Chapter 511: Hui Shang
The island is not big, but it is not small, Qian Rui accompanied Wang Zhi around, more than 20 sea ships docked at the dock, which was left by Xu Hai, three or four hundred Japanese coquents sat honestly in the open space, and the ordnance and weapons were all put away.
Further away, there were nearly a hundred corpses, either brought back by Xu Hai from escaping, or the old man who followed Xu Hai...... With Tan Wei here, those old people naturally can't escape his eyes, and the widows who stay behind are either Tan Wei's henchmen, or they are young men who were coerced from Huzhou and Jiaxing last year.
The group slowly went up the mountain, and in the pavilion halfway up the mountain, Qian Hong took out the prepared box, which contained Xu Hai's head.
"There don't seem to be any dog......s on the island," a one-armed strong man sneered, "Take it back, the head is not small, enough for several dogs!" ”
This person is Xu Haiyi's son Mao Haifeng, who also left a name in history, the first battle that broke out the year before last, Xu Hai feigned a counterattack and defeated Wang Zhi, Mao Haifeng's left arm was cut off by that time.
"What nonsense." A short man shouted, "Take it to worship your brothers, and then make it into a box, and it will be of great use." ”
Not only Mao Haifeng's left arm, Wang Zhi received thirteen sons, six of whom died in the hands of Xu Hai.
Wang Zhi nodded slightly and pointed at this person, "He is also from Huizhou, Xu Bixi, Mr. Fang didn't see it that time." ”
"I've heard of it." Qian Rui said with a smile: "The top of the mountain is Xu Hai's inner house, and the women and children are all detained in the side courtyard, so it is better for you to go to the cold house and sit first." ”
Under the guidance of Qian Hong, the group walked to the left, and soon saw the vegetable garden, Wang Zhi smiled dumbly, "Mr. is really leisurely and elegant, and you can enjoy the joy of the countryside on the vast sea." ”
"It's all strange flowers and fruits from the West." Qian Rui smiled and asked the guards to pick a few red tomatoes, cut them into small pieces, accompanied by foreign sugar, which tasted sweet and sour, quite delicious.
"Ah......h
Wang Zhi turned his head and pointed at Xu Bixi and the others, and scolded with a smile: "Mr. Fang's relatives also dare to snoop, turn around and give you a few boards!" ”
The back room is Wang Cuiqiao and Wang Lushu's sisters, after all, they are the spies that their son stuffed in, and they don't know what to do with it, so Qian Rui can only stuff it into the back room.
"Don't dare, don't dare." Xu Bixi hurriedly left the window, touched his head and said with a smile: "Mr. Fang is the benefactor of his father-in-law, and he is also an elder of Xu......"
"Where ...... talk" Qian Rui sighed: "I didn't expect Xu Hai to be so cunning, I heard that the old shipowner was injured in three places that day, and I really felt guilty." ”
"Xu Hai......" Wang Zhi sneered twice, "Looking for dead goods...... But how can that be blamed on Mr., if it weren't for Mr. sending a secret letter, Wang wouldn't have known that he would dare to send a dead soldier to assassinate. ”
In the thirty-first year of Jiajing, Qian Rui, Qian Hong and his son fell into the sea, drifting at sea for half a day and were rescued by Wang Zhi's fleet from Ligang to the Japanese country, and recuperated in the Japanese country for half a year.
Unexpectedly, on the way back, the official army broke through Ligang, and the Japanese were everywhere, and Qian Rui and Qian Hong were coerced by Xu Hai at that time.
In May of the 35th year of Jiajing, Xu Hai led a large fleet to raid Wang Zhi's lair, and sent the dead to assassinate two groups of assassins...... Qian Rui sent a message to let Wang Zhi avoid the first wave, but Wang Zhi did not escape the second wave.
At that time, Qian Rui was thinking about how to make Xu Hai and Wang Zhi kill each other, so naturally he wouldn't tell them all...... However, not many people knew about this matter, in fact, it was planned by Qian Rui, and the few remaining insiders either disappeared or were beheaded two hours ago.
After chatting a few words, Mao Haifeng, Xu Bixi and others went to the top of the mountain, leaving dozens of guards to guard outside, Qian Hong was also sent out, and only Qian Rui and Wang Zhi were left in the vegetable garden.
"It tastes good." Although Wang Zhi is over fifty years old, he has a good appetite, swept away the tomatoes in the bowl, and said with a smile: "This foreign sugar is good, before the destruction of Ligang, hundreds of catties of foreign sugar just entered the warehouse, it's a pity...... By the way, it is from the Yingxing Sugar Shop of the Qian family in Songjiang. ”
Why did it get to Qian Yuan again...... Qian Rui echoed the two sentences and forcibly changed the topic, "Before the old shipowner arrived, Fang sealed all the inner houses on the top of the mountain and didn't take anything. ”
"Why not!" Wang Zhi frowned and said: "Mr. has taken risks here in Xu Hai over the years, and has suffered a lot of grievances, so he has to compensate a little. ”
"Fang's career is not smooth, he makes a living in business, and he is really helpless to be coerced by Xu Hai's bureaucracy." Qian Rui said lightly: "The old shipowner set up a grass market to trade, and merchants from Ligang kept shuttling, but Xu Hai was robbing with a knife...... A gentleman loves money and takes it in a good way. ”
Speaking of this, Wang Zhi patted his thigh in agreement, for the sake of public and private interests, he made up his mind to kill Xu Hai early...... This guy is too rampant, he has led the Japanese to invade the coast several times, and even wiped out thousands of officers and soldiers in World War I.
As a maritime merchant, even if the Ming Dynasty did not open the sea and ban trade, Wang Zhi also hoped to have a trade environment that was as stable as possible, and Xu Hai disrupted everything.
It's a pity that Xu Hai is too capable of fighting, Wang Zhi tried his best, and failed to kill Xu Hai after setting traps several times, and on two occasions Xu Hai fought to the death and turned defeat into victory.
In desperation, Wang Zhicai decided to cease war with Xu Hai.
Xu Hai invaded Zhejiang on a large scale for two consecutive years, and Hu Zongxian sent a secret envoy to collude with Wang Zhi to strangle Xu Hai, but Wang Zhi was jealous and did not set off for the east until he received the news of Xu Hai's defeat.
"I didn't cultivate in my previous life, I was born in Huizhou, I was thirteen or fourteen years old, and I lost it outside the door." Wang Zhi sighed: "At the age of thirteen or fourteen, I went out to do business with my elders, not only to learn the way of business, but also to teach by word and deed...... I Huizhou businessmen are all over the world, except for the people in Yangzhou who have too strong copper smell, who don't know that Huizhou businessmen take honesty as the first. ”
"He Xu Hai doesn't learn and has no skills, he is just a scoundrel, and he has no way to make a living, so he goes to Hupao Temple to be a novice, he doesn't know how to do business, he only knows how to kill people and sell goods, it's really a rat poop that spoils a pot of porridge!"
Wang Zhi's words...... Tsk, if Qian Yuan hears it, it will definitely refresh his impression of Hui Shang.
It is not mentioned in the history books that Wang Zhi is a Hui businessman.
"By the way, Xu Hai was defeated, and the old shipowner knows the details"
"Hehe, no one knows it better than I do at sea." Wang Zhi sighed: "There is really a masterpiece in the southeast, and he is still a young hero...... Oh, it's that Songjiang Huating Qian Jiazi, who went south twice after being a jinshi, organized and trained a new army, and defeated Xu Hai several times. ”
"That broom star" Qian Rui frowned: "This person is the patrol of Zhejiang, and he has no real power......
"Hey, Hu Ruzhen is also from Huizhou, and he mostly uses ......villagers in the scene," Wang Zhi said casually: "Hu Ruzhen and Qian Zhancai actually have a gap, Zhejiang civil and military officials mostly stand on Qian Zhancai's side, and Qi Jiguang, the deputy general of Zhejiang who defeated Xu Hai this time, is said to be his brother." ”
The corners of Qian Rui's mouth moved, you are two Jinshi, and you are from Hanlin...... Actually worship with the generals!
Wang Zhi was still wondering in his heart, whether Xu Hai's head should be sent to Hu Zongxian, and whether the promise given by the other party could be fulfilled
Going around and around to Qian Yuan, Qian Rui forcibly pulled away from the topic again, "Xu Hai only brought a few dozen people back and killed them along with his cronies, but it was ......"
"Hmm," Wang Zhi said in surprise: "Mr. may as well say it directly." ”
"Tan Qizhi." Qian Rui said with a smile: "Fang privately promised to spare his life and give away more than ten sea ships left by Xu Hai...... This man did not have much force, but he was proficient in business, and asked the old shipowner to make it convenient. ”
"It's just a small thing." Wang Zhi waved his hand, "Mr.'s promise is Wang's promise, besides, he was left by Xu Hai to guard the house, Mr. didn't give benefits, how dare he fight back." ”
Qian Rui breathed a sigh of relief, he managed to save his brother-in-law's life, and maybe he could hug some sea boats...... I don't know what Yuan'er wants the sea ship to do, so it is difficult to allocate it directly to the official army and sailors, which can't escape Wang Zhi's eyes.
Suddenly, the sound of hurried footsteps came, Mao Haifeng hurriedly walked in, looked at Qian Rui when he opened his mouth, and then stopped talking.
"Say!" Wang Zhi sighed.
"There is a fleet of ships coming from the west, more than twenty ships, three of which are lucky ships." Mao Haifeng licked his lips, "It should be an official army, and the Xu Hai fleet has never had a lucky ship." ”
At that time, Wang Zhi and the official army joined forces to strangle the pirates and pirates, and Ding Zhan, the deputy envoy of the sea route, gave Wang Zhi all the fortune ships along the coast......
"It should be here to chase down the remnants of Xu Hai, but the speed is not slow." Wang Zhi touched his chin and turned his head to look at Qian Rui, "Sir...... How to cope"
"I don't know what the old ship owner means, how dare Fang talk nonsense."
Wang Zhi laughed and waved his hand: "Raise the banner and let them get out, but don't do it." ”
Qian Rui watched Mao Haifeng leave, and asked softly, "What does the old ship owner mean?"
Wang Zhichang sighed, "This matter is about to be discussed with Mr. in detail, and Wang is really undecided." ”
"Fang Mou listened attentively."
