Three hours later, on the vast sea, a large ship was riding the wind and waves, this ship was a Franc machine style galleon, with three masts in front and rear, hanging high sails, and now it was cleaving the waves with the wind.

In a cabin on the third floor with only one zhang square, the wolf is closing his eyes tightly, meditating and exercising, this is the first time he has taken a sea ship to sea, just on the boat for a while, the stomach is like turning over the river and the sea, almost about to open his mouth to vomit, hurriedly sit up, the whole body, after three weeks of luck, finally recover some vitality, sigh in his heart, his own martial arts are so uncomfortable when he goes to sea for the first time, ordinary people are new to the sea, just afraid that they can vomit and hand over all the bile.

A faint fragrance of orchid penetrated into the nostrils of the wolf, and without opening his eyes, he knew that Feng Wu was approaching him, and was about to speak, but he felt Feng Wu's bare hand on his wrist, and her voice reverberated directly in the wolf's ears with the vibration of the pleura.

Feng Wu changed into a men's dress today, wearing a human skin mask of a white-faced scribe in her thirties, but her petite figure and the fat powder on her body, as well as the plump and straight breasts, could betray her daughter's body early, and the wolf established her to use the bone shrinking method to make her taller before she set off, but Feng Wu resolutely refused, and the wolf could not persuade her to move left and right, so she had to give up.

I only heard Feng Wu say: "Sky wolf, it's the first time to take a sea boat, it's not suitable." ”

The windows of the cabin were open, and the salty sea breeze was pouring through the windows across the two windows, blowing the hair on the wolf's forehead. He didn't like the salty and wet feeling very much, and if he hadn't had a mask on his face, his skin would definitely be blown painfully. Just like Xu Hai, although he looks well-dressed and well-maintained, there are still patches of white spots on his face, he first thought it was vitiligo, but later learned that it was blown off by the sea breeze.

The Heavenly Wolf sighed and whispered, "Feng Wu, why didn't you react at all this time. Can you also help me protect the Fa, you have also been to sea before? ”

Feng Wu smiled: "I'm my father's ace spy, and I went to sea when I was ten years old." Riding on a sea boat was a daily routine for me, and I didn't feel uncomfortable anymore, but I still remember the first time I went to sea, I threw up three days of food. At that time, I wanted to jump into the sea and drown. ”

Sky Wolf smiled: "Then it must be that you were lazy in practicing at that time." The internal force is insufficient, you see that I will recover as soon as I am lucky. ”

Feng Wu hooked the corners of his mouth: "Hmph, what kind of skill are you now, I don't believe that you took this boat when you were ten years old, and you can rely on luck without throwing up." ”

Sky Wolf nodded, and said, "Okay, I haven't had time to talk to you about what I talked about with Xu Hai along the way, and I was thinking about it while exercising just now." You can also help me with the staff. ”

Feng Wu "fluttered" and smiled: "When you talked, I was actually hidden on the roof. I can hear everything you are saying. ”

Sky Wolf was a little surprised, he paid special attention to the surroundings at that time, but he didn't find anything unusual, he shook his head: "No, I didn't find anyone eavesdropping at the time." What kind of kung fu do you use? ”

Feng Wu seemed very happy to be able to deceive the ears and eyes of the wolf: "Hehe, this is my unique skill, even my father can't do it, in the future, we will become relatives in the future, and I will sue you again." ”

The wolf smiled slightly, Feng Wu looked like a little junior sister now, if Mu Lanxiang practiced something that he didn't know, he would also show off like this in front of him, his heart ached, and he quickly changed the topic: "Okay, I know you have the ability to listen, I'll talk about this later, since you have heard it all, do you have anything to say, whether my response is decent, you also stand in an objective point of view." ”

Feng Wuxiu's eyebrows frowned slightly, and her expression became solemn: "What you talked about with Hu Zongxian, I don't know, these military affairs are not something that our daughter's family should take care of, but I just think it's strange, if you want to help Wang Zhi and Xu Hai destroy Chen Sipan, they will be the only family at sea, and when the time comes to negotiate peace with us, the price will definitely be higher, don't raise them too fat and can't feed them in the future, when the time comes, find a scapegoat, and it is likely that they will throw you out." ”

"If you want me to say, don't really help them destroy Chen Sipan, just mean it, it's best to find a way to let Chen Sipan and Xiao Xian go, so that the pirates in Guangdong and the Japanese can form a deep enmity, let them fight each other, can't we still take advantage of the fishermen?"

Heavenly Wolf smiled and said: "Feng Wu, you still don't understand this military matter, at first I was also thinking like this, thinking about letting them kill each other, but Governor Hu and his military advisor Xu Wenchang insisted on helping Wang Zhi's gang eliminate Chen Sipan, and there were several reasons for this. ”

"First, Xu Hai and Chen Sipan have a vengeance against their uncle, they have to be revenged, in the past, Wang Xu's gang was not strong enough to start a full-scale war with Chen Sipan for the time being, but now they are much stronger than each other, and they can no longer rob the coast, so they will naturally target each other, so this is the reason why Wang Zhi sent someone to contact us and ask us to help destroy the opponent."

"Second, Wang Zhi doesn't want to bear the infamy of taking the initiative to betray the alliance and leading the official army to attack and kill his colleagues, so he wants to find us to help, if we don't agree to come down, then they are likely to give up and merge with Chen Sipan, these widows don't produce, they can't make a living except for robbery, if they don't fight with Chen Sipan, and if they don't open the sea ban, then they will rob the coast, and the people of Li will suffer."

Feng Wu nodded, and blinked with a pair of beautiful big eyes: "Then just ban trade, you have this authority, and Hu Zongxian is also ready for this, why do you have to spend so much time?" ”

The cold glint in the wolf's eyes flashed: "No, compared to eliminating Chen Sipan, this matter of opening the sea ban is what the Japanese invaders want the most, and it is also the core of all negotiation issues, even Zhao'an is just a formality, the fundamental point is in this sea ban, if the sea ban is opened, the illegal businessmen in the mainland will smuggle silk on a large scale, and Yan Shifan will instruct his corrupt officials to facilitate this kind of smuggling, and then fatten Yan Shifan and the Japanese invaders." However, he lost the silk handed over to the imperial court and the treasury in Zhejiang, and Yan Shifan could use this as an excuse to remove Hu Zongxian. Replace the governor of Zhejiang with his own people, so that he can cover the sky with one hand. ”

Feng Wu let out an "oh", and a convincing expression appeared on her face: "It turns out that there is still this doorway, so it seems that you are not going to open the sea ban, in this case, why do you want to promise Xu Hai?" If they don't keep their word, will these pirates tear up the peace talks in a fit of rage? And then attack the coast? ”

Heavenly Wolf smiled slightly: "That's the main reason why I want to help them eliminate Chen Sipan's gang, although Chen Sipan's strength is not as good as Wang Zhi Xu Hai, but there are tens of thousands of pirates who are nominally attached to him." Moreover, the Shimazu clan is now wary of Wang Zhi's dominance and disobedience, and has an attempt to support Chen Sipan, who only knows how to plunder. I don't want to trade. Once Wang Zhi is replaced by the support of the Japanese, there will be no talk at all, only a hard fight, and the losses will be hundreds of times greater. Therefore, Chen Sipan can't be given a chance to collude with the Japanese and develop and grow, he must be destroyed first, and let his subordinates be absorbed and annexed by Wang Zhi!"

"Although Wang Zhi is powerful. But now we can't rely on robbery to rob money, and there is no trade. It is completely relying on the inventory obtained from the robbery in the past few years, trading guns with the Franc machine, and then reselling it to Japan, even then it can only barely maintain the operation of his subordinates, Xu Wenchang has calculated that although Xu Hai has always claimed to have more than 100,000 people, but their real core subordinates are forty or fifty thousand people, and most of the others are the Japanese who were temporarily pulled in when they were going to sea to plunder, so if they want to eat the thirty or forty thousand people under Chen Sipan, the expenses and expenses will be a generation larger, and I am afraid that within half a year, their savings will be spent. It can't go on any longer. ”

"Now they can still stubbornly not go ashore, not recruit An, because they can still last for a year or two, but after destroying Chen Sipan, they will not be able to last for half a year, when the time comes, we will give them a little benefit, partially open some sea bans, and sell them a small amount of silk, so that they can taste the sweetness, and when they can't do without this official trade, then suddenly cut off this transaction, and require them to go ashore to accept Zhao'an and official positions, at that time Wang Zhi was only afraid that he would have to give in, that is, he himself did not want to go ashore, In the past two years, his subordinates have been able to make money without using knives and guns, and they will no longer work lightly, and their pressure will force Wang Zhi to surrender. ”

Feng Wu's face showed a hint of admiration, and he stared at the sky wolf motionlessly: "It's amazing, it's really a great talent who came up with this plan, the sky wolf, that Xu Wenchang looks like a sven man, I didn't expect there to be such a bad stomach." ”

Heavenly Wolf sighed: "Xu Wenchang is indeed talented, but fortunately, he is dealing with the Japanese Kou with this move, so eliminating Chen Sipan is the first step and a must, not only to let us win the trust of Wang Zhi Xu Hai, but also to make them carry a huge burden, and then slowly open the sea ban, limited trade, lead them to the bait, and the subordinates who have tasted the benefits will no longer have the will to fight, and finally force them to accept Zhao'an and disband their subordinates." ”

"If Wang Zhi and Xu Hai have to make a desperate gamble and restart the robbery at that time, the new army will almost be trained, at least on land, they will not be allowed to take advantage of it again, if the Japanese can't grab it, and they can't beat it, then they will be scattered, especially after the opening of the sea ban, the relationship between the Japanese and Wang Zhi can be separated, without the help of fierce and cruel Japanese swordsmen, there are only hundreds of thousands of pirates, and it is not too difficult to deal with."

Feng Wu laughed so much that her eyes were bent into two crescents: "Good strategy, Sky Wolf, then Xu Hai has been moved by you, it's just that Wang Zhi is an old treacherous and slippery, is it so easy to take the bait?" ”

Tian Wolf's expression became solemn: "This is also what Governor Hu is worried about, so he also worked hard this time to find Wang Zhi's family in Huizhou and invite him to Hangzhou as a guest, just hoping to make Wang Zhi turn back with the power of family affection." ”

Feng Wu crooked her mouth: "Then why didn't Wang Zhi's family go to sea with Wang Zhi?" He has done such a big business on the sea, aren't these people looking for death if they stay in the mainland, you must know that the people who go to the sea are going to exterminate the people. ”

Heavenly Wolf laughed: "That Wang Zhi's family has already changed their names and surnames, hiding everywhere, and they have all fled to live in Sichuan, and Governor Hu has also spent a lot of effort, and even cooperated with your father, and asked Jinyiwei to investigate secretly, so that Wang Zhi's family was found." ”

"The reason why these people didn't follow Wang Zhi to the sea may be because Wang Zhi married another woman in Japan and gave birth to a son, and he was afraid that he would not get along well after seeing him, and second, Wang Zhi himself attaches great importance to the concept of the countryside, and the ancestral hall of his hometown, especially the ancestral tomb, also needs to be sacrificed. The third is that it is actually extremely risky to be the leader of the Japanese bandits, and one day he will be caught. Or be burned by peers and subordinates, and there is no place to die, so it is better to leave an incense in the mainland. ”

Feng Wu smiled: "But like this." Didn't you find it out, Wang Zhi was smart but was mistaken by cleverness, and gave the hostages in vain, but since Wang Zhi dared to go to the sea alone and abandon his family, it must be impossible for his family to go ashore to accept Zhao'an. ”

Sky Wolf nodded, "Not bad." This is just a precautionary measure, Governor Hu is now treating Wang Zhi's family with courtesy, and wants them to persuade Wang Zhi to turn back with family affection. What can really force Wang Zhi to go ashore is still the matter of opening the sea and banning, if he can really accept our conditions and disband the troops. Go ashore to accept official positions and recruitment. It can reunite his family. ”

Feng Wu put away his smile and said: "My father said that the emperor once had a secret decree, for Wang Zhi and Xu Hai, these leaders, it is okay to recruit an for the time being, but they must be killed in the future to set an example." Celestial Wolf, you made that promise to them this time. In the future, if these people are killed, aren't you afraid of retribution for yourself? ”

Sky Wolf was slightly stunned: "There is such a thing? Why did Hu Zongxian never tell me? ”

Feng Wu sighed: "Maybe I'm talking too much, but Hu Zongxian must have received this will, so his recruitment must be a plan for rights and interests, Heavenly Wolf, although the ghost and god oath are false, I still don't want you to swear indiscriminately, in case something bad really comes true, I, I really can't rest assured." ”

There was a burst of warmth in the wolf's heart, he knew that Feng Wu did not hesitate to tell this confidential matter for his own safety, and he was somewhat moved, and said: "Don't worry, in fact, I am also mentally prepared for this matter, the emperor is a person who wants to save face, and he will definitely feel that recruiting the Japanese and giving him the official position is tantamount to taking the initiative to bow to the Japanese invaders, and at the moment the north and south of the country are not at peace, and he can't cut off the taxes in the southeast, so he can only acquiesce to Hu Zongxian's recruitment, but once he eases up in the future, he will definitely counterattack, rest assured, I don't have good intentions towards the Japanese Bandits, but I don't pity them for the sins they have created along the coast over the years, and these people have been cut by a thousand knives, and I will not really take a heart to these jackals and beasts, let alone swear for them. ”

A flash of joy flashed in Feng Wu's eyes: "Really, you really won't swear to keep Wang Zhi and Xu Hai safe?" ”

The wolf groaned for a while, and whispered: "Speaking from the heart, Xu Hai can also say that he has a relationship, after all, it was his uncle who brought him on the thief ship, and from the point of view of Xu Hai's deep affection for the woman surnamed Wang, this person has a bit of human touch, you also heard what he said on the shore, it's not that he doesn't want to turn back, but just afraid of liquidation, I think if he has a chance to recruit An, he wants to really change his mind and be a new person, for this person, if possible, I still want to try my best to preserve, after all, he is not Wang Zhi, not the first evil." ”

"It's just that Wang Zhi, although I haven't seen him, but now I know very well that this person is the culprit of the more than ten years of rebellion in the southeast, Xu Hairuo can still say that he can't help it, then Wang Zhi is smuggled into the sea first, took refuge in the Japanese, and led the way to burn and loot later, before Wang Zhi, there were also many pirate gangs, but no one could think of colluding with the Japanese and leading foreign enemies to invade, so Wang Zhi caused more danger to my Ming Dynasty than all the pirates throughout the ages. also found a poisonous plan for all the pirates to lure the wolf into the house, if Wang Zhi cannot be liquidated, then the coast of the Ming Dynasty will never be peaceful. ”

Feng Wu pursed her small mouth, although she didn't wipe the flaming red lips today, her cherry-like small mouth was still delicate and cute: "Is it so strict?" Do you mean that after the elimination of Wang Zhi, this coastal area will still not be peaceful? ”

Sky Wolf sighed: "I don't want this to be true, it's just that Japan is now in war for many years, and there are a large number of failed samurai and ronins who have no way to make a living, so they can only go to the sea to rob, even if Wang Zhi is eliminated and the sea ban is reopened, this business with the southern Francophile will get bigger and bigger, and there will be more than a dozen merchant ships running on the trade routes every day, what can stimulate people's desire to rob more than watching these moving gold mountains?" I'm sure that there will be more lawbreakers who will collude with the fierce and murderous Japanese pirates and follow the old path of Wang Zhi, so only by killing Wang Zhi can we deter these petty people. ”

Feng Wu nodded: "I understand what you mean, but do you want Xu Hai to be in charge of the army in the future and be responsible for protecting the safety of maritime trade?" ”

Heavenly Wolf pondered for a moment and shook his head: "I haven't thought about this yet, and it's not something I can decide, from my personal point of view, if Xu Hai is truly obedient and can bring his subordinates to serve the court together, it is naturally the best choice, otherwise even if Xu Hai is killed, his brave subordinates will scatter and become an unstable force on the sea, and Xu Hai himself is different from Wang Zhi, he doesn't want to make money in business in the future, he just wants to live a stable life with that Wang Cuiqiao, as long as Miss Wang is good on the shore, he will not be rebellious." ”

A trace of panic flashed in Feng Wu's eyes: "Heavenly Wolf, your idea is very good, but after thinking about it so much, haven't you thought about it for yourself, that Yan Shifan thief is on Shuangyu Island now, he will definitely not let your plan be so easy to achieve, have you thought of a way to deal with him?"
