Chapter 955 Lobbying Alliance

As for the rouge and powder that could be kept, it was mostly because the outside of the box was engraved with the words "Daqing Internal Manufacturing" or "Wenzhuang Imperial Use". "Wenzhuang" was the palace of the king of Qing State, and the goods with these inscriptions could not be circulated in the market.

Wu Tiju had already prepared for the loss of three ships, and now that he heard that the ships were back, he was actually relieved.

The subordinates surnamed He showed mercy.

Yes, even if he took the three ships, it would not be easy to use them in the Yangshan waters and Daofeng Port. Even if the marks on the hull were painted over, the old sailors had sharp eyes and knew at a glance that they were Wu Tiju's ships.

In this case, He Lingchuan simply returned the ships to Wu Tiju afterwards, and only took away the goods as a punishment, leaving some room for both parties to turn around. This was a blow followed by a sweet date, which was both a gesture of goodwill and a warning:

If he wanted the ship to sink, the ship would sink; if he wanted the ship to float, the ship would float.

As long as Wu Tiju's ship still wants to leave the port, as long as Wu Tiju still wants to make this money, he should cooperate well with Yangshan Islands.

If everyone lives in peace, everyone can make money.

What does it mean to knock? It means to tell smart people: Don't be stubborn, back off, or I will continue to deal with you, there are many ways!

The premise is that you are a smart person.

Wu Tiju relaxed, and suddenly remembered something, and asked Zhao Chenshi: "Have the memorials and letters been sent out?"

"I'm sending them to the messenger."

"Bring them here."

Zhao Chenshi found them, Wu Tiju grabbed them and tore them up.

Zhao Chenshi: "..."

Wu Tiju sat down, dipped his brush in ink, rewrote the memorials and secret letters, and then sealed them and handed them to Zhao Chenshi: "Send them out."

"Yes." Zhao Chenshi was confused and didn't dare to ask, so he took them and walked out.

Wu Tiju pressed his temple and muttered, "I almost got confused."

The rewritten letter was similar to the original, except that the relevant content of "Yin Hu is suspected to be controlled by Yangshan Islands" was deleted, and the matter was reported in a straightforward manner.

He was also so angry before that he actually wrote his true feelings, and deleted it quickly after he came to his senses.

There is no benefit in reporting such things to the higher-ups. The Qing Kingdom and Concubine Yu will at most ask him to find a way to solve it, and the ball will be kicked back to him. At that time, he will have to do it.

Why should he embarrass himself?

The afterglow of the setting sun shines into the jungle of Black Page Island.

The shack-like supply warehouse has long been demolished, replaced by neat and uniform bamboo houses and wooden houses.

Behind the house are oil press workshops and warehouses.

After a day's hard work, the farmers and workers go to the new tavern to buy a dime of thin wine and a small bag of salt-fried peanuts, and they can enjoy half a night.

After work, the beach was full of people.

At this time, more than ten strong men appeared from behind, four or five of them had braids behind their heads.

Without them saying anything, the others had already walked away and made way for the best positions.

The two leading men sat down on a long log. The young man had a scar on his face. He raised the wine gourd and handed it over: "Uncle, the guard team will start selecting people tomorrow. I heard that many people signed up."

The older man turned his head and looked at the crowd on the beach and said: "They are all this kind of stuff, nothing to worry about."

"I heard that the island owner He has subdued three pirates in the Yangshan Islands, with at least more than 500 people, and they will join us in the guard team tomorrow."

The older man picked up the wine gourd, took a big sip, and said in a rough voice: "Pirates are a mob, how loyal can they be? Afeng, you don't want to back down, do you?"

Afeng looked to the west and said: "I think we should be more cautious. At least we should find out the strength of this archipelago."

The sunset is infinitely beautiful, but it is almost dusk.

Alas, has their tribe also reached the end of their days? "Uncle, we can't afford to make mistakes."

"How can we succeed if we are timid?" His uncle snorted and spat on the sand, "The Bailong people need a safe base, and this place is perfect!"

It's far from the land, but it has resources and can produce food, and the place is large enough to accommodate their branch.

At this time, someone walked here, also dressed as a laborer.

Several strong men were big and strong, and they looked difficult to deal with, but they didn't stop him from approaching.

The man bent over to the two men and sat on the ground: "Brother Wanqi, give me a drink?"

The older man threw a wine gourd to him: "Old Yu, you are not on the island today?"

"Ah, I went to Soding Island to help. There are more and more customers there, and there are not enough people. The wages can be higher." Old Yu shook his head and sighed, "I work hard every day, and the money I earn is not enough to buy two peanuts."

The young man threw half a bag of peanuts over: "Here you go."

When they were recruited, Old Yu had already worked on the island. He was a native of Soding Island and knew these islands very well, providing a lot of convenience for the uncle and nephew.

Old Yu also tried to curry favor with them and spoke nicely. After a few times, the two sides became familiar with each other.

"Afeng is a good man." Old Yu held a peanut and asked the uncle and nephew, "Do you want to join the guard team?"

"Yes." Everyone knows that the guard members get a lot of money.

"Your subordinates are all strong men, I guess you will join too." Old Yu laughed, "It's really luxurious to have Bailong people as guards."

The uncle and nephew were silent.

For their status, this is not a compliment.

Old Yu looked around and whispered: "You are all heroes, do you want to be guards for that island owner He for the rest of your life?"

"Is this what you should say?" Wan Qifeng immediately felt something was wrong. What does an old farmer on an island care about? "who are you?"

The two strong men behind also came forward and surrounded Lao Yu in the middle.

He quickly waved his hand: "Don't do anything, don't do anything, I am just the messenger!"

The older man sneered: "Pass a message? Are you approaching us these days just to convey a message?"

"You are Wan Qisong. If I don't get close to you first, how can you look at me?"

"Interesting." Wan Qinsong took a sip of wine, "Tell me, who asked you to come?"

"My master's surname is Lu. He knew that Mr. Wanqi had come to Blade Port and sent me to express his condolences."

"Deer?" Wan Qisong was startled, "Lord Bailie's Lu family?"

"Exactly."

Wan Qifeng rushed to ask: "When did your master know?"

"It's been some time." Lao Yu said, "The Ya Kingdom has been oppressing the Bailong people, and Wan Qitong, the son of the clan leader, can't tolerate you, so you take these people south. It just so happens that the Yangshan Islands are recruiting people, so you're here. ”

"But when you come to this island, do you really want to be a bodyguard?"

Wan Qinsong's eyes flashed fiercely: "If there is a P, let it go! If you make more twists and turns, I will throw you into the sea."

Lao Yu was so chilled by what he saw that he secretly thought that these Bailong people were really barbaric: "The island owner named He used some disgraceful means to get the Yangshan Islands. Our host is very angry, but he doesn't want to Go to war."

Wan Qifeng smiled and pointed at him: "I heard that your Lu family thought you had taken advantage by selling this archipelago that no one wanted. Unexpectedly, the owner of He Island developed it well, and now the miasma has disappeared. It’s gone and the guests are coming.”

Lao Yu was a little embarrassed: "The disappearance of the miasma is a natural problem and has nothing to do with the owner of the island. He is just lucky."

Wan Qisong snorted: "In other words, Bailie wants to regret it?"

This is a rhythm that will kill everyone. Lao Yu secretly complained, but on the surface he still kept a smile: "My master hopes to cooperate with the Bailong people."

Wan Qifeng sneered: "It's a joke, you have all been fooled..."

Wan Qinsong raised his hand to interrupt him: "What kind of cooperation method?"

"The one named He has just captured the Yangshan Islands. His foothold is unstable and the escort team is uneven. It is best to deal with it at this time." Seeing the straightforward nature of these Bailong people, Lao Yu simply spoke openly, "You uncles and nephews Wanqi are all How can you come here to serve as a guard for a young boy who doesn't want to be a subordinate of the patriarch's son? I think you and my master should hit it off. "

To put it simply, these Bailong people came to the island with bad intentions. The man named He thought he was lucky to have recruited so many powerful guards, but he didn't know that all of them were murderers!

"The man surnamed Lu wants to be dignified, so let us do it?" Wan Qifeng sneered at the side, "He signed an agreement, and if he goes back on it, it will be too ugly. Besides, even if we take down the leader of He Island, how can Bai Bai Aren’t you the last oriole?”

Lao Yu said seriously: "If you two are worried, the Lu family can sign an agreement with you. As long as He Lingchuan is captured, the Bailong people will want money and land!"

He then added: "Aren't you just worried about having nowhere to stay when you take people away? When you come to Yangshan Islands, you want to find a place to stay. The Lu family can provide these."

"Master Hedao regards you as guards, but the Lu family knows that you are heroes." Lao Yu smiled, "Heroes should be treated like heroes."

Wan Qinsong pondered.

Lao Yu added: "These hundreds of men under your command are all elites and will definitely be selected into the escort team. The Yangshan Islands are not worried. They will break up the Bailong people into formations and send them to the islands for duty. You will not be together for long. "Furthermore, Island Master He will recruit more and more guards, so it's not too late for you to take action."

Wan Qifeng reminded his uncle: "We will bear all the risks of the joint venture, and the Lu family will reap all the benefits?"

"Benefits? The owner of He Island is very wealthy. He bought real estate on the island and set up such a big stall without blinking an eye. How rich do you think he is?" Lao Yu said with a smile, "My owner conservatively estimates that the owner of He Island will His net worth is at least over one million. If you capture him, won't you just get a gold mine? Do you need to worry about money from now on?"

A millionaire? Wanqi's uncle and nephew looked at each other, why are the Bailong people in such a state of turmoil and having nowhere to settle down? After all, we are still short of money. In troubled times, the lack of money is the most serious problem. If we catch this big fat sheep named He, the whole family will be rich and prosperous, and they won't have to worry about money for a long time.

"As for the money, food, weapons, and intelligence for the operation, we can provide it. By the way, my master said that there will be imperial fluids appearing in a few days, and the archipelago will be in chaos. Do you want to seize this opportunity?" Lao Yu put a cloth on the ground. Bao, "Wealth can be found through danger. If you don't want to take risks, you have to be a guard for the rest of your life."
