Silva's eyes narrowed into slits and he didn't speak for a long time.

Of course, he can give it to Ning Xiu, anyway, it's useless for him to keep it. But this black pig mountain island... He wants it too!

I think that when they crossed the ocean and came to the East, they were only allowed to lease in the trenches, although they had a place to stay, but they did not have their own real territory.

After all, the trench is leased, or owned by the Ming Dynasty.

Now that he has taken the opportunity to conquer the pirates, Silva naturally wants to use it as a base for development.

But Ning Xiu put forward the idea of wanting to pass through this island...

Of course, Silva understood what Ning Xiu was thinking, this person wanted to use this place as a transit point for the southern sea.

Or rather, a private port!

A trip to Nanyang can earn at least 100,000 taels, which can be described as a lot of income.

But if you don't have your own port, you will be controlled by others everywhere, and there will be little profit from exploitation.

Although Silva really wanted to sell Ning Xiu to save face, he didn't want to spit out the fat on his lips, and said with a sad face: "Lord Ning, the governor of this island has made great efforts, and it is a little inappropriate for Lord Ning to take over this island like this, right?" ”

He was suggesting that Ning Xiu should not forget who had laid down this island. Without his fleet, Ning Xiu is afraid that he will not even be able to set foot on Wuzhu Mountain Island!

Ning Xiu smiled and said, "Your Excellency the Governor's words are wrong. Ning only knew that Wuzhushan Island was my Daming Island, an inseparable part of my Daming territory, and it was impossible for any foreign race to occupy it without permission. ”

Hiss! Silva gasped.

The righteousness that Ning Xiu said was awe-inspiring, but he couldn't refute it yet.

Yes, this Wuzhushan Island is, of course, the island of the Ming Dynasty, and even the trench they leased is also the Ming Dynasty.

Ning Xiu said this to warn him that everything that the Franc Machine Man obtained today depends on Da Ming!

Morally speaking, Ning Xiu did have the upper hand. But in terms of strength, Silva is the dominant side.

At the moment, both sides are interested in Wuzhushan Island, and neither wants to give in...

"Maybe there's a possibility of cooperation?"

Silva suddenly said, "Lord Ning and a certain person each take a step. ”

Ning Xiu shook his head and said, "It seems that the Governor still doesn't understand what this official means, and this official wants to run this island alone. ”

Silva was like a slap in the face, and his face was hot.

He held back his anger and said, "Doesn't Lord Ning think it's too much to do this? ”

Ning Xiu smiled: "Excessive? This black pig mountain island was stolen by the pirates and is now recovered, and it should be governed by Ming officials. ”

Silva was choked and speechless, you reason with him, and he is in a position of strength with you. You put your strength with him, and he reasoned with you...

"Koning-sama, even if he runs this island, he doesn't have enough troops to defend it!"

Silva used a killer move, hitting the nail on the head and pointing out Ning Xiu's weakness.

Not to mention the large number of pirates, it is the remnants of Li Dan's escape, as long as one of them is killed, Ning Xiu will definitely not be able to hold it, and he has to give up Wuzhushan Island.

Of course, Silva knew that the dozen or so veterans of the Qi Family Army were very good, far better than his mercenaries. But the remaining officers and soldiers of the inspection department and the county government officials are too far behind.

The war is a short board!

Silva thinks that Ning Xiu will eventually talk to him about cooperation. As long as he can cooperate, it is easy to say, and he doesn't want to swallow the profit alone.

To Silva's surprise, the corners of Ning Xiu's mouth rose: "This is not bothered by the governor." ”

Silva's face turned green with anger, but he couldn't directly turn his face with Ning Xiu. After all, Ning Xiu is the county order of Xiangshan County, and the trench itself is within the territory of Xiangshan County, if Ning Xiu is offended, there will be problems in transporting sea trade goods from the trench to the belly of the Ming Dynasty.

Besides, he still gained a lot from this crackdown, and according to his preliminary statistics, there were at least hundreds of thousands of taels. These are all things that Li Dan has accumulated by looting in the past few years, and Ning Xiu didn't want a penny, and gave them all to Silva.

But after all, Silva is still very unhappy about the loss of a money channel and territory.

He wanted to see Ning Xiu's jokes now, and he wanted to see his embarrassed scene after the Haikou attacked.

Silva flicked his sleeves and turned to leave, heading to oversee the extermination of the remnants.

He didn't think about Ning Xiu, but wanted to pry out the location of the buried treasure from these people. Cunning rabbit three caves, Silva didn't believe that Li Dan would hide all the money in the main village, and a considerable part of it must be buried in the ground.

Since he couldn't run this island, it was naturally impossible for the silver money to be left to Ning Xiu. Silva had already made up his mind that he would dig three feet into the ground and dig up all the treasure.

Ning Xiu was naturally happy to do the same, after all, it was a threat to have a few remnants on the island.

After a long time, the remaining dozen remnants were caught, and after some interrogation, there was no information about the buried treasure, and Silva ordered them all to be executed in a fit of rage, and then returned to the trench by boat.

Ning Xiu and the others naturally also took a boat to return.

After returning to the trench, he did not stay long, and returned directly to Xiangshan County.

After entering the study room of the county government, Ning Xiu called Qi Wen to his side alone and said, "How are you doing?" ”

Qi Wen hugged his fists and said: "Lord Hui, my subordinates have done it!" ”

"Good!"

Ning Xiuzhi is a great joy.

It turned out that he ordered Qi Wen to recruit people to train the new army more than ten days ago. Of course, he was a local civilian official and could not be in charge of the army, and the new army had to change its name, so it was called a regiment to train village soldiers.

This is in line with the rules, and the county order can also recruit and train township soldiers, after all, it is necessary to guard against bandits.

In fact, Ning Xiu planned to train them according to the standards of the Qi family's army.

At first, Ning Xiu had this idea just to prevent the attack of the pirates, but now he had the idea of sending the new army to Wuzhushan Island.

First, Wuzhushan Island is not far from Xiangshan County, which is suitable for transporting personnel. Second, he really desperately needs a port of his own. Otherwise, he will always borrow from the trench and be subject to others.

Ning Xiu was ready to wait for the development of Wuzhushan Island to slowly dilute the role of the trench.

As for going to sea, you can go from the mouth of the Pearl River. Although it cannot be used as a port for large ships to dock for a long time, it is still possible to use small boats to sail and stop for a short time.

Ning Xiu can park the big ship on Wuzhushan Island, and unloading and loading are on this island. The goods are then transported to shore in small boats. If the whole process is tighter, it will not be detected.

It doesn't matter if it is discovered, in case the imperial court asks, it can be said that it is to inspect the sea conditions and prevent the pirates.

After all, the good news of the suppression of the Kou is reported, and the name of Wuzhushan Island will definitely appear.

The boat went to sea in the name of guarding against pirates, so that Ning Xiu did not have to worry about the impeachment of the imperial history, and could go to Nanyang to do business openly.

"The soldiers recruited a total of 1,500 people, all of whom were local miners, power sticks, wives and children. Three ships were bought, two were large fortune boats, and one was a small fortune boat! ”
