Chapter 278(1/2)

: Clothing net to drive fish

"Are you exhausted these two days? Since everything is ready, let Mr. Zheng urge the military weapon bureau to speed up production. You can rest in the past two days and don't run there every day. I have ordered the prefect Liu to allocate four times the wages to the military weapon bureau, and the craftsmen can do their work."

Yang Ling crossed his legs and took a sip of the tea ceremony.

"Well, I like to be by your side, but I was so bored when you handle official duties and had nothing to say to others. I was very comfortable when I went to the Military Weapons Bureau, and the workers there were all very good." Adni sat by the bed, took off her shoes, and changed her soft boots.

"Haha, if you stay in the boudoir all day, you will definitely be bored. There are fish in water, not only those craftsmen, I'm afraid Mr. Zheng admires you very much. I can't help but go in and out, you can go anywhere, but remember to bring the guards, the world is still not peaceful now."

Adni smiled sweetly and said in a nickname: "Don't worry, my sir."

She patted her waist, pulled out two exquisite short muskets and put them on the bed, and said proudly: "Look, I have transformed it. It turns out that the range of muskets produced by the Military Weapons Bureau is less deadly and accurate. With these two muskets in hand, no one can think it is close to me."

Yang Ling glared at her and said, "Don't be careless! Do you think the thieves in the Ming Dynasty are the same as yours, and ten or eight are gathered together, which is a sensation among the country. The Ming Dynasty has a large population, and there are at least hundreds of people who have formed a gang for the thieves. If someone really wants to make a decision, two muskets will not help at all."

After saying that, he pointed to the head of the bed and said, "By the way, change to the red one, your facial features are bright, and your colors are beautiful but not vulgar, which is very touching. Then take out the appearance you looked when you first met me, shrink and be at the mercy of others, that would be perfect."

Adni stared at him alertly and asked, "What are you going to do?"

Yang Ling laughed and said, "Today, Xuemao sent his eldest son to send me some Japanese prisoners and spoils. He knew that the sea dog gave me a beautiful Western beauty, and he was very favored. He was inseparable from both sides. I want to meet him, and you have to accompany me to perform a show, which will stimulate him, and Xuemao's desire to seek credit will definitely be even stronger."

Adni then suddenly realized, grimaced at him and smiled.

Yang Ling said again: "By the way, wealthy people such as Xu Jing and Wu Qingyuan are the most capable figures in the Jiangnan family who support our officials. Due to investment in shipyards, donating funds to suppress Japanese wars, and the tension in the East China Sea, sea transportation has almost stopped. The Xu family has actually had sea business secretly, and the losses are huge.

Now the war in the sea frontier is a little calm. Several wealthy people have prepared several ships of cargo and are eager to transport them to Luzon. With the escort of the navy, replacing the private armed forces of these maritime smugglers and exchanged for their political and financial support, is my established policy, and this is also the beginning."

"Yang, have you decided to use the navy to help him take this trip?" Adni said as she stood up. She hung her coat on the copper hook beside the bed, picked up the big red lake silk from the bed and replaced it with it, picked up the cow horns and combed her hair.

Her right hand raised, slightly looser than her armor. She exposed the crimson yarn strapless breasts inside the collar, and the plump breasts there squeezed out the graceful and firm hilly shape, making Yang Ling's eyes reluctant to leave.

"Well, the Xu family's silk, tea and porcelain make a great profit when they come down. When they return, they buy cypress, sandalwood, Luohuxiang, and even priceless ambergris, gems, glass and the 'Su Maliqing' used to color porcelain, etc., and they can eat it for a year after a boat.

Even if you give me a favor, otherwise it would be a big deal to lose the hearts of the gentry in Jiangnan. What's more, they were not far away, they were transported to Luzon and then transported out by people. The sea routes they passed were mainly white grass areas. The Western pirates in Luzon disappeared after the battle on Dulong Island and dared not move around again. I think the risk is not great. Besides, if there is no risk at sea at all, what should we do with armed guard fleets?"

Adni's eyes flashed. Her hands that were combing her hair suddenly stopped in the air, and her face changed slightly: "Yang. Do you... do you want me to lead the navy to help them transport goods?"

Yang Ling was stunned and laughed: "How could it be? I know you are an expert in sailing and fighting, a captain of the Royal Navy, haha. I am now rectifying the navy and military forces. These things are actually planned by you. Of course, people must know about the dispatch of troops. I will send you there? I will not be willing to do so. Even if there is a slight risk, I will not be willing to do it. If I am kidnapped again, wouldn't I go crazy?"

Adni said happily: "Yang, I have been there for two years with those pirates. I really have an inexplicable fear of Luzon, especially if you are not by my side. In fact, I am willing to do anything for you. If you decide to conquer the pirates, Adni will be willing to be your warrior!"

Yang Ling stood up and walked to her side, tied the buttons of the armor for her, and said softly: "You must be very familiar with their tactics. I will bring you with you at that time, but not as a warrior, but a general. The King of Portugal was so stingy that he had sealed you, a genius and beautiful girl, a little captain."

He smiled and said, "I will promote Captain Adni to general, a female general, General Ally Adni."

Adni's eyes became hazy, like a pair of charming cat eyes, shining with a tempting light.

She walked gently to Yang Ling, hugged him, rubbed his cheeks gently, and said softly: "Oh, I would rather... be Mrs. Yang Yali Adni as soon as possible. Yang, dear Yang, I love you."

Yang Ling smiled and said, "I love you too, Adnie, Your Excellency General!"

She is a stranger in a foreign land. With Adni's background, appearance, intelligence and talent, in the upper class of Western society, she is a beautiful baron who can call the wind and rain. In the Ming Dynasty, except Yang Ling, she really has no one to rely on and trust. At this moment, the true feelings are revealed, and that kind of attachment and love are all from the heart.

She doesn't know how to use her own capital to charm men, but the words of true love and the confused eyes can also touch people.

Yang Ling felt pity in his heart, and his lips gently collided together, his tongue twisted and sucked. His hands naturally slid down along Adni's smooth body curve.

Adni's sides bent gracefully to her waist tighten, and then to her hips rippled. The virgin buttocks were as compact and swelling as grouted fruits. Yang Ling grasped the two round balls. When her fingers touched it, there was a stunning elasticity in her soft, thick and thick ones.

Adni was panicked by his caressing. She enjoyed the kiss with Yang Ling, but the caressing of her body, such too intimate movements, is difficult for a girl who has never had a relationship.

Adni felt her heart beating and her feet were weak, and her legs were bent to the edge of the bed. She sat on the bed and then escaped from Yangling's devil's clutch. She glanced at Yang Ling shyly and muttered a few words in a slightly hoarse and magnetic voice.

Yang Ling rolled his eyes helplessly and said, "Don't talk to me about birds, what did you say just now?"

Adni shook her head shyly, thought about it and then smiled again, and glanced at him playfully, with a shame in his eyes. He said softly: "Yang, are you going to promote Captain Adni, or to push Captain Adni down?"

After saying this pun, she bowed and ran away from him. Only a string of cheerful laughter and Yang Ling with a wry smile were left in the room.

Fuzhou Wharf, Xu Jing, Wu Jiyuan and other wealthy merchant ships in Jiangnan were about to go out to sea.

On the sea, the boat plowed in blue waves and the waves splashed. Four six-masted sailboats belonging to the Snow Cat were sailing towards Fuzhou Port.

Eight new artillery warships were parked in the port on the upper and lower decks. The officers and soldiers, sailors and merchants were busy, and the dock was prosperous.

Yang Ling arranged the East China Sea pirate Snow Cat to be held captive and the Jiangnan giant merchants transported goods to sea on the same day, and at the same time showed a powerful navy lineup, which naturally had deep and important meanings.

The Ming army navy originally equipped three new types of ships, and used the captured Folang machine cannons to equip three more. In addition, the cannons built by the Nanjing Firearms Bureau and the Fuzhou Firearms Bureau day and night during these days, they fully armed eight warships.

Yang Ling ordered the Zhejiang Navy to send new warships to escort four large merchant ships from Xu Jing and others to Fuzhou, and then set sail from Fuzhou Port to sea. Of course, at that time, there were only two warships carrying new ships carrying new ship guns, and two ordinary warships.

At the same time, since these huge maritime merchant private ships originally had combat functions, the sailors on the ship were actually soldiers who were good at naval battles, so they did extraordinary things in extraordinary times. In order to be safe, Yangling allowed each of these merchant ships to be equipped with eight ordinary cannons.

Such a powerful firepower lineup can only compete with Western pirates with sharp firearms. Moreover, they must understand the accurate schedule of the fleet's round trip, the detailed routes they pass in advance, and send out more than half of the armed forces at the same time. When the caravan is willing to fight with them, otherwise with such powerful force, there will be roads everywhere in the vast sea. If the caravan wants to escape without fighting under the cover of warships, there is basically no risk.

The waves in the harbor gently patted the ship's side, and the porters were loading various cargoes and clear water, meat, rice, fruits, vegetables, etc. in different categories. Because of the serious consequences of going to sea, Peng Shark specially sent his eldest son with rich experience in sailing, Peng Dayong, a thousand-household Zhejiang Navy, as the captain, and the leader of the business group was Xu Lun, the second master of the Xu family.

Xu Lun was in his early thirties, wearing a straight lake silk and a square scarf, looking gentle and elegant. Peng Dayong was in his forties, with a black and red face, short and strong, calm and shrewd and strong. The two were with Yang Ling, He Bingwen, Han Wu and others, followed by the leaders of the various ships and a group of merchants.

"A trip to Luzon is not far away, but you have to be careful of natural and man-made disasters when you sail on the sea. If you encounter a storm, you may be drifting on the sea. Therefore, you must be careless when you should prepare the land."

Don’t look at Xu Lun as gentle as a handsome man. When the imperial court banned the sea, he was the owner of the Xu family’s smuggling ship. He was a scholar when he wore a robe, and was a bandit when he was barely married. Not only was he brave, but he was also more familiar with ocean sailing than the sea thieves such as Peng Dayong.

"Please look, in addition to the rice, grain, water, and fresh water, fruits, beans, etc. are also essential. Without these ocean-going sailors, the seafarers will get sick. Fruits should not be carried, so they will be made into dried fruits and candied fruits, as well as dried vegetables, pickled vegetables and beans. As for fresh fish, they can be caught at any time, so there is no need to prepare them."

Yang Ling nodded and smiled and said, "Young Master Xu has been traveling on a boat all year round and has rich experience. In this regard, we are not our navy director. You have to ask Mr. Xu to give me more advice along the way. In the future, our Ming Navy will sail around the world. If you don't pay attention to these things, you will suffer a great loss."

Xu Lun was flattered and quickly smiled and said, "It should be, it should be, I dare not ask the Lord to give me instructions. In fact, when traveling to and from Luzon, you don't have to prepare so much even when encountering a storm. Haha, it is mainly because the navy escorts and my brother was sorry, so he prepared more of these things. Because he was worried that some of the navy brothers would not like fish fish. Bacon and bacon were also prepared on the boat."

Yang Ling laughed and said, "If you join the army, you have to be a soldier. Mr. Xu should not be too spoiled by them. Once a boat runs down, if these soldiers are all fat and big-eared, how can they fight if there is a war in the future?"

He smiled and looked at Peng Dayong and said, "He raised his troops for a thousand days, and used troops for a while. Mr. Xu is kind to you. The safety of this journey will be entrusted to you."

Peng Dayong clasped his fists and said, "As the Lord's orders, my father said, I have to be careful about this boat. People are there. People are there, even if people are there, they must be there. We must not embarrass the adults or our Ming Navy."

Yang Ling patted his shoulder with satisfaction. At this moment, the prefect Liu hurried over and bowed to him, "Sir, the East China Sea snow cat presented Japanese prisoners and property to the Lord. Four large ships have been moored outside the port. Please allow me to see you."

Yang Ling waved his hand and said lightly: "Let him wait first. Come on, Mr. Xu. Please come here." As he said that, he walked forward calmly, as if he didn't care.

These Jiangnan merchants present privately sailed to the East China Sea and the South China Sea. Although they were rich and powerful, they also had weapons on the ships. In order to avoid trouble, in the past, they had to offer wealth to the four major enemies and Jin according to the rules.

They had long heard that Wang Meiren and Bai Xiaocao had joined the court. Now this navy is led by the eldest son of Peng Shark, the old leader of Putuo Mountain.

Now that the thief Xuemao has presented prisoners of war and spoils to the imperial envoy, there is no doubt that this person has surrendered. At least three of the four enemies in the East China Sea have accepted the court's envoy. It is reported that Haigouzi is also secretly discussing the recruitment with the court. It seems that the East China Sea will be pacified soon.

Today, we saw the Ming Navy's ships and cannons again. With such a powerful navy protection, where can we go to the ends of the world? In the future, the number of ships will be greatly increased, and the goods carried can be more prosperous. The profits are unimaginable. The merchants and wealthy gentry thought about this and were excited.

Some wealthy people who are usually too cautious turned out to be just Xu Jing. Wu Jiyuan and others actively invested in shipping and participated in the imperial navy, so they followed the trend to bet on some funds. They were still nervous because of this, for fear that the money would not be returned. Seeing this situation, they can't help but secretly regret that they had invested too little in the Longjiang Shipyard and the Jiangnan Maritime Office in the past, and they wanted to gain benefits from it in the future and lacked the capital to speak.

These people have a keen sense of smell and are good at learning from the wind and movements to find business opportunities. Now, seeing this situation one by one, they have begun to secretly plan and plan to invest more operating funds into Gu Dayong's yamen after returning to Suzhou and Hangzhou to seek the best interests.

Yang Ling stood on the dock with Xu Lun and others as if nothing had happened. Until the goods were loaded, they raised their anchors and sailed, and then they bowed and sent them away. A large boat set off slowly.

Yang Ling watched the fleet leave, and then whispered to Han Wu: "I'm waiting for him at the tea room of the purchase dock, and ask the pass to let them enter. There must be no difficulty or stopping them. Also, don't send troops to guard them, don't get on the ship for inspection, as long as you don't carry weapons, allow the sailors to get off the ship."

When more than ten warships were escorting several huge merchant ships, the Xuemaodi fleet was just passing by. The two black holes on the side of the Ming Navy warship were close at hand, which made the pirates frightened and their frivolous arrogance suddenly subsided.

Xuemao's surname is Wen, and his eldest son is Zhiyuan. Although this young master Wen has a good name, he is not as ambitious as his father hopes, but a guy with great ambitions and talent.

He is obviously a pirate, but he prefers art of elegance. He usually wears a light robe and a small fan in his hand. He always likes to be gentle and elegant, but his sharp-mouthed cheeks look like a monkey dress no matter how he looks.

He is the son of Xuemao. Xuemao's subordinates dare not disrespect him, but other pirates from the island gave him a nickname: Jianmaoer.

The barbarian came into the dock tea room accompanied by the navy general. When he saw that the governor was about the same age as himself, he couldn't help but keep his eyes open. Then he held a small fan in his hand and bowed deeply and said, "Little student Wen Zhiyuan, I have met the governor."

Yang Ling sat on the chair with genuine tea. A woman in red shirt was squatting there and gently pounding his thighs. When she heard him talking, Yang Ling raised her eyelids and looked at him. She waved her hand and said, "This is not a court, don't be polite. Come on, sit down, sit down."

As he said that, he handed the teacup to the woman in front of him. The woman stood up, her eyes lowered, and she gave him a quick look when others were not paying attention. She pinched his hand in the palm of his hand while she was picking the cup, then she took the cup and stepped aside.

The little cat said thanks for sitting in the side seat. When he saw that the beauty looked different from the Central Plains women. She had curly hair in black, had a high nose and deep eyes, and was pretty and unique, and her eyes were always there.

He thought to himself itchy, "I guess this is the Western beauty that Gou Lord gave to Yang Ling? It's really beautiful. Yang Ling brought her to the dock. It seems that Gou Lord really gave him a wonderful man, and we are really behind."

Yang Ling glanced at him and said, "I heard that the Lord of Snow Cat Island was attacking Japanese pirates everywhere on the sea, and his victory was extraordinary. I have already handed someone to the capital to ask for his memorials."

The little cat hurriedly calmed down and said respectfully: "The young master thanked the elders on behalf of his father, and his father was sincere in accepting the court's inviting peace. This time, the young master specially brought the captured Japanese people and property to the elders, and as the Japanese suppression became effective, there will be some contributions in the future. The imperial court would like to ask the elders for more good words."

"Haha, naturally, I just sent a caravan to sea, and you saw it. The members of the Guidao tribes are sailing on the sea all year round and waiting for the sea to be transported. The navy urgently needs talents in this area. If the Lord of Wen Island is good, I will recommend him to the emperor as the maritime admiral. What do you think?"

The little cat was so excited that he heard it. The real power of this sea transport admiral was so great that by then, the wealthy businessmen and wealthy dealings were all day long. They were rich and rich, and they brought some private goods to make money every day. Moreover, if the court really asked them to supervise the sea transport, they would have to be equipped with the two decks that they had just seen.

By then, more than a hundred ships in their homes were equipped with this kind of weapon. They could become officials when they advance and bandit when they retreat. Who can compete with such strength? If you use the sea transportation to transport oceans to privately accumulate people and build foundations overseas, you can use the financial and material resources of the court, and at sea, you will be independent of a country and do whatever you want. This kind of transaction is too good.

Yang Ling opened his mouth and wrote a blank check that would never be cashed. He opened the beautiful heart of the little cat, stood up and thanked him repeatedly. Yang Ling smiled and said, "It is rare that the Lord Wen Island is loyal to the court. I will accept the prisoner first, and then welcome Mr. Wen to the dust.

This is the first time that Jin has presented a gift, and Xuemao dare not be too shabby. In addition to tying up a large number of Japanese pirates with blood stained with their hands, they also sent a large number of Japanese families and property.

Yang Ling symbolically held a reception ceremony, and then ordered He Bingwen to take away all the personnel and property to deal with it. He then arranged a residence for Wen Zhiyuan. It was a luxury house for officials who had lost their land a few days ago, and gave him the luxury house with gardens and buildings, and handed over the land deeds on the spot.

As for the four pirate ships, they were parked in the port, Yang Ling did not send heavy troops to guard them, and secretly ordered Han Wu to loosen the outside and tighten the inside. As long as no one caused trouble, they would let them go ashore and return to the ship and go to the port, and would never stop them at all.

Although Yang Ling did not accompany him personally, he asked the Fuzhou prefect and naval officials to accompany Wen Zhiyuan for a banquet and took him to the horse and sedan chair. He was extremely enthusiastic about him and arranged several famous prostitutes from Fuzhou to stay with him in a good manner.

When the servants and guards saw him, Grand Prince Wen, they would always call him Prince and act like an adult. They respectfully coaxed a little cat to the point of being happy and felt happy.

Wen Zhiyuan lived in Fuzhou for three days before he reluctantly said goodbye to the island. After hearing Wen Zhiyuan's reply, Xuemao believed a little more than the words Ma Kongwen sent back. After all, it was his own flesh and blood.

He asked in detail about the movements in Fuzhou these days. He heard that military and political officials treated his son very well. Even though the pirate ships anchored in the port were not guarded by the officers and soldiers, they were extremely relaxed and finally felt completely relieved.

Yang Ling Yunuo's position as the admiral of the sea navy was like a handful of grass hanging in front of a donkey. He attracted the snow cat to stare at this position and do his best to suppress the Japanese pirates in order to please the court.

Wen Zhiyuan and Ma Kongwen were fueled by the fire, and a group of subordinates who had tasted the benefits encouraged the slander. He had regarded the dissatisfaction of Hai Gouzi as jealous and ignored it at all.

Linglong Cave is warm in winter and cool in summer, and because people live in it all year round, there is less moisture. On the stone bed, the seagull is sleeping soundly while holding a plump and white woman. His huge body is pressing against the woman, and only a smooth and fair thigh and a bright pink arm are exposed from under him.
