Chapter 722: There is an old saying in the Ming Dynasty

Taro Bingwei thought that he had successfully handled Liu Xiang, and then directly affected Zhu Youzhen, who was far away in the capital.

When he returned, he couldn't wait to inform Tokugawa Iemitsu of the good news. Tokugawa Iemitsu was very happy and felt that his vanity was greatly satisfied.

's own face still has some weight in Liu Xiang's place.

"Taro Guard, you send someone to Nabeshima's house again and tell them the news." Tokugawa Iemitsu commanded.

"And let him come out with another 500,000 taels of silver. If something so big happens, you can't just leave it at that! ”

"Yes, General." Taro Bei said yes and walked out. Tokugawa Iemitsu didn't intend to let go of the Nabeshima family so lightly, although the 500,000 taels of silver they had given before were from them, but it did cause a lot of losses to the shogunate.

In the case of the business that was stopped during this period of time, the loss was more than half a million taels of silver.

A few days later, Nabeshima Katsushige also learned the good news. He was so happy that he was almost dancing. These days can be regarded as worrying him, and in the face of pressure from Daming, he is worried all the time.

Worried that Da Ming would know the truth and arrest his son for punishment. Worried that the Ming Dynasty would suddenly attack and raze his castle to the ground.

Although I know that it is unlikely that I will do this for the sake of a soldier, but after all, I have to take it easy, right?

"Nabeshima-san, don't be too happy too early. The general said, you have to take another 500,000 taels of silver! Taro Beiwei sneered and poured a basin of cold water on the head of Katsushige, who was extremely happy.

"What? 500,000 taels of silver? Didn't I already take out 500,000 taels before!? How to take it again? Nabeshima Katsushige's mood just got bad again, and his eyes widened as he looked at Taro Guard.

"Five hundred thousand taels? Our business with Daming has been stopped for so many days, have you counted how much we lost? The thing was provoked by your son, who will pay if you don't pay for it? Do you want the general to bear the losses alone? I advise you to be honest, it is best to break the fortune and eliminate the disaster. ”

"I, my son, he, he..." He thought that his news had been blocked tightly enough, but he never thought that the general already knew the truth of the matter.

"Don't think that the general doesn't know about your own turf. There is an old saying in the Ming Dynasty, don't toast, don't eat, eat and drink. I advise you to take the money out of the best obediently, otherwise, it may not be as simple as silver! ”

"This! Alas~ But I don't have that much money anymore! Nabeshima Katsushige sighed and said with a bitter face. This is simply naked blackmail, but what can be done, who makes himself not a retainer of the general.

"No money?"

"No money..."

"Are you sure?" Taro Guard's face fell.

"This..."Seeing his expression, Nabeshima Katsushige didn't dare to say any more.

"People who know each other have to live longer, don't you think?"

"Yes..."Nabeshima Katsushige wiped the sweat from his head.

"I'm trying to figure out a way, get together..."

"That's right." Taro Bei nodded in satisfaction.

"Give you five days!"

"My lord, five days is too little!"

"And how long do you say?"

"At least a month!"

"Impossible! Up to ten days. ”

"Twenty days."

"Half a month! Couldn't be less! Nabeshima-san, do you want to bear the wrath of the great general!? ”

"No, I don't want to, just half a month!" Seeing that Taro Beibei was about to get angry again, Nabeshima Katsushige hurriedly agreed.

Taro Bei nodded in satisfaction and turned to leave, leaving Nabeshima Katsushige alone with a sigh and a frown.

Not long after, screams rang out again from Mitsushige's room on Nabeshima. In the following time, Nabeshima Katsushige kept looking for people to borrow money and sold many valuable things.

Finally, on the tenth day, he scraped together enough money and handed it over to Taro Guard, who had been waiting. Taro Beibei got the money and left happily.

At this time, it is already the annual Mid-Autumn Festival in the Ming Dynasty. The capital is still lively, but many families have a little more sorrow about parting.

After today, tomorrow morning we will begin to enter a state of war, and no one can leave the barracks without a special order.

The whole court, officials large and small, all armed and unarmed, were preparing for the coming war.

In contrast to the wars with other nations, it was evident to all of them that the Holy One was valued today. In fact, Zhu Youzhen is indeed very excited, as a crossing party with a modern soul, his feelings for the Japanese country are naturally self-evident.

So he repeatedly emphasized that when you meet someone and don't know whether to kill or not, don't hesitate to kill!

When you can't tell if it's a civilian or a soldier, don't hesitate to kill! When encountering those who stubbornly resist and do not surrender, whether men or women, kill!

In a word, there was no mistake in killing. Honest surrender can also allow the Japanese to continue to be slaves, if they are not honest, then they will destroy their country and their species!

You don't want people! Every time he spoke, Zhu Youzhen felt a surge of anger surging up in his heart. It is these dog mongrels with bad stomachs, the offspring born and raised, who have done terrible and outrageous things to the Shenzhou Continent hundreds of years later!

Now that there is a chance to kill them, how can Zhu Youzhen be soft?

"Hooray, I'm in a daze again, and the dishes are cold." Empress Zhou's slightly disgusted tone pulled the distracted Zhu Youzhen back to reality.

"Haha, I thought about the government a little. Eat it. Zhu Youzhen said with a smile. Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, Zhu Youzhen naturally sat down with a family to have a reunion dinner.

After years of unremitting efforts, the number of his children has reached seven. But I don't know what the reason is, there are more daughters and fewer sons, except for Zhu Cihong, there is only one son, and the others are all daughters.

And the number of concubines naturally inevitably increased by a few people. All of them are carefully selected by the eunuchs below.

As the saying goes, when a man is rich, he becomes bad. Even in later generations, as long as the wealth and strength reach a certain level, it seems that it is normal to have more women.

What's more, Zhu Youzhen's merits are far ahead of the second ancestor, catching up with the emperors of the Han and Tang Dynasties. To put it mildly, even if Zhu Youzhen chooses eighty or ninety concubines in one go, there will only be people who praise him for being young and strong, and he wears Yang in a hundred steps.

The emperor and his family eat, except for more rules, there is no difference. In addition, Zhu Youzhen is not too harsh, and laughter is naturally indispensable.

However, because the army is about to start tomorrow, no matter how beautiful the moonlight is, it can't keep Zhu Youzhen's attention.

In the end, he finally couldn't help it, returned to the Qianqing Palace, and ordered someone to summon Zhang Zhiji.
