The sun never sets in the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 756
Zhang Youlu became murderous, and the Jurchens in the delegation could be released, and none of the traitors who came to the door would be spared.

All of them were arrested and sent to the capital of the Ming Dynasty to be dealt with by the imperial court. Presumably the traitors who had surrendered in civil and military affairs of the Ming Dynasty would die in the hands of the emperor.

Shang Keyi knew that the chief and deputy envoys of the Manchu Qing Mission were traitors, and nine out of ten of their entourages were also Han Chinese, so he said, "The Enslavement Mission has arrived in Lushun, and there are several Han officials in it, my lord will not be empty-handed .”

Killing a few big traitors is nothing more than throwing grass and beating rabbits. Zhang Youlu didn't take it too seriously, and said with a smile:
"It's just counting a few scumbags of the Han people. It's disgraceful. The general should collect as much information as possible from Liaodong and send it. Jiannu's deployment of troops in Lushunkou and Jinzhou must be investigated in detail."

Shang Keyi said very seriously: "My lord, don't worry, these things can be done in a lowly position."

"When you go back, keep a low profile. You must not be targeted by the Jiannu spies. You can use Kong Youde's eagerness to smuggle and trade."

"Beizhi understands, I still want to have the opportunity to follow Nanwang to make contributions, so I won't get carried away."

The important matter was settled, and Shang Keyi was relieved like a heavy burden. The wine was drained, and Zhang Youlu was also very happy to receive the unexpected joy delivered to his door.

Wine is really a flavor enhancer that draws the distance between people, Shang Keyi is no longer restrained, chatting about the rumors and gossips in Liaodong, and telling the fate of Yue Tuo and Hong Chengchou as a joke.

Zhang Youlu's face turned pale from drinking, and he said with his tongue out, "What, what? Before my army moved, Jiannu scared Yue Tuo and Hong Chengchou to death? Isn't this too mysterious? I don't believe it."

Shang Keyi drank so much that his face was flushed with sweat, he directly wiped the sweat with his sleeve and said in a rough voice:

"It's absolutely true. It is said that when the king of the South was about to send his army to the Northern Expedition, when the slave chieftains were discussing matters, the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty were silent. Talking to himself was like losing his soul, and he hanged himself within a few days."

"Liaodong is spreading this now?"

"Isn't it? It's well-known. I later inquired specifically about it. That Yue Tuo really died in that court meeting, and Hong Chengchou really committed suicide."

"Ah? Haha, hahaha..." Zhang Youlu laughed out of breath and said, "Whether they were scared to death or not, let's take it seriously and it will greatly boost the morale of the Ming army and our army Helpful, very effective in demoralizing enemy troops."

With a single word to wake up the dreamer, Shang Keyi slapped his thigh and said: "Wonderful, Sir is really brilliant, I admire him, whether it is the truth or not, let's assume it is, and let the subordinates go around talking nonsense after I return, to fight for it." Make it known to all.”

"Haha, building slaves is not as good as before, and my 'God of War' troops are far more powerful than before. They are invincible. Come, come, come, General Shang will have another drink."

"My lord, I'm afraid I won't be able to do it if I'm too weak to drink in a humble position..."

Shang Keyi and Zhang Youlu one blushed while drinking and the other turned pale when drinking, and in the end they turned pale and turned red. Shang Keyi fell drunk and couldn't wake up no matter how much he screamed...

Three days later, Shang Keyi and his servants were sent back to Lushunkou by the "Huaxia Navy". Shang Keyi got a big flag embroidered with green dragons, and he would hang this signal flag when going to sea in the future so that he would not suffer from the "Huaxia Navy" attack.

Of course, Shang Keyi's smuggling boat cannot sail freely, but can only be sheltered under the guidance of the "Huaxia Navy" according to the established route.

When Shang Keyi returned to Lushun City, he was warmly welcomed by the former generals of Dongjiang Town. Many old friends came to inquire about the current situation of Huangjiawan Island.

Some servants also showed off the melon and fruit snacks they secretly hid in their bosoms.Hearing that the soldiers and civilians of Huangjiawan Island live like gods, the Qing army in Lushunkou couldn't help shedding halazi.

Many people took the initiative to sign up to escort the mission to Huangjiawan Island, and they even thought they would never come back.

Kong Youde didn't know that the morale of the army was fluctuating. When he formed the escort, he didn't send a single man. Instead, he chose to appoint soldiers with family members, and strictly ordered those who failed to return after the time limit to kill their family members.

Shang Keyi looked at Kong Youde's behavior coldly, and sneered in his heart. He thought that if more old Dongjiang townsmen went to Huangjiawan Island, these people would never be loyal to the Qing Dynasty and Kong Youde again.

Shang Keyi and his younger brother Shang Kexi had a showdown. He told Shang Kexi that his old acquaintance Zhang Youlu was in Huangjiawan Island, and now he is the Earl of "Nanming".

Shang Kexi’s life has been similarly aggrieved these years. Seeing that his elder brother has found an opportunity to abandon the dark and turn to the bright, he is overjoyed. Knowing that Zhang Youlu has grown from a thousand bosses to an earl, he is very envious. Fight back when necessary.

Their brothers also have a title in Jiannu, and they are kings, but they know that Jiannu's bullshit king is nothing, and is just a dog slave in front of the nobles of the Eight Banners.

The Manchu and Qing missions were finally able to leave Lushunkou, and since Shang Keyi was the instigator, he was once again offered to escort the missions on the road.

All seven surviving sentinel boats at Lushunkou were launched, and ten unarmed No. [-] blessing boats were sent from Huangjiawan Island on business trips.

The [-] soldiers who were strictly selected by Kong Youde, Geng Zhongming and others brought some Liaodong specialties such as ginseng and mink fur collected over the years on board.

Of course, the five hundred former Dongjiang soldiers who came to Huangjiawan Island were not free men. They could only trade with designated merchants in designated areas. No one could travel freely. They were all collective actions, and meals and entertainment were arranged in advance.

Even so, Dongjiang soldiers five hundred years ago felt that they had reached the sky in one step, and the days on Huangjiawan Island always felt unreal, like a dream.

Five days later, Shang Keyi returned home safely with seven sentry boats, without losing any of his soldiers, and exchanged for cotton cloth, rice, white flour, West Wind Liquor and other supplies.

Anxious Kong Youde was overjoyed when he saw the real benefits, and the smuggling had a clue. From now on, the life of stationing at Lushunkou will no longer be difficult.

Little did they know that the hearts of the five hundred soldiers had already dispersed and it was not easy to lead the team. These people secretly hid good things such as Dongzhu and ginseng in their bosoms, and these entrainments were sold at Huangjiawan Island for a good price.

Dongjiang Bing knew that Lushunkou's business was in decline, and even if you had money, you couldn't buy decent things, and the price of a small amount of things on the market would be astonishing.

With silver coins in their hands, they would of course enjoy shopping in Huangjiawan Island, where there are a lot of goods. Everyone spent all the silver coins and bought back a lot of daily necessities.
