Chapter 453: St. Helena, His Majesty the Emperor

"Send us to find His Majesty immediately."

Xiong Tingbi said.

The officer waved his hand, and the soldiers behind him immediately rushed forward, holding bayonets one by one to force the sailors.

"This master, do you want to die together? This is the sea but not the Yangtze River."

The boss of the ship said with a confident smile.

Xiong Tingbi pulled the trigger without hesitation, and his dead body fell down amid the gunshots, staring at the sky with his eyes open, as if he didn't understand why.

"Even if you are not afraid of death, your subordinates are afraid of death. A man who only leads dozens of sailors is worthy of playing with Xiong?"

Xiong Tingbi said with a sneer.

Then he turned to the sailors.

"You, as the ship boss, take us to find His Majesty!"

He pointed to one of them who was obviously a little older.

The latter said something in Minnan dialect with horror...

"kill!"

Xiong Tingbi said very simply.

The officer walked over and stabbed him to death and fell into the sea.

At the same time, the soldiers were pressing the bayonets on the chest of the remaining sailors. The latter only showed panic expressions at this time. After all, they relied on this at the sea. Once they were killed, these people who didn't know how to drive the boat could only wait for death, so they dared to play like this. After all, no one would really like the result of death together, but unfortunately they didn't understand that a person who commanded hundreds of thousands of troops would not be scared by their subtle schemes.

"Then it's your turn."

Xiong Tingbi pointed to another and said.

"Big, master, the young one is willing, the young one is willing, the young one is willing. I heard that they want to send His Majesty to Penghu first and then force him to sign a covenant."

The one knelt down and kowtowed.

"who are they?"

Xiong Tingbi said.

"Li, Li Dan, Yu Zigao, and several high-ranking officials from the court. The young one was a ship escort from Nanyang Company. They discussed in Haojing that all the ship escorts and the ship boss went there. They said that they could not do whatever the emperor wanted after he came back. They had to put a bridle on him like a cow, otherwise he would have to collect taxes and confiscate the house like Taizu, not to mention that he had to divide the land, and in the end, no one had a good life.

Just like in previous years, it must be decided by the council and the local genius association.

What's more, when the emperor was offering sacrifices to heaven in Suzhou, he had already said that he would reform, so he had to do what he said when offering sacrifices to heaven in Suzhou."

The man said tremblingly.

"Then Guangdong has really changed its people, and only Guangzhou is an isolated city?"

Xiong Tingbi said.

"The young man only knew that a few local geniuses in Xiangshan wanted to make trouble, and were tied to the government by the people. There was no trouble in Dongguan. It was probably a scam in other places, and Guangzhou was even more peaceful. They just scared the emperor and asked him to take the imperial camp on the sea route. In this way, they would not be afraid of him resisting. At that time, they would throw him in Penghu and distribute the imperial camp to several places where they trade with the barbarians, so that the emperor would no longer be able to use the imperial camp in the future. Without the imperial camp, he would be unable to do anything and could force him to sign an alliance.

The officials and masters in these places in Fuzhou must know, otherwise they would not be able to really hide the emperor. If they want him to know nothing, all the officials and masters would have to work together.

As for other young people, I really don’t know.”

The man said.

"Then this ship will be yours in the future. After saving His Majesty, you will be bound to seal your wife and son. You will immediately turn to stop the ship behind and push out the cannons to prepare for battle. As for you, after saving His Majesty, each of you will reward you with a sea boat. Li Dan can gain wealth on the sea, and you can do the same."

Xiong Tingbi said with satisfaction.

The sailors immediately became energetic and rushed towards the cannon positions.

"It is not that easy to learn from Yang Feng. He doesn't have the ability to be invincible with a 100-pound sword and a 100-pound armor. He wants to fight the world alone? The emperor, the emperor must be recognized by others. Learning from Emperor Taizu Gao is even more desperate. Emperor Taizu Gao is whispered by them. That's because he can't climb out of Xiaoling, and if he comes out, he will only be a monster who will be suppressed."

Xiong Tingbi sighed at the vast sea.

In fact, this is inevitable.

The gentry of Fujian and Guangdong provinces has been so happy in the past few years.

There is no restraint of imperial power and no restrictions on governments, and there is almost no need to pay taxes at all. Local governments can develop as they want, mine if they want to start a mine, run a factory if they want to start a factory, and go to sea if they want to go to sea. It can be said that freedom is like a bird flying with wings spreading.

However……

Everything was destroyed by His Majesty the Emperor.

Let them return to a life dominated by a tyrant who developed into his ancestors?

Oh, they can't breathe anymore.

The landlords could not breathe because the emperor restricted land rent, merchants could not breathe because they had to pay taxes, bureaucrats could not breathe because they had to peel the grass, and even the generals could not breathe because the emperor also strictly prohibited them from eating empty wages. Even the navy was the same. The navy generals wanted to smuggle, eat empty wages, and steal supplies, but these were also strictly prohibited by him. He asked soldiers to shoot and exploit soldiers, which was simply a copy of his ancestors asking soldiers to stab the generals to death with spears.

He has to learn from Zhu Yuanzhang, and he still hopes that the nobles will not cause trouble?

Zhu Yuanzhang's nobles at least all started out from the cold and had some control over many things, but the new generation of nobles he promoted now were all from the big dyeing vat in the past.

It’s hard to go from extravagance to frugality!

Of course, he also has to face the problems that Yang Feng has to face.

but……

Yang Feng can fight!

No one dares to resist Yang Feng!

And he is just a copycat version with a shell!

He was not able to carry a 100-pound sword, and he could kill people, Buddhas, and he could not afford to offend Yang Feng.

His copycat version is nothing!

In the end, the Guangzhou court, Guangdong officials from Fujian, Fujian, Guangdong gentry, navy, and even Nanyang companies controlled by the two aristocratic families. Faced with the tyrant Emperor, these messy forces united to design this maritime turmoil fortress.

All you need is to disarm the emperor and force him to become a puppet again.

Under the intimidation of the soldiers' bayonets, the sailors quickly manipulated the armed merchant ship full of nearly 300 soldiers and turned to the sea. The same merchant ship behind them immediately leaned over. The boss on the deck didn't know what was going on. They didn't notice the gunshots several miles away. Even if they noticed it, it was hard to doubt anything...

People on board are often bored to practice shooting skills.

He stood there and shouted at this side in confusion, but the next moment the hunting gun here shot out bullets.

He fell in chaos behind him...

"The Navy and the Nanyang Company are plotting a rebellion and hijacking the Holy Chariot, and the Imperial Camp will immediately take down all the sailors!"

The officer roared.

The officers of the Imperial Camp who had just run out of the cabin were stunned for a moment, but they obviously knew each other and immediately turned around and greeted them. The sailors ran to get weapons in a mess, but the Imperial Camps in the cabin flocked out, and the number of the two sides was several times different. Just after the officer defeated a sailor, the rest were all kneeling on the deck at the gun of the Imperial Camp...

And at this moment, His Majesty the Emperor had already set foot on his Saint Helena Island.

Uh, Penghu.

"This is how you repay my kindness for your gratitude?"

His Majesty the Emperor stood on the white beach, suppressing his anger and looking at Yu Zigao and others who were saluting.

He never expected that he had just left the tiger's den and fell into the wolf's den again. The navy he had worked hard to build would betray him. He didn't understand that he had done a good job. It can be said that he had learned Yang Feng's knowledge was already well-behaved, but in the end he still had to face betrayal again and again. Why did Yang Feng do it? No matter what he did, he had to face betrayal.

The minister betrayed him.

The local gentry betrayed him.

The army betrayed him.

His life seemed to be in a new betrayal forever.

why is that?

Just as the imperial concubine said, are these bastards bullying honest people?

"Your Majesty, I am just ordered to ask Your Majesty to avoid you here for a while. The Ministry of War has just sent military information. The Spanish are invading Humen. You are in danger when you go back. The court asks Your Majesty to avoid you in Penghu. After you solve the problem, the Spanish will welcome you back to Fengtian again."

Yu Zigao said carefully.

"If you betray me, do you still want to play with me as a fool?"

His Majesty the Emperor shouted.

"Long live, isn't this place good? I like it, look at the blue sea and blue sky, look at the endless beach. We have been running around over the years and are just a few days off here."

The Imperial Concubine said quickly.

It’s now, so don’t put on the airs of the emperor anymore. What if these people kill the lord? This place is really called Tiantian and the earth is not effective. This vast ocean is an isolated island. If someone kills you, it will be nothing more than His Majesty falling into the water. Don’t get upset now. What they say is, and by the way, what the emperor did is indeed sad. It’s better to just lie on the ground and go there casually!

"Your Majesty, I have no malice. I am just following the order of the court. I want to report some things to Your Majesty, but it is not convenient to report to You in Fengtian. Therefore, I ask Your Majesty to rest here temporarily. I guess Mr. Li and several elders from Guanzhengyuan will come tomorrow. At that time, everything will be clear. I am just ordered to send Your Majesty to this point. The matters of the court are not something I can tell. The Empress is right. The scenery here is good and there is no shortage of supply. Your Majesty is resting here, but this place is narrow and cannot accommodate tens of thousands of imperial camps, so the imperial camp is suspended elsewhere."

Yu Zigao said quickly.

"Your father is here to fight against the Japanese, and you are here to imprison the emperor, so you are worthy of your father."

Wanli sneered.

Yu Zigao didn't dare to continue talking to him. Why did he talk so much about it at this time? Anyway, the negotiations came soon, so he lowered his head and walked straight away.

His Majesty the Emperor let out a long roar, and the local people around him all looked at him curiously...

"I am the emperor, you and others!"

His Majesty the Emperor roared.

The people were smiling happily, as if they were watching a fool.
