Daming iron-blooded Chief Assistant

Chapter 195 Establishment and Extermination of Slaves

With the defeat of the Tokugawa shogunate, it brought great shock to maritime merchants everywhere.

Maritime merchants who originally relied on the Ming and Japanese trade had to find a new way out, especially the Dutch ghosts who had already occupied the big officials and wanted to monopolize the Ming and Japanese.

Except for Dengzhou Port and Laizhou Port, which allow trade, the navy has completely blocked the northern waters, and any ships entering the waters of North Korea's Wa Kingdom will be detained by the navy.

The navy is also actively expanding its patrolling waters, and successively established bases in Ryukyu after the restoration of the country and in the north of Ohara.

Now if you want to enter the waters in the north of Ming Dynasty, you must have the flag issued by the Dengzhou Shipping Department, otherwise you will be identified as a pirate and be attacked by the navy.

The Dengzhou Shipping Department requires every ship entering the port of Dengzhou to pay customs duties according to its carrying capacity, once entering the port and once leaving the port.

Grain entering Dengzhou Port is tax-free, and Taiping’s grain warehouse will be purchased at a price higher than the market price. Many sea merchants bring grain to Dengzhou from Jiangnan in exchange for high-value goods such as glass and clocks.

The ghosts from all over the world who have always wanted to open the Daming market are also loaded with food and come to Dengzhou to exchange for tea, porcelain, cotton cloth, etc.

Among them, the British and Dutch ghosts are the most active, constantly mobilizing ships to Dengzhou Port for trade, and the income of the Dengzhou Shipping Department has also exceeded the million mark in the five years of Tianqi.

In October of the fifth year of the apocalypse, Zhang Zongxian launched the final lore against Jiannu, and divided his troops into two groups to besiege Hetuala.

Ye Zhupi was already dying of illness at this time, and only Dorgon was with him, and the other sons had been beaten to death on the battlefield by the Legislative Army.

At this moment, changing from the domineering past, Wild Boar Piyu explained to Dorgon:
The people sent to bribe the ministers of the Ming court have returned. The Ming court does not accept their surrender at all now, and must destroy them. Now there is no way out.

In order not to exterminate the clan, let him change his name and surname to hide in the deep mountains and old forests with his clansmen, save his life first, and wait for the opportunity to make a comeback.

I will bring the Eight Banners to defend Hetuala to the death. Presumably, after the Ming army gets his head, they will definitely not be wasted in this poor mountain and evil water.

After the confession, Dorgon was asked to flee with his tribe before the Ming army came over.

Zhang Zongxian personally led the troops to set off from Sarhu, and killed all the Jiannu tribes they encountered along the way.

After Hetuala was surrounded by the Ming army, Yezhupi was still thinking about making a last-ditch attempt to bribe Zhang Zongxian.

Facing the envoys of Jiannu, Zhang Zongxian told them that he came here to exterminate Jiannu, and directly ordered the attack on the city in front of the envoys.

After using rockets to bombard them in turn, the Legislative Army soldiers launched an attack with bayonets. After occupying the city wall, they pulled the cannons up the city wall and continued to bombard the Jiannu who were hiding in the city and intended to fight the Legislative Army in the streets.

After destroying all the buildings in the city, the Legislative Army came down from the city wall and continued to attack.

The wild boar skin who was hiding, saw that the Legislative Army had finally entered the city, so he took the last remnant of the Eight Banners, and wanted to draw a few Ming troops to his back before he died.

This extravagant hope was torn to pieces by the cannonballs fired by the Ming army. In the end, I originally wanted to send the wild boar skin carcass to the capital, but I couldn't get all the parts together after a long time.

For those Jiannu who fled into the deep mountains, Zhang Zongxian asked all the advance bases in Liaodong to continue to strengthen the blockade, and not allow a grain of rice or salt to fall into the hands of Jiannu.

It is also necessary to organize people to enter the mountains from time to time to encircle and suppress Jiannu, and to issue a reward. A Jiannu's head can be exchanged for five taels of silver.

After destroying Heratura, Zhang Zongxian made a speech in the internal journal of the Legislative School.

First of all, I would like to thank all the disciples of the school for their dedication. The elimination of the wild boar skin is only the beginning of the revival of the Han people. Next, they will face unprecedented natural disasters.
At the same time, they have to compete with another civilization. They are more cruel and unscrupulous. The two sides are fighting to the death.

Ask the disciples not to relax and keep their mission in mind.

The reason for giving a speech is to appease the growing ambitions of the disciples of the school. Now that the Legislative Army has obvious military advantages, the disciples of the Legislative School who received the education of the previous life are becoming more and more intolerable in the face of the incompetent bureaucracy.
The investigation department reported more than once that the disciples of the school gathered together and wanted to elect Zhang Zongxian as the emperor. For this reason, many disciples had been warned. For these disciples, Zhang Zongxian arranged for them to go to Dongsheng Shenzhou to establish a settlement.

In the twelfth lunar month of the fifth year of Tianqi, the news of success spread to the capital, and those who arrived in Beijing together also had a secret performance that was played directly to Tianqi.

In the secret performance, Zhang Zongxian said that all the seven guards have been recovered, and the temple of Emperor Zhenwu is about to be built, and now it is only necessary to seal the wolf and the snow demon completely.

The last step is more complicated, and Zhang Zongxian has to bring someone to do it in person, and it has to be done on the sixth day of May next year. In order to completely seal the snow demon, Tianqi needs to appoint him as the chief minister of Ming Dynasty, and make it known to the world.

With Zhang Zongxian in the name of the Chief Assistant Minister, he was able to mobilize the Great Ming Dynasty to seal the Snow Demon, and at the same time, to prevent the Snow Demon from fighting trapped beasts.

It is necessary for Tianqi to lead the civil and military officials to the vicinity of Wang Gongchang on the same day, which is the most angry place in the capital, and the magic power of the snow demon will not be affected.

And at that time, Zhang Zongxian can also transfer the divine power of Emperor Zhenwu to treat Tianqi's root cause of the disease left by falling into the water, so that Tianqi can live healthy and healthy until he is 99 years old.

Just wait for Tianqi to lead the civil and military officials of the fifth rank and above, as well as nobles, to read the scriptures of Emperor Zhenwu aloud there, and to support Zhang Zongxian to seal the snow demon in Langjuxu Mountain.

Tianqi didn't suspect anything after watching the secret performance?On the other side of Wang Gong's factory is the Gunpowder Bureau, which must be the most angry place in the capital.

Sealing Xueyo can also treat his illnesses. Although Zhang Zongxian said that he can live to be 99 years old, Tianqi is a little dissatisfied, but he also knows that few emperors live to be a hundred years old.

After the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, Apocalypse issued a decree to announce to the world that Zhang Zongxian was appointed as the first minister of the cabinet.
At this time, after Wei Zhongxian liquidated Donglin last year, Yang Lian, Zuo Guangdou, Yuan Huazhong, Wei Dazhong, Zhou Chaorui, Gu Dazhang and other ministers were arrested and imprisoned, and Shangshu Zhao Nanxing was dismissed from office.

Everyone in the court is now Wei Zhongxian's henchmen. For the largest eunuch party, Zhang Zongxian became the first assistant minister after the suppression of Liaodong, and everyone in the court takes it for granted.

As for how indignant the scholars in the south of the Yangtze River were, and how they arranged Zhang Zongxian's bad words, they could not affect Zhang Zongxian's ascension to the position of chief assistant minister.

In order to further lower Tianqi's vigilance, Zhang Zongxian began to pretend to arrange the funeral, constantly asking for rewards from his son, and pretending to write letters saying that the day he sealed the snow demon was his deadline.

He also wrote a lot of suggestions for governing the country to Tianqi, and recommended his disciples, showing that his life is not long.

The eunuchs who oversaw the army also gave feedback to Tianqi that Zhang Zongxian now depends on ginseng to hang his life, and he carried it all the way to Langjuxu.
