Jinyi Night Walk

Xu Huyou straightened his waist, he was very surprised and shocked.

In his own estimation, if he accepts the imperial court's recruitment, most of his subordinates will be changed to civil status, and only one hundred and ten people will be left. Giving him a position of one hundred households is a more reasonable arrangement However, if you think that he once sent a boat to rescue the prince, then it is very possible to give him a deputy Qianhu.

But his troops are still under his command if they are not scattered, and he is given a full staff of guards, ..., one guard, and the command of a guard is a fourth-rank military position.As long as he agrees, he can immediately become a fourth-rank member of the imperial court. Although Xu Hu travels across the East China Sea, he is used to it, and even has contact with the kings of some foreign countries, but he is still a little confused.Don't look at him always looking like he doesn't take the imperial court seriously, but Daming, a giant, is incomparable with those foreign and small countries in his mind.

"What, Brother Xu?"

"Ah! Oh!"

Xu Hu recovered his composure, smiled shyly at his gaffe, and said frankly: "I am ashamed, the imperial court treats me so favorably, which is indeed far beyond Xu..., beyond my expectations, I was a little absent-minded for a while, and made the Duke laugh."

Xia Shi smiled and said: "So, is the head of the family satisfied with this arrangement?"

Xu Hu hesitated a little. In fact, he still had a major issue in his mind that was difficult to solve, but the court gave him such good conditions. Xia Shi brought it up.

Xia Shidao: "Why, is there anything embarrassing? Say it out, since it's a call for security, everything can be discussed naturally. If you wait to accept the court's call for security, you can't make your own claims."

Xu Hu gritted his teeth and said: "Yes, Duke, Li Jinglong also intended to recruit us at the beginning. At that time, we didn't know that this guy had bad intentions, but we didn't agree either. We don't trust the court very much. …Over the years, we have taken root on Shuangyu Island, our families, wives and children are all here, and many people depend on us for their livelihood, but how do we arrange so many people in the court?”

Xu Hu took a breath and continued: "There are few fields along the coast. Once these people submit to the imperial court, each household may not even be able to share two acres of land, and it will be difficult to maintain a family's livelihood. If they go to sea to destroy scum, some strong men will be Soldiers, some families have no strong labor force, and some men have died or been disabled in the battle with other pirates and bandits, and it is difficult..." These people have been born and died for me on Shuangyu Island, and I cannot give up. Regardless! "

In fact, there is one more thing that Xu Hu didn't say. Although their smuggling business and piracy business are risky and profitable, if they accept the recruitment, they can't solve the family problems of these subordinates.I'm afraid that many families can't even afford food and clothing. If the quality of life is so different, many people may oppose the recruitment.

However, Xu Hu, who has been troubled by Shuangyu's current predicament for a long time, really wants to accept the recruitment, especially when he hears that the court has offered such generous conditions.

When Xu Hu promised to rescue Lanzi, the king of Yan, the main reason was to use the rebellion of King Yan to create some troubles for the Ming court. Yan Wang received some special rewards, and at that time, he did not accept the intention of recruiting security.

However, today is not what it used to be, since a year ago, he has revealed to Xia Shi through He Tianyang that if King Yan wins the country, he is willing to accept the plan of recruiting security.

There are many reasons for this change, but in the final analysis, their life is getting worse and worse.

After the Chumi Gang was wiped out, Chen Zuyi fled back to the South China Sea, because he also encountered some troubles in the South China Sea, and temporarily did not launch a large number of pirates to go north to fight against the Shuangyu Gang, but the small-scale conflict between the two bandits in the East China Sea and the South China Sea has since It goes on and on.Due to the hostility between the two parties, the Shuangyu Gang's smuggling business in the south has also been greatly affected, and the smuggling income in Nanyang has been greatly reduced.

After the Jianwen Dynasty began to import a large number of war horses from North Korea, the court used a large amount of high-end consumer goods such as silk silk as a counter-price. How could there be so many princes and nobles in North Korea to digest these luxury goods, so they used them to do business with the Japanese. As a result, Japan was able to import a large amount of luxury goods that belonged to Ming Dynasty from North Korea, and the goods purchased through Shuangyu smuggling channels also decreased accordingly.

The two openings, one south and one north, are tightened, and the life of the Shuangyu Gang will be sad

In particular, taking advantage of the civil strife in Ming Dynasty, the Japanese bandits invaded the coastal areas of Daming, and the Ming army could not mobilize enough strength to resist. The bandits returned with a full load every time, and the bandits who had tasted the sweetness went back to publicize, which inspired more Japanese Ronin joined the ranks of pirates, and they frequently entered and exited the East China Sea, causing a lot of friction with Shuangyu Island, the overlord of the East China Sea.

The bandits on Shuangyu Island were Zhang Shicheng's subordinates, and Zhang Shicheng was very much supported by the people in the Jiangxi area in the past, so Zhang Shicheng was defeated. After they fled to the island, they refused to do anything that harmed the people in Jiangxi. They have become the biggest smugglers in the East China Sea, and the people along the coast are the foundation and strong backing for their smuggling and trafficking, let alone destroying the Great Wall themselves.

As a result, they have become thorns in the eyes of the gangsters. On the one hand, the smuggling income has been greatly reduced. On the other hand, conflicts have continued, and people have died and become disabled. As a big pawn, Xu Hu felt very sad.Lax

Nanhai Chen Zuyi, that's completely tearing his face apart. The Japanese gangsters are doing business without capital, and they are harming the people of Ming Dynasty. Even if he is not afraid of turning his back on his ancestors and becoming a traitor, his subordinates will not all follow him, and they will definitely make trouble first In the largest schism, seeking refuge in Daming is the only option if they want to survive.

However, if the families of the pirates are not properly settled, it will never be smooth sailing to accept the recruitment. It is necessary to have some swords, bloody internal cleansing, and use force to force those who refuse to accept the recruitment to tame them. How can such a method be used?

Xu Hu said gratefully: "The emperor can give me such a high official position, the Duke must have said a lot of good things for me. Xu Hu is not a person who doesn't know what is good or bad, but there are tens of thousands of people in Shuangyu, most of them are old and weak women and children. They are all the family members of the Shuangyu brothers. Our brothers have been recruited, and naturally they will not go hungry on the royal salary, but the wives and children will not be able to eat with just that little salary!

The Duke also knows that the coastal land is scarce, and the imperial court cannot give us enough land. As the saying goes, we rely on water to eat water, but the strong men in the family serve as soldiers so that the old, weak, women and children in their families can make a living by smashing scum. inappropriate.I am willing to accept the recruitment, but I am scratching my head how to arrange so many people.

If they don't find a way out for them, it's the best and the fastest Xia, even though he is the head of Shuangwu Island, it's hard to act arbitrarily. The Duke is afraid that he will also be implicated, so I ask the Duke to give me some time to persuade some of the big bosses...

Xia Shi smiled slightly and said, "You don't need to worry about this issue, I've already thought about it.

Xu Hu's spirit lifted, and he hurriedly asked, "Is there anything the Duke can do?"

Xia Shi said slowly: "The master thinks that the emperor will give you a guard. Where is this guard... located?"

Xu Huben is also a shrewd person. He immediately realized that there was something in Xia Shi's words. He was surprised and delighted, and hesitated in disbelief: "The Duke said..., Could it be..., Could it be Shuangyu?"

"Not bad!"

Xu Hu stayed there when he heard this, and was speechless for a long time.

Xia Shi smiled and said: "Emperor Yongle is different from Emperor Taizu. Emperor Yongle is very interested in the ocean... When I proposed to the emperor, I mentioned the history of Shuangyu. Before that, Shuangyu was in my Ming Dynasty. The territory is only because it is isolated overseas and it is inconvenient to manage. Emperor Taizu moved all the residents of Shuangyu inward and abandoned it.

However, the court abandoned it and used it for pirates.Shuangyu is a good natural port. Near Hangzhou, there is no port with such a deep waterline, so it is not convenient for ocean-going ships to come and go. However, it is connected to North Korea and Japan in the north, Luzon and Ryukyu in the south, and directly opposite is the confidant of my Ming Dynasty. The place, if it works well, will be an excellent port, but this important port must always be protected by officers and soldiers?

Hehe, the emperor agreed to set up guards here, which is one of the reasons; the other reason is: counting the entire population of Shuangyu Island, I estimate that there are at least [-] to [-] people. With such a large population, which prefecture do you want? Come to settle, but also can't afford it.There is a shortage of people in Peiping, but it is unrealistic to send all of you who grew up by the sea to Peiping. So it is best to keep you here. choose. "

Xu Hu was overjoyed, and quickly stood up, gave Xia Shi a long bow, and said gratefully: "Since this is the case, there is no problem. I am sure to persuade all the leaders of the islands to accept the imperial court together. Duke, my... No, no, humble position, humble position, I will call the leaders of the islands and gather here to wait for the decree from the Duke." "No hurry!"

Xia Xun looked serious, and said: "There is another reason why the emperor is willing to agree to such a generous condition. Sit down and listen to me slowly!"

Xu Hu put away his smile, sat down nervously, and said, "Duke, please tell me!"

Xia Shidao: "The hunchback has been too rampant recently. Our emperor, you don't understand his temperament. His people are absolutely unwilling to be bullied by outsiders. Now that the emperor is a newcomer to the great treasure, he still can't draw his hand to wait." If he spared no time, he would never let these bastards go.

Now what?If Shuangyu has a team of troops, echoing Xiangshanwei, Hangzhouwei, etc., the bandits will definitely not be able to harass the coast unscrupulously.In fact, you have been doing this all the time, but at the same time, you have to guard against the officers and soldiers. Not only did you not cooperate with each other, but you were on guard against each other. This is why you did not exert your due strength.

After the guard post is set up on Shuangyu Island, the imperial court will provide you with real warships and distribute firearms for you.With the special terrain of Shuangyu, you can't fight in. When you are equipped with warships and firearms, with your ability to cross the sea for many years, are you afraid that you can't teach them a lesson? "
