my days with tyrants

Now that he decided to fool around, Yang Feng didn't bother to walk too fast.

Normal speed will do.

So he crossed the river immediately, then took the post road to Bozhou, arrived in Bozhou four days later, and visited Yang Yinglong's ancestors by the way.

At this time, the Bozhou Propaganda Envoy was Yang Keng.

A very sensible old man, and has been doing it for decades. In fact, he was also the Bozhou Propaganda Envoy of the Yuan Dynasty. After surrendering in this capacity, he has been very obedient.

Yang Feng has no special feelings for the Yang family in Bozhou.

They are Han Chinese.

They naturally have centripetal force towards the Central Plains Dynasty.

On the contrary, the five divisions and seven surnames they suppressed are other ethnic groups.

And it's not just them.

The Ma family of Shizhu, the Ran family of Youyang, and even the Song family of Shuidong who later participated in the She'an Rebellion.

These are actually Han chieftains.

Kuidong has always been the first choice for Han people to take refuge in war-torn times. After all, even the thirteen families of Kuidong in the late Ming Dynasty could persist for 20 years. Then, during the change of dynasties, these Han people who took refuge in mountainous areas became chieftains who were regarded as barbarians. , such as the Zhao family in central Guizhou during the Tang Dynasty.As for Wulingyuan Ji, although it is in western Hunan, this area is almost the same. If Wulingyuan Ji really existed, it would probably be regarded as a barbarian in the Tang Dynasty.But they themselves are very clear about their identities, and they are always proud of them. They belong to the separatists. As long as a new dynasty is launched outside the mountain, they will basically surrender readily, and then continue to be the chieftains of the new dynasty, even They are still working hard when the new dynasty needs it.From the end of the Southern Song Dynasty, the Yang family in Bozhou was an important force that helped the court resist Mongolia. Until Yang Yinglong, Bozhou was also the core of Southwest chieftains supporting the court. Moreover, Yang Yinglong didn't really want to rebel and become emperor. His relationship with Wanli was still in the early stage. Very good, even when he was working for Wanli, he worked very hard.

His rebellion was forced by various factors. His arrogant and brutal character, coupled with the fact that the local civil officials wanted to mess with him, and the internal five divisions and seven surnames deliberately stimulated him to rebel because he squeezed him too hard, so as to get rid of this situation can be said tyrant.

It can be said that he did not want to oppose it.

Wanli didn't want him to rebel, and tried to avoid him from going this way.

Both the monarch and his ministers were working hard, trying to avoid the final outcome that neither of them wanted. Under various factors, he finally rebelled.

In short, there is an essential difference between these Han chieftains, the extravagant family, and the An family.

The latter's attitude towards the Central Plains Dynasty has always been that I surrender just because I can't beat it.

As long as I think I can do it.

Then do it right away.

These toasts are the most unstable factors in the Southwest.

Yang Feng left Bozhou and walked for another three days before arriving in Guiyang, and then went to meet Gu Cheng.

The latter has guarded Guizhou for nearly 20 years.

And there have been wars all the time, but they were all small-scale battles, to clear up a rebel stockade and so on. Last year, the suppression of Dong Miao had just ended. The next thing Yang Feng was going to leave was Dong Miao's territory.However, Gu Cheng's achievements are not outstanding enough. After all, with the current strength of the Ming army, such achievements as breaking down a small village or a small earthen fortress are really inconspicuous.

At least it is incomparable with the north or even Pingwa country and Ping'an South.

Even in Ping'an South, it is really a new chief envoy.

So he has not been named Marquis so far.

But in fact, among the Ming armies in various places, he fought the most frequently here.

His current identity is the governor of the Youjun Governor's Mansion, and he also has the seal of General Zhengnan.

But Yang Feng got some bad news from Gu Cheng...

"Although there is a post road over there, the various tribes of the Eastern Miao have just been crusaded. Although all the stubborn ones have been awarded heads, the rest are not sincerely obedient. If the ambassador really wants to go this way, I am afraid that he will need soldiers and horses to escort him along the way."

Gu Cheng said.

"Uh, does Mr. Gu think Yang needs any protection?"

Yang Feng couldn't help laughing.

"That's too much to worry about."

Gu Cheng immediately laughed too.

Ambassador Yang is invincible and does not need protection.

However, he still had to fulfill his duties, and then Gu Cheng prepared for Yang Feng to call the official documents of the stations along the way and the garrison of the guards.

Yang Feng was immediately sent out by him.

However, seeing Ambassador Yang riding away on horseback, Gu Cheng sighed...

"Five hundred li hastened to report to the capital. Ambassador Yang has already passed Guiyang to Guangdong."

He said.

The officer beside him saluted silently and then left.

At this time, Ambassador Yang was still moving forward along the post road, and arrived in Anshun two days later. The commander of the Puding Guard was Gu Tong, the son of Gu Cheng. Long broke into the home of Cen Zide, the chief of Anlong's department, in a very high-profile manner.The latter was appointed just this year. He is the son of the chieftain of Sizhou. Because of his meritorious service in fighting with the Ming army, he was named the chief of Anlong Division. However, Anlong Division is already the chief secretary of Guangxi.He was so frightened that he hurriedly arranged the boat on his knees, and waited for this big man who was already considered as famous even in his corner to board the boat. Immediately afterwards, Ambassador Yang began to drift to Guangzhou.

Then Gu Tong also heaved a sigh of relief and hurriedly sent someone to report to his father.

half a month later.

Beijing.

Longjiang Pass is crowded with people.

In fact, it's not just Longjiang Pass, from Wenchuan Lake to Longjiang Pass, there are people along the coast, including the city wall behind, and everyone is looking eastward.

There, warships that have experienced vicissitudes of life are going upstream...

Ying Jiahe's fleet is back.

However, they didn't go to Guangzhou, or even to Luzon. Because of the long delay, Ma He commanded the fleet to go northward on the Kuroshio Current, then went to Wa Kingdom and then took the northeast wind straight to the mouth of the Yangtze River, and then returned so suddenly.Moreover, the entire fleet did not lose any warships, except that the one and a half year-long voyage made all the warships look like tattered garbage, and the sails on many warships were patch after patch or even unrepaired.

Quite a Pirates of the Caribbean style.

This was rescued in Taicang. It is said that when I first arrived in Taicang, it was really a pile of floating garbage.

Many soldiers could not walk even after disembarking because they had been at sea for too long.

But they came back after all.

After tens of thousands of miles and two voyages across the Pacific Ocean, not a single warship returned to their hometown.

"Let me just say, this is definitely a conspiracy."

And Ambassador Yang, who was dressed as a business traveler, was among the crowd watching the excitement, watching the mighty fleet approaching in the distance.

Of course he didn't go to Guangzhou.

In fact, before he arrived in Bozhou, he had already come to his senses. This was a conspiracy. Lao Zhu's heart would never die. It's hard to say whether Lao Zhu's obsession with not seeing Jiahe, but he definitely didn't kill him. , and the sooner he died, the stronger his obsession with it.

Especially at this time, he can be said to be old and confused, and he no longer knows how to think foresight.

Just one thought left.

Take him with you.

Can understand.

After all, Lao Zhu was also an emperor, and even the emperor couldn't stand him like this.

Yang Feng is still self-aware about this.

At this time, a familiar four-wheeled carriage appeared in his field of vision, and Yang Feng immediately mingled with the crowd and squeezed past, but he just approached, because he was familiar with the identity of this carriage, and the idlers did not deliberately keep a distance, so Yang Feng quickly squeezed to the side of the carriage.Immediately after the curtain of the carriage was lifted, the little princess who had matured a lot behind the glass window looked at the approaching fleet anxiously, but she didn't notice Yang Feng...

"Get out, get out!"

At this moment, Chun Ji's shout sounded, and then the crowd moved aside, Mrs. Chun's four-wheeled carriage also drove over, and then she opened the door and got out of the carriage.

"Where is he?"

The little princess still asked very irritably.

"Zhang Xueshi said it was the same as before, and Pu Dingwei said that he boarded the ship in Anlongsi.

Zhang Xueshi said that the rest of Anlongsi's trip to Guangzhou was all by water, and most of the journey was in the territory of the barbarian chieftains in the mountains. He didn't need to go ashore to open any official documents. He must obey Wang Hua, and he will not deliberately report his experience to the court.

In short, he must at least get Liuzhou, so that there is a possibility of news.

And not necessarily.

After all, he might have passed directly from Liuzhou.

This kind of drifting along the water will not stop as long as the weather is good. "

Chun Ji said.

"My father looks like that, and he still has to listen to the edict he sent? He didn't know what he said before for an hour. It's not like the fleet won't come back. Is there a need to pick it up? They're just messing around with him. Hurry up and get someone to send the letter to Guangzhou Bank urgently, if they can't stop it, I'll take their skin."

The little princess said angrily.

then……

"Have you ever thought that your father did it on purpose?"

A head suddenly poked in from the window, and then said with a smile.

The little princess looked at him in astonishment.

The next thing to do was to pounce on him, screaming with delight.

Yang Feng covered her mouth as quickly as possible.

The little princess is also very cunning, so she immediately wakes up...

"Where did this lunatic come from? He doesn't know how to live or die. Tie him up and send him to the factory to work as a coolie for a year!"

She shouted excitedly.

The slaves outside also woke up, and hurried forward to hold Yang Feng and tie him up.

"Let me go. I just heard that the princess is as beautiful as a fairy. I want to see her. I'm from the mountains. You can't treat me like this."

Yang Feng yelled in a certain dialect very skillfully.

The idlers around laughed...

"Let him come in, and I'll let him see enough before going to work as a coolie for me for the rest of his life."

said the little princess in the carriage.

The house slave quickly stuffed Yang Feng in, and at this moment, the firecrackers and drums of the welcoming fleet sounded, people's eyes were immediately attracted, but the little princess has always had a unique style, and no one really paid attention to such trivial things.Amid the sound of gongs, drums and firecrackers, the first battleship began to approach the pier, and the sailors on the deck who had actually been away for nearly two years waved their hands excitedly.They are just as unrecognizable as their ship. After all, they have been exposed to the scorching sun for two years at sea, and despite having all kinds of canned food, the voyage lasts for several months, and vitamin deficiency is inevitable. All of them have various vitamin deficiencies.

Like a terrible rotten tooth.

And at this time in the carriage...

"Damn ghost, do you still know how to come back?"

The little princess said viciously.

Yang Feng looked terrified, as if he was looking at a shrew, but then the little princess threw himself on him.

"It's big, it's a lot bigger!"

Yang Feng sighed with emotion.

"Hmph, I heard that you went out and brought back hundreds of beautiful girls?"

The little princess got up from him, and then resumed her ferocity.

"They're all children, it's not like you don't know me."

Yang Feng said.

"It's okay for children to grow up, just like me."

The little princess said contemptuously.

But this question is just for discussion, after all, Yang Feng already has quite a few concubines, Zhang Ying, Chun Ji, Lv Nu, these are only public, how many are in secret, the little princess knows it is hard to count after thinking about it.Fortunately, as a princess, she doesn't care much about it. Her father is in the palace, and her brothers are all in the palace. Even those son-in-laws are actually in groups of concubines. Besides, Yang Feng is not a son-in-law. Woolen cloth.

"You said my father deliberately wanted to trick you into the sea, just like last time?"

said the little princess.

As soon as Yang Feng said that her father did it on purpose, she immediately woke up.

"However, my father is sober now and then confused, or maybe he just said something casually when he was confused, and the people around him passed it on as an imperial decree. The emperor and grandson thought it was really what he wanted, so he issued the imperial decree."

She said with some trepidation.

"Don't worry, I won't bother with a dying person."

Yang Feng said.

Lao Zhu is actually relying on this.

He knew that it didn't matter even if he failed, since he was dying anyway, even if Yang Feng came to his senses, he wouldn't bother him, this old guy wasn't sober for a while and confused for a while, at least he was very sober when he gave this order.

As he spoke, he lifted the curtain and looked at the battleship that had already approached the pier.

It's horses and rides.

He was already standing on the deck in his suit, but he looked dark and thin, and his whole body shrunk a circle. Obviously, this trip was too much for him. The known route jumps forward.One by one the cages were carried out behind him, all kinds of rare birds and beasts inside, it is hard for him to get these things all the way, but this thing is indeed very sensational, after all, even if he took a corn cob, no one would Take this as a good thing.

At this time, there are at most dozens of corn kernels on the corn cobs in America.

The little princess' eyes were immediately attracted by these rare birds and animals, she put her head on Yang Feng's face, and stared at the good things in the cage with wide eyes.

Macaws, scarlet ibis, quetzal...

However, there were no carnivorous beasts, and even if there were, they would have starved to death on the way.

"This thing..."

The little princess was lying there, looking at it with a posture that was about to drool.

Then she looked at Yang Feng seriously...

"You gotta get me some!"

She said.

"There are plenty of them here, not only there, we can also go to Southeast Asia, where there are also many rare birds and animals. It is estimated that we can catch elephant birds in Madagascar now, and there are also moas in New Zealand. As long as we start to embark on the road overseas , These rare birds and animals can't be caught, let alone overseas, even our Ming Dynasty has countless rare birds and animals, and there are countless baiji dolphins in the Yangtze River!

Let's build a zoo in the future and keep all kinds of rare birds and animals in it. "

Yang Feng hugged her and said.

Outside, the emperor's grandson's elephant has arrived under the guard of Jin Yiwei.
