Chapter 249: Immediately, Arrest Li Jin for us!
Queen Ma looked at the furious Zhu Yuanzhang in surprise, and didn't understand why Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly became like this.
Just now, Zhu Yuanzhang was still praising Li Jin's exploits, but he didn't expect it to become like this in a blink of an eye, which made Queen Ma puzzled.
And Zhu Biao explained for Li Jin at the first time:
"Father, in fact, Li Jin also has a hard time in this matter."
Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes were full of coldness, and when he heard this, he didn't speak, but the cold light kept flashing in his eyes, which was very terrifying.
Seeing that Zhu Yuanzhang didn't speak, Zhu Biao hurriedly spoke again:
"The reason why Li Jin slaughtered those captives was all because those captives wanted to rebel."
"If the 100,000 captives are in chaos, Li Jin is afraid that he will not be able to control it, so he has made this decision and asked his father to forgive him."
Zhu Yuanzhang sneered, suppressed his anger and said:
"Biao'er, do you want to join forces with Li Jin to deceive us?"
"Li Jin's move is obviously premeditated, with the 100,000 elites of the Beijing camp in his hands, even if those prisoners make trouble, it is just looking for death!"
"But Li Jin resolutely buried the 100,000 captives alive, and even slaughtered 200,000 Japanese people, leaving not a single survivor."
"Doesn't this show Li Jin's cruelty?"
At this time, Queen Ma finally understood what was going on.
Li Jin, who seemed to be a weak and weak man, actually slaughtered the city on Wadao and directly killed more than 300,000 people.
It sounded sensational, so that Queen Ma's hairs couldn't help but stand upside down.
"Biao'er, what your father said is true?"
Queen Ma couldn't help but ask, after all, no matter in any era, killing prisoners is ominous.
And Li Jin is now directly killing 100,000 people and slaughtering 200,000 civilians, which is simply mad.
Zhu Biao's face also became very ugly, and he nodded slowly, but he still had to continue to argue with Li Jin.
"Father, please listen to your son."
"Although Li Jin killed too much, Erchen felt that this matter was not as serious as his father thought."
"Li Jin did this so that we can completely control the island."
"Since entering Wajima, Erchen has found that the ore veins on Wajima are very rich."
"There are not only gold and silver mines, but also a lot of copper and iron ore, which can be described as inexhaustible."
"Therefore, Erchen thinks that Wadao is very important to the Ming Dynasty, it can be perfectly filled, and the Ming Dynasty lacks gold and silver."
"So we must take the island."
Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand and said:
"We have now taken Wa Island, but Li Jin's move will make the people on Wa Island hate our Daming."
"Even if it eventually causes turmoil, we Daming will have to pay a hundredfold price in order to completely control the island."
Zhu Yuanzhang naturally didn't care about how many people were killed or injured on Wadao, what he was most angry about was that Li Jin didn't listen to his will and acted on his own, which led to the hatred of the people of Wajima.
At that time, his 100,000 elites of the Beijing battalion may have to be stationed on Wadao, which is unacceptable to Zhu Yuanzhang.
Because he will continue to conquer Mongolia next year, the loss of these 100,000 elites will destroy Zhu Yuanzhang's plan.
But Zhu Biao's next words surprised him.
"My father is wrong, Li Jin's move will not only not make the people of Wadao restless, but will make them extremely obedient."
"According to Erchen's observations over the years, the people on Wa Island are very different from our Han people."
"The Japanese people on the island seem to be born with a servile nature, and the better you treat him, the more he will have to gain an inch."
"But if you are him, these widows will be able to honestly obey orders and do what you have arranged."
"As Han Wu said, alien races, beasts, fear of power but not virtue."
"These widows are like that, the more cruel and cruel you are to them, the more docile they become."
"Now that Li Jin has slaughtered their entire capital, I want all the Japanese daimyo to become honest and dare not resist the power of the Great Ming Shenwei anymore."
"And Li Jin has a plan for the next step."
Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes narrowed slightly, and he asked:
"What's the plan?"
Zhu Biao thought for a while and said:
"The slave trade plan smuggled and sold all the young and strong Japanese people and children on the island into the Ming Dynasty."
"If we say that the young people of a nation are the blood of the nation and the country, they have created vitality for the country."
"Li Jin's plan is to drain the blood of Wadao, so as to make up for the blood of Daming, so that the young people on Wadao can become the nutrients for Daming's growth."
"In this way, a hundred years later, all the people on the island will be Han Chinese, and naturally there will be no rebellion and separation from the rule of the Ming Dynasty."
"Next, we will start planning to open the sea and let merchants enter the Wa Island for trade and plunder."
"If this continues, the decline of Wadao will be greatly accelerated, and with the immigration, it will not take 50 years, and all the people on Wadao will inevitably be Han people."
"At that time, the entire Wa Island will be the territory of the Ming Dynasty, and it will never be separated."
Zhu Yuanzhang was silent.
If it is really as Zhu Biao and Li Jin said, then Daming may have to enter another mode in the future.
In the past, the Ming Dynasty was simply disdainful of these small countries.
These countries are poor and hungry, and they can't be compared with the rich Ming Dynasty, and if they seize these countries, they still need to work on expeditions, spend money and food, and the gains outweigh the losses.
But now Li Jin regards the population as a resource, and plunders all these resources to the Ming Dynasty as slaves, building high-speed kilometers, water conservancy, and dredging canals for the Ming Dynasty.
All these kinds of measures require manpower.
In the past, Zhu Yuanzhang was reluctant to do it, because he was afraid that there would be a disaster in the previous dynasty.
After all, the previous dynasty repaired the Yellow River, resulting in the stone man with one eye, instigating the world to rebel, thus losing the world.
If you do it yourself, no one can say whether there will be another Zhu Yuanzhang.
Therefore, Zhu Yuanzhang would rather not have the canal open than build the canal on a large scale.
But if you use alien slaves to do this, Zhu Yuanzhang feels that there is a lot to do.
After all, in the Ming Dynasty, which is full of Han people, it is difficult to make any waves.
On the other hand, if the Ming Dynasty occupies a country, it will start buying and selling people, and draw the blood of these small countries, and after a few years, the population of these small countries will inevitably wither.
At that time, if the Han Chinese are sent to immigrate, then these small countries will not be the territory of the Han people? There is no need to worry about indigenous riots.
Zhu Yuanzhang seems to have opened the door to a new world.
But thinking of Li Jin's unauthorized decision, Zhu Yuanzhang's face was still very gloomy, and he said to Zhu Biao:
"Even if Li Jin has a great reason, it is still an unforgivable crime to slaughter 300,000 Japanese people without authorization."
When Zhu Biao heard this, he was immediately anxious, and hurriedly wanted to explain again.
was interrupted by Zhu Yuanzhang directly waving his hand, and shouted outside the door:
"Pass Mao Xiang in."
Soon, Mao Xiang was called to the study by Zhu Yuanzhang.
"Mao Xiang, immediately send a capable man to Wadao and capture Li Jin for us!!"
