Back to the Ming Dynasty to be a tyrant

After thinking about it, Zhu Yujian was still a little worried, and asked Zhang Jianying, "Is everything ready?"

Zhang Jianying bowed and said, "Your Majesty, don't worry, we only need to wait for the angel who announces the decree to arrive. When the decree is announced, the heads of those barbarians will fall to the ground!"

Nodding his head, Zhu Yujian said: "There must be no problems. Once a few barbarians are lost, it will be a disaster for the people of our Ming Dynasty."

Zhang Jianying cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, don't worry, besides the manpower during the ceremony, Li Hongji and Li Guo will also lead a large team to ambush outside, and they will definitely not let the barbarians get away."

Zhu Zhuohong said with a smile: "Uncle Wang just thinks too much, but he is just some savages. Even if one or two escaped, there will be no trouble."

After glaring at Zhu Zhuohong, Zhu Yujian said: "It's not that this king is ignorant of this matter, but after all, it's more reassuring to kill them all, isn't it?"

Zhu Cunji said: "Do your best and obey the destiny. Who dares to say that you are absolutely sure about this matter? Uncle Wang is too worried."

Zhu Changying also smiled and said, "That's right, Uncle Wang is thinking too much. As long as most of those barbarians are killed, the rest will die outside slowly, and they won't make a difference."

Zhu Yujian also knew that what these people said was not wrong, but he said in his heart that he was not worried, after all, it was false.

After thinking about it, Zhu Yujian finally suppressed the messy thoughts in his heart, and said instead: "When these barbarians are all strangled, will the land be divided into one share? Or wait until later?"

As the leader of the four vassal kings, Zhu Changhao immediately asked, "What does Uncle Wang mean?"

Zhu Yujian said: "According to my king, it is natural that we are still together, and we can be regarded as taking care of each other. Besides, we are used to the current life, so we are suddenly separated, and we feel a little uncomfortable.

It's just my king's worry. I think you all know that it's really hard to say whether His Majesty will allow us to continue mixing together. "

Zhu Zhuohong said: "I don't want to separate either, it's better to be with Uncle Wang, so as to save me from headaches every day. As for closing the country, just leave it to the prime minister and the others to take care of it."

Zhu Yujian nodded, then looked at Zhu Changhao and the others: "What do you think?"

After Zhu Changhao, Zhu Changying and the others looked at each other, they said, "The meaning of waiting is actually the same as Brother Qing's. It's better to be together."

If anyone is the least willing to live alone now, it must be Zhu Changhao and others.

Just talking about this charcoal mine, such a large piece of land looks quite big, but it seems that it is not enough to assign it to any vassal king. If it is true that the families are separated, who will this land be given to?

Emperor Chongzhen said at the beginning that whoever snatches the land belongs to whom, but the problem is that this land, and even the whole Xinming Island, were discovered by Zhu Yujian and those three guys first, and it was his turn to wait. people.

To put it bluntly, if my later ones live separately, they will definitely not get any benefits, and after the separation, Zhu Yujian, Zhu Zhuohong, and Zhu Cunji, who were floating together at sea at the beginning, will definitely stick together.

As for the four of you who joined together later, can you beat the three of them in all aspects?Even the status in the heart of Emperor Chongzhen is far inferior.

Under such circumstances, who would be so stupid as to think of splitting up and working alone?

Zhu Yujian nodded, and said, "Since this is the case, then I will write the letter alone, and you don't want to mix it up, otherwise, it may backfire."

Zhu Zhuohong also nodded and said: "This matter is according to Uncle Wang's opinion. Uncle Wang is enough no matter his seniority or prestige. Presumably His Majesty should also consider Uncle Wang's opinion carefully."

Zhu Yujian smiled wryly - since when did Emperor Chongzhen listen to other people's opinions?

Chapter 449 Defraud people, defraud seven feudal lords

The winter in Xinming Island is actually not much different from the winter in Daming. When it should be windy, it will be windy, and when it should snow, it will also snow. It's windy.

On the contrary, in the winter of Xinming Island, once the cold wind blows, it can kill people. It is a feeling that people are frozen to the bone, and they are frozen from the bone marrow. This is a bit different from the winter in Daming .

After a cold winter in Xinming Island, it is almost the end of winter, but the weather can still freeze dogs to death.

Switching to the native land of Ming Dynasty, at this time, the end of summer should have just passed, and the autumn tiger will soon start to show its power.

Ma Shi, whose beard had all fallen off his face, slapped the snowflakes on his body, and said with a smile, "Thanks to Admiral Zheng's reminder, otherwise my old horse would have been frozen to death right now."

Ma Shi was different from ordinary eunuchs, the scar on his forehead made him look a bit ferocious, and his tone of voice was not like ordinary eunuchs' femininity, but more like a battle-tested warrior.

Not to mention the Ming Dynasty, the image of Ma Shi, in any dynasty, could not be a qualified eunuch—the eunuch who served the emperor could still be sent out to announce the decree, one counts as one, and his appearance is different. Must be passable.

It's not good to be ugly and scary, it's not good to be tall like Tokugawa Tadacho, and it's not good to have a bad voice.

In short, choosing a good eunuch is not as difficult as the beauty pageant in later generations, and this eunuch does not mean that you can become a eunuch if you want to - it depends on whether your own qualifications are enough.

If you have no connections or background, and you want to enter the palace after going down to practice the Sunflower Book, it’s not impossible, but if you go in, you can only be a servant eunuch honestly, if you want to get ahead? possible.

But Ma Shi is different. This guy was originally a guard of the pass. Although his son and grandson were chopped down with a knife and he became a father-in-law completely, he couldn't resist this guy's background.

Moreover, his background is relatively large - the eunuch who was appointed by Emperor Chongzhen of the current dynasty as the supervisor of ceremonies, worshiped under Wei Zhongxian to learn to walk, and in the future he will take over from Wei Zhongxian's class and be the admiral of Xichang.

And Wei Zhongxian was even more delighted—a caring eunuch like himself, who was originally famous and powerful, was lucky not to be dealt with secretly.

Now Emperor Chongzhen threw Ma Shi under his feet, making it clear that he wanted to cultivate Ma Shi to succeed him, and he could die well.

Although it was said that they disappeared from the political center of Daming quietly, but their lives were saved.

Eunuchs, after all, hurt their lives. It is rare to live to be 65 years old. You can't think too much, especially with an emperor like Emperor Chongzhen. If you think too much, you will die.

So Lao Wei thinks very openly, not only the Xichang stall, but also all the rest of his own way and contacts are slowly handed over to Ma Shi, and he is slowly getting out of the Ming Dynasty's political court. The top disappears.

Disappeared without a sound, without attracting anyone's attention, but this is the safest way.

If you can't live with five tripods, you should also cook with five tripods. That's what scholars brag about. It's useless for us old Wei to not talk about it. It's better to live well than anything else.

Just like the decree this time, Wei Zhongxian directly threw the matter to Ma Shi, and told Ma Shi clearly that when he returned to Beijing, he would completely hand over the West Factory to him.

Ma Shi is also a sensible person. He has been with Wei Zhongxian for a long time, and his ability in handling affairs and observing words and demeanor can be regarded as a bit of Wei Zhongxian's true biography. Therefore, as soon as the boat landed on the shore of Xinming Island, Ma Shi asked Zheng Zhilong first. Thank you.

Zheng Zhilong also laughed and said: "Eunuch Ma is really too polite. My old Zheng has learned a lot of battle tactics from Eunuch Ma recently. I would like to thank Eunuch Ma for reminding me."

Ma Shi laughed and said: "What's the matter, my old horse also led soldiers in the past. What's more, all the commanders of the guards in Ming Dynasty must learn these things, and they are nothing."

After flipping through the humble rhetoric, Ma Shi smiled strangely again: "If it's really about leading troops to fight, Admiral Zheng may not be able to compare with Young Master Ling. Now this kid, tsk tsk."

Seeing that Ma Shi deliberately whetted his appetite, Zheng Zhilong was also happy to cooperate, clasped his hands and begged: "Please let me know."

Ma Shi said with a smile: "I forgot that you don't know about it yet, and the decree probably won't come down until the next year.

His Majesty personally bestowed the surname Zhu on this kid, and also named him Chenggong.This kind of honor, only Zheng He and Eunuch Zheng have had this honor in the 300 years since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, and Eunuch Zheng has not been granted a national surname. "

Surprised and delighted, Zheng Zhilong hurriedly cupped his hands towards the north and said, "May I die to repay Your Majesty's kindness!"

There is a lot of history about giving surnames, and the Ming Dynasty did not have it.

One is Ryukyu, which was still the king of Zhongshan at that time. After destroying Beishan and Nanshan, it was officially named Ryukyu, and was given the surname Shang by Zhu Yuanzhang, Emperor Taizu Gao.

The other is the eunuch Zheng He, Eunuch Zheng. Because Ma He, who was with Zhu Laosi at that time, started his army from the King of Yan to Jingnan, went in and out of the battle, and performed outstandingly in the battle of Zhengcunba in the capital. "surname.

As for the adoptive sons of Emperor Taizu Gao, they were all given back to the clan and changed back to their original surnames.

The rest happened only in the Wuzong Dynasty, but it could only be regarded as the Wuzong Emperor's nonsense. It was the first time since Wuzong to the Chongzhen Emperor that the country's surname was bestowed.

And the most important thing is that Emperor Chongzhen bestowed Zheng Fusong with the surname of the country, and even the name, and the two very meaningful words, success, made it clear that Zheng Fusong was raised as a godson. Zheng Zhilong How can you not like it?
