Brother Zhao Jin was very worried, worried about the situation on Jiang Zhen's side.
He is no longer in danger for the time being, but what about Jiang Zhen
Zhao Jinge sent people to go out to investigate, pretending to be ordinary fishermen, and at the same time, he took the fleet and found a small island to stay temporarily.
They came out in a hurry, many things were not ready, and the island was inhabited, which means they could replenish food and water.
"Brother Jin, what happened?" Zhao Fugui came out of the cabin and found Brother Zhao Jin.
They were about to go to sleep when they were suddenly taken to the ship by Zhao Jinge, completely unaware of what happened.
"Father, we have encountered a little trouble." Zhao Jinge said.
"What trouble? Is there any danger?" Zhao Fugui asked again.
"No, don't worry, Dad." Zhao Jinge smiled at his father, trying to appease him, but he didn't know his own face, which was actually very ugly.
He hoped he was wrong, but they weren't in any trouble.
He hoped that Jiang Zhen would be able to pick them up soon.
But, hope in the end is just hope.
After waiting for a day, Zhao Jinge got news from Jiang Zhen and saw Jiang Zhen's fleet.
The people on the boat were all covered in embarrassment, and Jiang Zhen had blood stains on his body.
What they encountered is self-evident.
"Brother Jin, you will be a fugitive with me in the future." Seeing Brother Zhao Jin, Jiang Zhen laughed.
"Okay." Zhao Jinge nodded solemnly.
Seeing his serious look, Jiang Zhen's smile was not as bitter as it was at the beginning, but rather sincere: "Don't worry, Brother Jin, the world is so big, there is always room for us!"
Although there are many places in this world that are different from the history he once knew, and the names of different places are different, the terrain is the same.
That being the case, there are still undeveloped Americas here, and overseas, there are large tracts of unowned land.
He regarded Qinghua Island as a retreat, but he just hid a lot of people here and hoarded a lot of food supplies. When he really had to leave Daqi, he did not intend to be trapped on such a small island.
The court's navy is not vegetarian. Behind the family, there is the entire Daqi backing. Even if they have so few people, no matter how strong their combat effectiveness is, if they stay on such a small island, can they still stop the steady stream of navy
If he was really trapped here, he might have to turn against him first.
Jiang Zhen had made a lot of preparations before, but he didn't get to that step, so he didn't think much about it, but at this moment, he cleared the fog and had a clear direction to move forward.
"Boss, what should we do next?" Jiang Zhen's men asked worriedly.
They were all at a loss at the moment.
Although some of them were dissatisfied with the imperial court, they had a good life, and they never thought of leaving.
As long as life is not over, the people will not want to resist.
All they want is to live in peace with food and clothing, but sometimes the court just can't think of this...
"Let's go to Dongyang." Jiang Zhen said.
"Tongyang?" Everyone was a little surprised. They thought they would live on Qinghua Island, or go to Ryukyu like Cheng Yongzhen, but Jiang Zhen would actually propose to go to Dongyang.
"Ryukyu is too close to Daqi. It won't take long for the navy of Minnan Prefecture to reach Ryukyu. If you go to Ryukyu, it is better to go to the East Ocean." Jiang Zhen said.
People from Dongyang can come to Daqin, why can't they go to Dongyang
Of course, the top priority is to go to Qinghua Island and bring their supplies.
As for those who are still in Hexing Mansion...
Jiang Zhen and Zhao Jinge came out in a hurry this time. Many of their subordinates, as well as their family members, were left in Hexing Mansion.
Jiang Zhen had the intention to pick up those people, but now that they go back, they have just thrown themselves into the net...
Fortunately, although Qi Qing is a little stubborn, he is not a bad person, at least he will not let people kill innocent people indiscriminately.
Jiang Zhen sighed, he is not a god, and he can't do everything in the end.
Jiang Zhen took the fleet and went to Qinghua Island first. After bringing all the people and supplies on the island, they went to the East without stopping.
Sun Qiyun's men were defeated by Jiang Zhen's men in Yabian Village. In anger, they tried to slaughter the remaining people in Yabian Village to vent their anger, but they were stopped by Qi Qing.
However, they still arrested some of Jiang Zhen's subordinates, and after tortured to extract confessions, they asked about the existence of Qinghua Island.
This Jiang Zhen has actually built an island overseas, what a wolf's ambition!
After Sun Qiyun got the news, he ordered all the soldiers and horses immediately, borrowed some soldiers from Hexing Mansion, and then went straight to Qinghua Island.
However, this island has long been empty.
There are houses on the island that are only half built, and the vegetables grown on the island have not yet grown, but there is not a single person.
"Where did that damn Jiang Zhen go?" Sun Qiyun couldn't help asking.
"Ryukyu?" Qi Qing frowned.
Ryukyu is now occupied by Cheng Yongzhen's old department, and it is very chaotic, but if Jiang Zhen passes, those people will definitely accept him.
Qi Qing and Sun Qiyun were silent for a moment, and then went to Ryukyu again. At this time, Jiang Zhen's fleet was heading to Dongyang all the way.
Toyo is an island country, but that island is very, very large.
Here, Jiang Zhen has been here long ago.
Every time he came here before, he was welcomed by the people here, but this time, the situation was different.
In the past, the Orientals were docile, but in the past two years, they have changed a lot.
They found that the people in Daqi were not as powerful as they thought, and they also found that robbery was actually faster than honest business.
The things that Daqi sold to them in the past were always too expensive, and they were clearly cheating them. That being the case, why would they buy things from Daqi now
They might as well just grab it!
As a result, Jiang Zhen and the others had just landed when they encountered a group of ronin who tried to rob his fleet.
The people of Daqi are very afraid of the Dongyang Ronin, they dare not resist, but Jiang Zhen's subordinates are ordinary people.
Jiang Zhen killed all those who came to loot, killed and caught.
"We just stopped nearby and encountered attacks. Many people were injured. We have to cultivate here." Jiang Zhen said to the officials who came over from Dongyang. On the seaside of Dongyang, he occupied a piece of land and lived there. .
Nobody cares about them.
There is a royal family on Dongyang's side, and at the same time, there is a wooden mansion, and the two sides have been fighting for compensatory vacations. In recent years, when their fighting was the most intense, the people's lives were not very good.
It is also because of this that many Orientals will leave here to seek life in Daqi.
Dongyang's royal family and Mufu have reached the level of immortality. At this time, how can they have time to drive Jiang Zhen away
When they found that Jiang Zhen had brought many craftsmen and could even make weapons, they even started to befriend Jiang Zhen, hoping that Jiang Zhen could sell them weapons.
Jiang Zhen agreed.
His weapons will be sold to the Oriental royal family, and also to the people of Mufu. At the same time, he began to take in those displaced Orientals and teach them the language of Daqi.
Dongyang people and Daqi people have different languages and have different habits, but for the people at the bottom, what they ask for is nothing more than food and clothing.
Jiang Zhen's subordinates will not kill them at will, and are even willing to give them food, as long as they learn the language of Daqi... What does it matter
Although at this time, many people in the East have already started to rob Daqi, but for the vast majority of people in the East, Daqi is their heavenly kingdom and a very prosperous and powerful place.
Some of them even feel honored to learn the language of Daqi.
Of course, Jiang Zhen did more than that.
The sanitary conditions in this era were not very good, and he couldn't stand long hair for a long time. After arriving in Dongyang, he took the lead in cutting his hair short. When his subordinates saw this, they all followed suit.
As a result, the people on Jiang Zhen's side all had short hair.
Later, even those oriental commoners followed suit and changed their original strange hairstyles.
Jiang Zhen occupied more and more territory, and even made a lot of money by doing business.
In the second year that Jiang Zhen came to Dongyang, the navy of Daqi was still fighting with Cheng Yongzhen and the Japanese pirates along the coast of Daqi, but Jiang Zhen sent people, pretending to be ordinary maritime merchants, and took away a lot of them from Daqi. The subordinates who were willing to go to Dongyang also took away most of his family members who had not had time to take them away.
A small number of them were not taken away, some were unwilling to leave, and some were married to others after their husbands suddenly left.
These people, Jiang Zhen took away with the help of Zheng Yi.
He became the first target of the grown-up His Majesty, but the Zheng family was fine.
The Zheng family's Changhe salt field is well managed, keeping the price of salt stable, and earning a lot of silver taels. They don't have armed forces like Jiang Zhen. For the Zheng family, that His Majesty is the main one to win over.
Master Zheng Er has always been a man of interest, so it is naturally impossible to disagree.
After all, the sage is the child of the queen mother. The queen mother is very forgiving to the sage. Can he still fight against the sage
After Jiang Zhen brought this group of people to Dongyang, he had more manpower. At this time, some of Cheng Yongzhen's old troops were dispersed by Daqi's navy. After they were desperate, they also chose to join Jiang Zhen.
Once at sea, the most powerful person was Cheng Yongzhen, but now, he has become Jiang Zhen, and Jiang Zhen's subordinates alone are young and strong men, and there are already 20,000 to 30,000 people.
This number is not particularly large. It is incomparable with Daqi's army of several million, but in the East, it is already a powerful force.
In particular, Jiang Zhen has been making deals with some of the remaining maritime merchants in Daqi.
He bought a lot of craftsmen in Daqi, bought weapons and food, armed his men, and began to take in more and more Orientals.
Toyo's royal family and Mufu didn't realize that something was wrong until this time, but it was too late.
After years of fighting, they have long had no weapons and no food...
If it is pushed forward for many years, science and technology develops, and there are publications such as newspapers, maybe they can mobilize the people of Dongyang to resist the invaders together, but now, there are no such, many Dongyang The common people have only a vague concept of the royal family.
What's more, Jiang Zhen has never done anything like massacre, and he has always been very friendly to the people of Dongyang.
