From Jinling to the mouth of the Yangtze River, the southern capital has a smooth journey, with the speed of a sailboat, not to mention a thousand miles a day, there is no problem in sailing seven or eight hundred miles a day, so the boat travels in less than a day, and Yang Cong and his party rushed to the Jinshanwei jurisdiction.

At this time, the time agreed with Wang Zhi had not yet arrived, and Yang Cong did not choose to land at Nanhui Fishing Port, he chose the military port of Jinshan Weizhonghou.

At this time, Tang Kekuan had already arrived with his army and was stationed in the rear post of Jinshanwei, and Li Xing, the commander of Jinshanwei, also led a group of officers of the guard to wait here.

Yang Congzhuo stood on the bow of the ship, looked around, and silently observed the defense of the military port.

He found that the defense of the military port of the coastal guard post was still very good, and the port was surrounded by walls and arrow towers, and if the enemy ships entered the port, the defenders could burn them all with a single round of rockets.

It's a pity that people are not stupid, it is impossible to rush straight to the military port stupidly, the coastline of the Ming Dynasty is so long, they can land at any place, if you want to strengthen coastal defense, you still have to make a fuss on the warship, only the quality and quantity of the warship occupy an absolute advantage, in order to dominate the sea.

He pondered for a while, and the fleet had already approached the dock, and at this time, Tang Kekuan and Li Xing had already led a group of officers to the bottom of the flagship and lined up to greet them.

Yang Cong had experienced a lot in this meeting, he walked down the hanging ladder unhurriedly, exchanged a few words with the generals one by one, and then entered the Jinshan Weizhong station to settle down.

The next day was the day agreed with Wang Zhi, early in the morning, before the arrival of the day, Yang Cong led the army to Nanhui Fishing Port, set up a formation, and waited for Wang Zhi to come to meet.

This time, he brought 11,000 men and horses, plus Jin Shanwei's garrison, his men and horses exceeded 15,000, he was not worried about what tricks Wang Zhi would play, but he didn't know if Wang Zhi would dare to go ashore to meet him after finding out about this lineup.

Of course, Wang Zhi knew how many men and horses the Ming army had gathered near the Nanhui fishing port, but he was not too afraid, because he also had a lot of men and horses under him, and he didn't believe that his men and horses couldn't even do this tens of thousands of Ming army guards, and he wouldn't go deep inland, he would only meet with the governor of Zhezhi near the fishing port, if the situation was not right, it would be easy for him to run.

I have to say that his courage is really fat, Yang Cong has just set up a position here, and he has already led the fleet to appear on the periphery of Nanhui Fishing Port.

At this time, the fishing port had been emptied, and Yang Cong did not order the warship to sail over, and there was no obstacle in the middle, and soon he led the fleet into the narrow fishing port.

However, he did not disembark directly, although he was bold, he was not a fool, and he could not have gotten off the ship until he was sure that it was safe on the shore.

He still sent his godson Mao Lie to contact him and asked the governor of Zhejiang to meet near the port wharf.

At this time, Yang Cong also showed his courage, he received Wang Zhi's request, and immediately took a group of civil and military generals and dozens of guards to the open space behind the port wharf, and ordered someone to set up a table, pour fragrant tea, and sit there and drink tea in a leisurely manner.

When Wang Zhi heard that the governor of Zhezhi had such courage, he couldn't help but feel a little close in his heart, no matter what other aspects of this governor were, at least he was a little similar to him in terms of courage.

He didn't hesitate any longer, and when he got off the ship with a few of his cronies and dozens of guards, he came to the open space behind the dock.

Yang Cong understood as soon as he saw his posture, this person was Wang Zhi, because Mao Lie was following him, and there were several people who were similar to Mao Lie's outfit who also followed him honestly.

Wang Zhi, how to describe this person, he really doesn't look like a vicious pirate or a wolf, because he is not tall, and his appearance is not fierce, his face is like Maitreya Buddha, very round, always smiling, like a trader.

Yang Cong saw that Wang Zhi was coming, and did not get up to greet him, but he put down the teacup in his hand, and then sat upright, posing as if he was very serious.

Seeing this, Wang Zhi became closer to his heart, what annoyed him the most was those dog officials who liked to put on music, he had also dealt with local officials when he was doing business in Huizhou Mansion before, that guy, one by one he received the money and had a stinky face, that feeling, as if he sent more money to pay off the debt, who the hell owes you money.

At least the Governor didn't show him face, which was already very good.

He stepped forward and arched his hand, "Villain Wang Zhi, see Lord Governor." ”

Yang Cong nodded, then pointed to the seat opposite and said, "Ship Master Wang, please take a seat." ”

In recent years, pirates and pirate leaders generally like to call themselves ship owners, such as Wang Zhi, who calls himself the owner of the Wufeng ship, and he inquired about this clearly.

When Wang Zhi heard this, he couldn't help but be stunned, he really didn't expect that this governor would call him by a nickname on the rivers and lakes, let alone that people would invite him to sit down and talk.

He was stunned for a moment, then cautiously stepped forward and sat down opposite Yang Cong.

Yang Cong poured him a cup of fragrant tea with his own hands, and then said solemnly: "Ship Master Wang, this official has no other intention of inviting your family to Jinling, just want to meet with you and discuss it well, you don't have to worry, your family is doing well, and your old mother's wind, cold and dampness has also been treated." ”

When Wang Zhi heard this, he couldn't help but be moved: "Thank you, I don't know what the adults have to tell you to come here?" ”

Yang Cong recruited Wang Zhi to come naturally to recruit people, but he couldn't just open his mouth to recruit An, after all, the two were not familiar with each other, and he didn't know whether Wang Zhi was worth recruiting An, and Wang Zhi was unlikely to accept the recruitment of an unknown official as soon as they met.

He said unhurriedly: "You should also know that the emperor ordered this official to come to the southeast to be responsible for clearing out pirates and pirates, and now the pirates and pirates and pirates that are raging on the southeast coast are all recruited by the shipowner, so this official wants to ask you for a favor and let everyone stop." “

When Wang Zhi heard this, he turned out to be the same as Mao Lie, his face was embarrassed, he thought about it, and then said carefully: "My lord, I'm afraid it's difficult to satisfy adults with this small matter." ”

What does this Wang Zhi mean?

Yang Cong thought about it, and then vouched: "Are you afraid that this official will settle accounts after the autumn?" You can rest assured that as long as you can change your ways, the official can open up and not blame the past. The official also knows that many of you just want to do business, not to confront the imperial court. ”

When Wang Zhi heard this, he couldn't help but sigh: "Yes, we just wanted to do some business, but the imperial court didn't allow it, many people were arrested and killed, and we had to organize people to protect ourselves." ”

These seem to be nonsense, and they can't solve the problem at all, Yang Cong simply asked directly: "Now that the official has guaranteed that the past is not to blame, why can't you stop?" ”

Wang Zhi shook his head helplessly and said: "It's not that the villain doesn't want people to stop, most of these people are summoned by the villain, but they are not subordinates of the villain, the villain summoned them to loot and make a fortune, they naturally have no opinion, but it is difficult for the villain to let them stop, because they have tasted the sweetness, and they don't listen to the villain at all." ”
