On the Grand Canal, a two-story luxury pleasure boat heads north along the canal.

At this time, in the boat building, Huang Shu, the Yangzhou Tongzhi, was drinking with Zhu Guobi, the Marquis of Funing.

"Gao Huan is bold and dares to snatch the canal ships and salt boats, and drive out the officials and managers of the salt farm. He may not know who he has offended!" Huang Shu had a gloomy face and drank a glass of wine.

When Gao Huan occupied Fengyang and refused to leave, Huang Shu suggested not to pay attention to Gao Huan. Now Gao Huan has taken the ships of the salt merchants and controlled the salt field, which is equivalent to slapping Huang Shu in the face.

This made Huang Shu lose face and made the salt merchants dissatisfied with him.

After all, the salt industry makes money every day, and Gao Huan does this, there is no way to do business.

This will cause heavy losses to the salt merchants, and they all complain about Huang Shu's misjudgment.

Therefore, when the Yangzhou Salt Industry Guild wanted to send someone to negotiate with Gao Huan, Huang Shu volunteered to go to Huai'an to negotiate with Gao Huan, hoping that Gao Huan knew that he was wrong.

Zhu Guobi, the Funing Hou, watched the opera troupe sing music on the boat and echoed casually, "This Gao Huan actually dared to ride on our heads to shit, it's simply ignorant of life and death!"

Zhu Guobi was also a person who left his name in history, but he was indeed a foolish and incompetent person. When Duoduo went south, he and Zhao Zhilong and others, with more than 200,000 Beijing camps, directly surrendered to the Qing Dynasty.

Zhu Guobi was a nobleman of the Ming Dynasty, and his ancestor Zhu Yong was an important general during the Jingtai period. After the Demolition, he was promoted from Funing Bo to Funing Marquis.

Zhu Guobi was appointed as the Marquis of Funing during the Wanli period. In the early years of Chongzhen, he was transferred to Nanjing. Later, he and Zhao Zhilong and other ministers were guarding Nanjing and supervising the military affairs of the Beijing camp.

Yangzhou salt merchants have to pay dividends and gifts to Nanjing’s honorary ministers every year? Now something happened to the salt merchants? When they encounter trouble, the honorary ministers naturally have to settle the salt merchants.

Who doesn’t know the whole world? Yangzhou salt merchants and Lianghuai canal transportation? They were the ones who were guarding it, but they didn’t expect that a young man would come out to be able to touch their interests.

This is the first time that the old Duke of Wei, Zhao Zhilong, the hero of the Nanjing guarding Nanjing, and others have encountered such a thing.

Gao Huan was named Jianwu Bo by the court? He was also a nobleman, but he was not accepted by the nobleman group of the Ming Dynasty and was a marginal figure.

All the nobles in Nanjing come from famous families and have been prominent for generations? Most of them look down on grassroots like Gao Huan.

Is Xu Hongji the Duke of the Kingdom? Zhao Zhilong is a garrison guarding Nanjing. He has a noble status and naturally will not take the initiative to meet Gao Huan, the little uncle.

After a lot of honors and nobles, they decided to send Funing Marquis Zhu Guobi to Huai'an to teach Gao Huan to be a human being? Let Gao Huan know their attitude.

The Zhu Guobi family has been a veteran nobleman for generations. He is also a marquis, who is just right to defeat Gao Huan.

The nobles of Nanjing? After staying in the gentle town of Jinling City for a long time, they just listen to operas and drink all day long? Are they visiting prostitutes on the Qinhuai River? They have long lost the courage of their ancestors? They even care about state affairs.

Zhu Guobi was originally indulging in his vocal music in his mansion, but suddenly he received such an errand and was very resistant. However, he received a lot of filial piety every year when he took money and eliminated disasters. Now that the salt merchant has something to do, as the salt merchant’s protective umbrella, he naturally needs to help and settle the matter.

Therefore, although he was reluctant, Zhu Guobi set out in a hurry under the urging of Duke of Wei.

There are hundreds of miles from Nanjing to Huai'an. Zhu Guobi was afraid of being bored on the road, so he took the painting workshop at home and brought his newly-acquisitioned concubine Kou Baimen to accompany him.

Huang Shu said in a deep voice: "I have already sent a letter to Muzhai Gong! He has agreed to contact us, mobilize officials from Jiangnan and Jiangbei to write a letter to impeach Gao Huan!"

Zhu Guobi said: "The Duke of Wei will also bring the Nanjing ministers to write letters. The entire Jiangnan and Jiangbei civil and military officials rose up to attack them, and even the emperor would not dare to protect Gao Huan. I see how he explained it to us."

Gao Huan destroyed Hou Xun and Wang Qiaonian, disrupted Donglin's plan, and had long offended Donglin.

Now I have moved the cake of the Nanjing nobles again, and offended the Ming Dynasty nobles.

Donglin represents the civil servant power of the Ming Dynasty, and the Ming Dynasty's noble group, after more than 200 years of development, has also become a powerful group with huge influences spread throughout the Ming army.

For a moment, two major groups appeared in the south, and at the same time wrote a letter to attack Gao Huan, as if Gao Huan had unforgivable and offended the people of the world.

While the civil and military officials in the south gathered to write letters to condemn Gao Huan, the mouthpieces of the Donglin Party in the opposition also began to create public opinion to make Gao Huan by writing posts and fabricating rumors and booklets.

Yangzhou salt merchants are even more powerful. Gao Huan controls ships and salt fields so that they cannot get new salt. They directly reduce inventory supply, increase the salt price in the store, and overturn the price. Then they inform the people that it is Gao Huan who robs the salt ships, which will cause the salt price to rise.

Salt is a must-have for people's lives. As soon as the price of salt rises, people immediately became resentful, which made the people in Jiangnan hate Gao Huan.

Huang Shu sneered: "This time when you arrive in Huai'an, if Gao Huan refuses to admit his mistake, then we will delay the time and deal with him. After he is reported to the capital, wait for the army capturing the king to return south and see how he ends up!"

The salt merchants have been in operation for many years. In a very short time, they formed official channels to apply pressure, creating public grievances and public opinion among the people, and then the army returned to help, and so on, and took action against Gao Huan at the same time.

Zhu Guobi nodded when he heard the words, agreed with him, picked up the wine glass, and smiled and said, "Come on, let's drink, eat, and listen to music."

The two of them clinked a cup, Huang Shu took a sip, and looked at the stage. Kou Baimen was singing Kunqu opera. His figure and posture made Huang Shu's eyes confused and he exclaimed in his heart, "I am worthy of being one of the eight beauties of Qinhuai. If I can make me..."

Zhu Guobi didn't notice that the old sex embryo was trying to beat his concubine, and kept persuading Huang Shu to drink and ask Kou Baimen how he sang.

...

Huai'an.

While Huang Shu and Zhu Guobi were walking on the canal, Gao Huan was at the Hongze Lake Water Army Camp, watching the soldiers in the water camp practice.

Gao Huan had such a strong interest in the navy.

Because this not only concerns whether he can control the Huai River and the Yangtze River and conquer the power into the south of the Yangtze River, but also whether he can cross the sea and compete with England, the Netherlands and Spain for the ocean in the future.

But ideals are full, reality is skinny.

The country's strength in the Ming Dynasty was weak and it was unable to dredge the canals. Hundreds of years passed, and the canals were mostly silted and could not travel large ships.

Therefore, most of the ships captured by Gao Huan were small boats with flat bottoms, which were a distance of 108,000 miles from the warships across the ocean.

At this time, the water camp on the lake is divided into two camps, and they have to fight on the lake, and soldiers fall into the water from time to time.

Gao Huan saw one of the small boats, defeating several small boats in succession, and fighting in a very organized manner, without fighting like other ships. He couldn't help but point to the small school on the boat and asked, "Who is that person?"

Liu Hui glanced at him and said, "Report to the Governor, the man is called Gu San, nicknamed San Mazi."

"Gu Sanmazi?" Gao Huan raised his eyebrows. He remembered that there was a pirate in the East China Sea named Gu Sanmazi.

When the Qing army marched south, they besieged Jiangyin. Gu Sanmazi also brought his team to rescue Jiangyin, but unfortunately they were repelled by the Qing army.

"Maybe the person in front of you is Gu Sanmazi? He really found the treasure!" Gao Huan couldn't help but feel happy.
