Chapter 197: These are just small fortunes, big fortunes are in Quanzhou (1st update)
Li Yanzhi is naturally not a Jinyiwei, but when he left Beijing, Zhu Youzhen asked him to give him a waist card for the Jinyiwei envoy, and with this waist card, he could dispatch the Jinyiwei of Fujian Province.
For Fujian's Jinyi Guard, Li Yanzhi didn't dare to use it easily, who knows how powerful they are infiltrated by the local government? It was Jiang Shanfu, a staff member of Governor Xiong Wencan, who also used his own people brought from Beijing.
However, with the temporary identity of this Jinyiwei, he can do many things without restrictions, such as now, he can arrest Huang Wei on the charge of rebellion! Otherwise, even if he is the chief soldier of Fujian, he has no right to do anything to the court.
Li Yanzhi immediately announced as the chief soldier of Fujian that Xu Xinsu would be removed from the post of general and handed over to Jinyi Wei for interrogation of his conspiracy to collude with red-haired ghosts to attack the people of the Ming Dynasty and instigate pirates to attack Fuzhou.
Xiamen Island is Xu Xinsu's lair, Xu Xinsu is a second-class dealer, responsible for the red-haired ghost to buy goods for the pirates, now the monsoon has not risen, the goods he buys are still in Xiamen, and now they are all cheap Royal Maritime Trade Firm.
"Haha, so much raw silk, so much cotton and satin, the goods that went to sea this year are complete, so you don't have to bother to buy them!" When accompanying Li Yanzhi to inspect the warehouse, looking at the full of all kinds of goods, Zheng Hongkui laughed.
In fact, not only these goods, but also Xu Xinsu's property accumulated for many years, as a businessman entrenched in Xiamen Island, long-term acquisition of goods for the red-haired ghost pirates, Xu Xinsu made a lot of money, just from his home seized silver is a million taels of silver, not to mention other gold, jade, jewelry, and the like.
All in all, get rich!
Li Yanzhi immediately announced that he would take out thirty percent of the gold and silver to reward all the soldiers who had worked hard to fight. Eight hundred guards, thousands of Zheng Zhilong's subordinates, according to the size of the meritorious official position, the least can get thirty or forty taels of silver, and the most can get a hundred taels, everyone immediately thundered with joy, and their morale soared!
As for the rest of the silver, of course, it will be escorted to Beijing and handed over to His Majesty the Emperor. Before the sea trade, he got so much silver, His Majesty will definitely be very happy! Li Yanzhi thought to himself.
But.
"These are some small fortunes, and the real wealth is in Quanzhou City!" Li Yan said lightly.
"Dashuai, are we really going to enter Quanzhou to raid the house?" Zheng Hongkui said in surprise, his words full of excitement.
"Dashuai, if we really do this, we will offend the Fujian gentry to death, isn't it prudent." Zheng Zhilong was more stable, knowing how powerful those gentry were, and tried to persuade Li Yanzhi.
Li Yanzhi sneered: "I've already offended to death, otherwise they wouldn't have made a move to collude with the red-haired ghost to collude with pirates!" Since these gentry are already crazy, then we have to be even more crazy and let them know that this Ming Dynasty is theirs or His Majesty's world!
This time, I will beat them so badly that they will kneel and beg for mercy, so that they will never dare to think badly about us again! ”
"Send troops, marshal, let's send troops to Hangzhou immediately and raid the homes of these big dogs!" Zheng Hongkui was enthusiastic when he heard this, and shouted along.
Li Yanzhi smiled slightly: "What's the hurry, rest for half a day first, let the brothers take it slowly, and tomorrow morning, then send troops to Quanzhou!" ”
"But will it make them feel relieved?" Zheng Hongkui said anxiously.
The corners of Li Yan's mouth curled: "So what?" Ben Shuai just wants to see who will jump out, and then catch it all! ”
......
In the city of Quanzhou, Huangfu.
The sound of panicked footsteps sounded outside, and Huang Zheng, the eldest young master of the Huang family, stopped painting and frowned.
"Uncle, something is wrong, the third master was arrested in Xiamen." The footsteps stopped at the door, and a slightly flustered man's voice sounded, it was the housekeeper Huang An.
Huang Zheng turned around and said angrily: "Who is so bold? ”
The affairs of the Quanzhou merchant gang have always been presided over by the third Huang Wei, Quanzhou and even the whole of Fujian, who doesn't know the name of Huang Sanye, even the pirates have to respect three points, who dares to be so bold?
"It was Li Yanzhi, the chief soldier of Fujian, who led the fleet to Xiamen, dispersed the guards, arrested the third master, and I heard that he would come to Quanzhou City to raid his home." Huang An replied.
Huang Zheng was stunned, the anger on his face disappeared suddenly, and a trace of panic followed.
The Huang family in Quanzhou, the real master is not Huang Wei who shows his face outside, but he, the uncle of the Huang family who lives in a simple place, and Huang Wei will not hide anything from him.
So Huang Zheng knew that it was Xu Xinsu who colluded with the red-haired ghost to put Zheng Zhilong and Li Yan to death, and Huang Zheng also knew that it was Xu Xinsu who sent someone to contact Li Kuiqi to lure pirates to attack Fuzhou.
Although Xu Xinsu sent someone to do all this, the Huang family is also the mastermind behind the scenes, if Huang Wei is not caught, it is better to say, it can be pushed cleanly, but now Huang Wei is blocked on Xiamen Island, this is the yellow mud falling into the crotch of his pants, and he can't get rid of it.
"Uncle, Li Yanzhi will come to Quanzhou tomorrow to arrest people, you better leave the city at night to avoid it." Huang An urged.
Huang Zheng shook his head: "What should I do if I leave the Huang family?" What about the family business of Nuoda? ”
"But?"
"Nothing!" Huang Zheng said categorically, "I am a dignified person, my father is the deputy envoy of Zhejiang, and my cousin is a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy!" My Huang family has been in Quanzhou for two hundred years, I'll see who dares to enter Quanzhou City to arrest me! ”
"Huang An, you go and deliver letters to other families, and then prepare a car for me, I'm going to see Fuzun!"
......
When night fell, Quanzhou City, which should have been quiet, was slightly riotous, and a sedan chair headed towards the mansion.
The back office of Quanzhou Mansion, looking at the gentry who came to visit together, Liu Pengju, the prefect of Quanzhou, frowned.
"Come, but what's going on?" Liu Pengju asked dissatisfiedly, he was playing with Xinna's concubine, but a group of uninvited guests came, and no one was happy.
"Fuzun, the big thing is not good, Li Yanzhi, the general soldier of Fujian, and Zheng Zhilong, the general of coastal defense, have rebelled, and they will attack Quanzhou tomorrow!" Someone shouted about alarmism.
"Nonsense!" Liu Pengju said angrily, "Then General Li is His Majesty's favorite general, how can he rebel?" ”
"It's hard to say," Huang Zheng spoke slowly, and as soon as he spoke, the hall suddenly fell silent.
"Then Zheng Zhilong used to be a sea bandit, and there were many pirate subordinates on the island of Taiwan. Li Yanzhi and Zheng Zhilong mingled all day long, and they were inevitably persuaded by him. Fuzun, we have received definite news, early tomorrow morning, Li Yanzhi and Zheng Zhilong will lead the fleet to attack Quanzhou City, and please prepare as soon as possible, the safety of hundreds of thousands of people in the city is on your lord! ”
Liu Pengju asked, "Brother Huang, what you said is true?" ”
