Although it is located in the middle of the valley and is sheltered on both sides, after all, it is at sea, the sea breeze is whistling and the hanging windows are clattering, Wang Cuiqiao glanced at her sister who has not come back to her senses until now, and sighed and poured a glass of water.

is different from Wang Cuiqiao, from beginning to end, Wang Lushu doesn't know anything, and even now she doesn't know that her sister is a spy who was stuffed over, only that her husband was killed, and the old enemy Wang Zhi knocked on the door, if it wasn't for Mr. Fang to take him in, I was afraid that the end would be worrying.

Looking through the gap in the slightly open window, Wang Cuiqiao had a strange feeling in his heart, the main hall of the inner house on the top of the mountain was still stained with blood, but Xu Hai's mastermind was talking and laughing with the owner of the Wufeng boat in the vegetable garden.

Who is Mr. Fang?

Wang Cuiqiao could only know through Qian Rui's previous recounting of his mother's recovery from a serious illness that this person must be related to Qian Yuan...... And the scene in front of him is enough to prove that this person and Wang Zhi also have a relationship.

Xu Hai is really miserable, the people around him and those who are regarded as his confidants all have their own thoughts...... is different from the legendary woman who died for Xu Hai, Wang Cuiqiao, who was almost forcibly stuffed by Qian Yuan, has no affection for Xu Hai.

Not daring to look at it again, Wang Cuiqiao locked the window and went back with the water glass.

"No wonder it was said before that Xu Hai's first-grade nitrate is still very useful." Qian Rui said with a smile: "Xu Hai is also from Huizhou, and he is a mortal enemy with Hu Ruzhen, the governor of Zhejiang, but the old shipowner ......."

"Xu Hai is a Kou, Wang doesn't dare to take the name of this Kou." Wang Zhizheng said: "Everything has been explained before, and Mr. feels that the government is really appeased."

"Since it's not Kou, how can you talk about appeasement" Qian Rui shook his hand and said softly: "Therefore, it is one of them who is not regarded as a widow who is in the same stream as Xu Hai." ”

"Oooh...... No wonder you want me to offer Xu Hai's head. Wang Zhi suddenly realized, "This is a certain step for Wang." ”

"Second, the southeast guard station was rotten and unbearable, and Hu Ruzhen, the governor of Zhejiang, organized and trained a new army...... After spending a lot of silver, Xu Hai once found out that the Governor's Mansion withheld two Huai salt taxes to finance military expenses. Qian Rui said in a low voice: "The old shipowner's command is far superior to Xu Hai, if he Hu Ruzhen is not appeased, he will continue to fight."

"This is true, in early March, a senior official died in Jiaxing Mansion, and it is said that the DPRK reprimanded Hu Ruzhen...... He's having a hard time. Wang Zhi grabbed his hair and whispered, "But I really can't rest assured." ”

"After two years of war, Wang knew that Xu Hai's wing, 4,000 elites, a total of 6,000 would-be robbers, would be wiped out within half a month."

According to the messenger Hu Ruzhen...... Songjiang Qian Zhancai first frustrated Xu Hai's sharp spirit, and then Qi Jiguang, deputy chief soldier of Zhejiang...... Defeat Xu Hai within three quarters of an hour. ”

Wang Zhi patted his thigh, "Damn, so elite...... Wang has a lot of manpower, but the fight is ...... I'm afraid it's not as good as Xu Hai's! ”

"Hahaha......" Qian Rui laughed and said: "The old ship owner is too worried, too worried!" ”

"Why did the gentleman say that?"

"Fang asked first, the old shipowner said that he was willing to be a businessman, not a coward, but this statement was sincere."

"Sincerely, of course!" Wang Zhi sighed: "Back in Ligang, I tried my best to restrain it, but unfortunately people like Ye Bichuan, Xu Hai, Xiao Xian and others did bad things, so that Ligang was destroyed and there were Japanese robbers...... But in the past few years, Wang has restrained his subordinates from intruding on the southeast coastal ......"

Speaking of this, Wang Zhi sighed again, "But first started a war with Xu Hai, there were many casualties, and now the southeast is still forbidden to the sea...... Otherwise, Wang would not have been appeased. ”

Qian Rui had been under Xu Hai and Wang Zhi, and he quickly understood this sentence...... Wang Zhi means that the war with Xu Hai caused a lot of damage to Wang Zhi's fleet, most of everyone's ships are cargo ships, not to mention the casualties in the naval battle, just the delay is distressing.

However, because Xu Hai invaded the southeast coast several times, all prefectures and continents strictly banned the sea, and Wang Zhi's previous smuggling channels had been completely destroyed, and the leaders of his fleet were very dissatisfied...... You must know that in this dynasty, the so-called sea trade was mainly exported, and Chinese tea, silk, cotton, and porcelain were all sought-after goods from Japan, Southeast Asia, and the West.

If, after Xu Hai's death, the southeast regards Wang Zhi as a replacement, not to mention the opening of the sea and the ban on trade, it will be difficult to open even the smuggling channels, which is difficult for Wang Zhi to accept, and even more difficult for his fleet to accept.

If it gets to that point, even Wang Zhi will find it difficult to control the situation, and the southeast coast will once again be full of flames.

Qian Rui kept the fan in his hand, but he was extremely shocked in his heart, he made a judgment based on Wang Zhi's narrative, but a few months ago, his son Qian Yuan made a roughly similar judgment.

In Qian Yuan's words, appease Wang Zhi, a win-win situation, if there is a war, both lose.

"In fact, the old shipowner has already made up his mind, why bother Fang to add a snake" Qian Rui smiled: "The old shipowner knows that the southeast official army annihilated Xu Hai in a war, but the old shipowner is crisscrossing the sea, what can the officers and soldiers do with you?"

"Even Hu Ruzhen wanted to get Xu Hai's head to ask for merit from the DPRK, but he had to borrow the power of the old shipowner."

Wang Zhi frowned and stared at Qian Rui tightly, "Mr. How can you say that Wang has made up his mind to be appeased by Hu Ruzhen"

"If the old ship owner only wants to cross the sea, he will not tell him not to start a war with the official army and naval divisions just now, there are more than 20 sea ships, including three lucky ships, such sailors are only afraid that there are few in the southeast."

Wang Zhi was stunned for a long time before he praised: "See the subtle knowledge." ”

"It's over." Qian Rui got up and picked two more tomatoes, picked up a spoon and scooped a scoop of water in the wooden barrel to wash it, handed it to Wang Zhi, and bit it himself, "But is Hu Ruzhen credible...... Old shipowners need to be cautious, but as long as they don't go ashore, they can't do anything. ”

"However, the DPRK and China have so far strictly banned the sea, and the old shipowner has obtained a large number of goods"

"Xu Hai only cares about grabbing silver and silk, or coercing Qingzhuang and letting him grab some tea and come back...... No, there is no tea to entertain the old shipowner. ”

Qian Rui persuaded him earnestly, thinking about Wang Zhi both inside and outside his words, but Wang Zhi kept sitting there with his eyebrows locked, and the tomato in his hand didn't move.

When Qian Rui really had nothing to say, Wang Zhi suddenly asked: "Sir, do you know that Songjiang Huating Qian Yuan Qian Zhan is a talented person?"

Qian Rui, who was gnawing on tomatoes, shook his hand, and the juice flowed down the corners of his mouth, and his mother continued to talk to Xu Hai and Wang Zhi in detail today, and she could always hear this name.

"This person's voice shook the southeast, famous all over the world, that is, the name of 'broom star' was spread on the sea, and he defeated Xu Hai three times, how did Fang not know"

"It is rumored that he has a secret recipe for fading brown sugar and brown sugar, and the taste of foreign sugar is really good, and Westerners are willing to pay a high price." Wang Zhi muttered a few times, took a bite of the tomato, and then continued: "The messenger sent a message, dedicated Xu Hai's head, and Xu Kaihai forbade trade...... The two messengers, one of whom was a fellow villager in Huizhou, privately informed that this sentence came from Qian Zhancai's mouth. ”

Qian Rui threw away the last bit of residue, took a towel and wiped his hands, "Hu Ruzhen promised to be appeased, and Qian Zhan allowed to open the sea to ban trade"

"Yes, Wang originally wanted to appease first and find a small island in Zhoushan to set up a grass market, just like in Ligang back then." Wang Zhi licked his lips, "Think about it later......"

Qian Rui didn't know his son's plan behind him, so he didn't dare to talk nonsense, so he could only guess along Wang Zhi: "Although Xu Hai is dead, there are still Japanese invaders attacking the southeast, and I am afraid that the DPRK and China will not open the sea ban, and trade is even more ......."

"yes!" Wang Zhi nodded again and again, "I don't know what Qian Zhancai's idea is." ”

Qian Rui pondered in his heart for a while, and asked softly: "What does the old ship owner plan?"

"Hu Ruzhen passed the word and ordered Wang to lead the maritime merchants ashore in Shaoxing Mansion......" Wang Zhi shook his head, "If Qian Zhancai, Qi Jiguang, and Yu Dayou lead troops to surround them, then Wang will end up worse than Xu Hai!" ”

"This is where Wang is embarrassed, and it is also the place to ask Mr. for advice."

Qian Rui didn't know what Qian Yuan was going to do, but through so many secret letters and two meetings between Qian Hong and Qian Yuan, he knew very well that Qian Yuan wanted to appease Wang Zhi.

Therefore, Qian Rui suggested, "Go to Zhoushan, the officers and soldiers will have fewer water divisions, and they will advance and retreat freely." ”
