Chapter 896: I Came with This Identity
"Your Majesty, the minister is the son of Emperor Kameyama, the former Fuso Go, and his name is Hengshi."
"You are a descendant of the original monarch of Fuso, no wonder, no wonder." Yun Xi was stunned for a moment and sighed.
He also knew the Nanmu family, after all, this family has become synonymous with loyalty in Fuso, not only because Nanmu Zhengcheng, but his son later died for the country's loyalty, and he is very famous in this era. The person who I came to drive the Nanmu family must be a descendant of the original Southern Dynasty bigwigs, but I still didn't expect him to be the son of the monarch.
"No, as the son of the king, there should be a record. Even if you hid when the Northern and Southern Dynasties merged into one, you said that you had passed away and stole beams and changed pillars, where did you learn your martial arts?
"Also, I remember that when I first met you, you were extremely depressed, and you were a pirate before, even if you lost your status as a prince, you also had the help of various families, how could you not be like this? What the hell is going on? Yunxi asked.
He was suddenly curious about the past of this man who claimed that his real name was Hengshi. Think about it, at first it was a prince, but then it was so down, what happened in the middle?
Now that Hengshi has already told his identity, the story in the middle will be roughly told. "Chen was born in the fourth year of Hongwu in the Ming Dynasty and was the second son of his father. The minister liked to practice martial arts since he was a child, so his father invited a samurai with strong martial arts skills to teach the minister martial arts. ”
"......, the twenty-five years of Hongwu in the Ming Dynasty, the north and the south were combined into one. At that time, the minister was very dissatisfied with this decision, and after a few days of arguing, he could not change his father's decision, so he decided to kill the people sent by Gen Yoshimitsu to make peace on the second day, so that the peace could not be reached; But he was discovered by his father, and his father's repeated persuasion was useless, and finally said to his minister: 'Hengshi, since you are like this, your father cannot keep you by his side and let you go to Kyoto together. If you are to be locked up in the four countries, I am afraid you will not want to. Then you can go outside, whether it's to the Ryukyus or other countries. Then his father falsely claimed that the minister had died, and removed his status as a minister and changed him to a son of a low-class samurai family. The minister was also posthumously named the prince and called Prince Qingtai. ”
Later, with the help of Fuso samurai who had been pirates at sea, he joined a group of pirates, and spent several years fighting and killing. But then he got tired of such days, and it happened that the minister's right eye was injured, so he went to Ryukyu to recuperate. Within a few months, I heard that Daming opened the sea, so I came to Daming's city. Later, it was time to see Your Majesty. ”
Hengshi said it very briefly, but the amount of information contained is very large, and it is bizarre enough, if the story is really unfolded, it is estimated that eighty episodes of TV series will not be enough, and there will be more than 100 episodes.
Yun Xi didn't pay much attention to this, but asked again: "Since you are like this, why did you want to join the Ming army in the first place?" Don't you feel like you've lost your identity? ”
"Martial arts, the dry city of the country, although the status of the military generals in the Central Plains is not as good as before, but the minister Fusang is still the same as in ancient times, so there is nothing to lose his identity, not to mention that many princes and princes of the Ming Dynasty also practice martial arts and fight."
"As for why I joined the Ming army, I wanted to learn the martial arts in the Ming army at the beginning, and I also wanted to see the difference between the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty and the ministers of Fusang."
But then, he remembered the samurai who had been with him for many years. After the unification of the Northern and Southern Dynasties, Gen Yoshimitsu used the samurai of the Northern Dynasties no matter whether he promoted officials or appointed military generals, and the samurai of the Southern Dynasties were not only those who had a generational territory but also had no worries about food and clothing, and those who did not have a hereditary territory were living in poverty. There are many pirates in Fuso, and there is also such a reason. ”
"The Central Plains, on the other hand, was very rich, and even ordinary people lived better than these down-and-out samurai. If these people recognized by the minister could come to the Central Plains, they would be willing even if they did not have the identity of a samurai, so the minister wanted to let them come to the Central Plains to collect grain for the Ming Dynasty. ”
"But many people came to the Ming Dynasty and I am afraid that the government will not dare to accept it, so the minister recruited them to fight for the Ming Dynasty before the battle against Annan, and later became the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty, whether they were assigned to the fields for the farmers, it was better than being poor in Fusang."
"Previously, the minister had made a compromise to His Majesty, asking for permission to allow the families of the Fusang people who died in the Ming Dynasty to move to the Ming Dynasty and become the people of the Ming Dynasty, but His Majesty has not yet replied. The minister didn't know what His Majesty was afraid of, but here he once again asked His Majesty to allow their families to move to Daming, whether it was a military household or a farmer's household. Speaking of which, Hengshi knelt down and pleaded.
Hengshi not only answered Yun Xi's question, answered the next question that Yun Xi was about to ask, but also made a request again, which made Yun Xi stop asking and think about it.
If you want to say that there are Fuso people to fight for him, of course he is willing. The population of Fuso is about 10 million, and there are more than 100,000 samurai, which are still recognized by the state, if you count those who have lost their samurai status for various reasons or wild samurai, there must be three or four hundred thousand, as long as they can pull out 100,000 people to fight for him, how many soldiers can be injured by the Ming Dynasty!
But he was not very happy to let these people move to Daming. It's not just the subconscious mind that is at work, because the Fusang people were too many pirates before and gave a very bad impression to the Ming officials and people.
Yun Xi thought for a long time before he said: "I have also seen your excerpt, but because there have never been so many people from other countries who have made contributions to the Ming Dynasty, especially you Fusang people, so I am hesitant about how to deal with it." ”
"However, for the sake of their sacrifice for the Ming Dynasty, I have decided: those who have made contributions to the Ming Dynasty can be allowed to become the people of the Ming Dynasty, and their families can also move to the Ming Dynasty, but they can only be wives and concubines, children and parents, and brothers cannot be."
"And they can also be promoted by virtue of their merits, and those who have made great contributions can also be given hereditary titles. What I said in the port the day before yesterday was definitely not for the sake of the heart of An Annan's general, as long as I become a soldier of the Ming Dynasty, I will definitely treat everyone equally. ”
"That one is called Nanmu Zhengcheng, and I have crowned him as a hereditary thousand households; Beibi Yuanxin, I was crowned as a hereditary deputy thousand households. The rest of the people, if they are willing to stay in the Ming Dynasty as generals, I will appoint them to official positions. ”
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Hengshi kowtowed and said.
"Get up, I don't like generals kneeling around." Yun Xi said.
After Hengshi stood up, Yun Xi asked a few more questions, almost understood his identity, and asked, "What do you want in the future?" Do you want to stay in Daming as a general, or how? If you are willing to stay in the Ming Dynasty as a general, you have been discovered by the Fusang envoy, and it doesn't matter if you are discovered, even if Yuan Yoshimitsu sends someone to find you, I will never agree. ”
"Your Majesty, the minister is willing to stay in Daming as a general. The minister returned to Fusang, but he was just a prince who was not free, and Yuan Yiman was more afraid of the minister because of this experience of the minister, and he might die of a violent illness one day, how could he stay in Daming and be happy? What's more, the minister can also help the people who come to Daming in Daming, so the minister is willing to stay in Daming as a general. ”
"Since you are willing to stay in Daming as a general, then your previous identity in Fusang cannot be used, and you had better stop calling yourself me here, and give you an ordinary name. I heard that your original royal family in Fusang did not have a surname, so I gave you the surname Zhu, and as for the name, you don't need to change it, just call it Hengshi. Yun Xi said.
Hengshi was stunned for a moment, although his expression immediately changed to expressionless, Yun Xi still noticed the unwilling look that flashed by him just now. However, it was not unexpected, Hengshi finally accepted his surname: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for giving you your surname." ”
Yun Xi also noticed that after Hengshi accepted his surname, he breathed a sigh of relief as if a big stone had been placed on his chest.
When he stood up again, Yun Xi was about to ask, and suddenly said with a little embarrassment: "You wait a minute, I will come when I go." Then he immediately got up and walked out of the palace with a smoke. Hengshi didn't react at first, and immediately covered his mouth with his hand to prevent himself from laughing.
Wang Xi instructed the little eunuch to entertain Hengshi, and immediately chased him out, and when he caught up with him, he just took two breaths, looked at all sides, and felt that something was wrong, so he hurriedly reminded in a low voice: "Your Majesty, the place to change clothes is over there, and what is here is used by our subordinates." ”
"What kind of place to change clothes, I am not here to congratulate, you immediately let the Fusang envoy come to this palace," Yun Xi casually pointed to a room next to him and ordered.
Wang Xi understood what Yun Xi meant at this time, and agreed, but he still couldn't help complaining: "It's just a little Fusang person, what is it worth even if it's a prince?" Let Your Majesty take a lot of pain. ”
"You know, he's going to be of great use in the future. Don't go and pass them over. Yun Xi scolded with a smile and walked into the room. The little eunuch who followed immediately followed and served.
Soon, Hino Shinaki and another person walked in, and when they saw Yun Xi, they knelt down and saluted, and Yun Xi immediately asked after they finished saluting, "What is my identity here?" ”
Hino Shin said in his heart: "Why is the emperor of the Ming Kingdom so anxious today, doesn't he always ask questions after greetings on weekdays?" It seems that he is also very curious about the identity of my origin, so he is so urgent. ’
"Your Majesty, don't hide it from Your Majesty, this person is really the son of my Fusang Yuan monarch, I have seen him since I was a child, even if he is blind in one eye, he can recognize him."
Yun Xi pretended to be slightly surprised and asked, "Then how did he become like this?" ”
"Your Majesty, the minister doesn't know. In the subject country, he always thought that he was dead, and he also erected a tombstone to posthumously be crowned prince. Hino Shinaki said.
Yoon-hee confirmed Hengshi's true identity, and without much ink, he let them go down.
After that, Yun Xi returned to the room just now, and encouraged Heng Shi a few words, so that he didn't have to worry, and he was at ease in Daming.
At this time, Wang Xi suddenly said: "Your Majesty, you have also decided to summon Li Jinglong, and now the time is almost up." ”
"That's it?" Yun Xi looked sideways at Ke Leak, and said to Heng Shi: "I still have something to do, so you can step back first." ”
"Your Majesty," Hengshi did not immediately retreat, but said, "Your Majesty, the minister has a matter to ask Your Majesty. The minister also knows many Fuso warriors who have no food and clothing, if they have to fight with other countries in the future, can Your Majesty allow the minister to recruit them to serve the Ming Dynasty? ”
"This," Yun Xi pondered for a long time before he said, "Well, I will promise you." ”
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Hengshi knelt down and said. He didn't see Yun Xi's expression that flashed just now.
