Dressed as a family of cannon fodder, the villain brother is busy opening up wasteland

Li Yi eventually sent these people to the branch courtyard of the Maritime Trade Office for temporary settlement, and then handed them over to other people for "care" while he returned to the Qiu family.

At this time, everyone was in the Qiu family's yard.

"Tell us quickly, what have you done in the past few months?" Prince Fu couldn't wait any longer and asked his son almost as soon as he entered the door.

Everyone looked at Li Yi. Li Yi glanced at Wen Jun, who shrugged: "They said they would wait until you come back, for fear of missing anything."

Li Yi smiled helplessly, looked around, found a seat and sat down. The whole hall was packed with people, some sitting and some standing. Even the servants gathered at the door, afraid of missing out on something exciting.

As soon as Li Yi sat down, Nanny Shi brought him a cup of tea at just the right temperature.

He picked up the teacup, took a sip, and then began to tell everyone about their expedition.

Because of Wen Yao's map, telescope and compass, the location of Japan was not difficult to find. When they found Japan and took the initiative to attack, the Japanese people had not yet reacted.

They chose a land closest to Annan to go ashore. Most of the people living there were ordinary people, so they got ashore easily. After all, before getting off the boat, Wen Jun said that as long as the people did not resist, they should not harm them at will. Moreover, as soldiers of Annan, they should not rob houses, let alone kill people or burn anything.

This was the rule that Wen Xiuyi had set long before the navy set out.

The soldiers of Annan would not do such a heartless thing.

As for those Japanese pirates who had been to Annan and harmed the people of Annan, they were all killed.

With Wenjun and Datou, two people who knew the Japanese language, they easily occupied the Japanese city closest to Annan, and then fought their way up, killing all those who resisted. The elderly, the weak, women and children who were powerless and had never done anything bad were not killed, but simply controlled.

It was not until they arrived in Japan that they understood why people from such a tiny place dared to come to Annan and act so presumptuously.

In the places they passed through, the people had a hard time and were very poor. We learned from the people that they went to neighboring countries to kill, injure, rob, or hijack passing merchant ships. Some of them were sent by their officials. Of course, some were forced to become bandits because they could not make a living, but this was not a reason for them to invade other countries.

The Japanese themselves did not expect that they had brought themselves into such a big trouble by merely robbing and looting. Annan meant real fighting when he said so.

It was not until Japan could no longer bear it that it surrendered and asked for peace, willing to serve Annan as its master and pay tribute every year.

Moreover, there were several chaotic forces within Japan. They originally planned to take them down all at once, but in the end they chose to support a force that was willing to make peace with Annan and had always opposed others from robbing the people of Annan. The delay this time was also to allow the people of that force to gain a foothold in Japan.

"When we came back, we left a boatload of people stationed there. We have already started training carrier pigeons and asked the people there to learn the language of Annan," said Li Yi.

Prince Fu looked at his son, then at Wen Xiuyi and Wen Jun, and asked in surprise, "Are you planning to assimilate those Japanese?"

Wen Xiuyi touched the teacup and said calmly: "Those people were brought over by our ancestors."

Prince Fu didn't hear clearly: "Ah? What did you say?"

Wen Xiuyi took a sip of tea and said, "Nothing, just a nagging." After that, Wen Xiuyi looked at Li Yi, the Seventh Prince and Wen Jun, and said, "You did a great job."

"But these people are so bad, will they pretend to obey but actually disobey?" A servant muttered at the door.

Everyone in the room looked towards the door, and the servants at the door quickly stood still. Everyone then looked away. Li Yi glanced at Datou and said, "It shouldn't happen. They don't have this chance."

Except for the one they supported, all the members of the Japanese royal family were slaughtered by this kid. I don’t know how this brother-in-law could be so cruel that he didn’t even spare children of a few years old.

Li Yi came back this time just to find some time to talk to Wen Yao about his brother-in-law. How could a person who was usually harmless suddenly become so cruel and decisive in killing people, as if he had become a different person?

Japan has been severely damaged this time. Not to mention counterattacking after it has reacted, I am afraid that Japan will continue in its current state for the next few decades and will not be able to recover.

The people they left behind were tasked with assimilating these Japanese people, and also with preventing Japan from developing. With them around, Japan would probably not be able to recover for nearly a hundred years.

When they recovered, they were almost assimilated by them. Was it still the original Japan at that time? I'm afraid not.

Wen Xiuyi just nodded and said nothing else. Instead, he asked, "Who is the envoy this time?"

Li Yi answered his father-in-law's question honestly: "He is the eldest son of Miyamoto Kojiro, whom we support. He is called an envoy, but in fact he is also a hostage."

Li Yi still finds it strange to pronounce this person's name. How could he give him such a name? It seems that he has to tell the people who stay there not to forget to teach them simplified Chinese characters. It would be best to simplify both the name and the surname to avoid tongue twisters.

"Hostage?" Wen Xiuyi frowned slightly and sneered, "Those people have no sense of propriety, righteousness, or integrity. I'm afraid this son of ours is just a discarded pawn to stabilize our situation."

Li Yi glanced at his harmless brother-in-law again and added, "When the treaty was signed, it was written that the next leader of Japan, and even every future leader, must be designated by us in Annan. If anyone competes with the person we designate for the position of leader, we will send troops to destroy them."

Wen Xiuyi raised his eyebrows: "Oh? Who proposed this?"

The big head who had hidden his merits and fame spoke faintly: "Dad, it's me. I chose this little Jiro-kun as a hostage, and I also chose him as the successor to their next king."

Wen Xiuyi looked at his son and asked, "Why did you choose him?"

Datou said: "He is about the same age as us, so it will be convenient to keep him by our side and keep an eye on him. In addition, he is kind and has different ideas from his father and uncles. Although he is the eldest son, his mother is not favored, so he is not favored by his father. He just occupies the title of the eldest son in vain.

Originally, his father, the king, wanted his concubine's son to be the king in the future, but I asked my brother-in-law to refuse. The person must be chosen by us.

Another thing is that his father is not going to die for long. This little Jiro will have to stay in Annan for at least 10 to 20 years, or even 20 to 30 years. After he is educated by us, it will be easier for us to manage him when he returns. In addition, since he has been a hostage in Annan for so many years, he can directly inherit the throne when he returns. Will his brothers be happy about that?

If they are unhappy, there will inevitably be internal strife. We are not afraid of it being turbulent, but we are afraid of it not being turbulent enough."

It's chaos, and it's best if they mess up the country themselves, so that they don't have to become executioners and bear the debt of this evil.

He is a good boy, of course he can't be a bad guy who destroys a country.
