The eldest grandson of Emperor Ming Dynasty!

Champa Port, Caobang.

As the first gang established in Champa, the Cao Gang is naturally the most influential among the many gangs.

The name of Long Dongqiang, the leader of the Cao Gang, is well known in Champa.

"Brother strong."

"Brother strong."

"Brother strong."

Long Dongqiang walked slowly into his restaurant, and everyone around him respectfully clasped their fists and saluted.

Long Dongqiang was very satisfied with this feeling.

Judging from his appearance, Long Dongqiang has regular facial features and a smile on his face, he doesn't look like a gang boss at all.

Only those who are familiar with him know that Long Dongqiang's main character is kind-hearted and cruel.

At the end of the month, it was the day when the accounts were checked in the middle of winter.

There are more than tens of thousands of people in the Cao Gang, and they all have to support their families, so accounts are naturally the most important thing.

Walking up to the third floor, a man greeted him quickly.

"Big brother."

The brothers of Dahu, some tall, thin and gloomy men, are the second younger brother of Long Dongqiang.

"Second brother, I am really wronged to let you, a scholar, follow me to this overseas place."

Every time he saw his second brother, Long Dongqiang felt a little guilty.

In the middle of winter, Chai Bai, the commander of Zhenhaiwei, was forced to worship as his adoptive father, and he was able to become the leader of the Cao Gang. Although he is actually no different from a puppet, at least he is still a celebrity.

The second brother, Long Chunsheng, is eight years younger than him, and has been smart since he was a child.

Long Dongqiang, whose parents died early, has been supporting his second brother Long Chunsheng to study.

Long Chunsheng did not disappoint his eldest brother. At the age of 24, he finally achieved the fame of a scholar.

Hearing what the elder brother said, Long Chunsheng shook his head and said: "Elder brother, don't worry about it. Nowadays, there are more and more students from various places in the five-year compulsory education in Daming. The reputation of a scholar may have been good before, but as time goes by, it will naturally become more and more serious." More and more."

"If there are too many people, the fame of this scholar is worthless. I know myself. It is difficult to be admitted to Juren. Maybe it will take most of my life's energy. Even at the age of knowing the destiny, I may not be able to do it got it."

"Besides, I heard from former classmates that the imperial court intends to lower the age of students. If you pass 35, you will not be able to achieve fame, and you will also not be able to enter official careers. Now following your eldest brother to Champa, it is not much more interesting than staying up late and studying hard."

However, Long Dongqiang sighed: "Second brother, why should you underestimate yourself? He was supposed to honor his ancestors, but now he has become a low-ranking person like his elder brother. How can this be compared?"

Long Chunsheng didn't want to talk about this with his elder brother, he already had his own ideas.

"Brother, the gang members on the pier came to report yesterday that an angel from the imperial court has descended." Long Chunsheng changed the subject.

This was something he cared about too.

Long Dongqiang frowned and said: "Angels have come, so it must have little to do with my Cao Gang."

Long Chunsheng shook his head: "The governor of the port is the biological father of Grandson Nafei. Now that the port is unstable, Nafei will definitely intercede with Grandson."

"I've ordered people to inquire, and the eunuch who came is under Taisun's command."

"My worry is that if the imperial court wants to take action against the current situation in Champa, it will not be good news for my Cao Gang."

Long Dongqiang couldn't help but said: "Second Brother's remarks are a little exaggerated. This city does not belong to Ming Dynasty, and no matter how chaotic it is, it is impossible to cause the imperial court to suppress it. The chaos before was not seen by the imperial court. Now it has stabilized. It’s even more impossible for the imperial court to take care of it.”

"I hope so." Long Chunsheng was just guessing in his own mind, and now there is no specific information, so he can only take one step at a time.

The gang's accounts are basically managed by Long Chunsheng. When Long Dongqiang was the puppet gang leader in Daming, the gang's accounts have nothing to do with him, and Zhenhaiwei sent someone to take care of them.

Long Dongqiang himself has never read any books. The so-called monthly audit is actually just a formality. If you really want to check the accounts, you just feel a little dizzy.

"Report!"

While the two brothers were chatting, a group of people hurried up to the third floor.

"What's the matter? Didn't I tell you that no one can disturb me when I'm checking the accounts?" Long Dongqiang scolded with a frown.

The gang members immediately replied: "Brother Qiang, it was the navy who sent someone to send a message, asking Brother Qiang to go to the navy camp to attend the meeting at noon tomorrow."

"What?" Long Dongqiang's complexion changed, and he recovered immediately.

"Thank you, you go down first."

"It's Brother Qiang."

After the person had left, Long Dongqiang said with some concern: "I'm afraid the visitor is not kind. The second brother's idea is probably correct. It is really possible that the imperial court will intervene in the Champa gang."

"It just arrived yesterday, are you going to use my Cao Gang today?"

"I'm afraid it's a Hongmen banquet."

Long Chunsheng looked a little gloomy, and after thinking for a while, he said, "Don't worry, big brother. I don't know the news for the time being. Why don't you inquire and see if other gangs are also invited by the navy."

Long Dongqiang immediately summoned the gang to inquire about the news.

If all the gang leaders were summoned, the situation would be different.

Obviously, the Cao Gang may be very famous in Champa, but in Jin Kaishan's view, these so-called gangs are nothing more than a group of local rogues and mobs.

The Champa government had nothing to do with them, but this did not mean that Jin Kaishan had any fear.

It's not on a level at all.

Those gangs who have intervened in the port, which ones don't want to honestly pay tribute to the navy in order to repay their safety.

In the naval barracks at the moment.

Jin Kaishan smiled and said to Li Youwei: "Eunuch, please don't worry, I have sent a wide notice to these larger gangs in Champa, asking their gang leaders to come to the barracks at noon tomorrow."

"It's a good time to take a look at these gang leaders at that time. If they are more knowledgeable, they can do something for the father-in-law."

Li Youwei nodded slightly: "Please trouble Commander Jin."

Jin Kaishan immediately said: "Don't bother, don't bother, it is our duty to serve the grandson."

"It's just that I don't know when the manager of the chamber of commerce will come, so please ask my father-in-law to introduce one or two."

From Li Youwei, Jin Kaishan learned about the Daming Ocean Trading Chamber of Commerce.

Jin Kaishan has heard of this chamber of commerce for a long time, but there are many similar chambers of commerce, such as Ming Dynasty, Champa, and Wan Guo.

So I didn't care about it.

Now knowing that Taisun is behind the Ocean Trade Chamber of Commerce, this is naturally completely different.

A few days ago, the naval fleet headed to Malacca stopped at the port for supplies.

Sailor family.

Besides the banquet, Jin Kaishan also got some news from Gan Ping.

I learned that Taisun personally arrived at Guangzhou Mansion.

From the meaning revealed by Li Youwei's words, how can he not understand the importance Taisun attaches to the Daming Ocean Trading Chamber of Commerce.

If he had known that the Oceanic Trade Chamber of Commerce was so powerful, he would definitely spare no effort to help.

According to the rules of the Ming army, under normal circumstances, the commander's area of ​​office will be rotated every five years.

Whether you can be re-elected or not depends on what you see above.

Unless appointed by His Majesty or Taisun personally, the consecutive term shall not exceed three, that is, 15 years.

Champa port here.

At the beginning, the excuse that the soldiers were lost and forced to stay, everyone knew that it was just a cover, and now they have been stationed in a legitimate manner.

This is the commander of the navy, but there is a huge vacancy. Jin Kaishan has already heard from Gan Ping, and I don't know how many commanders in the navy envy him.

They are all working hard and want to come to the port of Champa with a five-year rotation charter.

Jinkaishan has been the Champa of Hongwu for 29 years. According to the rules, he will face the problem of a change of office in Hongwu's 34th year.

It has been Hongwu's 32 years now, and there are less than two years left.

You must know that whether it is the navy or other guards, they are basically far away from the bustling city.

And here in Champa, the port is the most prosperous place in the whole Champa, much worse than the capital of Ming Dynasty, but what kind of place is the capital, it is unique in the whole world.

At least [-]% of the counties are not comparable to the port of Champa.

The most important thing is that there is enough oil and water here.

And overseas, they will not violate the laws of Ming Dynasty, which is the least enviable.

If the past five years have not made any contributions and received special attention, then it is obviously very likely that Jin Kaishan will leave when the new term comes.

In terms of relationship background, there are not too many people in the navy who have backgrounds.

Therefore, Jin Kaishan's best opportunity is to assist Li Youwei to do well with the affairs handled by his grandson, and to do it beautifully so that his grandson is satisfied.

Only in this way can we continue to stay here.

Li Youwei is very satisfied with Jin Kaishan, he feels respected here, so he is willing to reveal some news to Jin Kaishan.

"I'll come over in the evening, and then you'll have to give him a good reception, don't be negligent."

"The steward of Zhancheng is not a small person, do you think he is some kind of merchant?"

"Before that, he was the Secretary Zuobu Political Envoy of Guangdong Chengxuan."

"I made some mistakes, my grandson cherished the talent, so I arranged to be the steward of the Champa Chamber of Commerce."

Jin Kaishan exclaimed: "Master Guan!"

The naval establishment of the Ming Dynasty is also a guard system, which originated from the Chaohu Navy.

Now the navy has developed rapidly with the support of Taisun, and naval guards have begun to be established along the coast.

The three most famous navy are Guangdong Navy, Fujian Navy, and Zhejiang Navy.

The training of these naval forces along the coast naturally extended from the Chaohu Navy. Jin Kaishan, as one of the early generals of the Chaohu Navy, naturally had to go to various places for training.

The position of his commander is also derived from this.

He has spent quite a lot of time in Guangdong, so of course he knows that Guan Xianghai is the Secretary of the Zuobu Political Envoy of Guangdong Proclamation.

Although the military and government are separated and the army is no longer controlled by the local government, there are still places to deal with.

Li Youwei said with a smile, "You can just know him, but he has changed his name to Guan Zhongming, you have to keep that in mind."

Jin Kaishan nodded awkwardly.

He knew Lord Guan, but Lord Guan didn't know him, he was the Minister of Borderlands.

The military system of the navy is similar to that of the guard.

It is mainly divided into Du, Wei, and Qianhusuo.

When Jin Kaishan was in Guangdong, he was the Commander of the Guard Commander, and only the Commander of the Guangdong Navy was able to deal with Guan Xianghai.

Don't look at it as if it's just one level behind, but it's actually a world of difference in status.

Those who can take up the post of command envoy are usually marquises or earls who have contributed to the founding of the country.

Jin Kaishan was able to serve as the commander of the navy because of the expansion of the navy now. The gold content here is completely different.

At this time, a soldier came to report.

It is said that outside the barracks there is the manager of the Daming Ocean Trade Chamber of Commerce seeking an interview.

"Please hurry up." Jin Kaishan said hastily.

outside the barracks.

Guan Xianghai looked calm, but in fact he was a little anxious.

It has been developing in Champa for several months, but it has not even built a stronghold. To some extent, it is considered a disadvantage.

In fact, he can't be blamed for this. When he brought people here, it happened to coincide with the Champa gang war.

Although there are hundreds of guards here in the chamber of commerce who all have guns, but the chamber of commerce is here to do business, not to grab territory.

In such chaos, Guan Xianghai could only wait for the gang war here to end.

Then the territory of the gang was roughly divided.

But this also brought Guan Xianghai a lot of trouble.

The Daming Ocean Trade Chamber of Commerce can't act in the name of the grandson, so naturally no one will give face.

If you want to do business, you have to pay protection fees to the gang.

The Chamber of Commerce under Taisun's command will pay protection fees to the Champa gang. Isn't it a joke to spread the word?

In desperation, Guan Xianghai had no choice but to report the matter of Zhancheng to his grandson.

Only then did Li Youwei arrive.

"Master Jin, please go in." The soldier on duty reported.

Guan Xianghai cupped his hands in thanks, and followed the soldiers into the barracks.

His current status is just a merchant, so naturally he won't receive much courtesy.

Jin Kaishan and Li Youwei are not suitable to come out to meet him.

After entering the big tent, Jin Kaishan hurriedly got up to greet him: "I have lost my way, please forgive me, Mr. Guan."

Guan Xianghai quickly returned the gift: "Now that Guan is a businessman, he should not be called by Commander Jin in the name of an adult, just call him a supervisor."

Then he greeted Li Youwei: "I have met Eunuch Li."

As the eunuch of Kunning Palace, Li Youwei naturally didn't need to be so polite, he got up from his position and bowed to Guan Xianghai: "Guan Guan is polite."

Jin Kaishan did not dare to neglect.

Don't think that in this big tent, he has the highest rank and status.

In fact, Li Youwei was an eunuch close to the grandson, and although Guan Xianghai had lost his official position, he still belonged directly to the grandson, so he couldn't afford to offend either of them.

After taking their seats, the three of them began to chat.

The main one is that Guan Xianghai talked about some difficult things he encountered in Champa, especially the gang.

Jin Kaishan immediately expressed that he would do his best to assist, please rest assured Guan Guan.

Let's work together to complete the orders given by the grandson.

The navy barracks chatted happily here, but in the Champa gang, it can be said that there was a big wave of joy.

Jin Kaishan's notice was not only passed on to the Cao Gang, but to more than a dozen large gangs including the Cao Gang.

For these large gangs, the smallest size of the gang is more than 5000 people, and the gang leaders are all members of the Ming Dynasty, and the gangs that are not under the jurisdiction of the Ming Dynasty have not received orders.

Facing the navy's order, all the gang leaders felt their scalps go numb and were in a dilemma.

No one knew what the Daming Navy meant here, but everyone agreed that this must not be a good thing.

I didn't take care of it when it was the most chaotic, but now I'm taking care of it again.

Many helpers turned their attention to the three major gangs.

They are also the three most powerful gangs of the Ming people.

Among them, Caobang is naturally one.

There are also Sanhetang and Qingbang.

Caobang's main business is naturally the old bank's wharf.

For example, the porters on the port wharf are members of the Cao Gang, and if they do not join the Cao Gang, they cannot carry goods on the wharf.

No matter which country's maritime merchants want to do business in Champa, they have to pay a protection fee.

Otherwise, no one will move the goods, and there is no place to reason if the goods are smashed.

Sanhetang mainly operates casinos.

In places where Champa is a little more prosperous, there are almost all casinos opened by Sanhetang, and there is no need to say much about the huge profits here.

The Qinggang is not the Qinggang of later generations.

The youths of Champa Youth Gang are the youths of brothels.

In addition to running the brothel business, the Green Gang is also currently the largest gang in Champa for people trading.
