The Ming Dynasty was still rampant with natural disasters and man-made disasters, and the new emperor Ming Sizong Zhu Youzhen succeeded him in a few days after the death of his brother Zhu Youxiao according to the original history, but Li Tianyang was worried about him for a few days before getting the exact news.

Zhu Youzhen's succession to the throne was a happy event for Li Tianyang, because Li Tianyang's investment in him when the new emperor was down, and now it is finally time to harvest.

Of course, His Majesty Ming Sizong, who succeeded him at the beginning of the year, was busy burying his brother Zhu Youxiao, the Emperor of the Apocalypse, and the mess in the court, and he really couldn't care about repaying Li Tianyang.

Moreover, Li Tianyang does not need Emperor Chongzhen's return for a while, he is now living very freely in the position of Admiral of the Navy, and has a good relationship with Governor Zhu Yifeng, this chief official does not criticize Li Tianyang every day, Li Tianyang is very free.

For a while, Li Tianyang didn't think that if he wanted to be promoted, he would mean to be transferred to other places, but he really didn't want Emperor Chongzhen to leave the position of Admiral of Fujian Navy because of his original contribution to Hongmen.

There was a riot of thousands of people in Shaanxi and other places, which gave the newly appointed Emperor Chongzhen a headache, but it also made Li Tianyang and Qi San look forward to it.

Only when there is a riot will there be displaced people, and only when there are displaced people will Hongmen have the opportunity to receive heads and strengthen themselves.

It is said that from the beginning of the fifth year of the Apocalypse to this year, there has been a severe drought in northern Shaanxi for many years, and the people are not able to make a living, and many of the displaced people recruited by Qi San and others in recent years are people from northern Shaanxi.

In particular, since March this year, the severe drought in northern Shaanxi has become more and more serious, coupled with the rampant epidemic and the death of many people, the situation of "running out of grass and trees and cannibalism" has become the common situation of villagers in northern Shaanxi and other places. However, the local bureaucracy did not care about the lives of the villagers, and the taxes that should be levied were not less, and the conscription that should be performed did not decrease for a day, and finally provoked a popular uprising.

In July of the seventh year of the Apocalypse, Wang Er, Chong Guangdao and others gathered hundreds of hungry people in Baishui County, planted flags in Baishui County, and fought the first battle in Chengcheng County, unveiling a series of riots at the end of the Ming Dynasty.

Even Li Tianyang, a traveler of later generations, did not know that it was from this small riot that finally repeatedly triggered peasant uprisings that affected most of the territory of the Ming Dynasty.

At this time, Li Tianyang and the others were secretly happy, and stepped up urging Qi San to send people to the inland of northern Shaanxi, recruiting those displaced people who could not live to go south to Dayuan Island, and painstakingly digging the corners of the Ming Dynasty.

Qi San has been familiar with helping Hongmen recruit people over the years, and even summed up a lot of routines, anyway, Dayuan Island is said to be a fairyland-like existence, just like the Westerners in the late Qing Dynasty coaxed the people of the Qing Dynasty to go to Nanyang, North America and other places, the recruitment speed of the homeless people has already reached a higher level.

It is also Hongmen that has developed well over the years, and has helped Dayuan Island get rid of the notoriety of being a wild place where miasma is rampant, and who is working hard at sea today does not know the wealth of Hongmen Jilong Port.

Spread around, and the coastal area naturally spread, making the recruitment of Qi San and the others much easier.

Catching up with the current local turmoil in northern Shaanxi, many people in northern Shaanxi either joined the riot team, or were forced to leave their hometowns and move to the rich areas south of the Yangtze River to seek survival, which gave Qi San and others a chance to operate.

As Li Tianyang moved the center of gravity of land reclamation to Da'an Port, the displaced people recruited by Qi San were also transported to this place, and in about half a year, the population of Da'an Port increased by half, with more than 18,000 people, opening up tens of thousands of acres of land for Da'an Port.

Someone in the farm house taught these newcomers how to grow crops from the West, and taught them how to apply seven or eight kinds of manure from the Hongmen team to replenish the fertility of the land.

Soon, the people who migrated from Da'an Port lived and worked in peace and contentment in Da'an Port, and brought vitality to Da'an Port.

At the beginning of the eighth year of the Apocalypse, the news of Wei Zhongxian's ambush came from the distant Jingshi, Li Tianyang was not surprised by this news, the only thing that worried him was whether the team he sent to pick up Shi Yuanya would return safely.

In fact, according to the itinerary, if the "Yang Fan-style" battleship sailed with full sails, at the end of the seventh year of the Apocalypse, Yamamoto Fifty-six and they would have been able to rush back to Jilong Harbor, but Yamamoto and they had another task at the same time as they were responding to Shi Yuanya's father-in-law, so it was normal for Li Tianyang to delay for a while.

In fact, when the court began to impeach Wei Zhongxian, Li Tianyang already knew that this former powerful Wei Jiu,900 years old was already yesterday's yellow flower, and was about to wither.

It's just that what Li Tianyang didn't expect was that Wei Zhongxian's father-in-law fell so quickly in the end, and the collapse of the great eunuch party came so quickly, so that Li Tianyang couldn't help but sigh secretly, he got out in time!

At the end of August of the seventh year of the Apocalypse, Emperor Chongzhen of Ming Sizong succeeded to the throne, and he was very relieved to Wei Zhongxian's father-in-law, and even rewarded the members of the eunuch party in a big way, settling the hearts of Wei Zhongxian and the eunuch party.

In November of the seventh year of the Apocalypse, Jiaxing Gongsheng Qian Jiazheng impeached Wei Zhongxian for ten crimes: one was tied with the emperor, two were contemptuous of the queen, three were manipulating military power, four were no two ancestors, five were knighted by the vassal king, six were no saints, seven were indiscriminately rewarded, eight were covering up the side work, nine were exploiting the people, and ten were traffic joints.

At this time, the little emperor Chongzhen revealed his true colors, called Wei Zhongxian in front of him, and asked him to listen to the internal officials read this recital to him in front of him.

In the same month, the little emperor Chongzhen issued a holy decree to denounce Wei Zhongxian, and sent him to Fengyang to settle down.

Furious in his heart, Emperor Chongzhen withdrew his previous holy decree and sent Jinyi Wei to chase after him day and night, escorting Wei Zhongxian back to Beijing for trial.

At this time, Li Yongzhen, who was still holding a position in the palace, got the news and hurriedly sent someone to inform Wei Zhongxian, and when the news was delivered to Wei Zhongxian's hands, Wei Zhongxian, who had lived in officialdom for a long time, knew that he was in a catastrophe this time.

Before the Jinyi Guard, who had captured him and returned to Beijing, Wei Zhongxian's father-in-law, who had just arrived in Fucheng, and his accomplice Li Chaoqin, drank together at the Keshi Inn in Nanguan, Fucheng, and finally hanged themselves together.

In this way, a generation of heroic characters ended up dying in a foreign land.

But Wei Zhongxian's suicide could not eliminate the anger of the little emperor Chongzhen, after Jinyiwei brought the news of Wei Zhongxian's suicide, Emperor Chongzhen still ordered his body to be dismembered and hung in the Hejian Mansion.

The general direction of history has not changed, but in an unknown place, there has been a little different.
