Chapter 9 The Wind Rises and Sets the Sea
Since they have said to each other, there is nothing to be hypocritical, Li Yingyuan just wants to finish the matter quickly at this time and settle this confused account. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
After a while, Song Guerrilla sent someone to call Li Yingyuan over and explain what he had to do.
"Senior brother, congratulations on your successful refining of the Dao Seed and once you stepped into the door of martial arts. "As soon as Song Guerrilla met, it was a burst of haha.
"Since Master has made it clear to you, then I won't say more. However, there is one thing, this matter is very important, and it is related to the safety of millions of people on the southeast coast.
The leader of this Japanese is called Musashi Kojiro, this person has been operating the trade between Fuso and the Ming Dynasty for many years, his family is rich, his hands and eyes are all over the sky, and his eyes are very numerous. But don't worry, you don't need to take any risks at that time, and we will find a way to lure him out so that you have a chance to touch the Dao seed on his body.
In addition, I will prepare a future for you of the Jinyi Guard, but it will be kept secret for now, and it will not be made public until you return from completing your mission. Don't underestimate this position, there are people out there who are willing to spend thousands of taels of silver to buy this person. If you complete the task well this time and make great contributions, you may not be able to be promoted to 100 households, and you will be a big man.
I used to develop a spy in the Woko Nest, named Hai Dagui, a Langzhong, who opened a medical clinic on the island, and you can just enter the Wako Den as his apprentice.
However, this spy is just a brocade guard Xiaoqi, the rank is still below you, and the junior brother can be driven as much as possible, and I am not afraid that he will not listen to you. But there is one thing, this sea lord only knows that I sent you to the island to check the situation, I don't know what to do, and I hope you will not reveal it.
This sea lord himself has no ability at all, and there are more than enough failures, but don't spoil our big things. Senior brother, you go with him to settle on the island first, and I will send someone to inform you in the near future and tell you how to act.
I've already called for the sea to come over. Without further ado, you will leave today and go with him, what do you think?"
"That being the case, I'll just listen to the adults' arrangement. Li Yingyuan replied. "By the way, is that Brother Cheng still in your mansion, I need to see him and do something. ”
"That's nature, do you have to explain some mundane things clearly? Song Guerrilla agreed.
When the guerrilla's brother-in-law arrived, Li Yingyuan returned to the Taoist temple with him to handle the matter of returning to the world.
Originally, I had to explain these things clearly to the Guan Lord, and I also had to say hello to the head of the Discipline Hall and the Taoist priests in power, but fortunately, those uncles and uncles were keeping an eye on Jueyuan's inheritance, and they were afraid of changes, so they worked hard to promote this matter.
In the end, he also found paper and pen to write a recipe for medicinal soap, and the Taoist priests were full of joy after getting their hands on it, and kept complimenting Li Yingyuan for making a big deal after becoming a monk. As for how they scolded Li Yingyuan for being a fool in their hearts, it is unknown.
When these things are done, they will wrap some clothes indiscriminately, take some beloved things in their hands, and step out of the door of Xiaoling's hidden view. Looking back at the large plaque of the Taoist Temple, Li Yingyuan's heart suddenly throbbed, and he knew that his peaceful five-year life as a Taoist child was over.
When he returned to the Song Guerrilla Mansion, the guerrilla master was enthusiastic, and he even called Hai Dagui over and asked the two to meet.
Li Yingyuan carefully observed Hai Dagui, and saw that the other party was in his forties, with some hardship on his face, but he didn't take a stand at all, but tried his best to say flattery.
Li Yingyuan understood that the other party saw that the guerrilla master was polite to him, and his position was one level higher than him, so he thought of flattering him as much as possible.
It's just that it wasn't until Song Guerrilla said some confidential things at this time, and after giving some instructions, Li Yingyuan opened his mouth wide and couldn't close it a little.
I originally thought that the so-called widowed nest must be a desert island on the sea, few people know about it, and it is usually inaccessible, and only secretly comes out to kill people and set fire when it is necessary to loot, but I didn't expect it to be the case at all.
This so-called leader of the Japanese invaders actually settled on Dinghai Island not far away, has a large family business, and is usually a businessman with a head and a face. It is only at the critical moment that they will dominate the Japanese robbers on the southern coast, in short, they are both thieves and merchants.
Originally, Li Yingyuan also knew that those sea merchants were pirates themselves, but at this time, it was a different taste.
Dinghai is actually Zhoushan today, but there are many people who don't know the specific situation of Zhoushan. For the convenience of reading in the future, they are all introduced here.
It is said that during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the Chu State had a famous minister Huang Xie, called Chun Shenjun, one of the four princes of the Warring States Period, and his name was spread all over the world, and his fiefdom was in the territory of Songjiang Mansion at the mouth of the Yangtze River, so it was called Shenyi.
Hundreds of years later, fishermen mostly use fishing tools to go out to sea to fish, and this place is gradually called "Shen Hu", and then because the common people are illiterate, the books are mostly marked as "Shen Hu".
Until the establishment of the Ming Dynasty, this place was named "Shanghai" and was under the jurisdiction of Songjiang Prefecture.
Shanghai County is located in the Yangtze River into the sea, the geographical conditions are superior, and there are the advantages of fish and salt, a prosperous scene, the population is large, it belongs to the world's top two rich counties, and there are many people engaged in the textile industry.
The cloth produced in Songjiang Prefecture, which belongs to Shanghai County, is called Songjiang cloth, which is famous all over the world for its low price and good quality, of which the cloth produced in Shanghai County accounts for more than half.
Further south of Shanghai County is Hangzhou Bay, which can lead to Hangzhou, the capital of Zhejiang Province, and to the south is Ningbo City, which is also a famous city in the south of the Yangtze River.
Ningbo city to the northeast of a little direction, across the sea less than 100 miles, there is a big island, called Dinghai, the people on the island have always been engaged in Fusang trade and foreign trade, etc., and backed by the southeast prosperous province, but also live and work in peace and contentment.
It is said that the population of Dinghai Island is as much as 30,000, the streets are connected by large and small waterways, the scenery is beautiful, the folk customs are simple, and the foreign merchants in the land of Taixi come and go, and they call it "the Venice of the East", which is full of praise.
Of course, with the pride of the Ming people who have always regarded themselves as the central country, they feel that the so-called Venice should be called "the Dinghai of the East", not the other way around, but this is omitted.
On this day, Li Yingyuan went to sea with Hai Dagui by boat, and after several trips, he finally came to Dinghai. But seeing that this Dinghai is not as lively as the big city of Hangzhou, everyone is cleanly dressed and has a red light on their faces, which shows that it is also a rich place.
But there is one thing, Fusang people can be seen everywhere on the road, and there are even Fusang ronins walking together, drunk and singing on the road, and many people are sideways and detouring.
Li Yingyuan asked Hai Dagui to know that this Dinghai was originally an important trading point for transactions with Fusang, and many merchants settled in and out on weekdays. Among them, Fusang people are the majority, and over time, there are thousands of people.
What's more, in recent years, the Ming Dynasty has been repeatedly defeated in the north, and there are peasant rebels in the northwest, which makes the majesty of the imperial court disappear at sea. Taking this opportunity, there were ill-intentioned people among the Fusang people who secretly encouraged the Fusang people to move to Dinghai and slowly encroach on the land and livelihood of the original island residents.
Originally, the imperial court had strict maritime bans, and there were very clear restrictions and rules and regulations on Fusang and other foreigners moving to the land of the Ming Dynasty. But at this time, the war continued, and the imperial court didn't care so much, so it turned a blind eye to such an obvious colonial behavior of the Fuso people.
Fortunately, the Fusang people who moved to Dinghai also know the proportions, and know that if Dinghai is in chaos, they will not be able to find such a good trade base in the future, and they usually know how to converge. Originally, in recent years, the Japanese have become more and more rampant, and the coastal cities have been plundered, but this Dinghai is still stable, and it is an outlier.
In short, on the surface, this is under the rule of the Ming Dynasty, but secretly it is already the world of the Fusang people, and if the county governor or county leader wants to do anything, he must first obtain the consent of these Fusang people, otherwise he can't do anything. Those who don't listen to these Fuso people are even in danger of their lives at any time.
After listening to Hai Dagui's introduction, Li Yingyuan realized that this is really a place of right and wrong, and the leader of the Fusang Wokou wants to settle down, and there is really no better place than this. At this time, I had to cheer up my spirit, first do this errand of Jinyiwei, and then find a way to do anything else.
The wind rose and the sea was settled, and Li Yingyuan's magnificent legendary life slowly set off the prelude.
