Gou was a member of the imperial family in the late Ming Dynasty

Chapter 898 Robber?

After becoming a Niulu Zhangjing, according to the Eight Banners system, he had direct Eight Banners subordinates. This was an essential change. From this point of view, Huang Taiji's reward was very heavy.

Yuan Chongyu instantly became excited as if he had been injected with chicken blood. He stuck his butt out and kowtowed three times in the direction of Shengjing. Then he got up, took the imperial edict, and expressed his loyalty in front of the person who announced the edict.

Afterwards, after discussions between Yuan Chongyu, Ajige and the people sent by Huang Taiji, Yuan Chongyu took some people to Mokpo and set up a special agency in Mokpo to ensure subsequent trade. The gold, silver and jewelry they brought were also sent to Mokpo to ensure subsequent trade.

When Yuan Chongyu returned to Mokpo, he met the person who sent him there again. After he took out several large boxes of mouth-watering treasures, the other party was also extremely excited. After collecting a part of the deposit, the other party's ship set sail.

This time it was just a tentative trade. On the one hand, it was to confirm the safety of the route, and on the other hand, it was to ensure the other party's sincerity. Now that both were confirmed, they were about to return. Once they returned to Jiangnan, subsequent goods and ships would go out to sea. This was the beginning of real bulk trade.

After seeing off the ship at the dock, Yuan Chongyu returned to his residence in Mokpo with great joy. Now everything has been arranged, and the next step is to wait for the arrival of the next ship. Once the ship arrives, wealth and glory are just around the corner, and Yuan Chongyu is looking forward to it.

In the blink of an eye, more than a month passed. After waiting for a long time, the ships from Jiangnan finally appeared on the sea. When he saw more than a dozen ships coming from the south, Yuan Chongyu, who learned the news, hurried to the dock and looked forward to it.

After a short while, the boats came to the shore one after another, and soon people got off the boats. When Yuan Chongyu saw Yang Dehua getting off the boat, he was surprised and happy, and he hurried forward to greet him cheerfully.

"Mr. Park... Oh, I should call you Lord Yuan, right? I haven't seen you for many days, but you are still as charming as ever!" Yang Dehua said with a smile and bowed.

Yuan Chongyu was slightly stunned and then understood. He was not embarrassed at all. He laughed and said, "Brother Yang, you have worked hard on the way. I didn't expect that you would come here in person. Is this your first time to Korea? Although Korea is a small country, it has its own unique scenery. Since you are here, let me entertain you. How about it?"

"Hahaha! Lord Yuan is a straightforward person. The guest follows the host's wishes. Then I'll trouble you. By the way, let me introduce a friend to you, Lord Yuan." Yang Dehua pointed to a middle-aged man behind him and said, "This is Mr. Qiao Changfu, the aide of Lord Wang Jiwang, the governor of Zhejiang. Mr. Qiao and I will handle the trade with Lord Yuan this time. This is the first time you two meet today. We are both good friends. You can get closer."

Qiao Changfu stepped forward with a smile and bowed to Yuan Chongyu. Yuan Chongyu was very happy after hearing the other party's identity. He had known for a long time that the Zhejiang Provincial Governor was involved in this trade, but he had never dealt with the other party before. This time, it was naturally the most appropriate thing to send Qiao Changfu to be responsible for this matter together with Yang Dehua.

Both parties knew it well, and although it was their first meeting, they were polite and seemed very intimate. After exchanging a few pleasantries, Yuan Chongyu suggested that the two go to his place to rest first, because the subsequent unloading, inventory, storage and trade would be handled by his subordinates. They had just come from a faraway place and had worked hard. Although Korea was small, it had no shortage of hospitality, especially because Korea was a place of beauties, and Korean Li Ji was famous all over the world. As the host, it was natural to make the guests feel at home.

Under Yuan Chongyu's enthusiasm, Yang Dehua and Qiao Changfu naturally would not refuse and readily agreed. Moreover, when they landed, they had carefully looked around and found that this place was completely controlled by Yuan Chongyu. Not only were there Korean officers and soldiers guarding it, but there were also elite Eight Banners soldiers with pigtails.

These Eight Banners soldiers were extremely sturdy and well-equipped. With these arrangements, what else was there to worry about? Besides, this was Korea, not the Ming Dynasty, so they didn't need to worry about safety.

In this way, under Yuan Chongyu's arrangement, they moved into the house in Mokpo. Yuan Chongyu set up a banquet that day and invited several beautiful Korean women to accompany them. With good wine in hand and beauties by their side, everyone was in a good mood. In addition, this trip was very smooth. After several days of sailing, how could they not be happy with such a relaxing place?
During the banquet, the three of them had a great time, especially when they talked about the profits from this trade, they were extremely happy.

The drinking session lasted from the evening until late at night. When they had almost finished drinking, each of them was supported by a beautiful woman to go downstairs to rest. In the bedroom, they tossed and turned wildly, and faint unbearable noises were heard. The noises gradually subsided until midnight.

It was already late at night, and Yuan Chongyu was soundly sleeping with two Korean women in his arms. In the two guest rooms not far from him, Yang Dehua and Qiao Changfu were probably doing the same.

Having consumed a huge amount of physical energy and drunk too much wine, Yuan Chongyu slept exceptionally soundly. In his dream, Yuan Chongyu seemed to be back at the banquet, surrounded by women and very happy. However, this time he was no longer the Niulu Zhangjing as he was once again rewarded by Huang Taiji for his merits and became the Jiala Zhangjing.

Now his official position has surpassed that of his father-in-law, and he has become a famous figure in the Eight Banners. He not only has money but also power. Even those real Jurchens have to bow to him when they see him, and those who are under his command have to call him "Master".

Yuan Chongyu was very happy, as if he had seen the day when the Qing Dynasty entered the pass and seized the world and replaced the Ming Dynasty. At this time, he, Yuan Chongyu, became a founding hero, and he would be given a high position and a generous salary. He would also be given a noble title and his family would be honored. The more he thought about it, the happier he became. Yuan Chongyu couldn't help laughing, but he felt a little thirsty, probably because he drank too much. Yuan Chongyu shouted to the side: "Bring me some water!" As soon as he finished speaking, a beautiful woman brought water over. Just as Yuan Chongyu was about to reach out for the glass of water, the beautiful woman actually picked up the glass and poured it directly at him. Yuan Chongyu was unprepared and was splashed with cold water all over his head.

"Asshole! Do you want to die?" Yuan Chongyu cursed, but the beauty showed no fear. She continued to splash water on him with a smile, which made Yuan Chongyu furious. Just when Yuan Chongyu was about to kick the beauty and chop her with a knife, several people appeared out of nowhere and hugged him, saying to him, "Master, you can't do this! You can't do this!"

"Why not? This is outrageous! I must kill her! Let her go! Let me go!" An angry Yuan Chongyu struggled to move forward, but the person holding him held him tighter and tighter, and Yuan Chongyu could not break free no matter what. The beautiful woman continued to splash water on his face, giggling as she did so, which made Yuan Chongyu even more angry.

"Let me go! Let me go! You bold slave! Why don't you let me go! I will kill her! I will kill her!" Yuan Chongyu kept yelling, and suddenly he was splashed with water in the face again. The beautiful woman boldly stretched out her hand and slapped him on the face. There was a slapping sound, and Yuan Chongyu felt the pain from his face and woke up suddenly.

"Haha, this kid is finally awake. I don't know what kind of nightmare he had. He was shouting 'slave' and wanted to kill someone again." A strange voice sounded in his ears. Yuan Chongyu, who had just woken up from a dream, had a mess in his mind and didn't know where he was.

After a while, he gradually came to his senses and found that he was tied up, with cold water splashed all over his face and body, and water drops dripping down his cheeks.

"This... what's going on?" Yuan Chongyu was dumbfounded. He recalled the scene in his dream and realized that the water splashing on him was not a dream but real. However, the one who splashed water on him was not the beautiful woman in his dream, but a burly man with a big beard. The burly man was squatting in front of him, looking at him with copper bell-like eyes with teasing and mockery.

As for the servant holding him, he was also fake, because he was tied up tightly with several ropes and could not move at all.

He wanted to look around, but his head couldn't move freely. He looked around reluctantly and recognized that the place he was in was still his residence, but he was not on the couch where he used to sleep.

"You... who are you?" Yuan Chongyu realized that something was wrong and was instantly frightened awake, asking stutteringly.

"Haha, you were so full of energy just now, why is your face so pale now?" The bearded man asked jokingly, smiling and patting his face.

"Okay...good man...you are asking for money, right? I have gold and silver. Please tell me a number. I promise to give it to you with both hands. Please show mercy and let me go." Yuan Chongyu was worthy of being a big businessman. He was flexible and quick to react. He quickly changed his words.

As he said this, his eyes rolled around, trying to see the situation around him, but unfortunately he failed. However, he was not too worried. After all, he knew that he was still in his residence. Even if the other party succeeded for a while, it would not matter. His residence was protected by the Eight Banners soldiers, plus there were also many Korean soldiers. Moreover, the place of Mokpo had long been completely controlled by Yuan Chongyu. When he came here from Seoul, he brought dozens of elite Eight Banners soldiers. Although those Korean soldiers were not reliable, there were still hundreds of them. With so many people, just a few strong men were no problem at all. As long as he stabilized the other party first and waited for him to get away, the situation would be reversed in an instant.

"Boss, look at this kid's eyes rolling around. It seems like I don't know what he's thinking about." The bearded man said with a laugh when he saw him like this.

As soon as he finished speaking, he could hear laughter from several people all around. Although he couldn't see them, he could tell from the laughter that there were at least three or four people in the room.

"What else can you do? You just want his men to come and rescue you." A strange voice sounded. The voice was very calm, without any ripples, but it sounded extremely cold in Yuan Chongyu's ears.

"Okay, let's get down to business. Third brother, go out and see if Eighth brother and the others have finished dealing with it. If they have, leave as soon as possible. This is not a place to stay for long."

"Yes!" The bearded third man responded, stood up and left. A moment later, several whistles were heard from outside. After the sound, Yuan Chongyu was hit hard on the back of the head before he could react, and then he knew nothing.
