Yan Xinji read the contents of the holy decree with an incredulous expression, then pondered for a moment, and then turned to Qi Jiguang and bowed his hand: "That is the case, I will say goodbye to the late life!" Today's words, please Qi Hou did not say it that night. ”

Yan Xinji said and walked out first.

"What's wrong?"

Yang Xie, Xie Sidan and the others who came to Qi Jiguang's place all stood up and looked at Yan Xinji with a stunned expression.

Yang Xie also asked.

Yan Xinji suddenly smiled bitterly: "We do think too much, let's go, if we stay, it's just a joke." ”

After hearing this, Yang Xie and Xie Sidan had to follow Qi Jiguang to say goodbye.

"Wait!"

But at this time, Qi Jiguang stopped them.

Yan Xinji stopped first, turned around and bowed his hand, and asked cautiously, "What else does Qi Hou have to teach?" ”

"Go back and tell those people behind you, since He's Bi is known by the King of Qin, it can only be the King of Qin, from the moment the court decides to open the sea, they should accept the court's arrangement for Haili in the world, and don't want to really hide it from the court all the time!"

"If you want to trade, you can only trade formally, you can't smuggle, you must pass through the customs of the imperial court, and there must be trade exploration, otherwise once the sailors become pirates and rob them, the court will not avenge them at that time."

"In addition, they can't go to places where the imperial court has not allowed trade, once they go, they will be treated as a sailor as a collaborator and traitor, and the court will not avenge their grievances, and even take credit for the sailor."

"As long as they trade honestly, the parish will return the lawful goods to them, and the shops will return to them, at the latest;"

"In case of default, they can impeach Ben Shuai; However, all the goods prohibited by the imperial court from trade will be confiscated! ”

"Ben Shuai knows that no one of you dares to claim it, but you have to tell the people behind you to make up the tax on the smuggled legal goods as soon as possible, and don't really want the smuggled goods in order to save that little tax money."

After Qi Jiguang said, he waved his hand and said, "Get out!" ”

"You!"

"Yes!"

After Qi Jiguang met these people, he invited Yu Dayou and Chen Luan and other generals to come, and told them about Yan Xinji's negotiation.

And Qi Jiguang said after telling Zhu Zai's generals about this: "General Yu Lao and General Chen are in command of the Fujian and Zhejiang naval divisions, and they must be very clear about how rich the sea is for the Japanese trade. ”

Yu Dayou and Chen Lan just smiled.

The two of them have actually participated as sailor generals, so they naturally know it.

But because they were military ministers and were under the control of civilian officials, they could not directly participate in smuggling, and could only share some benefits from the smuggling gentry group, otherwise they would be impeached and punished.

Qi Jiguang also knew it, so he continued: "It's like having a table of good food here, which used to be eaten by the Japanese and the local gentry, and we martial artists will only be divided into leftover soup." ”

"But now the situation is different, now the Japanese are not qualified to share, they want to share with us the original share of the imperial court behind our backs, so that this table of meals is only for us and the local gentry to eat, which means that we still have to kneel and eat their leftover soup, but this time we have to share more leftover soup."

"I'm begging for food."

Chen Lan said with a smile at this time.

Qi Jiguang also smiled slightly: "A gentleman should not be a profit-heavy, but just like a businessman!" Presumably, the two generals are also loyal and righteous, and they are frank gentlemen! ”

"And when Ben Shuai said this, it's just an analogy, so that you can also know the faces of these people."

"But, according to this analogy, why do we have to be so cheap, and we don't know how to invite Your Majesty to this table, let Your Majesty sit and eat first, and we all stand with them, and wait for Your Majesty to finish eating, and then we will divide it, Your Majesty alone will always eat less than so many of them, right?"

"That's right!"

"Why doesn't Your Majesty even have the qualifications to serve on the table, and then have to wait for them to eat and wipe it off, and give us some leftover soup, what have we become?"

Yu Dayou nodded, and then asked, "Have you become a dog?" ”

"The food here is already the Zhu family's, not the Songpu Dacun family, and if you want to be a dog, it is also the Zhu family's dog, so you don't have to be a dog for them to eat the food they stole from the Japanese slaves behind their backs!"

Chen Lan said at this time.

"It's just that they are the ones who have vegetables and meat, and even the cooks are their people, without them, this table of food would not be possible."

Qi Jiguang said.

Chen Lan said suddenly: "Then we will unite with the Son of Heaven and use a knife to force the cook to serve the food and sell the meat and sell it!" ”

Yu Dayou and the others also nodded.

"In this way, I can rest assured, it is good that all the generals are people who understand."

Qi Jiguang said with a smile, and then said: "They say that the Son of Heaven is the owner, they are in charge, and we are thugs, but there is no time when the Son of Heaven and the joint thugs change to be loyal and good in charge." ”

Not long after Qi Jiguang reached an agreement with Chen Luan, Yu Dayou and others, he received a will to let him return to Beijing.

Qi Jiguang knew that he wanted to return to Beijing to be a relative of the country, and he was honorably retired, and he already knew that he was going to be made a prince of the country, and the sense of loss that he could no longer lead the troops did not appear.

So, Qi Jiguang did not delay, or found an excuse to delay, on the day he received the holy decree, he met his subordinates Chen Ziluan and Tong Ziming: "You find 500 sturdy dogs for Ben Shuai, if you can plow the fields, half male and half female, Ben Shuai will bring them into Beijing and send them away." ”

"Dogs?"

Chen Ziluan was quite puzzled, and hurriedly said: "Please also make it clear!" ”

Tong Ziming also said: "Didn't you see any dogs?" ”

Qi Jiguang had a black line on his face, and then pointed to a group of Japanese people at the dock in front of him who were carrying bags of grain off the ship under the supervision of Ming soldiers:

"Aren't those just dogs, could it be that the Son of Heaven issued an edict and said that they Dongyi are also people, and they are people who need to take care of their personalities?"

Chen Ziluan and Tong Ziming suddenly realized and hurriedly explained.

Qi Jiguang shook his head when he saw this: "You two are very brave in battle, but your brains are not very bright, remember, don't be too good to these dogs, just give them stuttering, and tame them like animals, lest they have another wild attack and go to my southeast to plunder." ”

"Understood! Please rest assured, we will definitely tame these Japanese slaves! ”

Chen Ziluan replied with a straight chest.

Tong Ziming also nodded, and corrected Chen Ziluan: "It's to tame these dogs!" ”

At this time, Yu Dayou and Chen Lan also came to see off Qi Jiguang, and Qi Jiguang walked over, said goodbye to them, and said: "The power of Haili's distribution in this world is in the Son of Heaven; How to divide it, it also depends on how the Son of Heaven divides it, this is the meaning of the agreement between the contemptible people and the two generals, and the contemptible people will convey to His Majesty that they know, please rest assured that the two generals will be assured. ”

Both of them bowed their heads and said, "There is labor!" ”

After saying goodbye, Qi Jiguang left Hirado and returned to Beijing by boat.

At this time, the Xu family of Huating, Xu Jie, Xu Ying and Su Song, the deputy envoy in charge of coastal defense, Min Xichen, and other bureaucrats and gentry suspected of smuggling and forging, learned about the unwillingness of Qi Jiguang and others to share the profits with them behind the back of the imperial court through a person named Wang Dingbo.

"They said that it was Jiangling who had already facilitated the marriage between the Qi family and the Heavenly family, and they could no longer continue to persuade Qi Yuanjing to agree to this."

Wang Dingbo said.

Bang!

The crutches in Xu Jie's hand suddenly fell to the ground, and his lips trembled slightly.

Xu Ying hurriedly picked it up and called out: "Father! ”

Only then did Xu Jie realize that he was out of shape, and said with a smile to Min Xichen and the others, "Let you all laugh." ”

"It's not to blame the old gentleman, we are angry when we hear it."

Min Xichen replied with a smile, and said: "It's just that I didn't expect that he Jiangling had already contributed to this matter, and he didn't even write to tell the old gentleman, and he couldn't figure it out, why did he do this?" ”

"He felt that his Zhang family was no longer tolerant of Shilin, so he simply led the new commander to let the Son of Heaven hold the knife by himself again, so that everyone didn't want to have a good life!"

"Anyway, after he dies, he doesn't care if the scholar who was raided will have another home besides his Zhang family."

Xu Jie spoke, and then sighed and said: "Jiangling seeks the country, and the realm has been perfected!" ”

Then, Xu Jie asked with an expectant face: "You say, will the Son of Heaven have already hated him Jiangling, hated him for seizing power too much, and did not accept his affection, giving us the opportunity to let him cut off his arm?" ”
