Gu Junen had no choice, since he was brought to Zhoushan, he knew that there was no chance to return to the Shun army. It's not how loyal he is to Shunjun, but how many years Shunjun has been the most glorious time in his life.

From being a down-and-out revenge on a scholar who could not be used, to being appreciated by Li Zicheng and being able to influence the pattern of the world with an idea at will, and getting an important position in the nascent regime, it is not an extravagant hope that Xuan Ma worships the prime minister and rules the world.

Therefore, there is a special feeling for Li Zicheng and Gu Junen, who reuse him, so when Niu Jinxing saw that the situation was not good, he fled privately, and after Song Xiance was captured and surrendered, only Gu Junen was still trying his best to save the situation.

However, the mansion has been irretrievable, and Li Zicheng, the leader who has lost his trust, has lost his trust, and there are not many people in the Shun army who are willing to listen to him. For example, Hao Shaoqi, a partial general in the original Shun army, was afraid that his seizure of power would affect the control of his army, so he hurriedly sent him to Chen Yue, the Duke of Qi.

Gu Junen didn't resent Hao Shaoqi, nor did he resent Chen Yue, there was too much helplessness in life, and there was nothing to complain about.

Gu Junen knew that the Shun army in its heyday had fallen into such a situation, which was really beyond the power of manpower, and he had no choice, that is, Chen Yue did not get him to Zhoushan, and the final outcome was not to perish with the Shun army, but only to go into hiding, because the Ming court and officialdom would never tolerate him as an outlier.

And now, in the Zhoushan Army, maybe he can still be useful, and with Chen Yue, the Duke of Qi, maybe he can run out of a new future.

If you can't resist rape, then enjoy it to the fullest, which is also a different experience in life.

Like Gu Junen, there are many people who are helpless, such as the crew of the captured merchant ship.

The merchant ship was captured by the Zhoushan army, and even the ship and crew were brought to Zhoushan Island, and everyone was worried.

Although it was the officers and soldiers who captured them, not the pirates, many times there was not much difference between the officials and the bandits.

All the owners and cronies of the merchant ships were imprisoned and detained, but Chen Yue did not embarrass these ordinary crew members. Because he needs these people to work for him. With so many sea ships to trade in the Wa Kingdom, Zhoushan naturally does not have so many experienced manpower, not to mention manpower, even the fire captain who can know the route cannot find a few.

At Fu Chun's suggestion, Chen Yue decided to leave all these crew members behind and steer the ship for him. Among the crew members who were captured, there were many acquaintances of Fu Chun, such as Guo Linfeng, who met Fu Chun and had known each other for many years, such as Sima Nan, who was just a deck washer when he was under Yan Siqi, and now he has become a captain who travels back and forth between the Ming Dynasty......

Hearing that Fu Chun had become a subordinate of the Duke of Qi, these people were shocked, compared to Fu Chunhai's qualifications, they could only be regarded as juniors.

"Brother Fu, although the Duke of Qi is heroic, but with so many maritime merchants at once, I am afraid that the eastern coast of Zhejiang will launch an earth-shaking shock."

Guo Linfeng said with a wry smile, the prestige of the Duke of Qi and the heroes of the sea are also faintly known, after all, they are the heroes who repelled the Manchu Tartars and protected the Ming Dynasty. But the sea is not on land after all, and no matter how heroic you are in battle on land, you may not be able to play well at sea.

What's more, not all of the merchant ships are these men who go to sea, and there are powerful owners behind every merchant ship, most of whom are wealthy gentry from various provinces. They're just selling their lives.

Fu Chun smiled mysteriously when he heard this: "Do you know who Qi Guogong is?" He is the Duke of the Ming Dynasty, the commander of hundreds of thousands of troops, the red man in front of the emperor, I heard that His Majesty the Emperor intends to marry his only daughter to him.

Do you think such a person would do anything to merchant ships for no reason? This little cargo on the ship is just a small amount of money in his eyes, how can it be put in his eyes. ”

"Brother Fu, are you saying that it is not the Duke of Qi, but His Majesty the Emperor?" Sima Nan on the side said in shock. If it is from the emperor's will, it will be completely different, although these gentry are powerful, who dares to fight against the emperor!

Fu Chun just smiled and said no more. Many times this is the case, the more you hide and stop others from believing it, the more desperately you try to explain others, the more suspicious you will become, and with Chen Yue's identity and status, can you explain to these poor crew members?

Although all this is Chen Yue's private behavior, it is Chen Yue, the Duke of Qi, who has taken a fancy to this huge sea profit. But these people who go to the sea are far away from the imperial court, where do they know the inside story of the imperial court, all they see is Chen Gao's lofty identity and status in the emperor's heart.

Maybe it was because these gentry and gentry were making too much trouble and smuggling too much, so the emperor sent the Duke of Qi to clean them up. Guo Linfeng and Sima Nan glanced at each other, and their hearts were suddenly stunned.

"But Brother Fu, you know, we people are just working hard for others to make some hard-earned money, and all this has nothing to do with us." Guo Linfeng pleaded with a pleading, he was afraid that he would be implicated, Fu Chun was now doing things for Qi Guogong, and he should be able to speak for himself.

"Don't worry, what the Duke of Qi and the emperor want to deal with are these smuggling maritime merchants, and they won't embarrass you." Fu Chun comforted, "But you are not completely innocent, and if it weren't for your smuggling, it wouldn't be so rampant." It is also necessary to wear sins and make meritorious contributions to make up for their mistakes. ”

"What does Qi Guogong want us to do?" Sima Nan heard a lot of information from Fu Chun's words, and couldn't help but ask.

"With so many merchant ships, they can't stay in Zhoushan, and when the monsoon rises, they can be sold for a sum of silver to increase the income of the imperial court.

At present, the imperial court is officially eventful, and soon the northern expedition will be sent to smash Huanglong, and the soldiers on the front line need weapons and food. If you can help Qi Guogong transport these goods to the Wa Kingdom, it will be regarded as a meritorious service, and you will not be blamed for your past mistakes, and maybe Qi Guogong will find an official position for you, and it can be regarded as a glorious ancestor. ”

"Brother Fu, don't worry, we were going to go to the Wa Kingdom, since the Qi State can use us, of course there is nothing to say." Guo Linfeng suddenly put his mind at ease and patted his chest and reassured. As for the half-official position that Fu Chun said, he didn't expect it at all, and he still wanted to be an official because of his identity? Dream on!

Sima Nan also agreed again and again, his mind was more important, and after carefully tasting Fu Chun's words, he vaguely understood something. Maybe Qi Guogong didn't plan to do anything to his people at all, but just wanted to work for him.

"It's just that the brothers are forced to go to the sea, after all, every family has a big family to support." Sima Nan said tentatively.

"Don't worry, what treatment those gentry treated you before, Qi Guogong will also give you the same, and you won't let your family go hungry."

Fu Chun's words made Sima Nan's thoughts immediately confirmed, maybe there was nothing about the emperor and the imperial court, all of this was the personal behavior of the Duke of Qi. But so what? Only you can earn money, and it makes no difference who you give your life to.
