Li Yuanqing smiled and shook Liu Qinghan's small hand. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Her hands were a little cold, and her whole body was trembling slightly.
"Remember my words. Don't think about it so much. If you need anything, you can come to me at any time. You're too thin, you don't like it, eat more, you know? ā
Li Yuanqing said, smiled and patted her little buttocks, and twisted it gently.
"General......
Liu Qinghan's swarthy face couldn't help but blush, but for a moment, he mustered up the courage to say: "General, I, if I eat fat, you, will you really want me?" ā
Li Yuanqing smiled and took a deep puff of his cigar: "Don't have beautiful women, am I, Li Yuanqing, a fool?" ā
"Thank you, General!"
Liu Qinghan respectfully kowtowed to Li Yuanqing a few times, and then left happily.
Looking at her thin back, Li Yuanqing's eyes narrowed slightly, and he suddenly pressed the cigar on the table!
He doesn't like tragedy!
So, he will do everything in his power to prevent the tragedy from happening!
ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦
Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, it has come to the beginning of September.
After this period of busyness, the wharf has basically begun to see scale, and the neighborhoods, roads, barracks, and various major buildings and facilities near the wharf have also begun to get on track.
Except for the road to pass through a part of the rainforest, which is a little more troublesome, the other buildings, the problem is not too big.
The main architectural style is also mainly Chinese, highlighting a magnificent atmosphere.
The second day of September.
In the evening, in the Guifei Building, the most famous Chinese restaurant in the Brunei Pier District, a group of representatives of the Nanyang Chinese gentry once again invited Li Yuanqing to a banquet, plus more than a dozen major generals of the Changsheng Battalion, enough to gather more than a dozen tables.
They are all Chinese, although some Chinese gentry are already descendants of several generations of immigrants, but the vast majority of them can speak official language, and there is no slightest obstacle to communicating with Li Yuanqing.
A banquet started at six o'clock in the evening and lasted until nine o'clock, and there was no intention of ending, and Li Yuanqing was also a little helpless.
Huaxia people, everything is good, but ~~, I just have to deepen my feelings and talk about things at this wine table, Li Yuanqing is really a little speechless.
Although he is also a good drinker and likes to drink with his brothers, he can't stand this kind of occasion every day, and he soaks in wine every day.
Fortunately, the wine in Nanyang is all low-alcohol wine, which is not a few degrees higher than beer, and Li Yuanqing can barely cope with it.
It's not easy, stay up until the banquet is about to end, send away these 'uncles', Li Yuanqing is about to go back to find Zhang Baozhu to 'go to the fire'.
At this time, suddenly a family slave surnamed Chen ran in quickly, "Master, master, the big thing is not good, the big thing is not good!" ā
This family surnamed Chen is a wealthy businessman in Malacca, and it is already the third generation in Nanyang, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a family with a lot of wealth.
His patriarch, Chen Yougen, is in his early 40s, and he is also a staunch supporter of Li Yuanqing's Pan Pacific Trading Company.
"What's the panic? Don't know what the occasion is? Why don't you get out of here? ā
Seeing that it was about to end, his house slave was so ignorant, Chen Yougen couldn't help but be furious.
The slave knelt down and kowtowed: "Master, we have more than a dozen ships of goods and hundreds of thousands of taels of silver!" It's all intercepted by those white-haired ghosts of dog days! It's the eldest young master, too, who was also captured by them! They said, yes, I want the lord to prepare a million taels of silver, and pay the money with one hand and deliver the goods with the other within ten days! Otherwise, you will have to tear up the ticket! ā
"What? Hua'er he ......"
Chen Yougen stumbled and almost fell to the ground.
Li Yuanqing, who was still next to him, was quick to hold him and help him up.
"This, who is so bold? At this time, you dare to intercept our Chinese goods? ā
"That's right! This is damn good, it's obviously not giving us face! ā
"Hey! These pirates in the South Seas are also too rampant! Even the Japanese in the early years were not as bold as them! ā
āā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā
There was a lot of talk around.
Li Yuanqing's brows couldn't help frowning, and he said to the Chen family slave: "Don't worry. Take your time. Who intercepted the Chen family's goods? Also kidnapped Mr. Chen? ā
This slave also knew Li Yuanqing and knew Li Yuanqing's identity, so he was busy kowtowing and said, "Master, yes, it's that executioner Jack." It's less than 100 miles from Brunei. Their firepower is so strong, and the ship is so fast, we can't run! ā
"Huh? Jack the Executioner? ā
"This, how should this be!"
"The Chen family is afraid that this time, I'm afraid that they will ......"
Hearing the whispered discussions around him, Chen Yougen couldn't help but feel like ashes, and for a moment, two lines of old tears couldn't stop pouring out: "Hua'er, my son!" This, this ......"
After a moment, he suddenly reacted, grabbed Li Yuanqing's big hand, knelt on the ground and said: "Li Junmen, you, you are an official of the imperial court, and you are a powerful Ming, this matter, you have to call the shots of the grass people!" ā
The people around seemed to have grabbed a life-saving straw all at once, but they were usually blackmailed by this executioner Jack, and they knelt on the ground one after another: "Li Junmen, you want to help Lao Chen!" ā
"Li Junmen ......"
Looking at the excited crowd, Li Yuanqing's eyes narrowed slightly.
After a moment, Li Yuanqing smiled and waved his hand: "Don't be nervous, everyone. This executioner, Jack, dared to be so arrogant and repeatedly sack my Ming merchant ships, it was really bearable, how unbearable! Rest assured, this matter~~, Ben will definitely take care of it to the end! ā
The people around couldn't help but be overjoyed, and they kowtowed again and again, they finally found the backbone!
ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦
The banquet quickly dispersed, and the main officers on Li Yuanqing's combat ship were quickly gathered.
"Damn it, what kind of executioner Jack is this, it's clear that you can't get along with us! It's just unbearable! ā
As soon as Junko heard the news, she couldn't help but slap the table.
Kong Youde also said: "General, this matter is the key to whether my Changsheng Battalion can gain a foothold in Nanyang, and we must not sit idly by. ā
"That's right! Can't let these white-haired monkeys run rampant! This shit is just trying to ride on our necks and shit! ā
āā¦ā¦ā¦ā
The surrounding generals expressed their positions one after another, and without the slightest hesitation, they had reached a consensus to deal with it toughly.
Li Yuanqing looked at Guan Canghai, and Guan Canghai has not made a clear statement at this time.
Seeing Li Yuanqing's gaze, Guan Canghai took a deep breath and said, "General, what everyone said is good. However, I feel that there seems to be something wrong with this matter! ā
Li Yuanqing nodded and motioned for Guan Canghai to continue.
Guan Canghai said again: "Everyone, have you noticed that although this executioner Jack is rampant, he seems to rarely attack Chinese businessmen in recent days!" But at this time, our Pan Pacific Trading Company has not yet opened, and this guy is in such a hurry to jump out, or less than a hundred miles away from Brunei, this ......"
Xu Heizi also understood what Guan Canghai meant at this time, and hurriedly said: "Old official, you mean, this dog day, someone is behind it?" ā
Guan Canghai nodded emphatically, "Eight ~ nine is not far from ten!" Someone~~, don't want to see our Pan Pacific Trading Company go well! ā
"These dog-grass Spaniards! It must have been the idea of Valen da Gama of that bird's feather! We can't bear this breath! ā
Junko can't help but jump up!
has been by Li Yuanqing's side for so many years, especially after going to Changsheng Island, it has always been their brothers who have chased others, how could they have suffered such grievances, and someone dared to step on their faces!
How can this be endured?
Kong Youde also said: "This executioner Jack, it will be a scourge to keep it sooner or later, just take this opportunity to get rid of it!" ā
Guan Canghai waved his hand and said, "This matter is not easy!" According to the information we have, this executioner, Jack, has more than a dozen large ships! This means, at the very least, that there may be three or four thousand men under his command. Let's not be rash! ā
Li Yuanqing nodded deeply, "We have an old saying in Huaxia, if you don't have diamonds, don't go to porcelain work!" Since this executioner Jack dared to do this, presumably, he didn't take us seriously! I think we can't help him! ā
Guan Canghai said: "General, even if this is the case, we have no way out!" If we don't do this, we, the Pan Pacific Trading Company, will never have peace! ā
Kong Youde said: "This guy only gives the Chen family ten days, and the time is very urgent!" ā
Li Yuanqing nodded: "If it's difficult, you have to do it!" Since this executioner Jack wants to seek death, then ~~~, let's fulfill them! ā
ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦
Before dawn the next day, Li Yuanqing made an appointment to meet with Valen da Gama's representative in Brunei, Morientes.
Morientes was in his early fifties, short and fat, with white eyebrows and eyes the size of green beans full of the sinister and philistine of Spaniards.
"Venerable General Li, I don't know, what is the matter with you summoning me?"
Morientes's Chinese is not proficient, with a strong Cantonese flavor, but Li Yuanqing does not have much trouble communicating with him.
"Mr. Morientes, just last night I received a not-so-good news. You Spanish pirates, what kind of jack, kidnapped more than a dozen cargo ships of our Ming Chen family, and also kidnapped their eldest son, the plot is very bad, and the situation is very grim! I hope that in this matter, you, Mr. Morientes, will stand on the side of Spanish officials and international morality and justice, and urge this executioner, Jack, to release him as soon as possible, return the lawful property of my Ming merchant, and compensate for all losses. ā
"Huh? What the? ā
Morientes couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, and only after a long time did he react, "Li, General Li, I, I heard you right, right?" You, you not only return the goods and people to the executioner Jack, but also want him to compensate you for your losses? ā
Li Yuanqing smiled and nodded, "That's right! ā
Morientes couldn't help but smile in disbelief: "General Li, you, you may not know the situation in Southeast Asia. This executioner, Jack, although he was born in Spain, has been defecting for more than ten years, and he is a very vicious person. We, the Spanish government, have been trying to attack it again, but it is cunning and insidious, and the manpower and firepower are very strong, and we can't do anything about it! ā
"Huh! So, Mr. Morientes, are you going to do Yuanqing a favor? ā
"Hey! General Li, you, don't get me wrong! It's not that I don't want to help you. It's really, I really can't help if I want to! ā
As he spoke, his fat face looked at Li Yuanqing like a big bitter gourd.
But Li Yuanqing noticed that a touch of smug cunning obviously flashed in his little eyes!
