruling fleet almost closely, he did not care about going to Tuen Mun, and just as the tide began to rise again, he simply went straight to Humen. After all, Tuen Mun actually doesn't have many troops, it is a base for patrolling and checking smuggling, and Humen is the real fortress with heavy troops.
The centipede ship immediately docked.
Baihu jumped onto the pier and rushed towards Humen Fort under the stunned gaze of everyone on the shore.
He rushed to the fort as fast as he could......
"Hurry, hurry, the thieves have arrived!"
He said breathlessly.
Hua Ying, who was talking to someone, turned her head in amazement......
"What thieves have arrived?"
He shouted.
"Flower, General Flower, is the ruling fleet, just behind the small one."
Baihu hurriedly saluted and said.
As he spoke, he pointed to the distant sea.
Hua Ying hurriedly raised her binoculars and looked at the dots of white sails there.
"Bastard, where is there a ruling fleet, aren't you dizzy, take the whaling clipper as the ruling fleet, the Marquis of Qingyuan is at war with Zheng He, they don't win or lose, how can the ruling party cross them to this Humen?"
Hua Ying said angrily.
Hundreds of households were stunned.
He pointed to the growing number of white sails on the sea.
"General Flower, what whaling ship has so many of them?
That's the ruling fleet, the small ones are deliberately approaching in order to see clearly, and the small ones are almost surrounded by them, so hurry up and give the order to prepare for battle, it's too late. ”
He said.
"Bastard, General Ben still wants you to teach me how to do things?"
Hua Ying said angrily.
Hundreds of households stammered.
Why didn't he understand, Hua Ying didn't believe such an obvious thing?
"Get out of this that disturbs the morale of the military."
Hua Ying shouted.
The soldiers hurried up to catch up with the hundred households.
"General Hua, they are really the enemy army, they are really the ruling fleet, the small one can see it clearly, don't miss the big thing, brothers, you have to believe me, what I said is true, that is really the ruling fleet, they are here to attack Humen, brothers, ......"
Baihu struggled, shouting like a wronged loyalist.
"Bang!"
Suddenly, gunshots rang out.
He looked at Hua Ying's short gun in dismay, and the others also looked at Hua Ying in dismay.
"This dog thing must have been bought by the northerners, deliberately spreading rumors to disturb the hearts of our army and the people, and throwing him down to make an example!"
Hua Ying shouted.
Under the complicated gaze of everyone on the fort, his cronies immediately dragged the corpse of Baihu and threw him directly from the fort, and the latter disappeared into the waves of the rising tide below with full loyalty to his seventh uncle and grandfather and Jianwen. At this time, more and more white sails appeared on the sea in the distance, as if endless, and everyone on the fort did not speak, just looked at Hua Ying cautiously there. At this time, anyone who has a little brain understands that there is obviously something wrong with this General Hua, this is definitely not a whaling ship, how can there be hundreds of whaling ships coming together, and there are not a hundred such large whaling ships in the whole of Guangdong combined!
Even He Di's sailors don't have so many clippers.
This is the ruling fleet going south.
Although I don't know how they quietly evaded He Di's fleet patrol and vigilance, and then suddenly appeared in Humen, this is indeed the ruling fleet.
So......
Wait!
Anyway, Hua Ying is the main general.
Then they, including the vendors on the docks, and even the sailors on the centipede, all watched strangely as the huge fleet approached closer and closer, until the first brig came straight to the dock under their watchful eyes. However, people were shocked to find that on the mast stood a man dressed in flowers, who was beside the hunting flag, holding the mast in one hand and carrying the brown cable in the other, and he jumped at the moment when the clipper approached the pier, and then he slammed into the air at the moment when it was about to hit the pier, and the next moment he was standing on the pier. He walked forward leisurely under the gaze of a dumbfounded man, and gave the child a piece of black stuff......
"Sugar, delicious."
He said.
Then he continued to walk forward as he watched through the mezzanine.
At this time, Hua Ying had already sorted out his clothes, and then walked down the battery, and the officers behind him mechanically followed their General Hua, and just walked in front of the man......
"The hereditary thousand households of the Guangzhou Left Guard, the criminal minister, visit the ambassador!"
Hua Ying saluted and said.
"Ah, Ling Zun seems to be buried in the capital, right?"
Yang Feng said.
"Back to the ambassador, it's just outside the Ander Gate."
Hua Ying hurriedly said.
His family was transferred from Shence Wei to Guangzhou Zuowei.
"Fortunately, it hasn't been affected by the artillery fire, what is the relationship between your family and the Dongqiu Hou family?"
Yang Feng asked.
Hua Yun's son, Hua Wei, had already inherited his father's title when the empress succeeded to the throne and rewarded him aggressively.
"Back to the ambassador, it's just the same surname, the ancestral home of the criminal minister's family is Chao County, and the ancestral home of Dongqiu Hou is Huaiyuan."
Hua Ying hurriedly said.
"That's also following Taizu to fight the world, the ruling is behind, since you have gone anyway, then you are not guilty, you are all the same, as long as it is not those lustful and anti-party leaders, all others who take the initiative to do it are not guilty."
Yang Feng said.
The officers behind Hua Ying instantly lifted their spirits, as if they had seen the sun through the clouds......
"Ambassador, now Guangzhou does not know that the heavenly soldiers have arrived, the last general is willing to be the king's precursor, Guangze King relies on only the color of the eyes, but the time is in a hurry, the color eyes have not all gathered in Guangzhou, just take advantage of the weakness, the last general is willing to attack the city for the king to atone for the previous sins. The last general's brother is in the Yuzhu Fort, and he has always thought of the capital, but he is forced to rebel against the party and the snake, as long as the king goes to Yuzhu, the last general can protect him to welcome. ”
An officer said impatiently.
Other officers expressed their stance one after another, patting their chests one by one and saying that they would open Guangzhou for the ruling power.
"Your courage is commendable, but there is an order in power, King Guangze is just confused for a while, but he is still an aunt and nephew after all, so he will not attack, and he should send an envoy to wake him up."
Yang Feng said with a smile.
"Huh?"
Hua Ying and the others were all stupid.
"Ambassador, King Guangze is stubborn by nature, and has a deep grudge against the government, in the opinion of the last general, I am afraid that it will not be useful, and so that King Guangze can gather soldiers and horses, Guangzhou is well defended after all, once the soldiers and horses gather, I am afraid it will not be overnight."
Hua Ying cautiously objected to this apparently brain-pumping decision.
You have all entered Humen, why don't you take the opportunity to go straight to Guangzhou?
How did you win the world with such a brain pump?
Now it's just high tide, and it's a tailwind, and the troops can come to Guangzhou in a few hours, and they still stop to say hello?
Big brother, you're fighting!
"This, you also know, the ruling is a woman, sometimes I don't know what she thinks, but no matter what she thinks, her orders are orders, and you don't want to dare to openly disobey the ruling just when you see the ruling party, right?"
Yang Feng said.
He threw the brain-pumping hat to the princess.
Of course, you have to stop telling you, the key to Guangzhou is nothing more than Humen, as long as you enter Humen, Guangzhou is also a matter of time, but since Zhu Yunwen's elite eyes have not yet arrived, then wait for them to arrive. Ambassador Yang's real target is not Zhu Yunwen, who is not worthy of him and the little princess to personally recruit, and the key is to clean up the garbage for Guangdong.
"As for you, why don't you hurry up and prepare for the ruling party? In addition, the He family is from Dongguan, right? You don't want to raid your home? ”
He then shouted.
Hua Ying and the others woke up instantly......
That's right, getting rich is the most important thing, what does Guangzhou care about at this time, isn't it good to go to Dongguan to raid your home?
