So he simply used his advantage to contact those former pirates, and now the maritime merchants. There are many officials from Jiangnan in the Plum Blossom Society, and these officials have many contacts with each other, and they naturally have contacts with the gentry who sell goods overseas.

And those gentry naturally had a close relationship with the maritime merchants, so Hu Zhiyu contacted many maritime merchants step by step. He originally wanted to add some trouble to Liu Haojia through these maritime merchants and make some fortune by the way, but he found that these maritime merchants had already been unified, and a pirate king similar to the owner of the Wufeng ship had appeared!

And this pirate king is not as flamboyant as the owner of the Wufeng ship, he is very low-key! It is so low-key that most people in the world don't know that the maritime merchants have been united!

Moreover, after these pirates were united, they had a source of food, medicine, and even weapons and gunpowder, and their dependence on the shore was greatly reduced, and now those gentry could no longer control them! Moreover, Hu Zhiyu found out that the pirate king seemed to be quite close to Wu Ninghou, and bowed down to him, which made it even more difficult for him to start! Look at the book

Just when Hu Zhiyu was about to stop, the news suddenly came that Liu Haojia was going to go on an expedition to the Japanese Kingdom, which made him feel as if he had seen an opportunity! So he waited patiently for the news of the Japanese kingdom to come!

But to his surprise, Liu Haojia's expedition to the Japanese Kingdom not only did not fail, but came back with a large amount of money, which made him feel very frustrated! But this also made him understand one thing, there are really big profits overseas!

At this time, it suddenly occurred to him that if he could really hold these maritime merchants in his hands, wouldn't he be the uncrowned king of the sea? So he calculated repeatedly, and found that as long as Liu Haojia was killed, the foundation of the maritime merchants would be damaged, and if he used the method of co-optation and division, these pirates would be used by him!

Moreover, Liu Haojia also provided him with a new idea to expand profits, that is, to use these pirates to go out and loot, and wouldn't it be more profitable to sit on the ground and share the spoils? That's why he thought of pushing Liu Haojia to go out to patrol the border, and then kill him in the way that the Mongols ambushed him!

Zhang Yuanfeng's eyes lit up after listening to Hu Zhiyu's plan, and then he was sure that Hu Zhiyu was telling the truth! And he was also shocked by Liu Haojia's silver mountain, it seems that the fastest money in the world is robbery! So he said without hesitation: "It is incumbent upon him to do something for the national hoe girl!"

Hu Zhiyu smiled and said, "If the Zhang family can participate, it will naturally be more certain, after all, your Zhang family is more familiar with the outside of the side wall."

But Zhang Yuanfeng said with a straight face: "The head of the club, what I said next is that I want to participate!"

Hu Zhiyu was stunned for a moment when he heard this, then he smiled and said, "It's okay, but I don't know how many tribes Brother Zhang Xian can talk about without relying on the Zhang family?"

Hu Zhiyu was not surprised at all by Zhang Yuanfeng's sudden idea! You must know that the current Ming Dynasty is a clan society, and the patriarch is in charge of almost everything in the family! Although Zhang Yuanfeng is in power in the Zhang family and looks very beautiful, to put it bluntly, he is just a big shopkeeper under Zhang Siwei! It's just that this big shopkeeper has a little bit of shares, and he can make a little bit of money!

Now that he sees the opportunity to be his owner, how can he not seize it! Moreover, Hu Zhiyu believes that Zhang Yuanfeng has mastered the Zhang family's business for so many years, and he must have some savings and manpower in private! Even if it is not enough, he can borrow a little bit in the name of the Zhang family to achieve what he wants!

Sure enough, I only heard Zhang Yuanfeng say, "Don't worry, the head of the society will say that there is no problem in moving the two tribes to do it!" It's just that I don't know which tribe the head of the society can contact, so we need to coordinate in the middle!"

After the two reached an agreement, they worked out a rough plan. The initial plan was for Hu Zhiyu to arrange for someone to push Liu Haojia to patrol the border. I think that many people in the court don't like him, so it's better to send him outside the side wall, at least out of sight! If it's a slip on the outside of the side wall, that's even better! So the two quickly came to an agreement and finalized the plan.

Ten days later, when the turmoil in Yinshan was still spreading among the people, a man from the Ministry of War posted a notebook and asked the cabinet whether it had assigned the task of patrolling the border this year. If there was an arrangement, he suggested that Wu Anjun go out of the side wall. The reason is that the Wu'an Army has not long been formed, and the soldiers have no experience and need to be tempered!

This recital goes up step by step according to various procedures, and everyone who comes into contact with it does not hesitate to pass it. When the recital was passed to the cabinet, it naturally transferred to Zhang Siwei. He could have approved it directly, but for some reason he always had to say hello to Zhang Juzheng.

So he walked up to Zhang Juzheng with the notebook and said, "Shousuke, look at this notebook."

Zhang Juzheng put down his pen and took the playbook to read, and after reading it, he turned his head and glanced at Zhang Siwei deeply before he said: "There is some truth in what is said in the playbook, this kind of new army team always has to beat some. Anyway, it's been quiet outside the side wall for a long time, so it's okay to go out for a spin, so you can just approve it!"

Zhang Siwei said, "Shoufu, how many people should go out this time?"

Zhang Juzheng thought about it and said, "It is said that there are as many as 10,000 people in the Wu'an army, but there are no need for those many people to patrol the border, so just send out 3,000 people! Although the library has some savings now, it is not the time to spend it."

Zhang Siwei nodded in agreement, then went back to his seat to give instructions, and transferred the notebook out. When the recital book arrived in the inner study, Feng Bao was also smoothly dressed in red here. It's settled!

Speaking of which, Feng Bao doesn't have a good impression of Liu Haojia! Because since Liu Haojia and Emperor Wanli got into a relationship, Emperor Wanli hasn't summoned him for a long time! Don't just need to ask him something, his face is not very good, so he feels that he has fallen out of favor! So he can't deal with Liu Haojia now, even if he disgusts him!

By the time Zhang Jia heard the news, it was too late to dismiss the matter, so he hurriedly sent a letter to Tianjin to let Liu Haojia know about the matter.

And Liu Haojia was also surprised when he received the news, he didn't expect that the matter of patrolling the border would fall on him! But after being surprised, he was happy, because he also felt that his soldiers needed to be tempered! Moreover, there is no risk in patrolling the border, which is just enough for inexperienced soldiers to be trained.

So he sent a letter back to Zhang Jia, expressing his willingness to accept the order, and then began to reorganize his team. More than 1,000 soldiers who had gone through the battle were scattered and distributed in various camps. It is believed that the passing of experience on these soldiers is enough.
