Daming: From the end of Hongwu

While Fifth Sister and Zhu Yuying teased their youngest son to Zhang Yuqing's courtyard, the mother and the others started chatting again and again.

When going to bed at night, Zhu Yuying thought about Fifth Sister, and asked Zhen Wu: "What are you going to do about Fifth Sister? How about I go to Gao Xu and talk to him, this kid is too shameful, he just made things difficult for Five Sisters." My younger sister, I don’t even pay attention to my eldest sister.”

Ok?

Zhen Wu glanced at Zhu Yuying suspiciously, he smiled and said, "What's wrong, are you still afraid that he doesn't take me seriously now and make me feel ashamed?"

Zhu Yuying saw what Zhen Wu was thinking, and said a little embarrassingly: "You don't know this year, even Gao Chi has been embarrassed several times. At the beginning of this year, the two brothers went to pay a visit to Xiaoling. The weight, legs and feet are not good, and he accidentally fell, Gao Xu didn't say that he stepped forward to help him up, but he still sneered at Gao Chi from behind, saying that "the former will be stunned, and the later will be aware of the warning."

Zhen Wu frowned and said, "How do you know about this?"

While removing the ornaments on her head, Zhu Yuying turned her head to Zhen Wu and said, "At that time, many people were present, and naturally rumors spread. You said that the two brothers were in harmony when they were young. How long did it take for the father to succeed to the throne? This appearance is really a joke for people to see our family, by the way, there is something more interesting, that kid Zhanji was also behind, guess what Zhanji said at that time?"

"What?" Zhen Wu became interested.

Zhu Yuying imitated Zhu Zhanji's tone and said: "Second uncle, if you don't know me well, you will know the police! Listen to this, is this a child saying it? I'm afraid that he will ruin Sanyue one day. "

Zhen Wu's face became slightly serious, and he was no longer as relaxed as before, what is this?This family doesn't have a fuel-efficient lamp, and then he thought for a while and said, "Don't mention these things again, and tighten your tongue at home, it won't be a good thing for us to spread the word."

"I know, the order has been issued a long time ago, but..." Zhu Yuying didn't say the rest, and sighed worriedly.

Zhen Wudao: "Don't worry, don't worry, I'm the one to do these things, I'll talk to Gao Xu later, but he may not be able to listen to it now, there is also the matter of Fifth Sister, he understands Knowing that I will definitely take care of this when I come back, he still wants to stop Wang Tong from attacking the prince, why do you think he did this?"

Zhu Yuying looked a little surprised and said: "He won't want you to beg him, so he can take this opportunity to blackmail you."

"Where are you thinking?"

Zhen Wu smiled lightly and said: "Your husband is not something that your second brother can blackmail casually, I think he just wants to show me his ability, or..." Speaking of this, Zhen Wu was upset He snorted softly and said: "Perhaps he still has some bad intentions for Fifth Sister and wants to test my attitude, but speaking of it, he is much smarter now, but unfortunately, he is still a little smart. "

"Then what shall we do?"

"Don't worry." Zhen Wu said: "He is probably waiting for me to go to find him now. I don't like him, so I will let it hang for now. Anyway, Wang Tong's title will be attacked sooner or later, so let him stop it." It won't affect anything, and it's not that I'm out of food, I'll wait until a good time to talk to him, and see what else he wants to do."

Zhu Yuying nodded and said nothing.

……

At the same time, in Changle, Fuzhou, Fujian, the home of Zhen Yong, the governor of Fujian Province.

Zhen Yong and Shi Nuan were teasing their newborn son, Zhen Yong kept yelling 'Serena Serena', which made Shi Nuan burst out laughing.

Zhen Yong raised his eyebrows and said, "What's the matter? You don't think the name sounds good? I think it's pretty good. The elder brother said the names of the first four children in our family, and they are called Pobei Dingnan. Show off your power and merit. This can't be changed."

"No."

Shi Nuan shook his head and smiled, "I don't think it's unpleasant, but I just thought that my elder brother finally chose four names, and thought it would last for a few years, but I didn't expect to use three in a blink of an eye, and the last letter from my mother didn't say Jin'er Is the girl pregnant too? If this is a boy, the four names will be used up, and the elder brother will have a headache for choosing a name, and Xiao Qi is not married yet. Think about how many children are waiting for the elder brother to choose the name Woolen cloth."

Zhen Yong couldn't help laughing when he thought of Zhen Wu's worry about getting a name.

After laughing, Zhen Yong looked at Shi Nuan and said, "Take good care of your body these days. After you get well, we will have two more. I know who the eldest brother is. If you force him, there will always be no shortage of names."

Shi Nuan was ashamed and said angrily, "You're talking nonsense if the lights are not turned off."

Zhen Yong grinned and laughed again. Even though he was going to turn off the lights to rest, at this moment, there was a sudden barking of a dog outside. The barking was loud and frantic, as if it was a ferocious beast desperate to cull its prey. Usually, as soon as you put it in your ears, you can hear that there is definitely a change in the front yard.

Zhen Yong frowned.

Soon, a servant came to report that someone was visiting.

Zhen Yong patted Shi Nuan on the shoulder and comforted him: "Don't worry, nothing major will happen. I'll go out and have a look. If you're tired, go to bed and rest." After finishing speaking, Zhen Yong walked outside.

After arriving outside, the servants came up to greet him, and said in Zhen Yong's ear: "Third Master, the person who came here seems to be Jin Yiwei, let me take a look at the waist card, according to him, it was a hundred households under the command of the uncle, and this time he came to visit at night. , I have something important to ask the third master."

"What's the matter?" Zhen Yong asked with a frown.

The servant shook his head and said, "No, but there are bloodstains on his body, which is why the dog barked."

"Oh, something happened in the middle of the night."

A cold light flashed in Zhen Yong's eyes, and then asked someone to fetch his knife, "Where is the man now?"

"I didn't dare to put it in the house, so I put it in the concierge. Ah Jian and the others are watching over there." The servant said.

At this time Zhen Yong's waist knife was also brought over, and Zhen Yong held it in his hand, and said with certainty in his eyes: "Go, go and have a look." After finishing speaking, he strode outside.

A thunderclap flashed across the sky suddenly at this moment, perhaps it was going to rain at night.

But Zhen Yong didn't care.

Because this goddamn land is full of wind and rain.

……

Chapter 367 - We have acquaintances in Daming!

The rumbling dark thunder made people feel very depressing, and the wind and waves from the sea seemed to be whistling past this place again.

Changle is a good place.

But it's not a safe place either.

The population here is relatively complex, and it is in a state of multi-ethnic coexistence. It is often a collective of one village and one town, and these collectives basically do not obey each other, and there are often some fights and noises.

And because Changle is located on the southeast coast, on the south bank of the Minjiang Estuary, there are more than 30 large and small islands in the territory. The most annoying thing about persimmon bullying is that they often run away when they are squeezed, making it hard to catch and annoying.

There are struggles inside and enemies outside.

That's basically what the place has been like over the years.

Also because of these circumstances, the folk customs in this place are a bit tough.

Of course, this is also related to the fact that the people here often go hunting in the sea. After all, a coward can't become a sailor who rides the wind and waves.

When Zhen Yong first came here, he was often troubled by these situations. He wrote to Zhen Wu many times to ask for advice. some comments.

In the end, Zhen Yong split up, established the prestige of the imperial court, and then painted cakes to seek unity. In addition, the local chief secretary has been doing mediation work, so that the situation here has been greatly improved, and it is almost unanimous to the outside world.

It's just that these things are easy to say, but it really took a lot of effort for Zhen Yong to operate them. Just talking about establishing the prestige of the court caused Zhen Yong a lot of trouble.

Because the waterways here are criss-crossed and completely different from the north, Zhen Yong was unable to use his strength many times, and finally asked Zhen Wu to borrow several water warriors from Chen Xuan, which allowed him to completely control this place.

Now he can be said to be famous in Changle, and he has a high prestige in the hearts of the people.

And Zhen Yong also deployed all shipbuilding resources according to what Zhen Wu said, and successfully supervised the construction of a shipyard, and now there are more than a hundred ships built.

In fact, he generally knew that Zhu Di was going to organize a fleet to sail to the west, and it was not difficult to guess that Changle would be the starting point of the large fleet.

Therefore, Zhen Yong is clear about the future development prospects of Changle.

In Zhen Wu's words, this place is bound to become a place where merchants gather, and it will not even take a few years. Because of the gathering of merchants and the development of shipping, other industries will inevitably blossom, and the final Changle will surely show a prosperous scene.

Zhen Yong has been looking forward to this scene.

He has been stationed in Changle for a long time, so he can't help feeling a little bit about it. Naturally, he hopes that this place will become better and better, and the people here will become richer and richer, so he will never allow anyone to destroy the harmony and stability of this place.

At night, the sea breeze swayed the high-hanging lanterns from side to side, making the light from the lanterns erratic.

The sound of pattering footsteps resounded in the courtyard and spread far, far away.

It seemed a bit grim.

When Zhen Yong came to the concierge, he simply nodded his head as he was greeted by A Jian and his group of guards, and then strode over the guards and walked towards the concierge.

The gatehouse was a bit dark, but under the flickering lights, the situation inside could still be seen clearly. Four or five people intertwined and were speechless, but these people all had anxious faces and blood stains on their bodies.

When the first person saw Zhen Yong coming in, he immediately led his people to kneel down on one knee to pay homage.

"I met Ning Anbo."

Zhen Yong sniffed the bloody smell on their clothes, his eyes narrowed slightly, he didn't speak, just looked at that person quietly.

Jin Yiwei came to this land, and Jin Yiwei obviously had a life-and-death struggle.

what's the situation.

Zhen Yong naturally began to think in his mind.

Seeing that Zhen Yong didn't speak, the leader of Jinyiwei said anxiously: "The lowly Jinyiwei Qianhu Meiji, formerly a hundred households under the Marquis of Jinxiang, once met Uncle at Jinxianghou's house, I wonder if Uncle still remembers the humble position?"

acquaintance?

Zhen Yong carefully looked at the appearance of that person, and had some vague impressions, as if he had seen it before, but he really couldn't remember the specifics.

Seeing this, Mei Ji became even more anxious. He reminded: "Back then when my uncle's sister was pregnant, General Wang had a banquet at home for his colleagues in the army. I was lucky enough to go to the banquet. I am not familiar with you, so I toasted my uncle three glasses of wine, by the way, I was the youngest person present at that time, and I was ridiculed by my colleagues, uncle, please think about it carefully."

With Mei Ji's reminder, Zhen Yong suddenly realized.

"I remembered, there is such a thing." As he spoke, Zhen Yong's grip on the knife was slightly loosened. He looked at the blood on Mei Ji's body and frowned, "What's going on with you? How did you join Jinyiwei?"

"How to enter Jinyiwei is a long story. Time is pressing now. Let me explain in detail to my uncle after I have a job. I have something important to ask my uncle right now." Mei Ji said anxiously without hiding her face, while looking at To Zhen Yong's guard.

Seeing this, Zhen Yong's expression became serious, and he waved at the guards, telling them to retreat for the time being.

Ah Jian and the others are worried about Zhen Yong.

Zhen Yong said in a deep voice: "Don't worry, anyone who dares to use the names of my brother and Jin Xianghou to come to me will definitely not harm me."

After hearing this, the guards withdrew.

In fact, Zhen Yong is not arrogant, he just knows that since Mei Ji can become Wang Tong's guest, then he must be someone Wang Tong can trust, and Wang Tong is his brother-in-law, he will naturally trust him a little bit, not to mention Zhen Yong is not Even if Mei Ji wanted to harm him, he still had to weigh it. Besides, Zhen Yong just asked the guards to leave the gatehouse.

Afterwards, Zhen Yong turned his head to look at Mei Ji and said, "If you have any questions, please speak up."

Mei Ji nodded and said: "The humble official wants to borrow my uncle's troops."

"Borrowing soldiers and horses?" Zhen Yong frowned deeply, and then said in a deep voice, "What are you going to do?"

"Save people." Mei Ji said.

"Save who?"

"Chen Tianping!"

"Who is Chen Tianping?"

Mei Ji took a deep breath, and then said in a low tone: "Uncle, please take a step to talk."

Said, Mei Ji signaled Zhen Yong to walk aside, and then Mei Ji whispered in Zhen Yong's ear: "Chen Tianping, the royal family of Annan!"

Zhen Yong was shocked immediately.

Although he came to Fujian, he paid much attention to the major events that happened in the court. Last year, Annan's envoys met with him and said that Chen's descendants were extinct, and that a nephew surnamed Hu was granted the throne by Zhu Di as his nephew.

If a descendant of the Chen family suddenly appears now, then Annan has committed the crime of deceiving the emperor!

Zhen Yong is still thinking in amazement, Mei Ji has already explained the ins and outs of the matter at this moment: "Humble job is currently working in Yunnan, but two months ago, the Laotian consolation envoy suddenly reported to the Chief Envoy of Yunnan, saying He got help from Chen Tianping, a son of the Chen family in Annan. Chen Tianping begged us to send people to escort him, and went to Nanjing to sue Annan Li Jiyao and his son for plotting to usurp the country. Thinking that they were chased by the troops sent by Annan when they were escorting them. After losing a lot of people, they had no choice but to flee to the east. Finally, they sailed to Fujian by luck. Come here, after a fight tonight, Chen Tianping and I have been accidentally separated, and now Chen Tianping's life or death is uncertain."

Speaking of this, Mei Ji said anxiously: "This matter is very important, it is about my face, and I hope uncle will help me a little bit. Now in Changle, only uncle has the ability to find Chen Tianping in the shortest time, and I hope you can find Chen Tianping in the shortest time. Uncle hurry up, because if time drags on for a long time, I'm afraid that something will happen to Chen Tianping, after all, he only has one or two loyal veterans and seven or eight people under his command at the moment, so he won't be of much use."

Zhen Yong's eyes flashed from time to time.

There is too much information in Mei Ji's words, Zhen Yong needs to think through it quickly, and then make a charter.

Among the countries on the Nanyang Peninsula, many countries have set up consolation envoys of the Ming Dynasty, and the consolation envoys are served by the kings of these countries. This is the same as the policy of the Ming Dynasty towards Mobei and Liaodong. In name, they obey the orders of the Ming Dynasty , In fact, in the final analysis, they are all independent small forces, belonging to the vassal state of Ming Dynasty.

Speaking of this, I have to talk about an old problem of the Chinese people. In fact, places like Myanmar and Laos were brought into the territory of the Yuan Dynasty, but the people of the Yuan Dynasty did not know how to manage them. It is almost considered a colony, and when Zhu Yuanzhang established the Ming Dynasty, the slogan shouted "expel the Tartars and restore China", but when he saw the huge legacy left by the Yuan Dynasty, he still recognized the status of the Yuan Dynasty and declared to the outside world that he inherited the legal system of the Yuan Dynasty , Openly intervening in the affairs of the Nanyang Peninsula.

This is the same as the unequal treaties signed by the Qing Dynasty. We don’t want to admit it. We try to get rid of the relationship and push it to the Qing Dynasty. But when facing the territory laid down by the Qing Dynasty, I’m sorry, this place should be all our.

In a word, if you don’t want to recognize it, you can go to the Qing Dynasty to settle accounts. If you want to recognize it, then the Qing Dynasty is also our ancestor.

The truth and honesty are vividly interpreted.

And a little dazed.

As long as we have owned it, no matter how many years we have owned it, it is our thing in our hearts, and then we are always thinking about getting it back, or we always feel sorry for our ancestors.

Saving things is rooted in the hearts of every Chinese.

Back to the topic.

Daming has always paid more attention to the management of the relations among the countries in the South Seas. Now that this situation has happened, it is absolutely impossible for the Ming Dynasty to sit idly by, unless it wants to give up its authority among the countries in the South Seas. Let alone Zhu Di can't accept this, every military People on the other side can't accept it.

After figuring this out.

Zhen Yong immediately made a decision.

He asked, "Is there a decree?"

"Yes." After Mei Ji finished speaking, she quickly took out the order from him and handed it to Zhen Yong.

After Zhen Yong finished reading, he nodded at Mei Ji and said without any hesitation: "Don't worry, within a day's work, as long as Chen Tianping is in Changle, I will definitely find it for you."

After finishing speaking, Zhen Yong strode towards the outside, just as he walked outside, Zhen Yong's voice came out firmly in the howling wind.

"Zhen Wen, take my order and send it to every thousand households, and let them all gather for me to stand by. Zhen Jian, send someone to convey the order to each village and town, and let all of them strictly check whether there are any foreigners in their villages. , and report to me as soon as you find something.”
