"Your Majesty, I still hope that Your Majesty will be clear, my Zheng family will never have the heart to rebel......"

Zheng Ying's head touched the gold brick, and a muffled sound sounded, and after a while, the naked eye could see that the blood had oozed out.

"Even if my father's heart is not right, if I think about it, I will have some self-reliance at most, and I will never betray the Ming Dynasty."

Zhu Zhanji asked coldly: "In this way, you also know what your father thinks?" ”

Zheng Yingleng paused, how dare he admit it, and immediately cried: "Weichen grew up in Yingtianfu at the age of six, and in the past forty years, he has only been to Kangju four times, and in Weichen's heart, this Yingtianfu is Weichen's home." ”

Samarkand was called Kangju in the pre-Tang Dynasty, although it used to be called Samarkand, but it was called back to its original name after being subdued by the Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Zhanji believed Zheng Ying's words. He left the descendants of the nobles from all over the country in Yingtianfu, and this was the purpose.

They have grown up in Yingtianfu since they were six years old, and only when they reach adulthood can they have the opportunity to leave Yingtianfu. But if you change from a grandson to a son, you will come to Ying Tianfu as a hostage.

In this process, they have limited contact with their fathers and ancestors, and they will not be affected too much by each other.

Growing up and living in Tianfu, their sense of identity corresponding to Tianfu is naturally more than that of the fiefdom.

Moreover, so many powerful families in Yingtianfu are gathered here, which also makes everyone understand that the power of their own family is not worth mentioning compared to the entire Ming Dynasty.

More importantly, patriotic education and nationalist education from an early age will also give them a strong sense of identity with the whole country and nation.

A frog at the bottom of a well like Zheng Hong, who can't recognize his own ability, can't say no, but there are very few.

Moreover, Zheng Hong was mainly not in Li Liangguo in Yingtianfu, so he had such a foolish move.

He wanted to rebel, but he couldn't get out of the house, so he was put under house arrest by his two sons, which also shows that Zhu Zhanji is effective in doing this.

Zheng Fang and Zheng Bo's behavior, Zhu Zhanji was very pleased, and gave them a lot of points. And although Zheng Ying is the eldest son, he has not passed this test, so Zhu Zhanji has to test it.

After all, he is the rightful heir of the Zheng family. In order to maintain the stability of the noble system, Zhu Zhanji will definitely not mess up the inheritance system.

"Forty years have passed, and your Zheng family is the first to have a rebellious heart, although it has not succeeded, but this move must be guarded against. In your opinion, what should I do with your Zheng family? ”

Zheng Ying's head was against the gold bricks and he didn't dare to lift it. "Your Majesty's mind, the minister does not dare to speculate, and I hope that Your Majesty will be magnanimous in Zheng Jiasan's love for the Ming Dynasty to guard the Western Regions."

Zhu Zhanji said with a smile: "Since the Yongle period, I have not had a minister's rebellion in the 60 years of the Ming Dynasty. If I don't punish him severely, how can I shock the world! Your father doesn't know the overall situation, and I can't ......help it."

Zheng Ying understands that his father will never be able to fall well, and it is impossible to save his life.

Zheng Ying's heart was not without anger at this father, because he had this thought, which showed that he didn't put the descendants of Ying Tianfu in his heart at all.

If he really succeeds, his own people will definitely be the first to land.

However, his father can be ruthless, but he cannot show resentment.

Zhu Zhanji said again: "Zheng Fang and Zheng Bo still know the general situation. I am very pleased that they can kill their relatives in righteousness. But now your father has caused a terrible disaster, and he must not be punished, and your brother must not be rewarded for such a great achievement. As you see it, what should I do? ”

Zheng Ying, who was kneeling under the high platform, knew very well that his answer was related to his fate. If the answer is not in line with His Majesty's wishes, I am afraid that I will not have a chance to inherit the title.

His Majesty will not mess with his concubine, he will definitely set up his own son, and then hand over the power of the Zheng family to the family elders, that is, to the hands of the two younger brothers.

He pondered for a while and said: "The minister's father does not remember the king's grace, and acts arbitrarily, no matter how His Majesty disposes of it, the minister is willing. It's just that there are dozens of people in the Zheng family for three generations, and they have been in the army for a long time. The minister is willing to make meritorious service and lead the 32 members of the Zheng family to serve His Majesty and serve the Ming Dynasty. ”

He didn't dare to bring the topic to punishment, because no matter the thunder, rain and dew, it was Jun'en. As a criminal minister, he has no qualifications to be the master.

Therefore, he can only express his intentions, and first focus on protecting the rest of the family.

Zhu Zhanji doesn't know Zheng Ying well, but the information about him has been building archives since he was six years old. So what kind of personality and what strengths this person has, they are all clearly recorded.

Then taking into account all the factors, plus the impression of him at this time, Zhu Zhanji already had a general impression in his heart.

On the dragon chair, Zhu Zhanji hummed lightly and said: "Restrain the juniors in the mansion, and tomorrow, you will take the train with the personnel of the Ministry of Defense and Jinyi Wei to Kangju." When you arrive in Kangju, you have to cooperate with Jinyiwei and the personnel of the General Administration Department to investigate the case and stabilize the hearts of the Zheng family. When your father is escorted to Yingtianfu, there will be a decree to be delivered. ”

Zheng Ying kowtowed again and said, "Your Majesty, the guilty minister does not dare to forget." ”

In Samarkand, Zheng Hong's house arrest caused a violent shock. Over the years, he has used the Huairou policy to make friends with the surrounding ethnic groups, and even used the preferential policies of the imperial court to be his favor.

Therefore, no matter which ethnic group, including the three major forces of the most powerful local Uzbeks, Mengyuan, and Persians, they are all friendly with the Zheng family.

Zheng Hong was placed under house arrest, or by his own son, and the next day he made the local ethnic groups feel uncomfortable.

However, the two heads of the Fengcheng Hou Li family and the Xining Hou Song family regretted it because they were too cautious about Zheng Hong's obscenity and lost the opportunity to move the Zheng family in one fell swoop.

Now the Zheng family itself has purged Zheng Hong, who has the intention of rebellion, and Zheng Fang and Zheng Bo attacked with thunder, putting some clansmen of the Zheng family who are similar to Zheng Hong's thoughts under house arrest.

Before the other two families could react, they had already contacted the capital, and the next day, they sent Zheng Hong, including the two clan uncles and the three clan brothers, on the train to Yingtianfu.

In order to ensure their safety, in addition to asking the Railway Bureau to protect them along the way, they also dispatched two hundred border troops to Yingtianfu with the car.

Although the Li family and the Song family are also related to the Zheng family by marriage, the Zheng family has always been pressing on their heads, and if there is a chance, the two of them will definitely not mind falling into the ground.

However, Zheng Fang and Zheng Bo did not give them this opportunity at all.

However, the governor's intention to rebel still had some impact on the army, and many soldiers were now panicked and did not know who to listen to.

In order to show his sincerity, Zheng Fang voluntarily reduced his military power and asked Hu Shun, a staff officer, to pacify the whole army.

He didn't dare to put the military power in the hands of the other two in-laws, if they made some random moves now, the board would still be on the Zheng family.

Although Hu Shun has always been at odds with Zheng Hong, he represents the supervision department of the Ministry of National Defense, and has the right to set things right in an emergency.

The turmoil in Samarkand also directly affected the armies in the Western Regions, including the 20,000 troops stationed in the three cities of Tanglin, and now they dare not send troops casually.

This made Tang Lincheng's pressure on them a lot greater......

Fortunately, there was another blizzard in the past few days, and the white coalition troops stationed on the west bank of the Volga did not dare to send troops.

Three days later, the telegram from the Ministry of National Defense reached Tanglin City, and Cheng Anbo Guoang, the general soldier of the Northland, relieved himself and led a large army to replace the garrison of Tanglin City and let them rest and recuperate.

Guo Ang's grandfather, Guo Liang, was a famous general of Jingnan, and was posthumously awarded the title of Duke of Xingguo after his death, but the family was only a hereditary earl.

His father Guo Sheng was rude, incomprehensible, and not liked by Zhu Zhanji, and had been serving in the Changling Guard of the capital.

Changling Wei is a military guard who guards the tomb of the former emperor, and it has always been a place of distribution, and many false titles are also hung in Changling Wei.

After Guo Sheng's death, Guo Ang became an uncle. He studied at Yulin Health School at an early age and achieved excellent results. After entering the Young Army, he was also valued by Zhu Zhanji, and in the sixteenth year of orthodoxy, he was transferred to the Western Regions Army.

But at this time, the Guo family's focus had shifted to the fiefdom of Nanzhou. Although Guo Ang is the head of the family, he is late in leading the army alone, and all the elites of the family have gone to Nanzhou, but he himself does not have much help.

He was the kind of person who was straight to the gut, and he was not liked by several commanders of the Western Regions River Army until the thirty-sixth year of orthodoxy, because the white man had muskets, and the war situation was reversed, he got the opportunity to lead 20,000 troops to defend the three cities of the Northland.

In the past few years, there have been many white people, although he has extraordinary talents, he can't counterattack Zhu Aijun, but he has a tacit understanding with Tang Sai'er, and he has never suffered a loss on the battlefield.

Zheng Hong's downfall, he is the happiest, because he has repeatedly asked for war in the past and offended the coach.

Now that he has received an order from the Ministry of Defense, he has no worries, things cannot be implicated in him, and there is no mountain, he seems to be able to see his bright future.

"Third sister, I don't want to talk nonsense, these 30,000 repeating guns, no matter what, I have to divide 5,000, it's a big deal, when I change clothes in the future, I will make up for you again."

"Five thousand is too much, three thousand at most, not to mention, even if you give a repeating gun, you won't use it!"

Guo Ang immediately slapped the table and said disdainfully: "When I saw Lian Fixing, even the extreme west was not yet born!" When you went to Tanglin City to build a city, you went to study in Yulin Weixue. Your Majesty on that day,...... At the beginning, His Royal Highness went to Yulin Wei to test the gun, and a certain was on the side.

Although His Royal Highness did not change the repeating pistol at the beginning, who did not carefully study the new tactics of the repeating pistol in our current session! I just didn't expect that I had waited for more than 40 years. ”

Although Guo Ang is just an uncle, he is old and has old qualifications, except for Tang Sai'er, even Lin Chu in the extreme west is not good at suppressing him with his identity.

As for Lin Hanlun's grandchildren, not to mention. However, seeing that he was involved in his father, his father was not easy to refute, so he could only stand up for his father. "Old Uncle......"

"Lao Tzu is not as old as your grandmother, what is the old uncle! Today, you have given these 5,000 repeating guns and 300,000 bullets. I will definitely help you hold the front for three months, so that you have enough time to train your troops. Otherwise, if the enemy has 500,000 and I have 20,000 under my command, what can I do against the other party? ”

Lin Hanlun saw the smiles on his grandmother and father's faces, and wondered in his heart, why didn't they get angry when Cheng Amber was so messing around?

He argued with reason: "Uncle, my annual income from Tang Lincheng is paid to you thirty percent, this army is raised for a thousand days, and the soldiers are used for a while, if you want to take the burden now, are you not afraid that I will sue you to the court?" ”

Guo Ang was not afraid at all, and snorted and said: "Your father peed his pants in Lao Tzu's arms when he was a child, and your mother also ate candy given by Lao Tzu when she was a child, and called me uncle." Your kid's wings are stiff, and he doesn't admit it! ”

Where is this, even though Lin Hanlun, who has just graduated, is good at school, but in the face of this unreasonable old man, he feels that he can't use all his strength.

Or Tang Sai'er said: "Okay, okay, I'm afraid of you, an old horseman." 5,000 guns, 300,000 bullets, helped us withstand three months. ”

"That's right!" A sinister smile appeared on Guo Ang's face. "It depends on how the war goes, and if the war is urgent, I'm afraid the number of bullets will have to increase a little more."

Tang Sai'er immediately said solemnly: "Uncle Guo, it's not that I won't give it to you, I'm afraid that you will have a repeating gun, so I want to counterattack." The Ministry of Defense has ordered this time that the war cannot be pushed west of the Volga River! ”

"Those bunny cubs, sitting in the official room of Ying Tianfu, will only command blindly......"

Lin Hanlun retorted unhappily: "This is Your Majesty's idea. ”

At this time, Guo Ang didn't dare to point at will, so he paused and asked, "What did Your Majesty say?" ”

He knew that the person in front of him was His Majesty's grandson, and he would definitely have a chance to meet His Majesty. Since he said that it was His Majesty's opinion, it should not be false.

Lin Hanlun looked at his grandmother and nodded, knowing that it didn't hurt to say it, so he said: "The emperor's grandfather said: It is not difficult for my Ming Dynasty to open up the territory, but the difficult thing is not to lose too much, my Ming people's lives are precious, if you want to fight, you must minimize the loss." This means that the whole army will be reloaded with repeating guns before fighting. ”

Guo Ang faced the east, hugged his fists and said: "Your Majesty is far-sighted, and the old minister is not as good as it." ”

Lin Hanlun couldn't help but curse in his heart: sycophant.

However, he still said with pride on his face: "What's more, the emperor's grandfather also said that it is easy to fight for territory, but it is difficult to govern." If we want to turn all the territories we have conquered into our Ming Dynasty, we must drive out all the white people, and we also need the people to take root here. Only if the people of our Ming Dynasty can live and work in peace and contentment, survive and reproduce, and bring returns to the country, can they be regarded as the real land of our Ming Dynasty.

Other than that, there are only strategic points that are worth occupying, such as Europa's Crete, the Suez Canal, Ceuta and Gibraltar. ”

Guo Ang patted Lin Hanlun on the shoulder and said, "You kid is good, these big truths are clear." ”

Lin Chu shook his head with a smile and said, "Da Lang, don't show off. Don't you know these truths? Twenty years ago, we hit the Principality of Kiev, surrounded the Principality of Moscow, and finally retreated, not because we had too few people! ”

Guo Ang sighed: "It's a pity to see those fat and oily land, but it is abandoned because no one cultivates it!" ”

Lin Chu said with a smile: "Uncle Shi, don't be sorry, when I have a large Ming population, these places will definitely be occupied." Now, let's handle the handover of the repeating guns! ”

30,000 repeating guns, and after he came back, he would give Guo Ang 5,000, and Lin Hanlun was a little reluctant.

But he also knew that Tang Lincheng was only relying on his own strength, and he could not occupy an absolute advantage. They belong to a local force, and it is only because they are located on the border that they have their own power.

But in the entire Ming Dynasty's national defense system, local armies like them are actually the lowest status.

They couldn't do without the help of Guo Ang's Hezhong Army, and both sides were prosperous and the other was lost. So now give them five thousand repeating guns, and let them help withstand it for three months, it will be more beneficial for them Tang Lin City.

After Lin Chu and Guo Ang went to exchange guns and fired guns one after another, Tang Sai'er said to Lin Hanlun earnestly: "Da Lang, your ability is not weak now, it is enough, but you still need to have a few more eyes." Today, your Grandpa Guo and us seem to be messing around, but in fact, they have always been in a relationship with us. Our two families are now grasshoppers on the same rope, how could he fall out with us because of a little gain or loss?

You still lack some experience, you have to learn to look a little farther, instead of being led by others as soon as you say a few words. It's okay if it's your Grandpa Guo today, if you meet someone who is dissatisfied with my Lin family, you will inevitably be used by others. ”

Lin Hanlun's face was blushing and ashamed. He himself is arrogant and thinks highly of himself, but now he knows that he is still tender!

He asked, "Grandmother, do you want to keep a few points in the face of the Gao family and the Hao family?" ”

Tang Sai'er nodded and couldn't help but sigh.

When they first came to the extreme west, Tang Sai'er and Lin San took Gao Yang'er, and Hao Yunzhong was running for the idea of living a good life together.

But it is easy to share hardships and hardships, and it is difficult to share wealth and prosperity.

After coming for less than three years, the whites were repulsed, and the three families were completely separated. Over the years, the three families have continued to marry, aided each other, and maintained very well on the surface.

But because the Lin family married a princess and was promoted to a marquis, and the other two are currently only city lords and earls, they are one level lower than the Lin family, so it is inevitable that they will be a little dissatisfied.

However, on the whole, in the face of foreign enemies, the three can still have one heart, which is already very good.

Tang Sai'er was very sure that if there was no threat from these white people, the Lin family would definitely face the secret arrows and demolition of the other two.

They all want to replace the Lin family and become the leaders of the three cities in the extreme west.

For Lin Hanlun, he doesn't have to directly face the intrigue with the other two now.

His experience is all about training. Three months is just to train the marksmanship of the soldiers, which is actually not difficult, but the number of bullets is limited, and under the training conditions of less than five bullets per person, what results can be trained can only be left to fate.

But Lin Hanlun did not open his mouth to the imperial court, he knew very well that it was not difficult to manufacture repeating guns, and it was difficult to produce bullets now.

The emperor's grandfather gave them two million bullets this time, and there were so many explosives, which was already a special treatment for Tang Lin City.

A few days later, Wu Lu from Tunguska City arrived at Tanglin City with three hundred guards. Lin Hanlun personally greeted him at the train station.

When the train stopped and the door opened, it was not Wu Lu who came down first, but Wu Xun who was dressed in a white coat.

The guards who followed Lin Hanlun were still in a daze, but they saw Wu Xun showing a smile and made a lady's ceremony with Lin Hanlun. "Brother Hanlun, Xun'er is polite."

Lin Hanlun was surprised: "Why are you here?" ”

"Xun'er wants to advance and retreat with Brother Hanlun......"

Wu Lu jumped out of the car and said with a smile: "I will bring Sister Xun today, and when we defeat the white people, we will hold a wedding for the two of you." ”

Wu Xun is not as shy as an ordinary girl, but at this time he still blushed and looked at Lin Hanlun.

Lin Hanlun was only surprised for a while, and then smiled: "Since grandmother agreed to our marriage, your grandfather must have agreed too." In this case, we don't pay attention to those false courtesies, so you can go home with me today and familiarize yourself with some of the situation first. …… Don't worry, my grandmother and mother are very talkative. ”

Wu Xun nodded, and Lin Hanlun gave Wu Lu a punch in the chest. "You guy, you didn't say a word beforehand, you almost made me look ugly."

Wu Lu smiled: "In the future, remember to call me eldest brother, and then talk to me no big or small, don't blame me for setting up an uncle to beat people." ”

"Yo, yo, yo, who's afraid of whom. Settle down and follow my sister, you and I will go to the army, have a good fight, and always divide up and down! ”

Wu Lu directly moved and hugged his neck. "Don't wait until the army, I'll teach you a lesson now...... Oops, sneak attack ......"

Wu Xun watched his brother and her future husband play like brothers, and couldn't help but smile happily on her face.

At this time, she had the leisure to look at everything in front of her. This Tanglin City was built 20 years earlier than Tunguska City, with a lot more people and the support of gold mines, which is much more prosperous than Tunguska City.

Immediately, she couldn't help but worry again. That heroic grandmother, and the princess of Ningguo, are they all easy to contact?

Just as Lin Hanlun returned to the Hou Mansion with his fiancée, thousands of miles away, Monte led three merchant ships along the Rhine River to Cologne, the largest city in Europa.

During this era, Cologne, which held the Rhine, became the largest city and commercial center in Europe, thanks to the Hanseatic League's right to sell goods in Cologne.

However, under normal circumstances, merchant ships outside the Hanseatic League could not enter Cologne directly. However, if the main body is the Hanseatic League, ships can also enter the middle reaches of the Rhine with permission.

The abundant water source of the Alps provides sufficient water for the Rhine, which is less than 2,500 miles long, and more than 1,500 miles downstream can directly enter the 10,000-ton giant ship, except for a few areas upstream.

When the black smoke of the Ming merchant ship entered the hinterland of Europe for the first time, those European buns looked at this giant ship in surprise and let out countless praises.

Today, the largest ship in Europe is only about 500 tons of Clark sailing ship, which represents the highest shipbuilding technology in Europe, but it is only one-twentieth the size of the Ming merchant ship.

So when Monte arrived in Cologne on this merchant ship, almost the whole city came to watch.

However, the first thing to be hoisted from the ship was a black iron box that most people had never seen before, and there was a ring of glass on it.

When Meng Zheng opened the car door and sat in, and then drove the car and started running, many people in the crowd of onlookers passed out.

More mouths shouted God and knelt down reverently.
