The conditions offered by Yoshihiro Ouchi made Kuga Yoritsu very excited.

Now the most urgent need of their Zhuming Society is their own territory, only with their own territory, their organization can develop and grow, and start a protracted war with the Ming Dynasty.

"Good!"

"Your Excellency Yoshihiro rest assured, the servant will do his best to promote this matter!"

Yoshihiro Ouchi saw that I said this, and a relieved smile finally appeared on his face.

In fact, he had little interest in supporting the emperor, and he only wanted to use this group of young people to enter the political circle of Kyoto.

During the period when Kuga Laitong was hiding in Qingshui Temple, Wei Ming's arrest of Xuming Society officially kicked off.

Early the next morning, the people who entered and exited Kyoto Castle saw a spectacular scene.

The towering castle walls are covered with human heads, and the entire city of Kyoto is like a living hell.

Among them, the relatives of the deceased saw their own family hanging on the city wall, kneeling under the city gate, and let out a heart-rending cry.

"Heavens, what the hell happened, why was the husband's head hung on the city wall!"

"Son!"

"Son, you died so miserably!"

The guards guarding the gate saw that someone under the city gate dared to cry for the traitor, and immediately arrested the person who was about to mourn.

"Shut up!"

"You untouchables, if you dare to cry for this group of traitors, I will arrest you and put you in prison!"

The threat of the guards immediately aroused public outrage, and many people who did not think it was a big deal to see the excitement joined the protest.

Seeing that the matter was getting bigger, the guards hurriedly reported the news to the new Minister of Imperial Affairs, Minoru Sanjo.

Sanjo Shino was in a hurry to show his loyalty to the envoy of the Ming Dynasty, and when he heard that someone dared to mourn the traitor in broad daylight, he immediately ordered a team of 500 people and slaughtered them to the gate of the city, arresting all those who were crying.

"Arrest all these Diao people, torture and interrogate them about their relationship with the traitors!"

"Once it is determined that they are in the same party as the traitors, they will all be beheaded on the spot!"

"Hayi!"

The officers and soldiers of the Kyoto guards were not good at fighting, but they were still very good at bullying the common people, and they soon captured the thousands of civilians gathered at the city gate, and then interrogated them severely.

The results of the interrogation were very clear that these people were family members or relatives of the traitors.

In this way, whether it is according to the laws of Japan or according to the laws of the Ming Dynasty, they can be regarded as legally targeted.

Therefore, the next day there was another group of people at the city gate.

It's just that this batch of heads has a lot more women, children, and old people than the previous batch.

Sanjo Mino's harsh punishment immediately shocked the people of the entire Kyoto, so that not only did they not dare to talk nonsense, but they did not even dare to go out on the street.

In this way, the bustling city of Kyoto suddenly became a ghost town, a quiet city like a ghost.

Wei Ming only stayed in the palace for one day before returning to the barracks, and was determined not to stay in the palace.

Although no one dared to say anything even if he lived in the palace, he always remembered that he was a courtier of the Ming Dynasty and abided by his duty as a courtier.

Even if the imperial palace of Japan is empty, he, as a courtier, cannot trespass.

However, Wei Ming still insisted on entering the Kyoto Imperial Palace every day to deal with the official affairs delayed by the vacancies of the emperor and the shogun.

As for whether this move is legal or not, he doesn't care, in his opinion, he is the law in Japan!

"My lord, what do you think of the governance of Kyoto?"

Wei Ming looked at the deserted street, and then at the flattering Sanjo Shino, and his eyebrows were twisted into a Sichuan character.

"It's overkill!"

Hearing this, Minoru Sanjo hurriedly explained.

"My lord, overkill must be overdone!"

"The so-called troubled times should be re-enacted!"

"Today, these Diao people dare to oppose Daming, and they dare not imagine what they can do tomorrow!"

"Therefore, we must adopt harsh punishment to strangle their absurd ideas in the cradle!"

Wei Ming smiled and nodded when he heard this.

"Good!"

"There are three practical people like Shino, which is really the blessing of my Ming Dynasty and the blessing of the society!"

When Sanjo Mino heard this compliment, he only felt that his bones were crispy.

"Villain, thank you for your compliment!"

"The villain took the liberty of asking, when will the appointment letter of Daming arrive, the villain ......"

Wei Ming said impatiently when he heard this.

"What's the hurry!"

"This official has already reported your appointment by telegram, and it is no surprise that your appointment and dismissal documents and official uniforms will be delivered with the fleet next month!"

"Ahh

Sanjo Minoru rubbed his hands excitedly when he heard this.

"Great!"

"With the appointment of the Ming Dynasty, the villain is a member of the Ming officials, even if the emperor and the general return to China in the future, they will not dare to do anything to the villain!"

Wei Ming smiled slightly when he heard this, and no longer cared about this traitor to Japan who betrayed the country for glory.

"The investigation of the party of the Zhuming Society should be strengthened."

"Whether you can obtain the household registration of the Ming Dynasty in the future, and whether future generations can participate in the Ming imperial examination and become Ming officials, depends on whether you work hard to hunt down the traitors!"

"Hayi!"

"Don't worry, my lord, the villain has already sent someone to surround my family, as long as I dare to show up, she will be unable to fly!"

Wei Ming listened to Sanjo Shino's assurance, and only let out a sneer in his heart.

In fact, he doesn't care about the so-called Zhuming Society, in the face of the powerful force of the Ming Dynasty, the emperor and the shogun are all paper-paste, and the Zhuming Society is not a problem.

He just wanted to find something to do for Sanjo Shino, so that the Japanese people knew one thing, that is, it was Sanjo Shino who killed them, and it had nothing to do with their Ming Dynasty!

But this was only Wei Ming's unilateral idea, and the moment he ordered the Ming soldiers to shoot the Japanese ronin samurai, he was already on the opposite side of the Japanese people.

When Wei Ming rode a tall horse and led the guards across the long street, walking towards the direction of the palace.

In the houses facing the street, a pair of hateful eyes stared at him.

"It's him!"

"He was the one who ordered the killing of five hundred warriors!"

"These 500 warriors died unjustly, they just wanted to make a proposal to the emperor, they didn't want to rebel at all......"

"The Ming people are hateful, they occupy my silver mines, deceive my people, buy my grain, and cause my Japanese people to starve all over the wilderness......"

"Shhhh......h

"Now the traitor is very strong, and if he is slightly implicated, he will be designated as a traitor!"

"Why do we ordinary people care so much, no matter who is the emperor, we are all starving and suffering......"

"In comparison, Da Ming is better for us. I've heard that people who mine for Daming can eat white rice every meal, and they can also eat big meat every three or five days! ”

"Big meat?"

"Yes!"

"It is said that it is the saying of the Ming Dynasty, where the meat of pigs, cattle and sheep is called big meat, and meat such as chicken, duck and fish is called white meat."

"The meat they eat is all transported from Daming......"

"Really?"

"Then I'll go mine for Daming tomorrow!"

Unconsciously, the seeds of hatred have been planted in the hearts of some people, but there are also many more people who have accepted the rule of the Ming Dynasty and are willing to be obedient citizens under the rule of the Ming Dynasty.

After hiding in Kiyomizuji Temple for a few days, he saw that the realm of Kyoto City had relaxed a little, so he immediately returned to the city in disguise.

But he didn't dare to stay for a long time this time, but hurriedly ran away after gathering a group of members and announcing the recruitment of Yoshihiro Ouchi as a new member.

After Kuga Yoritsu left, Vice President Gen Toshiyi took advantage of the resentment of the people of Kyoto Castle against Sanjo Mino, and organized three assassinations against Sanjo Mino.

Although the three assassinations ended in failure, and brought Sanjo Minoru closer to the Ming Dynasty, launching an even more frenzied revenge against the people of Kyoto. However, these three assassinations still dealt a heavy blow to the arrogance of the pro-Ming faction, so that everyone in the capital of the ministers and nobles was in danger and did not dare to blatantly hold poetry meetings and tea parties.

Kuga Yoritsu fled to the Nagato area, and with the help of Ouchi Yoshihiro, he also successfully organized two Iwami silver mine strikes.

As a result of the strike, one hundred and thirty-four Japanese, including miners, were killed, and three Ming soldiers were seriously wounded.

Although this move did not cause much harm to the mining area, it seriously hindered the interests of the mine supervisor and the officers and men guarding the mine.

Because according to the laws and regulations formulated by the Ming court, their salary standards are set according to the amount of mining.

The more mines Iwami mined, the higher their salaries.

For a long time, I Laitong organized a workers' strike, which seriously damaged their interests.

Therefore, under the leadership of General Yan Yi, the mine supervisor, they changed from blindly defending to taking the initiative.

"General Yan, this group of thieves has come and gone without a trace, where can we catch them!"

"Don't worry, there must be a way!"

"This general can offer a reward, as long as someone reports the details of this group, reward them with one hundred taels of silver!"

"One hundred taels ......"

As soon as Yan Yi's words came out, several hundred households under his hands pouted for a while.

"General Yan, isn't a hundred taels a little less, I'm afraid no one can look at it, right?"

Yan Yi thought about it, it was really possible, one hundred taels was a huge amount of money in other places, but it was nothing if it was placed in their silver mine.

Although the wages of these Japanese absentees are only a few dozen wen a day, they are in charge of food and shelter, as well as the food rations of their whole family, and their money has almost become useless.

"Then what can I do, I can't give them 10,000 taels of silver, right?"

One of the 100 households.

"Adult, there is a way for the small one!"

"Say!"

"There are a few foremen under the small hands, and they have asked the small ones more than once, can they immigrate to Daming and obtain Daming household registration......"

Yan Yi immediately interrupted when he heard this.

"Stop!"

"Now Daming is different from the past, and Daming's household registration is expensive. The homeless people who ran to the mountains in the early years are now crying and shouting to settle down, and the magistrates are still reluctant to accept what they want to take cards! ”

"The country fart people here in Japan also want the Ming household registration, it's just wishful thinking!"

When Baihu heard this, he said in frustration.

"Then there is no way......"

While Yan Yi was meditating, his subordinates suddenly ran in to report.

"General, it's a big deal, our mine in the West District has been blown up!"

"What!"

"Have you ever hurt anyone?"

"I don't know!"

"I just heard that there should be a hundred and ten people inside, but now life and death are uncertain!"

Hearing this, Yan Yi hurriedly led people to the mine in the West District, and when he saw the appearance of the mine being blown up, his heart became cold.

"Mobilize all the miners, do nothing today, just dig this mine, and be sure to dig the mine again!"

"No!"

Soon, hundreds of people gathered to clean up the mine, not that Yan Yi didn't want to call more people over, but the space around the mine was too narrow, and these hundreds of people were divided into three shifts.

After ten hours of excavation, the mine was finally re-excavated, and the trapped miners were rescued.

After counting the casualties, except for two miners who were close to the explosion area and were buried alive on the spot, the rest of the miners were lucky enough to save their lives.

The rescued miners and their families kowtowed to Yan Yi and thanked him for saving his life.

Only Yan Yi himself knew that he only wanted to rescue this vein at first, and as for the people inside, he had already thought that they were all dead.

But now that he has successfully rescued people, he will not waste this good opportunity.

"You don't have to thank me, I am also acting in accordance with the will of His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty!"

"My Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty loves the people of the world, and I can't see anyone suffering the most."

"If this official can't rescue you alive, he will inevitably be punished by His Majesty the Ming Emperor, and this official is also protecting himself, hahaha!"

Everyone laughed as they heard Yan Yi's hearty laughter, and in an instant, the haze caused by the collapse of the mine blew away, and everyone's faces reappeared with the light of hope.

After Yan Yi laughed for a while, his face suddenly became serious.

"Ladies and gentlemen, this time we were lucky that only two people died."

"But if there is a next time, what about the next time, we may not be so lucky, right?"

"Therefore, this gang of traitors must be caught!"

"Whoever can provide accurate information about this gang of traitors, the official will reward them with a thousand taels of silver......"

When Yan Yi said this, he had been observing the faces of the Japanese absenteeism around him. Seeing that they were really as uninterested as his subordinates said, Yan Yi gritted his teeth and added another one.

"If the official follows the clues and catches someone, the official will play His Majesty the Ming Emperor and apply for the Ming household registration for him, so that his descendants can enjoy the blessings of the people of the Ming Dynasty!"

As soon as Yan Yi said this, the eyes of the Japanese absentees around him suddenly lit up, and several of the Japanese foremen were even more eager to try.

"Lord Yan, are you serious?"

"Seriously!"

"But this official is only responsible for playing, and the court is not allowed to do it, and this official can not say that it is good!"

"If an adult can have this heart, it proves that we have not followed the adult in vain!"

"We are not greedy, as long as the adults can play a book for us and allow us to join the Ming household registration, we will be content!"

These Japanese foremen are not stupid, Daming's household registration may not be worth much in Daming, but it is a well-known gold-lettered signboard in Japan.

As long as they get the Ming household registration, they don't have to move to the Ming Dynasty at all, and they can be powerful in Japan with this household registration, whether it is the local Ming Dynasty, or the samurai and public families in Kyoto dare not bully them.

"Come on, come on, who will tell me the origin of this gang of thieves!"

"My lord, I know ......"

A foreman ran out and said with a flattering face.

"My lord, I heard a fellow villager say a few days ago that a nobleman from Kyoto came to him and told him some bad things about the Ming people."

"Adults and small ones know ...... too"

Another foreman ran over and reported to Yan Yi.

It didn't take long for Yan Yi to have a certain understanding of the details of this gang of thieves.

"Kyoto Public House...... Nagato generation accent ......"

"The official knows, and the official will send a telegram to the special envoy of Kyoto to help investigate, and ask them to help the master investigate over there!"
