"What's next?" Xue Ling couldn't help but speak.

Although everyone knows the results.

Since Wang Zhi is still alive and well now, then he must not have been killed in this encirclement and suppression, but he may have gained great benefits from it, otherwise he would not have grown step by step into the king of Hui who covered the sky on the sea and the legendary owner of the Five Peaks.

But in fact, Xue Ling never thought that the now famous pirate king Wang Zhi was just an ordinary shipmer, and he might even be the one who was honest.

And in the blink of an eye, he became an unattainable mysterious figure.

What happened in between, or how impermanent fate was meant to be.

"The pirates have suffered heavy losses." Guang Jiqi said seriously: "At that time, the pirates were far from having the current financial resources and power, and they could only scatter and flee in the face of the encirclement and suppression of the government. ”

"A large number of the shipowners and leaders were killed, and everyone was in a panic, and the trees fell and the macaques were scattered.

"And at this time, someone stepped forward." Guang Jiqi sighed: "He said I can take you to continue to work." ”

"Wang Zhi?" Xue Ling asked.

Of course, this is an answer that is close to obvious.

"Yes, Wang Zhi." Guang Jiqi nodded: "Unlike others, most of other people's strongholds are still on the coast of Shenzhou, while Wang Zhi has already gained a firm foothold in Dongying. ”

"While everyone else is in a state of panic, he can slowly lick his wounds in Dongying's stronghold, and patiently wait for a bite of whale to swallow the territory and subordinates left by the previous leader."

"This is a long process, in this process, Wang Zhi also showed his means and financial resources far beyond ordinary people, and he even teamed up with several Great Zhou generals to complete the encirclement and suppression of several pirates who did not obey his leadership, thus successfully becoming the master of this sea area."

"It can be said that on the southeast coast, no one has ever said that he is the overlord of this sea before."

"And now, Wang Zhi can say the same."

"He has become a real One Piece, the banner of the owner of the Five Peaks is waving in the wind on the sea, and almost every merchant ship running on the sea has to accept Wang Zhi's protection."

"Hearing you say that, you don't seem to have that much hatred and hatred for Wang Zhi?" Fang Bei looked at Guang Jiqi, who knew almost everything about Wang Zhi's past experience, and said.

"Of course not, it's just that I often say, plan and then act, know yourself and know your opponent, and you will not be defeated in a hundred battles."

"I became the commander and came to the Shiping Guard, at least I want to know who my enemy is, how can I find his weaknesses, and how can I defeat him."

Fang Bei nodded and looked at Guang Jiqi: "What about now?" ”

"Have you found his weakness?"

Guang Jiqi nodded: "Of course I found it." ”

"Now Wang Zhi's biggest weakness is that he is old."

"He's old?" Xue Ling asked curiously.

Wang Zhi is not a martial arts master, and he will lose his former combat power because of old age.

Wang Zhi is just a pirate leader, shouldn't he be more old and calculating?

"Yes, he's old." Guang Jiqi nodded in confirmation.

"When I was young, I was full of pride, why should I bury my bones, and where is my life not green."

"But when I get old, I always want to return to my roots and return to my hometown."

"Does he have this chance?" Xue Ling asked rhetorically.

Yes, does Wang Zhi still have this opportunity?

Guang Jiqi has already said before, Wang Zhi is a person from Huizhou, but the fallen leaves return to his roots, and he returns to his hometown, with the current identity of Wang Zhi's sea thief, how can the Great Zhou court sit idly by?

"Of course there is an opportunity, in fact, now, if Wang Zhi himself wants to negotiate terms with the imperial court, on Yuhang's side, his fleet can already openly enter the market to replenish, and a large number of people want to send their children into Wang Zhi's fleet to make a fortune."

Regarding Wang Zhi's information, Guang Jiqi always knows a little more than ordinary people.

"But Wang Zhi is far from satisfied with this." Guang Jiqi sighed.

"So what does he want?" Fang Bei asked quietly on the side: "You say it first, and when you finish speaking, I can give you a surprise." ”

Fang Don't give Guang Jiqi a surprise is the batch of goods that they are going to give to Wang Zhi, and with this batch of goods, the two of them even have the opportunity to meet Wang Zhi himself directly.

After all, it is an important messenger of the Guo family to give gifts to the owner of Wufeng, Wang Zhi is reasonable, and he has to meet him.

"He wants to justifiably get his wealth and power recognized by the imperial court, and he wants the sea of the Great Zhou to reopen the sun and the moon, just like the busy maritime trade during the Two Song Dynasty." Guang Jiqi said this, but there was no joy in his expression: "However, the imperial court will not negotiate a deal with a pirate. ”

"This is also the reason for the current tension on the southeast coast."

"The imperial court has raided several of Wang Zhi's strongholds, and has no intention of sitting down and negotiating with Wang Zhi."

"Now that I think about it carefully, this time the group of would-be robbers who came to attack the Shiping Guard Station behaved very abnormally, if they have nothing to do with Wang Zhi, I really don't believe it."

Fang Bei nodded, Guang Jiqi deserves to be a rare masterpiece, in fact, the information he has is quite one-sided, and he almost completely relies on his own collection, but in the end, he can get a fairly comprehensive conclusion, maybe this is the real talent of a general.

"So let's get back to the beginning." Fang Bei looked at Guang Jiqi and said lightly: "The rebellion of the Japanese invaders, you said that there are two reasons, the first is because of the chaotic situation on the Dongying side and the competition for hegemony, which led to the displacement of a large number of ronins and chose to cross the sea. ”

"The second reason is that the demand for trade along the southeast coast has always existed, and it is better to block it than to sparse it, and it is because the imperial court has been suppressing it that there will be a final behemoth like Wang Zhi who occupies the entire southeast sea and borrows the power of the Japanese to make waves."

"In that case, isn't there no way to calm down the rebellion?"

The first point is about the situation in Dongying, Da Zhou will not be kind enough to help Dongying pacify the troubled times and fight the world, then Dongying may at least have to be chaotic for more than ten years and decades before it ends.

Regarding the second point, since it is impossible for the Great Zhou to open the sea ban, but there is such a huge profit in the maritime trade, in the end, it will always be able to raise a behemoth, even if there is no Wang Zhi, there are Li Zhi, Zhao Zhi or something.

If these two points are not resolved, quelling the rebellion of the Japanese is equivalent to a castle in the air, but if you want to solve it, it is as difficult as climbing to the sky.

"I remember that Dongying swordsman didn't recruit you and let you go to Dongying to help calm down the troubled times, isn't this equivalent to saving the country by curves? You go to help Dongying unify, and in this case, there will be someone to take care of Dongying's Japanese invaders. Fang Bei gave Guang Jiqi a serious idea.

"In his position, he seeks his government." Guang Jiqi looked at Fang Bei and said quietly: "If I am the governor of Liangjiang, then I still have a little capital to solve the problem of maritime trade, after all, now that Western firearms are becoming more and more developed, I heard that there are more and more Rakshasa ghosts over there, and the red-haired people have set up camp there, and even said that they have occasionally begun to operate along the coast. ”

Don't look at Guang Jiqi, this moment is really a bit of a surprise.

Of course, those Westerners will indeed bring big trouble to Shenzhou, but that will be a hundred or two hundred years later, and the Great Zhou will be gone at that time, but Guang Jiqi can see so far away, which is really impressive.

"But that's too far away." Fang Bei said quietly: "As far as I know, those Westerners are sparsely numbered, and their temperament is quite barbaric, and they don't know etiquette at all, but they are just barbarians. ”

Guang Jiqi shook his head: "It is precisely because they are barbarians, so they are terrifying, Brother Fang may still have little time here, these foreigners are especially good at firearms, the cannons on the ship are accurate and fast, and they can also let go of the flower bombs, with the current level of firearms in the Great Zhou, it is quite far behind." ”

"If the sea ban can be lifted as soon as possible, internal and external transportation, so as not to close off the country, so as to be self-contained, if I am a great God, and finally destroyed in the hands of these barbarians, it is really emotional."

Fang Bei sighed, in fact, he didn't know these things better than Guang Jiqi, but he didn't have Guang Jiqi's feelings of family and country like Guang Jiqi, and he wouldn't think about what would happen decades or hundreds of years after his death.

The great man of chivalry is for the country and the people, but I'm afraid that I don't have the interest of becoming this great man at present.

After all, Fang Bei cherishes himself and the people around him more, and does not have the energy to protect more people.

After all, a person's power is limited.

"However, as Brother Fang said, this is too far away after all, in his position to seek his own government, I am just a small commander, and I only have three or five hundred soldiers under my command, and now I am guilty of it, so I still have to take care of the present." Guang Jiqi looked at Fang Bei and said.

"The top priority at the moment is to find a way to make meritorious contributions, especially how to deal with the current batch of thorny widows."

"In the ordinary way, this group of pirates is almost impossible to solve."

"If I am given time so that I can train calmly, then although the quality of my individual soldiers in Da Zhou is not as superb as the sword skills of the Japanese Kou, but we have a convenient location and a large number of people, if we can cooperate instead of fighting separately, I am afraid there is still a chance to fight the enemy."

"It's just that I haven't been given the opportunity to train now, and if I want to break the situation in front of me, after thinking about it, I'm afraid there is only one way."

Guang Jiqi looked at Fang Bei and said.

Fang Bei sighed and didn't speak.

He thought of what Guang Jiqi thought of as a solution.

After all, there may be only one way to plug and use it right now.

"What's the solution?" Xue Ling asked.

Huo Ying has been listening silently beside her, Guang Jiqi is her patient, and she has no one to blame as a doctor on the side.

But only at this time, Huo Ying sighed faintly: "What else can I do." ”

"Guang Jiqi needs to have an elite who can help him fight those Japanese robbers head-on, of course, he is a martial arts master seeking the Central Plains."

"The martial arts master of the Central Plains?" Xue Ling repeated a sentence before he suddenly realized: "Do you want us to help you?" ”

It's obvious.

The biggest problem that Guang Jiqi is currently facing is that Yan Jiu's own sword skills are too strong, and even Guang Jiqi has no way to compete with them, let alone others, the other Japanese under Yan Jiu are also a group of tigers and wolves, killing people like mowing grass, Guang Jiqi still remembers how the officers and soldiers of his Shiping Guard were directly run over by the other party.

The only way to combat magic is magic.

Of course, the only thing that fights against martial arts is martial arts.

If Guang Jiqi can find a master who is stronger than Yan Jiu, and can find a hero who can meet the charge of the Japanese Kou head-on, then of course there is a chance not to be captured by Yan Jiu again.

Originally, there were not many such masters in the entire rivers and lakes.

But by coincidence.

There are a few in front of Guang Jiqi.

"Yes, reluctantly." Guang Jiqi sighed: "Actually, Brother Fang revealed his identity at the beginning, probably because he didn't want to help." ”

"Hmm." was directly exposed by Guang Jiqi to his little abacus, and Fang Bei was not a little embarrassed.

There is indeed a factor in this regard, after all, no matter how big Guang Jiqi's face is, it is impossible for him to ask someone from the hive to help him.

Even if he is willing to help, Guang Jiqi and the assassins of the hive are mixed up, it is really a mess, which is basically no different from surrendering the Japanese Kou.

Of course, when he was in Los Angeles, Jinyiwei also cooperated happily with the hive in the end, but after all, it was this time and that time, and everyone just played tacit ball.

But Guang Jiqi's idea at this time was almost to let Fang Bei directly become his subordinate and help him go into battle to kill the enemy, which was the same as the nature of the enemy army.

To be honest - Xue Ling, it's almost equivalent to a Gundam.

Plus the black nothing, it's two.

"Are you really so shameless?" Fang Bei looked at Guang Jiqi and said with a sigh.

It's really a bit difficult to be invited directly like this.

"Compared with the lives of the people in the southeast, my little face is nothing." Guang Jiqi looked at Fang Bei and smiled.

"Frankly speaking, you and I didn't have this idea at first, but after talking to Brother Fang, I always feel that Brother Fang is not the same as the vicious hive assassins I originally envisioned, and besides, I really have no other way now, but to treat dead horses as live horse doctors." Guang Jiqi said quietly.

Keep looking at Fang Bei.

Fang Bei was a little helpless.

He looked at Xue Ling: "So what do you think?" ”

"Me?" Xue Ling was a little surprised.

Judging from Xue Ling's experience, such a troublesome and dangerous thing should be avoided at the first time, lest it be avoided.

He even asks for his own opinion.

And your own opinion, will you still think?

If Xue Ling was alone, Xue Ling would have agreed a long time ago.

"Yes, you." Fang Bei nodded.

"If you don't refuse, I'm willing to guard General Guangjiqi for a while." Xue Ling looked at Fang Bei and said.

This was also Xue Ling's first thought.

Fang Bei could only sigh again: "Then so be it." ”

"We can provide some limited assistance."
