Chapter 267
……

In the past half a month, the entire Ming Dynasty was up and down, and it was like a storm.

First, Zhang Hong, Hou Fang, and Liu Fulin gathered scholars and established Dongshan College to oppose the reform of the imperial examination system and fight against the imperial court.

Immediately afterwards, Huang Jiuyan was on the main hall, not only defending Hou Fang and others, but also attacking the new imperial examination, and even openly criticizing His Highness the King of England!
Finally, His Majesty the Emperor was furious, and Huang Jiuyan and the nine clans of the three were punished.

It even exiled all the students, officials, and nine ethnic groups related to these four people to Yinzhou overseas.

For a moment, Jin Yiwei Ti rode around to arrest people.

There are those who are lucky because they escaped the catastrophe and the whole family survived.

There are also those who are distraught and distraught when they are assigned to the wild for themselves.

There are also many people who applaud loudly and feel happy.

In short, the appearance of all living beings is vividly displayed.

Jin Yiwei arrested people for a full month, and arrested more than [-] people who dragged their families.

It can be called the largest case since the founding of the country.

In the imperial study room, Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the memorial presented by Mao Xiang and sneered again and again: "Okay! Okay, 500 million taels of silver, 70 mu of fertile land, and countless real estate of pawnshops, restaurants, inns, and brothels..."

"This is only the family property of Zhang Hong, Liu Fulin and others, not counting the implicated officials in Zhejiang and the important officials who were dismissed from the court!"

"It's no wonder that the former Yuan Dynasty died in less than a hundred years. These corrupt officials have contributed a lot!"

"Exile to Yinzhou...huh! It's really cheap for these bastards! They should be punished for nine clans, and then they will be skinned and filled with grass and hung in the government office!"

The more Zhu Yuanzhang talked, the more angry he became, and he smashed the memorial on the imperial case!
Mao Xiang, who was kneeling on the ground, put his head on the ground deeply, for fear of causing trouble to his upper body.

Zhu Han next to him coughed and said in a low voice, "Mao Xiang, go down first!"

Mao Xiang hurriedly backed away without looking at Zhu Yuanzhang's face at all.

Because he knew that the emperor had great favor and trust for his younger brother, and he respected the King of England, His Majesty the Emperor would only look more and more pleasing to him!
At this moment, there are only two brothers left in the imperial study room.

Zhu Han then smiled and said: "Brother, why are you angry with these people, it's not worth it!"

Zhu Yuanzhang snorted coldly: "Qiwu, you are just too soft-hearted!"

Zhu Han's eyelids twitched involuntarily, is this soft-hearted?

That's right, if compared with the original history, Lao Zhu Daxing Hulan Prison, killing more than [-] people, isn't he soft-hearted!
Thinking of this, Zhu Han couldn't help shaking his head, dispelling all distracting thoughts in his mind, and then said cheerfully: "The overseas Yinzhou is my fiefdom in the future..."

"I can't wait for the King of England to become a feudal clan in the future. It's really a barren place! This group of people just passed by and took care of me."

Hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang became more and more unhappy: "Stop telling us after this, no matter what, we can't seal you, the only direct brother, to that place where birds don't lay eggs..."

"Otherwise, how will we explain to our parents after a hundred years?"

Zhu Han scratched his head helplessly. Even today, Zhu Yuanzhang is still unwilling to seal America to himself.

No matter how many times he described the beautiful scene in America to Emperor Zhu, Zhu Yuanzhang didn't believe it!

No matter how good it is, how can it still have the Chinese territory?
"Cheng Chengcheng, let's not talk about this, Hu Dahai is going to sea, brother, haven't you seen him?" Zhu Han changed the subject.

As soon as Zhu Yuanzhang heard that it was Hu Dahai, he said angrily: "It's another matter of Yinzhou overseas. We are annoyed when we hear this name now. You have always been in charge of this matter, so let's not ask... today In the evening your sister-in-law cooks and prepares the table dishes, let us have a few cups!"

After speaking, he got up from the throne, grabbed Zhu Han's arm with one hand, and pulled him into the harem without any explanation.

The eunuchs and maids serving on both sides are all envious. The prince who has been favored since ancient times is no more than the king of England in this dynasty!
After this family feast, it was already late at night, Zhu Yuanzhang specially asked his own dragon chariot to send Zhu Han back to his house!

This is not the first time such an honor. At the beginning, there was the impeachment of Yushi. Zhu Yuanzhang said that he would be impeached casually. Why should we use our own chariot to send our brothers home?
Over time, everyone became numb and turned a blind eye.

As soon as Zhu Han arrived at the gate of the mansion, a servant immediately reported back: "Master Hu, the chief protector of Heishui, has been waiting in the main hall for a long time!"

Zhu Han was overjoyed: "It's just in time, let him meet me in the study!"

Then the next person should retreat.

Zhu Han strode towards the study room first, and just as he sat down, he heard a rough voice: "The last general, Hu Dahai, pays homage to His Royal Highness the King of England!"

Zhu Hanxi smiled and waved his hands: "Get up, sit down and talk, and enjoy tea!"

Since Hu Dahai discovered America, he began to station troops there.

It's just that the Americas at the moment are truly barren lands, which are far from the Central Plains. Basically, there are no people. Although there are savages, in the eyes of the Ming garrison, these savages are really not human.

Therefore, there were a lot of complaints in the army, and several times there was almost a camp roar. If Hu Dahai hadn't handled it properly, the consequences would have been disastrous.

Hu Dahai reported the matter to Zhu Yuanzhang, and at Zhu Han's suggestion, Zhu Yuanzhang authorized the soldiers stationed in America to return to Daming every six months to change their defenses.

As the head coach, Hu Dahai had to take the fleet back to Daming in person every time he changed defense, rested for half a month, and brought new soldiers back to America again. It was quite difficult to come and go.

The maid served tea to Hu Dahai, and Hu Dahai finished thanking him with a cup of tea, and then said: "The final general will return to Yinzhou soon, what can your Highness say?"

Zhu Han nodded in satisfaction, and then said with emotion: "Hu Dahai, you have worked hard enough, this Daming and Yinzhou are running back and forth, or in a few years, find a young man to replace you , you will also be promoted in the capital and enjoy a few years of blessings."

When Hu Dahai heard this, he hurriedly put down the tea bowl, and waved his hands anxiously: "Don't, I just like to toss and turn on this sea, but please don't replace me."

Zhu Han was stunned: "This is really strange. I have seen those Yinzhou soldiers who came back from the defense. Every time they got off the ship, it was as if they had escaped from the sea of ​​suffering. I wish I would never set foot on the land of Yinzhou in my life. You are better." , but I can't wait to go back!"

Hu Dahai said proudly: "I have lived on the water since I was a child, but I can't sleep well on the ground. There are many ports in Yinzhou, and it is very convenient to go to sea. The general has long made up his mind to insert all the oceans in this world Fill my dragon flag of Ming Dynasty!"

"it is good!"

Zhu Han was overjoyed. To engage in great voyages, he needed someone like Hu Dahai who made the sea his home.

Hu Dahai spoke impassionedly before, but he smiled wryly at the end: "Furthermore, I don't know how many people I will offend if I mix with these high-ranking officials in the capital with such an undisturbed temperament. !"

Zhu Han waved his hand: "You want to be Huo Guanjun, a luxury figure like Ban Dingyuan, and those high-ranking officials are not as good as you!"

Hu Dahai's eyes turned red immediately, he clenched his hands into his fists and said with sobs: "I will be the last..."

"Hey, let's not talk about this. Do you know about the recent Dongshan College case?" Seeing that this man was emotional, Zhu Han hurriedly changed the subject and started talking about business.

As soon as Hu Dahai said this, he immediately got excited: "How can I not have heard of it? It is said that all the family members of criminal officials are exiled to Yinzhou, Your Highness, is it true?"

Zhu Yuanzhang's decree to exile criminal officials in Yinzhou has already been issued, how could Hu Dahai not know?

What he is worried about is how many people will be exiled, which has not been clearly stated in the imperial decree.

Yinzhou has a vast land and few people, so there are too few people, it is useless at all.

Therefore, the purpose of his coming here tonight is to find out about the King of England.

The current Holy Majesty loves this compatriot brother very much, and the King of England will know something about it.

Taking a step back, even if the emperor really sent too few people to Yinzhou, you can still invite His Highness the King of England to come to His Majesty the Emperor to intercede.

Looking at Hu Dahai's earnest eyes, Zhu Han smiled slightly, not appreciating his appetite: "This time, about 1 family members of the offenders will be exiled to Yinzhou!"

Hu Dahai was dumbfounded: "Ying...His Royal Highness, what did you say?"

At this moment, Hu Dahai's voice was trembling, he couldn't believe it.

You must know that the family members of prisoners are different from ordinary people, they are also literate at worst. Many family members of prisoners are either quite knowledgeable or quite resourceful, and the servants who accompanied them are also quite a few who are hidden dragons and crouching tigers...

In a word, the relatives of criminal officials are a treasure, and all frontier generals want them!
Normally speaking, among the 1 people, it would be considered good if Hu Dahai can get more than [-] people, but this obviously cannot satisfy Hu Dahai's appetite, nor can it satisfy the appetite of the entire Americas!

This is how tonight came to be, the black water chief guard waiting here for the King of England.

Looking at Hu Dahai's unbelievable expression, Zhu Han couldn't help laughing and cursing: "Whoever wants to joke with you, these 1 people belong to you!"

Speaking of this, Zhu Han's expression also became serious: "I tell you, these 1 people are all Confucian students, all of them are waiting for the sages to learn, and there is only one purpose for them to go overseas to Yinzhou, and that is to Educate the local aborigines!"

Speaking of this, Zhu Han also stood up from his seat, walked towards the door, and said with emotion: "Yinzhou is a precious land, but no matter how precious the land is, it needs people to develop it..."

"Although Yinzhou is now full of natives and is a barren land, the foundation is still very good! As for how to become Daming's Xanadu, it depends on how you use the 1 people!"

Hu Dahai's face was solemn, and he knelt down in front of Zhu Han respectfully: "His Royal Highness, just look at it, if you don't manage Yinzhou into the most prosperous state and county in Ming Dynasty, you will screw off my Hu Dahai's head. Kick the ball!"

……

Five days later, most of Heishui guarded Hu Dahai, led [-] soldiers, suppressed [-] family members of criminal officials, and headed for Ningbo...

A few days later, they finally boarded the Ningbo fleet and set sail.

Ying Tian, ​​Prince Ying's Mansion, Zhu Han stood on the attic of his mansion, looking towards Ningbo, muttering to himself: "Hu Dahai, don't let me down!"

……

On the ocean, a huge fleet is sailing alone on the sea.

In this fleet, except for [-] elite soldiers, the rest of the whole body is the family members of the prisoners.

Kong Mingde, the patriarch of Nankong, woke up from the cold.

He looked around, looking at the dark cabin, where people were crowded together, all kinds of pungent and unpleasant smells could not conceal the pungent and unpleasant smell and fishy smell of the sea.

He couldn't help tightening the ragged jacket on his body, and asked for his head with a wry smile.

Patriarch Nankong, who grew up in rich clothes and fine food, has ever suffered this crime?

This was his first time at sea, and also his first winter at sea.

In its impression, the sky in the south is always colder than in the north, but now it is the first time it knows that the sky at sea is much colder than on land.

Suddenly, a loud noise came.

"Eat! Eat!"

Immediately, I saw the sailors wearing them each carrying a bucket, and the inside of the bucket exuded a strong fishy smell.

Two palm-sized fish fell into his bowl like this!

This is the food on board, one meal a day, two cooked, fishy fish.

The family members of the prisoners on the ship ended with two lashes from the first day of swearing.

Those who come to the back would rather be hungry than eat...

Going to the back, when I saw this fish, I frantically stuffed it into my mouth...

This process is only three days.

Reality taught them quickly.

The family members of prisoners have no right to say nothing.

If you want to live, you must be patient and obedient.

Thinking of this, Kong Mingde picked up a fish and stuffed it into his mouth. He chewed it vigorously, without even spitting out the fishbone, chewed it all up, and swallowed it into his stomach!
He wants to live!

Even in the barbaric Yinzhou, the blood of the saint must be passed on, and the knowledge of the saint must be passed on!
While eating fish, Kong Mingde looked at several large wooden boxes behind him.

His Majesty is extra merciful, allowing the books of the prisoner's family members not to be confiscated!
As long as there are these scrolls, Kong Mingde has the confidence to keep the saint's fire overseas!
"Here we are! Get off the ship!"

The huge fleet, after sailing on the ocean for an unknown amount of time, finally arrived at its destination on this day.

1 people set foot on land slowly with apprehension and fear of the unknown.

There is a snow-capped land in front of you, and a towering mountain peak in the distance.

At this time, the American continent has already entered the cold winter.

When the family members of the criminals were exiled, in addition to a cotton coat and some rations to survive starvation, they also had some farm tools, at most more than ten spears, kitchen knives and the like.

So when we got off the boat and looked at the scene in front of us, many people were dumbfounded.

Let alone what to do in the future, how to get through this winter is their biggest headache now.

Finally someone couldn't help it anymore, walked towards the soldiers who escorted them here, and asked respectfully: "Masters, these rations and clothes are not enough in this icy and snowy place, please give us some more supplies."

The speaker was a scholar named Yan Xiangdong, who was also a student.

To say that Yan Xiangdong was unlucky.

He was originally a scholar during Emperor Shun's reign, and he was concentrating on preparing for the provincial examination, but the Dayuan was over!

It's over when it's over, anyway, the new dynasty is also going to conduct imperial examinations, so it's a big deal to prepare again.

As a result, the imperial examination system in the new dynasty was restructured, and the sage Confucius and Mencius were no longer tested!

Now Yan Xiangdong was dumbfounded. He had studied the Four Books and Five Classics all his life, but it was all in vain, and he had to start all over again.

But he has been in his 30s for a few years, and he is about to run into the fourth year. Can he learn to get in?
