Do you know: I have a different surname: Wang, uncle Minglan.

Chapter 203: Go to sea to kill the Japanese and honor your ancestors!
The graves of Wei Yuan's grandfather, grandmother, and parents have all been moved.

Forget it, it's just a worry.

And Wei You did not tell Wei Yuan what the Taoist said.

The way of metaphysics in this world, if you believe it, there is it, if you don't believe it, there is none. If you say it, it doesn't make much sense.

After working hard all day, Wei Yuan finally got a moment of free time. As soon as he sat down in the old house, he saw an urgent battle report coming from Baili.

It is said that some soldiers saw Japanese pirates on the sea outside Fuzhou.

Wei Yuan attached great importance to it and immediately ordered that all currently trained naval forces be mobilized to the Fuzhou area. Before the sea transportation, a major cleanup should be carried out to ensure that the first sea transportation was worry-free.

Otherwise, if something goes wrong, he will bear the primary responsibility.

The next day.

Wei Yuan was preparing to return to Fuzhou to take charge personally.

Wei Yuan nodded and said: "I haven't looked at the trade contracts required by overseas countries yet. After reading them, I will pick out a few businesses that are suitable for us."

"It's just that it's hard for Sixth Sister to have to beg her own uncle for something like this."

"The Persian envoy severely criticized the Japanese envoy, saying that the Japanese pirates were all Japanese, and asked them to give an explanation or compensate the Persian merchants for their losses."

When Cai Xiang saw Wei Yuan, he couldn't help but go forward and said anxiously:

Minglan nodded.

Trouble?
Wei Yuan frowned slightly, turned over and dismounted, and said:

dead?
At the critical moment when shipping began, someone actually died?

Fan Chunren, the Southeast Economic Envoy, Cai Xiang, the Fujian Road Transport Envoy, and all officials in Fuzhou went to the city in person to greet him.

"With Master Fan here, what trouble can happen?"

Wei You said: "I have already written to the leader of the Stone Gang and asked him to transport the goods to Fuzhou."

Although she was a woman, she had seen Yangzhou's city defense soldiers. They were all old, weak, sick and disabled, and they could not compare with the rogue troops brought out by Wei Yuan himself.

Mrs. Sheng said: "That's not what I'm asking. Did Brother Yuan really promise your uncle that he could let Dafang participate in shipping?"

Then, Wei Yuan looked at Minglan and asked, "When do you plan to return to Beijing?"

"From now on, whether it is your father, your uncle, or other members of the Sheng family, if you make such a request again, you can just refuse it."

When Mrs. Sheng heard this, she laughed twice.

Fan Chunren also stepped forward, cupped his hands towards Wei Yuan, and said:
"A certain merchant from Persia was attacked by Japanese pirates at sea, and three people died."

Minglan shook her head and said, "No one can change my uncle's mind."

"General Wei, you are finally here. If you don't come, there will really be trouble."

Minglan talked about Wei Yuan moving the tombs of her grandfather and grandmother.

"It would be a good idea to take you around while I can still move."
-
Wei Yuan worked hard all the way, and after returning to Fuzhou, about four or five days had passed.

Mrs. Sheng said: "Don't think so much now. In a few days, we will set off for Suzhou."

"He didn't blame you, did he?"

Minglan said: "Grandma will have to wait for more than a month after my eldest grandmother's birthday. After some time, she may go to Suzhou and Hangzhou."

Mrs. Sheng sighed: "Sea transportation is a national policy. If anyone wants to participate, I'm afraid your uncle will also be in trouble."

"And what I told my uncle was not to let him get involved in the shipping business."

After returning to Youyang, the old lady also asked her about her trip to Guangling.

Minglan smiled, her voice became softer and softer, and she said, "How come, my uncle always loves me."

"You are his only niece. He has always loved and protected you."

Pinlan looked at the direction Wei Yuan was leaving, somewhat lost in thought, and murmured:

Minglan said: "What grandma said is that in the final analysis, it was because of her grandson that she allowed my uncle to accept his request."

On their way back to Youyang, Minglan and others.

"The Japanese envoy Ping Zhongsheng said that this was an unfounded accusation by the Persian state. He also said that something happened to the Persian merchants in our Dazhou waters. If something happened in the Japanese waters, they would compensate the Persians for their losses without the Persian envoy saying anything. "

Wei Yuan took the lead, and after a while, he disappeared from the eyes of Minglan and others.

"This should be done, but no matter what, your uncle still agreed to your uncle's request, mainly because of your face."

Seeing this, Chen Daniu looked at the soldiers behind him, waved his hand and said loudly: "Let's set off!"

Wei You said: "Please Commander Wei, please leave quickly. The shipping is about to start. Fuzhou needs your presence."

Sheng Changbai once said to her sincerely:
"This time my uncle was able to participate in the shipping business, thanks to the help of his uncle from the Wei family. If it weren't for Sixth Sister, I'm afraid my uncle would not even be able to see his uncle from the Wei family."

"Uncle Wei is truly a hero of our time."

"Even the troops he brought out had different spirits and spirits. It was scary to look at them."

After that, he got on his horse.

Wei Yuan said: "Suhang is good and worth a visit. If you need anything, go to the Imperial City Department there and just say she is my niece and they will help you."

Liu Yi, the governor of Fuzhou, said in a deep voice.

Wei Yuan's expression became more solemn after hearing this, "We haven't caused any trouble to them yet, but these crazy dogs have started to bite people randomly."

Fan Chunren’s main responsibility is to control maritime trade contracts and customize shipping rules.

Just like the troubles that occur at sea, they are not under his control and he cannot control them.

In the past few days, Wei Yuan was not in Fuzhou, and envoys from various countries were quarreling. Fan Chunren also spent a lot of effort to suppress the matter of the dead person.

Otherwise, if the commotion is too big, businessmen from overseas countries will become timid.

"By the way, there is one more thing. The Imperial City Division of Daizhou and Lanzhou sent urgent reports that many spies came from Liao and Xia. Just in the border area alone, the Imperial City Division arrested hundreds of people. According to the captured Xia The national secret agent said that this is only a small part."

"The purpose is to disrupt the normal opening of shipping."

Liu Yi continued.

Cai Xiang added: "On Fujian Road, there are many villages composed of families. In recent days, they have begun to build a large number of ships and have been wandering the sea in the name of salvage."

Hearing this, Wei Yuan was shocked.

It seems that, as Wang Anshi said, there are indeed many family bandits in the southeast area who are causing trouble.

But that wasn't what troubled him the most.

Because these forces are on the surface, they are easy to deal with. What is difficult is those enemy spies hiding in the dark.

A little carelessness may lead to another war between countries.

Anyway, Wei Yuan would be a general in Liao and Xia.

They will definitely take advantage of the critical moment when Dazhou begins shipping to stir up trouble. Even if they don’t provoke a war, Dazhou’s shipping will not be smooth sailing.

While everyone was talking, the personal guards behind Wei Yuan also arrived.

Wei Yuan also followed Fan Chunren and others into the city.

Now, in addition to keeping part of his troops in the Haiphong area, he has moved his base camp to Fuzhou City.

As long as he is in Fuzhou, the envoys from overseas countries will feel at ease.

He specially set up a large tent in the city defense camp in Fuzhou, which could accommodate dozens of people. Convenient to discuss shipping matters.

Over the years, he was still used to living in the barracks.

At this moment, in the big tent.

Lin Zhaoyuan, Yang Huairen, Xie Wu and other generals, as well as officials of all sizes in Fuzhou, all stood in front of Wei Yuan.

Fan Chunren sat next to Wei Yuan.

Wei Yuan looked at the crowd and slowly said:

"Things must be resolved one by one."

"Where is the commander of the Fujian Road Imperial City Division?"

As soon as he finished speaking, a tall man with a beard walked out from the crowd, clasped his fists towards Wei Yuan and said, "This is my humble duty."

Wei Yuan said: "From now on, the staff of the two Zhejiang and two Huai imperial cities will be under your command. I will send a letter to the court to inform you."

"I want you to stabilize Fuzhou at all costs. Remember not to miss a single fish. If the maritime trade is damaged due to the secret spies between the two countries, I will blame you."

"Remember, if Fuzhou is stable, you will have merit, if Fuzhou is unstable, you will be guilty."

The big man with the beard bowed solemnly and said: "Please rest assured, Marshal Wei. I have a humble position and the enemy's spies can't cause any trouble."

Wei Yuan nodded, looked at Cai Xiang, and said: "Send out all the city defense troops from all over Fujian Road to closely monitor the local banditry. If there is any abnormal movement, you can kill them first and then report them. There is no need to report everything to the commander."

Cai Xiang bowed and said, "Commander Wei, please rest assured, I will do my best."

Wei Yuan looked at Hu Yanzhong again, "Currently, how many naval forces have been trained that can go to sea?"

The latter responded: "Return to the Commander-in-Chief of Wei, more than four thousand."

Wei Yuan nodded, "From now on, all 4,000 navy troops will go out to sea and strictly inspect the sea area within a hundred miles. If Japanese pirates are found and the number of people on their ships is small, they will be killed on the spot without reporting."

Hu Yanzhong cupped his fists and said, "The last general has received his order!"

Wei Yuan added: "Lin Zhaoyuan, Shen Qing, and Xiao Yuming, from now on, the three of you, each with 2,000 men, will be stationed in the official posts of envoys from overseas countries."

"Remember, if there is an envoy in Fuzhou and there is a problem in our Zhou Dynasty, I will take it upon you!"

The three of them clasped their fists together and said, "The last general has the order!"

Wei Yuan looked at Chen Daniu and said earnestly: "In the afternoon, the Cai Zhuan Envoy will invite the Persian and Japanese envoys to the Yamen of the Yuan Dynasty Department."

"You are solely responsible for mediating the conflicts between the two countries. Remember, your attitude is always the same as my attitude toward Japanese envoys."

Chen Daniu was stunned for a moment, then came back to his senses and said: "The general will get the order!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Cai Xiang bowed and said: "Commander Wei, is it inappropriate to invite a general to interview the envoys of the two countries?"

As soon as these words came out, the generals and generals in the army looked at Cai Xiang with strange eyes, as if this man was so brave. Commander Wei personally gave an order, but he dared to question it?
Wei Yuan said with an indifferent expression: "You scholars, your tone is too gentle. Only when the general goes forward can the arrogance of the Japanese envoys be dispelled and they will not dare to make mistakes."

Cai Xiang nodded, and just as he was about to say something, Yang Huairen's voice came next to his ear,

"Just do whatever Commander Wei tells you to do, don't ask any more questions!"

Cai Xiang was startled, then realized that he had talked too much, and said quickly: "I know my mistake, General Wei, please forgive me."

Wei Yuan waved his hand, looked at Hu Yanzhong, and said: "Beat the drum, gather the water army, I have something to say."

Hu Yanzhong walked out of the tent quickly without any hesitation.

Fan Chunren watched Wei Yuan issue orders one after another, and in a blink of an eye, he easily solved some things that he thought were difficult, and couldn't help but admire him:

"As expected of Commander Wei, with just a few words, the problem that had been giving me a headache for so long was solved."

In fact, Fan Chunren is not incapable of solving this kind of thing.

But he couldn't command the army.

The soldiers of the Danglu army only listened to Wei Yuan.

Even if Yang Huairen, Chen Daniu and others speak, it may not be easy.

Not to mention, only Wei Yuan can mobilize these people.

At this time, Wei Yuan smiled and said: "I am a soldier, and I solve problems differently from you scholars."

"You care about the face of the envoys from various countries and are always timid in doing things, but as for me, no matter who he is in the Great Zhou Dynasty, as long as he is disobedient, he will be killed without mercy!"

As soon as he finished speaking, drums sounded outside the tent.

Wei Yuan said: "Master Fan, regarding the first batch of shipping, which merchants can participate and which overseas countries we need to do business with, you still need to worry more about this matter."

Fan Chunren understood what he meant and said: "I will have someone give the list to Commander Wei in the afternoon and ask Commander Wei to see if there are any mistakes."

Wei Yuan smiled and said: "Master Fan, you are too polite."

While they were talking, all the generals had left their tents to do what they should do.

After everyone left, Wei Yuancai said to Fan Chunren in a serious voice:

"Concerning my commander's departure from Fuzhou, I still want to apologize to Mr. Fan."

The latter laughed and said: "Commander Wei, you are too polite. I am a civil servant. I shouldn't have too much negotiation with Wu Xun. Even if I offend them, it doesn't matter."

"It's just that if something like this happens again in the future, I'd better ask Commander Wei to inform him in advance so that I can be prepared."

Wei Yuan cupped his hands and said, "Definitely."

After saying that, he left the tent and walked to the general stand.

Before coming to Fuzhou, Wei Yuan had already asked Hu Yanzhong to take the lead and temporarily transfer the available naval forces to the city.

At this moment, Wei Yuan looked at the soldiers of the Fujian Road Coast Defense Battalion who had changed into new armor in front of him and said with a smile:

"Looking at you all wearing new armor and holding new weapons that haven't seen blood yet, you are all full of energy."

As soon as he finished speaking, the originally solemn-looking officers suddenly felt relaxed.

They had heard of Wei Yuan's name.

Being able to serve as a soldier under this Wei Wudi is also their dream.

There was a pause.

Wei Yuan suddenly said loudly:
"Do you know where you got the armor you are wearing?"

"It was made by the people of my great Zhou Dynasty, stitch by stitch. They used their hard-earned money to forge the new weapons you are holding now!"

"But at this very moment, the Japanese pirates are coming. They control our waters in the Great Zhou Dynasty, so that our people in Fujian Road cannot go to sea to fish, and our people in the Great Zhou Dynasty cannot go to sea to do business."

"As a great Zhou man, how can I let the hard work of my people go to waste? How can I take advantage of the Japanese pirates who are at large at sea?"

"I have only one request for you, go to sea and kill the Japanese! Let the new weapons in your hands see blood, and let those bastards who robbed my Dazhou wealth and bullied my Dazhou women pay their debts with blood!"

"There are not many things I can promise you, but I promise that from today on, anyone who bravely kills a Japanese will be rewarded with one tael of silver. If you kill a Japanese pirate, you will be rewarded with three taels of silver!"

Speaking of this, the navy officers and soldiers composed of the Fujian Road Coast Defense Battalion were not too surprised. After all, in previous years, rewards were given for killing Japanese pirates.

They thought that the famous Zhongyong Bo could say something different.

It turns out those cliches are still there.

As a result, the next moment, when they heard Wei Yuan's last words, everyone's blood surged and their energy surged.
"The top ten who killed Japanese pirates and died in heroic battles will be personally ordered by my commander to have their heroic feats of killing Japanese pirates recorded in the local county annals for future generations to admire."

"Open a separate page of the genealogy to record the incident of killing the Japanese, honoring the ancestors!"
