Zhu Cilang nodded after hearing this:

"Very good. These two battles were fought well. The Ming Dynasty military war situation had already begun to develop naval guns, and several shipyards were also increasing their efforts to build ships.

There will be several more shipyards in the future, whether it is warships or large merchant ships, which is far from enough for the Ming Dynasty.

My dear, you must believe that in the near future, the Ming Dynasty warships will reach as many as a thousand, and the most powerful navy on the sea at that time was my Ming Dynasty navy."

Zhu Chenggong and Yue Yang hurriedly bowed and said:

"The emperor is wise and divine, and the Ming army is mighty!"

Zhu Cilang smiled slightly and asked again:

"The British Widdle cannot be killed for the time being. The Ming Dynasty will soon release the ban on sea bans and collect commercial taxes. It will also do business with them and bring him to see me!"

"Abide by the order!"

Yue Yang immediately ordered someone to escort Widell.

As a time traveler, Zhu Ciyang knew that Widdle would become the governor of the British East India Company in the future, and Zhu Ciyang was preparing to use him to replicate the Opium War.

Zhu Ciyang wanted to return the British a hundred times what the British did in China.

Industrial Revolution?

They can't imagine that turning them all into smoke ghosts is Zhu Cilang's ultimate goal.

Weidell suffered a long time. Yue Yang only gave him one meal every day, and from time to time the Jinyiwei would clean him up.

If Emperor Shenwu had not wanted to live, he would not have survived now with the means of the Jinyiwei.

Soon Widell rushed to the front of Emperor Shenwu Zhu Cilang, and the great generals in the palace roared:

"Barish, kneel down and worship the Emperor Shenwu of the Ming Dynasty!"

Weidell was shocked and hurriedly knelt down in front of Emperor Shenwu, saying in a stiff Ming language:

"British envoy, Weidell, pays homage to Emperor Shenwu of the Ming Dynasty!"

Zhu Cilang looked at Weider coldly. Seeing that he had whipped his hair and his face was still whipped, he knew that the Jinyiwei had not tortured him less. After a while, Zhu Cilang snorted coldly:

"The Ming Dynasty is a country of etiquette, and has always won people with virtue. When friends come, they will have good wine. If the wealthy wolf comes, what is waiting for them is a hunting rifle..."

The country of etiquette in the Ming Dynasty was good, and it was said by Zhu Cilang with virtue. The civil and military ministers present were shocked. This was the first time they heard Emperor Shenwu say such words.

In the hearts of civil and military ministers, Emperor Shenwu never convinced others with his virtue, and he always did it as soon as he said it.

Whether it is against Jiannu, Tartar, or corrupt officials, evil gentry and landlords, they always speak with weapons in their hands...

Zhu Cixuan found that Yue Yang and Ma Shiying and others had strange looks on their faces. Of course, he guessed what they were thinking, but he didn't care. Who made him the Emperor of Shenwu!

Since Weidell could suppress the colonial, he could certainly understand the words of Emperor Shenwu. He knew that he led a fleet into the Ming Dynasty's waters, which completely annoyed the Ming Dynasty's emperor.

But he had already been retribution. The Jinyiwei's whip was broken several times, and he was almost starved to death by one meal a day...

But thinking about the soldiers under his command being beaten to death and those who were fed the fish, he suddenly felt that he was lucky, at least he was still alive now...

Seeing that the Emperor of Ming Dynasty was cold, he was worried about being executed and hurriedly kowtowed to Zhu Cilang:

"Your Majesty the Emperor of Ming Dynasty, the villain knows his mistake. I would like to ask Your Majesty the Emperor of Ming Dynasty not to remember the villain's faults. The prime minister can hold a boat in his stomach, so he can put a horse on his body..."

Zhu Cilang was surprised that this kid could even speak Chinese names, but he still said coldly:

"It was obviously a robber, and he had the face to say that he was an envoy. Even those who violated our Ming Dynasty will be punished."

"Come on, push this British man out and cut him into pieces. He will not be allowed to die before he is three thousand knives..."

Widell originally hoped that the Emperor of Ming Dynasty would let him go, but when he heard that he had cut into pieces, his eyes suddenly rolled and fainted.

"Damn, I was scared to death. I dared to break into my Ming Dynasty so timid. It seems that I am a person who bullies the weak and is afraid of the strong. I will wake him up!"

After Zhu Cilang said that, he waved his hand and immediately brought a basin of cold water on Weidell's face. Weidell then woke up slowly and hurriedly lay down and kowtowed:

"Your Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, please spare your life! You Ming Dynasty said that if you can forgive others, please forgive others. As long as the Emperor will spare the villain's life, the villain is willing to be a cow and a horse for the Ming Dynasty..."

In order to survive, Weidell shouted desperately when he was pushed away by the Jinyiwei, and shouted to be a cow or a horse...

Zhu Cilang raised his hand and said:

"Push back!"

"Abide by the order!"

The Jinyiwei was about to go out. When he heard Emperor Shenwu's words, he hurriedly pushed Weidell back. Weidell lay on the ground and trembled all over. He secretly shouted that he was almost going to see the King of Hell...

"Thank you for not killing Emperor Ming!"

Zhu Cilang said lightly:

"I trespassed into the seas of the Ming Dynasty and entered the mouth of the master. I should have executed you, but I am kind-hearted and prepared to spare your life.

The Ming Dynasty will soon open the maritime ban. If you want to trade with the Ming Dynasty, you can send envoys here, but you must abide by the Ming Dynasty's laws, otherwise you will be killed without mercy!

I will send you a small boat and I will let you go back today. As for whether you can return to the UK, it depends on your luck. People come to send him to Guangdong..."

"Don't kill me?"

He was almost cut into pieces just now, but Weidell did not expect that the Emperor of Ming Dynasty suddenly changed his mind and saved his life. Weidell felt like he was dreaming.

After reacting, he hurriedly kowtowed to Emperor Shenwu again and thanked him:

"Thank you, His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, for your kindness. After the Ming Dynasty relaxes the maritime ban, the villain will definitely come to trade with the Ming Dynasty..."

Zhu Cilang said coldly:

"It is not impossible to trade with the Ming Dynasty, but there are conditions. You trespassed into our Ming Dynasty, resulting in casualties between soldiers and people in the Ming Dynasty. You must compensate 200,000 taels of silver so that both sides can trade..."

"Two hundred thousand taels of silver?"

Widdle was so angry that he was penniless now. How could he compensate the Ming Dynasty? If the fleet is still there, they could easily get 200,000 taels of silver, but...

Zhu Cilang knew what Widell was thinking and said:

"Now don't you compensate immediately. Just wait until you make up for the trade with the Ming Dynasty. Otherwise, the trade will be free of negotiations. If someone comes, send him to Guangdong!"

"Abide by the order!"

In this way, Widdle was sent away...

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content behind! After he left, Yue Yang asked:

"Your Majesty, why do you want to let him go back? This person will definitely take revenge after he returns. You might as well just do it and kill him directly!"

Zhu Cilang smiled faintly:

"I have a clever plan. I will come and order the Guangdong side not to make things difficult for Weddle, give him a two-person boat and let him die for himself. I don't believe he can return to the colony safely!"

...

After dealing with the matter of Weidell, Zhu Cixuan returned to the bedroom and sat in front of the imperial case to continue reading the information.

Chen Yunying gently walked behind him and rubbed his shoulders with his soft and boneless jade hands...

"Your Majesty, the latest information!"

Suddenly, the secret guard leader Li Mi called out softly outside, and Zhu Cixuan put down his hands and reported the news:

"Come in!"

"Abide by the order!"

Li Mi pushed the door and came forward and bowed to Zhu Cilang, then handed over a piece of information with both hands.

Zhu Cilang immediately opened the seal to watch. After reading the information, he asked lightly:

"The person behind the scenes has not been found yet?"

Li Mi hurriedly bowed and said:

"Report to Your Majesty, the people behind the scenes have started preparing for this very early. They kept it secret and did not leak enough evidence yet. Ruochen guessed it well, it should have been done by the Nanjing nobles!"

"Don't hurry, you can't escape them. Keep a close eye on these people and retreat!"

"Abide by the order!"

Li Mi bowed and then withdrew...

Three days later, Zhu Cilang led the Shenwu Army and the Hubi Army to leave Fengyang, and the land reform in Fengyang was going smoothly.

He handed over the security of Fengyang to Fengyang General Yang Yufan, who was also in charge of the troops stationed and trained in Fengyang, and also assisted by Gao Yigong Liu Fangliang and others.

Zhu Cixuan believed that Fengyang General Yang Yufan, with the assistance of Gao Yigong and Liu Fangliang, should be able to manage Fengyang's public security well.

In addition to Yang Yufan, Fengyang Governor Ma Shiying was also very obedient. He did not have the opportunity to engage in internal struggles like in history, and devoted himself to Fengyang land reform.

Ma Shiying knew very well that if there was a problem with Fengyang land reform, Emperor Shenwu would never let him go.

Whenever he thinks of Emperor Shenwu killing tens of thousands of evil gentry landlords in Fengyang and killing nearly a thousand officials in the imperial tomb, Ma Shiying will have nightmares...

Zhu Cixuan originally wanted to cross the river from Chuzhou. After dealing with Weidell, he changed his mind and decided to go to Taiping Prefecture first, and then cross the river from Jiujiang Prefecture to meet Zuo Liangyu.

Land reform in Jiangnan and Huguang is very important, especially Huguang is the main grain-producing area of ​​Daming. If Zuo Liangyu is not solved, he will definitely make trouble.

Taiping Prefecture is the place where Ma'anshan and Wuhu in later generations...
