Daming Town Haiwang

Chapter 756, King Ning Zhu Chenhao
Nanchang, Prince Ning's Mansion.

King Ning Zhu Chenhao, who was only in his twenties, was tall, handsome, and handsome. He was completely different from King Ning in later movies.

At this moment, he was holding the latest newspaper and the Ming Dynasty Morning Post in his hand, and after reading it in great detail, he couldn't help becoming slightly excited.

"Colonial law, colonial law, what a colonial law~"

"What a god-given opportunity!"

Zhu Chenhao laughed happily when he saw the latest news.

He was so excited and so happy.

He finally saw hope, the hope of freedom.

Maybe someone will say, he is a majestic King Ning, the prince of the Ming Dynasty, why would he say there is no hope?
In fact, life may not be so easy for the princes of the Ming Dynasty.

Although they have no worries about food and clothing from the moment they are born.

Although they are extremely noble from the moment of birth.

But the princes of the Ming Dynasty are basically pigs raised in captivity.

They were not allowed to leave their fiefdoms, and they were not allowed to make friends with anyone. They were not even allowed to communicate with their clan relatives. From the day they were born, all they could do was eat and sleep.

Except for some freedom behind their own palace, they are not even allowed to go out of the fief city, completely without the freedom of ordinary people.

How prosperous the Ming Dynasty is, and how beautiful the mountains and rivers are.

But all of this has nothing to do with their princes.

Comrade Zhu Yuanzhang, the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty, was very kind to his descendants.

He killed all the heroes who followed him to fight the world, he was cruel and ruthless.

But for his descendants, he gave extremely high treatment.

According to Comrade Zhu’s regulations, one of the biggest characteristics of the princes of the Ming Dynasty is that they can be hereditary, that is to say, there is no downgrading. The grandfather is the prince, so is the father, and so is the grandson, from generation to generation.

And the son born by the prince also has very generous treatment, and the treatment of the entire royal family is the highest in all dynasties.

Zhu Yuanzhang stipulated that the treatment of the prince (the son of the emperor is called the prince) is [-] shi a year, the county king (the son of the prince, the eldest son can inherit the throne, and the others are county kings) is [-] shi a year, and the town general (jun King's son) a thousand stones, and then the treatment will be downgraded by one level.

Even at the eighth level, which is the last level, Fengguo Lieutenant's annual salary is 200 shi, which is much higher than that of the seventh-rank county magistrate.

You must know that when Comrade Zhu was at the time, the first-rank officials only had eighty-seven shi rice a month, and the county magistrates who were the seventh rank paid seven shi and five buckets of rice a month, which was less than a hundred shi a year.

From here, we can know how high the treatment of these clansmen in the Ming Dynasty was, and Comrade Lao Zhu was extremely kind to his descendants.

In addition to the rice that can be obtained from the imperial court every year, according to regulations, corresponding cloth, tea, silk, salt, etc. can be obtained from the imperial court according to different levels every year.

In addition, marriages, weddings, funerals, holiday subsidies, etc. are indispensable, and even the princes in many places are often able to withhold the taxation of some places. From time to time, the emperor will cry to the emperor about poverty, saying that the family has a large population and cannot eat enough. , the emperor often rewards some land and salt and so on.

For example, Emperor Hongzhi's biggest clan in the Ming Dynasty was quite good. Several princes in Henan often cried to him that they were poor, but Emperor Hongzhi was also poor before.

But he is the emperor, and he can't ignore his family members crying for poverty, so he will reward some land, allow them to withhold some local taxes, or reward these princes with salt and other things.

Generally speaking, in the Ming Dynasty, being a prince is definitely a job without worrying about food and clothing. If you don't have any ambitions and don't want to make a difference, being a prince is definitely suitable for you.

But the princes of the Ming Dynasty were essentially pigs raised in captivity.

During Zhu Yuanzhang's period, he treated the prince better. They were all his own sons, and each of them was an emperor who guarded one side. Like Zhu Di, the king of Yan, he held the local military and political power in his hands, which was the fundamental reason why he was able to seize the country later.

But when Comrade Zhu Di grabbed the throne, in order to prevent future generations from imitating himself, he had many strict regulations and restrictions on the local vassal kings.

First, the guards of the feudal king were withdrawn, and then the scope of activities of the feudal king was strictly restricted. It was not allowed to leave the fief, and it was not even allowed to go out of the city to sweep the tomb.

It is not allowed to make friends with local officials, and it is not allowed to lend money without permission. There are even regulations on marrying wives.

Therefore, the princes of the Ming Dynasty can basically only hang around in their own homes. When they leave their own palaces, they must be strictly supervised by local officials in the city.

This kind of life is actually no different from that of pigs. After eating and sleeping, eating after sleeping, and then continuously creating humans, so by the end of the Ming Dynasty, the number of descendants of Lao Zhu's family was in the millions.

Ning Wang Zhu Chenhao was already tired of such days.

He wants to go to various parts of Daming to have a good time, to see the picturesque rivers and mountains of Daming, to go to Tianjin to see the high-rise buildings in Tianjin, to go to Songhu, to see the Huangpu River in Songhu, and to try Nanyang I want to go to Australia to see kangaroos that can beat people.

In short, it's fine to go anywhere, anyway, he's already feeling sick after staying in Prince Ning's Mansion.

So all along, he has been planning and planning.

That's right, you read that right, he has always wanted to rebel, he doesn't want to continue to be a prince, he doesn't want to be like a pig, being locked up in a pigsty every day.

It's just too difficult, too difficult for a prince to rebel.

In order to prevent future generations from imitating himself, Zhu Di set too strict rules on vassal kings. First, he has no military power, and second, he has no connections.

Want to rebel?

Harder than going to the sky.

But he wanted to rebel a long time ago. If he didn't rebel, he could only stay in this palace for the rest of his life.

Especially the line of King Ning, who was actually deceived by Zhu Di.

When Yan Wang Zhu Di was fighting for the throne, his own strength was very limited, and his military strength was not serious, so Zhu Di went to Ning Wang Zhu Quan and told him, Zhu Yunqi can deal with me now, and he will deal with you in the future. If I send troops together, we will divide the world together in the future.

So Ning Wang Zhu Quan handed over the Duoyan Sanwei in his hand to Zhu Di. The Duoyan Sanwei were powerful grassland cavalry with extremely powerful combat power.

But after that, Zhu Di forgot about sharing the world equally with Zhu Quan, and had the opportunity to move King Ning to Nanchang, and he has settled here in Nanchang since then.

King Ning is so angry, this Zhu Di is a typical example of crossing rivers and tearing down bridges, what he said is like farting, it doesn't count at all.

Therefore, King Ning's lineage has always wanted to rebel and take back part of the country that belongs to him.

For this reason, King Ning of all dynasties also made a lot of preparations, and left some things and team for Zhu Chenhao. Otherwise, even if he didn't want to be a pig, he would still have to be a pig.

It's just that the local officials are very powerful in monitoring the vassal kings, and the emperor must have factory guards to monitor the vassal kings everywhere, so it has always been prepared by several generations. It's like an egg hitting a rock.

Well now, the imperial court promulgated the colonial law, and the colonies developed overseas by private individuals are simply a small kingdom. Except that they belong to Ming Dynasty in name and have to pay taxes to Ming Dynasty, everything else is no different from a kingdom. It's just that you can't be king.

For King Ning, this is enough.

"Haha, what a great opportunity."

"As long as you go overseas, with the power in my hands, what is a small island of Ceylon? I want to conquer a piece of land as huge as Ming Dynasty."

Ning Wang Zhu Chenhao said very confidently.

Overseas land is extremely vast, with countless countries, large and small, and many countries are extremely weak. Tian Erniu and [-] horses can easily conquer the two huge kingdoms of the Golden Continent with a population of several million.

The Western United Firm took Ceylon Island easily with only [-] people. The casualties were very small, but they all achieved great success.

King Ning attached great importance to these.

In the past few years, he also thought about going overseas. After leaving Daming, the sea was wide enough to let the birds fly in the sky. He, King Ning, was also an extremely conceited person. emperor.

He did not expect that the imperial court would promulgate such a colonial act, and implement such a management and rule method for overseas colonies. This is simply great news for him.

rebel?

What a fart, wouldn’t it be more delicious to go overseas to build your own country?

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but get excited.

Waiting for this day is too long, too long.

He didn't want to stay here any longer.

Being imprisoned like a pig is really uncomfortable.

He has never even been out of Nanchang City, who can understand his helplessness and suffering.

"Congratulations to the prince, congratulations to the prince, great news!"

At this time, two people walked in with smiles on their faces, one named Liu Yangzheng and the other named Li Shishi, both of them were counselors he recruited secretly, these two were actually down-and-out talents, the kind who felt that they were unappreciated, but In essence, there is not much level of people.

"Haha, you guys came just in time."

"Have you read all the colonial laws of the imperial court?"

When Zhu Chenhao saw the two of them, his smile became brighter.

"My lord, we've seen it all."

"This is a godsend."

Liu Yangzheng nodded solemnly, smiling all over his face.

To be honest, following King Ning's rebellion, they also played with their heads up. If they failed, they would implicate the nine clans.

Well now, if you just go overseas to open up colonies and establish a country of your own, it seems that there is not much difficulty.

And once successful, they can follow Fei Huangteng and realize their ambitions.

"My lord, although the imperial court has promulgated the colonial law to encourage my Ming Dynasty individuals or groups to expand overseas, it did not clearly state that local vassals are also allowed to go overseas."

"So the key now is how we can get His Majesty and the imperial court to allow the vassal king to go to sea and allow us to go overseas."

Li Shishi was relatively calm, thought for a while and said.

"Well, that's definitely a problem."

"The imperial court has always been extremely wary of us vassal kings. Although I belong to King Ning, I can't even leave Nanchang City. It is really difficult to go overseas."

Ning Wang Zhu Chenhao nodded and said.

"My lord, I think we should make two preparations."

Liu Yangzheng thought about it and nodded.

"Liu Gong, please tell me."

Zhu Chenhao quickly said respectfully.

Both Liu Yangzheng and Li Shishi are very satisfied with Zhu Chenhao's attitude. How can they be called public officials? Only important officials in the court can be called public officials, such as the three elders of the cabinet and the six ministers. .

The two of them couldn't even pass the Juren examination, and there was a huge gap between them.

But King Ning has always treated them with such courtesy and called them, which made the two of them seem to have met their confidantes. As the saying goes, women are for those who please themselves, and scholars are for those who are confidantes. They are naturally the most loyal courtiers of King Ning.

"My lord, first of all we have to be prepared. If the imperial court does not allow the feudal lord to go overseas, then we will go overseas quietly. As long as we go overseas, the world is so big that we can roam freely."

"So from now on, we need to cultivate a fleet first, and once the reality is mature, we will secretly go to sea to build a country overseas."

"Secondly, the best thing is to try to find a way to get the court and His Majesty to allow our vassals to go overseas, so that we can go overseas in a legitimate way."

Liu Yangzheng thought for a while and said.

Zhu Chenhao and Li Shishi also nodded after listening. Anyway, this Nanchang will definitely not stay any longer. We must go overseas. If the imperial court allows it, it is best to go out openly. If the imperial court does not allow it, we will go out secretly.

"What Liu Gong said is true!"

Li Shishi praised.

"It's actually not difficult for the court and His Majesty to allow our prince to go to sea."

"The key still depends on how to submit a letter to the court. The key is the treatment of the vassal king."

"Now there are so many vassal kings, large and small, in my Ming Dynasty. The imperial court wants to spend a huge amount of money on the salary of the vassal kings in various places every year. If the imperial court allows the vassal kings to go to sea, the court can save a lot of expenses. "

"We will take this as a breakthrough point and find someone to lobby with the cabinet ministers and the six ministers. As for your majesty, you need to contact other vassal princes, and everyone will cry to your majesty. With the current majesty's character and Judging from the current situation, His Majesty will definitely allow it."

"The imperial court will definitely allow it. There is no need to supply the vassal kings everywhere, and the imperial court's expenses can be left a lot, a lot."

He said very confidently.
