Flashed on the pirate's bed, in the astonishment of the pirates, the Qinglong Glaive Knife in Wang Xuan's hand swept away, and the blade brought up a remnant, passing over the oncoming eight pirates.

Putting away the knife and standing, the eight pirates raised the steel knife in their hands and were about to slash at Wang Xuan, but with such a gesture of raising their hands, the upper body suddenly fell, blood gushed out from the broken waist like a volcanic eruption, and even the magma-like internal organs fell on the deck, and the eight people swallowed directly without even shouting.

It's just that until the moment before death, the eight people didn't feel pain, Wang Xuan's knife was too fast!

The scene of the sudden breaking of the upper body really stunned the pirates behind, and more than seventy pirates looked at Wang Xuan, who was as indifferent as a demon king, in horror, and took a step back in unison!

The corners of Wang Xuan's mouth were hooked, revealing a stunning smile, the Qinglong Yanyue Knife in his hand swung back, his feet moved, and once again left a phantom in everyone's retina, and the person had already come to the pirates, with the knife light appearing in everyone's eyes, after the knife light, more than a dozen heads flew into the sky, the plasma jumped up more than half a meter high, and the headless corpse was still standing upright on the deck, until the head that fell down smashed on the neck, and the corpse fell to the ground again.

With one knife, there is no living person within a radius of eight meters!

Compared to a long sword or something, a stab is a real battlefield killer!

Killing people is as easy as chopping melons and vegetables!

I don't know if "Ambush on All Sides" completely aroused the violent emotions in Wang Xuan's heart, or if this is his nature, after this knife, Wang Xuan cooperated with Qu Yang's passionate tune, and followed the singer in his mouth:

Men should be violent. Things and benevolence do not stand.

Men should kill people, and kill mercilessly. Immortal karma is all in killing.

In the past, there were rich men, and they were righteous and promised. The eyes are murderous, and the body is lighter than a feather.

There are also heroes and tyrants, killing people like hemp, galloping around the world, only boasting about swords and guns.

……

One sentence, one knife, one blood, one step, ten people, can't do it.

Everywhere he went, all the pirates were slashed in two, leaving only an endless gush of blood staining the entire deck!

The sky and the earth are vast, the sea is turbulent, Wang Xuan jumped out of the pirate ship with a long roar, holding the green dragon glaive knife, treading the water, a water dragon rose above the sea, and jumped to another pirate ship again.

At this time, the battlefield almost fell into a dead silence, except for Qu Yang's "Ambush on All Sides", everyone else watched Wang Xuan's every move blankly.

When Wang Xuan jumped onto a pirate ship again,

When the sword light once again swept through the sky like a thunderbolt,

When the screams of dying echoed in my ears again,

All the pirates collapsed, screaming and throwing away the weapons in their hands, and lying on the deck, including the thousand special combat team men, also knelt on one knee and looked at Wang Xuan who was standing with a knife in reverence.

The young master of the Dong family looked at the only standing figure on the battlefield in the distance with burning eyes, his eyes full of admiration and longing.

Prior to this, Young Master Dong had a lot of respect and fear for Wang Xuan, after all, Wang Xuan's powerful Fujian was still the famous murderous name, ruthless methods and unscrupulous courage to act without scruples.

But at this moment, Young Master Dong found that hidden under the fierce reputation and ruthlessness was the heroism and pride of the battlefield, and behind the unscrupulous courage was the domineering spirit of the man, which was the reason why Wang Xuan could come to this point in a short time.

Originally, Wang Xuan was going to slaughter all these pirates, after all, these people were all killers raised by those maritime merchants, not to mention that it was very difficult to surrender, and loyalty could not be guaranteed, but now, these pirates have surrendered in shock, and Wang Xuan is too lazy to kill people.

"Collect the captives!"

After the order, Wang Xuan didn't care, naturally he had his subordinates to do these tasks, and he stepped on the sea again and jumped back on the big boat, looking at the blood splashed on his body, Wang Xuan returned to the captain's room to change his clothes before coming out again.

At this time, the people on the boat had already finished interrogating Liu Heizi, the principal of the Liu family who had just been thrown back by Wang Xuan.

Even if this Liu Heizi is the son of the Liu family, he is also a very hard-boned guy on weekdays, even if he is not afraid of death, but in the hands of these torture masters under Wang Xuan, death is a luxury, just ten minutes, just plucked the skin off his hand in front of Liu Heizi's eyes, and this kid confessed everything.

Holding that confession, Wang Xuan casually glanced at it, from who the several families in this alliance were, how many people each family had produced, and stationed there respectively, the situation of the real Japanese robbers, it was clearly written and understood.

It can be said that with such information, it will be easy to completely smash the plan of Ningbo maritime merchants this time.

Normally speaking, the Ningbo maritime merchants dispatched a lot of manpower this time, with a total of more than 3,000 real and false Japanese bandits, and more than 50 large and small warships.

After all, at the end of the Ming Dynasty, the military system of the guard was erosive, a prefecture and county, not to mention the manpower who can fight and dare to fight, even the total number of weapons that can be taken is not 3,000 people, taking Fuzhou Mansion as an example, before Wang Xuan did not intervene, Fuzhou Guard Office could not get together 2,000 people even when it was reviewed, this is still the largest government in Fujian, it can be seen how the military strength of the entire Fujian is doing.

After all, these Ningbo people don't know the specific situation, especially Wang Xuan is not involved in the trade of maritime merchants, even if it is the rebellion of the Tang Dynasty, Wang Xuan dispatched only 500 people, and most of them are hidden in the shadows, and not many people are used on the surface.

The only time a large army was dispatched was when the Five Tigers Gate was destroyed, although it was 10,000 people, but everyone knew what the specific military strength was.

This led to the fact that many local wealthy families in Fujian did not understand how powerful Wang Xuan's specific power was, let alone those maritime families in Ningbo.

In this era, information exchange relies entirely on manpower, and it is an era that basically relies on roaring, and there is no network or telephone, and Ningbo maritime merchants are in accordance with the usual practice in evaluating the strength of opponents.

What is a convention?

Taking the top gentry family in a place as an example, there are no less than 10,000 acres of fertile land, no less than 3,000 green tenants, and the population under control is not less than 10,000 people.

Otherwise, if you don't do it, you will encounter bandits.

After all, it is impossible to count on the Ming soldiers, and those people will not be stronger than the tenants who farm the land.

Therefore, in the eyes of the maritime merchants led by the Liu family, these 3,000 combat power is enough to deal a heavy blow to these emerging maritime merchants in Fujian.

The battle here ended quickly, Qi Xuefeng and the others who caught up from behind didn't get a fight at all, and when they were depressed, Wang Xuan asked people to call them over with a banner.

Coming over in a small boat, Qi Xuefeng walked quickly to Wang Xuan and bowed, "I've seen Mr., I just heard that Mr. was so powerful that he could deter hundreds of pirates from being captured, which really opened the eyes of his subordinates." ”

"Alright, sit down and talk." As he spoke, Wang Xuan asked people to hand over the confession.

Qi Xuefeng picked it up and looked at it carefully, and immediately showed joy, "Sir, with this information, it will be easy to exterminate these pirates!" ”

To say that the most troublesome thing about these pirates is not how much combat power they have, but more about their elusive whereabouts, if you can't catch people, what if you can fight again? It's not that there is nowhere to use the strength.

But for now, just follow the map.

"Sir, the Lower Officials promise to exterminate these damned pirates in one fell swoop." Qi Xuefeng also knew about Wang Xuan's arrangement for various prefectures and counties to make trouble in Fujian, and he naturally took the initiative to ask for such a good opportunity for meritorious service.

Wang Xuan bowed slightly, "This extermination of pirates is also a good opportunity to train soldiers, there are still three pirates that need to be exterminated, these will be handed over to you, try to let the soldiers see blood, the elite cannot be trained, it still depends on actual combat." ”

"My subordinates understand!" Qi Xuefeng got up and gave a military salute, turned around and walked out.

That information, Young Master Dong had also read it just now, and now when he saw Qi Xuefeng leaving, he couldn't help but ask, "Sir, what about the real widows of a thousand people?" ”

"Haha!" Wang Xuan's eyes narrowed, and the murderous intent burst out in his eyes, making the entire cabin seem to hang a cold wind, "It's not easy to meet these real pirates, I naturally want to go and see it myself, compared to killing these Ming pirates, I prefer to practice knives with these pirates, to see how hard their body bones are, and whether they are particularly brittle to kill!" ”

Young Master Dong thought of Wang Xuan's demeanor just now, but instead of being frightened by that blood, he had a feeling of blood boiling, "Then let Mr. Xia accompany him to take a walk, and also see with his own eyes, whether these widows who once ravaged my Daming Sea Frontier have three heads and six arms!" ”

In the final analysis, although he is also a scholar, but he is also a man, and his personality is also different from that kind of rotten Confucianism.

After all, Young Master Dong did not enter the officialdom, and that kind of noble and martial arts thought did not have such a great impact on him, and besides, in the frontier land, the Tianguang Emperor was far away, and the public security could not be as good as the Central Plains and the rich Jiangnan, so relatively, he still attached more importance to force.

The fleet was divided into three again, the prisoners were disarmed and tied to a ship and taken away, and the remaining ships were divided into two teams, one was the 2,000 sailors led by Qi Xuefeng to exterminate the three maritime merchants, and the other was several merchant ships of the Dong family, which went straight to the station where the Japanese were stationed in Zhangzhou Prefecture.

According to the current voyage, there are about six or seven days left, and Wang Xuan and his party will be able to reach the vicinity of the destination.

……

Quanzhou Mansion, Quanzhou City, Lin Family Mansion, Backyard.

In the evening, the backyard gate was opened six times in a row, and the six carriages that looked very ordinary quietly entered the Lin family's mansion without any alarm.

There was no one within more than ten meters outside the study, and the head of the Lin family ordered the family to guard the periphery, and no one was allowed to step within ten meters.

At this moment, the lights in the huge study room were brightly lit, and seven middle-aged people about forty or fifty years old were sitting together.

Sitting at the top of the seat is the head of the Lin family, and if you have a lot of knowledge, you will find that the other six people are also the heads of the largest families in the entire Fujian Province.

These seven families all came from Xinghua, Zhangzhou, and Quanzhou, and controlled the mining, salt, iron and other businesses in the three places.

Not only that, but the number of acres of land controlled by each family in the local area is not less than 100,000 mu, and if we count some married families and dependent families, the area of cultivated land that each family can influence is no less than 300,000 mu.

During the Ming Dynasty, the area of arable land in the country was about 850 million mu, and Fujian due to geological reasons, there was a saying that there were nine points of mountains and rivers and one division of fields, and the arable land mask was only more than 8 million mu, and most of the 8 million mu of cultivated land was concentrated in the four plains of Fujian.

These four plains are Fuzhou Plain, Xinghua Plain, Zhangzhou Plain, and Quanzhou Plain.

These seven families are the largest seven families entrenched in the three plains, and the land directly controlled by the seven families is close to one million mu, reaching one-eighth of the entire Fujian, and if the land that can be affected is counted, it can reach a quarter of the entire Fujian.

And that's not even counting the mines and other industries that are in their hands.

It can be said that in the Ming Dynasty, a feudal society with agriculture as the main body, these seven families were a small group of people who were entrenched at the top of the whole Fujian, and could effectively affect the economic and social stability of the whole Fujian.

Of course, this is talking about before Wang Xuan's rise, and now, the richest and most influential in the whole Fujian is Wang Xuan, and there is only Wang Xuan.

Wang Xuan has gone beyond the normal category, standing at the top of everyone, and below him are the big families that used to be.

After all, the benefits of land are simply not comparable to those of industry.

Not to mention anything else, the annual profits generated by the two iron mines and steel mills alone are almost comparable to the profits generated by the millions of acres of land of the seven families.

What's more, Wang Xuan also controls the largest port city in Fujian.

Of course, Wang Xuan has never underestimated these big families, after all, the cultivated land under his control is too large, and the annual grain production has to feed one-eighth of the population of the whole body, even he is not willing to easily provoke these seven major families.

Therefore, when the 'Marine Business Association' was established, Wang Xuan deliberately bypassed them and chose a few families that were slightly worse than them.

Otherwise, with their own heritage, once these seven families joined the salt industry and sea trade, they would inevitably explode quickly, and Wang Xuan didn't want to cultivate a few behemoths to make trouble for himself.

It can be said that Wang Xuan has always been on guard against several major families, of course, the major families themselves can also feel the hostility of the past, after all, Wang Xuan almost didn't take them to play in all of his business, isn't this obvious enough?

Moreover, some of the families supported by Wang Xuan have already had the intention of catching up with them in the past two years, after all, they have money!

"Ahem." The head of the Lin family coughed lightly to attract everyone's attention, and then said slowly: "Gather everyone here today, I think everyone knows the reason, recently, we have made trouble in Fujian." ”

"Humph!" The head of the Wang family snorted coldly, and the fat on his face trembled a few times, "Isn't it the proper meaning to make trouble?" I really thought that we didn't know how profitable the sea trade was, but those families in Jiangnan were easy to get along with, and the court couldn't do anything about them, these guys rushed out as soon as Wang Xuan was instigated, and it would be strange if they didn't make trouble! ”

"You say, who wins and who loses this time?"

"It must be those sea merchants in Ningbo, after all, these families have a deep heritage, and they are not something that these new entrants can resist, besides, the news that came back recently is not to be said, these guys can't bear the heavy losses."

"I don't think so, as far as I know, these guys have gone to find that Wang Xuan together, and they are going to ask Wang Xuan to deal with those Zhejiang people."

After saying this, the room immediately fell silent, and a group of people frowned and stopped talking, although they didn't know how much strength Wang Xuan had, but if Wang Xuan's hard power was not as good as those maritime merchants, they wouldn't believe it.

Just the two mines and steel mills, employing tens of thousands of people, these days, the green shape is equal to combat power to a certain extent, after all, you can easily become an army by pulling it out for training.

This is not counting the Fuzhou Guards controlled by Wang Xuan, although they don't know what the combat strength is, but they know that the troops are at full strength, 5,600 people!

Of course, compared to Wang Xuan's industry, this is not much, after all, it takes a lot of people to take care of the mines and steel mills to maintain law and order, not to mention the port city.

And Wang Xuan's products also need the help of these maritime merchants to digest, so it is almost certain that Wang Xuan will make a move!

"Well, if he makes a move, it's really hard to say."

"Damn, the ghost knows why such a demon suddenly appeared, it's so bold that even the dignified Tang King dares to frame him."

"There is no sound in the court about this?" A head of the house said with some resentment.

"There is a fart voice, the raw rice is cooked and cooked, besides, who dares to overturn the case for the Tang King, this is a case of rebellion by the vassal king, everyone is too late to dodge, and there is no interest, who is full of the original intention to reach out and touch it, in case it is framed by the opponent, then it will not be able to eat and walk around."

"Yes, this is a puddle of shit, no one wants to step on it, and besides, he has recovered so much land for the imperial court, hehe, the emperor may not be happy in private!"

"Dangdangdang."

The head of the Lin family knocked on the table with a dark face, and asked everyone to come to discuss whether it was necessary for everyone to participate in this trouble, but while chatting, the building was crooked......

"The matter of Tang Wang has passed, let's not discuss it, let's talk about this widow."

"What does it have to do with our seven families, whether it's good or bad or not, it won't affect us."

"Not necessarily!" The Lin family master tapped his fingers on the table, "Everyone doesn't want to think about it, if Wang Xuan is defeated this time?" What's more, if Wang Xuan dies, what will be the consequences, have you ever thought about it? ”

The words of the Lin family master immediately made everyone's faces appear in shock, and then, one by one, they frowned and pondered, and their faces changed.
