Chapter 284: Looking Forward to the South China Sea

The wedding banquet guests were three days old, and naturally it was a good song and dance, and the Beijing division blew a whirlwind of ballroom dancing, too many official ladies had already begun to resist the footcloth, and they were full of words, and the beloved daughter of the British public family is now a talented man, Lord Huang's eldest lady is not bound to her feet. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The eldest lady of the eunuch's family used to scare their daughters by deceiving them to bind their feet, but when their feet were big, they couldn't find a good mother-in-law's family, and they couldn't marry Ruyi Langjun.

Now such words will be refuted speechlessly, because what other young talent can compare to the talented Huang Sheng?

Seeing that the development of this momentum continues, the problem of women's small feet in the Ming Dynasty will be solved, and this extremely inglorious page in the history of Chinese civilization will be turned over.

Huang Sheng does not discriminate against women, allows his women to show up to work, and also provides jobs for the women taken in by the Huang family within their ability, so that they can be self-reliant, and the status of women will gradually improve in the long run.

In the most prosperous area of Wanggongchang Commercial Street, the large-scale comprehensive entertainment center "Wonderland on Earth" invested by the Huang family has completed the final decoration, and has received all the guests attending the wedding before it is open to the public, and has carried out a trial operation.

The person in charge of the business here is Li Juan, who was rescued from Wanghaidun, the chief housekeeper of the Jingshi Mansion was the first to follow Huang Sheng to serve Huang Sheng, and the men in the Huang family system have to look for marquis in the army, and they are not willing to do internal work, so these jobs have to use a large number of learned women.

This new entertainment method with a dance hall, sauna, billiard hall, snack restaurant, and small theater opened the eyes of dignitaries and landlords.

They inquired about when it would be open to the public, and later learned that it was not okay to come here to have fun, and it was necessary to become a member, otherwise people would not be allowed to enter at all, and how to become a member also inquired.

After real-name registration, get a white copper card half the size of a palm, with strange symbols on it, and when you come to the 'Wonderland on Earth', as long as you show this card, the small staff at the reception desk will know who is coming immediately when you check the records.

This card is so dark that some people can get it without spending a tael of silver, some people can get it for five hundred taels of silver, and some people can't get it no matter how much silver they spend.

Because Daming has a very bad reputation and gangsters who have a bad reputation and officials with a bad reputation, the Huang family does not allow them to come to their own territory to pollute the environment, who dares to be unconvinced and brave to try hard? The Huang family and the British public guarantee that no more than one breath will destroy you!

It's very arrogant to do business like this, which is not in line with the mantra of the shopping mall of harmony and wealth, so it doesn't matter! Huang Sheng never thought that a group of harmony could make money, the necessary persistence was still needed, and the bottom line should not be touched by anyone.

Huang Sheng, the newlywed Yan'er, invited Wu Xiang, who came from Liaodong to drink the wedding wine, to take a sauna in the 'fairyland on earth', and this kid also made an appointment with Li Wenyou, who was busy arranging the new store that was about to open, and a few maritime trade partners, and a few officials and businessmen dressed as scholars were not very familiar.

These wealthy businessmen are not simple, Huang Daren has come to each family to congratulate a lot of money, and now they have all gotten the membership card of the 'Wonderland on Earth' for free, they have come to play a few times, and the consumption here even they are smacked, it is too much money to spend a lot of money!

A few people surrounded the cotton bathrobe, steaming in the sauna, the little guy had just changed the hot pebbles, Wu Xiang scooped a little water with a wooden spoon and sprinkled it on the pebbles, 'snorted' A hot breath came out, and suddenly felt that the temperature in the sauna was much higher.

Wu Xiang enjoyed this feeling very much, and smiled pleasantly: "Lord Huang, I don't know how you came up with such a way to take a bath, and the lower officials were reluctant to leave after coming a few times." ”

Li Wenyou said to a fresh face: "What does Brother Ye think of Lord Huang's 'fairyland on earth'? Can it be compared to Fuzhou's 'Xiaoyao Building"? “

This Ye Gongzi is the second son of Ye Xianggao, the leader of the Donglin Party who has twice served as the first assistant minister of the Ming Cabinet, and is a native of Fuqing, Fujian.

Ye Xianggao, the first assistant, is the leader of the Chen Fraud Mining Tax, and he actually thinks that the coal boss with a lot of money should not pay taxes, which shows how fucked up his governing philosophy is.

It can be seen from this that the so-called "Donglin is prosperous, and all are in the Ying Dynasty" is ridiculous in the history books, and it is not as good as the eunuchs of the Manchu Dynasty villain to manage the country!

Ye Chengjing and Li Wenyou have been friends for many years, and the two of them are also world friends, and they have been doing business in the south goods business in recent years.

Ye Chengjing said sincerely: "Such a good place is comparable to the Qinglou in the small town of Fuzhou, Lord Huang is a business leader, and the students admire it." ”

Huang Sheng knew that Wu Xiang should have something to discuss when he brought Ye Gongzi here, so he took the initiative to ask: "Ye Gongzi, the Huang family has some sea boats running south, if there is anything inconvenient for the Huang family, the Huang family can help." ”

Ye Chengjing hurriedly got up and saluted: "The students came to Beijing to ask adults to help, now the South China Sea is not very peaceful, Haikou Zheng Yiguan is extremely greedy, and the trade routes of Da Liuqiu, Luzon, and Dayue are all cut off!" ”

No wonder the He Yi sent by this Ye Gongzi on behalf of the Ye family is more than 5,000 taels of silver, and there is really something that needs the Huang family to take action, his family should be robbed by Zheng Yiguan, and he wants the Huang family to send a warship to the South Seas.

Huang Sheng was proud in his heart, and the sea coachman of the Ming Dynasty for a long time was none other than the Huang family. Receiving orders from Nanyang is challenging, and it deserves some thought.

Huang Sheng said: "Ye Gongzi can talk about the affairs of the South China Sea in detail, and it is incumbent on this official to seek thieves for the country and protect the safety of the people of the Ming Dynasty." ”

Ye Chengjing saw that Lord Huang was willing to make a move, and he was a lot more relieved, and his family also lobbied many adults to use the warships of the imperial court sailors to run to the South Seas, but as soon as he opened his mouth, he frightened those adults who wanted to get rich and didn't want to cause trouble.

For more than a year, in addition to being dragged down by the Liaodong war situation and exhausted, the Ming Dynasty can count the pirate looting in the South China Sea, Ye Chengjing is a native of Fujian, and he knows Zheng Yiguan very well, and he told everyone about the history of this giant in the South China Sea.

After Zheng Yiguan set up his own portal, he recruited Zheng Xing, Zheng Ming, Yang Geng, Chen Hui, Zheng Cai and other generals from southern Fujian.

He divided his subordinates into eighteen vanguards, formed the "Eighteen Zhi", and changed his name to "Zhilong" from then on, instead of "Yiguan". Zheng Zhilong continued to expand his great cause, and his power continued to grow, becoming one of the largest armed groups on the sea at this time.

Their dominance of people and goods in the South China Sea touched the interests of bureaucratic capital, but it was a pity that the Fujian naval division of the imperial court who represented them was defeated by Zheng Yiguan, and they cowered in the port and did not dare to fight.

Xu Xinsu, who was already the general of the Ming Fujian Navy Zheng Wupin, was Li Guozhu's partner, and united with the fleet of the Dutch of the East India Company to attack Zheng Yiguan, but they were all repelled by Zheng Yiguan.

The Dutch's East India Company was a state agency and represented the government, the Daming Navy was the national army, Zheng Yiguan was a unanimously recognized pirate, and not all of his men were Han Chinese, but people from Japan, Goryeo, Luzon, Dayue and so on.

The cooperation between the armies of the two countries to fight pirates is fair, and this has nothing to do with the eight poles of the country and the nation, and it is as simple as officers and soldiers catching robbers.

Fujian has Yu Zhigao, the son of Yu Dayou, a famous general who is as famous as Qi Jiguang, as the chief military officer of the Navy, but unfortunately the tiger is also a dog!

Yu Zhigao was afraid of the death of the Zheng family's sailors, who were famous for their naval battles, and did not dare to personally lead the troops to attack.

Zhu Yifeng, the governor of Fujian, urged Yu Zhigao to extinguish Zheng Zhilong within a time limit, and the chief military officer himself did not go to sea, and sent a thousand households to Ma Sheng, and a hundred households Yang Shijue led forty warships out of the port to suppress the capture, but both of them were killed in battle.

Yu Zhigao had no choice but to send his deputy general Chen Xifan to lead the great pirates Yang Lu, Yang Ce and others who returned to the imperial court to meet the battle, this time to nearly 100 large and small warships, with more than 3,000 soldiers.

But as soon as the troops were engaged, the timid lieutenant general Chen Xifan fled first. The general Hong should be counted and Zhang Xuan fought hard, and Yang Lu and Yang Ce were also afraid of Zheng Zhilong's strength and did not dare to step forward.

The Ming army saw that the situation was critical, and his warship had been surrounded by Zheng Yiguan's fleet, so he set fire to the gunpowder and died with the pirates, while Zhang Xuan jumped into the sea with a fire gun and died.
