Since the Ming Dynasty, because of its unique geographical location, the moon port has attracted merchants from all over the world to gather, the wealthy businessmen 'private' to build giant ships, sail overseas, and make profits through 'trade', although the government strictly implements the sea ban, but can not stop the trade between the people and the east and the west, so the moon port has the rich side of the "southeast small Suzhou and Hangzhou" said. Visit:..

During the period of Zhengde (1506-1521 AD), due to the prosperity of Yuegang, the Oriental Japanese invaders came to hijack ships and seize goods, burn houses and kill people; Westerners used Huyu Island as a base to lure 'private' dealers to engage in secret trading, forming many gangs that were also merchants and thieves, and the southeast China Sea was not at peace for a long time.

Since General Qi Jiguang cleared the trouble of the Japanese in Yuegang and pacified the southeast sea frontier, in the first year of Longqing (1567 AD), the imperial court set up Haicheng County in Yuegang, which means "the clarification of the sea frontier", on top of the original ancient castle, build the Haicheng stone city, garrison defense.

In order to commemorate the exploits of the Qi family army to resist the Japanese, the merchants of Yuegang raised funds to build a building on the ruins of the battlefield in the northeast corner of Shicheng, and sent the wish of "'wave' Pinghai Yan", and named Yanhailou.

After the completion of Yan Hailou, it became a place for businessmen to gather and celebrate, and later someone ran a restaurant here, Zhai Yin served as Haicheng Zhi County, felt that such a commemorative place became a merchant profit hall, it was really a loss of face for the government, so Yan Hailou was brought under the management of Haicheng County's Ya'men', but still retained the restaurant industry, only for official reception.

That night, after Song He and Wanxi helped Zhai Zhixian expel the gangsters who made trouble on the dock, they entertained them here.

In view of the fact that Yanhailou is located on the bank of the Jiulong River, which is convenient for the reconnaissance of ships coming and going at the mouth of the Jiulong River, after the government took over, a two-story lookout was built on the original basis, and a secret passage leading directly to the county government was opened.

Guo Yi and Xu Ling'er transported the coffins of Lu Yunlong and Wang Chong from Kyoto, Japan, and Xu Yihou and Zhu Junwang were deceived by Konishi Yukichang, Xu Ling'er and Han Xiao'yu' stayed in Japan to continue to save people, Guo Yi immediately led the people stranded in Akimeura, Kyushu Island, Japan back to Ryukyu.

Guo and Xu had helped King Shang Yong get rid of the heart of Wang Mang, and secretly colluded with the Japanese daimyo Oda Nobunaga Ryukyu Prime Minister Ma Liang, when Guo Yi led the Tang ship to arrive at Naha Port, the horse horses, the saddle brothers were the first to get the news, warmly received everyone, and hurriedly sent people to the palace to send a letter, King Shang Yong and Princess Xu personally led the Manchu Dynasty to meet the civil and military, although Guo Yi and others were given great honors, but the attitude seemed a little indifferent.

After the reception ceremony was held in Naha Port, King Shoyong hurriedly returned to the palace with the princess, and did not invite Guo Yi and others to Shuri Castle, which seemed to be very taboo against these people who came back from Japan.

That night, the Tang boat anchored at the dock of Naha Port, and with the help of the Ma brothers, Guo Yi led hundreds of people to the Lin Family Brewery on the outskirts of Shuri Castle.

After settling everyone down, Guo Yi and the others came to the Lin Mansion to eat, and during the banquet, they talked with the horse kick and the saddle brothers about wanting to build a new wharf in Naha Port.

Ma Sho had already been prepared, and immediately said that he had already chosen a place where he could build a natural harbor that could be used as an ocean base for the Moon Sky Elder in the future.

Ma Saddle immediately took over the conversation, and talked about the struggle between the four forces of the Naha clan, the Shuri clan, the Boshi clan, and the Kumi clan in that territory from Feng Shui, and gave countless reasons to express their strong opposition, and the two brothers quarreled.

Because he had seen the attitude of King Shang Yong in Naha Port just now, Guo Yi understood the reason for the quarrel between the two brothers, so he hurriedly persuaded him, and gave up the plan to establish an ocean-going base in the Ryukyus, so he began to find reasons for himself again.

Guo Yi said that considering that the ocean-going business must be supported by legitimate trade, if it can occupy a place in the New World in the future, there must be a large number of merchants and immigrants who can follow up, so as to spread the civilization of Chinese Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism, and achieve the goal of Xuanhua in the four seas.

Since Ryukyu is not a place to stay for a long time, the Tang family can't go back to the Taicang Huangdu Port Trade Base, and after the horse shoes and Saddle brothers left, Guo Yi and Luo Amin, Ma Wu and Lin Shaoqi discussed again, and everyone thought that they could go to Fuzhou to find Pang Shangpeng.

At this time, Guo Yi regretted very much that he had given Pang Shangpeng the two boat guides he had given him to the Manila authorities, and he thought that he had secretly borrowed a warship from Feng An's army to go to Luzon, killing and wounding so many Ming brothers; although the two groups of Ming people who had been rescued from the Tortoiseshell Port in Luzon, many of these people had criminal records, and after returning to the mainland, they did not know how much trouble Pang Shangpeng had caused; now, Lin Feng's gang was still fighting against Westerners on Luzon Island, and there would be defeated pirates fleeing back to the mainland one after another, which would inevitably cause unrest in the sea.

When passing through Taiwan at that time, Guo Yi wanted to go to Fuzhou in person to apologize to Pang Shangpeng, and he took these responsibilities by himself, but he failed to make the trip under Feng An's persuasion, and now he has to go to Pang Shangpeng for help, which makes Guo Yi feel a little reluctant.

Although Lin Shaoqi did business in Fuzhou, he was a wealthy businessman in Zhangzhou. A few years ago, he had been like a fish in water on both sides of the Fujian government and business, from the former governor Liu Yaozhi, down to the Zhangzhou prefect Tian Youcai and Haicheng Zhixian all had 'friendship' feelings, just because their merchant ships were on the way to Japan, they were hijacked by pirates under Lin Feng off the coast of Ryukyu to the port of Tortoiseshell in Luzon, and lost their family funds, although Lin Feng later put him and Xu Ling'er back together, but he didn't dare to go back to his hometown in Zhangzhou, so he followed Ma Wu to Ryukyu and ran the Western Thorn Uncle business with Ma Wu.

Lin Shaoqi's luck is indeed enough to carry it! I hoped that the silver earned from this transaction would return to my hometown to pay off the debt, but I didn't expect that when I passed through Manila, it was just in time for the Lin Feng group to make a big fuss on Luzon, which caused the crazy revenge of the governor of Manila, Lavizares, to massacre the Chinese and overseas Chinese in Luzon, and even the merchants of Annam, Korea, Ryukyu, Japan and other places did not let go.

In Manila, Ma Wu and Lin Shaoqi were imprisoned by the Spaniards, and all the property on the merchant ship was confiscated by the Manila authorities.

Because he didn't have the face to go directly to Fuzhou to find Pang Shangpeng, Lin Shaoqi proposed to ask Guo Yi and Ma Wu to follow him back to his hometown Zhangzhou, he wanted to dispose of the old bottom of the family, pay off the debt first, and wait for Pang Shangpeng's attitude to be clear, and then go to Fuzhou to find him for help.

At the beginning of November, Lin Shaoqi took Guo Yi and Ma Wu to take a merchant ship back to Yuegang, the three of them got off the ship, it was late, after leaving the dock, they entered Haicheng County, and went straight to Yanhailou, Lin Shaoqi wanted to invite Guo Yi and Ma Wu to have a good meal here.

The officers and soldiers outside the Yan Hai Building told Lin Shaoqi that it was no longer open for business, and that Lin Shaoqi had not known about these changes over the years since he left home.

Lin Shaoqi first put on the posture of a wealthy businessman, stuffed some broken silver to the officers and soldiers, and then talked about his 'friendship' with Haicheng Zhixian, the commander of the garrison guard, and even the prefect Tian Youcai......

The officers and soldiers listened to him for a long time, and told him that now in addition to Tian Youcai, the prefect of Zhangzhou, who is still in power, the commanders of Haicheng Zhixian and the garrison guard have already changed several batches of people, and they are still not allowed to enter.

"This prime minister, it's the middle of the night, you let us go to Zhangzhou City to ask the prefect, it's a bit too much, right?" An officer and soldier preached.

Another officer and soldier persuaded: "Today, Yan Hailou is holding a celebration banquet for Chief Wei, please stop making trouble with this minister, we still don't 'touch' the 'nature' of this new chief, don't make us embarrassed anymore, let's take a detour quickly." ”

On the Yanhai Tower, Zhai Yin of Haicheng Zhi County is holding a celebration banquet for Song He, the new chief flag officer of the Fujian Command and Envoy Department stationed in Yuegang, because Song He is a trustworthy brother of Zhai Zhi County, for the defense of Yuegang, he is ready to 'hand' Yan Hailou to Song He for management in the future, therefore, the original county government officer who guarded Yanhailou has just been replaced by the officers and soldiers of the guard.

"Since it is a celebration banquet for your Wei chief, then please invite the chief flag officer of your Wei Institute, or the magistrate of the county, to come out and speak, and ask them if they know who I am Lin Shaoqi?"

Although the officers and soldiers were a little sincerely afraid, because they were afraid of the majesty of Zhai Yin, the magistrate of the county, and were not familiar with Song He, the prefect who had just taken office, they did not dare to go up to report it, and wanted to quickly drive Lin Shaoqi and others away, but Lin Shaoqi was unforgiving.

Ma Wu and Guo Yi didn't want to cause trouble, seeing Lin Shaoqi's unyielding appearance, they quarreled with the officers and soldiers, so they hurriedly persuaded each other, but this usually gentle and elegant Brother Lin thought that he had lost face at this time, and no matter how the two persuaded each other, Lin Shaoqi resolutely refused to give in.

"When this Yan Hailou was built, I, Lin, didn't spend a lot of money, but now that I'm returning from overseas, I don't even have the qualifications to go in for a meal? Go and get your chief to speak! Lin Shaoqi shouted loudly with confidence.

Hearing the noise downstairs, the messenger of the ya'men reported the situation outside to Zhai Yin, and Zhai Yin, in order not to sweep Song He and others, quietly went downstairs and came to the 'door' of Yan Hailou.

Lin Shaoqi could see from Zhai Yin's clothing that this was Haicheng Zhixian, so he hurriedly retracted it, stepped forward to bow and salute, and said: "Lin Shaoqi, a grass man, greets your lord!" After many years of doing business overseas, I just returned to my hometown, thinking that in that year, when this Yanhai Tower was built, I took the lead in donating funds, and personally participated in the groundbreaking ceremony. ”

Zhai Yin heard him say this, knew that it was not a lie, and he didn't know how to answer, so he looked up and down at the three people in front of him, carrying his bags, looking like he had just gotten off the boat.

Seeing that Zhai Yin still had an indifferent attitude after hearing these words, Lin Shaoqi was also angry, pointed to the two beside him, and then said: "This is Lord Guo Yi, the thousand-household official of the Fusi Ya 'Gate' in Jinyi Weibei Town, and this is His Excellency Ma Wu, a wealthy businessman from all over the Ryukyu in the famous town, may I ask this lord, are we qualified to come to Yanhai Tower for a meal?" ”

When Zhai Yin heard this, his eyes widened suddenly, and he hurriedly ordered his subordinates to give way, and they also came up and bowed, and replied loudly: "Everyone, please!" ”

Lin Shaoqi triumphantly entered Yanhai Tower, thinking that Zhai Yin knew his name and gave himself face, so he let them in, and when he entered the 'door', he looked back, Zhai Yin was taking the bag in Guo Yi's hand, 'handing' it to the official next to him, and was bowing to Guo Yi.

"Humble Zhai Yin visited General Guo, I don't know if General Guo drove to the distance, please forgive me!" Zhai Yin arched his hands and bowed his head to speak.

Guo Yi was stunned for a moment, and thought to himself, does this magistrate know him? Seeing that he was so sincere, he hurriedly returned the salute and replied: "Guo came recklessly and caused trouble to the adults, please forgive me!" ”

At this time, Ma Wu also hurriedly gave Zhai Yin a salute, Zhai Yin beat Ma Wu, and found that this young man was imposing and had the style of a wealthy businessman, but he was not very like the Han people in the mainland, let alone the Ryukyuan people, and it was inconvenient to ask more questions now, so he smiled and made a gesture of invitation to Guo Yi and Ma Wu.

Lin Shaoqi saw that the magistrate was respectful to Guo Yi, so he stopped and waited for them, and everyone asked Guo Yi to walk in front and went up to Yanhai Tower together.

Yan Hai set up a dozen tables of banquets upstairs, Song He, Wanxi's husband and wife were drinking to their heart's content, and suddenly saw Guo Yi go upstairs like a dream, and the wine glasses in their hands fell to the ground together, you look at me, I look at you, they are all stunned.

"Wanxi, did I drink too much?" Song He asked.

Wanxi 'rubbed' her eyes and replied, "Mother, I'm not dreaming, right?" As he spoke, he pinched the back of his hand, feeling pain, so he rushed up and hugged Guo Yi.

Guo Yi was defenseless, thinking that he was about to be caught, but when he saw that it was Wanxi, and then he saw that there was Song He, he was overjoyed, and he hugged Wanxi tightly, and asked, "Wanxi, I'm not dreaming, right?" How did you end up here? ”

Song He shouted on the side: "The last general, Song He, meets General Guo!" ”

At this time, Zhai Yin took Lin Shaoqi and Ma Wu to the upper floor, and the officials who went to the banquet and the captains of the guard were all stunned.

Everyone invited Guo Yi to the upper seat, and Zhai Yin hurriedly ordered all the leftovers to be removed, replaced with a new tablecloth, and made tea for Guo Yi and the others first, and waited for the banquet to be held.

When they learned that Song He had become the commander of the Yuegang Guard, Guo Yi, Ma Wu and Lin Shaoqi replaced wine with tea and expressed concern for Song He's new official to take office.

During the tea, they greeted each other warmly, and Song He told in detail what happened to Zhu Hui, Wu Xiang and Tang Jingfu's 'woman', how they returned to Jinling City from Changbai Mountain, and how he and Wanxi accompanied Elder Yuekong and Xuande Zhenren to Nanjing again, and how everyone arrived in Yuegang from Nanjing, until all the new meals were served, they were not finished.

Zhai Yin did his best to be a landlord, got up to toast Guo Yi and others, drank three rounds, everyone chatted while eating, and told in detail about a public case that happened here.

According to Li Dan's account, Zhai Yin knew that the two boat guides were bought by Felipe and others from the hands of the Governor of Manila, and Pang Shangpeng looked at the two boat guides at that time, and made it clear that he did issue them, although the owner of the ship wrote Elder Moon Sky, but it was given to Guo Yi and Xu Ling'er, and now that Guo Yi has arrived in Moon Port, Zhai Yin wastes no time in wanting to know the reason.

According to Pang Shangpeng's attitude towards the two ships held by the Manila galleon to attract Yuegang to do business, as well as his treatment of Ma Zhishan and Li Chenghuai who surrendered from Luzon, Guo Yi knew that Pang Shangpeng was an enlightened high-ranking official and a kind-hearted elder in the official house, so he no longer had any psychological burden, and he also told everyone about some of the past events that happened in the Ryukyu Kingdom, sending Western missionaries to Manila to rescue people, and Zhang Gou'er serving as the vanguard officer of the Ryukyus to suppress bandits in Luzon.

In the middle of the night, Zhai Yin arranged accommodation for Guo Yi, Ma Wu and Lin Shaoqi in the post house, and sent an official ship to Zhangzhou City the next day.
