There is actually no big difference between the winter in Xinming Island and the winter in Ming Dynasty. It will still be windy when it should be windy, and it will also snow when it should be snowing. It will not be snowing or windy because it is surrounded by the sea.

On the contrary, in the winter of Xinming Island, once the cold wind blows, it will feel like it will be fatal. It is a feeling that people are frozen and they will be frozen directly from the bone marrow. This is somewhat different from the winter of the Ming Dynasty.

After a cold winter, Xinming Island is almost at the end of winter, but the weather can still freeze the dog to death.

If it were the Ming Dynasty, it would be that the tail of summer had just passed, and Qiu Laohu was about to start showing his power.

Ma Shi, whose beards had fallen off, slapped the snowflakes on his body and smiled and said, "Thanks to Admiral Zheng's reminder, otherwise I, Lao Ma, would have been frozen to death now."

Ma Shi is different from ordinary eunuchs. The scar on his forehead makes him look a little hideous. The tone of his speech is not like the feminineness of ordinary eunuchs, but rather like a powerful general who has been through the battlefield for a long time.

Not to mention that it was the Ming Dynasty, the image of Ma Shi could not be a qualified eunuch serving the emperor in any dynasty. It could be sent out to promulgate the imperial eunuch. One of them is counted as another, and it would be decent.

It’s not okay to be ugly and scary. If you grow taller than Tokugawa Tadanaga, you won’t be able to grow up like Tokugawa Tadaka, and if you don’t sound very nice, you won’t be able to do it.

In short, selecting a good eunuch is not as difficult as selecting beauty in later generations. This eunuch doesn’t mean that you can be a eunuch just because you want to be a eunuch, but it depends on whether your own conditions are enough.

If there is no way or background, and I will try to enter the palace after practicing the Sunflower Book with one more knife, it is not impossible. But when I go in, I can only be a sweeping eunuch. It is impossible to make a fortune.

But Ma Shi is different. This guy was originally a guard at the gate. Although his descendants were cut off by someone and he became a father-in-law completely, he couldn't resist this guy's background.

Moreover, his background was relatively high. The eunuch of the Sili Prison, appointed by Emperor Chongzhen of the dynasty, was appointed as the eunuch of Wei Zhongxian and studied and walked. In the future, he would take over Wei Zhongxian's class and be the admiral of the Western Factory.

Wei Zhongxian was even more happy to be so considerate eunuch like himself, who was originally famous and powerful, and it would be a blessing to not be dealt with in secret.

Emperor Chongzhen now threw Ma Shi at his feet, which clearly meant to cultivate Ma Shi to take over his rank, and he could have a good end.

Although it disappeared from the political center of the Ming Dynasty quietly, its life was saved.

As an eunuch, after all, it is a life-threatening person. Living to the age of 65 is rare. You can't think too much, especially with an emperor like Emperor Chongzhen, thinking too much will kill people.

So Lao Wei was very open-minded. Not only did the Xichang stall, but he even slowly handed over all his remaining ways and connections to Ma Shi, but he slowly disappeared from the political court of the Ming Dynasty.

The disappearing meaning was somewhat silent and did not attract anyone's attention, but this was the safest way.

If you can’t eat five cauldrons, you should cook five cauldrons. That’s a bragging saying by scholars. If we don’t talk about it, it’s useless. Living well is better than anything else.

Just like this time, Wei Zhongxian threw the matter directly to Ma Shi and told Ma Shi clearly that when he returned to Beijing, he would completely hand over the West Factory to him.

Ma Shi is also a sensible person. After being with Wei Zhongxian for a long time, his ability to do things and observe his expressions can be regarded as a bit of Wei Zhongxian's true teachings. Therefore, as soon as the ship reached the shore of Xinming Island, Ma Shi thanked Zheng Zhilong first.

Zheng Zhilong also laughed and said, "Eunuch Ma is so polite. My old Zheng has learned a lot of battle formations from Eunuch Ma recently. I would like to thank Eunuch Ma for some advice."

Ma Shi laughed and said, "What's the matter? I, Lao Ma, also led soldiers back then. What's more, all the commanders of the Ming Dynasty's garrisons must learn these things and do not take anything."

After a humble remark, Ma Shi smiled strangely and said, "If it were to lead troops to fight, Admiral Zheng might not be able to compare with the Prince of Ling. Now this kid, tsk."

Seeing that Ma Shi deliberately cheered up his appetite, Zheng Zhilong was happy to cooperate and bowed and whined: "Please let me inform you."

Ma Shi smiled and said, "I forgot that you don't know about this yet. I guess the decree will not come out until after the New Year.

Your Majesty personally gave the boy the surname Zhu and gave him the name Chenggong. This honor was only Zheng and Zheng's eunuch who had received this honor in the three hundred years since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, and Zheng's eunuch had not been granted the surname of the country."

Zheng Zhilong was both surprised and happy, and hurriedly bowed to the north and said, "I wish you all deaths to repay Your Majesty's kindness!"

There is much less history in giving a surname, and it was not without Ming Dynasty.

One was Ryukyu, who was also the king of Zhongshan Kingdom at that time. After destroying Beishan Kingdom and Nanshan Kingdom, it was officially named Ryukyu Kingdom and was given the surname Shang by Emperor Gao of Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang.

The other is the eunuch Zheng and the eunuch Zheng. Because Ma He, who was following Zhu Laosi, raised an army from the King of Yan to fight in the battle and went out of the battle, he performed outstandingly in the battle of Zhengcunba in the capital, and was given the surname "Zheng" by Zhu Laosi.

As for the adopted sons of Emperor Taizu Gao, they were later given the reign and changed back to their original surname.

The rest was only in the Wuzong Dynasty, but it could only be regarded as Emperor Wuzong's nonsense. It was the first time since Emperor Wuzong went to Emperor Chongzhen to grant the country a surname.

And the most important thing is that Emperor Chongzhen gave Zheng Fusong the surname of the country, and even the name was given together. The two very meaningful words "Success" were clearly raised by Zheng Fusong as his godson. How could Zheng Zhilong not be happy?

The godson of the last Ming Dynasty emperor was Zhu Wenying, who had been following Emperor Taizu Gao since childhood to conquer the world. After returning to his ancestors, he was called Mu Ying, so Zhaojing, the prince of Qianning, and even the Duke of Qian in Yunnan was called King Mu's Mansion, and no one in the court even cared about this matter.

Of course, the name of the Prince Mu Mansion is fine. If Duke Mu dares to call Prince Mu, then there will be a problem. Emperor Chongzhen can always call Duke Qian's Mansion the Prince Mu Mansion, but if Duke Qian really calls himself Prince Mu, it is seeking death.

Now, Zheng Zhilong's eldest son, Zheng Fusong, was given a name and surname by Emperor Chongzhen. This is clearly what he wants to raise as his godson. I guess if Emperor Chongzhen was not of a good age, he might have really taken it as his adopted son.

But even so, it would be fine if Zheng Fusong was called the Grand Master in the future. Of course, the official name has now been changed to Zhu Chenggong, which will be attached to the royal family and become a relative of the royal family. The family name is managed by Zongzheng Temple.

In other words, Zhu Chenggong will have a huge backstage after he succeeds.

Whether it is Zheng Zhilong or other people in the Ming Dynasty, they work hard all their lives, just for their own descendants?

As for yourself, it doesn’t matter if you have a bad life.

At this moment, Zheng Zhilong was willing to die for Emperor Chongzhen from the bottom of his heart, although this idea of ​​promoting the death of Yulong for the king only existed for a moment.

Looking at Zheng Zhilong's indescribable look, Ma Shi laughed and said, "I said to Admiral Zheng, the decree has not yet come down. You have to keep your mouth shut, otherwise it will make the emperor unhappy, and the consequences will be hard to say."

Zheng Zhilong bowed and said, "Don't worry, father-in-law, Zhilong saves a lot."

Ma Shi then said with a smile: "Let's go, let's meet a few princes first, and then see them off to the barbarians on this island!"

Zheng Zhilong, who was excited by the news leaked by Ma Shi, reached out and pointed forward, and smiled and said, "Father-in-law, please."

After a tedious etiquette, Zhu Youjian looked at the dead eunuch in front of him for a long time before tentatively saying, "I don't think my father-in-law looks like a factory man, but like a man in the army?"

Ma Shi smiled and said, "The prince is very good at seeing. I am... I was originally the guardian of the Longjing official. However, during the Zunhua Battle, Zhang Wanchun's dog thief surrendered to the slave. When he fought with him, he was injured in his descendants. Then he entered the palace. With His Majesty's gift, I am now following Eunuch Wei to walk the rituals and supervision."

Zhu Youjian gave a thumbs up and said, "Although Eunuch Ma has entered the Silijian now, I still want to praise you as a good man!"

After thanking Zhu Youjian, Ma Shi continued, "Is the prince ready for everything tomorrow?"

Zhu Youjian looked at Zhang Jianying, and Zhang Jianying bowed and said, "If you say goodbye, tomorrow's affairs are ready. Everyone in the barbarian tribe will come to watch the ceremony, and then you will be able to capture it in one go!"

Ma Shi nodded and said to Zhu Youjian: "Since all the arrangements are done, I won't say much. After tomorrow, there will be no more barbarians on this island?"

Zhu Youjian smiled and said, "After tomorrow, this Xinming Island will be the world of Ming Dynasty!"

Ma Shi smiled and said, "That's good. Your Majesty is intending to move some people to Xinming Island. By then, the burden on the princes will be fine."

Zhu Youjian said curiously: "I hope Eunuch Ma will make it clear that how many people in the Ming Dynasty will be moved to Xinming Island?"

After sighing, Ma Shi said, "I can't say it well. In recent years, the great Ming Dynasty has been in constant disasters. No matter how treacherous slander in the court can't be killed, God is dissatisfied and will always bring disasters.

Nowadays, there are many more people suffering from disaster. The emperor's treasury is almost empty and the rats are about to run away. The food I buy is always not enough to eat. I can't say that some people have to be moved to Xinming Island. I can't watch the people starve to death, right?"

Zhu Youjian nodded and said, "Your Majesty also asked you to reply to Your Majesty on your behalf. Starting from tomorrow, Xinming Island is both a territory of the Ming Dynasty. There is no foreign barbarian on the island. If you move the people here, your Majesty can rest assured."

Ma Shi smiled and said, "The prince is loyal and respectful to the country, and the emperor knows it. In the past, the emperor always sighed that the Tang King was a model for the vassals in the world."

Damn it!

Zhu Youjian, who was originally quite happy, suddenly felt the full malice of Emperor Chongzhen.

I give away land and silver. In order to work hard for you, the dog emperor, I will take the lead and come to this untied land where birds do not shit and become a savage. Is it easy for me?

In order to respond to your call, I even gave in to the two deadly positions of Prime Minister and Taiwei, but how did you, the dog emperor?

The King of Tang is actually an example of the vassals in the world? I am showing your mother!

In the future, the vassal kings in the world will be the King of Tang. Zhu Youjian, the shameless dog guy, didn't even want to curry favor with the emperor. Now we are so passive.

Look, now I have to go to a place where birds don’t poop overseas, but I have to give the dog emperor money and land. They are all the idiot Zhu Youjian’s stupid head. He really doesn’t think he is a son!

How did I offend you? You dog emperor actually harm me so much!

Zhu Youjian was extremely unhappy, but he smiled and said, "Your Majesty is too rewarded, but he is the duty of being a minister."

Ma Shi sighed again and then said, "Your Highness Gao Yi, but the officials and officials in the court and all over the country cannot understand. They always want to put money in their arms, but they don't care about the lives of the people at all.

They didn't think about it, who gave them all this now? Without the Ming Dynasty, what are they?

Although I used to be a vulgar martial artist and now I am a eunuch, I also know that those who are ministers should serve the country with loyalty, but these officials are really disappointing.

Your Majesty is not easy, hey."

It’s not easy to die! Go now! Go now!

After sighing, Zhu Youjian said, "Although I am in a place outside of the world, I also know the reason why eating your salary should share your worries.

I hope that Eunuch Ma will reply to Your Majesty on behalf of me. I admire Your Majesty’s noble righteousness and wish to offer you ten thousand gold.

Although not much, it is also good to buy more food for the people of Ming Dynasty.”

Ten thousand gold, one million taels of silver were obtained! There are seven vassal kings on Xinming Island, a total of seven million taels!

After wiping away his tears, Ma Shi stood up and bowed to Zhu Youjian and others, "Your Majesty, Gao Yi, I am the one who is in the five senses. I will repay your princes' loyalty and respectful service to your country!"

Zhu Zhuohong and Zhu Cunji are not surprised. Zhu Changying, Zhu Changhao, Zhu Changrun and Zhu Gongye cursed in his heart that the people in the city are really good at playing!

In one sentence! One million taels of silver! I was cheated by a dead eunuch! The smiling face of Emperor Chongzhen has appeared behind the dead eunuch!

It is true that eunuchs are greedy for money, but no dead eunuch dares to use the emperor's name to solicit bribes to the vassal kings in such an occasion, but they have to submit a memorial to the emperor!

In other words, this dead eunuch named Ma did this by the instructor of the dog emperor!

You have no money, so you go and cut off some ministers and search the house. Why do you want to find us? We are still your uncle. The ones with the highest generation here are your uncles, bastards!

Zhu Changying and others really didn't expect that the emperor would be so shameless! It was so shameless!
Chapter completed!
