Part 4 The Maritime Silk Road 19, unpredictable



Under the planning of Xuande Zhenren, after Pang Shangpeng, the governor of Fujian, arrived in Yuegang, he resolved a crisis and resolved the conflict between Tian Youcai, the prefect of Zhangzhou, and Zhai Yin, the county governor of Haicheng, and ended with welcoming the hero of the Yuekong Elder who fought against the Japanese invaders to Yuegang.

That night, Haicheng County Cheng arranged a dinner, because everyone was very tired, hurriedly finished eating, Tian Youcai invited Pang Shangpeng to Zhangzhou Mansion to spend the night, Pang Shangpeng said that he wanted to catch up with Elder Yuekong, politely declined Tian Youcai, and said a lot of hints, let him go back, quickly arrange for tomorrow in the Zhangzhou prefect's yamen to receive Elder Yuekong, and let his guards follow Tian Youcai, go to Zhangzhou Mansion to help.

Zhai Yin arranged a place to live for Pang Shangpeng, Elder Yuekong and Xuande Zhenren at the Haicheng County Post Station, and chatted with everyone for a while.

The prefect Tian Youcai had already understood what Pang Shangpeng meant, and returned to Zhangzhou City with everyone, arranging the next day's activities overnight.

Under the command of Tian Youcai, the officials of Zhangzhou Mansion fought at night, set up a protocol desk on the square in front of the yamen, and sent people to distribute invitations to local officials, businessmen, and gentry; At the same time, you have to deal with Liu Qian's affairs quickly.

In order to take care of Pang Shangpeng's face, the prefect of Tian did not dare to use the yamen's errands, so he sent the bodyguards and family members in his own house, together with the guards brought by Pang Shangpeng, quietly came to the mansion of Liu Daguan, and controlled the family members, maids and bodyguards in Liu Qian's house first, and handed over the guards brought by Pang Shangpeng without much explanation, and sent the Liu family back to their hometown in Nanjing overnight; At the same time, the plaque of Liu's Mansion was changed to Shen's Mansion.

Tian Youcai worked hard all night before he finished dealing with these affairs. Early the next morning, the square of the prefect's yamen fluttered colorful flags, lion danced, dragons tossed, suona, firecrackers rang out, what a lively and extraordinary scene! It attracted all the people of the entire Zhangzhou City.

On the third pole of the day, Tian Zhifu personally led the local officials and businessmen to the ten-mile long pavilion on the bank of the Jiulong River outside the south gate, and waited for more than an hour, an official ship floated in, Pang Shangpeng was still dressed in micro clothes, but his appearance was much better, accompanied by Zhai Yin of Haicheng Zhi County, Elder Yuekong and Xuande Zhenren, he got off the boat with great momentum, and Tian Youcai led everyone to hurry up to meet him......

After the ceremony, Pang Shangpeng and others were invited to get on the sedan chair, through the crowd of people who welcomed them in the middle of the road, and the honor guard entered Zhangzhou City and went straight to the prefect's yamen.

At noon, the prefect Tian Youcai presided over the ceremony of welcoming the Elder of the Moon Sky, invited Pang Shangpeng and the Elder of the Moon Sky to the protocol desk, treated them as honored guests, and began to hold a ceremony to worship the heavens, the earth, and the Buddha, and presented green words and congratulatory watches to the current Holy Wanli Emperor, praising the current balance scene.

Today's Zhangzhou Mansion, under the governance of Governor Pang Shangpeng, is happy and peaceful, Minkang Wufu, and Haiqing River banquet; Thinking about more than ten years ago, it was a picture of hell on earth......

Governor Pang Shangpeng took out a congratulatory sheet written by Zhai Yin to praise the merits of Elder Yuekong:

In the congratulatory table, the 41st year of Jiajing (1562 AD) the Japanese army invaded Fujian, in that year, the Japanese invaders who invaded Fujian and the Japanese who were entrenched on Nanao Island converged, and successively captured Funing, Lianjiang, Ningde, Fuqing and Changle and other places, and then expanded the war to Longyan, Quanzhou, Zhangzhou, menacing, extremely arrogant, the local officials and soldiers fled when they heard the news.

The Japanese burned, killed, plundered, and committed all kinds of evil, and the people fell into misery......

The Zuo Shilang of the Military Department, the Zuo Yushi of the Imperial Palace, and the Governor of Zhejiang, Xiang Mao Zhonggong (after his death) Hu Ruzhen (Hu Zongxian, the word Ruzhen, Anhui Jixi), the military affairs of Zhejiang, Nanzhili and Fujian, urgently ordered the Governor General Qi Jiguang to return to Fujian.

Before the arrival of the Qi army, Li Dingguo, the elder of the moon sky, the eldest disciple of the Southern Shaolin Xubai Zen Master, led eighty Shaolin stick monks to the battlefield bravely, and fought fiercely with the Japanese for seven days and seven nights, Shaolin monks sacrificed most of them and saved countless people, Zhai Yin is one of them.

When the Qi army arrived at Hengyu, due to the danger and impassability of the waterways on all sides, the elder of the moon sky led the people to join hands with the soldiers of the Qi family's army, and filled the trench with a bunch of straw with their hands, and broke the thieves on Hengyu Island, beheading more than 2,200 Japanese robbers.

Elder Yuekong led the Shaolin stick monks to participate in the Qi army, pursued the victory, and after countless fierce battles, broke the widow in Pinghaiwei, and took the nest of the widows, General Qi Jiguang also entered the capital governor Tongzhi, and then promoted to the general army of Fujian, completely pacified the widows in Fujian and Guangdong.

The remnants of the Japanese invaders hurriedly fled to Xinghua, Zhejiang, and the Qi family army did not stop, breaking through more than 60 large camps of the Japanese strongholds, killing countless enemies, and chasing the poor Kou all the way to the city of Xinghua......

After the Elder of the Moon Sky led the army to the palace, he traveled to Fuqing, and encountered a group of Japanese robbers who landed from Dongyingao, designed to block it, and killed more than 200 enemy robbers.

The heroic deeds of the Elder of the Moon Sky and the exploits of the Qi family army reminded everyone present of the years of the wokou disaster, and there were eggs under the nest, which family had no relatives who were tragically poisoned, and who had no property loss......

Such a big move in Zhangzhou Mansion has already reached Zhang Biao's ears, and this kid was still thinking about letting Liu Qian fool Pang Shangpeng, the governor of Fujian, and Pang Shangpeng would look at him differently; Tian Youcai, the prefect of Zhangzhou, helped him subdue his sworn enemy Zhai Yin, and no one would stand in his way in the future; The most dazzling thing is that he also controlled these Western merchants and Shen Qi and other "human criminals", cracked a big case of reselling the ship in Fuzhou City, and waited for the promotion to make a fortune and reap the profits of the fisherman!

Suddenly, I heard that Pang Shangpeng had resolved the contradiction between the prefect Tian Youcai and the prefect Zhai Yin, and that the Elder Moon Sky who "resold the ship" had now become an anti-Japanese hero, and a fierce conflict had turned into a hero commendation conference, and these changes dazzled Zhang Biao.

When the soldiers sent to say that Liu Qian's mansion in Zhangzhou City had been changed with a plaque and had become a Shen mansion overnight, and the family in the mansion had also been replaced by someone from the governor's yamen to guard, Zhang Biao had completely understood that he had become the biggest unlucky guy!

It seems that everything that happened here, Pang Shangpeng, who was far away in Fuzhou, had already seen the fire, and in order not to set himself on fire, he used very clever means to turn bad things into happy events.

Zhang Biao and a group of hardcore brothers who hid on the Jade Pillow Continent, heard that the Liu Mansion in Zhangzhou City was changed to the Shen Mansion, Zhang Biao and the others pondered carefully for a long time, and they couldn't think of any person surnamed Shen in Zhangzhou City, who could have such a big power, and they all thought about it, and they all felt that the owner of this Shen Mansion in the future should be Shen Qi, it seems that this Nanjing businessman is really not small!

Liu Qian must have been finished, and since then he has disappeared from the world; Zhai Yin was already at odds with himself, Tian Youcai could push the responsibility to 265, so what should he do, the more Zhang Biao thought about it, the more he thought about it, the more he was afraid, and hurriedly ordered someone to loosen the ties on those Westerners and Shen Qi, and sent Jia Wang to appease them.

Felipe and the others were beaten to the ground, Shen Qi took out the trauma medicine he carried with him, although it was not much, it could also temporarily relieve their pain, which made Felipe and others quite moved, and at the same time, asked Li Dan to act as a translator, and lost no time in persuading Shen Qi to open a silk factory with them to Acapulco on the other side of the ocean, and talked about the bright prospects of New Spain in the future, and said that Jawang who came to appease them was about to be moved.

Shen Qi didn't expect this trip to Yuegang to be so unlucky, although Li Dan's translation was wild, he still didn't have any mood to think about these issues.

Jia Wang also knew that his backer had fallen, Zhang Biao and others had an uncertain future, and they lost no time in using Western dialect to pat Felipe and others on the back, eager to immediately recognize Felipe as their godfather, which made Li Dan disgusted.

While they were chatting about the new continent, Zhang Biao, who had been in a panic all day long, came, accompanied by an old man who was already in his sixtieth year, and this person was Ma Zhishan, the second Australian lord under Lin Feng!

It turned out that three months ago, in order not to drag Lin Feng and others back, Ma Zhishan was determined to die, with the help of Guo Yi and Xu Ling'er, with more than 1,000 people from Tortoiseshell Port on Luzon Island back to Fuzhou.

Ma Zhishan was also a legitimate businessman in his early years, he was doing business in Yuegang, and was forced by the imperial court's ban on the sea, so he had to fall into the grass, and after getting Pang Shangpeng's forgiveness, he returned to Yuegang and started a small business.

Ma Zhishan returned to his roots, and the government did not pursue it anymore, he was already very satisfied, but unexpectedly, Guo Yi and Xu Linger brought the disabled Qiao lord Li Chenghuai, and those remnants of the defeated generals, as well as the families of those soldiers who originally wanted to be sent to Pattani, to Taiwan in a Dafu boat.

After the dismissal of the commander-in-chief Hu Shouren, Pang Shangpeng treated these surrendered pirates mainly to pacify, and after Feng An, a thousand households stationed in Beigang, Taiwan, sent this group of people to Fuzhou, Pang Shangpeng found that these people were not simple, far from being as easy to deal with as those brought back by Ma Zhishan.

Although Li Chenghuai has the status of the Lord of the Seven Ao, he is already a wasted person, and no one listens to him when he gives orders, and Pang Shangpeng doesn't want to kill, so he has to urgently send someone to invite Ma Zhishan out and guide these surrendered pirates and their families together with Li Chenghuai, Pang Shangpeng was busy with these things a few days ago.

With the help of Li Chenghuai and Ma Zhishan, the government used both grace and power, and finally suppressed the troublesome pirates and their families......

Zhang Biao, the general flag of the Fujian Command Department stationed in Yuegang, seized two galleons from Manila at the Yuegang Wharf, Li Chenghuai and Ma Zhishan were still gloating when they first heard about it, and in their hearts, they hated these Westerners to death, and they were even more resentful of Renya because Li Dan, the broker of the river port market, defected to the Westerners, thinking that this young man had no backbone, and couldn't wait for Zhang Biao to peel off the skin of this group of Westerners and Li Dan, and draw their tendons.

The next day, I heard that Zhai Yin of Haicheng Zhixian County had a conflict with Zhang Biao in order to protect these Westerners, Ma Zhishan wanted to help Zhang Biao secretly, and sent someone to send a letter to Zhang Biao, Zhang Biao left the guard, so he took this group of Westerners and Shen Qi to hide on Ma Zhishan's territory, Ma Zhishan and Li Chenghuai were ready, and wanted to seize the opportunity to humiliate these Westerners and Li Dan to relieve the hatred in their hearts.

At the same time that Zhang Biao got the news that Zhangzhou Mansion welcomed the Elder of the Moon Sky with great fanfare, the people sent by Ma Zhishan also found out the details, the wind direction changed, and the original plan had to change with it, in order to gain a foothold in Yuegang in the future, after discussing with Li Chenghuai, he wanted to take the opportunity to meet Pang Shangpeng and see if he could help Zhang Biao again.

Li Dan saw Ma Zhishan, the owner of Erao, and got up and came over to greet him, but Ma Zhishan turned a blind eye to this, which made Li Dan feel very embarrassed.

Ma Zhishan was not angry when he saw these ghost-like Westerners, the little old man held back his anger, first pointed at the noses of Felipe and others, laughed and scolded one by one, and vented fiercely, making Zhang Biao, Jia Wang and the soldiers guarding laugh......

Although Felipe and the others didn't understand, they still laughed along with everyone.

After scolding enough of this group of Westerners, Ma Zhishan humiliated Shen Qi as a traitor again, Shen Qi lowered his head with a red face, but he didn't quarrel with Old Man Ma.

Felipe could see that Zhang Biao, the leader of the officers and soldiers, seemed to admit it, and he also knew that Ma Zhishan had no good words in his mouth, but he didn't care, and said to Li Dan: "Hurry up and ask this commander, can you return our galleons and goods immediately?" Release our soldier as soon as possible, I can no longer hold him accountable. ”

Li Dan understood that Ma Zhishan, the owner of Erao, looked down on him, thinking that he had defected to the Westerners and became a slave, like a child who had made a mistake, with a stiff face, a head bowed and silent.

Jawan saw the opportunity, like a pug, smiled and bowed to Felipe's approach, and replied in Western: "Lord Felipe don't need to worry too much, this is all a misunderstanding, please believe that we will be able to deal with it, and please Lord Felipe not remember the villain, forget these unhappy things today, if you see our governor, please give us a few kind words." ”

Felipe pointed to the wounds on his body and that of his companions, and said with some anger: "You beat us like this, how can we speak for you in front of your superiors!" ”

Jia Wang's eyes rolled around a few times, his brows furrowed, and he made a look at Zhang Biao, meaning that he should take Li Dan and Ma Zhishan away.

Zhang Biao took Ma Zhishan and Li Dan away, Li Dan understood what Jia Wang meant, and immediately realized that Jia Wang might teach Felipe and others to blame others for the sake of his own and Zhang Biao's future.

I'm not sure if the Liu Mansion in Zhangzhou City has changed to the Shen Mansion, whether it is Shen Qi who refers to it, anyway, I know that Shen Qi is from Nanjing, and the governor has also done business in Nanjing, what is the relationship between the two, Jia Wang doesn't know, but judging from Shen Qi's attitude and expression at the moment, it still seems to be very decadent, and he does not reveal a trace of surprise.

After Li Dan and the others left, Jia Wang decided to probe Shen Qi's bottom first, smiled and gave a deep salute, and said: "Shen Daguan, you have been wronged in the past few days!" Alas, we are not all for the governor of the huge people, Liu Qian is self-inflicted, let's stop caring about him, and I hope that Shen Daguan will ignore his past suspicions, and obey my arrangement, and do business in Yuegang in the future, and ensure that you will not suffer, how about it? ”

Shen Qi cried with a sad face, not knowing which one he was performing, he had a little hope in his heart, so he nodded silently.

"May I ask Shen Daguan, do you know who the old man who humiliated you is?" Jawan asked again.

Shen Qi hurriedly shook his head, indicating that he didn't know.

Jawan rolled his eyes and continued, "That's the ancestor of a gang of pirates who just escaped from Luzon, a heinous demon!" In the future, whether you see Zhai Zhixian, or Lord Tian, or our governor, if you want to be saved, you must bite to death It was this group of pirates who kidnapped you to Jade Pillow Continent, you say this, it can be regarded as a great help to the governor and the lord, and it can be regarded as a relief from the siege of Lord Zhai Zhixian and Tian, understand? ”

Shen Qi didn't know what to do, and nodded again in confusion.

After getting rid of Shen Qi, Jia Wang began to enlighten these Western merchants in the same way, saying that with his own efforts, he could return their merchant ships and goods immediately, and when he asked them to meet the governor of Fujian in the future, he said that he had met those pirates who fled back from Luzon, and the pirates robbed their merchant ships and goods, kidnapped them to Yuzhenzhou, and beat them to the current situation, this pirate leader is the little old man who had just insulted them, Ma Zhishan, the second Australian lord under the command of Lin Feng! And Zhang Biao chased the officers and soldiers to Yuzhenzhou in order to save them.

At the same time, Jia Wang also lost no time in flattering Felipe, persuading Felipe to abandon Li Dan, saying that in the future, he would serve as a full-time translator for Felipe and others, and with his relationship between the government and business in Yuegang and Hong Kong, he would definitely be able to make these Westerners earn a lot of money.

Felipe silently
