At this time, Cai Qian seemed quite leisurely. On a small island off the coast of Zhangzhou, dozens of large ships were docked. It was Cai Qian's fleet. Although he claimed to have surrendered, the ships were not captured by the government.

.On the sandy coast of the coast, a large sea-going ship was currently being set up. The length of the sea-going ship was about 13 to 40 feet. Countless members of Cai Qian's gang were dressing up with dozens of civilians who had somehow arrived at the island.

Together with others, we added wood to this newly built East China Sea giant ship.

Cai Qian was smoking a foreign cigarette while looking at this masterpiece with a businessman.

"I said, big boss, the villain will always follow your wishes..." A businessman on the side said: "It seems to me that this ship is more than three feet longer than the previous ship of the big boss.

In the East China Sea right now, Big Boss’s ship can be said to be unique.”

"It's not enough, add another ten feet." Cai Qian said calmly: "Also, the height of the boat, according to my original boat, is one level higher. It won't work even if it's less than an inch! I just want to see what Li Changgeng does.

'Ting Chuan', how amazing it is!" The so-called Ting Chuan was the name given to the warship by Ruan Yuan and Li Changgeng after they built it.

"But big boss, our ship... isn't it going to attack Zheng Yi and Wushi Er in Guangdong?" The businessman was a little puzzled.

"You know nothing!" Cai Qian scolded: "I ask you to build a ship, so you help me build it. If it doesn't work well, I will make you suffer as much as I want in the future!"

"Big boss, look at this little guy...hasn't he already brought the best wood to the boss? This...has been built for the boss at 30% of the market price. So big boss, in the future at sea...

"The businessman hesitated.

"What did you call me just now?" Cai Qian suddenly asked.

"Big...big boss?" The businessman looked at Cai Qian and felt that there was always a murderous look in his eyes, and he never dared to speak to him normally.

"That's right." Cai Qian patted the businessman and said with a smile: "Big boss, what do you think of me as a boss? There are comings and goings? I will remember what you did today.

As for what benefits there will be in the future, I will guarantee you this first. There will definitely be some. You will understand the rest later! Go down and see if there are any other problems with this ship." After hearing what Cai Qian said, the businessman said,

It was as if he had received a sudden amnesty, and he ran away in a hurry.

"Big boss!" At this time, Zhang Azhi on the side also admired Cai Qian: "The big boss is very wise, I admire you! From now on, I am willing to be a pioneer for the boss for the rest of my life, even if I die!"

"Do you understand this time? Hahahaha!" Cai Qian couldn't help laughing wildly, thinking that his clever plan was about to succeed.

"Boss Cai!" At this moment, an impolite voice suddenly reached Cai Qian's ears. When Cai Qian and others looked back, it turned out that it was Huang Kui who walked up to Cai Qian with several subordinates. Huang Kui walked up to Cai Qian.

With an angry look on his face, he said to Cai Qian: "Boss Cai, you have to tell me clearly what happened that day when you went south! Didn't you say you had surrendered? Why did the Zhejiang Navy still fire on me? I'll give it a try.

It was my fate to bring out all my ships, but Boss Cai, are you unjust? We promised to advance together and retreat together, but why did it become empty words when you were really in trouble? "

"Gang Leader Huang, what you said is wrong. You are the leader of your emerging gang, and I am the boss of my own gang. If I surrender, doesn't that mean you surrender? Besides, you said I surrendered at that time.

Is it really hard to protect yourself? There is nothing I can do at this juncture. But Gang Leader Huang, as I said, I must always take responsibility. I have a way, if your ship encounters this kind of person again next time at sea.

If this happens, just say that you are one of my subordinates. If there is any danger, I will help you bear it. But if that is the case, it is not right for us to have two gang leaders in the family, right?" Cai Qian said confidently.

Huang Kui smiled.

"Cai Qian, do you think you have more people under me in the past few years and you want to interfere in my ship? No way! I, the leader of the Xinxing Gang, is recognized by all my gang members, so there is no need for you to make irresponsible remarks!

"At this time, Huang Kui formed his own gang, called the Xinxing Gang, and claimed to be the leader of the gang. However, within two years, Cai Qian, due to the merger of Hou Qitian, Annan Yudang, etc., had far surpassed Huang Kui in power. Huang Kui could only rely on Cai Qian to

Continue to support at sea.

"Gang Leader Huang, you are rude to me. It doesn't matter. I am the boss. This business should be discussed and I still want to continue it." Cai Qian still looked confident and said to Huang Kui: "I said I can help.

Gang Leader Huang, I will do my best, but I was surrounded in Pishanyang that day, and you saw it. I couldn’t do anything else? Who else would surrender to the imperial court? It’s not that you don’t know that this person under me is better than

There were several times more in the past. They are doing their best for me, so why don’t I think about them first? I still say the same thing, if Gang Leader Huang is willing to join forces with me like Leader Zhang, there will be no more

If we are separated, then I will treat all the gang leader’s subordinates equally and will never treat them unfairly!”

"Cai Qian, you've had enough!" Huang Kui felt angry when he saw Cai Qian forcing himself. He also knew that living on this sea could not be separated from Cai Qian, so he had no choice but to make fun of himself and led his men back to his fleet.

Grandma Lu looked at Huang Kui and couldn't help but sneered: "Another ungrateful thing, Cai Qian, what's the next step?"

"Keep him. At this juncture, let's not start a fight. And I also want him to have a taste of what it's like to beg for food from me! Hahahaha!" Cai Qian watched as Huang Kui and others had disappeared.

In the sight, thinking that his big plan was about to come true, he smiled a little unrestrainedly.

"Brother, when should we set off?" Cai Lin asked from the side.

"Don't worry, this time we surrender, all we have to do is regroup. On the sea, we must remember that if our ships cannot be refueled every year and repaired every three years, then don't fuck with the government! Ruan Yuan, Li

Chang Geng, I will let you see with your own eyes what despair is! Hahahaha!" As Cai Qian spoke, he thought that Ruan Yuan and Li Changgeng must be surprised by their new ship, and his wanton laughter made him even more unscrupulous.

Already.

Sure enough, one month later, Ruan Yuan received an express report in Fuyuan, Zhejiang Province. Cai Qian's fleet suddenly plundered grain-carrying ships in the Luermen waters and rebelled against the court again. Since Cai Qian's ship had enough rice and grain, Zhu Xin and Huang Kui

Others also had to go and rely on him.

This time Cai Qian surrendered and rebelled again, which also made Jiaqing furious. Jiaqing immediately issued an edict to Fujian and Zhejiang provinces, asking Yu De, Ruan Yuan, Li Diantu and others to strictly suppress Cai Qian. Even after Jiaqing issued an edict,

In some of the edicts, Cai Qian's name was omitted and he was only called "Cai Ni". Important officials in Fujian and Zhejiang also knew that when Cai Qian became Cai Ni, it meant that his surrender path was completely overturned by Jiaqing.

After cutting off, all that awaits Cai Qian is a heinous crime and the outcome of Lingchi's execution.

Shortly after Cai Qian resumed his rebellion, Li Changgeng and Ye Ji also responded to Ruan Yuan's invitation and went to Fuyuan to discuss the future purge.

"Cai Ni..." Li Changgeng looked at the Jiaqing edict in front of him and couldn't help but sigh: "In this way, Cai Qian will not be able to use this trick to surrender in the future. The emperor calls him Ni, so he will

There is only one way to die. This edict is just a few months late. If this edict had been issued earlier, alas..."

"Brother Xiyan, I have been watching the affairs of Mr. Yu and Fujian in the past few months." Ruan Yuan also sighed: "Although I can't know all the details, but Mr. Yu's affairs are

But you can’t believe everything you say and do. In the future, when we send troops to quell bandits, we must also pay attention to this section.”

"Zhongcheng, when I first met you in Lianghu Town, I told you that this man is definitely not a kind person. It was because of our magnanimity that we thought he had become the governor for a while, and there was a major coastal defense plan in front of us.

It’s time to change our gender, and we don’t want to remain the same!” Li Changgeng said angrily: “But fortunately, although the governors are in name, they are not subordinate to each other. After that, we will only do our own thing to clean up the pirates. If Yu De is concerned, we will do it again.

Don’t listen to it either!”

"Yes, Brother Xiyan, in fact, what is really difficult to deal with at the moment is not Yude's matter." Ruan Yuan naturally knows the key points of coastal defense very well, and said: "The biggest difficulty at the moment is the Fujian and Zhejiang Navy, although it has been solved before.

However, the Zhejiang Navy could only attack Cai Qian in Zhejiang. It could neither guarantee the cooperation of the Fujian Navy nor go deep into Fujian Province to pursue the enemy. But Cai Qian was different. His ship was here.

From Fujian to Zhejiang, there is no obstruction."

"Zhong Cheng's intention is..." Listening to Ruan Yuan's words, Li Changgeng already knew that Ruan Yuan probably wanted Jiaqing to either allow Li Changgeng to enter Fujian to pursue Cai Qian, or to allow Li Changgeng to command the Fujian Navy together, but after all, he was just

The admiral of Zhejiang, it was a big taboo to interfere in Fujian's military affairs at will, so he got into trouble. But having said that, this matter may not be impossible, so he advised Ruan Yuan: "But Zhongcheng can rest assured. In my opinion,

Maybe after some time, there will be a turn for the better. Although the Fujian navy is not as good as the troops under my command, it still has more bloody people. They see Cai Qian wreaking havoc day by day, while their immediate superiors avoid war and seek peace. They

Can you bear it? Maybe Zhongcheng's wish is also their inner wish, and when that day comes, they may still beg us to help them."

"Yes, Brother Xiyan, there is nothing wrong with Zhejiang at the moment, but we must continue to strengthen prevention. For the rest, the two of us will wait and see what happens. If there is a change, we can't be so passive." Ruan Yuandao said.

He also comforted Ye Ji beside him: "Ye Sheng, I am grateful to you for the protection of armor on land in the past few years. I reported your deeds to the emperor the day before yesterday. If the emperor agrees, you will start from next year.

This is Linhai’s teaching.”

"Sir, I have not accomplished any meritorious deeds when I encircled and suppressed Cai Qian before. I really can't bear your recommendation." Ye Ji hurriedly declined.

"It doesn't matter, the outcome of the battle at Pishanyang was beyond our expectations, and it was not your fault. And based on your achievements in renovating Ningbo and Taizhou Baojia in the past few years, in my opinion, it is enough to make this edict. And

If you have this teaching position, it may be more convenient for you to do things in the future." Ruan Yuan's intention is that if Ye Ji takes the role of teaching, other students will definitely realize the future of handling Baojia and then defend on land.

He worked hard and devoted himself to it. It was a great honor for Ye Ji to be appointed an official as a student.

Thinking of this, Ye Ji no longer refused, but thanked Ruan Yuan for his recommendation. Ruan Yuan suddenly said to Ye Ji: "Ye Shengyu, you are responsible for handling the Baojia, mainly for Ningbo, Taizhou and Shaoxing. I haven't done anything before."

It was my negligence to let you participate. But there is something happening in Shaoxing right now that I don't know the cause of, and I hope you can help me investigate." After saying that, Ruan Yuan also said that Linhai Village where Su Jiumei was located was accidentally attacked. As a villager, Su Jiumei didn't know the whole story of Baojia.

told him the matter.

After hearing this, Ye Ji was puzzled for a moment and murmured: "Zhongcheng, although I am not in Shaoxing, I have heard a lot about the Baojia incident in Wenzhou and Shaoxing. According to common sense, this is absolutely impossible.

Ah, unless it’s…”

But just as Ye Ji was deep in thought, Jiang Er's voice came from outside the door, saying: "Sir, it's not good, someone just came from Hangzhou General's Mansion, saying that the Lord Zhongtang from the imperial court has arrived. The Lord Zhongtang has just entered.

The General's Mansion reprimanded the master, and is now calling the master."

"Zhongtang? It seems that the imperial court knows about the Xiaoshan pasture. The Zhongtang who came this time...could it be that Qingzhongtang personally took action?" Ruan Yuan listened to Jiang Er's words and thought about Qinggui asking him to go.

Unable to refuse, he said goodbye to Li Changgeng and Ye Ji in a hurry. Seeing that the coastal defense matter had been agreed upon, the two also said goodbye to Ruan Yuan and returned to Ningbo and Taizhou respectively. Ruan Yuan asked Jiang Er to prepare a sedan chair and hurried to garrison.
