"I heard that the official army was defeated in Guangxi, Guizhou, Sichuan, and Fujian, and there are so many tricks of the Han Dynasty, and he is trying to win people's hearts everywhere, Zhu Di may not be able to get his son."

Chen Feng thought for a while, and suddenly smiled: "King Han is on the throne, second uncle, you will reward silver, will it be added to 10 million?" ”

“。” Chen Zuyi was stunned for a moment, then laughed, and after laughing a few times, his face sank: "Zhu Gaoxu is a ruthless person, he may cancel the reward, and he doesn't have any money." ”

“。。” Chen Feng looked incredulous.

"But he might send troops to fight us." Although Chen Zuyi had never met Zhu Gaoxu, he actually knew a little about him.

If Zhu Gaoxu is here, after hearing it, he will definitely give him a thumbs up, Lao Chen, you really know me, if Lao Tzu becomes the emperor, he will definitely be the first to you, because you will affect Lao Tzu to make a fortune.

Half of the sea ban in the early Ming Dynasty was caused by Chen Zuyi, and Zhu Gaoxu didn't do anything to him.

When the uncle and nephew were talking, there was a sudden commotion in front of them, and then many people shouted: "General Xu." ”

"General Xu."

Xu An is here.

Chen Zuyi also hurriedly looked over and found that Xu An was relatively young, less than thirty years old, but he looked more mature and stable, and he was very kind, with a smile on his face.

Xu An greeted everyone with a smile, and then came to the middle, and soon everyone surrounded him and stood around listening to him.

The people who came in were all searched, and it was impossible for them to carry weapons, and Xu An was also protected by a large number of soldiers, so he was not afraid.

"I have gathered everyone here today to announce some things according to the will of King Han." Xu An came up and mentioned the King of Han, and then said: "Since ancient times, maritime trade has been the most profitable business, feeding countless merchants and people along the coast of the Ming Dynasty. ”

"The king of the Ming Dynasty has no virtue, forbids the sea without authorization, and cuts off everyone's way of life, not to mention, so that many people are also in trouble."

"Han Wang is wise." Immediately someone in the crowd cheered.

"The king of the Ming Dynasty has no way, and supports the king of Han to defeat the king of the Ming dynasty." Another merchant raised his arms and shouted.

Then there was a chorus all around.

Especially the merchants in the south of the Yangtze River, Zhu Di gave them heavy taxes, but the king of Han said in the text that he would reduce taxes for them.

They sincerely hoped that King Han would go to Jiangnan as soon as possible.

"See, no." Chen Zuyi whispered at this time: "Zhu Di gave Jiangnan a heavy tax, and Zhu Gaochu wanted to reduce taxes, so the businessmen in Jiangnan all supported Zhu Gaoxu, and Zhu Diyan could be undefeated." ”

Chen Feng didn't seem to understand, because he thought, what's the use of businessman support? Isn't it about army support?

After Xu An and the others shouted excitedly a few times, he waved his hand to signal everyone to stop, and then said: "The King of Han now occupies Guangdong, Fujian, and Jiaozhi, Zhancheng and other places, and the soldiers of the King of Han have entered the capital division of the Angkor Dynasty, and the Nanyang area will soon enter the range of the Han King's cannons." ”

The surroundings applauded, and Chen Zuyi's face became solemn.

Zhu Gaoxu asked Chen Xu to lead the troops to invade the Angkor Dynasty, and heard that it had reached the capital of the Angkor Dynasty, which did affect Chen Zuyi.

"According to the meaning of King Han, from October this year, when the sea trade is restarted, the sailors of King Han will escort everyone and fight against pirates."

The scene of "Wow Roar" was suddenly cheered, and people were indeed very excited.

Zhu Di opened the sea ban, and now the king of Han has restarted, which is too important for the people in the coastal provinces, and the sailors of the king of Han have to escort him, which is something that the Ming court has not done before.

So someone asked, how to escort the Han King sailor?

Because there are too many people who want to run maritime business, and there are too many routes, such as the Japanese side, which is now within the imperial court, and the Nanyang side, there are countless pirates, and Chen Zuyi has the final say.

Xu Andao, from Fujian to the sea area of Zhancheng, the Hanwang Navy Division will patrol day and night in batches, escorting escorts along the way, all day long.

The patrol of the sailors here is not only to escort the merchants, but also to prevent the imperial court from sending ships to contact Annan, which Zhu Gaoxu has arranged a long time ago.

Xu An said again, so north of Fujian, because within the scope of the imperial court, you have to rely on yourself, but after entering Fujian, the King of Han will protect your safety.

So someone immediately asked, does King Han have to charge? Sending a sailor to help us like this, can't it be in vain?

"You buy flags." Xu An said, each ship can be in Fuzhou or Quanzhou, or Guangzhou, Chaozhou, Haiphong Port in Cochin, Dahekou Port and Saigon Port in Champong, these places spend money to buy flags, flags are planted on boats, and the passage is unimpeded, and they are protected by the sailors, and those who do not have flags cannot enter.

Zhu Gaoxu is now learning from Zheng Zhilong to sell flags, of course, he is not as ruthless as Zheng Zhilong, because his sailor is not as strong as Zheng Zhilong.

Zheng Zhilong received 5,000 taels per ship, and Zhu Gaoxu collected 3,000 taels for more than 1,000 materials, 2,000 taels for less than 1,000 materials, and 1,000 taels for less than 500 materials.

When everyone heard it, this price is not expensive, and now when they run to sea, as long as they come back safely, it is not a problem for a big ship to earn tens of thousands or even tens of thousands, and it is not a problem for a small boat to earn three thousand.

The Ming court was not allowed to run, and now the king of Han is allowed to run, and he is willing to pay as much as he wants.

Some people also asked, what if you encounter pirates, what if the Han King sailor is too late to save him, or can't beat him?

Xu An said, the king of Han will send people to talk to the pirates, now Fujian can do business along the coast of Zhancheng, and the pirates can also come to do business, everyone can make money peacefully, why do you want to rob it?

Of course, pirates who can't talk about it, don't worry, the king of Han will definitely send troops to teach them a good lesson.

Someone in the crowd immediately raised his hand and shouted, if the king of Han beats Chen Zuyi, Lao Tzu will donate 10,000 taels.

The corners of Chen Zuyi's mouth twitched, and he looked over angrily, feeling that that guy seemed to be Tuo, and he was calling Han Wang Xianming just now.

There was a chorus all around, and many businessmen said that if the King of Han beat Chen Zuyi, we would all donate money.

That Chen Zuyi is so annoying.

Xu Andao, Chen Zuyi's name, King Han has also heard of it, King Han said that Chen Zuyi can do so much, he must be a smart person.

If harmony can make money, Chen Zuyi will definitely not be willing to use troops, besides, he is still a native of Chaozhou, Guangdong, and he is a citizen of the Ming Dynasty, presumably he also wants to return to his hometown to Guangzu Yaozu, no one wants to drift away, and die in a foreign land.

Chen Zuyi was quite angry just now, and planned to teach the officers and soldiers a good lesson when he heard Xu An's words, and couldn't help but be moved.

Someone in the crowd shouted, does the court want to recruit peace? How can Chen Zuyi be worthy of being an official?

At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, there was no such thing as Zhao An, and the person who spoke was of course Xu An's trust.

Zheng Zhilong is not very good.

Chen Zuyi's ears pricked up as soon as he heard this, and his expression was incredulous.

Xu An said earnestly: "The King of Han has the intention of recruiting peace, and in the face of all the pirates from all over the world, if he is willing to return to his roots and return to his hometown, the King of Han is willing to accept it." ”

King Han still said the same thing, I hope that the Ming people in the world can unite, and the Ming people will not bully the Ming people.

Chen Zuyi was silent at this time, and Chen Feng's expression was a little excited.

Xu An said at this time that from this month onwards, Fuzhou and Quanzhou in Fujian, Chaozhou and Guangzhou in Guangdong will provide a large number of salt, iron pots, as well as precious gems such as Buddha capstone, green arrowhead, dansha, luohong, amber and other special products in the southwest, which can be traded or exchanged for grain.

Chen Zuyi knew that the so-called Buddha top stone, dansha, and amber were all special products of Yunnan and other places, and the Han king took the things of Yunnan to the coast to sell, and if they were transported to other places by sea, they would definitely make a lot of money.

Xu An also said that Haiphong Port in Cochin, Dahekou Port in Zhancheng, everyone is also welcome to do business in the past, there is white sugar for sale there, white sugar is as white as silk, and the quality far exceeds that of brown sugar.

After saying that, Xu An stretched out his hand to beckon, and a large number of maids came in, each carrying a bowl of sugar.

This is the white sugar that Zhu Gaoxu's subordinates have just studied, the white sugar was born in advance, and the merchants on the scene were very surprised, only to see that it was as white as silk, crystal clear, and everyone knew that this thing was a weapon to make money at a glance.

Chen Zuyi's eyes brightened, and his first thought was that this thing could definitely become a weapon for maritime trade in the future, just like silk, tea, and ceramics.

After walking out of the Yamen of Fujian Dusi, Chen Zuyi looked back and saw several rows of elite soldiers at the door, looking very energetic and elite.

The Han kings have recently won great victories in all provinces, and their momentum has become even stronger.

The key is that Zhu Di raised his bounty from 500,000 to 7.5 million, after this bounty was raised, Chen Zuyi was worried for a while, and he was a little wary of the people around him every day, and he didn't dare to tell his wife and children when he slept, changing places every day, for fear that someone would assassinate him.

In comparison, Zhu Gaoxu is willing to recruit An, which is interesting.

If the wish is useful, Chen Zuyi will immediately make a wish now, and ask the army of the King of Han to quickly destroy Zhu Di's bastard.

The original history was in the next year, that is, in the fifth year of Yongle (1407), Zheng He went to the West and returned on the way back, passing through Chen Zuyi's territory, and Chen Zuyi believed that Zheng He's mighty fleet "had treasures" on the ship, so he sent someone to Zheng He to say that he wanted to surrender, but in fact, Chen Zuyi wanted to surrender by fraud, and then snatched Zheng He's fleet in one fell swoop.

Chen Zuyi did not expect that Zheng He had been wary of Chen Zuyi for a long time, because after Zheng He's fleet passed through Zhancheng, all he heard along the way were complaints against Chen Zuyi. More fortunately, Chen Zuyi's conspiracy was known to a Chinese named Shi Jinqing in Old Port, who told Zheng He the news. Zheng He immediately made preparations and arrangements for countering the sneak attack.

When Chen Zuyi led the pirates to attack, Zheng He commanded the warships to quickly surround the enemy ships from the standby point, and burned the pirate ships with fire, after fierce battles, killed more than 5,000 pirates, burned 10 enemy ships, and captured 7 ships. Emperor Zhu Di ordered Chen Zuyi to be killed in front of envoys from various countries, and beheaded him to warn others.

Chen Zuyi in history was also unlucky, because he, the strongest pirate in the world, met the strongest sailor in the world.

Zheng He had more than 200 ships in the West next time, and the largest Zheng He treasure ship was the first in the world.

To tell the truth, with Chen Zuyi's strength at that time, if he attacked or sneak attacked head-on, he would still be able to fight Zheng He, but he surrendered first, and then thought that Zheng He was fooled, so he was attacked by Zheng He.

But it's not yet next year, and Chen Zuyi heard Xu An's words again.

He stood outside the door of the capital, his expression thoughtful.

Just when he hesitated, Chen Feng, the eldest nephew on the side, said in a deep voice: "Second uncle, why don't you recruit An, get a general, and then return to Chaozhou, and glorify your ancestors?" ”
