Huguang'an Luzhou, the three little old men who belong to the dog have been brought into prison for interrogation, King Xing and Zhu Houyu trust Su Xiaolou more and more, the three of them often talk about political affairs, Zhu Houyu is quite assertive at a young age, if you look at the overall situation and take charge of the feed, King Xing is a little ashamed, although many of Su Xiaolou's views are always biased, but they always hit the point, and they are also talentable.
In the twelfth year of Zhengde, Fernand Perez de Andrade, the envoy of Frang Ji to the Governor of Manchuria, led four warships to the waters of Guangdong, China, accompanied by Franc Ji's deputy envoy Pilleg, who landed in Tuen Mun (now Hong Kong), leaving behind two warships, and the remaining two came to Guangzhou.
In the thirteenth year of Zhengde, they ignored the laws of the Ming Dynasty and seized Tuen Mun, Dongguan County, Guangzhou Prefecture, which was under the jurisdiction of the Guangdong Chengxuan Political Envoy, not only camped, plundered strong men and women, and forcibly bought and sold, but also set up colonial institutions to provoke the authority of the Ming Dynasty.
The ministers of the court and the central government were excited, and they all demanded to recover the sovereignty of Tuen Mun, and King Xing talked about Franco's face full of contempt: "But the barbarian small country, vainly trying to provoke my Ming authority, is really beyond my power, my Ming country is strong, millions of soldiers, wave of your hand can drive them away." ”
At this time, the strength of the weapon has long exceeded that of the Ming Dynasty at this time, and the courtiers of the Ming Dynasty did not realize it: "Lord, I can't agree with what you said, what is the use of many people under artillery fire, to the era of weapons, there are many places in Nanjing City that sell firearms privately, I have to see, their smoothbore guns are indeed more sophisticated than most of the Ming Dynasty's firearms, according to the merchants who come and go in Guangzhou, their ships are as strong as iron armor, and there are four or five big guns on each side of the ship's broadside, With a single flick of his ability to smash approaching ships, this Franz man is not to be underestimated. ”
"You kid, you can't do it when you're usually crazy, how did you get to this point where you have the ambition of others to destroy your prestige, it's really strange."
"It's Brother Su, what's so terrible about the little Franco, these merchants always love to run the train with their mouths full, exaggerating, the court said that they came from a small island in the South Seas, most of the small islands in the South Seas are hairy and drink blood, I think it is these merchants from the feudal kingdom who came to Guangzhou to buy a few big ships to make a possibility, and took advantage of the Tuen Mun garrison not to check, occupying Tuen Mun, what is so terrible! ”
Before coming to the Ming Dynasty, the Franco-Robot people first occupied the Manchurian country (Manraka translated by Malacca, now in the Malay Peninsula), as their transit point in Southeast Asia, in order to open the forcible seizure of Southeast Asian countries, at this time the Ming Dynasty did not have a war with the Franco-Machine, the ancient information was blocked, and the Ming monarchs and ministers had a disdainful attitude towards the Franco-Machine, no wonder Zhu Houxi and King Xing would not take the Franco-Mechanic seriously.
After chatting and chatting, Helian Zhi came in, and in less than an hour, the dog's brother was all recruited, and Helian Zhi said that this was it! I haven't even had any good stuff on it yet!
Hearing the truth, Helian Zhi's scalp was a little numb, and his rectum was twisted into nine bends and eighteen bends, and he didn't know who was right and who was wrong, everyone looked at Helian Zhi's face and became more curious, and urged: "Say it quickly!" Say it! ”
Changshou Village was originally not called Changshou Village, it was called Peach Blossom Village, the farmland in the mountains was difficult to reclaim, and the harvest was not very good, but it was very suitable for planting peach trees, so they planted a lot of peach trees in every household, the peaches were big and sweet, but they were not selling very well, just because the peaches here were different from other peaches, the whole body was red, people felt unlucky, and few people were willing to buy them.
Later, an old man in the village went to the county to sell peaches and bought them very well, and they inquired only to know that the old man said that he was free from disease and disaster by eating his red peaches, and lived for such a long time, and the people in the village followed suit, and there were many people who came to buy their peaches, and the world was afraid of death, and the unreliable could not help the desire in their hearts, and wanted to try it, in case it could! In this way, the peaches in the village that were rotten on the trees in previous years were sold out this year.
The people in the village are not satisfied with such an opportunity and sell the peaches on the tree, they want to make more money, more and more money, they pay attention to longevity, and want to turn this place into a longevity village, the elderly people in the village will be taken care of, carefully cared for, do not eat meat, work and rest regularly, drink medicine all year round to regulate the body, this is a good thing, but they found that the decline of the body is unstoppable, and paying a huge price can only make the decline of the body a little slower than the people outside the villageThey can't afford such a price, and if they want to live a long life, they have to start from the source, so they will pay attention to the children in the village, so the frail and sick children in the village will be secretly executed and buried in the peach forest, and only the healthy children can survive in the longevity village.
So the children in the village are getting stronger and stronger, the old people in the village are living longer and longer, the peaches in the village are getting more and more red, and slowly they changed their name to Longevity Village, and there are gradually unwritten rules in the village, whose old people live longer, whose peaches can be sold more expensive, from the beginning of the clothes are not untied, the diet and medicine must take care of the elderly, to later use all kinds of home remedies for the old people to continue their lives, and even for the old people to exchange blood and inject younger blood, the old people in the village are tortured, but for the sake of the next generation have chosen to endure.
An old man in the village who is more than one hundred and twenty years old gradually appeared, the village chief is very concerned, if he can live to be one hundred and thirty years old, he can break the longevity record of the longevity village, and their peaches can be sold higher, so the old man is locked up in the house all the year round, and the three brothers also invite a young and beautiful woman to massage the old man every day, only give the old man a vegetarian diet every day, do not eat meat and wine, a finger-long needle pierces the top of the head every day to stimulate the nerves, the painful person spasms in bed, and every six months the skin and flesh are separated for the old man to exchange blood.
Years of physical and psychological torture have made the old man unable to speak, and finally he is almost one hundred and thirty years old, and the methods of the three brothers are becoming more and more cruel, the youngest son adopted by the old man cannot bear him to be tortured, he knows that his father's dying wish is to drink wine, so he left the three brothers to feed the old man a sip of wine, and the old man was satisfied.
The younger son's behavior made the village chief very dissatisfied, and angered the three brothers, they gave the younger son's son Changsheng medicine, causing the elder to be sick and weak, the village chief asked the younger son to execute his son Changsheng, the younger son resolutely refused, which violated the interests of the whole village, and the people of the village helped the three brothers execute the poor father and son overnight, and since then, there has been a crazy woman in the village.
