Sheng Shi Merciful Light

It snowed continuously for three days and three nights in Tianjing City, and everything was covered in silver, pure and flawless.At this time in previous years, some scholars and gentry who like to sing the wind and enjoy the moon want to go out to enjoy the snow, but they don't want to go too far.In the area with better scenery in Jinjin Garden, the rental business is very hot.Especially those who want to rent a venue after Sijin Garden provides various flower and fresh fruit wines from Nanli, red wine from Hu merchants, and golden and sweet Izumo wine from Linyi made with bagasse. It's even worse.

The Jin Garden contracted by Mou Yu and the others is the best garden in Daxing, and with the honor of Mei Rong, the "God of the Sea", they can get all the fine wines in the world, and people are flocking to them, even if the rent and purchase of drinks are expensive. No matter how expensive the price is, there is no shortage of fans.

But if you have an official position, you will not dare to neglect your duties this year. On weekdays, you will be invited to some garden to enjoy the snow and drink wine. Dali Temple yamen and court officials below the third rank must go out in person to bring people to clear the snow for Tianjing City , Repair the houses of some poor people who were crushed by the heavy snow, and resettle the affected people.And according to Daxing's original welfare policy, he personally went to each household to distribute charcoal money, opened the warehouse where the charcoal was stored on weekdays, and stabilized the price of charcoal.

Not only Tianjing City, but local government offices also began to distribute charcoal money, and some areas severely affected by the snowstorm launched a charity business plan to prevent people from being damaged or even killed by the snowstorm.However, roads were cut off in most places affected by the snowstorm, and volunteer merchants were unable to send in supplies if they wanted to. The imperial court urgently dispatched the imperial army to cooperate with the Xiang army from all over the country to serve the people and participate in disaster relief.

The army dispatched in this way also calculates merit points, and the state distributes salaries and bonuses.At the same time, newspapers were used as a guide for public opinion, praising the role of the army in disaster relief and the contribution of the country; praising the benevolence of the emperor and the virtuousness of the king of Chu; Officials, forbidden soldiers, and common people all benefited in the classic Chu king style.

What's even more wonderful is that Mu Ci didn't participate at all this time, and didn't speak at all. Everything was the spontaneous behavior of Daxing officials, the army, and the civilians.

In addition to the fact that the officers, soldiers and people are united to prevent snow disasters, the 25th of December is the Winter Solstice Festival, and the Spring Festival will be five days later.Both are the most important festivals of Daxing, and they will be on holiday until the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, a 20-day long holiday.But there is also no need for the king of Chu to speak. According to tradition, government offices in various places will not close their doors. Especially the government offices in charge of public security and fire prevention must have on-duty officials to deal with emergencies.

Fortunately, every year, the official summary report is held in the spring, otherwise the court officials will be too busy to die.

Not only in Tianjing City, but also everywhere in Daxing is filled with a strong festive atmosphere, and every household buys new year's goods and prepares for the festival.

Officials from the Ministry of Rituals had to prepare congratulatory ceremonies. The emperor would go to the suburbs to hold a ceremony to worship heaven on the day of the winter solstice. During the Spring Festival, he would go to the imperial mausoleum to offer sacrifices to ancestors and hold banquets in the palace. These were big days.

However, Shuqing, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, encountered difficulties. He was not sure whether to do a big job or a simple one this year, so he specially asked Emperor Deguang in the memorial.

Emperor Deguang was also worried.

Last year's Winter Solstice and Spring Festival was the first time he ascended the throne as the new emperor, but at that time the first emperor had just passed away; He felt that the Heqiu Palace was not very interesting, and it was not grand, but it was run by Jane.

This year is different. The great victory of the West Conquest Army will be awarded on the day of the winter solstice.He got another healthy son, who will succeed him.Ninth Brother stayed in Tianjing City's mansion again, so he would definitely attend.Also, the ninth brother also got an heir.

However, these are nothing compared to General Dinghai's achievements.

Yes, it's Mei Rong again!

Mei Rong, the quasi-king among the nine younger brothers, had already made great contributions in the first battle to conquer the West, and now he defeated the Red Clothes Dashi again. The country was "smoothly" beaten down.

Speaking of which, the Rizhao Country was caught in the sea between Dinghai Prefecture and Daxing Donglu, and its status had become awkward, like wrapped dumpling stuffing.But fortunately, it is a big country, big-hearted and reasonable, and has no intention of coveting the narrow and long territory of Rizhao country, and it still negotiates with Rizhao Guojian as usual.

The problem is that Rizhao Xiaoguo itself, a group of short and poor people feel uneasy, not free, not happy.

First of all, there are many pirates in the Rizhao Kingdom. After many years of happy days of robbing passing ships, even the current King Qing and the former King Qinghe dared to rob, otherwise King Qing would not have been rescued by Mei Rong.

Ten years ago, after Mei Rong, the "God of the Sea", was born, the life of the Rizhao pirates would no longer be possible—this Mei is not only capable and powerful, but he is also ruthless!But any pirate who dared to offend him, either got him killed in the turbulent storm, or was beaten by a group, then strung up and hanged on the mast to dry out as a flag, and he went straight to the pirate's lair for free, some in the Rizhao country Nobles have suffered in his hands.

Mei Rong didn't even have to go ashore to fight to the death with the Rizhao nobles.He is capable, has a high return rate, and has a wide variety of commodities with high quality and low price.He is also generous to let people sail, the fleet is huge, and he selectively makes friends with some nobles in Rizhao, does business with them, and replenishes them at its ports, which is enough to win these nobles and kill other nobles who have offended him.

Gradually, the Rizhao pirates had no living space, so they could only hang out with the red-clothed Dashi, wearing merchant ship skins to find opportunities to do business with the pirates, the red-clothed Dashi ate meat, and the Rizhao pirates drank some soup.Because people in Rizhao are familiar with the sea since they were young, many of them were directly employed by Hongyi Dashi as sailors. Although their jobs were the dirtiest and hardest, and their lives were not guaranteed, they were still better than local farming.

However, Hongyi Dashi was defeated and driven out of the Daxing Sea, and after Rizhao Kingdom was "made dumplings" by Dinghaizhou, life could not go on.The job of being a pirate is absolutely overturned, and the business of many ports that support Rizhao's finances has also plummeted.The Red Clothes Dashi Fleet was driven away. Luckily, the Maritime Merchant and other barbarian fleets would rather take a detour to the newly opened port in Dinghaizhou than Rizhao Port.

why?

Because Dinghai Port is good. Although it is a port of a big country, it can be said to be honest and good in service, and there is the Sea God Army in charge, so it is safe!There has never been an overlord clause, forced buying and selling, shoddy goods, scammers everywhere, and pirates waiting on the way. There is no need to be 12 energized like the supply in Rizhao Port. Otherwise, if you don’t pay attention, your underwear will disappear. It's not too bad, the worst is even life-threatening.

Rizhao country is having a hard time. Hongyi Dashi sent people over, and he followed Rizhao as soon as he hooked up with him. He wanted to cooperate with regular customers to make a big deal and take down the fleet of thousands of ships transporting food and goods from the imperial court. By the way, see Let's see if we can call Dinghaizhou back.

It's so good, it hasn't opened for a year, but this opening, it can be eaten for ten years.Risks and benefits are directly proportional. In the face of huge benefits...it is a fool not to do it.

It's a pity that the information they got was wrong, it was a trap jointly set up by King Chu and Mei Rong.When Daxing native's eyes were attracted by the erratic mole of Xiao Wu, the twin son of Emperor Deguang who was taken away by the King of Chu, and when the conspirators wanted to use the baby's blood mole to make a fuss, Mei Rong secretly returned When they arrived at sea, half of the grain-transporting ships were stopped at Jiugui Port in Chudi. Half of the ships that came out, that is, [-] ships, were warships.

It is a warship equipped with a newly developed concealed cannon and a mobile kerosene bomb throwing arm.The Mei family should be thanked for their contribution. Back then, five hundred of the best ships were handed over to the imperial court to be converted into warships. Fortunately, the warships were not very different from merchant ships in appearance.

Mei Rong started as a sea merchant, she is an old hand, no one can see the flaws when she starts a business with pretending.He bought food and supplies from various places such as Tai Li Chao, and thousands of "merchant ships" with deep drafts sailed back under the "protection" of two hundred Sea God Army fleets.

The boats are all sailing boats, they are not rowed by hand, and they have to catch the tail of the trade wind in the last season of this year to return home.In addition to using the starfish disk he made himself and the chart in his mind to identify the direction, Mei Rong is best at chasing the trade winds.The reason why he is called "Sea God" is also because the unpredictable wind direction on the sea seems to obey Mei Rong's command. He always makes the fleet sail with the wind according to the direction of his fingers.

Grasping the trade wind, it is impossible for the fleet to sail in a straight line, and must constantly adjust the direction by turning around. As long as the general direction is correct, the destination can be reached.

So, Mei Rong pointed with her hand, and the route of the God of Chasing the Wind made seven turns and eight turns to the vicinity of Rizhao Country.

Hongyi Dashi and the Rizhao Allied Forces were worrying about how to eat meat, and this "meat" was automatically delivered to the door. What a great opportunity... Well, the two countries were drawn into a real death trap and beaten to death Nowhere to run.

Where are you going?

In order to get close to the Daxing sea area and rob thousands of merchant ships, the Red Clothes Dashi, which has a limited number of ships, has already allocated half of its troops to exchange fire with the Sea God Army stationed in Dinghai Prefecture.The other half broke into pieces and sneaked in under the cover of Rizhao Kingdom.

After being beaten, Hongyi Dashi realized that something was wrong and wanted to run, but there was no wind to run up, and secondly, there was no flight path—he was blocked by the battlefield in Dinghaizhou, and fell into a situation where he was attacked from the back.

Mei Rong went all the way, no matter who was living or not, "Boom boom boom..." sank the enemy's ship.The troops were divided into two groups again, and the real merchant ship returned under the leadership of his confidant Li San. He brought five hundred warships to join the Sea God Army in Dinghai Prefecture, so that the expeditionary force in red clothes and food could never return.

This is not over yet, this ruthless person surnamed Mei, using the reason of "the Rizhao Kingdom and outsiders want to misbehave against Daxing", used the prince jade given to him by the King of Chu to draft a royal edict to declare war, regardless of the Rizhao King and the nobles Crying and wiping away tears and saying, "This is just the personal behavior of some people, it has nothing to do with the country", and just "boom boom boom..." along the coast of Rizhao country

The reason why Mei Rong's warship is deep is simply because his dear king gave him a lot of guns. With the help of Taili Chao to send food to Daxing, he rented their return ship and secretly transported it to Hetai Li Dynasty. The border area (not really transported to the territory of the Taili Dynasty), waited for Mei Rong's air battleship to pick it up.

Bombing all the way down like this, the family property of Rizhao Country was wiped out.Because the country of Rizhao is a long and narrow island country, except for the inland city of Wangcheng, most of the people who make a living by fishing live on the coast, and all the seaports and relatively prosperous cities are also on the coast.Mei Rong specially picked these places to fight...

There was someone in Rizhao who had studied in Daxing, and accused Mei Rong of misfortune and common people's behavior. Mei Rong smiled and conveyed the rules of his dear king, His Highness the King of Chu, to Rizhao Kingdom and to all neighboring countries.

War belongs to war, and civilians are not allowed to be affected.

but!

If any enemy affects the civilians who are lucky, they will travel thousands of miles and repay them ten times and a hundred times!

The Rizhao Kingdom dared to maliciously plunder the Daxing Merchant Ship—there were only civilians on board the Merchant Ship.He is repaying it ten times and a hundred times!

Rizhao Country: ...

King Rizhao knew it well, so he could only order to rise up and resist, but this order was too late. More than ten days had passed. After receiving the battle report, Emperor Deguang immediately issued a military talisman. King Chu and King Ding put pressure on them. Bei Gong stared at them together, and recruited two designations—the Zhongyi and Loyalty armies, which are known as the Sun's Army in unspoken rules, used the merchant ships that unloaded the food on the return voyage, and transported it by sea to the territory of the Rizhao Kingdom.

The two numbers in Daxing are considered to be ordinary equipment, but they are very sharp in Rizhao Country. After cleaning up, it only took less than ten days. With the Poseidon Army's kerosene bomb throwing frame that can be moved on wheels, "boom boom boom" all the way ..."

The royal city has been captured!

Mei Rong is a ruthless person. He knows some bad things about the Rizhao Kingdom. He united a few nobles who were dissatisfied with the old lord, and held a public trial together. Reactionaries, crimes against humanity, beheaded.He also provoked the remnant forces of the king and wiped out other nobles...

The Rizhao Kingdom became an unclaimed territory, and it was incorporated into the territory of Daxing legally and reasonably.

In other words, the area of ​​Rizhao Country is not smaller than Dinghai Prefecture, and it is another achievement of expanding the territory.

Emperor Deguang was worried about how to award Meirong, and several hairs turned gray.

And Lord Mei Rong, who secretly returned to Chu Palace first, put his arms around his dear Wang with one hand, and teased the sleeping baby in the cradle with the other. Wu laid down a fief! Let's not touch the mole, and walk sideways! Are you happy?"

That's right, the couple dared to be so arrogant, and they had already discussed not to give the little baby a mole. The luck couldn't be tolerated, the little baby has a strong father and father, afraid that there will be nowhere to go?

In addition, Mei Rong did not use the name of the country to declare war, but Mu Ci's imperial edict.Although the imperial court sent troops, the ships and guns that played a key role were produced by the King of Chu, and Mei Rong, the commander-in-chief, also belonged to the King of Chu.

so……

Hehe, to whom does the conquered Rizhao Kingdom belong? It's another matter!

The author has something to say: So, the function of that erratic mole is to stick the eyes of hostile people, thinking that there is an opportunity here, and ignoring the enemy from the sea.After all, in the eyes of Chinese people in ancient times, the sea was not important, but the inland.
