Coastside.

When Zhu Yunxi landed with the soldiers of the new army, the crowd who came to greet him was cheered like a sea of cheers.

At this time, waiting for his triumphant return here, there are not only the army led by Lan Yu, but also many local people in Songjiang.

Most of the people of the Ming Dynasty still live in the countryside.

There are not many people living in Fucheng.

However, once the Japanese and the thieves occupied the city and defeated the army, they would also plunder the villages.

It's just that the distribution of villages is very scattered.

It takes a lot of time to loot one by one.

The time for the Japanese and the rebels to occupy Songjiang Province was still too short, and most of the villages had not yet been slaughtered and looted by them.

Despite this, the people in the countryside are also panicking.

In this era, there were no advanced means of transportation in later generations, and it was very difficult to escape.

Although many people escaped, there are many more who are still holding on to the village and leaving their fate to heaven.

Unexpectedly, in a blink of an eye, Songjiang Mansion City had been recovered.

The army of the imperial court almost fell from the sky, and swept away the pirates and thieves in an instant.

The news that the new army is a heavenly soldier and that the imperial grandson is the reincarnation of a god spreads like the wind throughout Songjiang.

It's been passed on vividly.

"Even the widows and thieves bowed down to Taisun, shouting that Taisun is a god."

"Isn't it? If it weren't for God, would he, a seven-year-old child, be able to command thousands of armies? ”

"Since ancient times, I don't think he is as good as him, even if the soldiers are reincarnated, it is impossible to pacify the robbers and thieves so quickly, right?"

"I heard that His Royal Highness Taisun only brought 500 soldiers and horses to recapture Songjiang Mansion City, and now he is taking men and horses to attack the stronghold of the Japanese Kou."

"Five hundred men will destroy the pirates and the thieves? Impossible, right? There are far more than 500 people in our village! ”

"The people of your village can compare with the heavenly soldiers of His Royal Highness Taisun?"

"That's just as well."

"I also heard Mr. Jiaoshu say that since ancient times, even if he is a seven-year-old emperor, after he ascends the throne, he is also handled by the minister who cares about the government, how can he really let his children manage the government? That is, our imperial grandson, the reincarnation of the gods, has such a ability. ”

"Isn't that right? Just because he is not the eldest grandson, and he is only seven years old, His Majesty is still very hesitant to canonize him as the imperial grandson. Later, it was a hundred civil and military officials, the people of the capital, a student of the country, and a general in the army, who wrote together to make him the prince. ”

"I have also heard of this, when a fisherman in Beijing cut out a cloth with "Da Ming Xing, Nan Wang Li" from the belly of the fish. At that time, His Royal Highness Taisun had just been canonized as the King of the South. ”

"I also heard that there are people who fished out a stone in the Yangtze River, which reads "The king of the south should stand, the world is auspicious", sure enough, this immortal is different from mortals, and the heavens have given their will. ”

"Hahaha, we also have a showman there who said that this kind of thing is all artificial, and it can only deceive the ignorant and foolish people, and they will not be deceived by scholars. I think he's just stupid to read. ”

Everyone nodded.

Xiucai is stupid when he reads books, so he will question everything.

The more everyone talked, the more excited they became, and the more outrageous they became.

"If he becomes the emperor in the future, then we will be blessed with the people of the Ming Dynasty."

"That's for sure. When the time comes, the world will be peaceful, the wind and rain will be smooth, and the grains will be abundant, and there will be more than enough every year! ”

"It is said that when His Royal Highness Taisun was born, auspicious clouds fell from the sky, and purple qi came 30,000 miles from the east."

"Isn't this normal, but whenever a saint is born and an immortal is reincarnated, the heavens will send down visions."

"I also heard that His Royal Highness Taisun was able to write at the age of one and martial arts at the age of two, and when he was three years old, Mr. Teaching could no longer teach him."

"When His Royal Highness Taisun was writing poems in Jixian Building, many people saw a dragon rising into the sky in the Yangtze River."

"His Royal Highness Taisun is infinitely powerful, and he can catch tigers with his bare hands."

"No, he's still a seven-year-old."

"You know a fart, he's a fairy, do the gods understand? Does Nezha know? At the age of three, he was able to make trouble in the sea, and the dragon king was caught skinning and cramping. Our Royal Highness is not inferior to Nezha, what is it to catch a tiger with bare hands? ”

"That's it. If you don't have this ability, how can you rely on a few hundred soldiers and horses to wipe out tens of thousands of pirates and thieves. ”

"Makes sense!"

"Makes sense!"

……

Throw plenty of dirt and some will be sure to stick.

But this kind of story, people always like to add oil and vinegar.

Add a little to each person, and it gradually becomes unrecognizable.

From the highness of Kua Taisun to the martial arts, he slowly went to the myth of the flood.

If I continue to talk about it, I am afraid that I will become holding the sun and the moon and picking the stars......

Seeing the ship docking, everyone's eyes widened.

Want to see if the legendary His Royal Highness the Taisun is the same as Which Qi, with three heads and six arms?

Amid the deafening cheers, Zhu Yunxi stepped down from the boat.

The people could clearly see that it was really a six- or seven-year-old doll, followed by a girl of average age.

The air is magnificent, and the spirit is flying.

Many majestic and mighty sergeants were surrounded, although they did not have three heads and six arms, and they did not hold weapons in their hands, but they seemed to be more powerful and domineering than the one in the temple.

What a reincarnation of a god!

Hula!

The people knelt down in unison.

"See His Royal Highness Taisun!"

"See His Royal Highness Taisun!"

……

Zhu Yunxi didn't expect such a big scene, but he was a little uncomfortable.

Lan Yu stepped forward to salute.

"Your Royal Highness Taisun, this battle of annihilation of the Japanese has created a miracle, I am afraid that there is no one before and no one after you."

The fire in the Japanese stronghold burned for three days.

He had also sent someone ashore to inform him before, and as soon as Lan Yu arrived at the beach, he received the news.

"It was rumored everywhere that Taisun was the reincarnation of a god, but we never believed it. Now it seems that it is true. Lan Yu was full of emotion.

Jiang Xuan said beside him: "If His Royal Highness Taisun is not the reincarnation of an immortal, how can he have such a ability at the age of seven? Although the people like to spread falsehoods, this time what they said is really right. ”

You two......

Zhu Yunxi's face turned red.

I'm just trying to fool the Japanese and their traitor servants to kill each other, so that the soldiers of the new army don't shed blood and sacrifice, and you still take this seriously?

But after looking at their expressions, and then at the people kneeling on the shore, he suddenly felt that this god stick might have to continue to pretend.

"Folks, get up, everybody."

Zhu Yunxi shouted to the people.

The ordinary people who were kneeling on the ground got up from the ground one after another when they heard the words, and thousands of pairs of eyes looked at him together.

For this "fairy grandson", the people are very curious.

"The pirates have been wiped out, and their nest has been destroyed by fire."

"All the pirates either died in the fire and burned to ashes, or they jumped into the sea to feed the fish."

As soon as Zhu Yunxi's voice fell, the people cheered again.

Many had tears in their eyes.

Although Songjiang Fucheng was captured, it was the first time since the founding of the Ming Dynasty.

But before that, the harassment of the countryside by small-scale pirates had never stopped.

As a citizen of the coastal area, who has no relatives killed by the Japanese invaders?

Who hasn't been robbed?

At this time, when he heard that the widow had been leveled by the grandson in one fell swoop, he suddenly burst into tears.

After the cheers gradually died down, Zhu Yunxi continued:

"Gu has already petitioned the imperial court to lift the sea ban and allow the people along the coast to go to sea freely, fish, and trade with overseas merchants."

As soon as these words came out, the surroundings suddenly fell silent.

The eyes of the people were full of incredulity.

In the field, an old man with gray hair asked in a trembling voice, "This ...... This...... Is this true? ”

Zhu Yunxi smiled and said: "Old man, although Gu is a child, he is also a grandson, and he is ordered to supervise the country, how can there be child's play?" ”

"Great!" The old man was so excited that he pounced, knelt down, looked up at the sky, and said, "God opens his eyes, the Ming Dynasty has opened the sea." ”

This is true not only of him, but of many people.

One by one, they were very excited.

With the production conditions of this era, what the people can do is to rely on the mountains to eat the mountains, and the sea to eat the sea.

Only in this way can you support your family.

But because of the rebellion of the Japanese invaders, from the beginning of the Yuan Dynasty, the imperial court began to ban the sea.

Despite this, the people secretly went to the sea to do business and fish...... There are always many people who go to the sea to make a living.

But once it is discovered by the imperial court, it will be severely punished.

Many people have lost their lives as a result.

But the people can't help it, they have to get a bite to eat, and they have to live.

Looking at the sea in front of them, it is like guarding a treasure mountain, but they are not allowed to enter the mountain, who can bear it?

Moreover, in order to prevent the people from secretly going to the sea, the government also drove them to the interior, and did not allow them to live on the seaside, and the fertile land along the coast was largely deserted.

Many people who used to live not far from the sea even died because of this.

At this time, when they heard that the sea ban was to be lifted and they were allowed to go to the sea freely, it is no wonder that these people in Songjiang couldn't help but be overjoyed and full of emotion.

The Japanese are gone, and they will go to sea freely in the future.

His Royal Highness Taisun is definitely the reincarnation of a god.

The people knelt down again and kowtowed in thanksgiving.

Zhu Yunxi said: "Gu also decided to choose a place on the seaside in this area to build a harbor city for ships to berth and trade. ”

"The imperial court will pull out the silver, and Lone also hopes that you will have the money to contribute, and you will work together to build this city well."

"Everyone said, okay?"

"Good!"

As soon as his words fell, the people replied in unison, and the sound shook for nine days.

A smile appeared at the corner of Zhu Yunxi's mouth.

Today's Songjiang Mansion is under its jurisdiction, which is the international metropolis of later generations - Shanghai.

As the outlet of the Yangtze River, it is connected to the Yangtze River, bordered by the sea, and the Huangpu River passes through it, which undoubtedly has a unique geographical advantage.

In addition, the foundation of Matsue Prefecture itself is also very good.

The soil is fertile, the yield per mu of the fields is very high, and the commodity economy is developed.

If it is said that the Ming Dynasty wants to open the Age of Discovery, carry out overseas colonization, and develop international trade, then Songjiang Mansion is undoubtedly the most suitable as the central node city.

He wants to build a miracle city here to promote the entire Ming Dynasty to accelerate towards a new era.

This starts with gaining the support of the local people.

If someone obstructs it on the grounds of destroying feng shui, although Zhu Yunxi can suppress it and enforce it, I am afraid it will still have a great adverse impact.

Directly use his identity as a "fairy" at the moment to resolve the contradictions that may occur in the future invisibly, why not?

What's more, the economic situation of the Ming court, Zhu Yunxi is still very clear.

To be honest, the treasury does not have much money.

After all, Daming has only been established for more than 20 years, and it uses troops every year, which costs a huge amount.

However, he wanted to vigorously develop the new army, engage in technological research and manufacturing, and build treasure ships that went to the sea...... All of this requires money.

How much more money can be spent to build a new harbor city?

It would be best if the private sector could be mobilized to raise funds.

Don't underestimate that.

Many temples among the people were built by the people spontaneously donated.

Even poor families who have no money can contribute through work.

After all, farming is seasonal.

The time of the year when I am really busy in the fields is mainly spring plowing and autumn harvesting.

In your spare time, you can contribute to construction.

Looking at the boiling people below and the enthusiastic crowd, Zhu Yunxi seemed to see a new city, slowly rising from the horizon.

……

……

……

Jinling.

Imperial Palace, Playing Heavenly Palace.

When the pilgrimage meeting is in progress.

After the civil and military officials worshipped, the eunuch shouted: "If there is something to start, there is nothing to retreat." ”

"Your Majesty!"

Huang Zicheng walked out of the courtiers' queue.

"The minister heard that there was good news ahead, but for some reason, Feng Sheng, the Duke of Song, received the good news, but instead of submitting it to the court, he locked up the person who reported the news."

"Oh?" Lao Zhu's voice was slightly surprised, and asked, "Feng Aiqing, is there such a thing?" ”

Feng Sheng hurriedly stood up and said, "Your Majesty, this matter is waiting to be reported. The good news I received yesterday was full of absurdity, and I knew at a glance that it was nonsense. ”

"The generals in the front, exaggerating and falsely reporting military exploits, although it is also a common thing, but it is the first time that Weichen has seen such a ridiculous report as this good news."

Therefore he took down the messenger and questioned him severely. But this person insisted that the good news was true. ”

"Weichen doesn't dare to make decisions without permission, he has brought the good news and submitted it to the royal court, please make a decision on your majesty."

As he spoke, he took out the good news from his sleeve and bent down to hold it with both hands.

The eunuch hurriedly walked over, took the good news, and then sent it to Lao Zhu.

Zhu Yuanzhang opened it and looked at it, and his face suddenly changed again and again.

At first, he was overjoyed, but then his face slowly became gloomy.

After a long time, Lao Zhu put away the good news and asked, "Feng Aiqing, you mean, I suspect that this good news is fake?" ”

Feng Sheng raised his head: "Since following His Majesty, the minister has fought in the east and west, leading the army for more than 30 years. There have been hundreds of large and small battles, and he can be called a person who knows the soldiers. ”

"In the eyes of the minister, the course of the war contained in the good news is not just exaggerated, but fabricated and untrue."

"The minister is not a three-year-old child, how can he be deceived by this kind of good news?"

Zhu Yuanzhang was thoughtful and silent.

After a while, he instructed the eunuch: "Send the good news and let everyone take a look." ”

The eunuch hurriedly took the report and sent it to the leading minister, and then circulated it one by one.

"Everybody's done with it! Say, what's in mind? Lao Zhu asked.

The ministers immediately spoke one after another.

"Your Majesty, Song Guogong is right, the content of this good news is too ridiculous."

"It's not like a military intelligence report, it's like a mythical story told by a storyteller."

"It is not surprising that there have always been false reports of military exploits. But he's not making it up, is it? ”

"Fake, this is absolutely fake!"

"If this is true, I will write my name backwards in the future!"

……

As usual, almost all civil and military officials decided that the good news must be fake.

Only Huang Zicheng said loudly: "Congratulations to Your Majesty, congratulations to Your Majesty!" In just a few days, good news came from the front line, and it seemed that the rebellion of the Japanese was decided. In a few days, Matsue Castle will definitely be recovered. ”
