Chongzhen Dynasty, Qufu.
In Qufu City, the people were filled with happy smiles. Only some people who had been servants and tenants of the Confucius Mansion looked at the soldiers coming from Jiajing Dynasty angrily. If eyes could kill, they would have killed the soldiers thousands of times now. Second-rate.
For these people, who are born with weak points, they are naturally the key targets of the Ming army soldiers.
The servants could understand that if the Kong family collapsed, they would not be able to continue to dominate and dominate, but the reactions of some tenant farmers puzzled the Ming soldiers.
Those scoundrels hated the Ming army, but there are traces of it; the tenant farmers were exploited by the Confucius family, and there were actually some people who hated the Ming army.
All I can say is that this is really a bitch!
For the cheap bones, the Ming army struck hard.
Not convinced, right? Then there won't be any distinction between you, go and enjoy the same treatment as the masters.
After the Kong family was eradicated, all the land held by the Kong family was consolidated under the discussion of the military officials. About half of it was distributed to local tenant farmers, while the other half was taken over by the Chongzhen Dynasty's army. Military fields were set up in place.
The troops from the Jiajing Dynasty have been staying here for more than a month. During this period, they have no worries about supplies. Even Emperor Chongzhen came from Beijing a few days ago to join these troops from the Jiajing Dynasty.
"Greetings to Your Majesty, I wish you all the best of regards!"
The generals of the Jiajing Dynasty, led by Guo Xun and Yu Dayou, all saluted Zhu Houcong, who was wearing a blue Taoist robe.
When Zhu Houcong saw this, he nodded slightly, and then said: "I'm fine."
With Zhu Houcong's "I'm sorry", all the generals got down one after another, and Zhu Houcong's eyes also looked at Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youjian, who was smiling and showing some flattering expressions not far away.
Seeing this, Zhu Youjian immediately came up to him, raised his hands to Zhu Houcong, and said with a smile: "My descendant, Zhu Youjian, would like to pay my respects to Grandpa Gao. Grandpa Gao has been tired of traveling and traveling. Thank you for your hard work. Please move on. I'm already in the hall." Prepare the dishes.”
Zhu Houcong nodded, and then followed Zhu Youjian into the main hall of the original Kong family.
Zhu Houcong was really dazzled by the various delicacies in the hall. A row of beautiful palace ladies stood on the left and right. After meeting Zhu Houcong and Zhu Youjian, Yanyan also saluted softly: "I'm here." Meet your Majesty."
Zhu Youjian looked like he was following Zhu Houcong's lead, and Zhu Houcong also nodded, flicked his sleeves, and said flatly: "Get back on your feet."
After saying that, Zhu Houcong sat in the main seat without ceremony.
As soon as he took his seat, Zhu Houcong smiled unceremoniously and asked: "Youjian, I heard that you have always been diligent and diligent in political affairs, rejecting extravagance and waste, advocating frugality... Why are you so luxurious today, with countless delicacies and beautiful women in your company?"
Hearing Zhu Houcong's words, Zhu Youjian was a little embarrassed.
If someone else asks, even if his brother Tianqi Emperor Zhu Youxiao or even his father Taichang Emperor Zhu Changluo asks about this matter, Zhu Youjian can confidently say, "I have worked hard for so many years, can't I enjoy it?"
But facing Zhu Houcong, Zhu Youjian's confidence was much weaker.
I didn’t enjoy it before because I didn’t have money.
Not to mention the emperor's internal funds, even the treasury has no money. Therefore, Zhu Youjian could only be diligent and frugal.
At first, he thought that if he saved a tael of silver, he would have an extra weapon to put down the rebellion and exterminate the feudal slaves. Later he realized that every time he saved a tael of silver, there would be a corrupt official who could embezzle the money for him.
But now, Zhu Youjian is extremely rich.
Shanxi merchants who collaborated with the enemy had their assets confiscated and their whole families beheaded; corrupt officials also had their families confiscated and their families exterminated, leaving them with no chance of survival.
Nanjing City had been besieged. Xu Da directly left 20,000 troops for Li Jinglong to besiege. Then he personally led the army to Sichuan and Sichuan to give Zhang Xianzhong a head-on attack.
The nobles of Nanjing City copied it again. It can be said that Zhu Youjian's assets have reached an extremely terrifying level.
Now that you have money, you can’t enjoy it anymore, right?
In the past few days, Zhu Youjian could be said to be in a state of intoxication. For the first time, he enjoyed the treatment that an emperor should enjoy. He felt that his previous seventeen years as emperor were simply in vain, and he was deceived by civil servants.
But facing Zhu Houcong's question, Zhu Youjian could only smile awkwardly, not knowing how to answer.
Seeing Zhu Youjian's silly smile, Zhu Houcong already understood the general outline of the matter, but he just laughed it off and did not make any in-depth comments on this topic.
Regarding whether emperors and officials are rich, Zhu Houcong's view is... If your rule is prosperous and the people live a good life with you, then you can enjoy it as much as you like.
If your rule is declining and the people follow you to drink from the northwest wind every day, then even if you eat rotten rice, leftovers or even starve every day, then you are not a good emperor.
For Zhu Youjian, it is a vivid example.
After awakening, Zhu Youjian, although his abilities are limited, at least the people are now better off than before, so it doesn't matter if he continues to play music and dance.
If Zhu Youjian is still the same as before, then no matter what he did, he will still be an unscrupulous king.
Not long after, there were singing, dancing and music, and among the singing and dancing, Zhu Houcong enjoyed a rare meal.
"Grandpa Gao, regarding Chengzu..."
After drinking for three rounds, Zhu Youjian suddenly spoke uneasily. When he was about to explain something, he saw Zhu Houcong looking at Zhu Youjian with a 'blaming' look: "This matter has passed, you said this What to do?"
Hearing what Zhu Houcong said, Zhu Youjian felt incredible and was greatly moved.
Grandpa Gao is still kind to me!
After I go back, I must change the temple name for Grandpa Gao!
Change it to what?
Holy Ancestor, you must be a Holy Ancestor!
The saint ancestors of other dynasties were all posthumous ancestors. For example, the Tang Dynasty posthumously named Lao Tzu the Holy Ancestor of the Tang Dynasty.
In history, there is only one shameless person who is not a title seeker but actually holds this temple title, and that is the famous Kang Mazi.
It can only be said that among the twelve chiefs of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, Kang Mazi was one of those extremely shameless and good-looking people.
But before Zhu Youjian could get excited and was about to give Zhu Houcong a big hug, he heard Zhu Houcong say very leisurely: "Let's talk about compensation directly. What's the compensation you said in the message? I still value this more than a verbal apology."
Don’t talk nonsense, come up with something real!
This is Zhu Houcong's current thinking.
After hearing Zhu Houcong's words, Zhu Youjian, who was still excited at first, calmed down immediately, and the idea of changing the temple name was wiped away in an instant, and then he said honestly: "This junior still has a lot of silver. …”
Before Zhu Youjian could finish speaking, Zhu Houcong interrupted Zhu Youjian forcefully again: "Talk about money hurts feelings, let's be real."
Zhu Youjian:......
Hearing Zhu Houcong say this, he was a little confused now.
for free?
That's it. I, Emperor Chongzhen, Zhu Youjian, am now so poor that I only have money, and I don't have anything else.
It's like this. Although Zhu Youjian is extremely rich, he only has money left.
Zhu Youjian originally wanted to buy some food from other group members at the next group meeting.
Although they won, there were displaced people everywhere and there was really not enough food to eat.
After thinking about it, Zhu Youjian really didn't think of anything to apologize to Zhu Houcong, so he could only say: "Grandpa Gao, my factory here has not started yet. If it does, I will provide you with winter clothes as soon as possible. In addition, when I capture the red barbarians entrenched in Taiwan and Macau, I will package them all up and give them to you."
"No need to go to such trouble, I just need to borrow a few people." Zhu Houcong said with a smile.
Hearing these words, Zhu Youjian was extremely happy. He couldn't help but wave his hand and said to Zhu Houcong: "Please make it clear to me, Grandpa Gao, if you are a member of my Chongzhen Dynasty, you only need to say your name, and I, the Jinyi Guards, will be regarded as heavenly beings." The earth can also find it.”
"I only want three people, Zheng Zhilong's son Zheng Sen, Chen Ding, who was a Jinshi in the 17th year of Chongzhen, and his son Chen Yonghua." Zhu Houcong said.
The former, no doubt.
He is a famous general and minister who is famous all over the world. He defeated the Dutch and conquered Zheng Chenggong in Taiwan.
The reason why he was called Zheng Chenggong was because Emperor Longwu of the Southern Ming Dynasty gave Zheng Sen the surname Zhu and the name Chenggong. Later, he was named King Yanping.
Zheng Chenggong also set a rule that future generations must be named Zhu.
Logically speaking, Zheng Chenggong should actually be called Zhu Chenggong, or even worse, his real name should be Zheng Sen. The reason why the name Zheng Chenggong is passed down is because the Manchus refused to recognize Nanming in order to demonstrate their 'orthodox' identity. regime.
Therefore, Zheng Chenggong, who was given the surname, can only appear in this form in the history books of later generations.
The latter father and son are the prototypes of the more famous Chen Jinnan in fiction.
Chen Ding committed suicide and died for his country when the Qing army broke through the city, while his son Chen Yonghua continued to carry the banner of resisting the Qing, spread education in Taiwan, strengthened Taiwan's education work, and made policies at the same time.
They are all real talents and are very important components of their fleet blueprint.
When he heard Zhu Houcong's words, Zhu Youjian was stunned for a moment.
The people Zhu Houcong mentioned were not ranked at all on Zhu Youjian's side. They could even be said to be unknown people.
In other words, Zheng Sen's father Zheng Zhilong deserves Zhu Youjian's attention.
After all, Zheng Zhilong was a top pirate. He successfully defeated the Dutch East India Company fleet in the Battle of Liaoluo Bay on Kinmen Island in Quanzhou, and became a pivotal heavyweight in East Asia in the Age of Discovery.
It's just that among the Eastern regimes that value land, this powerful pirate who owns almost one-third of the Ming Dynasty's navy is just a small upstart, and Zheng Zhilong also wants to do everything possible to get rid of his pirates. identity, and actively integrated into the Ming Dynasty court.
Therefore, they hit it off immediately, and in the first year of Chongzhen, Zheng Zhilong surrendered to the Ming court and received an official position appointed by the Ming court. He was given the command of coastal defense guerrillas and served as the Five Tigers guerrilla general.
He was not a big official, but this official status was enough for Zheng Zhilong to do a lot of things. He was all over the South China Sea for a while, with a fleet of more than 700 ships, and he was truly the overlord of the sea.
After becoming a serious official, Zheng Zhilong wanted to go further, so he sent his son Zheng Sen to study at the Imperial College in Nanjing, where he became a disciple of Qian Qianyi, a great scholar who was famous all over the world at that time.
Well, the water is just too cold.
It can only be said that Qian Qianyi will be pulled out and whipped again.
His wife, friends, and disciples all refused to surrender, but he himself finally shaved his head and surrendered.
As for Chen Ding and his son...
Emperor Chongzhen really found no such person.
Jinshi in the 17th year of Chongzhen? Sorry, I haven't even taken the imperial examination in Chongzhen's seventeenth year yet. How does Zhu Youjian know who Chen Ding is!
But it doesn't matter, Zhu Houcong also gave the signal.
After all, there are very few people with the same name, whose father is Chen Ding and son is Chen Yonghua, so it is easy to find them, especially those who are talented enough to become Jinshi.
At the same time, Zhu Youjian also understood that the people proposed by Zhu Houcong were definitely famous talents in history, and logically he should not leave them to Zhu Houcong.
but……
Zhu Youjian also knew very well that without Zhu Houcong, his country would have perished long ago. If the talents in the Chongzhen Dynasty were left in his own hands, it would be a waste. It would be better to let the talents follow the ancestors of the heroic martial arts, and let them develop more The bright world plays a more brilliant and dazzling role!
This is what they really should do.
Rather than stay in the Chongzhen Dynasty and rot and stink.
Therefore, Zhu Youjian struck decisively and ordered Wang Chengen: "Wang Chengen, go check the information about Zheng Sen, Chen Ding and Chen Ding's son Chen Yonghua."
"Your Majesty, Zheng Sen is currently at Langya Port, waiting for your Majesty's summons."
After hearing Zhu Youjian's words, Wang Chengen thought about it and immediately reported: "As for Chen Ding and his son, I will send someone to investigate."
"Zheng Sen is in Langya Port?"
Zhu Youjian was a little surprised: "Still waiting for my summons, what is he doing here?"
"It is said that it was the intention of his father Chen Zhilong. I heard that His Majesty was looking for black slaves from Southeast Asia. Chen Zhilong was so loyal that he specially castrated more than 300 black slaves and provided countless alloy, silver and jewelry as gifts to His Majesty."
Wang Chengen said: "Besides, Zheng Sen came here on his own initiative. According to the Jin Yiwei report, this person is Qian Qianyi's disciple. He wants to take this opportunity to intercede for the teacher."
Once you have money, it's different.
Jin Yiwei, who had originally stalled and could no longer play, once again regained their historical speed with the blessing of money. Even Zheng Sen, a little-known junior in Zhu Youjian's opinion, checked it out. Clear as day.
After hearing these words, Zhu Youjian didn't hesitate at all, and immediately said: "Xuan, please come to Zheng Sen quickly!"
"My slave takes orders."
Wang Chengen hurriedly went to do it.
After seeing this situation, Zhu Youjian looked at Zhu Houcong again and asked with a smile: "Grandpa Gao, are you satisfied?"
"Um."
Zhu Houcong nodded, stood up from the dragon chair, and commanded Guo Xun, who was accompanying him at the banquet: "Command the army to move camp and go south!"
"The last general takes command!"
After hearing this, Guo Xun quickly stood up, saluted Zhu Houcong, then retired and began to prepare all the steps for moving the camp.
Hearing Zhu Houcong's words, Zhu Youjian was a little surprised, and then heard Zhu Houcong say: "The progress on your side is too slow. I want to speed up the speed, solve the problem on your side as soon as possible, and get the mission reward."
Yes.
Chongzhen's task here is not difficult, but it is extremely troublesome.
There are fires everywhere and fires need to be put out everywhere!
It is far inferior to the two group missions of 'Seizing the Gate' and 'Tumu Fort Change', which are just a stud, completely dead.
When Zhu Houcong said this, Zhu Youjian could only laugh twice, nodded in agreement, and ordered the troops of the Chongzhen Dynasty to prepare to go south with Zhu Houcong.
Under the military orders, the army quickly assembled and left the camp while the people of Qufu were reluctant to leave.
Zhu Houcong and Zhu Youjian also went south together, with two flags fluttering in the wind and the Ming Dynasty dragon flag shining brightly!
…
About ten days later, Nanjing welcomed their loyal Emperor.
Looking at the dragon banners of Zhu Houcong and Zhu Youjian, the nobles who guarded the city in Nanjing were so excited that they burst into tears!
They didn't want to fight for a long time, and sent people out of the city several times to surrender, but the generals outside the city refused to surrender, and the situation continued like this.
Fight, you can't beat me.
Surrender, but don’t allow surrender.
torture.
This is pure torture.
As soon as he entered the city, Zhu Youjian disappeared in front of Zhu Houcong with his royal guards in great excitement.
Zhu Houcong could guess what he was going to do. After all, Nanjing Xungui was a veteran nobleman and a heavyweight player. If Zhu You raided Nanjing Xungui's home, he would gain more than Beijing.
But Zhu Houcong had no interest in ransacking homes.
After all, the copied money is not his own, so let Zhu Youjian make the best use of it.
He had a more important thing to do.
"Caomin Zheng Sen pays homage to His Majesty, Emperor Shizong of the Ming Dynasty, and wishes His Majesty the best wishes!"
Zheng Sen was very nervous when he was summoned. After meeting Zhu Houcong, he was very strict and practiced etiquette to the extreme.
If he faced Emperor Chongzhen, Zheng Sen would not be nervous anymore, but knowing that he was facing Emperor Jiajing, Zheng Sen would be very nervous.
Because the Jiajing Dynasty specialized in killing pirates, although his old Zheng family had become a good man, he was still a famous pirate leader at sea.
"Zheng Sen."
Zhu Houcong looked at this young national hero and couldn't help but smile softly, then stepped forward, helped Zheng Sen up, and then smiled at Zheng Sen: "I'm in peace."
Facing such a kind Zhu Houcong, Zheng Sen felt a little uncomfortable, and then he kowtowed:
"On the order of my father, the common people heard that the Ming Emperor is short of Western slaves, and hereby donate 500 castrated black slaves, 300 castrated white slaves and Western maids, Silla maids, Luzon maids, and Japanese maids, a total of 1,500 One hundred people, together with 300,000 shi of food and grass, and 1 million taels of silver, congratulate my Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty for a long life, and wish me that the Ming Dynasty will last forever!"
Yo.
When Zhu Houcong heard this, he couldn't help but nodded.
What a good young man.
"good."
Zhu Houcong nodded, and then said: "Select 800 of these maids from Silla, Japan, and Luzon, and I will take them away."
Foreign maidservants are actually a resource at some point.
These eight hundred people can be used as rewards for meritorious soldiers in battle.
Soldiers go through life and death, what's wrong with giving them a little wife? Not the real wife.
Immediately afterwards, when Zheng Sen was about to speak to plead for his teacher Qian Qianyi, he heard Zhu Houcong say leisurely: "Shan, Zheng Qing is really a loyal minister."
"Your teacher Qian Qianyi went deep into Nuer Gandusi to teach the barbarians beside King Li Fulin of the Jin Dynasty, and the Zheng family traveled thousands of miles to contribute to our Ming Dynasty..."
After Zhu Houcong said this, he continued to ask: "Ai Qing, is he familiar with maritime affairs?"
Zheng Sen, who originally planned to plead for mercy, heard that his teacher was going to 'teach the barbarians', and he didn't know what to say. But when he heard Zhu Houcong said this, Zheng Sen immediately forgot about his teacher and was confident. Manman said: "Your Majesty, the common people grew up on ships and know maritime affairs very well!"
When Zhu Houcong heard this, he immediately said: "I want to build a fleet. I wonder if Zheng Qing would be willing to share my worries?"
Hearing what Zhu Houcong said, the enthusiastic young man Zheng Sen suddenly became excited, and then he bowed to Zhu Houcong and said, "This is what the common people hope for day and night!"
When Zhu Houcong heard this, he laughed, and then raised his voice and said: "I have high hopes for you, and I will give you the word 'success'. I hope you will not let me down."
Compared to Zheng Sen,
Zheng Chenggong is more pleasant to listen to.
Of course, for the 'national surnamed master', there is still a standard surname to be given.
Let’s talk about it later when Zheng Chenggong comes and makes great achievements.
When Zheng Chenggong heard this, he felt dizzy and without hesitation, he immediately said: "Your Majesty, the general's family still has several fleets. If his fleet has not been established, I am willing to take my family's fleet of 30,000 sailors to serve your majesty!" "
In an instant, Zheng Chenggong wanted to shed his blood for Zhu Houcong.
He even revealed his family background to Zhu Houcong.
Zhu Houcong nodded, and then said: "Good, I will appoint you as the Commander-in-Chief of the Taiwan Patrol and the Governor of Taiwan. Your father, Zheng Zhilong, will be the Governor of Taiwan. I order you and your son to lead an army to attack the Dutch East India Fleet hovering in Taiwan. Drive them all away and leave no one behind!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty for your grace!"
Zheng Chenggong was overjoyed and thanked him quickly. He then said directly without hesitation: "Your Majesty, my father once worked with my uncles Yan Siqi, Li Guozhu, etc. to expand territory in Taiwan. There has been intelligence information about Taiwan for a long time. Several people under my father's command are in the Netherlands. Serve under someone else's account and become the general secretary of the Netherlands!"
Yes.
Zheng Zhilong has been exploring Taiwan for many years and has fought many naval battles with the Dutch. Naturally, he has already had news about the Dutch entrenched in Taiwan.
The Taiwan intelligence collected by Zheng Zhilong also made great contributions to Zheng Chenggong's victory in conquering Taiwan in history.
However, Zheng Zhilong wanted to conquer Taiwan mainly to establish a state and become the king of Taiwan. He worked so hard to build good relations with the Ming Dynasty court for the purpose of paying tribute in the future. He wanted to make Taiwan an administrative agency like North Korea and Annan.
But it can be said that Zheng Chenggong was dedicated to the bright future and established a country? No need. I, Zheng Chenggong, am the Yanping King of the Ming Dynasty. Of course I want to revive the Ming Dynasty!
Even Zheng Chenggong in front of him leaked all the plans of his father Zheng Zhilong for many years to Zhu Houconlai in just a few words.
Hearing Zheng Chenggong's confident look, Zhu Houcong couldn't help but smile, and then said: "Shan, if we can conquer Taiwan, your father and son will control Taiwan forever for me in the Ming Dynasty, just like the Mu family in Yunnan, it is also a good choice."
Is such that.
How to incorporate a territory into a territory?
One, the massacre, killing all the indigenous people and moving the people inland.
Second, grant a Han prince a title and establish a vassal in the form of an internal vassal. For the continuation of his family, the princes will naturally run this place like an iron barrel.
If during the Yongle Dynasty, after Zhang Fu defeated Annan, he could be sealed in Annan on the spot, maybe Vietnam would still be one of the provinces of China today, instead of watching a group of monkeys jumping around there.
Let’s try it out in Taiwan first. After all, Taiwan is relatively easy, and the resistance is not as strong as that of Annan’s monkeys.
Anyway, Zhu Houcong's Jiajing Dynasty had already started to attack the monkeys. If the monkeys wanted to resist, Zhu Houcong would have to consider another method.
Under the influence of Zhu Houcong, Zheng Chenggong happily left the Fengtian Palace in Nanjing. After leaving the Fengtian Palace, he returned to his ship without stopping at all and went all out to go south to find his father. Tell his father this great news, and then they will attack the Netherlands together.
As long as the Dutch are driven away, Taiwan will be our Zheng family's world!
Zheng Chenggong was very happy.
With the departure of Zheng Chenggong, Zhu Houcong was left in the Fengtian Palace in Nanjing.
"call."
After this arrangement, the mission of the Chongzhen Dynasty will be completed.
Xu Da and Qin Liangyu fought against Zhang Xianzhong in Sichuan and Sichuan. Although Zhang Xianzhong had many capable men, how could Xu Da, a famous general, be a joke? In addition, with the continuous support from all over the Ming Dynasty, Zhang Xianzhong's defeat is only a matter of time.
And here in Taiwan.
Zheng Chenggong, who failed to fight in the mainland, was able to lead his remaining troops to defeat Taiwan. Now in its heyday, the Zheng fleet has more than 700 ships and more than 100,000 people. It can be said that it is easy to pacify Taiwan.
[The third phase mission is completed and the third phase reward is obtained. 】
Suddenly, a voice suddenly appeared in Zhu Houcong's ear, which made Zhu Houcong stunned.
Immediately afterwards, an illusory panel appeared in front of him, and on the panel, it also showed that he had completed the stage mission and eliminated Zhang Xianzhong's forces.
Seeing this scene, Zhu Houcong instantly knew that Xu Da had completely eliminated Zhang Xianzhong's destiny, and he would be able to return to the court in less than three months.
[To obtain the third stage reward, you can choose one of the following two rewards. 】
【Healthy livestock feed processing line and formula. 】
[Spell·Control Thunder. 】
After seeing these two rewards, Zhu Houcong basically chose 'Spell·Control Thunder' without any hesitation.
Compared with spells, unless you directly send a modern metropolis to Zhu Houcong, no choice can be compared with spells.
Along with Zhu Houcong's choice, in an instant, a spiritual energy infiltrated into Zhu Houcong's mind. A feeling of enlightenment instantly filled Zhu Houcong's body, and Zhu Houcong's eyes flashed with purple lightning for a moment.
Immediately afterwards, a set of techniques suddenly appeared in front of him. The speed was very fast, but Zhu Houcong had a photographic memory!
"I see!"
Zhu Houcong suddenly realized.
Although the instillation of this spell is simple and crude, it is extremely useful. The method of use is actually taught directly. You only need to practice frequently to master the 'Spell: Thunder Control'!
"Your Majesty, I am wronged!"
"My Xu family is full of loyal people, how could we do such things as traitors and traitors? My ancestors were given elixirs and iron deeds by Emperor Taizu! My ancestors, King Wu Ning of Zhongshan, were still in the army. Your Majesty did not look at the monks, but at the Buddha. Face, Your Majesty..."
"..."
A long way away, Zhu Houcong heard a wailing sound. Not long after, the commander of the Jinyi Guards, Lu Bing, walked quickly and reported to Zhu Houcong: "Your Majesty, Emperor Chongzhen brought twenty or thirty people to see him. Emperor Chongzhen said, this is We are all members of the Xu family, but because King Zhongshan is still leading the army, it is inconvenient to take action, and Emperor Taizu gave the iron deed of alchemy back then. Emperor Chongzhen didn't know what to do, so he came here to ask for instructions."
What's there to ask for?
Zhu Houcong was a little speechless, and then said: "Didn't the Dingguogong lineage also have the iron deed of alchemy written by Emperor Chengzu during the Jing Dynasty? Wasn't it still chopped off by Chongzhen? Besides, the iron deed of alchemy written by Duke Wei's lineage was in Jingnan that year. Isn’t it useful when times are difficult?”
Yes, during the Battle of Jingnan, Xu Da's son Xu Huizu was on Jianwen's side. Later, when he invaded the city, Xu Huizu was killed, but he survived with the help of the iron deed. Later, his son inherited the title of Wei Guogong. .
Zhu Houcong waved his hand to let them in.
Not long after, Emperor Chongzhen strode in and said to Zhu Houcong: "Grandpa Gao, look..."
Zhu Houcong shook his head, looked at the more than 20 people in the Xu family, randomly named someone, and asked: "Tell me, how many taels of silver does your family have? If you don't tell me accurately, you will be punished by God."
Hearing this, the Xu family members who were named immediately kowtowed and said: "Your Majesty, your Majesty Xu Zhenmin, my family is full of loyal and loyal people. Our family only has assets of five or six thousand taels, and we don't have many servants. Even eating is a problem. Why..."
Hearing this, Zhu Houcong did not hesitate at all. The spiritual energy in his dantian flashed, and for a moment, thunder shook!
"Boom!"
Purple thunder roared in the Fengtian Hall instantly, and there was only a "click" sound. The named person was struck down by the lightning flash, emitting a burst of charred smoke, and fell to the ground, not knowing whether he was alive or dead.
When this scene appeared, everyone present was shocked.
Even Lu Bing, who had followed Zhu Houcong for many years, was stunned and shocked.
thunder!
Thunder!
I, Emperor Jiajing of the Ming Dynasty, can summon thunder!
This old man has truly become an immortal!
"Fairy...Fairy..."
Xu Wenjue, son of Xu Hongji, Duke of Wei, and the future Duke of Wei, was now completely stunned. His expression was unclear, trembling, and he collapsed on the ground in fear. There was even a smell of urine in his trousers.
He was so frightened that he kowtowed directly on the ground and said without hesitation: "...to inform Your Majesty, the guilty minister still has 7 million taels of silver, 600,000 taels of gold, and countless precious calligraphy, paintings, and treasures in his home. , there is a lot of usury out there, the total price is about 40 to 50 million taels of silver... Land, I can't count the land, it's about 3 to 4 million acres, I'm not sure... 200,000 shi per meter , tens of thousands of silk cloths, three gardens, about 200 shops, more than 30 warehouses, and two docks in Nanjing... There are also eighteen gardens in Hangzhou and Suzhou..."
terrible.
It's simply terrible!
The emperor of Ming Dynasty really knew magic!
I used to think that Emperor Jiajing's cultivation of immortality was a joke, but I didn't expect it to be true!
Xu Wenjue finished talking about all his assets in one breath, and other tribesmen also scrambled for fear of being delayed.
Zhu Youjian on the side was stunned when he saw this, and decided to lick his face and ask Zhu Houcong for advice later.
What?
Is corruption in the Xu family so serious?
If he hadn't seen Zhu Houcong control the thunder, Zhu Youjian would definitely be furious.
but now……
After seeing the thunder, who cares about this?
When Zhu Houcong saw this, he immediately nodded, flicked his sleeves, and there was some "sizzling" sound of electricity in the air, and then said: "Take these people and others to the King of Zhongshan. How to solve it?" Let’s see what the King of Mountains thinks.”
"At the same time, we are planning to give a decree to the King of Zhongshan. If Zhang's thief tribe includes Li Dingguo, Ai Nengqi, Liu Wenxiu... and others, they should be spared from death. If the others persist and refuse to surrender, they can be killed."
The people Zhu Houcong talks about are all national heroes who chose national justice and glory and wealth.
Even if these people resisted the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Houcong would let them live and then take them to an unfamiliar environment so that they could continue to exert their energy.
After hearing Zhu Houcong's words, the Xu family was relieved, and the Jinyi guards stepped forward one after another to clean up the Fengtian Hall.
Immediately afterwards, Zhu Youjian licked his face and took the initiative to look for Zhu Houcong. He looked at Zhu Houcong with extremely friendly kindness: "Grandpa Gao, I think I also have the qualifications to cultivate immortality. I may be able to become an immortal king in the future. Grandson." If you are thirsty for magic, can Grandpa Gao teach you one and a half moves so that your grandson can also experience the magic of the Immortal Family?"
Lu Bing on the side also flashed with divine light.
Seeing this, Zhu Houcong immediately flicked his sleeves and said, "Close your eyes, and I will test to see if you have any spiritual veins of immortality."
Zhu Youjian heard what he said and immediately did it.
Although Lu Bing was envious, he just stood aside.
Seeing this, Zhu Houcong said something to Lu Bing and asked him to close his eyes. Then he used his spiritual energy and began to explore the Dantian.
Cultivation of immortals also requires qualifications.
If you don't have the qualifications, it's not impossible, but in this world where spiritual energy is scarce, even if you are extremely talented, it will be difficult to practice. People without qualifications will basically be unable to smelt a ray of spiritual energy for a hundred lifetimes.
Soon, after Zhu Houcong's investigation, he couldn't help but shook his head.
"None of you have this destiny."
Immortality is hard to find.
When Zhu Houcong said this, Zhu Youjian was inevitably a little disappointed.
After all, he was the emperor, so he thought it would be any different.
"You Jian, don't be sad. There are all kinds of strange things in these shopping malls. Although you can't cultivate immortality, you may have other ways out? Just like Emperor Jianwen, don't you box and practice martial arts and keep fit every day?" Zhu Houcong said with a smile.
After hearing Zhu Houcong's words, Zhu Youjian cheered up, saluted Zhu Houcong respectfully, and then continued to complete his unfinished business.
The Xu family, the biggest thorn in the side of Nanjing's nobles, has been dealt with. What's going on with other families?
The massive house raiding operation had begun, and Zhu Houcong also took this opportunity to collect a lot of medicinal herbs passed down by Nanjing noble families. He couldn't help but be satisfied and wrote down the names of their families one by one.
"Okay, okay, I will follow this list later and do it again during the Jiajing Dynasty."
Zhu Houcong was extremely satisfied.
One herb can be used in multiple planes!
This is the benefit of having a group chat. Zhu Houcong has a large number of herbs to use.
With this in mind, Zhu Houcong directly selected two smart little eunuchs in Nanjing to start refining alchemy directly in Nanjing!
In this way, I stayed in Nanjing for more than a month.
…
Hundreds of ships were traveling on the sea, so densely packed that they almost covered the entire sea area.
Ships of all shapes and sizes sailed on the sea. Among them, Western ships and slave cannon fodder ships wrapped in white turbans were at the forefront, clearing the way for the entire Zheng family fleet.
Zheng Zhilong is numb now.
He asked his son to go to Beijing to meet the emperor. In fact, to put it bluntly, he wanted to see whether the intelligence was accurate and whether the late emperors of the Ming Dynasty were really alive.
If he is really alive, then he will give tribute and try his best to create the image of a loyal minister of the Ming Dynasty.
He never expected that his son would actually complete the task.
And it was still overfulfilled.
Create an image of a loyal minister of the Ming Dynasty? How can this be done? He is directly a die-hard loyalist of the Ming Dynasty!
What is the Zheng family's firearms equipment and military strength? Tell the Ming Emperor everything!
According to the intelligence from the Netherlands, which maritime merchants do my Zheng family have good relations with and want to plot Taiwan together? Tell the Ming Emperor everything!
After working for a long time, Zheng Zhilong discovered that the loyal minister of the Ming Dynasty was actually my son.
Zheng Zhilong was not a loyal minister of the Ming Dynasty. It could even be said that he was not a minister. Everything he did was to make the Zheng family better.
In history, Zheng Zhilong surrendered to the Ming Dynasty in order to use the power of the Ming Dynasty and to avoid the Ming Dynasty's continuous suppression of bandits.
When Nanming was established, Zheng Zhilong felt that he had sufficient initial capital. If he joined Nanming, he would be able to become a prince or a prince, but he didn't expect Nanming to be such a good person.
Final settlement...
There is nothing to say about this, it is simply because there is only one choice left. If you don’t choose the Qing Dynasty, you will have to send it on the spot.
He didn't want to die, so the options were clear.
It's just that Zheng Zhilong in history was eventually beheaded by the Qing Dynasty and his whole family was beheaded, leaving only Zheng Chenggong's lineage preserved.
The reason is naturally because Zheng Chenggong has been resisting the Manchu Qing in Taiwan, so Zheng Zhilong was beheaded.
Such a speculator inexplicably became a loyal minister of the Ming Dynasty because of a few words from his son. Although he got the official position of governor of Taiwan, he always felt something was wrong.
And just when Zheng Zhilong was deep in thought, Zheng Chenggong, who was on the side, rushed directly to Zheng Zhilong like a boy asking for credit, and said excitedly to Zheng Zhilong:
"Father, as the intelligence said, the Dutch have indeed stationed troops in Taiwan and Chican. Our army took advantage of the high tide to split up its forces and sail into the Lu'ermen inland sea. The main force landed at Heliao Port and attacked Chican City from the side. , cut off the connection with Taiwan City! In this way, if we attack Chi Jian first and then break Taiwan, the Netherlands will definitely break."
Zheng Zhilong sighed deeply and could only nod helplessly, and then ordered the whole army: "Mingyan, let's follow your plan. You will lead the team into the inner sea of Luermen, and lead the main force for your father, and follow Heliao Port landing!"
"Thank you, Father!"
Following the issuance of Zheng's order, the huge Zheng's fleet soon sailed towards Taiwan with such force that it frightened the merchant ships that occasionally passed by.
But just when the Zheng family officially set off to attack Taiwan Island, Zhu Houcong, who was in Fengtian Temple, received the news again.
[The cool-down time of the group meeting is over. New members will be invited to join the group meeting. The group owner can initiate a new round of group meetings. Do you want to initiate a group meeting and invite new group members? 】
Listening to the mechanical sound ringing in his ears, Zhu Houcong, who had expected it for a long time, did not hesitate. He had experienced it many times before and just said step by step: "Invite new members and start a group meeting!"
[Searching for new group members...]
[Search completed, Zhu Yijun has been invited to join the group chat. 】
[Zhu Yijun, Emperor Wanli of the Ming Dynasty, joined the group chat. 】
