Wang Zhi's words are very clear, his favor is exchanged for trade routes, think about it, and know that pirates are not good men and women, what kind of friendship can everyone have? Only the interest reversal is true, Wang Zhi took a trade route in exchange for two years of stability, and the loss is not small, but as long as Zhao'an succeeds, it is still quite worthwhile. The lost routes, the imperial court's hundreds of thousands of guan a year have almost made up, and the northern route has reached Penghu in the Eastern Domain and then to the Wa Kingdom, and the area controlled by Wang Zhi has expanded a little, and the loss will not be too great.

For Pu Xingfeng and the others, it is considered to be an important route for nothing, you must know that the routes of various pirates have been established after countless battles, and others can exchange their lives for their lives.

Although Wang Zhi is old, the prestige established by his decades of pirate career is not false, and the subordinates of 14,500 people are not false.

It is difficult to win a war at sea, unlike on land, where the enemy's main force is defeated in a first battle, and there is no need to fight again, and a battle at sea, a war may cause the opponent to lose several warships and hundreds or thousands of personnel, which is considered a big victory. But then it is also very likely that the enemy will attack and counterattack.

It is not uncommon for several major forces to fight at sea for several years, and it would be best if they could compromise and reach an agreement.

But Xu Zixian does not have this kind of advantage to take advantage of, his identity is destined not to compromise with pirates, in the past, there were strong sailors and soldiers in the imperial court, and the strength of the Great Wei Forbidden Army was very strong, most of the enemies who came to attack did not end well, and the pirates dared to harass along the border at most, and ran away after grabbing something.

By the time Chen Yutai took root, the Fujian sailors became weaker and weaker, and the ambitions of the pirates were of course getting stronger and stronger.

If Xu Zixian really pulls out the nail of Chen Yutai, the next thing he will face is the attack of hundreds of thousands of brave pirates, which is not an ordinary trivial matter, and if he doesn't get half of the Fujian Road, he will have to pay for it.

This is also the real reason why Chen Yutai has been entrenched in Qizhou with 2,000 people, whether it is King Zhao or Lin Douyao, they can't make up their minds, even if the two mansions and the Son of Heaven don't dare to exchange half of the Fujian Road for 2,000 pirates, it's really a loss.

This is also the consequence of the Son of Heaven's reluctance to rebuild the water division, and the troops are insufficient, of course, they can only be trapped and humiliated.

"The kid can save it." Xu Zixian knew that half of Wang Zhi's reason was that he was afraid that he would implicate his old man by stabbing a big basket in Fuzhou, but after all, he was half kind of him, and he still had to thank him.

"In coastal areas, if you want to do things, you must first have a sailor." Wang Zhi smiled and said: "I know that you want to set up a water camp again, but you can't do it without a boat, you also have to have capable sailors, within ten years, you can achieve the current scale of the Fuzhou Naval Division, even if it is quite good." ”

This is to remind Xu Zi not to be too ambitious, the establishment of the water division and the land division are two different things, the soldiers must be able to jump on the water to fight, and operate on the turbulent waves of the sea. Get artillery, bed crossbows, and at the same time have to shoot arrows on the sea, fight, and have to withstand big waves, or else people rush over and use knives, but on the other hand, they vomit non-stop, what else is this fighting?

In addition to the elite sailors, it is also very rare to have an ocean-going captain who can predict the wind and waves, avoid the route, know when to replenish the fresh water, and when to set sail, of course, there must be a strong sailor who dares to drive the ship into the enemy ship, and dare to jump into the sea with a knife in his mouth to fight the enemy sailors who come to destroy the bottom of the ship at the bottom of the sea.

You also have to know the waterways, customs, and likes and dislikes of local strongmen, these things are enough to be compiled into a thick book, and one may not be able to be written!

Wang Zhi reminded Xu Zixian that in addition to the Qishan pirates, there was still a matter of raising horses in the Eastern Domain, and raising horses on the big island would inevitably attract the attention of various pirates.

If you keep making small fights, there may not be any conflicts, but once horse breeding on the East Domain really becomes a scale, there may not be fewer people who make up their minds.

A high-grade war horse, a hundred yuan is also common, as long as it is a qualified war horse, the lowest price will not be less than fifty or sixty yuan.

In the Ming Dynasty, a high-grade war horse is more than 100 taels, and ordinary war horses have to be dozens of taels, even if a large number of war horses pour in after the exchange of markets with me, a horse also has to be dozens of taels of silver, war horses are not ordinary miscellaneous horses, some horses can pull carts, Europeans can be sturdy miscellaneous horses to plough the land, and here in China, horses are quite precious creatures, and the thin ones are also used as rides, and the price is of course quite expensive.

If a large number of war horses are really raised on the island, it is not impossible for several pirates to join forces to do a vote.

If it is on land, pirates dare to come to rob horses, and it is not difficult for the Great Wei court to mobilize dozens of troops, but on the big island hanging overseas, the Great Wei has more than enough heart and strength, and it is really robbed, it will become a big joke.

"If the old man is short of horses in the future, he will have to ask Mingda for help......"

The power of pirates is not limited to the sea, Wang Zhi also has a small territory in the Wa country, and there are thousands of soldiers stationed, the best way to fight the Wa is cavalry raids, Wang Zhi said that the need for war horses is not a joke.

Xu Zixian smiled: "This is naturally wrapped around me." ”

"Speaking of the noble clan, I have seen a lot of young officials and old husbands." Wang Zhi finally sighed with emotion: "It is rare to dare to think and do like Mingda, although there are many talented people in Dawei, I think that after ten years, Mingda will really make a career." ”

"Borrow the general's good words." Xu Zixian got up with a smile to say goodbye, and everyone got up one after another and sent him out of the door of the building.

Xu Zixian didn't gain much from this trip, but he gained Wang Zhi's friendship, and Deng Wenjun and others obviously released goodwill, which can be regarded as laying a relatively solid foundation.

Each other understands that Jingshi Fengyun has done his best, and it can't be said who owes whom, and after Xu Zixian arrives in the Eastern Domain, whether the two sides can cooperate depends on how Xu Zixian's development is discussed, Wang Zhi has to consider his entire power, although his personal favor of Xu Zixian is also important, but it can't withstand the practical interests.

In other words, if Xu Zixian had no ability to resist, and tossed a large number of high-quality good horses in the Eastern Domain, when the five thieves joined forces to make a vote, Wang Zhi would not dare to guarantee that the East China Sea would not share this cup.

Righteous friendship this thing, it depends on how big the benefits of reality are, when the benefits are big enough, righteous friendship can only be put aside, Wang Zhi did not say it explicitly, he believed that Xu Zixian would understand, and Wang Zhi also knew that Xu Zixian did understand.

……

"Master Hou, the edict has come down."

Chen Zuocai's face was excited, Chen Daojian, Gao Shilai, Tian Heng and others all went out, Fang Shaoqun and Liu Yi were both light and light, this Wen Yiwu, and the wild and profligate temper were very similar.

Completely consistent with what Xu Xiashang revealed in advance, the imperial court awarded the new Kewu champion, the Great Wei Sect, and Xu Zixian, the Marquis of Nan'an, who also knew Qizhou, concurrently served as the commander of Qizhou Shangzhai, the defense envoy of Qizhou, and the envoy of the Nan'an regiment to train and defend the capture.

This means that in addition to retaining the original territory of the regimental training and capturing envoys, Xu Zixian also has the territory of Qizhou, which is equivalent to an extra piece of power bargaining chips.

If you can go further, it will be better to know Qizhou, Han Zhong seems to have this intention, but he was stopped by Lao Xiangguo, and Han Zhong also pushed the boat down the river and no longer insisted.

After all, the twenty-year-old marquis, the champion of martial arts, and the official position directly granted to Zhijun Prefecture is really a bit too appalling.

Tongzhi Qizhou, Qizhou is an inferior military state under the Fuzhou Prefecture, and the movement is not too big, and the official rank is not too high from the defense of the five products.

In addition, Xu Zixian's title is still the Marquis of Nan'an, and the number of sealed households has increased to 10,000 in name, and 6,000 households in real food have been sealed to reward him for his military exploits in beheading more than 1,000 levels in Nan'an.

The most important military exploits of this dynasty, there is no doubt about this award, and no one can say anything.

In addition, Xu Zixian was awarded the general of the left guard, and Wang Zhi was in the same column, and the pillar country was awarded, and the rank of the scattered officials was matched with the Marquis of Nan'an.

Of course, Xu Zixian did not have a California pastor or a festival envoy, this is a decent treatment granted by the imperial court to retired ministers who are old and virtuous, or meritorious ministers, and Xu Zixian's merits are not so preferential.

In addition, there is a letter to the hall, Xu Zi first went to the political affairs of the horse, and the Son of Heaven sent the political affairs hall to discuss, after the discussion, in addition to giving Xu Zixian the Fujian Road to promote the envoy of the Ma Zheng Division, it is considered to have handed over the Ma Zheng matter of the entire Fujian Road to this Nan'an Hou.

Nan'an regiment practiced guarding and capture, Qizhou defense envoy, Zhishangzhai commanded, Tongzhi Qizhou, Ma Zheng promoted envoy, Zhu Guo, Zuo Wei general, Nan'an Hou......

Xu Zixian's title has become extremely lengthy, which also shows that he occupies an increasingly important weight in Fuzhou's political map.

Chen Zuocai was the big butler who went north this time, and said happily at the moment: "There are also official families who give internal color." Ten ingots of gold, one hundred and fifty ingots of silver, twenty pieces of silk, twenty pieces of silk, one hundred bundles of rice paper, and so on. ”

That is to say, the Son of Heaven gave fifty taels of gold, one hundred taels of silver, plus various things worth about one hundred taels, which was not too stingy or too generous for the Son of Heaven.

"It's hard to go north." Xu Zixian said to everyone: "Leave the paper, ink, pen, inkstone, etc., I will take it back to Fuzhou and give it away, you just get one person and one ingot, divide it evenly, and you can not get a silk or silk if you can't get it." ”

Everyone is thunderous, these items are used in the imperial treasury to make the royal logo, of course everyone will not take it to use, but take it back to Fuzhou to show off, its added value is far greater than the actual value, of course, it is worth making everyone happy.

"There's another one." Chen Zuocai was happy and reminded Xu Zixian: "The 6,000 official households given to the Nan'an Hou Mansion were given to the military and civilians of Sanzhai on the Eastern Domain, and the officials of the Political Affairs Hall reminded that the number of households on the big island is only more than 3,000 now, all of which are allocated to the Nan'an Hou Mansion, and there are a few shortages. ”

"I'll just say that the court is not so generous." Zhang Huchen said on the side: "Everyone knows that the people on the Eastern Domain Island are poor and poor, and what can 3,000 households give to the Hou Mansion?" I'm afraid that even the 1,000 households in Fuzhou are not as good, and the actual food seals of these 6,000 households should be discounted in half. ”

Many generals expressed their dissatisfaction, but Fang Shaoqun smiled on the side and said, "Congratulations to the prince." ”

"Mr. Fang told me to make a statement." Xu Zixian said: "I don't know where the joy comes from? ”

"Mingda wants to spread something, wouldn't the Eastern Domain be a good place?" Fang Shaoqun said with a smile: "Planting cotton, raising horses, it is best to build a port wharf and build a shipyard, everything is under control." ”

This guy is really amazing......

Xu Zixian was taken aback, this surnamed Fang's mind is too smart, he is simply wise and close to the demon!
