Movie: Get Alpha Dog at the start

Chapter 159 Marquis of Jinghai (Ask for a monthly ticket!!!)

The moon is dark and the wind is high at night, killing people and setting fires.

The waves beat on the beach again and again, and under the cover of night, small boats were lowered from several giant ships of [-] materials, and five or six soldiers with terrified faces were sitting on each boat.

They rowed their paddles and quickly approached the shore with the help of the waves.

Turning over and disembarking, he carried small boats and hid in the grass beside him. The rows of footprints were washed away by the waves and disappeared.

Cui Hao hid the boat, glanced at the soldiers gathered around him, and made a stealth gesture.

A group of people walked slowly along the edge of the grass. Along the way, there were often warriors of the Fujiwara clan patrolling above their heads.

But no one would have thought that a group of killing gods had quietly approached just under the soil slope under their feet.

"..."

The unlucky samurai fan came out to pee with his eyes wide open, and was dragged into the grass in an instant. He didn't even have time to let out a scream before he received his lunch box.

Maybe he will give himself a piece of advice before he dies, don't defecate anywhere.

Cui Hao wiped off the blood with a dagger under his arm, and led the team to move forward. Their goal was not to capture any fortress, but to wipe out the Fujiwara clan's secret post on the coastline without anyone noticing it. .

In the dense forest, there was a rustling sound, and a dozen corpses were thrown into the grass where no one knew.

"The lieutenant has searched everything within a three-mile radius, and not a single mosquito has flown out," a soldier reported triumphantly.

Cui Hao nodded: "Go and send a signal to the general."

A small boat returned to the giant ship. After listening to his report, Qin Hao waved the flag in his hand, and the five giant ships slowly sailed towards the shore like giant beasts in the deep sea.

"kill!"

As the samurai of the Fujiwara family discovered that there was an enemy invasion, the original night attack directly turned into a charge with open swords and spears.

I have to admit that the warriors in Fusang are still very brave, and they often encounter situations where three or five warriors face Qin Hao's brigade and rush to kill them.

Of course, this kind of behavior is actually very stupid, because before they have time to get close, they have already been pierced by several spears.

In terms of military literacy, the elites of the Song Dynasty were also very capable of fighting. The reason why they often lost battles was that they were deceived by a group of civil officials who did not understand military affairs. courage.

In order to keep the Iwami Silver Mine, Zhao Zongquan gave Qin Hao 3000 people who were all elite frontier soldiers who had just changed defenses. Under proper command, facing the Fujiwara samurai with basically zero military literacy was like chopping melons and vegetables.

It wasn't until the fortress of the Fujiwara clan's headquarters that the advancing speed began to slow down. After losing a large number of samurai, the Fujiwara clan finally organized a decent resistance.

It was just a bit decent, half an hour later, the outer wall of the fortress of the Fujiwara Clan headquarters was cleared, the gate was captured, Qin Hao stabbed a breathing warrior in the heart with a long knife, and the soldiers under his command were also shocked. Learn from everything and make up for these samurai.

These are the core samurai members of the Fujiwara Clan. They have fought to the end without surrendering. For them who do not need any humanitarian assistance, it is the best choice to send them on their way.

Kindness to the enemy on the battlefield is cruelty to oneself.

In a palace, the current Patriarch of the Fujiwara Clan, Fujiwara shouted in a sad and angry tone.

"You people from the Song Dynasty mined silver mines on our territory, plundered our wealth, and killed our people. Aren't you afraid of retribution?"

Qin Hao raised his long knife and said in a cold voice: "Is it the king's land in the whole world? Fusang is a vassal of our country, and yours is also ours. Winners and losers, why bother barking there!"

"Kill, leave none!"

Although the only remaining samurai of the Fujiwara clan were brave and fearless, they were completely powerless in the face of absolute strength, and were wiped out in less than a quarter of an hour.

Only the family master, Fujiwara, gathered these dozen or so samurai as the last resistance, and behind them were the immediate family members of the Fujiwara clan.

Fujiwarano stared at Qin Hao with grief and indignation: "You Song Dynasty people are all devils!"

Qin Hao wiped the mixture of blood and sweat on his cheeks, and a stench came to his nostrils, but he smiled: "No, you are the ones, and we are responsible for sending you to hell."

"Puff~~~" The spear pierced the body, and there was a muffled sound, and Fujiwarano and others fell into a pool of blood without any power to fight back.

"General, what should they do?" Cui Hao asked, pointing to the remaining women and children. All the adult men of the Fujiwara Clan died in the battle just now, and only these women and children were left.

Qin Hao was hesitating for a while, when suddenly one of the seven or eight-year-old boys shouted: "One day I will kill you and avenge Fujiwara!"

"Have you seen the hatred in their eyes? This is a nation that cannot be influenced, and physical supernatural power is more suitable for them." Qin Hao gave Cui Hao a cruel smile.

"promise!"

"Ah~~~" After screaming, the surname Fujiwara completely disappeared in the long history of Fusang!

"Search every secret room that may be hidden here, and don't let any member of the Fujiwara clan go!" Qin Hao ordered Cui Hao to clean the battlefield.

"promise!"

Sure enough, in some of the secret rooms and cellars of the Fujiwara clan, there are still quite a few members of the Fujiwara clan hiding. When they saw the soldiers of the Song Army, their first reaction was to pick up the weapons around them and resist, wounding a few soldiers, and then they stopped. Some people are kind to them, and those who take up arms on the battlefield are enemies!

After a night of killing, dawn broke, the golden crow rose eastward, and a strong bloody smell was very pungent.

And Qin Hao's soldiers were happily carrying the treasures that the Fujiwara family had looted over the years to the ship, and they also had a share of it.

Soon, the news that the Fujiwara Clan was wiped out spread throughout Fusang, and the daimyo lords in various regions were dumbfounded. The most powerful force in Fusang, which they regarded as a scourge, was wiped out so easily?
After finding out that Qin Hao was responsible for the destruction of the Fujiwara Clan, a group of famous lords came to visit with gifts.

But this time Qin Hao changed to a kind face, chatted happily with them, and gave these big names a long-awaited honor.

Noble surname, every daimyo who brought a gift was given a noble surname by Qin Hao.

Feudal society in any region has its own theory of bloodlines. The Emperor Zhou in the Western Zhou Dynasty had the most noble bloodline, and the other royal families all had the bloodline of Emperor Zhou.

The Mongolian tribes have also always admired the blood of the golden family, and the nobles on the European continent are even more proud of their Germanic blood.

Originally, in Fusang, only the emperor had the right to bestow aristocratic surnames. Unfortunately, during the shogunate era, the emperor had no rights and was just a puppet. No one listened to him at all.

At this time, Qin Hao, as the most powerful military force in this island country, also represents Song Dynasty, the Suzerain of Fusang, so he can naturally exercise this right on his behalf.

Not only that, while Qin Hao bestowed noble surnames on these daimyo lords, he also bestowed noble surnames on their warriors.

Fusang's surnames are rather scribbled, something like: Shimada, Yamamoto, Sakai, which sounds very low.

But the surnames Qin Hao bestowed on them are much more noble: Baili, Huyan, Dongguo, Gongyi, Liangqiu. All of them can be found in ancient books, so that they can brag in the future.

Of course, Qin Hao didn't do this because he had nothing to do. The main purpose was to differentiate these daimyos from warriors. Everyone also has noble surnames. Why should I listen to your orders?
Fusang has a large population, and Qin Hao's 3000 people alone can't kill them all. Moreover, if they are forced to unite, it will be enough for Qin Hao to have a headache, so it is more in Qin Hao's interest to let them fight on their own.

When the hatred accumulates to a certain level, there will be no possibility of reconciliation. Qin Hao wants to see Fusang in a state of disunity.

Sure enough, soon some of the daimyo's samurai began to want to stand on their own. Some successfully got rid of the shackles of the previous daimyo, some were killed by the daimyo, and some directly succeeded in usurping the throne. Fuso began to truly enter the era of melee.

During this period of time, Qin Hao didn't just focus on such an island as Fusang. The offshore countries such as Siam, Java, and Borneo were all Qin Hao's goals.

Compared with the extremely poor land cultivated in inland cities, the first generation of countries in Southeast Asia is sparsely populated and has a unique climate advantage. The production of various spices and rice is extremely rich. The local indigenous people do not know how to cultivate and are very lazy. Many Spice rice is not picked until it rots in the ground, which is simply wasteful.

What Qin Hao has to do is to organize a fleet to transport these things back. Of course, Qin Hao has no sailing experience, and he doesn't know the sailing route, monsoon time, etc. The best way is to find cooperation with those sea merchants.

As the only maritime force in the Song Dynasty, coupled with Qin Hao's status as the son of the Hou family and the status of the fourth-rank general Xuanwei, the maritime merchants are naturally too late to curry favor.

And with the protection of their own sea power, sea merchants no longer need to be afraid of encountering those pirates or extortion by local aboriginal lords, and are willing to cooperate with Qin Hao.

With the help of these sea merchants, Qin Hao also participated in the first ocean voyage. Except for encountering a storm on the way, everything was safe and sound. The natives from all over the world faced such a fleet with huge armed forces. , I don't have any unruly thoughts at all, it's fine if people don't rob you.

The first cooperation, just arrived in Siam (Thailand), the goods really couldn't fit, so we had to return.

The gems and gold harvested in Chenla (Cambodia) alone filled three boats, and the rest were filled with ivory, spices and rice seeds.

Ship after ship of supplies was transported to Bianjing. Zhao Zongquan was overjoyed and promoted Qin Hao again with a big wave of his hand. Although he was granted the title of a loose official from the third rank: General Yunhui, the rank was promoted anyway, and this time It was only a year before he was promoted from Bianjing.

In the Great Song Dynasty Hall, such a speed of promotion is absolutely unique.

At the same time, under the auspices of Han Daxianggong and others, the minting reform was also implemented. The new version of copper coins and the old version of copper coins were circulated in the market at the same time. Many old copper coins began to flow back to the Song Dynasty.

Zhao Zongquan ordered that part of the copper coins be recast and made into new copper coins to flow into the market again.

The new version of silver coins is even more popular, and commodity transactions are much more convenient than before.

After Qin Hao successively brought back a large amount of gold from Chenla, Zhao Zongquan had already started to mint gold coins.

The success of this coinage reform also greatly increased Zhao Zongquan's prestige. Those nobles who had waited and watched before began to gradually fall towards Zhao Zongquan. The power of the empress dowager was greatly reduced, and the relationship with Zhao Zongquan was not as harmonious as before.

Just entering the winter, Gu Yankai's old injury relapsed and died. After receiving Zhao Zongquan's edict, Qin Hao also rushed back to Bianjing from Fusang to attend the funeral.

Qin Hao didn't see Gu Tingye at the Bianjing Wharf. At this moment, he was kneeling in front of the coffin and playing the role of a filial son. Originally, his elder brother Gu Tingyu should have assumed this role. It's time to hold a funeral, so Gu Tingye can only do it for him.

However, in the eyes of many people, this is a sign that Gu Tingye is about to inherit the title of Marquis of Ningyuan. After all, according to the situation of the three sons of the caregiver family, it seems that he is the only one who is most suitable to inherit the title.

"Husband." Seeing Qin Hao getting off the boat, Yu Yanran jumped out of the carriage and threw herself into Qin Hao's arms without caring about the etiquette.

Qin Hao gently put his arms around her waist, and whispered in her ear: "Go back and prepare hot water, and I will argue with you after my husband meets the official."

Yu Yanran blushed immediately, but she still nodded obediently, and then returned to the carriage step by step.

Entering the palace, Zhao Zongquan was also very happy to see Qin Hao, he laughed and said: "Aiqing is free of courtesy, and the sea breeze has been blowing for a whole year, Aiqing has worked hard."

Qin Hao bowed and said: "The official's words are serious, the responsibility lies, and I have never worked hard."

Zhao Zongquan said with emotion: "If the officials of the imperial court can take the initiative to share the worries of the widow like Ai Qing, why is there no order in this world?"

After the compliment, Zhao Zongquan said to Qin Hao with emotion: "Aiqing traveled across the ocean at a young age to share the worries of the widow and the court. The sea is full of storms, and Aiqing has no heirs. The widow has always felt uneasy. Why don't you just stay in Bianjing for now? It’s good to rest for a while.”

Qin Hao understood that Zhao Zongquan had seen the huge interests overseas and wanted to completely hold this part of the rights in his own hands, and the person who replaced Qin Hao was Zhao Zongquan's brother-in-law Shen Congxin.

Qin Hao laughed to himself, he said why Zhao Zongquan suddenly asked him to come back for the funeral, although Gu Yankai was his uncle, after all, the Gu family and the Qin family are two families, and they are not considered close relatives, so they don't have to come back for the funeral.

It turned out that he was afraid that he would not come back.

"The minister takes orders!" Qin Hao was not in a hurry. Shen Congxin might be considered heroic in leading his troops in battle, but in the face of all kinds of complicated relationships at sea, it would be a ghost if he could handle it well, and he didn't need Qin Hao to trip him up. , he can play himself to pieces.

When overseas income drops sharply, Zhao Zongquan will naturally invite him out again.

In order to appease Qin Hao's emotions, Zhao Zongquan was also very generous. In addition to rewarding a large number of rare treasures and Huangzhuang fertile land, he also bestowed on Qin Hao the title of Marquis of Jinghai. However, Qin Hao will definitely inherit the title of Marquis of Dongchang in the future. The title, after all, the title of the Marquis of Dongchang is hereditary, but the title of the Marquis of Jinghai needs to be descended and inherited.

Of course, in the future, Qin Hao can also allow one of his sons to inherit the title of Marquis of Dongchang, and let the other son downgrade to inherit the title of Marquis of Jinghai. The premise is that he must have two sons. In ancient times, men were the embodiment of productivity tools.

As soon as Qin Hao came home, Zhao Zongquan's imperial decree came down before his butt was hot, and all the rewards were in place. Obviously, they were prepared before Qin Hao came back.

When Qin Junye heard that his son had become a marquis by himself, he burst into tears, saying that he wanted to open an ancestral hall to worship his ancestors, so as to comfort the spirit of the old marquis.

Qin Liu's family seemed relatively calm, she herself was the eldest lady of the Hou family, and she was still the eldest wife of the Hou family when her son was granted the title of Marquis, nothing changed.

But Yu Yanran was different, her hand holding the imperial decree was still trembling, her lips moved slightly, and she could hear it when she listened carefully, "I am also the Marquis?"

Just when Qin Junye was about to celebrate, Qin Hao stopped him and said, "My uncle just passed away, so let's forget about celebrating. I have to change my clothes and go to worship."

Qin Junye also felt that it made sense when he heard the words. He was still grateful to Gu Yankai. Back then, the Marquis of Dongchang was down and down, and it was thanks to this brother-in-law who took care of him that he would not live in such a miserable life.

After a hasty meal, Qin Hao took Yu Yanran to the Ningyuan Hou Mansion together.

As soon as he entered the front yard, he saw Xiao Qin weeping and leading Gu Tingwei to meet him.

"Brother Hao, Master Hou is gone, how will we live as orphans and widows in the future!"

Qin Hao couldn't help admiring him secretly. It's a pity that this little Qin's acting skills are so bad that she won't be the actress. In fact, she is about to become the wife of the Ningyuan Houfu. What's so sad about her life?As long as she doesn't do anything, even if Gu Tingye inherits the title, he still has to honor her. Gifts are definitely indispensable during the holidays.

Qin Hao looked at his cousin Gu Tingwei again, and cried very sadly, it didn't look like a fake, although he was a dude, he still had a bit of conscience.

In fact, if it wasn't for Xiao Qin's ambition to want Gu Tingwei to inherit the title, he would not know how comfortable his life would be.

Such a good dude, if he insists on carrying such a big banner of the Ningyuan Hou Mansion, he is not afraid of crushing him.

"Auntie, please don't worry, there are two cousins ​​in Ningyuanhou's Mansion, and our Dongchanghou's Mansion, we will not let others bully you." Qin Hao said the scene, implying that if you are unreasonable, then Just don't come looking for me.

All the way to the mourning hall, many nobles took the initiative to say hello to Qin Hao. This time they called Jinghaihou instead of Xiaohouye.

Xiao Qin's eyes sparkled when he heard this, although this title needs to be relegated to inherit, but it is also a title that others have fought for on their own, and looking at his son who is not up to date, he suddenly feels very tired.

When Gu Tingye saw Qin Hao come back, his bloodshot eyes couldn't help showing a gleam of joy.

"Cousin, you are back."

Qin Hao patted Gu Tingye's arm: "Cousin is sad."

That night, when Qin Hao returned to the small courtyard, Qin Hao discovered that Yu Yanran was a little too excited when he was with Yu Yanran. Qin Hao realized that she had taken the "secret medicine" in advance.

"You are not allowed to eat any more in the future, what if you hurt yourself?" Qin Hao stared at her.

Yu Yanran rubbed Qin Hao's chest with her hot cheeks: "Husband, I want a child."
