Chapter 187: Return to Zhao
Qin Lin was not used to Wang Bengu, who was hypocritical and righteous, and now he knew that he had the heart of a beast, and he would not let him go, but he had solid evidence in his hand, so he was not in a hurry, and when he returned to Jinling, he would naturally cry.
After making a contract with Jin Yingji, the two sides burned incense in the Ganlu Temple to pray for the alliance.
Zhang Zixuan promised to ask Zhang Juzheng to be the backer of the maritime group in the DPRK, to redress Wang Zhi's grievances, open the sea ban as soon as possible, and canonize and appease Jin Yingji and his gang; Jin Yingji swore that in the future, the Wufeng Merchant Gang would always pay taxes according to the rules, be a righteous people, and fight for Zhang Juzheng to defeat those powerful smuggling groups that did not pay taxes and oppressed the people, and could also serve the imperial court in terms of killing the real widows and fighting against the big and small Buddha Lang Ji; Qin Lin was in the middle as the guarantor, and he didn't know what position he could take to gualate the alliance between the first assistant of the Ming Dynasty and the number one maritime group, but Zhang Zixuan and Jin Yingji both said that they could trust him, so they were helpless, and it was better to obey than to obey their orders.
I saw that behind the smoky red cloth incense case, in the middle stood a Jinyi Wei deputy Qianhu wearing a flying fish suit, wearing a wingless black veil, and a belt around his waist, on the left was the daughter of the Prime Minister who was still wearing men's clothes, and on the right stood a female pirate with a slender waist and a graceful and charming attitude, there was no such a strange combination, and the three of them also prayed to the sky with incense together, how did they feel weird.
Lu Yuanzhi thought about it for a long time, and when he saw the plaque in the Daxiong Treasure Hall not far away, his fat face trembled: "Haha, the fat man knows why!" You see, isn't this meeting a visit to Uncle Liu Huang of Ganlu Temple to recruit relatives? It's obviously a visit to the church to get married! ”
You Guizi, Niu Dali and others all laughed evilly, and Han Feilian joked: "Back then, Uncle Liu Huang recruited his own Mrs. Sun, and there was only one, and our Chief Qin recruited two at once, which is even greater than Uncle Liu's ability." ”
Huo Chonglou was surprised when he heard it on the side, and he often compared Qin Lin with Uncle Liu Huang, Liu Bei was later called the emperor! I'm afraid that's a bit arrogant...... Thinking about it, he laughed again, and scolded himself twice in his heart: People are just joking, but you are more than an accountant? I've been in that pit in Dongchang for too long, and my fucking head is about to go wrong!
Fat Lu didn't suppress his voice, Zhang Zixuan, who was worshipping with incense, blushed, and couldn't help but look at Qin Lin.
At this time, Jin Yingji also heard Lu Fatzi's words, thinking of being held in his arms that night and being wanton and frivolous, she couldn't help but feel a wave of shame and anger, she turned her face sideways and looked at Qin Lin, and happened to meet Zhang Zixuan's gaze, and the two girls felt embarrassed.
"Humph!" Jin Yingji snorted coldly, and said in her heart that you and Xu Xinyi treat him as a treasure, thinking that I also have a crush on this lazy guy? Sister, if it weren't for the maritime group, I wanted to steal Wang Bengu's letter through him and do something through his relationship with Miss Xu, so I would ignore him!
Zhang Zixuan also pursed her lips, thinking that Qin Lin had been in Tianxiang Pavilion and this demonic female pirate was not clear, so she glanced at Qin Lin fiercely.
Qin Lin turned around and raised his middle finger at Lu Fatzi: Ya's harm is not shallow!
Lu Fatzi's eyebrows fluttered and he smiled, unusually arrogant.
"Hmm, hmm," Qin Lin cleared his throat, looked around with his eyes wide open, and suddenly asked, "I often hear that blood is an alliance, and our covenant is established, should we get some blood wine or something?" ”
Zhang Zixuan frowned, feeling that the blood wine was a little disgusting, but it was not easy to object.
Jin Yingji looked at her and straightened her chest like a demonstration: "What Gongzi Qin said is true." It's just that Ganlu Temple is a temple, the monk is vegetarian and does not feed chickens, ducks, pigs and sheep, if you want to cut off the head of the chicken and burn yellow paper to drink blood wine, we will not find the rooster for a while! ”
"If there is no chicken blood, let's replace it with human blood," Qin Lin said gloomily, his eyes were cold, and he bared his white teeth at Lu Fatzi: "I heard that the fat man is blessed and has a lot of blood......
"Mom, Brother Qin is going to kill people!" Lu Fatzi hurriedly hugged his head and ran away, rolling away like a meat ball.
Everyone burst into laughter, Jin Yingji held her little belly, Zhang Zixuan covered her mouth and shrugged her shoulders, and the two women laughed and trembled.
Now that she is cooperating with Qin Lin and Zhang Zixuan, she will break with the White Lotus Sect and tell the inside story she knows.
Just as Qin Lin inferred, the White Lotus Sect exchanged tin for silver, Li Dai Taozhuang, and used the tin plague method to turn tin ingots into powder and sink them into the river in Sanwan, playing a good trick of hiding the sky and crossing the sea, and at the same time, the Wufeng maritime merchants used smuggling channels to transport the silver out of the mouth of the Yangtze River and into Baishuiyang, preparing to smelt and recast 5 taels and 10 taels of official silver into 5 taels and 10 taels of small ingots for civil use, and then transport them back to the mainland after completing the money laundering.
The contact between the White Lotus Sect and the Golden Sakura Ji is carried out in a single line, and the people who come are sneaky, and they have not seen them anywhere else, and they don't know their public identities, so they must be the hidden stakes laid by the White Lotus Sect.
As for the secrets of the White Lotus Sect, Jin Yingji doesn't know much, only knows that the Red Turban Army revolted in the last year of the Yuan Dynasty, and the Red Turban Army was instigated by the Ming Sect and the White Lotus Sect.
Later, Zhu Yuanzhang of the Red Turban Army chased Meng Yuan north to establish the Ming Dynasty, and he was really a great hero among the Han people, but he also killed Han Lin'er, the king of Xiaoming, in order to seize power, and established himself as the emperor.
Zhu Yuanzhang declared the two religions a cult and strictly banned them because they were not satisfied with the old departments of the two religions.
In order for Zhu Jiaguo to be Ming, Mingjiao did not want to have the same name as him, and after hundreds of years of changes, the teachings of Mingjiao and White Lotus have been very similar, so the two religions are united and collectively referred to as White Lotus.
First the sect leader Han Lin'er was killed, and then it was accused of being a cult and strictly banned, the White Lotus Sect has been a rebel professional household since Fang La in the Song Dynasty, against the Zhao official family, against the Mongolian children, and then against your Zhu family's world!
So in the two hundred years since the establishment of the Ming Dynasty, the White Lotus Sect has risen one after another, and there is no need to say anything else, Tang Sai'er, the leader of the White Lotus Sect in the Yongle Year, rebelled, killed the commander Gao Feng, beheaded the governor Liu Zhong, and beat the Anyuan Marquis Liu Sheng and fled.
Although she failed in the end, Tang Sai'er was never arrested, it is said that she has miraculous skills and can fly to the sky, and the Ming army arrested tens of thousands of nuns and Taoist aunts in Hebei, Shandong, and did not catch the mysterious White Lotus sect leader.
Xuande, Jingtai, Chenghua, Jiajing...... The White Lotus Sect is considered to have been in contact with the Ming Dynasty, and the rebellion has never stopped.
Now this sect leader is also a female streamer, and it is rumored that her magic skills have directly followed the previous sect leader Tang Sai'er, but no one can tell what her moves are and what her skills are - because the people who have seen her shoot are no longer alive.
Qin Lin became interested and asked, "So, how old is this sect leader?" If he can catch someone who has seen her, he can draw a vivid picture of the sea catch. ”
Jin Yingji smiled bitterly and shook her head: "Not only can no one tell her appearance, even her tall, short, fat, thin, and how old she is, some people say that she is a teenage girl with a thin body, some people say that she is a young woman with a good figure, and some people say that she is an old woman with goosebumps - only the devil knows!" ”
Qin Lin was helpless, it seemed that on the side of the Wufeng Merchant Gang, he would not be able to dig up the information of the White Lotus Sect.
But in general, it's lucky, although the White Lotus Sect is powerful, it hasn't been able to reach out to the East China Sea, otherwise the stolen silver this time will really be hanging.
It was getting late, Qin Lin and the others stayed in Ganlu Temple for the night, got up early the next morning, and took the big boat of Jin Yingji to the mouth of the Yangtze River to pick up the stolen silver.
500,000 pieces of silver had been transported to the island, and Kanesakura sent a fast ship to inform her subordinates to bring it back.
In later generations, Chongming Island at the mouth of the Yangtze River was still four small islands that were not connected to each other at this time, named Pingyangsha, Sansha, Zhongsha and Nansha.
As soon as you get out of Sisha Island, the sea and sky suddenly open up, and it is the East China Sea with surging waves.
There are more than 10 4,000 large sea ships waiting on the sea, it is the giant ship built by Wang Zhi in those years, the history is called "one hundred and twenty steps of the joint boat, can accommodate 2,000 people, and can gallop on the horse", and it is indeed worthy of its name, only to see the majestic hull, the sail shadow covers the sky, and the small boat in the inland river is not the same as the same language, even Qin Lin rides, Jin Yingji, which can be regarded as a big ship in the Yangtze River, compared with it, it has suddenly become a dwarf at the feet of the giant.
Jin Yingji intended to show Qin Lin and Zhang Zixuan her strength, so she ordered the fleet to wait here in advance.
As soon as she gave the order, Takeo Kameban pulled the rope straight, and a purple and gold flag was raised from the mast of the ship, on which were painted the five peaks of green, red, yellow, white, and black.
The countless soldiers and sailors on those big ships immediately bowed down and shouted in unison: "Treading the waves, turning over the river and the sea, the people of the thirty-six islands greet the owner of the five peaks!" ”
Qin Lin nodded straight and said to Zhang Zixuan: "Although Wang Zhi is dead, Yu Wei is still here, our vote is right." ”
Zhang Zixuan lowered her head and pondered, and sighed: "This is still after the decline of the Wufeng Maritime Merchants, if Wang Zhi was successfully appeased back then, I don't know if I can reduce the sacrifice of many soldiers and civilians. ”
She secretly made up her mind that this time she must succeed in appeasement, and she could not repeat the mistakes of the past in the maritime ban policy.
500,000 silver was quickly transported to the river boat, and Jin Yingji gave the ship to Qin Lin, and the sailors also allocated it to him and sent him back to Yangzhou with the silver.
When saying goodbye, Jin Yingji deliberately threw a provocative glance at Qin Lin in front of Zhang Zixuan!
Lu Fatzi smiled and leaned back, pointed to the river boat and said that this was not the dowry first? Ganlu Temple recruited relatives, and it really took a good mouth, and Dongwu married Mrs. Sun to lose Jingzhou, so that the large-scale fleet just now will have to be surnamed Qin sooner or later, if you don't believe it, this river boat is obviously the front station.
Hum! Zhang Zixuan pursed her mouth, stepped on the plank hard, and entered the cabin without looking back.
Qin Lin scratched his head: Like, she is getting more and more awkward? Why is that?
