Chapter 700: The Pacification of the First Wave of Bandits II
The pacification of the first wave of pirates II
Shen Jiu suddenly spoke and said, "Brother Wang, Brother Lu, Fourth Brother Chen, I, Shen, have something to say."
Monk Wang said, "Brother Shen, please speak?"
Shen Jiu said: "Whatever is appropriate is stopped, what should be done, what is not done is abandoned, the current situation is obviously not suitable to continue." I, Shen, am timid, I was originally engaged in maritime business, who knew that the Holy Lord gave an order to ban the sea, which simply made me lose all my money, so I had to bite the pressure to do this vote, and it is today, but being a robber will not last long. I've been thinking about the way back, and now that I'm in this situation, I want to take a step back. ”
Monk Wang frowned and said, "Take a step back, how to take a step back?" Our case record, even if we go ashore and go incognito, aren't you afraid of being turned out? ”
Monk Wang thought about this, but he gave up, some things are difficult to give up once they are touched, such as power, although Monk Wang is now a thief, but a big thief gave an order, and tens of thousands of people responded to it. No worse than any dignitary.
Let him give up, that's impossible. He can no longer live as an ordinary person.
Shen Jiu said: "I know, we can't go back to the mainland, but King Yong's side is recruiting."
Monk Wang said: "King Yong has harmed us so badly, do you really want to go to King Yong?"
Shen Jiu said: "Yes, King Yong has recently got Luzon into his hands and is recruiting people to open up, I will take my brothers over and let the brothers share the land in Luzon in peace, which can be regarded as a good destination." As for me being a rich man in Dongyong, it's not bad. ”
For a while, Monk Wang didn't know what to say.
This choice can't be said to be wrong, when Dong Yongzhen is employing people, Shen Jiu is doing this, it can't be said that it is really possible.
But Monk Wang was reluctant in his heart. Xu Hai is gone, if Shen Jiu also leaves, everyone will disperse, what is the meaning of what he, the alliance leader, is doing.
Monk Wang regretted it a little, he knew that he should have been decisive just now, and it would not be so difficult to kill Xu Hai and annex his subordinates.
Xu Hai left, and Monk Wang did not stop him.
Shen Jiu's departure, Monk Wang's couldn't stop him.
Fortunately, the other two have no intention of leaving, otherwise Monk Wang would have become a loner directly, but when the three of them met, they couldn't think of any good way to break the situation, but one step at a time.
On the one hand, they continued to rob, they couldn't stop, on the other hand, they went everywhere to find people to write off their accounts, but they could find some, after all, there are people to do profitable things, but these businessmen who wrote off their accounts were too ruthless to reduce the price, and they were eager to buy stolen goods with fifty or forty percent of the original price, which could not be compared with the high profits sold to Japan.
Xu Hai returned to his lair, and nothing was pleasing to the eye. With a "snap", the precious porcelain was smashed on the ground, and large and small porcelain pieces fell everywhere.
"Monk Wang, I want your life." Xu Hai scolded loudly.
"Husband, what's wrong with you?" A woman walked over, only to see that she was dressed in a bright palace dress, which looked extremely bright, and made people look like the kind of ladies who were gentle to the bones.
Xu Hai saw her, and he didn't know where he went for a while.
She is Xu Hai's wife, surnamed Wang, and Xu Hai's subordinates call him Mrs. Wang.
Mrs. Wang was born in an official eunuch family, she was well-read, and she didn't know how she was in trouble, but she was rescued by Xu Hai and became Xu Hai's wife, and many of Xu Hai's chores were taken care of by Mrs. Wang. It can be said that it is not only Xu Hai's wife, but also Xu Hai's right-hand man.
When Mrs. Wang saw the porcelain fragments everywhere, she had to squat down and pick them up.
Seeing this, Xu Hai grabbed Lord Wang's hand and said, "Madam, just let the next person do these things." You don't have to do it. ”
Xu Hai took Mrs. Wang's hand, sat on the chair next to him, and immediately a few maids went to pick up the fragments on the ground one by one.
Xu Hai said a little confused: "Madam, I really don't know what to do?"
Mrs. Wang said, "Husband, don't worry. When things are at the worst they will mend. The whole south is doing sea trade, and the sea ban will not last long, and there will be chaos after a long time. So the husband waits patiently, if the sea ban is lifted, our family will continue to do sea trade, if the sea ban is not lifted, someone wants to continue to make trouble at that time, maybe they will also support the husband you. ”
Xu Hai said: "I originally wanted to be an official and a half-time job in Dongyong, but I didn't expect to make it like this, it was Uncle Wu, and he wouldn't contact us anymore, so I thought there was no way, but I would have wronged you in this way."
Mrs. Wang said: "What grievances, not grievances, without a husband, I don't know where it is."
Xu Hai looked at Mrs. Wang's face, his face was solemn, as if he had made up his mind, and said, "Madam, I will definitely get you an order."
"Husband, are you ready to be recruited?" Mrs. Wang was a little worried and said.
Xu Hai said: "There is no future for being a thief, if you can wash your name, why not go ashore?"
Mrs. Wang said: "Husband, a person in the official mansion, eats people and does not spit out bones. You must be careful. ”
Xu Hai said: "I know that if this continues, we won't be able to last long, especially if we have to pay out 200,000 taels of silver." That's the only way. ”
"What?" Zhang Jing said: "Your master intends to surrender?"
The so-called Qiao woman is difficult to cook without rice, Zhang Jing has no soldiers, and he can only find another way to deal with these pirates, so the method of recruiting an was also thought out by Zhang Jing.
Zhang Jing sent letters to the countrymen of these pirate leaders several times. Tell about Zhao'an.
The townspeople are very close, and even pirates don't kill them easily. So the letter was delivered, but there was no response.
I don't want to be at this time, there is really a response.
Zhang Jing was overjoyed.
As for whether Zhang Jing really has the heart to recruit peace in his heart, it is another matter.
"Yes. My master said that if Lord Zhang is willing to talk to him and recruit peace, he will respond, and if Lord Zhang is unwilling, this matter will be forgotten. ”
When Zhang Jing heard this, he frowned.
The so-called son of a daughter can't sit down, so he is not willing to risk his life to meet a pirate. Zhang Jing felt that Zhang Jing's life was much heavier than Xu Hai's.
However, Zhang Jing thought about it more.
First, the troops in his hands are far inferior to Yao Qi.
Yao Wei has elite Guangxi soldiers and Shen Xiyi, a general. But what does he have, Fujian has no pirates because of Dongyong's tacit understanding, so after Yao Wei sat in Zhejiang, Zhang Jing had to go to Nanzhili.
But Nan Zhili is not something he can manage, after all, Nan Zhili is directly under the jurisdiction of Nanjing, and the official position of any Nanjing bigwig is above Zhang Jing.
So Zhang Jing was not happy in Jiaxing. is tied down, and his subordinates are just the people of Jiaxing, and even now they are raised by Jiaxing Mansion.
It stands to reason that he is no longer the prefect of Jiaxing.
Whether the Jiaxing government should bear the military expenses of these Jiaxing people is still between the two.
So Zhang Jing's current position is a very awkward position.
Zhang Jing was unwilling to be given the great work of quelling the chaos by Yao Gong alone, but if he didn't take the risk, if he made a greater contribution than Yao Juan in the chaos.
Zhang Jing said: "Okay. I agreed. Time and place. ”
"My master doesn't want to embarrass adults, it's on the Taihu Lake. My host is willing to spend a while with adults on the Taihu Lake. ”
As soon as Zhang Jing heard about Taihu Lake, he was much more relieved.
If he wants Zhang Jing to go to sea, Zhang Jing will definitely not go.
But Taihu Lake is negotiable.
First of all, these pirates are all active at sea, they are not too familiar with the inland, Taihu Lake is an inner lake, Zhang Jing can make some arrangements on Taihu Lake to ensure his safety.
And after all, Taihu Lake is on the water, and the smoke is vast. Some of these pirates play in the water, and it is too easy to escape by jumping into the water.
It can be seen that Xu Hai also took great pains to choose the place of Taihu Lake.
Zhang Jing said: "It's just above Taihu Lake, just in that place?"
Taihu Lake is also a large lake, and there is no place to find it above Taihu Lake alone.
"My master said that when the adults arrive at Taihu Lake, they will naturally send someone to inform them. Leave. With that, the man was gone.
