Yun Chao was amused by several officers from the Mingzhou Shipping Department.
"Gongxiami? Wakarigong, bananas, you scar, #￥%&＠..."
Several officers looked at each other:
"Where is this kid from and what did he say?"
"It seems to be speaking Lingnan dialect."
"No, it sounds like Hokkien to me."
"No matter what he said, it seems that these Qiu Ba gang are not prepared to pay for it."
"Hmph, blow the whistle and call someone. These guys seem to be very rich. Don't let them get away."
"Fuck...fuck..."
With a whistle, several warships rushed out of the port.
A soldier lay next to Yun Chao's ear and whispered: "Commander, look at the clothes, they are officers and soldiers of the imperial court. For safety reasons, commander, please retreat!"
Yun Chao did not embarrass his men, waved his hands and retreated behind the soldiers.
He is now not only the supreme commander of the Yun Family Army, but also the spiritual leader of the Yun Family Army. He must ensure his own safety.
It didn't take long before several warships arrived.
"We are the naval camp of the Mingzhou Navy. Where did you come from? Why did you block the waterway? Do you want to rebel?"
As soon as we met, a bunch of big hats were thrown at me.
What puzzled Yun Chao was that many merchant ships in the port also sent guards.
These guards were sitting in small boats, holding weapons, and followed the official warships and surrounded them.
"Master Gou, my boss asked the boys to come over and help. If you need anything, let me know. The boys are willing to go through fire and water!"
"Master Gou, so are we. If we want to take action, we go first!"
"Hey, where are you from? Do you know who this is? Mr. Gou from Shuiying of Shibo Division, why don't you kneel down and kowtow!"
"..."
The guards on the merchant ship have heard about it. Although the coming fleet looks scary, it is actually just a bunch of Qiu Ba from southern Fujian.
An army from out of town came to Mingzhou Port. No need to ask, they must be using public weapons for private purposes and secretly doing business.
If it is a military mobilization, a fast ship will be sent to deliver the message in advance, and it is impossible to come directly.
The officers and soldiers in southern Fujian and the businessmen doing business in Mingzhou are very scared. Even if they may go to southern Fujian to do business in the future, it is impossible for these guys to recognize themselves.
Therefore, almost all the large caravans sent guards to sell the officers and soldiers of the Mingzhou Shipping Department.
Yun Chao spoke words that he could not understand, and kept chattering for a long time. Only after everyone believed that he was a fleet from the south, he whispered orders to his soldiers.
"Get all warships ready and ready to take action!"
Yun Chao originally wanted to come to Mingzhou to show off the strength of Yun's Trading Company, but now that he was blackmailed by the guys from the Shipping Department, he immediately changed his mind.
The ancients are right, a good person will be ridden by others, and a good person will be ridden by others. Why not show off the strength of Yun's Trading Company? Since these guys are looking for death, let's take the opportunity to make big profits!
Seeing that the Shipping Department and a group of merchant ship guards were about to take action, Yun Chao asked his soldiers to start to relent, and discussed with the other party how much money they would have to pay.
The people from Shibosi wanted 10,000 taels of silver, but Yun Chao's soldiers only gave out 1,000 taels. The two sides started pulling back and forth.
Because several Dafu ships of the Yun Family Army blocked the view, neither the navy battalion of the Municipal Shipping Department nor the merchant ship guards noticed that the warships behind the Yun Family Army were slowly moving.
Yun Chao's personal soldiers were very eloquent and spoke softly, but they refused to let go of the amount of silver.
A thousand taels is a thousand taels, and I won’t even add one tael.
Master Gou from the naval camp got angry.
"Okay, very good. Since you are so shameless, then stop being shameless. Come on, get on the boat and arrest me!"
"yes!"
"Sir Gou, what's the use of a butcher's knife to kill a chicken? Just rest and let us go first!"
Seeing that the naval camp was about to take action, many businessmen made crooked ideas.
They took aim at the Yun Family Army's warship.
There are so many good ships, no matter what, we must get a few over!
Unexpectedly, the warships behind the Yun family army had already moved into position and were waiting for this moment.
Although the strength of the Yun family army could completely crush all the forces present, San Haozi still faithfully carried out Yun Chao's orders and tried not to give the truth to others.
Not just the navy, but the army as well.
As early as when the Yun family army was formed, Yun Chao repeatedly emphasized that in a conflict, it is best not to "fire the first shot" if it is not necessary, but to try to be famous.
Although this approach seems ridiculous and pedantic, it is actually a very effective diplomatic method.
Yun Chao wants his subordinates to develop a habit and not give the initiative to others easily.
Those who attack at every turn are not a qualified force, they are bandits.
Some people may ask, when the strength can completely crush the opponent, do you still need to make excuses?
The answer is of course yes.
In future generations, even if some big countries are so powerful, they will still show off with a bottle of washing powder. Are they doing useless work?
War is just a means, and realizing one's own political demands is the most important purpose.
If you want to develop and grow, you can't just act recklessly, and resorting to military force will basically not end well.
The imperial officers and soldiers took action first, and the Yun family's army took action next. This was a counterattack and legitimate defense.
Even if it is not made public now, it will be written into history books in the future.
Although history books are written by the victors, it is best not to tamper with them if possible, to avoid endless troubles.
If the Yun family's army doesn't move, it will be fine. If it moves, it will be earth-shattering.
With the loud blast of the signal cannon, the entire fleet moved.
Boom boom boom boom…
After a burst of crossbow strings, few people were left standing on the official warship facing Yun Chao's flagship.
Fortunately, the commander of the naval camp, Mr. Gou, is still alive.
It wasn't that Gou was lucky, it was Yun Chao who spared his life.
Hearing that this guy's surname was Gou, Yun Chao thought of Fatty Gou, the boss of Changshe Island.
One is an officer and the other is a pirate. Both of them have the surname Gou. Is there any relationship?
It's not that Yun Chao is gossiping, but he wants to find out the situation in the waters south of the Yangtze River.
Seeing how prosperous Mingzhou Port is, Yun Chao has long been tempted.
In the colorful world of Jiangnan, as a time traveler, how could you not want to take a piece of the pie?
It was precisely because Yun Chao discovered the huge benefits of Mingzhou Port that he suddenly changed his mind and said a bunch of words that even he himself could not understand, concealing the true origin of the Yun Family Army.
In an instant, most of their own side had been lost, and the surviving officers, soldiers and navy dared to fight back.
Everyone cried for father and mother, rowed the boat and ran away!
Yun Chao had another round of crossbow arrows fired, but he didn't let his men shoot all the officers and soldiers to death. He pretended for a long time and had to let a few live back, otherwise he would divert trouble to the east.
Yun Chao didn't care about the life and death of those merchant ship guards who wanted to take advantage of the situation. Whether they survived or not all depended on their luck!
