Southeast of Quanzhou City, Chess Park.

This is the place where Pu Shougen played beautiful chess in the past. Thirty-two beautiful women each held red and black chess cards and listened to the orders of the chess players to advance and retreat... On that day, who wouldn't be proud of going to the chess park to compensate Pu Shougen to play a beautiful chess game?

Unfortunately, the prosperity of the past is no longer there. Now there are only thirty-two beautiful houses in the chessboard garden, which are empty. The chess pieces and beauties are all famous and have their own masters and belong to others.

Pu Shougen is currently being held by a young man and walking by a huge stone chessboard. This young man is also a sensual eye, and looks a bit similar to Pu Shougen, and is his eldest son Pu Shiwen. Now Ma Shoushan, the leader of Quanzhou Fans, is his father-in-law. Pu Shiwen has been hiding in the Ma Mansion in recent years.

"Sir, the opportunity is here!" Pu Shiwen just arrived at the Qipanyuan from Ma Shoushan Mansion, which was actually the Ma family's property. After the Pu family was confiscated, it was purchased by Ma Shoushan.

"The traitor of the Heavenly Dao Sect is in the Heavenly Dao Temple outside the city!" Pu Shiwen looked excited, "The sun and moon flags were publicly fired, and crossbowmen were arranged on the walls of Taiyi Palace..."

"How many people have gathered?" Pu Shougeng interrupted his son.

"It is said that more than 10,000!" Pu Shiwen said, "Although the number of disciples in Quanzhou's Heavenly Dao is far more than 10,000, most of them are Qianxin Han merchants and sailors. They join the sect just to please Chen Ni. These people are so dispersed that they cannot gather together. What is really available to Fang Yumen is his old brothers fighting with the martial arts world. Although there are many skilled martial arts, they do not know the art of fighting formations at all and cannot defeat the Mamruk soldiers."

The Tiandaoism in Quanzhou was originally divided into classes. Most of the people who transferred from the Ming Cult were from the lower class. They were either sacred people who lived on the water for generations and made a living by fishing fish and shrimps and collecting pearls. They were also tycoons and proletarians in Fujian. They were basically "rogue proletarians" who had no industry. However, those who later joined the Tiandaoism were mostly maritime merchants and bows. There were many people with millions of family funds.

The proletarians of the Tiandaoism led by Fang Yumen and the Tiandaoism bourgeoisie, the evil evil Ji Laozhei in the south sea, have never had much contact. Moreover, the "bourgeoisie" of the Ji Laozhei is not as united as the "proletarians" of the Fang Yumen. They are all competitors. Harmony is just superficial. Fighting each other is part of daily life.

In contrast, the Tianfang Cult merchants in Quanzhou are much more united. They are basically united. Even a tyrant businessman like Pu Shougen would rather cheat Jia Sidao's money than damage the interests of the Tianfang Cult merchants in Quanzhou.

"Use Mamruk?" Pu Shougeng smiled, "Ma Shoushan would not be so rash. Now the Han people we hired are the Han people... Most of these Han people do not believe in religion, and they are not one with us after all, and they cannot take them to the Three Buddhas."

"Go to the Three Buddhas?" Pu Shiwen frowned, "Our Pu family really wants to go to the Three Buddhas?"

"It's not just the Pu family. All the believers of the Tianfang Sect in Quanzhou are leaving." Pu Shougen smiled bitterly, "The Heavenly Daoists of Taiyi Temple are easy to deal with, Chen Dexing's Sir-Jewelry and Eight Banners soldiers are really powerful, even Mamruk can't beat them."

"Even Mamruk can't do it?" Pu Shiwen was stunned for a moment. He had seen Mamruk's mercenaries these days.

Each of them has good martial arts skills, can skillfully use scimitars, axes, spears and bows, and good skills on horseback. These Mamruks were sold to sultans or chiefs of the Ayubic dynasty since childhood, and were made into warriors after years of rigorous training!

Chen Dexing's lord soldiers and the Eight Banners soldiers have only been in force for a few years. How can they compare with them?

Pu Shougeng sneered: "I also know the good martial arts of the Mamruks, but fighting is not a martial arts competition. I don't talk about the skill of fighting alone. No matter how good these Mamruks are, they will still be beaten by the Mongols in the west? Otherwise, they wouldn't be hired by us and traveled thousands of miles to the Song Dynasty to be mercenaries."

"But I heard that in the West, Egypt's Sultan Hudus Berbas, once defeated the Mongols." Pu Shiwen was well-informed, and he actually heard that although the history of the Battle of Ain Jialu had changed, the Battle of Ain Jialu still happened, but the time was different and the result was almost the same.

But he was so timid that he retreated without being injured, and did not lose his life. The Mongolian army suffered less losses. It was not that the entire army was wiped out, but at least two thousand people fled back. However, Damascus was still captured by the Mamruk army. Hulagu's expansion in the Dashi period also came to an end.

"Don't have any fantasies," Pu Shougen sighed. "The Egyptian Hudusi. Berbas Sultan has 12,000 Mamruk soldiers, and they are all the best Mamruks. Their opponents are only five Mongolian Thousands of Man teams. We have more hands? Only five or six hundred people, and we want to stop Chen Dexing's tens of thousands of troops?"

As he spoke, he shook his head. The decision of the Tianfang Cult maritime merchant to evacuate Quanzhou was made by the Tianfang Cult Chamber of Commerce at a secret meeting. This was the highest secret. The participants all vowed to the True God not to disclose the secret. Even Pu Shiwen knew nothing before today. Now the reason why Pu Shougeng gave his son a briefing was because the time had come for the time to reprimand the Tianfang Cult merchant in Quanzhou!

...

"Hu Awei, you bring 1,000 people to guard the main gate!"

"Master Ke, you bring 1,000 people to guard the back door."

"Chen Sihu, you will also bring 1,000 people to guard the wall in the east."

"Hello Xu Mi, you bring 1,000 people to guard the walls in the west."

"Tang Laosan, bring 1,000 archery-shot people to guard the tower at the four corners of the Taoist temple, and lift the crossbow up the bed."

“…”

At the same time, Fang Yumen was wearing a shiny steel armor and sitting in Taiyi Temple with a golden sword, setting up a war for his disciples.

There were about 10,000 people in the Heavenly Daoist who gathered in Taiyi Temple. There were ten thousand people who had been divided into Fang Yumen. The most elite thousand people were personally controlled by him and acted as reserve teams. They were all strong men with persistence. The other nine thousand teams each assigned thousands of men and centurions, which were crafted into ranks. Weapons and paper armor were also distributed. Taiyi Temple was originally a stronghold for rebellion and uprising. It was not only very strong, with tall walls and thick gates. There were also wooden platforms for standing people behind the walls, and gate towers were built for front and back gates for easy defense. In addition, there were also weapons and war equipment hidden in the Taoist temple, including armor, leather armor, paper armor, various crossbows and thunder, which could arm tens of thousands of people!

Such a large amount of military supplies scattered among the people. In Chinese history, only the three major ports of the Song Dynasty, where maritime trade was extremely developed, would exist? The direct driving force for the civilian possession of a large number of prohibited weapons is of course the demand for maritime trade. Because at this time the sea was a lawless place, and maritime merchants and pirates were basically integrated. Merchant ships without military equipment would definitely be stolen. Therefore, before the country's navy can completely control the sea and wipe out pirates, maritime merchants must have force. And cities or countries where a large number of maritime merchants gather will inevitably have extremely strong civilian force.

In a sense, the bourgeois revolution in Europe in history was also the inevitable consequence of the strong financial and military power of the people. Anyone who has money and guns would want to further participate in state management.

In the late Southern Song Dynasty, Pu Shougeng was able to cause rebellion in Quanzhou, which to some extent was also a "bourgeois revolution". Unfortunately, the Quanzhou Tianfang Cult merchants led by Pu Shougeng were never the Chinese bourgeoisie. By the way, Quanzhou was not without the merchant armed forces that supported the Southern Song Dynasty. The most famous of them was the Xu family marshal group headed by Xu Hanqing and Mrs. Xu.

As for the later Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties, the biggest reason was to suppress the force of the national maritime ban. The handicrafts and wage labor in the Ming and Qing dynasties were very developed, and in most of the time it surpassed Europe in the same period. It was nonsense to say that there was no bourgeois germination. However, this kind of germination was always under the destruction and oppression of the feudal dynasty, and it was difficult to thrive. The reason for this is not because the feudal dynasty in China did not respect private property, but the maritime ban policy that began in the Ming dynasty disarmed the merchants!

The lost merchants naturally have no capital to protect their property safety, and have become accessories to the literati and official groups, and it is even more impossible to further get involved in the regime.

However, it is still the Southern Song Dynasty when armed maritime merchants are rampant. Most of the international ports in Quanzhou were strongly armed merchants. Some of them still entered the Tiandaoism and bought the "Ming Shang" with a gentry status. Although these merchants looked down on the Shisanlang of Yumen who was born in the grassroots, they did not dare to disrespect Mo Yingniang.

"There are 500 Mamruks? Don't worry, I brought the 300 bow and cavalry guards of the Ming King, and they will deal with them!"

"Quanzhou group training? Humph, Fang Yumen will lead them over. He has already raised the flag in Taiyiguan."

"Your Highness, Your Highness, has arrived in Penghu and has stationed troops on Magong Island. The entire Nanyang Fleet and half of the Beiyang Fleet are coming together, and there are hundreds of gunships alone!"

In the Ji Mansion mansion in Quanzhou City, Mo Yingniang was talking to a middle-aged man with white face and long beards and gentle erotic things about taking over Quanzhou.

This man is the evil evil spirit of the South China Sea. The name of Ji Laozhe is actually inherited from his ancestors. His family has been a pirate (of course, it is also a maritime merchant) since the Three Kings of Kaimin (the late Tang Dynasty) and has been passed down for more than 300 years. And the twelfth generation of Ji Laozhe is now a twelfth generation, and he has been named a evil spirit of the South China Sea at the age of 30. Obviously, he is not a good bird.

Under his leadership, the Ji Family Maritime Merchant Pirate Group has firmly ranked first among the Han Chinese Maritime Merchants in Quanzhou. It has a thousand sea ships of all sizes and sizes, and has raised 600 dead soldiers and 20,000 servants. (To be continued)
