Chapter 267: The Hongwu Case

……

In the past half a month, the entire Ming Dynasty has gone up and down, which is tantamount to a storm.

First, Zhang Hong, Hou Fang, and Liu Fulin gathered scholars and established Dongshan College to oppose the reform of the imperial examination system and oppose the imperial court.

Immediately after Huang Jiuyan was on the top of the main hall, not only defending Hou Fang and others, but also attacking the new imperial examination, and even openly criticizing His Royal Highness!

finally provoked His Majesty the Emperor to be furious and punished Huang Jiuyan and the nine clans of the three people.

It also exiled all the students, officials, and nine clans related to these four people to Yinzhou overseas.

All of a sudden, the brocade-clothed guards rode around arresting people.

There are those who are fortunate to have escaped and their families have survived.

Distribute for themselves the wilderness, and there are those who are grief-stricken.

There are also many people who applaud loudly and feel very happy.

In short, the appearance of all living beings is vividly displayed.

Jinyiwei has been arresting people for a month, and dragging families and clans has arrested more than 10,000 people.

It can be called the first eucalyptus since the founding of the country.

In the imperial study, Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the folds presented by Mao Xiang and sneered: "Okay!" Okay, five million taels of silver, 700,000 acres of fertile land, pawnshops, restaurants, inns, brothels and all kinds of real estate are innumerable......"

"This is only the family property of Zhang Hong, Liu Fulin and the other three, not counting those implicated officials in Zhejiang, as well as the important officials in the court who were dismissed!"

"No wonder Qianyuan died in just over a hundred years, and these corrupt officials have contributed a lot!"

"Exile in Yinzhou...... Hum! What a bargain for these bastards! They should be punished by the nine clans, and then they should be skinned and filled with grass and hung in the government office! ”

The more Zhu Yuanzhang spoke, the more angry he became, and he smashed the chapter on the eucalyptus!

Mao Xiang, who was kneeling on the ground, lay his head on the ground deeply, for fear of getting into trouble.

Zhu Han next to him coughed and said in a rambling voice: "Mao Xiang, go down first!" ”

Mao Xiang hurriedly climbed down and retreated, not looking at Zhu Yuanzhang's face at all.

Because he knows that the emperor is extremely favored by his younger brother, and he is respectful to the king, and His Majesty the emperor will only look at himself more and more!

At this moment, there are only two brothers left in the imperial study.

Zhu Han smiled at this time: "Brother, why are you angry for these people, it's not worth it!" ”

Zhu Yuanzhang snorted coldly: "Seventy-five, you just have too soft a heart!" ”

Zhu Han couldn't help but twitch his eyelids, is this still soft-hearted?

That's right, if you compare it with the original history, Lao Zhu Daxing Hu Lan's prison and killed more than 45,000 people, isn't he soft-hearted!

Thinking of this, Zhu Han couldn't help but shake his head, dissipating the distracting thoughts in his heart, and then said happily: "That overseas Yinzhou, but my fiefdom in the future......"

"You can't wait for this British king to become a vassal in the future, it's really still a wilderness! These people went over and just took care of me. ”

Hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang became more and more unhappy: "Don't tell us in front of you after saying this, no matter what, we can't seal you, the only brother-in-law, to a place where birds don't lay eggs......

"Otherwise, how will we explain to our father and mother after a hundred years?"

Zhu Han scratched his head helplessly, even today, Zhu Yuanzhang was still unwilling to seal the Americas to himself.

No matter how many times he described the beautiful scene of the Americas to Emperor Zhu, Zhu Yuanzhang didn't believe it!

No matter how good it is, can it still have a Chinese border?

"Cheng Chengcheng, don't talk about this, Hu Dahai is about to go to sea, big brother, don't you see him?" Zhu Han changed the subject.

As soon as Zhu Yuanzhang heard that it was Hu Dahai, he said angrily: "It's the matter of Yinzhou overseas again, we are annoyed when we hear this name now, this matter has always been in your care, so we won't ask...... Tonight, your sister-in-law cooks the whole table, let's have a few drinks! ”

As he spoke, he got up on the throne, grabbed Zhu Han's arm with one hand, and pulled him to the harem without saying anything.

The eunuchs and palace maids waiting on both sides are all envious, and the prince who has been favored since ancient times is no more than the king of this dynasty!

After this family banquet, it was already late at night, and Zhu Yuanzhang specially asked his dragon chariot to send Zhu Han back to the house!

It's not the first time that this kind of honor has been honored, at the beginning, there was also the impeachment of the imperial history, Zhu Yuanzhang said that he would be impeached casually, let's use his chariot to send my brother home?

Over time, everyone became numb and turned a blind eye.

As soon as Zhu Han arrived at the gate of the mansion, someone immediately replied: "Lord Hu, the majority of Heishui, has been waiting in the main hall for a long time!" ”

Zhu Han was overjoyed: "It's just right to come, let him go to the study to see me!" ”

Then the man should retreat.

Zhu Han strode to the study first, and as soon as he sat down, he heard a rough voice sound: "The last general, Hu Dahai, meet His Royal Highness the King of England!" ”

Zhu Hanxi smiled and waved his hand: "Get up, sit down and talk, and watch the tea!" ”

Since Hu Dahai discovered the Americas, he began to garrison troops there.

It's just that at this moment in the Americas, it is really a real wild land, far from the Central Plains, basically there are no people, although there are savages, but these savages are indigenous in the eyes of the Ming garrison...... That's not human.

Therefore, there were a lot of complaints in the army, and several times there was almost a camp roar, if Hu Dahai had not handled it properly, the consequences would have been unimaginable.

Hu Dahai reported this matter to Zhu Yuanzhang, and at Zhu Han's suggestion, Zhu Yuanzhang authorized the soldiers stationed in the Americas to return to Daming every six months to change their defenses.

As the commander-in-chief, Hu Dahai personally took the fleet back to Daming every time he changed guards, rested for half a month, and returned to the Americas with new soldiers again.

The maid gave Hu Dahai tea, and Hu Dahai thanked him with the teacup, and then said: "The last general is about to return to Yinzhou, I don't know what His Highness can explain?" ”

Zhu Han nodded with satisfaction, and then said with some emotion: "Hu Dahai, you are hard enough, this Daming and Yinzhou run back and forth, otherwise, in a few years, find a young replacement for you, you will also be promoted in the capital and enjoy a few years of happiness." ”

When Hu Dahai heard this, he hurriedly put down the tea bowl and waved his hand anxiously: "Don't, I like to go back and forth on this sea, but don't replace me." ”

Zhu Han was stunned: "This is strange, I have also seen those Yinzhou soldiers who came back from changing guards, every time they get off the ship, it is like getting out of the sea of suffering, I can't wait to set foot on the land of Yinzhou in this life, you are good, but I want to go back!" ”

Hu Dahai said proudly: "The last general I have been begging for a living on the water since I was a child, but I can't sleep well on the ground, there are many ports in Yinzhou, and it is very convenient to go to sea. ”

"Good!"

Zhu Han was overjoyed, and he had to engage in great navigation, but he had to ask for people like Hu Dahai who took the sea as their home.

Hu Dahai said that he was quite angry and passionate before, but when he said it later, he smiled bitterly: "Moreover, the last general, who has an unobstructed temperament, mixes with these dignitaries and nobles in the capital, and I don't know how many people I will offend!" ”

Zhu Han waved his hand: "You want to be Huo Champion, Ban Dingyuan's general extravagant character, those dignitaries are not as good as you!" ”

Hu Dahai's eyes suddenly turned red, and he clenched his fists with both hands and choked up: "I will ...... at the end."

"Hey, don't mention this, the nearest Dongshan Academy, do you know?" Seeing that this man was emotional, Zhu Han quickly changed the topic and got down to business.

As soon as he said this, Hu Dahai immediately became energetic: "How can I not hear of it?" It is said that all the prisoners were exiled to Yinzhou, Your Highness, is it true? ”

Zhu Yuanzhang's decision to exile the criminal official to Yinzhou has already been clearly issued, how could Hu Dahai not know?

His concern was about how many people he would have to exile, which had not yet been made clear in the decree.

Yinzhou is vast and sparsely populated, too few, and useless.

Therefore, the purpose of his coming here tonight was to find out the bottom of this British king.

Today, the Holy Lord, who is very fond of this compatriot's brother, will know something about it.

Taking a step back, even if there are too few people sent by the emperor to Yinzhou, you can ask His Royal Highness to go to His Majesty the Emperor and intercede.

Looking at Hu Dahai's earnest eyes, Zhu Han smiled slightly, and he didn't want to catch his appetite: "This time, there are about 10,000 people who are involved in the criminal file, and all of them are exiled to Yinzhou!" ”

Hu Dahai was dumbfounded: "Ying...... Your Royal Highness, what do you say? ”

At this moment, Hu Dahai's voice was trembling, and he couldn't believe it.

You must know that the criminal official file is different from ordinary people, and the worst is literate, and many criminal officials are either quite knowledgeable or strategic, and there are many hidden dragons and crouching tigers who are distributed with them......

In a word, the criminal official file is a treasure, and all the border generals want it!

According to normal speaking, for 10,000 people, Hu Dahai can get more than 500 people, but this obviously can't satisfy Hu Dahai's appetite, and it can't satisfy the appetite of the whole America!

This is the scene of tonight, where the Blackwater Protector waits for the British King.

Looking at Hu Dahai's incredulous expression, Zhu Han couldn't help laughing and scolding: "Who has the heart to joke with you, these ten thousand people belong to you!" ”

Speaking of this, Zhu Han's expression also became serious: "Let me tell you, these 10,000 people are all Confucian disciples, and they are all waiting for the learning of the saints, and they have only one purpose for going to Yinzhou overseas, that is, to educate the local natives!" ”

Speaking of this, Zhu Han also stood up from his seat, walked towards the door, and said with emotion: "Yinzhou is a treasure land, but no matter how precious the land is, it needs people to develop it after all......

"Although Yinzhou is now full of natives and is a wild place, the foundation is still very good! As for how to become a paradise in the Ming Dynasty, it depends on how you use these 10,000 people! ”

Hu Dahai's face was solemn, and he knelt respectfully in front of Zhu Han: "Your Royal Highness, just look at it, if you don't govern Yinzhou into the most prosperous state and county in the Ming Dynasty, you will screw off my Hu Dahai's head and kick it as a ball!" ”

……

Five days later, most of the Heishui guards Hu Dahai, leading 20,000 troops, pressing 10,000 criminal officials, and going to Ningbo......

A few days later, he finally boarded the Ningbo fleet and set sail.

Ying Tian, the British Palace, Zhu Han stood in the attic of his mansion, looked in the direction of Ningbo, and muttered to himself: "Hu Dahai, don't let me down!" ”

……

On the ocean, a huge fleet is sailing lonely on the sea.

In this fleet, in addition to 20,000 elite soldiers, the rest of the whole body is a prisoner.

Kong Mingde, the head of Nankong's family, was awakened by freezing.

He looked around at the dark cabin, crowded together, and all kinds of pungent and unpleasant smells could not hide the pungent and unpleasant smell and fishy smell.

couldn't help but tighten the torn jacket on his body, and asked for his head with a wry smile.

The head of the Nankong family, who grew up in brocade clothes and jade food, how could he have suffered this sin?

It was his first time at sea, and his first winter at sea.

It had the impression that the moving sky in the south was always colder than that in the north, but now it was the first time that it knew that the moving sky on the sea was much colder than on land.

Suddenly, a cacophony of voices came.

"It's time to eat! Time to eat! ”

Immediately, I saw that the sailors who were wearing them were carrying a poke, and the barrel exuded a strong fishy smell.

Two palm-sized fish just fell into their own bowls!

That's the food on board, one meal a day, two cooked, fishy fish.

The prisoners on the ship ended with two lashes from the first day.

To the back of the hungry rather than eat......

When I went to the back, I saw the fish and stuffed it into my mouth frantically......

This process is only three days.

Reality quickly educated them.

The offender has no right to say it.

If you want to live, you must be honest and patient, obedient.

Thinking so, Kong Mingde scooped up a fish and stuffed it into his mouth, chewed it so much that he didn't even spit out the fish bones, chewed them all up, and swallowed them into his stomach!

He's going to live!

Even in the wilderness of Yinzhou, we must pass on the blood of the saint and the learning of the saint!

Kong Mingde was eating fish while looking at several large wooden boxes behind him.

Your Majesty is especially gracious and allows the books of the offender's files to be excluded from the scope of the raid!

As long as these scrolls are there, Kong Mingde has the confidence to keep the flame of the saint overseas!

"It's the place! Disembark the ship! ”

The huge fleet, which does not know how long it has been sailing on the ocean, finally reached its destination on this day.

10,000 people, just like that, with apprehension, with the fear of the unknown, slowly stepped onto the land.

In front of you is a snow-capped land, and in the distance is a mountain peak that rises into the sky.

At this time, the American continent has already entered a cold winter.

And when these prisoners were exiled, in addition to a cotton coat and some rations that could not be starved to death, there were also some farm tools, at most more than ten spears, kitchen knives and other things.

So when I got off the boat and looked at the scene in front of me, many people were stunned.

Let's not talk about what to do in the future, how to spend the current winter is the most headache for them now.

Finally, someone couldn't help it, walked towards the soldiers who escorted them here, and asked respectfully: "Ladies and gentlemen, these rations and clothes are not enough in this cold and snowy place, please give us some more supplies." ”

The one who spoke was a scholar, called Yan Xiangdong, who was also a student.

To say that this Yan Xiangdong is also unlucky.

He was originally a talent in the Shun Emperor period, and he was concentrating on preparing for the township examination, and the result was that Dayuan was finished!

It's over, it's over, anyway, the new dynasty is also going to hold the imperial examination, so it's a big deal to prepare again.

As a result, the imperial examination system of the new dynasty was restructured, and the sage Confucius and Mencius were not examined!

Yan Xiangdong was dumbfounded, he had studied the Four Books and Five Classics all his life, and he had learned them all in vain, and he had to start all over again.

But he has been in his thirties for a few years, and he is about to run for four, can he learn to go in again?
