The six-dimensional pictures of emperors of all dynasties were exposed, and the ancestors panicked

Chapter 594: Eliminating the Japanese Pirates and Zhu Wan's Death
【The struggle between Yan Song and Xu Jie plunged the Ming Dynasty into meaningless internal friction. 】

【The Ming Dynasty at that time seemed peaceful on the surface, but in reality, it was in a state of chaos, whether it was the northern border defense, internal civil rule, or the Japanese pirates in the southeast.】

【Every one of them is a problem.】

[The result of the two-party struggle is that these problems have not been actually solved. On the contrary, some meritorious officials have not had a good ending. ]

[Among them, the problem of Japanese pirates was the most serious.]

……

Three pictures stand side by side on the sky curtain.

On the left is an old minister who cries out in grief and indignation, and finally drinks the contents of the bottle.

On the right was a prison van moving slowly, but all around it were people shouting and weeping.

At the end, in the middle, there was a group of soldiers holding long shields and rattan shields, carrying arrows, holding long spears, and carrying swords on their waists.

They advanced slowly under a flag with the Chinese character "戚".

……

[In the second year of Hongwu, Japanese pirates began to invade. At that time, Japan was also in the period of division between the Northern and Southern Dynasties. The samurai who failed in the civil war, as well as some ronin and merchants, funded by some feudal princes and large temple owners, often went to the Chinese coast to plunder and harass with armed forces. They were called "Japanese pirates" in history. ]

[After the Zhengde period, the Portuguese also came. ]

[They imitated the Japanese pirates and plundered coastal areas such as Guangdong, Fujian, and Zhejiang. Wherever they went, they "slaughtered villages and towns, looted government treasuries, and kidnapped people."]

[The Fujian local chronicles record that these "Portuguese people" often "cooked babies for food" and were a group of cruel and brutal robbers.]

……

Ming Dynasty Yongle Period
"You bastard..."

Zhu Di narrowed his eyes.

"Prince, what do you have to say?"

Zhu Gaochi sighed helplessly as he looked at his father, whose name had even changed.

What the hell is this...

"My son thinks we can just sit back and wait."

"I will protect you..."

Zhu Di glanced at Empress Xu and swallowed the words in his mouth.

"What are you guarding? I'll be dead by then!"

Zhu Gaochi wiped the spit from his face and whispered:
"Dad, don't you know the exact route?"

"Zheng He's voyages to the West weren't in vain, were they?"

"The example of the Han envoys and the Mongolian envoys is right before our eyes."

Zhu Di suddenly stopped talking.

He patted Zhu Gaochi on the shoulder.

"Boss, if I had to, it would have to be you!"

"My heart is so dirty."

Well done!

Zhu Gaochi looked at the four words revealed in Zhu Di's eyes and felt helpless.

……

[In the second year of Jiajing (1523), the Portuguese signed a treaty with the lords of Kyushu, Japan. ]

[They used their powerful ships and guns to "pave the way" for the Japanese pirates to rob them. ]

[Whenever the Japanese pirates robbed, the Portuguese fleet would advance first. After the robbery was successful, a large number of Japanese pirates would swarm in and start burning and killing.]

[After the robbery, the two families "divided the spoils on the spot." ]

【At the same time, the Kyushu region of Japan, where the Portuguese were entrenched, overwhelmed the various Japanese pirate forces in other parts of Japan, and became the main source of Japanese pirates invading China since the Jiajing period. 】

……

Datang.

Li Shimin stood with his hands behind his back and looked at the sky.

"wild ambition……"

I treat others with sincerity, but you don't treat me with sincerity.

Li Chengqian heard what Li Shimin said and sighed:

"A barbaric land is not amenable to education."

"How can the great Tang Dynasty not understand the situation that is hanging by a thread in the face of the world?"

"There are countless people on the opposite side, waiting for our Tang Dynasty soldiers to rescue them!"

"Aye, you are the Khan of Heaven, how can you allow such an intolerable thing to happen in the world!"

Li Shimin looked at Li Chengqian strangely, who had a face full of compassion.

You kid, you're pretending to be you in front of your father...

"Okay, okay, got it."

Li Shimin waved his hand with disgust.

"But you have to eat one bite at a time and do things one step at a time."

He twirled his beard and looked at the sky, thinking:

"It's not safe to cross the sea, we still need a springboard..."

Little Li Zhi, who was squatting and playing in the mud, suddenly looked up, blinked, and shouted:

"Goryeo! It's a barbaric land that won't accept civilization."

"How can the great Tang Dynasty not understand the situation that is hanging by a thread in the face of the world?"

Li Shimin, who was thinking about something, was startled by the sudden shout.

He quickly covered his mouth with a slap.

"You kid... that's really not right."

Li Shimin let go of his hand, looked at little Li Zhi and sighed:

"Goryeo's origins are not small either."

Little Li Zhi scratched his head and said loudly again:
"Goryeo! It has been the land of China since ancient times!"

Li Shimin's head hurt from the noise and he covered his mouth again.

"I know, I know……"

"Let's train the water master first."

The emperor looked at the sky with a deep gaze. "There must be a reason."

"But it's better to win the war in one fell swoop."

……

[Twenty years after Jiajing, the court changed its orders every day, which led to political corruption and lax border defense. Some wealthy merchants and pirate merchants on the southeast coast, such as Wang Zhi and Xu Hai, colluded with Japanese pirates to plunder, causing the Japanese invasion to intensify, affecting the coastal areas and endangering the grain transport. The Ming court issued an alarm.]

[During this critical period, the Right Vice-Chief Censor Zhu Wan was appointed as the Governor-General of Fujian and Zhejiang to fight against the Japanese pirates.]

……

On the canopy.

Turn your attention to the first picture.

The grief-stricken minister changed into a resolute and courageous look.

He looked at the wealthy gentry below and shouted:

"Anyone who has contact with the aborigines, regardless of whether they are officials or civilians!"

"All shall be punished by death!"

Everyone below looked stern.

Then they looked at each other secretly.

……

[Zhu Wan, courtesy name Zichun, was from Wuxian, Suzhou. He once served as the deputy military envoy in Sichuan, suppressing the rebellion of the local chieftains. He also served as the governor of Guangdong.]

[He was loyal, outspoken, and upright. He was also very strategic and courageous in his military campaigns. He was a famous "capable minister" during the Jiajing reign.]

[After arriving in Zhejiang, he immediately took tough measures to arrest more than 80 local merchants who were related to the Japanese pirates.]

【April 1548, the th year of Jiajing ().】

[Zhu Wan launched a general attack on Shuangyu Island, the headquarters of the Japanese pirates. He sent the navy to first blockade the north and south ports of Shuangyu Island, and then bombarded it with heavy artillery, covering Shuangyu Island in a sea of ​​fire.]

[In the early morning of April 8, hundreds of small boats of the Ming army landed on the beach under the cover of artillery fire.]

[After two days of hard fighting, they captured the Portuguese fortress on the island and seized a large amount of weapons and supplies.]

[Most of the "pirates" occupying this island were wiped out in one fell swoop in this battle. ]

……

{Fact: It was also during this battle that the Ming army seized the Portuguese firearms. After being improved, they were widely used by the Ming infantry, which became the "soldier's bird gun" commonly used in the middle and late Ming Dynasty.}
……

Ming Dynasty Jiajing Period
Zhu Houcong didn’t care about the musket now, he just looked at the minister in the sky.

His face was heavy.

……

[After the Battle of Shuangyu Island, Zhu Wan pursued the victory and defeated the Portuguese pirate gang in Zhangzhou, beheading more than 100 people.]

[At the same time, taking advantage of the remaining momentum of the war against bandits, they launched a "cleansing policy" in Fujian and Zhejiang.]

[He asked the captured Portuguese to identify anyone who had any connection with the pirates, regardless of whether they were officials or civilians, and severely punished them.]

[In Zhangzhou alone, 95 coastal “Japanese” bandits were beheaded at one time based on the confessions of Portuguese captives.]

……

On the canopy.

Zhu Houcong, dressed in a wide robe and a big belt, sat cross-legged with his eyes slightly closed.

On the desk in front of him were piles of yellow silk documents.

The emperor slowly opened his eyes.

Reach out and pick up the red pen.

The scene changes.

The minister looked up to the sky and said in anger:
"I am too poor to go to court!"

"Even if Your Majesty doesn't kill me, the people of Fujian and Zhejiang will definitely kill me!"

"Your Majesty! I will be loyal to you!"

Then drink up the contents of the bottle!

After a while, his body became hunched over and he died with blood gushing out of all his orifices.

……

[Shuangyu Island itself is closely connected with the wealthy and powerful families in Fujian and Zhejiang. ]

[Zhu Wan's action was to protect his country, but after the incident, officials from Fujian and Zhejiang in Beijing impeached Zhu Wan for killing people without authorization.]

【Amid the overwhelming public outcry, Zhu Houcong issued an imperial edict to reprimand Zhu Wan, ordering him to "take off his post and wait for further orders" and ordering Du Ruzhen, the military official, to investigate and interrogate him.】

[Zhu Wan was a strong-willed man who did not want to be wrongly accused. He wrote an epitaph for himself, composed a suicide note, and drank poison to die at the age of 57.]

[After returning from Fujian and Zhejiang, the Imperial Censor Du Ruzhen and the Imperial Censor Chen Zongkui said that the traitors were peddlers and resisted arrest, and that the robbery was completely unfounded. They wanted to punish Zhu Wan for the crime of arbitrary killing.]

【Zhu Houcong issued an imperial decree to arrest Zhu Wan. Since Zhu Wan was already dead, he also sentenced Dusi Lu Tong and Deputy Envoy Ke Qiao to death.】

[These two were the main generals in the Battle of Shuangyu Island. ]

【After Zhu Wan was killed for resisting the Japanese invaders, the Japanese invasion became increasingly rampant.】

……

On the canopy.

The second picture moves slowly.

The prisoner in the prison car turned into a minister in a red robe.

Behind him stood a row of elite soldiers.

Everyone looked at the bandits in front of them and drew their swords to fight them.

……

In the 1554nd year of Jiajing (), the imperial court sent Zhang Jing, the Minister of War in Nanjing, to serve as the Governor-General of Jiangnan, Jiangbei, Zhejiang, Shandong, Fujian, and Huguang, the Right Censor-in-Chief, and the Right Vice Minister of the Ministry of War.

【Specially responsible for the overall military affairs of suppressing bandits. 】

……

Ming dynasty.

"enough!"

Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't bear it any longer.

"You will not have a good end, you will dig your own grave!"

"There is no sun!"
