The combined fleet formed by Li Ming this time consisted of one landing ship, two landing craft, and seven newly converted sailing ships, and their mission was to unite with the Zheng pirates to cut off Macao's sea routes.

In addition, Qiao Haipeng will also organize several fleets near Tanegashima to blockade the waters near Nagasaki, and if he finds that the sea ships leading to Daming, they will intercept them and sink them on the spot if they resist. Manila would also send four pirate guerrilla fleets in Luzon to intercept Western sailing ships bound for Daming from Malacca.

Song Tao led a team to infiltrate Macao to reconnoiter the situation for the fleet and wait for an opportunity to disrupt the order in Macao. Let Macao become a dead port completely, once the news of the appearance of a large number of pirates in the waters near Macao spreads, the Western sailing merchant ships will definitely not dare to trade in Macao.

Albert will pretend to be a businessman from Europe to enter Macao normally, communicate with maritime merchants from various countries in Macao, and promote Manila among many foreign businessmen in Macao, so that they can trade in Manila in the future. Van Bit drove a sailboat and carried Albert to Macau in advance, waiting for the arrival of Song Tao's group.

The combined fleet left Vladivostok, sailed out of the Sea of Japan, and then went all the way west. Their first destination was not Macau, but the coastal areas of Daming, Jiangsu, and Zhejiang. They will meet with Song Shiping.

An island near the Zhoushan archipelago is a sea base established by Song Shiping, where the company's wireless communication relay system is built. This time, Li Ming and the others radioed and agreed with Song Shiping to meet here.

Now Song Shiping is living a very nourishing life, and he has caught up with a nobleman. Now his power has penetrated into Songjiang, Changzhou, Yangzhou and Hangzhou, and even Yingtianfu, Song Shiping is also very open.

The precious goods of the Far East were quickly accepted by the upper class of the Ming Dynasty, and although they were expensive, they were still in short supply. The Ming of this era. Although the country was full of holes, and the imperial court could not even make up the money to send troops, the gentry class, royal nobles and big merchant families below. But all of them are silver.

How can they care about the price, it's really expensive. If you don't buy the right one, you will be capricious if you have money. But there are really not many things that can enter their eyes, and these things in the Far East are simply tailor-made for them. Therefore, many wealthy businessmen from other places have come to Suzhou in person and want to bring back the goods.

Song Shiping's business has been doing well, and it has also attracted the attention of some well-intentioned people, and even those noble children of Ying Tianfu are red-eyed. Someone kept sending people to touch Suzhou Mansion. But as soon as I inquired here, there was no other action.

The last time the Liao family in Suzhou Mansion was wiped out, it has now become more and more divine. Even the gentry forces do not want to offend the ruthless people with knives. No matter how powerful you are, at best, you will scourge the local sticks, and no one wants your family to be remembered by a group of ruthless people who eat raw meat. What's more, the group of people behind Song Shiping didn't show their faces from beginning to end, so they couldn't be provoked lightly.

Moreover, Song Shiping chopped off more than half of the wealth obtained by destroying the Liao family and scattered it, and the whole Suzhou Mansion was happy. Even a few big men privately praised Song Shiping for being a man. The local officials of Suzhou Mansion will not be too difficult for him.

Since the last time Li Ming helped him exterminate the old black waves, he helped him sweep the sea surface of Jiangsu and Zhejiang again before leaving. So Song Shiping just waved his flag at sea. The heroes on the sea in Jiangsu and Zhejiang have come to vote. A large sum of silver was sprinkled, and it didn't take long for hundreds of sea ships to gather, as if it had become the largest force in the sea of Jiangsu and Zhejiang.

If there are people, there will be silver, and he will follow Li Ming's instructions to change the way pirates used to plunder and collect protection money. As long as the maritime merchants hoisted their horn flags, they could navigate freely on the waters of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, as long as the ships of the maritime merchants were robbed by other pirates. Song Shiping will stand out for maritime businessmen.

Unexpectedly, as soon as Song Shiping released the news, it caused a sensation among the maritime merchants of Jiangsu and Zhejiang. Although a corner flag is worth a lot. Moreover, each sea ship had to give Song Shiping another sum of silver, but there were still a large number of maritime merchants who were willing to buy it.

After more than a year of implementation. Song Shiping really helped a few plundered maritime merchants to come out, not only helped them recover the ship, but also wiped out those groups of pirates who didn't know the height of the sky.

Now Song Shiping can earn a lot of money just by collecting protection fees every year. Song Shiping has not been idle at sea for more than a year, he asked a group of old brothers to sweep the pirates on the sea surface of Jiangsu and Zhejiang several times, and the entire sea surface of Jiangsu and Zhejiang was clear.

The No. 1 landing ship slowly rushed to the beachhead of the island, and the huge front tongue door slowly opened, and Li Ming and Song Tao walked down from the ship. Song Shiping hurriedly greeted him with a few of his old brothers, although he was now the chief scoop on the sea surface of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, but he didn't dare to take it big in front of Li Ming and Song Tao.

He stepped forward and respectfully greeted Li Ming and Song Tao with a few old brothers, Song Tao laughed and said: "Old Song, look at your complexion, you have been mixing well recently." It is said that now the heroes of the sea in Jiangsu and Zhejiang have respected you as the master, and you are now developed. ”

Song Shiping laughed and said: "How can it be so mysterious, just leading a group of men from the sea to eat together." If it weren't for your help, how could I be where I am today, I am the shopkeeper of the Far East, helping the owner manage the stall in Jiangsu and Zhejiang. ”

Li Ming said with a smile: "In more than a year, you can make such a big scene, Old Song, I didn't misunderstand you." ”

They chatted while walking, and came all the way to Song Shiping's house on the island, and Song Shiping had arranged a sumptuous banquet for everyone.

As soon as everyone sat down, before the food and wine were moved, a few people came in from outside, standing next to them with a book of accounts in their hands. Song Shiping turned his head and said to Li Ming, who was sitting in the chief: "Brother, this is the account of more than a year, and I remember every one of them clearly. Please take a look at it first. ”

Li Ming smiled and nodded, then picked up the ledger and flipped it over.

"Old Song, it's only been more than a year, and this business has allowed you to do this, you are amazing."

After he finished speaking, he handed the account book to Song Tao and Ding Xinghao next to him, and they all looked at Song Shiping with a smile on their faces.

"Brother, you are scolding me, I am the exclusive owner of those goods in your Far East, if I can't make any more money, then I will die headlong. No matter what I say, brother, I have been floating on the sea for so many years, and I don't dare to say anything else, but it's okay to make a few bucks.

Now those exquisite and beautiful goods in the Far East have been sold to Beijing, and the southernmost has also reached Guangzhou, dozens of times more profitable, which is still in short supply, and it is difficult to think of underdevelopment.

In addition to the livelihood on the shore, there is also a lot left of the trade on the sea, except for the ones distributed to the brothers. This time you are here, and I have already brought all the money I have earned in the past year, so you can all take it away. I've got some emergency here. ”

Li Ming shook his head and said, "The silver is still placed here for you, you have to stock up on some raw silk and silk, and then listen to our greetings, I will eat this line in Japan." This time we will go to Macau, completely cutting off the Franky trade route to Nagasaki. By the way, don't forget your own share, or follow the rules we set before. ”

Song Shiping shook his head, sighed and said: "Forget my share, I can understand it, as long as the silver is enough to spend, don't mention the previous regulations." In this world, no matter how much money there is, the children and grandchildren must be able to keep it. I just hope that when I die, the two brothers will take care of my brother's family, as well as those brothers who have been with me for many years, and their families will also be handed over to you. ”

Song Tao was happy when he heard it, and he smiled and said, "Old Song, what are you talking about?" What do you think of our brothers, your family is my family, if you can trust me, in the future, those bear children in your family will be handed over to me and sent to our company's school to study, and they will be from the Far East Company after learning. ”

Li Ming also nodded and said, "One yard is one yard, what you said is not right." Even if we in the Far East hire a manager, we still have to pay dividends. Old Song, it should be your silver, you can take it generously, don't have any worries. You are now a member of our Far East Company, and your children and grandchildren can do things for us. ”

Song Shiping listened to the words of the two and immediately became excited. He raised his glass and said excitedly: "Brother, am I really from the Far East Company now?" Ha ha...... That's a good feeling, brother, thank you two brothers, I'll do it first. ”

After he finished speaking, he raised the wine glass and threw it up, then wiped his mouth, and said with a smile: "Since you are your own brother, then I am not hypocritical." But the previous charter still has to be changed, it is not my own charter, and people will be divided when they look at it. My livelihood on the shore, the ships and brothers in the sea, will all be in the Far East Company in the future, and this cannot be just talked, but must also be set up a rule. You have to send some men too, and I'm always in charge of it, and what has come of it? ”

After listening to Song Shiping's words, everyone shook their heads and smiled bitterly. Even Ding Xinghao, who was sitting next to him and didn't speak, couldn't help but look at Song Shiping with admiration, this guy can see far away, and he can be regarded as a character.

Song Shiping insisted again and again, and Li Ming couldn't say anything, he knew that Lao Song had made up his mind to mix with the Far East this time.

Everyone drank this meal very happily, and Lao Song was even more drunk, as if he had lost all his burdens all of a sudden. He's actually been thinking about it for almost a year. Since the last time he almost broke his family, he has taken a lot of things lightly.

This time, the powerful man he relied on in the Ming Dynasty once drank a little too much, so he told him some things about the Ming court. After that time, Song Shiping thought about it for a long time, and finally made up his mind to climb the big ship of the Far East no matter what. (To be continued)
