I am the king of the dead

Li Yimin walked out of the cabin again and saw the familiar coastline, full of doubts, he felt very familiar, just like when he left.

Li Yimin, who is not very experienced in sailing, did not finally confirm that he was brought back until he saw the mouth of the Red River.

"Turn around! I order you to turn around!" Li Yimin yelled hysterically. The boatmen in the cabin all looked at Li Yimin with mocking smiles. This guy has been arrested for two days, but he didn't react. The boat has been changed. master.

Yuan Bin held down Li Yimin who was mad, shook his head vigorously, and said loudly: "You see clearly who I am! Can you see clearly?!"

Only then did Li Yimin squeeze his eyes hard, and finally saw who the person in front of him was!
Da Ming's envoy Yuan Bin Yuan who lives in Taiwei's Mansion is the most brave and courageous person in Da Ming, and standing next to Yuan Bin is another envoy of Da Ming, Li Binyan.

Of course it was Tang Xing's pseudonym, until the end of Liu Pu's life, he still didn't know that it was Tang Xing, the freest man in the world.

Li Yimin was firmly tied up by the Tiqis with Tiqi's unique binding technique, and then his own socks were stuffed into his mouth, which stopped Li Yimin's impotent rage.

"What are you doing?" Yuan Bin saw Tang Xing directing a few boatmen to deliver something into the sea after he finished his work.

"The inscription on it says that this place is the territory of the Ming Dynasty, and Jingtai stayed there for nine years." Tang Xing said with a smile, "Peng Sui threw this kind of thing into the sea everywhere, and erected an inscription at the mouth of the Honghe River. "

"What about this one?" Yuan Bin asked, pointing to another pot.

Tang Xing picked up the clay pot and said: "Your Majesty asked me to get it. There are various amounts of gold in these pots. These pots are His Majesty's private property. They will sink into the sea along with the stele for future treasure hunting."

"Your Majesty originally planned to ask me to make a strange story about the 'Emperor's Treasure Pot', but after thinking about it later, it was not quite right. Your Majesty is still thrifty. As we all know, how much can this treasure hide?"

"So, I changed the name to Governor Li's Treasure Jar. Anyway, in the eyes of many people, isn't Li Binyan a big corrupt official?"

"Ah? This..." Yuan Bin scratched his head and could only say it was interesting.

Yuan Bin can probably guess the reason why His Majesty did this. It is nothing more than to encourage commerce and trade, to set up a visible and tangible goal overseas, so that everyone can have more talk when they go out to sea trade, and also One more motivation.

Governor Li's treasure pot and the drifting duck have the same nature.

In order to open the sea, His Majesty really did everything possible.

Yuan Bin and Tang Xing captured Li Yimin, put him in a prison car, and escorted him back to Shenglong City. At this time, Li Sicheng's special envoy from Tsinghua, Ding Lie, former Minister of Rites of Annan Kingdom, was also in Shenglong City.

Under the arrangement of Chen Mao and Yu Qian, Ding Lie met Li Yimin and verified his identity.

Chen Mao said to Ding Lie: "Man, we have captured them back. When will you be naturalized?"

"Let me remind you that this is our first negotiation. If you have contact with Daming's rich merchants in Annan, you should know that the first negotiation is the most lucrative."

Surrender is too ugly, Chen Mao used a word of naturalization, if Li Sicheng is willing to naturalize, it will be a happy situation for everyone.

Without any hesitation, Ding Lie pointed at Li Yimin through gritted teeth and said, "When Li Yimin dies, the Qinghua Army will be naturalized!"

For Ding Lie and most Annan people, it was Li Yimin and the carnivores headed by Li Yimin who brought Annan suffering. If Li Yimin is not dead, those carnivores around Li Yimin will not be punished as they should.

Chen Mao nodded and said: "Very well, as the original ruler of Annan, Li Yimin also needs His Majesty's Zhu Zhu to behead him before showing it to the public. Please also ask the envoy to stay for a few days and wait for His Majesty's decree to Shenglong City."

Fan Wenqiao, former Secretary of the Ministry of Criminal Affairs of Annan, said full of doubts: "In the Ming Dynasty's proclamation, the [-] crimes committed by the tyrant Li Yimin have been clearly counted, and the evidence for each of them is conclusive, and even more than that. , caught and killed, why wait for His Majesty's edict?"

Fan Wenqiao has always been very interested in Daming's criminal law, and whenever he has the opportunity, he will ask for advice on Daming's criminal law. He has greatly improved Daming's criminal law, and he can only say that a civilized country has its own reasons for doing things.

Fan Wenqiao thought that she would be killed if caught, but she didn't expect to go through the process. Daming's twenty crimes obviously overestimated Li Yimin's morality.

Yu Qian pondered for a while before saying: "Annan, the county of Daming County, Annan is a land of four directions. Li Yimin is a tyrannical chieftain, so naturally he must adapt to the laws of Daming. The death penalty is repeated three times, and the rules cannot be broken."

"Although all the laws in the world are different, if you put your heart into it, there is one. All laws belong to the same family, and all of them want the people to be innocent. Punishment means clarifying justice. If justice must be clear, the people will not commit crimes. Therefore, although there is a prison for killing, there is no crime. The condemned people."

"There are thousands of laws in the world, and the core of the law is to prevent the people from breaking the law. This is called prudent punishment in the name of judicial punishment. What prudent punishment needs to do is to clarify righteousness. If everyone knows the righteousness, they will naturally not commit crimes." , although there are still people who commit crimes, but there are no people who are trapped by punishment and law."

The core of the Triad of Death Penalty is prudent punishment, which can be summed up as follows: rule the world with leniency and benevolence, and be cautious in criminal law.

But prudent punishment needs to be clear, and how to be clear requires enlightenment.

But Yu Qian did not talk about how to educate, and enlightenment requires a material foundation.

If the people are struggling to make ends meet, it is useless to formulate laws as strict and detailed as Qin's laws, which even deal with housework.

On the contrary, if the common people know the etiquette when they have enough food and clothing, and know the honor and disgrace if they have enough food and clothing, then the laws formulated by the guiding ideology of prudent punishment are punishing those who are killed in the upper prison, not most of the common people.

The law is only the bottom line, and morality is the pursuit.

"Thanks to Yu Shaobao for his teaching." Even so, Fan Wenqiao still understood the meaning of careful punishment, and thanked him happily.

Yu Qian waved his hand and said, "It's okay."

Soon, detailed naturalization conditions have been listed.

After the naturalization, the Qinghua army must be completely disarmed, the horses should be released to Nanshan, and they should be disarmed and returned to the fields;

As another king of Annan, Li Sicheng went to Tianjin Wei, and was neighbors with the Ryukyu king Shang Taijiu and Tatar Khan Tuotuobuhua. Like Shang Taijiu and Tuotuobuhua, he had the right to directly admonish him;
Annan, the prefecture of Daming, was changed to Jiaozhi, which treated everyone equally, and prefectures and counties were established for jurisdiction, and the system was the same as that of Daming.

The details of the naturalization are still being negotiated, but are progressing steadily.

Zhu Qiyu received the sword body from Jiaozhi, and Xing'an combined the hilt and the sword body together. This is a very ordinary iron sword. In terms of quality, it is not as easy to use as Daming's Xiuchun Dao.

But it was such a Shuntian sword that turned Jiaozhi into An Nanguo during the Xuande period.

"Liu Pu is dead." Zhu Qiyu looked at the memorabilia in his hand and said calmly: "I am not a person without faith. After returning to Liu Pu's overseas marquis, Liu Pu's heirs are still not allowed to enter the Ming Dynasty. Let the Ministry of Rites give him a posthumous posthumous title."

Liu Pu chose to keep his promise and end the matter with death to thank Tian En, so naturally Zhu Qiyu would not break his promise.

"After all, you are a smart man who chose the most suitable opportunity." Zhu Qiyu nodded and said: "I am still here, and his Liu Pu's heirs are not allowed to enter the Ming Dynasty, but Jiaozhi will be able to enjoy long-term stability in the future. The fact that Liu Pu died in a bloody battle for the country and that Liu Pu died for Annan in the prefecture and county will allow Liu Pu's descendants to return to Ming Dynasty."

"Go back, just go back."

Zhu Qiyu didn't get too entangled in this matter, but picked up a piece of Korean tribute paper and said, "Li Yimin must die."

Liu Pu's death was beyond Zhu Qiyu's expectations, and Li Yimin's cruelty was also beyond his expectations. It is a skill to be able to toss Annan to this extent, but if Li Yimin didn't make such a toss, Annan, the prefecture and county of the Ming Dynasty, might have to Out of season.

In Annan, Daming County, Li Yimin should be credited with a merit, and Zhu Qiyu personally handwritten the letter to death, Li Yimin should be grateful, just like a scum like Li Yimin, Zhu Qiyu intends to send him to Jiejieyuan to see if such a shameless person is structurally compatible Ordinary people are different.

Due to the naturalization issue of the Qinghua Army and Zhu Qiyu's fear of Li Sicheng, Li Yimin was finally taken advantage of and let him die.

After Zhu Qiyu finished writing the death-giving edict, he handed it to Xing'an after the seal, and then he picked up a piece of Koryo tribute paper and issued a series of orders.

After Qinghua was completely disarmed and Li Sicheng crossed the sea to Guangzhou, the Yunnan-Guizhou Guards withdrew from Mengzi in an orderly manner;
And Chen Mao, the Marquis of Ningyang, became the Duke of Junguo, and led half of the guards from Guangdong and Guangxi to guard Annan, and the Duke of Junguo's mansion was stationed in Jiaozhi forever;
Zhu Yi restored the Duke of Chengguo, Shi Biao became the Duke of Dingyuan because of his meritorious service, and together with the British Duke Zhang Mao and Wen'an Hou Yuqian led the Beijing camp and navy back to Ming Dynasty;
The affairs of various prefectures and counties prepared by the Ministry of Officials of the Ming Dynasty went to Jiaozhi to serve;

According to the system, cochin lessons are exempted from taxation for three years to breed population and other government orders.

Zhu Qiyu also approved the list of extraordinary merit cards and top merit cards submitted by the Ministry of War, and rewarded the three armies.

After finishing these, Zhu Qiyu leaned on the back of the chair, staring at the piece of Korean tribute paper in front of him in a daze.

"Is Your Majesty tired? Do you want Concubine Ran Ning to come over and broaden His Majesty's shoulders?" Xing'an looked at His Majesty's dignified expression and asked.

Zhu Qiyu shook his head and said: "No, I'll go to the workshop later, and then go to her place at night. I'm just thinking about whether to give Yu Shaobao the title of Duke."

Yu Qian is now the Marquis of Wen'an. This time in Annan County, Chen Mao made the first contribution in military affairs, and Yu Qian made the first contribution in military affairs. They complement each other, and Annan County, the county, went so smoothly.

It's unreasonable for Yu Qian to stay where he is when Chen Mao enters the ranks.

Xing'an had a lot to say, but he didn't say a single word.

Yu Qian has the merit of Conglong, the first merit of the battle of the capital, the merit of regaining the governor of Jining Hetao, the merit of the emperor's personal conquest and suppression of the rebellion, and the merit of stabilizing the country, and now he has the merit of Annan in the county. .

If Yu Qian is just a simple hereditary military honor of the Ming Dynasty, this is a logical matter, and Zhu Qiyu doesn't need to hesitate.

But Yu Qian is the head of all the officials, the Great Ming Shaobao, and the actual prime minister is Zhu Qiyu's right-hand man, the minister of the humerus. With this status, Zhu Qiyu gave Yu Qian the title of Duke, which is to force Yu Qian to become an official.

"Is Yu Mian forty this year?" Zhu Qiyu suddenly asked, Yu Mian is Yu Qian's son, why is there no seal or reward, there is no way to reward Lao Tzu, can't he reward his son?
Xing'an took out his heavy memo and rummaged through it, saying: "Yu Mian just turned [-] this year."

Zhu Qiyu nodded and said, "I heard that he has six daughters and no son, right?"

"Yes." Xing'an bowed his head and said.

Zhu Qiyu thought for a while and said: "You can still have children at the age of 40. The Ministry of Rites ordered Yu Mian to take concubines and have children, and choose a few good ones. The Marquis of Wen'an in Ming Dynasty can't succeed anyone, right?"

"Minister obeys the order." The stone in Xing'an's heart fell to the ground. This reward is a good thing, and Annan, the county, is also a good thing. Don't make a bad thing because of two good things, and end up with a lot of feathers.

Zhu Qiyu went to the workshop. The double-acting piston steam engine in front of him had entered the last moment of attack, and the problem of air tightness had been solved.

Now comes the stage of increasing the duration of continuous use and improving the service life.

"If the previous single-acting piston steam engine was a baby, it is now five years old." Zhu Qiyu signaled to light the boiler.

The previous single-acting piston steam engine can only be used luxuriously unless there is a mine at home, and the price of coal is much lower than the cost of labor. Then the double-acting piston steam engine in front of it can already be used initially.

The steam enters the slide valve distribution device along the pipeline under the speed regulation of the flying ball centrifugal governor. The amount of steam is obviously not enough, and the double-acting piston reciprocates reluctantly in the cylinder, and the connecting rod Drive the flywheel to rotate slowly.

Zhu Qiyu grabbed the flywheel with his hand and shook it vigorously. The flywheel rotated rapidly, and the crankshaft drove the flying ball to rotate. The flying ball rotated, and the butterfly valve of the governor rotated slowly to regulate the steam.

How to improve the use time is mainly the working accuracy of the flying ball governor.

The more stable the output of the steam engine, the longer it is used and the longer its life.

The double-acting piston steam engine began to scream, and the steam spewed out again and again, the speed of the flywheel became faster and faster, and the vibration of the cylinder began to vibrate with the vibration of the piston.

This is a resonance that can damage the airtightness of the piston and cylinder.

Zhu Qiyu took out a magnet and put it into the slot preset on the cylinder. The vibration of the cylinder immediately became much smaller. As the speed of the flywheel became higher and higher, the cylinder began to vibrate violently again. Zhu Qiyu took out another magnet. Installed on the card slot, the vibration is immediately reduced.

The vibration of the cylinder will also damage the service life and life of the steam engine, and this ferromagnetic resonance elimination technology was discovered by craftsmen by accident, which greatly increased the service life of the cylinder.

Zhu Qiyu took off the magnet, and the vibration began to recover, and then put it on again, and the vibration disappeared.

"Interesting." Zhu Qiyu had a great time playing.

For this double-action piston steam engine, he has been busy for three months. More than [-] craftsmen cooperated, and dozens of official factories were busy day and night to meet his needs, and finally made the one in front of him. It is a huge monster about six feet high, seven feet wide, and one foot long.

The steam roared and spewed out quickly, and the whistling of the flywheel rotated rapidly, all of which made people feel relaxed and happy. He looked at the craftsmen who kept adding coal, and said with a smile: "More is beautiful! Big is better!"

"This thing, the more the better."
