Xu Ling'er went to Beijing to report on his work and brought back the national treasure of the first emperor, Wang Chong asked for merit, not only failed to get the award, but was reprimanded by Liu Shouyou, the commander of the Jinyi Guard.

Back then, in order to prevent the news of Luo Amin's return to China from spreading, Wang Chong and Guo Yi only reported the matter to Zhu Xizhong, the commander of Jinyi Weidu and the Duke of Chengguo, but Liu Shouyou, the second-in-command of the commander at the time, did not know about it, which led to many misjudgments when he handled the cases of Cai Dezhong and Huang Bingwen.

It was not until after the death of Zhu Xizhong, the Duke of Chengguo, that Liu Shouyou took over as the commander of the Jinyi Guard, that he fully grasped the details of the Lin Feng Pirate Group and Luo Amin's imprisonment in Nanjing.

After all, Guo Yi is the goddaughter of his predecessor Chengguo Gong, Liu Shouyou still has affection for their couple, although he did not blame them on the surface, but secretly gritted his teeth with hatred.

In Liu Shouyou's opinion, those pirate strongholds will have an accident sooner or later, and he is ready to catch the mistakes of Wang Chong and his wife at any time and punish them heavily.

During Luo Amin's secret detention in Nanjing, Wen Tao went to see her, and after leaving Nanjing, he immediately went to Ryukyu to find Ma Wu, and announced that Lin Feng had died in Jinjiang Bay.

Under the leadership of Wen Tao, the Ma Wu merchant group took over most of the strongholds, and even took Ma Wu and others to the capital quietly, and made a promise to Wang Chong that the shopkeepers of all the strongholds would be honest and do business, and would never work for pirates and pirates again.

And Wang Chong accepted the lesson of the counterinsurgency on Iki Island, once he ordered the eradication of these strongholds, it would inevitably lead to the indiscriminate killing of innocents, so even if Liu Shouyou had a lot of complaints about him, he still did not take rash action.

In fact, with the assistance of Chen Yuanhua, the treasurer of the Ningbo stronghold, Wang Chong has long been familiar with these strongholds, and has monitored them through his subordinates all over the country, so in the past few years, there has been no trouble.

At this time, an earth-shattering news suddenly came, and the pirates picked up Luo Amin at the dock of the Wei Canal in Tianjin.

What's even more incredible is that Lin Yiguan, the head of the Satsuma Kou, is not dead, but has now changed his name to Lin Feng, and is recruiting troops from the Tianjin Guard to try to take over the stronghold he has laid out, and happens to meet Hai Rui's official ship at the canal wharf.

After the commander Liu Shouyou learned the news, he sat in command overnight, first forced Wang Chong to hand over the list of strongholds, and then ordered him to rush to Tianjin Wei immediately to arrest Lin Feng and Luo Amin and others.

At the same time, Zhu Hui, Hai Rui and others, with the cooperation of the local Jinyi guards, immediately launched a city-wide search.

When Wang Chong and others arrived in Tianjin, it was already dark, and they saw Hai Rui and the local county order at the canal wharf, at this time, the Wang shopkeeper of the Tianjin stronghold had been arrested, Lin Feng and others absconded overnight, and when Zhu Hui was ready to assist Wang Chong to go south, he was arrested by Jinyi Wei from the capital.

Under the protection of Xiao Ke, Zhuang Gong and others, Lin Feng's family of four fled to Cangzhou overnight, and did not dare to contact the shopkeeper of the local stronghold, so they found an inn and lived quietly.

It was nearly noon, Lin Feng was awakened by the noise on the street, and hurriedly woke up his wife and children.

Lin Feng hurriedly held his daughter in his arms and took out a pastry to make her happy, Luo Amin looked at the father and daughter painfully, his mood was extremely complicated, and he didn't know what to say......

Ah Ying touched Lin Feng's beard and asked timidly, "Mother, how did Daddy grow like this?" ”

Luo Amin couldn't hold back any longer, tears spurted out at once, and he replied with a whimper: "Ying'er, you can live to the age of five safely, all because the Bodhisattva is blessing our mother and daughter......"

From last night to now, no matter what Lin Feng says, Luo Amin hasn't said a word to him, and when he heard her start talking, Lin Feng couldn't help but burst into tears.

"Amin, I have wronged your mother and daughter over the years, and all the mistakes are my fault! However, don't forget, I'm trying to avenge your Luo family......"

Luo Amin hurriedly rushed forward, snatched Ah Ying away, put her on the bed, pounced on Lin Feng and gave him two big slaps, and at this time, Ah Ying was so frightened that she cried.

"How did you die? It's not that he was killed by the thief Yan Shifan and you! Luo Amin said, pulling out his sword like crazy, eager to stab Lin Feng to death with a sword.

Lin Aying jumped out of bed and hugged her mother's legs, Lin Feng took the opportunity to snatch the sword from her hand and hugged the mother and daughter tightly into his arms.

Luo Amin lay on Lin Feng's shoulder and cried: "My father was originally a student of the Hanlin Academy, if there was no accident back then, maybe he would have been able to enter the cabinet to worship the prime minister......

"It's all to blame Hu Zongxian, this bastard!"

"Hateful, hateful! Why did Hu Zongxian find him to persuade Xu Hai to surrender? I hate Yan Shifan, a dog thief, even more, let him be your liaison with Yan's thief party......"

Cursing Yan Shifan loudly, the sad Luo Amin cried bitterly, recalling the past events......

Back then, when the government and the opposition heard that Emperor Jiajing was going to abolish the crown prince, King Yu, as the crown prince, was very frightened and wanted to ask Yan Song, a powerful minister of the court, to intercede for him, worried that his private actions would be discovered by Dongchang or Jinyiwei, so he had to disguise himself, bring a few entourages, carry a box of gold bars, and quietly knock on Luo Wenlong's door.

Luo Amin, who had just turned eight, opened the door of the house and asked, "Uncle, who are you looking for?" ”

His father Luo Wenlong, who was standing behind him, ran forward and welcomed King Yu and others into the house, and as soon as Luo Amin closed the door, he was pulled by his father and knelt down in front of King Yu.

"Xiaguan Luo Wenlong knocked on King Yu's Chitose, I don't know if King Yu is missing when he arrives, please forgive Chitose."

King Yu helped Luo Wenlong and whispered, "Please help you contact Yan Ge Lao to save me!" ”

Luo Wenlong knew very well the situation of the crown prince Yuwang, and also understood his intention, so he hurriedly bowed down and replied: "I know, please rest assured that Yuwang Chitose will go to see the prince of the small pavilion overnight." ”

King Yu was very moved, hugged Luo Amin gently, smiled and asked, "Child, what is your name?" How old are you? ”

The mischievous Amin stroked Yuwang's beard and replied, "My name is Min'er, and I am eight years old this year. ”

King Yu nodded and said, "Okay! Min'er has grown up and must be a beauty who has fallen into the country. ”

Luo Wenlong wasted no time in replying: "When Min'er grows up, let her participate in the palace draft." ”

So, King Yu smiled and said, "After the matter is completed, let Min'er enter the palace and study with the princesses." ”

"Xie Yu Wang Chitose! Wechen is grateful! Luo Wenlong hurriedly bowed to the ground and kowtowed.

With the help of Yan Song's father and son, King Yu retained the status of the crown prince, and he also fulfilled his promise to Luo Wenlong, and Luo Amin was accepted into the prince's palace and read to the princess.

Suddenly, one day, Luo Wenlong took her home from the prince's mansion, and sent the whole family back to Huizhou Prefecture overnight, at that time, Amin was just a teenager, and later, their family moved to Ningbo, some people say that Luo Wenlong took the pirate as a concubine, and her mother was angry to death, so her two sisters twisted to Satsuma Qiumu Village.

Since then, she and her sister Ah Ping have never seen Luo Wenlong again......

Before returning to China, Luo Amin heard that King Yu ascended the throne as the emperor, and still had a soft spot for her, and also had a lot of fantasies, during the period of being taken care of by Hai Rui in Nanjing, she thought that Lin Feng was really dead, and was full of hope to be summoned by Emperor Longqing, so she was also very cooperative with the care of Zhu Hui and others, and assisted Ma Wu to take over Lin Feng's stronghold, which was considered to have passed five years peacefully.

Now, Lin Feng has suddenly returned, but Emperor Longqing has already driven west, Luo Amin's heart is very dazed, and he doesn't know what his fate will be in the future?

When Luo Amin stopped crying, Lin Feng said with a smile: "Amin, you will still be the Lord of the Forbidden City in the future. ”

Luo Amin had long lost his ambition and replied in a low voice: "I have been praying every day and night, praying that the Bodhisattva will bless your soul, bless my sister, bless Wen Tao, and bless our daughter to grow up safely, and now that you are back, I have no desire ......."

At this time, someone suddenly knocked on the door outside, and Lin Feng asked vigilantly, "Who?" ”

"Lord O, it's not good! Jin Yiwei has already chased after him, and the shopkeeper of the Cangzhou City stronghold has been arrested, and he is preparing to search for the whole city. Zhuang Gong replied.

Lin Feng opened the door and sighed: "I wanted to be good, but I couldn't help but the wind didn't stop!" ”

Everything was packed up, Zhuang Gong and the others put on the carriage outside the inn, and before the Jinyi Wei raided, the group hurriedly left Cangzhou City.

"Where are we going now?" Luo Amin asked.

"Dengzhou Mansion, there will be a boat to sit in Dengzhou Mansion." Zhuang Gong replied.

Lin Feng judged that all the strongholds would be destroyed, and hurriedly replied: "Dengzhou Mansion and Jinan Mansion can no longer go, immediately go west, go south along Kaifeng Mansion, go to my hometown, and go to my own uncle Lin Daoqian." ”

When Lin Feng and others went south along Kaifeng Mansion, Wang Chong led Jinyiwei to start collecting the net, except for the shopkeepers of the strongholds in Cangzhou and Tianjin, the shopkeepers of the strongholds in other places fled with the crowd when they heard the news, and all gathered in the direction of Fujian.

After more than a month of travel, Lin Feng and others came to Guangzhou, but they got the unfortunate news that his uncle Lin Daoqian had died.

At his peak, he had hundreds of merchant ships traveling to and from Chaoshan, Taiwan, Ryukyu, Luzon, Pahang (now eastern Malaysia), Malacca and other places.

Wang Zhi colluded with the Japanese to invade the coastal area of the Ming Dynasty, and was beheaded in Hangzhou after Zhao'an, and Lin Daoqian, who lost his official position and dismissed, took in the remnants of Wang Zhi's defeated generals, and continued to gather the mountains and forests to resist the official army.

In the forty-fifth year of Jiajing of the Ming Dynasty (1566 AD), Lin Daoqian led more than 50 warships to occupy Nanao Island at the junction of Fujian, Guangdong and Taiwan provinces, and then attacked the Zhao'an area, was defeated by the famous general Yu Dayou, and retreated to Beigang, Taiwan.

After occupying Chaozhou, in the second year of Longqing, Lin Daoqian and the sea thieves in eastern Guangdong joined forces and began to attack Guangzhou, and their momentum was extremely huge.

At that time, the imperial court dispatched Yu Dayou, the chief soldier of Guangxi, to come to clean up, and when Lin Daoqian and Zeng Yiyi's allied forces met the officers and soldiers, they sent people to Macao for help because they had no bottom in their hearts, hoping that the Franco machine man could help them resist the officers and soldiers, but unexpectedly, after the Franco machine man who thought it was a friendly army arrived in Guangzhou, he gave Lin and Zeng the allied army a head-on blow.

It turned out that in order to tie up with the Ming court, the Francophiles who occupied Macao cooperated with the local officers and soldiers in Guangzhou to wage war against the pirates, although they were small in number, but they had advanced firearms and skillful tactics, and before Yu Dayou arrived, they actually defeated the pirate coalition army that was more than ten times more than them.

After this battle, Zeng Yi was killed, and Lin Daoqian led the remnants of the defeated army to flee back to eastern Guangdong.

Due to the meritorious work of the Franc machine people in helping the officers and soldiers of Guangzhou to suppress bandits, the imperial court allowed them to live on Macao Island for a long time, and in this way, the Franc machine merchants had a stable base, and the trade began to flourish.

Lin Daoqian fled back to Chaozhou, although at this time the imperial court had already lifted the ban on the sea and allowed the sale of East and West, but his business was becoming more and more difficult, and he was always facing the encirclement and suppression of the government.

As a last resort, in the fourth year of Longqing, Lin Daoqian asked the local government to surrender, and the Chaozhou prefect did not dare to make decisions on his own, so he reported the matter to the imperial court.

Not only was the Lin Daoqian clique strictly controlled by the government, but it was completely inferior in its business in Chaoshan, Guangzhou, Taiwan, Ryukyu, Luzon, Pahang, Malacca, and other places, and in the competition with the Franco-Rang merchants.

In March of the first year of Wanli (1573 AD), the imperial court sent Zhang Yuanxun, the chief soldier, to besiege Lin Daoqian's base in Chaoyang, preparing to put them to death.

Lin Daoqian was self-aware and understood that he was desperate at that time, so he took out 500 gold bars to bribe the officers and soldiers, and asked them to lie to the imperial court: "Daoqian threw himself into the water and died."

Therefore, when Lin Feng and the others arrived in Guangzhou after going south, they found that this place was almost the world of the Francophone people, and there was no place for them......

During his stay in Guangzhou, Lin Feng heard that the shopkeepers of various strongholds fled to Fujian, and in western Fujian and Chaoshan areas, there were still many old departments of Lin Daoqian, so in the spring of the second year of Wanli, he took Xiao Ke, Zhuang Gong and others to Chaozhou.

After temporarily settling down in Chaozhou, Lin Feng set himself up as the lord of Daao, and sent people to Quanzhou, Zhangzhou, Fujian and other places to gather the old department, and personally went to meet Ma Zhishan, the owner of Erao, under Lin Daoqian, and invited this old gentleman to help.

As early as when Lin Feng was trafficking muskets from Manila to Japan, he had dealt with Ma Zhishan, and the old man also admired Lin Feng very much, and the two hit it off, and soon found a lot of old departments.

Ma Zhishan knew that the government would never allow them to survive on the mainland, so he suggested that Lin Feng break up his team into pieces and use Nanao Island as a base to compete with the government, and in terms of maritime trade, he could also effectively fight the rival Franc Jiren.

Lin Feng followed Ma Zhishan's advice, and on the way to Nanao Island, he held his daughter A Ying in his arms and looked at the vast sea from afar, only to see thousands of sails of merchant ships on the sea, and flocks of seagulls chasing the waves and dancing, and he had ambition in his heart......

Under the blowing of the sea breeze, Ah Ying shrunk into her father's arms, and asked with crystal eyes, "Daddy, where are we going?" ”
