The conversation with Qingcha Gongzi did not make Zhang Ru have much change in his opinion of this person, and after listening to his words, Zhang Ru felt that he was a little pitiful at most.

The affairs of the previous generation are not something that the next generation can handle, and the young man of Qingcha is just an outsider without any name, in the eyes of Zhang Ru, he is not qualified to intervene in these things at all.

Whether it is Zhu Youzhang's accession to the throne or the opening of the sea ban, it is the old Zhu family's own family's own affairs, and it is also the state affairs of the Ming Dynasty, and it has little to do with how a small person is the tea boy.

Over there, Lei Yuan interrogated Guo Hansheng's father and son overnight and got a lot of information, of course, Guo Hansheng insisted that everything was his own idea, and it had nothing to do with Qingcha Gongzi. But after the timid and fearful Guo Min was tortured, he pitifully told everything he knew.

The charge with the blood-red handprint was sent to Zhang Ru, and there was a large string of human lives, including Yang Yiyu and others.

In the next few days, Jin Yiwei announced that the political envoy department in Fujian Province wantonly took prisoners, and as soon as he found any clues of the enemy, a large group of men and horses would immediately arrest those people.

The person sent by Lei Yuan to send a message to the commander of Fuzhou Wei to make Lin Ao return with Lin Ao's head, this majestic commander was brutally chopped off by his own henchmen when facing the rebels of equal strength.

It's just that the deputy didn't dare to follow a large number of sailors to storm the post station, and fled towards Xiamen with a bunch of remnants of defeated soldiers overnight.

When you arrive at Xiamen Port, you will be able to go to sea by boat, and then you will be able to live in other places with those maritime merchants who are just going to go to sea, and with one or two thousand people in their hands, they are fully capable of living well.

However, after arriving in Xiamen, they realized that things were not as simple as they imagined.

After seeing Lin Ao's head, Zhang Ru's resentment in his stomach also dissipated, and everyone was already dead, and Lin Ao was really not to blame for this matter.

However, he also has a new understanding of the Ming army in the southeast, if the border army in the nine-sided town is a blunt knife of the Ming Dynasty, the army in the southeast coastal area can only be a sharp stone at most. Perhaps the 12th Regiment Battalion in Beijing can barely be called a sword.

The army is so corrupt that it is no wonder that there will be a plague of Japanese robbers in later generations.

At that moment, Zhang Ru made up his mind that no matter whether the sea ban could be successfully opened in the end, the guards in the southeast coastal area must be well organized.

In the next half month, Jin Yiwei wantonly arrested the so-called human criminals, and within half a month, almost as long as the maritime merchants who had some strength in the coastal area were invited to Fuzhou.

Some people relied on the protection of local officials to refuse to listen to summonses, and as a result, there was either a sudden loss of a subordinate in the family or a sudden increase in blood. This outright threat caused many people to choose to give in, and they suddenly realized that the person standing opposite them was a madman who never played his cards according to common sense.

Half a month for Zhang Ru to divide these maritime merchants, without deliberately coercing and inducing, as long as he scares them decently, he can make these very smart maritime merchants think clearly.

Money is something outside the body, and they understand the simple truth that life does not bring to death and does not take it, especially when the life and safety of themselves and their families are threatened, they understand the meaning of this sentence even more.

One seeks wealth, the other seeks survival, and both sides can take what they need.

After tossing for half a month, Fuzhou returned to calm on the surface, and on this day, Zhang Ru released the maritime merchants who accepted their fate from the overcrowded Fuzhou Prefecture prison, and those maritime merchants who refused to bow their heads were escorted to the execution ground in prison uniforms.

There are dozens of tables in the backyard of the prefect's yamen, and there are eight plates and eight bowls on the table, which are full of coloring and fragrant dishes, but those maritime merchants sitting on the tables with dishes on their faces can't muster their appetite.

This meal may be the most expensive meal they have ever eaten in their lives, and no one knows how much wealth the marquis will let them donate at that time.

Lei Yuan's eyes were full of admiration when he looked at Zhang Ru, it was this young marquis who was only in his twenties who turned the Fuzhou Mansion, which was originally controlled by maritime merchants, upside down in just two months. It was this young marquis who was only in his early twenties, with no more than 200 former brocade guards, who captured hundreds of large and small maritime merchants.

"Inviting you here today is the respect of Benhou on behalf of the imperial court. Presumably, the suffering of prison some time ago has made you think clearly. Of course, if someone doesn't figure it out, there's no way, and in the future, Ben Hou will look at your performance according to the things on these confessions. Zhang Ruyang raised a thick stack of confessions in his hand.

These are all things that those maritime merchants are forced to sign in order to survive, and these things are an invisible rope around their necks, which can kill them at any time.

There were about 80 maritime merchants here, large and small, but none of them dared to speak.

Zhang Ru didn't care, raised his voice and said: "The imperial court has the intention to open the country, open the sea ban, and take the road of enriching the country and strengthening the army." Ben Hou is just a pawn who explores the way, I am very happy that you can cooperate with the imperial court and set up a banquet today, I just want to ask you to let go of the mustard in your heart, and everyone will earn money together in the future.

Fuzhou is blessed with a unique geographical location, and Fujian Chengxuan Political Envoy Department is a natural feng shui treasure. Relying on the mountains to eat the mountains, relying on the water to draft water, the imperial court will not investigate the previous violations of the Ming ancestral system, but will only supervise you not to do anything illegal and undisciplined in the future.

Ben Hou is not afraid to say things in front, if anyone dares to do things not according to the content of this confession, don't blame Ben Hou for being ruthless at that time!

There are a lot of people in the Ming Dynasty, killing one is killing, and killing ten is also killing. Rest assured, Benhou will convince you to die.

Of course, as long as you stand in the position of the imperial court, do your own thing, and don't do anything that violates the law and discipline, Benhou can guarantee that your life is better than now, and it will only get better and better.

None of you have any homicide cases in your hands, and those who have murder cases are now on the execution ground. Many of them also expressed their willingness to follow the wishes of the imperial court, but Benhou was unwilling to give them such an opportunity.

Okay, no more nonsense, today is a good day, let's make a toast to the prosperity of the Ming Dynasty in the future. ”

The people present stood up together, raised the wine glasses in their hands, and squeezed out a smile on their faces, either resigned to their fate or unwillingly, and shouted: "The Ming Dynasty is prosperous, cheers!" ”

After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, there is a lot less haze on everyone's faces, and there are many more people who come to toast Zhang Ru. Lei Yuan played the role of blocking the wine very competently, and only half of the maritime merchants toasted, and he was already drunk.

Zhang Ru only occasionally raised his glass to take a sip when greeting a few sea merchants, and he would hand over the others to the people around him to deal with.

A person of his status just holds a wine glass and doesn't drink it, and others can't say that he is not here.

After a drink, most of the people were drunk, and Zhang Ru became the most sober one in the field.

At this time, it was already afternoon, and a brocade guard hurriedly came and whispered a few words in his ear.

Zhang Ru's face did not change and said: "Since everyone has been dragged to the execution ground, if you kill it, why bother to ask for instructions." ”

"The prison officer said that it was past noon, and it was a bit unlucky to kill people at this moment." Jin Yiwei bowed his head and said.

Zhang Ru waved his hand and said: "What is auspicious, kill it, sacrifice the flag!" ”

The brocade guard took the order away, which frightened several of the sea merchants who were at the same table with him. They weren't really drunk, they just pretended to be crazy and stupid in front of Zhang Ru, but they didn't expect to hear such words.

I knew with my knees who this order was aimed at, and except for a group of maritime merchants led by Guo Hansheng, these words would not be directed at anyone.

However, the rabbit died and the fox was sad, Guo Han died and died, and no one knew who would die next.

The very good atmosphere was destroyed by this sentence in an instant, and Zhang Ru himself was unaware of it, holding a cup and pouring himself a drink. It wasn't until everyone was lying on the table that he asked Jin Yiwei to escort them home one by one.

The matter here in Fuzhou was transmitted back to Yingtianfu in Nanjing half a month later, which was not deliberately passed on by Zhang Ru, but through word of mouth. When the news got from the capital, it was only twenty years.

Emperor Zhu Youzhu was as happy as a child, holding the queen Zhang Yaoyao in the palace, he rarely had such a good mood, and Zhang Yaoyao let him mess around. Otherwise, his body, Zhang Yaoyao really didn't dare to let him do too strenuous exercise.

After some fun, Zhu Youzhu gasped and put down Zhang Yaoyao: "Xiaoyao, I'm not wrong!" Brother Tiger will never let me down. ”

Zhang Yaoyao threw Zhu Youzhu a charming white eye: "Your Majesty, Dingbian Hou has worked hard and made great achievements, you still have to think about how to reward it!" ”

During this time, the pressure that Zhu Youzhu withstood was much greater than the pressure that Zhang Ru withstood was much greater. Whether it is a civil official or a military general, there are people who attack Zhang Ru, which makes him really embarrassed as an emperor.

Fortunately, the good news from Jiangnan, otherwise he really didn't know how long he would be able to last.

Zhu Youzhu took a sip of water and eased his breath: "It's all my own family, what kind of reward to talk about, Brother Tiger won't care about the so-called reward." ”

Zhang Yaoyao raised his hand and picked up Bai Juan to wipe the fine beads of sweat from his forehead for him: "Although Brother Tiger doesn't care about this, but you are a gentleman, he is a minister, this is not a matter of whether it is your own family, but what others think." ”

"Eun, wait until he comes back." Zhu Youzhu said excitedly.

Zhang Yaoyao shook his head and said: "Your Majesty, you can't wait for him to come back, if you don't tell His Majesty's true attitude now, I'm afraid that when Dingbian Hou comes back, he will not face His Majesty's reward, but the wanton attack of the ministers." ”

Zhu Youzhu thought about it for a moment and said, "Huaien, the intention is to be made." ”

That night, a holy decree was sent from the capital to Fujian.
