Chapter 1: A Succession (I)
"What, Dawn Source? Can he take on this responsibility? Kuroda asked with some unease. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Of course, he was originally in the defense area of the Ming Kingdom, and the south is Nanyang, when I first met him, I had a long talk with him, he is not only good at field warfare, especially jungle warfare, but also has a deep understanding of water warfare. Besides, even if he didn't understand it, wouldn't there be one who could command a water war after subduing three thousand people? Koji Vocational High School said with confidence.
"But will he be able to subdue these people?" Kuroda is still a little worried.
"Then it depends on his means, he is a general who can manage thousands of people in the Ming Kingdom, and this means should still be there. And the purpose of letting him go in the past is to subdue these people, these people do all kinds of evil, unruly, and very untamed, but once they can be truly used by me, it will be a great help to my Kuroda family in the future. Koji said with a smile.
"That's right, he can't do it alone!" Kuroda still has his own concerns.
"Then transfer the Ming State Reserve Army, which has just expanded to four hundred people, to transfer them all together, anyway, they are all brave people, and they are proficient in water." Koji said with a smile.
"But the Ming State Reserve Team is a strong reserve team of our family! This downward adjustment will not be used for the time being. "When Kuroda heard that he was going to transfer the Ming State Reserve Team, he was a little reluctant.
"What do you think is the time to choose between the temporary loss of four hundred men and three thousand of the same brave men, father." Xiaosi Zhigao suddenly asked.
"Well, that's true. In that case, do as you say! Kuroda felt that it was indeed a good deal, so he no longer hesitated.
The two of them chattered on the main seat, but it was difficult for Xu Weixue to learn, he didn't understand a word, after the two talked, the small temple said to him: "The family is willing to accept these pirates, but to accept the family to send a new leader, and also to go to the country of Inaba to be stationed for a period of time, to accept the reorganization of the family, if they agree, go to the lake and mountain pool of the country of Inba to standby!" ”
"Obey the will of the lord and the young lord." Xu Weixue bowed respectfully.
"Lord Xu doesn't need to be like this, by the way, Lord Xu, after they come, the family will start to carry out some smuggling trade in the direction of the Jurchens north of North Korea, and it may be necessary for Lord Xu to bother again." Koji said with a smile.
"Where did the young master say, the young master gave me and other people of the Ming Kingdom a way to live when we were in danger, and we should have repaid each other with a spring, since the young master said it, the old man did it." Xu Weixue replied respectfully.
"By the way, Lord Xu, how many people are there in the Ming Kingdom now?" Kodera asked.
"More than 40,000 people, if it weren't for the lack of capacity, the population would be even more." Xu Weixue replied.
40,000, it seems that the people of the Ming Kingdom are not living very well! Koji Zhigao thought in his heart. It's not easy to live overseas! There are more than 400,000 people in Kuroda's territory, and the Ming people account for one-tenth, which is already quite a lot, but they only have 4,000 stone of land, which is only more than one-twentieth of the total territory.
"Is there any difficulty in managing Lord Xu's side?"
"It's just that the land is not enough, and the original 4,000 stone land we developed was only less than 8,000 stone in the end, even if it is harvested three times a year, it is not enough to feed so many people." After listening to Xu Weixue, the small temple vocational high school nodded, and sure enough, the land was not enough.
"Father, Lord Xu explained that the people of the country now have 40,000 people, and the previous 4,000 stone land, they have developed to 8,000 stones, but it is still not enough, I don't know if I can add some land." Kotera Vocational High School pleaded to Kuroda Vocational High, after all, these Ming people are their own compatriots!
"The land of 4,000 stones has been developed into 8,000 stones, and the people of the Ming Kingdom are really amazing! In fact, most of the Yibao County is now in the hands of the family, and it is not impossible to hand it over all to the Ming people, but the Ming people seem to be under heavy pressure and have great potential! It's not as good as this, didn't Dawn Xinyuan, Li Sanbao, and Ling Wei get the land of 4,000 stones in the south of Yibao County when they were assessed before? Then seal Lord Xu as the affairs of the Ming Kingdom of his own family, and seal the south of Bao County with 1,000 stones, adding up to 9,000 stones. There is also half of the profits from overseas trade to the Ming people, so it should not be a problem for them to feed 40,000 people for the time being! Kuroda said after thinking about it for a while.
"Thank you, father." Kodera vocational high school bowed to Kuroda vocational high.
"Lord Xu, my father agreed to add an additional 1,000 stones of land to you, plus the 4,000 stones of Lord Dawn Xinyuan at the time of assessment, a total of 9,000 stones of land, and you can extract half of the profits from overseas trade, which should be enough for the people of Ming Kingdom to live for the time being!" Kotera Vocational High School said.
"Take all the people of the Ming Kingdom below, thank you to the lord, thank you to the young master" Xu Weixue knelt directly on the ground excitedly, a Mingguo-style worship.
"Lady Xu, I'll ask Ryonzo-sama Konishi to discuss the issue of new land with you, and the family will try to select a large area of undeveloped land and hand it over to you," Kuroda said.
Just sent Xu Weixue away, and it turned out to be another guest, Suzuki Chongcheng.
"Suzuki-sama, I don't know what you're doing here?" Kuroda asked.
"Lord Lord, I came to see Lord Lord this time, is it for me and my brothers to come and complain?" After Suzuki Shigenari sat directly on the ground, he said angrily.
"Oh! What's the injustice? Suzuki-sama just has to say it. Kuroda said with a smile.
"Lord Lord, when he was preparing for the former country, he took thirty brothers to the Kuroda family. To say a word of gratitude, the Kuroda family is indeed courteous to everyone below, but we are the Kuroda family's iron artillery garrison! Lord, you have forgotten about us! The family gave priority to all the iron cannons of the Ming Kingdom to the Ming people, and the brothers were not convinced! Suzuki said aggrievedly.
"It's for this!"
"Lord Suzuki, because there happened to be a senior officer of the original Ming State Firearms Battalion among the Ming people before, so they handed over the Ming State Iron Cannon to them, as for Lord Suzuki's side, it is indeed my Kuroda family who has not thought it through, please Suzuki-sama be patient, and then the latest batch of Ming State Iron Guns will definitely be handed over to the adults' reserve team for use, but please be sure to expand the number of reserves to one hundred people first, the Ming State Iron Cannon needs to be used by two people, and thirty people can only use fifteen iron cannons, it's really hard to say!" Kuroda said with a smile.
