Chapter 295 The Big Ship

In just one month, the city gates were opened by the inner guards in the prefectures and counties around Linyi, and after the cavalry who came and went like the wind attacked the city, they did not burn and kill them as much as others imagined. On the contrary, they only captured the yamen and local wealthy families.

Except for the highest-ranking local officials, such as county magistrates, who will be chopped up their heads, the remaining people will be handed over the food and fodder and silver you have, and you will be safe and sound.

After Chen Shizi's rebellion in the counties in Yanzhou, because Chen Shizi had many cavalry, they controlled the horse trading very strictly. However, the official army did not have too many cavalry, and the short-distance mobilization was as fast as the cavalry. Often, the nearby officers and soldiers learned the news. The cavalry who heard the knife had already left with the plundered gold, silver and treasures for many times.

However, because the White Lotus Sect bandits were all suppressed, and the team of Wendao was only targeting money and refused to allow their subordinates to harm human lives, there was no big deal every time they entered the city.

Linyi was rampant by the White Lotus Sect bandits, which did not affect the communication of trade routes. Especially after the White Lotus Sect bandits were suppressed by officers and soldiers and civilians, they actually returned to their former state.

As for King Jing and the residents of the dead Linyi City, who would pay attention to it, they would die. And unexpectedly, the number of merchants traveling to Linyi was actually much higher, especially grain merchants, cloth merchants, and even traffickers who bought and sold people. The money plundered by the knife was spent in large quantities, and they exchanged them for materials and labor.

As a result, in addition to the earth-shaking Linyi case that night, in addition to the robbery of the city, the surrounding areas of Linyi gradually became quieter, and the officials gathered here gradually became tired. Isn’t it just that there was a missing prince? There were hundreds or thousands of people in the Ming Dynasty, and one of them died and saved the country silver.

Why are you waiting for the above orders here, and you cannot advance or retreat?

The Silijian in the capital is handling documents from all over the country. Now the eunuch Huang Jin, who is now a big eunuch, stays here every day. He is one of the few people who know the real reason for the mobilization of the troops around Shandong. Therefore, he has been paying close attention to the rebellion in Linyi this time.

The Ming Dynasty's post station and the message transmission system were extremely backward. Huang Jin sadly found that his brother Huang Ping's private message was much faster by the post station's news. What Huang Ping said was that the private salt business in Shandong had no pause at all, and there was no obstacle when the salt vendors passed through Linyi.

It was also mentioned that the usual money collected by the green forest villages in the Yimeng Mountains from the salt owls and salt merchants were paid as usual, and the prices were not increased or changed. However, the money was handed over to the leader of the General Secretary of Wendao. Speaking of which, Wendao, who is famous now, has a very majestic name, called "the leader of the General Secretary of the Eighteen Villages of Mengshan".

Huang Jin shook his head there. He thought that the fall of the relatives of the family would be furious. However, the emperor's reaction was quite calm, and he just said lightly:

"Let the Ministry of War and the Governor's Office deal with it."

Then he continued to refine his elixir and seek the Tao. Huang Jin was quite surprised at the time, and of course he did not show his expression. However, he quickly realized that for the emperor, the vassal kings who had a good reputation in the local area were not good relatives. He would rather these relatives do evil to harm the local area. At least he felt relieved.

What's more, the case of King Heng in the past few years was that Prince Heng had a very good reputation in Qingzhou, but it was later discovered that it was a bribe. Who knew that King Jing had such a good reputation and had no conspiracy? Of course, the deeper reason was that Prince Xingxian's mansion was also well-known for its "benevolence". This was an important reason why only Jiajing's kings came to power after Emperor Zhengde's death.

"Father-in-law, this is an expedited memorandum from Shandong."

A feminine voice interrupted his thoughts. Huang Jin looked up and saw that a eunuch Bingbi looked at him with a flattering smile. Huang Jin nodded and reached out to take the note. After a few glances, his face turned pale and his hands began to tremble. After seeing it, the eunuch next to him hurried forward and asked with concern:

"Brother-in-law, why are you..."

Huang Jinteng stood up at once, and the little eunuch happened to be approaching him to see what happened. Huang Jin slapped him in the face and shouted angrily:

"Don't stop me, we want to see the emperor!"

After a while of quiet in Linyi, the so-called Eighteen Villages, who heard the knife, did something quite shocking, the so-called "King of Xingxian, Yuanzong, colluded with internal officials, forged edicts to inherit the throne, and the virtuous virtues of King Jing..."

These verbal and verbs are quite good. At first glance, they are masters, but no one will pay attention to this. Even the so-called forgery of edicts and other things were concerned about. At that time, the Xingxian Palace was thousands of miles away from the capital, and it was weak, so how could it collude?

However, someone rebelled under the banner of a vassal king. Although it was a looting, the incident in Linyi City that day happened so coincidental. Afterwards, the Jingwang Mansion found that there was no evidence of the death of the royal family. It could only be said that it was a looting. Now it seems that it may have been colluded a long time ago.

Otherwise, how could the surrounding counties open the city gate so by chance and let it plunder?

The nature of the matter has completely changed. At first, it was just a bold bandit burning, killing, looting, but now it can be said that it was a royal rebellion, and it was also the uncle of Emperor Zhengde. To put it bluntly, he was also Jiajing's uncle, and his bloodline ranking of inheriting the throne was even higher than that of Emperor Jiajing.

The battle of Jingnan is also a fight between uncle and nephew!

Moreover, the variables of this kind of war were extremely great. Zhu Di fought in the north for a long time, but he only occupied Yanjing, Baoding and Tianjin. However, after the army alone entered Nanjing, he immediately sent a letter to the world, and the world was immediately pacified. It was originally a family matter for the emperor, so why did the people below fight to death?

The matter was quickly determined, and the relatives rebelled, and there was a conspiracy. The official newspaper said that King Jing had always been hypocritical and favored the people. This time, he colluded with bandits and committed misconduct. After discovering it, the governor of Yizhou was guarded and was about to arrange a capture, but he did not expect that King Jing would discover it. He killed the prefect and plundered the entire city and then fled to the deep mountains.

The emperor was furious and sent emergency documents from the capital to Henan, Shandong, and Nanzhili, requiring all regions to be famous and eliminated without any mistakes.

The entire ship's weapons and supplies came ashore at the port controlled by Shijiu Camp. The names of these things are all about the supply of the official army and used to pay the fees, but after leaving the port, they were not left to be accepted by the people who heard the sword.

May in Dengzhou is the best season. Around the docks of Yantai Mountain private ports, the soldiers of the Jiang family were on close guard. In addition, Dengzhou Prefecture City also received news that the road to Yantai Mountain must be closed because it eliminates bandits.

This day was the day when the new ship was launched. All the senior generals of the Jiang family army were on the edge of the dock. Although many people were puzzled, they said that it was just a boat to launch it. As for calling everyone back at this time, when they saw the ship in the port, everyone was shocked.

It is completely different from any sailing style in the port, and it is even different from the foreign rooster. It has white sails, graceful hull and the dark cannons arranged on both sides of the hull.

Jiang Feng couldn't help but be moved when he stood there. Now in front of him was the East Asian sea. No, or the most powerful maritime overlord on the Asian sea, he could actually have a relationship with this "most" when he came to this era. It was really exciting.

The leaders of the white craftsmen next to him are no longer the down-and-out appearance he had when he came to Dengzhou. Now they are wearing very refined and improved Western clothing. With money, they can naturally hire tailors to make expensive clothes for themselves. Although the Chinese pronunciation is stiff, they are also very skilled, but there are still translations. This is something that Westerners often cannot help but speak in their native language, but Jiang Feng doesn't like the other party saying words that he can't understand.

"Grand, because of your genius, this ship is larger than we imagined, with a displacement of 650 tons, and can carry more artillery, one hundred and four cannons, and if you don't ask for a larger caliber artillery, our ship can also carry more artillery."

Speaking of this, the craftsman leader lowered his head and thought about it, adding:

"If the wind is right, the ship can reach up to twenty-eight miles per hour."

Obviously in order to understand Lord Jiang’s navigation knowledge, the white man still converted the navigation unit in his heart, from the festival or sea marsh to the "li" that the orientals understood. Of course, he didn’t know that Jiang Feng had repeated the conversion:

"Well, it turned out to be fourteen kilometers."

After the craftsman in the boat shop introduced the craftsman who cast artillery beside him approached again. This work was done by the old craftsmen and the white people, and the old craftsmen played a decisive role. They first saluted Jiang Feng respectfully, and then introduced in a hoarse voice:

"Report to the ship, there are thirty-two twelve-pound guns on the lower deck, twenty six-pound guns on the middle deck, six-pound guns on the middle deck, sixteen twelve-pound guns on the open deck, and twenty twelve-pound guns on the front and back ship towers."

Listening to these boring numbers, Jiang Feng nodded slowly. Although the face was still calm, he could see that the joy on his face became stronger and stronger. The old craftsman said there:

"Sir, our cannons are all the general cannons in the court..."

On the sea near Jeju Island, Zhao Sanshui stood at the bow of the armed merchant ship, pointed to the ships in front and shouted:
Chapter completed!
