Zhao Wenji arranged for the two to have dinner in the mansion, but where did the two dare to disturb, to put it bluntly, Shen Youlong had already nodded and agreed to Li Zhaoji's plan, and what to do next was that Lin Cha and Li Zhaoji discussed, so after the two talked with Zhao Wenhe, they left the Shen Mansion, and obviously the two of them had to discuss alone.

After tidying up slightly, Zhao Wenji knocked on Shen Youlong's door, and after hearing the sound of permission coming from inside, Zhao Wenji walked in.

At this time, Shen Youlong was dressed in a wide robe in green clothes, reclining on the Luohan bed, leisurely enjoying Songbao's gentle leg beating, and when he saw Zhao Wenji coming in, he was busy asking Songbao to show him a seat.

Zhao Wenji sat down and said to Shen Youlong: "Dong Weng, the inner joint has been finalized, Lin Cha will handle this matter, the student asked Lin Cha, and Lin Cha also thinks that Li Zhaoji's method is good, and the donation of 100,000 yuan is quite certain." ”

Shen Youlong nodded slightly, and said, "Just now, Lin Cha asked, what is the result of trade with England, but the old man didn't answer, how did you discuss?" ”

Zhao Wenji said: "Li Zhaoji is really a ruthless character, and he proposed a solution.

first talked to the English red hair, put on a full posture, let the Francois see that they gave out the money, and then found a way to destroy the red hair, that is, first make the best use of things, and then kill people to kill people. ”

Shen Youlong frowned when he heard this, and said in his heart that Li Zhaoji was really ruthless, he said: "Li Zhaoji is so active in promoting it, which makes the old man even more suspicious of his purpose." ”

Zhao Wenji smiled, put down the teacup, said warmly, and said: "Dong Weng doesn't need to worry, the inside story has already been found out, and he already knows Li Zhaoji's thoughts. ”

"Did he dissect it with you?" Shen Youlong sat up straight.

Zhao Wenji waved his hand: "That guy, although he is young, is a seven-trick and exquisite, where will he tell the truth to the students, even if he says it, the students dare not accept it." The student went to ask Hai Shuzu, knocked on the side, and learned some inside information. ”

"Let's hear it." Shen Youlong said that he felt that after the incident in Nanyuan, Hai Shuzu should have hated Li Zhaoji, and what he said should be true, but what Shen Youlong didn't know was that the two were not cousins at all, and Li Zhaoji held Hai Shuzu's handle in his hand, so that Hai Shuzu had to cooperate with him to act.

And telling the so-called inside story to Zhao Wen and listening to it is naturally part of acting.

Zhao Wenji said: "Then Li Zhaoji ran in many ways, and there are two major reasons for Yucheng's incident, one is revenge, and the other is greed for money.

Listening to Hai Shuzu, this Li Zhaoji has been sailing in the South Seas for many years, and has several conflicts with the English red hair, and the two sides have fought back and forth several times, and there are mutual injuries, and Li Zhaoji also wants to borrow the knife of the Ming Dynasty to clean up the English red hair. The second is that Li Zhaoji has been at sea for many years, and when he saw that the foreign ships were strong and sharp, he hoped that after the matter was over, he would be able to bring the two foreign ships under his command. ”

Shen Youlong nodded: "I see, this kid's plan is not small." ”

Zhao Wenji asked: "The first reason, Li Zhaoji didn't mention it, but about the foreign ship, just now when the three of them were talking in the front hall, Li Zhaoji took the initiative to bring it up, Dong Weng, do you think that if the matter is done, the ship will not be given to him." ”

Shen Youlong groaned for a moment and said: "If he only asks for a future, the old man is willing to bring his juniors, but he asks for a foreign ship, which is unintentional and serves the imperial court......." ”

Zhao Wenji saw that he didn't explain what he said, and he also knew that Shen Youlong didn't make up his mind about this matter. Just when Zhao Wenji wanted to say take one step at a time, Shen Youlong asked, "Mr. Zhao, do you think you can give it?" ”

Zhao Wenji sighed and shook his head slightly: "The students are not sure." ”

Shen Youlong smiled: "Mr. Zhao has been with the old man for many years, and he has the wisdom to know people, how can he not be sure?" ”

Zhao Wenji said: "Dong Weng also saw that Li Zhaoji was reckless, but he had great ambitions and was quite strategic. When the students first met him, they admired him very much, but after a few days of contact, they felt more and more like a person. ”

"Zheng Feihuang!" Shen Youlong immediately understood what he meant after being reminded by Zhao Wenhe.

"yes, that's it." Zhao Wenji said.

Shen Youlong nodded, the so-called Zheng Feihuang is Zheng Zhilong in Fujian, when Shen Youlong appeased him to serve the imperial court and solve the troubles in the southeast sea, it stands to reason that it is also a good thing, but over the years, Zheng Zhilong has become more and more arrogant, not only monopolizing the foreign trade of the southeast coast, but also self-contained, without any intention of retribution.

Now the Central Plains thieves jumped off the beam, has become a big disaster, the court in Songjin is also a big defeat, since the thirteenth year of Chongzhen, the court is to let Zheng Zhilong go north to resist the Qing Dynasty, but Zheng Zhilong Yang disobeyed, in addition to giving some food, ordnance, the rest of the requirements are ignored, concentrate on taking care of the forces in Fujian.

Li Zhaoji is also a maritime businessman, young and promising, and has great ambitions, and it is difficult to guarantee that he will not become the second Zheng Zhilong.

Shen Youlong waved his hand: "Let's talk about this matter, but we must not act like we did back then, and we must not solve a temporary worry and cause a big trouble in the future." ”

Zhao Wenji nodded, and didn't want to say more.

On the Rincha house.

Although Lin Cha is a military attaché, the military attache of the Ming Dynasty may not be a martial artist, and the same is true for Lin Cha. The Lin family's house is no different from the local doctor's house.

His study was located in the back half of the Lin family, but it was next to a pond, separated from the rest of the house by a small bamboo forest, and no one could enter except for his own soldiers. This can ensure enough privacy, and it is also suitable for Lin Cha and Li Zhaoji to discuss business.

Unlike the literati, Lin Cha is good at wine, and there is a wine cabinet in the study, he personally took Li Zhaoji into the study, but he didn't know how to speak for a while, Li Zhaoji's appearance shocked him, and how to get along with this guy is a problem that Lin Cha has never encountered.

Lee Siu Kee has his own handle in his hands, but it is directly related to his future and fate.

is obviously a reckless, but he is still a red man in front of Governor Shen Youlong.

It doesn't seem like he's going to school, but he's clearly a tough guy.

These things were mixed together, which gave Lin Cha a headache, so after he entered the study, he directly picked up the wine jug and drank the stuffy wine.

And Li Zhaoji sat on the chair, without humility and caution when he was in front of Shen Youlong, he knew that Lin Cha must hate himself in his heart, but he was helpless, and Li Zhaoji just liked this, you obviously want to kill me, but you don't dare.

Li Zhaoji saw that Lin Cha didn't speak, so he simply found a topic by himself, and he said: "Mr. Lin, Li Yerong was killed by me. ”

When Lin Cha heard this, his eyes widened and his face was angry, and he roared, "I should have thought it was you. ”

It was precisely because of the loss of Li Yerong that there were problems in the liaison between Lin Cha and Macao, which made the matter of the British ship drag on for a long time. If there was Li Yerong, he would have made the first move, where did he delay until now, and gave Li Zhaoji a chance to pinch himself.

"Li Yerong is not a good thing, he actually wants to fake the tiger and cooperate with me to make private money, I kill him, it can be regarded as cleaning up the courtyard for you." Li Zhaoji said lightly.

Lin Cha snorted coldly, he didn't want to mention it again, after Li Yerong died, he sent someone to replace him, and he did find out this.

Lin Cha put down his wine glass: "Say, what do you want?" ”

"Cooperation." Li Zhaoji said lightly, walked up to Lin Cha, picked up his wine jug, poured himself a glass, and said: "Everyone drinks wine, and there is money to earn together." ”

Lin Cha originally wanted to ask how Li Zhaoji was willing to hand over Chen Ping, Lin Rong and those evidences to him, but he didn't expect Li Zhaoji to speak like this, and he didn't ask again, Li Zhaoji said: "Today, you and my brother received a task from Shen Youlong, to put it bluntly, it is to get 100,000 taels of silver for the imperial court, and then dispose of the English red hair."

You and I are both great contributors to completing these two things, but as long as it is completed, we can divide the excess equally. ”

"Divide it evenly, what extra silver?" Lin Cha asked.

Li Zhaoji smiled: "You and I have been authorized by the governor to talk about trade with the English red hair, and when the Francois gives the silver, we will deal with the English red hair, we can negotiate the trade matter, let the English red hair give the money, and then unload the mill and kill the donkey." ”

"You're a clever man, and you're long-term." Lin Cha said coldly, but he was quite moved.

In fact, when the Weddell fleet incident occurred, he knew that it was the English red hair, and because of this, when he saw Li Zhaoji's ship in Lingdingyang, he thought it was a British ship, and directly ordered a robbery. Since I received the task from the Governor this time and disposed of the English Red Hair, it is nothing to get some benefits for myself before disposing of it.

Li Zhaoji said with a smile: "How can you get rich without horses without night grass and fat, people without windfall and wealth, and without courage?" ”

He added a glass of wine to Lin Cha and continued: "This matter is over, Chen Ping and Lin Rong will be handed over to you, and you can help me get the two foreign ships, and we will be cleared." Since then, the sea is wide and the fish jumps, the sky is high and the birds are flying, maybe one day, I will mix up overseas, and come back to destroy the four pirates, you and I, can we cooperate for a long time? ”

Li Zhaoji casually painted a big cake for Lin Cha here, but what he said was half-truths and half-falsehoods.

"Okay, that's it. It seems that Brother Li is also ambitious, and he doesn't want to break the net with me. ”

Li Zhaoji laughed and said: "Many friends and many roads, of course I also hope to have a powerful friend like you, as long as you don't cheat me, I wish I could live in peace with you." ”

Macau, Fortress.

Ferreira led a man into the office of Governor Schroeb, and when Schroebel saw the man, he asked, "Mr. Ho, why are you back?" ”

Mr. He sighed and said in very proficient Portuguese: "Your Excellency, according to your request, I went to Guangzhou to pay a visit, and met the chief soldier Lin Cha smoothly, but he asked Zai Xia if he could speak English, and he only said no, so he let Zai Xia come back. ”

"What does that mean?" Shi Luobao was surprised, and he was a little unsure.

Ferreira said: "Your Excellency, don't you understand, the officials of Guangdong, don't want us to meddle in this matter, they already know that when the Weddell fleet came to China, the conflict with the Ming Dynasty was a misunderstanding, they are not Dutch, they are English. ”
