Zhu Gaochi said softly: "This batch of Japanese workers is to be sent to Nanchang Prefecture in Jiangxi Province. Cabinet Xie Jin intends to complete the cement road from Yingtian to Hangzhou Prefecture when the court is about to complete it, and start construction of the cement road from Yingtian to Huai'an Prefecture, and Yingtian to Fengyang.

After the cement road, take the cement road from Yingtian to Nanchangfu, Jiangxi Road.

Then we will build a cement road from Nanchang Prefecture to Huguang Road and Wuchang Prefecture. In this way, the communication between Yingtian and Huguang and Jiangxi will be initially completed. By then, the imperial court will be able to travel between the two roads more calmly."

Zhu Yuanzhang thought for a moment and said, "Are we going to connect the cement roads of Nanchang Prefecture and Taiping Prefecture? Via Chizhou Prefecture?"

Zhu Gaochi immediately spoke: "Grandpa Huihuang, it's true. After passing through Chizhou Prefecture, Raozhou Prefecture, and the cement road, you can enter Nanchang Prefecture."

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled on his face, looked at the stern of the fleet returning from Yingzhou, and whispered: "This road is not easy."

"That's why we have to use Japanese workers to do things." Zhu Yunxi took over and continued: "My grandson also knows about this road. The cabinet wants to connect the cement road between Nanchang Prefecture and Taiping Prefecture. Chizhou Prefecture in the middle is mostly mountainous.

, according to estimates reported by the Ministry of Industry, it is far more complicated and difficult than the three cement roads currently under construction."

"Then let the Japanese workers go."

Zhu Yuanzhang waved his robe and muttered calmly.

The steam warship sailing at full speed soon left behind the fleet behind it and gradually disappeared above the river.

The fleet that had just sailed to the river outside Baguazhou and returned from Yingzhou was sailing at a constant speed.

Around the fleet, there were constant river speedboats patrolling the river to keep watch.

After all, in addition to the most worthless Japanese slaves, there were also gold and silver worth more than one million taels in the fleet. These were the things that the imperial court valued most.

And the Japanese slave ships that no one cares about are filled with darkness and cold blood.

The troop transport ships originally used by the Ming army to transport troops and horses could transport doubled numbers of Japanese slaves to the Central Plains with only minor modifications.

On the deck were the officers and soldiers responsible for guarding the ship.

On the deck, apart from delivering meals, there was almost no one in the cabin where the Japanese slaves were kept.

Darkness is the norm in the cabin below deck.

Without air circulation, it became rancid and pungent during the long voyage.

It was originally a two-story bed, but now it can accommodate five Japanese slaves after only minor modifications.

In the corner of the cabin, there are several large wooden barrels used by Japanese workers to go out. The bottom is connected to the outside of the cabin through a pipe and goes deep into the water.

The benevolent Ming Dynasty did not put shackles on these Japanese workers, and did not even use handcuffs and leg irons.

After all, no one can escape on the vast sea.

In the corner of the cabin, under the small window, light is projected diagonally.

Under the light visible to the naked eye, a Japanese with disheveled hair was curled up and leaning against the wall. He had maintained this posture for a long time.

When I got closer, I could see clearly that it was Yoshinoderama who belonged to the Yoshino family in the Southern Dynasty of Japan.

Yoshinoderama could clearly hear the sound of gunfire outside the cabin.

He had heard the sound of cannons like that in Japan not long ago, and it sounded so familiar today.

Was there civil strife in Ming Dynasty?

The idea of ​​Yoshinoji Mahjong was shattered, and there would be no civil strife in the Ming Dynasty today.

"We're going to Yingtian City..."

Yoshinoderama muttered in a low voice that he had been to the Ming Dynasty, to Yingtian City, and also took a boat on the river that was longer than the Japanese country to enjoy the scenery on both sides of the river.

Yoshinoderama put her hands on the ground and crawled up tremblingly.

Then turn around.

Putting his hands on the small window, Yoshinoderama raised his neck with some difficulty and looked out the window with a pair of cloudy eyes.

That should be Baguazhou outside Yingtian City.

Yoshinoderama looked at the ruins of the cement fort at Sutou with some doubts in his eyes.

"Did that sound of gunfire happen here?"

He whispered to himself in a low voice. There were no officers or soldiers on the island, or they were rebels.

Soon, Yoshinoderama thought that this should be the place where Ming Dynasty inspected its artillery.

What kind of power is there to destroy that strong fortress like this?

Yoshinoderama sighed in his heart, but there was no wave in his eyes.

He has experienced the most desperate thing, and the Japanese country has disappeared from this world.

Japanese...

Nowadays, only the Japanese workers who were escorted to the Ming Dynasty will be turned into white bones in endless years and buried in the soil of unknown places in the Ming Dynasty.

"The Japanese country is really gone..."
