Zhu Biao sighed and said: "America is not a wild land. In Han Du's words, this is a land given by heaven..."
After listening to Zhu Biao's explanation, Zhu Di had a general understanding of America in his mind.
Fertile land, a vast central plain, rivers running from north to south, and five major lakes living in it... The weather is good and the harvest is good every year! With the sea to the east and west, there is no need to worry about intrusion from foreign enemies.
As for the original indigenous people in the Americas, Zhu Di didn't pay attention at all. Are a group of people who don't even have many iron weapons worthy of being his enemy?
Zhu Di couldn't help but swallow his saliva after hearing this. To be honest, he would not give this place to anyone, not even his own son. He never thought that Zhu Biao would give him such a blessed land.
"Your Majesty, are you... kidding?"
A smile appeared on Zhu Biao's face, and he said with a bit of narrow-mindedness: "What? Don't you believe it?"
"I don't believe it." Zhu Di shook his head firmly and sighed: "This treasure land, if it were replaced by Gu, even if it was empty, it would not be given to anyone."
Zhu Biao was startled for a moment, then said with a smile: "I will not only give you land, but also people. As long as you can persuade me, I will give it to you no matter how many people there are." .”
Zhu Di exerted his strength and suddenly stood up, and asked in shock: "Why is this, Your Majesty? Do you even allow people to be taken away alone? Ten years of cultivation, ten years of life and gathering, and within twenty years, I will be able to make a comeback. At that time , isn’t the emperor afraid that Gu will be swept in again?”
"Can you?" Zhu Biao looked up into Zhu Di's eyes and smiled brightly.
When the two people's eyes met, the entire hall was as frozen as ice, and even the air seemed to be frozen, making it impossible to breathe!
"Of course not!" Zhu Di took a step forward and said loudly: "I swear by the spirit of my father in heaven! Within three generations, I will not step into the Ming Dynasty, how about it?"
Zhu Biao supported the handrail with both hands, slowly stood up and walked down, holding fists with both hands.
"It's a deal!" The two made a solemn promise.
...
A few days later, Zhu Biao issued an order.
All the culprits were beheaded, and the nine tribes were exiled to America with King Yan.
After roughly beheading dozens of people, a large-scale cleanup began.
When the four northern regions immediately surrendered to Zhu Di, not only were there many officials who added fuel to the flames, but even tens of thousands of gentlemen and landowners also rushed to participate.
Now that King Yan was defeated, he naturally had to settle accounts with these people.
Rebellion was a major crime against the Nine Tribes. As soon as King Yan was defeated, these people were arrested by the imperial army. There was no room for them in the cells, so they were all detained in the military barracks.
These people are all prisoners of crime, so there is no care or courtesy towards them. In the military camp where these people were imprisoned, cries continued almost every day.
In just over a month, the energy and spirit of these people have dropped to the bottom, and they will no longer be as high-spirited as before.
Just when everyone was waiting for the impending doom, Zhu Biao finally came.
"The Emperor has a decree. Only the first culprits will be punished, and the rest, regardless of men, women, old or young, will be exiled to America!"
The eunuch, accompanied by the general of the military camp, pronounced the fate of these people to everyone.
"If we only kill the first culprit, then we can all survive?"
"I'm alive, I'm all alive. I never thought that I could escape this disaster..." Someone cried with joy. "But, where is this America? Is it far away..."
"It doesn't matter where it is! As long as I can survive, I will go even to the end of the world... Where is my poor little grandson, you survived, you know? There is no need to die..."
"Thank you, Your Majesty for your kindness!" I don't know when someone began to kneel down towards the south.
With this shout of thanks, masses of people knelt on the ground like a falling wave, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness, long live my emperor..."
...
Since Han Du was dismissed from all official positions, he was in a very bad mood and hid at home without even leaving the door. I don't understand, I don't know why Zhu Biao has to let Zhu Di go when he reaches this point.
On the other hand, Anqing has become very happy and cheerful in the past few days, serving Han Du carefully. The imperial brother forgave the fourth brother, and now Han Du is the only one left here. As long as Han Du can be coaxed through this level, the stable days will return.
In order to make Han Du happy, An Qing also brought Yao Yue to accompany him. No matter what Han Du's request was, he would meet it immediately.
"Master, Duke Xin Guo is here." A maid came in, blushing and burying her head, not daring to look up at all.
"Please." An Qing's eyes lit up.
They tried to persuade him for so many days, but they still couldn't calm down Han Du's anger. Maybe Tang Ding's persuasion would have some effect.
Han Du dressed up and went to the inner hall to wait. Soon Tang Ding walked in.
"What? Are you still angry?" Tang Ding was not polite at all. He walked next to Han Du, picked up the tea and started drinking.
Han Du glanced at him and asked, "When did you come back?"
Tang Ding put down his tea cup and sighed: "I came back the day after you became so powerful in the world. I hurriedly and slowly failed to catch up."
"What's going on? With the speed of the fleet, you won't be able to make it back." Han Du thought that since the war with the Yan army, the navy's behavior was very strange, and he couldn't help but look at Tang Ding. .
"What? Do you think I was bribed by Zhu Di?" Tang Ding said with a smile.
I have to say, judging from the navy's performance, it is not impossible... Han Du was silent and looked at him indifferently.
Tang Ding shook his head and sighed, picked up the teacup and took a sip, explaining: "When I raided Peiping, I failed."
"Oh? Did Zhu Di move his base?" Han Du was a little surprised. He didn't expect Zhu Di to be so decisive.
You must know that Peiping is a place that Zhu Di has been running for decades, and Beiping City is also one of the few fortified cities in the world. He can abandon this place at will, which shows Zhu Di's determination.
Tang Ding nodded slightly: "Not only that! You also know that the city of Beiping is vast. It is impossible to occupy Beiping with just the navy's few troops."
"I knew it was bad when I rushed in and found that Peiping was just an empty city. Sure enough, Zhu Di had already laid an ambush in the city, counterattacked and occupied the city wall, but trapped me inside."
Tang Ding glanced at Han Du with a frustrated face and said, "Do you know what's going on now?"
It is common sense that the navy was trapped in the city of Peiping and had difficulty breaking out due to mental arithmetic and the strategic location occupied by the Yan army.
"I see, it seems that I misunderstood you." Han Du politely apologized to Tang Ding, "You came to me today, you didn't just come to see me, right?"
Tang Ding took a sip of tea, thought for a few seconds and said, "Is it necessary for you and the emperor to be so tense over this matter?"
Han Du glanced at him and said solemnly: "It's not that I want to have a quarrel with the emperor, but Zhu Di can be spared lightly for committing such a serious crime. What will the princes think of the court? Those people who suffered from the Yellow River flood for no reason What do you think of the imperial court?"
Tang Ding paused and said hesitantly: "But... this world belongs to the emperor after all..."
Yes, this world belongs to Zhu Biao after all.
"Whether Zhu Di rebels or blows up the Yellow River embankment, in my opinion, these are royal matters. As a minister, it is certainly good to be able to advise the emperor, but if the emperor doesn't listen, there is nothing we can do."
"The Emperor has kept his word, and it is okay to pardon Zhu Di!"
Han Du was speechless and suddenly realized that he was not from Ming Dynasty after all. That's because I have lived here for decades, and maybe I think I have integrated in, but I and the people of Ming Dynasty have completely different ideas.
In my own opinion, Zhu Di was so evil that even dying a hundred times would not be enough, but in the eyes of others, Zhu Biao's words were enough to absolve Zhu Di of any guilt.
】
It has nothing to do with the laws of the Ming Dynasty, the ancestral precepts of the Ming Dynasty, or the suffering of the people affected by the disaster. All it takes is one sentence from Zhu Biao to smooth everything over.
In the eyes of Ming people, everything is natural and there is no problem.
But for Han Du, he felt extremely depressed and painful. It was as if the whole world had become a prison, imprisoning his body and soul.
Taking a sudden sip of tea, Han Du looked at Tang Ding with red eyes, "Can you do me a favor?"
"Say, I will never refuse!" Seeing Han Du's rare request to beg him, Tang Ding agreed without even thinking.
"Zhu Di wants to go to America. He can only go through the navy. The emperor will definitely order you to send him there." Han Du's eyes revealed resentment, "Can you help me throw him into the sea to feed the fish?"
Tang Ding jumped up from his chair in an instant, stared at Han Du dumbfounded, and lowered his voice as hard as he could: "What nonsense are you talking about? Do you know what the crime of murdering the prince is? I want to help you, but you can't do it. I'm on the road to death!"
Han Du's mind was spinning rapidly, and he blinked and said, "What does it mean to murder the prince? The sea was very rough, and Zhu Di was just unlucky enough to run into it."
"Do you think Zhu Di is a fool?" Tang Ding said angrily: "I just stabbed his lair, will he trust his life in my hands? Even if he goes out to sea in a boat, he will definitely hide himself Get up. Or create an illusion so that no one can find out which ship he is on."
"Your request is too crazy. I can't help you. Go back, go back..."
Tang Ding originally wanted to but told Han Du to be more open-minded, but in the end, Han Du still wanted to kill Zhu Di without thinking about it, and he also wanted him to be the hand.
Tang Ding couldn't stand Han Du's crazy thoughts and quickly found an excuse to leave.
"Are you still a brother? If you are a brother, please help me this time!" Han Du yelled at Tang Ding's back unwillingly.
Tang Ding paused, turned around, and sighed helplessly: "If it were anything else, of course I would help you without hesitation. But in this matter...are you a brother? If you are a brother, don't let me Embarrassed!"
After saying that, he stopped staying and ran out quickly.
