Emperor Ming Dynasty

"Hey, Master Zhang, why are you here?"

"Why are you here?"

At the moat below the city, thousands of Annan people, holding hands with their shoulders, constantly moved the stones in the moat, sweating, and it was very hard work in the dry season.

But at this time, many people saw that there was a boy student among them, which caused everyone to be amazed.

Hearing the words, Mrs. Zhang first covered her face with her undress in shame, but finally couldn't bear it anymore, and said: "The family was destroyed by the rebels, and there is not enough food. In order to support the family, this is the only way to do it."

After saying that, he stretched out his hands, revealing a lot of blood bubbles.

Seeing this, everyone sighed and chattered, and then sent someone to intercede, only asking him to pick up stones instead of picking stones.

Annan began to hold imperial examinations as early as the Li Dynasty in the Song Dynasty, and then officially began to implement the imperial examinations in the Qianli Dynasty in the early Ming Dynasty.

Completely copied the Ming Dynasty, stereotyped, scholar, Juren, Jinshi, top three Jinshi, etc., the status of scholars has always been very high.

So when he learned that Mr. Zhang, who was teaching, had to come to work as a child student, he rushed to help.

In order to benefit the people, the Qin army announced that each person would get ten catties of grain for picking up rocks. In the eyes of the poor in the city, doing one day's work can make the family eat for three days, which is the best deal.

The movement under the city immediately attracted the attention of King Qin.

After a little questioning, he understood the reason, turned his head and said: "I gave birth to twenty catties of grain with that boy, and told him that I respect him for teaching and educating people, and he is a disciple of a sage."

Speaking of this, he thought about it again, and showed a smile: "Besides, you go and announce that if your family is damaged by a military disaster, you will be compensated with two silver dollars."

"Your Highness—" Zhu Jing beside him couldn't help but was stopped.

"I understand what you mean." Qin Wang said to himself, "I didn't embezzle the military salary. This year, the Qin State and the two prefectures taxed 50 shi. I sent half of it to Luzon and Qi State, and got 15 silver coins."

"There is still a surplus of 3 yuan, which is enough to win the hearts of the people."

Soon, the soldiers went down to the city and spread the news: "Your Highness is sympathetic. As a scholar, you should teach and educate talents. Take the twenty catties of grain!"

"In addition, Qin Wang Rende, you will all be citizens of Great Qin in the future. This military disaster has caused a lot of damage, so if your home is robbed or your house is dilapidated, as long as you pass the inspection, each family will get two silver coins."

As soon as this remark came out, there was an uproar immediately.

All the people listed were shocked, this is a lot of money.

You must know that in Annan, there is still a shortage of silver than in Daming, so copper and silver are expensive, while grain is cheap.

Two silver coins are enough to buy more than ten stones of grain in the market. Not only can it repair the house, but it can also make the family marry a daughter-in-law.

Notices were also posted on the streets and alleys, announcing the entire city of Hue.

At this time, Hue City did not have the majesty and prestige of the future capital of Vietnam, and it was not Chengtian Mansion. It only had [-] households and about [-] people.

In this way, it was almost a meal, and it spread throughout the city.

"Ma'am, the food is almost cooked—"

Back home, Master Zhang couldn't wait to put down the precious food.

"Okay." His wife replied, "I'm like the next door making an excuse for cooking."

At noon, the family of five had hot rice.

Master Zhang rubbed his belly. This was the most full he had eaten in a while.

Before he could sigh, he saw a group of scholars rushing in, crowding his small home to the brim.

"Senior Zhang, I heard that you met King Qin?"

"How about King Qin?"

Everyone expressed concern.

Mrs. Zhang was taken aback, then smiled wryly, "It's just that His Royal Highness King Qin took pity on my hard work, so he rewarded me with twenty catties of rice."

As he spoke, he held his head high and said, "Words are the disciples of a sage, so it shouldn't be so."

"That's true, I didn't expect His Royal Highness King Qin to be a person who loves to learn—"

"This is the Holy King!" ˙О˙

"Have you forgotten, I, the Son of Heaven, is still in the Thang Long Mansion? /--マ"

Suddenly, someone shouted outrageously.

For a while, everyone was a little embarrassed.

Annan is known as Annan to the outside world, but he has always called himself Dai Viet internally. Although the Lai family is now a puppet and the northern Zheng family is in power, the Lai family is still the master in name.

Even today Annan is divided into two.

"Da Yue is probably exhausted." Master Zhang couldn't help but said, "Da Yue's army will be here tomorrow, the Li Dynasty will fall, and the Qin Dynasty will be established."

"Nonsense, it's impossible—"

"The Ruan family repeatedly repelled the Zheng family's soldiers, but they were vulnerable to the King of Qin. Doesn't the King of Qin occupy the destiny?"

Several people fought louder and louder, and finally broke up unhappy.

After distributing the money, King Qin paid homage to the Confucius Temple in person.Then read out the king's order, recognize the merits of the imperial examination during the Li Dynasty, and recruit scholars to enter the court as officials.

In addition, he also announced the abolition of Ruan's taxation law, and the implementation of ten taxes and one light tax.

With the launch of a series of measures to calm the people, King Qin felt more and more like a fish in water.

To say a thousand words and ten thousand, in the final analysis, the scholars are at ease.

Because they can continue to be officials, and even go a step further in Qin State and become high-ranking officials. This kind of temptation is much stronger than that of Guangnan State, where the Ruan family lived in a corner.

So far, Qin State has obtained the land of five mansions in Annan.

Champa, Saigon, Phu An, Quang Nam, and Quang Tri five prefectures, more than ten counties, officially had more than one million people under their rule.

At the same time, due to the imperial examination policy of the Li Dynasty for many years, the government orders were unimpeded in the Qin State, and a large number of scholar-bureaucrats defected to the Qin State, and the ruling foundation was instantly consolidated.

King Qin also moved his palace to Hue, and announced that Thang Long Mansion in the north would be officially designated as the capital of the country and renamed Hanoi Mansion.

These words spread to Thang Long, and immediately aroused the dissatisfaction of the entire Li Dynasty.

"The Ming army was cunning and caused the Mo family to stir up trouble, making us unable to move, and took down the Ruan family in one go."

At this time, the Northern Lord, Zheng Zuo, the king of Xiding, could hardly hide his anger and couldn't help gushing out.

All the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty were chilled for a while, and even Li Xuanzong, who was sitting high on the dragon chair, couldn't help shivering.

In 1592, the general of the Hou Le Dynasty Zheng Song defeated the Northern Mo Dynasty, and the Hou Le Dynasty returned to Thang Long.

At that time, Zheng Song's power was very hot. He appointed himself "Marshal of the capital, general state affairs, father and king of Ping'an". Receive envoys.

It can be said that the Zheng family at this time has completely emptied the Le Dynasty, and like Japan, it belongs to the dual political system.

Of course, the reason why the Zheng family did not dethrone the Li family was mainly because the Mo family was still alive, the Ruan family ruled Guangnan, and the Wu family ruled China.

Once the Li family is abolished, there will be no righteousness in his hands, and he will be easily beaten by gangs.

At this time, the chief assistant of the cabinet raised his head and said: "The heart of the northern kingdom is not dead, so he sent his son King Qin, and now he has destroyed the Ruan family, occupying Guangnan in the south, and colluding with the Mo family in the north. This is a major disaster for our country."

"The current plan is to destroy King Qin, at all costs."

"The ministers and others are lying, Da Yue would rather be with the Mo family than give up the Ming country."

These words made the audience cold.

Zheng Zuo sat high with no expression on his face, while Li Xuanzong remained silent, peeking at Zheng Zuo from time to time, waiting for his reply.

In fact, Zheng Zuo's anger at this time has almost dissipated.

As a ruler, he is naturally sensitive to power, and at the same time, he is also a very powerful person.

Of course he understood that this group of scholars naturally stood their heels on Li Chao.

Because the Li Dynasty was established by expelling the Ming army, it was naturally in a righteous position, just like the Ming expelled the Meng Yuan.

But his Zheng family didn't think so.

If he could give up the two houses of the Ruan family in exchange for the Zheng family as king, he wished so, so that he could usurp the throne and depose the Li family as soon as possible.

However, now that the Ruan family is destroyed, it is worth making him laugh for three days, but Qin Guoli is a headache.

Firearms are not uncommon in Annan. Matchlock guns, whether it is the Ruan family or the Zheng family, have many, but they all know that the matchlock guns cannot match the brave spearmen.

The muskets of the Ming Dynasty are extraordinary?
"Now, we have to think about it in the long run."

Zheng Zuo raised his head, his eyes were full of dignity, and said in a deep voice: "We are adjacent to Guangxi Province of the Ming Dynasty. If the north and the south are attacked, Shenglong will be hard to protect."

"Send someone to inquire first, and make a fool of yourself."

"At least we have to wait until we have enough soldiers and food before going south."

Everyone agreed, and the meeting was considered over.

After returning to his palace, Zheng Zuo met several Xiyi people.

"Mingren's musket, is it really tap fire?"

he asked quietly.

The visitor smiled lightly and said, "Your Majesty the King, there are many Beijing camps in the Qin army, and they use flintlock guns, that is, tap fire."

"There are also many artillery pieces, which Annan is far behind."

"Then what can you bring?" Zheng Zuo pondered for a moment, then looked up, his eyes full of exploration.

"Flintlocks, lots of flintlocks."

Holland couldn't wait to say: "As long as you have gold and silver, even copper coins, I can bring you a lot of flintlock guns."

"Where's the artillery?" Zheng Zuo said excitedly.

"It's okay, as long as you have money." The Dutchman said with a smile: "Please rest assured, we are enemies with Daming, and we are friends with you."

Zheng Zuo just nodded and fell into thinking.

Xiyi came to Annan decades ago. Although they look down on the poor people in Annan, they still have the advantage of being rich in food, so there are still some Westerners who come to do business.

But the missionaries came and didn't want to leave. Even though Mrs. Zheng kept restraining him, Xiyi was like a dog's skin plaster, and he couldn't get rid of it no matter what.

It was precisely because of this that Zheng was able to quickly contact the Dutchman.

"I need five thousand flintlock guns and ten cannons—" Zheng Zuo made up his mind.

At this time, the Zheng family was in Thang Long, centered on the Red River Delta, with a large population and fertile land, and its strength was No. [-] in Annan.

At the same time, because the three families of Ruan, Mo, and Wu are still there, they implement the government military system and rent mediocrity system, which was inherited from the Tang Dynasty, and they can quickly recruit troops to fight in the south and north.

It can be said to be the unity of the military and the country.

It is precisely because of its unique system that the Zheng family has been able to stand for more than two hundred years.

When Annan was in turmoil, Beijing was peaceful through singing and dancing.

On Zhengdan Day, it can be said that there are gatherings of Chinese and foreign countries, so it is very lively.

The prince also appeared again after getting married, looking extraordinarily energetic.

Of course, because of the issue of Annan's strategy, the vassals feel sympathetic.

In this regard, the Ministry of Rites explained: "The country of Annan was originally the Mo family, but now the Li family is a puppet, and the powerful ministers are in power. Lord Li..."

The vassals who came and went did not believe a word of these words.

But North Korea couldn't stop nodding and saying yes, and even said shamelessly: "The Li Dynasty is blessed, and the destiny is not long. It should be the Kingdom of Qin, so it can be regarded as the blessing of the Annan people."

There is no way, the bordering North Korea is not afraid, and the rest of the countries can only accept it helplessly.

After all, on the surface, Guangxi's army has been safe and sound, and has not directly sent troops across the border. They directly blamed King Qin, so they naturally have nothing to do.

The situation is better than people.

Among them, the Kazakh Khanate is unique, and asked directly: "How did I hear that your country's Anxi soldiers and horses crossed the border and directly sent troops to the Kokand region..."

"That's why you sent troops after Abdullah Khan, the man who died in Yarkand."

The people from the Ministry of Rites said calmly: "Besides, this is a matter of the Bukhara Khanate. If your country doesn't understand it, it will talk nonsense, which is really nonsense."

"Those who don't know think that our Ming Dynasty is a vassal state—"

"This..." "Don't dare, dare not—"

The envoys of the Kazakh Khanate were impatient and could only be forced to admit their mistakes.

This Zhengdan dynasty was as harmonious and lively as ever.

Zhu Yixi sat high on it, and dozens of envoys from the vassal states were dressed in different attires. It was extremely lively now, and he felt it very much watching it.

All nations come to court, the favorite of the ancient kings.

He thought of his sons again.

If you can see your sons and become a feudal clan in your lifetime, then the number of vassal states will be doubled, that would be fun.

It's nice to think about it!
I have been busy until night, and the protracted Zhengdan Dynasty is over, and the lights of thousands of houses are very lively.

At night, the emperor was very tired and had no interest in sex, so he just found a palace lady with big breasts, hugged her and fell asleep.

The next day, after wiping off his tender saliva, the emperor started another day of corrupt life.

However, at this time, King Liao came to see him with some interest.

"how?"

The emperor said lazily.

Throughout the first month, he felt a little lazy.

Maybe it's because people are middle-aged!
"Father, my son heard that Duke Jin captured Haohan?"

Liao Wangjun's face was full of smiles: "Can my son go to the feudal clan like the eldest brother?"

"After all, relying solely on Duke Jin to conquer the Liao Kingdom is useless. You have to participate in it yourself."

"Do you want to go?" Zhu Yixi was quite surprised, this son just came back from Kang, and he didn't feel tired yet.

"I just want to see the world." King Liao said flatteringly, "Father got up from the army, and my son will be able to reap the rewards when the time comes. I'm afraid he will be underestimated."

"Furthermore, it is better to go to the Liao Kingdom to take a walk in the Six Departments. You will appoint a few ministers to assist you, and the Liao King will be safe..."
