"The father was named as a king in a wealthy place like Barcelona because of his high generation and his relatives. Because he was young, he made meritorious in a siege against the Eastern Barbarians. But the King of Ningxi not only did not distinguish between Han and Hu, but actually killed the officials who went to negotiate with him. No matter what, Dong Hanchen said, he was a member of the Emperor's Army of the Emperor and a senior official of the court who had military merits. He was cut off his head by his Western Yi soldiers. If my spy had not stolen Dong Gong's body, I would not have been sure of this."

After Zhu Cizhuo waited for Zhu Ciwei and others to enter the city of Toulouse, he informed Zhu Ciwei and his group of people about his anger.

Bang!

"Damn, the King of Ningxi is crazy about gains and losses. He dares to kill officials in the court. Do you know what the imperial rank says in the law of the country? Whoever is suspected of intentional killing Han people will be punished! Including the vassal lords!"

Zhu Yihai punched the table on the spot.

"This is indeed too much. It is true that the Fifth Prince is angry about this. I was very angry when I thought about it. Where did he put the court in this way?"

Zhu Youlang followed.

Zhu Ciwei said at this time: "This is not something that King Ningxi can do. It should be that the Western nobles he used to do this behind his back, and even intended to force him to oppose the court in this way! But no matter what, the root of everything is that King Ningxi Han and Hu did not distinguish between them, and actually used Western barbarians, which led to the Western barbarians killing us, Han and even heroes of Han people. If it were not for him, the vassal king, there would be no Western barbarians who would have this opportunity!"

"Brother is right, it is caused by the inseparable relationship between Han and Hu. Gong Dong was not killed in the battlefield, which was considered a loss to the court! This account must be settled!"

Zhu Cizhuo replied.

Zhu Ciwei nodded and said, "Since the Ningxi Kingdom has begun to eat away from his territory, we cannot stay here for a long time. We should send troops to Barcelona as soon as possible!"

"Since that's the case, brother, I will take you to see the airport. During the rest period, we have built many airports in Western Europe under the will of the court. The aviation brigade of your Imperial Army will not worry about not being able to send it to you."

Zhu Cizhuo said at this time.

Zhu Ciwei said, "This is great! Our imperial army is only responsible for rectifying the vassal state, so the way of fighting is to directly take the lord of the country. If the lord of the country is taken, he will naturally directly attack the capital first. We call it the beheading operation. Zhu Changzen may be the first vassal lord we have killed."

A few days later, Zhu Ciwei ordered the imperial army to take beheading the Ningxi Kingdom.

So, the navy fleet of the Imperial Army, who was ordered to set out from the Baltic Sea to the Mediterranean, set out to Barcelona first.

At the same time, the Royal Army's aviation brigade also flew from the airport in Toulouse to Barcelona, ​​and patrolled and investigated along the way.

Zhu Ciwei and a group of vassal kings personally led the army along the coast to Barcelona.

Although Zhu Ciwei did not have much experience in leading troops, the imperial army he led was all carefully selected by the various armies, using cutting-edge weapons from the Ming Dynasty, and the purpose was to use its vassal lords, control its vassal states, and rectify its vassal states, and naturally they did not require much command ability.

So, next, Zhu Ciwei was extremely easy on the way to Barcelona.

...

"Who asked you to kill them?"

"You bastards!"

When Zhu Changcen learned that Dong Hanchen and his guards were killed by Dialon and his mercenaries, he was also very angry. He asked Dialon and Yu Guozhu, and cursed him by the way, and looked at Yu Guozhu:

"Dialon doesn't know, don't you know, the current emperor of Ming Dynasty is the Lord who will send troops to kill even ordinary Han people when they are killed, let alone his Imperial Army officer?!"

Yu Guozhu looked at Diaron with a puzzled look on his face.

At this time, Diaron replied directly: "But if we don't do this, your Highness, you will give in to the land that occupied southern Europe and compromise with the Ming Dynasty. This is not what my Western nobles are willing to see."

Zhu Changzen glanced at Dialon speechlessly: "But you should know that the Ming Dynasty is very powerful and no country can match it. Even the Ottoman Empire, which you Westerners have always feared, is now suppressed by the 100,000 Ming troops led by the seventh prince of the Ming Dynasty, so we cannot move forward, let alone us?!"

"How can I know if I don't try it? Although the Ming Dynasty is powerful, it is almost exhausted. Otherwise, it wouldn't just verbally warn the vassal states of excessive behavior, and it is even acquiesced to the major vassal states to expand their territory! Your Highness, why don't you dare to give it a try? Do you really have to be a puppet controlled by the Ming Dynasty?"

Dialon asked after he said.

"You're a bastard!"

Zhu Changcen threw the folding fan in his hand towards Diaron, pointing at him and said, "I use you Westerners to just guard the house and protect the house and make some money, and I don't want you to control me!"

At this time, a roar suddenly came from outside.

Zhu Changcen didn't say anything anymore.

Dialon and Yu Guozhu also looked back at the window.

This sound is naturally the sound of the Ming army plane.

"Airplane, this is an airplane! How did this thing become real? Where did they come from?"

Yu Guozhu said in horror.

As a Han scholar educated in the Ming Dynasty, he recognized this thing.

Zhu Changcen was already collapsed on the chair at this time: "It's over, it must be the Ming army who came to settle the score with me."

"No, the Ming army could not give up the Southern European pope and not fight. When they come to Barcelona, ​​even if they really want to fight, it would not be so fast. Even if the fifth prince uses troops without authorization, it would not be so fast. It would take time for his troops to assemble."

Dialon said.

"Your Highness, we must not lose our own way."

Yu Guozhu also said something at this time.

After hearing these two people say it, Zhu Changcen felt that what these two people said makes sense, so he nodded.

"Report! Your Highness the King, according to the news brought by the Folangjiren, the Ming Dynasty's King has arrived in Barcelona, ​​both sea, land and air!"

But at this moment, the chief secretary of Zhu Changcen, Chen Tingjing hurriedly ran in.

Chen Tingjing, a native of Shanxi, became a great scholar in the Qing Dynasty because of his good Neo-Confucianism and his ability to like Kangxi. However, in this life, he was just the chief historian chosen by Zhu Changcen himself.

After listening to Chen Tingjing's report, Zhu Changcen suddenly became terrible and couldn't help but say, "It's really the Ming army?"

At this time, Zhu Ciwei had already led the imperial army to the vicinity of Barcelona.

Zhu Changcen's escort army had spontaneously organized, holding the open-built front-mounted rifled rifles, ready to rely on the city and favorable terrain defense.

However, the Imperial Army was well-equipped and used the latest naval, land and air combat mode. When these guards arrived in the city and bunker, bombs from Ming army aircraft and artillery shells from the navy fleet were dropped.

With the sound of bombings, most of the guards of Ningxi Kingdom were injured and lost their combat effectiveness completely.

Zhu Changcen's Western Yi mercenaries were still in the era when they formed the Spanish phalanx with flintlock rifles. They were even more vulnerable in front of the Ming Dynasty's Imperial Army. After gathering, they were bombed and collapsed.

Times have really changed.

What's more, the guards of the Ningxi Kingdom, which was very arrogant in the Iberian Peninsula, were formed and trained by the Ming Dynasty themselves, so they were naturally easy to deal with.

However, Zhu Ciwei did not want to cause too many casualties. After all, the guards of the Ningxi Kingdom were basically Han people who came here with Zhu Changcen.

What's more, the Ming Dynasty now needs a population increase, and has been trying hard to avoid the decline in the global market size due to the war.

Therefore, after capturing the first line of defense in Barcelona, ​​Zhu Ciwei ordered the attack to stop and ordered the aviation brigade to distribute leaflets into the city to show the purpose of the court's trip, thus advising the military and civilians in the city not to follow Zhu Changcen to confront the court, and also advised Zhu Changcen to stop resisting and accept the court's rectification, and avoid taking greater blame.

"Reorganization?"

After seeing the leaflet, Zhu Changcen became even more confused.

In fact, he didn't know that the court was going to rectify the vassal state in the world.

Because the court did not tell him, and his vassal state was too far from the central court, and over the years, he had only focused on expanding his own interests. After all, he had even forgotten his national sentiment, let alone his loyalty to the central court of the Ming Dynasty. Therefore, he did not put any suspicion in the central court, and it was only now that he knew that the court was going to rectify the vassal state.

"Why did the imperial court suddenly remember to rectify the vassal state? Didn't we let our own troops take charge of our own vassal state?!"

Zhu Changcen continued to ask in confusion.

"Your Highness, please make a decision now. Should you open the city to accept the rectification of the imperial clan's office? I am worried that if you delay it, it will turn the rectification into a rebellion."

Chen Tingjing advised.

Zhu Changzen said helplessly: "Accept, why don't you accept it? I want to disobey, but I have to resist it, right? The central court's technological strength is too strong, and there are all aircraft, we can't compare. I just didn't expect that the court would really send troops to intervene for the sake of Han and Hu's indiscriminate matters! Isn't our Majesty trying to rescue the suffering people in the world? Why do we only want to value China?"

"Your Highness, I'm sorry for being too talkative. Even if you listen to what he says with your own ears, you can't take it all seriously. Besides, it's just issued by the imperial edict. He may not be sure of which sentence is true or which sentence is false."

Chen Tingjing replied.

"I know!"

Zhu Changcen slapped the table heavily, replied, and said, "But Zhu Youxiao is still like this. He has to consume the national treasury for the life, death, honor and disgrace of some untouchables, and raise troops outside! Since this place has been granted to me, I can do whatever I want, so why bother to be so lenient! Even if I put all the Han people here in a lower position than the Western Yi, it has nothing to do with him! Really, I really have to come to rectify now."

Chen Tingjing frowned: "Your Highness should understand that there is no favor in this world that you don't need to pay back any favors, especially the favors of the emperor. The deeper the favors you receive, the heavier the rewards you pay back. What's more, if you hate the Eight Desolations and have the wealth of the world today, you will naturally do whatever you want. If you want to practice Han supremacy, no one can resist them and can only let them ravage them."

Zhu Changcen nodded: "I naturally understand these principles, but I am lucky. I think he will relax when he is old, so I don't care about the life, death, honor and disgrace of these untouchables, but just want to live a good life in my old age! You go and do it, give gifts that should be given. I hope that the eldest son of the emperor who came on behalf of the clan's mansion and the royal family can talk about it because I am the father of the emperor."

"Abide by the order!"

...

So, next, the military and civilians in Barcelona all gave up their resistance.

Zhu Hezhen, a young royal family member, was ordered by the eldest son of the emperor, Zhu Ciwei, to bring a group of imperial army infantry into Barcelona, ​​and took over the city defense and public security here. The city guards and Zhu Changchen's Western Yi mercenaries were also disarmed by him.

Then, Zhu Hezhen brought people to the Ningxi Royal Palace, the largest Ming-style royal garden in Barcelona, ​​and said, "Uncle Ningxi, Zhu Hezhen, the Prince of Xin, was ordered by the Zongren Mansion to escort you to meet Zuo Zongzheng. Please come out. All your family members also need to be taken away together for investigation by the Zongren Mansion."

Zhu Changcen was quite disappointed when he heard Zhu Hezhen’s self-reporter’s house and said, “What does this mean by the clan’s mansion? He only sent a young junior to escort me! Can you let the eldest son come by himself?”

"Uncle Wang of Ningxi, you can't help it!"

Zhu Hezhen replied, then shouted and said, "Take it away!"

"yes!"

A team of strong-bodied Xinwangfu Chongying Official School rushed in after Zhu Hezhen issued an order and detained Zhu Changcen first.

Zhu Changcen struggled: "It would be too much for you to believe that the prince's mansion is doing this. No matter how you say it, I am a royal family of the Chang generation!"

At that time, after Zhu Changcen and his people were taken away by Zhu Hezhen, all the officials of the Ningxi Kingdom, including Diyalon and Yu Guozhu, were also detained for investigation.

After that, Zhu Ciwei also brought Zhu Youlang and others into Barcelona City.

"Good guy! The scenery of this city is so beautiful, and we, Uncle Wang, really don't know how to cherish it at all. Just follow the imperial court's official etiquette and government. Why not be tired of it? This is really a disaster for greed."

As soon as he entered Barcelona, ​​Zhu Youlang exclaimed first.

Zhu Yousong also smiled with interest and said, "I don't know if the women here can sing and dance like the herdsmen in Monan? In that case, I hope that when the court condemns me in the future, I can change my title to this place."

"The Ningxi Kingdom should indeed be rectified. The Western barbarians in the city are not easy to spread and subdue yet! No, they should directly withdraw the vassal states and change them to others. I believe that some people in the court are willing to vote here now."

At this time, Zhu Yihai observed the people in the city while talking to Zhu Ciwei.

Zhu Ciwei said: "Now we have to clear the criminal prison first, rescue the Han people who were detained, and ask the reason for being detained. Only in this way can we know who should be punished and who should not be punished!"

After nearly a month of interrogation, all the Han people in detention were released by Zhu Ciwei, and Zhu Changcen's private treasury and the savings of the national treasury were used to compensate. At the same time, those who needed to be punished for killing or abuse and blackmailing and beating Han people were also detained alone.
