Chapter 823 King Gui leads "famous ministers", this place of virtue!

Author: Linglinghou

America.

Seattle, East Port (Port Angeles).

At this time, the left-behind personnel of the Ming Dynasty in Seattle had already established an immigration base in the location of Seattle city in another time and space, and made more than a dozen native tribes around them become vassals of the immigration base.

Due to its superior geographical location, Donglai Port still operated the Ming army, as the first stop for the Ming immigrant fleet to land in the Americas.

On June 12, the 9th year of Zhaowu, the immigrant ships of the four kings were moored here, as did the First Fleet of the Oriental Navy and the Immigrant Fleet of the Court.

Seattle is an immigration base scheduled by the Ming Dynasty court, so this time the Ming Dynasty court organized 30,000 people to explore Seattle.

At this time, some immigrants were arranged by the officials to land in Donglaigang and first worked in Donglaigang.

The four vassal kings also landed and were preparing to rest here for a few days.

The next day, Zhu Cijiong, Zhu Cixue and Zhu Pinggui bid farewell to Zhu Youlang at the port.

Because Zhu Youlang's landing point was Vancouver in another time and space, his fleet needed to leave the large army in the East Port and cross the bay to head north.

Zhu Youlang was born in the third year of Tianqi (1623) in the King of Gui Mansion in Beijing. He is 30 years old this year and is in his prime.

Although he was going to separate from the immigration forces at this time, he did not have much sorrow of parting. Instead, he was full of ambitions and was ready to fight a big King of Gui in the north of Seattle.

However, Zhu Cijiong and Zhu Youlang had been together for many years and came to America together across the ocean. Thinking of being separated at this time, I was a little reluctant to part.

Zhu Cijiong toasted a glass of wine and said, "Uncle Gui, the natives in the north should not be worried about it, but the severe cold has to be guarded against. After Uncle Gui left, he should make the warmth of individuals and immigrants the first priority."

Zhu Youlang nodded with a smile, "Don't worry, I know this."

Zhu Cizhao said: "We all landed on the west coast, with ports and fleets. When we settle down in the future, Uncle Gui can send a fleet south to communicate with us and communicate with us."

"Of course."

Zhu Pinggui, the King of Shu, is also very young, only 22 years old this year.

He also toasted Zhu Youlang with a glass of wine and said, "I wish King Gui a good trip and a great success!"

"Thank you, King Shu, Jiyan!"

After saying goodbye, Zhu Youlang took the immigrant fleet led by King Gui and his two warships to the north.

The landing point of King Gui (Vancouver) is not far from Donglai Port. At the speed of King Gui leading the immigrant fleet, he arrived before dark.

Because it was getting late, the men led by King Gui did not land, but greeted the Ming army at the landing site on the shore first.

Previously, after the American Ocean Fleet established a landing point here, only one soldier was sent to stay. The Seattle Immigration Base would send a soldier to replace him every month, that is, each soldier would need to take charge of the landing point here for two months.

.

The next day, it was a little dawn, and Zhu Youlang got up under the service of his concubine and two maids, came to the deck and took out a binoculars to look at the landing site.

I saw that the terrain was flat and the rivers were crisscrossed, but it was surrounded by mountains on the east, south and north. Among them, the longest and highest mountain range (Roycereals) to the east.

In addition, Zhu Youlang discovered last night that it is hot summer now, but from last night to now, it is quite cool here, and the temperature is similar to that in spring.

‘It seems that I won’t have to endure the summer here in the future, I’m afraid that winter will be colder than Beijing in the Ming Dynasty.’

Then, his eyes fell on the dense forest composed of tall trees around him, as well as several simple wooden houses built by the Ming army at the landing site, and he couldn't help but feel a long way to go.

The situation is very obvious now. He really wants to build Gui Wangling from scratch.

When Zhu Youlang got off the second deck of the boat, the right chief Wang Yinghua came up and said, "It's so early for the king to get up."

"When Gu lived in a vassal school in the past, he got up so early every day, which was nothing. Moreover, today is the day when he landed in the king of Gui, so how could Gu sleep?"

"The king is so diligent, King Gui will definitely develop rapidly." Wang Yinghua first praised, then pointed to the east and said, "This place is a plain surrounded by mountains and facing the sea. It is a place of beauty. I think the king is worse than to let him go. The royal city is built here.”

When Zhu Youlang heard that Wang Yinghua claimed to be a minister, he was overjoyed.

Because the left and right chiefs are generally registered by incumbent or in opposition officials, and then selected and appointed by the court. Therefore, the chiefs and descendants of the royal palace will only claim to be subordinates when facing the vassal kings, which mostly means that they will return in the future.

Go to the Ming Dynasty.

But if a certain chief minister hopes to stay in the king's leadership for a long time and his descendants are also officials in the king's leadership, then he will regard the king as the main one and become a minister in his title.

Wang Yinghua was said to be a young talent at that time. He was eighteen years old in the 46th year of Wanli. Although he failed the exam many times, he finally became a Jinshi in the first year of Chongzhen.

Later, during the Chongzhen period, he served as a professor of martial arts, director of the Ministry of Rites, and finally served as deputy envoy of Fujian Censor.

It is logically impossible for such a high-ranking official to come to overseas vassal kings to be the chief minister.

However, Wang Yinghua made a mistake when the emperor carried out the reform of the field politics, lost his official position, and almost gave up his family.

This time, at the suggestion of a friend, I signed up to become the leader of the King of Gui, so I immigrated to America with my whole family and young, and obviously I was not going to go back to the Ming Dynasty.

Speaking of which, Wang Huacheng, the left chief of the King of Gui, had an extraordinary resume and was appointed as the Guangdong inspector during the Chongzhen period.

However, this person was recruited by the current official, so he was still above Wang Yinghua's prestige and was appointed as the Left Chief Secretary.

As for the personal soldiers of King Gui, it is even more famous. It is Mou Wenshou, who rose to the position of general in the battle against She Chongming during the Tianqi period and became the general in the Chongzhen period!

This is 59 years old this year, and he also took Zhu Youlang across the ocean to America with his whole family.

The reason for doing this is because I feel that I can't make it through the Ming Dynasty and even affect my future career.

Although Mou Wenshou became the general during the Chongzhen period, he was punished for being demoted for his unfavorable suppression of bandits.

And during the Hongguang Dynasty, there were also deeds of looting merchant ships on the Yangtze River to raise funds.

After Zhu Mai ascended the throne, he rectified the old official army and dismissed Mou Wenshou directly. It was only because he had some military achievements in the past that he did not pursue the crimes he committed in the past.

When Mou Wenshou was not dismissed from office, he had contact with Zhu Youlang's father, and he also knew Zhu Youlang.

When he learned that Zhu Youlang wanted to take up the Americas, he felt that he could not survive in the Ming Dynasty, so he joined his family.

Zhu Youlang asked Zhu Cijiong about this matter. When Zhu Cijiong said that Zhu Mai didn't care, he dared to take Mou Wenshou in and let him be the commander of the personal army.

Because no matter what, Mou Wenshou was a general who once served as the general and made some military achievements back then.

Although he is old and has a good experience in military service, he is still getting stronger and stronger. Such a veteran commander of his total number of 800 people is considered to be a waste of talent.

However, Zhu Youlang felt that as long as he formed an army with a larger number of troops as soon as possible under the leadership of King Gui, Mou Wenshou would be of great use...

Zhu Youlang also felt that the place in front of him was very good. After hearing Wang Yinghua's words, he couldn't help but nodded with a smile, "This place is indeed suitable for building a royal city."

Wang Yinghua immediately said tactfully: "I'll ask the king to name the royal city!"

Zhu Youlang pondered for a moment and said, "Since Gu is the King of Gui of the Ming Dynasty, please call him Guicheng."

At this time, the left chief Wang Huacheng also rushed over and said, "King, all the ships are ready, please order the king to land!"

Zhu Youlang nodded, "Then start logging in."

Although the personal army led by King Gui was only 800, there were as many as 10,000 immigrants. However, there was nothing at the login site, so the immigrants would not all land on the shore. There was no house on the shore, so it would be better to live on the boat temporarily.

.

However, in order to start the port trek as soon as possible, most of the strong laborers were organized to land, and it took half a day to build the temporary wooden house.

When it was ten days late, Mou Wenshou came to find Zhu Youlang and said excitedly: "King, according to the explanation of the Dongyang Navy Chief stationed here, there are more than ten tribes in the forest to the east, some of which have built villages. Obviously

They are civilized natives!”
