Chapter Seventy-Seven: Don't Wait, Don't Rely on, Don't

This He Ma is like what I said earlier, that is the old man of the Yan family, although he has no ability, he is loyal enough, that is the descendant of the Yan family, but this business, the Yan family is strong, a fat man like him is still fat, and he is not needed to buy and sell in Kyushu.

As a descendant, he naturally knows the business of the family, to be honest, reselling ordnance is nothing in the Ming Dynasty, it is definitely not only the Yan family who does this, the military and guards collude with maritime businessmen, and the cabinet bosses of the imperial court are not unaware, most of the time they turn a blind eye, why? The major military guards in the world bring silver every year, which is really like splashing water, and there is no surplus food in the imperial court!

Now they don't wait, don't rely on, don't want, can find their own way out, to be honest, the bigwigs of the court are eager in their hearts, and they can't wait to send a holy decree to these guards to praise and praise, and the holy decree should be written like this: You and others are very agreeable, not arrogant or impatient, and continue to work hard.

You know, there are so many guards in the world, not to mention anything else, just the nine sides, every year it is really like pouring water to use silver, just like that, those Tartar barbarians are also inexhaustible and kill endlessly.

For example, if today's known as the good general [East Li Xima], it is said that the Tieling Li family and the Datong Ma family, there are actually many famous generals in the north, and they can also fight, but most of them have the mind of raising Kou self-respect, among which Li Chengliang is the watchman, ten times known as a great victory, some people boast that the dynasty has not been in 200 years, but it is this famous general of the national dynasty who made a wild boar Pinurhachi, killed people's old sons, accepted people as godsons, and then gave back the silver to let people go back, the subtext is obvious: You go back and continue to make trouble, you don't make trouble, how can I be promoted and make a fortune.

Is Lee Sung-liang a fool? Can't see Nurhachi's ambitions? No, it's just self-respect. Is the court boss a fool? Can't see Li Chengliang's self-respect? No, in the words of later generations, what was most lacking in the 16th century? Talent. Like Li Chengliang, a famous general who has won ten times, you know that he has self-respect, but you have to use him.

Is he the only one who has no famous generals in the world? No, but there are not many famous generals who are willing to pull down their faces to show off, and they meet the needs of these bigwigs in the court, such as Qi Shaobao, his ability is great, you can not use swords for more than ten years, how can the court whitewash the peace? How to show force? In later generations, Citigroup did not pull the team out from time to time to go out to see who was not pleasing to the eye, but in fact, it was also out of political necessity, the so-called deterrence of force, how to deter without showing force.

Who can sit in a high position is not the master of the thief who turns his brain, Li Chengliang's son Li Rubai married his wife is the daughter of Nurhachi's brother Shuerhaqi, and later in the Salhu War, so many Ming armies, all of them are almost dead, and only Li Rubai's troops retreated.

Famous generals are like a wolf, although they are fierce, but they need a lot of food to feed it, otherwise there may be a danger of backlash, decades later, after the rise of the Houjin, there is often a Ming army and the Houjin fierce work, killing the blood like a river, it is likely that there is another Ming army team dozens of miles away in the wait-and-see, and this situation is not once or twice, but countless times, these watchers include Li Chengliang's nine famous generals' sons.

The so-called crying child has milk to eat, Qi Jiguang Town Jizhen, more than ten years without swords, the people live and work in peace and contentment, but the court soon forgot about this famous general, and Li Chengliang Town Liaoxi, the barbarians are pulled one by one, month by month, every year there are great victories, promoted to make a fortune and knight, the court has to splash water on him to make silver.

There will be no silver in the sky, and the silver in the court is not enough, at this time, it was found that the southern military guards were actually looking for their own way out, how could the court bigwigs be unhappy? It's good to find your own way out! Anyway, the Jiangnan Japanese are extinct, just enough to maintain law and order, it's not a big deal to sell the ordnance, and it takes silver to maintain the ordnance and forge! Where is it cost-effective to sell for silver?

Therefore, the Jiangnan military guard resells ordnance, it's not that it can't be done, and the court also turns a blind eye, but it must not be said, if you say it, it will be rumored that the world will make a big fuss, and when the time comes, it will be attacked by Qingliu, so how to do it? Making a fortune in a muffled voice is the way to go.

The expression on Home's face was entangled, as if he was constipated and couldn't pull out the poop, and his cheeks were raised a few times, after all, he felt that he couldn't say it so directly, and he knelt down with a puff, and kowtowed to him three times, "My lord was robbed by the king of Haiyan, and the cargo and people are nowhere to be found, yesterday the other party sent a letter, no one in the mansion can understand, it seems to be the text of Fusang country, the villain knows that the little master has great talent, please pity the little master......"

This request is not too much, although the good official heard early that the pirates were going to rob the Yan family, and now it really happened, but he didn't have the heart to complain that people didn't listen to him, so he hurriedly asked him for a letter, although Yan Qingwei next to him cried in a low voice, he had actually been paying attention to the good official, seeing that he wanted a letter, he walked over and handed him the letter while choking.

Unfolded it, the obedient official's brows furrowed, and he didn't speak for a long time, Yan Qingwei next to him couldn't help it, "Above...... What can you say? ”

"Humph!" The obedient official let out a breath and snorted in a low voice, "The meaning of this letter is that I robbed five hundred Fran cannons, and your head Yan Dazhang is also in my hands, offering 200,000 taels of silver to redeem himself, and the sailor to fifty taels of silver, the place of transaction is Naha, the Ryukyu Kingdom, the money and goods are both gone, and after the fifteenth day of the first month, I can't see the silver, but I will tear up the ticket." ”

He said it simply, with only a few words, but who were Dong Qichang and Chen Jiru present? The brain melon seeds are top-notch in the entire Ming Dynasty, and they understand as soon as they hear it, and the emotional Yan family colluded with the military guards to resell the Furlong machine gun, but they were robbed with people and goods.

This scene is so similar to what is written in the book of the good official, before the two of them read the book written by the good official, they may have to go into a rage and sell the heavy weapons of the military state, which should exterminate the ten clans. But now they have a lot of advanced thoughts under the influence of good officials, and the two of them sighed together, "Sure enough, with 50% of the profits, the businessmen will take risks, and with 100% of the profits, the businessmen will trample on the laws of the imperial court, and with 300% of the profits, they can't stop the ......."

Trampling on the laws of the imperial court and the statement of killing the head and stealing the family frightened everyone in the Zheng family, including Ai Meiniang, and almost at the same time took a step back, and for a while, the living room was full of gasping sounds.

As soon as these two famous men spoke, it was obviously winter, and beads of sweat the size of beans suddenly appeared on Homa's fat face, and they flowed down, wetting the ground with a palm-sized piece, and couldn't help but kowtow to the obedient official again and again, "Little master, our Yan family is really not Litong Fanbang, the soldiers of the Jiangnan Guard have not taken the money for many years, and our Yan family was entrusted by the Wei to sell a batch of depreciated Franc machine guns to himself, which is by no means what the little master thinks." ”

This guy kowtowed again and again, and a large bruise suddenly appeared on his forehead, but unfortunately, the good official didn't believe his words.

Zheng Lingguan knows very well that this person, who is honest in appearance and looks like an honest monk, but in fact he is considered to be in a hurry, can he use the history of the Eastern and Western Han Dynasty to distort the word "", may he be a stupid person?

Therefore, the obedient official motioned to a manservant standing next to him to drag him up, and then handed the letter to Yan Qingwei, "Miss Yan, Uncle Yan treats me very well, I don't know what kind of business your family has, please go back!" ”

What this means is, what kind of business you are doing to kill heads and steal families, I should not have seen it and don't know, anyway, your purpose has been achieved, I have translated the letter for you, and you know what it means, please reply.

The horse elephant was tightly dragged by Wang Hu, the horseman of the Zheng family, Wang Hu also had the strength to drag this fat man to death, and he couldn't kneel down if he wanted to, so he hissed and shouted: "Little master, save my master, our Yan family, where is there anyone who understands this language, even if there is silver, how to go to Ryukyu Island to redeem people!" Little master, the villain will make you a cow and a horse in the next life, for the sake of my lord who was good to you, pull the Yan family and save my lord! ”

He had a handful of tears and snot, and shouted sincerely, but from top to bottom of the Zheng family, who is willing to let the obedient officials go to help the Yan family, watch the jokes, and not to mention that your family is doing a good job, and if you don't report your family, it is already extraordinarily affectionate, and now you want my young master to go to your family? Those are pirates! My young master went to the pirate's den as a scholar, so how can he do it.

Whether it is with the intention of becoming a senior official and entering the cabinet after the young master, or simply thinking that the young master is young, no one is not scolding the Yan family in his heart, your family is going to sink the ship, and you have to drag my young master, and my young master does not owe you.

"Good officer." Ai Mei Niang reacted first, Teng Teng walked to Zheng Guofan's side in a few steps, and grabbed his arm, "You can't listen to other people's words on impulse, a gentleman is not under the melon field, let alone go to the Ryukyu country to deal with those pirates who kill people without blinking." ”

At this time, Zheng Liancheng, the nominal head of the Zheng family, came in from the side, surrounded by Shan Chixia and Shan Sinan, walked to the Taishi chair next to the table of the eight immortals, coughed, and sat down slowly.

"Daddy." The obedient official hurriedly said hello to his father, and Dong Qichang and Chen Jiru also said goodbye, "Uncle Zheng." ”

Zheng Liancheng actually stood outside for a while, originally because he was worried about his wife and sister's face, and he didn't want to go in, but he couldn't go in if he didn't go in, this had already begged his son, and he wanted his son to go to danger, how could he agree, what kind of joke, does my Zheng family have such a big friendship with your Yan family? Do you want my son to repay your family's friendship with his life?

The so-called fateful friendship, in Zheng Liancheng's view, it has to be himself and Master Chixia, the two crawled out of the pile of dead people all the way, and supported each other to return to Daming from the grassland, which is called life-saving friendship.

But even if it is such a fateful relationship, his son and Shan Chixia fell into the water at the same time, he is afraid that his first reaction is to reach out and drag his son first, this has nothing to do with people's surnames, it is purely the instinct of life, you must know that the instinct of biology is to continue the bloodline, if someone says that my first reaction is to drag the friends of life and death, it is purely thinking about the problem, even if the so-called loyal and righteous men who replaced the children of their own children in history must have made a painful choice.

It was almost impossible for Zheng Liancheng to agree to his son's death, so he said to Shan Chixia next to him: "Chixia, it seems that we still have more than a thousand cash in our family!" Prepare a thousand taels of silver for Miss Yan's family......"
