I am the king of the dead

Chapter 985 The scorching sun is in the sky, it is a good time
Noble people don't walk on humble grounds, but Da Mingzi brought Xing'an to the office in Shuntian Mansion. In order to welcome the emperor's arrival, the Yamen of Shuntian Mansion was cleaned from top to bottom, and even the cracks in the bricks were brushed with pig hair After reading it again, all kinds of murder weapons disappeared in the entire workshop, but there was a smell of sandalwood instead.

There is no such thing as welcoming inspections in ancient and modern China and abroad.

Zhu Qiyu looked at Yexian who was lying in the ice lump. This is the refrigerator coffin specially invented by Ke Qian, the inspector of Zhenxiguan, for Yexian. Ice cubes are added every day to prevent the frozen ones from rotting first.

The Emperor Daming signaled Xing'an to put the spirit tablet brought by the imperial study on the case. He lit three incense sticks and put them on the incense burner. Under the lingering incense, it seemed that there were ghosts wandering in the incense.

Of course the wronged soul is not real, it's just the Ming emperor's heart disease.

A butterfly flapping its wings on the Amazon River may trigger a tornado in North America. This is the butterfly effect, and Zhu Qiyu, a big moth flapping its wings, kept flapping its wings, which made the leader of Wala live a few more years .

"You died at the hands of your own people after all. Wang Fu refused to kill you, not because he was disloyal to Daming, but because Daming reopened the Western Regions and needed a stable frontier to prevent interference with Daming's national policy of developing land and sea simultaneously. "Zhu Qiyu sat on the bench, looked at Yexian's body in the refrigerator and said with a smile.

"You should wait a little longer, my knife has been sharpened enough, and I was planning to take some time to rush to Samarkand and kill you, but you didn't die under Da Ming's knife, but died in in the hands of one's own people."

Yexian deserved to die first, and the Wala people deserved to die too, but after Wala entered the west, the Ming Dynasty was beyond his reach.

After finally waiting for Daming to sharpen his knife, Kang Guo was in chaos, and he died first, and even the two sons of the murderer, the two sons of Ara Zhiyuan, died before Zhenxi Pass.

But it doesn't matter, if you die, you die, and if you don't end well, you don't end well.

"Now, the Tatars are doing well, and the Wuliangha people are doing well, so you can go there with peace of mind. Your dream of rejuvenating the Great Yuan will not come true after all." Zhu Qiyu took out a square The towel was placed on top of the golden knife, and he wanted to pull it out. After trying a few times, it was frozen solid, and he didn't bother to pull it out again.

Zhu Qiyu watched the three sticks of incense finally burn out, and said with a smile: "Xing'an."

"Your Majesty is here." Xing'an hurriedly bowed his head and said, His Majesty is usually a good talker, but when lighting incense, he is the most ferocious, even a close attendant is a little frightened.

Zhu Qiyu raised his hand, looked at Yexian's body and said: "Let the Ministry of Rites draft a eulogy, and then bring Yexian's body to Tumubao to pay homage to the dead souls of the Ming Dynasty. In the Hall of Martyrs, cut off Yexian's head and send it back. The capital, hung on the Desheng Gate, exposed to the sun for ten days, chopped up the corpse and fed it to the wild dogs, gilded the head, and buried it in front of the tomb of King Jili in the Jinshan Cemetery."

"Let the two of them be companions, and talk about the consequences of underestimating the enemy."

"I obey the decree." Xing'an hurriedly received the decree. The Ming emperor always kept his word, and the emperor said that he would cut off his head and hang it in the sun, and he would never miss a second.

Zhu Qiyu walked out of Wu Zuo's room, looked at the scorching sun, looked at the courtiers of the Ming Dynasty waiting outside the door, and said with a smile: "I will die first."

"Yao Kui, Minister of the Ministry of Rites, prepared posthumous titles for the civil and military men of the Ming Dynasty who died for the country at that time, and heirs of grace."

"Shangshu of the Household Department, Shen Yi, gave the soldiers and civilians who were martyred in those years a funeral pension in accordance with the Ming system."

"To die first is the greatest achievement in his life."

Zhu Qiyu walked out of the Shuntian government office step by step and headed towards the martial arts hall. Yexian's death was just a small footnote to the prosperity of the Ming Dynasty. His death could solve many problems left over from history.

For example, during the civil and military changes in civil and military fortresses and military officials of the Ming Dynasty and other historically qualitative issues, the elite of the Ming Dynasty were overthrown in the First World War. Because of King Jili’s improper command, the nobles of the army and civilians were always dying, and the shame of defeat was always like a mountain. on these family members.

Until today, it was finally able to draw a full stop.

And the journey of the Ming Dynasty to reopen the Western Regions is still moving forward unswervingly.

The Ministry of Household Affairs took the shortest time to optimize the regulations of the Labor Insurance Bureau on labor remuneration protection. Regarding the implementation, the Ministry of Household Affairs even ordered the local divisions to enforce the law, so they should implement the local divisions' writing. The Daming Labor Insurance Bureau has one of the customs Compared with the life and death of the right and powerful, there are officials who don't want to go to the Tianshan Mountains to graze, or to go fishing in the extreme north.

It is true that the officials do not live without a living, and only by making minor mistakes can they get the treatment of being exiled in Java. If this is not the case, what is it? !

There is one subject every three years in the Ming Dynasty. More than 400 people participated in each examination, and less than [-] people were admitted to each subject, and these [-] people had to queue for a long time in the official department to get a job. Official position.

In Daming, there is a hole, three people waiting, and before they could manage one or two, but now they don’t need money, they need connections, and it’s even more troublesome. It’s not uncommon for some people to wait for three to five years.

However, Liu Shouyi, the magistrate of the Daming Mansion, and Mr. Ge never expected that Liu Shouyi would be exiled to the extreme north to go fishing on the archipelago because of a small coachman. People, the opinions of the three legal departments are relatively consistent, and they are decisive.

Lu Laosi was released, and he was in prison. He never thought that there would be a day when he would see the sun again.

The scorching sun is in the sky, which is a good time.

The Ming Ocean Fleet did not start the voyage at this time, and still stayed in the Inca Kingdom.

Of course, this kingdom cannot be compared with Daming and Rome. To put it bluntly, it is more like a village community. It is an extremely narrow and long country without any depth. It is built along the western foot of the Southern Continent Mountain Range.

The people here were not friendly. To be exact, Tang Xing and the others were attacked when they first met the natives here.

The people of the Inca Kingdom yelled: Kanu, Kanu, driving a colorfully painted boat, even the sails were made of leaves, and rushed towards Tang Xing's big boat.

They were a group of simple and innocent children of nature, who even had very little clothes. These Incas, who did not understand the etiquette and principles in communication, rushed to the side of the big ship and began to board.

Tang Xing decisively ordered to fire, and the blunderbuss hung by the Daming Navy on the side of the ship aimed at the invading enemy. The blunderbuss, more like a bowl, was not known for its accuracy, and the gunpowder was filled with lead , in the boarding battle, the lead of the bowl mouth gun will kill and injure the enemy like splashed water.

The explosion of the bowl and mouth gun finally calmed down these unclothed children of nature.

During the half-year stay, Tang Xing heard reliable information, and along the ancient Inca road, he found the rumored mining capital. , Copper, transported to the capital of the Inca kingdom, for the king's squandering use.

In addition to iron, copper, lead and tin, the mine capital also has silver, and it is a high-quality silver mountain.

Tang Xing delayed for such a long time just to investigate the information of this silver mountain, so he even made a trip himself, and finally left this place called Peru satisfied with the samples and the drawn map.

The Peruvian Yinshan, like the Japanese silver, will definitely leave a strong mark in Daming's financial affairs.

The sails of the ship fluttered under the sea breeze, and Tang Xing gestured at the harbor with his hand, and said to Fan Dexing, the boat master: "This ancient Inca road, because of the leveling of the Incas, has initially had the possibility of road construction. A governor's mansion, and then transport the silver from the mine to the governor's mansion at the foot of the mountain, and ship it to Daming."

"This terrain is very good. It is easy to defend and difficult to attack. We only need to guard against enemies at sea."

"Commander Fandu, this seems to be the territory of the Inca Kingdom. Shall we discuss it with their king?" Fan Dexing kindly reminded Commander Tang Xing that this is not the territory of Ming Dynasty.

Tang Xing paused his gesticulating hands, pointed to the direction of the barren Yinshan Mountain and said, "I said Fan Dexing, you just give me virtue every day, right? Under the whole world, is it the land of the king? Down?"

"It's under the sky." Fan Dexing looked up at the sky, and it was indeed under the sky.

Tang Xing nodded in satisfaction and continued: "Then it's over, then this is the king's land. Since it is the king's land, the silver mountain on the king's land is a thing of the Ming Dynasty. This reason is very reasonable."

Fan Dexing said helplessly: "Commander Tang is very reasonable."

Tang Xing thought for a while before he said: "It's actually unreasonable, but Daming is short of silver, he has silver here, and the Inca Kingdom can't stop Daming's strong ships and guns, so they can only hand over the silver mountains. Greatness is the truth, the etiquette, righteousness and shame of the four directions of the Ming Dynasty are not applicable to the sea."

"Whether Daming wants this silver mountain is not up to the Inca king, but whether Daming wants it or not."

"Whether Daming wants it, definitely."

After serious thinking, Fan Dexing said: "Whether he agrees or not, Daming needs a lot of silver, and it is connected to department stores."

With the advent of the age of great voyages, the shackles of morality are gradually being loosened.

What followed was a long, lifeless voyage in the equatorial windless zone. For Daming's thirteen ships, this kind of voyage was extremely boring.

Because during these three months, Lian Feng became weak, even a born navigator, Tang Xing did not have the ability to call the wind and rain.

In the boring equatorial windless zone, because the weather was too hot, Tang Xing didn't even have any interest in fishing, so he just lay in the captain's cabin all day long.

Three months is really boring.

According to the Japanese, they often encounter such boring sea voyages, because they have never mastered the art of star-gazing, so getting lost is commonplace for the Japanese.

Since the voyage lasted more than a month, the food on the ship began to deteriorate, the wine would also be drunk, and the fresh water would turn yellow and smelly as it was stored for a long time, and people would get sick if they drank it. For fresh water, when there is no rainfall, each person can only get a small cup.

Tang Xing asked at the time, why not fish?Isn't fishing enough to be full?Will there be less food in the sea?

As a free navigator, Tang Xing used to go to sea with a single sail, and just fish for food.

After the Japanese faltered and mumbled his explanation for a long time, Tang Xing realized that fishing on a small boat was not worth the loss. Even if he caught fish, he would not be able to feed his stomach, but would be more tired and unable to make ends meet.

The most delicious food is the ship maggots from the dismantled ship plank, and the most unpalatable food is the cowhide that protects the cables. It is a rare delicacy if there are rats on board.

"In order not to starve to death, you have to eat these cowhide."

"Because of the wind, sun, and heavy rain, these cowhide are as hard as stones. They are usually soaked in sea water to make them softer. They are then roasted and used to satisfy hunger. People will die. Many, many people will die. They will be eaten, sometimes they will be roasted, and sometimes they will be eaten raw." A Japanese man gnawed on a steamed bun and said to Tang Xing with water mixed with shochu.

The Japanese people are very grateful to Tang Xing. The meals of the Daming Navy at sea can no longer be described well. Even after three months of equatorial sea voyage, they can still eat food like steamed buns. The happiest thing in life.

The Japanese took a bite of the steamed bun and continued: "We don't know why, maybe because of the long-term lack of fresh food, maybe because the drinking water is too dirty, people on board will start to get sick. It got swollen, and then began to bleed, and the teeth loosened and fell off, and after a few days, the mouth was full of sores, and finally even if there was food in the mouth, he could not swallow, and finally died in despair."

"Some people's legs are swollen like radishes even if they don't have teeth bleeding. Without any hope, jumping off the boat, jumping into the sea, sinking yourself in the sea."

"After getting lost, they will kill each other, and the remains of this kind of ship will always float in the sea. Many old crew members said that they should not touch this kind of ship, because this kind of ship is very ominous."

Tang Xing patted the Japanese man on the shoulder, rubbed the Japanese man's bare head, and said, "You will neither starve to death nor get sick, nor will your legs swell like carrots. I charge forward!"

"Take the medicine, don't be ignorant! It's not poison."

"I know that you bastards portray Lao Tzu as a monster who doesn't know anything. They say that if you don't take Lao Tzu's medicine for seven days, you will bleed to death from your seven orifices. What do you say that you are disobedient after taking Lao Tzu's medicine? Ten thousand poisons will penetrate the heart."

"Do you know these words?! Produced by the Tai Hospital! Supervised by the Ming Dynasty! You can't buy high-quality goods outside! A group of heartless white-eyed wolves."

Tang Xing scolded, but still distributed the medicine, watched the Japanese take the medicine, and then left the cabin.

The Japanese in the cabin have a big bald head, it's not that they are bald, everyone in the Daming Navy is also bald, Tang Xing is also bald, it is true that the fresh water on board is not enough after sailing on the equator for three months.

Maritime trade, in this day and age, is a business with the head pinned to the waistband. Death is an extremely common event, and only the navy of the Ming Dynasty can be spared. The way of going to sea in the Ming Dynasty is really too extravagant.

Even if the Daming Navy went out to sea, they were still bathed in the grace of the Emperor of Ming.

In addition to those cotton-padded clothes and innumerable grains of rice, the Emperor Daming also bestowed innumerable pills, this kind of elixir called Congealing Blood Pill, one pill a day, as big as longan, produced by the Daming Tai Hospital, by Ran Ning Fei exclusive sponsorship.

The main medicine of Congealing Blood Pill is freshly squeezed persimmon leaves from Taizhou, Shandong, and the auxiliary medicines are immature lemons and tangerines from Anyue, Sichuan in the Ming Dynasty.

The use of persimmon leaves as medicine is recorded in the "Materia Medica Yanyi" of the Northern Song Dynasty. Among them, Taizhou, Shandong is the best. This is also the main medicine of Zheng He's voyages to the West. The results of the Imperial Hospital, after all, Concubine Ning Qiansui came from Bozhou, Guiyang, and Bozhou is very close to Sichuan.

The pills that Tang Xing gave to the Japanese people were not the poison that pierces the heart with hundreds of poisons, but blood coagulation pills. Emperor Ming prepared [-] bottles of this thing for each ship, and it would not be a problem to eat it until it expired.

"It's really sour." Tang Xing bit the Blood Congealing Pill, which was as big as a longan, and he had to bite into it. Every time he ate it, his teeth were numb, but the Emperor of Ming Dynasty had a decree, one pill a day, no mistakes, As a result, Tang Xing could only chew raw like this.
