In the thirty-first year of Jiajing, at the beginning of winter, Zhoushan Ligang was completed! Vast harbors, fortresses with artillery, trade bazaars, churches of the Francophiles, thousands of houses......

Everything is more brilliant than the original Shuangyu Port.

On the day of the completion of Ligang, Wang Zhi, the overlord of the sea and the uncrowned king of the Japanese Emperor, hosted a banquet for the leaders of the group of Japanese in Ligang. Whether it was the Japanese who were directly under Wang Zhi's command, or the Japanese who were indirectly under Wang Zhi's control, or the Japanese who were not under Wang Zhi's control and did not control each other, almost all the Japanese leaders with heads and faces attended this banquet. Even the hostile Japanese were very face-saving and sent people to attend. For example, Xu Hai, although he did not attend the banquet in person, he also sent Saburo Toribayashi to celebrate with generous gifts.

The banquet venue was placed in the open space in front of the Ligang Wharf, and all the red carpets were laid out, and a few cases were widely placed.

There were hundreds of large and small leaders of the Japanese robbers, and they were seated in order of strength.

Wang Zhi sat in the most noble first place of the banquet, showing his "Hui King" honor guard to the fullest, he was dressed in a gilt embroidered gold python robe, a jade belt around his waist, a yellow umbrella with five eaves on a gold roof, four beautiful maids on his side, and fifty strong gold armor and silver helmet guards behind him were lined up like a fan.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the completion of Ligang today is a day of great joy for us, so this king invites you to congratulate you with the banquet."

Wang Zhi lifted the gold bottle, laughed heartily, and said to the group of would-be robbers.

"Thank you King Hui, it is all thanks to King Hui's strategizing, and we have the place of Ligang."

"The alliance leader is mighty, I'm waiting for it to be gone."

"Congratulations, the king."

"Captain Hexiwang."

At the banquet, the leaders of the Japanese robbers stood up one after another and raised their glasses respectfully, and they did not have the same name for Wang Zhi. Some are called the king of Hui, some are called the leader of the alliance, some are called the king, and some are called the leader of Wang...... From the inconsistent titles, it can also be seen that the Japanese are not monolithic.

"Today we drink this glass of wine together, and we will share the glory and wealth of maritime trade in the future." Wang Zhi looked at the leader of the Japanese in the field with satisfaction, raised the gold bottle in high spirits, raised his head and drank the wine in the cup.

"Share the glory and wealth." A group of the leaders of the pirates shouted after them, raising their glasses and drinking them all.

"Ladies and gentlemen, please be seated. Come on, pass the dancing girl on the stage to cheer up. Wang Zhi invited a group of Japanese robbers to sit down, and let people pass on the dancing girls.

Soon, a group of graceful widows came on the stage, twisting their waists during the banquet, like willows supporting the wind.

A group of unscrupulous widows, their eyes were hot, and some of them dared to directly pull the dancer into their arms, up and down their hands, Wang Zhi laughed, and did not stop it, and the rest of the widows also followed suit when they saw this.

For a while, the banquet became hot.

"Alliance leader, our Ligang will not suffer from the disaster of Shuangyu Port again, right?!" At the banquet, there was a leader of the Japanese who had experienced the disaster of Shuangyu Port, and the disaster of the day was vividly remembered, and he couldn't help but say to Wang Zhi with some worry.

"He Laosan, you think about it too much. Nowadays, whether it is Ningbo Mansion, Shaoxing Mansion, or Hangzhou Mansion, which is not acquiescing to our private market, the government is turning a blind eye to this. ”

"The day before yesterday, I also took my subordinate Erlang to the streets of Suzhou Mansion to buy a hundred pieces of cloth, and the Suzhou Mansion government officials didn't care."

"It's just that you old boy thinks a lot! The older you get, the less daring you get, which is really funny. ”

The banquet was hot, and He Laosan poured a basin of cold water, and the people couldn't help laughing.

"No, once I was bitten by a snake for ten years and was afraid of the well rope, I experienced the disaster of Shuangyu Port back then, it was really a river of blood."

He Laosan shook his head and smiled bitterly.

When the other Japanese people heard this, they laughed even more, "At this time and that time, now the government has acquiesced to the private market, I heard that there are still many officials who also propose to open the sea ban, and the people in Fujian and Zhejiang are even more inclined to the private market, there is a saying what is called, the trend of the times, this sea trade is the trend of the times." ”

"What He Laosan is worried about is not groundless. At the beginning of Shuangyu Port, this king also experienced it personally, if it wasn't for this king's luck to escape, this king would not have the opportunity to sit in front of you today. ”

Wang Zhi waved his hand to stop the chaos in the field, stretched out his finger and pointed at He Laosan, and said leisurely.

There was a moment of silence in the room.

"After all, the private market is a small fight, and it is difficult to become a climate, only when the Ming Court opens the port through the city, our generation can make a big show."

Wang Zhi slowly glanced at the group of would-be robbers, then looked at the sea in the distance, and said with a firm face.

"Open the port to the city?!"

The group of would-be robbers looked at each other, but they didn't expect Wang Zhi's ideal to be so grand.

"That's right! It's the opening of the city! For today's world, it is the world of sea trade! The merchant ships of the Franc Machine were not far away, all over the wild lands of the ocean, and they had already made a lot of money. The Ming Dynasty is the center of the whole world, and its population and wealth are far greater than those of the barbaric land, and there are huge business opportunities and wealth here. As long as the port is opened, we will have endless glory and wealth! ”

Wang Zhi said to the Japanese in high spirits, depicting a grand plan for them to prosper in the sea trade.

The eyes of the would-be robbers couldn't help but be hot.

He Laosan and some calm Japanese robbers were cautious about the grand plan depicted by Wang Zhi.

The sea ban is a national policy of the Ming Dynasty, and it can allow the opening of the port through the city? !

"Hehe, He Laosan, although your worries are not groundless, they are too pessimistic! As they say, sea trade has been driven by the general trend! You just said Shuangyu Port, hehe, yes, he Zhu Su destroyed Shuangyu Port and killed Li Guangtou and others, so what?! He Zhu Su did not know the current affairs, and he was strictly forbidden by the sea, and as a result, he was killed by the scholars and doctors who were interested in the sea trade in Jiangsu and Zhejiang. Since then, the Minister of Inspection is no longer established, and no one inside and outside the court dares to mention the matter of the sea ban! Moreover, if you look at Zhang Damao and He Dacang around you, they are the Fujian sailors who destroyed Shuangyu Port at the beginning, and when Zhu Kun dismissed these pirate ships, the court did not pay food and salary, causing the Fujian Navy to mutiny, and most of the warships went directly to the king's command. Zhang Damao, He Dacang, and a few of them are the hundred households of the water division, and now they have become us! There are also many officials who have written to admonish that the sea should be opened and forbidden...... Therefore, sea trade is the trend of the times! ”

"Not to mention, the year before last, this king cooperated with the Jiangsu and Zhejiang government to arrest the pirates Lu Qi and Shen Jiu, who were full of evil, and last year this king was entrusted by the Haidao Yamen to capture and kill Chen Sipan, and made great contributions to maintaining order in the sea area."

"So, it's time, this king has decided to ask the Ming court for trade tomorrow and open the port and open the city!"

"With the opening of the city, everything is legal, and the disaster of Shuangyu Port will never happen again! Our prosperity is coming! ”

Wang Zhi was full of ambition, raised his wine glass, and said impassionedly to the group of would-be robbers, like a god.
