Chapter 186: A war sparked by a cow.

"The last general refractor, Qi Yuan, see Your Majesty, I have seen His Royal Highness Taisun."

As the enemy surrendered, Li Hu reluctantly ordered to stop shooting, control the enemy's warship, and collect the enemy's prisoners.

He just wanted to fight a naval battle, why couldn't he satisfy him, he, the chief officer of the navy, was too aggrieved.

Alas, sometimes it's a worry to be too strong.

After relieving the danger, Refractive asked the soldiers to send their wounded companion to the hospital ship, and he and Qi Yuan came to the flagship with trepidation.

The brother who picked them up had already told them, and the emperor had also come.

The two were chased by the enemy like this, lost two battleships, killed and wounded so many brothers, and simply lost Daming's face.

And more importantly, the cause of the war is still on them.

With the emperor's violent temper, the two of them have absolutely no good fruit to eat.

The old man sitting in the first place only nodded slightly, and did not reprimand the two generals with words.

After all, this is his grandson's subordinates, and he mainly watched the battle this time, so he will not choose to meddle in this kind of punishment of his subordinates.

"What's going on? Didn't I ask you to be stationed there first and build a makeshift base for our large forces to come? How did the fight start. ”

Zhu Zhangui looked at the two with a cold face and asked.

The two bowed their heads in shame.

Without waiting for Refractive to speak, Qi Yuan said directly in a loud voice.

"The cause of the incident is all the fault of the minister, please Your Royal Highness, don't blame General Qu Guang, it is the minister's fault that implicates him!"

Seeing that Qi Yuan wanted to carry all the charges alone, Qu Guang hurriedly spoke.

"Your Highness, the order to start the war was given by the minister, and it is not about General Qi!"

"Your Highness, it's me, it's none of his business, it's all my fault. The ground war was caused by me first, and General Qu used the ship's artillery to support us in order not to let us suffer. ”

In order to bear this charge, the two argued loudly.

"Peng!"

Zhu Zhangui slapped the table heavily, and the two who were arguing for the crime immediately shut up.

The old man glanced at Zhu Zhangui, who was standing beside him and patted the table in front of him, the corners of his eyebrows jumped, and he reached out to pull Zhu Zhangui's hand aside and pulled the table to the side.

This wooden table was made when he and his little great-grandson were bored on the boat, it was very memorable, but he cared about it very much, and he was usually reluctant to slap it, this kid dared to put such a heavy hand.

The corners of Zhu Zhangui's mouth twitched, glanced at the many generals who twisted their heads to the side, and glanced at the old man speechlessly.

Then glared angrily at the two people below.

"Let's talk about how to fight first, I have to decide whose fault it is."

In fact, Zhu Zhangui didn't care about the cause, he was angry that since the fight started, he had to have the ability to win.

Zhu Zhangui is just like those commanders in the army.

The two sides fought, and when they won the battle, they came back with good food and drink, and when they were full of food and drink, they asked the reason for the fight.

If you lose, even if you are on your side, you won't have a good face.

The two started a war with Ah Sanguo, even if the two of them were at a loss, as long as they could win, Zhu Zhangui would protect them.

But the result in front of him is obviously that he has lost, and his own side may still be the one who loses.

This made Zhu Zhangui a little angry.

If you don't have the ability, you just hold it back and make something blind.

If you find something by yourself, not only will outsiders beat you, but I will also deal with you.

"Back to Your Highness, here's the thing!"

Qi Yuan hurriedly said the reason first.

After Qi Yuan got off the boat that day, he walked around the local vegetable market.

Their plan was to buy some mutton to go back to satisfy their hunger, and later when they were buying sheep, they asked more, is there any beef for sale?

It is illegal to kill cattle in Daming, but the beef is indeed very fragrant.

Thinking that these people look very similar to the grassland people, there should be no problem in killing cattle, plus they are from other countries, even if they break the law, this foreign state can't control it.

So they thought about buying a few cows and going back so that everyone could satisfy their hunger.

When they asked, the man who sold the cattle shook his head and refused to explain why, when a nobleman, dressed in good clothes, laughed and said that he had cattle for sale, and the price was very cheap.

Qi Yuan heard that there were cattle for sale, and talked with the other party, and learned that the other party had 10 cows, and they were all sturdy live cattle, and the asking price was only 200 taels of silver per head.

With such a cheap price, Qi Yuan was moved all of a sudden, and after ordering more than a dozen sheep, he followed the other party to get the cattle.

The cow was indeed bought, and the richly dressed noble son did not deceive Qi Yuan and the others.

However, the other party made a request, saying that they have a custom there, and the cattle must be killed at the busy street corner, and the cattle sold cannot leave the city alive.

Such a strange statement, although Qi Yuan and the others were a little confused, they didn't think much about it, it is normal for one country and one custom.

So they pulled the cattle to the street where the sheep were sold, rented a few cars, slaughtered the cattle on the spot, and then skinned and cut the meat.

Their act of killing cattle silenced the whole street, and the pedestrians on the street looked at them in shock and anger.

With such a scene, no matter how stupid Qi Yuan was, he knew that he had been trapped.

The interpreter inquired with the sheep seller, but the sheep seller refused to say a word or explain, and urged them to leave quickly.

Knowing that something might be wrong, Qi Yuan didn't hesitate, and hurriedly asked the cart puller to bring the cart over, and he was about to leave with the beef.

But the drivers of the rented cars refused their request, and angrily told Qi Yuan that Qi Yuan had angered the gods, and the gods would not let go of Qi Yuan and the others, and if they helped Qi Yuan, they would also be implicated by the gods.

Qi Yuan was stunned, didn't I just kill a cow? Although it is also illegal to kill cattle in our Ming Dynasty, it will not even offend God.

The coachman was reluctant to pull, although Qi Yuan was angry, he didn't force it, so he asked a few soldiers accompanying him to lead the sheep and put the beef on his own car.

But they wanted to leave, but the people on the street were unwilling, and surrounded them one after another, shouting angrily that they would hand them over to some seminary.

And just when the atmosphere between the two parties was tense and deadlocked, the noble son who sold cattle stood up.

He told Qi Yuan that Qi Yuan killed a zebu ox, which was the holy beast of the Three Kingdoms, which had already aroused the wrath of the gods, and if Qi Yuan and the others were not dealt with, the gods would send down divine punishment and punish all the people of the Three Kingdoms.

The noble son told Qi Yuan that if he wanted to get out, it was actually very simple, as long as he gave him 100,000 taels of silver, he could escort Qi Yuan and the others away.

Otherwise, Qi Yuan and the others will be sent to God to be punished.

Qi Yuan was instantly furious, he understood that they were trapped.

This noble son must have seen their generosity and the reason why he was a foreigner, so he thought of using his identity to pit Qi Yuan and others.

The sheep seller stopped talking just now, and refused to tell them the reason, because he was worried that this noble son would implicate him.

Give the other party 100,000 taels, how can Qi Yuan agree.

Let's not mention whether there is so much money, even if there is, Qi Yuan will not give the other party a son.

The noble son saw that Qi Yuan and the others didn't want to pay the money, so he asked his subordinates to fan the fire in the crowd surrounding Qi Yuan and the others.

The people of Ah San, who were provoked, pointed at Qi Yuan and the others and scolded, throwing stones at Qi Yuan and others.

The other party was overwhelmed, and Qi Yuan could only choose restraint and let the soldiers leave the meat alone, and rush out first.

But as soon as they had the intention of retreating, they were discovered by the noble son.

The noble boy shouted, and several short knives flew out of the crowd and stabbed Qi Yuan and his party.

The soldiers who were experienced on the battlefield easily dodged over.

But the translator was just an ordinary scholar, not as good as a soldier, and was stabbed in the chest with a short knife and died on the spot.

His subordinates were killed in person, Qi Yuan finally couldn't help it, and without saying a word, he pulled out a gun and killed that noble son directly.

Qi Yuan's shot was quite happy, but he didn't know that this noble son was the son of the governor of Madras, and he was the only son.

The servants under the noble son, seeing that the prince was also killed, were stunned on the spot, and rushed directly in anger, fighting with Qi Yuan and the others.

The racial system of the three kingdoms is very serious, the master is killed, and if the servant is still alive, they will be brutally killed and buried with the master.

If they don't avenge their master, then their families will have the same fate.

In order not to implicate their own families, they risked their lives to kill the enemy.

As soon as the servant of the noble prince made a move, the people of the Three Kingdoms who blocked Qi Yuan and others also rushed up.

A scuffle broke out in an instant.

Qi Yuan came out to buy things, and in order not to cause misunderstanding, he only brought a dozen soldiers.

There were at least a thousand of the three people who surrounded them.

Although Qi Yuan and the others have rich combat experience, the good tiger can't stand the wolves, and it is difficult to defeat the four hands with two fists.

In the end, more than a dozen soldiers under Qi Yuan rushed out to protect Qi Yuan.

Then Qi Yuan fled back to the ship alone, and a series of conflicts broke out in the back.

After listening to Qi Yuan's story, Zhu Zhangui's face turned dark and ugly.

The whole thing started because of the killing of a few cows.

Zhu Zhangui knows that the Asan people worship the cow very much.

It seems to be the ancient Indians, the Aryans migrated over, and Hinduism is at its peak.

In his previous life, Zhu Zhangui had even heard that it was a very glorious thing for the Asan to regard cow urine and cow dung as a holy relic, and even to marry a cow.

When the two were sent at that time, Zhu Zhangui forgot about this stubble, and did not explain that this matter needed to be paid attention to.

But I didn't expect the problem to be here.

Looking at the two who lowered their heads to accept the guilt, Zhu Zhangui was silent for a while.

"Although there is a reason for the incident, it is also caused by the mistakes of the two of you."

"If I don't punish you, I'm sorry for my brothers who died in battle."

Zhu Zhangui snorted coldly, "Come on, take it!" ”

Several guards stepped forward and restrained the two.

Zhu Zhangui looked at the two and said coldly.

"Qi Yuan refractory, because of the mistakes of the two of you, countless brothers have shed blood and sacrificed for this, but considering the past merits of the two of you, a certain decision was made to give a lighter punishment."

"Punish him with 50 canes, remove him from all positions, and demote him to ordinary soldiers and sailors!"

"You two can accept the sentence!"

"The sin will be punished!"

The two of them have nothing to disagree with, and they are already grateful for saving their lives.

They knew in their hearts that if it weren't for the fact that the two of them had followed Zhu Zhangui for so many years, Zhu Zhangui missed the old love in his heart, and this incident was that he was cheated because he didn't understand the customs, otherwise the two would definitely not be able to escape a knife in the neck.

"Pull down, hit!"

Zhu Zhangui let out a low shout, and the guards stripped off the armor on the two of them, dragged them aside, picked up the torture staff, and beat them.

There was a thumping sound, and I listened to the other generals with a toothache.

But the two of them were tough enough, and before they passed out, they were stunned and carried it hard.

"Your Highness, the execution is complete!"

Hu Yu, who was in charge of the prison sentence, confirmed that he would come to report after the beating.

Zhu Zhangui glanced at the entire flesh and blood mold lake behind him, and the two who had passed out waved their hands.

"Take it down and heal!"

After the two were carried away, Zhu Zhangui looked at the surrendered Asan warship, and saw that the soldiers were still searching for prisoners, and it would take a while, so he said to the generals of the surrounding ships: "Things have changed, let's go to the conference room for a meeting!" ”

The group went to the conference room in a big way, and the old man and Zhang Fu, who was still a little seasick, as well as Xia Yuanji and Yang Pu, who rushed over from other ships, also walked in.

When he came to the conference room, the old man didn't have the idea of participating, hugged the little guy who ran over, sat down in a position on the side, drank tea and prepared to listen.

He wanted to see how his grandson planned to fight this war.

He's too old to take care of everything.

The children are all older, and if he manages too much, it is easy for the children to become dependent.

Once he is gone one day, the child will suffer if he has no experience in this area.

Now that he is still alive, let the children below do things independently, he is watching from the side, and he will point out and correct any mistakes, so that the children can accumulate more experience.

After Hu Yu hung up the map provided by Qu Guang and the others, Zhu Zhangui held the command baton in his hand and looked at all the generals and said solemnly.

"Now that the war between the two sides has begun, our plans are about to change."

Zhu Zhangui held a command baton and pointed to the location of the large island in the southeast region of the Three Kingdoms on the map behind him.

"It's not a matter of a day or two to conquer the three countries, we need a garrison and a temporary supply camp."

"Here, it's an independent island land, a bit similar to our Little Ryukyu Island."

"It's surrounded by the sea, so we can maximize our naval superiority, and with this as our base, we can attack from anywhere."

"This place we have to take!"

"Now I command!"

"Whoa!"

All the generals stood upright, even Zhang Fu also stood up.

The old man has already explained that once the war starts, all the military personnel, including him, Zhu Zhangui and Li Hai can be mobilized at will.

Zhu Zhangui pointed to Jaffna's position, "Han Fei, Ma Xun!" ”

"Here!"

A Navy and a Marine Corps officer shouted in response.

"The two of you will lead your subordinates to launch an attack on this place, and after taking this place, build a dock to guard the other side!"

"Yes!"

"Sun Xi, Zhang Xian!"

Li Hu's lieutenant and Zhang Xian's chest straightened up, and they responded loudly.

Zhu Zhangui looked at the two of them, pointed to the location of Colombo and said, "I will send 6 warships to the two of you with 5,000 troops, and take this place within 5 days, do you have any confidence!" ”

The two looked at each other and said loudly.

"Guaranteed to complete the mission!"

Zhu Zhangui nodded with satisfaction, slipped the baton in his hand, and praised Madras.

"Li Hu!"

"The last general!"

Li Hu, who stood in the first position in the navy, answered the order loudly.

Zhu Zhangui looked at Li Hu with a cold expression and said: "Our brother can't die in vain, you take 10 warships and go here to bombard me where there are people on the coastline." ”

"Your Highness, please think twice!"

Before Li Hu could respond, Yang Pu, who was beside the old man, stood up with a frown.

Zhu Zhangui and the generals turned their heads to look at him, their expressions indifferent.

Yang Pu, who was stared at by so many fierce generals, a layer of cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

For the first time, he noticed that the murderous aura of the original generals was so strong, why did he not feel this murderous aura when he met those generals in the court before.

Zhu Zhangui looked at Yang Pu with an indifferent expression.

"Master Yang, do you have any opinions?"

Zhu Zhangui's inquiry made Yang Pu feel pressured.

He had experienced this feeling more than once.

It's just that most of them were when facing the old man and Zhu Yuanzhang back then, but he didn't experience it in the prince and the king of Han.

Unexpectedly, His Royal Highness the young Taisun was not weaker than the emperor and Emperor Hongwu.

"Your Highness, he has no opinion, but he is a little seasick and dizzy, so he talks nonsense."

Without waiting for Yang Pu to answer, Xia Yuanji, who was on the side, hurriedly pulled Yang Pu aside and explained with a smile.

Zhu Zhangui glanced at Yang Pu, who wanted to speak and stopped, glanced at the old man, and saw him holding the little guy and playing, as if he hadn't heard anything.

Then he turned his head and asked Li Hu.

"Do you understand the mission?"

Li Hu raised his hand and saluted.

"Guaranteed to complete the mission!"

in the corner.

Xia Yuanji pulled Yang Pu to the side, glanced at Zhu Zhangui, who continued to arrange combat tasks, and said to Yang Pu angrily.

"Have you eaten seafood these days and smeared your brain on the lake, Your Majesty didn't say anything, what are you talking nonsense."

Yang Pu frowned.

"His Royal Highness Taisun's killing heart is really too heavy, when he went on the Northern Expedition last year, he slaughtered so much, if it wasn't for His Majesty to let me wait and press, the Yushitai below would have been turned upside down."

"If you kill it in the north, you will kill it, it is a grassland, it doesn't mean much to us, kill it, deter those grassland barbarians, there's no problem."

"But this time we are in a war of conquest, we want to make this land nationalized, if there is too much killing, it will be difficult to rule in the future!"

Xia Yuanji shook his head speechlessly and pointed at Yang Pu.

"You, what do you want me to say about you, can you think of this, can't Your Majesty and the grandson think of it?"

Yang Pu opened his mouth.

Xia Yuanji continued: "Your Majesty and the grandson both know, but why do you still do this. ”

"It's a foreign country, and we speak different languages and customs."

"Benevolence, righteousness, and benevolence are also to divide people, and the people here are relative to our beliefs, and if you want to subdue them, you must first subdue them."

"This is the same as training a dog, just giving benefits can only feed white-eyed wolves, and using some means can train loyal and honest watchdogs!"

After speaking, he patted Yang Pu on the shoulder, "You, you have read too many sage books, you don't understand this conquest, and I don't understand it." ”

"Let's honestly manage the rest of the things and do our own work. The matter of the war should be handed over to His Majesty and His Royal Highness the Grand Sun! ”
