I am the king of the dead

Chapter 348 I Want to Live and Die Together with Nanya
Zhu Qiyu looked at Xu Chengzong, it was right.

Xu Chengzong is obviously not the kind of person who doesn’t understand the rules. If he deceives the emperor during the performance, it is a serious crime of treason. If the emperor asks him personally, you still have to lie. It’s not that the emperor toasted you and you didn’t drink it. Did you turn the table with the emperor’s food? ?
If this was found out by Jin Yiwei, it would be a much harsher punishment than the punishment of both sides.

What was supposed to be beheading would turn into family punishment.

Xu Chengzong was a big mansion of the Duke of Wei, with hundreds of family members and countless rebels in Nanjing City. It only needs to be carefully checked to see if Xu Chengzong is lying, just like a ghost in the sun, there is no way to hide.

Zhu Qiyu looked at Xu Chengzong with some amusement, this performance was correct, Xu Chengzong can be said to have handed over all his family's wealth and lives.

As long as the emperor wants to investigate him, he only needs to find a few family members to frame him, and the crime of deceiving the emperor will fall on Xu Chengzong's head.

Zhu Qiyu asked calmly: "There are thousands of merchant ships on the sea, do they belong to your family?"

Xu Chengzong tremblingly said: "It belongs to the minister's family, please Your Majesty let the minister express his feelings."

"Law of the Daming Household Law [-]: When a ship of an ocean-going merchant arrives at the shore, it shall report the cargo to the official for points. If the merchant's house along the port does not report, the stick will be [-]. Although the report is not exhaustive. The same is true, the goods are merged into the official."

"Law of the Great Ming Dynasty Military Law Three: Wherever the coast goes, ships that go to sea, unless they are cited by a numbered ticket, are allowed to go overseas. Those who go to the sea to buy and sell in the country, submerge pirates, form accomplices, serve as village leaders, and plunder good people, the principal offenders are similar to those who conspire to treason and have already enforced the law, beheaded, and still show their heads to the public.

"The minister's family has never built a large ship with two masts or more that violated the regulations, nor has it failed to report, concealed the report, or did not report to the officials to draw points."

Of course Zhu Qiyu knew the rules of the Daming law.

There is no explicit provision in the laws of the Ming Dynasty that one cannot do business at sea, but one cannot build a two-masted ship, otherwise one will be punished as sneaking pirates.

In fact, Emperor Taizu Gao's sea ban policy was entirely based on the consideration of coastal defense, rather than a complete ban on private merchant ships, otherwise there would not be so many merchant ships on the sea.

As for the rumor that "inch boards were not allowed to go to the sea in the early days of the country", it was written in the history of the Ming Dynasty compiled by the Qing Dynasty. Inch boards are not allowed to go into the sea.”

The court of the Qing Dynasty strictly enforced the maritime trade policy that "in the early Ming Dynasty, no one-inch boards were allowed to enter the sea".

In the law of the Ming Dynasty, merchant ships below three masts are all in a state of letting go.

Since Zhu Qiyu wanted to open the sea, he naturally studied the laws of the Ming Dynasty, but what Xu Chengzong said was true.

Xu Chengzong buried his head and continued: "I have never gone to Japan to sell silver, but I have gone to Borneo to mine gold."

"The minister deserves death."

The Confucian government in Shandong saw the big case of Japanese silver in the stone, and it has been known all over the world that communicating with Japanese is a felony among felonies.

The meaning of Xu Chengzong's words is that he has never participated in the Japanese pirates' affairs, but only went to Borneo to engage in gold and made a fortune.

Borneo is Kalimantan Island. It is the third largest island in the world. It is sparsely populated. There is gold on this island. This matter is considered a secret in Ming Dynasty.

Xu Chengzong pleaded guilty because Daming had a ban on cutting mountains and cutting rocks. He went overseas to dig gold, which was indeed against the ban.

Zhu Qiyu nodded and said, "Be flat."

Digging mountains and cutting rocks overseas is not a big deal.

For example, the government of Guizhou State mined Yunnan copper all the year round in Yunnan. This matter had been acquiesced in the reign of Taizu, and it is still the same today.

Dian Bronze ranks first in the world, and Dongchuan occupies eighth.

Dongchuan accounts for [-]% of the copper mines in Yunnan.

The reason behind this matter being allowed is actually the same as Zhu Qiyu's current attitude of turning a blind eye to weapons such as firecrackers and bowl-mouthed blunderbuss on merchant ships.

The whip is beyond reach.

Zhu Qiyu looked at Xu Chengzong and asked suspiciously: "Isn't there enough food and grass in Fengyang Mansion?"

Back when Zhu Jiancheng had jaundice, Lu Zi mentioned a state of extreme sub-health for human beings, with a disheveled face.

The face is like the color of vegetables, referring to the fact that people's faces are as yellow and wilted as a wilted cabbage.

At this time, Xu Chengzong's complexion was obviously a little bad.

Xu Chengzong said tremblingly: "Your Majesty, please forgive me!"

"If His Majesty's army arrives a few months later, everyone in Fengyang Mansion will be starved to death. The bandits and troops will besiege Fengyang Mansion, and let the spies set fire to Fengyang's granary and force the ministers to surrender in Fengyang."

"The minister waits day and night, waiting for His Majesty's army to arrive, today is finally here!"

To vote and not to vote, one family and two males, can there be a more prominent position than this?

How respectful is the status of the Duke of Ming Dynasty?
Civil servants surrounded the British government and began to make fusses from the Xuande period. Until the end of the Ming Dynasty, the British public Zhang Weixian was still in the big case of moving the palace, protecting the apocalyptic emperor Zhu Youxiao, and protecting Zhu Youxiao from ascending the throne and proclaiming himself emperor.

No votes and no food, Fengyang Mansion has so many mouths, waiting for Wei Guogong to find a way, but what can Xu Chengzong do?He is not his grandfather Xu Da, who is good at fighting, so he had no choice but to break through.

That makes sense, and it's not too hard to investigate.

There are more than [-] soldiers and civilians in Fengyang Mansion. It is not difficult to investigate whether Xu Chengzong and the rebels are really fighting, or whether they are fighting each other, and whether Xu Chengzong is lying.

Before entering Xuzhou Mansion, Zhu Qiyu sent Tiqi to visit Fengyang Mansion.

Zhu Qiyu stood up and said: "Duke Wei calms down, go to rest for now, I will send an imperial doctor to diagnose your pulse and recuperate, and wait for me to clean up the rebels and avenge your humiliation today!"

Xu Chengzong finally breathed a sigh of relief, bowed his head and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness."

Tiqi's visit was very fast. Before sunset, Lu Zhong had already returned to the Xingyuan of Xuzhou Mansion, bowed his head and said, "Your Majesty, here is the case file."

Zhu Qiyu looked at it for a long time, then put it down and said: "It seems that our Duke Wei has suffered a lot."

There is one thing mentioned in the case file.

Xu Chengzong had a concubine. When Xu Chengzong received the news that Marquis Fengcheng had been killed and fled in a hurry, this concubine was burning incense in Linggu Temple. Xu Chengzong ran away without taking this concubine with him.

The rebels captured this concubine and threatened Xu Chengzong to surrender. Xu Chengzong hesitated, but he was not the only one who had the final say on Fengyang City.

In the end, this beloved concubine was divided into corpses under Fengyang City.

Although Xu Chengzong had the post of Nanjing garrison, because he was not good at military affairs, Ning Yuan Bo Renli was mostly in charge.

The king's banner was changed at the head of Nanjing City, and Ren Li fought Wang Ji several times under the city, and finally retreated to Fengyang Mansion.

There are not only Nanya Jingjun in Fengyang Mansion, but also Fengyangwei, Wupingwei and Yingyangwei.

Zhu Yuanzhang is from Fengyang, and this is the land of Longxing in the Ming Dynasty. Although the strength of Fengyang Guard has been weakened due to the years of Taiping, it is considered to be one of the few fully staffed guards in the south.

In addition, Wupingwei Commander Wang Xi, Yingyangwei Commander Jiang Tong, Xu Chengzong's brother-in-law and brother-in-law, Sanwei joined the Nanya Jingjun, and finally barely resisted Wang Ji's attack on Fengyang Mansion.

There is indeed a war.

Although in Zhu Qiyu's opinion, the level of the battle was not too high, but it was true that three large-scale sieges were carried out, and spies burned granaries.

Zhu Qiyu put down the supplementary memorial and said: "The continuous victories in the army often show the appearance of arrogance, and there are also rumors, saying: Why do you need to conquer some thieves?"

"Lu Zhong, you went to the various armies to announce the order, ordering Shi Heng, the more victorious you are in a row, you must be more cautious, strictly enforce the military law, and don't be blinded by the short-term victory."

Lu Zhong bowed his head and said: "Your Majesty is wise, I have received the decree."

The Nanya rebels were retreating like clowns, and the Lianghuai area was being pacified at a rapid speed, but this pacification gave the army a sense of arrogance.

This requires vigilance.

Zhu Qiyu is not good at military affairs, but he knows the disaster of underestimating the enemy.

So the first thing he did when he arrived in Xuzhou Mansion was to ask Yu Qian to tidy up the canal. If things changed, the army would have a way out.

A little closer, there was Zhu Qizhen who underestimated the enemy and led his army to conquer, but was overthrown, and far away was Zhu Yunqi who ordered Xu Huizu to withdraw his army.

At that time, when Xu Huizu won a great victory in the Lianghuai River, Zhu Yunqi ordered the withdrawal of the army. Apart from the constant clamor of Huang Zicheng, Huang Guan, Fang Xiaoru and others, did they not have the heart to underestimate the enemy?

Fourth Uncle is nothing more than that!Still be careful Xu Huizu supports his own self-respect!

A little further away, there was Zhao Guangyi, the God of Donkey Chariot War, who after defeating the Later Han, went straight to the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun, thinking that with the power of destroying the country, he could win in one battle and regain Yanyun.

This kind of arrogance can be found in the army, but the emperor must not have it.

The army has the wind of arrogance and victory. The emperor is clear-headed and can order strict enforcement, but the emperor's head is dizzy. What should the general do?
As for the force of His Majesty He Gu's personal conquest in the army, Zhu Qiyu didn't take it to heart.

Even Zhu Qiyu thought it was necessary.

Not to mention Li Jinglong's past, Wei Guogong Xu Chengzong waited for the army. If he had not waited, Wang Ji forced Xu Chengzong and others to surrender. How could the battle of Xuzhou end so easily?
This time, the three kings held up the prince's mansion and caused trouble in the capital of Nanjing. If he didn't go all out, he would really be magnified by the rebels, and Zhu Qiyu would regret it too late.

In less than half a month, the Ming army advanced triumphantly in the Lianghuai area like the autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves, and finally pushed forward from the banks of the Yellow River to the banks of the Yangtze River.

Shi Heng took Luzhou Prefecture directly from Suzhou to Fengyang (now Bengbu), and captured Luzhou Prefecture in three days.

Shi Biao went south from Huaining and went straight to Huai'an Mansion. Huai'an guard Gao Zuo and others went out of the city and surrendered.

Under Tao Jin's attack, Haizhou surrendered after Huai'an Mansion surrendered.

But when Shi Biao led the army to Yangzhou, he was defeated.

The defender of Yangzhou was Wang Ji's general Ran Bao, who was Wang Ji's number one general. There were many lakes near Yangzhou.

Shi Biao was also injured and returned to Huai'an Mansion.

However, Wang Ji's grand strategy was to retreat to the Yangtze River. The victory of Yangzhou did not change the situation of the Huaihe River War.

Since then, everything north of the Yangtze River has been pacified.

With the development of the war situation to this point, the rebellion led by Uncle Huichang and Uncle Jingyuan has come to an end.

But the Yangtze River is indeed not easy to cross the river. In autumn, the water rises and the Yangtze River is surging. Zhu Qiyu ordered repairs and took the opportunity to cross the river.

What is Zhu Qiyu waiting for?
Zhu Qiyu was waiting for the navy of Ningyang Hou Chen Mao to rush to Zhenjiang to prevent the enemy from escaping from the sea;

Zhu Qiyu was waiting for Ningyang Marquis Chen Mao to attack Zhejiang, Jiangxi, and Nanzhili from Fujian;

Zhu Qiyu is waiting for food, military equipment, civilian husbands, ships, etc. to be transported from Henan, Shandong and other places to Hezhou, Chuzhou, and Yangzhou.

The north-south attack did not give Wang Ji the opportunity to make an iron wall in the east, wipe out [-] million enemies, and go sailing overseas.

At this time, Li Xian is working hard to maintain the stability of Nanjing City.

The news of the defeat spread into the city of Nanjing like snowflakes.

Luzhou Prefecture, Anqing Prefecture, Hezhou, Chuzhou, Liuhe, Tianchang, Gaoyou, Yangzhou, Nantong Prefecture and other places were lost on the north bank of the Yangtze River.

If it is said that the Ming Dynasty's capital camp is powerful, and the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty paid great attention to his own conquest, if he could not defeat the army and retreat to the banks of the Yangtze River, then he would really be unable to defeat it.

What about the southern line?

Ningyang Hou Chen Mao led the Fujian army and entered Zhejiang from Wenzhou.

Wenzhou Prefecture, Chuzhou Prefecture, Jinhua Prefecture, Shaoxing Prefecture, and Ningbo Prefecture all surrendered without any resistance at all. Chen Mao's Fujian army has already forced Huzhou with troops, and it is only ten days away from Nanjing.

Both the north and south lines have been crossed, and the two roads are encircled and headed straight to Nanjing.

The tide is gone.

Li Xian was in the center of the vortex in Nanjing City, but he was quite calm. He even wrote himself to the emperor Shiyao Haoyou's House Seventeen Questions and completed it.

Recently, he has been taking advantage of Yangzhou's small victory against Shi Biao to publicize that the Ming army is not invincible and that the Ming army is not an invincible army, so he came to calm the panic in Nanjing.

Li Xian told Yuniang very solemnly: "Yuniang, let me count the days. I will prepare dry food for you for five days. In ten days, the Ming army will cross the river. The Fujian army of Marquis Ningyang will come from the south come."

"Nanjing cannot be defended."

"On the first day of November, you hide in the Jade Emperor Temple in the back garden of Cao Guogong's mansion. When you come out of the Jade Emperor Temple on the sixth day of November, you will basically be at peace."

Li Xian judged that the first day of November was the day when the city was broken, and when the city was broken, all kinds of monsters and ghosts could happen.

There are three underground palaces under the Jade Emperor Temple in Cao Guogong's mansion. Although it is a little humid, it can still be used in an emergency for five or six days.

When Yuniang came out from the underground palace and the army entered the city, the world would be at peace, and the sun would rise again, and all the demons, demons, ghosts and monsters would be wiped out.

Yuniang grabbed Li Xian's hand and said, "Can the concubine accompany the officials?"

Li Xian was speechless, but just touched Yuniang's lower abdomen, indicating that there was still a child in her stomach.

Yu Niang and Li Xian hugged each other and cried.

Li Xian pulled away Yuniang's hand, smiled reluctantly and said: "I still have something to do, you should rest earlier, these days are busy with work, so don't wait for me."

Li Xian left Cao Guogong's mansion and rushed to Yanyun Tower, which is the largest place for fireworks along the Qinhuai River, but it is brightly lit at this time.

These demons, goblins, monsters, ghosts and sprites are going crazy, and they are having the last carnival.

Today, Sun Jizong was the host. In the name of rewarding the army, he invited all the people in Nanya to Yanyun Tower to spend time and drink.

Cai Dongpan, Liu Sheng, Xie Lian, Wu Pu and others were all present, and Li Xian also joined the table.

"Everyone, King Yama has conquered everything north of the Yangtze River, and will soon cross the river. The emperor's army is really strong." Wu Pu sighed and said, "I'm afraid the city of Nanjing cannot be defended. "

"But those who cannibalize people's rewards are the things of the dead! I can't be resurrected!"

"I would like to live and die with Nanya! Are you willing to accompany me?!"

Wu Pu's meaning is very clear, that is, the cannibal's salary, he doesn't plan to live anymore, he wants to show his ambition with death!
As soon as Wu Pu's words came out, everyone immediately echoed them loudly.

"We are willing to live and die with Nanjing!"

　The maritime ban in the Ming Dynasty was no matter below the two masts. I checked a lot of information, the main information comes from the Maritime Silk Road and China’s Maritime Power Strategy Series, "Tribute Trade and Doing Business with the Sword: Foreign Trade Policy of the Ming and Qing Dynasties from the Perspective of the Global Economy", It can probably be understood as a series of books for the study of the Belt and Road Initiative, representing the current mainstream historical viewpoints.I checked a lot of information today, and the third update is here today!Make great efforts to recommend tickets and monthly tickets! ! ! !
