In Jinghu County Water Village, Ning Zhiwen sat at the table, holding a small pair of scissors to cut off the wick, the flame jumped slightly, and the room suddenly became much brighter. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

It's midnight on the sun and the moon, but Ning Zhiwen still doesn't feel the slightest sleepiness, he is naturally waiting for someone.

There was a gentle knock on the door outside, and the chief steward Huang Hai walked over, opened the door, and bowed slightly: "Young Master Yang." ”

Yang Zhi returned the salute: "Mr. Huang is polite." ”

"The master is waiting for you!" Huang Hai smiled and turned sideways to let Yang Zhi walk in, while he himself walked to the door and said, "Master, I'll go and inspect again, the people of this Jinghu Water Master are also lazy, and they can't be reassured." ”

Ning Zhiwen waved his hand and motioned for the Yellow Sea to go.

The door was gently closed, Yang Zhi sat opposite Ning Zhiwen, did not speak, first took out a sealed letter from his arms, put it on the table, and pushed it in front of Ning Zhiwen, "This is the letter from Ling Gongzi to you, which was sent urgently through our secret channels." ”

Ning Zhiwen nodded and put the letter away.

"Won't you take a look?" Yang Zhi glanced at the other party in some surprise.

"What's there to see." Ning Zhiwen raised his eyebrows, "It's nothing more than the words of some parents who are short and even complain." Since the queen mother promised me, their family will live well in Yuejing, what reason do I have not to believe it? ”

Yang Zhi smiled, this Ning Zhiwen is really a character, worthy of a great pirate leader who once crossed the sea, this decisiveness is admirable.

"Is Childe's business done? The result? Ning Zhiwen asked.

Yang Zhi shook his head with some regret, "Cheng Wuben, I didn't agree at all." But this is also expected, this person is a granite head who is stupidly loyal to the Min clan. Fortunately, Zeng Lin has already decided to take refuge in us, and with him to help you, you will be much more relaxed in doing things. ”

"He knows about me?" Ning Zhiwen asked.

"I know some, but I don't know all of them, and this kind of thing can't be hidden from him at all, he is a thousand-year-old fox who is fine, just because you were introduced by the imperial mother, so that he has enough reason to believe that you are our person." Yang Zhi said with a smile: "But it doesn't matter, the state of Chu has gone, but the Ming Dynasty is thriving, and a smart person like Zeng Lin naturally knows how to find a good way out for himself in advance." He has entrusted me to send his grandson to the city of Yuejing. ”

"How credible is he?"

"It doesn't matter!" Yang Zhi shook his head: "You are not here to dismantle the platform of the Chu State, but to serve them in a real way and serve the Jinghu defense line they built, so there is no need to worry." By the way, you've been here for more than half a month, how do you feel? ”

"Jinghu Sailor is rotten to the bone." Ning Zhiwen shook his head and sighed, "It's not as good as the Quanzhou Water Master." ”

"Of course, it can't be compared, no matter how bad the Quanzhou Sailor is, it is also a maritime Sailor, Jinghu, it's just an inland river Sailor, how can it be compared? Besides, isn't there still you over there in Quanzhou? Yang Zhi laughed.

"Except for the boat, the Jinghu Naval Division, other people, from generals to soldiers, are basically unusable. They are nothing more than pigs living on water, and they have no other use than to extort the people. Originally, after arriving in Quanzhou, I also asked Zeng Lin to transform the Jinghu Water Division and incorporate it into the entire Water Division, but now I have given up. Ning Zhiwen said, "I really can't imagine that the water master of the Chu State is so rotten, which is shocking." Now it's not a question of whether they can use it, but I'm worried about whether they will be bad. ”

"We need an elite sailor here for his own use, what do you think about this? In Yang's opinion, since it is already rotten, it is better to cut him as soon as possible. ”

"What Yang Gongzi and I think is exactly what the hero sees." Ning Zhiwen said with a smile: "Now that I have been appointed by Zeng Lin as the commander of the Jinghu Water Division, and today I have also received the endorsement of Cheng Wuben, and I will command all the water warships and troops in Jinghu." So the first step is that I'm ready to take them under the knife. ”

"Hard?"

"Of course not!" Ning Zhiwen smiled: "There is a stream of water bandits in the Sand Lake, the largest lake in Jinghu County, there are about a thousand people, and I am ready to exterminate them." ”

"Borrowing a knife to kill someone?" Yang Zhi smacked his lips: "If the Jinghu Sailor is a rotten guy according to what you said, they will listen to you to exterminate the water bandits?" Their own family knows their own affairs, they won't be stupid enough to send them to death, right? ”

Ning Zhiwen touched his gray beard and said proudly: "Of course they won't, so the task I assigned to them is very easy, in their opinion, they will never encounter the water bandits, because we are at the forefront." They are following behind to pick up the credit and brush the existence, and I have already talked to them about the plan, and they are very happy. ”

Yang Zhi thought about it for a while, suddenly understood, and looked at Ning Zhiwen meaningfully: "The water bandits in the sand lake, I'm afraid I'm afraid I've already cleaned it up for you, right?" ”

"Sure enough, I can't hide it from Yang Gongzi." Ning Zhiwen looked at the other party with some regret: "I didn't clean them up, I just sent someone over to find their big boss." The little old man still has some prestige in this business, and they have already decided to defect to me, so let's borrow their knives first, and the banquet has been set up, just waiting for the guests to be served. ”

"Jiang is really old and spicy!" Yang Zhi gave a thumbs up to the other party: "There are many water bandits in Jinghu County, big and small, and now they have all taken refuge in you?" ”

"That's not, of course, if you don't take refuge in me, the final outcome will naturally be ashes, since Ning has arrived at Jinghu Lake, on this water, he will naturally not tolerate someone who does not listen to me." At this moment, Ning Zhiwen's eyes were sharp, and his domineering spirit was overflowing.

"Daming needs you to grasp the power of the water master here, and he also needs a strong water master, and now the power of the water master still can't satisfy His Majesty." Yang Zhidao: "Now Zeng Lin, Cheng Wuben is in power, you are naturally worry-free, but you have to know that as long as Min Ruoying returns to Beijing, Cheng Wuben's good days are only afraid that they will come to an end, so you must also plan ahead in this regard, don't tie yourself to Cheng Wuben's broken car, and when the time comes, we will overturn the car with him, and we will want to cry without tears." ”

Ning Zhiwen said with a smile: "Since I already knew this result, Ning will naturally avoid him, and Ning still has some ways to go to the capital, and there will naturally be someone to speak for me at that time." ”

"That's good." Yang Zhi said happily, dealing with someone like Ning Zhiwen is easy, know one and return to three, don't talk nonsense.

"And the most important thing is that the composition of the personnel of this water division in the future, Your Majesty means, at least two-thirds of this water division in the future should be people from the Ming Dynasty, only in this way, when the time comes to use it, can it be handy." Yang Zhidao.

"Two-thirds of them?" Hearing this request, Ning Zhiwen gasped, "With so many people, how can we operate to insert them without arousing the suspicion of others?" ”

"You can rest assured of this." Yang Zhi said: "The Qi people occupy the six eastern counties of Chu State, and I think that in the near future, more and more refugees will flee from the six eastern counties, and the Eagle Nest will arrange for people to flow to Jinghu County among these refugees." After you puncture the pustules of Jinghu sailors, you will definitely lack a large number of manpower, of course, you need to recruit new people on the boat, this is the opportunity for our people to come in brightly. ”

"I see, has the Eagle's Nest been arranging this for a long time? This is not something that can be prepared in a hurry, and the accent of those people alone cannot change in a short period of time. Ning Zhiwen said in surprise.

Yang Zhi smiled: "The Eagle's Nest has always been very efficient, since the second son of Ning defected to my Daming last year, the Eagle's Nest has been preparing these things." You don't need to be fine, anyway, you're a big backer, aren't you? ”

The two looked at each other and smiled.

"Use the money of the Chu State to train our Ming sailors, this business is hard to get." Yang Zhi sighed and said, "What is called far-sightedness, I can really feel it this time." By the way, Old Man Ning, this is some of my useful relationships in Jinghu County, among these people, the ones marked are not known to Zeng Lin, and if you contact them, you will have to hide it from Zeng Lin. The Eagle's Nest also has a station in Jinghu County, and now it has become the focus of the Eagle's Nest's operation. In the future, when you contact the Yuejing side, it will also be through their line. ”

"Got it!" Taking the paper from Yang Zhi's hand, Ning Zhiwen looked at the other party: "Is Yang Gongzi going back now?" ”

"No, I'm going to take a stroll around the Chu country and find some old friends." Yang Zhi spread his hands: "Grandpa still left a lot of things for me, they have been silent for many years, and it is time for them to shine." I'll go back when I'm done. By the way, Old Man Ning, you are also the number one person in Chu Guoke, and my grandfather didn't look for you at that time? ”

"Looking for me?" Ning Zhiwen smiled: "I'm afraid it's trouble for me!" Yang Xiang can't see people like me, if it weren't for the fact that I was hard enough in the background of Shangjing City, and I also paid a sum of money to the court every year, your grandfather would have to clean me up a long time ago. ”

Yang Zhi stood up with a big laugh, and arched his hand and said: "That's it, Yang has said goodbye, Old Man Ning, it's up to you to be here in Jinghu." ”

"Please tell Your Majesty and the Queen Mother that Ning will live up to the trust." Ning Zhiwen returned the courtesy.

"No need to send it." Looking at Ning Zhiwen, Yang Zhi waved his hand, "Being in the tiger's den, be careful yourself, even if the arrangement is good, but in fact, there will definitely be such and such loopholes, then you can only rely on yourself." ”
