Chapter 234: Celebration at Sea
Coquela was taken to the palace of Zhu Yousong in Fujian, which was originally a barren place where prisoners were exiled and officials were belittled in ancient times.
But now this place is extremely prosperous, and compared with the vicissitudes of life and the past, it can only be said that the saying that the times create heroes is also suitable for geography.
Zhu Yousong sat on a high place with a smile, looking at him with an unconvinced face, and glared angrily.
"Just two years ago, we were still guests and hosts, and we had a lot of fun talking about wine. It's a pity, it's a pity, you kid don't go to the road. You have to be the enemy of Da Ming, Da Ming is your most competent enemy, and I am sure to make you happy. β
Coqueira listened to the translation, and her angry hair stood on end, she was originally a fan, which made it even more terrifying.
"You are still an emperor, how can you be so shameless!"
Coqueira has been in the East for a long time, but he didn't expect to learn a few words of Chinese.
Zhu Yousong still smiled cheaply, and said without being salty: "What do you know? In ancient times, we had a great power who once said, "A soldier is a treacherous man." If I use a little trick, you will be caught, and I can only say that you have no brains and do not know how to fight. β
Coqueira is not a stupid person, he did not blindly contradict, but changed his tactics, his face fell, and said: "We are willing to surrender to the Ming Dynasty, please Your Majesty the Emperor release me, and my men and I will never be enemies of the Ming Dynasty again." β
"You instigated the war, and I came all the way from Beijing to the southeast, and you still want me to let you go?" Zhu Yousong pretended to be surprised, and asked rhetorically: "Could it be that I am working hard to mobilize the people, just to apologize for you?" You take yourself too seriously. β
The ministers in the palace laughed, at this time the emperor had just shown humor, and these officials who were like spirits were of course happy to cheer.
Coquela knelt in the temple, only to feel that the humiliation she had suffered over the past few decades was not more than half of what it is today. His face turned purple, his lips trembled, and he was so angry that he couldn't speak.
Zhu Yousong waved his hand, and the Chinese Wu of the Hall retracted his laughter and no longer dealt a mental blow to him.
"So, don't pretend to be with me, you have to recognize your current status. To put it bluntly, you just want to live, don't you? β
There is no standard answer to the question of dignity and life, which one is important. Everyone has their own pursuits, and Coqueira clearly leans more towards the latter, biting his lip and nodding vigorously.
"Hand over all your warships, your colonies, and all your plundered riches. For the sake of the priest, I can make you get out of the way, and remember that the East is not your paradise of crime. β
Over the years, he sat in the position of governor of Luzon, and he did not know how much gold and silver wealth he had looted, and he was a slave of beauty. and his subordinates, all of them were safe and sound, only he was the only one who fell into the hands of Daming and was caught by a sneak attack.
Coqueira weighed it, and although it hurt, he was confident that as long as he had his life, he could make a comeback. This time, I was tricked, and when I packed up the army and came again, I would definitely be able to give the sailors of the Ming Dynasty a heavy blow.
"Your Majesty the Emperor, I am willing to grant your request, please give me a quill, and I will write a letter to my men." Zhu Yousong nodded, and the narrator escorted him down to take over his territory.
This time, Zhang Hao failed to catch up with the big war, and his desire to make meritorious service was urgent. But her mind was still quite clear, she took a step forward, and said loudly: "Your Majesty, Fanren is cunning and vicious, and cannot be gullible. We have already formed a great enmity with him, how can we let the tiger return to the mountain. β
"Our Ming ceremonial state, magnificent atmosphere, and Fan Bang is different. Since I said to spare his life, I will spare his life. Zhu Yousong stood up and said loudly while gesturing.
The civil officials in the palace all nodded their heads, deeply agreed.
Out of the palace gate, Zhang Hao followed suit, Zhu Yousong turned around and whispered: "Find a Luzon native, take over all of them, and kill Coqueira." This guy has hundreds of thousands of blood on his hands, and he still wants to go back to be his governor, it's a fool's dream. β
Zhang Hao was stunned in place, and Zhu Yousong said dissatisfiedly: "Let's go, what are you doing in a daze, you are dumbfounded, and you have not grown at all." β
Zhang Hao was embarrassed for a while, and followed closely, Zhu Yousong came all the way to the outside of the hall, and looked at the vast sea. This palace, built specifically for him, is still a sea-view room. The sea breeze blows, with a faint moisture, and there is no end in sight.
Thousands of guards, looking at their emperor, their eyes full of respect and support.
From vassal king to emperor, he successfully saved the Ming Dynasty, which died frequently. In ancient times, no monarch who turned the tide and supported the collapse of the edifice has been accomplished in such a short time. Now Daming is playing triumphant songs everywhere, and people's livelihood is getting better step by step, although there are still stubborn diseases, but there are no fatal injuries.
There were several warships parked scattered on the sea, guarding one by one the carved beams and paintings, and Zhu Yousong walked up with his men behind his hands.
The ship also looked like a small palace, with everything available, and after the monarch and the ministers sat down, they began to serve food.
All kinds of rare delicacies, and after being conditioned by Jiangnan masters, the beauty of the taste makes people want to make their tongues want to melt.
There are many ministers, who are honest officials, and this time they followed Zhu Yousong to Jiangnan, which can be regarded as a meat. On the contrary, it is the ministers of Jinling in the south of the Yangtze River, which are commonplace.
When they saw a dish served by a northern official, they were amazed once, and they couldn't help but feel contempt. These people come from a wealthy family, and the land of China has developed to the present, and the economic center has long since moved south. But helplessly, the capital is in the north, and although the soil buns in their eyes are not as knowledgeable as them, they are all real Beijing officials, and they are overshadowed by their power.
In the past, there was still the Donglin Party to support them for the faΓ§ade, but after several purges, those who formed a party and ran a private business were sent home. There were no more prominent party leaders at the meeting, only pragmatic officials.
Zhu Yousong drank a few glasses of wine, his interest was high, and he raised his glass and said: "A month ago, we had a good time in Jinling, and I said at that time that I would raise a glass to drink the wine of celebration with you Aiqing at sea. The words are still in my ears, now that the great work has been completed, come, let's drink this cup for the soldiers. β
As soon as the words fell, Zhang Hao stood up, raised his glass and said, "Then the ministers, I will use this wine to raise a glass for Your Majesty and the sailors." β
Zhu Yousong looked at his high-spirited appearance, thinking of the extremely cold winter and the sinful temple when he first came to Daming, and he felt a lot of emotion in his heart.
The officials on the ship saw that the emperor and his beloved generals were very drunk, and they also drank openly, and the waves crashed against the huge ship, and the hull of the ship did not move.
The sea is at your feet at the moment.
