"Hey, hey, hey......" Luo Qing and Luo Sheng laughed dryly together. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Luo Xin shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Where do I have that mind now?" ”
Hearing Luo Xin's words, the two of them looked at each other, and Luo Qing lowered his voice and said:
"Little brother, is the matter really that serious?"
Luo Xin pondered a little and said, "It's not so serious, but don't take it lightly, and always be prepared." How many of your two henchmen are henchmen? ”
Luo Qing and Luo Xin glanced at each other, and Luo Qing said in a low voice: "One thousand, I can pull away a thousand people." ”
"Good!" Luo Xin perked up and said: "With these thousand people, at least the safety of the two of you can be guaranteed." ”
"But ......," Luo Qing frowned and said, "We are very far away from the grassland here, and if something happens, it will be very difficult for us to go to the grassland." ”
Luo Xin nodded, his brows furrowed deeply, and suddenly his heart moved, and he remembered a big island.
"Taiwan!"
At this time, the island of Taiwan should not have been discovered, but it was discovered, probably some pirates. If Taiwan can be occupied, the Luo family will have a real place to stay.
But......
If you want to occupy Taiwan, you must have sea ships, and the navy of the Ming Dynasty should not think about it. It is impossible for Luo Xin to meddle in the navy, and once he intervenes in the navy, Emperor Jiajing is afraid that he will deal with him immediately. The navy of the Ming Dynasty could not move......
That's the only way to rob pirate ships!
In this way, I really want to participate in Hu Zongxian's anti-Japanese struggle.
Luo Xin not only rubbed his brows with a little headache, but also looked at Luo Qing and said, "Do you know how to water that thousand people?" ”
Luo Qing smiled and said, "How can people who live in the southeast not know water?" ”
"Will it make the ship?"
"This ...... It doesn't seem to ...... But maybe. ”
"Investigate tomorrow among your thousand, who will make the ship?"
"Good!" Luo Qing nodded immediately, he didn't ask Luo Xin the reason, he was used to what Luo Xin said, and he would do whatever he did.
"Do you know pirates?"
Luo Qing and Luo Sheng were stunned for a moment, and then shook their heads together. Luo Xin asked again:
"Do you two know the distribution of those pirates? Is this where they are staying? ”
"I know two!" Luo Qingdao.
Luo Xin was overjoyed and said, "Which two?" In what place? ”
"That's two small groups of pirates, and each pirate has only a few hundred people and a few ships. Two small islands about a few hundred miles off the coast. In fact, there are a lot of islands in that area, and there are a lot of small groups of pirates entrenched there, but we haven't figured out exactly where they are. ”
"You're not a trolls, how can you know so clearly?" Luo Xin asked curiously.
"I have a friend in the water army."
Luo Xin pondered for a moment and said, "Let's let this matter go first." ”
"Little brother, when are you going to open the sea?"
"No hurry!" Luo Xin said with a smile: "It is not yet the first month, according to the convention, it will not be opened until the first month, I will understand the situation these days." Big brother, can you get a sea boat? ”
"This ...... If you spend money on it, you can buy it, but it's expensive. ”
Luo Xin nodded, feeling a little embarrassed, and Luo Xin didn't have much money on him at this time. After a moment's thought, he said:
"What does that friend of your trolls do?"
"It's a sailor general, in charge of a boat."
"Tell me about his specific situation."
"He is also an old military household, and the life of the navy army was originally very difficult, but after Hu Butang took charge of the southeast, he vigorously rectified the navy, and now his life is much better."
"Hmm!" Luo Xin nodded and said, "Find an opportunity to contact the navy more and see if you can bring some people over." Find those who don't have families. ”
"Good! This matter is not difficult, although the life of the navy army is better now, but it is just like that, it is still bitter. ”
The three brothers drank until the evening, and then Luo Xin returned to his house. The next day, I thought about waiting for Qi Jiguang to come and see what this anti-Japanese hero looked like, but early in the morning, someone sent by Hu Zongxian asked Luo Xin to go to Suzhou.
Even if Luo Xin understood that this was arranged by Hu Zongxian, and he wanted to see Wang Zhi's godson Mao Haifeng, he packed up, took a carriage, and went straight to Suzhou with the guards.
All the way unimpeded into the Governor's Palace, into the lobby, I saw that there were only two people in the lobby, one was Hu Zongxian, the other was a man about thirty years old, very tall and burly, seeing Luo Xin come in, Hu Zongxian stood up, saw Hu Zongxian stand up, that Mao Haifeng also stood up reluctantly.
"No, come and do it!" Hu Zongxian greeted warmly. After Luo Xin and Hu Zongxian said hello, they sat down, and then looked at Mao Haifeng, and Mao Haifeng was also looking Luo Xin up and down at this time. Then he frowned and said:
"You are the official sent by the capital to take charge of the city's shipping department?"
Luo Xin looked at Hu Zongxian, and Hu Zongxian shrugged his shoulders, which meant to tell Luo Xin that he had not told Mao Haifeng about Luo Xin's identity. Luo Xinxin felt funny, it seems that this Hu Zongxian is still dissatisfied with himself, he gave himself a dismount last time, but after his own rhetoric, not only resolved his dismount, but also made Hu Zongxian appear lacking momentum in front of him. This made Hu Zongxian very uncomfortable, feeling that between him and Luo Xin, it seemed that he Hu Zongxian did not grasp the initiative, a person with strong habits naturally wanted to grasp the initiative, this is to use piracy to give himself an ugly look, to regain the initiative, at least to overwhelm Luo Xin in momentum, let Luo Xin know, whose territory this is.
Understood Hu Zongxian's thoughts, Luo Xin was amused, but also decided to take this matter seriously, at this time his views were different from before, before for the anti-Japanese matter, he only wanted to hide as far as he wanted, but yesterday I remembered the matter of Taiwan, so I thought about making some layouts. For pirates, Luo Xin also had research in his previous life, especially the pirates of the Ming Dynasty, because the history of the anti-Japanese war was a very important part of the history of the Ming Dynasty. Therefore, he knows the pirates of this period very well, don't look at them as vicious, but they are adrift on the sea all year round, and they have an unimaginable yearning for land. And because of the over-exaggeration of scholars in this period of the Ming Dynasty, even the pirates also have a kind of respect for scholars in their subconscious, especially for university scholars, and even have a trace of fear. Therefore, Luo Xin did not answer his words, but nodded lightly and arrogantly.
The reason why Mao Haifeng looks down on Luo Xin is because Luo Xin is too young, in his opinion, Luo Xin is just a child, if he is on the ship, he is still the lowest sailor at Luo Xin's age. At such an age, how old an official would he be in the Ming officialdom?
However, Luo Xin's arrogant attitude made Mao Haifeng's attitude a little more serious, and he thought in his heart that the bigger the official, the more arrogant he should be. Will a person who is not arrogant be an official?
However, Luo Xin's age is too young, and such a young age really makes Mao Haifeng feel distrusted. couldn't help but look at Hu Zongxian, and said secretly in his heart:
"Could it be that Hu Zongxian just found someone to fool me?"
Although he is coarse, it does not mean that he is stupid. What's more, his stepfather, Wang Zhi, had already reminded him that Ming officials were very cunning and should not be easily fooled. And he also knew that it was his father-in-law who was fooled and almost died at the hands of the Ming officers and soldiers. So his heart immediately became suspicious. However, he was not afraid, because his father-in-law Wang Zhi told him that as long as Wang Zhi did not go ashore and was caught by the Ming government, Mao Haifeng would not be arrested even if he was arrogant on the shore. Therefore, when he saw the appearance of Hu Zongxian's old god, he was angry in his heart, but Hu Zongxian was in a high position after all, although he knew that as long as Wang Zhi was not arrested, Hu Zongxian would not do anything to him, but he was still a little afraid in his heart. Once Hu Zongxian finally tears his face, he won't care about him at that time. He looked at Luo Xin, and said without concealing his contempt in his eyes:
"Show me the official seal."
"You're not qualified!" Luo Xin said lightly, a broken pirate wants to see Luo Xin's official seal, what does Luo Xin think?
Mao Haifeng sat up straight, wrinkled his brows and said, "Then there is no need to talk about it?" ”
Hu Zongxian on the side frowned, he didn't expect Mao Haifeng to be so domineering, and he didn't look like this when he saw himself before? Seeing that things were about to collapse, his heart became anxious, and just as he wanted to speak, he heard Luo Xin say lightly:
"It's up to you to talk, and it's up to you not to talk. When you want to talk, come to me Luo Xin. ”
Mao Haifeng's expression was stunned, he felt that the name Luo Xin was too familiar, but he couldn't remember it for a while. However, it only took a few breaths to remember who Luo Xin was, stood up with a bang, looked at Luo Xin and said:
"You are the great Confucian who wrote "Confucius and Mencius", the military god of the Ming Dynasty?"
This time, it was Luo Xin's turn to be stunned and said: "Have you read the "Confucius and Mencius" I wrote? ”
Mao Haifeng's face was flushed, he was at a loss, and he said, "No...... Haven't seen it...... Heard of ......"
Luo Xin sighed lightly, this Ming Dynasty really raised the literati to a very high position, and even when a pirate saw him, the first thing he proposed was his identity as a literati, not his identity as a martial marquis. It's just that the look on his face still said lightly:
"Okay, since Mao Zhuangshi doesn't want to talk about it today, let's talk about it another day."
After the words fell, Luo Xin was about to stand up, but he saw that Mao Haifeng waved his hand again and again: "No, no, no!" Talk ...... Talking about ......"
Luo Xin sat down on the buttocks he had just raised, raised his hand and pointed to the chair and said, "Then sit down and talk." ”
"Hey!"
Mao Haifeng sat down a little crampedly, looking at Luo Xin in awe. Hu Zongxian on the side was very unhappy at this time, it stands to reason that Hu Zongxian is now a first-class member, and Luo Xin is a fifth-grade member, but he has never seen the kind of awe revealed at this time in Mao Haifeng's eyes. He knew in his heart that Mao Haifeng's awe of Luo Xin was not because Luo Xin was the god of war. These pirates are very brave, if Luo Xin only has the identity of a military god, Mao Haifeng is really not afraid, the belief of the pirates is, you say powerful, no. Everything has to be talked about later.
The reason why Mao Haifeng is in awe of Luo Xin is because of Luo Xin's identity as a Confucian. This is incomparable to Hu Zongxian, although he is also a Jinshi, but he is not a champion, let alone a Confucian. It's just that the jealousy in his heart was quickly hidden, and he knew that he needed Luo Xin's help at this time, so he calmed down and sat aside to watch. Mao Haifeng's demeanor at this time was completely different, and he no longer had arrogance and disdain for Luo Xin, and looked at Luo Xin with a look of awe and said:
"I knew it was you old, how dare I say such bastard words, and please atone for your sins."
Luo Xin always felt strange, even if the Ming Dynasty valued literature over martial arts, a pirate would not be so reverent of literati, right? He asked:
"Do you hear about me a lot overseas?"
"Of course!" Mao Haifeng suddenly became excited again and said: "You don't know that now your reputation has long spread to Japan, especially your "Yanglin Poetry Collection" is a household name in Japan!" ”
Luo Xin nodded and understood, don't look at the Ming Dynasty, but Japan still worships the Ming culture abnormally, and his poems are all classics, and it is not unusual to cause a sensation in Japan.
Luo Xin's heart was relieved, it seems that his identity has played a very important role in this negotiation. It's just that he has already told Hu Zongxian before that he doesn't want to participate in the anti-Japanese war, and he came here just to support Hu Zongxian and tell Mao Haifeng that he is really going to open the sea. Looking at Mao Haifeng's appearance now, he already believed that if he directly participated in the negotiations, it would make Hu Zongxian suspicious, so he turned his head to look at Hu Zongxian and said:
"Lord Ministry, now the lower officials have proved the determination of the court to open the sea, and the task of the lower officials has also been completed."
Seeing that Luo Xin had the intention of leaving, Hu Zongxian hurriedly waved his hand and said, "No, don't worry." You sit, I'll talk to Mao Gongzi. ”
Luo Xin nodded, lowered his eyes slightly, and said no more. Mao Haifeng over there looked at Luo Xin, then at Hu Zongxian, and then looked at Luo Xindao:
"Lord Luo, you ...... Don't talk to them? ”
Luo Xin raised his eyes and said with a faint smile: "Mao Zhuangshi, this official only came to Hangzhou to open the sea, and the rest of the things are not within the scope of this official's authority." Of course, after Mao Gongzi finished talking with the minister, he wanted to talk to the official about opening the sea, and the official welcomed it. ”
"Okay!" Mao Haifeng was stunned for a moment, and then turned to Hu Zongxian and said: "Lord Ministry, Haifeng has already told you that as long as the imperial court opens the sea, we are willing to join it, and fully assist the imperial court to eliminate the Japanese invaders." ”
Hu Zongxian's eyes narrowed slightly: "Young Master Mao, now that Lord Luo has come, he has come to open the sea with His Majesty's will." Presumably, you should be trustworthy about Lord Luo's identity. ”
"Trustworthy, trustworthy!" Mao Haifeng nodded again and again, and did not forget to turn his head and smile at Luo Xin.
