I am the savior, do you have any objection?

Finally, Genichirō bowed deeply to Kerry.

"In that case, the future of Ashina will be in your hands."

As he said this, Genichirō half-knelt down.

The warriors from Ashina Castle around him also half-knelt facing Kerry and his party.

"No problem." Kerry waved his hand with an eager gleam in his eyes.

But behind him, everyone except the few he brought with him and the Hanbei bowed to those people in return.

In the end, it was the wine brewed by old man Yixin. Chris hung the wine gourd around his waist and waved his hand.

"Let's go!"

Chapter 151: The Port of Congratulations from All Nations

After walking for dozens of days to arrive at Haikou, Kerry stunned all the imperial troops with a mental shock.

Because you need to take a boat to get from Honshu Island to Hokkaido, fortunately Ashina is not too far from the sea.

However, in Japan, it is difficult to find a place far away from the sea.

The group of people following Kerry were horrified when they saw the group of people suddenly falling to the ground from afar.

Even for the people Kerry brought from there, it was the first time they saw Kerry use his abilities in this way.

Kerry waved to the people behind him.

"Don't worry, I'll go see if they are really unconscious and still pretending to be dead."

The iron ship was originally carrying supplies, mainly salt and coins.

I guess the higher-ups thought that the cost of transporting food directly was too high, so they shipped some general cargo to exchange for food from fellow villagers in Hokkaido.

But it is obvious that the general who formulated this plan thought too much and could have simply bought Tutu from his fellow villager for free.

By the way, there is a minority in Japan, that is the Ainu people living in Hokkaido. I wonder if the Ashina people have their bloodline.

But what's more humorous is that because others are the natives and the Japanese are invaders, Japan did not recognize the existence of this nation and that they are natives until 19 years ago, because according to the United Nations' rules, once a place is occupied for 100 years, it becomes its own territory.

If Japan had recognized the other party as indigenous people before, Hokkaido and the surrounding islands might not have belonged to Japan.

The Indians called him an amateur.

At this time, Kerry came to the middle of the red-armored inner court soldiers who were lying on the ground, thought for a few seconds, and then spoke loudly.

"Because the pot was seized by the enemy, we used the servant's battle hat as a pot last night. But because we had no food, we had to use the servant as food as well! Unexpectedly, the next day, the servant who didn't finish eating had his pot snatched away by the enemy."

Kerry tentatively told jokes that were appropriate for the times.

The scene was silent. To be on the safe side, Kerry spoke again.

"Last time when I went back home, a civilian didn't want to give me his wife, so I used him to test my sword in the name of insulting a samurai. Then I heard that guy had several brothers in the army, so just in case, I used his mother, nephews and nieces to test their swords overnight, ahahahaha!"

After Kerry finished speaking, he couldn't help but burst out laughing.

"That's enough! You have the face to die, not the shame to live. I won't allow you to insult our inner court!"

A warrior on the ground, whose armor style was obviously different from those of the people around him, stood up with his head covered, his face full of anger as if he had been insulted.

"But I didn't say it was your inner court." Kerry said innocently.

"Baga! I know what the inner court is like better than you!" The warrior became even angrier.

Then he fell to the ground and the samurai sword in his companion's hand suddenly flew out of the scabbard automatically and pierced his chest.

"The people in this world are really troublesome. The gap between the upper and lower limits is quite large. If you use a force that can stun ordinary people, there will be a few who are not stunned. But if you increase the force, many of them will be killed directly.

Oh, I forgot, actually, it is a good death for the samurai of this era."

As Kerry spoke, he called on the envoys hiding not far away to come up and collect the spoils.

A few hours later, with the Immortal Sword hanging from his waist, Kerry put one foot on the bow of a large ship and looked out, looking like he was going to become the Pirate King.

Yongzhen grabbed the railing with both hands and reminded Kerry reluctantly.

"Sir, please be careful. There are many sea monsters in the sea..."

"It's indeed a lot. I'm looking for dinner for tonight." Kerry replied to Yongzhen, and jumped into the sea amid Yongzhen's exclamation.

Soon, a strange-looking half-octopus, half-sea lion monster emerged from the sea.

Kerry grabbed the monster, lasers flashed in his eyes, and soon the thing became motionless.

Kerry also put down some pearl corals that he had salvaged from the seabed, along with the monster's two strange-shaped fangs.

He went back into the sea and dragged the monster's body onto the boat.

"When we get to the sea where there are whales, I'll collect some whale baleen and the tribute will be complete. I've already told Genichirō that no one likes his stuff, so why do you insist on using dried meat as a tribute?"

While complaining, Kerry walked to the cabin and picked up a piece of dried meat that Genichirō said he wanted to present as a tribute to the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty.

"Before you eat this thing, try to test the poison on the zombies over there."

But it was obvious that no one could respond to him now, so Kerry continued to control the boat forward.

That’s right, the main reason why Kerry was looking for an iron boat was that he could control this type of boat directly with his superpowers and did not need any sailors at all.

As for why no one replied to him, the situation was also obvious.

The people of Ashina are all inland people, just like the Mongolian navy, they may not see the sea in their lifetime.

Not to mention taking a boat on the sea, and the boat is a thing like this that is sailing at a very fast speed under Kerry's control.

At this moment, even the experts brought by Kerry were leaning on the edge of the boat and vomiting.

The three zombies they brought with them wanted to jump off the ship to commit suicide because they could not bear the torture of sailing on the sea.

Anyway, there is plenty of fresh water and supplies. At this speed, it will only take a few days for the ship to arrive with daytime sailing and nighttime rest. Kerry is not worried about these people vomiting and dehydration.

Their target this time was Yuegang in Fuzhou, which was considered the hottest trading port in the Ming Dynasty at that time. It also traded with nearly 50 countries including Japan, Cambodia, Thailand, and the Philippines.

Moreover, because Japanese pirates have harassed many ports in recent years, many other ports have been closed, so if you want to go now, you can only go there.

...

In the evening, Kerry and his crew stopped sailing and were having dinner.

Yongzhen and several nobles gathered together with Kerry, and several people from the other world gathered together. The remaining servants had to wait until their masters finished eating before they could eat.

After a day's sailing, everyone was dizzy.

In addition, in medieval Japan, people really didn't talk while eating, so the atmosphere was unusually quiet. Only Kerry, who had eaten beforehand, and Yongzhen, who really had no appetite, were talking in low voices.

“Sir Nayan, there are some things I’m not sure whether I should say or not.” Yongzhen’s words were a little reserved.

"You say." Kerry didn't care.

After hearing Kerry nod, Yongzhen looked around and pulled Kerry to a corner.

"Krinayan, although I don't know where you come from, I do know your determination and method to save Ashina. But..." Yongzhen paused here, and then spoke again.

"Just like those people in Ashina who were seeking immortality, their minds were eroded, their bodies suffered pain, and even worms appeared in their bodies, but they still wanted to continue living. I think this is wrong.

A life that continues in a deformed way is only a longer suffering, and the same goes for the country.

If we give the power of immortality to other great powers, it will only harm other countries. Instead of doing that, it is better to..."

Yongzhen spoke very tactfully, as if he was afraid that Kerry would be angry.

But what she didn't expect was that Kerry was not angry at all. Instead, he looked at her as if she was a tool.

"Yes, yes, yes! I think so too, but I think the same is true for all of humanity. Rather than letting most people live in pain, it would be better to kill them all.

Don't ask if the world has a future, but how many people are suffering endlessly. Come here, I have some books. If you learn well, I will make you the governor of District 11 in the future. "

Yongzhen: “Ah?”

Yongzhen felt a headache when he saw Kerry taking out a pile of red books from somewhere.

A few days later, a prosperous scenery could be seen beyond the horizon, and fleets from various countries were coming and going, and were about to reach the land of the Ming Dynasty.

Chapter 152: Feudalism I will kill you too

Arrived at the Ming Dynasty, the most powerful country in the 15th century! What? It's already the 16th century! Let's just look at Emperor Wanli in the distance, folks.

"Let's take a look at our home first!"

At the port of Yuegang, a sharp voice sounded.

Kerry handed the other party a document.

"Now you know why I said this is the worst time." Kerry handed over the documents and spoke to the system in his mind.

[This... is it really medieval? ] The system responded quietly.

At this moment, in front of Kerry, a eunuch in official uniform was pretending to read a document that he could not understand at all.

It is not accurate to say that he was a eunuch. It should be said that he was a tax inspector.

There are many reasons why this thing came about.

As mentioned earlier, Kerry used his mental power to scan the West and discovered that the current year was Wanli.

The most famous thing Wanli did was probably fighting with the civil service group over the issue of the crown prince. He was so unhappy with the fight that he did not attend court for thirty years.

What’s even worse than the reign title being Wanli is that Zhang Juzheng is no longer around.

Although the Ming Dynasty's Wude was still prosperous at this time.

Against the invading Japanese, there was General Qi, and against Mongolia, there was Li Rusong, the son of Li Chengliang. A few years ago, Li Rusong was appointed as the admiral to help Korea fight Toyotomi Hideyoshi.

Many people may not know Li Chengliang, but Kerry mentioned him when he was reciting the summoning words of Old Xitou.

The best thing he did in his life was not defending Liaodong. The worst thing he did was to borrow the heads of his fellow villagers and dig up their ancestral graves in order to pay the military pay to defend Liaodong and enjoy himself, and then dress up the villagers' heads to look like Jurchens in order to collect funds.

Moreover, in each battle, the number of kills of the fellow villagers is higher than that of the opponents.

Of course, in addition to killing innocent people for credit, he also did the second bad thing in his life. In order to have a comfortable life in his later years, he adopted a son and at the same time kept an enemy to protect himself. That adopted son was named Nurhaci.

From Old Li’s life experience, it is not difficult to see what the Wanli period was like after Zhang Juzheng left.

Although Wanli himself might not be able to defeat the censors and the civil service group, he was still in power.

Although he was not as obsessed with cultivating immortals as Jiajing, he was also extravagant and wasteful. He spent hundreds of thousands of silver coins to help his favorite concubine, Concubine Zheng, give birth to a daughter.

It is said that at the beginning he wanted to make Concubine Zheng's child the prince, and even made a shocking plan to not establish the Crown Prince first but to make the three heirs kings. Fortunately, he was persuaded by the cabinet at that time, otherwise Zhang Juzheng's actions would have been in vain.

But it was because of his extravagance and waste that Wanli ran out of rice, and with no rice he could only find ways to steal other people's gold coins.

Mine inspectors and tax inspectors came into being, and due to various reasons, the industrial revolution that was about to begin was stillborn.

Just like the description of the Tang Dynasty in "The Old Man Selling Charcoal", the emperor sent eunuchs to plunder the treasury, and saw an old man selling charcoal with black fingers and white hair. They signed the documents and directly took away a cart of charcoal, and used a piece of red cloth that came from nowhere as payment for the charcoal.

We can't say that what the tax inspectors do are exactly the same as those eunuchs in the Tang Dynasty, but we can say that they are even worse.

More checkpoints were set up outside the original checkpoints to collect taxes, and all these taxes had to be paid into the Taicang and the Guanglu Temple for the emperor's use, so it was impossible for ordinary people not to pay.

There are also records that mine supervisors would basically bring a group of vassals with them to assist in collecting taxes. Those vassals would then rob in the streets, break into other people's homes and rape their wives and daughters, and they were proficient in all kinds of miscellaneous goods.

Then, Yuegang, as a customs office, was naturally the main target of exploitation by these eunuchs.

The father-in-law standing in front of Kerry now is such a father-in-law.

I looked at the document in my hand which was written entirely in Japanese, a word I couldn't understand.

I can't understand Japanese!

The eunuch stuffed the money back into Kerry's hands very roughly.

"In other words, the fleet you are waiting for is from Japan? Is it for merchants?"

Because the other people on the ship did not have the ability to speak Ming Dynasty Mandarin, Kerry was the only one who could communicate.

"No, I am a monk from my country. Many years ago, I wanted to find a way to immortality for Your Majesty. Now I have found this method in the country of Ashina, and I have been appointed as the prime minister in Ashina. Therefore, I brought the elixir back and wanted to present it to Your Majesty."

After hearing what Kerry said, the eunuch in front of him thought for a moment and raised his head.

"Do you have any evidence? There are at least eight hundred people who say the same thing every year. If we let you get away with it, our family will have no explanation."

Kerry waved his hand, and an Ashina civil servant came forward holding a zombie with its mouth stuffed.

With a cut from the knife, the zombie struggled violently and blood splattered everywhere.

The eunuch was shocked when he saw the knife, but when he looked closely, he found that the wound was healing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

At this moment, the eunuch's face changed and his eyes changed continuously.
