No matter what Zhu Youcong's idea was, with Chongzhen's imperial decree and the repeated deceptions of his soldiers, his return to China to report on his duties could no longer be changed.
On November 13, the sixth year of Chongzhen, after the overseas legions left 100,000 cavalry waiting for the 130,000 recruits transferred from China, Li Zicheng and others led the main force and began to evacuate along with the regular army.
Regarding the Japanese islands, Zhu Youcong had nothing to worry about. He only promised not to initiate large-scale wars within a year, but he did not prohibit the newly arrived soldiers from playing anti-guerrilla warfare with the Japanese pirates in the name of caravans, and Qin Liangyu's
The combat environment that the Southern Corps will have to deal with in the future is the sparsely populated South Asia with dense jungles, so it is just a good opportunity to take this opportunity to get more training.
As for the generals guarding the Japanese island, there is nothing to worry about. If Zhu Youcong is not here to restrain his hands and insist on cutting leeks on the Japanese island, thus restricting the movement of his army. The one who claims to have a six-meter
My brother’s fifth aunt, fourth nephew, third uncle’s… I don’t know how many detours I’ve taken, but my relatives were killed by Japanese pirates. Sun Chuanting had long ago borrowed troops from Li Zicheng to plow the Japanese island several times. Overseas legions could
The more than 3 million heads must have been taken away. Now that Zhu Youcong has left, Sun Chuanting, who has lifted the seal and commanded the 30,000 new soldiers of the central army, will let the Japanese pirates know what it means to never be the worst, only to be worse.
Although the guys who were transferred to lead the Southern Corps for training this time were two veterans, they were really famous in another time and space. They were called madmen, and they could trap Li Zicheng in Longzhou and have to fake surrender.
He Renlong; three battles and three victories in five days, beating Zhang Xianzhong to the point where he left three generals behind and fled in embarrassment, Zheng Chongjian. If these two people were competing against each other for their military exploits, whoever they encountered would have a headache.[
The people of the Japanese island will not forget the glory created by this demon army so quickly. After hundreds of years of war, death has become normal to them. But that damn fat man is too much, right? Just because of him
If he felt depressed, he could order the entire army to line up and sweep forward from Edo Castle to Shimonoseki Port? Although this time he did not break his promise and gained weight. The demons under his command only robbed but not killed, and only captured tens of thousands of Japanese women along the way.
But the shabby huts that were finally built and hidden have been burned down. How can people endure this winter?
Masahito and Tokugawa Tadaga will never forget that if it hadn't been for the arrival of this fat man who always smiled, one of them would have continued to stay in the temple as a monk, and the other would have become the wronged soul killed by his brother.
Although they are still unable to wake up and take over the world, they can at least command the whole city and live a happy life of being worried about food and clothing, drunk and lying on the lap of a beautiful woman. Therefore, no matter what others think, they think that this country came from the Ming Dynasty.
The general is a good man. In order to express their gratitude, when the army passed by New Kyoto, they even applied to go out of the city ten miles to see each other off.
On the fifth day of December in the sixth year of Chongzhen, nearly 600,000 soldiers of the Ming Dynasty who had set out to conquer the Japanese islands boarded ships one after another and returned home. Apart from the victory, what they took away from this battle was only countless amounts of real gold and silver, hundreds of thousands of Japanese pirate girls and figures.
Murderous intent. And there are really a lot of things left behind. Forgiveness is not worth a lot of money, and Ming Dynasty is too embarrassed to take it out. The pain will never end and will accompany the Japanese people until they are completely destroyed.
It's more suitable.
After more than half a month of sailing, just as the main force of the Chinese army was about to arrive, Chongzhen, who had tasted the sweetness of returning warriors, appeared again. Although this time he could not send another Chengtian Gate or build another Martyrs' Shrine, but
The emperor led his court ministers out to Baishuiyang to welcome the triumphant army in person, which still moved many soldiers to tears.
There was no grand welcoming ceremony that cost a lot of money, but the emperor gave the soldiers the respect they needed most. The cultural instructors in the army also explained that the purpose of General Zhenguo leading the army to conquer the east and west was not to show off his power, but to make people want to conquer the country.
The people of Ming Dynasty lived a peaceful life.
Now that the Ming Dynasty has strong soldiers and horses, a small matter like pacifying the Japanese islands is not worth the expense of people and money to celebrate. As long as the palm-sized medals issued by the court are enough, the people are still busy doing their own thing. The Ming Dynasty court has become rich in recent years, but those gold
The silver is soaked with the sweat and even blood of the soldiers. It would be enough if the court could use every penny of silver on the blade to let the people of Ming Dynasty live a happy life.
"Old Bao, why are you coming to the pier so early in the morning?" For several days in a row, the first thing Yin Degui did when he got up was to run to the pier outside Baoshan Institute. There was nothing he could do, business was getting more and more these days.
It was hard to do. A few years ago, when the Northern Territory had just been pacified, and the imperial court had just ordered the abolition of untouchable status and prohibited the people of the Ming Dynasty from living by singing and dancing, he, who had inherited his ancestral business and was engaged in brothel management, could still rely on the freshness brought by the Tatars.
To support the scene and barely make ends meet.
Although the brothels of this era were entertainment venues with relatively complete functions, not only for solving physical problems. But once the excitement is over, those Tatars who always sing out of tune are really unattractive. If they can't fully recover,
If the traditional business project fails, he will really go bankrupt.
It is not that this Tatar woman is unwilling to engage in the flesh and blood business, but now the lives of the people of the Ming Dynasty are getting better and better, their pockets are gradually getting bigger, and the taste is getting more sophisticated. Without some special features, they will not be attracted to spend money.
Silver. Fortunately, General Zhenguo went to conquer the Japanese island and got so many good women.
Not to mention the sticks, they have persimmon faces. Unless they are wronged and need to vent or have some psychological problems, Ming men will generally not order them. But the Japanese girls are a hot commodity, even though they don’t look very good, but they are
Their skills are good. The so-called specialization in the art industry, the hundreds of years of war in Japan have formed a concept in their bones, as long as they can please men, there is nothing they can't do.
What's more, the price of these Japanese women is so cheap that he doesn't have to worry about it even if they are exhausted. With the Ming Dynasty Special Industry License, they only need three taels of silver to wholesale one, and they can sell it for ten taels when shipped to the north for retail!
Even if wealthy families are picky, the rest can work without training, and even five qian a night is still in short supply.
Therefore, after learning that the Zhenguo general had dispatched troops and brought back the last batch of cheap Japanese women, Yin Degui rushed over from Guangningwei day and night. If he missed this opportunity, those who would sell Japanese women in the future would be Ming profiteers.
Their prices will definitely be higher than the government wholesale prices.
"Aren't you going to fuck with you?" Everyone is in this business. Lao Bao, who runs the largest brothel in Yangzhou, originally looked down on these competitors from the north. But when he saw that Yin Degui could actually spend a lot of money to buy the entire ship
Only after there were more than a thousand Japanese women did we realize how profitable this business in the north is now.
Daming Business School also officially started recruiting students a few months ago. Lao Bao also spent a lot of money to sign up for a short-term training class. Although he has not learned anything yet, when he communicated with wealthy businessmen such as Yu Hu Xiyi, he also understood a truth
, the best way to obtain the maximum profit is to establish a monopoly. Even if it is not possible to put the name of his Bao family on all the brothels in the world, then it is necessary to occupy the market as much as possible and control the pricing power.
"Brother Yin, please be merciful this time. Don't let me go home empty-handed again!" Showing weakness to the enemy is Lao Bao's strong point. If someone really believed his bitter face, the consequences would be unimaginable.
.
"How can that be? How can a brother from a small family be compared with you? We came all the way here just to have fun and get some leftovers by the way?" The so-called treacherous businessman, come from the north.
Yin Degui was not that easy to deal with. He himself did not attend any training classes, but he forced the son of a scholar who failed the Guiyou Science Examination to enter the business school. He studied the most professional courses.
"It's coming! It's coming! The imperial transport fleet has arrived!" Nearly a hundred sailing ships of various types gradually emerged from the sea level, and the crowd that had been waiting for it for a long time began to commotion. Most of them were following Yin Degui. They came from all over the country.
The brothel owners who came here to buy the latest batch of cheap Japanese women. The ones who had the longest journey were the Shaanxi profiteers wearing sheepskin coats who came from Suzhouwei.
"My mother, how many valuable things are there on this Japanese island?" Based on previous experiences, Yin Degui knew that these deep-draft cargo ships that arrived first were loaded with imperial supplies, those gold and silver
Not to mention the treasure, the price of a boatload of sulfur alone exceeded the price of the Japanese girl they wanted to buy.
"Are you excited? How about you sell the building in Guangningwei to your brothers, and then you also become a maritime businessman?" Old Bao rubbed his hands in excitement while getting ready. At the same time, he did not forget to fool Yin Degui.[
"You think we don't have that intention? To tell you the truth, when our son comes back from school, we will go with those wealthy families to expand overseas and take over all the brothels of the Xiyi family!" Yin Degui was very happy!
In fact, his dream is that wherever there are people, there will be a brothel under his banner.
"Ding...ding...ding..." The bell rang on the Baoshan Station Pier under construction, and the businessmen all knew it was time for them to perform.
"Let me talk about today's rules first!" The person who presided over the last auction was Zhang Tianlin. After receiving the award, this guy did not go home with the others to rest. Instead, he tried his best to get Zhu Youcong to agree to stay.
.Although the money from selling the Japanese girl belongs to the court, his private goods belong to himself.
"Sir, we all know the rules!" Having participated in several auctions, Yin Degui thought that he was very familiar with that set of rules, and there was no need for anyone to continue to waste everyone's time explaining them.
"You know what you are!" Zhang Tianlin cursed fiercely and shouted: "That's all we brought back from the Japanese island this time, so the general has ordered that there are ten more licenses for this auction!"
"Permit? What is that?" The brothel owners present all had licenses issued by the government. Without them, they wouldn't be able to buy such cheap products. Why did they get another license?
"That's it!" Zhang Tianlin held up a colorful notebook and explained: "Look clearly, this thing is called the Japanese Island Hunting License. With this thing, you can recruit those ruffians in your hometown, and you can also go
Go to the government prison to redeem those crimes that don’t lead to death, and then go to the Japanese island to catch the women yourself!”
"Japanese island hunting license?" Yin Degui, who was worried that he would never be able to buy cheap Japanese pirates again, suddenly became more energetic. No matter how cheap the imperial court sells them, it is still not as cost-effective as catching them himself! "Sir, how much does this thing cost?
"
"Old rules, the starting price is one thousand taels!" After a pause, Zhang Tianlin continued: "But let's make it clear, even with this thing, you can only capture 10,000 Japanese girls every year, and every year
One has to give the court two taels of silver as compensation!"
"Sure! Sir, please hurry up and announce the start!" One thousand taels is not expensive for the people present, and they also understand the principle of small water always flowing. There are only so many people on this Japanese island, if they are all captured, then
Can we still do business? Besides, it’s useless to bring those too young to bring them back. They have to spend money to raise them. It’s better to leave them on the Japanese island to grow freely.
As for the compensation of two taels of silver for each Japanese girl, including the cost of recruiting subordinates and renting merchant ships, it is a bit more expensive than what the court is selling now. But they who have been doing business for many years also know that they will not panic if they have goods in hand.
, the license only has so much, if you don’t get it, you will have to look at other people’s faces in the future.
"Five thousand taels!" The brave old Bao was the first to shout out the price. In order to protect the honor of the wealthy merchants in the south of the Yangtze River, he could not let all these treasures be snatched away by his northern counterparts.
"Eight thousand taels!" Yin Degui glanced at his opponent and showed no sign of weakness. He brought most of his belongings with him on this trip south. Excluding what he spent in the previous days, there was still nearly one hundred thousand taels. There were
If you have this thing, are you still afraid that there will be no Japanese women?
"Ten thousand!"
"Eleven thousand taels!"
"..."
The scene gradually began to boil. All the profiteers figured out the usefulness of this thing, and those who had a little bit of possessions began to bid. Even those who were really small and small began to look around to find acquaintances and partners to fight for a share of the cup.
soup.
"Boom!" As the broken gong in Zhang Tianlin's hand rang again, the first batch of Japanese hunting licenses were sold out in less than half an hour, with the highest price reaching 250,000 taels per copy.
What everyone didn't expect was that the biggest winners in this competition were actually the wealthy locals from Shaanxi. After asking around in private, I found out that despite the fact that they were not well-dressed and had little experience in running a brothel, over the years they had
Following the Western Front Army, they really did a lot of things to rob the Tatar tribe. Recruiting people and catching Japanese women? This job was easy for them.
"Damn it, isn't it just that we have the support of the Western Front Army? We still have hundreds of thousands of troops in the north. When we go back this time, we have to recruit some people to go out for a walk with them." Only one fish was caught.
Yin Degui, the owner of this hunting license, cursed fiercely in his heart. Although Zhang Polu has done no less bad things than Sun Chengzong in recent years, due to the rich products in the Liaodong region, the people who went out to rob with this northern army really had no land.
Shaanxi is a land of barren people and strong folk customs.
"Now start selling Japanese women!"
As the broken gong in Zhang Tianlin's hand rang again, everyone who had been hit hard just now became excited again. Since they failed to grab the hunting license, they must seize this last opportunity. Try to get as many people back as possible, but there are not many.
I was blackmailed by those profiteers. (To be continued...)[
