Part One: Penghu Storm Chapter 42 Armed Escort

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Fenggui City took shape in just three days.

    Although it looks simple, it can give people a sense of peace of mind.  After all, this is not Fenggui City, which the Dutch used to defend against the Ming Dynasty, but a fortress used by Penghu soldiers and civilians to defend against the enemy.

    On the day the fortress was built, Xie Xuan of Quanzhou also came to the island.  He brought a batch of supplies to Ding Yunyi, all of which he bought out of his own pocket. He also brought good news to Ding Yunyi: he had been working hard in Quanzhou and had gotten through to those officials with real power, and the superiors had promised to reissue some of them.  The money will be paid and supplies will be sent to Penghu on a regular basis.

    Ding Yunyi was overjoyed when he heard this, but then Xie Xuan said: "This time Inspector Ding killed Guiwangwan in anger, word has spread in Fujian, and everyone knows the name of Inspector Ding. I heard that after hearing this, Commander Ding was stunned.  He said nothing, but got drunk that night. "

    Ding Yunyi was startled: "How do you know my father is drunk?"

    Xie Xuan smiled and said: "That night Zou Fushuai went to visit your father, and we happened to meet him. This is what Zou Fushuai spread.

    Ding Yunyi smiled slightly. It seemed that his "father" was also very happy.

    Xie Xuan added: "This is really a major event in the history of Penghu. Although Penghu is small, it is connected to the sea road, and every move attracts attention"

    As soon as these words came out, Ding Yunyi's heart skipped a beat.

    "Although Penghu is small, it is connected to the sea route, and every move attracts attention."

    ¡°I have defeated pirates one after another in Penghu and rebuilt Fenggui City. News will definitely spread.  If it causes jealous people with ulterior motives to cause harm behind the scenes, that may not be a good thing.

    You must find a way to prevent this hidden danger before it happens.

    How does Xie Xuan know what the other party is thinking: "With Inspector Ding guarding Penghu, merchants will feel more at ease. This time I even brought a friend to Inspector Ding."

    "Friends?" Ding Yunyi asked.

    Xie Xuan smiled: "He is a Fujian businessman named Jin Tailai, and he is often troubled by pirates. This time he is transporting a batch of goods to Luzon, and he is worried about being attacked by pirates, so I want to ask Inspector Ding to send someone  escort."

    "Want me to escort you?" Ding Yunyi scratched his head: "Where is this Jin Tailai?"

    "Just wait outside and I can see Inspector Ding."

    Ding Yunyi agreed, and Xie Xuan hurriedly stood up and invited Jin Tailai in.

    This man was in his forties, and he looked like a shrewd businessman. He bowed respectfully after entering, and then asked his entourage to carry in the gifts dedicated to Ding Yunyi.

    It¡¯s just a few bolts of cloth and a few jars of good wine.

    "Mr. Jin, you're welcome." Ding Yunyi said calmly.

    "Ding's inspection has shocked Fujian. These are just trivial matters." Jin Tailai said hurriedly.

    He asked him to sit down and listened to Jin Tailai say: "This time I have a batch of goods shipped to Luzon. The sea route is not peaceful. Once it is robbed, the losses will be heavy. Therefore, I would like to ask Inspector Ding to send an escort to escort him. Jin is willing to dedicate two  "One hundred taels of silver."

    Ding Yunyi was greatly moved.

    It¡¯s not far by sea from here to Luzon. As long as everything goes smoothly, you can earn two hundred taels of silver, which is a lot of profit.

    He pondered there for a moment: "Mr. Jin has several boats."

    "There are only two."

    Ding Yunyi made quick calculations in his mind.

    This is a way of making money that was inadvertently opened up: armed escort!

    He had just defeated Hitachi Gong Yaota and Oniomaru. According to Xie Xuan, his "fame had increased." A small group of pirates knew that his people were escorting them there, so they might not dare to rob them. As long as they could succeed this time, they would be able to do so in the future.  I'm just afraid that more people will come looking for me.

    In this way, Penghu has found a stable way to make money.

    Seeing that Ding Yunyi was silent there, Jin Tailai just thought that he refused to agree and said hurriedly: "Inspector Ding helped me anyway. I paid for all the expenses of the brothers on the ship. In addition to escorting the money, I will wait until they return smoothly."  , Jin is also willing to give each brother a red envelope to express his gratitude."

    Ding Yunyi smiled slightly: "Since Mr. Jin is so sincere, Yun Yi is willing to help Mr. Jin."

    Jin Tailai was overjoyed.

    During this period, the Penghu patrol inspector became famous, and people in Fujian were telling his story.  Some of them are quite absurd.  What is it that Kiohmaru sent his subordinate Hitachi Gong Yaota to harass Penghu, but was killed by Inspector Ding with a knife? Later, Onimaru personally led dozens of large ships to cleanse Penghu, but Inspector Ding stabbed him one by one, and killed them all while standing at the port.  Clean.

    Although it sounds a bit absurd, it is enough to illustrate Ding Yunyi's current reputation.

    Right nowSince Yun Yi is willing to help, he is 80% sure that his goods will be shipped to Luzon.

    Now we carefully discussed the time to go to sea, the approximate return time, and what to pay attention to on the way.  Then Ding Yunyi called Xiao Yifeng and Chen Dong in and asked them to select five brothers to follow Jin Tailai's ship to Luzon.

    When he heard that there were only seven people, Jin Tailai was a little worried.

    Ding Yunyi couldn't tell the truth. There were only about ten soldiers in Penghu. This time, he divided half of them in one go and took away half of his belongings.

    He thought so in his heart, but said: "Mr. Jin, don't worry, these seven people are all warriors who are good at conquering and fighting. There is no harm in leaving here."

    Chen Dong muttered in his heart, what can you do to recruit people who are good at fighting? Your inspection master only has so much wealth, and you can also get rid of Hong Tiaoyuan and Lao Ji, two people who cannot be beaten.  With seven people gone like this, there will be no difference even if you are just patrolling.

    "Just stay in Penghu. Why should you help a maritime escort?"

    He could not understand Ding Yunyi's current suffering.  Although I received a fortune from Hitachi Gonyasu and Kiohmaru, I still had to buy new ships and weapons, and they were already used up. It was just a matter of left hand in and right hand out.  If we don't think of a way to get some money, the brothers will have to drink from the northwest wind again.

    Jin Tailai was in a good mood. After chatting for a while, he stood up and left. When leaving, he repeatedly begged the inspector to take this matter to heart and not to delay his trip.

    After seeing off Jin Tailai, Ding Yunyi bowed his hand to Xie Xuan and thanked him for bringing such a rich man to him.  Then he pointed to the cloth and wine brought by Jin Tailai: "Xiao Yifeng, Chen Dong, you divide these brothers who are going to sea, and make each of them a new set of clothes. Don't lose the prestige of our Penghu officers and soldiers."

    "What, do you still need to change clothes?" Chen Dong asked curiously.

    Ding Yunyi laughed out loud and said: "Are you wearing my Ming Dynasty military uniform to escort maritime merchants? If word gets out, the superiors will have to punish me severely. I am afraid that my beard will stand up in anger and I will be serving as a lord."

    Xiao Yifeng and Chen Dong laughed, but Ding Yunyi's face darkened: "Be very careful on the road and make absolutely no mistakes."
