The eldest grandson of Emperor Ming Dynasty!

At night, between mountains and jungles.

Shimoki Genji walked forward in the dark.

He finally persuaded his father and got the opportunity to report to Kitakyushu City.

But he was only allowed to go alone.

If there were too many people there, they would be more likely to be discovered by the samurai, which would bring disaster to the village.

In the cloth bag at the waist is the dry food to carry.

Xiamu Village, who is used to being robbed of food, would naturally hide some of the food, otherwise they would have all starved to death.

"As long as I can successfully report the letter, the Ming army will definitely reward me, and the people in the village will no longer have to live such a hard life."

He hates.

Because everyone's life is getting better now, but they are the only ones who go to Kimura and let others bully them.

But times have changed now.

They are tribal people of the Wa Kingdom, but they are actually descendants of the Han people. His surname is not Xiamu, but Zhao.

Grandpa told him that Zhao was a very big family in the Central Plains.

Their ancestors were direct descendants of the Zhao family, with countless cattle and sheep, servants, endless food, and endless wealth.

With this belief.

Shimoki Gener crossed the mountains and ridges, and headed in the direction of Kitakyushu City.

In fact, Burakumin are not allowed to leave the village, so Shimoki Genji never left the village in his life.

Because he was forbidden to study, he didn't know what was called southeast, north, south, and north.

He only knows that there is a road leading to the outside, and in his cognition, the outside is Kitakyushu City.

However, Kitakyushu City is in the southeast, but he walked in the southwest.

But the good thing is that the entire Kyushu Island belongs to Daming, no matter which city he finds, it belongs to Daming.

Jincheng.

A large number of Japanese people lined up at the gate of the city to enter the city. Some of them were traders from the surrounding area, and some were merchants from other places.

Shimoki Genji watched from a distance.

"Is that the Han people? They are indeed mighty and domineering."

Looking at the soldiers of the Ming army on duty at the city gate, Xia Muyuan's eyes lit up.

At this moment, Shimogi Gener was dressed in rags, and he looked like a beggar. The words he had thought up on the road made him a little timid when he came in front of him.

Gritting his teeth, Shimoki Gener walked towards the direction of the guard.

"Hey, you beggar, why don't you line up?"

"Leave him alone, if you don't follow the rules, Lord Mingjun will teach him a lesson."

Everyone around him was watching the show, and no one told him anything.

Shimoki Gener rushed straight to the soldiers on duty at the city gate.

"Stop!"

The soldiers were not surprised to see this. In this barbaric land, many people had no etiquette.

"Go to line up!"

The soldier scolded him.

Shimogi Genji was so frightened that he knelt down on the ground.

The soldiers were not surprised to see this, and they didn't mean to be violent.

This is Shangfeng's explanation, in non-special circumstances, try not to use force.

"I have something important to explain to... Lord City Lord."

As if he had exerted all his strength, Genji Shimoki finally said this sentence.

Those who can be on duty here are more or less able to understand the Japanese language. Shimogi Genji spoke very slowly, and the soldiers understood it.

He smiled and said in broken Japanese: "What do you have to tell our city lord."

This is considered a joke. The soldier didn't think such a beggar could say anything.

City Lord, that is His Royal Highness King Jin, can anyone see it?

"Samurai, many samurai, they came to our village and wanted to do harm to the Lord of the City." Genji Shimoki calmed down a lot and replied.

Hearing the word samurai, the faces of the soldiers on duty became much more serious.

Regardless of whether it is true or not, it is not a simple matter when it comes to samurai.

"Do you know that lying about the military situation is a serious crime of beheading." The soldier's voice was a little low, and the soldiers who were on duty with him also came over.

Perhaps because this sentence is difficult to understand, Shimogi Genji just said: "Samurai, many, many warriors, more than the people here, they robbed all the food in our village."

Hearing this, the soldier exchanged a glance with his colleague next to him.

Then the soldiers next to him immediately ran towards the tower, obviously to report the news.

The soldier who asked the question earlier nodded slightly to the other colleagues, and several people immediately came over and surrounded Shimo Gener.

Shimogi Genji was very scared, swallowed a mouthful of saliva and asked: "My lord, if there is merit, will I be rewarded?"

The soldier understood what he said.

"If it is true, there will naturally be a reward for you. If it is false, then you can wait to be beheaded."

Not long after, an officer wearing the uniform of the General Banner came over.

Next to him, there was a Jin Yiwei.

Jin Yiwei was responsible for the translation. After all, the gates of the city were the most prone to confusion, and it would be impossible if no one knew Japanese.

"take away."

The general flag immediately asked the soldiers to take them back to the tower for interrogation.

Shimoki Genji just followed in blankly.

Walking through the city gate, he saw dense crowds in the city, more people than he had ever seen in his life.

He was dazzled by the shouting vendors, the merchants in gorgeous costumes, and the mighty knights on tall horses.

He is curious about everything.

"Give him something to eat."

"Yes."

Inside the city tower, the soldiers brought two pancakes under the order of Jin Yiwei Zhuo Xu.

Xia Muyuan Er hadn't eaten for almost two days. He only brought three days of dry food, but it took five days to arrive here.

Looking at the steaming hot pancakes, Xia Muyuaner quickly grabbed them and ate them without burning his mouth.

After gobbling for a while, he ate up the two pancakes in front of him.

"I'm full, now it's time to talk about your affairs, don't think about hiding anything."

"Now let me ask you, what is your name, where do you come from, and where did you see the warrior."

Jin Yiwei Zhuo Xu was persuasive and asked in Japanese.

Shimo Gener respectfully replied: "My lord, my name is Shimo Gener, and I come from Xiamu Village."

"A lot of warriors came to our village. They robbed us of food. I know that our place is already under the jurisdiction of Ming Dynasty. So many warriors must be preparing some kind of conspiracy."

Jin Yiwei Zhuo Xu frowned slightly, and recalled that in King Jin's vassal state, there seemed to be no village called Xiamu in his impression.

"Where is your village?"

Shimoki Genji was stumped by this question, he didn't know how to say it.

"Don't worry, think about it carefully. It took a few days from the village to Jincheng, and what places did you pass?" Jin Yiwei, who had rich experience, said as a guide.

Genji Shimoki was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and asked: "Jincheng, isn't this North Kyushu City?"

Zhuo Xu, the Jin Yiwei, was moved in his heart and asked in a slightly surprised tone: "Your Xiamu Village is near Beijiucheng. You saw many warriors there. Is that right?"

Shimoki Genji nodded: "Yes, my lord."

Zhuo Xu got up immediately, walked directly to Shimo Gener's side, and began to ask for some details.

Including how Shimo Genji came here, how many days it took, and so on.

After asking clearly, Zhuo Xu's eyes were filled with surprise that could not be concealed.

This is a godsend.

Immediately ordered to the general banner next to him: "Look at him so well, give him some food and water, and I will go to the city to report to His Royal Highness King Jin immediately."

The general flag obviously also knew that this was a very serious problem, so he immediately cupped his fists and said, "Of order."

Although Jinyiwei like Zhuo Xu is just a general banner, his actual rank is equivalent to a hundred households.

He also has the right to directly report to King Jin.

The news quickly reached Zhu Yan.

In fact, as long as you hear the keywords of Kitakyushu, Shimokimura, and samurai, you can think of the problem.

Especially for Zhu Yan, who had just attended the meeting of the Four Feudal Kings, and knew that Ashikaga Yoshimitsu was likely to launch a surprise attack on King Yan.

"Good guy, it seems that I guessed correctly. This Ashikaga Yoshimitsu really has a bit of strategy. It's only been a while, and he has already arranged for someone to come over. He wants to attack front and back."

Zhu Yan laughed, and then told Zhuo Xu: "Bring the kid who reported the letter over here and show it to me. If it's true, it can be regarded as a great achievement."

Jin Yiwei table Xu hurriedly returned, and brought Xia Mu Yuaner to Jinwang Palace.

In the past few years, Zhu Bian spent a lot of money on the renovation of the Jin Palace, not to mention the extravagance.

At this moment, Xiamu Yuaner was shocked by the majesty of the Jin Palace, just like Grandma Liu entering the Grand View Garden.

The soldiers in armor made him even more frightened.

He had never seen such a mighty and tall soldier wrapped in iron armor.

Along the way, Jin Yiwei also had to teach him some etiquette urgently, which inevitably offended King Jin.

When he arrived at King Jin's Hall, Xia Mu Yuaner saw a vague figure sitting on top of him, inspecting himself with majestic eyes, and knelt down on the ground with a plop.

Only kneeling like this can he feel a little bit of peace in his heart.

"Xiao Min goes down to Mu Yuan Er to meet His Royal Highness King Jin."

Zhu Yan didn't understand Japanese, so Xu, who was sitting next to him, translated.

"Get up. I have a question for you. You are a Japanese. Why did you spend five days traveling over the mountains to tell me about the Japanese soldiers?"

Zhu Yan asked curiously.

He learned from Jin Yiwei's table Xu that the Japanese people in front of him traveled across the mountains and mountains, day and night, just to report the news.

Originally, he was heading towards Beijiucheng, but ended up running to his own Jincheng.

This is obviously not normal.

After Shimogi Genji heard Zhuo Xu's translation, he hurriedly said what he had kept in his heart.

"Because I am not a Japanese, I am a descendant of the Han people."

When Zhu Yan heard the words, there was something novel about it, so let him talk about it in detail.

Under Shimogi Genji's explanation, Zhu Yan finally understood.

It turns out that not all the people living in Shimoki Village are Japanese.

Except for a small number of Japanese who committed crimes, most of them were descendants of the Southern Song army who attacked the Japanese kingdom in the early Mongolian and Yuan Dynasties.

Because he was captured by the Japanese, his status was extremely low, which was equivalent to living in the Japanese country as a criminal.

That's right, in the eyes of the Japanese, the Southern Song soldiers who attacked the Japanese country were indeed criminals.

After listening, Zhu Yan also sighed a little.

The descendants of the Han people 130 years ago are still left to this day.

The most important thing is that the majestic Han people will be despised by the Japanese.

"Whether it is true or not, I will naturally send someone to investigate. If it is true, you should have made great contributions."

"Just now you said that you are descended from the Han people, but you still know the surname of your ancestors."

Zhu Yan asked.

Xiamu Yuaner quickly replied: "Xiamu is a surname given by the Japanese. The ancestor of our branch was originally named Zhao."

"In our cellar, we hide the ancestral land of the Central Plains written by our ancestors. It's just that it's been too long. We don't know Chinese characters, nor can we speak Chinese."

By this time, Zhu Yan had already believed what Shimogi Genji said.

Because this matter is easy to investigate, and there is no conspiracy, the possibility of fraud is unlikely.

As long as the hiding place of the Japanese soldiers is found, it will be of great effect to defeat the prisoners first, and wait until Ashikaga Yoshimitsu to carry out the sneak attack.

"Since he is a descendant of the Han people and has made contributions, this king should reward him."

"Afterwards, you should restore your status as a Han in your village, and you are allowed to return to the Central Plains to visit your relatives, and you will no longer be bullied by the Japanese."

Zhu Yan said directly.

He can use this name to directly place Shimoki Village under the jurisdiction of the feudal state.

You must know that Kitakyushu was originally under the joint jurisdiction of the four vassals. Now that he has this excuse, the second brother and the fourth brother have absolutely nothing to say.

In this way, the territory equivalent to a vassal state has expanded a part, killing two birds with one stone.

Zhu Yan learned from Xia Muyuaner that the Southern Song army who was captured at the beginning was not only from their own village, but also many people lived in other places.

If he could know where these places were, it would be of great help to Zhu Yan.

Especially for those who live in Zhongzhou Island, Japan, they only need to send someone to talk about it, and that is his best work.

After receiving the information, Zhu Fan immediately sent people to the surrounding areas of Beijiucheng and began to inquire about information about Japanese soldiers.

As for Shimoki Village, it is actually very easy to investigate. You only need to ask the original Japanese officials in Kitakyushu City to know.

Dozens of elite scouts began to investigate with Xia Mucun as the center.

After all, it is 5 people, not dozens or hundreds.

It was because of the help of the Japanese that we didn't get the news before. After this investigation, the results were immediately available.

Its approximate location was soon determined.

They hide in various villages around Kitakyushu, and the Han officials who manage these villages have been imprisoned or killed.

On each checkpoint, there are Japanese soldiers lurking.

But under Daming's elite scouts, all this was fully exposed.

The news quickly reached Zhu Yan.

Hearing that there were tens of thousands of warriors, Zhu Yan was not surprised but delighted.

He is now in various mines in the feudal domain, but there is a large shortage of slaves. The ordinary Japanese people are all thin as ribs and have extremely poor physical fitness.

Mining is a physical activity, and the best ones are Japanese soldiers.

Capturing these Japanese soldiers can largely alleviate Zhu's lack of employment.

In addition to the private soldiers sent to Luzon, Zhu Wei also had more than 3 personal guards and a private army composed of [-] Japanese soldiers.

Although facing tens of thousands of Japanese soldiers, Zhu Yan didn't think it was too much trouble.

In the way of attack, it can naturally be easily defeated.

He also didn't intend to tell Zhu Di or other vassal princes, because he was fully capable of eating alone.

At the moment, gather the army and go directly to the place where the Japanese soldiers are lurking.
