After Li Yanzhi handled the conference of various countries at Feilong Mansion and accepted the visits of the kings of various countries, he ordered Hu Zongxian to stay in Bharat and Yu Dayou to stay in Annan. He set out north by himself. Because the wind direction on the sea route was wrong, he also took the land route.

From Feilong Mansion to Shanghai, the road was long. In addition, when officials along the way heard that Zhenhai Gong, who was powerful, was not flattering? How could Li Yanzhi withstand this trouble? When he arrived in Annan, he ordered that there would be no banquets in the state and no one would pass by the county. He just rushed to the road and went to the inn to rest when he arrived in a place. He also walked for more than two months before he arrived in Shanghai.

When his talents arrived in Shanghai, an imperial edict came from the north, proclaiming him to come to Beijing to report his duties.

At that time, Gao Gong had become the secondary assistant and Zhang Juzheng had also entered the cabinet. Li Yanzhi thought that he had lost the capital for a long time and should go to see the situation. However, the Navy Governor's Office was his nest and he had to enter the gate. So he went to the Governor's Office for a walk, and then went to the dock to prepare for the military parade.

During this period, he asked about Japan, and the trading company said: "Wang Muslim set out from Busan and stationed troops in Tsuma Island. The Japanese coalition and Poshan dared not move, and they all wanted to win our support. The battle situation has eased, and the front line is in the northern part of Kyushu and the eastern part is in a stalemate. Long before I arrived in Shanghai, Japan sent three envoys, trying hard to say that their uprising was aimed at Poshan rather than Ming Dynasty. I hope we will take all the righteousness of the world and don't interfere."

Li Yan smiled and asked again: "Where are the three messengers?"

The Commercial Bank Jian said: "A month ago, the capital city came to the decree and summoned them to Beijing for questioning."

Li Yanzhi said oh, and asked who were from Japan again.

The trading company said: "One is the Japanese minister, named Harumoto Hosokawa, and the other two are young people, one is the son of Harumoto Hosokawa, and the other is called Fujitaka Hosokawa, and the other is called Motokara Matsuhira." Li Yan heard the name of Motokara Matsuhira, and seemed to remember something, but he didn't remember who it was. Because he said: "The herdsmen's troops can only deter, and it is not enough to force the two sides to suppress them at the same time. At present, the peace is just that both sides are trying their best to restrain themselves. When they take action next time, they are afraid that the momentum will come even more fiercely! It seems that the herdsmen will be given more troops."

"What the governor said is." The Shangshangjian said: "It's just a matter of increasing troops, I'm afraid it will be a little trouble."

"Why?" Li Yan said straight: "Now Wu Ping has returned to Penghu, and the main fleet of the Navy Governor's Office has returned to the north with Monsoon. We should have sufficient troops in the East China Sea."

The Commercial Bank Construction did not analyze it much, but just said one word: "Money!"

Li Yanzhi started his business and was most concerned about money. He said oh, and he immediately understood.

This time, he led the army of sea and land to the south, not counting the troops left behind in the South China Sea. The troops mobilized from Shanghai, Penghu, and Guangdong and Guangxi alone exceeded 100,000. Ping Annan, captured Manlaca, took Singapore, and Fu Balah Port, and finally occupied Mayi. Although all the battles were successfully won, the silver poured into the sea like flowing water, almost exhausting all the savings of the Navy Governor's Office in the past two years, and even having a deficit. Although this silver may be recovered within the next one or two years, it is now a difficult time to use money.

Li Yanzhi pondered for a while and said, "We took the Manraka and Ma Yi, and the spoils we received were enough to make up the holes in this military dispatch. However, if Japan fights this battle, it will definitely cost a lot of money. This is not something our governor's office can bear independently. We still have to ask the court. In recent years, we have also handed over a lot of money to the Ministry of Revenue in Beijing. After the Southeast Commercial Tax Reform, as far as I know, Taicang's silver investment increased by at least one million a year, and in the past three years, at least three million taels of silver were collected. Part of this money was used to fill the holes left by the Supreme Emperor. Some of the old masters of Xu went to control the Yellow River and devoted part to the defense of the Three Norths, but I guess there should be some left. Now when it's time to reach out, we have to reach out!"

"But..." said the Trading Bank: "Governor, is this battle really going to be fought?"

Li Yanzhi said: "What are you talking about?"

The Commercial Bank said: "From the recent situation, I'm afraid... I'm afraid that everyone is unwilling to start a war."

Li Yanzhi asked: "Who is the so-called 'everyone' with whom?"

The Commercial Bank Jian then reposted the words of Hong Dizhen and others, paying attention to Li Yanzhi's attitude. Li Yanzhi pondered for a long time, but could not see any expression from him. He just nodded silently and said, "Hehe!"

Li Yanzhi stayed in Shanghai for only three days before leaving north. When his car arrived near Tongzhou, he heard that there were crowds of people outside Chaoyangmen, waiting to pick up Li Yanzhi's driver. Li Yanzhi said that the journey was exhausted and ill, and he had to rest in Tongzhou for two days, which attracted countless officials to post and ask about illness, but were rejected one by one.

Li Yanzhi took Jiang Yifan, Liu Xi, and Li Yijiu, put on casual clothes, rode two donkeys, walked into Dongzhimen, and arrived on the streets in the city. But the streets were bustling, and there were a wide range of overseas goods in the shops on both sides.

Since Li Yanzhi opened up the South China Sea, Luzon and Bharat have dozens of prefectures and counties. With more places, there are naturally more officials. As the political center, Beijing naturally has more people come to take the lead. After the sea ban was lifted, the city that benefited the most was Shanghai, followed by Beijing - a large amount of gold and silver accompanied the politics of various factions into the capital, activate the economic vitality of this ancient capital. Some overseas entertainment projects, such as Japanese Nokong and Western dramas, also began to appear, and even merged into the emerging Kunqu Opera! However, Nokong, Western dramas and Kunqu Opera are very different after all. At this time, the initial integration was inevitably a bit inconsistent and the gentry class was not yet influential.

Jiang Yifan smiled and said to Li Yanzhi: "Sanshe, you don't take a bus into the city, but you have a private visit. Do you want to have fun first and then do business?"

Li Yanzhi smiled and replied: "What new fun is there here?"

Jiang Yifan said: "A restaurant was recently opened on the small street in Chaoyangmen North, called 'Folangbuji'. It is said that there are Western musical and dance performances, but they are all about China. It is very fun, why don't you go there and have a look?"

Li Yan smiled and said, "You are so amazing. You are in Nanyang, and you are even more familiar with the new fun in Beijing. It's amazing, amazing!"

He asked Jiang Yifan to lead the way and arrived at the "Folang Buji". When he arrived at the door, he saw four people standing in the gatehouse, all of whom were beautiful women, one was Korean, one was Japanese, one was Annan, and the other was Western. They were black, white, fat and thin, and each had their own taste. In addition to the constant in-clothed men coming and going, countless sluts settled down and looked at the four people who were soliciting and watching the fun.

Jiang Yifan led the way, and a waiter wearing Japanese samurai costumes came out. He bowed and picked them up. When he wanted to arrange a seat, Li Yanzhi said, "It's good to be in the lobby."

The waiter saw them being extraordinary and thought they were distinguished guests, so he was very flattering. When he heard that he didn't even want the elegant seat, his face became a little lighter.

The lobby is very large, with thirty or forty tables, which seems to accommodate more than one hundred people. Until Li Yan came, it was already seven points full. Shortly after he sat down, he came again with twenties and thirty people, who were circling Li Yanzhi's table intentionally or unintentionally, and each looked for a seat to sit down.

Li Yanzhi was the person who was climbing up from the bottom. His eyes were sharp, and he glanced at Liu Xi and said in a low voice: "It's so much!" It turned out that he had seen that the dozens of people who had just come in were secret guards arranged by Liu Xi on his back. However, although Li Yanzhi understood it in his heart, he did not pursue it. He ate melon seeds and drank tea and enjoyed the Western drama on the stage.

This Western drama was invited to be a director. The White Nu [31 Novel Network] was a talented man in the Portuguese army. He was very happy with music and dance dramas. After his defeat, he was sold to Beijing. He suffered a lot. Fortunately, by chance, he was favored by the boss of the "Folang Buji" and promoted him to be the director of the restaurant. He set up a scene to start the business of a cultural restaurant. At the beginning, he hired some local actors to perform serious Western songs and dances. When the stage was first opened, it became popular for two or three days - the scholars and citizens in Beijing wanted to be fresh, but no one soon became interested. The boss was anxious and forced the director of the White Nu to perform local news in Western dramas. This made the restaurant popular. The business was booming, and the boss simply changed the name of the store to "Folang Buji".

At this time, the stage was a story about the East China Sea. It describes a Chinese family, a young and young family who fled to the west of Honshu Island in Japan because of fleeing famine. After several years of establishment, they suddenly encountered the attack of the Japanese coalition forces. A happy and fulfilling family immediately broke down and went into exile. First, they fled to Kyushu Island, and then were chased by the Japanese soldiers to the sea by the Japanese soldiers. Looking at the direction of the Ming Dynasty, the old man sang: "I thought about the past, fled to Japan, beat fish, and cultivated the land. After all, I met the Japanese soldiers came, and the water was deep. Now, there is a sea in front and a blade behind. There is no place to accommodate the world! Heaven is, how can you bear it? Let's pray that the Emperor and Queen Earth are pitiful, and we do not seek wealth, glory, peace and happiness, but I ask for a fallen leaves to return to the roots!"

The people in the audience were so soft that they could cry. Jiang Yifan sighed, "The words are just average, but their feelings are really pitiful." Someone sighed, "Why haven't the court sent troops yet? At least save them."

Seven or eight people responded in unison: "Yes, yes. These are all the Ming people who are wandering overseas. The imperial court should send troops to rescue them."

As he was talking, a boy suddenly jumped up and sneered: "What do you know! These guys are not worthy of pity!"

Several old men said one after another: "What are you saying? Everyone has compassion. Seeing that there is no way out and there are pursuers behind, there is no way to survive. You actually say that they are not worthy of pity - young people, is your heart made of iron or copper? Even if it is unrelated, you have to shed a few tears for them, let alone that they are my Chinese people, and their blood is thicker than water."

A little fat man next to the boy, who was about the same age as him, sneered: "What kind of shit is thicker than water! I tell you: You want to pity him, go pity yourself! But why do you want to pull the court out of water and shout for troops to rescue him! Humph! Don't act so well in the stands, but do you know what these guys are actually?"

Someone asked, "What's wrong with these people?"

Li Yanzhi also turned his head and listened to the two boys talking.

"Haha, I know you don't know!" The fat man said, "We just came from the beach, so I know that when we were still in China, they were all dilapidated, refugees and beggars. They ran out regardless of the national ban because they were greedy for money overseas, and even lost their household registration in the Ming Dynasty - since they were willing to be a foreigner, it still has to do with our Ming Dynasty bird? Now our Ming Dynasty has a better life, but they can't survive outside, so they are going back one after another, saying that falling leaves return to their roots - I bah!"

A scholar said: "You can't say that. They fled to a foreign country when they fled to famine, which was forced by the situation, so they had to do it."

Many people said: "Yes."

A businessman in the crowd laughed out loud, and then cried three times. Others wondered and asked him what was wrong. The businessman said, "I laughed at the scholar, but I was a relative of mine!" Everyone was puzzled, and the businessman said, "This scholar was sitting in this restaurant and saying that those who were settled in and fled to Japan were forced to do it! Well, I just thought they were unsatisfied at the beginning, but do you know, what are the things these people do after they arrived in Japan?"

"What's the matter?" several people asked.

"What they did was burn, kill, kill, loot, kidnap, kidnap!" The businessman said with a heartache: "And they burn, kill, loot, kidnap, kidnap, kidnap, kidnap, came to China, which was 'blood thicker than water'! My brother...my brother...was killed, kidnap!" When he said this, he burst into tears.

Seeing that he was so sad, Jiang Yifan thought he was not telling a lie. He pulled Li Yanzhi's sleeve and said, "Sanshe, this debate reminds me of the intense debate between Shuangyu and Wang Zhi back then."

Li Yanzhi nodded slightly. Many customers in the restaurant were infected by the merchant and said, "If this is the case, then these people are really not worthy of the court's troops." But when the merchant told the story of how the Chinese pirates under Poshan ruled to harm the Chinese businessmen in Japan, they were actually a practical matter, and their speech was quite touching.

An old man who originally supported the rescue of Chinese people in Japan sighed, "It turns out, it turns out."

A young man asked him: "What's the truth?"

The old man said, "I heard that the Chinese people in Japan are all under the command of the demon monk Poshan. This demon monk had colluded with the Giant King at the time. He was my enemy of the Ming Dynasty. What kind of good thing can those who follow him be!"

The merchant nodded and said, "No, not bad! I heard that although the Chinese in Jiuzhou came from the Ming Dynasty, they only recognized the demon monks in Poshan and were not loyal to our Ming Dynasty. Speaking of which, they first cut off themselves from the Ming Dynasty, and did not burn incense and were anxious to seek Buddha. For such heartless people, why should we use a hot face to stick their cold butts?"

Gradually, the crowd was divided into two factions. One faction said: "If we say so, these people are really self-inflicted, so we don't need to care about them." The other faction said: "But they are our own people after all. If we don't care about them and let them be massacred and expelled by Japanese slaves, it is because the national prestige is damaged."

Suddenly, a loud voice said: "It's okay if the national prestige is damaged or not. But another thing is more important!" The person who spoke was a young noble man, and the place where he sat was separated from Li Yanzhi was a table.

Li Yan raised his eyes and couldn't help but be stunned: "Why is he here!"

Jiang Yifan did not recognize the person and asked, "I don't know what the more important thing the young master said?" (To be continued. If you want to know what happens next, please log in.qidian., more chapters, support the author, and support genuine reading!) (To be continued)
