cotton!

Su Ze's eyes lit up, he looked at Haihou'er eagerly, and asked quickly: "Master Hu, are you going to sell this batch of cotton to Songjiang Mansion?"

Haihou'er spat out and said: "What a bullshit! Last year, Songjiang Prefecture was destroyed by Japanese pirates. I heard that Songjiang Prefecture was burned for three days and three nights. All the looms were burned out, and more than ten thousand weavers fled in all directions.

Most of it was stolen by Japanese pirates."

As for the Japanese pirates from the sea trade faction, Haihouer, they also deeply hate the pirates from the predatory faction who disrupt the economic order and plunder wantonly.

These people have made the southeast a mess, making it impossible to do business properly.

Moreover, these bandits went crazy and wanted to rob their companions. The fighting between the Japanese pirates at sea was even more cruel than the fighting between the Japanese pirates and the Ming army. This is why Zhang Haihu retreated to the open sea.

However, when Su Ze heard Hai Houer scolding Japanese pirates, he still felt something was strange. Wasn't he also a Japanese pirate?

Nanpi Island is close to the coast and has fresh water. Once Lu Dawang invades Fujian, he will definitely capture Nanpi Island first as a frontline base.

Although Zhang Haihu also had several large ships, they were all for sea trade and could not compete with King Lu's warships.

Giving up on Nanpi Island at this time would be the way to lose the least. Once this wave of Japanese pirates have plundered enough, they will naturally retreat, and it will not be too late to return to Nanpi Island at that time.

Su Ze couldn't help but feel sad when he heard Hai Hou'er talking about the tragic situation in Songjiang Mansion. You must know that Songjiang Mansion is now a prosperous mansion in the south of the Yangtze River. It is a major cotton and silk textile town in the south of the Yangtze River.

's hometown.

Such an important economic town was robbed by Japanese pirates, and all the looms in Songjiang Mansion were burned down. Only then did Su Ze deeply feel that the Japanese pirate rebellion was not a simple record of a few lines in a book, but a tragic disaster for countless people.

Su Ze came to his senses and said quickly: "In that case, can Mr. Monkey sell this batch of cotton to us?"

Haihou'er rolled his eyes and said, "This batch of cotton has one hundred dans, and I'll give you one or two and a half cents of silver for each load. How about that?"

Su Ze immediately compared the prices in the "Appraisal" skill, and then snorted coldly and said: "Master Monkey is so insincere, this business can no longer be negotiated. You can only sell this batch of cotton to Songjiang Mansion for only one, two, or three per load.

Do you think we, the Seventh Master, are being taken advantage of by sharing the money?"

Now Haihou'er knew that Su Ze was knowledgeable, so he had no choice but to relent and said, "In that case, how about one or two cents of silver per load?"

Su Ze continued: "Cotton has been at sea for a long time, and it cannot be used after being exposed to salt gas. Our Seventh Master is helping Master Hu share the worries, so we can forget about selling it."

Haihou'er then relaxed and said: "One tael of silver per load, no less!"

"make a deal!"

"If you still deliver the goods here after seven days, you will receive both money and goods."

After Haihouer left by boat, Zhu Qi was so paralyzed that he could no longer stand.

"It's over, it's over, the Deer King is here!"

Zhu Qi wailed. He didn't cry so hard when he was captured by Su Ze.

Su Ze frowned and asked, "Stop crying and tell me where this deer king came from."

Zhu Qi then said: "This Deer King is a real Japanese leader under Monk Mingshan. He comes from Kagoshima at the southern end of the Japanese country, so he calls himself Deer King."

Su Ze understood now that this King Lu was probably the real leader of the Japanese Rongrants under Xu Feng.

There was a lot of debate in historians about how many of the Japanese pirates were real Japanese. In later generations, some self-media even proposed that only 10% of the Japanese pirates in the Southeast were real Japanese.

Of course, there is a source for this. The "Wuxue Chapter" written by Zheng Xiao in the Ming Dynasty said for the first time, "Most of the thieves are Chinese, and only one-tenth of the Japanese slaves are Japanese."

However, this statement is only Zheng Xiao's rough inference, and "Wuxue Pian" itself is not an official document, but was compiled privately by Zheng Xiao. In fact, it is not very reliable as a historical material.

Moreover, the records in "Wuxue Pian" are different from those in many local chronicles. In fact, there were not many real Japanese pirates among them.

In many materials, certain Japanese pirate leaders will be called Daiwang or Xiaowang. This type of Japanese pirates are basically real Japanese, and this deer king is a real Japanese from Kagoshima.

These real Japanese were all wandering warriors from the Japanese country, or some pirates and bandits from the Japanese country. They originally only crossed the sea sporadically to invade the southeast. During the Jiajing period, they mostly attached themselves to Wang Zhi or Xu Feng and began to attack the Ming Dynasty in an organized manner.

Southeast region.

This deer king led troops to attack the southeast many times, plundered more than a dozen coastal towns, and even bombarded the city of Fuzhou. He was famous in the southeast. No wonder Zhu Qi was frightened when he heard his name.

trembling.

"How many people does King Lu have under his command?"

Zhu Qi said with a trembling voice: "There are a thousand people!"

Su Ze was speechless for a while, why did thousands of people scare you like this?

The Yanping Guard of Yu Zongyuan's family had 5,000 regular soldiers. Fuzhou City was where the Fujian Dusi Yamen and the Fujian Beiwa General Headquarters were located. There must be more soldiers than the Yanping Guard. There were actually 1,000 Japanese pirates suppressing them.

beat?

Zhu Qi said quickly: "All the Lu King's men are real Japanese! The real Japanese are so numerous that they are invincible! This Lu King is very vengeful, and anyone who offends him will be wildly revenged by him! The last time Fuzhou City was bombarded,

A Baihu sent troops to block the Lu King's fleet, and the Lu King turned around and destroyed that Baihu!"

Su Ze was furious and said: "The imperial court did not encircle and suppress such a ferocious beast, but allowed him to commit crimes at sea?"

Zhu Qi sighed and said: "Not to mention the siege. Fuzhou was besieged, and only one hundred households dared to send troops to rescue, and they were destroyed by King Lu. After that, the Ming Dynasty navy took a detour when they saw King Lu."

Su Ze knew that the Ming Dynasty was bad, but he didn't expect that the Ming Dynasty was so bad.

A mere thousand people actually frightened the entire southeast into peace!

After returning to Changning Guard with his head covered, Lin Mojun was wearing a hood and standing in front of the family temple.

She felt the dull atmosphere in the team and asked, "Is the transaction not going well?"

Su Ze nodded first, then shook his head, and then walked into the family temple side by side with Lin Mojun.

"Zhang Haihu is about to withdraw to the outer sea. They got the news that King Lu is going to attack Fujian."

Hearing King Lu's name, everyone in the family temple exclaimed, and even Lin Mojun's body trembled slightly.

When he just mentioned King Deer, Su Ze felt that something was wrong in the atmosphere. When he mentioned this name in the family temple, the atmosphere in the entire family temple seemed to solidify.

Even the usually calm Aunt Ninth asked in a sharp voice: "Are you talking about the Deer King?"

Su Ze nodded, only to see Aunt Ninth say with a worried face: "What should we do?"

Su Ze realized at this moment that it seemed that Chang Ningwei and the Lu King had an entanglement. He quickly asked: "Auntie, does this Lu King have a grudge against Chang Ning Wei?"

I only heard Lin Mojun say coldly: "Revenge for killing my father."

Su Ze was stunned for a moment. It turned out that the Baihu who Zhu Qi mentioned before was killed by King Lu in front of the Fuzhou Army was Lin Mojun's father, the previous Baihu of Changning Guard!

Su Ze felt that the atmosphere was getting colder, and Aunt Ninth said quickly: "Hundred households! The Japanese pirates are powerful, so we need to take a long-term approach!"

Lin Mojun laughed miserably and said, "Agu, don't worry, I won't lead the guardsmen to die."

Aunt Ninth breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Let's quickly tell Fuzhou Dusi and General Si Yamen the news so that they can take precautions."

Lin Mojun nodded and said: "I will go back to Baihu to write about the military situation. Agu, I will go back first."

As soon as Lin Mojun walked out of the door, thunder rang out in the changeable weather in Hunan, Fujian, and raindrops as big as soybeans fell from the sky, hitting the colorful tiles of the temple, making the sound of pearls falling on jade plates.

Su Ze put on his raincoat and another set of raincoats. He held a lantern and chased Lin Mojun out, and soon caught up with Lin Mojun who was lost in despair.

The rain fell on the brim of her hat and wet all her clothes. Su Ze quickly handed over the bamboo hat and coir raincoat and said:

"Baihu, don't catch a cold."

Lin Mojun came back to his senses, put on his raincoat and bamboo hat, said thank you, and walked ahead in silence.

Su Ze followed, and the two of them walked to the front of the Hundred Household House one after another.

"Do you want revenge?" Su Ze suddenly stopped and asked.

Lin Mojun stopped and turned to look at Su Ze. The rain curtain blocked the line of sight between the two, and Lin Mojun could only see the light on Su Ze's hand.

"Even the elite guards trained by my father couldn't defeat the Deer King, so how can I fight him?"

Su Ze said: "Do you still remember what I said? It's not about having more soldiers, it's about being good. If you can win with more soldiers, then the Fuzhou Guards will not be suppressed by King Lu in Fuzhou City."

Lin Mojun raised his head and looked at Su Ze and said, "Are you sure? My father died in the war back then, and the Changning Wei family is very filial. We can't let my family's personal enmity cause the Wei Institute to bleed anymore."

Su Ze said sternly: "This old man died to protect the people of Fujian, so how can it be said that it was a personal enmity? This is the hatred of the country and the family, how can we not avenge it!?"

"Baihu, let's go in and talk."

Lin Mojun looked at the raindrops on the bamboo hat and quickly led Su Ze into the Hundred Household House.

Although Su Ze was wearing a raincoat, the rain was so strong that his shirt was soaked.

When Su Ze took off his raincoat, Lin Mojun quickly turned around and said, "I'm going to get some clothes. Mr. Su, please put them on first so you don't catch a cold."

Lin Mojun ran into the room in a panic, took out a set of clothes from her father's wardrobe, dragged the little carrot Lin Liangjun out of the bed, and told him to hand it over to Su Ze.

Then he ran back to his boudoir, changed into a new set of clean clothes, and then put on the veil again to meet Su Ze.

At this time, Su Ze was already sitting in front of the brazier to warm himself up. Little Carrot Head had finished delivering the clothes and had already gone back to sleep while rubbing his eyes.

Lin Mojun felt a little embarrassed when a man and a woman were alone in the same room at night.
