Su Xi followed Xu Dong to the deck and saw that the dozen or so pirates were still kneeling there. Su Xi limped and ran up to kick a pirate down, scolding, "What the fuck are you doing here?" Your Excellency has forgiven you! Don't hesitate to kowtow to adults! From today onwards, we are officers and soldiers! Be in good spirits! After speaking, he nodded to Xu Dong, looking like a dog's leg.

Xu Dong glanced at Su Xi in some surprise, he didn't say that he would pardon these pirates, let alone merge them into the Sailor Division's army. But in the end, Xu Dong still turned his head and didn't see it, which was a tacit acquiescence to Su Xi's careful thinking. After all, Su Xi has already been brought under his command, and it would be a little inappropriate to kill his subordinates again.

Su Xi saw that Xu Dong turned around and didn't see it, he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, turned around and shouted at those pirates: "Lao Tzu is also an official now!" You all give Lao Tzu stability, don't take out the bandit appearance you used to be, and lose the face of our sailor! If you don't work yet, who dares to be lazy, don't blame Lao Tzu for being polite! ”

The pirates nodded their heads in agreement, and got up to work on the ship, repairing the ship with the soldiers, cleaning and cleaning, and were very busy.

Xu Dong stood on the side of the ship, watching those pirates and soldiers work, and felt a burst of emotion in his heart. Who would have thought that these people who worked together would just be in a life-and-death situation? That's how the world is changing.

Xu Dong beckoned to Su Xi and said, "Su Xi, come here."

Su Xi hurriedly ran to Xu Dong's side and said with a flattering face: "The little one is here!" What do you command? ”

Xu Dongdao: "Let me ask you, if you want to take Ceylon, how many troops will you need?"

Su Xi was taken aback and said, "Your Excellency wants to attack the Kingdom of Ceylon?" I'm afraid it's hard! Although Ceylon is an island nation, it has a large population. The army is said to be 100,000 people! ”

Xu Dong frowned and said, "One hundred thousand troops? Is this reliable? ”

Su Xi said: "Don't dare to deceive adults!" In small terms, there may be more than 100,000 people. If the people are requisitioned in wartime, 300,000 are possible! ”

Xu Dong sighed and said: "Let's put aside the matter of Ceylon for the time being, but after we go back, we will quickly organize a fleet, and we will bring silk and porcelain to Japan to make money." The saint is still waiting for dividends. ”

Xu Dong's words frightened Su Xi a lot, and Su Xi said cautiously: "My lord, you just said...... Holy old man...... Smuggle? ”

Xu Dong smiled and said, "Don't you also smuggle, why can't the saint smuggle?" It's always good to have money to make. ”

Su Xi said depressedly: "The little one is just running errands for others, and he can only make hard money." The bulk of the profits are from above......"

"Oh!" Xu Dong squinted at Su Xi and said, "Above? Which god is on it? ”

Su Xi hesitated for a moment, and immediately made up his mind: "The little ones are only afraid of causing trouble to the adults, and the backstage of our smuggling ships is ...... Hangzhou Governor Song ......"

Xu Dong smiled disdainfully: "Hangzhou prefect, what a big official." Hehe. I really want to see it. ”

Su Xi hurriedly said: "The adults are careless! There are still people behind the Song Governor's Mansion! Is that...... That's the head of the dynasty, Xia Ge Lao! ”

Xu Dong's pupils shrank, and he said coldly: "Xia Yan! It turned out to be him! Hehe, what a first assistant to the court! ”

After sneering for a while, Xu Dong said to Su Xi: "Write down everything you know, about the involvement of the courtiers in smuggling, as long as you know, hear, and guess." Be detailed, don't miss it. Afterwards, the official will definitely not treat you badly! ”

Su Xi was drenched in cold sweat, he knew that he seemed to be involved in a great event, but in the end, he gritted his teeth and clenched his fists and said, "Obey!" Your allegiance to your lordship! ”

Xu Dong patted Su Xi's shoulder with satisfaction and said: "Hehe, those courtiers are usually dignified, and they keep shouting ancestral training, I am not allowed to open the sea ban in the Ming Dynasty!" In private, he went to sea to smuggle for huge profits! So that my celestial weather is not as good as day by day! Now I'm here! Don't do it, I Xu Dong will take care of the world's shipping! Whoever tries to stop me, I'll kill whom! ”

Su Xi Khan was like rain, lowered his head, and shouted in his mouth: "Great Man Tao Wu Strategy! The pillar stone of the imperial court! ”

Two days later, 300 Jinyi guards rushed into the yamen of the Hangzhou prefect, detained Song Shilian, the prefect of Hangzhou, and An Dequan, the governor of Hangzhou, and sentenced Li Guangding and 11 other officials, and seized more than 130 taels of silver, more than 60,000 taels of gold, and two boxes of various letters in his official residence, and escorted them to the capital. For a while, the courtiers were shocked, and there was a storm!

The initiator, Xu Dong, was in the Qianqing Hall with Emperor Jiajing at this time, and Huang Jin was waiting with a smile.

"Smack!" Jiajing slapped Xu Dong's piece on the table with a palm, and said angrily: "These bastard things! What has become the scourge of my world! ”

Xu Dong ate a piece of crispy duck carefully, wiped his mouth after eating and said with a smile: "The emperor doesn't need to be angry, the current situation is very good." It's just a little scabies, about Xia Ge Lao, if you can, don't move. It is still important to stabilize the situation. ”

Jiajing's anger did not subside, and he lost his chopsticks and walked around the hall with his backhand.

Huang Jin interjected on the side: "There is another rare thing, yesterday afternoon, in the recital sent to the celebrant supervisor, Wang Anyuan, the head of the Ministry of War, and the servant Zhao Zhong impeached Lord Xu for recruiting soldiers and horses in Jiangnan with the intention of rebellion!" Hehe, the Holy Lord has already issued a decree on this matter before. Wang Anyuan and Zhao Zhong knowingly committed a crime, insinuating and deliberately taking the opportunity to accuse the saint! The old slave was afraid that the Holy One would be angry, so he didn't present it to the Holy Emperor......"

Sure enough, Jiajing said angrily: "The two thieves dare to deceive!" Put these two people in prison for questioning! ”

"Yes!" Huang Jin agreed and did not forget to wink at Xu Dong.

Jiajing sat down again, picked up a small bowl of bird's nest white fungus, and drank it slowly. He said to Xu Dong again: "Just one Hangzhou mansion has copied out nearly two million taels of stolen silver!" Hehe, this Manchu courtier, I don't know how much silver I secretly got on my back! Now the situation on Annam's side is unstable, and there may be war. But there is no money in the treasury! How's going on with your sailor? ”

Xu Dong put down the bowl in his hand and replied: "The six thousand sailors have been trained and are being assembled. Taihu Lake Village has begun to recruit new recruits again. Oh, the disciple has set up a firearms research institute in Zhoushan, and the firearms technology of our dynasty is quite advanced, but the Western countries have also caught up, and even the shipbuilding technology has surpassed the Ming Dynasty! So I have to guard against it! ”

Jiajing nodded and said, "You are organized, just let it go." It's just that the maritime affairs should be grasped quickly, and the court will wait for the money! ”

Xu Dong bowed and said, "Obey!" The disciple was going to follow the fleet to the Wa Kingdom. You're bound to make a lot of money when you come back. ”

Xu Dong has always been a disciple in front of Jiajing, and Jiajing is also very useful for having such a relationship with Xu Dong. In his opinion, Xu Dong is different from everyone else in the world, and he is the person who knows himself best. Therefore, it is impossible to betray himself, and he is the one who will "go to heaven" together in the future......

Xu Dong took out a list from his arms and presented it to Jiajing and said, "This is the list of sailor officers drawn up by the disciple, please take a look at it by the emperor."

Jiajing didn't even look at it, he directly picked up the red pen from the desk and ticked it, and asked Huang Jin to stamp the seal. So in addition to the promotion of several Jinyi Wei Qianhu under Xu Dong, Yu Dayou directly became the deputy general of the four-grade water division, and even Su Xi's goods became a six-rank ranger and a servant......

In the afternoon, Xu Dong Shi Ran walked out of the inner palace with his hands behind his back. Along the way, whether it was the palace maid, the inner eunuch, or the guards, the forbidden army saw Xu Dong hurriedly retreating to the side of the road and saluting. Now Xu Dong's power is in full swing, and no one in the palace dares to treat him slowly. Even the queen mother from time to time rewarded some rare things or snacks from foreign countries to Xudong Mansion.

When he walked out of the Shenwu Gate, he suddenly saw a Yipin Wenchen wearing a bullfighting suit standing there silently outside the door. The man was over half a hundred years old, with gray hair, but he looked radiant and bright.

The moment Xu Dong saw that person, his pupils shrank sharply, and his face was as cold as frost. But it was only a moment, Xu Dong immediately changed his face, and stepped forward with a smile, and the smile on his face was like a spring breeze.

When the old minister saw Xu Dong, he also walked over with a kind smile and arched his hand: "Commander Xu!"

Xu Dong clenched his fists and bowed, saying, "Old Xia Ge!"

This person is a scholar of Wenyuan Pavilion, the prince Shaobao, and the first assistant of the cabinet, Xia Yan. As the first assistant of the cabinet, he is a very popular minister, under one person, above ten thousand people!

Xu Dong asked, "Why is Elder Ge here?"

Xia Yan laughed and said, "It's for Governor Xu!" I heard that the commander was facing the saint, and he didn't dare to make a mistake, so he waited here. ”

Xu Dong shook his hand and said: "Xu Dong is a junior, how dare he wait for a long time in the Labor Pavilion!" I don't know what the elder has sent? ”

Xia Yan smiled and said: "Don't dare to be, Commander Xu has won the favor of the saint, and he is already a military commander at a young age!" How dare you make a mistake when you are old? I came here to ask the commander, why did the Holy Lord insist on establishing a Swinging Water Division? ”

Xu Dong looked at Xia Yan with a smile, and said after a while: "The elder has something to say."

"Good! The Governor is really fast! Xia Yan said loudly: "Then the old man said bluntly, Southeast Shipping makes a profit every year, and the ministers are willing to take out 20% of the service to the commander."

Xu Dong was stunned when he heard this, looked at Xia Yan incredulously, and a smile slowly appeared on the corner of his mouth, and then turned to laughter, the laughter became louder and louder, and he laughed breathlessly.

Xia Yan didn't say anything, just smiled and stood aside.

Xu Dong laughed enough, coughed a few times, covered his mouth with one hand, and said with a smile: "Elder Ge smiled, but it's too funny."

Xia Yan said: "I don't know what's ridiculous?"

Xu Dong said coldly: "The Holy Lord has allowed me to dictate the Ming Dynasty!" The southeast coast is all in my hands! If I don't allow it, where will the elder get 20% of the sea freight to give me? ”

When Xia Yan heard this, his face turned cold. sneered: "The commander is young and impulsive. Do you know how much this 20% maritime bonus is? ”

Xu Dong snorted and said, "Ercheng? I want it all! ”

Xia Yan smiled and said: "In this way, I wish the governor a success, and many blessings and longevity!"

Xu Dong also smiled and said: "Duo Chengge Lao Jiyan, Xu Dong also wishes the Pavilion Elder a long life and a hundred years of life, and the whole family is safe!"

Although both of them were smiling, the killing intent in the air was like a cold winter, and the guards of the forbidden army guarding outside the Shenwu Gate were trembling and hiding far away, and the guards were about to cry, and said in their hearts, why do you two have to come to my Shenwu Gate to quarrel!

These two are extremely popular ministers, they are the first assistant of the court, and there are countless party members in the court! A ruthless, powerful, and powerful saint is strong! If you make a move, it will be a death to help anyone, and even more death if you don't help!

Fortunately, both of them are quality people, and even the scolding and threats are harmonious. But it's even more scary! Is there wood?
