Chapter 40: The Forgotten Man

At dawn, when Yun Zhao was washing, he suddenly heard Yun Chun's exclamation from outside the house.

After he hurriedly washed, he came to the courtyard, looked in the direction of Yun Chun and Yun Hua's fingers, and saw a glider hovering in the sky, Qian Duoduo held a telescope and looked at it for a while, then said to Yun Zhao: "Husband, this guy above is holding a telescope and looking down at you, is it a crime to peep into your harem?" ”

Yun Zhao took the binoculars from Qian Duoduo's hand and looked at the glider, and sure enough, there was a soft pocket on the belly of the glider, and there was really a guy in the soft pocket who was holding a telescope in one hand and looking down.

Yun Zhao put down the binoculars and said to Yun Qi, who came over with a gun: "Go, arrest this guy." ”

Yun Qi said: "What crime? ”

"Voyeurism of state secrets."

Yun Qi agreed, and after a while, a group of people on horseback followed Yun Qi.

Just after Yun Qi walked for a short time, Yun Chun and Yun Hua seemed to be excited again, Yun Zhao went out to look again, but found that a huge hot air balloon was slowly floating over the Yun Clan's mansion, because it was not flying very high, he could even see the occasional orange-red flame erupting under the hot air balloon.

Qian Duoduo held the telescope and continued to look at the hot air balloon, this time she didn't say anything about the people on the hot air balloon peeping into the Yun family's mansion, but just called with Yun Chun and Yun Hua happily.

That's how the glider goes, it can't fly far without autonomous power generation and without entering the stratosphere.

Therefore, it didn't take long for Pei Yong, a student of the 19th phase of Yushan who was riding a glider, to be captured alive by Yunqi.

was caught, but he was not afraid, and he smiled at Yun Zhao and threw his hand,

Looking at this tired boy, Yun Zhao said lazily: "Beat the board and drive it away." ”

Hearing Yun Zhao say this, this tired kid couldn't laugh anymore, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, the student just wants to show His Majesty this glider, and he doesn't have the idea of peeping into the harem."

Besides, whether it is Empress Feng or Empress Qian, they have seen each other many times in the academy, and they are all students' mentors, how can they be regarded as voyeurs. ”

Yun Zhao snorted and said, "This is the secret of the Empire. ”

Pei Yong immediately became anxious, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, the student has recently researched an aircraft that can fly autonomously, the design has been finalized, and the experiment is almost complete, if Your Majesty is willing to invest a thousand silver dollars, the student will be able to come up with a prototype." ”

Yun Zhao naturally didn't believe that this guy would be able to get the engine right now, so he waved his hand impatiently and said, "Pull it out and beat it." ”

"Your Majesty, wait!"

Yun Zhao turned around and saw that Qian Duoduo had come out, so he smiled and said, "It seems that you are interested in this guy's plane, so I'll leave it to you." ”

Anyway, no matter how this guy tosses, with the current level of science, it is still okay to play with hot air balloons and hydrogen balloons, as for airplanes, it is more than two hundred years later.

The hot air balloon is just that, the conditions for making a hydrogen balloon are ripe, and since Nanyang sent a large amount of natural rubber, Yun Zhao's self-confidence has swelled very much.

If one or several giant hydrogen balloons appear in the sky in this era, even if they have no actual combat significance, they can scare many armies into a lot of fart, especially in the face of barbarian peoples.

When I returned to the big study, I saw that the big study was flanked by busy staff, and a sense of satisfaction rose from the soles of my feet to the top of my head...... These people are working for him alone.

This is the proudest place since he became emperor.

Through these people, every order he gave would eventually spread through these people to all the places where the Ming people lived.

Yun Zhao thought so, and Han Xiufen thought so at first, thinking that Yun Zhao's power could reach any corner where the Ming people lived, and she was willing to shine the light of Yun Zhao to the whole world.

Defeated the Dutch, defeated the Dutch East India Company, and the entire island of Java finally fell into the hands of Han Xiufen.

This is a huge island with no edge in sight, and in Han Xiufen's opinion, this island alone is enough to feed millions of people in the Ming Dynasty.

To do this, she sent warships around the huge island in the opposite direction, trying to draw the exact edge of the island, after which she would send her army to re-survey the entire island until it was clear.

This is a rich island that Han Xiufen is crazy about, just the land composed of a layer of volcanic ash on the ground that is two feet thick, Han Xiufen feels that the more than 1,300 Ming soldiers who died for this island are considered to be very worthwhile.

In order to assert sovereignty, from the moment Count Rennes fled from Java Island by boat, Han Xiufen erected a huge Lantian County boundary monument on the island, thus declaring that the island was part of the inalienable territory of the Ming Empire.

For this reason, she even ordered an iron pillar with a diameter of two feet and a height of two zhang to be erected here, and an inscription was engraved on the iron pillar, using this almost immortal way to declare the sovereignty of the Ming Dynasty over this land.

After doing these things, Han Xiufen completely blocked the island, and the 30,000 marines under Sun Chuanting's command, plus the 21,000 navies of Han Xiufen's headquarters, began a dragnet search on this island.

Han Xiufen searched the island for six months...... During this time, huge sailing ships continued to travel to and from the islands, and even the dwarf primitive people in the island's rainforest did not escape the fate of being caught and sent away.

From the first time Han Xiufeng set foot on this island, he didn't plan to let there be people of other races on this island.

She believes that as long as there are enough Ming people here, within a hundred years, this place will definitely become a rich place of oil, and it will become a military and cultural center of the Ming Dynasty in Nanyang.

For this reason, she devoted all her energy to cleaning up this island, as long as this island was cleaned up, she could welcome a large number of people from the coastal areas of the Ming Dynasty to come to reclaim.

It wasn't until Liu Mingliang grabbed an ancient man and sent it to Han Xiufen that she stopped what she was doing.

The man who was caught was very quiet, not panicking like the savages, nor struggling like the man-eating savages, he just stood there quietly, without saying a word.

The cow-eared shoes woven after the coconut skin is beaten soft, and the calf-nosed shorts woven after the coconut skin is beaten soft, the upper body is naked, but the head is combed with a bun and a wooden hairpin is fixed.

His skin was dark, but it was not the pure black of the aborigines on the island, he looked a little burnt yellow, and his black eyes made Han Xiufen feel that this guy looked like a Ming man at the first time!

"Only this one found?"

Han Xiufen asked Liu Mingliang.

Liu Mingliang said: "It should be a group, but this guy led us to run crookedly, and finally caught it with a fishing net before he was about to jump off the cliff." ”

Han Xiufen glanced at this man, opened her mouth and said, "You are my Ming man?" “

The man remained silent.

Han Xiufen said lightly: "Since it's not my Ming people, let's kill it." “

Liu Mingliang thought so, waved his hand, and immediately two sergeants came over, pushing this man and about to go out.

When he went out, Han Xiufen said to Liu Mingming: "He can actually understand our words." ”

Liu Mingliang said: "However, we have already identified ourselves, why would he rather die than speak?" ”

Han Xiufen shook her head and said: "There must be something strange in this, since you can catch one, then you should be able to catch more, you know, there are many people, basically there is no such thing as a hero." ”

After speaking, the two went out to see the execution of this man.

Outside Han Xiufen's tent was a gallows erected by the Dutch East India Company, where it is said that 3,000 people were hanged.

The rope buckle fell on the man's neck, and when the executioner shouted the slogan and was about to pull the flap mechanism, the man suddenly shouted heartbreakingly to the depths of the Java mountains: "Mother, the child is not filial, and he will be your son in the next life." ”

Liu Mingliang was stunned for a moment and said: "It's actually standard Hangzhou dialect." ”

Han Xiufen looked at Liu Mingliang and said, "How do you know that this is Hangzhou dialect?" ”

Liu Mingliang said: "When I returned to China, I married a wife who bought it from Hangzhou, and she spoke in this tone. ”

Han Xiufen's eyebrows were about to rise, and she said in a deep voice: "You said that you went back to marry a wife, but you didn't say that your wife was bought." ”

Liu Mingliang smiled bitterly: "The reputation is bad, the daughter of a good family in Lantian County refused to marry me, so I had to ask someone to buy a Yangzhou thin horse from Hangzhou, but it turned out to be from Hangzhou and I was deceived." ”

"Is there still human trafficking in the country? Zhang Guozhu, Zhou Guoping, what are they doing to eat, besides, you miscellaneous people are actually buying and selling people? As Han Xiufen spoke, she grabbed Liu Mingming's neck and lifted him up.

Liu Mingliang didn't struggle, but fortunately he could still speak, so he sighed and said, "Buy it from her mother...... Bah, it was a dowry that gave a lot of money, and her mother was willing to marry her daughter to me, in addition, she didn't suffer a loss if she married me, I treated her very well, and even the official land allocated to me by the court was handed over to her to take care of, and the little girl was very satisfied. ”

Han Xiufen heard that Liu Mingming's wife was married, so she let him go, and then looked at the crying man and said, "Hey, we are the imperial army, not pirates." ”

The man cried and said, "The Great Song Dynasty has long perished, so you don't want to blame me." ”

"Great Song?"

Han Xiufen and Liu Mingliang glanced at each other, and Liu Mingliang said, "Are you from Song?" ”

"You're a northerner under the command of the Mongols, aren't you?"

Liu Mingliang sneered and said: "The Mongols have been almost killed by Lao Tzu, Lao Tzu is a real Han people, and now he is a Ming person, Lao Tzu's emperor is a Han person, and he is also a Ming person, as for the Mongolians, they are now raising cattle and sheep for Lao Tzu." ”

As he spoke, he walked up to the gallows, took the noose off the man's neck, untied his rope and slapped him on the back and said, "Go back and call out all your people, the king is here, what are you still running." ”
