Aoki Mingxin's basement is very cleverly built, and the entrance is in a cave with a rockery in the backyard, and if you don't look carefully, you won't think that there is a hole in this small, ordinary-looking cave.

Speaking of which, Aoki Mingxin was unlucky, originally the Ming Army's sailors, soldiers and Li Yuntian's guards had searched the courtyard inside and out twice, but they couldn't find the basement entrance.

Not long ago, a soldier patrolling the backyard felt an urgent need to urinate, so he left the team and ran to this cave in the rockery to pee, and the urine column happened to fall on the bluestone slab laid at the entrance, and the subtle abnormal sound from colliding with the bluestone slab attracted the soldier's attention.

So, after the soldier finished peeing, he didn't care about the smell of urine and leaned over to check the floor that was soaked by his urine, and soon was surprised to find that the bluestone slab was hollow underneath, so he hurriedly reported to the patrol team leader, and the team leader reported it level by level, attracting Wu Ziyan and other middle and senior military attachés.

At first, everyone didn't think that this basement was a place to store belongings, and thought that there were people hiding inside, so they carried out a series of scares, but there was no reaction inside.

After sending someone into the basement to check, everyone was surprised to find that there was no one in the basement at all, and it was full of dazzling gold, silver and jewelry, so Wu Ziyan hurriedly came to report to Li Yuntian.

Basement.

Accompanied by Lei Ting, Liu Wenqing and others, Li Yuntian inspected several rooms in the basement, which were full of boxes of gold, silver and jewelry, and the shelves were densely packed with antiques and corals, which made people a little dazzled.

According to Li Yuntian's calculations, the property in these rooms is worth at least three or four million taels of silver when combined, which shows that Aoki Mingxin is really wealthy, and it also reflects his strong power.

"Register these properties and make a book, and the emperor has an edict that all the seizures will be transferred to the Wutang when the Japanese are pacified." Li Yuntian came to the three tall red coral trees, first instructed Wu Ziyan, and then pointed to the three red coral trees and said, "Send these three to the palace in the name of the martial arts hall to the Empress Dowager, the Empress Dowager and Fairy Hu." ”

Fairy Hu refers to Empress Hu who was abolished by Emperor Xuande, and it is also very strange to say, although Empress Dowager Sun is now the Empress Dowager, but whether it is in the court or in the palace, Empress Hu will be ranked in front of Empress Dowager Sun, and Empress Dowager Zhang is also listing Empress Hu above Empress Dowager Sun.

Empress Dowager Sun was not dissatisfied with this, she knew that Emperor Xuande was not right after the abolition of the name, and Empress Dowager Zhang and Emperor Xuande were very kind to Empress Hu, so she also lived under Empress Hu with peace of mind, no matter how her son had become the emperor, she had nothing to fight for in the harem.

The Ming army sailors found such a large sum of money on Xiaoliuqiu Island, and it was bound that some people in the court would be blushing, so Li Yuntian took precautions and gave the three priceless red coral trees to the Empress Dowager Zhang and others, so that if others wanted to criticize this matter in front of the Empress Dowager Zhang, Li Yuntian would not have to worry.

It is worth mentioning that there are many rules for giving gifts to the harem, the least one is to distinguish the priority, of course, the Empress Dowager Zhang is the first, and the red coral tree obtained is also the largest and best, followed by the Empress Dowager Sun, and then Empress Hu.

Although the actual status of Empress Hu is higher than that of Empress Dowager Sun, Empress Dowager Sun is the Empress Dowager of the Ming Dynasty and the mother of the orthodox emperor, and Li Yuntian and these courtiers naturally rank Empress Dowager Sun in front of Empress Hu on formal occasions.

"The lowly duty is written." Wu Ziyan bowed to Li Yuntian when he heard this, and responded in a deep voice.

"By the way, I ordered to go down and set up a relief office in the town, and before the Japanese escaped, burn, kill and loot in the town, and we must settle the people in the town so that they can restore their normal life to the fullest." Li Yuntian got up and left the basement, and when he walked out of the rockery cave, he remembered something, and opened his mouth to instruct Wu Ziyan, who was following behind.

"Let's do it." Wu Ziyan knew that Li Yuntian was concerned about the safety of the people in the town, so he didn't dare to slack off, bowed to Li Yuntian and left in a hurry.

"Xianggong, you seem to value him very much" After Wu Ziyan left, Lei Ting glanced at his back and said with a smile.

Since Li Yuntian went to sea on the Ming Yang, he took Wu Ziyan with him and asked him to assist in handling some affairs of the Ming Army's naval division.

Lei Ting knew that Li Yuntian was deliberately cultivating Wu Ziyan, this was exactly Li Yuntian's way of employing people, and the biggest difference between Li Yuntian and other officials in the Ming Dynasty was that he had the courage to delegate power and delegate power to his military attachés.

After all, no matter how powerful Li Yuntian is, he is just a person, and he doesn't have the energy to take care of all aspects at all, so at this time, he needs to vigorously promote some shrewd, capable and trustworthy people to assist him in handling the affairs at hand.

As a result, the policies assigned by Li Yuntian were faithfully implemented, and the subordinate yamen of the Jiangwutang were also operating in an orderly manner.

"Make the best use of talents, make the best use of things, he is a piece of jade, if you can carve it carefully, you will be able to achieve a great cause, and the sailor needs a talent like him." Li Yuntian did not deny his appreciation for Wu Ziyan, smiled at Lei Ting and said to Liu Wenqing, "Qing'er, you have to cultivate him more in the future." ”

"Qing'er wrote it down." Liu Wenqing smiled slightly when she heard this, and bowed to Li Yuntian, Li Yuntian's eyes are usually very accurate, and it seems that Wu Ziyan's future in the sailor is unlimited.

In the afternoon, Li Yuntian met the three leaders of the group of Japanese robbers who belonged to Keiko Yamaguchi in the living room in the front yard of Aoki Mingxin's mansion.

Li Yuntian sat on the Taishi chair in front of the living room, and the military attachés of the Navy Master sat on the left and right sides below, sitting upright one by one.

When Keiko Yamaguchi led the three leaders of the scar-faced Japanese invaders into the door, the attention of the military attache at the scene suddenly focused on Keiko Yamaguchi, and a look of surprise appeared on his face.

The military attachés in the house had already heard that Keiko Yamaguchi had defeated three masters in a row and became the lord of those lords, and no one could have imagined that this female military attache who was born in a martial arts hall turned out to be from Japan.

"Lord Wang, the humble position has already recruited the widows who tried to escape, and I have come to restore my life." Under the gaze of everyone, Keiko Yamaguchi bowed to Li Yuntian and said in a coquettish voice, Scarface and the other three Japanese leaders hurriedly knelt behind.

"Good." Li Yuntian nodded when he heard this, and looked at the three of Scarface quietly, "Are you really repentant and no longer want to harm my Daming coast?" ”

"Lord Wang, when we witness the power of the Great Tomorrow, we will never dare to offend again." Hearing this, the leader of the scar-faced Japanese robbers kneeling in the middle raised his head and replied in a deep voice, he was not speaking Japanese at this time, but a Hokkien accent.

"This king asks you, which of you is Aoki Akishin's subordinate?" Li Yuntian felt that the Scarfaced Wakou had a relatively high status among the three, otherwise he would not have answered his words, so he asked expressionlessly.

"Lord Wang, the villain is a subordinate of Aoki Mingxin." At this time, the stout leader of the Japanese robbers bowed to Li Yuntian and replied in a stiff Hokkien dialect.

"Where does Akira Aoki have a residence?" From the answer of the stout leader of the Japanese Invaders, Li Yuntian immediately knew that this person was a Japanese national, and looked at him and asked in a deep voice.

"Lord Yu, as far as the villain knows, Aoki Mingxin not only has residences in Yangzhou, Jinling and Fuzhou in the Ming Dynasty, but also has residences on Kyushu Island and Nanyang in Japan."

The leader of the stout Japanese robbers thought for a moment and said to Li Yuntian, "Except for this mansion in Jilong Port, the villain only knows that his residence in Japan is in Hirado, Kyushu Island, and his mansion is huge and luxurious, and its scale is close to that of the general's mansion, and the daimyo of Kyushu Island are all closely related to him. ”

Li Yuntian couldn't help but show a sneer at the corner of his mouth when he heard this, he naturally knew that Aoki Mingxin had built a mansion covering a vast area in Hirado, Kyushu Island, in the style of the big families in the south of the Ming River, and even the daimyo on Kyushu Island might sigh to himself, it was simply arrogant.

"This king asks you, which of you is a person of light and filial piety in the mountains and seas?" Then he turned to look at the leader of the scar-faced Japanese and the emaciated Japanese leader, since the stout Japanese leader was Aoki Mingxin's person, then naturally some of them were subordinates of Yamami Mitsutaka.

According to the information controlled by Li Yuntian, Yamakai Mitsutaka is not only the Ming clan but also attached to Aoki Mingxin in the early days, and later with his shrewd mind and extraordinary courage, he gradually emerged and became the second person in the Japanese Kou, and shared the sea smuggling business of the Ming Dynasty with Aoki Mingxin.

"Lord Wang, the villain is a subordinate of Shanhai Guangxiao." Hearing this, the leader of the scar-faced Japanese robbers and the emaciated leader of the leaning pirates bowed to Li Yuntian and replied in unison.

Unlike the scar-faced Japanese Kou, the emaciated Japanese Kou with an accent from Jiangsu and Zhejiang is also very stiff when he speaks, and it seems that he is the same as the stout Japanese Kou.

"Where is Mitsuyo Shanhai?" Li Yuntian glanced at the stout wolf and asked quietly.

"Lord Wang, Shanhai Guangxiao went to North Korea last month, and there were some problems in his business in North Korea, it seems that there are local heroes who deliberately make it difficult for the government to detain a batch of goods, and he needs to go to solve it in person." The leader of the scar-faced pirates bowed down and replied.

"Do you know who attacked Ningbo City not long ago?"

Li Yuntian's brows furrowed slightly, he didn't expect that Aoki Mingxin and Shanhai Mitsutaka were not on Xiaoliuqiu Island, which made him feel a little disappointed in his heart, and then his face sank, and he looked at the three leaders of the scar-faced Japanese Bandits with a stern expression, the three of them were the famous leaders of the Waikos, and they should know something.
