Chapter 1215: Zheng Laohai
According to people who are familiar with the Li family's gang, this Li Siming is the son of the dragon head, this Li Simin is not born as a righteous son, or it may be the son and nephew of the uncle's family.
The two of them were sent to the brigade headquarters of the First Regiment of the Second Brigade to meet with Shi Manqiang, Shi Manqiang and Ye Wenwen received these two people together, the news has been sent out quickly, Geng Mancang, who is in charge of trade, and Cheng Dahu, who is in charge of internal guards, will also get a copy, and will hurry over.
Li Siming just couldn't help crying, and Li Simin kept scolding, only scolding the man surnamed Zheng who usually called his brother and brother and thought it was a family, but he didn't expect that he harbored evil intentions and suddenly made a move on the dragon's head, and he didn't expect that those shipowners and others who had received the great favor of the Li family would also turn their faces and deny people at such a time.
Shi Manqiang has always been able to suppress his temperament, but Ye Wenwen used the means of interrogation in the yamen, which was both comforting and polite, but in fact, he was using the other party's words, these two people really couldn't stop such old and spicy methods, and they said everything.
The Li family gang has its own territory and foundation in Fujian and the Wa State Pinghu, and the local government in Fujian does not dare to take care of it at all, they are the princes of the seaside, and on the side of the Wa State Hirado, although there is a local samurai name of the Wa State, but this daimyo is a superior ship owner status in front of the Li family gang, and it is usually submissive, in fact, without the support of the Li family gang, this daimyo has long been destroyed by other daimyo.
Li Dan, the leader of the big gang, has his own private house in Hirado, married the daughter of the Japanese warrior family as a concubine, and arranged his eldest son Li Siming here, also preparing for the fact that if he was exterminated by the Ming government, there would be a place for him in this Japanese country, thinking that this side was safe, but he didn't expect that this side would become a dangerous place of death.
Many of the ships of the big gang are docked to rest and prepare for the New Year, this year Li Dan spent time in this Hirado as usual, here looks a group of jubilant, all the leaders and boat owners are gathered, drinking and feasting all day long, this is a rare time in the year when the sea owners can continue to rest, let go of the pleasure, everyone will not let go of this happiness.
Li Dan feasted on the most important righteous brothers and sons, these people all followed the surname Li, but originally the surname Zheng, the reason why he took refuge in the past, was that he couldn't fight at the beginning, and could only be annexed, but after coming over, he did things seriously, fought for righteousness, and was respected and optimistic from top to bottom, and his status was getting higher and higher, and now he is the core of the top of the gang.
When he came back after the banquet, in the middle of the night, Li Dan suddenly had abdominal pain, and the old fur dog who had experienced life and death naturally did not feel that he had eaten a bad stomach, and immediately called out to his own children, asking them to get on the boat and escape immediately, and said that you can't take revenge, don't think about revenge, go to the inland to find a strong man who can take refuge and settle down, and spend the rest of his life richly.
The Li family guarded a lot in the house of Hirado, including the warriors recruited from Fujian and Guangdong, and the samurai and ronin of the Wa Kingdom, but the other party had been planning for a long time, and they faced the battle in a hurry.
That Li Dan has been a dragon leader for many years, and has his own loyal guards, it is these people who escort Li Siming all the way out, and the other people in the mansion can no longer take care of it, the Daming Sea Lord is very important in Pingdo, Li Dan and other top leaders are fighting in the fire, and the Pinghu City with a population of tens of thousands is in chaos, and thanks to this chaos, Li Simin and they can protect Li Siming and escape.
Such a powerful man on the sea knows that life and death are unpredictable and every step is dangerous, so they will arrange the back road in advance, but no one expected that the Zheng family of their cronies would suddenly rebel, and even the back road was not very reliable, but staying in Hirado was just a death, and the only way to survive was to go to the port and get on the ship.
To say that the Zheng family's plans and actions are too secretive, the director zhì their own strength did not react for a while, watching the mansion where Li Dan lived on fire, many Zheng family forces rushed up to save people and guard, and the port side didn't even know what was going on, so that the remnants of the Li family who rushed out of the killing could sail out of the port.
There are also fights on the ship, Li Dan has been the leader for a long time, even if the forces under the command of the Zheng family are also grateful, many people will temporarily turn against the water, blocking the Zheng family to let Li Siming and Li Simin leave, the same is true for the chase at sea, several times about to be caught up, several times to jump the gang to fight, it is said that the fight on the sea, once it is approached by the superior fleet, the jump gang fights, it is nine deaths and one life.
Because the Zheng family was too secretive, Li Dan was caught off guard, but because it was too secretive, the director couldn't even mobilize the Zheng family himself, and even the Zheng family's own forces had many people who couldn't figure it out, which left countless holes for the remnants of the Li family's escape, and even Li Simin dared to lead the fleet around Hirado, constantly gathering strength, and planning to counterattack.
But as time went by, the Zheng family quickly mobilized their forces, the remnants of the Li family did not say that it was a counteroffensive, and even it became difficult to escape, after losing dozens of ships in two naval battles and more than 2,000 people, Li Simin decided to escape, but the vast sea, from the Japanese Kingdom to Fujian, Guangdong and Nanyang, this is the sphere of influence of the Li family's big gang, and it is also the place where the Zheng family can control zhì, this Zheng family is the indigenous of Anping, Fujian, and the Li family does not dare to return to Fujian, for fear that someone will infiltrate and rebel over there.
Thinking about it, that is, this Haizhou port can go, there is no government and army here, and there are strong enough strengths to shelter, there were several tragic battles on the way to escape, fortunately, the rest of the Li family are die-hard characters, and they would rather die together than beg for mercy.
Haizhou Port is not a secret to everyone in the Li family's gang, and the two sides have not distanced themselves from each other, and the other party will definitely chase here.
Hearing Li Siming and Li Simin's narration, Shi Manqiang and Ye Wenwen looked at each other, and Ye Wenwen said with a smile: "You can rest here with peace of mind, you can't take care of it at sea, and no one can move you in this Huai'an North District!" ”
It is said that having this promise is enough to reassure, but Li Siming and Li Simin always want to borrow troops to take revenge after seeing Xuzhou's power in Haizhou Port, they know that there are shipyards here, there are enough large timber for shipbuilding, and they can also recruit sailors and seamen, and there is no shortage of weapons and the like, and then everyone knows that this sea trade is profitable, and you can make enough money by running a few trips to business.
However, Shi Manqiang and Ye Wenwen only smiled at this request and said that they couldn't be the masters, and then let them rest, although Li Siming and Li Simin were helpless, they could only obey each other's arrangements.
When the banquet was over, Shi Manqiang and Ye Wenwen came out, Ye Wenwen just said: "This new sea leader already has great power and financial resources, and they may not agree to all the conditions that the Li family's big gang agreed to in the past, and they will have to negotiate again if they don't do it, but the remnants of the Li family can only rely on us." ”
Shi Manqiang nodded, Ye Wenwen understood what he meant, now there are two choices, one is to hand over this batch of remnants in exchange for friendship with the new maritime gang, but if you want to develop your fleet and sea power, I am afraid you have to start again, and the other is to take in the remnants of the Li family, but this will inevitably conflict with this Zheng family, and it will affect the trade of this Haizhou port, and every choice will have gains and losses, and it is too late to ask Zhao Jin to make a decision, Shi Manqiang must decide for himself, once he has responsibility, Shi Manqiang and the regimental directors of the Huai'an North District were all responsible.
The two took a few steps forward in the night, and Shi Manqiang said in a muffled voice: "Big brother once said that other people's belong to others, and it is most reassuring to have oneself, and we have to stay with these people in the Li family!" ”
In addition to inspecting the defense of Haizhou Port, he also used the horsemen and volunteers and even the official cavalry that could be mobilized near the port in Huai'an North District, in addition to the team responsible for maneuvering in the port, he also had to go to the north and south coasts of Haizhou Port to see if the other party would land there, of course, if the enemy dared to come by land, it would be his own death.
Early the next morning, Shi Manqiang ate half of breakfast, and the family came to report the news, saying that there was a fleet outside the port, and it was also a fleet with the Li family's flag, more than 30 large and small ships, according to the rules, such ships with the flag can directly enter the port, but after yesterday's vigilance, before the ship approached, the artillery on the battery first fired a warning, and then a sampan went over to lead the way, and warned by the way.
The roar of artillery has already explained the attitude of the Haizhou port side, and the batteries in the port also made the newcomer fleet dispel unrealistic thoughts, they anchored outside the port and stopped the ship, and then assigned a ship to say that it was going to enter the port to talk to someone who can call the shots.
"Master Li wants to see Li Siming and Li Simin, saying that he is just talking, and he will not do anything." Jia Ding said so in return.
Shi Manqiang groaned, and directly agreed, and then arranged for the family members to search both parties, no one was allowed to enter with weapons, and the entourage could not follow, the family members of Zhao Ziying would monitor each other when they met, Shi Manqiang recognized a reason, only Zhao Ziying can call the shots on the ground in Xuzhou, and others are not qualified to mess around, he is not afraid of offending anyone or being rude, Shi Manqiang only listens to Zhao Jin's orders.
