The eldest grandson of Emperor Ming Dynasty!

Chapter 723 Intervening in the Champa Gang
Champa port.

The prosperity here is almost the same every day.

It was originally a large-scale fishing village, but after the Ming Dynasty opened up the sea and vigorously developed the sea trade, it became more and more prosperous.

Departing from Changle, Fujian Province in the Ming Dynasty, it takes ten days to reach Champa Port with the wind, while it only takes five days to depart from Hong Kong Island.

In contrast, the trade along the coast of Annan is worse.

Even if the coast of Annan is closer to Daming in terms of distance, Qiongzhou Island blocks the coast of Annan, but the coastal location of Champa is better.

Among them, the key is the influence of wind.

The flow of the monsoon makes it easier for ships to reach the port of Champa.

At this moment, on the edge of the port.

Several large ships with golden flags gradually sailed into the port from afar.

The surrounding merchant ships saw it and began to yell at the sailors for turning to avoid it.

Anyone with a little knowledge can recognize that this is the Ming imperial family's banner. If it collides with it, it will be a serious crime.

According to the laws of Ming Dynasty, the territory ruled by the dependent countries also belonged to the territory ruled by Ming Dynasty.

Soon the Daming navy stationed at the port discovered it.

"That's my Great Ming Banner, quickly, quickly inform the Commander."

The soldier exclaimed, and then ran wildly towards the station of the Daming Navy.

At this moment, Jin Kaishan was drinking tea with a group of generals, when he heard the news of the soldiers, he immediately got up and issued military orders.

"A military order is issued to immediately dispatch twelve warships to greet them, and martial law is imposed on the nearby docks."

"Everyone, follow me to meet the angel."

The only ones who can use the golden banners are the imperial family of Ming Dynasty. The few ships are obviously not from the imperial palace, and this ostentation is too small.

Generally speaking, only the eunuch who is responsible for delivering the decree will do so.

On the pier, a large number of navy soldiers came running in unison, and the surrounding merchants and workers gave way one after another.

Some foreign businessmen who didn't know why didn't understand the rules, and wanted to come forward to watch, but were immediately pulled away by acquaintances.

"Do you want to die?"

"Can't you watch it? I'm in our country, even if His Majesty the King travels, I can watch it."

"That's your country, and these are Ming soldiers. If you get close to them, you will be treated as an assassin. They may arrest you, or they may directly kill you."

Hearing this, the foreign businessman didn't dare to approach it immediately, because he didn't dare to go past when he saw other people on the pier.

He didn't know that this rule was forged with blood. Before that, many people had been arrested, and those who dared to make trouble were killed by Ming soldiers on the spot.

The local government in Champa obviously doesn't care about such things, and they don't dare to.

Jin Kaishan rushed to the edge of the pier with a crowd of thousands of households.

Watching the royal ships in the distance slowly approaching under the escort of naval warships.

When we got to the pier, soldiers immediately went to bring ladders to make it easier for people on board to get off.

Jin Kaishan watched carefully, seeing the head eunuch wearing the clothes of a young prisoner, his heart trembled immediately, he went up to him, apologized and said:

"Jin Kaishan, the commander of the navy stationed in Champa, and each of the thousands of households with the navy, paid homage to the angel."

The leading eunuch replied with a smile: "Our family is Li Youwei, the head of the Kunning Palace and the young supervisor. This time, we are here to fulfill the orders of His Royal Highness."

Hearing that it was the grandson, Jin Kaishan immediately became more respectful.

"I've met Eunuch Li, this is not a place to talk, please also ask Eunuch Li to move to my navy camp."

Li Youwei nodded, and led four eunuchs and a group of guards, surrounded by thousands of households waiting for you in Jinkai Mountain, towards the direction of the navy camp.

After they all left, the soldiers lifted the martial law on the pier.

The excitement just now resumed.

The location of the navy camp is still some distance away, and several thousand households behind are discussing in low voices.

"This eunuch doesn't seem to have come here to deliver an order. From what it means, he intends to stay here."

"It's troublesome, could it be that the imperial court doesn't trust us?"

"Maybe there are other things, but this one comes from Kunning Palace, which means His Highness the Grandson. Even if we don't have official appointments, don't we dare to violate his orders?"

"Let's see and talk, this means that our navy has an extra master, I'm afraid we should be careful in the future."

The thousands of households in the navy are obviously very unfriendly to the arrival of Li Youwei, the young prisoner. As far as the word of doing business is concerned, even if they are not stationed here, it means that they will not leave in a short time.

In the navy camp.

Jin Kaishan respectfully said: "Please sit down, Eunuch Li."

Li Youwei glanced at the position representing the commander of the navy at the top, shook his head with a smile, walked to the left side of the bottom, did not sit down, and then said: "Commander Jin misunderstood, our family is ordered by the grandson I didn’t come here to compete with Commander Jin for military power.”

After finishing speaking, he glanced at the eunuch beside him, and the eunuch immediately took out a document from his body and handed it to Jin Kaishan.

After Jin Kaishan took over, Li Youwei said: "This is the letter of appointment from the Ministry of Officials, please take a good look at Commander Jin."

When Jin Kaishan opened the letter of appointment, he saw the first sentence: Li Youwei, the head of the Kunning Palace and the young supervisor, will be the supervisor of the navy stationed in Champa.

Seeing this sentence, Jin Kaishan's heart skipped a beat.

However, the following content made Jin Kaishan feel relieved.

It explains the powers of supervision in detail.

Supervise naval soldiers to practice in accordance with military laws, monitor military regulations, inspect naval logistics, military pay, corruption and other violations of the law.

No interference in naval military operations, no intervention in naval staff, no right to order the various departments of the navy.

The first sentence made Jin Kaishan a little nervous, but the last three sentences made Jin Kaishan feel at ease.

Although there is no war here, it is still a headache for an outsider to guide an insider, and this Eunuch Li is still from the grandson's Kunning Palace, even more so.

Jin Kaishan returned the letter of appointment to Eunuch Li, then slightly cupped his hands and took the top spot.

Thousands of households feel at ease seeing this.

Obviously, the navy still had the final say on Commander Jin, and was not seized by eunuchs.

After Jin Kaishan sat down, he talked about Eunuch Li's appointment. Hearing what he said later, the stone in everyone's heart really fell to the ground.

Thousands of households expressed that they would hold a grand welcome banquet for Eunuch Li, which made everyone applaud.

"Let's not be busy with the banquet. Our family's appointment this time is mainly to handle a few things according to the grandson's wishes. This requires the assistance of Commander Jin and all the thousands of households." Li Youwei said with a smile.

Jin Kaishan hurriedly said: "Eunuch, please explain in detail."

No one dared to neglect what the grandson wanted to do, and the other thousand households also leaned forward slightly, as if to listen attentively.

Seeing this, Li Youwei was very satisfied.

When he was in Kunning Palace, he was just a junior supervisor in charge, and there was a middle supervisor above him, and the head eunuch of Kunning Palace was naturally the eunuch Guo Zhong, Bingbi, the supervisor of ceremonies.

Guo Zhong naturally waits on Taisun's side at any time during the day.

And when the grandson is not in Kunning Palace, the chief supervisor is in charge.

As the chief junior prisoner, he was responsible for the period from early morning to dawn.

To put it simply, after the grandson went to bed, he was in charge of the arrangements for the eunuchs and maids of Kunning Palace. From another perspective, he was on night shift.

It sounds good, but there is almost no chance to contact the grandson on weekdays, so I go to sleep during the day, and the grandson sleeps when I go to work at night.

It's embarrassing.

As a eunuch, you can't show your face in front of the grandson, so what chance will you have for promotion.

Li Youwei didn't complain. In fact, he was already very good at this official position. Although he had less contacts, although the promotion was small, the risk was also small.

In the group of eunuchs and court ladies, the young prison is already a very high position.

After the reform of the current salary system, Li Youwei sent all the extra money back to his family to take care of his relatives and clans.

Sometimes I can help with things that do not violate the law.

Perhaps because of Li Youwei's conscientious performance, the matter of going to the Champa Navy Division to supervise this time fell on him, and it was the grandson who called the name.

This made Li Youwei flattered.

Before leaving, Taisun specially summoned him and ordered some arrangements and the main tasks in Champa.

In particular, it is mentioned that one should not despise the navy as an eunuch of the Kunning Palace, and to live in harmony and not to meddle in matters related to military power.

Regarding the grandson's explanation, Li Youwei naturally kept it in mind, and did not dare to overstep in the slightest.

That's why after arriving here, he behaved so approachable, and there was no situation where he had to rely on his grandson and pretend to be a tiger.

This also won the favor of the navy generals including Jin Kaishan.

After thinking about it in his heart, Li Youwei began to talk about the grandson's arrangement.

The first is about the Governor of Champa Port.

This is Empress Nafei's biological father, and the naval division should provide appropriate help, so that His Royal Highness cannot make things difficult for Empress Nafei.

Regarding this matter, Jin Kaishan and others expressed their views one after another.

Although the previous support was not strong, the sailors have never deliberately targeted the governor of the port in Champa, and they also know that His Royal Highness is involved.

Now that Taisun has spoken, of course he must obey Taisun's arrangement.

The second is about opening up the stronghold of the Daming Ocean Trading Chamber of Commerce.

Now Champa is full of gangs, even in the royal capital of Champa, there are many gang members gathering.

The life of the people at the bottom of Champa is very difficult. They are often exploited by high-caste nobles, and food is a big problem.

After feeling the benefits of joining gangs, many young and middle-aged people began to join gangs to seek asylum, and the gangs from Daming didn't care about these nobles in Champa at all. They needed more thugs. Of course, they would not refuse these low-level people. .

According to incomplete statistics, there are now more than 50 gang members in the entire Champa city.

Like the porters on the pier, almost all of them are members of the water gang.

If you don't join the Cao Gang, you are not qualified to be a porter on the dock.

The Champa nobles who were originally local snakes have now been replaced by major gangs.

Some of the Champa nobles also established their own local gangs to fight against Ming's gangs.

Under such circumstances, the development of the Daming Ocean Trade Chamber of Commerce did not go smoothly.

Anyone who runs a business in Champa is restricted by the gang, and the Ocean Trade Chamber of Commerce is not allowed to do things in the name of the grandson. After all, there are too many gray and black transactions involved, which will easily affect Daming's reputation. .

Zhu Ying felt a little helpless when she got the news, she didn't expect Zhancheng to become like this.

Originally, he just planned to send a message to Zhancheng to ask Jin Kaishan to help Nafei's governor's father, but after thinking about it in his heart, he simply sent an eunuch to help him in other ways.

As the military of the Ming Dynasty, it is naturally impossible for the navy to participate in the disputes between the gangs.

As for the port, there is suppression by the navy, and except for the initial confusion, it has been relatively peaceful.

"Is Eunuch Li coming in person?" Jin Kaishan couldn't help asking.

Li Youwei shook his head: "Although our family can't act on behalf of His Royal Highness, we are still from the Kunning Palace. Such matters can only avoid suspicion, and the specific contact should be made by Commander Jin."

Jin Kaishan understood that this was to get him involved in the gang.

That is to support a gang to cooperate with the Ocean Trade Chamber of Commerce.

The process is not important, what Taisun wants is the result.

Apart from these things, Li Youwei also told Jin Kaishan about his undercover plan.

In the event that an undercover agent is exposed, Jin Kaishan's naval forces are required to provide some support.

Zhu Yingna was called an undercover agent, and from Jin Kaishan's point of view, he was placed in the gang's secret service.

This is naturally a matter of course.

In addition to asking his subordinates to learn about the Champa gang, Jin Kaishan naturally hosted a banquet for Li Youwei.

Although Li Youwei cannot intervene in military affairs, he has the right to supervise all aspects of corruption and abuse of power within the navy.

If he really wanted to make a small report to his superiors, Jin Kaishan would not be able to bear it.

The future is long, and apart from normal business, the navy has a lot of money here in Champa.

Now that Eunuch Li is here, this one cannot be missed.

After drinking and eating, the sailors Qianhu also felt relieved.

"I didn't expect this eunuch to be easy to get along with. I heard that this eunuch has a very surly personality because he lacks a man's business. Looking at it now, it's not the case."

"There is a designation, but you don't know where it came from. It came from the grandson. Of course it is different from other eunuchs."

"I said to you two, don't talk eunuchs. In the capital, these things are the most taboo. Whoever doesn't pay attention to them is someone else's pain point. If it spreads, you will cause trouble if it's nothing. You should call me Eunuch, Eunuch Li."

"That's right, please keep some morals, don't talk about it behind your back, so as not to cause trouble in vain."

A group of Qianhu, who had drunk their tongues, hooked their shoulders and walked unsteadily while chatting.

What they didn't notice was the eunuch who was eavesdropping in the corner.

After all the thousands of households left, the eunuch went back to report to Li Youwei.

Eavesdropping is the most normal thing in the palace. Even when you come to Champa, this ability is engraved in your heart.

Li Youwei was somewhat satisfied after listening to the eunuch's report.

There is no eunuch who doesn't care about his dignity as a man.

The word "eunuch" is a deep insult.

After drinking some wine, Li Youwei went to bed early. When he was in the palace, he didn't dare to drink. Now that he came out, he wanted to have a lot of fun.
