Prince of Chaos

Chapter 656 Moral loss, human nature distortion

The sea breeze on the Indian Ocean is blowing, and the seagulls fly between the sea of ​​clouds, and from time to time they will turn into a sharp sword, break through the clouds, pierce the sea, and then jump out of the water, with a sardine in its long beak, and continue to soar into the sky .

Chen Zhenlong's fleet stayed in Taixi for about a year, and finally returned with a full load.

When Chen Zhenlong went there, he only had twenty or so boats, but when he came back, he had already increased to fifty!
These more than 20 ships were bought back from the Spaniards and the Dutch.

Moreover, the price was extremely low, so low that Chen Zhenlong couldn't believe it!

Of course, the reason why it is sold so cheap is definitely not because it is so cheap because of worshiping the East.

That's why it's so cheap.

And that reason was the first recorded financial crisis in history - the Tulip Bubble!

During the period when Chen Zhenlong went to Taixi, it was also the time when the tulip crisis was the craziest!
The Thai and Westerners also lost their minds in the face of tulips whose prices have gone crazy, and have invested all their personal worth in this carnival of capital.

Everyone is dreaming of getting rich overnight, hoping that the tulips in their hands can be sold for a sky-high price, thereby changing their status.

However, behind this carnival, there is a huge crisis!

When tulips grow to a sky-high price, and suddenly no one spends huge sums of money to take over the market, a crisis arises.

Everyone started to sell the tulips in their hands crazily!

All of a sudden, the tulip, which used to be a symbol of wealth and status, turned into a terrifying demon that chooses and devours people.

It not only devoured the wealth accumulated by the Taixi people for generations, but also devoured the last glory of the Netherlands.

The original sea coachman completely withdrew from the stage of the Western hegemony because of this terrible financial crisis, and became a third-rate small country.

Then came the tragic wave of unemployment!

This huge wave directly swept across the entire Taixi, making the Taixi people, who were still immersed in pride and glory, deeply feel what cruelty is!
As a distinguished guest and good friend of the Thai and Western people, Chen Zhenlong naturally couldn't sit idly by and see the Thai and Western people fall into such a miserable situation.

Therefore, Chen Zhenlong kindly bought the ships of those bankrupt sea merchants, and took in those unemployed shipbuilders, and went to Daming with him to start a new bright life.

Therefore, this is the current scene.

Chen Zhenlong's fleet of more than 20 ships has become a fleet of more than 50 ships.Moreover, each boat is full of Western scholars and craftsmen who have left their hometowns and longed for it.

After seeing Chen Zhenlong's selfless and benevolent deeds, the pope and nobles in Taixi were also very moved, and they all wanted to pray and bless the Marquis of the East who came from afar.

Facing the enthusiasm of the Thai and Western people, Chen Zhenlong maintained the unique humility and gentleness of the Orientals, and gave these miserable Thai and Western people spiritual comfort.

Encourage them to be self-reliant and self-reliant, and carry forward the great spirit of "heaven will send a great responsibility to everyone"!Tell them that a happy life comes after suffering.

After hearing Chen Zhenlong's concern, the common people in Taixi were very moved, and their yearning for the East couldn't help but grow even stronger.

...

After seeing this situation, Chen Zhenlong also announced the imperial edict in his hand!
Chen Zhenlong announced in the imperial decree that Daming will always stand with the Taixi people, and the Taixi people can always trust Daming.The Tianjin Shipping Department of the Ming Dynasty was specially opened for Thai and Western maritime merchants. In the future, all Thai and Western maritime merchants who came to the East from overseas can enter the customs through the Tianjin Shipping Department to buy Ming porcelain, tea and other rare treasures!

When the content of this imperial decree spread, the Taixi people immediately boiled over!
They really didn't expect that Daming, who was thousands of miles away, would extend a hand of friendship to them so kindly.

This can't help but make the Thais caught in the tulip bubble crisis see the hope of life again.

Although, this hope lies in the far, far east.

But as long as he works hard in that direction, one day, what he lost now will all come back.

At the same time, Chen Zhenlong also expressed to the Pope his sympathy for those scholars and wise men who were convicted of "heretics" in the Inquisition.

Chen Zhenlong said to Pope Taixi: "We have a saying in Ming Dynasty that there is no discrimination in education. These scholars and wise men who have committed crimes may have really blasphemed the god Taixi, but I believe they are all unintentional. I Willing to punish them on behalf of His Holiness the Pope, bring them to Daming for trial! Purify their souls."

Pope Taixi looked at Chen Zhenlong's sincere eyes, and thought about the help from the far east, so he agreed to Chen Zhenlong's request, and handed over the "heretical" scholars imprisoned in the Inquisition to Chen Zhenlong, and asked Chen Zhenlong to take them away. Crossing the ocean, leaving Taixi after traveling across the ocean, and going to the distant Ming Dynasty to purify the soul.

"Your Excellency, what are you looking at?"

Just as Chen Zhenlong was looking ahead, the young Galileo came over.

For more than a year, Chen Zhenlong has also taken good care of Galileo. He not only gave him a separate cabin, but also took some time every day to teach Galileo how to speak Chinese, and gave Galileo a brand new Confucian shirt.

At this moment, Galileo was wearing the Confucian shirt Chen Zhenlong gave him, and asked in front of Chen Zhenlong.

Chen Zhenlong smiled when he heard Galileo's strange pronunciation of Chinese characters.Then he said, "I'm watching the direction of home."

Galileo thought for a while, and understood what Chen Zhenlong meant by home.

Galileo couldn't help but glanced back: "I don't know how father and Father Augustine are doing now."

Chen Zhenlong smiled and said: "They are familiar with people in Taixi, so there must be no problem. But you, are you still used to it? I remember that you were about to vomit to death when you first got on the ship. I almost asked Matteo Ricci for help." For the final blessing."

Galileo also laughed and said, "Master Marquis laughed. I didn't know that the sea is so powerful!"

Chen Zhenlong sighed: "Yes. The sea is so powerful, and I have been wandering on the sea for half my life. I have been to Dongzhou, and now I have come back from Taixi. Except for the eunuch Zheng He who has been around for more than 200 years, I may be the one who sailed the farthest in Ming Dynasty. people."

Galileo asked curiously: "Who is the eunuch Zheng He? Is he very powerful?"

Chen Zhenlong hummed, and said: "The eunuch Zheng He is very powerful. You Taixi still have his legend. He is the leader of the Ming Dynasty Armada 200 years ago according to your legend. He was ordered by Emperor Chengzu to go west to the west. National prestige, no one dares to disobey from thousands of miles away!"

...

When Galileo heard what Chen Zhenlong said, he immediately remembered the legend of Taixi. It turned out that the mysterious Eastern Armada in the legend was Zheng He's fleet.

Galileo said, "Then he must be very famous in the East."

Chen Zhenlong smiled slightly, but did not answer.

Then, Chen Zhenlong continued to look into the distance, looking in the direction of Daming.

Soon they will reach the border of Sumatra.

There is a long and narrow strait called the Strait of Malacca. As long as you pass through that strait and reach the South China Sea, you will be closer to Daming.

After looking at the clouds in the sky for a while, Chen Zhenlong heard the cries of dolphins again, and Chen Zhenlong followed the sound.He happened to see a few dolphins seeming to clear the way for his big boat, swimming quickly at the bow of the boat, jumping out of the water from time to time, making a loud and cheerful cry.

Seeing this scene, Chen Zhenlong was in a great mood.

This is a great auspicious sign!
On Chen Zhenlong's way home, Wei Zhongxian finally started to move.

The current Wei Zhongxian can be said to be the king of the night in the entire Liaodong region.

If there is any disturbance in Liaodong, there is nothing he does not know.

Originally, Cao Huachun's Fubole was still anxious for Wei Zhongxian for a while, thinking that he was going to fall out of favor.

As a result, Cao Huachun wasn't the type to do intelligence at all.

It didn't take long for Zhu Changluo to despise Cao Huachun's work performance, so he transferred Cao Huachun from Liaodong, first threw him to the Beijing camp for training, and then threw him to Jixian Military Academy as a eunuch.

It can be said that Cao Huachun no longer threatened Wei Zhongxian at all.

Except that he doesn't grow a beard, he is almost the same as a big-armed and round-armed warrior.

Therefore, Wei Zhongxian is now in charge of the entire Liaodong intelligence agency.

Fo Bole was also transferred out of Liaodong, and now belongs to Sun Xian, who is only responsible for overseas intelligence collection.

So now Wei Zhongxian is like a fish in water in Liaodong!
After getting Zhu Changluo's order, Wei Zhongxian immediately started to move. He immediately activated the spies he had buried in the Wula tribe and Daxing'anling City, and asked them to start investigating Li Rusong, Hu Huaide, and Li Wuyi according to the instructions.

As a result, it doesn't matter if you don't check it, but you will be shocked if you check it!
It turned out that the three of them had already colluded together.

No wonder Hu Huaide and Li Wuyi were able to rise up in Liaodong so quickly. It turned out that this was all thanks to Li Rusong.

Li Rusong was imitating his father Li Chengliang's dog raising strategy.

It's a pity that Li Rusong didn't know that the dog he was feeding actually came from Xishan Huangzhuang.

Moreover, these two dogs are used to being wild outside, and now they have a tendency to evolve into wolves.

After seeing the information, Wei Zhongxian immediately grinned.

What he is least afraid of is big things!

The bigger the matter, the more excited he is!
After Wei Zhongxian sorted out these materials, he couldn't wait to send the information to Zhu Changluo's head.

When Zhu Changluo watched Wei Zhongxian send Li Rusong, Hu Huaide, and Li Wuyi's black materials to him respectfully, Zhu Changluo glanced at them and didn't look at them.

Zhu Changluo said directly to Wei Zhongxian: "Tell me briefly what's inside."

...

Wei Zhongxian replied, "Yes."

Then, Wei Zhongxian told Zhu Changluo everything he found out.

Zhu Changluo quietly listened to Wei Zhongxian's report, and couldn't help but fell into deep thought.

Could it be that the loyalty of the ancients could not stand the test like this?

In Zhu Changluo's impression, many people like to brag about how the ancients were loyal and loyal, and how modern people have no spirit of contract.

Looking at it now, whether ancient or modern, there is no good system to restrain them, and it is simply unrealistic wishful thinking to expect them to remain loyal all the time!

Especially for a local snake like Li Rusong who has the power of life and death, it is even more hopeless.

Therefore, the key depends on the system!
Only the system can restrain people's desire and greed, let them feel awe, and know that there is an ancient precept from the gods!
"It seems that Li Rusong has been allowed to live for a few more years, but he is not grateful for Dade. He actually learned from his father Li Chengliang and played the trick of raising the bandits' self-esteem. Could it be the local characteristics of Liaodong?"

Wei Zhongxian didn't understand what Zhu Changluo said with emotion, but Wei Zhongxian understood that the Crown Prince was dissatisfied with Li Rusong.

Wei Zhongxian replied in a low voice: "Master, don't be angry. It won't be worth it if you are angry."

Zhu Changluo chuckled: "I'm not angry, I just feel that I'm adding to the liking. It's a bit whimsical. I actually believe that a crooked beam can bring out a straight beam. It's wishful thinking."

Wei Zhongxian didn't dare to answer, because he could clearly feel the chill and killing intent on Zhu Changluo's body.

Obviously, Zhu Changluo was intent on killing some people!
"Preaching the decree, commanding Magui, Yang Sui Liaodong suppressed the rebels, and arrested the Wula tribe and other bandit chiefs. If they encounter resistance, they will be killed on the spot!"

Zhu Changluo's will is extremely cruel!
He is really chilled!
Li Rusong, Hu Huaide, and Li Wuyi are all mortals!But Zhu Changluo changed his life against the sky and saved them.Moreover, they have high expectations for them, hoping that they can carry the sky for the northern border of Ming Dynasty.

But how do they repay?
After Li Rusong was granted the title of Daxing'anling Bo, he was ordered to have full power over all military affairs and government affairs in Daxing'anling City, which gave him greater power than that of Fengjiang.

The results of it?He actually started to imitate Li Chengliang's trick of raising the bandits' self-respect, and raised a wild Jurchen dog that he thought was from the depths of Liaodong.

Use this dog to help him wipe out the Liaodong tribes who refused to obey orders.

Originally, this was no problem.

But that's where the problem happens.

Li Rusong didn't really want to wipe out these Jurchen tribes who refused to obey the king's order, but was using the Wula tribe to help him catch coolies and dig gold mines in the deep mountains of Daxing'anling to enrich himself!

Moreover, the Liaodong iron cavalry under him only recognized his general orders and ignored the imperial edicts.

This nature has changed!
Therefore, Zhu Changluo couldn't tolerate him anymore.

There are also Hu Huaide and Li Wuyi.

These two people are also really interesting. Zhu Changluo asked them to go to Liaodong to be bandits, but they became addicted to it. No wonder they have been yin and yang against Zhu Changluo's orders for the past two years.

It turned out that Li Rusong gave too much, which made them lost.

...

I thought that in the depths of Liaodong, where the sky was high and the land was wide, and the emperor was far away, he could be king and hegemony.

I really don't know what to say!
No wonder the two people in the original time and space would take the lead in mutiny, leading to the tragedy of the Southern Army being slaughtered.

It turns out that in the hearts of these two people, the imperial court has always wronged them.

And when I sent them to Liaodong to carry out secret missions, they also interpreted that they came from humble backgrounds and were not taken seriously, so this happened.

Now, they have no restraint in Liaodong, and their lives are better, so they start to ignore their own orders.

At the beginning, she flirted with Li Rusong, and even gave Li Rusong a little beauty who is said to be the number one Jurchen along with Ye Hedong-Abahai.

When seeing these information, Zhu Changluo's heart was really complicated to the extreme.

It seems that I really misjudged the person.A military leader is a military leader, no matter who his teacher is or how high his historical evaluation is, it cannot change his essence.

Li Rusong is still a leader of the Liaodong army who is selfish and only cares about the honor and disgrace of one family and one person!
It is also because there are too many such military heads, which led to the collapse of Ming Dynasty in the original historical time and space!
These people used the rations that Emperor Chongzhen had snatched from the people as military expenses.Not only failed to quell the bandit rebellion in Liaodong, but also intensified the Jurchen rebellion outside the pass!
In the end, all these people survived and became the second ministers of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, while their master Chongzhen hanged himself.

It can be seen from this that these military leaders and those scholar-bureaucrats who are full of benevolence and morality are untrustworthy scum, scum!

Thinking of this, Zhu Changluo's heart couldn't help gathering a breath of gloom. There was really a kind of heartache that was wrongly paid, lingering in his heart.

Wei Zhongxian kowtowed to the leader immediately, "I will deliver the decree now, servant girl."

Zhu Changluo didn't say a word, his face was cold.

Seeing Zhu Changluo's expression, Wei Zhongxian couldn't help shrinking his neck again, he hurriedly bowed again, and carefully exited Zhu Changluo's front hall.

After Wei Zhongxian left, Zhu Changluo finally regained his sanity when he heard the door creak.

At this time, Zhu Changluo also exhaled and adjusted his mentality.

Faced with various difficulties in the late Ming Dynasty, I really can't be too lucky, and I really can't trust history too much.

After all, these histories are written by people of later generations.

God knows what position these people took when they wrote history.

Therefore, in the end, all these things and all these problems must be explored by oneself, and only by probing can you get the results you want to know.

This time, Li Rusong and Hu Huaide, Li Wuyi gave Zhu Changluo one.

And the name of this lesson is the heart of greed and insufficiency!
These people are really too much. It is really fantastic to expect them to be able to get out of the mud without getting stained.

If these people were really as loyal to the country as the history of the Ming Dynasty said, they all had the loyalty to keep the building from falling and the loyalty to persuade the emperor without fear of anger, how could the Ming Dynasty collapse like this?

What does this mean?
This shows that these history books are full of problems, and many problems are avoided and lightly mentioned.Finally, push the problem to the emperor and Tianming!

It seems that the death of the Ming Dynasty was caused by God's will and the emperor's stupidity!

This is simply a sinister statement that kills people!

If the Ming Dynasty is really so unbearable, if the emperors of the Ming Dynasty are really so stupid, then where did the Ming Dynasty come from for 300 years?
Could it be that for the past 300 years, the world has been supported by the righteous and outspoken men of the Manchu dynasty?

Then why couldn't it hold up in the Chongzhen period of the Zhongzheng Ying Dynasty?

Is this because the buff of the righteous outspoken man is not working?

Their justice speaks out, can't they save the building from overturning like their predecessors?

Obviously, this is not the case!

Daming was beaten to death by these people!After they changed their doors, they began to flaunt themselves and slander the old master!

This is moral depravity and distortion of human nature!
