When the Ming Dynasty's army "assisted the Japanese to fight against the enemy" sailed out of Shanghai, a fleet sailed to "Zhenrong", hence the name "Suppressing Rongdi". This city means "suppressing Rongdi".

Look, the Ming Dynasty was so "righteous". No matter what discrimination or gentleness were, it was nothing. In a word, some people were suppressed. What did the Ming Dynasty suppress the chieftains for three hundred years in the southwest?

The southwest, which was wandering in the Central Plains, has completely become "since ancient times". All the local people have become sinicized, and even the language has become southwestern Mandarin. Even the popular dialects such as Guangdong, Guangxi and Fujian cannot be compared with it.

"Zhenrong City" is located in the Dagushu Xuanwei Office in the south of Chenghua Province. Its geographical location is almost the same as the other world. Five years ago, the emperor Feng Defan Ninghai King Zhu Youshao opened a port here. Although it was only five years after the port was opened, there were many shops inside and outside the city. Like the city-states in Chenghua, most of the people living in the city were immigrants from the Ming Dynasty.

The person who led this fleet was Zhu Youbin, who was ordered to visit Europe.

Although he was a prince, Zhu Youbin went ashore to pay homage to the Prince of Ninghai. The Prince of Ninghai was able to obtain a fiefdom in Chenghua not because he was born in Defan, but because when Jiannu invaded Jinan in the 12th year of Chongzhen, he sent royal families with titles to defend the city according to convention, including Zhu Changshi, the King of Ninghai, Zhu Changbian, the General of Fengguo of Tai'an, Zhu Changqing, the Fourth General of Fengguo of Tai'an, and Zhu Changyan, the General of Fengguo of Linqu. When the four of them broke the city, they all died, and none of them surrendered or retreated.

It is precisely because of this that in order to commend his merits, he was enfeoffed to Chenghua and established the "Ninghai County State". Not only was he granted the county government's authority to appoint and remove officials and collect taxes, but he was also allowed to establish county soldiers. In fact, they were given so much power because of the special nature of Chenghua Province. After all, this is the remote border of the Ming Dynasty and a new conquered land. If the county system was implemented, it would inevitably lead to officials exploiting the people because of the high mountains and the emperor's distance, and the chieftains were employed for the sake of wealth for thousands of miles. Moreover, they were in such a place of transformation? Why did the Ming Dynasty conquered Annan and failed to operate for a long time, the government collapsed, and officials believed that exiles and exploited the people with all their strengths. This is the most fundamental reason.

In contrast, Yunnan, which is also a newly conquered place, has always been very stable. The reason is that the Yunnan family has a Mu Mansion, Mu Mansion, Yunnan Governor and Chieftain, forming a certain balance and mutual supervision situation. The governor supervises the royal mansion, and the royal mansion supervises the governor, and the chieftain is controlled by both sides.

Now the Ming Dynasty's rule over Chenghua Province has learned from the experience of Yunnan and Annan. At the same time, in order to avoid the situation of being too big, the city was directly set up in important places in Chenghua Province, and officials were sent by the court, while the feudal system was retained in remote areas, and these remote areas were the locations of chieftains.

Just like "Zhenrong City" is the settlement of the Meng people. There is a prince here who "pacified the Yi and returned to Xia". At most, it will definitely become another "Southwest Mandarin District". First use the prince and the general to form the chieftain. After the Chineseization is completed, it can gradually "cut down the vassals" and it will not cause any trouble.

When Zhu Youbin went to pay homage to Prince Ninghai, the sailors on the boat had a rare opportunity to relax. For the merchants in Zhenrong Port, the arrival of thousands of sailors also made their business immediately lively. For a time, all the restaurants near the port were prosperous. After drinking and eating, the sailors naturally laughed and went to the port brothel.

Wherever there is a port, there will inevitably be brothels. Of course, the brothels here are definitely not as good as the Qinhuai River, but they are just low-level brothels that receive crew members and dock workers. However, the sailor crew members are not picky, "Three days on the boat, the sow Diao Chan". At the next stop, I don't know where the year of the monkey and horse month is.

After drinking and eating, like others, Zhu Shengwu called a prostitute casually and entered the house. The house was very narrow, with straw mats on the bamboo bed and a piece of cotton cloth. It looked extremely simple, but there was no need to pay much attention to Zhu Shengwu who had been sleeping in the hammock on the ship for many years.

With his hair messy, he was wearing ordinary sailor uniforms. No matter how he looked, he could not see any of the dragons and phoenix grandsons. In fact, he was really a dragons and phoenix grandson. When Zhang Xianzhong broke into Wuchang City, all the Zhu clan members drove them to the riverside and asked him to jump into the water. He was lucky enough to escape from heaven with his water nature.

However, since then, there was no King of Chu again. Because King Zhu Huakui of Chu surrendered to the thief, Emperor Gan Shengdi issued an order to apart the State of Chu, and he became a commoner. In order not to shame his ancestors, he changed his name to Zhu Shengwu.

In the past fifteen years, he has been in many industries in order to survive. He only entered the navy six years ago. The tempering of life has made him less noble and more determined. After seeing Zhu Shengwu's appearance, the prostitute who received him couldn't help but feel a little happy, and then happily served Zhu Shengwu to take off his clothes.

Zhu Shengwu was not polite. When he took off his clothes, he asked by just seeing the woman clearly.

"Do you speak Chinese?"

The prostitute was stunned and nodded in response.

"Will...some, but can't... say it quickly."

"Where did you come from?" Zhu Shengwu asked.

"I came from Japan."

"Oh, Japan..."

Looking at the prostitute in front of him, Zhu Shengwu nodded slightly. This is probably the biggest feature of the Holy Dynasties. The prostitutes in the brothels come from overseas countries, and there will never be any Ming people. Although the Ming laws cannot help but slaves, they prohibit Ming people from selling themselves into slaves or buying Ming people into slaves. Violators will search their homes and travel thousands of miles. Therefore, the prostitutes in the Ming Dynasty are now from overseas countries.

In Chenghua... well, there are also native prostitutes, because many natives have not yet been naturalized as Ming people. This is the typical double standard of imperialism.

However, even so, most Japanese girls are in brothels. Zhu Shengwu, who travels to and from all over the place with the ship, is no longer the unsavvy Long Zifengsun back then. Now he has a lot of knowledge. Of course, he knows that Japan is a very interesting place. Apart from copper ingots, Japanese knives, fans, etc., they have no goods that can be exported to make money.

However, the Japanese maids who were gentle and capable of serving people were "famous brands". While the Japanese maids were imported into large quantities of the Ming Dynasty and various parts of Nanyang, those daimyos who had no investment actually contacted the Ming merchants and sent the women under their jurisdiction to the Ming Dynasty or Nanyang to be prostitutes to earn money. This not only alleviated the physiological needs of Nanyang immigrants, but also allowed Japanese daimyos to obtain additional benefits.

This is of course a dirty and dark history, but from the perspective of future generations, what is the glorious and upright era?

Why use the moral standards of future generations to force this era?

Even though he was born in a royal family, Zhu Shengwu was not fond of love. After a while, he paid an additional ten cents in addition to twenty cents of prostitution.

After spending so many years outside, he knew that these prostitutes were almost all miserable people. Not only did they have to hand over more than half to their boss, but they also had to hand over five cents to Daming. At most, they could only keep five cents. Even if they had to pick up hundreds of customers a month, they would receive more than 10 customers a day, and only earn a few taels of silver a month.

All you earn is hard money.

Giving him a few more cents will always make him feel more comfortable. This is not about pity for the fragrance and jade, but about being pitiful to the miserable.

Life is always so magical. More than ten years ago, he was still a child in the Chu Palace without worries about food and clothing, and he had no idea what the suffering among the people was.

Now, he sleeps in a hammock and has not even married his wife. He can only meet his physical needs in cheap brothels and cheap Japanese prostitutes. Speaking of which, he is just one of the miserable people now.

Maybe this is life!

Finally, after returning to the boat, Zhu Shengwu felt a little tired and was very uncomfortable sleeping regardless of the hammock. He lay on the bed with his hands on the back of his head, closed his eyes and hummed a leisurely song.
