Xu Heizi's matter was finally resolved without any danger due to the strong mediation of Shang Laoliu.

Xu Heizi was fined 9,900 taels of silver and half a year's salary. In addition, in front of Shang Laoliu, he was caught by Li Yuanqing and beaten and kicked severely.

However, this matter will not be announced to the public. Only Li Yuanqing, Shang Laoliu, Niu Gensheng, and a few of the soldiers know about it.

The reason why Li Yuanqing was willing to forgive Xu Heizi was that, on the one hand, Xu Heizi was his brother. He was an old brother who followed him when he was in Zhenjiang.

Back then, when Li Yuanqing escaped from Zhenjiang City, which was besieged by Huang Taiji, Xu Heizi was undoubtedly the first to do so!

Over the years, Xu Heizi also made great contributions to Li Yuanqing, Changsheng Camp, and the entire southern Liaoning.

On the other hand, and most importantly, Xu Heizi confessed the matter at the first opportunity. Although it had an impact on the overall situation, it was not fatal.

Otherwise, even if Li Yuanqing would not execute Xu Heizi, at least he would not be able to gain freedom in his lifetime.

Although Xu Heizi was severely beaten by Li Yuanqing himself, his mood improved.

After following Li Yuanqing for such a long time, he also had a sense of Li Yuanqing's temperament. If Li Yuanqing ignored him, then~~ he would be completely sentenced to death.

Although being beaten up by Li Yuanqing was a bit ugly, after all, he did something wrong first, and Li Yuanqing did not magnify the matter, which saved his face and prevented him from being disgraced in the entire army.

The whole island is lost, sir.

This also made Xu Heizi full of gratitude to Li Yuanqing.

In the guest room, there are a few simple drinks and dishes.

Li Yuanqing sat at the top, Shang Laoliu sat at the left, and Xu Heizi knelt at the bottom.

Shang Laoliu smiled in front of the peacemaker: "Yuan Qing, Heizi is also ignorant. He has never encountered such a thing before. Let's talk about it. They are all brothers. There is nothing that can't be solved. Heizi

, what are you still doing in a daze? Hurry up!"

Shang Laoliu winked at Xu Heizi.

Xu Heizi also reacted, and regardless of the scars on his face, he hurriedly picked up the wine glass and respectfully said to Li Yuanqing: "General, I despise my position, I despise you and give you a drink."

Li Yuanqing picked up the wine glass and stared at Xu Heizi for a long time before drinking it all in one gulp.

Xu Heizi hurriedly drank the wine in one gulp and looked at Li Yuanqing stupidly.

Li Yuanqing slowly exhaled a breath of turbid air and said: "Heizi, this is a very bad start!"

How could Xu Heizi not understand Li Yuanqing's deep meaning at this time? He hurriedly kowtowed to Li Yuanqing several times: "General, I know I was wrong! I will never make the same mistake again in my life!"

Shang Laoliu said with a smile: "Heizi, this matter cannot be said to be wrong. We will inevitably encounter such things in our lives. The key depends on how you deal with it. The Zheng family wants to find something in Pan Pacific Trading Company

It is human nature to make money. It is not a big deal if they give you money. The key is that you must report this matter to the general as soon as possible so that the general knows what he is doing and will not be confused or mistaken.

It’s a big deal, it’s a big deal. Do you know?”

Xu Heizi nodded repeatedly, "Master Shang, I remember my humble position."

Shang Laoliu shook his head with a smile: "Heizi, you still don't understand. What I mean is that if you encounter such a thing next time, you can accept the other party's money on the basis of not harming the interests of our Changsheng Island.

But~, after you collect the money, you must report it to the general in time. The general will collect the money and distribute rewards to you according to how much merit you have made."

Shang Laoliu said, taking a sip of wine, "At this point, once these silvers are registered, they are no longer black silver, but become clean silver. Do you understand?"

Xu Heizi also understood what Shang Laoliu meant at this time and quickly looked at Li Yuanqing.

Li Yuanqing ignored him and drank alone.

Xu Heizi couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.

Shang Laoliu said with a smile: "Yuan Qing, the matter is over. Look, Heizi is like this, can you forgive him?"

Li Yuanqing looked into Xu Heizi's eyes and said directly: "Have you made up your mind about the Zheng family?"

Xu Heizi hurriedly said: "General, judging from my humble position, what is happening with the Zheng family can only be delayed, not forced. Their fleet is very large. Although I don't know the details, there are at least twenty to thirty thousand people.

If we directly turn against the Zheng family, even if the Zheng family does not dare to take any action openly, our merchant ships will always pass through the southeastern waters. If they do something small, even if it is not a serious problem, small problems will always be

There will be quite a few.”

Xu Heizi carefully observed Li Yuanqing's expression and said hurriedly: "General, although I didn't see Xu Xinsu this time, I left a goodwill towards Xu Xinsu. Presumably, it won't be long before news comes from Xu Xinsu's side.

.If we give some benefits to the Zheng family and Xu Xinsu appropriately, it will definitely intensify the conflict between them."

Shang Laoliu couldn't help but nodded. Although Xu Heizi did something wrong this time, he still had some ability.

"Yuanqing, Heizi is right. In the final analysis, the actual interests of the Pan-Pacific Trading Company are the commercial items north of the south of the Yangtze River, such as the treasures of our Ming Dynasty, silk, tea, and porcelain. The Zheng family has also been doing this.

, with our current strength, there will definitely be no obstacles, so it is better to follow the trend."

With that said, Shang Laoliu poured a glass of wine for Li Yuanqing and said: "Yuanqing, let the Zheng family and Xu Xinsu compete with each other, even if the interests of the entire southeast are ceded to them, so what? After all, we don't have control yet.

Li! It would be easier to hear if you tell me."

Li Yuanqing was not in a hurry to express his position. He took out his cigar box, threw one to Shang Laoliu, and put one to his mouth.

For a moment, he glanced at Xu Heizi and threw the box directly to Xu Heizi.

Xu Heizi couldn't help but be overjoyed. He hurried over, took out the fire stick, and carefully helped Li Yuanqing light it, then Shang Laoliu, and finally himself.

The three of them sighed, and Li Yuanqing said: "I have no objection to this general trend. However, I am worried that Xu Xinsu may not be able to hold on for too long and is no match for the Zheng family!"

Xu Heizi couldn't help but be stunned. The smoke suddenly choked his throat and he coughed repeatedly.

After a moment, he hurriedly wiped away his tears and said: "General, this is not serious, is it? During these days when I was in the southeast, I also got to know Xu Xinsu. Although this guy has a small official position, he is just a member of the navy, but

This guy has close contacts with the Dutch and has deep connections in the government and army. Although he doesn't have many ships, he has a lot of manpower. Especially his ships are all warships. Even if he can't compete with the Zheng family, considering his humble position,

If it lasts for five, six, seven or eight years, I'm afraid it won't be a serious problem."

Shang Laoliu also said: "Yuan Qing, Xu Xinsu has a very deep official background. He shouldn't be taken down by the Zheng family so easily, right?"

Li Yuanqing took a deep breath from the cigarette butt and exhaled a thick puff of smoke, "The Zheng family has Shibazhi and Li Dan's foundation. They have deep roots in Taiwan and Japan. Even though Xu Xinsu has official background support, she also has close ties with the Netherlands

People's eyebrows come and go, but there is no accurately controlled channel. I have an intuitive hunch that he will never be the opponent of the Zheng family, and maybe soon!"

"this……"

Shang Laoliu and Xu Heizi looked at each other, both at a loss.

Shang Laoliu hurriedly said: "Yuan Qing, can you speak more deeply?"

Li Yuanqing smiled and glanced at Shang Laoliu and Xu Heizi, "It's very simple! Our appearance made Zheng Yiguan feel oppressive! He couldn't wait to join the army and put on the official robe of the Ming Dynasty! But~,

He and Xu Xinsu are sworn enemies! If Xu Xinsu is here, how can Zheng Yiguan sleep peacefully?"

Shang Laoliu couldn't help but gasped, and Xu Heizi was also a little stunned.

They only thought about the local situation at that time, but did not take their own side into account, especially their own future. This...

Shang Laoliu said hurriedly: "Yuan Qing, then, what should we do?"

Li Yuanqing played with the cigarette butt in his hand and looked out the window at the deep night. After a moment, he said: "Brother Shang, Heizi, judging from the current situation, a chaotic southeast is more in line with our interests! It is even more in line with the Ming Dynasty.

The interests of the Chinese nation are in line with the interests of the Chinese nation! Even if this will cause harm, it will make the Zheng family, Xu Xinsu, and all of us feel a sense of crisis!"

After a pause, Li Yuanqing breathed a long sigh of relief and said: "Our Ming Dynasty has been weak on the sea for too long! Although Qi Shaobao is unparalleled in bravery, it is a pity that he only focused on land warfare, but did not see this! And Qi Shaobao

After that, there was almost no one in our Ming Dynasty! If there is no suitable war, how can we hone the combat power of warships and sailors?"

Shang Laoliu and Xu Heizi had already understood Li Yuanqing's deep meaning at this time. They never expected that Li Yuanqing would think so far ahead.

Xu Heizi said: "General, if this is the case, we, we must help Xu Xinsu? Otherwise, according to this momentum, he may not be the opponent of the Zheng family!"

Shang Laoliu said: "Heizi, how can it be so easy to help Xu Xinsu? This person is arrogant and arrogant. I'm afraid it will be difficult to buy us off! Otherwise, you can see the Zheng family during this trip, but you can't see them at all.

he?"

"this……"

Xu Heizi also reacted at this time and couldn't help but spat fiercely: "Fuck! This is my family! Could it be that it's so hard to persuade a damn ghost with such good words?"

Li Yuanqing said: "Xu Xinsu's biggest reliance may be on his Dutch godfather, but~, his Dutch godfather may not buy his account! According to the strength of the Zheng family at this time, if they are caught

When the opportunity comes, I'm afraid I will never give Xu Xinsu a chance to breathe!"

"General, then, what should we do?"

Xu Heizi's energy was completely lifted and he looked at Li Yuanqing nervously.

Li Yuanqing smiled: "What should I do? Cold salad! Heizi, don't the Zheng family like to give you money? This time, I will give you a chance to collect money!"
