No matter how ruthless the Dutch and Nanyang natives were, no matter how cowardly the Han clan in Nanyang was, there would always be a group of bloody men who could escape. They fled back to Zhou Dynasty by boat and complained to the government.

But how could the officials of the Great Zhou Dynasty pay attention to this group of "expatriates"?

Not to mention that they are just a group of refugees traveling to Nanyang, not even the descendants of Yuan Chonghuan!

What's more, Yangcheng has just been turned upside down because of the Nanwang incident. Officials at all levels, including the navy admiral, are trembling with fear. Who has the mind to take care of overseas affairs.

But there are always some people who see the world with open eyes. They also know that they cannot solve the problem, so they arrange for people to take this group of fleeing Han people to Tianjin.

Chen Zhao thought for a long time and calmed down the group of refugees. After checking the relevant information, he was surprised to find that the corpses of the Han people killed a few months ago had not yet turned into bone dust, and the Dutch on Java Island began to recruit people again.

The Han people used to engage in farming and trade. What’s even more ridiculous is that a large number of Han people really came from Fujian and Guangdong.

"Write to Shadutang that the people of the Jinyiwei sect in Fujian, Yue and Guangnan will be rotated once, and let them check the local magistrates to see how far they have pushed the people. The people would rather risk being killed.

The danger must pass."

Chen Zhao said this to his master Ji Yun in his study. Ji Yun now also has a fifth-grade official. After listening to Chen Zhao's words, he said:

"My lord, the Fujian and Yue areas have a small land but a large population. The local gentry family is very powerful, and even the government has little power. Moreover, the language and customs there are quite different from those in other provinces. It is also close to the sea, and the people are not interested in taking a boat to a foreign land.

No matter how you resist, this is what happens when there are immigrants. Back then, Zheng Zhilong and others became pirates, and this is why the current Giant Whale Gang and the Haisha Gang remain strong."

Having said this, Ji Yun smiled bitterly and said:

"Sir, what are the people thinking? They think that others have suffered disasters, but the disasters will not fall on themselves. Fan Gui said that the Han people in Luzon rebelled and were suppressed, and they feel that they can live in peace and contentment."

"That's what you say, and I understand it. But as far as I know, our clans in Dazhou are very powerful. If the government forces them a little, they will make trouble. Why do those clans that stick together become sheep when we get to Nanyang?"

Chen Zhao asked casually, and the bitter smile on Ji Yun's face became wider and he said:

"This student doesn't know."

Chen Zhao looked at this big tobacco bag and thought to himself: "Maybe that corrupt official knows about it. It's a pity. It's hard to say whether there is such a person now."

However, this did not prevent Chen Zhao from starting various matters.

…

"I have heard some people talk about the benefits of Nanyang these days, saying that there is gold, silver, copper and iron, which are rich products, and there are all kinds of goods, and the land is fertile. This..."

Emperor Xiaode laid the memorial on the table with a leisurely expression and asked the courtiers inside and outside the room,

Although the Great Zhou Dynasty opened ports and had connections with many countries, the emperor's words still aroused nervousness among the courtiers.

After all, everyone knows who holds the advantage of Nanyang.

As powerful as Cheng Guogong Chen Zhao, he only dared to do business with those Nanyang merchants in Songjiang and Yangzhou, and made no move to send ships out to sea.

"Your Majesty, these are just lies. They are nothing more than the wishful thinking of ordinary people. When the eunuchs of the Three Treasures of the Ming Dynasty went abroad, they brought back nothing else except spices. It can be seen that the talk of wealth is false. Furthermore, Franji People, the Red-haired Yi people traveled thousands of miles to come to China, probably because

Dazhou is the kingdom of heaven, and everything is included in it. Whatever your majesty wants, Dazhou has it all, so why bother crossing the ocean to sacrifice the near and seek the far away?"

Speaking of this, Zuo Shenxing, the Minister of Rites, who had been silent all this time, came out to report, and his words were extremely sincere. Seeing the expressions of the ministers, Emperor Xiaode knew what they were going to say next.

As a mature king, he knows that he cannot go against the vast majority of people, even if he is the arbitrary emperor of Qiankun, so he waved his hand: 'Then let's discuss the next one!'

"Your Majesty, the Marquis of Wuqing, Li Changqing, wrote a letter the other day, saying that the army has been reconditioned and has sufficient supplies to fight against the Hesheli tribe."

…

After the court meeting was over, Emperor Xiaode was sent back to Qianqing Palace in a soft sedan chair as usual, but during this time Emperor Xiaode walked back.

According to the imperial physician, people should move their muscles and bones regularly in order to prolong their lives.

Therefore, Emperor Xiaode did this as a way to stretch his legs.

The emperor was walking back, so Dai Quan, Xia Shouzhong and others naturally had to follow him. Fortunately, the oldest of the chief ceremony supervisors was now in his forties, so he could still follow.

Emperor Xiao De was obviously a little distracted when he was walking, and everyone found it strange. Almost all the Supervisor of Ceremonies went over in their minds the things discussed at the meeting, as well as the memorials that were not mentioned. It seemed that there was nothing important to be distracted by. , they all thought about it again and walked quietly, but heard a cough. Everyone immediately realized that it was the voice of Emperor Xiaode, and several eunuchs looked over.

"Xia Shouzhong, come here!"

Xia Shouzhong hurriedly approached. The others took a few steps outside. Dai Quan glanced over and walked away expressionlessly.

"This report says that although the skin of a native woman is not white, it is as smooth as silk, her body is weak and boneless, and she has a unique charm. Is this true or false?"

Emperor Xiao De's expression was still quite serious, but the question he asked made Xia Shouzhong stunned. Xia Shouzhong responded quickly and with a serious face, he answered in a low voice:

"This servant doesn't know either. It is said that there are two women from Nanyang in the palace of Nan'an County. They were acquired when they fought in southern Xinjiang, but they are hidden in the inner house. This is all rumors and I can't tell clearly."

As a eunuch, he really couldn't explain such things, but Emperor Xiaode coughed again and said:

"Write a letter to Chen Zhao and ask him to help me find a few. Remember to keep it secret and don't let those Taoist gentlemen outside know about it."

"Please rest assured, Lord Long Live, I will take care of it right away."

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Being able to handle such private matters for Emperor Xiaode is naturally a sign of trust, and Xia Shouzhong also has to show his diligence.

Although Emperor Xiaode was nearly middle-aged, he and his queen and several beloved concubines were all good, and the more talented and strategic the emperor, this did not mean that he did not like to have fun. After all, the "disease of the few" proved that the emperor was very powerful.

In recent years, a lot of Western gadgets have been sent to me from Jinmen and Songjiang, and I really like the cakes made by Westerners.

Moreover, Xia Shouzhong also knew that some people went to Japan to purchase women, and some people were preparing to bring white women. Therefore, it was normal for the emperor to inquire about Nanyang women.

As for whether the queens and concubines in the harem know these things.

Haha, as an emperor's woman, it's best to pretend not to know about such things.

Xia Shouzhong, as the eunuch of the Royal Horse Supervisor, had his own source of information. If the emperor knew anything about Fengyue, he would definitely know it in advance.

It is said that there are maritime merchants in the market talking about the romance of Nanyang, and some literati who have good intentions have written novels describing related events.

It is said that Yuan Chonghuan's posthumous son became the leader of the martial arts alliance. Because he was loyal to King Chuang, he was defeated and left the capital. He was so disheartened that he took thousands of martial arts heroes to Nanyang, most of whom were heroines. They started in Nanyang.

Scattered branches and leaves...

According to Xia Shouzhong's judgment, the person who wrote this book must be morally corrupt and worse than the Lanling Xiaoxiao who lived in the pre-Ming Dynasty.

Although the Jianghu heroine who lived in Nanyang practiced hard internal skills, her skin was as smooth as silk and was passed down to future generations. After combining with the natives, it became even smoother and more attractive. But after all, I have Han blood, so how can I go without clothes all day long?

?

This kind of thing is most suitable for the wealthy people in Beijing and Tianjin. There are also bookshops specializing in engraving and printing. It is really weird and morally corrupt.

Xia Shouzhong couldn't help but shake his head when he thought of this. It's just that this time he asked Duke Cheng to go to Nanyang to buy and sell women, and the emperor asked him to do it. It was really ridiculous.

The books in the capital are Fengyue books, but similar books in the Jiangnan area are different.

There is a lot less description of Nanyang women, but the description of the wealth of Nanyang is extremely detailed. It is said that the gold and silver mines there are easy to develop and have not been developed much. There are spices and various hardwoods there, which are sold locally.

The merchant ships of the Ban people were huge profits, and if they could be transported back, the profits would be even higher.

The rice fields there can be harvested three times a year, and the natives are all powerful but capable people. As long as you can kill them, they will be your slaves to farm for you.

There are examples for each item. There is no need to make this up out of thin air. Many people have gone to Nanyang to make a fortune and worked hard locally. If they are not killed by others, it is easy to accumulate wealth.

The pamphlet also mentioned that those who made a fortune had to pay taxes to the local people. Those in Banten, Sulu and Malacca also had to pay taxes to the local tycoons.

If you don't pay taxes, what kind of benefits will you get?

It is said that the descendants of Yuan Chonghuan led thousands of martial arts heroes to Southeast Asia, killed the native chiefs, fought with the Dutch and the French people, captured many important places, and became rich all over the world.

The pamphlet mentioned rather contemptuously that the white soldiers who came from afar were quite capable in dealing with the natives. Although they had cannons and blunderbuss, the descendants of the Yuan family were not fools. They went to Jinmen to fight with Cheng Guogong.

The arms business killed those white people to pieces.

When Zheng Chenggong defeated the Dutch who occupied Ryukyu, although the descendants of the Zheng family had been enemies of this dynasty, the Zhou Dynasty thought highly of Zheng Chenggong and still respected him as "the surnamed master of the country".

Thinking about the defeated generals of the Zhou Dynasty and the descendants of the pirate leaders who could defeat the Dutch, it is only natural that the brave people of the Zhou Dynasty could compete with the white people in Nanyang for territory.

The things in this booklet are so exciting. Ming Dynasty said that there are a lot of things overseas, most of which are similar to the notes of Zhiguai, but this one is very detailed. I asked those merchants who went to Nanyang and said that 10% of it cannot be said, and 80% of it is definitely

There is.

At this time, Duke Cheng Guo was ordered to go south to recruit troops. It was said that he was going to Nanyang to search for Nanyang beauties for the emperor.

This is neither easy to say nor pleasant to hear, so Duke Cheng's ostensible mission is to wipe out the Nanhai faction, completely cut off the foundation of the Guangnan rebellion, and prevent its resurgence.

So he recruited sailors from all over the place and pardoned a large number of pirates from the Giant Whale Gang and the Sea Sand Sect.

So the big merchants in the south of the Yangtze River and the brave poor people who couldn't live a good life all took action after hearing the news.

Many desperadoes on the sea suddenly found themselves becoming the most popular people, and people everywhere offered them high prices to serve as guardians.

The news that Chen Zhao received was that the Jinling General Lin Bo and the Li family of Jinling and several noble family members were dismissed from their homes, but then they were all thrown into the service of a close relative of the noble family.

The children's property, and then they also bought ships and hired people.
