Section 735 Please ask Hong Xiuquan for a favor

Zhu Jinglun also did not expect that the situation would really come to this point. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

At this time, the whole world was still waiting for the Ming Dynasty to declare war, but the war had already broken out in Zhu Jinglun's heart.

War with the United States, this is a matter of time, as long as the Ming wants to make a difference in this world, it cannot tolerate the development of the United States as it has historically.

But he really didn't expect it to be so soon, he thought that the Americans would be cautious about taking a tough stance on the United States, and he remembered that the Americans rejected the Japanese but after the Russo-Japanese War, in 1907, under the public opinion atmosphere of the strong rejection of Japanese immigrants in the United States, the Americans and Japan reached a gentlemen's agreement, Japan restricted the number of immigrants to the United States, basically only between relatives, and the United States allowed Japanese family women to immigrate to the United States.

It was not until 1924 that the treaty was bankrupt when the United States issued a complete ban on Asian immigration. Zhu Jinglun thought that the United States would accept certain concessions from the Ming Dynasty and continue to allow Chinese immigrants. Unexpectedly, they did so decisively, and even directly issued a decree to completely ban Ming immigrants, and also did not allow Chinese who left the United States to cross the border to enter the United States again, which is equivalent to cutting off more than one million Chinese immigrants from China, and they either choose to abandon the United States or choose to abandon the motherland.

Under these circumstances, Zhu Jinglun knew that war was inevitable. From the moment he allowed Hurd to give an ultimatum, Zhu Jinglun knew that war was inevitable. Because he knows the United States very well, he knows that in that political form, the space for politicians to operate is limited. As an Englishman, Hurd didn't know much about it, but if he were a Frenchman, he probably knew the situation very well.

But at the beginning, when Zhu Jinglun asked Hurd to take war as the bottom line, he really just cheered Hurd up, hoping that his attitude would be tougher, but he didn't want the Americans to care about Daming's toughness at all. At least they didn't treat Daming as a powerful country that could be equal to them.

This made Zhu Jinglun's heart very sad, he felt a kind of loneliness that was not accepted by the mainstream international forces, perhaps it was in this mentality that the leaders of New China chose to make friends with black countries in Africa.

After the US president signed the decree, Zhu Jinglun immediately came to an ancestral hall in Hua County, Guangzhou.

This is a small one, but there are carved dragons everywhere, the ancestral hall of high specifications, because the dragon pattern is not used by ordinary people, Jin Shang only dares to use this pattern in the guild hall, and the guild hall has to enshrine the martial saint Guan Yu.

The reason why this ancestral hall dares to use the dragon shape is because a person who has been an emperor is buried here, Hong Xiuquan, the king of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom.

There are almost all the people around the ancestral hall, and they are some Taiping soldiers who left for Hong Xiuquan to guard the tomb.

Among them, the most important ones are two middle-aged people who are about forty years old, because they were also the princes of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom.

They are Li Xiucheng's youngest son, Li Rongfa, and Hong Xiuquan's son, Hong Tianguifu.

Hong Tianguifu gave his father a natural guardian spirit, but Li Rongfa was under the order of Li Xiucheng to guard the spirit, Li Xiucheng decided to go to the Americas alone, leaving his two sons in Daming, he knew that if he stayed, the Ming Emperor would not be at ease, so he had to go, only if he left, his two sons could live better.

A few years later, he established himself in the United States and found that life in the United States was better than in Daming, while his two sons were deceived by profiteers into bad habits and lost their fortunes.

So Li Xiucheng asked his younger son to stay in Hong Xiuquan's ancestral hall to guard his spirit, and let his eldest son come to the United States to join him.

Hong Xiuquan's ancestral hall is on a hill on the outskirts of Huaxian County, these guardians are sensitive, and no one among the locals wants to contact them, so their lives are very low-key, although they can't say that they can't survive, in fact, they are relatively rich, the Ming government did not take their property, as long as they don't mess around, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom left those wealth enough for them to eat for a few lifetimes.

Hong Xiuquan's tomb is behind the ancestral hall, surrounded by a circle of locust trees and pine trees, and a large seal in the middle, although it is not as good as the real emperor, but it is still very standard compared to the small people.

Zhu Jinglun came to pay homage to the mausoleum, Hong Tianguifu and Li Rongfa followed closely, and other Taiping Army veterans were blocked outside, and it was impossible for Zhu Jinglun to bring the guards with him to allow them to approach.

After worshipping Hong Xiuquan in a proper manner, Zhu Jinglun said to his spirit card:

"Your Majesty, I am here to ask you for a favor this time, don't blame you if you are disturbed."

He turned his head to Hong Tianguifu and said, "Your Royal Highness the Little Heavenly King, I want to dig up your father's tomb and plan to get something, you won't blame me." ”

Hong Tianguifu's face turned pale suddenly, the Ming Emperor wanted to dig his father's grave, could it be that his father had offended the Ming Emperor, and now people want to whip the corpse, so what should they do with these remnants, wouldn't they die without a place to be buried, and his body immediately softened.

At that time, Tianjing City was broken, Hong Tianguifu was frightened, and he was frightened whenever the wind and grass were blown for so many years, and he always felt that he would be killed at any time. This is not to blame him, his identity is determined, that is, he is here to guard the spirit, if it were not for the protection of the loyal and brave veterans of the Taiping Army, he would have been assassinated a long time ago, and there were too many people who wanted to kill him.

Zhu Jinglun knew his situation: "Don't be surprised, Little Heavenly King, I know that you have not had a good life in Daming for so many years, and I plan to let you go to King Zhong." ”

They have long wanted to go to the Americas, but first, Hong Xiuquan's mausoleum is here, and secondly, their identity is very concerned by the Ming government, and they are very close, without the permission of the government, they can't go, and they have tried to give gifts to the officials to let them go, but no one dares to help with this.

Now that the Ming Emperor has allowed them to leave, this is a good thing.

Hong Tianguifu didn't speak, but Li Rongfa asked.

"I don't know what Your Majesty wants to dig up the grave? There is no treasure in the tomb of the king of heaven. ”

Zhu Jinglun said with a smile: "I think you went to the Americas, and the tomb of the Heavenly King is left here, I don't think you will rest assured." I intend for you to take the loss of the King to the Americas for burial. ”

Li Rongfa exclaimed: "Disturbed the Heavenly King's sleep, how can this be made." ”

Hong Tianguifu suddenly had the courage and agreed: "Make, make, if my father can go to the Americas, he will be willing." ”

Zhu Jinglun smiled and asked people to start digging graves.

Hong Xiuquan's tomb is not big on the outside, but it was really built in accordance with the emperor's regulations, which was to appease the hundreds of thousands of Taiping troops who surrendered at that time, and it was also the surrender condition that Zhu Jinglun promised Li Xiucheng.

Therefore, there is a dungeon inside, and Hong Xiuquan is lying in a heavy Nanmu coffin.

After the coffin was opened, everyone was stunned, because ten years later, Hong Xiuquan's body had already turned into white bones, but his head was lifelike, just like before his death!
