Chapter 1320 The Japanese Wave is About to Rise
The next day, Wang Zhi sent several close confidants with his own handwritten letter to Zhejiang Chengxuan Government Envoy Si Yamen in Hangzhou Prefecture, requesting the opening of Zhoushan Ligang Port for trade. , it is easy for private traders to become public traders.
At the same time, Wang Zhi also sent several people with copies of handwritten letters to Ningbo Prefecture, Shaoxing Prefecture, Hangzhou Prefecture and Taizhou Prefecture to notify the local officials and also expressed the request to open Zhoushan Port and promote trade.
For a time, there was a big earthquake in Jiangnan.
On a desert island in the waters of Zhejiang, a group of more than 6,000 Japanese pirates in Xu Hai were resting.
A speedboat rowed to the coast, and Saburo Toribayashi got off the speedboat.
"Xinxi, Sanlang, why are you back so soon? Didn't Mr. Wang Zhi treat you well?!" A Japanese pirate leader on duty saw Sanlang Niaolin getting off the boat 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.
"Chief Xu is having a happy meditation with Yuriko. I'm afraid I don't have time to see you." The Japanese pirate leader Matsushita Shouji winked and said to Toribayashi Saburo, twisting his hips as he spoke.
“You can take a break any day in Huanxi Zen. This news about me is related to the financial fortune of the family governor, so we can’t delay it for a moment!”
Saburo Toribayashi said anxiously.
Hearing Saburo Toribayashi mention the wealth of the family governor, Matsushita Shoji suddenly became serious. They all came from the Matsuura family, the daimyo of Hizen Province. The Matsuura family governor is their master. The reason why they are under Xu Hai's command Being a Japanese pirate is the order of the Matsuura family governor. Since it is related to the family governor's wealth, it is natural to take it seriously.
"Toribayashi-kun, follow me." Matsushita Shanger did not hesitate anymore and led Saburo Toribayashi to the camp where Xu Hai was resting.
Sure enough, before reaching the tent, I heard a burst of exciting sounds coming from inside.
"Chief Xu, Saburo Tobayashi has something important to report." Matsushita Shanger stood in front of the tent and reported to the inside.
The muffled sound in the camp was interrupted. About three seconds later, Xu Hai's voice was heard from inside: "Come in!"
Toriyama Saburo and Matsushita Shouji 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 completion of Ligang Port in Zhoushan by King Wang Zhi of Huizhou. This morning Wang Zhi, King of Huizhou, confidently dispatched his cronies with his own letter to the Zhejiang government, asking the Ming Dynasty to open Ligang Port for trade and exchange. , it is easy to sell privately to the public. This is a serious matter. I will report it to you as soon as possible after confirming it. Report. Once Li Port is opened, it will become a golden mountain, and money will flow like water. Should we make plans early and report to the governor to prepare more trade supplies so that we can get a share of the pie? "
Niao Lin. Sanlang reported, reminding Xu Hai to make early plans for the opening of Hong Kong and mutual markets in order to get a share of the pie.
"What did you say?! Wang Zhi sent an envoy this morning to ask the government to open Hong Kong and mutual markets?!" Xu Hai became excited, and his displeasure at being interrupted by Saburo Tori and the others from the Happy Zen Movement was wiped away.
"Exactly!" Saburo Toriyama nodded vigorously, "Chief Xu, you Ming people have a saying that 'strike first to gain strength, strike later to suffer disaster', Ligang is about to open, we need to Make preparations early and prepare a lot of sea trade supplies to avoid All the meat was eaten by King Hui, and we couldn’t even share a sip of the soup.”
“Prepare supplies for sea trade?”
Hearing this, Xu Hai seemed to have heard the best news in the world. He laughed like a joke.
“Why is Leader Xu laughing?!”
Saburo Toribayashi couldn't help but frown, if the family governor hadn't ordered us to take you as our leader, how could I have allowed you to be so rude in front of me.
"Wang Zhi is inflated and whimsical. Have you been infected by him too?! Are you still preparing supplies for sea trade?! The Ming court strictly enforced a sea ban and no one was allowed to go to the sea. This is the national policy of the Ming court. Isn't it It will change easily!"
Xu Hai twitched the corner of his mouth and showed a disdainful smile.
Among the Japanese pirates, Saburo Toriyama was the one who disobeyed orders the most. He was as stupid as a pig, but he thought he was the smartest and often told himself the opposite. Yesterday, he was sent to congratulate Wang Zhi, with the idea of using Wang Zhi's hand to get rid of Saburo Tori, but it was a pity that this guy had a good life.
“But King Hui is very confident.” Saburo Tori insisted.
"I told you, Wang Zhi is arrogant and fanciful! There is no way the Ming court will agree to open a mutual market between Hong Kong and Hong Kong! Huh, if we keep silent, the current private market can still be maintained, and local governments such as Suzhou Prefecture and Hangzhou Prefecture will also open up One eye is closed, but like now In this way, the envoys asked the government to open Hong Kong and mutual markets, oh, let alone open Hong Kong and mutual markets, believe it or not, even the private market will be destroyed!"
Xu Hai stared at the bird forest with burning eyes! Saburo said with a hint of ridicule at the corner of his mouth, confidently.
"I beg your pardon, but I beg to differ!" Saburo Toribayashi looked at Xu Hai without flinching and said with a pinched neck.
You Xu Hai are just a pledge at the feet 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 it was time to make a fortune! 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 obviously jealous of others!
The governor actually handed over the team to such a jealous and whimsical bright dog! You should leave it to me, Saburo Tobayashi!
This is the true thought of Saburo Tobayashi in his heart.
"If you don't understand, then obey the order! Pass on the order and quickly sell the supplies we have to Wang Zhi or other Japanese pirate fleets now; quickly purchase weapons, arrows, and gunpowder, and tell us My subordinates, cheer up, the day of getting rich is here, and prepare to follow me in raiding the southeast, robbing gold, silver, and women." Xu Hai gave the order to the two of them as if he had swept away Sanlang Niao Lin.
"What? Are you planning to plunder the southeast?!" Saburo Tori heard Xu Hai's order and was suddenly surprised.
"What? Toriyama-kun, do you want 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 Niaolin, 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 be able to open ports and trade with the Ming Dynasty and maintain order along the coast, he gave many orders not to allow pirates like us to plunder the southeast. They plundered Taizhou some time ago. A group of people from Jiangmen in the Mansion were punished by King Hui Wang Zhi. I heard that when he was under King Hui, he was reprimanded by King Hui for piracy. The leader is preparing to plunder the southeast again, isn't he afraid of suffering the wrath of King Hui Wang Zhi? "
Niaolin Sanlang said with a smile on his face.
"Haha, if Wang Zhi's request for trade fails, 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 now and wait for Wang Zhi's order. If you choose a rich land to plunder as soon as possible, you will have meat to eat. If you start late, you will only have a barren land."
Xu Hai sneered confidently.
"Humph, I will listen to your orders. If things are not as you said, I will report the truth to the family governor."
Toribayashi Saburo said with a look of dissatisfaction.
“It’s up to you!” Xu Hai said disdainfully. (End of this chapter)
