Chapter 166 The good show of cannibalism (two in one)

After receiving Zhu Zhanhe's letter, Zhu Di immediately started making preparations to spread the news that Ming Dynasty had discovered grain seeds with yields of several times or even ten times per mu.

Speaking of which, Zhu Di was a little emotional, because at first when Jin Yiwei spread the news, many people did not believe it.

It's as if you suddenly told a person in the 21st century that human beings can already exceed the speed of light and can make space jumps, and you will immediately be able to immigrate to Centauri, punch Avatar, and kick Trisolarans.

For the people of the Ming Dynasty, it was sheer fantasy to find a grain that could yield ten times as much as rice and wheat. They thought it was more credible to say it was twice as much.

But as the news spread that Zhu Zhanhe had discovered these grains, the people unexpectedly believed it!

When Zhu Di first learned about this incident, he felt a sense of crisis, but it quickly disappeared.

He could understand that these were actually gains from Zhu Zhanhe's tough attitude towards foreign affairs, which made the people superstitious about him.

Although he felt that this was a threat to an emperor, it was not really a threat.

First of all, Zhu Zhanhe has made it clear that after a certain number of seeds are cultivated, some will be sent to Yingtian.

Secondly, Zhu Zhanhe did not have that many available people.

The Hanwang lineage's roots in Yunnan are still not deep enough, even far less than in Yingtian.

You know, the news about the food did not spread in Yunnan because Zhu Gaoxu had always kept it secret. He was afraid that Siam and other countries would take too drastic measures if they knew the news.

Secondly, although the line of Han kings has the right to autonomy, the Mu family is an issue that can never be avoided. The people of Yunnan now still obey the Mu family more, because the Mu family brought this to them in the past ten years.

Grow a good life.

Finally, the King of Han had no available soldiers.

Soldiers, needless to say, although Yunnan claims to have 300,000 troops guarding it, there are actually not so many. The most important thing is that these are soldiers of the Mu family, which is an obstacle to the lineage of the King of Han.

Generals, even including Li Bin and Tan Zhong, plus Xu Heng who had followed the King of Han to vassal early, these were only three generals.

Even if we add Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Zhanhe, what can the five of them do?

Apart from this, Zhu Zhanhe has not done anything beyond the past, and coupled with his response to Tian last time...

Therefore, Zhu Di felt that these were not problems.

Perhaps, no one has thought that Emperor Yongle would also be emotional one day...

——

Washima, Inaba.

As the Japanese people who helped the Ming army go shopping were all executed by the feudal lords in various places, Zhu Zhanhe took action again.

With one move, his whole body was moved, Zhu Zhanhe attacked Inaba with great force, and with the cooperation of Inaba's Japanese people, he wiped out all the nobles and samurai class in Inaba.

Zhu Zhanhe is currently watching a play.

About a hundred meters in front of him, Japanese nobles and warriors were brought up one by one. The executioner on the side held a big sword in his hand and his face was full of excitement.

Before that, this kind of thing was done by the soldiers of the Ming army, but it was different today.

Today's executioners are Japanese people.

Seeing this kind of drama, Zhu Zhanhe said that he liked it very much.

"The time has come! Kill!"

Looking at the sun above his head, Zhu Ling issued the execution order.

Those Japanese people couldn't understand Chinese, but that didn't mean they couldn't understand Zhu Ling's gestures.

Following Zhu Ling's order, the executioners raised their swords and cut off the heads of the nobles who had bullied them. There were also a few who, like Zhu Zhanhe, cut off the heads of the nobles who had bullied them.

The knife was stuck in his neck.

But this actually made them more excited.

"Next batch!" Zhu Ling was not in a hurry and waited quietly until all those people were dealt with before ordering the next batch.

This play is very monotonous, just keep cutting, and then bring in new people, cut again, and then bring in people...

It was very boring for Li Bin, Tan Zhong and others, because they had seen it countless times before, and they had even experienced it themselves. For them, this kind of drama was really not enough.

But it's different for Zhu Zhanhe. He has special emotions that Li Bin and others don't have, so I like him very much.

It wasn't until he finished watching that the execution ground was filled with piles and the ground was stained that Zhu Zhanhe left with some lingering feelings.

"Your Highness, do you have any ideas?"

As Zhu Zhanhe returned to the camp, Li Bin asked curiously.

Zhu Zhanhe's behavior today seemed to him to be too abnormal, but Li Bin couldn't guess the reason for Zhu Zhanhe's abnormality, so he classified it in this aspect.

"What do you think?" Zhu Zhanhe slumped on the chair very comfortably and asked casually.

"General, I see that you are in high spirits today, so I feel..."

As a military general, Li Bin's mind was not as complex as that of a civilian official, but now he could see that he had guessed wrong, and he immediately scratched his head in embarrassment and replied.

"Then what are you going to do next? Continue to advance? Or let the soldiers take a rest?"

"First send some people to escort those Japanese people who are willing to work in the mines to Iwami, and then let the soldiers take this opportunity to rest for three days."

"By the way, send the order to Wang Jinghong and ask him to take the Shenji Camp to Wakasa twice!"

"Yes!" Li Bin was excited and immediately took the order and left.

Wakasa is not an ordinary place. If you land from there, it won't take long to reach Lake Biwa, the largest lake in Japan, and below Lake Biwa is the capital of Japan, Heiankyo.

Therefore, if traces of the Ming army appear along the Wakasa coast, the Japanese country will definitely become nervous.

However, the happier Zhu Zhanhe is, the more depressed some people are.

See the silver mountain in stone.

Zheng Heng and Chen Maozheng watched boredly as the miners helped Daming mine with enthusiasm on their faces.

Before, they didn't understand why these Japanese people were so motivated to work for the Ming Dynasty. After learning about Zhu Zhanhe's plan, they understood, and at the same time they admired Zhu Zhanhe even more.

Since the conquest of Japan, although the Ming army has lost more than 30,000 people, it has received several times or even ten times the loss of laborers, and they are all young and strong.

If it were done recklessly and not just using young people, the number would be even higher.

"Tell me, if they knew they had fallen into a trap, would they still work so hard?" Zheng Heng was very bored, watching the miners coming and going and throwing a question to Chen Mao.

"Do you think it's hard to say? But I think I should still be able to." Chen Mao yawned.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince used a conspiracy to let them know that they were sacrificing their lives for a better life, but they had to jump in because their former feudal lord treated them even worse."

"Besides, these people used to work hard all their lives and might not be able to provide their families with the life they live now. Now they can say that they can enjoy one year of work for their families. Isn't this very worthwhile?"

"Is this the main reason why they are so motivated?"

"Well, that's right..." Zheng Heng nodded thoughtfully.

"But thinking about those Japanese pirates who plundered my territory in the Ming Dynasty in the past, I suddenly felt quite relieved. Maybe this is why Marquis Anyuan was determined to obey the orders of His Royal Highness after coming to the Japanese country."

"Does this need to be said?" Chen Mao rolled his eyes at Zheng Heng.

"We are all pretty good, but Marquis Anyuan commanded the Shenji Battalion, and in his early years he led troops to pursue the Japanese pirates all the way to the Qingzhou Sea, and returned with a great victory."

"He has seen what the people of the Ming Dynasty were like when they were plundered by Japanese pirates. We would all be angry if we haven't seen them, let alone him."

"But..."

"Zheng Heng! Where is Chen Mao!?"

Just when Zheng Heng and Chen Mao were still chatting boredly, a voice rang out that instantly shocked them.

When I turned around, I saw Tan Zhong leading a large number of people walking towards here.

"Uncle Xin Ning, do you have any orders from His Highness?" Zheng Heng and Chen Mao greeted him with smiles on their faces.

The military commander camp has always been relatively harmonious. At least it is not like the civilian camp, which plots against the military commanders and at the same time plots against its own people.

But even so, the military commander camps are still hierarchical.

Tan Zhong is Xin Ning Bo, just an earl, while Zheng Heng and Chen Mao are two marquises, one is Wu'an Marquis and the other is Ningyang Marquis.

Although the relationship between the generals has always been good, it is extremely rare for the Marquis and Count to smile at each other like this.

"Marquis Wu'an and Marquis Ningyang are too polite. I'm just an errand boy." Faced with the smiles of Zheng Heng and the others, Tan Zhong felt very helpful, but he did not float to the sky.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince defeated Inaba, dealt with the local feudal lords and powerful warriors in Inaba, and then recruited a group of Japanese people to come to the mine. You two can take over."

"Are there Japanese people again? Or are they from Inaba?" Zheng Heng and the other two looked blank.

You know, Inaba is far away from Iwami, separated by the two Japanese feudal kingdoms of Izumo and Hoki. Although the area is the same as Iwami feudal kingdom, that is because Iwami feudal kingdom is already large.

reason.

It is really unimaginable to cross two feudal countries to send someone off.

"They all volunteered?" Zheng Heng and Chen Mao looked at the chattering Japanese people not far behind, a little unbelievable.

"That's for sure." Tan Zhong answered in the affirmative without hesitation.

"Didn't you two see how many people we have brought? If they are not voluntary, then even though we are armed, it will be difficult to watch them."
