My father Zhu Gaoxu

Chapter 157 Zhu Gaoxu is Cochin

I saw Zhu Gaoxu glanced at Li Li and the others, and then threw the head in his hand in front of everyone and said: "The Chen family in Guteng County is the closest to here. They should have arrived first, but they deliberately refused to listen to the king's orders. Now Give the head!"

The head of the Chen family rolled past in front of Li Li and the others, and even those with sharp eyes recognized it at a glance.

You must know that the Chen family has been entrenched in Guteng County for many years. It is said that they are still distant relatives of the royal family of the Chen Dynasty. , Even the head was brought over by the King of Han.

"The king of Han is mighty, and the Chen family has already caused anger and resentment for the rampant lawlessness in Guteng County. Fortunately, His Highness upholds justice for the people. It is really a blessing to Ming Dynasty!"

Huang Fu was the first to stand up and complimented, and Sun Xin and Yang Shiqi also stood up and praised.

Only then did Li Li and the others come to their senses, and immediately expressed their opinions, denouncing Chen's crimes. In the end, it seemed that even if Zhu Gaoxu didn't do anything, they would be the first to kill Chen's.

Watching the performances of these tyrants, Zhu Gaoxu and Yang Shiqi looked at each other, and they also looked at each other and smiled.

The Qinghua mansion incident was completely planned by Yang Shiqi behind the scenes. The purpose was not just to destroy the powerful local forces, but the real highlight was next.

"Feast!"

Following Zhu Gaoxu's order, servants immediately brought sumptuous food and wine.

Although Zhu Gaoxu was covered in blood, he didn't bother to change his clothes, and sat directly on the main seat, chatting and laughing with Yang Shiqi and others while eating and drinking.

When Li Li and the others saw Zhu Gaoxu being so heroic, they were all secretly startled, especially Li Li, thinking of some cruel legends about this His Highness the King of Han made him even more terrified, and secretly warned himself not to provoke him.

"Report~, the Hu family in Hezhong is here!"

At this moment, suddenly only the sound of an order came from outside.

The Hu family in Hezhong County is also a well-known tyrant in Tsinghua Prefecture. Li Li and others were secretly relieved when they heard that the other party was coming. At least the Hu family was subdued and should be able to save their lives.

However, what Li Li and others did not expect was that instead of the head of the Hu family, the head came.

I saw a soldier of the Ming army walking into the inner hall with a head in his hand. Looking at the head in his hand, it was the head of the Hu clan.

"Another ignorant thing! Put it down!"

Zhu Gaoxu snorted coldly, and drank the wine in his hand.

"Report~, An Le Ruan is here!"

Following the sound of the alarm, another human head was sent in, followed by a third and a fourth...

There were more and more heads, and Li Li and other tyrants turned pale with fright. These tycoons usually dominate one side, and many of them are even their acquaintances, but now there is only one head left, which was sent to the banquet for people to watch.

In the end, the entire floor of the inner hall was almost covered. Facing the dead heads, Zhu Gaoxu was able to talk and laugh freely, which didn't affect him at all.

Looking at Li Li and the others, some of the timid ones were about to collapse on the ground. Even the brave ones couldn't eat or drink in the face of so many heads. It was lucky that they didn't spit it out.

Finally, Zhu Gaoxu had enough to eat and drink, and then he smiled at Li Li and the others: "You guys remember, even if the person I Zhu Gaoxu wants to invite has been turned into ashes, I have to send the ashes here!"

"Your Majesty promises everything, these people don't know how to praise, they really deserve death!"

Li Li wiped the cold sweat off his forehead, and immediately spoke first.

"Very good, my father asked me to come to a place like Cochin, where the birds don't shit. I am also worried that I have nowhere to vent my evil fire. If any of you are not convinced, just come and try!"

As Zhu Gaoxu spoke, he glanced at everyone again, but no one dared to look at him.

Zhu Gaoxu's words were not false. After all, he had held back in Daming for more than ten years and hadn't been on the battlefield. Now that he came to Jiaozhi, he vented all the anger he held back on these gangsters.

"Yang Changshi, announce the king's second order!"

Zhu Gaoxu drank the wine in the glass in one gulp, and then gave Yang Shiqi instructions.

"Yes!"

Yang Shiqi stood up with a promise, and said loudly: "His Royal Highness has an order to requisition the large ships of various families, and there are also craftsmen and young men to build ships. Do you have any objections to this?"

Although Li Li and the others felt strange about this order, they breathed a sigh of relief. After all, they only requisitioned ships, craftsmen, and young men, and did not kill them. It was the so-called avoidance of disaster by spending money, so they all agreed in unison.

Seeing that Li Li and others agreed, Yang Shiqi also showed a satisfied smile. This is the main purpose of him and Zhu Gaoxu.

After all, sailing to the west definitely needs a ship, relying on Zheng He's blessed ship alone is not enough to transport troops. In addition, Zhu Gaoxu does not want to hand over his lifeline to others, so he must have his own fleet.

On the side of Cochin near the sea, many Cochin people are either maritime merchants or pirates. Tsinghua Prefecture has a large population, so there are naturally many maritime merchants, and even many tycoons themselves are large merchants. Shipbuilding workshop.

That's why Zhu Gaoxu turned his target to Tsinghua Mansion after he came to Jiaozhi. Needless to say, those tyrants who were exterminated, all their properties were confiscated.

Those craftsmen and young adults that Zhu Gaoxu confiscated did not plan to return them, and they would also take them to Tianzhu in the future.

Li Li and the others didn't know Zhu Gaoxu's sinister intentions. They thought that they were just working for the court like normal labor, but they didn't expect that these people would never return.

"Your Highness, taking advantage of everyone's presence today, I also have a government announcement to make!"

At this moment, Huang Fu suddenly smiled and said.

"President Huang, please speak!"

Zhu Gaoxu waved his hand and smiled.

Huang Fu, like Xia Yuanji, was an old minister of Emperor Jianwen, but Zhu Di did not question him later, but still reused him. During his guarding of Jiaozhi, he also made quite a lot of political achievements. In addition to Qinghua Mansion, other places in Jiaozhi were also governed. Pretty good.

"The hajj inspection is done every three years. Although Cochin is remote, some officials still need to be sent to Beijing every time. This year is just the turn of Thanh Hoa Prefecture, so everyone here should be prepared to leave for Beijing in ten days! "

Huang Fu looked at everyone present with a smile.

When Li Li and the others heard the words "pilgrimage inspection", their faces changed drastically.

The so-called pilgrimage inspection was a rule set by Zhu Yuanzhang at the beginning, which was specifically aimed at magistrates. At the beginning, it was stipulated that magistrates must go to Beijing for a pilgrimage once a year to accept the assessment of the emperor and the officials.

This regulation was completely thought up by Lao Zhu. It is not reasonable at all. Officials near the capital can do it, but officials in remote areas may take a year to go back and forth. If it is really implemented, then these Officials don't do other things for a year, they just run back and forth on the road.

Therefore, the pilgrimage was later changed to once every three years, but officials in particularly remote areas, or areas in war-torn and unstable areas, were exempted from going to Beijing.

Jiaozhi obviously satisfies the above two requirements. Local officials do not need to go to Beijing, but Huang Fu now proposes to let Li Li and others go to Beijing. It's about to change completely.
