Chapter 428: The Fight Against the Black Begins
As Shen Changshan said, Jiangnan is different from Liaodong, and if you want to govern Jiangnan in Liaodong, it will not work at all.
However, Ye Xun has his own way of doing things, Jiangnan is the wealth of the imperial court, and it must not be messed up, so he will neither compromise nor act brutally.
This is also the reason why Ye Xun came in a small suit and directly avoided the government and contacted the gang.
The Shen family can stand tall in the south of the Yangtze River, and it is obviously impossible to say that it has nothing to do with black and white.
Ye Xun went to Jiangnan this time, and the rectification of officialdom was just a convenient move, the main purpose was to build a navy, inspect ports, etc., and these things were inseparable from the Shen family, because all the intelligence showed that the Shen family had the largest business network in Jiangnan, and overseas business resources were also second to none, so Ye Xun would come to him first.
"Brother Shen has been to Liaodong, what do you think of the Liaodong Sailor?"
The advantage of talking to a smart person is that when you start the day, he can guess what you're going to say next.
"Is my father-in-law planning to build a water division in Jiangnan? Good thing, if the father-in-law agrees, he is willing to donate a sum of silver taels, there are shipyards in Quanzhou, and there are also in Nanjing, but they were banned by the imperial court in the past, and the scale is too small, but after all, there is a foundation, as long as the investment is increased, it will soon be able to build a large ship with more than 1,000 materials."
Ye Xun smiled, took the initiative to pick up the wine glass and said: "With Brother Shen here, my father can take a lot of detours, and with Brother Shen's wine, I will toast Brother Shen with a glass."
Ye Xun didn't tell Shen Changshan that he had already ordered Duan Yun to take three thousand Liaodong naval divisions and more than twenty warships to the south, and it wouldn't be long before he would turn into the mouth of the Yangtze River to join him.
At present, the strength of the Liaodong Naval Division has exceeded 20,000, and the number of warships has reached 100, but it is necessary to blockade Korea and Japan, so it is impossible to send more naval divisions.
After having a drink with Ye Xun, Shen Changshan still said worriedly: "If the father-in-law does not touch the interests of the Jiangnan government, what you said is not a problem, but I am afraid that things are not so simple!" ”
There are some things that Shen Changshan can't say to Ye Xun so thoroughly, because there are some illegal things, and he also participates in them, just as Ye Xun thought, the Shen family can develop and grow in Jiangnan, if they can't balance both black and white, they can't develop at all.
"Brother Shen reminds that everyone understands the truth that when the water is clear, there are no fish, some people and things can be tolerated by the father, but if the interests of the father-in-law are touched, the father-in-law will not be spared."
"Your Shen family and family have a big business, it is inevitable that you will touch some taboos, but this is not a problem, at least you have not done anything to harm the people, as long as you help your father to engage in maritime commerce, your Shen family will also be the first official businessman in the Ming Dynasty."
"The first official businessman of the Ming Dynasty!"
Hearing Ye Xun's promise, Shen Changshan's eyes couldn't help but show yearning.
Ye Xun's words have been said very clearly, that is, he does not care about what the Shen family has done before, but he must take a firm stand in the future, only in this way will Ye Xun give the Shen family a bright future.
In one sentence to describe Ye Xun's current state, that is, the time is tight and the task is heavy, and when he arrived in Jiangnan, he found that many things were not as simple and easy as he thought.
The two were drinking and chatting, and suddenly a person from the Shen Mansion walked into the hall, bowed down to the two, and said, "Master Qiqi, there is a little beggar outside who said that he came on the orders of his father-in-law."
Shen Changshan listened to the report, his face suddenly sank, his subordinates were really getting worse and worse, why did he report everything? was about to open his mouth to reprimand his subordinates, but Ye Xun suddenly spoke.
"Brother Shen, don't blame him, the person is indeed found by me, Xiao Luo, go and see what's going on? By the way, give the little brother some silver taels"
didn't let the little beggar in, not only to take care of Shen Changshan's face, but also to not want Shen Changshan to know the specific situation.
The little basket behind Ye Xun said yes and walked out quickly.
Shen Changshan also reacted at this time, it must be Ye Xun who is inquiring about something, but Ye Xun has Xichang and Jinyiwei by his side, do you still need beggars to help find out the news?
There was not much time, Xiao Luo went and reversed, and then whispered a few words in Ye Xun's ear.
Ye Xun nodded quietly, then turned to Shen Changshan and said, "I'm afraid I'm going to bother Brother Shen these days, I'm a little tired today, let's drink it another day?" ”
Ye Xun wanted to stay, Shen Changshan couldn't ask for it, so he couldn't help but agree, and then personally invited Ye Xun and Xiao Luo into the back house
Lu Chun was very efficient, and although his army was not transferred at the first time, he took over Ye Xun's five hundred guards before dark.
Jiangnan is not Liaodong, and Ye Xun is not here to fight, so he only brought five hundred guards.
After knowing that his subordinates had arrived, Ye Xun gave Komur an order to prepare for battle.
Ye Xun really planned to do it, and the object of the move was not Yangzhou officials, nor the Cao Gang, but the Yan Gang's headquarters in Yangzhou.
Hu Qi's disciples and grandchildren have already found out that Long Muyun is not in Yangzhou, and the raid on the Salt Gang at this time will definitely have a surprise effect, and the destruction of the Salt Gang will definitely make many people can't help but jump out.
Not taking the usual path, this is Ye Xun's plan, Yangzhou's fight against black, is about to start.
Like the Cao Gang, the Salt Gang Hall is also the same high-sounding, but one is by the river and the other is on the outskirts of the city, and the Salt Gang Hall also has a very chic name "Feiyunzhuang"
Early in the morning, the leaders of the Salt Gang in the vicinity of Yangzhou hurried over with their subordinates.
The boss is not at home, how can these leaders, who rarely gather together on weekdays, suddenly come over?
When someone asked, they found out that they all received news yesterday that the Cao Gang had colluded with the government and was preparing to exterminate the Salt Gang today.
Whether it is the Salt Gang or the Cao Gang, most of them are brave and ruthless people, not to mention the rival gang, that is, they met the officers and soldiers who inspected on the way to transport the smuggled salt, and the gangs of these Salt Gang also drew their swords alike, and now I heard that someone is coming to attack the main hall, so what is it? Before the morning passed, more than 2,000 people came to the Salt Gang General Hall, and the number of people continued to increase.
Long Muyun received the news on the way back to Yangzhou, last night, the subordinate flying pigeon on the Yangzhou side passed a letter to him, telling him that Ye Xun had arrived, so he was in a hurry to come back to preside over the plot against Ye Xun, but he didn't want to get such news halfway, and he was immediately scared into a cold sweat, although he didn't know who planned this incident, but his intuition told him that the Salt Gang was afraid that it was going to experience a life and death catastrophe.
Just when Long Muyun sped up and rushed back, the gate of Yangzhou City was slammed shut, and then in the noise of the people and tourists, the officers and soldiers of Yangzhou City posted the notice of the commander.
"After investigation, there are Xiaoxiao in the city who colluded with bandits and conspired to assassinate Ye Gonggong who hunted on behalf of the sky, and now the officers and soldiers are arresting the assassins, and the passers-by and the people should be patient, if there is a troublemaker, it will be regarded as related to the assassins, and they will be severely punished."
After the notice was posted, the people stopped, and the officers and soldiers caught the thieves in a serious matter, and besides, it couldn't be delayed for long, so wait!
The incident happened suddenly, when the prefect of Ju received the report, the city gate had been closed, this guy was a typical thief, angry and anxious, and immediately came to find Lu Chun
