Qin Shouye never thought that he would run into the army of the imperial court, more than half of his life was spent in the turbulent times at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, whether it was the official army of the Great Yuan or the Ming Dynasty, they couldn't take care of the sea, but such an unlucky thing, how could he have encountered it.

Smuggling goods is a small matter, but it can attack the official and military, this is going to lose his head, if he dies, the family property will not be given to that bastard brother.

Qin Shouye heard the man next to him say that he was a pirate, and immediately kowtowed: "Master, the villain is not a pirate, the villain is a maritime merchant from Mingzhou, and he brought some goods to sell to the Wa Kingdom and Goryeo, you don't believe that you can let people see that there are still goods brought back by the Goryeo and Wa States on the ship." ”

"Maritime? Have you ever taught taxes to the imperial court? Ma Du had already interrogated a prisoner, and he still knew a lot about the situation of this group, "You know best what kind of person you are, but this official will not say much." Anyway, attacking the officials and soldiers of the imperial court is tantamount to rebellion, and it is to punish the nine clans! ”

"The villain really didn't attack the officers and soldiers, he just wanted to ...... I want to come over and have a ...... with the officers and soldiers Say hello, well, by the way! ”

The reaction was quite fast, Ma Du was amused by him, and said with a smile: "Just greet him with a bow, crossbow, knife and gun?" If you are slower, you will all climb the boat, and these weapons alone will be enough to make you raid your family and exterminate your clan. ”

Naturally, the Ming Dynasty will not have the law that kitchen knives must be registered, but weapons are not agricultural tools, and no one is qualified to have them. ”

"These are all used for self-defense at sea, and the villain will never dare to take them ashore!" Qin Shouye didn't tell a lie, they usually put weapons in the open sea.

"The governor of Pontus doesn't have time to fight with you here, so hurry up and cut it down, so as to save the court the trouble of trial."

Speaking of which, Qin Shouye couldn't care about quibbling, "The villain is guilty, and he thinks that he still has some family backgrounds who are willing to atone for their sins with money, and the benefits of the governor are naturally indispensable." ”

Ma Du scolded in his heart, this bastard thing is finally on the road, he has real evidence to send this person to the guillotine, but so what, it is not the slightest benefit to the navy.

From the very beginning, Lao Zhu gave the navy a halter, and when he got to the shore, he had no law enforcement power, even if he copied his home, it would not be the navy's turn to copy. Besides, the wool is out of the sheep, and they have been killed, where will he shear the sheep?

"Bastard, do you think it's still Meng Yuan to forgive sins with gold? Now it's the Ming Dynasty, I, Emperor Hongwu Shengming, how can there be such a bullshit law, and I want to bribe the governor of Pontus, and there is one more crime! ”

"Then what should I do, and ask the governor to show me a clear way, and the villain will copy it." Qin Shouye is not a fledgling hairy boy, this governor didn't cut him down as soon as he came up, that is, it was useful to keep him.

"When you go to Yingtian's city to pay ten years of taxes, the governor of Pontus will no longer care about your attacks on the officials and soldiers."

Qin Shouye was dumbfounded, he even planned to take out 10,000 taels of silver to settle the matter, which was already a lot of money, but he didn't expect that this white and pure young man in front of him was about to bite off one of his Qin family's arms with one mouth.

"Dudu, this is really unreasonable, the Ming Dynasty has only been established for three years...... Yes! ”

Before Qin Shouye finished speaking, he felt that his left wrist was grabbed, and with a click of his finger bones, there was a heart-piercing pain, and Mao Xiang lost his arm, "I really don't know what to do, you are guilty of the crime of raiding your house to death, and the governor gives you a chance to live, and you dare to bargain." ”

Ma Du said: "The city is only a tax rate of one out of ten, you can't use your family to go bankrupt, you go back and list the ten years of arrears one by one, and our city can not collect money from unknown sources." Don't try to fool Pontus, how much you can earn in a year, just flip through your books. ”

Qin Shouye endured the pain in his hand and kowtowed: "The villain knows, he will not dare to deceive the governor." ”

"You write another confession to write clearly about the murder and robbery of ships over the years, and the governor of Pontus, who can't remember, will ask the sailor to help you think, don't forget to write another letter to your Lao Tzu, if you don't receive the tax payment receipt from the city department within ten days, you know what will happen!"

Mao Xiang asked Qin Shouye to take him down, "The governor asked them to pay ten years of taxes, isn't this punishment too light." ”

Ma Du took a sip of tea, "Then what can be done, our navy is not weak, but it is too small in the vast sea." If this bite is too hard, they jump over the wall and break the jar and run away to become pirates, it will not be cost-effective for us, and if we want to shear the sheep, we have to take care of the sheep and raise them well. ”

The three escaped merchant ships crashed into Liao Yongan's gun and were taken back to the base in Zhoushan to be guarded. In addition to waiting for the receipt of the other party's tax payment, they also kept it secret, so as not to let the Japanese know the news of the navy and scare them away.

The Navy took this time to rest, in addition to completing basic training every morning, in the afternoon is leisure time, the greatest pleasure is to eat grilled fish, while watching the Japanese woman ** dance.

Ma Du was the first to hear that there was a woman from the Japanese Kingdom on the captured merchant ship, because the unlucky ship was not allowed to bring women, as for how to deal with it, Ma Du did not need to worry about it, and the soldiers would let her die in the high tide.

Hungry men lined up outside the tent, waiting to vent their long-accumulated lust, Madu passed by, and when he heard that it was not "Ya Yan Butterfly" but "Don't", he rescued her.

This Japanese woman knelt in front of her without saying a word when she saw Ma Du, and when she helped Ma Du take off her pants, she also showed her dexterous little tongue, she obviously misunderstood what Ma Du meant.

Madu rejected her enthusiasm, and after talking to her, he learned that she was the daughter of a small lord in the Southern Dynasty, whose father had been killed in the war with the Northern Dynasty and the land had been annexed.

As for her Chinese, she learned it from Han Chinese sailors, in order to attract guests from the Ming Kingdom, because the sailors of the Ming Kingdom were more generous than those down-and-out samurai, no wonder her Chinese was mixed with Fujian and Zhejiang accents.

Madu felt that the navy needed a Japanese interpreter, so the Japanese girl escaped from the guns of the soldiers. After she washed off the makeup on her face, Madu found that she was not bad-looking, and she also had a name that made Madu déjà vu, ***.

Zi lived up to his name, and he had a great mind to benefit the public, and the soldiers did not provoke her because of the military order. She even secretly went into the business of a soldier, and the price was very fair, only ten copper coins at a time.

Ma Du realized that he had underestimated her ability, and she could solve problems for dozens of people every day with a multi-pronged approach, she was either counting copper coins in a clanging anyway, or humming and chirping to earn copper coins.

A soldier with a lewd smile on his face touched the chest of the *** son, and threw a few copper coins at her feet by the way, "Don't jump lightly, take off, take it off!" ”

As soon as Zi pulled the cloth belt on her body, the wide kimono slipped down, and there was not a single strand on her body, and she walked around with her round ass naked, and one by one copper coins were thrown on her body.

Liao Yongan smiled and patted Ma Du and asked, "So you are not afraid of breaking military discipline?" ”

"If a prostitute in the Japanese country can break the military discipline, don't want this military discipline, I promised them that they can play with women when they go to sea, and they are not Ming women anyway. I can see it now, as long as they can hear the order before they arrive, it is enough to dare to fight and fight, if they have the ability to kill the Japanese country and the main island to rape and plunder, they can let them go! ”

Liao Yongan smiled, "Do you really have no enmity with the Wa Kingdom?" ”

"Of course there is, the Japanese slaves killed my compatriots and kidnapped my sister in my Daming, how can you say that you have no enmity with me!" Of course, there is hatred, Ma Du grew up in Nanjing, and his hatred for Japanese slaves is needless to say.

Liao Yongan smiled and said: "I didn't expect you to be a little bookish, so I'll accompany you to take a bad breath!" ”

After a rough calculation, if he pays ten years of taxes, it will cost almost 120,000 taels of silver, which is not much for his Qin family, and three generations of the family are begging for a living at sea, if they can't save millions of family wealth, they don't have to do this work.

It's just that most of the family property is acres, houses, and shops, and 120,000 taels almost hollowed out his Qin family's cash, I have to say that the other party's bite is very accurate, and it hurts people's hearts to drop blood, but they can't die.

According to Qin Shouye's estimate, most of his father wanted to grit his teeth and admit it, but he gave the mother and son the opportunity to attack him, and the family property in the future will be much less.

Seven or eight days passed in a daze, and before dawn on this day, a guy woke him up, he opened his eyes impatiently, and was about to scold when he heard the guy say: "Young master, they are gone!" ”

"Who's gone?"

"The officers and soldiers are gone, our ships are also left, and the goods brought from the Wa Kingdom and Goryeo are not missing!"

"Really?" Qin Shouye lifted the blanket on his body and sat up, "You said they were all gone!" And left the ship and cargo behind? ”

"The little ones are real, and the brothers are busy repairing the ship. By the way, a note was found on your ship. The guy took out a note from his sleeve, "The little one doesn't know the words, see for yourself!" ”

Qin Shouye glanced at it and knew that it was not a message, but a tax payment receipt from the city department, a full 120,000 taels. He sighed and said, "With such officers and soldiers, I'm afraid that the sky is going to change at sea." ”

"By the way, the young master you bought the widow girl is gone, and I have searched for it on all ships, but I have never found it."

"It's better to save bad luck if you don't have it!"

Ma Du set off with the navy, naturally to fight the Japanese invaders, but it was not to go north to the main island of the Japanese country, nor was it an unknown island that could be hidden everywhere in the vast ocean, there was no navigation positioning or inner ghost guidance, and it was too difficult to find these small islands.

The place he is going to now is called Penghu, and in later generations it will also be called Taiwan, and there is no doubt that Taiwan has been Chinese territory since ancient times. Since the Three Kingdoms, Sun Quan sent 10,000 sailors to the east to establish Taiwan's belonging, and since the Sui and Tang dynasties, there has been an increase in exchanges, and more and more Han people from the southeast coast have moved to Taiwan.

In both the Song, Yuan, and Ming dynasties, many Han Chinese moved to Taiwan to escape the war, and tens of thousands of Han people settled in Taiwan at the end of the Yuan Dynasty and the beginning of the Ming Dynasty. During the Yuan Dynasty, the official office "Penghu Inspection Division" was set up in Taiwan for the first time, and the Ming Dynasty also set up the Inspection Department in Taiwan in the first year of Hongwu.

Listen to the name to know that this is not a big yamen, later generations said that it is probably equivalent to the county public security bureau, and the same as the Yuan Shi belonged to Tong'an County (Xiamen), which is slightly higher than the township level. If there was an intuitive and accurate map for the ruler to see the area of Taiwan, most of them would not be divided in this way.

The reason why Ma Du started the first battle to suppress the Japanese was because there were too many Japanese invaders here, and since the thirteenth hour of the Zheng Dynasty, there have been Japanese invaders in Taiwan, and then it has intensified.

In particular, when northern China was suffering from disasters and wars, the Japanese invaders set their sights on rich places such as Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Fujian, and Guangdong, and Taiwan became a necessary place for them to rob on the road.

Taiwan, an island with a large land and abundant resources and weak troops, naturally would not let go of the Japanese pirates, so it became a transit and supply depot for the Japanese pirates. In particular, this year, the Japanese robbers have been snatched from Shandong to Guangdong, and they have not yet returned, and they are all sharing the spoils in Taiwan and living happily, and according to intelligence, there are almost 5,000 Japanese robbers gathered here.

All Madu has to do is send these 5,000 pirates to hell and then build a naval base in Taiwan. Taiwan is the choke point of the East China Sea and the South China Sea, and sea ships coming from the south to the north have to pass through here, and they are afraid that they will not be able to collect money if they stop it with both hands.

Naturally, the Penghu Zhai Inspection Department could not help the Japanese who cleaned up Taiwan, but Ma Du really didn't expect that they only sent more than 20 people over, and the biggest official was a general banner.

Ma Du said dissatisfiedly: "Your inspection department sent this little man?" ”

Zongqi said a little embarrassed: "There are only more than 300 people in the inspection department, and this time a total of 50 people were sent to listen to the orders under the command of the governor. ”

"Let your men rest in the cabin, and the Governor of Pontus will have them bandaged and healed." Ma Du sat down on the chair and said, "Let's talk about the situation in Taiwan, which is the situation in Penghu." ”

The general flag didn't speak, took out a booklet from his bosom and handed it over, "I'm afraid that I can't say it clearly, so I will compile the situation of the Japanese slaves into a book and ask the governor to take a look!" ”

Ma Du took it and slowly flipped through it, this pamphlet can be described as full of pictures and texts, explaining the situation of the Japanese in Taiwan clearly, and even the topographical map of the place where the Japanese slaves were entrenched, and the handwriting and the words described are very familiar.

He handed the pamphlet to Liao Yongan beside him, and asked the general banner, "Did you provide all the information that the Governor of Pontus received before?" ”

Ma Du had also received a piece of information before, but it was not as detailed as described in this pamphlet, and the handwriting should have come from this person, and even the typos were the same, but it could not be denied that this general flag was a rare talent.

"Back to the governor, my subordinates did hand over a piece of information before, but I don't know if it was the one that the governor received."

"Well, what's your name!"

Liao Yongan patted Ma Du with his hand, "How can you have no memory at all at such a young age, didn't he say it as soon as we met just now, his name is Huang Yuanshou." ”
