Chapter 57: No Plans

Jiang Ruochen just said happily, he didn't dare to evade all taxes, although the Jiang family's industry has been transferred by a small half, but the foundation is still in Quanzhou, obviously offending Pu Shougeng is simply self-defeating.

Although the Jiang family is in charge of external affairs, no matter how willful he is, he can't risk earning this money, and recently the family has repeatedly convened meetings to assign the task of transferring assets. The Jiang family is a pure businessman, and a stable environment is needed to do business, and after Lin'an surrendered, the Jiang family was alerted.

After discussion, Jiang Gongzi's uncles began to transfer their assets to Vietnam and Malacca, and everyone understands the reason that eggs cannot be put in one basket. But in the troubled times, there are unlimited business opportunities, and now a shipload of spices arrives in Hong Kong, and the price is more than twice the cost, otherwise Pu Shougeng will not be obsessed with the spice business.

Three days later, the Jiang family's spice boat finally arrived at the dock of the Mengjia fishing village, there were four boats, but one of them was empty, and the goods had been emptied by pirates at sea. Jiang Gongzi gritted his teeth angrily on the dock, he really didn't expect that someone would dare to rob the Jiang family's merchant ship at sea, if this was spread out of the Jiang family, it would be a big loss of face.

Within a radius of a few hundred miles, there is only the pirate den of Sanshan Island, and the pirates on the east and west islands have been destroyed by the Meng family's fishing village, and only Xiao Tianxiong's family is left. But this is the sea patrol team raised by Pu Shou Geng, how could he not know the Jiang family's fleet, how could he rob this ship's spices.

Jiang Gongzi, who calmed down, broke out in a cold sweat behind his back, was it ordered by Pu Shougeng, could it be that he was dissatisfied with my Jiang family's recent action of transferring assets, and the warning he put forward was not successful! ordered his subordinates to inquire about the news, and the other three cargo ships did not dare to unload here, and paid taxes and docked at Quanzhou Port according to normal rules.

The Jiang family was furious about this matter, but they didn't dare to go to the city to ask for clarification. Privately, additional people were sent to inquire about the news, looking for evidence of pirate sales, and the whereabouts of spice goods of unknown origin, and so on, and so on, and this matter must be clarified. Sure enough, a few days later, news came from Fuzhou that a local trading house had picked up a batch of low-priced spices, and the seller claimed to be a pirate from Sanshan Island.

Jiang Gongzi discussed with the old man in the family for a long time, but decided to swallow this breath for the time being, and seize the time to transfer the Jiang family's personnel and industry. Regardless of whether Pu Shougeng instructed him to do it or not, according to the current situation and the movements of the Yuan army, Quanzhou is not a place to stay for a long time, and there are hundreds of cargo ships of the Jiang family, so he can achieve a career wherever he goes.

Pu Shougeng really carried the black cauldron, and Chen Yi and others supported Zhao Yu, the king of Yi, to ascend the throne and become the emperor in Fuzhou, and sent an edict to inform him to face the saint. Pu Shougeng knew in his heart that the biggest wallet of the imperial court now was Quanzhou Port, and if he really went, whether he could come back or not depended on what others wanted, so he never went. Although people didn't go, they had to recognize the emperor of Song Duanzong, and dozens of ships were loaded with money, grain, tribute and silver to send to Fuzhou, so that the relationship was eased.

Pu Shougeng sent people north to investigate the military situation in various places, while slowly delaying Fuzhou's growing appetite, and studying the general trend of the world with a group of strategists all day long, how could he have time to keep an eye on several cargo ships of the Jiang family.

And Mu Chenglin in Fuzhou exchanged the silver sold for spices in exchange for a large number of armaments and food supplies, and after escorting them back to Dongshan Island, Mu Chenglin found Zhao Tianyou alone to chat.

"Mr. Mu has worked hard, the population is large, and the food is consumed too quickly." This is a difficult problem for Zhao Tianyou, Dongshan Island is still too poor, although it has robbed Xishan Island's inventory for many years, but it can't withstand the rapid increase in population.

Recently, there have been many routs from the north who have fled from the north, and they have been sent by Zhao Tianyou to receive them. In addition, Zhao Tianyou has always been generous to the soldiers' food, and daily fish and meat are indispensable, so the consumption rate of food is getting faster and faster.

"Zhao Jiaotou's idea is very good, robbing the Jiang family's spice cargo ship, and transporting it to any port can be quickly sold, which not only avenges the revenge of one arrow, but also subsidizes the food and drink on the island. However, the situation I saw from Fuzhou was not very good, although many officials fled to Fuzhou and Emperor Duanzong ascended the throne, but Fuzhou was difficult to keep.

The bows and arrows and leather armor we bought were all from the city guards, and after getting the silver, the quartermaster took off his armor and ran away. The morale of the army and the people is a mess, how to resist the Yuan soldiers who go south?

There is news and rumor that the Yuan soldiers have taken Wenzhou, and they will send troops to Fuzhou in the near future. Boyan's middle road army has already marched towards Jiangxi Road, Shu has been completely lost, and most of the country has fallen into the hands of the Yuan army, and the situation is critical! ”

"Mr. Mu has a broad vision and can see more thoroughly, but what can we do? These people on our Dongshan Island, all of whom are put on the front line to fight with the Yuan soldiers, how long can they stop the 200,000 army? One day? Two days? ”

Zhao Tianyou looked at Mu Chenglin, who had a sad face, and changed his words: "Thanks to the food that Mr. bought back, we won't go hungry, but this is not a long-term method, we have to think of a way to do it once and for all." You can't really be a pirate, go out and rob every day. ”

"Master Wen has arrived safely in Zhenzhou, and I will rush to Fuzhou to wait for the seal in the near future, and I will introduce it at that time, Zhao Jiaotou might as well lead the troops to serve under Lord Wen, and go north together to fight against the Yuan soldiers and achieve a great cause."

Zhao Tianyou laughed and said, "Mr. Mu, are you recruiting for Lord Wen?" If you have the chance, how about you ask Mr. Wen to go to the island and talk about it? ”

"The country is ruined, and I have the heart to go into battle to kill the enemy, but I'm too old to pick up a knife, so it's not as useful as running before and after running to buy some materials. Master Wen is brave and strategic, and there is no shortage of loyal and brave generals around him, but he has been repeatedly excluded in the court and cannot play a role. Although loyalty is a virtue, it makes people's hearts cold, and it is not as good as Zhao Jiaotou to dare to say and dare to do such a pleasure. "Mu Chenglin is indeed unique, and after a long ****** he did business, and he is clear about the current disadvantages of the Song Dynasty.

"Don't praise me, now that we are strong and strong, please ask General Du Hu to come over and discuss it!" Let's discuss these pirates on the main island, how we can attack, after waiting for a long time, our soldiers should be hungry again. ”

Zhao Tianyou made a plan, sent someone to rob Jiang Gongzi's spice ship, and deliberately revealed the identity of the pirate in Fuzhou, wanting to lure Jiang Gongzi to fight with Xiao Tianxiong, and then send troops to clean up the mess. But after waiting for a few days, Jiang Gongzi's side not only did not show his head to seek revenge, but instead contracted in an all-round way and acted more low-key, obviously this plan did not work.

Zhao Tianyou couldn't wait, the Yuan soldiers had already moved south, maybe there would be a lightning raid, and the Mongolian cavalry appeared in Quanzhou at once. When the time comes, it's useless to stay, the combat effectiveness of these more than 1,000 people is good, and it's not enough to fill in the gaps between the teeth.

Since you can't outwit it, you can rely on your strength, and you're still discussing how to attack the main island.

And Xiao Tianxiong, the main island, is in the Juyi Hall, and he has already begun to send troops.
