Chapter 370 Dare to enslave the Han people, I will enslave you

Bang!

Fang Shihong threw the "Dibao" which contained the news that Yi Tingjian was punished and threw it in front of Gu Bingqian, the Minister of Justice, and glared at Gu Bingqian and said:

"Look at the good things you did! When the court discussed the development of Taiwan, you were not qualified to participate. You were there at that time. Didn't you hear Your Majesty say that developing Taiwan is a century-old plan? The result was good, you actually regarded it as an opportunity to make a fortune! You won't think that Your Majesty is arrogant and will not notice a small Taiwan island! I think you are getting old and confused. Don't forget that Your Majesty can spend a huge amount of military pay to mobilize the navy to slaughter a city in Japan for the killing of several Ming merchants. Never underestimate the power of the emperor. How many times have I told you, why can't I remember it!"

Although Gu Bingqian is the Minister of Justice, Fang Shihong is like a reprimanded subordinate, lowering his head and not daring to say anything.

It was not until Fang Shihong finished the training that Gu Bingqian said: "What the little master said is that he is really confused and has not disciplined the people below, and has been indifferent to the fact that he has missed the punishment! However, in the lower mansion, he saw the slave Yi Tingjian suddenly die suddenly. Therefore, as for whether the slave was under the name of the lower man, he secretly instigated Yi Tingjian, so he didn't know whether he secretly instigated Yi Tingjian. Now that Your Majesty wants me to confess my memorials, I can only report it truthfully. If you don't know about this, you are even more ignorant of it."

After hearing this, Fang Shihong stared at Gu Bingqian and said only: "Tell your family to prepare the coffin."

Gu Bingqian hurriedly shouted: "Young Master, you won't be like this. Yuan Fu won't speak for us. Your Majesty must be unable to do without Yuan Fu!"

...

"You have read Gu Bingqian and Fang Shihong's self-examination commentary and tell us their own opinions."

After receiving the official comments from Gu Bingqian and Fang Shihong, Zhu Youxiao came to the Political Affairs Hall and asked the auxiliary ministers of the Political Affairs Hall to look at it, Fang Congzhe, Xu Guangqi, Han Yu, Yuan Keli, Bi Ziyan, and Wei Guangwei to look at it, and said at this time.

"In my opinion, they are all deceiving the king! There is no truth in the memorials!"

Yuan Keli stood up and said, and analyzed: "If a small slave had not been instructed by his head, how could a prefect be obedient? How dare this prefect openly and sell smuggled people? Your Majesty, I ask the Minister of Justice and the Minister of Justice in the Ministry of Justice and the Minister of Chongwen Temple!"

"It is too early to draw a conclusion now whether the Minister of Justice and the Zhengqing of Chongwen Temple have committed a crime of deceiving the emperor. After all, there is no real evidence. At present, it can only be said that Yi Tingjian should not believe the words of a slave. Please ask Your Majesty to understand clearly."

Wei Guangwei started talking at this time.

Zhu Youxiao glanced at Fang Congzhe.

He naturally knew that Wei Guangwei was helping Fang Shihong and Gu Bingqian talk, and Yuan Keli was eager to use this matter to punish Fang Shihong and Gu Bingqian severely.

But Zhu Youxiao is too lazy to continue to talk about this matter now, and he did not ask Fang Congzhe anymore, so he went straight to the conclusion and said: "I wrote an order! Gu Bingqian committed suicide and the housekeeper was not effective, which caused the court to suffer huge losses and even suffered endless troubles. Not allowing him to apologize for his death is not enough to serve as a warning! He also confiscated his house to make up for his losses! All the slaves in his palace were exiled to Taiwan! As for Fang Shihong, I will believe his own words for the time being and will not be investigated."

Zhu Youxiao buried enough spies around Fang Shihong, so he naturally knew that Fang Shihong would not ruin his Fang family for such a small profit. Therefore, he chose to believe Fang Shihong. At the same time, it was also because he did not want to use this matter to attack Fang Party too fiercely, causing the two forces of civil and commercial gentry to be unbalanced in the court, so he did not take this opportunity to pursue Fang Shihong.

But he had to deal with Gu Bingqian. Although he didn't know how Gu Bingqian avoided the suspicion he had placed in his mansion, and asked his slaves to pass on messages to the Taiwanese governor Yi Ting to advise him and make profits, he believed that if a slave of the Gu family would not have such courage to instruct a governor to do such a thing, he had to deal with Gu Bingqian, and at the same time he also gave a warning to officials of the Fang Party. If he dared to influence national policies, he would definitely die!

For Zhu Youxiao, the Han people were sold, which really touched his reverse scale.

Fang Congzhe was also tactful and did not plead for Gu Bingqian. He just breathed a sigh of relief, glad that His Majesty the Emperor did not use this to deal with his son.

"I committed suicide and wanted to search the house? This, why is this happening?"

Gu Bingqian looked at Xu Xianchun who came to pass the order in surprise, and thought to himself: "Yuan Fu did not plead for him."

"Yes! Please be as soon as possible, Xu is still waiting to go back and reply to the order."

Xu Xianchun replied.

Gu Bingqian collapsed on the ground, and naturally he did not accept such a result, but he knew that he could not say anything at all. Now that the imperial edict was issued and he would commit suicide but he would not commit suicide, his family would suffer more serious punishment.

So, Gu Bingqian finally chose to commit suicide.

Yi Tingjian was also beheaded.

Other Taiwanese officials were also executed.

But for Emperor Zhu Youxiao, it is not like killing some evil officials to solve everything.

He also had to make some new decisions because Yi Ting advised these officials to fail to implement their duties and even had a counterproductive effect.

Therefore, before Zhu Youxiao issued an order to arrest Yi Tingjian and others in Beijing, he had issued an order to issue an imperial edict to reach the Western merchants who temporarily lived in the opening of Songjiang and Yuegang ports, as well as the public orders of various prefectures, requiring them to buy all the Han people and send them back, otherwise the Ming Dynasty court would take severe measures to deal with the phenomenon of enslaving the Han people.

Zhu Youxiao asked Fang Congzhe at this time: "Can domestic merchants return the common people who were registered in the immigration book and were bought?"

Fang Congzhe replied: "Return to Your Majesty, at present, there is no one yet."

After hearing this, Zhu Youxiao frowned: "This is my edict that is nothing! Don't think that if I don't take the initiative to hand it back, I have no choice. I ordered Xiong Mingyu, the Governor of Guangdong and Guangxiong, to mobilize food and grass, and prepare for war. Chen Xin's unit of the First Battalion of the Navy of the Guards, went from its headquarters in Ningbo to Haojing (Macao), and detained all the external members of Haojing to fill the number of Han people who were bought! The number of Han people who disappeared in the Ming Dynasty will be captured as many as the external members!

Later, Haojing was set up as a pilot site for the new commercial tax reform and a pilot site for the tariff reform. Haojing was set up as Zhili Prefecture, Guangdong Province. Hua Yuncheng was transferred to the position of the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi and the governor of Guangdong. Chen Xinxian also served as the governor of Haojing. He immediately set up a school in Haojing, building an official office and a medical clinic. I heard that Haojing is now all Western churches and Western schools. If this continues, will it not be my territory of the Ming Dynasty?

Tell Hua Yuncheng and others that I don’t want people in Haojing to even know Chinese characters in the future. In addition, if I enforce the imperial edict, if there are Western affiliations in Haojing enslave the Han people, arrest these merchants first! My Ming people are nobler than Western affiliations. Whoever enslaves my Ming people should accept the harshest punishment!"

As he said that, Zhu Youxiao said: "There is Taiwan, and immediately select a new official. In addition, the Second Battalion of the Navy of the Guards will land on Taiwan Island and be stationed in Taiwan. Once you find that there is a phenomenon of Western foreign cities building and enslaving the Han people, you will immediately clear and detain them and enslave them!"
