    It is normal for Zhu Chenhao to be ashamed to see his ancestral tablet. His uncle could do such a shameless thing as robbing his nephew Jiangshan. What is even more shameless is that he actually lost the robbing, and lost at the hands of a fool known to the whole country. If the ancestors of the Zhu family were  If there is a spirit in heaven, you must be speechless.

    Rebellion is a very treacherous and unethical thing. It is the first of all crimes. Of course, whether it is a crime or a merit depends on the result of the rebellion. The Yongle crisis more than a hundred years ago was also a rebellion in which an uncle seized the throne of his nephew, but King Zhu Di of Yan won.  So rebellion was beautified as "Jingnan", and historians recorded in the history books that everything was great, bright and just. Even so, Emperor Yongle, as the victor, still felt guilty for half his life.  It came into being to deal with all kinds of gossip that makes me sleepy and uneasy.

    Zhu Chenhao knelt in front of the Ancestral Temple, staring blankly at the ground. His body seemed to have been drained of the last ray of life. He no longer had the arrogance he had in the Anqing camp. Now he also understood that no matter whether he was jumping around and cursing or yelling,  Noisy, he is a loser after all. The loser's fate is doomed, and the loser's arrogance will only gain more contempt.

    Looking at Zhu Chenhao who was kneeling on the ground and bowing his head silently, Zhu Houzhao had a complicated mood, and the joy he felt after the victory gradually disappeared without a trace.  This old man who was over fifty years old and kneeling on the ground was once his most beloved uncle. When he was still the prince of the East Palace, this kind-faced uncle looked at him with doting eyes and smiles countless times. Sometimes Zhu Houzhao even felt that he  More generous and caring than my father.

    ? Ambition and lust for power have finally pushed the uncle and nephew to this point. So what if they win?  Is it worthy of joy?

    Zhu Houzhao, who was in high spirits, suddenly felt boring, and an extremely lonely mood came to his heart.

    "Zhu Chenhao, today you kneel in front of the Ancestral Temple and take a good look at the ancestral tablets" Zhu Houzhao turned his head with a complicated expression and sighed: "Your rebellion is not an impulse, but a process that has taken place over several generations and hundreds of years."  You have planned carefully and put the laws of the country first, but I cannot forgive you."

    Zhu Chenhao raised his head, then quickly lowered his head and said with a sad smile: "The winner is the king and the loser is the bandit, what can I say?"

    "After all, you are also of the Tian family bloodline. I will give you a decent way to die."

    "Thank you."

    ¡­¡­¡­¡­

    ¡­¡­¡­¡­

    After the prisoner presentation ceremony ended, Zhu Chenhao was taken to the inner prison. Zhu Houzhao left the court and the officials dispersed in twos and threes.

    Not long after, the imperial edict from the palace reached the General Administration Department, stating that Zhu Chenhao, the rebel king, had conspired against the king and was guilty of an unpardonable crime. He was ordered to be executed in prison and his body preserved, and the clan government was ordered to collect the remains and bury him properly.

    There were more than a hundred people in the Jiangxi Ningwang lineage. Except for Zhu Chenhao's three sons who were beheaded, the rest were all demoted to common people and official slaves. Ningwang's lineage was forever removed from its name and vassalage, and would never be rekindled.

    It is worth mentioning that Zhu Chenhao¡¯s concubine, Lou, resolutely committed suicide by throwing herself into a well the moment Wang Shouren led his troops to capture Nanchang City. A generation of virtuous concubines, entrusted to inhumane people, finally fulfilled their integrity and shamed their husbands.  The infamous Ningwang rebellion in Jiangxi only has this lingering fragrance left.

    The front hall of Duke Ning¡¯s Mansion.

    Qin Kan, who was wearing a green Xuan Confucian shirt, was slowly blowing the hot tea in the tea cup, seemingly listening to Ding Shun's report leisurely, with a calm expression, neither sad nor happy.

    "My lord, Ye Jinquan, the deputy commander-in-chief of Liaodong, sent tens of thousands of Liaodong giant trees, all of which were piled up in Tianjin Donggang. Over the past year, Jinyiwei has gone to heaven and earth to look for shipbuilding craftsmen, and they have gathered thousands of people"

    Qin Kan was thoughtful, but he was talking about another thing: "Ye Jinquan or the deputy commander-in-chief of Liaodong?"

    Ding Shun said with a smile: "Didn't my father-in-law say after he executed Li Gao that it would be too conspicuous to appoint Ye Jinquan as the commander-in-chief? Let him serve as deputy commander-in-chief for a while first?"

    "How has Ye Jinquan performed in the past two years?"

    "The performance is good. According to the strategy of the father-in-law, Ye Jinquan is immersed in military training. In addition, the father-in-law continuously sends various firearms, blunderbuss and Franco machine cannons to Liaodong from Beijing. The six generals of Liaodong are equipped with more and more firearms.  , and Ye Jinquan often led his troops to take the initiative to attack, often fighting a few small battles with the Tatars. At the beginning, the victory or defeat was often 50-50. Later, Ye Jinquan gradually figured out a new way of fighting in actual combat, with the coordination of swords, guns and arrow formations.  Firearms and cavalry, coupled with large-scale Franco machine gunfire coverage, actually led to more victories and fewer losses, and many gains were made."

    Qin Kan smiled: "He is indeed a general. I didn't make any mistakes."

    Ding Shun hurriedly flattered him and said: "When did the Lord pass by? Anyone who can gain the attention of the Lord, be reused, and be accepted as a confidant, who is not a first-class hero in the world?"

    Qin Kan glanced at him sideways and said with a smile: "I'm just going to pretend not to understand what you're actually saying."Go ahead and put some money on your face.  "

    Ding Shun laughed endlessly.

    Qin Kan tapped the table lightly and muttered: "After working hard for a year or two, I have led the way and made many achievements. My qualifications are almost enough. If my reputation is not right, my words will not be smooth. No matter how powerful I am, I only have a deputy position, so I should be given"  Ye Jinquan is known as a general military officer"

    Ding Shun's eyes turned red with envy: "Tsk, tsk, in less than two years, a white warrior has become the commander-in-chief of the Six Guards. Ye Jinquan has accumulated so much virtue in his previous life to gain his father-in-law's favor and appreciation  ¡­¡±

    Qin Kan smiled and said: "Don't accuse me of nepotism in my heart. I always only look at people's ability. If you are envious, I will send you to Liaodong. I don't ask much from you. As long as you kill a hundred Tatars with your own hands."  Bring your head to me, and I will make you a commander-in-chief."

    Ding Shun hurriedly waved his hand and said: "Master, my subordinate has always been a very indifferent person"

    Qin Kan's expression became more sincere: "How about I cut you off and send you to the palace as an errand? The palace has an elegant scenery and is aloof from the world. It is a good place for tranquility and far-reaching, indifference and clear aspirations. Except for the inconvenient peeing position,  There are no other shortcomings"

    Ding Shun sweated slightly on his forehead: "Master, have we gone off topic?"

    "What is the theme?"

    "The theme is that four lucky ships have been built in Tianjin Donggang and were successfully launched the day before yesterday. Yan Song, the prefect of Tianjin, and officials from the Tianjin Shipping Department sent letters to the capital. They all said that the new ships are of exquisite craftsmanship and exquisite materials, and are suitable for long voyages.  .¡±

    "How big is the lucky boat?"

    "Two thousand materials" Ding Shun smiled and said: "During the Yongle period, Zheng He made seven voyages to the West. The ships built at that time were all large treasure ships with five thousand materials. It is a pity that after the death of the eunuch Sanbao, the Ming Dynasty coast  The shipyards were all abandoned, and the craftsmanship of shipbuilding craftsmen was getting weaker and weaker from generation to generation. The craftsmanship of building treasure ships was thus lost. What is even more pity is that old man Liu Daxia, the former Minister of War, said that the Western voyages were only a waste of people's lives and could only show the emperor's great achievements and benefit the country.  It was of no benefit to the people at all, not to mention that our vast country in China was vast and rich in resources, and could be self-sufficient, so there was no need to go on a sea cruise, so he burned the charts and diaries that Zheng He had drawn during his seven voyages to the West. It is said that Liu Daxia burned them in the same year.  After completing the chart, he won the praise of all the civil servants of the court, and the late emperor had no choice but to pinch his nose and praise him for his maturity in seeking the country"

    Ding Shun said with a fierce look on his old face, gritted his teeth and said: "This old guy Liu Daxia is so stupid. Eunuch Sanbao's whole life's hard work was easily burned by him. As a result, whether we are building ships or going to sea, we have to do everything from scratch.  , just searching for those old shipbuilding craftsmen whose skills are still alive has cost Jin Yiwei so much manpower and material resources. The craftsmanship of building treasure ships back then has not been found until now. At most, it can only build a lucky ship with two thousand materials. Master, this old man  This thing is simply causing harm to the country and the people. Why don't you ask the Lord to issue an order and have your subordinates chase Liu Daxia's hometown, dig up his family's ancestral graves, and chop the old guy into pieces"

    Qin Kan scolded: "What a bastard! Are you addicted to digging for people's ancestors' graves? Don't do things that harm your moral character in the future. It will not only bring disaster to your descendants, but also make you have a bad reputation. If you leave your name in the history books after your death, it will teach the historians."  How to write your character biography? 'Master Ding is good at digging up ancestral graves'? Is it disgusting?"

    Ding Shun's eyes lit up: "It doesn't matter if you are good at digging up ancestral graves. The important thing is 'Master Ding'. Haha, sir, will one day my subordinates be granted the title of marquis in the future?"

    Qin Kan smiled calmly and said: "Follow me and work hard. It will not be difficult for me to guarantee you a title of marquis in the future. With the title, you will be considered a noble. If future generations do not rebel, they will be protected by your title for eternity."

    Ding Shun was overjoyed and hurriedly bowed to express his thanks.

    Qin Kan smiled lightly, but felt extremely helpless in his heart.

    A matter that could obviously go straight and straightforward, was messed up by Liu Daxia and took a big detour, and now there is no way to get back. The charts were burned, the logbooks were burned, and the shipbuilding technology was abolished. It turns out that times are not always progressing.  , will always be set back years or even decades because of the foolish actions of some bitches. However, these bitches do not feel that they are mean, but are proud of themselves, thinking that they have done a good thing that benefits the country and the people.

    Although Liu Daxia became an official and left the court, who knows how many ministers who are as ignorant as Liu Daxia are still hiding in the court today?  Lifting a sea ban, strengthening the country, strengthening the army, and enriching the people it will be extremely difficult to realize these ideals in the future.

    "My lord, although it is only a fortune ship worth two thousand dollars, it is enough to sail to Japan, Korea, Ryukyu and other vassal states. Nowadays, Zhejiang merchants and Fujian merchants have many ships going to sea privately, and almost all of them are worth one thousand or two thousand dollars.  , every time we go back and forth, we often make hundreds of thousands of taels of profit. It¡¯s really a big deal with a profit of 10,000 yuan. Master, we have newly built these four great fortune ships in Tianjin Donggang, plus a few grain ships and fire ships, to form a fleet.  When you go to sea, making money is a big deal, so it¡¯s better to do it sooner rather than later.¡±

    Ding Shun's nose glowed red as he spoke, and his eyes flashed with excitement. However, he knew that his official position was too low. Going to sea to make money was something only Mr. Qin and those nobles were qualified to do. He was not qualified to get involved.  .

    Qin Kan thought for a while and said with a smile: "Four lucky ships are barely enough. You send a letter to Ye Jinquan of Liaodong and ask him to send more giant trees. The craftsmen in the shipyard cannot stop building ships for a day. Jinyiwei will try to find more people living among the people.  Old craftsmen strive to restore the craftsmanship of treasure ships that used five thousand materials. Now that this has been done, the momentum must be huge. It can be regarded as a foreshadowing of the sea ban and an opening gong" (Remember the website address:  www.hlnovel.com)?, but he knew that his official position was too low, and going out to sea to make money was something only Mr. Qin and those nobles were qualified to do, and he was not qualified to get involved.
