Chapter 210: Trade

Seeing that her daughter brought someone in person, Huang Binqing was overjoyed. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 Most of the pirates who attacked the other courtyard were killed and captured, and only a few escaped, Huang Binqing handed over the time to his subordinates when dealing with the battlefield, and pulled his daughter to ask about the current situation in Zhoushan City.

"What, Zhoushan City is actually fine! The pirates were defeated by Daishan's army! Huang Binqing was surprised and ecstatic in his heart, since Zhoushan City did not fall into the hands of pirates, then his responsibility for abandoning the city and fleeing was greatly reduced, and it was not impossible to even cover up the past.

"Daddy, how can you be so confused and do something like abandoning the city and running away?" Huang Fengwu complained about her father on the side, but Huang Binqing didn't listen to her words.

The defenders of Zhoushan are all their own people, no one will reveal that they abandoned the city and fled, the key is the Daishan inspection, if he doesn't say it, he will be fine, or Zhoushan general! Huang Binqing secretly thought in his heart, how to shut up the surnamed Ren, by the way, his daughter has a lot to do with him, if his daughter goes to say it, he will definitely agree.

"Okay daughter, Daddy knows it's wrong. At that time, the situation was really urgent, and Zhoushan could not continue to hold on, so for the life of my family, I made the decision to abandon the city, but who would have thought that reinforcements would come so quickly. On the contrary, if the reinforcements come half a day late, I'm afraid you won't see your father. ”

After listening to Huang Binqing's words, looking at Huang Binqing's unkempt beard and haggard face, he couldn't say the words of reproach anymore. Although her father was afraid of death, it was also to save the lives of the whole family, if Zhoushan City was broken, she really didn't dare to think about the consequences. At this moment, Huang Fengwu was very grateful to Ren Siqi, it was he who sent troops overnight after seeing him, which saved Zhoushan City and reduced his father's guilt.

"Daughter, you also know that the responsibility for abandoning the city and escaping is not small, if it is spread, your father and I, the generals, will definitely not be able to do it, and may be arrested by the court for questioning. Can you talk to Inspector Ren and ask him not to publicize this matter. Huang Binqing said cautiously, looking at her daughter with hopeful eyes.

Ren Siqi drove away the money shopkeeper, and temporarily stationed in Cen Gang, waiting for a reply from the imperial court. This time, he first exterminated Sijiao Mountain, captured the pirate leader Gu Rong alive, and then reinforced Zhoushan to defeat the attacking pirates, killing and capturing more than 3,000 pirates. With such military exploits, there should be no problem in becoming a general in Zhoushan. As for Huang Binqing, just because he abandoned the city and fled, this general can't do it.

After becoming a general of Zhoushan, he can justifiably control the entire Zhoushan Islands in his hands. Although the Zhoushan Islands are all overseas islands and the land is barren, there are tens of thousands of fishermen in the entire archipelago, and they are the best sailors. After becoming a general in Zhoushan, he could easily recruit tens of thousands of soldiers.

Now that the army should have invaded Beijing, the news of Chongzhen's hanging suicide is estimated to be spread to Jiangnan soon, and at that time the entire Jiangnan may be in chaos, and no one cares about the pirates on Zhoushan Island anymore. This is also the reason why Ren Siqi hurriedly sent Song Liben to Hangzhou with people, and he had to buy time so that he could get the position of Zhoushan general as soon as possible.

It takes one day to get from Zhoushan to Hangzhou and five or six days from Hangzhou to Nanjing, and the Nanjing Military Department has to verify the merits of the war, and the efficiency of the Ming bureaucracy is very low, and it will take at least a while to go through the procedure, and the time is already very rushed.

However, Ren Siqi asked Song Liben to carry a large amount of silver when he went to Hangzhou, and with the silver to open the way, I believe that things will be much faster.

At this moment, Ren Siqi suddenly regretted that he came too early to reinforce Zhoushan, if he came a few days late, Zhoushan City would definitely be broken by pirates, so he could justifiably occupy Zhoushan City. Even if Huang Binqing comes back, he can ignore him, a guy who abandoned the city and fled, and he has no strength in his hands, how can he be his opponent?

In the end, he couldn't pass the level in his heart, first, he was afraid that Song Liben would not be able to control the pirates, so that Zhoushan would be too ruined, and the most important thing was that he softened his heart when he saw Huang Fengwu's pitiful appearance.

After the money shopkeeper left, the other shopkeepers knew Ren Siqi's attitude, and no one came to make noise. Soldiers reported that several small boats left the port of Cen that day and headed for the mainland. It must have been these shopkeepers who sent a message back to report what had happened in Cen Gang to the proprietors behind them.

It is now March, and the silk produced by the spring silkworm is about to be put on the market, and after the raw silk is on the market, many small households in the coastal prefectures and counties will smuggle the raw silk to Cen Port in order to sell more money. Ren Siqi decided to set up a village in Cen Port and bought raw silk and other goods on a large scale. In the future, the army will definitely expand more and more, and the Daishan army now has few ways to make money, and it all depends on trade to make money.

Although he is now cooperating with Liu Defu and has a stable supply channel, Liu Defu can provide a limited amount of raw silk every year, at most 1,000 quintals, which can no longer meet the needs of the Daishan Army, and must open up another source of goods. Moreover, Ren Siqi is unwilling to completely hand over such an important matter of supply to Liu Defu, and it is not that he does not trust him, after all, it is more secure when there are other supply channels.

Now in the hands of Ren Siqi in the hands of Japan and Luzon two routes, and the Luzon route is more important than the Japanese route, due to the blockade of the Dutch, the only Ming maritime merchants who can go to Luzon are now Ren Siqi.

Now the north wind is still blowing, and it is the time to go to Luzon, but Liu Defu has no raw silk there at all, which is why Ren Siqi swallowed the five ships of goods of the merchants in Cen Port.

But the cargo was still too small, and the cargo of the five dhows could not even be loaded with the Exocet.

Ren Siqi had already sent people to the opposite continent to privately find those small and medium-sized silkworm farmers, promising a higher price to lure them to transport the raw silk to Cen Gang.

In the two days that Ren Siqi stayed in Cen Port, three or four Haicang ships had already come to Cen Port from the opposite mainland, bringing all kinds of goods such as ironware, lacquerware, and ceramics. These goods were all covered by Ren Siqi, and although the shops in Cen Harbor looked red, they couldn't imagine at all, who had just let their shops be robbed by pirates, and the goods and silver were looted, and now they couldn't take out the money to buy the goods at all.

According to the people from the other side of the mainland, the spring silk will come down in ten days, and soon silkworm farmers will smuggle raw silk to Cen Gang. Ren Siqi hurriedly sent people back to Daishan to transfer silver, and he planned to wrap the raw silk that had been transported to Cen Port, and then immediately sent a ship to Luzon.
