Chapter 464: Kill

Seeing that it was getting dark, Zhao Yu hurriedly ate a few mouthfuls of food under Wang De's urging, and asked the scribe to sort out the materials he picked out into a book, and then asked Xiao Huangmen to light candles all over the pavilion to prepare for the night battle. www.biquge.info He found that there was too little information about the geography of Quanzhou, such as the sea conditions, the port, and the depth of the waterways, as well as the layout of the city, the direction of the streets, the roads around the city, and the dangers. What annoyed him even more was that there was no simple map, and the names and locations of ancient and modern places had changed, so that he couldn't even figure out the exact location and couldn't make an accurate judgment.

"Wang De, you immediately have people copy dozens of copies of my handwritten handwriting, and send it to the generals and soldiers from Quanzhou in the guards and pro-army overnight, so that they can write everything they know according to this, the more detailed the better, don't be afraid of trouble, there is a reward for writing well!" Zhao Yu pondered for a while, picked up the pen and wrote a few lines, and then handed it to Wang Dedao.

"Your Majesty, many of the prefects of Cai's mansion and the head of the village and the scribes in the mansion are also from Quanzhou, and they also know a lot about it, do you want to send it to them together?" Wang De looked at the matters listed on the paper and suggested to His Majesty.

"Well, you reminded them that you can give it to them as well." Zhao Yu nodded after hearing this, and said, "Cai Wanyi, Liu Zhu, Huang Xianyao, Lin Zhiwu and the Zhuang brothers are all local snakes in Quanzhou, and they must be more familiar with it, so let them enter the palace in three days to meet them!" ”

"Yes, Your Majesty, the little one will do it!" Wang De was praised and said happily.

Zhao Yu waved his hand and asked Wang De to hurry up, and he breathed a sigh of relief when he looked at the books and papers scattered all over the ground. After he discovered that the information was limited, he thought that Quanzhou and Qiongzhou were 3,000 miles apart, and even if spies were to be sent to collect the required information immediately, even if everything went well, it would take as many as 20 days to go back and forth, and it would be too late at all. However, he quickly thought that there were many generals and soldiers from Quanzhou in his army, and these people were born and grew up in Si, and they knew the geography of their hometown very well, and they were simply living maps, so they could write down what they knew in more detail than those spies had examined, so he came up with such a method.

In this way, Zhao Yu put this item aside, and turned his attention to the various forces in Quanzhou, and as the largest snake Pu Shougeng was of course in the first place, so all the information mentioned in it was checked out, and this is also an extremely cumbersome work, but these materials are related to the bureau, in order to keep secrets, and to ensure the safety of those spies, of course, the fewer people who know, the better, so he is unwilling to fake others, so he can only work harder, so that he can also familiarize himself with the content of these materials as soon as possible.

"This old boy lives quite freely, not to mention that he makes more money, and he is even bigger as an official!" Zhao Yu rummaged to himself as he flipped through a dozen of the materials he picked up, and he actually admired Pu Shougeng's way of 'being a man' in his voice......

Quanzhou's commerce is highly developed, and the bulk commodities exported are silk, ceramics, copper and ironware, and Quanzhou's spring satin, while the imported goods include pearls, ivory, rhino horn, frankincense, jibei cloth, shell yarn, etc., among which the main imported commodities are spices and medicines. There are often more than 10,000 large and small merchant ships docked on the Jinjiang River and in the port. Due to economic, military, and political needs, coupled with the mercantile tradition that had been formed during the Great Mongol period, the princes and nobles of the Yuan Dynasty were very interested in profitable activities, including overseas trade, and used large sums of money to promote them. Quanzhou was blessed with the right time, place and people, and soon became the primary port for overseas trade in the Yuan Dynasty.

Pu Shou Geng, who made great contributions, was particularly rewarded by the Yuan Dynasty, when Dong Wenbing, the general of the Yuan army, led his troops to arrive in Quan, he was good at explaining the golden tiger charm and giving Pu Shou Geng, which was later praised by Yuan Shizu, and personally awarded Pu Shou Geng as the general of Zhaoyong, the governor of Fujian and Guangzhou, and the envoy and the promotion of Fujian and Guangdong City. In March of the following year, Pu Shougeng was appointed as the governor of Fujian Province. In August, Pu Shougeng was appointed as the secretary of Fujian Province, Zuo Cheng, and obtained this senior position of Zheng Erpin, and was ordered to "pacify the coastal counties".

The Yuan Dynasty allowed officials to use their power to do business, and they originally ran Quanzhou's foreign trade, and now they are high-ranking provincial officials, so of course they continue to use Quanzhou as a base to develop personal and family businesses, and become officials and businessmen. Soon after the Yuan Dynasty gained the right to rule Jiangnan, Pu Shougeng immediately proposed to "issue an edict to recruit overseas Zhufan", and Kublai Khan personally issued an edict of grace. Therefore, he sent his eldest son Pu Shiwen and others to make use of the influence of Pu Shougeng's "barbarian countries in the South China Sea are not afraid to obey", achieved good results, and opened up a new situation in the relations between China and the countries in the South China Sea.

Last year, Pu Shougeng sent his subordinate You Yongxian to summon the southern neighboring countries, and "the countries of Zhancheng and Mabal sent envoys" to China, and envoys and merchants from various countries also came one after another. Through the recruitment activities, the overseas transportation and trade of Quanzhou Port is thriving, and there is a prosperous situation in history, and it has become a big port in the world, and it is famous all over the world as "Thornton Port", and the business of the Pu family is naturally getting bigger and bigger, and it is full of money.

"These people deserve to be killed, especially this kid!" Zhao Yu used a red pen to tick the names of several people, and filled in the book of life and death for Lord Yan.

Pu Shougeng's reduction is more for the benefit of his own family, but it is still difficult to accomplish it with the strength of one clan alone. He operated in Quanzhou for 30 years, almost monopolized the domestic spice business, and earned countless money. He also knew that only by colluding between officials and businessmen could they do business for a long time, and that only by spending the money they earned together could they be safe, so he used money to open the way to buy off local elite groups and won their support, so that he had a great influence on local politics and defense.

It was the support of Xia Jing, the commander of the Wuwei Left Wing Army who lived in Quanzhou for three generations, Tian Zhenzi, who had the right to dispatch the Quanzhou army, Lin Chunzi, who awarded Dalu Huachi in Yongchun County for aiding the city, Yan Bolu who "returned the whole city to his hometown", and Pu Shougeng's henchmen Sun Shengfu, You Yongxian, Wang He, Jin Yong and others, that made Pu Shougeng have the confidence to dare to close the city gate, refuse the Son of Heaven outside the city, and kill the clan and scholars who greeted him. And his eldest son Pu Shiwen personally led the private army to hunt down and kill the Great Song clan, and the methods were extremely cruel, breaking their limbs and torture before killing, so these people were all listed as must-kill by Zhao Yu.

"These people can't stay either!" Zhao Yu hesitated for a moment with the tip of his pen in his hand, and then ticked the names of several people.

After Pu Shougeng surrendered to the Yuan Dynasty, he not only attacked the remnants of the Song division with the Haibo Jiaoyuan Army he owned, but also paid great attention to those former ministers of the Song Dynasty who were nostalgic but did not participate in the struggle against the Yuan. Zhuang Mishao, the former Ji'an Zhizhou, and Zhuang Mida, the former Langzhong of the Criminal Department, were elected as Zhaoqing Road Zhizhong and Guangzhou Road Zhizhong respectively; The Song dynasty princes who were spared for some reason were later no longer pursued, and even appointed as officials, and his strategy played a positive role in stabilizing the situation and consolidating the rule, but of course it also had a bad impact on the dynasty, leaving them behind is the bane......
