Maintaining a large interest group and running smoothly is all the same, money.

If it weren't for the fact that there was enough money, Jiang Xia would not have gathered so many people around him. Because everyone needs to live, and loyalty and righteousness are not enough to eat. If Jiang Xia can't afford to support them and can't absolutely satisfy them materially, they will still try their best to make enough money to meet their material needs.

All the core personnel identified by Jiangxia can withdraw money at will in Xiaoyao Villa, no matter how large or small the amount is, they only need to write a note and hand it to the account office.

Even if it is a non-core personnel, the salary and dividends given by Jiangxia in a month are also a very considerable amount. As soon as there are more people, Jiangxia's monthly expenditure of silver taels is actually a very large amount.

It's just that he firmly controls the secret recipes of Jiuyang Dan and Feifeng Dan, and the pills have already sold well in the entire Ming Dynasty from Jingshi.

In addition, he also partnered with Yi Crab to see the pill shop, selling some pills refined by Yi Crab. The income is also very expensive.

In addition, the amount of silver that can be earned in the salt industry in the south of the Yangtze River and the Daning commodity trading market is also huge, so Jiangxia has never lacked silver so far.

But for Lord Feng, for Yang Tinghe, and for the entire Wan Huang.

The amount of silver taels to be consumed per month is an astronomical amount.

And it's not how many people there are in the four halls of Wanhuang, wind, fire, thunder and lightning, those who do things on the surface and those who are secretly enveloped, these have to be raised with silver. Then the seeds planted in the court have to win all kinds of resources for them, and these will cost money.

And Wanhuang's officials can't be blatantly corrupt yet, because they have to maintain a good reputation.

Therefore, they can only rely on various means of money to maintain the normal operation of Wanhuang.

For example, Jiangnan Salt Industry, Yunnan Salt Industry, such as Shanxi and Jiangnan Mining, such as Fujian Customs Trade. In this series of money-making businesses, Wan Huang actually participated in it to a greater or lesser extent.

And anyone with insight will understand a truth, that is, the best wealth is precisely the war money.

War, in the final analysis, is a competition for resources.

Therefore, Wang Zhi's existence is equivalent to Wanhuang's biggest economic source.

Originally, Lord Feng let Yang Tinghe not have to stop Jiang Xia, and his purpose was the same as what Wang Zhi said to Ikawa Panasonic. Let Jiang Xia make the cake bigger, and then sit back and enjoy it himself, and get a piece of the pie.

But he didn't expect that Jiang Xia had already known about Wang Zhi's existence, and set a trap against Wang Zhi.

This time really made Lord Feng and Yang Tinghe a little panicked, if something really happened to Wang Zhi, then the entire Wanhuang would be hit hard. If you don't quickly find another way to make money, I'm afraid that Wanhuang will fall into a situation of lack of money for the first time.

Yazhu was silent for a long time, and finally Lord Feng sighed and said, "Forget it, the matter has come to this, and worrying is useless." If Wang Zhi can survive this hurdle, then write to him immediately and ask him to come to Beijing to avoid the limelight immediately. Wait for Jiangxia to leave Fujian, and then go back. ”

"This ...... Lord Feng, I'm afraid Wang Zhi won't agree. Yang Tinghe thought for a while and said: "Wang Zhi thinks very highly of himself, and he has established himself as the king in Songpujin, and he is gradually suspected of being uncontrollable. Let him go back to Beijing for a while, I'm afraid it won't be easy. ”

"If that's the case, then leave him to fend for himself. Wan Huang will not condone anyone who wants to stand on their own. ”

On the route to Chenla, you have to pass through the mountain reef.

There are many reefs under the sea bottom of the mountain reef, and if the boat goes too fast, there is a risk of crashing, so the boat travels very slowly.

This time the number of escorts in the flotilla was not large, and this could not be hidden from anyone. Because the ship is that big. It is easy to tell from the draft how many people are on board.

As Lord Feng said, Wang Zhi was born as a pirate, and it was his nature to plunder the sea. He simply couldn't resist such temptation.

In order to be able to hijack this fleet, Wang Zhi brought a lot of people to him, and he had already laid an ambush in advance at the best ambush location of Shanhai Reef.

The ship slowly moved in, eventually reaching the mountains and reefs. Then suddenly the Wyvern Claw shot out, and the ships of the fleet were basically caught by the Wyvern Claw.

At this moment, Wang Zhi's pirate ship slowly came out of the harbor and kept approaching the fleet.

Most of these pirate ships were made up of pirates, and each of them had shaved crescent-shaped hairstyles that looked very ugly.

After the flotilla was surrounded, there was not even a basic resistance, and all the crew knelt on the deck and raised their hands in surrender.

Surrender so easily? Without a single shot, a bullet, or a cannon?

Standing on the deck of the iconic Wufeng ship, Wang Zhi was a little confused.

Isn't it quite a bit imposing to see the Daming Sailor that day, why is he so cowardly today? Even if he loses, then at least he will fight first.

Wang Zhi couldn't help but laugh and said: "You Daming Shui Master is quite good at acting, even Jiang Xia was deceived by you." He gave you so much gold and silver treasure, but you surrendered without firing a shot. What am I afraid of you like this?"

The people of the Daming Sailor didn't speak, anyway, they knelt on the deck and didn't say a word.

Soon the pirates were on board, and they opened the chests of the fleet, and they were filled with gold, silver, and jewels. When the pirates saw this, they began to laugh.

They grabbed the gold, silver and jewels and ran to the deck, waving them to Wang Zhi.

When Wang Zhi saw it, he immediately laughed and applauded, and the entire mountain, sea and reef were full of excited laughter from the Japanese robbers.

Wang Zhi said: "Tie up these people for me, and then go back with the boat!"

"Yes!"

Wang Zhi's fleet began to move in the direction of Matsuurajin, if there was one single transaction in his pirate career that made the most money and made the easiest money, Wang Zhi definitely recommended this one.

He was even thinking that if he knew that the Daming Sailor was so, he should have taken the opportunity to attack the shore and rob the corrupt officials who were now concentrated in Fuzhou.

Well, the more I think about it, the more I feel like I should do it. Wang Zhi decided to gather people when he went back.

It's a pity that what Wang Zhi didn't know was that he had just left Songurajin for not long before his front foot. The main force of the real Daming Water Division on the back foot has already reached Matsuurazu.

Wang Zhi wanted to be foolproof, so he took most of the people in Matsuurajin out. Now Matsuurajin's troops are empty, so they can't stop the joint attack of the Daming Water Division and the Jiangwutang.

The sailor first used the Franc cannon on the warship to bombard indiscriminately, and then directly forced the shore to kill Matsuurazu.

Wang Zhi's base in Songpujin is not a stockade or a mountain villa. It's a city. Therefore, in order to attack the city, the naval division also transported the sub-mother cannon to the shore and directly blasted Songurajin away with the cannon.

Entering the city, even those who only speak martial arts can easily defeat those who have a small number of troops. Not to mention the fact that there are thousands of troops in the water division.

The battle began quickly, and then ended very quickly. The entire Matsuurazu was quickly occupied by the men of the Naval Division.

Everyone estimated the time and thought that Wang Zhi's fleet was about to return, so they left some people in the city to sort out the materials that Wang Zhi had stored for many years. The others took advantage of the boat to find trouble with Wang Zhi.

Wang Zhi had just led the fleet into the sea area outside Matsuurajin, when suddenly the sailors on the ship, who were still like cowards just now, broke the rope and engaged the people on board.

A flare lifts into the air.

All the boats of the Daming Navy Division sailed out and began to shoot at Wang Zhi's boat.

Encountering the main force of the Daming Water Division here, Wang Zhi immediately understood that he had been fooled, and he didn't have to guess to know that his base Matsuurajin must have suffered.

Wang Zhi shouted: "Blow them up!"

"Boom, boom, boom!"

A real naval battle has officially begun.

At the beginning of the battle, Wang Zhi and the others relied on a lot of artillery, and the cannons were good, and they still had the upper hand in momentum. But soon the difference between the Great Ming Sailor and the Wako was revealed.

The Daming sailors arranged the ship into an inverted triangle formation, and Wang Zhi's cannons were more or less missed, and they were hit in the water. The sailor's men should have few opportunities to practice firing guns on weekdays, so the requirements for each cannon are very precise.

Seven out of ten shells they fired were at least hits. How terrifying such a hit rate is, those who have studied naval warfare naturally understand.

Soon Wang Zhi and they began to be beaten and retreated. And while Wang Zhi and the others didn't pay attention, several fire dragon ships of the sailors later circled behind Wang Zhi and their fleet, and the Wufeng ships aimed at Wang Zhi began to bombard wildly.

The sailors who have always been rare cannonballs don't care about these, anyway, the goal is to sink Wang Zhi's Wufeng ship.

As Wang Zhi's iconic five-peak boat, it is six floors high, and its large boat is 120 steps, which can accommodate 2,000 people and gallop horses. With such a large ship, even a few shelling blows will be fine.

However, if a large number of shells are concentrated like the Daming Naval Division, and they bombard a ship indiscriminately, then even if the ship is made of steel, I am afraid that it may not last long.

Eventually, Wang Zhi's Wufeng boat began to crumble.

He also knew that he couldn't stay on the boat, so he quickly asked him to put down the boat and make his own boat to escape.

Unfortunately, a cannonball hit the boat accurately, destroying the boat directly.

Seeing that Wang Zhi was sunk, the entire Daming Water Division was excited, and they could finally let go of their hands and feet to fight unscrupulously after holding back for many years.

Therefore, the rest of the pirates were extremely pitiful and were bombarded by them.

The shells clashed, and the sailors' ships began to rush towards the pirate ships.

The small boat was directly destroyed, and the big boat jumped on the boat after approaching, and everyone began to fight with real knives and guns.

This battle lasted for more than five hours, and in the end, the Japanese robbers led by Wang Zhi were basically wiped out. In the end, the sailor cleaned it up, but he wanted to find Wang Zhi's body but couldn't find it.

It happened that the people on the shore shouted again and found Wang Zhi's treasure house, there were too many gold, silver and jewelry, so they asked for help.

The sailor's men hurried to the shore and gave up looking for Wang Zhi.

When I returned to Fuzhou, it was already five days later.

The sailor's boat, which had nothing to do when it went out, came back with a waterline that was almost on par with the side of the ship.

Wang Zhi has been operating in Fujian and Zhejiang for many years, not to mention burning, killing and looting, and also participating in the maritime ban trade. Of course, the most important thing is that he also dumped a large amount of strategic materials to Japan, and no one can fully calculate how much wealth he has.

Jiang Xia, who had been waiting on the dock since returning to Fuzhou, saw so many supplies, and Jiang Xia had an impulse in his heart, that is, after returning to Beijing, he immediately announced that he would be exempt from taxes for three years tomorrow, so that the people could recuperate.

Fujian has always been the richest in Daming, but this time Jiangxia investigated and punished corruption and profiteers here, but it just gained the most.

Originally, the officials and businessmen of Fujian alone contributed a large amount of money, but now with this Wang Zhi's wealth, there is no clear concept of how much Jiangxia is, it can only be said that there are many, many, many......

Standing on the shore and looking at the sea, the waves are magnificent, the blue sea and blue sky are beautiful.

But in reality, the sea is stormy and dangerous, and if you are not careful, you will die in the sea.

Wang Zhi, who was shot down into the sea by the Daming sailors, did not die, but floated in the sea holding a plank.

It's been five days and five nights, and Wang Zhi has felt like he's dying countless times.

Two days ago, he didn't know what shit luck he had taken, and he met a horsemouth that was already stinking on the surface of the sea. By eating the smelly fish meat and drinking the fish blood, Wang Zhi has survived until now.

Now Wang Zhizhi's lips and tongue are chapped, and he only thinks that if someone can give him a sip of water to drink now, he will exchange all his wealth for it.

Wang Zhi didn't expect that he had been crisscrossing the sea for so many years, and finally fell into the hands of Jiang Xia so easily.

He couldn't figure out why Jiang Xia knew the specific location of his base.

In the end, Wang Zhi thought of Ryuichiro Hirashi, who had disappeared before the battle began, and the signal flare.

Wang Zhi understood that most of the people in Heizhi Ryuichiro were undercover agents arranged by Jiang Xia in Ikawa Matsushita, but he ridiculously brought him to his side and regarded him as a rare talent.

Looking at the vast sea, Wang Zhi felt a little ridiculous, he was in the endless water, but in the end he was thirsty to death.

Wang Zhi sighed, his heart had already given up, and he said to himself countless times in his heart: "Give up, die......"

Unfortunately, he was reluctant to throw away the plank in his hand until the end.

"Flute...... Flute ......"

Wang Zhi was excited, he looked forward and saw a big ship coming in his direction.

The hope of life, Wang Zhi saw it again. He wanted to wave his hands and scream loudly. But at this moment, Wang Zhi clearly saw that a shark was approaching him.

Wang Zhi was stunned, looking at the big ship that was getting closer and closer to him, Wang Zhi couldn't believe it, was this the retribution given to him by God?

I saw that I could finally escape death, but I still had to die in the mouth of a shark.

The shark seemed to have smelled him and was rapidly approaching him.

Just as the shark's triangular fin was getting closer and closer, there was a sudden "bang", and red blood rose on the surface of the sea. r1058
