I'm a big dick

Chapter 175 Nicholas is an official, severely punished
The waves beat against the big ship, causing the ship to heave.But for people who have traveled the sea for many years, walking on a boat is like walking on flat ground.

Huang Cheng, a Guangdong sea merchant, stroked his beard, held on to the side of the boat, and thoughtfully looked at the vast sea.

"Uncle." Zheng Zhilong came over, handed a telescope to his uncle, and said, "Will I be suppressed by Li Dan and Yan Siqi when I go to Shanghai?"

Maritime merchants are also divided into gangs, such as Zhangzhou Gang, Quanzhou Gang, Guangzhou, etc.

Huang Cheng smiled, took the binoculars and lifted them up to look out. After a long while, he put them down and said, "I'm an official, the sea is so vast, even Li Dan and Yan Siqi can dominate it?"

"Besides, the imperial court is in charge now, and they can't cover the sky with one hand." Huang Cheng said in a deep voice, "It's a powerful move to place a flag in a book, and it's extremely clever to give a noble to return home. I never thought that even Li Dan would Such a giant will also be subdued."

Zheng Zhilong, nicknamed an official, was 17 years old, and because of family difficulties, he and his younger brother went to Xiangshan Macao (Macau) to travel overseas with his uncle Huang Cheng.

In the process of doing business, Zheng Zhilong was influenced by the Portuguese when dealing with them, and accepted the baptism of Catholicism, and his Christian name was Nicholas Gasbard, also known as Nicholas Yiguan.

Zheng Zhilong is also a language genius, not only Hokkien and Portuguese, but also Japanese, Dutch, and Spanish.

Hearing his uncle's emotion, Zheng Zhilong didn't take it seriously, and said: "The imperial court and the Japanese kingdom, if Li Dan wants to resist, he can only go to Nanyang. How can he give up the business he has been running for many years?"

"Besides, Li Dan looks powerful on the surface, but how many sea merchants are attached to him, rather than absolutely loyal." Zheng Zhilong pursed his lips, with a bit of sneer, "If he doesn't know the current affairs, such a powerful force will also It will fall apart."

Huang Cheng nodded slightly, looked at his nephew with admiration, and said with a smile: "The official saw it clearly, and Li Dan also knew this, so he obeyed obediently. It was also he who saw the opportunity quickly, but he took the lead and won the court. Appreciate reuse."

Zheng Zhilong agrees with this very much, he scorns and ridicules in words, but he has to admire Li Dan's decisive judgment in his heart.

"The imperial court wants to recruit people who are proficient in the languages ​​of various countries. Is an official willing to give it a try?" Huang Cheng looked at his nephew expectantly and said, "Maybe this is an opportunity to make a fortune!"

Zheng Zhilong pondered and didn't answer right away, and Huang Cheng didn't urge him. He patted his nephew's strong arm vigorously, then turned around and looked around with a telescope.

The imperial court is very different from before.

Uncle's idea, of course, is to hope that he can stand out. There are people in the court who are good at being officials, and maybe he can take care of him in the future when he is doing business.

But Zheng Zhilong fell into deep thought, not thinking clearly whether he should go or not.

…………… Divider……………

Starting from June and July of the second year of Tianqi, all parts of Daming gradually felt the changes.

It's just that some people feel less obvious, and some people feel serious.

The opening of the sea ban and the planting of the flag in accordance with the book are a great touch for maritime merchants, and they must actively or passively participate in the process of reshuffle;
The clearing of the settlements and the granting of land to the officials gave many military households and ordinary peasant households in the guards arable land and hope of living;
The rotation training of martial arts and the formation and training of the new army affected officers and soldiers from north to south, and also changed the composition and combat methods of the Ming army;

From the central government to the local government, officials were dismissed and resigned at an astonishing speed and quantity, shaking the political arena of Ming Dynasty.

But everyone who understands knows that this may be just the beginning, and there will be bigger and more policy measures in the future.

In fact, greater changes are taking place in Shaanxi, Henan, Shanxi, and North Zhili, or they can be used as previews for other places.

Looking at the head hanging on the city gate, Yulin Wei Qianhu Zhao Huaili swallowed hard, lowered his head and urged his horse to enter the city.

The court's three-month grace period has passed, but no one thought that the severe punishment would be beheading for public display.

The head hanging on the gate of the city belonged to the official in charge of the village in Yulin. He "invaded the farmland and occupied it as a business, and his ancestors and grandchildren successively occupied it freely. Everyone should accept the grain of the village, but not the grain..."

That is to say, the officer in charge of the village should have been lucky, thinking that after a long time, the occupied farmland has become private property and should not be found out.

But he and some people were wrong. As soon as the deadline came, they were taken down by soldiers at a meeting held by Governor Zuo Guangdou.Jin Yiwei read out the imperial decree and launched the beheading immediately, without any delay.

Immediately afterwards, news came that Zhu Cunshu, King of Qin, had been severely punished by the emperor for invading the army, and had been escorted to Beijing by the Dongchang fanzi.

If Guan Tunguan's head is not enough, then add another vassal.The court's severe punishment came down suddenly and sharply.

In fact, that's all. Although Henan and Shanxi had military officers killed for invading fields, there were not many of them.

But once the news spread, who would dare to continue to "resist strictness".

The land-invading officials and gentry, whose luck was broken, rushed to the governor's office as quickly as possible, crying and begging to return the land, fearing that they would be severely punished if they were too late.

Zhao Huaili witnessed this scene, and he was still heartbroken to hand over the farm.But seeing the severed head of the dead and the ugly appearance of those officials and gentry, he felt lucky again, even a little happy.

Humans are like this, always looking at the interests of others to weigh whether their own decisions are correct.

If there was no such severe punishment, Zhao Huaili would definitely regret it, complaining about his timidity, and thinking about getting it back in the future.

But when he saw that those lucky guys were unlucky, he admired himself for being wise and decisive. Abandoning the property, he was safe and saved his life.

When he arrived at the yamen of the military preparation envoy in the city, many officers from the guard station had already arrived. Zhao Huaili got off his horse and went forward, chatting with the familiar officers.

"Master Sun has been promoted again." Some people murmured in a low voice, "Now I am the commander of the capital, the governor of Shaanxi Military Affairs."

Zhao Huaili immediately pricked up his ears, he really didn't know the news.

"Qingtun has done a good job of paying the wages, and the imperial court rewards him for his merits!" Someone smacked his lips enviously: "However, this holy family really has nothing to say. Mr. Sun came to Shaanxi just over half a year ago, right?"

Mr. Li Qian nudged Zhao Huaili with his elbow, and said, "The You family has made a lot of progress. I heard that Lao Wang is going to send his son to martial arts. Do you want to go to the capital to study martial arts?"

Zhao Huaili laughed twice, and said: "Your information is not accurate, why did you hear that Lao Wang returned the farmland, and was so angry that you couldn't get out of bed?"

"It's not yours in the first place, aren't you still waiting to lose your head?" Mr. Li Qian shook his head and said, "Besides, we warriors can get mad because of that little thing?"

While talking, a sound of horseshoes approaching from a distance attracted everyone's attention.

yeah?It's Mr. Wang Wei, this spirited man, how can he look sick?And Mr. Hou, why did you come out?
