The trouble is that the Dongfan base camp has not reached the level of iron plate from beginning to end.

When conquest of Nanyang, others are not waiting for death.

One of the most annoying is none other than the Woko. There is no governor of the two provinces of Zhejiang, under the leadership of the governor Yu Dayou, but more powerful than when there was a governor, the commander Qi Jiguang led the Qi army to fight in the east and west, the prestige gradually appeared, Zhejiang area, the Japanese were frightened, Xu Hai was repeatedly defeated, so he had to avoid its edge to the south.

Avoid Zhejiang, and further south, but Fujian.

Pirates, but the best at picking up soft persimmons.

It just so happened that Fujian was affected by the East, smuggling merchant ships gradually increased, and the Huiwang Mansion that had covered Fujian before poured out its nest to conquer the South Seas, and for a while, the coastal areas of Zhejiang were stable, and Fujian began to suffer, and even the merchant ships of the Huiwang Mansion were also plundered.

Xu Hai was really disappointed, he did not play a role in involving the Ming Dynasty sailors at all, but became the target of military training. On the other hand, the South-East turned out to be much stronger without a governor-general.

After the powerful Zhejiang purged the Japanese invaders, it was not only Fujian that was affected, but also a poor kingdom - Ryukyu.

The Ryukyu Kingdom, located in the south of Kyushu, north of Moss Bay, and east of the Ming Dynasty, was sandwiched between the Warring States of Japan, the Ming Empire, and the lawless Huiwang Mansion and all kinds of pirates, which has always been embarrassing.

First of all, he is a subject of the Ming Dynasty, and the attitude of the Ming Dynasty towards the subject country has been very clear - how can he love it.

Secondly, he was the first object to be sacked by the Japanese invaders, and Kyushu went to sea to be it, but after looting for a long time, he was too lazy to move again, and the southeast coast of China was richer in comparison, so he temporarily put down the Ryukyus. But now that Yu Dayou and Qi Jiguang are giving full play to their personal abilities in the absence of a governor, the Japanese have no choice but to avoid it, although Fujian is beautiful, but it is a little far away, it is better to come to Ryukyu to drink porridge first.

Third, due to the rise of the East, the goods of the Ming Dynasty and the South Seas could flow into the Ryukyus more conveniently, and then go to Japan through the Ryukyus, and the Ryukyu Kingdom also began to operate its own fleet, that is, the Ryukyus began to have oil and water.

Yang Changfan also did not expect that Ryukyu would become a victim of this series of changes.

The Ryukyu envoys were the first to go to Kyushu, hoping to buy some arms from the Huiwang Mansion, but for the Huiwang Mansion, the status of Kyushu was already equivalent to Nanjing, and the personnel were mainly pensioners. After the envoy, he came to Dongfan, but the person in charge was not there, Hu Zongxian was silent on diplomatic issues, and the Ryukyu envoy had to wait.

On the other hand, bad news came, under the joint urging of Zhejiang Ping'an and Fujian's woes, the imperial court transferred Yu Dayou as the governor of Fujian to cooperate with the governor Ruan He to suppress bandits. Regarding what is a "bandit", it is inevitable to be ambiguous, Xu Hai is a bandit, and the scattered widows are bandits, so is the Huiwangfu a bandit? Is the smuggling fleet a bandit?

This scale is almost completely controlled by Ruan Yi.

As the Japanese invaders moved south to stir up the situation, the order in Fujian's coastal areas became more and more serious, and the caravans that had happily traveled between Penghu and Fujian turned into crimes against the wind.

Portugal is in trouble, and Yang Changfan's family is obviously even more troublesome.

Let Xu Hai be a bandit, and he began to harm himself.

If Xu Hai and the other bandits are leveled, he will inevitably become the biggest and only bandit.

Although Yang Changfan was not afraid of war and was ready to fight, he had never been so eager for peace.

Presumably a long time ago, Wang Zhi also fell into such a contradiction, loyalty to the imperial court and exterminating the Japanese invaders seemed to be the only way out, but he ignored the emperor's personal feelings. Rather than hand over his career and life to the emperor, Yang Changfan would rather use war to solve the problem.

In the conference hall, Yang Changfan, Xu Wenchang, Hu Zongxian, and Wang Xian discussed for a long time and were still arguing.

Hu Zongxian still insisted on his opinion: "For the sake of today, it is the best policy to formally negotiate peace with the imperial court, determine the vassals, and protect the East China Sea." The East China Sea must first be conquered, and the East China Sea is uneven, so why conquer the four seas? ”

"Not really." Every time Xu Wenchang faced this issue, he confronted Hu Zongxian-for-tat, "If the East China Sea is flat, we will die." The Ming court only needs to strictly prohibit the sea, cut off the grain and the displaced people into the east, and gather the power of the southeast sailors to encircle and suppress, we may be able to defend for half a year, a year, or even two years, but we will definitely not be able to hold the east for a long time. If the east is lost, the whole game will be lost, so the only way to retreat to Kyushu is to collude with the Japanese invaders again. As far as my palace is concerned, there will be no more days of hegemony; As far as Ruzhen is concerned, there is no name for washing. ”

Wang Xian expressed his position unabashedly: "The military advisor is right. The old shipowner has been killed by the Dog Emperor, and there should be no more hope. We are the descendants of Yan and Huang in life and death, and we are by no means lackeys of the Ming Dynasty. ”

"The two, now is not what it used to be, the Yan Party is dead, the benevolent ministers are in power, and we have our own share of the matter of sealing the king."

"Renchen, are you such a benevolent?" Wang Xian's eyes narrowed, "Ruzhen prides herself on serving the country with loyalty and dedication to the southeast, but the gold and silver hidden in your house and the beauties you raise are more than anyone else." Just in Moss Bay Mansion, don't you really know that you have five or six concubines? ”

"The Ming court does not accumulate private wealth to dredge up, what is an official?" Hu Zongxian didn't blush, and argued unreasonably, "As for the mansion of the concubine in Dongfan, it is all rewarded by the owner of the ship, and the remuneration is above board. ”

"I'll just say one thing, if I talk too much, the owner of the ship will inevitably blame me for the private fight." Wang Xian had no intention of fighting anymore, only glared at Hu Zongxian and said, "The old shipowner, you killed it, your life was given by the young shipowner, your current glory and wealth are provided by our Huiwang Mansion, if you are in the east and your heart is in Beijing, there are bad deeds......"

"Alright, don't say any more." Yang Changfan raised his hand and scratched his head, "Don't be suspicious of employing people, don't use suspicious people, I believe in Ruzhen, don't say this kind of thing again." ”

Wang Xian finally swallowed the second half of the sentence back.

Yang Changfan continued: "As for the countermeasures with the Ming Court, I have repeatedly reaffirmed them, and I will say the last time - [Hypocrisy and Grievances, Accumulation and Thin Hair], you can flatter, you can ask for the title of king and marquis, you can deceive and betray in all ways, but never make the mistake of your father-in-law again, and land alone." Either never go ashore, or lead an army to the shore. ”

Yang Changfan saw that Hu Zongxian was going to say more, so he interrupted before he could speak: "Ruzhen, I understand you, you are not only for your own reputation, but also for the future of everyone's children and grandchildren. But don't say that in the future, our future is not in the Ming Court. Uncle Wang made it clear that we are sons and daughters of China, not lackeys of the Ming Court. ”

Hearing Yang Changfan say such heavy words, Hu Zongxian finally shut up.

At this moment, the shouts of the guards came from outside: "Maniac! Blaming me for being rude again? ”

A frantic voice came next: "Your shipowner is not even afraid of the Great Ming Naval Master and the Yiren naval artillery, and you still have to guard against me, a scholar who has no power to restrain the chicken?" (To be continued.) )
