The northern part of Yizhou and Fuzhou face each other across the sea, very close, out of Fuzhou for more than half a month, Ding Yi is still at the gate of Fuzhou, really respond to the old saying that if you want to hurry, you can't reach it. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Another sun set, Lao Lin and Li Sanlang finally brought a large group of people, there were fifty or sixty people, Li Sanlang was next to a middle-aged man with a rich face, this person was of medium height, wearing a silver crown with tied hair, wearing a round-necked silk sermon uniform, his body was straight, and he looked calm and capable. When he saw Ding Yi, he knelt on the ground from a distance, claiming to have seen the nobles of his homeland!
Ding Yi hurriedly stepped forward to help him up, and he borrowed a lot from the people of Li Village, so he didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly stretched out his hand to invite this person to get on the boat.
Li Sanlang introduced this person as the patriarch surnamed Li, named Li Xiunian. Li Xiunian is very humble and courteous, according to him, from Shandong to Yizhou has been more than 50 years, inheritance of four generations, at the beginning of Shandong from the five families, the conditions are difficult, it is not easy to settle, and the disease fight, and the wild man, the natural disaster, and the beast, the four have disappeared, only the Li family survived. Later, the branches and leaves were scattered, and people from Fuzhou who crossed the sea joined in, and they prospered again. Hearing Ding Yi's sighing, the pioneering history of my Chinese ancestors is full of blood and tears!
Li Xiunian said that in recent years, there have been several overseas red-haired and white-skinned people who have come to commit crimes, and their guns and cannons are sharp, but fortunately, there are few people, and they have all been repelled by them, and some villages not far away have been slaughtered by all the people, and they are very critical! The entire clan has held several meetings with other Ming people, sincerely invited the Ming Dynasty to send officials and soldiers to station, and has also sent people to Fuzhou and Nanjing, but it is a pity that the foreigners are not allowed to enter the door, and the work is delayed in vain, and those officials only accept gifts and do not do things!
The area of the entire Yizhou is not small, if it can open up the land is of course Ding Yi's wish, and at the moment he swears to the sky, he will introduce relevant officials for him and strive to make this matter happen. Li Xiunian also patted his chest and promised to send Ding Yihe back to Fuzhou!
At that moment, everyone worked together to make up for the fresh water and food for the lucky boat, and dug a ditch on the beach to divert water, looking for suitable wood as the main mast, and it took more than ten days to make the lucky boat enter the sea again. During this period, the leader of the savages also came a few times, and every time he came to the fortune boat, he bowed and worshipped, and gave Ding Yi and others a lot of opals and other rare things, and Ding Yi gave back the bow, arrow, knife and axe, and the leader of the savages was overjoyed. Li Xiunian said that the productivity of savages is low, and it is difficult to obtain a good knife and axe and a good bow savages, in fact, Li Village has good iron and limits the number of savages, so it is better to prevent trouble!
After the Fu boat entered the sea, he first went to Li Village, Li Xiunian moved on the ship with some special products, ready to be used to make friends with the eunuchs in Fuzhou, and some family members wanted to go to Fuzhou to see, Ding Yi of course agreed, and traveled together.
This time, someone operated the ship, the direction was clear, and it returned to Fuzhou in just two days!
The dock was in sight, but when I heard the sound of a cannon, dozens of large and small ships surrounded me, the gun jackets on the muzzles had been torn off, and the side of the ship was full of neatly draped soldiers, loaded guns and bows, and the momentum was violent. Tilting slightly, the big ship stopped, the muzzle of the gun was aimed at Ding Yi's boat, and there were even soldiers fighting with torches on the side, it seemed that they would be fired if something was wrong, and dozens of small boats rushed towards the lucky boat like sharp arrows. On the Fu boat, Lao Lin anxiously shouted: "Drop the sail, drop the sail!" Lao Lin called the sail, which was to show the other party that he had no intention of resisting and escaping, and that he would obey the other party's instructions.
After the boat came around, although there were many hooks and cables, no one got on the boat, only one person stood on a small boat, and loudly ordered the fortune boat to follow him into the harbor, and in the surveillance of more than a dozen large ships, surrounded by many small boats, Ding Yi's boat slowly approached the dock.
Before it could be stopped, a plank was put on the boat, and a large number of heavily armed soldiers rushed up, drove the boatmen who were in charge of the boat to the middle of the ship, quickly occupied all corners of the ship, stood up straight, and walked one person apart, one inward and one outward, as if a big man was about to come up. All the shipwrights sat on the deck under Lao Lin's beckoning, Ding Yi, Ye Feiqing and Li Xiunian stood by the hatch, a little worried, and some soldiers rushed past Ding Yi and went directly into the cabin to search.
Lao Lin stood at the bow of the boat, nodded and asked in a low voice with the officer who led the team on the boat, but the officer did not lie and ordered Lao Lin to stand on the side!
Not long after, the soldiers who entered the cabin to search signaled safety, and the officer waved to the side of the ship, and all the soldiers suddenly knelt together, moving neatly, and making a sound like one person. The boatmen looked at each other, at a loss. But I saw a person walking from the plank of the boat, with a white face and no beard, slightly obese, a few strands of white hair on his temples, and a serious expression, this person was wearing a red top jeweled hat, wearing an embroidered unicorn blue robe, and a black cloak behind him, it was Lu Sheng, the eunuch of Fuzhou Town!
Lu Sheng stepped on the boat, saw a crowd of people in the middle of the boat, frowned, didn't say a word, turned around and walked to the bow of the boat, turned his back to the cabin, waved his hand, all the soldiers stood up solemnly, everyone held their heads high, and their spirits were hundredfold. The officer beside him shouted: "Wait for the people on board, capture them all in one!" All the soldiers immediately acted, and the soldiers next to the cabin stretched out their hands to come to Latin and the others. Ding Yi shouted: "Wait! Father-in-law Lu is not harmed." ā
Lu Sheng turned his head to see that it was Ding Yi, and said with a smile: "Little brother, you have been gone for more than a month, and you are actually back, you come forward to talk to me!" waved his hand to the officer next to him again, and the officer hurriedly retreated and walked away, while ordering the soldiers to suspend their actions.
As soon as Ding Yi walked up to the bow of the boat, he was about to kneel, but Lu Sheng grabbed Ding Yi's arm: "No need to be polite, the fleet to Nanjing some time ago was missing two ships, I heard that you are also gone, and he also got angry at the general who led the team, demoted him, he actually didn't take you to the flagship, it's really damned." It's okay if you're fine, and I'm relieved to see you!"
"Father-in-law Lao is worried, but fortunately, Ding Yi's life is hard, and he finally comes back, hehe"
At this time, the officer asked someone to move two chairs and a coffee table to the bow of the ship, and Lu Sheng greeted Ding Yi: "Come, sit down, tell me not to come to the scene!"
Ding Yi was not polite, sitting next to Lu Sheng, and told Lu Sheng about the rebellion and what he had seen in Yizhou, Lu Sheng repeatedly asked for details, and Ding Yi answered one by one!
A soldier brought tea, Lu Sheng motioned for Ding to drink tea, and the two chatted while drinking at the bow of the boat.
The crowd in the middle of the boat was shocked, and the officer ordered everyone to gather at the dock and wait for the officer's order, Ye Feiqing, Lao Lin, Li Xiunian, and the shipwright were all escorted down by the soldiers! As soon as the officer gave the order, all the soldiers on the ship turned around and stood straight!
Lu Sheng was very interested in Yizhou, and ordered the officer to pass Li Xiunian on the ship to answer!
Regarding the situation in Yizhou, Lu Sheng asked Li Xiunian in detail, and made a decision at that time, the Fuzhou Navy Division could send a few warships to survey the hydrology and geography of Yizhou in advance, so as to prepare for the inclusion of the Ming Dynasty, and at the same time, after the return of the warships, he wrote to the court and arranged for Li Xiunian and others to go to Beijing. Lu Sheng said frankly, if it was during the period of Taizu Chengzu, there was a request from the outside to be attached, most of them would have been successful, and now the Wenchen is in charge, these Wenchen are not enough to succeed, and there are more than failures, I am afraid that they will oppose the expansion of the land with opinions such as labor and money!
For the returning Lao Lin, Lu Sheng also said that if he looks at Ding's face, this time he has no merit and can be used as a warship pipe belt.
Lu Sheng said that Ding Yi made a lot of contributions to the return of the lucky boat this time, and he wanted to wash the dust for Ding Yi at night, and by the way, he was shocked. Ding Yi replied that the delay was too long, and now he was like an arrow, hoping that Father-in-law Lu could arrange a boat to send him to Nanjing!
Lu Sheng immediately arranged a lucky boat for Ding Yi, and immediately set off and went straight to Nanjing.
Before leaving, Ding Yi quietly gave Li Xiunian 10,000 taels of silver tickets as a reward, telling Li Xiunian to deal with more relevant officials and go to Beijing as soon as possible, and agreed that Li Xiunian would go to him when he went to the capital.
