Chapter 581: Yan Siqi
Listening to Fang Shihong's words, Zhu Youxiang nodded expressionlessly, but a hint of worry still flashed on his face. The news of the Emperor of the Apocalypse coming to Nanjing, Zhu Youxiang already knew, so Zhu Youxiang regretted it in his heart. I'm still too anxious, or my father is too anxious.
When his father failed to compete for the throne, his grandmother is still in the capital, although his father was drunk and dreamed of death on the surface, how could he have been willing? When he heard that there was such an opportunity, both his father and himself fell into an inexplicable joy, but I am afraid that things are not as smooth as I thought.
After pondering for a moment, Zhu Youxiang glanced at Fang Shihong and said in a deep voice: "Lord Fang, I don't know how you arranged it?" The emperor is about to go to Nanjing, is there any good way? ”
Zhu Youxiang was completely inquiring, although he was very anxious, but his face still looked like an old god.
Fang Shihong knew that he had to give Zhu Youxiang a peace of mind pill, otherwise things would be difficult to handle, so he thought about it and told his arrangements. Including the fact that someone had already been sent to intercept the Emperor of the Apocalypse, as for whether it was successful or not, Fang Shihong did not dare to pack a ticket.
"Shizi, what we can do now is to wait and see what happens, and once the news comes back, we can support Shizi on our side. In the name of Jingnan, stabilize the south, and as for the Northern Expedition, we can discuss it slowly! Fang Shihong's face was very respectful, and he also put himself very low when he spoke.
At this time, Zhu Youxiang's face was already very ugly, his father was still in Luoyang, once he made a move here, his father would definitely be the turtle in the urn. What to do on your own? His eyes were firmly fixed on Fang Shihong, and he said in a low voice: "Then what about the people of my Fuwang Mansion?" ”
Seeing that Zhu Youxiang was a little angry, Fang Shihong's face was also a little embarrassed, but he had already made up his mind for a long time. If Zhu Youxiang doesn't care about the affairs of the Fu Wangfu, that's right. Just support Zhu Youxiang directly on his side. However, this is morally untenable, and now Zhu Youxiang also has concerns about King Fu, which obviously does not work.
"His Royal Highness, when the prince left Luoyang, things had not yet reached this point. Judging from the current situation, we can only arrange for His Royal Highness King Fu to come to Nanjing as soon as possible. I hope it's still time! However, the world is unpredictable, if you can't do it, His Royal Highness the Prince must be prepared! Fang Shihong thought about it, but decided to give Zhu Youxiang a try, so he said ambiguously.
Zhu Youxiang's face was gloomy again, but he was quietly pondering. If my father is gone, I will be facing the throne. If the father is still there, then he is facing the position of the crown prince.
After pondering for a long time, Zhu Youxiang spoke: "Do your best." Listen to destiny! You arrange it as soon as possible, and you must be attentive. If it really doesn't follow destiny, then there is no way! ”
Stared at Fang Shihong, afraid that he would misunderstand, and hurriedly said: "In the name of Jingnan, my father is more suitable, do you understand?" ”
Fang Shihong nodded, of course he understood this. King Fu and King Fu's son are not half a little worse. Gritted his teeth. Fang Shihong said respectfully: "Your Royal Highness, rest assured, Your Highness will arrange it!" ”
Nodding, Zhu Youxiang smiled and said, "Lord Fang, go get busy!" This Shizi has also been tired all the way, and now it's time to take a break. In addition, the news of this prince's arrival in Nanjing, Lord Fang must keep it secret and not leak a single bit. ”
"Rest assured. Except for the necessary people, Xia Guan will never leak the affairs of the son. The prince had a long journey, and the next official took his leave first! With a respectful salute, Fang Shihong walked out quickly.
Back in his mansion, Fang Shihong did not arrange the affairs of King Fu. Instead, he found his old butler Fang Fu.
"Fang Fu has seen the young master, I don't know what the young master commands?" Fang Fu looked like he was in his fifties, and at a glance at his mustache, the whole person seemed very shrewd.
Unlike Liang Shiying, Fang Fu is the person Fang Shihong trusts the most. This housekeeper, who grew up in Fang's family, is loyal to the other party's family. The things he is responsible for are also different from Liang Shiying, who is responsible for contacting officials, while Fang Fu is responsible for the Fang family's business.
Although Liang Shiying also knew some things about Fang Shihong, he only knew about it, and Fang Fu was in charge of the Fang family's smuggling.
"Fang Fu, have you arranged everything you have arranged? Did the contact with the Dutch go well? Fang Shihong didn't say anything, and went straight to the point.
"Back to the young master, everything is going well, the Dutch have occupied Penghu and are discussing trade with the imperial court. The imperial court wanted the Dutch to push out Penghu, but that was just wishful thinking, how could the Dutch agree? Fang Fu had a faint mockery on his face, he knew very well what kind of virtue those Dutch people were.
Glaring at Fang Fu, Fang Shihong said with some unhappiness: "Don't worry about the affairs of the imperial court and the Dutch, how about our Fang family's fleet?" How long will it take? ”
"Back to the young master, there are a total of ten boats we bought from the Dutch, and we will be there in a few days. The Dutch also agreed to leave an island in Penghu, let's go! A flash of worry flashed on Fang Fu's face, and he said hesitantly: "But it seems to be a little worried, if those Dutch people are treacherous, we are not their opponents overseas." ”
"Of course this young master knows that these Dutchmen naturally can't believe it, but you don't have to worry. We just bought some Dutch boats, who said that Young Master Ben was going to Penghu? Once we have a ship, we don't have to rely on the Dutch! Young Master Ben has already found a good relationship. Nanjing is a success, once it fails, Young Master Ben has also arranged a way out! "Fang Shihong has a touch of ridicule on his face, you want me to die with you? That's a good idea.
Seeing Fang Shihong's proud appearance, Fang Fu knew that the opportunity to pat himself on the back had come, and hurriedly said respectfully: "Young Master is wise and wise, naturally he is not comparable to mortals, I don't know if Young Master can reveal a little?" Let Fang Fu also be happy? ”
Looking at Fang Fu proudly, Fang Shihong said with a smile: "Do you know Yan Siqi? ”
Hearing this name, Fang Fu was slightly stunned, looked at Fang Shihong in disbelief, and said, "Could it be that the young master has contacted Yan Siqi?" ”
This really made Fang Fu unexpected, and he couldn't help but admire Fang Shihong's ability even more in his heart. Yan Siqi is a native of the Ming Dynasty, but many people give Yan Siqi another name, that is, Wakou.
It is said that Yan Siqi was bullied by the eunuchs in his early years, killed his servants in anger, and then fled to the Wa Kingdom. He became a minor official in the Wa Kingdom, but he was not satisfied, so he united many big celebrities to rebel in the Wa Kingdom. It's just that the matter was revealed, and Yan Siqi retreated to Yizhou with people.
Now the power in Yizhou can be said to be in full swing, with dozens of warships and thousands of generations, it can be said that he is an overseas king.
"It's this Yan Siqi, now that the Dutch have occupied Penghu, the next target will definitely be Yizhou. Although Yan Siqi is strong, he is still weak in the face of the menacing Dutch. At this time, we passed, which is tantamount to sending charcoal in the snow. Occupying a place in Yan Siqi's place is also a very simple matter. The ten ships that Young Master Ben bought from the Dutch are the future capital of our Fang family! Fang Shihong's face was very proud, and he simply admired himself.
"What's next? Please command, young master! Fang Fu knew that he was okay with this, and he wouldn't say anything when he asked Fang Shihong, so he asked respectfully.
Looking at Fang Fu with satisfaction, Fang Shihong smiled and nodded, this Fang Fu is not only good at doing things, but also very good at being a person. After thinking about it, Fang Shihong spoke: "You are mainly responsible for transferring our Fang family's property, as for the land and property, what can be sold will be sold quietly." Be careful not to let others find out! ”
"Young master, isn't it too early to sell the land now? If Nanjing succeeds, won't the gains outweigh the losses? Fang Fu was suddenly a little stunned, could it be that the young master expected to fail?
Glancing at Fang Fu, Fang Shihong said loudly: "What do you know?" Nanjing is done, young master, am I still a little bit away? What's the use of asking for land if it fails! ”
"Yes, the young master is wise, as if he is blunt!" After thinking about it, Fang Fu said again: "But young master, it seems that we are not the only ones who are preparing for the back road, it seems that the rest of the adults are also making arrangements in private." ”
"You don't care about this, human nature, no one wants to end up in a different place. They don't come to you, and you don't have to go to them. It's still quiet in private, and you can't leak the news, do you understand? Fang Shihong waved his hand, it was originally a matter of chasing ducks to the shelves, and he had no confidence, let alone others.
Fang Fu had an idea in his heart, and said respectfully: "Young master, don't worry, Fang Fu will do it!" ”
When Fang Fu left, Fang Shihong sat on the chair and gently groped the handle of the chair. I want to do this, but what if I don't? If you don't do anything, there is only one end, and that is to be killed by the Emperor of the Apocalypse.
It's good to be like this now, success is naturally good, and if you don't succeed, you can save your life. In the future, it is not necessarily a way to live abroad. Although I was reluctant in my heart, I had no choice but to force it to this part.
"Young Master, Fang Ming asks to see you!" While Fang Shihong was thinking wildly, a voice suddenly came to mind outside.
"Come in!" Fang Shihong was not surprised, and said lightly.
The one who walked in was a strong man in his thirties, with very dark skin, and he looked like a person who had been tanning for a long time. Fang Shihong didn't talk nonsense, and said directly: "You immediately send a message to Luoyang and ask them to arrange for King Fu to come to Nanjing!" ”
"Young Master, will you arrange it now?" Fang Ming was slightly stunned, why was he so anxious? Slightly puzzled, asked.
Waving his hand, Fang Shihong was in the mood to say more, and said directly: "If you want to do it, you can do it, where is there so much nonsense!" ”
"Yes, young master, the little one will go!" Fang Ming hurriedly replied, turned around and walked out. (To be continued......)
