"It seems that although Brother Wang is a nobleman, he hasn't forgotten much...... You are naturally a smart person who has been able to build such a large foundation, and you must know the purpose of our trip!"

Wang Zhitong knelt down with a puff and said, "Young Master Gu spares his life! I'm going to prove your innocence and expose Bai Xiangyao's true colors...... As long as you are willing to spare my life, then everything is negotiable!"

can start from scratch, from a market disciple to the founding of the country, Wang Zhi's ability is comparable to that of ordinary people, since it fell into the hands of others, he immediately went to find a way to beg for mercy and save his life!

Gu Zhen sneered, this traitor colluded with the Japanese and harmed countless Li people, since it fell into his own hands, he should definitely not be let go...... But now there is still a place to use him, so it is better to promise him for the time being, and then change the hexagram in the future.

However, Xiao Qiuyu suddenly interjected: "You can live if you want, as long as you work for me in the future, at that time, I will not only let you live, but also assist you in annexing several other big widows." When you are strong, we can do a great job!"

Gu Jin's face changed greatly, and he hurriedly advised, "Master, don't do that thing that goes against heavenly justice and justice!"

In his opinion, Xiao Qiuyu seemed to be planning to co-opt Wang Zhi, and then continue to annex other Japanese bandits, become the leader of the contemporary Japanese bandits, and dominate the entire East China Sea, which Gu Zhen could not tolerate no matter what.

Xiao Qiuyu naturally saw what he was thinking, and said, "Don't worry, I'm not asking him to gather people to attack Daming...... On the contrary, I hope that he will attack the Wa Kingdom!"

Wang Zhi's eyelids jumped, completely frightened by this shocking sentence.

The reason why Xiao Qiuyu chose Wang Zhi was actually after careful consideration, and his kidnapping of Wang Zhi was definitely not just to clear Gu Jin's grievances.

Unlike several other Japanese leaders, Wang Zhi is a very special person...... Although he is the leader of the Japanese Bandits, he is an authentic Han Chinese.

And he is the most powerful Han Chinese in Japan for thousands of years, because he is the king of Japan.

When Wang Zhi was young, he teamed up with fox friends Xu Weixue, Ye Zongman and others to leave their hometown and come to the coastal areas of Guangdong when the ban on the Ming Sea was relaxed. They began to build huge warships and merchant ships, carrying precious commodities such as sulfur, silk cotton, and porcelain unique to the Ming Dynasty to trade and do business in Japan and Southeast Asian countries, earning a large amount of foreign exchange income.

Once there is too much money, naturally there are many Japanese robbers who are worried about Wang Zhi's fleet and keep robbing him...... was robbed more times, and Wang Zhi began to recruit thugs to defend his rights...... Soon, Wang Zhi discovered that robbery was faster than making money from business, so he continued to rob other pirates, co-opted them, and turned them into his own men.

In this way, Wang Zhi assisted the imperial court to exterminate many pirate forces and maintain order along the coast. Within a few years, Wang Zhi annexed a large number of pirates, gathered more than a few thousand fighting troops under his command, gradually established himself as the supremacy of the sea, and tried to rebuild the prosperity of Shuangyu Port in Zhoushan Ligang.

However, Xiao Xian, Deng Wenjun, Lin Bichuan, and Shen Men in Fujian, He Yaba in Guangdong, and some of Wang Zhi's subordinates, such as Xu Hai and others, took refuge in the Japanese and assisted them in invading the Ming Dynasty.

As soon as this incident came out, Wang Zhi was immediately suspicious of the imperial court, and in order to express his heartfelt feelings to the imperial court, Wang Zhi immediately cooperated with the imperial court to eliminate the Japanese invaders.

However, the Japanese were cunning and cunning, and Wang Zhi was never able to exterminate them, and he was unable to restrain his subordinates...... Therefore, Wang Zhi was considered to be the mastermind behind this incident, and the Ming officers and soldiers attacked Wang Zhi's headquarters at night and destroyed its main altar overnight, and Wang Zhi had to flee to Japan after that war.

Looking back on his life, he was really a little helpless when he was forced to go to Liangshan.

After escaping to Japan, the Japanese princes at that time were numerous, and Wang Zhi took Maji Mountain on Jintang Island as a base, recruited outlaws, built huge ships, and started a pirate business.

Under the protection of his own pirate team, Wang Zhi smuggled and robbed on a large scale, and accumulated a huge fortune in a very short time.

In addition, Wang Zhi also obtained a large number of foreign guns through transactions with Spain, Portugal, the Netherlands and other countries, and the pirate legion that had been hit hard even exceeded its heyday, with as many as 5,000 people.

It is precisely because of Wang Zhi that foreign guns have flowed into Japan.

With so many advanced firearms and soldiers, the Wang Zhi clique was naturally invincible and completely monopolized the maritime trade and arms business. According to historical records, "the Kou of the sea shall not survive unless he is directly controlled by (Wang)." In other words, if you mix at sea, as long as you don't listen to Wang Zhi, you will soon be annihilated.

In the thirty-first year of Jiajing (1552 AD), Wang Zhi led his pirate army to capture Nagasaki, Japan, when the Japanese warlords were fighting, Wang Zhi announced the establishment of the Song State in Nagasaki, and called himself "King Hui" (Wang Zhi was a native of Anhui).

At that time, Japan was the famous Warring States period, that is, the period when the village chief fought a war...... At that time, the lords and daimyo of various places were just a group of village chiefs and town heads, the largest warlords, and the army under his command was only about 3,000 people, not only could not compare to Wang Zhi in terms of numbers, but also not a grade in terms of weapons and equipment.

So an extremely funny scene appeared, a Chinese, seized the land of the Japanese, and then established a country here and became king, but none of the local daimyo in Japan dared to stand up against it, all of them were only Wang Zhima, "the 36 islands are all under their command."

These Japanese warlords were afraid of Wang Zhi, because as long as any warlord was disobedient, Wang Zhi would sell a large number of foreign guns to his enemies, or directly cooperate with other warlords to kill him.

Under this deterrence, the Japanese warlords did not dare to disobey. However, Wang Zhi's main purpose in coming to Japan was to make money, and he destroyed all the Japanese pirates at sea, monopolized Japan's trade routes, and became a maritime hegemon for a while.

Moreover, Wang Zhi was different from other Japanese robbers, Wang Zhi's purpose was not to plunder wealth, but to "blackmail the government and open the port and open the city", the meaning of these eight words is very clear, and the Ming government was required to abandon the outdated maritime ban policy and legalize maritime trade.

A Chinese occupies the territory of Japan, and then establishes a state here and becomes king, which is simply a naked slap in the face of all Japanese people...... However, everyone, including the Japanese emperor and the shogunate leader, dared not speak out, and even curried favor with Wang Zhi, because only in this way did Wang Zhi be willing to sell them more foreign guns.

If Xu Hai and others were acting as lackeys for the Japanese invaders, then Wang Zhi was completely reversed, and it was the Japanese who acted as lackeys for him.
