Located in the northwest corner of Jintang Island, Ligang is a natural harbor formed by Jintang Island and its affiliated island Dapeng Mountain, which is arc-shaped. enA'com Since Wang Zhi occupied Jintang Island and started the smuggling trade, Ligang has become prosperous, and there are countless ships entering every day.

However, in recent times, the port that has been prosperous for several months has gradually become deserted, and the port has even been closed directly in the past two days, and a large number of fortifications have been built on both sides of the port, and dozens of fast ships are cruising back and forth on the sea, with a heavily guarded posture, and the atmosphere is tense and dull, just like the cloudy sky under the present.

It is said that since the "Zhenhai General" Mao Haifeng suffered a big defeat outside Ningbo Prefecture, and then the "Fubo General" Xu Yuanliang lost Fenghua County, Jintang Island naturally cut off the supply of a large number of materials, Wang Zhi's maritime trade smuggling business was immediately greatly affected, and those foreign merchants could not get the goods, so naturally they did not come, and Ligang gradually became deserted.

When Dinghai County was recovered by the officers and soldiers, and the bad news that Mao Haifeng, the "Zhenhai General", was captured, Ligang was completely beaten back to its original form, most of the maritime merchants did not come, and even some pirates under Wang Zhi also sneaked away, because everyone understood that Wang Zhi was about to finish, and the officers and soldiers would soon send sailors to encircle and suppress Jintang Island.

Wang Zhi obviously realized that his good days were coming to an end, and in a panic, he regretted that he had fainted at the beginning, and even agreed to Xu Hai to enter the Kou Continent, and called himself the King of Hui to death, so that now there is no room for maneuver, if it was good to do business in a low-key manner!

It's a pity that there is no regret medicine in this world, Wang Zhi didn't want to sit still, so he could only resist to the end, so he blocked Ligang and built a large number of defenses on the island, preparing to meet the officers and soldiers who came to encircle and suppress.

Wang Zhi didn't think about escaping the country, but he was reluctant to earn this family business with great difficulty, not to mention how willing he was not to fight, and there were many pirate factions under him, and without the wealth of Ligang, everyone might not be willing to follow him.

At this time, the sky began to rain coldly, and the two cold windows were pounding, and Wang straightened the fur on his body, but he still felt that his body was cold, so he closed the window, walked to the stove and sat down, but his body was warm, but his heart was still cold.

Footsteps were heard outside the house, and the two of them walked into the house with a cold wind, and the hats and robes were still dripping with water. The two of them untied their rain gear and put it away, walked to the stove and saluted the king, "Lord Wang! ”

These two people are "General Fubo" Xu Yuanliang, and Yu Jiu Shengding, the leader of the Japanese Bandits. Xu Yuanliang is one of Wang Zhi's righteous sons, who was responsible for guarding Fenghua County, but was overturned by Yu Dayou and Chang Guowei, and fled back to the sea with hundreds of remnants, and has been staying on Jintang Island since then. Now that Mao Haifeng, whom Wang Zhi relied on the most, was captured by officers and soldiers, Wang Zhi had to reuse Xu Yuanliang, who was a big part of his talent, and let him be in charge of the defense of the island.

Yu Jiu Sheng Ding is the strongest Japanese under Wang Zhi's command, this person was originally a lord of a small island off the coast of the Japanese country, and led three hundred Japanese to join Wang Zhi's command, the purpose is naturally to make a fortune, in the past few months, Yu Jiu Shengding has indeed received a lot of benefits, earning no less than 100,000 taels of silver, and the rate of return can be described as quite high.

"Don't call me Lord Wang in the future." The king stared at the coals in the furnace without even raising his head.

A trace of meanness flashed in Yu Jiu Shengding's eyes, and Xu Yuanliang changed his words: "Father-in-law, there is an old man on the mainland who wants to see you." ”

Wang Zhi was stunned for a moment, frowned and asked, "What old man?" ”

"He claimed to be Luo Longwen, a fellow countryman of his father-in-law."

Wang Zhi couldn't help blurting out: "It turned out to be him." ”

"Does Wang Yuanwai know this person?" Yu Jiu Shengding's eyes flashed and asked.

Wang Zhi nodded and said, "This person is indeed a contemptible fellow villager and friend, midnight, please invite him in." ”

Xu Yuanliang agreed to go out of the house, and after about two cups of tea, a rich man with a brocade hat and a mink fur was brought in, and it was Luo Longwen, a Hui merchant, and he was followed by a family member in a green coat and a small hat, but this family was tall, and his eyes were still light blue, and it turned out to be Song Dayan.

It turned out that after Luo Longwen Mao recommended himself that day, he first went to the government prison to see Mao Haifeng, and after a conversation with emotion and reason, he finally persuaded Mao Haifeng, and Mao Haifeng also wrote a handwritten letter to Luo Longwen, asking him to bring it to his father-in-law Wang Zhi and persuade him to accept the court's recruitment.

In addition, Luo Longwen also found Wang Zhi's old mother, who was already in his seventies, and after some persuasion, the old man also cooperated very well to dictate a letter to his family, persuading his son to take the initiative to return to the mainland to surrender and surrender, and strive for the court's leniency.

When everything was ready, Luo Longwen said goodbye to Xu Jin and prepared to go to sea to Jintang Island. As the saying goes, everything is foreseen, and if nothing is prepared, Xu Jin naturally appreciates Luo Longwen's precautionary style, and his confidence in persuading Wang Zhi has also greatly increased, so he specially sent Song Dayan to protect him on the island, and by the way, observe the troops and defense deployment on the island, and prepare for a strong attack after the negotiation broke down.

is still the same sentence, everything is pre-planned, and if it is not pre-planned, it will be wasted, Xu Jin is ready to do both, he can talk about the best achievements, and if he doesn't achieve the results, he will come straight and hard!

Let's say that Luo Longwen entered the hall, and immediately walked quickly to Wang Zhi with a smile on his face, and bowed his hand and said, "Brother Bengu, long time no see!" ”

Wang Zhi has experienced the ups and downs of life in the past six months, and at this time he suddenly saw his fellow villagers and friends, both surprised and cordial, his eyes were a little moist, and he was so excited that he stood up and held Luo Longwen's fists, and said in a casual manner: "Brother Hanzhang, I still think that there will be no time to see each other again in this life, and I can see the old man here today, I am very relieved to live my life, sit down!" ”

Seeing this, Luo Longwen suddenly calmed down a little, it seems that he came to the right place this time, Wang Zhi is very panicked now, then it will be easy to do!

After the two sat down again, Wang Zhi ordered someone to serve tea, and introduced Xu Yuanliang and Yu Jiu Shengding in the house to Luo Longwen. It is said that although Xu Yuanliang is Wang Zhi's righteous son, he is different from Mao Haifeng, Mao Haifeng is an adopted son and was raised by Wang Zhi, so Luo Longwen also knows him, but Xu Yuanliang is not, he is Wang Zhi's righteous son who only recognized a few years ago, so Luo Longwen has never seen it.

After greeting each other, Wang Zhi said tentatively: "Dare to ask where Brother Hanzhang is from?" ”

Luo Longwen smiled and said, "From Ningbo Mansion." ”

As soon as these words came out, Xu Yuanliang and Yu Jiu Shengding's faces couldn't help but change slightly, because Xu Jin, the governor of Zhejiang, was now in Ningbo Mansion. Wang Zhi's expression was a little unnatural, and he laughed at himself: "The contemptible people are now the anti-thieves that the court can't wait to get rid of, everyone avoids me like a snake and scorpion, but Brother Hanzhang floated across the ocean to visit the contemptible people, which is really rare!" ”

"In addition to visiting Brother Ben Gu, there is actually an extremely important thing for the contemptible people to land on the island this time." Luo Longwen said.

Wang Zhi couldn't help but move in his heart, as the so-called Three Treasures Hall for nothing, although he and Luo Longwen still have a little friendship, but it has not yet reached the point of letting the other party sacrifice his life to visit, so he guessed that Luo Longwen was appointed by the official, otherwise Luo Longwen would definitely not dare to come to him so grandly, so he asked quietly: "Oh? What's the matter with Brother Hanzhang? ”

Luo Longwen glanced at the widow Yu Jiu Shengding, Wang Zhi immediately understood, and found a reason to take Yu Jiu Shengding out, and a faint fierce light flashed in the latter's eyes when he left.

"Okay, there are no outsiders now, Brother Hanzhang, please speak up!" Wang Zhi said with a little expectation.

Luo Longwen's original intention was to let Wang Zhi take Xu Yuanliang away, but seeing that Wang Zhi didn't seem to have that intention, he obviously trusted Xu Yuanliang very much, so he said straight to the point: "Brother Bengu, the contemptible person came to Zhao'an this time on the order of the governor of Zhizhejiang!" ”

Although Wang Zhi had already guessed a few points, he was still a little trembling with excitement when he heard this, and said deliciously: "Brother Hanzhang is this true?" ”

Wang Zhi was very surprised, and at the same time was very surprised, now the officers and soldiers are like a rainbow, he is restless every day, that is, he is worried that the officers and soldiers will come to encircle and suppress him, but he did not think that Xu Jin, the governor of Zhejiang, actually wanted to recruit himself.

Luo Longwen smiled and said: "How dare you joke about this kind of thing, here is a copy of the Governor's recruitment document, Brother Ben Gu also asks for it!" ”

After Luo Longwen finished speaking, he took out Xu Jin's Zhao'an document and handed it to Wang Zhi.
