My Daming New Empire

Page 819

Regardless of their willingness or not, today they bowed down and handed over their credentials, and Daming became a justifiable kingdom of heaven.

And Zhu Zhanji is not stingy. Every tribe and country has rewards according to their actual situation.

When the sky was gloomy, the light bulbs in the palace lit up one by one. All the envoys looked at the lit lights, and many people were so frightened that they knelt down and bowed.

In their eyes, this is a miracle.

Although Zhu Di abdicated and gave up the three halls, he still lived in the harem, and Zhu Zhanji had no intention of letting him vacate his place.

At the end of a busy day, Zhu Zhanji and Zhu Di ate a few snacks on the way when they came back at noon.All exhausted now.

Zhu Zhanji personally sent Zhu Di to the harem to rest, and then returned to Xingqing Palace.

At this time, the East Palace was headed by Mrs. Zhang, his concubines, children, and younger brothers and sisters.

Except for Mrs. Zhang, everyone knelt together in the open space between Xingqing Palace and the three main halls.

Zhu Zhanji asked everyone to get up, first asked Mrs. Zhang and Sun Xian about today's big reward in the palace, and then announced that the reward for the younger brothers and sisters was also five hundred. The five younger brothers who got married not only received half the reward for their concubines , Those who have children will also be rewarded in half.

It is equivalent to saying that each of these five younger brothers has at least a thousand taels of gold as a reward, which is enough for them to recruit some more entourages.

After finishing all this work, Zhu Zhanji returned to Xingqing Palace. Seeing the brightly lit palace, he suddenly felt an illusion.

This is the king...

(There may be another chapter in the later plot, and I will enter a new world, a new world that has been changed by the traverser. I need to think about it.)

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

"Da Zhuang, take care of your sister, don't run around. If you bump into the military master, you will be whipped."

A little guy with a snot hanging from his mouth, at most ten years old.Although it was already early winter, he was only wearing a small padded jacket, and the sleeves of the padded jacket were covered with scabs of snot, making it look shiny.

He took a younger sister by the hand, followed behind his mother, and boarded the shaky gangway with some worry.

Behind them, a man in his 30s was carrying a burden.On one end of the burden are some quilts and clothes, on the other end there is an iron pan and a rice bowl separated by a straw rope, and a sickle is exposed in a package.

Da Zhuang looked at the mighty navy soldiers above, and whispered, "Father, I want to be a soldier when I grow up."

The man carrying the burden glanced at the navy soldiers enviously, nodded and said, "The King of Han promised that as long as you go to Xizhou with him, regardless of gender, you can enter the school. Only when you can read and write can you be a military master, so In the future, you must learn to read well."

After speaking, he couldn't help but sighed.A few years ago, he was also considered a military household, not to mention guaranteeing income in drought and flood, at least he could make his family happy.

But it has only been a few years, and the military households that were originally considered low-class people have now become fragrant buns.Those who cannot read and write will no longer be able to continue serving as soldiers.

Because of his illiteracy, he was dismissed a few months ago and changed from a military household to a peasant household.Although the land is also divided, but first of all, they have to borrow seeds and farm tools from the imperial court to settle down.

At this time, the King of Han was recruiting followers in the area of ​​Qingzhou, which was originally the fiefdom of the King of Han. He used to serve as a soldier for the King of Han. He heard that as soon as they arrived in Xizhou, the King of Han packed seeds, farm tools, and even returned them cattle. The conditions of the imperial court are much better.

The imperial court had to repay the borrowed ones in the future, and followed the king of Han. In the future, as long as he paid taxes, he would be exempted from these, and he could also teach the children to read and write. He signed up directly without thinking too much.

Sign up in October, from Qingzhou to Jiaozhou, and then board the ship.

"Father, this boat is so big, it's still smoking!" Da Zhuang was still a little restless being hugged by his mother, he felt that he couldn't get enough of this big boat.

His mother glanced under the side of the boat and felt a little dizzy, holding a baby in her arms, she sat down against the side of the boat.

Da Zhuang's father put down his luggage, took out a number plate made of bamboo, and said to a young soldier with a smile, "Master Jun, this is our family's boarding pass."

Contrary to what he thought, the young sergeant looked at the boarding pass, checked his household registration and said, "Eldest son Yao... has been a soldier before, and he is in good health. It will take more than two months at sea. If you want to , go to the deck to help work, and you can earn two oceans."

There is such a good thing, Yao eldest son said quickly: "I am willing, I am willing."

The other party nodded and confessed: "The sea is not as good as the land. The boat is cramped and it takes several months to travel. When the weather is calm, the family can come up to the deck for a stroll, but when there is a strong wind, you must watch the children, otherwise, When a wave comes, it may throw people into the sea, and they can't be picked up even if they want to."

This sergeant had a good attitude. He took their family into the cabin, went down to the second floor, and gave them a small warehouse.

This cabin is less than two meters high, two meters deep, and only 1.5 meters wide.After entering, there are four beds protruding from four half-meter-wide planks.

There are two adults and four children in their family, and the two children sleep in one bed, which is just right.

After explaining some taboos on the ship, the other party gave him a wooden sign representing the auxiliary army.With this wooden sign, he is equivalent to the auxiliary personnel on the ship. He helps out on the ship on weekdays and can receive half of the salary of ordinary soldiers.

Today's navy has undergone a super expansion, and many soldiers who have not undergone sea training are directly assigned to the navy after retiring from the army.

They had no shipboard skills, and had to be led by veterans of the navy, and there were at least a third of them on a ship.

Due to lack of experience, whether it is daily sailing, sail setting or sail control after encountering wind and waves, more manpower is needed.

Now the warships of the navy need a large number of auxiliary troops to assist them.

Of course, the Navy doesn't expect them to go to war.On the sea, no country is an opponent of Ming Dynasty. These ships with many beginners are mainly responsible for transportation tasks.

After making arrangements for the family, the eldest son Yao stuffed the luggage under the bed, and the quilts were spread directly on the bed. Then he heaved a sigh of satisfaction and began to study the wooden sign.

He knew a little bit of carpentry, but even the best woodworker he had ever seen couldn't polish such a wooden sign, and could carve fine and small characters on the wooden sign.

In addition to clear writing, the wooden sign is finely crafted and polished round and smooth.After studying for a long time, he couldn't guess how the wooden sign was made.

What he didn't know was that because of the improvement of lathe technology, many appliances that were difficult to make were now simpler and simpler.

Even precision bearings can be made, not to mention this kind of lathe mold with low technical content.You only need to add a few sets of traveling molds to the lathe, not to mention wooden signs, even iron signs can be directly processed.

In fact, the military badges of naval officers and soldiers are all made of iron, with not only the fleet number on it, but also a personal number.

Only temporary personnel will issue this kind of wooden sign.

When he was obsessed with research, newcomers were arranged into the cabin from time to time, and some of them talked a lot, and they would come over to chat with each other from time to time.

Because this is a boat following the Hanwang Mansion to Xizhou, and most of the Hanwang recruits from the Qingzhou area, most of them are fellow villagers.

They chatted together and looked forward to a better life in the future.

While at Jiaozhou Port, Zhu Zhanqi, the second son of King Han, and Zhu Zhantan, the third son, suffered from headaches because of the supplies of the expeditionary fleet.

Among the major palaces, the prince's palace is the main one, and the county prince's palace is the second.

This time, the imperial court will take back each prince's mansion, the mansion of the county prince's mansion, including the fief, and then make compensation according to the regulations.

Each princely mansion needs to hand over the mansion and land to the court, and then the court will redistribute the mansion in the capital, and only live in one branch of the direct line.

For the recovered land, the imperial court gave corresponding material compensation. If they wanted gold, they would give gold, if they wanted cotton cloth, they would give cotton cloth, and if they wanted ironware, they would give ironware.

And give each prince's mansion three thousand guards, including muskets, to supplement their strength.

But the imperial court only bears these. In addition, if each palace wants to bring more people to the fiefdom, all supplies must be purchased by themselves.

The palace of the King of Han went to Xizhou, where there were many Kunlun slaves. The court was considerate and gave an extra guard, that is, 3000 guards.
