"By the way, Emperor Yongli of this Heavenly Dynasty arrived in Wuzhou, Guangxi. Before he could stabilize his journey, he heard that nine thousand Manchus were approaching Guangzhou. He was immediately frightened and his whole body was convulsed. So he packed up his pots and pans and wanted to flee west again. Everyone, Guangdong is hundreds of miles away from Wuzhou, and before the Manchus could see the shadow, Emperor Yongli's crotch was soaked.

Besides, the queen of Emperor Yongli, Wang originally had a concubine in Guangdong, and he also brought the concubine with him when he fled westward. One day, Wang had a private meeting with the concubine again, but was caught by Emperor Yongli. Wang was frightened and knelt down to beg for mercy. But who knew that the concubine was very bold and shouted at Yongli: "I am a Manchu in Jianzhou, and today I will recruit troops to capture you."

Yongli was so scared that his legs cramped. When he heard the word "Man" and he pulled out his legs, he packed up his house and fled to Yunnan..."

In the wine shop in Awa City, the proud actors tell various modified and processed stories in pure Chinese. Myanmar was once a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty. The powerful and wealthy businessmen were proud to be proficient in Chinese. Awa is an important offshore city in southern Myanmar. Many Nanyang maritime merchants do not speak with the locals, and most of them communicate in Chinese. Therefore, in some high-end wine shops, the owners often buy some well-looking actors to let them learn Chinese, and then compile some stories to speak in the wine shop to attract merchants.

Zhu Jun sat in the corner of the restaurant beside the window and couldn't help but smile. He didn't expect that Emperor Yongli's reputation had even become a remote city, but he didn't care. What kind of virtue in Yongli in the past had nothing to do with him, let alone the streets were bad, and at least it could numb the enemy. If the Burmese King didn't know that Yongli was a cowardly escaped emperor, how could he dare to move to Awa with his people?

But Mu Jianming, who was standing beside him, looked indignant and stared at the actor who was making fun of him, wishing he could tear the actor into two pieces with one knife.

This time, Zhu Jun and Mu Jianming sneaked out. Mu Jianming was worried about Zhu Jun's safety, so he specially pulled all the 100 soldiers he belonged to.

Zhu Jun heard a boring story, but was afraid that Mu Jianming would be young and competitive and could not help but cause trouble, so he took Mu Jianming to settle the bill except the diner.

In front of the wine shop is the road leading to the wharf. It was noon, and the sun in the sky was so hot. As soon as Zhu Jun and Mu Jianming showed their shadows in the wine shop, hundreds of strong men gathered from all directions, casually distributed a few meters away to warn each other.

Going further forward is the dock cargo hold in Awa, where all kinds of goods shipped from overseas are piled up here, and ordinary Burmese merchants come here to buy goods and ship them to every corner of Myanmar for sale. The sun is hot at noon, and the shops along the street are wide open, but there is no business. Only a few lazy guys are hiding at the base of the wall to rest.

"Sir, the water surface in Myanmar was not peaceful a few days ago, and many passing merchant ships were intercepted by pirates, so it is very depressed now." Mu Jianming had stepped on the plates here a few times before. Zhu Jun saw that he was a person who couldn't stay idle, so he asked him to stroll around Tuwa City after training and often went to shops, so he was more familiar with the road.

Zhu Jun nodded and wiped the sweat from his forehead with his long sleeves. The changing climate in South Asia made him feel a little uncomfortable. This time he came here not just to buy goods, but just to take a walk, look at the market conditions of Tuwa City, and to understand some customs and customs. Unfortunately, he didn't seem to be the time to come. The weather was so hot that except for some shops that opened the door to do business, most people's houses were closed tightly.

The first feeling that the earthy tiles gave Zhu Jun was desolate. It was called the largest port in Myanmar, which was simply a fictional reputation. I am afraid that any small dock in the south of the Yangtze River would be more prosperous than it, and other cities in the South of the South were probably just like this. No wonder the Ming Dynasty called these vassal states as places outside the world, which was not groundless.

Zhu Jun stopped in front of a shop along the street. The shop was opened by Han people, and the guy at the door was also Han people. Seeing that Zhu Jun was dressed well and was following his followers, he didn't have any vision. He quickly manipulated the Chinese language in Guangdong accent to come up and chatted with him.

"Customer, are you a Han Chinese too? Come on, come and go to the small shop to take a seat. Today, our boss just came from Jiangning and there is a large warehouse of goods."

Generally, there is no goods in the front hall of shops near the dock, but they are just places to entertain merchants. If the business is negotiated, you can take them to the backyard to see the goods, and they are not sold in stock, but only wholesale.

Zhu Jun entered the store with the shop. The shop found a rag to carefully wipe the seats, and then asked Zhu Jun to sit down. Mu Jianming stood by with a few soldiers.

"I'll ask you, are you from Jiangnan?" Zhu Jun picked up the teacup served by the shop, gently blew away the tea foam, and took a sip.

"Type, our boss is from Yangzhou. Every year, he will buy a ship of goods here to sell. When he returns, he will bring some Nanyang specialties, which is quite profitable." The shopman saw that there was no braid behind Zhu Jun, and he had already guessed that Zhu Jun was a survivor outside the city, so he was not afraid that they were a competitor merchant in Jiangnan.

"Don't lie to me, but I heard that the Qing Dynasty was more strict than before. How did your boss come out?" Zhu Jun asked tentatively.

"You don't know, the sea ban is just to scare ordinary people. My boss has some money, and it has been managed by any yamen. Those people are better than the officials of the previous dynasty. I think they have never seen much world, and they can send them a few hundred taels of silver. If it weren't for the rampant pirates in the South China Sea, it would be fine if they had gone back and forth four or five times a year."

Zhu Jun said oh, but in fact he had guessed this answer for seven or eight. The Qing Dynasty ruling class corroded very quickly. In just over a decade, these barbarians who were still savage outside the pass immediately became officials in the officialdom, and were proficient in eating, drinking, and eating.

At this time, a cough came from the backyard, and the curtain connecting the backyard was gently pushed away. A middle-aged businessman with a braided braid and wearing a melon-shaped hat on his head walked out. He laughed and bowed to Zhu Jun and said, "I heard the magpies sing on the branches early today. It turned out that a distinguished guest was here. The surname Huang Mingxin is from Jiangning. He is the owner of this place. What do you want to buy if the distinguished guest is Gao's name?"

Zhu Jun stood up and said with a polite voice: "I'm the next name Zhu's name Jun, I just took a look and told my boss to come out to welcome the guests in person. I was really ashamed."

Huang Xin smiled. Seeing Zhu Jun's handsome appearance, calm manners, and his clothes were cut together, he knew that Zhu Jun had a background and would not miss the opportunity to flatter him, and quickly said, "Where, where."

After both parties sat down, Zhu Juncai asked: "I wonder what business is Huang Dong's business? I want to buy some goods. If you have one here, I won't be able to buy it elsewhere."

Huang Xin said: "Okay, please go down to the backyard and take a look."

Zhu Jun nodded, let's put aside the business for the time being, but I want to hear about the situation in Jiangnan. Zhu Jun wants to produce silk in Nanyang, which is also an important place of silk. If you don't understand the market clearly, it won't work. In addition, as the former emperor's position imposed on him, it is also necessary to understand the situation of the occupied areas. So he said: "I have been away from home for a long time and have been far away in southern Myanmar. I don't know what the situation in my hometown is. Whenever I want to go back and have no time to get in trouble, I always feel grateful if the Huang Dong family can tell me."

Huang Xin sighed and said, "That's the situation. In the ten days of Yangzhou and three days of Jiajing, the wars of many years have been plagued by the Eight Banners of Manchuria, causing many wives to be separated. He also ordered the Han people to shave off their hair around their heads, leaving only one as big as a copper coin, with a drooping braid. More than one qian is to be executed! Not only those who do not shave their hair, but those who are not as good as shave their hair are also to be killed. Now there are many orphans and refugees in Jiangning City, most of whom are not able to get help to starve to death on the streets. Brother Zhu is comfortable in southern Myanmar, so he should not go back. Although he is away from a foreign land, it is better than those who are angry when he goes back. He is also a big family and cannot get rid of his body, otherwise he has moved to Nanyang."

Zhu Jun felt a little upset. He saw on TV that Shunzhi was a sentimental and kind emperor, who developed people's livelihood and maintained peace and stability. Who knew that he was such a person.

Shaving hair: In the early Qing Dynasty, it was not just about leaving your head without leaving your hair, leaving your hair without leaving people, and just tied a braid, but it was stipulated that the hair left could only be the size of a copper coin, which was more than this rule.

Eight Banners enclosure: The order issued by the Qing Dynasty to plunder land after entering the pass. In the first year of Shunzhi (1644), the Qing Dynasty issued a "Previous land near Beijing" to solve the livelihood of the Eight Banners officers and soldiers. In December of the first year of Shunzhi, the Han people who had no owners and the land left by the royal relatives of the Ming Dynasty, the son-in-law, the husband, the marquis, the marquis, the eunuchs, except for the surviving owners, the rest were occupied and distributed to the soldiers of the Donglai kings and soldiers. In the fourth year, due to the "very thin land" in the original enclosure, the number of officers and soldiers of the East Eight Banners increased day by day. No land was cultivated? So in the near Jingzhou counties, all the lands were replaced without owners. According to the above order, the bannermen rode horses on a large scale.

The land occupied by Han people. Many farmers were occupied by land, displaced, hungry and cold. In order to obtain political protection, some Han landlords also brought land to invest. After land occupied, the Eight Banners nobles, officials, soldiers, and soldiers were divided into different amounts according to their respective status and how many strong men they belonged to. The land enclosure was mainly carried out in Shuntian, Baoding, Chengde, Yongping, Hejian and other prefectures within three or five hundred miles of Beijing, and the total enclosure was more than 160,000 hectares. The Eight Banners stationed in other places also enclosed land in Shandong, Shanxi, Shaanxi, Jiangsu, Ningxia and other places. The land enclosure brought great pain to the Han people. The land enclosure was expelled from their homes and left their hometowns. Therefore, they rose up and resisted. This decree was abolished until the 24th year of the Kangxi reign.
