Chapter 129: Another Talent
Listening to Quan Yong talk about the battle, Huang Sheng said: "Very good, Liu Guozheng, you will stay by the side of the official and be a personal soldier in the future." Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info”
"Little Lord Xie take it in!" Liu Guozheng was grateful, and knelt down and kowtowed again.
Huang Sheng said to a man who was standing respectfully on the side, a man dressed as a scholar in his thirties:
"Are you from the Ryukyus? Is it called Shang Muming? I'm afraid that the official can't send you back, are you willing to be the official's family? ”
"The little one is willing, the little one can paint Western paintings, and I want to paint a portrait of the adult, I wonder if the adult agrees?"
"Oh? In this way, you will definitely sketch! ”
"My lord, you know sketching too?"
"Okay, let's not talk about this topic today, how about you teach some teenagers to learn Western painting for this official in the future?"
"Thank you for your love, the small ones will be tireless!"
Huang Sheng knew that the Ryukyu Kingdom in this era was only a small country, belonging to the foreign vassal states of the Ming Dynasty, and the lord of the country was proud of the canonization of the Ming Dynasty.
It's not Japan's Okinawa Prefecture at all, and it's not in a hurry now, and after a few years of development, it will swallow it up and turn it into an exclusive area of its own naval base, which is called Daming Toyo County.
"Your name is Ruan Dan? Good name, not Han, right? Huang Sheng said to another thin man with a little dark skin.
"The younger one is the Han people, and the ancestor of the family is the four-grade military attache of the Ming Dynasty stationed in Annan, and then the family is in the middle of the road, and the younger generation is mixed up at sea as a translator to make a living."
"Translation? How many languages do you speak? ”
"The little ones can speak Mandarin, Dutch, and Annam, and can also write, of course, they are the most fluent in Chinese."
"You will also be the official's family in the future! Not only do I have to interpret but also lead students! I also want to teach students the geography of the mountains and rivers of Annan, and one day, this official will take you and the students to recover the homeland of the Ming Dynasty! ”
"Yes, little one! If there is really a day when the king goes south, the little one is willing to be a pawn! ”
Huang Sheng is familiar with history and knows that Li Li, a native of Thanh Hoa in Annan, launched the Blue Mountain Uprising in the sixteenth year of Yongle in the Ming Dynasty, proclaimed himself the king of Pingding, and called on all localities to oppose Ming independence.
He led a group of monkey-like mountain people to wage a ten-year guerrilla war with the Ming army, and finally Zhu Zhanji, the Xuande Emperor of Xuanzong of the Ming Dynasty, decided to abandon Jiaozhi on November 11 of the second year of Xuande.
Later, Annam gained independence, and soon after, Le Ly established the state as emperor and established the kingdom of Dai Viet, which is the origin of the small Vietnamese state in later generations.
The Great Plains of the Mekong Delta is a good place for three crops a year, and Huang Sheng certainly covets it, and it must be imperative to restore the political envoy of Jiaozhi, and it is a piece of cake to beat monkeys with hot weapons.
Hey! After finishing his work, Jiannu will go immediately.
These talents must be firmly in control of their hands, and now they are at a loss to finalize their identities, Huang Sheng said to his beauty: "Hexiang, white peony, you guys write out the refuge documents of these dozens of people and let them sign and draw them." ”
"Hey! Got it! Do those women also have to leave a deed of sale? Hexiang thought for a moment and asked.
"It doesn't matter, you can do it!"
The troops of the Huang family carried out a demolition on the island, and even brought the dried timber to be used for fire, anchored in the port for the night, and set sail for Li Guozhu's private port early the next morning.
Before leaving, the Black Tigers were about to set fire to the nest of the Japanese Kou, but Huang Sheng stopped it.
"All of you remember, the Huang family's team only kills the enemy and does not set fire, and if you keep those shacks here, maybe there will be pirates who will take a fancy to them!" ”
The black tiger scratched his head and smiled, and said, "It's still an adult, this place will let the pirates operate for another year and a half, how good it is for us to continue to come to the black and eat the black!" ”
Huang Sheng smiled and corrected: "Black Tiger, what you said is too ugly, we are the officers and soldiers of the imperial court, and we are the representatives of the Ming Dynasty to exterminate the Haikou Bandits, which belongs to 'robbery according to law'." ”
Everyone laughed and gave up their intention to be arsonists, called it a day, and sailed back, and the flotilla arrived at its destination in the afternoon.
Li Guozhu got a reply from the lookout post and learned that the Huang family's fleet had returned, not only did there be no fewer ships, but also two more.
The owner of the private harbor immediately realized that the lord who said that he would come to destroy the pirates was not bragging at all, and that he should have returned victorious.
Li Guozhu, who admired force, personally came to the open sea to lead the way for Lord Huang Sheng, and he was dumbfounded when he looked at the two extra big war ships in the Huang family's fleet.
I muttered in my heart, what kind of person is this Ming official? How could he be so powerful, and by what means did he capture such a pirate warship?
The boy was puzzled, envious of the two warlike ships, especially the twenty six-pounder copper-core iron cannons, and even more curious about the mysterious young man.
Looking at the soldiers under the command of the adults, I saw that they were all elated, and they didn't even find a single wounded person, and all the ships of the Huang family didn't look like they had gone through a fierce naval battle.
It's just a hell of a life, how cruel the naval battle is, it's not an exaggeration to kill a thousand enemies and die eight hundred, is this adult an immortal? Li Guozhu's head was short-circuited.
Steward Li Er has been on pins and needles since Huang Sheng left with the team, and he was worried that this newborn calf who was not afraid of tigers would not succeed in fighting tigers but would be devoured by tigers.
He was not afraid that Huang Sheng would die, but that without the escort of the Ming army's sailors, he would become captured by the pirates.
Now that the sea route is becoming more and more unsmooth, everyone has spotted several warships on the way, and it is obvious that those warships suspected of being pirates have bad intentions.
Without the escort of the naval warship, you really can't go back, which is no different from suicide.
Li Er, who was so anxious that the corners of his mouth were blistered, and he came to the port every day to look at it, and it was possible to turn into a wangfu stone for a long time.
Huang Sheng's fleet really came back in three days, and he let go of his hanging heart.
Li Er hurriedly came to the port dock to greet him, and when he saw that the Huang family had captured two warships equipped with ten red-coated cannons each, he was dumbfounded, and his heart was lifted again.
This lord is so bold, when our three No. 2 fortune ships return to the sea, the silver and cargo are worth 300,000 taels, and the three fortune ships with equipment are worth 180,000 taels, will this lord simply beat us as pirates?
This kid has run to the sea many times, and it is possible that he has participated in such a deed, and the pirates and maritime merchants are not separated at all, and he is even more uneasy about himself.
This kid saw Huang Sheng behaving cautiously, nodding his head and not even daring to breathe, and he was almost stunned when he saw sixty-one pirate heads with bared teeth.
Huang Sheng asked casually: "Steward Li, I don't know how much the Huang family can profit this time?" ”
Li Er was busy and said carefully: "The Huang family should be more than 40,000 taels of silver with interest, and the small one will immediately send 40,000 taels of silver to your warship, the account has not yet come out, and some of the return goods will be sold slowly, and there will be dividends to the adult's mansion in a few months!" ”
"Okay! Just do what Steward Li wants. Huang Sheng was about to buy some goods to go back, and Li Er immediately gave him cash, of course, he couldn't ask for it.
"Li Gongzi, the Huang family is not going to bring the silver back." Huang Sheng looked at the sailor who began to carry the silver and said to Li Guozhu.
"Sir, do you want to take gold? It's okay, grass people come and think of a way! ”
Li Guozhu already had a high opinion of Huang Sheng, and of course he was willing to meet the adult's request.
"Li Gongzi misunderstood, the official wants to buy all the copper ingots back, and asks Gongzi to help raise them, and the official is very grateful."
"What's this! My lord, recently the shogunate of the Japanese general refused to sell the copper ingots to the grass people, but the adults opened their mouths, and the grass people always had to find ways to get it, and the grass people could see it in two days. ”
"There is such a young man, if there is any difficulty in the future, even if the son speaks, the Huang family is also a man who can stick a knife in both sides!"
Huang Sheng knew that Ran Haimao only valued strength, and did not ask for anything at all before showing his muscles.
Today, of course, we must maximize our own interests when we kill people and return to the division, Li Guozhu is a maritime merchant and pirate, and he will definitely know the measure when he sees his strength.
Li Guozhu really worked hard, and it only took two days to get 40,000 taels of silver copper ingots. settled with Huang Sheng for one tael of silver and thirteen catties, and the Huang family obtained 520,000 catties of brass.
