Outside the city, the Kamikawa family begged to see them with a thousand soldiers.

Seeing this scene, Jin Chuan was a little dissatisfied.

He didn't really want to work with other families, after all, this Ming army was the first friend he knew, and he should share the most.

If he could, he even hoped that the Ming army would go to Kyoto now, defeat the Ashikaga family, and let him occupy Kyoto.

It's a pity that the Ming army was unmoved.

has been recuperating in the city, and has no intention of going to war.

Jin Chuan said that the strength of this Uesugi family is not as good as him, so he can ignore it.

However, under Li Xiao's orders, he still let people in.

Immediately, Jin Chuan's face changed, and he warmly welcomed the people of the Uesugi family in and entertained the banquet.

"Uesugi family, welcome, welcome."

Jinchuan held a banquet, and the three parties all sat in the hall, Zhu Gaoxu, Li Xiao and others sat in the main seat, and the other two families sat on the left and right sides of the hall.

He first introduced each other, then looked at the Kanesugi family and said, "I don't know why the Uesugi family is here today?" ”

"I heard that your Jinchuan family tied a big tree, there is an old saying in China, the back of the big tree is good for the shade, and our Uesugi family also wants to lean on this big tree."

As soon as Uesugi opened, he expressed his intention, then looked at Zhu Gaoxu, put his right hand on his chest, and said respectfully: "Respect and powerful Ming army, there is an old saying in Huaxia, no profit can not be early." Lord Han, I don't know what your real purpose is when you come to our kingdom. ”

Zhu Gaoxu took a sip of tea, smiled slightly, rubbed his fingers, and said: "Of course, it is to earn a lot of gold and silver, and the first purpose of earning gold and silver is to get rid of the Japanese pirates on the sea, there are too many robbers in your Japanese country, and this Jinchuan family is our most loyal partner of the Ming Dynasty, this king will help him control the Japanese country and completely get rid of the troubles of the Japanese invaders." ”

These are the words that Li Xiao had prepared for Zhu Gaoxu a long time ago.

The Wa Kingdom is the largest gold and silver deposit in the Far East, and it has very large gold and silver resources.

During the Qing Dynasty, it contributed to the prosperity of Kangqian.

In the early part of the Qing Dynasty, there was a monograph on the Wa Kingdom, "The Eastern Wa Kao", which mentioned the windfall profits of Chinese goods in the Wa Kingdom.

The so-called "about the mainland price of one, to the Japanese can easily get five."

and return goods, then one gets two".

That is to say, Chinese goods can be exchanged for five times the profit when they go to Japan, and then they can use this to buy Japanese goods back to China, and they can exchange for 100% of the profits.

You must know that the European "sea coachmen" in the Age of Discovery, who shuttled between Asia and Europe to engage in spice trade, only made a profit of 400 percent.

And the Chinese merchant ships only need to go to the Wa Kingdom once, and they can earn ten times the huge profits!

From the perspective of later economists, the surplus of consumer goods produced by the Japanese in exchange for non-renewable precious metals for the renewable resources grown in the land of China can only make the Japanese poorer and poorer.

Obviously, such a statement was quickly agreed by the Uesugi family.

He prostrated on the ground and said respectfully: "Lord Han, I, the Uesugi family, am willing to surrender to the Ming Dynasty, surrender to the Han King, and create a prosperous era of friendship between the Ming Kingdom and the Wa Kingdom together." ”

As he spoke, he smiled: "To show sincerity, we will also bring gifts to King Han." ”

The voice fell.

A group of young women in kimonos walked in with small steps, holding fans, their faces painted like white walls, and their mouths were very red.

"Don't say it, I thought it was a ghost, and I scared Lao Tzu."

Zhu Gaoxu frowned, waved his hand, and said, "This king doesn't like these things, step down." ”

On the side, General Jin Chuan recognized it very much, and said: "Lord Han is not a woman, so let's change it to Uesugi." ”

Uesugi had no choice but to wave his hand, and with another wave of his hand, he asked a few people to carry the box in, and when he opened it, he saw that the box was full of gold and silver.

At this time, Zhu Gaoxu smiled, "The sincerity is very full, this king is very happy, even so, the Uesugi family will be under the command of this king." ”

Uesugi immediately bowed: "Hey! ”

That's it.

The Ming army has another 8,000 puppet troops.

The 18,000 puppet army was arranged again, and half a month later, under the command of Zhu Gaoxu, the army finally started.

There were puppet soldiers who were familiar with the local situation to lead the way, and the road was very smooth.

Li Xiao found that these puppet soldiers were also very ruthless in treating the enemies of the Japanese state, and when they passed by the villages ruled by the Ashikaga family, they went on a killing spree, burning, killing and smashing, and everywhere they went was in a mess.

The women were humiliated, the men were all killed, the food was robbed, and there was no grass.

For these, Li Xiao naturally doesn't care, in fact, when the Huaxia Kingdom was in dispute, it was the same situation, the war was originally cruel.

Seeing this, the Ashikaga family immediately began to prepare for war, and the castles along the way were guarded by soldiers.

When the Ming army came to the front of the city, the persuasion was unsuccessful.

Zhu Gaoxu ordered people to take out cannons and bombard the city gate indiscriminately, directly blowing through the city gate.

"The front army, the left army, and the right army are all attacking and attacking the city!"

Zhu Gaoxu gave an order and directly asked all the puppet troops to attack the city.

Jin Chuan cautiously asked, "Han Wangsan, your elite troops."

Zhu Gaoxu pushed him back with a word: "Your Royal Highness of the elite troops, what's the matter?" Do you want to sit back and enjoy the benefits of the fisherman? This is to help you defeat the Ashikaga family, if you are not satisfied, then the Uesugi family will behave better, and it will be difficult to say that he will be given the land at that time."

"Hey!"

Jin Chuan immediately replied: "Please Han Wang Sang to see the performance of my Jin Chuan family!" ”

In this way, under the leadership of Zhu Gaoxu and other generals, he led the puppet army to attack the city, and it was easy to capture the former town castle, kill the defenders of the Ashikaga family inside, and capture the deputy general.

"Chai Gonghuang, surrender! There is an old saying in China, those who know the times are Junjie"

Under some coercion and temptation, several of the guards were persuaded to surrender, and half of the soldiers were incorporated into the front army and became cannon fodder for cannon fodder.

The puppet soldiers in the city began to carnival, and Zhu Gaoxu let these people slaughter the city for three days, and then rested and set off again.

The two families of Jinchuan and Uesugi tasted the sweetness and found that the artillery of the Ming army had the help of God in attacking the city, and they behaved harder.

Immediately after that, he continued to attack Nishishai and broke through it on three days.

Then he attacked the military town of Takashima to the south, and broke through it on the 10th.

After a series of battles, he finally hit Kyoto directly.

Kyoto was heavily defended, the city was high and thick, and the Ashikaga family was strong and clear, and it was difficult to take it easily, so Zhu Gaoxu directly ordered the army to turn around and capture Kusatsu Castle and occupy it.

Within two months, the capture of the four cities was already very good, and under Li Xiao's proposal, the trend of the offensive was eased, and the territory began to hold the captured territory and recruit troops.

With the thunderous momentum of the Ming army, the Ashikaga family suffered heavy losses, and the territory was continuously lost, and the princes under his command began to be ready to move and have different intentions.

In this way, the Wa Kingdom, which had just entered a period of peace, was suddenly about to split into the Warring States Period, when the princes fought chaotically.

Li Xiao waited quietly, waiting for the opportunity, and won Kyoto in one fell swoop.

Sure enough, the opportunity soon came, and a few joined again.

After several agitations, many soldiers raised their flags.

Once at night, the army attacked at night!

Firelight and blood stained Kyoto.

The war lasted for a month, and Kyoto fell.

In this way, the Ashikaga family completely withdrew from the stage of history, and the Han king took control of the Kyoto regime, divided the princes of all walks of life, and successfully controlled the Wa Kingdom.

The next step was to garrison the various ports and attack as soon as a Japanese came ashore, which was quite effective, and half of the Japanese were wiped out on the sea.

The remaining half of the Japanese had no shore to go up to, so they began to flee towards the coast of the Ming Dynasty.

Li Xiao and others left 1,000 elite soldiers in the Wa State, and at the same time left Wei Zhongxian in the Wa State, made him the prime minister, and controlled the power.

He led the rest of the soldiers back to the ship and went to chase after the remaining pirates, so as to completely eradicate the plague of the pirates in one fell swoop!

The other side.

Nanjing City Palace.

In the Palace of Nourishing the Heart, Zhu Di lay on the back chair and swayed, crossed Erlang's legs, and felt a moment of leisure.

I have to say that without Zhu Yuanzhang chattering in his ears, this feeling is too good.

Everything was handed over to the eldest son, and he was completely the shopkeeper.

"Dad, it's not good, urgent military report, today in the coastal areas of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, the number of Japanese pirates has increased greatly, and the guards in various places are in an emergency, I'm afraid there are 70,000 or 80,000 Japanese pirates scattered along the coast."

Zhu Gaochi, who had just come from the military department, looked anxious, holding the plan given by the Military Aircraft Department in his hand, "Dad, the child plans to send troops to exterminate it, take a look." ”

According to the normal historical line, Yongle was eight years later, that is, eleven years later.

In order to resist the Japanese invaders, Zhu Di, the ancestor of the Ming Dynasty, specially set up six departments in Shandong, Yangzhou, Jinshan, Fujian, Zhejiang, Guangdong, and six places to prepare the Japanese capital, and began to clean up the Japanese invaders, and it took ten years to exterminate them.

And now, Zhu Yuanzhang's treatment of the Japanese is to ban the sea and relocate the people.

Therefore, it was a little difficult to cope with such a large-scale attack by the Japanese invaders.

"What? Are the pirates so rampant? What's going on! Zhu Di asked.

"The specific situation, it seems that the Japanese suddenly began to snipe the Japanese and prevent them from going ashore, and those Japanese have no shore and no reliability, so they have to attack and harass my Daming coast." Zhu Gaochi replied.

Zhu Di was slightly puzzled: "Why is this situation happening, why do the princes of this Japanese country deliberately connive at the Japanese to plunder my Ming wealth, why would they deal with them in turn?" ”

Zhu Gaochi shook his head and said: "This is incomprehensible, the specific situation is still being investigated." ”

Zhu Di thought for a while and said with a smile: "But it's okay, in this way, you can completely solve the problem of the widows, once and for all, send an army to exterminate it." ”

Zhu Gaochi nodded: "Dad, the child thinks so too." ”

Zhu Di smiled slightly, and took the plan, which said that he ordered the local guards and county towns to move the people into the city, only defend and not attack, and wait for the imperial court to send reinforcements to destroy them in one fell swoop.

The generals sent were Xu Huizu as the general, and Guo Ying and others as the generals.

"Let's change this."

Zhu Di handed the plan back.

"Change what?"

Zhu Gaochi wondered.

Zhu Di shook his head: "The selection of the general is not appropriate, Xu Huizu has not fought a battle for many years, and the actual combat is worrying, if he becomes the next Li Jinglong, how can he explain?" Is Lone punished or not punished? He's a lonely brother-in-law. ”

It's all an excuse, how could Zhu Gaochi not know Zhu Di's thoughts, and said with a smile: "That father. Which general do you think is better? ”

Zhu Di laughed: "The best candidate is not enough. Far away, close at hand! ”

"The eyes are on the horizon, and they are close at hand."

Zhu Gaochi pretended to be surprised, looked at Zhu Di with his head held high, and said, "Dad, you won't say that you will go out in person, right?" ”

He hurriedly said, "Dad, this is not appropriate, your status is precious, in case there is any damage."

"Less nonsense."

Zhu Di slapped the table and said unhappily: "Lone is the prince, the saint is not there, Lone has the right to supervise the country, Lone is not there, you, the imperial grandson, have the right to supervise the country, before Lone leaves, what Lone says, what is it, understand?" ”

Zhu Di has waited for so long, and finally has a chance to fight.

Even if it's a war against a Japanese robber, isn't that also a war? ?

"This"

Zhu Gaochi was suppressed by his identity, so he had to nod and smile: "Dad, that's okay, the child will arrange you properly, the treasury has been abundant over the years, and the child will let you fight a rich battle." ”

"Rich war?" Zhu Di was overjoyed: "How rich?" ”

Zhu Gaochi said with a smile: "The child has already arranged it for you, it was originally used for the Northern Expedition, but now you can also deal with the Japanese Kou, aren't you good at cavalry, the three major battalions have recently added 30,000 military horses, armor, weapons, bows, crossbows, and arrows are all newly prepared, and you will be sent 50,000 elite cavalry, okay?" ”

Zhu Di was stunned for a moment, then looked at Zhu Chi, and said movingly: "Zhu Chi, my father really didn't misunderstand you, you still think about your father in your heart!" ”

Zhu Gaochi said with a smile: "Since my father plans to go, the child will naturally arrange it properly, the grain and grass have been raised, and it is light and simple, this time this horse does not seem to plan to go to the sea, but occupies the mountain, and occupies the mountain as the king, among which a group of 50,000 people are camped on a mountain in Cengang, Zhejiang. You don't have to worry about food and grass, the children will adjust all the ways, and they will be delivered safely. ”

"Good! That's great! My eldest son. ”

Zhu Di was overjoyed, with such a son engaged in logistics in the rear, he could really go to the war boldly with confidence, "Without further ado, hurry up and give an order." ”

"Okay Daddy."

Zhu Gaochi immediately sat down and began to draft the decree, writing and writing, suddenly raised his head, looked at Zhu Di and said, "Dad, what kind of general is it better to give you the name of a general?" ”

Zhu Di didn't care about this, "Whatever." ”

Zhu Gaochi thought about it, and then wrote: "Anti-Japanese general!" ”

That's it.

The decree was soon promulgated, and many officials in the imperial court stopped it, and after being reprimanded by Zhu Di, he became honest.

A few days later, the army set out from Nanjing.

Zhu Di led 50,000 cavalry and quickly rushed towards Zhejiang.

And at this time.

The Han kings Zhu Gaoxu and Li Xiao and others also landed and began to eliminate the Japanese invaders.

Although they knew that there was a huge force of Japanese robbers entrenched in Cen Gang, Li Xiao and the others were not in a hurry.

Their purpose is to deal with the streams of pirates that are running around, and this kind of pirates is the most troublesome to deal with.

Compared to the Japanese who gathered together, they can be eliminated in one fell swoop.

The way Li Xiao and others dealt with the pirates was also very simple, the cavalrymen rode fast horses, held flintlock pistols and hung them, as long as they found it, they quickly solved it.

[Xiaolang, the widows here have been removed, how is the situation on your side? Please answer if you receive it. 】

[Just exterminated, there are signal flares twenty miles to the southwest and thirty miles to the southeast, which are scout signals, you go to the southwest, I go to the southeast. Please answer if you receive it. 】

[Received, received, love you.] 】

[Received, I love you too.] 】

Because of the presence of signal flares, the 1,000 cavalry divided into five teams and rushed to attack, and soon wiped out 35 Japanese gangs circulating in all directions, totaling 5,800 people.

The rest of the would-be pirates had already gotten into the hugs of the mice, and they were so frightened that they fled towards the big stronghold of Cen Gang, and the Japanese in Cen Gang gathered more and more.

And Li Xiao and others want to see such a situation, just like a cat chasing a mouse, driving the mice into a cage, and finally catching turtles in an urn.

That's it.

Zhu Di's army soon arrived.

Li Xiao is also about to drive the Japanese to one place.

The two sides are about to meet.

Another place.

Peiping Province, Honghua Village.

Zhu Yuanzhang had been resting in the village for a while before he came to his senses.

After all, when I was older, it was a little difficult to accept that I suddenly saw something like a movie, and it took me a long time to accept this fact.

In the past few days, Zhu Yuanzhang has been wandering around Honghua Village.

He found that the land had indeed been confiscated by the Beiping Prefecture, and all the people were exempt from taxes, not only the poll tax, but even the land tax.

Zhu Yuanzhang was about to go crazy.

However, it soon became clear that although the land was exempt from taxes, the contract of land required a fee to be paid to the imperial court.

He instantly understood that I was afraid that the land tax was included in the contract fee.

This made Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes light up, in this way, it seems that there will be no more tax exemptions, and there will be no shrinkage of the hidden rope, and the tax will be easily handed over, so that Zhu Yuanzhang has to admire.

Although I don't know how Li Xiao did it in the first place, he did it.

In this way, Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't wait to meet Li Xiao and ask him what he had done over the years.

In addition, Zhu Yuanzhang also found that among these land contractors were the original landlords and gentry, and they were still very rich.

However, there are also some peasant households who were originally ordinary peasants, because they were bold enough to borrow money from Qianzhuang to contract land, and they also turned over and changed from poor peasants to rich peasants.

And, according to his observations, he found that every one of the people seemed to have a smile on their faces

Because the crops of the land, no matter how you look at it, are much more than those of other places, the ears of wheat are so heavy that they bend the poles.

"Okay, okay, no matter whether the people have land or not, as long as every household can eat and have meat to eat, we are happy."

Zhu Yuanzhang said to himself, although he thought it was too incredible, but the facts were in front of him, and he planned to continue to investigate and secretly visit.

It's early in the morning.

Compared to the sweltering daytime, the morning breeze blows and is exceptionally cool.

After leaving the capital these days, Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly felt that this day seemed to be good.

At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang was moving his body in the yard and stretching his muscles and bones.

Suddenly, I found that Wang Jianlin next to him was also moving his body, playing a strange set of boxing techniques.

Zhu Yuanzhang stared as he walked: "Young man, what kind of boxing technique are you?" ”

Wang Jianlin said with a smile: "Military physical boxing, practiced in the army." ”

Military boxing is a kind of boxing technique composed of punching, kicking, smashing, snatching knives, snatching guns and other fighting actions, which is of great significance for regularly carrying out military physical boxing training and cultivating soldiers' perseverance, courage and tenacious fighting style.

Zhu Yuanzhang stood aside with his hands in his hands, observed carefully, and the more he looked at it, the more he felt that there was something.

This boxing method is of moderate length, the movements are concise, the rhythm is clear, easy to learn and understand, you don't need to start practicing martial arts from a young age to learn, but it is easy to popularize.

"Second Tiger, practice with this little brother."

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Erhu, he wanted to see how the people trained in this army were.

Erhu walked out and put on a posture: "Please advise." ”

"This"

Wang Jianlin smiled awkwardly: "I'm afraid of hurting this brother, it's not good." ”

Erhu sneered: "If you can hurt me, I will take your surname." ”

Wang Jianlin said: "What's your surname?" ”

Erhu said: "My surname is Wang." ”

Wang Jianlin: "."

Zhu Yuanzhang: "."

In the end, the two still started a fight, intending to have a friendly exchange.

Erhu beckoned and motioned for him to come first.

"I conceded."

Wang Jianlin snorted, rushed over, raised his leg and kicked over.

The two tigers turned their fists into palms and easily pushed them away, and turned their palms into claws again.

Wang Jianlin's face changed, and he found that this person was very unusual, so he hurriedly hit him with a sideways elbow, and then the other party retreated a few points when he blocked it with his hand.

"Come again!"

Wang Jianlin got serious and swung his fist again towards the second tiger.

The second tiger was at ease and easy to deal with, and did not subdue the opponent with one move, but explored the reality of the opponent, and after ten or so moves in a row, he made a punch to beat Wang Jianlin upside down and fly out.

Of course, the second tiger didn't use all his strength, otherwise the opponent would have injured the opponent's internal organs and caused internal injuries with this punch.

This was a confrontation between ancient martial arts and modern martial arts, and Gu Wu won easily.

Of course, it is also related to Erhu's martial arts training since he was a child, otherwise he would not have been able to take on such a heavy responsibility as protecting Zhu Yuanzhang.

On the other hand, Wang Jianlin has only been a soldier for a few years, and after the age of martial arts training, he can still practice such skills, which has already surprised Erhu very much.

"Thank you for your mercy."

Wang Jianlin arched his hand, only then did he know that there is a sky outside the sky, and there are people outside the world.

He can still be regarded as a good hand in the army, and he can't get any benefit in front of these two tigers, it seems that the old man of his family is probably not an ordinary person.

"Concession."

The second tiger arched his hand.

Then he walked to Zhu Yuanzhang's side and whispered: "Master Huang, after being a soldier for three years, from ordinary people to this skill, this army should have changed its training methods, and this military body fist should not be underestimated." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang bowed slightly.

Xindao, in this way, Li Xiao can indeed change the military system.

The common people must serve in the military and join the army, and they have to take classes every day to learn to write, sing military songs, and cultivate patriotic culture, because they don't have to plant military fields, they have plenty of time, and they can quickly improve their strength through various trainings, even if they are not military households, they can quickly become a qualified soldier.

Of course, you can't just listen to one person, he will naturally have to go to the army to test it in person later.

"Not bad, not bad."

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded with satisfaction, looked at Wang Jianlin and said, "Young man, we are leaving today, and we will see you again." ”

After getting along in the past few days, Zhu Yuanzhang also likes this enthusiastic young man very much.

Erhu took out a silver ticket of 1,000 taels and handed it to Wang Jianlin.

Wang Jianlin was shocked: "What is this doing?" ”

Erhu said: "Then, don't you talk every day about making up enough 1,000 taels of silver, and you are going to do a big deal?" My lord saw that you had a good face, even if he became a big businessman, he was also a good businessman, he invested you a thousand taels of silver, and he made a lot of money in the future, remember to remember the good of our lord and benefit the people, you know? ”

This is what Zhu Yuanzhang meant, since everyone can do business, he hopes that Daming can have more good businessmen like Li Xiao to benefit the people.

Wang Jianlin took the silver two tremblingly, and his heart was too shocked, "How does this make Master Huang, where does your family live, and who is your surname, I will repay you in the future."

But at this time, Zhu Yuanzhang had already walked out of the hospital, waved his hand and said:

"When you come out, you will meet again if you have a fate, if you become a big profiteer in the future, we will be the first to clean you up."

After speaking, he got into the carriage and drove towards the main road.

Looking at the back of the carriage in the distance, Wang Jianlin bowed deeply, "Master Huang, when I make money, you will take half of the shares!" If you lose, you shouldn't pay it."

Zhu Yuanzhang returned to the main road along the country road.

The carriage headed in the direction of Beiping.

I walked for nearly half an hour.

There was a large house on the side of the road, and in the big house gathered many people carrying burdens and as if they were about to hurry.

Followed by.

Woowoo woo –

Suddenly, a very loud sound sounded, startling the horse neighing, and stopped, not daring to move.

Bang, clang-

Immediately afterwards, Zhu Yuanzhang even felt that the ground was shaking regularly!

"What happened again?"

Zhu Yuanzhang poked out his head and ordered:

"Erhu, what kind of voice is this, so huge, go and check it quickly!"
