Section 151

Suddenly, he heard the report from his samurai.

They said there was an enemy attack?

How is that possible! His location was one of the main locations for the Yuan Dynasty to attack!

This location is the best location for the divine wind to protect.

Even if the Ming Dynasty really attacked, they would not attack from this location.

The Uesugi and Musashi clans next to them are better locations to be attacked!

Feint attack! It must be a feint attack!

And even if the Ming Dynasty really chooses to attack from here, what?

The powerful soldiers of the Yuan Dynasty were easily dealt with by them, and these Ming soldiers who dared to attack would not be an exception!

"All samurai! All leave the city! I want this group of troops to have no return!"

Just when this daimyo led the army to the edge of the fortress, they suddenly heard a burst of thunder in their ears.

Boom boom boom!

The island country nickname, bad luck, or too good luck, died!

Chapter 160 Confiscating money and grain, leaving no prisoners

Although the island country of Wa has become a whole in name, it is actually more chaotic than the period of Jiedushi separatism in the late Tang Dynasty.

The ruling power of the daimyo was actually much higher than that of the governors of the Han Dynasty and the Jiedushi of the Tang Dynasty.

Jiedushi at least had some constraints.

In fact, the daimyo themselves had basically no constraints, and even the orders of the shogun were delivered to them by means of messengers.

As for whether they were obedient, that was their own business.

The death of this daimyo meant that the kingdom he was in charge of was completely in chaos!

The soldiers under the daimyo were all ordinary people, and the ruling class was basically called samurai.

In fact, many people in the island countries were in a contemptuous attitude towards the Ming Dynasty.

Because many years ago, the former Yuan Dynasty was defeated, not to mention it.

There were also a few samurai who could show off their power on the seashore of the Ming Dynasty with dozens of people!

From this point of view, a mere Ming Dynasty was not a troublesome thing at all.

As long as all their samurai gathered together and waited until the opponent's artillery was fired.

How could a mere Ming army be taken seriously?

This idea cannot be said to be right or wrong.

Because many truths spread together will form a huge lie.

It didn't take long for Changlu Kingdom to be bombed beyond recognition.

In the end, it was captured by the Ming army.

The warriors' counterattack was just a simple dying struggle.

After entering the city, they began to plunder as usual.

Bandits come like combs, soldiers come like combs!

It means that bandits come to rob, just like combing hair with a comb, and soldiers fight and plunder like sifting with a comb over and over again.

This is not to say that soldiers are more fierce than bandits, but because bandits are worried that the government will send people to track them down, so they naturally dare not plunder for a long time.

Soldiers plunder openly and honestly, and have plenty of time.

The leaders of this fleet are Zhu Zhanji and Zhu Zhankan.

The two are sitting in the government office of the Changlu Kingdom.

"Small island country, there is such a private room?" Zhu Zhanji admired sincerely.

Although this small island country is indeed not doing good things, the architectural style of the Tang Dynasty is indeed very similar.

Zhu Zhanji picked up a cup of fine rice wine and began to drink it by himself with a relaxed heart.

At home, the Crown Princess Zhang was the boss, and she didn't let Zhu Zhanji drink too much.

After finally going out again, Zhu Zhanji couldn't help but start drinking a little.

However, Zhu Zhanji's alcohol tolerance was really bad. He drank a few pots of wine, which added up to just over a pound, and he was a little drunk.

Zhu Zhankan opened his silver eyes and carefully searched the environment of the occupied area.

There were no monsters.

According to legend, the island country should have the so-called eight hundred monsters.

There are also legends such as the night parade of a hundred ghosts.

But now it seems that the recovery of spiritual energy has not reached the point where all the monsters appear.

Even so, Zhu Zhankan did not relax his vigilance.

Watching the soldiers plundering the island country's financial and material resources.

If the Ming Dynasty was suppressing bandits in the country, Zhu Zhankan might forcibly stop the soldiers' messy behavior.

But when fighting against the enemy, there is nothing to say.

In fact, the soldiers themselves do not earn much.

The reason why the rewards for the previous northern expedition were so high was because the emperor was happy and increased the rewards.

Under normal circumstances, the salary for a northern expedition was just a little money.

The soldiers lived on the extra income from the successful expedition!

Soon, a night passed in a blink of an eye.

Zhu Zhankan's subordinate, Qianhu Ma Li, came to see him with a happy face.

"Your Highness, the army has been reorganized, with plenty of rest time, and can be ready for another battle at any time!" Ma Li said seriously.

Zhu Zhankan nodded and asked, "How much property was confiscated?"

"Not much money and food, about half a stone per person, a lot of silver, about more than 20 taels per person!"

Even Ma Li was surprised that this small place could collect so much silver.

They did not break through the entire Changlu Kingdom, but only broke through the big city where the daimyo of Changlu Kingdom was located.

And their army had more than 8,000 people.

Each person had an income of more than 20 taels, which represented an income of hundreds of thousands of taels of silver!

The daimyo may have gathered all his treasures here, but hundreds of thousands of taels of silver is not a small amount!

The Ming Dynasty collected only about a few hundred thousand taels of cash every year, and the rest was income from grain, cloth, copper coins and the like.

Zhu Zhankan didn't find it strange.

According to records, the annual silver production of Iwami Ginzan is about 1.5 million to 2 million taels.

Zhu Zhankan was not surprised that a famous person could spend hundreds of thousands of taels.

"The army is ready to advance. Anyone who stands in my way will be killed! No prisoners will be taken!"

After conveying the order, all the soldiers had firm eyes and high morale!

Because Zhu Zhankan did not confiscate the large sum of money they seized!

According to the army regulations, the money and food seized from the local treasury need to be turned over!

However, today His Highness showed mercy and allowed them to directly seize all the property in the city!

The money is in place! Morale is up!

...

The news that the Daming Mansion in Changlu State had been captured, after a night of fermentation, spread to the surrounding small cities, and also to several surrounding Daming Mansion.

Several leaders including Uesugi, Shimoi, and Nakamura gathered around. They were originally subordinate to the daimyo of Changlu Country.

They were also the first few people to react after hearing about the fall of Daming Mansion.

"I really don't have a big name, but the enemies from outside were invaded!" A man with a defiant face said.

"You can't say that. The other party is attacking our country, Chang Lu. As long as we react, we can easily drive them out!"

The divine wind from many years ago gave them great confidence.

They are very sure that as long as they prepare their formations, when the war begins, they will be the ones chasing the invading enemy forces one-sidedly!

Nakamura sat on the tatami without saying a word, waiting for all the samurai to assemble.

His hands tightly grasped the katana in his hand!

When they walked outside and prepared to fight, they suddenly noticed a puff of dust rising in the distance.
