Chapter 404: Good food, not war

The Ming Emperor and a group of co-defendants were escorted along the Outer Ring Road to Zhengyangmen to enter the city and enter Hongwumen, setting foot on the city's most famous and iconic commercial street.

It was the first time he walked on Nanjing Royal Street.

His Majesty the Emperor sitting in the prison car, looking at the prosperous world outside, I don't know how to feel at this moment, theoretically this prosperous world is still under his rule, but he can only sit in the prison car and enjoy it. The same magnificent palace he was going to theoretically belonged to him to this day, but he had to live there as a prisoner......

Well, he had to imprison the palace temporarily.

After all, he was the emperor, and the Four People's Assembly did not have its own prison, and it was impossible for him to find a prison to make do, so a small courtyard was arranged for him to be placed under house arrest in the palace. Before the formal trial of the Four People's Assembly, he temporarily lived in this small courtyard, and Han Zanzhou, the head of the palace, was personally in charge of his diet and daily life, mainly to prevent him from thinking of suicide. This is not impossible, after all, it is still a shame to be judged in public as an emperor, in case his personality is the same as his father, it is not good to find a rope to hang himself, but it should not be, one of the original versions of his ending in history was sold to Dolgon by his grandfather. As for the fact that the water is too cold, it is definitely impossible for these people to enter the palace, they are just here to tour the street, and after the street is finished, they will be sent directly to the Beiya, and Jinyiwei will be responsible for the investigation and interrogation of treason, and they are not emperors, so there is no problem that Jinyiwei cannot try them.

It is said that Yang Yong's pear blossom pestle has long been hungry and thirsty.

The Four People's Assembly only tried the emperor.

It's just that these people must also be present at the trial, whether they are testifying for the emperor or defending them, in short, as co-defendants, they cannot be absent.

Princess Kunxing greeted her brother at the noon gate.

There was no special reaction to the meeting of the brother and sister, even if Zhu Cihong knew from the shouts of people along the way that his sister was ready to replace him, he did not show hostility towards his sister. It is said that he was born in the emperor's family, this kind of consciousness still exists, and Zhu Cihong knows that he is finished, but the only one who can keep him alive is his sister.

"Kunxing has grown up!"

He said meaningfully.

"Brother, Kunxing can't betray the people of the country!"

Princess Kunxing replied.

Zhu Cihong nodded silently.

"Zhaoren, Brother Wei originally brought you some gifts, but it's a pity that they ended up in Huoqiu Palace!"

He then said to little Lori.

He probably didn't know that his little sister's toilet paper had to be sprinkled with rose essential oil, no matter what kind of gift he could give, it was not worth mentioning to little Lori, who now even has her own private zoo, which has giant pandas! As a huge rich person with personal assets of three million, even if she is not favored by her family, she still wants something.

In Xiao Lori's indifferent salute, Zhu Cihong drove slowly to his prison in a prisoner car.

"Unhappy?"

Later, Yang Qing hugged his sister's waist and said.

Princess Kunxing glanced back at him, then leaned into his arms, sighed and said, "You won't really kill him, will you?" ”

"No, who will officiate our wedding when he dies? Rest assured, I have a good place to place him, he will spend the rest of his life in a picturesque place, you can come and go whenever you want to see him or he wants to see you, it's just a little farther away! ”

Yang Qing said.

"You're not going to throw him to America, are you?"

Princess Kunxing said in amazement.

I have to say that the two of them have reached the level of heart-to-heart, before this Beiyang Naval Division has just sent the first pioneering fleet to the Americas, and will establish the first colonial base of the Ming Dynasty in the Americas in San Francisco. There are no colonists there, only some Indians, and Europeans, although they have been to California, have actually colonized there for more than 100 years.

At this time there were only Indians.

They could not stop the marines armed with flintlock pistols and cannons, and it was not difficult to build a small fortress, which was mainly used as a base for the ocean-going whaling ships for the time being.

It is the most important whaling ground.

In just six years, the Daming whaling ship had expanded to the point where it had to open up more oceans.

The huge market of 100 million people, the more and more people who use whale oil after the improvement of living standards, the continuous expansion of the demand for quenching oil and lubricating oil in the industry, and the pursuit of whale candles by wealthy families have made the industry expand wildly. From the South China Sea to the Aleutian Islands, the entire East Asian seas are littered with Ming whaling ships, from large whaling ships affiliated with the Liangyang Company to small whaling teams organized by coastal fishermen, killing in whaling fields one after another. Now even some high-end whale candles have been sold in Southeast Asia, although at this time Europeans were also whaling, but the American continent that runs north and south separates the Pacific Ocean from the Atlantic Ocean, making the Pacific Ocean almost entirely the exclusive hunting ground of the Ming whaling ships.

All they need is more supply stations.

But combined with the trial of her brother, Princess Kunxing immediately thought of the sinister intentions of this man who had long been one with herself.

"No!"

Yang Qing smiled and shook his head.

"He's got a better place!"

He then whispered in Princess Kunxing's ear.

Hawaii.

"This place is truly picturesque!"

On the deck of the cruiser Mu Ying of the Beiyang Naval Division of the Ming Navy, Captain Han Tao looked at the scenery in front of him and sighed.

He was part of the Pioneer Fleet of the Americas.

It's just that after sailing away from the Wa Kingdom, he left the main force with two warships on the way, and was pushed here by the ocean current all the way through the tributaries of the Kuroshio Current, becoming the first Ming fleet to reach Hawaii. It was still undiscovered by European colonists, and it was not discovered by the famous Captain Cook until more than a hundred years later, and there was not even a unified kingdom here, and the islands were still in the primitive tribal era.

"It's a pity that people can't!"

A young officer beside him said as he looked at the natives on the shore who were rushing to a few canoes with all sorts of weapons in a mess.

The brave Hawaiian warriors quickly rowed out the first canoe, and they rushed towards the Muying and Liao Yongzhong behind them like centipedes on the sea, not knowing that in the open guns of the two cruisers, the muzzles of the black holes were already aimed at them, and even the sailors on the deck were aiming at them with flintlock pistols.

"Captain!"

An officer in the back shouted.

He meant it was time to fire.

"Don't scare our friends, we're here with friendship!"

Han Tao said.

"Put a bucket of rock candy down!"

In the officer's stunned gaze, he continued.

The two sailors hurriedly took a rope and lowered a small bucket of rock candy from the deck, while Han Tao was still smiling and waving to the Hawaiians on the canoe in front. The latter quickly approached the Muying, but did not attack, and it was difficult for their bows and arrows to attack the deck that was too high at such an angle, and the Hawaiian warriors led by him looked up at him with a bewildered expression.

Han Tao was lying beside a deck of sailors.

A line of flintlock muzzles was pointed at Hawaiian warriors.

"Eat, eat!"

Han Tao ignored the throwing gun in his hand and pointed to the barrel and said.

After speaking, he gestured to the Hawaiian warrior with a piece of rock candy in his hand, and then put this thing in his mouth, the Hawaiian warrior took the keg curiously, looked at him, and Han Tao stuffed another one into his mouth. The Hawaiian warrior carefully picked up a piece of rock candy, first put it to his mouth and licked it, his eyes lit up in an instant, and he did not hesitate to stuff it into his mouth.

The next moment he let out an excited cheer.

He even threw the throwing gun in his hand, excitedly grabbed a handful of rock candy, and stuffed it all directly into his mouth, and the Hawaiian soldiers behind saw this scene and immediately swarmed up all the rock candy.

Several canoes arrived one after another.

Han Tao and Liao Yongzhong behind him immediately put down buckets of rock candy, and in the blink of an eye, all the Hawaiian soldiers on the canoe that had been violently slaughtered began to cheer. Some people enthusiastically waved to the Ming soldiers on the deck, and even took off their own ornaments and put them in the bucket of rock candy as a reward.

"Look, how good this is, don't always think about fighting and killing, we are messengers of peace, we are here for friendship!"

Han Tao said.

"Good food, not war!"

He went on like a brain-dead.

A group of sailors in the back also looked at their captain with the same eyes as if they were brain-dead, but this is not bad, a few buckets of rock candy solve all the problems, this thing is loaded with a lot of stuff, rock candy is the main tool for the Ming ships to be friendly at sea, and no native can resist its power.

"Little Guizi, take out my boxes of treasured clothes, see what they are wearing, we can't go without gifts when we go to guests, let's give them these clothes as gifts. Put down the dinghy, and a few of you landed with me, and the others continued to stay on guard on the boat, you guys, all put on your clothes, we are Ming soldiers, even here we have to show the image of Daming! ”

He yelled at the sailors.

The sailors, shirtless from the heat, hurried to get dressed, and all of them had pox marks on their shoulders.

"Do you need guns to kill?"

Han Tao looked at the Hawaiians who were warmly welcomed, and muttered to himself with a sinister smile on his face.

"Not at all!"

Then he said.

Ten minutes later, he boarded the Hawaiian canoe to the sound of welcome laughter, and then warmly hugged the first Hawaiian warrior to taste rock candy. And just as the two men hugged each other, in the spittle that spewed out of his loud voice at close range, a little devil that was invisible to the naked eye also quietly burrowed into the latter's body, and began to breed wildly in the latter's body without any immunity......

(Thanks to the reward of the first alliance leader in this book, I will try to add a more.) )()
