In this way, the time soon entered the end of August, and at this time, from the distant capital of the Ming Dynasty Beijing, came a shocking news that the Wanli Emperor, who reigned for 48 years, Mingshenzong Zhu Lingjun died on the 18th day of the eighth month of the lunar calendar at the age of 56.

When Jiangnan received the news, it was already six or seven days later, and when it reached Bengang, it was about to enter the situation of September, and this was the merit of the establishment of the Yuegang intelligence system and the carrier pigeon system.

When he received this news, Li Tianyang couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and muttered something to himself that made Yumo and the others not know what he was saying.

"After all, I am about to enter the end of the world, I don't know where this King Li Chuang is now, if I can wipe him out in advance, will I be able to give Da Ming a breath of relief and buy myself some time?" Li Tianyang sighed secretly, but at this time he was just thinking about it, they had more than enough heart but not enough strength, Qixintang was now on the rocks, and even Fuguang was not deep, not to mention the vast area of the north and south of the Ming Dynasty.

Subsequently, another news came, Zhu Changluo of Mingguangzong succeeded to the throne, and the country name was Taichang, and for the succession of Mingguangzong, the greatest impact on Li Tianyang was that the tax supervisor Lu Gui was recalled.

With Lu Gui being recalled, Cao Yongyi's time to Bengang became more and more frequent during this time, because of his backer, his official career of being excluded became more and more sad.

His intention of coming to Li Tianyang was very simple, but he wanted the Hongtang where Li Tianyang was located to exert more pressure on the coastal areas of Daming Fuguang to achieve his self-respect for raising thieves.

Li Tianyang is naturally very clear about Cao Yongyi's thoughts, but Li Tianyang is also insensitive to his instigation. It is obvious that things that are harmful and unprofitable to Li Tianyang's team, and it is definitely impossible for Li Tianyang to do it with such a shrewd person.

Therefore, when Li Tianyang faced Cao Yongyi, he often talked about other things, or pretended to be deaf and dumb, just not giving Cao Yongyi a clear answer, which made Cao Yongyi's heart itch with hatred, but he had to hold on to Li Tianyang with a smiling face.

In the end, when Li Tianyang held on to his death, Cao Yongyi went back disappointed. However, Li Tianyang sent someone to contact Zhang Yuyan and asked him to go and walk around with Shen Yourong and the old general.

Since Shen Yourong's sudden visit to Bengang, Li Tianyang has been in contact with him, an old general, from time to time pretending to ask about the old general's recruitment, and from time to time explaining the movements of Bengang Hongtang to the old general for a period of time, completely acting as a leader who cares about Zhao'an.

Perhaps because of this incident, he felt that he was at a loss to Hongtang, and General Shen mostly took care of Zhang Yuyan, the Hongtang person who was responsible for contacting, on the one hand, he comforted Li Tian and asked them not to worry; On the other hand, the righteousness is awe-inspiring, beating Li Tian to raise them, don't complain about it, and do evil.

Naturally, at this time, where could Li Tianyang agree to Cao Yongyi's request, and thus anger the old general Shen Yourong!

As soon as October arrived, another news came that made Li Tianyang stunned, Mingguangzong, who had just succeeded to the throne for less than a month, died of illness, and another great funeral unfolded in the north and south of the Ming Dynasty.

It didn't take long for another emperor who Li Tianyang's shallow historical knowledge did not know, Ming Xizong Zhu Youxiao succeeded to the throne, and the country name was Tianqi.

For this reason, Li Tianyang still doubted in his heart, could he have remembered wrong? Why did Li Tianyang never hear of the names of the two emperors in a row, but Nurhachi was famous, and Li Tianyang couldn't believe that this Ming was still the same Ming at the beginning, and he could only blame Li Tianyang for being lonely and unheard, and he didn't study hard at the beginning, but now he is sad in vain!

Finally, at the end of November, He Yong's voyage fleet to the South Seas returned safely again. Compared with the trip to the East, there were no troubles such as running aground and encountering wind and rain in Nanyang this time.

In addition, with sufficient preparation this time, He Yong's income this time was much more lucrative than that of Dongwei and his party. Nearly 100,000 taels of silver were exchanged for boatloads of Western exquisite objects, such as Persian carpets, crystal bottles, perfumes and spices, Nanyang ivory products, all kinds of jewelry, etc., which were enough for Li Tianyang to return back at least 250,000 taels of silver.

This is the largest wealth that Li Tianyang and his team have accumulated so far! Even He Yong and the others, who reported to Li Tianyang, were so excited that they couldn't even speak clearly, the first time in their lives that they had handled such a huge fortune, and He Yong and others a few years ago, they couldn't believe it.

It's not that they haven't had other ideas, and with this wealth, they can't live like heaven and earth wherever they go. But Li Tianyang has long been wary of the existence of such a thing, except for He Yong and the leaders who are in charge of major affairs, the upper echelons of sailors, as well as the cashiers and income accounts, all of them are old people who came from Tanmen, and their loyalty to the team and Li Tianyang is not easily changed due to the distance and changes in the environment.

In the end, when Li Tianyang received this huge fortune, he only fantasized about the use value of this wealth for a moment, and then Li Tianyang immediately flew a pigeon to pass on the book to Yuegang Zhang Yuyan, inviting Defuxuan Lu Bingyan, Jirentang Xie Dongqun and other businesses that have a good relationship with Qixintang to come to discuss and seek their cooperation.

Li Tianyang knew very well that with Qi Xintang's current ability, he wanted to digest such a huge amount of goods and convert them into actual money, but he was beyond his power, and it was not something that could be done in a short period of time.

After Lu Bingyan, Xie Dongqun and others were invited to Bengang, everyone sighed at the rapid changes in Bengang. On the contrary, for these expensive goods taken out by the Bengang Voyage Fleet, the shopkeepers of several businesses looked completely pampered and unfazed, and they were extremely calm.

Also, compared to Li Tianyang's small business, if they didn't have a few self-made special products, who would take care of these big businesses! Even if it is Jirentang, which is relatively average in scale among several businesses, the flow of water in Yuegang in a year is afraid that it is a million taels, and who would make a fuss about this cargo of more than 200,000 taels of silver.

When Li Tianyang explained the reason for inviting several shopkeepers to come, several shopkeepers naturally saw the success and agreed to sell this batch of luxury goods for Li Tianyang and them.

Of course, the people among them will not work in vain, and the shopkeepers who are businessmen will also take a commission from this batch of goods to make their profits. Even so, after this batch of luxury goods was sold, Li Tianyang and them still obtained a much higher value than his estimated silver taels, an overall income of nearly 300,000 taels of silver, and after deducting costs and expenses, there was also a net profit of almost 150,000 taels of silver, so that Li Tianyang spent several days in an illusion.

The third watch is coming!!
