I am the king of the dead

Chapter 814 The sorrows and joys of human beings are not the same, I just feel that I deserve it
Jingtai ten years, September, Dou Zhiwu, cold dew.

Hanlu is the No.24 solar term among the 17 solar terms, and it is also the fifth season of autumn, which is the season of late autumn.

The southern Yamen has entered late autumn, while the northern Yaya has entered the cold winter. Even the red maple trees in the mountains and plains in the west have withered. The cold wind from the northwest has blown the Siberian cold throughout the entire capital, making Chaoyangmen even more desolate.

Today is the day when the students of the Imperial College of the Ming Dynasty are exiled overseas. When they leave the Chaoyang Gate, they will be escorted to the Shibo Department and sent to various places of exile.

Zhu Qiyu sat on the Wufeng Building of Chaoyang Gate, listening to the mournful cries of the people who saw him off under the city wall, even the sound of the wind passing through the door opening was quite desolate.

This misery was blown away by the north wind, as if it had never appeared before.

However, the folk houses from Chaoyangmen to Tongzhou City exude vitality everywhere. The roads are planned in an orderly manner. The houses are all red bricks and green tiles newly built in the past few years, and street trees are planted on every street. Used to distinguish between roads and pedestrians.

There is no evidence for the earliest street trees. As early as the Qin Dynasty when Chi Road was built, they had already been planted on both sides of the road. A few dead leaves hung on these street trees, crumbling in the wind.

The cold can't stop the enthusiasm of the people. The flat-bottomed tank boats from Tongzhou to Chaoyangmen are all over the river, and there are two rows of flagpoles on both sides of the river, which seem out of place.

These flagpoles were hung with Tonghuihe Heihao, who ordered Yu Qian to be executed before Zhu Qiyu ascended the throne, but now ten years have passed, and there is nothing on the flagpoles, but no one dares to move the flagpoles.

No one can stop the river anymore.

Zhu Qiyu really likes to be on the Wufeng Tower of Chaoyangmen, looking at the endless houses outside Chaoyangmen, this is the world.

"Some time ago, the governor of Shuntian Mansion made a request to dispose of Tongzhou and the capital of Beiya. I have approved the memorial. In the spring of next year, let Tongzhou be brought under the rule of the capital." Zhu Qiyu talked about government affairs to Yu Qian.

The development of the capital in recent years has been extremely fast, and it is almost impossible to let go of the outer city. There are endless houses outside the city, and the houses of Chaoyangmen have stretched to Tongzhou. It is necessary to plan Tongzhou as a part of the capital.

But Yu Qian said with some concern: "To the east is Tongzhou, to the south is Daxing Nanhaizi, to the west is Shijingshan, and to the north is Qinghe. With such a large area enclosed, I don't know if it will be enough."

In recent years, the capital has been turned upside down and changed with each passing day. When Yin Shangzuo of Shuntian Fu wanted to cancel the Tongzhou county government and change it to the capital, Yu Qian even rode a horse and found that there was indeed a need for expansion. Know if enough is enough.

"It should be enough for the past few years." Zhu Qiyu replied absent-mindedly, because the cries in the city were getting louder and louder, which had already disturbed the emperor and his ministers.

Zhu Qiyu's expression became playful.

As Yu Qian said, his generosity has not been exchanged for the slightest gratitude. Whether it is staying or the students who have flown overseas, they have expressed their strong dissatisfaction.

Zhu Qiyu heard some ugly words, and the people in the city didn't know that the emperor was on Wufeng Tower.

"Damn it, what kind of evil did you do? You're going to be exiled overseas! It's still Java, my son. How can you live there!" A sharp wailing and hysterical roar came. .

Zhu Qiyu sneered when he heard the word "Java". Exile overseas is also punished according to the seriousness of the incident. The prison students sent to Java are basically repeat offenders. Even if they are not exiled to Java, they must be sent to Yongning Temple.

What crime did you do?

Just like the cancer cells in the body, after the body dies, the cancer cells will also die, but the cancer cells just ignore it, and they must reach out where they should not be.

Zhu Qiyu had an operation to remove part of the tumor.

"These people can't live a hard life when they go overseas. After the opening of the sea in the Tang and Song Dynasties, there are many people who have gone south to live in Nanyang. If they are added to them, the end of the barbarians will come." Yu Qian said very sincerely to His Majesty.

The heart of a scholar is darker than ink.

Most of those who have no choice but to go south and live in Nanyang are hard-working people. These hard-working people are more than cruel, but not treacherous.There are not as many educated people as those who are hard-working people.

This group of supervisors gave birth to Nanyang, and the result of the foreign barbarians can be imagined.

"How to say?" Zhu Qiyu frowned and asked with some doubts.

Yu Qian said with a sigh: "This group of scholars will lead the expatriates, kill all the barbarian men, and then rob them of their women."

"Nikolaoz said that Ming has a high moral disadvantage." Zhu Qiyu refuted after thinking for a while, and it has been proved more than once that what Nikolaoz said is right, that Ming's high moral disadvantage does exist.

Yu Qian said helplessly: "How many moral people can be exiled by the court?"

"Kublai Khan, the ancestor of the Yuan Dynasty, followed the example of Cao Bin and went to the south of the Yangtze River without killing evil. After breaking Lin'an, the capital of the Southern Song Dynasty, a group of scholars in Lin'an were exiled to Yunnan, Guizhou, Sichuan and other places. They all moved to Yunnan, Guizhou, Sichuan and Guizhou.”

"These scholars led the Xiang army and killed people hole by hole."

"Zhejiang Chamber of Commerce Ye Zhongxing is in charge of overseas Chinese affairs. Some time ago, Tang Bao reported about the Luzon incident. Even if the local natives are willing to surrender, they will be castrated as slaves."

"They don't even spare their children."

Why did Cao Bin go to the south of the Yangtze River to be included in the history books?It is because such things are rare.

War is full of cruelty and blood, and colonization is the same.

When Zhu Qiyu heard what Yu Qian said, he was stunned for a while, remembering a memorial approved yesterday and said: "Today, the Ministry of Rites, King Said of Luzon, and King Muromachi Shogun Ashikaga Yoshimasa of Japan have sent envoys to ask me to severely punish lawbreakers. Sadist."

"I am also very embarrassed. I have already collected immigration tax. These overseas people are no longer Ming people. They should be regarded as pirates and thieves. I am the emperor of the Ming Dynasty. I can't control it even if I want to. I am powerless. Too late."

"I asked Ma Huan, Minister of Honglu Temple, to tell their envoys that if they wish, I can send the Daming Navy to garrison the army, as long as they provide the expenses for the military brigade and repair the port. However, they refused, thinking that we With the sailors around, they can hardly sleep."

"It's difficult for them, and it's difficult for me, everyone, let's make it difficult."

Zhu Qiyu was the emperor of the Ming Dynasty first, and then the majesty of the unification of the world. As for the title similar to Tian Khan, he didn't care much. Now the king of Luzon and the king of Japan, who are suffering from pirates, asked the Ming court for help Suppressing bandits, neither paying money nor allowing Daming to garrison troops, isn't this licking his face to understand whoring?

Then Zhu Qiyu had no choice.

As for whether what Yu Qian said will happen?Will.

Zhu Qiyu and Yu Qian stopped playing duets, because the cries in the city had suppressed their conversation.

The two prison families of Daming are driving away the reluctant crowd, while the school captains put the exiled prison students on the prison car. More than 2000 school captains are holding hooks and sickles to maintain order. The family members of these prison students, I can only cry and howl.

Some superintendents just got married, and the newlyweds cried with pear blossoms and choked up with rain;
Some superintendents are new fathers, and the cries of the babies in their infancy make people scratch their heads;
The parents of some supervising students have gray temples, and the white-haired ones send the black-haired ones to cry sadly;
Zhu Qiyu looked at all this indifferently, and watched the prison car escorting the prison students drift away. The officials of the Imperial Academy and the Metropolitan Procuratorate scolded a lot, but one thing was true, Zhu Qiyu was indeed a thin A cold and benevolent person.

He didn't have the slightest sympathy or pity for these sorrows, only four words, that is what he deserved.

It wasn't until the crowd slowly dispersed that Zhu Qiyu tightened his cloak, went down Wufeng Tower, and headed for Desheng Gate.

Only then did Yu Qian know that there were other arrangements for today.

As the elephant breeder of Daming, Marquis Shi Heng of Wuqing had been ostentatiously passing through the market after begging for a few iron horses from His Majesty, pulling the roaring iron horses to show off in the streets of the capital when he had nothing to do.

As the commander-in-chief of the Daming Beijing Camp and the elephant breeder of His Majesty, Marquis Wu Qing specially built a horse farm outside Desheng Gate. This horse farm covers an area of ​​more than [-] mu, and there are all kinds of equipment in it.

Zhu Qiyu's car drove to the gate of the racecourse, and Shi Heng had been waiting here for a long time.

Marquis Wu Qing arranged a big show today, the horse race.

The iron horse and the fine horse of the imperial horse supervisor compete to pull the cart.

The width between the two rails of the pulling rut is four feet three inches. This size is the width between the two ruts of Zhu Qiyu's rut ​​cart that goes out on weekdays, and it can fit two good horses to pull the cart.

If the built roads are not even able to drive your majesty's chariot, then why do they need to be built?
Zhu Qiyu's big driver Yuren is an instrument car, and the distance between the two ruts is nearly ten feet wide, so he can't run fast at all.

The weight of the trucks is three thousand catties, about one and a half tons, and the vehicles are filled with steel and fire feathers that have been called long ago. These are all armaments.

A total of twelve iron horses and twelve fine horses participated in the competition.

"See Your Majesty, is Your Majesty safe?" Shi Heng ran over quickly after seeing the emperor's big jade car stopped, and took the alighting stool from Xing'an's hand and put it away.

"See Your Majesty, Your Majesty's holy bow." Everyone behind Shi Heng saluted.

"I'm safe." Zhu Qiyu looked at Shi Heng and said with a smile.

Since Shi Heng got the iron horse, he has become more courteous, somewhat disregarding his status as Marquis of Wu Qing as a hereditary martial artist.

Shi Heng also had something to say.

When King Jili was in power, he was a domineering bully outside the Great Wall. Together with Sai Yin Buhua, they were called the Shuangsha of the Grassland. Even the village women on the grassland saw it and found a hole to go in. Yu Qian was the governor of Shanxi. , must be impeached consecutively.

Now that he is a noble and hereditary martial artist of the Ming Dynasty, where and which family is so powerful that he will not politely bow down and call him Lord Marquis?How dare you be disrespectful?

Moreover, His Majesty really wants him to lead the Ming army, a gold-armed iron horse, swallow thousands of miles like a tiger, and be famous before and after, which one is not given by His Majesty today?
Be courteous, what's the matter!
Na Saiyin Buhua took refuge in Wala, and either drank northwest wind or ate sand outside the Great Wall, what kind of life did he live?
How is Shi Heng, Marquis of Wuqing, living now?
"What's the program today? Marquis Wu Qing, introduce me?" Zhu Qiyu asked.

Shi Heng flicked his sleeves, took out a map and said: "Your Majesty, please take a look, start from Deshengmen, go to Shijingchang official factory to unload, then pick up armaments at Shijingchang, and take them back to Beitu outside Deshengmen. city."

"Passing through three rivers along the way, climbing four slopes and descending four slopes, the total length of the journey is [-] miles. The rules are also very simple. The one who returns more wins. If the number is the same, the one who returns quickly wins."

After reading the map, Zhu Qiyu didn't have any opinion on the schedule, but was quite surprised by the rules of the game, and said full of doubts: "The one who comes back the most wins? Why not the one who wins quickly?"

"It's all about armaments, mainly for security." Shi Heng said quite seriously.

After the Ming Dynasty's Chi Road is built, if there is a military operation, there will be limited guarantees for armaments, and the biggest problem with the transportation of armaments is actually preservation, not speed.

If a horse runs fast, it is easy to stumble; if a car drives fast, it is easy to overturn.

And Shi Heng held this jockey meeting not to show how fast the iron horse is, but the stability of the iron horse.

Zhu Qiyu nodded in agreement, then changed the topic and said: "We have heard that some people say that it is nothing more than building official roads and post roads, but we also need to build chi roads. In the end, those rebellious people will smash them to pieces along the chi roads." Our brains."

Back then, the Qin Dynasty built the Chi Dao and destroyed the Qin Dynasty. Today, Daming is now repairing the Chi Dao, and it seems that the country will also perish!
"Who! I'll smash his head first!" Shi Heng glared with anger and said loudly. As the chief military officer of the capital, Shi Heng immediately flew into a rage when he heard such words.

Whether it is the Qin Chi Road or the Sui Canal, when it was built, it was all about recruiting civilians, and it was fine if they didn't pay.

The Ming Dynasty spent a lot of money to build official roads and post roads, and dredged waterways, which cost nearly [-] million silver coins, which frightened the ministers of the household department, Jin Lian, Zhang Feng, and Shen Yi, to sleep with silver coins in their beds.

Even Xu Youzhen, a quasi-rebel, has 2 engineers!
Even Shi Heng knows that His Majesty's practice is to use work for relief, which is not a great achievement!Your Majesty is cultivating industrial craftsmen, not exhausting the people's strength!

Shi Heng understands the truth, how can these scholars not know?
"It doesn't matter if you don't mention it." Zhu Qiyu waved his hand, but didn't go into it too much.

Shi Heng still gritted his teeth and said: "These scholars are really vicious when they scold others."

"Otherwise, are they reading all these books for nothing?" Yu Qian continued, he is now a hereditary martial artist, and he is no longer the same as the elected officials.

"Today's horse race, is there anyone else besides Wu Xun?" Zhu Qiyu and Shi Heng were talking, looking back, it was very lively.

Shi Heng said cheerfully: "Isn't it because His Majesty is coming that I dare to invite you?"

As the commander-in-chief of the capital, Shi Heng holds a high position, but it is also a very dangerous position. If His Majesty has any distrust of him, he will be the commander-in-chief.

If Zhu Qiyu hadn't agreed to come and gave Shi Heng ten courages, he wouldn't have dared to invite so many people.

"Then let's get ready and start." Zhu Qiyu flicked his sleeves and walked into the racecourse.

　Sai Yinbuhua was the governor of Dongshengwei, and Shi Heng was the commander-in-chief of Datong Mansion, and his official position was also the governor's affairs. In charge of his family's trade routes outside the Great Wall, after Wang Fu pretended to seek refuge with the Oirats, Sai Yin didn't take the first glance to see that Wang Fu was Yebushou, and cooperated with Wang Fu to rescue the captured Yebushou, please return Zhongliang's bones were taken away, and now his wife and son are in the smoky land of Guangxi.Ask for a monthly ticket, woo! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !
