The remaining five vassal kings did not know why, and were very puzzled that King Chong and King Zhou chose the north and east locations. However, since they were instructed by the prince, these two places must have their own uniqueness, and they are definitely not It looked so desolate and cold.
The order of the draw is that Hui Wang Zhu Yicheng is first, Zhao Wang Zhu Changyu is second, Lu Wang Zhu Changzi is third, Zheng Wang Zhu Yizhong is fourth, and Fu Wang Zhu Changxun is at the bottom, or to put it mildly, it is called the "finale".
In order to prevent the feudal lord from thinking that the bamboo stick he picked was not good and deliberately letting go, this time a certain prince arranged a wooden sign with Chinese characters written on it, which was turned upside down on the table. The lord just pointed with his hand, and the servant Responsible for opening.
With so many feudal kings watching, they didn't dare to go back on their word even if their rankings were not satisfactory, especially for King Fu. Through this lottery game, it will be seen whether he is blessed or not.
"...Hi~! This..."
King Hui Zhu Yicheng hesitated for a long time before he decided to point his finger at the wooden card in the middle. The waiter turned it over and it showed "three". His place selection suddenly dropped by two places, and his expression froze instantly. Clearly unhappy with this.
"...How can this be so???"
Zhao Wang Zhu Changyu drew the second one. He wanted to win the first place, but he was unlucky. He got the fourth place and became the second to last. Not to mention his expression, even his body was immediately petrified. I don’t know how. Is good.
"Very good! Very good!"
King Lu Zhu Changzi stroked his beard and looked at it for a while, hesitating between the remaining three cards. Among them were the first, second and last cards. The good luck rate was more than 60%, which was considered good, and the one that was turned over For a moment, he also saw it, which was the second one.
"hateful!"
King Zheng Zhu Yizhong knew very well that one of the only two cards left was at the top and the other was at the bottom, but today did not seem to be an auspicious day for him to draw lots, so he gave up the top spot and gritted his teeth in anger.
"Concession! Concession!"
Zhu Changxun, the King of Fortune, was really happy now. He could just sit back and enjoy the success without doing anything. He went from the bottom to the first place. Now Zhu Changxun felt happy in his heart. He still had a calm smile on his face, just a little satisfied.
"...Uncle Prince Fu, please choose!"
A certain prince saw clearly from the side. It seemed that he should have played this game in secret, otherwise it would end up like this. However, neither he nor several other princes wanted to get it, so they could only pay attention to Prince Fu.
"good!"
Zhu Changxun looked at the huge map in front of him and got his favorite ranking. However, as for the situation in "Northland", without leaving home, he was really blind and didn't know anything.
He wanted to ask the little prince for advice, but he couldn't save his face. The prince must have remembered his aloof look before. It was still unclear whether he would be looking for an opportunity to deceive him now. Zhu Changxun was now trapped in a cocoon.
The two best plots of land in the North have actually been selected long ago. One is Kuwu Island, and the other is Magadan and the Kamchatka Peninsula.
Therefore, the four vassal kings, King Zhu Chuanfu of Dai, King Zhu Shenxuan of Jin, King Zhu Gongzhen of Zhou, and King Chong Zhu Youfan, could sit leisurely on their chairs and watch the excitement, and it felt great that it had nothing to do with them.
South of Magadan is Sakha, and further south are Amur and Khabaro, as well as the most dangerous coastal areas.
The coastal area is already east of Blackwater. There is a natural harbor at the southernmost end of this area, which is Vladivostok.
But this place is too close to Donglu's territory, and it is estimated that no vassal king would dare to go there to claim vassal status.
This is equivalent to cramming five vassal kings into three pieces of land, but it requires careful planning.
Among them, King Zhou's fiefdom was the largest. His fiefdom alone was almost equal to the sum of the three pieces of land.
However, they are all completely bitter and cold places, half of which is close to the Arctic Circle, and cannot be inhabited for half of the year. They can only build towns on the southernmost seaside of the fiefdom and develop slowly.
The King of Zhou and the thirty-seven princes under his command could only huddle together for warmth and live in groups so that they could easily obtain supplies. Otherwise, some idiot princes might freeze to death in temperatures of minus 30 degrees Celsius after being left alone.
"I chose this place!"
Although King Fu Zhu Changxun was fat, he was unwilling to go to a place that was too cold. He was afraid that he would be constantly harassed by Donglu's horsemen when he went south. After thinking about it for a long time, he decided to settle in the Amur region.
To the north is Saha and to the south is Habaro. It is considered a southerly area, and the Habaro area is a good place to use as a shield for your own fiefdom.
"Okay! Prince Lu, please choose!"
King Fu chose a good piece of land. It was not too far to the north, the climate was relatively warm, and it could continue to develop westward. The potential was huge, which showed that the fat man's brain was still very good. A certain prince could only agree calmly.
"Your Highness, I chose this place!"
Of course, Lu Wang Zhu Changzi would not be stupid enough to choose the coastal area. When Fu Wang chose the land, he had already thought about the order of his favorite land. Amur, which Wang Fu chose, was the place he wanted to choose the most.
Even if this place was chosen by King Fu, he would choose Saha, which is more northerly. It is much better to be company with King Zhou than with Donglu, and the colder climate does not hurt.
"Okay! Not bad! Please choose King Hui!"
The remaining two pieces of land were both on the edge of the Black Water, one on the north side of the Black Water and the other on the south side of the Black Water. When a certain prince saw the bitter faces of the three feudal lords, he knew that they absolutely did not want to join the feudal clan here.
"I chose this place!"
At this point, Hui King Zhu Yichen had no choice but to admit that he was unlucky. Who let him have a weak hand and got third place? However, it was not as good as the top but more than the bottom. It was better than the two behind him.
"Okay! Please invite King Zhao..."
"I hope Your Highness will show mercy. My servants are weak in combat and it is really difficult for them to withstand the iron hoof attack of the Donglu!"
Before a certain prince could finish what he said, Zhao Wang Zhu Chang interrupted directly. He didn't want to go to that poor place next to Donglu. If he was beaten every day, it would be much more practical to be grounded in the capital.
"I agree with what King Zhao said!"
King Zheng and Zhu Yizhong became the king of the bottom. Of course, he agreed with King Zhao Zhu Changyu's remarks. King Zhao still had a place to stay. When he got here, the prince might decide where to put him, so Zhu Yizhong took the initiative without waiting for the prince to point to him. Attacked.
"This is going to be difficult!"
A certain prince also planned to arrange for the two of them to move inland, but looking at the situation, they probably would not agree. There is no island as big as Sakhalin in the surrounding area to accommodate the people of the two vassal states.
He wanted to send them to Hokkaido, but if he did, he would definitely fall out with the Tokugawa general. After finally borrowing 50,000 mercenaries from the Japanese country, it would take several years to work hard, so he had to give up this idea. idea.
"Your Highness, under the guidance of His Majesty Taizu Gao Emperor, must know about other overseas territories. If it is not the 'Eastern Land' thousands of miles away, I would be willing to go and join the feudal clan!"
The north is too dangerous and the east is too far away.
King Zheng Zhu Yizhong had to find out these two unacceptable conditions before agreeing to the request to move to the vassal state.
"I am also willing to go!"
King Zhao Zhu Changyu also planned to advance and retreat with King Zheng, otherwise he would definitely suffer a big loss. If the two vassal kings worked together, the young prince would probably be more cautious.
In order to send away these greedy, sleepy and money-grubbing "Pig Kings" as soon as possible, a certain prince could only rethink his thoughts and find a decent "pig nest" for them.
"Then this is it. The scenery is pleasant, the climate is almost the same as that of the Ming Dynasty, and the area is eight times the size of Dongpan. It happens to be two islands, one in the south and one in the north. Each of the two vassal princes has an island!"
The place a certain prince thought of was New Zealand, which was discovered by Dutch captain Abel Jansson Tasman in the summer of 1642, fifteen years after he passed the blame. The nearby Tasman Sea and Tasmania Island are named after him. named.
"There are only tens of thousands of uncivilized natives on the island, and their level of civilization is not as good as the natives of Dongfan. They can be easily conquered. Bringing a thousand servants is enough to establish a vassal state."
A certain prince would not give Australia to the vassal king as a pig's nest. That would be too generous. In the future, this continent will be directly under the Ming Empire. A certain prince will build a super empire spanning the northern and southern hemispheres.
It is very interesting to give New Zealand to the two feudal lords. If you are still unwilling to go, I will arrange for you two to go to the Chiba Islands where there are severe storms all year round.
"Your Highness, it seems a bit far away..."
Prince Zheng and Zhu Yizhong hesitated. What they actually meant was that they didn't really want to go, but they didn't want to make themselves look bad after having spoken so eloquently before.
"Uncle Emperor, there is no threat from the Donglu here, and the climate is similar to that of the Ming Dynasty. It is a rare place. If we set out from summer, we can arrive here in autumn. By then, the season here will be opposite to that of the Ming Dynasty, and it will be summer, which is suitable for Build a house. If the emperor's uncle is unwilling to go, the palace can only place the emperor's uncle on some small islands south of Kamchatka. The living environment is very harsh, and this place will also be given to other vassal kings to live. "
If I don't stimulate you, you will think that I am easy to bully. Most of the really good places these days are already owned, so how can it be your turn to move there?
"His Highness has said so, so I would rather obey my orders than to be respectful!"
Prince Zheng and Zhu Yizhong did not want to live on the sesame-sized island in the "Northland", let alone the distant "Eastland". After thinking about it, the new place introduced by the prince seemed to be more cost-effective, so he reluctantly agreed.
It is not very cold here, and there is no need to worry about the threat of Donglu. The area of an island is several Dongfan, which is not bad when you think about it. Zhu Yizhong has no objection.
"I am also willing to join the feudal clan!"
Since there are two islands over there, King Zhao Zhu Chang immediately agreed. This island is far away, but it is much better than being next to Donglu.
I heard from the prince that this hell is exactly the opposite of the Ming Dynasty. I don’t know what the scene is like. I took this opportunity to go over and have a look, maybe I can gain something.
"That's good!"
Five vassal kings were arranged in the north and two vassal kings were arranged in the south. Finally, the seven vassal kings from Henan were taken care of. It was not easy.
King Zheng has ten county kings, and King Zhao has fifteen county kings. New Zealand is not a small country, and you should be able to live there. If you really can't live there, you can go to Tasmania...
The feudal princes who are preparing to set off in the capital can temporarily stay in the nobles' mansions, which are empty. It is not easy to arrange accommodation for these "pigs".
Accommodation fees are free of charge, and travel expenses are paid according to one-tenth of the confiscated belongings. Among them, the palace of the Prince of Zhou has the most good things. The total amount of gold, silver and copper alone is as high as 2.45 million taels of silver.
The King of Zhou also received two hundred and forty-five thousand taels of silver for traveling expenses. If he did not need to give red envelopes to the thirty-seven princes under his command, then these expenses should be enough.
King Fu Zhu Changxun had not been in the vassal for a long time, but his mother Zheng Guifei took good care of his son, and with the donation of the fiefdom, he also made as much as 1,170,000 taels.
The wealth of King Lu, King Hui, King Zhao, and King Zheng all ranged from 400,000 to 700,000 taels. King Chong was the lowest, but it was more than 300,000 taels.
The seven vassal kings contributed precious metals worth six million taels of silver to the East Palace, which made a certain prince very happy. It was indeed a good deal to rob homes, especially relatives, of his own!
This does not include the antiques, calligraphy, paintings, jewelry and other things that are beyond their mansion, not to mention the land deeds that are calculated in units of ten thousand hectares.
Henan thought that the existence of these seven vassal kings had made it so miserable. Even if disasters occurred for many years, without these vassal kings, the disaster situation would be greatly improved.
For these vassal kings who were helpless in disaster relief and suppression of bandits, a certain prince had no choice but to drive them all overseas and declare vassal status. This was the best result, otherwise he would either be slaughtered by himself or by courier Brother Li. Yes, choose one of the two.
There are twenty-eight vassal kings in the world, and seven of them have been arranged this time, which is equivalent to disposing of a quarter of the "pig population". If the king of Dai and the king of Jin are included, the total amount disposed of will be close to one-third. One.
The three vassal kings from Huguang should be arriving soon, plus King Heng of Qingzhou, King Lu of Yanzhou, and King Qin of Xi'an, there will be fifteen people. If we work harder, maybe we can get there before autumn. More than half of the share has been obtained.
Theoretically, the faster the transfer of vassals, the slower the collapse of the Ming Empire!
Of course, this also depends on when the blame dumper wakes up and doesn't cause trouble for himself!
This dad is no ordinary dad!
Not all dads are blame dads!
At the end of the dumping of the pot, everyone is betrayed and no one takes the pot. The pot actually flies back on its own and lands on the head of the person who dumped the pot. It is a unique masterpiece!
It feels so comfortable to say this, and it is all in writing, and I never reflect or review my mistakes in my heart.
Come to think of it, this is something that will be talked about by future generations. The scapegoat knew why the people couldn't afford minced meat, but he was still obsessed with squeezing the poor people, and he did more than the idiot Jin Hui Emperor.
There is such a cheap dad with big ambitions and little talents, who is always pushing him away. He can't save enough 100 million taels of silver, but it seems that it won't be enough for him to waste his fortune!
"Your Highness, King Qin and King Xiang are here to have an audience!"
"Proclaim it!"
What is supposed to come will eventually come, even if you don't want to see it, you will see it. What's more, his mansion was confiscated by the factory guards, which can be regarded as a gift from him.
I couldn't justify not introducing a good place to these two princes. However, good places are becoming increasingly rare. Unless you go to North America, the options are very narrow.
A certain prince simply sent away the seven vassal kings from Henan to prevent them from changing their minds. Looking at the mountains, they always felt that other people's territory was good.
The King of Qin was granted the title by Taizu, and Xinan was no less wealthy than Kaifeng. Therefore, King Zhu Cunji of Qin was definitely no less wealthy than King Zhu Gongzhen of Zhou.
Xiangyang is not much worse than Xi'an. It is said that Zhang Dazongzi captured Xiangyang and got Zhu Yiming's millions of property, so that he had the financial resources to reward his subordinates and let them work hard to attack Wuchang.
Even without seeing the report submitted by the factory guard, a certain prince decided to find a good place for these two feudal princes to stay...ntent
