The Age of Discovery is coming, but everything has to be done quietly.
Xu Huizu has selected low-quality firearms from the warehouse and transported them to Shandong via waterway. Sheng Yong, a general in charge, led a large army of hundreds of tigers to escort them, first to Shandong and then to the Japanese country. There were also selected people for the Japanese who were traveling with him.
Firearms instructors, officials and craftsmen who prospected for silver mines, etc.
The Imperial Guards who stayed in Japan reported that the Yamano family had secretly contacted those daimyo who were dissatisfied with the Ashikaga Shogunate and secretly planned to seize the throne.
These methods are leftover from the Chinese Empire, and now they are just being performed again in Japan.
In order to prevent the capital from setting off again to Luzon, the old killers were gearing up and making use of all available connections. They organized troops and searched for warships. Since there were no warships for them in the capital, Zhu Yunxi quietly left through the back door.
.Ordered the Guangdong Navy to sell the twelve eliminated warships to them for a price of 300,000 silver dollars.
Of course, all these things can be done in a day or two. Although Li Jinglong returned to Beijing, he still had the Ming Dynasty's navy official ship, carrying logistical equipment and the emperor's imperial edict, etc., landing in Luzon again. In addition to these, there was a third
A generation of Ming immigrants.

"Long live my Lord, please slow down!"
Outside Yingtian City, in the front yard of the Penal Department Prison, Li Jinglong bowed to greet Zhu Yunxi who came in casual clothes.
The prison must be set up outside the city, because most of the prisoners in the prison of the Ministry of Punishment are the most vicious criminals. The prison is surrounded by high walls and has a military camp next to it. On the one hand, it is convenient for management, and on the other hand, since ancient times, armies have been sent out to fight.
There is a tradition of selecting death row prisoners.
You are going to die anyway, go out and hang out with the military master, and if you survive, you may be able to get promoted and make a fortune. If you die, you will have lived many more days, and it will be worth it.
There is a small garden in the front yard of the prison of the Ministry of Punishments, where prison officials rest and drink tea on weekdays.
Zhu Yunxi crossed the threshold and said with a smile, "I am not a seven-year-old, how can I fall while walking?" After saying that, he sat down on the stone bench in the garden.
But as soon as I sat down, I was suddenly startled.
"Ah!" The prisoner's hysterical cry of pain came from the execution room not far away.
Then there was the sound of a whip being slapped on human flesh, and the jailer yelling, "Are you going to tell me?"
"ah!"
Zhu Yunxi listened to the screams and looked towards the execution room.
Following Li Jinglong, the head of the Criminal Department, an official named Zhang Yanqing, quickly said, "Your Majesty, over there is the strongman from Green Forest who was just captured yesterday!" After saying that, he paused and said, "He led his men to rob the postal warehouse of Yangzhouyi.
"
In modern times, this crime would be equivalent to the serious crime of robbing a bank!
A crime worthy of being shot.
"Are you going to tell me?" the jailer over there was still shouting, whipping him.
"Does this mean that his accomplices haven't been caught yet?" Zhu Yunxi asked.
Zhang Yanqing bowed his head and said, "These people robbed one hundred and seventeen yuan in cash, then broke it up and fled towards Xuzhou, Huai'an. He, the bandit leader, was caught at a widow's house, and the rest of the accomplices are still at large!"
Zhu Yunxi thought about it and looked at Li Jinglong, "You called me here, do you want me to pardon these prisoners who have committed heinous crimes?"
"Long live the Lord's knowledge, I can't hide this little thought from you!" Li Jinglong said with a smile.
There is a difference between a death row prisoner and a death row prisoner who has committed a heinous crime. If someone kills by mistake, kills because of a grudge, or even kills intentionally to vent his anger, he is a death row prisoner. Such a person can be pardoned. However, such a person who robs officials and is like a Liangshan bandit must understand the canon.
Punishment serves as a warning to others.
It's the same in any era, everything is slow, but if you dare to go against the government, you must die!
"I'm going to fuck your grandma!" Suddenly, the prisoner cursed loudly from the execution room.
Immediately after, I listened to Zrazla's voice, and then a slight meaty aroma wafted out.
"We've seen tough guys, don't talk about you, the Jade Emperor is here, he will say whatever I tell him to say?" The jailer over there continued to curse, "Brothers, be punished!"
At this time, Li Jinglong quietly approached Zhu Yunxi and said, "Your Majesty, I saw the files of the Ministry of Punishment. There are 172 extremely vicious people imprisoned here, all waiting to be interrogated and executed by Empress Qiu! What these people have committed, I and the Ministry of Punishment will
If we can't clear it, I have to speak with your golden mouth, Long Live the Lord!"
After saying that, he paused and said, "I have no choice but to ask you to come here. You don't know that yesterday I went to tell Xia Shu, the Minister of Punishment, that I wanted to get some death row prisoners, and I almost got scolded to death by the old man!"
"Haha, it would be weird if I didn't scold you!" Zhu Yunxi said with a smile.
Nowadays, the officials don't know about going to sea, so they have to choose these outlaws to immigrate quietly.
Then Zhu Yunxi said again, "What are the crimes of the people you chose?"
Li Jinglong quickly took out a list from his sleeve. It seemed that he had really carefully considered the selection of these first batch of immigrants.
"This man is Wu Liang!" Li Jinglong said, "People from Xiangxi, who are not tall and thin, are actually ruthless. This man pretends to be a farmer during the day, and at night he brings relatives and friends to rob the road, killing passing merchants.
No one left alive.”
"In two years, I killed forty-two merchants and other people. After killing them, I just threw them into the deep mountains and forests without anyone noticing!"
Xiangxi!
The people in that place were indeed a bit wild. Not to mention this era, they were famous even later. He knew some people from that place in later generations, and they seemed to be unkind, but when it came to committing evil acts, they were more courageous than anyone else.
"Since he was unaware of it, how did he catch it?" Zhu Yunxi asked.
"Murder and robbery are only one of this man's livelihoods. If he kills too much, there will naturally be fewer merchants. So he took his nephew and a few others to rob the tomb!" Li Jinglong whispered, "He stole a large tomb of the Spring and Autumn Period and took the things away.
Go to an antique shop to sell it. The owner of the antique shop wanted to take advantage of others, but he led his men to kill the whole family!"
"Hiss!" Zhu Yunxi took a deep breath, "This man is really cruel and ruthless!" He said, "Forget it, he has a lot of lives on his hands!"
"Yes, I heard that when the officers and soldiers arrested him, seven of them were broken! This man is good at using hammers, and he always smashed one of the Tianling Caps directly with his hammer!" Li Jinglong said again.
Zhu Yunxi thought for a while, "This man has so many lives on his hands. If he doesn't kill him, the people will not be angry. Besides, if we put him in Luzon, there will be nothing he can do if he drills Lao Lin on him!" He said, after a pause, "He wants to clarify the canon."
Punishment! But his accomplices, the relatives and friends you mentioned, can move to Luzon and serve in the army!"
"Long live the Holy Ming!" Li Jinglong pointed to another person's name and said, "This person's name is Li Shao'an, from Mizhi, Shaanxi." He said with a smile, "This man killed his wife and the adulterer in anger because his wife stole someone...
....The whole family!”
"Speak clearly!" Zhu Yunxi rolled his eyes at him, "You mean, he killed his wife, his adulterer, and both families!"
"A hammer saves one's life! When the officials arrested him, he was sitting on his father-in-law's head and drinking! The officials were too frightened to come forward. It was he who told you to come and arrest me. I won't resist!"
Li Jinglong laughed and said, "Later on the interrogation, we learned that this man was the son-in-law who stepped in on the door. He was looked down upon by his wife's family. The father-in-law thought he was a long-term laborer and wanted him to die. Moreover, her wife's family members all knew that her daughter-in-law had stolen someone, so they
Keep it secret from him and let him be the living king!"
"But this man only killed adults, not any children!"
"This man can do it!" Zhu Yunxi said with a smile, "Go and talk to the Ministry of Punishment later, just say I..." After saying that, Zhu Yunxi understood something and said with a smile, "You have tricked me here.
Presumably there is no need to go through the Ministry of Justice for this kind of thing! Zhang Yanqing!"
"I'm here!"
"The person I promise, you can directly ask Cao Guogong to take him away!"
"According to the order!"
