，！

Zhou Zhiqing was almost frightened when he heard Zhu Yunxi's threat.

He heard that His Royal Highness King Wu was very cruel, and once arrested people in Jinyiwei Prison and tortured them because others peeked at imitation books.

Even the subordinate officials of the Prince's Mansion were not spared, for example, the person named Huang Hecheng was arrested and tortured for three days because he sold imitation books in his bookstore!

Therefore, how dare such a cruel person not believe that he would be martyred for his country!

"His Royal Highness King Wu, this is broad daylight, Lang Lang Qiankun, if you really kill this official, aren't you afraid of the world's criticism?"

"Besides, this official is an official of the imperial court, and he has the emperor's order, if you kill this official, His Majesty the Emperor will also punish you heavily!"

Zhu Yunxi saw that Zhou Zhiqing was scared of himself like this, and he was a little excited on the spot.

"Alas!"

"Lone scares you to play, look at you so scared!"

"Hey, why are your pants wet, shouldn't you pee your pants?"

Zhou Zhiqing subconsciously wiped the crotch of his pants and found that it was dry and refreshing, and then he realized that he had been deceived.

"King Wu!"

"Soldiers can be killed, but not humiliated!"

"As the grandson of His Majesty's most favored emperor, how can you play such a trick on your own official!"

Zhu Yunxi saw that this person was still energetic, and his little temper came up.

"Military doctor, you go to treat others first, and I will personally treat this person in a while!"

"No!"

Zhou Zhiqing panicked on the spot when he saw the military doctor who was treating him running away.

He didn't believe that Zhu Yunxi would cure his injuries, he just thought that Zhu Yunxi was going to take the opportunity to treat his injuries and kill him!

"Ahem......"

"His Royal Highness King Wu, can you take a step to speak?"

"Can't!"

Zhu Yunxi refused without hesitation, and then picked up a needle and threaded it in front of Zhou Zhiqing.

When Zhou Zhiqing saw him like this, he was even more frightened, thinking that he was going to be stripped of his skin in a while.

"If you want to say something, say it quickly, if it's a little later, you won't be able to say it if you want to!"

Zhou Zhiqing was even more panicked when he heard this, thinking that he was about to die, so he cried on the spot.

"His Royal Highness King Wu, Wechen is just in the main hall, I asked you a few words for the subjects of the world, and I didn't mean to offend you, why do you have to get along with the small officials of Wechen Sesame Mung Bean, woo woo woo ......"

"Besides, if it weren't for Wei Chen's question, you wouldn't have had a chance to say that and cause everyone to praise you......"

Zhu Yunxi raised his eyebrows when he heard this, and said unhappily.

"Humph!"

"If you say that, should I thank you?"

"Weichen doesn't dare!"

"Wechen just said that Wechen and His Royal Highness King Wu have no personal grudges, and even if they do, they are just political differences......"

"Please also ask His Royal Highness King Wu to forgive Weichen and give Weichen a way to live!"

"Are you finished?"

"Huh?"

"After Weichen finished speaking, I also asked His Royal Highness King Wu to consider carefully, Weichen is willing to change his evil and return to the right, abandon the darkness and turn to the light......"

Zhu Yunxi saw that Zhou Zhiqing couldn't say anything decent, so he immediately ordered someone to hold him down.

"Come on, find a torn sock and stuff this guy's mouth!"

"No!"

"Ah...... His Royal Highness King Wu...... Cover ...... Cover ......"

Zhou Zhiqing had a torn sock stuffed into his mouth, his body struggling violently, and his face was full of horror.

However, what scared him the most was the tingling pain coming from behind him, as if someone was stitching him in the back.

Although he had long known that King Wu was cruel, he never thought that King Wu would actually live to strip him of his skin!

At this moment, countless hatreds surged in his heart, only hating that he didn't crash to death on the pillar of the Qianqing Palace that day!

In that way, he can not only make a name for the world, but also pour a basin of dirty water on King Wu, which is better than dying quietly now!

Just when Zhou Zhiqing was dying in pain, thinking that he was going to die unjustly, he suddenly heard a voice behind him.

"That's it!"

"Let him go."

"This king has already stitched up the place where you were cut when you escaped, although it looks a little ugly, but your life can be said to be saved, don't hurry up and thank this king!"

"Thanks?"

"Heal?"

Zhou Zhiqing turned back in disbelief, and saw that Zhu Yunxi was untying a white gown, and immediately had some doubts in his heart, could it be that His Royal Highness King Wu was really treating his own injuries?

It's just that why is it sewn for healing?

"If you don't thank you, forget it, Lone didn't expect you civil officials to have a conscience!"

"But Lone still has to remind you, don't see water until the wound heals."

Zhu Yunxi threw down this sentence, stopped paying attention to this person, and walked towards the city gate in the distance.

Zhou Zhiqing looked at Zhu Yunxi's back gradually moving away, and couldn't help but feel a strange feeling in his heart.

This King Wu doesn't seem to be so brutal, right?

At this moment, a military doctor who was responsible for treating the wounded passed by, and Zhou Zhiqing stopped him on the spot.

"Dare to ask the military doctor, just now His Royal Highness King Wu was really treating the injuries of this official?"

The military doctors were all borrowed by Zhu Yunxi from the Tai Hospital, who were originally the reserve doctors of the Tai Hospital, the sons and nephews of the Tai Doctors, or the disciples and grandchildren.

Therefore, for His Royal Highness King Wu, the originator of surgical medicine, it is 10,000 worships.

Now when I heard that someone dared to question His Royal Highness King Wu, the great pioneer of surgical medicine, his face darkened on the spot.

"You have no conscience!"

"Even when my master sees His Royal Highness King Wu, he has to perform a disciple ceremony, and His Royal Highness King Wu personally heals your wounds, you dare to question it!"

Zhou Qiqing saw that a little military doctor dared to teach him a lesson, and he was a little unhappy in his heart.

"Who is your master?"

"My master is the head of the Tai Hospital!"

"Uh-uh......"

When Zhou Zhiqing heard this, he hurriedly arched his hand.

"Disrespectful, disrespectful!"

There is a kind of official who does not distinguish between civil and military affairs, and does not dare to provoke without martial arts, that is, the famous medical officer.

Because no one is an official or a general, no one dares to guarantee that he will not get sick for the rest of his life.

Therefore, in the face of the doctors in the Tai Hospital, they are still very respectful. Especially in the Tai Hospital, no matter who you go to, you have to be a guest.

Even a good man like Zhou Zhiqing had to be politely complimented when he heard the little military doctor in front of him mention Hao Wenjie, the head of the Tai Hospital.

"This official has had the privilege of chatting with your master a few times, and I deeply feel that Hao Yuan is generous and decent, and the doctor is benevolent......

When it comes to this topic, the little military doctor doesn't dare to talk about it.

Because what Zhou Zhiqing said about Hao Wenjie is not the same as what he has in his heart.

He clearly remembered that Master had said that no matter who he went to for medical treatment, he had to ask for money, and people who recognized money like this must have nothing to do with generosity, right?

The little military doctor listened to a few more words, and saw that the other party was about to praise his master as Hua Tuo in the world, and Bian Que was reborn, so he couldn't help it.

"Lord Zhou praised ......"

Zhou Zhiqing was stunned on the spot when he heard this, and his heart was wrong to praise or not, and it was not your turn to be a disciple!

His Royal Highness King Wu is surrounded by a group of bulls, ghosts, snakes, and gods, and there are even those who praise the master.

"Ahem......"

"Dare to ask the military doctor, is the injury on the officer's back really okay?"

"You just put your heart in your stomach, His Royal Highness King Wu personally took action, even the treatment that the Duke of Xinguo did not have, you still dare to be suspicious, it is really in vain for His Royal Highness King Wu's hard work!"

After the little military doctor said this, he subconsciously opened Zhou Zhiqing's clothes.

Originally, he wanted to steal the master to learn the art and see if there was anything worth learning from the stitching techniques of His Royal Highness King Wu.

However, after just one glance, he felt black in front of his eyes.

What the hell is this sewing, at first glance I thought a centipede was lying on someone else's back!

Zhou Zhiqing felt a chill in his back, and his little heart lifted up on the spot.

"The tired military doctor hurriedly took a look to see if His Royal Highness King Wu had done anything and deliberately made bad ...... to this official."

When the little military doctor heard this, he scratched his head in embarrassment, and pondered for a while before speaking.

"Very good!"

"It's very strong, the kind of ...... you can't break away from running two miles now"

After the little military doctor said this, he really couldn't stand it anymore, so he hurriedly put down Zhou Zhiqing's clothes, and then slipped away without looking back.

He was afraid that if he didn't leave, he wouldn't be able to help but stitch the wound again, and that would be a slap in the face of Master Zu on the spot!

It's just that Master Zu's suturing technique is too poor, not to mention the unevenness, the knot can even make such a big pimple!

Zhou Zhiqing saw that the little military doctors praised His Royal Highness King Wu's methods, and finally let go of his hanging heart.

At the same time, I also felt a little grateful, and felt that His Royal Highness King Wu was still a good person.

After Zhou Zhiqing had this idea, he didn't feel disgusted and hateful when he thought back to His Royal Highness King Wu's previous words and deeds, but felt a little childlike and cute.

It's not uncommon for children to say a few big words and scare people with cruel words.

But the heart is still kind, the heart is still pure, and the character is still upright......

After Zhou Zhiqing made up for the 10,000 "good" of His Royal Highness King Wu in his mind, he beckoned the soldiers to carry him to thank him on the spot.

Zhu Yunxi threw down Zhou Zhiqing and led everyone to the gate of Haizhou City, shouting for the people above to open the door.

"The people in the city listened to Lonely, and ordered you to open the city gate immediately, kill chickens and sheep, and reward us!"

"If not, Lone will blow open the city gate and hang you all on the city gate tower to bleed!"

When the officers at the gate heard this, they did not dare to open the door.

When these people fought against the Japanese just now, they were frightened.

Who knows if the army that suddenly appeared in front of him will be friend or foe, what if it is a larger gang of thieves?

Now that the life and death of the county commander is uncertain, there is no one in charge of the city, and everyone is even more afraid to open the door.

"You're all dead!"

"Lonely's throat is smoking, and you don't even open the door!"

"That's how you treat your lifesavers?"

"If it weren't for the lonely thousands of miles to help, he would not hesitate to sacrifice his subordinates to save the lives of your others, and you would have been beaten into the city by the Japanese at this time......"

When Zhu Yunxi was shouting and his throat was smoking, he suddenly felt that someone was pulling him, and he scolded angrily.

"Get out of the way, didn't you see that Lone is annoying?"

"His Royal Highness King Wu, you ordered someone to set up Weichen, and they dared to open the city gate when they saw Weichen!"

"Oh-oh-oh?"

When Zhu Yunxi heard this, he remembered that he still had a Haicheng County order in his hand, and hurriedly beckoned someone to set it up.

The people at the head of the city saw that the county lord was not dead, and they showed surprised expressions one by one.

"Great, Lord Xianzun is still alive!"

It was the county lieutenant of Haicheng who was shouting, because according to the rules of the Ming officialdom, the county magistrate died in front of him, and he, the county lieutenant, didn't want to get benefits, he would be severely punished by the imperial court, so he would be buried by the county magistrate.

Because strictly speaking, he, the county lieutenant, is in charge of the military of a county, and he, the person in charge of the military, did not die, but killed the county order in charge of civil affairs.

When Zhou Zhiqing heard this, he was so angry that he scolded.

"Are you all blind?"

"This is His Royal Highness King Wu has arrived, why don't you hurry up and open the city gate to greet you?"

"Huh?"

The people at the head of the city were dumbfounded when they heard this, who would have thought that His Majesty the Emperor's life, His Royal Highness King Wu really came to their Haizhou City, and defeated the Japanese under their Haizhou City!

"It's really King Wu!"

"What the county lord said himself can be fake?"

"Hurry up and open the city gate, greet His Royal Highness King Wu, and greet the county lord!"

With Zhou Zhiqing's words, the gate of Haizhou City, which Zhu Yunxi had just shouted and didn't open without shouting, finally opened slowly.

Zhu Yunxi was so depressed in his heart, he looked at Zhou Zhiqing with an unkind face, thinking about whether to sew his mouth together.

Zhou Zhiqing sensed His Royal Highness King Wu's dissatisfaction, and hurriedly explained with a smile.

"His Royal Highness King Wu should not be angry, this means that the county officials are not as good as taking care of them now."

"Although you are Your Royal Highness King Wu, you are too far away from them. My county master is a real man, and he will definitely not be able to move his nest if he doesn't work for three or five years, do you say they will be afraid of you or me? ”

Zhu Yunxi rolled his eyes when he heard this, and said angrily.

"After entering the city, I ordered someone to clean up some good meals for us, get more fresh vegetables and vegetables, and the wine will be free, and the meat will be ......."

"Kill dozens of fat pigs first, and treat these lonely brothers!"

"Dozens of fat pigs ......"

Zhou Zhiqing heard Zhu Yunxi's lion open his mouth, and his face turned green with anger.

"His Royal Highness King Wu, you still cook me!"

"Why are you cooking, how much meat can you take off your body?"

"You just hang Weichen to the city gate to bleed, and Weichen can't conjure dozens of fat pigs for you!"

Zhu Yunxi was puzzled when he heard this.

"You're a county here, and there aren't even dozens of fat pigs in a huge county?"

Zhou Zhiqing smiled bitterly and shook his head.

"It's not a secret, hundreds of chickens can be made up at once, and dozens of fat pigs are really not."

"Raising pigs consumes grain, and the local people still struggle to feed themselves, where do they get the surplus grain to raise pigs?"

"Moreover, this county is a lower county, and there are only more than 5,000 people in the county, and the annual tax is only a few hundred taels of silver, so this is often in arrears......"

It's true that Haicheng County is poor, but it's fake to be poor like this. This is just the usual routine of civil officials, for fear that it should be too easy and the other party will cause other incidents.

Therefore, crying and pretending to be poor has almost become a basic skill for local officials.

When Zhu Yunxi heard that Haicheng County was such a person, he was numb when he heard it.

This person is too few, you must know that in the later generations, there will be 20,000 people in Uncle Dong's Tazhai Village!

When Zhu Yunxi saw him say this, he immediately waved his hand depressedly.

"Forget it!"

"You don't need to slaughter the chickens, you can steam some rice and boil some vegetable soup for us."

"We still have thousands of catties of fish on board, which can be eaten more or less as meat."

When Zhou Zhiqing heard this, he immediately bowed down.

"His Royal Highness King Wu is wise, this official on behalf of the fathers and elders of the whole city to thank His Royal Highness King Wu for his great kindness!"

The surrounding officers, county lieutenants, chief bookkeepers and others saw Zhou Zhiqing bowing down, and they also knelt down, calling His Royal Highness King Wu to be virtuous.

Although the people on both sides of the street didn't hear what the two said, they saw that the eldest lord, second lord, and third lord of the county town all knelt, and they also knelt down to praise His Royal Highness King Wu.

Zhu Yunxi was a little embarrassed to hear so many people praising him.

"Someone!"

"Bring all the fish on the boat, and distribute the excess fish to the local people!"

If Zhou Zhiqing hadn't interrogated the prisoners in the Criminal Department, he would still be quite good at being an official. Seeing Zhu Yunxi say this, he hurriedly stood up and shouted.

"His Royal Highness King Wu gave the people of the city three thousand catties of fish!"

"Don't you want to thank His Royal Highness King Wu for his great kindness?"

The people who had just stopped, hearing this, hurriedly bowed down again, and the mountain shouted to thank His Royal Highness King Wu and other auspicious words.

Compared with the scene just now, this time it is much more sincere, and there are more smiles on everyone's faces.

When Zhu Yunxi heard the cheers of the people, his heart was also happy, and he felt that he was very great, as if he had done a great deed for the benefit of the country and the people.

When the other three feudal lords heard the cheers of the people, their hearts were also greatly touched, and they felt as if they had learned a little trick to govern their fiefdoms.

It turns out that the common people are so easy to coax, as long as you give them some salted fish, they will praise you for being wise!

Under Zhou Zhiqing's greeting, the people of the whole county were mobilized, lit a fire to cook, boiled water, and warmly greeted Zhu Yunxi and the soldiers brought by Zhu Yunxi.

Zhou Zhiqing himself even gave up his county government to serve as the palace of His Royal Highness King Wu, and let His Royal Highness King Wu and several other princes move in to live.

The poor three little princes have been fooled out by Zhu Yunxi for so many days, and it is the first time that they have slept in a serious house.

Several people soaked in the big bathtub, so comfortable that they almost cried.

They haven't even taken a hot shower on the ship these days!

When the four little princes were taking a hot bath, a group of villagers in Haizhou City gathered together to plot this earth-shattering event.

The city of Haizhou is located on a peninsula along the coast, and the sea is connected to the land at low tide, and a large area is submerged at high tide.

Therefore, they have suffered from the scourge of the Japanese all the year round, not to mention that every family has a grudge against the Japanese bandits, but at least half of the people have relatives and friends who have died under the sword of the Japanese invaders.

"Lord County, you can intercede with His Royal Highness King Wu for us, and let him give us some of the heads of the Wakos!"

"Yes!"

"My father went out to sea to fish in his early years, but he died at the hands of the Japanese Kou, and I, the unfilial piety of a son, have not been able to avenge my father."

"If there is a Japanese head to pay tribute to the deceased father, it is enough to comfort the soul of the deceased father in the sky, woo woo woo woo ......"

"I beg the county lord, you can let His Royal Highness King Wu be accommodating, we don't ask for it in vain, we will give money......"

"Give money?"

Zhou Zhiqing's eyelids jumped when he heard the words "give money", how could he say that he was also an official in the capital, and knew that the virtuous His Royal Highness King Wu was the most greedy for money.

If you talk about giving money, it's not that it's non-negotiable.

"Ahem!"

"His Royal Highness King Wu is a nobleman, how can he be the one who is short of money, if you give too little, this official is not willing to be bored......"

"Lord Zhou, do you think that if a head is one hundred taels of silver, can His Royal Highness King Wu sell it?"

When Zhou Zhiqing heard this, his eyes popped out in shock.

One hundred taels of silver, he can't wait to tear off his head and sell it!

What is the concept of a hundred taels of silver, a ploughing ox is only about ten taels of silver. An acre of good paddy field is only a dozen taels of silver.

These big dogs cry to themselves every day, saying that their families are so poor that they can't open the pot.

However, as soon as I heard that I was going to buy the head of the Japanese Kou, I said that I would take it for a hundred taels of silver, and I didn't even blink an eyelid!

"Ahem......"

"In this case, it's not that this official can't help you talk about it, it's just that this official didn't defend against the Japanese invaders a few days ago, and he just got on the guilty plea, I'm afraid he will be locked up and brought into Beijing in a few days, and I'm really not in the mood to say anything for you......"

When a group of big dogs heard this, they knew what they thought about it with a roll of their eyes.

"Don't worry, sir!"

"I'm willing to spend another two hundred taels for each family to buy twenty heads for the county lord."

"With such military merits, even if the court blames you, you can offset the merits......"

As soon as Zhu Yunxi finished taking a shower, he heard Zhou Zhiqing come to visit.

Zhu Yunxi secretly sighed at the tenacity of this person's vitality, even if he was only injured in the back, the wound was not very deep, there was no need to be so diligent, right?

"Pass it on, let's see what this old guy has to say!"

Not long after, Zhou Zhiqing was escorted into his county office, and when he saw His Royal Highness King Wu sitting on his favorite recliner and wandering gracefully, Zhou Zhiqing hurriedly knelt down and saluted.

"Weichen Zhou Zhiqing, meet His Royal Highness King Wu."

"Get up!"

"Speak up if you have something to say!"

When Zhou Zhiqing heard this, he immediately took out a piece of music and handed it over.

"His Royal Highness King Wu, this is a request written by Weichen for you, please take a look!"

As soon as Zhu Yunxi heard that he was asking for merit for himself, he couldn't care about pretending to be reserved anymore, so he jumped down from the recliner and looked at it with his performance.

I have to say that Zhou Zhiqing's writing is still good, not only depicting the grand scene of the fight against the Japanese invaders, but also tearfully expounding the spirit of His Royal Highness King Wu and his subordinates who fought hard and forgot to die.

Even if Zhu Yunxi is so cheeky, after seeing such an exaggerated performance, he still feels red and heartbeat.

"Lord Zhou, it's too good!"

"You said let Gu say what you ordered, although Gu fought bravely to kill the enemy, and there were hundreds of Japanese robbers in his hands, but you didn't praise Gu so much, which made Gu Duo embarrassed to ......"

"If you let the imperial grandfather see it, you should think it's a lonely braggadocio again, hehehehe......"

Zhou Zhiqing smiled when he heard this.

"His Royal Highness King Wu is too humble, you definitely deserve the praise of the king's teacher. However, what you just said about the more than 100 Japanese swords, Wei Chen was in a coma at that time, and he was unable to appreciate His Highness's peerless bravery, which is really a pity! ”

"When the official takes the song back and re-transcribes it, be sure to write out the matter of His Highness cutting hundreds of Japanese and leading the people to annihilate 3,000 Japanese invaders!"

"Zhou County Order, wouldn't it be too exaggerated to write like this?"

"Back to Your Highness, this is a document for the imperial court, so naturally it should be exaggerated. Otherwise, it is not enough to boast of His Highness's merits! ”

"In addition, this is also the practice of the imperial court, and other border generals also do this. It's just that I will write to His Majesty in private, explaining in detail what happened......"

Zhu Yunxi saw Zhou Zhiqing like this, and happily held his hand on the spot.

"Alas!"

"I was offended a lot before, and I actually offended Zhongliang, I really regret it!"

"In the future, you will be a lonely person, the thirteen political envoys of the Ming Dynasty, where do you want to be an official and say to Lone, Lone will definitely go to the Emperor Grandpa to protect you!"

When Zhou Zhiqing heard this, he was called a sweat in his heart, and His Royal Highness King Wu was too easy to coax.

In addition, does His Royal Highness King Wu have any misunderstanding about His Majesty today?

Don't say that he is only an imperial grandson now, even if he is the imperial grandson, he has no right to arrange officials and appoint cronies, right?

"Thank you, Your Royal Highness King Wu, for your kindness!"

"It's just that the imperial court uses officials to select officials, and it has its own court law, so His Royal Highness King Wu still doesn't have to worry about this trivial matter of being a lower official."

Zhu Yunxi was just polite, just talking to Zhou Zhiqing.

He still has a certain understanding of the bad old man in the Qianqing Palace, and if he really dares to interfere in the appointment of officials, the bad old man will definitely kill him.

"Since Lord Zhou said so, then Gu will not be polite to you. If you're fine, don't disturb Lone's sleep, go back and rewrite the song! ”

"The lower officials still have one more thing to ask for......"

"What?"

"The people of this city want to ask His Highness to let some Japanese people ...... heads"

When Zhu Yunxi heard this, she was like a little girl who had been insulted, and she exploded on the spot.

"What are you kidding, this is a real military feat, how can this king let it out for no reason!"

"His Royal Highness King Wu, the people of this city said to give money......"

"You can't give money!"

"No amount of money!"

"This is honor, the honor of a soldier!"

"What about a hundred taels and one?"

"A hundred taels is not ...... It's not that it's not negotiable......"

Zhu Yunxi silently summed it up, and today he killed a total of 234 Japanese heads. Except for a half-soldier with a name and a surname, who planned to collect it himself, the other two hundred and thirty-three Japanese heads could be sold.

After all, none of the people under him had a serious official or military status, but they were hired privately in the name of King Wu. Even if they were incorporated into the Wu Wang Guards, they were only local grass-headed soldiers, and they were still quite different from the officers and soldiers.

Even if they carried the head of the Japanese in their hands, they could not convert it into military merit.

In addition, the imperial court's treatment of military merit rewards is actually quite poor, if they really follow the process of the imperial court, they can get a few taels of silver for a person, which is considered good.

Zhu Yunxi was originally a pragmatic person, but now when he heard that someone was willing to spend such a high price to buy a Japanese head, he was a little tempted on the spot.

However, he did not open his mouth to admit it immediately, but said that he would ask his soldiers first.

After all, they kill people, and you have to ask their opinions.

"I'll discuss this matter with my subordinates, and I'll give you an answer tomorrow morning!"

"Then the next official will leave!"

Zhu Yunxi ordered people to go outside the city overnight and called more than a dozen hundred households in, and as soon as he told them about this, everyone's eyes lit up, and they agreed quietly.

"Your Highness, this is a great thing!"

"They are willing to pay such a high price for the heads of the Japanese Bandits, and the little ones can wake up laughing in their dreams!"

"The little ones are afraid that they will buy less, and they won't be able to wrap the heads of those pirates!"

"Ahem, silence!"

"You can't always think about money, you have to think about the glory of soldiers!"

"Glory understands?"

"I don't understand!"

"We know that with this reward, we can go home to buy a house and buy a land, and then buy a cow, so that the family doesn't have to ask grandpa to borrow someone else's cattle to use ......."

Zhu Yunxi saw everyone say this, so he had to reluctantly agree.

"Okay!"

"Tomorrow, the Japanese official will count with them again and ask them how much they can buy."

"Okay!"

When everyone heard that His Royal Highness King Wu had agreed, they left happily one by one, and the entire military camp was insomnia that night, and everyone was thinking about what to spend when they got the reward.

Some said that they would buy a few good pieces of cloth for their father and mother to make clothes, some said that they wanted to marry their daughters-in-law as a dowry, and some said that they would buy an acre of paddy fields for their families, so that their families would be able to eat white rice in the future......

Zhu Yunxi also lost sleep, because he knew that with the strength of Haizhou City, he would not be able to eat so many Japanese heads.

In addition, if he sells his head, then what else can he do to ask the imperial grandfather for credit?

You can't give him credit here, he can't even take out his head when he goes back, isn't it just being laughed at?

Therefore, after being entangled repeatedly, he ordered someone to call Zhou Zhiqing over again, and the two hid in the house for half the night, re-wrote a note, and unified the caliber.

Zhou Zhiqing reciprocated the favor by contacting the buyer on behalf of Zhu Yunxi and selling the remaining Japanese heads to neighboring prefectures and counties.

Na Cheng thought, this thing is too sought-after, Huai'an Mansion Mansion asked for 300 pieces alone, and other surrounding county yamen are also more than 100 pieces.

So, the people who found a little trick to make a fortune were not in a hurry to go to Japan, and first turned around the coastal islands of Daming.

Under the suppression of their powerful firepower, the Japanese pirates on the nearby islands were swept away, and finally barely met the needs of Huai'an Prefecture.

……

When Zhu Yunxi led a group of stragglers to make a fortune, Lao Zhu in the Qianqing Palace was looking at a bunch of Japanese robbers attacking him in a daze.

On the first day of the first month of this month, the Japanese invaders landed in Tianjia Village, slaughtered 13 villagers, and burned a number of houses.

Tian Wenshangshu, the prefect of Dengzhou, pleaded guilty, and 300 Japanese robbers attacked Caoxi Town, slaughtered more than 200 villagers, and plundered goods without counting......

Lao Zhu closed the recital and sighed secretly, this year's widows seem to be more rampant than in previous years!

"Come on, spread the word that Song Guogong, Ying Guogong, and Xinguo Gong entered the palace for questioning!"

"In addition, the three Shangshu of the Ministry of Households, the Ministry of War, and the Ministry of Industry have entered the palace!"

"No!"

When the Second Tiger sent someone to "shake people", Lao Zhu picked up the fold and looked at it with a lot of heart.

Whenever he saw the attack of the Japanese in various places, Lao Zhu's heart would sink.

In fact, since the eldest grandson left, Lao Zhu has been worried about the safety of the eldest grandson all the time, for fear that the eldest grandson and his party will encounter the widows.

Therefore, he issued orders several times, ordering coastal prefectures and counties and health offices to make every effort to exterminate the Japanese invaders.

Any official who failed to resist the Japanese was reprimanded by him at the least, and at worst he was directly locked up in Beijing and dismissed from his post and imprisoned.

But even so, he didn't think that this move could be very lethal to the Japanese invaders.

After all, there is only a thousand days to be a thief, how can there be a reason to prevent thieves for a thousand days?

In addition, the Japanese have no fixed place to live and wander around. Today you may loot here, and tomorrow you may go to the other place and set fires.

Based on this characteristic of the Japanese Invaders, let alone relying on the strength of the coastal prefectures and counties, even if he mobilized a large army to deal with the Japanese Invaders, he would not achieve much success.

Not long after, three princes and three Shangshu entered the palace.

As soon as a few people entered the palace, they saw His Majesty the Emperor standing on the map of the Ming Dynasty, stepping on the area of the Wa Kingdom, carrying a stick in his hand, and comparing and studying something on the map.

When everyone saw this scene, their hearts sank. It seems that His Majesty is going to use troops against the Japanese Invaders!

"Ministers meet Your Majesty, Your Majesty ......"

"Excuse me!"

"Ladies and gentlemen, come and see, if you want to exterminate the Japanese at sea, what do we have to do?"

When everyone heard this, they sighed in their hearts. Your Majesty is so red-eyed that you have even forgotten the national policy you set in your early years......

After the founding of the People's Republic of China, Zhu Yuanzhang set a country that would not be conquered, and listed 15 countries such as Japan, Korea, Ryukyu, Annam, Siam, and Java as countries that were not to be conquered.

The reason why Lao Zhu set such a "self-contained" national policy is actually one reason. These countries are too far away from the Central Plains, separated by mountains and seas, and are also an enclave, and with the means of transportation at that time in the Ming Dynasty, effective governance and management could not be achieved at all.

Rather than fighting it at the expense of the people, it is better to give up at the beginning and not even think about it.

How arrogant and powerful Meng Yuan was back then, didn't he also overturn in the small country of Japan?

But now that the eldest grandson may be attacked by the Japanese at any time, Lao Zhu can no longer take care of the national policy of "a country that does not conquer" he set in his early years, and begins to think about mobilizing troops against Japan, a small land.

"Your Majesty, there is nothing to worry about, it is just a disease of scabies in the Ming Dynasty."

"However, if you want to completely cure it, it is as difficult as the sky."

"Even if Your Majesty raises a large army, builds a big boat, sails on the sea, and goes on an expedition to defeat Japan, it will not be able to curb the arrogance of the Japanese invaders."

"After all, our Daming coast is wide, there are hundreds of coastal prefectures and counties, and the Japanese are ghostly, and there is no fixed residence, even if our Daming army dispatches a million troops, it is difficult to completely wipe it out!"

"Unless all the people along the coast retreat inland, and form a fortress to protect themselves, and the beacons are connected to each other, and the horns are guarded......"

When everyone heard Ru Yu say this, they all nodded secretly.

Even if it was Tang He, the prince of Xinguo, he did not have the slightest objection to Ru Yu's words, and even felt that his words were the words of Lao Cheng to seek the country.

Because the Japanese are so difficult, if you really mobilize an army to fight him, he will run faster than a rabbit. But as soon as your army withdraws, he doesn't know when it will come out again.

In his early years, he led his troops to fight against the Japanese in the coastal area, but after several years, the number of Japanese pirates did not decrease, but they became more and more fought.

In the end, the imperial court really couldn't afford the military expenses, so they transferred him back and asked him to do something else.

Therefore, after Ru Yu said this, he was the first to stand up and echo.

"Your Majesty, Ru Yushangshu's words are not unreasonable."

"There is no way to solve the problem of the Japanese invaders once and for all, even if Your Majesty fights with the strength of the whole country, it is like swatting flies with a fan, even if you use all your strength, it is difficult to swatt the flies to death."

"Even if Your Majesty destroys the Wa Kingdom, it will not work, because many Wako can't get along in the Wa Kingdom, so they come to Daming to rob their homes."

When Lao Zhu heard the words of the two, his face suddenly became gloomy.

"We didn't call you here, not to listen to your complaints!"

"Now we want you to say a word, how many troops do we have to mobilize, how many manpower and material resources do we have to use, in order to return a peace to the southeast coast!"

The two of them immediately shut up when they heard this, in fact, what Ru Yu said just now was very clear, just letting the coastal people retreat inland was already something that could not be done at all.

After all, this is not a matter of one government and one county, but a major matter that will implicate several provinces, millions, or even tens of millions of people.

This alone costs hundreds of millions of dollars in money and food, which is not at all what the current Ming can bear.

As for the mobilization of troops......

Back then, Tang He led tens of thousands of people to fight the Japanese all year round, but what was the result, isn't it still the same every year?

Lao Zhu saw that everyone was pretending to be dumb again, and roared angrily.

"You're talking!"

"We summoned you to the palace, not to make you dumb!"

Fu Youde and Feng Sheng glanced at each other, and then stood up and said.

"Your Majesty, the minister is willing to ask for 30,000 soldiers to pursue the Japanese along the Daming coast, and be sure to protect the safety of the people in the southeast!"

"The minister is also willing to go!"

Both of them knew very well in their hearts that His Majesty's sudden idea of exterminating the Japanese was nothing more than to provide a security guarantee for the three emperors.

Therefore, neither of them dared to ask for too many people, as long as there were 30,000 people walking along the coast of Daming, it was enough to deter the Japanese and make them dare not cause trouble easily.

When Tang He heard the words of the two, he also realized His Majesty's purpose.

Your Majesty doesn't want to fight the Japanese at all, he's just worried about the eldest grandson!

Then this is easy to do, just keep an eye on the grandson's movements and drive the army over.

"Your Majesty, although the minister's legs and feet are not good, he is also willing to go!"

Lao Zhu heard the three of them say in unison, and his gloomy face showed a hint of relief.

"Since everyone is willing to fight, let's discuss a countermeasure!"

Fu Youde marched more steadily, and said immediately.

"Your Majesty, Weichen is willing to lead 30,000 troops and divide the army into three groups, which are stationed in Shandong, Huai'an, and Chongming."

"And mobilize the prefectures, counties, and health centers along the way. Although the coastal guard station neglected training, it was not a big problem for them to let the wind go and light a beacon fire. ”

"In this way, as long as the nearby army sees the beacon fire, it can be killed as soon as possible!"

Feng Sheng saw Fu Youde say this, and thought that he really had no better way, so he stubbornly said, "I'm the same!" ”

Relatively speaking, Tang He has really fought with the Japanese and knows the difficulty of the Japanese invaders.

"Your Majesty, it is not enough to be on the shore, the imperial court should also build warships, sweep the surrounding islands on one side, burn down the houses of the Japanese on the islands, and cut off their retreat."

"Such a two-pronged approach to the integration of land and sea is a good strategy to deal with the enemy."

"However, if you want to keep the peace of the sea forever, then the imperial court must always have a navy and constantly sweep the coastal islands to prevent them from breeding for pirates."

Chen Zongli, the head of the household department, jumped when he heard this, and now that Lan Yu is leading the troops, he has already spent all the money in the treasury. If you do what Tang He said, then you will strangle him, the head of the household!

"Your Majesty, the imperial treasury is empty, and there is really no money to build a warship......

"Moreover, the cost of building a warship is quite average, and there is a lot of maintenance costs every year......

"And it costs not only money to train a sailor, but also time......"

Lao Zhu was also irritable when he heard this, he didn't know that the water keeper would cost money, but when he thought of the eldest grandson floating on the sea and helpless, his heart felt as uncomfortable as if he had twisted his twist.

"The matter of the navy will be discussed later, but now we will study how to fight the Japanese from the land!"

As soon as Chen Zongli heard this, he knew that His Majesty the Emperor didn't listen to his words at all, and he also had a little temper. No matter what others say, he doesn't have any money.

"Your Majesty, the minister leads 30,000 ...... soldiers"

"No money!"

"Now the imperial court can't even get food and salary......"

Seeing Chen Zongli say this, Qin Kui also stood up and agreed.

"There is a lot of surplus ordnance, but most of them are bows and arrows, I wonder if there are so many archers in the army?"

"In addition, there are not many armor and the like, and there was a fire in the previous military battle bureau that burned a lot of ......"

"That 10,000 troops can always afford it, right?"

"Ten thousand people, ......"

Chen Zongli was just about to agree, when he suddenly heard hurried footsteps outside the door.

"Your Majesty, great joy!"

"Haizhou City Good News, Haizhou City and County Order Zhou Zhiqing, led the county's officers and soldiers to cooperate with the Chongming Naval Division, defeated the Japanese Invaders, and wiped out more than 3,000 Japanese Invaders!"

When Lao Zhu heard the word "good news", his face showed joy, and he hurriedly greeted him, snatching the report from the little eunuch's hand.

However, he only looked at it for a moment before slamming the paperwork to the ground.

"Ridiculous!"

"Ridiculous!"

"Zhou Zhiqing is really a dog's aurel, he even dares to go to such a false merit paperwork, he really thinks that our emperor is blind!"

The three bigwigs in the army didn't have anything to say when they heard this, because the three of them didn't care about local affairs at all, and they didn't even know where Haizhou City was.

They don't know, but it doesn't mean that the other three Shangshu don't know. Especially Chen Zongli, the secretary of the household department, can be said to have thirteen political envoys in the Ming Dynasty, and thousands of prefectures and counties are all in his head.

When His Majesty the Emperor said the three words of Haizhou City, information about the population and taxes of Haizhou City automatically appeared in his mind.

The total population of Haizhou City is 5,860 people, and they pay 1,200 taels of taxes every year, and they are in arrears every year......

Chen Zongli came here, and he also had some complaints about Zhou Zhiqing in his heart. Even if this guy is made up, he has a decent amount of people, how many people are there in Haizhou City, and he dares to say that he has annihilated so many widows, this is playing people like fools, right?

Also, what the hell is this Chongming sailor?

Isn't the Chongming Sailor in Songjiang Mansion, when did he go to Huai'an Mansion?

That's a cross of bounds, right?

Lao Zhu also quickly realized the problem, and hurriedly looked at Ru Yu on the side.

"Ru Yu, can the military department have any recent transfer of troops?"

Ru Yu was so frightened when she heard this that she knelt on the ground on the spot.

"Your Majesty, how dare Weichen mobilize the army without your edict?"

"It must be the Chongming sailor who sent troops privately......"

When Ru Yu said this, she suddenly couldn't go on. Because he suddenly remembered something, yesterday he also received a report from his subordinates, saying that several commanders of the Navy Division Guard had come to Beijing to report on their work, as if one of them was the Chongming Navy Master.

"Your Majesty, something is wrong!"

"The commander of the Chongming Navy Division is in the capital, how can the Chongming Navy Master go to Huai'an Mansion to kill the Japanese Kou?"

When Fu Youde, Feng Sheng, and Tang He heard this, their eyes lit up, and they suddenly thought of a possibility, a possibility that they all found incredible.

"Your Majesty, could it be His Royal Highness the Third Emperor Sun who did it?"

"Him?"

When Lao Zhu thought of this, he also felt a burst of eagerness rise in his heart, and he couldn't wait to bring the grandson back for interrogation on the spot.

"Then the grandson shouldn't have such a big ability, right?"

Seeing that His Majesty the Emperor did not deny it at the first time, the three of them hurriedly knelt down to congratulate.

"Congratulations to Your Majesty, congratulations to Your Majesty!"

"The Three Emperors Sun Array beheaded three thousand Japanese Emperors, greatly raising the prestige of my Ming Dynasty!"

Lao Zhu heard the three of them say this, and his face also showed joy. It's just that I'm still a little worried in my heart, for fear that this matter will be wrong, and it won't end well in the end.

"You Aiqing, don't kill that turtle grandson, how can that turtle grandson have such a great ability, maybe it's really Chongming Shui Shi's doing?"

"Ru Yu, didn't you just say that the commander of the Chongming Navy Division is in the capital, hurry up and order someone to find it, let's ask it in person!"

"No!"

When Qin Deshun heard this, he hurriedly ordered people to go out of the palace to find someone, and after looking for an hour, he found a few people from the Chongming Water Master in a Goolan Washer that could not be put on the table.

"Lord Zhongguan, why did Your Majesty suddenly summon us and others?"

"How do we know this, but I heard that it seems to be your affair!"

"Huh?"

The commander of the Chongming Naval Division, Tian Chusan, and the commander Weng De, were dumbfounded when they heard this, didn't the two of them just secretly lead people out to sea and touch some fish, which alarmed His Majesty the Emperor?

The two of them followed the little eunuch into the palace with trepidation, and as soon as they entered the Qianqing Palace, they were startled by the scene in front of them.

I saw a room full of officials, at least wearing the official uniforms of three-grade peacocks. The two people guarding the door were even more terrifying, and there were two big unicorns on their chests.

This is an official mansion that can only be worn by people at the level of the national government!

When the two saw such a big pomp in the house, they were so frightened that they cried on the spot.

Didn't the two of them just go out to sea to catch some fish, why did they have such a big lawsuit!

However, when the two of them saw a "red gold dragon" behind the two unicorns, they immediately knelt on the ground in fright, banging their heads.

"The lowly Chongming Sailor commands Tian Chusan, meet the superior, long live the superior, long live the superior!"

"The lowly Chongming sailor commands the servant Weng De to meet Your Majesty, long live Your Majesty, long live Long live, long live......"

Lao Zhu heard that the little Chongming Sailor Commander actually called himself "superior", and immediately brought a little curiosity.

Generally speaking, those who dare to call themselves superiors are the "old men" who followed them back then.

"Are you the third child of the Tian family?"

"Your father's name is Tian Sixi, and he used to be a personal soldier with us?"

When Tian Chusan heard this, he hugged Lao Zhu's thigh and cried on the spot.

"The superior master, the humble position is really just sneaking some fish, and nothing else has been done!"

"Your old man is for the sake of my father blocking the knife for you, spare the villain's life, woo woo woo ......"

When Lao Zhu heard this, he immediately raised his eyebrows, and hurriedly motioned for someone to pull this person away.

"Don't howl!"

"Let's call you into the palace for questioning, it's not because of that little thing about touching fish and shrimp!"

"Let's ask you, have you ever been to Huai'an Mansion this month?"

"Superior, let me ask, where is Huai'an?"
