Daming Crazy Emperor

Chapter 283 Another Crazy Cleansing

On the battleship Longya, Taichang looked at the destroyed dock and the buried waterway, and couldn't help showing a trace of regret on his face.

Such a large shipyard is almost as large as the Shanghai River Shipyard. It is indeed a pity that it was destroyed like this.

If possible, he really wants to send someone over to take over the shipyard and continue building ships here.

Even if Dragon Fang Warships and Spike Fang Warships cannot be built here, it would be good to build some merchant ships or fishing boats for civilian use.

After all, after the sea ban is completely abolished, the private sector will also need to use ships.

However, he could not or dare not do so.

Because the power behind these pirates or sea merchants was too huge, so huge that he was a little startled.

This southeast coast seems to have formed a profit chain model using pirates or maritime merchants as tools, and it can't be cut no matter what.

It can be said that it is precisely because of the policy of the Ming Dynasty that the sea ban has nurtured such a deformed interest group, and as long as the sea ban is not completely abolished, this kind of interest group will continue to exist.

The interest groups on the southeast coast have been passed down for more than 200 years, and they have suffered devastating blows in the middle, but the devastating blows are useless, and they will soon resurface.

There is no way, the profits of overseas trade are too attractive these days, and there will always be people who can't help but want to reach out and grab this amazing benefit.

These people are not vegetarians.

Not to mention far away, let's talk about the Jiajing, Longqing, and Wanli dynasties.

The vicious tactics of the southeast coastal interest groups in these three dynasties are simply chilling.

In fact, at that time, all the officials in the court more or less knew that whether it was Japanese pirates or pirates, they were all tools cultivated by these people to grab profits.

There are also many people who do not believe in evil, and insist on eradicating Japanese pirates and pirates, and cutting off their sources of profit.

What happened to these people?

Yu Dayou was constantly dismissed and dismissed, there are reasons for his life in the world, but the fundamental reason is that he suppressed the Japanese pirates too hard, which affected other people's interests.

So he was always dismissed inexplicably, I don't know how many times he was dismissed, and when he was old, he was dismissed once, and in the end he only served as the governor.

He is still the luckiest!

Qi Jiguang's ending was even worse than his. But when Qi Jiguang became old, he was directly beaten to the end. In the end, he was so poor that he didn't even have the money to buy medicine, and he died of illness directly.

They are still good, those who really preside over the overall situation are really miserable.

Minister of the Ministry of War, Youdu Yushi of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and Prince Shaobao Hu Zongxian, because of the extermination of Japanese pirates, they were accused of being Yan Song's party. They couldn't argue with each other, and finally committed suicide in prison!
Zhang Jing, Minister of the Ministry of War and governor of five provinces, was framed and beheaded for public display because of his great victory in suppressing Japanese pirates.

Youqian Du Yushi of the Metropolitan Procuratorate and Li Tianchong, the governor of Zhejiang Province, were also framed and beheaded for public display because of their ruthless suppression of Japanese pirates.

During the Jiajing, Longqing, and Wanli dynasties, all those who made great achievements in suppressing the Japanese were either dismissed or cut off!
Some people may say that this is caused by the power struggle in the court. The problem, at that time, the power struggle in the court was not to the extent that it would kill people at every turn!
Yan Song, a big corrupt official, was not cut down, so why would a great hero who has made great contributions to suppressing Japanese people be cut down?

Obviously, this is because they have cut off other people's money!

Cutting off people's wealth is like killing their parents, and the interest groups in the southeast coast want to kill them.

These people are too cruel.

Of course, Taichang is not afraid of these people. Compared with him, who is the emperor, these people are not qualified!

He has already ordered Sun Chuanting to act, and this time, he will also deal a devastating blow to the southeast coastal interest groups.

However, the astonishing profits of overseas trade these days are too tempting. Even if he kills this wave, there is no guarantee that another wave will slowly breed in the future.

Therefore, this shipyard must be destroyed, otherwise, there will always be those who are not afraid of death and try their best to control it and use it to build pirate ships or smuggling ships.

Alas, I hope Sun Chuanting can clean up a little this time.

Perhaps, with the continuous implementation of the comprehensive opening of the sea, this deformed interest group may eventually die out.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but look to the north in the direction of Fuzhou Mansion.

At this time, Sun Chuanting had led the Shenwu Battalion cavalry to Fuzhou Mansion, and Xu Xinsu and Yang Liu and Yang Qi had already been sent there, and Liu Xiang, Li Kuiqi and Zhong Bin were also on their way there.

Taichang's will for him is very clear, that is, the interest groups in the southeast coast that have anything to do with pirates must be cleaned up.

Sun Chuanting was the commander who had commanded an army of more than [-] in the southwest for several years. Although killing people could not be described as routine for him, he would not frown if he killed tens of thousands.

He arrested Xu Xinsu, Yang Liu, Yang Qi, Liu Xiang, Li Kuiqi, Zhong Bin and others and tortured them severely. He killed every one who came out of the torture, and killed a bunch of them after the torture!
All of a sudden, in Zhejiang, Fujian, and Guangdong, there were cavalry from the Shenwu Camp everywhere, and if anyone was caught, it would be a one-shot kill.

Whether it is a local family of officials and eunuchs, local tyrants and squires, or the magistrates, prefectures, and counties appointed by the imperial court.

Whether it is the command envoy of the Dusiwei Office, thousands of households, or hundreds of households, or the tea supervisor, salt supervisor, patrol inspector, etc. of the Metropolitan Procuratorate.

Anyone who has connections with pirates will be caught and killed!

No matter how many hundreds, thousands, or even tens of thousands, and no matter what background it has, it's a one-shot kill anyway!

Sun Chuanting's frantic cleansing directly killed the entire southeast with wailing, panic and resentment.

If it weren't for the army of the Shenwu Battalion, many people would have taken the risk and rebelled!
At this time, Taichang brought the Dongyang Navy to Yazhou, which is known as the ends of the earth.

Of course, he didn't come to enjoy the scenery, he didn't want anyone to intercede with him, so he simply ran to the ends of the earth.

At this moment, Chen Zilong is leading people to try to plant rubber trees here.

One year has passed, how is the rubber tree doing?
This thing is too important to Daming's development, and he happens to be nearby, so Taichang took this opportunity to come and have a look for himself.

To be honest, this place is really hot, even though it is only early summer, this place is already too hot.

As an emperor, Taichang naturally couldn't be shirtless to cool off like others, he couldn't even wear a short-sleeved vest.

He could only wear a silk robe, and people kept fanning him.

He had never been to Yazhou, and he didn't know exactly where Chen Zilong and the others planted rubber trees. He could only rush to Yazhou City first and ordered someone to ask.

Unexpectedly, even the magistrate of Yazhou didn't know where Chen Zilong was!

Because Qiongzhou Mansion is really too big, covering several inland prefectures, and the boundary of Yazhou is almost as big as an ordinary inland mansion.

And Chen Zilong is not under the control of local officials, so he doesn't need to report to others at all.

Moreover, before Chen Zilong and Ma Shilong brought people here, the entire Qiongzhou Prefecture had a total population of just over [-], and the population of Yazhou was even more pitiful.
In desperation, he could only send a clipper to search along the coast.

Fortunately, the goal of several 10 people is still very big, and it is not difficult to find it.

Less than an hour after the wheeler was sent out, Chen Zilong and the others were found.

Soon, the fleet came to an unknown bay under the guidance of the wheeled boat. Taichang boarded the simple pier to see it, and couldn't help but be taken aback.

Chen Zilong, Ma Shilong and others were all wearing short-sleeved vests and bamboo hats, just like old farmers in the country, without shoes!
After the emperor and his ministers greeted each other, Chen Zilong couldn't help but said in embarrassment: "Forgive me, your majesty, this place is really too hot, I can't wear official uniforms, I'm so rude."

What is this.

Taichang patted him on the shoulder and said kindly: "Thanks for your hard work. I really didn't expect this place to be so hot. How is it? How are the rubber trees planted?"

When Chen Zilong heard this, he immediately regained his energy.

He couldn't help but excitedly said: "Your Majesty, you are right. This rubber tree really likes heat, and it is especially hot. This place is simply too suitable for planting rubber trees. At this moment, the best growing rubber tree saplings are almost gone. It's a foot high."

Hearing this, Taichang couldn't help but said with great interest: "Oh, quickly take me to have a look."

Uh, this.

Hearing this, Chen Zilong hesitated for a moment, and then discussed with Ma Shilong in a low voice.

He was afraid that something would happen to the emperor, after all there are hundreds of thousands of captives here!
Soon, Ma Shilong recruited tens of thousands of horses, all the way from the pier to the distant mountains.

Taichang didn't say anything, just urged Chen Zilong to leave quickly.

He followed Chen Zilong for about half an hour before he came to a hillside that was originally covered with grass.

The green grass on the hillside has been cleared to form a channel about half a foot wide, and in the middle of the channel are neatly planted rows of saplings.

Looking at the saplings one after another on the nearby hillside, Taichang couldn't help being surprised and said, "There are so many, you planted all [-]?"

Chen Zilong shook his head quickly and said: "No, no, Your Majesty, there are only more than 8000 seeds here in total, and the remaining ones either have problems with the seeds or did not survive when they were transplanted. Alas, what a pity."

More than 8000 seeds are already quite good, and the survival rate is astonishingly high!

Taichang patted him on the shoulder and praised: "It's already very good. Anyway, people will send [-] seeds over every year. It doesn't matter if a thousand seeds don't survive. As long as these rubber trees bear seeds, thousands of seeds will not matter." What is it. At that time, you have to plant this rubber tree all over Qiongzhou Prefecture."

Chen Zilong nodded repeatedly and said: "No problem, Your Majesty, I won't go back until I plant this Qiongzhou Mansion all over!"

They had a happy chat here, but the southeast coast was full of blood and wailing everywhere.

Sun Chuanting is really not ordinary ruthless.

If the emperor told him to kill, he would kill, no matter how many people there were!
