The Name of the King of Han Is So Terrifying?
Seeing that Zhu Li was interested in Fang Quan, Qin Wu secretly thought that this guy was really lucky!
One had to know that the temperament of the Han King, Zhu Li, was mostly inherited from Zhu Yuanzhang.
Zhu Li was even worse than Zhu Yuanzhang when it came to looking down on merchants!
At most, Zhu Yuanzhang divided the classes, placing the merchants at the bottom.
But were merchants really at the bottom?
Even if he was dissatisfied with the merchants, Zhu Yuanzhang would not say anything unpleasant or sarcastic on the surface.
After all, he was the emperor. His words and actions could cause a huge uproar.
But the King of Han was different!
This guy really dared to go against the merchants.
When he was in his fief, Zhu Li had bullied many merchants, and those corrupt officials exploited merchants the most!
How much money could they get by bullying ordinary farmers?
Most of the money was squeezed out of these businessmen.
Moreover, the Han King was either beating or scolding the merchants. Even the merchants who were nominally in the Han King's residence were the same. As a result, all the merchants in the entire Hanzhong Prefecture wanted to take a detour when they saw him!
Zhu Li took the initiative to praise a businessman, and he even valued him so much. This was the first time in the world!
As long as Fang Quan didn't seek death, Zhu Li would definitely be able to soar to the top with his protective personality and his high regard for his own people!
"In addition, we also found five suspicious people on the merchant ship of the rich merchant Jia Renyi!”
At this moment, Qin Wu suddenly changed the topic.
"Are you the Jinyiwei?"
Zhu Li raised his eyebrows and asked.
"Most likely!"
"This Jia Renyi's merchant ship came from the Ying Tian Prefecture, and it's also the merchant ship most likely to be hiding the Embroidered Uniform Guards.”
Qin Wu nodded and explained.
Ordinary merchants would not spend money to build ships themselves. Even if you had money, you had to be able to build them.
They usually rented ships from the Water Transport Yamen.
On these merchant ships, the origins of the ships were marked.
"Don't worry about them on the river. After the bandits are exterminated, send one of them back to Hanzhong to be deployed. I want these Jinyiwei to be under my control the moment they disembark!”
"Remember to let our prefecture soldiers handle this matter personally!”
Zhu Li waved his hand and warned with a serious expression.
Qin Wu's heart trembled when he heard that.
The Jinyiwei was originally sent by Zhu Yuanzhang to monitor Zhu Li. Now, Zhu Li even sent people to monitor the Jinyiwei!
The soldiers of the Han Imperial Residence were not something ordinary personal guards could compare to.
Although they were also personal guards, they were the true elites among the personal guards!
To put it another way, the Han King would directly recruit the outstanding members of the personal guards who had passed the examinations and competitions into the prefecture soldiers.
The Han King did not leave many personal guards in the residence, only about 180 people.
In the words of the King of Han, it was better to have no than to have no.
The Imperial Residence only needed the most elite soldiers.
Each of these prefecture soldiers could fight ten of them at once!
More importantly, the King of Han would also train them in a targeted manner. The training method could even be described as cruel.
Of course, if anyone could not hold on any longer, they could also choose to return to the army, but they would never be able to enter the Imperial Residence again.
Moreover, Qin Wu and the others felt that the Han King wanted to turn these prefectural soldiers into another Embroidered Uniform Guards.
Therefore, any personal guard in the Imperial Residence was also an extremely special existence.
In the words of the future, they were the special forces of the special forces!
It was obvious that the Embroidered Uniform Guards would notice if a normal guard was stalking the Embroidered Uniform Guards.
Zhu Li was preparing to train the soldiers he had painstakingly trained!
"Wangye, now that we've received the money, since we're going to exterminate the bandits, shouldn't we make a plan?”
Qin Wu asked again.
"If you want to borrow the Jingu Staff from the Dragon King of the East Sea, you have to ask a few shrimp soldiers and crab generals.”
"Who do you think has the closest relationship with these pirates?”
Zhu Li asked with a smile.
"This…"
Qin Wu hesitated for a moment before shaking his head.
They usually targeted the northern Tartars, the remnants of Northern Yuan. When had they ever worried about the problem of bandits?
To them, it was like using a sledgehammer to kill a chicken, and they felt a little helpless.
"The pirates are wreaking havoc, but the local officials of the imperial court are doing nothing. The yamen can deal with ordinary thieves, but when faced with a large group of pirates, they are powerless.”
"But you said that the Imperial Court would send out troops to deal with these pirates, which seems to be a bit of a hassle. Moreover, ordinary troops are too lazy to care about such matters and are indifferent to them.”
"After all, exterminating the pirates should be the responsibility of the local officials.”
"Under such circumstances, the pirates began to wreak havoc, to the point that even the local government was helpless!”
Zhu Li thought for a moment and roughly analyzed the reason why the pirates were running amok.
"Your Highness, are you saying that the local officials are likely to be in contact with the pirates?”
Qin Wu's heart skipped a beat.
"Why don't you say that the local officials are the leaders of the pirates?”
Zhu Li glanced at Qin Wu.
"What I mean is that after the pirates form a certain scale, they will definitely have a connection with the local area. Do you really think that their food and clothing are all directly robbed?”
"And where did these pirate ships come from?”
Zhu Li's subsequent inquiry immediately allowed Qin Wu to find the main point.
"I understand. His Highness wants us to start from the Jiangxia Water Transport Port and figure out the situation of these pirates!”
Qin Wu nodded in realization.
The yamen that dealt with the pirates the most was definitely the local water transport.
If the Water Transport Office wanted to be safe, they would turn a blind eye to the pirates.
After all, a fellow Daoist would die, but a poor Daoist would not.
It's only right for commoners or merchants to be robbed. Anyway, it's fine as long as it doesn't affect my water transport.
This was also the reason why the imperial court could tolerate the pirates 'development to this scale. It was because the pirates had not yet touched the fundamental interests of the imperial court.
Seven days later, the Han King's fleet arrived at the waters near Jiangxia.
In comparison, there were far fewer ships on the river at this time. Other than the fleet of the Han King and some merchant ships, there were almost no other ships.
Did they really think that those pirates had changed?
They had received the news that the fleet of Han King Zhu Li had arrived, so they had all retreated back to the water stronghold!
This group of pirates was smarter than anyone else. As long as it involved the imperial court, they would not take the initiative to provoke them.
Their targets were only civilians and merchant ships.
Not to mention taking the initiative to provoke the Han King Zhu Li.
Therefore, when the Han King's fleet entered Jiangxia's territory, the pirates all disappeared collectively!
Only then did the wealthy merchants witness the true horror of the name of the Han King, Zhu Li!
