July of the seventh year of Chongzhen in the Ming Dynasty was a relatively calm time - at least during this period of time, the entire Ming Dynasty was relatively stable, and I didn't hear of any natural disasters anywhere.

As for man-made disasters, there will be no natural disasters when there are no natural disasters and the people can make do with their lives.

On the contrary, in order to make more money and live better, many people in the entire Ming Dynasty have begun to set their eyes on Nuergandusi.

After all, the government said that if you go to Nuergandusi, you will go to 50 acres of Yongye field and 50 acres of ration field.

Yongye Tian does not allow any form of resale and contribution, otherwise it will be a felony once caught, but the ration field is sold casually.

Let's not talk about whether the land there is worth anything or not, at least the figure of 100 acres is very tempting - you don't have to spend a penny of your own money, and those who are not active in this kind of good thing are two fools!

Regarding Xia Ezhe's plan to occupy all the land near Yuerhai and immigrate to the real border, and by the way, build a summer garden for himself, Emperor Chongzhen felt that there was nothing wrong with it.

At the beginning, Emperor Chongzhen thought about postponing the repair of the garden, after all, repairing the garden definitely requires manpower, and it is necessary to occupy the cement and steel and other materials that are not much in the Ming Dynasty.

But then I thought about it, the benefits of repairing the garden outweighed the disadvantages, so it was really better to repair it first.

After all, it is to repair the garden for himself, there is no risk in terms of safety, and the people of the Ming Dynasty can do it, without occupying Jiannu, Bainu, Kunlun or something.

And he has a summer resort fishing in the sea, and for the people who immigrated there, he can be regarded as having a sustenance and reliance in his heart - the emperor still has a garden here, so he won't say that he will give us up one day.

That alone is already an endless benefit.

As for the cement, steel, masonry and stone occupied, it is actually not a big problem - bricks can be fired from soil on the spot, and the local steel smelting and cement firing in the Ming Dynasty can also be increased accordingly.

Then Liu Xingzuo began to have a headache.

Originally, he ran to Nuergandusi with an army of 400,000 to scare the barbarians, and he felt a little like killing chickens with a knife - 400,000 troops, how good it would be to kill Jiannu directly.

Now, plus more than 200,000 people are going to move over, the number has become 600,000, not to mention, I still have to bear the burden of a wet nurse.

What's even more fucked up is that there are nearly 10,000 officials and scholars at all levels, large and small—these are the most cheating.

Officials and gentlemen, they play some elegant things all day long, and they look down on their own martial artists—although they also envy the military exploits of their own people.

However, envy is envy, let them really slash people like themselves, then it is better to save it.

Then Liu Xingzuo, who was not in a very good mood, gathered nearly 100 double-flower red sticks under his command together for a meeting.

The requirements are very simple, don't provoke Jiannu, don't cut people by the way, honestly and safely send these 200,000 people to the place, and then cut people.

Liu Xingzhi and Liu Xingpei, Liu Xingji, Liu Xingliang, Liu Xingxian, Liu Xingbang and other six brothers expressed their dissatisfaction - Liu Xingren died in the hands of Jiannu, not to mention that the old mother also committed suicide by hanging herself in order to let the brothers run back.

Now that you have such a good opportunity, why don't you take the opportunity to kill Jiannu to take revenge?

As for facing military law after killing Jiannu, it doesn't matter if he was beheaded by the emperor for disobeying military orders or initiating border provocations and other crimes, right?

In a word, you Liu Xingzuo are afraid of death, the brothers are not afraid, you dare not take responsibility, and when the time comes, the brothers will resist by themselves, in short, this Jiannu must be killed.

After waiting for Liu Xingzhi and the others to finish talking, Liu Xingzuo's face became more and more gloomy: "It's all over?" Can you let Ben say it now? ”

Seeing that everyone bowed their heads and stopped talking, Liu Xingzuo said: "The old mother's big hatred, I Liu Xingzuo don't want to revenge?" If I can kill Jiannu this time, then even if I am beheaded, I will admit it.

But think about your back, the 200,000 people of the Ming Dynasty need your protection, it's no problem for you to find death, don't implicate the people!

Also, think about the people of the 400,000 troops you are leading? Does it have the combat power of the original Beijing camp? Is there a combat power of the new army?

To put it mildly, if you can bring these 400,000 troops and 200,000 people to Nuergandusi peacefully, the general doesn't have much confidence in his heart, and you are still clamoring to pacify and build slaves?

I don't know how many pounds and taels I have? Don't know how many bowls of dry rice to eat? ”

As Liu Xingzuo became angry, Liu Xingzhi and the other brothers were all disciplined and silent, Liu Xingzuo was a little angry, and then said: "When I was in Shenyang a few months ago, the brothers were a little angry, and there will be more opportunities like this in the future. For now, do a good job of the tasks assigned by His Majesty, and don't think about these things! ”

Liu Xingzuo was anxious to train people, Hong Chengchou was already trying to cut people at this time - 400,000 people were not enough, and another 200,000 were added!

Then Emperor Chongzhen was surprised to find that the prototype of passenger trains began to appear in the Ming Dynasty - that's right, it was in the form of passenger transport.

In addition to the fact that there are no bullet trains, no soft and hard sleepers, and no soft seats, hard seats have begun to appear in the Ming Dynasty......

And unlike a row of five seats in later generations, the passenger trains of the Ming Dynasty became a row of six seats at the request of Hong Chengchou, and there were more people loaded with them.

Hong Chengchou said that he was also helpless, and he was desperate so he could only find a way to add more seats and more people, just decorate more at a time, anyway, whether it was the 400,000 soldiers or the 200,000 people, they would not pick a seat for good or bad.

Even if it's picked, Ben Shangshu shouldn't have seen it!

That's right, it's so capricious, anyway, Daming is a Ministry of Railways, whatever you can find fault.

Of course, there are also some carriages that are specially made, which are not open to the public at all, although they are taken care of every day, but they do not appear on any line at ordinary times - the carriages for the royal family are as spacious as they are, and they are as comfortable as they are.

Even the outer steel plates of these carriages are specially thickened, unless they are crossbows or artillery is very close, otherwise they cannot break through the defenses.

Of course, it is possible to be blown up, and no one dares to guarantee this.

However, if this situation is to occur, unless all the iron horsemen of Jinyiwei and Neichang and the three thousand Xibe tribes collectively mutinied, it is impossible at all.

Even Emperor Chongzhen deliberately went up to take a look after knowing about it, and couldn't help but secretly praise the reason why these guys in history were able to come out is not unreasonable.

Look at Hong Chengchou, figure out what you like is called a good one, and the carriage that comes out is called a, there is nothing wrong with it.

There is another part, Emperor Chongzhen has not seen, it belongs to the carriage specially prepared for civil and military officials at all levels, in case the emperor travels with the driver, which is worse than the royal family's, but it is much stronger than the ordinary carriage, at least equivalent to the standard of dining cars in later generations.

Then, Hong Chengchou felt that he was already troublesome enough, so he simply decided to repair the railway to the east, from Shanhaiguan all the way to Ningyuanwei in the northeast, and then to Guangningwei, all the way down, and finally to Haizhouwei, and then two branch lines separately.

One branch line turned south and connected Gaizhouwei, Fuzhouwei, and Jinzhouwei, while the other went southeast to Dingliao Youwei until Yizhou.

As for saying that Jiannu will destroy the railway or something, Hong Chengchou said that he is not worried, the current Jiannu is similar to the grasshopper after the autumn, if it weren't for His Majesty the Emperor's free hand, Jiannu wouldn't even have to spend the Spring Festival of Chongzhen's eighth year.

After Hong Chengchou reported the plan to Emperor Chongzhen, Emperor Chongzhen also waved his pen very simply, repair!

Isn't it just a railway, repair, the longer the better, the more the better, as for the construction of slaves, there is no need to think about it, it can't turn the sky upside down.

And the good news is one after another, not only did Daming not make any natural disasters during this period of time, but even Xinming Island also had good news - iron ore was discovered, and the quality was good.

Emperor Chongzhen decided to refine it on Xinming Island first, and then transport it back to the Ming Dynasty, and then looked at his inner money in distress and secretly wept.

Zhu Yujian, these guys are good people, they found coal mines on Xinming Island and reported them to themselves, and now they have found iron ores, and they have reported them to themselves, and they said that they want to transport these iron ores back to Daming.

Good guys!

It would be better if they didn't need to be rewarded!

But this can only be thought about, after all, the rewards and punishments must be clear in order to serve the public, and a few feudal kings will report it back immediately when they find iron ore, this kind of thing is not a good reward, it will hurt people's hearts.

The problem is that the seven vassal kings on Xinming Island are all rewarded, and they can't be light, so they can't be scolded behind their backs.

In the end, Emperor Chongzhen decided that each prince would reward each with one million taels of silver, and each would give a pair of palace lamps, a pair of jade Ruyi, a jade white jade cabbage, and three liters of gold rice.

This time, it was Ma Shi who announced the decree to Xinming Island.

Although the nine-thousand-year-old Wei Zhongxian Wei Gonggong had almost handed over the entire West Factory to Ma Shi to take care of, Emperor Chongzhen's performance in the last time he went to Xinming Island made Emperor Chongzhen very satisfied, and this time he was naturally sent.

Then Ma Shi was very forced to follow Zheng Zhilong's fleet to Xinming Island - the West Factory itself was a big mess, and he had to go to Xinming Island to announce the decree, and he threw it in two or three months.

Ma Shi, who was already as hard as Cao Huachun and as busy as Ma Shi, felt even more bitter now.

However, Zhu Yujian and others welcomed Ma Shi's arrival - it was really too pleasant to cooperate in slashing people last time, and it was rare to have such a guy among the eunuchs of the Ming Dynasty.

Coincidentally, Ma Shi was also impressed by Zhu Yujian's princes - such a shameless and ruthless guy is not easy to find in Daming.

Compared with these princes, the remaining vassal kings of the Ming Dynasty are just waste snacks, and they don't look like princes at all.

Although everyone has a prince's shelf on weekdays, no matter how good the shelf is? Can it open up territory or expand territory? Or can you feed the people under your rule?

However, these princes of Xinming Island did not have the slightest softness when they cut down the barbarians, and Ma Shi still remembers the smiles on the faces of His Royal Highness King Tang after cutting down the barbarians that day - really shameless!

After announcing the will and handing over the things to the little eunuchs of the vassal kings on Xinming Island to move, Ma Shicai smiled and said, "How is the situation on this island now?" Are the princes still happy? ”

Zhu Yujian smiled and said: "As the king of the Ming Dynasty, I came here to turn into a foreign land, and I was reckless everywhere, trekking through the mountains and forests to serve the Son of Heaven, and I was only loyal and respectful. ”

Zhu Zhuohong was a little unhappy in his heart - the last time it was this dead eunuch who came to Xinming Island and took away one million taels of silver from each family, and now His Majesty the Emperor's reward is only one million taels of silver plus those other things.

It is equivalent to saying that in addition to the palace lantern, jade ruyi, jade white jade and golden rice whose symbolic meaning is greater than the actual value, the remaining one million taels is equivalent to going out and coming back from his own hands, and Emperor Chongzhen is benevolent and not expensed, and the good man let him be!

After snorting, Zhu Zhuohong said: "Don't mention it, I can't find a worse place than here!" ”

Originally, Zhu Yujian's words had actually shown that Xinming Island was a broken place, and if it weren't for his loyalty, no one would choose to come here to suffer.

But after all, Zhu Yujian still said it very tactfully, and when it came to Zhu Zhuohong's mouth, it was very direct, and he almost said that the king had regretted this sentence.

But Ma Shi couldn't understand why the faces of these vassal kings were so ugly—he didn't put on a stinky face when he blackmailed them for a million taels of silver last time.

Curious, Ma Shi asked, "I don't know what's going on?" The prince might as well say it, and the slave and maid should report it to the emperor after returning to Beijing. ”

Zhu Yujian had already arranged for someone to prepare the wine and food at this time, and when he heard the words, he took over the conversation and said with a wry smile: "Even if you report this matter to Your Majesty, there is no way, it is all done by the people below." ”

As soon as Zhu Yujian said this, Ma Shike became even more curious, although His Royal Highness King Tang is only thirty years old now, he is an extremely outstanding vassal king in all aspects, and it must be a big problem for him to say this.

Ma Shi immediately arched his hand and said, "Please also ask the prince to make it clear?" ”

Zhu Yujian smiled bitterly: "What else can it be, aren't the barbarians on this island cleaned up?" The people under our rule began to go deeper into the island.

All sorts of things that I haven't seen before have popped up, some of them can be eaten, some of them can't, but these bastards don't care if they can eat or not, they have to be stuffed in their mouths before they can taste them.

Because of this, hundreds of people have died, and they still don't change their dead nature, they still eat what they should eat, and this king is really helpless.

Knowing this, it was better to leave some barbarians for experiments, but now it's okay to fill in the lives of the people of the Ming Dynasty! It's really his mother's errand! ”
