If you can really recruit An, it is equivalent to nailing a nail in the Jiangnan area, and it will not be twice the result with half the effort to collect Jiangnan in the future!

In fact, Liu Pei originally had the intention of sending the heads of Kong Youde and others to the imperial court, but he didn't think of Zhao'an. I just wanted to let the court deter the rebellion of the world, but I didn't expect to have additional gains.

After making up his mind, Liu Peixiu wrote a letter and asked Wu Yizhou to send the heads of many rebels to Xiong Wencan, and after deleting the slave roster, only the old and weak were registered and sent together. It is only said that these people have all been enslaved, the young and strong have been killed, the sick have died, and the war has died, and there are not many people left. Then Liu Pei waited for the news.

Soon after, the imperial court reward arrived, and Liu Pei's pre-arranged means worked. Under the recommendation of Zhu Dadian and Gao Qiqian, Liu Pei officially assumed the post of commander-in-chief of Denglai. Because his father-in-law Wang Changde had just been promoted to the prefect of Laizhou, it was not easy for him to be promoted again, so he was still the prefect of Laizhou after the court recorded his merits. At this point, the operation against the Shandong rebels was completely over. Each army gathered its troops and returned to its garrison.

After Liu Pei returned to the station, he naturally wanted to reward the three armies. However, he handed over this matter to Qi Qitao, and went directly to Taiwan to find Wu Yizhou.

After the two met, they called officers at all levels to discuss Xiong Wencan's letter. After repeated deliberations, everyone reached an agreement,

First of all, you can send all the dozens of heads of Kong Youde and others to Xiong Wencan, and the second is to test whether Xiong Wencan has the intention of recruiting An? If he does have the intention of recruiting An, then it would be the best! You can directly drive a nail into the Southern Naval Division, and then gradually infiltrate the various guards. It took ten years to buy and buy, and replace and replace. At that time, the Jiangnan armed forces fell into the hands of Liu Pei. When Liu Pei calms down the war in the north, the land south of the Yangtze River can be determined!

It's just that everyone is not sure when they choose someone in the end, and they all look at Liu Pei and let him make up his mind. Liu Pei thought for a long time, took out the goggles from his arms and threw them to Wu Yizhou and said, "You take it with you!" From today on, you are the Red-Eyed Dragon King! ”

Wu Yizhou put the goggles on but didn't rush to put them on his face, and said: "Dashuai, I dare to take this name, but there is too much difference between the two of us, yes."

Many people have seen you, but they are afraid that they will be exposed! ”

Liu Hui smiled and said, "Do you think those maritime merchants will say it?" Or do they dare to say it? ”

Wu Yizhou thought about it, it was really like what Liu Pei said, even if they found out that Wu Yizhou was pretending to be the Red Eyed Dragon King, they would not expose it. Because that must be Liu Pei's meaning, if they expose it, they will definitely evil Liu Pei, and I am afraid that there will be no good fruit to eat at that time! So Wu Yizhou said: "This is also true! It's really not good, and it's okay to say hello. ”

Liu Pei said: "There is no need to mention such trivial matters. But you can't get so close to the past in vain, you have to raise your value. ”

Wu Yizhou said: "Raise your value? Do you want us to drive the fleet over? Wouldn't that become a coercion of the government, which would plant a bane! ”

Liu Pei shook his head and said, "It's too rough to do that, you listen to my arrangement." ”

A few days later, a fleet of ten ships rode the wind and waves to the outside of Quanzhou. There was a flag hanging on the huge sail, and few people in Quanzhou City knew what the flag represented. And those ships were quite tall, and the sides of the ships were densely packed with cannon doors.

Moreover, the ships found that those who operated the boats were all blonde and blue-eyed Yiren, which reminded people of the incident of Yiren and chaos in the sea and frontier a few years ago, so for a while, people in Quanzhou City were panicked!

More panicked than the people in Quanzhou City is Wang Desheng, the general of the Quanzhou Navy Division. He received orders from the governor's yamen to drive the fleet out of the fleet with all the sailors, and ordered him to contact the Yi people to see what they wanted.

But Wang Desheng received the order, but he secretly complained! Because where are the ships among the sailors? There are more than 200 ships that can be used on the books. There are only a few ships that can actually be used! And most of them are small boats. It's all a boat in disrepair!

The court allocated the silver layer by layer, and there was not much in his hands. Wang Desheng also embezzled part of it, and used it to maintain part of the ship that ran to the sea. The rest is used to sound. As for spending little and little on the maintenance of the ship. So at present, the Quanzhou Navy Division has no combat capability at all!

But Wang Desheng had to send a ship to sea. So Wang Desheng

All the ships that could go to sea were lost off the coast of Quanzhou. At the same time, they are planning to scare off these flotillary fleets with numbers.

When Wang Desheng approached the opponent's fleet, he saw the opponent's ship clearly, but he secretly complained in his heart! He saw two rows of gun doors on the side of the opposing ship. Just count and understand that there are at least 40 cannons on this ship! Moreover, these ships are beautifully shaped and have seamlessly fitted planks, which make them extremely sturdy at first glance. Don't talk about war, as long as you hit it lightly, your own ship will be scattered!

Wang Desheng stopped the fleet far away and sent an officer to drive a small boat close to the Yiren fleet. As soon as the boat reached the flagship, a human head protruded from the side of the ship. It looked like this man was dark-skinned and a native man. One mouth is an authentic official language! said: "It's the Quanzhou sailor? ”

The officer said, "Exactly." Where did you Yiren come from? What to do? ”

The native said, "This is the fleet of the Kingdom of France from the Far West. They came here to meet the governor and say they wanted to trade! I was the interpreter they hired. ”

The officer was a little relieved to hear this. said: "You are not allowed to get close to Quanzhou City, lean outside again." In addition, I sent someone to follow me to see the general. ”

The interpreter looked back, and the officer heard the chatter on the deck. A moment later, the ten large ships had indeed traveled some distance to the open sea before coming to a stop. Immediately put down a small boat and approached him, and followed the officer directly to Wang Desheng's boat.

Wang Desheng listened to the officer's report, and then looked at the three blonde and blue-eyed Yiren who boarded the ship. The three of them were dressed in strange costumes, with swords and daggers stuck in their waists, and they didn't look like they were easy to match! But the interpreter next to him is very inconspicuous.

Wang Desheng asked Yiren and said, "Which country are you from?" What to do? ”

After Wang Desheng participated in the maritime trade, he also knew that Francoji was a place with many different countries. That's why he asked. After replying, the interpreter said, "Mr. Jack said that they are from the Kingdom of France. It's here to trade. ”

Wang Desheng said: "Why are you so ignorant? Don't you know to trade in Penghu? What is not on the island of Napeng Lake? ”
