Chapter 63: The Dukes of the Four Kingdoms (Part 1)

In order to facilitate the narration of the following story, let us first introduce some of the more powerful figures in the Ming Empire.

The first one is of course Zhu Xiluo, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty. We have already introduced his life above, so I won’t say more.

Since Zhu Xiluo had no brothers or sisters, naturally there was no prince or anything like that. Then there were the four great princes who followed Zhu Xiluo to conquer the world.

Ranked in no particular order.

The first one is Min Guogong Wang Shouyi, well, he has the same name as the man who sells thirteen incense. Wang Shouyi is a boat boss who makes a living on the coast of Fujian. Because he is smart and happy, he quickly wins over some brothers. You know, it was smooth at that time.

North Korea is also closed to the country, and no one is allowed to go to the sea. To make a living at sea, it is with your head stuck in your belt. Not only is it strictly investigated by the government, but it is also plundered by pirates. If you don't have a few brushes, it is very likely that you will be killed.

He was buried in the sea, but not only did Wang Shouyi survive, but his power gradually grew stronger. Within a few years, he became the largest force in the coastal area, with dozens of large and small ships, tens of thousands of people under his command, and already had connections with the government.

In order to gain the confidence to challenge, in his most glorious period, Wang Shouyi once drove several broken ships to the offshore position of the Japanese country and fired a few cannons for a long time. However, no one of the big names of the Japanese country came out to challenge. In the end, Wang Shouyi robbed the coastal areas and left behind.

After getting off Wang Shouyi's Mo Bao, who was here for a visit, he walked away.

There was a man who had a boat and a lot of money, and the government tried its best to win over him, turning a blind eye and acquiescing to Wang Shouyi's unauthorized going to sea.

But Wang Shouyi is a man with ambitions. He saw the scarred Shun Dynasty and the poor people who were hungry, but the people in power were still in the gentle countryside, drunk and dreaming, and never cared about the lives of the people. In the court,

Those officials who were serving as corpses were just sitting there and doing nothing to govern their affairs. Heaven and earth are unkind and treat all living things like dwee dogs. The saints are unkind and treat the people as dwee dogs. They really treat the people under their rule as beasts and kill them at will. You see.

Wang Shouyi wanted to change the world. If he was poor, he would be alone, and if he was prosperous, he would be connected to the world. Now that there are people with money, he naturally wants to do something for the people of the world. He took in a large number of refugees, gave money and porridge, and was ready to rise up at any time.

Overthrowing the tyrannical rule and allowing the people of the world to escape the sea of ​​suffering. Finally one day he met a person, Zhu Xiluo. At that time, Zhu Xiluo only had a thousand people under his command, so he launched the slogan of doing justice for heaven. Wang Shouyi did not hesitate at all.

, took his own people and the wealth he had accumulated over the years to defect to Zhu Xiluo. He did not want to occupy the position of the boss just because he had more people than Zhu Xiluo and had more money than Zhu Xiluo, but continued to serve him.

Zhu Xiluo is the master, everything is like a floating cloud. Wang Shouyi simply wants to do something for the people of the world, nothing more.

The second British male, Zhang Luzi, according to rumors in the world, Zhang Yuzi’s ancestor is Zhang Yu who followed Zhu Di in Jingnan, and his body also has the blood of noble and fierce generals. As the name suggests, Zhang Luzi’s temper is like that of a donkey.

He is a fiery and stubborn person who will draw a knife if he disagrees with him.

Although Zhang Luzi may be a descendant of Zhang Yu, it happened a long time ago, and it was not easy to do in the Shun Dynasty. Zhang Luzi, who has been without parents since he was a child, has no choice but to buy himself out in order to survive.

He was herding cattle for the landlord's family. Well, it was very similar to Lao Zhu's experience. Zhang Donzi had been herding cattle for nearly ten years. The number of cattle at that time had grown from one to more than fifty now, and the landlord's cattle also came.

The more, the more, but his situation has not changed at all. Zhang Luzi does not have as good a fate as the Cowherd, so he meets the Weaver Girl to solve his single problem. I wonder if Zhang Luzi has heard of the saying that the generals in the world will rather have their own species.

In short, he is very dissatisfied with the current situation. If this continues, Zhang Donkey will still herd cattle for the landlord's family until he gets old and dies, and then there will be no more. After all, no girl from any family will marry a

A slave who herds cattle for the landlord's family.

But Zhang Luzi is not a person who is content with his duties. All landlords in the world are the same. They want to pay the least benefit and gain the greatest wealth. The crows in the world are as black as the landlords in the world. Finally Zhang Luzi couldn't bear it anymore.

After living there, he found his employer, and he asked his employer to pay him a salary. Well, you are right. Zhang Luzi worked for the landlord for ten years without any salary. He only had two meals a day, and he didn't even bother to eat.

When the landlord heard this, he was very happy. Someone actually tried to blackmail him. He belonged to Pixiu and could only get in and out. The landlord's attitude towards Zhang Luzi was not very good. Of course, it was necessary to scold his father and his mother. Everyone

There are endless kinds of dirty words. The main meaning is that it is impossible to get a salary. It has not existed before and will never happen in the future. The sea can dry up, the rocks can rot, the sky can collapse, the earth can crack, and wages are not acceptable.

Yes, go ahead and do what you have to do. The time you waste now will also be deducted from your rations.

Zhang Luzi was furious when he heard this. He worked hard and worked hard as cows and horses for you. None of the cows under his control died of illness or got lost. The number also increased year by year. He created countless wealth for your family. Today is just

I just wanted some wages, but I never thought that the landlord was a tough guy.

Zhang Luzi picked up a wood-cutting machete next to him, pointed at the landlord's nose and said, wages must be paid today, and wages must be paid in the future. Not only that, but also five insurances and one housing fund, weekends, and every major holiday.

You also need to rest, and if you work overtime, you must get double your salary. You need to pay for heatstroke prevention in summer, and you need to pay for heating in winter. You need three meals a day, and you must have meat dishes every three days.

Looking at the machete, the landowner was unmoved. He has such a big family business. Getting rich through hard work is just a joke played by God on the world. The landowner is not a good person. Fighting, killing, and doing all kinds of evil are also necessary skills.

, the number of lives under his command was not a hundred, but fifty. In the era of war and chaos, human lives were like grass and grass. Even if a few dozen people died, the government would not care. Faced with Zhang Luzi, the landlord was not afraid at all, which perfectly explained

Why is Taishan collapsing in front but not changing its color, and the elk rising to the left but not blinking? Pointing at Zhang Donkey is just cursing, and the general meaning is similar, that is, having some super friendship with all the women of your Zhang family.

There is no connection or salary, so of course there is no need to think about the benefits.

Zhang Luzi was so angry that he chopped off half of the landlord's head with a machete. According to Zhang Luzi's recollection, the landlord had his eyes open and his mouth wide open when he died, looking like he would never believe it.

Since the landlord had died in his own hands, Zhang Luzi just kept going and killed every one of the landlord's family members. There was no good person in the landlord's family, and there were even a few maids that the landlord's wife beat to death.

He bought the maids around him to Africa to be wives for others, and this was especially true for his sons. He could count the number of good-natured women who were driven to death and crazy by hand. Even more ridiculous things were done with the townspeople.

Several dandies met to see who could win more girls in a month. The gambling capital was 10,000 taels. Without any accidents, the landlord's son won with overwhelming momentum. His score was more than 1,000 taels.

There were seven or eight-year-old girls, nuns from the monastery, and prospective daughters-in-law who were getting married. His record was kept until the day he was killed, and he was probably not as good as the son of a landlord.

People were also killed, and the houses were burned down. In order not to be found by the government, Zhang Luzi took the dozen cows and fled outside the pass. That area belonged to the Mongolian sphere of influence, and the Shun Dynasty government did not dare to cross the border.

Step one. When Zhang Luzi left, he didn’t take any money from the landlord’s family. You have to be principled. These dozens of cows are your wages. Taking too much will be useless. And Zhang Luzi relies on these dozen cows.

, established a foothold on the grassland, because Zhang Luzi was righteous and dared to fight. Soon many Han people living on the grassland came to seek refuge. Zhang Luzi's power became stronger and stronger, and Zhang Luzi's courage also increased.

Not a little, he actually led people to rob the Mongolian Khan, and kidnapped the Khan's son for ransom. How could the Mongolian Khan be willing, so he sent troops to conquer, but the combat effectiveness of the Mongolian cavalry was not as good as before, and the result was a huge defeat.

After returning home, he had no choice but to pay a ransom to redeem his precious son. Suddenly, Zhang Luzi became famous, and more and more people took refuge in him. If he wanted to survive in a strange environment, he could only join a group to keep warm.

Zhang Luzi is also a man with great revenge. His goal is to be the leader of the grassland. No one expected that Zhang Luzi’s wish, which he had been suffering for most of his life, would come true. And what makes Zhang Luzi the most happy is that he actually married

When he got his daughter-in-law, he married the most beautiful woman in the grassland. She later became the British Duke-in-law, a woman who has not aged for a hundred years. Zhang Luzi became the overlord of the grassland. As he said, the Mongolian cavalry did not dare to do anything to him, so he followed the government

He even dared not ignore his edge. Zhang Luzi lived a very carefree life. It was completely by chance that he joined Zhu Xiluo's camp. He lost in a game of cards. The Mongolian grassland is not like the Central Plains. There are some entertainment facilities. As far as the eye can see, a tribe follows.

The other tribe might be just a few kilometers away, so there would be no entertainment facilities, so Zhang Luzi fell in love with playing cards. According to a later gambling king, the card game of Landlords was also played by Zhang Luzi based on his own experience of Landlords.

And came up with a gambling game.

Because of Zhang Luzi's status, he won every bet, and his heart gradually expanded. When Zhu Xiluo found Zhang Luzi and asked him to work with him, Zhang Luzi refused. He now has tens of thousands of soldiers and horses.

, if you want money, you want horses, you want cows, why should you have to do that life of licking blood with others? It’s quite dangerous. But Zhang Luzi, as a man in the world, still gave Zhu Xiluo a chance.

, that is, playing cards. If Zhu Xiluo can win, he will play with him. Zhang Luzi completely overestimates his gambling skills. The two of them bet in a dark way. From the beginning of the game, the winner or loser is determined, and later on

Two wins out of three games, three out of five games, ninety-one out of one hundred and eighty games, well, the loser has always been Zhang Luzi. Zhang Luzi never expected that his grassland gambling god would lose to an unknown person in the gambling world.

However, Zhang Luzi is also a man of his word. He is willing to admit defeat, so he follows Zhu Xiluo. Fortunately, he is lucky and does not follow the wrong person. The Ming Empire is established and he becomes one of the four great princes.
