Chapter 430: The Southeast Clan
Lunatic!
The world's number one madman!
Ignoring the will of the people, they shot at the people, killing and wounding everywhere, and staining Jiangnan with blood. Such an executioner, cruel and unkind, Heaven will kill him!
The scholars in Jiangnan did not hesitate to curse Zhang Ke with the worst malice and the most vicious language. Some people even made puppets, wrote Zhang Ke's birthday, pricked them with needles, cut them with knives, and threw them into the fire to burn them...... They only dared to vent in private, and they no longer dared to incite the people to fight against the imperial court, and even if they did, few people dared to go.
The Yizhou soldiers are not polite at all, as long as they are hit, their limbs fly around, and the flesh and blood without armor protection, as long as a bullet, they can fly all over the sky, and blood flows everywhere.
Outside the city of Suzhou, more than 200 corpses warned everyone not to try to compete with Zhang Ke, people who are used to seeing thousands of troops and horses, will they still be afraid of grass people!
In fact, in the eyes of Jiangnan people, the ferociousness and cruelty, in the eyes of Zhang Guogong, is drizzle!
He didn't take action personally at all, but just sent two thousand generals and two hundred soldiers. The children of a truly good family, the people with an innocent background will never make trouble lightly. Most of the people who took the initiative to besiege the army were family members, idlers, and ruffians, and they took the lead, and then a group of guys who wanted to take advantage of the fire to rob followed, and they made a huge momentum.
Seeing this, he decisively took a ruthless move to knock out the leading idlers and villains, and the so-called "people's uprising" was scattered, and the wolf bèi fled.
Faced with this result, Ying Tianxun Mao Yilu was also taken aback. Thousands of people made a fuss and scared him out. In order to calm things down, he even agreed to Kou Shen's mention and only arrested five untouchables. Thinking of this, Mao Yilu can't wait to give himself two mouths!
"Make you incompetent! Make you timid! ”
took down Zhou Shunchang, Huang Zunsu, Li Yingsheng and others, and Mao Yilu immediately sent people to escort them into Beijing. Give it to Wei Zhongxian.
Finally out of the evil spirit in his chest, Mao Yilu hurriedly came to Liujiabao, asked to see Zhang Ke, and wanted to discuss the next move.
rushed to the barracks, and when asked, Zhang Ke was not there. Du Qing explained with a smile: "Grandpa Guo went to Tianfei Palace to drop incense, if Lord Zhongcheng has something urgent, I will go to Grandpa Guo." ”
"Don't!" Mao Yilu said with a smile: "How can you disturb the interest of Grandpa Guo, let's go to Tianfei Palace together, right?" ”
"It's okay, Mao Zhongcheng, please!"
Du Qing and Mao Yilu got on the war horse together. Go straight to the Tianfei Palace......
"The so-called Tianfei Palace is dedicated to Mazu, the fishermen of southeast Fujian and Zhejiang all believe in Mazu, every time they go to sea to do business and fish, they must come to incense, pray for peace, and wait until they come back safely, and they want to pay tribute to Mazu, thank you for the grace of protection."
Ming Ruxin accompanied Zhang Ke, and said in a straightforward manner: "Grandpa Guo." At that time, Zheng He, the eunuch of the Three Treasures, went to the West seven times, all of which set off from Liuhebao, which was still called Liujiagang at that time. Before leaving, you have to go to the Tianfei Palace to offer incense. That's right! ”
Ming Ru Xinyi 謋ù蟮钔饷娴 mother 叽蟮ne� accompanied ∫ ashamed to climb the seed binding Ci ィ waved the luck of the clam brand to support neon
Walk to the front of the stone stele, which records the deeds of the seven voyages to the West. Zhang Ke looked at it and couldn't help but read it out: "The god of protecting the country and protecting the people, Miao Lingzhao Yinghongren, Puji Tianfei, and Wei Ling is spread in the giant sea." Merit is written in too often. And so since the beginning of Yongle, sent all the envoys, now through seven times, each commander tens of thousands of officers and soldiers, more than 100 sea ships, from Taicang to the sea, from the Champa State, Siam, Java, Kezhi, Guli State, to the Western Regions Hulu Desert (1) Si and other more than 30 (2) countries, involving more than 100,000 miles......
Tens of thousands of troops, hundreds of warships, seven voyages to the Western Ocean, footprints all over 100,000 miles, dozens of vassal states pay tribute, and Tianwei is spread all over the world!
This is the Ming Dynasty 200 years ago, this is the Yongle Prosperous Era!
Conquer the desert, repair the capital, write the ceremony, and go to the West...... When I think about everything, it makes people's hearts flutter and their blood boils. If Zhu Di comes back to life and sees that his descendants can't even deal with the slaves, his old man promises to strangle these useless children and grandchildren, so as not to embarrass the old Zhu family.
Now that the glory has passed, the feat of seven trips to the West is only a few strokes in the history books, and perhaps there is also the "Tongfan Deeds Monument" in front of you.
Zhang Ke couldn't help but shake his head and sigh, his fists clenched and clenched.
"Ruxin, do you know why there are only seven trips to the West, and then you won't do it?"
Ming Ruxin has a broader vision than his uncle Ming Wenyuan, and he is more obsessed with things at sea. This time, Zhang Ke transferred his troops to the south by sea, just to let him command the fleet, and Zhang Ke was very satisfied with his appearance along the way.
"Returning to the country's grandfather, I heard that the sea is high and the waves are urgent, and the casualties are severe. Every time he went to the West, he consumed a large amount of silver taels from the treasury, and it was difficult to maintain the finances of the imperial court. When the Yongle Emperor died, the feat of going to the West stopped. Not only did it stop, but it also burned down the fortune ship and destroyed the charts. ”
Speaking of this, Ming Ruxin's breathing also became heavy, and his eyes widened.
"It's enough to stop the Western Ocean, but why burn the charts, destroy the shipyard and the ship! Grandpa Guo, according to the standards of Westerners, the Ming Dynasty can't even build a thousand-ton sea ship right now! But the treasure ship of the Three Treasure Eunuchs is seven or eight thousand tons! Two hundred years later, we can't even compare to our ancestors, but those Xiyi have advanced by leaps and bounds, the ships are getting bigger and bigger, and the artillery fire is getting more and more fierce! I really don't know how those literati who have brought disaster to the country and the people, after going to hell, how they will face the emperor and the ancestors! ”
Zhang Ke sighed slightly, and said with a wry smile: "Ru Xin, going to the West is just to promote the prestige of the country, as the literati say, it is extravagant, and Chengzu will not go to the West seven times." In fact, although the seven trips to the West rewarded a large number of foreign countries, but that was only a drop in the barrel, the Three Treasures eunuchs did more trade, and exchanged the silk, tea, and porcelain of our dynasty for real money, silver, jewelry, and spices from various countries. Every time the treasury was empty, it would organize to go to the West to make money. And the money earned went directly into the internal funds, and Grandpa Cheng relied on this money to repair the Yongle Grand Ceremony, enter the desert five times, and create a great reputation! ”
A remark completely subverted Ming Ru's new concept, going to the West is not to lose money, on the contrary, to make money!
"Grandpa Guo, why did you stop?"
"Hehe, Ru Xin, the imperial court has stopped going to the West, but has my trade with the sea stopped? You know best in the southeast how many sea merchants still have huge fleets in their hands, going back and forth to the sea, selling the goods of the Ming Dynasty and earning back the silver of the Western Ocean. ”
Ming Ruxin is quite smart, and he can understand it at one point, "Grandpa Guo, do you mean to stop going to the West, not to let the imperial court make money, and the huge profits at sea will fall into the hands of big coastal households?" ”
"That's right!" Zhang Ke sighed: "Those civil officials are the spokesmen of Dahu on the sea, and they did not hesitate to destroy the Ming Dynasty's navigation career for their own selfish interests more than a hundred years ago. It's just that they didn't expect the Westerners to rise subsequently, just relying on the strength of the family, without the support of the imperial court, how can they compete with the Westerners? ”
"After two hundred years, these people are still so short-sighted, the Ming Dynasty has been in turmoil, and they are still desperately avoiding taxes and constantly sucking blood from the imperial court. They are like evil vines, entwining around the tree, and they are trying to grow and cover the tree. Sooner or later, one day the big tree will be strangled to death, and they will be buried together! ”
While he was talking, someone outside shouted: "Grandpa Guo, Mao Zhongcheng is here!" ”
Mao Yilu trotted in from outside, opposite Zhang Keyi, and hurriedly knelt down.
"Mao Zhongcheng, there is no need to be like this, Benjue has something I want to ask you for help, I want to talk to the big clans in the southeast and listen to their thoughts......" (to be continued...... R1292
