Buried alive in the Qing Dynasty

Page 345

……

Just when Yinfeng and Kong Shenggong were ordered to march eastward and were about to march to the Ili Grassland with great fanfare.

On Bei'anmen Street inside the Taiping Gate in the inner city of Yingtianfu, Nanjing, dozens of fast horses gallop across the wide street like flying.

The roads of Bei'anmen Street are paved with bluestone.The horseshoe hit the road, splashing sparks from time to time.The knights on horseback were surrounded by a thick and strong man.It was the Tsewang Arabutan that "Yinwumu" and Kong Shenggong were going to deal with. His fighting skills were much better than his uncle Galdan, and he was also better than Kangxi Khan and Kong Shenggong expected.

In the past two years, he and his two brothers joined forces to attack Yeerqiang from the Ili and Jungar grasslands, and Galdan had almost no strength to fight back. Kuqa, Karashar and Turpan and other places.And the Hexi Army led by the great Ming Dynasty general Ling Zongjun who sent troops from the Hexi Corridor also seized the territory that originally belonged to the guards of Hami.

The retreating Galdan has now retreated to the Yeerqiang City, the headquarters of the Yeerqiang Khanate, and only three areas of Yeerqiang, Kashgar, and Khotan remain under his control.

However, since Galdan received support from the Heshuo Special Department in Qinghai, and also received arms from Kaitian Mansion in Beijing and Qitian Mansion in Shangjing, there are some signs of cheering up.However, because Ling Zong's army was "jealous" of his military exploits, Cewang Allah Butan withheld the arms sent to him by the Ming court, making him unable to attack Yeerqiang.Therefore, the war south of the Tianshan Mountains temporarily showed signs of stalemate.

For this matter, Cewang Allah Butan immediately reported to Emperor Zhu Hechi of the Ming Dynasty through his stepmother and sister-in-law Anu, and asked Anu to help him to speak ill of General Ling...

Within three months of sending his notebook and his personal letter to Anu to Nanjing, he received an imperial decree from Emperor Zhu—calling him to a pilgrimage!

Cewang Allah Butan, who received the imperial decree, was quite happy, thinking that Emperor Zhu would decide for himself, so he happily left his camp at the southern foot of the Tianshan Mountains, and embarked on a long journey to Nanjing. long haul.But his excitement quickly turned into apprehension, because when he was passing by Hami, he found that General Ling had not been transferred, but had also been promoted to Duke, from the former Marquis of Chaoyong to the Duke of Anxi... See what it means To be stationed in the Western Regions!

This Ling Zongjun was promoted to noble, Cewang Allah Butan must be worried, but he did not dare not to go to Nanjing.Because he backstabbed Great Mongolia Deputy Khan Galdan before, he didn't dare to lean on Kang Mazi, so he could only bite the bullet and rush to Nanjing, hoping that his stepmother and aunt-in-law Anu could keep him.

Hurrying along the way, they finally arrived at Nanjing City, the capital of the Ming Dynasty, in the middle of winter in the eighth year of the Grand Duke.

Sitting on the horse, Cewang Allah Butan just looked around with a sullen face, looking at the newly built tall buildings on both sides of Bei'anmen Street, which looked like a city, and felt a little emotional... This Nanjing is indeed the capital of the Celestial Dynasty. The houses are so tall that they are almost catching up with my royal city in Yili!

Looking to the south, the overlapping palaces and cities came into view, and the momentum was even more imposing. Only layers of red walls and golden tiles could be seen, exuding the majesty and majesty of the Celestial Empire.

Dozens of Mongolian knights were all overwhelmed by the might of the Nanjing Imperial City.They just silently surrounded Tsewang Arabutan, and followed Lama Iraguk, who led the way, all the way to the gate of Bei'an.

Lama Yiraguk was sent by Zhu Heqi and Anu to the Shunyi Palace located in the east of Xuanwu Lake in the outer city of Nanjing to welcome Tserwang Allah Butan. Tserwang Allah Butan and his party arrived in Nanjing three days ago , did not go to the imperial city to have an audience immediately, but first lived in the Shunyi Palace, and then handed over the memorial.However, Zhu Heqi did not summon him right away, but sent Lama Iraguk to announce him into the city until today.

Outside Bei'an Gate, there was a group of foot soldiers standing guard carrying bayonet-mounted flintlock guns. The leading officer recognized Lama Iraguk and who the lama was leading?So he shouted loudly: "The Holy One ordered you to ride a horse in the Forbidden City of Allah Butan!"

Lama Yilaguke turned around and countered Vanarabutan and said: "King Khan, you can bring one of your followers into the palace, and everyone else must wait outside Bei'an Gate."

"Cering Dunduobu," Tseng Wangarabutan called his cousin's name, "follow me!"

"Yes."

A stocky young man who was almost as tall as Tsewang Allah Butan immediately got off his horse and came to Tserwang Allah Butan. This young man was a few years younger than Tsewang Allah Butan. son.After his father died, he led the small number of people left by his father to live with his cousin Cewang Allah Butan.This time, Zewang Arabutan led him to Nanjing because Mrs. Anu had ordered him to choose a young and promising leader from the Chuoros family with a small number of followers to assist Zhu Celing in Nanjing.

Tsewang Alabatan didn't dare to take Anu's instructions seriously, so he chose his cousin Cering Dunduobu to bring him to Nanjing.

Lama Yilaguke looked at Tsering Dunduobu, and then countermeasured Allah Butan said: "Jun Wang, please come with me!"

"Thank you." Tseng Wang Allabtan bowed his hands politely to the lama, and then followed him into Bei'anmen, the north gate of Nanjing Imperial City.

……

The place where Zhu Heqi summoned Cewang Arabutan was formally placed in the Huangji Hall.Because of the courtesy of riding a horse in the Forbidden City, Cewang Allah Butan didn't get off his horse until outside the Huangji Gate, which was already surrounded by guards.All of them were wearing armor and standing upright, carrying flintlock guns with bayonets on their shoulders, with a serious scene.

When following Lama Yilaguke into the square of Huangji Hall, Tsewang Alamtan discovered that some ceremony was being held in the square of Huangji Hall, full of officials wearing various court uniforms.Anu, the stepmother and sister-in-law of Cewang Allah Butan, was also in the square, wearing very formal court clothes, and leading a child, walking out of the shift and walking towards the white marble steps outside the Hall of the Emperor.

Seeing the scene in front of him, Tsewang Alabatan was a little confused, so he asked the Lama Iraguk who led him over, "Master, what are you doing?"

Lama Yiraguk said in a low voice: "The great emperor is conferring the titles of Wang, Khan, Hou, Dian, Nan, Wei, Bangbo, Yin, Zai, Qing and other officials in the Shang Kingdom of the New World."

"What? The Shang Kingdom in the New World? Is it the Shang Kingdom entrusted to Celing Khan?" Tseng Wangarabutan knew that there was a New World, and that Anu's son was also sealed there to become a Khan, but in his impression , that country seems to be called the United States.

Lama Yiraguk nodded and said, "Yes, it is the country that Celing Khan and the third prince are going to. It was originally called the United States, and it was also a combination of one king and one Khan. Now it is changed to the country of Shang."

"Shang Country?" Ce Wang Alabutan was a little puzzled, "Why did you change it to Shang Country?"

"It seems to be because a large Shang Fang Kingdom was discovered in the New World. It was established by the descendants of King Shang Zhou who fled the Central Plains and crossed the sea to the New World when King Wu defeated Zhou. They have multiplied in the New World for two thousand and hundreds of years. Now it has developed into a Dafang country with a population of one million. However, this country has not encountered a strong enemy for more than 2000 years. .Such a Fang country can’t hold back our Ming’s Heavenly Soldiers. It has been conquered by us now, so the United States has been changed to the Shang country..."

Chapter 812 Great Merchant King, Yin Family Khan!

The stories told by Lama Yilaguke and Tsewang Arabutan are definitely two versions of the "Legend of Shang" told by Zhang Ying and Tuhai to foreigners.After all, both sides failed, and of course it is impossible to copy each other.

Moreover, the purpose of telling stories in the two aspects is different. The purpose of Zhang Ying and Tu Hai's storytelling is to promote the threat theory of the business side, which is actually the threat theory of Ming Dynasty!They want the foreigners to increase their bets in the Americas, thereby forcing Ming to place a greater bet in the New World... In fact, they want to start a war in the New World in order to reduce their own pressure.

The story told by Lama Yiraguk was made up by Zhu Heqi himself, with the purpose of raising venture capital for the colonization plan of the New World.At first, he didn't think about making up the story of Shang Fangguo, but only planned to use the gold of the New World as the theme to collect money, no, to collect people's heads.But later he learned that the Westerners had discovered the colonists sent by the Ming Dynasty to the New World, and that "Military Adviser" Zhou Peigong cleverly used "the story of Shang" to fool the foreign devils.So he simply came up with a strategy, revised the script, and added the plot of "conquering the merchants" in order to cooperate with Zhou Peigong's strategy and at the same time add a little attraction to the colonization project of the New World.A place where a country with a population of one million can survive and develop for 2000 years cannot be a barren land with nothing but gold.

As for whether the lie will be seen through...Zhu Hechi is not worried at all.Because there are real golden mountains in the New World, isn’t Fugui Bay just San Francisco?It's all called San Francisco, can there be no gold?And isn't there a California Gold Rush in American history?As long as the gold is real, it's okay to exaggerate a little in other respects.

How can you not brag about being a VC?

In addition, in addition to gold, the west coast of the United States also has very good agriculture.As far as Zhu and Qi know, from California all the way north to Vancouver, Canada, are areas with very developed agriculture.So not only is it not a barren land, but it is also a country chosen by the heavens. It is definitely a good place where you can suffocate your dreams!

But in such a good place, Emperor Zhu would certainly not eat alone.Blessed to share, dream to do together!This is necessary, otherwise Zhu and Qi would distribute their power to the Americas to "dream", and the heroes and princes under them would still keep their power in the mainland of Ming Dynasty, and the balance would be lost.

So these days, the top priority of Zhu and Yu's busy work is to suffocate the dream of the New World together with the heroes and princes... After suffocating for a while, they have to gather people to colonize the New World and dig gold mines!

Let everyone hand over the population they control, this is the most important power!

Because what Daming lacks most now is population!

And the heroes and princes below control many populations through tribes, clans, disciples, and old friends... and these populations are all people with abundant martial arts and a relatively high degree of organization.If they are allowed to expand their power in the Ming Dynasty, it will not be long before they develop into a powerful group in the Eastern Han Dynasty.

This is not what Emperor Zhu wants to see.

Therefore, digging out part of the population in their hands and sending it to the New World to open a colony and dig for gold is definitely a win-win situation that is beneficial to both parties.

Moreover, Emperor Zhu still left behind... Whether it was the United States before or the Shangfang Kingdom now, they are all equipped with one king and one sweat.And this double king is not simply a double king of a mansion, but a double king with two sets of teams.These two teams still belong to two cultures, one is mainly farming, and the other is mainly nomadic.

When the two teams of Wang and Khan face the joint oppression of the whites in New Spain, New France and New England, they can hold together to keep warm.Once the external pressure disappears, it can easily be divided into two, forming the Shang Kingdom with the northern western coastal area and the Rocky Mountains as its border, and the American Khanate with the Central North American Great Plains as its border.

In addition, Zhu Hechi also racked his brains to plant the genes of division for the future Shang Kingdom and the American Khanate.

Since the establishment of the current Shang Fangguo, Zhu Heqi has begun to plant thunderstorms for future division.In addition to the arrangement of one king and one Khan, Zhu Heqi also implemented the enfeoffment system under one king and one Khan, and divided the five ranks of Hou, Dian, Nan, Wei, and Bangbo... these are all ruling lands Lord of Linmin!But they have to enclose this land by themselves, and the people have to pull it out of Daming itself.

According to the conditions set out by Emperor Zhu, the fifth-class nobility corresponds to immigrants from the Ming Dynasty with [-] to [-] households.Whoever can pull out five hundred households is a marquis, and any Xibohou or Nanbohou can be sealed.Those who can take four hundred households to the New World will be granted a title.Those who take three hundred households will be given a baron.Those who can only bring two hundred households will be given Wei Jue.If you can only take out a hundred households, you can only seal a Bangbo.

For those who can be conferred titles, Emperor Zhu will let them enclose land or pastures in the New World... As for where to enclose, of course it is first come, first served!If you go early, you may be able to circle a big gold mine, so let's send it.If you go late, you may only be able to enclose a farm or ranch, and the New World will be for nothing.

And those heroes and princes' children who couldn't get anyone wanted to go to the New World, of course Emperor Zhu also supported it.However, there are no titles that can be given to them, but they can be assigned official positions, such as Yin, Zai, Qing, teacher, shepherd, and order.The rules are the same as enclosures, those who go early get high-ranking officials, and those who go late get low-ranking officials... Of course, you have to pass an exam before you go to determine whether you have this qualification!

As for civilians, if they wanted to go to the New World to seek a title or an official position, Emperor Zhu also welcomed them, and the conditions were the same as those of meritorious officials and sons of princes.It's just that Zhu and Qi are not promoting the "Legend of Shang" and the gold in the New World with great fanfare... It's best to keep these things a secret, lest Westerners quickly increase their troops to the American continent.

It is also for this reason that today the ceremony of conferring the king of Shang and the Khan of the Yin family, as well as the ranks of one king and one Khan, was not done with great fanfare, but was held quietly behind closed doors in the Forbidden City in Nanjing.

When Cewang Allah Butan and others arrived, the king and Khan had already finished conferring titles, and Emperor Zhu was conferring marquises on the people below.

……

"Su Zhanyang from Chaozhou stepped forward to accept the seal!"

With a shout from a loud attendant, a young man in his early twenties, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, came out from a group of nobles wearing purple python robes, holding an ivory wat board, and walked boldly, Walked up to the platform of Huangji Hall, then knelt respectfully on a futon in front of Zhu Heqi's throne, and said loudly: "Chaozhou Su Hu, I respectfully invite the emperor Shengan, my emperor, long live, long live, long live! Long live."

"Hahaha, Ah Yang, you've grown so big in a blink of an eye, alright...you are the son of Su Li, the step-son of the noble concubine, and also the brother of Ah Mei. I'm relieved that you can go to Fugui Bay to sit in town. "

It turned out that this young man was the son of Dadu Su Suli, and Dadu Su was Da Boling's ex-husband. After she grew up with Zhu Heqi Teng, she found out all the children of Dadu Su who were wandering everywhere, and arranged for them. It's all right.

However, because these children did not catch up with the wave of the anti-Qing and Fuming wars, they were not ennobled. Only one young man named Su Zhanhui, who was the oldest, succeeded Su Li's lord and became a marquis, which was not hereditary.

Fortunately, among Su Li's distant brothers and nephews, many people appeared, and they joined Concubine Ye Dagui, forming a huge general of the Su family.

So this time Zhu Heqi asked Da Boling to come forward and choose Su Zhanyang among Su Li's sons to represent the Su family to assist Zhu Yimei in the New World.This kid has just graduated from the Army Academy, and his military rank is only at the rank of commander, and the highest military position he has ever held is only deputy commander.But he couldn't stand him from a good background, and the family power behind him was also strong.The Su family made those people think of their source when they drank water!They all owe Da Boling and Su Li a debt of favor, and now that Su Li's son is going to the New World to assist Da Boling's son, it's impossible for them to support the soldiers and servants more.

A group of Su family generals worked hard to gather together, and mobilized the Chaohui clan who were related to them, and easily gathered [-] households, enough for Su Zhanyang to seal a Marquis of the New World.

"Ayang, your surname is Su, and that Jizhou Marquis Suhu is also surnamed Su. I will let you attack the Marquis of Jizhou Marquis... After arriving in the New World, choose a good place near Fugui Bay, where there is gold to dig. In the local circle, build a Jizhou of the Shangfang Kingdom and give it to you as a fief!"

With a smile, Zhu Heqi took a golden seal of the Marquis of Jizhou that had been engraved a long time ago from Nalan Xingde, the attendant minister beside him, and handed it to Su Zhanyang himself.These Housu families in Jizhou, which have been cut off for more than 2000 years, will be continued!

"Chen Su Zhanyang, thank you, Lord Long En!" After kowtowing again to thank him, Su Zhanyang knelt down in front of Zhu Heqi, and took the plate with the gold seal with both hands.

Zhu Heqi beckoned to a handsome young man standing beside him again, "Third brother, come here."

"Yes."

The young man responded, stepped forward a few steps, arrived in front of Zhu Heqi, and bowed to Zhu Heqi: "Father, what are your instructions for calling your son?"

The young man turned out to be Zhu Yimei, the third son of Zhu Heqi, and his biological mother was the noble concubine Ye Yuling. He was already a young man of thirteen or fourteen this year, and he was studying at Jinling Academy in Nanjing.Although his grades can only be regarded as mediocre, but the skill of reincarnation is really good, so he will soon be able to get an enviable good job.

Zhu Hechi pointed to Su Zhanyang, who was equally outstanding in reincarnation and stepmother recognition, and said to his son, "Do you know him?"

"Of course I do. He's Brother Zhanyang." Zhu Yimei replied with a smile.

Although Su Zhanyang didn't grow up with Zhu Heqi and Da Boling, he often entered the palace and got very close with Zhu Heqi's children, and even under his Da Boling's arrangement, he recognized Zhu Hechi as his master , so it can also be regarded as Zhu Yimei's brother-in-law.

Zhu Heqi smiled and said, "Third brother, before you came to the country, I asked him to help you look after the territory of Fuguiwan... When you grow up in the future, how about you two brothers fighting the world together?"

"Okay!" Zhu Yimei nodded, and glanced at her "Brother Zhanyang", "Father, my son wants to grow up quickly so that he can go to the New World to open up the territory for Ming Dynasty!"

"Okay!" Zhu Heyi said to Su Zhanyang again, "Zhanyang, since Yimei trusts you so much, I will appoint you as the chief master of the Shang Dynasty's residence, and be responsible for building the capital, Tokyo Chaogefu, for the Shang Dynasty."

Su Zhanyang hurriedly bowed and saluted, "Minister Su Zhanyang respectfully accepts the imperial edict."

Zhu Yimei and Su Zhanyang stepped aside with a wave of their hands.

At this moment, Nalan Xingde leaned close to Zhu Heqi's ear again, and whispered in a low voice: "My lord, Cewang Allah Butan and Tsering Dunduobu have arrived."

"Xuan!" While Zhu and Qi were talking, they waved to Anu who was standing on the white marble platform holding his son Zhu Celing and called them to his side.

Cewang Alabatan and Tsering Dunduobu were soon led by Lama Yilaguke to Emperor Zhu. They bowed and bowed in accordance with the etiquette of Ming Dynasty, and then bent over and stood with their backs in front of Zhu He. In front of you.

Seeing the honest looks of the two Mongolian warriors who were about the size of big bears, Zhu Heqi smiled and pointed at Celing Dunduobu and asked Anu beside him, "Anu, is he the big Celing you mentioned?"

"It's him," Anu said with a smile, "Anu wants him to assist us...my little Celing, can you see him, my lord?"

Emperor Zhu smiled and said: "I think it's good, Da Cering assisting Xiao Cering... very good!" He turned his head to look at Cering Dunduobu, "Big Cering, you are willing to assist me... Adopted son Xiao Ce Ling, help him manage the tribes in the New World?"

Celing Dunduobu was taken aback. He was the bravest fighter among the younger generation of Zhunbu, and he was planning to fight in the north and south of Tianshan Mountains, but he never thought of going to the New World.

Seeing that he was silent, Anu said to him in Mongolian: "Da Celing, there is the largest grassland and the largest number of cattle in the world in the New World, and they are all waiting for you to lead the Mongolian warriors to conquer them... If If you are willing to take your five hundred herdsmen across the sea to the New World, I will let you be the Marquis of a thousand households, and then the Zaisang and Taishi of the Yin Family Khan. Before Xiao Celing came to the country, the Yin Family Khan It will be jointly managed by you, Jin Omu and Dugar Arabtan!

In addition, I can also equip your people with the best flintlock guns, cannons and breastplates, so that they can become invincible warriors galloping on the grasslands of the New World! "

When he heard about the world's largest grassland, the most cattle, the best flintlock guns, the best artillery and breastplates, Celing Dunduobu was finally moved.His status in the Chuoros family is not high, and he is ranked behind the son of Galdan and the nephew of the Tsewang Arabatan brothers. It is impossible for him to inherit the Khan throne, and he should have no possibility of mastering the real power of the Khanate.In contrast, it is more promising to go to the New World!

Thinking of this, Celing Dunduobu immediately knelt on the ground and said loudly to Zhu Hechi: "Emperor, I am willing to go to the New World to assist..."

He didn't hear Zhu Celing's call clearly just now, so he got stuck at this point.

Zhu Hexi reminded him with a smile: "Yin Family Khan...Zhu Yimei changed the title of King of Shang and became the Lord of the Great Shang. Xiao Celing took Yin from the Yin Shang and changed the title of Yin Family Khan. He is currently the Deputy Lord of the Great Shang. After conquering the grasslands of the New World in the future, I will be the lord of the grasslands and sit on an equal footing with King Shang."

It sounded like he was very tricky, and Celing Dunduobu immediately patted his chest and said: "I am willing to break my body and bones for Yin Jiahan, and I will do anything!"

Chapter 813 Grand Commander, Marquis Xibo

Seeing Cering Dunduobu, who was as strong as a big bear, patted his chest and declared that he would work for Yinjia Khan, Emperor Zhu nodded in approval, and then took a "Thousand Household Marquis" from Nalan Xingde The golden seal and the edict of Fenghou were handed to Cering Dunduobu with a smile, "Da Cering, I will now make you Marquis of a Thousand Households of the Yin family, and lead all the troops across the sea to the New World."

"Chen Chuoluosi Celindunduobu respectfully accepts the imperial decree!" Celingdunduobu saluted again, took the tray with the gold seal and the imperial edict with both hands, and was officially conferred the title of Marquis of the Yin Family of the New World !

The so-called Marquis of Qianhu of the Yin family is the marquis under the nomadic system of the Yin family Khan.According to Zhu Heqi's design, the Shang Dynasty was a settled farming system, and the titles below were all linked to fiefdoms, and place names were placed before the titles.

However, the Yin family Khan is a nomadic system and lives by water and grass. Naturally, the title of nobility under it cannot be linked to the fief, so it is linked to the number of households. One hundred household guards and two hundred households of Bangbo.Of course, the thousand households, eight hundred households, six hundred households, four hundred households, and two hundred households here are all imaginary numbers, and the real numbers are only half at most.Moreover, Zhu Heqi would not issue seals to these lords, and they would have to pull people from the Old Continent by themselves.

After receiving the order from Cering Dunduobu, Zhu Heqi did not let him leave, but waved at Su Zhanyang and said with a smile, "Ayang, you come here too."

"Yes."

Su Zhanyang hurried forward, walked up to Emperor Zhu, made a salute, and then stood upright beside Celing Dunduobu, waiting for the emperor to speak.

Emperor Zhu smiled and preached to Su Zhanyang and Cering Dunduo: "Ayang, Da Cering, you two are young heroes. This time you each led the elite to cross the sea. In the future, you will be the mainstay ministers under the command of King Shang and Yin Jiahan But you are not familiar with the customs and customs of the New World, and you did not create the situation in the New World. So after you arrive in the New World, you will still be ranked below Zhou Peigong, Li Guangdi, Chen Tingjing, Dugar Arabtan and Danjin Omu... Do you know?"

Su Zhanyang is undoubtedly Zhu Heqi's confidant, and Da Celing is a person trusted by Mrs. Anu, and also Zhu Celing's cousin in name... These two can be regarded as "professionals" of the Great Shang King and Yin Jiahan!Zhou Peigong, Li Guangdi, and Chen Tingjing are at most Zhu Yimei's "outsiders". Dugar Arabtan and Danjin Omu are closer to Zhu Celing, but they are at most two "generations".

Therefore, Zhu Heqi sent Su Zhanyang and Cering Dunduobu across the sea to the New World, in fact, with the intention of monitoring Zhou Peigong, Li Guangdi, Chen Tingjing, Dugar Alabutan, Danjin Omu and others!

But monitoring is not the same as running to take away those few human rights. This measure must be grasped well.

"I understand," Su Zhanyang nodded and said, "I must obey their orders."

Celing Dunduobu also echoed, "I will listen to what they say."

Zhu Hexi said: "I will also make five of them Marquis, and you two will be the Seven Marquis of Yin and Shang. Before the King of Shang and the Yin Family Khan came to the country, the great affairs of the Shang side will be discussed by you seven Marquis."

While speaking, he rushed to Nalan Xingde to recruit students, and Nalan Xingde immediately called five trays holding gold seals and imperial edicts, and stood in front of Su Zhanyang and Cering Dunduobu.

Zhu Hexi pointed to the trays, smiled and said to Su Zhanyang and Da Celing: "This is the imperial edict conferring on the five of them and the golden seal bestowed on them. I will ask you two to bring them to them... Among them, Zhou Chang (Duke Zhou Pei) was granted the title of Marquis of Xibo, Li Guangdi was granted the title of Marquis of Dongbo, Chen Tingjing was granted the title of Marquis of Beibo, Dugar Arabtan and Danjin Omu were both granted the title of Marquis of Qianhu."

Well, there are Jizhou Hou Su's family, and it is not surprising that there are Xibohou, Dongbohou, and Beibohou.

At this time, Zhu Heqi took another scroll from Nalan Xingde, smiled and said to Su Zhanyang and Da Cering: "This is the canonization of Xibohou Zhou Chang as the great commander of Yin and Shang, and the head of the seven princes of Yin and Shang. Edict! The two of you also brought this edict to Zhou Chang, and told him that this great commander of Yin and Shang was the regent before King Shang and Yin Jiahan came to the country. The king of Shang should be able to return to the kingdom... At that time, he can give up the position of Marquis of Xibo to his son, and return to his hometown with rich clothes, and I will make him a marquis of Ming Dynasty again."

Emperor Zhu's words were for wise people.If Zhou Peigong is smart enough, then he can let go of things before Zhu Yimei is in the country, and after Zhu Yimei is in the country, he will retreat bravely, give up the position of Xibohou to his son, and return to the Central Plains to take care of himself.In this way, the righteousness between him and Zhu Yimei as a monarch and minister can be preserved, and the wealth of his descendants can also be preserved, and he himself has no foundation in the Central Plains, and no one will suspect him. It is no problem to be a rich man.

And Zhou Peigong's brave retreat can also make a good start for the rich and powerful in the New World... When the position of power is unstable, they can retreat to the motherland of the Ming Dynasty, and even become a rich man even if it is not good.

After handing over the imperial edict enshrining Zhou Peigong as the Grand Commander to Su Zhanyang, Emperor Zhu ordered the two "Yin Shanghou" in front of him to say: "A Yang, Da Celing, Shang Fangguo may start a war with the Westerners at any time, let us There are still not enough troops there, so you two had better take the troops on board and set off as soon as possible."

Su Zhanyang said: "Your Majesty, the minister's five hundred trilogy are all ready, and they have been gathered in Shanghai County, Songjiang Prefecture. They can board the ship and set off at any time."
