Chapter 2317: Civil servant of the heart

"Today I will teach you another skill for my father." Zhao Zhilong looked at his son in front of him and said, "Although our Zhao family is a lord who lives with the country, we only have an earl, so we should leave more ways for ourselves if we do anything."

Upon hearing this, Mr. Zhao suddenly realized.

I immediately understood that he went to see the man with the tiger flag and said the words his father asked him to tell him, which was the way for their Earl's Mansion to leave for his family.

The largest lord in Nanjing is Duke of Wei.

The two dukes of the Ming Dynasty showed that the Xu family had the power of the Ming Dynasty, and the two dukes of the Xu family were passed down from generation to generation until the Ming Dynasty was destroyed.

"Father, the second son of Xingcheng Bo met a man with the tiger flag in the Qinhuai River." Xu Yinjue, the son of Duke of Wei, told his father the news sent by the person below.

After hearing this, Duke Xu Hongji of Wei nodded.

The Duke of Wei was in Nanjing for many years. He had been the garrison of Nanjing and was in charge of military affairs in Nanjing. There were too many Duke of Wei's suspicion and people who wanted to please the Duke of Guo's Mansion in Nanjing.

"The Sakura Cheng Bo is like a snake and a rat at both ends. Father, do you think you should warn the Sakura Cheng Bo?" Xu Yinjue asked.

After hearing this, Xu Hongji, Duke of Wei, shook his head and said, "No, Xingcheng Bo always likes to leave a way out. Although he sent his son to meet the people from the tiger flag, he will still stand on our side. He is the most sober. Only the Ming Dynasty can let Xingcheng Bo's lineage be with the country."

If a person is old and never dies, he is a thief.

Xu Hongji, who has been Duke of Wei for many years, knows the nobles in Nanjing very well. He can be said to be clear about what kind of character each person has.

"Is it because I am afraid that one day the tiger flag will invade Nanjing from the north?" Xu Yinjue didn't like the Earl's Mansion's actions, but he guessed in his heart the reason why Earl's Mansion did this.

Xu Hongji, Duke of Wei, chuckled, "It is not so easy for northern soldiers to come to the south. I think Xingcheng Bo does this because the tiger flag is on the navy of Dayuan Island."

Nanjuyi once wanted to deal with the Huqiuqiu navy on the Dayuan Island, but in the end he failed.

Therefore, it is no longer a secret that a navy of the Tiger Flag was stationed on the Dayuan Island. Moreover, the Duke of Wei was involved in the sea trade, so he naturally knew some of the things about the Tiger Flag on the sea.

"Actually, the child also has concerns about this." Xu Yinjue said, "The navy of the tiger flag on Dayuan Island should not be underestimated. Even the navy of Hongmaoyi had defeated him. His strength was far stronger than the navy of the Ming Dynasty in Fujian."

Hearing this, Duke Xu Hongji of Wei looked over and said, "The tiger flag has been operating in the sea trade for a few years. Do you know why those civil servants cut off the business in the sea trade for a tiger flag at this time?"

"For the Ming Dynasty?" Xu Yinjue asked tentatively.

Xu Hongji, Duke of Wei, frowned and said, "You, my father and son don't need to use these words to deceive others here, just tell the truth as you want."

For the sake of the Ming Dynasty, words were used to deceive the people and lower-level officials.

When I really arrived at a top noble family like them, I knew very well that nothing was more important than the wealth of my family.

"Those civil officials took action for the huge profits of the tiger flag in the sea trade." Xu Yinjue said.

Xu Hongji, Duke of Wei, nodded with satisfaction, and said, "You are right. Those civil servants, who claim to be gentlemen, have a dirtier heart in secret than lords like us. They saw the opportunity to take advantage of the tiger flag. Otherwise, the navy stationed on Dayuan Island would not dare to use the courage of them to attack the tiger flag. Do you really think that those civil servants knew that the warehouse was a tiger flag. The reason why they did not attack before was because they were afraid of attracting the navy on Dayuan Island."...

"Can they be no longer afraid now?" Xu Yinjue asked in confusion.

Xu Hongji, Duke of Wei, said: "The situation is different now. The tiger flag is used to deal with Pi Island and Lushun. But where do these soldiers and ships come from? Shanxi, Shaanxi, Henan and other places are not by the sea, so they can only draw the navy from Dayuan Island to Liaodong."

"What my father meant was that the navy sent to Liaodong by the Tiger Flag were all from Dayuan Island? And the remaining navy forces on Dayuan Island were insufficient, then

Only then did some civil servants choose to take action at this time.” Xu Yinjue suddenly realized.

Duke Xu Hongji of Wei sighed, "I understand why I say that those civil servants are heartbroken as a father! Because they have indeed chosen a good opportunity."

"But my father, with the power of the Navy of the Tiger Flag, he could return to Dayuan Island from Liaodong. At most, he could only damage the interests of the Tiger Flag in the sea trade for a short time." Xu Yinjue said worriedly.

Xu Hongji, Duke of Wei, sighed and said, "Your eyes always revolve around the Jiangnan area, but you don't see clearly the situation in Liaodong."

"The situation in Liaodong?" Xu Yinjue looked puzzled.

Xu Hongji, Duke of Wei, said: "If it is just a Pi island, across the sea from Zhenjiang, there are thousands of soldiers on the island that can be defended, but Lushun is different. It is directly bordered by the pseudo-jin, and behind it is facing Denglai across the sea. It can be said that the tiger-shaped flag takes Lushun, which is equivalent to being attacked from both sides. Not only should you beware of slave thieves in Liaodong, but you should also be wary of the navy in Dengzhou. Now you understand!"

"The boy understands." Xu Yinjue said, "My father means that the navy with the tiger flag must be guarded against our Ming Dynasty naval forces, so we cannot return to Dayuan Island. The soldiers and horses of Lushun also need the support of their naval forces. Therefore, the tiger flag on Dayuan Island is empty, so those civil servants dare to take action at this time."

Seeing that his son really understood, Xu Hongji, Duke of Wei, nodded.

Just when Duke Wei and Xingcheng Bo were teaching their children, the Foreign Intelligence Bureau of the Tiger Banner in Nanjing also figured out the whole story.

The tiger-shaped flag was hit in the warehouse in Nanjing City, and it was indeed done by the nobles and gentry forces in Nanjing City, with gentry forces as the main force, and the nobles played a role in fueling the fire.

The news was sent to Datong and Dayuan Island through special channels from the Foreign Intelligence Bureau as soon as possible.

Since Dazhong Island needs to take a boat to sea to get the news back, Dazhong Island learns the news later than Dazhong Island.

However, the movements of the Dayuan Island are not slow.

When Zheng Tie returned to the Dayuan Island, he didn't care about the reason why the Tiger Flag was in Nanjing City or which force was responsible for it, but he knew it must be related to the local forces in Nanjing City.

So, he directly fought back.

The warships stationed on Dayuan Island left the port and patrolled on different routes to intercept all Ming ships.

People who can go out to do sea trade business are naturally not ordinary people, and ordinary people cannot afford such business. Sea trade business is focused on the name of banning the sea, so it is not enough to be rich, you must be rich and powerful to interfere in sea trade...
