The waves hit the big ship, causing the hull to rise and fall. But for those who have been walking on the sea for many years, walking on the boat is like walking on the flat ground.

Huang Cheng, a Guangdong sea merchant, stroked his beard, held the ship's side with his hands, and looked at the vast sea with thoughts.

"Uncle." Zheng Zhilong came over, handed a telescope to his uncle, and said, "Will you be suppressed by Li Dan and Yan Siqi when you go to Shanghai?"

Maritime merchants also divide the gangs, such as Zhangzhou Gang, Quanzhou Gang, Guangzhou, etc.

Huang Cheng smiled, took the telescope and raised his eyes. After a while, he put it down and said, "Yi Guan, the sea is so vast. Even Li Dan and Yan Siqi can dominate the world?"

"Besides, now the court is the leader, and they cannot cover the sky with one hand." Huang Cheng said in a deep thought: "The trick of serving books and inserting flags is amazing, and it is extremely clever to give titles to return home. I didn't expect that even a huge evil like Li Dan would be subdued."

Zheng Zhilong's nickname is an official. At the age of seventeen, he was struggling with his brother to Xiangshan Ao (Macau) and traveled to the sea with his uncle Huang Cheng.

During the business process, Zheng Zhilong was influenced by the Portuguese and was baptized by Catholicism. His religion was named Nicholas Gasbad, also known as Nicholas First Officer.

Zheng Zhilong is also a language genius, not only Minnan and Portuguese, but also Japanese, Dutch and Spanish.

Hearing his uncle's sigh, Zheng Zhilong didn't care and said, "The court plus Japan, Li Dan had to change to Nanyang if he wanted to resist. How could he give up his career that he had been running for many years?"

"Besides, Li Dan seems to be powerful on the surface, and how many maritime merchants are attached to him, not absolutely loyal." Zheng Zhilong pursed his lips and sneered a little, "If he doesn't know the current affairs, the huge power will fall apart."

Huang Cheng looked at his nephew with a smile, and smiled: "The official can see clearly and understand. Li Dan knew that this was the case and accepted it. It was because he saw the opportunity quickly, but he took the lead and was appreciated and valued by the court."

Zheng Zhilong agreed with this very much, and he sneered in words, but he also admired Li Dan's decisive judgment.

"The court wants to recruit those who are proficient in various languages. Does the official intend to try it?" Huang Cheng looked at his nephew with some anticipation and said, "Maybe this is an opportunity to make a fortune!"

Zheng Zhilong pondered but did not answer immediately. Huang Cheng did not urge him. He patted his nephew's strong arms, then turned around and looked around with a telescope.

The court is very different from before.

My uncle's idea is of course that he hopes that he can make a name for himself. Some people in the court are easy to be an official, and maybe he can take more care of himself in future business operations.

But Zheng Zhilong fell into deep thought and did not think clearly whether he should go.

…………… Dividing line………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

Starting from June and July of the second year of the Tianqi revelation, changes were gradually felt everywhere in the Ming Dynasty.

However, some people don’t feel it very obvious, while others just feel it is serious.

Opening the maritime ban and putting books and flags on the sea merchants is extremely touching, and they either actively or passively participate in the process of reshuffle;

The Qingtou recharges the salary and grants land to officials, which gives many military households and ordinary farmers arable land and hope to live;

Martial arts training and training of new army influenced the officers and soldiers from north to south, and also changed the composition and combat methods of the Ming army;

From the central government to the local government, the dismissal and demoted officials also shocked the Ming Dynasty's political arena with an astonishing speed and number.

But those who understand know that this may be just the beginning, and there will be greater and more policy measures in the future.

In fact, there are greater changes in Shaanxi, Henan, Shanxi, and Northern Zhili, or it can be used as a preview of other places.

Looking at the head hanging on the city gate, Zhao Huaili, a thousand-household guard of Yulin, swallowed vigorously, lowered his head to urge the horse to enter the city.

The court's three-month grace period has passed, but no one expected that severe punishment would be to be beheaded for public display.

The head of the city gate was the Yulin governor. He "invaded the military land and occupied the land in secret, and his grandparents followed one after another, and he occupied it freely. He should take grain in the garrison without taking the grain..."

In other words, this garrison official should have been lucky and thought that the occupied military farm had become private property for a long time and should not be found out.

But he and some people were wrong. As soon as the deadline arrived, they were taken down by soldiers at the meeting held by the Governor Zuo Guangdou. The Jinyiwei read out the imperial edict and immediately introduced the beheading without delaying at all.

Immediately afterwards, news came that King Zhu Cunshu of Qin was ordered by the emperor to be escorted to the capital by the Dongchang Fanzi.

If the Guantun official's head is not enough, then a vassal king will be added. The court's severe punishment will suddenly and sharply fall.

In fact, that's all. Although there are killing invading officers in Henan and Shanxi, there are not many.

But as soon as the news spread, who dares to continue to "resist strictness"?

The invading officials and gentry, who were broken by luck, immediately rushed to the governor's office as quickly as possible, and cried and begged to return the fields, for fear that they would be severely punished if they were one step too late.

Zhao Huaili witnessed this scene and was still heartbroken that he handed over the military farm. But when he saw the dead heads cut down and the ugly appearance of the officials and gentry, he felt glad and even a little happy.

This is how people always look at the gains and losses of others to weigh whether their decisions are correct.

If there was no such severe punishment, Zhao Huaili would definitely regret it and blamed himself for being timid and thought about getting it back in the future.

But when he saw those lucky guys who were in trouble, he admired his wise and decisiveness, abandoning his land, but he was safe and saved his life.

When they arrived at the military service in the city, many military officers had already arrived. Zhao Huaili stepped forward and greeted the officers who were familiar with him.

"Mr. Sun is promoted again." Someone whispered, "Now is the commander-in-chief and the governor of Shaanxi military affairs."

Zhao Huaili immediately raised his ears, he really didn't know about the news.

"Qingtun pays well, and the court rewards it!" Someone smacked his lips enviously, "But, this holy family is really nothing. Lord Sun has just been in Shaanxi for more than half a year, right?"

Mr. Li Qian touched Zhao Huaili with his elbow and said, "The You family has two promising prospects. I heard that Lao Wang is going to send his son to martial arts. Have you thought about going to the capital to martial arts?"

Zhao Huaili chuckled twice and said, "Your news is inaccurate. Why did you hear that Lao Wang returned the farmland and was so angry that he couldn't get up in bed?"

"It's not my own, so why don't you still wait to lose your head?" Mr. Li Qian shook his head and said, "Besides, can we warriors get angry because of that little thing?"

As he was talking, a sound of horse hooves came from far away, attracting everyone's attention.

Yes? It’s Mr. Wang Wei. How could this mental head look like he is sick? And Mr. Hou, why did he come out too?
