The eldest grandson of Emperor Ming Dynasty!

Zhenhaiwei is no ordinary guard.

Compared with ordinary guards, Zhenhaiwei is now a city due to its special nature.

Even if it is compared to the real county town, it will not give in at all.

It is not only a mountain city, but also a sea city.

There are Houshan, Gushan, Zhaoshan, Yaoshan, and Cangshan in the city, collectively referred to as "Five Star Mountains", and the two mountains outside the city, "Jiutongtou" and "Digongshan", are collectively called "Seven Stars Landing".

There is Elephant Trunk Hill in the south of the city, which is connected to Qiwei Mountain and surrounds Hongjiang Port.

This harbor is calm and calm, and it is a natural safe haven. Whenever there is a storm, hundreds of passing ships gather here, which is quite spectacular.

In the distance, the sea and the sky are vast, and the islands of Dongding and Nanding dot the sea, which is really beautiful.

There are 99 wells everywhere in the city, which were dug by Zhou Dexing, Marquis of Jiangxia.

These wells are distributed on the side of the stone path, beside the banyan tree and in the courtyard.

There are not only beautiful mountains and seas inside and outside Zhenhaiwei, but also many shops, and many chambers of commerce gather here.

At this time, in Zhenhaiwei City, in the lobby of the Weisuo.

Seven burly men were eating wine and meat.

The leader is Chai Bai, commander of Zhenhaiwei.

There is a white character in Chai Bai's name, but he is not white at all, with a full face of beard and dark skin, which is comparable to Zhang Fei in the novel.

A tall and strong figure, half a head taller than ordinary people, a big knife, stained with countless blood, made great achievements.

"Brother, according to the news from the brothers, His Royal Highness Taisun made a private visit."

"First I went to Dantu, and then I went to Suzhou Mansion a few days ago. Will you come to our side recently?"

The man next to him bit off a large piece of pork head in one bite, and after swallowing a few bites, he asked Chai Bai above.

Although Chai Bai also looked reckless, the meat on the plate in front of him was chopped up, and he ate it with chopsticks instead of using his hands.

What didn't match her figure was the pair of eyes, which were a little small, and when they were slightly squinted, they became a slit, and they couldn't see the reality clearly.

Hearing this, he didn't answer directly, but turned his gaze to the other side. He was a man in brocade clothes. Although his body was also strong, he was not as exaggerated as others.

Feeling Chai Bai's gaze, the man put down his wine glass and said:
"I will definitely come, but I also sent my brothers to investigate. The targets of His Royal Highness are all civil servants, businessmen and the like."

"We are different, we are warriors, warriors who have been injured for Daming and have shed blood."

"The establishment of today's Ming Dynasty was achieved by brothers who fought with swords and guns. Even His Majesty today has never seen any guard."

"Not to mention that we are now following Liang Guogong, and we are still the direct line of His Highness the Grandson. On weekdays, even in the Qunying Chamber of Commerce, the brothers have never intervened."

"So there is nothing to worry about. According to my guess, His Royal Highness's trip must be mainly in Shanghai County."

"It seems that the civil officials and merchants in Shanghai County have offended them."

After the man finished speaking, the other four also put down their wine and meat.

Everyone understands, the eldest brother is about to speak.

Chai Bai was satisfied when he saw that the brothers understood the rules so well.

He took the silk cloth next to him and wiped the oil stains around his mouth, and then he said: "Sha Qianhu is right, we are considered His Highness Taisun's people, so don't worry too much, and disturb the morale of the brothers."

"However, since His Royal Highness has come to our side, we can't say that we have gone too far. There are some things that should be restrained or restrained. If something is really messed up, don't blame me as a big brother for not being sympathetic. "

"They are all brothers who have shed blood on the battlefield. Now is the time for us to enjoy the blessings. You have made a lot of money over the years, and it is time to stop."

Regarding His Highness Taisun, Chai Bai said it easily, but he was very afraid in his heart.

It can even be said to be a little scared.

The first general Chai Bai followed was Jiang Xiahou, including the leading Qianhus from Zhenhaiwei.

Jiang Xiahou died a terrible death.

The dignified Marquis, just so quietly, in the capital of the Ming Dynasty, disappeared if he said nothing.

At the beginning, many warriors felt that this might be a signal from His Majesty to take action against the guard. During that time, many people became cautious.

Especially Chai Bai, who was so frightened that he couldn't sleep all night, for fear that when he woke up one day, a decree would come and directly kill Lian Zuo.

On His Majesty's side, it's not easy to talk about. Killing people is as easy as eating and drinking.

Chai Bai once heard the news from the capital that this one was killed, that one was slaughtered, or a certain family was wiped out, a certain clan was wiped out.

When he heard the news at the time, he didn't have any superfluous thoughts, no different from the melon-eating crowd watching the theater.

But it's completely different if it involves yourself alone.

During that time, in the entire Zhenhaiwei, there were not many leaders who could sleep well.

It is impossible to run.

Maybe ordinary sergeants don't care, but almost none of these officers can escape.

Besides, before the decree came, who would be willing to see the glory and wealth in front of him.

It can only be constantly sent to inquire.

Fortunately, the news from the capital came that it was Jiang Xiahou's son, Zhou Ji, who caused chaos in the palace, which led to his death.

It may sound unbelievable, but at least it is a result, which means that the matter is over, and everyone is relieved.

It wasn't until later that some gossip said that it was because Jiang Xiahou's son had offended His Highness the Grandson, which made His Majesty furious and killed Jiang Xiahou as well.

Chai Bai intuitively felt that the gossip later was the most reliable.

Jiang Xiahou is from His Majesty's hometown, and Zhou Ji can be regarded as His Majesty's nephew. Besides, Jiang Xiahou is only such a single seedling.

Zhou Ji Chai Bai was also familiar with him. He was a bit of a jerk on weekdays, but he also knew how to behave.

Seemingly domineering, but in fact he is a cowardly father and son, so cowardly, how dare he act wildly in the court.

In particular, when Chai Bai knew that the owner of the Qunying Chamber of Commerce was actually His Royal Highness the current Taisun, he became even more frightened.

Chai Bai is no stranger to the Qunying Chamber of Commerce, not only no stranger, but also very familiar with it.

Today's Zhenhaiwei, in the past few years, can have such a leap forward development, it can be said that it has an inseparable connection with the Snowflake Salt of the Qunying Chamber of Commerce.

As early as the first time Snowflake Salt appeared on the market, Chai Bai was keenly aware of the high profits in it.

Then directly lead people, almost in a semi-forced form, directly snatching the right to sell Snowflake Salt in Shanghai County and its surrounding areas.

In other words, anyone who wants to buy or sell Snowflake Salt will have to buy a share from Zhenhaiwei.

With the convenience of water transportation and the advantages of Zhenhaiwei itself, even the Yanguan cannot compete with it.

Zhenhaiwei's other brothers also ate their mouths full of oil.

However, before His Highness Taisun's canonization ceremony, after knowing that it was the owner of the Qunying Chamber of Commerce, Chai Bai immediately cut off everything related to Snowflake Salt without hesitation.

Afterwards, it gave way to Qunying Chamber of Commerce in many ways, and the same is true for the controlled Cao Gang, who dared not fight at all.

The owner of Qunying Chamber of Commerce is a mysterious figure.

The rumors have always been in the Western Regions, how come he suddenly arrived in the capital, who knows.

Coupled with the later rumors of Xiaoling, what came back from the dead made Chai Bai stunned.

At that time, Chai Bai sighed: "Sure enough, he is a born emperor. Even if he lives in the dark, it is not comparable to ordinary people."

All kinds of news made Chai Bai feel a shadow of fear in his heart towards His Highness the Grandson.

The purpose of convening all the thousands of households this time is to let everyone calm down a bit recently, so that His Royal Highness Taisun will not have any clues to discover.

There is one thing he didn't say, that His Majesty may not touch those meritorious soldiers who once shed their lives and blood for Daming.

But His Royal Highness, it is not necessarily so.

Chai Bai hasn't read much, but the laws of Ming Dynasty are still clear.

If His Highness Taisun is serious, according to the law, none of the brothers present here, including him, can escape, and it is considered light to peel off the skin and fill it with grass.

"Brother, there is still a batch of goods coming over from the Cao Gang, and I don't know when His Royal Highness will come, or should we go first?"

"It's estimated that it will be enough in two or three days, so it shouldn't be a problem."

The first one, Qianhu, listened to the elder brother's words, hesitated a few times, and asked.

The goods of the Cao Gang he mentioned were of course nothing but smuggled goods.

You can earn a little money in a serious business, but only by doing smuggling can you make money quickly.

The establishment of Caobang is based on snowflake salt.

Snowflake salt is now a legitimate commodity, but for several years before that, it was all smuggled goods. Once it was found, it would be confiscated immediately.

Actually speaking, Zhenhaiwei really has a lot of credit for being able to distribute snowflake salt from Shanghai to the north and south. Without Zhenhaiwei's escort, smuggling such as snowflake salt may not be able to sell so well.

Snowflake salt can't be done anymore, but everyone has tasted the sweetness of smuggling, especially the Cao Gang, but there are many brothers who have retired from Zhenhaiwei.

Naturally, smuggling cannot be stopped. Without snowflake salt, other things can be done. Although the profit is less, but the channels are familiar, and they can still make a lot of money.

Hearing this, Chai Bai struggled for a while, and then said with certainty: "No, let the brothers go directly to the shore to unload the goods, and hide the things first."

"For money, it doesn't matter if you earn a little less, but for His Royal Highness, there can be no trouble."

"We are the direct descendants of His Highness the Grandson. If something goes wrong, it will embarrass His Highness the Grandson."

"I lost the face of His Royal Highness, what do you guys want?"

"He's gone, no matter how much money he has, he's going to use it for nothing."

Listening to the commander's reprimand, Qian Hu, who had just spoken, shrank his neck, as if he was about to be beheaded.

I was a little scared in my heart: "I just listened to my elder brother. When I turned back, I immediately told my brothers that everything has calmed down recently and I don't do anything. I will go to the kiln to play for a while before I talk about it."

"Wait until His Royal Highness is no longer with us, or doesn't come to our side, and then start."

Chai Bai praised: "You guy, you have a bit of understanding."

Then he said to those present: "Everyone, listen carefully, no matter what kind of business you are doing recently, all of them have been stopped, don't keep one, and be honest with me."

"Remember, supervise each other. Whoever is dishonest at this time will kill me and my brothers."

Hearing the reprimand, the burly man who spoke before asked again: "Brother, the water transport has stopped here, and the sea transport has also stopped."

Chai Bai thought for a while, but still gritted his teeth and said, "Stop, the trading at sea is also stopped, and no one is allowed to touch it."

Qianhu, who had a relatively normal body shape, said at this time: "A few days ago, the Japanese maritime merchants wanted to order a batch of firearms with us."

Chai Bai frowned and said, "Didn't I refuse? Other things are fine, but firearms are not good now. Now Song Guogong, King Yan, King Jin, and King Qi are all fighting against the Wa people in the Wa Kingdom."

"If a firearm suddenly appears in the hands of the Japanese, it will definitely shock the whole country. When the time comes to investigate strictly, I am afraid that none of the brothers will survive."

Although Chai Bai is also greedy for money, he also knows the importance of it.

It's a national war, but other things are fine, firearms are absolutely unacceptable.

At that time, the entire Zhenhaiwei will be executed.

The man replied: "Brother, I don't mean that. Of course I know about firearms."

"What I mean is, why don't we arrest the group of Japanese businessmen first, and then if there is news from His Royal Highness, we will directly capture them and present them to His Royal Highness."

"Brother also knows that there are so many brothers in the lower ranks now, if we fail to ensure that there are some small leaks, we may not be severely punished, but in the heart of His Royal Highness, the impression is not good."

"Now the imperial court is attacking the Japanese country. Once we arrest people like this, we will call it meticulous work. Let alone the credit, we must make a good impression on His Highness the grandson's side."

When Chai Bai heard this, his eyes lit up: "Well, Sha Hongguang, you really have a bright mind. It seems that the private school really didn't ask you to give it to Bai."

"At this juncture, I can still figure out these things, a good way, a good way!"

"If there is any reward from His Royal Highness, the first merit will be yours."

Chai Bai laughed out loud, extremely happy.

As for what is moral, black eats black.

In front of the future, it's a big deal.

Furthermore, since it is a Japanese businessman anyway, there is no need to talk about faith.

After hearing this, the brothers at the bottom, who were still looking gloomy, suddenly laughed along with Chai Bai.

The other guards don't know the details of the Qunying Chamber of Commerce, but the Zhenhai Guard who has cooperated with them for many years knows more or less.

Now that misfortune has turned into blessing, don't mention how happy it is.

"Okay, now that the strategy has been decided, there is no need to say more. You have dealt with thousands of households in the detailed operations of the Japanese country, so you should know the approximate location."

"I'll let you lead the way. Take two thousand brothers and surround them all. Don't let any of them escape."

"At that time, the future of the brothers will be on this."

Chai Bai nodded directly.

The thousands of households who were pointed out also stood up, patted their chests and replied: "Please don't worry, big brother, I can't escape even one of them."
