Daming: I, Yang Xian, really govern Yang!

Chapter 213 Japanese pirates become monsters
Before the Ming Dynasty went to fight against Japan, there was another bad pirate robbery incident on the southeast coast.

Yang Xian frowned after seeing the secret message from the south.

After taking over the Shen family's properties from various places, Mingji now has his own intelligence network, mainly relying on restaurants, teahouses, storytellers and entertainers in various places.

The object that was robbed had something to do with him. It was the property of the Shen family, a merchant ship used to secretly trade overseas.

For the Shen family, it was a leaky house and it rained all night. They sold iron and steel to raise 3000 million taels of silver to the court, and more than half of their property had been sold.

Today there are only a few properties left, and at this time they were still being plundered by Japanese pirates.

Yang Xian couldn't help but recall the scene of an old man struggling in the wind and rain, supporting a dilapidated cabin that was about to collapse at any time.

Over at the imperial court, I don’t know how well the preparations for going to sea are going.

In recent years, the disturbances caused by Japanese pirates have become more and more serious along the southeast coast.

At this time, a serious "political movement" broke out in Japan, which was the so-called "North-South Schism Period". The situation was turbulent and various major forces were constantly competing.

In this political competition, the winner occupied a large amount of land in Japan, and the loser had to find another way out. Some samurai who failed in the war fled to the sea, and Japanese pirates naturally became more and more numerous.

Because of Yang Xian, the emergence of refined salt, woolen sweaters, colored glaze and other commodities in recent years has made these Japanese pirates even more crazy.

If some Japanese pirates are lucky and return to Japan after plundering once, they will basically have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of their lives.

Anyone else would rush here like crazy.

Suzhou.

The Shen family's ancestral home.

Since lending out the 3000 million taels of silver, the Shen family has plummeted.

Many of the servants at home were also sent away.

This time, there were many fewer people in the lobby for discussion.

"Dad, please think of a way. I only have a son named Nan'er. If something happens to him, I don't want to live anymore." A woman cried.

The woman is the daughter-in-law of Shen Wansan's youngest son, Shen Rong.

It turns out that not only the goods of the Shen family were robbed, but also the people on the ship were also robbed by the Japanese pirates. Among them was Shen Rong's son, Shen Wansan's grandson Shen Nan.

"How can you, a woman, speak here? Go back and stay in the house! Stop causing trouble here!" Shen Rong scolded his wife with a cold face.

"Third brother, my brothers and sisters also care about Nan'er." Shen Wang on the side advised him.

Shen Wang's daughter-in-law also said quietly at this time: "I don't see you caring about your son. My Ping'er is also working hard for our Shen family outside. I'm sure something will happen one day. It's not like the big brother's family. Our two children are in Yangzhou, so we don’t need to worry."

After hearing this, Shen Mao's face turned livid, but he felt uncomfortable for a while.

As the eldest son of Shen, he married a wife who was his childhood sweetheart in his early years.

It's a pity that this wife had nothing to do until she died of illness.

Shen Mao then continued his string.

Shen Xia and Shen Cheng can be said to be the sons of Shen Mao.

This is also the reason why although he is the eldest son of Shen, his child is the youngest.He was also not close to his two children, Shen Xia and Shen Cheng. It was precisely because Shen Wansan saw this that he took them with him.

Snapped!
A loud slap sounded.

Shen Wang's wife was suddenly slapped in the face, and she was about to curse angrily when she raised her head and saw Shen Wansan's angry face.

Like an angry old lion.Shen Wang's daughter-in-law was frightened by Shen Wansan's sudden appearance. She had never seen Shen Wansan show such a terrifying expression in all the years she had been married to the Shen family.

"Ping'er is your son. Is there any mother like you who curses your own son for something to happen?" Shen Wansan raised the crutch in his hand, pointed at the stupid woman's forehead, and yelled loudly.

"Dad, calm down, Dandan never meant this." Shen Wang stepped forward, dragged his wife, and cursed loudly. "Why don't you apologize to dad quickly!"

The woman was frightened and was almost dragged to her knees by Shen Wang.

A man who started from scratch and eventually built a huge business empire and became the richest man in the country cannot be compared to such a stupid woman.

Shen Wansan has controlled this business empire for decades, and his power and means are unparalleled. The three words Shen Wansan represent the Shen family.

It is precisely because of this that even though he is now gray-haired and half buried in the ground, even today, when the Shen family is in turmoil, no one in the family dares to have any dissent!

Shen Wansan glanced at his daughter-in-law, and he naturally knew that she did not mean to curse his son in her words, but Shen Wansan could see the little thoughts in her heart at a glance.

At this time, to have such thoughts is really stupid as a pig!

"Father, calm down," Shen Mao said.

Shen Wansan glanced at the woman kneeling on the ground, with a look of boredom in his eyes, waved his hands and said: "Seven days of grounding, shut up and think about your mistakes."

"Yes."

Soon, servants helped the lady out of the Shen family hall.

"Ms. sir, why don't we report to the government?" Shen Rong's wife held Shen Rong's hand and cried.

Shen Wansan, who was sitting in the main seat, saw this scene and then said: "Young mistress is tired, please take her down to rest."

As soon as the voice fell, two servants stood up and were about to take Shen Rong's wife down.

The woman glanced at her husband, obviously not wanting to leave.

But Shen Rong directly tore off her hand, but before leaving, he ordered his subordinates to take good care of her.

Reporter?

Is this something that anyone with a normal mind can think of?

You must know that it is illegal for their Shen family to conduct overseas trade secretly.

After the founding of the People's Republic of China, Zhu Yuanzhang promulgated what is known as the strictest maritime ban policy.

First, an order was issued to "stop the shipping department of Huangdu City, Taicang", and then important ports along the coasts of Fujian, Zhejiang and Guangdong were officially closed and ships were prohibited from traveling.

To sum it up, it can be summed up in six words - "Nothing is allowed to enter the sea."

If you report to the official now, doesn't it mean you just throw yourself into a trap? I don't know if the imperial court will help send troops to rescue people, but the imperial court will definitely send people to arrest and imprison the Shen family members.

Shen Wansan also knew that the woman was so worried about her son, so she didn't blame her.

"Father, I have contacted Captain Li and asked him to help find out the news. If Nan'er does not fall into the hands of the Japanese, news will come back soon." Shen Mao said.

Shen Wansan nodded and said: "I will go to Yangzhou in person, and you guys will keep an eye on Captain Li. As soon as there is new news, we will send someone to Yangzhou as fast as possible."

"Yes, Father!"

Shen Mao, Shen Wang, and Shen Rong said in unison.
