After Zhu Liu asked Hu Zongxian to invite Lu Gang, he said that he would persuade him personally. Hu Zongxian and Zhang Mo were inconvenient to stand by.
Hu Zongxian and Zhang Mo are both discerning people. Seeing Lu Gang's complex expressions, he naturally avoided them quickly. When they walked out of the room, the two looked at each other. Hu Zongxian first said, "Do you really believe that Zhu Liu is going to deal with Lu Bing?"
"I don't believe it." Zhang Mo shook his head and continued: "However, as long as he participates in dealing with Wang Zhi, there will be no more trust between him and Lu Bing."
"Will there be fraud among these?" Hu Zongxian still said uneasy.
"You are wondering, will this be the game played by Wang Zhi and Zhu Liu?" Zhang Mo asked with a smile.
Hu Zongxian nodded, but Zhang Mo shook his head and said: "Whether it is a game or not, it is a fact that Zhu Liu is sitting here today. It is also a fact that we set up a bureau to catch Wang Zhi. That's enough."
"What the husband said... What's the explanation?" Hu Zongxian didn't understand.
"The embankment of a thousand miles collapsed in the ant's nest." Zhang Mo's eyes were a little confused and said: "Zhu Liu said just now, things have to be done bit by bit, and food needs to be eaten bit by bit.
Zhang Mo turned his face to look at Hu Zongxian and said: "Zhu Liu and Lu Bing have known each other for decades and have a deep relationship. We can't let Zhu Liu and Lu Bingen break righteously all at once. This... Haha, none of us would believe it. But, As long as there is a crack between him and Lu Bing, we can expand the crack little by little until the two of them completely break apart, and then the break between them will become the ant nest on the embankment of Jin Yiwei, with this ant nest, Jin Yiwei will be over, Lu Bing will be over. As for whether this is a countermeasure that Zhu Liu and Lu Bing will set up together, it will be calculated..."
Zhang Mo smiled confidently: "Actually, why don't we use counterintuitive tactics and then use general tactics? As long as Zhu Liu is involved in this quagmire, I will be confident that he will sink deeper and deeper. Because it is a fact that he has dealt with Wang Zhi. It's a fact that he got muddy water... When he was covered with mud... As the saying goes, the yellow mud falls into the crotch, it's not shit or shit... So, this time, he must die!"
"Mr. Zhang is really brilliant!" Hu Zongxian swept away his suspicions and smiled admiringly: "As long as Zhu Liu's hands are stained with Wang Zhi's blood, Zhu Liu will never be able to wash it clean, even if Lu Bing can tolerate him, they will be thirteen. There will also be wariness and suspicion between the Pacific Ocean! Hahahaha! Mr. Zhang's methods are really smart, high! Really high!"
Zhang Mo smiled reservedly, and said: "I didn't do anything, but I just pushed the boat along the way."
"No!" Hu Zongxian still smiled and said, "Going with the flow is the kingly way. Mr. Zhang knows the three flavors of the art of war!"
The two complimented each other a few words, heard the door rang, looked back, saw the general soldier Lu Kang walked out expressionlessly, Lu Kang and Hu Zongxian looked at each other, their eyes were quite complicated, Hu Zongxian sighed. A trace of shame flashed across Lu Jing's face.
On the second day, Lu Gang took Hu Zongxian's letter, as well as Xia Zheng and Fang Dazhong, to Zhoushan again.
When I saw the dotted islands, I arrived at the Zhoushan Islands.
Zhoushan is located in Hangzhou Bay, with the sea strangling the Three Rivers, leading to Fujian and Guangdong in the south and Jianghuai in the north. It is known as the Three Wus that control the whole of Zhejiang.
There is a native saying in Zhoushan, saying that when a fishing boat enters the gate of Shen's house, it is like entering the door of the house and entering Cengang, it is like getting into a warm bed.
Zhoushan is the hardest-hit area for Japanese Japanese, and Wang Zhi made his fortune here. The Zhoushan Anti-Japanese War was no less than dozens of times. The most important ones occurred in Shuangyu, Putuo, Xiepu, Ligang and Cengang.
Shuangyu Port is located on Liuheng Island in the southwest of Putuo Mountain, facing Xiangshan in Zhejiang Province across the sea. During the Jiajing period, Portuguese and Japanese pirate merchants colluded with Chinese pirate merchants Li Guangtou and Xu Dong to occupy Shuangyu. Shuangyu became an important port for sea smuggling trade at that time.
In the nineteenth year of Jiajing, Wang Zhi emerged. Four years later, Wang Zhi moved to Xu Dong. Shuangyu Port was once prosperous.
At that time, the Portuguese built barracks, prepared warships, and established institutions in Shuangyu Port. The administrative, legislative, and judicial officials were aware of the fact that there were six or seven churches, more than 1,000 residences, and two hospitals.
Until the 27th year of Jiajing, the imperial court sent the governor Zhu Wan to wipe out the smuggling pirates on Shuangyu.
Under Lu Bing's warning, Wang Zhi stayed away from Zhoushan.
Sure enough, the Ming army fought bravely, the Portuguese pirates and Japanese pirates fled to Fujian, and the Xudong Group was also annihilated. Only then did Wang Zhi come back to clean up the remains of Xu Dong, gather desperadoes, and surrender the widows to become the largest pirate organization.
In the end, Zhu Wan offended the powerful tycoons in Fujian and Zhejiang because of his peace, and died unjustly in prison. After Zhu Wan's death, almost no one inside or outside the court dared to say anything about the sea. The sea ban was relaxed, and Zhoushan was gradually controlled by pirates until today.
Cen Port, like Shuangyu Port and Li Port, also has an ocean surface between the two islands, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack.
When Lu Gang arrived at Cen Port, he could not help but nod and sigh after seeing Wang Zhi's defensive arrangement in Cen Port. He praised Wang Zhi's good place in his heart, but sighed again. This place is difficult to conquer. If Wang Zhi does not go ashore, with the thousands of elite pirates he has brought, I am afraid it will be really difficult to take him.
"I have seen Master Lu." Hearing that the famous general of the Anti-Japanese War, Lu Gang, came to visit himself, Wang Chang personally came to greet him: "Foster father is already waiting for the adults, please come with me."
Wang Huan took Lu Boring, Xia Zheng and Fang Dazhong, and boarded the ship to meet Wang Zhi.
After the exchanges between the two sides, Xia Zheng delivered a letter from Hu Zongxian with both hands.
Wang went directly and unfolded Hu Zongxian's letter.
Hu Zongxian was from Jixi, Anhui, and Wang Zhi’s hometown was less than a hundred miles away from She County.
In the letter, Hu Zongxian, in the name of the villagers, understood reason and moved with affection, and repeatedly assured Wang Zhi's safety.
Finally, Xu Guan acted as the governor of the city and administrated the affairs of the sea.
While Wang Zhi was reading the letter, Lu Jing was looking at Wang Zhi's boat with the instinct of a general.
It is often heard that Wang Zhi has hundreds of huge boats, "One hundred and twenty steps, can accommodate two thousand people, the fence is the city, and there are four gates on the building and the horses can travel on it."
Seeing it today, it really deserves its reputation.
Looking at the pirates on board Wang Zhi, who are comparable to elite soldiers, Lu Jian had to admit that Wang Zhi really was not an ordinary pirate. In the words of Zhu Liu yesterday, Wang Zhi’s strength and chassis said that the king is really nothing. However, even though I was a dignified general, I did not humiliate myself when I came to meet Wang Zhi.
Many years ago, Lu Kang had dealt with Wang Zhi. This Zhoushan is where Wang Zhi made his fortune!
In the nineteenth year of Jiajing, Wang Zhi left Shexian and went to Southeast Asia with Ye Zongman, Xu Weixue, Xie He, Fang Tingzhu and other townships. He has been to Siam and also smuggled silk and nitrate in Japan.
Although Wang Zhi and his gang, who have been traveling overseas for several years, have earned some money, they have not been able to truly build up their own armed forces.
