Chapter 64: Yan Siqi

Zhang Qianfang is naturally a promise, but he wonders in his heart that Li Dan will have something to ask for himself. Then I saw that my uncle had taken me to Hirado's office, and I felt even more strange.

Yang Tiansheng had just arrived at the door, and a man in his thirties strode out, hugged Yang Tiansheng and said, "Brother Yang, I miss my little brother." Yang Tiansheng smiled helplessly: "Let me go first, I always come to this set." “

The man put down Yang Tiansheng and said, "How can Brother Yang come here to see me today." “

Yang Tiansheng ignored him and said to Zhang Qianfang: "Dali has seen a snail." "The snail is a Japanese official, which means chieftain. Zhang Qianfang pushed the gold mountain and bowed down again, and the big man did not stop him, and said to Yang Tiansheng: "Who are you, little brother." “

Yang Tiansheng said: "It's my cousin's nephew." “

The big man laughed, helped Zhang Qianfang up and said, "I can afford this gift, come on, please inside." “

Entering the room, Yang Tiansheng said with a smile: "Qianfang, the snail is from Haicheng County, Zhangzhou, but the soil emperor of this piece, if there is anything in the future, it is right to look for him." “

The big man also smiled: "Although my Yan Siqi was sealed by the Japanese in Hirado, it is not the same as being discriminated against by them, I will give you a brand, and they will give me some face, otherwise if you anger me, you will talk about it again." “

Zhang Qianfang was overjoyed, took the brand, carefully carried it on his body, and thanked Yan Siqi again. Yan Siqi waved his hand and said, "Thank you, maybe you can drink, and accompany your uncle to get drunk." “

Yan Siqi really said what he said, saying that as soon as he was drunk, the three of them would get drunk together, and the next morning Yang Tiansheng Zhang Qianfang's head was still in severe pain, but Yan Siqi was like no one. He took Zhang Qianfang all the way in several official offices, introduced various Japanese stewards, and said everywhere he went: "This is my nephew, what can't be cold." The Japanese were extremely respectful to him, and they nodded their heads one by one, "Hai".

Yan Siqi has some prestige here, and after he took care of it, Zhang Qianfang was never harassed on the Japanese side again, and the price of copper bars when he bought them was one percent lower than the original. Zhang Qianfang reported all these situations to Zhu Youxiao, and Zhu Youxiao was very happy, and ordered to take two short-handled firearms newly made by the Military War Bureau, and asked Zhang Qianfang to give them to Li Yan and the others.

After Li Dan received Zhang Qianfang's gift, he played with it carefully and found that this was a new variety that had never been seen before, so he asked: "Brother Zhang, where is your short gun different from the common short gun in Japan?" “

Zhang Qianfang said: "Senior, this is the new fire gun made by Ouchi. “

Li Danqi said: "The new fire gun made by the Great Inner Secret, the little brother can actually get it, I don't know what kind of way the little brother has in the Beijing Division?" “

Zhang Qianfang said: "The younger generation is to help the nobles in the Beijing Division to run the boat, if the seniors need to use the way in the Beijing Division, the younger generations can help dredge one or two." “

Li Dan couldn't believe it when he saw him with such a big breath, so he said tentatively: "Can Brother Jinyiwei dredge it too?"

Zhang Qianfang thought that the contact person in Quanzhou now is the person from the East Factory, and the East Factory has the right to supervise Jinyiwei, which should not be difficult. So he replied: "It should be possible to dredge one or two." “

It turned out that Li Dan had a brother who was imprisoned in Jinyiwei's edict prison because of his crimes, and he was about to be beheaded in the autumn, he looked for a way everywhere, but he couldn't find a powerful person, and now when he heard such an answer, he was naturally overjoyed.

So Li Dan told the matter again, and then took out a stack of silver tickets and handed them over, Zhang Qianfang pushed the silver tickets away and said: "Seniors, juniors go to inquire first, whether it is successful or not, how can you collect the money first?" “

Li Danban lowered his face and said: "If you want to dredge, where do you don't need money, you don't need money, how can you rescue my brother, aren't you laughing?" “

Zhang Qianfang couldn't, so he had to accept the silver ticket first. After returning to Quanzhou, he asked the contact person to report the matter, and after reporting to Wei Zhongxian, Wei Zhongxian went to tell Zhu Youxiao.

Zhu Youxiao asked: "What did this Li Tong do to get caught in Jinyiwei?" “

Wei Zhongxian replied: "Li Tong killed people because he saw that the road was uneven and angry, but after all, he killed someone, so he had to ask the Holy ......."

Zhu Youxiao pondered for a while and said: "In that case, let's get him out of the edict first, and see what Li Dan wants." “

When Li Dan learned that his younger brother had been transferred from the edict prison to the Shuntianfu prison, he was relieved at first, and he was even more convinced of Zhang Qianfang's ability. When Zhang Qianfang returned the silver ticket to him, he said angrily: "You obviously look down on me, am I such a person?" This matter should not be mentioned again, can Brother Zhang help get Li Tong out again, I am willing to give this number. As he spoke, he spread his fingers and flipped them in front of him. Zhang Qianfang was shocked in his heart, it turned out to be 100,000 taels of silver, which is big enough.

Zhang Qianfang pondered for a while and said: "Senior, don't hide it, it's not too difficult for the nobles above the younger generation to get Brother Ling out of prison, if you want to exonerate him, then you have to beg others again, and it takes a lot of effort." “

Li Dan hurriedly responded: "No problem, 150,000 taels of silver, in the future, you will hang my flag on the ship, will it be successful?" “

No one dares to rob Li Dan on the ship, and if you want to rob others when the time comes, you just need to lower the flag, which is a good thing. Zhang Qianfang didn't fully agree, but just said that he had to contact the master's family to give him a reply, and he didn't want Li Dan's money, Li Dan forced him to accept it, so he was relieved to let him go.

Soon, the Beijing camp was changed to the Guards, and Zhu Youxiao sent 500 veterans who had experienced the battle array to Quanzhou, and Zhang Qianfang led the water camp. and promoted Zhang Qianfang to the commander of the Guards (Zheng Sipin), Shen Congjing to the Guards (Zheng Wupin), Zhang Lijie to experience the Guards (from the seventh grade), and allowed Zhang Qianfang and others to report their own combat exploits to the Water Battalion. Of course, these are only internal appointments, and they cannot be invented.

Along with the officers and men of the water battalion, there was also a new six-pound cannon made by the Military War Bureau, which was the result of Zhu Youxiao's miniaturization of the Military War Bureau after imitating the Hongyi artillery, using solid bullets or chain bullets, ready to test the effect in naval battles.

Zhang Qianfang suddenly had so many more people and new weapons, so he formed a large fleet of twelve ships, and Yang Tiansheng handed over all his ships to him to take to sea, so that there were more than thirty ships at one time. Under Yan Siqi's care, he now doesn't even have to worry about Japan's purchases, and he trains his subordinates every day, goes to sea to grab goods, trains soldiers, and soon becomes the biggest force on the trade route from Quanzhou to Nagasaki, Japan.
