Father Han Gaozu

Chapter 434 Brothers, do you want to be enthroned?

"where is this?"

"Could this be the Japanese island?"

Zhou Shengzhi looked around blankly, took off his shoes, and twisted the water on his clothes. As for the armor, he had long since thrown it to the soldiers next to him to hold it. He looked around vigilantly, and the soldiers kept on On the land, the big ship began to dock on the shore.

During the chasing battle, in order to get rid of the Han army, the big ship began to lose things continuously, initially all kinds of money. Zhou Shengzhi was about to catch up several times, and he saw boxes of coins being thrown from the ship. go out.After that, those people started throwing other sundries, such as beds, fabrics, wooden cases and so on. Seeing that they still couldn't get rid of the Han army, they started throwing food, but they didn't dare to throw away a few bags at will. .

After a while, they started to lose women.

Watching the delicate women screaming and being thrown from the boat, Zhou Shengzhi was stunned. At this moment, Zhou Shengzhi could probably confirm that this boat must be the great noble of Mahan, and it is very likely that the king of Mahan himself! !
Breaking the country and capturing the king is the highest honor in the Han Dynasty. At the same time, it is also the way to obtain the highest military merit. Let’s just say, if Zhou Shengzhi captured this guy alive today, then when he returns, he will be able to beat him by several times. The head's younger brother, although Ma Korea is not big, is a recognized foreign king after all, and this credit is much greater than breaking the Dian Kingdom.

Zhou Shengzhi has always been eager to do something that his grandfather admires.

In some respects, Zhou Shengzhi is very similar to Liu Ruyi, both worship his grandfather, and follow suit intentionally or unintentionally. This is different from Zhou Yafu. Zhou Yafu and his grandfather are relatively rigid, and the two have many military concepts. Disagreement, every time they meet, they always stubbornly think that they are the right ones, and they quarrel wildly.

But like Liu Ruyi, he learned and learned, but he didn't learn the most fundamental things. He learned his father's tactics and used them in a decent manner, but Zhou Bo never used other people's tactics. He has his own unique skills. Thought, Zhou Yafu has learned the inner meaning of his father, and there is a further possibility.

He doesn't hate his younger brother either, his younger brother is talented, but he, being an older brother, just wants to prove that he is not weak, and that he can also obtain military merit!

Under the blessing of this emotion, Zhou Shengzhi began to chase endlessly. Even if a ship sank due to the wind and waves, he did not stop.

The escaping boat couldn't take it anymore, and after leaving the woman behind, it actually started to lose its soldiers.

Soldiers shouted one after another and were thrown from the bow.

After leaving three soldiers in a row, the ship calmed down for a while, and suddenly a man in gorgeous clothes was carried to the bow of the ship. The man shouted angrily and was thrown down.

Zhou Shengzhi was taken aback, and he hurriedly tried to find a way to bring that fellow up.

Fortunately, these yellow heads are capable. After finally rescuing the fellow, and trying to get him to spit out the water, he woke up.

When the man woke up, his eyes were full of fear.

He is the king of Mahan.

Ji Miao scolded angrily: "These rebels, how dare they treat me like this?!"

The interpreter beside Zhou Shengzhi hurriedly explained to him, Zhou Shengzhi heard what happened, he immediately laughed, "In the beginning, your ancestor was overthrown because of abusing the people, and now you are repeating the story of your ancestor. It's like falling in the same place twice, what a stupid act!"

The yellow heads grabbed Jimiao and prepared to return, but at this moment, a storm was coming.

They could only continue to follow the distant Mahan ships, sheltering from the storm behind.

Zhou Shengzhi ordered to bring King Mahan over. Even if he encountered the storm, Zhou Shengzhi was still very happy and polite to Jimiao. After all, this Jimiao was in his eyes, it was a moving food town of a thousand households, how could he Don't pay attention to him?

"These people have thrown you off the boat, why are they still reluctant to stop and surrender?"

Ji Miao looked at him suspiciously and asked, "Aren't you Zhou Shengzhi?"

Zhou Shengzhi was overjoyed. He didn't expect this foreign king to know his name, so he couldn't help asking, "Are they afraid of me?"

"You beheaded everywhere, and wherever you go, how can they dare to surrender without leaving the chickens and dogs?"

Zhou Shengzhi said in surprise: "But I've been very restrained. Recently, I've only been taking prisoners, not beheading them anymore."

Ji Miao lowered his head, looked uneasy, and did not speak. Zhou Shengzhi immediately realized that the co-authoring was propaganda by yourselves!
"Where are you going?!"

"Japanese Island."

"Japanese island??"

Zhou Shengzhi obviously did not know this place, and after a period of sailing, they finally saw the land, which made Zhou Shengzhi extremely happy. After stopping the boat, he immediately brought people to this unfamiliar land.

When he came here, Zhou Shengzhi was still very careful, and sent his soldiers to explore around to see if the Malaysians who escaped were here. After all, they were also human heads and could not be wasted.

The rest of the soldiers searched for water and food.

Zhou Shengzhi sat down, enjoying the rare sunshine, and asked angrily, "Do you think this is the rumored Xiandao?"

"Impossible. There are no gods here."

"What kind of military merit do you say beheading an immortal?"

Zhou Shengzhi raised his head abruptly, his eyes flashing red again.

The soldier's legs softened, and he hurriedly said: "General! Don't say such a thing, if it is really Xiandao"

"What are you afraid of, we have [-] strong crossbows, don't talk about overseas gods, even if Taiyi comes, I will beheaded for military merit!"

Zhou Shengzhi suddenly became excited again at this moment, and his body was full of strength. He stood up suddenly and shouted: "Brothers! Capture King Mahan alive! It has already allowed us to be promoted to several titles! This is an overseas place. , If you can catch immortals and the like here and send them back to His Majesty, then what a military feat!

Huang Tou has been following Zhou Shengzhi these days, and he has been infected a lot by him. Zhou Shengzhi is a very fierce beheading madman in the eyes of outsiders, but in the eyes of his soldiers, this is the great saint.

It is not a saint who can secretly behead a prisoner and give it to his subordinates as military merit regardless of Junling? ?

They didn't have the opportunity to appear before. As the three standing armies of the big Han, their reputation is not even as good as that of the local military state soldiers, which made them very embarrassed. The worst thing is that the title is not high, mainly because there is no chance to get military merit, but After following Zhou Shengzhi this time, they only felt that they had come through hardships. In these days, they have been beheading wildly, constantly making military achievements, and their titles have risen again and again. That is to say, Zhou Shengzhi knew what the bottom line of the emperor was, and did not kill the good man. It's a matter of merit, otherwise, they can climb up the title.

Although he didn't kill the bad guys, Zhou Shengzhi always expected the locals to resist him. As long as there were rebels, he could treat them with the same attitude as the enemy, beheading them for military exploits.

This point is exactly the same as Zhou Bo, who is good at work.

Look at Zhou Bo, he even wanted to chop off the emperor's head for military merit.

Liu Ying's son, Liu Hong, was killed by Zhou Bo. He exchanged the emperor's head for the military merits of [-] households, [-] gold, and the position of prime minister.

When his fourth brother gradually gained real power, he threw this ruthless man who had been pursuing military exploits all his life into prison. He wanted to execute him, which forced Zhou Bo to feel helpless: I will try to kill a million troops, but I am safe. Do you know how valuable a jailer is? ?

After hearing Zhou Shengzhi's words, Huang Toujun couldn't help but look at the strong crossbow in his hand.

Perhaps this strong crossbow gave them great confidence, and they immediately shouted: "I am willing to follow the general!!"

Soon, the Han army expanded its scope of exploration and began to catch the immortals with great interest. Zhou Shengzhi left some people to repair the ships and guard the prisoners and supplies. He also joined the exploration team. This kind of military merit, You just have to get it in person, or you will be divided into a lot.
They explored along the shore for a few days, and finally found a clear water stream. Everyone was overjoyed and began to explore around the water source.

"General!! General!! Catch it!! Catch the fairy!! Come on someone!!!"

There was an exclamation in the distance.

When Zhou Shengzhi walked over happily, he saw a soldier pressing something, and everyone hurried around to check.

The armored soldier stood up, and what he was grasping also revealed his true face.

That's a barbarian.

He is very short in stature. If he is standing next to Liu Chang, Zhou Shengzhi can't even imagine it.

And his hair is loose, his face is painted with various patterns, and his body is covered with things, he is simply a barbarian among barbarians.

Seeing this, Zhou Shengzhi was furious and scolded: "Fuck! Can a god be like this? His Majesty can slap him from here to Hexi Kingdom!"

The prisoner grinned and screamed, but no one here could understand him at all.

"So there are barbarians living here too."

Zhou Shengzhi was a little disappointed, but for some reason, he suddenly laughed again.

"I just don't know how many there are."

"Brothers, do you want to be named Hou?"

The captive looked at the greed in the eyes of the general in front of him, and couldn't help struggling frantically.

"You want to stay in Dahan??"

Liu Chang looked at Mu Xisi in front of him in amazement, completely ignoring what this fellow meant.

According to Liu Chang's instructions, Feng Jing plans to let these people go back early, let the people in Daxia know the situation here, and send more people to carry out publicity work for Dahan for free. The Huns were pushing too hard. In times of crisis like this, it shouldn’t be difficult to ask for a little something and ask them to do something a little bit, right?
Muses understood Feng Jing's suggestion that the big man would not help anyone for no reason, and the biggest military commander of the big Han is now behind the Huns. If you can satisfy the big Han, kick the Huns hard. It's not impossible, there is no need to dispatch the Northern Army, as long as some people are recruited from the Western Regions and Han Xin can do it, no matter where the army is, in the hands of Han Xin, the combat effectiveness can be increased several times. , anyway, the Xiongnu's center of gravity is in the south, and it is impossible to mobilize the army to turn around and fight back.

Muses immediately said that Daxia is willing to be friends with Dahan forever.

However, when saying goodbye, the ambassador actually told Liu Chang that he hoped to stay in Dahan.

Liu Chang is confused, aren't you a clan?Aren't you an ambassador for the country?Your country is going to perish, and you still want to stay here?what is this? ?

And Muses obviously did not agree with Liu Chang's opinion, he said seriously: "Our king asked me to come to Dahan to meet His Majesty, now my duties have ended, I want to stay in Dahan, learn Dahan's knowledge, travel Dahan everywhere, I hope you can agree."

"what??"

Liu Chang can't understand his thoughts at all. Does the rise and fall of your country have nothing to do with you? ?
However, this is their own business, and Liu Chang did not refuse Muses' request. As a nobleman of Daxia Kingdom, Musis is a person who can be used. Liu Chang uses people without looking at his identity. Just to see if he is useful to him.

"Okay, if you want to stay, then stay. I am also willing to be friends with your king, and I want to meet him, but I can't accept the etiquette of breastfeeding. I have to follow the etiquette of a big man. conduct!"

When the translator told Liu Chang's original words to Muses, Muses was also at a loss.

How did I not know we had such etiquette? ?
He asked back in surprise: "Why don't I know about this? Did Your Majesty hear it wrong? Could it be that the translation is wrong? If the two countries communicate with each other, if even the basic etiquette can be translated incorrectly, how can this work? !"

The translator hesitated for a moment, and then translated: "Your Majesty, he said that they will modify the etiquette when they go back. I wonder if the envoys of the Daxia Kingdom will be able to adopt the etiquette of the Han when they come?"

Liu Chang smiled and nodded, "This is the best! I allow it!"

The translator looked at Muses and said, "Your Majesty said that he heard it wrong, and he will use the manners of a big man to meet him in the future!"

Musiston also smiled and nodded.

The translator wiped the sweat from his forehead.

Liu Chang looked at the translator and said, "Your name is Qu, right?"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

"No last name?"

"No surname!"

"Okay, give you the surname Liu! From now on, you will stay by Feng Jing's side and help him teach a group of people who can speak Daxia Mandarin!"

The merchants were ecstatic, and the only people who could have this treatment were those who belonged to the Chu king's clan and Liu Jing.As a humble businessman, he was able to obtain such a surname, which was even more exciting than letting him serve as an official. He hurriedly went to the prostration to meet the emperor, and then took Muses out of here.

When the two came out, Muses also looked at Liu Qu gratefully.

"This time, thanks to you, without you, there is really no way to communicate with Your Majesty. Thank you very much!"

"Cough, you don't have to be so polite, this is what I should do."

Moses took out some gold again, "I hope to learn Yayan with you, I hope you can do it."

Liu Qu accepted it with peace of mind, "Okay, I can teach you."

Muses laughed, "Let them return to their lives, I will stay by your side to study in the future, I really want to go around Dahan."

The fellow artists also wanted to stay, but Muses didn’t allow it. Muses was an unemployed nobleman. He was not a minister of the King of Daxia. He had no official position. After that, you can quit, but the artist is different. He is a court painter and a minister who has sworn allegiance. If he is forced to stay, he will be regarded as a betrayal.

Feng Jing also told Liu Chang about this. Feng Jing didn't want to let the artist go. It wasn't because Feng Jing admired this person so much. He just felt that after the person returned, if he drew some maps of Dahan. , secrets and the like, I'm afraid it's not very good, he's here to do this this time.

But Liu Chang didn't care, he waved his hand, "I'm not afraid they know, I'm afraid they don't!"

Feng Jing was helpless.

At this moment, Liu Chang is sitting in the Hall of Houde, discussing with Ji Bu about the ship going to sea.

It is because of this incident that Liu Chang has been a little bit devastated recently.

Scientific research really requires a lot of effort.

Especially in shipbuilding, building a large ship is not cheap. Besides, they are still in the trial stage, and they are not sure that the ship they built will be successful. In this case, the research of the shipyard is like burning. money.The ministers were very dissatisfied, thinking that His Majesty was doing useless work and wasting national strength in vain.

Zhou Chang even came several times and directly insulted Liu Chang.

"Hunjun! The people in the world have just eaten two meals, and you want to make them starve again?!"

"What's the difference between you and that Hu Hai?!"

If it wasn't for Zhou Chang's age, Liu Chang would have been afraid of killing him, and he would have done it a long time ago.

But even the Queen Mother thought so, which put a certain amount of pressure on Liu Chang.

The Empress Dowager also felt that Chang Liu paid too much attention to these instruments. Shang Fang and the shipbuilding workshop cost a lot of money, and only a few of them succeeded in each year's research. If things go on like this, the state treasury will let you down first. The Empress Dowager thinks that it should be done first. Pay attention to people's livelihood, don't be so anxious, reduce investment, instead of spending a lot of money to study a big ship that can go to sea, it is better to use this energy to make [-] hoes and distribute them to the people of the world.

That is to say, Liu Chang's mouth was hard, and he resisted all the criticism.

Ji Bu was one of the few ministers who did not persuade Liu Chang, so he also ruined his reputation. The ministers said that he was a villain like Zhang Budo who only knew how to flatter.

Liu Chang sighed and shook his head helplessly.

"Maybe I'm in a hurry. Zhou Chang's scolding is ugly, but what he said can't be said to be wrong. Keeping the people full is the most important thing."

Seeing the depressed Liu Chang, Ji Bu said seriously: "Your Majesty, they are just worried that you care more about Shang Fang than the people, so they advise me that the minister is responsible for these things, and the annual expenditure is within the expected range. If the treasury cannot be completely collapsed, you can safely leave this matter to me.”

"Then you're not worried?"

"I'm not worried, because I know that His Majesty is so concerned about Shang Fang's affairs because he cares about the people."

"What you said, I didn't know what I heard, I thought it was said by my wife!"
