Chapter 158: Marquis Jinghai (please vote for me!!!)

The moon is dark and the wind is high, and the sky is full of murder and arson.

The waves crashed on the beach again and again. Under the cover of night, small boats were lowered from several giant ships worth 5,000 materials. On each boat were five or six people with serious expressions on their faces. soldiers.

They rowed their oars and quickly approached the shore, fueled by the waves.

I turned over and got off the boat, carrying the boats and hiding in the grass nearby. The rows of footprints were washed away by the waves and disappeared.

Cui Hao hid the boat, glanced at the soldiers gathered around him, and made a sneaking gesture.

The group of people moved forward slowly along the edge of the grass. Along the way, there were often Fujiwara warriors patrolling above their heads.

But no one would have thought that just under the slope at their feet, a group of murderous gods had quietly arrived.

""

The unlucky samurai fan came out to urinate with his eyes wide open, and was instantly dragged into the grass. He received the box lunch before he even had time to scream.

Perhaps he would give himself a piece of advice before he died: never urinate anywhere.

Cui Hao wiped off the blood donation with a short knife under his arm and led the team to move forward. Their goal was not to capture any fortress, but to eliminate the Fujiwara clan without anyone noticing. There are clear and hidden sentries along the coastline.

In the dense forest, there was a rustling sound soon, and more than a dozen corpses were dumped in the unknown grass.

"The captain searched everything within a three-mile radius, and not a single mosquito flew out." A soldier reported proudly.

Cui Hao nodded, "Go and send a signal to the general."

A small boat returned to the giant ship. After Qin Hao heard his report, he waved his flag. , the five giant ships were like giant beasts of the deep sea, slowly sailing towards the shore.

"Kill"

As the Fujiwara clan's samurai discovered that the enemy was invading, the original night attack directly turned into a charge with open swords and spears.

I have to admit that Fuso’s warriors are still very brave, and they often encounter situations where famous warriors are charged by Qin Hao’s troops.

Of course, this behavior is actually stupid, because before they had time to get close, they were already penetrated by several spears.

In terms of military literacy, the elites of the Song Dynasty were also very good at fighting. The reason why they often lost battles was entirely because they were tricked by a group of civil servants who did not understand military affairs. One general was incompetent and exhausted the entire army, and the soldiers were afraid of being tricked. , naturally I lost my courage.

In order to protect the Iwami Silver Mine, the three thousand men Zhao Zongquan gave to Qin Hao were all elite border troops who had just changed defenses. Under proper command, facing the Fujiwara clan with basically zero military literacy, they were like Chopping melons and vegetables is average.

It was not until the Fujiwara clan's headquarters fortress that the advance slowed down. After losing a large number of warriors, the Fujiwara clan finally organized a decent resistance.

It was just a little more presentable. Half an hour later, the outer wall of the Fujiwara clan’s headquarters fortress was cleared and the gate was conquered.Qin Hao stabbed the heart of a still-breathing warrior with a long knife, and his soldiers followed suit and struck these warriors with follow-up blows.

These are the core samurai members of the Fujiwara clan. They have fought to the end without surrendering. They do not need any humanitarian assistance, so sending them on their way is the best choice.

Being kind to the enemy on the battlefield is cruelty to yourself.

In a palace, the current head of the Fujiwara family, Fujiwara Ye, shouted in a sad and angry tone.

"You people from the Song Dynasty mined silver on our territory, plundered our wealth, and killed our people. Aren't you afraid of retribution?"

Qin Hao raised his long knife and said coldly The voice said: "The whole world is not the land of the king. Fusang is a vassal of our country. What's yours is also ours. If we become a king or lose a bandit, why bother barking there?"

"Kill, leave no one behind"

Although the remaining warriors of the Fujiwara clan were not afraid of death, they were completely defenseless in the face of absolute strength and were eliminated in less than a quarter of an hour.

Only the family leader, Fujiwara, gathered around these dozen samurai as the last resistance, and behind them were the direct family members of the Fujiwara clan.

Fujiwaro stared at Qin Hao with a sad and angry look, "You people from the Song Dynasty are all devils"

Qin Hao wiped the mixture of blood and sweat on his cheeks, and a fishy stench hit his nostrils. When he came, he smiled, "No, you are the ones, and we are responsible for sending you to hell."

"Puff" the spear pierced the body, making a muffled sound, Fujiwara and others The man fell into a pool of blood helpless.

"General, what are they going to do?" Cui Hao asked, pointing to the remaining women and children. All the adult men of the Fujiwara clan died in the battle just now, and only these women and children were left. .

Qin Haozheng was hesitating when suddenly one of the seven or eight-year-old boys shouted, "One day I will kill you to avenge the Fujiwara family."

"Seeing their serious Are you hating? This is a nation that cannot be influenced. Physical salvation is more suitable for them." Qin Hao gave Cui Hao a cruel smile.

"No"

After the screams of "Ah", the surname Fujiwara completely disappeared in the long history of Fuso

"Search here may be hidden In every secret room, don’t let any Fujiwara clan member go.” Qin Hao ordered Cui Hao to clean the battlefield.

"Nuo"

Sure enough, there are still a large number of Fujiwara clan members hiding in some secret rooms and cellars of the Fujiwara clan. Their first reaction when they saw the Song Army soldiers was They picked up the weapons around them to resist and injured several soldiers. After that, no one would be kind to them. Those who picked up weapons on the battlefield were the enemies.

After a night of killing, the sky broke and the golden crow rose in the east. The strong smell of blood was very pungent.

And Qin Hao's soldiers were happily carrying the treasures that the Fujiwara clan had collected over the years to the ship, and they also had a share in it.

Soon, the news that the Fujiwara clan was wiped out spread throughout Fuso. The daimyo lords in various regions were dumbfounded. The strongest force in Fuso, which they regarded as a flood beast, was actually wiped out so easily.

After finding out that Qin Hao was responsible for the downfall of the Fujiwara clan, a group of daimyo lords came to visit with gifts.

But this time Qin Hao put on a kind face, chatted happily with them, and gave these famous names an honor they had coveted for a long time.

Noble surnames, every daimyo who came with a gift was given a noble surname by Qin Hao.

Feudal society in any region has its own blood theory. The Emperor of Zhou in the Western Zhou Dynasty has the noblest bloodline, and other royal families have the blood of Emperor Zhou.

The Mongolian tribes have always admired the golden family bloodline, and the nobles of the European continent are even more proud of their Germanic ancestry.

Originally, only the emperor had the qualification to grant noble surnames in Fuso. Unfortunately, during the shogunate era, the emperor no longer had any rights and was just a puppet. No one listened to him at all.

As the most powerful military force in this island country at this time, Qin Hao also represented the Song Dynasty, the sovereign state of Fusang, so he could naturally exercise this right on his behalf.

Not only that, while Qin Hao gave these daimyo lords noble surnames, he also gave their samurai noble surnames.

Fuso’s surnames are all rather sloppy, such as Shimada, Yamamoto, and Sakai, which sound o-ish to them.

The surnames given to them by Qin Hao are much nobler than Baili, Huyan, Dongguo, Gongyi, and Liangqiu, and all of them can be found in classics, which will make it easier for them to brag in the future.

Of course, Qin Hao did this not to have nothing to do. The main purpose was to differentiate these daimyo and samurai. Everyone also has aristocratic surnames. Why should I listen to your orders?

Fusang has a large population. Qin Hao's three thousand people alone cannot kill them all, and forcing them to join forces is enough to give Qin Hao a headache, so it is more in Qin Hao's interests to let them fight among themselves. .

When hatred accumulates to a certain level, there is no possibility of reconciliation. A pile of scattered fusang is what Qin Hao wants to see.

Sure enough, soon some of the samurai under the daimyo began to want to establish themselves. Some successfully got rid of the shackles of the previous daimyo, some were killed by the daimyo, and some succeeded in directly usurping the throne. Fuso began Really enter the era of melee.

During this period of time, Qin Hao did not just focus on an island like Fusang. Siam, Java, Borneo and other offshore countries were Qin Hao's targets.

Compared with the extremely poor cultivated land in inland cities, Southeast Asian countries are vast and sparsely populated, and have unique climatic advantages. They are extremely rich in various spices and rice production, and the local indigenous people do not understand Farming is also very lazy. A lot of spice rice is left unpicked until it rots in the ground. It is simply a waste of natural resources.

What Qin Hao has to do is organize a fleetThe team will transport these things back. Of course, Qin Hao himself has no sailing experience and does not know the sailing route, monsoon time, etc. The best way is to find cooperation with those maritime merchants.

As the only maritime force in the Song Dynasty, coupled with Qin Hao's identity as the legitimate son of the Hou Mansion and the fourth-grade general Xuanwei, it was naturally too late for the maritime merchants to curry favor with him.

And with the protection of their own maritime power, maritime merchants no longer have to worry about encountering pirates or blackmail from local indigenous lords, and are willing to cooperate with Qin Hao.

With the help of these merchants, Qin Hao also participated in the first ocean voyage. Except for encountering a storm on the way, everything went smoothly. The indigenous people from all over the country faced such a situation. You have a fleet with a huge armed force, and you don’t have any evil thoughts at all. It’s good that they don’t rob you.

The first time we cooperated, we just arrived in Siam and Thailand. The goods could not be loaded and we had to return.

The gems and gold harvested in Chenla Cambodia alone filled three ships, and the others were filled with ivory, spices and rice seeds.

Ship after ship of supplies were shipped to Bianjing. Zhao Zongquan was overjoyed and promoted Qin Hao with a wave of his hand. Although the title was given to General Yunhui, a loose official from the third rank, at least the rank was considered to be promoted. He went up, and this promotion was only a year after he left Bianjing.

In the Great Song Dynasty, such a speed of promotion is absolutely unique.

At the same time, under the auspices of Han Da Xianggong and others, the coinage reform was also implemented. The new version of copper coins and the old version of copper coins were circulated in the market at the same time. However, because the new version of copper coins was more exquisite, the old version of copper coins in places like the Liao Kingdom The market value has declined, and more old copper coins have begun to return to the Song Dynasty.

Zhao Zongquan ordered some copper coins to be re-melted and made into new versions of copper coins to be re-entered into the market.

The new version of silver coins is even more popular, and commodity transactions are much more convenient than before.

After Qin Hao successively transported large quantities of gold back from Zhenla, Zhao Zongquan had already started thinking about casting gold coins.

The success of this coinage reform also greatly increased Zhao Zongquan's prestige. Those nobles who had been waiting and watching began to gradually turn to Zhao Zongquan. The power of the Queen Mother was greatly reduced, and the relationship with Zhao Zongquan was not as harmonious as before. .

Just entering winter, Gu Yankai's old injury relapsed and died. After receiving Zhao Zongquan's edict, Qin Hao also rushed back to Bianjing from Fusang for the funeral.

Qin Hao did not see Gu Tingye at Bianjing Pier. At this moment, he was kneeling in front of the soul and playing the role of a filial son. Originally, this role should have been assumed by his elder brother Gu Tingyu, but with his body, he probably could not No matter how long you kneel, the Gu family will hold another funeral, and Gu Tingye can only do it for you.

However, in the eyes of many people, this is a sign that Gu Tingye will inherit the title of Marquis Ningyuan. After all, according to the situation of the three legitimate sons of the care family, it seems that only he is the most suitable to inherit the title.

"Husband." Yu Yanran saw Qin HaocongWhen he got off the boat, he jumped out of the carriage without any regard for etiquette and plunged into Qin Hao's arms.

Qin Hao gently held her waist and whispered in her ear, "Go back and prepare hot water. I will not argue with you until my husband meets with the official."

Entering the palace, Zhao Zongquan was very happy to see Qin Hao. He laughed and said, "I love you without any courtesy. The sea breeze has been blowing for a whole year. I have worked hard to love you."

Qin Hao bowed and said, "The official's words are serious, and the responsibilities are not hard."

Zhao Zongquan said with emotion, "If the officials of the imperial court could take the initiative to share the worries of others like Aiqing, what would happen in this world?" After praising him, Zhao Zongquan said to Qin Hao with emotion, "My beloved has traveled across the ocean to share my worries with the court at a young age. There are many storms on the sea, and my beloved has no heirs. I have always been in my heart." It’s not safe, so why not stay in Bianjing for a while to recuperate?”

Qin Hao understood that Zhao Zongquan saw the huge interests overseas and wanted to completely hold these rights in his own hands. The person who succeeded Qin Hao was Zhao Zongquan's brother-in-law Shen Congxin.

Qin Hao secretly laughed. He asked why Zhao Zongquan suddenly asked him to come back for the funeral. Although Gu Yankai was his uncle, after all, the Gu family and the Qin family were two different families, and they were not considered close relatives. They did not have to. Came back for funeral.

It turned out to be because I was afraid that he would not come back.

"I take orders" Qin Hao is not in a hurry. Shen Congxin may be brave enough to lead the troops to fight, but when faced with various complicated relationships at sea, only those who can handle them will have no need for Qin. If Hao gives him a stumbling block, he can destroy himself.

When overseas income drops sharply, Zhao Zongquan will naturally invite him to come out again.

In order to appease Qin Hao's emotions, Zhao Zongquan was also very generous. In addition to rewarding a large number of rare treasures and imperial farmland, he also gave Qin Hao the title of Marquis of Jinghai, but in the future Qin Hao will definitely It is still necessary to inherit the title of Marquis of Dongchang. After all, the title of Marquis of Dongchang is hereditary, while the title of Marquis of Jinghai needs to be inherited by downgrading.

Of course, in the future, Qin Hao can also let one of his sons inherit the title of Marquis of Dongchang, and let the other son downgrade to inherit the title of Marquis of Jinghai. The premise is that he must have two sons. In ancient times, only men could It is the embodiment of productivity tools.

Qin Hao had just returned home and before his buttocks got hot, Zhao Zongquan’s imperial edict came down, and all the rewards were in place. It was obviously prepared before Qin Hao came back.

When Qin Junye heard that his son had become a marquis on his own, he burst into tears and said that he wanted to open an ancestral hall to worship his ancestors and comfort the spirit of the old marquis in heaven.

The Qin Liu family seems to be relatively calm. She is the eldest lady of the Hou Mansion. When her son becomes a Marquis, she is still the eldest lady of the Hou Mansion. Nothing has changed.

But Yu Yanran is different. Her hands holding the imperial edict are still shaking and her lips are moving slightly. You can hear it if you listen carefully.Come on, she is saying, "I am also a marquise."

Just when Qin Junye was about to celebrate, Qin Hao stopped him and said, "My uncle just passed away, so let's forget about the celebration. I have to change clothes and go." Let's pay our respects."

Qin Junye also felt that it made sense. He was still grateful to Gu Yankai. It was thanks to his brother-in-law who took care of him when the Dongchang Hou Mansion was in decline. So that it won't be too miserable.

After a hasty meal, Qin Hao took Yu Yanran to Ningyuan Houfu.

As soon as he entered the front yard, he saw Xiao Qin coming forward with Gu Tingwei crying.

"Brother Hao, if the Marquis is gone, how will we live as orphans and widowed mothers in the future?"

Qin Hao couldn't help but secretly admire this little Qin's acting skills. It's a pity not to be a movie queen. In fact, she is about to become the concubine of Ningyuan Houfu. What's so hard about her life? As long as she doesn't cause trouble, even if Gu Tingye inherits the title, he still has to show filial piety to her, give her gifts during festivals and so on. It is definitely indispensable.

Qin Hao looked at his cousin Gu Tingwei again, crying very sadly. It didn't seem to be fake. Although he was a playboy, he still had some conscience.

In fact, if Xiao Qin's family was not too ambitious and wanted Gu Tingwei to inherit the title, Gu Tingye's life would have been very comfortable.

A good dandy, if he is forced to carry such a big banner as Ningyuan Houfu, he is not afraid of crushing him.

"Auntie, please rest assured. There are two cousins ​​in the Ningyuan Marquis Mansion, and we in the Dongchang Marquis Mansion will not let others bully you." Qin Hao said the scene, and his hidden meaning was, If you are being unreasonable, then don't come to me.

All the way to the mourning hall, many nobles took the initiative to say hello to Qin Hao. This time they called Marquis Jinghai instead of Little Marquis.

Xiao Qin’s eyes shone when he heard this. Although this title required downgrading to inherit, it was still a title that someone had fought for on his own. When he looked at his unfulfilled son, he suddenly felt My heart is so tired.

When Gu Tingye saw Qin Hao coming back, his bloodshot eyes couldn't help but reveal a hint of joy.

"Cousin, you're back."

Qin Hao patted Gu Tingye's arm, "My cousin, my condolences."

That night, Qin Hao When he returned to the courtyard and made love with Yu Yanran, Qin Hao discovered that Yu Yanran was a little too excited. Only then did Qin Hao realize that she had taken the "secret medicine" in advance.

"You are not allowed to eat it in the future. What if it hurts your body?" Qin Hao glared at her.

Yu Yanran rubbed her hot cheek against Qin Hao's chest, "Husband, I want a child." Please remember to bookmark it, the latest and fastest website for free reading without anti-theft
