The Soldier of the Ming Dynasty

Li Yuanqing holds Liu QingHan's small hand with a smile.

Her hands were cold, and her whole body was shaking slightly.

"Remember what I said. Don't think so much. You can come to me whenever you need. You are too thin. I don't like it. You should eat more, you know? "

Li Yuanqing said, smiling and patting her small butt, gently twisted a.

"General..."

Liu QingHan's dark pretty face also couldn't help a red, but for a moment, it was full of courage: "general, I, if I eat fat, you, will you really want me?"

Li Yuanqing a smile, deeply inhaled a cigar: "there is no beauty, I Li Yuanqing is a fool?"

"Thank you, general!"

Liu QingHan respectfully kowtowed to Li Yuanqing a few times, and then left happily.

Looking at her thin back, Li Yuanqing's eyes narrowed slightly, and suddenly pressed the cigar on the table!

He doesn't like tragedy!

Therefore, he will do his best to prevent the tragedy from happening!

………

Time flies by and it's early September.

After a busy period of time, the wharf has basically begun to take shape, and the blocks, roads, barracks, and major construction facilities near the wharf have also begun to go on track.

In addition to the fact that road construction involves going through a part of the rainforest, it is a bit more troublesome. For other buildings, the problem is not too big.

The main architectural style is mainly Chinese style, highlighting a grand atmosphere.

The second day of September.

In the evening, a group of representatives of Nanyang Chinese gentry once again invited Li Yuanqing to have a banquet at the most famous Chinese restaurant in Brunei wharf block. Together with more than a dozen main generals of the longevity camp, a dozen tables were gathered.

They are all Chinese. Although some Chinese gentry have been descended from several generations of immigrants, most of them can speak Mandarin and have no difficulty in communicating with Li Yuanqing.

A banquet started at 6:00 p.m. and lasted until 9:00 p.m., but it didn't mean to end. Li Yuanqing was also helpless.

Chinese people, everything is good, but it is necessary to deepen feelings and talk about things on this wine table. Li Yuanqing is really speechless.

Although he is also fond of wine and likes to drink with his brothers, he can't stand it. It's such an occasion every day. He's soaked in wine every day.

Fortunately, Nanyang's liquor is all low alcohol liquor, which is not higher than beer. Li Yuanqing can barely cope with it.

It's not easy. When the banquet is almost over, Li Yuanqing is ready to go back to find Zhang Baozhu to "go to the fire.".

At this time, all of a sudden, a family of Chen family slaves ran in at full speed, "master, master, the big things are not good, the big things are not good!"

The Chen family is a wealthy businessman in Malacca and has been in the third generation in Nanyang. It is no exaggeration to say that the family is rich in wealth.

Chen Yougen, the patriarch of the clan, was in his early 40s. He was also a strong supporter of Li Yuanqing's Pan Pacific Trading Company.

"What's wrong? Don't know what occasion this is? Why don't you get out of here? "

Seeing that it was about to end, Chen Yougen could not help but be angry that his servant was so ignorant.

However, the slave repeatedly kowtowed: "master, we have more than ten ships of goods, tens of thousands of taels of silver! They were all cut off by those white haired ghosts of dog days! Even the young master was captured by them! They said, "yes, the master should prepare one million taels of silver, and hand over the money and deliver the goods within ten days."! Otherwise, the ticket will be torn up! "

"What? Hua Er he... "

Chen Yougen stumbled and almost fell to the ground.

Li Yuanqing or the side of the eye quick, busy to pull him up, help up.

"Well, who is so brave? How dare you intercept our Chinese goods at this time? "

"Yes! This son of a bitch, clearly is not to give us face ah

"Ah! These pirates in Nanyang are too rampant! Even the early Japanese pirates are not as bold as they are! "

“………”

There was a burst of discussion all around.

Li Yuanqing's eyebrows also could not help wrinkling, to this Chen family slave way: "you don't worry. Speak slowly. Who intercepted the goods from the Chen family? And kidnapped Mr. Chen? "

The slave also knew Li Yuanqing and knew his identity. He was busy kowtowing: "yes, it's Jack, the executioner. Within a hundred miles of Brunei. Their firepower is too strong and the boat is so fast that we can't run! "

"Ah? Is it Jack the executioner

"Well, what should I do?"

"The Chens are afraid of it this time. They are afraid that they will..."

Hearing the low voices around him, Chen Yougen could not help but look pale. For a moment, two lines of old tears poured out: "Hua'er, my son! This, this... "

For a moment, he suddenly responded. He grabbed Li Yuanqing's big hand and knelt on the ground and said, "Li junmen, you are an official and an army of the imperial court, and you have to make decisions for the grassroots in this matter."It seems that all around them caught the straw, but they were often blackmailed by the executioner jack, and they knelt down one after another: "Li junmen, you need to help Lao Chen!"

"Li junmen..."

Looking at the excited crowd, Li Yuanqing's eyes narrowed slightly.

For a moment, Li Yuanqing waved his hand with a smile: "don't be nervous. Jack, the executioner, dare to be so arrogant and rob the merchant ships of Daming for many times. What can't be tolerated! You can rest assured that this matter will be dealt with to the end! "

All the people around were overjoyed and kowtowed one after another. They finally found the backbone!

………

The banquet soon broke up and the main officers were soon gathered on Li Yuanqing's battle ship.

"Damn it, Jack, the executioner, it's obvious that he can't get along with us! I can't bear it! "

As soon as shunzi heard the news, she couldn't help patting the table.

Kong Youde also said: "general, this matter is related to the key to whether our Changsheng camp can establish a foothold in Nanyang. We must not ignore it."

"Yes! These monkeys can't be so crazy! This dog just wants to ride on our necks and poop

“……”

The surrounding people have expressed their opinions, and without any hesitation, they have reached a consensus to deal with them with a tough line.

However, Li Yuanqing looked at Guan Canghai, who had not made a clear statement to this time.

Seeing Li Yuanqing's eyes, Guan Canghai took a deep breath: "general, what you said is good. However, I feel that something is wrong with this matter! "

Li Yuanqing nodded, indicating that Guan Canghai would continue.

Guan Canghai said again: "gentlemen, have you found that Jack, the executioner, is rampant, but he seems to have done little to Chinese businessmen these days! But at this time, our Pan Pacific Trading Company has not opened yet. This guy is still in such a hurry to jump out. He is still less than a hundred miles away from Brunei. This... "

At this time, Xu Heizi also understood the meaning of Guan Canghai and said, "Lao Guan, do you mean that there is someone behind me who is instructing me

The official Canghai heavy key nods, "eight nine does not leave ten! Some people don't want to see our Pan Pacific Trading Company go well

"These Spaniards! It must have been the idea of Valon dagama of some bird's hair! We can't bear it! "

Shunzi can't help but jump!

After following Li Yuanqing for so many years, especially after going to Changsheng Island, their brothers have always been chasing others. How could they have been so wronged that someone would dare to step on their faces!

How can it be tolerated?

Kong Youde also said: "this executioner jack, sooner or later it is a disaster, just take this opportunity to remove it together!"

Guan Canghai waved his hand and said, "this is not easy! As far as we know, Jack the executioner has more than a dozen ships! That means, at least, that he might have three or four thousand people under his command. We must not be rash

Li Yuanqing nodded deeply, "we have an old saying in China. If there is no diamond diamond, don't go to China! Since Jack, the executioner, dares to do this, he must have ignored us! Think we can do nothing about him

Guan Canghai said: "general, even if it is like this, we have no way back! If we don't work this guy down, we Pan Pacific Trading Company will have no peace! "

Kong Youde said: "this guy only gives Chen family ten days. Time is very urgent."

Li Yuanqing nodded: "if it's hard to do it, you have to do it! Since Jack, the executioner, wants to die, let's help them! "

………

Before dawn the next day, Li Yuanqing made an appointment with maurentes, Valen dagama's representative in Brunei.

Morentes was in his early fifties, short and fat, with white eyebrows, and eyes the size of mung beans, full of Spanish sternness and Philistines.

"Distinguished general Li, I don't know. What can I do for you?"

Morrentes' Chinese is not very proficient, with a strong Cantonese flavor, but Li Yuanqing and his communication is not too much of a hindrance.

"Just last night, Mr. morents, I got a bad news. You Spanish pirates, what Jack, have kidnapped more than ten cargo ships of the Chen family of Daming and their eldest son. The plot is very bad and the situation is very serious! I hope that, Mr. morentes, you can stand on the side of the Spanish authorities and the international morality and justice, urge jack, the executioner, to release him as soon as possible, to return the legitimate property of our Daming merchant and to compensate for all losses. "

"Eh? What? "

Morentes was stunned for a long time when he heard the speech. "Li, General Li, I, did I hear you correctly? You, you not only return the goods and people, but also compensate you for the loss? "

Li Yuanqing nodded with a smileMorentes could not help but smile: "General Li, you may not understand the situation in Southeast Asia. Jack, the executioner, was born in Spain, but he had already defected for more than ten years and was a vicious man. As for the Spanish government, we have been trying to attack it again, but it is cunning and insidious, and the firepower is very strong. We have no way to deal with it! "

"Ha ha! So, Mr. morents, are you not going to help Yuanqing? "

"Ah! General Li, you must not misunderstand! Well, it's not that I don't want to help you. Really, I can't help you if you want to! "

He said, fat face like a big balsam pear general, looking at Li Yuanqing.

But Li Yuanqing has noticed that there is a smug cunning in his small eyes!
