Chapter 755: The Secret Order of Murder

Zeng Sui'an thought for a moment, looked at Chen Ao's face quietly, and then said, "There are two ways."

Chen Ao wanted to laugh in his heart. He even had a headache when he thought of one solution. He actually had two solutions. Then he smiled and said, "I hope to hear it carefully."

Zeng Sui'an said lightly: "First of all, it is to strictly order all countries to completely cut off trade relations with the cannibals. Any cannibal ship must not unload goods near the governor's jurisdiction of various countries."

Chen Ao thought to himself that the British used this trick to deal with the French. Zeng Sui'an had been the governor of several years and did indeed grow a lot.

Zeng Sui'an continued: "Secondly, the country of India has a large population. If it can establish a governor's jurisdiction there, it would be great. The Nanyang Navy of our Song Dynasty once arrived there with a clutch. The land there was a vast land, the people were rich, and the land was extremely fertile. The population was probably no less than that of the entire Nanyang. But..."

Zeng Sui settled for a while before continuing: "But although there are many small countries there, the princes and princes are in control, their combat power should not be underestimated. There are also great cannibals watching. If our Song Dynasty wants them to surrender, the first thing we have to do is to drive the great cannibals out of Southeast Asia."

Zeng Sui'an's words may have immature points, but Chen Ao was already looking at him with admiration at this time and couldn't help but say, "You are right. One of these two methods must be implemented urgently, and the other can be slowly planned. For example, to cut off trade with the cannibals in Southeast Asia, just a single edict can be done. As for the Kingdom of India, some people can be sent to understand them first and then make plans."

Zeng Sui Anhe nodded and said, "This is just some of my simple opinions, it's all for your Highness to listen to it."

Chen Ao shook his hand solemnly and said, "You are not wrong at all, you don't have to be humble."

Zeng Sui'an pondered for a moment and said, "The Nanyang Navy now has 100,000 boat troops and more than 1,500 ships of various types. It is time to use such a huge navy every year."

Chen Ao certainly understood what Zeng Sui'an meant, but some things could not be said, and the current dilemma could only be solved by a navy. However, such an approach really violated the external strategy of the Song Dynasty. He smiled and said, "Make another plan."

After saying that, he went back to the back house to sleep. Zhao Ziheng couldn't sleep and was still waiting for him to come back. He asked him, "Why did I come back so late? My feet were so cold."

Chen Ao saw her curled up in the thin quilt and said with a smile: "What does this have to do with the cold feet?"

Zhao Ziheng poked half of his head out of the quilt and said with confidence: "Isn't there a saying that goes? Before the heart is cold, your feet will be cold. When your feet are cold, your heart will be cold."

Chen Ao changed his shirt and retracted into the quilt and smiled evilly: "Then I will warm your heart, where is your heart?"

Without staying in Suzhou and Hangzhou for a few days, Chen Ao continued to set off. Two Oriental Navy ships escorted the blessed ship where Chen Ao was sitting, and went down the wind along the southeast coast. The road was extremely bumpy. Fortunately, the sea was calm and Chen Ao was used to sitting, so he slowly adapted. Zhao Ziheng couldn't bear it, so he rested in the cabin all day.

Every time the sea ships arrive at a port along the coast, they take a short break, so they don’t walk fast. However, when the port stops, there will always be a series of arrogant warrants delivered directly from the clutch to Quanzhou.

These news were transmitted to Quanzhou's Haizheng Yamen like snowflakes. The Minister of the Haizheng Wu Wencai has not had a good sleep for several days and nights. On the one hand, there is the Wanguo Exhibition. The Wanguo Exhibition has now been approved by the imperial court. Moreover, the court has taken so many vassal kings as the top priority. Of course, it cannot be simple and slow. It is necessary to hold this grand event well, and merchants sell their goods, and make the foreigners feel at home. It is not easy to do anything.

Fortunately, a lot of land was reserved in Quanzhou New City, and the exhibition building was in the new city. This is a huge building covering an area of ​​hundreds of acres. It has the atmosphere and openness of the north. The entire building is in a circle. When you walk in from the outside, there are many circles inside, like a maze. There are rows of corridors and shop facades on both sides. It takes at least half an hour to walk in and walk out. Shixin mud roads were paved on the ground, and even the steps were smoothed with mud. There were three upper and lower floors inside, with more than three thousand shops.

Just like this exhibition, the construction cost 600,000 yuan. In addition, various decorations and buildings outside the exhibition will add up to at least one million yuan. One million yuan is not much or less. According to the King of Pingxi, after the exhibition is over, the shop here will be rented to merchants in Quanzhou. It is definitely enough to recover the cost. If it is operated well, it may be possible that this place will become the most prosperous commercial area in Quanzhou in the future, and every inch of land will be valuable.

Wu Wencai is not only worried about, but also the number of passengers suddenly increases, so there will definitely be insufficient cars and horses. Although many car rental shops have emerged in Quanzhou, all of which are not very spacious. After all, after the rise of mud roads, the traffic has been much more convenient, and the carriages are small and the speed is fast. Therefore, some people from different families cannot afford to support cars and horses, and they are unwilling to go out with their legs and feet. For four or five yuan, they can directly send themselves to their destinations. Why not? However, this kind of carriage is also in short supply now. After all, there are few horses in Quanzhou, so it has become a headache for Wu Wencai.

In addition to this, Wu Wencai did not dare to neglect the warrants sent by the King of Pingxi on the other side. Most of these warrants were just a few words, but the contents in them were worth pondering. For example, there was a warrant that almost made Wu Wencai so shocked that he did not stand firm. The content in this warrant was very simple, and it only said: expel the merchants of the Great Food, and no goods from the Great Food should be entered Quanzhou. The governors of various vassal states should be stopped in the jurisdiction of the governors of various vassal states. Violators should be detained quickly and detained without delay.

The shock on Wu Wencai's face is conceivable. The great cannibals in Quanzhou are not one or two, but tens of thousands. There are so many people, so we can't just drive them away. Besides, the goods of the great cannibals stop at various ports, and they also paid taxes to the governor's jurisdiction. At this time, I suddenly turned against others. Isn't it too rude?

In fact, Wu Wencai also knew in his heart that the cannibals are now learning to walk in Handan and competing with the Song Dynasty in Nanyang. However, after all, he is a scholar and does not agree with using tough means to kick people out. He does not agree with the fact that he does not agree with it. However, since King Pingxi made a statement, he naturally has his intention. How to solve the problem at the moment.

Of course, it would not be possible to drive away so many people. Wu Wencai hesitated for a while and then sent a *** to the Nanyang Navy Office and asked the Nanyang Navy commander to come and discuss.

The Navy Office received the *** and came immediately. Yang Guo came on a horse and looked tired. Although the Navy Office was not as heavy as the Navy Office, it was not easy. The fleets had to take turns to the sea and had daily supervision and practice. Especially at this time, the safety of the various vassal ministers and envoys was the top priority. The Navy ships almost came out in full swing and patrolled in various seas to avoid accidents.

Although Yang Guo and Wu Wencai were both civil and military officials who were left in Quanzhou by Chen Ao, they did not have much contact with each other. Occai occasionally gave him some official duties. Today, Wu Wencai suddenly came to ask someone, and at this critical moment, he knew that there was something important to discuss. Of course, Yang Guo could not neglect and came immediately.

Yang Guo was wearing a military uniform with a short-sleeved shirt. When he saw Wu Wencai, he nodded to Wu Wencai's head. Wu Wencai immediately stood up and said, "Please sit down."

Yang Guo was still a little humble when he treated Wu Wencai. Although the two of them had equal positions and were both Shen Ao's right-hand men, he said that the Song Dynasty valued literature over military affairs, and this awareness had long been deeply rooted in people's hearts. Even Yang Guo himself still felt that he was shorter than Wu Wencai.

Wu Wencai didn't say hello, and directly took the handwritten handed over to Yang Guo by Chen Ao, and said, "Commander Yang, let's take a look first."

Yang Guo only glanced at the line briefly, then looked up, Wu Wencai looked at him eagerly and said, "What do you think of Commander Yang?"

Yang Guo was silent for a moment, a hint of murderous intent flashed across his eyes, and his tone said with a strong tone: "Your Highness wants us to expel the great cannibals, so he will expel the great cannibals. What should he do?"

Wu Wencai had to smile bitterly and shook his head, saying, "I'm asking how to expel the great cannibal." He was afraid that Yang Guo wouldn't understand, so he continued, "Look, there are thousands of great cannibals in Quanzhou alone. There are so many people, so where is it so easy to expel it?"

Yang Guo said solemnly: "That's true, what did Lord Wu think?"

Wu Wencai wanted to laugh in his heart, and just wanted to ask what he meant, but now he was backing around him. He was not polite, pondering for a moment, and said, "The most urgent task at the moment is to identify the great cannibals."

“Search?”

Wu Wencai nodded and said, "Call up all the great cannibals in Quanzhou and tell them what His Highness meant. Those who were willing to leave will naturally let them go, but it is difficult to guarantee that some of them may not be willing to leave. So just apply for their household registration and let them become Song people from now on. After all, there are many merchants in Daqi, and leaving some will also be beneficial to Quanzhou."

Yang Guo said thoughtfully: "I'm afraid that they are afraid that they will be in their hometown and secretly communicate with Dashi. Then they will be unpredictable."

Wu Wencai pondered for a moment and said, "I'm not afraid of this. Many big cannibals have wealth in Quanzhou, and their wives and children are here. The big cannibals are high and far away. How can they do things that will harm Quanzhou? In fact, there have been many big cannibals who have reproduced in Quanzhou over the years, but you see, one of these people's descendants claims to be big cannibals? Which one does not regard himself as a Han Chinese?"

Yang Guo suddenly started: "Then let's do it according to Lord Wu's wishes. This matter will be hosted by Lord Wu tomorrow. The navy will transfer a military force to assist the master."

Wu Wencai said: "It's good that this is the case. I must know the Quanzhou prefect Ma Yinglong and ask him to help."

Yang Guo was a straightforward person. Seeing that the matter was discussed, he stopped saying anything, clasped his fists and said, finally, "After that, Lord Wu gave those great cannibals a chance, but if someone neither recognizes my Quanzhou nor leaves, the navy will inevitably kill people."

What Wu Wencai was most afraid of was the word "kill" and said with a wry smile: "After the screening, everything will be handled by Commander Yang."
