Rule the Ming Dynasty Alone

The Amazon in early summer is a vibrant green ocean, with dense rainforest covering the entire land, and every leaf is shining with the luster of life.

On the mountains to the west, the ancient Inca city is located between two peaks.

In this mountainous field, all kinds of wild flowers are blooming, red, yellow, purple, colorful and colorful. The fragrance of flowers is mixed with the smell of moist earth, and the fields are full of vibrant potato seedlings, which makes people feel relaxed and happy. The place is full of nature.

A country where water and soil support one person and whose staple food is potatoes created a terraced agricultural structure and also allowed the Inca city to be built on high ground.

Now the real owner of the royal city is no longer the aloof Inca king, but the current Inca master Su Can, who is the real master of the empire.

Especially after learning from the Chinese way of governing the country, many things took root and sprouted in this decadent empire, causing the entire empire to become a little more lively.

As night falls, the torches in the Inca city light up.

Su Can sat at the desk, frowning.

Since he entered the Inca city, although he has successfully taken over the power of the Inca emperor step by step, he has faced external threats.

If the arrival of the Ming Dynasty fleet was expected, the appearance of those weird white-skinned men completely disrupted his pace of becoming the master of this land.

This group of people from the Eastern Sea not only possess great navigation skills, but also possess firecrackers and sharp knives, and also possess strong fighting qualities.

If the white-skinned people were not too few, the entire Inca Empire might not be their opponent.

By chance, this group of mysterious white-skinned people actually met the fleeing Inca prince, and they actually wanted to help the Inca prince "restore his country."

Although he learned from Cao Cao's approach of holding the emperor hostage to order the princes, and now holds power as an Inca national advisor, this empire cannot be monolithic after all.

Once this matter is not handled well, especially if one's own right to rule is questioned, then these tribal forces will not only stop being used by themselves, but will even point the finger at themselves.

That's why the biggest threat he faces now is neither within the Inca Empire nor his own powerful motherland, but this group of white-skinned people from the East who have suddenly appeared.

Originally, the activity area of ​​this group of white-skinned people was still on the southern island of the South American continent, but judging from the latest information obtained, they continued to move north.

I don't know whether it's luck or misfortune, but these white-skinned people seem to be very greedy.

Judging from the constant feedback, the behavior of the white-skinned people is worse than that of the Mongols. They frantically looted the gold and silver jewelry from the southern tribes.

In contrast, although the Ming Dynasty was also eager for gold, it never ordered them to loot. Instead, they found gold mines and spent huge sums of money to mine them.

That's right. From a human perspective, these white-skinned people are not worthy of carrying Da Ming's shoes.

The constant flickering of the torches burdens one's eyesight.

Su Can stretched out his hand and pinched his brow a few times. Faced with the latest information coming from the south, he couldn't help but feel a headache.

Although it was easy to defeat the opponent with the strength of the Inca Empire, these white-skinned men had excellent navigation skills, but they could not capture the opponent's landing point at all.

However, he always believes that difficulties are to be solved. If the traditional method cannot figure out the opponent's landing point, then he can only find another way.

He has never been a pedantic person and always believed that he was a genius. If he can't do it right, he doesn't mind winning by surprise and making it impossible for these white-skinned people to come back.

"Master, please have tea." A maid crept in and said softly, trying not to disturb Su Can's thoughts.

It’s just that the more you fear something, the more likely it will happen.

Su Can's hand subconsciously reached out, and the back of his hand happened to touch the tea cup and the overflowing tea, and a burning sensation immediately surged from his skin.

ah?

The maid watched helplessly as the accident happened, and her entire face was extremely frightened at this moment.

Su Can suddenly raised his head and stared at the maid with sharp eyes. Then, stimulated by the burning sensation, he immediately slapped the maid hard with his hand.

The two guards outside the door heard the noise and ran in immediately.

"Master, have mercy on me, please have mercy on me!" The maid groaned in pain, endured the pain and knelt on the ground, kowtow to Su Can and begged for mercy.

Su Can glanced at the guards who came in, and ordered coldly: "Drag the man out to feed the dog!"

"Yes!" Several guards were shocked and immediately said respectfully.

The reason why Su Can was able to take control of the empire so quickly was not only due to his own vision and talent, but also to the ferocity with which he dealt with things.

For example, when he faced doubts from local tribes, he didn't just conquer, but directly massacred the tribe and promoted his hegemony through bloodbath.

Perhaps due to his background, he had never been optimistic about Confucian governance, and was more willing to learn from the Qin Dynasty's use of Legalism to govern the country.

"No! No!" The maid was dragged away, her voice trembling with fear as she begged.

"Those who oppose me will perish!"

Su Can didn't feel any sympathy in his heart, but looked at the maid who was dragged away coldly until he heard the maid's last miserable scream.

At this time, a personal guard came in to report that Liu Tao was back.

Liu Tao has become one of Su Can's most capable officers. After being informed by the guards, he strode in with a look of excitement on his face.

"Please protect the child with the spirit of his parents in heaven. The child will definitely make the Ming Emperor regret treating our Su family like this!" Su Can looked at the memorial tablets of his parents, and then solemnly offered the incense.

Although he has become the actual controller of the Inca Empire, he can never let go of this family relationship in his heart.

In the original plan, he hoped that Liu Zhang would bring the treasure back to the Ming Dynasty as originally planned, and then Liu Zhang would secretly bring his entire family to the Inca Empire to enjoy prosperity and wealth.

However, Liu Zhang's delay in returning made him realize that Liu Zhang had betrayed him, or that Liu Zhang's motives had been understood by the Ming Emperor.

He was well aware of the terrible consequences of betraying the Ming Dynasty, so the last time the Ming Dynasty fleet arrived, he also spent a lot of money to purchase information from a Ming army general.

Judging from the information obtained, Liu Zhang indeed chose to resign from the court, and the Ming court retained Liu Zhang's title of Earl of Xintu, which made it difficult for him to judge whether Liu Zhang betrayed him or waited for an opportunity to bring his family.

However, his expectations for Liu Zhang were quickly shattered because he learned from another Ming general that his family was executed because of his uncle's participation in the assassination of the emperor.

After learning the news, it no longer mattered whether Liu Zhang betrayed him or not. After all, the family he cared about most had been killed by the Ming Emperor.

"Your Majesty, fortunately we have fulfilled our mission. Zhao Zhongyi and his gang have been captured by me, a total of sixty-nine people!" Liu Tao came up behind Su Can and immediately reported the report as if he was claiming credit.

"You did a good job! You asked someone to bring Zhao Zhongyi here, and I will personally interrogate him tonight!" Su Can withdrew his eyes from the spirit tablet, turned around and said with murderous intent.

He originally planned to proclaim himself king to the Ming Dynasty as a vassal state, but he gave up this idea after learning that the emperor had killed his family.

Since the Emperor of Ming Dynasty dared to kill him all over his body, he would never make it easy for Ming Dynasty.

The reason why he wanted to remove the Ming Dynasty's base in the American continent this time was to vent his inner anger, and to prevent the Ming Dynasty from encroaching here.

After all, the combat power of the Ming Dynasty was there. If it hadn't taken months for the fleet to cross the Pacific, he would not have dared to betray the Ming Dynasty.

That's why the Ming Dynasty's base area was uprooted this time not only for revenge, but also to prevent the Ming Dynasty from growing stronger through the base area, and finally threatening its rule of the Inca Empire.

"Yes!" Liu Tao immediately handed over his hands and was about to turn around and leave, but suddenly hesitated and said, "Your Majesty, there is actually one more thing I need to report to you!"

"What's the matter?" Su Can sat back in his seat and asked in confusion.

"When I was escorting Zhao Zhongyi and others back, I suddenly heard three gunshots from the sea. After the spies reported back, he saw a Mingyuan treasure ship, so the Ming court may have sent a fleet to arrive here." Liu Tao knew that this matter was no trivial matter, and he was doing it in a down-to-earth manner.

In fact, he was very lucky in his heart. Fortunately, they moved a step faster this time. Otherwise, with the strength of the Ming fleet, it would be almost impossible for them to capture that stronghold.

Although this huge Jiayin Empire has hundreds of thousands of troops, all of them have the strength of Zhan Wu Zha, otherwise they would not have taken down this empire with just a few hundred people.

Su Can's brows furrowed, and his heart moved slightly: "Have Zhao Zhongyi's gang heard the sound of the cannon?"

"The sound of the cannon was relatively close to us, and those people must have heard it, but I'm afraid they couldn't tell it was from the Ming Dynasty fleet!" Liu Tao felt serious and nodded, then expressed his judgment.

Su Can sighed secretly and shook his head very sensibly: "You don't have to bring people here! Zhao Zhongyi refused to accept our gold earlier. He is very loyal and a tough guy. Now that he knows about the Ming Dynasty When the fleet arrives, it will be even less likely to betray the Ming Dynasty, and it will not provide us with information! "

"Ah? Then what should we do?" Liu Tao knew that Su Can wanted to obtain information from Zhao Zhongyi, and was dumbfounded when he realized that his efforts were in vain.

"Zhao Zhongyi and the others are in our hands, and they are the ones who should be anxious now!" Su Can's eyes flashed with a light of wisdom, and he immediately made arrangements: "After all, they arrived a step too late, and now they are firing at us in a hurry , probably want to talk to us! Send someone to contact them immediately to see if they want peace or war! "

Although he already hated the Ming Dynasty in his heart, but now faced with the threat of white-skinned people from the south, he had to take the overall situation into consideration. If he could avoid a war with this Ming fleet, he still hoped to be in peace for the time being.

Especially in the last negotiation, he also pretended not to know about the death of his parents, but followed the original plan and proclaimed himself king of the Ming Dynasty as a vassal state.

As long as the Ming Dynasty gives him the title of King of the Incas, he doesn't mind being conceited and will wait until the right time to deliver a fatal blow to the Ming Dynasty.

"Yes!" Liu Tao's eyes brightened slightly, and he immediately took the order and turned around to leave.

In the early morning, the first ray of sunlight shines through the clouds and falls on the sea. The waves are sparkling, as if the sea is covered with a golden coat.

A gust of sea breeze blows gently, carrying the freshness and salty smell of the sea caressing an earthen castle on a high slope, making people feel extremely comfortable and peaceful.

Although this earth fort was destroyed by the Inca army, the geographical conditions here are very good, otherwise Zhao Zhongyi's 100 people would not have been able to persist here for so long.

Zheng Yong led 5,000 people to rebuild the earthen fortress. He not only restored the earthen walls that had been destroyed by the Inca army, but also expanded and strengthened them.

Facing the Ming rebels sent by Su Can, Zheng Yong immediately said directly: "Go back and tell Su Can: The governor has brought his son, and we can discuss the terms of exchange!"

When the news came back to the Inca City, Su Can looked very shocked and said: "I...my son is still alive? No...didn't it mean that all my family members were implicated and executed?"

Naturally, there has already been a clear explanation for this doubt.

"Your son Su Ren is very lucky. He got excellent grades in the Imperial College, so he followed his teacher to the Dongji Island with the fleet to visit the Ming Dynasty's gold mines! Originally, he was going to be beheaded when he came back, but Liu Zhang happened to come back before him. , so you should be able to understand why your son is still alive now, right?"

Some people not only have a good life, but also have good luck.

Su Can's son Su Ren was admitted to the Imperial Academy to study because his father went to America. Because the Imperial Academy paid more and more attention to practice, and his grades were very good, he followed his teacher on a study tour to Dongji Island.

Since he was overseas, it was naturally impossible for the imperial court to send orders to kill Su Ren overseas, so Su Ren's punishment was postponed. This time difference was crucial, and it also gave Su Ren a chance to survive.

Liu Zhang happened to arrive at Tianjin Port when Su Ren returned from his study tour in Japan. Whether the court was appeasing the deceased ministers or commending Su Can's achievements, it was naturally impossible for the court to kill Su Can's son.

"Your Majesty, I am right in applying to see Su Ren. He is indeed your son!" The person who came to negotiate was a Ming rebel general who was very close to Su Can, and he confirmed it very seriously.

"Okay, go and tell them that I can exchange the lives of Zhao Zhongyi's sixty-nine people for my son!" Su Can hesitated for a moment and then made up his mind.

He now has many women, so he naturally has no shortage of offspring, but it is destined to be difficult for him to have pure Chinese blood. What's more, this is the son he has watched grow up, how can he let go of him?

"The governor brought your son thousands of miles to the American continent. How can it be cost-effective for only sixty-nine people? If you want to exchange, show enough sincerity!" Zheng Yong responded with great disdain when faced with Su Can's compromise.

The essence of exchange is actually a negotiation. Now it depends on who values ​​the chips in the other party's hand more.

Zheng Yong could ignore Zhao Zhongyi's sixty-nine lives, but Su Can felt even more torture in his heart when he looked at his only son alive.

In the end, Su Can chose to give in, and not only sent back Zhao Zhongyi's sixty-nine prisoners, but also provided a large amount of fresh fruits, vegetables and food to the Ming fleet, and also sent the best golden potatoes.

In fact, the potatoes Liu Zhang brought back last time were low-quality potatoes. The second time the Ming Dynasty fleet came back, the potatoes they brought back were of average quality. Liu Zhang learned from Liu Zhang that only the Royal City of Ghana has the golden potato variety with the best yield.

Just like this, when Su Can also added 100 kilograms of golden potatoes in exchange, Zheng Yong also chose to agree to this exchange condition.

After the two parties have negotiated the terms, they will discuss how to exchange them. After all, either party has the possibility of going back on its promise.
