Chapter 908 Annan's affairs are over
On February 25, Yun Yu finished the work of Zhu Xiancai's Najib and others, and asked Luo Yi to exchange her wedding letters, and then set off to return to the capital in the afternoon of the same day. At this time, there were only thirteen days before the examination, and it would take more than twenty days to return to the capital by boat. He didn't set off again until the exam was completed and the test papers were reviewed. He might not be able to arrive in the capital in the afternoon. He had to hurry up.
Before leaving, Yun Yu ordered Li Jian: "Let 8 get on the boat and send him to the capital. I have decided to let him commit suicide, but I must not let him be buried in Annan or cremated. Therefore, I will take him to the capital and then give him death and bury him outside the city."
"Everyone of the Hu clan, except for the concubines who have never given birth, will be shipped to the capital. I will not kill them all, but I cannot let them stay in Annan."
He also ordered Hu Yan: "Your decree is to deceive the emperor and the emperor, and plan to usurp the rebellion of the court, and should have killed nine clans, but I have given mercy outside the law and pardoned the crimes of all the Hu clan except for 8, Hu Hancang and his son, and moved to the capital of Daming as a farmer; if you are willing to serve the Ming Dynasty, you can also be designated as a military household."
"All people from the Hu clan are the same as those of the Ming people. They can take the Ming Dynasty's scientific examination and can be recommended as students in the Imperial College and martial arts lecture hall. I will never discriminate."
He also went to Zhang Wen's mansion to visit Zhang Wen for the last time, and instructed: "Mr. Zhang should be well recuperated here, and there is a praise for everything. Li Jian and others do not need to worry about it. When I return to the capital, I will also reward the merits and rewards of the teacher."
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty has already rewarded me for my merits, so there is no need to give me any more rewards; and this warrior has not made much contribution, so Your Majesty should not give me again and again. As for the matters in the army, if you have the King of Kings, I can indeed save you some lightness." Zhang Wen said.
"Is it impossible for ordinary generals to lead the 500,000 army to move safely? This move is a great achievement, and there is no need to shirk it." Yun Xu said again.
Just as Zhang Wen was about to say something, he suddenly started coughing. The military doctor who had been standing beside him rushed up. Yun Xu stood up and said, "Take care, Mr. Zhang, I will take my leave now."
After all this was arranged, Shen Shichu Yunyu boarded the ship at 9, Zhu Shi and others and left Annan. Along with him were the first group of more than 50,000 garrisons who retreated from Annan. Under the escort of the navy, hundreds of fleets that were enough to cover the sky and the sun set sail from the port and sailed eastward.
Looking at the fleet that was leaving, 9 breathed a sigh of relief and was about to speak when he suddenly heard Zhu Shi say, "Zanyi, since Your Majesty has left, I will return to my own vassal state. Although Zhuo Jing and He Fu are in charge of the vassal, there is no need to worry about anything, it is not good that I, the lord of the vassal state, have never been there." Most vassal kings took a boat to return north together, but Zhu Shi's fief is in the northwest of Annan, so they bid farewell to Yun Yu with 9.
"If the eighteenth uncle wants to go back, his nephew won't try to keep him anymore." 9 said.
"Then I've been packing up and going back in the past few days." Zhu Wei said with excitement on his face. He has been away from his fiefdom for more than half a year and has long wanted to go back.
But then his face showed an unhappy look: "My first general who knows firearms was actually poached by the official. It's true, alas."
"Uncle Eighteenth, look at the military preparations of Siam and other countries, where can we use firearms? Besides, we will have to meet Timur in the past two years. It is also a good thing for the general who is proficient in firearms to be brought to the court by his uncle." 9 advised.
"I can only think so." Zhu Xu said.
The two of them said a few more words and took the other people who saw him back to the city.
9 When he returned to his palace, he took out a box from a secret lattice under the arhat bed in the study, opened it and took out one of the yellow silks, opened it and looked at it, put it back in the box and hid it in the secret lattice, murmured to himself: "This thing should not be used, but let's keep it for the time being, and destroy it before I die."
...
...
After the fleet set off from Nanding Port, it arrived at the Pearl River Estuary at noon on the second day of March and was anchored in the Lianggang on Hong Kong Island.
The Navy Thousand House Station stationed on Hong Kong Island immediately provided the fleet with two thousand chickens, five hundred pigs and a large amount of vegetables for the army to eat. Guangdong Dusi already knew when the Emperor's fleet would pass through the Pearl River Estuary. Yun Yu wrote to him again and would not go to Guangzhou City again, so he urgently bought these chickens near Guangzhou and sent them to Hong Kong Island.
The Huo Tou Army killed more than 400 pigs and stewed braised pork. For a moment, the fragrance drifted everywhere, causing the soldiers to rush their index fingers, and they wanted to immediately take the rice bowl to serve the meat.
Yun Xu stood on the deck, looking at the soldiers waiting in line to serve meat, while listening to Guangdong Censor Li Decheng said: "Your Majesty, more than 20 gentry families in Guangzhou have been dealt with, and more than a dozen of them will be exiled to Annan."
"The number of Hakka households in various places has also been measured. After the local gentry is involved in this case, they can be moved."
"There is a gentry Bai family in Guangzhou City, and several branches actually requested to go to Annan. Yang Ren was extremely surprised and found out that it was done by his head Bai Wenyu. Yang Ren had already allowed them to move to Annan."
"This person is still cognizable." Yun Xu sneered.
"Your Majesty, there is another thing. Your Majesty ordered me to interrogate Han Yike, who was a traitor for Annan. When interrogating, he found out that he was demoted to Hainan by His Majesty in Hongwu for the 31st year of Hongwu, so he held a grudge and defected to Annan." Li Decheng said again.
"He was demoted to Hainan back then? No wonder. But even so, he should not be careless. He should be sent down and bound the capital for ten evil crimes and punished by Lingchi." Yun said.
After talking about these two things, Li Decheng had no report and bowed down. Then Bao'an Municipal Bureau of Shipping and Recruitment Zhang Yanfang came up to report: "Report to Your Majesty, the tariffs of Bao'an Municipal Bureau of Shipping last year were more than 3 million yuan, an increase of 20% from the previous year."
"Okay. Zhang Aiqing is indeed an official who is in charge of the Maritime Warehouse Department. In recent years, both in Shangshanghai and Bao'an have done a very good job." Yun Ying praised.
"Your Majesty has praised you. This is because your Majesty's proper government orders are not merit. I dare not take credit for you." Zhang Yanfang said.
"No need to say that." Yun Xi said: "Political orders are government orders, and my dear credit is not small. There is no need to refuse." Yun Xi said.
Zhang Yanfang did not say anything about this, but said: "Your Majesty, the people in the Maritime Bureau were slightly unstable in the next two months because of the Samarkand spy case, so the tax revenue in the past two months dropped slightly."
"This is also helpless. If the tax revenue is reduced next year, I will definitely not blame you." Yun Xu said.
"Thank you for your compassion," Zhang Yanfang said immediately.
Yun Yu smiled, and suddenly thought of something, and asked: "I remember that there was another foreign merchant from the Ming Dynasty with Su Dongli, a spy from Samarkand. After verification, this person was not a spy and had nothing to do with the case, so he was released later. Can he still do business in the Maritime Bureau?"
"Your Majesty, this person was released and sold the store. He has left the Bao'an Municipal Vessels." Zhang Yanfang said.
"What a pity." Yun Xi muttered. Although the Ming Dynasty is not short of money, no one would think that money is too much. It would be great if he could settle down in the Ming Dynasty with money. It would be a pity that it would not work.
After talking about this, it was already dark. Yun Xu said a few more words to Zhang Yanfang and asked him to step down.
Yun Xi turned back to the cabin. He walked to the cabin where he lived with his two concubines and happened to see Xue Xiran and Li Jiqian coming out of different cabins one after another. When he saw Yun Xi, he hurriedly saluted and said, "My minister Xue Xiran (Li Jiqian) has seen Your Majesty."
Yun Xi waved his hand and let them flatten, and said with a smile: "Come to see your sister?"
"Yes, Your Majesty." The two of them agreed in unison, then subconsciously looked at each other, and then quickly lowered their heads.
Yun Yu looked at the situation very cola. His two concubines, both of them were in the navy as general, happened to visit his sister at the same time, and they felt embarrassed to think about it. He smiled and asked them to retreat. They walked by Yun Yu as if they were amnesty, and walked in different directions at the fork in the road, one left and one right.
After Yun Xun smiled, he thought about it and went to Li Sha'er's cabin to talk to her for a while, and came to Xiyi's cabin.
Xiyi was in a daze at this time. When she saw Yun Xu walking in, she stood up and saluted, "Husband."
"Sit down, sit down, there are no outsiders now, why should you be so polite?" Yun Yu walked over and pressed her shoulder to let her sit down, and told the servants to withdraw and sit next to her.
"Have you seen Weiran? What did you say?" Yun Huang asked casually.
"It's just a matter of family matters, and this time he was fighting at sea. I told my brother about his experiences in Annan, Guangdong and Guangxi, which made his brother envious. He said that it was better to choose Lu Shi at the beginning, and there were more scenery you could see during the war." Xiyi smiled.
"And it's...," she suddenly stopped talking halfway through the last sentence.
"What else?" Yun Xi asked, turning his head to look at Xiang Xiyi. When she saw her blushing, she immediately thought of it and said with a smile: "It's probably because Yi Ran suspected that you were out of favor? Otherwise, why haven't you been pregnant with your husband for more than half a year?"
"Husband, you are bad!" Xiyi, who was told, blushed and beat Yun's shoulders.
Yun Xi held her in her arms and smiled and said, "But it's no wonder you. The husband and you both got witchcraft before, but it was untied later. You were weak and you were going to be raising them for another two months. We didn't have that much time together."
"But now my husband and you are both big, and I try to get you pregnant before returning to the capital."
Yun-yu smiled and picked up Xiyi and walked towards the bed. Xiyi blushed and struggled a few times, saying, "I haven't had enough food yet."
"I will eat you first, and we'll go to have a meal." Yun Yu teased her and put her on the bed. After a while, the sound of the bed shaking came from the cabin, and the little palace maid guarding outside turned red.
The next morning, Yun Yu woke up before dawn. Feeling the warm touch coming from beside him, he turned his head and kissed Xiyi on the face, gently pushed her away and stood up, letting the little palace maid come in to serve him dressed and walk out of the cabin.
It was already dawn when he arrived on the deck. He turned his head north and saw dozens of ships driving out of the dock.
Yun Yu was about to ask when he heard a voice coming from beside him: "Official family." He turned his head and saw Zhu Yue, Zhu Di, Zhu Mo and the others standing aside.
"The three uncles are leaving so early?" Yun Huang asked.
"Official family, we have been away from the fiefdom for more than half a year. Maybe we have accumulated a lot of things in the fiefdom, so we have to go back quickly." Zhu Shi smiled and said, "If we hadn't been waiting to come to Guangzhou to take away the food and wages given to us by the court this year, we would have gone back like Xianshou."
"Forget it, my nephew is anxious to return to the capital, so it's normal for you to return to the fiefdom in a hurry." Yun Xu said, "Then my nephew will treat it as a banquet for you today."
"Where is the banquet so shabby?" Zhu Mo said with a smile.
"The banquet at my nephew is so shabby."
They made a few jokes and had breakfast together, and the three of them wanted to bid farewell to him.
Yun Xu was about to nod, but suddenly thought of something and said, "Stay for the fourth uncle, and the nineteenth uncle and the twenty-first uncle will leave first. My nephew has a few words to say to the fourth uncle."
The two of them looked at each other with complex eyes and bowed and retreated.
Yun Xi immediately asked, "Uncle Fourth, this time I came to the Ming Dynasty. My nephew hasn't asked Su Fan what is happening now? Uncle Fourth tells me."
"In the second year of Jianye, Gao Xu and I went to Sufan one after another to calm prices, deal with local tyrants, rectify our arms..."
"At that time, Chen Zuyi was on the edge of Su Fan and was unruly. Gao Xu originally wanted to send troops to destroy him, but because he had many ships in his hand and was not sure of victory, I persuaded Gao Xu to stop and personally persuaded him to surrender."
"Then Gao Xu sent troops to attack the Yalu Kingdom in the west, and had seized 60% of the Yalu Kingdom and captured tens of thousands of soldiers and people. This year, it should be possible to capture this capital and destroy it."
"It was just that after the Yalu Kingdom was destroyed, it bordered the two countries Suwendana and Sumatra. These two countries are not weak in strength, so you have to think about how to deal with the destruction." Zhu Di briefly introduced the situation of the Su Fan.
"The fourth uncle is indeed very capable when he can persuade Chen Zuyi to surrender." Yun Sheng praised.
"It's just a lucky chance." Zhu Di said modestly.
The two of them chatted for a few more times, and Yun Xu said, "Uncle Fourth, after you go back, you tell Gao Xu that you don't have to be afraid of the two foreign countries in the west, you must destroy them as soon as possible."
"But..." Before Zhu Di finished speaking, Yun Xu snatched him: "Listen to me, that's right."
