Chapter 1250: Changing Hexagrams
At the beginning of the first month, the restored calm of the Wa Kingdom began to be busy with spring ploughing, and Uemura Kawachi successfully built a new imperial court in Tokyo, and the cabinet was still chaotic, but it was still a team.
In the court, after listening to the report of the great elder Uemura Xiaoye, on the spring ploughing matters in various places, Shangcun Hanoi smiled with satisfaction: "Are those sweet potatoes, corn and potatoes sent by the general army really have such a high yield as they say?" ”
Uemura Xiaoye smiled and said, "Emperor, please rest assured, the Dongjiang Army has already begun to sow seeds here before, and the lower officials have also witnessed it with their own eyes. High yields are true, and if nothing else, just sow a season to ensure that we don't have any more food shortages. ”
In the past few years, the country has been in turmoil, and there has always been a food shortage in the country, especially in the past two years. After being sacked by the Yi army, the Wa Kingdom was already in trouble, and there was a great food shortage in the country for a time. Later, with the arrival of the Dongjiang Army, after the start of the war, the food shortage became more and more serious.
The newly established imperial court was also extremely short of food, but fortunately, Mao Wenlong generously donated enough food to Shangcun Hanoi, which resolved the current difficulties of the Japanese state.
"Well, you have to take care of the crops and don't make any mistakes." Kamimura Hanoi earnestly advised.
"Emperor, please rest assured, the lower officials will definitely watch carefully, and there will be absolutely no mistakes." Uemura Xiaoye swore an oath.
With food, the Uemura family can have a more stable control over those families who have returned to the country. In this way, Uemura Xiaoye didn't dare to be careless at all, and kept staring closely.
Kamimura Hanoi nodded and asked, "Do you know when the general army will go on an expedition?" ”
Uemura Xiaoye hesitated for a moment, and said in a low voice: "Emperor, did the lower officials hear some news a few days ago, I don't know whether to talk about it or not?" ”
Uemura Hanoi frowned, with a look of displeasure on his face: "Just say anything straight, there are no outsiders here." ”
"Emperor, I heard that an envoy from Luzon came to meet with the chief soldier last year, and this news has been found out by the lower officials, and it is indeed true. But the lower officials failed to find out what the envoy of Luzon talked about with the general soldiers? Uemura said.
"Luzon actually sent an emissary...... Why wasn't this reported before? Uemura Kawachi's face became more and more gloomy.
"The lower officials have not been able to determine whether the news is true before, so they dare not report it, and ask the emperor for forgiveness." Uemura Saya senses Uemura's anger at Kawachi and explains.
Frowning, Uemura Hanoi suppressed the anger in his heart, and said gently: "Send out the secret shinobi immediately, and you must find out about this matter no matter what." ”
"But......" Uemura Xiaoye suddenly became embarrassed.
"It's nothing good, Luzon actually sent an envoy here, it must be to make peace with the general army. If the general army did not fight with the Luzon state, then the army would inevitably not leave the Japanese state. We will never turn over, we must not allow Luzon to reconcile with the general army, and no matter how big the price is, we must let them fight. Kamimura Kawachi said in a voice.
Since Mao Wenlong and Hong Chengchou broke off Shangcun Hanoi's previous thoughts, he has now made other plans. Mao Wenlong's assimilation plan left Kamimura Hanoi helpless, so he decided to attack the remaining Dongjiang troops after Mao Wenlong led the army away. He always firmly believed that as long as he promised a lot of profits, he would be able to buy people's hearts, and slowly win over these generals or officials of the Dongjiang Army who were stationed there. One day, the fate of the Wa Kingdom will still be in their own hands.
Kamimura Xiaoye didn't dare to say more, he said yes and hurriedly retreated.
The new imperial court of the Wa Kingdom was established, but it had an empty shell but could not really control the military power. Every time the number of troops exceeds 10,000, it must be reported to the lieutenant general of the Dongjiang Army. Only after obtaining permission can he be mobilized, which makes Kamimura River feel very aggrieved in his heart. So now he is trying to fight a turnaround battle by all means.
Nagasaki is still immersed in joy, and the streets and alleys are still filled with joyful atmosphere. Although the current Wa State is ruled separately by the Dongjiang Army and the newly established Wa Imperial Court, the actual power is completely in the hands of the Dongjiang Army, so there is nothing to worry about at all.
Mao Wenlong and Hong Chengchou were rarely able to come out for a walk, the two walked on the street, looking at the laughter everywhere, Mao Wenlong shook his head and smiled: "I don't know what the current Ming Capital City is like?" ”
Hong Chengchou glanced at him and said with a smile: "The general soldier is also starting to miss his hometown, since this is the case, don't rush to Luzon first." Or let General Chen Jisheng and them go, and the general soldiers can take Yan'er's mother and daughter back to Daming first, but they will suffer from lovesickness. ”
Mao Wenlong's footsteps stopped, and he recalled that since he set out on the expedition, he had not returned to Daming for more than two years. It is true that the concern for his family is becoming more and more serious, but the expedition has already been planned, and such a major event can not change halfway.
Seeing the hesitation in Mao Wenlong's heart, Hong Chengchou hurriedly persuaded him: "General soldier, Luzon has deliberately surrendered without a fight, and there will definitely be no chaos." With General Chen Jisheng, it is enough for them to go, and the general army can take advantage of this gap to go back to Daming. Moreover, the emperor has always been concerned about the general soldiers, and your father and son should also get together. The chief soldier can also go back and see the changes in Daming now, and he will definitely not disappoint the chief soldier. ”
Being said by Hong Chengchou did stir up Mao Wenlong's mind, and the changes in the Ming Dynasty can be said to be a rapid change. The innovation of Weihaiwei University is not a joke, and many of the modernization concepts proposed by Mao Wenlong have begun to be put into practice. And the steam engine has already been made, and the trains and everything else in the back are also being built.
These are all things that have appeared before Hong Chengchou left Daming, and Hong Chengchou himself does not understand these things, but after he told Mao Wenlong. Mao Wenlong was itchy and wanted to go back to see, he fantasized that today's Ming Dynasty should be similar to the last generation of the Qing Dynasty.
At this moment, Mao Wenlong had obviously been aroused by Hong Chengchou's wishes, he hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded and said: "Okay, then the matter of this expedition to Luzon will be handed over to Chen Jisheng and them." This general soldier will go back to Daming to see what Daming has become today. ”
Hong Chengchou smiled like a bun when he heard this, and he didn't say much, so he immediately pulled Mao Wenlong back to the mansion, found Hong Ziyan, and informed her of Mao Wenlong's decision. This made Hong Ziyan very happy, and directly asked when Mao Wenlong would return to Daming.
