"Son! You're finally back! In the Ye family's ancestral house, a white strong man ran out of the back room crying.

Ye Kai almost didn't recognize it, is this still his cheap father with a waist circumference of three feet and a trouser length of two feet nine?

How do you feel like a different person, the fat all over the body is basically gone, and it looks weird.

"Quick! Let's go to the ancestral hall now, to the hall of loyalty! With a cry, Ye Fulai dragged Ye Kai's hand and was about to walk in the direction of the ancestral hall.

"Huh?" Ye Kai was stunned for a moment, he had just gotten off the boat now, and his whole body was rancid, and he didn't even wash it!

But Ye Fulai didn't care so much, he said to Ye Kai while dragging: "You are free, I heard that you dare to touch even the queen of France in Europa!"

It's miserable to be a father! What kind of head of the clan is this, this is simply a prison!

The Bugis, the Dutch, the Malays, the Siamese, none of the fuel-efficient lamps, are all fucking waiting for our Ye family to be ruined, I am looking forward to your return day and night! If you don't come back, your grandfather's painstaking family business will be ruined in my hands! ”

Although these words were deliberately said by Ye Fulai in an angry tone, Ye Kai still felt some panic and powerlessness from Ye Fulai's words.

This fat man must have found that being an ordinary Tang patriarch and being a Ye family patriarch who has been transformed by Ye Kai are two completely different experiences!

Ye Kai estimated that in the last year of being beaten everywhere, life must have been very difficult for Ye Fatzi!

。。。。

Zhongyi Hall, when Ye Kai was pulled in by Ye Fulai, it was already full of people, and Ye Kai realized that Ye Fulai did not pull him here on a whim, but thought about it early in the morning.

Ye Fulai, who had already lost his fat body, pressed Ye Kai to the patriarch's seat, and then sat down on a lower chair next to him.

"From today on, my son Shuwu is the patriarch of the Ye family, you clansmen don't have any opinions, right?"

"No, no, Shu Wu is young and promising, it's just right to be the patriarch!"

"Now that there are strong enemies outside and insecurity inside, we need a hero like the young patriarch to take us out of the predicament, how can we oppose it?"

The elders of the houses full of people nodded their heads like chickens pecking rice, if at ordinary times, the Ye family changed the patriarch or something, then it would not have to go through more than a dozen procedures?

Don't you have to push three times and let it go?

But now, the room full of Ye family clan elders can't wait to offer Ye Kai now!

Because these people found that when Ye Kai was there, the Ye family was called a prosperous one, and dealing with Malays and Bugis was like fighting wild dogs!

The royal daughter of the Ruan family also married, and the large reward of the King of Siam was also sent over like a stream!

But Ye Kai is not there, but they have become the wild dogs who were hanged and beaten, if Ye Kai comes back a year and a half late, it will be said that the Ye family still exists.

Ye Xingxin sat in the position of the patriarch calmly, he felt that he was qualified to do it, and it was necessary to do it!

Although Ye Fulai is his father, after all, there is still a layer between father and son, and some things are far from being so convenient, and what he wants is not just to be a patriarch!

He now has five big ships and thousands of French mercenaries, it is no longer suitable to be a patriarch, and the Ye family must reform more deeply.

"Uncles and elders, since everyone loves you, I won't say anything to you, it's just that before I became the patriarch, I still have something I want to ask!"

After speaking, Ye Kai clapped his hands, and Gu Lihuan, who had lost weight like Ye Fulai, walked in.

"I would like to ask, who drove my brother-in-law out of this hall of loyalty?

When I left, I told everyone that as long as I firmly hold the foundation of this big year, I will attract new customers from the mainland, who doesn't take my words seriously? And who sent my soldiers out against the Bugis? ”

As soon as Ye Kai's words came out, the atmosphere in the Zhongyi Hall cooled down suddenly, although everyone knew that Ye Kai would definitely settle accounts after the autumn when he came back, but they all thought that Ye Kai would take his time, but they didn't expect him to ask in this Zhongyi Hall.

In fact, in Ye Kai's original plan, he wanted to take his time, but before entering Beitani City, he first found Ye Huan, Huang Laosi, Chen Wenqi and others to understand the situation, and the information from these cronies who originally Ye Kai left in Beitani, Ye Kai really couldn't suppress the anger in his heart.

In the past two years, the loss of the Ye family can no longer be described in a tragic word, the clan soldiers trained by Ye Kai before leaving with a target of 2,000 people have less than 1,000 people left, and most of them died in the Second Battle of Cameron Plateau.

In addition to the one-third of an acre of land in Pattani City, the settlements scattered to other places in Pattani were basically burned or pulled out.

Although the newly built Anping Dock Fort has been defended by the Tani River, the fertile fields along the river have been destroyed by the Bugis and Malays with sand and gravel, and it is impossible to restore these fertile fields in a short period of time, at least this year, we cannot expect grain production along the Tani River.

In addition, most of the Ye family's sugarcane fields and sugar houses in various places were also burned, although tens of thousands of new customers were recruited from the mainland, but after more than a year of turmoil, many new customers ran away!

In addition, Zhang Chaorong turned against the water again, and as a result, the population controlled by the Ye family did not increase but decreased, and now it is only a little over 100,000, which is 20,000 less than when he left!

In the end, in addition to the Ye family, the second most important town, Tao Gong, was also captured by the Bugis, and the more than 2,000 Tang people of the Ye, Huang, and Chen families in the city who did not have time to retreat were basically not spared, and they were all slaughtered by the Bugis!

This is the largest massacre experienced by the Nanyang Chinese since the Red Creek Massacre in Batavia in 1740, which is simply a slap in the face of this traverser!

What's even more infuriating is that the Ye family, who was beaten in a panic, didn't even have the courage to avenge the clansmen in Taogongcheng, and some clan elders who were afraid of the clansmen's discussions actually forbade everyone to talk about these things, as if this massacre had never happened at all.

But in this way, many people are cold, and to put it in layman's terms, the hearts and cohesion of the Ye family have begun to disperse.

And Ye Kai's previous ethnology to strengthen cohesion was also canceled by the clan elders in the last year of 1786, and what is even more hateful is that some people also colluded with British instructors to set up Ye Fulai.

"Shu Wu! Uncle Jiang is guilty! I shouldn't have been blinded by lard, I shouldn't have listened to you.

I thought that with British instructors and Westerner muskets, I would be able to fight those Bugis crying and shouting mothers like you, but... But who knows, it's not like that at all! Alas, it's all my fault! ”

The air was quiet for a minute or two, and the first to come out and confess was the patriarch of the Jiang family, this old fritter, who was mixed with the ninth uncle Ye Wenxin at first, and escaped the same fate as Ye Wenxin by knowing the times.

Later, he had a good time in the first battle of Cameron Plateau after Ye Kai left, and finally he and a radical faction coerced the Westerners to respect themselves, and set up Ye Fulai, but he didn't do anything serious, and poured out a lot of crooked ideas!

"Uncle Jiang?" Ye Kai looked playfully at the Jiang family patriarch who was working hard to show regret and grief, what does he mean are you still going to let me call you uncle?

"Jiang Yi Festival, Jiang Yi Festival, the patriarch called me Jiang Yi Festival!" A trace of gloom flashed on the Jiang family patriarch's face, and then disappeared without a trace.
