The furious King Zhongshun even thought about fighting Li Yunze to the death.
He has always asked for favors from others, but today he was beaten by Li Yunze.
Money was important, but losing face made him even more angry.
But in the end, King Zhongshun calmed down and headed back to the city to raise money with a dark face.
He offended King Zhongshun and made many generals worried.
Li Yunze, on the other hand, reassured everyone. After arranging everything and everyone, he found an unoccupied room, opened the space-time door and returned to the modern world.
When Li Yunze returned to the hotel suite, he called his butler Tony, "Help me find two people, a calligraphy master who imitates brush calligraphy, and a master who makes seals."
"As you wish, sir."
After lunch, two professionals with considerable reputations in their respective industries came over in the hotel's courtesy car.
"Please make a document." Li Yunze placed the documents from the Imperial Palace on the table and asked directly, "The handwriting on the paper must be exactly the same. The seal on it must also be accurate."
The two professionals looked at each other, and the master who specialized in engraving seals came forward: "Sir, we are professional in art, and things like this..."
"Two hundred thousand tea fees per person." Li Yunze, without batting an eyelid, reached out and took out his card, "Is one hour enough?"
"For academic matters like this, of course we have no problem."
The two masters smiled, "It's just that time is too tight, we have to wait until tomorrow at the earliest."
"Quality is guaranteed to be completed within two hours, and the tea fee will be doubled."
Without any hesitation, the two masters stood up, picked up the documents and ran out the door. While running, he called the butler Tony, "Hurry up and prepare the car. I want the fastest Pingji."
Li Yunze, who was leaning back on the sofa, took out a cigarette and bit it in his mouth.
When he returns from this dispatch, he can use this document to launch an offensive against King Zhongshun.
No substantive evidence is needed. Considering the suspicious character of Emperor Zhou, just giving an entry point is enough.
With the spiritual support of the high tea fee, the two masters used superb skills and invested a lot of energy to quickly complete the commissioned work.
Both the handwriting and the seal are lifelike and almost identical.
Li Yunze returned again, quietly waiting for the return of King Zhongshun.
Waiting until sunset, King Zhongshun, riding in a gorgeous gold-encrusted carriage, finally came back.
The dark-faced King Zhongshun took out a stack of banknotes and handed them over. On the cart that followed the carriage was a wooden box filled with silver.
After being in charge of the inner palace for many years, although King Zhongshun obtained a lot of wealth, his expenses were also very high.
It is not an easy task to collect tens of thousands of taels of money in a short time.
"Is it okay this time?"
"Thank you." Li Yunze handed over the signed and printed exit documents, and nodded, "I have accepted the things. Your Majesty can go back and wipe the account."
'snort. '
Swinging down his sleeves heavily, King Zhongshun turned around and got into the carriage with an unswerving expression. This is something I don’t want to say more to Li Yunze.
"Your Majesty." Li Yunze continued to call, "I heard that the opera troupe in your palace is very good at singing. I will definitely pay you a visit when I have some free time."
King Zhongshun, who entered the carriage, left without saying a word and returned to the city.
He didn't say anything, but he was thinking about something happening in the theater troupe that made Li Yunze mention it.
What’s more, we must find a way to bring down the Jia family!
The humiliation suffered today will be repaid a hundredfold in the future!
After making all preparations, Li Yunze's battalion of soldiers and horses finally officially dispatched troops.
He was still so wealthy that he chartered a boat directly when he arrived at the ferry. All large and small boats were chartered and marched along the waterway carrying soldiers, horses and supplies.
The road system these days is very bad. If you rely on a pair of iron footplates to walk from Guanzhong to the southeast, an army of 10,000 will have to lose at least 1,000 people on the road.
Moreover, the suppression on mental state and morale is great.
It's still more comfortable to take a boat. You eat, sleep and get familiar with the water every day. When you dock for a rest, you might even be able to go ashore and go to Gao Le.
Compared to walking on legs, the boosting effect on military morale is absolutely top-notch.
The fleet boarded the Grand Canal and passed through Yangzhou all the way south.
Li Yunze still did not visit Lin Ruhai because he knew very well that it was not the time yet.
The difficulty of conquering Sister Lin is definitely the highest among all.
But what was unexpected was that when the fleet was moored at the dock at night, someone from the Yanzheng Yamen took the initiative to come over.
The visitor was Lin Ruhai's servant, and after saluting, he actually said "General's condolences."
Li Yunze was shocked when he said this.
It shouldn't be. There were all kinds of arrangements made both overt and covert before departure. It couldn't be that something happened to one of the girls in the family.
The servant handed over a letter, "The great master was assassinated by a villain..."
After reading the letter and listening to the servant's story, I finally understood.
The one who got into trouble was Jia She. After blackmailing Jia Rong again, he was suddenly attacked by assassins on his way home. If it hadn't been for the patrol team of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division passing by, he would have probably died on the road.
I heard that the person was seriously injured, and even though he was lying on the bed, he didn't know if he could carry it.
Two murderers were caught, both of whom were well-known scoundrels in Shenjing City. M.biQuge.biZ
Before a set of punishments were completed, the two men exposed Jia Rong, the mastermind behind the scenes.
Hearing from Li Yunze that Jia Rong had moved 50,000 taels of silver from the Ningguo Mansion, Jia She went to threaten Jia Rong every now and then.
At first, Jia Rong gave some, but Jia She's appetite grew bigger and bigger, and he bit Jia Rong to death and took away 50,000 taels.
Even if he sells Jia Rong, he won't be able to get 50,000 taels.
Being forced to become anxious, Jia Rong, who had a handsome face but not a very good mind, turned to Dan Biansheng and killed him directly.
The Jia family sent someone to deliver a message to Li Yunze, but they couldn't catch up with him all the way.
The person who delivered the letter was also weird. He actually rushed to Yangzhou Mansion to find Lin Ruhai. This was the scene where the servants of Lin Mansion came to report the message.
Li Yunze's voice was low and his expression was miserable, "Go back and tell your uncle that I already know about this matter. However, state affairs are greater than family affairs. I have been ordered to send troops, how can I disrupt the court's deployment because of family affairs."
Having said this, he raised his hand to wipe the non-existent tears from the corners of his eyes, "When I return from the conquest, I will go find Jia Rong to settle the score!"
After the servant left, Li Yunze put away the letter and called to the soldiers, "Eat, and add two hard dishes tonight."
The matter between Jia Rong and Jia She is almost settled.
When passing by Yingtian Mansion, Li Yunze spent several days repairing here.
After giving those soldiers who lived in Jinling home for the holidays, I went to Jia Yucun and asked about Zhen Shiyin's whereabouts.
I must have been looking for it, but unfortunately I couldn’t find it.
Zhen Shiyin, who saw through the world of mortals and traveled around, didn't know if he was buried as fertilizer by some mountain king.
When the soldiers came back from visiting relatives, they brought many children from their families, all of whom wanted to follow their second uncle (brother) as soldiers to earn wages.
Naturally, Li Yunze would not refuse and would accept all those who were willing to come.
Big waves swept across, and all the mud and sand fell.
Those that can be used will naturally be kept, and those that are not will naturally be eliminated.
Continuing south along the waterway, we arrived in Fujian in more than ten days, then abandoned the ship and walked ashore to Zhangzhou Prefecture.
Theoretically, he should first go to Fuzhou City to pay a visit to the Governor of Fujian and Zhejiang, and submit himself to his command.
Li Yunze, on the other hand, ignored it at all and went about his own business.
The reason why he came to Zhangzhou Prefecture was simple. The Zhongzuo Station across the sea had been occupied by pirates. This was the first goal he chose.
After more than ten days, we finally saw the magnificent sea.
"General." Dong Hai, who was promoted to the capital for his military exploits, stepped forward and saluted, "Our army has no ships, how can we fight against the pirates?"
"Boat?"
Speaking of this, Li Yunze smiled, "Yes."
The ship he is most familiar with is a five-hundred-ton fishing boat.
It’s not that you can’t buy a bigger boat, but you can’t find people who are professional enough to drive it.
Modern ships have a high degree of specialization. Although they do not require many manpower, the high degree of professionalism cuts off the possibility of large-scale training in an era of widespread illiteracy.
An iron ship of several thousand tons must have at least twenty professional crew members.
Such as first mate, second mate, third mate, radio operator, first engineer, second engineer, third engineer, electrician, chief engineer, chief firemaker, engineer, assistant engineer, etc. The professional requirements are very high.
Therefore, a simplified fishing boat of 500 tons is the limit that Li Yunze can bear.
Normally, it is only necessary to teach the captain in charge of the helm and the engineer in charge.
It’s still the old rule, place an order for a new ship, and buy second-hand ones directly.
However, before the fishing boat arrived, Li Yunze had to kill the pirates entrenched in the center left.
After taking Xiamen Island, this strait is the best training ground.
According to drone reconnaissance, the old pirate camp on the island has about one or two thousand troops.
Judging from their equipment and quantity, as long as they can transport their troops to the island, they can be defeated in one battle.
The problem is that the pirates have dozens of broken ships in the narrow strait.
Li Yunze asked the Zhangzhou magistrate, "Are there many fishermen in this prefecture?"
The prefect knew that Li Yunze was here to fight against pirates, and the mansion was often harassed by pirates. Naturally, he was very enthusiastic at this time: "This mansion has many saline-alkali lands and little cultivated land. Most of the people make a living by fishing."
Having said this, the prefect also sighed, "Due to the harassment by pirates, local fishermen often hide their boats and dare not go out to sea."
Li Yunze absolutely did not believe this.
Similar to those merchants who turned into pirates after going to sea, fishermen along the coast will naturally turn into pirates when they have the opportunity.
Most of the pirates occupying Xiamen Island opposite are actually coastal fishermen.
"Please ask the prefect to post a notice and send people to the countryside to preach."
Li Yunze didn't waste any time and started to do things directly. "This general recruits fishermen and boats, and they will be treated as if they were soldiers. Those who have boats will bring them with them, and they will be bought with a lot of money, and they will not be deceived."
Hearing this, the prefect was very alert, "General, please forgive me, there is no more money left in my house."
"You don't need to pay. I have plenty of money, general."
The regular soldiers of the Great Zhou Dynasty definitely received high salaries, and there was no problem for one person to support his whole family.
The premise is that you will not be owed or deducted food and salary.
Li Yunze put up a recruiting flag at the entrance of the government office, and boxes of silver were piled up on the street, attracting the attention of countless people.
When the first person to eat crabs actually received twenty taels of settling-in allowance, it immediately caused a sensation.
The living standards of coastal fishermen of this era were completely incomparable to those of fishermen in the modern world.
Going out to sea for fishing is not only extremely risky, but also not very rewarding.
In short, in one word, very poor.
Twenty taels of settlement allowance, a monthly salary of twenty taels and five cents, and one stone of monthly food.
With such favorable conditions, there are naturally many candidates.
Of course, Li Yunze doesn't want anyone. He only wants those with families, especially those from good families whose parents are still alive.
Those whose origins are obviously unknown, and who may even be from the island, will be expelled.
After recruiting more than a thousand sailors, Li Yunze gathered them all on the beach near the sea.
The Guardsmen brought several large boxes. After opening them, the piles of silver shone in the sun.
There was a faint commotion among the sailors.
Li Yunze, who was holding a loudspeaker, pointed at the looming pirate ships in the distance, "I will recruit dead men to blow up and sink those broken ships. After the success, the money here will be based on your weight. How much you weigh, just How many taels of silver will I reward you with?"
