Chapter 308 Return to your own fief
Hearing his son's words, Tokugawa Ieyasu looked out the window for a long time and said, "Ie-kwang! The lord went south to Ojima, Manila, and Nuergandosi's troops were limited. Can it stop that man's footsteps?"
"This...!" Tokugawa Iemitsu pondered for a while and said, "Master Father! The Jingbei Army left and left behind by the lord had more than enough defense, but it was not enough to attack.
What's more, even the monks were dispatched this time, and they had never failed. Even if we dispatched, we might not... "
Tokugawa Ieyasu nodded again and said, "That's right! Even if we all go out, we'll just be a mantis arm to get a chariot!
So, all we have to do is wait, wait for the lord to return from the south, wait for the winner and defeat there, and wait for the reaction of the Ming Dynasty court.
Maybe this time is not a bad thing, but it is also an opportunity for our Tokugawa family to rise!"
...
Ododo, Folangji has been operating for many years, and has become a different look. Many Western-style buildings have risen from the ground, and Western barbarians can be seen everywhere on the streets.
There are thousands of people working in the shipyard near the port. In the cannon casting workshop not far away, the Flang machine craftsman directed the Ming people to work overtime.
I don’t know who shouted: “The expedition fleet is back!”
The busy people immediately put down their tools and ran towards the dock. Many Florian merchants waved their hands excitedly, knowing that the fleet would definitely bring back a lot of wealth.
As the ships in the distance got closer, the excited people on the pier gradually calmed down. What they saw were hard sails from China, without any shadow of the soft sails of the Galen ship.
The one who came back was not the fleet that went on the expedition? Who brought so many ships into the port?
Just as the crowd was puzzled, several smoke rose from a large lucky ship in the distance, and more than a dozen shells hit the people in the port.
The people waiting in the port were stunned. The shells tore the bodies of their companions around them, causing bloody storms among the crowd. The war really came to Ao Island?
"Run! The pirates have entered the port!"
After a brief moment of silence, the crowd immediately broke out in riots. Countless people ran desperately, just to get farther away from the pier.
At this moment, people no longer have the gentlemanly demeanor they used to pretend to be. They pushed and cursed each other. In order to escape as soon as possible, they would push down their companions in front of them without hesitation.
The lucky ship stopped at the dock, and the tall Lin Feng jumped off the sea boat first, pointed the escaped crowd with the ghost-headed sword in his hand, shouting: "Brother, can you! Kill them all except the Ming people!"
Thousands of pirates rushed into Ao Island and chopped down the Western barbarians to the ground. On this day, the entire Ao Island was crying.
When the Ming Dynasty government reacted and sent people to check, the pirates had already returned with full load. The prosperous Ao Island in the past was full of corpses and howling everywhere.
On the blue sea, a fleet was carefully marching against the coast, for fear of wind and waves overturning.
Lin Feng said happily: "Brother Zhang! You really have you. A trip to Ao Island has gained more than I have in more than ten years.
Why are we so anxious to rush back? There are good goods on the ship. We should find the owner of the nest to spread the goods as soon as possible!"
Zhang Taizheng had not much joy on his face, and looked at the sea in the distance and said, "Brother Lin! What is an Ao Island? There are more than a dozen ships of silver ships transported from Western barbarians in Manila, and that is a good thing!
We must arrive before Manila gets the news. If the Ganli Silkman gets the news and transports all the silver away, then..."
"Yes! I'll let my brothers speed up now. Let's unload all the goods in Qiongzhou and go to Manila immediately. The silver I got cannot just fly like this!" Lin Feng said hatefully.
Zhang Taizheng looked at Lin Feng's departure with a look of pity. When he turned to look at the sea, he turned cold and fierce, muttering to himself: "This is just the beginning. When you come with your men and horses, you get nothing. I wonder what your mood is?
Come to Qiongzhou to find me! I’ve left you a surprise where I can do it!”
...
Before Li Fan arrived at Ao Island, he heard about the looting of Ao Island. The name Lin Feng was also remembered by Li Fan. The pirate who almost captured Manila eventually fell under the joint encirclement of the Ming Navy and the Ganlisi people.
Everything now deviates from the memory, which should be the reason why my butterfly flaps its wings.
The combination of Lin Feng and Zhang Taizheng surprised Li Fan, but it was just an accident. In the face of absolute strength, all conspiracies will be destroyed.
Li Fan of Manila no longer wants to go. You can imagine that there is definitely no better place than Ao Island. What Li Fan can’t understand is, what does Zhang Taizheng need so much money to do?
And there is no hidden identity. Just appearing next to Lin Feng openly, aren’t you afraid of insulting the identity of a scholar?
Qiongzhou was a place where officials were exiled in all dynasties. Li Fan did not believe how much storm could cause, Zhang Taizheng, a outdated young master.
Without hesitation, Li Fan ordered the Jingbei Navy to turn and directly kill Qiongzhou. He wanted to see what Zhang Taizheng had to wait for him.
"Marty! Qiongzhou is the place of the court after all. Will we bring so many people there..." Deng Feihu asked hesitantly.
Li Fan smiled when he heard this, pointed at Tang Feng and said, "He! He, the general of Zhiyuan Qiongzhou, was granted by His Majesty. There is no problem returning to his territory!"
"…!" Deng Feihu rolled his eyes. What's going on with this reward? Marquis, you don't know what's going on!
Tang Feng smiled and said, "Marty! If you don't say it, your subordinates have almost forgotten the fact that there is a title. When you arrive in Qiongzhou, you must be here to enjoy your favor!"
"Get out! Don't talk nonsense. Think about how to catch Zhang Taizheng, the mouse, and let him hide in the dark to make trouble. It's always annoying!" Li Fan cursed with a smile.
Tang Feng slapped his chest and said, "Don't worry, marquis! When we arrive in Qiongzhou, we will use our fleet to block the strait. Unless Zhang Taizheng turns into a bird, we will not be able to fly out of Qiongzhou half a step!"
...
In Yazhou City, the prefect Wang Jing looked at the official document listlessly, unable to raise his spirit at all. Being sent to Qiongzhou to be an official is no different from exile.
Moreover, many of the exiled officials in Qiongzhou will be reinstated. He dared not offend any of them and served them carefully, for fear of offending others, so he would stay in Qiongzhou for the rest of his life.
While looking through the official documents bored, he heard a noise outside the government office. Wang Jing slapped the table with some anger and said, "Who is making noise outside the government? Why don't you drive it away quickly!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a servant ran in a panic and said, "Master, it's not good! Li Fan, the Marquis of Jingbei, rebelled and had already entered Yazhou. He was about to arrive at the government office!"
