Mixing ancient times with Taobao

Chapter 390

In the summer of 1652 AD, the eighth year of Longwu in the Ming Dynasty, and the ninth year in Shunzhi in the Qing Dynasty, two edicts on the emperor's wedding made the subjects fall into joy.

The emperor of Ming Dynasty has been on the throne for eight years, but he has not got married for a long time, and he has no favored maid, which makes the subjects worry.

The country has gone through catastrophe, and only by the emperor's encouragement can half of the country be preserved.If the Son of Heaven is ill and unable to conceive, does that mean that Daming is exhausted after all, and all this is just a flash in the pan?
Worry has been sinking in the hearts of the subjects.The emperor is 24 years old, and he has never been close to women at this age, which is obviously abnormal.

But if you want to say that the Son of Heaven is very masculine, no eunuch has been favored.The Son of Heaven devotes all his attention to government affairs, and I heard that he seldom entertains, and he has completely inherited the diligence of the late emperor.

Although this is a good thing, but at a young age, this woman does not love, and the man is not good. Could it be that there is some hidden disease?
Now that the edict is finally announced to the world, the subjects are relieved now.As long as the little prince is born, it means that the Great Ming is not exhausted, and it is the time of its peak.

It is said that although the married girl was born in a family of petty officials (the Ming Dynasty did not allow the daughters of powerful and high-ranking officials to enter the harem, but the daughters of minor officials and civilians were allowed), she is also quite famous in Suzhou.

Not to mention the excellent writing in small regular script with hairpin flowers, he also inherited the wisdom of his father who was an instructor. He is proficient in the Four Books and Five Classics, and he is familiar with the history and laws. The state of the painting shows the fragrance and beauty of flowers.

Most importantly, I heard that she was born extremely beautiful and dignified.There is even a legend that on the day she was born, all the peonies in her house were in full bloom, and a physiognomist said on that day: This is a sign of indescribable dignity, and in the future, she will wear a phoenix crown on her head and enjoy the glory.

Jiaoyu is happy, but scholars are always humble, and they will not be like vulgar villagers who call peony when they see peony. Doesn't it seem vulgar?Therefore, it was done in the opposite way, taking An Zhitinglan's humble and holy meaning, and named it Shan Zhixian.

Now that the edict is known to the world, it really fulfilled what was said back then, so there is no need to mention the joy of the Shan family.

The emperor is getting married, and the people of Ming Dynasty are happy.The past few years have been days that they dare not even think about. Even the old people said that when the times were good in the past, they never thought about the day when white rice could be eaten open.

Now I can eat white rice openly, thanks to two people.

One is the Son of Heaven, and the other is the female Bodhisattva from the Zuo family.

Now that the emperor is married, the emperor's family affairs are harmonious, which is the blessing of the subjects.

Of course, it would be great if the emperor could agree to the request of Marquis Anshun.That An Shunhou was not a thing before, but for the girl from the Zuo family he would rather be a bachelor than marry a wife, such affection is worth entrusting!
Of course, these little people can't take care of these things. They only know that there is a happy event in the Tian family, and the county government distributes a few wedding candies to eat, which is a happy thing.

Sugar is precious, but not so precious these days.Isn't the reason why you are happy because this is the emperor's wedding candy?Eat it to bless you for a long and safe life.

Zhu Cihong is about to get married, and the queen of Emperor Shunzhi in the north has also been selected.It has not been long since I entered the customs at this moment, so there are not as many red tapes as later.But because it was the first emperor's wedding after entering the customs, the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Ministry of Rites still put in a lot of effort.

Naturally, the candidate for the queen was not selected now. The candidate for the queen had been selected as early as when Dorgon was still alive.The relevant departments have also started to prepare for the wedding since then. They have been busy until now, and finally everything is done, and they are waiting for the emperor to speak to hold the wedding.

What only made the courtiers depressed was that the emperor seemed to be against the bride and had been delaying the marriage.

You know, in February, Wu Keshan, Prince of Horqin Zhuoliketu of Mongolia, personally sent his daughter to Beijing, waiting for the big wedding ceremony.But the emperor was lucky, he was always procrastinating, he seemed to be dissatisfied with the empress chosen for him by his uncle, the regent, and kept making excuses, just refusing to hold the wedding.

Right now Wu Keshan is moving around, I heard that he has gone to the Empress Dowager's place to cry a few times, the Empress Dowager wanted to order the emperor to hold a wedding, but something happened along the coast at this time.

Since March, a group of strange people have appeared out of nowhere, claiming to be from the country of Wa, and speaking the dialect of the country of Wa.Yes, but have you ever seen a Japanese man who is as big as a mountain and the whole ship is made of iron? !

It's like seeing a monkey wearing a dragon robe and dancing a sword. It's too scary, isn't it? !

Of course, these Japanese people did not come to pay tribute, they just came to rob people.They drove a large iron ship, followed by several large ships (flying shears) with strange shapes, and plundered along the coast.

And the fighting power is terrifying!Everyone holds a French stick that generates electricity and a steel hammer (baseball bat). When meeting a Han Chinese, they use the French stick to knock them down. Knocked out, not stealing or robbing, only kidnapping people, and kidnapping the whole family.

And they come and go like the wind, running faster than thieves, and they often run away before the government reacts.

Moreover, they follow the practice of shooting one shot for one place, and leave without delay.After staying for a while, inexplicably, the whole village disappeared.

They also went out to sea to pursue, even checked the nearby islands, and set up ambushes.But this group of Japanese seemed to have a thousand miles of ears. As long as they set up an ambush, they would immediately surround them and pull up a portable artillery (mortar) to bombard them.

A few times down, many people died, but there was no shadow of the other party.This way of fighting is not a problem, and there are many Han people stationed along the coast. They are full of people who are not good at water, so they can only hand over this important task to the Han people.

The Han people are the most cunning, how can they fight to the death?After suffering several losses, he no longer dared to go to sea, but only dared to shrink back in his nest and stare at the villages along the coast.

It's just that what makes these people wonder is that these people act very fast.They are still robbing people in the Haizhou (Lianyungang) area today, and they will appear in the Rizhao area of ​​Yizhou tomorrow.

By the time the people from Rizhao were dispatched, they would have snatched them away.After a few more days, he suddenly arrived in the Jiangbei area again.

Such a weird speed is really scary.What if they go north again?Landing directly in Tianjin, isn't that dangerous for Gyeonggi?

But the question is what are these people going to do? !
What are you doing to rob people? !At first Manchu was beaten to death and knocked unconscious, but as time passed, these people even robbed Manchu.

Moreover, there is no rule for them to rob people at all, as long as they are individuals, they will rob people, even the old and weak, women and children.Such sophisticated equipment and such weird actions made people think of the Zuo Family Army.But after a rumor spread in the Qing Dynasty, they denied this idea.

There is indeed a group of Dutch people entrenched on Dayuan Island, and the relationship between the Netherlands and the Japanese country is relatively good, and most Japanese people live on Dayuan Island.It is not incomprehensible to come to rob people because of the labor shortage in the Netherlands.

only……

Damn it!

Is it just a display when I am in the Qing Dynasty? !How dare you rob me of the people of the Qing Dynasty, and treat us as dead? !

Therefore, Shunzhi, who had just taken charge of the government, immediately used this excuse to postpone the wedding until August.

Right now is not the time for romance, someone is looting my people along the coast!
