Yang Ling, He Bingwen, Liu Zhifu and Snow Cat father and son pushed the cup to change the lamp, and when they were talking and laughing, there was a sudden "clang" sound, and a behemoth man slammed open the door and stumbled in, and the laughter in the room suddenly stopped.

Sitting in Yang Ling's arms was a petite and pretty woman, whose stage name was 'Xiang Pendant'. But no matter how delicate this "incense pendant" is, the warm fragrant nephrite is more than eighty catties, and since she threw herself into the arms of this young and handsome minister, she has turned into a dog skin plaster, sticking to him and not even pushing it away.

Yang Ling's thighs were numb by this incense pendant, but he had a heart, and tonight it was clear that he was going to Fengyue Field with the snow cat to have fun, so he had been acting vainly and forbearance. At this time, when he saw Liu's mallet, Yang Ling knew that the matter was coming, so he took the opportunity to slap the table and shouted: "This official is drinking with a few adults, who told you to break in?" ”

Saying that, he took advantage of the situation and pushed on the slender waist of Xiangzhu'er, and the girl seemed to lose her temper when she saw that Lord Qincha's voice was violent, but she didn't dare to accept it if she didn't see it, so she hurriedly lifted her pink buttocks lightly and flashed to the side.

Liu Dabang mallet will also be strange, staring at a pair of mung bean eyes and shouting: "Dashuai, go and take a look, the people of the snow cat are reversed, and now there are people everywhere outside the city, shouting to kill Dashuai and rob Fuzhou City, and the people in the city are in chaos."

"What?" Yang Ling stood up and glared at the snow cat angrily. He Bingwen flipped the table with a "bang", and with a big hand, he pulled the third son of the snow cat over and choked his throat. Governor Liu ran to the door in a panic, stretched his hands like an old hen and opened his throat and shouted: "Come on, come on, take the thief!" Take the thief! ”

The guards outside the door rushed in, and the snow cat's guards also rushed in, but there were few of them, and they were surrounded by Yang Ling's people in a moment, and the two sides were tense for a while.

The snow cat panicked, and said repeatedly: "Stop, everyone stop, this must be a misunderstanding, without my order, they will never dare to attack the city?" ”

Yang Ling sneered and said sharply: "That's right, without your order, no one dares to attack the city, so now that someone is attacking the city, is it from your instructions?" Snow cat, snow cat, it's really easy to change, your surname is difficult to change, the court treats you well, I can't imagine that your wolf ambition is actually a rebellion against the city with a fake trick, what crime should you be guilty of?! ”

"Wronged, my lord, I don't know what rumors they listened to to to do such a bastard thing. I have been by your side, where will the Lord make them murderous? Go to the city to stop the rebellion, please give me a chance! The snow cat said with a sad face.

His heart had sunk. Can be mixed into a hegemon from the robbers' den to the place where they are deceitful, how can the snow cat be a person who has no heart and no scheming? No matter how shrewd he is, he is just a pirate after all, a man from the rivers and lakes who he has never even seen a little prefect before.

The emperor and the holy decree are also sacred and unquestionable in the eyes of these thieves who regard the king's law as bullshit, in fact, these people who are far away from the temple believe in Chrysostom more than the ministers in the court.

In addition, his fleet has been back and forth to Fuzhou several times, Yang Ling has always treated him like his own subordinates, and has never had any vigilance restrictions on his people and his ship.

But now that he heard that the pirates were attacking the city, the snow cat immediately noticed the strangeness, but he didn't want to think about the worst in his heart, he just hoped to quickly restrain those subordinates who suddenly attacked the city for some reason, as long as he didn't give Yang Ling the truth, he could save his surname Xu Tu Houji.

Yang Ling stared at him for a long time, then waved his hand slightly, and the guards took a few steps back with their knives.

Yang Ling bowed his head and said, "Okay, this official will give you a chance." If you can make the rebels lay down their arms and accept the care of the officers and soldiers, the officers will spare you for the time being. I will find out the truth after dawn, and I will neither indulge one person in vain, nor kill another. If the rebellion is true, you will not be forgiven! The three noble sons are about to be wronged, come and watch them."

People are knives, I am fish and meat, what else is there to say at this point?

The snow cat bowed his head and agreed, causing his guards to drop their swords and guns and tie their hands, and his three sons were also taken into custody, and the guests in the seats were instantly reduced to prisoners.

The four famous people stared at a pair of beautiful big eyes, stunned to look at this scene, Yang Ling turned his head, the frost on his face immediately melted, his face was full of spring breeze, he smiled and bowed slightly to a few girls: "A few young ladies are frightened, this official wants to go to the city immediately to meet the enemy, a few young ladies please go back, before the truth is known, please keep your mouth shut."

Several girls hurriedly responded, and Yang Ling hurried to Dongchengtou with the snow cat. Behind the snow cat, the four fans holding plum blossom crossbows did not leave an inch, and if he dared to make the slightest move, he would immediately be splashed with blood on the spot.

In the east city of Fuzhou, the angry pirates shouted outside the city gate, but they had almost no equipment to attack the city, so although the momentum was terrifying, in fact, there were many elements of scolding and roaring.

However, the officers and soldiers at the head of the city did not dare to be sloppy, and the officers and soldiers of the group looked solemn, and all kinds of equipment for defending the city were carried by them to the place where they were preparing for the attack.

Accompanied by Yang Ling, the snow cat climbed to the highest point of the city tower, and the lanterns and torches were lit at once, illuminating the city tower as bright as day, becoming the biggest bright spot in the night.

And Yang Xiaosheng, the protagonist of this play, has long sleeves and rolls up, and he read aloud on the 'stage': "Why did the bandits under the city attack the city and rebel?" One by one, I don't know whether to live or die, this official Yang Ling is here, you immediately put down your swords and guns and surrender, this official Rao Er will not die! Snow cat, come on! ”

Two fanzi pushed the snow cat to appear on the mouth of another city wall, two plum blossom crossbows on his waist, and in order to enhance the effect, another fanzi carried a lantern and held it above his head staggeringly, shining on the sickly pale face because of skin diseases.

There was a silence at the head of the city, and then someone noticed this face with the enhanced lighting effect, and sure enough, it was the snow cat, and he was standing on both sides of the dish wall, and he was being covered by the height, and only the snow cat was exposed at the battlement, and it looked like he was standing there without limit.

Someone shouted loudly: "Look, look there, it's the cat!" It's a snow cat, and he's really with the surname Yang."

The snow cat lay on the arrow stack of the dish wall and looked down, the city was bright and the city was dark, and the torch could only shine on the human figures, how could you see the face clearly. He said anxiously: "Bastard, are you going to rebel? Who got you here? Sandman got you guys? Erba, tell him to come to me! ”

The tall man under the city raised his hands to stop the noise of the group of thieves, and walked up a few steps forward slowly: "I said Master Cat, we don't say dark words in front of the Ming people, and it is not a day or two for the brothers to follow you into life and death. Are you colluding with the officers and soldiers to wipe us out? ”

"I'll do your mother!" The snow cat was really anxious, and he was so angry that he heard the accent and knew that it was Hu Da, the owner of the Trapped Island, so he raised his throat and scolded: "Hu Da understands that you are raised by a bitch, what kind of place is this?" What is this place? Are you going to kill the officials and rebel? Why did Lao Tzu want to kill you? You say that the officers and soldiers are going to deal with you, but what about them? ”

His voice changed, and he pleaded again: "Brother Hu, don't be confused, this must be some people who are unwilling to surrender to the imperial court deliberately spreading rumors." You listen to me, you listen to my brother, immediately put down the knife and gun to show your heart to Lord Yang, I Wen someone will not pit you, I use my Wen family's ancestral tablet to swear to you, absolutely guarantee your safety, absolutely will not harm you! ”

"Whew!" Hu Da understood that when he heard that the snow cat asked him to lay down his weapon, he believed that he was not good, Hu Da understood that he sneered and retreated, pointing to the city and said, "Do you think that you are the snow cat in the world?" Phew! We're blind to follow such a brute as you! Brothers, you have all seen it, the snow cat wants us to put down our swords and guns and let the officers and soldiers deal with it, do you agree? ”

"No! Don't say yes! Kill into the city! Kill all the officers and soldiers! Brothers, it's the other way around! The city was boiling.

He Bingwen didn't know when he climbed to the top of the city with his helmet and armor, and shouted loudly: "The bandits in the East China Sea pretended to accept Zhao'an, and attacked the city at night to rebel. ”

"Boom! Rumble! Boom~~~~", tongues of fire gushed out on the battlements, four cannons on the city tower, eight cannons on the left and right city wall battlements have already been prepared, He Bingwen's "kill" word exit, twenty cannons roared, and they were fired together.

The barrel of the cannon was filled with iron nails, lead pellets, and small stones, and a radius of 60 feet was within the range of lethality, and the city under the bombardment of twenty cannons suddenly fell to the ground, and there were screams and curses everywhere.

Seeing this, the snow cat was miserable: does this row of cannons seem to be in a hurry to prevent pirates from rebelling? It's a fucking hole dug and waiting for my men to jump in! It's over, it's all over.

The pirates of the East China Sea accepted the imperial court's recruitment with great fanfare, and this matter was known to the world, and no matter how vicious Yang beheaded him, he would not dare to disadvantage them. But now his subordinates did not know who had been bewitched, and they inexplicably believed that he and the court were going to annihilate them.

If they want to save their lives, they can only immediately put down their swords and guns and accept the supervision and interrogation of officers and soldiers, and at that time, Yang will never dare to ignore the fact that six or seven thousand people in the city are tied up, and they will be slaughtered in the name of rebellion.

But the truth is reasonable, and the understanding is understood, how many people in the world know the truth but don't do it? It is said that now the bandits under the city suspect that they are colluding with the officers and soldiers, even if they still believe in themselves, at this time, they are told to put down their swords and guns, will they be willing?

I'm afraid that they will transpose each other and change their lives in the city, and at this point, they will be like riding on the back of a tiger, and they will never turn back. At this moment, can you still trust the imperial court? has already gone to the city and surrendered again, can you believe in the court's pardon? Who has six or seven thousand soldiers and horses in their hands, and will put down their swords and guns without resistance, and hand over their lives to the other party to gamble?

The snow cat closed its eyes in pain: Yang Ling's plan was too simple and too insidious. It's so simple that when it happens, you can let yourself easily see through the game, so insidious that you can clearly see through it, but there is no way to crack it.

It deeply grasps the weakness of people's surnames and grasps people's psychology, like a rope across the river, a big ship going straight down, whether it is death when it hits, whether it jumps or dies, you can see the danger there, but you have to go down according to his layout, to seek that possible glimmer of life. But is there still life?

The pirates fought together, the cannon in the north of the city sounded, and a group of officers and soldiers with a Shandong accent rushed out scolding, and there was a dense rain of arrows. At the same time, officers and soldiers also appeared on the right side, and in the sound of 'turtle son' one after another, the platoon was like thunder. In the distance, six fire dragons meandered in, and the eight thousand officers and soldiers who were originally stationed on the east bank of the river arrived.

The soldiers are surrounded, and the vitality is gone!

Whether it's a pirate under the city, or a snow cat in the city.

The snow cat sadly watched his blood capital being devoured by the officers and soldiers little by little, and his heart was like a knife. Yang Ling glanced at him silently, and with a sigh like an autumn wind blowing through dead leaves, he quietly turned around and walked to the other side.

The snow cat caught a glimpse of Yang Ling's movements out of the corner of his eye, he didn't think about it, he let out a desperate roar, and suddenly his ten fingers were bent like eagle claws, and his feet were as light as a raccoon cat, and he pounced on Yang Ling.

"Puff puff" two plum blossom crossbows, ten oily arrows, all penetrated into his back, the snow cat fell to the ground one by one, he struggled to get up, his knees trembled for a moment before standing up, staring at Yang Ling with tearful eyes, howling: "The surname Yang!" ”

Yang Ling's figure paused, he didn't look back, just tightened his cloak and continued to walk forward along the city saucer. Beside him, a cannon spewed tongues of fire in turn as he passed, pouring mercilessly down the city.

The snow cat stared at Yang Ling's back, his eyes had begun to blur, and it seemed that a black mist was floating in front of him. He Bingwen waved his hand coldly, and a guard Huo Di who was standing by the knife jumped over, raised his knife out of the sheath in mid-air, and shouted: "The snow cat plotted to assassinate Qincha, plotted against him, and beheaded!" ”

The sword wind is fierce, and the knife light is like a wheel.

The sharp blade swept past the snow cat's neck, a good human head flew into the air at dawn, the battle of Shuangyu had come to an end, and 18,000 officers and soldiers searched the left and right islands, and seized countless silk, tea, porcelain, spices and jewels transported from the South Seas.

The fur seal was wounded in the scuffle and had difficulty walking, and when he fled to the reef on the edge of the island, he was dragged back like a dead dog by the swarming officers and soldiers before he could climb onto a small boat.

Now, some officers and soldiers are searching the caves dotted around the island and bringing back some pirates who are hiding sporadically. More than a dozen ships of goods and treasures have been taken away from the seashore, and now the officers and men are escorting many women and children aboard the ships.

Some of the pirates were carried back on each ship, and they were herded into the dark cabins until they entered the port of Fuzhou. A large number of pirates were concentrated on the open, flat bluestone-paved sandy beach, guarded by spearmen.

Han Wu and Peng Xiaochao were directing the ships to leave, and suddenly someone hurriedly came to report: "Lord Qiqi, three miles south of the port, there are two big ships, do you want to send someone to intercept them?" ”

Han Wu and Peng Xiaochao looked at each other in amazement, and Han Wu preemptively asked, "What kind of ship is it?" Can you see the road? ”

The soldier said: "It's still far away, and I can't see the way out, but it's definitely not our Ming warship?" ”

Peng Xiaochao asked, "Aren't there any obvious signs on the ship?" ”

The soldier said, "Yes, there is a sea eagle on the mainsail."

Peng Xiaochao laughed, waved his hand and said: "Don't block it, let them enter the port, and then intercept their retreat, this is the merchant ship of Agui, a big smuggler in the Sula Kingdom." They don't know that Shuangyu has fallen into our hands, and this is to transfer goods."

The officers and men concealed their whereabouts as they were told, and only when the two merchant ships entered the harbor did they come out, and sure enough, they blocked the two merchant ships loaded with all kinds of goods, and the preliminary estimate was that the value of the goods of the two merchant ships was no less than 100,000 taels of silver. Naturally, the two ships also changed owners, and Han Wu sent soldiers and people to sail to Fuzhou with goods.

In the morning, as the convoys that originally belonged to the sea seals were escorted to Fuzhou by the Ming army, no less than 30 smuggling merchant ships from Korea in the north, Yuben, Zhancheng in the south, and Java were caught in the net, with a total cargo value of several million taels. Only then did Han Wu realize the scale of smuggling in Shuangyu.

In the case of the imperial court continuously launching the suppression of the Japanese and the suppression of the Japanese, and the frequent wars at sea, there are still so many merchant ships who have avoided many obstacles and rushed to trade, so how big is the throughput of smuggled goods in Shuangyu in its heyday? He interrogated a big pirate leader, and the information he obtained was at its peak, with 200 cargo ships entering and leaving Shuangyu every time, and Han Wu was shocked to hear it.

Han Wu originally wanted to take all the people on the island back to Fuzhou and burn all the houses and caves on the island, but after hearing about this situation, he immediately changed his mind, he ordered the four thousand officers and soldiers stationed on the island, all of them took off their military uniforms and temporarily changed into pirate clothing, and was specially responsible for receiving the smuggling merchant ships that did not know the news of Shuangyu and threw themselves into the net, and he and Peng Xiaochao did not escort the last group of pirates to board the warship until dusk, and sailed to the southeast of the cloudy sky, and the news that the pirates and pirates were almost wiped out was transmitted back to the capital, and Emperor Zhengde was overjoyed when he heard this. He still lives in the leopard house, and has made it his home.

Emperor Zhengde took the military intelligence report, read it several times, and laughed loudly: "Yang Qing really lived up to my expectations, and the ghosts and ghosts in the southeast half of the wall were swept away, okay!" All right! Hehe, Lao Liu, immediately send a message to the civil and military officials in the Di newspaper, so that those fools who chew the root of their tongues will also know."

"The old slave obeys the order", Liu Jinpi responded with a smile.

At this time, waiting by Zhengde's side were Liu Jin, Zhang Yong and Qiu Ju. Liu Jin took advantage of Yang Ling's absence from Beijing to successfully extend his power tentacles to the outer court, and made up for the power vacuum created by the removal of several old ministers of the Zhuguo State in the DPRK and China.

Now Liu Jin is in charge of the inner court, and there are several powerful spokesmen in the outer court, whose power is hot, looking at the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty, except for Yang Ling, who is traveling outside, no one in the court can match him, regardless of seniority, power, and the degree of favor and trust in the emperor.

Zhang Yong, Dai Yi, Mu Bin and others deliberately showed cowardice and did not dare to take Qi Feng's performance lightly, which further fueled Liu Jin's arrogance and arrogance. As for the three major bachelors in the DPRK and the Central People's Republic of China, Jiao Fang Lao Jian Ju slippery, according to the plan with Yang Ling, he is now flattering Liu Jin only to the bend, without him, but to follow Liu Jin's strategy of putting political enemies on the kettle and setting up hundreds of officials to bake the fire.

It's just that Yang Ling noticed that Liu Jin was timing this, and he took retreat as advance, criticized himself and humiliated himself, and finally pushed power and profited and resolved this trick. And what about Liu Jin? Is he willing to be lonely or willing to give in to power?

The other two academics are no match for Liu Jin in politics now. Li Dongyang is obscure and knows how to get along with people. Even if he disagreed with Liu Jin's politics, he never refused in person, brushed his face, but discussed tactfully in private.

Fortunately, most of what the two discussed was state affairs, and Li Dongyang was not a stumbling block for Liu Jin in terms of political power, so Liu Jin gave him a lot of face, and most of his objections were acceptable, so the two seemed to get along well on the surface.

As for Yang Tinghe, he was young and vigorous, and looked down on the eunuch, but he gave Liu Jin a few times in court, but since then, most of the folds he presented to the imperial front have suffered the fate of prolongation, rejection, and renegotiation.

The war in Jiangnan was tense, and there was no definite news back to Beijing, Liu Jinzhuan took advantage of Zhengde's anxiety and irritability, and handed Yang Tinghe the report of disaster and famine, asking for rice and money, and then coldly provoked a few words, and finally provoked Zhengde to be angry, and called Yang Tinghe to reprimand, Yang Tinghe only then knew that Liu Jin's insidiousness and the surname of Jianwei must be repaid, and it has stopped a lot since then.

The silence of the three bachelors has become a kind of connivance in disguise, as Liu Jin continues to install cronies and crack down on old ministers, the political team left by the Hongzhi Dynasty has experienced repeated confrontations with Yang Ling and repeated losses, and has been continuously attacked by Liu Jin in the open and secret, and the power has become more and more withered, and it will no longer be the grand occasion of raising its arms and calling for a group to respond.

Liu Jin said with a smile: "Speaking of which, it is not the emperor's discerning eyes, and he does not hesitate to use the court to be nervous, regardless of manpower and financial resources, and do his best to support the southeast to suppress the Kou, so that there are such results." The southeast is pacified, and the emperor is the first credit! ”

Qiu Ju saw that Liu Jin was powerful, and he had completely fallen to his side, and when he heard the words, he hurriedly laughed and cooperated: "Yes, your majesty, since the Hongwu period, the pirates of the Japanese Kingdom have been constantly coming to our Ming Dynasty to make trouble. After calculating for a hundred and ten years, the Japanese have not stopped, but now in the hands of the emperor, you have suffered a big loss."

Liu Jin suddenly knelt on the ground: "Such a hundred-year-old disaster is really a great joy for our dynasty, and the emperor's great martial arts." The old slave congratulates the emperor, congratulates the emperor. According to the old slave's opinion, the emperor should perform a temple ceremony, comfort the spirit of the emperor in the sky on behalf of the emperor of this great news, and then issue an order to execute the thief leader Ling Chi who was captured alive, so as to show off the prestige of the Ming Dynasty."

Zhengde couldn't close his mouth, and said continuously: "What you say is reasonable, what you say is reasonable, such a big good news, it is time to comfort the emperor of the dynasty, hehehe, this matter will be left to you to do, go to the Hanlin Academy to pick a text, write a sacrificial text, and inform the Qintian Supervisor to choose a good day and say, I want to burn incense to tell the sky!" ”。

Liu Jin kowtowed diligently and said, "The old slave obeys the order", at this moment, a small yellow door hurriedly walked in, and saluted Zhengde: "Your Majesty, the king of Manchu and the king Su Duanma asks to see you."

Zhengde frowned and said, "Why is the fat old man here again?" Eight trips a day, no worries! ”

Zhang Yong said with a smile: "Your Majesty, Su Duan's mother even lost the country, no wonder he is in a hurry, Lord Yang is calm, until the southeastern provinces are basically calm, then he reported to the emperor for victory, but the news of the victory of the officials and troops of the six southeastern provinces over the Japanese and the ships of the sailors came to Beijing before this, and the king of Manchujia heard it, and he was naturally moved, he wanted to restore the country, and he had to rely on the emperor."

Zhengde's expression was a little gloomy, and he said with a smile: "He is my vassal, and he was bullied by a few red-haired pirates running from the sky, I naturally want to support him, but he is also a little anxious, can I not be annoyed if I talk too much?" Hehehe, just call him in."

Xiao Huangmen bowed down to deliver the message, and after a while, he saw a fat white man dressed in a foreign costume and a beautiful brocade pheasant feather on his head running into the room at a trot.

He walked into the door with his robe down, his head still lowered and looked at the ground, and he didn't raise his eyelids, he ran straight to the corner of the table, and knelt down in front of the dragon book case with great accuracy, and made a five-body bow and said: "The little minister Su Duanma will see His Majesty the Emperor Zhengde of the Tomorrow Kingdom, long live the emperor, long live long live!" ”

Zhengde sighed twice, waved his hand and said: "Get up, get up, you don't have to pay a big salute every time, what is the matter to see me today?" Is the accommodation arranged by Siyi Hotel not suitable? ”

Su Duan's mother hurriedly kowtowed and said, "No, no, no, I am very satisfied, and the minister is very grateful to the emperor for his kindness." The minister heard that the Ming Dynasty had won a great victory in the southeast, and that the East China Sea pirates and the four pirates who had been entrenched for many years had all been cleared, so he specially came to congratulate our emperor."

"Hehehe", Zhengde smiled and glanced at Liu Jin, Liu Jin hurriedly stepped forward to help King Manjinga up, and said with a smile: "His Royal Highness the King, please get up, the emperor has just received the report, and your news is very well-informed."

Su Duan's mother stood aside respectfully, bowed slightly, and said: "Your Majesty, the minister heard that the governor of Yang Ling was powerful in supervising the battle in the south of the Yangtze River, and the Great Tomorrow Army was invincible.

Think that the Western red-haired fanzi relied on force and forcibly occupied the Manchurian Thorn Plus, and now I see that my Great Tomorrow Army is invincible, as long as my emperor is gracious and sends a team of men and horses, it is not easy to recover the Manchurian Thorn Plus? The minister once again implores my emperor to send troops to help the minister restore the country, the emperor, the minister begs you! ”

Su Duan's mother couldn't help but burst into tears when she said this, and knelt on the ground again and again.

Zhengde took Yang Ling's thick recital, and mentioned the war in the six provinces south of the Yangtze River, but only briefly, and did not show off his military exploits, but described the important surnames of the Manchurian Strait in detail, and repeatedly mentioned the significance of this for the Ming Dynasty.

In Zhengde's original intention, he didn't care too much about the pirates occupying Manthorn, he was more concerned about the rebellion of the King of Shu. Since he ascended the throne, he has repaired the emperor's mausoleum, built the Great Wall, fought the Tartars in the north, fought the Japanese in the south, and rebuilt the sailors, and the treasury has been extremely empty.

And the land of abundance was not only an extremely wealthy place in the first place, but it was hardly affected in any way. The king of Shu has the best reputation and the most financial resources among the vassal kings, if he really intends to rebel, this is the most feared thorn in Zhengde's heart.

Therefore, as soon as the matter of pacifying the widow was resolved, he immediately ordered Yang Ling to go to Shu to investigate the rebellion of the king of Shu. Now the news from Sichuan that the King of Shu has been recuperating in Qingyang Palace, and there is no movement at all, and the matter of thorns and thorns will be solved sooner or later.

He pulled away the recital and read the ending paragraph again: "Your Majesty, go north to Liaodong, not only Shanhaiguan, but also to the west, not only Hamiwei." However, my Ming vassal states want to admire the face of the sky, and the Ming merchant ships want to reach the four seas, but the full thorn plus is a must pass, so the full thorn plus can not be lost.

If the Yi people occupy Manchu by force, their ambitions will inevitably swell, and the countries of the South Seas will be in danger. What do the people want to do after encroaching on the islands of the South Seas?

Now the sea, the east to the vast thousands of miles, not my Ming sea ship can cross, traffic all countries must take the South Sea, then full of thorns and throat of the place. The throat is choked by people's hands, and no matter how strong the hands and feet are, they are also subject to others. Therefore, the Manchurian thorn plus should be taken quickly, and follow the example of the Ryukyus, the permanent officers and soldiers should cut off the ambition of the barbarians, and urge them to only take the way of peaceful transactions. ”

"Well, what Qing asked, I also thought twice, but at that time, the war in the southeast was tight, and I couldn't spare my hands. Now Aiqing borrowed troops from me, and it was okay. However, Su Qing, Xiyi came from the sea, or from the sea, I sent an army to go, if the Yi people fled in fear, and when I withdrew and came back, what would happen at that time? My soldiers can't always go back and forth. ”

"This", Su Duan's mother has already understood the meaning of Zhengde, but thinking about Zhengde's words, it is also reasonable, and besides, he, the king, is originally the lord of a bunch of loose tribes, and there is no strong army to support it.

As for sharing the benefits of commercial transportation, Su Duan's mother knew that as soon as the Ming Dynasty opened to maritime trade, the merchant ships in the Thorn Jia Strait would be like carp crossing the river, day and night.

These maritime merchants of all nationalities and nationalities, who are uneven in good and bad, have different customs, and have strong folk customs, without a strong army and customs control, are bound to be out of control, and any powerful maritime merchant will make trouble, and the king will have to continue to run away, and cooperating with the Ming court is the best choice.

Therefore, Su Duan's mother immediately knelt down and admitted: "The bandits in the South China Sea have always been difficult to clear, and the ministers beg the emperor to stay in the heavenly army forever and Manchu Thorn Jia, expel the pirates, and share the sea by sea, please Your Majesty's permission!" ”

(To be continued)
