Murakami Takumi is very efficient and completed the statistical work in just half an hour.
Of course, the main reason was that Li Qing was in shock and no one dared to make any move.
In this battle, a total of forty-seven people were injured and twenty-six were killed. Taking into account the previous losses, there are still seventy-eight people who are capable of fighting again. If they rest for a few days, the fighting strength is expected to be over a hundred.
Four hundred and ninety-six enemies were killed, eighty-seven were injured, and the total number of prisoners was 426. Counting the number of previous prisoners, it was nearly 800.
Two hundred and seventy-eight samurai swords and thirty-eight sets of armor were seized. Thirty kilograms of gold and sixty kilograms of silver were found...
In addition to the gold that could not be transported away in the future, apart from the pension and rewards, there is still some remaining.
Li Qing was very generous. He fulfilled all his previous promises and gave part of the excess money to Saburo Inoue. After all, he had previously spent all his wealth to support him, and as his top general, he naturally had to be given preferential treatment.
At the same time, rewards were also given to Murakami Craftsman.
This person is indeed talented, especially when he enters the city next, this person will be of great use!
Li Qing only kept a small part, but it was enough to pay for the city.
After completing the rewards, Li Qing promoted the warriors again, and thirty of them were promoted to two levels in a row. Then, he began to recruit and expand his team.
Faced with Li Qing's recruitment, these prisoners naturally obeyed.
After this battle, they deeply realized the terror of this armed force, and they were engraved in their bones by Li Qing's terror.
As opponents, such a person makes them extremely frightened, but if such a person is their boss... then they are not allowed to be popular?
However, Li Qing's requirements were too strict. He only selected 80 people out of nearly 800 people to enter the warrior system as ninth-level warriors.
Compared with the direct samurai, they are two or three levels lower, but they have no complaints. They are very happy to join the "regular army".
In addition, Li Qing selected another 300 people for the reserve team and performed meritorious service before he could enter the warrior system.
This can be regarded as opening an upward channel for them!
In this regard, the direct samurai were not dissatisfied at all.
Firstly, their worst is two levels higher than the best newcomer, and there is no sense of crisis; secondly, with the addition of newcomers, they can not only strengthen their strength, but also bring out their sense of aloofness.
People's favorite comparison.
The direct line has a sense of superiority, because they have the highest rank, and the eighty new samurai also have a sense of superiority, because as prisoners of war, they are the only ones who have been promoted to samurai;
The Three Hundred Reserves also have a sense of superiority, because at least they have been incorporated and will not become miners.
As for the four hundred miners... I'm sorry, the weak don't have the right to choose.
dissatisfied?
Why don't you try again?
Forget it, it’s good to be alive!
However, the kind-hearted Li Qing still gave them hope of promotion: as long as they dance well, it is not impossible to be promoted to the reserve team.
Man, you have to give him some head start.
With Li Qing's arrangement, everyone has a goal to work towards, virtually eliminating potential risks.
Saburo Inoue was a rough man and could not see the deeper meaning, but Takumi Murakami was amazed and exclaimed in his heart: This time I met a great nobleman.
After a day's rest, Li Qing left the injured warrior to supervise the gold mining while taking care of his injuries. Then, he led a large army into the city.
The main reason why Li Qing was so anxious was that he was afraid of going up to the mountains and out of the city, and if news of his defeat spread, someone would get there first.
There were no obstacles in the process of entering the city. Li Qing took over the control of dozens of villages in the surrounding area very smoothly, and many people did not even realize that the owner had changed.
After entering the city, the usefulness of Murakami Takumi became apparent.
The population, taxation, wealthy households in the city... were quickly sorted out and sent to Li Qing.
These are all available wealth. Only with this can we truly separate one party. Otherwise, entering the city will become meaningless.
In addition to these, Li Qing also accepted the wealth accumulated in Shangshanye and officially became a powerful person, bidding farewell to his previous inferiority.
Li Qing returned to Inoue Saburo double the money he had spent before, and bypassed the Muromachi shogunate and the emperor and directly made him a general.
Saburo Inoue was moved to tears and wished he could shed his blood for Li Qing.
He never expected that the Great God would be so generous.
After taking down Saburo Inoue, Li Qing also awarded Murakami Takumi a reward. After learning about Japan's official positions, he made him the fourth highest rank - the Central Secretary.
Murakami Takumi was also grateful, but he was not as short-sighted as Inoue Saburo, because he knew that this was illegal. What made him happy was not the official position, but the attention of the great god.
He also knew that his future achievements would never stop there, so he advised:
"Master, it's better to use the term official position with caution. Although the emperor has long since stopped accepting practical matters, and the Muromachi shogunate is now in decline... But generally speaking, everyone still agrees. You are like this..."
"You're so hated, aren't you?" Li Qing spoke up for him.
Takumi Murakami nodded: "Master, we are not strong enough yet, so we should not be too showy."
Li Qing smiled slightly and said: "If we were cautious in everything, how could we be where we are today?
Without the firm belief to overcome the superior, our team cannot go far, and I am not worthy of being called a master! "
Murakami Takumi perked up, bowed and said, "You know you're wrong, this villain." gōΠb.ōγg
"Well..." Li Qing pondered for a moment and said: "We have established a foothold in the city. It is time for people to know that the owner of this place has changed. I will leave this matter to you. Go ahead."
"Yes!" Murakami Takumi bowed and said yes.
"Wait a moment."
"Does the Great God have any other instructions?"
"Bring your uncle here and expand the scale of the blacksmith shop as soon as possible!" Li Qing said, "We are at the time of development and growth. We cannot save the money we should spend. Just ask me to reimburse the expenses."
"Young man understands." Murakami Takumi bowed and turned to do the work.
…
Everyone is good at different things. Inoue Saburo is brave but straightforward. Although Murakami Takumi has no ability to tie a chicken, he is very good at internal affairs.
Soon, the blacksmith shop moved into the city, and with Li Qing's support, while weapons casting began, armor was also put on the agenda.
With the wealth accumulated in the mountains and fields, a small gold mine, two small silver mines, and blood transfusions in dozens of villages, supporting an armed force of 500 people, it is not too rich.
Of course, the main reason is that Li Qing doesn't like money. He doesn't amass money, and he doesn't indulge in money. He spends all his money wisely.
Saburo Inoue was not idle either, training as a samurai all day long to prepare for the next battle.
Takumi Murakami even launched a publicity campaign. Under his promotion, the 'Great Kamikaze' soon swept through dozens of villages within his sphere of influence.
Even, this divine wind has blown to other guardian generations...
~
Ming Dynasty, capital.
The wind also blew during this time, but it was not a divine wind, but... a demonic wind.
Qianqing Palace.
Zhu Jian rubbed his eyebrows deeply and said helplessly: "Haven't you found out yet?"
"There has been some progress." Wang Zhi said respectfully, "The so-called fox demon comes out at night to hurt people, but there is no real evidence. The people are just following what others say. The source of the spread has been found. According to torture, this person was bewitched by a demon and deliberately spread demonic rumors. Everyone..."
Seeing the impatience on the emperor's face, Wang Zhi quickly said concisely and sarcastically: "That man was deeply bewitched and used all the tortures he could, but he refused to admit his identity as a demon. Now... he can't die after being tortured." .”
"waste!"
"Your Majesty, please calm down and allow me to investigate again." Wang Zhi assured me, "Within ten days, I will definitely uncover the evil ways."
Zhu Jian took a deep breath and said, "Okay, I'll give you another ten days."
"Yes, I will leave this servant." Wang Zhi saluted and exited the hall.
Zhu Jianshen was still angry: "You bastard! When I catch you, I will cut you into pieces!!"
Logically speaking, the king of a country should not have trouble with a demon, but this demonic trend has already caused an uproar in the capital, and even the palace has been affected.
This kind of influence is extremely intolerable to the emperor who is appointed by heaven!
Zhu Jianshen felt sulky for a while, got up and went to Yongning Palace...
When he arrived at Yongning Palace, he happened to see Zhen'er burning incense and worshiping Buddha. He got angry and wanted to smash the Buddha statue.
Zhen'er hurriedly hugged him and explained: "Your Majesty, please calm down. I am not worshiping Buddha because of the fox demon. I believe in Buddhism in the first place!"
Hearing this, Zhu Jianshen's face looked better and he cursed:
"Is it useful to worship it? Is it useful to me?"
Zhen'er said angrily: "If you are sincere, you will be wise."
"You say it again?"
"No more, no more." Zhen'er hurriedly surrendered. She couldn't afford to offend this little ancestor, and said with a smile: "Why should the emperor be angry? It is not a bad thing for the people to have faith."
Zhu Jianshen hummed and said, "What do you know? Everything has its own purpose. The devil deliberately spreads rumors in the capital and makes people panic. What is the purpose?"
Zhen'er was startled for a moment, "Making friends with powerful people?"
"There are powerful people in the local area. It's easier to make money and the risk is smaller. Why come to the capital?" Zhu Jianshen asked.
Zhen'er's face changed, and she said in shock: "Could it be that... that demon has a treasonous intention?"
"..." Zhu Jianshen was speechless: "What I mean is... I'm afraid there is someone behind this."
"This... Your Majesty, are you too sensitive?"
Zhu Jianshen sighed deeply: "Since the elimination of redundant personnel, the relationship between monarch and ministers has been completely at loggerheads. This time they have been really shaken up... Alas, I hope I am too worried."
But Zhen'er became nervous and said: "Your Majesty, it is better not to go out recently. We will wait until this evil wind passes."
As soon as the words came out, she immediately realized something was wrong. How could the emperor be frightened?
She quickly changed her words: "Concubine Chen is about to give birth. I heard from the imperial doctor that she is most likely to be a dragon. The emperor should spend more time with her."
Concubine Chen was unlucky enough. At the beginning of the next month after the crown prince was crowned, she was diagnosed with pregnancy.
If this news could have been revealed a month in advance, the emperor might not have taken back the illegitimate son and made him a prince.
At least, that's what Concubine Chen thinks.
For this reason, she was extremely depressed and depressed all day long.
When he heard that his son was about to be born, Zhu Jianshen's face softened greatly, and his eyes were filled with joy. This meant that there was nothing wrong with him. He was just unlucky before, and as long as he worked hard, he would have many heirs in the future.
He chuckled: "Haha... Concubine Chen is quite impressive."
