Chapter 474

Although it was just an ordinary breakfast, it was extremely luxurious, but Pu Shougeng had no appetite. He only ate a few bites and put down the ivory chopsticks in his hand. He believed that he was not a timid person. As early as many years ago, the pirates invaded Quanzhou and the officers and soldiers were powerless. He organized the forces of the clan with his brother Pu Shousu. With his powerful maritime power, he personally led the war to help the officers and soldiers defeat the pirates. He knew that his assistance was to protect the huge interests of the family, but he also received a reward. He was awarded the Fujian Pacifier and the Coastal Commander for his merits, pacifying the military affairs and civil affairs, and commanded the maritime defense, and had a temporary power.

After that, although Zhang Shijie siege twice, although he was in his seventies, he still personally wore armor and knives to guard the city, repelling countless attacks by the Song army. Especially when the second siege, the Song army siege for three months, and he had never been timid and always commanded the troops in the city to fight the enemy. But this time the Song army only raided Zhangzhou, why did he feel so uneasy? Is this the retribution for Allah's treason for his treason?

Asked himself, Pu Shougen admitted that Song Ting was good at him and knew that the reason why he could achieve success was that he had gained huge wealth was inseparable from Song Ting's favor. Not only did he provide various preferential conditions, he was also entrusted with important tasks, and even did not avoid his status as a foreigner. He appointed him as the Quanzhou Maritime Warehouse Department, in charge of foreign trade, and had trust and favors for the past 30 years. It was through this convenience that he was able to trade all over the world and become the leader of Quanzhou's maritime merchants, and thus made friends with many officials. Then their protection earned more benefits and became the actual controller of Quanzhou.

As the invading Yuan army gradually moved south, Quanzhou city was getting closer and closer to the front line, and Han people inside and outside Quanzhou took action to provide money and supplies to support the court and the rebel army, Pu Shougen had to make plans for what he would go early during the Song and Yuan Dingchang. He was very clear about Quanzhou's special status. If Song Ting could use this wealthy city as a base, with the strong city, the wealth of economy, and the sufficient manpower, the Song army would have to stand firm for a long time to wait for the counterattack opportunity and move from Quanzhou to the surrounding area, so that the result of the war might be rewritten.

As a ******* Pu Shougeng, like many people in the city, had no good feelings for the Yuan court. Originally, in Quanzhou, the Persian sects had an advantage, but after he took power, he controlled Quanzhou with his huge influence in the court. However, no matter which sect they belong to, their hometown was destroyed and looted by the Yuan army, so they did not want to accept the rule of the Yuan court from their hearts. Moreover, Song Ting was magnanimous and benevolent enough to *******.

In terms of general terms, Pu Shougen knew that he should support Song Ting to resist the Yuan Dynasty, but he also understood that Song Ting had already set sun and could not resist the Yuan army's southward advance, and it was only a matter of time before Quanzhou fell. In the single choice of whether to protect the old master and die together, or to sell the old master to continue wealth, the natural businessman instinct told him that the Mongolians who valued business could bring greater benefits to themselves, so he made the "correct" choice.

Pu Shougeng summoned his fellow disciples in the city, and the Cheng Song court continued to impose heavy taxes on the foreign merchants, forcing them to spend huge amounts of money to bribe officials, causing everyone to suffer huge losses. Now that the Yuan army is at the city, it is better to change the gates and strive for greater benefits. The Pu family, including the ******* in Quanzhou, have received great favors from the Chinese Song Court. With Pu Shougeng coming forward, most **** in Quanzhou City have naturally forgotten the national hatred, the grace of China, and enjoy the fun of second-class accomplices.

Of course, there are also some people who do not support themselves and oppose their "justice" behavior, saying that the Mongols invaded Arabia, massacred countless fellow churches, seized countless fellow churches, and constantly insulted their faith. However, as a Quanzhou scholar, Song Lu was given to Song En, but surrendered to the Yuan army, served as a tiger, and served as a disciple of Hu, who massacred fellow churches, and would be punished by Allah and the prophet in the future. But his determination was not something that several opponents could control. With the support of many fellow workers, he contacted Quanzhou officials to drive away the Song court, but unfortunately, the young emperor and his brother ran away...

"Lord, am I wrong? I just want to earn more money to worship you more peacefully, build a more magnificent temple for you, and let more people follow your teachings!" Pu Shougeng murmured. After thinking for a long time, he felt that he was not wrong. Now he has not only gained the full trust of the Mongolians, but also obtained the power of the edicts to the world, so that his fleet can pass through the world and earn more benefits than before. But he himself knew very well that the Yuan court was also using himself to expand trade and earn money for them.

At the same time, after the fall of the Song Dynasty, many remaining ministers went overseas to take refuge, and even hoped to use the power of their original vassal states to fight against the Yuan court. Among them were Chameng, Annan, Jiaozhi, and Fusang, the countries in the South China Sea. If they received their support, it would definitely become a disaster for the Yuan court. Of course, the Yuan court, who was keen on expanding their territory, naturally also hoped that the overseas countries would surrender to them, so they urgently needed to lure them. However, Pu Shougen believed that this was actually a business. He got money and the Yuan court also gained wealth and reputation. Everyone took their needs and traded fairly. He did nothing wrong. After all, making profits is the duty of a businessman.

"If we cannot destroy the remnants of the Song court, our business will be a big loss!" Pu Shougeng sighed. He thought that if he had persuaded the Khan to send troops to wipe out the Song court, he would have no worries, but he did not expect that a little emperor would die and another little emperor would come. This little emperor seemed to be really not easy to mess with. Not only did he defeat the Yuan court Liu Shen, but he also killed two armies of Ali Hague, and almost wiped out all the coastal naval forces. In this way, they occupied Qiongzhou and controlled the sea routes to the south, which would have an impact on their trade and seek revenge on themselves.

"Help me go to Guanhai Tower!" Pu Shougeng thought that he could no longer sit still, so he decided to go and see it himself. He originally thought that he could protect him from worry, but he thought that this ordinary man would not listen to the advice and insist on going to rescue Zhangzhou, which made him nervous.

"Where did the fleet come from? How could it be such a large scale!" Pu Shougeng just climbed the Wanghai Tower and saw a fleet appearing on the sea from afar, but he couldn't see the flag clearly. He turned around and asked.

"Master, it seems to be Song Jun!" The servant narrowed his eyes, put on the pergola and looked at it for a moment and replied.
