Chapter 520 I Am a Member of the Ming Dynasty

Since the battle situation had already shown a strong and weak differentiation, and Su Can was about to make a statement, Su Can's position attracted the attention of the fighters below.

But no one expected that Su Can would be attacked from behind, and they heard Su Can scream very clearly.

Tonight is a full moon night, and the entire palace is as bright as day.

In the surprised eyes of everyone, everyone also saw clearly that the murderer in front of the palace was Su Ren, the eldest prince of the Inca Empire.

Su Ren's status is very special. Although he was not canonized as a prince by Su Can, he has been living in the palace and is even responsible for the security of the royal city.

But at this moment, he became the one who assassinated Su Can and did something that could change the direction of the Inca Empire.

"Su Ren?"

"Eldest prince, how is this possible?"

"Su Ren, he... he actually killed his father?"

...

After everyone around saw Su Ren's face clearly, they all showed shock on their faces.

Whether it was the rebels who followed Sun Hai or Su Can's ace guards, when they saw the scene in front of the palace, they all looked at Su Ren in shock.

But they never expected that this eldest prince would kill his father and become the key figure in reversing the situation.

Su Can did not die immediately. He stretched out his hand to cover his wound, turned around and roared in disbelief: "You...are you crazy?"

In the turmoil caused by uneven distribution, he once doubted everyone, even his own palace guard Wang Gui no longer believed, but he never thought that his eldest son would betray him at this time.

"I'm not crazy!" Su Ren looked at the bloody dagger in his hand and responded very soberly.

Su Can felt the piercing pain in his abdomen, but he still had a lot of unwillingness in his heart: "Even if you kill me, do you think you can get the throne? Do you have a brain?"

Although he has not yet made up his mind to hand over the throne to this eldest son, the eldest son in front of him is one of the heirs after all, and there is a high probability that he will inherit his throne in the future.

But now that his eldest son suddenly attacked him, with his ability, he could not suppress Liu Tao's gang at all, and the throne could not fall on him at all.

That's why he couldn't understand why his son was instigated to assassinate him. This was an unreasonable and stupid behavior.

"Su Can, is the throne the only thing on your mind?" Su Ren saw through Su Can's thoughts, but asked with a sad smile.

Su Can was slightly stunned, but suddenly found that he could not see through his eldest son: "Then what are you doing? If you are not for the throne, why do you want to assassinate me?"

"Besides the throne, have you never thought about your family?" Su Ren looked at Su Can who was still thinking about the throne, but asked angrily.

Su Can seemed to have suddenly figured something out, thinking he had caught Su Ren's thoughts: "Are you blaming me for compromising with the Ming Dynasty? Do you think I don't want revenge? The Ming Dynasty is much stronger than you think. What can we do for revenge now?"

"Revenge? The only one who died in the family was Grandpa, but the reason Grandpa chose to hang himself was because of you, a traitor in our Su family! He had no face to live in the world, nor to face his ancestors, so he committed suicide! All along, I forgot to tell you that you have been expelled from the Su family by Grandpa, and you are no longer a member of our Su family!" Su Ren no longer concealed the truth, but revealed the truth of the matter.

Although his second uncle did participate in the plan to assassinate the emperor that year, the Ming Emperor did not kill their Su family, but settled them in the suburbs of the capital to live a new life.

After learning that his father betrayed the Ming Dynasty, his grandfather could not bear the blow. After all, the thing he was proud of in his life was the loyalty of their Su family to the court from generation to generation, so he finally chose to hang himself.

He came across the ocean this time, and from the beginning he was not a bargaining chip. He was a member of the Ming Dynasty from the beginning to the end, and he came to atone for the Su family.

As for his father, not to mention that he had been driven out of the Su family, and he even abandoned the whole family for personal gain, what reason did he have to think about the father-son relationship?

Su Can's brain was buzzing, but he was unwilling to accept this fact and said: "No, it's impossible, you are just for the throne, don't make up such a ridiculous story!"

"You won't understand, you will never understand, there are more important things in the world than the throne!" Su Ren thought of his mother and brothers and sisters who were still alive, but answered very firmly.

Su Can reached out and touched the dagger hidden on his body, and suddenly rushed over fiercely and said: "You unfilial son, go to hell!"

If it really comes to personal combat power, Su Can is actually far above Su Ren. Even if he is seriously injured now, he may not be unable to fight Su Ren to the death.

Su Can is actually a person who is very indifferent to family affection. If he really has his family in his heart, he would not betray the Ming Dynasty for power.

Now that Su Ren dared to stab him, he didn't mind killing his eldest son himself. Not to mention that he already had two younger sons, and he could have more children in the future, so the death of a son was not a big deal.

Puff!

Just as Su Can reached out to Su Ren, he suddenly felt a pain in his wrist.

"Su Can, even a tiger won't eat its own cubs, you are really more vicious than a tiger!" Liu Tao, who had just arrived here, rescued Su Ren and said sarcastically.

Su Can looked up and saw Liu Tao suddenly appear, but he knew that this rebellious force was stronger than he imagined, but he still didn't understand who could organize this group of people.

You know, he is already the emperor of the Inca Empire, holding the resources of the entire empire in his hands. It is said that Liu Tao and his gang can only get more benefits if they stand on his side.

But it just happened that Liu Tao and Sun Hai's old subordinates were able to get together, and even his eldest son was involved.

Su Can's mind suddenly thought of a possibility. Thinking that his son was indeed not for the throne, he looked to the west in shock.

"Wrong, you are unfaithful and unfilial, go to hell!" Su Ren escaped a disaster, but thought of his dead grandfather and suddenly rushed up and said.

Su Can felt the threat of death, covering the wound on his wrist with wide eyes and said in horror: "No!"

Puff! Puff!

Su Ren seemed to be stimulated by something, holding the dagger tightly in his hand and stabbing Su Can twice, and his eyes showed a trace of determination and no regrets.

He knew that he had done something extremely treasonous, but he just wanted to make Su Can bring shame to the entire Su family, so that his grandfather would die with hatred, and he would not retreat at all.

Moreover, he needed to fulfill his grandfather's last wish, and he had to protect his mother and brothers and sisters, and he had been a member of the Ming Dynasty from beginning to end.

Liu Tao saw the chaotic crowd below, and also stood up and shouted: "Stop it!"

The people present looked at each other, and then they all stopped.

The leaders of both sides were actually Su Can's old subordinates. Now they saw that Su Can was dead, so they also needed to consider their own future.

"Your Majesty died of smallpox. Now we must focus on stability. Let's go to the meeting hall to discuss how to stabilize the court!" Liu Tao faced the eyes of the crowd and set the tone for the matter.

As soon as this was said, everyone knew what Liu Tao was thinking.

Although Su Can had been killed by Su Ren, the Inca Empire, a piece of fat, naturally could not be lost, so they naturally had to unite again next.

The people present looked at each other in bewilderment. Now they were essentially in a foreign country, and they quickly accepted the proposal.

In fact, some people knew that this matter had been premeditated, and they walked towards the meeting hall very happily. As for Su Can, who fell in a pool of blood, no one looked at him again.

No matter how glorious Su Can had been, and no matter if he was the Inca emperor, he has now become a thing of the past, or has become a victim of political struggle.

"Everyone does not need to hide it anymore. It is time for us to set things right in the future!" Liu Tao said directly after sitting down.

The so-called setting things right, the content discussed in the meeting hall this time will naturally not be made public.

Everyone quickly reached a consensus that the Inca emperor Su Can died of smallpox infection, and the throne was inherited by the eldest prince Su Ren, that is, the new son of the sun god.

Since there was no internal dispute, Su Ren took power smoothly.

Not only did he not promulgate new policies like Su Can, but he also abolished all the new policies that Su Can had just promulgated.

On the day of his accession, he abolished all the previous administrative divisions of prefectures and counties, and no longer set up six ministries, but re-entered the military control governance mode.

As for the plan to move the capital, it was directly stopped. The labor force that had been mobilized was sent to the north to build a new road connecting the port to the mining area.

The Inca Empire was no longer keen on institutional reforms, nor did it shout the slogan of unifying the continent, but instead launched a massive plan to mine mineral resources.

Liu Tao became the new commander of the Northern Expedition Army. He was responsible for expanding northward. With the advanced weapons brought by China, he quickly sent a large number of captives to the mining area.

Originally, the Inca Empire had been targeted by Spain, but the Spanish fleet had fled back to Europe after being hit hard last time.

Although European nobles yearned for gold, each voyage required a lot of money to support it, and the funds of the Spanish royal family also had problems.

Although Columbus repeatedly lobbied and brought back more parrots, they no longer had the financial resources to continue to support Columbus for new voyages.

In fact, Europe is now in chaos. The Franco-Spanish War broke out because France cut off Spain's food supply.

Due to the raging smallpox epidemic, more and more European royal families have experienced financial crises, and war has become the best way for them to resolve conflicts in their own countries.

That's why, although Spain discovered a new ship line, the Spanish royal family no longer had private money to support Columbus's new voyage.

On the other hand, just as South America was ushering in a change, a new city in North America had already sprung up.

In a place later known as San Francisco, the Governor of America Zheng Yong took root here. Not only was the Governor's Office of America located here, but also the American Daming City and Port were built.

Zheng Yong, wearing a bullfighting suit, stood on the dock and waved to a sea ship, saying, "Have a good trip, and be sure to bring the letter back to your majesty!"

"I will definitely fulfill my mission!" Zhao Zhongyi, the captain of this time, saluted Zheng Yong solemnly.

He was the second batch of soldiers to come to the American continent, and now it was finally his turn to escort the goods back to Daming. He was both nervous and full of expectations.

Although everything is fine here, he still misses his hometown and wants to go home to see his relatives.

"Let's go!" Although Zheng Yong was reluctant, he still waved his hand vigorously to let Zhao Zhongyi leave.

North America was also affected by the smallpox virus. The population of the entire region was declining rapidly, many tribes were slowly dying out, and even some small countries were facing disintegration.

However, he did not forget his mission. On the one hand, he incorporated this area into the military control area of ​​the Ming Dynasty, and on the other hand, he traded furs with the local indigenous people.

If it comes to cold resistance, then the best fabric is naturally fur.

There are countless animals living in this new continent, and the Indians make a living by hunting, and they can get a lot of furs every day. The furs are extremely precious in the eyes of the Ming Dynasty, but they are worthless in their eyes.

Zheng Yong saw the economic value of furs. While arranging Zhao Zhongyi to return to the Ming Dynasty to convey military intelligence, he also asked him to bring back a batch of high-quality furs.

The furs here are just like cabbage. He can exchange a car of furs from the tribal leaders here with just a sharp knife.

That's right, if everything goes well, then North America can completely become a supply station for Ming Dynasty turf.

This fleet slowly sailed out of the port, but the bow did not return to South America, but they explored a new route.

This time the fleet continued to go north, sailing west along the current from the north of America, and after passing through the Aleutian Islands, they could reach the waters near Hokkaido.

The Hokkaido Sea is now actually under the military control of the Ming Dynasty. If they return there, it will be almost like returning home.

Zhao Zhongyi felt the chill in the north, but fortunately everyone of them prepared fur coats, and as long as the sea surface was not frozen, it would not affect their fleet.

When the time came to November, they finally returned to Hokkaido.

Although Japan could not avoid the attack of the smallpox epidemic, various regions were relatively calm.

Japan's anti-Ming alliance was thunderous but little rain. Although they once raised the banner of driving the Ming army out of Shikoku Island and Kyushu Island, the financial resources of the Hosokawa family were limited.

Not to mention that they crossed the ocean to fight the Ming fleet, even if they were in the local area, they would not last for more than a month before disbanding. After all, this army needs military expenditures.

Hosokawa or any other force in Japan, their food supply is controlled to a certain extent by the Ming Dynasty. Once the Ming Dynasty imposes a food blockade and attacks fishing boats on the sea, a large number of local people will starve to death. (End of this chapter)
