Prince of Chaos

Chapter 425

After Matteo Ricci came to Beijing, his choice of residence was also done in accordance with the rules for foreigners coming to China in the past.

He now lives in a small alley next to the Honglu Temple in the capital. There are foreigners from all over the world living here, including Persians, Turks, and Xiyi people.

However, most of the foreigners living here are businessmen and craftsmen, as well as some missionaries.

The management of these foreigners is also uniformly arranged by Honglu Temple.

Therefore, in ancient China, the Central Plains Dynasty was still very polite to Siyi, but this kind of politeness was a kind of superior politeness, a kind of politeness that truly showed the grandeur of a big country, not the kind of flattery and kneeling politeness of later generations .

It's not like in the late Qing Dynasty, when they had to designate a special extralegal land of a country within a country.

Although Daming's management of Xiyi, there is also an aspect of courtesy.However, this kind of courtesy is entirely out of a psychological attitude towards the heavenly kingdom.

When these foreigners violated the laws of their country, they would still be arrested by the violent agencies of the court and beheaded for public display.The so-called immunity of foreigners does not exist at all.

Scenes like this may have been commonplace in ancient China.

However, after the late Qing Dynasty, and even now, it is big news enough to hit the headlines.

It can be seen that once the backbone of a country is interrupted, it is extremely difficult to connect it again.

Although they have stood up for decades, many people have already subconsciously classified themselves as second-class citizens in their bones. They are humble and dare not ask questions from foreigners.It's pathetic to completely forget the fact that you're already standing.

In the Ciqing Palace, Wei Zhongxian had already arranged for Zhu Changluo to meet Xu Guangqi and Matteo Ricci in private.

"Your Highness, this is a post from the Jingshi Academy. According to reliable sources, Xu Guangqi and Matteo Ricci will come to Chuchun Garden for a banquet tonight."

After Zhu Changluo finished listening, he hummed and said, "Got it."

At this moment, Zhu Changluo was reading a memorial sent by Li Rusong.

Li Rusong's memorial said that the Yehe tribe was timid and fearless, and had no courage. After annexing the Huifa tribe, they have been in a state of being content with the status quo, and have no plans to continue annexing other tribes to strengthen themselves.On the contrary, Wu Labu is particularly attentive, and there is a desire to be aggressive everywhere to show his attitude.

In this regard, Li Rusong is also asking Zhu Changluo if he wants to change to another person for support. If Ye He's department is really muddy and cannot support the wall, it may delay the strategic plan of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

After reading Li Rusong's memorial, Zhu Changluo pinched Shan Gen, he was really disappointed.

Of course, this disappointment is not for Li Rusong. Li Rusong has done a good job in Daxinganling. The current Daxinganling City has begun to take shape on the basis of the original Tuman City. In addition to the main cities in Liaodong, it became another town with a large population.After 20 or [-] years of operation, I believe it will definitely become a new city closely connected with the main body of Daming!
Zhu Changluo was really disappointed with Ye Hebu. His support for Ye Hebu was clearly a gift from God.However, Ye Hebu, the pampered Jurchen leaders, are so unwilling to make progress. With such strong support, they are content with the status quo, thinking that with the protection of Ming Dynasty, everything will be fine.

This attitude really annoyed Zhu Changluo to the extreme!It seemed that they were so used to enjoying it that they forgot how dangerous their situation was.

As for the Wula tribe proposed by Li Rusong, Zhu Changluo actually had no hope.

After all, the lesson of the Yehe tribe is right in front of us. Although the Wula tribe is active now, the essence of the four Haixi tribes is the same.

They haven't suffered a lot, they don't have the wolf nature of being prepared for danger in times of peace, and they don't have the spirit of actively pioneering. As long as they feel safe, they won't work hard anymore.

Counting on such a tribe to contain Jianzhou is simply beating a dog with a meat bun.

Therefore, Zhu Changluo decided to give up the Fourth Haixi Division. He wanted to create a small tribe there, let this small tribe eat up the Fourth Haixi Division, and continue to fight and consume the Jianzhou Jurchens in the bitter cold land of Liaodong. , and the surrounding grassland tribes.

"Go and find Hu Huaide and Li Wuyi. Let them wait for Gu outside the palace."

Wei Zhongxian didn't expect that Zhu Changluo would suddenly look for Hu Huaide and Li Wuyi. They were both key members of the Southern Army, just like Wu Weizhong and Qi Jin.

Based on the principle of divide and rule, Wu Weizhong, Qi Jin and a group of members of the original Southern Army were transferred back a year earlier. Now, Wu Weizhong and Qi Jin have also been assigned to the Zhili Navy.

The members of the southern army who were transferred back had also been dispersed long ago and integrated into other Xishan law enforcement teams.After several rounds of blood exchanges, the marks of the Southern Army in the Xishan law enforcement team and the mine protection team of the Niutougou Gold Mine have long been washed away, and now they are pure Xishan law enforcement members.

As for the name of the Southern Army, it has long been swept into the dust of history.

And Hu Huaide and Li Wuyi had just been transferred back from Niutougou town.

Now both Hu Huaide and Li Wuyi are in the Xishan Huangzhuang Law Enforcement Team with the third-level management sign. At present, there are no specific errands for them.

However, listening to Zhu Changluo's tone, it seemed that there would be a new task for them soon.

Thinking of this, Wei Zhongxian couldn't help but envy the Southern Army's luck.

Originally, a Lengshui Yamen that grandma didn't care about and grandma didn't love, turned into the defender of Ningxia's Niutougou Gold Mine, and now it has become the backbone of the law enforcement team of Xishan Huangzhuang.

This luck is really not ordinary.

"Yes, the slave will call them here."

Wei Zhongxian replied.

When Hu Huaide and Li Wuyi arrived outside the palace, it was almost dark.

Zhu Changluo, who had been busy all day with official duties, finally put down the work in hand.

Under the service of the palace servants, Zhu Changluo changed into an ordinary Confucian scholar's attire and wore a Confucian robe, which also looked extraordinarily delicate, like a pretty scholar.

"Let's go."

When the folding fan in Zhu Changluo's hand was tapped, it looked extraordinarily casual. Although it was already the beginning of winter, decorative objects like folding fans still existed in the hands of ordinary scholars.Therefore, Zhu Changluo can be regarded as doing as the Romans do, he also found a folding fan and held it in his hand, doing a bit of arty.

After preparing all these, Wei Zhongxian followed Zhu Changluo and quietly left the palace in the dark.

After leaving the palace gate, Hu Huaide and Li Wuyi, who had been waiting at the palace gate for a long time, immediately followed Zhu Changluo's carriage and became extremely loyal bodyguards.

After the carriage was far away, Zhu Changluo called out, "Stop."

The carriage stopped at the sound, and Hu Huaide and Li Wuyi immediately stood in front of the carriage and waited.

Zhu Changluo lifted the curtain of the car with the folding fan in his hand, and said to Hu Huaide and Li Wuyi: "Both of you get in the car."

Hu Huaide and Li Wuyi stood under the car and saluted first, and then they entered Zhu Changluo's compartment together.

In Zhu Changluo's spacious carriage, the two saluted again.

"I see Your Highness."

Zhu Changluo said: "Okay, sit down, I have something to tell you."

　It should be changed first. . .

　　Ask for a ticket~~~
