Ming Dynasty: Traveling through the harem, Zhu Yuanzhang was dumbfounded

Chapter 216 Siblings cannibalize each other
The truth should be told to those who are as strong as yourself. As for those who are much weaker than you, Li Wenzhong has always only implemented one method, which is to make the other party understand as much as possible the unfairness and truth of this world.

"General! I will explain your meaning to them right away." The Japanese with chains around their necks did not feel unhappy about Li Wenzhong's order.

Instead, his expression was very flattering, as if he was willing to do this.

He walked up a step and faced these 'compatriots'. The reason they were called compatriots was because they spoke the same language as him. Under the influence of the shogunate era, almost every place in the eight major regions of Japan was at odds with the forces in other places.

In the eyes of the prisoner, all the people on Fukue Island were stupid guys.

At the beginning, people were sent to tell them that they would get the best treatment if they surrendered. However, they didn't expect that when the Ming army was at the gate, they didn't even take the initiative to open the city gate. This alone was enough to show how stupid this group of people were.

Therefore, the prisoner was not willing to become their compatriots at all. Compared with this, he would rather be a running dog of the Ming Dynasty.

On the Ming Navy, he could still taste some leftover fruits.

Supplies were extremely scarce throughout Japan, and fruit was something only the nobility could enjoy.

"The handsome and mighty man standing behind me is General Li, the Duke of the East! He has tens of thousands of elite soldiers and many weapons we have never seen before. I know you must think that this Lord Li came here to conquer us and make us his slaves!

But I tell you, no! This is totally wrong!

Lord Li comes from a kingdom with a higher civilization. His arrival can allow us Japanese to break away from the rule of the emperor and become true human beings!
There will definitely be some of you who will not submit to Lord Li, but it doesn’t matter. I believe that in the future you will be grateful for the careful choice you made today.

Now I give you a chance to tell me where the head of the Fujiwara clan is! Let him come out and speak! Lord Li wants to see him!"

The Japanese slave said everything he wanted to say as loudly as possible, then turned to look at Li Wenzhong and said flatteringly:
"General Li! I have already told them everything you asked me to say!"

"Yeah." Li Wenzhong sat on the chair, saying nothing and just waiting quietly for things to develop.

The thousands of Japanese who were surrounded began to discuss.

Some people cursed the Japanese who could speak Chinese, saying that he was a running dog and a betrayer of the emperor and Bushido. Some people wanted to stand up and resist, but were shot like a hornet's nest by the Ming soldiers with shotguns.

Ever since the Ming soldiers entered their territory, there have been many ronin warriors in this group who wanted to exchange one for one.

These guys drew their swords and rushed towards the Ming army, but the swords could only leave a shallow mark on the soldiers' armor. Not to mention killing people, they couldn't even cause any concussion.

In the end, he was forced to be disemboweled.

After the Japanese slave said this, the crowd started a lively discussion. People had all kinds of opinions, and most of them were envious of the slave, because after the slave finished speaking, Li Wenzhong's subordinate took out an unknown fruit from the box.

The moment the slave received the fruit, he kowtowed three times respectfully, then picked it up and started eating it frantically.

It was juicy, crisp and delicious. Seeing him wolfing down the food, many people couldn't help swallowing.

They worship the emperor and the clan leader, but neither of them gives them food. However, when they are dogs of the Ming Dynasty, they are fed by someone! And it is the most expensive fruit!
Under such temptation, someone really raised his hand and revealed the news about Fujiwara Kotaro!

"General! I know where that guy Kotaro went! He ran towards Mount Kiyomizu early in the morning. He must have gone to the shrine there!"

The guy who stood up pointed at the mountain behind the most luxurious townhouse.

As luck would have it, Fujiwara Kotaro appeared in front of everyone from the side path at this moment.

At this moment, he was wearing a traditional Bushido armor, which is also a distinctive Japanese armor. Overall, it is very similar to that of ancient China, and there are traces of the Tang Dynasty on it. The only difference is that there is a ghost mask on his face to increase the wearer's evil spirit, so that he can overwhelm the opponent with momentum during the battle with the enemy.

However, this was a complete joke in front of Li Wenzhong.

Because Fujiwara Kotaro was too small wearing armor.

The whole person can't be called an adult at all.

From the moment he entered the city, Li Wenzhong discovered that the overall height of the Japanese was not even as high as that of a twelve-year-old child in the Ming Dynasty.

They were very short, and the spears in their hands were several times taller than theirs.

After Fujiwara Kotaro ran down from the shrine's wooden house, he immediately put on his armor. He solemnly walked through the crowd and appeared in front of Li Wenzhong.

He wanted to say something arrogant, but in the end, he gave in.

Without saying anything, he knelt on his knees:
"Sir General! I am Fujiwara Kotaro, the 24th head of the Fujiwara clan. I am willing to submit to you and become your brave retainer! As long as you are willing to accept me, I will be able to kill countless enemies for you on the battlefield in the future! And establish supreme merit."

His eloquent speech seemed to move even himself, and he even handed over his family totem iron plate, which had the Fujiwara family's emblem on it.

In Japan, every family has its own family crest. Once the family crest is handed over, it means that from now on, the family will completely submit to outsiders.

The fact that the Fujiwara clan could achieve this point was both expected and unreasonable for Li Wenzhong.

According to his idea, this guy should pretend to surrender, and then he would beat him up, but he didn't expect
"What the hell is this guy mumbling about?"

Li Wenzhong's face was full of disgust because he could not understand Japanese. It was not until his Japanese servants translated it that he understood what the other party had just said.

"So you want to be my slave, are you worthy?" Li Wenzhong smiled evilly and did not take Fujiwara Kotaro seriously at all. According to the intelligence capabilities of Ming Dynasty spies, he had already found out exactly what this guy had done over the years in just one night.

In his opinion, a beast who is so despicable as to attack his own family must have a very vicious mind.

Rather than keeping him around and possibly causing him to attack you, it is better to send him off now.

As Fujiwara Kotaro expected, he watched someone shoot at him.

boom!
Several gunshots rang out simultaneously.

puff!

The moment the bullet penetrated his body, Fujiwara Kotaro asked Li Wenzhong in disbelief:
"Your Excellency General! What is this! Why!?"

Fujiwara Kotaro kept backing away, his face full of disbelief.

"Hahaha! My stupid brother! I never thought that the chance for me to avenge my father would appear so soon! God is really helping me!"

Suddenly, a voice that made Fujiwara Kotaro feel deeply frightened appeared. He turned around suddenly and found a skinny, almost naked man with a short dagger in his back rushing towards him.

Just for a moment, before he died, he could still feel the dagger cutting through his chest and a cold hand grabbing his heart and kneading it.

The person who came was Fujiwara no Nagano Hiroshi, the guy who was released from the dry well by Mikami Goji.

"Foolish brother! Do you know! It's your loss that you didn't kill me back then! May the spirits of our ancestors in heaven bless me, allowing me to be alive despite your abuse of me. This is to give me the chance to take revenge with my own hands!" Fujiwara no Nagano Hiroshi kneaded the heart of his younger brother until he died.

"Who is this guy? Why does he seem to have a deep hatred towards Fujiwara Kotaro?" Li Wenzhong asked his subordinates.

He was the one who was in charge of gathering information last night. Recalling yesterday's intelligence and pondering it, he quickly came to a conclusion.

“Your Excellency, according to information from my subordinates, Fujiwara Mitsuhiko, the biological father of Fujiwara Kotaro, has three children. The eldest is Fujiwara Nagano Hiroshi, the second is him, and the third is Fujiwara Masako.

A few years ago, in order to avoid becoming a proton, this guy killed his biological father and all his opponents.

He personally imprisoned and tortured his eldest brother, and later disappeared.

Just now the Japanese servant said that the ragged guy kept saying something like revenge, so it must be Nagano Hiroshi. "

Li Wenzhong looked at Fujiwara no Nagano Hiroshi with interest.

He killed his brother with his own hands, and before he had time to be happy, he stepped over the corpses of his relatives. Before leaving, he took the Bushido from Kotaro's hand and hurriedly walked to Li Wenzhong.

Without hesitation, he knelt on his knees and said with tears in his eyes:

"Your Excellency, the great general! I, the son of the 23rd head of the Fujiwara clan, Fujiwara no Nagano Hiroshi, sincerely thank you! It is you who gave me the opportunity for revenge!
From today on! The Fujiwara clan is willing to become the Shogun's servant family for generations!

This is a keepsake made by the ancestors of the Fujiwara family, named Butsu-mikoto! It is as powerful as cutting through iron! It is extremely powerful! I hope the general will collect it! The Fujiwara family is willing to follow the general's orders!"

As the eldest son, the fact that Fujiwara no Nagano Hiroshi was able to stay at the bottom of the dry well for such a long time without going crazy is enough to show his amazing willpower.

Starting from halfway up the mountain, he observed the slack troops around Li Wenzhong.

Whether in terms of their mental outlook or weapon configuration, this group of Ming troops can easily crush all the ronin warriors on the island.

Not to mention that the Fujiwara clan became an isolated family under the leadership of Kotaro.

Apart from becoming Li Wenzhong's slave, there is no other choice more suitable than this one.

Li Wenzhong leaned forward, put his elbows on his knees, and said with a sigh:

"Yes, look up and let me see you."

As the Japanese prisoners translated it, Fujiwara no Nagano Hiroshi slowly raised his head. His face was covered with scars, especially the scar on his forehead that was branded with some hot metal, leaving an indelible scar for his whole life.

This is enough to show what kind of inhumane torture his younger brother, who was killed by his own hands, had inflicted on him.

"It seems that you really want to be my slave." Li Wenzhong said in a flat voice, then he stood up and walked down with his burly body.

When Fujiwara no Nagano Hiroshi saw Li Wenzhong's exquisite leather boots appear in front of him, he couldn't help but feel a little nervous.

The next moment, his pupils dilated in horror because Li Wenzhong's foot was already on his head.

Otherwise, the Japanese are just underdeveloped. Fujiwara no Nagano Hiroshi's entire body should be only about 1.4 meters tall, the same size as a child, and his head is not even as big as Li Wenzhong's.

Stepping on it made Li Wenzhong feel like he was playing Cuju with a sepak ball.

Feeling his entire face touching the familiar soil, Fujiwara Nagano Hiroshi did not feel angry at all.

After kneading for about five minutes, he finally stopped.

"Yes, it seems that you have treated yourself as a dog. In this case, remember, from today on, you are a dog under my command, Li Wenzhong, and you have to do whatever I tell you to do." Li Wenzhong spoke without any emotion, as if it was an established fact.

Fujiwara no Hiroshi nodded repeatedly.

As for the Butu Yuhun that the other party presented, Li Wenzhong collected all of them into his own collection.

This is the rule in ancient times. Apart from royal items or matters related to the royal family, generals are not allowed to touch them. As for other things, as long as you capture them, they can become your private collection.

During the years of fighting against the Northern Yuan Dynasty, Li Wenzhong had many personal treasures of Northern Yuan generals or princes.

Part of these things were contributed by Li Wenzhong, a small part was distributed to his subordinates, and the rest were all pocketed by him.

From today on, Fukue Island became the Ming Dynasty's first stronghold in Japan.

Li Wenzhong asked some people to leave the fleet and let everyone on the fleet go to the island to rest.

Those Japanese servants became slaves and began large-scale construction on the islands.

Seven days later.

These Japanese thought that their future fate would be miserable, but they never expected that it would be otherwise.

First, after Li Wenzhong ordered the people on the fleet to land on the island, they immediately began to develop Fukue Island. They cut down all the wood on the island and built temporary residences.

These territories are all where the Ming army rests.

After all, they have been floating on the sea for a long time, and some soldiers have long been unaccustomed to it. If they continue like this, someone might commit suicide.

Therefore, building houses in Han style is a necessary option.

There are about 50,000 to 60,000 Japanese on the entire Fukue Island.

In addition to the Fujiwara clan, there are about a dozen other Japanese clans, but the combined strength of these clans, big and small, is not as strong as that of the Fujiwara clan.

It’s just that the Fujiwara clan used to live in the plains of Fukue Island, while these unknown clans were driven into the deep mountains and forests.

The situation was unexpectedly resolved when Ming soldiers led Fujiwara's slaves into the mountains to cut trees.

In the end, they naturally became slaves. All Japanese, except the elderly and children, and all adult men, regardless of their physical condition, had to participate in labor.

In this way, in just less than seven days, Fukue Island was developed to a very perfect level by Li Wenzhong.

He built houses that could accommodate 100,000 soldiers for rest.

At the same time, he also sent some people to Nara and Yoshino to visit the emperor who ruled the Southern Dynasty, Emperor Chokei, three days later, as the general of the Ming Dynasty.

Let the other party prepare in advance, otherwise he will let the other party know his strength.

This was the first time that Li Wenzhong came into contact with Japanese power in the image of the Ming Dynasty.

Upon hearing the news, Emperor Nagayoshi immediately summoned his subordinates for discussion.
