Buried alive in the Qing Dynasty

Page 382

Chenla, which is adjacent to Nanzhang and Siam, has been on a stable downward path for a long time, and the future is quite promising...that is Cambodia!

And in Siam and Cambodia to the south, it is almost the territory of Tianfangjiao, and it is also the most lucrative territory in Nanyang!

Daming has now set up an overseas province on the Malacca Strait side, called the Straits Province. The jurisdiction is Johor, Batam Island, Bintan Island, Karimun Island, and Riau Islands. The territory is not big or small, but the Malacca Strait It's so congested that the admiral of the Ming Nanyang Fleet is now located on Batam Island.

In addition, the sovereignty of the Dutch East India Company in Batavia, its fortresses and military ports, as well as the sovereignty of the spice islands to the east of Java Island, have also been handed over to Daming.Their commercial houses and merchant properties can still be preserved, but they cannot exercise sovereignty in the east of Malacca (including the Strait area).And the Batavia colony that was taken over by Ming was renamed Zhennan Prefecture!

And around the Straits Province and Zhennan Province, there are seven heavens, including the Boni Sultanate, the Sulu Sultanate, the Malacca Sultanate, the Banten Sultanate, the Malanta Sultanate, the Aceh Sultanate, and the Pattani Sultanate. Religious country... After Zhu Heqi controlled the Strait of Malacca, he accepted the submission of these six countries, but at the same time stipulated the territory of these seven countries - only the land they currently control can be recognized and approved by the Great Ming Dynasty. Protect.

In other words, most of the land in the Nanyang Islands has now become "ownerless" land - the indigenous princes, tribes, and Tianfang sect colonists who control those lands can only become chieftains under the jurisdiction of the Celestial Dynasty.

As for which countries are these vassals of the Celestial Dynasty?It's not confirmed yet...they are all sites to be allocated.

And also belonging to the "to be allocated", there is also an Annan country, a Luzon country, and of course...the southern new continent south of the Nanyang Islands!There are also unowned islands in the Pacific Ocean that have been discovered or have not yet been discovered!

This property is really enough, as many sons are enough!

"Jiaxin!" Zhu Heqi spoke at this time and named the imperial concubine Bei Jiaxin.

"Your Majesty, I'm here." Bei Jiaxin was secretly happy, she got up from her seat happily, and came to Zhu Heqi.

Zhu Hexi pointed to the location of Annan Kingdom, and said with a smile: "Annan has generals and governors, but he still lacks a great king. Why not let Jinger take over King Annan."

"Mirror? Then Yiyin..." Bei Jiaxin looked at Zhu Heqi expectantly.

Zhu Yiyin is her pride. She has a long face since she was a child, and she is also deeply loved by Zhu Heqi...but she didn't expect to become a nerd when she grew up.

"If you want to study literature, you should be the king of learning!" Zhu Heqian laughed, "I also make him an idle prince, but don't make him a vassal and a state. I hope that he can become an Imperial Academy in the future, take over a university, and become a Archmage."

"The concubine is here to thank the sage for Yijing and Yiyin." Although Bei Jiaxin was a little disappointed, Zhu Yiyin was not expected to be a king, so she couldn't help it!

"Yubing." Zhu Heqi then called Zhou Yubing to his side, "Tiangui is also quite in my favor, and I wanted to keep him by my side, but there must be a famous king guarding the gate of Tiannan Kingdom, so I want Tiangui You will be the king of Zhennan, sit in the city of Batavia, and guard the gate of Ming Dynasty for me!"

He is the grandson of Emperor Chongzhen!Shouguomen couldn't be more appropriate.

Of course, as the Southern King of Daming Town, Zhu Yibo couldn't have only one city, Batavia.What Zhu Heqi is going to hand over to Zhennan Wangfu is the sovereignty of the colonies occupied by the Dutch East India Company on the Nanyang Islands. In the future, he will be allowed to enclose some territories in Borneo or east of Java Island.

"Wen Ji, Ah Zhen!"

Zhu Hexi called Li Wenji and Aoi Zhen to the front again, and then pointed to the map of the Luzon Islands and said to them: "I plan to divide the Luzon Islands into two, and the northern Luzon Island will be the State of Lu. Give it to Yizhui (the son of Makoto Aoi), and all the islands in the south will be designated as Song Kingdom, and it will be granted to Yiqin."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Of course Aoi Zhen didn't have any objections, and thanked him happily.

But Li Wenji was a little unhappy, she frowned and said: "My lord, Yiqin is now King Han..."

Zhu Hechi leaned down, put his mouth close to his ear, and said in a low voice, "Wen Ji, you are still young, and we will have another King Han in the future!"

After arranging the birth of the new King of Han in the future, Emperor Zhu turned his head to Qiu Shuzhen and Da Boling and said, "Queen, Sister Ling, the kingdoms of the Fifth and Eleventh, I have already reserved for them...the best thing to do Two copies. But now is not the time, wait a few more years!"

These two are spare tires... They can't be sealed off now, and they have to wait until they really don't need them before they can go to the southern continent to become kings!

……

It was already dark, and the whale oil lamp was still lit in the Longfeng Pavilion on the second floor of the Jiaotai Hall where Emperor Zhu lived tonight.Emperor Zhu, who had just finished bathing, was wearing a white deep coat, with his hair loose in a bun, and his "long hair" was sitting on a grand master's chair.Anu, who was going to bed tonight, was wearing an acacia lapel on his upper body, a pair of silk shorts showing his white calf, and his long hair was loose. He was holding a round fan in his hand. He was standing behind Emperor Zhu and was helping him. "Fan hair" - the whole is a "humanoid hair dryer".

I don’t know if it’s because he often practiced Mongolian wrestling with Zhu Heqian and had eight children together. Anu, who is in his 40s this year, has maintained a good figure, with a "broad chest", plump hips, and a waist It's not too thick, but the long legs and arms are a bit thick... At first glance, you can tell that it is not a "big horse" that everyone can control.But for the "big guys" Zhu and Qi, they are really a good match.

"Anu, can you dispatch the soldiers of Shunyi Palace? Tell me the truth, are they listening to Sebuten Baljur or you?"

Emperor Zhu, who was waiting for his "long hair" to be fanned dry, casually asked about the military affairs of the Shunyi palace. If the Yin family Han Zhu Celing was not counted, all the Mongolian vassal kings in the Ming Dynasty would have to take out some of their troops and hand them over to the six A pro prince.

Although most of these Mongolian warriors were afraid to go to war, Zhu and Qi had to prepare for the worst, which is why they asked this question.

"Your Majesty, don't worry, the chain armor musketeers of the Shunyi Palace are under the control of my concubine!" Anu's answer was very affirmative, "If anyone dares to disobey, there is no need for the court to send troops. I will lead the Shunyi Palace Soldiers can wipe them out one by one!!"

Chapter 882 Magical Freemasonry Strange Tales from a Liaozhai Studio

Anu's ruthless words were not casual. I don't know when the Mongol Khan's Kedun and Fujin became "both internal and external".Not only can it be "used" in sweat tents, but it can also be put on armor and go into battle to lead the army.Many Mongolian Khan kings were worried about this and that, and in the end they could only hand over their inner circle to their wives to lead them.

And Anu has been in charge of Sengge's inner circle since Sengge became Huntaiji of the Junggar tribe—Sengge's father, Batur Huntaiji, passed on half of his inner circle to Sengge , and the remaining half was divided into eight shares and given to the other eight sons.Later, Sengge was killed and Galdan came to power, but he did not annex Sengge's tribe immediately, but actually controlled Sengge's tribe by marrying his sister-in-law Anukedun.Later, the three brothers Anu and Tsengarabutan betrayed Galdan and voted for Zhu Heqi. Most of them belonged to the tribe of Sangge, and some belonged to the Heshuote tribe in the Oirat Alliance (originally annexed by Galdan) , and the inner circle of Galdan who was captured in the Battle of Ulan Butong Mountain all defected to Daming successively.

And Zhu Heyi handed over these tribes to Anu and Cewang Alabatan for distribution, some of them were returned to the three brothers of Cewang, and some were distributed to the Shunyi Palace and the Yin Family Khan.

In the area under the jurisdiction of the Shunyi Palace, there are still many Mongolian tribes from the original Mongolian Ordos Wanhu, Tumed Wanhu, and Alxa tribe (running over from the Oirat Alliance).These tribes were also integrated under the auspices of Anu, and then the pastures and pastures were allocated.

After Anu's rectification, the Mongols under the Shunyi Palace were divided into [-] households from the left, middle, and right, and each [-] households had ten thousand households under their jurisdiction.And all ten thousand households and one thousand households have a general management office.Although these ten thousand household managers and thousand household managers are retainers of the Shunyi Palace in name, they are actually appointed by Anu, and Anu can replace them at any time, and even send people to arrest or behead those who violate his will !

In addition, Anu also took advantage of the opportunity of presiding over the integration of the [-] households under the Shunyi Palace, and selected [-] chain armor musketeers from each of the [-] households to work for Emperor Zhu—these chain armor musketeers can actually do anything Almighty cavalry, although they are not good at anything, but they are especially good at dealing with third-, fourth-, and fifth-rate opponents.Anyone on the grassland who disobeyed Daming these years, the cavalry under the name of the Shunyi Palace would teach them how to behave.The last time Anu was ordered to go to Qinghai to win over the Dalai Khan, he brought these [-] chain mail musketeers with him... The Dalai Khan wanted to resist, but he ran into the chain armor musketeers who had just been equipped with revolvers. He was beaten so hard that he hurriedly dragged Sangye Gyatso to Anu's camp to beg for mercy.

Of course, Emperor Zhu was very satisfied with Anu's current statement, so he smiled and said to Anu: "Anu, let Zhong Chahai and the Bookworm King follow you to the grassland."

"Bookworm King" is the nickname Zhu Heqi gave to his son Zhu Yiyin, who is a few years older than Zhong Chahai.When Zhong Chahai followed Anu to Zhu Heqi's house, Zhu Heyi asked Zhu Yiyin, a top student, to help her make up lessons in his spare time... After making up for her, Zhong Chahai fell in love with the bookworm king.The nerd king himself didn't notice much about it, but his younger brother Zhu Yimei saw it, so he secretly told Da Boling, and Da Boling told Zhu Hechi.

"My lord, what do you mean..." Anu also knew that his daughter liked Zhu Yiyin, but because of the huge difference in their identities, he didn't dare to bring it up—after all, Zhong Chahai is the daughter of the sinner Galdan!

Zhu Heqian smiled and said, "Isn't it good to make cooked rice with raw rice? Anu, teach Zhong Chahai a lesson. She looks very good, has a graceful figure, and is at the same age... It's not like the nerd king doesn't want it." For a woman, he is already a father. As long as Zhong Chahai takes the initiative, don't always be bound by the incompatibility of men and women, good things will happen? Besides, she is a Mongolian, and she is not baptized by Confucian etiquette A woman with a brain, what can't she do?

Moreover, she is now the Queen of Shache, owning the lands of Shache, Aksu, and Kuqa, and has more than ten thousand households left by Galdan under her command. Can't she be the concubine of the nerd king? "

The nerd king Zhu Yiyin has not officially married the princess, but he already has two candidates... one is a Portuguese from Macau, and the other is an Oriental girl introduced by Makoto Aoi.Not to mention the many sexual blessings in his childhood, he naturally didn't pay much attention to the Mongolian girl who was interested in him.

But women chasing men's interlayer yarn!

"Your Majesty, Anu understands!" Anu nodded heavily, "Afterwards Anu told Zhong Chahai, no matter whether it is throwing himself into his arms or recommending himself as a pillow, he must take down the second king!"

Zhu Heqi smiled, got up from the grand teacher's chair, then turned to look at Anu, who was wearing acacia lapel, and looked more plump, his face suddenly changed: "Anu, it's time to talk about the things between us. Bar?"

"We two..." Anu understood immediately, and quickly knelt down to Emperor Zhu, "My lord, Anu knows his mistake, Anu is willing to accept the family law..."

Not bad attitude to plead guilty!

"Then let's go!" Zhu Heqi pretended to be fierce, and glared at Anu.

"Going to... torture chamber?" Anu asked timidly.

Zhu Hechi snorted: "Go to the practice room... I have real kung fu! Let's have a good wrestling competition!"

……

Cultural Hall, Imperial Study Room.

Emperor Zhu, who had fought hard with Anu until midnight for two consecutive nights and finally subdued the Mongolian female wrestler, was not very energetic when he went to court today.Now when I sit in the imperial study to deal with official business and receive ministers, I always yawn... It seems that the physical exertion of wrestling at night is still too great, and I can't do it in the future.

Just as he was thinking about whether to take a nap, the voice of the imperial minister came over: "My Majesty, Honglu Temple Minister Guo Youde and Jinling University Professor Pu Songling are here to see you."

"Who?" Emperor Zhu who was drowsy suddenly regained his energy.

"Guo Youde and Pu Songling, please see me."

Guo Youde and Pu Songling... When did Honglu Temple manage ghost stories?

In addition, when did this Pu Songling become a professor at Jinling University?What does he teach at Jinling University?Is it possible to teach people to write ghost stories?No, I have to ask more clearly.

"Xuan!" Zhu Heqi hurriedly asked Guo Youde and Pu Songling to be brought in together.

After a while, I saw the Tianjin master with short stature leading a tall man in his 50s and wearing a "Confucius suit" walking in.Needless to say, the tall one is Pu Songling who wrote Strange Tales from a Liaozhai Studio.

After Guo Youde and Pu Songling finished their salutes, Emperor Zhu asked, "Master Guo, why did you bring a ghost story writer here?"

"Returning to the Holy Father," Guo Youde said with a smile, "this Mr. Pu is a great talent, just what our Freemasonry needs. I want to invite him to join the group and prepare for the Freemasonry together... Last night, I handed it over This is what the book says."

The imperial minister on the side reminded: "Your Majesty, you approved the summons in the morning."

"Oh..." Zhu Heqi thought to himself, he must have approved it while dozing off.

Thinking of this, Zhu Heqi asked again: "Then why did you drag him into the club? What is he capable of?"

"Reporting to Your Majesty," Guo Youde said again: "He can speak and write, and he is the number one novelist today... I have an old relationship with him, so I want to invite him to the Freemasonry to help make up stories."

"Oh, so that's the case." Zhu Heqi nodded.

The story of the Freemasonry really needs to be made up!

Only when it is edited can those Westerners be fooled!

"By the way, can he write Western fantasy?" Zhu Heqi was wrong after thinking about it, "Oh, there is also Western history and the history of the Yuan Dynasty... Can he write ghost stories?"

The history of Freemasonry is not something that can be written by just any gunslinger!

This is a composite novel of western fantasy plus eastern cultivating immortals, western history, and Chinese history. Even if Pu Songling is a "super platinum", he may not be able to write it well.

"My lord," Pu Songling had already taken out a stack of manuscripts at this time, and handed it to the imperial minister with both hands, "This is the beginning of what I wrote, please read it first, if it doesn't work, I can rewrite it."

Just start writing and submit...

"Let me take a look," Zhu Heqi took the manuscript and asked again, "How many words?"

Pu Songling replied: "More than ten thousand."

Although it is only [-] words, the gold content of those [-] words is quite high...Pu Songling's manuscript!And they are all written with a brush, which can be appreciated as calligraphy works.

Zhu Heqi looked up.The beginning of this story begins with Marco Polo's eastward journey... Marco Polo's identity is set as a plainclothes exorcist of the Roman Church Inquisition. The magic of Eastern King John, who defeated the devil, embarked on a journey eastward without hesitation!

Zhu and Qi quickly finished reading the beginning, and then asked, "Did Marco Polo have an Inquisition?"

"Yes." Pu Songling arrived, "My lord, the Roman Inquisition was established during the reign of Pope Innocent III. This church was elected Pope in 1198 and died in 1216. Marco Polo was born in the Republic of Venice in 1254 in the Western calendar, so there is no problem with the time."

"There is no problem with the time... What about the content of the story?" Zhu Heqi asked, "Can it all match the history?"

"It's basically correct," Pu Songling said. "To tell you the truth, I'm a professor of Western history and literature at Jinling University... I still have a little research on the history of Western Catholicism."

Guo Youde on the side also followed suit and drummed: "Your Majesty, don't worry if you are a nun. Professor Pu is very knowledgeable. He knows everything about the East and the West, so he can make up stories about the East and the West. If it doesn't work, you can ask Philip to help Just wait and see, you can't make a big mistake."

With the help of St. Philip's to help make it up, it will be no problem.Zhu Hexi said heartily: "When the novel is finished, I have to read it first, and upload it if there are no flaws... No, it should be published secretly. And it has to be old, so it looks like an ancient book.

"Okay!" Zhu Heqi asked, "Pu Songling, how do you plan to make it up?"

"Reporting to the Holy Majesty," Pu Songling said, "I intend to make up a story about seeking the Dharma and failing to find it, but the Dharma is hidden in everything in the world."

"Are you trying to transcend the natural law, but the natural law is hidden in all things?" Zhu Heqi asked.

"Exactly." Pu Songling said, "I envisioned that the story could start with the fire magic used by the Western Crusaders when they met the enemies from the East... Marco Polo was ordered by the Pope to go to the East to seek the secret of fire magic. But after they traveled thousands of miles to China, they discovered that the so-called fire magic is not real magic, but the law of gunpowder. And he also found that there are many laws hidden in nature in China! So he found nature Therefore, he suggested that the pope should set up a magic freemasonry, and use business and missionary as a cover to search for so-called magic in the East and West. I plan to write a diary in the name of Marco Polo, Describe what he saw and heard during his travels in the East, and then vaguely add some fairy tales. This will make readers think that magic and immortality really exist.”

"What about the records of the Holy See?" Zhu Heqi asked, "The matter of going east to seek the Dharma is so big, it is impossible that there are no records?"

"My lord," Pu Songling said with a smile, "of course there should be no record of this matter... From the perspective of the Catholic Church, all gods and gods in this world are under their control, and what they can't control is heresy and demons. The Holy See seeks the law from demons Heretics, how could such a thing leave a record? So it is only natural that this Magic Freemasonry finally disappeared into Western historical materials and disappeared without a sound."

Seems to make sense!Zhu Hexi said in his heart: Pu Dashen is Pu Dashen, and the story is well-written, so it is not easy to get rid of it.

He thought for a while, then said to Guo Youde: "Master Guo, what kind of official position do you plan to arrange for Mr. Pu?"

Pu Songling's current university professors are actually "half-official"... Jinling University is run by the Imperial Academy, and the professors there are all "half-Hanlin", so it is easy to seek an official position.But this Pu Songling is old...he is over 50, and it doesn't look like a petty official.It's not easy to be a high-ranking official.

So Pu Songling never got an official position.However, his reputation is still great, so he got this opportunity now.

"Your Majesty, I plan to keep Mr. Pu an official position as the Chancellor of the Honglu Temple, and also the head of the Freemasonry."

Zhu Hechi nodded and said with a smile, "Okay, let's do it for now...Mr. Pu, work hard, Daming selects talents eclecticly, and you may be awarded a knighthood in the future with your ability!"

Chapter 883 The Future Leader of Ming Dynasty

The sound of the whip was loud, and the hooves of the horses won.

It is the rainy season in Jiangbei, and the rain falls from time to time in the sky, which is not very refreshing, so it is always not clean.Even when the rain stops, the sun and the blue sky cannot be seen. The sky is always covered with layers of dark clouds, and the air is so humid that water can be squeezed out.On the great plain with criss-crossing waterways, there is even more greenery, dotted here and there with villages and towns here and there.

On the newly renovated official road on the east bank of the Huaiyang Canal, a group of quite large horses and chariots were walking.A cart drawn by horses is packed full of goods.There is a small white triangular flag with the word "Shunyi" on it.On each cart, apart from the driver, there is also a strong warrior wearing a Mongolian round-neck short-sleeved robe, a waist knife, a bow and arrow on his back, and a revolver hidden under the front of the robe.They all wore Mongolian-style braids, and looked around with their chests and bellies raised.On both sides of the convoy there are two teams of Mongolian warriors in the same costume, all of which are equipped with one man, two horses or three horses.Among them, the one or two horses that don't carry people have large and small bags on their backs, and they know that they are going to go far away.

In the middle of the large convoy was a group of cavalrymen dressed in yellow armor, and under the armor were all purple robes - this is the standard uniform color of the Ming Army at present.And purple, blue, black, brown, and gray are also the only colors that can be dyed by synthetic fuels that Great Devil Zhu can currently concoct.Need to run, but also pay attention to washable, non-fading military uniform fabrics, of course, have to choose from these colors of fabrics.

And the yellow armor on the outside of the purple battle robe shows that these knights are the bodyguard cavalry of the Son of Heaven!

At this time, Zhu Hexi was riding a gray ocean horse, the same tall, handsome, fair-skinned young man with a very neatly trimmed beard, and walked in the bridle behind the guard cavalry. ahead.

This young man is none other than Zhu Yiyin, the Second Prince of Ming Dynasty who was nicknamed the Bookworm King.

He was working as a lecturer in the Magic Department of Jinling University while researching new synthetic dyes-this is a direction that is easy to produce results, and the results are easy to realize!

It can be seen that this nerd king is still very economical.

The only bad thing is that it is easy to be poisoned, and sometimes it will explode... Bright dyes synthesized with "spells" are relatively easy to produce, but most of them are poisonous, harmful, flammable and explosive, so you must be careful when researching them.

So Zhu and Qi have always cared about Zhu Yiyin. From time to time, they would conduct experiments together, exchange academic knowledge, and discuss philosophical thoughts. In short, the relationship between the two fathers and sons is quite harmonious.

This time Zhu Yiyin was on a business trip to the north, and Zhu Heqian personally sent him out of Beijing, and they kept sending him away, the farther and farther they were, all of it was sent from Nanjing to Yangzhou!

At this time, more than ten steps away from the father and son Zhu Heqi and Zhu Yiyin, there were two women wearing long-sleeved white silk Mongolian round neck robes and sunshade hats, riding tall horses to clear the way.

From the back view, the two women seem to be carved out of the same mold. They are both "plus-size" figures, and they have both been trained, and they are not slack at all.

It is midsummer now, and the clothes of both of them are relatively thin, and they have sweated a lot during the journey, and the clothes are wet with sweat, sticking to their backs.

Looking from the back, you can see their vigorous bodies rising and falling together on the horseback, which has a healthy aesthetic feeling.

Zhu Heqi liked it, so he smiled and asked his precious son Zhu Yiyin, "Xuewen, what do you think of your girl Zhong Chahai? You can tell from this look that you have a fertile body...is it delicious?"
