Chapter 239 Wanli's Wuxun Group

Yan Zhongji read the content of the imperial decree in disbelief, then pondered for a moment, then turned around and bowed to Qi Jiguang: "In that case, I will say goodbye to the late student! Please ask Marquis Qi not to say the same thing today."

Yan Zhongji walked outside after speaking.

"what happened?"

Yang Xie, Xie Sidan and others who came to Qi Jiguang's place all stood up and looked at Yan Zhongji in astonishment.

Yang Xie also asked a question.

Yan Zhongji suddenly smiled wryly: "We really think too much, let's go, if we stay any longer, we will just be treated as a joke."

After hearing this, Yang Xie, Xie Sidan and others had no choice but to say goodbye to Qi Jiguang.

"Wait!"

But at this time, Qi Jiguang stopped them.

Yan Zhongji stopped first, then turned around and cupped his hands in a bow, and asked cautiously: "What else can I teach you, Marquis Qi?"

"Go back and tell those people behind you that since the king of Qin knows about Heshibi, it can only belong to the king of Qin. Since the court decided to open the sea, they should accept the court's arrangement for Haili in the world, and don't think that they can really do it. Keep it from the court!"

"If you want to trade, you can only trade formally, and you can't smuggle. You must go through the customs of the imperial court. In addition, you must have a trade agreement. Otherwise, once the navy becomes a pirate and robs them, the imperial court will not avenge them."

"In addition, they can't go to places that the imperial court has not approved for trade. Once they go there, they will be treated as navy masters and traitors. The court will not avenge them, and will even record merit for the navy master."

"As long as they trade honestly, the legal goods will be returned to them by the church, and the shops will also be returned to them, within ten days at the latest;"

"If they break the contract, they can impeach the commander; but all the goods prohibited by the imperial court will be confiscated!"

"The commander-in-chief knows that none of you dare to claim it, but you have to tell the people behind you to make up for the tax on the smuggled legal goods as soon as possible, and don't really want to save that little tax by giving up all the smuggled goods. "

After Qi Jiguang said that, he waved his hands and said, "Go away!"

"you!"

"Yes!"

After meeting these people, Qi Jiguang invited generals Yu Dayou and Chen Lin, and told them about Yan Zhongji's negotiation.

After Qi Jiguang told General Zhu Zaiwa about this, he said: "Old General Yu and General Chen are in command of the Fujian and Zhejiang naval forces. They must be very clear about how profitable this is for the Japanese trade. I have recently seized the goods. With more knowledge, it is possible to earn a million taels from a shipment of goods."

Yu Dayou and Chen Lin just smiled.

The two of them had actually participated as navy generals, so they knew it well.

But because they are military officials and under the control of civil officials, they cannot directly participate in smuggling, and can only share some benefits from the smuggling gentry group, otherwise they will be impeached and punished.

Qi Jiguang also knew it well, so he continued: "It's like having a table of good food here. In the past, the Japanese and the local gentry shared the food. We warriors will only be given the leftover soup."

"But the situation is different now. Now the Japanese are not qualified to share. They want to share with us behind the back of the court and give us some of the original share, so that this table of meals can only be eaten by us and the local gentry, which is equivalent to us. I have to kneel down and eat their leftover soup, but this time I have to share more leftover soup."

"This is sending beggars."

Chen Lin said with a smile at this moment.

Qi Jiguang also smiled slightly: "A gentleman should not value profit, but a businessman! Presumably the two generals are also loyal and righteous, and they are honest gentlemen!"

"And what Ben Shuai said is just as an example, so that you can also know the faces of these people."

"However, according to this analogy, why do we have to be so cheap, and don't know how to invite His Majesty to this table, let His Majesty sit down and eat first, and we stand like them, waiting for His Majesty to eat?" After we're done, let's divide up, Your Majesty always eats less than so many of them, right?"

"That's it!"

"Why is your majesty not even qualified to serve the table, and then you have to wait for them to eat and wipe up, and give us some leftover soup, what have we become?"

Yu Dayou nodded, and then asked: "Are you a dog?"

"The food here already belongs to the Zhu family, not the Matsuura Omura family. If you want to be a dog, you are also a dog of the Zhu family. You don't have to be a dog for them to eat the food they stole from the Japanese slaves behind the back of the court! "

Chen Lin said at this time.

"It's just that they are the ones who have food and meat, and even the cook is theirs. Without them, this table meal would not be possible."

Qi Jiguang said.

Chen Lin suddenly said: "Then we will unite with the emperor, and use a knife to force the cook to serve the dishes, and the vegetable sellers and meat sellers to sell them!"

Yu Dayou and others also nodded.

"In this way, I can rest assured that all the generals are understanding people."

Qi Jiguang said something with a smile, and then said: "They say that the emperor is the owner, they are in charge, and we are the thugs, but there is no time when the emperor joins the thugs to be loyal and easy to manage."

Not long after Qi Jiguang reached an agreement with Chen Lin, Yu Dayou, etc., he received the order to let him return to Beijing.

Qi Jiguang knew that he returned to Beijing to be a relative of the state, to retire with honor, and he already knew that he would be made the Duke of the state, so the sense of loss that he could no longer lead the army did not appear.

Therefore, Qi Jiguang didn't delay, or made excuses to delay. On the day he received the imperial decree, he heard from his generals Chen Ziluan and Tong Ziming: "You find five hundred strong Japanese dogs for the commander, and those who can plow the fields , half male and half female, I want to bring them to Beijing to see them off."

"Pink dog?"

Chen Ziluan was quite puzzled, and hurriedly cupped his hands and said, "Please tell the commander-in-chief!"

Tong Ziming also said, "Didn't you see any dog?"

Qi Jiguang looked black, and then pointed to a group of Japanese people at the pier in front who were carrying bags of grain off the ship under the supervision of soldiers of the Ming army, and said:

"Aren't those just dogs? Could it be that the emperor has issued a decree that Dongyi is also a citizen and needs to take care of his personality?"

Only then did Chen Ziluan and Tong Ziming suddenly realize, and hurriedly explained.

Seeing this, Qi Jiguang shook his head: "You two are very brave in battle, but your brains are not very bright. Remember, don't be too nice to these Japanese dogs, just give them a stutter, and tame them like animals, so as not to be so cruel. They will go wild again and go southeast of me to plunder."

"Understood! Please rest assured, Commander, we will definitely tame these Japanese slaves fiercely!"

Chen Ziluan straightened his chest and replied.

Tong Ziming also nodded, and corrected Chen Ziluan: "It is to tame these Japanese dogs!"

At this time, Yu Dayou and Chen Lin also came to see Qi Jiguang off, and Qi Jiguang walked over, said goodbye to them, and said: "The emperor has the right to distribute Haili in this world; how to divide it depends on how the emperor divides it. This is my humble servant." I have reached an agreement with the two generals, and I will convey it to His Majesty when I enter Beijing this time, and they know it, so please rest assured the two generals."

Both of them bowed their heads and cupped their hands and said, "Thank you!"

After saying goodbye, Qi Jiguang left Hirado and returned to Beijing by boat.

At this time, the Xu family in Huating, Xu Jie, Xu Ying, Su Song, the deputy envoy in charge of coastal defense, Min Xichen, and other bureaucratic gentry who were suspected of smuggling and colluding with Japanese, learned about the information brought back by Yan Zhongji and others through a person named Wang Dingbo. Qi Jiguang and others were unwilling to share profits with them behind the back of the court.

"They said that it was Jiang Ling who had brought about the marriage between the Qi family and the Tian family, and they could no longer persuade Qi Yuanjing to agree to this matter."

Wang Dingbo said.

boom!

The crutch in Xu Jie's hand suddenly fell to the ground, and his lips trembled slightly.

Xu Ying hurriedly picked it up and called out, "Father!"

Only then did Xu Jie realize that he had lost his composure, and smiled at Min Xichen and the others, "I made everyone laugh."

"It's not the old man's fault. We were also angry when we heard it."

Min Xichen replied with a smile, "It's just that I didn't expect that he, Jiangling, had already brought about this matter, and he didn't write a letter to tell the old man. Besides, he couldn't figure it out, why did he do this?"

"He felt that his Zhang family was no longer in the realm of scholars, so he simply recruited the new servants, and let the emperor hold the sword again, so that everyone will not have an easy life!"

"Anyway, after his death, he doesn't care whether the scholar-bureaucrat whose house was confiscated will have another home besides his Zhang family."

Xu Jie started talking, then sighed and said, "Jiangling's pursuit of the country has reached the state of perfection!"

Then, Xu Jie asked expectantly: "Do you think the emperor hated him Jiangling long ago, hated him too much for seizing power, and didn't accept his favor and give us a chance to let him break his own arm?"
