Chapter 53: Sometimes You Can't Hide It

"I see. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info”

After listening to Tang Ruoruo's story, Xie Qin bowed slightly.

Everyone's eyes focused on Qi Buer, who was still concentrating on thinking and forgetting things, and his black umbrella never left his hand.

"Hey, Qi Buer!" Xie Qin called him.

Qi Buer came back to his senses and asked, "What's the matter?"

Xie Qin said: "Now you should tell us the ins and outs." ”

Qi Buer pondered for a moment and looked at everyone.

“...... That's a long story, please give me some time to sort out my thoughts. He stood up, "Besides, something so big has happened, I have to tell my family." ”

He walked out with his phone.

Tang Ruoruo glared at Xie Qin: "Brother ringtone, why is your mobile phone down?"

"Well, this ......" Xie Qin suddenly became embarrassed and explained hesitantly, "That...... Recently, my parents have been more idle, and they often call me, and you know, long distances......

Tang Ruoruo looked at him angrily.

Xie Qin spread his hands helplessly: "What can I do? I'm also desperate......

"Hmph, if it weren't for your phone down, we wouldn't be so troublesome!" Tang Ruoruo shook his head and said angrily, "No way, it's you this time!"

Xie Qin accompanied the smiling face: "I will try to keep the phone non-stop in the future." ”

"Not as much as possible, but by all means!"

"Yes, yes, definitely. Sechin smiled wryly.

"Tang Ruoruo, you have a good relationship with Xie Qin. Zu Yuji said with a smile.

Tang Ruoruo was stunned for a moment, and replied: "It's average, Xiaoyu, you call me Ruoruo." ”

"Okay. ”

The two girls quickly became acquainted.

At this time, Qi Buji came back, his expression was as indifferent as ever, but Xie Qin could see that he was in a somewhat depressed mood.

He sat down and said to Xie Qin: "My name is Qi Bu'er, and my father said that it was to take the meaning of Yixin, and Qi Yixin is a pseudonym I gave to hide people's eyes. ”

Your pseudonym is a little casual, Xie Qinxin said, and nodded.

Qi Buer said again: "I am from the Qi family in Fuzhou, originally from Shandong, and my ancestor is Qi Jiguang and Qi Wuyi of Dangping Wakou. ”

Xie Qin was taken aback, this family is a bit powerful.

Later, the Manchu Qing Dynasty destroyed the Ming Dynasty, and a branch of the descendants of the Qi family moved south to Fujian to avoid military disasters, which led to the later Fuzhou Qi family. ”

"Oh......"

"Do you know Wang Zhi?"

Qi Buer suddenly burst out.

Who is Wang Zhi?

Xie Qin had a question mark on his face.

Everyone also had a question mark on their faces.

"Is that the notorious maritime merchant?" asked the old man leisurely.

"That's right. Qi Buer nodded, and when he saw that everyone was confused, he said, "Let's start from the beginning." ”

Xie Qin nodded stunnedly.

Qi Buer said: "Wang Zhi was born in the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty, that is, in the sixteenth century, and the history books say that he is kind and charitable, wise and chivalrous. In 1540, he went to Guangdong with a few fellow villagers to do overseas trade with Westerners. At that time, the Ming Dynasty implemented a policy of prohibiting the sea from going to sea to trade without permission, and the so-called 'piece board is not allowed to go to sea', so Wang Zhi's trade activities were illegal smuggling activities, and in that era, maritime merchants had the dual identity of pirates and merchants, and Wang Zhi was no exception, so he naturally became a thorn in the side of the Zhu Ming court.

"Wang Zhi's strength gradually grew, he had a large armed maritime group under his hands, and later he accepted the invitation of the Japanese daimyo Matsuura Takanobu to engage in maritime smuggling activities based in Hirado, Japan, and called himself the 'owner of the five peaks', and even ......"

"Wait a minute!" Xie Qin interrupted him, "You just said Wufeng?"

"Yes. Qi Buji nodded.

“...... What does the Wufeng Private Academy have to do with him?" Xie Qin asked with wide eyes.

Qi Buer said: "Wufeng Private College was funded and established by Wufeng Group, and Wufeng Group was established by Wang Zhi's descendants. ”

"Oh...... That's fine," Sechin breathed a sigh of relief, "I thought he had opened a school at the time." ”

Qi Buer shook his head: "No." ”

"Wang Zhi... Wang Zhi...... I seem to have an impression of this name," Tang Ruoruo held his chin and thought for a long time, then suddenly slapped the table and said, "Is it that traitor?!"

Qi Buer said: "You didn't make a mistake, but although Wang Zhi is not a good citizen, he is not a traitor either." When his power was at its peak, he could be compared to the princes of Japan, and he was called the king of Songjinpu on the island of Kyushu in Japan. Control the key points, and the razor of the thirty-six islands is under his command. It means that he built a country called 'Song', which was so powerful that the islanders had to obey him, and the Japanese had to work for him. ”

“...... That's right. ”

Tang Ruoruo nodded stunnedly, obviously the first time he had heard of this statement.

"There has always been a big problem on the southeast coast of the Ming Dynasty: the Japanese Invaders. At that time, Japan was in the Warring States period, and many unowned samurai were stranded at sea, colluding with maritime merchants, pirates, the Dutch, the Spaniards, the Portuguese, and even the coastal dwellers. ”

Seeing Xie Qin and Tang Ruoruo's surprised expressions, Qi Buji nodded: "That's right, Wako is a general term, and the Japanese are only a part of it. ”

"They can actually do it to their own people......" Tang Ruoruo was speechless.

Xie Qin sighed: "These people really don't care about anything for the sake of money. ”

Old man Zu smiled: "Xie Qin, your idea is very close to the ecology at the bottom of the rivers and lakes. ”

"What do you mean?" Sechin asked rhetorically.

"I told you that the rivers and lakes are divided into three religions and nine streams, the three religions are the ruling class of the rivers and lakes, and the nine streams are the ruled class, especially the lower nine streams, they are at the bottom of the rivers and lakes, engaged in all kinds of illegal activities, survival of the fittest, and death for money, which is their survival creed. ”

"It's brutal. Xie Qin shook his head secretly.

"For a living. Old Man Zu's tone was quite emotional.

The old man had probably seen many of these things, Xie Qin thought to himself, and said to Qi Buji, "Please continue." ”

Qi Buer said: "The Japanese pirates burned, killed and looted, all evil, is the biggest public security problem on the southeast coast, Wang Zhi wanted to cooperate with the imperial court, for which he cooperated with the government, exterminated the Fujian pirate leader Chen Sipan and other pirates, maintained coastal order, and established the status of "sea overlord", the history books recorded, 'the sea of the robbers, not subject to direct control, can not survive', that is, the disobedient widows were killed by Wang Zhi, he became the largest widows, the people of the rivers and lakes sent the honor of the 'old ship owner'.

However, the imperial court had no idea of cooperation. In 1553, Yu Dayou, the commander-in-chief, led an army to raid Zhoushan Ligang, intending to encircle and suppress Wang Zhi, Wang Zhi was defeated and left Japan, and his two strongholds in China, Ligang and Ningbo Shuangyu, were destroyed one after another, and Wang Zhi's trade network was severely damaged. He did not give up, and sent pirates such as Xu Hai and Chen Dong to operate along the coast, hoping to blackmail the government and open the port and open the city, so as to legalize maritime trade.

In 1554, Hu Zongxian served as the governor of Zhejiang to supervise the imperial history, and the military affairs of Nanzhili, Zhejiang, Fu and other places. He released Wang Zhi's family in prison, and sent people to Japan to negotiate with Wang Zhi, and the two sides hit it off, and Wang Zhi ordered his adopted son Mao Haifeng to escort the envoy back to Ming to meet Hu Zongxian in person, and specifically discussed the matter of appeasement and trade and mutual market. Hu Zongxian treated Mao Haifeng favorably and dispelled Wang Zhi's doubts.

But things went wrong: in 1558, Wang Zhi was invited by Hu Zongxian to go to Hangzhou, and was ensnared and imprisoned by Wang Bengu, the imperial historian of Zhejiang, and later beheaded by the Ming court.

As soon as Wang Zhi died, the Japanese invaders no longer had restraint, and since then they have been rampant and have been in trouble in the southeast for more than ten years. It is recorded in the history books that Wang Zhi's family is in the territory, and there is only one adopted son, Mao Haifeng, which is not the case, Wang Zhi has many heirs overseas, and it seems that the chaos of the dragons and dragons without a leader is their revenge against the Ming Dynasty, and since then, the Wang family and the Zhu Ming Dynasty have not shared the sky.

Hu Zongxian had no choice, only a war, he had ancestors Qi Wuyi and Yu Dayou and other generals under his command, under their activity, Mao Haifeng died, and the widows were wiped out, which in the eyes of the Wang family, undoubtedly hindered their revenge plan, so Hu Zongxian and his subordinates were on the blacklist of the Wang family. ”

They first instigated the Japanese expedition to the Ming Dynasty, and then infiltrated the territory of the Ming Dynasty, funding rebel forces everywhere, including the Jurchens, Mongols, and peasant armies, in a word, whoever wants to fight against the Ming Dynasty, they will fund whom, under the combined effect of these forces, the Ming Dynasty will be stormy and eventually perished.

Xie Qin was stunned for a long time before he came back to his senses and muttered: "It turns out that the Ming Dynasty fell because of the Wang family, and this is the first time I have heard of it." ”

Qi Buer said: "There will always be a lot of inside information hidden behind history. ”

Xie Qin nodded and sighed, "You're right. ”

Qi Buji continued: "After the Manchu Qing Dynasty entered the customs, a group of the descendants of the Qi family moved south to Fuzhou, and the descendants of Hu Zongxian in response to the Southern Ming court, gathered the old department, set up a righteous army to fight against the Qing soldiers, the Qi family and the Yu family both joined the righteous army, but the small court of the Southern Ming Dynasty not only did not agree with the outside world, but while leaning against each other, while being poor and extravagant, as a result, the situation changed, the world changed hands, and the righteous army was forced to disband. The chaotic situation helped a lot, and the Qing soldiers did not find them.

"The Wang family chased and killed the Zhu Ming royal family everywhere, causing them to lose their heirs, and they also wanted to kill Hu Zongxian's old department, but the Manchu court refused to let the Wang family act recklessly, the reason is very simple, the Aixin Jueluo family rose with the support of the Wang family, they were very jealous of the Wang family, and after taking the country, the Manchu court expelled the power of the Wang family, so that it was never allowed to enter the country. ”
