Chapter 145: Resurgence (Fourth Update)

Liegang.

In the past, this humble island became a refuge for countless pirates.

Among them is Wang Zhi of the Hui Shang faction.

Xu's father and son were all arrested in a recent encirclement and suppression by the official army, and Wang Zhi tried his best to escape from Ascension.

He collected the remnants and wandered on the sea for a long time, and finally decided to settle in Liegang.

Compared with Shuangyu, Liegang is too inconspicuous.

Neither the size of the port nor the resources on the island can be compared with Shuangyu. The most important thing is that Shuangyu has been in operation for decades, and it can almost be compared with Fufu County. And Liegang is like a poor and sour village, if you want anything, you have to start all over again.

Hey, it's so hard.

The fruits of Shuangyu today are not all the heroism of the Ming army, but in fact, there are many internal contradictions.

If it weren't for mutual suspicion and hostility everywhere, how could the Ming army break the fishermen one by one and make a profit?

Even after Shuangyu was breached, Wang Zhi thought there was still a chance.

It's just that the subsequent actions of each family are too disappointing.

But it doesn't make any sense to say that now.

It's all about staying alive.

There are many Japanese people on this small island, all of whom are from Hirado Island.

Wang Nao once went to Hirado Island and had a great relationship with the local daimyos.

Therefore, after some free talk, the local Japanese people agreed to Wang Zhi and other troops to station.

The conditions in Liegang are very poor, there are few houses on the island, and many people have to live in caves.

Wang Zhi didn't have any opinion on this, but took the lead in living in the cave himself.

In extraordinary times, don't be so particular.

After talking with Naito Naiji, the head of the Japanese people, Wang Zhi learned that these Japanese mainly lived by plundering, and occasionally took charge of some noble families along the coast to ask for money.

It's just that now that the officers and troops are powerful, they haven't opened meat for a long time.

It won't work in the long run!

The storage capacity of Liegang is limited, and there will be problems if there is no input in one or two months.

I can't take it anymore.

Wang Zhi decided to go to Naito Naito to discuss the future development.

He only took a few cronies to Jiaomen Mountain, but was blocked on the way up the mountain.

Wang Zhi had an exchange in the Japanese language, and only then did he learn that there was news that the official army was going to attack Liegang in the near future, and Naito Naito Nagaji was discussing with his confidants to stay.

Wang Zhi only felt as uncomfortable as a bone stuck in his throat.

Naito Choji shouldn't suspect that he brought the official army in, right?

From an objective point of view, Wang Zhi is indeed very suspicious.

Now Wang Zhi can't tell even if he has a mouth.

But he still has to say.

At this time, if he can't even stay in Liegang, then he can really only drift on the sea.

"Please also give me a message, Wang Zhi has something important to discuss."

Wang Zhi asked sincerely in the Japanese language.

The man hesitated, but finally nodded and went up the mountain.

Wang Zhi waited patiently at the foot of the mountain, expecting Naito Naito to change his mind.

After about a stick of incense, the widow came down the mountain.

He spoke in the Japanese language, and Wang Zhi's color changed slightly.

Naito Choji meant to let him go up the mountain alone, without any personal guards.

Isn't this a Hongmen feast?

Wang Zhi was very conflicted in his heart.

If he didn't prove that there was a ghost in his heart, Naito Naito Nagaji would definitely not keep him on the island.

If he went, Wang Zhi didn't know if he would be able to go down the mountain alive.

After a fierce ideological struggle, Wang Zhi finally decided to go up the mountain.

Because he was desperate and had no choice.

He could not bear to continue to drift on the sea.

After some communication, the widow nodded and motioned for Wang Zhi to follow him up the mountain.

Wang Zhi took a deep breath and followed closely behind him.

Jiaomen Mountain is not high, and Wang Zhi climbed it not long before he reached the top.

A three-story bamboo building stands very conspicuously there.

"Please!"

The Japanese guard said in the Japanese language.

Wang Zhi shook his robe and strode forward.

Enter the door and go upstairs in one go.

Walking to the third floor, I vaguely saw a few people sitting there through the curtains. Among them is Naito Choji.

Wang Zhi lifted the curtain and gave Naito Naito a salute.

Naito Naito nodded and motioned for Wang Zhi to sit down.

In addition to Naito Choji in the house, Wang Zhi only knew Xin Goro.

He saw Xin Goro's angry face, but he sighed in his heart.

This can't really be a feast, right?

In any case, it is impossible to go back now.

Take things as they come.

Wang Zhi sat down, took a sip of a glass of wine.

"There is news that the official army is about to encircle and suppress Liegang, I don't know what you think?"

Naito Naito Changji got straight to the point and asked without hesitation, without the slightest intention of giving Wang Zhi face.

Although Wang Zhi was a little embarrassed, he still cleared his throat and said, "Wang thinks this must be a rumor." ”

"Oh? How so? ”

Naito said expressionlessly.

"After the official army broke through Shuangyu, although there were several major battles, they were all at sea."

Wang Zhi has the most painful experience, which is presented unreservedly at this moment.

"Wang thinks that the official army will not have any plans to attack the island in the short term."

No matter what Wang Zhi's analysis is, this is just an analysis, and there is no evidence.

Naito Naito believes or not, it is not something that Wang Zhi can decide.

After a long silence, Naito Naito sighed, "This is a gamble." ”

"Xin Goro, how long will there be enough food on the island?"

"Save some food, it's enough for half a month at most."

Speaking of this, Xin Wulang gritted his teeth and glared at Wang Zhi, as if the grain on the island was eaten empty by Wang Zhi and his men.

Although Wang Zhi felt wronged, he could only endure it.

People have to bow their heads under the eaves.

"Wang thinks maybe he can plunder merchant ships to replenish supplies."

Wang Zhi gave an option.

"Do you think there are still merchant ships?"

Shingoro sarcastically said without hesitation.

"Thanks to you, the merchant ships that come and go here are gone."

"Shingoro!"

Naito Naito glared at Shingoro before he shut up.

"Raiding merchant ships is the least risky option."

Wang Zhi swallowed a mouthful of foam and said, "If you go ashore to plunder, I am afraid that it will annoy the officers and soldiers." Even if they didn't intend to exterminate Liegang, they had to do it. ”

After a pause, Wang said directly: "As for relying on coastal merchants, it is unlikely to be able to rely on coastal merchants to help." Now that the limelight is tight, no one dares to take risks. ”

Wang Zhi's analysis was very practical, and Naito Naito nodded after thinking carefully.

"It's impossible to get a ship from the south, Xingoro, pay more attention to the north."

To the north, of course, Japan is located.

It is possible that the ships from the Wa Kingdom did not know the news of the destruction of Shuangyu, and they could take the opportunity to rob them.

It's just that robbing compatriots is somewhat unpleasant.

Shingoro clenched his fists and wanted to refute, but he couldn't say the words when they came to his lips.

"That's it."

Naito Naito Nagaji had already made up his mind, so he clapped his head and said, "Xin Goro, pass on my order, and start robbing merchant ships in the near future." ”
