Li Tianchong, the left governor of the Jinyiwei, saw Zhu Houzhao asking, hurriedly replied: "Report to the Supreme Emperor, Zhu Wan has arrived at Haimen and is mobilizing warships. When the deputy general Lu Tong transports the Quanzhou ship, he will immediately enter Shuangyu Island in Beijing. At present, the deputy envoy of the Haimen Wei Yigong has raised enough food and grass at Haimen, and the training of the navies from Haimen to Dinghai coast has been completed."

After saying that, Li Tianchong couldn't help but ask more: "Your Majesty, now the Japanese pirates are about to attack Ningbo. Do you see if you want Zhu Wan to send troops back to Ningbo? Or, let's go back to Hangzhou to avoid the Japanese pirates' edge."

Although most smugglers on Shuangyu Island are pirates from various countries, including Chinese people, these pirates are still called Japanese pirates in Jiangnan and many Ming officials.

Because the main force of these pirates are all down-and-out samurai hired or colluded from Japan.

These warriors often do some plundering the coastal people for these pirates or the gentry behind the pirates, so that the term "Japanese pirates" has been widely circulated among the coastal people.

Even Li Tianchong, the left governor of the Jinyiwei, also received long-term information about Japanese pirates attacking fishermen, and he also called these pirates Japanese pirates.

Zhu Houzhao also decided to call these pirates as Japanese pirates, and decided to let the imperial government do the same, naturally, because it was to prepare for the future to clean up Japan.

After all, Japan began to restrict trade with the Ming Dynasty, which reduced the silver flowing into the Ming Dynasty from Japan, thus affecting the interests of the Ming Dynasty.

Therefore, the Ming Dynasty naturally could not allow Japan to impose trade restrictions on the Ming Dynasty.

Li Tianchong suggested that Zhu Houzhao let Zhu Wan transfer troops back to Ningbo and suggested that Zhu Houzhao return to Hangzhou, because there was already information from the Jinyiwei that the Japanese pirates were about to attack Ningbo, and the purpose was to capture the Supreme Emperor Zhu Houzhao alive. As the responsible person for Zhu Houzhao's safety, he naturally did not want Zhu Houzhao to be in danger.

Zhu Houzhao always thought that after he opened the sea, he could really completely avoid the Japanese turmoil that occurred after the middle of Jiajing in history.

But now he found that he might be able to stop the large-scale Japanese turmoil, but he could not completely eradicate the emergence of Japanese pirates.

Because even if you open the sea, you cannot curb the mainland who want to trample on the law and smuggle the law, nor can you prohibit the Japanese down-and-out samurai from colluding with Westerners who have always wanted to plunder the interests of the Ming Dynasty and ambitious mainlanders to do some illegal business.

But no matter what, Zhu Houzhao believed that with his current foundation of the Ming Dynasty, he should be able to deal with these people who are unruly, so that they can know the strength of the court and the strength of the people behind the court who want to pursue peace and peaceful life.

"No, there may be news of the Japanese pirates coming in Ningbo that can be told Zhu Wan, but I will also pass on my imperial edict to him and let him continue to attack Shuangyu Island. Don't be distracted by my presence in Ningbo."

Although Zhu Houzhao was already the Supreme Emperor, he voluntarily abdicated, not forced to abdicate, and also had military power. Therefore, he still called himself me according to his old habits, and no one dared to say that he was wrong.

In addition, he still called his teachings an imperial edict.

Of course, Zhu Houzhao was unwilling to leave Ningbo at this time, which is not to say that he was really not afraid of the so-called Japanese pirates.

Instead, he believed that the imperial guards he brought were well-equipped as the vanguard of the Guards, and the elites selected from wars such as the rebellion, the recovery of Jiaozhi, and the expedition to the West should not be no match for these Japanese pirates.

For this reason, Zhu Houzhao decided not to leave Ningbo for the time being, and it might be a good way to let the Japanese pirates come to the door to annihilate them. Secondly, Zhu Houzhao believed that only by staying here can these Japanese pirates attack Ningbo, which can also help Zhu Wan recover Shuangyu Island at the lowest cost.

Because of the opening of the sea, Ningbo City is now a metropolis of the Ming Dynasty. The entire city of Ningbo is full of masts, like a forest, with rich clothes and gorgeous clothes crowded in the streets and alleys, like green flowers in mountains and rivers, railway tracks extend from the town like dragons to the port, and cement roads pass through the tall buildings like capillaries, and disappear from the sky.

Zhu Houzhao was sitting in a bamboo sedan chair, escorted by the imperial guards in brocade clothes, and walked through the alleys of the city. When he saw a good food shop, he would stop by the sedan chair. After having a good meal, he went to an elegant garden to enjoy the scenery. Naturally, the dignitaries and nobles in Ningbo City dared not to welcome him, and the merchants and the people dared not to let him eat.

What's more, Zhu Houzhao still paid.

But after Zhu Houzhao had such a big fanfare, the scholars and people in Ningbo City still knew that the Supreme Emperor was still traveling in Ningbo City.

Most of the scholars and citizens in Ningbo City were still very willing to stay in Ningbo City by Emperor Zhu Houzhao.

Because the current Supreme Emperor Zhu Houzhao is a flow body.

Many people came to Zhu Houzhao, but not all the people came to Zhu Houzhao for justice. After all, the Ming Dynasty has not yet developed to a time when the gap between the rich and the poor is very sharp. Moreover, after Zhu Houzhao secretly led to many shameless literati who incited public opinion to slander him, most of the people who came to Zhu Houzhao came with respect, just want to see the appearance of this great man who had changed their destiny.

"The Supreme Emperor, the road ahead is blocked. When the people in Ningbo Prefecture heard that you went out, they all came to see you from all over the countryside." Ningbo Prefect Zhang Juzheng walked over and said to Zhu Houzhao at this time.

Zhu Houzhao looked up and saw that there were indeed people outside the fence, and even the boat was full of people.

At the same time, the vendors who followed the crowds of people had already started unloading goods and setting up stalls. Some nearby teahouses and restaurants were full of customers. Naturally, none of the boats were idle, as if Zhu Houzhao would go wherever he went, and wherever he would be consumed more actively.

Zhu Houzhao had to get out of the sedan chair and greet these people. During the days when he stayed in Ningbo, the flow of people in Ningbo has soared by five or six times compared with the past, causing the prices of Ningbo to rise a lot, but it has also promoted the economy of Ningbo.

Moreover, Zhu Houzhao's inspection of the place was not for nothing. When he spent money like soil, he asked the inner treasury to donate a building, and he personally named it "Zhu Houzhao Building".

In addition, seeing private charities will also invest tens of thousands of silver dollars, and seeing some good stores will directly block angel investors from spending tens of thousands of dollars on investment.

Fan Qin, the right assistant minister of the Ministry of War, wanted to build Tianyi Pavilion. Zhu Houzhao and Zhu was awarded 50,000 silver dollars to encourage him to collect books from the world, but also required Fan Qin's Tianyi Pavilion to be open for free for the world, and gave a half-completion of the imperial shop specializing in the manufacturing of mechanical watches to the Fan family to help him manage Tianyi Pavilion.

Because of this, merchants and civilians in Ningbo Prefecture built library buildings to accompany Zhu Houzhao.

In order to enhance the local economy, guide commercial development, promote the emergence of some brand products in the Ming Dynasty, and even produce the symbols of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Houzhao will set up corresponding awards such as the top 50 watch shops, clothing shops, and food shops in every place. Once the shop that won this honor, he will reward tens of thousands of silver dollars to promote its development.

It is precisely because Zhu Houzhao visited the places and sprinkled money everywhere and expressed his kindness that local businessmen and people are more grateful to Zhu Houzhao's kindness.

The scholars and people who came to visit Zhu Houzhao were only increased but not decreased because of their admiration.

Looking at the crowded Ningbo City, Zhu Houzhao was very satisfied. He knew that this was his hard work to reform the Ming Dynasty for decades. With the popularization of education and the real favors, it was difficult for some people with ulterior motives to slander themselves at will.

After all, although Zhu Houzhao controlled the vast majority of the empire's wealth, he did not use this wealth to enjoy it, but instead gave it back to the people.

Of course, Zhu Houzhao is still very tired for local officials whenever he goes.

Although Zhu Houzhao's arrival increased the flow of people and economic income, it also increased the difficulty of management, and also made them worried that their poor management would lead to the people seeking justice for the Supreme Emperor again.

However, it is difficult for everyone to be satisfied with him, and Zhu Houzhao is the same. He has benefited the people of the world, but not everyone in the world highly respects him.

For some southern gentry who were eager to continue to enslave civilians, Zhu Houzhao's idea of ​​equality brought about by them has made them lose the opportunity to use the tribe law and village agreement to enslave common people in the local area, making them unable to be the best. Even though they are still very wealthy, they still have to maintain respect for migrant workers who carry manure, pave roads and build bridges, which still makes them feel uncomfortable.

Zhu Houzhao frequently appears in Ningbo Prefecture, which made Wanhe, a gentry who had been in contact with the pirates of Shuangyu Island, notice it, and couldn't help but find Cao Cai, a businessman who contacted Shuangyu Island:

"Go and tell Feders quickly that the Supreme Emperor is still in Ningbo City. It seems that the attack on Ningbo Prefecture has not been discovered by the Jinyiwei. Now the Supreme Emperor is still playing in Ningbo City with great fanfare."

In fact, although Zhu Houzhao pretended not to know that there was a police officer in Ningbo Prefecture, he had already told his people to be loose on the outside and tight on the inside. So, shortly after the merchant Cao Cai sent someone to contact the pirates on Shuangyu Island, the Jinyiwei found Cao Cai and escorted Cao Cai to Li Tianchong.

Li Tianchong quickly interrogated some secrets and hurriedly reported to Zhu Houzhao:

"Reported to the Supreme Emperor, according to Cao Cai's confession, Wanhe, the former Shanxi Right Consort Wanhe colluded with the Japanese pirates on Shuangyu Island. Moreover, there was a secret contact point for Japanese pirates in a place in Baxiang Town, ten miles away from Ningbo Prefecture."

After hearing this, Zhu Houzhao couldn't help but nodded: "No wonder Fan Qin said that the richest family in Ningbo is Wanjia, and there are no less than 30 ships to go to sea. However, I found out from the Ningbo Maritime Bureau that the tax payment of ten thousand families is ranked fourth. Now it seems that Wanjia is indeed a restless family."

"What should I do now?" Li Tianchong asked.

"What else can I do if I collude with the Japanese pirates and want to murder me? I will pretend to be Japanese pirates and destroy these ten thousand families. When the sunrise tomorrow, I will let the people of Ningbo City see Wanhe's head at the city gate!

The one named Cao Cai will not deal with it first, and the Japanese pirates in Baxiang Town will not deal with it first, so as not to let the Japanese pirates attacking Ningbo notice it. When the Japanese pirates attacking Ningbo come, they will be captured in one go!"

Zhu Houzhao ordered that he is the Supreme Emperor of the Ming Dynasty and has no responsibility to take typical cases of legal system. Naturally, there is no need to put the evidence of these coastal gentry colluding with Japanese pirates openly before handing over to Youshi. The existence of the Jinyiwei in his hand is to do these dark things behind the scenes.

When the people seek justice, it is equivalent to putting the case on the surface. Zhu Houzhao cannot clearly destroy the law. Now, he knows behind the scenes of these coastal gentry communicating with the Japanese, so he can naturally deal with it directly with the Jinyiwei.

When the tide had just faded, and when the night was so deep that even the waning moon was pressed into the sea, a team of Jinyiwei dressed in Japanese pirates rushed into Wanhe's manor. The bright Japanese sword quickly wiped the neck of the Wanhe family's slaves, and blood instantly sprinkled on the white wall, and a shrill scream sounded.

The Japanese pirates must look like Japanese pirates. The Jinyiwei generals who pretend to be Japanese pirates will naturally not be as kind as they usually search their homes, killing the entire family with blood.

Wan He was stunned for a moment when he looked at these vicious Japanese pirates, because he never expected that he would be robbed by the Japanese pirates for so many years. He couldn't help but ask loudly: "Who are you? The Li family on Shuangyu Island is the brother of Wan's brother. You will not give them face if you do this!"

Puchi!

The Jinyiwei Yu Zhen stabbed Wan He into the stomach with a knife: "Collaborating with Japanese pirates and harming the people, you wouldn't have thought that you would end up the same thing one day."

According to Zhu Houzhao's instructions, the selection of Jinyiwei mostly selected a group of surviving young children and girls from villages and towns that were plundered by pirates, Japanese pirates, and barbarians to train them. They brainwashed them with various pirates, Japanese pirates, barbarians and other evil information, which made the people of Jinyiwei hate the evil ones very much.

Now, Yu Zhen is the same. Thirty years ago, he was the son of an ordinary boatman in Fujian, but because his whole family was plundered by Japanese pirates at sea, he lost his parents. He was rescued by the rushed coast guard and entered the Jinyiwei system through layer by layer selection.

Now, when facing a gentry like Wanhe, Yu Zhen still has deep hatred. He stabbed Wanhe several times until he was exhausted, and he stopped the knife and left. Another Jinyiwei continued to chop and vent his long-suppressed hatred.

Before Wan He died, he realized who he died at, but now he is dead, so he naturally cannot tell this matter anymore.

"Japanese riots! This is Japanese riots!"

Zhu Houzhao added experience to the place where he was transferred and now in charge of Ningbo, Zhang Juzheng said.

Naturally, he would not admit that this was done by the Jinyiwei.

It is not easy for Zhang Juzheng to expose that this was done by the Jinyiwei, and he knew that these gentry deserved the crime, so he also echoed: "What the Supreme Emperor said is very much. This is indeed caused by the Japanese pirates' rebellion. The officials have ordered all places to strengthen their vigilance."

Zhu Houzhao nodded and said nothing.

When Liu Cheng, a gentry far away in Haimen, learned that Wanhe was killed by the Japanese pirates, he was both shocked and angry: "Send someone to ask the Li family. Didn't they say they would attack Ningbo Prefecture? Who asked them to rob the Wan political party? A group of people who didn't know the king's laws asked them to treat the gentry and treat the gentry, why didn't they listen? Is this going to force the entire Southeastern scholars to work together to suppress the Japanese?! If they really get to that point, then see how they can survive!"
Chapter completed!
