Chapter 779: Vengeance
In the blink of an eye, more than a month has passed since Li Hongyu brought Li Yier back to Haicheng, since Li Yier came thousands of miles to join him, then he naturally can't be indifferent, otherwise he won't become a merciless person. Bayi?? Chinese???.? 8?1(8)Z?(a).? C(viii)O(viii)M?
Therefore, Li Hongyu wrote a letter to Zhao Xin, who was far away in Xiaoliuqiu, explaining the reason for the incident clearly, and sent someone to send Li Yier to Zhao Xin with the letter.
If Li Yier wants to enter the door of the Li family, she naturally has to pass Zhao Xin, the mother of the Li family, first, Li Hongyu does this to let Li Yier get closer to Zhao Xin.
At the same time, Li Hongyu also sent someone to North Korea to send a letter to Li Yi'er's father, informing him of Li Yi'er's whereabouts, so as not to worry that Li Yi'er had obviously smuggled out of the house.
As Li Hongyu had guessed before, the reason why Li Yier left North Korea and came to Daming was because of the words he gave Li Yier before parting, so that Li Yier had a place to find him.
In fact, Li Yier once went to the capital to inquire, but he couldn't find out the slightest news about Li Hongyu, Li Hongyu's matter is top secret, not to mention that ordinary people and other important civil and military ministers don't know, and he still uses a fake name, and the outside world can't know it.
However, Huguang Li Sheng was thunderous in Daming, and Li Yier soon knew that he was the first genius in Daming, and it was rumored that he lived in the Jiangnan area.
Therefore, Li Yier resolutely decided to come to Yangzhou to find Huguang Li Sheng, thinking that Huguang Li Sheng was the person she was looking for, but because no one knew Li Sheng's whereabouts, she could only devote herself to the Zuiyue Pavilion, which was close to Li Hongyu, hoping to find out Li Sheng's whereabouts.
In any case, Li Yier would never have thought that the Li Sheng she thought was actually a scholar from Zuo Chunfang University who visited North Korea the year before last, and when Li Hongyu took off her sticky beard, her whole body froze there, and her mind was blank, which was too unexpected.
Although Li Yier suffered a lot in order to find Li Hongyu, she finally found Li Hongyu anyway, and this time Li Hongyu did not refuse to be thousands of miles away and left her by her side.
In fact, when Li Yier saw Zhao Xin, she was even more shocked, and now Li Hongyu's wife turned out to be a scholar of Daming Youchunfang University who she had dealt with in North Korea, and for a moment it was like being in a dream, and finally understood that Li Hongyu did not have a habit of breaking his sleeves, and the reason why he secretly kissed the drunk Zhao Xin at that time was because Zhao Xin was a woman.
It is precisely because she has had contact in Seoul before that Li Yier is much calmer in front of Zhao Xin, and she will not be as restrained as seeing strangers.
Zhao Xin has long known about Li Yier's friendship with Li Hongyu, but Li Hongyu didn't want to provoke the peach blossom debt and deliberately rejected Li Yier thousands of miles away.
Now that Li Yier has worked tirelessly to come to Daming to find Li Hongyu, she naturally can't break up this old marriage, and decided to accept Li Yier as Li Hongyu's concubine.
Mid-September, Haicheng.
"My lord, a letter from Xiaoliuqiu."
While Li Hongyu was working on official documents in the study of his residence, a guard walked in and placed a letter on the table in front of Li Hongyu, and then bowed back.
"It must have been born!" Li Hongyu's face suddenly turned happy when he heard this, and he hurriedly put down the official document in his hand to open the letter, judging from the time, Zhao Xin should have given birth, but he didn't know if it was a boy or a girl.
"I'm a dad!"
Sure enough, Li Hongyu took out the letter in the envelope and glanced at it, then slapped the table with his hand and stood up excitedly, the letter was written by Youlan, telling him that Zhao Xin gave birth to a big fat boy weighing seven pounds, the mother and son were safe, and Li Hongyu was officially promoted to be a father.
"Come on, get ready, go to Xiaoliuqiu." In addition to the excitement, Li Hongyu commanded loudly to the guards standing outside the door.
As the birth of the eldest son and grandson of the Li family, Li Hongyu will definitely go to visit Zhao Xin's mother and son, as for the matter of Haicheng, he will put it aside for the time being, anyway, all affairs have entered the regular process and can be run in an orderly manner.
So, the next day, Li Hongyu sailed out of Shanghai Port on the Hailong warship escorted by several sailors, and sailed towards Xiaoliuqiu.
Yamashita Sakurako went back to Xiaoliuqiu with Li Hongyu, one came to see the son born to Zhao Xin, and the other was to go back to see, after all, she went for two or three years, so she naturally missed her family and friends in Xiaoliuqiu.
"Xianggong, Lord Sun is really interesting, other people's gifts are rare objects, he can pour it and give us a few bags of grain from Liaodong."
The sailing Sea Dragon, the cabin, Yamashita Sakurako said with a smile while peeling apples for Li Hongyu.
In order to build the Guanjin defense line, Sun Chengzong asked the imperial court to buy forty Hongyi cannons from the Wannu Trading House in Macao, and really spent a lot of silver taels to deal with the Houjin soldiers.
Although the Portuguese Hongyi cannons were expensive, their performance was very superior, and after testing the cannons on the outskirts of Beijing, the imperial court withheld 20 guns to garrison Gyeonggi and gave only 20 to Sun Chengzong.
Forty gates was the minimum number that Sun Chengzong needed to improve the Guanjin defense line, but since the imperial court detained it in the name of guarding Gyeonggi, he had no choice but to find another way, and in desperation, he asked Li Hongyu for help, hoping that Li Hongyu could find a way to get him twenty Hongyi cannons.
After receiving Sun Chengzong's letter for help, Li Hongyu readily agreed, and immediately contacted Bu Jialao, the general manager of Wannu Trading Bank, and bought 20 Hongyi cannons from Wannu Trading House at a very favorable price and sent them to Sun Chengzong.
After receiving the Hongyi cannon, Sun Chengzong was very happy, he knew that Li Hongyu did this not only for his face, but also for the defense line outside the Ming Pass, so in order to express his gratitude and respect, he specially asked people to send a few sacks of grains and grains produced outside the gate this year to Li Hongyu, so that Li Hongyu could try it.
After all, Sun Chengzong had no spare money in his hands in order to build the Guanjin Defense Line, so he couldn't give Li Hongyu valuable gifts, and besides, the Honghai operated by the Li family could be described as a famous business name in the Ming Dynasty, and Li Hongyu was not short of gold, silver, jewelry, or something.
Therefore, it is better to send a few bags of agricultural products outside the Guan, the courtesy is light and affectionate, Li Hongyu will definitely be very happy, speaking of which, if it were not for Li Hongyu's surprise attack on Jinzhou City and the bloody battle of Shimen Mountain, Liaoxi may have been lost, and no people dare to continue to live and cultivate outside the Guan, and there will be no those grains and grains.
"Lord Sun broke his heart for the Guanjin defense line, these bags of grain from Liaodong are the best gifts for Xianggong, it can be said that the soldiers exchanged their lives and blood for it."
Li Hongyu knew that Yamashita Sakurako couldn't understand his feelings for Guanwai, so he smiled slightly and explained to Yamashita Sakurako that in just a few years, he had fought several bloody battles in Liaodong and Liaoxi, and it can be said that he was born and died, and he had a special affection for Liaodong and Liaoxi.
"Xianggong, since you are not optimistic about the Guanjin defense line, why do you still support Lord Sun to build it?"
Hearing this, Sakurako Yamashita flashed her beautiful and slender eyelashes, and looked at Li Hongyu curiously and asked, this question has been pressed in her heart for more than a year, and she has never had a chance to ask.
"Why do you say that Xianggong is not optimistic about the Guan Jin defense line?"
Li Hongyu couldn't help but feel a little surprised when he heard this, and then asked with a smile, except for Zhao Xin, he had never talked to anyone else about his views on the Guan Jin defense line.
"It's very simple, if the Xianggong thinks that the Guanjin defense line can resist Jiannu, he will not move those refugees outside the Guanjin to Korea and Xiaoliuqiu."
Yamashita Sakurako knew from Li Hongyu's reaction that she had guessed Li Hongyu's thoughts, so she smiled and explained, "In addition, Xianggong has always advocated attack, but Lord Sun is unable to attack Jiannu, so he built the Guanjin defense line for defense, so that the initiative of the war is in Jiannu, and no matter how good the shield is, it will be broken one day." ”
"Unless the prime minister goes to sit outside the pass, then it is possible to launch a counteroffensive against Jiannu and drive Jiannu out of Liaodong." As she spoke, Sakurako Yamashita looked at Li Hongyu with a smile, "However, Xianggong doesn't seem to be willing to intervene in the war outside the Guan, which is also doomed to the fate of the Guanjin defense line." ”
"Do you want to go back to your hometown?"
Li Hongyu couldn't help but laugh when he heard this, if it comes to scheming, Sakurako Yamashita is on par with Zhao Xin, and he has a calmness that does not match his age at a young age, and then looked at Sakurako Yamashita and asked with a smile.
"Hmm!" Hearing this, Sakurako couldn't help but light up in front of her, and then nodded her head again and again, and a cold light flashed in her eyes, although she grew up in Xiaoliuqiu since she was a child, how could she not miss her hometown, where there were the footprints of her relatives and parents.
Speaking of which, it is really helpless for Yamashita Sakurako to live in Xiaoliuqiu, and the Onizuka merchant group has a powerful enemy in the Wa Kingdom, and the other party has a close relationship with the shogunate, forcing the Onitsuka merchant group to hide in Xiaoliuqiu, so as not to be persecuted by it.
Of course, in addition to homesickness, what Sakurako Yamashita wants to do more is revenge, her parents and many relatives died at the hands of that enemy, and the flame of revenge was buried in Sakurako Yamashita's heart.
It is precisely because of those unbearable encounters when I was a child that Sakurako Yamashita has a different calmness than her age, otherwise how can she survive in this deceitful world, and how to grow the Onizuka merchant group.
If it were Sakurako Yamashita alone, it would not be easy to take revenge, after all, the enemy's power was also very strong, otherwise the Onitsuka merchant group would not have driven the Onizuka merchant group to Xiaoliuqiu.
But there is a providence in the dark, and the young Yamashita Sakurako has an inexplicable hazy affection for Li Hongyu, so she chose Li Hongyu, who was known as Li Sheng at the time, as her husband, which invisibly made her hope of revenge gradually turn into reality.
This is not only because Li Hongyu is Yamashita Sakurako's husband, but more importantly, Yamashita Sakurako knew from the beginning that Li Hongyu wanted to annex the Wa Kingdom and sweep away the potential danger on the side of the Ming Dynasty's couch, and with Li Hongyu's help, her enemy was not an opponent at all.
As a young girl who has lived in Xiaoliuqiu since childhood, although Yamashita Sakurako retains the living customs of the Japanese people, the education she received is Chinese culture, which invisibly makes her have a stronger sense of identity with the Ming Dynasty.
Moreover, the Ming Dynasty is recognized as the superior kingdom of the Celestial Empire in the Eastern world, prosperous and rich, if the Ming Kingdom can become the political envoy of the Ming Dynasty, then it is a rare good thing for the poor people of the Ming Dynasty.
"After two years, let's take Tsushima Island, where the Japanese have been causing trouble to the Ming Dynasty and the coast of North Korea for a long time, and we can't let them continue to be wanton and arrogant." Li Hongyu naturally knew Yamashita Sakurako's thoughts, so he said to Yamashita Sakurako with a smile.
Tsushima Island is the stronghold of the Japanese and the base camp of the Sakurako enemy under the mountain, so he was naturally the first to take Tsushima Island, which not only swept away the Japanese troubles, but also made Tsushima Island a springboard for the Ming Dynasty to enter the Japanese Kingdom.
"Hmm!"
Yamashita Sakurako smiled when she heard this, her face showed a happy look, and she nodded excitedly to Li Hongyu, waiting for two years, the Daming Water Division will be more powerful, and dealing with the Japanese in Tsushima Island is undoubtedly a good hand, and she can finally take the first step of revenge.
