Although Wang Jianzhi's head and face are quite neat, the clothes on his body are quite wrinkled, obviously he just arrived in the capital, and he didn't even change his clothes, so he came directly to the door, so I am afraid that the news he brought will also be ......, "Wang Lai, you go to pass on the old man's order, so that people are not allowed to approach the study, you personally guard, understand?" Wang Wei turned his head and ordered. 【】

"Yes, sir." The butler obeyed, and after a few muffled shouts, the outside of the study became even quieter.

"Now the thieves in the capital are rampant, even if the old man is a cabinet minister and is in his own mansion, he has to be cautious everywhere." Turning around, Wang Wei first let out a long sigh, which was an explanation of his suitable behavior, and then asked Wang Jianzhi: "Ming Zhong, what is the important thing that requires you to run around like this?" ”

"The same people in the capital are deeply poisoned, and the sacrifice is very heavy, even in Nanjing, the lower officials often hear about it, and feel the same way, Wang Ge Lao and your colleagues have paid too much for the community, and the people of the world worship on behalf of the world." Wang Jianzhi's eyes were red, and he was very emotional to represent the people of the world.

"Eh, Ming Zhong is the reason for this, no matter how bitter the old man is, how can he compare to Xuanzhi, but it's a pity that we can't do it, knowing that he is in prison, and even more so that he is tortured, but he can't save him, really, really...... Alas! Wang Wei hurriedly thanked him, and when he mentioned Hong Zhong again, his eyes were also red.

"What does it have to do with the old Wang Ge, it is all the rampant thieves and the faint king, so there will be such a tragic thing in the world, and it is precisely for this reason that the lower officials came." Wang Jianzhi's tone was very excited, and when he came to the back, his words were even more amazing, and Wang Wei and Liang Chu were taken aback.

"Ming Zhong, this is the capital, be cautious, be cautious!" Liang Chu got up and persuaded, and as he spoke, he glanced out the door.

After all, in his own territory, Wang Wei was much more calm, he sat on the main seat, and asked unhurriedly: "But Xie Yuqiao has a plan again?" ”

"Exactly." Wang Jianzhi nodded, and said in a sad tone: "When the Liaodong Incident was said, the lower officials and the colleagues in Jiangnan were also heartbroken, but good and evil are not mutually exclusive, and the heart of hoeing and annihilation is still unsettled. ”

"Oh?" Wang Wei, Liang Chu's spirits are all uplifted, Wang Jianzhi has a reputation for hard work, and he is aware of Xie Hong's demons, so he can still say it so confidently, there is a strategy for hoeing and annihilating, it must be worth looking forward to.

"That's countering violence with violence." Wang Jianzhi said.

"This is Xie Yuqiao's idea?" Wang Wei almost didn't jump up, countering violence with violence? Xie Qian's suffering last year hasn't been enough? 100,000 against 4,000 have lost, where are the soldiers and horses now?

You must know that counting the expanded Guards, there are now 100,000 troops in the capital alone, plus the three border towns...... Even if a certain vassal king is set up to raise an army, and then the gentry of the world respond in groups, all of them are united, I am afraid that the victory or defeat is unknown, and then counting the thoughts of the scholars, they know the result without fighting.

Could it be that Xie Yuqiao is really crazy?

"This is the consensus of Jiangnan colleagues, and it has also been approved by Xie Gelao." Wang Jianzhi shook his head.

That is, the Jiangnan colleagues are crazy, those people in Nanjing are not idle, right, or do they think too highly of themselves, thinking that these people in the center are too wasteful, which has led to the current situation in the capital?

Liang Chu wanted to sneer, but in the end, he still respected his identity and barely held back, just looked at Wang Jianzhi with a sneer, and his expression was quite unkind.

Wang Wei was still calm, but his expression was also a little confused, obviously not appreciating the resolution of his colleagues in Jiangnan, and even ashamed of their stupidity.

However, the next moment, with Wang Jianzhi's further explanation, Prince Liang's expression became soothed, and Wang Wei also showed a thoughtful expression on his face.

"Although there are many perverse actions today, most of them are because of Xie Hong's bewitchment, and the crux is still Xie Hong. The reason why the situation has changed so suddenly this year that it is difficult to control it is because of his activity at sea, so we all believe that we should first restrain him on the sea route, and then the situation will suddenly become clearer. ”

"Could it be ......" Wang Jianzhi's words coincided with what Wang Weiping was thinking, and he slowly asked: "Does Ming Zhong mean to concentrate all the ships and fight with the fleet of Xie Hong's false name of the Son of Heaven?" ”

"Ge Lao is wise, that's exactly the case."

"What are the details, can you be sure of victory?" Liang Chu asked.

"The soldiers are in danger, who can guarantee victory? All we can do is to plan in many ways and use all the forces we can to increase our chances of victory. Wang Jianzhi shook his head slowly, and suddenly changed his words and said, "This is also the reason why Xia Guan strongly invited Lord Liang to come here." ”

"Old man?" Liang Chu was stunned for a moment, and hesitated: "What Ming Zhong means is ......"

Wang Jian said word by word: "Yes, Guangdong sailor." ”

The forbidden sea, someone must be inspected, not to mention that there are many pirates in the South China Sea, so even if the sea has been banned for hundreds of years, Guangdong still retains a sailor, and the commander of this sailor is surnamed Liang, who is the local Liang family, that is, the relative of Liang Chu.

How smart Liang Chu is, he knows the meaning when he hears the strings, and he doesn't need Wang Jianzhi to explain more, he bowed his head slightly, and said: "Regarding the Jiangshan Sheji, the Liang family is duty-bound, but Ming Zhong, you should also know that the ships of that sailor division are dilapidated, and Hugh said that compared with the warships built by the thieves, even if they are compared with the ships of the fellow Taoists in Jiangnan, they cannot be compared......"

"It's okay, the ship is easy to say, and what you want is the general in the sailor." Wang Jianzhi didn't mention the Liang family's rather large fleet, but just categorically agreed and took over the equipment problem in one go.

Although the docks in Jiangnan are very hidden, if all the families work together and start work with all their might, it will not be a problem to rush to produce hundreds of ships within the year.

"In this case, if Liang pushes it back, he will really be ashamed of the sage's education." Liang Chu has also been fighting on the front line of hoeing and annihilation, and was stimulated by the belief of the Jiangnan people, he immediately promised with indignation: "Liang immediately repairs a letter and returns to Guangdong, and transfers the sailor to Jiangnan as soon as possible." ”

"Lord Liang is really righteous." Wang Jianzhi was overjoyed, and then threw out a bombshell news, "In addition to the fleets of various families in the south of the Yangtze River, Jianzhi also sent people to Penghu and Zhoushan, and contacted a number of pirates, including the Xu brothers. ”

"Brother Xu?" The two brothers were originally active in the South China Sea, and Liang Chu had also heard about it, and he hesitated a little when he thought of acting with pirates, for fear of tarnishing his family's reputation.

Wang Jianzhi said categorically: "Pavilion Elder, Lord Liang can rest assured, the alliance with the pirates was originally Jianzhi's suggestion, and coming forward to appease them is also the face of the lower officials, even if there is disagreement in the future, the stigma will be borne by the lower officials, and it will not affect the reputation of other colleagues." Therefore, the two of you just have to rest assured. ”

"Where did Ming Zhong say, this is also for the great cause of hoeing and annihilating, how can there be any stigma? What's more, fighting poison with poison, this plan is very good, those pirates are also the people of the Ming Dynasty, they have not been educated by the saints, and it is not strange that they have gone astray, and this time they will be given a chance to make meritorious contributions and atone for their sins, which can be called a great benevolent act. Wang Wei waved his hand, setting the tone for the matter of appeasing the pirates.

"Wang Ge is right, but Liang thinks badly." Liang Chu also reacted, using pirates to fight Annihilation, this is a sure-fire business, anyway, whoever dies doesn't have to feel distressed, it's more cost-effective than sending a sailor, and what you pay is just an empty name.

"Thank you, Elder." Wang Jianzhi is not stunned, since Wang Wei let go, he also climbed the pole, "The lower officials have trespassed, and they have promised some martial arts to go out, and the biggest one is the ...... that was promised to the Xu brothers."

A good person does it to the end, Wang Wei smiled disapprerovingly, and then asked: "It is inevitable that things will be in a hurry, what official position did Ming Zhong promise to give to the Xu brothers?" ”

“…… Chief Military Officer of Fujian. Wang Jianzhi hesitated for a moment before saying it, obviously he himself felt that things were not very reliable.

"It doesn't hurt to follow the power, it doesn't hurt." After a moment of silence, Wang Wei's gentle laughter rang out again, "These pirates have been fighting at sea all year round, and their naval combat strength should be very good, although the official position promised is a little bigger, but the lesser of two evils, as long as they can achieve great things, it doesn't hurt." ”

"The elder of the pavilion is generous, if the Xu brothers know, they will be grateful, and they will immediately change their faces, but the lower officials are incompetent, but they have not been able to completely wake up, but on the contrary, they have a strange thing to live in, trying to meet the source of both sides."

Wang Jianzhi sighed and said: "Now, although those two brothers have moved their hearts and also transferred the fleet from Penghu to the left side of the Ryukyus, it can be seen that they may not have the idea of attacking Fujiang Island, but may contact that side, maybe ......."

"Humph!"

Wang Wei was finally angry, he, the elder, had given up so many steps, those pirates were still so ignorant, although it was Wang Jianzhi who negotiated, but he still felt that he had lost face, he snorted coldly, and he said in a deep voice: "Let them go, Ming Zhong doesn't need to worry too much." ”

"What do you say?" Wang Jianzhi said in surprise.

"The folk rumor is that Xie Hong is benevolent and generous, but in the old man's opinion, it is just a false benevolence and false righteousness to deceive the foolish man and the foolish woman, and the thief is far from being as generous as the legend, which can be seen from his attitude towards the party annihilation." Brushing his beard, Wang Wei said hatefully:

He deliberately oppressed the scholars, so he designed in many ways in order to reduce the status of the scholars. What's ridiculous is that he even included those unscrupulous annihilators, hum, those people first tarnished their reputations, and then they didn't get paid, if it weren't for the thieves being too strong, I'm afraid the situation in the capital would have turned over now. ”

Wang Wei snorted coldly: "Uncle Hou, Ming Zhong, what can those pirates get from such a person?" A bigger official position than the Fujian General Officer? Or is it more wealth than it is now? Eventually, those people will abandon the darkness and turn to the light. ”

"Pavilion Elder Gaojian." Liang Chu clapped his hands and smiled.

Xie Hong behaves strangely and always seems very generous to ordinary people, but he is very stingy with the ministers in the court, and he has a small family spirit that can't distinguish between priorities and priorities. And he acted impulsively, those pirates were not good people, and it was indeed difficult for them to reap greater benefits from Xie Hong.

"If that's the case, then the Xu brothers' actions are meritorious." Wang Jianzhi smiled even brighter.

"What do you mean by that?" Liang Chuqi said.

"At the right time, the fleet of the Xu brothers should have arrived near the Ryukyus, and it is not known that they have even made contact with Fukue Island. If the negotiation between the two sides fails, Xie Hong will have to mobilize heavy troops to defend Fukue Island, and even attack in the direction of the Ryukyus with all his might, which is really beneficial to our plan. ”

"Ming Zhong, could it be that the plan of the colleagues in Jiangnan is not to attack Fujiang Island and reopen the route, but to ......" Liang Chu wondered.

"Exactly, if he attacks Fujiang Island, even if he wins, it will not hurt Xie Hong's roots, his ship is fast, small in size, and it must be relatively easy to make, even if he is defeated for a while, he may come back at any time, and it will become more and more difficult to control when he comes again, not a long-term solution. Therefore, it is necessary to attack the root of it in order to make him collapse. ”

Wang Jianzhi took out a roll of maps from the sleeve of his robe, spread it out on the table, poked it vigorously somewhere on it, and said proudly: "Lushun!" It is said that the thief invested a lot of manpower and material resources in Lushun, the workshop stretched for several miles, and every time the construction started, the movement could be heard more than ten miles away, and the port and dock were all here, if he could conquer it in one fell swoop, then he would have no power to return to heaven. ”

"Divert the tiger from the mountain, and then give a thunderous blow, it's really a good plan." Liang Chu's case was amazing.

"The only thing to worry about is that the flywheel battleship, the ship and the weapons on it are extremely strange, even if the number is far exceeded, it is difficult to guarantee victory......" This plan has been repeatedly scrutinized in Jiangnan, Wang Jianzhi naturally will not be as excited as Prince Liang, he still has a lot of concerns.

"It's not necessarily that there is no way to solve this problem." Wang Wei said suddenly.

"Ge Lao means ......"

"Lucky to invite heaven, that thief is ...... in North Korea" The words of Kim's sentence were relayed again.

"Can you really buy it?" Liang Chu's eyes widened, and his face was incredulous, "It can't be the thief's plan, right?" Perhaps he manipulated the ship, and then coerced North Korea to send envoys to lure us into a trap. ”

"It's okay." Wang Jianyi waved his hand and said hesitantly: "Whether it is true or false, you will know it at a check, although the flywheel battleship is strange, it is not out of the Central Plains, it is just a modified vehicle and ship." Jiangnan people are outstanding and there are many famous craftsmen, as long as you can get a sample, you can get a glimpse of the inner mystery, what is the difficulty of imitation? ”

"That's the reason, then the Korean envoy is in the Honglu Pavilion, waiting for the old man and Zhou Shangshu to mention this matter again, and then arrange for Ming Zhong to meet with him as soon as possible to discuss the purchase of ships."

After thinking about it, Wang Wei added: "In order to prevent long nights and dreams, the Jiangnan side cannot relax, we should quickly build ships, train sailors, and when the time comes, we will immediately go north with the momentum of thunder and take Lushun directly!" ”
