The strongest, the fastest update of the latest chapter of the rise of the Ming Dynasty 1646!

Ovat was well aware of John's relationship with Governor Marszk, and that the spy had to be rescued, otherwise it would be even more difficult for him to get the Dordrecht to be transferred.

"Ransom?" He rubbed his forehead wearily and asked the assistant, "How much do they want?" ”

"Priest John asked for 30,000 taels of silver, his lieutenant Van Biya and others each 10,000 taels, and the others ranged from 3,000 to 5,000 taels......

Haimer glanced at the Supreme Executive and said carefully, "It's a total of 154,000 taels of ransom." ”

"These greedy guys!" Ovat slammed it on the table, nearly knocking the inkwell over, "They might as well come and rob it!" 150,000 taels, that is, nearly 600,000 guilders, where did I get so much money for them?! ”

"I also told the official, surnamed Huang, that the amount was too much," Mr. Hemmer said hurriedly, "and later he said that he could use the timber to cover the money......

"600,000 guilders of wood?" Groot continued, "Even if all the labor of the senior staff is used, I am afraid that the trees cut down for half a year will not be really much. ”

"The Ming people also said that they could send people to Dongfan to cut down trees themselves......"

Bess immediately objected vigilantly, "How can this work?" The arrival of a large number of Ming people on the island will definitely seriously threaten the safety of the adults. ”

"They only send transport ships and promise not to carry any weapons," says Hemer, "and the range of activities is limited to the logging areas we have designated." ”

All kinds of teak and elm trees on the island of Taiwan are all over the mountains and are not worth much, and if the Ming people cut them down by themselves, it is almost equivalent to the fact that the big man does not have to pay anything. Owat was anxious to "fish for people" to come back, and looked at Beth when he heard the words, "General, I think this condition is acceptable, and you will have to worry more about security." ”

Beth nodded and said, "I'll arrange for as many patrol boats as possible to keep an eye on them." ”

So, Zhu Linmiao used more than a dozen worthless spies to drive the first wedge into the island of Taiwan. Of course, for a period of time after that, the "logging team" also sent a large number of high-quality timber to Daming Shipyard.

……

The sky near Nanjing's Purple Mountain was overcast, and it seemed that rain could fall at any moment.

But there are still tens of thousands of people accompanied by the melodious sound of bells and drums, far away on both sides of the Son of Heaven guard of honor in the tomb, and constantly look at the canopy - it is said that if you can see the true dragon Son of Heaven is stained with auspiciousness, you may be rich and noble in the future, and if you can see His Royal Highness the Auxiliary King, you can be blessed by Erlang Xiansheng Zhenjun, and all diseases will not invade and prolong life.

In the ranks of hundreds of courtiers who walked around, Huang Jingfang, the servant of the ministry, shrank in an inconspicuous corner, lowered his voice, and said to the person beside him very eagerly: "Lord Meng, the officials in the imperial camp have helped you find it, and the palace maids and officials next to the Queen Mother have also bought it, and even the baby and the nurse are ......."

His eyes swept around vigilantly, and then he continued: "When did you pick up the saint and leave the palace, how did you get out of the city, and how did you go south?" I'm just afraid that the night will be long and dreamy, and I will drag it out again......"

Meng Zhengfa was also depressed, but he didn't expect that the Min Party was excited when he heard about his plan to "welcome the Son of Heaven back to Tianxing Mansion", and he made a lot of efforts before and after - he said that the child and woman they sent the day before yesterday were eight points similar to the little emperor and his nurse.

However, he originally thought that with the help of the eunuchs in the palace, it should be quite easy to take the Son of Heaven out of the palace, but he didn't expect that the Empress Dowager Zeng would almost never leave her son. Later, Huang Jingfang contacted several imperial officers and palace maids to help, but he still didn't have a chance to start.

He smiled awkwardly at Huang Shilang, "Don't worry, the palace will definitely be busy for a while after the big festival, and you will definitely find an opportunity when the time comes." As for going out of the city...... "The things about going out of the city were all arranged by the surnamed Ku, and he himself didn't know the details, so he had to say vaguely, "It has been arranged a long time ago, and there will never be a mistake." ”

"Then how is the Holy Driver going to Fujing?" Huang Jingfang didn't give up, "The lower officials don't give everyone a secret, I'm afraid that the 'military heart' will be unstable." ”

Meng Zheng said that Fujing, who was going to be a fart, would immediately get on the boat and march along Wuchang when the Son of Heaven left Nanjing City. He pretended to be mysterious and said: "There are many people, but it is inconvenient to talk about specific matters, Lord Huang just needs to rest assured that it is ......."

As the two were talking, they heard someone from the etiquette department at the front of the team shouting loudly: "Stop-a hundred officials worship from afar-"

All the courtiers were busy reorganizing the whole team, and knelt down in unison, first looking at the filial piety tomb and worshipping. Tens of thousands of people near and far also knelt on the ground and bowed together. After more than a year of invasion, Nanjing fell, at this time Xiaoling finally returned to the Ming Dynasty, this first big sacrifice announced that the Ming Dynasty has not ended, the mountains and rivers are expected to recover, thousands of Ming people are excited to tears.

At this time, Huang and Meng were surrounded by officials and guards, and they were busy shutting up and didn't dare to say more.

After the guard of honor passed the dismount, they regrouped together. It's just that Huang Jingfang was excitedly looking forward to the "new atmosphere of the DPRK and China" after the Son of Heaven returned to Fujian and the Queen Mother lowered the curtain, but he couldn't help sneering in his heart.

After a grand and complicated ceremony, the mausoleum entered the core link - worship and recitation.

Empress Dowager Zeng hugged the little emperor in the front, and Zhu Linmiao walked beside her. The clan lords followed closely, and nearly a hundred important ministers lined up in two columns, and the officials could only fall behind. In addition, a large number of eunuchs and palace maids accompanied them with ritual vessels and sacrifices. The huge team of Lingling entered the civil and military gate in such a mighty way.

Then Zhu Linmiao began to take the lead in crying, and other clansmen and courtiers also cried and hung together.

This is also the proper meaning of the title of the sacrificial tomb, which belongs to one of the sacrificial rites. However, in such a magnificent and spectacular worship scene, he couldn't help but feel the stormy fate of the Ming Dynasty in his heart, as well as the suffocating tragic ending of his previous life, but he didn't need to fake it, tears burst out of his eyes.

Under the guidance of the Minister of Rites, the Queen Mother and Zhu Linmiao bypassed the side of the West Side Hall and came to the front of the Ming Tower through the Inner Red Gate. The other clans and courtiers stood neatly outside the door according to their ranks, and they stopped crying one after another, looking at the auxiliary king to worship on behalf of the Son of Heaven.

There is a stone tablet of the emperor's temple in the middle of the Ming building, and under it is Zhu Yuanzhang's spiritual bed.

The priest laid the cotton mat in front of the hall, and the Empress Dowager Zeng knelt in the center with Zhu Linyuan in her arms. Zhu Linmiao knelt next to him on the left side, and the first little emperor bowed three times and bowed nine times, and then both of them stood up, and the sound of ritual music gradually subsided.

Zhu Linmiao then waved his hands and read aloud the memorial text that he had already memorized, "My ancestor is hehe, the merit is sacred, the virtue is spread all over the world, and the merit is Zhaoyuhuan......

"The greed of the early Yuan government, the white bones left on the road, the hardships of the ancestors mourning the people, and the ...... of the mandate of heaven to cut down" is still written by Longwu back then.

As his voice spread in the filial piety tomb, suddenly a loud cry of great disharmony came from beside him.

"Wow-"
