Chapter 255
Although Zeng Cheng knew that Daming couldn't get into chaos, Zeng Cheng felt his ass hurt.

Who was the last emperor who valued the people's livelihood, disliked officials, monks, Taoists, and Confucians, and dared to set off a big case involving tens of thousands of people, but after it was over, there was no trouble?

Emperor Hongwu, Emperor Taizu of Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang!

That is also a ruthless person, the big case of tens of thousands of people is revealed as soon as it is revealed, and there is nothing wrong with it, so many officials and generals are in the hands of Emperor Hongwu. .

The results of it?
Hacked out of Xiang!
There is even a ballad among the folks that "talk about Fengyang, talk about Fengyang, Fengyang is a good place, since Emperor Zhu was born, there will be nine years of drought in ten years".

How ironic!

Zeng Cheng knew that Zhu Jinsong's most important thing was the people's livelihood, but once a major case involving tens of thousands of people was made, and this matter fell into the history books, how could Zhu Jinsong's reputation be better than that of Emperor Hongwu?
More importantly, Emperor Hongwu was somewhat better off, but look at what Zhu Jinsong, the Ming emperor, did—taught the barbarians the game of cutting off offspring, such as cottonseed oil and cottonseed cake, and sold guns and cannons to various countries. Starting wars between various countries, using a large number of laborers, and not caring about the life and death of laborers, these things have already affected their reputation, okay?

Besides, it's fine to scold you Emperor Zhu in the history books, but I have to be scolded for being different?
Zeng Cheng can even think of the evaluation of himself in the history books - Zeng Cheng served in the Qing Dynasty at the beginning, after he came to the Ming Dynasty, he was not regarded as despicable, and he was the first assistant, but he did not make any achievements during his administration, and he even practiced flattery...

After the egg hurt for a while, Zeng Cheng simply turned his heart away, thinking about what you like, no matter how he is scolded in the history books, you Emperor Zhu can't see it, and neither can I. Zeng.

But after making up his mind, Zeng Cheng suddenly found that the world became wider, the sky was blue, the grass was green, and his breathing became smoother.

After thinking for a while, Zeng Cheng took the initiative to change the topic: "The European Habsburg family sent an envoy to Ming, claiming that they wanted to join the small broken pot. Xiao Poguo needs to apply in advance, and can only join after being approved by the Xiaopoguo General Assembly, etc. I refused."

"In addition, the household department is also ready to move to Alaska with His Royal Highness King Qin. There are a total of 30 households, about one million people. His Royal Highness Qin is not satisfied with the name of Alaska and requests to change its name to New Qinzhou. .”

Zhu Jinsong nodded and said, "Yes."

The land is all owned by Daming, and it is indeed not appropriate to use the name Alaska all the time, but it is not as nice as the name Xinqinzhou.

As for the Habsburg family, Zhu Jinsong didn't take it to heart at all.

In other words, what Da Ming needs is a chaotic little broken ball full of wars, not a harmonious and friendly little broken ball. who will go?
After pondering for a while, Zhu Jinsong said: "Well, after you go back, talk to the ambassadors of France, England, Sand Goose, and Silly Eagle, and tell them to drag Habu first. Fortress, give them some hope, don't force the Habsburg family to jump over the wall."

Zeng Cheng bowed down immediately.

Zhu Jinsong went on to say: "In addition to the Habsburg family, send someone to the Wa country and tell the Tokugawa family to send [-] Wa warriors as servants to go to the Ottoman army with the Ming army. .”

Zeng Cheng was taken aback immediately, and asked, "Wanu's warrior?"

It's no wonder that Zeng Cheng was in a daze, because Zeng Cheng had seen Japanese slaves and even met Tokugawa Jiaqi in person.

In the eyes of Zeng Cheng, who is 1.7 meters tall, the 1.5-meter-five Tokugawa Iezai is simply a third-class disabled. However, according to Tokugawa Iezari, his 1.5-meter-five height is considered tall among Japanese slaves ——

Recruiting such third-class disabled people to fight with Daming's army, is it to let them kill people?Or let Daming's army protect them?
After thinking about it, Zeng Cheng decided to be more tactful, and tried to persuade Zhu Jinsong: "Your Majesty, those dwarfs are all three-inch small and bark. If they are allowed to go to the battlefield with the army, then how can our Ming army go to war?" Don't you have to devote your mind to protecting them?"

But Zhu Jinsong laughed and said, "Zeng Qing underestimated those short people, didn't you?"

"It should be noted that even a piece of toilet paper will be useful, and these short scumbags are naturally the same. Although their legs are shorter, these short scorpions are stubborn and not afraid of death. As long as you understand them, they will be The best cannon fodder, the kind that you don’t have to feel bad about dying.”

"More importantly, although these dwarfs have learned three parts of human appearance from my Zhongyuan hall, they still have seven parts of animal nature. It is difficult for some Ming troops to follow and fight Ottoman. Things can be handed over to these dwarfs, understand?"

Hearing this, Zeng Cheng probably understood what was going on.

This is the same as when they were playing cochin and Myanmar and Bangzi before. There are indeed many things in the Ming army that are inconvenient to do by themselves, and in the end they can only be handed over to the monkeys or sticks who lead the way.

But on Osman's side, the situation is somewhat different.

People like Jiaozhi, Burma, and Bangzi are actually members of the Tangkou circle in the Central Plains. Although there is never a shortage of opponents of Ming Dynasty, there are also a large number of monkeys and Bangzi who are willing to lead the way for Ming's army.

For the people on the Ottoman side, Deming's army is the devil's army, and it is Kafir who needs to go to Hell, so it is doomed that no one on Ottoman's side will take the initiative to lead Daming.

It is precisely because of this that it is actually not easy for Da Ming to completely eliminate Osman, and maybe he needs to use some less than fair means.

At this time, the usefulness of the short scorpion servant army is reflected-all those bad things are done by the short scorpions. Even if the army of Ming Dynasty finds money on the road, it will take the initiative to hand it over to the guards. It belongs to the good people among the good people , never do anything bad.

Well, this is simply to plot the Japanese slave to death, and completely drain the last drop of blood from the Japanese slave!
Zhu Jinsong went on to say: "In addition, the Kunlun slaves and stick laborers that Daming introduced recently are still a little less after all, so I plan to introduce some more laborers from the Wa Kingdom, and remember to talk to the Tokugawa family later, just say The wages of these workers are the same as before, settled by the household department and the Edo shogunate.”

Zeng Cheng was too lazy to complain anymore, and even regretted why he came to Fengyang.

Stay in the capital to deal with those government affairs, stay away from this unreliable emperor, and live for two more years, isn't he uncomfortable?

But no way, no matter how comfortable or uncomfortable Zeng Cheng felt in his heart, it has already come anyway, and this matter has already come to an end, so we can only leave this matter to Liu Yangxing, the Governor of Kyushu Island in Daming I have a headache.

Of course, as the first Governor of Kyushu Island in Ming Dynasty, Liu Yangxing didn't think it was any trouble.

After receiving the news from Zeng Cheng, Liu Yangxing sent someone directly to find Tokugawa Ieqi, and then invited Tokugawa Ieqi to Kyushu Island as a guest.

After a feast for the host and guests, Liu Yangxing said with a smile: "Mr. De Chuan, I invite you here this time, but I have some good news to tell you."

Tokugawa Jiaqi put his arms around the Japanese girl in his arms and asked with a smile, "I wonder if Governor Liu has any good news?"

Liu Yangxing, who also put his arms around the Japanese girl brought by Tokugawa Jiaqi, said with a smile: "The good news is that, serving His Majesty the Emperor of Ming Dynasty, and serving Daming, the time has come to prove you!"

Tokugawa Jiaqi became energetic immediately, pushed the Japanese woman in his arms aside, straightened up, put his hands on the ground, bowed and said: "Hayi! If you can serve His Majesty the Ming Emperor, Jiaqi will die! "

Liu Yangxing waved his hand with a smile, and said, "Relax, Tokugawa-kun, I will inform you of this matter instead of an imperial decree, which means that this matter is not particularly important."

However, Tokugawa Iechi bowed solemnly: "There is no small matter in Shangguo, and Tokugawa Ieqi will go all out for any orders from His Majesty the Emperor of Shangguo!"

Liu Yangxing laughed out loud, and pushed away the Japanese girls in his arms. After the two Japanese girls had left the room, Liu Yangxing said seriously, "Mr. Tokugawa must have read Daming's newspapers, right?"

Tokugawa Jiaqi nodded, and replied: "Of course I have read it, and I have never missed every issue."

Liu Yangxing hummed, and said, "Then, Mr. Tokugawa also read the news that Daming is going to use troops against Ottoman?"

Tokugawa Jiaqi paused and said: "Hayi! I have already read it. Jiaqi wished he could join the Ming army and fight for His Majesty the Emperor!"

Liu Yangxing thought to himself, let's go to Niang, if you want to talk about disobedience, the biggest disobedience in the world should be your Japanese country, otherwise why don't you hurry up and attach it to the list?

After cursing inwardly, Liu Yangxing went on to say: "After discussing with Mr. Zeng Cheng and Zeng Ge, His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty thinks that the loyalty of the Wa Kingdom is commendable, so you are allowed to recruit [-] warriors from the Wa Kingdom to serve Ottoman as a servant of the Ming Dynasty. .”

Tokugawa Jiaqi was immediately overjoyed, and bowed again: "Thank you, His Majesty the Emperor of Ming Dynasty, for your kindness, Jiaqi is very grateful!"

Of course, to say how loyal Tokugawa Ieqi was to Zhu Jinsong, the great Ming emperor, would be utter bullshit.

What Tokugawa Jiaqi thought was that since Da Ming's army is so powerful, it must have its own advantages, but Da Ming's army has always been recruited only among the people of Daming, and those who are not the people of Ming have no chance of joining the army of Ming. , Tokugawa Iezai couldn't learn even if he wanted to.

As for sending overseas students like France?

It's not that the Tokugawa family didn't send envoys, and it's not that they didn't enter the army to study like Napoleon, but judging from the reports of those envoys, what they learned is obviously not the real essence of the Ming army. To learn the true essence, I am afraid that you still have to fully integrate into the army of Ming Dynasty.

This is a headache.

If you want to learn the essence of the Ming army, you have to integrate into the Ming army, and to integrate into the Ming army, you must first have the household registration of the Ming Dynasty.

This is tantamount to an unsolvable endless loop, at least Tokugawa Jiaqi can't think of any solution.

Well now, Zhu Jinsong, the Emperor of Ming, would allow the Wa Kingdom to send out an army of servants to fight against Ottoman with the army of Ming?

what is this?
This is just when I was about to eat a sticky bean bun, a dorayaki fell from the sky!

After getting this opportunity, Tokugawa Ieaki naturally agreed to Daming's need for labor.

There are not many other things in the Japanese country, so there are still fewer Japanese slaves?
Aren't there a lot of savages on Ezo Island?Arresting them directly and sending them to Daming to work as laborers can not only meet the needs of Daming's father, but also make contributions to the shogunate. Isn't this a great thing!
But, Mr. Lu Xun once said that happy lives are roughly similar, but miserable lives are different.

Tokugawa Jiaqi, who was far away in Wa Kingdom, was happy, but Zhu Jinsong, who was in Daming, was not happy anymore.

Because not long after arriving in Jinling, Ke Zhiming brought bad news to Zhu Jinsong: "Your Majesty, something is wrong!"
