After Zhang Bao's questioning, he found out that these Japanese people were really generous this time.
The ships they gathered here now were only about half of them.
Before that, some ships had already returned to the Japanese country.
These people are also the last.
Except for some people who were missing before, these people are all here. Some of the people who were missing before were lost during the search ashore.
Some were swallowed up by the wind and waves, and these people are missing.
"In this way, these Japanese will be left to you to deal with."
"After processing, we will continue to search along the coast. Every village must be searched to ensure that nothing escapes the net."
"Kill all the Japanese found!"
Zhang Bao said to Zhang Hongtao.
Zhang Hongtao was overjoyed, and he naturally understood what Zhang Bao meant.
Leave it to him, and he can kill these Japanese in front of the people of Huizhou.
After getting rid of him, I believe that the people of Huizhou who were very complaining and dissatisfied with me before will be able to forgive themselves some.
The reason why Zhang Bao now handles all these matters in this process is to be finished by himself.
It’s just to help establish your prestige.
It is to help yourself regain the lost deterrence.
Zhang Hongtao was very impressed with Zhang Bao.
before.
Zhang Hongtao actually didn't have much feelings for Zhang Bao.
After all, when the two met before, it was to completely eliminate the Japanese in Huizhou.
Moreover, they secretly controlled and helped Zhang Bao and the others improve their operations in Dongzhou.
After that, Zhang Bao led his troops to attack Cao Kang from here.
Zhang Hongtao has no ambition to compete in the world, so naturally he doesn't have much feelings about the war between Zhang Bao and Cao Kang.
Whether it's Zhang Bao or Cao Kang.
Whichever of them becomes emperor will not change anything for Zhang Hongtao.
And he is now the state pastor of Huizhou.
It can be said that he has reached the pinnacle of power, and it is difficult for him to make any further progress.
In the past few years, Zhang Bao had risen rapidly, but he didn't understand the reason behind it.
But in his understanding, Fan Hanzhong took refuge in Zhang Bao for some unknown reason, and he must have played a very important role in Zhang Bao's development.
A general like Fan Hanzhong must be a great help no matter whose camp he joins.
Therefore, even if Zhang Bao captured the capital and defeated Cao Kang, he did not think Zhang Bao was that powerful.
But after all this turmoil has passed.
Zhang Hongtao also heard some things about Zhang Bao's previous stay in Hezhou.
Including how he went to Liaozhou to kill Zhu Yue, how he captured the Prefectural Mufu in Dongzhou, and gradually competed with Cao Kang.
At the beginning, his strength was still far inferior to Cao Kang's.
But it’s because we have deeper roots in Hezhou.
This allowed them to undergo great changes in the process.
Cao Kang was captured in one final move.
This time, something happened in Huizhou.
In fact, for Zhang Hongtao, when he went to ask Zhang Bao for help, on the one hand, he really wanted to use Zhang Bao's help to help him control the situation in Huizhou that was about to get out of control.
On the other hand, he also thought that if Zhang Bao himself could not deal with the Japanese in this process, then he would naturally not be qualified to make too many accusations against himself.
This is actually Zhang Hongtao’s purpose.
But I didn't expect it.
Zhang Bao was so neat and tidy that he dealt with the Japanese who came to Huizhou.
Moreover, they actually captured many Japanese alive, not to mention directly brought their ships.
Now, giving this credit back is equivalent to giving it to myself.
Zhang Hongtao suddenly felt that in this process, he was judging the heart of a gentleman with the heart of a villain.
He was so scheming against Zhang Bao, but Zhang Bao was so helpful to him during this process. It is quite rare for someone at this age to have such power and courage.
From this point of view, if Fan Hanzhong was able to get to Zhang Bao's side, it was not necessarily who was helping whom.
It is very possible that Fan Hanzhong was able to lead hundreds of thousands of troops to fight on the battlefield again because of Zhang Bao's credit.
"Yes, sir!"
"Thank you, sir!"
"Then in your opinion, can these people who migrated out be allowed to go back now?"
Zhang Hongtao asked tentatively.
"Now, it's not the time yet."
"You have to know that if the Japanese country is not destroyed, they may continue to make a comeback."
"For these Japanese people, we ordinary people cannot defend themselves at all, and Huizhou's long and narrow coastline also makes it impossible for us to defend ourselves."
"What if the Japanese come again in the future?"
"This kind of boundary and sea ban can only happen once. If it happens again, then see if the people of Huizhou don't kill you."
Zhang Bao said to Zhang Hongtao.
"That……"
"Your Majesty is right."
Zhang Hongtao sighed. He also knew that what Zhang Bao said was quite reasonable.
This process is very difficult.
"But you don't have to worry too much, come and see this thing."
Zhang Bao waved to Zhao Gao.
Zhao Gao asked several people to carry a huge thing in.
"What's this?"
Zhang Hongtao looked at the situation in front of him in shock.
The thing Zhang Bao asked to move out was a round yard-like thing made of mud. There were some sticks and other things around the yard.
"This thing is called a Uborg."
"The materials used are basically tree trunks, stones and soil. Even for an ordinary village, it won't be a big burden. It just requires manpower to do it."
"With this Uburg, all the villages can be turned into something like this. The villagers live in the Uburg. In this way, if the Japanese people rush in, they can be defended directly."
"With these Uburgs, even if the Japanese rush outside, there is no way to attack them."
"So, you first take people and build Wubao village by village, and then move the people in."
Zhang Bao was demonstrating and explaining to Zhang Hongtao.
This kind of Uburg had already been used by Zhang Bao and the others when they were in Hejian Village. Although the Uburg at that time was very simple, it was more than enough to resist ordinary bandits or officers and soldiers.
Even if there are no bows and arrows, even if ordinary people don't know martial arts.
But under the city wall of Wubao, even if you hit them with stones from a high position, you can resist these Japanese people.
To put it bluntly, even if they can't resist, it's not that easy for the Japanese to break in.
As long as every village on this coast exists in the form of a Uburg, at least there is no need to worry about these Japanese in the short term.
And when Zhang Bao and the others went to the Japanese country and eradicated the Japanese people, this threat would naturally be gone.
"Thank you for your advice, sir!"
"Now I know that you are young and talented, and it is your destiny to reach this stage."
"My subordinates were very disrespectful before. I hope you will forgive me."
After Zhang Hongtao heard Zhang Bao's Wu Bao, he was so impressed that he fell to the ground.
Zhang Bao not only helped him deal with all the hidden dangers in Huizhou, but also thought about how to deal with the Japanese in the future.
For Zhang Hongtao, he has now completely placed himself in the position of Zhang Bao's subordinate.
"grown ups!"
"Urgent news from Hezhou!"
Before Zhang Bao could say anything, a man hurried in.
