The sun never sets in the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 757
The five hundred Dongjiang soldiers who participated in the smuggling saw the prosperity of Huangjiawan Island. Not only did they spend a few days there to eat and eat well, they also had the opportunity to watch a theater to broaden their horizons. in the status quo?

When Shang Keyi organized the second smuggling, the Lushunkou soldiers clamored. They unanimously demanded to participate in the smuggling and demanded that Kong Youde should have a fair bowl of water, and everyone must share in the benefits.

This is human nature, don't worry about the few but the unevenness, no one will make irresponsible remarks when everyone is not good, when five hundred companions come back from the sea and their family's life is much better immediately, the others immediately become angry.

Too many Dongjiang soldiers think that even if they don't have the opportunity to engage in entrainment to earn money, they can go to Huangjiawan Island to open their eyes and watch a few big plays.

No way, in order to appease the anger of their subordinates, Kong Youde, Geng Zhongming and others had to adopt the method of going to sea in rotation to show fairness.

As a result, more troops stationed at Lushunkou were promoted by the "Nanming" propaganda team, and they all had the opportunity to go to the Huangjiawan Island Grand Theater to enjoy several entertaining and educational plays.

Although the dream-like days in Huangjiawan Island were only three or five days, they had stimulated too many former Dongjiang soldiers, and most of them were no longer willing to be content with the status quo.

Kong Youde's confidants in the smuggling team went back and reported what they saw and heard. Only then did Kong Youde realize that something was wrong. If the smuggling continued, the soldiers under his command might sell themselves too.

The Dongjiang soldiers at Lushunkou took turns to run three times to Huangjiawan Island, and there was nothing to say. The rest of the people who hadn't had their turn were still waiting. After inquiring, it was their Commander Kong who ordered a strict investigation of smuggling. Who would dare to go out to sea without authorization? Kill without mercy.

After enjoying the sweetness, they were suddenly forcibly stopped. The soldiers complained a lot. Many people came to complain to the two brothers Shang Keyi.
The former soldiers of Dongjiang Town were ready to move, and the two brothers Shang Keyi added fuel to the flames. It was only a matter of time before this Han army was disintegrated.

Several generals even proposed a plan to suddenly turn around and seize Lushun's defense, and quickly contact the "God of War" to take over.

Brother Shang Ke stopped the excited soldiers and asked them to act as if nothing had happened, and do what they should do, and they will naturally notify everyone to take action when the time comes.

Kong Youde's ban on the sea is also a lot of thunder and rain, but it is just to correct the mistake of arranging soldiers to go to Huangjiawan Island for business in turn, which made more soldiers feel uncomfortable with the status quo.

As long as the influence of the paradise-like life on Huangjiawan Island can be reduced as much as possible, Kong Youde still urgently needs smuggling trade to improve the living conditions of himself and his subordinates.

Smuggling other people can't be played, because Shang Keyi regards the green dragon flag that can avoid the attack of the "Huaxia Navy" as a treasure, and no one will borrow it.

Shang Keyi made it very clear that the person who gave him the Qinglong Banner was his old friend Zhang Youlu, who is now the Earl of "Nanming", Lord Zhang only recognizes his words, and Shang Keyi doesn't show his face, only the Qinglong Banner can't do any business.

No matter whether Kong Youde, Geng Zhongming and other generals are willing or not, Shang Keyi is also the best candidate for smuggling.

The two brothers Shang Keyi and Shang Kexi decided to make a fortune in silence. They went to sea in a low-key manner to exchange food and daily necessities, and they also gave a lot to those who should have given to Kong Youde.

It turned out that stationing near the sea at Lushunkou was precarious, because seeing a large number of Qing army activities near the sea, the "Huaxia Navy" would fire a few shots from time to time when passing by, and now Shang Keyi has the Qinglong flag given by the "God of War" to hang it no longer Will be shelled for no reason.

Shang Ke's Yi Brothers are generous when they have money. Too many old acquaintances have received relief, and the living standards of their direct descendants have improved a lot. Their status has gradually risen.

The Shang brothers not only sold the "Nanming" products obtained by smuggling in Lushunkou, but also sold them in Jinzhou, Fuzhou and other places.

The enthusiasm of the impoverished and backward Jiannu to buy imported products from the "Southern Ming Dynasty" is just like the people's desire for foreign goods in the early reform and opening up period.

Those who are "poor" will only be ordinary people, and those with vested interests will not be poor. The gold and silver robbed by the military nobles of the Manchu Qing Dynasty will certainly have high purchasing power, and the righteous smuggling trade will certainly make money.

Due to the long-term economic blockade, too many Manchu and Qing military nobles in Liaodong have a backlog of special products such as Korean ginseng, velvet antler, and mink fur. Small quantity.

The Dongjiang soldiers who were willing to bid for a large number of these commodities came, and the Eight Banners of the Manchu and Qing Dynasties changed their attitude of contempt for them. Everyone respected the Dongjiang soldiers who came to trade.

Shang Keyi and Shang Kexi took their confidantes to the inland of Liaodong to source goods in person. They were also inquiring about Jiannu's military intelligence. Of course, they were also sparing no effort in spreading rumors and causing trouble...

The Manchu and Qing missions who came to Huangjiawan Island did not see Nanwang and Wangfei Hexiang. Whether Manchuria was a country is another matter, but there was a Ming traitor "Nanming" in the mission who could not accept it.

A group of wolf-like "God of War" soldiers raided the residence of the Manchu and Qing negotiating delegations. No one protested, and everyone obediently accepted the interrogation.

Soon the traitors Zhang Wenheng, Meng Qiaofang and a dozen of their followers were identified, and the "God of War" soldiers immediately tied them into rice dumplings and knelt on the ground.

Abatai, Gang Atai, and Gernen, the military officers leading the team, looked at each other, of course they did not dare to draw their swords at each other.

Ge Ernen boldly asked: "I don't know why the military masters are doing this?"

Qin Huai, who led the team, announced loudly: "Everyone is their own master. I understand that this time I didn't mean to embarrass you. It's just that the Nanwang of my family hates traitors the most. Zhang Wenheng and Meng Qiaofang are all ministers of the Ming Dynasty. Today they dare to speak out Wouldn't it be self-inflicted to set foot on the homeland of Ming Dynasty?"

Meng Qiaofang kowtowed like pounding garlic and said, "General, I have been wronged. How dare I return to Daming when I was ordered to go to 'Nanming' as an envoy!"

Qin Huai sneered and said: "Didn't you set foot on Huangjiawan Island? Isn't this the homeland of the Ming Dynasty? As for whether you have been wronged or not, I don't care about it. I believe that if you are sent to the capital of the Ming Dynasty, the prison will give you an explanation."

Zhang Wenheng was so frightened when he heard that he would be sent to the Imperial Prison that he collapsed limply, his lower body smelling so bad.

Meng Qiaofang continued to kowtow and broke his forehead. He yelled hysterically, "General, please spare me! General, I beg you to put your hands down and let this official survive. I am willing to serve 'Nanming' from now on..."
