Chapter 498: Confrontation
The problem of face cannot be underestimated, especially for the Ming court, this point, of course, Wang Zhi can understand.
If you want to join the imperial court, you have to pay the certificate of surrender, and the question is, where do the hundreds or thousands of Japanese people come from?
Wang Zhi was very embarrassed, and it was okay to be embarrassed, in fact, his first thought was to kill the good and take the merits, and the officials and soldiers did it, and he Wang Zhi naturally did it. But...... It seems that people want real 'credit'.
Wang Gonggong's words, in fact, Wang Zhi believed it, because it was very consistent with the information he had given to him from some officials in Zhejiang, and there was no flaw.
It is also a very legitimate request for the other party to show his sincerity.
Wang Zhi is a wolf, but he can be regarded as half a trader, of course the people who do business know the truth that if they want to get something, they must give up something, 10,000 profits, then they can only be robbed, but such a behemoth as the Ming court, even if you can rob him once, if he is cross-minded, sooner or later he will strangle you.
So...... There has to be a part.
What Wang Zhi is most worried about is another question, what if after paying the vote, people turn their faces and refuse to admit the account? This is a new problem, Wang Zhi is not stupid, of course he will not believe in any ghosts, and the name is to cut the meat, and the meat is sold, which is empty of people and money.
This involves the issue of mutual trust, and people like Wang Zhi will certainly not believe in the imperial court with all their hearts.
He couldn't make up his mind for a while, and the prince had already stood up after saying all the good things, and said with a smile: "Okay, what should be said has been said, no matter how much you say, it's useless, the most important thing is what you do, can our family say goodbye?" ”
Wang Zhi didn't dare to slack off. said: "Father-in-law, please, Wang sent his father-in-law out of the city." ”
Wang Gonggong also breathed a sigh of relief, smiled and went out with Wang Zhi, went down the city tower, Wang Zhi ordered someone to open the city gate, at this time, Li Guangtou came over with a knife and shouted: "This eunuch can't go!" ”
Lee is bald and has a reckless personality. But in the sea, he can live to this day, and naturally he has a side that is as careful as a hair. Just now, the prince called him out and talked with Wang Zhi about what they were talking about. No one knows, who knows that this king will not sell himself in order to join the court? As between Wang Zhi and the imperial court, neither side dared to fully trust each other, and the same was true between Li Guangtou and Wang Zhi, on the surface, the two sides were cooperating, but after all, the cooperation was only temporary. Now that everyone is on land and there are many crises, if Li Guangtou doesn't pay more attention, who knows what the outcome will be?
After he went out. I felt more and more that something was wrong, and immediately found a few leaders of the Fujian family and the leader of the Franco machine to discuss, and after discussion, everyone decided not to pay attention to the imperial court. It's better to do a big job in Hangzhou and break through. Run away.
Since this is the case, Wang Zhi cannot be allowed to negotiate with the court to achieve any results, and the most direct way is to keep the eunuch surnamed Wang, or simply kill him, cutting off Wang Zhi's back road.
Wang Zhi's face was gloomy and he glanced at Li Guangtou.
And the prince's face showed a little fear, although he was scared before he came, now he can live up to his mission and return to the camp safely, who knows that there is a change at this time.
Li Guangtou had already walked over under the support of dozens of widows, and glanced at the prince and father-in-law: "This eunuch can't go!" ”
Wang Zhi stepped forward and said, "Ship Master Li, what do you mean by this?" ”
Li Guangtou laughed: "What do I want to do?" I also want to ask you, what do you want to do, Wang shipmaster, for the sake of your fame and fortune, but you want to put your brothers to death, brothers are thieves for one day, thieves for life, what kind of recruitment, it is simply a joke! Lao Tzu was born as a thief and is at ease, if he wants to rob his mother, he will rob his mother, and if he wants to kill people, he will kill people, I am like this, and you are the same, but what do you mean now? I have already discussed with my brothers, take this dead eunuch today, use him to sacrifice the flag, and from today onwards, we will plunder in this city of Hangzhou for two days, and then break through to the sea! ”
He shouted, "Do it!" ”
The dozens of would-be robbers behind him were eager to try, but seeing Wang Zhi in front of him, they didn't dare to do so, and although the hand holding the knife was tightly clenched, they didn't dare to draw the knife out.
Wang Zhi's eyes swept over a trace of murderous intent, and he glanced at Li Guangtou fiercely, he knew in his heart that once he let this Li Guangtou succeed, he would lose all the games, and he had worked hard to lay out this game, seeing that he had seen the dawn, his long-cherished wish was fulfilled, and he must not let Li Guangtou, a fool, do anything bad, his eyes narrowed, and he said coldly: "Who dares to do it?" ”
Four prosaic words, together they have endless power.
Wang Zhi has been in Wang Yang for more than ten years, the name of the owner of the Wufeng ship has long been famous all over the world, and those people who beg for a life on the sea are not afraid of him, his prestige is revealed, and the dozens of widows brought by Li Guangtou all lowered their heads, not daring to look at Wang Zhi.
At this time, Wang Zhi's henchmen also heard the wind and rushed to the scene one after another, swords and guns unsheathed, and swords rattling.
Wang turned to the side, and no longer looked at Li Guangtou, but said to the prince: "If the prince is talking about it, Wang will consider it, so that the prince is frightened, and ask the father-in-law to go out of the city." ”
The city gate had been opened, and the prince boarded the car with some fear, and did not say much, and the coachman was also frightened, and he was busy driving out of the city.
Li Guangtou watched the carriage go out of the city hatefully, and then glanced at Wang Zhi fiercely, and said, "Master Wang, what did that eunuch talk to you about?" ”
Wang Zhilai intended to tell the truth and summon the shipowners to discuss the matter, so as to show his sincerity, but as for how to meet the request of the Qincha, it is another matter. After all, Wang Zhi's bargaining chip is this gang of widows, so everyone must unite sincerely, otherwise once the sand is scattered, there is no need for the court to even talk.
But Li Guangtou came out like this, which made him realize that this Li Guangtou was a stone in front of him, and from the beginning, everyone had no mutual trust at all, since this is the case......
Inadvertently, Wang Zhi was already laughing, but in the depths of his smiling eyes, there was already a trace of murderous intent.
Wang said casually: "I didn't talk about anything, the requirements of the imperial court are too much, but I am not in a hurry, let's talk slowly, as long as you and I occupy Hangzhou steadily, we don't have to play tricks with them." ”
Li bald his head smiled, turned around and left.
Dozens of would-be pirates hurriedly followed him and hurried away.
Wang Zhi's eyes narrowed, and a henchman stepped forward and said, "Ship Master Wang, it's okay, this surnamed Li is too bold, if we don't arrive in time, I'm afraid they will ......."
Wang Zhi said lightly: "It's okay, it's just a clown who jumps off the beam, there are many such people at sea, and they are lucky to have today, but they don't know the changes in the situation, sailing against the wind, such people, it's useless to keep them." ”
"Let our brethren take care of our brethren."
Wang straightened his hands behind his back, his thin body looked a little haggard, he couldn't help but think of something, hundreds of thousands of human heads, who are the Japanese robbers?
It is already obvious that Hangzhou City has a tendency to get out of control, and it will not be long before the resistance of these bold Hangzhou people will become more and more, and with more than 3,000 people, it will not last long.
Hangzhou is their bargaining chip, and this chip cannot be lost, so ...... He had to make a decision as best he could, otherwise it would be impossible to bargain at that time.
And Li Guangtou and these people, they don't have any overall view at all, what they want is nothing more than to desperately break through after looting, and they can go as much as they can, what is the use of keeping such people? On the contrary, the more this continues, it will become a stumbling block for yourself.
He glanced at the clouds in the sky, and a thought popped up in his heart: "It's time to make a plan early!" ”
……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
Li Guangtou returned to Qingchun Gate angrily, this is his lair, the conflict is not deep, but Li Guangtou has realized that the eunuch surnamed Wang must have reached some kind of agreement with the owner of the ship, Wang Zhi is cunning and changeable, has always been insidious, and he has not much trust when he cooperates with him, and now he is worried that Wang Zhi secretly made peace with Da Ming and sold himself backhanded.
He squinted, and the owner of the Xu Ship had already come in, and said in a low voice: "The people of the King Ship Owner have strengthened their vigilance recently, Brother Li, what do they mean by this?" ”
Li Guangtou said with a smile: "The surname Wang is clearly guarding against you and me, hum, how nice it sounded before, what went ashore, everyone is on the same boat, we must be sincere and united, this surnamed Wang has always been cunning, it seems that he is determined to give Daming as a slave and a maid." ”
Xu Zhi said: "Actually...... There is nothing wrong with Zhao'an, didn't the owner of the king say, as long as the court recruits An, we can trade openly, and we don't have to worry as much as before. ”
Li Guangtou smiled coldly: "What do you know?" Even if the imperial court has this plan, but how can others be allowed to snore under the couch, Ship Master Li only thinks that he will recruit him alone, and may not tolerate you and me, otherwise he has a franchise, and I also have a franchise, wouldn't it be cheap for you and me, in my opinion, he wants to eat alone, and he and the eunuch surnamed Wang must have colluded a long time ago. Let's say that he did his best in the end, and he became his vote. Don't we people who sail on the sea still understand that there is no trustworthy person in this world, the court can't trust it, and the surname Wang can't believe it. ”
Xu Zhen was stunned and said, "But what should I do now?" ”
Li Guangtou said viciously: "There is no way, let's go, let's go back to our sea, the surname Wang has already been guarded against us, it is not easy to move him, if he colludes with the official army, we will die without a place to be buried, let's leave tonight and break out!" ”
