Dragon Sea Empire

Luo Xuri is over 50 years old.A wealthy businessman born and bred in Haicheng.One of his nephews was rescued by Yin Feng in Manila.Since then, he has been a supporter of China United Corporation.Not only did he become a shareholder, but he also became the shop of Haicheng Port Zhonghua Company. .The shopkeeper of Huaxing Alliance Haicheng branch.

He lives in the yard behind the semicolon.The semicolon gate is facing Dou Lane in Haicheng Town.This more than 200-step long bean alley leads to the wharf of Yuegang.Annual trade season.Numerous goods come and go from home and abroad through this bean alley.Countless fortunes come and go on this street that hasn't changed for a hundred years.Moonport was originally just a small smuggling port in the reed marshes.From there, go to Zhongzuosuo and Wuyu to go to sea.There is still 1 day of sailing.The port is not deep.After the big ship was loaded with cargo and set off.It must be towed by a small boat to sail to the seaport.This is not a suitable place to build a big port to the sea.Just an Embarcadero.The reason why the Ming Dynasty government chose to open the sea here.In fact, I still think about "metaphorism and communication".Thinking about controlling the scale of restrictions on overseas trade.This is the Ming Dynasty government's fear of the open ocean out of small peasant consciousness.Worst choice possible.Choose anywhere else in Mansion Bay to open up your business.Both are more suitable than Yuegang.

but.In any case fate chose here.It is only a semi-open sea trade.In just a few years, Yuegang has become a wealthy place known as "Little Suzhou and Hangzhou".

Luo Xuri was also a pirate who made a living at sea at first.Now he is a wealthy businessman.The tough habits of the early years have not changed in the slightest.More shrewd businessmen.Because he was a pirate in the early years.He is not married and has no children.His nephew Luo Quanzhong adopted him as his son.He also went to Manila for business a few years earlier.In the next few years he was rich.So he raised his adopted son Luo Quanzhong.Hand over all overseas business to Luo Quanzhong.result.This year, the Manila massacre occurred.Luo Quanzhong was one of the last batch of Chinese businessmen who escaped from Balian.It was all thanks to Yin Feng who defended the Dalun Pass with all his strength that he could escape.

The almost unprecedented Luo Chaoyang became the most staunch supporter of China United Company.When he was young, he was the master who opposed the government.In his eyes.The imperial government has no authority; it can keep him alive.There is also Yin Feng who can earn a lot of money.The status in his heart is definitely higher than that of the emperor who is far away in Beijing.

In fact, Zhangzhou, Fujian, and Chaozhou, Guangdong.Many of the coastal residents came a hundred years after the Ming Dynasty established national rule.Only then became the registered household Qimin of the Ming Dynasty.The area of ​​Quanzhou, Zhangzhou, and Chaozhou was during the entire Ming Dynasty.Forces against the rule of the Ming Dynasty continued to emerge.As a result, there was a saying in the Ming court that "the northern captives are in the south".The people in the Zhangchao area, who are constantly rebelling, are juxtaposed with the northern Mongolians.

therefore.In Haichengyue Port.The official ruling power of the Ming Dynasty has always been on the margins of society.Yuegang people have a historical tradition of rebelling against the imperial court.They went to sea to rebel for their livelihood; the so-called "24 generals of Yuegang" during the "Great Japanese Pirates of Jiajing" came from here;

Wanli 29 years.The tax eunuch Gao Cai came to Haicheng to collect taxes.Do not act in accordance with the laws of the court.Grab and rob various sea merchants; sea merchants pay taxes to Westerners overseas.All have to abide by the rules and have clear regulations; the imperial court also has to follow the rules when collecting taxes.But Gao Cai broke the rules; so.Overnight, tens of thousands of merchants mobilized and besieged Gaocai's tax envoy's office.kill his men.His head was also taken; Gao Cai fled overnight under the protection of the county magistrate.Since then, he has continued to show off his might in other places in Fujian.Do whatever you want.But he never dared to set foot on the boundary of Haicheng again.Since then, it has never entered the county border of Haicheng County.

This time Yin Feng was assassinated.News soon spread that this was the work of eunuch Gao Cai.This made many Haicheng businessmen share the same hatred with Yin Feng.One after another came to visit Yin Feng at the Haicheng sub-colon of Huaxing United; Luo Xuri invited the best doctor in Zhangzhou to treat Yin Feng's injuries.And let Yin Feng and Wan'er live in his inner house.

The night Yin Feng arrived.Hooligans from the Quanzhou business line followed him.Attempt to set fire outside Bean Alley.Then rush into the yard by chaos; the result.Yin Feng's personal guards and Luo Jiajia Ding attacked together.Beat off these gangsters in time.The group of foreigners was subsequently discovered by locals in Haicheng the next day.They were preparing to escape on a boat by the Jiulong River.After a spontaneous pursuit.More than a dozen gangsters were burnt to ashes along the Jiulong River with their own boat.

this evening.After Yin Feng received several visiting wealthy businessmen.Getting ready for dinner.But he saw Chen Zhongji quickly running over from the outer house.He looked a little panicked.

"What's wrong?" Yin Feng stopped in his tracks.

"Two hundred officers and soldiers came. They surrounded the inside and outside of the semicolon."

Yin Feng was taken aback: "Where did the officers and soldiers come from? How could there be officers and soldiers. The nearest officers and soldiers are..."

"It's not the soldiers of the Tongshan Institute. There are people from Zhao Jia'ao among the personal guards. They understand the dialect of the opponent. It is said that they are the soldiers of Zhang Wanji, the general manager of Tongshan Village."

Yin Feng frowned: "Go and tell Xiaoliuzi and Yan Zhenquan. Lock up all the doors. No officer or soldier is allowed to come in. I'll go find Master Luo..."

Luo Xuri was instructing his more than 30 servants and guards to prepare swords at the front gate.And someone outside the door was shouting: "Zhang said the boss. Just hand over the pirate leader. The rest will not be held accountable. Otherwise, the imperial soldiers will burn everything and kill the grass."

Luo Xuri spat out thick phlegm "Bah."He rushed out of the door and cursed loudly: "Damn. Where did the pirates come from my house? Are you blind?" Then he kicked a servant on the ass.Cursed: "Boy, seal the door quickly. Don't dawdle."

The man outside seemed to be very patient to carry out the call to the end.He shouted again: "Yesterday morning. Someone saw pirates entering your gate. Master Luo. You don't need to deny it. Hurry up and hand it over."

"Fuck your mother's pirates. That's my boss. Not pirates." Luo Xuri also shouted with great interest.certainly.Also to delay time.

"Is it a pirate? You just need to let the officers and soldiers in to check it out. It will be clear. Open the door quickly." The voice outside the door suddenly became anxious.It seems that someone is newly arrived.Joining the ranks of officers and soldiers outside the gate.

At this time.Yan Siqi has already climbed to the roof of the main hall.Secretly crouched on the roof and peeked out.After a while he slipped down from the roof along the pillars.Xu Xinsu, Mai Xiaoliu, and Luo Xuri who surrounded anxiously said: "There are more than 100 officers and soldiers. The whole section of the street at the gate is full. But there are no firearms; there are officers and soldiers behind the courtyard wall. side to..."

Mai Xiaoliu immediately stood up waving a flintlock pistol: "I will take 10 brothers to the back house."

Luo Xuri hurriedly said: "I will give you 10 servants. They are familiar with the terrain."

Mai Xiaoliu just left.Chen Zhongji and Yin Feng stepped into the front hall.Together they found Luo Xuri.Yin Feng cupped his hands and said: "Master Luo. This time, Mr. Yin has dragged you down. You are going to make enemies with the officers and soldiers. It will be too troublesome."

Luo Xuri waved his hand and said, "What are you talking about? Dong Yin's family. In my eyes, officers and soldiers are nothing. I don't know how many officers and soldiers whose heads I chopped off in the early years. If you want to say that again, you just look down on me, Lao Luo."

Yin Feng had no choice but to bow and cup his hands to show his respect.Then he asked: "Are all the officers and soldiers outside the gate from Tongshanshui Village?"

Xu Xinsu replied: "The banner they displayed was Zhang Wanji, the general of Qinyi in Tongshanshui Village. The brothers of the Zhao family said that several soldiers came from Xuanzhong Office. They were their distant relatives. They were indeed soldiers from Tongshanshui Village."

"Then they came to Haicheng to encircle the pirates. Didn't they just go beyond their own defense zone? This is Shen Yourong's defense zone." Yin Feng said coldly: "In any case, we can't let officers and soldiers enter the yard. They don't have firearms. Except There is no other way to climb over the courtyard wall. Everyone just needs to hold on for one night. Tomorrow. My carrier pigeons have been flying for two days. Tomorrow our navy will definitely arrive. We will definitely break out."

Yin Feng showed his revolver.Luo Xuri hurriedly said: "Big Boss, you should go to the inner house to rest. You were injured just now."

Yin Feng smiled and said: "It's not the first time I've been injured. It's okay. By the way. Didn't the other party specify that they want to arrest me?"

Xu Xinsu was shocked.He and Luo Xuri looked at each other.Shaking his head, he said, "No. They keep talking about arresting pirate leaders."

Yin Feng thought about it.The voice of the officer and soldier outside the door sounded again: "Listen inside. It will take half a stick of incense. We are going to open the door. At that time, no one will stay..."

Yin Feng said to Luo Xuri: "Ask them. Who are the pirates to catch? What's their name."

Luo Xuri didn't quite understand what he meant.But still complied.He shouted: "People outside the door listen: You saw a pirate leader enter my house. So what is his name? Do you know?"

Suddenly there was a commotion outside the door.Someone was arguing about something in a low voice.Yin Feng patted Yan Siqi's shoulder.Point to the roof of the hall with your finger.Yan Siqi nodded.In a flash, he climbed from the pillar to the roof again.At this time.The person shouting from the officers and soldiers outside the door changed.A cold voice shouted unhurriedly: "The people inside are listening. One last warning. Hand them over immediately. Otherwise, they will be killed in the courtyard. Both jade and stone will be destroyed."

"Open the door." Yin Feng said suddenly.Xu Xinsu and Luo Xuri were startled.They all opened their mouths to say something: Yin Feng hurriedly said: "All the guards are lined up at the base of the main hall 20 steps away from the entrance. Master Luo. Your servants are lined up on both sides of the gate courtyard wall. Yan Siqi. You bring a few brothers Get on the roof. Freedom to shoot anyone who breaks into the yard."

Yan Siqi yelled "Yes." He quickly got off the roof.While taking the musket from his companion.While saying: "It seems that the little soldier who shouted was dragged away. Now it is a small officer shouting." Then.He quickly went up to the roof again.

Yin Feng nodded: "Sure enough." He raised his head.Looking at the puzzled eyes of Xu Xinsu and Luo Xuri.He explained: "The soldiers outside the door are probably kept in the dark. They don't know who the pirate leader they are chasing down is. This shows that Zhang Wanji is also sending troops privately. The background of all this is still the high eunuch."

The door of Luo's house was suddenly opened by Hulala.The officers and soldiers gathered at the gate were pleasantly surprised: no need to fight.Those who want to be arrested will be sent to the door.How nice.

but.In the dark night.The light of torches was faintly seen through the open door.But no one came out.A voice came from inside: "The boy outside. If you have the guts, come in and arrest people yourself."

The officers and soldiers looked at each other in blank dismay; I had heard that the people of Yuegang were tough.But such a master who openly wants to oppose the officers and soldiers.It's really rare.what to do.

The officer who shouted kicked and cursed.Finally gathered 10 people.Shout out together.Brandishing a knife and gun, he broke into the door.

The last of the 10 people disappeared at the door.There was bursts of firecracker-like gunfire in the yard.They fired continuously for about ten seconds.A bloody man appeared crookedly at the gate.Failed to cross the threshold.He fell headfirst into the gate.

All the officers and soldiers at the gate stepped back in unison.Everyone gasped.Many veterans said in private: "This is the sound of muskets firing. There are at least [-] or [-] muskets inside. I am afraid that the people here are not ordinary pirates."

A voice came from inside the door: "Listen, officers and soldiers outside the door. We are members of the China United Company. We are not pirates. Tell you to be in charge. Take people away quickly. Our China Company will treat it as if there is no such thing. Otherwise. We will meet again on the sea next time. We will not be polite."

"It's Huaxing United."

"It's from the Chinese company."

"Not pirates. We fell for it."

The soldiers were in disarray.The officer stomped his feet again and again.But the situation is out of control.Yin Feng first let them see his strength.suppressed them.Then move out the name.The officers and soldiers immediately believed what he said.

This time.Even those officers still want to order an attack.The soldiers were unwilling to continue fighting.originally.Many soldiers in Tongshanshuizhai are called stick soldiers.They are local fishermen and sailors recruited by the water village.Many of them usually do business with Chinese companies.Now let them attack their own food and clothing parents.Isn't that a joke.In fact, few officers who knew the details were willing to continue fighting;Some of them do business with Chinese companies;This time, I came out beyond the letter area to chase down the pirate leader.It's already a bad name.It cannot be regarded as an order of the court.

The little officer who shouted wanted to fight again.At the same time, he whipped those soldiers who retreated one after another.While cursing: "No retreat. They are pirates. Imposters."

suddenly. "Papa papa." On the roof of the yard.The flames of the gunpowder burst flashed continuously.The four muskets fired almost in unison.The officer who was whipping someone had a burst of blood on his chest and forehead. "Ah." He yelled for a while before falling straight to the ground and not moving.The surrounding soldiers dispersed with a clatter.away from his body.As if he was a plague spreader.

Someone shouted again in the yard: "I am Yin Feng, the big boss of Huaxing Lianhao. Brothers, what is wrong with me? Are you going to put me to death?"

"What. Yin Dadong's family is here too." A small shareholder of Zhonghua Company asked in surprise.

"It's down."

A torch light illuminated the gate.More than a dozen of Yin Feng's personal guards walked out the door holding flintlock muskets.Line up at the door.The guns were aimed at the officers and soldiers who were in a mess on Bean Lane.Yin Feng came out under the guard of Chen Zhongji, Xu Xinsu and Luo Xuri.

Some of the sailors dropped their weapons and knelt down.People who call it "big boss"; someone secretly backed away.Ready to run away.Others threw away weapons.People move forward.I want to see what Yin Feng looks like.It's good for talking and chatting with your companions.

at this time.There are countless torches flickering on both ends of the bean alley.A large number of Yuegang merchants spontaneously organized nearly ten thousand people to help rescue Yin Feng.Everyone carries all kinds of guys.Block up the bean alley tightly.The remaining officers and soldiers were terrified now.Many people kowtowed to Yin Feng.Beg him for help.

result.These officers and soldiers had to rely on Yin Feng's good words to save their lives.After being disarmed, he was sent to the magistrate's office.Locked in the county office and not allowed to go out.The county magistrate of Haicheng was too frightened to leave the yamen for two consecutive days.This time the misfortune came to the door.But he looked at the tens of thousands of angry people at the gate.We had to take in these poor officers and soldiers.

The scene of chasing and killing Yin Feng.Finally, it developed into a major mass incident.Yin Feng didn't get along at all.
