Chapter 299: Chaos Quiet
Jeju Island was quite far away from Dengju under the navigation conditions at that time, and it took about six days to travel even the fastest sailboat, so Zhao Sanshui's role on Jeju Island was only known after more than a month of Jiang Feng, but when he saw that the ship that came back to contact was full of goods, Jiang Feng couldn't help but smile.
It is also the only way to travel by sea, especially after Cho Sam-su extended the sea surface around Jeju Island to about 200 miles around Jeju Island, and many boats always arrived in front of him every day.
After all, the profits of the sea trade are amazing, and after handing over this percent, it is just a little less, which is better than a few ships that refuse to dedicate, and as a result, they are hit by artillery fire, and there are also a lot of guards on the ship, and when the two sides are on the side, they are beaten by the armored soldiers of Dengju, and in the end there is no one left on the ship, and the goods are emptied, and then the ship is brought back to Jeju Island.
"Okay, I have a lot of ideas, I know how to develop my own financial resources, and I have carried forward the prestige of the Ming Dynasty overseas, Zhao Sanshui has done a good job."
This is the instruction given by Jiang Feng, the supreme leader of the Jiang family, and in addition, he also sent a special letter to Zhao Sanshui, saying:
"Just do it, if you are bullied, you will have your own home to give you anger at that time!"
This sentence is equivalent to giving Zhao Sanshui, who is still a little apprehensive, a guarantee, and also pointing out the direction to other teams outside, especially Jiang Feng's maritime troops.
Incidentally, more than half of the original residents of Jeju Island are now dead, that is, four or five hundred people have survived, and the rest have become the building materials of the port, but the port is barely in some shape, of course, this is mainly repaired, if a port is dug out of thin air, it is estimated that the number of dead people will not be completed by adding a zero, but now the location that has been cleared out can allow three armed gunboats to be moored here, and the ship that was captured was randomly found a natural haven to park there.
Of course, at this time, I also have to say it in advance, and soon Zhao Sanshui regretted his abuse of people's power very much.
Lu Nan's action of hearing the knife has made the Ming army quite incomprehensible, according to the common law, 700 people defeated 6,000 people, killed the garrison, 1,000 large and small troops will be more than a dozen people, and the governor Deng Pu fled back alone. has achieved such a record, and there are also the orders of King Jing and the like, although I don't know whether they are true or false, but the political role is very important in the hands, and the next step should be to capture the cities of Linyi and Feixian, which is to pull the flag and rebel.
You must know that after the 6,000 officers and troops were defeated, the defense near Yizhou was already completely empty, and they could even levy troops on the spot to make the momentum bigger.
I didn't expect that when the more than 20,000 soldiers and horses in Shandong and the soldiers and horses in Xuzhou gradually gathered over, there was no trace of the Wendao Department, and it was not easy for a large army to search in the mountains, especially these officers and soldiers had to beware of the other party's elite cavalry.
But the search into the mountains is nothing, the Yimeng Mountains are not a few mountains of the problem, but a huge mountainous area, in the mountains to find the knife part and the needle in a haystack is very different, but it is not much more difficult to find an iron rod in the lake. Although Yimeng's cottage was when he heard the knife and played the banner, he rushed to come and run.
But when a large number of officers and soldiers entered the mountain, these cottages also rushed to come and defect, and the officers and soldiers got a lot of news, but these people did not have accurate information about the movement of the knife. The helpless officers and soldiers had no choice but to search all the hills that could hide people step by step.
The kittens and puppies have been killed a lot, but the owner doesn't know where to go, and now more than 30,000 soldiers and horses are tossing in Lunan every day, and the most frightening thing is this situation where they don't know anything, and all kinds of messages are spreading.
The most noteworthy thing is that these bandits are already preparing to attack Nanjing, King Fujing ascended the throne in Nanjing, and all the counties and counties in the south of the Yangtze River will be obedient at that time, after this rumor was spread, it was immediately noticed by everyone, even when Liu Liu and Liu Qi were at their peak, they said that they would attack Nanjing, I am afraid that they would be considered a joke, and Nanjing's city defense and nearby soldiers and horses were not a joke.
However, there is a variable of King Jing in this, everything is different, God knows whether there will be an army that will rebel with this pro-domain, and prepare to speculate in the big reshuffle, everyone knows all kinds of things in the Battle of Jingjing, when Zhu Di entered Nanjing, someone opened the city gate for him.
And no one who opened the city gate said that he was disloyal, Nan Zhili suddenly began to jump up, Emperor Jiajing and the envoys of the six yamen are now constantly going back and forth with the Beijing division and the official road of Nanjing, I don't know how many horses are tired of death, and the garrison eunuchs in Nanjing are also mobilized all the forces that can be used in their hands to monitor the nobles in the city and the ministers of the six departments of Nanjing.
The Xu family of Wei Guogong has quite a powerful armed force in his hands, but this Guogong understands very well in his heart that no matter what he does now, he will be suspicious of the imperial court, so he simply calls himself sick and closes his door, and hands over the control of the army to the town guard eunuch and the chief soldier.
Since everyone's eyes are on Nan Zhili and Lu Nan, Jiang Feng is quite easy here, Wendeng's 1,000 soldiers are now left with 400 soldiers to monitor the local salt works, or to be responsible for law and order, and the rest of the soldiers have withdrawn to the Dengzhou camp.
Shandong's salt merchants and maritime merchants are quite well-informed, knowing the news of Jiang Feng's demotion, some people ponder the matter of changing their courts, but the salt merchants and private merchants walking in Lunan suddenly found that even in the most rampant areas of banditry, the banner of Jiang Jiajun is still the most effective.
And Huang Ping of Jining did not make any other moves, he still maintained a normal relationship with Jiang Feng, and many people maintained a cautious attitude, after all, Jiang Feng's example of turning the tables in this situation was in front of everyone, and if he bet on the wrong Poke, he would lose a lot, and now the salt farms around the country are still stationed with Jiang Feng's soldiers.
The imperial court is now completely staring at Nan Zhili, Jiang Feng has already been put behind, first when he heard the knife and rebelled, the soldiers and horses stationed in various places of the Jiang family army were ordered not to act without authorization, and they all had corresponding army arrangements, but even after the Jiang family army was cut in military salaries, there was still no change, which reassured those who were worried. Moreover, the Jiangfeng military camp is well guarded, and there is no possibility of mixing in at all.
Therefore, after deducting the military salary, I still don't know what happened, whether it will cause fluctuations in the morale of the army because of the deduction of military salary.
Now it can be judged that the Wendao bandits must have been operating between Lunan and Nanzhili, and there were a large number of elite soldiers and horses near Nanjing, so there was no need to urgently mobilize Shandong's soldiers and horses and Jiang's army, so the imperial court also relaxed Jiang Feng's there.
After the demotion, Jiang Feng is now quite idle, and the maritime merchants at both ends of the first rat have come to visit him.
Rumors of such a huge ship in the dockyard in Dengzhou began to spread slowly, and the tonnage of armed merchant ships was getting bigger and bigger, and there were more and more swarthy guns on it.
The maritime merchants finally understood a truth, who is the best to talk on the sea now, and it is also for the convenience of the future to go and say hello as soon as possible.
How to distribute the quota of the private salt business These outlaw merchants at sea have also heard of it, and they also want to do this kind of distribution, after all, this cake on the sea is too big now, no matter who can eat it in one bite, and even everyone can't eat it together.
It was originally a matter for everyone to make a fortune, but now the sea is not very peaceful, in addition to those who do business normally in Shuangyu, there are many people who do business at sea without capital, or there is a vendetta between maritime merchants and maritime merchants, delaying making money, why bother.
So it's better to have someone at sea to divide everyone's share and then provide protection. However, this kind of work is probably a little difficult for even the Ming sailors to do, not to mention that the Ming sailors have already burned their own ships and destroyed their own shipyards.
However, Jiang Feng's increasingly large armed merchant fleet and the identity of Xuan He on the shore gradually had the power to make decisions.
Of course, the maritime merchants are so polite, and they also have their own considerations, among these people who came to visit Jiang Feng, there are a few merchants who can fight on the ship, but they are still ready to let Jiang Feng divide the share, for them, instead of being robbed by Jiang Feng at sea at that time, it is better to set the amount of protection money to pay now, and their own subordinates can fight, but you can't even touch the other party's ship, and you will be sunk immediately.
The news of Jiang Feng's demotion did not affect these businessmen at all, they knew in their hearts that even if Jiang Feng was demoted and ran to the sea with the ship, he would still be a giant force, and he would still be the one who said it at sea at that time.
And these people all saw more or less the ship moored in the dock, an almost unbelievably large ship.
Jiang Feng handed over these things to Zhao Xiucai to do, Zhao Xiucai may not be very proficient in the Four Books and Five Classics now, but this kind of system of making money and quotas is very proficient, and all the guests who came couldn't even see Jiang Feng's face, and they were all sent to Zhao Xiucai.
Now Jiang Feng's guests are not expected to be himself, these people are from the reclamation manor outside the Guan.
