Daming: I, the emperor who trains the carpenter

Chapter 668 The Lord of Annan, It's Really Cut to Cuts!

mu family is dead
Toast is dead.

Then it was the turn of Annan's dignitaries.

It was still a public trial, counting their crimes in detail, and the people in Yunnan also stood up and stated how they used their troops to cause disaster in Yunnan, wantonly burned, killed, looted, plundered people's property, and ruined good families. The people who heard it were outraged.

And Qiao Yunsheng also took the opportunity to interrogate, all the dignitaries in Annan were killed, and a large number of heads fell to the ground.

During the three consecutive days of trial, Qiao Yunsheng also fulfilled Qiao Qingtian's reputation among the common people.

After all, he is the elder of the Daming Court and the Minister of the Ministry of Justice, with a stern face and dedicated to the people, Qiao Yunsheng didn't even know that he had become Bao Zheng of the Ming Dynasty.

And during the three-day public trial, the envoys from all over the world have fully seen how powerful Daming is. With so many dignitaries, their heads will fall off. Daming, it's really terrible.

On the last day, only one person was judged, Li Weiqi, the leader of Annan Kingdom.

He considers himself the emperor of Dayue Kingdom, but in Daming, he is just the ruler of barbarians.

Seeing that it was his turn to lose his head, Li Weiqi couldn't care less about the majesty of the emperor of the Great Viet Kingdom. He cried bitterly and knelt down to beg for mercy, expressing that he would be the emperor's loyal dog in the future and would never dare to violate the border of the Ming Dynasty again. , as long as Daming is willing to spare his life, he is willing to give all his wealth to pay tribute to Daming.

Zhu Youxiao wanted to laugh at what he said!

Just kidding, spare your life, are you willing to spend all your wealth?
What wealth do you have?
If you are destroyed, your money and subjects will still belong to Daming.

Therefore, Li Weiqi's trial officially began, and with the announcement of successive evidences, Li Weiqi was finally sentenced to Ling Chi.

The real Ling Chi, calculated according to the highest [-] knives, that's what I'm talking about.

This Lingchi is a skill, to ensure that the criminal will not die during the execution process, and also to ensure that the last offender will be killed immediately, there are very few people in Ming Dynasty who have this kind of skill.

When Li Weiqi heard that he was going to be hacked into pieces, he rolled his eyes and fainted from fright on the spot. This made Qiao Yunsheng couldn't help but his heart skipped a beat. If Li Weiqi was scared to death, who would suffer the three thousand six A hundred knives?

Fortunately, after the doctor's examination, Li Weiqi just fainted from fright, Qiao Yunsheng immediately ordered Li Weiqi to be taken down to recuperate, it will be late tomorrow, and he can't die today.

And at midnight the next day, Zhu Youxiao also kindly invited the envoys from various countries to the banquet, and everyone watched how Li Weiqi, the Annan king, was hacked to pieces.

Looking at the trembling and fidgeting envoys sitting on the seats on both sides, Wang Tiqian beside Zhu Youxiao quickly introduced: "Please rest assured, all envoys, the [-] knives will not be cut in one day, but will be divided into three days." , [-] knives a day."

When they heard that they would be cut for three days, these envoys were even more frightened. For three days in a row, they saw the flesh from the living person's body lingering. Can they still eat and sleep?

These envoys were afraid, but the people of Ming Dynasty were not. Ling Chi, it is hard to see such a situation in many years.

So under the watchful eyes of the emperors and ministers of the Ming Dynasty, envoys from all over the world, and people from all over the world, Li Weiqi, the last ruler of Annan and the last emperor of the Li Dynasty in Annan, was forced to cut [-] knives for three consecutive days and finally died. .

I have to say that the master craftsman's craftsmanship is different, and it is really the last knife that dies.

And this scene is also the scene where the envoys from all over the world turned pale and fearful, and dreamed at night that they were being asked for their lives by Qingchen and Li Weiqi.

As for Zhu Youxiao, he slept very peacefully.

Just kidding, Daming is now in a prosperous state, he is a majestic real dragon emperor, the emperor who rules the world, would he still be afraid of this?
After all the executions were completed, Zhang Haogu asked Daming Daily to write a special article, the purpose of which was to publicize the prestige of the Ming Dynasty and let the people know how powerful the Ming Dynasty is today and how much it attaches importance to the people.

Zhang Ruitu was even so inspired that he wrote several dramas overnight. In addition to describing Wang Shi's expedition to Annan and the drama of the divine soldiers descending from heaven and burning the rising dragon, Zhang Ruitu especially focused on describing the trial of the Mu family.

Among them, Zhang Ruitu wrote about the kindness of the Son of Heaven with eloquence, thinking of the Mu family's hard work, and being angry at the tragic situation of the people in Yunnan. Qiao Yunsheng was described by him as Bao Zheng of the Ming Dynasty, who was ruthless and insisted on executing the Mu family. The whole family, Da Tianzi, who finally cared about the common people, reluctantly agreed, but leaving a little blood to the Mu family can be regarded as a complete relationship between the monarch and his ministers, and the Mu family has contributed more than two hundred years.

Zhu Youxiao was especially satisfied when this drama was written. When Zhu Youxiao was satisfied, Zhang Ruitu immediately took the drama and went to exchange money.

Right now, Zhang Ruitu's writing fee is getting higher and higher. The "Apocalypse Microservice Private Interview" series written by Daming Cifu and Minister of Rites himself is the most popular book in Daming.

And the drama adapted from this series of stories is also a packed drama.

Now that Zhang Ruitu's new play is out, no matter how many people rush to get it, they may not be able to grab it.

And with the spread of the Daming Newspaper in various parts of the Ming Dynasty, and the spread of this new play, the people of the Ming Dynasty also learned what happened. For a while, the people cheered endlessly, and they were all proud of the prosperity of the Ming Dynasty.

And the kindness and ultimate helplessness of Emperor Tianqi in the drama also moved the people. He is really a good emperor of Ming Dynasty.

Can the emperor be blamed for this murder?

No!

It's all the Mu family's fault!
If it wasn't for the Mu family's killing of the common people and attracting foreign enemies, how could the emperor have no choice but to kill them?
These villains have made the emperor sad!
Not to mention the common people, even Zhu Youxiao was a little confused when he saw the choreographed drama, and poked Zhang Haogu next to him: "Master, is I really such a soft-hearted person?"

Zhang Haogu said: "The writing of this drama is very good, the common people like it very much."

Zhu Youxiao nodded: "It seems that I am still really a soft-hearted person. Alas, my heart is too soft-hearted to bear to kill someone."

Zhu Youxiao and Zhang Haogu's words were heard by the surrounding officials, all of them had different expressions and dared not speak.

Too soft-hearted?

Reluctant to kill?
Listen, listen, do people speak? !

If you were soft-hearted and reluctant to kill people, there wouldn't be so many heads on the ground!

But what's the use if the officials don't believe it?

It is enough for the people to believe.

This play was originally for the common people to watch, and the common people applauded after watching it, feeling that the emperor is the benevolent emperor in his heart, and that is enough.

At the end of the play, Zhu Youxiao was satisfied, all the officials dispersed, and Xiyuan returned to its usual tranquility.

Zhu Youxiao stretched his waist: "Today's drama is not bad."

Eunuch Wei hurriedly stepped forward: "It's good for the emperor to be happy, but the emperor is tired, and the servants asked the servants to prepare hot water for the emperor to relieve his fatigue?"

Zhu Youxiao said: "Call the master together, Tangchi is ready, and Wei Ban will come with you."

Eunuch Wei smiled openly, "Hey."

Soon Zhang Haogu came back, and Zhu Youxiao said with a smile: "This summer, sometimes it's wet and cold after the wind and rain, which makes people uncomfortable."

"I'm thinking about soaking in soup."

Zhang Haogu smiled: "That's just right, I have something here, just show it to the emperor."

Soaking in Tangmu hot spring, Zhu Youxiao leaned comfortably on the stone wall: "Now, the world is finally at peace again."

Feeling the slow rippling of the hot spring water, Zhang Haogu also sighed: "Yes, it's not easy to be calm."

Soaking in the bath with his eyes closed, Zhu Youxiao said slowly: "I have read the notebook that Master presented earlier."

"It's a good idea to emulate Cheng Zu and turn Annan into a prefecture of Ming Dynasty."

"Once the North-South relationship is established, it will not be easy for Annan to integrate again."

"Back then, Xuanzong had to shrink his power and abandon the benefits because of the five expeditions to Mobei during the Yongle period, and the national power was not as good as before. Now the benefits have finally returned to the imperial court."

Zhang Haogu is also enjoying the hot spring with his eyes closed: "Benefits of a place are related to the imperial court's control over the Western Ocean. Mastering the benefits, the imperial court can control the Western countries. Not to mention the Nanzhang, Eastern Territory, Dacheng and other vassal states. The countries on the sea are also under my Ming's control."

"Looking through the case files, I also found some traces of the seven voyages to the Western Seas during the Chengzu period. The fleet sailed to the Western Seas and traveled to various countries, and the land of entrustment was indispensable for supplies."

"In the future, the imperial court will have sailors who can sail long distances. Using the benefits as a platform, the navy will set off from Fujian to patrol Nanyang and control this piece of land. Nanyang has a pleasant climate, fertile land, and rice seeds can be grown three times a year. A rare treasure."

Zhu Youxiao opened his eyes: "Three crops a year, I have heard that the rice seeds from Nanyang are excellent, and the rice seeds from Champa were introduced in the Song Dynasty. Or the climate."

Zhang Haogu said: "Nanyang is different from Ming Dynasty. The climate in Nanyang is humid and warm, and the rice seeds can be grown three times a year because of local conditions. The so-called oranges grown in Huainan are oranges, and when grown in Huaibei, they are trifoliate oranges. There is nothing like this."

"If you want to cultivate local rice species, you have to spend years and months."

"And the taste may not be as good as the original rice."

Eunuch Wei asked: "So, Master Zhang thinks that the rice seeds don't need much effort?"

Zhang Haogu said with a smile: "Nowadays, many people think that the imperial court has fertilizer, and the original rice seeds are not impossible, as long as they can be used, why bother to cultivate new rice seeds."

"But the population of the world is constantly increasing."

"Nowadays, there are more than 3000 million households in Daming. With so many mouths, one always has to eat to fill one's stomach."

"Right now, the rice seeds are enough, but what about a disaster year? The imperial court must be prepared."

Zhu Youxiao nodded: "Yes, there are more and more people in Ming Dynasty, and the court needs more food."

Zhang Haogu said with a smile: "When Liaodong is pacified in the future, Liaodong can be used as a granary, and Jiaozhi can also become the court's grain production ground."

"The grain is always enough for the people right now, but the cultivation of rice seeds cannot be neglected. The matter of grain is a big matter. If the people have food in their homes, there will be no chaos in this world. Even if someone wants to create chaos, the people will They cannot be tolerated.”

Zhu Youxiao said: "I have been looking at the map you sent me these days, Master. The world is so big. There are lands everywhere. I want to tell future generations that we must never give up investigating things and marching. The emperor of Ming Dynasty We must keep our eyes on the world at all times, and prepare to use Da Ming's sword to open up more land for Da Ming's plow."

"The world is so big, I'm afraid I won't be able to conquer one or two in my whole life, but I can't be happier when I think that there are so many territories waiting for my children and grandchildren to claim."

Zhang Haogu said with a smile: "Your Majesty, do you still remember that Caichen said that there is something for the Emperor to have a look at?"

Zhu Youxiao came alive: "What novelty did Master get?"

Zhang Haogu said a few words to Eunuch Wei, and Eunuch Wei immediately sent someone to fetch it. Zhu Youxiao looked at the cloth-covered things in front of him, sized them up and said, "This is a boat?"

Zhang Haogu smiled and lifted the cloth: "Exactly, Your Majesty, this is the warship of the Hongyi people."

Zhu Youxiao picked up a model and looked at it carefully, then put it in the water and watched the model float on the water surface, then waved the water surface to simulate wind and waves, watched the warship model go up and down with the water waves, and his expression became serious: "Hong Yi A human boat is unusual."

Zhang Haogu said: "Your Majesty, since the founding of the ancestors, Daming has never organized a fleet to go to the West. After the border was moved to the forbidden sea, the fleet was abandoned, and the blueprints were burned. Daming wanted to build a new fleet to subdue the barbarians. There needs to be another way.”

As he spoke, Zhang Haogu picked up the largest model and placed it on the surface of the hot spring water: "Look, Your Majesty."

"This is a large warship of the Westerners. It has three tiers of gun emplacements and can accommodate forty or fifty Hongyi cannons, each of which weighs more than a thousand catties. There are more than [-] cannons roaring, but their warships can withstand such momentum."

"In this respect, our Fuchuan is not as good as them."

Zhu Youxiao pondered: "That's why Master wants to imitate their warships."

Zhang Haogu said: "Imitating their warships is not only to provide Da Ming with a batch of usable long-distance ships, but also to add experience to Da Ming's iron-clad ship manufacturing. A large ship made of all-steel can't be built. Daming can’t build a ship with a steam engine?”

"At present, Daming is unparalleled in some aspects, but in other aspects, it is much worse."

Zhu Youxiao knew what Zhang Haogu was talking about, and he also had the ambition to open up the world. If the Ming Dynasty needed to open up the world, it needed a powerful fleet, a large fleet that could subdue the barbarians in all directions.

"Can the shipbuilders in Fujian imitate the warships of Westerners?" Zhu Youxiao asked.

Historically, the best shipbuilding technology in the Central Plains is not Gyeonggi and Jiangnan, but Fujian.

Fujian's shipbuilding technology is the best in the Central Plains. For example, the treasure ships and lucky ships of the Ming Dynasty are all made by skilled craftsmen in Fujian.

Although the imperial court now has a shipyard in Jiangnan and a shipyard in southern Liaoning, the shipbuilding process still depends on Fujian.

Hearing Zhu Youxiao's question, Zhang Haogu said: "Fujian shipbuilders, there is still not much missing in the inheritance of craftsmanship. It is not a big problem to imitate the warships of the Hongyi people."

Zhu Youxiao nodded: "Then let's imitate the ships of the Hongyi people first, and send shipbuilders from Fujian to the south of the Yangtze River, and imitate the warships of the Hongyi people in the shipyards in the south of the Yangtze River."

After talking about the warship, Zhu Youxiao said: "Also, regarding the matter of the welfare, the welfare is now divided into two. What is the cabinet's plan for the post of governor?"

Zhang Haogu said with a smile: "I think that Jiaozhi can imitate the grassland, and use military as the first to deter the governor."

"In this place of welfare, I plan to let the commander of Nanjing Shenji Battalion Huang Degong be the governor of the North Jiaotong, and at the same time plan to find a person from the welfare to be the governor of the South Jiaotong."

Zhu Youxiao immediately understood Zhang Haogu's meaning, let Huang Degong be the actual governor, and at the same time let a Jiaozhi person be the nominal governor. A social welfare person as the governor will also allow the social welfare personnel to see the channel of ascension so as not to cause trouble.

In the final analysis, it is still a means of fighting and canceling, wooing one faction and attacking the other.

But no matter how old-fashioned this method is, he just needs to use it.

"Huang Degong, he is indeed a good candidate to lead the Shenbing camp to burn the dragon and capture the dignitaries of Annan's royal family alive. He is paying for his blessings, and those people dare not mess around."

As Zhu Youxiao said, he ordered: "Promote Huang Degong to Prince Shaofu, promote to General Dragon and Tiger, honor the Guard Army, and serve as Governor of Beijiao."

After Huang Degong's promotion was set, Zhu Youxiao was not idle. He looked at the achievements of other people. Han Yaowei, Zhao Yuqi, Qin Liangyu, Lang Pingyu and others were promoted one by one. Those who should be promoted should be promoted. Never treat meritorious ministers badly.

After setting the rewards for everyone, Zhu Youxiao had a good time in the bath, and he came out of the hot spring pool and said, "The tribute missions from various countries will arrive in Beijing soon, and the cabinet should be ready to receive them."

Zhang Haogu said with a smile: "Your Majesty, don't worry, the Ministry of Rituals has already prepared, and the complete set of etiquette will not go wrong."

"Does the cabinet have any ideas on how to demonstrate the prestige of our country?" Zhu Youxiao asked again.

When envoys from various countries come to court, Shangguo must show the majesty of a great country and the majesty of the celestial dynasty. Zhu Youxiao can't miss such a good moment of pretense. After all, he always shows off his martial arts in front of his courtiers. Comfortable to boast in front of foreign ministers?

Zhang Haogu thought for a moment and said: "Your Majesty, how about holding a grand parade?"

"Big reading?"

Zhu Youxiao's eyes lit up: "The big reading is a good idea."

"These countries come to the court, and the court holds a grand military parade, which can deter the countries."

Zhang Haogu continued: "Then why don't you transfer the three major battalions, and another army from the grassland, and hold a military exercise directly outside the capital to practice the battle of the army and attack the city."

Zhu Youxiao nodded: "Well, that's it."

"The cabinet issued a decree to select soldiers and horses, and conduct drills. I want to show those missions, Daming's Tianwei."

After making a plan, Zhang Haogu immediately issued an order after returning to the cabinet, and transferred the troops to the grassland, the three major battalions in the north and the south, and mobilized more than [-] people from the new army to hold a drill.

This is a big event, and it can be said that it is the first time that the Tianqi Dynasty has held such a large-scale actual military exercise.

And as more soldiers and horses were mobilized and more firearms were prepared, the nature of this exercise changed from boasting of martial arts at the beginning to deterring the barbarians, mainly to deter Liaodong.
