2. The Hungry People Run East
Xinna Tadaemoto, Yoshihiro, and Yoshihiro were both people who had experienced wars. The experience on the battlefield was much older than these rabble people, so they all saved their lives in the chaos.
Although the Jinshan Village was scattered, the thieves in the famine were easily dispersed and gathered. In just one day, a new leader was produced among the refugees, and many people gathered under his command, reaching 300 people! Xin Na Zhongyuan also sat in the third seat.
This group of thieves did not dare to invade the Xu family easily, but turned the conflict to other villages first and came to the Nanhuizui area. They cooperated with the other two thieves. The number of people exceeded 1,500! The new leader was stronger than the old leader of Jinshan Village, and he had five real Japanese under his command! In addition, there were four or five imitation Japanese knives and seven or eight sets of Japanese clothes. Seeing that Xin Na Zhongyuan was mighty, the new leader asked him to shave his hair, put on Japanese uniforms, wear Japanese knives, and "pretend" Japanese pirates.
Shinna Chumoto put on his clothes and wore a Japanese sword. It was so majestic. The new leader asked him to be the leader of the five real Japanese. When there was no one else, Shinna occasionally spoke. The five real Japanese heard him speak Japanese language, and they heard that he was really a warrior. The crowd was surprised and they all obeyed his command ever since.
After the group of people became strong, they wanted to attack the Xu family again. Some people said that the other party's bird gun was powerful. The new military advisor said: "They have bird guns, and we have Japanese swords!" So the plan to attack the Xu family emerged again. However, out of caution, the thieves contacted the other two groups of thieves and agreed to attack at night in three days.
Yoshihiro and Shinna Tadaomoto said: "We can't stay here anymore. We have to find a way to leave and go to Fujian!"
Xin Na Zhongyuan asked: "Do you have an idea?"
Yijiu said: "I want to go and report to the Xu family and sell the group of thieves to the Xu family to make preparations. We also take the opportunity to get in touch with him. Did you hear that day? The Xu family's governor seems to be Li Xiaolian's teacher! If we get into his relationship, we can't say we can meet Li Xiaolian!"
Xinna Zhongyuan felt it was reasonable, and Yoshihiro and Yoshihiro sneaked out that night. They were children, and no one paid attention to him. Yoshijiu slipped to the Xu family weaving factory and told the Xu family's butler about the plan of the thieves to attack the Xu family weaving factory and the scale of the thieves. The butler was shocked and rushed to discuss with his little master Xu Fan. Xu Fan was seventeen years old and had a flexible mind. After a young age, he experienced hardships. In addition, Xu Jie was protected by the officialdom and Li Yanzhi supported him in the shopping mall, so he made the weaving factory's business prosperous at such a young age! At this time, he heard the news, and worked with a few old family members to carefully consider Yoshijiu's words, and contacted some recent news, and finally confirmed that the news was probably not fake!
The Xu family took action overnight that night and contacted the officers and soldiers and their friends. The thieves attacked that night and touched the near the weaving factory. Suddenly, the lights in the factory were lit up. The officers and soldiers, salt people and township heroes rushed out together. The officers and township heroes were just scary, but the clothes were scary. The armed salt people and township heroes were extremely difficult to mess with. The thieves were in chaos and stepped on each other, and another big defeat!
In the chaos, Xinna hid with five real Japanese people, stripped a few dead clothes in the dark and put them on, cut her hair into pieces, and she no longer looked like a Japanese person. Then, according to the original plan, she waited for news from Yoshinori at the agreed location.
Xu Fan was victorious and was very grateful that he wanted to reward Yoshihiro Yoshihiro. When asked what he wanted, Yoshijiu knelt down and cried, "Young Master Xu, we don't ask for anything else, we just want Mr. Xu to think of a way to send us back to our old master."
Xu Fanqi said: "Old Master, who is your old master?"
Yoshijiu said: "It's Li Xiaolian from Fujian. We are the boys who serve Li Xiaolian on the sea, but we were separated when we were in Japan and drifted all the way here. We wanted to find our old master, but who knew we were wandering among the thieves."
Xu Fan said ah and thought to himself, "I don't think it's fake. Otherwise, he, a little boy, would have known about Brother Li?" When he looked at Yoshihiro Yoshihiro again, he saw that although they had a good face and were ragged, their words and deeds were etiquette and were not like ordinary village children. He believed it even more, and said, "It turns out that you are Brother Li's people. Brother Li really didn't say that. Not only did he treat me like a brother, but his subordinates were so attentive to me! You are so smart, Brother Li must be very anxious after they are separated. Don't worry, I will definitely try to send you back."
Yoshijiu was overjoyed and said, "In addition, there is a guard of the three young masters and five sailors who are also separated with us. We were wandering to the thief camp together. That night we discussed that we would report the message, and they were waiting for us at the agreed place."
Xu Fan nodded and said, "So that's it. I miss you two little kids, how can you come from Japan to the Ming Dynasty? It turns out that there are adults who follow you." He sent someone to pick up Xinna and six others. Seeing that they were majestic and wore Japanese swords, he also knew something about Li Yanzhi. He knew that there were warriors in his corps who were good at sword skills, and he also had several imitation Japanese swords produced by the Li family secret factory! He had no doubts in his heart and said, "I just happened to write a letter to Brother Li, so you can take it to me." He wrote a letter to Yoshihiro, and sent a family member who had been to Fujian to take them back to recognize his master.
The Xu family said, "They are afraid that they will be suspicious in the way."
Xu Fan asked them to dress up as servants, and Yoshihiro Yoshihiro dressed as a boy, traveling south.
With the blessing of the great Zhu Yuanzhang, the official road in the Ming Dynasty was very developed. Yoshihiro Yoshihiro had no serious identity and did not recognize the way, so he became dizzy after entering the Ming Dynasty. At this time, someone who knew the way was led by someone, and he could walk the official road openly in the name of a servant of the Xu family. It was only a matter of going to Fujian.
Unexpectedly, good things went wrong again on the way, but this time the problem lies with Xu Laiwang, the Xu family.
Xu Laiwang has been to Fujian twice, and he has very experience on the road, but the bad is his experience! Originally, from Songjiang Prefecture to Fujian, there were official roads to walk along the way, but the official roads were on land. They were servants, and they had no sedan chairs and no horses to ride. On the way, Xu Laiwang went to Fujian twice, and the first time he took the land route, which made him bad. On the second time, he changed to the water route, first went to Jiaxing, took a boat to Shuangyu, and then changed the boat to Yanyu. This route was arranged by the Li family, and the wind was right at the time, so the journey was safe. After entering Yuegang, the people from the Li family respected him from Xu Jie Mansion, and immediately arranged a sedan chair for him and carried him directly to see Li Yanzhi!
After eating the sweetness once, Xu Laiwang didn't want to suffer anymore. At this time, he was ordered and without thinking, he took Yoshihiro Yoshihiro and others to Jiaxing to take a boat.
Although this time it was not the arrangement of the Li family, Xu Laiwang, the smuggling ferry in Jiaxing Mansion, recognized that the old boatman at the ferry also remembered the origin of Xu Laiwang. It was difficult to refuse, so he carried them across Hangzhou Bay and to Shuangyu. On the way, he encountered seven or eight groups of pirates. The old boatman shouted, "This is Li Xiaolian's man!" Then three groups stopped the attack, but there were still three or four groups who didn't know who Li Xiaolian was. They came to rob them as usual. Fortunately, these were all small pirates, so they were all repelled by Xin Na Zhongyuan and others.
The old boatman sighed: "This world has changed, changed! You are here last year, and you will be here to ensure smooth traffic! But now it is not possible. Not to mention that Li Xiaolian is far away in Fujian, even Xu Longtou, who is close to Shuangyu, and the owner of Wufeng, can't scare these Qingtou young people who have just gone to sea by relying on their reputation."
Yoshijiu asked, “Why can’t you be scared?”
"Because they haven't heard of it, I can't be scared!" said the old boatman: "Now there are people who have no food to eat everywhere. The fields seem to be confiscated. I heard that there is food to eat at sea and money to make money, so I came here. There were indeed quite a few people who made money at sea in the past two years, but there were only so much money in the world and so much food. Suddenly, more than ten times more people came, so where could they get enough? So they started fighting and became messy. Now, whether it's the owner of Wufeng or Xu Longtou, everyone is taking care of themselves!"
Yoshijiu asked, "Will the Ming government ignore it?"
The old boatman laughed and pointed at Yoshiki and said, "It was from the master's house that he said such things. Haha, government, haha..." After laughing, his face turned dark again, looking at the mainland, and murmured to himself: "Business is getting harder and harder now. I don't know how long I can eat this bowl of rice. When I really don't have any business, I will also steal it like those young and young people? But how can I steal this old bone than someone else..."
When we arrived at Shuangyu, Yoshihiro Yoshihiro came to the Tongli branch gate again. At this time, more people came to join the Li family. The Shuangyu branch gate was almost crowded! But only Xu Laiwang could enter.
Yoshihiro Yoshihiro was originally worried that the other party would recognize him and expose the scam, but Tongli's guy had to deal with hundreds of people almost every day, so how could he remember them? Zhang Yue, who was staying in Shuangyu, heard that he was from the Xu family, did not dare to neglect him, so he quickly arranged a Haicang boat to send them south.
At this time, the wind was not smooth. Fortunately, it was sailing near the sea. The boat was sailing in all directions. In addition, it was helped by oars and oars, and went south with the word "It was not fast". Although the speed was not fast, it finally arrived in Penghu before June.
The person sent by Zhang Yue said to them: "This is Penghu, and there is the third young master's disciple Chen Lichang. Anything that happens, Chen Lichang will arrange it."
When Yijiu waited to enter Hong Kong, Penghu was busy.
It turned out that Fujian also suffered a drought. How far has the disaster reached? "History of Ming Dynasty·Five Elements" only said gently and cleverly, "Huguang, Jiangxi drought. In the 24th year, the south, north capital, Shandong, Shanxi, Shaanxi, Zhejiang, Jiangxi, Huguang, and Henan all drought." How many corpses were paved with this terrible word "drought"?
Take Hui'an County, Quanzhou Prefecture, which is separated from Penghu River as an example. According to the Hui'an County Chronicle, this year, Hui'an has reached the point where "many people starved to death and their bodies abandoned the road"! A large number of hungry people rushed around and looked for food everywhere, and changed in a hurry and chaos arose. Public security issues have led to many poor families on the verge of bankruptcy going bankrupt early. Under the cycle of evil, the situation has become worse and worse! Most of these hungry people who are struggling to become bandits nearby, and a small number can support fleeing famines from their hometowns.
So where are you running away? Penghu! Master!
"I heard there is food there!"
It is in this context that a large number of hungry people rushed here with their families! Although they were separated by a strait, this could not stop them! If they didn’t have a big boat, they would take a small boat, and if they didn’t have a small boat, they would jump down with a piece of wood! Some people even swam directly!
How could the merciful Chen Yuting ignore this situation? So he sent someone to receive them. Anyway, Penghu had accumulated a lot of food, and these foods were originally intended for commercial purposes, so they were used to help the victims. Chen Yuting calculated the calculations and Tongli was in Penghu, the warehouses in the three places of Yuegang were enough to cope with this drastic change and support the victims to the coming year!
It is undeniable that Chen Yuting is indeed a person who does practical things. Although he is young, he has strong organizational skills and is very good at handling government affairs. The hungry people who flowed into Penghu became orderly under his arrangement. He gave the hungry people food, so everyone followed his instructions - this is a very simple survival logic! After the first person abides by the order, he told the later generations the rules. In addition, there were hundreds of armed soldiers to maintain order, so although the number of people landed on the shore was increasing, Penghu was not at all confused.
However, there were suddenly thousands of people in the small Penghu. As the head of government affairs, Chen Yuting was busy! This is how it is. After hearing that the Xu family sent people, he immediately took time to receive them. After meeting, he asked Xu Laiwang: "Young Master Xu sent you here, what I want to say is an urgent matter?"
Xu Laiwang said: "I believe I haven't read it, but it shouldn't be an urgent matter."
Chen Yuting said, "If this is the case, then you don't have to go to Youxi anymore. The third young master is not there. Now maybe in Fuzhou, maybe in Quanzhou, or maybe in Yuegang. But he wrote to me, saying that he would come to Penghu in the near future, so you might as well wait for him here. It's very messy now. If you go to Youxi, you're afraid you'll missed it with the third young master in the middle." He pointed to Yoshihiro Yoshihiro behind him and said, "Who are these?"
Xu Laiwang said in surprise: "Aren't these boys who were separated from the Li family in Japan, guards?"
Chen Yuting was stunned and looked at Yijiu. When Yijiu came, he had already found out that Chen Lichang was in power in the Li family and was a person who could speak in front of Li Yan. He cried and knelt down and said, "Chen Lichang, we are actually using the Xu family's young master to ask for Li Xiaolian."
Xu Laiwang was shocked and pointed at them and said, "You...you are liars..."
Chen Yuting also heard something strange, so he called the guards first, watched them, and then pointed at them and asked, "Who are you? How dare you steal into Penghu with the name of the Xu family!"
Yoshihisa said: "We are actually from the Shimazu family..."
Chen Yuting was shocked when he heard this: "Shimazu family?!" (To be continued. If you want to know what happens next, please log in. There are more chapters, support the author and support genuine reading!) (To be continued)
