Chapter 294 Delicious Pu Family

It’s still the same rule. If you spend 50 monthly tickets, please give me a message!

......

In the blue sea and blue sky, more than a hundred sailboats cut through the waves and drew white lines.

This fleet is walking along the coastline of the Liaodong Peninsula, and its destination is the port of Haijin Town in the Bohai Bay.

Haijin Town is part of Tianjin City in later generations. It is located on the south bank of Haihe River. It is a Haikou commercial port under Kublai Khan's jurisdiction and a hub for trade between Yanjing and Goryeo. Now it has become the place where the Mongolian naval army belongs to Kublai Khan.

This fleet that was rushing to Haijin Town was the remnant of Pu Shougen's fleet. Most of the more than 600 warships had been lost, with only about a hundred remaining, and they were still following Pu Shougen. Some of these ships originally belonged to the Pu family. Some were bewitched by Pu Shougen and Liu Xiaoyuan's sweet words, and wanted to go to the Mongols to gain a prosperous future.

A few days ago, Kublai Khan's decree was finally delivered to Goryeo. Pu Shougen was appointed as the Tongzhi of the State Administration and the Transportation Commission of the Capital, and ordered the Haijin Navy to ten thousand households.

Of course, this official position is very high, probably the deputy minister of the Ministry of Finance, the Minister of Transportation, and the commander of the North Sea Fleet in later generations.

However, Pu Shougen did not have a trace of joy in his heart. Needless to say, Kublai Khan's national service department was just a mess. Most of the land household registrations in the northern Han area were either under the jurisdiction of the Han marquis or distributed to the host kings. There were not many people under the direct jurisdiction of Kublai Khan. How much wealth could be extracted from it? As for the transfer envoy... Think about the current Mongolian civil war, you will know what kind of chores it is. And the ten thousand households of the Haijin waters were actually an empty name. In addition to the more than 100 warships brought by Pu Shougen, Kublai Khan had no boat to provide. As for the military expenses for raising troops, they were obtained from the taxes of the Haijin commercial port, which was naturally managed by Pu Shougen.

But Goryeo is about to fall into a war. What else can be traded? The current prosperous Haijin Town is probably in a turmoil.

But even if Chen Dexing kept trading between Goryeo and Yanjing, how could Qingzhou be compared with Quanzhou?

The cabin sways gently. This ship is the Great God. The cabin is very spacious and ventilated. The window is also decorated with Venetian glass, which allows you to enjoy the scenery of the sea through the glass.

Pu Shougen sat at the wooden table, closing his eyes to rest. He pondered about the future of the Haijin Water Army and his own, but the scene of Quanzhou always appeared in his mind. I don’t know what happened in Quanzhou? Who are the houses, businesses, and wharfs that the two generations of the Pu family have built in Quanzhou now?

It is impossible to save it. No matter how many friends in the officialdom of Istark have, they will not jump out of the Pu family at this time... Because the Pu family's sins are not intercepting Chen Dexing at sea, but the property of tens of millions of yuan!

As long as the Pu family's property was swallowed, the poor court in Lin'an would have been able to live a few years of relaxed life. If there were no corresponding maritime force, the Pu family would have been completely eaten up.

"Damn Chen Dexing. Damn Pagan, you will definitely go to Hell, you will be tormented by the fire forever!"

Pu Shougeng gritted his teeth and cursed Chen Dexing hatefully, and Chen Dexing was also sitting on the boat heading to the sandbank at this moment. He was surrounded by Zhao Fu, Deng Mingchao and Huang Zhishen's father Huang Shi'an, three people, discussing how to divide the Pu family's industries.

"The Lord. The Pu family is a piece of fat. In the past, it was because the Pu family had force at the sea that no one dared to touch them. Now the sea is no longer the Pu family. After all parties have found out the situation, it is time to quit. We cannot miss it!"

The person who spoke was Deng Mingchao. He was a famous scholar in Changguo and lived near Dinghai Commercial Port. He knew the wealth of maritime merchants and the covetousness of their wealth by the court officials.

Zhao Fu shook his head: "There must be many people staring at the Pu family's industry. It may be difficult for us to talk? We have no force in Fujian after all!"

"I don't want any property, field, shops and various property on the shore of the Pu family. I just need Penghu and Danshui to occupy a small island along the coast of Guangnan East Road. In the future, I will pay taxes for merchant ships entering and leaving Quanzhou, Mingzhou and Guangzhou."

Chen Dexing talked about his wishful thinking. The money from Haimao and other things was too slow, and he was not a businessman, so he could not do business. It would be better to directly guard several major trade ports in the Southern Song Dynasty to collect taxes!

After occupying the Penghu controlled by the Pu family and the Danshui Manufacturing Company, which was developed by the Fujian Maritime Warehouse, Chen Dexing defended the Taiwan Strait. Naturally, he could ask for money from the passing merchant ships - it was a bit like the underworld collecting protection fees! In addition, he also wanted to build an island near Guangzhou, Hong Kong and Macau were also good. In short, just pay for money by guarding the Pearl River Estuary.

"There are dead soldiers on the sea ships, so this money is not something you want to collect." Huang Shian shook his head and reminded.

The maritime merchants are not only capable of force as long as the Pu family. In this era, as long as the maritime merchants are, they can fight! In a sense, Zhu Yuanzhang carried out maritime bans to kill such merchant armed forces in the bud.

"I know, I will dispatch fleets on the coastal islands of Penghu and Guangdong!" Chen Dexing slapped the table, "Send gunboats! First, modify them with the captured large spindle sailboats, each ship is equipped with 12 3-inch bronze cannons. If anyone doesn't want to pay taxes, it will be knocked into pieces and knocked down!"

The Pu family's large spinning boat is built with a strong size and large enough to carry cannons. Moreover, this kind of ship is originally used to run oceans and is much better than Chen Dexing's gallopy. Moreover, the speed of the spinning boat is also faster than that of the Chinese lucky boat. After being loaded with cannons, it will be the best fast cruiser of this era.

Huang Shian shook his head: "These spinning sailboats are difficult to control. All the crew members are from the Tianfang Sect and will not hand over their abilities at sea to the Han people."

"I, let Zhang Jiu solve this problem. He is the best at reasoning and will definitely convince those people."

There are many "those people". The captured people are only part of them. There are also many Han ferry bandits and pirates, some of which were captured at sea, some of which were drifted to Jeju Island and then caught by Chen Dexing people. There are more than a thousand people who were led by a ferry bandit leader named Zhou Xiaoqi to join the city of Jeju. There are a lot of people together, and there are almost ten thousand people.

Before Chen Dexing left Jeju Prefecture, he issued an order to establish a concentration camp, which was directly managed by the Dayi Department, and sent all prisoners of war to the concentration camp for ideological transformation. After the transformation is completed, the young and strong among these people will join the Northern Expedition Army.

Of course, during the transformation process, they must also engage in glorious labor and construction. And Zhang Jiu, Zhang Hongfan, is now the chief officer of the Jeju Island Concentration Camp...

Huang Shian thought for a while and nodded: "With gunboats here, collecting taxes will never be a problem. However, the Pu family is a centipede, so they are afraid of death and not stiff. If they retreat to Nanfan and rely on the island to rob passing merchant ships, it will be very troublesome."

Chen Dexing sneered slightly. This matter is actually not troublesome at all. As long as he follows into Nanfan, tries to tribute and occupy Java Island, everything will be done?

...

"Pingzhang Gong, an urgent report from Zhejiang Coastal Equipment Department!"

Weng Yinglong strode into Jia Sidao's capital and respectfully handed over the document he had just received.

Hearing his words, the two chess players in the capital room of the Zhengshi Hall moved their bodies. Jia Sidao quickly dropped the chess piece and looked at Chen Huaiqing, who was playing chess with him. He saw that Chen Huaiqing's expression remained unchanged, but he just looked at him with a smile.

"What's the matter?" Jia Sidao understood seven or eight in his heart. Chen Dexing must have occupied Jeju Prefecture, Goryeo!

"Pingzhang Gong, Zhejiang Coastal Control Department reported that the naval battle that occurred in the Dinghai Sea a few days ago has been confirmed to be a complete victory for the Northern Expedition Army! Thirteen days ago, the Northern Expedition Army had occupied Jeju Prefecture, Goryeo."

Jia Sidao glanced at Chen Huaiqing and asked tentatively: "The Pu family in Quanzhou... is over?"

"There are endless dishes," Chen Huaiqing asked in a low voice, playing with a chess piece, "Ping Zhang Gong, do you eat it?"

Jia Sidao smiled and said, "Eat! How can you not eat it? Quanzhou Pu family, after eating them, the warehouses of the Ministry of Revenue will be full."

He looked at Chen Huaiqing regularly: "How is it? You can do some too?"

Chen Huaiqing sneered: "How can I get this blessing? How to eat this plate of Pu's dish is not something I can say!"

Jia Sidao's face was a little gloomy: "Why, the son still wants to reach out to Quanzhou?"

"I don't know this." Chen Huaiqing looked at Jia Si with a smile, "I only know that there is no warship with my son, and no one can bite the Pu family's dish!"

"Quanzhou cannot let the son in!" Jia Sidao shook his head suddenly.

Chen Huaiqing smiled and said, "Then you have to tell me that he will return to Shazhou soon. Why would Gong Pingzhang send Liao Qunyu with him?"

Jia Sidao thought about it and nodded: "Okay! But let's make an agreement first... Quanzhou cannot let the Northern Expedition Army enter no matter what!"

"What about other states?"

"Not even possible. As long as it is a prefecture and county directly under the imperial court, the Northern Expedition Army cannot advance!" Jia Sidao said firmly.

Chen Huaiqing nodded with a smile: "So what about my son’s wedding and the princess? Can the court send officials to congratulate each other?"

"This can be discussed," Jia Sidao nodded, "The official can prepare another gift... The princess's title can also be added. The Supreme One means to enfeoff Zhou and Han princesses."

"What about my son Defang and Gong Ping Zhang's marriage after his daughter?" Chen Huaiqing's tone was deep.
