You have to follow the old rules, and you will add more to the 50 monthly passes, please everyone!

The blue sea and blue sky, a long slip of more than 100 sailboats cut the waves, drawing a white line.

The fleet was traveling along the coastline of the Liaodong Peninsula and was destined for the port of Haijin Town in the Bohai Bay.

Haijin Town, part of the later Tianjin city, is located on the south bank of the Haihe River, a Haikou trading port under the direct administration of Kublai Khan, and a hub of trade between Yanjing and Goryeo. Now it has become the place where Kublai Khan's Mongolian naval army was stationed.

The fleet that was rushing to Haijin Town was the remnants of Pu Shougeng's fleet. As many as 600 warships have been scattered, and only about 100 are left, and they are still following Pu Shougeng. Some of these ships originally belonged to the Pu family. There are also others, who are bewitched by Pu Shougeng and Liu Xiaoyuan's rhetoric, and want to go to the Mongols to fight for a rich future.

A few days ago, Kublai Khan's will was finally sent to Goryeo, and Pu Shou Geng was appointed as the state envoy Tongzhi, and also the capital transfer envoy, so that Haijin Navy 10,000 households.

Of course, this official position is very high, about the later Deputy Minister of Finance, Minister of Communications, and Commander of the North Sea Fleet.

However, there was no trace of joy in Pu Shougeng's heart, Kublai Khan's state envoy, needless to say, knew that it was a mess. Most of the land accounts in the northern Han land are either under the jurisdiction of the Han marquis, or they are distributed to the host kings, and there are not many under the direct jurisdiction of Kublai Khan, so how much ** wealth can be squeezed from it? As for all the transshipment envoys...... Think about the ongoing Mongolian civil war to know what kind of drudgery this is. And the Haijin Navy is actually an empty name. Except for the more than 100 warships brought by Pu Shougeng, Kublai Khan did not have a single boat to provide. As for the military expenses for raising soldiers. It was obtained from the tax revenue of the commercial port of Haijin Town, and the commercial port of Haijin Town was naturally handed over to Pu Shougeng for management.

It's just that Goryeo is about to fall into a big war. What else is there to trade? Haijin Town, which is still prosperous at the moment, is afraid that it will be a depression in the blink of an eye.

But even if Chen Dexing continued to trade between Goryeo and Yanjing, how could this Cheongju be compared with Quanzhou?

The cabin is gently rocking, this ship is the Great God, the cabin is very spacious, well ventilated, and the windows are also inlaid with glass from Venice, through which you can enjoy the scenery of the sea.

Pu Shougeng sat at the wooden table, closed his eyes and rested. pondering the future of the Haijin Navy and himself, but the scene of Quanzhou always appeared in his mind. I don't know what happened in Quanzhou? Who are the houses, businesses, and wharves that the Pu family has run in Quanzhou for two generations now?

It is impossible to keep it, no matter how many friends Isstark has in the officialdom, he will not jump out to protect the Pu family at this time...... Because of the sins of the Pu family, it was not intercepted at sea that Chen Dexing was intercepted at all, but the family property itself, which amounted to tens of millions of yuan!

As long as the property of the Pu family is swallowed, the poor court in Lin'an will be able to live a relaxed life for a few years. If there was no corresponding maritime force, the Pu family would have been eaten and wiped out long ago.

"Damn Chen Dexing. Damned infidels, you will go to Hellfire, and you will be tormented by fire forever! ”

Pu Shougeng gritted his teeth and cursed Chen Dexing hatefully, and Chen Dexing was also sitting on the boat to the sandbank at the moment. and Zhao Fu, Deng Mingchao and Huang Zhishen's father Huang Shi'an, the three of them gathered in a circle, discussing how to divide the Pu family's industry.

"Will the Lord. The Pu family is a piece of fat, and in the past, it was because the Pu family had force at sea that no one dared to touch them. Now this sea is no longer the Pu family. Once the situation has been ascertained by all parties, it is time to talk about it. We can't miss it! ”

It was Deng Mingchao who spoke, he was a famous man in Changguo, and he lived near Dinghai Commercial Port. It is all too clear that the wealth of the maritime merchants, as well as the covetousness of the court officials, is very clear.

Zhao Fu shook his head: "There must be a lot of people staring at the Pu family's industry, I'm afraid it's hard for us to speak, right?" After all, we don't have any force in Fujian! ”

"I don't want the Pu family's real estate, fields, shops and all kinds of property on the shore, I only need Penghu and Tamsui to occupy a small island along the coast of Guangnan East Road, and I will pay a tax on merchant ships entering and leaving Quanzhou, Mingzhou, and Guangzhou in the future."

Chen Dexing said his wishful thinking. The money from the sea trade is still too slow, and he is not a businessman, so he can't do business, so it is better to directly guard the major trade ports in the Southern Song Dynasty and draw road tax!

Occupying Penghu, which is controlled by Pujia, and Tamsui City, which was developed by the Fujian City Shipping Division, Chen Dexing held the Taiwan Strait. Naturally, you can ask for money from passing merchant ships -- it's a bit like the underworld collecting protection money! In addition, he also wants to get an island near Guangzhou, Hong Kong can also be, and Macau is also good. In short, just guard the Pearl River Estuary and collect money.

"There are weapons and dead soldiers on the ships, and this money is not collected if you want to." Huang Shi'an shook his head and reminded.

Maritime merchants are not only armed forces of the Pu family, in this era, as long as they are maritime merchants, they can fight! In a sense, Zhu Yuanzhang's ban on the sea is also to nip this kind of merchant armed in the bud.

"I know that I will station a fleet on the islands off the coast of Penghu and Guangdong!" Chen Dexing patted the table, "Send gunboats!" It was first converted from captured spinnakers, each equipped with 12 3-inch bronze cannons. If you don't want to pay your taxes, then blow them to pieces and pull them down! ”

The spinnale of the Pu family was built sturdy and large enough to carry cannons. Moreover, this kind of ship was originally used to run the ocean, and its seaworthiness was much better than Chen Dexing's galleys. And the speed of the spinnale is also faster than that of the Chinese Fu boat. After the cannon was loaded, it was the best fast cruiser of this era.

Huang Shi'an shook his head: "These spinnales are difficult to control, and all the crew members are people who believe in the Heavenly Fangjiao, and they will not hand over their skills at sea to the Han people." ”

"I, let Zhang Jiu solve this, he is the most reasonable, and he will definitely be able to convince those people."

There were many "those people", and the captured Fan people were only a part of them, and there were also many Han boat bandits and pirates, some of whom were captured at sea, and some of whom drifted to Jeju Island by themselves and were then captured by the Tran Dek Heung people. There are also more than 1,000 people who took refuge in Jeju under the leadership of a boat bandit leader named Zhou Xiaoqi. All together, there are almost 10,000 people.

Before Chen Dexing left Jeju Prefecture, he issued an order to set up a concentration camp, which was directly managed by the Dayi Division, and all prisoners of war were sent to the concentration camp for ideological reform. After the transformation is completed, the young and strong among these people will join the Northern Expeditionary Army.

Of course, in the process of transformation, they have to engage in glorious labor and construction. And Zhang Jiu, who is Zhang Hongfan, is now also the commander of the Jeju Island concentration camp......

Huang Shi'an thought for a while and nodded: "With gunboats here, collecting taxes will not be a problem after all." But the Pu family is a hundred-legged insect, so they are afraid of death and do not stiffen. If they retreat to Nanban and rely on the island to rob passing merchant ships, it will still be very troublesome. ”

Chen Dexing sneered slightly. This matter, in fact, is not troublesome at all, as long as you follow into Nanfan, level the three Buddhas, and occupy Java Island, isn't everything appropriate?

……

"Pingzhang Gong, an urgent report from the Zhejiang Coastal Preparation Division!"

Weng Yinglong strode into Jia Yidao's capital room and respectfully handed over the documents he had just received.

Hearing his words, the bodies of the two people who were playing in the capital room of the political hall moved. Jia Rudao hurriedly threw down the chess pieces and glanced at Chen Huaiqing, who was playing chess with him opposite. I saw that Chen Huaiqing's face remained unchanged, and he just looked at himself with a smile.

"What's the matter?" Jia Rudao already understood seven or eight points in his heart. Chen Dexing must have occupied the Jeju Mansion of Goryeo!

"Pingzhanggong, Zhejiang Coastal Preparation Division reported that the naval battle that took place in the Dinghai Sea a few days ago has been determined to be a complete victory for the Northern Expeditionary Army! Thirteen days ago, the Northern Expeditionary Army had occupied Jeju in Goryeo. ”

Jia Rudao glanced at Chen Huaiqing and asked tentatively: "Quanzhou Pujia...... It's over? ”

"It's just a dish that can't be finished," Chen Huaiqing played with a chess piece and asked in a low voice, "Pingzhanggong, do you want to eat?" ”

Jia Rudao smiled: "Eat!" How can you not eat it? Quanzhou Pujia, after eating them, the treasury of the household department is full. ”

He looked at Chen Huaiqing fixedly: "How is it?" Would you like to have some too? ”

Chen Huaiqing sneered: "How can I have this blessing? How to eat this dish of the Pu family, it's not something I can calculate! ”

Jia Yidao's face was a little gloomy: "What, Ling Lang still wants to stretch out his hand to Quanzhou?" ”

"I don't know about that." Chen Huaiqing looked at Jia Rudao with a smile, "I only know that without my son's warship, no one can bite this dish of the Pu family!" ”

"Quanzhou can't let Ling Lang in!" Jia Rudao shook his head violently.

Chen Huaiqing smiled: "Then I have to go to Wu'er and tell me, he will return to Shazhou in a few days, why don't you send Liao Qunyu to go with you?" ”

Jia Rudao thought for a while and nodded: "Okay!" But first...... Quanzhou can't let the Northern Expeditionary Army in any case! ”

"What about the other states?"

"No, as long as it is a state or county directly under the jurisdiction of the imperial court, the Northern Expeditionary Army cannot enter!" Jia seems to be categorical.

Chen Huaiqing smiled and nodded: "Then what about the wedding of Wu'er and the princess?" Can the Imperial Court send a big man to Saga? ”

"This can be discussed," Jia Rudao nodded, "The official family can also prepare another congratulatory gift...... The title of the princess can also be added, and Taishang means the princess of the Zhou Kingdom and the Han Kingdom. ”

"What about the marriage of Wu'er Defang and the daughter of the prince of Pingzhang?" Chen Huaiqing's tone was calm.

"Do it, do it immediately!" Jia Rudao gritted his teeth, his niece and Chen Defang's family affair was booked before the Lin'an Change. However, after the Lin'an change, the Chen family is a traitor. Marrying a traitor is really a bit of a dilemma, so Jia Rudao has been dragging this matter, but now he has to bite the bullet for the sake of the Pu family's dish. (To be continued......) R1292
