The heavens start from saving Daming

Chapter 95

The enraged King Zhongshun even thought of breaking up with Li Yunze to the death.

He has always asked for benefits from others, but today he was beaten by Li Yunze.

Money is very important, but losing face makes him even more angry.

But in the end, King Zhongshun, who had calmed down, set off back to the city with a dark face to raise money.

Offending King Zhongshun made many generals worry about it.

However, Li Yunze reassured everyone. After arranging things properly, he found an empty room, opened the door of time and space, and returned to the modern world.

Li Yunze, who returned to the hotel suite, called the housekeeper Tony, "Help me find two people, a master of calligraphy who imitates brush characters, and a master of seal making."

"As you wish, sir."

After lunch, two well-known professionals in their respective industries came over in the hotel's courtesy car.

"Please make a document, both of you." Putting the documents from the inner government's treasury in his hands on the table, Li Yunze asked directly, "The paper and handwriting must be exactly the same. The seal on it must also be exactly the same."

The two professionals looked at each other, and the master who specialize in engraving seals took the lead, "Sir, we are professionals in art, like this kind of thing"

"20 tea fee per person." Li Yunze, who didn't blink, reached out and took out his card, "Is one hour enough?"

"For such academic things, we are naturally fine."

The two masters smiled, "It's just that time is too tight, and we have to wait until tomorrow at the earliest."

"The quality is guaranteed within two hours, and the tea fee is doubled."

Without the slightest hesitation, the two masters got up, picked up the documents and ran out the door.While running, he greeted the butler Tony, "Hurry up and prepare the car, I want the fastest Mercedes."

Li Yunze leaned back on the sofa, took out a cigarette and bit it in his mouth.

When the troops return this time, they can use this document to launch an offensive against King Zhongshun.

There is no need for any substantive evidence. With the suspicious personality of the Great Zhou Emperor, it is enough to give an entry point.

With the spiritual support of the high tea fee, the two masters used superb technology and devoted a lot of energy to quickly complete the commissioned work.

Whether it is handwriting or seal, they are almost exactly the same.

Li Yunze returned again, quietly waiting for King Zhongshun to return.

Waiting until the sunset was about to set, King Zhongshun, who was riding in a gorgeous gold-encrusted carriage, finally came back.

King Zhongshun with a dark face took out a stack of bank notes and handed them over.On the cart that followed the carriage, there was a wooden box full of silver.

Having been in charge of the inner palace for many years, although King Zhongshun got a lot of goods, his expenses were also very high.

It is not easy to collect tens of thousands of taels of money in a short time.

"Is it okay this time?"

"Thank you." Passing over the signed and printed delivery documents, Li Yunze nodded and nodded, "I've accepted the things, and the lord can go back and clear the account."

'Humph. '

He shook his sleeves heavily, and King Zhongshun, with an unwavering expression, turned around and was about to get into the carriage.This is not wanting to say a word to Li Yunze.

"My lord." Li Yunze continued to call, "I heard that the opera troupe in the lord's mansion sings very well, so I will definitely pay a visit when I have free time."

King Zhongshun, who got into the carriage, left without saying a word and went back to the city.

It was true that he didn't say anything, but he was thinking in his mind, what happened to the theater troupe, which made Li Yunze specifically mention it.

What's more, we must find a way to bring down the Jia family!
Today's humiliation will be repaid a hundredfold in the future!
After all preparations were made, Li Yunze's first battalion finally dispatched troops officially.

Still so rich and powerful, when they arrived at the ferry, they chartered boats directly, large and small ships were chartered, and they carried soldiers and horses and supplies to march along the waterway.

The road system in these days is very poor, relying on a pair of iron feet to walk from Guanzhong to the southeast, at least [-] troops will lose [-] on the road.

And the suppression of mental state and morale is great.

It's still comfortable to take a boat, eat, sleep and get familiar with the water every day, and when you stop at the shore, you may go ashore to have fun.

Compared with walking on legs, the effect of boosting the morale of the army is absolutely top-notch.

The fleet boarded the Grand Canal and passed Yangzhou all the way south.

Li Yunze still didn't visit Lin Ruhai, because he knew very well that now was not the time.

The difficulty of attacking Sister Lin is definitely the highest among all of them.

But unexpectedly, when the fleet moored at the pier at night, someone from the Yanzheng Yamen took the initiative to find it.

The person who came was Lin Ruhai's servant, and after saluting, he actually said the general's condolences.

Li Yunze's heart trembled when he said this.

It shouldn't be. Before departure, there were all kinds of arrangements, overt and covert. It couldn't be that something happened to a girl in the family.

The servant handed over a letter, "My lord was murdered by a villain."

After reading the letter and listening to the servant's narration, I finally understood.

The accident happened to Jia Amnesty. After blackmailing Jia Rong again, he was suddenly attacked by an assassin on his way home. If it wasn't for the fact that a patrol team from Wucheng soldiers and horses happened to pass by, he probably would have died on the way.

I heard that the injury was serious, and I didn't know if I could carry it while lying paralyzed on the bed.

Two murderers were caught, both of whom were well-known rascals in Shenjing City.

Before the set of punishments was finished, the two confessed to Jia Rong, who was the mastermind behind the scenes.

Hearing from Li Yunze that Jia Rong had moved away 5 taels of silver from the Ningguo Mansion, Jia Amnesty went to intimidate and threaten Jia Rong every now and then.

Jia Rong gave back some at first, but Jia Amnesty's appetite got bigger and bigger, and he killed Jia Rong and took away 5 taels.

Even if he sold Jia Rong, he still couldn't afford 5 taels.

Being forced to be impatient, Jia Rong has a handsome face but not a very good brain, so she turned to the brave and directly killed her.

Jia's mansion sent someone to deliver a letter to Li Yunze, but they couldn't catch up all the way.

The messenger was also a strange thing, and he rushed to Yangzhou Mansion to find Lin Ruhai, and only then did the servants of the Lin Mansion come to report the letter.

Li Yunze's voice was low and his expression was miserable, "Go back and tell Uncle, I already know about this matter. However, state affairs are more important than family affairs. I was ordered to send troops, how can I disturb the court's deployment because of family affairs."

Having said that, he raised his hand and wiped away the tears that didn't exist in the corner of his eyes, "When I return from the conquest, I'll go find Jia Rong to settle the score!"

After the servant left, Li Yunze put away the letter and called the soldiers, "Dinner, and add two hard dishes in the evening."

The matter between Jia Rong and Jia Amnesty is almost over.

When passing by Yingtian Mansion, Li Yunze rested here for several days.

For those of the soldiers whose families were in Jinling to go home on vacation, I went to Jia Yucun and asked about Zhen Shiyin's whereabouts.

I must have looked for it, but unfortunately I couldn't find it.

Zhen Shiyin, who sees through the world of mortals and travels around, doesn't know if he was buried by some mountain king as fertilizer.

When the soldiers came back from visiting relatives, they brought many children from the family, all of whom wanted to serve as soldiers with the second uncle (brother) for salary.

Naturally, Li Yunze would not refuse, and accepted all who were willing to come.

The big waves swept over, and the mud and sand fell.

Those that can be used will naturally be retained, and those that are not will be eliminated.

Continue to go south along the waterway, and arrive in Fujian in more than ten days, then abandon the boat and go ashore to Zhangzhou Prefecture on foot.

Theoretically speaking, he should first go to Fuzhou City to pay a visit to the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang, and return to his subordinates to obey his orders.

But Li Yunze didn't care about it at all, and went his own way.

The reason why he came to Zhangzhou Mansion was very simple. The center left across the sea had been occupied by pirates.This is the first target he chooses.

After more than ten days, I finally saw the magnificent sea.

"General." Dong Haihai, who was promoted to the capital because of his military exploits, went forward to salute. "Our army has no ships, how can we fight against pirates?"

"ferry?"

Speaking of this, Li Yunze smiled, "There are."

The boat he is most familiar with is a [-]-ton fishing boat.

No matter how big the boat is, it's not that you can't buy it, but you can't find enough professional people to drive it.

The degree of specialization of modern ships is very high. Although the manpower required is not very large, the high degree of professionalism cuts off the possibility of large-scale training in the era of illiteracy.

An iron ship of thousands of tons must have at least twenty professional crew members.

For example, first mate, second mate, third mate, radio operator, second engineer, second engineer, third engineer, electrician, chief engineer, fire chief, mechanic, and assistant mechanic have high professional requirements.

So a simplified fishing boat of [-] tons is the limit that Li Yunze can bear.

Usually, it is only necessary to teach the captain at the helm and the engineer at the wheel.

It is still the old rule, place an order to order a new ship, and if there are second-hand ones, they will directly sweep the goods.

But before the fishing boats arrived, Li Yunze had to destroy the pirates entrenched on the center left.

After taking Xiamen Island, this strait is the best training ground.

According to drone investigation, the old pirate camp on the island has about one or two thousand people.

Looking at their equipment and quantity, as long as the battalion can be transported to the island, they can be defeated in one battle.

The problem is that the pirates have dozens of broken ships in the narrow channel.

Li Yunze called the prefect of Zhangzhou, "Are there many fishermen in this prefecture?"

The magistrate knew that Li Yunze was here to fight pirates, and the mansion was often harassed by pirates, so he was naturally very enthusiastic at this time, "There are many saline and alkaline lands in this mansion, and there is little arable land. Most of the people live by fishing."

Speaking of this, the prefect also sighed, "Due to the harassment of pirates, many local fishermen hide their boats and dare not go to sea."

Regarding this, Li Yunze absolutely did not believe it.

Similar to those sea merchants who turned into pirates after going to sea, fishermen along the coast would naturally turn into pirates when they had the opportunity.

The pirates occupying Xiamen Island on the opposite side are actually mostly fishermen along the coast.

"The magistrate, please post a notice, and then send people to the countryside to preach."

Li Yunze didn't talk nonsense, and started to do things directly, "This general recruits fishermen's boats, and all treatment is treated as a regular soldier. Those who have boats will bring them with them, and they should buy them with a lot of money. No child will be deceived."

Hearing this, the magistrate was very vigilant, "Forgive me, General, there is no money left in this mansion."

"You don't need to pay, the general has plenty of money."

The regular soldiers of the Great Zhou Dynasty were definitely paid well, and it was no problem for one person to support the whole family.

The premise is that there will be no deduction of food and wages in arrears.

Li Yunze set up a recruiting flag at the gate of the government office, and boxes of silver were piled up on the street like this, attracting the attention of countless people.

When the first person to eat crabs really got 20 taels of relocation allowance, it immediately caused a sensation.

The standard of living of coastal fishermen in this era is completely incomparable with that of fishermen in the modern world.

Going out to sea to fish is not only very risky, but also not very rewarding.

In short, it is just one word, very poor.

20 taels of settling allowance, a monthly salary of two taels and five qian, and a monthly ration of one stone.

Naturally, there are many people who respond to such favorable conditions.

Of course, Li Yunze doesn't want anyone, he only needs someone with a family, especially a good family with living parents.

Those who obviously come from unknown sources, and may even come from the island, will be expelled.

After recruiting more than a thousand sailors, Li Yunze gathered them all on the beach near the sea.

The guards brought a few large boxes, and after opening, the piles of silver shone brightly in the sun.

The sailors were faintly agitated.

Li Yunze, holding a loudspeaker, stretched out his finger and pointed at the pirate ships that were faintly visible in the distance, "I am going to recruit dead soldiers to blow up those broken ships. After the success, the money here will be taken according to your weight. How many taels of silver will I reward you!"
