For Chongzhen's inhumane behavior, the vassal kings naturally complained.But who told people to do a monopoly business, even if the price is high, they have to obediently pay out the silver.Fortunately, these vassal kings have been pigs for several generations, and the palace is a sea of gold and silver, and the money for weapons is still out.It is?
It's not easy to recruit troops!
Although the dog emperor's character is a little inferior, but the people still govern the country well, but in just a few years, the people have eaten their stomachs.Even the most disaster-stricken areas in Shaanxi have been properly governed by Sun Chuanting, and there is no longer a miserable scene of starvation.The point is, the common people are well fed, where will the vassal kings recruit troops and horses?
Since ancient times, China has been farming, and one of the fatal shortcomings of agriculture is that it lacks pioneering spirit.Ordinary people guard their own one-third of an acre of land every day, but if they have a bite to eat, they are not willing to leave their homeland, let alone overseas?
Therefore, it took a lot of effort for these vassal kings to recruit some broken households, and most of these broken settlements were old, weak, sick and disabled, and their combat effectiveness was worrying.In the end, I had no choice but to spend money to barely get some strong soldiers.Anhai Town, Fujian, the Zheng family's mansion.Zheng Zhilong was wearing gold armor, a golden helmet, and a cloak of a big red orangutan, looking like a golden door god, shining very brightly.This set of gold armor was rewarded by His Majesty the Emperor, and the whole body is made of red gold.With such gold on his body, he shines brightly, but he can't breathe, but fortunately, Zheng Zhilong is strong and strong, and he worked hard to hold it up.The climate in Fujian is already hot, and Zheng Zhilong, in order to be more imposing, actually put on a cloak of a big red orangutan."
Brother Leopard!"
Zheng Zhilong was wearing golden armor and circled around the room, and said happily, "Do you think I am majestic in this golden armor?"
This is a reward from His Majesty the Emperor!
It's a shame that you still slander Your Majesty for being stingy on weekdays, how much should such a body of gold be worth, Your Majesty is really kind to me!
”Zheng Zhibao praised it in his mouth, but he slandered in his heart: The kindness of fart, over the years, how much gold, silver and jewelry has your special mother donated one after another?
It's almost empty of your private property hidden in the Wa Kingdom, and the Dog Emperor gave such a little bit of gold, are you still grateful to Dade?
”But Zheng Zhibao didn't dare to say what he thought in his heart, and now the eldest brother Zheng Zhilong worships His Majesty the Emperor.I'm afraid that the emperor wants his heart and liver to drink, and this foolish thing can strip his heart and liver and present it, and then feel extremely honored."
Brother Leopard!"
Zheng Zhilong suddenly said, "When we are about to meet with His Royal Highnesses the vassal kings, you are also dressed in a majestic manner, don't lose the name of my Zheng family's water master." ”Zheng Zhi didn't smile at the leopard skin, "What are you afraid of, big brother, those vassal kings are all pigs and dogs, even if they don't wear clothes, this style can stop them." ”Zheng Zhibao is quite unhappy, over the years, they have finally pulled up such a powerful sailor and integrated the large and small forces in Fujian.Their treasure ships were more powerful than in Zheng He's time, and their artillery and explosives were advanced enough to suppress several overseas countries.They are all so powerful now, why should they bow down to the emperor of the Ming Dynasty?
The most painful thing is that she still wants to take this group of vassal pigs to build a country overseas?
Hehe, it should be my Zheng Zhibao to build a country overseas, and when Lao Tzu arrives overseas, he will slaughter all these vassal pigs.Then take his own people and horses, and part ways with the eldest brother, the next thing is to ascend the throne and become the emperor, and all countries will come to the court, hahaha It's very beautiful to think about!
Although Zheng Zhibao was ambitious, he didn't dare to say it, because his brother Zheng Zhilong was a hardcore fan of His Majesty the Ming Emperor.If Zheng Zhilong knew his ambition, he was afraid that he would be the first to kill him.So, forbearance!
Zheng Zhilong said with a smile, "Brother Leopard, don't talk nonsense, these royal highnesses of the vassal kings have been passed down from generations of wealth, and their all-round style must be unspeakably expensive, so let's not be too arrogant." ”Zheng Zhibao said modestly, "What the eldest brother said is extremely true!
”Zheng Zhilong continued, "By the way, big brother, let's go overseas this time, I'm afraid that we won't be able to come back for a few years, so it's probably not appropriate to let Sen'er stay in the capital alone, or not?"
”Zheng Zhilong shook his head and said, "We went to sea this time, which is different from the past, in the past, we also went around the vicinity of the Wa Kingdom, but this time we are going to the hometown of the red-haired fanzi!"
That place is said to be called Europe?
And what else are we going to America, the journey is far away, I really don't know how many difficulties and dangers we will encounter?
I think Sen'er should stay in the capital safely.Uh, Brother Leopard, His Majesty the Emperor also made a special decree to let you and Brother Feng and others send the children from the family to the capital, first, to be safe, and second, to be a companion for my family Sen'er, right?
”Zheng Zhibao almost bit off his tongue, this dog emperor is too ruthless, right?
If all those boys in my family are sent to the capital, how can Lao Tzu build a country overseas?
Zheng Zhibao suddenly understood why His Majesty the Emperor summoned Zheng Sen to the capital and found a companion for the prince to read.In fact, I just want to get a hostage so that I can control my big brother!
The key is that His Majesty the Emperor also gave Zheng Sen a national surname, and his name was changed.People are now called Zhu Chenggong!
Whatever my eldest brother likes, he built an ancestral hall for His Majesty on the spot, and he also went to the ancestral hall every day to show his loyalty, fucking Zheng Zhibao knew that he had no way to let his eldest brother understand His Majesty's sinister intentions, and he had no way to prevent his own kid from entering Beijing.It seems that Lao Tzu Zheng Zhibao can only be the dog of Daming obediently in this life!
Zheng Zhibao's ambition was extinguished, he didn't even bother to speak, he was sullen alone, and he didn't bother to meet those vassal kings."
Big brother!""
My heart hurts again, I can't accompany you to see your guests today, I'd better go back and rest first, farewell!"
Before the words fell, Zheng Zhibao left as if he had fled, his heart really hurt!
Zheng Zhilong only thought that he really had an old illness again, and he didn't care, after Zheng Zhilong was dressed neatly, he hurried to the dock with his own soldiers to greet the distinguished guests!
At this time, the Zhengjia wharf was already full of large and small ships, and the treasure ships were full of all kinds of goods, including tweed, sugar, porcelain, silk, tea, spirits, etc.!
Although the real purpose of their going out is to expand the territory, but people still have to have face, we are a state of etiquette, so we have to salute first and then soldier, right?
Our Daming is out to do business.
