Zhao Shan looked at Abe Nakahara, who was on the verge of collapse, with a smile on his face. Abe Nakahara was in such a state that he needed. If he didn't deal with Abe Nakahara, how could he take advantage of him?
However, with Abe Nakahara's psychological quality, he still wants to devour Dagan and tear off a piece of meat from Dagan's body. It is simply wishful thinking.
Zhao Shan said in a deep voice: "Tell me, how do you want to serve me?"
Abe Zhongyuan instantly saw hope and said quickly: "Your Majesty, the Japanese country has the audacity to spy on the Celestial Dynasty, and its crime should be punished. I am willing to lead the way and enter the Japanese country with the soldiers and horses of the Daqian Celestial Dynasty to destroy the unsubordinates."
Zhao Shan praised Abe Nakahara as a filial son.
Sure enough, it was a great filial piety.
Until now, Abe Zhongyuan has shown that he has given up, but he has not given up yet. He even encouraged Zhao Shan to send troops to Abe Yunxiao.
If Abe Yunxiao is gone, wouldn’t it be Abe Nakahara who becomes emperor?
This is Abe Nakahara’s plan.
Abe Nakahara, a weak and useless person, has no use value for Zhao Shan. An ambitious man who coveted the position of Emperor of Japan would be beneficial to Zhao Shan.
Only when you are ambitious can you be exploited.
If Abe Nakahara is a happy-go-lucky person here, with no desires and desires, and just wants to drink and sleep with women, it will be difficult to take advantage of him.
Zhao Shan said in a deep voice: "When you say you are not a minister, you mean that you have destroyed Abe Yunxiao. After you take charge of the Japanese country, do you want to surrender to Daqian and become a vassal of Daqian?"
Abe Nakahara quickly said: "Reporting to Your Majesty, I have always believed that Japan is a vassal state of the Central Plains. The development of Japan to its present state is entirely due to Abe Yunxiao's arbitrary actions, and it is all his responsibility."
Zhao Shan continued: "You want to betray Abe Yunxiao and even your own father. Can I trust you? What if I support you to become the emperor of Japan and you are going to attack me in the blink of an eye?"
"Impossible, absolutely impossible!"
Abe Zhongyuan fell on the ground and kowtowed: "Your Majesty, I am not as ambitious as Abe Yunxiao, and I don't have any big ambitions. I just want to be a local emperor in the Japanese country. It is enough for me to become a vassal of Daqian."
Zhao Shan sneered in his heart.
The Japanese have always been duplicitous and untrustworthy.
When he was down and out, he could humbly prostrate himself on the ground and lick the soles of his shoes. Once it rises, it will be a mountain wolf in the sub-lineage and will grin at you.
The Japanese should be completely wiped out.
It's just that it takes a lot of time and energy to destroy the Japanese country and make it a part of Daqian, and it also requires further stabilization of Daqian. Otherwise, it would still be difficult for Daqian to fight across the sea.
This requires long-term planning.
Zhao Shan did not reveal what he was thinking, and said: "Abe Zhongyuan, I am very pleased that you are loyal to Daqian. Now, you stay in Daqian honestly, and I will make arrangements for you after I finish handling the affairs in Yangzhou. thing."
"I accept your order!"
Abe Nakahara immediately agreed.
He was filled with joy.
Taking him in, Zhao Shan can change his current predicament on the one hand, so that he will not be treated harshly everywhere, without enough food, clothing or warmth to sleep well, and he will be beaten and scolded at every turn. On the other hand, in the future, Zhao Shan will attack Japan and he will take the opportunity to overthrow his father, Abe Yunxiao.
He came to be the emperor of Japan.
When the time comes, he will first bow down to Zhao Shan and serve Zhao Shan well.
Wait until something changes in the Central Plains, or something goes wrong with Zhao Shan, and then wait for an opportunity to take revenge.
Zhao Shan ordered people to take Abe Zhongyuan down, and slightly changed the treatment. Abe Zhongyuan was no longer tied up, and he was also given basic food and a separate tent.
After Abe left Zhongyuan, Zhao Shan thought about Abe Yunxiao.
Does Abe Yunxiao dare to come?
If the Japanese emperor Abe Yunxiao wants to lead his troops to kill, Zhao Shan happens to fight on his own. If he captures Abe Yunxiao in one battle, he can directly capture the Japanese country. If Abe Yunxiao doesn't care for the time being, Zhao Shan doesn't care for the time being.
After the internal troubles are resolved, we can then clean up this small country like a vicious dog.
Before Zhao Shan could go to the backyard, another soldier reported: "Your Majesty, Lord Fang is back."
"Please!"
Zhao Shan gave an order.
The soldiers went to deliver the order. Not long after, Fang Weihu hurried in and saluted: "I, Fang Weihu, pay homage to your Majesty."
Zhao Shan smiled and said, "Thank you for your hard work, Fang Qing."
Fang Weihu was tired of work and had lost a lot of weight, but he was full of energy. He said humbly: "Your Majesty, thank you for your hard work."
Zhao Shan waved his hand for Fang Weihu to sit down and asked: "How is the place? How is the White Lotus Sect handling it?"
Fang Weihu said quickly: "Reporting to Your Majesty, Yuzhang County, Danyang County, Lujiang County and other places have all surrendered to the imperial court. I have dealt with the local officials who should be dismissed, dealt with and promoted."
"The governors of several counties have been replaced, and people who are suitable to serve as county governors have been supported."
"The local White Lotus Sect is further suppressing it and continuing to eliminate the remnants of the White Lotus Sect."
"There may be people in the local area who believe in the White Lotus Sect privately, and there may be some big families with their own agendas, but on the surface they have all surrendered to the imperial court and become part of the imperial court."
Fang Weihu said: "In general, there is no problem. Although there are Kuaiji County and slightly more remote mountainous areas in the south, if the general direction is sorted out, subsequent management will not be difficult."
Zhao Shan has always recognized Fang Weihu's ability.
When Fang Weihu comes back, things will be easier to handle.
Zhao Shan talked about the treatment of Zhao Gou, the arrangements for the Yangzhou big family, and the arrangements for the assessment and selection of big family members in three days, and finally talked about Abe Zhongyuan.
Fang Weihu thought quickly after listening.
After a long time, Fang Weihu praised: "Your Majesty executed Gu Xianxiong to seize the Gu family, and forced each family to donate land, money and food, weakening the Yangzhou big families, and finally gave the Yangzhou big families a chance, beating and pulling, Let them do things willingly.”
"This is the best arrangement."
"Your Majesty, Holy Might!"
"Your Majesty's arrangement is very reasonable. No matter what kind of big family it is, no matter what kind of humble family it is, as long as it is capable, Your Majesty can use it."
"Anyone who can help govern Daqian and anyone who can help Daqian expand its territory can be used."
Fang Weihu said: "As for Abe Zhongyuan, can we use the same method as Yao Qian to instigate rebellion? Let Abe Zhongyuan return to Japan and let him overthrow Abe Yunxiao."
Zhao Shan said: "No."
Fang Weihu asked: "Why?"
Zhao Shan said: "Securing the Central Plains is too useless, with high vision and low hand, and not enough influence. The most important point is that Japan is separated from us by the sea, unlike Xiliang and Daqian, which are adjacent to the mainland. We have penetrated through business early. We must use Abe Zhongyuan must at least wait until Daqian resolves its internal crisis before settling Abe Yunxiao's matter."
Fang Weihu thought about it and said, "I didn't think carefully."
The two chatted and talked about local governance.
Fang Weihu has been away for a long time and encountered many things in the local area. Now he is reporting many news one by one. In the afternoon, Zhao Shan had dinner prepared and he and Fang Weihu ate together.
At this time, a soldier entered and reported: "Your Majesty, Wei Wan wants to see you."
Zhao Shan ordered: "Let him come in."
After the soldiers went to notify him, Wei Wan came back not long after.
Wei Wan solemnly said: "Your Majesty, everything in the Gu family has been accounted for. Whether it is the food hoarded, the money stored, or even the private land deeds, shops and residences, etc., all have been sealed. Without checking, you will not know. , I was shocked when I checked it, it was really shocking.”
Zhao Shan asked: "Tell me in detail."
Wei Wanhuan reported: "Currently, as many as 890,000 taels of gold have been found; as many as 8,660,000 taels of silver have been found, as well as countless precious jade articles."
"In addition to the more than 90,000 acres of fertile farmland found, there are also 368 shops, 198 residences, and grain that has not been counted yet."
"The Gu family's grain is no less than five million kilograms, and there are countless granaries piled up."
"This data will only be more, not less."
"The Gu family is indeed the largest family in Yangzhou, extremely rich."
"According to the conditions His Majesty gave Gu Xianxiong, even if the Gu family handed over most of the land and part of the money and food, the loss would be a drop in the bucket."
"It's a pity that Gu Xianxiong doesn't cherish it."
Wei Wan's eyes were filled with seriousness, and he gritted his teeth and said: "If we don't kill a big family like the Gu family that dominates the place, how can the people survive? How can the local area develop? If we don't kill, the people will not be angry. We should kill!"
Zhao Shan also looked shocked.
so much?
Get rich by plundering your property!
The golden belt of murder and arson is really unmistakable.
Zhao Shan ordered: "Wei Wan, the supplies of the Gu family, and the supplies of the Wu Prince's Palace are all sealed and packed in boxes and sent back to Luoyang. The food obtained so far will, on the one hand, supply the needs of the army. On the other hand, it will be sent according to the imperial court's strategy of establishing granaries. Into the granary.”
"I accept the decree!"
Wei Wan stopped respectfully.
"Don't be restrained. Come, sit down and eat together."
Zhao Shan greeted Wei Wan for dinner, chatted with Fang Weihu and Wei Wan, talked about military affairs and government affairs, and arranged for the two of them to keep an eye on the assessment in three days.
After dinner, Fang Weihu and Wei Wan left, and Zhao Shan went to Yu Qinghuan's yard.
Yu Qinghuan lives alone in a courtyard.
When Zhao Shan came to the door of the courtyard, he heard the cheerful and lively music of the piano. The sound of the piano is like flowing water, gurgling and flowing, as if it is mountain water, which calms people's hearts unconsciously.
Zhao Shan ordered the soldiers and maids to wait outside and strolled in. After walking a few steps, he saw Yu Qinghuan sitting in the pavilion in the yard playing the piano.
Yu Qinghuan wore a long white dress, simple and elegant.
She was dressed simply, had no exquisite hairpin, and did not have a graceful figure, but she had a touch of purity and concentration. The serious gesture of focusing on playing the piano makes people appreciate it unconsciously.
Zhao Shan kept listening without disturbing.
After a long while, the music ended,
Zhao Shan walked up and praised: "Good piano, good music, good sound."
As soon as Yu Qinghuan heard Zhao Shan's words, he quickly stood up and saluted: "I am Yu Qinghuan, and I pay my respects to Your Majesty."
