Zhu Chuanhui did not hear what Yang Jinchao whispered in front of Li Chengdong, but he intuitively realized that it was not something beneficial to him.
Moreover, Li Chengdong was still safe and sound after drinking three glasses of wine in a row. This surprised Zhu Chuanfu, which was completely different from his previous expectations.
Unless there was no poison in the wine, how could Li Chengdong still be alive in front of him? The young prince must have tampered with it.
By the time the little prince finished speaking, Zhu Chuanxi was shocked and speechless. In the eyes of the prince, the value of his beautiful concubines was equivalent to three glasses of wine?
This result was completely unacceptable to him. The prince was so arrogant. As a dignified vassal king, how could he suffer such humiliation?
The bastard Li Chengdong ordered his soldiers to trample his concubine to death. Now, after drinking three glasses of wine, the merits and demerits are equal. Why?
Thinking of this, Zhu Chuanzhen took advantage of Li Chengdong not leaving the East Palace and hurriedly stopped him and said: "Your Highness, you must not be such a child's play! Since ancient times, there has been a saying of killing people to pay for their lives and debts to pay for their money. Li Chengdong first led his soldiers to trample on the subordinates of ministers. I am determined not to forgive my concubine for embezzling the property of my family. I hope Your Highness will execute these thieves and bring justice to me and my concubine!"
In Zhu Chuanzhen's opinion, although Li Chengdong's soldiers trampled his concubine to death, although it could not be intentional, it was still unquestionable. Moreover, almost all of the three hundred thousand taels of silver that Wang Pu took away fell into this person's pocket, and he must be made to spit it out.
Hearing this, Yao Ji let out a long sigh and said sincerely: "The emperor's uncle was kidnapped by Wang Pu before. Li Aiqing led his troops to rescue him and killed Wang Pu, his father and his son, and a group of soldiers. This is considered to have equaled the merits and demerits. As for Wang Pu, For the silver taels that I brought with me, I was not present to watch the battle and could not judge right from wrong. The words of the emperor's uncle alone are not enough evidence. Now that Li Aiqing is willing to offer five thousand taels of silver as compensation, I think that the emperor's uncle should settle the matter. . Otherwise, I heard that when Wang Pu committed treason, the emperor's uncle and his thousands of men surrendered to him without any resistance, and even donated tens of thousands of taels of silver to him. If this matter is investigated, the emperor's uncle will definitely be involved. By then I’m afraid I won’t even be able to become a vassal king, right?”
Haha, are you still trying to reason with me?
How can I kill you?
To be honest, you actually surrendered to Wang Pu, and I haven’t settled the score with you yet!
A dignified vassal king of the Ming Empire was like a pug, wagging his head in front of Wang Pu, which was really embarrassing.
This palace has really angered me, so I asked the Metropolitan Procuratorate and the Zongren Mansion to join forces and beat you, this piece of shit, to the end. Let’s see how you behave.
Do you think I am young and easy to bully?
If you have time, you can ask the miners in Shandong!
Although Li Chengdong has the same virtue as Jiang Quan, he can still be regarded as a general. He also participated in the two battles of "Beijing Counterinsurgency" and "Datong Counterinsurgency", and contributed a lot and made great contributions.
He was not as good as his superiors but more than his inferiors. He was executed just because of a bullshit feudal king. When the other generals found out, what should they think? How can I lead a team to have my hair braided in the future?
If they were all generals like Cao Wenzhao and Lu Xiangsheng, Li Chengdong could certainly come out to sacrifice the flag. Unfortunately, the generals of the Ming Dynasty were inferior to each other and became more and more useless.
If one million taels of silver can be exchanged for one Cao Wenzhao, then Yaoji will immediately spend all the funds raised from the Zijin Bond and exchange it for ten Cao Wenzhao at a time. With another 500,000 troops, the war in Liaodong can be decided in one battle.
Unfortunately, there is no such opportunity. There are only a handful of generals that Zha Ming can recruit who are good at fighting. In addition to the two generals, they are Huang Degong, Zhou Yuji, Sun Yingyuan, You Shiwei, Cao Bianjiao, Yang Wenyue, Fierce as a Tiger, Hu Dawei, Yang Yufan, and Luo Dai. So many people.
Then there are the former rogue generals Gao Jie, Li Chengdong, Liu Guoneng, and Li Wanqing who were recruited, totaling less than thirty people.
The quality here is still uneven, and they need to be reorganized and trained to strengthen their loyalty to the court, otherwise they will be defeated one by one by braids sooner or later.
Li Chengdong's future fate is still unknown, but he must not be executed for the sake of the few thin horse concubines of the king. Then a certain prince will become a fool even worse than the father who dumped the blame.
In terms of committing crimes, the dumper father can be regarded as a role model and benchmark. A certain prince absolutely admired him and made up his mind that he would never surpass his cheap father in this aspect in his life.
He executed Governor Yuan, imprisoned Sun Chuanting, dismissed Sun Chengzong, and abandoned Wang Zaijin. He first tricked Cao Wenzhao and then Lu Xiangsheng, urged Hong Chengchou to be captured, and blamed Chen Xinjia...
Looking at the seventeen years that the scapegoat has been in power, most of the loyal ministers and generals have been "raped" by him. In addition to the notorious "three pays", he can be regarded as doing absolutely bad things!
No matter what you think of or what you can't imagine, the blame dumper has done it. In The Last Emperor, this is the only one where the world will fall apart!
A certain prince can responsibly say that this father alone reduced the size of the Ming Empire by fifty years!
Compared with his last generation counterparts from other dynasties, he is not a bit stronger!
In the end, he had to choose to go alone because of betrayal and separation.
Zhu Laoliu's coffin board can hardly hold it down anymore...
Therefore, a certain prince was very generous towards Li Chengdong. As long as you fight hard, there will be plenty of dog food, and there is no need to worry about settling the scores in the future!
"Your Highness, this...I don't dare to surrender to that traitor Wang Pu!"
Zhu Chuanzhen did not dare to admit that he was so frightened that he would die if he did not surrender, so he hugged Wang Pu's thigh.
"Justice is in the heart of the people. Similarly, I was not present that day. I can't punish the emperor's uncle just because of rumors. So how about canceling the previous matter?"
Yaoji doesn't intend to pursue this matter. If he pursues it, no one will look good, no matter it's the king, the clan or the court, and praising God can only be regarded as a wise way to protect himself.
"...I...obey your order!"
Zhu Chuanzhen also knew that if the young prince insisted on protecting Li Chengdong, he would never get any advantage. He did not expect that he would have such a scheme at such a young age, and it would be really difficult to deal with him.
"That's good, Li Aiqing, why are you still standing there? Why don't you quickly thank King Qian Sui?"
Based on the principle of turning big things into small things and turning small things into nothing, Yaoji became a peacemaker.
"I will thank the King Chitose for his magnanimity!"
Li Chengdong was very grateful to the prince for his protection and finally escaped.
"Hmph~!"
Zhu Chuanzhen just snorted coldly, indicating that he had heard it. Since he could not recover the money, he could only use the 5,000 taels of silver to make amends to buy a few "new horses" to ride on.
I don't know what the price of Yangzhou thin horses is this year. How many "good horses" can I buy with this money? I have to let my subordinates take care of this before I go to sea.
Going to that desolate land in Kuwu will definitely be boring if you don't have a beautiful woman to accompany you. Before leaving the capital, you should take everything you can with you.
Then build a luxurious palace on the island for the family to live in. Even if it is not up to the level of the one in Datong City, it should be similar.
Yao Ji immediately waved his hand and told Li Chengdong to step back. He would have nothing to do here. He asked Dai Wang to keep his eyes open and continued to tell the second-rate feudal king: "Uncle Huang must pack his bags as soon as possible and prepare to go to sea by boat. Once he comes, he can grab it." Arriving at the vassal country before other vassal kings, secondly, we can build houses before autumn. Snow will fall on the island in early September, so the emperor should take precautions."
Although Sakhalin is an island, its climate is colder than that of Liaodong. It will snow in mid-to-late September in the Gregorian calendar. If you don’t know this, just wait and see if you spend time on the island.
Zhu Chuanzhen thought that there was still time, so he asked inexplicably: "Your Highness, why is this? I have chosen a fiefdom, can others take it away?"
Who dares to compete with me for territory? Are you tired of living?
If it were within the Ming Dynasty, everyone would still take the clan's face into consideration.
When you go overseas, whoever has the biggest fist will be the local overlord!
It seems that this vassal king is really a bastard. Yaoji smiled and explained: "Unknown to the emperor, the overseas territories are far away from the mainland of the Ming Dynasty. Even if there is a fight between vassals, the court will be beyond its reach. Each vassal king has arrived. They all hold heavy troops overseas, and unless they can check each other or are far apart, some friction and gaps will inevitably arise over time."
Sakhalin is the closest territory to the mainland of the Ming Dynasty, but the trip still takes more than ten days. By the time the imperial court receives the report and sends troops to assist the landing, it is estimated that the war is almost over, and the winner has already become a fait accompli, and there is nothing anyone can do about it.
Just like the second-rate feudal king in front of me, even if he goes there first, he may be criticized by his colleagues who come later because of his lack of IQ. Unless the two people who come later have similar IQs to him, everyone will be in peace with each other. thing.
"Oh~! That's it!"
Zhu Chuanxi nodded, it seemed that was indeed the case.
Although the imperial court stipulated the national boundaries of each vassal state on the island, it was only used as a reference.
Whichever vassal king has more troops can seize other countries' land, and the court can do nothing.
Zhu Chuanfu suddenly felt that if he landed on the island first, he might be able to capture the entire island.
If the whole seat is not enough, then occupy half of the seat.
In short, it cannot be less than half a seat, otherwise you will not have any advantage if you go first.
Zhu Chuanfu still believes that it is wise to develop in the north of the island first, because the north of the island is a plain and can be farmed.
By next autumn, we can harvest food and achieve self-sufficiency. Doubling our military strength will not be a problem.
Even if the two later collude with each other and join forces to fight against themselves, they can be defeated by their own strength alone.
Once you drive those two idiots off the island, you can occupy the entire island and become the king of the island!
Those two idiots can go wherever they like, and it would be best to go to North America on the other side of the ocean!
Don't blame yourself for being cold-blooded, the fight between clans is so brutal.
After winning, not killing the opponent is already an open policy.
Zhu Chuanzhen believed that he had gained an advantage and could win a great victory as long as he grasped it well.
"Uncle Emperor, do you really want the northern part of Sakhalin Island?"
Yao Ji needs to confirm again, at least to know the general whereabouts of this feudal king.
"nature!"
It seems that the climate here is good, and crops can be grown. It is across the sea from Donglu's territory, and the other party cannot threaten us. It is considered a relatively good territory.
"Then the palace will announce this matter at the court meeting. At that time, the emperor's uncle will need to sign and sign, and then the court will issue a written document to prove it. From now on, this land will be owned by the emperor's uncle personally, and he can do whatever he wants. Pass it on to future generations!"
If the contract can be formally signed, then the Ming Dynasty King can be converted into an island owner.
"So good!"
Zhu Chuanzhen was very satisfied with the treatment of the overseas fiefdom, but there were no decent buildings. He had to bring people there to build new ones, and inevitably he had to lead a group of beautiful concubines to live a hard life for a while.
"After signing the contract, I will send a total of 65,000 taels of silver to the emperor's uncle's residence, and 20,000 taels of grain will be shipped to Dagu. If everything goes well, it is best to leave Beijing within ten days to avoid unnecessary trouble. The other vassal kings had this in mind when they arrived in the capital. At that time, I will announce in the "Beijing Daily" that the emperor's uncle was the first official to regain the lost territory of the Ming Dynasty, and he will definitely be recorded in the history books."
Lugging a rich fool to settle on a deserted island seems to be a great achievement that will last forever!
From now on, Shan Qian will be gone without Dai Guo, and the shortage of cultivated land will be alleviated.
The imperial court was no longer under the pressure of raising pigs, and there was no need to distribute large amounts of feed to the vassal king.
Yaoji's East Palace account can also significantly increase income, which is really killing three birds with one stone.
Speaking of which, I still have to thank Wang Pu, his 88th generation ancestor!
"Then I'll spare your highness the trouble. Thank you so much for your kindness!"
Zhu Chuanzhen was very happy that when he had real power, he could still do some things that would honor his ancestors.
As the first person to regain lost territory in the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Chuanzhen was a little ashamed on the surface, but he was secretly happy in his heart.
Things like Xiong Tingbi, Yuan Chonghuan, Sun Chengzong and others have not been able to do, but they have done it as vassal kings.
Zhu Chuanxi suddenly had a high-spirited and heroic spirit. If he wanted to revive the Ming Dynasty, he would have to rely on the heirs of his old Zhu family!
"It's a small effort, nothing worth mentioning!"
Yaoji waved his hand kindly, saying that they were all members of his family and there was no need to be so polite.
Then I thought: If you want to get out, get out quickly. I will be upset when I see this thing like you. If you don't succeed enough, you will fail more than you can!
If I hadn't been so kind to you and shown you a way to survive, you pigs would have been stewed by the three living kings of hell, Li Zicheng, Zhang Xianzhong, and Dorgon!
Don't talk about concubine, you just can't even eat side dishes...
Even if the "Master of the Qing Dynasty" can really enter the pass and seize the Ming Dynasty's thousands of miles of land, these vassal kings settled in the outer sea can rest easy.
The "King of the Qing Dynasty" is good at land warfare, but useless at sea warfare. There are not even a few decent ocean-going battleships. A squadron of Zheng Laofi can defeat the entire navy of the Qing Dynasty.
No matter how bad the vassal kings are, they are still the seeds for the survival of the Ming Dynasty. Both Huang Taiji and Dorgon stared at these overseas vassal kings.
A certain prince was also prepared for both things. It would be best if he could win, but if he couldn't win, he wouldn't let Braid take advantage.
In the end, it would be impossible to force the Ming royal family to have sex or feed the fish.
I have real relatives overseas, so I can’t beat them to stay out there for a few years and then come back.
Braids are so unpopular that at the beginning of the occupation, they were everywhere.
As long as Zheng Chenggong is available, he can use naval warships to successfully land in Jiangnan.
Only one who thinks about both victory and defeat is the commander-in-chief.
If you don’t want the consequences, that’s Xiang Yu.
This is the worst plan. If Tokugawa is willing to send troops, the situation will be greatly improved.
Even if there are only 20,000 Japanese troops, they can contain one braided banner or two Han banners.
This is equivalent to the Ming Dynasty invisibly gaining 20,000 more horses.
Although it was rented with white sugar, it was still a pretty good force.
They were much more powerful than the ragtag border troops. Thinking of those frontier troops who were eating but doing nothing, a certain prince had a headache. Go to Baidu to read the latest chapters of "The Literature of the Black Prince of the Late Ming Dynasty" for free as soon as possible.
