Shen Mo has been sending Shun Zhigong to the other side of Taihu Lake. Tang Hezheng, who was wearing a sackcloth filial piety robe, said: "Please ask my senior brother to write a memorial for my father." Tang Shunzhi's aura is so powerful, even if he dies for a few days, the generous and elegant free and easy aura still makes them unable to extricate themselves, but the deceased has passed away, and the life of the living has to go on, and there must always be an end, to say goodbye to life and death.

At that time, the rainy moon, the rain was endless, the lake was surging, the turbid waves were rolling, its momentum was like a thousand horses galloping, its sound was like a tiger roaring and thundering, silent white clothes were better than snow, and the long hair was scattered and stood on the rock, Tang Hezheng stood behind him with a spirit flag, in front of him was the incense table, and then on the big boat in the distance, Tang Shunzhi's coffin was quietly parked.

Silently set up a sacrifice in front of the spirit, poured three cups of wine on the ground, kowtowed to Tang Shunzhi three times, and read the sacrifice in a long voice: "Woo Hu Wu Shi, unfortunately died early!" Repair the old days, the king's words are not hurt, my heart is really painful, I drink a little, the first teacher has a spirit, enjoy my steaming taste! Heaven and earth have affection, listen to me hang my teacher! ”

"Woohoo! My teacher is famous, less sensitive and learned, sixteen increase in the number of students, twenty-two in the middle of the Yuan, the year of the return of tribute yuan, the Golden Palace plays the legend, with a weak crown of the young, accounting for the top of the gold list! The abundance of the king is sprinkled, and the arrogance of leisure makes our generation fascinated! ”

"However, at that time, the power was annihilated, the night was small and stood in the court, the righteous people avoided the wilderness, my teacher's surname was Gaojie, Ning Mingzhu threw sand, did not want to be with the light and dust, and returned to his hometown with a crown, lived in the countryside, forgot about things and cultivated ascetics, but the painstaking work of good work, made all kinds of mysteries, and watched all things in one; It is more elegant, outstanding, thunder and thunder without being shocked, and Mount Tai is shaking but not kicking! Hold empty fists, resist thousands of horses without shaking, follow water and fire, enter the golden stone without two! ”

"That's why my teacher is in astronomy and geography, scriptures and history, and medicine and arithmetic! I don't know the meditation of the Buddha, the silence of the old family, and the knack of the health family! Therefore, one of my teachers sighed, it is not the treasure that exists. And those who have one branch and one leaf are still enough to be famous and glorious in the world! ”

"In the future, those who have been effective by my teacher will be as determined by my teacher - I want to practice hard in the mountains for 16 years, not fan in summer and not furnace in winter, and forget to eat and forget to sleep at night. Don't eat meat for years, don't make double mattresses on the bed, work hard, and learn wholeheartedly! If one can be an elder, although the mediocre is a lowly servant, he will also sail thousands of miles to find each other! If there are people who come and go, although the public secretary and distinguished guests come, they will avoid the door and avoid it. Everyone in the world says, my master admires the way of Lao Zhuang, the traces of the practitioners, and the outside of things, but seeks to hear the way of the sages! ”

"My teacher tasted it, if it is not mixed for three years. Will be one to make it too! Wow, this ambition is difficult to show, because of the disaster of the Japanese people, the southeast is in ruins, my teacher cultivates the way of heaven, and upholds the hearts of the people, how can I turn a blind eye? Fang Yin temple recommended successively, is to turn over and change the map, according to the edict to follow the officer, the beginning of the commission to the governor, the end of the trust to care. So he worked hard and did his best, taking the edge of the fierce man alone, and living in the miasma of the East China Sea in June, giving strict orders and commanding generals. Fang Zhang's seal was destroyed, and the long whale of the gathering was destroyed! Ning Shaotai has been posted so far, and he is the legacy of my master! However, my teacher's illness was dying, and the death of the will healed the vow, and I was not at the banquet until the oil ran out of the lamp, and then I drove the boat back to my hometown, sat upright and passed away with a smile! ”

"Woohoo! If I will never enjoy the wealth of the world, he will also take risks, devote his family resources to help the king, and do not enjoy the glory of the official! Ask me why I came to this? Because of its goodness! ”

"Those who are good like water are on the top, and my teacher is alone; Everyone is easy, and my teacher is alone in danger; Everyone is clean, but my teacher is alone. The empty place is quiet, unfathomable, inexhaustible, and does not seek retribution! I have heard that 'the sage can walk at any time, and the sage should change according to things; The wise rule by inaction, and the master is born with the sky. 'My teacher is worthy of the 'sage and sage'! ”

"Hey, Zi said: 'Birds, people know that they can fly; Fish, known to swim; The beast, it is known that it can walk. The walker can be bound with a net, the swimmer can use a hook to catch it, the flyer can use an arrow to catch it, and as for the dragon, I don't know why. 'My teacher Jingchuan Tang Gongye is also a profound and unfathomable knowledge, and his ambitions are high and difficult to know; Like a snake bending and stretching at any time, like a dragon riding the wind and clouds and going up to the nine heavens, it is like a dragon? ”

"Woohoo, after Jingchuan, there is no Jingchuan, from now on in the world, where can a gentleman be found? Woohoo hurts! Fu Wei is still feasting. ”

Bidding farewell to Tang Shunzhi's coffin, he silently returned to Suzhou by boat, and just went out of Taihu Lake, he got a message that Hu Zongxian asked Wang Zhi to go to Hangzhou to see Wang Bengu!

Wang Bengu's dead pinch is the most staunch diehard, if the king falls into his hands, he will inevitably be imprisoned and then executed!

His silent heart sank to the bottom of Taihu Lake, he nodded slowly, signaled that he knew, and slowly walked back to the cabin, sat behind the big case and pondered...... Regarding Wang Zhi's fate, Shen Mo wrote to ask Hu Zongxian, and Hu Zongxian did not hide it from him - he said that after repeated consideration, he believed that Wang Zhi's final outcome should not be decided by himself, nor should he put forward a motion by himself.

Shen Mo still knows Hu Mou's consistent attitude very well, and he does not have the luxury of expecting Hu Zongxian to take a prosperous future for a pirate leader, so he can still accept a delaying attitude towards him, and he is about to return to Beijing to do work, trying to persuade several bigwigs to spare Wang Zhi's life, so that he can avoid death and "go to the sea", which is actually a disguised release.

It is true that killing Wang Zhi will be a huge blow to the Japanese Kou. As the king of pirates, Wang Zhi is a symbol and spiritual call to the unity of the Japanese pirates, if he dies, the Japanese will become a plate of loose sand, can no longer be organized, forming a climate, although it increases the difficulty of extermination, but it is inevitable to be broken by the officials and soldiers.

And for the Wakos and their supporters, this is a stern warning: don't expect to have enough of the Wakos, and there is still hope of being recruited, there is only one dead end in front of you! This is a clear signal for the officials and merchants who have not yet completely broken with the Japanese and still have dealings with them secretly: they must completely draw a line with them, otherwise they will be ruthlessly attacked by the imperial court. This will lead to fewer and fewer supporters of the Japanese Kou, and in the end, the end of the war will be doomed.

But don't forget that the reason why Wang Zhi went ashore obediently was because the dignified governor of the southeast, Hu Zongxian, a young treasurer, swore another gambling curse and swore an oath, and sent hostages to ensure Wang Zhi's safety and freedom.

If this will die, if the guarantee of the first product on behalf of the imperial court is not counted, the consequences are extremely serious - there is a saying that 'birds do not fly without a head, and people do not stand without faith', and for a political axe, you can't make that kind of short-sighted behavior, because it will make the Ming Dynasty win the war and lose faith.

If a court loses its faith, no one will trust it, but will have to deal with it with the same or even more deceit and shamelessness. Naturally, the result of deceiving honest people can only be to make future generations become exterminators. In fact, in the time and space before the silence, after Wang Zhi's death, the Japanese no longer really wanted to reconcile with the imperial court, and the future Japanese would either die in battle, or use fake surrender as a delaying tactic for the resurgence. This method even continued until the end of the Ming Dynasty, when Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong had deceived and surrendered, not to mention the wild boar skin that was familiar with this trick...... And we know that their family was Li Chengliang's most loyal supporters, if Li Chengliang hadn't killed his father and grandfather by despicable means first, how could he have learned to disguise so little, deceived the invincible Li Chengliang, and became his godson?

If this court is true to its words and believes, it may not die so wronged...... But some realists say, don't talk nonsense, isn't it just a killing king? It also involved the destruction of the country and the annihilation of the nation. Then let's not talk so far, just talk about the current anti-Japanese situation - you must know that the reason why Hu Zongxian agreed with Shen Mo's opinion and wanted Wang Zhi to be immortal is because if he can recruit Wang Zhi, measure and take a position, and make it cheap to control the sea, then Fujian, Guangzhou, Jiangsu, and Zhejiang can avoid fighting hard. But now I am tempted to come and kill him, in my nameless Yu Kou, for the loss of trust, beheading Wang Zhi and Haikou long, sincerity and deceit are far from each other.

Of course, because the Japanese are just a loose group, not even a union, Wang Zhi cannot represent all the Japanese invaders, even if he is not killed, or even given him an official, the war will still continue, because there will always be those who are unwilling to surrender, or who are dissatisfied after surrendering and rebel, but the scale of the war will not be so large, and the duration will not be so long - in fact, we know that the legendary history of General Qi and General Qi actually began after Wang Zhi's death. Wang Zhi's death was an important turning point, countless Japanese robbers would land on the coast, act arbitrarily, burn and loot, no one could restrain them, for a long time, the officials and soldiers could not stop their atrocities, and the temporary peace disappeared, replaced by a more cruel hell.

If it weren't for Qi Jiguang and his invincible divine army, who almost swept all the hard battles since then, and created a miracle of the casualty ratio of the enemy and the enemy in the cold weapon era with an average of 22 casualties in exchange for killing 1,000 people, pointing out the direction to the desperate Ming army generals, it is difficult to imagine whether the final Ming Dynasty would have won the victory against the Japanese.

Just like the outbreak of the Japanese War, it was because the land merchants of Fujian and Zhejiang deliberately defaulted on the payment of the maritime merchants, which made Wang Zhi, Xu Hai and others angry and killed, thus igniting the fuse of the war.

Who says integrity is something only stupid people should abide by? Who says smart people shouldn't be stupid and stupid?

And as a die-hard player of "Age of Discovery", Shen Mo knows that since the 16th century...... That is, in the early years of Zhengde, Western colonists came to the east one after another, seized the colonies, and carried out the trade of plundering surnames:

In the 36th year of Jiajing, Francois used fraudulent means to lease Macao. Later, in the fifth year of Muzon's reign, Spain occupied the island of Luzon in the Philippines; In the 29th year of Wanli, the sea coachmen came again, and they 'drove big ships and carried huge cannons', and under the name of 'Tonggong City', they invaded all parts of China's coastal areas, in an attempt to seize a place as a base for controlling trade with China and plundering China's wealth, and that place was called Taiwan...... Before Wang Zhi's death, China's East China Sea and the South China Sea were his 'corridors' for smuggling trade. The treasure island of Taiwan is an important transit station and supply place for Wang Zhi.

If the owner of the Five Peaks who commanded the heroes did not die, who could spread wild in his back garden?

Shen Mo thought a lot, and he also thought that if Wang Zhi died, Xu Hai would have no value in existence, and he had not yet reached the point of supporting the army and respecting himself, so the death of the cunning rabbit and the cooking of lackeys would inevitably be inevitable. As an important layout for the future, Xu Hai bears the heavy responsibility of leaving a way back for Shen Mo, if the ship capsizes in the political struggle one day, there is no chance to turn over, and he can't even save his family name, he is still counting on going to Australia or North America to be a local emperor.

After thinking about it, Shen Mo finally decided that no matter what method he used, he would save Wang Zhi's life.

If the question of whether to protect Wang Zhi made Shen Mo a little annoyed, then when he made up his mind, he fell into endless troubles - because the difficulty of this job was too great, even more than taking millet from the fire, more than killing Zhao Wenhua, and even more than anything he had done before.

Shen Mo knows that Hu Zongxian's personality is old, although he is old and sophisticated, too tactful, but his surname is extremely tenacious, once he makes up his mind, he will never easily change his course, unless there is his irresistible resistance, he will resolutely withdraw and retreat.

So although he didn't know what was going on, Shen Mo dared to conclude that he wanted to kill Wang Zhi's side and resorted to a killer move, and this killer weapon was so powerful that even the dignified Governor Hu had to retreat - then why did he, the governor of Su Song, who was about to step down, rise to the challenge and manage the affairs of Zhejiang? How can Shen Mo not be worried?

Until he arrived outside the city of Suzhou, he still didn't come up with a good way, but he already knew the killer of the 'killing king faction' - it turned out that the fierce dispute with Zong Xian had not succeeded, and the situation had entered a stalemate.

He claimed that Hu Zongxian had accepted huge bribes of hundreds of thousands of taels of silver from Shanmiao and Wang Zhi, so he interceded for Wang Zhi. This killing weapon is like Qiongxiao Niangniang's golden hinge scissors, no matter if you are a Taiyi Golden Immortal who has been cultivating for 10,000 years, the three flowers on your head will be cut off and knocked down into the dust.

Hu Zongxian did not cultivate into an immortal, so he was naturally more afraid of the killing weapon, he knew that if he continued to fight, he would be burned, so he could only change his position and throw Wang Zhi, a hot potato, to the other party.

When he learned the news, Shen Mo secretly said in his heart: 'Wang Zhi is ...... dead', so he lit the letter to Lu Bing and Xu Jie, and gave up the plan to find someone to trust him, because he knew that the two bigwigs couldn't help him.

Someone must ask, Wang Bengu is just a small seven-rank patrol, why can he kill the dignified southeast governor, so that the vast silence of the supernatural power does not dare to move, even a big guy like Lu Bing Xu Jie?

Because this person is a patrol of imperial history, his official position is not very noble, but he is a close minister of the Son of Heaven, the choice of Tsinghua, patrolling on behalf of the Son of Heaven, and specializing in the impeachment and performance evaluation of local officials. Big things are decided, small things are decided, and they can be heard by the heavens, and no one can stop them, so they have always been feared by the magistrates, even if the official position is much higher than him, they must be careful to flatter.

For a feudal official like Hu Zongxian, who leans towards the government and the opposition, he does not dare to slack off - he knows that Wang Bengu is the emperor's eyeliner by his side, and he can't move it no matter what, and he can't afford to offend, which further fuels his arrogance.

Of course, the reason why Wang Bengu is invincible is not only because of that official position, in fact, there is no invincible position in the world at all - even the emperor may be set aside, threatened, and played as a fool by the ministers, not to mention a seven-rank patrol? Otherwise, Lu Douyin would have been with Shen Mo a long time ago, so why did he avoid him back then.

In fact, there is only one kind of true invincibility, and that is an impeccable clean official in character! Wang Bengu is honest and honest, clean and self-loving, never accepts bribes, never uses power for personal gain, and never forms gangs...... This is definitely a more famous Qing official than Hai Rui at this stage.

When a well-known Qing official serves as the inspector of the imperial history to monitor you, the most terrible thing happens, you will find that you can't deal with him at all, because he is simply invulnerable, because in the Ming Dynasty, a country where morality is the evaluation standard, the Qing official is always correct!

Wang Bengu's tough attitude must be endless, in the eyes of these people who only have black and white colors, the wolf is a heinous bad guy, and the bad guy deserves to die, so he has to be arrested and killed, and whoever wants to protect it is the same party of the bad guy.

The most terrifying thing is that there are not a few people who hold the same view, and most of them are concentrated in the departments of the Metropolitan Procuratorate and the Six Departments, I am afraid that even Yan Ge Lao, who cultivates the skill of a Jiazi, can't resist the Manchu Dynasty Yanguan firing together, right?

Therefore, the official is mighty, but the official has no solution. Shen reluctantly came to this conclusion.

So, it's better to leave it alone, right? Regardless of the monstrous flood in the south of the Yangtze River, anyway, you are silently going to Yanjing to be an official, why do you care so much?
