Chapter 647

Out of the gate of Ningyuan official hall, Niu Gensheng quickly stepped forward and said in a respectful low voice, "general, where are we going?"

Li Yuanqing thought for a moment, "go straight out of the city. You send someone to tell manchui that in a few days, twenty thousand taels of silver will be transported together with the next batch of old pits in southern Liaoning! "

"Eh? Yes

Niu Gensheng didn't know why, but Li Yuanqing looked bad, so he did it quickly.

After a simple cleaning up, Li Yuanqing went directly out of Ningyuan city to the fleet on the east coast.

Not long after, Niu Gensheng sent to deal with the affairs of the soldiers, also quickly rushed over, a group of people have boarded the ship.

Without a moment's hesitation, Li Yuanqing waved his hand and sailed directly to the deep sea.

Standing on the bow of the boat, looking at the city of Ningyuan gradually disappearing in the field of vision, Li Yuanqing spits out a long breath of turbid air, but his face is ethereal and elusive.

It's not that Li Yuanqing was not so righteous that he had to "sell" his high position.

It is because of this matter, this is a dead end, Li Yuanqing simply can't support justice.

Gaodi, with the power of his strategy of Jiliao, forcefully recruited Li Yuanqing to the west of Liaoning Province, forcing him, Li Yuanqing, to make a statement.

What's more, four hundred thousand taels of silver is good. However, this is the food and salary in western Liaoning. Governor yuan didn't have to work too hard to find out what was fishy.

If he had pushed himself to the forefront of the storm because of the mere four hundred thousand Liang silver, Li Yuanqing was not so stupid.

What's more, there are a lot of stains under Gao Di's buttocks. Let's not talk about sun Chengzong. It's governor Yuan who can't compare with him.

This is not to say that Gao Di's ability is poor. In fact, Gao Di's ability is by no means inferior to today's.

The most important thing is that Gao Di's heart was not put in the Liao area. The reason why he came to Liao was that he was forced to be helpless and drove the ducks to the shelves.

In this way, how can Li Yuanqing put all the treasure on him?

As for "confessing" to supervisor yuan, Li Yuanqing was also a bachelor. He made it clear to governor yuan that he would put 150000 taels of silver into his pocket if Gao Di's side was successful.

This kind of thing, governor yuan is not stupid, how can he not distinguish the priorities?

Without much hesitation, he agreed to it.

In this way, the 400000 taels of silver originally belonging to the "black gold" were washed white after a turn.

If Li Yuanqing holds it in his hand again, there will be no danger, although it is more than half less than before.

Li Yuanqing suddenly remembered an ancient sage who once wrote a story about loving lotus: "lotus grows out of mud but does not dye, and washes clear ripples without demons..."

But if you walk by the river, how can you not wet your shoes?

For the future, for the ideal, even if the road ahead is full of thorns and blood, how can Li Yuanqing hesitate?

………

Ten days later, in the middle of March, the fleet headed for Shanhaiguan returned smoothly, bringing back 250000 taels of fine official silver.

In the court, the war between governor yuan and Gao Di was still going on, but Li Yuanqing had already left the "fire pit" and watched the fire on the other side of the bank.

In fact, the most important reason why governor yuan agreed to this matter so happily was that Li Yuanqing was sincere enough and clearly told him that he would go to sea at the end of March, and that he would not take part in the war in Liao in the next one or two years.

According to governor yuan's "great talent and great strategy", this is the thing he would like to see most. After all, there can only be one "protagonist" in this drama in Liao Dynasty.

In addition, he could receive more than 100000 taels of silver. How could he refuse?

At this time, after the repair of Zhou Chuanhai's shipbuilders and thousands of auxiliary soldiers, the warships on the sea were almost finished.

As long as all the materials are ready, the fleet can go to sea at any time.

Before going to western Liaoning, Li Yuanqing also asked his soldiers to send a message to Yang jiaoniang in the capital, asking her to rush to Changsheng island as soon as possible. Together with the fleet, she went to Nanjing to inspect the industry of Wuyu Pavilion in Nanjing, and helped Li Yuanqing purchase materials in the south of the Yangtze River.

With the millions of taels of silver brought back by Yang boat, together with the 25 taels of silver from Gao Di and governor yuan, Li Yuanqing's current silver reserves were already quite abundant. All the staff on the island were mobilized, and all of them were preparing for the voyage.

On March 14, Yang jiaoniang arrived at Changsheng island with Saburo and a team of more than 100 people.

To Li Yuanqing's delight, his previous efforts were not in vain. Yang jiaoniang's belly was finally successfully enlarged by him.

After careful deliberation, Li Yuanqing set the date of going out to sea on March 18, which was also the auspicious meaning of getting rich.

According to the plan, after the fleet sailed out, Li Yuanqing would first go to PiDao to meet Mao Wenlong, and then go directly by sea to Nanjing to pick up the goods and then go to Fujian to have a chat with the Zheng family.At this time, the route from Daming to Nanyang seems very far away, but in fact, this route has a history of hundreds of years and is already very mature.

Unless the idea is too bad, directly encounter a typhoon, otherwise, this road is very safe.

Li Yuanqing thought about it for a long time. Finally, he decided to take most of his unmarried wives and children with him to go out to sea together as a way to relax and travel and broaden their horizons.

It's a pity that Zhang yunniang and Qu minqiu, because they are mistresses, want to sit on Changsheng Island, but they can't go.

Li Yuanqing can only promise them that in a few years, when everything is more stable, he will take them to sea.

Although the warships in Changsheng island at this time were not equipped with powerful guns, but mainly used cold weapon impact weapons, they were more successful than others.

According to the preliminary estimate, the number of warships will be more than 800.

In addition, the number of large and small cargo ships of the island's tycoons has exceeded 1500, which is not too difficult.

In terms of soldiers, after careful consideration, Li Yuanqing decided to bring with him 8000 soldiers, which basically accounted for half of the number of standing soldiers on Changsheng island. All kinds of firearms should be brought with him.

In terms of security, Li Yuanqing has also been closely considered.

Although the combat effectiveness of Changsheng Island fleet at sea is very small, its landing operations are impressive.

At this time, the size of the fleet was so large that ordinary small pirates could not do anything to them. The only one who could threaten the safety of the fleet was Zheng Jia.

However, with Zheng Zhilong's urination, if he dares to send troops to deal with Li Yuanqing, how can the Manchu take over the Wanli River and mountain in the pass in the future?

As for Nanyang, Li Yuanqing is less worried.

If anyone dares to offend his authority, he will take the root of him!

Time flies by. In a twinkling of an eye, it has come to March 18.

Early in the morning, on the nanxinkou wharf, it was already a tsunami. Amid the cheers of the boundless crowd, Li Yuanqing took the lead in embarking on his boat with a group of his wives and concubines.

Soon, people from all walks of life began to board the ship.

At the end of Chenshi, that is, around 8:58 in the morning, Li Yuanqing waved his hand and the fleet began to sail to the deep sea in turn!

The vast sea is boundless, but the boundless huge fleet on the side and behind seems to cover the whole world.

Standing on the broad deck, Li Yuanqing can't help but think of moustache's high spirits.

What a pity!

At this time, there are no boundless fighters in the sky. Otherwise, what a magnificent scene it would be to cover the sky and block the sun?

In front of him, Yang Xiaobo personally sat on a large warship to lead the whole fleet.

On the side, hundreds of medium-sized warships full of soldiers, like cruisers and frigates, firmly guard Li Yuanqing's safety.

In fact, Li Yuanqing has been thinking about reorganizing the fleet power of Changsheng island. The regulation is sound, and the purpose and division of work are more clear, according to the regulations of Daming Navy.

However, "the small demon in the temple has a strong wind, and there are many princes in the deep pool.".

In this complicated political environment, Li Yuanqing did not want to be too "bold", so he put up with this method for the time being, kept a low profile and did not easily expose his foundation.

The key is that although the fleet structure and command system of Changsheng camp are well established, they are not real warships. Li Yuanqing also wants to make a decision on this issue after the conditions are more mature.

On the morning of March 21, Li Yuanqing's fleet arrived at PiDao successfully.

Unfortunately, Li Yuanqing has just boarded the island, but was told that Mao Wenlong has gone to the capital.

After a good drink with Mao Chenglu, Zhang pan and Chen Jisheng, he wrote a letter to Mao Wenlong. Li Yuanqing did not stop, but returned to the fleet and set sail for Nanjing.

After a few days of adaptation, Zhang Baozhu, Ren Yinger, Caizi and other female dependents have also begun to adapt to the life on the sea, and gradually become cheerful. Especially the children, they are very happy and run around on the deck every day.

Li Yuanqing can finally enjoy the "happy" life with his wife and concubines around him.

As the fleet headed south, the weather began to get warmer, and people's mood became clearer.

As he sailed close to the mainland, Li Yuanqing did not have to worry about fresh water supply and vegetables.

In terms of health, Changsheng camp has already had strict military discipline, and there is no need to worry about the occurrence of epidemics.

As a matter of fact, the route from China to the south, including the coastal waters and connecting the north and the south, has been very mature since the time of Li Tang.

In the Song Dynasty, it almost reached a small peak.

In the hundred years of Yuan Dynasty, although there was abandonment, on the whole, it didn't suffer much damage.

Especially after entering the Ming Dynasty, the glory of Zheng He's voyages to the West made more and more Chinese go to Nanyang to seek gold and make a living.It's a pity that "the heart has more than the strength.".

Although the private business and communication activities are prosperous, the official support is not enough, which also makes the sea guests and rich businessmen in Daming seriously lack of confidence.

It has to be said that this is the greatest regret of the Chinese nation in history.

But at this time, Li Yuanqing has personally set out to sea, and everything is totally different.

After more than ten days of sailing, the fleet landed at the Yangtze River Estuary on the 10th of April.

Guan Canghai and Xu Heizi first led the fleet to Nanjing to prepare for the subsequent delivery. Li Yuanqing personally led 500 cavalry troops and came to Shanghai county, not far from Nanjing, the great "magic capital" of later generations to pay a visit to Xu Guangqi and Xu Ge Lao, who had long been admired by him.
