I really don't want to be emperor at the end of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 266

Chapter 265

Different from Cheng Jiayue's uneasiness, Cheng Jialong found himself traveling in an inexplicable time and space, and his biggest feeling was excitement, especially when he saw the guards at the door respectful to him, which made Cheng Jialong feel a little drifting.

Of course, as a second-year junior high school student, Cheng Jialong has a basic understanding of history. From the hair of these guards, he realized that he should have traveled to a time and space above the Qing Dynasty. His gaze fell on the knife on the guard's waist.

Cheng Jialong looked at the guard and said, "Show me your knife!"

"Yes!"

The guard did not hesitate, and immediately took off his saber, and handed the knife and the scabbard made of calfskin to Cheng Jialong.

Cheng Jialong took the knife and felt very familiar. Cheng Shijie kept a knife at home. It was this kind of standard. At first, Cheng Jialong, who didn’t say no skills, asked Cheng Shijie why he bought an Oriental knife. Cheng Shijie told him very solemnly. , This is Tang Hengdao.

Although the appearance looks like an oriental sword, the difference between the Tang Hengdao and the Japanese sword is that the Tang Hengdao is a straight sword, and the Japanese sword is a scimitar. Armor piercing ability, while the Toyo sword blade has obvious curvature, and its chopping ability is more excellent.

Looking at the Tang Hengdao in his hand, Cheng Jialong was even more happy, because Cheng Shijie had popularized historical knowledge for him. In ancient times, sons were not called casually. Only the sons of the princes could be called sons. In film and television dramas, any man was called a son. In fact, It's wrong, at least before the Song Dynasty, the son could not be called casually.

With Tang Hengdao in his hand, there is a high probability that this is in the Tang Dynasty, and the guards call him the eldest son. Doesn't that mean that he has the status of the son of a Tang Dynasty prince?

What Cheng Jialong is not sure about now is whether he is a soul traveler or a body traveler. If it is a soul traveler, the guards will not be able to find out that he is a fake, but his parents and sisters will definitely find out.

Cheng Jialong was about to return the knife to the guard based on the principle of keeping his mouth shut and observing secretly. However, at this moment, he felt that he was dreaming?
Immediately, Cheng Jialong gently scratched the blade with his finger.

"hiss!"

Cheng Jialong obviously felt the pain, and seeing the blood flowing from his finger, he became even more excited: "I'm not dreaming!"

Seeing Cheng Jialong's finger bleeding, the guard turned pale with fright.

"do not be afraid!"

Only then did Cheng Jialong return Tang Hengdao to the guard, and then said with a smile: "Is there anything to eat, I'm hungry!"

"Humble job immediately inform the kitchen to prepare meals for the eldest son. I don't know if the eldest son has any special orders!"

"No, I am not taboo!"

Cheng Jialong turned around and returned to his study. He was going to have a deeper understanding of this strange era. Now he can probably be sure that he should have come to the Tang Dynasty.But I am not sure whether it is the early Tang Dynasty, the prosperous Tang Dynasty, or the late Tang Dynasty.

If it was the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, when Li Shimin and Li Zhi became emperors, then you have to be careful, honestly pretend to be a grandson, learn from Sima Yi, and kill them both. As long as Li Shimin and Li Zhi die, other Tang emperors will be nothing to worry about .

If it was the late Tang Dynasty, would I be preparing to rebel?
But the key is what to do with my parents in this time and space?If they found out that their son had changed, would they kill themselves?
Or, it is better to act first, parents worship the heavens, and the magic power is boundless?

Cheng Jialong is also thinking about the problem, what should he do next?Is it like the protagonist in the time-traveling novel, going against the sky, or just eating and waiting to die?
It seems that it is not his style to eat and wait for death. In the later generations, Cheng Jialong's spirit is actually very high. He has been practicing Sanda all these years after studying. The purpose is that one day he can be in the ring and win the game. Become a sports star.

Just when Cheng Jialong was thinking about it, he found a sharp knife from the desk. This kind of knife was only about ten centimeters long, with a handle, less than twenty centimeters, and a blade as wide as a finger. Cheng Jialong hurriedly Put this pocket knife away for emergencies.

Just when Cheng Jialong had just put away the knife, a gust of fragrant wind hit, with rings ding-dong and skirts fluttering, more than a dozen beautiful maids meandered over, carrying delicate dishes in their hands, abalone fished from the sea , sea cucumbers, shark fins, pheasants hunted from the black forest, wild deer, goats, lambs, fat cattle, and big fish caught in the river, all were made into delicacies and sent up like water prices. None of the ten dishes is the same.

Of course, considering Cheng Jialong's young age and small appetite, the portions of these dishes are not large. For example, two abalones make a plate, and there are only three slices of sea cucumbers. As for pheasant and beef, there are only four slices. This is very similar to those big hotels in the later generations that kill people without paying for their lives. If one person eats more than a dozen dishes, he may not be able to eat enough.

"I'm stupid, it's corrupt enough, the wine and meat of the wealthy family stinks, and the road is frozen to death, but I like it!"

Cheng Jialong picked up the chopsticks and started to gobble it up, but just after taking two bites, Cheng Jialong realized that something was wrong, he was a wealthy son of the Tang Dynasty, how could he have no manners?

Cheng Jialong has received etiquette training from the school. In fact, he doesn't need to study it deliberately. Tiancheng School is considered an elite school, and the tuition fee for one semester is more than 2. Anyway, it is impossible for working-class children to go to school in Tiancheng, because Forty to fifty thousand yuan a year is really unaffordable for ordinary families.

When they were in school, their teacher would teach them two etiquette classes every week. Cheng Jialong knew a little bit of the so-called aristocratic etiquette, one sentence for a gentleman, one sentence for a lady, smile before speaking, and bow every now and then.

Cheng Jialong became serious, tried to put on a smiling expression, and said to the surrounding maids: "Thank you!"

This made these maids feel flattered.In fact, most of the maids in Cheng's mansion are maids married by Zhu Weiti. Although they are older, these maids have received royal training, and their every move has an elegant temperament.

"Madam is here!"

There was a sound of singing and shouting outside the door, and Cheng Jialong got up hastily.

When Zhu Weiti walked in with Gu Ziyi, Cheng Jialong kept staring at Zhu Weiti. Zhu Weiti, who was dressed in a gorgeous dress, seemed to Cheng Jialong that Zhu Weiti looked like a fairy walking out of a painting. She was really beautiful. It must be overwhelming, but this is too young, right?

Cheng Jialong stared blankly at Zhu Weiti, a little at a loss.

Zhu Weiti stared at Cheng Jialong and asked indifferently: "Are you Cheng Jialong?"

"It's the child visiting the mother!"

Cheng Jialong didn't know what he was thinking, but he felt that as an eldest son, he should greet his wife as a child.

Hearing Cheng Jialong calling Zhu Weiti's mother, Zhu Weiti lost his composure in an instant.

You know, she was kind to Cheng Jiayue in every possible way, but Cheng Jiayue was only willing to call her Auntie, and never called her mother. Instead, Cheng Jialong called her mother when they first met.

"Good boy!"

Zhu Weiti stepped forward and took off the jade pendant casually.

This is a jade pendant shaped like a chime, with dragon patterns carved on it.

Cheng Jialong reached out to take the jade pendant, because Cheng Shijie opened the Longyue Antique Store in later generations, Cheng Jialong would also go to the store to play and learn the basics of jade identification from the chief appraiser in the store.

Cheng Jialong could tell that this was a jade pendant made of Hetian jade and made of mutton fat jade, and it was of a treasure-level jade quality.

"Thank you mother for the reward!"

Zhu Weiti looked at Cheng Jialong's beaming eyebrows, and said with a smile, "Ziyi!"

"The servant is here!"

Zhu Weiti laughed and said, "Go and get the tailor to come over and make some clothes for the eldest son!"

At this time, Cheng Jialong was wearing a denim suit, which is also the so-called beggar's outfit in later generations. In Zhu Weiti's view, Cheng Jialong probably suffered a lot. Seeing that his hands were much rougher than Cheng Jiayue's, and his skin was slightly darker, his fingers Calluses have also been worn out on the joints of the body, which should be due to frequent work.

Of course, Zhu Weiti's judgment was wrong, it was Cheng Jialong who practiced boxing.

After all, Cheng Jialong is 13 years old, and his future generations have sufficient nutrition. Although Cheng Jialong is only 1.7 years old, he is already [-] meters tall. It is estimated that he can grow to Cheng Shijie's height in a year at most.

Zhu Weiti and Cheng Jialong are not related by blood, so naturally they need to be taboo.

After Cheng Jialong finished his meal in a hurry, Gu Ziyi took the tailor to measure Cheng Jialong's body and prepare to sew clothes.

"elder sister!"

When Cheng Jialong was being measured, Cheng Jialong tried to ask: "What did my father do?"

"so rude!"

Gu Ziyi deliberately said with a straight face: "I am my aunt."

"Auntie!"

Cheng Jialong seemed to understand that this Gu Ziyi was his father's concubine, and the concubines of the wives in ancient times were usually concubines. Seeing that Zhu Weiti was too young, and Gu Ziyi was only sixteen or seventeen years old. Not a few years older than himself, Cheng Jialong murmured in his heart that his father was also an old cow eating young grass.

The size of Cheng Jialong's clothes had just been measured, and the tailor sent someone to send some adult clothes for Cheng Jialong to try on. There was nothing he could do. His figure was taller than most adult men in the Ming Dynasty, so it was just right for him to wear adult clothes. Small.

Just as Cheng Jialong got dressed.

"elder brother!"

Cheng Jialong was startled, he thought he was hallucinating.Although Cheng Jiayue didn't tell him the first time he passed away, he still knew that Cheng Jiayue, the little girl, was gone.

Could it be that, like himself, she also traveled to the Tang Dynasty because of her death?

Until now, Cheng Jialong thought he was traveling through the Tang Dynasty.

Cheng Jiayue came to Cheng Jialong, Cheng Jialong repeatedly confirmed that Cheng Jiayue was not dead, but a living person with a shadow on his body and warmth on his small face.

"Jiayue, miss me to death!"

Cheng Jialong was about to ask about this time and space through Cheng Jiayue, but Cheng Jiayue dragged Cheng Jialong to the panda house.

"Brother, what do you think this is?"

"panda!"

"This is my giant panda. If you want a giant panda, you can ask Aunt Zhu for it. She can find a giant panda!"

Cheng Jiayue began to show Cheng Jialong her good things, such as the beautiful and lovely Shih Tzu dog, the noble and elegant Persian cat, and the peacock.

The most important thing is that Cheng Jiayue also has her own exclusive carriage.

"Brother, let's go out and play!"

"it is good!"

Cheng Jialong happened to also want to ask Cheng Jiayue about the Tang Dynasty, he and Cheng Jiayue got into the carriage, came out from Ning Naval General Mansion, and watched the people coming and going on the street.

Cheng Jialong noticed the ground: "It's actually a concrete road!"

"What's so curious about cement roads!"

Cheng Jiayue pointed to the guards behind him: "Do they still have guns?"

"What era is it now?"

Cheng Jialong saw a newsstand on the side of the street that has disappeared since later generations, a small boxy house, hung with various newspapers and magazines.

"parking!"

The coachman hurriedly stopped, and before the coachman put down the bench of the carriage, Cheng Jialong jumped out of the carriage, took three steps at a time, and came to the newsstand, where he saw "Liaodong Times", "Liaodong Business Daily" and various newspapers , Cheng Jialong randomly picked up a copy of the Liaodong Times, and saw the headline on the front page read: "The former governor of Denglai, Mr. Sun Chuyang, was promoted to the governor of water transport and governor of Lu, Feng, Huai, and Yang!"

The detailed reports in the newspapers were because Li Zicheng attacked Guide Mansion, and Denglai Governor Sun Yuanhua led his new Denglai Army to the west to support Guide Mansion, and defeated Li Zicheng's army. , Yang Sifu, Denglai new army of [-], and the horse army of [-] are self-accompanied by the army and stationed in Fengyang.

"Li Zicheng, isn't this the end of the Ming Dynasty?"

Cheng Jialong found out the date of the newspaper, and at this time it was published on February 26th, the eighth year of Weiming Chongzhen.

Only then did Cheng Jialong realize that he had traveled to the Ming Dynasty.

"It's over, even if you want to be a playboy, you have no chance!"

Cheng Jiayue hasn't studied history yet, and he is not familiar with the general trend of history, but Cheng Jialong has. He knows that this is the last year of the Ming Dynasty. Their families were ruined and their families were destroyed. In the end, in order to survive, they revolted. In Shaanxi, West, Shanxi, Henan, Hebei, Hubei, and Sichuan, beacon fires were everywhere, and blood flowed like rivers. Human life is worth less than ants in such troubled times.

After a brutal fight, Li Zicheng finally broke into Beijing and sent the Ming Empire, which had lasted for nearly 300 years, to the grave.Then, the Qing Dynasty entered the customs, Li Zicheng was defeated, barbarism defeated civilization again, Jiading three massacres, Yangzhou ten days, Huguang filled Sichuan... half of the flowers and trees in the mountains and rivers were stained with blood.

Cheng Jialong, welcome to the end of Ming Dynasty.

"Fuck, it's the end of Ming Dynasty!"

Cheng Jialong became frightened, and he yelled at the sky: "God, are you playing with me, are you trying to play me to death, aren't you!? God, you heard, strike a thunder! Hit me, strike me Send it back to modern times, I don't want to stay in this troubled world..."

When Cheng Jialong was in a daze, Cheng Shijie came. In fact, he originally came with Cheng Jiayue, but, just like history, Zhang Xianzhong broke through Gushi in Henan and Huoqiu in Anhui and other counties, and pointed directly at the central government of the dynasty. The capital is Fengyang.

Zhang Xianzhong's troops surrounded Fengyang City in the foggy morning.In less than half a day, the [-] officers and soldiers guarding Fengyang were wiped out, the guard Zhu Guozheng and others were killed, Fengyang prefect Yan Rongxuan was captured, and after counting his crimes in front of the people, he was sentenced to death.Zhang Xianzhong distributed the victories and the grain in the treasury to the local poor farmers, also called the farmers and the people of the four townships, chopped down hundreds of thousands of pines and cypresses from the imperial mausoleum, and demolished the surrounding buildings and Longxing, where Zhu Yuanzhang became a monk. Temple (also known as Huangjue Temple), and then dug the emperor's ancestral tomb, and at the same time killed all the rich households in Fengyang.

After hearing the news, Emperor Chongzhen immediately put on mourning clothes, ran to the Taimiao and cried loudly; he also ordered court officials to conduct official business in plain clothes and vegetarian food, expressing condolences.Emperor Chongzhen withdrew his post as minister of the Ministry of War, cut off the heads of the governor of Fengyang and the censor, and pulled out the governors of the five provinces who had been dismissed for a long time and sentenced him to death.Despite the harshness, the official army still couldn't stop the attack of Zhang Xianzhong's troops.

After Zhang Xianzhong captured Fengyang, he sent his troops south again, successively conquering Luzhou (now Hefei, Anhui), Anqing, Hezhou, and Chuzhou. In history, Emperor Chongzhen had no choice but in this time and space, Emperor Chongzhen still had Cheng Shijie available, so , He quickly dismissed the memorial of King Liao's request to change the fief, and ordered Cheng Shijie to lead the Ning Navy to the south to counter the rebellion.

Because Cheng Shijie was delayed while accepting the imperial edict, he never thought that Cheng Jialong would actually yell in the street, humiliating Cheng Shijie.

"go home!"

Cheng Jialong looked at Cheng Shijie's unkind expression, and said anxiously: "Father, my dear father, don't you know what era it is?"

"You think I don't know?"

"Since you know, why don't you raise the flag to rebel?"

"I'm against you big-headed ghost!"

Cheng Shijie spent half an hour telling Cheng Jialong and Cheng Jiayue what had happened in the past few years since he came to the Ming Dynasty.

It was only then that Cheng Jialong realized that he was now the young commander of the Ming Ning Navy, and he was also the son of Haiguo, and he also knew that his father Cheng Shijie was now the biggest warlord of the Ming Dynasty.

After getting these things, Cheng Jialong heaved a sigh of relief.

With my father's 30 million troops, I can save my life.

Now that Cheng Jialong came to Daming, Cheng Shijie naturally took Cheng Jialong to meet the generals of the Ning Navy and all the committee-level officials of the Liaodong Management Committee.

Cheng Jialong, who was dressed in fancy clothes, was very excited, and only then did he realize how much money Cheng Shijie had made.

"Greetings, Eldest Young Master, and Young Marshal!"

Cheng Shijie took Cheng Jialong to participate in the military meeting of the Ning Navy. Apart from Li Weiluan who was far away in Batavia, Liu Qingsong who was far away in Luzon, and Chen Dayong who was far away in Dayuan, the people who participated in this military meeting were like Changyu, Shen Mingyu, Chen Guodong, Zhou Yandong, Zhou An, Meng En, Zhao Wencai, Qiao Siniang, Li Zhixiang, Yuan Shiliang and other generals all participated.

At this meeting, Cheng Shijie said straight to the point: "Your Majesty's imperial decree has been issued, and the fire ticket from the Ministry of War has also been sent to the General Staff. Are you all clear about what to do?"

All the generals shouted in unison: "It's clear!"

Cheng Shijie said: "This time when we sent troops to suppress the rebellion, the commander never doubted that our Ning Haijun could tear those damned rebels into pieces with an overwhelming advantage. What bothers me the most is that these rebels have engulfed hundreds of thousands of people. , these people are the human resources we need most!"

Luzon’s settlement work is continuing. No matter if it is Daguan or Luzon, including Medan, people need people. People are not afraid of immigrating to Liaodong. After all, Liaodong is now famous and rich, but Luzon and Dayuan can survive. The environment is not good, and the common people don't want to go.

If you want to immigrate, you can only use coercive means, and countering the rebellion like this, directly capturing the rebels and their family members, is the most economical immigration job.

Zhou An got up and said: "Commander, we can now transfer at least three large ships with more than [-] materials, plus the main fleet of the Ning Navy Navy, why not just send the troops to Wusongkou, change to sand boats, and go upstream , control the Yangtze River, and block Zhang Xianzhong's troops in Jiangbei!"

From the perspective of the General Staff of the Ning Navy, this is actually just an armed march. The most critical and troublesome task is to transport a large amount of food and capture these rebel populations.

The way of transportation by water is to go north from the Yangtze River, which is the most trouble-free thing. Once you reach the north of the Yangtze River, it will not be a big problem. You can capture the people and let them transport the military food up by human transportation.

In this battle goal, Cheng Shijie planned to pack up the people in Jiangbei, together with the good people, and planned to immigrate more than one million at a time.

Since ancient times, water transportation has always been the most convenient and cost-effective mode of transportation. Since the Qin and Han Dynasties, emperors of all dynasties have dug Grand Canals to connect the Yellow River, Yangtze River, Huaihe River and other water systems. The continuous flow of blood to the center of the empire has contributed to the prosperity of the north for thousands of years. ,

However, with the flooding of the Yellow River, river sand silting, coupled with poor dredging of the canals, since the Song Dynasty, these ancient canals have been silted up one by one, losing their ability to transport water.The Ming Dynasty established its capital in Beijing, and the water transport moved eastward. The canals in the Central Plains and Guanzhong completely lost their strategic significance. The Ming Dynasty did not make great efforts to renovate these inland canals.

How convenient it would be if the inland canal remained open.It's a pity that these canals are now terribly clogged.

The plan was quickly formulated. Cheng Shijie personally led the guards, cavalry, and artillery capitals, a total of more than [-] people, to the expedition. Zhou Yandong, Chen Guodong, and Sun Zhilian stayed behind in Liaodong.

At the same time, Cheng Shijie's eldest son Cheng Jialong Cheng, the eldest son of Cheng Shijie, stayed behind in Liaodong.

The return of Cheng Jialong has greatly increased the confidence of Liaodong Ninghai Group. Now Cheng Jialong is 13 years old, and he is about to become an adult.The Ming Dynasty stipulated that all men aged sixteen (false years old) and women over fourteen years old should be allowed to marry, that is, if a man and a woman want to get married, the man must be 16 years old and the woman must be 14 years old.

And Cheng Jialong is only fourteen years old, and he can get married in two years at most.

Cheng Shijie marched, and Zhu Weiti, Cheng Jialong and Cheng Jiayue came to see him off.

"Jialong, be obedient at home!"

"Dad, don't worry, I will be obedient!"

Cheng Jialong said sincerely.

Cheng Shijie looked at Cheng Jialong and said, "You are my son, as soon as you poke your butt, I will know what shit you will suck, Yongyan!"

"Big guy!"

"I will give you the horsewhip. If Cheng Jialong is disobedient, give me a whip!"

Cheng Shijie gave Sun Zhichen the whip in his hand.
