Chapter 635: The Pirates Return

"Your Highness, please ask Rong Chen to verify." Wu Fengyi said.

Zhu Houhuang said: "Okay, go and check." ”

Wu Fengyi immediately said, "Yes." He slowly retreated.

Zhu Houhuang also knew that Wu Fengyi's was not easy, after all, there were too many places to be controlled by Dongyong Jinyiwei, and from Beijing to Guangzhou, all coastal ships should pay attention. There is also the first good place of the Beijing Division, and it is at the foot of the Son of Heaven, which needs special attention, Ningbo, Fujian, and Quanzhou are all important places for sailors, and if you want to crusade against Dongyong, you must leave these ports. So monitor carefully.

The land of the two provinces directly affects the connection between Dongyong and Annan, especially Guangxi, where there are still so many wolf soldiers in Annan and need to be closely controlled. And the new land of Annan needs to clean up the remnants of the fight against King Yong. Naturally, you have to pay a lot of attention. In addition, Dongyong has to change its strategic focus and will have to move to the south sooner or later, so there are many lines buried here. Not to mention Goa, and Europe, also need to be dealt with in advance.

Wait a minute.

Zhu Houhuang's desire for information is unlimited, but the financial allocation for Jinyiwei is limited. The more Zhu Houhuang asked Wu Fengyi, the more Wu Fengyi could not complete the task.

And the Japanese shipping lanes have been unpopular information in the past two years, and they were concerned about it at the beginning, so as soon as Zhu Houhuang mentioned it, Wu Fengyi had to go back to the file immediately.

After Wu Fengyi returned, she acted vigorously and brought all the detailed information about pirates in the East China Sea.

But after a while, this information was already placed in front of Zhu Houhuang.

Zhu Houhuang looked at it hastily and said, "Is that all?" ”

Wu Fengyi said stubbornly: "Yes." ”

Wu Fengyi couldn't help but be nervous, Wu Fengyi wanted to read the content of this file, and he also knew after reading these files that the recent period of time, that is, Zhu Houhuang's expedition to Annan, to the time period when Annan was completely completed, more precisely, after Jiajing ascended the throne. A large number of unknown maritime merchants appeared on the sea, and they were still doing business honestly under Dongyong's regulations at first. But soon, things won't be right.

Especially since the beginning of this year, there have been several major cases that have been discovered, and at least three ships have been hijacked after they went to sea. But what about the ships that have no news? Was it a storm, or was there no one left behind in the boatload?

At least in just two years, there were several pirates in the East China Sea and on the Japanese routes. This doesn't make sense. So Wu Fengyi didn't pay much attention to these non-hot spots before, he didn't put too much energy into it at all, and now when he looked at it, he found a large blank space, what was the strength of these pirates, and where did they come from. It's all blank.

Zhu Houhuang said: "Give Gu Cha." ”

Wu Fengyi said: "Yes." Your Highness, there are some things that the minister doesn't know whether to say or not. ”

Zhu Houhuang said: "Say." ”

Wu Fengyi said: "Although the minister doesn't know where these pirates came from, there are a few points that must be explained. First, a few years ago, His Royal Highness had cleaned up this sea area, and the pirates in this sea area were either eliminated or recruited, although on the East China Sea, it can't be said that there are no pirates in the climate, but the names of these pirates are clearly not time-honored. The sudden rise of these pirates is very abnormal. Therefore, I thought that these pirates were of the same nature as the pirates before them. “

"You mean, the white gloves of those Jiangnan clans?" Zhu Houhuang said.

Wu Fengyi said: "What does the minister mean that there must be someone behind these pirates, and they are by no means simple pirates, as for the white gloves that His Highness said?" The minister didn't understand. ”

Zhu Houhuang said: "You don't need to understand. He turned around and said, "Go and pass on Liu Laodao." ”

"Yes." A guard outside said.

Zhu Houhuang said: "Uncle, Gu allocates hundreds of thousands of taels of silver to Jinyiwei every year, these silvers are enough for Lone to form an army, if Jinyiwei still has such ambiguous information in the future, don't blame Gu for not being emotional." ”

Wu Fengyi said: "Weichen deserves to die, please forgive your highness." ”

In the middle of speaking, you will fall to your knees. But how could Zhu Houhuang let Wu Fengyi kneel on his knees? Anyway, Wu Fengyi is his die-hard loyalist and his uncle.

Zhu Houhuang hugged Wu Fengyi and said, "Uncle said this." This time, Liu Laodao was sent to the north, and his uncle was asked to send elite soldiers to the north, and he must ask him to find out the situation. ”

Wu Fengyi said: "Prepare the minister." ”

Liu Laodao came slowly.

Because Liu Laodao is generally on the boat, people like Liu Laodao have been on the boat almost all their lives, and for them, it is much more comfortable to be on the boat than on land, so even if Liu Laodao is docked, he rarely gets off the boat. So Zhu Houhuang summoned Liu Laodao over, and it took a while.

Fortunately, Liu Laodao did not go to sea, otherwise I am afraid that he would not be able to arrive today.

After Liu Laodao received the order, he immediately came to the Yongwang Mansion. He secretly wondered what Zhu Houhuang meant.

This period of time is not very good for Liu Laodao. Huang Shilong tossed him miserably.

Zhu Houhuang just re-nailed the rules for the sailor. Liu Laodao didn't care much about it. But Huang Shilong just took chicken feathers as an arrow and targeted him again and again. made him so ugly in front of Zhu Houhuang. could have become the commander of the water division, but unconsciously, he has become the commander of the Dongyong water division, although it is also considered a high promotion compared to before, but compared to Xu Dong's original position as the commander of the water division, it cannot be the same day.

In particular, Zhu Houhuang let Magellan train the new ship and did not allow Liu Laodao to interfere, which was a very bad signal for Liu Laodao.

At this moment, Zhu Houhuang and the natives beckoned each other, how could Liu Laodao not be apprehensive in his heart.

"Your Highness. His Royal Highness Chitose. Liu Laodao said.

"Old knife, there is one thing today, you have to go out." Zhu Houhuang said with a smile.

When Liu Laodao heard this, his ears pricked up, and he said, "Your Highness, please speak." ”

Zhu Houhuang said: "Several new groups of pirates have emerged in the East China Sea. They don't know that the sky is high and the earth is thick, and they dare to move our Dongyong ship, and they order you to lead your headquarters to the north, take over as the commander of the Ryukyu fleet, and clear these pirates. ”

As soon as Liu Laodao heard that there was a fight, he immediately became happy. said: "The minister will definitely live up to His Highness's trust." ”

Zhu Houhuang's rewards and punishments are clear, Dongyong has a great future, Liu Laodao may not have foresight, but his desire for meritorious service is no less than that of anyone.

Zhu Houhuang said: "Qing is a pirate, what should I do to get rid of pirates, I think Qing also knows, so I won't mention it much, but before Qing goes, it's best to visit Wu Fengyi and Master Wu." Lone has ordered Jinyi Wei to thoroughly investigate the news of these individuals. ”

Liu Laodao didn't fully believe Zhu Houhuang's words, however, he wouldn't refute it. said: "The minister is ordered." ”

Zhu Houhuang looked at Liu Laodao's appearance, and a trace of gloom was born in his heart, but among Zhu Houhuang's entrainment, there were not enough manpower at all. Otherwise, he would have cleaned up Liu Laodao a long time ago, he was already incompetent enough, and he still had a lot of crooked brains.

"So far, I can only pray silently." Zhu Houhuang said secretly in his heart. "Pray that Liu Laodao will work hard and not return defeated."

Liu Laodao acted vigorously and resolutely, ordered from the Privy Council, and immediately set off for Ryukyu.

Ryukyu, Wei Dalin looked at the letter in his hand and said slowly: "Lord Liu, everything in the camp has been handed over to you for disposal, but there is one thing that I haven't figured out yet, so I can only hand it over to Lord Liu." ”

Liu Laodao showed an interested look on his face and asked, "What's the matter with Lord Wei?" ”

Wei Dalin said: "The loss of several ships is definitely not something that ordinary people can do. And the information is so clear and clear. There must be something wrong with it. ”

Liu Laodao said: "You mean that in the port of Ryukyu, there are their eyeliner?" ”

Wei Dalin said: "No, it's not just eyeliner, I think the Shang family is very problematic." ”

"The Shang family?" Liu Laodao couldn't help but say, "How is that possible?" ”

The Shang family has the best relationship with Dongyong, and among Zhu Houhuang's harem, there is the daughter of the Shang family, and the relationship is so close, how can Liu Laodao believe that the Shang family will betray Dongyong?
