"My lord!" He Nian almost cried: "Are you really not in a hurry? It's been a long time, and those merchants of the vassal kingdom should be here! ”

"No hurry, no hurry!" Luo Xin said with a smile: "What should come will always come." Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info”

"Your Excellency, ......"

A rush of footsteps came, He Nian stopped the sound, and the three of them turned their heads to look, and saw Wan Daquan walking in hurriedly with Yu Dayou. When Yu Dayou saw Luo Xin, his eyes lit up, and he walked a few steps forward and said:

"I will meet you at the end."

"General Yu, please be seated." Luo Xin hurriedly stood up and greeted with a smile, He Nian and Wang Ziren also stood up, and greeted each other with Yu Dayou, and then the four of them sat down again. Luo Xin asked in a condensed voice:

"General Yu, you're not in Suzhou, why did you come here?"

"If there's one thing you don't understand, I'll ask you for advice."

"What's the matter?" Not only Luo Xin was curious, but He Nian and Wang Ziren were also curious.

"Half a month ago, the sailors dispatched forty-five sea vessels."

"The sailor is dispatched?" He Nian frowned and said, "Now that there are no pirates, what are the sailors going out for?" ”

Wang Ziren also frowned and asked, "Could it be that Hu Zongxian learned of Wang Zhi's whereabouts and went to hunt down Wang Zhi?" ”

"I don't know!" Yu Dayou shook his head and said, "But the sailor who went out today came back, and only two ships came back." ”

He Nian and Wang Ziren's faces changed greatly, and He Nian said urgently: "What do you mean?" Could it be that they were defeated by Wang Zhi? The sea ships were all robbed by Wang Zhi? ”

The look on Yu Dayou's face became more and more strange, and he said: "But the people are almost not injured, but their armor and blades have been robbed. In other words, someone defeated the sailors at sea, but did not kill the Ming officers and soldiers, but only stripped them naked, and then gave them back two boats and let them ride back. My lord, the last general really can't understand why this happened. ”

He Nian and Wang Ziren looked at Yu Dayou dumbfounded, their faces in complete disbelief. Half-ringing, Wang Ziren thought about it and said:

"Could this be that there is another pirate, and that pirate doesn't want to go against the Ming Dynasty, so it leaves room for the Ming officers and soldiers?"

Yu Dayou didn't pay attention to He Nian and Wang Ziren, he just stared at Luo Xin, he found that from the time he told the story, Luo Xin's expression had been very calm, which couldn't help but make him admire and admire.

"My lord, please also solve the doubts of the last general."

He Nian and Wang Ziren's eyes also looked over, and the corners of Luo Xin's mouth flashed with a hint of sarcasm: "First of all, I think there are only two reasons for Hu Zongxian to send troops.

The first reason. Luo Xin raised a finger and said, "Hunt down Wang Zhi." ”

"The second reason." Luo Xin stretched out another finger and said, "They went to rob the merchants of the vassal kingdom." ”

"Robbery...... Merchant ...... of the feudal kingdom"

Yu Dayou, He Nian and Wang Ziren's faces changed. Luo Xin put down his hand and said softly:

"Do you think Hu Zongxian used courage to go to the sea to chase and kill Wang Zhi? Or does he have the ability to find Wang Zhi's hiding place? ”

Yu Dayou, He Nian and Wang Ziren glanced at each other, and then they all shook their heads. The sarcasm on Luo Xin's face magnified.

In this way, he went to rob the merchants of the vassal kingdom. On the one hand, I can lead him to get rich, and on the other hand, I can destroy the market company I run. The third aspect is that you can raise your own respect. Kill three birds with one stone. ”

There was a sudden silence in the second hall, and Yu Dayou asked, "Then how do you explain that they were stripped back?" ”

"Let's analyze it again, the only pirates who were famous in the southeast before were Wang Zhi, Xu Hai, Ye Ma and Xin Golang, and the rest of the pirates are not in the climate, right?"

"Yes!" For this point, Yu Dayou and the three of them are very clear.

"Let's recall, how did Ye Ma die? If no one secretly snatched Xu Hai and Ye Ma's boat parked on the beach, do you think Ye Ma would still die? ”

"You mean......" Yu Dayou's eyes lit up and said, "There is a group of pirates that we and Wang Zhi and the others have not paid attention to, that is, those pirates who are not in the climate, suddenly attacked Xu Hai and Ye Ma's sea ships and snatched their sea ships away?"

So, they also did the sea ship that snatched Wang Zhi and others before? ”

"It should be!" Luo Xin nodded and said: "The current situation is that three of the four great Kou on the sea have died, and Wang Zhi has also become a remnant of the defeated army. I am afraid that at this time, the mysterious pirate has become the overlord of the sea, replacing Wang Zhi.

To be honest, they robbed Xu Hai and Wang Zhi's ships twice, which was an important factor in their victory. If they hadn't robbed Xu Hai and Wang Zhi's ships, Wang Zhi and they would have retreated to the sea a long time ago, we wouldn't have almost killed Xu Hai, Ye Ma, and Xin Wulang at all. Annihilate the Wakos. From this point on, they have all made great contributions to the Ming Dynasty. Also from this point of view, they have never stepped on the shore, nor have they ever done anything to burn, kill and loot, which proves that they have no intention of going against the Ming Dynasty. They just wanted to get rich, so it is not surprising that they just robbed the ships and equipment of the Daming Naval Division, but released the people back. ”

Yu Dayou pondered for a moment and said: "Hu Zongxian should be killed, but that pirate should also be exterminated." ”

Luo Xin shook his head and said, "You and I can't kill Hu Zongxian, because they are just speculation, there is no evidence." The pirates can't be killed, because they don't even know where they are. ”

"Bang!" Yu Dayou slammed his fist on the table, and his face showed anger.

Luo Xin patted him on the shoulder and said, "Don't think about it so much, after losing so many sea ships, Hu Zongxian has to be busy." As long as he doesn't mess with me, I won't bother with him. Similarly, as long as the pirates don't come to destroy the city, I won't bother with them. ”

"My lord, if you let it go like this, Hu Zongxian will quickly smooth out this matter, and then he will still target your lord. The pirates continue to grow, and they will still be a disaster for the southeast. Yu Dayou said in a condensed voice.

"There's no way around it." Luo Xin sighed and said, "Hu Zongxian and Xu Jie have joined forces, I can't do anything about him." Even if I appeal to Your Majesty, I can only impeach Hu Zong's military army and defeat it, and as for the previous speculations without evidence, I can't report it. This will not hurt Hu Zongxian, but it will make His Majesty more worried about the southeast and let Hu Zongxian continue to guard the southeast. After all, when Hu Zongxian was in the southeast, Wang Zhi's army was defeated, and Xu Hai, Ye Ma and Xin Wulang were killed in battle. ”

"But...... What do these exploits have to do with Hu Zongxian? ”

"But it has nothing to do with me. So, since I didn't do it, who did it? Is it you, or Qi Jiguang? No matter which of the two of you it is, you are all under the leadership of Hu Zongxian, and this credit naturally belongs to Hu Zongxian. ”

"This ...... There's no way to take him? Yu Dayou said unwillingly.
