lied to Kangxi

Chapter 626 What Clan is Hai Rui?
The foreigner's ship, the foreigner's helmsman, and the foreigner's captain are naturally familiar with the way to Dongwu.

A crusade fleet composed of nearly a hundred large ships sailed away from Guangzhou in a mighty manner, sticking to the coastline, heading southward along the ocean, and headed straight for the Indochina Peninsula.

When passing through Macau, the fleet stopped for two days, and the foreigners loaded the naval guns that had been placed in Macau one by one.

Yuzhu held the side of the boat with his hands, looking at the busy foreign sailors with a half-smile.

William was a little embarrassed, but he had to explain clearly, so he said cautiously, "Dear General, your country prohibits the entry of muskets and artillery, and European businessmen must abide by your country's laws, so..."

Yuzhu smiled, and said coldly: "Dear Mr. William, believe it or not, I can throw you down to feed the sharks at any time?"

Since William betrayed the old William and his younger brother, he was firmly tied to Yuzhu's thief ship, and he could no longer escape.

After dealing with Yu Zhu for many years, William knew how powerful Yu Zhu was. He quickly lowered his head and whispered, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I lied again. However, you also know that from so far away If you come from Europe, if you don’t have guns and cannons on board, it’s like sending money to the pirates.”

Yuzhu had known for a long time that before the foreign merchants brought their goods to the Qing Dynasty, the weapons on board were stored in Macau or Luzon Island.

The customs and navy of the Qing Dynasty were very strict about the inspection of weapons.

To put it bluntly, if foreigners bring other things, as long as they have enough money, there is room for negotiation.

All kinds of controlled weapons belong to the absolute forbidden zone.As long as it is discovered by the officers and soldiers, it is a felony to lose his head.

As for the fact that the foreign merchants put their weapons on Macau Island, the local officials in Guangzhou also knew about it.Because the foreigners returned home with weapons, the bureaucrats also had room to shirk, and pretended to be confused with their eyes open and closed on purpose.

Loose on the outside and tight on the inside is a true portrayal of the differences between the inside and outside of the Qing Dynasty.

In fact, what the Qing Dynasty continued was the policy of the Mongolian and Yuan dynasties, uniting various people of color to rule together the large number of low-level Han people.

After leaving Lingdingyang, the fleet spread its sails and sailed westward.

Five days later, the fleet arrived at Qiongzhou Prefecture in Hainan, which is now Haikou City.

Today's Hainan Island is under the jurisdiction of the governor of Guangdong, and the whole island is under the jurisdiction of Qiongzhou Prefecture.In other words, one island is one province.

This is roughly similar to the model of Taiwan Island.

After the old emperor took over the island of Taiwan, he set up the Taiwan government in Tainan instead of Taipei.

Contrary to what everyone imagines, the largest city in the northern part of Taiwan Island at this time is actually Tamsui Hall (Hsinchu City).

As for the famous Taipei City in later generations, it is now just a small fishing port called Mengjia (měngxiá).

Monka, also known as small boats, was later extended to the place where small boats gather.

The old emperor has always been very vigilant against the Zheng family and his sons using outlying islands to create chaos.

Therefore, after the Qing Dynasty, the prefect of Taiwan and the commander-in-chief of the Taiwan town were not under the jurisdiction of each other, but both were under the jurisdiction of the Taixia Bingdao stationed in Xiamen.

It must be admitted that the old emperor was extremely skilled in playing this kind of trick of controlling each other and conspiring with me without collaborating.

The southward movement of Yuzhu is of epoch-making historical significance.

It is no exaggeration to say that after Zheng He of the Ming Dynasty went to the Western Seas, hundreds of years later, the Celestial Dynasty once again dispatched such a large-scale fleet to spread its prestige outside the land territory.

To be honest, the old emperor is getting old and getting better and better.

Yuzhu is not only an authentic Manchurian banner official, but also a confidant minister single-handedly promoted by the old emperor.Therefore, the old emperor didn't think too deeply about his rationalization proposal, so he nodded and agreed.

The old emperor is a serious emperor who knows how to fight, not a talker who talks about soldiers on paper.

As early as when San Francisco was pacified, after the old emperor commanded a large army to enter Yunnan, he wanted to take advantage of the situation to destroy Dongwu, which was rebellious and smooth.

It's a pity that in the mountains that stretched for nearly a thousand miles, the Qing army not only had difficulties in supplying logistics and supplies, but also lost troops and lost generals, so they had to retreat in despair.

Now, the old emperor is really interested in Yuzhu's two-sided strategy.

Yuzhu is not the talkative Zhao Kuo, but he has actually fought many victories and never lost a famous marshal.

When marching at sea, you can attack, retreat or defend. You only need to bring more food ships to ensure that the army is not hungry.

Moreover, Yuzhu only brought more than 1 people to attack Dongwu from the sea. In case of defeat, it is impossible to hurt the country of the Qing Dynasty, and the loss is extremely controllable.

Various factors, integrated into one place, contributed to Yuzhu's voyage to Nanyang this time.

When the army arrived at Qiongzhou Prefecture, fresh water had to be replenished.

While waiting for supplies, Yuzhu went to Qiongshan County to visit Hai Rui's tomb on a whim, accompanied by Yang Dingjin, the prefect of Qiongzhou.

Hai Rui, named Ruxian and named Gangfeng, was born in Qiongshan County, Qiongzhou Prefecture.

According to Yang Dingjin's introduction, Hai Rui's tomb is located in his hometown, Binya Village, Qiongshan County, in the western suburbs of Qiongzhou Prefecture.

The tomb of Hai Rui was built in 17, the 1589th year of Wanli.

Because Hai Rui had no children, Emperor Wanli sympathized with his loyal ministers, and specially sent Xu Ziwei, a student of Hai Rui who was born as a Jinshi, to Qiongzhou to supervise the construction of the tomb.

This Xu Ziwei really has a heart of benevolence and filial piety. After he presided over the completion of Hai Rui's tomb, he insisted on not returning to Beijing, and took the initiative to guard the tomb for his teacher for three years.

In order to please the powerful Yuzhu, Yang Dingjin rolled his eyes and said with a smile: "The general may not know, but the origin of Haigang Peak is quite controversial."

"Oh?" Yuzhu immediately became interested, Hai Qingtian had a lot of anecdotes, maybe he had never heard of them.

Seeing Yuzhu staring at him intently, Yang Dingjin suppressed the complacency in his heart, and with a smile on his face, he introduced: "When I first came to Qiongzhou Mansion for the first time, I heard people say that Haigangfeng was not of Han descent. They are the descendants of the Hui family."

This is quite new, Yuzhu immediately regained his spirits, and stared at Yang Dingjin's fat face without blinking.

Seeing that Yuzhu's interest was aroused, Yang Dingjin was secretly proud of himself, and explained in detail: "The distant ancestor of Haigang Peak is Haida'er. This name is extremely rare, and it can only be found in the back. I think you must know the name, General." Yes, the former Emperor Taizu of the Ming Dynasty banned the changing of the surname of the Semu people."

Yu Zhu nodded. He had served as the vice president of the Ming History Museum for a period of time, and he still had some understanding of some of the great achievements of Ming Taizu.

How should I put it, because the Semu people, together with Meng Yuan, bullied the Han people together.Therefore, Ming Taizu took various restrictive measures against the Semu people.

For example, the famous eunuch Zheng He, the little prince of Semuren, was castrated and given to Zhu Laosi.

Seeing that Yuzhu was in very good condition, Yang Dingjin said again: "It's just that Hu Zongxian once said: Yesterday I heard that Hai Ling was his mother's birthday, and the market meat is two catties."

After Yuzhu heard the words, he couldn't help laughing. The magistrate Yang knew that he was the number one scholar, and he must be a well-educated banner man, so he deliberately wanted to use historical stories to lure him into the trap!
