Chapter 236: Too Much Joy Turns into Sorrow, Slap in the Face
"Master Yuetuo!"
"Come on, let's drink this bowl of wine together!"
"Although I am a Westerner, I like to drink your Eastern wine Qiulubai the most. It is really strong!"
Nasri, the white Hu commander who led the fleet to complete the final transaction with the Later Jin Tartars, stood up, raised the wine bowl in his hand, and smiled at Yuetuo, the leader of the Red Banner, who was sitting across the table.
Nasri had lived in the Ming Dynasty trench area for several years and could speak fluent Ming Mandarin. He had no communication problems with Yuetuo, who also spoke Ming Mandarin. Even the translator around him seemed redundant.
"Okay! Do it!"
"We, the warriors of the Later Jin Dynasty, love to deal with people who drink readily."
Yue Tuo stood up, raised his bowl and clinked it with the other party's, and said with a smile, "I have to say that the ten famous wines from the Ming Dynasty are also liked by our Houjin warriors. Of course, there are also those fair and tender beautiful girls, haha..."
While he was laughing triumphantly, he looked at the second young master of the Ye family who was accompanying him, his eyes full of sarcasm.
To him, these Nikans of the Ming Dynasty were nothing but useless trash who could be taken away at will.
The only thing that interested him was the famous wine and beauties of the Ming Dynasty.
Well, also, he really likes the feeling of chopping off the heads of Ming soldiers and civilians with a knife.
"Ha ha……"
Ye Guodong, the second young master of the Ye family who served as the middleman for this big deal, did not feel embarrassed at all. He also raised his wine bowl and said with a smile, "I know that the two distinguished guests like to drink Shandong Qiulubai very much. I specially brought 3,000 jars for each of you on board as a testimony of our friendship."
"As for our friends, our Ye family will never treat them unfairly."
Why are the Ye family willing to act as witnesses to this round of transactions?
The purpose was to trade with these white barbarians for the most famous Arabian dragon horse in the West.
This magic dragon horse is a top-grade spiritual beast, on the same level as the Eastern dragon-scale horse. Both are extremely rare and precious spiritual beasts and war horses in the Ming Dynasty.
In this big world, what is different from Li Dingguo’s previous life is that during the same period in his previous life, Ye Xianggao, who had been dead for several years, is still alive and well.
This veteran who had served as the Prime Minister of the Ming Dynasty for decades and three dynasties, although he has retired, but with his extraordinary vision, he had long seen that the Ming Empire was now on the decline and was about to collapse.
In order to completely improve the embarrassing situation that the Ye family has not always been at the top in terms of military strength, the Ye family is prepared to spend a huge amount of money to introduce a thousand Arabian magic dragon horses from the white barbarians who occupy the Daming trenches, to provide the best top-level spirit beast mounts in the world for the magic dragon guards that the family is forming.
The shrewd Ye Xianggao knew very well that if he wanted his family to prosper forever, the only thing he could rely on was strong military force.
It's not just the Ye family that is doing this. Almost all the thousand-year-old families in the Ming Empire are preparing to do so.
This is the biggest difference between this magical world and the Ming Empire in Li Dingguo’s previous historical world.
In the world of cultivators, the idea that the strong are respected is deeply rooted in people's minds. These thousand-year-old families know very well that a strong family force is the most reliable guarantee.
As the second young master, Ye Guodong, one of the geniuses of the Ye family, he would not care about the open and hidden ridicule from Yue Tuo, a barbarian from the grassland.
Even if these Tartars are likely to occupy China again after a period of time, what can they do to these top families?
Were the Mongolian Tartars of the previous dynasty powerful enough?
Still, they don’t dare to touch these thousand-year-old families.
"it is good!"
"It's refreshing enough!"
"Master Ye, you are worthy of being our good friend in the West. You are so loyal!"
"That's right! Master Ye, I don't obey other Han people, but you!"
As soon as Ye Guodong finished speaking, the eyes of Nasri and Yuetuo at the scene lit up, and they immediately raised their right thumbs to praise the extremely generous and magnanimous second young master of the Ye family.
The nature of the white people and the Tartars, whoever feeds you is your mother, was fully exposed at this time.
"Master Ye, there are three Arabian dragon ponies on my flagship treasure ship. They are the gift I want to give you!"
"Master Ye, we have brought a thousand-year-old blood ginseng to your father, Master Ye Xianggao. We have placed it on the flagship ship of the navy officers and soldiers. We will give it to you later and present it to Master Ye Xianggao."
The two distinguished foreign guests had been exposed to Ming culture for a long time, so they naturally knew what reciprocity meant, and they all spoke up.
Whether they are white Hu people or Later Jin Tartars, most of them are outspoken. Apart from being greedy, they always say whatever they think without any reservation.
"Ok?"
"There is a situation!"
"What happened?"...
At this moment, the three people at the scene were all martial arts masters of the fifth level, with powerful spiritual consciousness. They suddenly felt something, and their faces changed. They looked towards the direction of the large dock outside the door! Especially Yue Tuo, who was already a martial arts master of the fifth level of the middle stage, with the strongest perception. While his face changed drastically, he shouted to the pirate leader Jia Shuisheng who was serving wine, "Is this your conspiracy?"
"Explain to me right now why the enemy is attacking right now? And it's happening right at the big pier!"
His face turned ashen, and his whole body was filled with internal energy. Once he confirmed that this was the other party's conspiracy, he would start killing immediately!
"Ah! Are there enemies attacking?"
Jia Shuisheng was immediately frightened and turned pale. He said tremblingly, "I don't know either!"
"Who knows who is this thief who is so bold as to come here and cause trouble?"
At this time, he also heard faint screams coming from the big dock, and they continued. It was estimated that there were quite a few enemies attacking this time.
When the second young master of the Ye family looked at him with a grim face, Jia Shuisheng already knew that no matter what the outcome of this incident was, he was finished!
With such a big mistake in such an important matter, it would be a miracle if he could keep his position as the third steward of the Ye Mansion!
What he needs to do now is to make up for his loss, hoping that the master will spare the lives of his wife and children in consideration of his hard work for the Ye family over the years.
As the third steward of the Ye Mansion, how could Jia Shuisheng not know the background and ruthlessness of his master's family?
Anyone who makes a fatal mistake while working for the master, no matter who they are, will have their entire family wiped out!
Just when Jia Shuisheng was frightened out of his wits by the sudden change, a guard leader of the Ye family hurriedly flashed into the reception hall and hurriedly reported, "Second Young Master! A powerful enemy is attacking!"
"The one coming is a man and a sculpture!"
"Their fighting power is too strong, and the attack was launched suddenly at night. All our soldiers on the treasure ship have been killed!"
"The soldiers left behind at the big dock are now almost all killed!"
"Second Young Master, their fighting power is too strong. I have urgently ordered all the warriors in the family's water fort to rush to the big pier to provide support immediately!"
This time he was completely frightened.
He had followed the second young master Ye Guodong throughout the years and had met countless great masters, but he had never seen such a powerful enemy who could kill as quickly as mowing the grass!
"what?"
"The enemy is just one man and one eagle?"
"In just a short while, they have killed all the soldiers from our three factions and those guarding the treasure ship? Are they slaughtering the remaining soldiers at the big dock?"
"Too deceiving!"
"Let's go! Let's lead the soldiers out to see who this person is. How dare a mere person with a spirit beast like an eagle act so arrogantly!"...
After everyone at the scene heard the cause of the incident and the general situation of the battle, they were stunned for a moment, then became anxious and angry, and started cursing!
"Whoosh!"
“Whoosh! Whoosh!”…
Everyone at the scene reacted quickly. While cursing loudly, they flashed and rushed out of the reception hall one after another.
Some people were quickly mobilizing their troops, while other masters were using their skills to leap and move towards the big pier!
Most of them were experienced warriors and knew very well that if all their treasure ships were seized, the consequences would be disastrous.
No one is afraid of the incoming enemy.
Yue Tuo, who had extremely rich experience in warfare, knew that it was impossible for the enemy to have overwhelming strength against him.
Otherwise, he would not have adopted the strategy of night raid. Wouldn't it be more convenient to break in during broad daylight?
There are not many defensive forces left at the big dock and the various fleets tonight.
Even if it was Yuetuo himself, if he launched a night attack when the enemy was unprepared, there was a great possibility that he would kill them all.
Flying rapidly towards the big wharf, Yuetuo, who was at the front, was not worried that he could not defeat the enemy, but was worried that the enemy would set a fire and set his treasure ships, which were regarded as treasures by Huang Taiji, on fire and burn the fleet!
Not only him, but also Geng Zhongming and his son Geng Jingzhong, who were even more anxious and still one step behind Yuetuo, ran towards the big wharf in a rage.
As the chief and deputy commanders of the newly established navy of the Later Jin Tartars, once the treasure ship here is lost, Huang Taiji will definitely order their heads to be chopped off!
Led by Geng Zhongming and Geng Jingzhong as their chief commanders, the Tartar fleet headed south for a big trade. On the two high-quality treasure ships and one top-quality treasure ship, there were huge amounts of wealth and supplies loaded!
Its value accounts for more than 30% of the total wealth of the Later Jin clan today!
Especially the dozens of psychic cannons and hundreds of psychic crossbow carts on these three treasure ships, their value alone is inestimable!
Once these large-scale war weapons that Huang Taiji values most are lost, the consequences will be disastrous!
Even more anxious than them were the white Hu generals led by Nasri.
They truly value money more than their life.
This large fleet is the treasure of the Governor's Office in Haojing!
Not to mention the millions of magic cores of various levels loaded on it, as well as the large number of psychic cannons and crossbow carts!
As for the value of this large fleet, most of the noble families in the Ming Dynasty cannot compare to it.
Once they are burned or taken away by the enemy, these white barbarians will absolutely be in excruciating pain, and will most likely be tortured to death by the Governor of the Trench Territory!
They all ran towards the pier in a hurry. The second young master of the Ye family, who was a step behind, was in a similar mood at this moment. The anger in his heart almost seemed to be about to explode!
An incident happened on their own territory, which severely slapped the face of the Ye family. This was absolutely unacceptable to the Fuqing Ye family, who valued face more than life.
