I am the king of the dead

Yuan Bin brought Li Yimin to the execution ground. At this time, Li Yimin was disheveled. It was obvious that the days were not going well, and he staggered step by step onto the execution ground.

Death is not terrible, what is terrible is the time waiting for death.

When Li Yimin saw that the gleaming guillotine was out of the circle of light under the sunlight, he showed a relieved smile.

Finally dying.

Li Yimin grinned, and shouted angrily at the group of Ming bureaucrats standing on the execution platform: "The Emperor of Ming turned his back on what he said, and he will die!"

"The way I die today will be his appearance tomorrow! The situation in Annan today will be the situation in Ming Dynasty tomorrow!"

"Hahahaha!" Li Yimin shouted up to the sky.

Yuan Bin watched Li Yimin go mad without saying a word. This was the last fate of this hopeless King Annan. He could kill Li Yimin with one punch, but he didn't do that. Instead, he pinned him under the guillotine.

The guillotine is carefully designed, the person's head is stuffed under the guillotine, and the shackles are closed, no matter how hard the prisoner struggles, he cannot break free.

On the other side, the guillotine has been pulled up, waiting for the eunuch Li Yongchang to read the imperial decree, and then let go of the rope.

"Commander Yuan! Do you think people know they are dead after their heads hit the ground?" Li Yimin suddenly shouted loudly.

Yuan Bin said very confidently: "I know, after death, you can blink your eyes about 24 times, and you can see your own body and spurt blood from your neck."

The Jiejue Court has done research on whether a person whose head has been beheaded is still conscious when he is dying. Lu Zicai was sentenced by the Jiejue Court to make an appointment with a beheading criminal to blink if he is conscious, a total of 24 times.

Lu Zicai agreed to the other party, and sewed up the body for burial after death, instead of ending up with a decapitated body.

A brave person like Yuan Bin, every time he hears all kinds of rumors about the Xie Jie Yuan, his hands and feet feel cold. The doctors in the Jie Jie Yuan obviously saved lives and healed the wounded, but this extreme rationality made Yuan Bin shudder.

After Liu Pu committed suicide by taking poison, Liu Pu's son beheaded Liu Pu's head and offered it to the army. sewn together.

"The people of Daming are indeed evil ghosts who crawled out of the eighteenth floor of hell. They even know this!" The corners of Li Yimin's mouth twitched twice. But know very well.

Yuan Bin sneered, and asked back: "If we are evil spirits, what are you? You are so cruel, aren't you afraid of being torn to pieces on the road to Huangquan?"

"Da Ming wants to thank you. It's not because of your innocence. If Da Ming wants Wang Hua Annan, he will have to wait for a long time."

Li Yimin finally showed fear, his face was pale, and he said firmly: "You will die one day! You will die too!"

Fear comes from the unknown, and Li Yimin is about to go to that unknown world, and in that unknown world, there are countless innocent souls waiting for him.

Yuan Bin immediately said, "But it's definitely not an execution ground."

Even if Li Yimin was about to die, Yuan Bin was not polite at all, and he poked at Li Yimin's lung tube without the slightest awareness that the dead are the greatest.

Yu Qian looked at Li Yimin on the stage and remained silent.

Before Li Yimin killed his second brother and Ruan Thiying came to power, there were a total of 500 million people in Annan. This is an approximate figure, not counting the hermits and the people who went to the mountains.

However, during the three months in Annan, what Yu Qian saw was not only corpses but also corpses. It is estimated that there are still 900 million people in Annan who have to burn incense sticks in temples.

A place where there is obviously no shortage of food, but there are hungry people everywhere and bandits everywhere.

After Li Yongchang finished reading the imperial decree, Chen Mao picked up the sign on the table and threw it on the ground, saying loudly: "Execution!"

The executioner let go of the rope, and the guillotine fell like flying. Li Yimin's head fell in response, rolled a few times, and fell to the stage.

Li Yimin, who only had one head, blinked vigorously, and then a wild dog sprang out from nowhere, and took Li Yimin's head away.

After Li Yimin, nearly a thousand people were beheaded.

This is the condition Li Sicheng put forward, Li Yimin must die, because only Li Yimin dies, those powerful rightists and lackeys around Li Yimin can get a real trial and pay the price for their crimes.

Li Yimin's first lackey, the Mo family, was punished by the Ming army.

Li Sicheng kept holding on to the armrest of the grand teacher's chair, gritted his teeth, and watched without saying a word as heads fell to the ground one by one, and the entire execution ground flowed like rivers of blood.

A painter from the Daming Palace kept sketching this scene on the drawing paper. Li Yimin's head was taken away by a wild dog, the common people raised their arms and shouted, blood flowed profusely on the execution ground, and the prison officers were sitting in danger, etc. Outlines appear in the hands of the painter.

This scene seems cruel, but it is the greatest kindness and justice, the justice of punishing people and punishing crimes.

When everyone's heads fell to the ground, the sound of fireworks and firecrackers suddenly sounded in Shenglong City not far away. The guarded Ming army thought it was a gunshot, and their faces were extremely nervous. Knowing that the people of Shenglong City are celebrating the New Year.

It is a custom to light fireworks and firecrackers during the New Year, and Thang Long City naturally has such a custom. There are even lion dances on the streets, and lanterns and festoons in the city. But for Thang Long City, and for the people of Annan, today is really the New Year.

Among the beheaded Thang Long people, some were laughing wildly, some were frowning, and some were weeping. Life was different, and most of the people were ecstatic.

"Since Your Majesty decreed to behead Li Yimin, you keep your word. Guangnan Kingdom and Qinghua seven prefectures are naturalized to Daming today. I hope Daming can... treat Annan kindly." Li Sicheng's tense body finally relaxed as the fireworks rose all over the sky. .

Yu Qian stood up and said with a smile: "From tomorrow onwards, there will be no Annan, only Jiaozhi."

Li Sicheng looked at the cheering people and said forcefully: "I hope so, from now on, there will be no Annan."

For Annan, becoming a Daming person from now on seems to be a good choice. After all, leaning against a big tree is good for enjoying the shade. Of course, the premise is that this tree is enough to shade the sun.

Li Sicheng took out his seal and ribbon of King Annan, and pressed it on the alliance letter.

Under Yuan Bin's command, the Tiqis checked the list of the dead one by one, and even Li Yimin's head, which had been gnawed to only half, was found by the Tiqis.

The Tiqis must ensure that His Majesty's will is carried out most thoroughly, even if their heads fall to the ground, they must confirm that they are completely dead, and conduct a final verification to verify their integrity.

Yuan Bin was busy until sunset before returning to Taiwei's Mansion, which was changing the number of cards.

Liu Pu's son, Liu Chengqing, wanted to move out of the Taiwei's Mansion, and Yuan Bin received an imperial edict. The Taiwei's Mansion was changed to Anyuan Hou's Mansion, and Liu Chengqing was still left as the Overseas Marquis Mansion.

After Annan in the county, there is no Annan, only Jiaozhi, which became the four places of Ming Dynasty. Logically speaking, this Liu Chengqing is obviously an overseas marquis, so he is not allowed to enter Ming Dynasty. Liu Chengqing's family should move to the land of Liuhe and Bahuang.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year in the tenth year of Jingtai, Annan changed its name to Jiaozhi.

So Liu Chengqing's Marquis Mansion was indeed and clearly built in the land of Liuhe overseas, it was not that Liu Chengqing did not follow the emperor's order to return to Ming Dynasty, but that Daming came to Anyuan Marquis Mansion.

This is Liu Pu knowing the destiny, doing his best to do things for Daming, and dying in exchange for the emperor's kindness.

Yuan Bin and Tang Xing were going to return to Guangzhou Mansion in a few days, so they harassed them for a few more days and did not move.

"You are..." Yuan Bin looked at the woman next to Tang Xing, and shook his head. This bohemian Tang Xing hooked up with another woman after finishing his business.

Obviously, a man like Tang Xing really went and sowed seeds wherever he went, but after thinking about it for a while, Yuan Bin felt relieved, maybe who hooked up with whom.

Tang Xing spread his hands and said, "You are noble, you are amazing! That Zheng's daughter gave it away as soon as she said she would give it away. Aren't I being pestered and helpless?"

Yuan Bin could only shake his head when he saw the beautiful woman's willing face. After all, it was Tang Xing's private matter.

"I heard a rumor today, do you want to hear it?" Tang Xing said mysteriously.

Yuan Bin was stunned and said curiously: "Oh? Let's hear it."

Tang Xing said in a low voice: "The boss Li Yimin is not a thing, but the fourth brother Li Sicheng, tsk tsk, it is said that when Duke Jun invited Li Sicheng to be imprisoned in the city of Shenglong, envoys from all the southern countries sent to Qing Dynasty Huafu."

"Huh? What do they want?" Yuan Bin frowned, realizing that things were not simple.

Tang Xing sat up straight and shook his head repeatedly, saying, "Siam, Chenla, Laos, Burma, and Boni, these people naturally don't want to see Daming sailing thousands of miles in the Wanli Haitang, showing off his might, if even Annan loses Now, these people have nothing to resist."

"Either the fourth brother is a character. This group of people went to Tsinghua Mansion to participate in the grand event. Even Ding Lie was trying to persuade the fourth brother. The fourth only said a word, and then set off for Shenglong City."

"The fourth son said: The battle was fought in Annan."

Everyone in Annan thinks that the fourth is a person, Liu Pu, Tang Xing, and Yuan Bin also think that the fourth is a person, even Chen Mao and Yu Qian also think that the fourth is a person, and His Majesty also thinks that the fourth is a person.

This fourth child is really a character. He is very clear that the battle was fought in Annan, and if the fight continues, no matter whether he wins or loses, Annan will lose all his body.

Daming and Annan have the same culture, the same race, the same origin, and even the third-class Yue people, most of them are expatriates from the Qin, Han, Wei, Jin, Sui and Tang Dynasties.
"How do you know?" Yuan Bin asked full of doubts.

Tang Xing looked at the woman beside him, and said with a smile, "This is Ding Lie's daughter."

Yuan Bin laughed, shook his head, and continued writing the Tang newspaper.

At this time, Chen Mao and Yu Qian, looking at the map of Jiaozhi in front of them, kept making gestures and strokes.

"Li Yimin's death is to suppress bandits and beasts, and persuade the people to go down the mountain and get out of the forest." Looking at the dense forests and hilltops on the Kanyu map, Chen Mao can only feel that Li Yimin has really committed countless crimes.

Chen Mao has accumulated a wealth of experience in local governance in Fujian. He knows that the most urgent task now is to stabilize the people's livelihood. First of all, he must clean up the bandits and kill the beasts. You must know that the entire territory of Jiaozhi at this time, even in Shenglong City, can See the crocodile baring its teeth.

Persuading the people to go down the mountain is a meticulous job, and for Chen Mao, this is not a difficult task.

In summary, they are Antu herdsmen.

Yu Qian hesitated and said: "Duke Jun, Your Majesty let Duke Jun stay in Jiaozhi, it is really helpless. If the British Duke stayed in Jiaozhi back then, there would not be so many things."

Yunnan has the Guizhou government, so no matter how Luchuan repeats, Yunnan is the territory of the Ming Dynasty.

Keeping Junguo's mansion in Jiaozhi is His Majesty's consideration for Annan's long-term stability.

This is not fair to Duke Jun's mansion, where people's toes are intertwined, naturally there is no Daming Shuntian Mansion and Nanya Fushuo, here is to guard the border for Daming.

You must know that if the honored soldiers of the Daming Lecture Hall want to lead the army, if they fail the exam in the first year, they will be guarded at the Kaiping Guard, and if they fail the exam, they will be guarded at the Jiaozhi Sanwei.

This is tantamount to exile.

"Take care of the king's world affairs, and win the fame before and after his life." Chen Mao said with a smile: "It's also very good to guard the border, and Jiaozhi is unique. There are probably three Zhejiang provinces, and the population is roughly the same as Zhejiang, so it's not a barren land. "

Cochin has three crops a year, it is indeed a unique natural environment, and it is also considered to be sparsely populated, three times the area of ​​Zhejiang, and the number of people is roughly the same as that of Zhejiang. It is not a barren land, rest and develop for a few years, Cochin will not too bad.

Yu Qian swiped his hand on the Kanyu map and said: "If you fight against the outside world, you must first settle the inside. After the interior of the [-]th Jiaozhi Mansion is stabilized, you must expand westward to solve the repeated problems in Luchuan in one fell swoop."

If you want to stabilize the southwestern direction of Ming Dynasty, you must rely on Annan County, which is the cornerstone of all stability. Then go south from Yunnan and Guizhou, and go west from Jiaozhi, only then can it be possible to completely stabilize Luchuan.

If Luchuan is stable, the seedlings in Yunnan, Guizhou, Sichuan and Guizhou will not be instigated to make trouble.

The purpose of Annan in Daming County is also the intention of pacifying Luchuan and the uprisings in Yunnan, Guizhou, Sichuan and Guizhou. Taking down Annan is the beginning of Daming's expansion of territory, not the end.

Chen Mao looked at the mountains and forests and said helplessly: "These trees are their best camouflage. It is difficult to enter Lunan."

Yu Qian took out an inscription book, and said solemnly: "This matter is not difficult. Lunan, Laos, Myanmar, Siam, Chenla and other places are rich in teak, and teak is the best wood for shipbuilding. Right now, the demand for it in Ming Dynasty is extremely high. They only need to buy teak wood in large quantities, and they will cut down all the trees themselves, and Lunan will have no dense forests to rely on."

This was all a rough plan before Annan County, and it was also part of the political, economic, and cultural victories of Ming Dynasty.

"How could they be willing to destroy the Great Wall because they are covered by dense forests? Isn't this letting them kill themselves?" Chen Mao asked with a frown after reading the inscription.

Didn't these Luchuan small country propaganda and consolation divisions dare to make trouble because of the dense forests and the inconvenience of the Ming army's marching?

I killed myself, logically, it is indeed a paradox, but it seems to be the case all over the world.
