Chapter 82 Crusade
Author: Hellcat God
Du Yu felt relatively happy when he saw that things were going so smoothly.
But I also saw that there must be something wrong with Saburo Nozawa's translation, but he didn't care.
The Japanese people are a group of people with the characteristics of "Chrysanthemum and Sword". As long as you are stronger than them, you will behave like a pug.
Once you become weak one day, they will pounce on you and bite you like a vicious dog.
Considering that period of history in the real world, Du Yu had only one idea in dealing with them, and that was to suppress them with thunderous means.
This is because the people of Ishigami did not resist on a large scale, otherwise he would have poured tens of thousands of 'Molotov cocktails' in the system space into this small city.
Since "changing the dynasty" can replace him with an obedient person to work for him, there is no need to take heavy measures for the time being.
However, he believed that sooner or later, these Japanese would rebel, and it would not be too late to teach them an unforgettable lesson at that time.
Supporting Haruko Takagi to become the daimyo of Ishimi Province, she soon ordered her subordinates to mine silver mines and cut down wood and burn charcoal to refine silver ingots.
Du Yu planned to leave after staying for two days. After all, the Wei Dynasty in the Water Margin world was at a critical period and he was busy with things, so he couldn't leave for too long.
Before leaving, he left Long Feng and a thousand of his subordinates in Shijian Country to take charge of this matter, and stipulated that every three months Hu Yun and Bao Chong would come with a fleet to collect silver ingots.
In order to facilitate communication, he specially left the bad translator Nozawa Saburo to Long Feng.
Before leaving, Du Yu took out 500 'Molotov Cocktails' from the system space and gave them to Long Feng, and told him that if anyone from Shijian Country dared to resist, he would deal with them harshly and show no mercy.
Long Feng was very happy to take over this task. He could stay away from the patriarch who he had been extremely afraid of since he was a child, and he could also become a local emperor in a small Japanese country.
Of course, he was well aware of Yuan Qi's terrifying methods and did not dare to betray him. He understood that the regional flame sect master could use it on Iwami Kuni Daimyo, and he could use it on him.
After Du Yu finished his instructions, he took the people on board and set off back to Yangzhou.
Nothing happened on the way that I don’t need to elaborate on.
After returning to Yangzhou, he simply dealt with the backlog of matters in the Iron Hand Regiment and planned to leave.
Just as he was about to leave, Cui Liang suddenly asked to see him.
In recent years, Yuan Qi has been living in seclusion, and even the governor of Yangzhou has rarely seen him.
"It's been a long time since I've seen Your Majesty with his face glowing and full of energy. I think this magical feat will be successful. Congratulations to Your Majesty." Cui Liang said his compliments as if they were free of charge.
"I am naturally more relaxed and energetic, but Governor Cui has made outstanding achievements. I heard that your Majesty has been promoted to Zhongshu Ling and will soon take up his post in the capital of the gods." Du Yu said.
"Indeed, I still have to thank the prince. Unless the prince has built a port and planted new crops in the past few years, I don't know if I can take this official position." Cui Liang bowed and saluted very sincerely.
"You don't have to be like this, Governor Cui. You and I can work together to complement each other, and I have gained a lot of benefits from it. However, I would like to ask, has the court said who the new governor sent to Yangzhou is?" Du Yu said.
"Your Majesty, this is the reason for requesting the meeting." Cui Liang said.
"Oh, is there anything I can't say?" Du Yu asked.
Cui Liang frowned and said: "Your Majesty, after your Majesty promoted me, I recommended Wu Wendeng to be the governor of Yangzhou. Logically speaking, he has a share of his achievements in the past few years, and his official qualifications are enough to take up the post of governor."
.But His Majesty not only rejected my recommendation, but also reprimanded me."
"Why is this?" Du Yu asked.
"The Holy Will is unpredictable. Your Majesty, I always feel that there is some conspiracy here." Cui Liang said.
"Don't worry, Governor Cui. You and I have never done anything harmful to the imperial court. Even if some people want to deal with us, we still have to come up with something. You are not afraid of shadows. Remember, you did not intend to be greedy a few years ago."
He is the governor of Yangzhou who protects the people." Du Yu said calmly.
Cui Liang thought for a while, and after returning the money from Yuan Qi, he and Wu Wenden and his group had no more such ideas. In addition, they had invested in the port built by the prince, not to mention making a lot of money every day.
If you really want to find fault, the most I can say is that the pen shook a few times when demarcating the territory, but those are unclaimed wastelands and cannot be considered as plundering.
"Well, I think too much," Cui Liang said.
Du Yu laughed and said: "Now that Yangzhou is getting more prosperous and there is more and more money and food, it is normal for Your Majesty to have ideas. After all, the Guanhe River has been restless in these years. Your Majesty has to find ways to replenish the treasury. However, no matter who is the governor, it belongs to us.
The things are still ours."
"Maybe I'm too worried," Cui Liang said.
"Don't worry, Governor Cui, since you have invested in the port, your share of the benefits will not be less, whether you are in Yangzhou or not," Du Yu said.
Cui Mingliang nodded. In fact, this was the purpose of his visit. Any worries about a conspiracy were all false. He understood the strength of the leader of the Iron Hand Regiment much better than outsiders.
"In that case, I'm relieved. Your Majesty, I have a happy event," Cui Liang said.
Du Yu was stunned and asked: "What's the matter?"
"Didn't I propose to the prince that he should adopt Cui's daughter as his concubine? Now there is news from Qinghe and the candidates have been drawn. As long as the prince is willing, good things will come true," Cui Liang said.
"Oh, let me take a look at the painting over there." Du Yu said.
It was said that in the Tang Dynasty, even the Li family was proud to marry a daughter of the fifth surname and Qi Wang. He really wanted to see what was different about the daughter of the Cui family of Qinghe.
"I came here in a hurry and didn't bring the painting with me. When I get back, I will ask the boy to deliver it to the prince," Cui Liang said.
Du Yu nodded and said: "Chief Cui, after seeing the painting, no matter whether it is successful or not, I will reply to you as soon as possible."
Cui Liang smiled and said: "If the prince is not satisfied, can he still change someone? There are still several people to marry for the Cui family's legitimate daughter."
The two looked at each other, then burst out laughing.
After sending Cui Liang away, Du Yu sat in a secret room and meditated. It seemed that Cui of Qinghe really wanted to marry himself, Prince Ying.
They must know that 'Yuan Qi' is the person promoted by Wu Zetian, so aren't they afraid that in the future, Queen Bintian and the Li family will liquidate the people of the Wu family after she regains control of the magic weapon?
After pondering for a moment, he couldn't figure out the reason, but Du Yu was not worried about the future. Unlike the Water Margin world, he didn't want to cause trouble in the Shendi world. He just wanted to be a quiet and beautiful man and make some money.
A few years later, when the day comes to be purged, he can move the Iron Hand underground, or simply give up on the world of Shendi.
After all, in less than a year, a new world will be created. It is impossible for him to conquer every world he sees. That would be too tiring and unnecessary.
Just like now, he only regards the world of Shendi as the granary of the Water Margin world and the jade extraction machine of the real world.
However, Du Yu is indeed very interested in the daughter of the Five Surnames and Seven Hopes.
He had long discovered that after devouring Shi Jin and Yuan Qi in succession, his body's desire was stronger than before. Coupled with the convenient conditions, he didn't have any mental burden to open a harem in a multidimensional world.
Not long after Cui Liang left, someone from the Governor's Office sent a box.
Du Yu opened it and took a look. There were two paintings inside. He opened them one by one and appreciated them carefully.
He found that one of them was more in line with his aesthetics, and it was stated on it that the girl's name was Cui Lan, and she was five feet seven inches tall.
Du Yu thought about it in his mind. In the Tang Dynasty, a foot was about 30 centimeters and an inch was about 3 centimeters. This Cui Lan was about 1.7cm tall and had a relatively well-proportioned figure. He was indeed his type.
So, he wrote a letter and asked people from the Governor's Mansion to bring it to Cui Liang, saying that he had chosen Cui Lan and that he could pick him up and take him to Prince Ying's Mansion on a good and auspicious day.
He doesn't care how Cui Liang operates, just notify him to pick him up when the time comes.
Du Yu kept this incident in mind and traveled back from time to time to check on the situation. After taking a batch of property from the warehouse of Prince Ying's Mansion again, he teleported back to the Water Margin world.
In the world of Water Margin, the five states in Hebei Province were occupied by Shi Feng, and the story of the arrogant king finally reached Zhao Ji's ears.
In the past, Daming Mansion was captured by Liangshan, and in the later period, the rebel army became king. The Zhao official family was so furious that they summoned their ministers to discuss how to deal with the matter.
Zhao Ji's first thought was to send troops to destroy them, and Tong Guan immediately asked for a fight.
According to the imperial edict, Tong Guanxing ordered eight military prefectures under the jurisdiction of Tokyo to send out 10,000 troops each, plus the 20,000 imperial guards he led, for a total of 100,000 troops to attack the two rebels.
Considering the distance issue, Tong Guan decided to attack Liangshan first and then Hebei.
