Yin Feng stood up and sighed: "No matter what others do, I must stick to it. The Zeng family is as kind as a mountain, Zeng Yue treats me like a brother, and the wronged souls under Manila City, I cannot give up these.
!”
"Even if you are fighting against the court, you will be willing to do anything?" Zeng Qi asked without changing his face.
Yin Feng thought for a while and nodded: "Yes, I'm willing to do anything. I'm not for my own personal grudges, but for the justice of all Chinese in the world."
Zeng Qi sighed: "I expected that you would say this. Have you ever thought about it for me, the elder and young man of the Zeng family?"
Yin Feng was stunned and smiled bitterly: "I'm not going to rebel, and Huaxing Union has now opened several provinces in Fujian, Zhejiang, Guangdong and Jiangsu. There are many aristocratic families involved. The court cannot control everyone.
All involved..."
China United Company's new and public investment form, and can make money while sitting, earn dividends, which makes many people who want to make money but don't want to do business in person. Especially for the aristocratic families in Jiangnan, Zhejiang, there are many people with spare money.
Some of them have already invested in the Chinese company, Huaxing Lianhao. Yin Feng expects that after the dividends in the second year, the credit that the shares can share will be confirmed, and more people will be invested. Among the people who invest, of course
It also includes several officials, most of which are half sold and half given away.
"You are just cunning. You are really no one in the court. Can't you see your background?" Zeng Qi shook his head, stood up and said, "Okay, I was worried about your strength, but now I've seen what you created.
The big situation is very different from those grassroots heroes. It has a foothold in this world today. However, everything must be careful!”
Yin Feng smiled: "Don't worry, I am a prison student of the court and will not openly oppose the court."
After Zeng Qi left, Yin Feng read these newspapers again and found that there was a memorial about the "demon book case" mentioned a person: Zhao Shizhen.
This is the most outstanding firearm expert in the Ming Dynasty. This guy has always been suave and upright, so he has been at the bottom of the position for a long time and cannot be promoted. The chief clerk of the Honglu Temple, who was of the eighth rank, worked as the chief clerk of the Honglu Temple for 18 years until the 20th day of the Wanli period.
In the fourth year (1596), he was promoted to the Scholar of the Scholar of the Seventh rank. He has always been a low-level civil servant, with a bumpy life and a life of miserable life. In the end, he was unlucky and was involved in the evil book case and died in a despair.
The last hope for the development of local firearms was completely shattered.
Yin Feng suddenly had a sudden whim: historical records show that Zhao Shizhen was an avid firearm enthusiast and a self-taught expert; and he lacked real firearm experts here.
...
On that night, a brig sailboat with sails falling down from anchors was quietly moored in the depths of a dark bay on the coast of Fujian. The ship was wearing a black flag, which was the original warship where Yuan Jin and Li Zhong defected.
Team 5 ship.
Although Yin Feng ordered the hunt for them, it was impossible for the Chinese company to completely control all the coastal areas of more than 400 harbors along Fujian, let alone countless islands. Yuan Jin and more than 100 people were
I have been secretly staying here for two days. In addition to tamsui, food is almost a problem, but my accomplices who are expected to turn away from Wugang together have not arrived yet.
Many people are full of complaints, many people want to leave here, and more people want to fill their stomachs. Some people suggest that they try to find nearby villages and towns to do it first, but Yuan Jin said: "Brothers, we cannot alarm the government at the moment, nor can we be alarmed.
The fishermen and people nearby would otherwise alarm the company. If you bear it, the brothers in Wanggang will start to make trouble. Our brigade will soon come and meet us. At that time, we will join the government.
When you tree a flag, you can all show off!"
Li Zhong grabbed his scalp and asked anxiously: "Ba Lao, can Zhou Qi still find it? We can also recover for a while after finding the subordinate of the eunuch Gao. I don't want to join the government."
Yuan Jin was also very dissatisfied and kicked the strait and said, "How do I know where he is now? Unless I go to Fuzhou to find it! But how do we go to Fuzhou now?"
This bay is close to the southern Zhejiang waters, and there are fewer pirates in Fujian, and not many vagabonds from the government's water camp. Yuan Jin and others dare not make any moves hiding here.
Two more days later, Yuan Jin could hardly suppress the commotion of his subordinates. In the sunset of this day, a brig ship that was exactly the same as Yuan Jin's ship appeared on the beach. This was Yin Feng suppressing the sailor's rebellion that night.
During the operation, the only ship that escaped. Moreover, the ship slipped away before the start of Yin Feng's sneak attack, so Yin Feng's subordinates did not realize that this was the case. Because of this, Li San's people were also
I don’t know, not long after they slipped away, Yin Feng’s cleaning of Wanggang took place.
The captain of this ship was Li Kuiqi's father Li San, but Li Kuiqi was not included. He wanted to go to the warship to fire and go to the seafarer's school to study. During the sailor's rebellion, all the students in the teenage literacy class of the seafarer's school were in the new
The old camp in the port, so Li Kuiqi did not participate in the rebellion; in fact, Li San did not voluntarily participate in the rebellion, but was kidnapped by his subordinates. His subordinates did not want to return to their old careers, but wanted to do a few more votes and return.
Home buys a house and farms for fishing.
On Fanhan Street, Wanggang, his ship was controlled by Yuan Jin's men. In order to get rid of Yuan Jin, his men pulled their anchors and fled overnight. However, they were desperate. Fujian coastal officers and soldiers regarded them as pirates, and the Chinese company regarded them as pirates.
They were traitors. In every way, they wandered along the coast for a few days and met Guo Xiaoda, a former Dongfan animal skin merchant who had recently escaped from Taiwan.
Guo Xiaoda originally specialized in the fur business of the natives around Wugang and Dayuangang. After Yin Feng brought his people to Taiwan, he established the China Company. He was also invited to invest in the shares at the beginning, but he wanted to work alone and did not join. China
After the joint company began to implement the fur license system, Guo Xiaoda's business plummeted. He could have invested in the Chinese company, but he chose to cooperate with the Japanese. In Tainan, Guo Xiaoda and several other Han people's fur
All businessmen are participants.
After the escort swept across the four major Silayan societies and Huweilong within a few months, natives from all over the country surrendered to the company and handed over the Japanese and Han people who participated in inciting trouble. Guo Xiao fled quickly and found a small fishing boat for Fujian fishermen.
Going to sea to escape in Langqiao on Hengchun Peninsula.
After several twists and turns, he met Li San's ship. Both were homeless and sympathetic. Under Guo's encouragement, the crew decided to find Yuan Jin and Li Zhong and join their gang to continue working.
However, Yuan Jin only had two ships now, which was much less than he had expected to pull out half of the ships. No one would pay attention to the strength of the two ships, whether it was the government or the pirates.
Two more days later, no other boat came to meet again.
Yuan Jin was a little desperate, and his subordinates began to prepare to flee in all directions. That night, five or six people jumped into the sea and swam onto the land, and they never returned it.
"Brother! There is a boat on the sea!" A sailor rolled and crawled into Yuan Jin, Li Zhong's cabin. The two listless people rolled out of the hammock and asked quickly: "Do you see who it is?"
"That Zhou Qi's banner is the ship of the Wang family in Fuzhou."
Yuan Jin and Li Zhong were overjoyed. They almost forgot that the sea in northern Fujian and southern Zhejiang was the sphere of influence of the Wang family in Fuzhou, and it was also the meeting place agreed upon when Zhou Qi encouraged them to make trouble. However, Zhou Qi brought him this time
What came was bad news.
After being reorganized, a subordinate of Yuan Jin was sent to a Taiwan inland military farm farm. During the escort, he ran away and got on Zhou Qi's boat at the Taiwan Port. As soon as he saw Yuan Jin, he cried and knelt down: "Bao
Old! The third master was killed, and the other brothers were finished, and none of the ship slipped away."
Yuan Jin was heartbroken: "Oh my God! I have been running to the sea at the age of twelve, and my thirteen years of hard work have been completed. And those brothers from Brother Li Dan, I'm afraid I'm going to be done this time!"
He gritted his teeth and asked, "Who killed the Third Master? Yin Feng?"
The man knelt down and continued to cry, "No, it's Lu Shitou, that Yankee!"
Li Zhong punched the mast: "Damn, this old guy has never been the same as us. You must avenge this revenge!"
Zhou Qi, who had been watching the side, was a little proud at this time, and walked over and said, "I'm afraid you're at the moment, right?"
Li Zhong was furious: "Fuck, who said that? At worst, we can go to Southeast Asia, the West, and fly away!"
Yuan Jinze bowed and asked, "Mr. Zhou asked this, probably there is a solution?"
"It's still Yuan Ba Lao is well-known and smart!"
Yuan Jin felt impatient at this time and asked angrily: "Does Mr. Zhou's boss have something to explain? My little people listen here."
"This is a promissory note of 1,000 taels of silver. Go to the Wang family in Fuzhou to withdraw it."
"Bang!" A promissory note was photographed on Yuan Jin's chest. Yuan Jin was shocked and raised his hand to hold the promissory note. He had never experienced a 1,000 taels of silver business.
“What conditions?”
"Carry up the team within three months, the more ships, the better. Then go to the coast of Fujian to grab ships. Except for the ships I told you that you are not allowed to grab, everyone's ships will be snatched. At the same time, we will use the banner of China."
Yuan Jin thought about it and gritted his teeth and asked, "According to the rules of running to the sea, there are differences between dry and wet work. Which kind do you want?"
Zhou Qi blinked curiously: "What are wet hands?"
"Dry hands means only robbing the ship and things, and try not to kill people, but we will handle this person; wet hands means that we can kill people in addition to robbing things."
Zhou Qi nodded: "You will decide this. In short, we must try our best to frame the Chinese company and let them suffer a loss."
Yuan Jin nodded: "I understand, please rest assured that your boss will be in peace. Within March, I will pull up a fleet and sweep the coastal areas of Fujian and Guangdong!"
Zhou Qi bowed and said, "The income will be paid by our two families at that time. As for the income from kidnapping people and selling people, let's share it with your own brothers. There is no need to worry about sea patrols, naval warships, patrols
The Procuratorate Office, our boss will do everything in advance.”
...
Yin Feng already knew the alliance between Yuan Jin and the eunuch forces of Gaolu, but Yin Feng could not grasp their next action yet. Now he is facing a joint visit from sea merchants in Haicheng and other places. The purpose of the visit is to come in person.
Ask: Will the "trade embargo" on Manila continue in the new year?
After visiting Penghu, I asked Yin Feng to let Hongmao Yi stay in Penghu, the Zhangquan maritime merchants Zheng, Huang, Li, Zhang, Lu, Shi, etc., among the representatives of the seven major families, except Huang Cheng, the other six families were also
Here comes.
The strong influence of China United Company has caused shock in the Fujian business community. It should be noted that after a century of foreign smuggling trade, there are many businesses that are rich enough to rival the country, but they are all scattered families; in terms of mobilizing social resources and organizing capabilities,
China companies are all freaks that are beyond the times. They are so strong that all major families are alert.
