Standing in front of Ding Yunyi was Paula Wockadek, who was about forty years old. She seemed to have a sincere attitude, but her eyes kept looking around.
Ding Yunyi's face was red from drinking and he smelled of alcohol. He seemed to be unable to sit still as he sat there: "Why are you looking for a boss?"
Wokadek didn't expect that the Penghu boss he saw would be like this.
I had been waiting outside for more than half an hour. I thought Ding Yunyi was doing some important business inside, but who would have thought that he was hiding inside drinking.
Holding back the unhappiness: "Mr. Hans Putmans, Governor of the Republic of the Netherlands in Taiwan, was very happy when he heard that Mr. Ding had killed the pirate Oniomaru. This would make future sea transportation much easier. In order to express his gratitude,
To express our gratitude, we sent a batch of gifts."
When he heard the word "gift", Ding Yunyi's eyes lit up and he urged repeatedly: "What gift? Bring me the boss quickly."
They are all Taiwan's specialties, sugar, deerskin, etc. Ding Yunyi couldn't help but feel disappointed in his tone: "Is this all there is? Could it be that this...isn't there anything else?"
The intention of asking for bribes was very obvious in his words, so Wockadek quietly breathed a sigh of relief and took out a small bag: "There are fifty gold coins here, which are a personal gift from Governor Putmans to you."
Ding Yunyi took it, opened it, looked "greedy" on his face, and carefully hid the pocket: "I appreciate the good intentions of the governor of Pu... But what should I do?
The general manager? Just say it."
"We came here intentionally to make friends." A look of disdain swept across Wokadek's face: "In the future, I hope there will be more exchanges between Taiwan and Penghu. At the same time, we also hope that our merchant ships will not encounter difficulties when passing through Penghu.
, they are all the most serious businessmen."
"Okay, okay." Ding Yunyi said repeatedly: "Your Governor Pu is my best friend, and the rights of you serious businessmen will be defended with your life. Go back and tell your Governor Pu,
Just stay in Taiwan with peace of mind and do his business with peace of mind."
Wokadek felt relieved, thanked him again and left.
As soon as he left, Ding Yunyi's face darkened, and he was no longer drunk.
Zhu Yuqian came out from behind, first sighed, and then smiled: "Ding Bao always puts on a good show. First, slow down Hong Yi's heart and make him lose his guard. Hong Yi will think that Ding Bao is just a brave man.
The husband is rude, arrogant, and greedy. If we are no longer wary of General Ding, once we have to take action in the future, General Ding will have the upper hand."
"How can I, a small boss, expect so much?" Ding Yunyi laughed a few times, took out the bag containing gold coins and handed it to Zhu Yuqian: "Sir, if you have a way to bring the Taiwan matter to the Holy See,
Please present this bag of gold coins together, so others can’t accuse me, Ding Yunyi, of being corrupt or accepting bribes."
Zhu Yuqian was not polite and kept his money bag.
Just as he was about to speak, Hong Tiaoyuan's voice suddenly came all the way: "Today there are so many fish, there are only a few of them. I said no missionaries should be allowed to come, but you still don't listen, not only are there no fish left,"
...Qin Jieyuan said that a guest is coming, where is the guest? Where is he?"
As he spoke, he lowered his head and walked in, still muttering. When he looked up, he saw Ding Yunyi standing with someone, and he was startled.
When he saw this person's face, Hong Tiaoyuan's expression suddenly changed. He shook his body, then took a closer look in disbelief, and fell to his knees with a "plop":
"Penghu garrison Hong Tiaoyuan comes to see the prince! The prince is a thousand years old!"
Prince?
Ding Yunyi was stunned. He had guessed that this Zhu Yuqian had a great background and might be a high-ranking official of the imperial court, but who would have thought that this person turned out to be a prince?
But how could Hong Tiaoyuan, a small official who was as big as sesame seeds and mung beans, recognize a prince?
"Hong Tiaoyuan, get up." Zhu Yuqian sat down carelessly: "I haven't seen you in a few years, you are getting older."
Hong Tiaoyuan stood up cautiously: "Penghu is bitterly cold, so naturally I am getting older. The prince's style is still the same, Hong Tiaoyuan..."
"I am no longer a prince, I was deposed as a commoner by the imperial court." Zhu Yuqian said without caring: "Don't call me prince again in the future."
"Who...are you?" Ding Yunyi no longer knew how to address the person in front of him.
Hong Tiaoyuan quickly said: "Xiang Wen, this is His Royal Highness the current Tang Dynasty King Ding!"
King Ding of the Tang Dynasty? Zhu Yuqian?
Ding Yunyi's head was "bang", and he finally knew who this person was.
Zhu Yuqian——Zhu Yujian!
Zhu Yujian—the future Emperor Longwu!
After the fall of the Chongzhen Dynasty, he was supported by Zheng Hongkui, Zheng Zhilong, Huang Daozhou and others, and proclaimed himself emperor in Fuzhou, changing his reign name to Zhu Yujian of Longwu!
My mind was in confusion, why did the future Emperor Longwu come to the small Penghu?
Zhu Yujian, a native of Fengyang, Anhui Province, was the eighth grandson of King Ding of the Tang Dynasty, Zhu Tu.
. He then recruited thousands of troops in Nanyang and personally led the battle against the rogue bandits. However, he was severely defeated by the rogue bandits.
Because he violated national laws, the imperial court punished him and deposed him as a commoner and imprisoned him in Fengyang.
He should be a prisoner now, so how could he appear in Penghu?
No wonder his two subordinates had such an attitude towards him.
Although he was demoted to a commoner, he was still a descendant of the Zhu family and a relative of the emperor. His subordinates did not dare to neglect him at all. But I am afraid that those two subordinates were not only to protect him, but also to monitor him. Therefore, Zhu Yujian's actions
Any action requires their consent.
It's chaos, everything is chaos, a commoner now, the future emperor actually appears in Penghu, and even talks about world affairs with a small boss over a drink.
Ding Yunyi still had a good impression of this historical Emperor Longwu.
After Zhu Yujian became emperor, he cheered up and tried to restore the Ming Dynasty. He lived a strict life. There were no favorite concubines in the palace, only Queen Zeng. She was also well-educated and a virtuous wife. He also appointed Jin Sheng, Yang Tinglin,
He Tengjiao and other anti-war factions have repeatedly planned to send troops to the Northern Expedition, and have recovered lost lands such as Anwei Jingde and Ningguo.
If he had been born in a peaceful and prosperous age, he might have been a wise king. But unfortunately, he lived in the troubled times at the end of the Ming Dynasty, and his troops were not enough to compete with the later Qing troops. He
I can be said to be one of the most capable emperors among the future emperors of the Southern Ming Dynasty. Unfortunately, he chose the wrong force in the wrong place, which made him achieve nothing. In the end, the Longwu court's plan to restore the country failed.
What a pity for such an accomplished person.
Ding Yunyi took a deep breath: "Ding Yunyi, the commander-in-chief of Penghu in the Ming Dynasty, joins His Highness the Prince of Tang!"
