Chapter 601: Pirates

"Young master, you can't! Now there are officers and soldiers everywhere outside, young master, if you go out, you will definitely be caught. The master's hard work is all in vain, our Fang family can't live without the young master! Fang Fu hugged Fang Shihong tightly, no matter how hard he struggled, he wouldn't let go.

kicked Fang Fu to the ground, Fang Shihong hammered and hit Fang Fu's body with red eyes, and his face was soon covered with tears. I don't know how long it took, Fang Shihong fell backwards violently, and the whole person fell to the ground. His face was unusually pale, blood was already flowing from the corners of his mouth, but his eyes were wide open.

"Young Master, Young Master!" Fang Fu crawled up from the ground and shouted loudly, feeling that Fang Shihong was still breathing, Fang Fu breathed a sigh of relief.

The cave slowly fell silent, leaving only Fang Fu's painful moans, and Fang Shihong's heart-rending howls from time to time.

Standing at the door of the palace gate, the Emperor of the Apocalypse looked at the gloomy sky outside, and his mood was slightly heavy. In the past few days, the atmosphere in the entire palace has been very strange, just like the mood of the Emperor of the Apocalypse, the mood of the Emperor of the Apocalypse, which affects the mood of the entire palace.

"Your Majesty, it's cold, put this big coat on!" Chen Hong walked out from behind, holding a big sword in his arms, looked at the Emperor of the Apocalypse with a little worry, and said cautiously.

In October, the weather is slowly getting cooler, and the city of Nanjing already has the breath of winter. The north wind was blowing, and there was already a bone-chilling chill. Draped the big coat on his body, the Emperor of the Apocalypse glanced back at Chen Hong, and said in a deep voice: "Has Wei Guogong been on the fold again?" How many books are these? ”

"Go back to the emperor. It's on, this is the third book! The expression on Chen Hong's face slowly faded, and he said with a serious face.

Nodding slowly, the Emperor of the Apocalypse breathed a sigh of relief, seemed to be a little more relaxed, and said, "Take it to me!" ”

hurriedly walked back, and after a while, Chen Hong walked back. Holding a copy of the recital. He respectfully saluted the Emperor of the Apocalypse and said, "Your Majesty, this is the performance of the Duke of Wei, please take a look at it." ”

Reaching out and picking up the fold, the Emperor of the Apocalypse slowly opened it, and the content was the same as the previous two times. It seems that Wei Guogong also understands it, his attitude is more and more resolute every time, and his words are more and more earnest. Handing the fold to Chen Hong, the Emperor of the Apocalypse said in a deep voice: "Draw up the decree!" Permission to be made by the Duke of Wei. Nanjing's military reform handed him over to Sun Chuanting, and after assisting Sun Chuanting, Wei Guogong moved to Beijing! ”

"Yes. Emperor! Chen Hong did not have the slightest surprise. This day is long overdue, and everyone is waiting for this day.

"Let the governors and governors of the seven southern provinces come to Nanjing, and I want to meet these people!" The Emperor of the Apocalypse glanced back at Chen Hong, with a faint smile on his face, and said confidently.

The Emperor of the Apocalypse tightened the big squeeze on his body, turned around and walked into the main hall. With a faint smile on his face. It was a soothing smile, like an endless smile of comfort.

"Your Majesty, the Jinyi Guards have commanded Lord Luo Sigong Luo to ask to see you!" Chen Lin walked in from the outside, and when he saw Chen Hong nodding to himself, he said respectfully.

He frowned slightly. It has been seven days since Nanjing opened the city, but Luo Sigong still failed to find Fang Shihong and Zhu Youxiang. This made the Emperor of the Apocalypse very dissatisfied. I don't know what happened to Luo Sigong today.

"Let him in!" After thinking for a moment, the Emperor of the Apocalypse instructed Chen Lin.

After a short time, Luo Sigong walked in, picked up his clothes and knelt on the ground, and said respectfully: "Luo Sigong, the commander of the minister's brocade guard, see the emperor!" ”

Waving his hand and motioning for Luo Sigong to get up, the Emperor of the Apocalypse said in a deep voice: "I don't know what happened to Aiqing here?" But Fang Shihong has a whereabouts? ”

"Emperor Qiqi, there is Fang Shihong's whereabouts, but no one has been caught yet!" Luo Sigong's face flashed with shame, and he lowered his voice.

"Really? Listen to it! "The Emperor of the Apocalypse didn't have much hope in his heart, so to say that he told Luo Sigong that I was very dissatisfied now. Unexpectedly, Luo Sigong really found the news and hurriedly asked.

Luo Sigong thought about the wording and said: "Your Majesty, the secret agents of Jinyiwei have tightly blocked the way in and out of Nanjing, but there are not enough people, although there is a little bit of a drop in the bucket with the cooperation of Lord Sun. However, Jinyiwei's spies heard some news, Fang Shihong went to sea by boat and went to find the widows! ”

"Wako?" No one in Daming knows this name, and the harm caused by the Japanese to Daming is still fresh in people's memories now. However, the Emperor of the Apocalypse knew in his heart that there were no pirates now, some were just pirates, in the words of the Ming Dynasty, that were pirates.

Calculating the time, it seems that Zheng Zhilong and the others are about to get up at this time, which is why the Emperor of the Apocalypse is in such a hurry to establish a navy. Now that overseas colonization is carried out, it can be said that it is already lagging behind, and if we do not catch up, I am afraid that there will be no chance in the future. But fortunately, it's not too late, after glancing at Luo Sigong, the Emperor of the Apocalypse said with a slight mockery: "Luo Sigong, can I trust you?" ”

"Put your heart in your heart and replace it with a national soldier!" Luo Sigong hurriedly spoke, there could not be the slightest hesitation on this question, and his head was raised, looking at the Emperor of the Apocalypse resolutely.

"Then why fool me with such words? Am I really confused? Fang Shihong went to find the widow, what did you take me for? Let you deceive like this! The Emperor of the Apocalypse seemed to be very angry, staring straight at Luo Sigong.

At this time, Luo Sigong was a little stunned, with disbelief on his face, where did the Emperor of the Apocalypse start? However, he still knelt on the ground and said loudly: "Your Majesty will replace the ministers with the countrymen, and the ministers should repay them with the countrymen." The ministers dare not deceive the emperor when they die, and the minister's loyalty to the emperor can be seen by the sun and the moon! ”

"Well, don't say that some of these things are gone. You said that Fang Shihong went to find the Japanese Invaders, and I asked you, are there still Japanese Invaders along the coast of the Ming Dynasty? The Emperor of the Apocalypse stared at Luo Sigong and said with dissatisfaction on his face.

Hearing the words of the Emperor of the Apocalypse, Luo Sigong's heart sank, and he immediately understood where the problem was. After thinking about it, he hurriedly explained: "Your Majesty, Weichen lost his words!" Fang Shihong didn't go to find a pirate, but went to sea to become a bandit. Fang Shihong had long colluded with the bandits, and now that the Ming Dynasty has no way to live, he went to sea to become a bandit. ”

"Let a person escape from under his eyelids, you Jinyi Wei is really enough for a bucket of rice!" The Emperor of the Apocalypse nodded, agreeing with Luo Sigong's words, but he was still dissatisfied with Luo Sigong's ability to do things.

"The emperor forgives the sin, the minister is incompetent!" This Luo Sigong couldn't shirk it, and quickly admitted his mistake respectfully.

Waving his hand, the Emperor of the Apocalypse said in a deep voice: "Okay, things have come to this point, and there is no point in saying these words anymore. I have given you Jinyiwei a task, you handle this matter well, and I will not hold you accountable. ”

"Thank you to the emperor for his grace, no matter what happens, the ministers should do their best to complete it." Luo Sigong was immediately overjoyed, this was the Emperor of the Apocalypse who gave him a chance to make up for his mistakes. However, Luo Sigong also knew in his heart that if the matter was messed up this time, he would never have a chance again.

"The people who sent the Jinyi Guard have found out the situation of the bandits, and I want to know what forces the bandits have and what the strength of each force is. The entanglement between these bandits should also be investigated, and find out which pirate Fang Shihong is in! The Emperor of the Apocalypse looked at Luo Sigong and asked, "Can it be done?" ”

This errand is not simple, but Luo Sigong knows that he has no choice, but he does not dare to agree to it. Frowning, he thought for a while, and said, "Your Majesty, I'm afraid this matter is not so easy, Jinyiwei doesn't have secret agents in this area, so he needs to transfer manpower and rearrange it." ”

Looking at Luo Sigong with satisfaction, the Emperor of the Apocalypse nodded with a smile and said, "It's like doing business, go ahead!" Get this errand done well, and I will allow you to recruit people to get this errand done. In Jinyiwei, list a thousand overseas households separately, go and do it! ”

"Thank you, the emperor will not let the emperor down!" Luo Sigong's face suddenly put on a happy color, and said respectfully.

"Okay, let's not say these words, let's do something practical!" For such words, the Emperor of the Apocalypse was really a little impatient, waved his hand, and motioned for Luo Sigong to go out!

Although he was driven out by the Emperor of the Apocalypse, Luo Sigong's face did not have a trace of depression, but more excitement.

Xiamen, a city built by Hongwu in the 20th year, is known as the gate of the building of the country, thus getting the name Xiamen. Xiamen is under the jurisdiction of Quanzhou government, and after more than 200 years of development, it has long been a big city. Although he has experienced the plague of the Japanese invaders, he has recovered his vitality after so many years.

In the east city of Xiamen, there is a Li Mansion, which is a local wealthy businessman. The mansion occupies a large area and is very prosperous. Many people know that this is the mansion of Li Dan, a wealthy businessman in Xiamen.

On the morning of this day, two young men came to the door of the Li Mansion, led by a young man who was only seventeen or eighteen years old, but he showed the shrewdness and ability that a young man rarely had. The eyes are also very deep, and there is no immaturity of peers.

Behind him was an older man, with a strong build, dark skin, and sharp eyes. His hands were full of calluses, and his fingers were very wide, so if anyone who knew how to do it would be able to tell that this person was a boat walker.

Although the imperial court explicitly forbade the people to build ships privately and only go to the sea, but on the seaside, going to the sea is actually not a secret thing.

"Yiguan, Duke Li doesn't know if he is in the mansion, I hope we won't come in vain!" Cheng Yu looked at the gate of the Li Mansion in front of him, looked at the young people around him, and said with a smile.

Both of them are tired, and it is not very comfortable to dare to go for so long. Zheng Yiguan said with a smile: "Godfather should be at home, he won't go to the country at this time!" Alright, no more, let's go inside! ”
