Chapter 1024 Good news from America
Seeking to live in death!
The Zhao family father and son have a strong desire to survive, so they naturally will not commit such suicide.
They will not give up hope of living until the last moment.
Even if this hope is only small.
So what if you live in the world? Even ants are greedy for life, let alone people.
But as Zhao Fengnian expected, not long after, the official army arrived and arrested them without saying anything.
"Let us go, let go! How can you trek into a private house? Do you still have the king's laws in your eyes?"
Zhao Fengnian pretended to be indignant and made a severe protest.
Zhao Lunchang also followed suit, as if they were the father and son.
When Wang Henian saw this scene, he only found it funny.
These two fathers and sons can really act.
The spies from the Jinyiwei have been following their father and son for a long time, and now it is just the time to close the net.
The Jinyiwei needs someone to have evidence and physical evidence. He wants to see when this pair of live treasures can be stubborn.
Wang Henian sneered and said, "The Jinyiwei handled the case. Someone reported that your father and son had an affair with Japanese pirates. As a result, you should follow us back for interrogation."
Zhao Fengnian looked extremely surprised and shook his head and said, "Tong the Japanese? It's really a big mistake. Our father and son are the most honest and dedicated businessmen in the local area. How could he collude with the Japanese pirates? Someone reported it? This must be framed by someone, and this must be someone who slanders!"
I have to say that Zhao Fengnian's acting skills are still very good, but compared to his son, he seems a little worse.
From beginning to end, Zhao Lunchang's face turned pale and his body kept shaking. There was no problem using sieve crumbs to describe it.
To this day, his psychological defense has almost been defeated by the Jinyiwei. I really don’t know how long he can last if this continues.
Wang Henianhe did not intend to talk nonsense with the father and son, and waved his hand and ordered it to be taken away directly.
Don’t say that he already has conclusive evidence in his hands now, so what if there is no evidence? Is it difficult to get evidence with the means of the Jinyiwei?
After entering the prison of the Jinyiwei, even dead people can make them speak.
...
...
In the palace, the emperor Zhu Youlang looked calmly at Wang Henian and Zheng Jing not far away.
After a while, Zhu Youlang said in a deep voice: "Last night, the two Qing families performed very well, and I feel very relieved. This Japanese pirates' surprise attack was definitely not decided by the Japanese pirates' hearts and slapped their heads, but was carefully planned by someone. The mastermind behind the scenes is likely to be the Zhao family. Wang Qing, can they confess?"
Seeing that the emperor was calling himself, Wang Henian quickly stood up and said halfway: "Your Majesty, the Zhao family's father and son have been imprisoned in prison, but they are stubborn and have not spoken yet."
Zhu Youlang nodded slightly and said, "It is normal for them not to speak easily. But I don't plan to wait too long, because I have to dig out more Japanese merchants and officials from their mouths."
If Zhu Youlang wants to take this opportunity to completely eliminate the Japanese stricken population, he will naturally not focus on the Zhao family’s father and son. In that case, the situation would be a bit too small.
"Your Majesty, please rest assured. I will get useful information from the two of you as soon as possible."
Wang Henian patted his chest and promised confidently.
"The soldiers who died must pay the pension to their families in time, and the injured soldiers must also be treated in time. Never let the soldiers feel cold."
This was said to both the Jinyiwei and the Huben Army and the Quanzhou Navy.
Zheng Jing hugged his fists tightly and said, "Your Majesty, please rest assured. I will never treat a soldier unfairly, nor will I feel disappointed by any soldier."
Nowadays, the Ming army has won a great victory, and the next thing to do is to handle the rewards of the soldiers.
Any merits will be rewarded, and any mistakes will be punished.
This is the creed believed by Ming Jun.
"In addition, this is a report sent by King Zhong from America, so you can also take a look."
Zhu Youlang submitted a memorial to Zheng Jing.
Zheng Jing trembled and opened it carefully to read it.
Usually, my father would send him home letters, but the frequency of letters has been significantly reduced recently.
This is also a normal thing, because Zheng Chenggong led a large army outside, which inevitably aroused suspicion from the court.
In order to make His Majesty sleep more peacefully, Zheng Chenggong has always reported the situation in America to the court in a timely manner as soon as possible, and the court will also have a general understanding of the specific situation.
And if Zheng Chenggong wrote a letter to Zheng Jing first, it would inevitably make people think a lot.
In this case, even if His Majesty the Emperor doesn't say it, he will inevitably feel grudges in his heart.
If this continues, the best relationship between the monarch and the minister will change.
It can be said that Zheng Chenggong has achieved the ultimate goal in being a minister and has tried not to give the censor the opportunity to attack him.
But even so, the censors still rushed over like flies without hesitation, cursing at the Zheng family, saying that the Zheng family was extremely arrogant and looked down on the court.
Of course, this situation is not unique to the Zheng family.
Li Dingguo also faced the same problem. Generals like Li Laiheng, Yuan Zongdi, and Liu Tichun faced more or less the same problem.
This is understandable. These people have one common characteristic, that is, they are not the direct lineage of His Majesty the Emperor.
So they have to be better off themselves and not be able to catch a reason to attack them.
"Your Majesty, the Spanish decided to rule America with the Ming Dynasty?"
After hearing this news, Zheng Jingzhi was so shocked that he was extremely shocked.
He really didn't expect that the Spanish king would agree to this request.
You know, the Spaniards have incorporated the entire American continent into their territory.
Spit out half of the fat meat you get, this is not an easy decision.
"I didn't expect it."
Zhu Youlang sighed: "The current situation is really beyond my expectations. It seems that the Spaniards are still afraid of the strength of our Ming Dynasty."
Zhu Youlang was more or less relieved when he said this.
Even in history, the Ming Dynasty did the most about the maritime industry, which was Zheng He's voyage to the West.
Zheng He has never been to the Americas.
And now Zheng Chenggong has done what Zheng He has not done.
Moreover, both of them were surnamed Zheng. Although they had no blood relationship at all, they had to say that they had their own will.
Since the Spanish were willing to rule America with the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Youlang certainly would not refuse.
The American continent is rich in resources, and there is no need to say that gold and silver ores are rich in other minerals.
Many of these mineral resources are essential materials for the industrial revolution.
Not to mention that there are some high-yield crops that can be introduced in time to improve the agricultural civilization of the Ming Dynasty.
