    ?

    Under the majestic Shenlou boat, there are all kinds of sailboats.  The sailors moved food, emergency medicine and other dry supplies into the cabin. Old women, women, and children with gray hair and wrapped luggage across their backs came onto the deck one after another, with low-pitched cries and comfort intertwined.

    In front of the team was an old man with a red scarf and a cane.

    "Uncle Ba, be careful on the road."

    Li Yan took out two pure silver ingots and a large bunch of copper coins from the box at hand, and handed them to the old man.

    The old man had tears in his eyes: "Leader, take care."

    "I know."

    Li Yan patted Uncle Ba's shoulder, and the other party felt a warm current flow from his abdomen to his limbs, and his hunched spine straightened a little, as if he had aged several years.

    Ning Lao held the brush and brushed a little bit on the notebook.  Then he shouted loudly: "Next."

    Li Yan looked back.  There is still half of the team, this is the last group of people, and they will be able to board the ship tomorrow morning at the latest.

    During these three days, almost every pirate who was dismissed, Li Yan would personally give them a sum of money.  Say a few words and send them aboard.  These people are not just the old and the weak, women and children, there are nearly ten thousand people who are young and strong, just because they have parents and family members, Li Yan ordered them to be sent back to their hometowns.  In three days, the Hongqi Gang "slimmed down" less than half of their weight, and more than ten thousand young men were dismissed by Li Yan.

    For a long time to come, the Red Flag Gang will disappear from the government's jurisdiction.  Li Yan doesn't think that these young and strong pirates who have been dismissed have lost contact with the Red Flag Gang since then. To put it bluntly, if the government can really make sure that the tillers have their fields and the people live and work in peace and contentment, hundreds of thousands of pirates will not gather and fight  The bloody South Seas plundered

    Until the busy morning, the last fleet, a treasure ship of the Lin family, led fifty large sailing ships and finally set off together, escorted by Qian Tuo, the leader of the red flag, and the destination was Macau.

    In addition to 5,000 pirates, there were more than 3,000 old and weak women and children on board.  Most of them have not returned to land for two generations, and have lived on Lantau Island for most of their lives.  They are extremely loyal to Hongqi and to the Zheng family of Baodao. It is unrealistic to ask these people to join relatives and friends and disperse into villages and counties along the coast.

    So Li Yan specially arranged for Qian Tuo to send these people to Macau.

    Today's Macau is considered to be under the joint control of the Hongqi Gang and Cai Qian, and it belongs to the government in name, but there is not even a county magistrate.  Both the government and the East India Company ignored its existence for various complicated reasons.

    It turned out that not long after Hongcai captured Macau, the French emperor of Europa launched a thunderous offensive and broke through the Portuguese capital in one fell swoop. The once prosperous Portuguese Empire declined.  The lease contract between the government and Portugal exists in name only.

    However, the directors of the East India Company have an ambiguous attitude towards the real ownership of Macau.  Although the foreigners agreed to form a joint fleet with the government to destroy the Five Flags Alliance together.  However, he is extremely resistant to government intervention in Macau affairs and is willing to maintain the status quo.

    ?As the last sailboat left the sea level, Li Yan wiped his face with a wet towel, somewhat depressed.

    Qiuri Jacques can cure a lot of chronic diseases caused by aging, and even rejuvenate people, but one or two are fine. Facing the Hongqi Gang's thousands of old and weak, Li Yan can only do his best to restore some activity to their muscles and bones.  It's not that I can't stand the fatigue of boats and cars.

    Today, there are only less than 20,000 sailors left on the main island of Lantau Island. They all sharpen their knives and guns and carry artillery. The atmosphere is very solemn.

    "Tianbao leader, Boss Cai wrote back, and he agreed straight away. He will take good care of these old women and children in the Hongqi residence."

    On the index finger of Nephew, who wears a ruby ??ring, stands a black seagull, with a post box tied to its paw.

    "I'm just being polite with him, and I don't need to take care of him. As long as he doesn't trip me up behind my back, it's fine to inform that Governor Yang."

    Li Yan looked at the sea.

    Nephew laughed coquettishly when he heard this: "Cai Qian will not be a villain in vain. He went to inform Hong Qi that he had turned against Hong Qi for no reason, and Yang Sheng would not think of him. I heard that the Governor-General is determined to  Changed the business of the Thirteen Banks to be run by the government, urged several times, and told Tianbo to close down."

    "You pay close attention."

    Nephew's smile faltered when he heard that, and just about to explain something, Li Yan threw the towel into the washbasin: "If Cai sent you anything, you just keep it, and you don't need to tell me. By the way, did anyone catch it?"

    Li Yan frowned unconsciously as he spoke.

    Nephew secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and said softly: "Of course I won't disappoint the leader."

    Qiu Ru's eyes are sometimes bright and sometimes dark, and her head is even more dizzy.How long did it take before she woke up slowly.

    On top of his head is the bedstead of patterned bamboo and chrysanthemum, and he is covered with a money mattress.  She reached out and touched her head. The wound on her forehead had been bandaged, but there was still sticky blood on the bandage.

    She was about to get up, only to find that Zheng Xiu was sleeping by the quilt like a cat, and her movements naturally stopped.

    But Zheng Xiu still heard the movement, she opened her eyes suddenly, and when she saw Qiuru wake up, she immediately beamed with joy: "Mother."

    She quickly walked to the table to make a bowl of warm water, and offered it to Qiuru, her eyes were reddened, she said, "I've wronged my godmother."

    Qiu Ru grabbed Zheng Xiu's hand: "Then what happened to the two thieves Yang and Feng?"

    "Naturally it is complete." Zheng Xiu handed the bowl to Qiu Ru: "Now that Brother Bao is out of customs today, he is taking care of the red flag affairs."

    Zheng Xiu finally added.

    "That's good, that's good."

    Qiu Ru couldn't help nodding her head with tears in her eyes: "With the leader of Tianbao in charge of the situation, he will definitely be able to turn the tide, and I don't need to trouble you as a girl." She said, gently stroking Zheng Xiu's face.

    Zheng Xiu bit her lower lip lightly, and held her nanny's chapped palm, but her heart was half guilty and half sad.

    My godmother doesn't have a heart, she is loyal to her mother all her life, and after the death of Mrs. Shi, she is loyal to herself.  If it wasn't for her unavoidable circumstances, Zheng Xiu would not be willing to ask her wet nurse to play such a cruel trick.  Qiuru doesn't know many inside stories.

    "Godmother, rest well, I'll ask the kitchen to cook a bowl of lotus seed soup for you."

    Zheng Xiu comforted Qiuru, walked out of the door and turned around a few courtyards, seeing no one around, she asked in a low voice, "Have you sent anyone back to Annan?"

    After a while, a part of Zheng Xiu's shadow suddenly appeared, twisting and turning in the morning light.

    I saw the shadow answering hoarsely: "Yesterday the boat left with the dismissed people, and it is time to go ashore now."

    Zheng Xiu's face relaxed: "That's good."

    "Leader Xiu, so you are here."

    Only after the sound sounded, the writhing shadow slammed away.

    Zhao Xiaoyi came over: "Tianbao leader is looking for you everywhere."

    "Understood Brother B, I'll go right away." Zheng Xiu's face remained unchanged: "My godmother is awake, please ask the kitchen to make a bowl of lotus seed porridge and bring it over."

    "Okay, wrap it on me."

    After hearing this, Zheng Xiu left in a hurry.  (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
