Chapter 1120: I would rather kill a thousand by mistake
This time, it was the first time that the Zhenguo Mansion Navy set out for voyage.
If Ye Chunqiu only returned with his merits, he would only receive merit and praise. Then what? Then, just like Emperor Wen and Zheng He, the feats he accomplished with their strong promotion. When they passed away, they would naturally die.
Therefore, Ye Chunqiu’s goal is very simple. Since he has come, he must not be empty-handed. Not only can he not be empty-handed, but he also wants to make many people in the Zhenguo Mansion rich.
Only in this way can the maritime government of Zhenguo Government continue and enrich the palace of the treasury. Even if the emperor today is not Zhu Houzhao, even if there is any rift between the new emperor and Ye Chunqiu, he will support the maritime government of Zhenguo Government to the end without hesitation. Only those shareholders of Zhenguo Government will become vested interests of the maritime government, those sailors and shipbuilders, even if they may get only small profits, will make them an enviable object among the civilians.
The so-called maritime affairs are nothing more than one thing, which makes people profit, that's all.
Ye Chunqiu read many Four Books and Five Classics and was well aware of the principles. Even Confucius was very clear that humans were animals driven by interests, so he had the allusion that "Zi Lu was persuaded to be virtuous, and Zi Gong was humble and stopped good."
You help others and get benefits, so more people are willing to help others.
If you help others but refuse to accept rewards from others, then people will raise their moral standards and should think that helping others cannot be rewarded. In this case, who is willing to help others?
Countless artillery fire continued, and after half an hour, the artillery fire finally stopped.
The ships dropped their landing ships, and then the eight hundred town new army students began to land. In the distance, the fire was still burning. When Ye Chunqiu and his men rushed to the beach with the waves, what they saw was nothing but devastation. Occasionally, someone moaned in scorched earth, and someone suddenly stood up from the pile of dead people. Obviously, this man was a samurai. His eyes showed despair, and he barely carried a samurai sword and howled.
Slap sex...
Several rifles had already pointed at him, and then the gunfire was loud.
The heavy samurai armor on his body could not stop the Minnie bomb at all, so he had a few more blood holes on his body and became weaker again.
The students of the new army in Zhenguo began to tacitly disperse in the form of a group, erecting bayonets, moving forward in this bloody blur.
Ye Chunqiu held the telescope and looked at the fire in Sulang City, ignoring it.
Soon, several people brought Hiroshi Takeda over.
Takeda Hiroyi's armor was already broken. He was covered in blood and gasping for a lot of breath. For only half an hour, this half an hour was like a nightmare for him. Although he survived, he found that he had nowhere to escape. The artillery fire covered the Castle Town behind him. Going back was like a death sentence. The person carrying him put him down. His flesh stuck to the armor. His heavy breathing seemed to make him grin in pain.
Ye Chunqiu looked at him, and just now, he could see the other party's identity from Takeda Hiroyi's behavior. Ye Chunqiu smiled and returned to his appearance as a scholar. He saluted Hiroyi and said, "I am not satisfied with the Gao surname. I am a man, Ye Chunqiu, who will lead a fleet to suppress the Japanese pirates this time, and negotiate with the respected country on the diplomatic relations between the two countries. I hope I can go back and report a letter to appease the military and civilians here, and have the intention of the students."
The words may not be very clear, but Takeda Hiroshi must have known the words. Someone took a pen and wrote Ye Chunqiu's meaning and handed it over to Takeda Hiroshi.
The current text in Japan is actually Chinese characters, but it is just a little pseudonym. As a nobleman in Japan, writing and reciting Chinese characters is no problem. Takeda Hiroyi, with Ye Chunqiu's "letter" and staggered towards Langsu City, where only the broken walls and remnants are left.
"Chunqiu, he..." Wang Shouren, who was standing beside him, couldn't help asking.
Ye Chunqiu looked at the stumbled back of Takeda Hiroyi. He had long lost his arrogant life. He smiled and said, "It's time to deal with me now. Let's go back to the boat and wait. After twenty hours, if no one comes to talk, then next, it's time to give them a little color."
Wang Shouren nodded with his lips and looked into the distance.
After clearing the port, everyone returned to the ship.
One day, there was no news on the Japanese island, but in the early morning of the next day, someone finally arrived at the shore.
Ye Chunqiu ordered people to use landing craft to pick them up. There were three people who came, the leader, Ashikaga Yoshika, the general of the Conquering Yiyi. He was a puppet, and most of them were forced by this Ouchi Yoshiki. In addition, Takeda Hiroshi in a kimono. Takeda Hiroshi had a gray face and lowered his head, and he didn't say anything from beginning to end.
After getting on the deck, Ye Chunqiu brought Qian Qian, Deng Jian and others to welcome him. The three of them bowed deeply respectfully to Ye Chunqiu.
Ye Chunqiu looked at them and said with a smile: "Is there a general translation here?"
Ashikaga Yoshikazu, who had a look of wine and was hollowed out, said: "I know Chinese."
After hearing what he said, he was proficient in Chinese and had a bit of Luoyang accent.
Ye Chunqiu smiled because when he spoke Chinese, Ashikaga Yoshikazu and Takeda Hiroshi and Ouchi Yoshiki were fluctuating their faces. It seemed that they had a little superficial understanding of Chinese.
It is not difficult to understand that Japan is deeply influenced by the Han people. At least in terms of culture, the upper class of the Japanese people is proud to be able to speak Chinese and read poetry.
Ye Chunqiu was not arrogant to them, and each reported his own names and then invited them into the cockpit.
In the cabin, Ye Chunqiu sat in the main seat without hesitation, and Ashikaga Yoshikazu had to sit on one side.
Ye Chunqiu ordered someone to serve tea and continued, "I'm here to wipe out the Japanese pirates. I wonder how many Japanese pirates are still hiding in this Japanese country?"
Ashikaga Yoshitaki suddenly felt guilty and was busy seeing Yoshihiko Ouchi. Yoshihiko Ouchi's face was pale, but he couldn't speak out.
Ye Chunqiu frowned: "The Japanese pirates ravaged my Ming Dynasty, so the navy in Zhenguo Mansion would rather kill a thousand by mistake than let one go. Naturally, the Ming Dynasty and the Japanese are friendly countries and should respect each other. This time the general came here, which made me so grateful. However, I was ordered to suppress the thieves and had to search in Japan, hoping that the general would allow it."
Ashikaga Yoshitaki said embarrassedly: "I...I...No, the Japanese pirates... have been wiped out."
