Mingzhou, Shenjiamen Port.

Shenjiamen Port is located in Changguo County, Mingzhou, which is later known as Zhoushan Island. Like the Sanjiangkou Port across the sea, it is a very busy port.

However, there are also differences between these two adjacent ports, Sanjiangkou Port is next to Mingzhou City, and it is a large import and export port. Most of the goods in the entire Jiangnan go to sea from here, and Shenjiamen Port is an entrepot port. This port is on an island, and there is a certain distance from Mingzhou City, so the space that can be activated is much larger.

Therefore, there are many merchant ships who are unwilling to go to the wharves and yards of Sanjiangkou to trade privately at Shenjiamen Port. Over time, a market has also been formed. Later, the Mingzhou City Shipping Division also set up a city in Shenjiamen to collect a little tax from the ships that gathered in Shenjiamen. However, they do not need to bear and buy, and the tax rate is lower. The premise is that the goods traded in Shenjiamen Port must be transported from other places by sea ships, and they cannot enter the land of Liangzhejiang, which is actually a center of transit trade.

The Ji family has a wharf and a warehouse in Shenjiamen Port. In the past, they would transfer the goods transported from the South Seas to the "North Road Maritime Merchants", that is, the merchants who controlled the sea trade north of Mingzhou. At the same time, they purchased "northern goods" mainly porcelain from the maritime merchants of the North Road and shipped them to the south for trading.

However, now the merchant ships of the Ji family can enter the northern market generously. Correspondingly, under the interference of the Coastal City Shipping Division, the merchant ships departing from Jiehe Commercial City and Jingdong Commercial City can also go south relatively safely.

Therefore, the role of Shenjiamen Port has decreased slightly.

But today, a huge fleet of more than 140 warships and transport ships suddenly squeezed into the not spacious Shenjiamen port, which was not very spacious, and suddenly made the not very spacious port very crowded.

The number of wharves that can dock ships in the port is limited, among which only a few berths at Jijia Wharf can be used by the mission fleet led by Ji Yi, and the merchant ships that need to load and unload goods must take turns to dock at the berths, while the warships that do not need to load and unload goods are anchored on the sea far away from the wharf, and the small wooden boats gathered around the wharf are used to transport people, supplies, fresh water and shochu to and fro.

Ji Yihe and Fang La, who had already put on a green-skinned official uniform, and Li Gang, who had rested in Shenjiamen Port for a few days, were both taking a small wooden boat to the "God of Light" at this time. Ji Yi arrived at Shen's house with Fang La, Yuan Jue, and three or four hundred strong Manichaean warriors who were accustomed to life on the water only yesterday.

At this time, Ji Yizheng stretched his neck, carefully looking for something in the port of Shenjiamen, and after a while, he said to Li Gang beside him: "When did Bai Siwen leave?" ”

He didn't find the six big food galleys of the Aladdin Chamber of Commerce!

Li Gang thought for a while and said, "It's a day later than you, and I said that I went back to Quanzhou first to arrange the accompanying merchant ships." ”

"Quanzhou?" Ji Yi snorted, "I'm afraid I'm going to Guangzhou, right?" ”

"Guangzhou?" Li Gang glanced at Ji Yi, "Brother Yi, what's wrong?" ”

Ji Yi smiled, "There's nothing wrong?" After all, he is the white fan of the Heavenly Sect, what's wrong with stepping on two boats? ”

"Pedal two boats?" Li Gang frowned, "Guangzhou Pu family? Could it be that they really dare to go against the imperial court? ”

"Why don't you dare?" Ji Yi smiled coldly. "The Pu family is not a Song family, they are from the Great Food Country in the final analysis. On the side of the Great Song Dynasty, it is just a branch. ”

"But they have been in my Huaxia for hundreds of years."

"They have only come to do business, and their hearts remain in the land of the Great Food, in their holy city of Mecca."

"Hey!" Fang La, who was following Ji Yi, couldn't help but interject, "I'm afraid that he is a bird, this time I brought four hundred heroes, all of whom have good martial arts, and many of them are big thieves who are rampant along the coast of Liangzhejiang......"

Ji Yimeng turned his head and glared at him. Fang La then remembered that he was an official, and hurriedly changed his words: "No, it's not a thief, it's an officer and soldier, and they're all good officers and soldiers!" ”

Ji Yi said coldly: "Their Pu family has at least 50 war boats, no less than 1,000 Gulam war slaves, and more than 10,000 ordinary soldiers. Moreover, there is more than one merchant in the big food country rampant in the Sriwijaya area! ”

Li Gang frowned and looked at Ji Yi. Ji Yi said lightly: "Thirteenth brother, are those good hands excellent?" ”

"Hard!" Fang Ladao, "There are a total of 52 people, all of them, all of them are good officers and soldiers who are loyal to the monarch and patriotic!" ”

"That's good!" Ji recalled, "Let them all be on the God of Light." ”

He turned his head to Li Gang again and said, "Boji, you should go back to Tianli." Fang 13 and Mo Niangzi and I are going to go to Guangzhou. ”

"To Guangzhou?" Li Gang asked, "Are you going to arrest Pu Ali?" ”

No matter how awesome Pu Ali is at sea, he has no ability to make trouble in Guangzhou City - the officers and soldiers in Guangzhou can't help the 1,000 guram of the Pu family, but the Han maritime merchants in Guangzhou also raise thugs, and there are many gentry and wealthy families outside the city who have clan soldiers and clansmen, and they really mobilize two or three hundred thousand people.

"Pu Ali can't be caught," Ji Yi shook his head and said, "And it's not to arrest people, but to invite people." ”

Please?

Invite people to bring a fierce and vicious Fang La, and bring 52 good officers and soldiers who are loyal to the monarch and patriotic?

Li Gangxin said: No matter how you look at it, this thing looks like tying up a meat ticket! Ji Yi is the first Confucian student in the Ministry of Rites! How so? It's so unbelievable.

Thinking of this, Li Gang said to Ji Yi: "Brother Yizhi, it's better to let Muto Jinichi also bring a few good players from the Shinsengumi with you." Don't look at those widows who are short in life, but they don't want to die when they fight, it is not good to let them fight in a dignified formation, but the fight is very powerful. ”

Samurai, they all have to find someone to fight every once in a while. The real battlefield has never been on before, but they are too experienced in the brawls of a few people and dozens of people, and I am afraid that Brother Zhao Zhong is not as good as them.

And this group of samurai looked very weak, and when they saw everyone, they nodded and bowed, and there was no threat when they looked at it...... It's so fitting to kidnap tickets and conduct attacks in the city.

……

Wan Sisheng, the grand imam of the Tianfang Sect who once studied at Niezemia University, is standing on the Bangke Tower (minaret) of Huaisheng Temple, looking at the busy port of Guangzhou, and his white eyebrows are gradually twisted.

As the first generation founder of Huaisheng Temple, Abby. A descendant of Wan Gesu, he received the strictest education since he was a child. Not only proficient in the classics of Tianfangjiao, but also studied the doctrine of Confucianism, and his understanding of Confucianism is by no means below that of any great Confucian in the world.

In addition, as a young man, he traveled to Baghdad to study philosophy at the University of Niedemia and read many ancient Greek philosophies in the Palace of Wisdom.

So after reading "Rationalism" and "Positivism", he immediately realized that this was the oriental version of Aristotle's philosophical thought—not necessarily copied, but the core ideas of the two were very close.

In the days that followed, he repeatedly studied the Theory of Reason and the Theory of Positivism, and finally found that the effect of these two works on China's inherent Confucianism was unprecedented!

This is what can really make Confucianism perfect!

Confucianism pays attention to seeking the Tao without believing in God, but for a long time, Confucianism only knows how to seek things, but does not know how to do things. That's why there is a flourishing of Buddhism and Taoism, but now, Confucianism has been perfected enough to resist the erosion of Buddhism and Taoism, and can even win over Confucianism and Taoism believers in turn—of course, illiterate believers will not be won over by the Theory of Reason and Positivism. But it is difficult for the true upper class believers to resist the Theory of Reason and Positivism...... Because these two works really solve the problem of Confucianism!

I'm afraid this isn't a good thing for the Heavenly Sect, right?

Because after solving its own shortcomings, Confucianism will shift from defense to offense!

It will expand to the South Seas!

Isn't the real purpose of that huge mission fleet of more than a hundred warships to expand outward?

And this expansion action was not promoted by the Yuntai School Palace, the holy land of Confucianism?

Heavy footsteps and panting sound came from behind, and then the official dialect of Cantonese accent: "Daddy, Mr. Wu Jiang Ji Yizhi is visiting." ”

"Ji Yizhi?"

Wan Sisheng was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said: "Just say I'm not there, say I'm sick......"

"Daddy! Look down! It was still Wan Sisheng's son who spoke, and his voice was already a little flustered.

Wan Sisheng looked down and found that the streets outside Huaisheng Temple were densely packed with people! This posture is wrong! Could it be that the surnamed Bai sold himself again? The surname Ji is here to arrest people, right? That's a lot of nonsense......

"They're all with guys!" Wan Sisheng's son said, "There are hundreds of people, and the roads in and out are blocked......

"Quick, gather the ...... of the congregation"

"Daddy, Ji Yizhi is an official! He is a big official, almost the same as the Guangzhou Zhizhou! ”

Wan Sisheng snorted and glared at his son, "It's almost gone!" The old man is seriously ill and can't see guests! Just go! ”

"Isn't that right? He's a great official! ”

"What's wrong with the official? Could it be that you dare to burn down our Huaisheng Temple? ”

Wan Sisheng's chubby bearded son had to go down from the Bangketa and only arrived at the door for a while, and he didn't dare to let people open the door, but he just opened a small window on the door and said to the people outside the door: "Mr. Wu Jiang, I'm sorry, my father is sick, and it's really inconvenient to meet guests......

Ji Yi smiled, turned his head and said to the Mo lady beside him, "Mo Li, they don't see guests, what should I do?" Why don't I go back first, and you can reason with them? ”

Mo Li stepped forward, her eyes stared directly at the fat face in the small window, and her tone sank, "Mo Li, the messenger of the God of Light, has come to ask for advice!" ”

Not good now! Ji Yi is an official, and he always has to pay attention to the rules in doing things, and there are people in Huaisheng Temple above.

But Murly is a Manichaean witch, and a witch is unreasonable!

No, I still want Ji Yi to come back......
