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

As the first batch of feudal lords, the Zheng family of Fujian and the Zuo family of Southeast China are naturally well-informed.

One east and one west, like pliers, stretched out to the ocean, between the two new princes and the Han capital, there was naturally an express channel for carrier pigeon transmission.

The emperor established a pigeon delivery center in each of the three towns of Wuchang and Longzhou.

Here in Wuchang, there is a department dedicated to delivering letters to them.

The news that the emperor was going to choose a concubine had just been announced, and they had already received the news.

At this time, after layers of transmission, the news had been delivered to Zheng Zhilong and Zuo Liangyu.

The emperor's selection of a concubine is a great event. The Zheng family and the Zuo family have received the greatest benefits, so naturally they will not miss out on gifts.

Zheng, who stayed in Fujian, bought generous gifts and sent them to Beijing by speedboat.

At the same time, Zheng Zhilong also accelerated military operations.

The Zheng family’s plan is very simple—a gift to annihilate the red-haired people!

And Zuo Liangyu...

Since the back ulcer was cured, Zuo Liangyu has become a different person.

This warlord who only wanted to protect himself in the past has returned to his original appearance as a brave and capable general.

In addition to writing to his son Zuo Mengeng, he asked him to find top craftsmen.

Build a ten-pound golden vine and present it to the emperor on the [-]th day of the first lunar month.

I wish the emperor many children.

After that, three military orders were issued in one day.

Zuo Liangyu asked the chiefs to make three announcements and six comforts, and immediately cooperate with his troops to go to Manlajia!

Zuo Liangyu said it very straightforwardly - he is a soldier and only knows military law. If anyone doesn't come, wait for his bloody revenge!

Zuo Liangyu even had plans.

He wants to take charge of Malacca himself! (One of the vassal states in the early Ming Dynasty, between Kuala Lumpur and Singapore.)

Zuo Liangyu summoned his staff to select key locations in the Malacca area and build artillery positions.

The Strait of Malacca channel is only five and a half miles at its narrowest point.

With the artillery in his hands, he can completely block the entire waterway!

Zuo Liangyu knew that his ship was not good enough and he would probably lose if he rashly started a naval battle with the Westerners.

He has decided that he will be a knife!

With the range and power of General Bi's cannon, stationed in the narrowest place, he would definitely give the red-haired man a chokehold.

By then, if the red-haired people don't come ashore, they will be beaten.

Once they get ashore, it's a tortoise crawling on the beach!

Zuo Liangyu understood that he could not directly support Zheng Zhilong and Liu Fangliang, but it was still easy to contain them.

As long as he pulled the army to Malacca and put in a blockade posture, the red-haired people would have to use their few troops to prevent him from stealing their retreat.

Zheng Zhilong already had the upper hand, but with him containing some of the red-haired people, it would not be a dream for the Ming army to annihilate all the red-haired people!

The red-haired people on Brunei Island were completely wiped out, which indicates that all Nanyang has returned!

A big country's surprise attack is so quick.

Just one breakthrough can bring about a reversal of the entire country!

Two years after Zhu Youjian came to this world, the overall situation of Ming Dynasty has begun to take shape.

War clouds were gathering in Nanyang, but Handu was immersed in a sea of ​​joy.

The New Year is approaching, and the emperor has to choose a concubine again - this is a double joy!

The emperor has a happy event, and the factory owners of the Handu business group who have made money will naturally not watch it.

In addition to handing out small gifts on the streets, they also scattered real money.

Various ribbons and flags are customized from various factories.

Civil servants were hired to decorate the streets, and colorful flags were fluttering around the entire Han capital.

With the participation of a large number of merchants, various garment factories in Handu had already been on holiday due to the cold winter and the drop in local demand. However, due to the surge in orders, workers were recalled again.

Domestic demand has been boosted again.

The capital of Han Dynasty was celebrating, while Yangzhou was filled with sorrow.

Dorgon had already raided outside Yangzhou City two days ago.

At this time, Jingui Mountain (Jingui Mountain) was already full of Qing artillery positions.

Yangzhou Hanjiang trading house is located.

The newly built nine-story, octagonal Zuiman Building has been completed long ago.

The roof of the ninth floor.

Chu Xianzhang took a group of young generals and looked in the direction of Jingui Mountain.

It was Zhu Wanhua.

Zhu Dadian's son.

General Zhu Wanhua put down the telescope in his hand, his face was livid.

The hand holding the telescope turned white at the joints:

"Duke!"

He had a gloomy face, but there was hope in his eyes:

“When I came up just now, I looked specifically and saw that there were artillery on the eighth floor.

If we fire artillery from here, we should be able to clear out Donglu's artillery, right? "

"Ugh!"

Chu Xianzhang didn't answer.

He sighed for a while and said quietly:

"What do you think about Zheng Yuanxun's incident?"

What Chu Xianzhang was talking about was Zheng Yuanxun, the head of the Zheng family in Huizhou.

The four brothers of the Zheng family, even if their families are divided, are all well-deserved rich men in the world!

The boss, Zheng Yuansi, has Jiashu Garden and Wangshi Garden.

The second oldest, Zheng Yuanxun, has a garden of shadows, the third oldest, Zheng Yuanhua, has a five-acre garden, and the fourth oldest, Zheng Xiaru, has a garden of rest.

These are the most famous gardens in the world!

As for other gardens that have not been recorded, as many as there were in the Zheng family have long since disappeared into history.

The shadow garden built by Zheng Yuanxun to celebrate his mother's birthday is even called the originator of gardens!

If the Zheng family is rich, you can imagine it.

A few days ago, more and more local troops came spontaneously to defend Yangzhou.

Shi Kefa had no money at all, so it was very difficult to supply his own army!

How can it support so many people?

The soldiers who were short of food and had poor military discipline harassed the villages everywhere.

Although Zheng Yuanxun ranks second, he is the leader of the Zheng family.

Although Zheng Yuanxun did some misdeeds, he still showed the charm of a gentry in a country like this.

He called on Yangzhou salt industry tycoons to prepare money and donate military salaries to support these armies.

however……

The Zheng family was originally an outsider. The Zheng family lived in seclusion in Huizhou for 200 years. As soon as they came out of the mountain, they took the high position of the leader of the Ming Dynasty Salt Industry (National Salt Industry General Merchant).

This naturally made the original salt industry bosses dissatisfied.

According to the record of Dai Mingshi, who eventually died in literary prison:

The original vested interests in Yangzhou secretly incited wealthy businessmen to attack Zheng Yuanxun.

Countless people rioted.

Finally, Zheng Yuanxun was beaten to death on the spot.

(Historical fact.

In real history, Zheng Yuanxun died because he called on Yangzhou's wealthy families to accept the remnants of Gao Jie's legacy. )

From a national standpoint, Zheng needs to be criticized.

——The ancestors of the Zheng family, how much money did they get to allow the Zheng family to live in seclusion for more than 200 years and still be a wealthy family!

However, Zheng Yuanxun died for his country in the end, but he deserves praise!

It was not just this time that the Zheng family contributed money. In the 12th year of Chongzhen, Zheng Yuanxun's fourth brother Zheng Xiaru also donated 1 taels of silver when he won the Jinshi.

Ugh!

It’s what I said again - everyone is not a paper person, but a multi-dimensional creature composed of timeless and countless events.

No one is the person on paper at the moment when the coffin is finalized.
