Daming: I asked you to hang yourself, but I didn’t ask you to rebuild the Ming Dynasty

As such...

The flight of military households became the main theme of the Ming Dynasty.

I can’t even eat, and I won’t run away…

Waiting to starve to death?

The root cause is that in the early years of Yingzong, the civil servant group took away the national granary!

It was precisely because of this that the Southern Ming Dynasty had an advantage on paper, but it did not form a second Southern Song Dynasty.

Of course, the biggest reason is that the gentry within the system have not been eliminated!

This is also the reason why Yongli, the emperor with the least resources, still stabilized the situation.

——Because Yongli relied on the remnants of Zhang Xianzhong.

……

Fortunately, Lingshanwei is close to the sea.

(Note: On the Huangdao side of Qingdao today, there is also Lingshanwei Street.)

A fugitive military household like Zuo Tuzi can still support his family as a fisherman.

I have seen some of the old wooden boats of Qingdao fishermen with my own eyes during my two and a half years at the two shipyards in Nanbeitun, Huangdao.

It's right at the Golden Beach. Walking northeast along the Golden Beach, it's where the local fishermen go to sea.

The traditional fishing boats here are made of whole wood, sandwiched between wooden boards, and bent.

This was taken at Golden Beach

In other words, when the bow of a fishing boat made of a whole piece of wood hits a wooden warship of this era head-on, it will be extremely powerful.

What's more, Liu Fangliang, who was specifically responsible for anti-smuggling, was extremely rich when the emperor allocated him the profits from anti-smuggling.

In order to arm these fishing boats, Liu Fangliang spent his own money to replace most of the fishing boats with steel ram heads!

It's as sharp as the head of a dragon boat, and can easily tear apart the bird boat's hull.

Coincidentally, as the dense fog dissipated, the breeze on the sea gradually became stronger.

The fishing boat with full sail is as fast as lightning.

The moment Zuo Baldy and his brothers jumped into the sea——

"boom!"

There was a thunderous roar!

The fishing boat slammed into the bird boat.

The sharp collision tore open the bird ship's hull.

The breaking of one point brings about a chain effect.

The huge kinetic energy caused the entire front half of the fishing boat to penetrate.

next moment.

Under the interaction of forces, the fishing boat completely fell apart and turned into driftwood, floating on the sea.

It left a hole bigger than the Eight Immortals Table!

Raging seawater poured into the cabin.

The gurgling bubbles are as big as a washbasin...

Even Chinese ships—waterproof cabins had become common as early as the Tang Dynasty—couldn’t withstand such a big hole!

With the influx of large amounts of seawater, the entire bird ship has lost its balance!

The scene of the ship's side being smashed was not seen by Zuo Baldy and his brothers who were rushing to escape in the sea.

However, the fishing boat that had rushed forward and the fishermen standing on the bow of the boat, preparing to collide, all saw it!

"You bastard Zuo Baldy is one step ahead of me!"

Someone started cursing.

However, while he was cursing, his lips were smiling.

That smile can't be stopped no matter what.

Smoothly, he untied the sail.

No need to hit again...

"Isn't that right? We discovered a smuggling ship together.

Then we ran away separately, preparing to report to General Liu.

result!

This bastard is desperate for his life. He goes through other people's fleets and insists on returning a stick of incense before me.

Just like that, this bitch got a swarm of bees.

And I only have the reward of a big gun! "

A man with freckles on his face raised his gun.

The man was filled with anger and shouted:

“What a bastard, why did you invite me to have a drink later to apologize?

Am I someone who skips a drink? "

This fisherman surnamed Zhu, who was "lucky to lose" Zuo Baldy, loudly scolded Zuo Baldy to the fishermen left and right...

Someone around said:

"You Zhu Mazi, you are not someone who misses a meal of wine, you are someone who can't bear to part with a peanut!"

"Hahahaha!"

The crowd laughed.

The man was not upset and argued to himself:

"What do you know?

There are four ways to eat peanuts, do you know? "

"Know!"

Everyone said in unison:

"One, eat with others!

Second, use words to bully others into asking for food!

Third, take advantage of weddings and funerals to sneak in and eat!

Fourth, relying on their clan status, they come to the door and write inscriptions and force them to eat! "

There was a young man who was ignorant and exposed his scars and said:

"General Zhu, you said you are from the clan.

Why did you go to He's house and steal peanuts a few years ago, and you were hung up and beaten? "

"Hahahaha!"

Everyone laughed even more heartily.

There is a cheerful atmosphere among the fishing boats.

Zhu Mazi's eyes widened:

"You're such an ignorant kid, why are you so slanderous about someone's innocence?"

The fisherman, who still had a childish look on his face, smiled:

"General Zhu, why did you taint your innocence?

Can I fake what I saw with my own eyes? "

Zhu Mazi's face flushed. Because of his weight loss, the veins on his face were particularly obvious. The blood vessels stood up on his face, like earthworms crawling up.

Youzi argued:

"That can't be considered stealing, I left a message...

Besides, the inscription is exchanged for stuttering...

Can the affairs of the Zhu family be considered stealing? "

Then came words that were difficult to understand and left the fishermen scratching their heads.

There are things like "the ancestors of the vassal thought they were fences", "the ancestors established regulations to ban the vassals", "Hongzhi lost his power", "the official colluded with the clan's yamen to steal his own salary" and so on...

Everyone didn't understand, they just thought they heard a joke...

Some people even thought that Zhu Mazi was talking nonsense.

Relatives of the royal family...

How could you be so poor!

Those are relatives of the emperor!

Don't look at this guy having a boat now...

They were all from the same place, but they knew that the fishing boat Zhu Mazi had at this time was given to him by General Liu Fangliang!

Before, Zhu Mazi was a poor person!

Not to mention the boat, there are no doors or windows in the house.

Even, you don’t even need to hang the door curtain!

Because - even if a thief went to his house, he would still tearfully leave behind a few pieces of steamed buns that came to someone else's house...

I have never seen such poor people!

The beggar still has a broken bowl!

Could such a poor person be a member of the clan?

All the beggars are richer than him!

……

Zhu Mazi is really a clan member.

He is a member of the Lu clan.

That is, the descendant of King Lu who was fooled into rebelling.

He is the sixth-generation descendant of Lu Wang Zhu Tan, the tenth son of Taizu of the Ming Dynasty, and the seventh-generation grandson of Emperor Taizu.

He is of the "" generation.

His full name is Zhu Ma, but it's not in the clan roster, so he can only be called Zhu Ma.

Because he had some freckles on his face, he was called Zhu Mazi.

This guy's seniority is very high!

It was none other than the current King of Lu, Zhu Yihai - Grandpa Shushutang.

Even if he restored the clan roster and called the emperor "great-great-grandson", Zhu Youjian would have to hold his nose to recognize it!

Because, according to the genealogy, this person is Zhu Youjian's great-great-grandfather!

Killing the Nine Tribes is this picture.

However, as the seventh generation grandson of Zhu Yuanzhang, he has long been unable to gain fame.

Even his grandfather's generation, the fifth generation grandson, didn't get it...
