Chapter 205.

Sometimes Zhang Anshi had to admire Yao Guangxiao.

Don’t look at him as a Buddhist, but he’s not as pedantic as other monks.

Once he was allowed to witness the technique of burning sherds.

This Yao Guangxiao will never be disgusted by this thing, but not only that, it will also breed curiosity.

Everything, everything was available to him, and he came to whatever could be of use to him.

But you’re going to say he’s a fake monk.

He favored and really believed in the Buddha, and even after making such a great achievement, he could still happily be his monk, and by and large still follow the original intention of a monk.

For such people, Zhang Anshi s comments are often …… perverted.

Of course, facing Yao Guangxiao, Zhang Anshi maintained humility and patience.

Because Zhang Anshi could not predict the consequences of offending his old man, after all, people monks are part-time, the whole person is a professional.

At this time, Zhang Anshi said, “This …… this …… how to try?”

“When a monk dies in the future, the poor monk will inform you.” Yao Guangxiao smiled and said, “Of course …… this matter should be kept secret, the poor monk will be the biggest one.”

Zhang Anshi said resentfully, “Fine, fine, everything is according to Master Yao.”

Yao Guangxiao said with great emotion at this time, “With a relic of that size, if you don’t become a Buddha, you will become a Buddha, I really don’t know what it is like to become a Buddha.”

Jin Zhong followed without a word.

Yao Guangxiao also remembered Jin Zhong at this time, and turned back to Jin Zhong with a smile, “Why didn’t Jin Gong say anything?”

Jin Zhong said, “The old man is out of step with you.”

Kim Chung is largely …… a man of integrity.

He and Yao Guangxiao are the same, are a kind of extremely contradictory people, this Jin Zhong year, is a fortune-telling origin, give people fortune-telling and measuring words to make a living, the generation of the three religions and nine streams.

It stands to reason that such a person must have indulged in hedonism after making his fortune.

But he does not, he is truly penniless, do not covet any goods, serious family, so much so that in history, his funeral, are the emperor himself decree to let the magistrate help to do, if not, may not even be decent funeral.

Not only that, but whenever there is any merit, he tends to push it to others and is unwilling to claim any credit himself, but if he encounters any injustice, he will definitely jump out and oppose it in front of the emperor.

This kind of opposition is not as simple as the standard invitation to straighten up and take a name in the scholarly world, because the object he defends is not the group of readers, but mostly the people of the three religions and nine streams.

Yao Guangxiao didn’t get angry because of Jin Zhong’s ‘nonsense’ at this moment, instead he said in a serious tone, “Duke Jin, ah, you have to be a little more liberal, think a little more openly, and let go of your obsessions, only then can you be complete. You just have too many things on your mind, which is why you are adding to your own troubles.”

Jin Zhong said, “The old man is still alive, if he is not troubled, when he enters the coffin in the future, there will be nothing to worry about, but it will be terrible.”

Yao Guangxiao said, “Marquis Annan, if he passes away in the future, you should also burn a relic for him, one that is pitch black.”

“You ……” Jin Zhong opened his mouth to curse.

Yao Guangxiao then muttered, “You see, he just can’t think straight, his obsession is too heavy, he has to count everything, it’s hard, it’s too hard. Marquis of Annan, poor monk appreciates you.”

“Ah ……” Zhang Anshi’s face was black, he didn’t want to get Yao Guangxiao’s admiration, after all, this kind of admiration, it always gave him a feeling as if he was with shitheads, stinking.

Yao Guangxiao, however, looked at him fixedly and said, “Did you listen to what Lord Jin said just now?”

“Listen.” Zhang Anshi said.

Yao Guangxiao: “His set of Emperor Theory, it took him most of his life to realize it, you are different, at a young age, you understand this, and you can still put it into practice, that’s why you always make merits.”

Zhang Anshi scratched his head and said, “Actually, I didn’t think about it that much ……”

Yao Guangxiao smiled, shook his head and said: ”Not thinking that much and still always doing the right thing, that’s even more marvelous. People, in order to accomplish something, you have to let the people around you benefit! Let’s just say your merchant bank, can let the people who follow you can earn silver, so you put a fart out, the people underneath are willing to do it even if they are desperate. The soldiers of the model battalion, following you, have food and drink, and have merit. They naturally dare to sacrifice their lives. And you deal with the rebellious party of that set, within the thousand households up and down, you are willing to give money, willing to give them to compete for credit, which one of them is not dedicated to it? Even for those Tartars, as long as you are willing to take money and give others real benefits, then everything can be done.”

“In fact, ah, being an emperor is so, doing things is also this reason. Look at Ji Gang, why is he always inferior to you? Is it because he’s not sophisticated enough, and he’s not as skillful as you? Little doll, Ji Gang such a person, if you talk about the heart, you are far from him! But this man is too selfish. He only cares about his own gains and losses. A person, only think of their own to get the most benefits, then only by force to pressure the people underneath him to obey, but this kind of oppression, of course, can make people do things, but to let them give up their lives, how is it possible?”

“Throughout the ages, those who are extremely intelligent, look at the statute that he has formulated, it can be said to be thorough to the extreme, and it looks perfect, but in the end …… what about it? Wang Mang New Deal, do you know? What’s wrong with that New Deal ……? But how about the result? This is because Wang Mang what all counted well, the only thing did not go to calculate is that those who serve him, from what to get. So …… the New Deal is not implemented, even if it is implemented, it is ultimately crooked, and in the end …… it is actually nothing more than self destruction, for posterity to laugh at.”

After listening carefully to Yao Guangxiao’s words, Zhang Anshi could not help but sincerely say, “I have been taught by the teachings of Lord Yao.”

Yao Guangxiao cheerfully said, “Very good, the children can teach, free time we move around more, well, the poor monk to go to the Honglu Temple Monk Records Division, this …… farewell.”

At this time, the three had already left the noon gate, and Zhang Anshi said goodbye to them and took the lead in riding away.

Jin Zhong looked at Zhang Anshi’s faraway back and couldn’t help but say curiously, “Monk, why are you talking so much with a junior today?”

“This is to teach him some of the reasoning to give grace widely well, save the poor monk after passing away, he engaged in what name.” Yao Guangxiao cheerfully said, “this kid is very enlightened, to praise him more, can’t use harsh method, otherwise he ghost very much, it may be in front of a set, behind a set.”

Jin Zhong shook his head and said, “Monks are the ones with obsessions, ah, for the sake of the relics, you really can say anything.”

Yao Guangxiao said, “Amitabha Buddha, words can’t be said like this, this big and round relic, or seven colors, who wouldn’t be moved?”

Jin Zhong continued to shake his head.

Yao Guangxiao said, “Poor monk in this life, and no other ideas, but I hope …… to get a good end, just to repair a lifetime of Buddha, always have to give themselves an account, you see …… my that master Hui Zhen Zen master, he did in his life So much heartbreak, but also can burn out such a relic, poor monks can also.”

At this moment, Yao Guangxiao had light in his eyes.

…………

Follow the currents.

A wrecked ship, walking …… alone in the ocean.

There was no semblance of romance amidst the blue sea and sky, much less anyone to appreciate such a magnificent spectacle.

All there is is a fishy salty sea breeze, and an endless horizon, and a longing for land.

One of the several ships that had originally set out together, one of them ran aground and sank one night, and before the others could be rescued, the ship capsized in an instant, and not one of the men …… on board survived.

The other two, having encountered small groups of pirates, caught fire while fighting them.

Plus hunger, disease ……

At …… this time, there are only seventy or so people left in this ship, everyone s face is yellow and thin, and their eyes are glowing green.

More terrible still is the mental torture.

So much so that Teng Jian had to order that all sailors must sleep with their hands and feet tied to a bystander before they could sleep.

I am afraid that in the dead of the night, someone will be really unable to think straight, or will develop hallucinations and jump into the sea.

This has happened three times, and almost every one of them, on the verge of collapse.

Even Ken Deng was torn between life and death time and time again.

He first regretted that he had not followed his godfather Zheng He on his return voyage.

And what followed was indignation and resentment, as he cursed everyone and seemed to hold a grudge against the entire world, mixed with resentment.

He hung on to Zhang Anshi from time to time.

No matter what, he was the one who took care of Zhang Anshi in the first place.

When the crown prince raised Zhang Anshi, the …… person responsible for serving and caring for him was more than him.

But Zhang Anshi is not a human being, he is gracious and he ……

After scolding, it is endless thoughts, how is His Highness the Crown Prince, and does the Empress still remember us …… and …… Zhang Anshi …… whether he regrets it or not, and whether he regrets sending us out of the sea.

Countless thoughts, a flurry of them, accompanied by a heart like a knife.

In his life, he had no more relatives, not even children or grandchildren, to leave behind, and now he felt as if he had been forgotten by the world.

Forgotten until he starts to go numb ……

This kind of numbness, as if the heart has died, so that even the beautiful dream is not there, before all kinds of delusion, do not dare to touch the slightest, for fear of pulling back to reality, experience greater disappointment.

The other sailors, by and large, were the same.

The number of sick and wounded people began to increase, the medicine was still available, but the doctor had already died of illness, so everyone had to be saved by feeling.

Sometimes that dying person is nothing less than a relief; at least when they die, there is no resignation on their face.

Ken Deng couldn’t remember how long it had been since he had bathed, and his body was a fetid odor of sea air.

He couldn’t remember, either, the last time he’d had fresh food, or even if everything seemed forgotten.

Today, early morning at dawn.

The sea-boat split the waves as usual.

The ship had been wrecked in a few places, but fortunately there was no major damage.

But just at this moment …… suddenly someone bawled.

Something else is going on.

Ken Deng rushed out of the cabin at once.

Immediately afterward, someone was seen beating their chest and falling down, howling with their heart and lungs torn out.

More and more sailors gathered, and more and more people began to beat their chests.

And Deng Jian this moment …… the corner of his eyes has also been wet.

Land …… is land ……

He went back to his cabin like a madman.

And then …… he took out the compass, followed …… by a fan tool.

This fan shaped tool …… is a gift from Zhang Anshi when he went out to sea, and it is made of bronze, which can avoid the corrosion and rust of seawater.

At that time, Zhang Anshi told him that it was a sextant, which could roughly record the position in the ocean.

This thing it measures the angle of the sun or other celestial body from the sea level or horizon at a given moment and is used to determine one’s position.

Of course …… technology is limited, Zhang Anshi can only do the general location, the specific latitude and longitude, in this era, is almost impossible.

Deng Jian began to measure constantly, and then …… checked against the compass.

In fact, he didn’t pay much attention to it until when he realized the benefits of it, he realized the wonderful use of it.

When he was poor and bored, he was always checking his position against charts, sextants, and a compass to kill his boredom.

Now …… comes in real handy.

And then he pointed his finger at a huge land location and took a deep breath ………

“In …… in this position …… in this position, this big island has arrived …… we have arrived… …There really is such a big island in the world, Zhang Anshi didn’t deceive us, haha …… no ……”

He was mad, and immediately exclaimed, “Withdraw the sails, and all …… prepare to disembark, and teach all to know that when they land they take their arms with them, and not to go deeper into the coast, but to be on their guard against any accident.”

And then, carefully, he took out of his own bosom a piece of torn silk cloth, long since tattered, which was embroidered with a dense handwriting.

Inside …… are the things that Zhang Anshi has come down with a thousand instructions for him to collect in this big island ……

Deng Jian took a deep breath, and at this time …… the sunlight sprinkled on his face, and he finally recovered his earthly breath.

He still still shouted hysterically, “Liu Liu a team of people, guard the boat tonight, the rest of the people …… set off with us ……”

“Hooray!”

With howls of joy.

The dead and crumbling seagoing ships now seem to be on a different earth.

………………

A roster that was delivered to Zhang Anshi.

One thousand seven hundred and thirty-six.

Zhang Anshi looked at the amount and was somewhat appalled.

This is the directory provided by that Zhang Xingyuan, involving ninety-seven households, plus three generations of their blood relatives.

Of course, women and children are not included here.

Because in accordance with the law of Daming, the woman sent to the Department of Education, while the child …… at least in the early Ming Dynasty is the provision …… for castration, and then fill the harem.

At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, the tributes from the various vassal states, as well as young prisoners of war, were almost always the main source of eunuchs, as was the case with Yiluoha and Zheng He, for example.

It was not until the middle to late period, when there was no more war in the world, that this source of eunuchs began to be drawn from among the people.

One thousand seven hundred and thirty-six men, that’s a lot of men.

Of course, Zhang Anshi did not have too much sympathy, and he could not sympathize with them, most of these people were the descendants of the original Shihou, who had made great contributions to the rule of the world after the Female Genghis Khan and the Mongols entered the customs.

Zhang Anshi fully imagined that if they had their way, he was afraid that when these people followed their masters and raised the butcher’s knife, they would never be merciful to him, Zhang Anshi.

One must always pay for what one has done, for what one has done.

Zhang Anshi soon presented the directory to the palace.

On that day, Zhu directly hooked the decision.

Of course, there are some people but Zhu Di stayed, such as Zhang Xingyuan and other first evil, these people in the eyes of Zhu Di, the crime is so great that it is already ten evils, waiting for them, is not as simple as a quick death.

Zhu is a man who is as bold with his friends as he is ruthless with his enemies.

And so the executions became sixteen hundred and thirty-nine.

As for what kind of deaths the others would have, Zhang Anshi didn’t care, nor did he care.

He began to assign tasks and, as usual, had the Inner Chitose begin posting literature.

In addition to this, the imperial edicts were largely transcribed in the diaries, stating the evils of these men, and a date was chosen for their execution at the Noon Gate.

As for inviting people to visit, Zhang Anshi didn’t do it.

Because there is no need, he is trusting the military and civilian people of the capital, and when the time comes, you will only be able to drive people away if you want to.

All up and down the Inner Chitose, they have long been busy, they want to check the identity of the human prisoners for the last time, to make sure that nothing is wrong.

On the following day, every person was tied up, and then in the back of the head, inserted a long-prepared sign, the sign written on the word traitors, and then began to escort the people, set off in great numbers.

On the side of the Brocade Guards, they also sent manpower to set up in the periphery, and the routes they took were also arranged in advance, so everything was in order.

At the same time …… Zhang Anshi personally went to mention Zhang Xingyuan and others.

These are the kind of felons who have been tortured in the Imperial Prison, and the good times are still ahead.

Of course, when executing their families, by Zhu Di’s decree, they were to be taken to the ceremony.

Zhang Xingyuan’s face was ashen, he coughed terribly, and miraculously, there were actually no injuries on his body.

Zhang Anshi asked the lieutenant of the imperial prison, this lieutenant carefully replied, “Let them eat a water torture first, die slower, that s why there are no wounds, the marquis …… is not that the little ones do not work hard.”

Zhang Anshi said, “It’s still your specialty.”

Immediately, he lifted Zhang Xingyuan and the others and left, Zhang Xingyuan did not know where he was going.

Just smiled bitterly and said, “The Marquis of Annan …… coughing …… this time your credit is not small, right?”

“The credit is secondary, the main thing is to see you guys not having a good time, I’m so happy in my heart.” Zhang Anshi was like a neighborhood boy, grinning, revealing a naive smile.

“The Central Plains can’t be defended.” Zhang Xingyuan said, “Sooner or later, one day, there will still be someone to enter the customs, you …… are just sending your own head, temporarily.”

Zhang Xingyuan unwillingly rambled: “Tartar Department, or the Warat Department, sooner or later they will restore their own strength, and when they unify the desert, at that time …… cough …… is the time of your death without a burial place, you Today’s victory, but is just a moment ……”

Zhang Anshi ignored him, what is there to argue with a living dead man?

Perhaps, at this moment, Zhang Xingyuan could only rely on this so-called ‘belief’ to support himself.

“Also, the Taifu who colluded with you, the Great Khan and the Imperial Master will surely notice what he has done, and he will surely not come to a good end.”

Hearing this, Zhang Anshi couldn’t help but say, “Huh?”

Zhang Xingyuan: “……”

“I thought you were a smart man, but I didn’t expect you to be this confused now, I just got the news that instead of being executed, he was promoted.”

Zhang Xingyuan: “……”

He shook his head desperately with a look of disbelief, no way, never!

Zhang Anshi revealed a smile and said: “To say it, you don’t believe it, he took out a few tens of thousands of taels of silver, bribed the people around that Khan, and directly looked for a scapegoat, saying that it was that scapegoat that leaked, and then sent a few thousand cows and sheep to the Khan, as well as a few beauties, and the Khan was so happy that he complimented him for his loyalty and ability to be a loyal official of the Great Yuan. Now, he has also become a Tai Shi, and even got a new piece of pasture. ”

After a pause, Zhang Anshi added: “Aiyaa …… he this out …… or not enough atmosphere ah, if it is me, directly smashed two hundred thousand taels of silver down, into his mother, that shit Khan also have to kneel. ”

Zhang Xingyuan still kept shaking his head, “No, I don’t believe it, I don’t believe it ……”

He mumbled and read, only feeling that this was Zhang Anshi’s ploy.

But deep inside …… he seemed to be cut by something, like a knife.

Zhang Anshi didn’t care about him anymore, and carrying the man, he went straight into the palace.

In fact, it is not considered to enter the palace, because Zhu Di has long been waiting at the gate of the city of noon, watching is human nature, Zhu Di can not be exempted, he was elated, leading the crown prince and the king of Zhao, as well as the Duke of Wei, Ki Duke of Qi, Duke of Cheng, etc., have stood on the city floor.

Even King Zhu Quan of Ning, who was staying in Honglu Temple, came joyfully.

Look at the fun, when these traitors, almost did not kill him, now it is just right, to see how these people die!

“More than a thousand people ah, your majesty …… this is only very delayed, there is not a day can not be killed.”

“Yes, yes, this kills a thousand pigs …… afraid not so fast.”

There was a lot of talk.

Zhu said, “Enter your mothers, don’t nag, that Zhang Anshi is here.”

Zhu Di did not have Zhang Anshi in his eyes at this time, but Zhang Xingyuan, who was escorted by Zhang Anshi.

When the men got up to the citadel, they were lined up and tied behind the women’s wall, directly in front of the expanse of land below the citadel.

Only then did Zhu Di say to Zhang Anshi, “Hurry up, it’s three rods past sunrise, I’m still waiting for my meal.”

Zhang Anshi said, “Don’t worry, your majesty ……鑷ｅ姙浜嬶紝杩樻湁浠€涔堜笉鏀惧績鐨勩€�”

At this time, many people have long been flocked up, and by the brocade guards to stop far away, but a lot of people still refuse to disperse, and even some people hanging in the trees, there are many people in the distant neighborhood of the ridge of the house far away from the view.

It didn’t take long for the Model Battalion to escort the prisoners.

And then …… one by one, this human offender will make a final check.

The first column of fifty prisoners stood in a direct line of five.

Zhu Di and other people look strange, just at this time …… a team of model battalion people, enough 100 people, also set up a word long snake formation.

At this time, they were not wearing heavy armor, and each of them was as light as a swallow.

With a signal, they were seen taking out a cannon in unison.

“A cannon?” Zhu frowned.

Zhang Anshi then said, “Your Majesty …… is there anything you are not satisfied with?”

In the early Ming Dynasty there was the Shenji Battalion, which was specialized in the use of cannons.

The role of the cannon, however, was not really to kill the enemy, but to break up the opponent’s attack formation.

After all, the cannons of this era, were bulky and heavy, and their killing power was also small, and there was almost no accuracy to speak of, therefore, a three-strike formation could be used, and when the opponent attacked, a flush shot was fired, so that when the enemy’s formation was in disarray, the cavalrymen who were ambushed on the left and right flanks, would then launch an attack on the enemy.

But take this to kill people …… How many cannons does this have to hit?

I don’t want to eat?

Zhang Anshi saw Zhu Di’s meaning and grinned, “Your Majesty, look, this is something new.”

The man who was tied up in five different ways screamed out his grievances or howled.

When Zhang Xingyuan and the others on the city gate saw this, their faces had also become miserable.

Zhang Xingyuan scolded angrily, “This revenge …… future Khan will be available for me and others ……”

He said here …… but his voice came to an abrupt end.

But I saw a single cannon, after loading the latest gunpowder, added the projectile from the cannon mouth, and then …… ignited the fuse.

Bang Bang Bang ……

The deafening sound shook the inside and outside of the Noon Gate.

Zhu Di was also startled, he had seen many times, Shen Ji Battalion drill, Shen Ji Battalion’s cannons caused a loud noise, completely different from this model battalion.

But he saw that not far away, more than fifty people, like cutting wheat, fell down, some people did not die, but also fell in a pool of blood, wailing in their mouths.

The lethality brought by this new cannon was extremely impressive, at least for this era.

Not only that …… they did not shoot close, it can be seen that its range is also far better than other cannons.

Of course …… Zhu is a connoisseur, and he quickly realized that the new cannon is much more than that, because the whole process, almost all of the Model Battalion s soldiers independently completed the gunpowder loading.

It is different with the SGC, which normally requires a specialized powder loader, working in concert with the shooter, to accomplish.

The speed of loading was, surprisingly, also extremely fast.

Because soon ……

Bang Bang Bang ……

At the man who fell in a pool of blood, the Model Battalion’s cannon team began to launch a second round of flurry fire.

Nitrous smoke, that the ground writhing and struggling people …… shot, body twitching …… and then, the wound appeared in a huge trauma, blood sprayed out, these fifty death row prisoners over the sky, filled with a blood fog.

Zhu Di’s face had changed greatly by this time.

He turned back to look at the Duke of Wei and the others, “Ministers ……”

“Your Majesty, this cannon has a lot of power.” Zhu Neng was about to jump up, “What is this thing?”

Just as the monarchs and ministers were shocked.

That Zhang Xingyuan’s pupils were contracting, and he had even forgotten to breathe as he looked at the scene that was happening underneath the city tower, like an awn on his back.

It’s over …… It’s over ……

What a despair it is.

One can imagine what it would be like when such a cannon appeared in the desert.

At this time …… he saw the people who had fallen to the ground …… heart suddenly gave birth to an indescribable grief, as if everything he did was like a clown.

What a great job …… is nothing but a joke.

The second column of prisoners is escorted.

Extremely efficient.

Bang Bang Bang ……

Those who were shot cried and wailed and struggled.

As for the cannons, after firing, they still quickly reloaded the cannons quickly.

After only a few moments, there was a new round of shooting.

Zhu Di has long been dumbfounded, ears, he heard a voice: “Imperial brother …… Imperial brother …… What is this?”

Zhu Di turned around and saw a shocked Zhu Quan: “I know a bird.”

Zhu Quan: “……”

Not only is Zhu Quan wordless, even if the people who surrounded and watched from afar, originally it was still noisy, but in an instant, all of them were silenced, so that in addition to the sound of the cannon, which sounded over and over again, almost everyone …… looked at what was happening in front of their eyes with fear.
