Rise From the Humble

The next day, Wang Zhi sent several confidantes, with his personal letter, to the government envoy office of Zhejiang Chengxuan in Hangzhou, requesting the opening of Zhoushan Ligang for mutual trade and exchange of smugglers for public peddlers.

At the same time, Wang Zhi also sent several people with copies of his personal letters to Ningbo, Shaoxing, Hangzhou, and Taizhou to send notes to the local government, and also expressed his request for the opening of Zhoushanli Port and mutual trade.

Suddenly, there was a big earthquake in Jiangnan.

On a desert island in the waters of Zhejiang, Xu Hai's group of more than 6,000 Japanese pirates were resting.

A speedboat rowed to the coast, and Saburo Toribayashi got off the speedboat.

"Yuxi, Saburo, why did you come back so soon? Didn't Mr. Wang Zhi treat you well?!" A Japanese pirate leader on duty saw Saburo Toribayashi who disembarked, and joked with a smile.

"Matsushita-kun, I don't have time to joke with you. Take me to see leader Xu Hai quickly." Saburo Toribayashi said hurriedly.

"Leader Xu is having a happy meditation with Yuriko, and I'm afraid I don't have time to see you." The pirate leader Matsushita Kamiji said to Toribayashi Saburo winkingly, twisting his crotch while talking.

"You can take a break any day in Huanxi Zen. The news I have is related to the wealth of the family governor, so we can't delay it for a moment!"

Saburo Toribayashi said anxiously.

Hearing Toribayashi Saburo mentioning the family governor's fortune, Matsushita Kamiji immediately became serious. They all came from the Hizen Kunipira family daimyo Matsuura's family, and the Matsuura family governor was their master. The reason why they were Japanese pirates under Xu Hai's command was Matsuura Since the family governor's orders are related to the family governor's wealth, it is natural to take them seriously.

"Toribayashi-kun, come with me." Matsushita Shanger didn't hesitate anymore and led Saburo Toribayashi to the camp where Xu Hai was resting.

Sure enough, before they even reached the tent, they heard a burst of exciting sounds coming from inside.

"Chief Xu, Sanlang Torillin has something important to report." Matsushita Shanger stood in front of the tent and reported to the inside.

The faint sound of the camp was interrupted. About three seconds later, Xu Hai's voice was heard from inside: "Come in!"

Saburo Toribayashi and Shoji Matsushita then walked into the camp. In the tent, Xu Hai was shirtless and looking at the two of them with an unhappy expression. No one would be happy if they were interrupted at this juncture. A Japanese girl in the quilt covered her neck with a quilt. She stared at Saburo Toribayashi and Joji Matsushita with a rosy face, and licked her tongue playfully.

"What are you reporting for?!" Xu Hai asked displeasedly.

"Look back, yesterday I was ordered to celebrate the establishment of Zhoushan Lek Port by Hui Wang Wang Zhi. This morning, Hui Wang Wang Zhi sent his cronies with confidence to the Zhejiang government with his own letter, asking the Ming court to open Li port for mutual trade and exchanges. Vendor. This is a very important matter. I will report to you as soon as I confirm. Once the port is opened, it will become a mountain of gold. So I can get a piece of the action.”

Saburo Torilli reported, reminding Xu Hai to make early plans for the opening of Hong Kong and mutual markets, so as to get a share of the pie.

"What did you say?! Wang Zhi sent an envoy this morning to ask the government to open the Hong Kong trade?!" Xu Hai became emotional, and the displeasure caused by Saburo Tobayashi and his group's interruption of the Huanxi Zen movement was swept away.

"Exactly!" Saburo Noribayashi nodded vigorously, "Boss Xu, you Ming people have a saying that 'the first to attack is the best, and the second to suffer disaster'. Ligang is about to open, we need to prepare early and prepare a lot. Maritime trade supplies, lest all the meat be eaten by King Hui, and we won’t even be able to share a sip of soup.”

"Prepare sea trade supplies?!"

When Xu Hai heard this, he burst out laughing as if he had heard the funniest joke in the world.

"Why is Leader Xu laughing?!"

Saburo Tobayashi couldn't help frowning, if the governor hadn't ordered us to take you as the master, how could we allow you to be so rude in front of me.

"Wang Zhi is inflated, whimsical, have you also been infected by him?! Are you still preparing supplies for sea trade?! The Ming court strictly enforced the ban on the sea, and the board is not allowed to enter the sea. This is the Ming court's national policy, how can it be easily changed!"

Xu Hai twitched the corners of his mouth, revealing a disdainful smile.

Among the Japanese pirates, Saburo Tobayashi is the most disobedient to orders. He is obviously as stupid as a pig, but he feels that he is the smartest, and often sings against himself. Sending him to congratulate Wang Zhi yesterday might not have the idea of ​​using Wang Zhi's hand to get rid of Saburo Niaolin, but it's a pity that this guy has a good life.

"But King Hui is full of confidence." Saburo Tobayashi insisted.

"I said, Wang Zhi is inflated, whimsical! The Ming court will never agree to open the Hong Kong exchange market! Hmph, if it is silent, the current private market can still be maintained, and local governments such as Suzhou and Hangzhou will also open their doors. Turn one eye and close one eye, but as it is now, envoys are sent to ask for the opening of Hong Kong trade with the government, oh, let alone open Hong Kong trade, believe it or not, even the private market will be destroyed!"

Xu Hai stared at Saburo Niaobayashi with burning eyes, and said confidently with a sneer at the corner of his mouth.

"Forgive me, I don't agree with you!" Saburo Tobayashi looked at Xu Hai without flinching, and said with his neck stuck.

You, Xu Hai, are nothing more than a pawn at the foot of our family governor. How can you compare to Hui Wang Wang Zhi? ! Wang Zhi, the king of Hui, said personally in public that the opening of the port was imminent, mutual trade was imminent, and the time to make a fortune had come! But you say Wang Zhi is just whimsical? ! I think it’s you, Xu Hai, who is so whimsical!

You have repeatedly refused to listen to my teachings, you are clearly jealous of the virtuous and capable!

The governor of the house actually handed over the team to this kind of jealous, capable and whimsical smart dog! You should leave it to me, Saburo Tobayashi!

This is Saburo Tobayashi's true inner thoughts.

"If you don't understand, then obey the order! Pass the order, and take advantage of the moment to quickly sell the supplies we have to Wang Zhi or other Japanese pirate fleets; quickly purchase weapons, arrows, and gunpowder, and tell the men under his command to fight Cheer up, the day of getting rich is here, prepare to raid the southeast with me, grab gold, silver, and women." Xu Hai glanced at Sanlang Niaolin, and then ordered the two of them.

"What? Are you planning to plunder the southeast?!" Sanlang Toribayashi suddenly shouted in surprise after hearing Xu Hai's order.

"What? Toriyama-kun, are you going to disobey me?! Before Matsuura-sama came, I ordered you to obey my orders?!"

Xu Hai stared at Saburo Toribayashi with an unkind expression.

"Chief Xu, I, Saburo Toolin, naturally dare not disobey the orders of the family governor. However, I want to remind you that at present, Hui Wang Wang Zhi's family is the only one with nearly one hundred thousand men under his command. He is a veritable overlord of the sea. In order to compete with the Ming court, he We opened ports for mutual trade, carefully maintained order along the coast, and issued many orders not to allow pirates like us to plunder the southeast. A few days ago, a group of Jiangmen people who plundered Taizhou Prefecture were punished by King Wang Zhi of Huizhou. I heard that Chief Xu, when he was in Huizhou, When he was under the king's command, he was reprimanded by King Hui for piracy. Now, at the juncture of King Hui's request to open ports and mutual trade, Leader Xu is preparing to plunder the southeast. Isn't he afraid of suffering the wrath of King Hui Wang Zhi?!"

Toriyama Saburo frowned and said.

"Haha, if Wang Zhi's request for trade is not successful, he will definitely become angry and order the plunder of the southeast in order to threaten the government and open up the port and market. We are ready to plunder at this moment, and when Wang Zhi gives the order, we can select the rich as soon as possible The land is plundered, and those who start with it will have meat to eat, but those who start late will only have barren land.”

Xu Hai sneered confidently.

"Hmph, I will listen to your orders. If things are not as you said, I will report the truth to the family governor."

Saburo Toribayashi said with a look of disbelief.

"It's up to you!" Xu Hai said disdainfully.
