121. Fuxing Church
Ye Kai, He Xiwen, Yan Zilu, Gu Lihuan, Zhang Chaorong and others were all there, the five of them knelt down on one knee in a horizontal row, each with a bowl of chicken blood wine in their hands, this Ye Kai drank this thing for the second time, of course, it was not that the five of them wanted to worship again, but in the blood alliance.
From now on, the Dihui Fuxing Hall was established, originally according to the rules of Hongmen, this kind of self-reliance is to invite all kinds of heroes and elders to witness it, but in this Nanyang, everything is simple!
This is the last thing Ye Kai has to do before going to Europe, that is, to use Hongmen as a link to tie the Chinese in Kuala Terengganu and the Ye family together.
He forced Zhang Chaorong to join the gang, and also fooled Zhang Shengming to Europe as a hostage, while Ye Fulai had already brought Liu Chonghan, the rising star of Kuala Terengganu, to his side as a secretary.
At the same time, Ye Kai also asked the Zhang family to send two hundred strong men to the Ye family to train with the standing clan soldiers, in exchange, the Ye family's clan soldiers would also send two hundred to the port of Kemaman, so that the three-pronged approach basically blocked the way that Zhang Chaorong wanted to meet the source left and right.
"Elders and brothers, this Fuxing Hall will be the first church of my Hongmen in Nanyang, I hope you can watch and help each other, unite as one, and don't forget the great ambition of opposing the Qing Dynasty and restoring the Ming Dynasty! As soon as you enter this door, you will be a member of the Hong family for life, and if you dare to betray your brothers, be a traitor, collude with outsiders, and damage the public and private interests, you should know the punishment of my Hongmen with three knives and six holes! ”
Of course, the hall master of this Fuxing Hall is Ye Kai, the two deputy hall masters are He Xiwen and Zhang Chaorong, and the position of the white paper fan is given to Yan Zilu, Gu Lihuan and Ye Huan are each the owner of the incense, and everyone then signed their names on the name letter, and this Fuxing Hall is even established.
Zhang Chaorong sighed in his heart, he couldn't imagine that he had been doing business all his life, and now he was forced to join the Linhui by a junior!
As soon as he signed this word, he could be regarded as trapped, even if he and Rama I himself were forced, Rama I would not believe it.
And he doesn't dare to have two hearts at all now, his most beloved son was pulled away by Ye Kai, and his internal successor is by Ye Fulai's side, and Ye Kai's strict prohibition of betraying his brothers and colluding with outsiders is obviously meant to be meant by him.
The rules of Hongmen with three knives and six holes, others Zhang Chaorong may think that he is not joking, but Ye Kai, Zhang Chaorong does not dare to think so!
Although the eldest young master of the Ye family is young, in the past six months, there have been not 8,000 but 10,000 people who have died under him.
"Big brother! The important task of contacting Zheng Yi depends on you, don't be afraid of money, you just have to ask Ruan Fuying for it, we are recruiting troops for him, and recruiting brothers from the two Guangdi to go to Nanyang, please also ask the big brother! ”
After reading out the rules, Ye Kai began to assign tasks, Mo Guanfu and Chen Tianbao and others among the pirates in Huanan have been pulled over by the Xishan Dynasty, and the only one they can recruit now is Zheng Yi.
When it comes to Zheng Yi, I have to mention the very famous pirate Zhang Baozai in the future, this Zheng Yi is Zhang Baozai's father-in-law, and he is also a powerful faction among the pirates in South China, with hundreds of warships and more than 10,000 pirates under his command.
His wife Shi is also quite capable, and after Zheng Yi's accidental death in the future, Shi continued to command Zheng's pirates in the name of Zheng Yi's sister-in-law, and also got together with his righteous son Zhang Baozai.
The two were finally recruited by the Qing court, not only did they get a good death, Zhang Baozai also got the official position of deputy general of Min'an, and Zheng Yi's sister-in-law also had the seal of the Qing court, which can be regarded as a winner in life, but now, Zhang Baozai may be just over a year old and still babbling, and Zheng Yi's sister-in-law is only eight or nine years old.
He Xiwen nodded, "Third brother, don't worry!" This Zheng Yi is not a despicable person like Mo Guanfu, as long as we can afford the price and know the righteousness, he will definitely come to take refuge. ”
"Second brother! This matter of contacting the Fujian townsmen and local associations will be handed over to you, and my father also promised you to do his book, and you will have to worry more about the business of Tuntian, Tangliao and Longsheng in the future! ”
"Third brother, rest assured! Second brother must take care of all this and wait for you to come back! ”
"Gong Yan! Secretly contact the people of Annan's Ming Township, as well as the matter of Zhenla Huarao, then please leave it to your old man, Ye Shuwu is grateful, please worry more for me and other people who have lost the country! ”
Yan Zilu is so old, of course he can't bow down to Ye Kai and them, but it's not that there is no way to win them over.
Yan Zilu had a concubine who was fifteen years old, two years older than Ye Sheng, so Ye Kai decisively "sold" his second brother and directly helped him to marry, and Yan Zilu successfully became the father-in-law of Ye Kai's second brother.
"Old decay should do his best, please rest assured Ye Hou!" Yan Zilu, who was wearing a robe, nodded with a serious face.
"Uncle, after I went to Europa with Shengming, this Kuala Terengganu will ask you!"
Zhang Chaorong nodded with a complicated expression, Ye Kai said this, as if Kuala Terengganu was his property.
Ye Kai also looked at everyone with satisfaction, He Xiwen contacted the pirate Zheng Yi for him, Gu Lihuan contacted the Fujian Chinese in various places for him, and dealt with the Ye family's tuntian and business affairs, and assisted Ye Fulai to take care of internal affairs.
Yan Zilu contacted the Chinese in Zhenla and the Mingxiang people in Vietnam for him, with the prestige and efficiency of this old man, when Ye Kai returned, there would definitely be a large number of Mingxiang people for his use.
When he came back from Europe, he brought a large number of mercenaries and gun technology and military spending, and the number of Chinese controlled by the Ye family in Pattani reached 500,000.
。。。。
In the year of Jiachen, the eighteenth day of the winter month of the lunar calendar, the auspicious stars shine brightly, and everything is suitable for marriage.
In the port of Pattani, colorful flags were displayed, gongs and drums were noisy, lion and dragon dances shuttled back and forth, and the dense sound of firecrackers was louder than the sound of guns on the battlefield.
At the port, as soon as the four Canton ships flying the yellow flag of Nguyen Kinen in Quang Nam came to a stop, the whining horns began to sound.
Wearing a red rhubarb Ming-style dress, Guangnan people walked down from the boat like a fish, each of them carried a basket decorated with red flowers, and the cheers on the boat and the shore resounded, and when a person wearing a Ming-style county king dress appeared on the bow of the boat, the cheers were even louder!
"The envoy of the Ming Dynasty to Annan, the brother of the lord of Guangnan of Annan, the king of Tonghua County, Ruan's Fu Tian, three sounds, His Royal Highness Tongming has arrived! Played! ”
A group of Guangnan eunuchs shouted in unison, and the musicians of the music class immediately began to shake their heads and blow a hundred birds and phoenixes.
Ruan Phuc Ying, the king of Tonghua County, is Ruan Phuc Ying's fifth brother, as Ruan Phuc Ying's youngest brother, his main task when he came to Pattani this time is to send his sister Ruan Thi Ngoc Wan to marry, and then take a closer look at the strength of the Ye family in Pattani, and finally bring back the investment promised by Ye Kai by the way!
Nguyen Phuc Anh, who received a large amount of silver money from Rama I, began to recruit troops and build warships again, and the lord of Nguyen, who spent money like water, now has no money.
"The envoy of the Ming Annan Capital!" Ye Kai muttered softly, he was also wearing a red Ming Dynasty champion dress as a groom's dress, but what made him feel a little sad was that he inquired all the Nanyang Chinese families he knew, and there was no one who could make a Ming dress, and this set of clothes was still made by Ruan Fuying and given to him.
Ruan Fuying really followed Ye Kai's suggestion, and quietly picked up the title of the commander of the Ming Annan Capital, and sure enough, as Ye Kai expected, this signboard brought a lot of benefits to Ruan Fuying.
Since Nguyen Phuc Anh put up this signboard, at least 20 gentry and wealthy families in Nanqi and even Zhongqi have sent people to express their favor and support to Nguyen Phuc Anh.
In just these two months, more than 100 Mingxiang people came to Bangkok with their Jiading people to take refuge, and more than a dozen pirates and huidang who were active in the South China Sea also came to join them!
Ruan Fuying felt more and more that Ye Kai's idea was correct, and he was so happy that he couldn't keep his mouth shut recently, but Ye Kai was also very happy, the more Ruan Fuying relied on the people of Mingxiang, the more inseparable Ye Kai was, and the more convenient it was for Ye Kai to penetrate into all aspects of Guangnan!
