Chapter 180: The Past (1)

This letter is extremely long, Li Dao read it for a long time before reading it, and it was written by Zhu Dahai a long time ago and specially left for him.

The letter began with a brief introduction to Zhu Dahai's ancestors, and continued to write until his life, and finally asked Li Dao for a few things.

Zhu Dahai is indeed a descendant of Emperor Jianwen, when Emperor Jianwen first came to this island, except for some uncivilized natives, there were almost no outsiders, with his two monks and a group of loyal attendants, easily conquered the island.

Although Emperor Jianwen could not continue to be the emperor, he was also comfortable as an island owner, and with the support of a group of subordinates, he enslaved the local natives, taught them knowledge and advanced production, and soon the entire island was prosperous under his planning.

The Zhu clan began to multiply on Si Ming Island, and there was a hidden trend of prosperity.

It's a pity that the good times didn't last long, and Emperor Jianwen felt ashamed of Taizu because of the loss of the throne, and his depression became stagnant, and his health deteriorated. Later, the traitor Zhu Li sent a fleet and monks to the East China Sea to look for the traces of Emperor Jianwen, and several times they were almost discovered, so Emperor Jianwen was frightened, and soon after.

This is the ninth year that Emperor Jianwen has been on the island.

After the death of Emperor Jianwen, because the heir was still in infancy, the two protectors under his hand, namely the two monks with the surname of the surname, let his younger brother Zhu Youmu inherit the position of the island master, but unfortunately Zhu Youmu was taken away by a great monk soon after, and it is said that the immortal cultivator went.

The two main Zhu descendants died and disappeared, and suddenly the dragons were leaderless, and then there was no choice, so the two monks had no choice but to let Emperor Jianwen's infant baby succeed to the throne, and chose a side clan member to supervise everything.

It was supposed to be okay, but the unexpected happened again.

The two monks didn't know why, after two years, suddenly one day they said that they wanted to go out to travel, and this trip was many years, without the suppression of these two, and suddenly the entire Zhu family began to fight.

The reason is that the prestige of the clansman who was appointed to supervise the entire island was not enough to subdue the people, and when Emperor Jianwen fled in a hurry, there were not many core clansmen with him, only him and one of his younger brothers, that is, Zhu Youmu. Because of the urgency of the situation, they didn't even take away their heirs, but there were a few side clansmen who were on errands in the palace.

These collateral clansmen are all about the same status as each other, and no one obeys anyone.

When the two monks were there, everyone did not dare to disobey, and as soon as they left and did not return for a long time, these people began to move, and these side clansmen each co-opted some of Emperor Jianwen's original generals and began to fight for the right to manage the island.

In the first few years, they were still restrained, because they were afraid of the sudden return of the monk for two years, but then the two monks did not hear from him for a long time, and they both suspected that they had been killed, so they became even more unscrupulous, and simply used their troops to prepare for forcible unification by force.

Wolves began to rise on the island, rivers of blood flowed, and the war lasted for ten years.

Originally, there were eight forces, but later through continuous fighting, only three forces remained, namely the orthodoxy of Emperor Jianwen's lineage, and the remaining two side forces, they occupied a piece of territory respectively, forming a three-legged situation.

The most powerful of these three forces is one of the collateral clansmen named Zhu Shun'an, who is brave and strategic, and in the process of conquest, he took into account the problem of soldiers, and was the first to marry the local natives, which made almost all the natives on Si Hades Island fall to him, so he won the war one after another.

Moreover, he also promoted the natives as generals and reused them, so among the three forces, his side had the most soldiers, the largest territory, and the most strategists, and it was very likely to unify the entire island.

In such a situation, the other two parties had to be worried, and instinctively united together, in Zhu Dahai's words, quite a bit of the meaning of Shu and Wu in the Three Kingdoms era to resist Cao Wei.

It's just that what happened later was really unbelievable, almost overnight, the collateral clansman named Zhu Shun'an suddenly lost his sight, and then was killed by his son Zhu Jianglai.

And not long after this Zhu Jianglai came, he was killed by an indigenous general under him, this indigenous general's surname is Xiao, and he is still Zhu Jianglai's uncle in terms of relationship.

The reason is that at the beginning, Zhu Shun'an accepted an indigenous woman as a concubine in order to marry with the natives, and the general surnamed Xiao was the elder brother of the woman, and it was this relationship that Zhu Shunan appointed as his henchman.

After killing Zhu Jianglai, the indigenous surnamed Xiao purged all Zhu Shun'an's clansmen and some descendant generals, and then appointed his sister's son, his nephew, as the leader, and he himself appointed himself as the regent, commanding the whole army and taking over the power.

Such behavior immediately aroused the disgust of the other two forces, how bad is Zhu Shun'an, he is also his own clan, his own family is infighting, no matter who unifies the island, he is surnamed Zhu.

Now that they have been killed by a native, and they have seized power, this makes the other two forces not only feel uneasy, but also extremely angry, in their opinion, these natives will never be able to compare with the noble royal bloodline, even if it is only a side line.

It was a shame that the Zhu bloodline was cleansed by the natives, so the two veins put aside their prejudices against each other and began to form a coalition to prepare for the conquest of the natives surnamed Xiao.

At first, the victory was successful, but then some monks suddenly appeared in the opposing camp, and the help of these monks caused panic within the coalition army, and finally the coalition army was defeated.

The aborigines surnamed Xiao took this opportunity to send a large army to cut down the roots of these two veins, and after a fierce battle, they were finally driven to the location of the current Huling Village.

Seeing this, he couldn't help but be furious, and fought with the opposing monks, killing several people.

The two monks were going to kill the natives surnamed Na Xiao, but then several monks appeared on the other side, and after the two sides fought, they found that they could not help each other, so they made a truce.

After some discussion, the two returning monks reluctantly accepted the conditions, the other party was too powerful and irretrievable, and agreed to give up the management of the island, but the place of Huling Village belonged to the Zhu family's autonomy.

After the two monks returned, they understood the reason, and in anger, they killed all the people of the other Zhu clan, and from then on, the line of Emperor Jianwen began to fall.

After another few decades, these two monks sat down, and without the protection of these two masters, the Zhu family became more and more unbearable, but fortunately, because of the previous agreement, the indigenous surnamed Xiao did not rush to kill them all after becoming the city lord of Si Ming Island.

More than a hundred years have passed, and by the time Zhu Dahai's grandfather, that is, his grandfather's grandfather's generation, the Zhu family has completely lost the royal nobles, and there is no difference from ordinary squires.

And the descendants of those generals who were originally able to fight well have also become ordinary farmers, and there have been typhoons raging in those years, so the life of the big guys is very hard.

In this case, Zhu Dahai's great-grandfather took the risk of leading the big guy to take a boat to the major islands to trade, in exchange for some daily supplies, once on the way back, encountered a big storm, had to take refuge on a desert island.

On this desert island, there was already a group of people here before them, and after talking, they learned that this group of people came to the East China Sea by boat from Dongtu to take refuge, but on the way there was a storm, the boat was capsized, and many people were killed.

Only a few of them were lucky enough to grab a sampan and float to this deserted island.

After the storm, Zhu Dahai's great-grandfather took this group of people back to Si Ming Island, and because they were homeless, he let them land in Huling Village, and later learned that their group was surnamed Yan, and they were the descendants of the Yuan nobles of the previous dynasty.

Because the Ming army kept conquering in the grassland, he couldn't survive, so he thought of going to sea for refuge.

In this way, the surname Zhu and the surname Yan are still feuds, after all, the country of Yuan was taken away by the surname Zhu, which can be described as an enmity that does not share the sky.

However, Zhu Dahai's great-grandfather was kind, not only did he not embarrass them, but took more care of them, and treated the villagers of Huling Village equally, and the Yan family thrived here.

Zhu Dahai introduced in the letter that the Yan family is the ancestor of the current Yan Toto's father and son.
