Chapter 130: Hong Chengchou is under pressure
Back in Fujian, Chen Ji saw that Zheng Zhilong was worried and asked why. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info Zheng Zhilong sighed and explained the reason.
"Sect Master, of course you are happy that you destroyed the Dutch devil's company, but who will we sell our goods to?" Zheng Zhilong smiled bitterly at Chen Ji.
Eighty percent of the Zheng family's maritime trade was traded with the Dutch.
The Dutch are known as the coachmen of the sea, and their commercial power is no joke.
Chen Ji was so angry that he didn't think of this layer when he destroyed the East India Company. The Zheng family's gains, the White Lotus Sect also has a share, it can be said that the Zheng family's loss is the loss of the White Lotus Sect.
The White Lotus Sect is now moving people in large numbers, and they need money everywhere. The sudden decrease in income made it a little difficult for Chen Ji, the sect leader.
Of course, even if he thought of these consequences at that time, Chen Ji would also kill the killer. It will not work without teaching the Dutch a profound lesson.
"The Zheng family's income has suddenly decreased by eighty percent, not to mention making money, even if it can maintain the Zheng family's sailors from collapsing, it is already very reluctant. What's more, we have to spend a lot of silver to curry favor with the court. Zheng Zhilong asked, "Sect Master, what should we do next?"
Chen Ji said: "Lord Zheng, rest assured, the Dutch power in India and Taiwan has been uprooted by this seat, but it is impossible for them to shrink back. For the sake of wealth, those Western devils will soon come back. ”
Zheng Zhilong said: "Sect Master, even if those Western companies can still come, will they still be willing to do business with us? ”
Zheng Zhilong, as the overlord of the sea, cooperated with the White Lotus Sect, and with the support of Chen Ji, the sect leader, he was still a little afraid of Western devils.
Chen Ji said with a smile: "Master Zheng, you don't have to worry about this. Foreign devils are different from us Chinese people, they are interests first. Whoever brings them wealth, they will work with. It doesn't matter if we are their mortal enemies or not. ”
There are no eternal friends, no eternal enemies, only eternal interests.
Chen Ji, who came from later generations, is very clear about the virtues of those foreign devils. If you want to trade fairly with foreigners, you must choose to show super force. Chinese civilization pays attention to moderation and benevolence, and these ideas cannot be eaten in the world of foreign devils.
So, it has to be tough.
As long as it can block the next wave of attacks from the Holy See and the Dutch, the White Lotus Sect's business with foreigners will be easy to do in the future.
"Those officials in the court, we will not give them any more silver in the future. Chen Ji had a sneer in his eyes, "Those old guys in the cabinet are all corpse vegetarians, what are you giving them silver? ”
If the Southern Ming Dynasty used these "filial piety" silver to develop the people's livelihood and relieve the people, and asked Chen Ji to donate generously, it would be a hundred willingness. It's a pity that Qian Qianyi and they don't know how to do things for the people at all.
The White Lotus Sect already has the strength to protect its wealth, and then pay money to those corrupt Confucians in the court, Chen Ji absolutely disagrees.
"But the sect leader, if you don't feed those pavilion elders in the court, our business will not be good. Zheng Zhilong said.
Chen Ji sneered: "They make our business difficult, and we can also make their lives difficult." Lord Zheng, the matter is settled, if they dare to embarrass our business, Lord Zheng can notify this seat, and the White Lotus Sect will naturally deal with it. ”
Zheng Zhilong smiled bitterly and nodded, "Okay." Just do as the leader wants. ”
Who is Chen Ji?
That's a god-killing one.
It was a person who dared to be an enemy of the Manchu court. Not only did he force Dorgon back, but he also made Dorgon temporarily succumb.
Chen Ji's words, Zheng Zhilong can do nothing but do it, what else can he do?
The White Lotus Sect and the Zheng family are only in a cooperative relationship, but as the White Lotus Sect becomes stronger and stronger, Chen Ji's record is becoming more and more brilliant, and Zheng Zhilong is a little restrained in front of Chen Ji. This invisible change in the relationship was not discovered by Zheng Zhilong and Chen Ji as the parties.
Chen Ji said: "Lord Zheng, then this seat will leave." ”
Zheng Zhilong nodded and said, "The old man will send you." ”
Chen Ji was in Fujian, and did not live in the Zheng family, but in the White Lotus Sect.
The living conditions of the Fujian rudder are not much worse than those of the Zheng family.
The two walked to the gate, and Zheng Zhilong suddenly said, "Sect Leader......"
"En?" Chen Ji looked at Zheng Zhilong, "Lord Zheng, is there anything else?"
Zheng Zhilong hesitated a little and said, "Sect Master, the old man hopes that Damu can worship under your door." ”
Chen Ji said with a smile: "Didn't Da Mu study under Qian Qianyi's sect? Why did you change the court? If Da Mu wants to practice martial arts, he can go to the martial arts hall under the command of the White Lotus Sect in Nanjing City. Actually, it's completely unnecessary to let Damu worship under my door. ”
It's not that it's shirk, it's really unnecessary.
Chen Ji didn't have time to retreat, so where did he have time to teach his disciples? Zhu Cihong and Zhu Yujiao, two siblings, Chen Ji didn't have much time to teach them, let alone Zheng Sen.
Chen Ji really didn't plan to accept any more disciples.
Chen Ji sighed and said, "Master Zheng, let's do it, it's okay for Da Mu to worship this seat as a teacher, it's really not necessary." It's better to let him practice by my side for a month every year, if he has any doubts about martial arts, I can give advice. ”
Zheng Zhilong nodded and said, "Okay." In this way, thank you to the Master. ”
It is a pity that Zheng Sen can't worship Chen Ji as a teacher, but it's not bad to be personally guided by Chen Ji.
Zheng Zhilong has high requirements for Zheng Sen, hoping that he can become a grandmaster in the future. The Zheng family has a strong grandmaster, so that it can truly stand in the world. Otherwise, no matter how much money you make, it will be for others to marry.
..................
As soon as they arrived at the rudder, the helmsman reported that the holy maidens had arrived.
Chen Ji had a hint of joy on his face: "Daddy and Mingyue have arrived?" ”
Entering the hall, Zhang Mingyue, father and mother, sister, Zhu Cihong, Zhu Yujiao, Wang Jiang, Zuo Li, they all came out to greet them.
"Dad, mother, Mingyue, senior brother, it's great that you have arrived in Fujian safely. Chen Ji said happily.
With Wang Jiang and Zhang Mingyue's martial arts, they generally will not encounter danger. But as long as he has not arrived in Fujian, Chen Ji is still a little relieved, and now he is happy to see that his family is safe and sound.
Zhang Mingyue said: "Xianggong, we went all the way south, and it can only be said that there is no danger. It's really dangerous for you to go to Thailand alone to kill Jackson Orton. ”
Wang Jiang said: "Senior brother, I really didn't expect that you would make Dolgon submit with the strength of one person. You've done something that many ancient generals couldn't. ”
Chen Ji hunted tens of thousands of Qing soldiers in Yangzhou, forced Duoduo back, and made Dolgon promise not to go south for five years. This move can be said to have shaken the entire martial arts world.
The people of the White Lotus Sect were very proud to have a sect leader like Chen Ji.
Chen Ji said with a smile: "Senior brother has won the award. I didn't expect to be able to push back Duoduo. There's a lot of luck involved. ”
Wang Jiang said: "Luck is also a kind of strength. ”
After greeting each other for a while, the two sides told everything they had experienced during this time.
During the time of separation, Chen Ji protected Yangzhou, killed Orton and the Japanese ronin, and disabled Andre. Zhang Mingyue, her parents and others also encountered a crisis, and were even besieged by thousands of bandits. Fortunately, Zhang Mingyue, Wang Jiang, and Zuo Li had good martial arts skills, so they survived the danger.
"Senior brother, is the old man okay?" asked Wang Jiang.
Chen Ji nodded and said: "Master has a good life in Taiwan, leisurely and comfortable, and he is attached to the landscape. Master has thoroughly comprehended the Taoist "Taishang Induction Chapter", and his spiritual cultivation is unfathomable, and now I can't even feel what level Master's martial arts have reached. ”
If the White Crane Dao Master hadn't suffered from the damage to his vitality, he would have already reached the level of a great grandmaster.
Zhang Mingyue said: "Xianggong, I believe that Master will definitely become a great master. ”
........................
Hong Chengchou had a hard time during this time.
The Quanzhen Sect promised to deal with Chen Ji, but the head of the sect still did not set off for Fujian when he arrived. With Hong Chengchou's wisdom, of course, he could guess that the Quanzhen Sect was stalling for time, but he didn't have the slightest way.
Hong Chengchou came to Fan Wencheng's mansion and wanted Fan Wencheng to think of something for him. Fan Wencheng has been in the Manchu Qing Dynasty for a long time and has old qualifications, maybe Fan Wencheng comes forward, and Dolgon will not put so much pressure on himself.
It is useless to do things for the Manchu Qing Dynasty, no matter how much meritorious service you make, but to mess things up is a big crime. The Manchus would not pay attention to the merits and demerits of those Han people who took refuge and atone for their sins.
Fan Wencheng said to Hong Chengchou: "Lord Hong, the old man really can't help you with your affairs. If you want the Quanzhen Sect to go south and kill Chen Ji quickly, you can only figure out a way by yourself. ”
What else did Hong Chengchou have to say, but at this time, the eunuch came, and Dolgon gave an edict to Hong Hong Chengchou to enter the palace immediately.
Fan Wencheng said with a smile: "Lord Hong, the regent has summoned you, you better hurry up." ”
Hong Chengchou hugged his fists and said, "Farewell." ”
Hong Chengchou thought that Fan Wencheng would help him, but he didn't expect Fan Wencheng to be so unkind.
Fan Wencheng looked at the back of Hong Chengchou leaving, and sneered: "Hong Chengchou, you are eager to make meritorious contributions and want to recruit martial arts masters for the imperial court, but you didn't expect that the martial arts world is the most unruly. Of course, you have to swallow the bitter fruit you have planted. No matter how great the old man is, he can't help you. ”
There are many people who resent Chen Ji, and Fan Wencheng's resentment towards Chen Ji is so deep that it can at least be ranked in the top five. Chen Ji's humiliation of himself back then, Fan Wencheng engraved it in his heart and never forgot it until he died.
It's a pity that Chen Ji's martial arts are too strong, and even if Fan Wencheng has a last resort, there is nothing he can do in the face of Chen Ji.
In the face of great power, all conspiracies and tricks are in vain.
Hong Chengchou came to the Qianqing Palace.
"Hong Chengchou, didn't you say that the Quanzhen Sect promised to deal with Chen Ji?" Dolgon asked, "But now, why hasn't that old Dao at the beginning of the Yuan Dynasty left? ”
Hong Chengchou sighed in his heart and said, "Regent, the slave guesses that the Quanzhen Sect definitely doesn't want to contribute, but he is afraid of offending my Daqing, so he verbally agreed, so as to delay time." ”
"How can it be justified? ”
Dolgon said angrily: "Hong Chengchou, you are responsible for the matter of recruiting martial arts masters, and you must solve this matter as soon as possible." Otherwise, the king will only ask you. ”
Hong Chengchou said helplessly: "Regent, the martial arts of the early Yuan Dynasty are unfathomable, and even Lord Ao Bai is not his opponent, and there is almost no way for us to take Quanzhen." If he doesn't kill Chen Ji, the minions have nothing to do. However, the minions can go to Wudang Mountain and let Wudang deal with Chen Ji. ”
