The sun rises in the east, and countless golden rays of sunlight spread across the entire island.

"Long live Daming!"

"Long live the Emperor!"

"The city is in the people, and the city is dead!"

……

The 4,000 soldiers gathered in the big arena, showing that the military discipline was very strict, and they were shouting loud slogans in a neat manner.

Although Huo Hai and the others were far away from their homeland, they became more and more proud of their country in their hearts, and they were even more proud of having a wise and martial emperor.

As for this Daming City, it is a sacred and inviolable place.

Now the city is coveted by the Korean garrison on Jeju Island, which wants to ruin the good life of their 4,000 soldiers, which makes the returning soldiers look very angry.

At this moment, a little old man wearing a North Korean official uniform was escorted to the high platform, looking very embarrassed.

"I made excuses to stir up trouble earlier, and I already knew that this old guy was not a good thing!"

"If I stay here, Lao Tzu will definitely end squeezing out this old thing on the spot!"

"It's a good thing you're not here, if you mess around, how can you let everyone see the result for yourself today?"

……

Huo Guangming and other soldiers saw that Jeju Mu Li Zhunbin was escorted up, and combined with Li Zhunbin's deliberate act of stirring up trouble earlier, they seemed to reproach without the slightest favor.

Lee was thrust and stumbled a few steps before falling to the ground.

He was born in a family in North Korea, and now he is in the important position of Jeju pastor, so it can be said that he is the upper class of the Korean state, but now he has become a prisoner, and his life is experiencing ups and downs.

Since taking office, he has always wanted to make a career, otherwise he would not want to eliminate the Mumeng and other forces on the island.

However, Mumeng did not solve it, and the Ming Dynasty actually stretched out his hand and built a new city in the east of Senzhi Island.

It is precisely like this, after getting the support of Li Kepei, when he saw that the strength of Daming City was suddenly empty, he wanted to take the opportunity to take this Daming City.

Who would have thought that he not only underestimated the strength of this Ming army that liked to gamble, but also overestimated the combat power of his Jeju garrison, and the 5,000 troops led by him were vulnerable to the 1,000 defenders who took the initiative to fight to meet them.

"Li Mushou, let's meet again!" Xu Shiying saw that the culprit was escorted up, and greeted with a smile.

Although he did not suffer any losses this time, Li Zhunbin's behavior not only touched his bottom line, but also violated the dignity of the Ming Dynasty.

Li Zhunbin couldn't help but shudder, and hurriedly emphasized: "I am a courtier of North Korea, you ...... You can't dispose of this officer! ”

"Your North Korea was originally a Ming vassal state, and earlier your North Korea did not agree to send troops to help the Ming Dynasty recover Jianzhou, but now you want to seize my Ming city. This governor will behead you today, you disloyal and unrighteous hypocrite! Xu Shiying pointed at Li Zhunbin's nose and scolded angrily.

"Kill!"

"Kill!"

"Those who offend me will be punished even if they are far away!"

……

Huo Hai and other 4,000 soldiers showed the bloody nature of the Chinese boys, and now Li Zhunbin's behavior also touched what they wanted to guard, and they also denounced it.

Xu Shiying was very satisfied with the cohesion of the current army, at least this army has a strong sense of mission to defend the dignity of the Ming Dynasty, so he turned his head to look at Li Zhunbin: "Li Mushou, have you heard the voices of the soldiers?" Those who offend me will be punished even if they are far away, don't do such stupid things in the next life! ”

"My lord, I ...... I am willing to be your dog, and please forgive me this time, I will definitely obey you in the future! Li Zhunbin felt the fear of death, and immediately wagged his tail and crawled over pitifully.

Xu Shiying kicked Li Zhunbin away, and said with great confidence: "If someone else is to be the Jeju pastor, he will be obedient and obedient, or maybe there will be no need for Jeju pastor in the future!" ”

"Don't! Lord Governor, I was wrong, I was wrong! Li Zhunbin had already put down the disguise of a celebrity and gentleman, and immediately continued to plead with bitter tears.

So far, he really regrets it.

The Ming Dynasty is obviously so powerful, their North Korea is just a small vassal state, and they actually want to try the city of the Ming Dynasty.

Not to mention that he is a little Jeju pastor, even if it is Li Kepei, who is a leftist politician, in the eyes of the Ming Dynasty, he is just a clown.

Li Zhunbin looked at the big knife that had been raised high, knowing that regret was no longer of any use, and silently hoped in his heart that he would not do stupid things to be enemies of the Ming Dynasty in the next life.

Burst!

As the executioner waved the broadsword in his hand, tears of regret flowed from Jeju Mu Lee Junbin's eyes, and his head rolled from the high platform to the ground.

"Those who offend me will be punished even if they are far away!" The four thousand soldiers looked at the Jeju Mushou who had been killed, and now they had the determination to dominate the entire East China Sea, and shouted in unison with high emotions.

On the same day, the army of the headquarters of the East China Sea Governor's Office was collectively dispatched.

After the Nanshan tribe and Mumeng learned the news, they also came to help clear the remnants of the Jeju Island garrison that were trying to seize Daming City.

Burst! Burst! Burst!

The 4,000 garrisons of the Ming Dynasty had the most advanced bows and crossbows, and even some soldiers were given Xuefeng knives, and they launched an indiscriminate slaughter in the face of the poorly equipped Jeju garrison.

"The Ming army has come for revenge!"

"Run, let's run!"

"Li Zhunbin, this is going into the fire pit with us!"

……

The Jeju garrison was simply unable to cope with the battle, or perhaps did not dare to do so at all, and after the first wave of attacks by the Ming army, they chose to flee one after another.

Since the other forces on the island were all looking to the Ming Dynasty, most of the soldiers chose to leave the island by boat, and only a small number of soldiers chose to hide or surrender.

The real control of Jeju Island was the North Korean army, and now that the garrison has collapsed, it can almost be said that North Korea has lost control of the island.

Chen San led a team to Jeju Muyamen and set fire to the ruling institution of North Korea.

The officials of the two counties never dared to underestimate Daming, and even had always longed for Daming, but they sent Xu Shiying the "Book of Returning to Han".

Although Xu Shiying, the governor of the East China Sea, was satisfied with the strength of this army, he did not dare to be too optimistic in his heart, and even reported everything to the emperor in 1510.

He was able to remove Joseon's rule on Samji Island without permission, but with his understanding of the emperor, not only would he not be punished for his response, but he would probably be rewarded, and even verbally praised in the future.

Of course, everything is his own optimistic speculation, and now he only hopes that the emperor will be satisfied with what he has done, the governor of the East China Sea, and he will do his best to repay the emperor's kindness.

In October, the autumn in the capital is crisp.

The news of the Ming army's recovery of Jianzhou has returned, and millions of victims from Henan have arrived in Jianzhou one after another, and the empire seems to be developing in a positive direction.

There are now more than two months left in the second year of Hongzhi, but the people of the capital clearly feel that they are in a thriving empire, even if their emperor is indeed a tyrant in the mouth of the literati.

It's just that the eyes of the masses are bright, and the weight of a tyrant who has risen up a war for the sake of millions of victims has become heavier in their hearts.

"The king of Korea is on his way to worship!"

"Mongolian Manduhai ordered 30,000 cotton clothes from the Ming Dynasty!"

"The envoys of the Nanyang Domain King have arrived in Beijing one after another, and some people look like ghosts!"

……

Due to the policy of opening up to the outside world, the Hongzhi Dynasty has more and more contacts with foreign countries, so the new things in the capital seem to be endless.

It's just that the most popular thing in recent times is the execution ground, where the convicts executed after the autumn have begun to queue up, and someone will be guillotined at noon almost every day.

The morning of 14 October was another solemn day of execution.

"It's coming!"

"Smash him!"

……

The onlookers had already surrounded the execution ground, and when they saw the prisoner van escorting the prisoner appeared, even some people smashed the rotten vegetable leaves they had prepared.

The second year of Hongzhi can be said to be a year of blood shed by the powerful and official gentry.

In addition to the powerful people who were found to be in the early rectification of finance, there were also river officials who caused the flooding of Kaifeng City and most of Henan to become a Zeguo, and almost all the officials of this system were spared.

It is precisely like this, whether it is a high-ranking magnate or an insignificant sesame petty official, in fact, none of them are wronged.

It's just that there are three people who have attracted the most attention today, namely: Wang Qi, the commander of the horses, Ye Qi, the left attendant of the former household department, and Zhou Nai, the governor of Caoyun and the governor of river transportation.

The royal family, the old ministers and the crime are simply worthless this year, and today they are about to stage three consecutive beheadings.

"Daddy!"

After Ye Qi was smashed by rotten vegetable leaves, he was escorted to the execution table again, thinking of his original flowery life, he couldn't help but feel sad in his heart.

His ancestor was the prime minister of the Southern Song Dynasty, although the glory is no longer there, but he can be regarded as a famous family. He was a senior high school scholar in Jingtai for five years, and then got a good errand in the imperial history through a relationship.

When their civilian-bureaucratic clique wanted to get rid of the military general Shi Heng, he played the role of a pioneer in a hurry, and although he was demoted to the rank of local magistrate, he won the most important political resources.

Originally, he became the head of the household department, and it was a matter of course for him to become the head of the household department in the future, and this position was also strongly supported by the Huai salt merchant group.

It's just that Daming actually ushered in a tyrant. Not only did he fail to implement his political proposition of turning the law into a law of folding, but he was also forced to resign and return to the field.

In the face of such an unscrupulous tyrant, he has accumulated enough wealth and prestige to return to Huai'an to enjoy his beautiful retirement.

The construction of the Humble Administrator's Garden and the marriage of a girl like a flower and jade every year can be regarded as being able to comfort your wounded heart, but you don't want to suddenly cause trouble.

Because the Ming Emperor rectified the finances, he dug out the crimes of his son Ye Rongtian, and was raided by the Ming Emperor.

Originally, at most, he lost part of his family wealth, but it came too suddenly, and he copied all the kiln silver he had accumulated over the years.

It is precisely because of his large amount of greedy ink that he was copied out, and the matter cannot be hidden, and he is even involved in the shocking case of the north embankment of Kaifeng City.

If there was no son to lure the court to raid the house, he would probably still be living a fairy-like life now, right?

"Actually, I'm a ...... Victims! Zhou Nai, the governor of Caoyun and the governor of Heyun, looked at the people who smashed vegetable leaves at him, but he muttered to himself.

He is different from Ye Qi, who was born in a famous family, but he is a genuine poor student. It's just that after taking the exam, he has exhausted his family resources, and then he failed several examinations, so that he has already incurred debts in the capital.

Originally, he was also an aspiring young man who wanted to serve the court, but the officialdom was far more muddy than he wanted, and he had no background and could only rely on money to open the way.

His six-year career as a magistrate made him completely disappointed in the imperial court, and he was always burdened with Beijing debts, so he finally had to choose to be a corrupt official.

As soon as he thought of this, he couldn't help but turn his head to look at Wang Gong, the commander of the horses.

Perhaps his coming to this point is inseparable from his desire for power, but the initial change is undoubtedly this kind of Beijing debt, and it is precisely in order to repay the Beijing debt that he chose to be a corrupt official.

Chop!

With the order of the warlord, the executioner immediately waved the butcher knife in his hand.

There is only one exception, Zhou Nai, the governor of Caoyun and the governor of Heyun, is deeply guilty, and the Hongzhi Dynasty advocates harsh punishment, so Zhou Nai's sentencing is Ling Chi.

In addition to Ling Chi, Zhou Nai's head will be protected, and it will be hung at the head of the newly built Jianzhou City.

"Da Ming is in charge!"

The onlookers saw a few maggots being cut in front of them, and saw that the current saint spared no effort to eliminate the evils of the court, but they knew that the Hongzhi Dynasty would get better and better.

Forbidden City, Fengtian Temple.

Officials above the fourth rank stand in the hall, and outside are middle and lower-level officials, and in the hall is the more and more majestic of today's saint - Hongji.

Zhu Youzhu sat on the dragon chair, and now he can be said to be powerful, enough to look at everything.

"Xiao Wang to meet Your Majesty, long live my emperor, long live, long live!" Zhu Tongbiao, the king of Zhou, who was wearing a royal robe, came to the main hall for the first time and knelt down respectfully.

The first king of Zhou, Zhu Hu, was the fifth son of Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang, and he opened the feudal domain in the fourteenth year of Hongwu. Because he is the younger brother of Zhu Di, the ancestor of the Ming Dynasty, after Zhu Di seized the world, Lu rice rose to 20,000 stones.

Since the Taizu period, the wealth of the Zhou royal family has increased day by day. It's just that who would have thought that a sudden flood would cause their clan of King Zhou to lose their fiefdom.

Although the current Zhou King Zhu Tongbi has only been canonized for two years, he is already in his early forties, and the whole person looks white and fat.

As the reputation of the tyrant Zhu Youzhu became more and more famous, more and more people now feared this emperor.

Zhu Youzhu asked a few words as usual, and then handed Guo Yong a look.

Guo Yong nodded first, and then opened the holy decree: "Fengtian carries the emperor, and the edict says: The land of the Nine Domains, in the Weibian Mansion, is crossed by wind and rain, and the boats and vehicles are reaching." The god of the ancient emperor, Gao, and the crown of the Chinese soil...... The north embankment of Kaifeng City bursts, and within the pheasant, the palace has never been miserable...... Now Kaifeng City has been flooded, so all the people of the Zhou royal family moved to Jianzhou City,"

"Thank you, Your Majesty, Longen!" Although Zhu Tongbiao, the king of Zhou, was not satisfied, he could only respond stubbornly.

Zhu Youzhu placed the king of Zhou in Jianzhou, which was due to multiple considerations.

A palace falls in Jianzhou, even if he dies suddenly, it is impossible for the court in the future to ignore it. In addition, the Zhou Wangfu is actually the richest vassal king, and if all the Zhou Wangzong clans are placed in Jianzhou, it will undoubtedly be able to drive the local economy.

Not to mention that he needs to completely naturalize and build a state, and the establishment of a state is his first step to the east, so naturally he can't end it hastily, but to integrate the economy and politics into the Ming system.

In addition, if China wants to truly achieve its rise, then it must not adopt the strategy of closing the country to the mainland, let alone stagnate, but must continue to extend eastward.

The east of the Ming Dynasty cannot stop at Jianzhou, nor can it just be the east of Asia, but must find a way to become the east of the world.
