Lin Xu sighed again and said in a complicated mood: "Mr. Liu, it's time for you. What you are thinking about is the common people!"
"I've been used to it for so many years, so I can't help but think about it!"
Liu Mingju also smiled bitterly at the corner of his mouth, and then said with a serious expression: "In addition to the common people, I am also very worried about someone!"
"who?"
"Dong Kaishan!"
Hearing this name, Lin Xu's face became solemn instantly!
Dong Kaishan, nicknamed "Old Captain", is the largest pirate leader in the southeast coastal areas. He has a strong influence among pirates and Japanese pirates, and even occupies a territory in Japan as him.
The base camp.
Japan has been fighting a civil war for decades. All the surviving princes were murderous masters. However, no matter how cruel the princes were, no one dared to attack Dong Kaishan, not only did he dare not beat him.
The idea of him even pleased him in various ways.
Because Dong Kaishan mainly engages in trade business, he is the biggest smuggler at sea, including cloth, grain, and even weapons, and there is no business he doesn't do!
In the poor and bad places like Japan, there was nothing good. In addition, after so many years of civil war, there was no food or clothing. Daning did not trade with them, so they could only open the mountain to Yidong.
The smuggling merchants led by the company are enough to buy supplies.
It is no exaggeration to say that if any prince dares to offend Dong Kaishan, once Dong Kaishan cuts off the supply of materials, then there is only a matter of time left to the end of this prince!
Not only did the princes dare not offend Dong Kaishan, but the other pirates and Japanese pirates also dared not offend Dong Kaishan. If anyone dared to offend him, Dong Kaishan would start fighting without saying a word!
Moreover, if Dong Kaishan doesn’t do anything, he will give up. Once he does something, he will have to be beaten to death and be disabled before he will stop!
Dong Kaishan used force to escort and made a lot of money by smuggling business. Then he used this money to strengthen his armed forces and continued to expand his business territory, thus forming a positive cycle!
Over time, Dong Kaishan established absolute authority in the southeastern waters, and as his influence on the sea grew
Big, those pirates and Japanese pirates also gave Dong Kaishan a resounding title - the old ship owner!
Last spring, after Lin Xu arrived in Hangzhou, he learned that although Dong Kaishan was very domineering in the southeastern waters, he was not a bad person because he had never robbed the people, and he just wanted to rob them.
The pirate who offended him.
Moreover, this person has no ambitions, does not want to rebel, nor does he want to become king. The only thing he hopes is that Daning can open the maritime ban and allow him to do maritime trade legally.
In addition, Dong Kaishan is also a filial son!
So, based on these situations, Lin Xu suggested that Liu Mingju recruit Dong Kaishan and let Dong Kaishan restrain the pirates and Japanese pirates from going ashore to loot the people!
