Chapter 719: Li Shang (End)

Below the majestic Shenlou ship, there are all kinds of sailing ships. The sailors brought food, emergency medicine, and supplies into the cabin. There were gray-haired old women, women, and children on the deck with their backs wrapped in luggage, and the low crying and comforting were intertwined.
In front of the team was an old man with a red scarf on his head and a cane.
"Uncle Ba, be careful on the road."
Li Yan took out two silver ingots and a large string of copper coins from the box at hand and handed them to the old man.
The old man whirled tearfully: "Leader take care."
"I know."
Li Yan patted Uncle Ba's shoulder, and the other party only felt a warm current flowing from his lower abdomen into his limbs, and his rickety spine straightened up, as if he was several years younger.
Old Ning brushed the book a little while holding the brush. Then he shouted: "Next."
Li Yan glanced back. There is half of the team. This is the last group of people, and they can board the boat at the latest tomorrow morning.
During these three days, Li Yan personally gave them a sum of silver for almost every pirate who was deported. Say a few words before sending them on board. These people are not just old and weak women and children. Nearly 10,000 are young and strong, but because they have their parents and family members, Li Yan ordered them to be sent back to their hometown. In three days, the Hongqi gang "slim down" by half, and more than 10,000 young men were dismissed by Li Yan.
For a long time in the future, the Red Flag Gang will disappear from the jurisdiction of the government. Li Yan didn’t think that these disbanded young and Zhuang pirates had lost contact with the Red Flag Gang from then on. To put it bluntly, if the government can really make land for the farmers and the people live and work in peace, there will be no hundreds of thousands of pirates gathering and fighting. The Nanyang was plundered.
...
Until the busy morning, the last wave of the fleet, a Lin's treasure ship led fifty large sailing boats, finally set off together, led by the red flag leader Qian Tuo, the destination is Macau.
In addition to five thousand pirates, there are more than three thousand old and weak women and children on board. Most of them have not returned to land for two generations, and have lived on Lantau Island for most of their lives. They are extremely loyal to the Red Flag and the Zheng family on the treasure island. It is unrealistic to ask these people to join relatives and friends and spread to the villages of the coastal towns and counties.
So Li Yan specially arranged Qian Tuo to send these people to Macau.
Nowadays, Macau is under the joint control of the Hongqi Gang and Cai Qian, and it belongs to the government in name but not even a county magistrate. Both the government and the East India Company ignored its existence for various complicated reasons.
It turned out that shortly after Hongcai captured Macau, the French emperor of Europa launched a thunderous offensive and broke through the Portuguese capital in one fell swoop. The Portuguese empire, which was once prosperous, declined. The nobles were exiled to the sea and had no time to take care of the colonial islands in the Far East. The lease contract between the government and Portugal exists in name only.
However, the directors of the East India Company were ambiguous about Macau's substantive ownership. Although the foreigners agreed to form a joint fleet with the government, together they would wipe out the Five Flags Alliance. But he was extremely resistant to the government's involvement in Macau affairs and was willing to maintain the status quo.
As the last sailing boat left the sea level, Li Yan wiped his face with a wet towel, somewhat depressed.
Autumn Jacques can cure a large number of chronic diseases caused by aging, and even rejuvenate people, but one or two is okay. In the face of the red flag to help thousands of old and weak, Li Yan can only do his best to restore some vitality to their bones. It will not be overwhelming.
Today, on the island of Lantau Island, there are only less than 20,000 left, like wolf-like sailors, all sharpening their swords and guns, carrying artillery, and the atmosphere is very solemn.
"Tianbao leader, Boss Cai replied, and he agreed. He will take care of these old women and children in Hongqi Inn."
A black seagull stood on his index finger wearing a ruby ​​ring, and a letter box was tied to his paw.
"I'm just being polite with him, and you don't need to take care of him. As long as he is not behind me, he can inform the Governor Yang."
Li Yan looked out at the sea.
Nephew Nong smiled after hearing this: "Cai Qian will not be a villain in vain. He went to tell the news. If the red flag is in vain, Yang Sheng will not read his favor. I heard that this governor wants to I changed the business of the thirteenth line to the government, and I urged him several times to close the company."
"You are paying close attention."
Nephew Nong's smile stagnated when he was about to explain something, Li Yan threw the towel into the basin: "What Cai Qian gave you, you just keep it, don't tell me. By the way, has anyone caught it?"
As Li Yan was speaking, his brows wrinkled upwards unconsciously.
My nephew Nong breathed a sigh of relief and said softly, "Naturally, he won't let the leader down."
...
Qiu Ru's eyes were bright and dark, and her head was even more dizzy. I don't know how long it took before she woke up.
On top of his head is a bed frame with bamboo and chrysanthemum patterns, and he is covered with money mattresses. She reached out and touched her head. The wound on her forehead was bandaged, but there were still sticky blood stains on the bandage.
She was about to get up, only to find that Zheng Xiu was sleeping next to the bedding like a cat, and her movements stopped naturally.
But Zheng Xiu still heard the movement, she suddenly opened her eyes, and when she saw Qiuru awakening, she immediately beamed her brows: "Danny."
She hurried to the table and brewed a bowl of warm water, and offered it to Qiuru. The red eye circles did not seem to be fake: "I'm wronged."
Qiu Ru grabbed Zheng Xiu's hand: "What happened to the two thief Yang and Feng?"
"Naturally it is consummation." Zheng Xiu handed the bowl to Qiu Ru's hand: "If Brother Bao is out of the customs today, he will take care of Hongqi affairs."
Zheng Xiu added at last.
"That's good, that's good."
Qiu Ru couldn't help nodding her head, tears in her eyes: "There is a Tianbao leader who is in charge of the situation, and he will definitely be able to turn the tide, and there is no need to call you a female baby." Then she gently stroked Zheng Xiu's face.
Zheng Xiu bit her lower lip lightly and held the chapped palm of her nanny, but her heart was half guilty and half sad.
The godmother herself has no intentions, she was loyal to her mother all her life, and after the death of the tenth lady, she was loyal to herself. If it wasn't for love, Zheng Xiu would be reluctant to ask her wet nurse to perform this bitter trick. Qiu Ru doesn't know much about the inside story.
"Dianniang, you have a good rest. I ask the chef to cook a bowl of lotus seed soup for you."
Zheng Xiu calmed down Qiuru, went out the door and turned around a few courtyards. Seeing that there was no one around, he asked in a low voice: "Have you sent back to Annan?"
After a while, Zheng Xiu's shadow suddenly appeared, twisting constantly in the morning light.
I saw the shadow replied hoarsely: "Yesterday the ship followed the deported people and it should be ashore now."
Zheng Xiu's expression loosened, "That's fine."
"Leader of the show, so you are here."
Only then did the sound sound, and the writhing shadow slammed away.
Zhao Xiaoyi came over: "Tianbao Lead is looking for you everywhere."
"I know Brother Xiaoyi, I'll go now." Zheng Xiu's face didn't change her face: "My godmother is awake, please ask the kitchen to make a bowl of lotus porridge and serve it."
"Okay, wrap it on me."
Zheng Xiu listened and then left.
