Chapter 186: I Want to Be a Tyrant
Zhu Qizhen shook his head and said, "Catch the thieves and catch the stolen goods, I have no evidence, how can I punish them?" ”
Shi Heng was a little confused, he vaguely felt that there was something in the emperor's words, but he didn't know what it meant.
Since they know that it is the Wa State that is doing things behind their backs, according to common sense, they must be thinking about how to clean them up next, why do they say that there is no evidence now?
Since this kind of matter has already involved the diplomacy of the two countries, of course, who has the right to speak has the right to speak, and is there any evidence...... Is it important?
"I don't know the emperor...... What kind of evidence do you want? ”
Shi Heng secretly said in his heart, don't you want me to help you collect evidence before making a decision?
That's fine, at least it won't be true.
But there's really no need for that......
Zhu Qizhen shook his head with a smile and said, "I don't want any evidence, even if I have evidence, what can I do to prove that the Japanese State is really funding the Japanese Kou behind their backs?" Do you give an order, or send troops to attack? ”
Shi Heng was even more puzzled, since you know that the evidence is useless, then you still talk about an egg?
Zhu Qizhen beckoned to him and motioned for Shi Heng to look at the map.
Shi Heng followed the position of Zhu Qizhen's finger and looked, there was the coastline of the Ming Dynasty, and the country of Wa was across the sea.
Zhu Qizhen pointed to the map and said: "Since there is no direct relationship between the Japanese and the Japanese country, of course, it has nothing to do with my Ming Dynasty, these people are pure outlaws, it stands to reason that they should be everywhere, but why do they only stare at the coastal raids of the Ming Dynasty?" ”
Shi Heng was stunned, didn't he ask knowingly, of course it was because, the Japanese have a relationship with the Japanese state!
Can they still turn around and plunder the Japanese kingdom?
Taking a step back, even if these people really don't recognize their six relatives, how can the Wa Kingdom compare with Da Ming?
A rich man from all over the world, a poor bare man, who has a bad brain and robs a poor ghost?
"The emperor doesn't know that the Japanese country is actually very poor, not to mention that they are secretly ...... with the Japanese invaders."
"What I'm saying now is that the Wa Kingdom has nothing to do with the Wakos!"
Shi Heng's face was full of question marks, and he secretly said in his heart, what do you want to say?
Zhu Qizhen saw that he didn't understand, so he further said: "Since it doesn't matter, it stands to reason that the Japanese are extremely vicious, and they should also attack the coastal people of the Japanese country, you say, isn't it?" ”
"It stands to reason...... That's it, but ......"
Shi Heng was just about to explain, and suddenly, he seemed to understand something.
His frowning brows slowly loosened, and after thinking for a long time, he said: "The emperor is right, since there is no subordinate relationship between the Wa Kingdom and the Wa Kou, these thieves will definitely attack the coast of the Wa Kingdom. ”
Zhu Qizhen nodded with satisfaction and said, "Have all those widows been exterminated?" ”
"Back to the emperor, the Japanese are not a whole, the three-headed Jiao Shenlang exterminated this time is the biggest Japanese leader, however, there are some other forces on the sea, these people see that my Ming soldiers and horses are invincible, they will not dare to attack rashly, they can only target other places, such as ...... Wa ......"
Zhu Qizhen said with a smile: "The Japanese invaded the Japanese country, and there will be a good show to watch then!" ”

Not long after, Shi Heng came out of the Forbidden City and saw Li Zhen head-on.
"Rui Guo Gong ......"
Li Zhen waved her hand and said, "Don't talk nonsense, how many people and how many weapons are needed, just open your mouth!" ”
Shi Heng was secretly happy in his heart, and said tentatively: "Rui Guogong, I heard that your Type 15 rifle ......"
Li Zhen looked at him with disgust and said, "The Type 15 rifle is the latest, you can't just take it out!" If you fall into the hands of the enemy and are learned, will you not miss a great thing? ”
Shi Heng thought about it, and it was indeed the truth, so he said: "You have to get me something good, otherwise, how can you give them a deterrent?" ”
Li Zhen pondered for a moment and said, "In this way, I will give you two hundred fourteen types and twenty light cannons, right?" ”
The Type 14 has been discontinued, and it is basically used as a training gun, and even if it is picked up, the loss can be smaller.
Shi Heng nodded again and again, if it was equipped with a new type of firearm, it would not be enough to fight with the defensive strength of the Japanese State!
"In terms of personnel, I have three hundred people in my hands, which is roughly enough, but those few broken ships are too small, I heard that Quanzhou Shipyard is building treasure ships, you tell the emperor, get us a few boats!"
Li Zhen frowned and said: "The treasure ship of Quanzhou is used to go to the Western Ocean, and it was given to you, what should I do if I go to the Western Ocean?" ”
Shi Heng said: "Why don't you get one, it is important to go to the West, but the affairs of our side are also very important!" ”
"Okay, get one for you, just one!"
"Don't worry, I only need one!"
Li Zhen asked again: "As for money and food, how much do you want, just ask!" ”
Shi Heng smiled and said: "That's not necessary, on Zhoushan Island, there are still savings from Shen Lang for many years, I can't say the specific amount, there are always hundreds of thousands of taels." What's more, our task is to grab silver for the emperor......"
"What robbery?"
Li Zhen suddenly became cautious and said: "What you do has nothing to do with the Ming Dynasty and the emperor, you have to remember, don't discredit the emperor!" ”
"Yes, yes, it's okay!"
Shi Heng clasped his fists and smiled meaningfully, then turned to leave.
At this moment, he only has two words for the emperor, admiration!
…………
Nanjing Zhao Prison, Yuan Bin has begun to interrogate Wang Gongming.
This Hubu Shangshu is a Jinshi in the Yongle period, an old minister of the Four Dynasties, seeing that he can go home to recuperate in Nanjing for two years, but now he has been tortured and unhuman.
It's not that Yuan Bin is violent, it's just that to deal with this kind of person, it is impossible not to move his muscles and bones.
The reader has such a temper, the more polite you are to him, the more energetic he is, and he will be punished directly, but he will be honest.
So as soon as Wang Gongming saw Yuan Bin, he howled: "Spare your life, spare your life!" ”
Yuan Bin first took out a few books and threw them aside, and said: "I just took a general look at the article you wrote, it is very literary and dignified, but I don't know why, you want to collude with the Japanese invaders?" ”
When Wang Gongming heard this, his eyes flashed, and his face was already red to the root of his ears.
Yuan Bin continued: "The crime you committed, you already know it in your own heart, this kind of thing can't be escaped, how the emperor deals with the rebels, you must also know what the result of those suspected rebel officials is, you don't need me to say more, right?" ”

[At the beginning of the civil fort, the god of war of the Ming Dynasty was a little panicked] 【】
Wang Gongming's face became more and more ugly, since the emperor suddenly appeared in Nanjing, hundreds of them were arrested in just a few days, those who were beheaded, those who were Ling Chi, and those who were exiled......
The former four eucalyptus of Hongwu are nothing more than that, right?
Thinking of this, his face couldn't help but become more and more pale, trembling all over, and he couldn't speak.
Yuan Bin said again: "The population of your family ...... I'll take a look......."
As he spoke, he picked up a dense booklet on the table, and then said, "There are more than 100 people, and this person is really not small." ”
Wang Gongming was already so frightened that his soul was not possessed, and he hurriedly kowtowed: "I beg the emperor to spare my life, and I ask the commander to make my lord spare my life, old man...... I...... I confess that I coveted the money of the Japanese ......"
"Just silver?"
Yuan Bin stared at him, his originally calm gaze suddenly became cold, and he said sharply: "Your current crime is not corruption and bribery, but collaborating with the enemy and plotting rebellion!" ”
Wang Gongming's body trembled: "Old man...... I...... I'm willing to make it right! ”
Yuan Bin said: "Then it depends on whether you are sincere, and it depends on whether the emperor is willing to give you a chance to correct." ”
Wang Gongming hurriedly said: "Absolutely sincere, I hope to ask the commander to say a few kind words in front of the emperor, and ...... There will be a lot of thanks. ”
Yuan Bin smiled and said, "Your family wealth has been confiscated, how can you thank you?" ”
"I ...... I...... There is also silver, there are several trading houses in Ningbo, although they are not in my name, but they are also my assets, and ......"
Yuan Bin nodded and said: "Tell me all your assets, in addition, if there are any other people who collude with you, their origins and names, tell me all of them, this is the only way to protect the lives of your whole family, but if you have half a point to hide, then you can't help it!" ”
Beads of sweat dripped from Wang Gongming's forehead, and he seemed to struggle in his heart.
He knew very well that once he said it, he really had nothing.
However, if you don't say it, this old life will be gone......
Moreover, the whole family has to be buried together.
Yuan Bin saw him hesitating, so he said: "I still have to interrogate other people, I don't have much attention on you, your charges have been confirmed, whether you recruit or not, you can do it yourself!" ”
Having said that, where to go, it seems that it is already obvious to Wang Gongming.
He wept and said, "If you want to say, you will say it." ”
Yuan Bin said: "Come on, give him pen, ink, paper and inkstone, watch him write, remember, this is the only chance to protect your whole family, if there is anything to hide, and it will be recruited by others in the future, then ...... It's not going to be easy, don't blame me for saying ugly things up front. ”
Wang Gongming hurriedly said: "Yes...... It's ......"
At this moment, his heart was in pain.
Under this pain, he confessed to all those who had business dealings with him, those who had dealings with the Japanese bandits, and those who were suspected of smuggling.
This time, there were more than 50 people who were prosecuted.
is worthy of being a Jinshi, and just by memory, even the evidence of these people's crimes has been written silently.
When Zhu Qizhen saw this list, he had to admire this guy, he was really a fucking talent.
It's a pity that being smart doesn't work in a serious place.

[At the beginning of the civil fort, the god of war of the Ming Dynasty was a little panicked] 【】
Most of these more than 50 people are either rich or expensive, but the problem is that before, Jinyiwei's screening did not find any clues.
Even Wang Gongming's side was only arrested because a family member stole an East Pearl and touched the melon along the vine.
This thing is very intriguing!
Judging from Wang Gongming's confession, these people have long been united in private and formed an iron plate.
They smuggled on weekdays, although they had some relationship with the Japanese invaders, but they did not rely entirely on the Japanese invaders, they had their own fleet, their own routes, and purchased goods from Jiangnan on a large scale, and then transported them to the Japanese kingdom, Luzon, Annam, Champong, Siam and other places for sale.
Then buy spices, cane sugar, ivory and other materials from the local area, and return to Daming to sell.
In this way, the profit of a boat can reach several thousand taels of silver.
Moreover, Wang Gongming does not seem to be the person who speaks for this group, they are more like a board of directors, and Wang Gongming is only one of the directors.
Their power has infiltrated all fields, and they are simply pervasive, and they only need to be strictly guarded against to evade the pursuit of the Jinyi Guard.
The more Zhu Qizhen looked at it, the more angry he became, and said angrily: "These people, every day shouting that the law of their ancestors is immutable, I want to open the sea, they do everything possible to stop them, but they are doing smuggling business in private, monopolizing huge profits on the sea, and making a lot of money. ”
Yuan Bin said with a sense of heart: "Your Majesty, you have already dealt with a lot of people these days, if you attack them again, I am afraid it will be ...... The impact on you is not good, the minister suggests, it is better to keep an eye on them secretly first, and ...... them one by one"
"What are you going to do, I'm still afraid of the impact? What's the big deal about saying that I'm a dumb king, a tyrant? ”
Zhu Qizhen didn't care about reputation or anything, and continued: "Not only must we arrest them, but we must also be fast, we must wipe out all these people, no matter who is involved, they will be severely punished!" ”
That night, the Jinyi guards were all dispatched.
They were divided into small groups, according to the list, invaded the door, and then one by one, the officials or gentry who were quite influential in the local area were brought out.
All of a sudden, Nanjing City once again sounded all kinds of crying fathers and mothers.
At the same time, the men and horses of the 3,000 battalions began to go to the counties of Nanzhili, and even began to attack Jiangxi and Zhejiang.
The atmosphere suddenly became tense, and in just a few days, hundreds more people were arrested.
At the moment, he was tortured, and he was beaten urgently, and he began to confess more people.
When he saw the stacks of confessions sent by Yuan Bin, Zhu Qizhen was stunned and sighed: "So many, how many people are here?" ”
Yuan Bin said very seriously: "There are almost a thousand people!" ”
There is no way, at first, in order to protect their families, some people just confessed to the same party, but later, for fear of dissatisfaction, and also knew that sooner or later others would have to confess themselves, so they began to confess to various other crimes, who killed someone, who was greedy for ink......
People are like this, once they start to confess, then it is like a rotten crotch, and they don't have to worry about having more debts.
"Thousands...... Fuck, how can there be so many ......"
"Your Majesty, this is just the beginning, I'm afraid there are more!"

[At the beginning of the civil fort, the god of war of the Ming Dynasty was a little panicked] 【】
Zhu Qizhen thought for a while and asked, "What is the reaction of these people, is their mouth hard?" ”
Yuan Bin said firmly: "Many crimes can be mutually corroborated, they know that they can't deny it, most of them confess, some are hard-mouthed, and they will be recruited with a little torture." ”
Zhu Qizhen asked again: "This time...... How many people might end up implicating? ”
"At least thousands ......"
Zhu Qizhen gasped, and then said, "Is it all the crime of copying the house?" ”
"Nine times out of ten."
At this moment, Zhu Qizhen suddenly felt that such a result did not seem to be bad, these people had accumulated countless amounts of silver through smuggling by sea......
