"Your Majesty!" Xu Jie groaned and said: "Luo Xin once defeated Huang Taiji and repaired the Wanshou Palace for His Majesty, I think he still has the ability, but he is just new to the southeast, everything is not very familiar, it is in the familiarity, Your Majesty should give Luo Xin a little more time, and the old minister firmly believes that Luo Xin will not live up to His Majesty's expectations."

Emperor Jiajing nodded, and looked at Gao Gong again: "What does Gao Qing think?" ”

Gao Gong hurriedly spoke: "Your Majesty, I'm afraid there is no one in the court who knows more about financial management than Luo Xin now." ”

Emperor Jiajing remembered Luo Xin's repair of the Wanshou Palace, and couldn't help nodding again, Lu Shan on the side looked anxious, but he couldn't help it. Finally, Emperor Jiajing spoke, "

"Then let's watch for a few more days."

Night.

Qiantang River and Wusong River.

There was an endless stream of carriages and horses, and the six major families in the southeast continuously sent goods to the shore, waiting for the arrival of maritime merchants.

In fact, those maritime merchants were not maritime merchants at all, but pirates. They had monopolized the maritime trade, obtained goods from the Ming Dynasty, and then sold them to the maritime merchants of the vassal kingdom at sea, eating profits at both ends. If the caravan of the Ming Dynasty dared to go to sea privately, or if the caravan of a vassal country dared to buy goods from the Ming Dynasty privately, it would be intercepted and killed by pirates at sea.

Among these pirates, the two largest forces are Wang Zhi and Xu Hai, originally Wang Zhi had been negotiating with Hu Zongxian, and saw Luo Xin come to the southeast to establish the city of the city, he was ready to no longer smuggle, but to do business with Luo Xin's city department in a dignified manner, but later saw Luo Xin's embarrassing situation, he continued to negotiate with Hu Zongxian while continuing to smuggle.

At this time, the fleet sent by Xu Hai and some small groups of pirates were heading towards the Wusong River, while the fleet sent by Wang Zhi and some small groups of pirates were heading towards the Qiantang River. Each fleet had more than 20 large ships, and Wang Zhi and Xu Hai naturally did not come in person, but sent their men to come with more than a thousand pirates. They are the kings of the seas, and the confidence they play with makes them convinced that no one will dare to provoke them.

"It's coming!"

Someone from the six major families on the shore shouted, these people are naturally from the six major families, but they have no descendants, after all, this is smuggling, and as the six major families, they need to be avoided. They just sent their own concubines and housekeepers to run the business, and they were in charge of everything behind the scenes.

The people on the shore looked over the water, and saw more than twenty large ships breaking through the darkness and heading towards the shore. Approaching the shore, the bridge was lowered, and one by one the pirates came down, and the leaders approached the six great families and removed boxes of gold and silver from the ship, while the people of the six great families began to transport goods to the ship.

Time is running out at a rapid pace. Several island chiefs, the disciples of the six great families, and the housekeepers were chatting, and two-thirds of the gold and silver on the ship had been moved to the shore, and two-thirds of the goods on the shore had also been moved to the ship.

It was at this time......

"Boom ......"

Suddenly there was a thunderous sound in the distance, the sound of dense horses' hooves hitting the earth, and under the moonlight, groups of black shadows suddenly appeared.

"Cavalry!" I don't know who shouted.

"Whoosh ......"

The moon in the sky seemed to have disappeared, and was obscured by a field of arrows, and a wail sounded on the shore, and countless children of the six great families and pirates fell to the ground.

"Kill ......"

The sudden appearance of thousands of people, the very spicy killing, made the people of the six great families stay there, but those pirates reacted much faster, in the dark night they couldn't tell how many people came to attack them, and they saw their companions fall one by one, half of them fell in an instant, and one by one they ran frantically towards the water's edge, jumped on the gangplank, and ran towards the boat.

"Whoosh ......"

The cavalry had already rushed to the front, and the sharp arrows were heading towards the **** on the ship, and the ship sounded screams from time to time, accompanied by someone shouting:

"Sail! Sail! ”

Of more than 1,000 pirates, only 500 men sailed away from the shore in more than 20 ships, headed for the depths of the water, and soon disappeared in the night.

Qi Jiguang slapped the saddle fiercely, and said secretly in his heart: "If Lord Mintang is willing to cooperate with Lord Luo and send a naval army to intercept it, one of these pirates will also run." ”

He was very unhappy in his heart, and looked back at the people on the shore, who included more than three hundred people from the six great families, and fifty pirates. Qi Jiguang drank loudly and said:

"Get them away and get them!"

"Who are you!" At this time, a young man walked out, looked at Qi Jiguang in the dark and said, "I am a disciple of the Cui family, you dare to arrest me?" ”

Qi Jiguang's eyes narrowed slightly, jumped off the horse, and with a smile on his face, he walked in front of the young man, and said affectionately:

"The original son, the lower official will let you go, no, the family in your family will be arrested, and you need your Cui family's money to redeem it. If there is anyone else here who is a child or steward of a big family, if yes, stand up, let the official make sure, and let you go. ”

"I'm from the Lu family!"

"I'm from the Lu family!"

“…………”

In just a moment, several children of the family and the housekeeper walked out, and Qi Jiguang waved his hand and said:

"Arrest these people and lock them up separately, tie up the rest and put them in the barracks, and transport the gold, silver, and goods to the barracks."

Speaking of this, Qi Jiguang glared at his soldiers fiercely and said: "I know who you are, but remember for me that these goods and gold and silver belong to Lord Luo, and you are not allowed to move the slightest." ”

"Yes!"

The soldiers responded with a bang, and then tied up the people and transported the goods. Qi Jiguang cleaned up the battlefield on the Wusongkou side, and Luo Qing did the same by the Qiantang River.

Before dawn, Wusongkou and Qiantang River were empty, and there was not even a box of goods left.

At this time, in the six great families, those patriarchs and important people of the patriarchs were still sitting in the hall waiting, and there was only one day of trading on the fifteenth day of each month, so on this day, the heads of the six great families would not sleep, but waited for the news of the successful transaction to come back, and the gold and silver obtained were transported back, usually before dawn. So, they all sat in the lobby and waited while drinking tea.

City Division.

Luo Xin was also waiting, but he didn't know that he was waiting for Qi Jiguang and Luo Qing, because Qi Jiguang and Luo Qing each had three thousand strong soldiers, and they were suddenly attacked, how could they fail?

At this time, he was concerned about another strange soldier, the power of the sea all the way, Luo Sheng's navy. He couldn't help but worry, after all, Luo Sheng and they hadn't experienced a real naval battle yet.

As soon as the ships that escaped from Wusongkou and the Qiantang River sailed to the sea, they saw a fleet of ships coming from the opposite side. The pirates thought it was their answer, and sped off unsuspectingly in the opposite direction.

"Whoosh ......"

Suddenly a sparkle of fire flew towards their ship in the night sky, and before they could react, the stars landed on the ship, and then let out a thunderclap that made the pirates sit on the ground. The mind suffered a great fear, the opposite ship came up, a person jumped up, those pirates have been completely unprotected by the thunderbolt that they have never seen, Luo Sheng's people immediately collected their weapons, and then drove them to extinguish the fire, those pirates' minds were still buzzing, instinctively and mechanically began to extinguish the fire, and after the fire on the ship was extinguished, these pirates also woke up, and saw Luo Sheng around them one by one holding sharp blades, and they were unarmed, one by one poofed and kneeling on the ground, Even the atmosphere did not dare to come out.

Luo Sheng naturally didn't kill them, he needs manpower now, whether it is to conquer the island of Taiwan, or to build a country on the island of Taiwan in the future, he is extremely in need of manpower. He immediately scattered the remaining hundreds of people, divided them into boats, and then sailed towards the bank of the Qiantang River.

In the darkness of the night.

Luo Sheng's boat docked, Luo Sheng lit a torch, turned around in the air three times, and then saw that there was also a torch on the shore that turned three times.

"Dock, put the bridge, carry things." Luo Sheng ordered.

At the same time, nearly 2,000 people poured out from the shore, and it was Wan Daquan who was the leader, and the nearly 2,000 people were soldiers recruited by Tang Zhuang from the north in the past month or so.

There was a clatter, and a hundred carriages came from the darkness of the night and stopped on the shore. The nearly two thousand people on the shore, plus the thousands of people on the ship, quickly filled a hundred carriages, and then the nearly two thousand people followed Luo Sheng onto the ship, and more than seventy ships pulled anchor and quickly disappeared into the night. Wan Daquan led people to drive a hundred carts towards the manor outside Hangzhou.

On the sea.

Luo Sheng stood at the bow of the ship, looked in the direction of Hangzhou, and muttered in a low voice:

"I don't know when the next meeting will be."

Hangzhou.

City Division.

Luo Xin stood on top of the rockery with his hands in his hands, looked in the direction of the sea, and muttered in a low voice:

"It should be over!"

At this time, the entire city division was extremely silent, and the hundred guards around him were not in the city division at this time, if someone wanted to assassinate him at this time, it would be much easier.

There was a glimmer of white in the sky.

Luo Xin shook the hilt of the long sword stuck in the ground, and a smile appeared on his face.

"It's a shame that no one came to assassinate me! Everyone's thinking of me as a coward, right? Are you waiting for me to leave Hangzhou in a gloomy way? ”

Dawn.

The gates were wide open.

Wan Daquan rushed into the city with a hundred of his men and galloped towards the city. The soldiers defending the city looked at the backs of Wan Daquan and spat on the ground:

"Funeral! Your masters can't get mixed up anymore, you are arrogant! ”

Before the words fell, he heard the sound of horses' hooves in his ears, and when he turned his head to look, he saw hundreds of horsemen galloping towards the city gate, led by Qi Jiguang and Luo Qing.

At the same time, on the banks of Wusongkou and the Qiantang River, the heads of the six great families were standing there with people, there were no people, no goods, and no boats. The floor was a bit messy, and there were blood stains.

"Something's wrong!" A bad thought came to their minds.

"Your Excellency!" Wan Daquan stepped into Luo Xin's study and called with joy on his face.

"Success?" Luo Xin's eyes were burning staring at Wan Daquan.

Wan Daquan nodded excitedly and said, "It's successful." ”

There was a sound of footsteps, and Lu Daqing walked in quickly and said, "Master Hou, General Qi and Uncle Qi are here." ”

Luo Xin stood up and said, "Please wait for them in the second hall, I'll come in a while." ”

After a while, Luo Xin walked out in official uniforms and discussed with Qi Jiguang and Luo Qing, and Qi Jiguang and Luo Qing left. After Luo Xin sat in the second hall and drank a cup of tea slowly, he put down the teacup and said to Lu Daqing:

"Please He-sama and Wang-sama."

"Yes, Master Hou!"

After a while, He Nian and Wang Ziren came to the second hall, and Luo Xin said to Wang Ziren: "Bring everything you have prepared, and we will go to the prefect's yamen." ”

Wang Ziren's face immediately showed excitement and said, "My lord, but you have to do it?" ”

Luo Xin nodded and said, "It's time for us to do it." ”

"Wait a minute, sir!"

Wang Ziren left in a hurry, and after a while, he returned to the second hall with a stack of papers in his arms, and said to Luo Xin:

"Your Excellency, you're all set."

"Great power, order soldiers, let's go!"

"Yes, sir!"

Wan Daquan ordered the hundred soldiers, and the hundred soldiers were busy all night, but at this time, they were in good spirits, and followed behind Luo Xin with a blade in hand.

At this time, another six hundred soldiers poured in from the city gate, and it was Qi Jiguang and Luo Qing's subordinates, who were heading in the direction of the prefect's yamen. Another quarter of an hour passed, and a group of people rushed in from the city gate, but it was the people of the six great families, who were also hurrying towards the prefect's yamen. They didn't know what was going on in Wusongkou and on the banks of the Qiantang River, they remembered Song Danian at this time and wanted to ask Song Danian to investigate.

In front of the gate of the prefect's yamen.

This time, Luo Xin did not let Lu Daqing go to hand over the post, but walked to the gate of the prefect, and the guards in front of the gate stepped forward to stop Luo Xin, and said with a smile:

"Lord Luo, who are you today?"

"Lord Song is here?" Luo Xin asked with a smile.

Seeing the smiling look in Luo Xin's eyes, the guard showed a trace of disdain in his eyes and said, "The prefect hasn't come back yet." ”

"Oh, then let Yang Wenxiu come to see me."

"Okay, Lord Luo, wait a minute."

The guard walked into the prefect's yamen again, and went straight to the workshop and said, "Lord Yang, Luo Xin is looking for you again." ”

Yang Wenxiu's face showed impatience and said, "This Luo Xin's face is really thick enough. ”

As he spoke, he walked out, and the guard followed closely behind him, and said flatteringly:

"Lord Yang, won't you let him wait outside a little longer?"

"Forget it!" Yang Wenxiu said impatiently: "Hurry up and send him away." ”

"Adults are kind-hearted!" The guard staggered after him.

Outside the prefect's gate.

Luo Xin stood with his hands in his hands, and the breeze blew through him, lifting his robe. At this time, there were many people watching the excitement around the prefect's yamen, whispering one by one.

"Luo coerced goods again."

"He's so thick-skinned."

"It's a shame every day."

"It's pathetic."
