Chapter 372: Finally Back
At the end of summer, the fire in the sky seems to have not yet dissipated, and a round of fire emits the light of the fire to scorch the sea, and the sparkling place is vast and boundless.
The sun is still scorching during the day, and the sea breeze is passing through the boat at night, and you can already feel a hint of autumn.
Several towering and tall buildings sailed on the blue ocean, bathed in brilliant sunshine. Hao Hao Tang Tang is like a white dragon floating on the sea.
On the deck of a large ship in the middle is a large bed, a bed that looks comfortable and is made of bamboo strips, and the top of the bamboo bed is made of silk to form a reed shed, which not only allows you to enjoy the sea view and skyview, but also protects you from burning by the sun.
Cao Wei was only wearing the lower half of his clothes, lying on it, his eyes narrowed in comfort, like a lazy cat. There are a few tables next to it, and some seasonal fruits are placed. The beautiful maid in the gauze skirt sat on the left and right stools, twisted a grape with her slender jade fingers and peeled it from time to time, and then stretched the tender flesh to Cao Wei's mouth. And Cao Wei only swallowed with his mouth open, maintaining a lazy state.
These women were originally a lady on a merchant ship, and they were being hijacked by pirates, and the men on the merchant ship were killed, and the pirates only left these women to have fun, but just as they were about to leave, they met Cao Wei's fleet, and the bandit leader thought that this was also a merchant fleet, and leaned up with the idea that one sheep was also eating two sheep, and the result was naturally a moth to the fire, and there was no return.
Several women got out of trouble, and they were grateful to Cao Wei, plus Cao Wei was good-looking, powerful, and naturally caringly served, and went home by the way......
The warm wind and sun, the sea deck, all of this seems to be affected by Cao Wei lazy, the guards are a little drowsy, and Huang Jiong Ningyang and others who are standing next to Cao Wei are constantly yawning.
After helping Shoichi Matsunaga take full control of Sagara Castle, Cao Wei led his soldiers into the sea without stopping and embarked on the road back to Daming.
Homesick, I really can't afford to wait for a moment!
The large ship had a deep draft, and the ship was full of cargo. Before leaving, Cao Wei took advantage of his relationship with Shoichi Matsunaga to exchange a lot of money and jewelry for a lot of goods, most of which were unique to the Wa Kingdom, such as bluestone wood, Yamato dates, etc., and many of them were brought to Sagara by merchants from other countries, such as mountain ginseng from Baekje and mink wool from Silla.
If it weren't for Sagara's unique location, it would not have been possible to see so many kinds of goods at the same time anywhere.
A large amount of gold, silver and jewelry into the Ming Dynasty is not a good thing, and it will have a more or less impact on people's livelihood and commerce, but there is no such disadvantage in turning treasure into goods, and the mutual circulation of wealth and goods is in line with the laws of the market.
After about two months of tempering the Japanese state, the deployment of troops, and the soldiers of the mercenary guards were convinced by their own command, Cao Wei unconsciously wore away the youthfulness, and was replaced by an indescribable majesty, especially with the short beard under the jaw and the slightly tanned face by the sun, this majesty became more and more obvious.
Even if he is too lazy to be unorthodox at this time, he does not show any frivolity.
"My lord, at the beginning of the sunrise today, I just passed through Liusi Island, and more than 100 miles ahead is the boundary of Songjiang Mansion......"
Huang Qiang stood aside and whispered.
How can today's Huang Sanye be as unruly as before, he looked respectful, carefully served aside, looked at Cao Wei lying on the bamboo bed, and his eyes contained respect and a little fear.
Huang Kui never thought that the original life could be so thrilling, exciting and bold, attacking the city and plundering the land, the two soldiers contended, in these days of the Wa Kingdom, Huang Kui has been impressed by Cao Wei, not to mention Cao Wei's strategy and courage, just the fact that he regards his brothers as brothers and sisters makes Huang Kui follow with all his heart.
Doing things under such a character doesn't feel aggrieved at all.
From now on, there will be no more bandit Huang Sanye!
From then on, there were only 100 households in the sea road, Huang Jiong, and 100 households in the sea road commanded by Cao!
"Some of the finishes of Songjiang Mansion will be handed over to you by the official, I hope you don't disappoint the official......"
Huang Jiong was overjoyed when he heard this, and knelt down and said, "Die for the adult!" ”
The closure of Songjiang Mansion includes the business of the Huang family and the Jiang family, and the handling of the remaining pirates in the nearby sea.
Cao Wei said this to make it clear that he handed over the power to Huang Kui, which not only includes the property accumulated by the Huangjiang family for decades, but also includes the control of the nearby sea area.
At the beginning, although Huang Kui also controlled many bandits on Liusi Island, there were also many constraints, and many leaders did not listen to his dispatches, but from now on, everything on the sea will be decided by him without any suspicion or restraint.
Cao Wei raised his eyelids and said: "Leave three points for robbing money, leave money without leaving your life, businessmen and rich people can bully and bully, and you must be kind to the common people, don't let down the official, otherwise the official will come to kill you in person!" ”
After speaking, his tone became heavier and heavier, Huang Jiong heard a little palpitation, he did not raise his head, but knocked his head on the deck, and said: "Humble duty and follow the teachings of adults!" ”
Cao Wei nodded with satisfaction and said, "You go back to Qingjiang County, the official will not go, turn the bow of the ship, cross Songjiang Mansion, directly enter the river from the sea, and go directly to Nanjing through Nantong and Zhenjiang......"
Huang Kui kowtowed again, got up and left.
After more than an hour, the fleet split in two, and only two ships were still sailing on their original course, while the remaining ships adjusted their direction and went with the wind.
It is impossible for such a large fleet to sail along the coast without attracting attention, because the news that the bandits around Songjiang Prefecture have been exterminated has spread, and now the fleet of merchants doing business along the river and coast has gradually increased.
Those merchant ships did not dare to rush forward to disturb, so they had to watch from a distance, secretly guessing the origin.
A flag with the word "Cao" fluttered in the sea breeze, and the sound of hunting and hunting, and people with insight thought of the army that went to Songjiang Mansion to suppress bandits a few days ago, and immediately understood.
The faces of some "well-intentioned people" on the merchant ship changed slightly, and they hurriedly ordered the sailors to turn the rudder and sail ashore, and when they arrived at the wharf, they immediately spread the news, and for a time I don't know how many fast horses rushed to all parts of Beijing......
Cao Wei's fleet disappeared for a period of time, causing many people to speculate that Jinyiwei and Dongchang were searched under the emperor's will, but this fleet disappeared into the sea for no reason.
After some time, the fleet finally arrived at the place of the estuary, gradually, the scenery on both sides of the river bank is clearly visible, many people's cooking smoke rises, fishing boats on the river come and go, and the pedestrians on the shore are endless, so lively.
Cao Wei stood on the deck, looking at this picture greedily, the wanderer returned to his hometown, everything was so kind, no matter how beautiful the other country was, I was a passerby after all, no matter how ordinary Mingxiang was, it was also the place where I fell leaves.
"Finally back......"
