During the period of Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhang Shicheng and Fang Guozhen fled to the sea, and Fujian Mengyuan also fled to the sea, and then merged with the ronin from Japan, which formed the earliest Japanese pirates.

Its strength is very strong, often entangled with 350,000 people, every time it attacks the coastal areas, the Ming officials and troops are unable to defend against it.

As a result, there was the ancestral system of sea banning.

The Zhoushan archipelago, although there are two thousand households. However, when Tang He was in charge of Zhejiang's defense, he constantly transferred Zhoushan soldiers to strengthen the coastal defense forces along Zhejiang's coast. By the middle of the Ming Dynasty, a large number of military households fled, and now the military strength of Zhoushan's guard is less than 500.

What can 500 guards do?

The Zhoushan area has a wide area of water and many islands, and has long been a paradise for pirates.

But these pirates do not know how to build, or rather, they are too lazy to build. Take Shuangyu Island as an example, the scattered houses are in a mess, and the port and wharf can be used, how can it look like the largest pirate base in Zhejiang?

A small boat came from the west.

Wang Yuan stood at the bow of the ship, with a long knife hanging from his waist, a bow and arrows on his back, wearing a shirt and a square scarf, dressed as a Confucian man.

Pang Jian rocked the boat and gradually approached the port.

Some pirates had already spotted them, and when the boat came to shore, they immediately surrounded the two of them.

"Brother Hu," Pang Jian said with his fists clenched, "I will bring Mr. Wang, the master of the Zhejiang Governor's Mansion, to see him, please inform Chen Dana." ”

The pirate surnamed Hu laughed: "That Governor Wang, really don't dare to come by yourself?" Only one scholar was sent. ”

Pang Jian said: "The general system of the king has other important tasks, this Mr. Wang is his clansman, and he can act on behalf of the governor with full powers. ”

"Come with me," the pirate surnamed Hu glanced at Wang Yuan, nodded and said, "You scholar is very bold, don't you just throw it into the sea to feed the fish?" ”

Wang Yuan asked rhetorically: "What good will it do you to cut me?" ”

The pirate surnamed Hu thought for a moment and said with a smile: "That's right." You are a member of the king's satrap, so it is better to tie you up and ask for a ransom. ”

Wang Yuan asked, "How much does Brother Hu think I'm worth?" ”

The pirate surnamed Hu stretched out three fingers: "Those who are officials are rich, and those who are governors are even richer, and you can get at least three thousand taels if you are kidnapped!" ”

Wang Yuan pondered: "It's not cheap. ”

"Hahahaha!"

The pirate surnamed Hu laughed: "You scholar is a bit interesting." Come, blindfold, and I'll take you to Dana. ”

Wang Yuan stood there without resistance, allowing the pirates to blindfold himself and even take away his weapons.

Led forward by pirates, in the darkness, Wang Yuan heard the exclamation of the pirate surnamed Hu: "Good knife!" ”

Wang Yuan said with a smile: "I have followed President Wang for several years, killing rebels in the Central Plains and barbarians in the Western Regions. Before and after, this knife has also stained two or three hundred lives, but it has not yet been notched, do you think this is a good knife? ”

The pirate surnamed Hu looked at Wang Yuan in surprise: "Just you, a scholar, can kill two or three hundred people with your own hands?" ”

Wang Yuan said: "What is this? Wang Zong's soldiers pointed out, and the military flag was directed, and tens of thousands of thieves had been killed. Even the king of Turpan in the Western Regions was captured by the general system of Wang and returned to Beijing to be dedicated to the emperor! ”

"Kill tens of thousands of thieves? I'm afraid it's a good kill, and the officials and soldiers like it. The pirate surnamed Hu scoffed.

Wang Yuan sneered: "Tens of thousands of people were captured before and after the general system of the Wang Dynasty, and they can use it to kill the good and take the risk? The twenty-one-year-old right attendant of the military department and the governor of Zhejiang, how do you think it came about? ”

The pirate surnamed Hu opened his mouth and did not answer.

Whether it is a pirate or a horse bandit, he disdains the reader verbally, but he is still very envious and admired in his heart. What's more, Wang Yuan was not only the top student in high school, but also served as the right attendant and governor of the military department at the age of twenty-one, which was really a great man for pirates.

A moment later, Wang Yuan was ushered into a wooden house, and the pirate surnamed Hu presented his bow and sword.

Chen Da's real name is Chen Shuangxi, his father won the naval battle that year, and it happened that his son was born, which can be described as double happiness, so he has this name.

Chen Shuangxi sat on the chair, playing with the dragon bird knife, and said casually: "Meng Bu is relieved." ”

Wang Yuan and Pang Jian saw the light again, and arched their hands: "I've seen Chen Da!" ”

Chen Shuangxi smiled and asked, "Didn't that Governor Wang dare to come?" ”

This is a very ordinary house, without any magnificent furnishings, and it does not look like the nest of a giant on the sea at all.

Wang Yuan glanced at Chen Shuangxi, this person was five short stature, shirtless, stocky and strong, and his skin was tanned. There are scars on his face and chest, but there are no tattoos or anything like that, and a beard adds a bit of majesty.

Wang Yuan asked: "If the general system of the king comes here, how can Chen Da really want to belong to the imperial court?" ”

"The man who begs for life by the sea, one spit, I Chen Shuangxi say the same!" Chen Shuangxi cut the railway.

Wang Yuan said with a smile: "Chen Da, please hold your back." ”

Pang Jian immediately exited the room, blocked by two pirates at the door.

Chen Shuangxi pursed his lips, waved his hand and said, "You all go out, I see what this scholar wants to do." ”

All the pirates in the house left, and Wang Yuan reminded, "Bring the door shut." ”

Chen Shuangxi found it even more interesting and said, "Listen to him, close the door." ”

There were only two people left in the room, and Wang Yuan paced towards Chen Shuangxi, who immediately grabbed the handle of the knife.

Wang Yuan stretched out his hand and grabbed a chair and dragged it to sit down in front of the other party: "Guess, who am I?" ”

Chen Shuangxi smiled: "I heard that the governor of Zhejiang is very young, you can't be the governor of Wang, right?" ”

Wang Yuan arched his hand and said, "Chen Da has good eyesight!" ”

Chen Shuangxi's smile froze, stared at Wang Yuan and said, "I don't believe it." ”

Wang Yuan asked, "How much news does Chen Da know about Wang Yuan, the governor of Zhejiang?" ”

Chen Shuangxi said: "I heard that he won the champion in his teens, led the troops to kill Liu Liu and Liu Qi, and it seems that he also won a battle in the Western Regions. ”

Wang Yuan said with a smile: "It's not about winning a battle, it's about destroying a country in the Western Regions." Has Chen Da ever been to North Korea? ”

"Naturally, I've been there." Chen Shuangxi said.

Wang Yuan suddenly cocked Erlang's legs, and said in a rude tone: "The country that Lao Tzu destroyed in the Western Regions has a territory larger than North Korea, and it has expanded more than 2,000 miles for my Ming Dynasty!" ”

Chen Shuangxi frowned, sat up straighter, and asked, "Are you really Governor Wang?" ”

"It's like a fake!" Wang Yuan said.

Chen Shuangxi suddenly laughed, pointed at Wang Yuan and said, "You scholar, you almost scared me, grandpa doesn't believe that officials dare to come to the thieves' den." ”

"It depends on who is in charge!"

Wang Yuan squinted at each other:

"You're not well-informed."

"When Lao Tzu was not admitted to the top prize, he dared to chase and kill hundreds of thieves on a single horse, riding dozens of miles, and killing dozens of thieves with one man and one horse!"

"Lao Tzu took two hundred cavalry to the battle, and in the first battle, he rushed into the formation of more than 10,000 thieves and captured thousands of thieves on the spot!"

"Lao Tzu took more than 100 cavalrymen, so he dared to chase and kill the main force of the thief army, and brought the heads of Liu Liu and Liu Qi back to see the emperor!"

"Lao Tzu took thousands of recruits who had only been trained for two months, and he broke through tens of thousands of old thieves, broke a few ribs, and chased and killed the thief's head for hundreds of miles, and captured the thief Qi Yanming alive!"

"Lao Tzu took 4,000 soldiers and horses, subdued the ten Mongolian tribes in Guanxi, rushed thousands of miles to attack the Turpan royal city, and captured the king of Turpan back to Beijing at full speed!"

"You thief's nest? also deserves to be put in the eyes of Lao Tzu? ”

"Either submit to the imperial court, or kill Lao Tzu. Lao Tzu is the emperor's most trusted minister, after killing Lao Tzu, don't say it's you, the maritime pirates in Zhejiang, Fujian, and Guangdong all have to be buried with Lao Tzu! ”

Chen Shuangxi opened his mouth wide, stunned, not knowing how to answer.
