Chapter 203: Unexpected Joy

Qin Shou was beaten by Xu Xueju but became honest, and hesitated: "What do adults mean that we don't have to do anything, let him fend for himself?" ……”

Xu Xueju shook his head and groaned: "This old man is also a little incomprehensible, the old man personally wooed him before, he was unmoved, which shows that his ambition is not small, if this son meets Mingjun, he may be able to govern the world, but if he encounters troubled times, he will become a hero in troubled times!" My Donglin Party members Kuang Fu righteousness, if this son is Cao Agui, the next day will become a big trouble for my Donglin Party, at this time, take advantage of its fledgling, take precautions, do not give it a chance to grow, and strangle the threat in the cradle! However, this matter does not need us to take action, Guo Zhiyuan wants to send an envoy to Luzon, can only board the ship from Haichengyue Port, Fujian is the first assistant Shen Yizhong is the first assistant Shen Yizhong's brother, is also an important member of the Fujian Zhejiang Party, I heard that Shen has always hated this Guo Zhiyuan to the bone, want to get rid of it and then quickly, didn't the saint let me Fujian local officials cooperate, the old man repaired a letter, and handed over the cooperation to Shen Yizhong to be responsible, Shen Yizhong will definitely not let Guo Zhiyuan retreat, so that we can borrow a knife to kill, and even if this Guo Zhiyuan really has the courage to be lucky, can complete the mission and return safely, and must think that the person who harmed him is Shen Yizhong, and if he wants to retaliate, he will only retaliate against Shen Yizhong, so as to kill two birds with one stone, no matter whether it is successful or not, my Donglin Party can sit and reap the benefits of the fisherman! ……”

Qin Shou was dumbfounded when he heard this, sure enough, Jiang is old and spicy, Xu Xueju was able to come up with this plan to kill two birds with one stone, which shows that he is scheming, and what is even more rare is that he is obviously making a conspiracy to kill people with a knife, but he can say it so righteously, this skill is really beyond his reach, and he hurriedly gave Xu Xueju a thumbs up and said: "High!" Adults are really tall! With such a clever plan, Guo Zhiyuan has three heads and six arms, and it is difficult to retreat with his whole body, and the lower officials have been taught, and I hope that the adults will mention more of the lower officials in the future......"

Xu Xueju glanced at Qin Shou, and also touched the long beard on his chin a little smugly and laughed!

Guo Zhiyuan naturally didn't know that he had been sold by Xu Xueju at this time, and persuaded Sun Chuan, he had a lot of help in Luzon this time, and his heavy mood was also a lot easier, and when he returned to the county mansion, he saw that Bai Du was pacing back and forth in the flower hall, as if he was waiting for him to come back, Guo Zhiyuan thought that Bai Du was not giving up and still wanted to follow him to Luzon, so he shook his head and said with a wry smile: "Brother Bai, you are really persevering, but I can't take you to Luzon with me no matter what......"

Seeing that Guo Zhiyuan was back, Bai Du hurriedly greeted him, waved his hand and said: "Childe misunderstood, Bai did not come to go to Luzon with Childe, Childe entrusted Gutian to me, how can I not know the severity, but Childe's trip is extremely dangerous, although Bai cannot follow Childe, but he should also try his best to share his worries for Childe......"

Saying that, he took out a piece of jade pendant from his arms and handed it to Guo Zhiyuan: "In the past, when my grandfather went to sea, he saved a person at sea, I heard that this person was doing business in Luzon, and it seems that he is quite powerful, if the son can find this person in Luzon, or can provide some resistance for the son, this person is quite faithful, when the first grandfather saved him, he left this jade pendant as a token, saying that this jade pendant is his life, if the grandfather needs his help, just let people take this jade pendant to see him, he will fight to help......"

Guo Zhiyuan was overjoyed when he heard this, he was worried that he didn't know anything about the situation in Luzon, if there was a person who was familiar with Luzon to help, he would be more sure of this trip, and hurriedly asked: "What is this person's name?" What are the features? Where can I find him in Luzon? ……”

Bai Du scratched his head and said: "Bai has never seen this person, so I don't know what his appearance and characteristics are, but this person is quite powerful in Luzon, and he must also be famous in Luzon.......

"Li Dan?!" When Guo Zhiyuan heard this, he was almost so shocked that he jumped up on the spot!

"Could it be that Gongzi actually knows this person?!" Bai Du was also surprised when he saw Guo Zhiyuan's expression.

Of course, Guo Zhiyuan knew Li Dan, because Li Dan was also a famous pirate in the history of the Ming Dynasty! Li Dan can almost be said to be the second pirate king Wang Zhi, who is also a rich and rival country, with many subordinates, even Zheng Zhilong, the father of the famous hero Zheng Chenggong, was also Li Dan's subordinate, and he was his righteous son, and Zheng Zhilong later became the largest force that almost monopolized the maritime trade along the entire Fujian coast It is said that it was precisely because he killed Li Dan with a conspiracy and swallowed part of Li Dan's wealth and power that he could rise quickly and become the maritime overlord at the end of the Ming Dynasty. Later, it is really uncertain whether Zheng Chenggong had the feat of recovering Taiwan.

Li Dan was originally a businessman in Luzon, and he almost monopolized the entire department store trade in Manila, and also became the leader of the Chinese society in Manila. Slaughter. He was also captured by the Spaniards, and in 1607 he did not find a chance to escape to Hirado, Nagasaki, Japan.

Li Dan, who fled to Japan, quickly seized the opportunity of the newly appointed Tokugawa shogunate to improve relations with the Ming government to make a comeback again, and the power was better than before, and once again became the leader of the Chinese society in Japan, it is said that Tokugawa Ieyasu unified Japan thanks to Li Dan's funding, which shows that Li Dan was powerful and rich at that time, after Li Dan's death, his son Li Guozhu inherited his power in Japan, and also became a huge pirate force in the late Ming Dynasty, and also participated in the Ming and Dutch (Ming Dynasty and Dutch) naval battle in 1633, However, perhaps because Li Guozhu always believed that Li Dan was killed by Zheng Zhilong, Li Guozhu sided with the Dutch in this naval battle and was finally defeated by Zheng Zhilong.

Therefore, Guo Zhiyuan was surprised and delighted when he heard Bai Du say that the person he wanted was actually Li Dan, if he could get Li Dan's help, not only Guo Zhiyuan's chances of winning this mission to Luzon would be greatly increased, but also Guo Zhiyuan's future ambition would be of great help! In history, Li Dan escaped death and ran to Japan to make a comeback so quickly and establish a huge force, and now with the guidance of Guo Zhiyuan, a traverser, he is not a sea hegemon!

Thinking of this, Guo Zhiyuan couldn't help patting Bai Du's shoulder hard, and laughed: "Brother Bai, the person you asked me to find is amazing, with his help, I have a great hope of succeeding in this mission to Luzon!" ……”

There are not many things to prepare for going to Luzon, but fortunately, with the help of Xu Guangqi and Bai Du, Guo Zhiyuan only needs to explain what needs to be prepared, and they will arrange it, and there is no need to worry about Sun Chuanzai in terms of navigation materials, Guo Zhiyuan mainly focuses on the training of the regimental training township soldiers these days, so that they are familiar with the use of flintlock pistols, and at the same time let Sun Fu Jiading teach them the knowledge of naval warfare. Most of them are still familiar with water, so they are not completely blind.

In addition, Guo Zhiyuan also asked the garment factory to produce a hundred sets of brand-new military uniforms, this time to negotiate with the Spaniards, Guo Zhiyuan can only rely on fraud, so the momentum must not lose, Guo Zhiyuan with reference to the style of the modern navy honor guard military uniform designed a set of military uniforms, with a large brimmed hat, golden tassel belt, armed belt, long leather boots, although the protection is not very good, but it is majestic to wear, it looks very bluffing, and the envy of those regimental training village soldiers who have not been selected.

Of course, Guo Zhiyuan couldn't take so many people to Fuzhou directly, which would not only be too eye-catching, but also expose all his hole cards, so he asked the regimental training township soldiers and the Sun Mansion family Ding Yi to disguise themselves and Shen Junrong and Sun Laosan rushed to Haichengyue Port in batches, while he only took Chu Wan'er, Fa Zheng, Shen Lingyu and ten personal guards to Fuzhou to find Xu Xueju, although he didn't expect Xu Xueju to give him much support, but since Wanli gave him a secret decree to let the local officials in Fujian cooperate, of course he had to find a way to get some benefits from Xu Xueju.

Xu Xueju was very enthusiastic when he saw Guo Zhiyuan, grabbed his hand and exclaimed: "The old man knew that Guo Xian's nephew was definitely not a thing in the pool, and he would become a pillar of the country. …… The Luzon chieftain killed the merchants of our dynasty, the old man was also very angry, for this food can not be restless, can not sleep at night, but the whip is out of reach, and the saint does not let the light start of the war, so it has been unresolved, since ancient times the hero out of the youth, this time Guo Xian's nephew sent to Luzon, must be a success, the old man can also be a regret! ……”

Guo Zhiyuan hurriedly said humbly: "Lord Xu has won the award, and the lower officials are not more important, it is really difficult to take on this important responsibility, but since he has been loved by the saints, the lower officials have to do their best, and I also ask Lord Xu to make it convenient and allocate some money, food, materials, ships, armaments, and escort sergeants......"

Without waiting for Guo Zhiyuan to finish speaking, Xu Xueju waved his hand very arrogantly and said: "These don't need to be said by the virtuous nephew, don't say that the virtuous nephew has a holy secret decree, and if I want my Fujian local officials to cooperate, there is no holy secret decree, with the friendship between the old man and Lord Lingzun Guo, the old man will also give full support, before the virtuous nephew comes, the old man has sent a letter to Lord Shen, who is the right to participate in politics in Fujian Province Zhangnan Province, asking him to fully cooperate, and the money, food, materials, and armaments required by the virtuous nephew for this envoy should be allocated first, and elite soldiers should be sent to escort him, Anyway, the virtuous nephew also needs to go to sea from Haicheng Moon Port to Luzon, and at this time, Lord Shen is in Haicheng, and the virtuous nephew goes directly to find him......"

Seeing that Xu Xueju was so good at talking, Guo Zhiyuan was also very surprised, and he couldn't say a lot of words he had prepared, so he had to thank Xu Xueju, and only after being polite did he get up to say goodbye, and then set off for Haicheng.

Although this Haicheng is only a county, but because Haicheng Moon Port is the only port that allows trade at sea during the Wanli period, the prosperity is not worse than Fuzhou, it is known as Xiaosu and Hangzhou, and it is more than Guo Zhiyuan's Gutian County is a heaven and an underground, this is the first time Guo Zhiyuan came to Haicheng County, and he was surprised to see the prosperous scene here.
