The Holy Emperor of Ming

Chapter 337 You Will Regret It (4600 words)
After hearing what Zhu Ye mentioned, the big tent suddenly became quiet.

Yue Fei and other generals in the army frowned suddenly, seeming to be quite disgusted.

Biyusheng frowned and hesitated.

Only Cao Shaoqin's eyes lit up and he looked a little excited.

"This Juexin is indeed a talented person. May I ask Your Highness Ye Wang, can this Juexin be trusted?" Cao Shaoqin spoke first.

“Whether it is credible or not is up to you factory guards to judge.

Whether this is carried out or not is also your responsibility." Zhu Ye said calmly.

After saying this, he closed his eyes and seemed to be resting, not saying anything more.

Seeing this, everyone in the tent really stopped disturbing him.

One is that the opponent’s strength is too strong.

The second is that the other party’s status is too high.

At the same time, it is not appropriate to interfere in military and political affairs.

"General Yue, Deputy Chief Bi, and everyone, I think this is feasible. This is a good way to get those Japanese villains to gather together.

Not only this, we can also select some more people from among them to incite the Japanese to gather and resist.

By then, we will be able to catch all the Japanese who dare to resist our Ming Dynasty in one fell swoop. "Cao Shaoqin immediately said coldly, his cold and murderous look made people around him subconsciously want to stay away.

"Although this is a solution, it is a bit too much and does not live up to the reputation of the Ming Dynasty's upright army." Yue Fei pondered for a moment and spoke calmly.

The generals in the army nodded one after another.

Any means necessary on the battlefield, but they still felt that this method was too despicable and subconsciously rejected it.

Hearing this implicit rejection and opposition, Cao Shaoqin smiled faintly and said indifferently: "General Yue is right, our Ming Dynasty army must be upright.

But the factory guards don't need it, so let's leave this matter to them.

After success, General Yue will just need to follow the intelligence from the factory guards to wipe out those thieves."

Cao Shaoqin's tone was somewhat arrogant, but Yue Fei was unable to argue.

The Factory Guards are the eyes and ears of the army, and in most matters, they need to obey the orders of the commander-in-chief.

But if it was a matter of planting a traitor, he really couldn't say anything, as this was the other party's expertise and was more beneficial to the Ming Dynasty.

Moreover, Cao Shaoqin's identity is also different. He is the deputy supervisor of the East Factory and one of the people who has been following His Majesty since childhood.

Although Yue Fei did not care about these things and focused on military affairs, he also knew that he could not force orders on the other party in this regard.

Also, he subconsciously rejected this method, but this method was really beneficial to the army and the Ming Dynasty. He could not say much and could only remain silent and acquiesce.

He agreed, and the generals in the army immediately agreed.

Cao Shaoqin smiled slightly, looked at Bi Yusheng who was still thinking and said: "Bi Chenshi, what do you think?

If the Jinyiwei are unwilling, then this time we can let the Dongchang take charge."

"Deputy Governor Cao, you are joking. All kinds of matters can only be handled by the Jinyiwei, and the East Factory can only supervise." Bi Yusheng smiled indifferently and said calmly, which was also a reminder.

Cao Shaoqin snorted in his heart and said indifferently: "Then Bi Chenshi should make a decision quickly. If Bi Chenshi disagrees, then I will report it to the governor.

Let the governor discuss this with Commander Guo."

As he said this, he felt a little helpless.

This is also the biggest helplessness of the East Factory.

The East Factory only had the power to supervise the Embroidered Uniform Guard, but did not have the power to actually do anything.

Even he or Cao Zhengchun could not go beyond that.

“Although this method can lure out more dissatisfied people in Japan who dare to resist, if it is done intentionally, it will inevitably lead to more killings.

Resulting in the deaths of hundreds of thousands or even more people.

We have also lost the upright spirit of the Ming Dynasty.

Also, if we really want to do this, it would be best if we do the same on the other three islands as well, and if so, we have to report this to the higher authorities.

Therefore, I think we should report this to the commander-in-chief." Biyusheng said solemnly.

"Humph." Cao Shaoqin snorted coldly, looked at Bi Yusheng unkindly, and said disdainfully: "Bi Chenshi is really good at protecting himself. If that's the case, why is he still a factory guard?"

"Deputy Governor Cao is wrong. This is not about protecting yourself, but for the sake of the overall situation. We cannot act recklessly." Bi Yusheng said without giving in.

"No matter how you argue, the East Factory will definitely report you to the authorities later." Cao Shaoqin said coldly.

"I have a clear conscience." Biyusheng said frankly.

The two of them had a quarrel with each other, but both Zhu Ye and generals such as Yue Fei turned a blind eye to it.

The Censors and Guards have always been referred to collectively by the people of the Ming Dynasty, as if they were a group.

But those who knew about it knew that the Jinyiwei and Dongchang within the imperial guards were in real opposition and had fought openly and secretly countless times.

It's just that it has always been controlled to a certain extent, leaning towards the positive side.

The remaining Western Factory is in an antagonistic relationship with the first two.

If the factory guards stop competing with each other, then there will be a problem.

As long as it doesn't get to the point where one person is killed and the situation is out of control, they won't care.

Of course, in today's Ming Dynasty, no one in the current imperial palace dares to cause trouble to that extent.

Due to the non-cooperation of the Jinyiwei, the matter could not be settled for the time being, and the factory guards quickly sent messages back to the Ming Dynasty to report the matter.

Military action will certainly not wait for the decision of the Censorate, and that method can be fully used after the army has swept through Japan first.

Yue Fei's troops moved swiftly and began to capture Japan's Honshu Island and sweep away all those who disobeyed him according to his command.

Because most of the Japanese masters at the innate realm have been captured in one fell swoop, the army can be less vigilant when moving in a large force, and dividing the forces to act is the best option.

There is no need to worry that the small-scale army will be annihilated by the Japanese masters after the division.

As for those in the acquired realm, they are not taken seriously by the army at all.

Even if the three hundred Ming troops encountered four or five hundred Japanese acquired realms, they could defeat the enemy in a head-on confrontation.

Innate is indeed a qualitative change.

When Yue Fei sent out his troops, the four armies located on the other three islands and an army whose target was the thousands of small islands in Japan, also took action at the same time.

It swept across Japan like a gust of wind sweeping away fallen leaves.

Wherever they passed, Japan had almost no resistance.

If someone looked from high above, they would find that Japan was being annexed by the Ming army and the Ming flag was hoisted at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The Ming army's actions were extremely smooth. Guo Bujing and Cao Zhengchun in the capital also received reports from Cao Shaoqin and Biyusheng.

Just like Cao Shaoqin, Cao Zhengchun's eyes lit up and he immediately went to find Guo Bujing.

"Commander Guo, Juexin is truly a talent. How about my East Factory accepting him?" Cao Zhengchun said with a smile.

"If he behaves well next time and submits to the Ming Dynasty, I certainly have no objection." Guo Bujing said calmly.

"Okay, then let them infiltrate Japan and call on those Japanese who dare to resist and catch them all in one fell swoop. Commander Guo should not refuse the plan." Cao Zhengchun smiled even more.

"Lord Cao, if the Japanese people stand up to resist, of course they will all be killed.

But if we actively tempt them to stand up and resist, it would be unworthy of the Ming Dynasty." Guo Bujing said calmly.

Cao Zhengchun's smile suddenly disappeared, and it was as fast as changing his face. "What is temptation? If those Japanese people had no rebellious heart in their hearts and honestly submitted to my Ming Dynasty, wouldn't it be fine?"

"People tend to follow the crowd. Originally, among a hundred Japanese, only one wanted to resist, but after being instigated and induced, ten or twenty Japanese would blindly stand up and resist.

This is not good." Guo Bujing shook his head.

"What's wrong with that? They're just a bunch of foreigners. They deserve to die.

If we don't kill more of these foreigners and terrify them completely, how can they submit to the Ming Dynasty from generation to generation?" Cao Zhengchun said disdainfully.

“Killing them is not a big deal.

But first, it would be detrimental to the reputation of our Ming Dynasty, and our Ming Dynasty is not just targeting Japan.

Second, if the Ming Dynasty occupies Japan, there must be gains. We need enough Japanese people to farm the land and replenish food for the Ming Dynasty.

If too many people die and the chaos lasts too long, the benefits to the Ming Dynasty will be reduced." Guo Bujing said seriously.

"They are all excuses. In our opinion, Commander Guo is too soft-hearted. His Majesty said with his own mouth that he wants to kill all the Japanese so that no one dares to resist." Cao Zhengchun raised his voice.

"Your Majesty has said so, but killing should be done in an upright manner.

Your Majesty also did not allow us to use such means to tarnish the reputation of our Ming Dynasty." Guo Bujing did not give in.

"How could it tarnish the reputation of the Ming Dynasty? As long as we do things cleanly, there won't be any gossip." Cao Zhengchun argued.

"The truth cannot be hidden." Guo Bujing shook his head.

"Nonsense! As factory guards, we should do everything for His Majesty and the Ming Dynasty.

Even if there are some gossips, they are directed at our factory guards, who don't care about them at all." Cao Zhengchun's voice became increasingly shrill, staring at Guo Bujing.

"How can I not care? The Imperial Guard is an upright department of the Ming Dynasty.

And precisely because the Jinyiwei holds certain privileges, they should act more uprightly.

Today, the Jinyiwei can fish for Japanese people.

One day, the Jinyiwei will be able to fish for their own people, which will cause endless troubles and must not be done. "Guo Bujing said righteously.

The last sentence also completely expressed his biggest concern.

Many things, once started, are difficult to stop.

Especially privileged departments like the Jinyiwei, which are now luring Japanese people.

In the future, there will definitely be Jinyiwei who will not be able to resist temptation and lure officials, martial artists, etc.

Unhealthy tendencies are corrupted little by little.

As for the East Factory, he can't and won't control it.

"Guo Bujing, do you really think the Jinyiwei are upright?

By doing this, we can kill all the Japanese who still have some dignity left in them, and make them complete slaves of our Ming Dynasty.

If you don't do it, you are dereliction of duty, and you will cause the entire Jinyiwei to dereliction of duty." Cao Zhengchun was furious and said angrily without any politeness.

"Okay, I am the commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard. Lord Governor Cao, please do as you please." Guo Bujing said with a calm face but in a very forceful manner.

"You!" Cao Zhengchun pointed angrily, "You will regret it."

Leave with a puff of sleeves.

"boom!"

The door slammed as if it was screaming.

"This Governor Cao is so angry, it seems that he is really angry." Two breaths later, Zhang Fengfu walked in from outside, looked at the door, shook his head and smiled: "The door is broken."

"Really? Then deduct it from the next dividend distribution of the East Factory." Guo Bujing said calmly and seriously.

"Heh." Zhang Fengfu smiled knowingly and nodded.

After sitting down, he said with a serious look: "We Jinyiwei cannot do this, otherwise it will set a bad example and bring bad reputation to Ming Dynasty.

But I'm afraid Cao Zhengchun won't let it go. Will he report this to His Majesty?"

"He will certainly not give up, but he will not report it to Your Majesty." Guo Bujing said calmly and firmly without changing his expression.

"Oh? Why?" Zhang Fengfu pondered.

"Given your Majesty's temperament, if you knew about this, would you agree?" Guo Bujing looked at Zhang Fengfu and said.

Zhang Fengfu frowned, thought seriously, and said uncertainly: "Your Majesty's temperament does not like such despicable and dirty means.

But your majesty has always put the interests of the Ming Dynasty first, and this is how we treat foreigners. Plus, considering what Cao Zhengchun said, your majesty may not disagree."

“Yeah, I may not agree.

The problem lies in the word "not necessarily".

Guo Bujing's eyes were slightly dimmed, and his calm voice only spread around the two of them: "It may not be the case. Cao Zhengchun is very likely not to gamble.

Moreover, this matter may make Your Majesty hesitate and feel embarrassed.

Cao Zhengchun would not even present the embarrassing matter to His Majesty."

“If he doesn’t present it to His Majesty and our Imperial Guards disagree, how can he not give up?

Could he have other ways to change your mind?" Zhang Fengfu asked thoughtfully.

“Heh.” Guo Bujing chuckled softly and said meaningfully, “Why would he need to change my mind?

Think about it, he will always find a way."

Zhang Fengfu frowned in thought. After all, he had been the commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, and suddenly he reacted.

"Will he quietly release Juexin and kill him first and report later?"

After saying that, Zhang Fengfu nodded and said with certainty: "Yes, secretly release Juexin, as long as there is no open promise, let Juexin do it himself.

If this matter is handled well, it will have nothing to do with our Ming Dynasty, and the effect may be better.

By then, the matter will be concluded successfully, and with your majesty's trust in Governor Cao, he will have accomplished a great feat."

The next moment, he looked at Guo Bujing with a strange look.

It’s cloudy!

This thought came to my mind instantly, and the upright Guo Juxia of that year was still Guo Juxia.

But it has become different.

What's more, he is more cunning.

This is good, very good.

He didn't say anything else, just smiled. He was very confident in Guo Bujing's handling of the matter afterwards.

Guo Bujing did the same, and the two of them smiled knowingly.

Soon, an order flew from the Jinyiwei headquarters to Honshu Island in Japan and was received by Biyusheng.

After receiving the order, Bi Yusheng pondered for a while, then smiled knowingly and immediately shattered the order.

Act like nothing happened.

Back to the East Factory headquarters, when Cao Zhengchun left angrily, Cao Zhengchun returned angrily and was angry for a while, and then again.

After thinking for a long time, he called a few confidants to discuss it and smiled proudly.

'Guo Bujing, oh Guo Bujing, do you think that if you, the Jinyiwei, don't agree, my Dongchang will have no way to do anything?
See how I can accomplish great feats this time and bring shame to your Imperial Guards.'

"Immediately send the plan to Cao Shaoqin and ask him to operate with caution. If our East Factory can achieve great success this time, his chances of making further progress will be much greater." Cao Zhengchun said confidently.

"Yes."

Cao Shaoqin, who received the order a few hours later than Biyusheng, suddenly lit up when he saw the plan in his hand.

After pondering for a moment and laughing a few times, he immediately took action.

That night.

Cao Shaoqin came to the army alone and imprisoned Juexin in the tent.

"Are you Juexin?" Cao Shaoqin looked down at the young man coldly and arrogantly, and waved his hand to block the sound from being heard.

"Who is it, sir?" Juexin bowed and asked carefully.

"Deputy Supervisor of the East Factory, Cao Shaoqin."

"It turns out to be Governor Cao. I'm Juexin, your humble servant, here to pay my respects to you, Governor." Juexin's eyes lit up, and he knelt down without hesitation and said respectfully.

"Yeah." Cao Shaoqin didn't let him get up, and said casually and proudly: "I heard that you came up with a plan."

"Yes, Lord Governor, I have a plan." Juexin nodded heavily, as if he had grasped a glimmer of hope, and said respectfully: "I admire the Ming Dynasty the most, and my lifelong wish is to join the Ming Dynasty.

Now, I finally have the opportunity, so I am willing to serve the Ming Dynasty until my death.

Japan is absolutely unable to stop the Ming Dynasty's army now, but there must be many people who are secretly harboring evil intentions.

I am willing to infiltrate there. With my remaining strength in the innate realm and my identity as the son of the absolute god, I will surely become the leader of those with evil intentions.

It can also identify all those who are dissatisfied with the Ming Dynasty.

By then, the Ming Dynasty will be able to catch all these people in one fell swoop."
