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

Chapter 456 Prelude to the Storm
Chapter 486

Australia, this is not the Zhanzhou of the Ming Dynasty. The only facility with a modern and civilized atmosphere is actually this simple pier. This pier has actually just been built. The wooden trestle has not even been treated with bark, let alone Dry in the shade, so that the newly cut wood cannot actually be used as wood for the wharf.

However, the problem is that the conditions are so simple that even temporarily cut wood has to be transported from the woods more than ten miles away.

Wang Yangxi looked at a camp that had just been established in the distance. Wooden piles and barbed wire were used to form a barrier around them. All kinds of strange animals were hanging from the barbed wire, which showed that this place was not peaceful.

Wang Yangxi's heart went cold. How dare the court go to such great lengths just to throw them into this hellish place where rabbits can't poop and birds can't lay eggs!

With a glimmer of hope, Wang Yangxi ran over and asked the officer with whom she could get along well: "What kind of place is this place? Why is it so desolate?"

The officer glanced at him and said, "Here? I don't know what kind of place this is. It's my first time here. The boss said it's Zhanzhou, so it must be Zhanzhou."

"Zhanzhou?"

Wang Yangxi's heart became even colder: "Why have I never heard of this place? Zhanzhou, Zhanzhou... I remembered that in the first year of Hongwu, the Nanning Army in Guangxi, and in the third year of Hongwu, the military number of the Nanning Army was abolished and changed to If Danzhou is established, it still belongs to Qiongzhou Prefecture. In the 19th year of Hongwu's reign, Danzhou was renamed Yazhou. Is this the Qiongzhou Prefecture?"

"What are you thinking about? Returning to Qiongzhou Mansion? We stopped at Qiongzhou Mansion two months ago!"

The officer explained: "This does not belong to the two capitals and thirteen provinces of the Ming Dynasty. This is the newly developed territory of the Ming Dynasty. Do you understand? Our navy has opened up a territory overseas that is as vast as the Ming Dynasty itself!"

Wang Yangxi roared: "This damn place is so desolate, why should it be used for something else!"

The officer gave a rare smile, and his smile seemed a bit gloating: "Desolate? Of course it's desolate. If it wasn't desolate, what would you do?"

Wang Yangxi felt as if he were mourning his heir.Of course it's not Rusang. In fact, his father Wang Yingxiong and mother Zhao are both dead.

Wang Yangxi fell to the ground, feeling hopeless.

The officer stepped forward and patted Wang Yangxi on the shoulder, pointing to a raised mountain range in the distance: "Have you seen that mountain range? According to the information given by the superiors, there is a good iron ore vein there, and the quality of the iron ore produced there is Excellent, a piece of ore is almost like a piece of natural pig iron, which is many times stronger than the iron ore in Ming Dynasty!"

Wang Yangxi said in disbelief: "How is this possible?"

"Otherwise, how could the superiors spend so much effort developing this place?"

The officer smiled and said: "Do you think it doesn't cost money to transport you here? We spent more than ten taels of silver on this trip just for transportation and food and drink. Including medicines, we can't make it without two or thirty taels of silver. Naturally, the superiors will not It may be a loss-making business!”

At this point, the officer pointed to the hilltop that continued to smoke and said: "Sulfur is rich there. According to preliminary investigations, as long as there are enough people, at least 10,000+ kilograms of sulfur can be collected there in a month. This is a good thing!"

The ominous premonition in Wang Yangxi's heart became stronger and stronger.

"Look at this land. It's the dry season now and it looks barren. In fact, that's not the case. As soon as the rainy season arrives, this area will become lush and full of life. We will reclaim the land here to plant wheat, cotton, and sugar cane. Wait for the crops!”

The officer probably thought that Wang Yangxi was quite pleasing to his eye, so he pointed to the coastal plain with interest and said: "We will continue to expand inland until we are self-sufficient, and finally turn this entire continent into the territory of the Ming Dynasty! There is an island over there, don't look at it It is not very eye-catching, but in fact there is a thick layer of seaguano stored underneath. As long as the island guano is dug out and made into phosphate fertilizer, within a few years this place will become a large farm with abundant products!"

The officer became happier and happier as he chatted, seemingly unaware that those responsible for supervising the work of the exiles were actually similar to the exiles.

There is no way, people are just happy. The superiors have said that if you are willing to serve overseas, you can get double the salary and get priority promotion opportunities. For those ambitious officers who have not been able to catch up with the war, this It's very attractive. After a few years, you can get a priority promotion opportunity. Who wouldn't be tempted?

As for the difficult conditions... As a member of the Royal Army of the Ming Dynasty, serving as a soldier has always been the 19th level of hell. Being a soldier is not just a vacation, so why don't you want to live as comfortable as you can?

If you want to live a comfortable life, don't become a soldier.

Wang Yangxi bowed and asked, "I don't know what your surname is?"

The officer smiled and said: "My surname is Chen and my given name is Dachun. I can tell you that I came from Dengzhou Guard!"

Wang Yangxi stared at the collar badge on Chen Dachun's collar: "Can an officer from Dengzhou Guard still be able to do the same thing?"

"You don't know that!"

Chen Dachun said: "When the regent of the country just came to Dengzhou Weizuo Qianhu to take office, I was the one who saw the door of Qianhu Office, and I even opened the door for Marshal Cheng!"

"How did you manage to get so miserable?"

Wang Yangxi couldn't figure it out. Chen Dachun could be considered a direct descendant of Cheng Shijie. As the saying goes, if one person achieves enlightenment, chickens and dogs ascend to heaven, how could there be such a low-level direct descendant?
Chen Dachun opened his collar, exposed the wound on his body and said, "Did you see it? When the ruthless bandit King Qin attacked Zuo Qianhu's post in Dengzhou, I was shot. The bullet hit his heart, only an inch. Fortunately, I Marshal asked the military doctor to treat me. It took more than two years of treatment before I recovered. However, for more than two years, I missed several battles in Ning Haijun's work as a slave. When I recovered and returned to the army, Marshal Cheng married me a wife... …”

Chen Dachun seemed to have opened up a chatterbox, telling him one by one his experiences following Cheng Shijie over the years. This Chen Dachun was also unlucky. He had already been three up and three down. If he didn't make mistakes, he would at least be a colonel-level brigade commander.

The key to the problem is his mother. Chen Dachun's mother Qin has been partial to his eldest brother's son and nephew Chen Fugui since she was a child. When his mother was ill, she was very weak and there was no food at home. It was his sister-in-law Lin who used He fed his mother with milk, and his mother ate her sister-in-law's milk for more than half a month.

Just because he owed his sister-in-law a life, Chen Fugui, that bastard, his father died early, so he couldn't cheat his father, so he only cheated his uncle.

When Chen Dachun was finally promoted to the position of commander-in-chief, Chen Fugui made a neighbor's girl pregnant. This guy relied on Chen Dachun as the commander-in-chief and even threatened and intimidated the other party. Therefore, Chen Dachun was reported, and then Once you get down to the bottom, you become the leader.

He was transferred to Guangning to serve as a garrison soldier of the Guangning Garrison Bureau. From a soldier to a commander, Chen Fugui made another mistake. He actually relied on a son of the Dengzhou clan to form a gang while he was in school. Pai collected protection money at school and stole his own revolver to threaten his classmates.

This nature is more serious. Chen Dachun was imprisoned for three days, and was demoted from the general to the [-] households in the tuntian. He did a good job leading the [-] households in the tuntian, and was promoted again. When he came to the capital, he was finally promoted. When he arrived at the supply camp, he unexpectedly encountered an explosion in the arsenal.

Of course, it was not his responsibility at that time, but he was injured in the bombing and was raised for more than six months. He finally entered the military academy for further study. In the end, his nephew actually provoked Marshal Cheng. Fortunately, Marshal Cheng was a reasonable man and did not He must be held accountable, otherwise, in the previous court, his head would have been chopped off several times.

"You are really lucky to be alive until now!"

"Who said no!"

Wang Yangxi asked: "Is your mother still protecting your nephew?"

"I can't protect you!"

Chen Dachun smiled honestly: "I coaxed that idiot to join the army. Hehe, I didn't expect that this bastard was doing well in the army. His marksmanship and stabbing skills were all... very powerful. It is said that he became a naval battleship. The gunner on top is at the level of team leader, so he can surpass me in a few years!"

After Chen Dachun finished talking about his own affairs, he pointed at the vast continent and talked about development plans. His optimistic and enthusiastic look was completely different from the cold and irritable person before docking. Could Chen Dachun have taken it as a trap? Consider yourself the master of this continent!
Wang Yangxi made a growl in his throat and asked cautiously: "We were exiled here...to do this kind of work?"

Chen Dachun looked at this guy with a sincere look of care for the mentally retarded: "Of course! Do you think we sent you here all the way to invite you to travel and vacation?" Wang Yangxi said desperately: "I won't do it! Even being lingchi is better than being thrown into this hellish place!"

Chen Dachun pointed to the vast sea: "If you have the ability, swim back. We promise not to stop you."

Wang Yangxi looked at the boundless sea and felt even more desperate.It seems that the supervisors of the labor camp in Zhanzhou are the most worry-free. They don't have to worry about the prisoners escaping, because no prisoner has the ability to swim back to the Ming Dynasty.

Even if they escaped from the labor camp, they would have no place to go. At least they could stay with their compatriots and be cared for in the labor camp. How they died after escaping to the wilderness is unknown. What if they fell into the hands of those natives who drink blood from their hair? Inside, maybe it will be worn on the barbecue grill until it becomes sizzling and oily...

Therefore, it is better to enter labor reform honestly!

……

Jinzhou is located in the palace of Guangping Palace.

Xiang Hui slowly opened her eyes, and she found that she was in an antique spacious room with carved beams, luxurious decorations, and red windows and curtains. This seemed like an ancient building in a TV series?

Xiang Hui's eyes moved. At this moment, she suddenly heard a girl's voice: "The princess is awake, the princess is awake..."

Xiang Hui was even more confused: "Princess? Have I traveled through time?"

Xiang Hui remembers clearly that it was the anniversary of Cheng Jiayue's death, and she was in a very bad mood. When she dreamed at night, she dreamed of Cheng Jiayue, and her pillow was wet with her tears.

Cheng Jialong was very sensible. He cooked a table full of dishes at home and persuaded himself to drink from time to time, saying that getting drunk would solve a thousand worries. As a result, Xiang Hui drank for the first time.

When she woke up, she found herself in a completely unfamiliar environment.

There are even strangers around.

Just when she was thinking about it, she heard messy footsteps.

Then Xiang Hui saw a large group of women in ancient costumes walking into the dormitory. The leading woman was extremely gorgeously dressed. She had an oval face and wore light makeup, which made her look very pretty.

The other party's age is about 21 or [-] years old. Women can judge more accurately by looking at a woman's age. Behind the woman wearing a dingdong is a woman wearing a blue gown, combing her hair like a man in a costume TV series. Hair on the temples.

The leading woman was none other than Zhu Weiti, and the men's clothing was Yang Yuniang, followed by Gu Ziyi, Jin Qiao'er, Yang Waner, and Cheng Shijie's nominal concubines, including the palace maids and eunuchs in the palace.

Zhu Weiti stepped forward and helped Xiang Hui sit up, and said softly: "Sister, you're awake. How do you feel? Where do you feel uncomfortable? Do you want the imperial doctor to come over and take a look..."

Speaking of this, Zhu Weiti hurriedly said: "Ziyi, send someone to ask Dean Yang to come over and treat the princess..."

Before Zhu Weiti could finish speaking, Xiang Hui covered his head and asked, "Wait, I'm fine, who are you?"

Xiang Hui looked at the person in front of her, especially feeling the warmth from Zhu Weiti's hand. She even pinched herself. It really hurt. Obviously this was not a dream.

Could it be that he crossed over by himself?

Xiang Hui traveled to a royal palace?
And became a princess?
Zhu Weiti bowed and said: "Sister, I am Zhu Weiti, you can do eight, you can call me Weiti, or you can call me Banniang, I am the side princess, and this is Yunniang!"

"Sister, please come and bow to Yun Niang!"

Yang Yunniang knelt on the ground and said, "I am a noble concubine now!"

Then, Jin Qiaoer, Yang Waner and others came to greet them one after another and reported their identities.

Xiang Hui is also a businessman. She remembers the identity of every beautiful woman at a glance. She feels that something is not right. Why is it chaotic?
You should know that the harem of a vassal king is much simpler than that of an emperor. It can only have four levels: princess, second concubine, madam, and palace servant.

The concubines below the second concubine of the feudal prince are not called concubines, but are only called palace servants.Palace servants who have children can be promoted to wives after their children are granted the title, but without the corresponding title and title, it can be said to be in name only.

It is even more difficult to be promoted to a second concubine. Generally, only the biological mother of a concubine who has been granted a royal title, and a concubine who is favored by the feudal king can be promoted to the title of second concubine.

But although Cheng Shijie is the regent, his surname is Cheng, not Zhu, so he cannot be a vassal king. The ministers of the Dingxin Dynasty have always been worried that Cheng Shijie will live for Cao Cao for the sake of reputation, and he will not be given the title of God. Since then, , it’s troublesome.

You know, Cao Cao was already very old when he was promoted to the title of King of Wei, but Cheng Shijie is now in his prime. If he is not the emperor, he will have to wait a long time.

As a result, the cabinet members of the Dingxin Dynasty headed by Sun Zhidao began to take a detour to save the country. When Cheng Shijie's road failed, they began to follow Zhu Weiti's route.

Although the princess is not called the queen, she starts from the noble concubine. Yang Yunniang is the noble concubine, Jin Qiaoer is the Shufei, and Yang Waner is the De concubine. The other girls also went to Zhaoyi, Zhaorong, Zhaoyuan, Xiuyi, Xiurong, and Xiuyuan. Yuan, Chongyi, etc.

After everyone saw the ceremony, Xiang Hui became even more confused.

Until then, a girl wearing palace clothes walked towards Xiang Hui. This girl was dressed in gorgeous clothes, followed by four palace maidens, and rushed towards Xiang Hui.

When Xiang Hui looked at this girl, why did she feel like the dead Cheng Jiayue?

Perhaps she was too excited. When the girl entered the gate, she fell to the ground. The palace ladies around her hurriedly stepped forward to help her, but the girl's face was full of tears and she was sobbing.

Xiang Hui ignored everything and stepped forward to hug the girl, fearing that the girl would fly away.

After a long time, Cheng Jiayue murmured: "Mom, you hurt me!"

Xiang Hui was stunned. Why did the girl's voice sound the same as Cheng Jiayue's?
Outside the bedroom, Cheng Shijie was smoking cigarettes one after another.

Cheng Jialong looked at the frowning Cheng Shijie and said, "Dad, you still have to face what you have to face. My son can't help you, but I can prove that you are worthy of my mother and have protected her for so many years!"

Cheng Shijie looked at the palace, feeling that this was the prelude to the coming storm.

Sure enough, Xiang Hui's roaring voice came from inside: "Cheng Shijie, come out!"
