For petty officials like Xiangshan Wang County Ling and Zhang Tidiao, Li Guo is easy to settle. But this is far from enough, because their authority is too small, to be honest, if they really dare to provoke Li Guo, Li Guo dares to kill them.

Therefore, Li Guo did not dare to despise Li Riye, the political envoy in charge of Guangdong. He prepared enough gifts and came to Li Riye.

After accepting Li Guo's gift happily, Li Riye, the political envoy of Guangdong, also invited Li to come to the palace for dinner.

There are many sumptuous meals in the political envoy's yamen, and the table is full of fresh seafood, and some Li Guo doesn't know it.

Li Guo looked at it, it was all good things, and at that time, it was definitely green food, and there was no pollution. Li Guo sighed in his heart, the sea is a treasure! No wonder people are reluctant to give up their rights and interests in the oceans.

In the face of delicious food, Li Guo was not polite, and ate to himself.

Li Riye, the political envoy of Guangdong, is also an informal person, and he is also happy to see the sweetness of Li Guo's food, and he is busy giving Li Guo cloth vegetables.

&n'Fiction★ ★.; Li Guo said, "Don't dare to take this seriously, there is Master Lao." ”

"Make up for it, you have seen what you said, although you and I are the first friends, but we are familiar at first sight. No one in the world knows about you, if you want to resist foreign invasion, except for Yuan Chonghuan in Guangdong, you are the first person! I heard that Tu Shaoxuan, the political envoy of Guangxi, asked you to secretly take charge of the post of Guangxi envoy and be in charge of the military, it seems that Tu Shaoxuan still has a vision. Everyone knows your situation, and which one will not save you! "What Li Riye said clearly is that Li Guo is suspicious of the imperial court.

Li Guo hurriedly thanked him.

Li Riye waved his hand, "Thank you!" Eat. Eat more, you northerners eat less seafood, come to me. You're welcome. ”

Li Guo nodded, this Li Riye is also a man of temperament.

After eating, the two of them talked about business.

"My lord, what do I plead? You see. Li Guo asked tentatively.

"Isn't it the small fishing village in Pengcheng? No problem! That's all for you! If you control those Portuguese now, there will be no more external troubles in Guangdong, which is meritorious! This should be a reward. Li Riye agreed to Li Guo's request.

It turned out that because Macau was too small. Li Guo wanted to have a piece of land near Guangdong. He took a fancy to the place of Pengcheng, where the garrison could echo Macau, and. Li Guo also thought that this place would become a trading place for the southern provinces in the future. Therefore, Li Guo said to Li Riye that he wanted to buy it here.

At that time, Guangdong was not developed, in the late Ming Dynasty. The whole of Guangdong has a population of just over 2 million. At that time, the naval sailors at the end of the Ming Dynasty were almost empty shells. Piracy was rampant, so the population near the coast was even smaller, and Pengcheng was only a small fishing village with thirty or forty fishermen.

Therefore, Li Riye agreed to Li Guo's request.

However, for Li Guo wanting to buy this place, Li Riye didn't dare to sell it, and he didn't think so, "What to do with that unjust money!" You do. You send one of your men over, and I will raise him to be a hundred households. Wouldn't it be possible to be stationed directly in Pengcheng? ”

"Good! It's still an adult, in this way, I will send the money to buy Pengcheng to your mansion when I go back. Li Guo said.

"No, why be polite!" Li Riye said insincerely, and he was even happier in his heart.

In this way, Li Guo had two places to settle in Macau and Pengcheng. Li Guo decided to transfer some more people over to develop this place.

Li Riye really hoped that Li Guo's people would be in Guangdong, because pirates of all sizes were rampant at that time, which gave Li Riye a headache. More importantly, Li Guo controlled the Portuguese warships, and Li Guo's words were conclusive, which had the meaning of defending the two vast sea frontiers. Therefore, Li Riye supported Li Guo's actions!

Guangdong's sailors have already existed in name only, and there are forces to arrest them if there are things along the coast. Therefore, Li Riye wanted to imitate Fujian's practice and borrow external forces to calm the sea trouble.

Because the pacification of the coastal areas of Fujian benefits from the current Fujian sailors, in fact, the sailors of Fujian cannot be counted as the sailors of the Ming Dynasty, but should be counted as the sailors of Zheng Zhilong.

Zheng Zhilong is the father of Zheng Chenggong, a famous patriot in history, but he is actually a pirate.

After Li Dan's death, the industry and soldiers were transferred to Zheng Zhilong's control, and he used Longgang, Taiwan as a base to plunder Fujian and Guangdong, making the Ming Dynasty officers and soldiers exhausted.

However, what is commendable is that in 1633, Zheng Zhilong defeated the fleet of the Dutch East India Company in the Battle of Kinmen off the coast of Fujian, defeating the attempt of Westerners to occupy China's sea power. He was called the lord of southern Fujian and the overlord of the sea, and gave the Zheng family's order flag to the merchant ships that paid protection fees to Zhilong (a large ship needed to pay 3,000 taels of silver); If you don't pay and want to pass through the Zhilong Sea area, I am afraid that you will not escape the fate of being robbed.

And because he has money and a strong army, it is recorded in the history books that his military strength includes Han Chinese, Japanese, Koreans, Austronesian languages, black Africans and other races up to 200,000 troops. Of course, this is a bit exaggerated, but it is indeed a good strength.

In addition, Zheng Zhilong has a fleet of more than 3,000 large and small boats, becoming the only power in the East China and South China Ocean World.

Li Guo's current maritime strength is far from Zheng Zhilong's, and he is not qualified to compete with Zheng Zhilong for hegemony at sea. Li Guo is now considering gaining a firm foothold in Guangdong for the time being and basing himself on long-term development. Now his purpose has been achieved.

And from Li Riye's considerations, Li Riye is also willing to quote Li Guo into Guangdong, which is also beneficial. Li Riye can even vigorously support Li Guo now and cultivate Li Guo's maritime power. If one day, the sea is not quiet, you can borrow Li Guo to kill the enemy, and if you win, it is Li Riye's credit, and if you lose, if you can't do it, you will give up Li Guo and let Li Guo be a scapegoat.

In addition, if Li Guohai's strength develops, according to Li Guo's statement, he will also have to do trade, and at that time, Li Riye will have a lot of inputs.

Li Riye has his own wishful thinking, and Li Guo's abacus is also ringing, and the two of them take what they need from each other, and they all use each other anyway.

So, after Li Guo arranged the affairs of Guangdong, he returned to Guangxi and made personnel adjustments.

In view of the importance of Guangdong, Li Guo sent Liu Tichun to Pengcheng, and Liu Tichun would lead 10,000 elite soldiers to garrison. There was also a person with a very unique identity who accompanied Liu Tichun, Zheng Miao, the eldest son of Zheng Zhu. Zheng Mill will lead 10,000 Houli captives to assist Liu Tichun in the infrastructure construction of coastal defense, and will regard Zheng Mill's appearance as a later use.

Before leaving, Li Guo specially asked Liu Tichun to find Zheng Miao.

Zheng Mo knelt down when he saw Li Guo.

Li Guo personally helped Zheng Mian up, "Originally, I planned to use you again in a few days, but through my observation and General Liu Tichun's recommendation, I decided to pardon your prisoner status!" And it's up to you to see how your watch can be reused for you! Would you like to? ”

Zheng Mo knelt down again and kowtowed to Li Guo's head. "I am willing to be a pawn of dogs and horses for the tiger master." Zheng Mo didn't expect to be able to regain his freedom so soon.

"Okay, then you can go with General Liu Tichun! Your current official position is a junior colonel, and you also know that our official position is generally not high now. You work hard, and when I win the world in the future, I will not lose you! ”

"Xie Huye!" Zheng Miao's tears fell, after escaping death, and there was hope.

Zheng Mian went out of the door and knelt down for Liu Tichun again.

Liu Tichun warned Zheng Miao, "You must do things well in the future and be loyal to the tiger master, otherwise Lao Tzu will chop you!" ”

So, Liu Tichun took Zheng Mian to Guangdong.

After arranging this qiē, Li Guo also had something to do. He had thought about this for a long time, and had ordered people to do it, but the effect was not very good. So, Li Guo decided to do it himself.

That's the opening of a school! (To be continued......)
