And Xu Hai naturally heard the news, and hurriedly led the elite of the headquarters with Wang Cuiqiao to escort him. Wang Cuiqiao is a knowledgeable person, Yan Hong is a hardcore open-sea Zhao'an faction, if Wang Zhi is not dead, he has to rely on his efforts to save him. If Mao Haifeng's gang of people were allowed to arrest Yan Hong, this would be tantamount to offending the life-saving Bodhisattva, and it would be difficult to deal with things in the future. Moreover, Chen Dong and Ye Ma are not small in their party, and Mao Haifeng's subordinates may not have their people hidden. If something happens to Yan Hong while he is in chaos and offends the emperor and Yan Ge Lao, then even Xu Hai's way out will be ruined.

Yan Hong didn't want his family and Hu Zongxian to spend countless efforts to get Wang Zhi ashore, and he actually made such a change in a blink of an eye. If Wang Zhi is killed, then the plan to open the sea will come to naught, and even if the imperial court can suppress the Japanese invaders, it will have to spend countless money, food, soldiers and horses. He couldn't help but say angrily: "Wang Bengu, this bastard thing, if the old ship owner is killed by him, I will not rest with him!" ”

Wang Cuiqiao sighed: "If the old shipowner is really killed, even if Wang Bengu is cut by a thousand knives, he will not be able to stop the southeast disaster for thousands of miles." Speaking of which, Wang Bengu is just a patrol envoy, in fact, Hu Dashuai has 100,000 male soldiers, if he can really gain a firm foothold, it will not be like this. Now I am only afraid that Hu Dashuai will be troubled by Wang Bengu at both ends of his own head, and if he is unstable, then this matter will be difficult to do. ”

Xu Hai also said: "Brother, when I went to assassinate Li Wenzao, I brought a knife into the county by myself, and there was a reason for being taken." Now the old shipowner was obviously called to Hangzhou by Hu Dashuai to talk about Zhao'an and opening the sea, why did he eat people and say that he would take it? The initial violent jump of Mao Haifeng was like thunder, and he wanted to gather 100,000 people from two oceans to wash the coast with blood. Your sister-in-law, I swore by it. Don't do that anymore. I will not break my oath. Not to mention. Now that I have a son, I will accumulate blessings for him. However, if he always stood still, for fear of being thought by other gangs to have different intentions, then Chen Dong and Ye Ma also fanned the flames. At that time, it doesn't matter if Mao Haifeng and his gang don't treat me as their own family, but it will not be easy to mediate in the middle. So I had to make a show. Make it look like you're ready to go out at any time. But when I really want to send troops, I will say that there is not enough food or ammunition, and I will try to delay it by all means. ”

Yan Hong also understands that it is difficult for the two aunts to be a wife, which is Xu Hai's current situation. Aside from the nonsense of kindness, is the Ming Dynasty easy to mess with? Even if this revenge operation succeeds, the Ming Dynasty will not be destroyed, but will take more intense repressive actions. And so on and so forth. In the end, the widows could not afford to die. Xu Hai has experienced the Shaoxing incident, and there is Wang Cuiqiao, a virtuous helper. I see this very clearly. But there are many pirates who can't see clearly, and there are still people who deliberately smash the situation of Zhao'an and incite troops. In this case, Xu Hai is indeed a very important chess piece for the Ming Dynasty.

Therefore, Yan Hong nodded and said, "With my brother-in-law at sea, I am much more relieved." Now we have to think of a charter, wait until we go to Hangzhou, try to rescue the old shipowner, and then settle accounts with Wang Bengu. ”

Xu Hai coughed and said, "Speaking of this, there is one thing that needs to be discussed with my brother. This Mao Haifeng led a large group of ships to drive, originally wanted to invite the old man to go to Zhoushan, and it was best to change the old ship owner back. It was I who knew the benefits and harms to him, and said that if he was forced to stay in Qin and send the tiger to drive, not only would he not be able to save the old shipowner, but he would ruin the old shipowner's life. That Mao Haifeng heard me say that Qin Cha was a strong advocate of opening the sea to recruit peace, but he didn't dare to offend. But he asked Chin to go to his ship and meet him. He wanted to tell him in person, so that he could rest assured. ”

When Ye Zhengfei heard this, he slapped the table and said, "Mao Haifeng is just a widow, and he actually wants to be transferred to his ship?" Qincha, this matter can't be taken from him, otherwise you will go, there are many people on the ship, he turned his face and didn't recognize people, he took you down, and he wanted to engage in the trick of exchanging hostages, but instead of it, he ruined the matter of opening the sea. ”

Yun Chuqi pulled Ye Zhengfei, but said: "Brother Xu, it is really inappropriate for Qin to send to Mao Haifeng's boat. Mao Haifeng wants to see Qincha, so he can bring a few servants to our galen ship to meet. ”

Xu Haidao: "I also persuaded Mao Haifeng like this, but Mao Haifeng was worried that Qin sent to learn from Hu Zongxian and Wang Bengu, and when he got on the boat, he was also arrested." ”

When Yan Hong heard this, he couldn't cry or laugh. Wang Cuiqiao said: "Brother, although Mao Haifeng is suspicious, there is a precedent for the old shipowner, and he doesn't know what kind of righteous person you are, but it is inevitable to worry about it." Now, if you decide not to meet him, it may not be impossible to break through with your two cannon ships. I will spell out with your sister-in-law to turn my face with Mao Haifeng, and I will escort you safely. It's just that if this is the case, Mao Haifeng has a bad heart after all, and he is afraid that he will not be able to restrain his men and horses, and will be taken advantage of by Chen Dong and Ye Ma to make trouble, then it is also a little inappropriate for you to do the big plan of recruiting peace, saving the old ship owner, and pacifying the southeast. If you can go to see Mao Haifeng this time and calm down a little, things will be easier to do in the future. ”

Yan Hong listened to Wang Cuiqiao's words, but he also felt reasonable. If you leave today, you may have to fight with Mao Haifeng's people, which will be quite troublesome for Zhao'an in the future. He pondered for a moment, then raised his head and said, "Since Mao Haifeng refuses to come to my Galen ship, what do my sister-in-law and sister mean?" ”

Xu Haidao: "This, if the two families are unwilling to go to each other's boats, why don't we drive a few sampans and meet at sea?" ”

Yan Hongxin said, if you really want me to be dignified, sit on a sampan and talk to Mao Haifeng, the leader of the Japanese Bandits, at sea, what kind of system will it be? Moreover, the sampan boat is small and unstable, and if someone makes an ambush or something, they can't even defend it. Rather than this, it is better to sell more face to Xu Hai.

He smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, why bother doing this? From the brother's point of view, since the two families can't trust each other, it's better to meet on the sister-in-law's big ship. Both sides each brought ten servants, and with my sister-in-law to protect me, I was relieved. But I don't know if Mao Haifeng trusts his sister-in-law? ”

Xu Hai actually thought that this idea was the best for a long time, but he was afraid that Yan Hong would not be too comfortable with him and would not come to his boat, and it would be boring to say it. Now that Yan Hong actually took the initiative to express his trust, Xu Hai was quite moved, and said: "Make, make." Without further ado, how about coming to my boat after noon? ”

Yan Hong nodded. Yun Chu said: "Brother Xu, my family sent you on the ship, you have to be more vigilant, don't let those people with evil intentions secretly attack." Xu Haidao: "That's nature. If Qin Cha made the slightest mistake, Xu Hai would definitely apologize for his crimes! ”

So Xu Hai said goodbye and returned to the ship. Soon Zhang Wu came to report, saying that he had agreed with Mao Haifeng, and he was scheduled to meet on Xu Hai's ship at the beginning of the day. Each of the two families brought ten servants to board the ship. The rest of the men and horses had to be more than a mile away from the ship.

Deng Zilong persuaded: "Qincha, how can Xu Hai be trusted if he is a widow." In the following official opinion, it is better not to go. Our Galen ships are strong and sharp, and the sealed boats are even more cities on the sea, as long as they break through to the coast, they are not afraid that he will have many Japanese ships. Why should he risk his life? ”

Yan Hong trusted Xu Hai and Wang Cuiqiao in his heart, but he couldn't prove it to Deng Zilong, so he immediately pretended to be angry: "If I am just for my own safety, I will naturally take the best plan." However, recruiting the Japanese and pacifying the southeast is for the sake of millions of people and the foundation of the Ming Dynasty. Even if it's Longtan Tiger's Den, I'm going to break through! This remark made Deng Zilong very emotional.

So Yan Hong selected people, Yun Chu followed the command guard, Liu Lian led four brocade guards, five bird guns, and excellent firepower. In addition, Deng Zilong's three Fujian army Xiaoqi are all skilled in water and clever. The last spot was Cristiano, a Portuguese who could speak Chinese.

At this time, I saw that more than 30 ships of Xu Hai had already formed a circular array with a diameter of two miles on the sea, and Xu Hai's ship was in the center. Deng Zilong drove the Galen ship to the edge of the ring formation, and all the cannons were prepared, just in case. Yan Hong took ten servants and rode the sampan sent by Xu Hai to the ship. Xu Hai personally greeted him in the main cabin and sent tea and snacks. After that, I asked Wang Cuiqiao to accompany me temporarily and pick up Mao Haifeng's people by myself.

After a while, a steady footstep sounded, and more than ten people walked into the cabin and sat opposite Yan Hong. Xu Hai and Wang Cuiqiao sat down in the center. Yan Hong looked carefully, and all the people who came were fierce and fierce-looking. One of them, about 30 years old, was not tall, with a strong physique and a long face. Xu Hai introduced that this person is Wang Zhi's righteous son Mao Haifeng, who changed his name to Wang Yi because he worshipped Wang Zhi as his godfather. But when you look closely, this person's eyes are bloodshot, and his face is slightly haggard, probably worried about his father-in-law, so he can't sleep well.

Xu Hai introduced Yan Hong again. Mao Haifeng bowed slightly, and said: "Yan Qincha, Uncle Xu was recruited by you at the beginning, but my father-in-law was obviously Hu Zongxian, and he recruited him ashore, saying that he would forgive sins and recruit peace, and he would also seal the official and open the sea." Now he has been taken down by Wang Bengu, and some say that he has been killed. How do you explain this? ”

Yan Hong knew that he could neither be too arrogant nor too humble with these widows. He said with a face like water: "Mao Haifeng, Xu Hai was indeed the official who played the emperor's recruitment, and this Hu Zongxian and Hu Daduxian recruited the old shipowner Wang Zhi, and the official also strongly agreed." Who knew that Wang Bengu actually came to a sideways, and the official must not stand by and watch this matter. ”

Mao Haifeng said: "Hugh has to talk flatteringly, and it will fall on your head today, and I want my father-in-law to return safely!" ”

Yan Hong sneered: "Young Ship Master, what you said is not right. This official is the main one to recruit An, and it was Wang Bengu who caught the old shipowner, but what did you do with me? For example, I was doing business with the old shipowner, but I was robbed by Wang Bengu halfway, you don't say that you will join forces with me to deal with Wang Bengu, but threaten me, what is the reason? ”

Mao Haifeng was furious, slapped the table and said, "You are so flattering, what else do you say?" It's not you dog officials, who colluded with each other, one red and one white, tricked my father-in-law ashore, and killed him. Now you're going to talk about irrelevant nonsense and play tricks on me. (To be continued......)
