Ji Tang

Chapter 1019
Now that Lawyer Pei had given in, Ji Song had no reason to continue to embarrass him. After everyone had finished tea, just when Lawyer Pei was impatient to wait for a word from Ji Song, he heard Ji Song say: "Prepare to change the principal overseas. People!"

Then he glanced at Lawyer Pei: "He is not suitable!"

Bang!

It fell to the ground and shattered into pieces, leaving only the lid still spinning, as if unwilling to become useless trash.

"Mr. Xi, is there still room for discussion on this matter?"

He was full of regret at this time, but he knew that when Ji Song said these words, it was no longer a discussion, but an announcement.

What the Pei family did may not seem big, but they broke the original agreement and did something that violated the rules when they didn't have enough strength to bargain with the court. This was something they asked for themselves and they couldn't blame others.

In the past, the mutual support between the aristocratic families was ignored after learning about this incident, and they allowed the court to deal with the Pei family.If you want to be safe in this world, don't think about eating alone. No matter how much you have eaten before, you will definitely spit it out intact, or even more!

"Discuss? Haha!"

Ji Song smiled and did not look at the lost lawyer Pei. Instead, he asked Zheng Qian aside: "Brother Zheng, do you think this matter can still be discussed?"

After finishing speaking, without waiting for Zheng Qian's answer, he slammed the table angrily and cursed at Lawyer Pei: "You still want to discuss it? It's just a discussion. If you weren't afraid of damaging other people's confidence in going to sea, do you still want to discuss it? You The lives of Pei’s Western family members are not enough.”

"Okay, you are really a wolf from the Zhongshan family. You will be rampant when you succeed. You have achieved some success overseas and you don't know your last name? Do you really think that this time the court is because of the ship?"

"Isn't it?" Lawyer Pei suddenly raised his head and asked with confusion on his face.

"Hmph, although that ship is good, it depends on how it compares. Today's navy fleet can crush it with just one detachment. Even if I give you ten ships, what will happen to twenty ships?"

Ji Song sneered and said: "Who in your family is very ambitious? Not only did he contact a small aristocratic family in the Central Plains to resell supplies, he also pretended to be a pirate and robbed passing ships. How brave he is!"

"That's all. He is obedient and defiant. He regards the laws of the court as nothing, arbitrarily intercepting passing ships and charging high tolls? Who gave him the courage? Are you Mr. Pei?"

Lawyer Pei was completely stupid at this time, he didn’t know any of this!

"It's not impossible. Why don't I know this? How dare they do this?"

Zheng Qian on the side couldn't sit still. If this was true, it would be a big deal.

"Brother Ziyi, is this true?"

Ji Song casually handed the thing in his sleeve to Zheng Qian, calmed down and sat down.

In fact, he knew about this not long ago. He never thought that these people would be so bold. No wonder the port tax revenue in the second half of this year dropped by nearly one-tenth.You must know that this is the rising stage of the development of maritime trade. Every year, taxes have been increasing year by year. How could it suddenly decrease?
At first, he thought there was a war overseas and didn't take it seriously. But when a foreign businessman said that there were pirates intercepting him along the way, he understood.Especially after knowing that these people were from the Tang Dynasty, what else didn't he understand?
Now, other aristocratic families are racing against time to compete for territory, who has the leisure to cause trouble?Who else could be there besides Pei, who had already initially established a foothold?
Only they can do these unprofitable businesses while protecting themselves.

Looking at the information in his hand, Zheng Qian trembled all over. Suddenly, he stepped forward and grabbed Lawyer Pei, slapped him in the face, and kicked him again before he could understand his hatred.

Ji Song didn't react for a moment. When he came to his senses, Lawyer Pei had been kicked to the ground.

".Are you crazy?"

Lawyer Pei was completely dumbfounded and didn't understand why Zheng Qian was so crazy that he hit him again.

"Damn it, what do you think this place is?"

Ji Song became angry when he saw this and scolded him directly.

But Zheng Qian stiffened his neck and said: "Mr. Hao, don't stop me this time. Otherwise, I'll beat this bastard. I won't be able to swallow this breath. Pei, one of the noble families, actually started doing something without any talent." Buying and selling? What is this? It will completely disgrace our family. If this spreads out, what will the world think of us? Will they say we are robbers? Unscrupulous pirates? "

"I must beat him to death today!"

Is Ji Song okay with this?
"Back off! If you can't help it, you have to endure it. If you try again, I will throw you out!"

Who is Ji Song?That was a fierce general who was killed from the sea of ​​​​blood from the mountain of corpses. The evil aura in his body was simply unbearable to ordinary people.After years of being pampered, he had been able to restrain his evil aura, but now he was angry.

Zheng Qian's face turned pale. Seeing that Ji Song was really angry, he snorted coldly, glared at Lawyer Pei and sat down.

Ji Song looked at Zheng Qian, who had calmed down, and said to Lawyer Pei on the ground: "This means that you don't know. If you were also involved, how could this matter be understood so easily? By then, it will not only be you, but also Pei." Everyone will be implicated."

"Go back. If you have the means, tie that guy to Chang'an. If you don't have the ability, then prepare to re-establish overseas territories. The imperial court will not take back the title, and the territory belongs to your Pei family. After all, they are also expanding the territory for the Tang Dynasty. How can soil chill the hearts of heroes?"

Lawyer Pei stood up in despair, saluted Ji Song, and walked out in a daze.

He understood that Ji Song was being magnanimous when he said this. If he didn't kill Pei with a knife on other people, he would write the character Pei upside down.

"Ziyi, is there no room for negotiation on this matter? After all."

"After all, they also worked so hard to capture the territory?"

Ji Song sneered and said: "No one's money is brought by the strong wind. They are poaching Datang's corner by doing this. You have to know that if there is no skin left, the hair will be attached. Don't look at those people's attitude towards Datang now. Respectfully, that is because the Tang Dynasty is powerful. Once the Central Plains is in war and the strength is gone, you will have to spit out as much as you eat overseas. You don't even understand the essence of the matter, you are simply stupid!"

"Today we open the sky and make it clear that you and the imperial court are not enemies at all, not even rivals. After you completely go overseas, the Tang Dynasty or the Central Plains will be the foundation for your survival. No matter what you are doing outside, No matter how bad it is, at least you still have a way out. It will not lead to the catastrophe of annihilation. But the premise is that you must not harm his interests."

"You are doing well, and Datang is happy to see your success. We even hope that you will bring different waves to this nation. I and Your Majesty are willing to help. Datang does not need your thanks, but we also ask you to Remember, where are your roots?”

"call!"

Ji Song breathed a sigh of relief and waved: "You can go too and bring them what I said today. The Tang Dynasty can allow you to do anything within the rules, but there are some things you cannot do. How big are you overseas? It doesn’t matter whether the Tang Dynasty succeeds, but it must follow the will of this nation.”

"Whether it's killing each other or going to war, the Tang Dynasty won't care about it. But if one day someone dares to betray this nation, I will kill them all, even to the ends of the earth."

"Don't say that I didn't predict what I said!"

Zheng Qian left, without taking a car or riding a horse, and just walked to the door of his house in a daze.Looking at the gilded plaque, he suddenly felt relieved!

"The family order tells Zheng Kang to come back immediately!"

He looked sinister and said quietly: "If you don't come back, then never come back."

The housekeeper was shocked, but when he saw the family's expressions, he immediately froze and agreed, "Yes, I'll go right now!"

Half a month later, all the aristocratic families who went to sea received the news. When Ji Song's words reached their ears, some were shocked, some were dismissive, and some even turned a deaf ear.

Anyone who knows who Ji Song is knows that this is definitely not a joke.Especially when the huge fleet of the Tang Nanhai Navy was resupplying in Mingzhou Port, everyone was speechless.

They are all experienced in the sea, and even if they are not, they still know a lot about the sea.But it was because of their understanding that they were covered in cold sweat.

One after another, five thousand stone giant ships stayed in the harbor, literally blocking the sun. By one count, there were at least hundreds of them.Think about it, their largest merchant ship is only [-] dan, but now there are hundreds of giant ships with more than [-] dan, and they are still fully armed, with cold crossbows, bright armor, and energetic naval warriors. , making everyone speechless.

No one expected that in just a few years, Datang's navy would develop to such an extent.What about Beihai Navy?What is their situation?
Those who didn't take Ji Song's words seriously at first were now fighting in two ways, glad that they were here.If he hadn't come, who would have known that the imperial court still had such a powerful naval force?
Compared with the navy, the few ships of my own that made the natives run away like mice were just playing house!

Liu Rengui and Shen Zhen stood on the bow of the ship, looking at the naval officers and warships behind them and feeling high-spirited for a moment, thinking that this is what a leading general should look like.

"Commander, when shall we set off?"

Shen Zhen can't help himself. With such military power, who in the world can stop him?

"Not urgent!"

After all, Liu Rengui was a person whose name was left in history. He calmed down after the excitement.Compared with the current scenery, he hopes to bring the power of victory and be knighted and worshiped as a general in Chang'an Taiji Hall.

"I asked you to investigate their situation, have you investigated clearly? This is the first time our naval fleet has officially gone to sea for combat, so we must not be careless!"

Hearing this, Shen Zhen clasped his fists and said, "We have investigated everything clearly. They have a total of ten large ships of five thousand stone, fifty ships of three thousand stone, and countless other small ships. They have united some indigenous people on the sea, and their army is about 3 people."

"Have you found out the origins of those big ships?"

They don't have the strength to build such a big ship, so there must be someone out there to help.

"Detected!"

Speaking of this, Shen Zhen said solemnly: "It's Dashi. I don't know how they got in touch with Dashi. The big ships here are basically funded by Dashi. Not only that, there are people who saw Dashi in the middle." figure."

"How brave!"

Liu Rengui slapped the guardrail and said angrily: "How dare you unite with foreigners? They are simply looking for death!"

"Tell the brothers, no foreigners will be taken prisoner this time!"

"promise!"

"There is actually a giant cannibal involved?"

In Tai Chi Hall, when Li Shimin got the news, he immediately called Fang Du, Li Jing and others, and of course Ji Song himself was also indispensable.

"Let's talk about it! What do you think of this matter? Is this Dashi's hand stretched a little too long? How dare he get involved in this matter? What is he doing?"

boom!
Yu Shen was slapped loudly, which shows how angry he was in his heart!
He had just learned about some of Dashi's falsehoods, and people were almost knocking on his door. He simply didn't take Datang seriously!

"Your Majesty, please calm down!"

"Calm down, calm down, how can I calm down? People are making trouble on me now, shouldn't I be angry?"

Fang Xuanling shook his head with a wry smile and said: "Your Majesty, now is not the time to be angry, but to think about how to deal with it. If I am right in my guess, this should be Dashi's test of me, Datang. On land It’s too far away, but the sea is connected in all directions, and there are thieves making trouble, so they just saw the opportunity!”

Li Jing also stepped forward with a slight trembling and said: "Your Majesty, I suggest that important ministers should be sent to the navy to take charge. This time it is no longer about cleaning up the 'bandit chaos', but has become a contest between the two great powers in the world. Since the other side dares to send Such a large number of warships must not be a simple test. If they are defeated, it is very likely that the ships will be sailed directly to our coast of Datang."

"We have to guard against it!"

Everyone was shocked when they heard Li Jing's words!
Although I don’t believe that Datang will lose, what if it happens?
Judging from the current intelligence, although the opponent's warships are not as good as the Tang Dynasty, they are not much worse.Once defeated, they will drive straight in. If they are allowed to attack the coastal areas, it will be a real disaster.

Although there is a North Sea Navy, it has always been used to defend the sea, and its combat power is significantly lower than that of the South Sea Navy Fleet.If the South China Sea Navy Fleet loses, can the North China Sea Navy Fleet win?

Therefore, this risk cannot be taken!

"My minister agrees!"

"The minister also agrees!"

"it is good!"

Li Shimin stood up and laughed loudly: "This is what I, the ministers of the Tang Dynasty, should be like. Since he Da Shi dares to take the lead, my Tang Dynasty master is famous. If I don't completely defeat him, you really think that I, the Tang Dynasty, are afraid of him." Can’t he?”

"Pass the message, there will be a meeting in the Taiji Hall tomorrow to decide on the candidates for the expedition!"

"I will obey the holy order!"

After walking out of the Tai Chi Hall, Ji Song breathed a sigh of relief. He didn't expect that his appearance would trigger a butterfly effect.Dashi, who had nothing to do with the Tang Dynasty at this time, actually faced the Tang Dynasty, and at sea?

Do you think you have completely caused the largest maritime war in history?Or between two major countries in the world?

He shook his head and didn't think about it.Now that we have faced each other, there is no reason to escape.The Tang Dynasty is no longer the original Datang Dynasty, but the Dashi is still the original Dashi. I just don’t know what kind of impact this time will have in the future?
Trigger the Age of Discovery ahead of schedule?
Well, it is better to let this nation understand the cruelty and benefits of the sea sooner than later.Sometimes once you get it, you are afraid of losing it, which may be a good thing
