Chapter 571: The Plot is in the People

A court meeting that originally hoped that the Queen Mother would come forward to prevent Ye Xun from sending troops, but under Yuan Yingtai's righteous rhetoric, it ended hastily.

It's just that what everyone didn't expect was that the biggest beneficiary of this court meeting turned out to be the little-known Huang Bingtian of the Criminal Department.

After that, Huang Bingtian was also covered with countless halos, what anti-leaf fighter, justice vanguard...

Huang Bingtian accepted these sudden glories calmly, and seemed to be not afraid of retaliation from Ye Xun's side at all.

It's just that Ye Gonggong's subordinates don't seem to want to see Huang Bingtian in general, and there is no retaliation afterwards.

In this way, many officials who had opinions about Ye Xun unknowingly gathered under Huang Bingtian.

Not only that, a few days later, Huang Bingtian was directly promoted to the right attendant of the Criminal Department, and he immediately entered the sequence of high-ranking officials in the imperial court.

In an inconspicuous restaurant somewhere in the capital, Liao Chenglong dressed up as an ordinary clerk and sat in a corner of the restaurant, and behind him, there was also a gray-clothed man wearing a hat.

"Tell Huang Bingtian to stop, I'm afraid those people in the West Factory are already eyeing him"

The man in gray spoke, his voice was slightly old, and he also wore a hat when eating, looking sneaky.

Liao Chenglong was a little unimpressed, and said: "Actually, I think this is a good thing, at least he can attract the attention of the eunuchs' subordinates, so that others will not notice us."

"In addition, I'm afraid that the eunuch can't stop the army, how are you preparing over there?"

"Everything is ready, as long as the eunuch goes to sea, he will never want to come back, and the other side can't relax, continue to make noise against him to send troops, the eunuch is such a character, the more opposition we have, the more he has to do the opposite"

The words of the man in gray made Liao Chenglong think so, so the two stopped talking, and after eating something briefly, they left separately.

Liao Chenglong has long been the target of Gao Ren's key surveillance, and even his scholar has been bought by Gao Ren, let alone those who have been in contact with him.

The news that Liao Chenglong disguised himself and left the house had already been sent to Gao Ren, and soon the information of the man in gray also came.

Wang Ping, 52 years old, from Hangzhou, south of the Yangtze River, visited friends in Beijing, now lives at the Yuelai Inn, has no belongings, and is said to be leaving soon.

Seeing this news, Gao Ren's brows couldn't help frowning, to catch or not to catch?

Judging from the fact that this person can directly contact Liao Chenglong, his status should not be low, will he be shocked if he is arrested?

I don't dare to say it elsewhere, on the ground of the capital, once you enter the sight of the West Factory, it will be difficult to get out, so Gao Ren is not worried that he will escape.

Gao Ren just felt that this Wang Ping from Hangzhou, the person he contacted should not be Liao Chenglong alone.

But seeing that Gonggong Ye is about to send troops, if he can't expose the conspiracy of this group, won't he be entrusted by Gonggong Ye?

After pondering for a long time, Gao Ren finally gave up the arrest, and after ordering his subordinates to continue to monitor closely, he sent a letter to Ye Xun, in which he reported to Ye Xun some of the situations that happened in Beijing, and at the same time asked Ye Xun to go to sea cautiously.

The sea is vast, once something happens, there is nowhere to escape if you want to, since this group of people provoked Ye Xun to go to sea in this way, they obviously arranged extremely powerful means on the sea, so Gao Ren wanted to remind Ye Xun to act cautiously.

It's just that Gao Ren doesn't know that Ye Xun's consistent proposition is to speak with strength, and in the face of absolute strength, any conspiracy is useless.

Besides, even if this letter arrived in Jinling, it was already late, because Ye Xun had already led the fleet to sea.

On the vast sea, thousands of sails are contending, the No. 1 treasure ship is in the lead, followed by all kinds of warships, there is no end in sight, there is no need to fight, just looking at this posture, it is enough to make the enemy frightened.

According to the plan, the fleet was to sail directly to Shurijo Castle, the capital of the Ryukyu countries.

In this battle, 20,000 elite naval forces were mobilized, the No. 1 treasure ship participated in the battle, the No. 2 treasure ship remained behind, 30 thousand warships, and various supply ships, a total of more than 100 warships.

This is the largest fleet voyage of the Ming Dynasty since the Three Treasures eunuch Zheng He.

The fleet is led by Tian Siqing, and Ye Xun is only responsible for watching the battle, according to Ye Xun's words, he is there to learn.

Although the imperial court had many complaints about Ye Xun leading the fleet to sea, the military and civilians in Jiangnan gave great enthusiasm and support.

After Shen Changshan donated 2 million taels of silver for military expenses, salt merchants and other wealthy merchants also donated generously, and in a short period of time, they raised more than 3 million taels of silver for military expenses.

The people who signed up to join the army also came from all directions, and the navy was well treated and could win glory for the country, which can be said to be the most ideal choice for every child of the Han family in Jiangnan.

Therefore, although Ye Xun's fleet is gone, Jinling's conscription has not stopped, and the Ming Dynasty has thousands of miles of sea territory, and there are too many navies needed.

Before going to sea, someone watched the sky, and there was not much wind and waves on the sea recently.

To be honest, Ye Xun doesn't believe too much in these people who look at the sky, and always feels that they are divine, but it turns out that the voyage has been almost a day, and the sea is really calm, and the predictions of these people are almost catching up with the satellite.

Seeing that the sun was gradually sinking in the west, the fleet also found a sheltered island and reef as a campsite.

The warships were busy anchoring and camping, but Tian Siqing found Ye Xun.

"Father-in-law, the tail behind is finally gone, if I don't leave, I want to kill them"

Ye Xun smiled slightly and said, "What about the general, how can you not be so patient?" ”

Tian Siqing touched his head and smiled "hehe", and said, "Isn't this a little unbearable!" I've been thinking just now, Ono and Tokugawa are waiting for us, but we just can't go, what will their expressions be? ”

Ye Xun smiled, then his face turned pale, and said: "The Xingming Chamber of Commerce has a very big plan, and if we don't get rid of this cancer, our navy will not be able to get out after all."

Tian Siqing's face also became serious, and he nodded: "The last general is just a little worried, Ono and Tokugawa will not take the initiative to attack us if they don't wait for us for a long time?" And at this time, I'm afraid we won't be able to spare our hands! ”

"Your worries are not unreasonable, I have already ordered Wu Dayong, when we encircle and suppress the Xingming Chamber of Commerce, the Eastern Fleet will cruise between the Sea of Japan to warn the Tokugawa that they must not act rashly, I think with the strength of our fleet, whether it is Tokugawa or Ono, they will not dare to act rashly, the only thing I am worried about now is that I don't know if the people of the Xingming Chamber of Commerce will be fooled"

Looking at Ye Xun with a solemn face, Tian Siqing couldn't help but comfort: "It's up to people to plan things, and it's up to heaven to make things happen, but I think we lost such a big bait, and those people have no reason not to take the bait."

The sea is vast, and Ye Xun's forces have only begun to contact Nanyang, so a lot of information is very vague, so that Ye Xun also has a sense of powerlessness.

It's just that Tian Siqing is right, he finally left Middle-earth, if these people don't take advantage of this opportunity, it really makes people doubt the IQ of these people...
