Nanking.

"This desire to survive is really strong!"

Yang Qing said with emotion.

The Son of Heaven and his loyal servants and righteous men finally reached their true destination with a series of god-turning operations......

Huoqiu.

Or the Blessed Domain.

Of course, Wuyang Pass will not stop the holy car, and it is only a militia stationed there, to be precise, it is an infantry post of a brigade standing battalion under the militia army in Huaixi, and it is not stationed there to fight, but to guard and protect the tax collectors to collect taxes. In the face of the sudden emperor, they were completely confused, and while quickly sending people to Xinyang to report, they could only open the gate and let them go, and then Zhu Cihong drove 400 miles in three days, along the Sanhetu Highway built in Huangzhuang District of Liaomin in Huaixi over the years, and ran all the way to Huoqiu to find his uncle.

Although his uncle wanted to cry without tears.

Poor King Fu is really at home, disaster comes from heaven, in order not to meet him, he would rather break his leg by himself, almost with tears in his eyes to watch his nephew's sudden arrival.

Of course not because of family affection.

If it weren't for his nephew's strong soldiers, it is estimated that King Fu would have the heart to strangle his nephew to death, his idyllic life is good, last year he sold more than 40,000 yuan of grain alone, not to mention that he is still the largest supplier of meat sheep in Nanjing. It can be said that the future is bright, even if it is not impossible to restore the good days of the year, but as soon as his nephew came, the black cloud overwhelmed his head, and he had already seen Yang Qing's hideous face in the lightning and thunder of that black cloud.

He really wanted to strangle his nephew!

And the Son of Longxing issued his first holy decree in Huoqiu to enter the area controlled by the imperial court......

Ancestor worship.

Worship Emperor Injo.

That is, Zhu Shizhen buried in the imperial mausoleum of Zhongdu.

Since it was the emperor who worshipped in person, of course the civil and military ministers in Nanjing, including Yang Qing, also had to go, and even several nearby vassal kings, the governors of various places, and the governors of the provinces all had to go......

As for this, the emperor first shared his parting feelings with his uncle in the Fu Domain.

As for the Tang King......

He is still sick, and he was bedridden after arriving in Huoqiu, it is said that he is afraid of the wind, the emperor has specially decreed that no one is allowed to disturb him, poor Tang Wang worked hard to protect him, and finally was exhausted, and he should not recover in a short time, in short, he is still

"Duke Chu, this is a tiger from the mountain!"

Li Yutian said.

This is obviously to transfer the tiger away from the mountain, transfer Yang Qing from Nanjing, transfer the military generals from Nanjing, and the rest of Nanjing is Princess Kunxing, and then there is the so-called 100,000 talents, the group of seniors who will welcome the car, when the time comes, they suddenly make it difficult to control the princess, and then use the princess to coerce Yang Qing into submission. Even if Yang Qing took Zhu Cihong to vent his anger, it was useless, the Jiangnan gentry greeted him just to let Zhu Cihong fight with him, once the fight reached the point where the swords and soldiers met, it didn't matter whether Zhu Cihong lived or died. Even if Zhu Cihong is dead, as long as they can take down the princess and force Yang Qing to submit, they can regain power and set up a new one, or simply welcome King Gui to succeed to the throne, anyway, what they love most is King Gui's set.

This trick is clear at a glance.

"Does it work?"

Yang Qing said.

"It's useless!"

Li Yutian said frankly.

The premise of this is that only 100,000 Xiucai have enough combat effectiveness, but their combat effectiveness ......

Don't mention that!

"What are you afraid of?"

Yang Qing said with a smile.

"Summons the escort, since His Majesty the Emperor has come to our territory, how can we be rude, send his holy decree down, and prepare everything that should be prepared for the escort. Order Fengyang's Eighth Army to line up along the Yingfeng Highway, ten steps and one post, if the troops are not enough, the militia will be transferred, and the honor guards will be arranged on both sides of the road. ”

He went on to say.

At this time, a number of new highways radiating outward with Nanjing as the center have been built, especially the one to Fengyang has been completed, and in fact, this highway is still extending to Zhengzhou. This is the most important part of the national highway system in Yang Qing's plan, and he is learning from Xiao Na to maximize the realization of national highways in Daming. Don't underestimate this, Jona rampant in Europe, the basis is the construction of national highways he led in France, the modern road construction technology of Teresagay, coupled with the full support of Jona, so that France is the first to enter the modern road era.

However, Yang Qing's is not the Theresa Gai type, but the Macdang style that follows it, with two layers of medium-sized stones paved and a gravel pavement, and finally repeatedly compacted with multi-horse rollers.

It's that breaking stones takes manpower.

However, this was solved by Huangzhuang, and Huangzhuang organized militia to crush stone in the mountainous areas of Huaixi, and then collected it by the head of Huangzhuang, and then organized manpower to send it to the road construction site with various vehicles. But instead of exchanging money, it is to receive fat tickets, and then use this fat ticket in exchange for guano, which is currently a very important alternative means of payment in Yang Qing's hands. The guano dug up by those prisoners of war was not sold, but just like Zhu Yuanzhang's salt introduction system back then, a batch of fertilizer stamps were printed separately for the payment of various public constructions, horse subsidies, etc., and those who obtained the fat stamps used this thing to buy guano. Because the effect of guano on agricultural production is almost immediate, especially in the main rice production, so the fertilizer ticket has even become the object of speculation, and many people who hold fertilizer tickets simply sell it at a high price for a profit.

In the final analysis, the Ming Dynasty is still an agricultural civilization.

The popularity of this kind of thing ensured that those Huangzhuang militiamen were enthusiastic about knocking stones, and even the whole family often went into battle.

After all, children can knock too.

After school, it's perfectly fine to take a small hammer and hit a pebble that is less than an inch in size.

And it's a long-term project.

This large-scale highway construction has to be maintained for decades in Yang Qing's plan, he has to build the highway all the way to the north, and even to the Western Regions, as for the railway, it is still far away for the time being, the premise of building the railway is steel production, even if the early tracks in Europe are wrought iron, it must also be supported by steel production.

He's a fart at this time!

Don't count on it for 10 years!

It is most practical to honestly play with four-wheeled carriages and roads, and his core control area has developed inland water transportation, and it is better to give priority to steam river boats than to build railways. Before the steam engine and mechanical crushing technology matured, this way of supplying stones with the advantage of human resources would be the mainstream, especially since he also had the organizational advantages of Huangzhuang.

This is very important.

And this fat ticket system also minimizes his investment, after all, guano is dug by prisoners of war and slaves, and theoretically he only pays for these stones for the cost of stationing on guano island, as well as the cost of transportation and management.

But management is internal to the militia.

The militia brigades are responsible for the receipt of these guano tickets, so this link expenditure is added to the subsidy for militia officers.

And he also increased the amount of money in circulation.

Fat tickets can be used as currency, and even a fat ticket with a face value of fifty catties can be bought more than one yuan in theory, after all, fifty catties of guano scattered into an acre of farmland will definitely increase the yield more than one stone. I have to say that Yang Qing squeezed out the value of this kind of thing to the maximum, but it also forced him to increase the intensity of digging guano, and at this time, even the guano mining in Nanhai Zhudao had already begun.

Fortunately, he is not short of this.

As long as Luzon Island is taken, he can march to the islands of the western Pacific, and with Nauru in hand, it is estimated that he will be able to play like this until the end of his life.

But for now, we can only look to the future.

The place was too far away after all.

It's easy to send a small fleet on an expedition.

But if you want to maintain a steady stream of transportation, you have to play island frog jumping, jumping all the way from Luzon along the outer side of the South Sea Islands and finally all the way to the Solomon Islands. The project would be huge, and there would be a lot of colonies to be built, but otherwise you can't expect the merchant ships of a few hundred tons to bring back enough guano.

"Duke Chu, there is one more thing, did we clean up Jin Shenghuan this time, this old guy is very happy to act this time!"

Li Yutian said.

"Add his name to it!"

Yang Qing pointed to the holy decree on the table and said.

Li Yutian smiled and nodded.

If Jin Shenghuan can honestly go to Zhongdu, then he will be considered sensible, and then just like the Tang Dynasty did with the Jiedu envoy, give him an empty position to stay in Nanjing as a Beijing official, and let him retire in a few years, just like he did with Gao Jie. Although this person is not a good thing, and in the end, the anti-Qing Dynasty is purely unevenly distributed, but after all, he still died with the title of Mingchen, if he can hand over the territory, then Yang Qing will give him an old age in the bed of old death. But if he doesn't go to Fengyang, then there is nothing to say, you dare not listen to the emperor's holy decree, isn't this a rebellion? Since you dare to rebel, then the Duke of Chu will have to raid your house, anyway, what he relies on is Xiangyang City, no matter how strong he is, he can't carry the thirty catties of solid bullets of the invincible general cannon, as long as the inland river shipping place is opened in this era, there is nothing that cannot be opened in front of the Ming army.

By the way, it happened to be used to make all forces understand that Chu Guogong was in a bad mood.

"He still has three thousand Japanese slaves there."

Li Yutian said.

In order to show loyalty to Yang Qing, Jin Shenghuan detained the remaining 3,000 Japanese slaves, who tried to resist, after all, the two sides did not understand the language, and these Japanese slaves were still very heroic with guns in hand. But fortunately, a few Cantonese guests in Xiangyang explained to them in Cantonese, saying that Jin Shenghuan just needed to wait for the emperor's order to decide what to do next to them, and even sent some wine and meat, and these Japanese slaves believed it.

Then they were surrounded by Jin Shenghuan's 30,000 elites in the station, and they didn't wake up until the artillery outside was dragged in, but at this time they were powerless to break through.

But Jin Shenghuan didn't do anything.

The 3,000 Japanese slaves were still surrounded at the garrison.

After all, their identity is still the imperial camp, Jin Shenghuan is a wall grass, and it is not that they really have to bet on Yang Qing completely, and they can be justified at both ends if they hold it down.

"Let him hand over the people to Gan Hui, these Japanese slaves are also the imperial camp after all, and they can be regarded as meritorious escorts along the way, let them come to Nanjing to wait for Your Majesty!"

Yang Qing said with a smile.

"Uh, didn't you let them sink into the river?"

Li Yutian was stunned.

Obviously, this is not in line with the style of Chu Guogong, the most suitable destination for these Japanese slaves should be the fish belly in the Yangtze River, but it is also possible to dig guano Island, in fact, on Guano Island in the East China Sea, Japanese slaves have also begun to be used at this time. After all, after years of intense labor, the Dutch prisoners of war died a lot, and some were ransomed by their relatives and friends. However, the Dutch East India Company did not spend a penny to ransom them, and it was all their own relatives and friends who pooled the money, and the navy and the Nanyang Company bought some high-level sailing slaves to use......

Well, it's white slaves!

But this was not invented by the Ming Dynasty, in fact the use of white slaves was common in all countries, especially the Ottomans, and even the Europeans themselves in overseas colonies.

This is not a lie, black and white slaves coexisted in the American colonies for many years.

As for Yahweh......

Sorry, heretics are more hateful than infidels!

"Shen Jiang? No, no, they have a better purpose, and of course, not to dig up guano, and although they will eventually dig up guano, at least some of them still have the opportunity not to be in the company of guano. You send someone to Nagasaki to find the Wakoku side and ask them to explain this matter, and let the Tokugawa family send someone to do something for me, and if this matter is done, I will exempt them from the 20,000 indemnity they have to pay this year. ”

Yang Qing said with a smile.

These Japanese slaves are really useful.

Basically, it can be regarded as a charcoal in the snow!

He is worried about how to put a treason hat on Zhu Cihong's head! Of course, His Majesty's use of Japanese slaves is definitely not treason, and Yang Qing himself bought Japanese slaves to dig bird droppings! Although his doctors have not been able to solve any kind of surgery so far, and the large-scale Japanese slave trade still cannot be released, there is no need to think about digging guano on the island, and the Japanese slaves are the most important supplementary force for the white slaves before the Jiannu captives go to pick up those prisoners of war. Therefore, he can't accuse Zhu Cihong of treason for using Japanese slaves, and besides, King Gui has long used it, and as for buying Japanese women, it has a long history.

But......

Fornication is different!

In other words, where did these Japanese slaves come ashore and how did they get to Chang'an? They went ashore from the Tianjin Military Grain City, under the protection of the Qing army, disguised as Qing troops and walked to the area controlled by Li Zicheng, and all their food and drink along the way were provided by the Qing army.

What is the nature of this?

This is the emperor's collusion to build slaves!

Emperor Liezong of the Ming Dynasty had decreed a long time ago that all those who fornicated with slaves were punished as traitors, as the heir of Emperor Liezong, and as the son of Emperor Liezong, he privately colluded with Jiannu and accepted Jiannu's help. This is disloyal to the country, unfilial piety to private, disloyal and unfilial piety, how can it be a king, the Duke of Chu is the state of Jinyi Wei and the commander of the envoy in charge of the investigation of all traitors, Yu Zhi is the son-in-law of Emperor Liezong, no matter what, he can't sit back and watch Anling be humiliated. Even if it is the emperor, it is not his own eldest brother, the prince is guilty of the same crime as the common people, so he must report to the Four People's Assembly, of course, others can report on his behalf. Although it is true that Jinyiwei has no right to interrogate the emperor, the Four People's Assembly represents the people of the world, and the Four People's Assembly certainly has the right to set up a special court to try it.

And then......

Charlie, thousands of miles away, had just completed the procedure and was beheaded in public.
