Chapter 641 Go to Hangzhou to sit and watch the situation
Wang Zhi had a very close relationship with Ming officials, and was a model of collusion between officials and businessmen. He helped the Ming officials and soldiers to exterminate a small group of pirates, and at the same time took out a large amount of silver to make points, and what he got was the tacit approval of the Ming officials.
Taking advantage of this good time, Wang Zhi's strength continued to expand, and he finally determined the status of the sea hegemon.
As the saying goes, good times don't last long, and soon the pirates Xiao Xian, Deng Wenjun, Lin Bichuan, and Shen Men in Fujian, He Yaba in Guangdong, as well as some of Wang Zhi's subordinates, such as Xu Hai and others, began to attack the coastal capital of the Ming Dynasty with the pirates of the island country.
Wang Zhi, as the largest pirate leader, if this kind of thing happened, the officials of the Ming Dynasty naturally wanted to hold him accountable. It's a pity that Wang Zhi can neither exterminate other pirates, nor can he restrain his subordinates Xu Hai and others, so he offended the Ming Dynasty, and there was a split within his own family.
In the end, Xu Hai and others took away some of the pirates, and the general soldier Yu Dayou led the official army to attack and annihilate Wang Zhi's lair, Wang Zhi was defeated and took the island country, and then used Songpu as a stronghold to control the Daming Sea for a long time.
After several years of recuperation, Wang Zhi's godson Wang Ao and a small number of true widows occupied Shuangyu Port, although Wang Zhi was hidden behind the scenes, he was still the pirate king of the Ming Sea.
Why did Li Nan say that Wang Zhi's death was coming?
Because as a pirate king who has been rampant at sea for more than ten years, Wang Zhi has long looked down on those petty robberies, and he knows that trade between the two countries is the fastest and best way to make profits.
And now the Ming Dynasty has served as the governor of Zhejiang to supervise the imperial history, the official to the military department Zuo Shilang and the Imperial History of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, the governor of Nanzhili, Zhejiang, Fu and other military affairs, responsible for the southeast coast of the anti-Japanese Hu Zongxian, to his liking, with the island country and the Ming Dynasty Tonggong mutual market this reason, sent people to negotiate with Wang Zhi.
Throughout the ages, countless bandits who have made a lot of noise have not died in battle, but a large part of them have died in conspiracy.
A king who crisscrosses the sea, it is not good to rob, but he is delusional, and he plans to accept Zhao'an in order to expect more things, Li Nan doesn't even have to think about it, he already knows that Wang Zhi will definitely die.
Now Li Nan is hiding on Shuanglong Island to secretly accumulate strength, just to wait for the Ming Dynasty to turn his face and start a war with Wang Zhi, and then he can follow the old story of this pirate king and collect and surrender the remaining remnant pirates.
The days passed, and during this time, Wang Zhiyi's son, Wang Ao, who was stationed on Shuangyu Island, learned that the newly rising Li Nan had also sent several attacks on the many small islands occupied by Li Nan.
Li Nan, who threw a lot of money, knew his every move very well because he had bought off many pirates under Wang Ao.
Li Nan's favorite is the sixteen-character action plan of guerrilla warfare of Taizu in later generations, that is, the enemy advances and I retreat, the enemy is stationed and disturbs, the enemy is tired and I fight, and the enemy retreats and I chase!
Wang Ao's faction had few people, so Li Nan led the fleet to surround and annihilate him. If there are too many warships and pirates from the other side, then Li Nan will send zombies who are not afraid of death to drive the fireboat to intercept it, and the main fleet will fight and retreat.
Li Nan fought seven consecutive battles with Wang Ao, losing forty or fifty ships and thousands of pirates, and finally gave up continuing to attack Li Nan, acquiescing in this newly rising pirate.
The Ming court did not let Li Nanjiu wait, and with the efforts of Hu Zongxian, the governor of Zhejiang, and his staff Xu Wei, Wang Zhi finally led the fleet to Cen Port, Zhejiang, with the envoy of the island country, Shanmiao and others.
This news was too important, so Zheng Wen personally returned to Shuanglong Island by boat and reported the matter to his master Li Nan.
In this era, it seems a pity not to meet Wang Zhi, the pirate king, and it is estimated that he will not see him in the future, so Li Nan decided to go ashore to have a look.
After knowing Li Nan's decision, Xiao Qingyan shouted excitedly: "Uncle, I'll go too!" ”
"I've long heard that Daming is very prosperous, but since I came to the East, I haven't had a chance to go ashore to see it."
Angelica pretended to be pitiful, took Li Nan's hand and begged in a coquettish voice: "Dear lord, take me too." ”
Li Nan looked at these two abrasive guys, pondered for a moment and asked Zheng Wen, who was dressed as a wealthy businessman, "Is it dangerous to go ashore?" ”
Zheng Wen knew that everything he had was given by Li Nan, and his master was not only unparalleled in the world in martial arts, but also could refine terrifying zombies, so even if his status had improved a lot now, he still respected Li Nan very much.
Zheng Wen knelt down in front of Li Nan on his knees, and respectfully reported: "Back to the master, I have sprinkled gold and silver all over the shore since I came ashore to buy useful people. At present, in addition to countless eyeliner serving the master, there are also many of our people in the Daming Yamen in Jiangsu and Zhejiang. ”
"Well, you're doing a great job." Li Nan praised Zheng Wen and helped him up.
Since there was no danger here, Li Nan turned his head to look at the women around him, and said generously: "I have wronged you during this time, so I will take you to go shopping." ”
The Zhoushan Islands are not far from Hangzhou, and you only need to take a boat to the west to reach Hangzhou Bay.
One or two hundred miles by sea, it didn't take much time to get there.
The ship entered Hangzhou Bay and then slowly sailed to the shore to anchor.
After the gangplank was put down, Zheng Wen respectfully led the way from the front, Li Nan, who was wearing a white Confucian robe, led Mao Qingyan, who was dressed like a little fairy, and walked off the boat, followed by Angelica and Aoi who were covered by a veil, and two black-haired zombies wearing hats.
As the saying goes, everyone lives on the island during this time, and the most eaten fish and seafood are seafood.
This time I finally got ashore, and without Li Nan's instructions, Zheng Wen took everyone to the most famous drunken immortal building in Hangzhou.
Zheng Wen has the support of Li Nan, and now he is also a maritime merchant in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, so as soon as he entered the door, the owner of the restaurant greeted him with a smile.
"Zheng Da Shopkeeper, please come in, the Fugui Pavilion on the second floor is for you to keep." Who are these people? ”
Zheng Wen said arrogantly: "Today I want to entertain a few distinguished guests, you can serve the good wine and food here, understand?" ”
"Yes, yes, yes!" Seeing Zheng Wen's respectful appearance to these faceless guests, the restaurant owner also guessed that these people were from good backgrounds, so he hurriedly rushed into the back kitchen to get up.
Money is easy to do, and soon dozens of various dishes served in fine porcelain appeared on the huge round table.
When the three girls saw these delicacies and smelled the tempting aroma of the vegetables, they immediately looked at Li Nan together.
Seeing them like this, Li Nan couldn't help but smile and said, "Don't be stunned, let's eat." ”
With Li Nan's permission, these three beauties of different ages all put down their ladylike demeanor and used chopsticks to deal with the delicious delicacies on the table.
Xiao Qingyan and Aoi are both Orientals, and there is no obstacle to using chopsticks, but Angelica, who can only use knives and forks, can see and smell, but can't eat, and suddenly sweat urgently.
"Hahaha." Looking at the embarrassed Angelica, Li Nan laughed and put a few jade-white and tender shrimp on the plate in front of her.
"This dish is a famous dish in Hangzhou, because this place is rich in famous tea, so it is also the original of Hangzhou to cook with tea leaves. This 'Longjing shrimp' is cooked with fresh river shrimp and Longjing new tea before and after the Qingming Festival, you can try it. ”
"Try this again." Li Nan picked up a piece of thin-skinned pork strips with a bright red color, "This Dongpo meat tastes mellow and juicy, crispy but not greasy, it is definitely worth a try......
In fact, there is no need for Li Nan to introduce it, when Angelica was in Spain, she only ate roast lamb shank, risotto and other things, when did she taste Chinese food that can be called a work of art?
Whether it is a pot of dried bamboo shoots, egg yolk and blue crab, straw duck, or honey sauce fire recipe, West Lake vinegar fish, crab juice osmanthus fish, etc., Angelica is not refused, and every time she eats a dish, she will be stunned.
Aoi is from an island country, and her eating appearance is quite elegant, but Xiao Qingyan and Angelica just don't want to eat, seeing this situation, Li Nan shook his head helplessly, and said to Zheng Wen: "Go and ask for a few pots of tea, let them eat in a while." ”
More than 30 famous dishes in Hangzhou, less than half a cup of tea all into the stomach of everyone, after the wine and food are full, everyone drinks the fragrant rain before the Longjing,
