Chapter 80: The Vanguard

Zhu Houhuang appeased the old man among the three guards in Fuzhou, so that he did. Fuzhou Sanwei can be regarded as settling down, but Zhu Houhuang's last sentence promised that the manpower he could recruit was greatly reduced, and I don't know how many people broke away from Fuzhou Sanwei. This can be seen from the final list of the three guards in Fuzhou collected by Zhu Houhuang, and the people who were willing to follow Zhu Houhuang to Dongyong in the end were only five or six thousand.

It's just that it's not a thing that everyone lives on the ship all the time. Zhu Houhuang found a large compound on the bank of the Min River and settled down. And bring down the three hundred musketeers and their families, and settle down a little. It will take some time for them to adapt to the climate of Fujian and exile Fuzhou Sanwei. Zhu Houhuang can't leave Fuzhou yet, and he has to wait for the follow-up of this incident. But Zhu Houhuang is not willing to waste time here.

"Uncle, Xu Qing, the two of you take the first step, take a look at the terrain of Dongyong for Lonely?" Zhu Houhuang said: "Xu Qing, you are familiar with the topography of Dongyong, and Gu will teach you the location of the capital of Yongguo in the future." ”

Xu Dong was taken aback and said, "Your Highness, don't you understand the art of public opinion?" ”

"You don't need any tricks, the future capital of Yongguo." Zhu Houhuang said: "You don't need any tricks to choose, the first place is a seaside city, but also a natural port. And there must be enough arable land around the city. ”

Zhu Houhuang thought about it and didn't say anything more. said: "That's all for these two points, but you have to choose a few alternatives." ”

Xu Dong said, "Yes." Xu Dong was extremely excited. China is very particular about the choice of the capital, and there are many mysterious and mysterious factors, such as what dragon veins and what national fortunes. It's a very important thing. And these things. They are all cronies of the sovereign. Xu Dongneng got this errand, and naturally felt that he was trusted by Zhu Houhuang.

"In addition to this one thing, there is one more thing." Zhu Houhuang asked: "What forces are there on Dongyong Island?" How many people are there? How many people are Han Chinese, or my Ming people. How many people have to be eliminated. I've taught you that, uncle. ”

Wu Fengyi said: "Yes." ”

Zhu Houhuang paced repeatedly and said: "There is one more thing, on Penghu Island, there were people in the past, Cha Fu Zhi. When Taizu founded the country, he moved all the major surnames on Penghu Island inward. By the way, they explored that this Penghu Island is a transit point between Dongyong and the mainland. It is necessary to settle down. ”

"Yes." Wu Fengyi and Xu Dong said in unison.

Zhu Houhuang said: "There are no other things, but be careful in everything, if there is something discordant, come back first." ”

"Yes." Wu Fengyi and Xu Dong said.

Needless to say, the two selected some subordinates, especially Xu Dong, Xu Dong was the smuggling leader at sea, and there were many subordinates under him. Xu Dong took a lot of people with him. Wu Fengyi brought a lot of people, all of whom were good hands he brought out from the brocade guards.

Xu Dong and Wu Fengyi, as Zhu Houhuang's pioneers, went to Dongyong first.

During Zhu Houhuang's time in Fuzhou, it was not that he did nothing at all. Tang Yin was leisurely among the literati and writers in Fuzhou, letting the people of Fuzhou know what is called the literary style of Jiangnan.

During this period of time, Zhu Houhuang mostly communicated with the elders of Fuzhou Sanwei. For a long time in the future, the source of Zhu Houhuang's immigrants will definitely be Fujian, not somewhere else, firstly, because Fujian and Dongyong are the closest, and secondly, because Fujian is narrow and thin, densely populated, and it is impossible to feed so many people.

Zhu Houhuang talked with the old man of Fuzhou Sanwei, not only for the present, but also for the future, to understand the folk customs of Fujian.

First of all, Zhu Houhuang faced a big problem, that is, the clan problem. First of all, Zhu Houhuang knew why he got the support of so many people, so the old man of Fuzhou Sanwei agreed to follow Zhu Houhuang to Dongyong, because first, he offended the officials in Fuzhou, and the life of staying was not good, second, the conditions that Zhu Houhuang said were good, and third, it was Zhu Houhuang's reverence for Chen Yuanguang, the holy king of Kaizhang.

First of all, at this time, there was no posthumous gift from the Holy King of Kaizhang, only the posthumous gift of the Marquis Zhaolie who was sealed by Taizu. He is known as the Holy King of Kaizhang, obviously revering Chen Gong, which makes many people feel comfortable. Because it's the second reason. Chen is a big surname in Fujian, and even the largest surname in Fujian, they all come to the same line as Chen Yuanhua, the holy king of Kaizhang, and it can be said that Chen Yuanhua is their ancestor. Zhu Houhuang's words of praising Chen Yuanhua just curried favor with the largest surname Chen in Fujian. That's why so many people support it.

Zhu Houhuang also understood a historical truth, Chen Gong, the holy king of Kaizhang, did have merits and the world, and opened up a new living space for China, but the reason why he was praised by later generations and sealed in all dynasties is that the descendants of the surname Chen are fighting for luck, whether it is during the Zhengde period, or later generations, Fujian, Liangguang, and even Nanyang, Taiwan, most of the Chen surnames are from this vein. The descendants of later generations are so angry. Chen Gong's historical status will naturally rise.

At this moment, Zhu Houhuang profoundly understood a sentence: "The body is skinned, and the parents who receive it dare not destroy it, and the beginning of filial piety is also." Standing up and doing the way, making a name for yourself in future generations, in order to show your parents, and the end of filial piety. "The reason why Chen Yuanhua can become famous in future generations is indeed because of the outstanding contributions of the children surnamed Chen. It can be called a sentence, and the end of filial piety is also.

But this is also the most difficult problem that Zhu Houhuang faces, the clan problem.

Historically, Taiwan's clan problems are very big, for example, the Wufeng Lin family, even Zhu Houhuang, who doesn't know much about the specific situation in Taiwan, has vaguely heard of the reputation of this family. But Zhu Houhuang didn't want the future Dongyong, there were these families that could almost be called small warlords, and his ideal politics was the Western Han Dynasty, and the power was directly established on the class of yeoman farmers. It is not the situation of the Eastern Han Dynasty, when the Han family and the family shared the world.

However, the current situation in Fujian gave Zhu Houhuang a headache, and he couldn't help but secretly make up his mind to attract immigrants in the future, bring in as few as possible from Fujian, and disrupt the clan and divide all parties.

Because of Zhu Houhuang's identity, Zhu Houhuang couldn't go directly to the streets and alleys to understand the situation, because if he did this, Luo Lun would be directly scared to death.

Although Li Liangqin's assassination was said by Zhu Houhuang to be a false alarm, Luo Lun never dared to let His Royal Highness King Yong have something happen on his territory.

Zhu Houhuang had no choice but to let Li Liangqin investigate on his behalf, Li Liangqin's disciples ran errands between Zhu Houhuang and Li Liangqin, and Zhu Houhuang met him after coming and going, this child was only twelve or thirteen years old, but his muscles and bones were strong, and his nickname was Huzi, although Zhu Houhuang was only four or five years older than him, but he felt as if he was Huzi's elder.

One day, Zhu Houhuang suddenly remembered and asked, "Huzi, what is your big name?" ”

"Yu Dayou." Huzi said.

"Yu Dayou?" Zhu Houhuang said: "You like to eat oil so much? The name reminds others to amplify the oil when cooking for you. ”

"No, it's not." Huzi said with a red face. He dipped his fingers in water and wrote three big characters on the table: "Yu Dayou." said: "It's this Yu Dayou, not Yu Dayou." ”

Zhu Houhuang glanced at it, and suddenly felt that this name was not very familiar? North Qi Nanyu that Yu, Qi Long Yu Tiger that tiger, can Qi Jiguang be juxtaposed, as one of the most outstanding generals of the Ming Dynasty, is it the child in front of him? Zhu Houhuang suddenly felt that everything was worth it. smiled: "Okay, good, Yu Dayou, you are the lonely general of Zhengnan." ”

Yu Dayou glanced at Zhu Houhuang and felt if this prince was crazy.

Suddenly, Zhu Houhuang thought of Qi Jiguang from Yu Dayou, and thought: "I remember that Qi Jiguang is the hereditary commander of the Denglai area?" I don't know if he's born now, it doesn't matter, his father should be there, by the way, what's his father's name. What's the matter? Zhu Houhuang couldn't remember it for a while, gritted his teeth and said secretly: "It's okay, I have time to find all the senior generals surnamed Qi in Shandong Dusi." Anyway, Qi is not a big surname. There aren't many people. ”

Zhu Houhuang made up his mind for a while, and started the plan to find Qi Jiguang as soon as he had time.
