Australia Dingnan Port.
In the harbor, the Wind and the Sun is a large armed merchant ship.
At this time, this large sailing ship, which looks very tame on the outside, has quietly opened its claws.
Although the gun window door on the side of the ship has not yet been opened, the gunners of the gun crew are all ready to stand by on both sides of the gun.
Even the members of the Marine Company have already put on their cuirasses.
The knife is unsheathed, and the bow is wound.
The armed merchant ship, armed with thirty-six guns, was waiting with bated breath.
On the deck, captain Zhao Tiezhu was holding a clairvoyant mirror and observing the dock.
He was waiting for a signal, this time he had sailed here, not to do business.
On this trip, he was entrusted with a top-level secret mission.
The envoy of the edict has already gone ashore, if Li Zhi does not know the current affairs, and refuses to accept the edict to accept the canonization and appeasement of the Dahua Emperor, even if he shows a little hesitation and resistance, then the Dahua edict on the shore will send a signal to him.
At that time, he will lead his Fenghe Rili to bombard Dingnan Fort, send marines and sailors to land and seize Dingnan Fort, and capture Li Zhi.
Of course, if Li Zhiken was edicted, then the order he received was not to act.
Zhao Tiezhu also didn't want to see the agreed signal, he had been here a year ago.
At that time, it was a desolate place, but when I came back more than a year later, there was already such a beautiful little town here.
It is far inferior to the Central Plains, and it seems to be very backward everywhere, but this is the distant southern continent after all.
Li Zhi came here with those people across the ocean, and it was not easy to build everything here in such a short time.
Zhao Tiezhu didn't want to see the bloodshed here, the change of power in the Central Plains, so let him pass, here is a new beginning.
There shouldn't be any Tang Dynasty and any big Chinese here, only Han people should be here.
"If we really want to do it," Zhao Tiezhu looked at the first mate beside him. said that it was the first mate, but in fact, this first mate was the real person in charge of this operation, and this was a deputy commander of the flying horse. can be called the emperor's confidant, and the deputy commander of the dignified flying horse came in person, which shows that the emperor attaches great importance to this matter.
The deputy commander was a middle-aged man with a scar on his face, and his face was indifferent.
"You are doubting Your Majesty" "Don't dare."
Zhao Tiezhu hurriedly said.
Flying Riding is a place that makes people smell and change, and about Flying Riding is quite mysterious.
Although this yamen is actually a very ordinary yamen on the Shamao Street in the outer city of Hanjing.
But there have always been rumors about flying horses.
This yamen is said to be mysterious and abnormal.
However, there are indeed many mysteries about the flying horse, for example, the flying horse only announced the name of the general commander, but for many officials such as the deputy commander of the flying horse, the name is not announced to the public at all.
Everyone didn't even know how many deputy commanders the flying cavalry had, and they didn't know what officials were in the various departments and bureaus below.
Just like the deputy commander of Scar standing in front of him, he walked with him all the way.
But Zhao Tiezhu didn't even know what the other party's surname was, let alone his name.
When this person came, he was holding the emperor's edict, as well as the order of the commander of the flying cavalry, and the official documents of the imperial history platform and the cabinet, which only said that the deputy commander of the flying cavalry came to handle the errand and asked him to fully cooperate.
As for the name of this deputy commander of Scar, he didn't say it anywhere.
The Grand Commander didn't come alone.
There were more than 100 people on the ship with him, saying that it was a certain marine company, but Zhao Tiezhu always felt that these people were not from a marine company at all, and they didn't even look like soldiers.
These people are even more chilling than soldiers, these people are like killers better than soldiers.
Until today, Zhao Tiezhu didn't know that the mission of his trip was actually possible to kill Li Zhi.
He had just been told the news before the edict had disembarked, and he was shocked at the time.
"Do your part, the sword doesn't need to think for itself."
Scar spoke to him for the first time.
Zhao Tiezhu used to be a naval officer and deeply understood the meaning of this sentence.
Soldiers regard obedience as their duty, and many times, they are asked not to think.
Because soldiers learn to think, they will question.
And the military, whether for secrecy or other reasons, places more emphasis on obedience.
The soldier is the sword, and the sword does not need to be thought about.

The general is the hand that holds the sword, but in fact, the hand is not the one who really controls the sword, but the brain.
For the Dahua soldiers, it was the cabinet that controlled the army, and it was the emperor who controlled the cabinet.
Zhao Tiezhu sighed silently in his heart, hoping that Li Zhi would be smarter.
Emperor Dahua treated Li Zhi well, and he was also very kind to the entire Li family.
For example, this time, the emperor has two hands to prepare.
Now it is the Xuanzhao official who has come ashore, who has rewarded Li Zhi and prepared a lot of supplies for him.
But if Li Zhi doesn't know the current affairs, he refuses to kneel to the Son of Dahua and refuses to conform to the times.
Then the emperor has a second thing for Li Zhi, and that is death.
Since he refused to surrender to Dahua and refused to accept this change of dynasty, the emperor would not leave this scourge again. on the pier.
Wang An anxiously persuaded Li Zhi.
Although the news of Dahua Dynasty Tang really shocked Wang An, after all, he is also an old Jianghu and has experienced too many ups and downs.
Even in his heart, he had actually expected this day to come.
Zhang Chao even dared to abolish Li Shimin, so why didn't he dare to abolish Chengqian Since Zhang Chao has the prestige and ability to represent Tang, why doesn't he do it When the dust settled, I felt a sense of relief in my heart.
Anyway, they are already banished from the wild continent of Australia, so there is not much difference between the courtiers of the Tang Dynasty and the courtiers of Dahua, not to mention that Zhang Chao has shown so much kindness, no matter whether his kindness is hypocrisy or true goodness, Wang An thinks that there is no need to be too serious.
Li Zhi turned a deaf ear.
Kneeling on the ground, crying for a long time.
"Datang, dead."
The edict official just stood aside quietly, and he didn't urge Li Zhi again.
Encountering the great changes in this family and country, Li Zhi is still so young, it will definitely take some time.
"Your Highness."
Wang An whispered admonishment.
People are under the eaves and have to bow their heads.
Li Zhi stood up, walked to the messenger, grabbed the edict with one hand, opened it and read it.
Suddenly laughed.
"Zhang Chao is so generous, he is so coy, phew."
Li Zhi spat at the edict, then tore it hard, tore it to pieces, and then threw it to the ground and trampled on it with his feet.
The edict officer looked at it with a cold face.
All this seems to be expected.
It was Wang An, when Li Zhi called out Zhang Chao's name, his face had changed greatly.
In this era of imperial power, the emperor's name cannot be shouted indiscriminately, and must be avoided.
Even when the emperor's name is written, he must avoid it, let alone shout his name so openly.
Even if it is an ordinary person, it is quite impolite to call the emperor by name, let alone call the emperor's name like this.
Just this sentence, if the emperor wants to investigate, he can do a big crime of disrespect or even bullying the king, Li Zhi has nine lives that are not enough to die.
Li Zhi didn't care about it anymore.
"I, Li Zhisheng, am a person from the Tang Dynasty, and I am a ghost of the Tang Dynasty when I die.
Even if you are a ghost, you will not be a ghost of other countries.
A little fame and false profit just want to buy me, let Zhang Chao dream. ” The edict proclaimed officer bent down and picked up the edict, which was no longer presentable.
"Li Zhi."
He also called him by his first name.
"Do you know how precious these edicts are, in fact, you have to think about it, throughout the ages, how many new dynasties have been able to treat the clans of the previous dynasty as well as His Majesty today.
Don't say anything else, let's just talk about your Li family, how you treated the Yang family at the beginning. ” "Your Majesty is so benevolent and righteous, so kind to the Li family, this edict is a priceless treasure.
But you abandoned it like grass shoes, which is really a pity. ” "Phew, Lao Tzu is not rare.
I'd rather be a Tang dog than a Hua Dynasty person. ” "Li Zhi, this official forgives you for being impulsive, and can give you a chance to repent."
Li Zhi smiled coldly.
"Isn't it just a life, do you think I'll be rare, take it if you want, don't be coy.

I am so kind and hypocritical today, I am afraid that it will not be long before I will die. ” Although the edict official gave him opportunities again and again, and Wang An also persuaded him bitterly, Li Zhi didn't care at all.
There is no greater mourning than death.
The Tang Dynasty died, and Li Zhi didn't want the rest of his life to become a person who had lost his country, and was forever exiled in this foreign land.
"Thief Zhang, I curse you not to die well" Li Zhi pulled out the long sword at his waist, which was originally a noble sword, more of a ceremonial sword.
The edict officer took a few steps back, and the guards guarding him immediately drew their swords to block the front.
Li Zhi laughed a few times and put the sword on his neck.
"Your Highness, don't" Wang An exclaimed to grab the sword.
But Li Zhi had already made up his mind, and he used a force.
The sharp sword sliced open the carotid artery, blood spurted out, the sword slipped off, and Li Zhi fell to the ground.
Wang An was a step too late, he hugged Li Zhi, reached out to press his neck, and wanted to suppress the bleeding mouth.
But he couldn't hold it down, and blood gushed out, and soon his hands stained his clothes red.
The edict officer stretched out his hand to push the guards away and stood there looking at Li Zhi.
"Li Zhi, why do you have to do this?"
Li Zhi's eyes widened, "I hate Zhang Chao, and I hate Cheng Qian even more, he can't see through this usurper with wolf ambitions, he lost the Tang Dynasty."
I hate to slash the old thief, and I can't go back to the Central Plains to kill this thief in this life, but it's better to end myself, I Li Zhi in this life, only for the people of the Tang Dynasty, and never be his minister of the thief. ” "Zhang thief, don't die well" Li Zhi raised his arms and shouted, his voice slowly weakening.
Wang An shouted to the doctor.
But the edict officer raised his hand and stopped those who were about to call the doctor with his eyes.
"Li Zhi is cut off from the people, such a disloyal and unfilial person, what's the use of saving him, just follow his will, let him go."
Wang An begged bitterly, but the messenger ignored him.
He watched as Li Zhi's breath gradually disappeared, and finally his body became cold, becoming a lifeless corpse.
The edict officer personally examined Li Zhi's body and found that he was indeed dead.
He let out a long sigh and stood up to look around.
"The Duke of Australia, Li Zhi, committed suicide, and Australia has no heirs to inherit, and it is divided according to the system.
I declare that from now on, Australia will be under the control of the Dahua Imperial Court, and you may have any opinions."
Wang An hugged the body of his son-in-law Li Zhi and wept.
On the wharf, the Australian people, who were originally happy because of the arrival of the Central Plains ships, bowed their heads and were silent.
When the edict officer asked the third time, someone knelt down.
Then more and more people knelt down, and in the end, only Wang An was left and sat on the ground with Li Zhi in his arms.
The edict official's gaze swept over, and he stayed on Wang An and Li Zhi for a moment, and then turned around.
He looked at the Australian people kneeling all over the dock and nodded with satisfaction. t1706231537:
