"Since last year, he has had many conflicts with the Dutch, and I heard that he wants to recruit peace, but the court does not seem to be very sincere. He only had to be killed by a coward. ”

After Li Guozhu finished speaking, he raised his head and took a sip, of course Han Bin echoed him, and said: "What Li Gongzi said is that just because he Zheng Yiguan also wants to be an official, it is far behind." ”

"The second boss is wrong."

Han Bin looked at it, it was Chen Xin again, this person flickered yesterday, generous to everyone, let everyone share the reward, and personally buried a few dead sailors, the whole ship admired him, and even looked at him very differently, Han Bin regretted giving him the turtledove at the beginning, otherwise how could this person have a high status because of the murderer, and at the same time angry in his heart, he has been on the ship with these people for several years, and has never been so popular, he is a financial vice-president, only twenty days, has achieved the same status as himself. Now that he echoed it, he also had to oppose it, and he couldn't help but be angry.

"What is the opinion of the Chen account room, even if it is the King of the Pure Sea, the imperial court's surrender back then was fake, when did the imperial court put us and other maritime merchants in its eyes." Han Bin deliberately called Chen Xin as the account room, which reminded Li Gongzi that this person was just a settler. And Wang Zhi, the king of the Pure Sea he mentioned, was also killed by Hu Zongxian after Zhao'an. Since then, Haikou has often fought desperately, adding a lot of trouble to Qi Jiguang and Yu Dayou at that time. All the maritime merchants know this.

Chen Xin said unhurriedly: "What the second master said was that during the Jiajing period, the imperial court did not have peace of mind, but it is now the seventh year of the Apocalypse. ”

Han Bin said angrily: "The Apocalypse is also the world of his Zhu family, so what's the difference." ”

Li Guozhu also looked at Chen Xin quietly to see what he could say.

"During the Jiajing period, the nine sides were relatively stable, and there were fierce generals such as Qi Shaobao and Yu Daxuan, naturally disdainful of recruiting a Haikou, Wanli forty-six years, Nuerhachi raised troops with seven hatreds, the Ming Dynasty was defeated and retreated in Liaodong, this time the new Nu chieftain attacked Ningjin again, coerced Shenjing, and there was a rebellion in the southwest that was not settled, these two places have overwhelmed the imperial court, you say that if this Zheng Yiguan makes trouble in Fujian at this time, what will the imperial court do?"

Han Bin was stunned for a moment, and before he could think of how to answer, Chen Xin had already continued: "If the conditions are right, the imperial court will really recruit An, this person can make people like Li Gongzi value him so much, he must be a very shrewd person, and he has such a strong strength in his hands, once he is recruited to become a Ming official army, it will definitely be difficult to control." ”

Li Guozhu finally frowned, Zheng Zhilong is very familiar to him, a talent, proficient in Hokkien, Dutch, Spanish, Portuguese, Japanese, Catholic baptism, also worship Mazu, Buddhism, and even play the Spanish acoustic guitar, and all parties are inextricably linked, very shrewd, and thick-skinned, if you really become an official and soldier, you should be very able to mix. Song Wenxian looked at Chen Xin, holding his beautiful hair with his left hand, thoughtfully.

Han Binwu was unconvinced: "What about the officers and soldiers, the officers and soldiers killed by Lao Tzu ......"

The black cannon coughed twice, and Han Bin remembered that Song Wenxian, the official representative, was still here, although it was all the way, but behind it were all official people, and it was always not good-looking.

Song Wenxian squinted his eyes and didn't hear it. Chen Xin took the opportunity to suppress: "It's all my own people here, it's okay for the second master to talk about it, if you return to Daming, you should be cautious and don't cause unnecessary troubles." ”

Hei Pao said: "Brother Chen's words are reasonable, the second boss should be tighter." ”

Scar was looking at Han Bin unpleasantly these days, and said: "It turns out that the second boss has also killed officials and soldiers, and if he catches it, he will be killed." ”

Han Bin's face was flushed with anger, the black cannon had been killed like a scar, speaking of him, it was righteous and righteous, and it was not easy to attack, Li Guozhu looked at a few people, and gave Han Bin a glass of wine with a smile, which made Han Bin confused.

Li Guozhu is actually still thinking about Chen Xin's words just now, since Wang Zhi, there are few Haikou recruits, one is the Ming court's consistent tough policy towards the Ming court, and the other is that the Haikou itself has great doubts about the Ming court, and occasionally Zhao'an is also a mutual defense, which cannot last long, so he has always thought that there is no such possibility, but now Chen Xin pointed out that the main threat to the Ming Dynasty is the Houjin in the north, and it is very likely that the Haikou will change to a relaxed policy.

Li Guozhu said to Chen Xin: "Deputy Chen Cai's words are thought-provoking, if I think according to Deputy Chen Cai, how should I deal with this bureaucracy." I hope to give me some advice. ”

Chen Xin pretended not to understand too much, looked at Song Wenxian, Song Wenxian was quite understanding, and explained to Chen Xin: "Brother Chen may not know much about the twists and turns in this, this Zheng Yiguan is said to be the righteous brother of Li Gongzi, who used to be deeply respected by Li Gongzi in the first examination, but he was unbearable, and took advantage of Li Gongzi's aftermath of dealing with the first examination in the Japanese country, swallowed up the Li family's foreign assets, and then dominated the sea off Fujian. ”

Li Guozhu said hatefully: "Swallowing up property does not count, this person is worried about my revenge, and has sent people back to the Japanese country many times to try to assassinate me, and intercepted my ships in Fujian. ”

Chen Xin knew that most of what Li Guozhu said was the truth, Zheng Zhilong suddenly rose in the fifth year of the Apocalypse, and a year ago he was just a translator on a Dutch ship, and after swallowing Li Dan's property and receiving Yan Siqi's forces, he became the strongest force in the outer seas of Fujian, when he was only twenty-one years old. Because he has a wife surnamed Yan, some people speculate that he is Yan Siqi's son-in-law, of course, there are also more vicious, as Scar just said, Yan Siqi is good at Longyang, and Zheng Zhilong relies on male color to get weight. But Li Dan's wealth in Bengang should be Zheng Zhilong's biggest gain, Li Dan has been operating for decades, with his ability to be the largest maritime merchant in East Asia, Bengang's assets are at least millions of silver taels, but unfortunately they were all taken away by this conspirator. I always worry about others asking for other people's things, so it is reasonable for Zheng Zhilong to send someone to deal with his brother-in-law in order to no longer worry.

Chen Xin thought about millions of taels of silver, and he almost flowed into his mouth. It was easy to swallow the saliva, and he looked at Li Guozhu seriously and said: "Such an unrighteous and unfilial person, everyone will be punished, and it is my honor to be able to do a little bit for Brother Li." ”

Han Bin looked at Chen Xin with infinite jealousy, this person relied on two mouths, pumped all the way, bragged and farted with sailors at any time on the boat, up to Song Wenxian, down to the cook who cooked, anyone could talk for a long time, this Li Guozhu was well-informed, and he was actually attracted so much attention by his few words.

Chen Xin thought about the wording and said, "Gongzi Li, let's first determine a question, do you want to take revenge or become the biggest maritime merchant?" ”

Li Guozhu hesitated for a while, and finally said, "Revenge." ”

"Revenge is to take his life or take back the goods, for now I will first talk about the advantages and disadvantages of Li Gongzi and Zheng Zhilong, if there is anything wrong, please forgive Li Gongzi."

Li Guozhu can't wait: "Brother Chen, please speak." At this time, his title has changed to Brother Chen.

"The people that Li Gongzi relies on are, firstly, the assets left by Ling Zun in the Wa Kingdom, so that Ling Zun has been operating for many years, and it will not be much weaker than Bengang, and secondly, in the geographical advantages of the Wa Kingdom, Li Gongzi's strength in the Wa Kingdom is far stronger than Zheng Zhilong. He Zheng Zhilong has a thousand boats, and only a few dozen can drive to the Wa Kingdom. And Li Gongzi's disadvantages are also two, first, lack of supply, and second, the power in Fujian cannot be compared with Zheng Zhilong. ”

Li Guozhu nodded as he listened.

Chen Xin continued: "Zheng Zhilong has three advantages, one is that Fujian has a large number of overseas invaders, he has both engulfed assets and ships from Yan Siqi. Second, the sea off Fujian that he occupies is an important source of trade, with many good ports, and it can trade with Nanyang without doing trade with the Japanese countries, as well as doing cargo transit for the Netherlands, Britain, Spain, Francois and other countries, and still make a lot of profits. Third, it is close to the Ming Dynasty, with the current shape of the Ming Dynasty, Zhao'an may be stored zài, once Zhao'an, it will become the Ming official army, if he communicates with the official gentry, get the support of the Ming official, and then unify the various departments of the Haikou, it is a group of officials and thieves, Li Gongzi think about it, there are both trade profits, and a large number of people of their own, as well as the support of the Ming official, how to deal with such an opponent? ”

Li Guozhu frowned, if this situation really occurs, Zheng Zhilong is the next King of the Pure Sea, and it is even more terrifying than the King of the Pure Sea, Chen Xin's original time and space Zheng Zhilong is such a being, of course, the process is much more tortuous, after Zheng Zhilong recruited An, the original subordinates all broke away from him and started a war with him, and it took eight years to dominate the rivers and lakes. But now Li Guozhu has no way of knowing that these people will rebel against the nest, and according to the current situation, there may be a kind of shape like Chen Xin said.

Suddenly, he frowned, stood up with a smile and said, "Brother Chen, he made it clear that although he was still unsatisfied, everyone who had worked hard today went to the other courtyard to rest early." ”

Han Bin Heipao and the others were a little stunned, and said well, why did they suddenly have to call for rest again, but since Li Guozhu had already stood up, he had no choice but to get up and say goodbye. Song Wenxian and Chen Xin both knew that Li Guozhu was afraid of many people, so they would definitely have to find Chen Xin alone.

Li Guozhu sent them to the door and said to one of his attendants: "You arrange for Mr. Song and Brother Chen to rest in the other courtyard, and the injured people are also arranged there." ”

The man agreed, and Li Guozhu said to a few people: "A few people will go to the other courtyard to rest first, but the other courtyard can't accommodate many people, except for the wounded, everyone else had better stay on the boat, so as not to spread the news of the boat." ”

The black cannon promised: "Don't worry, Gongzi Li, this is what I can do, I ordered it before I got off the boat, and I will be on the boat at night, so I won't let people slip out." ”

Chen Xin and the others saluted together to say goodbye to Li Guozhu, and the new emon has been following closely behind Li Guozhu, and his hand is on the hilt of the knife at any time, it seems that Li Guozhu said that there was indeed an assassination.

The group followed the Li family's entourage to another courtyard, which was a two-entry courtyard, with eight rooms outside and six rooms in the second, several wounded people lived in the outside, and Song Wenxian and other leaders were arranged in the second entry. Several maids were still busy arranging the bedding in the house.

Four seriously wounded and several lightly wounded were transported here, one of the seriously wounded had a punctured stomach, and he was held up here, and he was already dying, and the wound of the person whose eyes were damaged by the bamboo chip also supulated, and it was estimated that it would be difficult to live. The two broken legs and broken hands are better, Chen Xin insisted on using boiling water to disinfect the cotton cloth and then bandage, so that their wounds did not deteriorate too much, and after arriving in private Hong Kong today, Li Guozhu sent a doctor with some medicine, and he may be able to survive.

Chen Xin found a maid and asked her to boil the cotton cloth in boiling water and then dry it, ready to change it for the two of them tomorrow, the person with the injured eye has been wailing in the house, and everyone has a little bad taste when they hear it, and it always reminds people of the bloody day.

After Song Wenxian waited for the maid to leave, he pulled Chen Xin aside and said in a low voice: "Brother Chen, this Li Gongzi's first test is Li Dan, and he is a famous person in this country, if you can get his help, you will have a lot of convenience as a maritime merchant in the future." ”

Chen Xin knew that he reminded himself to help Li Guozhu come up with ideas, and he was also kind, so he agreed with a smile, and he also asked Song Wenxian: "Mr. Song, what does this mean, are we not in Nagasaki?" Are you going to deliver the goods in Goto? ”

"Yes, our ship does not have a seal, although Li Gongzi is an old acquaintance, but this thing is also unwilling to borrow, we give him the goods, he earns some, we earn some, and it saves trouble."

"Is it like that every time?"

"It's all the same, this private port is only half a day's journey to Nagasaki, and he has to make a profit, but who told him to have a red seal."

Chen Xin thought about it and said, "Isn't there a vermilion seal on the vermilion seal ship?" ”

Song Wenxian said with a smile: "The name of the shipowner is written on it, and the subordinates of the Nagasaki Command should all know these shipowners, how do we go and tell them?" ”

Chen Xin smiled when he heard it, and he also asked casually.

Song Wenxian looked around and asked mysteriously, "Brother Chen, has the goods on the Zhuyin ship been counted?" ”

Chen Xin looked at him, and had already guessed what he was going to say, and lowered his voice: "The cabin is small, just a rough guess, others asked me and I said that I couldn't take out the points, anyway, the varieties are pepper, dragon incense, **, silk is a little, and there are some cloths that I have never seen." ”

Song Wenxian nodded: "The goods on the Zhuyin ship were also bought by Li Gongzi, I had already thrown the account book of the Japanese ship into the sea that day, and now there is none, it is up to you to do it, if Brother Chen does a good job, you can earn half of the capital of being a maritime merchant yourself." ”

Chen Xin knew what Song Wenxian meant, that is, to give some price to Li Guozhu, and then Chen Xin made a fake account, he and Chen Xin swallowed part of the payment, Chen Xin saw what he said bluntly, and did not blush: "Mr. Song rest assured, what can I do, Mr. A hard-earned money is indispensable at that time, but Mr. must be present when ordering the goods to seal the mouths of others." ”

"Naturally, I estimate that Li Guozhu will come to you, if it is convenient, you can talk to him about this first. If it's not convenient, I'll go to him. ”

Chen Xin nodded while looking around, this Song Wenxian looked at Sven, in fact, he also had a bad stomach, no wonder he didn't know what to learn well. The two of them have been in trouble all the way, and after a few temptations, they have been wolf-bèi, and the best thing is that now these two people in charge are not the owners of the goods, and they just colluded.

And Song Wenxian can't do this alone, Chen Xin's financial cooperation must be cooperated, Chen Xin alone doesn't want to swallow it alone, Song Wenxian must be the one who provokes the head to seal the mouth of others, Chen Xin doesn't know what Zhao Dongjia said to Song Wenxian on his deathbed, when everyone else was sad that day, Song Wenxian first found the account book of the Japanese boat, and threw it into the sea to destroy the evidence, and then said on the island that he had spoken well for himself in front of Zhao Dong's family and narrowed the distance with himself. If Song Wenxian had planned today's income in a short period of time when Zhao Dongjia was injured, then his scheming was actually far above himself.

Chen Xin saw Lu Donkey coming out of a room, he was stabbed in the right arm at that time, it was not heavy, and he was also sent here, Chen Xin was about to go over, but Song Wenxian next to him suddenly asked again: "Brother Chen, you said that Zheng Yiguan recruited an official and army has many benefits, why don't you make an official and military yourself?" ”

Chen Xin turned his head to look at him in amazement and muttered, "Yes."
