Part 4 Maritime Silk Road 58, Unexpected Changes

The two sides fought for an hour, and when Guo Yi and Xu Ling'er led the officers and soldiers into the dock, Zhu Hui, Zhang Gou'er and Chen Xuewen escorted Lin Feng off the ship, and when they cleaned the battlefield, they found that almost all the pirates and the Ma family were killed, and Ma Qing, the second son of Ma Liangbi and Ma Liangbi, all fell in a pool of blood, but Wang Changfa's body was not found. [Full text reading. 】

Lin Feng realized that something big was not good! So, he shouted loudly: "Guo Qianhu, Xu Qianhu, under is Lin Wenjun, the right Qianhu of Fusi in Jinyi Weibei Town, I knew that my uncle Ma Liangbi had bad intentions and tried in vain to overthrow the Ryukyu Shang Dynasty, so this Qianhu led loyal and brave people to escort and annihilate the Ma rebels on the dock. ”

Everyone was accustomed to Lin Feng's untruthfulness, Guo Yi and others ignored him, and ordered Zhu Hui, Zhang Gou'er and Chen Xuewen to send him to the Lin family soju shop as soon as possible.

Out of the dock, Lin Feng was stuffed into a carriage, Zhu Hui and Chen Xuewen sat on his left and right, Zhang Gou'er waved a horsewhip to drive the car on the road, at this time, only to hear Lin Feng angrily ask: "Why do you treat me like this?" ”

"Uncle, please don't blame me. You are as kind to our Zhang family, and my nephew can't watch you being tortured in purgatory, so you can go with us with peace of mind. Zhang Gou'er replied.

Lin Feng sighed deeply, and said indignantly: "Dog, you have also been the vanguard officer of the Ryukyu Expeditionary Force, and you know that the general will not be subject to the fate of the king abroad, your uncle and I were the hero who persuaded the pirate Xu Hai to surrender back then, and experienced countless tribulations and life and death disasters, saved the huge amount of money that was transported overseas by the thief Yan Shifan for the imperial court, and strictly restrained his subordinates from invading the mainland. The unreasonable Westerners who recruited for the imperial court were repeatedly framed only because of poor communication with the imperial court. ”

Zhu Hui smiled slightly and replied, "Uncle, since this is the case, then hand you over to the imperial court." ”

"I'm not busy, there will always be a day to theorize in the court." Lin Feng said, glanced outside, and hurriedly asked, "Where are we going?" ”

"Uncle, you don't have to pretend to be confused, after you go home, reflect on it first, and when you can repent completely, then send you to Yuegang to reunite with your aunt, and escort Elder Yuekong in the future, you are the only one." Zhang Gou'er replied.

"Presumptuous!" Lin Feng scolded angrily: "Just you little bastards, where do you know about the major affairs of the imperial court? Send me into the palace at once, and I will meet King Shangyong, Queen Ma, and Concubine Zhengniang. ”

In front of Lin Feng, Zhang Gou'er always felt short-breathed, so he had to persuade: "Uncle, don't make any more trouble, everything we do is for your good, and it is also for those warriors who are stranded in Luzon, and I don't want to see everyone repeat the mistakes of Han J Wang Zhi, Xu Hai and others." ”

At this time, Zhu Hui found that Lin Feng's face was full of unconvinced, and then persuaded: "Uncle, it's still too late to repent, don't be like that Ma Liangbi, smart is always mistaken by cleverness." ”

As soon as the words fell, Lin Feng suddenly pushed Zhu Hui away, jumped off the carriage, and ran towards the south gate of Shuri City, only to hear him shouting loudly: "The general who guards the city listens to the truth, I am Lin Wenjun, the right thousand households of the Fusi of the Ming Jinyi Weibei Town, because I was framed, I was forced to change my name to Lin Feng, and became the lord of the sea merchant group, please quickly tell Yongwang Chitose and the queen Niangniang, and the next official wants to enter the palace to see the driver......"

Zhu Hui and Chen Xuewen chased closely behind, Zhang Gou'er hurriedly stopped the carriage, and at this time, they saw a general walking out of the city gate and stopped Lin Feng.

Lin Feng, who didn't know what was going on, clasped his fists in his hands and said loudly: "This general, please send me into the palace quickly, this thousand households have important matters to report to King Yong Chitose and Queen Niangniang." ”

Zhang Gou'er saw that the person who came was Wang Qi, the deputy marshal of the Ryukyus, and hurriedly pulled Zhu Hui and Chen Xuewen to come forward to greet them.

Before the banquet, through their conversation, Lin Feng understood that Queen Ma, who was in charge of real power, did not dare to offend the court, and was unwilling to punish her younger brother, so she had to continue to imprison Ma Liangbi in the Lin family's soju shop until the arrival of Guo Yi and Xu Ling'er and others.

In order to solve the problem of Jingming and others, Xuande Zhenren and Shen Qi were also brought, and everyone went into the palace to meet Queen Ma and King Shangyong, and for the sake of prudence, they decided to adopt the strategy of delaying the army, pretending to pardon Lin Feng's sins, and named him the generalissimo of the Ryukyu Kingdom, and then sent Zhang Gou'er to Pinghu with three large ships and more than 300 soldiers to tempt Lin Feng to hand over the treasures he had hidden.

Ma Liangbi waited hard in the Lin family winery, mistakenly thinking that he was abandoned by his sister, and secretly bribed an officer and soldier who was guarding him, and asked him to contact his son Ma Qing and the horse shoes and saddle brothers, and as soon as Lin Feng returned to Ryukyu, he asked the children of the Ma family to take Lin Feng away in the name of King Shang Yong, enter the palace to coerce King Shang Yong, and control the palace, and at the same time sent people to the mainland to contact the imperial court, accusing the Ryukyu royal family of colluding with pirates and pirates and pirates in an attempt to usurp the throne.

Their actions were told to Guo Yi by the stirrup, so Guo Yi decided to plan and took the opportunity to pass the news to Ma Liangbi through Ma Qing, telling him that the treasure map in Ma Feng's hand was fake, and the treasure he was looking for was not left by Xu Hai, but buried by Lin Feng when he was in Qiumupu, so he provoked Lin Feng. However, it seems that Xu Hai does have a "treasure map" that he wants to leave to the concubine, but he was made a plan by the beggar Su Ba, and the real picture fell into the hands of Guo Yi.

In order to better control Jingming and Shen Mao, and let these two cooperate with Ma Qing desperately, Ma Liangbi told them the news, and lied that he had Xu Hai's treasure map, and asked the two of them to follow Zhang Gou'er to Pingdo.

Jingming and Shen Mao thought that Lin Feng's general trend was gone, but they didn't expect that all the Ryukyu soldiers would die in battle, and Lin Feng secretly summoned hundreds of pirates to recapture this huge amount of money.

Lin Feng wanted to lead hundreds of pirates to attack Shuri Castle in the name of Zhang Gou'er, and was confident that he could control the Ryukyu royal family and seize the power of Ryukyu without blood, but he didn't expect that the boat capsized in the Y ditch, which led to a fire between them and the Ma family, allowing Guo Yi and others to take advantage of it.

After thinking about it, Lin Feng could only break the cauldron and sink the boat, strive to enter the palace as soon as possible, re-make up a set of rhetoric, and whitewash what he did as a move to serve the country with loyalty, only because he was framed by the eunuch Wang Gonggong of Dongchang, he suffered this misfortune, and made a fuss about it, he will definitely be able to win the sympathy of King Shangyong, and then in the name of offering treasures, to protect the Ma family as a bait, and then get the protection of Queen Ma, and strive to find an official and a half-position in Ryukyu first.

After eating, Wang Qi sent them outside the south gate, and the disappointed Lin Feng said loudly in front of the officers and soldiers: "Everyone, please send a message to the palace as soon as possible, in the next is Lin Wenjun, the right thousand households of the Fusi of Jinyi Weibei Town, with a brave and loyal service to the country, risking his life, the J thief Yan Shifan transported millions of taels of silver overseas, all escorted to Amami Island, and at the beginning of the ship, he annihilated a group of traitors on the dock, this wealth was protected by my Lin Mou's life, if I can't meet Yongwang Chitose today, I'm going to die headfirst under the walls. ”

Lin Feng's bold words made the officers and soldiers guarding the city stupid, and made Zhu Hui and the others at a loss, but they also knew that Lin Feng would not be killed, so they didn't pay attention to him.

Wang Qi asked nervously, "Fellow brothers, what should I do now?" ”

"Please wait a minute, let me persuade him." Zhang Gou'er said, and walked towards Lin Feng.

"Don't come here, go any further, and I'll die in front of you immediately." After that, Lin Feng was ready to hit the wall.

Zhang Gou'er then persuaded: "Uncle, I know you are very depressed, why do you have to act like this in public?" Let's go home. ”

"Don't take another half step forward!" Lin Feng put on a posture of hitting the wall, and said loudly: "Don't say it again, that soju shop is not our Lin family at all, and you can return it to whoever you want, don't * I expose the shady scenes of the palace." ”

This sentence was very shocking, Wang Qi decided to send him to the National Post House first on the grounds of sending him into the palace, and no longer let him talk nonsense in front of the public, waiting for Guo Yi to come back and deal with it.

So, Wang Qi took a few steps forward and asked, "Lord Lin Daao, where do you want to go?" ”

"Go to the palace immediately and see King Yong Chitose."

"Good! Ben Shuai will send you there. ”

Lin Feng's reluctance to return to the shochu shop was actually due to his fear of his younger brother Wen Tao, who had been imprisoned by Wen Tao for a total of five years at Enryakuji Temple on Mt. Hiei and Tongdu Temple in North Korea. The previous time was because Oda Nobunaga burned Mt. Hiei, and Fumitao was afraid that he would be burned to death by the fire, so he released him; The latter time was because Ma Liangbi wanted to occupy the shochu shop, forcing Elder Jingcen to hand him over to the Ryukyu Mission so that he could return to Ryukyu to punish him, but unexpectedly he ran away from Shanhaiguan and did not return to Ryukyu.

Hearing that he was going to be sent to live in the palace, Lin Feng hurriedly bowed down and asked, "May I ask where is Vice Marshal Wang?" ”

"My ancestral home is Ningbo, and I have lived in Ryukyu for three generations." Wang Qi replied.

"Lord Wang is young and promising, and his future is limitless, since you and my nephew are sworn brothers, you have to call me uncle, hehe." Speaking of this, Lin Feng suddenly straightened his face and ordered, "Dog, don't hurry up and drive the carriage to send your uncle into the city." ”

Just when Zhang Gou'er and Chen Xuewen went to catch the carriage, the alert Lin Feng suddenly found that Zhu Hui's expression was not quite right, as if he wanted to do something to himself, so he hurriedly stood beside Wang Qi, pointed at Zhu Hui and scolded loudly: "You hateful son, what good will it do you to kill me?" Could it be that the silver on Amami Island can be handed over to you, a ruined son, to be wasted? I can tell you in no uncertain terms: don't think! I ask Lord Wang to testify for me, and I will donate the silver on Amami Island to Eiwang Chitose on behalf of the Imperial Court to build a strong army to defend against the Japanese invaders. ”

At this time, Zhang Gou'er and Chen Xuewen also came back, and when they heard Lin Feng's last righteous words, I don't know what happened?

"Uncle, don't you think about meeting with the monkey in the Forbidden City anymore?" Half-jokingly, Zhang Gou'er asked.

Lin Feng patted the dog on the shoulder and replied seriously: "Child, you misunderstood, how can I be so confused, uncle?" If the Japanese want to annex the world, it is tantamount to a grasshopper shaking a tree, how can I not know? At that time, if Xu Hairu listened to my words, he was not in a hurry to recruit An, but used Ryukyu as a base, taking advantage of the fall of the Shogunate of the Japanese State and the rise of the heroes, he captured Kyushu in one fell swoop, and then occupied the Japanese archipelago, and then contacted the imperial court to recruit An, and drove the Japanese people to work for us, establish a strong overseas armed force, conquer the Nanyang Islands for the imperial court, and drive away those Westerners. ”

At this moment, Zhu Hui didn't want to argue with him anymore, and with the help of Wang Qi, he sent Lin Feng to the National Post House.

At the same time, after Guo Yi and Xu Ling'er and others finished cleaning the battlefield, they were called away by the envoys sent by the palace, and as soon as they stepped into the palace gate, they found that the atmosphere was not right......

Wang Changfa did not die in battle, he led several personal guards to jump into the sea and escaped, and was on his way back to Amami Island, ready to take all the huge money with him......

******************************

There are many legends about Lin Feng in history, and the more popular saying is that he is also known as Lin Afeng, who participated in the old man team of the green forest at sea when he was young, and then followed his business, taking Penghu as a base to open up maritime trade, and at its peak, he had more than 300 ships and more than 40,000 personnel. In the first year of Longqing (1567), he led his troops to capture Huilai Shenquan Port. In the first year of Wanli (1573), Qianao of Tunnanao Island attacked Chenghai in December and defeated the officers and soldiers. In February of the second year, he attacked Chaozhou and Huilai, in April he attacked Qinglan (now Wenchang, Hainan), and in June he was defeated in Guangdong and retreated to the coast of Guangdong and Fujian. In November, they successively attacked Chaoyang Tatoubu (now Dahao District, Shantou), Zhelin in Raoping County, Huilai Jinghai, Lufeng Jieshi and other coastal ports. The Ming Dynasty was forced to concentrate the main forces of land and water to encircle and suppress Lin Feng. Lin Feng took Nanao Island as a base and held each other, and later revised the book to discuss and ask for appeasement, but Yin Zhengmao, the governor of Liangguang, did not accept it. In order to avoid the attack of officers and soldiers, Lin Feng led 62 warships and more than 5,500 people to set sail towards Luzon. Arrived at Maris in Manila Bay on the 29th of the same month. The first attack on Manila was won, killing the Spanish commander-in-chief in the Philippines, Maytlngoiti. Later, he established the capital at Lingayeng. Bay, Panggsinan, F, proclaimed himself king, and had good relations with the local population. In March of the third year, Spain sent troops to attack Lin Feng, and the Ming Dynasty government took the opportunity to jointly besiege it. Lin Feng fought hard for four months, because of the lack of food and weapons, on August 4, overnight, led more than 40 warships to skillfully break through the siege, straight to Taiwan, and then returned to Chaozhou, haunted between Zhelin, Jinghai and Jieshi, and the number of ships increased to more than 150, and the power was restored. Later, Lin Feng left Chaozhou and did not know what to do.

According to the record of volume 81 of "Wanli Record": Recently, the drama thieves Lin Daoqian, Lin Feng and others fled outside the island, and they still leaked the heavens. Lin Feng's occupation of Nanao Island, his escape to Taiwan and Luzon, his conquest of Manila, and the siege of Tortoiseshell Harbor are more commonly found in various local chronicles. For example, volume 30 of the "Quanzhou Mansion Chronicles" records: Luzon forced Lin Feng, captured something, and offered it, because he was invited to pay tribute, compared to Siam and La Zhuguo. "Huzhou Mansion Chronicles" contains: In October of the second year of Longqing, Lin Feng went to Guangzhou from Shenquan Town. "The Ninety-third Book of the Diseases of the Heavenly Counties" contains: In the early years of Wanli, the pirate Lin Feng entered Penghu and communicated with the Japanese invaders. Wanli Martial Arts Record. Volume III. The Legend of Lin Feng records that "Luzon is not a tribute, but a break through the forest wind, and it is magnificent!"
