The second half of the month. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info The weak people have to wear cotton clothes and leather robes, and come to Tianjin Tianwei to sacrifice, and the small ones are gradually decreasing, but the various commercial houses and warehouses are entering the busiest time of the year.

Tianjin Wei to the Beijing division of this section of the waterway has been unable to go by ship, in another half a month, the sea ship wants to enter the port is also difficult, but the Beijing division and the nearby provinces in the month of the demand for goods is extremely amazing, the Beijing division is like a bottomless pit in general, the palace is inside, the emperor's relatives, noble officials, rich and wealthy, every New Year's holiday, their own food, ushered in. I don't know how much it will be used.

Not to mention the provinces of Beizhili, Jinan Mansion, Dongchang Mansion, and even Kaifeng Mansion in Henan Province Guide Mansion, a large number of goods have been transported to various places in Liaozhen outside the Guan.

The needs of these rich lands were filled with high-quality and inexpensive Tianjin Wei goods, countless goods went out, large sums of silver came in, and the maritime merchants from the south and foreign countries, and the merchants outside the city in the Tianjin Acropolis were all rich and rich.

After more than half a year of operation, the reputation of Tianjin Wei's prosperity and wealth has spread in the north and south of the river, and the mainland and foreign countries have begun to spread, and many skeptical people have begun to believe, and many people plan to go to Tianjin Wei to have a look.

The merchant store began to stock up on goods, and some of the merchants of Beijing began to send a large number of goods to Beijing in the branch shop of Tianjin Wei, and this pen went in and out, plus the fleet that went to Liaozhen, Wang Tong sent 200,000 taels of silver to the palace at one time in October.

Tianjin Wei is now a goose that lays golden eggs, and all parties related to the interests of Tianjin Wei are carefully taken care of, lest there be any mess, and everyone will have no money.

So when Chen Phosphorus's small fleet passed through Shandong, someone noticed this strange team. There are the kind of cannon ships of the Fan people inside, but there are also a few Guangzhou ships, which are actually hung with the flag of the Ming Naval Division, and vaguely those Guangzhou ships seem to be the gunboats guarding the Fan people, what are they here for, no matter how you look at it, it feels weird.

Hustle, there was a merchant ship that was familiar with the waterway and sailed quickly, entered Tianjin Weigang early, and hurriedly told Wang Tong the news.

These ghosts are very unclean, and sometimes they dare to rob them when they see that you are weak. If it weren't for the three water kings' ruthless attacks, these people wouldn't know how far they would have done at sea.

Wang Tong was also surprised to hear that a gunboat was coming, according to his limited historical knowledge, the appearance of foreign warships on the sea outside Tianjin Wei seemed to be during the Opium War.

On the one hand, Wang Tong began to arrange arson ships and shore artillery, and on the other hand, he informed Sun Zhibin, the general who was guarding Tianjin, and the matter was big, Sun Zhibin did not dare to slack off, while mobilizing troops and horses, he went to the fire organ workshop to get six general cannons, and pulled them to the seaside.

Anyway, there are only a few places where you can land, all of them are barren beaches, the artillery is arranged, the cavalry is ready, you just have to lean up.

The preparation for the chickens and dogs jumping on the shore, the fleet sent by Chen Phosphorus also seemed to know that it would cause alarm, and did not rush to the shore first, but first sent someone to come over in a small boat.

But then, Tang Shan, who has not yet been officially recognized as the "Haihe River Inspection", has gathered more vigilance than others, and he has always been very cautious and cautious in Wang Tong's system, making an exception to ask Wang Tong personally, saying that he must not be careless.

When the red-haired people went ashore in Macao and said that they would borrow a place the size of a cowhide to rest, but after going ashore, they cut the cowhide into thin strips and then expanded a large area.

The people sent by Chen Phosphorus didn't matter, but they just sighed that if the world was as cautious as Tianjin Wei, did they have to worry about anything?

The Huwei army dispatched three battalions of soldiers, and each ship of Chen Li's fleet was hung with arson boats on both sides, and if something was slightly wrong, the soldiers on the ship could start to suppress it, and the arson ship could also set fire to the ship, which was also a foolproof method.

After doing this, Tang Shan agreed to let these sea ships outside enter the port, and others felt that Tang Shan was too hearty. Unexpectedly, Wang Tong immediately promoted a small flag to Tangshan. Now there are a lot of people under his control, but there are still many people who are still Jinyi guards, Pan Ming, who is in charge of the bow of the boat, and Tangshan by the Haihe River, but now Tangshan has gone up.

Tianjin Wei sent a ship to the sea to explain the rules to Chen Li's fleet, and on the way back, he still brought a person, a bearded blacksmith.

Among the Portuguese on the ship, there were non-commissioned officers and workshop owners, and their status was more than this. The blacksmith is much taller, but along the way, the officers and soldiers of the Ming Kingdom on the ship are very polite to the bearded blacksmith, and the treatment in terms of food and accommodation is much better, and they treat others with bad words.

Everyone didn't quite understand why this was the case, and looking at it from a distance, it seemed that the blacksmith didn't know why he was treated so well.

Observing the course and experiencing the gradually colder temperature, everyone knows that this time we are coming to the north of Gang. But the blacksmiths were nothing more than gold seekers who had come from Benshi to the East to pan for gold: what would be treated so specially? ”

"Master Bamond, it's been a long time, how are you doing?"

Wang Tong smiled and clenched his fists and said, in front of him was a bearded blacksmith with a stunned face, the blacksmith who taught him to make iron in Macau, was his first teacher.

Bamond rubbed his eyes vigorously with his hands, looked at Wang Tong, who had matured a lot, in disbelief, and asked in a trembling voice:

"You are Xiao Wang Tong, the little Wang Tong who pestered me to learn to strike iron?"

He spoke the official dialect with a Cantonese accent, and his official dialect mixed with a Cantonese and Portuguese accent was quite blunt, and several of the soldiers who followed Wang Tong couldn't help laughing, but Sun Dahai turned his head and glared at him viciously, and they each covered their mouths.

Wang Tong nodded with a smile, reached out and took out the short mirror from the holster on his side, as soon as he saw this short system, Bamond had any doubts, took a few steps forward, hugged Wang Tong suddenly, and said loudly:

"Xiao Wang Tong has grown up, Xiao Wang Tong has grown up" small

The sudden movement of the white man Bachide startled the guards behind Wang Tong, and the knives of several people in the front row had been drawn, Wang Tong was hugged by Bathmond, and he stretched out his hand and waved it behind his back with difficulty, which stopped the movement of his subordinates.

"I've been thinking all the way, why did you bring me here, and I only understood when I saw you."

Wang Tong had a smile on his face, this blacksmith Bamond was the person who made him feel kind, and the time when he went to Macau with his father was the best day of this era, and Bamond helped him a lot in Macau, and was an important part of that good time.

After hugging him, his big hand slapped Wang Tong's back and shoulders a few times, Bamond took a step back and looked Wang Tong up and down carefully, and said in admiration:

"Little Wang Tong is also a big man now, how is Lord Wang, has he also been promoted, looking at your appearance, you should be older than the official of the county master."

Now few people mention Wang Li's name in front of Wang Tong, because Wang Li's status was low, no one remembered his existence, and he couldn't talk about any dealings.

"My father is dead

Hearing this, Bamond was stunned, and then reached out again to pat Wang Tong's shoulder. Sigh said:

"Don't be too sad, Lord Wang will be happy to see you now

"Master Bamond, in order to welcome your arrival, I have already prepared a banquet here, let's go together!!"

Watching Wang Tong and Bamund get into the carriage with a smile, the leaders of the cronies behind them all looked at each other, it was really rare for them to see Wang Tong like this for the first time.

On the one hand, I feel strange, but on the other hand, I feel that this young man has a little more intimacy",

"Don't walk around, go to the tent over there and take off your clothes, and then rinse them down with water, and there will be someone to change your clothes for!"

The flotilla from Canton stopped farther west in Kiba. The people on board came ashore, and Tong Ze shouted loudly, and under the cold eyes of the soldiers, these Portuguese from Macao entered the tent to change their clothes in a nervous manner.

Walking out naked, someone handed over a bucket, and there was strange-smelling water in the bucket, and rinsed it with this water, and then rinsed it with warm water, and then found a dry cloth and wiped it, and there were clean clothes prepared there, and after putting them on, they were taken to a makeshift fenced yard.

"If you go back to the adult, Lang Zhong has already invited you, and after these people have finished washing. They were treated one by one, and if they were sick, they were immediately given separate accommodations. ”

Listening to the report of the soldiers, Wang Tong nodded, this method is still said by Tang Shan, afraid that these foreigners will bring evil spirits, although superstitious, but the truth is a set of prevention and weight loss, Wang Tong naturally adopts it, fortunately, Bamond's body is strong, but there is no need to worry about any problems.

The weather was a little cold, the foreigners who were changing clothes and bathing on the shore were jumping in the cold, Wang Tong helped Yu Daxian to the Portuguese gunboat on the shore, the veteran must come over to see after hearing about it, and the Guangdong sailor who led the team on the side, Qianzong, introduced in a loud voice:

"The appearance of this gunboat is similar to that of our Canton ship, what is the name of the fan, but I don't know what it means."

The shape of this ship is not like the square head and square head of the lucky boat. The ship was pointed, three-masted, and covered with sail cables, which looked like cobwebs, and the wide ship docked not far away did not have so many cables.

The size of this three-masted Galen ship is the largest, but what attracts Wang Tong and Yu Daxian's attention the most is the more than a dozen windows on the hull on the shore side, and the window panels are all open, revealing the swarthy cannon muzzle inside, and the number of guns on this ship is about the same number as the gun batteries on the bank of the Haihe River."

Thank you
