Chapter 755: Arrest the traitor
The 500 Dongjiang soldiers who participated in the smuggling saw the wealth of Huangjiawan Island, where they not only lived a comfortable life of being well fed and well-fed for a few days, but also had the opportunity to watch a play and broaden their horizons.
When Shang Keyi organized the second smuggling, the soldiers of Lushunkou made a noise, and they unanimously demanded to participate in the smuggling, demanding that Kong Youde have a bowl of water and a flat bowl, and everyone must have a share of the benefits.
This is human nature, when no one speaks irresponsible when no one is good, and when five hundred companions return from going out to sea, and their family is immediately much better, the others are immediately indignant.
Too many Dongjiang soldiers think that even if they don't have the opportunity to engage in entrainment and make money, they can have the opportunity to go to Huangjiawan Island to open their eyes and watch a few big dramas in vain!
No, in order to calm the anger of their subordinates, Kong Youde, Geng Zhongming and others had to take the method of rotating to go to sea to show fairness.
As a result, more Lushunkou garrisons got the propaganda of the "Nanming" propaganda team, and they all had the opportunity to go to the Huangjiawan Island Grand Theater to enjoy several entertaining and educational dramas.
Although the dreamlike days on Huangjiawan Island were only three or five days, they stimulated too many former Dongjiang soldiers, and most of them were no longer willing to be content with the status quo, and undercurrents were inevitable.
Kong Youde's henchmen who were planted in the smuggling team returned to the original information they had seen and heard, and Kong Youde realized that the big thing was not good, and if the smuggling was allowed to develop, the soldiers under his command might sell themselves.
The Dongjiang soldiers of Lushunkou took turns to run to Huangjiawan Island three times, and there was no follow-up, and the rest of the people who did not have their turn were still waiting, and later inquired, it was their Kong Dashuai who issued an order to strictly investigate smuggling, and whoever dared to go to sea without authorization would be killed.
After tasting the sweetness, he was suddenly forcibly stopped, the soldiers complained, and many people came to Shang Keyi and the two brothers to complain, and some military leaders asked why they should obey Kong Youde's orders, and why Shang Keyi couldn't replace him?
The former Dongjiang Town soldiers were ready to move, and the two Shang Keyi brothers added fuel to the fire, and it was only a matter of time before this Han army was disintegrated.
Several generals even put forward a plan, preparing to suddenly turn around and seize Lushun, and quickly contact the "God of War" to take over.
Brother Shang Keyi stopped the excited soldiers, and asked them to pretend that nothing happened, what should they do, and when it was time to do something, they would naturally notify everyone to do it.
Kong Youde's ban on the sea is also heavy thunder and small rain, but it is just to correct the mistake of arranging soldiers to go to Huangjiawan Island on business in turn, causing more soldiers to be uneasy about the status quo.
As long as the influence of the Tiantian life on Huangjiawan Island can be minimized, Kong Youde is still in dire need of smuggling trade to improve the living conditions of himself and his subordinates.
Smuggling others can't play it, because Shang Keyi regards the Qinglong Banner that can avoid the attack of the "Huaxia Navy" as a treasure, and no one will borrow it.
Shang Keyi said very clearly, it was Zhang Youlu who gave him the Qinglong Banner, and he is now the "Nanming" earl, Zhang Jueye only recognizes him to speak, he Shang Keyi does not show up, and only the Qinglong Banner can't do any business.
No matter whether Kong Youde, Geng Zhongming and other generals are willing or not, Shang Keyi is also the best choice for smuggling.
The two brothers Shang Keyi and Shang Kexi decided to make a fortune in silence, they went to sea in a low-key manner to exchange food and daily necessities, and there were a lot of people who should be given to Kong Youde, in order to hide people's eyes, Kong Youde asked Shang Keyi and the two brothers to garrison near the Lushunkou wharf.
Originally, it was precarious to be stationed near the sea at the mouth of Lushun, because seeing a large number of Qing army activities near the sea, the "Huaxia Navy" would fire a few cannons from time to time when it passed by, but now Shang Keyi has the Qinglong flag given by the "God of War" to hang and will never be shelled for no reason.
Of course, the Shang Keyi brothers have a financial way to act generously, too many old acquaintances have been relieved, and the living standards of their descendants have also improved a lot, their status has gradually increased, and the big and small things of the Dongjiang soldiers have come to them for ideas.
The Shang brothers not only sold the smuggled "Nanming" goods in Lushun, but also sold them in Jinzhou, Fuzhou and other places.
The enthusiasm of the poor and backward Jiannu for buying imported goods from the "Nanming" is just like the thirst of the common people for foreign goods during the reform and opening up.
The "poor" will only be the small people, the vested interests will not be poor, the Manchu military aristocracy will not be less gold and silver, of course, there is a high purchasing power, and the smuggling trade of Shang Keyi will of course earn gold and silver.
Due to the long-term economic blockade, too many Manchu military aristocrats in the interior of Liaodong had a backlog of special products such as Korean ginseng, deer antler velvet, mink skin, etc., although the things were good, but unfortunately the sales were not smooth, after all, the risk of trafficking through the prairie was high and the shipment volume was small.
When the Dongjiang soldiers came who were willing to bid for a large number of these goods, the Manchu Eight Banners changed their attitude of despising them, and everyone saluted the Dongjiang soldiers who came to trade.
Shang Keyi and Shang Kexi took their henchmen to the inland of Liaodong to run the supply of goods, and they were also investigating the military intelligence of Jiannu, and of course, spreading rumors and making troubles were also being carried ......out with all their might.
The Manchu Qing mission that came to Huangjiawan Island did not see the king of the south and saw the princess Hexiang, whether the Manchu Qing was a country or not is another matter, but the "Nanming" side of the Ming traitor in the mission could not accept it.
A group of wolf-like "God of War" soldiers raided the residence of the Manchu Qing negotiating delegation, and no one protested, and they were all obediently interrogated.
Soon the traitors Zhang Wenheng, Meng Qiaofang and more than a dozen of their entourages were screened out, and the "God of War" soldiers immediately tied them into zongzi and knelt on the ground.
Abatai, Gangatai, and Gernann looked at each other, and of course they didn't dare to draw their swords against each other.
Ge Ernen boldly asked, "I don't know how many military masters are here?" ”
Qin Huai, who led the team, announced loudly: "You are all your own masters, this official understands, this time there is no intention to embarrass you, but my king of the south hates traitors the most, Zhang Wenheng and Meng Qiaofang are all Ming courtiers, and today they dare to set foot on the homeland of the Ming Dynasty. “
Meng Qiaofang kowtowed like garlic and said: "General, the lower official is wronged, the lower official was ordered to send an envoy to 'Nanming', how dare he return to Daming!" ”
Qin Huai sneered: "Didn't you set foot on Huangjiawan Island? Isn't this the homeland of the Ming Dynasty? As for whether or not you have been wronged, I believe that if you are sent to the Ming Jingshi, the edict will give you an explanation. ”
Zhang Wenheng was so frightened when he heard that he would be sent to the edict prison, and he fell softly, and his lower body stinked.
Meng Qiaofang continued to kowtow, breaking his forehead, and he shouted hysterically: "The general spares his life!" The general begs you to raise your noble hand and put down the official for a way to live, and the lower official is willing to be loyal to the 'Nanming' ...... from now on. ”
