Chapter 64: Plan to make money with Li Yuchun

William didn't speak Chinese, so he just cursed loudly in English. However, Mr. Yue's English level was really very poor. In addition, it was too old and he had basically given it back to the teacher. What he could write down now was "Gude".

Greetings such as "Mao Ning"

How could Yue Su understand William's profound English? He kept shouting, his expression full of anger. Yue Su observed his words and felt something was wrong, so he asked: "Zhao Ke, what is he talking about?"

?”

Of course, Zhao Ke would not translate this kind of words truthfully. He rolled his eyes and said, "When I returned to my aunt, he said that he was not convinced by what he said. If you have the ability, if we fight at sea, I will definitely beat you big Ming pigs."

"The shit is flowing"

After hearing this, Yue Su didn't get angry at all. He chuckled and said: "The governor admires Yingji's strength at sea. I don't expect the Ming Dynasty's current navy to compete with them. But who told you to run to the mainland?

If you come up here and act wild, you’ll be embarrassed."

Zhao Ke translated Master Yue's words to William truthfully. William became even more angry and shouted again, "I'm here to do business, you liars, you liars..."

Regarding William's words, Zhao Ke still changed the meaning, "Master Gu, he still said that if he has the ability to compete at sea, he will ask Master Gu... to feed the bastards in the sea..."

"He no longer has this chance." Yue Su said lightly, looked at Li Yuchun, and said: "The governor's navy fought with this guy last night and suffered heavy injuries, so he chased him all the way. He originally wanted to fight on land.

Capture this guy, avenge the dead and wounded brothers in the navy, and make him compensate for the losses of our navy." Then he pointed to the goods on the ground and asked: "Whose goods do these belong to?"

Mr. Yue's words made it very clear that he was sure to eat the British goods. The dignified governor of Fujian and Zhejiang asked for it, and he was his own uncle. He gave Li Yuchun some courage and dared not refuse it. But when he came, Li Yuchun

Wen Zhang had ordered that the goods must be snatched back. Now that so many people had died in his family, the stolen goods had to be given away. Who would be willing to do so? So he had to carefully discuss with Yue Su: "Master Gu, these

The goods are indeed from the British..." Regarding this, Li Yuchun did not dare to lie. "Logically speaking, all these goods should be dedicated to Mr. Gu as compensation for losses, but... just started... The little one also suffered heavy casualties...

It’s really not good to go back and I have to do something for you... Can I please..."

He said it implicitly, and his meaning was very clear. He wanted to share the profits with each other, so that each of them would look good. Moreover, with so many goods, just half would be worth a lot.

Are you qualified to bargain with me?

After listening to Li Yuchun's words, Yue Su sneered in his heart, but his face was calm. He said calmly: "What you said is not bad. You can't have a pension for the officers and soldiers of the imperial court who die in battle. Your people's death will be in vain. Isn't that the case?

The governor will allocate them as appropriate. After all, they are all members of my father-in-law's house. My father-in-law cannot pay this money out of his own pocket."

As soon as he mentioned Yue Su, Li Yuchun suddenly had a flattering smile on his face, nodded his head repeatedly, and said, "My aunt is right..."

But at this moment, Yue Su suddenly changed the subject and said again: "It doesn't matter if I give you half, they are all my family, but right now, dividing these goods is not a top priority. The most important thing now is, how to

In the aftermath, you and the English were engaged in such a large-scale armed fight. I didn’t see it, so forget it. But now there are so many people watching, even if you are in legitimate defense, I have to put an end to it in the lobby, otherwise I will not be able to do it.

Wen Bu Wen, if the censor knows about it, he must read the governor's book. The governor's life is not particularly easy now, and he is cautious in everything he does. I think my father-in-law also knows this."

The second assistant, Minister Tuogu, was transferred to Fujian and Zhejiang as the local governor. Will life be easy? Li Yuchun knows a little bit about this kind of political struggle. Now that the old man has said this, Li Yuchun can't help but give face. He nodded immediately.

Said: "I wonder what I plan to do?"

"It only takes one day to travel by water from Zhangzhou to Quanzhou. The British ships must be confiscated by the governor, and they must be taken back now. You must also carry all the goods and everyone's corpses on board.

Go and accompany the governor back to the Governor's Yamen in Quanzhou. When we get to the Yamen, we will do the usual business, and then you will take the goods back to Huguang." After Yue Su finished speaking calmly, he turned to his men and said: "Kong Youde, Mao Youjian, you two

Let’s board the ship quickly and see what the difference is between England’s ship and our ship.”

Yue Su's words were very plain, but there was no room for refutation. Kong Youde and Mao Youjian immediately accepted the order and led the soldiers to board the ship.

Li Yuchun felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't tell what was wrong. He really didn't have the courage to disobey the order, so he could only discuss it carefully: "Master Gu, what you said is absolutely right. This matter should be done

Just to explain, it’s just a bit troublesome to move the goods from our house to the ship. Otherwise, I will go back to the governor’s office with you, and I will make other things as simple as possible..."

"Presumptuous!" Yue Su scolded him sternly, and then said loudly: "Be simple? When will this superintendent handle the case with simplicity?"

"It was Yuchun who quickly smiled and nodded. Isn't the boss's unhappiness in his heart just a formality? Does it need to be the same as the real thing?

Okay, okay, if you say we can do it all, then we can do it in full.

After all, he was facing Mr. Yue, and he had to comply no matter how reluctant he was. Otherwise, once he lost his face, Li Yuchun would not be able to explain it no matter where he went.

So, he immediately ordered people to move the bodies and cargo of both sides to the ship. As for the British led by William, someone had already started to tie them up.

Everything is done, it’s evening, and there is food on board the four ships. Some people are not used to British food. They can eat on the shore. I’m so tired today, so I won’t do it. I will rest on the ship overnight and wait for the next day.

In the morning, when they set off again, he did not treat Li Yuchun as an outsider and allowed them to get on and off the boat as they pleased, so Li Yuchun had nothing to worry about.

It's just that these four large sea ships are extremely difficult to control. If you are not a serious sailor, you really can't do it. Kong Youde and Mao Youjian do know how to sail. Even if they are divided into large and small ships, they are all the same. But the difficulty lies in the clever women.

It's hard to make rice, there are few people at your disposal

There was no other way. Yue Su had no choice but to find Zhao Ke, ask him to help translate, and ordered the British to serve as sailors. If you agree, you can avoid death and have food to eat. If you don't agree, you will starve.

The British were able to surrender on the battlefield. Obviously they were not too arrogant. In order to have enough to eat, they nodded and agreed, willing to serve as sailors and help control the ships. With the help of the British prisoners, the next morning, the four large ships sailed smoothly.

"", go straight to Quanzhou

It was a day's journey, and at night, we arrived at our destination, the Quanzhou Navy Camp. However, after everyone came ashore, Yue Su suddenly ordered that all the people in Li Fuzhong, headed by Li Yuchun, be captured. This is Master Yue's territory, and the two thousand people in Zhangzhou will be captured.

People came with them, plus thousands of navy officers and soldiers, and the evil slaves of Li Mansion were still obedient and surrendered.

After Li Yuchun was captured, he was very puzzled and kept shouting, "Master Gu, what do you mean by this? What do you mean by this?"

"What do you mean, you will know later! Promote the throne!" Yue Su shouted loudly, and was in the military tent in the naval camp at that time.

Why didn't Yue Su directly capture Li Yuchun and his gang when he was in Zhangzhou? Instead, he deceived them into Quanzhou and then dealt with them? Yue Su has Yue Su's reasons. The first is the officers and soldiers of Zhangzhou. Take a look at their appearance.

, we know that there is no combat effectiveness. It can be said that if there is no such thing between the Li family and the British, just let the officers and soldiers compete with the British on the shore, there is no guarantee who will win and who will lose. However, the servants of the Li family have obvious combat effectiveness.

They were very strong. They were like wolves and tigers. They even defeated the British. They were covered in blood at that time. If Yue Su really let the officers and soldiers capture him on the spot, once they encountered resistance, the possibility of the officers and soldiers being defeated was probably higher because they were not sure.

The second reason why Yue Sucai did not order the arrest on the spot was that Li Yuchun claimed that he was his father-in-law's disciple. Yue Su did not want this to be true from the bottom of his heart. He did this because he also wanted to test whether the other party was true or false.

If Li Yuchun and his men seemed very nervous last night, it means that they have a guilty conscience and may not be from the Li family. During the day, they only showed their name to the Li family, but at night they were calm and fearful.

, that means they are really members of the Li family.

In these days, how many private soldiers can one vassal king have? Your Li family is not a general guarding the border. If you raise so many servants who can fight, once word spreads and the family is not exterminated, then you are a ghost. Especially at this time, there are

The nursery rhyme was nearby, but now that Mr. Yue knows about it, he can't sit idly by and do nothing. But he is afraid of killing a good person by mistake, and he is also afraid of letting the Li family become powerful. In the future, if there is a real rebellion, you have to be careful about everything.

Mr. Yue led his men, ascended the throne in the central military tent, shouted, and shortly after the prisoner was brought up, a soldier escorted Li Yuchun down the steps. The soldier was not polite, stretched out his leg and kicked Li Yuchun, and Li Yuchun fell to his knees directly.

"Master Gu..." Li Yuchun was feeling confused now, but as soon as the word 'Master Gu' came out of his mouth, he heard Yue Suduan shout, "There is no such thing as your aunt in the court! I have something to ask you now.

, you'd better answer truthfully, otherwise don't blame me for being rude to you!"

Seeing that Yue Su was serious, Li Yuchun realized that he had been deceived, so he had to say honestly: "Yes, sir..."

"What's your last name and where are you from?" Yue Su asked loudly.

"The younger one's surname is Li, and his given name is Yuchun. He is from Wuchang, Huguang." Li Yuchun said truthfully.

"Since you are from Wuchang, what do you want to do when you go to Fujian?" Yue Su asked again

"When I came to Wuchang, I was ordered by my boss to do business with the British people," Li Yuchun replied.

"The imperial court has sealed the sea. You are on the coast of Fujian. What kind of business are you doing? Don't you know the laws of the imperial court? Also, if you are doing business, why do so many private soldiers come here?" Yue Su asked loudly.

"This... the order to seal the sea, I do know about it, but I am just following the order, and... and... we didn't go to the sea... As for why we brought so many people... we were also worried that those English people were not trustworthy.

…Didn’t you, my lord, also see it at that time… The English really wanted to kill people and grab goods. If they don’t have enough people, they really can’t defeat them…” Li Yuchun defended

"You said it lightly. You said you were acting under orders. I will investigate this matter. Now what I want to ask is, why are there so many private soldiers in your house? What are your intentions in raising so many people?" Yue

Su asked loudly

"My family has a big business. Doing business and moving requires a lot of manpower. It's not surprising to have more people..." Li Yuchun defended carefully.

"If they are just ordinary laborers, it would be normal. However, these people are not weak at all, so we cannot discuss this matter together with the workers. I will write it down for you first, and I will ask you again.

, before trading with the English, have you ever traded with the Dutch or the Spanish on Taiwan Island?" After Yue Su said this, he stared at Li Yuchun closely and "raised his head and looked at the governor to reply.

!”

"Yes..." Li Yuchun slowly raised his head, and saw Master Yue who was sitting high up now with a solemn face. He was completely different from the easy-going uncle he saw yesterday. Looking at Master Yue's expression,

, Li Yuchun was shocked in his heart. He really didn't understand. Yue Su asked what this meant. He hesitated and answered cautiously: "This...it seems not..."

Because he didn't understand what Yue Su meant, he decided that it would be better to do less than to do more. Did you say that?

"What does it mean that there seems to be no? If there is, there is, and if there is no, there is not! Tell me! Is there?" Yue Su asked loudly.

"No!" Li Yuchun gritted his teeth and said

But from his expression, it was not difficult for Yue Su to find that Li Yuchun was unsure. This statement was probably untrue. In addition, Li Yuchun's previous answer was clearly concealing something. Yue Su gradually became certain that the Li family and Taiwan Island

There should be some contacts with the Spanish or Dutch people on the

The firearms he intercepted were most likely bought from foreigners in Taiwan. Li Yuchun was now questioning whether those firearms were really purchased by the Li family. Thinking of this, Yue Su realized that the matter was of great importance, so he

It can't be dealt with easily. It can be said that if the Li family really did it, Yue Su would really fall out with the Li family because this is not just a business. Smuggling firearms and fighting against the government and the army is clearly a rebellion.

Yue Su pondered for a moment and did not ask any more questions. Instead, he said, "Among you, who else is in charge except you?"

"Zhao Ke is one. In addition, I have two deputies, one is named Chen Ming and the other is Gao Chongguo." Li Yuchun answered honestly and at the same time, he was also muttering in his heart, what did Mr. Yue mean?

"Okay!" Yue Su nodded and said: "Take Li Yuchun to another tent, keep him under separate custody, and bring the man named Chen Ming to the hall." Defeat them one by one. This is a trick used by Lord Yue, and it is tried and true.

Some soldiers took Li Yuchun to another camp, and some soldiers went to pick up Chen Ming.

Now everyone in the Li family was captured by officers and soldiers, tied up, and thrown into various tents. It was not easy to take Chen Ming into custody. When asked, someone had to tell the truth immediately. The soldiers took Chen Ming out and took him to the central army tent.
