Chapter 250: Interests

Wei Zhongxian froze.

Then he looked at the Emperor of the Apocalypse, and it was time to show his talent.

"The thief ...... of the North Batian"

"You don't have to be called a thief." The Emperor of the Apocalypse said lightly: "I plan to appease, I don't plan to treat the thief for the time being, I posted the emperor's list, for so long, it's just this Northern Tyrant to contact, it's rare to have such a person, and he is still regarded as a thief, other pirates, how can they be attached to it?" ”

As he spoke, he continued with hatred: "If you don't recruit pirates, there will be no people and ships, and if you don't have people and ships, how can you make a profit?" How to raise shares without making a profit? You don't understand this truth, so you can continue. ”

So Wei Zhongxian stopped talking nonsense, and said: "Beibatian, this person, is a giant in the sea, although not as good as Wang Zhi, but in the Beihai area, everyone hears about the tiger's color, this person is cruel and easy to kill, I don't know how many people's blood is stained in his hands, and the people who are attached to him under his head, I don't know how many, according to the calculation of the slave and maid, I don't dare to say much, but there are at least two or three thousand people, these two or three thousand people, with him across the ocean, but whenever he encounters a ship, he will plunder, often slaughtering the other party's ship. ”

When the Emperor of the Apocalypse heard this, he immediately gasped.

Good guys, these pirates are really cruel.

Wei Zhongxian said again: "Sometimes, there will be some pirates along the coast who secretly land on the shore, and finally be captured by the government, especially on the southeast coast, and get sporadic pirates. No matter what is good, as long as a man falls into his hands, there is no one who will not be killed. And this man is extremely cunning, the most stubborn, Your Majesty...... In fact, the slave maid thought that if the Zheng family from the East China Sea was willing to talk, it would be the best. The Zheng family's lair is mainly in the area of Wadao, although they also loot, but they are mainly smuggling ships, at least they will reason with people to some extent, but this Beihai Beitian is different. ”

The Emperor of the Apocalypse frowned, and couldn't help but say, "In this way, if I talk to such a person, it will be a firefight?" ”

Wei Zhongxian said: "This person is capricious, and everyone knows that he is in the ocean. Especially those who were caught, as long as they asked about the things in the sea, no one said good things about them. The slave wants to come...... Recruiting such a person is tantamount to seeking skin with a tiger. ”

This is the truth, Wei Zhongxian has indeed done his homework.

The Emperor of the Apocalypse paced back and forth with his hands behind his back, looking sullen, and said, "I am in a hurry to need ships and manpower now, this person can gallop on the sea, if it can be used by me, it is the best." But, according to you, this man is so cruel that I am suspicious. So is Zheng's reputation good? ”

Wei Zhongxian said: "The Zheng family is a private businessman, and it is not mainly about plundering, but the slaves and maids want to come, if Your Majesty carries out shipping, it will infringe on their interests, so naturally they are reluctant to come to negotiate with Your Majesty." ”

The Emperor of the Apocalypse sighed: "In this way, if you don't recruit the Zheng family, you can only make a fuss about this Northern Overlord." ”

"You must be cautious when negotiating with someone like Beibatian." Wei Zhongxian said: "Such a person is faithless and unrighteous, and kills people, but he needs to be careful of the embankment the most." ”

The Emperor of the Apocalypse asked again, "Is this person a Han Chinese?" ”

Wei Zhongxian said: "This, I don't know, maybe it's right." ”

"Can't even find this?"

Wei Zhongxian said truthfully: "These ocean thieves are doing the business of licking blood with knives, and after going to the sea, they changed their faces and never mentioned their past, so that their clansmen would not be implicated, and they would not be able to find out." ”

The Emperor of the Apocalypse did not blame Wei Zhongxian, he could understand.

At this time, Wei Zhongxian said again: "But the slave maid thinks that this person must be a Han person." ”

"How so?"

"There are two kinds of Haikou, one is that the Han clan has moved overseas, such as the Zheng clan in the East China Sea and the Li clan in the South China Sea, their families are small, and they have already settled in Wadao or Luzon (the Philippines), so they are not afraid of revealing their identities. There is also a kind of people who always show themselves by their own name, which proves that this person is very taboo about this, and they must have relatives who are still on the mainland. ”

The Emperor of the Apocalypse held his chin: "I understand, it seems that you have done some homework, so should I talk about it?" ”

The Emperor of the Apocalypse looked hesitant.

Wei Zhongxian looked at the Emperor of the Apocalypse, but said silently in his heart, how do we know whether to talk about it or not, isn't this still Your Majesty's decision? How do you feel like you're testing us?

So he smiled and said: "It depends on what Your Majesty says, Your Majesty's decision is always sage." ”

The Emperor of the Apocalypse seemed to have made a decision at this time, so he said categorically: "Then let's talk, I can't wait any longer, the hundred-year-old navy, have you heard of it?" ”

Wei Zhongxian shook his head.

Emperor Apocalypse said: "I didn't understand before, this is what Zhang Qing said, will I wait for a hundred years before I have ships and personnel?" If I didn't have the East India Company, I would have given all these thousands of miles of blue waves to others! Huge profits in the sea, Franc machine people are desirable, Japanese people are desirable, private businessmen are also desirable, why can't I take it? ”

After that, he changed his words and said, "Has Zhang Qing arrived?" ”

Wei Zhongxian's heart was sour and envious.

It seems that Zhang Jingyi is becoming more and more weighty in His Majesty's heart!

After more than half an hour, Zhang Jingyi was late.

After seeing the Emperor of the Apocalypse, the Emperor of the Apocalypse told Zhang Jingyi about the matter of Beibatian.

Zhang Jingyi said: "Congratulations to Your Majesty." ”

The Emperor of the Apocalypse complained slightly: "Congratulations! It's all to blame Wei for being useless, I thought that those pirates would come to work one after another, who knows that left and right waited, only one Bei Batian came. ”

Zhang Jingyi couldn't help coughing, this nickname is a bit of a middle two.

The Emperor of the Apocalypse said, "What do you think? ”

Zhang Jing said: "It's very simple, four words, standing wood is a letter!" ”

After hearing this, the Emperor of the Apocalypse immediately understood, and immediately became happy again, and said: "Zhang Qing is really far-sighted, and he believes in the wood, which is good...... If even such pirates can't be appeased, then how can other pirates believe in the sincerity of the imperial court? Without credit, the East India Company would not have been able to do it! I have already thought about it, I have to talk about it no matter what, I think about it, there are not many people who can talk to this pirate, Wei has a bad reputation with him, I can see it. It is definitely not appropriate for him to go, but if it is too late for others to oppose it, where is he willing to talk about it? ”

"I think about it, there is only Zhang Qing, Zhang Qing, you need to go to Tianjin Wei, meet the pirate, and then act cheaply."

Of course Zhang Jingyi knows this result, and the current Emperor of the Apocalypse is already interested in interests! Very good, Zhang Jingyi is afraid that the Emperor of the Apocalypse is not greedy.

It is necessary to know that all earth-shaking changes are nothing more than driven by two forces, either by the concept of tens of millions of people, or by interests.

It is impossible to expect the Emperor of the Apocalypse to have the consciousness of the former.

But it's not bad to have the latter, and now those European monarchs have set up the East India Company one after another and worked hard to build ships, isn't it also a matter of interest?

So Zhang Jing said: "The minister must live up to His Majesty's expectations." ”

"It's just that this Northern Tyrant is ferocious, Zhang Qing is in Tianjin, he must not be instigated by the other party, he wants to talk, and his sincerity can also be shown, but he must be careful."

Zhang Jing said, "Yes." Yes, after all, the minister's level is not high, and since I am the chief envoy of the Qin, I still need a deputy envoy. ”

"Deputy?" The Emperor of the Apocalypse looked at Zhang Jingyi in surprise: "Who is good?" ”

Zhang Jingyi said: "Zhang Guangqian in the Ministry of Langzhong, only eight buckets high, very strategic, and sharp, if he is willing to be a deputy, go to Tianjin Wei with the minister, the minister can rest assured." ”

The Emperor of the Apocalypse glanced at Wei Zhongxian.

Wei Zhongxian's face was expressionless and he didn't give any response.

The Emperor of the Apocalypse said: "Okay, that's it, I will issue an order, you hurry up and clean up and make your trip as soon as possible." ”

Zhang Jingyi saluted: "Obey the order." ”

……

This errand is actually just a preliminary negotiation, so to a certain extent, it is more of a tourist nature.

Of course, this has actually caused an uproar in the capital, and the hundred officials are very suspicious of His Majesty's bent on appeasing the pirates, and there are countless people who use this to criticize.

It's a pity that the Emperor of the Apocalypse is Wang Ba who eats the scales this time, and he is iron-hearted!

Whoever prevents me from getting rich will be killed.

He also ordered Wei Zhongxian to send cavalry to monitor the movements of hundreds of officials, and this time...... The attitude speaks for itself.

The officials of the Ming Dynasty have one good thing, that is, there is no danger, they can probably scold, and they can speak as fast as they can for three days and three nights without stopping.

Only everyone noticed that something was wrong, although they were also yin and yang, but they didn't dare to be so intense.

Being killed by the court staff is often a matter of playfulness.

Zhang Jingyi then set off and rushed to Tianjin.

He brought some entourage, and Wang Cheng led more than a dozen brocade-clothed guards, as well as the third teaching team, and also set off on orders, and dispatched forty or fifty people.

plus the other personnel, there were as many as 100 people, with the holy decree, and by the way, they brought the light with them.

Zhang Guangqian heard that he was going to negotiate with the pirates, which was like a bolt from the blue.

Who is he, he is a minister, his identity is unspeakably expensive, what are you going to talk to about that pirate? Not to mention that these people are stubborn, even if he says a word to the other party, it will ruin his reputation.

But when the holy decree came down, he didn't give him time to react, and then he was carried away by the brocade guard, he was like a big girl on a sedan chair, shouting and breaking his throat, but he was helpless.

This road is full of apprehension, and in a blink of an eye, it is already Tianjin Wei.

Tianjin Wei is here, in fact, it is like a great enemy.

The local Jinyi Wei Qianhu and Tianjin Wei guards, as well as the town guard eunuchs, came to greet Zhang Jingyi.

but the local magistrate did not come.

Zhang Jingyi is the identity of the Qincha, and he is also a celebrity around His Majesty, so it stands to reason that the status of these three people is not below Zhang Jingyi.

However, these three people were respectful, so that Zhang Jingyi finally had a little pleasure in going to the countryside to guide the work.

………………

Chapter 2 is delivered.
