In the port of Zhongzuosuo (Xiamen), as usual in the early morning, countless ships set sail and prepare to go to sea. These ships are all going to sea for trade. [Love ↑ Go △ Xiao ↓ Say △ Net WwW.AiQu] When you go out to sea, you eat the food of God, relying on Mazu's blessing, no one knows what will happen at sea, and merchant ships are not fishing boats. A few months, many more years, so the people on the shore who bid farewell to their relatives are a little reluctant, and some even have tears in their eyes. The people on the shore are like this, and the people on the boat are even more emotional, and they are reluctant to part with each other as if they were separated from life and death.

"Alright, alright, the anchor is lifted and ready to go. If you can't deliver the goods on time, your wife and children will have to drink the northwest wind!"

A shipowner who was tanned and blackened saw this scene, shook his head and drank, and then the sailors cheered up and began to prepare to go to sea. Just as the big anchor was pulled up, a group of soldiers guarding the back town came on the dock, shouting to them to wait.

Seeing that General Liu Guoxuan, who was in charge of the dock, the captain of the boat, got off the boat in a hurry, saluted Liu Guoxuan with a smile on his face, and said, "General Liu, this little man has a license and paid taxes according to the rules. I don't know. The general calls the villain..."

Liu Guoxuan glanced at the black and fat boat owner, waved his hand and said, "I'm not here to check the license plate, nor to collect taxes, I just warn you by the lord's order, there have been many pirates in the waters near Dongfan recently, and they often rob When looting merchant ships, some even rob fishing boats, so you have to be on guard when you go out to sea. When you encounter ships of unknown origin, hide if you can, and don’t lean on them. AiQu]" (author's note: Dongfan, the official name for Taiwan in the Ming Dynasty)

"Is there such a thing?"

The black fat ship owner was startled, and many nearby ship owners also gathered around after hearing the sound. When the black fat ship owner talked about the matter, the big guys suddenly became nervous. They couldn't help but be nervous. The Dongfan waters were the only way for them to travel to the East and South Seas. There were really going to be pirates there, and it was not only their money, but also their lives.

A ship owner asked in a puzzled way: "General Liu, there have been no pirates in Dongfan for many years. Why is there such a commotion now? I went there last time I came back, and I didn't see any pirates."

Liu Guoxuan didn't bother to talk to the owner of the ship, he just said, "Wu Laoliu's ship was intercepted the day before yesterday, and he said it seemed like He Yi dressed up as a pirate."

When they heard that Heyi was pretending to be a pirate and robbing the ship, the shipowners were immediately filled with righteous indignation, and some people shouted, "Who doesn't know that this Dongfan sea is the land of the surname of the country, and Heyi dares to break ground on Taisui's head. , please send troops to Dongfan to drive away Heyi, and let them know how powerful the surname is!"

As soon as the ship owner called, many other ship owners immediately followed. They were able to run commercial ships in Jinxia, ​​relying on the protection of Zheng Jun. The taxes and silver paid to the surnamed Lord on weekdays were astronomical, so the sea was unstable, and these ship owners naturally Thinking that if the surname Guo received the money, he would have to do things for them.

The fact that people are short-handed and soft-mouthed is known to the surname of the country, and Liu Guoxuan knows it better, but the surname of the country really can't deal with Heyi, so he can only comfort everyone: "The lord will sooner or later recover Dongfan. Those who chased away Heyi, but now is not the time. For the safety of your merchant ships and fishing boats, the lord asked me to warn you that you should try not to go out to sea recently.”

As soon as he heard that Mr. Guo had no time to deal with Heyi now, some shipowners were immediately dissatisfied and shouted: "General Liu, how can we not go to sea, these goods must be shipped to the country on time, or they will be compensated for a large sum of money. ."

Other ship owners also suffered greatly, and said many disadvantages of not going to sea. Some ship owners also thought that the army under Guo Xing Ye was training in a big way recently, and they were exercising every day at sea and on land. Last year, he used a lot of troops, so it was understandable when he didn’t have a hand, so he didn’t make a sound, thinking that he would run a few times less, so he should take a rest at home.

Liu Guoxuan raised his hand to signal the shipowners to stop arguing, and then said to them: "If you really want to go to sea, whether you go to the East or the South, you must have enough swords and guns. The lord can't send troops to protect you for the time being, but you need guns and guns. , but come to me to get it, and if you want the cannon, I can give you some discounts, and I will discuss with the lord as soon as possible about sending troops to destroy the Heyi pirates."

After the shipowners heard it, they discussed it with each other and felt that this method would work. Liu Guoxuan explained some more here, and was about to leave, but there was a signal from a patrolling ship at sea, and it seemed that an unknown ship was approaching. The signal was sent out over the sea in the north-south direction at the same time, which surprised Liu Guoxuan greatly.

..........

In the palace of Yanping Prince, Zheng Chenggong, the surname of the country, is talking to his cousin, Zhengtai, Hou Jianping, the household official who manages the foreign trade and finances of Yanping Fan.

Zheng Chenggong asked casually: "Fifth brother, I heard that you have done business with Dongfan recently?"

Zheng Chenggong once told Zheng Tai not to do business with the Dutch people in Dongfan, but he did not resist the temptation of huge profits, and did a lot of business with the Dutch people without Zheng Chenggong, so Zheng Chenggong asked Zheng Tai immediately. I got nervous, and said, "It's not really doing it, it's all very piecemeal business..."

"Okay, I don't have any other intentions." Zheng Chenggong stopped him, "You can handle the business affairs yourself. Fifth brother, we are a family. Family. I don't let you do business with Heyi because these white-skinned people are very greedy. I'm afraid that your side will suffer, but if you are sure, I will not stop you. "

After listening to Zheng Tai, he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I didn't want to do it with the Dutch at first, but recently the army's salaries have been huge, and there is a big gap in the account, so I thought about getting some money from the Dutch to make up for it. It's okay. , although it is not as good as doing business with Japanese people, but you can always make some money.”

Zheng Chenggong nodded and said: "I know about money, and I also know that the current business is not easy to do. I am here every day with troops, and I will soon go north in large numbers. There are many places that need money, and I can't be separated from my background. , I have to work hard, Fifth Brother."

Zheng Tai mentioned something, he said: "The lord, the newly appointed governor of Heyi, Kui Yi, is very cunning. UU Kanshu www.uukanshu.com knows that we are busy dealing with the Qing Dynasty, so we are more and more courageous. I am here with them. The price of doing business is very low, and now they are sending troops to rob our merchant ships pretending to be pirates. If this continues, I am afraid that the merchants will not dare to go to sea, and we will lose income."

Hearing Zheng Tai's words, Zheng Chenggong pondered for a moment, and said, "I am afraid that the Dongfan problem will not be solved completely for a while. This year, I will go north again, and I really can't spare the troops for Dongfan, so I can only let Heyi and the others go wild for a while. After taking Nandu, we will clean them up."

Zheng Tai knew that things had to be prioritized. Compared with the troubles caused by Heyi in the east, going north and taking the south were Zheng Jun's top priority right now.

He asked, "When will the army go north?"

"In June and July, first raise some food in Fujian and Zhejiang, and wait until August to enter the Yangtze River."

After Zheng Chenggong finished speaking, Liu Guoxuan came to report that there were messengers from Guangdong and Beijing.

Are there envoys from Guangdong and Beijing?
