The Resurrection of the South Seas of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 295 Ming History Case

But it doesn't matter if Aobai and Sony come forward to negotiate, and Hong Chengchou signs.

It is true that Jun Wu is joking, but isn't the courtier responsible for it?

As for the words of repentance, what if Xiyi turned against Daqing?
Let it be cold!
Isn't Longjiang Shipyard already planning to build its own ship?

After the Ming thieves are wiped out, the Qing Dynasty's own warships should be almost completed.

Plus the navy officers and soldiers trained by the English!

There are boats and people!

Isn't it all right for the navy of the Qing Dynasty? !

At that time, why are you afraid of Xiyi!
I, Huanghuang Daqing, has a vast land and abundant resources, and radiates thousands of miles, so I am still afraid of mere Xiyi?
Just kidding!

……

After signing the treaty, Brown and Van der Laan left the palace with deep joy.

I don't know when, snowflakes have already floated in the sky.

The snowflakes are getting bigger and bigger, and the weather is getting colder and colder.

But in the Nuan Pavilion, because of the burning earth dragon, it is as warm as spring.

Bumbutai sat cross-legged on the couch, wearing a light gauze dress, holding a round fan in her hand, and fanning Kang Mazi next to her.

Kang Mazi was being held by Aunt Su Ma, practicing writing with his hands.

The fine pine smoke ink was ground, and the faint scent of rosin lingered at the tip of everyone's nose.

The Langhao pen was stained with thick ink, and then fell on the rice paper.

The ink is smudged on the rice paper, and the ink goes away with the tip of the pen. It's just a pity that the thing is a good thing, but the writing is ugly.

Aobai knelt on the ground and opened his mouth to report today's meeting to Bumbutai.

Bumbutai nodded slightly, indicating that he knew.

"We must pay close attention to the matter of the navy. Although the Ming thief is now alone overseas, he still has a heart for the Central Plains."

"For me, Daqing, it's not a good thing!"

What the Qing court was afraid of was not the naval raids of the Ming Dynasty!

The big deal is to move to the forbidden sea!
Twenty miles won't work, just fifty miles, fifty miles won't work for a hundred miles!

At worst, the entire coastal area will be abandoned. If you don’t believe this, what else can Daming’s navy harass?
What the Qing court was afraid of was that the Ming would continue to land and harass the coast of the Qing court, fighting with the Qing army again and again, and constantly making the Qing look bad.

Let those Han untouchables have thoughts that they shouldn't have!
Ao Bai opened his mouth and said.

"Slave order!"

"Now the slaves have called Shi Lang and the others to follow the English to learn how to maneuver a boat and fight in water!"

"It is said that among all the Western Yi countries, the English country is also famous for its skill in water warfare!"

"Their fleet still calls themselves the Armada!"

But Bumbutai seemed to remember something, and said with a frown.

"Aren't the people from Macau Frangji? King Pingnan wants to find Xiyi to help me clean up the navy, so he should be the one who found Flangji."

"Where did these Englishmen and Dutchmen come from?"

Aobai said from a distance.

"The servant doesn't know either!"

"But King Pingnan should have his own ideas!"

"The English country is the number one in water warfare among the Western Yi countries, and the Dutchman is the number one shipbuilder in the Western Yi countries. It must be a waste of time for King Pingnan to find them."

Bumbutai nodded slightly when he heard that.

"King Pingnan is a good and loyal servant!"

Bumbutai put down his round fan, played with a string of Buddhist beads in his hand, and then asked again.

"By the way, what happened to the Ming History case in Jiangnan?"

The Ming history case can be said to be the largest literary prison injustice case in the early Qing Dynasty. There were 18 people sentenced to Lingchi alone.

Even the engraving workers and printers who could not read large characters were not lucky.

There are countless others who were beheaded, exiled, and exiled by the rebels!
Since Kangxi was too young to be in charge, this matter was supervised by Obai.

Therefore, Bumbutai asked how the investigation of Aobai's Mingshi case was going.

Aobai just spoke.

"Report to master, still investigating!"

"Almost all the main culprits and accomplices have been caught, but there are still some who refuse to confess to death."

Bumbutai snorted coldly, a trace of sternness and cruelty flashed across his old face, and he spoke.

"It's okay if you refuse to explain, tell the people below, if you are involved in this matter, let's deal with it!"

"The untouchables in the south of the Yangtze River are all hypocritical. If you don't kill a group, how can you shock people's hearts?"

Obai kowtowed in agreement, and then withdrew from the Snapper.

"Grandmother, Xuanye can't write this word, come and teach me!"

The young Kangxi spoke, and the clear and crisp child's voice made the sternness on Bumbutai's old face disappear instantly.

Turning his head to talk to Kangxi kindly, guiding Kangxi to write big characters.

……

Huzhou Prefecture, the government prison!

There was a lot of humidity in the dark cell, and it was winter, so the damp and cold feeling was quite tormenting.

Rats squeaked, crawled over people, and disappeared among the haystacks.

The inhuman prisoners who were tortured by the Qing court didn't even have the strength to lift their fingers, and could only let the rats scurry around on them.

The entire cell was filled with the smell of blood, and the rotten smell of human body rotting!

Crashing, there was a sound of iron chains rubbing against each other.

A light appeared in the dark cell, and the light shone on Zhuang Tingyue's face.

The expression on the half-dead Zhuang Tingyue's face was distorted by the severe pain, and there was a wound on the right face that had rotted and festered, looking extremely hideous.

The light hitting his face made him feel in a trance that he was still in the world, not in hell.

The door of the cell was opened, and several jailers dragged a body like a dead dog into the cell.

After throwing the person into the cell, several jailers couldn't stand the stench in the cell, so they left holding their noses.

The expression on Zhuang Tingyue's face was withdrawn due to the severe pain, and he asked in a hoarse and dry voice.

"Brother Mao, are you okay now? I'm sorry, it was originally a matter of my family, but it has caused trouble to you!"

The cause of the Ming history case was Zhuang Tingyu, a blind man, because he thought of Sima Qian's statement that "Zuoqiu is blind, but he has Mandarin".

In order to imitate the old things of the predecessors and pass on the name through the ages, he spent a lot of money to buy the manuscripts of Zhu Guozhen, the former chief assistant of the cabinet of the Ming Dynasty, about the history of the Ming Dynasty.

Then he summoned a lot of literati to make up some missing Chongzhen Dynasty and Nanming historical materials, and prepared to publish them in the world.

After Zhuang Tingyu's death, in order to fulfill his son's last wish, his father spent money to invite many celebrities at the time to sign the manuscript, and then found a printing library for publication.

Since the whole south was thinking about the former Ming Dynasty at that time, the content of the manuscript was somewhat politically inclined, using a lot of words that seemed harsh to the rulers of the Qing Dynasty.

For example, when calling wild boar skin, he used the official position given to him by the Ming Dynasty as the governor of Jianzhou, and praised the integrity of civil servants and military generals who died in the Ming court against the Qing...

Poked Manqing's lung tube!
Then, the Ming history case broke out!

Even those guys who just collected money to sign and didn't really participate in the compilation, all suffered!
Mao Yuanming was one of these unlucky ones.

Mao Yuanming, who was thrown into the cell, twisted on the ground, raised his arm with difficulty, and spit out a few syllables.

"Alive..."

Li Lingxi on the side smiled wryly and said.

"What kind of crime have we suffered!"

"Luo Duo, you bastard, you really are a beast!!"

In this cell, except for Zhuang Tingyue, everyone else was implicated innocently.

Just signing the manuscript, the result was sent to prison by Luo Duo, the supervisor of the case sent by the Qing Dynasty.
