The head of the Liu family and even the other dozen or so people present all changed color one by one when they heard this, and only the Liu family among them could be comparable to those few maritime merchants in Jiangnan, and the connection between these maritime merchants was still quite close, so what happened in Jiangnan, even if it was thousands of miles away, it also reached the ears of these people.

If it weren't for Chu Yi's fierce flames, how could maritime merchants like them who dared to fight with the sea robbers be so honest.

If this were to be changed to the past, if the imperial court dared to set up a city bureau to collect taxes from them, the officials who took office the next day might be overboarded and died, or a group of ordinary people would directly attack the yamen.

The head of the Liu family frowned and looked at the crowd: "Everyone, Chu Yi is powerful, we must not have any handle in his hands, otherwise we will definitely repeat the mistakes of the past at that time." ”

A head of the family said with a look of unwillingness: "It doesn't seem so easy to make the imperial decree impassable, but also not to fall into control!" ”

The heads of the family sat there one by one, with solemn expressions on their faces.

These sea merchants rely on sea trade to catch a large amount of gold and silver on weekdays, and it can be said that all the gold and silver have entered their pockets.

Now that the imperial court has put its hand into their pockets, it would be strange if these people could calm down.

There's nothing wrong with getting them out of someone else's pocket, but it's hard to get money out of their pocket.

Fortunately, these people did not rush forward, after all, Chu Yi's killing spree shocked a considerable number of people, even fools know that if anyone dares to take the lead at this time, they will definitely become the target of Chu Yi's killing and monkeys.

More than a dozen people sat on each other for a long time, and finally did not discuss any way, so some people said goodbye and left, more than a dozen families left one by one, and finally only left Liu's, Zhou's, Wang's three, these three are also the largest maritime merchants in Huating County, it can be said that if the three are united, they can occupy half of the maritime trade in Huating County.

It was also the three families who quietly let go out, so that none of the large and small maritime merchants who relied on maritime trade to eat dared to go to Huating City to report and pay taxes.

What the three families did was very secretive, even if those big and small maritime merchants knew that it was the three families who put pressure on them, but there was no evidence.

From this alone, it can be seen that these people have made up their minds not to be the first birds.

The head of the Zhou family watched the others leave, let out a sigh of relief, and his eyes swept over the heads of the Liu family and the Wang family, and said: "Brother Liu, Brother Zhou, there is no one else here, only the three of us, and now there is something to say but you can talk with peace of mind!" ”

The head of the Wang family has a tiger's back and a bear's waist, and he looks more like a martial artist than a maritime trader.

However, the head of the Wang family is an authentic maritime merchant, but the courage is amazing, and the Wang family is also a famous family combining the sea and the maritime business, that is to say, the Wang family is both a maritime merchant and a sea merchant, so the Wang family has a very large power on the sea.

If Wang Ping, the head of the Wang family, gave an order, he could easily gather more than a dozen pirates active on the sea, and gather thousands of pirates to raid coastal towns.

On the contrary, the reason why the Liu family was able to become the largest maritime merchant in Huating was because one of the elders of the Liu family was the magistrate of Huating County in the previous generation, and it was precisely since the previous generation of Huating magistrate that the Liu family rose rapidly in Huating.

As for the Zhou family, it is the most low-key of the three, almost low-key to the point of mystery, and many people almost subconsciously ignore the presence of the Zhou family.

The Zhou clan has always been low-key, and Zhou Tong seems to be a scribe at all, if he sees it, few people will definitely see him as a maritime merchant who smells of copper.

Zhou Tong glanced at the head of the Liu family lightly, then looked at Wang Ping, and then said slowly in a low voice.

Wang Ping and the head of the Liu family couldn't help but show a little horror and excitement in their eyes when they heard Zhou Tong's words. To be honest, both Wang Ping and the head of the Liu family were shocked after listening to Zhou Tong's idea.

I only heard Wang Ping high-five and praised: "Brother Zhou Tong, your idea is really good, this time I want to see how Chu Yi solves the problem." ”

The manager of Huating City is a five-grade official, and there are more than a dozen officials under him, plus others, adding up to dozens of people.

Because of the newly established office of the entire city, the location of the yamen is just to find a courtyard in Huating County to temporarily serve as a yamen.

Chen Ku is an official of Chu Yi's family, and he can be personally selected by Chu Yi to be appointed as the manager of the newly established City Shipping Division, so he naturally has some talent, if he has no talent to learn, he is afraid that he will not be able to enter Chu Yi's eyes, and he will even be stationed in Huating by Chu Yi.

In the evening of that day, Chen Kuzheng wrote a cursive letter in the study with a distressed face, in which he informed Yu Chuyi of what had happened since the establishment of the Huating City Bo Division.

Gradually, the study became dark, and the firelight flickered, reflecting Chen Ku's figure on the window.

However, it is said that Huating County is adjacent to the mouth of the Yangtze River, which can be said to be a natural and excellent harbor.

The waves crashed against the reef, and there was almost no other sound except the sound of the waves, and suddenly a shout sounded: "Be careful with this king, if anyone makes any big noise, this king will definitely not spare them." ”

In the darkness not far from the port, more than a dozen small boats docked on the shore, and then I saw a series of figures jumping directly from the small boats to the shore.

Faintly, I saw hundreds of brave people landing on the shore, one by one with hideous faces, and soon gathered a group of people on the shore.

The men hid like hungry wolves in the rocks on the shore, and it wasn't long before they saw a boat reappear on the sea.

This time, there were not a dozen but dozens of ships, and when the people on these ships successfully landed ashore, there were hundreds of people.

These hundreds of people looked a little strange, because these people were dressed strangely one by one, many of them had clogs under their feet, beards, and katanas stuck diagonally at their waists.

If anyone who knows these people sees it, they are afraid that they will exclaim: "Wako! ”

These people are the Japanese who crisscrossed the southeast coast and once became the scourge of the Ming Dynasty.

The title of the Japanese is a name for the Dongying Haikou, since the morale of Taizu there are Japanese invaders on the coast, and Chengzu is just that, the Three Treasures eunuch Zheng He personally commanded the fleet to go to the Western Ocean.

The strength of the Daming Sea Sailor team directly crushed those large and small Japanese Invaders, and since then, the Japanese Invaders who have really seen the power of the Daming Maritime Naval Division Team have suddenly become much more restrained.

At that time, the Ming Dynasty was famous in the surrounding countries, large and small, and even on the sea, there was no need for the Ming Dynasty to make a move, but only those Dongying city lords and generals who were near the sea took action to deal with those Japanese robbers.

However, hundreds of years have passed, Dongying has always remembered what to eat and not to fight, and has long forgotten the terrible threat and pressure that the huge fleet of the Great Tomorrow Dynasty had brought to its ancestors, and it has given birth to many ambitious people.

It can even be said that if Chu Yi had not appeared, at most one or two decades later, the Wako Rebellion would have completely broken out, on the one hand, because at that time, the internal struggle for power and profit in Dongying was fierce, and the local daimyo broke out one after another for territory and interests.

During the war, whether it was a deserter or a defeated daimyo, many people directly chose to fall into the grass and became the sea coward of the disaster.

And these pirates naturally focused on the fat-like Ming Dynasty, which created the famous southeast Japanese rebellion.

At this time, although it is said that there are Japanese pirates, but the number is not too much, and this time there are at least 200 Japanese pirates who have landed on the shore, which shows that this is definitely a real and powerful sea bandit.

The first samurai stepped on clogs, had a mustache, and combed a pigtail on his head, and the whole person appeared in front of a big man with a bare chest and exposed breasts, squinted his eyes and saluted the big man: "Hey, Guiichi Gangmura has seen Wang Jun!" ”

Wang Mei looked at Gangcun Guiyi, and suddenly showed a bit of surprise on his face, and arched his hand towards Gangcun Guiyi: "General Gangcun is really a big deal, and he actually sent Guiyijun to personally lead the people and horses. ”

Gangcun Guiichi said with a smile: "My general and your side are allies, and this time is profitable, it is reasonable for the general to send more people, but I want to ask Mr. Wang to forgive me more." ”

Wang Mei frowned, but he groaned slightly and then rushed to Gangcun Gui: "This time, I also ask Mr. Gangcun to cooperate with Wang to break the Huating City Bosi!" ”

Gangcun Guiyi laughed and said: "It's just a city of Huating City, don't say it's a city, even if it's the entire Huating County, if the general is willing, he can break it." ”

Wang Mei glanced at Gangcun Guiyi, opened his mouth and didn't say anything, but with a big wave of his hand, he immediately saw Wang Mei's men and horses gathered together and disappeared into the night.

And Guiichi Gangmura also led his subordinates to follow closely for the first time.

Huating County is shrouded in night, at a glance, the whole Huating County is not too big, the city wall is in disrepair, the masonry in many places is broken, so whether a gate is opened or closed is a squeaky sound, I am really worried that the gate will not fall.

A few figures could be faintly seen on the city wall, but those figures were dazed, and they almost fell asleep directly against the city wall.

Those figures are the soldiers of Huating County to protect the county, originally a group of at least dozens of people, but because of various reasons such as empty salaries, it should have been dozens of people to inspect the city wall, but it turned out that less than forty percent were left, and even most of the remaining forty percent were old, weak, sick and disabled, so there were a few figures on the city wall.

In the darkness, if you don't look closely, you won't notice that a group of people are slowly approaching the city gate.

There was a clanging sound, a small sound came from the city wall, and I saw an iron claw stuck in the battlement, and then a figure quickly climbed the city wall, and the moment it landed, this person almost instinctively rushed to the nearest almost asleep city guard and covered the other party's mouth, the sharp knife slashed through the throat, and blood gushed out.

Immediately after that, several figures climbed up the city wall along the rope, and there were not a few soldiers guarding the city wall, but more than a dozen soldiers defending the city almost lost their lives in their sleep.

When more than a dozen figures descended the city wall along the road to the city gate, a confused city guard was slightly stunned, and shouted as if he had seen a ghost: "There are ghosts!" ”

The soldier's exclamation of surprise immediately alarmed a dozen soldiers resting in the cave of the city gate, but these soldiers did not realize that the enemy had killed, but cursed, thinking that the soldier was shouting and disturbing their dreams.
