Chapter 157: Pretending to be a sea coward, the Zheng clan swept the Yuehai

"Mulan Ci" was decided in this way, Wang Yan did not expect to be able to make up the opera he imagined at once, he only hoped that Li Xiangjun could practice with this and write some dramas about Yue Wumu and Wen Jiegong in the future.

Xu Yanyan saw that Li Xiangjun had something to do, she was happy, and asked people to invite Su Kunsheng, Wang Yan saw that she was interested, so she simply asked people to invite a southern opera troupe to live in the Guogong Mansion, specially for Li Xiangjun to drive.

For a time, the people outside the governor's palace often heard bursts of babbling and singing.

Southern opera originated from miscellaneous opera, since the establishment of Yan Nandu has been greatly developed, heavy vocal cavity, but Guangzhou is located in Tiannan, in the opera culture, far behind the south of the Yangtze River, Su Kunsheng listened to Wang Yan's suggestion, the introduction of the string music of the northern opera, and the integration of the wind music of the southern opera, coupled with gongs and drums, knots, immediately made the style of opera greatly changed, less of the elegance of the south of the Yangtze River, but more of the vast desolation of the north, making it more consistent with the "Mulan Ci".

For this kind of strange singing, it naturally quickly attracted the attention of the people, and it spread all over the city of Guangzhou within a few days.

The rise of the citizen class in the Ming Dynasty is a phenomenon that has never existed in previous dynasties, and people like opera when they are born, which is the product of social development to a certain extent.

Within a few days, the street outside the backyard of the Governor's Palace was occupied by many pergolas, and many people came every day to come just for the occasional singing in the courtyard.

Wang Yan didn't care about this, he was worried about recruiting new soldiers, but Su Guansheng suddenly rushed into the mansion, and when he saw him, he scolded, "The monarch's father trusts each other with Guangdong land, so he repays the favor of the monarch's father?" ”

Wang Yan didn't understand why Su Guansheng was like this, and he didn't dare to offend this old pavilion elder, so he had to let him finish scolding first, and then asked why he was so angry, only to learn that it was the opera troupe in the mansion that sang the lyrics every day, which made the whole city know, and thought that the Duke of Chu only sang in the mansion day and night every day.

At that moment, Wang Yan had to quickly explain to him and explain his intentions, Su Guansheng was angry for a while, but he still did not agree with Wang Yan to put the troupe in the Guogong Mansion, which made him very embarrassed, and finally had to agree, as long as he found a suitable place, he would immediately move the troupe out of the mansion.

When Wang Yan saw Su Guansheng let go of this matter, he couldn't help but feel slightly relieved in his heart, and was about to get up to send him out, but Su Guansheng sat down on the chair next to him, and then handed out a report: "Guogong, look at this!" ”

Wang Yan couldn't help but take it with a puzzle, and when he began to watch, Su Guansheng explained: "This month has just begun, three merchant ships have been robbed, this sea is too rampant, and he doesn't take the court into account at all, the prince must send sailors to clear the sea area as soon as possible, otherwise the trade between Guangdong and the Sea will be just empty talk." ”

Wang Yan looked at the report, listened to Su Guansheng's words, and couldn't help frowning, "Pavilion Elder presided over trade affairs at the end of September and sent ships to sea, why were no merchant ships robbed at that time, but now there is a problem?" ”

Su Guansheng's face changed, and he realized that the problem was much more serious than he imagined, "What does Guogong mean that someone is getting in the way?" ”

"It's just a suspicion, but there's no evidence." Wang Yan nodded, and then asked, "What is the reaction of the maritime merchants near Guangzhou now?" ”

Su Guansheng said thoughtfully: "The city department reported that since the end of September, there has been a trend of fewer ships going to sea, and after the recent hijacking, it has decreased by more than eighty percent. ”

After listening to this, Wang Yan already understood in his heart that it must be the Zheng family who was making trouble, and Su Guansheng had already understood this as soon as he finished speaking.

If it is an ordinary sea master, Wang Yan is still a little confident, but if it is the Zheng family, the sea overlord, with the strength of the sailors under his command, he is really not an opponent.

For a while, Wang Yan and Su Guansheng couldn't help but fall silent.

At this time, Yu Fangqi, the general of the naval division who had just been promoted by Wang Yan, was wearing tattered armor and broke into the house, and when he saw Wang Yan, he bowed and said: "Guogong, the last general is incompetent, and the rice grain that is ready to be transported to Qiongzhou has been robbed by the pirates!" ”

Wang Yan saw Yu Fangqi's embarrassed appearance, and he had already realized that something was wrong, but he didn't expect that the Zheng family would dare to plunder even the sailor warships escorting grain and grass, and he couldn't help but hate it in his heart.

"Qinyuan, don't blame yourself, this matter is not your fault!" Wang Yan tried to control his anger, and after collecting his emotions, he decided to understand what happened first. "You get up and speak, and tell Yu Wu and Su Ge Lao the whole story of the incident!"

Yu Fangqi heard Wang Yan's words, collected his mood, got up and said: "Four days ago, the last general led thirty big ships, loaded with 100,000 stones of rice and grain, and set off for Qiongzhou, ready to deliver them to Lord Zhou to settle the people, but I didn't want the fleet to leave Guangzhou for less than two days, and it was surrounded by more than 50 big ships. The last general led the fleet to fight with the pirates, but the pirates were far stronger than the last general, and sank the three ships of the last general in a quarter of an hour. Seeing that he could not be defeated, the last general broke out with the remaining ships, but the Haikou pursued closely, and the grain ships were so slow that they were almost all captured, and only the last general fled back to Guangzhou with ten fast boats. ”

After listening to this, Wang Yan glanced at Su Guansheng, and then affirmed his previous judgment even more, but he knew that there was no solution, and there was anger in his heart, and it was useless.

At this time, Wang Yan's mind was already full of anger, and he had no plan in his heart, he urgently needed to calm himself down and think carefully about countermeasures, so he let Yu Fangqi go down to rest first, and then sent Su Guansheng away, before returning to the study to think.

Zheng's strength at sea is huge, and the sailors in his hands are not opponents in any case, and it is definitely not possible to go to sea to fight hard, but the 300,000 people who have just been sent to Qiongzhou Mansion are short of food and clothing, and if they do not send rice and supplies to Shanghai Island as soon as possible, the people will inevitably suffer again.

Wang Yan couldn't help but fall into a dilemma, if he didn't go to sea, there would inevitably be a food shortage in Qiongzhou Prefecture, and when he went to sea, the ship would inevitably be robbed by the Zheng family.

The Zheng clan's power was there, and the maritime merchants in Guangdong were obviously in collusion with the Zheng clan, and they did not believe that he, the Duke of Chu in Guangdong, could compare to the Duke of Pingguo in Fujian.

For a while, Wang Yan couldn't help but be a little discouraged, so he had to return to the backyard with a lot of concern, and Xu Yanyan couldn't help but ask when she saw him, and Wang Yan told him simply.

Xu Yanyan listened, but cheered for Wang Yan and said: "Although Yan Yan does not have a strategy to help Brother Wang defeat Haikou, she knows that as long as Brother Wang can solve this crisis, the situation above Guangdong will be completely opened up in the future, and all kinds of problems in opening up the sea and trade will also be solved." ”

When Wang Yan heard this, he couldn't help but be stunned, and immediately praised in his heart: "Yes~ Although the Zheng family has created such a crisis for him this time, it is also his opportunity, once he breaks the Haikou, isn't it to tell everyone that on the South China Sea, it is not the Zheng family's world, and he is also the master of the Navy." ”

Before, Wang Yan was only afraid of the strength of the Zheng Clan's water master, but now that he understands this, he can't help but cheer up again.
