Chapter 394: Overseas Situation

After more than a year of absence, Li Ling finally returned to the Li family in Yingtianfu. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

Li Ling started a family, and Li's father was naturally very happy, and he couldn't keep his mouth shut for a few days.

He was only in his early forties, and he was taken care of by Aunt Mei, and he was also very well-off.

After Li Ming returned to his hometown, he took over a Li family's shop, although he couldn't get rich and expensive, but he could get by.

Li Ling only stayed at home for two days before leaving!

"Li Ling, you can rest assured that my lord will take care of you!" Aunt Mei said to Li Ling: "Your three wives are all good girls, don't treat them lightly!" ”。

Li Ling did not go directly to Nanchang, but made a detour to Ningbo Mansion.

He remembered what the shopkeeper had said to him, Shou Ninghou, this guy was messing around in Dongying, and he didn't make it look like there.

Since the opening of the sea, Ningbo has flourished, especially the small fishing village by the sea, which has now developed into a large town.

Dozens of boats pass by every day, making the village more prosperous.

The imperial court also set up a tax department here, and then collected customs duties.

Now the merchants who travel between the Ming Dynasty and Dongying have made a lot of money, so they don't care about the tax.

Li Ling's arrival gave the merchants a lot of encouragement, and many acquaintances came to say hello to Li Ling!

"Master Li, you better go to Dongying to have a look, Shou Ninghou is tossing around, if this continues, we merchants will have to give up this trade route!"

Not only did Shopkeeper Wang say this, but others also complained to Li Ling.

Li Ling decided to take someone to Dongying to take a look, now that the wind is smooth, it won't take much time to come and go.

"Ma Qiang, you can bring 2,000 people with me!" There are boats on the beach, and it is quite easy to find a few large ships with people as Li Ling.

Since the Marquis of Shouning entered Dongying, he relied on his previous title and the relationship between the queen to cultivate his own power and wanted to slowly weaken the power of Dachang Qianzhuang.

He hated Li Ling to the core, and if he could weaken Qian Zhuang's power, he was willing to pay any price.

"Master, since you want to be an enemy of Dachang Qianzhuang, Jiazi is naturally willing to help you, my father still has some power in Dongying, he will naturally help us!"

As she spoke, Jiazi leaned her fiery delicate body on Shou Ninghou.

The beauty is in his arms, and Shou Ninghou naturally agreed to everything, not to mention that he is in a foreign country, so he naturally needs foreign aid.

The two hit it off and decided to deal with Li Ling together.

On this trip, Shou Ninghou brought all his belongings with him, and he contacted a few businessmen who were eager to get rich, and set up an organization similar to a money village to steal business with Dachang Money Village in private.

Yoshiko is also a person with great powers, and he doesn't know what his father's identity is, so he persuaded various daimyo to help Shou Ninghou.

It's just that too many daimyo have suffered from Fushou ointment, and the daimyo have said that as long as Shou Ninghou controls this kind of thing they can't live without, they are naturally willing to serve, and even don't hesitate to turn their faces with Dachang Qianzhuang.

Fushou paste is extremely strictly guarded by Dachang Qianzhuang, and they are all refined in the territory of the Ming Dynasty and transported to Dongying.

Shou Ninghou and the others had nothing to do, and they didn't even know the raw materials for making Fushou cream.

Shou Ninghou tried his best to squeeze Dachang Qianzhuang, and when Dongying's living space was in the living space, Lu Xiang was ordered to take over Qianzhuang.

She has only one purpose: Dongying is Li Ling's territory, and she must do her best to maintain it.

Through continuous investigation, Lu Xiang discovered that there was a terrifying force behind Shou Ninghou supporting him.

Many daimyo changed their ways after the Marquis of Shouning came to Dongying, and secretly colluded with him.

For a time, all the cargo ships of Qian Zhuang were strictly inspected by the daimyo everywhere.

The situation of Dachang Qian Zhuang is very bad!

In order to stabilize the decline of Qian Zhuang, he even used the power of the Lu family to transfer some of the secret guards to Dongying.

He was surprised by the results of the secret guard's investigation, and all the clues pointed to Dongying's royal family, and it seemed that someone was secretly manipulating all this.

The dark guard used all his strength, and he didn't realize who was targeting Dachang Qianzhuang.

There are all kinds of signs that even Shouninghou is kept in the dark.

Out of desperation, Lu Xiang learned that when Li Ling returned to the capital from the northwest, he asked the king's shopkeeper to bring him a message: Dongying's people are ready to move, let him come over as soon as possible to clean up the situation.

"Shou Ninghou, you can jump hard, as long as Li Ling arrives, your little tricks will only make you die faster!"

Antonio was left by Li Ling in Dongying to assist Dachang Qian Zhuang in managing Dongying, he thought that this was a chance for Li Ling to take a fancy to him and give him a chance to stand alone.

Who knew that this was not the case, Qian Zhuang treated him as an outsider all along, and in the end he was only given a false position, allowing him to go to the coastline to load and unload goods on the dock with those coolies!

"What is the position of the head of a group of coolies, and even if I lead them well, what is the use?"

Antonio began to complain secretly about Li Ling and Qian Zhuang, they are all people with eyes and no beads, these people don't know their own benefits, they all deserve to die!

After slipping out of the capital, Andre quietly arrived in Ningbo, where he arrived on a cargo ship and found Antonio without much effort.

He couldn't help but sigh, the two fathers and sons were all these downfalls!

"Antonio, I told you to trade with me in the oceans, how could you end up here if you listened to me? I thought you could master some military power in Dongying and go with me to rescue those cargo ships, but I didn't know that Li Ling didn't trust you at all, so he put you in charge of the coolies on the docks! ”。

"What's wrong with me not going to do business with you? Aren't you as down as I am? As for the family property, what about the family property left to us by our ancestors, have they all been robbed by pirates? ”。

The two fathers and sons quarreled with each other, but they did not give in to each other, and in the end, neither of them could convince anyone, so the two had to break up unhappily.

Worse things were yet to come, and Andrea's son stayed here for a few days and discovered a big secret from Antonio, the little rabbit cub was actually obsessed with something called Fushou Balm.

It is said that when you smoke this thing, you have a feeling of being fluttery, and you can forget all your troubles for a while.

He knew all the properties of this medicine when he heard it on the street, and the case of the Dongying people was reciting the benefits of Fushou Paste everywhere, but it was also spreading one of his disadvantages: anyone who smoked it could not quit, and Fushou Paste was addictive.

This thing only buys a small piece of silver for every ten taels of silver, and it is over after a few sucks.

Andre was deeply worried, where did Antonio get so much money to buy Fushou ointment?

At first, Antonio was reluctant to tell the story, but his father always asked him this, and he finally confessed: "Since you want to know, let me tell you, every time I unload the goods, I hide a few things, and the owner will not be too aggressive, after all, anything can happen on the sea!" ”。

Antonio turned out to be a thief!

When Andre raised his hand and wanted to hit his son, he put it down, his son is now taller than him, and all the consequences of what he did can only be borne by himself!

"O iniquity! Our family has a knighthood, and the image of the great Western gentleman is lost in your hands! ”。

Andre squatted on the ground with his head in his arms and cried bitterly, he knew that he should have stayed in the Francophone honestly, why did he want to go to the Ming Dynasty to do business!

"Father......, let's just not do it, but Li Ling will forget it!". Antonio said viciously to his father.

Their father and son are not from the Ming Dynasty, so there is no need to be heartfelt towards Li Ling.

"What do you want to do?". At present, of course, Andre, this old guy is taking care of himself first, otherwise, he would not want to leave Li Ling alone.

Antonio though just in the docks to manage some coolies. But for more than a year he has not been without gains, and he has some loyal people under him.

Most of these people are some Orientals, or rather, some Japanese pirates.

Li Ling killed all the Japanese who dared to be robbers, and the remnants of the Japanese had no livelihood and had to live on the shore.

Antonio took in hundreds of such people, and this group of robbers begged for food under Antonio, so they naturally obeyed him!

Now Dongying is no longer the dominant family in Dachang Qianzhuang, although the power of Shou Ning Hou is very weak, but with those big names and the hidden power behind Shou Ning Hou, it can completely compete with Dachang Qian Zhuang.

Shou Ninghou has always wanted to master the manufacturing method of Fushou paste but has never succeeded.

This is an opportunity for Antonio.

"What Shou Ninghou can't do, how can you do it? Could it be that the people from Dachang Money Village will tell you that it can't be done? ”。 Andre was sure that Antonio didn't know the practice of Fushou Paste now, otherwise he would have gone to Shouninghou a long time ago!

"I know how it is made, and I don't even know what the main ingredient of Fushou paste is." Antonio smiled coldly: "But as long as I want to know, I will know the inside story!" ”。

Antonio is very proud, compared to others, he has a unique condition to get the blessing of longevity!

Dachang Qianzhuang has to transport several ships of Fushou paste from the Ming Dynasty every month, if they rob these cargo ships, won't there be Fushou ointment?

Antonio thought more in his heart, as long as he caught the shopkeeper and the men on the ship, they could ask where these Fushou ointments were refined, and it was easy to know its refining process.

"This plan is also said to be feasible, but I don't know what Shou Ninghou means? Does he support us? Andre asked after a moment's silence.

Shou Ninghou naturally agrees with this plan, if it succeeds, he can control most of Dongying, if it fails, it will be Andre and his son who will be exposed, anyway, he will already stand on the opposite side of Li Ling.

After repeatedly discussing the details, the two sides decided to do it when Dachang Qianzhuang delivered the Fushou paste next time!

For this operation, Antonio also spent a lot of money, not only promised to give a lot of money to each of the widows who participated in the operation, but also promised to give them a place for these people to govern themselves after the fact.

"Antonio, your promise is too big, don't forget that it is Shou Ninghou who is in charge, what if he doesn't agree at that time?" Andre asked incomprehensibly, Antonio takes himself too seriously, and he should agree to such conditions.

"Haha, you and I will really keep our promises, as long as we get the blessing and longevity ointment, we have the right, and when the time comes, we will just do all these widows, so that they can be proud of their achievements and put forward one condition after another!" Antonio said fiercely, as long as he can get the trust of Shou Ninghou and climb up step by step, he is willing to do anything.

Finally, it was the day when Dachang Qian Zhuang sent Fu Shou Cream, and to Antonio's surprise, there were six ships this time, and it seemed that the sales of Qian Zhuang were going well, and they ordered more and more goods.

Antonio's heart rejoiced, come on, come on! The more goods, the better, these longevity balms are mine!

Lu Xiang came to pick up the goods with more than 100 money houses, they were all troubles in Antonio's eyes and must be eliminated!

"Miss Lu came over so early? I wonder why so many goods were sent this time? ”。 Antonio's vinegar smell is very strong, and he followed Li Ling's saddle to serve before and after the horse to get such a position. Lu Xiang is just a woman, but she can be in charge of the bank.

"This is the secret of the money bank, is it what you can ask?". Lu Xiang said coldly, not giving Antonio face at all.

The cargo ship slowly drove over!

The time has come, and Antonio has finally bared his fangs!

"Why can't I ask? Not only do I have to ask, but I also have to rob it! I'm sorry, the cargo and people on board are ours! ”。 Antonio smiled presumptuously, he waved his hand, and the widows behind him poured out, surrounding Lu Xiang and all the hundred and ten goods she brought!

He had to settle the battle before the ship landed, otherwise the cargo ship behind him would not easily approach if the people on board found out.

Lu Xiang suddenly understood, it turned out that Antonio was actually playing the idea of Fushou ointment, but she didn't know why so many cargo ships came this time, and all of them were flying the banner of Dachang Qianzhuang!

Antonio led people to kill the guards of Dachang Qianzhuang.

As soon as the two sides come into contact, they will judge from top to bottom!

The Japanese Kou Gate are all ruthless people, where can the guards of Qianzhuang compare, not to mention that the number of Japanese Kou is still several times that of the guards.

Antonio snatched the bow and arrow from the hand of a widow beside him and shot it at Lu Xiang, this woman snatched his own position, and he had to take revenge.

"Whoosh ......".

The arrow went straight towards Lu Xiang, and in a blink of an eye, it was in front of her.

At the last moment, the captain of the guard used his long knife to pull away the bow and arrows.

Lu Xiang is Li Ling's woman, and she must not have anything to do.

It was just that the long arrow broke through the air, and the inertia was very large, and although the captain of the guard used all his strength, the arrow still grazed his arm.

The chief of the guard was injured, and he endured the pain and said, "Miss Lu, let's retreat, not only will we not be able to protect the cargo on the ship if we continue like this, but we will have to explain here!" ”。

It doesn't matter if the guards are dead, how can Lu Xiang explain to Li Ling when he is dead? In his eyes, Lu Xiang's life is the most precious, and the cargo on the ship is not worth mentioning!

Dachang Qianzhuang can dominate Dongying, but it is not only Fushou ointment!

"Okay, retreat!". Lu Xiang gave an order, and the guards broke through to the east.

Antonio was anxious about the cargo on the ship, so he let Lu Xiang and the others leave!

"Quick, go up some people and move all the cargo off the ship!". Antonio hadn't taken the ointment for a few days, and his heart was itching.

"Antonio, do you think it will be dangerous for us to do this, I always feel that my heart is not steady, Li Ling will not let us go!" The first time he participated in hand-to-hand combat at close range, Andrea's heart was furious, and his eyelids jumped!

"How can there be an arrow to turn back when you open a bow? We can't get ashore! ”。 Antonio hurriedly responded.

He took the lead in running to the front of the cargo ship, just waiting for the big ship to dock and rob the goods!

The door of the cabin finally opened, and the people who walked out were not ordinary crew members, but soldiers of the Li family.

Pulling a bow and arrow for one person, he suddenly hit Antonio's face, and he didn't even scream and whine!

This was followed by a flurry of fire.

Andre was just about to leave his thigh when he was hit by an arrow, his pupils dilated, and several arrows hit him at the same time.

The father and son all died under the arrows.

When they saw that the situation was not good, they immediately scattered like birds and beasts!

Shou Ninghou, who had been hiding in the shadows to observe, sighed and went back with a few entourage!

Li Ling suddenly arrived in Dongying, completely disrupting his plan! It really can't be done, and he can only find another way to make a living.

"Li Ling!".

As soon as Lu Xiang saw that Li Jiajun had saved herself from the sky, she quickly ran to Li Ling's side and hid in Li Ling's arms.

Li Ling unscrupulously Wen landed on Lu Xiang's lips!

The guard next to him left quietly, and the chief guard smiled, this girl finally waited for the lover to return!

Thousands of Li Jiajun returned under the leadership of Li Ling, and the news was instantly known by all forces, and they each thought about countermeasures.

Li Ling lived in Lu Xiang's room that night, and the two were extremely entangled!

This girl has been silently guarding Dachang Qianzhuang in Dongying for more than a year, and Li Ling is very moved!

He finally gave Lu Xiang what he wanted!

Shou Ninghou went home with his entourage, and his heart was still beating hard when he entered the house, but fortunately he calmed down with Jiazi's comfort.

Shou Ninghou had the same nightmare for several days in a row, and he dreamed that Li Ling was holding a dagger and resting his head.

"Kako, why don't we leave with the money!". Shou Ninghou is scared, he has his sister as a backer, and sooner or later he can make a comeback, and he doesn't want to throw his life here!

"You waste, my mother spent so much energy supporting you, and you actually gave in to Li Ling like this?". Jiazi changed her sweet face and angrily scolded Shouning Houlai.

"You, what did you say?".

Shou Ninghou suddenly felt that Jiazi was very strange!

"I'm the emperor's concubine, do you think you're really worthy of me? You also want me to be your concubine! ”。 Jiazi frantically picked up the scissors on the table and stabbed them at Shou Ninghou, and said with a smile: "After you die, I will take your corpse and take credit from Li Ling!" ”。

Shou Ninghou's corpse fell slowly, he didn't expect that it was a beautiful snake that had been by his side.

"Murdering her husband, it's really a good show, it turns out that Mrs. Jiazi is actually a member of the royal family of Dongying, it's really disrespectful, but you don't have to surrender to Cheng, I don't dare to take you in this day!".

As soon as Jiazi killed Shou Ninghou, Li Ling came in, and a few Li Jiajun around him couldn't help but say that they were going to arrest Jiazi.

Naturally, Yoshiko was not willing to be captured, and was killed during the fight.

Li Ling didn't dare to be interested in him at all, he had already given an order: life or death!

Li Ling had the daimyo temporarily stop supplying the daimyo with Fushou ointment, and a few days later all the envoys sent by the emperor were beheaded.

The Emperor's family was poisoned and died while enjoying a meal, and this is the end of the Emperor's lineage.

More than a dozen emperors' clansmen suddenly appeared in various places, and they were constantly fighting with the daimyo for territory, attacking each other, and fighting wars.

Dachang Qianzhuang is sitting on the profits of fishermen and becoming more and more powerful.

Song Lu and Song Yu, father and son, also took refuge in the Marquis of Shouning, and they were captured by Li Jiajun when they were making a fake imperial edict, and they were also killed in the resistance.

After pacifying the forces that had taken refuge in the Marquis of Shouning, Li Ling left Dongying.

Li Ling asked Lu Xiang to return to the Ming Dynasty with him but was refused, and she wanted to guard the foundation of Dachang Qianzhuang and Li Ling in Dongying until the forces of all parties completely calmed down.
