Mixed with salted fish in Hongwudang

Chapter 662: Send me to hell on earth!

With the reinforcements brought by Zhang Jiang, Zhu Yunxi easily eliminated the people brought by Shaharul.

Not only did they quickly recapture Kangdu, but they also quickly cleaned up the defeated troops in the city.

After the war, Kangdu was full of ruins and smoky ashes.

Not only were many people affected by the disaster and died on the streets, but many officials in the Kangdu area were also hacked to death by the insurgents.

When Zhu Yunxi entered the city, the people along the road knelt down and wailed, crying about this unreasonable disaster.

Zhu Yunxi looked at the helpless eyes of the people, and his heart was touched again.

Although this disaster was mainly caused by Shaharul, as the emperor, he could not escape the blame.

First of all, they were too confident and regarded the surrendered area as a barrier without taking necessary precautions.

Secondly, he was overconfident and transferred too many troops from Kangdu, which gave Shaharul an opportunity to take advantage of.

Finally, when Kangdu was conquered, the entire process of Kangdu was not inspected, leaving such a huge safety hazard.

Otherwise, the city of Kangdu is high and deep, and even if there are only [-] regular troops plus [-] miscellaneous troops, they will still be able to defend the city.

"Kong Yanjin, check how much money is left in the treasury in the Kangdu area?"

Kong Yanjin said without thinking after hearing this.

"Reporting to your Majesty, when the rebels invaded the city, the officers and soldiers guarding the treasury immediately cut off the dragon gate, and the treasury was not damaged."

"Wei Chen calculated before the rebels entered the city that there were still 3000 million Ming silver coins in the treasury."

After Zhu Yunxi captured Samarkand, he melted all the gold and silver in the Samarkand Palace and the treasury and cast it into Ming Dynasty currency.

And the silver coins were not brought back to the Ming Dynasty, but were left in the Kangdu area for circulation.

"Send someone to count the losses of the people in the city. The dead will be buried, the living will be helped to rebuild their houses, and the injured will be helped to heal their injuries."

"Everything spent will be charged to the court's account!"

"This……"

Even Kong Yanjin, a descendant of Kong Sheng who believed in benevolence, justice, propriety, wisdom and trust all his life, was a little stunned when he suddenly heard Zhu Yunxi's words.

"Your Majesty, this is a military rebellion, and it is a disaster caused by Shaharul, the son of Timur. The people in the city are not innocent. Many of them have their old master in mind and helped the rebels open the city gate when they attacked the city, and Lead the way for the rebels to find our Ming officials to kill..."

"Therefore, there is no need for us to help them!"

Zhu Yunxi nodded after hearing this.

"Then treat them differently. Anyone who helps the thief will be beheaded. Anyone who dies or is injured because of resisting the thief will be rewarded according to military merit!"

"As for ordinary people who have suffered such an unreasonable disaster, it is better to provide some humanitarian compensation."

Seeing Zhu Yunxi say this, Kong Yanjin quickly bowed and accepted the order.

"Your Majesty Shengming!"

Now Kong Yanjin is no longer the innocent young man he once was. After receiving Zhu Yunxi's order to compensate the people, he immediately jumped out of the carriage and shouted to the crowd.

"Your Majesty cannot bear the suffering of the people, so he has specially allocated 300 million silver dollars from his palace treasury to help the poor people who have been severely affected by this disaster!"

When the common people kneeling on both sides heard this, they no longer cared to cry, and all praised His Majesty the Emperor for his wisdom.

When the officials of the department responsible for newspaper distribution heard this, they hurriedly came over and asked about the specific details, planning to make a special statement tomorrow.

This guy even thought of the title. The tyrant Timur harmed the people, and the Ming Emperor loved the people and made judgments...

When other officials of the Ming Dynasty heard this, they were all affected. They held their chests and heads high when they walked, feeling very proud.When the foreign officials in the Kangdu area heard about this, they were all moved to tears.

After so many years, they have never heard of any government taking the initiative to give money to the people...

With Zhu Yunxi spending a lot of money, Kangdu City soon became lively again.

But where he couldn't see, injustices were happening one after another.

A chubby businessman from the Ming Dynasty cried while pointing to his stable that was burned to ashes by the fire.

"Look, sir, this is the inn that the villain opened in Kangdu City!"

"Those damn thieves came in and robbed me. Not only did they steal my 3000 silver dollars, they also set fire to my inn!"

"Thanks to our Ming Emperor's benevolence and righteousness, he is willing to use his own money to help us reduce our losses. We...we are really touched. May your Majesty live a long life...not long live..."

The officials responsible for distributing disaster relief funds were all smiles upon hearing this.

"Otherwise, we Ming people must be sensible, unlike those idiots who just kneel on the ground and thank the pearls."

"This is obviously an act of benevolence and righteousness by our Emperor Ming, but it has become the credit of Pearl. What a bunch of white-eyed wolves!"

"My lord, if you take them with you, you are just a bunch of white-eyed wolves!"

"If our Ming Dynasty money was given to them, it would be like wasting money in vain!"

"How many acres does your inn cover? How many rooms does it have in total?"

"Sir, I am running a small business. The inn covers a total area of ​​five acres and has fourteen rooms..."

The official nodded upon hearing this.

"Oh, I understand. It covers an area of ​​fifty acres and has forty houses. According to the compensation standard set by the imperial court, each room is ten silver dollars, which is a total of four hundred silver dollars..."

"what?"

The official snorted coldly when he saw the surprised look on the merchant's face.

"Hey, do you have any objections?"

Upon hearing this, the merchant quickly nodded and bowed with a smile.

"Don't dare, don't dare, it's too late for the villain to be happy, how dare you have any objections!"

"I have a piece of agarwood here. I don't dare to use such a precious thing, so I give it to the adults as a filial piety. Let the adults help me taste it, hehehe..."

The official glanced at the merchant with disgust, snorted coldly and put the agarwood into his sleeve.

"We're not greedy for this benefit from you, we just don't want to waste our wasted money on dogs!"

"You know, this villain... Since adults are righteous, we Ming people must face our own people!"

The official nodded with satisfaction.

"Row!"

"You boy are on the road, you are a sensible person!"

After the officials registered the merchants, they happened to meet an alien father and son when they went to the next house.

"Sir, the villain's inn was also set on fire by thieves..."

"What inn?"

"Now it's all burned to the ground. Who knows what it was originally used for?"

"Sir, the neighbors can testify that the villain's inn has hosted official servants before!"

"Official errand?"

"Which official, tell me his name and call him over to confront you. If he dares to issue you a document, I will book an inn for you."

"This……"

Said and his son were immediately dumbfounded when they heard this. They rarely received official officials, and occasionally they did so with arrogant attitudes. Not to mention asking for names, they didn't even dare to say a word politely.

Just when Said and his son thought that the compensation matter was over, the official's next words gave them hope again.

"In my opinion, you can only book a stable here."

"The compensation standard for the stable is ten silver dollars per acre. How many acres are you here?"

"Back to my lord, the villain's inn... no, no, no, the stable covers an area of ​​37 acres."

"What 37?"

"Take off the small change and give it to you as thirty acres!"

"Thirty acres?"

Old Said was slightly disappointed when he heard this, but when he thought that the Ming court could provide compensation, it was already a miracle. Who dared to think too little?

Seeing that he was silent, the official thought that the other party was too young, and immediately said with disgust on his face.

"You barbarians just don't know how to be grateful!" "This is all saved from His Majesty the Ming Emperor's own money, and you still think it's too little?"

Old Said quickly explained after hearing this.

"Not too little!"

"My lord, I have misunderstood. How dare you, a little man, think too little? Looking at the whole territory of Persia, for hundreds of years, who has ever heard of the government giving money to the people?"

"Our Ming Dynasty is too benevolent and righteous, and our Ming Emperor is too benevolent and righteous. This villain's whole family relies on Da Ming and is willing to smash his bones into slag for Da Ming!"

When the officials heard this, their anger turned into joy.

"Yes, he is a sensible person, so I won't wipe out the zero for you, and I will give you forty acres."

Upon hearing this, old Said quickly took his son and kowtowed to the officials.

"I would like to thank you, sir. Your kindness to my family is deeper than the sea, higher than the sky, and..."

The official asked with a smile upon hearing this.

"How is it better than your master?"

"This……"

Old Said was speechless after hearing this and did not dare to answer the official's questions.Unexpectedly, when the official saw this, he became cold-faced and cursed at the old Said.

"We just said you were sensible and conscientious, but now you look like a white-eyed wolf!"

"Forget what we just said, I'll still give you thirty acres!"

Old Said was silent when he heard the words, but little Said understood the implication of the official's words.

It seems that Ming officials are very disgusted with pearls!

Little Said did not have a strong belief in religion. In addition, he was exposed to the new knowledge and new ideas passed down by the Ming Dynasty. He had long considered himself a person who could see the world with open eyes.

"Sir, how can pearls compare with you? Your kindness to us is much greater than pearls!"

"In our hearts, His Majesty the Emperor is God, the God who leads us to live a good life!"

"And you are the messenger who serves the gods, the angel who spreads blessings on behalf of the gods..."

Little Said's words made the officials smile.

"Yes, yes, children can be taught!"

"You and your son should learn from each other, these are smart children!"

"Just for the sake of your son, let's give your family [-] acres..."

After the Ming officials left, old Said looked at his proud son and scolded him.

"How dare you be so disrespectful to Pearl?"

Little Said sneered when he heard this.

"What about Pearl? Did Pearl take care of us when our family was hungry?"

"The good days we have now are all brought by Ming Dynasty, and Ming Dynasty is our true god!"

"You...you bastard!"

Although the relief officials of the Ming Dynasty did so in a very secretive manner, word of the incident still spread, and officials from Kangdu brought it to Zhu Yunxi, who sued the disaster relief officials for ignoring national laws, violating the law of freedom of belief, and forcing the people to slander the true God.

Zhu Yunxi looked at the memorial handed over by his subordinates, and looked at Kong Yanjin who was pretending to be busy.

He didn't even need to ask about this, it must have been done by this bastard Kong Yanjin.

"Kong Yanjin, your ancestors said that there is no distinction between education and distinction, but you haven't learned anything at all!"

Kong Yanjin smiled awkwardly when he heard this.

"Our ancestors also said that if the Chinese invade the barbarians, the barbarians will conquer them; if the barbarians invade the Chinese, they will conquer the Chinese."

"These barbarians can't eat fine chaff, so it's better to be rough."

Zhu Yunxi smiled bitterly when he heard the words.

"Okay, just watch and do it."

"But remember, don't cause a civil unrest."

"Now that we have just settled in the Western Region, whether we can let them completely return to the Ming Dynasty and regard themselves as Ming Dynasty people depends on how we govern."

Kong Yanjin respectfully agreed upon hearing this.

"promise!"

"My minister will always remember His Majesty's instruction."

"By the way, Your Majesty, officials from the DPRK and China are discussing how to deal with Shaharul. What is your Majesty's opinion on this matter?"

For other people, Zhu Yunxi could just say a few words and dismiss it, but Kong Yanjin was trained by him as his future first assistant, so he had to say a few more words.

"What do you think about this?"

"In my opinion, our Ming Dynasty must use the power of thunder to completely wipe out the Khorasan region."

"For Shaharul, quartering his body into pieces cannot atone for his sin..."

Zhu Yunxi glared at Kong Yanjin when he heard this.

"What's wrong with you? You've only been in the imperial court for a few years, and you're just like those gang of murderers, shouting and killing every day!"

"Shaharu's matter is not that simple. Timur sent him to Kangdu with no hope that he would come back alive. He wanted to use our hands to kill Shaharul and clear the way for his grandson Ma Heima to ascend the throne. The biggest obstacle after all!”

"what?"

Kong Yanjin was speechless when he heard these words. He had been thinking about how to take revenge, and never thought that there was such a secret.

"Your Majesty, you mean that Timur wants to immediately make Heima the emperor?"

Zhu Yunxi nodded when he heard the words.

"The Timurid Empire is very similar to the Ming Dynasty. Both the founding emperors often lost their sons, and it was difficult to choose a successor."

"Fortunately, our Ming Dynasty has a great saint-grandson like me, but Timur is not as lucky as Grandpa Huang. His grandson Ma Heima only takes the name of the eldest son and eldest grandson, but his ability... tsk tsk, it's true. Not good."

"If Tamerlane establishes him, then there will definitely be a battle between Shaharul and him in the future."

"At that time, we will be able to cause chaos within Timur's empire without spending a single soldier."

Kong Yanjin nodded frequently when he heard the words.

"What your Majesty said is true, but I'm afraid we can't wait that long, right?"

"Now there are frequent triumphs on the front line, and Baghdad is surrounded. The victorious general is preparing to take it down in one fell swoop. If we wait for them to have civil strife, doesn't it mean we have to withdraw our troops?"

Zhu Yunxi shook his head when he heard the words.

"Of course you can't retreat!"

"Strategy is strategy, and the specific situation will of course depend on which step you take."

"The current situation is that even if I want to wait, our generals and soldiers don't want to wait anymore."

Kong Yanjin looked at Zhu Yunxi with confusion when he heard this.

"Your Majesty, do you think you support the crusade against Shaharul?"

Zhu Yunxi nodded when he heard the words.

"Let's fight!"

"Now we have 20 troops in our hands. If we don't deal with this guy, the entire Western world will laugh at us."

Kong Yanjin said happily after hearing this.

"promise!"

"Wei Chen will raise food and fodder to prepare for the departure of the army!"

Zhu Yunxi looked at Kong Yanjin's leaving figure and smiled helplessly. This guy was completely led astray by Lan Yu and the gang of soldiers. How could there be any trace of a civil servant in him?

"Come here, send an urgent telegram to General Chang Sheng and tell him to beat me hard and send me to hell on earth for the entire West to see!"
