Chapter 55: Zi Wei Dou Shu and Destiny

All the dignitaries?

interest?

Are maritime merchants colluding with Ming Dynasty officials?

natural!

High-ranking officials of the Ming Dynasty cooperated with maritime merchant families through the "middleman" model to transform tribute trade into a private profit channel, forming a smuggling network that integrated officials and merchants, and a dual interest structure of "court officials and maritime tycoons."

Liu Daxia is one of the beneficiaries.

This is also the reason why he heard that in the future, when Emperor Xianzong Zhu Jianshen wanted to sail to the West again, he would hide all the navigation maps of Zheng He's treasure ship.

Tianding means the person who stands up and protests.

This man's name was Dong Ning, with the courtesy name Tianding. He had a pair of sword-like eyebrows, with the ends of his eyebrows sharp and obviously raised, which matched his inherently irritable personality.

"good!
Originally, the Jinyiwei did not have a good reputation among the people.

And those literati and officials control the channels for reading.

When they control the literate, they control public opinion.

Once they take action, it will only take ten days or half a month for Jinyiwei Commander Su Qing to be smeared with countless dirty water.

Even if he had the merit of suppressing the Japanese pirates, he would still be hated by everyone."

The civil officials of the Ming Dynasty controlled the imperial examinations through the system and constructed a closed public opinion field through the right to interpret books.

Ordinary people, if they want to know what happened, need explanations from scholars.

Ordinary people are very easy to manipulate.

If the Ming Dynasty had followed normal historical development, it would not have been long before Wang Zhi would have been forced to leave the capital because of the public opinion of the literati.

In the future, Zhu Wan, who will destroy the Zhoushan Islands, will have to commit suicide because he has offended maritime merchants and stakeholders.

"In order to ensure that the court officials can find a perfect reason to deal with Su Qing, we can actually do something else.

For example, secretly slaughtering some fishing villages near the sea.

People in the fishing village also often go out to sea, and their expressions are very similar to those of the Japanese pirates who are rampant in the South China Sea.

We massacred some fishing villages and took away their heads to create an illusion.

Then, we can ask the officials in Fujian to impeach Jinyiwei Su Qing for killing innocent people and taking credit for it.

He clearly killed real Japanese on Zhoushan Island, but I want to turn his real Japanese into fake Japanese. I want to turn all his great achievements into countless crimes!"

The four major maritime merchant families in Fujian are the Wang family, the Dong family, the Li family, and the Zheng family.

The one who spoke at this time was Li Laoliu from the Li family.

A mouth with a temperature of 36.5 degrees Celsius could actually speak words that were more than 200 degrees below zero, which can be said to be a vivid display of viciousness and cruelty.

Upon hearing this, Dong Tianding clapped his hands in admiration.

Wang Sihai smiled but said nothing.

Zheng Qian showed approval.

Su Qing was applauding.

Not bad!

It’s Su Qing!

he came.

Su Qing never thought that maritime ban was a good thing.

The reason why he took control of all overseas supply points and prevented merchants from going out to sea was for only one purpose: to establish a new order and control everything in the hands of the court.

There are two directions that the court needs to control.

One is that trade can be carried out with the countries in Southeast Asia, and the traded items need to be controlled.

The trade of saltpeter, muskets, sulfur, etc. is absolutely prohibited.

Today, Japan is in the Warring States Period, and the sixty-six vassal states are in urgent need of firearms to strengthen their military strength.

However, there is a shortage of saltpeter locally and it is impossible to produce natural saltpeter independently.

The Wang family, a wealthy merchant family, transported Southeast Asian saltpeter (such as Thai saltpeter) to Japan through smuggling channels to fill the gap in its strategic materials.

Even muskets were exported to them to promote the innovation of firearms in Japan.

The second control is that the Ming Dynasty court can indeed allow large-scale planting of mulberry trees and yellow leaves in the inland areas.

However, every time they traded silk, yellow leaves, tea, etc., they had to purchase enough food from the Southeast Asian countries when they returned.

Of course, commercial taxes are inevitable.

In this case, maritime merchants cannot be condemned in one fell swoop.

Su Qing learned that there were four major maritime merchants in Fujian: the Wang family, the Dong family, the Li family, and the Zheng family. His first thought was to pull some of them in and beat some of them.

As a result, after a brief investigation, he found that the capital accumulation of the four major merchant families was filled with extraordinary blood.

Their crimes are so numerous that it is difficult to list them in words.

The four major sea merchants must not cooperate at all, and they even need to dye Fujian with blood, plow the fields and dig out the holes, to completely wipe out these cancers.

Now, when he came to Wang's house and happened to hear what these people said, Su Qing realized that what he learned from books is always shallow, and he must practice it himself to truly understand the truth.

The survey results on paper alone are not as shocking as hearing them with your own eyes.

The sudden sound of applause startled Wang Sihai.

But the shock was only for a moment. When he looked towards the place where the voice came from, his face was extremely ugly. He gritted his teeth and said, "Yan Qi, Chen Yu, how dare you bring strangers into my Wang family? Who gave you the courage?"

Wang Sihai heard the sudden sound of slapping and found that many strangers had come to his house.

The only ones he was familiar with were Yan Qi and Chen Yu.

Yan Qi and Chen Yu are also from maritime merchant families.

However, there is still a big gap between the two and the Wang, Dong, Li and Zheng families.

If we look at the Fujian merchants' maritime trade in terms of percentage, the four major families account for at least 80%, while the Yan family and the Li family are estimated to have only about 3% each.

To be honest, Yan Qi and Chen Yu were a little scared at this time.

Indeed, the two companies also control some maritime trade shares.

However, they also knew that their share was actually the leftovers from the four major families.

Wang Sihai was furious, as if the sky was collapsing. The two of them instinctively looked at Su Qing.

Speaking of which, since the four major merchant families need to be conquered, they need to win over new targets. Yan Qi and Chen Yu are the merchant targets to be won over.

Also in order to teach them a lesson, Su Qing brought them here.

He hoped that the killing of the four major families would serve as a warning to Yan Qi and Chen Yu, and make them behave themselves in Fujian.

Forehead!
Even though Wang Sihai was a little angry because someone broke into the banquet, he was not someone who couldn't read people's expressions.

This small action of Yan Qi and Chen Yu was enough to show that the leader of the group of people who broke in was this young man in his twenties.

"Who is he?"

Wang Sihai was confused.

He is very smart.

If it were just Yan Qi and Chen Yu, he could easily defeat them.

Although the two men looked at him with some fear in their eyes, they still followed the young man.

This young man had the confidence to let the two of them face him directly.

In a flash, sparks of thought collided violently, but Wang Sihai did not continue to scold.

Although Dong Tianding saw that Yan Qi and Chen Yu followed Su Qing's lead and knew that he definitely had a background, he still didn't care at all: "I don't know what your background is.

But you have to remember, this is Fujian, where even a dragon has to coil up and a tiger has to lie down.

More than one or two imperial envoys who came to Fujian were killed.

No matter how high your status is, it is not as high as mine!"

It is obvious that Dong Tianding was used to being arrogant in Fujian, and he even dared to say something like the imperial envoy was killed.

"Kill the imperial envoy?"

At first, Su Qing was also a little surprised.

However, on second thought, it seemed quite normal.

“These sea merchants are very cruel.

In order to frame me, they even slaughtered the fishermen along the coast, so that my captured heads would become the product of killing innocent people and taking credit for it.

Killing the imperial envoy is not impossible."

Su Qing's silent thinking obviously caused Dong Tianding to misunderstand.

"You don't believe it? I'll tell you the truth.

Censor Zhao Xinwu was ordered to inspect private salt production in Fujian, but he actually interfered with the private salt fields of our four major families. His body was tied to stones and sunk into the sea.

Do you think I'm stupid after listening to me confess my crimes directly?
Ha ha!

It is obvious that I committed these crimes.

But outside the Wang family.

Believe it or not, within two days, the person who killed the imperial envoy Zhao Xinwu and drowned him in the sea will be you?
These are the four great families in Fujian."

Cover the sky with one hand?
Confusing right and wrong?
Refers to a deer as a horse?

Shouldn't this be what the Jinyiwei are best at?

The corners of Su Qing's mouth curled up slightly, and he smiled: "Really? I don't believe it!"

“I don’t believe it!
You don't believe it!"

Dong Tianding laughed loudly, like a madman.

When his voice suddenly stopped, people who knew him knew that he was going to kill someone.

The reason they were able to become the four major sea merchants that dominated Fujian during Gaowu Daming was that they relied on their financial resources and the ability to protect their financial resources.

"Sir, be careful, Dong Ning has a group of swordsmen.

Most of them come from Guanzhong and Taihang Mountains, and they are very fierce.

Especially the swordsman leader, he has always been guarding Dong Tianding, his sword..."

Yan Qi knew that ever since he and Su Qing entered the Wang family, they had become grasshoppers in the same boat.

He saw that Dong Tianding had murderous intentions, so he immediately reminded him.

But his words had not yet fallen.

Suddenly, a shadow rose into the air from the darkness, and suddenly crossed a distance of seven or eight feet, appearing in everyone's sight.

Swish!
A high-pitched voice suddenly rang out, like a long sword being unsheathed, or like a sharp blade piercing the air.
Light!
The blade flashed as bright as day and as fast as lightning. It turned into a streak of silk and wrapped around Su Qin's neck.

Su Qing stood there quietly, like a scholar out for an outing, calm and gentle.

Now, just one step forward and everything has changed.

He is like an eagle soaring in the sky and a tiger roaring in the mountains.

He raised his hand and punched without even looking at his target.

boom!
His punch was like a meteorite falling from the sky, like a sacred mountain collapsing.

The terrifying force that shocked the world instantly turned the sky into a surging tide, and the rolling air waves were squeezed down from bottom to top.

Previously, Li Laoliu and Zheng Qian, who had been observing with amusement, and Wang Sihai, who had been observing carefully, suddenly had their pupils shrink.

I felt that the young man in front of me had turned into a ferocious beast and a demon in human skin.

The swordsman leader's face turned pale.

Without actually facing this punch, you will never know how powerful it is.

"Fortunately, my sword is a well-forged martial arts weapon. It can even cut through fine steel. It should..."

When his knife collided with Su Qing's fist, he knew that all the "shoulds" were just his wishful thinking.

The sword, which had been tempered thousands of times, immediately suffered a force that it should not have endured for its grade, and cracked into countless pieces.

The swordsman didn't even have time to scream before his body was cut into pieces by the long sword fragments carried by Su Qing's fist wind.

Flesh and blood mixed with splattered and poured onto Dong Tianding's body.

Although he had experienced a lot of bloodshed in the business world, he had never experienced such a bloody experience. Dong Tianding seemed to be stupid, his body trembling instinctively, and he stood there in a daze.

Su Qing regained her warm smile and said, "Don't you like to laugh? Why don't you laugh anymore?"

Although there was nothing cold and harsh in the voice, it made people feel a distinct chill from deep within their hearts.

"Your Majesty!"

A loud shout suddenly rang out.

Dong Tianding, who was dazed and stunned, was startled by the sudden thunder-like sound in his ears.

Coupled with the death of the swordsman, he was greatly shocked by the large amount of blood spraying directly on his head.

The two responded to each other, his body trembled violently, his legs went weak, and he actually knelt on the ground.

Soon, he woke up from that trance.

When he realized what he had just done, Dong Tianding felt aggrieved and humiliated.

He was actually scared just now and actually knelt down.

What was even more desperate was that he found his crotch was a little wet.

Obviously, when Dong Ning was extremely frightened, his skeletal muscles and visceral smooth muscles relaxed synchronously, causing incontinence of the excretory system.

In a word, I was scared to death.

This is a shame that he cannot wash away.

Su Qing's strength had reached such a level that he could naturally sense the malice in Dong Ning's heart and was furious.

Such a person is naturally not allowed to live.

A hint of murderous intent flashed across his eyes.

Dong Tianding also happened to see Su Qing's eyes.

He was very familiar with this look.

At the beginning, he placed some refugees in the mountains and forests of Fujian.

Then, the younger generations of the four major families hunted the refugees one by one with bows and arrows.

The four families' shares of tea, porcelain and yellow leaves for the new year are divided according to the amount of hunting they do.

"That indifferent look towards life shows that he really wants to kill me..."

Perhaps it was the aftereffects of the bloody battle that had taken place. In a trance, Dong Ning seemed to see Su Qing rushing towards him. Suddenly, he screamed, "No, I don't want to die..."

Dong Ning started shouting and dancing like a madman.

"Tuk!"

Just then, a knocking sound was heard.

A golden Buddha light rises, illuminating the somewhat dark night.

There seemed to be a mysterious meaning in the knocking sound, making people feel as if a bright light was shining in their minds.

Those who are fierce and brave have gained enlightenment, and they feel as if they have been enlightened. They suddenly have a feeling of great awakening and feel that everything in the world is meaningless. It is better to let go of everything and become a monk.

Looking in the direction of the voice, I saw a figure walking towards me slowly.

This was a sturdy old monk with a big frame, big eyes, and long white eyebrows. He clasped his hands together and seemed to be reciting ancient scriptures.

He was beating a wooden fish in his hands.

The sound of "tuk-tuk-tuk" came from his wooden fish.

It seemed that he had just taken two casual steps, but he had already crossed the void and appeared in front of everyone.

The experienced martial arts master's pupils shrank and blurted out three words: "Shenzutong"!
There are six great supernatural powers in Buddhism, namely, the divine eye, the divine ear, the divine mind, the divine knowledge of past lives, the divine power of movement, and the divine freedom of movement.

Shaolin Temple is famous for its telepathy.

Back then, the three Shaolin elders who had cultivated his telepathy used the Vajra Demon Subduing Circle to fight against Zhang Wuji.

It is obvious that Zhang Wuji is stronger than the three Shaolin elders, but thanks to his telepathy and unparalleled thoughts, the three Shaolin elders managed to suppress him.

He even beat his grandfather to death.

The master of the Jingnian Zen sect is proficient in the ability to see past lives.

The ability to know destiny is similar to Zi Wei Dou Shu, and is a magical power to predict the future.

During the Sui and Tang Dynasties, the Zen master of the Jingnian Zen sect used the Heshi Bi and the fate-telling technique to predict the future, which led to his master Feixuan helping Li Shimin.

The ability to travel through the air with divine feet originates from the Shenzu Sutra.

Successful practice of the Shenzu Sutra will allow you to comprehend the Shenzu power.

At the same time, it is also the fastest-transforming martial art in Buddhism.

During the early Song Dynasty, there was a man named You Tanzhi.

He is just an insignificant figure in the underworld.

It was because I accidentally picked up the Shenzu Sutra.

In a very short period of time, he grew into a person comparable to Qiao Feng's level.

From this we can see the extraordinary nature of the Shenzu Sutra.
