I am the king of the dead

The Songhai Empire is an imperial dynasty with a clear continuation of more than 1100 years. It was founded in the Western Jin Dynasty, the Kingdom of Ghana, the Kingdom of Mali, and the Songhai Empire. Lin has clearly sorted out the other party's lineage, territory, culture, race, religion, economy, military, etc.

In Zhu Qiyu's impression, there has always been backwardness, poverty, and suffering for the people there. Even before receiving this memorial, Zhu Qiyu always thought that civilization had never been bred there, but in fact, civilization was bred there, even compared to Ming Dynasty. As far as the country is concerned, it is still backward, but civilization is civilization, at least on the same level as Indian civilization.

Why did Zhu Qiyu have such a stereotype? Because they, like the Indian civilization, disappeared in the long river of history. The Songhai Empire is too close to Taixi.

Zhu Qiyu has no impression of this strange name. He can predict the end of the Songhai Empire. With the advent of the age of great exploration, their gold and huge population have become nutrients for Taixi to flourish. Ashes to ashes, dust to dust, there is no longer any vitality to speak of.

Will the Great Emperor save this lost civilization?

will not.

First, the Songhai Empire has been brutally murdered, and the Portuguese and Spaniards have begun to colonize the local area; second, the Ming people went to sea to rob, the same purpose as the Taixi people, silver, gold, labor, land, minerals, etc. They were all the targets of robbery by the Ming people.

The Songhai Empire is nourishment, it nourishes Taixi, and it can also nourish Daming.

The main body of Kaihai is the power and right led by the Ming court, and Zhu Qiyu is leading the beast to eat people.

Daming Kaihai is not much gentler than the Taixi people, at most it can leave them a few words in the history books, recording traces of their existence.

From the Memorial of Songjiang Governor Chen Zongqing, it also talked about the extensive black soil in the Juanma River Basin.

If it is said that the black land of the Ming Dynasty in Liaodong cannot accommodate more people due to the combined influence of the dimension and the Little Ice Age, then the black land in the Juanma River Basin can accommodate more than 2000 million people regardless of climate or suitable environment ,even more.

Zhu Qiyu discovered that the land might be the biggest pursuit of the Ming dynasty. When it comes to land, even the gold of the Songhai Empire is not considered, and they are all grabbing land.

Chen Zongqing also mentioned sugarcane plantations in the memorandum, which can be called the pillar industry of a place that the Governor of Songjiang specifically mentioned. What Chen Zongqing meant was whether the Ming court also set up some manors overseas, even if The imperial court does not do it by itself, but also allows the overseas governor's office to have a certain scale of production materials to maintain Ming's rule overseas.

The industry of selling sugar is really lucrative and exciting.

Those who sell laughter can't sell medicine, those who sell medicine can't sell three treasures, and those who sell three treasures can't sell sugar.

Selling sugar is more profitable than selling Fulu Sambo, and it is reasonable, legal and compliant. It is a big industry with countless people. In Chen Zongqing's view, sugar, like salt and iron, can be used as a kind of franchise to ensure the sugar industry of Ming Dynasty Smooth development.

The Scholars of Wenyuange highly agree with the Freetown and Cape Verde in Chen Zongqing's memorial, namely Freetown and Cape Verde, and Kuai Lin, the first governor of Freetown.

The existence of Liberty City safeguards the land interests of Daming on the banks of the Juanma River (Congo River), and also agrees with Chen Zongqing's statement that the navy patrols regularly for three years.

However, for the proposal of the imperial court to build plantations overseas, the scholars of Wenyuan Pavilion neither agreed nor opposed. They were not interested. Daming was still the same Daming. The smell is disliked by the old party.

Zhu Qiyu does not intend to build overseas plantations. The reason why the Overseas Governor’s Mansion is the Governor’s Mansion is that it needs to have certain means of production to maintain the rule of the Governor’s Mansion overseas. Whether it is sugar, cotton, or spices, these overseas Governor’s Mansions can do it. up.

Zhu Qiyu closed the memorial and looked at Yu Zijun, the examiner this time.

Yu Zijun was born in the fourth year of Xuande. In the second year of Jingtai, Xin Weike was a Jinshi. He was a military household in Qingshen County, Meizhou, Sichuan. Wai Lang, a member of the department, returned to Beijing for ten years after serving in the local area. This time he returned to Beijing as one of the examiners, and then he will go to Xi'an to serve as the magistrate.

Yu Zijun, a courtier, was in the emperor's pocket. He was clean and honest. He served in Fujian and Jiangxi with outstanding talents.

The reason why Zhu Qiyu looked at him was that when the Tiqis were investigating him, they discovered some strange things.

It was another year of imperial examinations, and this time no one presented books, and no one loudly questioned the emperor in Fengtian Hall why he wanted to be a king of subjugation!
Zhu Qiyu had been expecting something silly to happen, but nothing happened.

Zhu Qiyu said a few words to Xing'an, got on the Dajia Yuren and went towards the lecture hall. Today is the day of the palace examination, and there are not many memorials before Zhu Qiyu's case.

Not long after, Yu Zijun came to the Juxian Pavilion of the Lecture Hall to meet him. This was the first time Yu Zijun had an audience in the Juxian Pavilion. He didn't know what His Majesty wanted him for, but when he walked into the Lecture Hall, his legs were a little weak , Walking here means that he is stepping into the core of Daming's power step by step.

It is the ambition of every scholar to cultivate one's morality, regulate one's family, rule the country and the world.

"I pay homage to Your Majesty, long live your Majesty!" Yu Zijun bowed three times and five times with an excited heart, not to let himself be rude and ruin his future.

Zhu Qiyu said with a smile: "Excuse me, sit down. Yu Qing is working in Fujian and Jiangxi. I am quite pleased. I have learned about virtue and talent. Yao Long, the Zuo Buzheng of Jiangxi, spoke highly of Yu Qing. The officialdom is in turmoil, and Yao Long recommended Yu Qing to go to Xi'an as the prefect, and I expect a lot from you."

"I was shocked when I heard about Wei Jingyang, Yu Qing must not let me down."

"The minister must be so heartbroken to repay the grace!" Only then did Yu Zijun know that it was his immediate superior Yao Long who recommended him.

Yao Kui, cousin of Yao Long, Zuo Buzheng of Jiangxi Province, was the Minister of Rites of the current dynasty. After Hu Wei retired, Yao Kui took the position of Duke Ming in the court. Among the 27 courtiers in Wenhua Hall, Yao Kui also sat at the long table. Very close to His Majesty.

Before Yao Long went to Fujian to be the Zuo Buzheng, Yu Zijun and Yao Long did not get along very well, and the two still did not get along when they arrived in Jiangxi. Yu Zijun once openly contradicted Yao Long, because Yao Long was a little weak when dealing with Jiangxi school bosses, He is suspected of collaborating with the schoolboys.

Yao Long can't deal with the Jiangxi schoolboys, if he can do it, can he invite the emperor to Jiangxi to help?In fact, Yu Zijun didn't have anything to do, but he felt that Yao Long was doing something wrong, so he blatantly contradicted him.

To put it bluntly, it is called not fearing power for the country and the people, but to put it bluntly, it is just a bit arrogant and arrogant.

Yao Long was careful to deal with Jiangxi Xueba, and if he was not careful, he would lose everything. After all, there is a saying that the imperial court is half-Jiangxi, and it is really difficult to not invite His Majesty. Zhu Qiyu went to Jiangxi Jiulong Mansion, That was to go with Tiqi and Jingjun, the emperor was so cautious, Yao Long was more cautious, but Yu Zijun saw it as weakness and could not see Yao Long's difficulties.

If he is not in his position, he will not seek his own government.

If Zhu Qiyu were Yao Long, this Yu Zijun was under his command, so there was no need to suppress him. As long as no one recommended him, Yu Zijun would have only one end, and that would be to waste his life. From being in charge, promoting officials to magistrates, that was a big step in the officialdom, Yu Zijun There is no one in Jun Dynasty, so he still wants to be promoted?

My cousin Yao Kui is the Duke of Ming, and I am the uncle of Jiangxi. Who in Jiangxi would dare to recommend Yu Zijun?
But Yao Long still recommended him to the emperor. Yao Long's character is indeed a bit kind to others, and he always does things for Daming. If you can't urinate in a pot, he will let you go to another place.

The reason why Zhu Qiyu pointed it out so clearly is to let Yu Zijun know who the person who recommended him is. Now that Yu Zijun is going to be a part of the sky, Yu Zijun is about to face the difficulties that Yao Long is facing. You will understand that Yao Long is not weak, but cautious.

Zhu Qiyu's words have another meaning. Yu Zijun can learn from Yao Long, and if he can't beat him, he can call in reinforcements.

The emperor has your back.

"Who else is in Yu Qing's family?" Zhu Qiyu asked about Yu Zijun's family situation.

Yu Zijun was taken aback, and hurriedly said: "My elder brother was a student supervisor in Chongqing Mansion, but he failed many times. Now he is a teacher and has a private school. My second elder brother died early, so he has no relatives."

"Where are your father and grandfather?" Zhu Qiyu asked again.

Yu Zijun shook his head and said: "I have never met my grandfather. My father died when I was ten years old. My eldest brother is like my father. It was my elder brother who brought me up. Because of my livelihood, my elder brother delayed my studies, so I failed many times."

Yu Zijun's elder brother, Yu Zixun, is a peerless good brother like Li Chengwu in Jiugang. In order to take care of his ten-year-old brother and let him continue to study, Yu Zixun became both a father and a mother. Until the second year of Jingtai, Yu Zijun was in Only after he became a Jinshi did Yu Zixun get his wife.

"Has there ever been a distant relative at home?" Zhu Qiyu asked again.

Yu Zijun finally figured out something was wrong, but he still didn't know what His Majesty was asking. He chose to tell the truth: "Grandfather came to Sichuan from Jingshan, and the relatives in his hometown have stopped visiting for a long time. As for the two uncles, for the sake of the family. The ten mu of Susukida has turned against each other."

"So, I just ask casually, do things well, and go." Zhu Qiyu saw Yu Zijun's blank face, without the slightest fear, and knew that Yu Zijun didn't know his life experience.

"Your Majesty, please leave." Yu Zijun still looked confused when he came out of the lecture hall, but he couldn't figure it out, so he didn't think about it any more. His Majesty's question naturally had His Majesty's reason. He shook his head and went to the Tribute Court. He wanted to review the papers. , I also want to edit a book and send it to Jiangxi. I would like to thank Yao Long for his support.

In Juxian Pavilion, Zhu Qiyu looked at the pile of information about Yu Zijun's great-grandfather, and said to Lu Zhong: "Do you think he knows?"

"I don't know, neither do his two uncles." Lu Zhong said very firmly.

The Tiqis went to Jingshan to retrieve the documents of Yu Zijun's great-grandfather, and then found the documents of the Hongwu year's visit to Hu Yuan's clan. After searching for a long time, they finally figured out the true origin of Yu Zijun's great-grandfather.

The three Tiqi personally went to Meizhou, and also went to his family's dilapidated and unoccupied old house. They found the golden seal and edict of Yu Zijun's great-grandfather from the foundation. king.

Zhu Qiyu asked about Yu Zijun's family affairs because Yu Zijun's surname was not Yu, but Borjijin, who was the Borjijin of Genghis Khan Temujin.

Boer Jijin Zijun is the tenth grandson of Temujin. In fact, Yu Zijun can compete with Tuotuo Buhua for the throne of Khan. In the troubled times at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, Yu Zijun’s grandfather changed his surname to Tiezai Jingshan After staying for 12 years, because he was afraid of the imperial court hunting and killing Yuan's clan, he changed Tie's surname to Yu again and fled to settle in Meizhou, Sichuan.

When I arrived in Qingshen County, Meizhou, I entered the local guard and became a military household, and settled down incognito.

The Ti Qis did their due diligence, and Yu Zijun was outstanding in virtue and talent, so it was natural to examine his background. How many of the Jinshi in the second year of Jingtai could fall into the eyes of the emperor?Only then did the nearly 90-year-old case be uncovered.

"Burn them all." Zhu Qiyu pushed out all the information about Yu Zijun's great-grandfather, and the matter came to an end. Jin, more like scolding him.

Lu Zhong put away those papers and threw them into the brazier. After the former imperial family, this status depends on whether His Majesty the Emperor wants to pursue it. If not, these are useless.

Identity is a social relationship, not just blood. Yu Zijun is already related to Hu Yuan's clan and has no social relationship, so there is no need to pursue it.

It's all over, let's look at the present.

"The three provinces of Liaodong in the Ming Dynasty, as long as they can last for a long time, there will be no Jurchen within a hundred years." Zhu Qiyu lit a fire and threw it into the brazier. The fire in the brazier was bright and uncertain, illuminating Zhu Qiyu's smiling face.

The Golden Family has passed away, and no one will remember the Jurchen three to fifty years later.

In the counties and counties of the three provinces of Liaodong, in the future, there will be old slave chieftain Nurhachi and small slave chieftain Badger, taking advantage of Daming and Li Zicheng's feud, and small slave chieftain picking peaches?
The little slave chief Huang Taiji's real name is Hong Taiji, Taiji means prince, and the pronunciation of Hong in their place means badger, and Hong Taiji means prince badger.

The three characters "Huang Taiji" were specially given by the Boneless Scribes who entered the customs in the Qing Dynasty in order to flatter and please Shunzhi.

"Something in the imperial study, my husband, what if it catches fire?" Ran Siniang came slowly, smelling the smoke, and said worriedly.

Zhu Qiyu didn't explain too much, some of the past, let him be the past, some of the secrets, it's better not to come out of Juxian Pavilion, he asked with a smile: "The imperial hospital asked Mrs. Ran to deliver the memorial again?"

"That's not it." Ran Siniang shook her head helplessly. The imperial hospital wanted to hear something, and it would take more than ten days to go to Wenyuan Pavilion. Don't mention the delay. Wenyuan Pavilion is easy to forget, and the memorials are piled up like a mountain. I don't know when it is again.

"What's the matter this time?" Zhu Qiyu opened the memorial, looked at it twice, looked at Ran Siniang in surprise and asked, "Who wrote this?"

"Hu Wei's second son, Hu Changxiang." Ran Siniang said with a smile, "Miss, is it a matter of course for me to enter Juxian Pavilion this time? It's not considered a kindness or favor."

"I know that my wife is not such a person. This memorial is through Wenyuan Pavilion, and the scholars of Wenyuan Pavilion dare not neglect it. This is a major matter involving the country and society." Zhu Qiyu stood up holding the memorial and said: " Master Xuan Hu and Hu Changxiang come over."

"Okay, okay." Zhu Qiyu walked back and forth with the memorial in his hand.

Ran Siniang moved closer, and said in a low voice: "The husband handles state affairs, and the concubine has returned to the backyard. The husband will come back earlier."

In Hu Changxiang's memorial, he imitated horses and donkeys to breed mules, and bred a kind of cold-resistant rice, and the three provinces of Liaodong were indeed very cold.

Huang Taiji is the badger prince. This is what the iron hat Wang Daishan said. If you want to be reasonable, you can go to Daishan. Hundreds of Chinese scholars have agronomy, and agronomists specialize in breeding and breeding. Ask for monthly tickets, woo! ! ! ! ! ! !
