"The empty camp, no, no, no, it's not an empty camp, there are living people, the rebels of the original boat division..."
"Water is poured out, gunpowder is poured out, iron nails, broken knives, broken swords..."
"The thieves are coming, boom, crackle..."
"The thief is dead, torn apart, clatter..."
The whole thing was told by Zhang Kui, and the kings and ministers in the court were shocked when they heard it.
Even Da Lao Huang's eyes twitched. He really didn't expect Han You to be so "ruthless".
The camp was no longer needed, it was burned down, no, it was blown up, along with the Japanese thieves.
Many civil servants were frightened when they heard this.
Using living people as bait, they lured Japanese thieves into the camp and lit barrels of gunpowder and kerosene...
The civil servants thought about the scene at that time, and their backs were covered with cold sweat.
Zhang Kui was just a miscellaneous soldier. He was one of the miscellaneous soldiers. He usually didn't have the opportunity to show his face in front of Han You. He didn't know who made the plan. He just took it for granted that Han You arranged all this.
He just said what happened at that time, but the emperor and his ministers took it for granted.
After Zhang Kui finished speaking, many ministers were trembling in their hearts. They used to think that Han You was quite "cruel". His feelings were restricted in Beijing, so he went to the East China Sea and let himself go.
There was no way, or Tie Chen had said it was hurtful when he proposed it. Just using a living person as bait was enough to give Han You the reputation of being "bloodthirsty".
Lao Ba also realized this and spoke softly: "The matter has not yet been decided. That Zhang Kui is just a soldier who reports his merits. He is far away in the dark. Don't listen to his nonsense. I want to say, The Japanese thief must have seen the silence in the camp and wanted to attack at night, so he rushed in without thinking and fell into the trap. What do you think?"
The ministers nodded repeatedly, yes, yes, we thought so too.
Lao Ba's meaning is very clear. Military merit is military merit, just military merit. Rewards are based on merit. The process is not important, what is important is the victory. No one can mention Han You's use of living people as "bait" to the outside world. Everyone is proud of Han You. Confidentiality.
Everyone is used to it, just like when Han You hit the prince for nothing. Everyone knows it and keeps it a secret for Han You. Not to mention the ministers, the common people also know it, so this means that the whole country is keeping secret. Han You kept it secret.
Wen Chen couldn't come back to his senses. After all, this military achievement was so exciting. Literally, it was very exciting. Huang Youwei was already one step ahead. He turned around and glanced slightly, and then more than a dozen generals came out and started. Sing praises to Han You.
The old man on the throne was very satisfied. Since Huang Youwei became the Minister of the Ministry of War, he has become more and more fond of the Ministry of War. He habitually asks the Ministry of War about many people's livelihood matters.
Whether a government office can be reused and whether it has the right to speak, in addition to its own responsibilities, also depends on the speaker.
Da Lao Huang is not like Li Daozhi, who has a somewhat upright temperament. Since he has become the Minister of the Ministry of War, he will fight for power and gain for the Ministry of War and have more say.
Huang Youwei did a very good job at this point. On the premise of not violating the principles, he kept the same pace and must be consistent with the palace.
The military generals began to praise Han You, and the civil servants could not stand anymore. When they saw that the bosses from the three provinces were also extremely satisfied with this victory, they all jumped out.
Lao Ba also laughed, and Long felt very relieved.
"This battle showed the majesty of the country and the domineering power of the country. It was a good fight. Han You is worthy of the person I appointed to lead the army. Well done."
Lao Ba's smile faded and he said seriously: "We have given the Japanese thieves a head-on blow. The Japanese thieves will no longer invade the East China Sea territory in a short period of time. Next, hum..."
After humming twice, everyone knew that Lao Ba was referring to the boat master.
When Han You went to the East China Sea, he had to do three things: pacify the enemy, unite the boat divisions, and attack the Japanese bandits.
Now that the prestige of the Japanese thieves has been eliminated, and the Japanese thieves know the power of gunpowder, they will probably be able to frighten Yu Yunyao and his gang of rogues.
"Han You is a general and a handsome man."
Lao Ba rarely commented on Han You's military capabilities: "I told Han You at the beginning that it would be good to restore the East China Sea to a clear world within five years. Now, I am even more confident in Han You."
This time the ministers did not follow suit. Han You was fierce and ruthless, but Yu Yunyao was not a good man and a believer, and the East China Sea was his territory. If it was so easy to get rid of him and take over the boat division, why did the previous government have to delay it so much? For many years, I dragged it around and pretended it was invisible.
"Let's not mention this matter, just talk about the great victory. I believe it won't be long before Han You will send someone to send the merit list to the capital. At that time, the three departments of Bing, Li, and Li will draw up the merit awarding regulations. There must be no delay or neglect. "
The three government officials all responded in unison, and they didn't dare to trip up without Lao Ba's advice.
When the military merits were mentioned, the court was full of joy. Unexpectedly, at this moment, an official of Honglu Temple who was waiting outside the palace came in. As soon as he opened his mouth, the good mood of the emperor and his ministers disappeared instantly. The Ying envoy asked to see him.
"Yingshi?"
Lao Ba was confused and looked at Zhang Wending, the minister of Honglu Temple who had returned on behalf of the imperial court before he left.
"Why is it that Honglu Temple is not known to have an attendant?"
Zhang Wending left the mission and replied: "Honglu Temple is not aware of any envoys or envoys entering the capital."
The official of Honglu Temple who was awaiting court explained: "It was brought to the palace by the Jingwei of the East City Gate. I heard that his identity was not informed to the state capitals along the way."
"Entering Beijing without revealing your identity?"
"That's how it should be. I'm asking to see His Majesty, saying that there is something important, something extremely important, on behalf of the Emperor Onshima."
As soon as he heard the word "Emperor", Lao Ba felt as if he had swallowed a fly alive. He was just a fly that had just eaten and drank enough from the public toilet. He only managed the country in a small way, so how could he have the nerve to call himself "Emperor".
Holding back the boredom in his heart, Lao Ba nodded slightly: "Pass."
The officials of Honglu Temple withdrew, and the officials began to speculate on the purpose of the Yingdao envoy's secret visit to Beijing.
After the martial arts day, Yidawei announced to the outside world on behalf of the palace and the court that the Japanese thieves were plotting to steal the gunpowder formula. At the same time, the court posted notices announcing the various crimes of the Japanese thieves in the East China Sea. As for the Japanese envoys, they were also expelled from the capital and had The Jingwei “escorted” them to the East China Sea and left the Zhou Dynasty.
However, although the imperial court announced these things to the outside world, it did not say that it would go to war with Yingdao, even though the whole world knew what Ying meant by punishing Yingjian.
Except of course Pang Pan.
The officials of Honglu Temple quickly brought the representatives of the Ying Dynasty envoys. When they arrived at the entrance of the main hall, the emperor and his ministers were shocked when they were called.
The Japanese envoy, Okamoto Raiji Temple.
The old man on the dragon throne had a gloomy expression on his face, and many generals in the military department were clenching their teeth.
Okamoto Raidera is currently the Right Minister of Yingdao Taizhengguan.
The responsibilities of the Taizheng officials are similar to those of the prime ministers in the previous dynasties, but it is not one position, but consists of multiple official positions, namely, the Taizheng minister, the left minister, the right minister, and the Great Nayan.
To be less precise, Okamoto Raidera is considered the third-in-command of the power center there. In name, he holds a high position of authority.
If it is just this position, Lao Ba must take it seriously. Regardless of the hatred between the two countries, basic respect should be used. Kill when you should kill, and respect when you should respect. This is "ritual", although it is corrupt, although it is regarded by many people Do not understand and despise, both the emperor and the ministers in the court need to abide by it.
But now when Lao Ba heard this name, he immediately had murderous intentions, and so did the civil and military officials, including many generals and some former civil and military officials.
Okamoto Raidera was in charge of the commander-in-chief of the Western Fleet of Indo Island before serving as the Grand Advocate Zuo Minister. Prince Kamikanami of Indo Island took over his position.
In the previous dynasty, when the country was first founded, there were privateers from Youying Island who came to the East China Sea to burn, kill and plunder, but they did not come in groups and were not organized. They were indeed real pirates, and most of them were merchants from Youying Island. Desperadoes recruited by , smugglers, private ship owners, etc. crossed the sea and came to the East China Sea.
It was not until Okamoto Raidera served in the Northern Fleet Army that he put forward a "proposal", which was a training method called "Ghost Soldiers" within the Yingdao Fleet Army.
The so-called ghost means that the identity is not recognized, and the soldiers refer to the fleet. The ghost soldiers mean a group of troops that are not officially recognized by Yingdao.
After Okamoto Raiji proposed this "ghost soldier" plan, Yingdao began to organize, scale, batch and extremely organized ships to pretend to be privateers to burn, kill and plunder the East China Sea.
The most heartbreaking thing is that Okamoto Raiji even asked the ghost soldiers to kill the number of people, how many people need to be killed after arriving in the East China Sea, what kind of people to kill, and what techniques and methods to kill, etc.
After Okamoto Raidera left the navy, Kamikanha took over the military seal and continued the training method of ghost soldiers. However, he thought more than Okamoto Raidera. In order to better train ghost soldiers, He began to spend large sums of money to buy off the local aristocratic families in Donghai, from the initial cooperation to taking advantage of the situation and so on.
It is worth mentioning that Lao Ba had met Okamoto Raiji when he was serving in Donghai Marine Division.
At that time, Okamoto Raidera was sent to Tokai as an envoy, and was "protected" by the Tokai Marine Corps. It was said that the envoy was just an envoy to Tokai, not the imperial court.
His mission to the East China Sea was nominally to explain why so many privateers landed, burned, killed and plundered, but in fact he was here to demonstrate.
At that time, Yu Yunyao already had a cooperative relationship with this group of Yingdao thieves. Okamoto Raidera came over to tell everyone that the privateers were their Yingdao officers and soldiers, but we just refused to admit it. Even your boat master protected them. Without you, the local people, who can do anything to me?
At that time, Lao Ba even discussed with the Wen brothers and Tie Chen to assassinate Okamoto Raiji, but later it was ignored. After all, Okamoto Raiji stayed in the Marine Corps camp, led by Yu Yunyao and countless Marine Corps troops. The soldiers are protecting, and the success rate is less than or equal to zero.
But later he succeeded, but the assassin was not Okamoto Raidera, but the former Prime Minister who also received the benefits of Yingdao.
At that time, Lao Ba wanted to kill the previous emperor, both for selfish reasons and for justice.
Sixteen years later, Lao Ba has become the emperor of the Zhou Dynasty who dominates the world.
Look again at Okamoto Raiji, the chief culprit who was extremely arrogant in the East China Sea and killed tens of thousands of people. When he entered the temple, he was already white-haired. He slowly knelt down, respectful and obedient, like a dog that had been trained for many years. Like an old dog.
Wen Wu beside the dragon chair had already gritted his teeth.
"Your Majesty, it is indeed the devil."
"I know." Lao Ba shook his head slightly: "Just wait and see what happens."
