If you want to be safe, you will die.

Gonggong Wei knew very well the power of those sea giants (merchants).

Throughout history, when the Ming Dynasty's maritime armed smuggling group was at its peak, it could even determine the national fortune of the Ming Dynasty.

For example, during the Jiajing period, Wang Zhi, the leader of the largest armed smuggling syndicate on the sea, was the recognized leader of many smuggling syndicates on the sea, and "all of the 36 islands obeyed the command," with hundreds of thousands of people, first called "King Jinghai," then "King Hui," and even "called Lone in the south."

Compared with the "Japanese Rebellion", more than 30 years later, the sea giants led by Zheng Zhilong really decided the fortune of the country, and the fall of the Longwu Dynasty was Zheng Zhilong's "merit".

But what makes people feel is that it is still the maritime forces led by the Zheng family who continue to inherit the clothes of the Han family on the isolated island on the sea after the fall of the Ming Dynasty.

On that island, the flag of the Ming Dynasty is still flying high, known as "Ming Zheng" in history.

The last fall of the Southern Song Dynasty was the last battle of the Southern Song Dynasty naval army in Yashan.

The last of the fall of the Southern Ming Dynasty was the last battle of the Zheng family's naval army in Penghu.

Father-in-law Wei has a homeland complex, and he definitely doesn't want to run away from his hometown to build a "Ming Wei" on the island, so he wants to gather the huge profits on the sea to support the Jiangshan Sheji that is about to collapse.

Therefore, a "civil war" was inevitable.

However, this first class also has to go in three steps, either in a hurry, he will lead troops to sweep the coasts of the three southern provinces, and then declare in public that his father-in-law Wei will be the leader of the southeast coast from now on.

The first step is to close the river and Qinghai.

On the surface, the closure of the river and the sea are equally important, but in fact, the focus is only on the closure of the river.

The maritime trade is dominated by the gentry of the three southern provinces, but most of the main sources of goods of the maritime trade are concentrated in the south of the Yangtze River. In other words, the Jiangnan merchants determined the scale of the sea trade. Although they were not directly engaged in maritime trade, they were the foundation of maritime trade.

The water transportation of the Yangtze River is the lifeline of merchants in the south of the Yangtze River and maritime merchants in Fujian and Zhejiang.

The water transportation of the Yangtze River has been cut off, and at least half of the goods can not go to sea.

Without goods, how can the maritime merchants of Fujian and Zhejiang trade with the Fanren.

If you don't take the Yangtze River water transportation and take the land route, you will have to double or even several times the transportation cost out of thin air, which is certainly not cost-effective for profit-seeking businessmen.

The goods could not get out, and in the end, these merchants had to resort to the special maritime zones that could help them get their goods out.

Zhao Baole said that sealing Jiang Qinghai is a very dangerous thing, in fact, this is an extremely dangerous thing.

Cutting off people's financial routes, such as killing parents.

This trick offended not only the governor of Yingtian and the county officials in Jiangnan, but also all the gentry in Jiangnan.

It is foreseeable that in the next few months, his father-in-law Wei will be sitting on a smoking volcano.

In order to make the closure of the river and Qinghai produce results in a short period of time, Wei Gonggong not only made the Wusong Water Camp blockade the Yangtze River, but also sent a public post to the local prefectures and counties along the river. Once caught, the main offender was beheaded according to the law of the Ming Dynasty, and the head of the owl was shown to the public, and the whole family was sent to the border guards to fill the army. ”

There was also a document sent to the Nanjing Garrison Yamen and the Nanjing Military Department saying that the current Admiral Maritime Yamen sealed the Jiang Qinghai Sea because it was discovered that there were profiteers who built sea ships and sold them to people for profit, and even leaked military information.

"Those who dare to interact with each other in private will be put on the line. All incense and goods are not allowed to be sold, and those who are in possession are ordered to hand them over to the maritime yamen within one month. Cover all domestic goods, and it is also forbidden to go to sea. ”

In order to show his determination to seal the Jiang Qinghai Sea, Gonggong Wei even burned a number of seafood goods in Wusong on August 19 to show his determination.

In the future, this is a typical closed country.

Father-in-law Wei lived to be the person he hated the most, but fortunately he didn't follow the order to move the sea, otherwise, it would be the same as the Manchu Qing Dynasty.

But there is no way, if you don't do this, no one will get on his thief ship.

The purpose of this parade is to deter and tell those Jiangnan businessmen who have business dealings with maritime merchants that you can't go on the Yangtze River anymore, otherwise you will be arrested at the least, or your whole family will be raided.

If we want to close the river, we can't just rely on the south of the Yangtze River, but also take action on the north side of the river.

Gonggong Wei didn't have any allies in Jiangbei, so he needed the Wolf Mountain Fort.

………

What did the Wei eunuch do to seal Jiang Qinghai, Zeng Guohua couldn't control it, someone else was in charge of it. But his Wolf Mountain Fort is not subordinate to the Wu Songshui Battalion, and if you have to study it carefully, the Wolf Mountain Fort was established earlier than the Wu Song Water Battalion, and he is not a false rank as a general in Tongtai, so why should he obey the dispatch of your Wu Songshui Battalion.

What's even more infuriating is that Zeng Guohua just arrived at the fort, and the Wei eunuch actually ordered him to cross the river to meet him, saying that the south and north of the river are integrated, and that in the future, the Langshan Fort should assist the Admiral Maritime Yamen to seal the river, which made Zeng Guohua have nowhere to go.

After taking away the envoy sent by the Wei eunuch, Zeng Guohua angrily convened the generals of the fort to discuss.

"What the hell are those guys in Wusongshui Camp, how did they listen to the eunuch's words? There are still rivers and seas, they are full! … What does my Wolf Mountain Fort have to do with him as a Wei eunuch, why should I listen to him! He can't go into the water, he Wei eunuch is a full man, and he doesn't know how hungry a man is hungry, how many people are on the Yangtze River! Zeng Guohua sneered.

"Who knows, Taicang County across the river also said that the Wei eunuchs rebelled according to the army." It was Zhang Tianbao, the garrison of the fort, who spoke, a native of Yangzhou.

Zeng Guohua shook his head, if the Wei eunuch really rebelled, he would not have called someone to come over and let him listen to the dispatch of the general of Tongtai, but would directly bombard Wolf Mountain, let alone do anything to seal the river and Qinghai, and write all over the country.

"I don't care how the Wei eunuchs deal with the officials in Jiangnan. But this Wolf Mountain Fort can't listen to him. ”

Zeng Guohua made up his mind, got up and walked to the hall. He is not stupid, the previous governor Yamen asked him to deploy a fort to monitor the Wusongshui camp, and he was very puzzled, I don't know what happened to the Wusongshui camp. Now it seems that most of the eunuchs and governors from Beijing are fighting for power, so that rumors are spreading.

The struggle for power and profit is like a fight between immortals, one side is a civil official, the other side is a eunuch, and he once participated in the general but was lazy to participate.

However, his responsibilities are in his body, and there are some things he can't ignore, such as asking him to listen to the command of a eunuch in a dignified manner, and he will not do it even if he is killed.

"The burden on our shoulders is very heavy, and the Wusong Water Camp is occupied by Eunuch Wei, and there is no gateway to the Yangtze River. If Wolf Mountain is lost again, the three hundred miles along the river will not be all owned by him Eunuch Wei. You cheer me up, defend Wolf Mountain, don't care about the affairs on the other side of the river, no matter what the court thinks of this matter, we will all have merit. ”

Zeng Guohua is an old man, no matter what happens on the other side of the river or what kind of trouble happens, his Langshan Fort is still the same as before.

Zhang Tianbao smiled and said, "My lord, if the emperor supports the Wei eunuch, I'm afraid we have had a wasteland, right?" ”

Hearing this, President Qianlu Wu nodded, and said: "Yes, I heard that the gang in Wusongshui Camp have now become the pro-army of the Son of Heaven, if there is no emperor's consent, how can these people become pro-army." Looking at it this way, then Gonggong Wei is afraid that he has the support of the emperor, if we ignore it, right? ”
