Nodding his head, Ma Shi said: "According to the emperor's oral order: Zheng Zhilong entered Manzhe Boyi without a military order, and he should be punished for his crime!
I read that he fought bloody battles in Daliuqiu, Java and other places, so he was punished with a staff of eighty, and he was fined for half a year to see the effect!If you do anything without orders, you will be executed without mercy! "
Zheng Zhilong knelt down and bowed: "The guilty minister thank Your Majesty Long En!"
Ma Shi nodded, satisfied with Zheng Zhilong's attitude, and shouted in a low voice, "Hit!"
Jin Yiwei, who was in charge of the execution, directly raised his army stick and hit Zheng Zhilong on the back. After three blows, he warmed up and turned his attention to Ma Shi's feet.
Ma Shi stood with his feet spread out, the gap in the middle was big enough to fit a human head, and then he shouted, "Give us a hard hit!"
Jin Yiwei, who was in charge of the execution, curled his lips and swung down the general's staff forcefully.
It's just that the army sticks were beaten extremely loudly, and Zheng Zhilong also screamed extremely badly, but the oily skin was not scratched at all.
After the sixty strokes of the army stick, the strength that was received before was no longer restrained, and the strong twenty army stick hit Zheng Zhilong's back, and his skin was ripped apart immediately, and the bloody back was no longer there. Not a single piece of good meat in sight.
After the beating was over, the four captains of Jinyiwei who were executing the execution grabbed Zheng Zhilong's hands and feet, lifted them off the ground, and then let go, throwing Zheng Zhilong hard on the deck.
After getting Jin Yiwei's return, Ma Shi glared at Zheng Zhihu, Zheng Zhifeng and the others, and shouted: "What are you doing standing there stupidly? Why don't you hurry up and help your admiral to treat the wound?"
After entering the cabin, after the doctor accompanying the army applied the medicine for Zheng Zhilong and left, Ma Shi said, "Admiral Zheng, Your Majesty wants us to send you a message."
Seeing Zheng Zhilong struggling to get up and salute, Ma Shi pressed Zheng Zhilong's shoulder, stopped Zheng Zhilong, and smiled: "Your Majesty said, this time I hit you with twenty army sticks, not because you led the troops without authorization. Make things right for Li Zizi and the others."
Zheng Zhilong stopped struggling to salute forcibly, after all, if he got down with twenty solid sticks, he would be lucky if he could save his life - if Ma Shi's toes were in a horoscope just now, he wouldn't have survived at all possible.
However, according to the temper of His Majesty the emperor now, since the fight is over, his own affairs are considered over, and it is unlikely that there will be any more incidents of settlement after autumn.
After grinning and thanking Ma Shi, Zheng Zhilong asked: "Please tell me, Eunuch Ma, that Zhilong will certainly correct himself."
Ma Shidao: "Your Majesty said, the next time I will directly dispatch the fleet, I act in Ming Dynasty, why do I need to make these excuses? Why do I need to explain to these foreign countries?
Also, the excuse this time is not good, very bad, so hitting you with twenty sticks is to make your memory long! "
Zheng Zhilong endured the pain, cupped his hands towards the north, and said, "Yes, the guilty minister knows about it, and he will definitely think about it and repent."
Ma Shi continued: "Also, it's not our family who blamed you, next time you can't make up your own mind like this, you must remember to report to the Fifth Army Commander's Mansion first.
This time, if it wasn't for His Majesty's extrajudicial mercy, your admiral Zheng would not have enough heads to be chopped off by military law! "
Due to the pain, the smile on Zheng Zhilong's face was uglier than crying: "Isn't this because I'm afraid that there will be troubles in the Fifth Army Commander's Mansion? After all, your Majesty's expedition to Liaodong, the Fifth Army Commander's Mansion will allow me to fight again?"
Ma Shi smiled and said, "How do you know that the Governor's Office of the Five Armies disagrees? Do you know what Duke Ying and Duke Cheng are planning all day long?"
After also cupping his hands towards the north, Ma Shicai continued: "The current Commander's Mansion of the Five Armies is no longer the former Commander's Mansion of the Five Armies. Those poor and poor have already been kicked out.
To tell you the truth, the current Commander-in-Chief of the Five Armies is planning where to clean up next. If His Majesty hadn't spent too much to conquer Liaodong, it is estimated that he has officially marched towards the Mughals now! "
Zheng Zhilong took a deep breath and asked, "Mugul? That's not a good fight. If we really want to fight, although my Ming has a great chance of winning, the loss will not be too small?"
Ma Shi smiled disdainfully, "Do you know why Jiannu disappeared so quickly this time?"
Zheng Zhilong saw that Ma Shi turned the conversation to Liaodong, so he asked curiously: "Is there any connection between this?"
Ma Shi said: "Of course there are some of them. Most of the soldiers who built slaves carried smoking guns that smoked drugs. These people are as weak as that little chicken, so what are they capable of fighting for supremacy?"
Zheng Zhilong asked curiously: "Then the medicine is also sold to Mughal?"
Ma Shi nodded and said, "That's natural, but Eunuch Cao is in charge of this matter, and our family doesn't know too well.
I think that after the Mughal soldiers turned into Jiannu soldiers, they would not pose any threat to my Ming Dynasty. "
Zheng Zhilong laughed and said: "That's a good relationship. When the time comes to attack the Mughals, the Nanyang Fleet will block their sea routes!"
Ma Shi said: "Naturally you are indispensable for this. But in the future, you must be more careful and don't act on your own.
Things like this time, you only need to report to the Governor's Mansion of the Fifth Army to do something, why bother to bear the [-]th army stick yourself? "
But Zheng Zhilong asked again: "That's not right, if it's just to beat my old Zheng Yitong, it doesn't take you, the governor of the West Factory, to do it yourself, right?"
Ma Shi said: "That's right, our family will go to Xinming Island to meet His Highness King Tang and the others."
Hearing that Ma Shi mentioned Tang Wang Zhu Yujian and the others, Zheng Zhilong would just keep his mouth shut and stop asking—about the affairs of the Tian family, it is happiness not to know many things, and the more you know, the more dangerous it is.
After ordering Zheng Zhihu and Zheng Zhifeng to go down to prepare for the feast, Zheng Zhilong changed his face and said to Ma Shi with a smile: "It's a coincidence that I'm back, first try some local food here in Majapahit before going to Xinming Island."
Ma Shi squinted his eyes and said: "You guys will definitely not hold back any good farts, just say what you have to say!"
Zheng Zhilong said: "You also know that I'm a rough person, and I'm far away from the capital, so I expect you to talk to me about the court affairs?"
Ma Shi slapped Zheng Zhilong on the back fiercely, Zheng Zhilong grinned his teeth and cried out in pain, and then said angrily: "I was also a rough person back then!"
Ignoring Zheng Zhilong's grinning expression, Ma Shi continued: "There is no need for our family to tell you, just read the imperial court's mansion newspaper and the Daming half-monthly newspaper. There are many news on it."
Zheng Zhilong asked curiously, "Then, Majapahit will also send officials here like Java?"
Ma Shi nodded and said: "It's probably close to ten, since the half-monthly newspaper has already started talking about it, it's probably true."
But after finishing speaking, Ma Shi said with a smirk again: "Liaodong and Nurgan Dusi are recruiting people, now Java is also recruiting people, Xinming Island is also recruiting people, I think the adults in the court I have a headache."
Seeing that Zheng Zhilong was puzzled, Ma Shi continued: "There are many people who are willing to go to Liaodong, and many people are willing to go to Nurgandusi, but there are not many people who are willing to go to Java and Xinming Island.
After Manjapahit is pacified, people will have to be recruited to come to Manjapahit, but how many are willing to come? "
Zheng Zhilong was taken aback when he heard the words, and then he laughed loudly: "Then wait two years before the Mughals are wiped out, won't they die from a headache?
Well, let them have a headache.I always call Daitianzi herdsmen, this time I want to see how they herd! "
In fact, this problem is not only a headache for Guo Yunhou, the Minister of the Household Department, but also for Emperor Chongzhen.
Sometimes Emperor Chongzhen wondered if he was too kind to these people, so he got used to them and refused to move?
It was better at the beginning, because there was a lot of land allocated, and the government gave seeds and cattle, so many people chose to go to Liaodong and Nurgandusi.
However, as the landlords lowered the land rent again and again, after it was reduced to [-]%, the number of people willing to go to Liaodong and Nurgandus decreased a lot.
Not to mention the willingness to go to Java and Xinming Island.
It's a headache.
Daming obviously still has so little land and so many people, Liaodong and Nurgandus, plus Java and Xinming Island have so many places but only so few people.
I just don't want to move there to exchange for a large area of land, and I would rather pay [-]% of the rent to the landlord than go.
He is his mother!
If it was changed to future generations who said where to give the land, the government would return the seeds to the cows, and those who rushed to go would have already broken their heads!
