In Nanjing City, four flying shear transport ships went up the river and docked at the Nanjing wharf. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Several Ming soldiers escorted Shi Lang, who was tied up with five flowers, and walked down from the boat. He was followed by a medium-sized man dressed in a gorgeous Japanese samurai costume with hair tied in a bun at the back of his head, followed by several men who were as short as children, with shaved hair in the middle of the front, a pigtail tied around the top of his head, and a katana sword at his waist.

"Wolver! The Woko are coming! The people on the dock were so frightened that they turned around and ran.

The Japanese mercenaries in the Qiongzhou army really never disembarked in Nanjing, and the Japanese warriors who came before either entered Huguang from Guangdong, or passed directly from Nanjing by boat, and this was the first time that a Japanese samurai disembarked in Nanjing. The local people didn't know the details, and they were all taken aback.

However, the coolies who were busy on the wharf did not lift their heads, and continued to carry sacks and heavy boxes on the wharf, carrying the goods into the warehouse, seemingly indifferent to the arrival of the Japanese people.

Many of these coolies were coolies from Jiangbei, and they were originally workers of the Cao Gang. Since the end of the Cao transport, the boatmen and the Cao gang on the canal have not survived. Although under the instruction of the Qing court, Wang Xi severely punished profiteers and corrupt officials, solved the problem of lack of silver in the Qing court, and recruited many boatmen and Cao gang to join the green camp, but there were too many people who relied on the canal for food back then, and the Qing court could not support so many people.

The bosses of the Cao Gang were all defeated by Wang Xi, and the Cao Gang in Jiangbei was basically disbanded, and some middle-level members of the gang and some low-level workers fled to Jiangnan and developed in Nanjing.

Originally, the Lianghuai Cao Gang also had a certain influence in Jiangnan, but after coming to Jiangnan, their power quickly developed on the docks in various places.

As early as the Ming Dynasty, the Lianghuai Cao Gang had many local underworld forces of this gang nature, which were illegal back then. The real Cao gang became legal in the Yongzheng period. It is precisely because it is illegal in the first place, that in the past, it was only the officials who wanted to make profits through the canal and turned a blind eye to these gangs, so they did not care. But after Caoyun lost its effect, Wang Xi attacked the profiteers with heavy punches, and these gangs were hit.

The Cao Gang was not clean in the first place, not only were there some people from the White Lotus Sect inside, and they were beaten by Wang Xi, and it was naturally impossible for those people from the White Lotus Sect to join the army, so they fled to the south.

These people fled to the south, and Ying Tianfu also turned a blind eye to these people, as long as the people of the White Lotus Sect who mixed in didn't make trouble, as for them to collect protection money, help the workers come forward to ask for a salary increase, and they themselves became foremen to make a profit from the workers' wages, these Ying Tianfu didn't bother to care, and this phenomenon has always existed for more than two hundred years.

After Wang Xinyu came to Yingtian, he lived in Geng Jingzhong's mansion, and the original Jingnan Mansion had changed its brand and changed its name to Jingbei Palace. At this time, Wang Xinyu was drinking with Geng Jingzhong.

"Shi Lang was caught in Japan! has been escorted to Yingtian! Also, the Emperor of Japan has also sent an envoy to Yingtian, and they want to see you. "A pro-soldier came up and reported the matter to Wang Xinyu.

"Shi Lang was caught? Isn't he already dead? Wang Xinyu was stunned.

The pro-soldier said: "Shi Lang used Li Daitao's strategy to deceive us, and the person who died in Anqing was not him, but a small soldier." The thief fled to Japan, and originally wanted to go to the Americas, but he didn't have any money, so he worked as a guard in a green house in Edo, wanting to earn some money and go to the Americas. Unexpectedly, General Xiao accompanied the Koreans to Edo and recognized him! ”

"Shi Lang's martial arts are not bad, and his water warfare skills are also good, but it's a pity that he took refuge in the Tartars!" Wang Xinyu sighed.

In the dungeon of Yingtianfu, Wang Xinyu saw Shi Lang.

"Shi Junmen, don't come unharmed!" Wang Xinyu stood at the door of the wooden fence and looked at Shi Lang, who was covered in injuries inside, "I didn't expect you to run so far, and you were still caught by someone, it's really a magnificent and negligent Skynet!" ”

"Lord Wang, as long as you are willing to spare the villain's life, the villain will definitely be willing to make you a cow and a horse!" Shi Lang knelt on the ground, kowtowed again and again, and begged bitterly.

"Spare your dog's life? How many bad things have you done to the Tartars, and I can still let you go? Wang Xinyu sneered. He really hated this lackey of the Qing court who destroyed the last clothes of the Han people in history, and what was even more disgusting was that there were still people in later generations who sang praises to him, and even made a TV series to praise him. Just for these, Shi Lang must die.

Before leaving the dungeon, Wang Xinyu took out an ingot of fifty taels of silver and said to the jailer: "Look at him carefully, give him good wine and food these days, don't wronged him!" After a few days, this clan will take him to Wuchang and sacrifice the flag with his blood! ”

When he came to the house where the Japanese were staying, Wang Xinyu met the guests from Japan. The Japanese guests who arrived were not from the Tokugawa shogunate, but envoys sent by Emperor Enho!

"General! The humble post is the envoy Yoshida Yanji sent by His Majesty the Emperor to Yingtian! The man of medium height, dressed in a gorgeous Japanese samurai costume with a bun on the back of his head, bowed when he saw Wang Xinyu in a python robe.

In fact, the so-called medium height is only about 1.62 meters in later generations, but that height is already very tall in Japan. As for the two samurai standing behind Yoshida Yanji, I am afraid that they are less than one meter four tall.

"From Kyoto?" Wang Xinyu asked.

"Yes! It is the Kyoto Katsura Imperial Palace guards! Yoshida bowed again.

What Gui Li Palace, it is simply a few broken thatched houses, not to mention compared with the palace of the Ming Dynasty, even the Gyeongbokgung Palace of the stick cannot be compared. In this era, the emperor was almost as poor as the commoners, but on the contrary, the shoguns lived a good life.

When Yoshida Yanji explained his intentions, Wang Xinyu realized that the life of the Japanese emperor was too poor. The emperor saw that the shogunate imitated the Satsuma Domain and opened up the sea trade, and life was getting better and better, so he came to the door with a cheeky face, hoping that the Ming Dynasty could help support the Japanese imperial family with a little silver.

During the Japanese shogunate period, the emperor was a puppet. However, the Tokugawa shogunate never wanted to be emperor himself, and was later overthrown by the Satsuma Clan's downfall. However, after the Satsuma clan helped Emperor Meiji seize power, Emperor Meiji launched the Southwest War and ousted the Satsuma Domain.

"Help? I'm not a big tomorrow, how can I help you? Wang Xinyu shook his head.

Yoshida Yan Er said: "General, although you are not the Son of Heaven, your status in Daming is equivalent to Tokugawa's status in Japan!" If the general is willing to help, our Majesty will be grateful to you! ”
